Chapter 17: Asking for Sight

He Lingjiang looked out the window, twisted the hexagram paper on his hand again, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twist.

It will rain tomorrow, but this rain will not be a blessing......

She thought about it, but went downstairs and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I don't know where this county guard is located?" ”

The shopkeeper was humming a tune boringly in front of the counter at this time, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyelids and asked, "What did the lady ask the county guard to do?" ”

"We are coming from other places, and we need to meet the Shaoyang County Guard ...... some things," He Lingjiang said with a smile.

The shopkeeper said: "This county guard mansion is not far from our inn, but it is not close. From here, it will be about half an hour smaller. ”

He Lingjiang nodded, didn't ask anything more, then raised his feet and went upstairs again, picked up the hexagram paper on the table, and couldn't help frowning.

Qiong Zhi, who was standing on the side, finally asked: "Seven Niangzi, is there something wrong with that hexagram just now?" ”

He Lingjiang bowed slightly: "I have to go out." If the fourth uncle asked, he said that I went out to do errands. ”

Hearing that she went out alone, Qiong Zhi was a little worried: "But do you want to call He Zheng?" ”

Among them, He Zheng's martial arts are the best, and if anything happens, he can also protect the Seventh Lady.

He Lingjiang looked at her worried look and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't need to find someone to fight when I went out this time, so it would be inconvenient for He Zheng to act." ”

What's more, this matter can't be solved by knocking people down.

She looked at Qiong Zhi again and said, "Qiong Zhi, you have always loved to study medical skills, and you have also studied the art of disguise. Here, just help me disguise. ”

Qiong Zhi's face was suspicious: "What is the lady planning to do?" ”

"I'll go to the county guard's mansion tonight and give this Shaoyang county guard a hexagram." He Ling Jiang Waner said.

"Fortune telling? Still going to Shaoyang County to guard the house? Qiong Zhi was even more puzzled at this time, and the co-authoring lady just asked the location of the county guard, did she have such a plan?

"yes." He Lingjiang pointed to the hexagram paper on the table, "This hexagram does have some bad signs, but the rain after the drought may not be a blessing." ”

"Now that I know, I'll go and give the Shaoyang County Guard a reminder, so as not to suffer at that time."

Qiong Zhi nodded helplessly: "We don't have all the things at hand at the moment, and the maid can only give you a little reluctance, which is not as fine as Su Ri." ”

He Lingjiang waved his hand: "It's fine, it's just a cover-up." ”

In that case, Qiong Zhi doesn't have so many worries.

She went downstairs again, took out the things she needed from the carriage, and quickly cleaned up He Lingjiang from beginning to end, and then changed her into a spare coarse cloth shirt.

A young Taoist with a handsome face appeared in front of her.

He Lingjiang looked at the mirror and praised with satisfaction: "It's not bad." ”

As long as you don't look closely at this dress in the daytime, you won't find anything wrong.

She stretched out her hand again to take the flag that was lying on the side, and this flag was still Aman took advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, smoked his bamboo pole, and propped up a coarse cloth, hastily made, with four big characters on it: "Measure and pray for rain".

He Lingjiang held the flag in her hand, and her sleeves flicked slightly, and she asked in a low voice: "According to a few ladies, how is the poor road?" ”

Aman couldn't help but stroke his palm: "Wonderful, the lady pretended to be this long, but she can still win the trust of the little Taoists in Yunjuguan." ”

He Lingjiang couldn't help but say: "You wait, I'll be back later." ”

The sunset gradually dissipated, and the sky became a little darker.

She pushed open the window, took advantage of the inattention of others, sneaked out of the inn, and went straight to the county guard's mansion.

The curfew in the city had not yet fallen, but due to the drought, there were no pedestrians on the streets at this time.

He ordered Jiang to run under his feet, and when he arrived in front of the county guard's mansion, it was just completely dark.

She slowed her pace, made a leisurely gesture, walked to the side door of the county guard's house, and knocked on the door.

The old servant who guarded the door opened the corner door and looked at the young Taoist priest in front of him with a puzzled expression: "This little Taoist leader, knocking on the door at night, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

He Lingjiang held up the banner in his hand and motioned for him to look at it for himself.

"Measure and pray for rain?" The old servant fortunately also knew a few big characters, and waved his hand again and again, "There is no one in our house to measure and pray for rain, so the little Taoist chief should go to the side and ask." ”

Xu is body does have a bit of immortal wind and bones, facing the young Taoist in front of him, the old servant is still polite, and only whispers to persuade him to leave quickly.

He Lingjiang didn't move at his feet: "I'm not here to calculate for the people in your house." The county guard must have been troubled by the great drought lately, and I came to pray for rain. ”

"What kind of rain are you praying for? Is it not enough to have a Taiping Sect toss? Don't join in the fun......"

In recent days, a Taiping Sect has suddenly emerged in Shaoyang, first using Fushui to attract a group of believers, and then taking advantage of the drought and water shortage, to publicize the doctrine and attract the people to worship the door.

For a time, the people in the county were all given priority to believe in the Taiping Religion.

The county guard has always disliked the practices of the Taiping Sect, and thinks that they are all deceptive moves.

Now they are even more dissatisfied, and they even ordered in the mansion that no one in the mansion is allowed to worship the Qingyuan Sect in private.

Two days ago, the Taiping Sect released a rumor, the Qing Yuan Sect will set up an altar tomorrow, sacrifice and pray for rain, and Shaoyang County inside and outside the city will cheer.

The county guard didn't report any expectations, this natural celestial phenomenon, but manpower can change it?

But the rain has not fallen, and it is also a terrible headache, and the county guard has been so anxious that there has been a big bubble on his mouth recently. Even he, the old servant of the door, glanced at it from afar, and then looked.

Now, this little Taoist chief is going to come to the door to pray for rain again, isn't it unpleasant to come again?

It seems that this Shaoyang county guard doesn't have a good impression of the Taiping Sect.

That's what she wants.

He Lingjiang shook his head and said to the old servant seriously: "I'm not here to join in the fun, I'm here to relieve the worries of the county guard." ”

"You say, is your county guard very dissatisfied with the Taiping Sect's act of wantonly soliciting people's hearts?"

"And I happen to be able to help the county guard expose the painting skin of the Taiping Sect, and I can also solve the dilemma of the drought and water shortage in Shaoyang."

He Lingjiang took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it to the old servant, "I hope that the old man will pass on a message for me." ”

The county guard is dissatisfied with the Taiping Sect, and everyone in this mansion knows it.

But after such a long time, the county guard couldn't do anything about it, but instead asked the Taiping Sect to recruit a group of believers through the kung fu of applying water, inciting people's hearts, and there was a hidden tendency to resist the government.

This exposes the big words of the Taiping Sect, who wouldn't say it?

The old servant wanted to refuse, but he flipped the string of money in his hand, and then changed his words with a turn of his eyes: "Then I will pass on a word for you, but if the county guard sees you or not, it is not for me to decide." ”

He Lingjiang nodded slightly, and then took out a note and stuffed it to the old servant: "Bother the old man to pass this note to the county guard." ”

Not to mention whether this Shaoyang county guard really hates the Taiping Sect, or cares about the people.

As long as he remembers his official career and reads the contents of this paper, he will definitely summon himself.
