"Tao Zhang Lin, with your strength, if you can come to our eunuch, you will probably surpass Mr. Fang soon."
Lin Xiaodong raised his head: "No wonder he is so hostile to me. It's a pity that he thinks too much. I have no interest in getting promoted to a higher position."
Chen Shilan smiled: "You are really strange. Getting promoted and getting rich is the pursuit of all men in the world. You don't want anything, so what do you want?"
Lin Xiaodong thought for a while and said: "I want to wipe out the evil people in the world, eradicate the evildoers, and restore the right path."
If these words were said by ordinary people, they would definitely become a laughing stock, but Lin Xiaodong's magic power is so high, it is not just talk.
After hearing this, Chen Shilan couldn't help but smile appreciatively: "Then you are actually very suitable to work for our eunuch."
"The eunuch has been investigating these strange things all day long to eliminate harm for the people. As you requested, we will achieve the same goal through different paths."
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said: "Lin is free and unrestrained. He is used to being undisciplined. He can't stand this kind of overt and covert fighting. Take this Mr. Fang for example."
He didn't plan to join the eunuch, and Fang Tianrui didn't take him seriously, so he didn't care about what he said.
Chen Shilan nodded. Fang Tianrui also had a lot of dissatisfaction and smiled without saying a word.
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Miss Chen came to me so late, what do you want to say?"
Chen Shilan said: "I saw you casting spells in Nanlu City that day. I have never seen such a spell before. The demon king's treasures and moves actually passed through your body. It's amazing."
Lin Xiaodong said: "It's just a little trick."
Chen Shilan asked curiously: "Who is your teacher?"
Can you teach me this trick?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "My teacher is Linquan Taoist from the Lingquan Sect of Pingliang Mountain in Shannan Province. I can't teach you my skills."
Chen Shilan was anxious: "Why?
You teach me a move, and I'll teach you a move, and let's switch, okay?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "It's not that I don't teach you, it's that I can't teach you, because my teacher taught me the Dharma, and it was God who conveyed the meaning, not written words."
Chen Shilan opened her mouth and blinked: "How could there be such a subtle magic in this world?
Amazing!"
Lin Xiaodong said: "If Miss Chen asks me for some elixirs and treasures, I might be able to do it, but I can't teach you this technique."
Chen Shilan nodded disappointedly: "Oh... well, it's getting late, so I'll leave first. You can rest early."
During the day the next day, Shen Xuelin took Gao Anhe and others to continue visiting the stolen homes, but still found nothing.
Lin Xiaodong did not follow, but closed his eyes in the room and fell into meditation, exploring the entire Huaqing City.
It wasn't until night that he finally discovered something was wrong.
The stolen homes are concentrated in the northern part of Huaqing City, which is a strip area.
There is not a single cat in this area.
At this time, Chen Shilan knocked on Lin Xiaodong's door again.
Lin Xiaodong came to open the door, saw it was her, and asked: "How is the investigation going?"
Chen Shilan curled her lips and shook her head, her voice became hoarse when she spoke: "I didn't ask anything, everyone said the same thing."
"The door was locked and I didn't hear anything. When I got up to cook in the morning, I found that the food was gone."
Lin Xiaodong smiled mysteriously: "I probably know how this snitch stole the food from the locked room without anyone noticing."
Chen Shilan stared in surprise: "Really?
How did you do it?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "You guys went to visit during the day, while I was investigating in Dingzhong and found something fishy."
"All the stolen homes are concentrated in the northern part of Huaqing City, which is a strip area."
"And not a single cat can be seen in this area, or even in the entire northern part of Huaqing City."
Chen Shilan was confused: "Cat?
Why?
Is the cat a sperm?"
Lin Xiaodong laughed and said: "It's a mouse! It's a mouse that dug holes and stole the food!"
Chen Shilan suddenly realized it and took Lin Xiaodong's hand: "I see, go tell Mr. Gao!"
The two held hands and came to Gao Anhe's room. Fang Tianrui and Li Jiantong were also there, preparing to have a meal together.
Seeing Chen Shilan holding Lin Xiaodong's arm, Li Jiantong's eyes lit up with anger.
Chen Shilan said excitedly: "Master Gao, Taoist Lin knows what's going on!"
Gao Anhe raised his eyebrows and raised his head: "You know?
what happened?"
Chen Shilan couldn't wait to say: "It's a mouse!"
Fang Tianrui curled his lips: "Can a mouse steal the rice vat and the noodle vat?"
Chen Shilan said excitedly: "The mouse has become a spirit! It digs holes to transport the food away!"
Gao Anhe asked: "Are you sure?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I observed in Dingzhong and found that there was not a single cat in the entire area where the food was stolen."
Gao Anhe immediately thought: "The mouse turned into a spirit and scared away the cats?"
Fang Tianrui said disdainfully: "Even if it is true that a rat has become a spirit, leaving human flesh without eating human blood or drinking human blood, stealing food?"
Gao Anhe said: "Maybe it's just a matter of time.
After dinner, let’s go visit the house that was robbed.”
After dinner, a few people went to Jia Yuze's house again.
Gao Anhe asked: "Are there any mice in the house recently?"
Jia Yuze nodded: "Yes, always. Sometimes you can hear the sound of chewing wood in the middle of the night."
Chen Shilan asked: "Are there any cats around here?"
Jia Yuze hissed and said: "Don't tell me, it's really strange. There used to be wild cats everywhere on the walls on this street, and it was really scary when they barked in the middle of the night."
"But recently there are no cats left, and it is very quiet at night. My son also said that there are no cats meowing at night."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "How long did it take?"
Jia Yuze raised his head, blinked, thought for a while, and said, "It's just a matter of a month or two. There are still many cats running around in autumn."
Fang Tianrui curled his lips: "What does this mean? Maybe these cats are gone, maybe they died after eating rat poison."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Is there a mouse hole in the corner of your house?"
Jia Yuze nodded: "There must be one. There is no mouse hole. Where did the mice come from? They gnawed all the wood I piled up."
Fang Tianrui said disdainfully: "Whose family doesn't have a mouse?"
Gao Anhe glanced at Fang Tianrui and said to Li Jian, "Come find Mr. Shen."
Fang Tianrui became anxious and said to Gao Anhe: "Sir, you don't really believe what this Taoist said, do you?
mouse?
Could it be any more outrageous?"
Gao Anhe asked back: "Then do you have any better ideas?"
Fang Tianrui couldn't tell.
Gao Anhe said to Li Jian, "Go ahead."
Li Jiantong took the order and went to the county government office to find Shen Xuelin.
Jia Yuze glared and said, "What do you mean, sir, is the mice stealing the food?
How is this possible?"
Gao Anhe said: "The doors and windows of every house are locked. The only possibility is to break in, but we are not sure and need further investigation."
Several people waited in the street for a while, and Shen Xuelin followed Li Jiantong with several official officials.
Shen Xuelin raised his hands and asked, "Do you think the mouse turned into a spirit?"
Gao Anhe glanced at Lin Xiaodong and said, "It's Taoist Lin's idea. You send people to ask around to see if there is anything strange about cats and mice."
Shen Xuelin took the order and asked the officials to disperse. Gao Anhe and others returned to the post house.
