She was worried when three beggars crept to the east of the town.

"You're a dude?"

The leader was old, probably in his sixties, with a gray and black face. He was wearing tattered clothes, the shoes on his feet were showing his big toes, but his expression was unusually spirited, a pair of eagle eyes shimmered, and he bowed carefully: "What does Childe command, although I say, my name is Eagle, and I am the elder of this area." ”

Elder, the level is not low.

Hua Lan hurriedly returned the salute, the difficult thing at the moment was the residence, but she saw the tattered clothes on the three beggars, and wanted to ask them to find a place to live, I am afraid that it would be a little difficult.

She was hesitating, but the spring silkworm came over and said, "Old uncle, can you find a place to live, or?" ”

The spring silkworm remembered Qiupu Town, the queen mother had silver, and the guest house was not as good as the residential courtyard, and her family could toss as much as she wanted. She stole a glance at her master.

Hua Lan didn't have any opinions, and took the opportunity to ask the eagle: "The house in the town is okay." ”

"There are so many big things happening in the town right now, I'm afraid it's a lot of shock. With such an identity as Childe, who can be willing to take it in. However, we do have a big mansion under our name, which is dilapidated and dilapidated, and it is still feasible for the son to stay overnight. ”

The eagle said this, and pointed to the east of the town.

The three of them followed the eagle to a desolate mansion at the east end of the town.

"This, this, this, can this live?"

The inside of the house is very large, because it has not been inhabited for a long time, and there is dust everywhere. Although the gate is made of solid wood, it cannot withstand the erosion of the wind and rain of the years, and a few door panels have been loosened, and the gentle wind blows, swaying and squeaking and moaning corruption.

The walls and roofs of the courtyard are overgrown with wild grass, and the autumn wind will fade these wild grasses into vitality, and the evening sun will reflect the wild grass in a bleak cold color, making the whole house even more lonely and cold.

The eagle squeaked open the gate and walked in carefully, "We haven't been to this place for more than half a year, and the town is not peaceful. Those who can go are gone, the original owner of this house is surnamed Du, and the owner moved away more than ten years ago. I heard that the young master of his family was a big official. His family had hundreds of acres of land here, which he was reluctant to sell, so he rented them to tenants. It's not that there is a sudden plague in the town, and the tenants are gone, and the house is empty. ”

Master Du was kind and gave us this house. But the Taoist priests in the town are too powerful, and it is better for us to have more things than to have less, and as a result, the house has become like this. “

The eagle's words are clear, if it weren't for your playboy, we wouldn't even set foot on the land of Xiantao Town, anyway, the house that came for nothing was sold and no one bought it, so it would be wasted.

"Hmm."

Hua Lan nodded and walked into the house with the eagle.

The house is a three-entry mansion, and although it is desolate and dusty, the house is quite sturdy.

The eagle took two capable young men and divided the main house by two. The spring silkworm is more sharp, and wipe and wash, not a lot of effort, the three windows of the main room are bright and clean.

After cleaning up the house, Hua Lan didn't go to the backyard, but the spring silkworm came back in a circle and asked the eagle: "Elder, such a good yard is so deserted?" ”

Although the house is abandoned, there are many utensils in the kitchen. The shops in the town were closed, and the beggars had a way to get food, and it didn't take much effort to add a big pot of tea and a few white-flour steamed buns to the table.

"The Taoist priests in the town are rampant, and they are not allowed to bring bloody meat, so the son will eat some first, and wait until he gets out of Xiantao Town, and everything will be fine.

The eagle poured a large bowl of tea for Hua Lan, "These teas are all left by the previous housekeeper. We hid in the cellar, all of them are good things, young boy try them. ”

The cellar was damp, and the tea brewed was moldy and rotten, Hua Lan reluctantly took a sip, put it down and asked: "There is something strange in the town, depending on your judgment, it must be these Taoist priests who are secretly making trouble, but what are these all for?" ”

The eagle laughed, "The young man is really smart. ”

He stroked his white goatee and sighed: "I also repay the helper for this matter." The gang leader later checked, and the town was not a plague at all, it was all Taoist priests from Sanqingguan who were making trouble. ”

Sure enough, something was wrong.

Hua Lan hurriedly asked, "Why do these Taoist priests do this, and what will be the purpose of doing this?" ”

"There are so many benefits. First of all, the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks in the town, they made a lot of money. There was a plague in the town, and the rich families didn't even want their houses, and the fields were naturally sold, and no amount of money could buy lives, which made these Taoist priests secretly buy it for a small amount of money. And they said they had, and there was more. ”

"What's more powerful, I heard Liu Xiucai say that they killed a lot of people, as many as three or five hundred."

Chun Silkworm listened to it and was angry, "What do these Taoist priests want to do?" ”

"We beggars can't control these things."

The eagle waved his hand: "However, I have carefully checked that these Taoist priests are cheating." On the surface, these townspeople were caught and buried alive in the pond, but behind the scenes, it was different. In the backyard of Sanqingguan, there is a particularly large cellar, and these people are secretly locked in the cellar. It's hard to say exactly what you're going to do. ”

"Are you saying that none of these people have sunk or been buried alive?"

The spring silkworm stared at her eyes in shock, and asked in amazement, "What are these Taoist priests going to do?" Are they really all locked up? ”

"The town said that the old Taoist priest of Sanqingguan is cultivating in retreat, and it is unknown whether it will be the lives of these people."

The eagle shook his head and sighed: "These Taoist priests are too rampant, and the magistrate of Wan'an County has given them great power. They have the final say in the affairs of the town, and they don't know what means they used, except for the old men who sold the fields and took the old and young to leave, the town is like pressing the eyeballs, who is out, who is coming. They see it clearly. There was a voice of resistance in the town, and their people arrived, and when they were caught, they sank into the pond.

The sinking pond is fake, this side sinks into the water, and the other side is fished up and tied up and escorted back to Sanqingguan. Buried alive is also a show, find a few honest people in the town, watch the scene, as soon as the soil is buried, these people are brought back to the town. They then dug people out of the soil and locked them in the cellar in the backyard of Sanqingguan. ”

"Except for the backyard of Sanqingguan, the entire hall is surrounded by wind and rain, and the Taoist priests don't know what they are doing except for taking away one or two townspeople every once in a while, and the people of the beggar gang can't get in."

The people of the beggar gang in the mouth of the eagle are, of course, masters of some martial arts.

The whole thing is mysterious and weird, and Hua Lan has no clue. At this moment, Hua San was taken to the house with a carriage.

Hua San hurried to the gate of Wan'an County, Liu Qingmeng's family thanked him, and then hurried into the county seat to join his relatives.

Xiantao Town is full of dangers, Hua San didn't dare to delay time, there were snacks sold at the city gate, he bought some loaded into the car, and hurried back.

When he arrived in the town, it was about to get dark, and two beggars happened to greet him, and knowing that it was someone from Huafu, they hurriedly welcomed him into the famine.

There are a lot of snacks bought by Huasan, and when night falls, the eagle asks someone to light a lantern and pick it up in the yard, and everyone sits together for dinner.

As soon as he was halfway through eating, he heard the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps outside and came to the door of the deserted house.

There was a sonorous voice of armor announcing: "It's this house, general, I heard that it's from Prince Xiao's mansion." ”

"General?"

Hua Lan put down her chopsticks and secretly glanced at Jinse.

Jin Se smiled softly, stood up and walked out of the gate of the mansion.

In front of the gate of the courtyard stood a team of light horsemen, about 300 people, led by a handsome young general, with a pair of golden armor on his body, shining dazzling in the gray twilight.

Jin Se handed over the waist card of Prince Xiao's Mansion, turned over and dismounted, took the waist card in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then looked at the desolate mansion door, a little uneasy: "Is it His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiao's Mansion?" ”

It seems that the prince of Dorjee is going to be on fire.

Jin Se smiled slightly and nodded slyly.
