Chapter 610: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Xiao Yu thought for a while and asked, "Has there been any abnormal situation in General Liu's mansion recently?" ”
Hearing Xiao Yu's inquiry, Li Xianling was immediately taken aback, pondered for a moment, and said:
"This ...... Probably not. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I don't know, after all."
"Huh? How so? Xiao Yu asked.
Li Xianling shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said:
"General Liu has guarded the border for more than ten years, and he has made great achievements, and it is even said that he has the power of ghosts and gods on the battlefield......"
"The power of ghosts?" Xiao Yu's heart moved, and he said, "Go on." ”
Li County Commander said:
"After General Liu returned to his hometown, his family had thousands of acres of fertile land, hundreds of servants, and more tenant helpers, if there was an entanglement among the villagers in the town, most of them would go to General Liu's housekeeper to solve it, and they would hardly ...... me to ."
"I see." Xiao Yu was stunned.
Since ancient times, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although the county order is the official of the imperial court, but when the term expires, he will leave, and he is alone, so the wrist is slightly worse, and he can't fight the local gentry at all.
Xiao Yu is new to the scene at this moment, even if the Dao is invincible, but in the case of a black eye, it is difficult to find out who is behind the scenes, and he can't pull everyone in the town to the square and use mind reading to interrogate one by one, right?
"In that case, let's muddy the waters." Xiao Yu quickly made up his mind.
As the saying goes, "it's easy to fish in muddy waters", now that the other party is vigilant, he will not act easily, it is better to muddy the water here, and the other party will have the time to show his feet.
……
Early the next morning.
But when they heard the noise of gongs and drums and the roar of firecrackers, the residents who were locked in their homes to avoid the disaster could not help but poke their heads out, and saw a group of officials whizzing through the streets, shouting at the top of their voices:
"Come out and take a look, Lord Qingtian has already arrested the culprit! It's right at the door of the yamen. ”
"Really?"
"It should be true, the eldest master has spoken, so he won't lie to us."
The villagers muttered, and some of them were bold and good, so they walked towards the county government with a suspicious attitude, and soon there was a sound of inhaling cold air.
"What a big centipede!"
"I'm afraid such a big black centipede has already become a sperm, right?"
"No wonder I can't catch it, it turns out that it's a demon!"
Li Xianling stood at the door of the county office, his waist was straight, and he said loudly:
"Fathers and fellow villagers, everyone has suffered these days, it is this evil animal that harms people at night, and now that it has been arrested, everyone does not need to worry about it in the future."
There was a round of cheers at the door of the yamen.
When the sound stopped, someone dared to ask:
"Dare to ask your lord, how did you catch this centipede essence?"
"It's just, I feel panicked when I look at it, can those officials take it?"
Li Xianling smiled slightly and said:
"It's not a secret, but there is a Taoist who passed by, and saw that our town was gloomy and gloomy, and he was full of resentment, so he used his sword to kill demons and demons, and I waited for a piece of blue sky......"
Before noon, the villages near Pingyin Town were plastered with announcements.
Of course, people in this era are very unfamiliar with such things as announcements -- in addition to the county government, they specially post official documents of the imperial court, or the public notice board offering a reward for the arrest of Jiangyang thieves, who has ever seen this kind of thing posted all over the street?
Of course, this has a great reason for the low literacy rate and high illiteracy of the ancients, otherwise you will post hundreds of "ancestral old military doctors, specializing in bragging", and others will be at a loss, and then read as "the bright moonlight in front of the bed, two pairs of shoes on the ground", that is, there are thousands of ambitions, all kinds of pride, and you can only cry out in vain.
After all, in this era when the entertainment industry is extremely unreachable, everyone urgently needs new things to open up the world.
So curious, the literate scholars and the common people gathered in front of the announcements, carefully watched the contents of the tabloids, and those who did good things read it aloud to the illiterate people, which immediately caused an uproar.
And the word that appears the most is undoubtedly the "Heavenly Master Dao Master who inherited Longhu Mountain".
With this majesty, Li County's order swept away the decadence of the Tang Dynasty in the past, and the limelight in the county was immeasurable for a while, and even suppressed General Liu, and even suppressed a group of businessmen who formed a party and ran a private business, and most of the filial piety of these businessmen on weekdays was handed over to the general's mansion......
Three days later, an invitation was suddenly delivered to Li County.
This is a very formal vermilion prayer post, but the content in it is not very serious, it is the fourth concubine who is pregnant with a child, and begging Li Xianling to have a drink.
Putting down the post, Li Xian Lingzhi frowned, and his face was very ugly.
He is a civil official, General Liu Lao is a military general, and the two sides are not in harmony, although they are in the same town, they are mostly avoided in the past. At this moment, he suddenly handed over a post, and the content was actually a sesame mung bean big thing like the pregnancy of the concubine in the fourth room...... There is no doubt that the other side is demonstrative.
"Xiao Gongzi, what do you think?" Li Xianling asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yu's voice suddenly sounded in the empty room, "Go, why don't you go, you are a county official, so many pairs of eyes are looking at it, you can't admit it, it's so embarrassing." ”
If he dares to go, the other party must have the means to pinch him, but there is no chance of turning the tables, but if he doesn't dare, he is pretending to be a coward.
“……”
In the past few days, there has been no more heart-digging incident, and it is obvious that after cutting the centipede essence, the poisonous snake hidden in the dark was startled.
However, Xiao Yu was not idle, but read a lot of interesting things, such as anecdotes about the old General Liu......
General Liu's real name is Liu Wei, a child who grew up locally, when he was a child, his appearance was not obvious, but when he was ten years old, his parents had tuberculosis, and both died, leaving him as an only son, who was picked up by a distant relative, and went for decades, and has not been heard from since, only some old people still remember the child.
Who knew that decades later, Liu Wei, who had left his hometown alone, actually returned to the town with a large number of servants, and even became a general, worthy of fresh clothes and angry horses, and returned to his hometown in fine clothes.
Immediately, there was an uproar.
So all kinds of rumors about Liu Wei also spread, the most widely circulated of which is the story of this general's ability to make ghosts and gods fight...... It is said that Liu Wei fought most of the battles at night, and he was invincible and invincible.
The rumor may be exaggerated, but it is not groundless.
In other words, General Liu is not an ordinary person, at least he knows some metaphysical Taoism.
In the decades when he left his hometown, he grew from a down-and-out child to a general, and the road must have been full of thorns and obstacles.
Such a person must be very vigilant in character, otherwise he would have died under the open gun and hidden arrows, and he is by no means the target of easy assassination...... So, is he more in line with the speculation?
Time passed quietly.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.
Outside the General's Palace.
When I raised my eyes, I saw that there were two huge stone lions at the door, dozens of carriages were parked at the door, and the famous foreign gentry in the vicinity came to congratulate, and the congratulatory gifts were even parked for half a day......
