Chapter 24 Sending Away Beggars

Chen Luo found a lone servant, hid in the dark, grabbed the other's neck, and dragged him into the bushes with one hand. The speed was so fast that the other party did not react, and when he came to his senses, his eyes were still a little confused.

But the next second, after seeing Chen Luo's ferocious eyes, the whole person trembled.

"Grandpa, spare me, Grandpa, spare me!"

As soon as he let go of his hand, the servant immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Looking at him like this, he has been held hostage a lot in recent times, and his movements are quite skilled. But this is normal. Qingya County is now in chaos, and soldiers are everywhere arresting "rebels". Those heroes who can't survive will naturally think of finding food from the source.

"Ask you something."

Chen Luo kicked him and motioned him to get up and talk.

"Where is the Qingya County Magistrate?"

"In Nuanqiu Pavilion! Go straight from this side and you will see the round gate."

The servant sold his master without any hesitation. In the process, he seemed to be afraid that Chen Luo could not find the place, and described the appearance of the three gates to him in detail.

After noting down the route, Chen Luo raised his right hand, knocked the servant unconscious and threw him into the bushes on the side. After that, he captured two more people and asked them in the same way, and the information he got was the same.

After confirming that there was no mistake, he controlled his body and lightly rushed to Nuanqiu Pavilion.

Nuanqiu Pavilion is a small courtyard in the backyard.

The layout is very similar to the quadrangle, with a main hall and two side rooms on both sides, and a small courtyard in the middle. There is a round flower bed with some ornamental plants planted in it. Chen Luo did not recognize it either. It looked like dogtail grass.

"This Fan is too domineering. He borrowed the land of Qingya County to do things, but he only gave me so little money! Is he sending a beggar away?"

An angry voice came from the house.

"Why should the boss be angry with him? That Fan is just a crude warrior, and his life is over. What else can he pursue besides money? But you are different, boss. As long as you do a good job this time, you may be able to get a chance to be crowned king and prime minister in the future."

Another voice sounded, sounding like an aide to the boss.

"I know the truth, but I just can't swallow this breath."

The tone of the initial voice slowed down a lot.

"If the boss really can't swallow this breath, why not try this method, we can"

Bang! !

Before he finished speaking, the window next to him was knocked open, and a figure broke in like a ghost. Broken wood and paper-cut window decorations were scattered everywhere. The person who sneaked in didn't say a word, grabbed the throat of the person who was speaking, and twisted it hard.

There was only a "click" sound, and the master who was still talking the previous second was silent the next second, and his neck was twisted to the back of his head.

Killed the wrong person?

Chen Luo glanced at the clothes of the man in his hand and frowned slightly.

He came in following the sound, but he didn't expect to kill only one master. Fortunately, the other person didn't escape, so he could kill him again.

"Who are you?!"

Magistrate Lou retreated with horror.

He had seen many fierce thieves, but this kind of thieves who wanted to kill people right away was the first time he met one.

Could it be that he came here just to kill people? I still have so much silver to spend...

Chen Luo didn't mean to talk nonsense with him, he always did things cleanly.

With a flick of his hand, the master who died was thrown out like garbage. His body hit the table and chairs and rolled to the side, ruining the two pots of tea on the table.

Chen Luo was too lazy to pick up their "brains" for such useless people who didn't even know martial arts. These two weaklings were still thinking about plotting against the court master. It was thanks to the court's rules that they were protected. Otherwise, they would not have been able to pay for their suicidal behavior with ten lives.

Magistrate Lou, who had sensed the murderous aura on Chen Luo, had already retreated to the corner of the wall. Looking at Chen Luo who was walking towards him, he opened his mouth and prepared to beg for mercy.

"Good man"

Before he could finish his words, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he lost the whereabouts of the person in front of him. The next moment, a sharp pain came from his chest, and then he flew straight up.

With a muffled sound of "boom", Magistrate Lou's fat body hit the back wall directly, his eyes widened, and a streak of blood slid down the corner of his mouth.

"It's no use calling you a good man."

Chen Luo retracted his bloody palm, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that Magistrate Lou had some martial arts skills, but he didn't expect that he was really just an ordinary scholar.

The body slid down the wall, leaving a shocking bloodstain.

After killing someone, Chen Luo looked around the room and fixed his eyes on the table. There was a full purse, all of which were silver notes of 1,000 taels. The initial estimate was at least 100,000 taels!

So much money? !

Chen Luo was also a little surprised.

This is not a small amount. Ordinary people may never see so much money in their lifetime.

Recalling what the two discussed before coming in, he suddenly understood where the money came from. Most likely, it was the money sent by the military commander named Fan to "send away beggars."

"So much money is just to send away beggars? Where can beggars make so much money! Why don't you tell me."

Chen Luo had a new understanding of the concept of money of the group of people like Magistrate Lou.

He took two steps forward and put the purse in his arms. The silver notes in it are all bearer notes. Magistrate Lou and his people naturally couldn't take registered silver notes when doing such things.

After collecting the money, Chen Luo glanced outside the door.

There was a lot of noise just now, but no one has come yet. It can be seen that Magistrate Lou has a high prestige on weekdays. Ordinary servants dare not care about the master's affairs, dare not listen or ask. Another powerful breath did not show any signs of moving. I don't know whether it didn't hear it or didn't want to care.

In this way, Chen Luo was not so anxious to leave.

Junior Sister He has not been found yet. How can it be justified to come in and rob some money as soon as she hears it?

He looked around and fixed his eyes on the bookcase at the back.

Chen Luo walked over and opened the bookcase, took a book and flipped through it. It was about love and romance, and it was of little value. Skipping this book, Chen Luo flipped through several more. It's a pity that most of them are ordinary books read by literati.

Chen Luo walked to the second bookcase and took down the books on it.

This cabinet is full of account books.

The records are very detailed, including the income and expenditure of various departments in Qingya County, as well as evidence of some important personnel accepting bribes. If placed in the officialdom of Qingya County, it can be exchanged for a lot of money, but in Chen Luo's case, these things are no different from waste paper.

The third one, the fourth one.

He walked all the way to the last bookcase and finally found something different.

"What is this?"

Chen Luo flipped open the book on the outside and took out a wooden box from the secret compartment inside, which was locked with a copper lock.

'Is it a treasure! '

Chen Luo suddenly became excited.

So without saying anything, he poured his internal energy into his fingers and squeezed them hard.

With a click, the copper lock broke.

"Letter?"

The contents of the box disappointed Chen Luo a little. There was neither a treasure nor a martial arts secret book inside, but a thick stack of letters.

Chen Luo roughly flipped through a few letters and soon caught an important name from them.

King Ning!
