【140】Strange Spirits

"Xiao Ye. The human soul smiled, looked at Xiao Shizhu, who was sweating profusely, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and slowly spit out the four words in a trembling and hoarse voice: "Long time no see." ”。 Joy appeared on his face, diluting the tiredness of the wind and dust.

Xiao Shizhu didn't squeak, just waved his hand, signaled the turtle to step back, glanced at Lin Cong, and blurted out a greeting first, which was natural: "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, I'll ask someone to get it for you." ”。

It's not that he isn't excited, but he's just running out of words for a long time to reunite. Just a few words, the crooked hit made Lin Cong feel warm, and the corners of his eyes were already red inadvertently.

Xiao Shizhu saw that he was a little more excited, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll let someone make food for you, the fish lips here are very famous, they can only be eaten in summer, and today is just right, you have a mouthful." ”。 After finishing speaking, he turned around and opened the door, and said a few words to the turtle bus guarding the door, asking him to go and get some good wine and food.

"Why are you standing, you're not tired, sit!" Xiao Shizhu smiled, sat down at the square table placed next to the wall in the depths of the room, and asked again: "How are you doing?" But he was just as excited in his heart, except for Ying Zhao and Lu Wu Qinyuan, Lin Cong is now his best friend.

Although the two ghosts have not been together for a long time and have not met many times, Lin Cong's various behaviors have made Xiao Shizhu admire and respect him.

What's more, trust and righteousness!

"It's okay, Mo Zhai still trusts me now. Lin Cong calmed down, calmed down, sat opposite Xiao Shizhu, and showed a slightly bitter smile: "But it's not too trusting." ”。

"It's okay, there's no urgency for this kind of thing. Xiao Shizhu picked up the teapot, poured him a glass of water, and poured himself another cup: "Then you came this time, is there something wrong?"

As he spoke, he inadvertently raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Cong.

"Mo Zhai gave me two missions, the first is to steal some stainless steel weapons. The second is to eradicate the cold son of the Mo family, King Kong. Lin Cong took the teacup, and did not rush to drink tea, but blew the hot air in the cup, and said, "So I can come to see you in a bright and bright way." ”。

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu was stunned when he heard this: "What?".

After the panic flashed on his face, he hurriedly asked again: "Why did Mo Zhai eliminate him?" But he asked knowingly, and he had already guessed in his heart that it should be what the other party noticed after King Kong gave the fake umbrella to Mo Zhai as he said?

Mo Zhai suspected that he had betrayed the Mo family because he gave Mo Zhai a fake soul-thirsty umbrella. Lin Cong took a sip of tea, smashed his mouth, and said, "But he didn't believe me either, so he sent a bird slipper to follow." ”。 After a pause, he explained in detail how Mo Zhai explained to him, and how he eavesdropped on the conversation between Mo Zhai and Fowl Slippery.

After listening to him carefully, Xiao Shizhu fell into deep thought. The fowl slippery came to Shuoyue Island, and it was a great opportunity to eradicate Mo Zhai's wings. But the problem is that if this matter can't be done without leakage, otherwise it will hurt Lin Cong.

In public and private, he Xiao Shizhu didn't want to harm Lin Cong, but he didn't want to let go of this opportunity. So I couldn't help but gnaw my nails and think about countermeasures.

At this time, the turtle man walked in with the wine and food, opened the door. Put the things neatly on the table, and said, "Two slow use." After that, he withdrew with a smile.

"How does he contact Mo Zhai?" The moment the stone door closed again, Xiao Shizhu looked at the slowly closed stone door, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the figure of the ghost appeared in his mind, and at the same time he thought of a way.

But the key to this method is to cut off the connection between the bird slipper and Mo Zhai.

"Pigeon or goose. After pondering for a while, Lin Cong replied, "Shuoyue Island has no branch hall of the Mo family, so it can only be like this. ”。

"Well, that's easy. Xiao Shizhu beckoned and said, "Come here, I have a plan." ”。

Lin Cong didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly got up and bypassed the square table, stood beside Xiao Shizhu and leaned down. Xiao Shizhu muttered something in his ear.

After a while, before Fang stopped muttering, Xiao Shizhu showed a sly smile and asked, "How?"

Lin Cong recalled the words that Xiao Shizhu muttered in his ear, straightened up but still lowered his head slightly, and thought seriously for a long time before nodding and saying, "It's feasible." ”。

Xiao Shizhu smiled again, hurriedly asked him to sit down again, and said, "If you want to do it, make a full set, since you have entered this green building, find a girl to sleep for one night tonight, relax and relax." We'll start again tomorrow. ”。

"Well, okay. Lin Cong sat opposite him, poured wine for the two wine glasses on the table, and said, "Master Xiao, I have to go back after I'm busy here, and help you get the list of Leng Zi." Even if I can't get it, I have to keep an eye on Mo Zhai for you, and you have to promise me this. ”。

"Didn't you say it, if the plan is successful, you don't have to leave, it's too dangerous to go to Mo Zhai's side again. Xiao Shizhu's raised wine glass stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Lin Cong in amazement.

His plan is not only to eradicate the fowl slippery, but also to let Lin Cong "die" once, and then stay incognito and stay to help him.

"I can promise you anything, but I can't leave that. Lin Cong shook his head slightly, and said with an indifferent smile: "Although Mo Zhai is defeated now, he is still ambitious. Although he has no time to care for you now, he will continue to do you badly if he is out of breath. ”。

"Let him come, I'm not afraid. After Xiao Shizhu put a piece of fish lips into his plate, he put the chopsticks on his chopstick pillow, looked at Lin Cong, who was resolute, sighed lightly, and stomped his feet: "Let's talk about it another day, okay? ”。 After speaking, he raised his glass.

The south of Xiaoyu Mountain City, near the foot of the mountain.

A relatively secluded mountain road, there is an inn called Fuyunlou. Although the name is a little taller, the exterior and interior of the inn are not good. It is nothing more than a three-story small wooden building, with a hall on the first floor, and housing on the second and third floors.

The plaque at the door, the guise, has long been dilapidated. Even the walls are mottled a lot. The beams, the windows and doors are old, the grass grows at the head of the house, it is crooked, and there is a bit of the smell of a dangerous building.

It's not that the business is poor and there is no money, so there is no repair or reconstruction, but the shopkeeper is too lazy, or in other words, too picky.

The shopkeeper's surname is Zhang, who opened a big car shop when he was in the world a hundred years ago, and died at the hands of bandits. After that, I didn't do anything else, so I simply worked for two years, saved some money, and continued to open an inn.

And then during the Midyear Festival, Shopkeeper Zhang was going to be reincarnated in the capital, so he was not in the mood to get this shop again, let alone repair. The guy in the store was also dismissed by him, so he guarded the store alone, waiting for the arrival of reincarnation.

On this day, the shopkeeper Zhang finished his work in the store, put his arm on the table of the counter, and took a nap with his cheek.

Since Xiao Shizhu married the ghost mother, he took over the criminal department with cool officials and governed the country strictly; the security in the entire ghost mother country has been much better, and it is possible for almost every city and town to not close the door at night and not leave the road behind, including Xiaoyu Mountain City.

According to the punishment of stealing as many times as many companions as Xiao Shizhu and Wu Qiu Shou formulated together, and stealing a finger at a time, it has already made the thieves in Xiaoyu Mountain City tremble.

In order to avoid the fear of hatred after these thieves were severely punished, Xiao Shizhu also stipulated that after the thieves were caught, although the punishment remained unchanged, then the governors and counties of each town would arrange jobs for them. Such as building roads, building bridges, digging rivers and canals, etc.

If you want to say that you are used to being a thief, it is okay if you don't know how to do things, and the magistrate will personally arrange someone to train you. It not only invisibly solved the drawbacks of catching strong men, but also made all aspects of the country develop, and also gave the thieves a way to live, and also gave them the opportunity to reform themselves.

At the same time, all kinds of taxes were reduced or exempted, and agricultural and commercial taxes were determined according to the conditions and harvests of various localities, which reduced the burdens of the people in the past and virtually stifled some of the criminal motives in the cradle.

The combination of hegemony and benevolence is not the same.

Over time, not only have the original thieves been reformed, but even the people have lost the idea of being thieves, and the law and order are naturally much better.

Of course, the shopkeeper dared to open the door and take a nap.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly a fresh breeze blew from outside the door, and the shopkeeper Zhang shivered and woke up suddenly. He subconsciously raised his head and opened his eyes, and when he looked ahead, he was startled.

A dark-skinned, tall, but sturdy human soul had entered the store at some point, and was standing across from him, just a counter away.

"Scared me. An exclamation, after a closer look, the shopkeeper Zhang found that this person had small eyes and a big nose and a long pointed and slender face, and it was the guest officer who came to stay with a black cloth birdcage three days ago. claimed to be surnamed Zhang, saying that he came to Xiaoyu Mountain City to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

But no matter how Shopkeeper Zhang looks at this soul, he doesn't look like a literati and inkman, but a bit like a water bandit. However, after a few days of getting along, this ghost was polite and dispelled his vigilance.

"Oh, Master Zhang, it's you. After recognizing the ghost, the shopkeeper Zhang took a long breath: "Why didn't there be a sound when I came in?"

"It's you sleeping too soundly. The guest withdrew his gaze and looked at the shopkeeper, smiled indifferently, took out a tael of silver from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "I'm sorry for you to get something to eat." ”。

Then he walked to the corner of the hall, sat down next to the window, and looked at the mottled shadows drawn by the sunset through the window and scattered on the table, and was stunned.

"Strange spirits. Shopkeeper Zhang muttered quietly and shook his head.

[鯥 - there are fish in the mountain, inhabiting the slopes, shaped like a cow, with a long snake tail, wings on the flank, and a chirping like a yak. 】
