Chapter 123: The Mighty Ghost Green House (I)
So, Bai Mo left Lu Xifeng's official residence alone in the name of going out to pick flowers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In one afternoon, the former Tingwei Qing and the current county magistrate of Yunxi County, Bai Mo Bai Zishu, went to Jingcheng County alone, visited more than 20 families and ordinary people from all walks of life, learned from them about the changes in Jingcheng County over the years, and listened to the voices of the broad masses of the people. Bai Xian Ling said that although he has stepped down from his post as a court lieutenant, he is still very concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood issues, especially the public security problems in Jingcheng County, and if the people of Jingcheng have grievances that are difficult to appeal, Bai Xian Ling can use private channels to express their hearts to the people of Jingcheng on behalf of the government and the opposition.
In the evening, accompanied by Zhou Zhengren, a tailor in the west of the city, Bai Xian Ling inspected the garment industry in Jingcheng County, and Bai County Ling said: The city's agriculture and industry, as long as they abide by the law and develop their moral industry, the imperial court will treat them equally and will never discriminate against them. Tailor Zhou expressed his satisfaction with Bai County's speech.
The above is Bai Mo's own boring obscenity, and the following is the actual situation:
"Lord Bai, you have to be the master of the grass people!"
Zhou Zhengren cried loudly, hugged Bai Mo's thighs, and wiped and wiped on his clothes. Bai Mo didn't tell the honest tailor that he was no longer a court lieutenant, and when he introduced his identity, he didn't add the word "former".
It's not that Bai Mo wants to shake off his official authority.
If there was a group of ministers on the other side, maybe Bai Mo would seize the opportunity to be majestic, but in the face of his father and fellow villagers, he really didn't have that mood. The reason why Bai Mo didn't tell the story was because he was worried that if the other party knew that he no longer had any real power, he would keep silent because he had no confidence in Bai Mo and was afraid of Lu Xifeng's possible revenge.
Bai Mo didn't plan to use the power of the official face to deal with Lu Xifeng, now that he had fallen into the wilderness, it was also excellent to learn from the heroes of the rivers and lakes to be happy and revenge. The reason why he came out to conduct an "investigation" was simply because he didn't know much about the real situation, and he only believed the words of the Cherry Lychee sisters.
"If you have any grievances, you can tell me, Bai will definitely make decisions for you, don't cry first."
Bai Mo was kind enough to soothe him, and Zhou Zhengren said a lot of words in a daze while crying, but unfortunately Bai Mo didn't understand a word. Bai Mo had no choice but to continue to appease and wait for Zhou Zhengren's mood to return to calm.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Zhengren said slowly: "Lord Bai, it's like this. ”
"It happened the summer before last."
"The villain has three sons and two daughters, all of whom are smart and delicate, and are very loved by the neighbors, but these five children are naughty, and the villain really can't discipline them, Confucius said, the father is kind and filial to the son, and the villain can only use this sentence to talk about *** I hope these children will be good and grow up quickly, and they may be sympathetic to my father's difficulties. In those two days, about the fifteenth day of July, they said that they were going to go to the small river outside the city to pick up shells, and the villain heard that a few children had drowned in this river before, and said that they would not let a few of them go, but they did not expect that while the villain was not paying attention, they still let them slip away. ”
"Although they are naughty, they usually don't worry the villain too much, no matter where they go to play, they will definitely come back at lunchtime, but that day at dinner, only me, my mother-in-law and the youngest girl in the family ate at home. The villain immediately felt that something was not quite right......"
"So you searched all night?"
The whites of Zhou Zhengren's eyes were bloodshot.
He smiled miserably and said, "The villain searched for three days and three nights, and finally fainted by the river. The villain doesn't know how he survived those days, the three sons can't be found, and God only left a little girl for the villain...... Isn't this the end of the day? ”
Bai Mo immediately corrected his opinion: "The girl is also the essence of your blood, and she has inherited your blood. ”
Zhou Zhengren pouted and said, "Could it be that she is pointing to her placing a tablet at her husband's house for the ancestors of our old Zhou family?" ”
Bai Mo was dumbfounded.
Zhou Zhengren continued: "When the villain woke up, it was on the night of the fourth day. It was dark all around, the cool breeze was blowing, there were no stars or moon in the sky, it should be raining. The villain's limbs were weak, and he was hungry and thirsty, so he had to give up and continue to search, and just wanted to go home in the dark as soon as possible, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly saw a fire by the river......"
"The fire was red, hazy, as if it were one place, as if it were a thousand places, as if it were in this world, and as if it was in another world on the other side...... The villain wondered, did he encounter a ghost? ”
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."
"The villain has an intuition, even if there are many ghosts gathered there, maybe they are the ghosts who drowned in the river over the years, and there may be children of villains in them, if that's the case, the villain should go over and take a look, whether it is a person or a ghost, at least he can say a word, it is not ......"
"But the villain is still timid, he didn't dare to get too close, he only dared to go forward quietly, for fear that the group of ghosts would find out...... Later, the villain finally saw what the fires were, the red lanterns one by one. ”
"A small, elegantly decorated building that rises from the ground. The villain clearly remembered that the place was just a river beach. Outside the small building, there is a circle of big men, well-dressed officials are coming in and out, and a few little girls dressed in flowers and branches are greeting guests outside, like a kiln in the city. It's just that those little girls have immature faces, and they don't seem to be ten years old......"
Hearing this, Bai Mo was thoughtful and frowned: "Should it be...... You found your son in the midst of these 'little girls'? ”
Tears flowed down again to the already wrinkled face.
"Your Excellency is wise, exactly. The villain's son is dead and unrelievable, and he has become a **** in the underworld...... Woo......"
Zhou Zhengren muttered a lot of words later, but like at the beginning, Bai Mo couldn't understand a word.
"In the underworld, Bai is an official in the world, and he can't control it......"
Zhou Zhengren wiped his tears and said in surprise: "Isn't Your Majesty the Son of Heaven?" God's son, shouldn't he be able to take care of everything? ”
Bai Mo shook his head: "The Ancient Seven Emperors have long been peerless in heaven and earth, and they are also in possession of people and ghosts. ”
"But...... How can we manage them in Lu County? ”
"Huh?"
"The villain saw with his own eyes that the ghost of the small building nodded to Lu County's order, very respectful, and thought that the officials of our court could already manage the underworld......
"Be specific!"
"Yes, yes, the villain was just about to leave there, when he saw a carriage driving past in the dark, and it was the county commander of Luxi Fenglu who got off the carriage! Lu County Commander and the ghost messenger guarding the door gave a few words, and those ghosts were very respectful to Lu County Order like the people in the city...... After that, Lu Xianling entered the small building. (To be continued.) )
