Chapter 2: The Eye of the Sky
In the days that followed, when the catchers returned to the yamen, they would first go to tease the baby, bring some snacks and cheese from the street, and everyone treated him as a baby, like their own children. The baby's laughter also added some vitality to the solemn and cold yamen, and even the county magistrate, who always had a straight face, smiled slightly when he saw the baby.
A few months later, the baby can already waddle and walk, Zhao Zengxin came back from the street with two more strings of sugar gourds in his hand, the baby babbled after seeing it, Zhao Zengxin handed it to the baby, and the baby took a small bite.
may be too sour, the baby's immature little face has been distorted into a "embarrassed" word, babbling to Zhao Zengxin, which means that you are too bad to dare to pit this baby!
"Hahahaha!" The baby's performance amused everyone, Zhao Zengxin almost laughed out of tears, the nurse came over to pick up the baby, and scolded a group of catchers: "Why are you so bad, you bully people at such a young age!"
At this time, the county magistrate walked in and beckoned the crowd to hurry to the council chamber.
"The imperial court sent a secret report that a caravan from Dongying will arrive in Dongsheng Shenzhou East Bay tomorrow, and go to Chang'an through our Jianye City. The county commander was in his forties, and his expression of not being angry and arrogant obviously hesitated when he mentioned the word "Dongying", and continued: "The imperial court means that we will greet the caravan and escort it to the Jiangnan field, and the government of Chang'an will take over from us. โ
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, Zhao Zengxin looked indifferent, said that he understood, and left the conference hall with his brothers.
As a head catcher, although he is disgusted with Dongying, who let you eat this bowl of rice from the imperial court, and besides, it is his duty to obey orders, so he can only bow his head and agree.
"Brother Xin, go and pick up these grandsons, the brothers are in a hurry!"
Someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, these guys who eat inside and out, why didn't the monster overturn the boat for him at sea?
Zhao Zengxin's face was expressionless, and he said: "Tomorrow, gather at the exit of the east of the city and set off for East Bay." Scattered, scattered!"
Recently, there have been various news coming, a large number of demons have appeared in the country of Dongsheng Shenzhou, crazy sucking human blood, the local orthodox daughter village sent a master failed to subdue the demon, and finally the Chang'an Datang government sent troops to drive the demon away; in the suburbs of Changshou in Xiniu Hezhou, there was a caravan that suffered heavy casualties in a ghost attack, and the chief disciple of Fang Cunshan in the Lingtai of Changshou Village personally went out to subdue the demon; a kind of demon called the painting soul appeared outside the Datang of Nanzhan Buzhou, it is said that this demon takes the beauty picture as the appearance, specifically demagogues young men, and takes advantage of the other party's inattention to suck its essence blood, and at present, the overseas orthodox sect Tianji City is making every effort to kill this demonใ
Blood rain falls from the sky in Xiong'an City, Luzhou, Beiju, and all ordinary people who are contaminated with this rain will slowly wither their bodies, and they will die of anger and become a skeleton in a few days. King Tang was furious and sent Lingyan Pavilion's number one general, Changsun Wuji, to personally go to the shock and kill.
"At present, it seems that only Jianye City is relatively stable!" Zhao Zengxin habitually unscrewed the gourd, put it to his mouth and didn't drink it, and was suddenly stunned.
"What a coincidence, Zhao Zhutou!"
These words, like a heavenly sound, made Zhao Zengxin quickly tighten the plug of the gourd and don't return it to his waist: "Hello, Miss Yiping!"
The two chatted while walking, and when they heard that the unclaimed baby that day was still in the yamen, Wang Yiping immediately bought some snacks and went to the yamen with Zhao Zengxin.
The two walked on the road, and the vendors who usually ignored Zhao Zengxin became very active today: "Zhao Zhutou, are you busy?"
"Yo, isn't this Zhao Zhutou? long time no see!"
Zhao Zengxin understood that these people just wanted to show their faces in front of the daughter of the Wang family, and he smiled.
A summer rain in the early morning still leaves a wet mist, making the air exceptionally fresh today. The undried rain and dew in the bluestone alley are crystal clear, like a mirror, and Zhao Zengxin can see the flower-like eyebrows beside him when he looks down.
"How great it would be if we could go on like this!" Zhao Zengxin couldn't help but fall into reverie again......
But was immediately interrupted by Wang Yiping, Miss Wang seemed to be more curious about demons and monsters, and Zhao Zengxin naturally knew everything about all kinds of questions along the way. Soon, the yamen arrived.
Seeing the baby for the first time, Wang Yiping was slightly stunned, and the baby also stopped laughing, and looked at Wang Yiping! Zhao Zengxin is very strange, Wang Yiping should be the baby's first person in Jianye City, could it be that she is regarded as his mother?
Afterwards, Wang Yiping and the baby burst into laughter!
"This, what's the situation?!" Zhao Zengxin looked at Wang Yiping with inquiring eyes, expressing puzzlement.
Wang Yiping picked up the baby, kissed the baby's little face twice, and said excitedly: "I didn't look carefully at the bridge last time, this little guy is actually the same kind as me!"
"Huh?" Zhao Zengxin and the nurse's eyes widened at the same time, what do you mean? Aren't you the same kind as us? Don't you mean that we are not human?!
Wang Yiping knew that she was reckless, and explained carefully, saying that this baby's eyes were born with the same natural eyes as herself, so the two of them would feel each other!
Tianyan, known as the strongest auxiliary skill in the Three Realms, is said to have cultivated Tianyan to the extreme, so that he can gain insight into people's thoughts, even if he doesn't practice like Wang Yiping, he can also see some things that ordinary people can't see, such as the monster who stole the baby at the bottom of the bridge. If you fight, you can even see through the moves before the opponent makes a move and make an accurate response plan, which is also the root cause of Wang Yiping never bringing a guard on the street, and the few monks in Jianye City can't hurt her at all. Even if you encounter some little demons, you still have the capital to save your life.
"It's amazing, your fortune is not shallow!" Zhao Zengxin sincerely expressed his admiration, just in terms of the function that this fight can take a step forward, it is almost comparable to the Datang Mansion led by Cheng Yanjin, because the Datang Mansion has a sect skill called preemptive strike, which is a similar function!
The county magistrate went out to step on the lunch time and returned, and when he saw the eldest lady of the Wang family coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately arranged a feast, saying that it was to thank her father, Boss Wang, for his strong support for the Yamen's poverty alleviation work last time.
During the meal, Wang Yiping was unusually affectionate to Xiao Budian, and the county magistrate smiled and nodded to Zhao Zengxin, in fact, he was slandering: You are stunned, you know how much shit luck you have to go to get in order to form this incense with the richest man in Jianye! Lao Tzu has been an official in Jianye for more than 20 years, and he has not patrolled for a year compared to you, it is really more popular than people!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the county order simply didn't want to, raised his glass and said:
"Miss Wang's presence really makes the yamen shine, Zhao gives you a cup!"
"Thank you, Lord Zhao!"
Zhao Zengxin was bored and only cared about eating vegetables, which provoked the county order to blame: "My head catcher, Miss Wang is the first time to come to our yamen as a guest, don't you want to show how many drinks you have with others?!"
