As soon as Changqiao entered the house, he shouted excitedly: "Mom and dad, look at the little bird!"
Changqiao's parents were still confused. It was just a little bird. Is it necessary to be so excited?
"Hello, uncle and auntie!" Xiaoniao spoke first.
Changqiao's father was surprised: "This is a parrot!"
Birdie: "I'm not a parrot!"
Changqiao’s mother: “Eh? How can this bird be so smart? It can also answer conversations.”
The little bird was too lazy to talk. It flew around the room and kept looking around. It flew to the wooden beams, to the hanging corn, and even flew to the head of Changqiao's father.
"Hey, this bird! Why is it so naughty?" Changqiao's father was a little helpless, but his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at the bird.
Changqiao's mother saw the bird flying around and suggested, "Let's find a cage. It's too noisy. Besides, don't let such a cute bird fly away."
The little bird was unhappy when he heard this, and flew down to peck Changqiao's mother. It didn't hurt her very much, but made Changqiao's mother even happier. "This bird is really understanding of human nature. It's a good bird."
Fenghong was speechless. Until now, her parents actually thought she was just an ordinary bird.
"Mom and dad, do you still remember the man who came to my house last time to help my mother treat her illness?" Fenghong asked.
Changqiao's mother teased the bird and said, "Remember, that's not a human! It's a god! He saved my life on the street a few days ago!" Then she picked up the corn on the table and fed it to the bird:
"Come and eat corn. That god is so amazing. He can actually use magic to stop hidden weapons flying in the air. If it hadn't been for him last time, I would have..." He said as if he was thinking of something. To be precise, he should be thinking of, "This bird
?Is it also related to him?"
"Yes, this is his bird, a magical bird. Not only can it speak, but it can also cast spells." Fenghong originally wanted to say goblin, but she always felt that it was impolite to call her goblin.
"Hey - tell me, it's actually a magical bird. I'll just tell you. No wonder you are so smart and understand human nature. Come on, tell me what your name is?" Changqiao's mother asked the little bird. She looked at the little bird with a look like
Watch a child.
"I don't have a name, what's your name?" the bird said while jumping up and down.
Changqiao wanted to catch the bird, but as soon as his hand came close, his mother slapped him hard, and he quickly pulled his hand away in pain.
The cuteness of the little bird made everyone smile, but they didn't notice that an old man outside the house was looking quietly into the house. The expression on his face slowly relaxed from the seriousness at the beginning, and finally turned and left.
Just when everyone was laughing, several uninvited guests suddenly walked in.
"What happened? I'm so happy!" The visitor spoke before he even entered the room. Hearing the familiar voice, several people were startled, and the smiles on their faces froze.
Seeing the astonishment of several people, the visitor was extremely disdainful: "What are you enjoying? Are you still laughing? You will never be able to pay back the money you owe in your lifetime!" He looked at Fenghong and sat down next to Fenghong, "I
This time I come here to give you a chance. This girl is pretty good. Give her to me, and you will still owe... I think you still owe three hundred taels."
Changqiao's father's face changed suddenly when he heard this, "Absolutely not, Magistrate Lin, my daughter is still young, how can she--"
"Shut up, give her to me. I've given you two hundred taels of gold, aren't you satisfied?"
Changqiao's father became even more confused: "But Mr. Lin, don't we only owe you more than three hundred taels?"
"Well, let me tell you, you have learned to talk back. You dug me medicine and paid me back. At that time, you agreed that if you dug less, you would be deducted if you dug slowly. The old woman fainted a few days ago. You don't know how much is missing.
?Shouldn’t I fine him a little?” Magistrate Lin was arrogant and aggressive.
"This-" Changqiao's father was so surprised that he was speechless.
Although Changqiao was young, he understood what was going on, "You evil person!"
County Magistrate Lin laughed when he heard this: "I am a wicked person, but you still have to pay back the money! It is only right to pay back debts!"
The little bird listened for a long time and couldn't stand it anymore.
He flew above County Magistrate Lin's head, looked down, and adjusted his position, so it was right here.
Paji——
"Ah!" County Magistrate Lin exclaimed, and a piece of bird droppings flew into his face unexpectedly.
Changqiao's parents were shocked. They were in trouble now, and they didn't know how much more money they would owe.
Changqiao burst out laughing and couldn't stop laughing, while Fenghong suppressed her laughter and didn't dare to laugh too loudly.
Even the few followers brought by County Magistrate Lin couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to laugh too obviously.
Magistrate Lin was so angry when he saw everyone like this, he felt that he had been humiliated and humiliated.
Shakingly, he wiped the bird shit off his face and said, "Catch this bird! I'm going to kill it!" Magistrate Lin roared angrily, shocking everyone.
Magistrate Lin's entourage all jumped up and down to catch the bird, but they couldn't catch it. Instead, they were tortured by the bird and became very embarrassed.
The Changqiao family, who were originally worried about the bird's safety, couldn't stop laughing when they saw such a funny scene.
Magistrate Lin saw that it was impossible to catch birds like this, so why not arrest people?
He grabbed Fenghong and dragged him outside, "Follow me!" Ignoring the obstruction of Changqiao's parents, he dragged the struggling Fenghong out and turned around and said viciously: "Either pay her to ransom her, or don't even think about it.
See her again."
Changqiao ran over crying and kept shouting: "Let go of my sister, let go of my sister." However, he was kicked to the ground by Magistrate Lin.
Changqiao's parents were also stopped by Magistrate Lin's entourage, and could only watch helplessly as their daughter was taken away.
When the little bird saw this situation, it panicked and ran over to save him, but Magistrate Lin took the opportunity to catch him.
"You are the only one who wants to save her? You are overestimating your own capabilities!" He said and started to use force, preparing to crush the bird to death.
The Changqiao family all took a breath of cold air and looked at it in horror and at a loss.
Fenghong shouted anxiously: "She is the divine bird of the immortal. If you kill her, aren't you afraid that the immortal will settle the score with you?"
When County Magistrate Lin heard this, he stopped, looked at the bird suspiciously, and then looked at Fenghong: "Really? Then tell me, what kind of magical method is it?"
"Let me go, let me go, you evil man." The little bird screamed while struggling, and would peck Magistrate Lin with its beak from time to time. However, a peck by the little bird on his hand was like scratching an itch for Magistrate Lin.
.
"Ouch, my God, I can still talk!" Magistrate Lin was surprised, surprised, and a little excited.
Magistrate Lin's entourage also curiously observed the bird. The bird felt a little embarrassed when he saw several people surrounding him in a circle to watch.
Magistrate Lin smiled and said: "Hello, little bird, what's your name?"
The little bird turned his head and said, "I don't talk to evil people." He turned his head back and said, "Let me go, you evil person."
"Hahahaha..." Magistrate Lin raised his head and laughed, "It's really interesting. This bird should be worth ten taels of gold, hahahaha..."
After saying that, he ignored the objections of Changqiao's parents and left with a bird and Fenghong.
Inside the county government office, the county magistrate and a group of people walked in laughing and joking, especially the county magistrate, who was the happiest. Not only did they catch Fenghong, but they also caught an interesting bird.
As soon as he entered the house, the county magistrate arranged for his men to find a good cage and at the same time ordered someone to lock Fenghong up.
After shutting the little bird in, Magistrate Lin held up the birdcage and started teasing the bird, "Come, come, come, drink some water."
The little bird still turned its head, very unhappy.
This made the county magistrate even happier.
"Come here, catch some bugs." The county magistrate was very happy as he held the cage.
Just when some people were lying in the garden catching insects, a handyman suddenly ran over in a hurry, shouting urgently as he ran: "Master, it's not good - it's not good, Master -"
The county magistrate who was amusing the birds was a little unhappy: "What are you shouting? Stupid thing!"
"Sorry, sir, King Tai'an is here." The handyman was still breathing.
"King Tai'an is here as soon as he comes. What are you in a hurry for?" The county magistrate was a little confused. After all, King Tai'an came to the house not once or twice.
"The King of Tai'an was so angry that he even brought troops."
Magistrate Lin's face suddenly tightened, and he realized that the problem must be serious, but he didn't know what happened. In the past, King Tai'an came here slowly and brought an entourage, but he never brought troops here.
Without thinking too much, Magistrate Lin hung up the birdcage and went to greet him.
As soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw King Tai'an with an angry face, as if he was here to ransack his house.
County Magistrate Lin did not dare to be careless and ran over quickly: "The King of Tai'an is here. I'm sorry that I missed you so much. I hope King Tai'an won't blame him..."
"Shut up! You don't know why I'm here?" King Tai'an looked cold.
County Magistrate Lin felt in his heart that he really didn't know what he had done wrong. Looking at King Tai'an's face, it must be something serious.
Magistrate Lin asked cautiously: "Could it be the flowers from the underground palace..."
Before County Magistrate Lin finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cold shout from King Tai'an: "You still know! It's better for you to leave such an important matter to you, just leave it to your subordinates, and you won't have to worry about it.
, have you forgotten what I told you?"
"I'm not worried, I--" County Magistrate Lin didn't know why King Tai'an was so angry about this, so he had to defend himself, but was interrupted by King Tai'an again.
"Are you still worried? What kind of worry are you having? Your thoughts are all about women!"
Magistrate Lin smiled awkwardly when he was mentioned, looked around unnaturally, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Seeing Magistrate Lin in this state, King Tai'an became even more angry. He kicked Magistrate Lin down and angrily said, "Go to the underground palace and see for yourself. Next time something like this happens, I will wash you with blood."
County government."
County Magistrate Lin turned pale with fright and trembled: "Yes, yes."
Seeing King Tai'an leaving angrily, Magistrate Lin finally felt relieved.
But he was still puzzled. Didn't the underground palace grow some medicine? How could a majestic King of Tai'an get so angry over just some medicinal materials?
No matter how expensive the medicine is, can it still be considered expensive to King Tai'an?
King Tai'an had outstanding merits and made great military exploits for the court. He was given the title of King Tai'an to guard this place. He received a lot of salary and rewards every year. However, he was only so angry about the shady medicinal materials that Magistrate Lin couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the medicinal materials.
The origin and use may not be as simple as what King Tai'an said.
