Great Blue Night Watchman

Lin Su slapped himself on the forehead: "Leave and go to the county government. If they can't find any useful clues, I will send the little witch to dig up the Zhao family's ancestral grave..."

After leaving the inn, the little witch automatically became invisible.

Lin Su entered the county government office and found Zeng Shigui. He and Li Zhiyuan were rummaging through the dark archives like a basement. The air was filled with the aroma of old books (objectively speaking, it was not really fragrant). The two people's eyes were red and their hair was messy. Zeng Shigui's official uniform was full of gray, and Li Zhiyuan's nostrils were full of gray.

"Brothers, you guys stayed up all night!" Lin Su said: "Did you gain anything?"

"How can there be any harvest? These dozens or hundreds of years of things are all piled together in a mess. There are dozens of county officials in charge of the library, and they all just eat and do nothing." Zeng Shigui gritted his teeth.

Li Zhiyuan's eyes turned slightly: "I'm not afraid of not doing things, but I'm afraid that the things I do are not done by human beings..."

"What's the meaning?"

Li Zhiyuan said: "You two, come and take a look at this booklet..."

This booklet records that seventy years ago, a major earthquake occurred here. Thousands of people died in the county. It was considered a major natural disaster. There was a brief record of the casualties. Li Zhiyuan made a mark in it. Above the mark was recorded Yes: 28 people died and 48 were injured at Yuyu Villa in Yupingshan. 13 houses collapsed and 61 were partially damaged.

Lin Su's eyes lit up.

Zeng Shigui frowned: "Is there any problem?"

Lin Sudao: "Seventy years ago, there was Yuyu Villa in Yuping Mountain, and the scale of the villa was quite large. In one earthquake, 74 houses were damaged, and 76 people were killed or injured... There is no reason for a place like this to be a barren mountain! "

Zeng Shigui's heart skipped a beat and he opened the "Beichuan County Chronicle" in his hand: "But in this county chronicle, it is clearly recorded that Yuping Mountain has been a barren mountain before. This county chronicle is the latest and was revised three years ago."

Li Zhiyuan's eyes flickered: "Three years ago, who was appointed magistrate of Beichuan County?"

"Li Han! He...does he dare to play tricks in the "County Chronicle"?" Zeng Shigui's eyes also flickered. The County Chronicle is the most important document in the county, almost the most authoritative history book of this era, because many policies in the county are formulated based on it.

"For such a dog, what else can he dare to do?" Li Zhiyuan said: "Next year will be the year of national survey again. He hurriedly designated Yuping Mountain as an ownerless barren mountain three years ago, maybe for this reason. Prepare for next year’s survey.”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them felt completely enlightened.

if……

Just say if...

If the Zhao family wants to occupy Yuping Mountain, they have several moves to make. The first step is to make it clear that Yuping Mountain is a barren mountain. The second step was to use various means to drive the villagers out of Yuping Mountain and plant the Zhao family's fruit trees all over the mountain, forming a de facto occupation. The third step is to take advantage of next year's national survey to truly obtain the land deed of Yuping Mountain, thereby becoming the owner of Yuping Mountain reasonably and legally.

However, all of this is just speculation and no evidence!

How to find evidence?

Lin Su stretched out his hand and pointed at the county annals. All the words in the county annals turned into a leaf on his literary tree, and all kinds of information entered his brain at the same time.

In this way, he walked into the Beichuan database that had been dusty for an unknown number of years...

On top of his mountain of articles, countless materials are opened at the same time, filtered, filtered...

Key search terms: Yuping Mountain, Yuyu Villa...

Soon, his eyes lit up...

The two people around him stared at him with bright eyes...

Although they did not believe that Lin Su could find any useful clues in such a short period of time, Lin Su had created too many miracles...

"Take a look!" Lin Su handed an open booklet to Li Zhiyuan.

This is a case file that happened twenty-five years ago. There was a dispute between Yuyu Villa and the Zhao family, and both parties suffered casualties...

"The first month of the year 25 years ago!" Li Zhiyuan's eyes flashed: "Zhao Xun passed the imperial examination 26 years ago and was awarded the title in August. At that time, he was the magistrate of Beichuan County. When there was a fight between his family and Yuyu Villa, he was still Beichuan County Magistrate! By the way, this Yuyu Villa is tough enough, even my parents’ hometown dares to confront it head-on."

Lin Sudao: "The outcome of this case is not clearly stated, but there are more detailed records in this booklet..."

On the yellowed paper, the aftermath of that incident was clearly recorded...

The two families fought, and the Zhao family suffered even greater losses. The Zhao family asked Yuyu Villa to use the Yuping Mountain land deed as compensation, but Yuyu Villa refused to comply, and eventually compensated the Zhao family a thousand taels of silver.

Seeing this, Zeng Shigui and Li Zhiyuan's eyes lit up at the same time!

Found it!

There is a land deed for Yuping Mountain, and it originally belonged to Yuyu Villa. The Zhao family started planning the land deed for Yuping Mountain the second year after Zhao Xun became a new official in the officialdom, but they did not get it.

"Yuyu Villa was still there twenty-five years ago, and it can produce a thousand taels of silver at a time. It obviously has not declined. So, when did it decline?" Li Zhiyuan is also the supervisor. Although he is a bit dull, he still There is still some professional sensitivity. A key question is raised.

"Here!" Lin Su threw him a booklet, which clearly recorded that twenty-four years ago, on a winter night, a group of bandits entered Yuping Mountain and killed all 312 people in Yuyu Villa, from the owner to the maids. Gotta be clean.

Zeng Shigui's hand holding the booklet trembled slightly.

Robbery invasion? Destroyed Yuyu Villa?

This matter itself must be credible, because there is no Yuyu Villa now, but who is the robber? Are they real robbers or government officials?

Zhao Xun, are you too poisonous?

312 people!

Lin Su said slowly: "No matter whether the robber's surname is Zhao or Li, there is one thing they definitely failed to accomplish. That is, they did not find the Yuping Mountain land deed in the end."

"This...what does this mean?" Zeng Shigui was already a little unable to keep up with the thinking of the two supervisors.

"Two possibilities!" Lin Su said: "One possibility is that the Yuping Mountain land deed was hidden too secretly and no one found it. The other possibility is that Yuyu Villa foresaw the crisis in advance and sent the land deed out of Yuping Mountain in advance."

"If it's the former, there's nothing we can do. If it's the latter, we have a chance to get the land deed back!" Li Zhiyuan said.

Exactly!

If Yuyu Villa had foreseen the danger in advance and sent the land deed out of the Villa, then there must be people alive in Yuyu Villa, and if they could leave the land deed, they would naturally be able to keep people.

As long as we find this person and get the Yuping Mountain land deed, the Zhao family will be completely defeated!

"I will send someone out to inquire now..." Zeng Shigui left the house in a hurry.

"I will also go back to the village and ask. Some elders in the village may know." Li Zhiyuan said, "Will you come with me?"

"I won't go!"

"Actually... I have something I want you to help me with..." Li Zhiyuan was very embarrassed.

"What?"

"There is a demon king over there in Wutan, killing countless people. Let's go kill it together!"

"Oh... Then there's no need to go!" Lin Su said: "If you go back now, you might be able to catch a bowl of soup..."

Lin Su suddenly appeared. Li Zhiyuan scratched his head and was a little confused. As an official, it was customary to choose not to get involved when encountering unexpected dangers. But he always felt that Lin Su was not this type, so he took the liberty to mention this. Lin Su refused the excessive request, which surprised him.

But when he returned to the settlement, saw the several-kilogram big black fish at the entrance of the village, and listened to the villagers telling the story of last night vividly, Li Zhiyuan finally understood the meaning of Lin Su's words just now: You go back now, Just in time for a bowl of soup!

He is not afraid of trouble.

He had killed the demon king that had been causing trouble for many years last night!

This was originally his responsibility, Li Zhiyuan, because he went out from here and all his relatives were here. He couldn't do it, but he only came here once and he did it!

And after meeting him, he didn’t even mention it!

In an instant, Comrade Li, who had long been disillusioned in the officialdom, felt hot in his heart.

If Lin Su were here right now, he might be impulsive and open the last jar of white clouds under the bed...

In the next three days, Lin Su escaped from everyone's sight. He wore scholar's clothes and walked in the standard scholar's steps through the streets and alleys of Beichuan. It must be admitted that Beichuan is the land of fruits, pears, Peaches were placed at various intersections in Beichuan. He had tasted every kind and they all tasted pretty good.

These fruits are all specialties of Yuping Mountain, which means that every fruit he eats is a gift to the Zhao family.

These fruits are also available in the capital, but they are extremely expensive because of the long distance. Although long-distance transportation of fresh fruits is not a big problem here, the cost is also high enough. For example, a strange crystal from the demon clan can turn the cabin into a It is a frozen warehouse, but that kind of ship itself is very costly. If it is used to transport fresh fruits, the price of fresh fruits is still high?

The Zhao family's fruit industry is actually just a subsidiary. His most important industry is wine.

Yuping wine was a wine received by officials. Before Lin Su developed distilled wine, wine dominated the world.

At present, the wine used by officials in the thirteen states in the south is basically Yuping wine. The "Haitianzhou" business is responsible for the operation - Haitianzhou, Lin Su is very familiar with it. It is a very influential business in the south, and the Zhao family is its largest shareholder. shareholder.

Yuping wine is a custom made by the officialdom. The grassroots yamen do not have to pay for it, and the Ministry of Household Affairs pays the final settlement.

The grassroots government agencies like it. Anyway, they don’t have to pay for it themselves.

I don't know whether Hu Bu likes Lin Su or not. Anyway, what they paid was not their own money.

But he knew there was one person he must like, and that was Zhao Xun.

Public procurement has always been the most profitable, no matter what era.

In such public procurement, every link along the line has interests. Zhao Xun may also be able to rely on this chain of interests to achieve his officialdom binding.

What's the saying?

There are three strong ties in life: those who have carried guns together, those who have visited prostitutes together, and those who have shared stolen goods together.

Among the three major irons, dividing the spoils is the biggest iron!

In the evening, Lin Su would return to the small inn where he was. He didn't seem to know that the guy below was the Zhao family's dog. He also didn't seem to see the several policemen following him when he was walking on the street. Quick, he behaves very slowly and is very friendly to the guys.

But after entering the room, his face looked a little gloomy.

Zhou Mei, who was floating in the air, was still inciting: It was just a matter of sending someone to follow him, but the person he sent turned out to be a police officer from the yamen. Is this the yamen of Zeng Shigui or the yamen of the Zhao family?

Lin Su smiled: "Don't you think you'll lose your standing by arguing with a bunch of low-life people?"

"No..." Zhou Mei said, "I feel a little sorry for Zeng Shigui inexplicably. He is so miserable as a county magistrate!"

"Don't worry! Since I intervened, I will soon..." His voice stopped abruptly.

Zhou Mei glanced out the window, and there was a flash of light in her eyes: "Maybe the turning point has arrived, the two of them actually came together..."

As soon as the voice fell, her figure disappeared.

Chichi, two figures landed on the window sill, it was Zeng Shigui and Li Zhiyuan.

There was joy on both of their faces.

"Lord Lin!" Li Zhiyuan said: "We found it! Twenty-four years ago, Yuyu Villa sent the eldest son of the Villa out of Yuping Mountain in advance. This man has been verified by many parties and is currently a monk in Mount Wutai."

"This person's Buddha name is Shanji. He is an eminent monk of the Jinguang Temple in Mount Wutai. He is worthy of being a master and a brother. He has a very high status in the temple. He lectures on scriptures and explains the Dharma. Even people from the capital make a special trip there."

"Okay! I will set off immediately to visit this eminent monk." Lin Su said.

He was about to rise into the air when Li Zhiyuan's voice came from behind him: "Master Lin..."

Lin Su turned around.

Li Zhiyuan said: "Mr. Lin, you killed the Wutan Demon King three days ago. The folks asked me to thank you."

"You're the one who's going to thank the folks when they ask you to thank them? What about you? You're not going to thank me?"

"That's natural..."

Lin Su was very interested: "How do you plan to thank me? Do you want to treat me?"

Li Zhiyuan's face was very troubled: "There is no need to treat me... You can come to my house for a meal someday."

Holy shit! I asked you to treat me to a guest, but you said it was exempt. Is there any lower limit for your emotional intelligence? Perhaps, this is not a matter of emotional intelligence, but his stinginess, which goes deep into his bones...

Lin Su sighed deeply: "Old Li, Old Li, one day I will definitely get rid of your stingy habit!"

Li Zhiyuan glanced at him: "Do you think I am willing to be stingy? If you want to get rid of my problem, you should take money."

Lin Su was speechless, Zeng Shigui burst out laughing, and finally, all three of them laughed...

The wind blew thousands of miles, and Lin Su broke through the air and flew away.

The next moment, he swept across thousands of miles of Dongting.

On the south side of Dongting Lake, there is a high mountain shaped like a giant Buddha sitting cross-legged. The quiet lake seems to have Buddha nature and suddenly becomes extremely peaceful.

A Zen bell rings, a few birds fly high, and the chirping of cicadas in summer is instantly silenced. It’s not that they haven’t chirped, but that you can no longer hear the chirping. Only the wisp of the bell penetrates your eardrums and penetrates your heart. .

"Wutai Mountain, Jinguang Temple, has an extraordinary status in Buddhism." A voice came next to his ear. Naturally, it was his portable plug-in, Little Witch Zhou.

She finally lost her invisibility and her true body appeared in the sun.

"You're not going to be invisible anymore?"

The tip of Zhou Mei's nose wrinkled slightly: "It's not that I don't plan, but I don't dare! If I play those tricks, I'm afraid that the monks in the temple will regard me as their enemy and accept me. What will they do?"

"Dare!" Lin Suxiong insisted, angrily: "I can only accept my little witch, who else dares to accept her?"

Alas? There was no movement behind her. Lin Su turned around, and Zhou Mei gritted her teeth: "Second warning, don't call me little witch! Otherwise..."

"How else?"

"Otherwise, I will show you the real devil..."
