In Qinghe County, it rained on this day, and the raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell to the ground, washing the dust of the world.

At the entrance of the yamen, a Taoist with a hat was waiting quietly outside.

After a while, two messengers with oil umbrellas walked on the opposite side, walking in a hurry, walking towards this person.

"Master Zhang, how is the situation?"

The Taoist hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

The person surnamed Zhang had a gloomy face, shook his head, and said, "Go in and say." ”

After entering the yamen, the surname Zhang sent his companions to guard the outside and led the Taoist into the inner room.

put down the umbrella and said with a gloomy face: "I have been to the house of the scholar Liu, and no one has come back from the family." Coincidentally, it rained again today, and even if someone came back, the rain washed away all the footprints. ”

After a pause, he stared at the Daoist and asked, "Duan Daoren, tell me honestly, did Liu Shusheng really die that day?"

Duan Daoren hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "If there is no accident, it should be dead." ”

The person surnamed Zhang frowned and said, "Not necessarily." I went to ask, it is said that the Liu scholar was picked up by the person in the middle of the road, and he has been lost news, who knows if this person will have any magic methods to make this book live. ”

Duan Daoren frowned and said, "It's just a wandering Daoist, what can he do." ”

"Don't underestimate that person. The person surnamed Zhang stared at him and said: "This person, measuring a word, can sell a scale of gold without taking it, and can still win the trust of Miss Bai, he must not be an ordinary person." ”

Duan Daoren said: "There is only one Daoist on the left and right, and there is no foundation here, what waves can be turned over?"

The surname Zhang snorted and said, "I, Zhang Su, have been in the public gate for so long, will I be afraid of a Taoist? ”

The man pointed to the sky.

Duan Daoren said tentatively: "Are you talking about Lord An?"

Zhang Su nodded and said, "Our new county lord is said to be a member of the Qingliu party, and because he offended people in the court, he was assigned to Lingyang Mansion. Han Hou had no good impression or bad feeling for this person, and he did not want to settle him in Fucheng, so he sent him to Qinghe County. ”

Duan Daoren said, "What is the temperament of this Lord An?"

Zhang Su sneered: "A Qingshui official, what he does is the dream of the Qingtian Lord." I wish that all the cases in my hands were unjust and wrong, otherwise how could I prove that he was famous for a lifetime?"

Duan Daoren's expression changed, and he said in a low voice: "Master Zhang, the wall has ears, so be careful." ”

Zhang Su snorted and said: "He is an outsider, in this Qinghe County, it is a cloud of black, don't look at him standing in the main position, the real 'big master' in this county is not him!"

Silently said the word "Liu".

Duan Dao understood in his heart, nodded, and said, "Master Zhang, then what should we do now?"

Zhang Su said: "There is no other way, mainly the word 'fast'. Quickly cut through the mess, find this scholar as soon as possible, make this matter a death case, an iron case, and cover the coffin. In the future, even if someone sues for injustice, Lord An will have no case to overturn!"

Duan Daoren said: "It's just how to make an iron case? There were quite a few people present at that time. ”

"I said that you are a foolish woman, how can you believe it?" Zhang Suyin laughed and said: "I don't have to buy these people, as long as I instruct three or five people, go to the court, and say some confessions at will, you say the same, he says the same, stir up this troubled water, I guarantee that Lord An will never accept anyone's confession." ”

Duan Daoren looked at this poor person in a daze, and before he could react, he heard this person say: "That scapegoat is easier to find, and there is no need to go to others, just say that the scholar just fainted at that time, and was carried away by that Qiao Jialang and the Taoist, and did that murderous thing." As long as he finds someone, arranges some 'clues', and finds a few 'witnesses', he can't tell even if he has ten mouths. ”

Duan Daoren only felt a chill from head to toe, and said secretly: "It is said that the county order of breaking the family and destroying the door is Yin, this official is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is easy to kill a person." ”

Duan Daoren said secretly: "Fortunately, there is no shortage of filial piety money from these people on weekdays, otherwise I don't know how I really died." ”

This person's mind flashed, and his face did not show anything unusual.

I only heard Zhang Su ponder: "It's just for the sake of today, we need to find the bodies of those two people and the scholar as soon as possible." ”

Duan Daoren sighed: "This is my senior brother's negligence. If I knew earlier, I should have sent someone to follow that Qiao Jialang all the way, otherwise I wouldn't be as passive as I am now. ”

Zhang Su looked out the window and said faintly: "It's a lot of rain here......"

The rain was pouring outside, and from time to time thunder and explosions fell, startling how many yin snakes and scorpions.

Zhang Su and Duan Daoren sat silently in silence, losing their interest in talking for a while.

After a while, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall and thin official came in and whispered, "Boss, the scholar and the Taoist have been missing." ”

"Oh, is that Qiao Qi going home and being blocked by you?" Zhang Su stood up violently and asked in a deep voice.

This Zhang Su has long made people squat outside Qiao Qi and Liu Shusheng's house, as long as someone comes back, they will know the news immediately.

The tall and thin official said, "No. It was not them who were caught, but Liu Er from South Street, who was squatting at Qiao Qi's house. ”

"Hmm, is that splash?" Zhang Su said in surprise: "This splash doesn't do good deeds on weekdays, and he is idle all day long, why did he run to Qiao's house today?"

The tall and thin servant smiled: "It's a coincidence. This splash was originally to go to the house of the Liu scholar. but mistakenly entered Qiao's house. We saw him sneaking in in the middle of the night, and felt that something was wrong, so we stared at it, and then the splash came out of Qiao's house with a swagger, and there was a jar of copper coins rolled on his body. We rushed up and took him. This splashed goods, playing tricks, said that he knew that Liu Shusheng and Qiao Qi had treasures at home, and they wanted to borrow flowers. ”

Zhang Su said with a strange face: "This splash, isn't it bad for the little lady of the Qiao family? ”

The thin and tall servant smiled and said: "I thought so at the time, and I caught this splash and asked, only to know that the little lady of the Qiao family went back to her parents' house yesterday, and there was no one inside, so this splash went to steal chickens and dogs, and after working for a while, I felt sleepy, so I slept in it all night." ”

Zhang Su's eyes lit up and said, "Yes." This Qiao family lady is not early, not late, why did she go back to her parents' house at this time? It must have been yesterday evening, that Qiao Qi returned home, and knew that something had happened, so let the Qiao family lady leave home temporarily. ”

The tall and thin servant nodded and said, "Exactly." This pranky obviously knows the whereabouts of Qiao Qi and has seen Qiao Qi go home, so he must know where Qiao Qi went. ”

Duan Daoren said: "Then what are you waiting for, ask for the whereabouts, and quickly get the person back." ”

The thin and tall servant glanced at this Taoist and said slowly, "Dao Chief." Doing things, it's not that you're in a hurry, it's useless, this splash is just a hob meat, you can't beat it, you can't scold it, if you want him to speak, you have to do this. ”

The man rubbed his thumb and index finger, and Duan Dao understood and said, "I understand." As long as things are done, everything else is easy to say. ”

Although this person is reluctant to give up money in his heart, he also knows the truth of breaking wealth and eliminating disasters.

Quietly handed over a money bag and said with a smile: "I can only trouble grandpa." ”

The official surnamed Sun checked the money bag and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

After saying that, he went out the door. After a while, a person came in, not Liu Er, but who else was.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Er was still hanging and careless, but as soon as he saw Zhang Su, his expression immediately changed, like a mouse touching a cat, and he shrank back twice.

Zhang Su looked at Liu Er and said in a dark voice: "Liu Er, let me ask you, what about Qiao Jialang and Daoren, do you know where they are?"

Liu Er's eyes rolled and said, "I haven't seen it." Where have I seen it? I don't know that Qiao Jialang well. ”

Zhang Su took two steps forward, and was so frightened that he stepped back.

Leaning forward, I only heard this person say in a dark voice: "Liu Er, you are playing tricks in front of others, that's it, you still want to do this in front of me? ”

Nodding to the servant surnamed Sun, he heard the man say hesitantly: "Recently, there is still a shortage of butt sellers on death row." I see that this kid has a fat head and big ears, and he is fat and fat, so it is better to send it in, and we should do good deeds, so that those death row prisoners will not be 'evil ghosts' on the road." ”

This sloppy Liu Er, if you punish him, he may not be in line. Left and right a bitter word, gritted his teeth, and passed it with a straight up.

But this "selling ass" is too disgusting, Rao is this evil Liu Er, who made up some pictures in his head, and couldn't help but tremble and shiver.

"Master Zhang, grandfather, both of you are my grandfather, I am the grandson of the two of you, you just treat me as a fart, let it go." ”

Liu Er accepted the hippie smile and raised his hand again and again to say goodbye.

Zhang Su snorted and said, "Say, where are those two now?"

Liu Er still couldn't help that little thought, and said, "I know where people are." But as the saying goes, those who see have a share. I said the place, can the two masters give some money to lead the way?"

Before Zhang Sun and the others could speak, the Taoist couldn't sit still, how could he still have the heart to argue with him, took two silver cakes, threw them in Liu's second-hand, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't talk nonsense." As long as you lead the way, your reward will be indispensable. ”

"Master Dao, you are a true and good person, we are your grandson, not to mention leading the way, we can carry you up the mountain. As soon as Liu Er saw the shining silver, he immediately opened his eyebrows and laughed.

Zhang Su's heart moved, and he asked, "Then Qiao Qi and Daoren, are they on the mountain now, which mountain is it?"

Liu Er said slyly: "There are so many mountains around here, and it is night, and the black lights are blinding, how can I see clearly? ”

The three of them looked at this splash, they really hated itchy, and they were helpless.

Liu Er secretly sneered in his heart: "Seeing that you are mysterious, you must not be doing good deeds." If you don't get involved, I'll go with you to see what is going on, how can you extort money in the future?"

"Good. Then you lead the way! Otherwise, you know the outcome. Sun Yashi warned him.

When Liu Er heard this, he seemed to be a different person, nodded his head, and said, "What words." Who kind of people are we? Three masters, let's go?"

Zhang Su and Sun Ya turned around and took some iron ropes, cowhide bands, and short knives, and took Liu Er with them, and went straight to the outside of the county town.

At this time, in the Netherworld, the solemn Bodhisattva shouted loudly. Shi Zixuan was unexpected, jumped up, and hit the Bodhisattva with a purple bamboo cane.

This purple bamboo cane was originally a spiritual bamboo in the sea of bamboo, and it was refined by the great mana of the ancestor, and it has its own incredible ability.

Shi Zixuan's wave is an understatement, and there are no fireworks in the world, but he has boundless majesty.

I saw that the Bodhisattva, hit by this purple bamboo cane, didn't care, with a little finger, who knew that the mana was cast, but like a mud cow into the rapids, it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

This bodhisattva was taken aback, his face was solemn, he panicked, barely dodged, and rolled down from the altar.

Shi Zixuan didn't give up, and reflexively hit him with a cane.

I heard the Bodhisattva who fell to the ground shouting violently: "Hit lightly, hit lightly, it's my old black mistake." ”

Shi Zixuan stopped beating and said with a smile: "Pretend to be a fake bodhisattva and tease visitors, you are so bold." ”

"Hmph. You are a man who is only a treasure. Otherwise, with your small body, how can I look at it from the old black?"

This "Bodhisattva", a little annoyed and angry, saw that Shi Zixuan received the purple bamboo cane, and no longer played pranks, but changed his body, but showed his original form.
