"Blind people are really weird!" Looking at the calm earth, Wang Xu had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He had talked to the blind man before, and when he heard the blind man say that he had obtained two inheritances, he was skeptical.

After all, an invisible blind man can carry the magic with one hand and exorcise talisman with the other, and it is not easy to survive in the chaotic world where demons are rampant.

Now that I look at it, the blind man at least has the Door Escape Technique, and even, even what he said before is true or false, after all, the person who knows the Escape Technique, unless he is willing, will not be caught by Liao Qiang and ordinary Jinyi Wei.

"It's none of my business, I don't know this blind man, it has nothing to do with him." Seeing that the blind man who saved himself ran away, Cui Hong hurriedly explained.

Wang Xu glanced at Cui Hongji, of course he knew that the blind man saving people was purely kind-hearted, and it could not be related to Cui Hongji.

What he was thinking about was that on the day when the blind man stole the money, he could have escaped with his own land, why was he caught by Liao Qiang and Jinyiwei.

By chance, or premeditated, or the blind man's game is in the dust, purely because he thinks it's fun.

After thinking about it, Wang Xu had no clue, Wang Xu believed that if the blind man had another premeditated plan, everyone would see each other again, so he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, glanced at the Jinyi guard who caught up, and said: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's go." ”

After taking a few steps forward, Wang Xu looked back at Cui Hongji's donkey, and one turned over and rode on the donkey: "Scholar, your donkey has been requisitioned." ”

Wang Xu hit the donkey and left, heading towards the county seat.

Cui Hong gradually shook his head and hurriedly ran forward: "My lord, don't go, that's not my donkey, I borrowed it from the village!" ”

"Go back and buy another one." Wang Xu didn't look back, and shook his hand like a gold leaf.

Looking at the gold leaves nailed under his feet and sinking into the yellow mud, Cui Hong gradually squatted on the ground and dug it with his hands.

After a while, the gold leaves were dug out of the yellow mud, and there was still the shadow of Wang Xu and his party at this time.

"This brocade-clothed guard Qianhu looks fierce and vicious, but I didn't expect people to be good." Holding the gold leaf, Cui Hong gradually had a good impression of Wang Xu, and muttered: "It's okay now, with this gold leaf, not only can you buy another donkey, but you can even have the travel expenses for the next exam." ”

Tongcheng County...

"Open the door, open the door!"

"The gates of the city have been closed, and I will enter the city and come back tomorrow."

The rain was heavy, and when the group arrived in Tongcheng County, it was dark, and the city gate was also closed by the night officer.

"Open the door, we are Jinyiwei."

"Jin Yiwei!"

Hearing the name Jinyiwei, the night officer on duty hurriedly opened the door, knowing that these uncles couldn't be provoked.

Crunch...

The heavy gate was pulled open from the inside, and the night officer took four city gate soldiers to look carefully, and there were six white-faced brocade guards, and one was riding on a donkey, obviously without an umbrella, but the clothes on his body were not wet.

"Don't alarm anyone, let's rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow." With the sound of words, a group of people entered the city.

When the figure disappeared into the rainy night, a city gate soldier holding a lantern trembled and said, "Head, those people's faces are so white, they are as white as ghosts." ”

Another city gate soldier answered: "Yes, and the big official who rides a donkey, he is not wet at all, as if the rain can't catch him, we won't meet ghosts, right?" ”

", you're going to get drenched in the rain outside, and your face will be white, as for the big official who rides the donkey..."

The city gate official swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and whispered: "I heard that martial arts powerhouses, the true qi around the body automatically protects the body, and it will not be wet if it rains." ”

"That's amazing!" The gatekeepers are unbelievable, they have seen the people who practice martial arts, and they have also heard of internal strength, but they can't imagine that they can shelter from the wind and rain.

"Okay, this is not something we can think about, let's guard the city gate well, and go home and hug my daughter-in-law at dawn." The city gate official glanced at the heavy rain outside the city and shrunk his neck: "Close the door, close the door, go back and see if the dog meat is cooked." ”

The ancients had no entertainment at night, and when it was dark, closing the door and making children was the right way.

Coupled with the rain today, the entire Tongcheng County seems to have fallen asleep, except for the green building and the casino are still operating normally, and the shops on the street are not open.

"My lord, there is a code, our Jinyi Guard has a stronghold in front." Liao Qiang's face was pale, and he said with exhaustion.

Wang Xu nodded slightly, Jinyiwei supervises the world, and basically all cities have Jinyiwei's strongholds.

Generally speaking, such an inferior county town is usually in charge of a small banner with seven or eight ordinary brocade guards.

If it is a high-class county, the person in charge is the general flag, and the number of people will rise to a dozen.

Following the guidance of the code, Wang Xu and his party quickly found a car and horse dealership.

In ancient times, it was inconvenient to travel, and ordinary people could not afford to raise carriages and horses, so carriages and horses came into being.

Just like the modern car rental system, this is also a big market, and people come and go every day, and it doesn't seem to be complicated at all.

In the system of Jinyiwei, grain and rice shops, inns, dart boards, green buildings, and carriage and horse shops are the industries that are used to cover the most identities.

With these industries as a cover, it is not only conducive to gathering intelligence, but also a kind of income generation for Jinyiwei.

Otherwise, if there were so many brocade guards in the whole world, all relying on the appropriation of the imperial court, they would have been scolded by the ministers of the imperial court.

Knock knock...

"Who?"

"Coming to your hometown, hurry up and open the door."

The door opened, and the old man in the robe, his eyes immediately narrowed.

If a layman can't understand it, can they insiders still not understand it.

One thousand households with gold medals, one hundred households with silver medals, five general flags and small flags with bronze and iron medals, any one of them is higher than the official position of the big boss of their chariot and horse shop.

"Yo, go inside, our big boss has just fallen asleep, I'll go and call him."

It's hard for other people to say, the porter who can guard the door for the carriage and horse shop is definitely an old brocade guard.

Looking at his seventy and eighty years, Wang Xu nodded slightly, got off the donkey and walked inside: "Tell you to get up, prepare some hot food, warm clothes and ginger soup, we will rest here for the night tonight." ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu walked inside.

The scale of the carriage and horse shop is not large, there are five or six horse-drawn carriages, and seven or eight donkey carts.

As soon as you enter the gate, there is a large compound with horse-drawn carriages parked in the courtyard, a horse shed on the left, a dormitory on the right, and a well in the middle.

There was a burst of chickens and dogs, and the big owner of the carriage and horses, that is, the leader of the Jinyi Guard stationed in Tongcheng County, didn't even wear shoes, and came out with a piece of clothing.

Some of the guys who lived in the carriage and horse shop, when they heard the movement outside, pushed open the windows and looked out, and some people whispered, "Big Boss, what's going on?" ”

"What do you ask, the master of Jinyiwei wants to use our car, which of you wants to go?" The big owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he looks like he is opening his mouth to reprimand, but he is actually finding a reason for the arrival of Wang Xu and the others.

As soon as they heard that it was Jinyiwei's people, the guys closed their doors and windows one after another, for fear that they would have nothing to do.

The middle-aged man swept his eyes left and right, ran two steps to Wang Xu's side, hugged his fists and said: "Tongcheng County Jinyi Guard, Xiaoqi Xia Zhilei, I have seen adults." ”

This Daning Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty in history, without those scenes of kneeling at every turn.

Wang Xu glanced at Xia Zhilei's bare feet, no matter if this person was really anxious and didn't even bother to put on shoes, or show him a look, this is a caring person.

"Prepare a few rooms for us, I have something to say to you." Stretching out his hand and not hitting a smiling person, Wang Xu will not pretend to be majestic in front of a small flag that has never been alive.

"My lord, please here..." Xia Zhilei lowered his head and led the way in front, and quickly brought Wang Xu and the others to the guest room.

Walked into the guest room and looked, the environment is pretty good, no worse than the upper rooms of those inns.

Nodding with satisfaction, Wang Xu sat down on the main seat in the living room, and the others stood on both sides beside him, and said: "This seat is Wang Xu, a thousand households who came to Fuzhou to take office, this time I came here to spend the night, and second, I have two things to tell you." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Xia Zhilei didn't ask a word, but lowered his head.

Wang Xu pondered for a while, pressed his waist card on the table, and said: "There is a Yangjia town thirty-five miles east of Tongcheng County, and this town is occupied by a group of spider spirits. Early tomorrow morning, you send someone to Yangjia Town to take a look, and if that group of spider spirits is still there, immediately go and inform the surrounding garrisons, and bring fire oil and crossbow arrows to destroy the demons. If not, move another group of people over there, and I'll just ask about the rest.

The second thing, I heard that there is a place called Shili Pavilion in your county, you send someone out to find out, is there a place called Wumenju outside Shili Pavilion. In addition, is there a place called Guobei County and Lanruo Temple near here? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, Shiliting is a small town, fifty miles northeast of this county. As for Guobei County, it is indeed near us, a hundred miles to the north, Lanruo Temple, this place I have heard people say, it seems that it is not very clean, what is going on, I don't know very well. Xia Zhilei replied softly, the traffic was inconvenient in ancient times, and it was difficult to move around at will like in modern times.

Many people who live in the countryside go to the county seat in their lives, and in the eyes of these people, this is the whole part of the world.

Xia Zhilei, as the person in charge of Jinyiwei in Tongcheng County, is also in charge of the carriage and horse shop, so he pays more attention to the surrounding movements and knows that there is a place called Lanruo Temple.

"So close!"

Wang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the city of Fuzhou where he was going to work was eighty miles west of this place.

Wouldn't it mean that Lanruo Temple and Guobei County are within his jurisdiction.

After a big circle, going around and around, it is still related to Lanruo Temple, which is really a coincidence.

But it's right to think about it, Cui Hongji's home is near here, and Yan Chixia is also living in seclusion on the mountain outside Shili Pavilion.

And the place of Shili Pavilion is not only Cui Hongji's home, but also the place where Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian are separated from each other in the ghost story of a Chinese woman, leaving the poem of the ten-mile Pinghu frosty sky and the green silk of the Chinese year.

In this way, after Yan Chixia moved away from the Wumenju outside the Shili Pavilion, she didn't go too far at all.

Otherwise, the name Shili Pavilion would not appear frequently, and in the second part of A Chinese Ghost Story, it will once again become the place where the plot takes place.
