“…… I'm not afraid of two jokes. ”

Qi Xiang talked eloquently: "In our line of work, the three caves of the cunning rabbit are not only convenient for temporary settlement, but more importantly, when they encounter any trouble, they also have a place to run away." ”

Hai Gongzi and Tian Shiyi heard it, but they also agreed a little.

However, their minds were obviously not in this regard, and after greeting Qi Xiang for a few words, Hai Gongzi still opened his mouth and asked softly: "Shopkeeper Qi, you said that you have lived here for a few years, so you should know more about the situation nearby, right?" ”

"It depends." Qi Xiang smiled: "I'm not a bag to inquire, let alone a jack of all trades, and it's impossible to know everything." ”

"This is natural." Hai Gongzi nodded in understanding, and then asked for advice: "Shopkeeper Qi, in fact, we want to find someone, maybe you know where it is?" ”

"Who?" Qi Xiang was a little curious.

Hai Gongzi glanced at Tian Shiyi, hesitated slightly, and finally said truthfully: "Tao Zhugong!" ”

"What?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment.

At the beginning, I heard Hai Gongzi say that they were looking for someone. Qi Xiang didn't think it was strange at all, after all, the two of them were walking around the streets and alleys, wandering around, and there were signs of looking for people or things.

The problem is that if Hai Gongzi wants to find Tao Zhugong's answer, it will greatly surprise Qi Xiang.

"You're not kidding?" Qi Xiang frowned, expressing his suspicions.

Who Tao Zhugong is, maybe some people don't understand, but it doesn't mean that Qi Xiang doesn't know.

You must know Tao Zhugong, that is the famous Fan Li, a famous politician, military strategist, Taoist and economist in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He came from a humble background, and because he was dissatisfied with the political darkness of the Chu State at that time and the fact that non-nobles were not allowed to enter the country, he turned to the Yue Kingdom.

After that, he helped the king of Yue Gou to destroy Wu, and he was ashamed of it.

After becoming famous, and seeing through Goujian, he can only share hardships and hardships, and cannot be the same as the rich and noble temperament, so he immediately retreated bravely in the rapids, went out of Gusu in the west, and traveled between the seventy-two peaks in a flat boat in the five lakes.

During this period, he became rich in business three times, scattered his family wealth three times, and called himself Tao Zhugong.

The world is known as loyal to the country, wisdom to protect oneself, business to get rich, famous in the world, directly respect him as a business saint, and even worship his statue, as the god of wealth.

All in all, Tao Zhugong is a historical figure, but now Hai Gongzi and Tian Shi are looking for him by name, is this because they have crossed over, or have they heard the difference?

For a moment, Qi Xiang's eyes were full of strange looks, and he wondered if the two were teasing themselves.

"Shopkeeper Qi, we're not kidding."

Hai Gongzi's expression was a little helpless, but he was used to it.

After all, these days, they wander around the neighborhood and ask people a lot. But when they heard that they were looking for Tao Zhugong, those who didn't understand shook their heads directly, but those who understood rolled their eyes, thinking that they were neurotic.

"We are really looking for Tao Zhu Gong, but this Tao Zhu Gong is not Tao Zhu Gong."

Hai Gongzi hurriedly explained: "The Tao Zhu Gong we are talking about is not Fan Li who went into hiding with Xi Shi, but a person named Tao Zhu Gong...... Well, you can also understand that Tao Zhugong is his code name, screen name. ”

"Codename screen name?" Qi Xiang was relieved: "I see." ”

"We met online and were friends." Hai Gongzi continued to explain: "But this ...... After a while, he didn't go online often, and he changed his mobile phone number, and we gradually lost contact. ”

"We ...... Worried about what happened to him, he came over to see the situation. ”

Hai Gongzi was worried and said: "We don't know exactly where his family lives, but we overheard him mention this street in Huzhou City, so I came to try our luck." ”

"Oh......" Qi Xiang thought about it, and he could also feel that Hai Gongzi had a little concealment in his words.

"Shopkeeper Qi, have you heard of this person?" Hai Gongzi asked, also holding a ten-thousandth expectation.

"Nope!" Qi Xiang shook his head very dryly.

"Hey......"

Although it was an expected answer, Hai Gongzi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"But ......" Qi Xiang suddenly took a turn.

Hai Gongzi's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked urgently, "But what?" ”

Qi Xiang raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and said with a chuckle: "But as far as I know, there was once a temple of the God of Wealth near here, and I heard that the incense was very strong at that time, and the God of Wealth enshrined in the temple was Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li." ”

"Ahh

When Hai Gongzi heard this, he was suddenly a little surprised: "Where is the temple?" ”

"Ah Hai, don't be in a hurry, listen to what he says."

Tian Shi was a little calm: "Listen carefully, he said that he used to ...... Moreover, these days, we have walked the streets more than a hundred times, but we have not seen any temples of the God of Wealth. ”

Qi Xiang smiled approvingly and nodded: "The God of Wealth Temple has been demolished more than ten years ago. It has now been converted into a community hospital, right next to the sub-district office......"

"What, demolished?" Hai Gongzi frowned, from surprise to disappointment, but in an instant.

Qi Xiang wanted to speak, but Hai Gongzi suddenly reacted: "Wait...... Dismantle...... Move? ”

"After it was demolished, where did it go?" Hai Gongzi hurriedly asked, "Is that God of Wealth Temple still there?" ”

"In ......" Qi Xiang smiled: "And you are asking the right person, there are definitely only a handful of people who know the location of the God of Wealth Temple." I only heard about it by chance. ”

Hai Gongzi was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Shopkeeper Qi, can you take us to the God of Wealth Temple to have a look?" ”

"No problem...... Qi Xiang readily agreed: "You can do it at any time, but I don't dare to guarantee that the Tao Zhugong you are looking for is in the Temple of the God of Wealth." ”

"It's okay." Hai Gongzi waved his hand directly, and he was able to get the information of this suspected clue in Qi Xiang's mouth, which was also an unexpected joy. If you can't find it again, you can't force it, and it's even more impossible to blame Qi Xiang.

Qi Xiang was also very knowledgeable, and seeing that the two of them couldn't sit still, he got up directly and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go." The location of the relocation of the God of Wealth Temple seems to be a little far away......"

Facts have proved that Qi Xiang is not lying, and the place they are going to is indeed a bit far.

After a half-hour drive, it was only after half an hour of driving that we arrived at our destination. The place was on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by vast expanses of wilderness, and there were no villages inhabited.

"Why did you move the Temple of Wealth so far?" Hai Gongzi felt a little strange.

Tian Shi's heart moved, and his eyes lit up: "No...... As you just said, the incense of the God of Wealth Temple is very prosperous, which means that it is more effective. If the temple is moved, the people in the neighborhood will have no opinion? ”

Don't underestimate the "superstition" of the people, the relevant departments forced/demolished the houses of ordinary people, and the others were at most scolded, all kinds of indignant sighs, and waved their flags and shouted.

But these are keyboard warriors, just standing and talking without backache, and there will be absolutely no actual action.

But to demolish a temple, it is difficult to say. Especially the big temple with strong incense, whoever dares to touch it, a group of uncles and aunts will definitely come out as soon as possible and swear to defend every brick and tile in the temple.

Once a group/body/sex/event is formed, no matter how strong the relevant departments are, they will not dare to take any action.

But listening to the meaning of Qi Xiang's words, the Temple of Wealth seems to have moved away very peacefully, and there seems to be something strange about it, which is worth pondering.

"I really have no opinion, and I am even happy to send a plague." Qi Xiang smiled slightly, and also sighed a little: "Moving the temple away, that is already a compromise, it is said that at that time, there were still people who wanted to burn down the temple directly." ”

"What's the situation?" Hai Gongzi and Tian Shi were suddenly surprised.

"I heard an old man say this, and I don't dare to be 100% sure if it's true or not." Qi Xiang said softly: "It is said that more than ten years ago, there was a shocking bloody case in the Temple of Wealth, and the scene was very tragic. ”

"Shocking blood?"

Hai Gongzi and Tian Shi looked at each other and felt very surprised.

"That's right, it's a bloody case."

Qi Xiang nodded and talked eloquently: "The old man told me that he was one of the witnesses at that time. One morning more than ten years ago, he and the others got up early, and then, according to the habit they had developed in the past, they wanted to go to the temple to worship a stick of incense, and ask the God of Wealth to bless them with a prosperous business for the day and earn a few more yuan......"

"But when they went to the temple of the God of Wealth, they found that the temple door was closed, as if it was locked."

Qi Xiang explained: "You must know that the Temple of Wealth usually opens very early, and the temple blessing will generally get up at four or five o'clock in the morning to sprinkle water and sweep the floor, very diligent, rain or shine. ”

But that day, Miaozhu didn't get up and open the door. At that time, they did not feel any difference, so they waited patiently, but until six or seven o'clock, there was still no movement in the temple......

Qi Xiang recounted: "At that time, more and more people came to burn incense, dozens of people gathered at the gate of the temple, and many people had to rush to open the door to do business, so they were naturally a little impatient. ”

"Some people who are anxious simply call for temple blessings at the door, but they don't get a response."

Qi Xiang's tone was a little more solemn: "At that time, some people felt that something seemed to be wrong, and wondered if Miaozhu had a sudden illness?" ”

"When the group of people discussed a few words, they directly slammed the door open......"

Speaking of this, Qi Xiang paused for a moment before continuing: "As soon as I slammed open the gate, everyone was horrified to find that the ground in the temple was covered with blood, and the red blood flowed all over the ground, forming a shallow pool of blood. ”

"Seeing that scene, the timid people were immediately frightened." Qi Xiang shook his head and sighed: "No matter how bold you are, you don't dare to look directly when you smell that bloody blood, and hurriedly call the police." ”

"The police arrived quickly and quickly cordoned off the scene. After some investigation, it was confirmed that Miaozhu died unexpectedly. As for the specific situation, it was not disclosed, and no one dared to inquire indiscriminately......"

Qi Xiang said slowly: "It just so happened that at that time, the city decided to add a community hospital on the street and requisition land for transformation. After that, I don't know who proposed to move the temple away to make room for the hospital. ”
