Cao Qing seems to be a big man, he also has a desk in the carriage, and there is a pot of wine on the table, and after Wang Qilin got in the car, he poured a glass and pushed it over.

Wang Qilin didn't shirk it, picked up the cup and tilted his head down.

A line of fire burned down the throat from the mouth to the stomach in one step!

Cao Qing applauded and laughed: "Lord Wang is really a young hero, refreshing and refreshing, but it's a pity that we are entangled in an important case this time, otherwise we must drink and get drunk together!"

No matter what he does or what he says, he reveals a bold spirit, like a reckless hero on the rivers and lakes.

But Wang Qilin doesn't think so.

How can a reckless hero become the captain of a city?

Cao Qing was still very arrogant later, he didn't ask about the case, but asked about his son being beaten in Jixiang County, and said: "The second time I sent a three-grade guard to those little cubs, but I was still beaten and vomited blood, this little Jixiang County, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger!"

Wang Qilin confessed, saying that the responsibility lay with him.

Cao Qing smiled and waved his hand: "That cub messes with flowers and grass all day long, and I want to teach him a lesson." It's a pity that his mother is only this one son, and she dotes on him very much, and the old people in the family are there, so every time I scold him, someone protects him. Now it's a good thing that a master has taught him a lesson, but I want to know that master, I don't know who he is a hero. ”

Wang Qilin said solemnly: "Xiaguan will go to investigate this matter today. ”

He didn't believe Cao Qing's words, when he watched so many palace fighting dramas and officialdom dramas in his dreams?

This Cao Qing is playing a trick on him, if he confesses Shen Yi, it is estimated that Shen Yi will be in prison tonight.

The carriage drove into the yamen, and Zhiwen, the county leader of Daizhi County, first helped Liu Bo and Cao Qing to get out of the car, and then kowtowed respectfully.

His chance came.

If he behaves well, then the seat of the parent official of Jixiang County can basically be moved under his buttocks.

Zhang Ruhui was still staying in Jixiang County, Lin Zhongying knew that he had offended the demons and monsters, and he didn't dare to take him out of the county seat at will, so he let him stay in the county office, where Wang Qilin was guarded and it was very safe.

Zu Zhiwen knew the relationship between Zhang Ruhui and Liu Bo, and invited him out as soon as possible.

Seeing Zhang Ruhui smiling at himself, Liu Bo excitedly walked a few steps forward and grabbed his wrist, and said, "Chen Shan, you made it so hard for your brother!"

Zhang Ruhui smiled cutely, and looked quite cute: "Wen Huai, hehe, hehe." ”

Soon Liu Bo discovered the abnormality, and he asked in astonishment, "Master Zhang, is this?"

Lin Zhongying's face was sad and filled with righteous indignation: "Master Zhang's talent has attracted the coveted of demons and monsters, he was entangled by a monster on the way to Jixiang County, and it took a lot of hard work for Xia Guan and Lord Wang to finally rescue him, but, alas!"

He waved his long sleeves in tears, looking extremely sad.

Wang Qilin was stunned for a moment, he underestimated this grandson, he is a good actor.

He secretly warned himself: At the level of Fucheng, there is no one in the officialdom who is stunned, and he must beware of everyone.

Zhang Ruhui once accompanied Liu Bo through the northwest, and the northwest frontier was unstable, and the two formed a strong friendship in the war and artillery fire, so seeing Zhang Ruhui lost his soul, Liu Bo didn't ask Li Ying about it that day, and he was always trying to find a way to summon Zhang Ruhui's soul.

Wang Qilin knew that this was in vain, Zhang Ruhui's soul had already been detained, and he was finished.

It doesn't matter if a person's soul is not complete, he will be as muddy as the walking dead, the terrible thing is that he will be targeted by lonely souls and wild ghosts, and in the days to come, there will be an unknown number of ghosts to entangle him in order to occupy his body.

Therefore, Qin Tao, the monster, shot ruthlessly, and he seemed to let Zhang Ruyan go, but in fact, he left more torture.

The next day, Captain Zhao Lin arrived again.

A magistrate was killed by demons and monsters, which is a big deal for both the yamen and the heavenly eunuchs.

Wang Qilin used the inspiration he got from Suisui Niangzi, he first admitted his mistake, took the guilt, and then said the root cause of Li Ying's death by the painted skin ghost:

"Li Ying is not only greedy for officials, oppresses the people, and has done many bad things, resulting in the dragon's discouragement, but also they still have fox fairies in their house! The Li family in Jixiang County has been raising fox fairies for decades, and the fox fairies escaped a few days ago, creating all these ......."

One, two, three, four, five, the responsibility is pushed out.

Anyway, it is true that Qingqiu Mansion has raised fox immortals, and it has been raised for many years, but this matter cannot be relied on by Wang Qilin, how many days has he been in Jixiang County?

Sure enough, Zhao Lin and Wan Fozi's attention were attracted by the Nine-Tailed Fox Immortal.

The nine-tailed fox is a Rui beast in the classical books, also known as the Rui fox, and the wife of King Dayu, Tu Shan Nujiao, is the nine-tailed fox and gave birth to a son Qi.

Guo Pu, a master of metaphysics in the Western Jin Dynasty, also described the nine-tailed fox in the commentary on the Book of Heaven and Earth, saying: "In the country of Qingqiu, there are nine tails of foxes. Taiping is out of Rui. ”

The filial piety deed also says: "Virtue to birds and beasts, then the fox has nine tails." The meaning of this sentence is that if the king is virtuous, then the appearance of the nine-tailed fox is a reflection of auspiciousness.

If they can find a nine-tailed fox and dedicate it to the Holy Lord, it will definitely be a great achievement.

However, whether it is to investigate the nine-tailed fox or to investigate the Li Ying case or to investigate the leakage of the county test questions in Jixiang County, they have to wait, Zhao Lin arrived in Jixiang County when it was already August 14, and the next day was the traditional festival of the New Han Dynasty:

Mid-autumn festival.

This is a reunion festival, every year on this day, ordinary people gather together to eat moon cakes, play with lanterns, and enjoy the full moon.

But the officials are different, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jixiang County has to wrap the top floor hall of the prosperous building, the county's officials and famous literati and students together to admire the moon, chant poems against each other, celebrate the festival together, and then the bigwigs hold a sister to explore the road of life.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival has long been scheduled, so despite Li Ying's absence, it will be held as usual.

Even because of the arrival of Zhao Lin, Liu Bo, Cao Qing and Wan Fozi and other high-ranking officials, Zu Zhiwen wanted to please them, and temporarily deployed more silver taels to prepare for this year's festival activities, wanting to show his scheduling and organizational skills, and take the opportunity to show his face in front of the chiefs.

Anyway, it's all public money, and he is doing it hard this time, just wanting to create a lively Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wang Qilin naturally wanted to attend this dinner, so in the evening he accompanied his father to worship the moon, in order to thank God and the gods and Buddhas for blessing their family for a smooth and prosperous eight months this year, and at the same time pray for a smooth and smooth future.

In the past, their family had no money, so they just bought a watermelon and some mooncakes, and then picked some wild fruits in the countryside and made some oil cakes and other sacrifices.

Now it's different, Wang Qilin is a big seal, and he has the dry shares of Tongfu Inn, and the family is not short of money, so Wang Liuwu and Wang Lu's learned the moon sacrifice etiquette of the big families in the county and prepared a lot of sacrifices.

Wang Lu's family has to dry fruit cakes every autumn, and this year they have to go to Tongfu Inn to help the workers have no time, so they don't dry them.

As a result, Suisui Niangzi sent them persimmon cakes, flower cakes, apricot cakes, etc., a small basket of various categories, which made Wang Lu's very happy.

These fruit cakes are delicate and cute, and Wang Lushi sighed while putting them on the plate: "What a good lady, alas, Bao Da is really lucky, there is such a daughter-in-law, alas." ”

Wang Liuwu is an honest man, he said dissatisfiedly: "Bao Jialang is also a good man, although he doesn't look good, but he is down-to-earth and honest, Suisui Niangzi marries such a man, alas, it is indeed his good life!"

Wang Qilin is cutting melons, this is particular, to cut the watermelon into a staggered petal, like a Bodhisattva lotus throne.

Black Beans helped him, Wang Qilin cut a piece of watermelon and handed it to him, he waved his hand decently and said, "Give it to God and the Bodhisattva first, and let them bless Uncle Don't Die." ”

The words are good words, but Wang Qilin doesn't feel good when he hears them.

Wang Qiaoniang said helplessly: "Black beans are still stupid, follow his father." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Has Black Bean's father never come to you?"

Wang Qiaoniang sneered: "Come to me and ask for money, let me use a broom to take it away!"

Heidou said excitedly: "My mother was ruthless that day, the broom was broken, and she used an iron rod to string it up and continue to smoke!"

Speaking of this, he whispered to Wang Qilin: "Then I learned that my mother really loves idols, and she didn't work hard when she beat beans." ”

Wang Liuwu muttered: "Today's reunion festival, according to our rules, you should go back to your mother-in-law's house." ”

Wang Qiaoniang is much more pungent now, and said: "What are you going back for? Let him and that sassy fox bully our mother? Force me to take the child into the river like Sister Zhao?"

Wang Liuwu muttered: "I just said casually, why are you so excited? Come on, come on, bring the moonshine paper, hehe, it's the first time we're using moonshine paper." ”

The moonlight paper is painted in the shape of the moon, on which there is a moonlight Zhao Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus throne, there are many exquisite flower branches, and under the flower branches, there is also a bright laurel hall and a jade rabbit standing holding a stone pestle to pound medicine, which is a special sacrifice for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This kind of paper is small three inches, and the big one is more than one zhang, and it is exquisitely made and the gold wall is colorful.

Wang Liuwu is now arrogant and bought a roll of large moonlight paper, on which the Bodhisattva and the jade rabbit are even three-dimensional, and they can be pulled out.

When Wang Qilin pulled out the jade rabbit, he was seen by Eight Meow, and it happened that Wang Liuqiao was pounding garlic, so Eight Meow stood up like the Jade Rabbit and posed with the garlic mortar.

Xu Da smiled when he saw it and said, "It's quite enchanting." ”

Several people watched and laughed.

Black Bean is not convinced, he also wants praise and laughter.

A smart child has to be the center of attention.

It's a pity that the garlic mortar is too small for him to support, so he goes to hold the door panel and pose.

Seeing this group of people was inexplicable.

Heidou thought about it for a while, and made a killer move, he hooked his hand at Xu Dagou and said, "Uncle, come in and play......"

The crowd exploded all at once!

Wang Qiaoniang casually picked up a candle as thick as a child's arm and chased after him.

The candle is still burning.

Wang Qilin went out with a smile, he had to go to the dinner party to entertain Zhao Lin and Liu Bo and others.

At this time, the smell of paper ash incense and candles wafted in the air of the entire county, and the sky was still bright, but both sides of Jixiang Street were already full of lanterns.

The large and small stores have re-decorated the storefront, such as the Dingsheng Building, Yicui Building and other large stores have also built up a colorful building with silk and satin, the Dingsheng Building is full of flowers, and the beauty of Yicui Building is like jade, each with its own style.

The fifth taste is not to be outdone, Hu Tu picked out the drunken immortal wine flag, Bao Da moved the wine jar out, one after another large jar was placed together, after opening, the wine aroma was rich.

Wang Qilin stood at the door and watched, Xu Da took the bowl and tasted a sip of wine, and exclaimed: "Suisui Niangzi's craftsmanship is more beautiful, this sip of wine, oops, I hope I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time!"

The Suisui lady who was placing moon cakes in the door smiled and said, "If you like any jar of wine, take it back." ”

Some families set off firecrackers early, so in the flickering lanterns, the sound of firecrackers is everywhere.

There are many wealthy families in the county, and they do not celebrate the festival at home, but call friends and friends to come to the restaurant together.

The restaurants invited troupes and jugglers and storytellers, and the whole county became more lively than ever.

The most atmospheric is the lanterns, and Jixiang County hangs lanterns on Jixiang Street every year to hold a lantern festival.

The lanterns at this time are different from the lanterns of the Lantern Festival, do not guess the lantern riddles, only enjoy the lanterns.

What sesame lamps, eggshell lamps, shavings lamps, straw lamps, fish scale lamps, chaff lamps, melon seed lamps and bird and beast flower and tree lamps, etc., poor Wang Qilin jumped from a small village to a small city for the first time this year, and was dazzled by many lanterns.

Wang Qilin walked all the way into the prosperous building, and the shopkeeper in the building personally greeted the guests at the door, and saw Wang Qilin give a small red envelope first, and saluted and smiled: "Lord Wang, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion is happy." ”

The group returned the salute and entered the building, and at this time, someone suddenly bumped Wang Qilin from the side.

Wang Qilin was surprised to see that a young man with a beautiful face was giving him a look, and he hurriedly disappeared into a corridor.

Seeing this, he chased after him, this boy was the nightmare boy Mu Taihang he had saved, and he also got a rosewood coffin board at that time, and now this board is on his bed, and he sleeps on this board every night.

Mu Taihang pushed open a door and entered a small private room, Wang Qilin saw that no one around him followed up, and then Mu Taihang hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, do you remember the students?"

"Little Brother of the Mu Family......"

"It's me. Mu Taihang hurriedly said, "Let me remind you of one thing, you have to be careful tonight, the classmates and teachers of the academy will embarrass you." ”

Wang Qilin was stunned: What kind of trouble is this?

Mu Taihang explained: "You went to the Hanging Sail Academy very unceremoniously a few days ago to toss around, which made many people very dissatisfied. And you used to bully Dr. Meng in the small study, right? And now there are rumors that you killed Lord Li of the county magistrate, so the students want to take advantage of the presence of Governor Liu and other high-ranking officials to give you a big embarrassment. ”

Wang Qilin's face immediately became gloomy, what the hell is this, bullying people?

went to Hangfan Academy to toss in order to investigate the case, bullying Dr. Meng was because he looked down on people in front of him, and it was nonsense to kill Li Ying.

He asked, "Does Sectarian Meng know about this?"

Mu Taihang's face was embarrassed.

Wang Qilin suddenly said, "He knows, I understand, thank you Xiao Langjun." ”

This is what Meng Zhongxian is doing behind his back!

The leakage of the Jixiang County County Examination Examination Questions has a lot to do with him, he once wanted to suppress this matter but was rejected by Wang Qilin, which doomed him to be punished, and the position of the oracle was estimated to be unstable, so he simply made a stumbling block for Wang Qilin before stepping down.

If Wang Qilin loses face in front of Zhao Lin, Liu Bo and other high-ranking officials, then the development of his career will inevitably not be very smooth in the future.

This trick is very fierce and vicious.

Wang Qilin asked again, "How are you going to embarrass me?"

Mu Taihang said: "There is a poetry meeting during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they know that you have never read a book, and they will try their best to let you compose poems and make fun of you when the time comes." ”

Wang Qilin hugged his fists and said: "I understand, thank you Xiao Langjun for mentioning it." ”

Mu Taihang said: "Lord Wang is polite, you have a life-saving grace for me, my mother said that you are a rare good official, I, I can't sit idly by at this time!"

He was afraid that his classmates would be suspicious, so he quickly opened the door and went out.

Xu Da and Xie Toad were outside the door, they heard this, Xu Da rolled up his sleeves and said: "Seventh master, don't worry, the uncle's literary style is not covered, tonight the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I will compose poems for you at that time." ”

Wang Qilin smiled and said, "I'll see what I look at later." ”

Mu Taihang did him a great favor, giving him plenty of time to remember what he had learned on Earth in his dreams.

His experience in the dream was very mysterious, and he couldn't understand many things, such as physics, chemistry, and foreign languages, and he couldn't understand them at all.

But he studied poetry very carefully, because knowledge knows no time, and it is a valuable asset at all times.

Coincidentally, when he was a teenager, he had a Mid-Autumn Festival, and he wanted to pretend to be a prodigy, so he deliberately remembered a poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival that he had seen in his dream, and the poem that had not yet appeared in this era wanted to shock his father and mother.

As a result, Wang Liuwu and Wang Lushi didn't know any poetry at all, he was there to the moon, but his father and sisters were grabbing moon cakes to eat, and afterwards he explained that he had just made a very good poem, and his father and mother said that the moon cakes were delicious......

Since then, he has cut off the idea of creating a prodigy in front of his father, and his father and mother can't understand these things at all.

The top floor has been cleaned up, and the first five seats, Zhao Lin, Wan Fozi, Liu Bo, Cao Qing and Zu Zhiwen of Daizhi County.

Below is a circle of coffee tables and futons, many people have already arrived, and most of them are scholars in fluttering clothes, all of them are graceful and dashing.

As soon as Wang Qilin came in, the scholars began to bow their heads and ears, and they were like chickens that had caught worms.

The fruit is placed on the table, there are many fruits at this time, the common peach, plum, melon and fruit are not to be said, and there are pomegranates, quinchons, pears, dates, chestnuts, grapes and other fruits that are rare to see in Jixiang County.

The fruits that are usually rare to see outside are now placed on each table at will, and they can be eaten and taken at will, which shows the strength of Dingshenglou.

Many scholars have no money at home, and they are hungry and yellow-skinned, and they want to eat fruits, but no one dares to do it for the sake of fame.

Wang Qilin didn't care, after coming in, he grabbed a bunch of grapes and ate them, tasting them while eating: "It's so sweet." ”

"Well, this jujube is good, although it is a little smaller, the taste is okay. ”

"Heh, this is a cantaloupe, a fruit from the Western Regions, we haven't planted it here, come, taste it." ”

Wang Qilin had just picked up a cantaloupe when Meng Zhongxian walked in.

The scholars in the county are all his disciples, and when they saw him, they all took the initiative to greet him respectfully.

Meng Zhongxian turned around and came to Wang Qilin in high spirits, and bowed his hand and said, "Lord Wang, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion is happy." ”

Wang Qilin returned the salute and handed him the cantaloupe and said, "This is the point, Lord Meng's stomach must be empty, take a bite of fruit?"

Meng Zhongxian took the cantaloupe and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Lord Wang." ”

Cantaloupe has never been introduced to Jixiang County, and he didn't know what it was after he got it, but in order to maintain his knowledgeable image, he couldn't ask, so he gave Xiao Er, who was serving tea and pouring water next to him, a look.

Wang Qilin noticed it and said first: "Lord Meng, don't worry, this is a melon in the Western Regions, and it is not poisonous." ”

Xiao Er nodded.

Meng Zhongxian smiled calmly and confidently: "I naturally know that Master Xuanzang's westward avenue has recorded this fruit. ”

After saying that, he opened his mouth and bit it.

Didn't bite a bite.

Meng Zhongxian nodded solemnly and said, "As recorded in the classics, the skin of this fruit is very hard and difficult to bite. ”

Wang Qilin was stunned: I'm a expert!

He asked, "Master Meng, did Master Xuanzang say in the book that this fruit is cut and eaten like a watermelon?"

The shopkeeper nodded frantically and hinted at the knife on the coffee table with his eyes.

Meng Zhongxian knew that he had made a joke, but the students were all looking at him now, and he said with a calm face: "Master Xuanzang introduced the way to eat this melon in the Western Regions, but he said that the nobles of the Western Regions start to eat from the skin, which is called hard first and then soft, bitter first and then sweet, just like doing knowledge!"

As he spoke, he gnawed on the peel of the cantaloupe and ate it in one bite.

Wang Qilin was convinced, and he sighed with admiration: I would like to call it a unique skill! You Confucians are awesome!
