"According to the Ming Dynasty, the rewarder can take away the bounty as long as he gives the head, the body or all evidence that can prove that the criminal is dead! Is that true? Magistrate!" Ling Xiao turned over the body that was stripped naked in Tian and said lightly.

The magistrate said a little embarrassedly: "This, the Ming Dynasty's law does stipulate this! But..."

"This corpse was handed over by the son of the village woman, right?" Ling Xiao said again, but this time he raised Tian and stripped naked on the back of his head. There was a piece of obvious bruise hidden under his thick hair and it was difficult to find.

Looking at Ling Xiao ruthlessly, how could he think of an autopsy?

The magistrate looked bitter and wanted to deny it, but he looked at the glaring expressions of Chen Lian and the other two, and his heart trembled, "Uh, it's the son of the village woman who discovered it. The subordinates were about to report it truthfully. Once the bounty was approved, they would be handed over to her!"

Ling Xiao lowered the body again, "This body was sent yesterday. According to regulations, such matters are paid in advance by local financial funds before applying for rewards. You should have given her the silver yesterday. Could it be that the entire town has no more than 3,000 taels of silver? Hey! Could it be that the magistrate secretly embezzled it!"

Ling Xiao seemed to find Professor Du's expression, which made everyone laugh, and the magistrate couldn't help laughing. To put it bluntly, he would take it all, and he would secretly deduct some points through some people-friendly projects, or temporarily misappropriate investment in real estate, and then fill in the gaps when the funds were returned. He was already familiar with this kind of thing, and even if other officials knew about it, they would not care, because everyone did this. But in the end, this is a violation of the Ming Dynasty's laws. The magistrate was just used by the magistrate for him not long ago. If he wanted to give the bounty to the village woman, he really couldn't get it out! In the face of danger, the master came up with the idea of ​​greed for the bounty, and the magistrate did this with a delusion. Now that the matter is revealed, he really doesn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing the magistrate's face dark and sad look, Ling Xiao patted the magistrate's shoulder with a hilarious look, "Don't be so nervous. There are so many projects that the town needs to build, and it is not a big deal to occasionally lack funds. However, the village women always have to give silver rewards. So, is three days enough?"

The magistrate was happy and looked at Ling Xiao's unprecedented cuteness, "Enough! Enough! Must be enough! I will definitely give her the bounty within three days!" The magistrate said hurriedly, afraid that he would regret it.

The village woman on the side was excited to hear this and bowed to Ling Xiao repeatedly, "Thank you sir! Thank you sir! Thank you for your grace!"

Ling Xiaole said, "Okay, go back and wait for the letter. The magistrate will send someone to give you the money within three days."

"Sir, thank you! Thank you! The private woman is going back now, thank you for your great kindness!" The village woman was excited and tears were filled with tears.

Ling Xiao turned his head and looked at the magistrate and said, "As a parent official, it is the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the people, especially those civilians with a lot of money. If something happens to this woman's family, it will be the responsibility of the magistrate!"

The magistrate was shocked and hurriedly bowed, "What the lord said is, the subordinates promise that there will be no accidents in them!"

Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "I don't want to care about other things anymore, let the three of them discuss with you!" After that, he handed over the letter he had already written to Chen Lian.

The magistrate respectfully led the three of them into the inner yard, but Ling Xiao and Wuqing remained in the front yard.

"Will the magistrate greedy for public funds and let him go so simply?" Wuqing asked.

Ling Xiao shook his head and said helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to arrest all the corrupt officials in the world? You just look at things that don't just look at the surface. Everyone is greedy, and I am greedy too! But the key is whether you can keep the bottom line! Along the way, there is not even a single soul on the street, and you can see the prosperity of the people. Everything shows that this magistrate is still very capable."

"So you won't arrest him? What if he doesn't change his skills in the future?" Wuqing frowned.

"Although he crossed the bottom line this time, he only drove the woman away. Finally, there are still some people to save. I have given him a chance now, it depends on whether he can change it! If he doesn't change his nature, then it won't be blamed!" Ling Xiao shrugged.

This is the truth. The magistrate has a conscience. If it were someone who was a little bit unfaithful, the woman and her son would have been buried in an unknown grave!

Wuqing nodded and asked again, "Then where did you see something wrong with this corpse?"

"It's very simple! Since the village woman's son does not know martial arts, it is impossible for him to kill Tian Baguang. You don't really think that this guy is so stupid that he hits the sword blade himself!" Ling Xiao kicked Tian Baguang's body casually, and then said: "The fat man's head has a large bruise, which should be caused by someone hitting a heavy object. This heavy object should be a hidden weapon, otherwise it would be seen by the village woman's son."

Wuqing stepped forward and checked carefully, "From the traces, it should be large-scale hidden weapons such as locust stones or iron gallbladders! The person who made the move is a master and has a very accurate grasp of strength! He will not take Tian Baoguang's life and can change his actions, so he bumped into the sword of the village woman's son!"

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement, "It should be that way, but I want to know more about why the village woman's son has a sword in his hand?"

...

The town is located on the edge of the suburbs. Although the quality of the people is not as high as that of the capital, people in the martial arts world will not make a fuss when they see swords and swords! At best, they take a few curious glances, and they must return to normal before they discover it, so as not to cause trouble for themselves.

At this moment, there were a few gray-clad men in a tea shed on the side of the road chatting and fucking leisurely. The owner of the tea shed, following the principle that it is better to have less than more things. After putting in two pots of tea, he automatically disappeared!

"Boss! That girl is so good at making trouble! If you don't treat the princess, you have to come out to be a female hero!" A man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek and a flattering face complained.

Among the men in gray, there was a fat middle-aged man sitting in a big golden sword. The fat man also looked entangled, "Who said no! Young people nowadays! They treat themselves as heroes with a sword, so I dare to fly to the sky with a broom!"

Another person was diligently pouring tea for the fat man, "The iron-hard kung fu from yesterday really opened my eyes! Brothers are all impressed by it!"

"Yes! Yes!" Everyone hurriedly said yes, with their faces and expressions solemnly!

Unexpectedly, the fat man was displeased and said bitterly: "That little aunt is so capable of causing trouble! If Eunuch Cao had not given the death order, I wouldn't care!"

Everyone was shocked and confused, "Boss, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this? Could it be that what we did was discovered!"

The fat man sighed and said, "It's nothing if this is true. At worst, it's just that secret protection will turn into open tracking! But she actually went to provoke Tian Baoguang!"

"What's wrong with the stripping of this field? Isn't it just a wanted criminal? We helped him kill him with six doors. The four famous arrestees have to thank us!" a man in gray said proudly.

"That's it! That's it!" everyone agreed.

The fat man slapped the man in the back of the head, and said with a grudge: "You know what's the matter! I usually ask you to pay more attention to the news in the world, but you just don't listen! I just know that running to Huixianyaxu, is that the place you should go? How much is your salary! Don't think of lent you money in the future!"

The man in gray covered the back of his head with a bitter face begging for mercy: "Don't let it go! Head, is there any other reason why Tian Baoguang has the best result?"

The fat man snorted coldly, "He has no background, but his sister has a background!"

"His sister?"

"Yes, have you heard of Shennong Cult?" The fat man looked at everyone and asked.

"No! Is it very powerful? Which big sect?" asked a man in gray.

"The nameless sect, there are only four people in the entire sect including Ueda stripping them!" said the fat man lightly.

Everyone was very happy when they heard this, "Hey, I'm just a nameless little sect, what's so scary! She wants to come, and those brothers will fuck his sister!"

"That's right! Fuck his sister! Hahaha!" Everyone cheered!

These unscrupulous swear words made pedestrians on the roadside look at each other. If it weren't for the Internet, they would have called the police by phone!

The fat man's mouth twitched, "It's so numb! Can't you wait for me to finish my words?"

Everyone choked up, "You said!"

"This Shennong Cult is just a cover-up. Except for Tian Baoguang, the other three are all women, namely Red Phoenix, Pink Phoenix and Blue Phoenix!" The fat man said solemnly.

"What a red bird and blue cat! It's not a tongue twister!" a man in gray said with a lipstick.

The fat man said again: "This red phoenix and pink phoenix are indeed not worth worrying about, but the blue phoenix has a great background!" After saying that, he paused, and saw that his subordinates looked at him curiously, and said: "The blue phoenix is ​​not the name of a person, but the general name of a kind of person!"

"What kind of people?"

"The Poison Refining Elder of the Five Poison Sect... Candidate!"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they all jumped in their hearts. It took a while before they could digest the amazing information!

The fat man looked around and said proudly: "I'm afraid! Otherwise, why did I do such a lot of effort to launch a sneak attack? Isn't it just that Blue Phoenix comes to us? Now that there is that little shoemaker who is used as a shield for us, you won't even know how to die!"

"Head! We are so impressed by you!" Everyone hurriedly flattered.

The fat man narrowed his eyes and enjoyed it, and continued with great interest: "Today I am happy, let you gain insights! The Five Poisons Sect is a major sect in Miaojiang, and its power is spread throughout the Miao area! There are multiple major branches in its sect, including poison refining, raising poison, and refining weapons. People in the Five Poisons Sect have no concept of good and evil, and everything is supreme! Their slogan is that whoever offends the Five Poisons Sect will die without a complete corpse! Lan Fenghuang is the candidate for the elders of the poison refining lineage!"

The man in gray next to him suddenly said, "No wonder that Tian is so arrogant when he stripped naked. As a wanted criminal, he actually swayed in broad daylight!"

The fat man nodded and said, "Who said it was not! Every time this field is stripped away, it will be misled by his wife and daughter. Even many daughters of the imperial court ordered the officials to be killed! But everyone was afraid of the forces behind it, so they had to drive him away! But this field is not a reckless person. When he heard that a master was dispatched, he would escape when he heard the sound. He crossed several provinces like this but was still free and easy!"

"In this way, isn't the wanted order for those six doors a decoration?" a man in gray exclaimed.

The fat man looked at him with a funny look and said, "If you have a tough backstage, the purpose of the wanted order is to remind others of your level of danger! If you are just a little bastard, the wanted order is equivalent to sentenceing you to death! Of course, all this does not apply in the capital. Even if you are Zhang Zhenren from Wudang behind you, someone will come to arrest you if you commit a crime in the capital. As for whether to arrest it or not, it is another matter!"

The man in gray next to him suddenly said worriedly: "Head, that Blue Phoenix won't cause trouble for that aunt, right?"

The fat man was stunned, "This... I really didn't think about it, but I heard that Lan Fenghuang is the most unreasonable! Maybe she would take her anger on her. No, I have to find the little shoemaker. I have to seal his mouth and not give up the aunt!" As he said that, he was about to get up.

The men in gray shouted with bitter faces: "Oh my God! When will this day be the end? We can't wipe her ass for the rest of our lives, right?"

The fat man shook his head and said, "It's okay. Although this girl has no brains in doing things, she has a deep opportunity and actually joined the Emei Sect not long ago! As long as we escort her into Shu, everything will be fine. With the strength of the Emei Sect, the Five Poison Sect dare not be arrogant there!"

...

"Sir, the matter has been done!" Shen Lian replied respectfully.

"Well, you guys can move freely! By the way, when Zhao Jingzhong is arrested, remember to examine it carefully. Maybe some serious crimes such as treason and collude with the enemy!" Ling Xiao said casually.

Shen Lian didn't understand how sharp he was. As expected, he had a word of official, and he could do whatever you said! Shen Lian, who worked hard and was honest, naturally could not understand the connotation of Ling Xiao's words!

After leaving the yamen, Ling Xiao said goodbye to the three of them and walked slowly towards the inn with Wuruthlessness. Without the three followers of Jinyiwei, the eyes of passers-by were no longer so strange, and the two returned to their previous silent and peaceful atmosphere.

"What do you plan to do about the Ji family?" Wuqing asked lightly after a while.

"The Ji family shouldn't take me seriously, otherwise they wouldn't have dealt with those people in the martial arts world! It should be that I was a little close to Ji Xiaoming, which aroused their dissatisfaction. But I killed Wei Zhongxian, to some extent, slapped them in the face! If what I expected was not bad, I believe that when they learned the news, I will send someone to me!" Ling Xiao thought about it and analyzed.

"Aren't you afraid? I've heard about the Ji family from my husband. If they do their best, even Hua Manlou will not be able to protect you!" Wuqing asked again.

Ling Xiao heard this and said with a smile: "Oh! Are you caring about me?"

"No, I just don't want to complete the task!" Wuqing said coldly.

Ling Xiaolei said, "Don't worry, as a big villain, you must first let some funny guys come over to upgrade the protagonist! Even if Hua Manlou doesn't take action, I can deal with it!"

Sometimes it is difficult for Wuqing to understand Ling Xiao’s thinking, but she often sees through people’s hearts and is very good at understanding the profound meanings of others’ words. “I hope the facts can be as optimistic as you think!”

Ling Xiao smiled and said nothing, and the two continued to move forward.

At the same time, the men in gray also came to the little shoemaker's house, but they only saw an empty room.

...

"Yeah!" Foyin put his hands together.

"Yeah!" Li Yingqiong bit her finger lightly.

"Yes!" Ling Xiao hugged his chest with his hands.

"Well, what's it! Only three words are not enough to make up the number of words. If you have time, think about how to go next!" Wuqing rolled his eyes and watched the three of them play tricks.

"Aren't I thinking!" Ling Xiao lay helplessly on the map. "There are two choices now. One is to return the same way. Those people in the world know that they are fooled should not be waiting there. The second is to continue our detour plan, as far as we can go. Anyway, the initiative is in our hands, so let those people eat dust behind us!"

Li Yingqiong curled her lips disdainfully, "It's a good thing they all said you are smart! Now it seems that the girl from Zhao Ben is far from being apart!"

"How can I see it?" Ling Xiao said unconvincedly.
