Chapter 189: Den of Thieves
Er Gouzi was a strong man, but after being kicked, his ribs were broken. I don’t know where County Magistrate Xia got such strength.
Moreover, County Magistrate Xia could see through his invisible state accurately. This old man Xia is unfathomable.
The movement here had already alarmed other people in the courtyard, and they all rushed here with a roar.
More importantly, Er Gouzi was kicked and his figure appeared.
Fortunately, he made two preparations before coming here, using his spiritual sense to change his appearance. Now he looks like a skinny middle-aged man.
Otherwise, as the county magistrate of Sanyang County and a master of foundation building, he would be too ashamed to see people in the future if he came here to steal salt.
Er Gouzi quickly got up from the ground, slapped another invisible talisman on himself, and his figure disappeared again.
While running away, he did not forget to look back a few times.
Many people in the courtyard were shouting to find his trace.
Only County Magistrate Xia stood stupidly at the door, his eyes always fixed on Er Gouzi, and his sight followed his figure.
The only possibility of seeing through his hidden traces is that his spiritual sense is stronger than his.
Fortunately, County Magistrate Xia did not make another move, and only watched Er Gouzi climb over the wall.
Er Gouzi finally escaped from the compound, but he did not hide immediately.
Instead, he ran to the crowded street and showed his figure, shouting loudly.
"Found it!"
"Found it!"
"I finally found it!"
There were many pedestrians on the street, and they all looked at him sideways, wondering if this man was crazy.
"That fool, what did you find?"
"Did you find your wife at the neighbor's house next door?"
Facing this crazy person, many idle people became interested and surrounded him to tease him.
Er Gouzi glanced at the crowd of onlookers, and then he took a deep breath and continued.
"I found the den of the butterfly fairy!"
The voice was not loud, but it exploded in the crowd like thunder.
The residents of Qingzhou City have been searching for the butterfly fairy for half a year, but they have not found any trace. Today, she is finally going to surface.
The name of the Butterfly Fairy represents a huge amount of wealth. Even if you only get one leg, you can get a lot of rewards in the government office.
Especially with so many stolen goods in the hands of the Butterfly Fairy, as long as you get a little bit, it will be enough for them to make a fortune.
"What?"
"Butterfly Fairy?"
"Where?"
"Tell me quickly?"
A group of people surrounded Er Gouzi with ill intentions, asking about the whereabouts of the Butterfly Fairy.
As for the truth of the news, it is no longer so important.
"It's over there. The stolen goods stolen by the Butterfly Fairy are all hidden inside."
Er Gouzi said, and personally pointed the way for everyone, leading a group of people to run to the small courtyard.
Moreover, the news of the discovery of the Butterfly Fairy spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Many immortal cultivators called their friends, and the crowd gathered more and more.
A large group of people surrounded the courtyard.
There are many immortal cultivators in Qingzhou City, and there are also many in the foundation-building period.
At this moment, those with high cultivation and courage have already jumped over the wall and jumped inside.
As long as someone takes the lead, others will follow suit for fear of losing money if they stay behind.
Anyway, more people can give you courage.
Everyone rushed in during the chaos and took away anything that looked like the stolen goods of the Butterfly Fairy.
Someone saw a large jade-carved bed and firmly believed that it was stolen goods by the Butterfly Fairy, so he picked it up and ran away.
Even a chicken that had just been killed in the kitchen was taken away along with the kitchen knife.
However, although they were robbing frantically, no one noticed that the owner of the house had never appeared.
"No!"
"Fire..."
Many places in the courtyard suddenly caught fire, and thick smoke billowed.
At this time, the people who rushed into the courtyard had long forgotten their original intention of catching the Butterfly Fairy.
Now seeing that the fire was everywhere and getting bigger and bigger, they could only steal whatever they saw and rush out of the house with the spoils...
After Er Gouzi led people to the house, he took advantage of the chaos and slipped away.
Since the government can use the name of the Butterfly Fairy, he can also borrow it for use.
Anyway, all the sins belong to the Butterfly Fairy, and it has nothing to do with him.
It's a pity that Xia Junshou saw through his invisibility and didn't find the large number of marching pills.
Now the entire Qingzhou has insufficient population, low grain production, and continuous fighting on the border, which consumes a lot of food, causing the price of marching pills to skyrocket.
He does have a lot of grain in stock, but it takes a lot of manpower to refine it into marching pills.
Moreover, it takes three buckets of grain to refine one pill, and the effect is equivalent to one bucket of grain.
If you use spiritual grain to refine marching pills, you will lose two-thirds, who can afford to ruin this family.
This trip to the city, he has done what he should do, and he has also done what he shouldn't do, and he has gained a lot.
At this moment, he is already riding a big goose on his way back.
The salt in the gourd was originally a bit bitter, but it was no longer bitter after he put it in and stored it, and it also brought some spiritual energy.
Even the charcoal and quicklime that he collected had improved their quality and were full of spiritual energy.
After returning to Sanyang County, he did not take out the salt immediately, after all, they were things he had borrowed without asking.
He would slowly take them out after the storm had passed.
"Master, there is a letter for you."
Er Gouzi knew without a second thought that except for Sima Yi, no one should have written to him.
Moreover, he guessed that Sima Yi should have been dismissed from office again.
It had been a year since he last received a letter from Sima Yi. He couldn't have been an official for so long.
He opened the letter and found that it was more accurate than he guessed.
Sima Yi was not only dismissed from office this time, but also imprisoned. He was just rescued by the King of Qi.
The reason was that a son of a powerful family raped and killed a good woman, and he was a habitual offender. He had committed this crime several times before he took office.
After Sima Yi took office, he punished him according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Originally, he planned to execute him, but the powerful family sent him gifts and made peace, and even asked his superior to come in person.
Sima Yi originally wanted to execute the criminal when the powerful family didn't react.
Unexpectedly, his subordinates leaked the news, and the person was not executed, but was bitten back.
It was said that the woman in that family was not a good woman, and seduced the son of a powerful family for wealth and fame, but failed to collude, so she falsely accused the son of a powerful family.
What made Sima Yi even more upset was that the woman's family members finally admitted that they had conspired with Sima Yi to make a false accusation.
Therefore, Sima Yi was thrown into prison again.
At the same time, Sima Yi also told Er Gouzi that the harvest in many places this year was poor, and there would be war again, and the entire Zhou Dynasty was short of food.
There might be refugees making trouble again this winter.
After reading a thick stack of letter paper, Er Gouzi got a few pieces of paper and also wrote a crooked letter back to Sima Yi.
Tell Sima Yi that he lives a rich life here, and everyone can have a good year this year.
He is not short of food or land here, but only of people, and seriously short of people.
At the same time, ask Sima Yi if he is interested in coming to Sanyang County to be a minor official?
Er Gouzi promised that he was a real Qingtian master, not greedy for money, would not dismiss him, and would not let him go to jail.
