Go and come back

Mu Qing came because of the ghost girl, and now that the ghost girl's case is over, there is no reason to continue to stay, so he decides to leave tomorrow. But before that, he went to Hao's mansion and bid farewell to Hao Chongtian. Unfortunately, Hao Chongtian was not in the house, it was Hao Kuiwu who received him, after Mu Qing explained his intentions, Hao Kuiwu scoffed and mocked: "If you want to go, why do you need to resign, it's just to cheat some money." With that, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and threw them at Mu Qing's feet. Because of Hao Jiaen's injury, Hao Kuiwu had a grudge against Mu Qing and was angry, so he was so difficult.

Mu Qing was stunned, Chu Yi was even more angry, and was about to start scolding, but was stopped by Mu Qing, and Xu Hancai also persuaded on the side: "What is the benefit of arguing with such an unreasonable person?" Let's go. With that, the group of four left angrily.

After leaving the village and walking for about half an hour, Chu Yi was still angry, all Hao Kuiwu was not there along the way, and the other three were also uneasy, so they didn't enlighten Chu Yi, and she said it.

After walking about five or six miles, Mu Qing found that a carriage had fallen diagonally on the side of the road, the body was broken, and the horse was gone, and he vaguely saw a person lying in the car.

Mu Qing secretly screamed badly, and walked two steps quickly to meet him.

In the car was an old man, about 70 years old, with a little blood on his forehead, which had already turned black, and he thought that the car accident was last night. Mu Qing didn't know whether the old man was alive or dead, so he reached out to probe his breath, but he didn't want to be firmly grasped by him, Mu Qing was taken aback.

The old man smiled, "I'm not dead yet." With that, he got up slowly.

Mu Qing helped him out, sat down on the stone by the roadside, and fed him some water, the old man was very grateful.

The old man said that his name was Murong Yao, and he used to work in the Tai Hospital, but he was an imperial doctor, and now he has returned to his hometown. Passing by this place last night, because it was dark and the road was steep, the car accidentally fell, but fortunately he only had a slight bruise and was fine. Because there is no village in front of the village, there is no store behind it, so I spent a night in the car last night.

Xu Hancai asked, "Dare to ask where Lord Murong's hometown is?" ”

Murong Yao waved his hand and said, "I have already resigned, I am no longer an adult, if you respect the elderly, you can call me an old gentleman." After a pause, he continued: "The old man's hometown is in Lingnan?" ”

Xu Hancai looked puzzled and asked: "Lingnan is going thousands of miles, not in this direction, did the old gentleman go the wrong way?" ”

Murong Yao responded: "The old man has a righteous brother, who is nearby, and he hasn't seen him for many years, so he will turn around and take a look." ”

Xu Hancai said: "There is a village near here, called Wenma Village, are you going here?" ”

Murong Yao nodded and said, "Exactly"

Fang Liusheng said: "This is a coincidence, we just came out of there. Who are you going to? Let's talk about it, maybe we know each other. ”

Murong Yao said with a smile: "You must know each other, that righteous brother of mine is a first-class rich family in Wenma Village, surnamed Hao Qiushou. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and asked, "Are you talking about Hao Qiushou of Lanyue Villa?" ”

Murong Yao said: "Exactly"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Murong Yao noticed that everyone's expressions were different, and hurriedly asked.

Chu Yi squatted down and said with a sympathetic expression: "Old man, you have to be mentally prepared for what I say next." She told Murong Yao what she had seen and heard in a few words. When Murong Yao got this bad news, it was difficult to accept it for a while, so he was naturally grief-stricken, crying and grabbing the earth, and everyone couldn't persuade him.

After a quarter of an hour, Murong Yao's mood calmed down a little, and said, "I just let you laugh, the reason why the old man is sad is not only because of his righteous brother, but also because of a close relative. ”

Chu Yi asked, "Who?" ”

Murong Yao said: "It's the ghost mother in your mouth, she is the old man's niece Murong Chanyi." After that, he was sad again, and he began to cry bitterly.

Mu Qing persuaded: "Old Mr. Murong, now is not the time to be sad, I have something to ask." He took something out of his bosom, removed his handkerchief, and took out a white piece of porcelain, which he had found a few days ago in the Ebony River. He handed the porcelain piece over and said, "You are a skilled doctor, and you may know what this thing is." ”

Murong Yao took it and sniffed it and said, "I couldn't be more familiar with this fragrance. ”

Mu Qing was skeptical and asked, "Really?" ”

Murong Yao said: "How could I lie to you, this is called the Autumn Soul, which was created by me." ”

Mu Qing asked, "What is the Autumn Soul?" ”

Murong Yao said: "It is to use spring flowers, pick and dry until autumn, and then use them for medicine." Although the flower is dead, the soul is still there, this is the autumn soul. ”

Mu Qing was overjoyed and asked, "Is this thing hallucinating?" ”

Murong Yao glanced at Mu Qing and said, "It seems that you have drunk this thing, it was fed to you by Ziqi, right?" Mu Qing was puzzled, and Murong Yao continued: "The old man passed on the recipe of this autumn soul in the child period, if he didn't pass it on, only our uncle and nephew would be able to do it in this world." After a pause, he urged: "Hurry up and take me to see Ziji." ”

Mu Qing was a little embarrassed, so he had to tell the origin of the porcelain piece.

Murong Yao breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the porcelain piece that was still glowing with a faint fragrance, and said, "It seems that the child period is still alive." ”

Mu Qing asked: "I heard that Hao Ziqi went to the capital ten years ago, if there is no accident, he must be living in your house, right?" ”

Murong Yao nodded and said, "The two of us have been together for nine years, although we are not father and son, but we are like father and son, I have passed on all what I have learned in my life to him, including this autumn soul." The sub-stage medical skills are very good, the knowledge is higher, a year ago in the imperial examination, is the high school champion, was awarded from the six products of Dali Temple Sizhi. A year ago, he said goodbye to me and returned to his hometown, and since then, there has been no news. ”

Mu Qing asked: "I said personally, can you see if it's him?" He told Murong Yao about Ding Dushan's appearance.

"Seems to be." What Murong Yao said was a little ambiguous, not quite sure.

Mu Qing and his companion said, "It seems that we have to go back." ”

Xu Hancai nodded and said, "Yes, but what excuse do we have to go back?" ”

The four of them were in trouble for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and only a fast horse came, and the horse's hooves were very urgent, obviously chasing something.

Mu Qing glanced at Fang Liusheng, Fang Liusheng comprehended, and immediately hid Murong Yao in his carriage, telling him not to speak, and he blocked himself from the curtain.

As soon as Murong Yao was hidden, the person arrived, and it turned out to be Wu Desheng, the shopkeeper of Wenma Inn.

Wu Desheng was extremely happy when he met Mu Qing, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, held Mu Qing's hand and said, "I finally caught up with you." Mu Qing was puzzled, and Wu Desheng said: "Please go back." ”

"Don't go back" Chu Yi said with a displeased face: "Heavenly King Lao Tzu came to invite, but he didn't go back, who let that bastard insult us in every way." ”

Wu Desheng persuaded: "Because of this matter, our eldest young master is being punished in the mansion." The clerk also said that if I don't return to you, I don't have to go back. So please help me go back, okay? ”

Mu Qing was trying to go back, and now that someone has come to invite, it is really good, so he went back again according to Wu Desheng's request.

At this time, in the prison of the county government, the jailer who changed the guard was late, and he was holding a white-flour steamed bun in his hand, which was a gloomy breakfast, but only half of it had been eaten by the jailer. When the jailer saw that the cell boss was not there, he didn't take it seriously, but just took it as if it was convenient for him. He whistled leisurely to the cell door, inadvertently glanced at Yin, was frightened to pee, pulled his legs and ran, and reported to the official.

After Fang Ruhai heard this, he hurried to the prison, only glanced at it, and immediately collapsed to the ground. It turned out that there was still a shadow in this prison, only a white ape in clothes.

After Fang Ruhai woke up, he hurriedly summoned the cell boss for questioning, but the cell boss had long since disappeared, and someone saw the cell boss hurriedly packing his bags and running away last night.

Fang Ruhai was so angry that he ordered someone to arrest the cell leader, regardless of life or death.

The county government became a pot of porridge, but the people outside the county government didn't know about it, let alone Mu Qing. As soon as Mu Qing arrived in Wenma Village, he was invited to Hao's Mansion, and he left the three of his companions outside and went in alone. I was just about to go in, but I met someone at the door, this time it was not Hao Kuiwu, but Ding Dushan.

Mu Qing deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Let's meet Lord Ding, the priest of Dali Temple." ”

Mu Qing was so polite, which made Ding Dushan a little surprised, but Mu Qing's coming and returning made him even more surprised. Ding Dushan glanced at the carriage, and in a trance, he seemed to see a swaying shadow in the carriage, and at this time, Chu Yi, Xu Hancai, and Fang Liusheng were all outside.

Mu Qing said goodbye to Ding Dushan and entered Hao's mansion, but came out in a quarter of an hour. Chu Yi greeted him and asked, "What did you say?" Why did he call us all back? ”

"There's an annual peach fruit festival here tomorrow, and he urged us to stay and leave later." Mu Qing paused for a moment and asked, "What about people?" ”

Chu Yi responded: "It's still in the car." ”

Mu Qing approached the curtain and asked in a low voice, "Is the old gentleman okay?" ”

"No" Murong Yaoying's voice was small, but sonorous and powerful, obviously his emotions were a little excited, he said: "That person is not a child, no!" ”

"Since Ding Dushan is not the Hao Zi period, where will the real Hao Zi period be?" Mu Qing thought of someone, he turned his head to look at the high wall of Hao's mansion and fell into thoughts.

After Wu Desheng sent Mu Qing away, he turned back again, and when Hao Chongtian saw that his expression was different, he knew that he had something to say.

"Mu Qing brought back a person halfway through." Wu Desheng pointed his hand to the outside of the courtyard and said, "It's outside, in the carriage." ”

Hao Chongtian was taken aback and asked, "Can you see clearly?" ”

Wu Desheng responded: "On the way back, the sunlight passed through the curtain of the car window, printing a human figure, which is true. ”

Hao Chongtian asked, "Who is that person?" ”

Wu Desheng said: "I don't know, why don't you go out and arrest someone?" ”

"Absolutely not" Hao Chongtian categorically vetoed, and said: "At this time, we must not conflict with Mu Qing, he is still useful to us." However, it is important to find out as soon as possible, no matter what means are used. ”
