Chapter 62: Overlord's Meal

The death of the watchman was reported to the prince of Lichuan County the next day. This time, when the master saw the corpse of the watchman, he was already sweating profusely and was shocked, and when he heard Lao Liu and Xiao Li talk about the situation last night, he was even more dizzy, and sat on the big chair!

"In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" The county magistrate didn't pay attention either!

Lao Liu and Xiao Li looked at each other, and then Lao Liu said: "My subordinates are stupid, I really don't pay attention, and I hope that the adults will decide!"

"Is this really the so-called demon?" the county magistrate tilted his head and muttered to himself.

"My lord, there have been rumors of dried corpses in Lichuan City for a long time, and I have been bumped into twice in a row recently, I'm afraid there will be no fake!" Lao Liu answered.

"Perhaps...... It's really!" The county magistrate closed his eyes, Lichuan has not had any trouble or bad news in a hundred years, is the sky really about to change? The sky outside, dark clouds are rolling uncertainly, but there is no meaning of rain. I'm afraid this year's harvest won't be too good!

"My lord, what will happen if the family of the watchman is found?" Xiao Lizi suddenly asked.

"Yes, my lord heard that there is a brother and an old mother in the family of this watchman!" Lao Liu also said.

"What should I do?" the county magistrate didn't bow his head, as if he was talking to the two yacha on the side, and seemed to ask himself again!

"My lord, it's better to tell them the truth!" "The more Lao Liu thought about it, the more he felt that he shouldn't hide it, because he was also very uneasy in his heart, I don't know if it was because he saw the dried corpse twice in a row, or because he felt that these two things were very unusual......

"Do you want the people of Lichuan to stop believing us?" the master lowered his head and looked at Lao Liu, "Or do you want to cause panic among the people in Lichuan City?"

"It's because the subordinates are too inconsiderate!" Although Lao Liu felt unusual in his heart, when he heard the words of the county master, he immediately felt that the master's consideration was very reasonable. Not to mention whether everyone can believe in the ghosts, if they really believe it, then it will be difficult to control, I am afraid it can't help but cause panic in Lichuan City, 800 miles to the west is Fengzhou City, when the time comes, I am afraid that this Lichuan will no longer be prosperous for a hundred years!

"My lord, it's better to say that I accidentally fell to my death last night, and I accidentally fell to my death...... "The more Xiao Li Zi spoke, the lower his voice became, as if he was doing something that was difficult for him to accept......

"Alas, it seems that this is the only way to go, and let him be buried thickly. The county magistrate said helplessly. "Give him more silver taels for his family, and don't let them out at this time. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Li and Lao Liu replied at the same time.

"And. The figure of the county lord who had already turned around and was about to walk towards the back hall turned around again, "Regarding the matter of the dried corpse, hurry up and search for clues!"

"Yes!"

After some people in the city discussed the sudden disappearance of the watchmen, it finally calmed down! However, the heartstrings of the various yamen in the yamen had not yet been relaxed.

Lichuan was founded for thousands of years, and it has experienced poverty until prosperity. However, there are many big families who have lived here in the era, among which the Lichuan Ba family is a small family, and it is quite loved by everyone and small families in Lichuan City. The head of the Ba family in Lichuan today - Ba Shu! once cultivated the true Tao in a mountain south of Lichuan for a period of time, but in the end he did not achieve much, so he later returned to the Ba family to succeed as the patriarch. However, in everyone's opinion, the patriarch of the Ba family is still strong in martial arts and kind-hearted. In the harvest year, he often invited visitors from all over the world to pass through Lichuan, and often took out a lot of family resources to help Lichuan repair bridges and pave roads, and helped some people in the city in bad harvest years, and there were no longer a few. Nowadays, people have faintly photographed the Lichuan Ba family as the largest family in Lichuan.

Regarding these, neither the Ba family nor the Ba family patriarch cares...... There are even rumors that the Ba family is even worse than the official family? The Ba family will still try their best to refute the rumors, after all, the Ba family has never thought of any conflict with the official family. And the patriarch of the Ba family, who has seen the cultivation of the true Tao and the merit of heaven and earth creation, is even more unconcerned in a small place like Lichuan, which may already be transcendent in ordinary people......

On this day, the little master of the Ba family went out happily, and Ba Shu stood on top of the tall building and watched it all the time, but he didn't make a sound......

"Master, the city has been very peaceful recently, why do you still let the little young master go out at will?" asked softly behind a man who looked like an official.

"He has practiced quite hard, and I promised him that if he reaches a certain stage of cultivation, I will promise to let him go out for a walk alone, how can he lose his trust because of this?" replied calmly from the patriarch of the Ba family.

"That'...... Is the old man worried about the little young master?" the official asked again.

"Life and death are destiny, but his mind is pure, kind and innocent, I don't think he will have anything! Besides, isn't there his master with him?" Patriarch Ba Shu said very plainly.

"Master is worthy of being a cultivator. The official said. Bashu didn't answer either.

On the street, a child stops every few steps and looks east and west, as if he has never come out.

"Are mundane things really so attractive?" asked the child, who was behind him, in a whisper.

"Maybe I've been out too often?" said the child, who had thought for a while, and then was quite satisfied with his answer. "If I were like these kids on the street, maybe it wouldn't be so novel?"

"Hahaha...... It's really a surprise to the master, I didn't expect you to come out alone for the first time, and you can understand such a truth that people are famous for their dishes over the years!" The person in the back stroked his beard and laughed and said.

"So, if the master could take me out a few more times in the future, maybe I wouldn't be so longing for the outside!" the boy was still bouncing in front.

This time, the child's master did not speak, nor did he praise. It seems that because he has already run a little far, but in fact, he is still too young to know how big this so-called outside the house is.

"Master, would you like to buy me a sugar gourd?" the boy stopped in front of a man selling rock sugar gourds, and then turned back to his master.

The thin, tall, black-bearded man not far behind him walked up to him and said, "Pick the one you like!"

"Great. The kid jumped up and clapped his hands, then picked a string of sugar gourds.

Then they went shopping, and the boy held a sugar gourd, but he was still idle, smelling the buns on the street for a while, and smelling the aroma wafting in for a while, but he didn't ask the master to buy him anything.

At last the child walked slowly, and waited until the master was very close to him before starting again.

"Master, the apprentice doesn't understand?" the boy asked as he ate.

"If you have anything to say, just ask!"

"Why did my father teach me to respect my teachers since I was a child, and I could even say that he was very strict with me, and he rarely let me go out. But why didn't the master teach me that?" the child, like an adult, asked this question.

"Do you know that your father also cultivated the Tao for a period of time?"

"I don't know!" the boy kept looking at his master with wide eyes.

"The reason why your father has not succeeded in cultivating is because his heart has been swayed by the world. But you, however, are different, in addition to innocence and kindness, you are also very accommodating, although this is the nature of a child, but I hope that you can always retain this nature, even if you grow up and do not lose it. ”

"Why?"

"Because in this way, we can get closer to the Great Dao!" the tall, thin, but lean man bowed his head and said, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

"Okay!" The child's mind is obviously more mature and sensible than that of ordinary children. But between the mannerisms, there is also a demeanor that only a smaller child can have.

After that, the high and the low, one big and one small, walked into a teahouse, and then sat opposite each other, and then talked about the natural avenue......

At this time, in a large hotel, a burly sweaty man walked in.

"Objective, what do you want?" a small child greeted him with a smile on his face, and then asked.

"Serve three jars of good wine to the uncle!" The big sweater put the heavy object wrapped in cloth on his back to the side of the table, "Wait, a few more side dishes, cut two catties of beef!"

"Okay, objective, wait a minute!"

The little two agreed with a smile, and then shouted and reported the menu to the shopkeeper in the store, and then quickly brought the three jars of wine.

"Objectively, you're really lucky, this is the last twenty years of wine left in our store!" said Na Er with a smile.

"Alright, alright! got it!" the Great Khan said roughly, but he was not angry, but smiled slightly. Open the jar, then pour a bowl of wine, and drink it all. "It's good wine! hehe...... It seems that this store is worth my ...... Hehe! Get drunk first!" Actually, this big man really walked into this store because he asked about the wine in the store, which was quite mellow......

After a while, Xiao Er brought all the other side dishes and beef to the table. After that, only the sweat was left eating and drinking, so unhappy......

"Three jars of good aging, can he finish it?" At this time, the old shopkeeper was muttering quietly on the side.

"Shopkeeper, if you can't finish drinking, you have to pay anyway!" said Xiao Er quite proudly.

"Stupid, if he doesn't pay, can you stop it?" the shopkeeper slapped Xiao Er on the head.

"Shopkeeper, don't worry, I just saw that the official family's big brother is patrolling outside, if he dares to escape, or if he doesn't pay, I will report to the official immediately!" Xiao Er defended.

"Count you kid smart!"

Not long after, the Great Khan had eaten every dish on the table, which was quite large, but he didn't pay, he just stood up, grabbed the heavy object wrapped in cloth on the table, carried it on his back, and walked out!

"Alas, alas, alas~ Guest officer, you haven't paid yet?" The little second hurried up and stretched out an arm to stop the big man.

"Money ......" the sweaty hiccup, spit out a mouthful of wine, and then said with a smile, "I don't have any money!"

"You, you...... You, you, you eat the overlord meal!" The little two was said by the shopkeeper, and his face was extremely ugly!
