Chapter Forty-Seven: Here's the Solution
Pushed open the temple door and walked inside into the small temple. There are still traces of a bonfire burning in the middle of the temple, Da Kui does not look down and does not pay attention, there are some stains on the ground in addition to the bonfire marks. Xu Yes's color has darkened after a long time, but Da Kui knows that it is bloodstains after a long time on the battlefield.
Da Kui squatted down to take a closer look, these blood stains had been cleaned but not clean, and there were still a lot of such stains when he looked around. Da Kui was shocked, these refugees wouldn't all have been poisoned. Da Kui didn't delay any longer and got up and walked out of the small temple and returned to the inn, thinking secretly in his heart along the way, who would do it?
Da Kui returned to his room in the inn, but Panbu followed. Da Kui asked, "Why do you get up so early?" Panbu smiled and said, "I always get up early at home." Da Kui nodded and asked, "Are you familiar with this Shunyuan City?" Pan Bu said: "I used to come to the market often, and I am quite familiar with this place." Da Kui hummed and said, "It's good to be familiar, I need your help with something, you can help me find out the whereabouts of Master Meng, who took office." Is it possible?"
Panbu smiled and said, "I'll give it a try." Turning around to leave, Da Kui stopped him and said, "Don't be in a hurry for a while, it's not too late to go when they wake up and have breakfast together." Panbu smiled: "I'll go to the front and get a few steamed buns, hehe" said and went out.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Yang Xiaohu and Tian Feng entered the door. Da Kui said with a smile: "You guys came just in time, let's go out separately to investigate today, and we must grasp the evidence of Liang Youcai's corruption, the more detailed the better." I have already asked Panbu to find out the whereabouts of Master Meng, once I find it, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, everyone will go after breakfast.... ”
The three of them had a simple breakfast and hurried out, and Da Kui first went to the ruined temple. When he arrived at the temple gate, Da Kui looked around, and saw that there was a private house a hundred steps away from the broken temple, and immediately walked towards the private house.
It happened that there was a woman sitting on a small stool in front of the door doing a female worker, Da Kui walked up to the woman and hugged her fist and said, "This eldest sister, may I ask..." The woman glanced up at Da Kui, and hurriedly packed up her belongings and said, "Don't ask, I don't know anything." Then he entered, and with a clatter, closed the door and bolted it.
Da Kui was stunned for a moment, "I didn't know before I asked her, it's really weird." Shaking his head and sighing, Da Kui continued his search. But Da Kui asked a few people in a row, and when they saw that Da Kui was wearing an official uniform and was a foreigner, no matter what Da Kui asked, they all shook their heads and said they didn't know. Da Kui couldn't help but be angry, went back to the inn and changed into people's clothes before going out to investigate.
Walking down the street, Da Kui bowed his head and pondered: 'Presumably, the people in the city have been warned by the government to keep silent about everything they see and hear, and they need to think of a perfect plan. Da Kui walked and thought about what to do, and accidentally saw a five or six-year-old child playing under a tree on the side of the street. I saw that the little boy was wearing a small blue jacket and gray cloth pants, and tiger head shoes on his feet, and what was especially ridiculous was that he only had a teapot lid on his head. The piece of hair on the top of the head was only the size of a palm and had the shape of a peach, and all the hair around it had been removed.
The boy squatted on the ground, holding a wooden stick and poking at the ants on the ground, and said a nursery rhyme while playing: "Little boy, sit on the door, crying and shouting for a daughter-in-law, with a big head and a small neck, just eating and not working..." ”
When Da Kui heard this nursery rhyme, he couldn't help but laugh when he remembered his childhood. Da Kui looked around and there was no one, took the opportunity to walk up and squat in front of Xiao Tong and asked, "What are you playing?"
The boy replied obediently, "Five years old." "This little boy is not only good-looking, but also has a crisp and pleasant voice, full of childishness. Da Kui asked again, "What about your mother?" and Xiao Tong replied, "At home." Da Kui asked, "What about your father?" and the boy replied, "I went to work." Da Kui asked again, "Where is your home?" Xiao Tong pointed behind Da Kui, feeling that his family lived across the street.
Da Kui thought to himself, if he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have made this decision. He smiled and said: "Let's be good friends" Xiao Tong smiled: "Okay, my father said that there are many friends and many roads." Da Kui couldn't help laughing, this little boy is smart and cute, but it's really cute.
Da Kui stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance and said, "There is a candy seller over there, I invite you to eat a candy man." Unexpectedly, the boy said, "My mother said that if someone on the street asks you to eat candy, you are a bad person." Da Kui was stunned, and then changed his words: "Then I will invite you to eat fragrant rice cakes." "After all, the child is small, and his mouth is always greedy. Wen Yan stood up and said, "Well, I like to eat fragrant rice cakes the most." Da Kui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll invite you to eat fragrant rice cakes, and come to Uncle to carry him and walk faster." ”
Xiao Tong was also obedient, and really let Da Kui carry him and walk away on the long street. On the way, the boy also pointed out to Da Kui: "There is one for sale on the right side of the front." "Da Kui stepped up and walked straight forward, thinking, 'Hurry up and buy fragrant rice cakes and send the child to the inn, it is almost noon at this time, and the three of Tian Feng Xiaohu should also come back'.
When he came to the small shop selling rice cakes, Da Kui said to the boss: "Shop, come here for five catties of fragrant rice cakes." "The shop was busy in the store, and it was almost noon and there were a lot of diners. When he turned around and saw the child in Da Kui's arms, he couldn't help but stop working and walked over. He looked Da Kui up and down and asked, "What are you doing? Who is this child?" Da Kui hurriedly said: "Oh, I am the uncle of this child, bring the child to buy fragrant rice cakes, hehe." ”
Unexpectedly, the store threw away the rag in his hand, walked over and grabbed Da Kui's collar and said angrily: "I am the child's uncle, why don't I know you?"
"Huh?" Da Kui couldn't help but be stunned, and the shopkeeper snatched the child and gently put it on the ground and said, "Go find your aunt." Xiao Tong turned around and grimaced at Da Kui, and ran into the store, Da Kui was already stunned at this time: "Such a five-year-old child is a ghost, could it be a monster?" ”
The shopkeeper didn't give up: "Misunderstanding? I think you're going to kidnap people, go, follow me to see the official." ”
Saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Da Kui's collar and wanted to go to the yamen to comment, but Da Kui reluctantly took out the money bag from his arms and took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into the shop's hand and said: "A little bit of meaning is not a respect, the store will accept it." The shopkeeper couldn't help but let go when he saw the silver, and played with this small piece of silver and smiled: "Well, you are still acquainted, and I don't embarrass you, you can go." ”
Da Kui smiled and asked: "I don't know how much money this small shop can make in January?" Seeing Da Kui's bold move, the store immediately changed his face and said: "My small shop has a small profit, and I can make a consistent amount of money in January, guest officer, do you want to?" Da Kui smiled: "If you want to make money, please go to the Shunyuan Inn and talk about it, and we will discuss slowly." ”
