Zhao Ran set off overnight, and the old donkey's footsteps became faster and faster, as fast as lightning. When the east turned white the next day, he arrived at Jingmingyuan, the location of the Taoist Gate in Shiquan County. What should you do if your eyesight goes black?
Of course, go to the landlord!
Tian Bao had never ridden such a fast horse... The donkey endured all the way. When he reached the end of the field, he turned over and fell to the ground. He hugged a big tree outside Jingmingyuan and vomited.
When Tian Bao got a little better, Zhao Ran asked him to drink two sips of the medicinal wine he brewed with Yangxin Dan. Tian Bao immediately felt much better.
Jingmingyuan is located in a willow forest five miles south of Shiquan County. It has not yet opened its doors and looks extremely quiet. Zhao Ran climbed up the steps and knocked on the door. After a while, the side door opened.
A fireworker layman came out to ask, and Zhao Ran said: "I am Zhao Zhiran, who is in charge of Wujiyuan. I have an urgent matter to meet with the supervisor of your hospital. Please let me know."
The three capitals of a county Taoist temple were as heaven-like to these laymen. The laymen did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly invited Zhao Ran and Tian Bao in, and then quickly went in to report.
The so-called name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. If Zhao Ran was not famous before, then since Ye Xueguan held a major meeting in the province at the beginning of the year, he has completely become famous. It can be said that the whole province knows it, let alone the same person.
It is Shiquan County in Long'an Prefecture.
Not long after, a group of Zhike and high-level officials from the Shiquan County Supervisory Office hurried out to welcome them. When they met, they shouted: "Guan Zhao, Master Zhao Xian, I finally have time to return to my hometown today to take a look! Haha!"
Zhao Ran returned the greeting: "Hello Zeng Jianyuan, hello all comrades. Zhiran did not inform you in advance, it was reckless. I hope Zeng Jianyuan will forgive me."
Zeng Jianyuan smiled and said: "Zhao Du Guan is trying to discredit me. You are the high road for our Shiquan to go out. If you can go home and walk around, it's not too late for me to be happy."
Zhao Ran said: "If Zeng Jianyuan and everyone don't give up, how about you call me Junior Brother Zhao?"
The deacons Zhike, Gao Gong, Fang Zhu and other deacons nearby all laughed and said "How dare you". A group of Taoist priests clasped their fists and bowed to each other. The scene was very lively.
Zeng Supervisor saw that Zhao Ran was accompanied by a young man, and asked hurriedly: "Which senior disciple is this little friend from? Could it be that he is a disciple of Zhao Duguan?" He no longer called him Immortal Master, but he still refused to call him Junior Brother.
To show respect.
Zhao Ran pulled Tian Bao forward, asked him to kneel down and salute, and said: "This is my secular cousin, whose name is Zhao Tianbao. I have watched him grow up."
Zeng Jianyuan hurriedly helped Tian Bao up: "It turns out to be my little friend. As expected, his face is... very good. He deserves to be a relative of Zhao Duguan." He then pulled Tian Bao cordially and asked, "My little friend, where is your Geng Geng this year? Where are you studying? I told you.
There is no marriage..."
Jingmingyuan does not have an abbot, and Zeng Jianyuan is truly the number one big shot in Shiquan County. Usually Tian Bao has only heard of it, but has never seen it. Today, Zeng Jianyuan spoke to him personally, and his face was filled with excitement.
Swollen and red.
Tian Bao slowly answered a few questions from Zeng Jianyuan, and his mentality quickly adjusted and calmed down. After looking at Zhao Ran's encouraging eyes, he suddenly started crying, knelt down again, and shouted to Zeng Jianyuan: "Return
Please ask the Taoist Master of the prison to save my parents!"
Zeng Jianyuan was immediately stunned. He pulled Tian Bao up and asked him in detail. Zhao Ran did not interrupt and allowed Tian Bao to tell the story.
After Tian Bao finished explaining the matter, Zhao Ran added: "Those people claimed to be patrolling Daomen Fangtang and they arrested Song Xiong, a layman of the pyrotechnics of Junshan Temple. They insisted that Song Xiong was a bandit. It is really strange.
"After saying that, he took out the document signed by Song Xiong as a layman of Huo Gong and handed it to Zeng Jianyuan to see.
After listening to Tian Bao's cry and taking another look at Song Xiong's signature, Zeng Supervisor said angrily: "What kind of inspection? Are you coming to our Shiquan County to arrest people under the guise of who knows where?" He rushed behind him and asked: "Yu
Master Fang, have you heard about this?"
Yu Fangzhu, who is in charge of the inspection of the Daomen in Shiquan County, said hurriedly: "I have never heard of this matter. Even if the superiors want to arrest someone, they should have informed me in advance of the Jingmingyuan Fangtang..."
Zeng Jianyuan asked again: "What's going on with Zhao Si? Does any of you know?"
It was Master Yu who replied: "The Zhao Si family is a layman from the Xizhenwu Palace, a fire worker, and is the leader of the Zhaozhuang clan. I heard that he often bullies others and is hated by his neighbors, but no one has reported it. He himself
His evil deeds were not obvious, so he was never punished."
Tian Bao wiped his tears and said: "My third brother was deprived of his land and property by his family before he became a Taoist, and he had to leave his hometown. Later, he had the opportunity to join a Taoist sect, and he used his family's money to buy some more land.
My family's life has become better. His family must have taken a fancy to my family's low income and wants to do what happened back then!"
Zeng Jianyuan stamped his feet and said: "I just arrived at Jingmingyuan the year before last. I have been in the capital. If I had known that Zhao Du was in charge of this matter, I would have taken care of it! It was too late to know, it was too late to know!
Or I don’t move around much on weekdays. It’s my fault! It’s my fault!”
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "How can this be blamed on Zeng Jianyuan? It is also the patriarch of my family who has been quite honest in the past two years, so I didn't communicate with you."
Tian Bao added: "My third brother told me not to let my parents cause any trouble to you Taoist masters, but to do things honestly and behave accordingly."
Huh? Zhao Ran was a little surprised. This kid is very smart. It's true that he took care of all aspects. It's really not easy. "Do things honestly and be a responsible person." This is what he told Song Xiong and the others.
Song Xiong must have mentioned it to the child when he came here, and he didn't want the child to learn and sell now.
Zeng Jianyuan sighed: "Guan Zhao has a noble character. He is worthy of being an immortal figure practicing in the pavilion."
At this time, the three governors of Jingmingyuan, the patrol officer, etc. also came to see him, and naturally they exchanged greetings with each other.
Zeng Jianyuan waited for Zhao Ran and the others to finish the ceremony, and immediately said: "Well, since Zhao Si said that he would sue Uncle Zhao and his family, let's go and ask Lao Ren first to see if he is there.
There, rescue the people first and then talk about the rest."
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, Zeng Jianyuan."
Zeng Jianyuan said angrily: "Where do you come from so much care? Could it be that Zhao Du doesn't care about Shi Quan as his family?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Zeng."
Only then did Zeng Jianyuan smile, and finally changed his words to treat him as a senior brother: "It doesn't matter, let's go, I will personally accompany Junior Brother Zhao to the county government office."
So, Zeng Jianyuan took the lead, leaving Sandu at home. He took the four deacons Zhike, patrol officer, Gao Gong and Fangzhu, and ordered the twenty inspectors from Jingmingyuan to patrol, riding in cars and riding horses.
Swinging towards the county seat.
When Zeng Jianyuan saw Zhao Ran riding a mangy old donkey, he asked: "Is this donkey also practicing?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "If you are extremely knowledgeable about human nature, you can travel thousands of miles in a day."
Zeng Jianyuan sighed and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, are you willing to ride with me?"
Zhao Ran nodded and got into Zeng Supervisor's car with a smile. The two chatted and laughed in the car, and talked for a while about the recent personnel changes in Xizhenwu Palace. Not long after, they entered Shiquan County and came to the county government office.
