What do you mean by "the game editor has also traveled through time"?

Biyu Lane, Tongli Alley.

As the saying goes, "Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts."

However, Xu Shimo only cared about killing people and didn't even touch the corpse—the corpse was touched in full view of everyone, and the total amount was ninety-eight taels of silver.

Han, the constable, took fifty taels. The three constables, including Xu Shimo, each took ten taels, and the remaining eighteen taels were divided among everyone.

At this moment, Xu Shimo had already made his way to the home of Wang, the leader of the Chishui Gang.

The family had a two-courtyard house with plenty of surplus grain. They even found a land deed and dug up fifty taels of silver and a jar of wine from the soil under a pear tree.

"My lord, Wang Tang... Wang Yu is known for his greed and lust. We've already searched this house thoroughly, but he also owns several other houses in the city, my lord?"

It was Zhao San who spoke. He stood beside Xu Shimo, bowing, looking like he was taking credit.

Like a traitor.

Xu Shimo pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

News of Wang Yu's death must have spread by now. Not to mention his friends in the Chishui Gang, his enemies have probably come knocking on his door as well.

This place is close to the city guard headquarters of Hongshoufang, but I have no time to care about anything else.

Even when eating meat, leave some soup for others.

"You're mistaken. How could this house be his?"

Xu Shimo waved the land deed in his hand and said, "My house was only there for a few years, how did it become his!"

Zhao San was visibly taken aback, then nodded frantically:

"Yes, yes, congratulations on returning to your old residence, sir!"

Xu Shimo didn't answer. He paced back and forth a couple of times with his hands behind his back, then sat down in the armchair and asked casually:

"I heard you're selling 'Red Water Fist' outside?"

Zhao San glanced at Xu Shimo discreetly, but he didn't know what the other party meant.

But he doesn't need to understand—

"Every country has its laws, and every gang has its rules. Zhao San, you have not only provoked trouble and disturbed people's livelihoods, but you have also violated the gang rules by privately selling martial arts techniques," Xu Shimo said.

With a thud.

Although he didn't know how the topic of gang rules came up, Zhao San immediately knelt down, then pulled out a crookedly written copy of "Red Water Fist" from his pocket and said:

"I am willing to hand over my boxing skills, and from now on turn over a new leaf and become a new person."

"I have heard that you, sir, once listened to the teachings of the Daoist Ancestor. I am willing to offer ten taels of silver to listen to your teachings."

"He can read..." Xu Shimo took it. Judging from the handwriting, it was most likely written by Zhao San himself. Although it was a bit ugly, it was still better than most people's handwriting, at least it was legible.

But you actually took advantage of the nonsense I was spouting on the street that day.

"You do have some Daoist qualities. Have you ever sold any Dragon King rewards?" Xu Shimo asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhao San stammered, finally saying:

"I... dare not lie to you, sir, I have done wrong. But I have never caused anyone to be ruined or killed, nor have I kidnapped anyone's daughter like the Five Poisons Gang."

There's none?

Xu Shimo: "What's the story with Old Man Liu's third wife?"

He clearly remembered that in the confession that day in front of the two thugs from the Five Poisons Gang, Old Man Liu mentioned that his third aunt had been kidnapped by the Chishui Gang and sacrificed to the river god.

"Sir, it is true that their third aunt was sacrificed to the river god, but it was done by the gang leader himself. On the day the gang leader sacrificed to the river god, the originally planned offerings were stolen by bandits."

"It just so happened that their third daughter was having a secret rendezvous with her lover by the river, and so, so..."

Xu Shimo pondered for a moment, then suddenly sighed:

"You don't need to give me those ten taels of silver. The Taoist Ancestor is benevolent and cannot bear to see people suffer. Return the money to him—if it's not enough, return it to the poorest person first."

He quickly calculated in his mind that he originally had two taels of gold, which was equivalent to twenty taels of silver. He had also received ten taels at noon and had just dug up another fifty taels.

Eighty taels in total.

enough!

They don't need those ten taels.

Let's put this money on the Chishui Gang for now.

After saying that, Xu Shimo's ears twitched, and he gestured outside: "Go and see what's going on outside."

Zhao San got up, but stopped again as soon as he turned around.

He didn't need to go ahead to scout; the voice still came through. It was a woman's voice, a childish voice tinged with tears.

"Master Yu, please take me in! Fourth Sister is willing to be your slave, just please save my father!"

Liu Si Niang knelt in front of the door, her hair disheveled and her face covered in mud.

Gone was the freshness and liveliness of the day before; she kowtowed.

But then a pair of white-soled, black-faced boots stepped out from the threshold.

Liu Si Niang's body trembled uncontrollably, her forehead pressed against the pebbles and mud, she dared not raise her head, but what reached her ears was not that rough voice.

His tone was somewhat gentle, yet there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in it, as if he wasn't speaking to himself.

"What's going on here?" Xu Shimo asked.

His face looked exhausted.

How old is he?

I'm afraid he's not even twelve yet... This Wang Yu!

Zhao San leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Sir, although Wang Yu is a lecherous man, he likes... widows. This, this... Liu Si Niang, she... she is to the liking of that Li Hall Master of the Five Poisons Gang."

"Fourth Sister is probably grasping at straws in her desperation. She heard that Wang Yu is very generous to those widows, so she came here."

After saying this, he glanced at Liu Si Niang, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

I see. You dislike this little girl because she's too skinny and has no meat on her bones, and you prefer girls with big breasts and big butts, right?

...Good taste! After a long pause, Xu Shimo finally came up with this assessment.

But when he heard the name of that Hall Master Li, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Was it also Master Li's idea to cause trouble that day?" Xu Shimo asked.

Zhao San thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. He's much more efficient. It's probably his subordinates who wanted to curry favor with him and acted on their own."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shimo's mood did not relax much; on the contrary, it grew even colder.

This also means that this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.

Suppressing his anger, Xu Shimo asked:

"Can you cook?"

"……meeting."

"I didn't ask you."

Only then did Liu Si Niang raise her head and see that both of their gazes were fixed on her. "You...benefactor?"

Only then did she realize that the fair-skinned face in front of her was actually the benefactor who had driven away the thugs from the Five Poisons Gang for her and her father the day before and left them money.

"What about starching the clothes?"

Liu Si Niang nodded emphatically: "Yes, Si Niang is willing to serve you like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness."

"No need for that. Just be a good person. Go back and get your father his medicine." Xu Shimo turned and left, leaving behind three taels of silver. "From now on, come over every day to do your laundry and cook. You'll get four hundred coins a month. I'll pay you back slowly."

Liu Si Niang looked up, but before she could express her gratitude, she saw three taels of silver fall straight to the ground.

It's even whiter than the snow that fell a few days ago.

In an instant, tears flowed like a burst dam, gushing forth uncontrollably.

In the courtyard, a few pear trees had only three early-blooming buds swaying in the wind.

But it's not over yet.

"Take my knife, go back, and kill those bastards from the Five Poisons Gang. Then come to me tomorrow morning to give me my assignment," Xu Shimo said.

Among those scoundrels were the two who had beaten up Old Man Liu the day before yesterday.

As for this difference?

Old Zhao retired, and he was promoted, which created another vacancy.

After saying that, Xu Shimo went to the headquarters.
