After distributing the sweat towels, Wang Xuwen went to the second courtyard and saw a very shiny "silver-skinned" large basin at the kitchen door. It was filled with smoking brown liquid medicine. There were more than 20 bowls placed on the corridor next to it, and each bowl was filled with brown liquid medicine.

"Captain Wang, please help distribute this summer heat-relief soup. One bowl per person, don't drink too much. There is clean water here, drink this if you need water."

Jiang Heng brought out a large "silver-skinned" basin, which was filled with clear and pure water without any impurities.

Wang Xuwen didn’t know what to say. He just felt his eyes a little hot and wet, and a little ashamed and guilty.

In the current official circles, everyone says that Master Zhulong is a troublemaker and that no good things will happen wherever he is.

But who would have thought that Master Zhulong was so compassionate to his subordinates and those who worked for him in private.

I made the medicine myself and also prepared spiritual water.

Even this spiritual water costs half a tael of silver per pot in a teahouse, and ordinary people can't afford it. Military camps are big water users, so it's even more impossible to prepare spiritual water for ordinary soldiers to drink.

Master Zhulong, so generous!

Originally, the soldiers had some complaints about repairing houses and building moats and embankments, but after taking the spiritual water and medicine, they became more energized and, if they were not hungry, they would have wanted to continue working without rest.

After Wang Xuwen distributed the medicine and spiritual water, he slowly moved to the kitchen. "Um, Brother Zhulong, the governor Liu wants to show his hospitality and invite you to have a simple meal. Do you think it's okay tonight?"

"It looks like it will be a sunny day today with a moon. I will practice in the evening."

"Then tomorrow at noon?"

If you want to live in a place for a long time, you have to build good relations with the place. Jiang Heng did not refuse, "Okay. Who are the people sitting at the same table with me?"

"The governor of the prefecture, Lord Liu, and his subordinates, the governor, Lord Li, and some personnel from Chongshui and Chongzuo counties... no more than 20 people."

Jiang Heng called Crocodile Plus over and said, "Watch the fire while I go out and prepare some things."

Wang Xuwen was surprised. "What are you preparing for?"

Jiang Heng walked out of the courtyard. "I am just a commoner. I was honored by the officials of Lizhou Prefecture and invited me to dinner. I definitely can't go empty-handed. I'll go prepare some souvenirs."

Wang Xuwen quickly followed, "Brother Zhulong's arrival is the greatest affirmation of Lizhou, there is no need to prepare gifts..."

"It's a bit of an idea. What do you think would be a good idea to prepare? I'm just a commoner, so I don't know much about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. Seasonal fresh vegetables are too cheap..."

Wang Xuwen was confused. How could they dare to accept the gift from Master Zhulong? But if they didn't accept it, would Master Zhulong become a troublemaker in an instant? If they accepted it, what could they accept?

"Brother Zhulong..."

"How about this, for your unsolved cases where you can't find any evidence, or where there's no evidence, I'll help you catch ghosts and interrogate them?"

Wang Xuwen stood there in a daze.

"There should be some unsolved cases in Lizhou, right? Otherwise, we can also look at the ironclad cases where the families of the victims always cry foul..."

Wang Xuwen's face changed drastically. A solid case is already an achievement of an official in charge of a region. If it is overturned, the official will be demoted or exiled at best, or his property will be confiscated and he will be exiled at worst.

No matter what, the future is definitely bleak!

It turns out that Young Master Zhulong is not here to avoid the limelight, he is here just to cause trouble.

Be very careful.

Wang Xuwen calmed down and said with a smile: "Brother Zhulong, you are a guest from afar, how can I trouble you?"

"It's not tiring. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway. It's settled."

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I saw a man in his thirties walking towards me with a cart of cloth.

The cloth was obviously of good quality, with excellent glossiness and solid color, and it was the style she liked.

The man immediately came forward and bowed, "Excuse me, are you Master Yinyue? My Miss Han sent me to bring you some cloth to measure your size and make you some clothes."

Jiang Heng nodded, waved his hand, and collected the cloth on the car, "Come in."

Entering the second courtyard, Jiang Heng stretched out his hands to both sides, "Which store is the shopkeeper from?"

Li Lu measured his shoulder width and arm length with his hands, and then used a tape measure to measure his waist, chest, foot width and length.

"Okay, sir, I'll bring the clothes to you as soon as they're ready."

"Well, thank you, Shopkeeper Li."

In the kitchen, Jiang Heng was boiling medicinal herbs and wild mushroom soup. Seeing that Wang Xuwen hadn't dealt with his emotions after such a long time, he took out a silver bear and handed it to him:

"I'd like to trouble County Lieutenant Wang to help me buy some vegetables at the market. Chicken, duck, fish, goose, pig, cattle, and mutton are all fine. Buy whatever you have. We'll have lunch."

Wang Xuwen did not collect the cash from the bear. "The young master has already given me one gold and one silver. You don't need to give me more."

Crocodile Plus looked at Wang Xuwen's back as he walked away. "Why do I feel like he's in a hurry? Xiaopang, what did you say to him?"

"He's probably going back to give a tip-off."

"What news or information are you reporting?"

"They want to treat me to lunch tomorrow at noon. Out of courtesy, I can't go empty-handed. So I asked them to help them investigate the unsolved cases and overturn the ironclad cases that the people always complain about. He probably feels a little guilty."

Crocodile Plus didn't know what to say for a moment. He paused and crawled to the cool corridor outside the kitchen. "Xiaopang, are you more nosy?"

Jiang Heng was stunned for a moment, then a little annoyed, "How could I? It's just a matter of gratitude.

They invited me to dinner for no reason, and I didn't have anything to show for it. After thinking it over, I decided to ask Zhang Yuan and the others to help investigate the case. By the way, has Zhang Yuan come out of seclusion?"

"If he doesn't show up, I can't see it. How would I know?"

Jiang Heng's mind sank into the sea of ​​consciousness. He looked at the master-servant contract and sensed that he was still in the room and had not come out yet.

Jiang Heng walked to the door and glanced at the soldiers coming and going. "Xiao Hei, what do you think? I should go to the Mercenary Association and post an anonymous recruitment notice to recruit female cultivators above the Ghost King Realm. Then I can sign employment contracts with them instead of master-servant contracts. Is that okay?"

"What is a contract of employment? Is it binding like a master-servant contract? If not, what if they go out and harm others under your name?"

Jiang Heng was slightly stunned and called out to Fox, "Dabai, contracts generally include master-servant contracts, equal contracts, and what other contracts are there? How to draw the contract runes? Is there any similar information?"

The fox's eyes rolled, and he threw out a wide scroll a foot long. Without saying a word, he turned invisible.

Jiang Heng looked through the scroll and found a golden seal inside. It was very dazzling and hard to see clearly. Just in case, he unfolded it to the side. As the scroll was unfolded, a golden seal flew out, but it found nothing on the other side and retracted into the scroll.

Sure enough, there is something weird!

Crocodile Plus exclaimed, "What was that just now?"

Jiang Heng shook his head. "I don't know either. Dabai? Dabai?"

The fox appeared impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it. If not, don't bother me!"

"What was that golden seal just now?"

"It's an offensive technique. If you're hit, a golden mark will be left on your body."

"that's it?"

"Of course not only that. Those with low cultivation will have holes punched through them, and the area around the holes will start to burn and rot..."
