235. The first fire)(1/2)

When he looked at Wu Hanlin and Wu Jingzhan, his father and son were also looking at him.

Then Wu Jingzhan spoke first and said with appreciation: "Mr. Wang is really a young and handsome man. As the outside world says, he is young and promising, handsome and elegant!"

Wu Hanlin smiled and nodded, with a kind fatherly smile on his face.

Wang Qilin returned the gift politely. Wu Jingzhan said this so much that he was very happy. He was young and handsome. He was no longer interested in such polite words. He listened less to the real words like "Yu Shu is in the wind and romantic, so he was quite novel.

He and Wu Jingzhan began to praise each other, but Wu Hanlin had no choice but to wave, and waved: "Please sit down, you just came today, you are tired from the journey, so take a break quickly."

Wu Jingzhan went to pull a line, and he explained to Wang Qilin with a smile: "The other end of this line is a bell, and the bell starts serving as soon as it rings."

Wang Qilin nodded, without any new ideas. He had seen high technology in his dream.

The restaurant was very quick. Wu Jingzhan pulled the rope and took dozens of breaths. Someone immediately knocked on the door to serve the food.

The first thing I came up was a jar of meat. The lid was opened and the mist was filled with mist. The delicious taste of the mutton overflowed with the mist.

Wu Hanlin greeted: "Mr. Wang, Pingyang Mansion is a rough and wilderness land. The people are suffering. There is not much oil and water all year round, so our dishes here do not pay attention to fancy and taste, but only require a large amount to be full."

"Take this sheep croquette as an example. I heard that you Yunzhou Prefecture can make eighteen kinds of tricks. Pingyang Prefecture will put it in a casserole with green onions and peppers. However, there is a secret method in this building. It uses several real almonds in hammers and boils them in live water until the bones are eroded, so it has a unique taste."

Wang Qilin picked up a chopstick of mutton, which was already stewed so much that he didn't have to chew it. He sucked it in his mouth and then took it.

Then there were dishes such as Dongpo pork, fried chicken with pepper and other dishes. As Wu Hanlin said, there was really no need to pay attention to it, it was just that the meat was too much, it was real.

Wu Hanlin started with dishes first, and then gradually began to talk about the topic. At this time, Wu Jingzhan asked meaningfully: "I heard from Mr. Wang. It has only been half a year since you entered Tingtianjian to today, but he has been promoted from You Xing to third-level to Iron Wei. This is really amazing."

What can Wang Qilin say?

He clasped his fists and said to the imperial capital: "It is all blessed by the emperor, and the emperor's kindness is great!"

Wu Jingzhan was choked, and then he smiled and said, "But Lord Wang is probably protected by Mr. Wenhuai this time, right? Of course, Mr. Wenhuai has a very good vision, so it is normal to be able to discover talents like Mr. Wang."

Wu Hanlin waved his hand and said, "Aman's words are wrong. You have made a mistake in the passive relationship. Of course, Mr. Wen Huai's vision is very good. But even ordinary people can see that it is natural for him to take over my Pingyang Mansion. Even without Mr. Wen Huai's promotion, the court would not have buried such talents."

Wang Qilin waved his hand with a humble smile and said, "The emperor's grace is so great."

When the wine was served, Wu Jingzhan introduced him to the jar of American wine. He summed up one sentence: This wine is not only drunk in Pingyang Mansion, so there is wine today, come and come and go, come and go and go all over, Lao Tie has a glass, drink this glass and another glass, and another three glasses...

After drinking, the topic further deepened: "Lao Qi came to Pingyang Mansion this time with a mission? If you don't treat my father and son as outsiders, then you might as well talk about it and see if we can help you?"

Wang Qilin said in the alcoholic spirit: "Tiezi, no, you two, I will tell you that I did come with a mission. In fact, I am now an iron lieutenant, so Lord Liu arranged a job for me and asked me to help him solve a major case, which is the case of the scholar missing in our Pingyang Mansion. Hi, you said, there is no clue at all in this case, how can I solve it? Alas!"

Wu Jingzhan immediately became serious and said, "This case is indeed very strange, but our government office has some documents and case information. I will ask someone to send it to you tomorrow. Oh, by the way, Lao Qi, you will settle in the post office in the future? By the way, you are also a fat man in the Tianjian. Why is the post office so dilapidated? Let the superior allocate some money to build a new post office."

Wang Qilin said: "I have this idea too. When I go back, I will ask my account to apply for You Xing. At that time, I hope the two adults will help you find a suitable land to build a post office."

Wu Hanlin smiled and said, "It's easy to say."

Wu Jingzhan said: "Actually, my Wu family has a lot of land in Pingyang Mansion. Lord Yang Zuo once wanted to buy it. But the family has a ancestral teachings, and no matter how poor they are, they cannot sell land to people from other families. Due to the ancestral teachings, we may not be able to help you in this regard."

Wang Qilin was stunned and said, "Ah? Isn't that trouble?"

Wu Hanlin smiled and said, "There is always room for reversal. Aman, don't say these unpleasant words. Come on, Lao Qi, Man, let's have another cup."

They were drinking happily, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside. Xu Da said: "Master Qi, there is something wrong."

Wang Qilin said unhappily: "What's the matter? Didn't you see that I and the two local fathers are busy?"

Xu Da said: "Someone reported the case and the family was haunted!"

Wang Qilin immediately pressed the table and said solemnly: "Oh? Someone is haunted at home? Come in and talk!"

Xu Da pushed open the door and saluted Wu Hanlin and the others, and then said, "It's Xiaoyuer who came to me to report, and someone is kneeling at the door of our inn."

Wang Qilin clasped his fists at Wu Hanlin and said, "My lords, I'm really sorry. The banquet is just in its excitement but encounters such a thing. But I have to go and see. After all, I just performed my duties, and the case I came to report now should be a accumulated case. I'm afraid that something weird will delay too long and will cause a major event."

Wu Hanlin said: "Go and do it quickly. I will have many opportunities to get together in the future, not a short time."

Wang Qilin walked downstairs quickly when they walked out onto the street. After Xu Da asked, "What's going on inside?"

Chen Yi said, "Did they both do anything to you?"

Wang Qilin laughed and said, "What can they do to me? The Wu family is really used to being rampant. I am a magnificent iron lieutenant. I have just come to Pingyang Mansion and have not had a sleep. They are going to win me over, and it is not an ordinary win. Do you know what they want to do?"

"do what?"

Wang Qilin smiled and said, "They said that the land they needed to rebuild the post office, and their Wu family has a ancestral teaching, and the land in the palace cannot be sold to people from other families."

Xu was surprised: "Wucao, they are so wild, want you to change your surname? Come to learn from the magistrate of Yu Ning, Wuwei, and change your surname to Wu?"

"Yes! So your mind is still very fast, and you know you'll make a mistake in the middle of the way."

"No, I'm not going to interrupt, someone really reports the case!"

Wang Qilin rushed back to the inn, but did not see anyone kneeling.

Fish mask pointed at Diwuwei and said, "They were kneeling at the door and came every day, but there was no one in the Tianjian, so they couldn't report it. Just now, my wife and sister came out and brought them in, invited them to have snacks and sugar water."

The fifth flavor has not officially opened yet. Sui Sui’s wife has nothing to do, so she has to make abacus at the door.

Seeing Wang Qilin coming, she smiled and said, "How much wine did uncle drink tonight? Do you want to drink a bowl of sobering soup?"

Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "I don't drink much, there is no need to..."

Xu Da secretly elbowed him and hurriedly interrupted: "Master Qi doesn't drink much, so he can't drink enough. If you stew sober soup, hurry up and have a bowl of it. Oh no, bring the pot. Master Qi gives us a whole life, one and half a pot of soup!"

Lady Sui pursed her lips and smiled, and brought a small pot of sobering soup.

Wang Qilin's expression was stunned on the spot.

Fortunately, this soup is very delicious.

The lady Sui Sui said to the others again: "Then I'll invite you to drink a bowl of sugar water? The freshly cooked rock sugar autumn pear juice tastes very good."

At this time, I learned that he was the Iron Guard of the Heavenly Supervisor. A group of people sitting in the room knelt down at him, with many people, including a total of ten people.

Wang Qilin helped the old man up and asked, "What happened to you?"

He observed everyone's appearance, with poor spirits, the elderly were haggard and the children were frightened. This should be a whole family. Seeing that they were wearing coolies, everyone's clothes had patches, men had dark skin and calluses, women did not apply makeup, and their hairstyles were rough.

Sure enough, an old man said with tears in his eyes: "Please help me, we bought a haunted house, and the house is haunted! It has been haunted for several days!"

"Speak slowly, what's going on?"

The lady Sui Sui lit some tribute incense on the table and added sugar water to the family. Seeing this, the children hurried to drink it.

Wang Qilin took a sip and it was sweet and not greasy. The fragrance of pears was refreshing. He took a sip of candy water and felt sweet.

The old man said, "Please check it out clearly. The young man called Run Lao Gong. A few years ago, our family came to join relatives from outside the pass. But the relatives' family was not in good condition. Fortunately, the young man and the children at home all had some strength, so they carried bags and delivered goods to people in the city, earned some money, and saved money. In the end, they married their children and bought a house half a month ago."

"I have a lot of family members and have to buy a big house, but the houses in the city are expensive, so we can't buy them. Then about half a month ago, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, someone sold a two-story wooden building. It was in the northwest corner of Tianquan Town. It was not very good, but the price was low."

"It's so that the adults know that the old man's family is a decent person and does not dare to be greedy for cheapness. At that time, he asked the seller why the house sold the house cheaply. But the seller was my eldest son's friend. He said that seeing that I had too many family members but didn't even have a house, he would pity us, and he sold half and gave it to us for this wooden building."

"The old man believed this easily and went to exchange the land deed and the house deed with him with joy, and thought he had finally had a small nest to shelter from the wind and rain."

"But who thought that this room was haunted! When we moved in, there was a lot of noise inside and outside the building! The footsteps and scolding were very noisy and scary!"

"We went to find someone, but no matter how we couldn't find someone, we asked our neighbors, but the neighbors whined and refused to see us. Instead, a child told us that people had died in this house and it was a haunted house!"

The old man burst into tears when he said this, but he probably cried too hard in the past few days, and now he can't even shed tears.

A big man said in a muffled voice: "I am a foreigner. We are bullied here. It's nothing to bully us in normal times, but we can't bully people with big things like houses. My family is reluctant to eat or wear food. After saving money, I want to buy a house. But I don't know that I bought a haunted house!"

Perhaps because of the grievances that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried.

The lady Sui Sui changed a few incense sticks, and the house also changed a fragrance.

The old man wiped his forehead and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my lady, our body smells bad when we work..."

"What are you talking about? Come here, there are a few packs of snacks here. You can accept them and go back to make your children greedy." Sui Sui's wife handed the prepared snacks, and the children each packed them, so happy that they couldn't stop talking.

Wang Qilin glanced at her and said, "Okay, take me to your house."

The old man hurriedly wanted to kneel down again, and Wang Qilin supported him and said, "I must not do this, this is my job, don't ruin me."

But his three sons still kneeled down to him very much:

"Thank you, sir, for your justice. We know that we have been to the yamen after being cheated, but the yamen is, they don't care."

"Second brother, stop talking about these things, just Lord Xie is right, don't say anything else."

Wang Qilin said: "Get up quickly and lead the way. I will definitely solve this problem for you tonight."

The whole family bowed and thanked repeatedly.

Before leaving, the children picked up the empty sugar water bowl and sniffed it carefully.

Sui Sui's wife touched their heads lovingly and said, "In the future, if you want to find food and drink, come to Auntie's place. In a few days, a child who is about the same age as you will arrive. He is a smart child and you will become friends."

The seven towns are named after the seven stars, but they are not distributed like the Big Dipper, but are clustered together, so Tianquan Town and Tianshu Town are not far away.

In addition, Wang Qilin also hired a carriage, which would be faster.

When he arrived at the northwest corner of Tianquan Town, Wang Qilin lifted the curtain and asked them to get out of the car, then asked the handlebars and said, "How much?"

He swallowed his saliva on the handlebar and said, "You can just look at it, this, this, I, I..."

Wang Qilin handed him twenty copper baht and said, "Then I'll bother you, you can go first."

He looked at them with a handlebar and quickly got in the car and left.

There are low houses around, mainly thatched huts and wooden houses. They walked through two narrow streets. Old Man Run pointed to a two-story building with seven rooms in front and said, "That's the little old man's home."
