348 Overcalculating
There is no worry about the magical wine and elixir in Journey to the West that will cause you to be swollen to death by the spiritual energy after just one sip.
And if it is really an elixir, it doesn't even take this into consideration, and it doesn't qualify to call it an elixir.
Cui Hezhong naturally believed whatever Shi Zhongkui said.
Without hesitation, he unscrewed the lid of the gourd and took a big sip in front of Shi Zhongkui.
Then he covered the gourd, turned around and handed it to his trusted aide behind him, "You can share the six-yuan reward yourself."
The confidant looked at Cui Hezhong in shock, and saw that Cui Hezhong's face was flushed at this time, and his whole body was even exuding a trace of white mist.
One look at it and it was clear that he must have benefited greatly.
It wasn't until Cui Hezhong urged him that he took the wine gourd with trembling hands.
He kowtowed to Shi Zhongkui, held up the gourd high and shouted, "Thank you, sir. I will definitely protect Zhou to the death in this life."
After saying that, seeing Shi Zhongkui nodding, he and the other three Xiuyi guards who escaped from the grassland with Cui Hezhong shared the wine in the gourd equally.
His expression was as if he had drunk the nectar.
Shi Zhongkui smiled helplessly. He could have as much of this thing as he wanted, but for ordinary people, it was indeed no different from a magical elixir.
The purpose of sending this wine one after another is nothing more than to tell the outside world that I have good things, but if you want them, you must at least have a reasonable reason.
The better Dazhou is, the better the family and future generations who live in Dazhou will be in the future.
After the four embroidered guards finished drinking, they immediately felt like Cui Hezhong, with endless strength all over their bodies.
Moreover, the wound was not completely healed yet, but there was a faint itching sensation, and I immediately understood that the ambrosia must have worked.
A dozen other embroidered guards and people watching the excitement looked at Cui Hezhong and the five men with steam rising from their bodies. It was impossible to tell that they had received huge benefits.
I felt envious in my heart, looking at Shi Zhongkui as if he were looking at his ancestors.
But there was no doubt that Shi Zhongkui was an immortal. Wang Buli, Liu Buqi and others had already approached Baochai and others in a nine-top sedan chair.
Just the sudden appearance of these apparently heavenly soldiers and generals is enough to frighten anyone.
Shi Zhongkui waved his hand, and Cui Hezhong and a dozen other embroidered guards were carried aside by an invisible force.
He looked at the woman who was kneeling on the ground holding up the paper with a calm expression.
I thought to myself, ‘Trouble’.
Although I had been in Yunmeng Mountain for nearly two years, I suddenly saw an acquaintance injured, and he was only injured when I went deep into the grassland to find out the news, so I was rewarded with a gourd of spiritual wine.
But during this period, the woman kept kneeling and didn't move, nor did she raise her head to look up. Thinking about it, you can tell that this woman is very determined.
Or he is so disheartened that he doesn't care about anything other than filing a complaint.
He stretched his hand forward, and the paper flew straight into his hand without any wind.
When the people around him saw this, they couldn't help but get excited.
Accepting the petition means that Shi Zhongkui has accepted the case.
If it is a false accusation, this woman will definitely get nothing good from her.
On the contrary, the unlucky person is the accused.
And no one thinks that Shi Zhongkui can't bring down the accused person.
Everyone looked at Shi Zhongkui with bright eyes, who opened the paper and frowned to read it.
Before Shi Zhongkui ascended to heaven, he could already have a photographic memory.
At this time, it only takes more than ten seconds to read the two-hundred-word statement.
After reading it, I suddenly burst into laughter.
At this moment, the woman raised her head and looked at Shi Zhongkui, who was sitting high on the horse.
And the people around me felt a little stunned.
Then I suddenly realized that the girl who complained was really not ordinary good-looking.
Shi Zhongkui was also shocked by this woman's appearance.
Unfortunately, the more beautiful this woman was, the more suspicious Shi Zhongkui became.
For such a beautiful girl to block the road and complain, do you really think you are a fool?
Or are you a hungry ghost in lust?
Staring at the woman, he asked, "I have accepted this case, but now I want to know, who asked you to come to Beijing to find me and block the street to complain?"
This case is actually very simple. The Zhen family in Jiangnan was probably worried that the emperor would not let go of the deficit in the household department.
After the death of the Supreme Emperor, he pursued the millions of silver owed by the Zhen family.
In addition, Mrs. Zhen was ill and never recovered, so she had no choice but to start looking for a target last year.
On the pretext of selling illegal salt, they robbed and robbed the Liu and Zhao families in Yangzhou. Not only that, they also wanted to kill people and silence them.
It's a pity that the direct clan members of the Liu and Zhao families were killed, but they didn't know that the Zhao family had an illegitimate son in his 40s who had been taking care of the maritime business.
The woman in front of me who came to complain was the daughter of the illegitimate son.
Shi Zhongkui didn't even need to guess, he knew that this woman was an abandoned child pushed out by his biological father.
Of course, Zhao Lan'er should be willing to take this risk.
Otherwise, on the way to Beijing, if you are not careful, you might encounter someone who is chasing you.
Moreover, if you don't meet Shi Zhongkui when you go out, it will be dangerous if you delay for a long time.
Even if Shi Zhongkui doesn't care about this matter, after being exposed, let alone bringing down the Zhen family, her biological father and two younger brothers will have no choice but to hide overseas from now on.
In other words, her father and brother had actually left Dazhou, and their daughter, who was willing to risk revenge, went to Beijing to file a complaint.
The Zhen family had plotted against Shi Zhongkui several times, so of course he was willing to give it a try.
But Shi Zhongkui was not that easy to talk to. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew there was something wrong with it.
So what he wanted to know most was who gave the orphans of the Zhao family advice.
Zhao Lan'er wanted to speak several times, but finally gritted her teeth, put her hands on the ground, knelt on the ground and said, "Since your Excellency has taken over this case, my daughter's wish has come true. I only ask that you, Your Excellency, seek justice for the Zhao and Liu families."
"justice?"
Shi Zhongkui sneered, "I don't need to investigate the matter of your family and the Liu family selling illegal salt until it is true.
Otherwise, no matter how rampant the Jiangnan Zhen family is, they would not have the guts to care about the Liu and Zhao family's wealth.
Moreover, you two can force the Zhen family to think about murder and silence. Needless to say, you are not a kind person."
Zhao Laner's face turned pale, although the petition did not mention that the Zhao family had maritime business.
But if Shi Zhongkui really investigates, not to mention Xiuyiwei, there are many people in the civil service and noble system who will take the initiative to investigate.
You can't hide this matter if you want to.
Zhao Laner quickly understood that although Shi Zhongkui did have issues with the Zhen family, he did not care about the grievances between the Liu and Zhao families.
It was even believed that the Liu and Zhao families were guilty of death.
Sure enough, I heard Shi Zhongkui say quietly, "In the peaceful and prosperous times, there were people who dared to take things by force and kill people to silence them. Now that I know about it, I naturally won't let it go.
But if the Liu and Zhao families have done evil in the past, I will also order people to investigate.
If you don't say anything, even if the Zhao family's orphans escape to the ends of the earth, I will be able to capture them and bring them back.
At that time, the guilty will be punished, the innocent will be given some money, and they will become a rootless person who has no ancestral home, cannot join the clan, and cannot enter the genealogy."
