Chapter 031: A Scene of Fire Horror

"Brush-" "Brush-"

The wind blew through her skirt from side to side, bringing a chill that made people shiver. He Angelica's center of gravity was unstable for a while, and he fell to the ground, and the peripheral vision of his eyes happened to catch a glimpse of the strange scene of the raging fire suddenly extinguished.

Two big hands scooped her up from the ground, the left hand came from Duan Xiaolou, and the right hand was ...... Superb big hands. And He Angelica, who escaped death, was actually thinking at this moment - no wonder yesterday Duan Xiaolou said that several of them had the ability to extinguish fires, and it turned out that there was a very domineering cold in their palms. I heard that there are two sects in the world that are famous for "cold palms", so are they from De'an's Wujianmen, or Dali's Hongmen?

"Girl, how's it going? Where are you hurting! Duan Xiaolou's words were anxious, shaking her back and forth.

"Huh?" He Danggui came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at the handsome face that was close at hand, "I'm sorry, I'm influencing you to do an errand, I'll get out of the way immediately." There was a faint fear in her heart, if the flames touched her skin, would it hurt?

"What is wrong with you, where is it hurting?" Duan Xiaolou shook her twice, as if he wanted to see if she was still strong or not, and whether she would be shaken apart.

He Angelica shook his hand and said with a wry smile: "I was shaken so dizzy." ”

Gao Jue next to him let go of his hand after helping He Angelica up, standing next to him with a black face and not speaking at the moment, he heard He Angelica shouting faint at this moment, and knocked out Duan Xiaolou's claws with a "snap". Duan Xiaolou glared at him angrily: "It's all your fault, why don't you wait for us to leave before lighting the fire?!" Don't you know it's very windy today? ”

Gao Jue raised his head and suddenly let out a loud shout: "Tie them all up, and none of them can leave!" ”

He Angelica next to him was so shocked by the thunderous sound that his eardrums "buzzed", raised his hand to protect his ears, and looked sideways - some Taoist aunts led by Taishan took advantage of the fire being extinguished, and were huddled around, rummaging in the pile of books and papers.

More than a dozen blue-clothed officials rushed forward after the order, and a group of Taoist aunts scattered and fled when they heard the sound. However, the blue-clothed officials are obviously all kung fu people, they are stepping on strange steps, and every time they punch, a Dao Gu falls in response, and it only takes a while to arrest all the six Dao Gu who just grabbed things, and tie them up with ropes one by one. The Taoist aunts who were watching the excitement on the side were quite happy just now, but now they were all frightened and scattered, for fear of suffering from the pond fish.

On this side, Duan Xiaolou was doing a full body examination of He Angelica with his eyes, and at the same time pointed to He Angelica's knee and asked, "Girl, you are dirty here, have you fallen inside?" Then he pointed to He Angelica's sleeve, "It's scorched here, are there any burns in it?" Finally, he pointed to He Angelica's chest, "It's worn out here, but it's ...... inside."

He Angelica interrupted him: "Thank you, I'll check it out when I go back." ”

Duan Xiaolou was not very satisfied with her perfunctory attitude, and stared directly at the worn place on her apricot yellow dress, as if he wanted to see through a hole in the fabric to see if it was worn inside.

Taishan and the other five Dao Gu lay on the ground, howling and crying like pigs. One of them saw He Angelica with his eyes, as if he had seen a great savior, and called out bitterly: "Miss He, help, help!" Only you can save us! Others followed her lead and asked He Angelica for help. Even Taishan was no exception, very forgetfully ignoring the fact that she had pushed He Angelica into the fire a moment ago.

He Angelica was secretly amused in his heart, when did he become an immortal-level figure, whoever had something happened didn't call the immortal Bodhisattva for help, but shouted her name in unison for help. She couldn't save herself when she caught fire herself, but who can she save now!

This time, Duan Xiaolou didn't even leave He Angelica a chance to pretend to be, and flew away with her as soon as he hugged her.

Zhenjing squatted in the yard to wash clothes, and when she looked up inadvertently, she was surprised to see He Angelica being held by Duan Xiaolou, and the two fell from the roof. Zhenjing threw away the laundry stick, ran up and asked anxiously, "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?" Sick again? "Why did you go out vertically at noon, and now you are back horizontally?

He Angelica broke away from the chest with a faint fragrance of pear flowers, and at this broad chest, she complained for the fifth time: "Duan Gongzi, I can really go, please put me down." Duan Xiaolou let go of his hand stupidly. He Angelica fell to the ground, smiled at Zhenjing and explained: "It's okay, I accidentally fell just now, but in fact, nothing happened." Zhenjing, you go find two small bamboo tubes with water, the kind with lids, we will be useful tomorrow. ”

A bamboo tube for water? Zhenjing blinked, mistakenly thinking that Angelica wanted to break himself up so that he could get along alone with Duan Gongzi, so Zhenjing said smartly: "Looking for a bamboo tube?" Ah, that's a lot of trouble, it may take two or three hours to find it! I'm not going to come back so soon, you guys go inside and talk slowly, I'm going to find out until it's dark! As he spoke, he printed wet little hands on his apron, and ran away as soon as he slipped away. He Angelica was speechless for a while. Heaven can testify that she really needs bamboo tubes.

Duan Xiaolou, who had a good memory, still hadn't forgotten the previous stubble, he stared intently at her flat chest and asked, "Sister He, you see that your clothes here are worn out, and there are ...... inside."

He Angelica rolled his eyes and replied to him firmly: "It's very good inside." ”

But Duan Xiaolou was extremely uneasy: "You know it's good before you see it?" It's better to check it out! ”

He Angelica told him very firmly: "I just know." No need to check. ”

After the "fire shock" just now, the embarrassing aura between the two has faded a lot, and the two of them have a tacit understanding that they chose to forget the past when Duan Xiaolou was rejected by He Angelica when they asked for marriage, and began to chat and laugh naturally, which was a little more enthusiastic than the attitude before the courtship.

"By the way, Duan Gongzi, you haven't made it clear yet, what are those books and papers that Master Gao burned, I think Taishan just now even fought for their old lives, and they also took my little life!" Seeing that Duan Xiaolou still looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, He Angelica became even more curious, "Heh, could there be any shocking secrets in a small water business view, and he can't even say it?" ”

Duan Xiaolou coughed, and finally explained to her: "What Taishan wants to get back is her loan bill. Although our people found this batch of documents last night, they didn't know what they were, so they took one of them, and put the rest back untouched. Later, Taishan returned to the room and didn't notice it, probably thinking that she had escaped the search by luck. Today, Lu Jiangbei picked up the slip and took a look at it, and found that it was a loan shark IOU, and the interest on it was amazingly high. Sister He, do you know, although the law of the Ming Dynasty allows private loans to exist, the interest must not be higher than four and a half times the interest of the general bank, and the usury that is too good is far higher than this standard, which is commonly known as the "donkey rolling". ”

He Angelica nodded, it was the first time she had heard of usury that she was too good. But now that I think about it, in the previous life, Taishan increased the rent arrears of the Zhenjing family so high, it was clearly usury. She also followed Duan Xiaolou's words and said: "So, you will go to Taishan Qiuhou today to settle the general account, confiscate all her documents, and plan to burn them down as punishment." And those Dao aunts and masters were probably promised some benefits by Taishan, so they helped her to snatch the documents together, but in the end they still failed and were captured. "Hehe, the scene of "officers and soldiers bravely capturing Daogu" just now is really exciting enough.

Duan Xiaolou smiled and said, "Sister He is really Bingxue smart, and what she said is exactly right. Just earlier, when I confiscated the receipts, Taishan, who was red-eyed, suddenly shouted to her disciple, 'Listen, grab back a list of ten taels of silver and be promoted to the inner hall steward.' So those Taoist aunts relied on themselves to be women, and they rushed up and snatched a few of them like crazy, and it was inconvenient for me to hurt them, after all, they were just bought and used by Taishan. But Gao Jue, that bastard, hurt a lot of people as soon as he shot in order to get back the documents, and he turned around and accused me of doing things badly. Wow, even beating women is really ruthless and unjust......"

He Angelica said: "Most of the Taoist aunts here are mountain village aunts, and they have never seen any martial arts masters, and they think that they can fight hard with a large number of people." They don't know, in fact, in the eyes of the masters, they are as light as dust, and they can be swept away with a raised hand. He Danggui thought for a while and said, "However, they have learned a lot of lessons, although they have obstructed the official mission to handle the case, but in the end they are just some fools, you must not be punished strictly, right?" ”

Duan Xiaolou glanced at her gently, and said with a low smile: "Are you helping them intercede?" The laughter shook his chest slightly, and the air was filled with the faint scent of pear blossoms from his clothes.

He Angelica was noncommittal, and remembered a strange thing: "By the way, I saw that in addition to Taishan's documents just now, many books were also burned, and those were all black account books that she recorded?" Uh-huh, that's weird...... Could it be too much? ”

Duan Xiaolou hesitated and said the truth: "Those are all spring. Palace. The book was found in the meditation room of those Taoist aunts. ”

"......, He Angelica was slightly embarrassed, he didn't ask so much detail if he knew it."

Looking at her who showed a similar "shy" expression for the first time, Duan Xiaolou smiled happily: "Originally, it was nothing for ordinary people to have a few such books, but after all, this is a Taoist temple, and collecting those books has defiled the place of cultivation. Wei Wenzhou, who took the lead in the search last night, was a very serious person, and he actually detained all the books that had something to do with this, so there were only 200 books in total. ”

He Angelica blinked and said, "Well, even if the monks did not abide by the rules and precepts, they have their own precepts and precepts to deal with, so it is better to ask the master to personally supervise the implementation." You're not going to get to the bottom of the blame, are you? ”

Now, He Angelica finally understood why Taixi was so polite to her before, it turned out that there was such an ugly thing that wanted her to intercede. If the water business view collection of two hundred springs. Palace. If the book spreads, then there will be no more incense pilgrims here in the future, but you can change the Taoist temple to a signboard and turn it into a green building. However, Taixi and her both have their own needs, and she has also achieved her goal, so let's help these Dao aunts once.

Duan Xiaolou frowned at his good-looking sword eyebrows, and a rare luster burst out between his eyes: "I don't care about other people, that's too good to be really black-hearted, this time I have to let her take off a layer of skin!" ”

He Angelica shrugged his shoulders and analyzed objectively and calmly: "Taishan is a usury, and the highest punishment in the law is 'ruining the evidence', and you have already done this; She can also quibble that she just rushed to the fire for a moment, forgot to let go of her grip on me, and then moved out of her 'three privileges of being a monk', and then moved out of her 'three privileges of being a monk', hehehe, at most, a fine of silver, and she didn't even have to go in prison to sit in prison. Besides, if you burn her usury IOUs and make her lose a lot of money, she will hit the tenants who grow the Taoist farmland, and extract money from them even harder, which is called the big fish eating the small fish, and the small fish eating the shrimp. ”

Duan Xiaolou looked at this little girl who was full of energy and talked eloquently, couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair, and comforted her: "Don't worry about this, you don't need to be too good at dealing with a mere one, you don't need to find any charges, I can also make her suffer." ”

"No, no, never!" He Danggui grabbed his sleeve and hurriedly stopped, "Duan Gongzi, listen well, I don't want you to use the power of Jinyiwei to do these things, and I don't want you to help me deal with Taishan!" "She owes me, I will use my own way to get it back, I don't want to fake it, and I don't want to owe you more favors. It's just because I know best that money and debts are easy to repay, but love debts are difficult to repay.
