Early the next morning, everyone parted ways in the hotel. Hu Xiaomo never liked to participate in such investigation activities, so naturally he would not follow Zhang Xiaowen; Yuer became an internet addicted child completely, holding his mobile phone all day long; Chen Fat After taking a day off, it was time to go to work; therefore, Zhang Xiaowen, Tu Shitou, Gao Zihan, Niu Yijun, and Zhao Dali teamed up to investigate.
It is said that there are five people, except for Zhang Xiaowen and Tu Shitou, the other three are unfamiliar foreigners and can only join in the fun. The group of people came to the Guanyin Pavilion just like that. Due to the previous fire, the reconstruction of the Guanyin Pavilion has begun, and the surrounding area is full of scaffolding. No one gathered here either.
Since it is still early, most shops have not yet opened, and the five people seem to have no idea. So after discussing with the five people, they decided to separate to find clues and gather after they found something.
Zhang Xiaowen was standing at the entrance of Guanyin Pavilion, waiting for someone to ask some questions during the construction. At this moment, a shop on the south side of Guanyin Pavilion with the "Guanyin Pavilion Barbershop" suddenly opened the shutter, and a fashionable lady walked away. After I came out, I took a stool and sat at the door to bask in the sun.
Bored, Zhang Xiaowen thought to himself: Although it is unlikely to ask for clues from this woman, there is nothing to do now, so it is better to ask. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowen walked to the pretty woman.
The pretty woman thought it was coming for business, so she quickly stood up and asked, "Handsome man, come here for a haircut so early?"
Zhang Xiaowen smiled awkwardly: "That sister, I don't have a haircut, I just want to ask some questions."
The pretty woman laughed and laughed: "I didn't want to waste time with you, but because you are so sensible, ask, sister, I will answer everything."
"Sister, how long have you been opening a barber shop here?" Zhang Xiaowen asked.
The pretty woman raised her face while thinking, and said, "It's been more than 10 years since I said less, why? Who do you want to ask?"
Zhang Xiaowen shook his head: "No, I just want to ask if you have heard the legend about Guanyin Pavilion?"
The pretty woman laughed: "Little brother, there are too many legends about Guanyin Pavilion, can you ask more about it?"
"Yes, I heard old
People often say that our Thanh Hoa City was in the shape of a scorpion before, and Guanyin Pavilion was built on the head of a scorpion, and there was a copper rooster on top of the Guanyin Pavilion, just to suppress the monsters under Thanh Hoa City. I don’t know if you have heard of it. No? "Zhang Xiaowen asked pretendingly.
When the pretty woman heard this, she frowned and began to look up and down Zhang Xiaowen: "Little brother, who did you listen to?"
"It's all told by the old people. Haven't you heard of a similar legend?" Zhang Xiaowen suddenly felt that the pretty woman might know something, so she tried to test herself.
The pretty woman chuckled: “Of course I’ve heard it. It’s said that our old Qinghua City has the same traits as a scorpion. The Guanyin Pavilion was built to keep this scorpion in check. Moreover, some monks of the Taoist priest sacred the copper rooster on the Guanyin Pavilion. That’s why the weather in Thanh Hoa City was kept smooth. I don’t know who was the one who stole the copper rooster. This is to make the whole city suffer!"
Seeing the pretty woman's delicate and indifferent expression, Zhang Xiaowen hesitated and asked, "Sister, do you not believe in such a legend?"
The pretty woman was slightly surprised and asked Zhang Xiaowen: "Which ear did you hear me saying or not to believe this? The Guanyin Pavilion is next to me, so I'm not afraid that Guanyin Bodhisattva will punish you when I hear you?"
"From your tone." Zhang Xiaowen said, thinking inwardly: If this woman really knows something, she probably won't say it easily. It seems that she has to say something "dry stuff". So he continued: "Sister, since you don't believe this, have you ever heard of a historical celebrity named Xie Zhao in Thanh Hoa City?"
When the pretty woman heard it, she tucked her hair: How did this kid know Xie Zhao? Could it be that our identities have been exposed
While the pretty woman was thinking, the handsome uncle walked out of the barbershop. Uncle Shuai seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, and as soon as he left the house, he said to Zhang Xiaowen: "Little brother, have you heard of Xie Zhao?"
When Zhang Xiaowen saw the handsome uncle, he guessed the relationship between him and the pretty woman, so he nodded: "I heard that, I heard that he married a princess, and later gave birth to a baby. I don’t know why we finally got out of Thanh Hoa City. Personal belongings have not left a trace in history."
Handsome uncle moved out
The two stools signaled Zhang Xiaowen to sit down and talk, and then said to the pretty woman: "Go get some tea, I'll have a good chat with my little brother!"
The pretty woman pouted her lips and left obediently. As soon as the pretty woman left, Uncle Shuai quietly said to Zhang Xiaowen: "Brother, let's not tell you, I also studied Xie Zhao, but it is a pity that my daughter-in-law said that I am not doing business, so I am very opposed to my research. "
Zhang Xiaowen looked at the handsome uncle, and his heart was overwhelming: This couple, one was unwilling, but the other took the initiative to say, what kind of medicine are they selling in their gourds? Anyway, let's try it out. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowen answered: "I don't know what news the eldest brother has researched? I am also very interested in Xie Zhao, but unfortunately there is no information about him, only the old man here can tell a thing or two. "
The handsome uncle nodded in agreement: "That's not it! If I hadn't heard an old man accidentally mentioning it when he was giving a haircut to him, I really don't know that there is such a person in Qinghua City. But let me tell you, about thanks Everything about Zhao is very mysterious. It is said that the princess married him in secret at the time! What is so peculiar about Xie Zhao? Even the emperor rushed to marry her daughter to him!"
Although he didn’t know the medicine in the other party’s gourd, Zhang Xiaowen could also understand that this handsome uncle was spying on his own words, so he couldn’t disclose more information. It’s better to change the direction: "By the way, you said that you stole copper. Do the rooster people also know Xie Zhao?"
When the handsome uncle heard this, he also whispered in his heart: What does this kid mean? Are you directing that he stole the copper cock? Has he already determined his identity, deliberately threatening himself with the copper cock? But what can I threaten
The handsome uncle who couldn't understand decided to continue pretending to be crazy and stupid, so he said, "How do I know this? Besides, what does the copper cock have to do with Xie Zhao?"
"Of course it does matter. The copper rooster is the town of Thanh Hoa City, and the reason why Thanh Hoa City was changed into a scorpion shape was because the princess Xie Zhao married asked for it! She thought that the old Thanh Hoa City was dilapidated, so Xie Zhao renewed it. Thanh Hoa City was renovated. After Xie Zhao's renovation, Thanh Hoa City became a scorpion. Do you think there is a relationship between them?"
