509.Happy Weekend
Wang Qilin and Xu Da rested in Zhending Mansion for two days, but Shen Yiyi and his party still hadn't arrived, so they decided to go to Luoba County first.
The reason why they rested in Zhending Mansion for two more days was because they were going to the banquet that Mao Yiqi prepared for them.
It was also through this act that he lent out some of the human-faced beasts in the strange beast team-
These strange creatures performed at the banquet, but they did not cause much sensation.
The officials of Zhending Mansion had already watched their performances, and this banquet was all engrossed and devoted to Wang Qilin and Xu Da.
Wang Qilin quietly went to talk to the strange beast that could talk, and this time he didn't find out any news.
The men, as if admonished, did not speak, but saluted him respectfully, and responded to him with a few words.
At this point, Wang Qilin understood that there must be something wrong with the strange beast team, and they were told before they came out.
So he also told Mao Yiqi: Watch this group of people, without his permission, no one is allowed to let go!
After two days of rest, he and Xu Da rushed to Luoba County.
Xie Toad was already waiting there.
The so-called retreat cultivation before was naturally fake, Wang Qilin couldn't believe Mao Yiqi a little, he suspected that this person was hiding something from him.
Two days ago, he wanted to go directly to Luoba County to inquire about the diversion of the Dawei River, but Mao Yiqi strongly invited them to stay and rest.
This makes sense, the case has been down for many years, and there is no hurry to inquire about it in one day or two.
Moreover, Wang Qilin and others came all the way from Xiangyang Mansion, and Mao Yiqi, as a subordinate official, must give them a good rest.
But Wang Qilin just wondered if he was going to delay himself and then go to Luoba County to deal with something.
So he directly used the method of retreat to shield Xie Toad separately and let him go to Luoba County.
Xu Da went to Deng Dazhi and asked, "Brother Dazhi, where is the mule? Uncle has to ride him on a trip today." ”
Deng Dazhi trembled his lips excitedly and said: "You must ride him! You take good care of your uncle, uncle, wait a minute, you will be dragged by your humble position immediately, no, bring it over!"
Xu Da patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've troubled you for the past two days." ”
Deng Dazhi raised his head and said loudly: "Uncle is polite, it is a privilege to be able to take care of the mount for you!"
Xu Da nodded with satisfaction and gave him a look, you kid is very good at doing things, and the uncle will not treat you badly.
Deng Dazhi read his eyes, and the joy of sending away the god mule and the joy of climbing the bronze captain and high-ranking officials came one after another, and the wind carried him to sway, his dreams were burning, his heart was worshipping, and he didn't have to linger......
Double happiness is coming today!
He dreamed back to 20 years ago, jumping back home like a child, and when he arrived at home, he saw his son sitting on the back of the mule and giggling, and the mule was also bouncing, and he could jump several feet, which was amazing!
"Worthy of a god mule. Deng Dazhi sighed.
Deng said happily: "Although this god mule is greedy, but it is really quite a top thing, Hu Yuanwai's cub brought people to bully your son, but the god mule jumped a few times in his mouth and scared him so much that he pulled his crotch, haha." ”
Deng Dazhi said: "The wicked have to be grinded by evil mules!"
Three joys are coming!
He took his son off the mule's back and went to find two large loaves of bread to tempt the mule to go out.
The child was reluctant to let the mule go, "Daddy, can you keep them?" ”
Deng Dazhi said: "Son, this is the mount of the great official? Dad's position is too low? I can't keep such a divine beast, so if you like it, you have to study hard in the future and gain fame and become a big official!"
He took the opportunity to teach his son another life lesson to move forward, good guy? Four joys are coming.
Two mules followed him out on the streets? On the street, there were people selling honey-pickled radish, persimmon cakes, and sweet date cakes.
Deng Dazhi did everything possible to hand over the two brothers to Xu Da, and said happily: "Uncle, you will live up to your mission and return your mounts to Zhao!"
Fat Wu nodded a little and said, "Listening to the heavenly prison is really a strong man?" It's good that a wrestler is so cultured. ”
Wang Qilin also smiled at Deng Dazhi and nodded, okay? Very energetic.
Three high-ranking officials praised three times? Deng Dazhi was suddenly overjoyed? He felt that a promotion and a salary increase were just around the corner.
Five joys are coming!
Xu Da took away the trick and returned the mixed drink to Deng Dazhi: "This magic mule still needs to be guarded by you temporarily." ”
Five joys were replaced by five fright, and Deng Dazhi subconsciously shouted: "Ah?
After calling him, he realized that something was wrong? The drama reached out to hug the mixed drink: "Great, can you take him back again?" Honestly? This divine mule is so sensible that he has become friends with the dog, and the dog was reluctant to part with him before. ”
"Then your son can hang out with him for a few days. Wang Qilin estimated that they would not be able to leave for ten days and half a month.
Tears welled up in the corners of Deng Dazhi's eyes: "Great, I'm so happy, I'm happy for the dog." But please excuse me for talking too much, do you three adults need mule carts and carriages? ”
He asked the three of them why they had only taken one mule with them.
Xu Daqi pointed to Fat May Day and said, "The Seventh Master will ride him to travel." ”
Deng Dazhi was petrified.
Ride......
Daytime riding?
The three of them traveled, in order to avoid disturbing the people, Wang Qilin did not let Fat Wuyi phantom in the city.
Deng Dazhi looked at the backs of the three of them, and walked back listlessly with mixed drinks, and mixed drinks gave him a look: Look, there are people there who sell delicious food.
It's a very lonely day, it's raining a little sadly, it's a very caring me, and some very precious coins.
Deng Dazhi felt distressed for his purse.
After leaving the city, Fat Wuyi turned into a tall and mighty young man, and then looked back at him with affection and said, "Seventh Master, come up quickly." ”
When Xu Da heard this, he hurriedly drank his saliva.
Thirst.
Once you've chosen your direction, you're on the move.
The journey of a hundred miles is only a little more than a stick of incense, and this speed is simply heaven and earth compared to ordinary horses.
Luoba County showed his figure, and Fat Wuyi turned back into a human form, and asked, "Seventh Master, how did I run this time?"
Wang Qilin said: "I ran so well, I feel like I'm riding the clouds." ”
"Isn't there a feeling of being fluttering?" asked Xu Da.
Wang Qilin nodded and said yes, and then Xu laughed: "Little rookie, it's really pitiful." ”
Fat Wuyi scratched his head and said, "What do you mean by Xu Ye?"
Wang Qilin said: "Don't worry about him, he sometimes has a bad head." ”
Ninety-six sat on the ground and stabilized his soul, and his dog soul was almost blown away just now.
After relieving itself, it sniffled and led the three of them to find Xie Toad.
Xie Toad set up a stall at the entrance of a street full of coffin shops and paper people and paper horse shops, and seized the opportunity to work part-time to generate income.
Wang Qilin looked in awe, the old Taoist priest had a working soul, and it turned out that he was also a worker.
Xu Da asked: "Daoye, aren't you here to inquire about the news, why did you start a fortune telling business here?"
Xie Toad Ji sang for the first time: "Unscrupulous Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun, the old Taoist travels here-see that your Yintang is black, Xu Ye, what have you been doing lately? Why is Yintang so black?"
Wang Qilin looked at Xu Da's forehead carefully, and found that compared to his ruddy complexion, Yintang's position was indeed a little bleak.
Xu Dahu looked at the old Taoist priest suspiciously and said, "Dao Master, we are our own people, and you can't make the uncle's money." ”
Xie Toad pinched his fingers, frowned and asked, "Lao Dao has been away from Zhending Mansion for the past two days, what have you done? Xu Ye, have you gone to prostitution again? Did you meet a prostitute when you were prostituting?"
Xu said angrily: "Don't slander people, you ask the seventh master, you ask the fat boy, the uncle has been honest and well-behaved in the past two days, and he hasn't even touched a woman's hand, how can he go to prostitution?"
Xie Toad looked at Wang Qilin, and Wang Qilin nodded solemnly.
Xu Da really didn't mess around, he just liked to talk about it.
Xie Toad frowned and stroked his beard for a while, and asked, "Then are you dancing with guns and sticks in private?"
Xu Da's eyes flickered: "What are you talking nonsense? slander, you are slander!"
Wang Qilin coaxed: "Xu Ye sues you for slander, don't slander Xu Ye." ”
Xie Toad glared at Xu Dao angrily: "Slut, Lao Dao is now going to solve the trouble for you." ”
Xu Da looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, the uncle doesn't ask for anything in his life." ”
Xie Toad asked, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, when did you act on your own?"
Xu Da said impatiently: "Master Dao, what are you going to do? What do you ask about this kind of thing, uncle, a fierce man, you also have to ask if you do some ancestral handicraft work yourself?
Wang Qilin glared at him and said, "What's wrong with him tasting it? Eating your family?
Xie Toad was stunned by this answer.
Wang Qilin hurriedly changed his words and said, "I mean, are you deaf? Dao Ye said that your Yin Tang is black, this is to find out the reason." ”
Xu Da said: "Uncle is not deaf, I heard this, but the Taoist master asked questions, how did the uncle feel that he wanted to see the excitement?"
Xie Toad was stunned and asked Wang Qilin: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, is the old Dao acting obviously?"
Wang Qilin closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
The team is not easy to bring.
Xu Da muttered: "Besides, Uncle now has Shangong Youfu, Yushan, Shanshan, two heroic souls, and a god golden bean and a set of magic weapon equipment, are you afraid that it will turn black?" Uncle is not afraid." ”
Xie Toad said: "Your Yintang is black with pink, I'm afraid it's a peach blossom robbery, I'm afraid I'm going to be entangled by a female ghost......
"And such a good thing?" Xu Da was pleasantly surprised.
Wang Qilin said: "Okay, okay, don't stand here and brag, let's find a place to talk carefully." By the way, why are you setting up a stall here, and you're short of money?"
Xie Toad said: "This is the Shenzhu Street in Luoba County, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and there are people and ghosts, so if you want to find out the strange things from many years ago, the news here is the most reliable and the most." ”
Wang Qilin looked at this street, and indeed saw a paper man shop, a coffin shop, and the like, but he didn't see any fortune tellers and feng shui master stalls.
Xie Toad stroked his beard and said: "Seventh Master doesn't need to look at it, the goods that set up the stall have been beaten away by Lao Dao." ”
"Twenty or thirty people, none of them have real materials, they are all bastards who swagger and deceive under the banner of my Dao ancestor, one counts as one, and Lao Dao has cleaned them all up. ”
Fat Wuyi asked, "You beat them away, how can you ask them about something?"
Xie Toad smiled and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, who told you that Lao Dao is going to ask these liars about something? Can you believe the words of the liars? Lao Dao is looking for people who know how to find out the news in this street. ”
Wang Qilin said: "You beat away those liars, are you giving eye medicine to people on both sides?"
Xie Toad nodded.
He led three people and a mule to a teahouse, found a private room, and told him the news that he had come to Luoba County to investigate.
First of all, Wang Qilin's suspicion of Mao Yiqi was correct, and when Mao Yiqi took them to dinner, he sent someone to Luoba County on a fast horse to deliver the letter.
The letter he sent was very simple, just one sentence: Listen to the Heavenly Prison to restart the Guanfeng Guard, and the head of the guard has come to the Zhending Mansion.
"Who do you guess this letter is for?" Xie Toad asked with a smile.
Wang Qilin's heart moved, and he said, "Yamen?"
Xie Toad looked at him in surprise.
Wang Qilin smiled bitterly and said: "What a simple thing, since you let me guess, then I can naturally guess." And I don't know anything about Luoba County, I only know that there is a Tingtian Prison Post Office and a yamen. ”
"Mao Yiqi's words to the post office to send a warning letter are natural, you won't let me guess, so since you let me guess, then I can only tell you the answer of a yamen. ”
Xie Toad stretched out his hand and patted the table and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the Seventh Master's analysis is correct, his news was sent to the county master." ”
Wang Qilin said: "It seems that the county master has a ghost." ”
Xie Toad nodded.
Xu Dameng stood up and said, "Not good!"
"What's wrong?"
"If Mao Yiqi has a problem, then Seventh Master, you still let him take care of the strange people and beasts? If the strange people and beasts have a problem, and they are in the same group as him, then don't you let the caretaker startle the snake?"
Wang Qilin said lightly: "There are so many people in such a big team, can they still disappear out of thin air? If that team runs away, it's better, Mao Yiqi can't run away, right? Just catch Mao Yiqi and start it!"
Fat Wuyi immediately said: "The seventh master is really clever. ”
He looked at Xu Da triumphantly again: "I used the idiom right this time, right?"
Xu Da said helplessly: "Is there anything to be proud of?"
Xie Toad asked, "What kind of strange people and beasts are you talking about?"
Wang Qilin explained his findings one by one, and Xie Toad's face began to change when he listened:
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the old way has traveled south and north for many years, and he has never encountered so many strange people and beasts. However, listening to the Seventh Master's statement, many of the things in it are related to the legendary beasts, and this team is indeed weird. ”
Wang Qilin said: "They are using this as a gimmick to solicit customers, but the humans and beasts in it are definitely not the legendary gods and spirit beasts, right?"
Xie Toad smiled: "Naturally not, it doesn't matter, otherwise even Lord Yama wouldn't be able to bring such a troupe." ”
Xu Da said: "Then they are related to the Xingtian Sacrifice, what's the matter, go back to them first?"
With the strength of Qing's feet, they will soon be able to return to Zhending Mansion.
Wang Qilin shook his head and said: "Don't worry, leave them some time, now that these people have realized that we are suspicious of them, then they will definitely deal with it, follow the vine and let the vine grow first, so that we can touch the big melon." ”
There are green houses, and they can't run away anyway.
That's the advantage of having a good mount.
Wang Qilin nodded to Xie Toad again and asked, "Dao Master, what news have you found here?"
Xie Toad put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "I really found out a lot of news, the ancient book township of Shen Yi's hometown was half destroyed by the diversion of the Great Reed River, and the village was directly swallowed up and downhill." ”
"Buried by a mudslide?" Wang Qilin asked.
Xie Toad shook his head: "The hillside where the uphill and downhill slopes are open, and the whole village falls into it!"
"The ancient book township is now gone, and it has been merged into the stone tablet township, and now the small seal is called Lei Chengzhi. ”
"And what is the name of Xiaoyin, the ancient book township at that time? His name is Gu Nannan, and he is a physiognomy teacher, who practices four-pillar numerology and plum blossom arithmetic. ”
Wang Qilin keenly found the problem and said: "Gu Nannan, the Xiangshi, Gong Anbang, the iron captain of the Zhending Mansion at that time, was also a Xiangshi, so the two would not have a relationship, right?"
Xie Toad drank the tea: "Gong Anbang is famous for his cultivation of the Four Pillars of Numerology. ”
The Four Pillars of Numerology comes from the ancient masterpiece "Zhou Yi", which introduces the heavenly stems and the five elements of yin and yang into the human body, and uses them to mark the information signs of various parts of the human body.
This is a rare way of practice.
Since Gu Nannan and Gong Anbang are in the same place and have both practiced this unpopular spell, whether the two have anything to do with each other, the answer is naturally self-evident.
"What else did you find?" asked Wang Qilin.
Xie Toad said: "The others are all miscellaneous things, the diversion of the Dawei River to swallow a village was not a big deal, there are not many people in the county who still remember this incident, to find out more news, we have to go to Shen Yi's hometown to take a look." ”
Wang Qilin nodded.
Xu Da asked, "Go now?"
Wang Qilin said: "No, we have already arrived in the county seat, and the county magistrate also knows that we are coming, so why don't we go and visit, how is it appropriate?"
Xu Da reminded him: "Seventh Master, scare the snake." ”
Wang Qilin smiled: "Yes, this can also lead the snake out of the hole." ”
Yamen is in the center of the county seat of Luoba County, the gate is open to the south, the door sits the unicorn beast, the grass and trees sprout, the green grass and red flowers, and the majesty reveals the spring mood.
This will be the time for the Yamen magistrate to mediate the contradictions and try the case, and there are people on the inside and outside of the county yagong hall who are watching.
There were too many people outside, Wang Qilin couldn't see what was going on in the court when he looked in on tiptoe, and heard someone shouting: "Look, look at it, my lord, there is a villain's document here, this is the villain's bag, and this is the villain's money!"
Xu was big, and when he stood behind the crowd and stood on tiptoe, he saw everything.
Wang Qilin was very distressed, and Fat Wuyi immediately asked, "Seventh Master, do you want to ride on me?"
The people in front of them turned around when they heard the voice, and some pouted: "What a lackey." ”
Fat Wuyi was not happy when he heard this, and said: "I am willing to be a lackey for the seventh master, what's the matter? What's your business? Why are you so lenient? Is it that someone walks in front of you with a dung bucket, and you have to taste the saltiness?"
The fierceness and reluctance he showed made the man who spoke very angry, but the fat Wuyi figure and Xu Da's figure made him have to hold this anger in his heart.
Wang Qilin said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble. ”
Fat May Day was suddenly aggrieved.
Wang Qilin said: "I'm talking about the old man in front, don't talk too much and make trouble." ”
Fat May Day immediately appeared lively again.
A loud and heavy voice shouted, "Woman, what do you have to say?"
Then the sound of a woman crying and crying rang out.
Wang Qilin didn't know what was going on inside, he was really anxious, he looked down at Jiuliu, and Jiuliu, who was about to shake his tail, was stunned, and hurriedly drilled into the crowd:
It will be used as a stepping stone!
