The man walked slowly into the house, came in and struck the two of them, and asked, "Who drew the sword?" What's the matter with me? At that time, Chen Yixuan hurriedly stepped forward, clenched his fists and arched his hands, "I don't know the ......number of the immortals," the other party interrupted him and said, "I'm going to do six at home." Chen Yixuan hurriedly complimented: "Sixth Master, that's the case......" Chen Yixuan told what happened.

The sixth master pondered for a moment and said, "Back then, I promised your ancestor that when the sect was destroyed, he would help him, and now do you want me to solve the case or let me cure his flower willow disease?" Chen Yixuan and his junior brother fought to solve each other's difficulties, Chen Yixuan begged the sixth master to cure the junior brother, and the junior brother begged the sixth master to solve his case. The sixth master groaned and said, "I think so! I'll cure his flower willow disease and help you solve the case, but there is one condition! As he spoke, without waiting for the two of them to answer, he took out a small porcelain vase, threw it to his junior brother, and said, "Eat one grain a day, and it will be fine for a month!" Then he turned to Chen Yixuan and said: "I just have to track down the whereabouts of the things, as for retaking them, I don't care, the conditions are ......" The sixth master paused and said: "The identity of a police officer, because to investigate the case below, the local police must cooperate; 2,500 oceans, two good horses, two police uniforms, two German-made shell guns, each with 200 rounds of ammunition! Chen Yixuan promised to go back to solve the problem, bid farewell to his junior brother, and boarded the train to Tianjin with the sixth master. After returning to Tianjin, he arranged for the sixth master to live in a guest house, and Chen Yixuan went back to the police department to solve the required equipment.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Chen Yixuan and the sixth master rode off on horseback. On the same day, when he arrived at Wuzhong County, he arranged to live in a guest house, and Chen Yixuan ran errands and went to the police station to contact the police. The next morning, I arrived at the scene. The scene was pulled up by the local police, and there were police standing guards, and the sixth master didn't investigate the scene at all, but walked towards a dirt bag outside the big line, which was covered with humulus. The grass was full of dew, and Chen Yixuan didn't follow. The sixth master climbed on it and looked at it, reached out and picked up something from the grass, took out a handkerchief and wrapped it, then got on the horse and told the local policeman: "Go back!" After that, he called Chen Yixuan and walked north......

The road is not wide, and it is flanked by tall sorghum fields. Walking out not far, there are a few flower bags on the road (here is a cotton-producing area, flower bags are a kind of basket used to hold cotton, square bottom, large and small, overall trapezoidal, usually can also be used to hold firewood and grass, etc., similar to the back basket in the south - author's note) to the front, see some sorghum buds in each flower bag, a few children in the sorghum field, see two people in police uniforms, are stunned there, at a loss. The sixth master jumped off the horse, walked into the sorghum field, and also broke the sorghum buds. Chen Yixuan was very puzzled at the time, this sorghum has not yet spit out ears, doesn't this harm the crops? Due to his professional habits, Chen Yixuan's observation was very careful, and he could see that the sixth master was not broken one by one, but occasionally broke one tree. After a while, the sixth master broke a lot, each holding a leaf. When he walked out, in front of a child, there was a "whoosh" and threw them all in the child's bag, leaving only two in his hand. At this time, he found that the child looked at the sixth master with a confused expression, which was different from the expressions of the other children, and the other children all had frightened expressions, obviously worried that the two bosses would pursue them for being naughty, but this child was different, his expression was not fear, but confused! It's like trying to remember something! This made Chen Yixuan feel extremely incomprehensible

The sixth master got back on his horse, handed the sorghum bud to Chen Yixuan, and said, "You taste it!" "What did Chen Yixuan say in his heart? Taste this? Just when he was puzzled, he saw the sixth master peel off the sorghum bud three times and two times, Chen Yixuan was stunned at that time, what is this? I saw the peeled sorghum bud in the sixth master's hand, like a cigarette, white! Is this what this sorghum looked like before it was grown? This is the first time I've seen it! I saw the sixth master bite off half of the "cigarette" and chew it in his mouth! Nodding. Chen Yixuan also tried to peel off the sorghum bud in his hand, and it was really a cigarette-like thing, taking a bite and chewing it, there was a special fragrance, which was really delicious. Look at the bitten stubble, it's gray inside. The sixth master bit off the "cigarette" again, clamped his legs, and urged the horse to walk forward, and Chen Yixuan also followed behind. The sixth master didn't speak along the way, and Chen Yixuan didn't dare to ask, so he was speechless all the way.

There was a bridge in front, there was a breakfast stall at the head of the bridge, the two sat down, and each person ate two meatloaf and a bowl of haggis soup, which tasted pretty good! At least Chen Yixuan still remembers this early meal when he told us about it. After that, the sixth master rode on the horse, and Chen Yixuan rode a horse to follow, and asked, "Where to go next?" The sixth master grabbed the horse and replied: "Tangshan!" ”

Chen Yixuan was confused at that time, what to do in Tangshan, which is more than 70 miles away from here? At that time, I didn't have time to think about it, and I beat the horse to keep up. I was not in a hurry all the way, it was fast and slow, and I arrived in Tangshan before noon, Chen Yixuan still ran errands, contacted and cooperated with the Tangshan Police Department, and lived in a guest house. At noon, the local police chief will accompany the meal, and after the meal, they will rest in the guest house, and the local police officers will feed, drink, and brush the horses. The sixth master and Chen Yixuan had nothing to do, so they took a lunch break in the room. When I woke up, it was already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it turned out that the sixth master was full of food and sleep! After waking up, the sixth master was going out for a walk, accompanied by several local policemen, and after a few turns, he had some food, and the sixth master went to the bookstore, and Chen Yixuan accompanied him in the back, listening to the book. The storytellers in the bookstore can't be compared with the level of storytelling in the Tianjin bookstore, but the sixth master listened with relish, and Chen Yixuan had no choice but to accompany him. Hearing the end, the sixth master stood up and went back to the guest house.

Nothing was said all night. The next day, after 9 o'clock in the morning, the police came to see several times and asked if they would eat breakfast, and the sixth master told them not to eat. After washing, the sixth master instructed Chen Yixuan to leave the two thousand five hundred yuan of the ocean, leave five hundred yuan, and put the two thousand in the box and bring them, as well as the two guns and bullets. After leading the horse, several local cooperating policemen followed behind with guns. After walking a little way, I saw a mule cart, and an old man in his fifties was directing three young people to load the truck. The sixth master pointed to the car and said to the accompanying policemen: "When they finish loading the car, invite these people and people to Yufeng Restaurant, and say that I will invite them to dinner, don't frighten them!" ”

When the old man said this, I interjected and said, "Why don't you invite you to Hongfang?" The old man smiled and said, "Hongyan and the big world didn't have it at that time!" Yufeng was the largest restaurant at that time! "Frankly speaking, I didn't really have any doubts when I interjected, but I saw that the old man had been talking for a long time, so I interrupted him and asked him to drink tea and take a rest, so I took out a cigarette and lit it for the old man, and then lit it for the third uncle. The old man looked at me and said to the third uncle, "The child is good! Better than you! The third uncle immediately laughed and said: "Most people are better than me, I have been a maintenance fitter all my life, and this life is like this, the contented person is happy!" Haha......"

After a while, the old man continued.

He followed the sixth master to Yufeng Restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered a private table, and waited in the private room, and after about half an hour, the bell rang outside, and he could hear the bell on the mule's neck. Those few people were brought, all with fear on their faces, and the sixth master stepped forward to greet him, and when he saw the old man, he said, "Grandpa is here!" "Chen Yixuan almost sat on the ground at that time, what is the situation? I saw the old man trembling and said, "Boss, we haven't done anything bad!" The sixth master still called him a master and said, "Master, I don't mean anything else, I just invite you to have a meal, there is nothing good or bad!" You are invited to ...... inside", and then said to the big man behind him, "Master please come in too!" The big man seemed to be a little stunned, and muttered, "No relatives like this......"

Talking and going inside, behind him was a young man in his twenties and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, the sixth master hurriedly called the uncle and the third master, but this time when the sixth master called them, the word "master" was soft, and it was the eldest generation, that is, the eldest uncle and the third uncle. After coming in, he didn't dare to sit, and Chen Yixuan didn't know what to say! The sixth master stretched out his hand and said to everyone, "Sit down." But none of them dared to sit down. The sixth master opened the wine, poured it for several people, and was still serving food at this time, serving a plate of elbows, the big man didn't sit, but picked up the chopsticks and clamped it, and the old man who was called the grandfather by the sixth master slapped him on the hand and drank: "You dare to eat anything!" The sixth master smiled at the time and said, "Let my master eat!" As he spoke, he took the chopsticks three times and two times, and then he clamped the elbow into several pieces, and put one of them into the bowl in front of the tall man. Chen Yixuan couldn't stand it anymore at that time, so he stretched the corner of the sixth master's clothes and whispered: "Chief, come out, I have something to say!" ”

When he got outside, Chen Yixuan said to the sixth master: "Let's investigate the case, it's not that the grandson is here, what do you want to ask them, just ask, if it doesn't work, they will be arrested and tortured, there is no need for this!" I have been judging cases for so many years, and they are all afraid of officials, and we are the boss! You can't ......" Before he finished speaking, the sixth master waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, "You care so much, you go and bring the two thousand oceans!" Then he turned and went into the house.

Chen Yixuan went to the saddle bag and brought the box, and when he entered the house, he saw that the sixth master was already talking and drinking with those people, and there was no official and civilian atmosphere before, it was really as if the sixth master was that person's grandson......
