The ghost hooked

Half a month later, in a restaurant in Zhuxian County to the north of Liang State, Qin Huai and Xiaobao ordered another pot of tea after eating their fill.

Qin Huai licked his lips, then picked up a bamboo stick to shave his teeth, obviously unsatisfied, Xiao Bao looked at his slightly protruding belly, and asked, "Let's all finish eating, let's go to the capital in a while!"

Qin Huai changed his posture, took a sip of tea, and said, "What's the rush, I'll take you to meet someone first."

Little Treasure was a little unhappy, and said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, Baigui asked me to go back and celebrate the New Year with him."

Thinking of the sickly seven messenger birds in Wuyinglou, Qin Huai immediately felt that the slow journey these days was not enough to vent his dissatisfaction. He glanced at Xiaobao and said, "Understood, I'll go out for a while, you just stay there." You are not allowed to go here, do you hear me?"

The two didn't ask for a private room, but sat in a semi-open place on the first floor. Xiaobao nodded obediently when he knew whether there were any guests from the studio on the first floor.

There was no disguise today, Xiao Bao glanced at the diners, guessing which one was a friend, at this time the shop waiter led the two of them over.

Walking closer, the waiter in the shop said: "Master is this young master."

Xiaobao met the old man's eyes, and there was surprise in his eyes.

The two people who looked at each other were carved out of the same mold, and the butler behind the master said excitedly: "Master, everyone knows that a nephew looks like an uncle, this must be the young master!"

The master also reacted. With a smile on his face and hope in his eyes, he asked, "Are you Lin Yu?"

"Are you asking me?" Xiaobao looked around, seeing no one else, and said, "My name is Xiaobao."

"Do you have a surname? Where do you live? Do you have relatives?" Although Xiaobao indirectly denied his name, the master did not give up, but asked more questions.

"I, my name is Xiaobao." Ever since he knew the specialness of Zhangcun, Xiaobao never mentioned Zhangcun's affairs to anyone, except of course Xue Baigui.

"Do you have parents?"

"No."

"You have a red birthmark on your right leg?"

"How do you know!" When mentioning the birthmark, Xiaobao was very surprised. He looked at this strange man and wanted to go up and tear his face to see if he was disguised by someone from Zhang Village. Unfortunately, this is impossible. of.

"Master, this is the young master, it must be the young master!" the butler said.

Looking at the young man in front of him, the master had a guess in his heart, and it would not be surprising if Xiaobao forgot what happened back then.

After calming down his excitement, the master sat down and said, "My name is Lin Fanghua. My nephew disappeared seven years ago. He was just ten years old. If nothing happened, he should be about the same age as you. You..."

Hearing the meaning of his words, Xiaobao asked directly: "Do you think I am your nephew?"

Looking at Lin Fanghua, who is in his 40s, but with half-white hair, Xiaobao seemed to see himself many years later, and he said: "I don't remember anything before I was ten years old."

The ages match, the marks on the body match, the blood relationship between the two is almost inseparable, Lin Fanghua's eyes turned red after hearing his words, he raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and said: "I finally found it. "

At this moment, a voice came in and asked, "What did you find?"

Hearing the sound, Lin Fanghua quickly stood up, looked at the person coming, and said with a bow: "Master Shen."

The Master Shen that Lin Fanghua spoke of was the magistrate of the county.

"En." Magistrate Shen just nodded without showing too much enthusiasm.

"My acquaintance entrusted me to take care of Xiaobao. I wonder what you want from him?" County Magistrate Shen looked at the two of them carefully and asked, "Could it be that you two are father and son?"

Lin Fanghua quickly waved her hand and said: "No, no, Mr. Shen's words are just a joke. My son has seen it before. He looks like my wife. This young man may be my nephew."

"Well, it looks like it, but I have other things to do right now. If you want to find him, you can go to General Wu Yong tomorrow."

Knowing that we could see each other again, Lin Fanghua didn't bother much. He needed time to calm down his excitement, so he said, "Then don't bother Mr. Shen," he said again, "Xiaobao, see you tomorrow."

Sitting there, Xiaobao watched the two go back and forth, wanted to interject but couldn't open his mouth, he was very anxious, when Magistrate Shen said he was going to leave, he looked at "County Shen" anxiously, obviously Looks like you have something to say.

"County Shen" whispered something in his ear, brushed his hand casually over his body, and dragged him out of the restaurant.

When he got outside, Xiao Bao said, "Qin Huai, why did you touch my acupuncture points just now?"

"Of course I'm afraid you'll talk nonsense," Qin Huai said, "With your eyesight, if you can't see my disguise, what will you do if you say outrageous words!"

Looking at Xiaobao's slightly resentful eyes, Qin Huai knew he had guessed right. He glanced back, made a gesture, and pulled Xiaobao away.

"Where are we going? Why don't we take a carriage?" Xiaobao asked.

"You wear such thick clothes that you won't be cold without riding in a carriage. Let's go!"

Half an hour later, they went to the military camps outside the county.

The "Magistrate of Shen County" was standing in front of the barracks with a ball. He took out a wooden sign from his pocket, showed it to the guards, and said, "I am the magistrate of the county. I have urgent business with your general. Go quickly." report."

The two guards in front of the door held spears in their hands, and they were stunned when they saw the other county magistrate Shen. After hearing his words, the two looked at each other, and a guard stepped forward to take the wooden sign and ran in hastily.

In the main tent of the barracks, the brave general was talking to someone, when someone outside the tent reported "General!"

"What's the matter?"

Looking at the wooden sign held in the hands of the kneeling guards, the brave general stroked his beard and said, "Isn't this the sign that Mr. Shen lost? I found it so quickly."

County magistrate Shen who was sitting beside him quickly got up, took the wooden sign and looked left and right, and said, "It is indeed mine."

General Brave's barracks is strictly managed, and he needs to hold a token to enter and leave the barracks. The magistrate Shen's barracks are specially made, which is different from that of ordinary soldiers.

"Interesting," General Yongwu asked, "Who picked up this token? Where did it get it?"

"Here," the guard replied, "Go back to the general. The guard, Mr. Dao Shen, is waiting in front of the door with a young man."

"Oh? There is another Master Shen?" "Who dares to impersonate me?" The voices of the two rang out at the same time.

County Magistrate Shen hurriedly bowed to the person on the main seat and said, "General, that person must have stolen my token."

General Yongwu said: "Master Shen, don't worry, since there is another 'Master Shen' outside, let him come in. With me here, I will naturally make the decision for you."

When Qin Huai brought Xiao Bao into the main tent, he knew he had made a mistake.

Earlier, Qin Huai went to the county government office. He had a cup of tea with the county magistrate Shen, learned how to speak and move with the surname Shen, stole a piece of clothes from him, and led Xiaobao to the barracks.

Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Shen heard that the general will return to Beijing in a few days, and planned to come to deliver some special products today, so it happened that the two of them had a drama about the true and false county magistrate.

County magistrate Shen looked at the person who came in, with a shocked expression on his face, there was someone in the world who looked so similar to him, he wondered if he was dreaming.

At this time, Xiao Bao, who had seen the situation in the house clearly, tugged Qin Huai's clothes secretly, and said in a low voice, "It's over, it's over, you see that your face looks like that old man, what should I do?"

General Wu Yong's hearing was very good, he moved his ears a little, and he heard Xiao Bao's words verbatim, and the corners of his mouth hidden under his beard slightly ticked off.

The general said: "Oh, these two Mr. Shen, which one is real and which one is fake!"

Lord Shen hurriedly said: "I am the real one." He pointed to Qin Huai who came in later, and said, "That is a counterfeit!"

"Well," the general turned around and said, "Come on, catch this fake!"

"Huh? I haven't spoken yet!" Qin Huai argued, "Master General, I am the real one!"

Seeing someone coming up to arrest Qin Huai, Xiao Bao naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. He wanted to go up to rescue Qin Huai, but Qin Huai shouted: "Xiao Bao, get out of the way, Xue Baichuan, you are going too far!"

"Shut this Xiaoxiao to the tent on the side," Xue Baichuan plucked his ears, and said, "It's really noisy!"

Seeing that the fake county magistrate was locked up, County Magistrate Shen glared at Xiaobao again, and asked, "General, why don't you detain the other one together?"

"He didn't steal your token." Xue Baichuan looked at the boy in front of him dressed like a ball, and said, "This is an old friend of mine. If Mr. Shen has nothing to do, go back earlier, don't lose it again." something."

Now that everything that should be done has been done, County Magistrate Shen has no excuses left, not to mention that these two people obviously know Xue Baichuan. There was no need for him to bother, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

When there were only two people left in the tent, Xiao Bao spoke first and asked, "Your name is Xue Baichuan, is Xue Baigui's elder brother?"

"kindness."

Xiao Bao introduced with some embarrassment: "Brother, my name is Xiao Bao."

Looking at the "brother" who suddenly appeared, Xue Baichuan frowned. This was the reason why the younger brother borrowed the Shadow Chasing Order, which seemed quite interesting.

"kindness."

Seeing that he answered, Xiao Bao hurriedly said: "Brother, that," he pointed to the outside of the account, and said: "The county magistrate..."

"Qin Huansheng may be called Qin Huai." Xue Baichuan said.

"Eh? You know."

"Well, he's a friend of mine, so it's okay." After Xue Baichuan explained briefly, he said again: "Tell me about your relationship with my younger brother, okay?"

Knowing that Qin Huai was fine, Xiao Bao reassuredly talked about his experience with Xue Baigui.

In the middle of the night, Qin Huai looked at the man in gray beside him, facing the face of County Magistrate Shen, and said, "How is the investigation going?"

"There is nothing wrong with Lin Fanghua, Xiaobao is probably his nephew."

"What about the other thing?"

"Found it. That jade pendant is an ancestral item of the semi-retired Qianye Villa." The gray-clothed man replied: "It is said that it was used by every generation of owners of Qianye Villa for engagement."

"Hiss..." Hearing these words, Qin Huai felt a toothache. He actually took such an important thing, "Can you find out where the person holding the jade pendant is..."

Before he finished asking, he heard footsteps, Qin Huai looked towards the tent door and shouted: "Who?"
