Wang Qilin withdrew from the yamen and said: "This matter may have something to do with us, the old lady of the Zhu family wanted to commit suicide by hitting the pillar before, but she was stopped by a strange light group, it is very likely that Zhang Zhen did it, so it seems that he knows magic." ”

Xu Dadao: "People are celebrities in front of the prefect, what's so strange about knowing spells?"

Wang Qilin was about to speak again, but Xu Da squeezed his eyes at him and said, "The Li family is not a good thing, and Li Ying is especially hateful, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Anyway, isn't it a good thing for us that he's going to be put in prison?"

"It's a good thing," Wang Qilin hesitated: "On the surface, it's a good thing, but after careful investigation, it's not necessarily a good thing, it's a bit weird." ”

It's about spells and officialdom, so it's related to listening to the heavenly prison, once something happens, he can't escape.

Xu Dadao: "Whatever, you're afraid that things will have something to do with us, right? Then let's leave Jixiang County for the time being, and let their yamen mess up on their own." ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Qilin immediately reacted: "Let's find a suitable reason to leave Jixiang County?"

"Yes!"

"Isn't it appropriate to go to Yongshui County to find Dou Dachun's whereabouts?"

"Of course it's appropriate, we have to find Dou Dachun, Yu Private This is the commission of the Dou family, Yu Gong wants to arrest Hou Decai, we have to rely on the connections and strength of the officials, and Dou Dachun is not here, the officials have no managers, so we will not move." ”

"What Lord Xu said is very true, and we also have to go to Xiaoshui Township to investigate the secrets of Qin Jin's robbery. ”

"We must investigate, Xiang Wei is already scared and about to hang himself, if he doesn't solve this matter, I'm afraid he will be scared to death." ”

The two of you say a word, and then look at each other:

It must be a special fate that makes us a raccoon dog.

It has been more than half a month since Dou Dachun lost news, and the Dou Mansion has become a mess, and there are more than 50 domestic servants sent out to find people.

Wang Qilin went to investigate the clues, Xu Da went to Xiaoshui Township to summon Xie Toad, they had to go to Yongshui County.

But there were no clues in Dou Fu, and the last letter Dou Dachun sent was twelve days ago, saying that he was all right, and even had the leisure to listen to Xiaoqu......

Xu Da, who rushed back with Xie Toad, saw the letter and said suspiciously: "Is he really looking for news of Zhou Zhongsheng to earn your favor?

Xie Toad flicked his sleeves and said, "What season is it, and it's still a spring outing?"

Wang Qilin helped explain: "The spring outing he said is a verb, not a noun. ”

Xu Da gave him a look: It's getting more and more tacit, Seventh Master, it seems that we are natural partners.

Wang Qilin gave him a look back: I haven't gotten more and more tacit, it's just that I now know how to understand your grandson's words.

Knowing that they were willing to go out to find Dou Dachun in person, Dou Yulai, the patriarch of the Dou family, was very happy, not only prepared a thousand miles of good horses for the three of them, but also prepared a coil for them: one hundred gold baht!

What does it mean to be wealthy?

That's it!

The proportion of gold is very important, and when Dou Mansion's housekeeper Dou walked out with a plate of gold baht during the New Year, Wang Qilin's eyes straightened.

The charm of gold is greater than that of women!

Women can only attract men, but gold can also attract women.

He was very moved, but he still refused with righteous words: "We are looking for Lord Dou for official business, and we must not accept your money." ”

Dou Yulai hugged his fists with emotion and said: "Dou once heard the dog introduce Lord Wang's righteousness and righteousness, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!"

led the horses, the three of them went on the official road and went straight to Yongshui County.

The two counties were next to each other, so the road was not too far, and they entered Yongshui County before sunset.

In order to find Dou Dachun, the Dou family made great efforts, they arranged for clever house slaves to come out to find it, hired merchants to inquire about the news, and used the connections in the Yamen of Yongshui County to open a big net in and out of the county.

The Dou family also set up a search command post, and the person in charge is called Dou Jinlai, who is Dou Dachun's second uncle and the person in charge of the Dou family's business in Yongshui County.

The three of them rushed to the command post, and there was already a big man with a similar face to Dou Yulai waiting for them: "I have seen three adults in Xia Jinlai, and the three of them have worked hard all the way, please drink saliva and rest." ”

The three of them dismounted, and immediately a heroic girl sent a water bladder.

Wang Qilin felt a little weird, the Dou family is a big businessman, and he should be very polite in receiving people and things, so why don't you use tea to entertain guests but use water bladders? This kind of rule is common in the rough grasslands and Mobei, but not in the Central Plains.

However, they were hot and thirsty all the way, and it was indeed more enjoyable to drink water with a water bladder.

In addition, he had a question: "How did Shopkeeper Dou know that we were coming?"

The three of them hurried all the way, and no one should have delivered the news in front of them.

As a result, Dou Jinlai pointed to the roof, and a peregrine falcon stood proudly on the roof and looked left and right, with a dumb posture.

Eight meows are the least able to see birds and beasts, and it comes out and stares at the peregrine falcon with bad intentions, ready to play with birds.

Wang Qilin stuffed it back and exclaimed: "It is worthy of the auspicious Dou clan, and it can actually tame the bird of prey into a messenger bird." ”

Dou Jinlai smiled and arched his hand, and said, "How can our Dou clan have such skills? This is the book heirloom harrier that my brother asked Huai Harrier Pavilion for a lot of money, and it was it that sent your letter. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Then did Lord Dou send the letter to his family from him?"

Dou Jinlai shook his head: "No, the book harrier only sends important and urgent news, and Da Chun's letter is for the guy who transports the grain to bring it back." ”

Wang Qilin drank water while thinking, but opened the stopper, raised his head and took a sip of water, but no water flowed out, and the water bladder was blocked.

"I'm sorry, Lord Wang, the gag should be broken. Dou Lancao hurriedly apologized and gave him another water bladder.

The water in the bag was cool and sweet, and he took one sip after another.

After Xu Da drank it, he praised the heroic girl: "The girl is sweet with a beautiful smile, and the water sent is also sweet." ”

Xie Toad disdainful: "Turtle, this is because people sent chilled honey water." ”

Dou Jinlai laughed, he pointed to the girl behind him and said, "This is my eldest daughter Lancao, Lancao, I haven't come up to see three adults." ”

Dou Lancao stepped forward to salute with her fists, she was long, handsome, with a cloak hanging on her shoulders, and the cloak was rustling between her gestures, and it was actually an iron piece inlaid on the door.

Dou Jinlai introduced: "My Dou family is in the rice and grain business, and often has to go out to transport grain, so I need the protection of the escort team, Lancao is the leader of the escort team in Yongshui County, she is used to sleeping in the open air, sleeping in the open air, and waiting for the day, and she usually wears thin armor, which makes the adults laugh." ”

Seeing this, Wang Qilin understood, no wonder people drink water with water bladders, it turned out to be a habit in the wild all year round.

Xu Da returned the salute with admiration, and said: "Dou Commander leads the women and does not let the eyebrows, who dares to laugh at them? If my daughter's family in the New Han Dynasty has such ambitions and skills, why worry about the uneven frontier and the unification of the four seas?"

These words made Dou Lancao feel refreshed, and a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "My lord is too famous." ”

Xu Dadao: "How can I just say what is in my heart, and you can see that Xu is a rough person, and he can only say what is in his heart......"

Wang Qilin pushed him aside, you can roll the calf, is this preparing to pick up girls?

He asked Dou Jinlai about the news of Dou Dachun, and Dou Jinlai sighed sadly: "Dachun has not come to me, and the family letters are all sent by him. But I sent someone to Yiwang Temple early to ask, and the villagers and the temple master said that they had not seen him. ”

Jixiang County and Yongshui County are located in the territory of Yunzhou Prefecture where there are few plains, there are many mountains, among which the topography of Jixiang County is better, mainly small hills, Yongshui County is different, Yunlong Mountain Range rises from its territory, all the way to the west, mighty and mighty, the mountains are numerous.

There are many ancient temples in the deep mountains, Yongshui County also has the most temples in Yunzhou Prefecture, there are ten of them that can be called names, so Yongshui County also has the reputation of ten temple cities.

Yiwang Temple is the smallest among the ten temples, in the deep mountains, since Dou Dachun is clearly going to Yiwang Temple, it means that Zhou Zhongsheng should be a monk and hide in this temple.
