Chapter 65: Soul Seeking
"Ge'er, this is impossible, our Ding family has never had a grudge against outsiders. And your uncle is cautious, and in recent years, he has been promoted by salt guests in Gangneung Mansion, and he has not heard him mention who he has a grudge with. Ding Yujin looked at Li Gewang and said sadly.
"Grandfather, do you know how my uncle got into trouble?"
"I don't know. The Salt Transportation Division of Gangneung Province is not in our Sanhe Prefecture. After your uncle's accident, this was the case when the Salt Transport Division sent someone to send him back. Ding Yujin said helplessly, and then seemed to remember something, and after a pause, he said, "By the way, at that time, an errand who sent him back secretly told me that it might be related to the new salt guest promotion, but your uncle is not injured or disabled, how should I discuss this matter?"
When Li Ge heard this, he stood aside and secretly pondered, "If it has something to do with the new salt ke's promotion, that is, he drove his uncle's soul out of his body, until he was stupid and crazy and was dismissed, and then sought the official position of his uncle." Thinking of this, Li Ge hurriedly asked, "Grandfather, what kind of official is Yanke Tiju?"
"The salt guest is a tax officer, responsible for managing the salt monopoly in the state capital, although the power is not as big as our political officials, but the official position is one of the fattest officials in the state capital, your uncle is promoted from the six products. ”
"I see. Li Ge nodded, glanced at his uncle who was struggling on the bed with a rope, and asked, "Grandfather, can you send someone to take me to the Yanke Division?"
"Ge'er, what are you doing there?" Ding Yujin asked puzzled.
"I'll go to the official who succeeded my uncle as the new salt guest to see if he drove my uncle's soul out of his body. ”
"No, I can't. Ding Yujin smiled at his grandson and said, "Good boy, although your uncle is stupid now, he is fortunately in good health." If you go to find someone now, you have no basis or evidence, and besides, they are still from the sixth-rank official rank, and this matter will be troubled and you will be involved. ”
"Yes, Ge'er, your grandfather is right, so don't mix it up. Li Yunlong echoed casually.
"Father, grandfather, I'm not here for a reason, I just want to see if my uncle's soul is in that person's hands. If it's here, I'll find a way to get it back, and you don't want your uncle to be so stupid and stupid for the rest of your life, right?" Li Ge looked at the two elders beside him and said in a calm tone, then took out a wooden token from his waist, and said, "Don't worry, with this token, I should be fine." ”
"This~ This is the Guoshi card, Ge'er, where did you get this token from?" Wang Yujin took the wooden token in his grandson's hand and looked at it carefully. I saw that the smooth token was engraved with the words 'thaumaturgical warrior' on one side, and a square seal engraved on the other side.
"It's mine. Li Ge replied calmly.
"I didn't expect you to join the Shock Division. Wang Yujin took the token and looked at it for a while, then gave it back to his grandson, and then looked at the latter carefully from top to bottom, laughed and shouted to Steward Chen standing outside the door, "Da Niu, go and prepare a carriage for my grandson to go to Guo County." ”
"Yes, sir. Butler Chen outside the house nodded in response, and then went to prepare the carriage.
"Father-in-law, Ge'er's token ......" Li Yunlong asked curiously.
"His token is called the national scholar card, which only the thaumaturgical national warriors of the Shock Division will have, and the thaumaturgical national scholars are all official residences and righteous Xuanyi, which is equivalent to the four-rank official rank. Wang Yujin patiently explained.
"From the fourth grade?" Li Yunlong heard this, and looked at his son with an incredulous expression.
After Li Ge put away the token, he chatted with his father and grandfather in the house for a while, and Steward Chen hurriedly ran to the door. Subsequently, he left the house and got into a carriage and went to Guo County.
When Li Ge arrived in Guo County, the sun was about to set, and the carriage stopped behind the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division, and he got off from it and walked directly to the Yamen.
"Stop, who are you looking for?" At the entrance of the yamen, two soldiers standing guard stopped Li Ge and asked.
"Two big brothers, I asked the newly appointed salt customer of your Salt Transportation Division to be promoted, and when I was tired of informing me, I said that I was his distant cousin. Li Ge smiled slightly, took out two ingots of silver in his hand and handed them over.
"It turned out to be Song Tiju's cousin, you wait a minute, I'll go and report. The two guards took the money and looked at Li Ge, and one of them said politely and ran to the house. After a few moments, he led a short, fat man in an official uniform out.
The short and fat Song Tiju stood at the door and looked at Li Ge, and said angrily, "Bold, you dare to pretend to be a relative of the official, who are you?"
Hearing Song Tiju's angry rebuke, Li Ge glanced at him. In this person, he sensed a trace of inexplicable strangeness, but he couldn't say the specific strangeness there.
"Haha~" After staring at it for a while, Li Gelang smiled, and then took out the Guoshi card from his waist and handed it to Song Tiju, saying, "Recently, something strange happened in Guo County, so I came here to take a look, and it happened that it was getting late, so I came here to spend the night." ”
"Okay~ Little Master, please come inside. After Song Tiju took the token and looked at it for a while, the anger on his face immediately disappeared, and he returned the token to Li Ge with a smile, and then led him into the mansion.
"Little Master, I don't know what happened to us in Guo County? I don't seem to have heard any movement in the past few days. After leading Li Ge into a small hall and sitting down, Song Tiju opened his mouth to ask.
"It's not in the county seat, it's in a village two miles east of the county seat, where a ghost who likes to skin people has appeared. Li Ge remembered that when he entered the city from the east of the county seat, he passed through the village, and made up a lie at random.
"A village two miles to the east? When Song Tiju heard this, he replied as usual.
"Yes~ That village is called Fenggang Village. Li Ge nodded in agreement.
"Hehe, little master, you came here to find me for something else, right?" Song Tiju suddenly let out a sneer, and looked at Li Ge with a cold gaze.
"Why did Lord Song say this?" Li Ge's face changed when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that he found something?"
"The village two miles east of the county seat is not called Fenggang Village at all, and I happened to pass by that village yesterday and did not find anything unusual. In the world, the thaumaturgical warriors of the Earthquake Division basically have very little contact with the government, so you must have something else to do when you come here to look for me. ”
Hearing Song Tiju's straightforward words, Li Ge's frowning brows tightened even more, he held the Qiankun bag on his side tightly with his right hand, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Yes, I am indeed here for other things." ”
"Oh~" Song Tiju's face was as light as usual, and he said, "Little Master, you can just say what is going on." ”
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, the wisp of soul that Ding Tiju raised before was expelled from your body?"
"Yes, Ding Yanbing does have a soul in my hands. When Song Tiju heard this, he admitted it directly without the slightest hesitation, and asked with a sneer on his face, "Are you here today for his business, and what is your relationship with him?"
"...... you" Hearing such an answer, Li Ge had a half-moment flickering in his mind, and he didn't know why this Song Tiju would be so frank.
