Chapter XII

Zhao Adaa stood beside the cook, nodded and bent over, and happily agreed, Jin Wansheng poked him behind him, meaning to let him get out of here quickly, but Zhao Adagang finished agreeing, and saw two servants with waist knives hurrying from inside, and said to the cook; "Hey, fat man, the master asked you to go to the back hall immediately for questioning."

The fat cook was stunned for a moment, and then trotted to the back, and Jin Wansheng immediately took Zhao Ada's hand and said; "Big brother, let's go!"

Unexpectedly, before the two of them could turn around, the two officials with waist knives were already in front of them; "Wait, that's letting you go."

Jin Wansheng knew that something was wrong, and immediately opened his eyes and shouted loudly; "Why, we're here to sell fish, why don't you let us go after the sale?"

Zhao Adaa also shouted; "Don't you care about the food?"

The two officials immediately pulled out their waist knives and shouted; "If you can't do it again, you and the people should be killed."

Jin Wansheng and Zhao Ada, it was easy to brave the wind and waves, but they were still a little stunned when they arrived at the door of the yamen, although they were not used to the bullying posture of the two officials, but they still took a step back and asked forcibly; "Why don't you let us go?"

One of the officials sneered and said; "We are not roundworms in the old man's stomach, the fat cook will come back in a while, you go and ask him, won't it be clear!"

After hearing this, Jin Wansheng's heart immediately became vigilant, why did the new master keep us two fishermen, it was really strange. Zhao Ada, however, felt that maybe it was because the master liked to eat saury, and after he asked the cook, he asked us to send it tomorrow.

While the two were muttering, the fat cook ran out of breath, and immediately whispered a few words in the ear of a servant, and then brushed his sleeves away.

The two officials held waist knives in their hands and shouted at Jin Wansheng and Zhao Ada; "Let's go, follow us to the back hall, the master has something to ask you."

Jin Wansheng's anger suddenly burst out, and he immediately shouted loudly; "We violated the law of the king, what can we do if Lao Tzu doesn't go?"

The two officials immediately pulled out their waist knives, and in an instant, Bai Sensen's steel knife shining with cold light was on the necks of Jin Wansheng and Zhao Ada. The two of them immediately felt a chill on their necks, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, Jin Wansheng was originally a man who rolled out of the river, although he had a steel knife on his neck, how could he scare him, he stiffened his neck and scolded loudly; "Damn, come on, I'm not afraid of this."

The official immediately pressed the steel knife on his neck, and Zhao Ada, seeing the wind and rudder, hurriedly changed his face to a smile, and said to Jin Wansheng; "Brother Asheng, we didn't commit adultery, and we didn't commit any crimes, what are the precautions when we go to see the county magistrate, let's go, we'll see you."

The two men had steel knives around their necks and were escorted to the lobby by the officials.

It's strange, there is no official standing in the lobby, the empty public hall, only a huge plaque of "Mirror Hanging" is hung high on the wall by the south, under the plaque is a huge black lacquer public case, the public case is completely placed, the hall is shocking, the signing barrel, the four treasures of the study, the same lot.

Jin Wansheng and Zhao Ah Da were rough people, and when it came to the end, they were really not afraid, although they felt novel about everything in the court, they didn't care about it, but hugged a pair of shoulders and looked coldly at the two officials.

It's very quiet, it's surprisingly quiet, the county magistrate went there, and the officials didn't dare to speculate, because their new master was too powerful to know what they were thinking.

What is the county governor doing, he is busy, really, he is very busy, he is busy asking for instructions and reporting to his true god and master, this is the most important thing.

Linyuan County Zai Sima Shouqian is a filial piety and incorruptible background, others look at his name and think that he is a royal relative, or and the royal family has a constant relationship, in fact, it is not, his surname is Huang, the family has a wide range of land, he began to vassal the fairy road since he was young, in a time with the immortal friends to cultivate the immortal preaching, suddenly declared that his ancestor was originally surnamed Sima, and later because of the war to avoid the Qin Dynasty moved south, only to change the surname Huang, today he has to understand the immortal road, so, must change his name back, so, he gave himself a new name, It's called Sima Shouqian.

This Sima Shouqian, because the family has a wide range of land, plus he is good at drilling, a few years of kung fu, he has a good reputation of filial piety, it is said that when his mother died, he lived next to his mother's grave, until the expiration of three years, he returned to live in Zhuangzi, so, Sima Shouqian's reputation spread far and wide, because he had a great friendship with the local county order, and the county guard is also often paid to sing and exchange, after the two of them Baoju, first to Kyoto with filial piety as an idle job, and later some people said that he had a strange ability, can invite the barefoot immortal to judge the case in the next term, so he was hired by General Sima to participate in the military, and after a few years, he finally mixed into the position of the county magistrate and became the parent official of Linyuan County.

After the arrival of Sima County, he was initially diligent, two years later, he claimed that the immortal fate had arrived, so he paid attention to the things of heaven, and was determined to ascend to the Tao, such as the immortal class, three months ago, he was burning incense in the back hall to worship the Taishang Laojun, but the enshrined Laojun statue suddenly spoke; "I only know how to burn incense and worship, but I don't know that the true God has arrived, so I don't hurry up and open the door, burn incense and kneel down to greet him."

Sima Xianzai, hearing Lao Jun speak, was overjoyed, he immediately bowed his head and bowed, proclaiming; "The disciple obeys the teacher's orders."

Then, hurriedly came to the front hall, ordered the whole class of officials and a group of public officials, one by one to burn incense, lined up in two columns and walked out of the gate, to the outside of the gate, he first looked around, looked for a long time, only to see a Taoist wearing a crown, wearing a cyan robe, the face was blue, the mouth was wide and the nose was collapsed, the upper body was flat, the lower legs were short and thick, the feet were on straw shoes, and the Taoist priest with the dust in his hand sat on the stone lion outside the gate, and there were words in his mouth; "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Amitayus Buddha, this hall is full of turbidity, how can my old man withstand it."

Seeing this, Sima Shouqian still had the slightest suspicion, he immediately bent his knees, knelt down in front of the Taoist priest, kowtowed three times, and then spoke; "The disciple Sima Shouqian, is ordered by the master to welcome the true god."

After Sima Shouqian finished speaking, he didn't dare to look up, and after a long time there was no movement, he quietly raised his head and looked at the stone lion, but saw that the Taoist priest was still sitting on the stone lion, and had no choice but to say again; "I hope the true god will move above the lobby."

The Taoist priest sitting on the stone lion did not speak, Sima Shouqian saw this, and immediately kowtowed three times, and the officials behind him and all kinds of public servants followed the kowtow, at this time, I saw the stone lion sitting down by the Taoist priest, suddenly moved his steps, supported the Taoist priest, and walked steadily to the top of the hall, everyone was dumbfounded, and there was no sound in surprise.

The stone lion carried the Taoist priest to the lobby, and the Taoist priest floated down from the stone lion, waved at the stone lion, and said softly; "Go, get back to where you are, and don't move without my send."

The stone lion turned around, walked back along the original road, and Sima Shouqian led everyone to stand up, bowed his waist to the Taoist priest with his hands folded, and bowed; "What the true God has to say, let it be revealed."

The Taoist priest waved down the Buddha dust, and said angrily; "Let everyone disperse, you and I will talk in the back hall."

Since then, there is one more master in the lobby of Linyuan County, Sima Shouqian treats him with a teacher's courtesy, and the people in the government are disrespectful and disrespectful, talking to him, never spoke, first to the ground, honoring the true God, before he can speak, three days later, the true God ordered Sima Shouqian to prepare a secret room for himself, and ordered him to open a small corner door in the backyard alone, the small corner door is locked all day long, and the key is only the true God. However, to Sima Shouqian's feelings, the true god did not like to trouble people, and he was rarely seen in the palace, and since the secret room was built, he ordered all people not to approach this secret room, especially women, and not to set foot in the courtyard where he lived.

There is an extra master in the county government out of thin air, his whereabouts are secret, but the county magistrate is like a god, that is, the second day that the other master appeared in the county government, the Ji woman met a divine Taoist priest at the door of the house, Jin Wansheng was bewitched by the Taoist priest, and the second entered the peach blossom source unsuccessfully, returned to the river to meet Zhao Ada, and came to the county government to sell saury, just alarmed is also just back, and is still in the secret room to recuperate the breath of the other master.

It turned out that this morning, the very tired Master Bei, quietly sneaked back to the county governor's office, he just lay on the ground according to the old rules, his body trembled, he screamed strangely, turned over and sat up, fiddled with his short and thick fingers, suddenly happy in his heart, opened his mouth and said; "Okay, you're a late student, you want to throw yourself into the net, I'm worried about how to find you, now it's okay, it's the so-called endless road, grandma I have hope again."

After the master didn't calculate, he immediately stood up, picked up a bundle of herbs hanging by the door, dusted around his body for a long time, and went to the yard to bring a basin of water, carefully scrubbed his body, just this kung fu, the door sounded tu, tu, tu, tu, a slight three door sounds, this is the true god master specially to Sima Shouqian to stipulate the knock code, he told Sima Shouqian that in the time they did not fulfill the agreement, if there is an urgent matter to find him, he will only come to open the door when he hears three consecutive slight knocks.

Don't be a master, after hearing the knock on the door, he knew that it was Sima Shouqian coming, so he stood in the courtyard and asked softly; "What's the matter with you?"

Outside the door was Sima Shouqian, and when he heard him asked him what was going on, he immediately replied respectfully; "Enlighten the true god, there are two fish people in the county government, and they sent thirty catties of live saury, I think the true god likes to eat saury, so I brought the five largest, dare to ask the true god, is it ordered to be done in the cupboard, or put it here."
