Returning to Huzhuang in a somewhat anxious mood, Jiao Na came over and said, "Sir, how is the situation with the official report?"
Chen Jianchen frowned: "What can I do? Just follow the rules."
Jiao Na said: "Daddy asked you to come over."
"Um."
It was probably Jiāo Na who told the Huangfu officials about Lu Xiyue's abduction. If this old fox could help, there would undoubtedly be many more channels to solve the problem and it would be much faster. If you wait impatiently for the government to investigate the case, you don't know what they will find.
Time will give results, and the longer it takes, the more disastrous the consequences will be. Something has happened to Xiang'er, and Chen Jianchen never wants to see anything happen to Lu Xiyue again.
In the room, Huang Fu was lying on a pillow outside. It looked like a fox with fiery red fur lying on it like a human, which gave people a weird and absurd feeling.
However, Chen Jianchen was familiar with it, so there was nothing surprising about it.
"Liu Xian, I heard something happened to Miss Lu."
"Um."
Chen Jianchen briefly explained the process of reporting to the official again.
Hearing that he ignored the rules of the government and used boxing and drums, Huangfu's eyes suddenly brightened, and then he stretched out his paws and brushed the long beard beside his mouth habitually, saying: "Liuxian's move is certainly high-spirited, but
I'm afraid that the government will take the opportunity to stumble and delay the handling of the case."
Officials protect each other, so the old official who dares to set the rules and marry money must not be a unilateral act, but represents the interest groups of the entire yamen.
At the same time, Jinao immediately interrupted: "There has been a murder and you have to collect the money first. This rule is nonsense. Sir, you played well. If I were here, I would smash the drum directly. What's the use of keeping the decorations?"
Humph, it's obviously a complaint of grievance, but you have to set up rules to collect money before you can do it. If others don't have money, then there's no way to complain?"
The imperial officer immediately glared at her.
Jiao Na did not flinch: "Dad, although Na'er promised to be obedient, she can't be so obedient without distinguishing right from wrong. Sir, are you right?"
Show your husband quickly.
The swordsman who practiced the sword laughed loudly: "Miss Huangfu's words are very pleasing to the heart. What do we do when we read the books of sages?"
Why do you read the books of sages?
This sentence is very inspiring... Why do you read the books of sages?
For fame? Seeking wealth? Fighting for power? Seizing profits?
I'm afraid these four are the main purposes for scholars all over the world to study tirelessly. What they want and hope for is nothing more than to be on the emperor's list, to have a carp jump over the dragon's gate, to honor their ancestors, and to be prosperous for the rest of their lives.
Chen Jianchen suddenly thought of Nie Zhiyuan, who left Jiangzhou and was demoted to Jinhua, Zhezhou. After he took office as the magistrate of Jiangzhou, he worked hard to govern and care for the people's livelihood. He was an upright official who was willing to make decisions for the people. He just "written a nine-fold memorial to the court."
In the end, he was demoted to eight thousand people on the Zhezhou Road at night, and finally ended up being deposed from the third-level magistrate of the state to the ninth-level county magistrate. The reason for this was definitely not just to oppose the spread of Buddhism, but must also be mixed with many other conflicts of interest.
If you excel in learning, you will become an official, but the pursuit of officialdom is sinister, far beyond the simplicity of learning.
Huangfu was suddenly moved. He sat up and said: "Liu Xian, listening to your words, I seem to know why you can cultivate your righteousness. Haha, if you can think like this, you will definitely not expect the government to solve the case and save Lu."
Girl, come out."
Chen Jianchen raised his eyebrows: "I can't wait."
"Well, what do you have to say now? Why don't you tell me?"
Chen Jianchen said in a deep voice: "Li Yifeng, from Li Daguan."
Huangfu said attentively: "Do you suspect that he did it?"
"The other party's direct purpose is to kidnap people, and Miss Lu only has Li Daguan as her enemy in Suzhou, so he will definitely be the first suspect."
Officer Huangfu blinked: "You mean to say that Miss Lu's identity has been revealed, so the other party is going to take action?"
Chen Jianchen said: "With Li Yifeng's powerful background, it is not difficult for him to find out a person's identity. What's more, Miss Lu will definitely leave a lot of clues when she returns to her hometown to pay homage to her parents."
The imperial officer swiped his beard again and nodded repeatedly: "What Liu Xian said is true."
Jiāo Na bulged her eyes and said: "Now that we have clues, we should act immediately. The longer Sister Lu stays in the opponent's hands, the more dangerous she will be."
This is when Huangfu asked: "Where is Song Niang? It will be easier to find someone if she is here."
Jiāo Na replied: "Na'er doesn't know where she flew to. She hasn't seen anyone in the past two or three days."
Chen Jianchen asked curiously: "Who is Song Niang?"
Jiāo Na replied casually: "Song Niang is just a bird. Well, sir, you should have seen it."
Bird Heart Chen Jianchen immediately thought of that beautiful and strange flying bird with a feather crest, white eyebrows, and an extremely long tail. So, this bird is also a monster?
No wonder its behavior is always weird.
As if he had an insight into his inner thoughts, Huangfu explained: "Song Niang is a strange bird. I got it by chance, so I used some means to enlighten her. It's not really enlightenment, it's just enlightenment."
Only half of it. Therefore, it is somewhat psychic, can speak human language, and is especially good at spying on information. Haha, I actually want to find such a bird to keep Na'er company, but I don't know how, it and Na'er are not compatible by nature.
, they often quarrel." Jinao smiled and said, "Dad doesn't understand something. The quarrel between a fox and a bird is the most interesting."
Huangfu rolled his eyes, wondering why he was using his original fox form to perform such a difficult gesture.
Chen Jianchen didn't care about this and asked: "Then where is Song Niang now?"
Jiāo Na shook her head: "I just don't know, which is strange. She is usually at the village. Where can she go? By the way, she told me a few days ago that she likes Sister Lu very much. Will she follow Sister Lu?
?”
Yilu Xiyue lived in Huzhuang for a while. She had a gentle personality and got along well with Jiao Na and others. Now that she heard that a half-demon bird also had a crush on her, she was really speechless.
The more Jiao Na thought about it, the more it sounded like that, and she said, "She must be afraid that my father and I would scold her, so she quietly followed us out of the village and into the city of Suzhou."
Chen Jianchen asked: "In that case, why didn't it help Miss Lu when she was in trouble?"
Jina said angrily: "Sir, Song Niang is just a bird. Her spiritual orifice is only half open, and her yin spirit has not yet been able to come out of her body. Apart from throwing dung in mid-air and throwing stones at people with her mouth, what can she do to others?"
?”
Chen Jianchen was dumbfounded, but he also knew that what Jina said was true. People are divided into young and old, strong and weak, and demons are equally divided. Even if some demons can enlighten themselves, they don't have much ability. For example, Sheng Yao Xiaoyi, when he first debuted, he only wore a robe.
Apart from its scary appearance, it has no merits. Even a ten-year-old child can trample it to death. Opening a spiritual orifice only means that you have spiritual intelligence and a foundation for learning spells, but your own strength cannot soar to the sky all of a sudden.
In particular, demons with weak bodies are indeed one of the "vulnerable groups".
Huangfu suddenly said: "Na'er, if your guess is correct, then Song Niang must be with Miss Lu now. The reason why she didn't fly back to report immediately was because she wanted to follow the robbers' whereabouts and find out what they would do.
Where to stay, and then come back and tell us."
Hearing this, Chen Jianchen slapped his thumb on his face and said, "Smart!"
The mountains and forests are vast and the roads are rugged. There is now a group of people walking forward in a place that was originally rarely visited. There are twelve people in total.
Oh, there should be thirteen people. Because one of them was trapped in a sack and only one of his feet was exposed.
These are a pair of very delicate feet. Perhaps due to the struggle, the shoe on one foot has fallen to someone unknown, leaving only a pure white sock.
The struggle in the previous period undoubtedly made Pirata Mabao exhausted, or he was so angry that he fainted. He was carried away by two men and could not move at all.
Twelve men, all with strong builds, were wearing tight-fitting black clothes, with their heads and faces wrapped in black scarves, and their behavior was very strange.
After walking quickly for a while, one of the men shouted: "Brother, we have come up the mountain. Can this towel be taken off? It feels uncomfortable to wrap your mouth and nose."
The leader replied: "Okay."
After receiving his permission, the men immediately took off the black scarves on their faces, revealing faces that were either fierce or cruel. Many of them even had scars on their faces, either from knife wounds or sword wounds.
They are originally mountain bandits who bring trouble to one side. There is a famous group called "Eighteen Flow Horse Thieves". The leader's surname is Wang and his given name is Yun. His origin is quite legendary. It is said that he was originally a martial arts student, but he failed to pass the exam in several subjects.
, once he insulted the instructor in the examination room and was kicked out. In anger, he gathered in the green forest and became the leader of the bandits. He led three men to block the roads and cut the paths, and robbed and killed the merchants.
After many years of baptism, there are only twelve remaining thieves. All of them are desperadoes with murder cases behind their backs, and they are all on the wanted list of the Suzhou government.
"Brother, this little girl is so damn good-looking. She's more deadly than the huākui on the entire Suzhou River. How about we... first?"
At this time, a one-eyed man with an eyepatch on his left eye said with a sinister expression.
Wang Yun, who was not tall but extremely strong, snorted coldly: "Zhou Bing, please stop making these huāhuā ideas, at least not now. Do you still want to take the thousand thousand coins offered by Li Daguan?"
After hearing the bounty of one thousand guan, Zhou Bing swallowed hard and said, "Boss, when did Mr. Li go up the mountain?"
"Tonight, besides, he said that after he finishes playing, this little lady will belong to us."
"really?"
At this time, not only Zhou Bing, but also other men showed expressions of ecstasy. When they glanced at the sack with malicious eyes, everyone felt their blood boiling when they saw the pair of fair and delicate little bras exposed.
"Brother, look, that strange bird has appeared again!"
At this time, someone suddenly shouted.
Looking in the direction he pointed, Wang Yun saw a strange bird the size of a fist standing on a bush not far away. The bird's feathers were brightly colored, emerald and green, and its long tail feathers were almost
It is equal to the length of the body, floating gracefully behind: a cluster of feathers on the top, like fire, and above the two round eyes, each is a slender white hair, like a human eyebrow, as white as snow.
The strange bird stood on a branch, looking straight at Wang Yun and others. Its green eyes revealed an indescribable coldness. It was so cold that Wang Yun couldn't help but put his hands on his waist.
