To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

The secret passage leads directly to the suburbs.

Aoao was tugging at Jiusu, trying to bite the handkerchief left by Jiaping. Jiusu held it on the ground for it to smell: "How is it? Can you find it?"

"Wang!"

Aoao moved his front paws and took two steps forward.

The sky was getting slightly brighter. Those who heard the noise last night did not dare to come out. They watched the Fu family's house being ransacked and could not hide their excitement. Someone asked uncertainly.

"Sir, has Master Fu committed a crime?"

Gao Jing said: "Fu Cheng's sins are grave, don't you all know it? Now, retribution has come. From now on, you don't need to be afraid anymore."

As soon as the news spread, the families who had been harmed by Fu Cheng put on mourning clothes and burned paper in basins at their doorsteps.

"My daughter! God has mercy on me! Fu Cheng is finished!"

Paper money fluttered in the air.

Bai Luoxue felt a pang of sorrow at this. "Even if they were to chop the rich into pieces, they wouldn't be able to quench their hatred! Fangfei, give all the silver we brought to these poor people."

Mingheng came on horseback and clasped his fists towards Gao Jing.

"The Prime Minister has ordered Deputy General Gao to lead his troops to surround the County Magistrate's Mansion!"

"Yes, I obey your command." Gao Jing mounted his horse quickly.

Beside him, Bai Luoxue raised her hand: "I'm going too!"

Gao Jing used all his strength to pull the man up. He warned, "Don't beat him to death, or it will be hard to explain to the task."

"Don't worry, I won't let him die!" Bai Luoxue snorted coldly, "Wouldn't it be more satisfying to torture him slowly while he's still alive?"

"..."

The county government office closed its doors tightly.

Even beating the drum to complain is useless.

The yamen runner yawned and cursed irritably, "Get out of here, get out of here, what are you knocking for? The county magistrate is on leave today, and you're still standing there, waiting for me to come over and greet you..."

He saw the words on the token.

"Welcome, Prime Minister!"

Jiang Jing said coldly: "Open the door."

The bailiff crawled and rolled to open the door of the county government office, and followed behind with a bent back. He couldn't believe that the prime minister had come to this poor place. The good news was that he saw the prime minister, but the bad news was that he was definitely going to die.

Director Jia heard the noise and frowned.

He raised his hand and shouted, "How dare these unruly people break into the county government office without permission! Get them out!"

Just now, Fu Cheng hurriedly entered the county government office through the secret passage and said he was going to kill them. He was afraid at first, but when he saw these two men, they were wearing tattered and patched clothes.

He doesn't look like an official appointed by the imperial court at all.

It looks like a revenge plot.

The yamen runner didn't dare to move. He stammered as he walked over to Jia Chu and trembled as he uttered the painful address, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Jia Chu was startled and leaned back, "What did you say?"

"Sir, I have seen the token. He is Prime Minister Jiang of our Xu State." After the yamen runner finished speaking, he saw the county magistrate kneeling on the ground, so he knelt down immediately as well.

Jia Chu kowtowed and said, "Alas, I was unaware that the Prime Minister had arrived and failed to welcome him. I beg the Prime Minister and his wife to forgive me!"

Jiusu asked, "Where is Fucheng?"

Director Jia didn't understand. He said, "Madam, Fucheng should be at the mansion. If not, he must be at the brothel. Is there anything you need from him?"

Ignore his gags.

"Fu Cheng was convicted of robbing a woman and murdering someone for money, and was sentenced to death, but he escaped." Jiusu looked around the mansion, holding Aoao in his hand, and couldn't wait to look for him. "He escaped into your mansion."

Director Jia laughed dryly: "How is this possible?"

Jiusu squatted down, rubbing the howling head, with a cold look in his eyes: "The county magistrate took the initiative to confess, and the nature of the person we caught is different."

Director Jia rolled his eyes and bent down to look at the sweat dripping onto the ground.

"I haven't seen Fucheng today. Madam, please feel free to search for him."

The sound of horse hooves faded as Bai Luoxue dismounted and ran in, angrily saying, "If you dare not confess, you'll be in big trouble when we find you."

Jia Chuwei said in embarrassment: "Indeed, I didn't. How can I explain this to you?"

Jiusu pulled Bai Luoxue's arm to stop her from whipping him, and said calmly, "It's not too late to beat him after we find Fucheng. If we beat him now, what will we do if he doesn't have the strength later?"

The county magistrate is so confident.

I'm afraid Fucheng was hidden somewhere that is not easy to find.

Fortunately, I found it.

If you don't find it, it will be difficult to justify beating officials.

"Ahhh, go find it."

Aoao was running around the mansion unhindered with his limbs and claws, and Jiusu and others followed behind him.

Director Jia widened his eyes. The place where the dog ran was exactly... He looked panicked. Deputy General Gao was behind him, so he couldn't give orders openly. He could only suppress his panic and follow.

"Deputy General Gao, please come in."

Aoao ran all the way to the deserted yard.

There was moss on both sides, which was extremely slippery.

Jiang Jing held her hand tightly. "Ahhh, run slowly. Good things are worth waiting for. The house is surrounded tightly inside and outside. Are you afraid that the mouse will escape?"

Aoao is human nature.

Slow down.

He even asked Jiusu for food.

Jiusu mentioned, "I heard the county magistrate is also one of the richest people in the village. Then why are there so many surnames in the village that sound like 'jia'?"

Director Jia saw that she was taking her time and was not in a hurry at all.

He was unsure again. Could it be that she couldn't find it at all and was just trying to trick him? After thinking for a moment, he said cautiously, "Originally, the name of Fujia Village started with the character Jia. Later, it fell into decline, and Fucheng liked the character Jia, so it became the meaning of 'the richest and most powerful'."

Jiusu raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "County Magistrate Jia has a really good temper. He actually lets a businessman act so arrogantly."

"You're joking." Jia Chu felt a poke in his sore spot and could only smile bitterly, "It's just the name of the village. For the people to live a good life, I can endure any hardship."

Bai Luoxue rolled her eyes and cursed in a low voice: "You dog official."

After being scolded, Director Jia could only smile.

"Woof woof woof." Aoao barked at the locked courtyard gate, wagging his tail and biting Jiusu's dress, indicating that she wanted to go inside.

Director Jia pointed to the old bloodstains on the door and said.

"You can't go there. This courtyard is haunted. Anyone who goes in to clean up will die. If anything happens to you and the Prime Minister, I can't take the blame."

Jiusu patted its dog's head, his eyes flickering slightly, "Open it."

"This, this..." Jia Chu looked at the rusty lock guiltily, "It's been so long, I guess the key is gone."

Jiusu reminded him one last time: "County Magistrate, the results will be different if you confess voluntarily or if we find out."

Director Jia touched his nose, his back tense. "I really haven't seen Fu Cheng. Can I have someone look for the key? Let's search somewhere else first."

Bai Luoxue sensed something was going on and asked back with a cold snort.

"You want to wait until we leave so you can move Fucheng away, right?"

Director Jia waved his hand: "That's not what I meant."

"Cut it off."

At the command, Deputy General Gao drew his sword and cut the chain.

Clang.

The moment it fell, Jia Chu's heart tightened. He flattered him, "Deputy General Gao, you have great martial arts skills." He looked at the servants behind him and said, "Why don't you go in and search!"

Jiusu said coldly: "Stop!"

The servants were so frightened that they dared not move, and Jia Chu was frightened by her eyes and could only stand by and wait.

She untied the rope around Aoao's neck.

"Woof!" Aoao was released.

Director Jia narrowed his eyes and deliberately fell behind. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress his hatred: "Put poison in the meat buns and poison that dog to death for me!"
