Zhao Ran originally thought that Dong Zhikun and Zhang Ze's gang wanted to inquire about the fact that he was instigating the Hu family father and daughter behind his back, and wanted to catch his sore feet, so he didn't care at first. Even if this matter is said now, it is actually not a big deal, with Zhao Ran's current status, with the weight of his speech in the high-level of Wuji Academy, it can be settled in minutes.

But after listening to Jin Jiu's confession, he couldn't help but be indifferent, once the Hu father and daughter were accused of being a Buddhist man, then he would also be involved, and it would be easy to be framed as "colluding with Buddhism". In the context of the intensification of the fighting in White Horse Mountain, this crime is not a joke, just let you "assist in the investigation", people have to shed a layer of skin.

He didn't have the heart to go to the back mountain to demonstrate the formation, so he appeased Jin Jiu with kind words, and after agreeing to vigorously recommend it in front of the Song Prison Courtyard, he beat the happy Jin Jiu away, and quietly came to the backyard. Following the rope he left there and climbing over the wall, Zhao Ran found a path and went down the mountain directly.

A market has been formed under the mountain gate of Wuji Mountain, where many shops and houses have been opened. As the general merchant of the food supply of Wuji Courtyard, the golden shopkeeper lives here for most of the month. Jin Ji Rice Shop has been doing a prosperous business this year, and the goods sold have long been more than just rice and grain, and meat, vegetables, melons and fruits have a stable supply channel, so the warehouse has also expanded very much, and several rest houses have been added for the guys.

The Jin Ji rice shop had not yet had time to build a wall to form a separate courtyard, so Zhao Ran did not alarm others, and came directly to the familiar wooden house of the Jin shopkeeper. There was a big yellow dog at the door, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately hissed twice in a low voice vigilantly, Zhao Ran was familiar with the way, and directly threw a meat bag over, and gently called "rhubarb", and stepped forward to rub the dog's neck, the yellow dog saw that it was an acquaintance, and obediently picked up the meat bag, lay on the ground, and let Zhao Ran brush his hair to appease.

I heard the movement in the house, and as soon as the door opened, the golden shopkeeper poked his head out to take a look, and said softly: "Daochang Zhao is here?" and went back to change his coat and put it on, and came out to salute Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran saw a woman's slender arm like a lotus root under the oil lamp in the house, and asked with a smile: "It doesn't seem to be your mother-in-law? ”

The golden shopkeeper said: "Inherit a lot of love, and it all depends on the cultivation of the Taoist." ”

Zhao Ran said: "Follow me." When he walked out first, the golden shopkeeper hurriedly followed.

Walking to a hidden and empty place, Zhao Ran asked: "Last year, well, the year before last, do you remember the incident of the Hu father and daughter?"

The golden shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, took advantage of the moonlight to peek at Zhao Ran's face, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "What is the Hu father and daughter? ”

Zhao Ran nodded: "That's good...... By the way, I heard that someone in the courtyard is inquiring about the news of the Hu father and daughter, saying that they are secretly working with Buddhism, do you know about this?"

The golden shopkeeper was stunned, pondered for a long time, and said cautiously: "Is it the Hu father and daughter who tell stories and sing songs in the county town?" I don't know very well, I haven't had any dealings with their father and daughter on weekdays, whether they are Buddhist spies, where do I know?"

Zhao Ran tilted his head and stared at the golden shopkeeper, and he didn't know how long it took, Fang said: "Yes, then I will rest assured." ”

The golden shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a cold sweat behind his back. Wiping his sweat, he hesitated and asked, "Dao Chief, is something wrong?"

Zhao Ran said lightly: "It's not a big deal, just ask if you have anything to do with the Hu family's father and daughter." ”

The golden shopkeeper suddenly understood, and swore to the sky: "God, which bastard with a bad conscience splashed me with dirty water? I have nothing to do with the Hu family." I have only heard them sing from a distance before, but I have never spoken a word, and the same is true for the Hu family, the Taoist can go and ask them, anything happens to them has nothing to do with me, please believe me in this, otherwise I will be killed by the thunder!"

"Very good...... What about your buddies? or relatives and friends, they ......."

"It has nothing to do with it, the Taoist can just rest assured!"

"Anyway, don't pull it on you, you're covered by me, if something happens to you, I don't look good here. ”

"The little one understands...... Well, I don't know who is doing the trick in there? Can the Taoist Governor reveal a thing or two?"

"It doesn't hurt to say it, it's the deacon of the house director, and it's Zhang Ze who comes out. Zhao Ran gave the bottom, and saw that the golden shopkeeper's face suddenly became ugly, and he knew that he was afraid, because he said: "Don't be afraid, as long as it has nothing to do with you, others can't bully you, if there is anything, just look for me directly...... By the way, I am the new master of the scripture hall today. ”

The golden shopkeeper was overjoyed and bowed down: "Congratulations to the Taoist!"

"Do you know how I suddenly became the Lord of Tranquility?"

"The Taoist is very talented, his homework is excellent, and he knows ...... things"

"Fart! Sue you, the person surnamed Dong wants to be a prison, but I forced him down, and I, the Jing Master, stepped on his head to get on the throne. ”

The golden shopkeeper immediately smiled.

Since this clue could not implicate him, Zhao Ran was much more down-to-earth, and he also had a rough judgment of the methods of the golden shopkeeper from the conversation just now, and knew that he should be safe.

Back at Wuji Courtyard, Zhao Ran went to Deacon Dong's residence and eavesdropped for a while, except for Deacon Dong's snoring, there was no result. He went to the house of the dining room again, and he didn't overhear anything unusual about Zhang Ze.

For three consecutive nights, Zhao Ran committed crimes in a row, climbing the wall and eavesdropping every night, trying to inquire about some news with the advantage of his excellent ear, but found nothing. This is normal, few people will talk to themselves often, and the vast majority of those who like to talk to themselves are directly related to a certain disease.

However, where there is perseverance, there is a way, Zhao Ran eavesdropped every night, and finally got what he wanted. That night, Zhao Ran slipped away to the small courtyard of Deacon Dong and happened to hear the conversation between Deacon Dong and Zhang Ze.

“...... There is nothing to be done, after checking for a long time, Old Man Hu has no other relatives in this county, only a son and a daughter. I walked through the old money of the Yamen's main official house, and looked through the county books, and the three Hu family members were not registered......"

"Stupid, the Hu clan is a lowly servant, where will it be registered on the official register!

"I also sent people, but there is no one at the end of the Teaching Workshop Division, but there is a record of Hu's Luyin, they are from Chengdu......"

"Then go to Chengdu to check!"

"Go, the road guide is indeed issued by the Chengdu government, and there is an approval from the Department of Education over there, and the procedures are complete......

"Hu is from Chengdu?"

"I don't know...... His file in the Chengdu Teaching Department is very complete, and he has no other relatives at home, so he is alone...... The officials of the Teaching Workshop Division have no impression of the Hu family, and it was Zuo Shaowu Zhang Duan of the Teaching Workshop Division who gave him the approval slip, but Zhang Duan has no impression of the approval he opened, and Master Feng, who issued the road guide from Chengdu Prefecture, is still there, but he issues no less than 1,000 road guides every year, and he can't remember the ...... clearly."

"This ...... Does Hu have any friends in Guyang County?"

"The family is alone, and they don't deal with their neighbors......"

"Could it be that it jumped out of the stone......?

"Deacon, in fact, in my opinion, since the three Hu family have no relatives and friends, and their origins are not clear, they are easy to be charged with crimes......"

"It's not difficult to deduct a crime, but how can the surname Zhao be involved? I saw that this person is not simple before, let you check the Hu family, but unfortunately it is still too late, if you get rid of it early, where will the surname Song take advantage? This time Abbot Du explained clearly when he left, he must teach him some lessons, otherwise it will be difficult to get out of this evil breath!"

"Yes......"

"The scandal between you and Jin Jiu spread that day, there must be a troublemaker surnamed Zhao in it, and the surname Zhao must be involved with the Hu family, no matter what, you have to find tangible evidence. I don't care what you do, in short, let the Hu family explain the root of it, do your best! This matter is done, I guarantee that you will be admitted this year, if you do an errand, you don't have to mess around in the courtyard, understand?"

At the end of the conversation in the room, Zhao Ran heard Zhang Ze open the door and leave, he waited for a while, and then tiptoed away. What will Zhang Ze do, Zhao Ran also guessed, according to Deacon Dong's intentions, it is likely to be a hard hand on the Hu family. The Hu family is a pariah, and you don't have to think about it to know that when facing a local powerful child like Zhang Ze, he will definitely be crushed, but Zhao Ran is not too worried, even if Zhang Ze instructs the Hu family to bite him, as long as there is no solid evidence, it is impossible for him to be charged with fornicating with Buddhism.

Zhao Ran believed that no one in Wuji Courtyard had the ability to frame him
