"Yes! That's the heart of the Demon Emperor. If it's obtained by those who have thoughts, it's a lifetime of power and wealth. How can those mortals not be moved?"

"Do you think the county master will tell others about the Demon Emperor's heart? If everyone knows it, can the Demon Emperor's heart still belong to the county master?"

"That's right, but why is the county master capable of finding so many helpers? And these people don't look like they know what the heart of the Demon Emperor is, which is too strange."

"Forget it, we can't guess what we can guess here. We'd better wait until Xiaobai catches the person back before asking about the situation."

After Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong finished talking, he no longer wasted his brains, and Xiaobai quickly captured the officers and soldiers' leaders. Fortunately, he did not attract other people's attention along the way, otherwise it would be hard to say what happened.

"Liu Shoucai, we all guessed wrongly, damn, we were framed..."

Xiaobai had turned into the Blue Fire God Owl at this time. It was holding the collar of the officer and soldier leader, and the officer and soldier leader had already fainted at this time. After Xiaobai ran over, he immediately started shouting. Guigusong was very annoyed and blocked Xiaobai's mouth.

"Okay, we know, you can shut up, it's really noisy."

Guigusong's unhappy eyes made Xiaobai feel aggrieved, but seeing that Liu Shoucai and Badou Lao San had no intention of helping him, Xiaobai was too lazy to pretend to be wronged and threw the officer and soldier leader to the ground.

"Ouch..."

Because Xiaobai tried too hard, the officer and soldier leader immediately made a painful sound as soon as he was thrown to the ground. As the officer and soldier leader woke up, Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong also surrounded him, which was also to prevent him from escaping.

"Dangerous, do you know your crime when kidnapped the imperial officials?"

The officers and soldiers did not know the identity of Liu Shoucai and his group. Because the portraits he drew during the pursuit were different from those of him, he did not recognize Liu Shoucai for a while.

"Haha... I know the guilt? I really don't know what crime I have committed, but I actually asked you to catch me with all my might. I said, "Sir, you can tell us clearly! Otherwise, I will feel tired if we have been tracked down by you."

"You are... it's you, okay! I can finally capture you. You bold thieves dare to harm the imperial officials..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking! You just want to think about us alone, and we have not attacked you yet. At most, we will ask you without your consent. Where is it called a traitor to the court?"

"You are not guilty yet. Are you the county masters who are you cruel?"

"Mr. County Master? Why did we harm him? He said there was a female ghost on the mountain and asked us to catch the ghost. We went, and then he rested in his county government for a while before leaving. What did he harm him? He said that his father's heart was dug up by the female ghost. We found it for him. He said that it was not the one, and then he went to find it on the mountain. We had already left the town when he was on the mountain. How could we harm him? I think you are crazy, right?"

After Liu Shoucai made the officer and soldier leader wonder, because Liu Shoucai and the others were already away from the town, and it was impossible to harm the county master at this speed. Also, why did the county master get on the throne as soon as the county master died?

Then there was a concubine next to the master who was the concubine of the dead county master. All these reasons pointed to the master and the concubine. Even if the officer and soldier leader was idiot, he thought of the key to this, but he could not be distracted in front of Liu Shoucai now.

"If you really don't have the lord of the county, why run away when you see us?"

"Nonsense, you officers and soldiers arrest people. How can we not run away when we see them? We have never done anything bad, so you just arrest us casually. Of course, we think you are malicious. Who is stupid and still waiting for you to arrest you. Go and ask the people in the village. If they were arrested for no reason, would you say they could stand there and wait for you to arrest?"

Liu Shoucai looked like you were an idiot, and the officers and soldiers were flushed. He was a little embarrassed by Liu Shoucai. In fact, he had doubts when he sent someone to follow him, but because he was too anxious and didn't think much about it, so he caused so many misunderstandings.

"I'm so sorry. We didn't investigate clearly. But when we heard that the county master was killed, we were anxious, so we followed you. Let's do this! Since you, Master, have not harmed the county master, then go back and be a witness with us?"

"Witness? Do you know who harmed the county master?"

"I'm not sure, but I suspect it has something to do with the current county master and concubine."

"The current county master and concubine? Why is this?"

Liu Shoucai looked puzzled. He didn't know that the current county master was the former master, nor did he know that the current county master's concubine was the concubine of the predecessor.

"The current county master is the magistrate of the former county master who was murdered, and he is also the most trusted person of the county master. The current concubine of the master is the magistrate of the former county master. Now they have gotten together and the master has also taken office. This makes people doubt it. Besides, the one who killed the county master is also from the mouths of the two of them. I think they most probably want to add their sins to you and want you to be scapegoats."

"Damn it, I didn't expect that the two of them would dare to have such courage. Sir, you know, we are all so far from that town, how could we run so fast after harming the adults? And after the county master brought people to the mountain, we left the town directly. At that time, the residents near the city gate saw us and could testify to us."

"It seems that I was blinded by those two people. In this way, Master, you come back with me and I will help you clear your grievances. Those two people will not let them live."

The officers and soldiers were angry. I guess they were unwilling to accept it because they thought that they were fooled by others and even acted so ridiculously!

"Since lord is willing to help us clear our grievances, then let's go with us."

Liu Shoucai also knew that it was not a solution for them to escape like this, and now there was a way to clear the grievances, so how could he let them go? He also wanted to meet the master and Fang family. The Fang family and the master were too much and actually framed the charge of murder on him. Liu Shoucai was not so kind to let those two people go.

Just after the persuasion of the officers and soldiers, Liu Shoucai and his group went back again. After returning to the town, Liu Shoucai asked the officers and soldiers to find the witnesses who had left at that time. After asking clearly, the officers and soldiers also knew that Liu Shoucai and the others were wronged.

"Master, I really wronged you this time. After those two guys are dealt with, I will definitely invite you to drink well. I know that there is a restaurant in this town that is very good."

The officers and soldiers were not originally meant to be sensible, but were very honest, so Liu Shoucai immediately became a favorable person, so Liu Shoucai also agreed to his request.

"We will not return until we are drunk."

"Okay, don't go back if you don't get drunk."

The two of them came to the yamen with a joke. When the people saw Liu Shoucai, they immediately surrounded him. Of course, Gui Gusong and the others did not escape the fate of being surrounded.

"Retreat and retreat to this general."

"General Dou, they are all criminals, don't be careless."

"Criminals? Why don't I know they are criminals? Call your county master and his current concubine over. I want to see who is the real criminal."

Liu Shoucai did not expect that the officer and soldier leader was actually a general, and his momentum was obviously much larger than the county master's official position. Otherwise, how could he have acted like this? This made Liu Shoucai immediately glance at General Dou.

"Master, please come inside."

General Dou was familiar with Liu Shoucai along the way, so he naturally saw the character of Liu Shoucai and others. People like Liu Shoucai would definitely not harm the county magistrate, so he knew that there were other reasons, so he planned to argue for Liu Shoucai and others.

Soon the county master and Fang were brought over. When they saw Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong, they immediately pretended to be gritting their teeth.

"You murderers dare to stand there without any scruples, and not kneel down for me."

"Rareless, I am here, is there any reason why your county master shouts here?"

"Yo, General Dou, I'm so sorry. The lower official lost control because he saw the murderer who killed the former county master. I hope the general will forgive him."

"Hmph! When did you see Master Liu killing his former county master? This general has asked someone just now. At that time, you and Fang were the first to discover that the county master died. Moreover, those who were guarding outside the county master's room before said that after Master Liu and his friends left the town, the county master returned home, and the body was the first to discover by you two. Please explain this first! Master Liu and the others are no longer in the town, so how can they kill the county master?"

"This... General, don't be deceived by them. Maybe they turned around and came back and killed the county master again?"

"Hmph! I see you don't cry until you see the coffin. Come and pass on witnesses."

Soon the yamen runner brought the witness who saw Liu Shoucai and his gang leave. As soon as the man came, he told General Dou and the people present what he saw, and also swore that after Liu Shoucai and the others left, they did not return with General Dou until today.

"I found Master Liu in Shiliting. I don't need to say how far the Shiliting is here. I believe you know, the county master, too! If Master Liu and the others have really come back, why haven't the people who open the city gate seen it? And how could people living nearby have never seen it? There is only one road to enter the city. Could it be that they can still fly all the way in?"

General Dou's words made the county master and Fang family extremely nervous. At this time, they were afraid that General Dou would put the crime of murder on them. After all, they were the first to discover that the county master died tragically. If they had known that things would have evolved to this point, they would not have asked anyone to arrest Liu Shoucai and the others.

"Oh! General! Xiaguan was also confused at the beginning, so he mistakenly thought that Master Liu had harmed the Lord, and the Lord also asked Xiaguan to capture Master Liu and the others at the beginning."

"Oh? Why is this? Why do you lords ask someone to capture Master Liu and the others?"

"Because Lord Liu and his friends stole their father's heart, so they were asked to capture it."

"Is that true of Master Liu?"

Although General Dou didn't believe what the county master said, he turned to ask Liu Shoucai, hoping that Liu Shoucai could give him an explanation.

"The general is wronged! When we were catching ghosts on the mountain, we saw a box on the table. After opening it, we saw the heart in the box. Then we planned to bring it back and ask who was killed. Who knew that as soon as we took it back, the county master said it was his father's, and we returned it to him directly. Where is there any other thing to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix? It's just a heart. What do we want to do? And it's not the heart of our relatives."

Liu Shoucai looked sincere, and General Dou believed it, so he immediately looked at the county master and Fang again.

"The heart of your county's father? By the way, when your county's father was buried, I was present. Where did you see his father's heart being dug? Moreover, his father has been dead for so many years. Even if his heart was dug later, it would not be possible to be preserved until now. It has long turned into a pool of rotten water. Do you really think that this general is a three-year-old child? Tell me, why did your county's father ask someone to arrest Master Liu and the others?"

General Dou's face was so vicious that the county master was so weak that his legs were weak and he knelt directly on the ground.

"General! What the officials said are the truth. If you don't believe it, you can ask the yamen runners present, they were all present at the beginning."

As the county master showed weakness, General Dou knew that he could not scare him anymore, so as not to be scared to death, and he would be in trouble at that time.

"What your county master said is true?"

"Yes, General, we were all present at the beginning. That's what the county master at that time said."

"It seems that your county master is causing trouble, but he is already dead and it is not easy to investigate. Except for that matter, the county master, do you know your guilt?"

"Is the Lord... I don't know what crime I have committed?"

The county master already knew that General Dou didn't care about why Master Liu was arrested, but when he heard General Dou say that he had committed a crime, he immediately became confused.

"Hmph! I'm not sure about the crime. I'm talking about why the former county master's concubine has become your concubine now, and he is still building a house outside the government office and keeping it there. Your secret trick of spending Chen Cang is waiting for the former county master to pass the first seventh! Why can't you wait now?"

General Dou looked angry. Although he did not have much friendship with the former county master, he was a friend of his age without saying anything. Naturally, he took some care of the former county master. Now that the former county master's concubine has cuckolded him, General Dou is naturally angry.

"This... she seduced the general. I saw that she was pitiful and built a house for her. Who knew that this woman had been entangled with the officials and was wronged..."

"My surname is Ma, what are you talking nonsense? You seduced me. When the master was still there, you often touched me. If you hadn't been threatened by you, how could I have been with you..."

Both the county master and the Fang family shirked responsibility for each other. At this time, General Dou wanted to rectify the two of them on the spot at the same time, but the county master was fame and fortune, so he could not take action now.

"Rareless, in the court, you two are like shrews, what kind of morality do you have? Come and submit memorials to the prefect, remove the county magistrate from the county magistrate, and choose someone else to take office. Fang is suppressed to the prison, wait for the detention, and take them all down."

"mighty……"

Following the shouts of the yamen runners, the county master and Fang were taken down while crying, and Liu Shoucai and his friends were also washed away. Although Liu Shoucai was not much happy about this, he could at least see that General Dou was a good person, so from this aspect, Liu Shoucai also planned to make friends with General Dou.

After all, in this era, Liu Shoucai had no friends, and now he is very happy with one more friend.

"General Dou, thank you this time."

"Well, why are you polite? It is also the responsibility of this general. Moreover, the officials under this general are wronged. This general has the responsibility to clear them."

"The general is really generous. Most people will protect their own people, and only the generals protect us ordinary people."

"Oh! It's a pity that there are not many officials protecting the people! Otherwise, I wouldn't be so tired. In fact, I have been excluded in the court. This is also the reason why I don't like to go back. I would rather wander outside all the time."

General Dou's face became sad as he spoke. Liu Shoucai also knew why General Dou was in the suburbs. It turned out that General Dou didn't like to go back to be an official, so he wandered around outside. It was precisely because General Dou didn't like to go back to be an official, and it was precisely because of this that they met.

"General, your fortune is actually behind. Although there are many borers in the court now, it won't take long to get all those borers cleaned up."

"Master, may you really be able to see the face?"

General Dou distrusts the matter of catching ghosts. He has never seen ghosts, so naturally he does not believe in ghosts. He thinks it is just a ghost in human heart. General Dou doesn't believe Liu Shoucai's identity as a stranger in the world, but he is very concerned about Liu Shoucai's character.

"General, don't disbelief, or I'll help you read the divination first. If you believe it or not, you will have a clear idea in your heart. Anyway, I don't want you, and you won't suffer any loss."

"Okay, just do it!"

General Dou didn't care. Regardless of whether Liu Shoucai was a liar or not, General Dou planned to make this friend, because Liu Shoucai was very good at talking to him. General Dou had always been very upright, so he didn't have many friends, so he naturally cared about Liu Shoucai, a friend.
