Just when the two brothers were bent on their cheeks and stared at each other with big eyes; The Erlinzi, who had hitchhiked and provided a temporary foothold, suddenly slapped his thigh hard, stood up excitedly, and said:

"I really know a 'monk' of the Celestial God Cult, and I hope he can help you figure out who to seek revenge against! Don't look at that kid now waving the banner of the Heavenly God Sect every day, swaggering and deceiving in Julu County; But he can't hide it from others, but he can't hide it from my Erlinzi! This kid is now called a 'Tongfa Monk', and his real name is Zhang Wen, before joining the Heavenly God Sect, he was actually just a ruffian in Yecheng! With his soft bones, as long as you restrain him, you don't have to beat or scold him at all, he can directly explain the three generations of his ancestors! ”

As soon as Shen Gui heard this, he immediately came to his senses:

"Where can I find this 'Dharma Monk'?"

Er Linzi looked up at the sky, turned back and whispered a few words to a few little brothers, and said with some hesitation:

"It's really hard to say, we have been locked up by Xue Liu for too long, and we are not very familiar with the recent things on the streets in Julu County...... I might as well go out through the back door of this small courtyard and go south until you see the blue sign of the 'Lu Kee Blacksmith'. On that street, there must be a lady who specializes in sewing clothes for people in a corner. If you have any questions, just ask her directly. However, the old lady also has a rule: for every question you ask, she has to charge you two taels of silver for 'tea money'. ”

After asking Li Le'an to 'dress up' himself a little, Shen Gui followed Er Linzi's instructions and walked through the streets and alleys to the front of the 'Lu Ji Blacksmith Shop'; he stopped, looked around, and found a woman who was about fifty years old and had some gray hair. At this time, she was hiding in a sheltered alley, sitting on a small bench with her eyes closed, leaning against a mottled courtyard wall beside her, napping......

It may have been the sound of Shen Gui's approaching footsteps that woke her up from her sleep; The woman looked up and saw a tall, thin man with an ordinary face standing in front of her......

"Here? Where's the ripping? Turn around and show the eldest lady the opening......"

The woman hurriedly wiped her sleeve to her lips, and then reached out and rubbed her sleepy eyes, and began to greet her with enthusiasm; Unexpectedly, as soon as she was halfway up, she was pressed back to the bench by Shen Gui's backhand. Next, Shen Gui tugged the coarse cotton robe on his body again, and directly tore off half of his left sleeve, and then bowed down and held it in front of the old woman:

"Trouble! One of your old friends, Erlinzi, let me come to you to inquire about something. ”

After the woman heard the name 'Erlinzi', she tilted her head and thought for a while, and then she suddenly came back to her senses and asked Shen Gui with a surprised expression:

"How did I hear that Erlinzi, a little rabbit cub, has been arrested by the yamen for more than half a year? Are you the new jailer? Otherwise, how could he catch up with Erlinzi, who was still in the county jail? ”

The old lady lowered her voice and talked to Shen Gui while sewing Shen Gui's 'bad robe' with flying needles and threads.

Only then did Shen return that he thought that this old woman was either the senior teacher of Erlinzi, or a senior of the rivers and lakes who lived in seclusion here; But after chatting for a few words, he realized that this old woman was just a real common man; And the reason why she can make a living by 'selling information' is also because of the convenience brought by the professional characteristics of 'mending clothes'.

All this kind of middle-aged women who make a living by 'needlework' have an exclusive term in Yanjing City-sewing poor. As the name suggests, these women are craftsmen who make a living by sewing clothes for the poor. Although they are all ingenious, they also have good female celebrities; However, due to the compulsion of the living environment, he could not afford to open a big business such as silk and satin shops and tailors; So they can only hold the sewing basket and sit in a corner of the street where they can shelter from the cold in winter and shade in summer, quietly waiting for the guests to come to their door.

But it is this special work of 'immovability' that determines that the events that the women who make a living by 'sewing poverty' see and hear are extremely complete. Because they sit in the streets and alleys all day long, they naturally witness the big and small things that happen on the streets every day. When they first started selling news, their main sales targets were people like Qi Hui and Sanlinzi. For example, whose house needs to be rented and sold? Whose shop wants to redeem it? Whose family is breaking up? Whose family has borrowed money from India and urgently needs to get rid of the family property? Even the other party's 'psychological price' may be judged from a few words. This kind of reliable information is simply decisive for the tooth people to win the initiative in the negotiations!

These tooth people are mixed food on the street, and naturally know the truth of 'flower sedan chair people carry people'. Therefore, whenever the tooth man earned money through these news, he inevitably had to share it with the poor women.

Gossip is a hobby for middle-aged women; Now they find that their hobby can also bring them a lot of income, so they naturally work extra hard, and even the original sewing and cutting work has now become a supplementary job of 'picking grass and beating rabbits'.

Shen Gui didn't know if behavior like theirs could be regarded as the prototype of the paparazzi. However, the nature of the work of 'gossip monetization' between the two is exactly the same.

And the woman in front of Shen Gui is the leader in the sewing industry, and she is also the most well-informed.

"Auntie, I came this time to inquire with you about the whereabouts of 'Zhang Wen'."

"Zhang Wen? There are three 'Zhang Wen' in a radius of 100 miles near Julu County, which one are you asking? ”

"Three Zhang Wen? So which of them is a 'monk' of the Celestial God Cult? ”

"Two-two!"

Only then did Shen Gui understand what it means to 'learn well, and learn badly'! The wisdom of the people is indeed endless, and this old woman has only been doing 'intelligence work' for a few days? Driven by profits, he has learned to 'induce confessions'!

However, Young Master Shen has always been generous, and he didn't pay attention to the dozen taels of broken silver at all.

Then the woman told Shen Gui that about an hour ago, she had seen the 'Huashen Monk' Zhang Wen appear from the intersection of the 'East Street' and quickly cross the street in front of her. He looked very flustered at that time, his sideburns were messy, and even the moire dao boots under his feet were missing.

And what's even more ridiculous is that Zhang Daochang's embarrassed appearance is already strange to the people of Julu County. Since he came to Julu County four years ago and became a Huashen monk who 'preaches and preached', he will perform such a 'big show' every few days.

However, those private matters about Daoist Zhang Wen are not just the price of 'two taels of silver', which is close to the people.

According to the analysis of the news collected by these 'poor' women, it turns out that Zhang Wen, a monk who is a general law, is not a serious outsider at all! Why he left Yecheng before, although it is still unknown; But since he came to Julu County, he has been carrying the banner of 'Heavenly God Sect' all day long, going around to the homes of believers to 'explore feng shui' and 'subdue demons and eliminate demons'.

Maybe there is indeed a 'feng shui formation' in this world, but at least Zhang Wen, the 'former ruffian', will never be able to get a glimpse of the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, it is false for him to 'reverse the luck' of the folk believers, and to use the words of ghosts and gods as a name, and to prostitute people's wives and daughters is the truth!

However, if you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world?

Most of the women in Julu County are illiterate; Therefore, these women who have not seen much of the world are also easily deceived by the rhetoric of Zhang Wen, a ruffian; But the men in Julu County are all understanding people who want to go out to make a living and support their families! As for Zhang Wen's little tricks and tricks, if you take off the cloak of 'The Theory of Ghosts and Gods', it won't even be worth a penny! Even if he has met a few 'bad guys', he will not be deceived by such clumsy methods.

It can be seen that no matter what industry you are in, 'hard power' is indispensable. Therefore, Zhang Wen, this 'rough deception' monk of the Dharma, every few days, will be blocked in his house by the husbands of those women's Taoist families! If he is a strong and reckless man, he must be beaten violently; If he is thinner, he will find a hole and escape......

As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree, whenever Zhang Wen's scandal is revealed, there will always be people from the Heavenly God Sect who come forward to settle it for him; So until now, he has still been able to rely on his rhetoric and the 'skin' of the Huashen monk to deceive some well-informed good family women......

As for the 'East Street' he just appeared, it was actually just a slightly wider alley, and if he didn't live in the houses on both sides of the East Street, then the answer would be forthcoming......

At the end of the East Street, there is only a way to the county government of Julu County!

When Shen Gui heard this, he recalled the county master who came and left in a hurry, and asked with confusion:

"I also had a relationship with the county magistrate of your county. Judging from his appearance alone, his old man must be at least fifty miles away...... Could it be that Mrs. Palm Print, the county Yahoutang, is now in her youth? ”

"Two-two!"

Shen Gui angrily took out a small ticket of fifty taels of silver, and shoved it into the woman's hand a little rudely:

"Save it first, and give you as much as you have leftover!"

"Good, good! The guests introduced by these two forests are special on the road! But alas, you guessed wrong! Our 'county grandmother' in Julu County, no more, no less this year, 50 years old! ”

When Shen Gui heard this, the doubts in his heart became even worse. According to Erlinzi, that Tongfa monk Zhang Wen should be about the same age as him, about Chinese New Year's Eve today. Even if this 'fake old man' is really a greedy person for flowers, why did he abandon the 'charming flowers' of cardamom and not pick them, but instead became entangled with an old woman who was nearly fifty years old?

What the hell is he looking for a good match for himself? Or are you recognizing your godmother?

But when she raised this doubt, the poor woman showed a mysterious expression of 'you are still young':

"Auntie, look at this thing, it should be eight or nine and ten! Is there anyone in the entire Julu County who doesn't know? Our Zhang Daoye, has always had to take this bite! ”
