Chapter 61: A Helping Hand
Liu Changqing drank bitterly while holding the wine jug, and asked Zhou Countyling, who did not dare to hide Liu Changqing's question.
"Lord Liu, you don't know, in the past half a month, there have been children lost in this county, as of yesterday there have been forty-eight children missing, in order to prevent another gangsters from abducting children, so the lower officials released the list, on the one hand, ordered the government to arrest the suspect as soon as possible, and on the other hand, let the people in the city take precautions to avoid further incidents."
Liu Changqing nodded slightly when he heard this, but the master was a little talkative, and asked Liu Changqing why he came this time.
Liu Changqing thought about it for a while, and it was not easy to reply with private matters, so he only said that recently the saint heard that someone in Shu was privately producing well salt, and specially ordered him to come to investigate the matter, Zhou County Ling and Master nodded slightly after listening to Liu Changqing's reply, and Yuan Xiaotian looked at Liu Changqing and couldn't help but quietly give him a thumbs up.
After Liu Changqing and Yuan Xiaotian had eaten and drunk enough, Liu Changqing ordered the county order to bring the portrait of the murderer, one of them had a blue face and fangs, and he couldn't confirm his identity at all, and he found someone who knew the way and only said that this demon was Gu Won Bird, and the other was the face of a clear person, Liu Changqing looked at this person and felt a little kind, and Yuan Xiaotian saw at a glance that this was not Senior Brother Daolian.
Yuan Xiaotian saw the image, so he took Liu Changqing to the side of the courtyard, and told Liu Changqing his thoughts, at first Liu Changqing also felt that this matter was a little unbelievable, but then he thought that since he could follow Li Fuguo to do things, it would not be surprising if he really did such a heinous thing.
Zhou Xianling and Master saw Liu Changqing and Yuan Xiaotian talking quietly in the courtyard, and at the same time showed a solemn expression on their faces, as if they knew something inside, but because their status was not high, it was not good to ask Liu Changqing directly, and when the two of them entered the lobby again, Liu Changqing only said that he and the little brother beside him were a little tired, and asked Zhou Xianling to take the two of them to rest.
It is said that Mr. Zong Yuan opened the altar with all his disciples half a month ago to preach the Tao Te Ching, and when he said, "All things do not give up, they are born without being, they are not ashamed, and they are not successful." If the husband does not live, he will not go. At that time, I felt a throbbing in my heart, so I stretched out my right hand and pinched my fingers, knowing that Lian was making trouble in the southwest direction, thinking that the reason why this company was so ambitious as today was that he had to bear more or less unshirkable responsibility, so Mr. Zongyuan slowly walked down the pulpit, and after explaining some matters in the door of his disciple Shao Jigang, he rushed to the direction of Xishu.
Daolian made a big fuss in Tiantai Mountain, and then walked away, which not only slapped the face of the empty child, but also seriously affected the reputation of the Baiyun Temple, the chief disciple Guihai was sick in bed, and the empty son was also old and weak, and the disciples in the door saw that the momentum of the Baiyun Temple was not as good as before, so they went down the mountain one after another, thinking of finding another way out, and when the case of a child was lost in Nanxi County, the county order Zhou Shiwen asked the master to personally ask the empty son of Tiantai Mountain to go out of the mountain to help, The empty son explained to the master the situation of the withering of talents in the door now, but the master still hopes that the empty son can help the people of Nanxi County, even if it is a few useless offspring, go to Nanxi County to go for a while, at least it can stabilize the local people's hearts, and the empty son had to mention Yuan Xiaotian's name in desperation, saying that this son is the rising star of Tiantai Mountain, and he will come to Nanxi County in the near future. The master doesn't know whether the empty man is really worrying about the county order, or he is prevaricating with lies, but the empty man has already said this part, and the master has no reason to persuade him.
Liu Changqing and Yuan Xiaotian lived in the county government for a day, and the next day they were ready to say goodbye to the county order, when the two of them were about to step out of the gate of the county government, the master overheard Liu Changqing call Yuan Xiaotian's name, and immediately ran to Liu Changqing and Yuan Xiaotian, and stopped the two of them.
"Dare to ask, this is Yuan Xiaotian and Yuan Daochang?"
The master looked up at Yuan Xiaotian, showing a happy smile on his face, while Yuan Xiaotian and Liu Changqing looked at the interested master, but they were confused.
"Here's the thing, a few days ago, the little one went to Tiantai Mountain to find Yuan Jun Zhenren to go down the mountain to subdue the demon, I don't want the current Tiantai Mountain to be much worse than before, and Yuan Jun Zhenren also declined on the grounds of physical discomfort."
The master swallowed his saliva when he said this.
"So what does that have to do with me?"
Yuan Xiaotian looked at the master's somewhat obscene appearance, and said with a hint of displeasure. The master also accompanied a smile when he heard this.
"Although Yuan Jun Zhenren and his disciples did not come to Nanxi County to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but Yuan Jun Zhenren recommended Yuan Daochang to the small one, and he only said that if the little one mentions his name, you will promise to help the people of Nanxi County to solve this urgent need."
Yuan Xiaotian was furious when he heard this, thinking that Liu Changqing was the troublesome ghost introduced by the empty son at the beginning, and now the bad things in Nanxi County are pushed on him again, of course Yuan Xiaotian will not suffer this dumb loss again, just when Yuan Xiaotian wanted to refuse the master's request, Liu Changqing patted Yuan Xiaotian on the back, and then said to the master.
"Okay, this official agreed to your request on behalf of Daoist Yuan."
The master was overjoyed when he heard this, and the county magistrate standing in the lobby also secretly clapped his hands and applauded, but Yuan Xiaotian was the only one who put on a bitter gourd face and looked at Liu Changqing very angrily.
Liu Changqing whispered to Yuan Xiaotian while patting him on the shoulder.
"Now that we've caught up with this troubled water, it must be difficult to get out of here, don't you want to figure out why your Daolian Senior Brother is arresting these children?"
The reason why Liu Changqing has the intention of staying, is because he is also an official of the imperial court after all, the so-called food of the king, the worry of the king, since he encountered this strange case here, there is no reason to turn a blind eye, Yuan Xiaotian listened to Liu Changqing's words and calmed down a little, but he still didn't want to be manipulated and controlled by the empty man everywhere.
Later, Liu Changqing and Yuan Xiaotian returned to the county hall, preparing to stay in Nanxi County for a few more days, and at the same time to assist the Nanxi County Order in investigating the disappearance of children.
After more than ten days of continuous travel, Mr. Zong Yuan finally arrived at Nanxi County smoothly, and at this time every household in the city was closed, and there was not a pedestrian on the road, Mr. Zong Yuan raised his right hand and calculated it, and found that there would be a big event in the southeast direction tonight.
When night fell, Liu Changqing and Yuan Xiaotian chatted in the east chamber of the county office, and the county commander Zhou Shiwen taught his five-year-old son Zhou Xiaowen to write a hundred family names in the back hall.
"Brother Rat, are you sick in the brain, how did you get into the county office, isn't this self-defeating?"
