Magistrate Wang was speechless for a moment.

The secret guards serving Emperor Yong'an are indeed considered to be the top talents, and they are really professional counterparts. It is perfect for the two of them to complete this job.

After a long silence, Magistrate Wang cleared his throat and gave instructions to the two secret guards, asking secret guard A to quickly pursue the stolen goods, while secret guard B continued to stay with Huo Yunchao in case of any accidents.

After all, the refugees' backgrounds are complicated, and if they are not protected, hostile forces may plant their own nails. It is not impossible to kill Huo Yunchao while he is not paying attention.

With lightning speed, Magistrate Wang sent out elite soldiers and generals to arrest those involved in the stolen official silver, including the main culprit who promoted the wealth-raising ritual among the common people.

After the main culprit was brought to justice, Magistrate Wang wanted to clean up the small ringleaders, but he was too busy and powerless.

The stolen official silver was the matter that concerned Emperor Yong'an the most. This matter was too involved, so Magistrate Wang must resolve it first.

Therefore, the burden of destroying the accomplices' dens and the principal criminals hiding the stolen money fell on Huo Yunchao's shoulders.

With two top talents with extremely rich experience, the stolen goods recovery work proposed by Huo Yunchao went extremely smoothly. In less than three days, they successfully removed all the dens hidden everywhere, and the stolen money and dirt were moved there one by one. County government.

Huo Yunchao mistakenly thought that the two secret guards were as lucky as cheating in a game. Little did he know that the truth was that the secret guard held the Yong'an Emperor's troop deployment token and had certain rights to dispatch troops and generals. It takes a professional to get the job done so smoothly.

Looking at the grain, gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and other stolen goods piled up in the warehouse, Huo Yunchao was speechless: "Those who were deceived were unwilling to believe it even if they were beaten to death. Their act of abandoning and killing their own daughter in vain was not an invitation for themselves. Wealth, but brought so much property to those bad people."

County Magistrate Wang listened to Huo Yunchao's sigh and sneered: "Those stupid people are crazy about getting rich. They have no regard for human ethics and have no humanity. The God of Wealth will not protect them."

Huo Yunchao believed that he was not a master of the world, but when he looked at the mountains of treasures, he couldn't help but said: "Sir, although I know I shouldn't say this, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do anything like that." If someone with a fortune like A Niu's got real benefits from the so-called wealth-attracting ritual, I might also believe the fallacy that the God of Wealth would only give me wealth if he gave up killing female infants."

He thought about the era in which he lived. It took the country decades to eradicate illiteracy and popularize nine-year compulsory education. However, there were still many people who believed that reading was useless. They believed in some heresies and evil gods after watching a few so-called preaching videos on the Internet, and were dismissed. The bad guys hiding in the Internet lead them by the nose and beat, smash, rob, and burn them in various ways.

What's more, the people at the bottom of the Dasheng Dynasty were illiterate and suffered from hunger and cold. The poorer they lived, the easier they were to be deceived and fooled. In order to survive, they had to find faith to support them through the difficult days.

Magistrate Wang frowned: "Yun Chao, what do you want to say?"

Huo Yunchao chuckled twice and said bluntly: "What I want to say is that the harder people live, the more they need faith. I have found a new faith for them. All I need is tangible and tangible benefits. . Sir, these stolen money and stolen goods were originally collected from the hands of the people, why not take this opportunity to distribute them all to the people as practical benefits to increase people's faith."

Magistrate Wang said angrily: "I think you are the money-spreading boy in front of the God of Wealth! You are thinking of ways to make me spread money all day long!"

"Sir, if you say so, aren't you the living God of Wealth?"

Huo Yunchao took advantage of the situation and made some jokes. Seeing that Magistrate Wang had no intention of objecting, he continued: "Sir, let's talk about serious things. Your Majesty has become the people's belief in living a good life, and there is no harm in all. These stolen money and stolen goods are obtained from It should also be used by the people for the people.”

Magistrate Wang rolled his eyes at him: "If I hadn't been afraid of shadows, I would have suspected that you were trying to accuse me of embezzling these things."

Huo Yunchao was shocked and hurriedly waved his hands to deny: "No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that!"

"Okay, okay, I'm kidding you. Do I still know who you are? Just don't worry, I won't touch a penny of these stolen money. I think it's dirty."

Magistrate Wang has his back against the Chen family, how could he care about such a thing?

Huo Yunchao reminded: "Sir, my two top talents have worked hard, don't forget to reward them."

Magistrate Wang nodded: "I took note of it. By the way, how are things going with the refugees? Did anyone make trouble when the sweet potato seeds were distributed?"

Huo Yunchao curled his lips and said, "Yes. Sir, I suspect that I am usually too gentle, and some people are trying to kidnap me by kicking my nose and face. I am not a spoiled person, and if I go too far, I will give them a beating." "

Magistrate Wang was amused by his bachelor's words: "Did you really order someone to be beaten?"

"Yeah. I won't be merciful if you should be beaten or killed."

Huo Yunchao seriously ordered the killing of a homeless man who was causing trouble. Secret Guard Yi shot the homeless man straight through the heart with an arrow, which was heart-breaking.

Magistrate Wang asked: "Aren't you afraid of nightmares at night?"

Huo Yunchao shook his head and said with a smile: "I punish rape and eliminate evil. I have a clear conscience. Not only will I not have nightmares, but when I return home, I will tell Ning Niang and Xiao Fubao about my heroic deeds."

County Magistrate Wang carefully observed the changes in Huo Yunchao's expression. Seeing that he looked calm and did not seem to be lying to comfort him, he felt certain in his heart: "Yunchao, you are right to think so. Punishing evil and promoting good is what we should do. It’s only natural.”

Huo Yunchao nodded and said with a bright smile: "Sir, the academy sent some articles and pictures, which I think are quite interesting. Well, these three are pictures I specially selected. This article is very good, and this poem It is very suitable for dissemination in the streets and alleys and at the entrances and exits of villages... Sir, I looked at the writings and paintings by the scholars, and I am really happy. Our Dasheng Dynasty has a bright and brilliant future!"

County Magistrate Wang took them and looked at them one by one. Like Huo Yunchao, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said with joy from the bottom of his heart: "That's right, that's right!"

Huo Yunchao asked again: "Sir, when the refugees plant sweet potatoes, we should start building the river embankment, right? Are the materials for building the river embankment ready?"

Magistrate Wang stopped laughing immediately. He was extremely worried: "Yun Chao, I am worried about how to tell you that the materials for building houses promised to the victims will not be available in three to five years."

"Huh?" Huo Yunchao became anxious upon hearing this: "Sir, that's not what you said before, you..."

Magistrate Wang said helplessly: "Yun Chao, the damage to the river embankment far exceeded our expectations, and a large amount of materials are needed. If nothing else, the stones used to build the embankment are not enough. How can there be extra materials? Build houses for the refugees?”
