Chapter 51 Visiting the Magistrate's Office at Night (1)

Mei Shinan snorted and said, "Come on, don't say that, the world...that's what, oh, it's like a black pig. If it weren't for the three Yin people who died, the county magistrate wouldn't even take care of it, and just put it in the mortal hall, and why would he worship it?"

Zhu Qingsheng said strangely: "Why, you have even been worshipped?"

Mei Shi said: "Of course this is it. The county magistrate was so scared that he lost his soul. He looked even more solemn than the father who served the dead."

"What's wrong with those three Yin people? Is identity very important?" Zhu Qingsheng was puzzled.

Mei Shi looked at him ugly, and felt more and more that he had come from the deep mountains and forests. He looked around and said, "This is not a place to talk. Come with me, let's talk while walking."

When she walked into an alley, there was no one around. Mei Shinan said while walking, "I'll ask you, who is the biggest in the world?"

Zhu Qingsheng didn't expect that he would suddenly ask this. He is a Taoist, so he should answer this question. Of course, he has to talk about the ancestor of the Three Qingshu, but the ancestor of the Three Qingshu is just a legend and no one has seen it with his own eyes. Who is the biggest in the world now? Of course, it is the Nine Dragon Emperor who lives in the palace. He said immediately: "That's naturally the emperor, what's wrong?"

"No, I'll ask you again, who is the biggest under the emperor?"

"Of course it's the prime minister. After all, it's under one person and above ten thousand people."

"Bah, have you really come from the mountains? After we came from Taizu, there is no prime minister?"

Zhu Qingsheng was shocked. He knew very little about the officialdom, and most of them heard from Mr. Storyteller. Unexpectedly, there was no prime minister in this dynasty. After thinking for a long time, he said tentatively: "Is it a great scholar?"

Mei Shinan shook her head.

"Or it's the general?"

Mei Shinan shook her head again.

"Those are the six ministers?"

"Are you mistaken? Those are six people, and their power is average, so how can you say that you are a higher level?" Mei Shinan said impatiently.

When Zhu Qingsheng saw that he said one wrong and the other was wrong, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and said, "Then I can't guess it, you can tell me quickly."

Mei Shi couldn't see that there was no one around, so she lowered her voice and leaned against Zhu Qingsheng's ear and said, "It's those eunuchs, those yin people who have no eggs."

Zhu Qingsheng was both surprised and puzzled, and said, "How could it be them? These people are not in power."

Mei Shi said: "It doesn't matter if they don't take power, but they will start to have power when they are stuck around power all night. Look at them serving the emperor and the queen mother all day long, and the empress and concubines. As long as they are happy to serve, the emperor likes it, will they become successful? Besides, there are other east factories and west factories, how can these Yin people not be in power?"

Mei Shinan lowered his voice and continued, "Among these Yin people, it is said that Eunuch Yang has the greatest power. He is in charge of the East and West factories. Even the first-rank ministers have to take a detour when they see him. Isn't that the only one person or ten thousand people?"

Zhu Qingsheng immediately understood and said, "Even if this is the case, there is no need for the county magistrate to do this. He even enshrines the body, and it is not his murder."

Mei Shinan sighed. Now he was completely sure that Zhu Qingsheng had just come out of the deep mountains and forests, and said, "Are you really stupid or fake stupid? These three Yin people died within his jurisdiction. If the county magistrate did not do anything to repent, how could he let his superiors see it?"

Zhu Qingsheng nodded and suddenly remembered that the county magistrate from Jiujiang City was particularly flattered. He said casually: "The three Yin people must be very high, otherwise the county magistrate would not have to be so worried."

"Tsk, those three yin men dressed as wealthy businessmen, look weird. If someone hadn't found a sign from the East Factory after the body was found, no one would have found it."

When Zhu Qingsheng heard the "rich businessman", he suddenly felt very familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he was shocked. He suddenly remembered the words "Three rich businessmen with fair faces" that night in Loujiaji, with fair faces and rich businessmen. They all match the characteristics of these three eunuchs. Could it be that these three eunuchs were the rich businessmen who recruited locals to guide the way in Loujiaji that night?

Why did they pretend to be rich businessmen? How could they die by the river? What happened in the middle?

Mei Shinan said while walking: "Originally, he found out that there were three yin men without eggs, which scared the county magistrate. But then he found a waist card from the East Factory. Oh, he couldn't sleep. He treated the three corpses like their own father..." As he said that, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and Zhu Qingsheng disappeared.

He looked back and saw Zhu Qingsheng falling three feet behind him was stunned and shouting: "I said you boy, you still want to eat something good tonight, so hurry up and leave."

Zhu Qingsheng woke up and said, "What good thing?"

Mei Shi said: "It's the good things from Dingxianglou. Every night they will put the remaining things outside, such as desserts, fish, and things that customers can't eat. In the past, there were several bastards blocking there, but I couldn't grab them. Now it's easy to have you. This time, we will join forces and we will definitely grab them."

Zhu Qingsheng didn't know whether it was joy or bitterness. It seemed that Mei Shinan really regarded him as a beggar with him. Seeing that he said anything to him, he really felt a little fond of him. When he was fine, he couldn't really help Mei Shinan. However, after hearing about the three eunuchs floating on the river, he always felt a little uneasy, which made him feel a little breathless.

Zhu Qingsheng remembered the words of the old man Lou Kangcheng. Those three wealthy businessmen might be these three eunuchs who recruited some locals to go to the river to find treasure, but since they left, there was no news. Only a crazy Lou Yun came back, grabbed a red veil and said something randomly, and died soon after. None of the people who went to the river to find treasure came back.

What were the three wealthy businessmen looking for? What happened later that they did not come back? Are the three wealthy businessmen dressed as eunuchs, or were they deliberately pretending to be like this after someone killed them?

Mysteries came one by one, and Zhu Qingsheng felt his brain hurt. He had to start from the source to solve the problem. It seemed that he had to start from the body of three eunuchs.

Zhu Qingsheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Well, do you know where the bodies of those three eunuchs are?"

Mei Shinan blurted out: "Now it is placed at the home of the county magistrate. Everyone here knows that the county magistrate is not unlucky..." Suddenly, he saw Zhu Qingsheng's thoughtful expression, and was shocked and said: "You are not going to see those three corpses, are you?"

When Zhu Qingsheng saw this, he didn't have to hide it from him, and nodded and said, "I always feel something is wrong. I want to see if there is anything on them."

He thought that Mei Shinan would be blocked or frightened, but he didn't expect that Mei Shinan would be happy and said hurriedly: "Can you make money? I'm going too."

Zhu Qingsheng was stunned and had to nod, "That's right."

Mei Shi said happily: "Okay, I'll be with you in this matter. Anyway, those three eunuchs are dead, and no matter how good things are, we little beggars are, just so cheap." After a pause, he continued: "Don't say, you really need me. I've gotten familiar with this area and can walk with my eyes closed. It's much better than you, the person who ran out of the deep mountains and forests."

Zhu Qingsheng thought, this is true. He just came here and was not familiar with the place. If he rashly went to the county magistrate's mansion, there would be some trouble. Now that there is a hard time with Mei Shi, it is much more convenient. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Mei Shinan was about to nod, but shook her head again: "This matter is OK, but you have to do me a favor first."

"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, and it's not a bad thing."

"Tsk, am I like the kind of person who does bad things? It's just... I'm hungry and can't run. You have to help me first."

The two right palms clapped each other and made a crisp sound, "Trade!"
