"Why is this happening?" The middle-aged servant was a little surprised. Since it was okay for others to be greedy, why did his old man become greedy but something happened?

"I'll tell you in detail. Although the old man has always had good political achievements and the people have lived well under his rule, his greed is also famous. He often robs merchants along the way to make money, which makes the merchants who come to Beiqing Prefecture suffer and hate them very much."

"In the third year he took office as prefect, a Taoist came to the door and wanted to see the old man, saying that he wanted to give him a treasure."

"But the gate of the prefect is not that easy to enter. At that time, the guardian did not allow him to enter at all. But at this time, the old man came back. He thought that this Taoist was also interesting, so he took him into the mansion to meet him alone."

"After the Taoist met the old man, he took out a golden toad and said that this was the treasure."

"When the old man saw this man take out a golden toad, he got angry. He felt that this man was really fooling him and wanted someone to drive him out."

"But the Taoist immediately stopped him, and then pointed to the golden toad. The old man was surprised to find that the golden toad was actually spitting a coin."

"Then he picked up the coin and found that the coin was actually made of gold. Then he continued to look at the golden toad, and found that it was still spitting out the coins made of gold."

"So the old man became greedy and asked the Taoist to give him the golden toad, but the Taoist wanted 383,621 taels of silver. As soon as the number was reported, the old man was startled."

"Because he checked the accounts not long ago, the cash in his mansion was only 383,621 taels of silver. How could the old man give this silver? Naturally, he refused."

"But he wanted this golden toad again, so he had an idea and immediately asked someone to beat the Taoist out and snatch his golden toad."

"The Taoist was indeed beaten out, but within a few days, all the silver in the mansion was stolen, which happened to be 383,621 taels of silver. This made the old man very angry and understood that it was very likely to be related to the Taoist priest."

"So I immediately sent someone to catch the Taoist priest, but they turned the entire Beiqing Prefecture into the sky, but the Taoist priest didn't even see a shadow."

"The old man stopped looking for him, and he knew he had met a master. Fortunately, the golden toad was still spitting out money every day, so he would not suffer any loss, so he would not pursue the matter."

"But who knew that one day when the old man was feeding the golden toad, the golden toad actually jumped out of the cage. The old man was anxious and went to catch it. However, the golden toad jumped faster and the old man couldn't catch up with it."

"So the old man asked the people in the mansion to catch it, but the golden toad was very clever and had never been caught. He jumped from the bedroom to the hall, then from the hall to the front door, and finally jumped out of the front door."

"But what is strange is that no matter how old master and the others chased, they could not catch up with the golden toad. Then the golden toad jumped over the trouble, jumped over the city gate, and finally jumped to Shaqingjiang next to Beiqing Mansion."

"After a moment, I jumped into the river."

"This..." the middle-aged servant couldn't speak in surprise, and then asked, "What's next?"

The young servant picked up the gourd "Gulu" and "Gulu" from the side and drank a few sips of water to relieve the dryness of his throat. Then he continued: "At that time, the old man was already anxious and naturally jumped into Shaqing River."

"Is that old man dead?"

"Of course, Sha Qingjiang is bottomless. Where can people live if they jump down?"

"Even so, the Zhou family will not be defeated and will be like this." said the middle-aged servant.

"Hey, it's naturally impossible to lose so easily, but the strange things that followed caused the Zhou family to lose."

"It is said that when the old man was caught after his death, others were like toads, with round eyes, crooked mouth, fat belly, short limbs, and dense bumps on the body like a toad."

"At that time, many people saw the scene of the old man chasing the toad, and they all followed, and they also saw the scene of the old man being caught. At this moment, Beiqing Prefecture was in an uproar and everyone was frightened. The court sent officials to investigate."

"But who knew that the reason for the old man's death was not found, but the old man's corruption was found. He immediately confiscated the Zhou Mansion and the Zhou Mansion fell."

Speaking of this, the young servant looked at the middle-aged servant with shock and speechless look, and then smiled. It was obvious that he felt very helpful to the middle-aged servant's expression.

But he was obviously not satisfied, so he released another even more surprising news: "It is said that after the old man died, Beiqing Mansion began to be haunted. The sound of toads in the middle of the night was heard throughout Beiqing Mansion, and dozens of people died at that time."

"The death looks like the old man, they are like the toad. The coroner took the autopsy and found that these people were drowned. This is very strange, because they are all at home, so how could they drown."

"If you meet someone from Beiqing Mansion in the future, you can ask me. This matter is a big deal and the government can't suppress it."

"This...it's better to say less about this now." The middle-aged servant fought a cold war and looked around, feeling like an evil ghost.

"Hehe..." The young servant smiled, which made the middle-aged servant talk about some other things, and then time passed by little by little.

But what the two of them didn't see was that at some point, the eyes of the Bodhisattva Buddha statue in the hall had turned into two blood-filled eyeballs, staring at them without turning their eyes.

Then time passed quickly, and it didn't take too long before it was dawn and Li Si woke up.

He got up and stretched, then patted the dust on his body, then slapped the clothes he used as a pillow and put them in the bookcase.

His movement also woke up some people opposite him, who were looking at him with vigilant eyes.

Li Si ignored these people and walked out of the temple under the gaze of these people. After he went out, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. The air after the rain seemed particularly fresh, and he could also ask the smell of grass and trees from the air, making people feel extremely comfortable.

Then he did not hesitate, and bypassed the carriage and walked down the mountain. After a while, he arrived at the official road.

After arriving at the official road, Li Si carefully identified the direction and walked towards Jingning County.

At this time, the official road was not that easy to walk on, and he could still touch a puddle from time to time. In order to avoid this puddle, he walked much slower.
