Pushing open the temple door, he walked into the small temple. There were still traces of a bonfire burning in the middle of the temple. Dakui didn't pay attention unless he lowered his head to look. In addition to the marks of the bonfire, there were some stains on the ground. Many stains.
The color had darkened over time, but Da Kui, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, could tell at a glance that it was blood stains.
Da Kui knelt down and took a closer look. The blood stains had been cleaned but were not clean. Looking around, there were still many such stains. Da Kui was shocked, wouldn't all these refugees have been poisoned? Da Kui didn't waste any more time and got up and walked out.
Miao returned to the inn. Along the way, he secretly thought about who could have done this?
Dakui returned to his room in the inn, but Pan Bu followed him in. Dakui asked: "Why do you get up so early?" Pan Bu smiled and said: "I always get up early at home." Dakui nodded and asked: "This
Are you familiar with Shunyuan City?" Pan Xingyi: "I used to come to the market a lot, so I'm quite familiar with this place." Da Kui hummed and said, "It's good that you're familiar with it. I have something I need your help with, please help me find out.
Is it possible to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Meng who took office?"
Pan Bu smiled and said, "Let me give it a try." As he turned around to leave, Dakui stopped him and said, "There's no rush. It won't be too late to wait until they wake up and have breakfast together." Pan Bu smiled.
He said, "I'll just go and get some steamed buns from the front, haha." Then he went out.
As soon as Pan Bu left, Yang Xiaohu and Tian Feng entered the door. Da Kui said with a smile: "You are here just in time. We will go out to investigate separately at noon today. We must get the evidence of Liang Youcai's embezzlement. The more detailed the better. I have called Pan Bu
I’m going to inquire about Mr. Meng’s whereabouts. Once I find him, I’ll get twice the result with half the effort. Let’s go after breakfast…”
The three of them had a simple breakfast and hurried out. Da Kui first went to the ruined temple. When he arrived at the temple gate, Dakui looked around and saw a residential house a hundred steps away from the ruined temple. He walked towards the house.
go.
It happened that there was a folk woman sitting on a small stool in front of the door doing some work. Da Kui walked up to the woman and clasped her fists and said, "Sister, please..." The woman raised her head and glanced at Da Kui, then she quickly cleaned up.
Jia Shi said, "Don't ask, I don't know anything." Then he entered the door, closed it with a bang and locked the bolt.
Dakui was stunned and said, "She said she didn't know before I even asked her. It's really weird." He shook his head and sighed, and Dakui continued to search. But Dakui asked several people in succession. When they saw that Dakui was wearing official uniform and was from outside, he said,
No matter what Dakui asked, they all shook their heads and said they didn't know. Dakui couldn't help but get angry, so he went back to the inn and changed into common people's clothes before going out to inquire.
Walking on the street, Da Kui lowered his head and thought: "I think the people in the city must have been warned by the government to keep silent about everything they see and hear. They need to think of a perfect strategy." Da Kui thought about the strategy while walking, and accidentally saw the street
There was a five- or six-year-old child playing under a nearby tree. He was wearing a green jacket, gray cloth trousers, and tiger-head shoes. The most ridiculous thing was that he only had a teapot lid-like hairstyle on his head. This was
The piece of hair on the top of the head is only about the size of a palm and is shaped like a peach, and all the surrounding hair has been removed.
The child was squatting on the ground, holding a wooden stick and poking at the ants on the ground. While playing, he was saying nursery rhymes: "Little boy, sit on the door post, cry for a wife, have a big head and a small neck, only eat and don't work."
….”
When Da Kui heard this nursery rhyme, he couldn't help but think of his childhood and couldn't help but smile. Da Kui looked around and saw that there was no one around. He took the opportunity to walk up and squat in front of the child and asked: "What are you playing?"
"The child raised his head. Dakui saw that the child was very cute with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain. He couldn't help but asked with a kind smile on his face: "How old is he?"
The child answered obediently: "Five years old." Not only was this child good-looking, but his voice was also clear and sweet, full of childishness. Dakui asked again: "Where is your mother?" The child replied: "At home." Dakui asked: "Where is your father?
?” The child replied: “I went to work.” Da Kui asked again: “Where is your home?” The child pointed behind Da Kui, indicating that his family lived across the street.
Dakui thought to himself that he would not take this step if he was not forced to do so. He smiled and said: "Let's be good friends." The child smiled and said: "Okay, my father said that more friends lead to more paths." Dakui couldn't help but chuckle.
Laughing, this little kid is smart, cute and really lovable.
Dakui stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance and said, "There is a candy seller over there. Let me treat you to a candy seller." Unexpectedly, the child said, "My mother said that if someone asks you to eat candy on the street, you are a bad person." Dakui said
After a while, he immediately changed his words and said: "Then let me treat you to fragrant rice cakes." The boy is small after all, and his mouth is always greedy. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "Well, I like to eat fragrant rice cakes the most." Dakui laughed and said
: "Okay, I'll treat you to some fragrant rice cakes. Come and hold me in your arms so you can walk faster."
The child was obedient, and he really let Da Kui hold him in his arms and walked toward the far side of the long street. On the way, the child pointed the way to Da Kui: "There is something for sale ahead on the right." Da Kui stepped forward and walked forward, thinking, 'Hurry up.
I bought fragrant rice cakes and sent the children to the inn. It was almost noon, and it was time for Tian Feng, Xiaohu and the three of them to come back.
Arriving at a small shop selling rice cakes, Da Kui said to the boss: "Shop, please bring five kilograms of fragrant rice cakes." The shop owner was busy in the shop, and it was almost noon and there were many diners. He turned around and saw the child in Da Kui's arms.
He couldn't help but stopped his work and came over. He looked Da Kui up and down and asked, "What do you do? Whose family does this child belong to?" Da Kui said hurriedly: "Oh, I am this child's uncle. I brought the child here to buy fragrant rice cakes.
hehe."
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper threw away the rag in his hand, came over, grabbed Dakui by the collar and said angrily: "I am the child's uncle, why don't I know you?"
"Ah?" Da Kui couldn't help but froze there. The store owner snatched the child away and gently put it on the ground and said, "Go find your aunt." The child turned around and made a face at Da Kui, then ran into the store. Da Kui then
At that time, Dakui was dumbfounded: "Such a five-year-old child is so ghostly, could it be a monster?" But Dakui quickly changed his mind and said: "Misunderstanding, this matter is purely a misunderstanding."
But the store owner said resolutely: "Misunderstanding? I think you want to kidnap people. Come on, follow me to see the official."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Da Kui's collar and wanted to go to the Yamen for comment. Da Kui had no choice but to take out his wallet from his arms, took out a couple of silver coins and stuffed it into the hands of the shop owner and said: "A small meaning is not disrespectful, shopkeeper, please accept it." The shopkeeper saw it.
Yinzi couldn't help but let go of his hand, played with the small piece of silver and said with a smile: "Well, you are quite sensible, I won't embarrass you, you can go."
Da Kui asked with a smile: "I wonder how much money this small store can make in a month?" Seeing Da Kui's lavish spending, the store owner immediately changed his face and said: "My small store only makes a small profit, but I can make a consistent profit in a month."
Sir, what do you think?" Dakui said with a smile: "If you want to make money, please come to Shunyuan Inn and we will discuss it slowly."
