Chapter 319: Disappearing Out of Thin Air
Ping'an Fort says it's a town, but it's so small that it's hard to find it on a map. There are no mountains or forests nearby, but it is a place near the water. There are all small rivers that cannot be named, and there are some depressions and blisters, scattered around Ping'an Fort.
This place has no history, and it is only more than 200 years old. It's called a "fort" because it used to be a place where soldiers were stationed and a sentinel point. It's just that it has long been abandoned, and now it's a place where people usually gather.
Just like the time in Heron Tree Town, it was not a person who invited Mr. Peng, but all the squires here to discuss, and found a gentleman who could see things. This incident has indeed become a disease in the hearts of everyone in Ping'an Fort, even if it was already dark when Mr. Peng and Huzi arrived, it still alarmed many people gathered in the Xiangxian Hall.
Mr. Peng had come alone before, and he knew them all, and when he saw someone coming in, he said hello: "Tian Baochang, I'm here again." ”
This Tian Baochang looks like a man in his forties, wearing a set of practice clothes and two short knives pinned to his waist, and he looks like he should be a practitioner. The body is also hard, and the pace doesn't look like it's foolish, and there should be some real kung fu in the hands. It's just that I'm a little haggard at this time, as if I haven't woken up.
Tian Baochang stepped forward and hugged his fist and said, "It's hard for Mr. Peng to run again, but I really can't help it." What is this little brother called? ”
He asked Huzi, who was standing next to Mr. Peng. Huzi also hugged his fists and replied: "My surname is Peng, Peng Hu, and I came with my father." ”
Mr. Peng explained: "It's not that I'm boasting, my son is also a Mr. Yin and Yang, and he has good skills. I didn't find anything wrong with me last time, and I left you with a curse, and it was mine that didn't. I took him with me this time, because I was inferior to him in some things, I couldn't see it, maybe he could find something. ”
"Mr. Peng!" Tian Baochang nodded at Huzi, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, I have also heard of Mr. Xiao Peng." You two gentlemen, please be seated, let's talk about it in detail. ”
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall of Xiangxian Hall, and Tian Baochang was sitting in the first place, which made Huzi feel a little surprised. The existence of the village sages is because the government decrees are not passed, some remote places do not have yamen, and there are few public officials, and the villagers recommend the village sages to facilitate governance. Therefore, the average village sage is either rich or respected in the local area.
This Tian Baochang wore a practice uniform, which was convenient for him to show his fists and feet, and he couldn't see how much extravagance he had. What's more, according to Huzi's observation, the ravines on the palms of this person are black, presumably because he has been doing farm work all year round, and he can't wash it when he deals with the land. So it shouldn't be rich.
The chief of the protector, that is, the head of the land security, is not appointed by the government, and is elected by the villagers to maintain local law and order, and the money is paid by the township hall. This Tian Baochang, to put it bluntly, is just a land guard, but he can sit in the chief of the incense hall, which shows that at least here, he is not a simple person, and he is very popular.
After serving tea to everyone in the house, Mr. Peng spoke: "I didn't understand what was written in the letter, so I didn't know what was going on. The last time I came, I made it clear that it was a person who stole the child, and it stands to reason that it should be reported to the government. But what happened when you identified a demon and a monster and brought me back? ”
"Mr. Peng, you are like this, it makes me blush." Tian Baochang sighed lightly and said, "If there is really a thief stealing the child, then I, as the security chief, should really be to blame." ”
"So you're saying mine isn't?" Mr. Peng was a little unhappy. For so many years in Changtu Mansion, it can't be said that every time you show people something, you can solve it, but you have never been blind, and Zhang Guan Li Dai is angry. When I came to Ping'an Fort again this time, I also had a little bit of the intention of watching a show for others, and I was holding back to slap each other's faces. It's not that I don't believe what Tian Baochang said, but I am confident in myself, and I can't be wrong.
Tian Baochang was also a little embarrassed, smirked twice, rubbed his hands, and did not respond. They decided to invite Mr. Peng, so they naturally knew Mr. Peng's name. said that he was wrong, and Mr. Peng's signboard was smashed once. Mr. Yin and Yang, like Lang Zhong who sees a doctor, can't be easily offended, and no one knows when he will get sick, nor when he will encounter any strange things. So he felt that Mr. Peng was wrong, and he didn't dare to say it on his face, for fear of saving Mr. Peng's face.
After a while, seeing that Tian Baochang didn't speak, an old man in silk clothes next to him spoke: "Mr. Peng, it's not that we can't trust you, but this...... It's just terrible. How sad is it to lose a child? Who doesn't love their children? More than 20 children were lost, and it didn't look like they had been taken captive. As you know, it is said that being an official is the master of the people, but no official has ever been the master of our people. We did report this matter to the government, and a bunch of people came to investigate, but in the end it was still over, we went to ask, and told us that we were still investigating, let us come back and wait for the news, we were anxious! I don't want to think about it, Mr. Peng, you have a lot of ability, I asked you to come and talk, whether it is a demon or a human trafficker, you can help us who have no way to ask for help. ”
Mr. Peng frowned and sighed: "Let's go!" Just take it as my eye-patrick eyes, Tian Baochang, you tell me about the matter carefully. ”
"Hey!" Tian Baochang nodded, "That's the case." After you left last time, I was ruthless, and I ordered the small land under my command to arrest this trafficker and send him to the government to be brought to justice. But we searched and searched, but we couldn't find a way. This place is not big, and there are so many people from other places, we are patrolling day and night, if there is really smuggling children, why should there be some traces, right? ”
Mr. Peng nodded and said, "It makes sense, if it really comes to the point of patrolling day and night and setting up people at various traffic intersections, it is indeed time to find some clues." After all, no matter how young a child is, he is still a living person, and he can't grow wings to fly. You go on to say. ”
Tian Baochang slapped the table, followed by beating his chest: "Oops! Isn't it bothering you that you didn't find any clues? In fact, let me make up my mind that I asked someone to write to you because of a particularly strange case of losing a child. ”
"Tell me about it." Mr. Peng answered again.
"Let me tell you," said an old man in plain dress sitting next to Huzi, "the one who was lost that time is my grandson." ”
Huzi turned his head and made a gesture of please: "Old man, please speak." ”
Before the old man could speak, he wiped his tears from his eyes: "Hey! It's all my second daughter-in-law! My second son is my old son, and he got married late, so by this time, I am this age. I feel most sorry for my little grandson. My youngest grandson is six years old and is very good-looking. ”
Huzi listened to it straightly, thinking to himself, who asked you this? He pointed his finger at the armrest of the chair and said, "Old man, get down to business." ”
"Oh, yes! Right! Let's get down to business. The old man also found that he was far away, and pulled back the words, "My second son went out separately and lived alone, and he has a house and land by himself. He went to work in the fields that day, leaving his daughter-in-law and my grandson at home. You also know that we are worried about the loss of our children here, and no one dares to let their children go out to play, so they are all at home. The most hateful of me, my second daughter-in-law, is not a person! She left my grandson alone at home in order to bring food to my son. ”
"So the child was lost?" Huzi didn't like this old man very much. People's daughter-in-law delivers food for her husband, a matter of course, and she is afraid of danger when she leaves the child at home, how can it be that this old man's mouth has become a "not human" thing?
"Yes! That's it, the child is gone. The old man wiped away another handful of tears, "Pity my well-behaved little grandson! ”
"Don't panic and cry!" Mr. Peng saw that the old man was about to start howling, so he hurriedly stopped, "This thing is not strange. There is no one at home, Xu is a child who is greedy for fun, and it is unknown that he went out and was kidnapped by gangsters. How can it be said that it is evil and chaotic? ”
"Old man Chu, don't cry." Tian Baochang first scolded the old man, and then turned to Mr. Peng and said, "His second daughter-in-law is a good person, he lost his child and went crazy, don't listen to his nonsense." That's the case, and now the people in the town are so panicked that no one dares to leave their children alone at home. His second daughter-in-law locked the child in her home before she went to deliver food to his second son. The window was bolted from the outside, and the door was locked from the outside, so that the door could be opened. What I'm afraid of is that the child is lost. ”
"Lock this kind of thing, prevent the gentleman and not the villain." Huzi suddenly interjected, "A lock can stop people who don't want to go in, and those who want to go in take a stone and chisel the lock, and they will also go in." ”
"That's where the weirdness is." Tian Baochang clapped his hands, "That's the case, this old man's second son's house, the door and window latches have not moved at all, and when his daughter-in-law comes home and opens the door, there is no trace of turning in the house, a big living person, disappearing out of thin air!" ”
Huzi was stunned for a moment, and made eye contact with Mr. Peng. Mr. Peng shook his head, indicating that he had not found this situation when he searched before.
Tian Baochang continued: "Mr. Peng, it's really not that we have any opinions about you. If I really don't believe you, I won't come back to you a second time. We've all heard about you, and you're a real person. But if it weren't for the evildoers, he wouldn't be able to drag a big living person away from the locked house. If it weren't for the demons and monsters, I don't think I could explain it. Now I don't ask you to get the child back, and it is a blessing to be able to lose the child again. Count me on you, two Mr. Peng! ”
Speaking of emotion, Tian Baochang left the chair, walked in front of Huzi and Mr. Peng, pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, and his knees touched the ground. Huzi hurriedly stretched out his hand and picked up Tian Baochang and said, "We must investigate this matter." We don't dare to guarantee any tickets, but we will do our best. ”
Tian Baochang's face was also in tears at this time, and he turned to Mr. Peng again: "Please...... Please! ”
Mr. Peng frowned and nodded slightly: "You...... Rest assured. ”
