Chapter Fifty-Eight: Walking to the Heart
Outside the yamen, everyone's expressions were different, but most of them still showed regret.
"Chen Zhutou, you are a good catcher! The people of Qingxi County have never blamed you! ”
"The three generations of the Chen family are all good men! Our folks in Qingxi County all remember that today's incident is that his mother's father is not long-sighted! ”
"It's not just that God doesn't have long eyes, he doesn't even have an asshole!"
The group of people pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and scolded at the vast sky, but the face of Master He Zhang in the lobby was very ugly, blue for a while, purple for a while.
The father and son of the Ma family were a little panicked when they saw Qiao Xinyan being taken away.
"Lord He's kindness, I will repay it in the future."
Ma Dexi didn't have time to salute, so he hurriedly asked people to untie his son and chased him out.
Master Li stared at the backs of the father and son, and said in a deep voice: "Master, why should we wade into this troubled water, now that we have offended the general Zhao Xuanjiang from Jinggi, our life will not be easy." ”
"You think I want to?"
He Zhang sighed, "There were actually two letters last night, one was an official document from Zhen Xuansi, and the other was ...... It's about my promotion, if I don't do what those adults say, I won't even have to sit in the position of the magistrate of Qingxi County! ”
Master Li understood, and hurriedly slapped He Zhang's back, "Master, you dissipate your anger, this matter will be over." ”
"Let's get it done! Damn it, all die! I just want to be promoted as soon as possible and transferred back to Kyoto! ”
He Zhang was a little angry, muttered in a low voice, and walked to the back of the lobby.
……
When Chen Ning and the others came out of the yamen, they were blocked and couldn't get out.
But as soon as Zhao Mingyue tied Qiao Xinyan and appeared, everyone was scattered and did not dare to step forward again.
"Lord Zhao, wait!"
Ma Dexi gasped and caught up, shouting: "You must also have evidence to arrest people, you can't just ...... like this"
"Ben will arrest people, no evidence!"
Zhao Mingyue snorted coldly, and her fierce eyes frightened Ma Dexi and shrunk his neck.
"Lord Zhao doesn't have to scare my family."
Qiao Xinyan said lightly, "You don't have to worry about me, there is also a time limit for Zhen Xuansi to arrest people, and I can go back after twenty-four hours at most." You take Ma Yusheng home and wait. ”
"Yes, Childe."
After hearing this, Ma Dexi felt like he had taken a reassuring pill, and hurriedly nodded and retreated.
"Chen Ning, follow me back to Zhenxuansi first."
Zhao Mingyue said hello, and without waiting for Chen Ning and the two to respond, she took the lead in walking out of the crowd.
……
……
Zhen Xuansi, the scorching sun is the head.
"Go in, stay honest!"
Zhao Mingyue casually pushed Qiao Xinyan into a room, stretched out her hand to pinch the trick, and laid out the formation.
"You should know that my 'drawing the ground as a prison' formation effect, if you dare to use a trace of cultivation, I will think that you are the mastermind behind the serial bloody case, and I will cut you directly!"
"Lord Zhao, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
Qiao Xinyan casually touched the unnecessary dust on the table, "That bloody case has nothing to do with me, just look at it." ”
Zhao Mingyue glanced at him coldly, didn't make a sound, just closed the door.
She then walked back into the living room.
"Lord Zhao is back, drink tea and drink tea, herbal tea specially prepared for you."
Uncle Liu was carrying a teapot and was pouring tea for Chen Ning and the others, and when he saw Zhao Mingyue coming in, he poured another cup with the teapot.
"Uncle Liu, there is a prisoner in the backyard, just remember to put the food at the door every day, and don't worry about anything else."
Zhao Mingyue said a word to Uncle Liu before sitting down and drinking tea angrily.
She really can't bear to be angry in the court!
"What kind of big people are protecting this Ma family, and Zhen Xuansi can still write to help them?"
Ma Changsi was quite unconvinced, "Lord Zhao, you also send a letter to Kyoto, you must be Ma Yusheng's muddy egg good-looking!" ”
"It's useless."
Zhao Mingyue shook her head slightly, "Zhenxuansi is not like before, it is Lord Si Zheng who has the final say, and many things are ...... Master Si Zheng couldn't do what he said. ”
"Don't talk about that."
She frowned, as if she thought of something bad, and raised her head and asked, "You two really don't do it?" ”
"It's still fake! If you don't do it, you won't do it! What you have is courage! ”
Ma Changsi patted his chest and turned his head to look at Chen Ning, "Brother Ning, you say something." ”
"Not anymore."
Chen Ning shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Although we don't do fast arrests, as friends, we can still help Lord Zhao investigate the case."
I've actually been thinking that only Qiao Xinyan can be the mastermind behind the control of the ghost in this Qingxi Town, and if you count the days, tonight is the day when the ghost will appear.
As long as Lord Zhao is optimistic about Qiao Xinyan, will he be able to prevent that ghost from coming out again to cause trouble in the town. ”
"There is some truth ......"
Zhao Mingyue frowned and thought, "That's it, I'll look at Qiao Xinyan tonight, you two go to the street to take a look, and if there is a situation, notify me at any time." ”
"We?"
Ma Changsi scratched his head, "Lord Zhao is afraid that he has forgotten, Brother Ning and I are no longer fast catchers, and if we don't catch fast waist cards, we will have to check if we are seen." ”
"Don't be afraid!"
Zhao Mingyue smiled proudly: "Don't forget, this girl is a dignified seven-rank town general!" I'm allowed to have ten Zhen Xuan Guards under my command, and you two will be Zhen Xuan Wei of this girl for the time being. ”
The difference between Zhen Xuanjiang and Zhen Xuanwei is equivalent to catching heads and catching fast.
It's just that Zhen Xuanwei is generally a side door and a wild cultivator, with no background forces, and his cultivation is also very average. And most of the Zhen Xuan generals are famous children, and they are not geniuses and glamorous people.
"And this good thing?"
Ma Changsi raised his eyebrows, "If you can really enter the Zhenxuan Division, who will go to the broken yamen!" ”
What is the status of the Zhenxuan Division, and what is the status of the local yamen?
There is no comparison between the two at all!
Even if it's just a town guard, it's much better than being the head catcher in Qingxi County!
"I'll print you two official documents so that no one can check you!"
Zhao Mingyue got up to find a pen and paper as she spoke, and Ma Changsi hurriedly handed over the booklet and pen.
Zhao Mingyue's paper fell into the clouds, and after a few strokes were written, he picked up the token on his waist and dipped it in ink.
"It happened suddenly, and the conditions are limited, so let's do it first!"
Zhao Mingyue handed the two official documents to Ma Changsi, but found that Chen Ning was bored and didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't speak.
"Chen Ning, what do you want? Want to be so fascinated? ”
Hearing Zhao Mingyue's call, Chen Ning slowly raised his head and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of thinking about the bloody case." ”
He got up and took the official document, "Lord Zhao, I'll go to the backyard to see my father-in-law, and I'll go home to rest and prepare for the night's action later." ”
"Okay, you guys go first."
Zhao Mingyue waved her hand and stared at Chen Ning's back, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.
……
Chen Ning and Ma Changsi came to the backyard and looked around.
It has only been a few days, and Lord Xiang's courtyard seems to have changed the world, full of vitality, full of lush flowers and plants, flowers and butterflies flying, and cicadas chirping.
Passing birds like to land in the yard and hide in the shadows in the corners.
"In the room of the father-in-law, there is a strong ...... of life"
Chen Ning couldn't see it before, but after practicing the Shepherd Sutra, he could notice the difference in the house.
He could clearly feel the rich vitality coming to his face, and there was a gentle feeling of spring flowers blooming and facing the sea.
At the same time, the flesh Tai Sui in his body suddenly began to stir, as if he wanted to poke his head out to absorb the vitality here.
But Chen Ning silently ran the Shepherd Sutra and forcibly silenced it.
This is also a small discovery made by Chen Ning after practicing the Shepherd Sutra, he can actually rely on the Shepherd Sutra to control the qi to appease the meat Tai Sui.
"What life?"
Ma Changsi scratched his head and looked at the house blankly.
"It's okay, let's go."
Chen Ning stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Father-in-law, I'm Chen Ning." ”
"Master, I've come to see you!"
Ma Changsi also shouted loudly.
"Ahem, Xiao Ning and Xiao Si are here? Come in. ”
Xiang Beige's weak cough was heard in the room, and the two of them pushed the door in.
What caught his eye was the thin body of Xiang Sorrow, who was still skinny and gray, even in such a vibrant room.
Those who are dying have no way to return to the light.
Chen Ning and Ma Changsi were stunned for a moment at the same time, both of them understood what Xiang Beige was about to usher in, but they both chose to remain silent at the same time and not talk about this topic.
"You two are here, is there something wrong?"
Xiang Beige looked at Chen Ning and said with a smile: "Xiao Ning is very hard-working, and he has already embarked on the path of cultivation, I am very pleased." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Ma Changsi again, smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Si, you have to work hard, this qi practice is not very good." ”
"Got it, Master."
Ma Changsi scratched his head, "Actually, we didn't have anything to do here, we just wanted to see your old man." ”
"It's good to look at it, look at one side, and one side less."
Xiang Beige smiled and looked out the window, "I don't have much time to spend with you." ”
Ma Changsi's smiling face disappeared, and he lowered his head in silence.
And Chen Ning has never laughed since he walked into this courtyard, even if he forced out a smile.
"Father-in-law, you can rest well, we will see you, come back another day."
Chen Ning patted Ma Changsi on the shoulder and turned to leave.
"You clearly have something on your mind to ask me, why don't you speak?"
Xiang Beige looked at his back, the smile on his face did not change, "Xiao Ning, you are good everywhere, just a little, my father-in-law wants to remind you." You are too sensible, you have been very sensible since you were a child, you know how to be humble and humble, you know how to be courteous, righteous and honest, and you know how loyalty and filial piety come first...... But if you are too sensible, you will be very tired.
Sometimes, life is just a moment of chic and comfortable in the world, how can there be so much care? You're too old, not as old as anyone your age, and thinks more than your stepfather. ”
Chen Ning's body trembled suddenly, clenched his fists, and slowly turned his head sideways.
"Father-in-law, I do have a question for you."
"A person has come to a fork in the road of life, one side is a magnificent but hidden official road, and the other is a sheep intestine road that can't see his fingers and doesn't know what the future is, which one should he choose? Which way to go? ”
The corners of Xiang Beige's mouth rose, he smiled happily, and looked out the window at the sun.
"Many years ago, I also asked my master the same question, and my master said that it doesn't matter, it's really not good, just go through both roads and go to him once!"
He paused, "Actually, when you asked this question, you already had the will to choose the sheep intestine path in your heart, but you didn't have the courage to do it." Back then, it was the master who gave me the courage to take a different step. ”
Xiang Beige's eyes sighed with emotion, and he lowered his head, "Although I failed, it's not that I chose the wrong one, nor that the master said it wrong, but that there are too many thorns on the road, and I Xiang Beige didn't make it to the end." ”
"Xiao Ning, don't ask which path to choose in the future, since you think either path is wrong, then you can choose none of them!"
Xiang Beige raised his head again, and there was a scorching light in his eyes.
He raised his hand and pointed to his chest, "Go to the heart." ”
"Why do you have to follow the path left for you by your predecessors? Although there is no road in the direction you want to take, you can be a pioneer of this road and set out a way!
There is no road in this world, but there are some places where there are more people walking, and it becomes a road. ”
Chen Ning's body trembled suddenly, and his clenched fists slowly loosened.
Walking towards the center, walking out of a broad road is bound to be a broad road.
