Chapter 56: Savior
In the county magistrate's office, Yang Tingyong woke up when he was in Chen, got up as usual, and put on the county official uniform under the service of his wife. Today is not the day of duty, so I don't have to wear such a formal dress, but how difficult it has been in Hebian County recently, and he, the county magistrate, is not stable, so he has to be ready at all times.
Looking at the emu pattern on the complement of the official uniform, Yang Ting let out a long sigh, I don't know how long I can wear this official uniform.
Of course, Mrs. Zhixian knew what was on his mind, and comforted: "Master, evil does not prevail over good, the monster is so arrogant and unscrupulous, there will definitely be a master to take it away." ”
Yang Tingyong felt his beloved wife's intentions, patted her hand, but smiled bitterly in his heart, there must be a master, the question is whether he can be a master.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and it was coming straight to his room.
Yang Ting's heart suddenly, shouldn't it be a monster making trouble again? These days, people have come to report on this almost every day, and the monster is so fierce that it makes him tremble every time.
As his thoughts were turning, the voice of the old servant Wang Fugui came from outside the door: "Master, master, great joy." There are high people in the county, except for the fierce ghosts in the murderous house last night. ”
Wedding? Expert? The two names rushed into Yang Ting's heart at once, shocking him to a daze.
"Master, this is a great thing." Madame hurriedly reminded, and her face was also happy.
Yang Tingyong woke up in shock, a burst of ecstasy rose from the bottom of his heart, his heart pounded, making his head a little dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he still didn't believe it, rushed out of the room in a few steps, and said to the servant Fugui next to Hou Li: "Is it really a master?" Won't it be another trick? ”
Such so-called masters have come several times, and they all showed great ability at the beginning, some people can shoot arrows for thousands of meters, and some people can even temporarily suppress the ghosts and ghosts of the murderous house, but in the end they still failed and ended up dying.
Gave birth to hope several times, and disappointed several times, which made him deeply understand the power of monsters, and it is useless for ordinary masters to come, and they have to be high-level talents.
When asked like this, Wang Fugui couldn't say for sure, and hesitated: "It should be." The ghosts in the murderous house are all clean. There are still ghosts in the form of Hu Guangyong's family on the streets, but they are all dead. ”
Yang Ting's expectations in his heart were a little lighter, but since he could get rid of the powerful ghosts, there should still be some Taoism, and he would definitely go and see him.
"In that case, you go and bring this master to the county office...... Forget it, I'd better go see him! Where is he now? ”
At this time, it's better not to know the county, if the other party is really a person who has gained the Tao, it will make the other party unhappy, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"I heard that it is still in Hu Guangyong's house, and there are already many people around there." Fugui said carefully.
Hu Guangyong's house is a murderous house, Yang Tingyong hesitated a little, but then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go see him." Wait, call me all the county officials. ”
The murderous house is too powerful, and although the officials are useless, there is always a psychological comfort when they bring it.
The county by the river is not big, and the sedan chair driver hurried desperately, and carried the sedan chair to the vicinity of the murderous house after twenty minutes.
The most striking thing here is a group of corpses standing frozen at the door of the house, all of them are fierce and vicious, with green faces and fangs, even if they are motionless at the moment, they can still clearly see the resentment on their faces, which is very terrifying.
The magistrate lifted the curtain and glanced at it from a distance, and felt a cool breath in his heart.
Hu Guangyong's matter, he still has some reasons. At the beginning, he wanted to teach the other party a lesson and break his arrogance, but he didn't expect the other party to be so strong, and he actually hit the wall and died that night, which was really unexpected.
"Stop, stop at the corner, don't come near yet, let me take a closer look." After all, Yang Tingyong didn't dare to approach the murderous mansion.
Although it is daytime, the corpse is motionless again, there are still many people around it, and I haven't seen the corpse riot and hurt people, but as the saying goes, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor, Hu Guangyong died because of him, he was very unsteady, and he was afraid that he would get bad luck if he approached him.
In the crowd ahead, there was a homeless man standing in the middle of the crowd, dancing and vividly telling what he had seen and heard last night.
"At that time, as soon as I saw the two Taoist masters, I knew that the ghosts in the house were going to be unlucky. I can see it clearly, the male Taoist waved his hand, and the whole street was as bright as the day, and the ghost had no place to hide, so he ran out of the house, and was killed by the female Taoist priest with a sword, amazing, really powerful. ”
A strong man didn't believe it and asked, "Since it was killed with a sword, why is there no wound on this ghost's body?" ”
The homeless man sneered, "Guan Butcher, you don't know anything." The weapon you use as a Taoist chief is your butcher's knife, it's all something born out of thin air, of course there is no hole in poking people, but poking ghosts is a poke and an accurate. ”
There is indeed some truth in this statement, and there is indeed a legend that a master of the Tao can condense the sword in the void, and everyone nodded one after another.
When the magistrate heard this, he said to a servant: "You go, ask where the two Taoist chiefs are?" ”
The official took the order and left.
Seeing that everyone was paying attention to him, the homeless man was fluttering, and was caught by one person in the cold, and was about to get angry, but he saw the jacket on the other party's body, which was the dress of the officers and soldiers, and his body softened as soon as he shook, and said with a sneer: "Official, what are your orders?" ”
"Where's the Dao Chief?"
The homeless man pointed to the gate of the murderous house: "I went in last night, and I haven't come out, as if I have posted ghosts everywhere inside." ”
The official nodded, let the homeless man go, and went back to report to Yang Tingyong.
Yang Tingyong listened carefully, thought for a long time, and finally felt that it was inappropriate to enter the house, so he took out a name card from his sleeve and handed it to the official, and said: "You take my post into the house, find the Taoist chief, and say that the magistrate of Hebian County invites them to come out to talk about it." ”
He saw that the face of the named official turned pale, and he knew that he was afraid, so he pointed to another official: "You can go with him, and you can take care of each other." ”
The official who was accidentally shot trembled in his heart, his legs were weak, and he almost fell. Mother, I actually got this ghost errand. This magistrate is really killing people, he doesn't dare to enter the house, and he is joking with other people's lives.
But the magistrate is a dignified seven-grade official, he is just a lowly servant, how dare he resist. There was no way, the two officials took the post, each with a blue and white face, and entered Hu Guangyong's mansion tremblingly.
The magistrate waited patiently outside, and after the tea time, the two officials ran out, although their steps were fast, but the look of fear on their faces was much less.
"What's going on in the house?" Yang Tingyong hurriedly asked.
"There are ghost charms hanging everywhere in the house, and the inside is warm and full of anger, not like a murderous house at all." The officer's face was full of disbelief.
"Is that the chief there?" Yang Tingyong breathed a sigh of relief.
The officer's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "The Taoist chief is here, but he refuses to come out, saying..."
"What do they say? Tell me the truth! Yang Ting became more and more anxious in his heart.
"They said, 'Since your lordship is here, why don't you go into the house and talk about it?' Then he sent us out. The official said.
In the house, Bai Tingxuan saw the official go out, and said suspiciously: "Sun Ran, isn't this okay?" What should I do if I get angry with Zhi County? ”
Sun Ran said with a smile: "If he can rush to the outside of the house in person, it means that he is already at the end of the road, and he will seize any opportunity." Although there will be unhappiness in the heart, it will definitely not have a seizure, and it will come in person. ”
"What's in it for that?" Although the magistrate will give in, it doesn't seem to be a good thing to make the magistrate unhappy.
Sun Ran smiled faintly and said: "Zhixian is a seventh-grade official, and he is arrogant. And our most important task is to protect the safety of the county. In contrast, demon removal is a trivial matter. To protect him, you need the cooperation of the other party, it's too arrogant. , I am grinding away his arrogance step by step. As soon as he enters, he submits to our first step and acknowledges our authority. There is a first step, there is a second step, and slowly he will get used to our arrangement. ”
Regardless of whether the demon can be eliminated or not, but Yang Ting must not have an accident with this big VIP, this is the biggest point, if the other party does not cooperate, the work will not be easy to carry out.
They showed arrogance, and on the other hand, they also told Yang Tingyong that I am a capable person, not the kind of slave who comes and goes when he is called.
"I'll make a bet with you, he'll be in in ten minutes." Sun Ran smiled.
"I don't bet with you." Bai Tingxuan refused, so she didn't do this kind of thing that had no chance of winning.
Outside the house.
Yang Ting was very unhappy in his heart.
In this era, Confucian culture was orthodox, Taoism and everything was biased, and the social status was very low. He was born in Jinshi and is known as the magistrate of Baili Hou. He felt that his actions were enough to Corporal Lixian, and the other party still didn't appreciate it, it was really ...... If it was usual, if a Taoist priest shouted at him like this, he would definitely win the thirty boards first.
This is not because Yang Tingyong is arrogant in his own personality, but the general values of the entire Ming society.
I am orthodox, I am a county parent, and you Taoist priest is my son in the county I manage, and you dare not buy your father's account, which is really against the sky. Subconsciously, Yang Tingyong had such an idea.
However, now that there is a request for help, Yang Tingyong finally has no choice, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's go into the house!" ”
It's okay for the official to go in, and he should be okay too. He wanted to see what kind of character he was, and he dared not to take him as a magistrate in his eyes.
