The magistrate Wanping was very happy. He made the abacus "crackling" sound in the morning, and this time he could make a fortune.

Dingguo Duke's house was destroyed, Xu Ziguang's concubine was killed, and the guards were beaten. Dingguo Duke Xu Xigao would definitely not give up and wanted to kill a few people to take revenge. Yesterday, he arrested so many tenants, and a lot of them were left to give revenge to the Dingguo Duke. He would never let them leave the county government without squeezing out oil.

The magistrate of Wanping was planning, and the yamen runners came to report that a distinguished guest was visiting. He was shocked and said that Duke Ding was coming so fast. Fortunately, he had found the person who led the charge yesterday and had some explanation to Duke Ding.

He went out to greet him, but saw two beautiful children coming out of the carriage, all wearing python robes.

The magistrate of Wanping was shocked. The Ming Dynasty once rewarded many pythons, but they were usually given to the prince and the heroes. The two children were still young, so of course they could not be the heroes, so they must be the princes. At present, the county magistrate did not dare to neglect and hurriedly welcomed the two into the back hall.

The magistrate asked: "Where are the two little princes coming from? What's the matter with finding the small county?"

The two of them shook their heads together and said, "We are not princes."

A slightly taller child took out a document from his arms and said, "I am Zhu Cheng, a thousand household of Jinyiwei. This is my official document."

Another child said, "I am the younger brother of the current priest and have not yet been crowned king."

The magistrate inspected Zhu Cheng's official documents and confirmed that it was correct. He did not dare to let Zhu Youjian take out the evidence again. A thousand households are already a fifth-rank military post, and the rank is already a few levels higher than him. There is no need to create another fake prince.

When the magistrate saw Zhu Cheng take out his official documents and knowing that he had a serious business, he was definitely not just gossiping and making trouble, so he said seriously: "Does Lord Zhu have anything to do if he needs to handle it?"

Zhu Cheng said: "I am the chief manager of the imperial village in the west of Jing. I heard that Guixian captured the tenants of the imperial village yesterday and came to ask for it."

The magistrate was stunned. He could not have imagined that the young Jinyiwei Qianhu was the chief supervisor of the imperial village in Xi of Jing, and he could not have thought that he was a tenant who came to bail to smash the house of Dingguo Gong. He couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "Original, the lord had his life, and the subordinates had to obey, but this matter involved the nobles in the capital. If I handed over the person to you, how could I explain it to them?"

Zhu Cheng said coldly: "You can't control this matter."

The magistrate said, "Although the lower-ranking officials are low, they are also ordered by the saint to serve as a shepherd, and they have the responsibility to defend the land and protect the people. The imperial village in Jingxi is a royal manor, but the tenant is not a royal person. If it is a crime, it is handled by the local officials. How can I say that I can't control this matter?"

Zhu Cheng clapped his hands and smiled, "So you can take care of this matter. Well, Huping and Guoqi, take those two maps to the magistrate."

The magistrate looked at the two huge maps and asked in confusion: "What does Lord Zhu mean?"

Without waiting for Zhu Cheng to answer, Zhu Youjian interrupted and said Qiu Tianshi's iron mouth.

After hearing a few words, the magistrate fell down after sweating on his back, thinking, "This matter involves dozens of lords and emperors, and neither side is easy to mess with. If you are not careful, your little shrimp may be gnawed by them so much that even the scum is left."

The magistrate stood up and bowed to Zhu Cheng and said, "Mr. Zhu, I was really sorry just now. I really can't control this matter. I will order people to release the tenants and take them back."

After saying that, the magistrate asked the yamen runners to raise the tenant from the cell and asked Zhu Cheng to take it back.

The magistrate thought about it and mustered up the courage to ask: "Which lords in Qinggui will definitely report to me in the future. Lord Zhu, please give me some advice, what kind of explanation should the subordinates give them?"

Zhu Cheng said: "You tell them the story of these two maps, and then tell them that the family has 10,000 taels of silver, a total of 260,000 taels of silver."

Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian took the tenants away and came to Wanping City Gate. Zhu Cheng asked the tenants to go back first, but he accompanied Zhu Youjian to stroll around the ancient city and enjoy the wind of the small city.

As soon as the afternoon arrived, Xu Xigao took a group of lords and rode straight to the county government.

The magistrate secretly complained in his heart. The victims here came out, and he didn't know whether what Zhu Cheng said was effective. Don't annoy these old men and remove their bones. He hurriedly accompanied the smile and welcomed the lords in.

As soon as Xu Xigao entered the door, he asked, "Where is the murderer? Hand it over, I will beat him to death."

The magistrate said: "Zhu Qianhu came over early in the morning and had all the criminals released on bail."

Xu Xigao stared at the magistrate's nose and cursed: "You useless thing. Our manor is in Wanping County. The manor was looted. It is up to you to arrest the murderer. But you were bribed by Zhu Cheng and released the murderer privately. Are you not afraid that we will join you together?"

The magistrate said: "Zhu Cheng has two maps in his hand. One is the map of the imperial village in the west of Jing. The address of the lords' house is connected, which is the word "death"; the other is the map of the urban area of ​​Beijing. The address of the mansion of the lords' mansion is connected, which is a new character. According to an old Taoist passing by, this is a magic array called the life and death array, which can absorb the vitality of the emperor and the people and transform it into the lifespan of the lords."

Xu Xigao's body shook and his face turned pale. How did he know that the address of the manor built by the Lords would be the same word?

The lords following Duke Ding were all stunned and shouted, "Coincidence, this is definitely a coincidence."

Xu Xigaoqiang calmed down and asked, "What else does Zhu Cheng leave behind?"

The magistrate said: "A family of 10,000 taels, a total of 260,000 taels of silver."

Xu Xigao said: "Can't you lose more? Is 200,000 taels not possible?"

The lords whispered, and Zhu Cheng agreed to pay 10,000 taels of silver for the family. It was a surprise. Unexpectedly, Xu Xigao suddenly became nervous and pushed the money he was about to get out.

The magistrate said: "It's useless to tell me, I'm just a messenger. For specific matters, you should ask Zhu Qianhu."

After leaving the county government office, all the lords accused Xu Xigao of why he wanted to push the money out.

Xu Xigao said: "What are you thinking about? We compensated Zhu Cheng for the 260,000 taels of silver, not Zhu Cheng for us. You don't need to think about it. Just relying on Zhu Cheng's personality that can only take advantage of the advantage but cannot suffer losses, may he pay us for it?"

One of the marquis was so angry that he stuttered: "I compensate... 10,000 taels, he... he... wants... he thinks beautifully!"

Xu Xigao said: "Listen to Zhu Cheng's message, if he doesn't pay him the money, he might have caused this to the emperor. Then the emperor is furious and we will be done."

Zhu Chunchen counted for a long time, "Oh, that's not right. There are 27 lords who participated in the dividing of the land in the imperial village. Why does Zhu Cheng just need to pay 260,000 taels of silver? Who can save this 10,000 taels?"

Xu Xigao said angrily: "Who else can you be? Isn't it just that coward Zhang Weixian. When you were dividing money, you came earlier than anyone else. If something happened, you ran away faster than anyone else."
