To tell the truth, Xue Daoren has traveled south and north for many years, although most of the situation is just doing things and eating with food, but he has seen more evil things.

I've seen people who simply hit evil spirits, and I've also seen ghosts on their bodies, but it's the first time that Xue Daoren was frightened when he saw a person.

Guan Xinrui looked at the Taoist under the eaves steps, the yellow-gray coarse sermon robe was washed a little white, the gray-white square pattern of the broken hexagram was buckled outside the robe, dusting in one hand and compass in the other, just looking at this side in a daze, as if he was intimidated by his official authority.

Of course, it is also possible that they were frightened by the officials, after all, the two officials had already held each other's shoulders and grabbed each other's arms.

"Hey, don't be rude, let go of this Daoist."

"Uh, yes!"

The two officials hurriedly let go of their hands, and Xue Daoren also bit his tongue harder at the moment, the slight pain made him sober up, and then looked at the county order, it seemed that he had gotten a lot better.

The feeling of that face seemed to be gone, but Xue Daoren understood that it was not an illusion just now.

Fear!

Fear was already deeply rooted in Xue Dao's heart, just the moment of the glimpse just now, let him know that he had encountered something that he couldn't understand today, and then looked at the county order that seemed to be unabnormal at the moment, this kind of thought was even worse in his heart.

It's not something you can handle on your own!

Xue Daoren hurriedly bowed slightly, trying his best to maintain restraint, but in fact, the arm under the Dao robe still trembled slightly from time to time.

"If you have the Poor Dao Ritual Weapon in your hand, you can't salute."

Guan Xinrui bowed his head slightly, with a smile on his face.

"The Taoist chief was invited back by his wife, so he can walk around in my county office at will, but he can't go to the prison area, and he can't disturb the office of the officials in various places."

"Thank you Lord County, the poor road doesn't dare to disturb the adult, so retire first!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Guan Xinrui showed a very generous look, Xue Daoren wanted to retreat after thanking him, and the two officials beside him also saluted Guan Xinrui, and then hurriedly followed the Taoist who had left in front of him after the other party nodded.

When the three of them walked away, Guan Xinrui restrained his smile, shook his head and walked back to the study, just a man pretending to be a ghost.

Before arriving at the bookcase, Guan Xinrui looked at the documents on the table, and a smile appeared on his face again.

On the other side, although Xue Daoren was walking, his steps were not fast, and the two officials behind him even had to trot two steps from time to time to keep up.

After passing through the arch over there and walking the corridor for a while, Xue Daoren looked at the compass in his hand with his eyes, and gently wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

When I got here, I felt a lot better.

The first two officials also followed at this moment.

"You are a person, that is, the adults of our family have a big belly, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around!"

"Yes, you're in luck!"

When Xue Daoren turned around, his face had already changed an expression, and he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, the two poor masters are right, thanks to the adults who don't care, they didn't listen to the good words of the two and almost made a big mistake!"

Saying this, the faces of the two officials also improved.

"That's like a human saying!"

"Ask the two poor masters, what are the big cases recently?"

"What are you asking for?"

"Oh, Poor Dao has always admired public figures very much, and today I see that the county lord and several of them are all very personable, so I want to hear more about your demeanor in handling cases."

If you want to eat your own bowl of rice, being able to speak is a basic condition, and it is very important to be hard, but even if you don't have any ability, as long as you have a good mouth, you can eat enough, which Xue Daoren understands very well.

I was in a hurry to find it just now, but now that Xue Daoren's entry point has changed, he naturally talks to people more.

It can be said that so far, the only thing that makes Xue Daoren feel problematic in the entire county government is the county magistrate Guan Xinrui.

Based on Xue Daoren's own inference, it is not impossible that it is possible to cause some unjust cases, and to attract retribution from arousing resentment, but he knows that similar inquiries are manifestations of self-deception.

The feeling just now is indescribable.

Xue Daoren may have heard of Long Wei but didn't really face it, so naturally he didn't know, not to mention that what he felt just now was also a simple Long Wei.

As soon as noon arrived, Xue Daoren went to the dining hall with the servants, and was entertained here for lunch.

The meal was meat and vegetarian and there was a bowl of soup, Xue Daoren kept recalling the feeling of the whole county just now, and he didn't know the taste of food, but the movements in his hands did not stop, forcing himself to eat.

In the end, there was a bowl of soup left, and Xue Daoren looked at the soup with oil beads reflecting his face, and suddenly his heart moved, and he took out a small handful of copper coins and scattered them on the table.

"Bang la la"

The copper coins were scattered, Xue Daoren looked puzzled, and then his mind turned around, he took out one of the copper coins, replaced it with a Hongxing Tongbao, and then put away the copper coins and threw them on the table.

"Bang la la"

The copper coins fell on the table again, Xue Daoren's face changed slightly, a trace of panic rose in his eyes, and he hurriedly picked up all the copper coins and drank the whole bowl of soup in one go.

After lunch, around noon, Xue Daoren was taken to the garden in the backyard of the official residence, and walked along the corridor, where the county magistrate's wife and maid Qiao'er were waiting.

The two women sat and stood one by one, looking at the Taoist walking over there, and the other seemed to be still thinking about things while walking.

"Alas, Daoist Xue, you've been in the yamen all morning, and I heard that you almost collided with the master, did you find out anything?"

Qiao'er asked a question first, which also made Xue Daoren, who had already walked closer, come back to his senses, he looked at the official who was following beside him, and then looked forward, the maid looked at him angrily, and Mrs. Guan had a little expectation on her face.

Xue Daoren frowned slightly, and shook his head after thinking about it in his heart.

"Alas, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I searched in the house for a long time, and I didn't find anything filthy, my wife is blessed, and my adult is even more outstanding, maybe it's because of the poor road."

"Hmph, my wife is fine, it's you Taoist priest who is making a big fuss!"

Qiao'er said a word, and Xue Daoren also gave his hand to apologize.

"Miss Qiao'er has taught her a lesson. In the future, the poor road must be cautious in his words and deeds, and he is very ashamed today, and I hope that Mrs. will forgive her sins! ”

Xue Daoren confessed, not only because of the feeling when he saw the county order before, but also because of the hexagram when he had just eaten.

When manpower is poor, self-knowledge is a valuable quality, Xue Daoren convinced himself in his heart.

And Xue Daoren probably knew that Mrs. Guan shouldn't blame herself too much.

Sure enough, when Xue Daoren said this, Liu only frowned, but still spoke.

"Since it's fine, the Taoist doesn't have to mind."

"Thank you Madame for your generosity, if there is nothing to do, the poor road will leave."

Xue Daoren saluted, then turned to leave, only to take a few steps but was stopped again.

"Wait a minute!"

Liu stood up, and Xue Daoren had to turn around.

"Is there anything else ma'am?"

Liu handed Qiao'er a silver ingot.

"The Taoist chief has been busy in the county government all morning, although he couldn't find anything, but he also reassured the concubine's body, and he can't ask the Taoist to be busy in vain, this is a little heart, and I hope the Taoist chief will accept it!"

Qiao'er took the silver and walked in front of Xue Daoren, but when he handed the silver out, Xue Daoren was reluctant to stretch out his hand, causing the former to glare at the Taoist.

"What, too little?"

"Well, of course not. It's just that I don't dare to accept it."

"Hmph, if you give it to you, you can take it, if you want more!"

Qiao'er said, seeing that the Taoist's two hands were clasped in front of him, he directly threw the silver into the yellow bag that the other party was carrying at his side, and then walked back.

Xue Daoren looked up at Liu, and could only salute again.

"Thank you, ma'am."

With just a glance, Xue Daoren knew that it was one or two pieces of silver, which was not too much for a wealthy family, but it was a lot for ordinary people.

"Let's send the Taoist chief out of the house."

"Yes!"

Xue Daoren put away the salute, left with the servants, walked more than a dozen steps and looked back at the corridor, Liu sat on the fence and laughed with the maid Qiao'er.

"Alas"

With a sigh, Xue Daoren's footsteps stopped.

"Alas, Dao Chief, let's go!" "Something dropped?"

The two officials looked at the Taoist beside them, only to see the latter turn around and walk back quickly, while the two officials hurriedly followed.

Of course, Liu and Qiao'er over there also saw the Daoist return, and soon, Xue Daoren returned to the two women.

Before a few people could ask, Xue Daoren took out a small stack of talismans from the cloth bag he was carrying.

"Mrs. Guan, these talismans are carefully refined by the poor Dao, and they have been made everywhere with me, and they have received many offerings and blessings along with the magic weapons, which are by no means comparable to ordinary things."

As he spoke, Xue Daoren took out another cloth bag, stuffed half of the talisman into the bag, grabbed half of the talisman in his hand, and handed it to Liu together.

"Mrs. Guan, this bag is carried with you, except when you are bathing, these talismans are attached to the bed, doors and windows, and the most critical point!"

Xue Daoren approached Liu.

"Please also ask Madame to go back to her parents' house for a while!"

Liu looked at Xue Daoren in a daze, and at this time, Qiao'er came over to block in front of him.

"You are so rude, stay away!"

Xue Daoren took a few steps back, and the official was beside him, so it was inconvenient to say more, so he could only bow again.

"Mrs. Guan, if it is inconvenient to go back to your parents' house, you must also bring this bag, and also, do not have sex in the near future, remember to remember! Tolerate poverty and find a way again! ”

Liu Shi held the talisman paper and the cloth bag in his hand and looked at the Taoist who went back and returned to tell him seriously, and then the other party turned around and left again, and his steps were still very fast.

"This guy, what a weirdo"

Qiao'er said this, looked at the charm in Madame's hand, and subconsciously added.

"But it seems to be quite solemn, madam, we just came back from our parents' house, so we won't go back again."

Liu shook his head and looked down at the thing in his hand.

On the other side, Xue Daoren's steps became faster and faster, and when he arrived outside the county office, he said hello to the official and left quickly, until he left the county government for a while, and he was slightly relieved when he stood at the intersection of the street.

At this time, Xue Daocai realized that he had always had a feeling of depression in the county government just now.

No matter what, Xue Daoren has already made up his mind at this moment, he has to find a way to fight and see what is going on!

As if to cheer himself up, Xue Daoren muttered to himself.

"Those of my generation who have learned the Tao can not retreat easily!"

After muttering to himself, Xue Daoren walked away quickly, he had to make some preparations.

And under the eaves of a shop at the corner of the street, a white-haired old man sat there, fanning the wind with a puff fan.

"Hey, it's a bit responsible, but sir, he seems to have confused something, right?"

The old man smiled.

"It'll be clear later."

With Xue Daoren's first sense, he really confused the content of Liu's nightmare with the feeling of seeing Guan Xinrui.
