Chapter 38 Straw Bales
At that moment, the three of them got into the carriage together, the carriage space was not small, and the three of them were not crowded when they sat inside, and after a few words of greeting between the two sides, Wang Chengfeng also knew that Shen Chengping was not a disciple of the Shushan faction, but a disciple of the Laoshan faction, in the cultivation world, although the number of Laoshan factions was not as good as that of Shushan, there were also true immortals in charge, and Wang Chengfeng did not dare to underestimate it, not to mention that Yan Chixia, a disciple of Shushan, was also here.
At the same time, Shen Chengping also knew the origin of Wang Chengfeng, his family is also a big family in Jinhua, when he was a child, he accidentally met an old Taoist, was accepted as a disciple, and embarked on the road of cultivation, but because their family is a family of cultivators, they won the fame of lifting people a few years ago, so at this time they made the dress of a scholar, and the two people who accompanied him were the family members of his family, because now the world is gradually not peaceful, and he went out with these two people.
Wang Chengfeng was hesitating how to speak, but Shen Chengping asked first: "I heard that Brother Wang's family is in Jinhua before, why did you rush to Jiuhua today, is there something important?" ”
Wang Chengfeng sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said: "I went to Jiuhua, but it was for a classmate Zhu Jiucheng. Then, he told the truth of the matter.
His classmate is a scholarly family in Jiuhua, the two of them met when they were rushing to take the exam together, and there were two Jinshi in the family, who were officials in the court, held a high position, and had a slight influence in Shilin, and there were thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and hundreds of slaves, which could be regarded as a wealthy family.
There are marriages between wealthy families, and the marriage object of the Zhu family is the daughter of the Deng family, a member of the dynasty, the Deng family is a big family in Jiuhua City, with a very large influence, and there are many children as officials, it is a veritable official house, the two families have long been engaged, and the wedding will be held when the day comes.
Who knew that just two months ago, the daughter of the Deng family died inexplicably at home, her head disappeared, and the marriage naturally failed, which caused a very big loss to the reputation of the two families, so the two families joined forces to put pressure on the government, and the officials went around to arrest the murderer, making a lot of noise, but no clues were found, and finally everyone thought of ghosts and gods, and Wang Chengfeng helped this classmate Zhu Jiucheng because he was rushing to take the exam together. On the way to the exam, Zhu Jiucheng saw with his own eyes that Wang Chengfeng had gotten rid of the ghosts, so he wrote a letter and asked Wang Chengfeng to help investigate this matter.
"The head is gone, it's really possible!" Yan Chixia thought for a moment and said, "But I still need to see it, what do you think, Brother Shen?" ”
"Why don't we go for a trip, anyway, we originally wanted to go to Jiuhua to rest a little!" After leaving Lanruo Temple, the two of them also encountered a lot of ghosts along the way, and they wanted to find a city to rest, but since they heard about it, maybe they could also go by to kill demons.
"The two are willing to help, Wang is grateful!" Wang Chengfeng was overjoyed to see that the two were willing to agree.
The group arrived at Jiuhua City, Zhu Jiucheng personally greeted, after Wang Chengfeng's introduction, they went to Zhu's house to stay, the next morning after washing, I saw an old man in brocade clothes with a few servants waiting outside: "I am Zhu Zhen, the housekeeper of Zhu's mansion, I have seen two Taoist leaders, we have set up a banquet, specially entertained several masters who came to help the investigation." ”
Shen Chengping and Yan Chixia glanced at each other, and knew that the Zhu Mansion had invited other people to investigate, followed the housekeeper, and came directly to a room, and saw that there were already seven or eight men and women sitting in it, some Taoist monks, some old and young, and Wang Chengfeng was also among them.
"Let me introduce you to the two of you, these mages are specially invited by the master to investigate the case, hoping to gather the strength of many mages to find the murderer." After Steward Zhu finished speaking, he began to introduce in turn, and first pointed to an old monk and said: "This senior monk, Master Yuanhui of the famous Jinshan Temple, is a famous monk in our Jiuhua. ”
The old monk squinted his eyes, closed his hands, and stood up to salute: "Amitabha, Yuan Hui has seen two Taoist friends. ”
Shen Chengping saw that the old monk was also a cultivator, so he also returned the salute.
Steward Zhu continued to introduce a middle-aged Taoist priest, who was wearing a plain Taoist robe, wearing a Taoist crown, holding a whisk, and a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This Dao Dharma Master is the host of the Wind Mage, and his magical power of fishing for the moon in the water is very amazing. ”
The Shocking Wind Daoist didn't speak at this time, nor did he see the courtesy, only raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly to the two.
Shen Chengping glanced at him and smiled secretly in his heart, a fake Taoist priest who didn't have any mana at all, but his face was still full of arrogance, he was a charlatan, so he simply didn't pay attention to the other party.
Yan Chixia's temper was even stronger, and she glared directly at the frightened wind and said, "You straw bale who can only deceive fools, do you want me to throw you out, or do you get out by yourself?" ”
The wind was furious: "Presumptuous, how can you be so rude, let me teach you a lesson." said that he was going to arrest Yan Chixia as soon as he stretched out his hand, and he seemed to know how many martial arts he knew.
Yan Chixia stood still and let him catch her, only looked at him with her eyes, and lifted it vigorously, but found that she didn't move, no matter how hard she tried, she still didn't move, so she knew that she had met a master, and her color changed at the moment, and she flicked her sleeves and said, "I'm too lazy to bother with you." ”
"Now it's me who wants to deal with you!" Yan Chixia grabbed his collar with her backhand, and despite his struggle, she threw him out directly, and said loudly at the same time: "If I see you deceiving people again, I will definitely break your legs." ”
The frightened wind was very embarrassed by Yan Chixia, got up and turned around and wanted to say something cruel, and Yan Chixia's eyes were paired, but he was immediately frightened, leaving only one sentence: "The mountain does not turn around, see you in the future." With that, he left quickly.
Yan Chixia only turned around at this time, glanced at the others, and continued: "Who else is leaving, don't let me do it myself." ”
Those people's faces were red and white, they glanced at each other, stood up abruptly and said to Steward Zhu: "Steward Zhu, please say sorry to Master Zhu, there is nothing you can do about the affairs of the house." After speaking, he didn't dare to look at Yan Chixia and left directly, and in the end, in addition to Shen Chengping and Yan Chixia, only Monk Yuanhui and Wang Chengfeng remained, a total of four people.
Seeing this, he also knew that these people were all liars, so he said to Yan Chixia: "This Taoist is really a good skill, and the matter of this investigation will bother you!" ”
After several people introduced each other, an old man and a young man walked in, one of whom was Zhu Jiucheng, who personally greeted his party yesterday, and the two were slightly stunned when they saw the situation in the house.
Steward Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and explained in a whisper, and after a while, the old man's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Thank you Daoist Yan for helping the old man drive away those who deceive the world and steal his name." ”
"It doesn't have to be, let's get down to business." Yan Chixia doesn't like to be polite, and Master Zhu is not brainy, so after sitting down, he said: "Please come this time, I think my housekeeper has already said it roughly, and I won't say much." Master Zhu paused and continued: "As long as you can find out the murderer, my Zhu Mansion is not only willing to offer a thousand taels of silver, but also willing to donate a temple, and I am willing to worship it from time to time in the future." ”
