Chapter 44: Missing Persons, Rafting Poetry Party
(After midnight, it's another new week, and I'm eager to vote for support!)
"You said Wu Laitou had been missing for a few days, and Wu Gouzi disappeared a while ago?"
At the yamen, County Magistrate Huang frowned after reading the booklet.
Aide Zhang, who acted as a master, quickly replied: "Yes."
"Why has someone reported it now after so many days?"
Aide Zhang said: "The two are both idle gangsters in the city and lonely. Who cares about their stay or stay on weekdays? It's just that yesterday, Mrs. Zhang from Zuichun Tower came to report the case and said that Gui Nu San'er was missing. Captain Zhong found some clues."
"What? The Turtle Nu San'er was also lost?"
County Magistrate Huang was surprised. Together, there were only three people.
The situation is a bit weird.
In the small county town, there are people missing one after another and there are no bodies. No matter how you look at it, it is unusual.
County Magistrate Huang felt a headache: How did he take office? There were accidents like this. First, his nephew was killed, but the criminal escaped at the beginning, so he could only deal with it with a cold breath. Before he could breathe, a case of missing population occurred.
If it cannot be handled properly, the political achievements will be worrying, and I am afraid that the black hat will not be stable.
"Aiden Zhang, what are your ideas?"
Aide Zhang pondered for a long time and said with a wry smile: "You can only send Captain Zhong to lead the yamen runners to inspect to see if you can find any clues."
County Magistrate Huang was a little dissatisfied: "Is this what you think?"
Aide Zhang lowered his voice and suddenly said, "Sir, there is a saying in the humble position. I don't know whether to say it or not."
County Magistrate Huang said: "You and I have to be in the hall. Just say anything."
"The population is missing and confusing. I'm afraid it's not man-made, but evil demons are causing trouble!"
County Magistrate Huang was shocked and the paperweight he was holding in his hand fell to the ground, and there was a bang: The demons were at work, but it was a taboo topic.
There is an old saying: If a country is about to perish, there will be evil spirits.
Now that there is a monster, isn’t that a sign that the Xia Yu Dynasty will destroy its country? If it is spread, it will not only be a black veil but also a head will fall to the ground.
"Aiden Zhang, don't talk nonsense!"
He immediately shouted in a stern tone.
Aide Zhang knew that he was wrong and quickly shut up and stepped aside. However, some things could not be told, but they could not stop their mental activities:
A while ago, there was an incident of demons eating people in Nanyang Prefecture. They were seldom eaten by scholars. They were seen by others, which caused a lot of controversy and out of control. Now there are always people missing in the county town, and they will never see people in their lives or dead. It is inevitable that people will think about whether there are some similarities between the two.
And the biggest difference between them is that Wu Laitou and the others disappeared without witnesses.
But if there are really demons...
Aide Zhang had a cold war and dared not think about it anymore.
The Huang County Magistrate was upset and had to order Captain Zhong to come, asking him to bring more yamen runners and patrol around to see where Wu Laitou and the others were. However, during the patrol, do not make any noise, so as not to leak the news and cause panic among the people.
Captain Zhong responded and left without mentioning it.
...
Spring has passed, and a group of birds chirping, calling out the breath of summer.
The documents for admission to school were delivered to Chen Sanlang yesterday. It is Nanyang College, with an increase in the status of adulthood.
Chen Sanlang was mentally prepared for this result. Based on his performance in the Boy Test, it was expected that he would be a hyperplasia in Nanyang College. Of course, he could not go to Nanyang College and go to Jingxian County to study nearby.
But a county school and a government school have different levels and different starting points. Who is willing to give up the big and take the small if you have the conditions?
Chen Sanlang decided to go to Nanyang Prefecture to study, because it was a growth rate and he did not have to pay tuition fees. However, daily diet, even accommodation, etc., all need to be taken care of by himself. It was expensive to calculate. However, his family was in a difficult situation and it was quite difficult to support him in school.
Chen Wang had a sad look, but he thought that his son finally got a scholar and could enter school, even if he lost all his money, he had to support him in Nanyang Prefecture.
The days of entering school are not deadly, they mainly depend on the candidates' personal wishes and are quite free. In fact, the college is a free place, and scholars are not restricted in the class activities. As long as you pass the exam every year, no one will care about you.
Of course, if you perform well in the college, you will get extra points for the annual exam, which will also be beneficial for obtaining the provincial examination qualification.
These days, Chen Sanlang did not stay in the study, but ran out every day, mainly looking for a way to make a living. Although it was not very clear, he also gained something.
At the same time, he was always wary of the attack of the evil guest as the Red Carp entrusted to dream.
Fortunately, the wind was always calm, and after two days of silence, the red carp finally emerged again on a quiet night in a quiet night. He listened to Chen Sanlang's reading, but he had no dreams anymore.
On this day, He Weiyang excitedly came to the door and said: "Senior Daoyuan, the Guyuan Poetry Club in the county will hold a rafting poetry meeting tomorrow, so you can also attend."
The Xia Yu Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs. It has been preserved for a century, and it has been full of literati and poets, and its style is extravagant. Therefore, there are so many organizations such as poetry society and literature, and countless. In Jingxian, there are more than a dozen poetry society called it. Among them, Guyuan Poetry Society is one of the more famous ones. It has always been called the leader of Jingxian and has some influence.
He Weiyang is a person in the poetry club.
Some people came to absorb Chen Sanlang at the beginning, but at that time, Chen Sanlang was introverted and afraid of being lively, so he did not participate.
The rafting poetry meeting was very poetic and picturesque. In fact, everyone was riding on a dozen black-sailed boats, and someone stood on the bow and recited their poems loudly. Then the teacher invited by the poetry club conducted an audit and evaluation to determine the advantages and disadvantages.
He Weiyang said: "Senior Daoyuan, with your literary talent, as long as you participate in the poetry meeting, you will definitely stand out and make a name for yourself. As long as you have a reputation, there will naturally be people coming to ask for words and poems."
Literati value the most famous name, and no name is written. Therefore, as long as some calligraphy and painting articles are signed with the words "works of famous masters", the market will be immediately better and the value will double.
Chen Sanlang's eyes lit up. He was the most inexperienced now. Since that's the case, it's better to attend this poetry meeting. Maybe he can break a way and nodify immediately.
He Weiyang smiled and said, "Then I'll make up, I'll invite someone else."
The rafting poetry meeting was held not far away, just above the Jing River in the city. Although this river is just a tributary of the Jing River, the river water is gurgling, clear and deep, and there are many weeping willows on both sides, so the scenery is really good. In addition, a long history of the night-clear bridge can be easily painted.
The night passed quickly, and the next morning, He Weiyang came with two friends and asked Chen Sanlang to leave together.
After about half a quarter of an hour, when I arrived at the Jing River, I saw more than a dozen black-sailed boats moored in line.
"Senior Daoyuan, let's get on this ship."
Chapter completed!
