241 The hunchbacked old man
On the emperor's southern tour, Bai Qieming wanted to accompany him, but he did not get the emperor's approval.
The once glorious East Factory did not expect to fall into such a situation!
Now in the eyes of the emperor, it is not even as good as an ornament!
Bai Qieming is really annoyed!
Thinking about himself in Dongchang, he has been in office for so long, except for the day of the dragon's roar, the emperor summoned him once, and the emperor never thought of him at other times, and Bai Qieming was even more aggrieved.
Seeing that the other people in Dongchang are used to the treatment of the emperor, they don't have any enterprising heart, they get by every day, eat and wait for death.
Bai Qieming was in a hurry.
He was in the Tianzi room of the East Factory, walking around.
Over there at the head of the third gear, not to mention the news of the dragon girl, there is not even news from the head of the third gear.
He also wondered if the head of the third gear was quietly killed.
If Bai Qieming doesn't ask about affairs now, and waits for death like everyone else, it is actually a good choice.
But Bai Qieming was really unwilling.
Back then, he was ruthless to himself, and chopped off the roots of his children and grandchildren, is it just to eat and wait for death!
Bai Qieming decided to take a gamble!
He was going to go to Pengzhou Mansion in person to see what was going on.
The emperor didn't take Dongchang seriously, which was equivalent to giving Bai Qieming a convenience.
Because the emperor doesn't care about Dongchang and doesn't look for him, he is just a dispensable person in front of the emperor.
So he took leave on the grounds of going home to move the grave, and when the document arrived in front of the emperor, the emperor didn't read it carefully, and with a stroke of the pen, he approved it.
So Bai Qieming quietly left the capital with two cronies from Dongchang who had recently been cultivated.
If you want to clean up the dragon girl, you can't do it without a helper.
Along the way, he contacted the retirees of the former Dongchang and bought some Jianghu people with a lot of money.
……
Bai Qieming's political consciousness is too low.
After he left Beijing, he didn't even pretend to go back to his hometown, but went straight to Pengzhou Mansion.
Such a route was soon reported by Lu Bing and Huang Jin, respectively.
Lu Bing has just become the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he doesn't want to kill Bai Cheming in the excitement.
So he pretended not to know about it.
He wanted to see what kind of moth Bai Qieming was playing.
Huang Jin looked down on Bai Qieming very much, especially Bai Qieming this time, and made a big mistake again.
said that he went back to his hometown to move the grave, but he didn't go back, which is a crime of deception.
"This kid is so bold, Lu Bing at this time, if he falls into the well, he will smash it!"
Huang Jin didn't know the true purpose of Bai Qieming's trip.
So he decided, wait to see Lu Bing, how to clean up Bai Qieming, he is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
If he knew that Bai Qieming was looking for the Dragon Girl, he would have gone back now and got rid of Bai Qieming.
Bai Qieming committed the crime of bullying the king, get rid of him, Huang Jin is too sure!
……
The third gear head is in Pengzhou Mansion, limping around.
Relying on the help of the dragon hunt, he finally locked his goal in three places.
One is the cross street, and the other is the residential area where Duan Chu's house is located.
There is also a mountaintop lake in Maling Mountain.
The third stall rented a donkey and went to the mountaintop lake first.
Nothing was found.
The last feeling of the third gear head is that maybe it was because there was once a snake with a crown here, so the dragon hunt will point here.
So he set his sights on Pengzhou Mansion again.
……
Since Zhu Zimo said that Zhao Ruyi was a painted skin, he waited for Duan Chu and Zhao Ruyi to fall out.
As a result, Duan Chu didn't talk to her about it for a long time.
"This stupid melon, I was fascinated by that, such a big suspicion, I didn't even verify it!"
Zhu Zimo was anxious, but he couldn't say it.
Because she knew Duan Chu's temper.
He is not in a hurry, and it is useless for you to urge, not to mention that if he urges, then his intentions will be too obvious.
Summer was coming, and Zhu Zimo began to use the ghost energy of the cooking to constantly create cold ice.
With these cold ices, she doesn't have to worry about how hot it is this summer.
And Duan Chu saw that there was so much ice at home, so he actually used an ox cart to pull a lot of it and give it to Zhao Ruyi.
For this reason, Zhao Ruyi also dug a cellar in the small courtyard to store cold ice, and waited for the hot weather to take it out and enjoy the coolness.
Duan Chu didn't hide the matter of sending Zhao Ruyi to cold ice.
In his opinion, a sister is a sister, and he should not interfere in his marriage.
After sending the cold night, Duan Chu also sent an invitation to Zhu Zimo: "Sister, Sister Ruyi tonight, please invite me to eat in Tianxianglou, you can come together." ”
Zhu Zimo didn't want to go over, seeing the two of them eyebrows, plus thinking of the cold ice she had created, it turned out to be a cheap rival in love, so she couldn't get angry and refused on the spot.
But after waiting for the evening, Duan Chu went to the appointment to have a drink, and Zhu Zimo was alone at home, in a low mood, and couldn't play with the blind cat.
Thinking about Duan Chu and Zhao Ruyi, in the box of Tianxianglou, they sandwiched vegetables with each other, and even wrapped their arms around their arms and drank a glass of wine, she was very annoyed.
Actually, she thought too much.
Zhao Erniang, the person who was in the way, was actually in the box.
Therefore, Duan Chu and Zhao Ruyi did not pick up vegetables with each other, let alone drink any wine.
Since he couldn't sit down at home, Zhu Zimo decided to go out for a walk.
Leaving the blind cat to look after the house, she changed into a compact suit and quietly came to the cross street.
She decided to go to the tea shop to see if she could find evidence that Zhao Ruyi was a demon.
As long as it can be proved that Zhao Ruyi is a demon, even if it is a suspected demon, without her breaking up, Duan Chu and Zhao Ruyi will also part ways.
After all, Duan Chu's parents seriously explained Duan Chu before his death, and they couldn't have anything to do with a non-human woman.
……
Looking at the black lights in the tea shop, Zhu Zimo knew that there was no one inside.
So she opened the window and crept in.
In Zhao Ruyi's room, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, there was nothing to gain.
Finally, under Zhao Ruyi's bed, Zhu Zimo saw the streamer that Zhao Ruyi had used to wrap around his forehead.
A large mass was entwined, and there were more than a dozen of them.
"This, it seems that the streamer is only used once, no wonder I sold the wine bag at a low price before, it turned out to be to buy the streamer!"
Zhu Zimo turned out those streamers, pulled out three, and quietly carried them on his body.
Before leaving, she restored everything to its original state and left the tea shop.
……
However, it is said that the third gear head rode a donkey, and after leaving the mountaintop lake of Maling Mountain, an old turtle that was bigger than a millstone appeared in the mountaintop lake.
In the mouth of the old turtle, there was also a bone that was four or five feet long.
It was part of the backbone of the giant snake that had its head cut off by the golden gilt.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, the old turtle shook off the lake and turned into a hunchbacked old man.
The spine of the giant snake in his hand also turned into a dragon's head crutch.
……
On the long road from Maling Mountain to Kunlun, there was a hunchbacked old man who staggered.
The clothes on the old man's hunchback have been worn by the wind and frost, revealing the hunchback inside.
The moonlight shone on the hunchback.
The hunchback skin is withered and cracked, no matter how it feels, it looks like a tortoiseshell with vertical and horizontal lines.
The old man walked very slowly, and after a day and a night, he had just walked to Pengzhou Mansion.
Outside the city wall of Pengzhou Mansion, he felt a little tired, so he used crutches to pestle the ground and rested temporarily.
"Huoyangzi, your apprentice Jin Liuzi, kills indiscriminately for no reason, he is really ignorant, the old man is looking for him to settle accounts, that is, to bully the young with the old, and to suppress the small with the big, so the old man is not looking for him, just looking for you!"
"Huoyangzi, old man, see how you return it, the life of the Snake Immortal Daoist of Maling Mountain is coming!"
After the old man muttered to himself, he picked up his thick wooden cane and continued on his way while it was night.
The tall and wide city walls of Pengzhou Mansion are like a virtual reality for the elderly.
He tapped the wall with his cane, and then went straight through it.
None of the soldiers defending the city found any trace of him.
The old man went into the city and walked up the cross street.
When the cattle inspectors patrolling the streets saw him, they couldn't bear to interrogate him.
This kind of trembling old man, who may run out of oil at any time, and fall to the ground and whimper, in the eyes of the cattle inspector, give him a sharp knife, and he will not have the strength to kill.
The kind-hearted cow inspected and gave the hunchbacked old man a pot of water.
The old man took the kettle and didn't even look at the cow inspection, let alone say thank you.
But the cattle patrol didn't care.
"Poor old man, he must be old and confused! When Lao Tzu reaches this age, he will definitely not linger, he will definitely dig a pit and bury himself! ”
The cattle inspector also said to the two pro-soldiers.
