Perhaps they all had something on their minds, so Jiang Ergou and the others did not choose to stay in Luochuan City for too long. Except for Lin Yuanhuan, who was a little unhappy, Jiang Ergou and the others packed their bags neatly.
leave.
As for why Jiang Ergou didn't choose to go to Longyou County, Lingzhou now to see the ruins of their Jiang family, firstly, he was afraid that if someone saw this in the past, he would be alarmed, and secondly, he was afraid that he could not face the ruin of his family now.
The fact of genocide.
Jiang Ergou seems to be very free and easy no matter what he does now, but in fact there are two things that he has never really let go of in his heart! One is that his master died on the side of the East China Sea, and the other is that he was still an infant.
The hatred of annihilation in the family.
Although he doesn't blame Wang Jianqing for the former, sooner or later he will go to Southern Tang to compete with him, just like his master back then, he will go whether he wants to or not! And for the latter, he will definitely kill people with his sword.
There is no reason to ignore the family feud after practicing swordsmanship for so many years! If that's the case, what's the point of practicing with this broken sword?
On the second day after arriving in Luochuan City, Jiang Ergou and Zheng Longhui had a drink and left. Zheng Longhui expressed to Jiang Ergou that he wanted him to help with activities in Beijing, and Jiang Ergou naturally listened.
Come out, his original intention is not to do such a thing, but this world is a troubled world. If he doesn't do it, Zheng Longhui will find someone else. If Zheng Longhui doesn't do it and someone else does, then he will never get ahead.
day!
In fact, sometimes there are many people and many things that we cannot judge right from wrong just based on their appearance, let alone beat them all to death with a stick! If we could judge people's good and evil at a glance, then we would still have to deal with the life and death book of the Lord of Hell.
Well.
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Ergou slowly nodded under Zheng Longhui's expectant eyes. However, Zheng Longhui's eyes did not show the expected joy. Instead, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
But it didn't take long for him to raise his head again. Things were not as usual, and it was good to have a clear conscience. He thought Zheng Longhui was not incompetent, so what was wrong with asking someone to do some activities?
The rising sun was rising in the east, and the sunlight had not completely pierced the sky and was shining on Luochuan City. Jiang Ergou and the others took advantage of the last minute of night before dawn and walked out of Luochuan City.
But they didn't know that shortly after they left the city, a group of six-door police officers led by a hundred households also left the city on horseback and disappeared.
…
In the county government hall of Baoshan County, Yuanshan County, the county magistrate and the master sat opposite each other. At this time, both of them looked a little relaxed and happy, as if they were surviving after a disaster.
"Sir, we finally sent away the officials from the county. This time we got a total of seven thousand taels of silver in!"
The county magistrate took a long breath and said softly.
"Silver is nothing. You should be glad that your head hasn't been moved yet. Not to mention that so many people died this time, and all the bandits were allowed to run away. If it weren't for these seven thousand taels of silver,
We have already boarded the prison car and went to the county town with the official."
The county magistrate took the strong tea that had just been brewed on the table, took a shaky sip and said.
"The position is dead, but the person is not. As long as the person is alive, are you afraid of not having money? It's only seven thousand taels. You can get it back in a year. But if your life is gone, you can't guarantee that you will have it back in the next life.
Can you be reincarnated as a human being?"
After glancing sideways at the master, the county master changed to a more comfortable position and lay on the chair and said.
"Didn't I give a hint to the shopkeeper who was full of customers yesterday? He didn't send anyone to deliver money today?"
The master stood up from his position with a flattering look on his face, and then took out from his arms the two large banknotes that had been passed around in their hands several times.
"The county magistrate is really clever. He just used a little trick to get back the one thousand taels. But since the nephew of the shopkeeper who has a full house has escaped, I don't think he will feel that the one thousand taels of silver is wasted.
Already."
After taking the silver note from the master's hand, the county magistrate had no sadness or joy in his eyes, as if he was holding two pieces of ordinary waste paper instead of a thousand taels of silver note.
"I have said that no matter what you do, especially making money, you must pay attention to the trick. I know exactly how much wool each sheep in Baoshan County has, when to take it and how much wool to take.
, I won’t take action to get an extra point, but I won’t allow them to bargain.”
"Yes, yes, my lord is absolutely right. If it weren't for this time..."
Just when the master was about to give a few more compliments, a sudden burst of noise came from outside the county government office.
"Go and see what's going on in front of you, and report back as soon as you find out."
"Yes, sir!"
They had just seen off the official servants from the county, and immediately there was a commotion again. Some bad premonitions suddenly appeared in the county magistrate's heart, and his heart was also worried.
Master left
Afterwards, the county magistrate felt a little restless in his seat. In the end, he was so anxious that he was circling around the room, and he could even hear his own heartbeat.
However, this state did not last long. The master came back just as quickly as he left. The only difference was that he walked out before, but now he was kicked back.
"Ouch! Bang!"
Along with the master's cry of pain, the sound of the door breaking reached the ears of the county magistrate. However, at this time, the county magistrate had no time to feel sorry for the two expensive doors, because he was behind the master.
He saw the type of person he least wanted to see—a six-door policeman.
"Your Majesty, the County Magistrate, waking up so early to drink tea is really a rare and leisurely act. However, in the following days, if the Magistrate still wants to drink morning tea, he will have to go to the cell."
The hundreds of households from the six gates who came all the way from Luochuan City were not in a hurry to take action. Instead, they looked at the county magistrate in front of them with a half-smile. They had just found seven thousand taels of silver notes from the official in the county town.
, he wanted to see how much a six-door house with 100 houses was worth in front of the county magistrate!
"In front of all the adults at the six gates, how dare you call me an adult! You are really too small to be too small. However, I really don't know what crime you have committed, so you can bother several adults to come to your door in person.
Cross-examination.”
This man named Zhong from Luochuan City can be regarded as one of Zheng Longhui's capable men. Otherwise, this errand to Baoshan County would not have fallen on him. It is precisely because of Zheng Longhui's support that he
Only then did he dare to directly detain the official from the county whom he met at the city gate, and even more dare to search his body!
"I'm telling you, Lord County Magistrate, you don't know what you have done. Do you really want me to open the skylight and tell you the truth? We are all honest people, so naturally there will be honest solutions."
After hearing the meaning of the words of the strange six-door policeman in front of him, the county magistrate's eyes flashed with something different, and he quickly kicked the master on the ground.
"Are you dead? If not, why don't you go pour tea for the adults at Six Doors!"
The master reluctantly got up from the ground and ran out, while the county magistrate carefully came to Zhong Baihu's side to wait on him.
"This lord is very strange. Could it be that he is working as an errand in the county? Your lord has a bright future!"
Zhong Baihu still looked like he was smiling but not smiling.
"I come from Luochuan City."
A trace of astonishment flashed across the face of the county magistrate. He never thought that this incident would alarm the Six Gates Town Office in the city! However, this astonishment was quickly hidden by him, and he became more respectful.
Speaking of.
"It turns out that your Excellency is from Zhoucheng, so you must be considered a big shot in the whole Lingzhou. You, this villain, are really blind and blind to Mount Tai!"
Zhong Baihu just chuckled at this and did not answer. The two of them remained silent until the master ran back with the tea tray to break the silence.
There was only a cup of tea in the tea tray, and underneath the cup of tea was a stack of silver notes. Zhong Baihu knew just by looking at it that the stack of silver notes was no less than five thousand taels!
"The county magistrate is really good at making money. I admire this very much. The county magistrate, whose annual salary is only two hundred taels, can actually have twelve thousand taels in savings!"
The county magistrate's expression was a little unnatural.
"My lord, you are joking. In addition to my salary, I do have some other properties, but here is only five thousand taels, and there are as many as twelve thousand taels as my Lord said!"
Speaking of this, Zhong Baihu was still not in a hurry, he spoke slowly.
"Originally, I came to Baoshan County to search for some evidence of the county magistrate's crime."
Hearing this key topic, the county magistrate stretched his body forward and asked eagerly.
"Then what are you going to do now, sir?"
Zhong Baihu didn't say anything, he just picked up the tea from the tea tray brought by the master and took a sip.
Seeing his action, the county magistrate took a breath again. Generally speaking, as long as someone came to drink tea, it meant that he wanted to collect money and not talk about anything else. But Zhong Baihu was different. His next sentence was direct.
It makes the county magistrate feel like he fell into an ice cave!
"Before entering the city, I found evidence of the crimes committed by the county magistrate from an official from the county town. Also found together with these evidences was the seven thousand taels of silver that the magistrate used to buy his life!"
"boom!"
The tea cup was thrown to the ground by Zhong Baihu and broke into pieces. The county prince also fell to the ground with the tea cup, his eyes were dull and dull! Finally, the six-door Baihu who came from Luochuan City
The Lord's words fell into his ears!
"I'm more greedy than the official from the county. I want to take the money! But I also want to arrest the person!"
…
Wangyou City is the headquarters of the Xingyue Sect, so the size of the city is not much inferior to those of other prefectural cities. After all, a well-known and decent sect like the Xingyue Sect always puts face first.
The words are emphasized.
"Staff, please bring a bowl of plain noodles and a bowl of saozi noodles."
"okay!"
The bustling Luochuan city was bustling with people, and even the small noodle stalls on the roadside were full of customers.
When he heard a customer ordering noodles, the shopkeeper hurriedly took the noodles and put them into the pot without even having time to see who ordered it. The reason why his small noodle stall is so prosperous is that besides the fact that his noodles are really strong, he is always quick at work.
No matter how busy he is, he never keeps his customers waiting for too long.
"Here you come! Sir, please be patient..."
Before he finished saying the word "slowly", the shopkeeper was a little stunned on the spot, unwilling to do anything else. Mainly because the combination of the two customers sitting in his stall was a bit strange: a young monk holding a rosary and a bald head.
But he was leading a young girl!
No matter how other people think of this kind of twosome, it is extremely weird. Could it be said that today's young monks can already marry a wife?
But whether the young monk can get a wife or not, this is all the noodle seller can know. Although he is curious, he will not be stupid enough to offend his customers.
"You two gentlemen, please use it slowly."
After putting down the noodles in his hand, the shopkeeper stepped aside and rubbed his apron with his hands and looked at the two people. He was so busy just now that he didn't notice it. It wasn't until this time that he didn't have any work to do that he heard everyone around him.
Discuss these two people.
The girl felt a little embarrassed when she heard the words around her. Looking at the fragrant noodles in front of her, she was even embarrassed to reach out and take the chopsticks.
The young monk holding the rosary took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to the girl in front of him. This action made everyone around him boo in a low voice.
"Ignore worldly opinions and eat noodles."
The shy girl raised her head and glanced at the bald man in front of her, then took the chopsticks from his hand. Slowly, she was no longer afraid, and her mouth was filled with oil after eating a bowl of steamed noodles.
As for this strange pairing of a monk and a girl, I'm afraid the whole of Chu would not be able to find another pair. Apart from Qingfa and the little girl he met during the drought, there is no other possibility.
A few years have been enough for Qingfa to grow taller, so now he no longer looks like a child.
As for that girl? She has also transformed from the hairy girl back then into a slim girl. In the past few years, Qingfa's care has restored her body bones, and her originally thin body has gradually grown and become plump.
, I have to say that all the girls who have grown up are very beautiful, even this girl who suffered from drought that year is no exception.
"Why did we come to Luochuan City? When the girl was almost done eating the noodles in her bowl, she couldn't help but ask."
"Wait for a while for my cause and effect."
"oh!"
The woman agreed and continued to drink the soup, but Qingfa heard her whisper.
"I don't understand it anyway."
Watching the woman drinking soup, Qingfa couldn't help but stop eating noodles. He was eating much slower than the woman in front of him. At this time, there was still half a bowl of noodles in the bowl, but he didn't.
He wasn't in a hurry, he just watched the woman drink the soup quietly.
The girl was not aware of this at all. The store owner was kind and added a spoonful of spicy oil to the noodles. The girl was sweating profusely while dealing with the noodle soup, so she had no time to pay attention to the bald head in front of her!
Besides, what if she noticed it? She never needed to hide anything in front of him. Maybe she would laugh quietly if she noticed the bald head in front of her staring at her!
However, at this time, the thoughts of the young monk Qingfa had indeed drifted into the distance. If he was still indulging in the action of the woman drinking soup at the beginning, at this moment his thoughts had drifted back to Hanshan Temple on the bank of the Huaihe River in the south of the Yangtze River, and back to
That night he had not yet left the temple.
"Master, why can't my disciple see through the love in this world after looking at it for so long?"
…
"Actually, if you don't immerse yourself in this matter, you will never be able to see it clearly! Everything else in the world can be said to be clear to the observer and confused to the authorities. Only this matter is clear to the observer.
Even if you are confused, the authorities may not be able to figure it out.”
…
"If my disciple who celebrates the law leaves the temple and encounters an opportunity to experience love in the world in the future, then he can go to the world of mortals generously. Even if he can't escape in the end, it doesn't matter. Master will not
I blame you, as for those Buddhist scriptures and so on, just take them seriously and keep them in your heart."
As he thought about it, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of the little monk Qingfa's mouth. In the dark, he seemed to feel his master saying something in his ear!
"As a disciple of Qing Dharma, as long as the love is true and the intention is followed, it does not violate the Buddha's way."
