Three anecdotes

Shang Chengbi is headstrong, there is only imperial decree in the whole world, how can there be legal decree, "Where did the monstrous monk and dao come from?"

The old man waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't dare to talk nonsense, Master Chu is not a monk." The old man lowered his voice, "The master is from Ji Xigu."

Before Shang Chengbi reacted, Wei Jinleng and Jing Shanbo were startled, Shen Qixian jumped up, "Where did you come from, dare to pretend to be Ji Xigu and bluff."

Cardinal Jin said dissatisfied, "What kind of bluff, maybe, someone really came up with such a bad idea, which makes people's bones restless."

Jing Shanbo raised his eyes suddenly, his gaze was cold, "Whoever says another bad word about Ji Xigu, I—"

"How about you, is your bloodless sword about to be unsheathed again?" Cardinal Jin sneered at him.

Jing Shanbo just snorted and didn't speak.

"Old man, if you are free, can I trouble you to take us to meet that Master Chu? By the way, tell me about the corpse." Wei Jinleng asked.

"Okay." The old man agreed immediately, and explained on the road, "Our village is called Xiaoniuzhuang. The population is small, but it is also rich. But this location is an outlet, and there is a large dense forest. At night, The wind blows the leaves of the old poplar trees, making people panic. So, not many people go to the north of this village."

Shang Chengbi heard that the old man spoke clearly and understood, so he didn't interrupt and let him continue, "A month ago, our village was suddenly caught by the plague."

Shang Chengbi was shocked. This Xiaoniu village is next to Jing'an, and no one came to report the plague. It is really unreasonable. He only heard the old man say, "The pregnant women in this village all hiccup for no reason. If you don’t come down, you won’t be able to choke on steamed buns or drink water. In the village, there are old people from the grandparents’ generation who say, people who hiccup, scare them and they’ll be fine.”

Shang Chengbi nodded. Although he had never heard of such a saying, the wisdom of the people is always infinite, "In this way, we picked some children, and intentionally frightened the pregnant women while they were walking and talking. , but it doesn't work either."

"So, you all thought of this poplar forest." Wei Jin asked coldly.

"No." The old man shook his head, "People in the village begged gods and worshiped Buddha, but there was nothing they could do. In that month, there were three pregnant daughter-in-laws. One was about to give birth, the other was five months old, and the other was only conceived. This is our The root of Xiaoniuzhuang, we can’t mess with it, the doctor in the village saw that it was not working, so he asked a doctor outside, but it still couldn’t be cured, thanks to Master Chu’s bodhisattva heart—"

When Cardinal Jin heard this, he still didn't understand what it had to do with the bones buried in the field, so he listened carefully, and sure enough, the old farmer said, "Master Chu said, it's the golden fetus in Niu Dashan's wife. The old grave in the north of the village collided with the golden fetus, and the little golden boy called the police."

Shang Chengbi thought, "What a mess."

Jing Shanbo said, "Then how do you know that he is Ji Xigu?"

"Because, Master Chu gave you the elixir of Mr. Zhaolie." The old man looked at Jing Shanbo as if he was looking at an idiot, "If it wasn't for Mr. Zhaolie's elixir, which one can be cured so quickly and it is so difficult to cure?" disease."

"Then who is Master Chu?" Jing Shanbo asked urgently.

"This—" The old man was very hesitant, and Wei Jinleng was also a little anxious, "You just say it, old man."

"It's not easy to talk about it." The old man looked around and finally said, "He is the younger brother of Mr. Zhaolie, Chu Yizhong!"

As soon as he said this, Shen Qixian spit out, "Mu Mu, then your brother is called Wei Jinnuan, and Xiao Yezi's brother is called Jing Shanhou. In that case, shouldn't I be called Shen Qixian instead? It's Shen Xiyu."

Shang Chengbi also felt that it was unreliable, "Let's meet this heavy-clothed gentleman."

Mr. Yi Zhong is very respected, Niu Dashan who lives in Xiaoniuzhuang, there is a long line of people asking him for divination at the door, Shang Chengbi and the others don't startle the snake, they pretend to be merchants who come here for fame, Let Shen Qixian test the characters.

Jing Shanbo stood beside Tan Ying with his arms in his arms, as if he would kill him if he dared to talk nonsense, Shen Qixian waited in line for a long time, and finally arrived, who would have thought that the master gave him a bull-eyed stare, "We don't count strangers! "

Shen Qixian picked up a pen and wrote a big "卷" on the paper, "I am an acquaintance! The master cured the big pregnant bull for Li Jiazhuang the day before yesterday, and he once lived in my house, the master forgot ?”

Wei Jin felt helpless, and even Cardinal Jin couldn't help sighing, what kind of younger brother Xuan'an is.That master Chu snorted through his nostrils, and Shen Qixian pulled the torn paper, "Why, master won't forget it. I will. I'll write the word 'boil' to ask about marriage. My family is Shui Fate, his water got into mine, hang on—" Wei Jin Leng coughed twice deliberately, "It's the joy of fish and water, the key is this entry, um, a match made in heaven!"

"Insulting Sven, who is this?!" The master was annoyed.

"Old man." Wei Jin Leng walked out, "Dear Wei Jin Leng, I have never heard from my brother that he has a younger brother."

As soon as he said this, Tan Ying, who was in a thin shirt, put his arms around the neck of that master Chu.

"You said you are Wei Jin Leng, you are Wei Jin Leng!" The master blew on his beard, and the surrounding immediately became excited.

Jing Shanbo lifted the bangs on his forehead, revealing the bloody swallow that was about to fly, "I said I am Jing Shanbo, I am Jing Shanbo!"

Cardinal Jin suddenly looked at Shang Chengbi and smiled, Shang Chengbi was baffled by his smile, "What?"

Cardinal Jin couldn't bear it anymore, "In the future, if people don't believe you, you can take off your socks and throw them at them, and show them the brand marks on your ankle, 'I said I am Shang Chengbi, and I am Shang Chengbi!'"

Shang Chengbi raised his hand, and slapped Jin Kitty hard on the ass.

That Master Chu was still very calm, bragging and bumping into the Righteous Master, his face didn't change and his heart skipped a beat, he sat down obediently, "I didn't say that I was Jixigu Chu Yiqing's younger brother."

Jing Shanbo looked at the old man, and the villagers shouted, "You clearly said that you are from Jixi Valley, and your name is Chu Yizhong."

The old man snorted, "I come from the valley where the chicken rests. Besides, if I don't say that, how could they take those medicines. Especially the one who just got pregnant, hiccups all the time, and it's almost impossible to keep the baby gone."

Wei Jin said coldly, "Since this is the case, it is justifiable, so why did you let people bury the bones on the edge of the field?"

That Master Chu said, "Of course it's because the bones of these people collided with the golden grandson of Niu Dashan's family."

Cardinal Jin smiled slightly, "In that case, I'd like to see where the golden grandson this Mrs. Niu is pregnant with is!" The main house of Niu Dashan's family, when they want to go further in, the villagers quit.This little sister-in-law Niu is a widow, and she gave birth to Young Master Niu's posthumous son. Cardinal Jin is a man, so how can he go in casually to see it.

"Chonghua—" Shang Chengbi stopped him.

But Cardinal Jin didn't take it seriously at all, and ignored the tide-like residents behind him, and walked in. Those who entered the room knocked on the door of the little sister-in-law Niu, but there was no response after knocking for a long time.Cardinal Jin looked back at the Niu Dashan man, but the Niu Dashan man was wiping his sweat non-stop. Cardinal Jin waved his sleeves and pushed open the door. The villagers behind him rushed in, only to see a person lying down on the brick floor. , her complexion was terribly green, but she was the little sister-in-law Niu who was pregnant with her golden grandson.

Shang Chengbi's expression changed, and a past event came to his mind. Cardinal Jin leaped up, grabbed the old man who was about to leave, and asked the villagers, "Who is he from your village?"

The villagers were stunned by the scene before them, and looked at each other. It took a long time before someone said, "We don't recognize him at all."

Cardinal Jin smiled at the old man, "Why did you bury this corpse and lure us here?"

The old man blushed and did not speak. Cardinal Jin said, "I have felt something wrong since you appeared. At this time, here is a piece of barren land, and there is no place where we came to grow crops. Why do you want to?" Carry a hoe."

The old man was silent, Shang Chengbi continued, "What's more, your every word and every word leads to Jixi Valley, why is that?"

It was the one named Chu Yizhong who said, "Uncle, let's talk about the strange injustice of brother." He was pretending to be a big fairy, but now he suddenly knelt down.

When he knelt like this, the old man also knelt heavily, complaining that he was wronged. This time, Shang Chengbi and Wei Jinleng were a little surprised, and hurriedly asked Niu Dashan to clean up a room and go to the interrogation together.

"The villain is not from Xiaoniuzhuang, but from Huajiazhuang." The old man said, "This is my nephew, not Chu Yizhong, but Huadousheng."

Hua Dousheng kowtowed again, "The villain Hua Dousheng, the villain's eldest brother is Hua Dou Miao, he is an honest and responsible person."

"That is, three months ago, the villain's son, the flower bean seedlings, came out to plant crops. He didn't come back until the sun went down, so the villain asked Dousheng to look for it. Abandoned, but people can't be found." The old man said.

"Where did that go?" Shang Chengbi asked.

"The villain's son is a man of duty, and he doesn't marry a wife. He goes to the fields and goes home every day. Where else can he go?" The old man wiped away his tears as he spoke.

"Didn't you report to the government?" Shang Chengbi asked.

"I reported it, and I found it in the village." He wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose again when he said this, "there has been no whereabouts. Until three days later—" the old man couldn't continue talking.

Hua Dousheng said, "Three days later, I suddenly found my elder brother's—"

Shang Chengbi nodded, Hua Dousheng helped his uncle up, and the old man took out a brocade money bag from his arms, opened it to reveal two ingots of gold, and presented them with both hands, "Whoever wants gold, I want my son's life! "

Shang Chengbi took the money bag and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly said, "Who told you to come here?"

Both the old man and Hua Dousheng were startled. After a long time, the old man said, "We are here to avenge our grievances."

Cardinal Jin sneered, "How do you know that you can get justice if you find us? And why do you think that we will get justice for you?"

"A few bodhisattvas with a heart—" Hua Dousheng lowered his head.

Cardinal Jin smiled, "How could an honest and responsible farmer know about Ji Xigu? Even if he knew, how dare he pretend to be Ji Xigu. That Mr. Yezhao just now would not leave anyone alive under his sword. If an ordinary person was killed He pressed his sword against his neck, and I'm afraid he was scared out of his wits, how can an ordinary person be so calm. What's more, this ordinary person can also measure characters?"

"Marquis Linyuan really lives up to his reputation." The old man suddenly raised his head, "We are indeed entrusted by others, but unfortunately, the person who entrusted us has been murdered." Jing Shanbo was taken aback by the medicine bottle, "Isn't this the second senior brother's medicine bottle?"

The old man raised his head and said, "If it wasn't for Mr. Zhaolie's token, how dare we offend Ji Xigu's reputation?"

Wei Jin frowned slightly, "What's going on?" He opened the medicine bottle as he spoke, sniffed it lightly, and handed it to Shen Qixian.Shen Qi smiled casually, "It turns out that you are from the Yu family. This kind of spirit scorpion can only be found in Dacheng territory. The second senior brother once asked me to help. Except for Yu Wentai, I can't think of anyone who has been killed recently. You need to use this medicine if you hurt your hand with sword energy." He said with a smile, "You are really insidious. My second senior brother gave the medicine out of good intentions, but you pretended to be a ghost, and ruined Ji Xigu's reputation."

Shang Chengbi whispered a few words to Wu Yinglong, and the little sister-in-law Niu was carried in. Shang Chengbi said lightly, "Don't pretend. I recognized you the first time I saw you, you and that maid, the scars Exactly the same."

The Niu sister-in-law stood up, "That's right. She is my sister." She rolled up her sleeves when she said this, "My sister was three months pregnant and died inexplicably like this. There are bruises all over her body, she was murdered by someone. The empress wanted to avenge her, but she couldn't—”

Cardinal Jin laughed lightly, "It turns out that you are making a fuss about that maid named He again. I killed her, queen, what do you want to do?"
