193. Avoid the limelight and check the case (Wan more ask for subscription)
Wang Qilin returned to the post house and heard Heidou talking in the gatehouse:
“...... The elder brother who fell into the dung pit told them to pull him up, but they refused to do it, saying that he had been beaten so badly that he could not move. At last the brother in the dunghole got angry and scolded them, and the brother above scolded him. ”
Later, there were more and more onlookers, and the brothers had no face to leave and wanted to leave, and one brother was going to pull dung. But Brother Dung got angry, so he dragged him down, and then they fought in the dung pit. ”
Wang Qiaoniang, Uncle Jin and others were all in the gatehouse, Wang Qilin followed and laughed after listening, and said, "Could it be that this is a dung bucket?"
He didn't expect the news of the four sons in the house being beaten to reach the post house so quickly, but thinking about it, ordinary people in this era have no leisure way to pass the time at night, and can only rely on gossip and rumors to get a little spiritual pleasure.
Therefore, when there is big news such as the son of Fucheng falling into the dung pit, they will naturally pass it on as soon as possible.
But Black Bean wasn't gossiping, he really went to see the scene.
Uncle Jin was well-informed, and when he learned that the prince of Fucheng was beaten, he immediately took black beans to see the excitement.
Wang Qilin turned his head to see that his father and other sisters were not there, and was very surprised: "What about my father?
Wang Qiaoniang said: "No, Daddy, they went to the Tongfu Inn to help, and Lord Dou arranged for them all to go in, and one person gave twenty silver baht a month." ”
This is an outrageously high salary, the monthly salary of Youxing and Lux is only twenty silver baht, the helper of an ordinary hotel can give two silver baht a month, and the restaurant is even worse, some are just in charge of the meal, and some people are willing to do it.
Wang Qilin frowned and said, "Such a high salary, don't my father and mother know what this means?"
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Black Bean ran away.
As long as the adults are angry, he will not stay at the scene, which is what he realized from the storyteller's words: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Wang Qiaoniang explained in a panic: "Daddy knows, they said that this is Lord Dou bribing you, so I don't want to go, but Lord Dou said that it is not a bribe for you, he said that the inn has your 10% of the shares, let Daddy and Niang go over to help, in fact, to help you watch the inn, so give this money." ”
Wang Qilin couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Okay, tell my father and mother, it's okay to go and watch, but twenty silver baht is not good, ten silver baht." ”
Xu Da pushed him away and said: "Seventh master, you don't understand people's hearts, eldest sister, you ask your father and mother to ask for twenty silver baht, and then each person takes out ten silver baht every month, and gets together to set up a porridge shop at the intersection to provide a porridge and herbal tea for travelers from the south to the north." ”
These things are trivial matters, and Wang Qilin didn't deliberately care about them.
When he returned to the house, the water splashed in the water urn, and the feng shui fish stared at him with their bare heads exposed, very aggrieved.
It fluttered hard, staring at him hard.
Wang Qilin was helpless, walked over and said: "Okay, I saw you, what are you tossing? You just want to show your sense of existence? You little hoof, fortunately it's a fish, if you are a girl, it won't be troublesome? It's just a drama spirit." ”
Feng Shui Fish slapped the water in his face, Wang Qilin sniffed it and said, ", it stinks." ”
Only then did he remember that he hadn't changed the water for a while for a feng shui fish.
Xie Toad told him not to change the water for the feng shui fish, but to dig a small pond in the post house and let it stay in the pond.
Wang Qilin felt that this was a good move, so he told Xu Da to dig a pond tomorrow to divert water and plant lotus roots.
Xu Da was unhappy: "What does this have to do with me?"
Wang Qilin gave him an ambiguous look and said: "Think about it, when our post house has a pond and lotus leaves, get a small boat and let Mu Xi dance on it, isn't it exciting?"
Xu Da scratched his butt and laughed.
Mu Xi usually chatted and talked about her dancing in Qingqiu Mansion, and what she was best at was water dancing.
With the motivation, things are easy to do, and early in the morning he wields his hoe and starts working in the yard of the post house.
Wang Qilin got up to practice knives and saw his father Wang Liuwu looking at him in a daze at the Moon Gate.
Seeing this, he put down the knife and wiped his sweat and asked, "Dad, is there something wrong?"
He remembered what he had told his eldest sister last night, and said, "Oh, are you here to work at the Tongfu Inn?"
Wang Liuwu didn't answer, he said with some hesitation: "Xiao Qi, you are very different from before. ”
Wang Qilin said with a smile: "Environment and time will change a person, who will always be the same as before? But no matter how I change, I am your son." ”
Wang Liuwu also grinned, and he said: "Oh, I came to you to tell you, now I am looking for our family to propose marriage, and many people in the county want to give you their daughters." ”
Wang Qilin didn't ask, he shook his head and said: "Dad, don't worry about my marriage, let's find a good in-law for my sisters first, my relatives are in charge of the old man, he has already found a good daughter-in-law for me, and someone has told me about this." ”
Wang Liuwu asked worriedly, "Is the old man looking for you someone?"
Wang Qilin laughed and said, "Dad, what are you thinking?"
Wang Liuwu sighed and said, "You deal with demons and monsters all day long, and your mother and I are always a little worried. Especially when it comes to your marriage, I always have a dream recently, I dreamed that you were married, and when I lifted my daughter-in-law's hijab, I saw that there was a fox below. ”
"Otherwise, it's a dream that you have a child, and you bring it to me and your mother, and you see that you are holding a little fox. ”
Wang Qilin smiled: "Your son just got involved with the fox?"
There was ambiguity in this statement, and he added: "Just because your son wants to kill demons, you think he is going to marry a monster?"
Wang Liuwu sighed again and said, "Xiao Qi, not only did I have such a dream, but your mother also had such a dream!"
Wang Qilin patted him on the shoulder and said: "I think about it day and night, you and my mother think about me every day to deal with demons and monsters, and you will definitely have such dreams." ”
Wang Liuwu shook his head and left, he looked at his father's back and didn't move for a while.
What he said just now was for him to comfort his father, and his father and mother had the same dream at the same time, what kind of sign is this......
He thought of the fox fairy who was in Qingqiu Mansion at the beginning......
Today, he stayed in the post house to check the case files sent by the townships under his jurisdiction, which described the strange things that happened from the county seat to the village, and there were five description points of background, causes, process, conclusion, and handling results, which were very detailed.
He shook his head while watching, in his opinion, many tricks were full of suspicions, and it was too rough and simple to listen to the Heavenly Supervisor's case, that is, to find demons and monsters to kill demons and monsters, no matter why they appeared or what they had hidden secrets.
But this is also a matter of no problem, I heard that there are capable people in the heavenly prison, these people are all good hands, let them use their brains.
He was reviewing the dossier when Uncle Jin came to the door and asked, "Seventh Master, excuse me." ”
Wang Qilin said: "Uncle Jin is polite, is there anything wrong?"
Uncle Jin said: "The Jiang family in the county sent a housekeeper and Honggu to look for you, I guess she came to propose marriage to you." ”
Honggu is the first matchmaker in Jixiang County, and she is also a cultivator, and it is said that she has something to do with Hongximen, who specializes in the affairs of men and women.
She has a lot of legendary stories inside and outside the county, and it is said that the husband and wife who have been promoted by her can be together for a hundred years and grow old together, so large families like to let her go to the family to find matchmakers for their children.
The Jiang family is powerful in Jixiang County, and Wang Qilin has to say hello no matter whether he wants to accept people's kindness or not.
So he went to the parlor, and when he entered, he saw a thin old man and a woman with a blessed face chatting softly.
The old man was ordinary, with a thin face, a thin figure, and a goatee under his chin.
The image of women is more interesting, Wang Qilin has seen many times on the earth in his dreams, and every time she sees it, she happily holds some fat dolls, and then shouts: Red Cross Fu Doll.
The two were very polite, and as soon as Wang Qilin appeared, he scrambled to stand up and greet him.
Wang Qilin listened to it, the Jiang family proposed to the second daughter Jiang Yan'er this time, and Honggu said sincerely: "Lord Wang, the beauty and talent of the second sister of the Jiang family are well-known in and out of the city, and the adults can inquire at will, and the slave family has nothing to say." ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, don't worry, the second lady of my family has always been known as the first auspicious jade. Of course, there are some false rumors about the second miss in the outside world, saying that she has a bad temper, but I dare to assure you that these are just rumors, and it is the good deeds who arrange my young lady. Steward Jiang also said.
Wang Qilin smiled faintly and said: "I naturally know this, I can trust the two of you, the Jiang family has a big business, and I am really flattered to be able to take a fancy to me, a country boy." ”
Hearing this, Steward Jiang smiled bitterly, he was a smart person, and he had already heard the meaning of his words.
"But," Wang Qilin began to change the conversation, "I don't know, there are four sisters above me who have not been married, according to the tradition of my hometown, the eldest relatives have not been married, and my younger one cannot be married, so I can only refuse Jiang's kindness." Honest and fearful, but the blessing is shallow. ”
Honggu subconsciously asked: "Isn't Lord Wang's hometown our Jixiang County?
Wang Qilin said: "There are many rules in my hometown village, and the two of you also know that the smaller the local affairs, the more things will happen. ”
The two of them talked about him again, and Honggu even brought Jiang Yan'er's portrait, and after she opened the portrait, a beautiful woman appeared in front of him with a shy look.
Goose egg face, willow eyebrows, hibiscus like face, ice muscles and jade bones, if Jiang Yaner really has such a beauty in the portrait, Wang Qilin really has to say that she is the first pretty girl in Jixiang County.
Among them, the qualification of 'girl' is very important, otherwise she will not be the first to be pretty.
Seeing his iron-hearted excuse, Steward Jiang had no choice but to turn his attention to Honggu for help.
Honggu carried a thimble in her hand, and she habitually turned the thimble, and a faint red line loomed on it.
Wang Qilin looked at the thimble, and Honggu smiled unnaturally after noticing his gaze, and put her hand into her sleeve.
Seeing this, he guessed that it was rumored that Honggu was the old man of Jixiang County, and the men and women she matched could always come together in the end, I was afraid that it was related to her Taoism.
This thimble is most likely a magic weapon.
She saw that Wang Qilin was difficult to deal with just now, and subconsciously took out a magic weapon and prepared to cast a spell to complete this marriage.
This is naturally not possible, so Wang Qilin smiled meaningfully and said, "Today's saints are quite dissatisfied with the Taoist forces of the people. ”
Honggu smiled freely: "The saint is the Son of Heaven, and his words and deeds have their own deep meanings, and we grass people dare not speculate on it." ”
But Wang Qilin's warning worked, Honggu didn't do much entanglement, she whispered a few words to Steward Jiang, Steward Jiang smiled and nodded, and the two got up and left the gift to leave.
The Jiang family is really big, and the gifts sent are two large boxes, which are picked up by the porter.
Seeing off the two, Wang Qilin did not continue to stay in the mansion, he said to Xu Da: "Let's go, go and handle a case." ”
Xu Da was sweating profusely, and the wood under the shade of the tree hurriedly handed over a roll of towels soaked in cold water, he wiped it gently and carefully, and asked Wang Qilin softly: "What case has happened again? Why is this one after another?"
Wang Qilin pulled up his sleeves and scratched his arms violently.
Mu Xi asked with concern: "Seventh Master, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "No, I didn't know what was going on just now, and I suddenly had prickly heat on my body and my hair stood up." ”
Xu Dayi clenched his fists and made a rattling sound, Mu Xi subconsciously looked over, and he replied with a tender smile from the iron man.
The sun is in the sky, the weather is hot, and the sun can produce a layer of oil on people's skin.
Xu Da asked, "Do you have to go here?" ”
Mu Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "The seventh master is not afraid of the heat, you see that he is still wearing an official uniform." ”
Wang Qilin touched the yin and yang fish jade pendant on his chest, very proud.
Xu Da said: "The seventh master has a weak kidney, and he is afraid of cold and heat. ”
Mu Xi glanced at him shyly, took the towel and ran.
Wang Qilin said angrily: "You orchestrate me again?"
Xu Da was also angry: "Uncle never arranges people, now the whole county knows that the new Dayin kidney deficiency is new, and I just came to the county a few days ago to buy two trips to the thirty-six flavor emperor pills, one trip to buy more than a dozen, eat the emperor pills as a meal, and the kidney deficiency is almost gone!"
Wang Qilin was stunned: "Really?"
He hurriedly asked Uncle Jin, and Uncle Jin grinned: "Seventh master, kidney deficiency is nothing, nine out of ten masters are weak, I am also weak, it's okay." ”
Wang Qilin stood at the door, the hot summer wind was blowing, and he only felt chills all over his body.
Bad words hurt people and June cold.
What a terrible thing people say.
Xu Da and Xie Toad came out, and the old Taoist priest also wondered: "My lord, why do we have to go to the case on the big day?"
Wang Qilin explained: "I don't want to handle the case, I want to avoid the yamen, last night the son of the governor fell into the pit, the news spread quickly, today the governor will definitely know the news, and then he will find someone to listen to the heavenly prison to deal with this matter." ”
"His son-in-law fell into the pit, why do you still want to find the heavenly eunuch?"
"Stupid," Xu Da disdained, "The sons have master guards around them, but the master guards were beaten by two fists and prolapsed, there must be ghosts in this matter, the county government naturally can't solve it, who can we find if you don't look for us when the time comes?"
Wang Qilin nodded: "Yes." ”
The case they are going to handle this time is an old case, not very dangerous, but very weird:
There is a person named Gou Or in the county town who has had bad luck this year recently, and he fell and bumped his nose. People are unlucky to drink cold water and plug their teeth, he drinks cold water and bites his tongue and lips......
When he went out on a sunny day, but the rain was pouring down, he hurried to run home, and the faster he ran, the heavier the rain became, and when he got home, the rain stopped......
When I went shopping, I encountered two groups of people fighting, and then both groups of people treated him as each other's people, and beat him up together, and beat him very badly......
He wanted to know how long he was going to be unlucky, so he went to the temple with his friend to ask for a sign, and his friend bought the temple blessing, and put all the signs in the lot, and then it was his turn to draw lots, he shook too hard, and the stickers fell to the ground and were broken......
After listening to the introduction, Xu Dale said: "Hey, he was entangled by the unlucky ghost and the broom star, right?
Wang Qilin said: "Why didn't you look for it? I found a monk to exorcise evil spirits, but I found a fake monk, and I played with a talisman instead of chanting the scriptures, and a talisman was lit and his house was burned!"
At this moment, even Xie Toad was stunned: "It's not that he was entangled by an unlucky ghost, he is possessed by a moldy god." ”
Xu Dadao: "If you want me to say that this thing is a bit evil, let's better not go to the door and take the initiative to provoke him, it is very likely that we will be unlucky." ”
Wang Qilin shook his head and didn't speak, he didn't think that he could solve this matter, he just went to open his eyes.
This man lived in an alley in the outer city, and once worked as a waitman in the government.
But after he was unlucky, once he patrolled the streets at night, he would encounter lonely ghosts, this thing is not harmful, but it is scary, and who knows when he will encounter a big ghost or something?
There were no people on the streets on a hot day, and they got lost in the alleys for a while, so they had to face each other.
Xie *** Lake is an experienced man, and he said in a low voice: "Someone followed us for a while. ”
Wang Qilin nodded quietly, and the three of them walked to a three-way intersection and dispersed, and sure enough, a young man sneakily followed.
The three of them appeared at the same time, blocking the young man in the middle.
Human Meat Burger Formation.
The young man was startled, grinned when he saw them appear, and took off a water bladder and handed it to them.
Xu Dayi slapped the water bladder away, and said with a tiger face: "You are very bold, you dare to give us water mixed with ecstasy in broad daylight?
The young man looked at him in confusion and scratched his head, then gestured with his hands.
Wang Qilin was stunned: "Deaf and mute?"
Xu Da sneered: "It must be pretended, I have seen a lot of this kind of trick." ”
The alley is surrounded by a two-story building, and someone saw this scene in the window on the second floor, so he hurriedly walked down and said: "The three masters misunderstood, Xiao Mang is not a bad person, on the contrary, he is a good person, he must have seen that you were sweating profusely, and specially brought water from home for you to drink." ”
While talking about this man, he made a simple gesture, and the young man grinned, stretched out his hand and made a quick gesture.
Xie Toad understands sign language, and after looking at it twice, he nodded and said, "Lord Wang, his sign language is fine, he may really be deaf and mute." ”
The man who came out smiled and said, "He is indeed deaf and mute, you can inquire if you don't believe him." That's simpler, you can ask everywhere, this little man is really deaf and mute, and he is a good guy, no one in our old wolf's den alley doesn't say he's good. ”
Xu Da was embarrassed, he returned the water bladder to the guy and hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry, brother, the uncle spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I misunderstood you, and please Haihan." But this brother is too enthusiastic, isn't he? He chased after us, and I thought he was a petty thief. ”
The man smiled: "Our old wolf's den alley is messy and easy to get lost, Xiao Mang often comes out to help people lead the way, he is familiar with this place, but he can't speak and can't understand people's words, it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings, and please forgive me." ”
Wang Qilin thanked Xiao Mang with his hand, and then explained his intentions.
After listening to his words, the man said happily: "You want to find the unlucky guy, then you have found the right person, let Xiao Mang take you there." ”
He gestured twice at Xiao Mang, Xiao Mang grinned and showed a bright smile, beckoned to them and walked briskly forward.
Wang Qilin was surprised.
The young man can't hear with his ears and can't speak, this kind of person should have a difficult life, his life should be full of despair, but why does he act so relaxed?
It's kind of quirky.
