Chen Shuangmei immediately said, "Go to Niu Er's house."

Mr. Zong showed hesitation. Although Niu Er was just a dilapidated house, he relied on his strength to be considered a domineering Jingzi Town. He was lazy and had to be thieves. He was thirty years old and had not yet gotten married, but he had become a habit of teasing women.

On weekdays, people in the town are always avoiding him, so they dare not come forward to provoke him. And his home is not a good place. Even if the Zong Lao is the chief of the clan of Jingzi Town, he is a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Chen Shuangmei took out a token from her sleeve and said, "I am the sixth-rank chief of the Ministry of Justice. I have the right to investigate cases in accordance with the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty. You fellow villagers don't have to be afraid, I will make the decision for you."

For ordinary people, whether they have an official position or not is a world of difference. Not to mention a decent sixth rank chief or a minor official without an official position, they are also a person who cannot be easily provoked. At this time, when Chen Shuangmei spoke, Mr. Zong became confident and brought his group to Niu Er's door.

From the outside, it is a very dilapidated yard with weeds and leaves everywhere. It is not far from the walls and houses collapse. It seems that no one has lived there for a long time. But according to the residents of the town, Niu Er lives here on weekdays, no wonder he can't get a wife. Whose daughter is willing to live in this place?

Chen Shuang frowned, and was not polite, so she pushed open the wooden door that had no need to lock it and walked into the yard.

She was born in the Xingming family and was influenced by how to handle the case since childhood. After walking around the yard, she went to the house to take a look and asked Mr. Zong who was following her: "What is Niu Er's character? Is he greedy for money and gamble?"

Mr. Zong hurriedly said, "The headmaster is very eye-catching. Niu Er is idle and lazy on weekdays, and is also involved in the habit of playing money. He says he will lose if he gambles for a long time. Niu Er has owed a lot of foreign debts over the years, and his family's things have been sold almost the same. His parents were so angry that he was still angry, but he still didn't repent and started to thieves. Whenever he had a few silver dollars in his hand, he would immediately go to the gambling house in the county town to lose."

Chen Shuangmei nodded and walked into the adobe room again. Li Xuandu and others followed her in. Seeing that she was fumbled around regardless of the dust, a light sound came from the wall. After she took off the adobe brick, she did not see outside the wall, but there was a layer of wall. It turned out that there was a mezzanine in the wall.

Chen Shuangmei reached out to the mezzanine and groped for a while. When she retracted her hand, there was already an extra blue cloth bag in her hand.

Li Xuan couldn't help but exclaim: "I really have a specialty in my skills."

"It seems to be silver." Chen Shuangmei weighed the weight of the bag and handed the bag to Yan Feiqing.

Yan Feiqing reached out to take the bag, frowned, and said, "This bag is a bit strange, and it can actually isolate my divine thoughts."

As he spoke, he reached out to open the bag. Sure enough, inside the bag was filled with ingots of snowflakes and silver, all of which were melted into the shape of ingots, and they were also official silver.

The so-called official silver is used to enter the treasury, which means that the taxes of each state must be engraved with the words or patterns of the official silver logo to facilitate the management of the treasury. The people are not allowed to use official silver privately, which is a serious crime of beheading.

The main purpose of official silver is military pay, official salary, palace use, embankment engineering, disaster relief and other expenses. After the court allocated official silver to local prefectures, local prefectures would dissolve the official silver again and refine new silver ingots or silver blocks. This is the main source of broken silver. This process is also called "fire consumption", which refers to the deduction when broken silver is melted and recast into silver ingots, or the deduction when the silver ingots dissolved into broken silver. Fire consumption is also the main means of local government corruption. The "fire consumption belongs to the public" proposed in the new policy of the four ministers that year was cut off the financial path of most officials, which made it more difficult to implement the new policy.

As for the people, most of the silver used is broken silver, and most of the time it is mainly copper coins.

Mr. Zong is a knowledgeable person. After seeing the words "Da Weiku Silver" cast on the silver ingot, his legs became a little weak and he hurriedly said, "Catcher, Master Captain, Niu Er dares to privately hide official silver. We don't know anything about me."

Chen Shuangmei raised her hand and signaled Mr. Zong to silence.

Mr. Zong immediately did not dare to make a noise any more.

The female captain suddenly browed slightly, reached out and took a piece of official silver, flipped it over, and there were several lines of words engraved under the ingot of official silver: Jingzhou Maritime Warehouse, May Day, Tianbao fifth year, the palace was 20 taels of silver, and Liu Ding.

Li Xuandu and Hu Liang looked at each other, and their faces were full of solemn expressions, because the purpose of Chen Shuangmei's trip was to secretly investigate the greed of eunuchs in Jingzhou Maritime Warehouse. At this time, the kuyin of Jingzhou Maritime Warehouse appeared, which explained the problem.

Yan Feiqing naturally understood what these official silver meant. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "These ingots of silver look very ordinary, but there is indeed some yin energy left in it. These ingots of silver should be the medium for the use of magic."

Chen Shuangmei murmured: "The silver in the treasury is hidden in the treasury. Even if the soldiers guarding the treasury do so, they dare not spend it so openly. Most of them have to be re-melted. Where did Niu Er get this treasury?"

Mr. Zong, who was standing beside her, said carefully: "This Niu Er has to play with a little money on weekdays. He will not stop gambling until he loses it. Now there is so much money hidden in his family, which is amazing."

Chen Shuangmei said softly: "In this way, these ingots of silver may be a fortune. Niu Er had not had time to spend it, and 80% of the other two were involved in this matter. Now the two have become living dead. The key is to find Niu Er, but I don't know if Niu Er has also fallen into this situation."

Yan Feiqing suddenly remembered something and asked Mr. Zong: "Does Mr. Zong know the birth date and horoscope of Niu Er and others?"

Mr. Zong was stunned for a moment, and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, our Jingzi Town is full of Niu and Tian, ​​and the genealogy is complete, and everyone's birthday is recorded on it."

Yan Feiqing stretched out his palm and said, "Borrow for a moment."

At this time, he was haunted and an official silver. Mr. Zong didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately asked someone to pick it up. Soon after, he handed a thick file to Yan Feiqing.

Yan Feiqing immediately found the names of the three people, and it would be fine for the other two. The key is Niu Er. This person actually violated his life and violated the evil of the heavenly evil, and the two pillars of the lonely star. The husband defeated his wife, the son defeated his daughter, the relatives defeated his relatives and friends, the six relatives were not connected, the brothers were weak, the marriage was difficult to get married, and the old age was miserable and lonely. In the early years, the family would be rich, and the middle-aged man would sell his land and punish his body. He would lose his son and his wife and his father. He would get together every day and time and end his old age alone.

This kind of fate is naturally not worthy, but for many evil masters who are proficient in soul refining, the soul of this kind of fate is very useful. They just want to refine evil techniques, but they cannot force them to give them voluntarily. In this way, they have to set up various traps, either gold, silver, or beauty, to lure him into it. Niu Er likes to bet, so he naturally uses silver and money to lure him into it.

After Yan Feiqing told the three of them about his guesses, Li Xuan asked: "Since he only took Niu Er and one person, why should he use Yin Qi to cover the entire town?"

Yan Feiqing sighed lightly: "This is what I am worried about. Refining evil magic and evil magic is like refining elixirs. In addition to the main material, other auxiliary materials are also added. Niu Er, who has the fate of the Heavenly Evil, is the main material. The man obviously had to use the entire town as auxiliary materials to help him complete the evil magic. I had already alarmed him before breaking the yin energy in the town. I think he was not far from the town."

The other three people all looked solemn.

Li Xuandu whispered: "People in the evil way regard living people as livestock, take them and take them away, which harms the heavens and violates human ethics. It would be fine if we didn't meet them. Since we met them, there was no reason to leave them."

Yan Feiqing said seriously: "What Brother Zifu said is great good, but there are differences between internal and external things. Not all unfair things in the world must be taken care of. I am from a righteous family and have obtained the inheritance of the Taoist Dharma of the Heavenly Master. Slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits is a responsibility. Brother Zifu's duty is to escort Junior Sister Zhou to Longmen Mansion. It is better for you to leave first. This matter is left to me."

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "Confucianism says that heaven and earth have righteousness, right and wrong, black and white. Taoism also says that when a person has a thought in his heart, heaven and earth know everything. If good and evil are not rewarded, the universe will have private interests. There is no difference between inside and outside."
