Changqing County

The sun reflects the water, a courtyard, a large field, spring is coming, a group of ducks come back from the river, and the people who come from it pass by.

A young man who was chasing the duck saw it, but when he saw Cai Xin, he quickly stopped and saluted Cai Xin: "Miss, are you back?"

Cai Xin looked at it from afar, smiled slightly, and said: "Master, since you gave one thousand taels, we have purchased sixty acres, and the original seventeen acres are connected, and the total is seventy-seven acres, but it can also make food and clothing fall." ”

"This is a family of six in the old uncle's family, the old uncle's family has a son, and the husband and wife have two sons, the younger one is named Zhang Shi, who is only fourteen years old, and he is in charge of the ducks. ”

Seventy-seven acres, for a family, is indeed enough food and clothing, but to rest easy, but it is far from enough, Wang Cunye waved his hand: "This time the gold is 100 taels, the silver is 1,000 taels, and the top 30 silk horses are brought back. ”

Seeing that Cai Xin was a little hesitant, Wang Cunye smiled faintly: "You are my registered disciple, this bit of silver is nothing, you can give more, but you don't have a younger brother, your mother has 300 acres, it's about the same, and I'm afraid it will be a lot more trouble." ”

Cai Xin is a very smart person, knowing that Wang Cunye said well, at this time, it seems that the soft light of the sunset is shining on his body, faintly forming a deep atmosphere, and the golden light in it is faintly discerning, thinking of this, he sighed and said: "Yes, Master Xie!"

At this time, seeing that Mrs. Cai had already greeted her, Cai Xin hurriedly went up and saluted: "Mother!"

Mrs. Cai looked her daughter up and down. My heart is both relieved and desolate.

Looking at the reunion of mother and daughter in front of them, Wang Cunye and Lu Lan'er just watched silently from a distance, and did not plan to disturb at this time.

The imperial capital, a yamen

The spring breeze rises, blowing a river of clear water, the microwave ripples in the moat of the imperial capital, pedestrians come and go walking on the ten-zhang wide bluestone road, and many horse-drawn carriages step on. Carrying goods and guests, they are busy for their livelihoods, but they all subconsciously leave the stone lion for a distance.

A carriage arrived at the door. The coachman lifted the curtain with a respectful expression, looked at the Qiulin Taoist who closed his eyes inside, and reminded in a loud voice: "My lord." It's already here. ”

Qiulin Daoren got out of the carriage, stood in front of the lion in front of the door, "um", Xu Bu went up the steps, this mansion is both spacious and grand, covering an area of fifteen acres, it was originally given to the official's mansion, and then he left his post and was vacant.

Now that it has been repaired, it has become a joint yamen of the Jingzhi Governor's Mansion and the Criminal Department. It is the Provisional Institutions Group proposed by Wang Cunye.

Although the Jingzhi Prefecture has the right to enforce the law and arrest, it does not have the right to make a final trial and convict, which is a trade-off for the higher-ups, so if it is urgent, it will be handled jointly.

Qiulin Daoren entered. At a glance, I saw a hall inside, which has now been transformed into a place to do business, and there are dozens of people inside, smoky, noisy, and most of them have official uniforms.

According to the rules of the ancient imperial court. In fact, the specific errand personnel are basically not high-level, and they are not in the stream at a glance, but there are also a few first-class officials, Qiulin Daoist glanced at it, and then bypassed to the corridor, and after a while, he listened to the movement in the house.

At this time, a catcher was speaking: "The main roads of the imperial capital have been transferred, and some changes are being collected and processed, and those who have a summary will report to you." ”

"This matter must not be mistaken, the summary documents must be collected quickly, but the personnel must be kept secret, and don't add people at will if it's too late, so as not to leak the news...... a voice sneered again: "...... It's not that you, you and I believe it, but you also have to control your subordinates, I won't be soft on killing!"

After a while, seeing everyone going out, Qiulin Dao only entered, and saw an official inside, but it was about forty, but it was a stone waiter from the Criminal Department, but it was a four-grade person.

"Lord Shi, what clues do you have about the investigation of this evil god of the outer Dao?" said to Shi Shilang with a smile from the Qiulin Daoist.

"Thousands of spies have been dispatched, but the time is still coming, but there are no clues. When Shi Shilang heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

The two entered the small hall inside, someone hurriedly served tea, and the Qiulin Taoist looked for a chair and sat down, looking at the tea quietly and silently.

"I don't know if the real person of Fuguo has any clues?" Shi Shilang frowned, remembering that the real person of Fuguo suddenly asked.

Qiulin Daoguan chuckled, and his eyes sank.

"It's really good to have a good sense of proportion in the real people of Fuguo, and now they have taken the painting boat down, and they should have left the imperial capital, but they didn't go far, only to Changqing County. ”

This is what it means not to interfere in politics, the corner of Qiulin Daoguan's mouth was chuckling, and his eyes looked at the southwest direction through the wind chimes, which was exactly where Qingyun Temple was.

Qingyunguan is located in the southwest of the imperial capital, is the stronghold of the Taoist monarch to spread the Kunlun Taoist vein in the imperial capital, and the secular line is separated, and the secular emperor is in charge of the people, but can not control these Taoists.

Not only that, these Taoists also have considerable authority, whenever there are some things, these Taoist priests will always intervene, not only to annoy these officials, but even to the ears of the Son of Heaven, causing the Son of Heaven to dislike, just concerned about the Daojun Dao lineage, did not have a seizure for a while.

Don't look at Wang Cunye as a hand-picked real person, presiding over this matter, but if he really wants to interfere in everything, not only the Criminal Department and the Jingzhi Mansion will be disgusted, even the Son of Heaven will be unhappy.

"Went to Changqing County? Listening to the words of the Qiulin Daoist, Shi Shilang Shi Shilang sighed and smiled: "Speaking of this, I think of those Taoists in Qingyunguan, it is really difficult to look at them directly. ”

If the Taoist is pure, he can still be patient, but the Taoist priests of Qingyunguan have to interfere in some things, although the times are different, for these Taoists, they can't be driven away, and they can't be used strongly, which really makes the bureaucracy disgusted.

"Yes, if you don't interfere in the affairs of the court, you won't lose your heavenly favors, and you won't disgust the officials in vain!" said the Qiulin Daoist: "But because of this, our responsibility is heavy, and the emperor will not think that the real person is wrong, and the responsibility is on us." ”

Although he is a Taoist priest, he is completely different from a Taoist priest of the Taoist lineage.

"That's right, but I believe that even if we don't rely on the power of real people, we can find out the clues!" The stone squire smiled coldly, showing off some of the majesty that he had cultivated over a long period of time.

At this time, the night was dark, curling like smoke, and a young man was receiving a Taoist priest, and he stepped forward and bowed: "This Taoist chief, you must be a long void?"

As he spoke, he looked at it, and saw that he had long and empty hair in a high bun, and he was only about thirty years old, and he said solemnly: "Dao Chief, I heard that I am good at wind appreciation, can you take a look at it for me?"

Changxu calmly shook his head, sat down in his robe, and said, "Childe is a noble celebrity, why should I say more?"

The boy smiled: "The gentleman asks whether the murderer asks the good or not, the Taoist just says." ”

"The trail is presumptuous!" Changxu said, stood up, looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment and said: "The face of the son is noble, and he has the joy of entering the office recently. ”

"But your pavilion is dark, there is a trace of evil spirit, I don't know if there is a matter of killing concubines in the house? This matter is a big hindrance to Yin Gong, so I cut my life, I am afraid that in the future, I will not even be able to reach the five grades. ”

The muscles on this son's face twitched, the year before last, his concubine served tea too hot, and he was in a bad mood at the time, so he was beaten, and he didn't want this woman to be weak, and he was heavy-minded, worried and scared and died.

There was a faint regret in my heart about this matter, and at this time, I couldn't help but regret for a while, and sighed and said: "I didn't mean to ...... this."

This Changxu glanced at this person and said, "Although the son is not intentional, it is also a human life, how can there be no punishment?"

Childe was silent after hearing this, silently lost himself, and said after a while: "Is there a remedy?"

Changxu's eyes lit up, flashed away, and said: "There is always a remedy in the sky, and manpower is not good, so I will borrow a magic rune from you, and you go back to offer it, maybe there will be a turnaround!"

After saying that, he got up, picked up the pen on the table, drew a rune, and handed it to the childe: "This is the rune of An Shi Dazun, go back and offer your own miracle." ”

Gongzi took it carefully with both hands, took out ten taels of silver and offered it, and said, "Some incense is not a respect, and there will be a consultation office in the future!"

After a pause, he asked a little puzzled: "This god name is a little unfamiliar?"

Changxu took the silver and smiled: "This is an ancient god, it has not been passed down for a long time, but the mercy mana in it is true, and a little offering will have a miracle!"

After saying that, he got up and resigned, and the son sent it to the door, and ordered a small servant to send it away.

But just after this person was far away, the boy sneered, his expression became solemn, stared blankly into the distance, and sighed for a long time: "These have been memorized, right?"

"Young master, I've memorized everything!" someone responded: "I've been remembering it for half an hour, and I haven't missed a word." ”

"Come in, show me the record!" Childe commanded, took a sip of tea, and saw a man come in and put the paper up.

Childe smiled and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

As he spoke, he took the paper and reviewed it, and couldn't help but praise secretly when he saw the words: "This distant cousin, don't say anything else, this word alone is dignified and dignified, and it is forgetful at first sight, but unfortunately like me, it is not up to the number of fate, and it cannot be developed, if there is a chance in the future, it will be promoted!"

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard this person asking, "Childe, is this ...... I'm afraid that now this is better to kill the wrong person than let it go...... There are more than a dozen people in this temple, is there any Yin Virtue hurt?"

Gongzi was stunned, his heart suddenly disgusted, the pity just now immediately disappeared, and he replied: "No, how can you and I have a chance? Don't forget, my He family sold another grange this year, if it goes on like this, it won't be able to hold on for a few years, and it's a matter of urgency!"

Saying that, he got up and patted his shoulder: "I was qualified to join the office, but I didn't have much money to spend, but I never got on the line, as long as I survived this hurdle and got the opportunity, then everything is easy to say, and then I will spend time to make up for it." ”

"Besides, looking at this name, looking at what this has done, I'm afraid it won't be wronged. Speaking of this, Childe just smiled and didn't say anything. (To be continued)
