Chapter 11 Generous Rewards
"My lord, everything has been counted!"
"Okay, go down!" Waving his hand, Shen Yu held the account books and checked them one by one, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
After he finished judging the Cai family in the morning, Shen Yu personally led everyone to search the Cai Mansion. It must be said that the wealth of the Cai Mansion opened the eyes of Shen Yu, a poor scholar. The total value of the silver and calligraphy and paintings seized alone was probably nearly 200,000 taels.
This is just the cash, plus the land deeds, shops, etc., the value is unknown. It is said that the Cai family was just a small family back then, but since Cai Chong became the county magistrate, the Cai Mansion has expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cai Zhong's elder brother, the master of the Cai family, is a bad guy who has no idea how to do business, but he knows how to rob. He has learned this skill by himself, and he gets better and better at it the more he practices.
As long as the business is good and has no background, they will get involved. If they don't agree, they will just take over the business. If the woman in the family is good-looking, they will just pack up and take her back.
It is conceivable how much evil the Cai family has accumulated over the years. It can be said that every penny is stained with the blood and tears of others. As the saying goes, what goes up comes down, and the servants in the Cai Mansion are all of similar quality.
It can be said that almost 80% of the people in the Cai family, from the master to the servants, deserved to die!
"Master!"
"My lord, your orders!"
"You must immediately return all the things that the Cai family has taken from others over the years to the victims, and put the rest into the treasury!"
"This... is it, sir!" He looked at Shen Yu in surprise. He thought that the county magistrate would order him to take these things home. Who would have thought that this gentleman would not take a penny.
There are so many gold, silver and jewels in front of us. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't imagine how shocking it is. You are so hard-hearted that you are not tempted. If you, as the county magistrate, don't take it, how can we, your subordinates, do it?
"It's hard!" He couldn't help but sigh secretly. The master could already imagine the hard days ahead. This master couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. The possibility of him trying to take advantage of him in the future was probably very small.
Ignoring the master who had turned into a bitter face, Shen Yu nodded with satisfaction after seeing that everything had been dealt with.
"System, sign in!"
"Sign in successfully, get the Wind God Leg!"
"Wind God Leg? What a generous reward." Shen Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the system prompt sound coming from his ear, and then a feeling of ecstasy surged in his heart.
It seems that his guess was correct. As expected, the effort and reward are proportional. If you move to Cai's house and sign in, you will be rewarded with the Wind God Leg. What a generous reward!
Even though he is the county magistrate now, this is a world full of dangers and no one can guarantee 100% safety.
The blood and tears of history told him that he must be good at Qinggong to survive in the underworld. If he is not good at Qinggong, he can't play at all. If he can't beat the opponent, or even run away, he will probably have to kneel down.
The Wind God Leg is a top-notch martial art that can attack and run. It is powerful when fighting and fast when running. With this martial art, one of his shortcomings has been made up. The key is that he can easily fly over eaves and walls, as light as a swallow.
From now on, he no longer needs to envy those knights who can go high and mighty. As long as he wants, he can do it anytime, and he can do it very coolly.
As the system prompt sounded, a ray of light poured into Shen Yu's body, and a figure tumbling up and down appeared in Shen Yu's consciousness, with unpredictable power in its movement. It seemed like a moment, as if several years had passed quietly, and it seemed like only a blink of an eye had passed.
" Good!" In just a moment, he had completely mastered the many tricks of this martial art. All that was left was to practice diligently to master it completely.
It has to be said that the Cai family gave him big surprises one after another. Unfortunately, all the members of the Cai family have been arrested and imprisoned by him. He has almost fleeced this sheep, and he will probably have to switch to another sheep to continue fleecing.
Come to think of it, I feel a little reluctant!
At night, a breeze brought a bit of coolness. At this time, Cai Zhong was sitting on the ground in the Bai'an County prison, and he was not moved at all by the food placed beside him.
Cai Zhong had dominated Bai'an County for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this. In the final analysis too impatient. The smooth sailing in recent years and his contempt for the new county magistrate made him forget what it meant to be cautious at every step.
His momentary rush for success has ultimately led to a complete loss. Even if he regrets it now, he cannot reverse this situation of utter failure. Who can he blame?
"Ah, it hurts, someone come, someone come..." Suddenly, screams of pain were heard in the quiet prison. The familiar voice made Cai Zhong shudder all over. It was the voice of their Cai family.
This sudden cry was like a signal. Soon, the same screams came one after another, and each scream was so familiar. However, these sounds soon became low and gradually inaudible.
At this moment, a mouse came from nowhere and crawled into the rice bowl he had thrown aside. Then the mouse began to squeak and struggle, and then it became silent in a moment.
This scene made Cai Zhong's face full of bitterness. Since he was imprisoned, he had made countless plans and thought of countless possibilities.
He thought that even if he had no merit, he had worked hard, and no matter what, he would not be abandoned. But he did not expect that the final result would still be the worst one, and he was abandoned after all!
“Hahahaha…” Gradually, the bitterness on Cai Zhong’s face disappeared and turned into wild laughter, his eyes filled with madness.
Afterwards, Cai Zhong seemed to have made some kind of decision. He quickly suppressed the emotions on his face, silently took off his clothes, took the innermost white undershirt in his hands, and warmed it over the candle.
Soon, many densely packed small characters appeared on the clothes. After seeing these characters, Cai Zhong, who had been calm, became manic again.
"Killing relatives and children, so heartless and ruthless! How heartless and ruthless! What a bloody murder!" Cai Zhong pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, pinching his fingers so hard that they turned white and deformed. At this moment, Cai Zhong's eyes were full of determination. At this point, he had no choice!
"Live on. I must live on now. In the future, I will not let any of you go. One day, one day..."
"Cai Zhong! Lord Cai!" At this moment, two men in black suddenly appeared at the door of the prison where Cai Zhong was. Their faces were covered by black scarves, so their faces could not be seen clearly, but the cold murderous intent was particularly obvious in the dark night.
"Master Cai, why don't you eat such delicious food? Why do you have to trouble us brothers to cook it ourselves?"
"You guys?" Cai Zhong, shirtless, raised his head quietly, without any panic in his eyes. "How much have I paid for you over the years? Don't you really care about our friendship?"
"Master Cai, you said it yourself that it was an old relationship. The moment you were imprisoned, you should have known that you couldn't get out. Also, you don't have to struggle, and you don't have to waste your energy. The jailers here have all fainted, so no matter how much you ask for help, it will be in vain!"
"Sir Cai, we brothers are only following orders. The young master ordered us to escort you. Sir, we are sorry for the inconvenience!" As they spoke, two men in black took out a straw rope and slowly walked up.
After being arrested and imprisoned, County Magistrate Cai Chong could not bear the humiliation and first poisoned his entire family, and then committed suicide out of fear of punishment. What a perfect plan, what an impeccable reason!
"Since the young master is unkind, don't blame me, Cai, for being unjust!" With a cold smile, Cai Zhong suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party, with a flash of blood in his eyes.
The man in black suddenly felt a bit chilly after being looked at by him so suddenly. For some reason, he involuntarily moved closer to him...
"Sir, something bad has happened!" In the early morning, when Shen Yu was still asleep, the head constable Zhou Yuan had already rushed over.
"Sir, something terrible has happened in the prison. All the members of the Cai family except Cai Zhong have been poisoned to death, and Cai Zhong himself is nowhere to be found!"
"Oh, sir, there are two more men in black in the prison, but they are dead. Their deaths seem strange, as if all the blood in their bodies has been drained!"
"What? Come on, follow me to the prison!" After hearing Zhou Yuan's report , Shen Yu stood up and ran towards the prison without saying a word.
This Cai Zhong, he is still not honest even after being put in jail. However, all the Cai family members died, but Cai Zhong disappeared. Was he murdered to silence them? Or was he fleeing for fear of being punished? Then why were there two men in black left behind? Aren’t they amateur killers who are not skilled in their job?
"The blood has been drained? It seems that what I have been looking for has appeared, and it is indeed in the Cai family!" After Shen Yu left, a graceful figure walked out from the corner. It was Miss Aru who was brought back to the yamen by Shen Yu.
"In that case, I should leave too. Cai Zhong, humph! I underestimated you. I thought I had misjudged you, but I didn't expect you to be able to hide so well. I almost failed!"
Looking at Shen Yu's receding back, Ah Ru smiled softly, and the endless charm seemed to be magnified in an instant. If a man saw this scene, it would be difficult for him to control himself.
"Little County Magistrate, one day, we will meet again! I hope that by then, we will not be enemies!"
