Chapter 25 My subordinates are all crouching dragons and phoenixes
Qin Shaoyou already had a countermeasure and arranged: "Xiucai, please go back to the inn and get the Heavenly King's Heart-Building Pill that we captured from Wujiabao."
"Sir, what are you doing with this medicine?" Zhu Xiucai didn't understand.
Qin Shaoyou explained: "Didn't the concierge say that Zhang Shilang's grandson was overly frightened and had symptoms of dizziness and headache? The Wu family's Heavenly King Buxin Pill was made by the great monk in Luohan Temple. It has the effect of calming the nerves and calming the fright.
Excellent, just right for his use.
As far as I know, Zhang Shilang is a person who is very polite, and after he returned home from his official career, he focused on cultivating his reputation. We sent good medicine and visited in the name of the prefect of Luocheng, so he had to see us no matter what. There was no way he would want more.
Call his direct grandson out to thank us for our kindness."
Zhu Xiucai looked surprised: "Before coming to Mianyuan County, your Excellency, you even studied the temper and character of Minister Zhang? Isn't it too much to prepare for a rainy day?"
Not only him, but also Monk Ma and all the powerful men next to him all had expressions of "You are so beautiful".
Qin Shaoyou said: "Shilang Zhang is the most powerful person in Mianyuan County, bigger than the county magistrate. If we come here to handle the case, we will definitely not be able to bypass him. Of course, we must get to know him early and get to know him more, so that we can be prepared. Okay.
, Scholar, don’t waste your time, hurry up and get the Heavenly King’s Heart-Building Pill.”
Then he named two more warriors and asked them to rush to the desert temple in the east of the city to check the situation and progress there.
After waiting outside the Zhang Mansion for a while, Zhu Xiucai came back with a box of Tianwang Xinxin Dan.
He is also a careful person, and he even went to find a beautiful wooden box to contain the elixir, so that the gift would be more upscale.
Qin Shaoyou motioned to Monk Ma to knock on the door again.
The door opened quickly.
The door was opened by the same concierge as before.
Seeing that it was Qin Shaoyou and his friends who knocked on the door again, the concierge couldn't help but frowned, a little unhappy.
"What's going on with you? Didn't I tell you just now? My little master needs to rest and will not see any guests..."
As he said that, he was about to close the door.
Qin Shaoyou stretched out his hand to block it.
"We are not here to investigate the case this time. I just heard you say that the young master of your house was too frightened. We happened to bring some Tianwang Heart-Building Pills refined by the great monk of Luohan Temple, which are most suitable for people who are too frightened. In addition, we are here
When I came here this time, I also brought a message from the prefect to the minister. Therefore, I must trouble you to pass it on."
The reason he gave this time made it impossible for the concierge to refuse. He could only say: "Then you wait here, and I will send the message to see if the master wants to see you."
"Thank you." Qin Shaoyou took back his hand.
The concierge closed the door but did not hesitate and immediately went to communicate.
Qin Shaoyou and the others waited outside the door for about a quarter of an hour before the door opened again.
The concierge greeted them: "Come in, the master wants to see you."
After saying thank you, Qin Shaoyou and the others crossed the high threshold and walked into Zhang Mansion.
A man who looked like a butler was waiting behind the door. When he saw them coming in, he didn't introduce himself. He directly greeted them: "Follow me. Don't wander around in the house." Then he turned around and walked in front to lead the way.
Qin Shaoyou and others quickly followed, looking around curiously as they walked.
I didn't realize it when I looked outside the door, but when I entered Zhang's Mansion, I realized that it was really big inside.
Corridors after corridors, yards after courtyards, and rockeries and ponds were an eye-opener for the poor people of the Demon Suppression Department.
"Good guy, how big is Shilang Zhang's family? How much money did you have to embezzle to build such a big yard?"
A strong man was amazed and envious.
Fortunately, his voice was very low, and the housekeeper of the Zhang family who was leading the way didn't hear him, otherwise he would have spit on his face.
After hearing what he said, other strong men also started talking about it.
"There must be hundreds of rooms here, right?"
"My dear, I have never seen such a big yard."
"The minister's courtyard is so big, how big must the emperor's palace be?"
"Speaking of the imperial palace, I have actually heard of it. It is said that the imperial palace is larger than a county town, with tens of thousands of rooms in it..."
"Tens of thousands of houses? Can the emperor live here?"
"You are stupid. The emperor is not alone in the palace. There are also eunuchs and maids."
"Yes, there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Your Majesty is so happy. Three thousand women sleep with one every day, and it would take seven or eight years for them to finish sleeping."
The discussion went sideways.
These guys who deal with monsters and ghosts every day and make a living on the edge of a knife are extremely bold when it comes to gossiping.
Dare to say anything treasonous or disrespectful.
"Do you think it's true that there are three thousand beauties in the harem?"
"Of course it's true. Mei Laoer from our village entered the palace and became a eunuch. His family went to the capital to visit him. After coming back, they showed off the secrets of the palace everywhere. According to Mei's family, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, which is just a few more.
."
"My dear, how good is this emperor's kidney? How many leeks and roasted kidneys do you need to eat every day?"
"You all envy the emperor, but I pity the beauties in the harem... Three thousand people, how long do you have to wait to be slept with? Usually you can only sigh for nothing?"
When Qin Shaoyou saw this group of people who did not care about life and death, the more they discussed, the more outrageous they became, and the more they discussed, the closer they got to the food market, so he hurriedly said something to stop them.
"Shut up, everyone. Can these be discussed? I don't want you to die, so don't embarrass me!"
Fortunately, although these guys were bold, they also knew some sense of propriety. They kept their discussion voices very low and were not heard by the housekeeper of the Zhang family who was leading the way. Otherwise, Qin Shaoyou would have to consider whether to silence or run away.
Monk Ma nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is right, trouble comes from your mouth. You have to control your mouth. Otherwise, learn from me to keep your mouth shut."
"That won't work. After practicing the silent chant, how can you still talk with your tongue when you go to the cat-catching alley?"
All the powerful men objected one after another, but they also kept their mouths shut and did not dare to discuss any more.
I just don’t know whether they are afraid that disaster will come out of their mouths, or whether they are afraid of having to keep their mouth shut.
One person's reaction was beyond Qin Shaoyou's expectation.
Zhu Xiucai actually did not participate in the whole discussion. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked around, as if he was observing something or remembering something.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking at?"
Zhu Xiucai whispered: "Look at the terrain and layout."
Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised: "Do you still know Feng Shui?"
"don't know."
Zhu Xiucai shook his head, still speaking in a low voice: "What I'm looking at is how to climb over the wall and enter the hospital without being caught, how to open the door and pick the lock without being discovered..."
"I……"
Qin Shaoyou almost couldn't hold back the curse.
What kind of sleeping dragons and phoenixes are these people under my command?
Shaking his head, he sighed softly: "You are lucky to have entered the Demon Suppression Department, otherwise, sooner or later, someone would have your legs broken and beaten to death."
Zhu Xiucai disagreed.
"Sir, what you say is as if you won't lose your life if you join the Demon Suppression Division. Don't forget, our Demon Suppression Division has the highest disability and reincarnation quotas every year."
Qin Shaoyou was speechless.
After passing through a courtyard, Qin Shaoyou and the others were taken to a hall by the housekeeper.
I met Zhang Shilang here.
Zhang Shilang has white hair and a fairly strong body, but Qin Shaoyou discovered through [Bright Eyes] that his energy and spirit were somewhat weak, and his blood was not very good.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s old and frail, or because he’s too sad after losing his grandson last night and hasn’t recovered yet?
Qin Shaoyou and the others presented the King of Heaven's Heart-Building Pills and said a few polite words.
Then I heard Zhang Shilang say: "Thank you for your kindness. I know that you came to visit my grandson to see my grandson and understand the situation from him. I have already sent someone to call him, but he has just escaped from trouble and is still in panic.
You can ask, but don’t bother for too long.”
Seeing his cooperation, Qin Shaoyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your understanding. We will just ask a few questions and we will definitely not delay the young master's rest."
Zhang Shilang nodded: "This is the best."
After a while, a little boy with red lips and white teeth came to the hall, accompanied by his nanny and maid.
He is none other than Zhang Shilang's grandson, Zhang Benwu.
He first greeted Mr. Zhang, and then saluted Qin Shaoyou and others.
Qin Shaoyou returned the gift and looked at it.
This inspection really made him discover the problem.
