Chapter 196: Scud (2)
Based on his own judgment, Scud stated his opinion, saying: "If this woman had died in the defendant's house, they would never have left the dead body at the gate of their house." This woman was hanged with hemp rope, and the lord could survey the doors of each house, and whoever had hemp rope hanging on the door of their house, this woman was hanged on the door of whose house. ”
The county magistrate saw that what Scud said was reasonable, and it was a murder case, so he really had to take the official to check it out in person. As a result, the missing hemp rope was found on the neighbor's doorbrow.
In the face of ironclad evidence, the neighbor had to confess and explain the whole process of the matter.
At this point, the case was revealed, and the old man's son was acquitted. The story of the "flying corpse" of the scud who repaid the favor at night also disappeared, and became the information for people to talk about their old children after tea and dinner.
When Li Hong heard that the scud had such great ability, he was overjoyed. I thought: It is now the Jiajing period, and it has only been more than 100 years since I ran a horse to occupy the land, and it is impossible for there to be miscellaneous surnames in the village. This scud can't keep it as his descendant.
Thinking so, I was even more eager to see Scud, and asked clearly. said to Qi Xiaoting: "Let's go to the village now, call this Scud, and if you need to send a letter or something, you can send him." We are not familiar with each other, and if Jiaona leaves again, there will be insufficient manpower. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "It's okay, isn't the purpose of your coming here to want to see your hometown, just to fulfill your wish." If this Scud is your offspring, wouldn't it be more convenient to command.
"I can't go today, though. Now it's getting late, and when you get there, it's dark, and if people know that you are their ancestor and want to entertain you, they won't have anywhere to buy food. It's better to go early tomorrow morning, and we can see clearly what the situation is at home and in the village. ”
"I think of something when you say this," Li Hong said to the rich man Li: "After all, I have been dead for more than 100 years, and from now on, do not mention that I am Li Hong who occupies a horse race, so as not to cause people to panic." There are a lot of things that can't be said. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "What if Scud is really your offspring?" ”
Li Hong: "I see things and do things, and I can hide them from him." ”
Rich Master Li nodded: "Yes, your experiences are very delicate, and I also thought about it for a long time before I figured it out." Where did we say it, from now on, I will only call you Taoists. Nothing else will be mentioned. ”
After everyone was resting in their own rooms, Qi Xiaoting flashed into the space alone. Today, she collected three legends in one day, and she wanted to see how the Black Earth reacted.
As soon as she entered the space, Long Yi picked her up lazily and spun her quickly, until Qi Xiaoting's head was dizzy and her eyes were full of stars.
"Dead Dragon One, people are tired from working outside for a day, and you comfort me like this!" After being put down, Qi Xiaoting slapped Long Yi with a few fists in disgust.
Long Yi said with a smile: "I finally came to share it with me, but you still don't let me express it!" ”
"Share?" Qi Xiaoting blinked her eyes, pointed at Long Yi and said, "You mean...... Black Soil ......"
"That's right!" Long Yiyi picked up Qi Xiaoting and put it on his shoulder: "You go and see for yourself, in one day, from east to west, it has expanded a foot and a half!" ”
Qi Xiaoting enjoyed it, hugged Long Yi's neck, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek: "I collected three legends and stories on the land of Jianjin Prefecture in one day, and I came in tonight just to verify and verify, and it worked." If so, I'll collect more. ”
Ryuichi: "I hope so. As soon as I saw the black earth stretching out, I knew you were out there gathering legends. In the future, if there is such a thing, it will also be transmitted to me, so that I can be happy and happy in advance. ”
"Look at you!"
Qi Xiaoting said, breaking Long Yi's arm and jumping down from his shoulder, although Long Yi had strength, because he was wearing shackles, he walked and made a fuss, Qi Xiaoting was very distressed.
The two came hand in hand to the edge of the black soil, when they looked at it last night, the black soil was still a little far away from the stone jujube tree, and now the jujube tree has recovered, and it is full of pearl-like jujube fruits, bright red and red, which makes people salivate.
The black earth was a foot past the jujube trees, black and fluffy, stretching out on both sides.
"Wow! It's really a collection of legends, and the black earth stretches out half a foot! Qi Xiaoting couldn't help herself excitedly, threw herself into Long Yi's arms, grabbed his waist and said:
"Long Yi, I want to take this opportunity to collect a lot of folklore here, so that the stone slate can be resolved as soon as possible, so that you can live comfortably in it!"
Long Yi kissed Qi Xiaoting's forehead, and said emotionally: "Thank you for your hard work!" As he spoke, he picked her up sideways, and put his hand into the hem of his robe.
"You're so bad!" Qi Xiaoting hurriedly broke free from his embrace, glanced at him shyly, and flashed out of the space.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Li Hong called Qi Xiaoting up: "I didn't sleep for half the night last night, and I don't want to wait for a while, let's go to the village." ”
He also said to the rich man Li: "You are here to guard the old camp for us, and you should not participate in the war for the monsters." ”
But the rich man Li didn't do it, and said resolutely: "I am the party concerned, and the snake princess was provoked by me, so I should take the lead in this matter." Besides, I'm a local, I know the place well, and I'm quicker to inquire than you. At least I'll get you there in a car. ”
Li Hongjian said that he had no choice but to agree.
Jiaona is reluctant to deal with mortals and is free to move alone.
The rich man arranged for the eldest wife and her family, and a group of three people came to the village in a carriage.
If there are not many families in the village, there are only 30 or 40 households. Everyone in the village knew about Scud, and they heard about it as soon as they inquired.
This is a very ordinary small farm yard, with three north rooms and an east ear house, and the location of the east wing room is a building, in which firewood and grass are placed. To the north was a stove with dust piled up. It seems that this is the place to cook in the summer.
In the west wing, there is a pile of dry branches, and under the branches is a vegetable bed, which is used to grow vegetables when the weather is warm.
Scud was in his forties, tall and thin, dressed in black coarse cloth clothes, and looked very sophisticated.
"...... are you," Scud asked in surprise as he saw the three of them.
Although the Scud goes fast, it is not very useful in the countryside. And because of the large amount of food and the poor family, relatives and friends do not move around frequently. It's really surprising that someone comes here occasionally.
"We're here for you." Rich Li said first.
After the greetings, the rich man Li took the initiative to say: "My house is unfortunate, and there is not a day of peace in the family of a concubine. I was so distraught that I had the idea of breaking up. Luckily, this Taoist found out and saved me.
"When the Taoist chief arrived home, he was tied up by the troublesome concubine, and then we found out that the concubine was a demon. Later, the apprentice of the Taoist came to save him, and he was also tied up. ”
Qi Xiaoting answered the stubble and said: "That demon is good, we can't fight her, I want to ask our capable people in Jianjin Prefecture to help and kill her."
"No, after hearing about your deeds, we first defected. For the sake of a Thornjin state, please lend a helping hand. ”
Scud frowned: "I just walked faster, I don't have any other abilities, and I don't know anything about killing monsters and catching monsters." ”
Li Hong hurriedly said: "Walking fast is an ability. We also want to look for other people with abilities through you. If you go fast, you can also ventilate us for us. Or a contact or something, it's good. Hey, strong man, what is your surname? ”
Scud: "Don't be surnamed Li." ”
Li Hong: "Are there any other surnames in this village?" ”
Scud: "No, the male surname is Li, and he is the descendant of an old grandfather." ”
Li Hong: "What's your grandfather's name?" ”
Scud: "Li Hong." He was a general who led the troops to fight during the two generations of emperors Hongwu and Yongle. The horse race came here and settled here. ”
When Li Hong heard this, his face was red with excitement, and he asked further: "Then what generation of grandsons are you Li Hong?" What is your name? ”
Scud: "Fifth generation grandson." Naya Rain. I'm the oldest in the village. The youngest is in the seventh and eighth generations. ”
Li Hong was so excited that he burst into tears: It turns out that this Scud Li Guyu is his fifth-generation grandson, and Li Men is lucky! has produced such an outstanding character, and it is not in vain that he led his troops to fight and became a general!
He had the heart to recognize each other on the spot, thinking about his identity and following Long Yi, it was too mysterious to say it, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to give up.
Seeing that Li Hong asked carefully, Scud's eyes looking at him were also a little ambiguous, and he felt strange, and couldn't help asking, "Where does the Taoist come from?" Are there any relatives in the village? ”
"No, no." Li Hong hurriedly said: "If you want to ask me where I come from, I have to ask you one thing first: Do you know the origin of the names of the villages of Balong, Wengkou, Zilong, and Liuchang? ”
Scud: "Yes. ”
Li Hong: "Then you can briefly tell me the origin of the names of these villages." ”
Scud: "Okay, I'll give you a rough idea." He briefly told the legend of the Eight Dragons, the Urn Mouth, the Purple Dragon, and the Liuchang, and finally said:
In order to completely break the imperial feng shui here, Liu Bowen used the method of winning by pressure to change the name of Daxu Village to Balong Village. Then, according to the direction, the village south of Balong Village was named Wengkou, Zilong, and Liuchang, which means that the eight dragons were detained with Weng and held purple until they rotted and flowed into the soup, completely destroying the imperial feng shui here, and Cao Gen Cao Tietou, the son of the old rich man Cao who should become the emperor, also became a head shaver. ”
"You know very specifically, and the generalizations are very comprehensive." Li Hong exclaimed.
Scud: "This story is a household name in our country, young and old. ”
Li Hong: "Do you still know what will happen in the future?" ”
Scud smiled: "Later? The Eight Dragons Altar was smashed, the emperor's feng shui was broken, and the emperor became a head shaver, what else will happen? ”
