15, Tan Long shows his edge

Shanwa got married, and she was still busy clearing the ground, so she cleaned it up and uprooted it. In order to mobilize people, he suggested that all land should be owned by private individuals. It is also proposed that no tax be levied for four years. Tan Deyi agreed, he wanted to have a long-term plan. Therefore, people are active, busy possessing, busy dividing, busy deciding. In this way, the Tan family occupies the north of the Fu family's tomb, the Ma family occupies the east of the Fu family's tomb, and the Liu family occupies the land west of the Fu family's tomb. Shanwa occupies the ** slope, Fu Lao Si occupies the small ** slope, and Fu Lao Liu moves closer to the water mill. Fu Lao, Fu Lao, Fu Lao, and Fu Lao San didn't want to move, and they were still close to the original place of the blacksmith. After the decision is made, the person is active again, cutting down the trees, drying them in the sun, and then setting them on fire. There are too few tools, they break down quickly, and there is no money to buy them, so people lose, and it is difficult to win over nature. When it rains a little, the grass and trees grow wildly, and human beings work in vain. The main thing is that they didn't eat, and the beasts were all scared away, so the more people who opposed it, the more they objected, and asked, "Is this road right?" So he sued Tan Deyi and let them all rest. But Tan Deyi didn't care, didn't stop, and didn't speak. People talked about it again, saying Tan Hu, talking about Tan Long, poor Qi Gui. The Tan family was depressed, and they couldn't stop it, because they were all behind their backs. Therefore, Tan Long and Tan Biao did not go to the field, originally the two were still active and were busy setting fires. This is very unfavorable to the Tan family, so Tan Deyi pondered.

Originally, I wanted to have a weapon fight and a huge funeral, which was supposed to block people's mouths. But it became temporary, and it was disrupted by the opening of the land. Regarding the opening of the land, he also agreed, it was for the Tan family's money and food. Besides, life and death are beneficial to himself, and it is not for others to become his governance, so he is angry with Qi Gui. Qi Gui lives in Harrier Ridge and lives in the temple, which is equivalent to announcing to everyone: It was the Tan family who drove him away, so he was sorry for him. Therefore, he hates Qi Gui deeply, but how to redeem it? After thinking about it for a while, he decided to prepare more money and food, and immediately sent someone to donate it to the temple. He also stated that the Tan family will be a long-term customer. In this way, Qi Gui is still under his control, and then in turn he will do propaganda for the Tan family. When the matter was done, he thought about two things and continued to plan money and food. If you don't plan it, you can't do it, and you can spend money like running water. Now, Tan Hu wants to spend money, Tan Long wants to spend money, and Tan Biao will also spend money in the future, all of which will cost his money. Brother Tan Deyi, who doesn't care about anything, is dedicated to being his Mr. Morality. But where is the money? All that was left was the firewood business, and the income of his chief, and the money that was divided equally among the families, the latter of which was obviously no longer guaranteed. So he was upset, and the smoke drifted in, and it was very choking, and it was a mountain full of smoke. Therefore, he was angry and regretted, and only then did he take the opportunity to think again, what is the disadvantage? Suddenly, he had a terrible thought, wolf rebellion. He was startled in an instant, the wolves went out en masse, and they must come back collectively, he was shocked for a moment, and immediately anxious. But he thought about it calmly and again, and he couldn't tell others, otherwise he would be cruel and cruel to pour cold water on his own mouth. I was thinking about it, the master visited, and the township chief Zhai Wenkui, and the chief of thousands of households, Wang Hong, he was busy changing joy to greet him.

The master said: "Brother, congratulations to you for Shuangxi." Tan Deyi said: "He Xi, double happiness?" The master said: "Let Zhai Xiang talk for a long time." Zhai Wenkui said: "Qianhu Village has been broken into a township, and I will be transferred to be the head of the township." Now for your double happiness, you have been awarded the title of 'Virtuous Man', and there are other rewards. Then there is Tan Long, the second son of your family, who has officially been listed on business and has become a member of the public family. The Tan family was overjoyed, and Tan Deyi hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, serve meat, warm wine, and set the dishes." So the meat was all paste, roasted over a natural wildfire. Then the wine is served, the dishes are arranged, and they are all around the table. Zhai Wenkui said again: "There is also the greatest joy, bow down, congratulations to the new county master, congratulations to the county magistrate Meng." Suddenly, everyone panicked, hurriedly bowed down, and exclaimed: "Congratulations to the county lord, congratulations to the county magistrate." The county magistrate said: "My own family, why be polite, get up." Tan Deyi said solemnly: "At this time, etiquette is the most important thing. He took the lead and kowtowed, and everyone kowtowed, which was extremely glorious, and tears were swept down with excitement. Then stand solemnly, cautiously outside the table. County Magistrate Meng said: "Are you all sitting?" Tan Deyi said: "Today, where can there be a seat for them?" So he was only called Tan Deyi, and he could sit at the table, so he drank. While drinking, Tan Deyi asked: "Where do you want the dog to go on business?" County Magistrate Meng said: "Do you still need to ask?" The bosses are here. Tan Long exclaimed: "Why are you a thousand households, go to a thousand households?" The county magistrate said: "This is called knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and you are still afraid of the tiger mountains?" Tan Long was uncomfortable, he didn't know the bottom of his heart. Zhai Wenkui said: "What about Guawa, don't look at who is coming, are you still afraid?" Tan Deyi said: "That's right, it's all the sky that came today, and you went to the sky." However, Tan Long was still scared and still uncomfortable, so everyone laughed. Therefore, the wine was added, the food was served, and the meat was continued to be served, and it was eaten and drunk until dusk. At dusk, a special person came to pick up the county magistrate, and then the banquet was dispersed, so he said goodbye. After saying goodbye, Tan Long continued to be depressed, afraid of being hit by black bricks.

The next day, however, his protector came and invited him to his post. It is a pair of people, one is called Zhang Dekui, and the other is called Wang Shun. Therefore, Tan Deyi encouraged him to go boldly, and the three of them went out of the courtyard. After leaving the yard, turn east, go downhill and uphill, and then go down a small river. After walking the river, there will be a big tomb of the Fu family, and thousands of households are already in sight. I have to go down, it is the land of the Tan family, but Tan Long is very worried, but he has to go. Finally, approaching Qianhu, Tan Long really didn't dare to leave, and wanted to rest. So, Zhang Dekui said: "What are you afraid of? You are already a member of the public family, who dares to mess with you? But Tan Long was not happy, and he showed his ugly things, so he had to leave, and then he went deep into Nanqianhu. Qianhu Village is divided into four villages, South Qianhu and North Qianhu, sandwiched between the Old Military Hall and Baian Elementary School, surrounded by a large open space. From Nanqianhu to the east, next to Koujiabao, and then far away is Yujia Village. These four villages have their own characteristics, with the largest number of people in the south thousand, the least in Koujiabao, the most wild in the north, and the highest status in Yujia Village. Yujia Village, whose original name is Yujia Village, was the place where the Tang Dynasty received the Tang Dynasty's royal car, hence the name. However, there were too few literate people, so it was difficult to write two words, so it was written as Yujia Village. After entering the village, Tan Long didn't dare to raise his head, so he lowered his head deeply. However, he had to look up again, and suddenly found that the other two were missing, so he tried to find the direction. I found that the more people there are, the more people are already in the heart of the crossroads, why aren't you afraid? It was the place where he offended, so nervous to cross. I felt that everyone was talking about him, bustling, and he panicked for a moment. also found that the two deliberately avoided him and deliberately made things difficult for him, so they hated, but they were also nervous. He walked along the north and south, north and south streets, which is the junction of the two villages, and suddenly found that people did not dare to come. Only then did he realize that he was already a public man, but he also walked urgently, nervously and carefully, until he finally reached an open field. In the open space, he is most familiar with it, it is a place to study, and it is also a place to go on business, so he is relieved, and the two of them also catch up. Catching up, he was in a strange mood, and he felt that it was a long time, so he passed through the old military hall, and then went to the township office.

The township office is a large courtyard, sitting in the north and facing south, building houses on the left and right, and the main hall is in the depths. However, Zhai Wenkui was not in the main hall, so he continued to walk inside, entered the side door, and walked a path. Here, it is still an independent courtyard, built on all sides, and Zhai Wenkui occupies three tiled houses, so the three of them went in again, and then reported to Zhai Township Chief. Seeing the three of them coming, Zhai Township Chief said: "Tan Long, you are new, get familiar with it first, and let the two of them take you around." So they retreated, and the three of them went out of the courtyard again, and Tan Long asked, "This is over, and there is nothing to do?" Zhang Dekui said: "What can happen?" This is a business trip, in fact, it is a pension. Tan Long said depressedly: "I'm also waiting for death." Therefore, the two laughed at him, so they went back to the station together, and the three of them lived in one room, so they were aggrieved. As soon as I sat down, it was time to eat again, so I went to the cafeteria and was busy with lunch. But he had to line up and divide the grades, and Tan Long was uncomfortable again. Fortunately, the food was good, but it was also awkward, and it was very strange. After eating, it was followed by a turn, and sure enough, the two of them wanted to accompany him, and he felt helpless. Zhang Dekui said: "The transfer is a business trip, which is for the safety of the village. Tan Long was bored and had to follow, and the most worried were the people of Nanqianhu. Wang Shun suggested: "Then let's look at the scenery?" So he visited the old military hall. The old military hall is a quaint hall, the origin is unknown what age, but the most distinctive: four squares, four squares, length and width are tens of zhang each, the doors on all sides can be opened, they are the main gates, to welcome people from all over the world to enter.

The old military hall is divided into three layers, the upper floor is the top, and the roof is also divided into three layers, mainly for gold glazed tiles. At the top is the ridge, which runs east-west, so you can only tell the direction. Two vast golden dragon arch beads are vacated on the ridge, and then there are four winding coiled dragons looking at the sea, and twenty-four copper bells are hung below. Under the coiling dragon, all split the double eaves, so that the southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest four corners, also three layers, but the green glazed tiles, also hang twenty-four copper bells. Under the golden glazed tiles, the three layers are all extended outward, the carved beams and painted buildings are different, and there are also 24 copper bells hung. The middle floor is a waist and is made of wood. When the four-sided door is opened, four painted red pillars are erected to the left, and four lacquered red pillars are erected to the right, and a few in the middle are suspended in the air to absorb shocks. On the inside of the big pillar, there is the door wall of the main hall, and there are eight purple dark pillars buried on the left and right, and the intervals are also suspended. The rest is shuttered, connected throughout, carved, inlaid with brown dark lines, inlaid with precious jade. Therefore, if the door of the main hall is not opened, it will not be found at all, and the same will be true of the windows. Under the cloister, thirty-six more brass bells were hung, making a total of one hundred and eight brass bells. The wonderful thing is that it welcomes the wind from all sides, so that Lingling makes a noise, and scares the birds, rats and snakes do not dare to come, so it is clean. The lowest layer is the base, and there are three layers of stone steps in a circle. In the corners of each floor, there is a huge purple gold jar, all filled with water for fire prevention. Outside the stone steps, there are 50 zhang of stones paving the road, and the grass often emerges, and it is green. On top of the greenery, facing the main entrance, there are also three pairs of giant purple gold cylinders, and the goal is to lead the way. On the periphery, there are a few sparse ancient trees, and I don't know the age, the purpose is to let people guess and think about the longevity of the main hall. Also on the periphery, plant low holly around the periphery, in order to set off the main hall, but also to protect. In addition to the holly, in the far-reaching northwest corner, there is also a partial hall, and an enemy tower is erected, where there are four old people who are incense, and four people who are in the prime of life who are protected, specifically to prevent the fire. Once the fire broke out, they had to urgently ring the big bell on the enemy's upper floor, and the villagers from all sides came, like a tide, nervously rushing to help.

Tan Long actually knew all this, but the two of them still had to test him. The three of them stood under the ancient tree, so they looked out, and Wang Shun asked, "Do you know how many flowers and dragons there are in this hall?" Tan Long said: "The flower is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, and the dragon is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, this is a legend, but who has counted it?" Zhang Dekui said: "Who has counted?" Just let guess, guess the longevity of the main hall. Tan Long said: "A small fire in a hundred years, a big fire in two hundred years, three hundred years will be destroyed, and after destruction, they will be reborn three times, right?" The two said proudly: "Then you do the math, it's been nearly a thousand years, right?" Tan Long said: "There is a large tomb of the Fu family in Hutou Mountain, which originated in the Song Dynasty, and it has been exactly a thousand years, and it has not been interrupted. The two of them immediately blushed and lost interest. Tan Long hinted at them and asked, "Why is it the Old Army Palace, and not the Old Jun Palace?" Wang Shun said: "The old army hall also originated from the Song Dynasty, but the Qin Dynasty had an old army, so you can calculate it again and see how many years it is?" Zhang Dekui said: "Therefore, it is the treasure of the village and the pride of two thousand years." Wang Shun replied: "So they all came to protect it, the school wanted to occupy it, the Baogong Office wanted to occupy it, and the township office also wanted to occupy it, but they were all beaten away by the villagers, and the villagers finally won." Tan Long said: "Yes, but do you know the origin of Hutou Mountain?" It was named in the Tang Dynasty, and it has been nearly 2,000 years. If the earliest name is called Black Bear Mountain, it is in the Yin Dynasty, and it has been nearly 4,000 years, right? The two of them were momentarily ashamed, and then went to the main hall. They all went up the steps, but when they saw the villagers going in first, they followed suit. Suddenly, suddenly empty, carved beams and painted buildings, the center only stands the old army statue, towering, four faces outward, majestic in all directions, showing a hundred faces of majesty. Therefore, it is not allowed to turn paper, incense, wax, only kowtow, and what you want is strict. The kowtows are all on the embroidered piers, lined up in a row, and the more solemn they are. After prostrating, you will leave immediately, and you will feel at ease empty-handed, but you must remember: you go out through the door, you can't say that you go out through the back door, it's all the main door, this is the rule.

After going out, Tan Long asked: "The old army hall and the Bai'an Temple, why are they the same place, which Bai'an Temple?" Wang Shun said: "It's long gone, it's in the place of the enemy tower." The Bai'an Temple is actually a Taoist temple, and later suffered a fire, because no one repaired it, so it was gone. Tan Long asked again: "But why is it called a temple, and there is a white word?" Wang Shun said: "In order to mythologize it, the temple has a god." As for Bai, maybe the nun's surname is Bai, maybe she is white, I can't tell. But there is a legend about the beautiful white snake. Tan Long said: "Let's talk about it." Wang Shun said: "A long, long time ago, there was a lonely family here, a mother and son. The child was so young that there was no one to play. But one day, a white snake fell from the sky and fell into the backyard of his house. The child found out, so he played with it, and found it cute and extremely docile, so he became friends. Therefore, I fed it, and dug a hole in the ground, spread it comfortably, and then covered it with a stone slab. This white snake actually has spirituality, and he remembers everything, and he grows up day by day. But one day, thunder and lightning struck, and it rained in the sky, and the horror was unbearable. So the child got up and thought about the little white snake in the middle of the night, so he was nervous to save it. However, when he opened the door, he saw a wonderful girl in front of him, but she had no clothes on, so she was pitifully sheltered from the rain. At that time, the child was also older, so he was ashamed, so he hurriedly told Yu Niang, and his mother brought it back. So, looking under the lamp, he liked it very much, and his mother said, 'Be my daughter-in-law, right?' The maiden agreed, and the marriage was consummated that night. Seven days later, everyone in the village knew about it, and they were all happy for them. However, the bully also saw it, so he wanted to rob her. Hateful is robbing? He first came to kill her mother-in-law, then killed her man, and then came to rob her. It was in the middle of the night that they came, and the heavens were angry, and thunder and lightning were shining, and the earth was shaken. The thunder and lightning, like a barrel, opened the canopy of the sky, so that the whole village saw it. I saw that the white snake danced, swayed all over the sky, and then rushed straight down. In an instant, it burned her room, and enveloped her robbers, uprooted, and then tore through the air with a roar. It turned sharply again, and it was still burning and splashing down, throwing it together angrily, and instantly turning into a white temple of the white hermitage. After dawn, people watched nervously, and saw a woman sitting quietly in the temple, it was the woman, but she kept talking about her man, which was the origin of the Bai'an Temple. ”

Tan Long likes to listen to stories the most, so he followed the two of them closely, but unknowingly came to Nanqianhu. Suddenly, there were many people, and he was immediately alert, but it was too late to be afraid. can only go forward hard, all counting on the identity of the public. Sure enough, people were also afraid of him, so he raised his head and carefully examined this mysterious street. I saw that it was very special, and all the houses were tightly covered by high walls, and they couldn't see inside at all. Moreover, the door of each house is the same, and the distance is the same, so it is impossible to distinguish it. People came out from time to time, and they all looked at him, and they were strange people. Tan Long was very uncomfortable, it was a long time, and he finally walked through this mysterious street before turning into the next street, Erdao Street. Erdao Street is a half-street, so I was relieved to finish it quickly. At this time, the two smiled and said, "It's time to rest assured, right?" Tan Long said: "Why is it so big?" The two said: "Isn't it that big?" So he returned, and went back to the village office, and it was time to eat, so he ate. After dinner, it was okay, it was still early, but I didn't want to turn around, so I went to bed early. But who can sleep? Tan Long also recognized his life and slept on the Datong Kang. So they all sat up and wanted to speak again, Tan Long asked, "Which one is the Fang family?" Wang Shun was confused, so he asked: "Who is the Fang family, haven't you heard of it?" Tan Long was depressed, thinking that he was insincere, so he asked: "I ask you, who are you asking?" Wang Shun said: "How can there be a house?" Who the hell are you asking, and what's your name? "How does Tan Long know? But when he was angry, he said: "The Fang family is so famous and the business is so big, do you dare to say that you don't know?" Wang Shun said seriously: "I really don't know, who?" Tan Long said angrily: "Don't say it, don't ask it?" Wang Shun was obviously very aggrieved and couldn't explain it, so he wondered.

At this time, Zhang Dekui said: "I know. Suddenly, both of them listened with their ears pricked up. Zhang Dekui asked: "In your place, is the Fang family very famous?" Tan Long said: "Yes, otherwise what am I asking?" Zhang Dekui said: "That's just a legend. Tan Long jumped up angrily, threw his clothes at him, and scolded: "Why is it so difficult to ask? Wang Shun was also anxious and shouted: "Don't sell Guanzi, misunderstand." Zhang Dekui said: "It's indeed a legend, but it's divided into two words." On the business of the house, there is; On the Fang family, there really isn't. Tan Long scolded again: "I still use a pillow to hit you." So Zhang Dekui said: "According to what you said about the Fang family, in fact, you have already been there and seen it." Suddenly, Tan Long was very puzzled, and asked urgently: "Where is it, I don't know?" Zhang Dekui said: "Just in the heart of the cross street, the first two near Shijingtai, each with a pair of stone lions at the door. Tan Long said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, that is President Wang, and the other family is not surnamed Fang." Zhang Dekui said: "Yes, that family is all, and that family is not." In business, they all play the signboard of the house, but there is no one with the surname Fang. If you don't believe, keep inquiring, and when you do, you hit me in the mouth. Wang Shun was relieved, but Tan Long was very angry and felt guilty, so he simply ignored people. However, Wang Shun was also confused, so he continued to ask: "Who did you listen to, why did you hit the signboard of the Fang family?" Zhang Dekui said: "I guessed, because the people from other villages asked me first, so I asked the people from this village, but no one knew, so I guessed a rough idea." Wang Shun asked, "What are you speculating?" Zhang Dekui said: "Doing business depends on the Fang family's horse road, Qi is stained with its light, and it is left from the Tang Dynasty." At that time, we were also Fang Xuanling's fiefdom here, but his descendants were in Fang Village, so how could we find it? When he said this, Tan Long was still not satisfied, so he went to sleep and fell asleep.

The next day, Tan Long personally confirmed it and stepped into the South Thousand Households alone. He is no longer afraid, he is already a public man. However, he inquired in every possible way, but to no avail, isn't this a hell? Therefore, he came to the place where the firewood was harvested, at the westernmost end of the village. Here, there are a lot of people and a large site, but I still haven't found it. So, he went to President Wang again, and President Wang actually scolded him: "Are you sick? He was angry and cried out, "You are sick." So I ran out of the moat, went straight to the Fangjia horse road, and then went all the way down, and it was actually close to home. So, he decided to go home directly, and unexpectedly met Shanwa, and he felt very kind. He hurriedly asked, "Brother Shanwa, where are you going?" "Well, do you still call yourself brother? Shanwa hurriedly replied: "Ah, you're back, what's okay?" Tan Long said happily: "Okay, everything is good." Shanwa said: "That's good, the pride of our village, you are the first person to go out." Tan Long said: "What am I, what you do is a big thing, and you want to shine for a thousand years." Shanwa smiled: "What's not a thousand years, it's a hard work, and I want to ask for a future life." But you can shine for a thousand years. Tan Long said: "Brother, you can also write crepe?" Shanwa said: "Learn from you, learn and sell now, don't laugh." Go back quickly, I guess my family is in a hurry. My tool is broken, so I'm going to look for it. Therefore, it is very pleasant to say goodbye, and it is still good to be a fellow villager.

When he returned home and saw his father, Tan Long complained, "Why is it like that outside? It's hard to ask. The father asked anxiously, "What do you say, you have been wronged?" Don't rush, speak slowly. Tan Long said: "I want to ask, who is the Fang family, why can't I find him?" The father sank his face and said, "Is this what it is?" Tan Long said: "I checked it all, no." But who do we do business with, what's going on? The father said angrily: "I asked you to go on a business trip, not to inquire about this kind of thing." And bring back the anger, to whom? Don't you know, people's hearts are unpredictable, why? Tan Longwo said: "You still haven't answered my question." The father was even more angry and said, "How can you answer, which village has no secrets?" If you can easily find out, haven't all people lived in vain for thousands of years? Including you, can I speak clearly? "I don't understand, Tan Long is angry, there is nowhere to go, and he wants to quarrel again, so he went out. But when he went out, his father chased him out, and then scolded him: "Put the right thing first and do things seriously." Tan Long ran out angrily again, until he couldn't hear it, and then he thought: What's the matter, why is my father still angry? He thought back to his father's words, pondered them carefully, and suddenly had an epiphany and realized that this was actually a kind of protection. Yes, he finally understood that there should be a secret, a secret that cannot be clearly explained. Therefore, he was cheerful and interested, and he walked briskly.

In the days to come, the three of them still changed villages, village by village, over and over again, and so on for half a year. In half a year, the entire village, the three of them didn't know how many times, which made Tan Long annoyed. So, he finally came to find Township Chief Zhai, but got a high-sounding reason to actively catch the thief and keep the party safe. He regretted it, very helpless, but also a little relieved, and then turned around, day after day, so that he couldn't stand it. But one day, a peasant scolded him: "All pigs, is the thief waiting to arrest him?" "That's right, Tan Long didn't get angry, but thought it was reasonable, so he made another idea. In the evening, he consulted with the two of them and asked, "Do you know who the county magistrate is today?" The two said: "It's your relative, who doesn't know." Tan Long said: "It's good to know, then I'll tell you the truth, I'm not willing to be subservient, so I have to do something." The two of them asked, "What do you want to do, how do you do it?" Tan Long said: "Of course it's a thief, I want to have a big result." but you lead the way, so I will not forget you. The two said: "Who doesn't want results?" However, if you have a stupid brain, it is difficult to get ahead. As for the big results, the three predecessors are all planted, you have to think clearly. Tan Long said: "I'll think of a way, but if you want to show the way, can you know who to arrest the most?" The two said: "Willing to listen to the dispatch." Tan Long was angry and shouted, "How can I be transferred, where will I be sent?" I don't want to talk about it first. Zhang Dekui said: "The four thousand households in the north are the wildest, but there are only a few people, but a rat harms a nest of soup, which is actually two harms." ”

Wang Shun hurriedly said: "I am a native of Beiqianhu, I know best, the two evils are Hou Wen and Hou Wu, in fact, they are two brothers, both are the head of the thief, and each has a thief under him." The reason why it is difficult to catch is because the two are too smart, very alert, and they are connected to other villages in all directions, so they can't catch them. Zhang Dekui said: "That's true, they have been arrested for many years, and they have dragged down the case handlers." Therefore, the two thieves are very arrogant and boast of comparing themselves to Tian Kui, but who is Tian Kui like him? Do all the bad things. Tan Long was immediately excited and said, "I also heard that my hands are covered with blood debts." But if you want to ask, why can't you always catch it? Wang Shun said: "I said that I was too smart, and I was absolutely at the top, but I used my cleverness to harm others." As a result, whether poor or rich, how many people hung beams, jumped into rivers, and committed suicide, all of them are hard to write. Zhang Dekui said: "Yes, it is said that the cunning rabbit has three holes, but they have more than ten holes." After listening, Tan Long became more excited, but said disdainfully: "That's not me, with me, their opponent has arrived." The two thieves must know that heaven is fair. However, the two said: "This is a big deal, you are eating for nothing, but who can deal with it?" Tan Long said: "It's okay if you don't believe it for the time being, what I want is the big case, and I can't sleep in the small case." They asked, "What do you want to do?" Tan Long said: "Explore, investigate, clear the periphery, report to me every day, and then wait for the opportunity." It's the same old thing again, and the two don't think so, but Tan Long vows: "Justice must be given to the people." So Tan Long arranged, the three of them divided the labor, and investigated one by one. The next thing is to transfer to the village, but the harvest is small, and it has been almost half a year. Therefore, Tan Long made a summary and only caught a few thieves, and it was not powerful, so he had to let them go. But there are many major cases, and nameless corpses are always shocked, not only reporting that someone jumped into the river, but also reporting that someone hanged himself. So Tan Long was criticized, he was infinitely angry, ashamed of the obvious provocation.

He pondered, could it be that the two thieves were really smart? No, yes, it's really vicious. When committing a crime, it is light and light, leaving no clues, but it is often extinguished as a whole. Therefore, he swore again: If you don't destroy these two thieves, you will have no face to live. So he increased the inventory and kept it day and night, but found that the two thieves could always run fast. Why are you always in front of yourself, is it the people around you? He was suspicious and vigilant. Therefore, I thought about it alone and judged the case alone, but all the clues were broken. Moreover, he found that the villagers were reluctant to cooperate, and often formed a consensus and said: I am sleeping, I don't know anything, in fact, it is self-preservation. He also felt that someone was helping to abuse him, and secretly stared at him in an attempt to sell him well. So he was exhausted, and he couldn't find it anymore. However, he motivates himself: the more poor the mountains and dark the waters, the more bright the willows and flowers. Therefore, his fighting spirit is even stronger, as if he has seen that the future is full of splendor. In this way, he first warns the people around him, but he also needs to use it again. But how to prevent it? So he deliberately retreated, pretending to be annoyed, and then he was alone in danger, secretly investigating, so he went deep into Koujiabao. Among the four villages, the people of Koujiabao are the most cute, all the houses are short, the eaves are set on the eaves, and the eaves are covered with small stone walls, and there are dark organs, unless the disaster occurs in the Xiao wall. Sure enough, disaster came from the Xiao Wall, and he found a strange Taoist priest who loved to visit the homes of beautiful women, and his favorite was the newlywed family. So he followed alone, and only then did he know: the Taoist priest lived in Koujiabao, a small courtyard for one person, and went to Huayuan every day. After following for a long time, he also knew that the Taoist priest was indeed a ghost, and he often inquired in advance. Therefore, Tan Long decided to close the net and wait for the next opportunity.

The opportunity finally came, and the Taoist priest visited another family, which was a newlywed family. So, after the Taoist priest left, Tan Long made a special appointment to meet the family, and sure enough, the bride was very beautiful, like a flower and jade. Therefore he told the master of the house, and in the evening, he was more cautious, and departed. When he returned, he said to his people, "Don't go out at night, because there's something wrong." Then he waited until midnight. In the middle of the night, he took the king out and ordered him to go first. In the second half of the night, he called Zhang Dekui out, and the two went to Koujiabao. When they arrived, they hid under low walls, waiting for their prey to appear. Near dawn, the prey appeared, floated in, and poured oil on the door. Then he saw that the door was silently opened, and he went in again, so the two of them followed suit, and were extremely careful. When they reached the inner door, the two spread their nets and waited for the prey to come out again. But he heard a small movement in the house, and then there was a "bang", and then there was a sudden shout, and suddenly the prey jumped out, rushed straight into the rope net, and then crashed down. Suddenly, the two of them hurriedly ran, grabbed the rope net, and then pressed it nervously. However, the prey has a lot of strength, and it is all fine, and it is desperate. Fortunately, the people in the house came out in time and supported nervously, Wang Shun put the steel knife on the other party's neck and shouted: "If you move again, you really don't want to live." "The prey is obedient, so the flowers are tied up. At this time, the family recognized the old man, and the old man scolded, and the son hurriedly beat him. Tan Long said: "If you want to keep it, it's still useful." So he was escorted back to the township office and urgently arraigned.

In the house, Tan Long said: "Let me put on my pants, it's so cold." Wang Shun said: "Dress him?" Almost stepped on my head, thanks to that basin of water. Zhang Dekui smiled: "What is it like for you to hide under the bed and eavesdrop on the love of the two people?" Wang Shun shouted: "Roll on, they are all frozen to death, and what do you think?" As he spoke, he kicked the Taoist priest and scolded, "My clothes are soaked." The Taoist priest actually disdained, looked at him with a sneaky eye, and said contemptuously: "Even if I carry it, what can I do?" Zhang Dekui also kicked him and scolded: "Don't look at the time, dare to be arrogant?" The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Don't laugh at anyone, aren't they all a ball?" His words were obviously a provocation to Tan Long, so he was beaten by the two of them again. Tan Long said, "No, I know what he means." But I am a ruler, and you are a thief, and you are guilty of it in my hand. The Taoist priest said arrogantly: "So what, it won't lead to death, right?" Tan Long smiled: "Want to die? It's cheaper. Don't think you can't help it, just wait and see. It was close to winter, and the Taoist priest was shivering with cold, so the three of them sat on the kang. At this moment, the two sides confronted each other, one side was cunning, and the other side looked at him with disdain. After a long time, Tan Long said: "You think you can't die, I will make you more uncomfortable than death." You want to die again, and I still don't want you to die, how can it be enough? The Taoist priest ignored it, but closed his eyes. The two said: "Why is this product hob meat, what should I do?" ”

Tan Long said: "Listen, Taoist, you are not alone, the second elder is still alive, and his home is in Wang Village." In fact, you still have a wife, a son and a daughter, and your home is in Han Village, and you still rely on you to support you. Your real name is Liu Zhenyi, an uncle, two aunts, one lives in Mengcun, and the other lives in Zhongnan, and your identity is subordinate to Louguantai. After Tan Long finished speaking, he looked at him coldly, and the Taoist priest opened his eyes. Tan Long continued: "Think about it, how many people are there, you can imagine what I will do." You alone are not afraid of death, and you can't die, and I won't let you die. But how do these people live? I'm afraid to live, I don't have a face to live, and I can't live well. The Taoist priest looked at him in horror and said, "One person does the work and one person does the other, let me die." Tan Long said coldly: "Isn't that cheap?" So many things have happened in the entire thousand households, and so many people have been wronged, how can this revenge be avenged? You can't afford to die if you're not alone. The Taoist priest lay on the ground, and Tan Long said again: "Now, it's not a question of whether you die or not. I want to say, I'm afraid the whole county should know that not only your relatives, but also your family's ancestral grave. I also want to say that it is not difficult to pile things together and make up a few stories. The Taoist priest completely collapsed, trembling all over, and then knelt on the ground and begged: "I am guilty, I confess my guilt, I am not a human being." However, Tan Long said: "You should know, I don't want this." The Taoist priest was so frightened that he called his grandfather, kowtowed again and again, and his face was covered with blood. Therefore, the two of them paid tribute and said, "You still have a way." But Tan Long dealt with Lao Dao specifically, and said: "Unless you atone for your sins, don't try to get me, I still want a big thing, otherwise don't talk about it." At this time, the two reminded: "Let me explain first, and then record the drawing." Tan Long said, "Is this still serious?" Taoist priest, you say. ”

Taoist priests, just seek self-preservation. No, it's a relative, so he confesses, and then draws a charge. But Tan Long continued: "This is just a confession, not a meritorious service, you know I don't want it." The Taoist priest said, "What do you want to know?" Tan Long said: "Then it's up to you, I'm just measuring, and it's not enough to see if the weight is enough." You beware, I'm greedy, otherwise I won't be able to look down on it. So Lao Dao told a shocking secret and said: "I know the hiding place of Hou Wen and Hou Wu, in the big belly of the statue of the North Thousand Households Land Temple, do you think this is enough?" Tan Long said: "Enough is enough, only if you catch it, it counts." Therefore, the old way is to go down. The three of them were so excited that they thought about the next step in their arrest.
