Qiao Kui walked around the city with a wonton stew, he was not in a hurry to go to Sujiazhuang, because it was useless to go, he didn't recognize the little beggar. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info So, he had to find someone who could recognize the little beggar first.

He has always been cautious in his work, and he will think through every detail before each action, and only after he is fully prepared will he put it into action. This is also the reason why he has always been dissatisfied with the fiasco of everyone in Dongchang last time.

What he was looking for now was a child, a beggar to be exact. That's the informant he bribed with a bowl of wontons.

Although his wonton stew is just a cover-up, it is also genuine. Because of the care, the taste is extremely delicious. It's that the stall head sometimes asks for a bowl. Therefore, such a bowl of wonton stew is still very valuable.

Through the streets and alleys, until I walked to the intersection of the south and north of the city, I found a wall root and put down the pick, slowly set up a stall, and began to wait for the fish to appear.

Wuqing City is poor in the north and rich in the south, expensive in the east and cheap in the west. The beggars are reluctant to go to the east, those nobles are not easy to see, if they encounter a bad head, they can't get a lot of money, and the biggest possibility is to be kicked by the nobles' entourage.

As for the west, well, the people over there are not even as good as beggars, and beggars are always good citizens, but most of the people in Xicheng are villains, hooligans, or fugitives.

Therefore, only when the north and the south intersect, this is a paradise for beggars. The poor here are not too poor, and there can always be some leftovers to cushion their stomachs. And the rich people in the north, when they are in a good mood, or if there is something happy at home, it is not impossible to get three or five big money.

Qiao Kui is deeply aware of this.

It is adjacent to the West Market, and although it is not in the market, it is also very crowded with pedestrians. At this time, there were small groups of individual customers, most of whom were vendors who had entered the city earlier to buy and sell and could not have breakfast.

Qiao Kui Ma was wrapped in wontons, but his ears were quietly pricked up, listening attentively to the talk of these people. This kind of place is full of people, but it is the most well-informed, and it can often obtain some unexpected gains. Anyway, waiting for that little informant to appear, Qiao Kui didn't mind gathering more information.

"Well, have you heard? Recently, there has been a lot of peace in this city, and it is said that it is an evil spirit, so I was so scared that I hesitated for a long time and did not dare to come. If it weren't for the urging of the mother-in-law at home, he wouldn't have come to the city in the past few days. ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for two of the guests to start talking. The thin one opened his mouth first, with a look of fear on his face.

The person on the other side smiled and said, "Hey, you just know." I've heard that there are big families in the city who have lost their daughters, and several people have died. Oh, don't you see the notice over there? The county lord called on everyone to raise funds, saying that they would work together to catch that evil thing, and you are afraid of it. ”

"What, what's going on with the big families?" the thin man was startled, and his face became whiter and whiter.

"Ah, yes. Hey, look at you, don't scare yourself. The evil is also long-eyed, with your small body, the meat is not enough to stuff the teeth, and it is not the eldest daughter's and daughter-in-law's, and the evil is not interested. Hahaha. The partner on the opposite side responded disapprovingly, and then teased again, obviously the relationship between the two is very close.

"Hey, don't say that. Someone next to him interjected. The two turned their heads to look, but they saw that it was a fat man, and he smiled before saying a word, like a Maitreya, which made people feel good at first sight.

"Oh, what's the matter, what does this brother think?" the thin man's companion asked with a smile as he arched his hand.

The fat man took a sip of the wonton stew, smacked his lips comfortably, and then shook his head and said, "I've heard that the evil doesn't distinguish between men and women, fat and thin." That thing doesn't pick its mouth, it eats people's brains. Hey, you didn't see it. On that day, several corpses were lined up at the entrance of the county government, all of them were here....... "The fat man gestured behind his head, "There is a big hole here, and the inside is clean, which is called a miserable." ”

The thin man and his companion looked a little wrong, and the thin man couldn't bear it anymore, so he suddenly got up and ran to the side, holding the tree and vomiting.

The companion glared at the fat man complainingly, asked Qiao Kui for a bowl of soup, let the thin man rinse his mouth, and helped him knock on his back, and it took a long time to stop.

By the time the two of them came back and sat down, the thin man's face was already blue, and his eyes were a little wandering. Suddenly, he said, "I said, let's ...... Let's go. I...... I always felt panicked in this city. ”

Bandang frowned slightly, although the goods in his hand were sold, he still had to buy some materials, where would he leave at this time?

was about to be persuaded, but the fat man opened his mouth again: "Hey, why don't you talk about you, are you illiterate?"

The thin man was stunned for a moment, and then he sneered, but then he was a little angry. He muttered in a low voice, "Aren't you literate?"

The fat man smiled proudly and raised his head slightly: "Of course, although there are not many, I always know more than a dozen." ”

The thin man was silent, and his companion was not angry, so he squinted at him and sneered: "And then? Could it be that the evil man doesn't pick his mouth, but only picks the literate and illiterate? ”

The fat man's face changed slightly, and he looked left and right to see that there was nothing wrong, so his face eased down, and he said unhappily: "I said how do you talk, why don't you understand the hearts of good people." When I tell you about literacy, I mean that the county notice says that the thing is infested, not that it is safer outside the city. Among the corpses I just said that day were outside the city. ”

The thin man shivered, subconsciously looked left and right, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

His companion was speechless, and after a pause, he argued forcefully: "There is a county lord taking the lead, vowing to eradicate this evil thing, what are you afraid of? You are alarmist! If you scare us so much, be careful that we go to the yamen to kill you!"

The fat man sneered and said, "Come out of me, okay, just go." Hmph, the county lord is taking the lead, what is the leader doing, are you really trying to get rid of that thing? ridiculous!"

With that, he took out two coins from his sleeve and threw them on the table, and was about to get up and leave.

Although the thin man is timid, he is clever. There was an unfinished meaning in the fat man's words, so he hurriedly grabbed it and said with a smile: "This big brother is not in a hurry, my brother is anxious and speaks straight, don't be surprised." Well, I'll ask my eldest brother to eat another bowl, let's talk again, let's talk. ”

The companion also reacted, don't turn his head and ignore it, but his eyes glanced at the fat man. The fat man was not greedy, and he was greedy for the bowl of wonton stew, so he half-refused to turn around and sit down.

The thin man beckoned Qiao Kui to serve another bowl of wonton stew, and Qiao Kui answered, quietly observing the fat man while making a wonton stew. He always felt that something was wrong with this fat man, but when he looked at it, he didn't notice it at all, so he put his mind on the conversation of several people.

The fat man got food, and his eyes lit up and he ate half a bowl first, and then he burped with satisfaction, and took out a toothpick to pick his teeth.

The thin man and the companion looked at each other, and the companion glared and said, "Hey, this one, you have eaten here, you should say something, isn't it just to deceive this bowl of wonton, in fact, you don't know anything at all?"

He's using a trick here.

The fat man called Qu up, and seeing that the thin man and the two were silent, he had to accept his face in a sneer. After a moment's hesitation, he glanced left and right, and leaned his head over.

When the two thin men saw him, they couldn't help but pick up their hearts, and they came over together, and the heads of the three of them were about to touch together.

Qiao Kui turned around and pretended to be casual to sort out the picks, but he took two steps closer without a trace. At this moment, he had an intuition that maybe what he got at this time was even much greater than what he got from going to Sujiazhuang.

"....... night....... the backyard wall ....... flew out, scared ......" Faintly, he heard the fat man's extremely low voice popping out these words.

Then I heard the thin man and the two whispering in unison. The thin man's face was cloudy, but the companion asked in a low voice, "No, is that really the case?"

The fat man raised his voice slightly, patted his chest and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be fake!" Speaking of this, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked left and right carefully, and saw that no one was paying attention, so his face eased slightly.

Leaned over again and whispered: "It was a coincidence yesterday, I was drunk and late, and I was in need of urine when I passed behind the county office, so I hid in the dark to relieve my hands, and I saw it." I'll tell you, I haven't said anything about this, don't spread it, even if it does, I won't admit it. ”

The thin man and the companion hurriedly reassured: "This is natural. ”

Then the companion said, "So, that thing is...... Uh, doesn't that mean that this donation or something is a scam at all, and it's a loot......."

"Shhh His eyes wandered left and right, and suddenly fell on Qiao Kui, who seemed to be slightly stunned, and then his face changed slightly, Huo Di stood up, clenched his fists and left. This time, no matter what the thin man said, he refused to stay.

Looking at his striding away, the thin man and the companion glanced at each other, and the companion hesitated a little: "Do you think what he said is true or false?"

The thin man was shocked for a moment, perhaps because he was more shocked by the news than the evil, and the shrewdness returned to him. Wen Yan thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I heard that there was a fire in the backyard of the county government a few days ago, and the damage was very great. ”

At this point, the meaning is obvious. The companion was stunned, and then scolded angrily: "These dog officials! There is no good thing! As an official, it is not beneficial to the court and the locality, but this method of tossing the people is extremely powerful, I bah!"

The thin man was startled and hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent him from saying more. He complained: "Woe comes from the mouth! This is not something we can discuss. ”

He struggled hard and said angrily: "I'm afraid! Now that the Son of Heaven is in power, he is the most benevolent and loving to the people, how can he indulge such a corrupt official!"

Seeing that he was getting mader and mader, the thin man was frightened and helpless, hurriedly threw down a few money, and then pulled him up and left.

Qiao Kui watched silently, but saw that the two of them stopped mixing, until they could still hear the cursing of the companion in the distance.

Donations, looting, scams?

Qiao Kui slowly put away the dishes and chopsticks, thinking quickly. These are obviously the Shen County Orders that are being said. Well, the most important part is the first few words that the fat man said. In order not to alarm them, he approached a little slower, and only listened to a general idea, but he didn't understand what was going on.

But if you think about it carefully, and then connect it with the matter of Wuqing for a while, ....... hiss-

He suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but gasp.
