Volume 1 Talking about the Lost Pearls Chapter 78 Search and Arrest (2)

Sooner or later, the officers and soldiers will find out here, Lingyun Mountain is not only one passage, on the side behind the three-person pavilion, there is another trail that can go down the back mountain, at this time, of course, the three of them can pull their legs and run, but with Chen Shuqing here, Pu Zixuan has no fear, Su Sanniang also offered to see if the officers and soldiers still recognized her, so the three of them sat down on the spot and waited for the officers and soldiers to arrive.

After a while, a team of three people finished checking the place they were supposed to check, and found nothing, and returned to the compound, one of them pointed in the direction of the pavilion and said, "Huh? There's a pavilion there, and there's people in it, so let's go, go and have a look. ”

The three officers and soldiers then walked towards the pavilion and arrived in front of Pu Zixuan, and the person in front said in surprise: "Look, a man and two women, hey, this man still has hair!" Then he asked the three of them, "Who are you?" Recruit from the truth! ”

Su Sanniang pretended to be innocent and said: "Adults, we are here to see the Big Buddha in Leshan, and we are not bad people to stay here for a night." ”

The officer and soldier looked Su Sanniang up and down with his horse-long face, ignored her, and asked Pu Zixuan, "Why do you grow your hair?" ”

Pu Zixuan said innocently: "Adults, I am obviously a bald front and back braid, just like you, why do you say that I have long hair?" ”

An officer and soldier in the back said: "Your hair is clearly a bandit's hairstyle, why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?" ”

Pu Zixuan said: "I'm not talking nonsense, isn't this braid?" You touch it. ”

Ma Face said: "Damn it, dare to tease us!" Don't talk nonsense with him, call Master Cao! He shouted at the compound: "Lord Cao, Lord Cao, there is a bandit here, come quickly!" ”

It seems that Lord Cao is the one who was arguing with Abbot Shiran just now, and when he heard the shout, he hurriedly brought two more people over.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Shuqing blew in her mouth and turned Pu Zixuan's hair into braids.

Shaoqing, the previous three plus the three behind, a total of six people stood in front of Pu Zixuan, and the surnamed Cao asked: "This is the bandit?" ”

Ma Face said: "Exactly, look at his hair." ”

The surnamed Cao saw Pu Zixuan's braids and said to them: "This is obviously normal hair, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

When the horse face looked at Pu Zixuan again, his face changed greatly: "Huh? This, this, this...... That wasn't the case just now! He looked at the ground again, and didn't find any broken hair, so he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and asked for help from the two people before: "You also saw it before, he obviously has hair!" ”

The two of them also nodded blankly, and Pu Zixuan said even more innocently: "Lord Cao, I have always had this hairstyle, I don't know why they are messing around, I think that if I don't see clearly in the night, or I see that I am dressed so well, and there are two beautiful women accompanying me, they want to deliberately blackmail us." ”

When the horse's face heard this, as if he had been kicked in the horse's buttocks, he said angrily: "You, you, you bloody mouth!" ”

Pu Zixuan carried the braid and said to the surnamed Cao: "If Lord Cao touches it, whether this braid is the real price." ”

Ma Yan said angrily: "Lord Cao, it's really not a subordinate talking nonsense, this ...... What the hell is going on, my subordinates don't understand! ”

The surnamed Cao raised his hand to signal him not to say more, and asked Pu Zixuan, "Who are you?" ”

Pu Zixuan said: "I am from Jinan, Shandong, and I came to Sichuan to travel, these two girls are my concubines, one surnamed Huang and the other surnamed Chen, both from Shandong, I don't know what happened to offend these officials?" ”

The surnamed Cao asked: "Is there a waist card?" ”

The waist card is the most proof of identity, if it is not a dignitary, generally only wealthy businessmen will spend money to find someone to customize. In the past, Pu Zixuan had nothing to do in Lijiang, and he once found someone to make a waist card, writing his name and the words "Picking Moon Building", but he didn't take it with him when he went out, but Shicai had already asked Chen Shuqing to turn a stone into the same waist card, but he added the word "Jinan" in front of "Picking Moon Building", and handed it to the surname Cao.

The surnamed Cao looked through it with a torch, handed it back to Pu Zixuan, and asked, "Your name is Pu Zixuan?" ”

Pu Zixuan said: "Yes, I am a descendant of the great writer Pu Songling, have you read "Strange Tales from Liaozhai"? It was written by my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. ”

The surnamed Cao replied disdainfully: "Hehe, your surname Pu is the descendant of Pu Songling, then my surname is Cao, isn't it Cao Xueqin's descendant?" ”

Pu Zixuan said: "That's still your ancestor's achievements are higher." ”

The surnamed Cao stopped talking nonsense and said to his subordinates: "This gentleman is not a person with long hair, and the second is not from Yunnan. Then he hugged his fist at Pu Zixuan and said: "How offended, I still look at Haihan." ”

Ma Yan wanted to say something, but there was nothing to say, so he had to rub his eyes constantly.

Pu Zixuan said magnanimously: "I think Master Cao is also a sensible person, and there is no need to apologize for misunderstandings, but the people's hearts and minds are a big issue related to the life and death of the country. ”

The surnamed Cao was displeased to be taught a lesson, but he still responded patiently: "We understand this without you saying it, but bandits are not a good thing, now that they are gone, I don't expect that the imperial court will completely eradicate them next year, you few, if you see any suspicious person, you must come to report to the government." ”

Seeing that Pu Zixuan said yes again and again, the surnamed Cao led everyone to the compound, already worry-free, Chen Shuqing suddenly thought of something, and said in horror: "Oh, I forgot that Tian Jinkun is still in the backyard, he is so far away from me, how can it change?" ”

Pu Zixuan said: "It's okay, I have already told the abbot master before, and he also estimated that there might be officers and soldiers to search for him at night, so he arranged for the Tian family father and son to live in a family three miles behind the temple." After Tian Jinkun recovered his memory, he was so afraid of the stupid things he did that he didn't dare to slack off at all, don't worry. ”

Hearing this, the second monk of Su Sanniang was puzzled and said, "What are you talking about?" Tian Jinkun, didn't he die while crossing the river? ”

Pu Zixuan smiled: "Hehe, what you see doesn't mean it's the truth." The Tian family's father and son are unharmed, and you will know tomorrow. ”

At this time, Lord Cao, who returned to the compound, asked, "Have you finished the search?" ”

An officer and soldier said: "Report to Lord Cao, several courtyards and all the wings have been searched, and no bandits have been found." ”

The surnamed Cao said to the abbot of Shiran: "Abbot, if you are offended, we will leave." ”

The abbot said kindly: "The adults have worked hard, and the hour is not early, why don't you have some breakfast in our temple?" ”

The officers and soldiers were busy with nothing and had no intention of staying, so they hurriedly left Lingyun Temple after refusing.
