Tang Ning didn't know what other places were like. The security in Yong'an County under the jurisdiction of her father-in-law was not very good.
Less than a month after he came here, he encountered a life case, and there were countless small cases of theft and robbery.
Just now, when they were wandering on the street, the policeman named Peng Chen subdued a thief who was stealing something.
There is another thing that Tang Ning has never forgotten.
A month ago, it was probably after the original owner of this body died that he had the opportunity to occupy this body.
This is not a rebirth, but a rebirth in another sense.
Tang Ning also thought about whether in another world, this unknown scholar who unfortunately died might be living somewhere like him, full of doubts and surprises.
Of course, he had nowhere to prove this.
He once asked the beggars that in the early morning of that day, several masked men dragged the original owner of the body to the alley and beat him. He should have died at that time.
Tang Yaoyao hit him with a hydrangea wrapped in stones, creating a shelter for him, a talented wife, and a county magistrate's father-in-law. He had to be grateful to Tang Yaoyao.
Thinking about it from another way, if it weren't for those people, his soul might still be wandering somewhere, and there would be no Tangning today.
He was grateful to Tang Yaoyao, but not to those people.
Maybe it's because Tang Yaoyao has longer legs than them and he likes those with longer legs.
He was not a person who did not repay kindness. Since he had accepted the kindness from this unknown scholar, he naturally wanted to do something for him.
Moreover, he did not know the identity of those people or their purpose, so he had to treat them with caution for his own safety.
Tang Ning kept these thoughts deep in her heart and turned around to ask Peng Chen, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
Just now, when he saw the opponent subduing the thief, his movements were smooth and simple, which showed that he had good skills.
Peng Chen just nodded, cherishing words like gold.
Tang Ning thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Who is more powerful, you or Tang Yaoyao?"
Tang Ning naturally didn't believe Tang Yaojing when she said that her martial arts skills were unparalleled and she could dominate the world. However, he was very curious about how high the martial arts in this world could be.
Peng Chen looked calm and said: "I haven't been beaten before."
Tang Ning could tell from his expression that the heroine Tang, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, must not have been taken seriously by this little catcher.
Even a young detective can ignore her, so it can be seen that Tang Yaoyao only has some Kung Fu as a three-legged cat...
Before they knew it, the two of them had reached the alley where Tang Ning woke up that day.
In the corner, an old beggar was leaning against the wall, with several children surrounding him.
The old beggar held several torn thin books in his hand, waved them in front of the children, and said: "I think you are all unique martial arts wizards. I have a few secret books here. You can practice a little bit.
You can open up the two channels of Ren and Du and become a rare master in the world. How about I sell you such a good thing for ten cents?"
Of course Tangning now knows that this old beggar is an old liar. Last time, he was embarrassed by Qing'er. Even Zhong Yi reminded him several times in the past few days, telling him not to think too much and not to think too much.
What kind of fairy mountain...
He glanced at the old beggar and walked into the alley.
When the beggar in the alley saw him coming in, he immediately became energetic.
"Sir, you are here again..."
"Everyone, come here quickly, come here!"
Several beggars got up from the ground and immediately gathered around.
Tang Ning gave them some steamed buns wrapped in lotus leaves and asked, "How is it going? Is there any news?"
Several beggars took the steamed buns, and the leader smiled and said: "Sir, I have been asking people to inquire these days. As soon as there is news about the little beggar, I will inform you immediately!"
There was still no news about the little beggar. Tangning was used to it and was not in a hurry. She asked again, "Where are those people?"
The beggar showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said: "Sir, their faces were all covered with black cloth that day. Even if they appeared in front of us, we wouldn't recognize them..."
Peng Chen had been standing behind Tang Ning. Seeing how familiar he was with these beggars, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
Tangning sighed softly when she walked out of the alley.
Although he has asked the policemen in the yamen to pay more attention, these beggars are more familiar with Lingzhou City and can play a greater role. However, there has been no news these days. The little beggar must have left Lingzhou City.
It’s the state capital.
He stood at the entrance of the alley, and an angry voice reached his ears.
"Old man, you defrauded children of their money again!"
"Shameless, why didn't God send down a lightning strike to kill you!"
"Next time you dare to lie to my child, I will break your legs!"
…
After several men punched and kicked the old beggar in the corner, they took their children and walked away.
The old beggar patted the footprints on his body, picked up the thin books, shook his head and said: "I don't know the goods, I don't know the goods..."
He stood up holding on to the wall and saw a young man standing at the entrance of the alley.
The young man was looking at him.
He thought for a while, took a few steps forward, and said: "Little brother, I see that your bones are amazing. You are a unique martial arts wizard. I have a few martial arts secret books here, and I will sell them to you in ten volumes..."
"
Tangning had a piece of silver left over from buying steamed buns just now, so she threw it to him and said, "Take it to buy some food. Don't lie to children again..."
The old beggar took the broken silver, shook his head and said: "Hey, you and I are willing to do business, how can we call it cheating..."
Tangning had no time to argue with him here, so she shook her head and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
The old beggar called him from behind.
Tang Ning turned around and the old beggar handed over a few thin books in his hand and said, "You forgot your things. You bought these with your money."
Unexpectedly, this old beggar still had principles and was different from other charlatans. Tangning casually took the book and said, "Okay."
At this time, the old beggar looked him over and said in surprise: "You look familiar to me..."
Tangning's heart moved, she looked at him and asked, "Do you know me?"
The old beggar thought for a while, and suddenly a look of shock appeared on his face, and he said in disbelief: "You, aren't you dead?"
Tangning's heart skipped a beat and she forced herself to calm down: "What did you say?"
"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense..." The old beggar said to himself, shaking his head in confusion.
Tangning thought for a while, looked at him and said, "Old man, I was injured a few days ago and have forgotten many things. If you know anything, please tell me..."
The old man asked in surprise: "Have you lost your memory?"
Tangning nodded.
The old man asked again: "Do you remember that you were beaten that morning?"
Tangning shook her head.
The old man thought for a while and asked: "Do you remember who you are?"
Tangning continued to shake her head.
"Then you also forgot about the one hundred taels of silver you owed me?"
"..."
The old man thought for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Have you forgotten, I am your great-uncle. Your parents died when you were young, and I pulled you up..."
…
Tang Ning was holding a few books in her hand. When she was having dinner last night, she noticed that the table was a little wobbly. These shabby books should be just right for padding the corners of the table.
He didn't get anything useful out of the old beggar's mouth. The old beggar just happened to see those people leaving the alley that morning, so he was shocked that he came back to life.
He suppressed these thoughts, looked at Peng Chen, and asked: "Yi'an County Government, do you know anyone familiar with him?"
Lingzhou City is divided into two jurisdictions, Yong'an County Government Office and Ngee'an County Government Office occupy one side on the east and west sides respectively. In other words, half of the area in Lingzhou City is beyond the reach of his father-in-law.
It would be easier to find the little beggar if we could use the power of the two government agencies.
Peng Chen shook his head and said: "Master Zhong and the magistrate of Nghe An had a grudge in the early years. Apart from minor frictions, they have no contact in recent years."
Tangning gave up the idea for the time being, sighed, and said, "Let's go back first."
Nghe An County Government.
A yamen servant waved his hand to the woman standing in front of the yamen, wearing a hairpin and a skirt of cloth, and said impatiently: "I've told you so many times, if it's not there, it's not there. You can go look elsewhere..."
The woman was wearing a sarong with a few patches on the skirt, and her face was extremely haggard.
She looked at the yamen servant with a slightly pale face, and whispered: "Sir, when you have news about him, please tell me, I, I will come back tomorrow..."
The yamen officer looked at her and felt a little unbearable in his heart, and said, "Okay, okay, what is his name? Say it again. I will tell you when there is news."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..." A hint of joy appeared on the woman's face, and she said hurriedly: "His name is Tang Ning, Tang from Tang poetry, Ning from An Ning..."
