The sunset slanted.
When Sun Shaozong stepped out of the corner gate on the east side of Dali Temple, he felt a refreshing dampness blowing towards his face, which relieved most of his exhaustion.
Yesterday was a report, and today is the official duty. The various handover procedures and documents naturally followed one after another, and there was no idle moment for the whole day.
It was easy to get out of the cage, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He stretched a lot by the lake, ready to expel the last trace of tiredness from the body, but suddenly heard Liu Xianglian muttering from behind: "Second brother ,me… "
It was probably because he was stimulated yesterday that he changed back to a heroic cloak, and he didn't look that girly anymore - but his face was a lot uglier than yesterday.
Although the Liu family had also fallen away back then, but with the support of his aunt, he had never suffered much since he was a child. That is why, when he first encountered this mountain, it was a vulgar affair, and it was inevitable that he could not resist.
After this day, he had nearly half of his errands, and it was Sun Shaozong who helped him take care of it.
It's okay to change to someone who is skinless and faceless, but Liu Xianglian is a more sincere person, and she feels a lot of regrets in her heart.
When Sun Shaozong looked back at his tangled appearance, he rolled his eyes and said, "When you think I asked you to be a master, do you mean you are experienced and experienced? As long as you can experience it later, it will not be worthwhile for you to come to this yamen. Walked around."
After a pause, he smacked his lips again and said, "But right now, you can't really handle it by yourself—well, I'll find you a helper tomorrow, if anything goes wrong, I'll go through the details with him. "
This was said, but Zhao Nan, who was born in the Wuxi barbarian tribe.
This barbarian was already shrewd. After abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, he once worked as a swordsman for a while, and brought it to Liu Xianglian to be a helper, which is more suitable.
Liu Xianglian heard that she was going to hire a helper, but she was a little resistant at first, but thinking about her poor performance today, and she was really embarrassed to shirk, she worked hard: "Second brother, wait and see, I will get started as soon as possible. !"
After a few gossips, the two broke up in front of the door and got on their horses and carriages.
Zhang Cheng, the coachman, was about to hit his horse and whip his whip, but suddenly he saw a rich young man flashing from the side. He smiled and said: "Master Zhang, there is something I want to report to the adults, you see..."
When this person came over, Sun Shaozong had already seen it. He seemed to be kind, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"why you?"
Hearing Zhang Cheng frowning and muttering, then turning his head and whispering, Sun Shaozong suddenly realized.
It's not someone else who is blocking the way of love, it's the model he set up at the beginning - Hong Jiu, the beggar's guardian.
Back then, Hong Jiu fell off the street and was dry and full of energy. Who would have thought that in just two years, he would be as white and fat as steamed buns.
This fellow has always been sensible. He always visits the door with courtesy during the New Year and festivals, and he knows that his identity is not on the table. Even Zhao Wuwei has not asked to see him. He just dropped the gift in front of the door and left.
Today, he was unprecedented, and he went to the yamen and asked to see Sun Shaozong, thinking that there must be something important.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong ordered from the car: "Let's find a nearby tea house and talk."
Zhang Cheng agreed, turned the car and headed towards the nearest teahouse. Although Hong Jiu also came by car, how dare he show off in front of Sun Shaozong
Busy, the meatballs also seemed to be chasing behind, and ran out of breath after a few steps.
But he was tired or tired, but Gu Panjian was quite complacent—a leisurely market person who wanted to run behind Master Sun's car, he didn't have such a blessing!
Just like this, I chased all the way to the teahouse.
Sun Shaozong sat down in the middle, and Hong Jiucai hunched over to clarify his purpose: "Little man, I heard that you and Wei Tongju are investigating the lost little beggar in the city, and suddenly remembered a strange thing, maybe with It's about the case you want to investigate."
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong's spirit was lifted, and he secretly thought that this was really unintentional—Qiu Yunfei had no clues there, but he just played chess at first, and had an unexpected harvest.
So I asked what was wrong.
"The villain has a younger sister, most of whom pity the poor and the weak..."
But it turned out that Hong Jiu's godsister, Niu'er, had never forgotten her roots after being rich and rich, and had a lot of care for the old, weak, orphans among the beggars, so many little beggars were very close to her.
About this spring, when Niuer was chatting with a few little beggars, she heard a strange story, saying that there was a ten-year-old little beggar near Jixiangfang, who was suddenly reported to be dead by the security guard, but the master came to the door. When he checked it out, he was still alive and kicking.
What's even more surprising is that it didn't take long for the officials to carry away his corpse.
At that time, Niu'er thought it was strange, so she told Hong Jiu when she went back. Hong Jiu didn't know anything at the time. After all, the poor gentlemen recognized it, so what could he do with a beggar's head
But two days ago, I heard that Sun Shaozong was inquiring about the unusually lost little beggar, and there seemed to be no progress. He suddenly remembered this matter.
"The villain was also afraid that he was thinking too much, so he didn't dare to alarm the adults immediately, but sent someone to investigate secretly and found that in the past year or so, many of the little beggars under the name of Baochang Wang have died violently. of."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "And the person who came forward for the inspection has always been the head of Wei Shougen from Daxing County."
No wonder Qiu Yunfei couldn't find out anything, it turned out that the perpetrator was an inner ghost!
The sudden death of a young beggar is nothing new, but it is really unreasonable for the dignified head of the county government to check it out with his own hands every time.
Sun Shaozong wrote down Wei Shougen's name and suddenly pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk."
In a word, Hong Jiu, who was overjoyed, trembled all over.
But he still didn't dare to climb down the pole after all, and shook his head with a trembling voice: "The villain is broken, the villain is broken! How can there be a seat for the villain in front of the adults?!"
Seeing that he insisted on resigning, Sun Shaozong did not give in any more, and returned to the old question: "Have you ever checked the foundation of that Wei Bantou?"
"How dare the villain investigate the origin of the official messenger?!"
Hong Jiu first made it clear, but then said respectfully: "But the villain also inquired about it. Wei Bantou has been very generous recently, and he even bought a small and medium-sized Zhuangzi outside the city."
This guy, it's really meticulous!
Sun Shaozong asked a few more questions, and seeing that there were no other clues, he stood up and said: "I have written down this matter. After you go back, pretend that nothing happened, and don't continue to listen. As long as this news is true, Ben The official will definitely not be able to treat you badly in the future."
This is what Hong Jiutu said, but he didn't dare to take credit for it, and said that it was all thanks to the support of Master Sun to be able to be today.
As if paying homage to the Buddha, he sent Sun Shaozonggong out of the teahouse and watched the carriage disappear at the intersection.
Only then did Hong Jiu excitedly return to the private room, patting the table and shouting loudly, "Man! Quickly serve tea, serve good tea, serve the best tea in your shop!"
