Chapter 5 Stealing jade and leaving a name

After staying in prison for a whole day, Cui Yunming felt suddenly happy when he was outside. Coupled with the fresh experience of Yang Shen leaving his body, he couldn't help it and flew to a higher place.

After flying for more than ten feet, Cui Yunming felt a little uncomfortable, so he stopped to look down at the county government. Nowadays, the county governments in various places are built according to regulations, facing north and south, with square layouts, and the same is true for Nan'an County Government.

Outside the gate is a wall of eight characters, with various notices posted on it, "The horoscope of the yamen opens south, don't come in if you have any reason or not." The saying comes from here.

On the central axis are the gate, ritual gate, lobby, second hall, inner house, back garden where the county magistrate lives; on the sub-lines on the east and west sides, there are the county magistrate's yamen, chief clerk's yamen, dictionary and history yamen, east and west flower hall, Yin Hotel, dining hall, prison, three-class and six-room room, etc.

Now the county magistrate, Dianshi, and all three squads and six wards have been paid. The county magistrate has also returned to the inner house to rest. Cui Yunming flew over in the direction of the inner house. He planned to use the qi-looking technique to see if the magistrate is a good or a bad official.

Nan'an County Magistrate Li Fengnian is about 24 or 5 years old this year. After a high school senior year, he came to Nan'an County to become an official. Now he has less than three months in office. His family has not yet received him and has no concubines, so he studied and entertained himself in the study.

After Cui Yunming went in, he saw that the clouds on his head were also white, with less black, and five-colored lights shrouded, but the black was much more than Zhuge Wolong, while the five-colored lights shrouded a lot.

It seems that this Magistrate Li is not as elegant as Zhuge Wolong, but fortunately, judging from the size of the black patches, he has accepted some unspoken rules in the county government at most, and he must have taken some money, but there is no such thing as a vain to harm people's lives.

After reading the books of sages for so many years, I have entered the officialdom again, and it is not uncommon to still retain a little righteous heart. Maybe he can let me go.

At this time, Li Fengnian was probably tired of reading books, so he yawned and put down the book and went back to the house to rest. Cui Yunming moved his mind and fell down and reached out to try to get the jade pendant he placed on the desk.

However, his fingers passed through the jade pendant directly and couldn't pick it up at all. Cui Yunming understood the truth after thinking for a moment. He smiled slightly and pulled a trace of divine power to cover his right hand. The originally transparent right hand condensed a little bit, and then reached out to the jade pendant and landed on his palm.

That's good. Didn't Song Weizhong slander me as a thief? Then if I come and commit crimes again, wouldn't my grievances be cleared?

So Cui Yunming put down his jade pendant for the time being, picked up a brush, dipped some ink on the inkstone, and wrote three big characters on the wall with the calligraphy he learned from Laomiao Zhu.

He immediately rolled up the jade pendant and left. He originally wanted to send the jade pendant back to the Thunder God Temple, but before he could leave the county government, his right side gradually faded and he was about to be unable to grasp the jade pendant.

Unexpectedly, after the Yang God left his body, he consumed divine power so much. He has not escaped from prison yet, and every trace of divine power is precious and cannot be used indiscriminately.

As soon as he thought of this, Cui Yunming stopped quickly, flew onto the roof, lifted up a tiles to hide the jade pendant. Anyway, he just wanted to take this opportunity to rescue himself. As long as Li Fengnian couldn't find the jade pendant, that would be enough.

Returning to the cell, letting the Yang Shen return to his body, and then entering the sea of ​​consciousness to check, he saw that the thirty-six thunder patterns on General Punishing the Evil Thunder King's chest had now been destroyed.

Yang Shen went out of his body to consume one, and used the Qi-seeking technique to check Zhuge Wolong and Li Fengnian to consume two more. Finally, the method was used to make the right hand solid.

Although the magic is good, it is a pity that the consumption is a bit large. I don’t know how this divine power is supplemented. Is it relying on incense to worship like opening the Lei Mansion?

Unfortunately, the villagers were scared by them and dared not come to burn incense and worship, and they still couldn't get verified. But it doesn't matter, when Li Fengnian sees the words in the study tomorrow, I can go out.

It was a little tired after struggling all day, and now that I have the Lei Mansion to rely on, I can finally feel at ease, so Cui Yunming lay on the straw and fell asleep.

The next morning, Liu Fu, a servant from the inner house, went to the study to clean the study. When he entered the door, he saw the three words "I'll come too". He felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly closed the study and went to the house to find someone.

Song Weizhong had been in the county government for many years and had long buried many eyes and ears. Liu Fu was sent to the back house to serve him, so that he could help him find out the news.

Yesterday, Song Weizhong falsely accused Cui Yunming of me as a thief. He also knew that he had a problem with me as a thief. Now he saw that there were three words on the wall of the study. He knew that something was wrong with this matter, so he quickly went to Song Weizhong to tell me.

After hearing this, Song Weizhong was not very panicked and immediately scolded, "What a panic? The magistrate hasn't seen it yet! I'll go to him later and talk about spring farming to hold him back. You can quickly wipe the words on the wall! By the way, look at what was lost in the study and find an opportunity to make up for it."

As long as we don’t have these words, we will be the thief who will be arrested in prison. Song Weizhong has a very rich experience in deceiving his superiors and concealing his subordinates, and he immediately thought of a solution.

"Master Song is so smart! You'll go now!" Liu Fu praised sincerely, and immediately disappeared from the panic he had just now. He went back to scrub the ink marks and counted the lost items.

When Song Weizhong and Li Fengnian came back from talking about Chungeng, they knew that the jade pendant had been lost in the study, which was even simpler. He still remembered the style and material of the jade pendant of Li Fengnian, which was not a rare object.

So I went home and found a piece of exactly the same from my box for Liu Fu to make up for it. In this way, except for him and Liu Fu, no one knew that the thief I came to visit the county government last night.

But you can't be careless. I came here in the past and only stole wealthy families. Why did I come to the county government this time? Did you know that we were so confused that we were so unfair?

Since that's the case, let Zhang San and the others pay attention to the evening, set up an ambush in the county government and take me down. Anyway, before I could report yesterday's incident, I could still ask the county magistrate for me when I caught him. As for Cui Yunming, I would say that he was my accomplice.

Song Weizhong called Zhang San to make arrangements, and then took precautions. Then he left the city and came outside the Thunder Temple. He listened to people praising the good Feng Shui here, and started to dream of his descendants having a high school Jinshi and returning home in glory in official robes.

At noon, Ma Cheng brought food to Cui Yunming and the others. This time there were several buns, including meat and vegetables. After Cui Yunming thanked him, he still distributed a few to Zhuge Wolong, and then asked Ma Cheng, "Brother Ma, is there any major event in the county yard today? Is the magistrate still in the yamen?"

He was also surprised. Logically speaking, the magistrate would definitely let him go when he found out that I was here, right? Why is there no news yet? Is he not in the yamen?
