Chapter 25: A small sword slays evil, adults are angry

(The only reader group of Southern Dynasties "Nan Tianmen": 200702009, brothers and sisters who want to despise the author, whip the author, tune, and play the author, please come in!)

"If you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are rich, you will be able to help the world. The problem is, I am really poor now."

At noon, Chen Sanlang sat in a daze in his study, and could not even read the books.

It has been a while since I bid farewell to Jiang Caoqi. After this incident, the Chen family was greatly damaged. In order to manage the county government and to give Jiang Caoqi and his wife more money, Chen Wang took out most of the family's savings.

Before taking it out, the woman was worried that Chen Sanlang would have a knot, so the woman asked her son first.

Chen Sanlang's attitude was even more firm than his mother: "It must be given. When the second sister and second brother-in-law are in the most difficult time, we can help as much as we can, without any ambiguity."

Use the money out, and the Chen family is almost an empty air.

Yesterday, Xiao Cui, the only maid, hesitantly proposed to leave. Chen Wang sighed, but did not force him to stay, and even took out two stale money for her.

Xiao Cui took the money and suddenly burst into tears, saying that the wife was so kind to her, and she decided not to listen to her parents' words and wanted to stay.

When you are good at others, you can always gain a little thanks.

This makes people feel warm.

As for Uncle Hua, he had long said that he would die of old age in the Chen family and would never leave.

It is a great blessing to have a loyal servant in the family. However, it is a great deal to open the door, and everything costs money, so the pressure is really great.

Chen Wangshi regretted that when she lost her business, she did not use money to buy land, but chose her family to stay in the county town to leverage her capital, cutting off the source of income, so that she was now in trouble. After thinking about it, she bought two looms and started weaving with Xiao Cui one by one, and then Uncle Hua took it out to sell it.

Listening to the "Yiyayaya" weaving cloth, Chen Sanlang felt sad and felt useless. When this family needed someone to stand up the most, he could only sit in the study and read and write.

Reading and writing are actually a kind of life. The key is that he can stand out in the college examination and gain fame of scholars. If he cannot get fame, everything will be useless.

"You must get a scholar!"

He secretly swore in his heart that his fists were clenched with force and his pages were wrinkled.

Recently, there has been a lot of gossip in the city. The most active one is the Liu family. Mrs. Liu patted her plump chest to everyone and said she was glad that she did not agree to marry her daughter to Chen Sanlang, otherwise she would have suffered a serious crime. Without money, how can she live in the future?

The Chen family had no money to marry their daughter. Mrs. Liu suddenly lost interest, her eyes turned away, and she began to seriously consider the rich man's request for marriage.

The rich man Wang is fifty-one years old this year and is a widower. He is indeed not so decent, but he is willing to pay 300 trump cards. He has a house, a field, and gold and silver at home.

Money is the most decent, isn’t it?

When Mrs. Liu asked her daughter for her opinion, the flower-like girl shyly replied, "It depends on her parents." Mrs. Liu felt very calm and immediately asked someone to find matchmaker Wu.

The marriage was settled like this.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Sanlang. He read his books, read his fish, practiced his martial arts, and practiced his sword - the pocket-small sword that assassinated the evil wolf, new changes were made.

How to say it, it’s like a hungry person who suddenly bites a bite of delicious and soft bread, and he feels refreshed.

That's how it feels.

The wolf should be an evil and filthy existence. If the little sword kills it, it can get a lot of positive energy from it. Then the characteristics and qualities of the little sword can be imagined.

Chen Sanlang gave the sword a name, calling it "kill evil".

Sword of Evil Slay.

He likes this name very much, and believes that this sword will also like this name.

It must like, the owner raises it.

The Evil-Slaying Sword has changed, and Chen Sanlang has gone deeper into the understanding of the "Haoran Silk Book" - a damn little bit is equivalent to wandering on the threshold and unable to get pleasant satisfaction.

Under the pursuit of extreme desire, Chen Shusheng especially wanted to find a second evil wolf, or something similar. Of course, the real demon and ghost should be forgotten. He has self-knowledge, but his current level is not enough.

Since it is not enough, please continue to study. The college entrance examination is about to begin.

"Young Master, I've written to Nanyang Mansion."

Uncle Hua knocked in and handed in a letter.

The letter was written by his eldest brother-in-law Lu Da. In just a few words, it roughly means that he is busy with official business and is far away in the capital city. He may not be able to leave Jingxian to help Jiang Caoqi sue.

"Hey!"

Chen Sanlang sneered, kneaded the late letter into a ball and threw it out the window. This throw was equivalent to throwing away a relative.

"The way of the great way is to make the public, choose the wise and capable, and be faithful and harmonious... so that the elderly can have something to live, the strong can have something to use, and the young can have something to gain..."

The sound of reading is filled with ups and downs, flying out of the window and spreading to the courtyard.

In the well in the courtyard, the sound of water was clamoring, and red carp appeared. Listening quietly, the small tail swayed slightly, causing ripples.

...

"There is no news about Zhang Jia, Li and Yi?"

In the backyard of the county government office, Huang County Magistrate asked Aide Zhang with a calm face.

Aide Zhang replied: "No."

"Hmph, what's going on?"

The county magistrate was angry, and aide Zhang couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat: "The subordinates don't know much. According to the original plan, they should have a letter to report."

County Magistrate Huang felt inexplicably irritable, stood up, carried his hands on his back, and suddenly remembered something: "Where are Jiang Caoqi's friends now? And, what's wrong with his wife?"

"this……"

Aide Zhang couldn't answer.

"Why don't you send someone to investigate now!"

County Magistrate Huang slapped the wooden table.

“Yes, yes.”

Aide Zhang hurried out.

His subordinates are raising people and can mobilize the yamen forces. The result was found in less than a long time. Aide Zhang was shocked and rushed back to report immediately: "Sir, Jiang Caoqi's family and four other guests have disappeared, and the residences in Gaotian Township have been sold out..."

"What?"

County Magistrate Huang suddenly changed his color, frowned, and thought repeatedly in his mind. Based on various situations, he roughly inferred and roared: "I dare to kill the official officer. I have such a courage. Who gives them this courage!"

The roaring sounded so scared that the maid who came in was so scared that she trembled her hands and threw a cup on the floor.

"Get out of useless things!"

County Magistrate Huang was on the head of fire and kicked the maid. The maid didn't dare to scream and rolled away.

Aide Zhang swallowed: "My lord means that Jiang Caoqi and others killed Zhang Jia and Li Yi and killed Guanmao. This is a serious crime of beheading. How dare they?"

County Magistrate Huang gradually calmed down: "What can't be done by the desperate people? Investigate, and find out the truth and ask Captain Zhong to come. Also, this matter must have a lot to do with Chen Sanlang, and he must not be let go."

Captain Zhong is about 40 years old. He is not tall, but has a strong muscle. His face is always stern, cold and inhumane, and is known as the "iron captain". However, those who know the inside know that this person interrogates and investigates the case, and he doesn't blink when he puts away the money. Many people secretly call him "Zhong Paixi".

Under the commander of He County Magistrate He, he was never allowed to use it. It was not until the commander of Huang County Magistrate came to power that he made a big comeback. Everyone in the yamen knew that Captain Zhong was the confidant of Huang County Magistrate Huang.

Captain Zhong came quickly: "I have met the adults."

County Magistrate Huang didn't talk nonsense and told the reason.

After hearing this, Captain Zhong was very indignant: "Is there any national law to be brave? Sir, I will arrest Chen Sanlang now and interrogate him severely."

County Magistrate Huang waved his hand: "No for the time being."

“Why?”

Captain Zhong felt strange.

Aide Zhang coughed: "Now things are just inferences, no evidence. Besides, now that adults have just taken office, some things must be stable so as not to give people a handle on their own."

Captain Zhong was also a smart person. After thinking about it, he understood: "What should the lord do if he wants his subordinates to do, just give him instructions."

The Huang County Magistrate said: "First, we must determine the whereabouts of Zhang, Jia, Li and Yi, and then follow the clues and find out a charter. The faster the better, the better. We must hurry before the hospital examination."

He was worried that if Chen Sanlang passed the college entrance examination and officially won the scholar's reputation, it would be difficult to rectify it. The scholar did not need to kneel down when he saw the county magistrate, and the county magistrate was not allowed to punish the scholar at will. It was clearly stipulated by the law.

Captain Zhong slapped his chest: "Don't worry, sir, I'll cover it with my subordinates."

He said some more gossip and said goodbye.

When they left outside, two yamen came up: "Catcher, what do you say?"

"Just follow me."

Captain Zhong didn't say much, and took the two out of the city.

They are all old yamen and have a lot of experience in handling cases. Especially Captain Zhong, although he is accustomed to collecting money, he still has real skills.

Two officials escorted a prisoner, with a route, direction and characteristics, which was very easy to find. At noon, we found the roadside shop where Zhang Jia and Li Yi took Jiang Caoqi to stay.

The clues are also broken here.

According to the store owner, two officials escorted Jiang Cao together on the road early that morning. But when they checked forward, there were tea shops and restaurant stalls ten miles away. If Zhang Jia and the others passed by, they would definitely eat, but after asking about the tea shops and restaurant stalls, no one saw them.

Obviously, Zhang Jia and the other two did not follow the official road, but turned to another place.

But where did you go?

Captain Zhong thought for a moment and asked around, and soon found out about the mass graves, an ominous place where haunted ghosts were rumored to be rare in the crowd.

"On the same day, Zhang Jia, Li Yi and Jiang Caoqi were escorted to exile. He was ordered by the adults to tamper with the slut on the road. He originally planned to do something five hundred miles away, but were these two guys cheating and took them directly to the Wild Ghost Forest?"

Very likely.

Captain Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the Wild Ghost Forest."

The two yamen servants looked at each other and wanted to give up, but they didn't dare to speak out, so they had to follow.

The three of them arrived at the Wild Ghost Forest and did not go deep. They patrolled the outside world without finding any traces. After all, after so many days, it was windy and rainy during the period. Even if there were traces, they had been washed clean, so where could they be found?

Without clues, the case cannot be solved, and he cannot go back to work with the Huang County Magistrate. Captain Zhong was quite irritated and said to himself: "It seems that he can only find a breakthrough from Chen Sanlang. Isn't it a piece of cake to win a mere gentle scholar?"
