Chapter 970: It's Night
Three guests died, and the people from the Linjiang City government still did not show up, but continued to send the dozen or so officials to guard the dock where the Juque docked, preventing them from entering and leaving the suspects and human certificates.
The bright moonlight on the surface of the river was obscured by dark clouds, and the whole river was plunged into darkness, and the official who guarded the suspect and the witness sat on the stone pier by the dock and yawned, without even turning his head, and the faint sound of a few hidden conversations was inaudible and swept into the wind.
"How many more days?"
"If you keep it for two more days, you can take it!"
"Well, that's what I thought, too."
……
Two figures snuck out of the cabin, took off and landed on several large and small boats docked at the dock, and finally landed firmly on another pier not far away. At this moment, the moon also jumped out of the dark clouds again.
The moonlight fell on the river, cold as silver, and also illuminated the two people on the dock.
The ordinary-looking "fishergirl" touched her chin, smiled at the "old man" with a hat on the side, and shouted: "Grandpa......"
"Don't call me grandpa......" Pei Zongzhi frowned and corrected.
"That's called Childe," Wei Yaoqing grabbed his arm and looked at him with silky eyes, his ordinary appearance was a little more charming because of this look, "I am the god of the river, I don't know if Childe is willing to obey me?" ”
"I want to think about ......"
When a handyman carrying supplies passed by, he happened to see this scene, and after being stunned for a moment, he blurted out: "It's really the wind of the world, ...... sun" When he came back to his senses, he only saw that only the fallen leaves swept by the night wind on the path from the dock to the city, and the path was already empty.
Linjiang City is not big, roughly estimated to be only one-tenth of Chang'an City, although small, but because of the existence of Linjiang River, relying on water draft, the whole Linjiang City is also rich. On both sides of the street path, almost every household is a two-story or three-storey building, the eaves are upturned, and a red lantern is hung at each eaves corner.
"It's kind of weird!" Wei Yaoqing said as she walked, "Today is not a holiday!" With lanterns hung in such a uniform manner, I have walked through so many places, and the whole city is like this, and I have never seen it before. You may not feel weird when you see it in the daytime, but on this big night, the eyes are full of red lanterns, and it is too festive. ”
"I haven't seen anyone worship the river god either," Pei Zongzhi said, "Looking at it, the most normal thing in this place is the boat." ”
"There's some truth to that." Wei Yaoqing said.
Curfews are imposed in many places, such as Chang'an City, where night markets are bustling, and curfews are occasionally imposed, but Linjiang City does not seem to have them, and passers-by can be seen scattered everywhere on the road.
"Where is the most crowded place at night?" Wei Yaoqing replied to herself, "Qinglou, inn, tavern." ”
After a pause, she sighed again, "I miss Mr. Storyteller." Although the mouths of these storytellers may not be true, they have the most sources, and they will distinguish the truth and falsehood of them.
The Qinglou and the inn were down, and the two went to the tavern, but unfortunately there was no one in the tavern, only a few drunken drunkards dozing off on the bed.
After shaking out of the tavern, the two walked into the dark alley on the side, and after standing in the dark alley and looking at each other for a while, Wei Yaoqing proposed: "The county chronicle is in the yamen, otherwise, let's borrow the county chronicle and take a look!" ”
……
At that time, it was the most difficult time of the day, and there was a sound of rushing ropes in the courtyard next to the yamen of Linjiang City.
"How did you lead the way? said that he would come to the yamen, but he came here...... I don't know which guy is at home? The girl's complaining voice sounded, and her tone was quite dissatisfied, "The yamen is next door!" ”
"Dazzled." Three words popped out of Pei Zongzhi's mouth, and in the dark night, he accurately picked up the brocade box on the table as if it were nothing, opened it, and took out the seal inside.
"Well done!" Wei Yaoqing watched his movements from the side and said, "Look at whose house, you can buy it next door to the yamen, it must be either rich or expensive, hey, there is a corner missing......" As if she had found something, she looked down at the long table for a moment, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "This house has bad feng shui!" ”
"Probably because there are too many red lanterns, I was also dazzled, so I only glanced at it in a hurry, and I didn't notice that this house was missing a corner because of the stone lion in the yamen." Wei Yaoqing said.
Normal houses are square, this is next to the yamen, there is nothing to do, but the stone seat of the two stone lions at the yamen is too big, so big that it extends to the next door, so the next door folds this corner inward to avoid this stone lion.
"This feng shui problem is already very serious, and what is even more serious is the decoration of this house, do you remember the front and back of this house?" They came in over the walls, and the doors and windows were just a quick glance. After coming in, there was not even a lock in this house, and the lock-picking skills she learned from Song Er were useless.
"The houses on this street are all sitting in the north and facing south, but this one is the front and back of the house, not only that, you see the decoration of the doors and windows, the decoration of the tables and chairs, and even the calligraphy and painting are opposite to others."
Pei Zongzhi silently spit out two words: "Yin House." ”
Contrary to the yang house, it is naturally the so-called yin house. This house is the opposite of a normal house everywhere, and it can definitely be called a yin house.
"I see, either this owner is particularly different or has been calculated, and I don't know who is so unlucky." Wei Yaoqing sighed.
"The Great Seal of the Linjiang City County Order." Pei Zongzhi put the seal back in the brocade box and said, "The owner here should be the county magistrate who hasn't shown up yet." ”
"The county magistrate is really different from ordinary people, others live in the yang house, and he lives in the yin house." Wei Yaoqing casually picked up a book, and the book on the table flipped it up, and as soon as she took it, she felt that her hand was sinking, this book was very thick, much thicker than ordinary books. She looked down: "General Outline of the Thirteen Disciplines of Yin and Yang".
"Could it be that this is also a fellow practitioner?" Wei Yaoqing was stunned for a moment, and flipped it open, "People in the same way should know more about feng shui, it seems that they like to be different......"
The words stopped at this point, Pei Zongzhi saw that she didn't speak, so he walked over to look at the "General Outline of the Thirteen Disciplines of Yin and Yang", only to take a look, and then stopped talking.
The sentence on the first page of "The General Outline of the Thirteen Branches of Yin and Yang" was drawn with cinnabar with a big cross, and the pen was heavy.
