Seeing this, Bai Yunhang patted Zhang Yilong's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect to encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's a pity that I didn't bring enough money on him. Butler Zhang, go home and bring me a fifty taels of silver! If there is still cash in the family, the more it will be better..."

Zhang Yilong was a clever man and immediately understood what he meant: "This is a big case. We don't have enough people around us. Go back to the yamen to find at least fifty constables. Anyway, the more you get better."

He immediately gave a tribute and ran back to the yamen to gather people together, but someone else laughed at Bai Yunhang: "This fellow Taoist, this kind of elixir is worth hundreds of gold, you are too stingy..."

Bai Yunhang just smiled: "The way to practice Taoism is toward Taoism..."

Zhao Xuefen was puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask more questions. She just stared at Bai Yunhang's slightly handsome face. Soon, Zhang Yilong came over with more than 60 fully armed men.

The public had already had experience in this investigation and shouted loudly: "Clog the back door and don't let anyone go! You are still guilty of killing the nine clans of the whole family, and you will not surrender..."

Before the Taoist and fellow Taoists could understand, the public had already rushed into the crowd, put the rain-like sticks down, and pressed them on the ground without asking the reason. The old Taoist in the Four Seas was about to escape, but was trapped by eight detectives and beaten to death. Then they tied them tightly. Bai Yunhang grabbed his collar and asked loudly, "Where are you hiding the Five Stones?"

Zhang Yilong and the two men were already happily running out with a big box in their arms: "Sir, a big case! A big case! This is the first time I have seen it in Dengfeng County for so many years!"

After Mao Yutian carefully inspected, he even reported the good news: "Sir! There are so many five-stone scattered bodies, not to mention Dengfeng County, even our Kaifeng Prefecture has never been... Our Henan Province..."

He thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "This province has seized so many people at once, only two or three times... I have solved such a major case and have a bright future!"

Bai Yunhang rebuked majesticly: "You are so brave to sell Wushi Powder publicly! Take it back to the county government!"

The fellow Taoists shook their heads repeatedly, and while struggling, they cursed: "Dog Official, this is obviously an immortal pill, why is the Five Stones San?"

Several stubborn men lit up the criminals and stood aside and whispered: "After handling the case, one person will be fined twenty taels, at least six or seven hundred taels!"

When County Magistrate Bai heard this, he immediately kicked him and cursed: "Is this Wushisan the same thing as being depressed? This is a serious crime!"

The criminals were far away, but they were not afraid of being heard by them. Bai Yunhang said angrily: "This is not something that can be done with just two fines! The sale of the Five Stones is a serious crime to behead! Everyone has to get one hundred taels of silver!"

He has elevated the nature of the case from an economic case to a criminal case. Several public officials have praised the county magistrate as smart and far-sighted. This time, everyone makes a fortune together.

Zhao Xuefen was almost scared to tears by this sudden change. Fortunately, Li Yushuang was very soothed. She finally calmed down and asked in an inauspicious voice: "Is the immortal art my husband learned the last time Wushi San?"

Bai Yunhang kicked the old Taoist in the West heavily and said hatefully: "This demon Tao is very harmful to others! The whereabouts of the husband must fall on him! Huh?"

He looked around for a long time before he found that the arrested criminal was not in the trace of Zhu Qinghai and Zhu Daxia. This guy was very slippery and ran away at some point. He couldn't help but curse softly: "So many people can't catch a single person, they're all a bucket!"

"Brothers, go check the stolen goods for me!"

This time, the search was quite a bit of a loss. More than 700 taels of silver and silver notes and other valuables were found, as well as a large number of Taoist things such as Taoist books and paper talismans. In addition, the old Taoist in the Four Seas actually raised two pretty women in the Taoist temple. The magistrate Bai whispered to Zhang Yilong: "Take all the prisoners and stolen goods back to the yamen for me! The brothers are indispensable. Be careful of the new people in Xionger Mountain. Don't do this stolen goods..."

He didn't say anything, Zhang Yilong understood what he meant, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, I'll sleep in the yamen tonight, so I'll be foolproof!"

Zhao Xuefen heard Zhang Yilong’s bold statement and gave a big gift gratefully and said, “Thank you, sir, for your hard work in the affairs of the people… There is no good thing to say. I will ask the chef to make some side dishes to comfort the adults later, and I will be rewarded in the future!”

Bai Yunhang was hungry and immediately smiled and said, "I'm going to bother my wife first!"

After this drastic change, Zhao Xuefen could not afford to eat, but the case was handled by the county magistrate Bai, so he could only smile and invite Bai Yunhang and his two wives home.

Bai Yunhang had a very delicious meal on the table, but Zhao Xuefen was a little reluctant to eat. After taking two small mouthfuls, he asked again: "Sir! When will these demons be tried?"

Bai Yunhang looked up at the lady who had always been weak. His eyes were filled with a dark look of firmness and said in his heart: "That fat man who is ignorant of life and death is a blessing. He married this virtuous and good wife! If it were Yushuang, Xuefei could treat me like this, and we would be willing to die!"

Thinking of this, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Please rest assured Mrs. Xu. I will start the trial overnight and guarantee that I will find a lively Xu Dong family!"

Zhao Xuefen gave a big tribute and said, "Thank you for your kindness. If your husband has nothing to do, the little girl will take the initiative without authorization. I am willing to give 30% of my Xu family property to you..."

Bai Yunhang was shocked and shook his hands repeatedly and said, "This is impossible!"

Li Yushuang and Guo Xuefei also said, "Sister, you are so hilarious... My family is a man in the officialdom. Didn't you harm him? If someone writes a book and he loses his official position, I'm afraid... what are we talking about these things!"

Zhao Xuefen gritted her silver teeth, her starry eyes were like lightning, and she said softly: "My family property is worth about ten thousand taels of silver, but what's the use of not being able to exchange these property for husbands! Please ask Lord Bai and two sisters to make me fulfill my wish!"

Li Yushuang and Guo Xuefei were already moved. County Magistrate Bai was about to speak, but he wanted to speak but stopped. Zhao Xuefen's tone was very gentle, but he had the determination to burn his boats in his words. At this time, she said again: "Mr. Bai, as long as you have your heart to find your husband, the young woman is willing to give half of the property to the adult..."

Bai Yunhang was about to speak, but Mao Yutian ran into the door and said a few words to Bai Yunhang. Bai Yunhang's face changed. After a long time, he gave a gusto and squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Madam Xu, please feel sorry!"

When Zhao Xuefen heard this bolt from the blue, she immediately lost her face and she burst into tears. Bai Yunhang could only say bitterly: "Madam Xu, the past has passed away, so please feel sorry for the way..."

Zhao Xuefen cried sadly. Li Yushuang and Guo Xuefei enlightened her for a long time before she raised her head with tears on her face: "Master Bai, where is the body of her husband?"

Bai Yunhang didn't dare to look at the heartbroken tearful eyes. He sighed before saying, "The body of Xu Dong's family is buried behind the Taoist temple!"

Zhao Xuefen couldn't help but scream: "Yinglong, my husband!"

It turned out that Xu Yinglong went to Chongyang Temple to practice the immortal method three months ago. After taking Wushi San, he kept dancing and roaring. Not long after, he fell to the ground. Several Taoists thought that his medicine had passed, but half an hour later found out that he had died. The old Taoists in the four seas did not dare to make a spoil their business, so they immediately discussed the strategies for the aftermath with a few Taoists.

These fellow Taoists were also very scared. The old Taoist in the Four Seas claimed that "Fellow Daoist Xu entered the country quickly and had already cultivated the Nascent Soul. Unexpectedly, he suffered a heavenly tribulation..."

Fortunately, no one knew about Xu Yinglong and they met. Zhao Xuefen only knew that Xu Yinglong was walking with several fellow Taoists this time, and did not know which fellow Taoists were. Finally, he decided to hide the matter. It only made Zhao Xuefen call Tiantian and Didiwang. This time, he brought the public back to the yamen, and immediately a timid person exposed the matter.

Zhao Xuefen cried for a long time again, and finally knelt in front of Bai Yunhang: "Master Bai, please make the decision for the people!"

Bai Yunhang nodded and said, "There is no forgiven for this monster in the Four Seas to dare to sell the Five Stones! Please rest assured Mrs. Xu!"

Zhao Xuefen sobbed again and said, "Sir! This matter is definitely not one of the four monsters in this world. There must be a behind-the-scenes instruction. Please punish me together!"

Bai Yunhang smiled but couldn't speak. Zhao Xuefen said this casually, but now she saw that Bai Yunhang was a little hesitant, and immediately knelt down and choked up, "Sir, I just want you to be the master of the people!"

Li Yushuang blamed: "Yunhang, this is a great thing to eliminate harm for the people. It can also help Miss Zhao to seek justice, so why not do it?"

Guo Xuefei was very sceptical, and she said, "Husband, are there any difficulties? Let's just discuss it carefully!"

After saying this, Zhao Xuefen immediately looked at Bai Yunhang with anticipation: "Sir, as long as you can avenge your husband, the young woman will give you all the money and property!"

Bai Yunhang shook his head and said, "I, Mr. Bai, aren't the one who takes advantage of others' danger to put down the slaughter. Yushuang and Xuefei, since we are husband and wife, we have nothing to say!"

"This case is too much involved. The first one is involved in the Tianlong Gang. However, I am an official in the court and I am not afraid. But this time I also involve some officials..."

Li Yushuang immediately understood Yunhang's meaning. Bai Yunhang was just a small county magistrate in Dengfeng, and he had a person who was even bigger than him. Zhao Xuefen hugged Bai Yunhang's legs and said, "Sir, I just want you to say one thing. The young woman is willing to be a slave or a horse to repay her great kindness!"

Zhao Xuefen was already weak, and at this time she looked even more pitiful and even more tearful. Bai Yunhang held her smooth slender hands and said, "Madam Xu, please get up first, let's sit down and make a long-term plan!"

Zhao Xuefen finally stood up, Li Yushuang wiped her tears with a wet towel and persuaded him: "Although the Xu Dong family has left, it still leaves you with such a big family business. If this matter is reported, those people will come to the door in the afternoon... Besides, I have to take good care of the Xu Dong family!"

Zhao Xuefen finally forced her to stop her sadness, Bai Yunhang said softly: "This case is a troublesome. My subordinates tried it for a while and actually involved the Promoter of Luoyang Prefecture!"

According to the order system, each prefecture has one procurator, who is in charge of the entire prefecture's criminal prison, and is the seventh rank of the magistrate of Bai County. However, the officials in this prefecture are always a little higher than those in the county. Moreover, Dengfeng County is under Kaifeng Prefecture, and it is difficult to intervene in the case of Luoyang Prefecture. However, Zhao Xuefen said with a little firmness: "Mr. Bai, I don't care what kind of procurator he is, I only know that my family wants to avenge my husband!"

Bai Yunhang smiled bitterly again and said, "This matter is not that simple. There are many officials involved. I heard that the commander of a certain prefecture in Henan is involved!"

The level of the commander is much higher than that of Bai Yunhang. He is from a fifth-rank official position and is in charge of the troops of the first mansion. Zhao Xuefen stared at Bai Yunhang and asked, "I dare to ask Lord Bai when will this case be handled!"

County Magistrate Bai did not expect that this case would involve so many officials. In the officialdom, the officials should protect each other. If he offended his boss due to this case, his future future would be ruined. Therefore, he hesitated and said, "Madam, don't be anxious. I will go and ask General Yu Xiao for advice immediately!"

General Yu Xiao was a military officer of the fourth rank. He was knowledgeable and had many aid supporters in the court. County Magistrate Bai thought of him. Although he did not dare to say that he was foolproof, he was always 20% sure.

Immediately ignored Zhao Xuefen's resentful gaze that could kill people. County Magistrate Bai first went back to the yamen to make a report, and then quickly walked to General Yu Xiao's military camp. After getting his name and name, several personal soldiers led him into the tent.

The military tent was very simple. General Yu Xiao saw that County Magistrate Bai walked in, his face looked faint, and waved his hand to ask Bai Yunhang to sit down without saying a word.

Bai Yunhang immediately submitted the report, which was carefully prepared by him. When he first solved the case, he was already planning a draft. Although it was a meritorious person who asked for meritorious service to investigate and handle the Wushisan case, he praised General Yu Xiao and listed him as the first.

Of course, General Yu would also give in to the Su Association a presentation to ask Bai Yunhang for his contribution. The amount of General Yu's presentation was incomparable to Bai Yunhang's own writing.

General Yu Xiao was happy at first, and then his face became solemn. He asked: "How many Five Stones were seized this time?"

Bai Yunhang replied: "According to my husband's words, our mansion has never seized such a crowd!"

General Yu had a mysterious expression, and he asked, "Then why are you here?"

Bai Yunhang said mysteriously: "This case involves many officials. Please give me advice on how to deal with the aftermath!"

General Yu was shocked, and his originally white face turned a little more rosy: "Mr. Bai, this matter must be investigated and dealt with well! If it is done well, it will be a great merit, and Yuchen will also benefit from it! Just go and deal with this case, and I will support you!"

General Yu Xiao pointed out Baiyun's Way again: "You sent someone to send the five stones that were investigated this time to the prefect of Kaifeng Lin, and then attached a letter of request for merit. I will also send a personal soldier to take your ride to report to Suhui!"

Bai Yunhang did not understand General Yu's intention, but he still responded. General Yu's expression was faint and looked at Bai Yunhang: "Mr. Bai, I am asking for me for you, and I can guarantee that the Suhui Office can remember your name from more than a hundred county magistrates!"

Praise each other is the best strategy. County Magistrate Bai realized that this peer had a very deep cunning state. General Yu Xiao said again: "These five stones are scattered in your county government. I'm afraid there will be many people who are jealous! At least it can be worth nearly a thousand taels of silver, but this thing cannot be used as money. It's really hot, but once it is handed over to Su Hui's office, he will naturally come in handy..."

Bai Yunhang finally asked: "Why should I hand it over to Prefect Lin first..."

However, before General Yu Xiao’s answer, he suddenly realized that it was a taboo to report the officialdom’s middle and foreign-level report, and General Yu Xiao’s question did not answer his question: “Mr. Bai, I thought about it! Since you are willing to handle this Wushisan case for me, you should say some words!"

"These five stones are scattered in your hands, and they are worth no more than half of the silver. Besides, this is really something that cannot be stuck. No matter how brave you are, you will become a soft-legged shrimp when you become addicted. I don't know how many people have lost their family because of this, but when Su Hui handled it, it turned into a snowflake silver. Can you tell why this is?"

General Yu's tone was plain, and Bai Yunhang also answered plainly: "Please give advice to General Yu!"

"We have always forbidden Wushisan from the Dashun Dynasty, but Lord Cheng can use it!"

Bai Yunhang interrupted, "Western Expedition Army?"

General Yu Xiao nodded slightly: "That's right, Lord Cheng led the troops to fight the west, and the troops of tens of thousands of people spent money to flow. It costs 400,000 taels a month. Su Huiban is Lord Cheng's favorite disciple, so he will respond to all requests!"

He never talked about the key point: "If you hand over the five stones to Lord Su, he can hand over the real gold and silver to Lord Cheng. Although the amount is not large and not too small, how can Su Hui do not remember your name!"

Bai Yunhang always felt that General Yu was vague and could not make any real point, but was limited to his identity, so he could only listen carefully. General Yu said the truth at this time: "Although Lord Cheng respects Confucius and Mencius' ways, he will not be able to get along with the money. Moreover, these five stones are scattered in the southwest than silver... You should know that there are many barbarian tribes who cannot spend even if they have silver. They only need salt and cloth, but these five stones are scattered in these barbarian tribes, which are better than these barbarians... But this is also the sin of the remnants of the previous dynasty and the rebels!"

"After they rushed into the southwest, they promoted the Five Stones everywhere to raise military funds. Countless people were addicted to the Five Stones. Even the savages in the mountains were harmed, and now they are even more attempting to poison the world..."

The remaining troops of the Ming Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops to divide the military pay in the southwest, so the production and sale of Wushi San was one of its great sources of wealth. However, the consumption capacity of the southwest market was limited after all. Therefore, the previous dynasty colluded with people from the rivers and lakes to secretly smuggle Wushi San from Zhongyuan to raise military pay. General Yu Xiaojun said: "A box of Wushi San for 200 taels is only worth a hundred taels of silver in Yunnan. When it arrived in Huguang, it had become six hundred taels. When it was transported to our Henan, it would be worth more than a thousand taels of silver. The price would be higher when it went north! I don't know how much military pay was raised for the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, so this dynasty banned Wushi San, and buying and selling ten taels is a death penalty!"

Bai Yunhang changed the nature of this case from an economic case to a criminal case, and General Yu Xiao changed the characterization from a criminal case to a political case: "The Suhui Office has always strictly investigated Wushisan. Like the Sihai Monk Dao dared to sell a large amount of Wushisan, it can be said that it is unheard of. I believe that some officials have colluded with the enemy and must be punished strictly!"

"If this case is assigned by Kaifeng Prefecture, Prefect Lin and I are of the same grade as me. When I asked for me, I naturally forgot Yuchen's name, but you, County Magistrate Bai, is a person with a heart! Brother Bai just go and deal with such a case of cooperating with the enemy. I will borrow your half-palm flag soldiers at that time!"

Bai Yunhang was so happy that he couldn't stop talking: "Thank you, General Yu! Thank you, General Yu!"

"As long as there is real evidence, let alone some small officials of the seventh and eighth rank, we can defeat him even if the official Yin of the government! If there is a suspect, don't care about his rank, and don't care about which official he is. I will first arrest him and ask him for interrogation. I will support you! According to my estimate, there are a lot of five stones shipped to Henan this time, at least twenty or thirty boxes. If you investigate and get it done, you will send tens of thousands of taels of silver to Su Huiban. How can he not be happy?"

Bai Yunhang was happy. His yamen had raised more than a hundred officials, and the monthly food and salary expenses were very large. He just took this opportunity to search in other counties.

He hurried back to the yamen to write a letter of request for merit, and asked Zhang Yilong to hire a large cart overnight to bring the seized Wushisan to Kaifeng Prefecture. He explained: "Zhang Dianshi, you should bring a few more capable officials to the Lin Gong Yin. Don't mess up this matter. I even attached the letter of your promotion to the letter of request for merit!"

As he said that, County Magistrate Bai took out the report requesting a meritorious person to be promoted to Zhang Yilong for a look. Zhang Yilong saw that his name was on it, and he was full of energy. County Magistrate Bai explained: "This matter has not been approved, so don't spread it, so that no one can ruin the matter..."

"Sir! I understand! I understand!"

General Yu Xiao’s personal soldiers also rushed over with a letter of request for merit. Bai Yunhang personally sent them onto the cart and then rushed back to Xu’s house.

Bai Yunhang asked a pretty maid a few questions and realized that Guo Xuefei and Li Yushuang had just returned. Only the wife was crying alone in the back garden for some reason. Bai Yunhang nodded and walked into the garden with the maid softly. Zhao Xuefen was still sobbing under the moon. The cold moonlight shone on her, making her look more and more lonely and beautiful, and she was simply the god of Lishui Luo.

Bai Yunhang was about to speak, but saw a black shadow popping up beside Zhao Xuefen. The black shadow said, "Madam Xu, I'm bringing you a letter from your husband!"
Chapter completed!
