Section 125, The person behind the county master [Part 1]

"Master Liu, I didn't expect you to be really capable! You said everything is right. Are those really calculated by you?"

That's natural. I'm not those liars, General Dou. You can't confuse me with those people. I have a serious sect."

Liu Shoucai looked resentful, which made General Dou laugh immediately. The resentment he had in his heart also dispersed with a smile.

"Master Liu, I respect you this cup. Just based on what you said just now, I really believe in you. When the borers in the court are really cleaned up in the future, I will definitely burn incense and bow to you, Master."

"General Dou, you are too polite. I don't need any incense burning and worshiping me. At that time, the general will help me introduce some rich customers, and I can make more money."

"Hahaha... what's the problem? I'll just talk when the time comes."

General Dou's grudges were eliminated, and he naturally became cheerful. He called out to Liu Shoucai and his brothers. Liu Shoucai also had a very happy conversation with General Dou. The two of them ignored Gui Gusong and the others, and then drank on the side until General Dou got drunk.

Badou and Guigusong sat aside with a gloomy face. They really seemed to be redundant at this time, while Xiaobai and Lao San were having fun. This lively and deserted contrasting scene had nothing to do with them.

"Do you think Brother Liu will be bribed by someone named Dou like this!"

"It's obviously already bribed."

Guigusong and Badou started chatting privately, but neither of them looked at each other, but kept staring at General Dou and Liu Shoucai.

"Oh! Brother Liu is really easy to be bribed. His heart is too relaxed. Are you not afraid that that guy is a bad guy?"

"He is not a child anymore. He has his own understanding. We care about so much. Besides, did he and you don't get along well with you like this? You can understand my original mood now!"

Badou has already classified Guigu Song as the person on his side. Of course, if there were no General Dou, then Badou would still be as usual, beware of Guigu Song.

"Don't complain about you two. If you don't eat, my third brother and I will finish eating. When we go hungry, don't complain."

As soon as Xiaobai looked up, he saw Badou and Guigusong staring at Liu Shoucai and General Dou with an unhappy expression. Although it was a divine beast, it also understood what it meant, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

"What are you talking about when you eat?"

Badou glared at Xiaobai, then turned his head and continued to look at Liu Shoucai and General Dou. It seemed that as long as General Dou did anything else, he would solve General Dou.

Seeing that Badou and Guigusong ignored him, Xiaobai was too lazy to pay attention to them and continued to lower his head to eat his own food. Liu Shoucai and General Dou felt happier the more they chatted, and they felt that they met too late.

Seeing Liu Shoucai and General Dou chatting and laughing, Badou felt a little depressed, but soon he thought about it. After all, people are all species of people, so you can't be just a friend for the rest of your life! After thinking about it, Badou no longer stared at General Dou and Liu Shoucai, but just drank wine on his own.

It was not until the early morning that Liu Shoucai and General Dou said goodbye. After returning to the inn, Liu Shoucai fell asleep directly, while Badou and Guigusong and others sat on the side to chat.

"When do you think we'll leave?"

"Of course the faster the better, there is nothing to do in this place."

"Actually not. I went out when Liu Shoucai was drinking just now, but I heard a bird say that the nearby mountain was haunted again."

"Why is it haunted again? We went to that mountain before and only found one of He's family! What's going on? Xiaobai, please explain it clearly."

Guigusong immediately became interested when he heard Xiaobai's words. He couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply asked Xiaobai to explain everything clearly.

"Ah! Actually, I don't know very well. I just went out to pee and flew over my head. I heard them saying that the mountain was haunted, and it happened just now. The two birds escaped from the mountain because they were afraid."

"Why don't you stop them and ask clearly?"

"When I wanted to stop them after I urinated, they flew away long ago and didn't know where they flew. I couldn't use tracking techniques to find those two birds for questioning! This is too frustrating."

Xiaobai glared at Guigusong, and he felt that what Guigusong said was too nutritious. As the Green Fire God Owl, how could it do such an identityless thing?

"Daode, just pretend I didn't say anything. OK, let's go to the mountain first!"

"Don't you call him?"

Xiaobai pointed to Liu Shoucai who was sleeping on the bed, and Guigusong and Badou gave Xiaobai a look at each other.

"Idiot, he's drunk, how can you go? Could you carry him up the mountain?"

"Yes, let's go!"

After Xiaobai figured it out, he didn't say anything else. He followed Guigu Song and Badou Lao San to go up the mountain, but they didn't know that just after they left, Liu Shoucai sat up from the bed.

"Damn it, why are they gone?"

Liu Shoucai muttered in a daze, then got up and walked out of the door. As soon as he took it, he saw a figure swaying in front of him. Liu Shoucai recognized the man at a glance, who was the yamen runner who usually followed the county master.

"It's so strange. Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night, why are you running around everywhere?"

Liu Shoucai was curious and followed him quietly. It was not that Liu Shoucai meddled with other people's business, but that he felt that the man looked very panicked just now and was covered in black air. He could tell at a glance that it was not a good thing.

After walking with the man for about half an hour, I finally arrived at the destination, but I didn't expect that the man would actually come to Fang's house.

Seeing the yamen runner sneaking into Fang's house, Liu Shoucai immediately disappeared and followed in openly. Fang's and the county master were already jailed, but why did this yamen runner sneak here in the middle of the night? You could tell at a glance that there was something wrong.

"Damn woman, where did you hide the thing?"

The yamen runner didn't know that Liu Shoucai was next to him. He was rumbling around the house without any scruples, and muttered from time to time. Although Liu Shoucai didn't know what the yamen runner was looking for, he also understood that that thing must be extraordinary! Otherwise, how could this yamen runner come here to look for it so late, and he was carrying someone on his back.

The yamen runner searched for an hour but couldn't find what he wanted, so he immediately became discouraged. Because of his anger, he kicked all the tables and chairs in the room to the ground. Just as the table fell to the ground, a secret wall suddenly appeared.

"I'm a little bitch, I actually made a secret thought here. No wonder I can't find it."

When the yamen runner saw him secretly, he looked vicious. He didn't expect that Fang would even make him foolish, but when he thought of Fang's current fate, he laughed twice.

"Hahaha... Fang, Fang, you will never think of it in your life! I will steal that thing from my uncle."

After the yamen runner said that, he stepped into the secret passage. Liu Shoucai immediately followed him in. After entering the secret passage, he saw the secret chamber within two minutes. The secret chamber was not very large, only about ten square meters.

However, there were a lot of gold, silver and treasures in the secret room. However, the yamen runner did not look at the gold, silver and treasures a few more times, but instead flipped around the cabinet. After working for more than ten minutes, the yamen runner finally took out a box.

The yamen runner carefully opened the box, and the things inside immediately emitted a soft white light. Liu Shoucai walked over and looked at it. It turned out to be a jade seal, which surprised him very much. A small concubine actually kept the jade seal privately. Could it be that this is the former county master?

When Liu Shoucai thought that the former county master had something to do with the heart of the Demon Emperor, he figured it out that the jade seal was probably his, otherwise it would be unreasonable! Fang was just a concubine. What ability did she have to get this jade seal? The former county master died tragically. Fang should have hidden the jade seal privately because he was afraid of being exposed.

The yamen runner should be from the former county magistrate, so he also knew the origin of the jade seal, but the jade seal was hidden by Fang and he could not find it. Now that Fang has been captured, he started to think about it.

The yamen runner identified it and saw that the jade seal was real. Then he carefully put it in his arms and walked out of the secret room. However, when he turned around and wanted to leave, Liu Shoucai immediately knocked him out and took the jade seal out of the yamen runner's arms.

"How do you have this thing with you? There is no one except General Dou who can own him."

The emperor in this place has long been no longer in charge of the government affairs, and it is also chaotic outside because of this. Liu Shoucai had done a fortune telling for General Dou before and found out that he was the emperor's destiny. Now he accidentally obtained the jade seal, which also shows that he is the noble person in General Dou's destiny.

So Liu Shoucai also planned to hand over this jade seal to General Dou, and then encourage General Dou to revolt and become the king at that time. General Dou is kind and sincere to the people. Therefore, Liu Shoucai was very relieved to be the emperor, and Liu Shoucai also wanted him to be the emperor. After all, he was a big acquaintance!

If there is something in the future, it will be easier to find General Dou to solve it. After thinking about this, Liu Shoucai did not rush to leave. He moved all the jewelry in the secret room into his Qiankun bag. Anyway, the things here must be confiscated. Instead of giving them to the current court for free, it would be better to leave them to General Dou as military pay.

After cleaning up, Liu Shoucai left the secret room. As for the yamen runner, Liu Shoucai was too lazy to care about it. Anyway, he would leave here by himself after he woke up. And after he saw that all the things in this secret room had been emptied, he probably wouldn't dare to stay in this town anymore. After all, everyone understands.

Not long after Liu Shoucai left, the yamen runner woke up. When he saw that the secret room had been emptied, he looked pale and became more and more resentful to the thief. However, now he did not dare to stay here anymore, so as not to have any accidents at the time, but instead he took his own life in it.

After the yamen runner got up from the ground, he went home to pack his things and left. Liu Shoucai returned home and waited until the next morning. Gui Gusong and the others did not come back. He also communicated with Xiaobai and Badou, but they did not react at all, which made Liu Shoucai feel very bad.

"Oh, Brother Liu, why are you still here? Come with me quickly."

Just as Liu Shoucai walked out of the inn, General Dou ran over in a hurry. Since drinking last night, Liu Shoucai and General Dou have become brothers of the opposite sex. Of course, these are all simple swornships under the condition of drunkenness. However, after Liu Shoucai sobered up, he was very depressed about it.

"What's wrong with General Dou?"

Liu Shoucai dared not really be a brother to General Dou. After all, General Dou will be an emperor in the future. Liu Shoucai does not want to get too close to him for this. In fact, it is better to be a friend like now.

"Oh! Something happened to your friends. Come with me quickly! If you don't leave, it's really too late."

General Dou's words made Liu Shoucai stunned in an instant, "General Dou, what do you mean by this? What's wrong with my friends?"

"Let's talk while walking! Early this morning, someone reported that there were several people on the mountain who were seriously injured and unconscious, and there was also a big white rooster who fainted. When I heard the description of that person, I immediately thought of your friends, so I specially asked the yamen runners to check it out. It turned out that they were really your friends, so I came to find you."

"How could they be? How could they faint on the mountain due to serious injuries? Let's go over and take a look."

Liu Shoucai was also very nervous. He didn't expect that something happened to Guigusong and the others. If he had known that such a thing would have happened, he would have followed him last night. It's a pity that Guigusong and the others were walking too fast.

When Liu Shoucai and General Dou arrived on the mountain, there were already many people surrounding the mountain. After Liu Shoucai squeezed in, he immediately checked the injuries of Badou and Xiaobai. Fortunately, they were not very serious, but they were just unconscious.

After waiting for about half an hour, Guigusong and the others woke up one after another. When they saw the people around them, they all frowned.

"Brother Guigu, what's wrong with you and Badou? Why are you both injured and fainted here? What's going on?"

"Oh! Don't mention it, we were hit by someone else's trick. It's true that there are ghosts in this mountain, but that ghost is still working with people. That person actually dug a hole in the mountain to design us. Because we were too careless, we were caught."

Guigusong looked ashamed. He felt that he had really capsized in the gutter this time, and Liu Shoucai was confused.

"Brother Guigu, you said someone cooperated with Gui, who is that person? Do you still remember his appearance? If not, I can use magic to view your memories."

"No need to check it out. That person is a yamen runner next to the county master. I remember how he looks. As long as I see him again, I promise to catch him at a glance."

Hearing Guigusong's words, Liu Shoucai immediately became alert. Why were there any problems with the yamen runners around the county master? Could it be that the yamen runners around the county master actually had other identities? Thinking of this, Liu Shoucai didn't dare to talk here easily.

"Since you are fine, then let's go down the mountain first! Let's talk about it when you go back."

Seeing Liu Shoucai wink at himself, Gui Gusong didn't understand what it meant, so he didn't say anything else. He helped Badou and the others down the mountain. After arriving at the inn, General Dou also came with him.

"General Dou, don't you have to be busy?"

"What can I do to be busy with? I'm just here to see you guys. How about it? Is it better? If you want to go up the mountain next time, you must bring a few more people to avoid being hit like this time."

"Thank you General Dou for your concern. We know that this time we were just trapped. We are not so careless every time. This will never happen again."

Guigusong was not concerned about the people under General Dou, and he didn't care about those people. Guigusong was very confident about his abilities. This time it was just a small accident. Guigusong was not too worried about anything, but Liu Shoucai was always very alert.

"Liu Shoucai, why have you been frowning after you come back from the foot of the mountain? What are you thinking? Let's say it out and we will help you with the answer."

As soon as Xiaobai sat on the chair, he saw Liu Shoucai's restlessness, so he started asking. As Xiaobai asked, everyone looked at Liu Shoucai.

"I'm wondering who did you offend on the mountain? And it's all around the former county master. Actually, that's what it is..."

Liu Shoucai handed the jade seal he had brought back last night to everyone to see, and also told the story of the yamen runner and Fang. After hearing Liu Shoucai's words, everyone immediately turned their faces down. It seems that the former county master was really brave enough to actually want to be the emperor. Is he worthy of it?

"I really didn't expect that the old guy wanted to be the emperor, and he couldn't even give birth to his offspring. Even if he became the emperor, he would be knocked down in a few years. I don't know what he was thinking."

General Dou looked contemptuous and always looked down on his former county master. If it weren't for the county master's good father, General Dou wouldn't even bother to pay attention to him.

"He is already dead, no matter how much we say, it is useless. For the sake of this, we are just to support General Dou to take office. General Dou, give me a message! We all support you."

"Brother Liu! It's not that I don't want to be the emperor, but this division is Wuming. If I become the emperor, I wouldn't have been scolded to death by the people of the world."

Although General Dou also had this idea of ​​becoming an emperor in his heart, he felt a little embarrassed when he thought of his identity.
