Dongchang needs talents like you

In the days when Yuan Juncha had no such god, Chi Ning was not even so active in doing things.

I don't know why, but I just don't have the energy to do anything.Lie idly on the recliner in the small courtyard of the East Factory all day long, the only thing that still persists is the emphasis on the Douxiang Competition.

In the past two days, more people have come to invite Chi Ning. The whole world knows that Chi Ning is not a fair and just person.As soon as he, the organizer, took office, Dongchang immediately became crowded.There was a basket full of good words, gifts piled up in a warehouse, and even the little prince, His Highness Wen Chen, came to join in the fun.

He didn't want to entrust anyone, or participated in the Fragrance Fighting Competition himself, but asked Chi Ning if anyone had opened a handicap for the ranking of the Fragrance Fighting Competition this year. He wanted to take a small gamble for fun.

In the end, Chi Ning used "what are children betting on?"

Chi Ning is really not polite at all. He has always had zero tolerance when it comes to pornography, gambling and drugs. It's useless for the little prince to act like a baby.What surprised Chi Ning was that he thought that when he rejected the prince, the prince would be angry. He never expected that the child just kicked his feet regretfully, and then left happily without knowing what he thought.

I don't know how Li Shimei taught, this child is poor and happy all day long.

Kucai hugged the big black cat, looked at all kinds of invitation cards with distress, and asked Chi Ning with an even more bitter expression: "My lord, what should we do?"

Chi Ning couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In the end, Chi Ning came up with a very shameless and unreasonable solution. He returned half of all the contributions he had made, and asked Kucai to hint to them that there are too many people who have been entrusted this year. The people who care about you can't tell who is far or near, so they can only settle for their own destiny, and it's not good to make it difficult for the loser.

If these words are only interpreted superficially, then this is what it means—everyone depends on their own abilities, and half of the contribution is the handling fee for balancing the battle situation.

But if someone insists on extending it, it is actually possible.When the future is won or lost, the champion will definitely make up his contribution again.After all, who is God, Chi Ning is God, and it doesn't mean that it is difficult for the loser, isn't it that the winner pays for it.

A few days after this matter was resolved, Jiang Zhiwei brought a brand new case to Chi Ning, but Chi Ning never really stopped for a moment.It greatly dissipated Chi Ning's boredom because of Yuan Jun's absence.

Jiang Zhiwei is no longer the admiral of Nangong Haizi. Because of several times of solving crimes and making outstanding achievements, he was treated differently by Emperor Nianping and reopened Xiantai.

Xiantai, also known as Wutai, is an individual name for the Wutai where Su Shi was involved in the "Wutai Poetry Case".

The real official signature was called Yushitai in the previous dynasty and the Metropolitan Procuratorate in this dynasty.

The censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is famous for scolding the emperor. He is a civil servant among civil servants, and his ideas are very hard.There are also eunuchs serving in the government office, but it is impossible for eunuchs to take power.It's just that Emperor Tianhe had a whim in those days, and set up a special organization composed of eunuchs under the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He didn't bother to come up with a new name, so he continued to use the nickname "Xiantai".

When Jiang Zhiwei graduated from Neishutang, he had a long talk with his master all night, and the master was so angry that he threw things all over the room, but he couldn't stop him from wanting to go to Xiantai.

The eunuch head of Xiantai is only a seventh-rank official.It was something that Tianhedi made out of nonsense when he was worried about the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Within a few years, Tianhedi was suspected of Disheng, and realized his mistake.Xiantai is like a flash in the pan, why it suddenly existed, and why it disappeared quietly.

Eunuch Zhang had seen early on that Xiantai had no future, and Jiang Zhiwei actually knew it too.

but……

"Master, no, dad, you are just like my own father. My son often listened to people's stories when he was a child. After listening to it, he only had one wish. I want to be Bao Zheng! If I can't be Bao Zheng, I want to be a censor!" "

"You are an eunuch!" Eunuch Zhang said earnestly, how can an eunuch be a censor?

"Why can't eunuchs be censors? Isn't there a Xiantai here?"

"Xiantai is not a long-term solution, I have already analyzed it for you." Eunuch Zhang had been talking with Jiang Zhiwei all night, "If you want to investigate the case, I can arrange for you to enter the East Factory. There, you can also be the master of Qingtian."

"But I want to be a censor." Jiang Zhiwei didn't want to be a spy, he just wanted to be an upright fighter, "Even if it's only for one day, I want to go!"

In the end, Jiang Zhi got his wish and went to Xiantai after being so angry with his "father" Zhang Jingzhong for this "bringing a filial son".He takes it as his responsibility to make troubles, sue this one today, scold that another tomorrow, whatever he can do, he will play No.1.It's been a censor addiction.If it weren't for the fact that "Wen dies to remonstrate, and Wu dies to fight", he might really be able to smash his head to death on the Panlong pillar of the Hall of Wuwei.

Chi Ning was able to help Xu Tianci back then, thanks to Jiang Zhiwei's relationship with Xiantai.

Jiang Zhiwei has made countless enemies because of his continuous writing.After the government office of Xiantai was completely closed, Jiang Zhiwei not only lost his job, but almost lost his life.It was Eunuch Zhang who was cursing and arranging for him to go to Nangong to avoid the limelight.

Relying on his own ability, Jiang Zhiwei regained the position of Admiral Haizi.But every day, he still does not do his job properly, insisting on fighting against the unhealthy trends in the court. Although the Xiantai is gone, his heart of censor has not disappeared.I don't know what Tianhedi thought, but he still admired Jiang Zhiwei's "nosy" and did not stop Jiang Zhiwei from appealing.

Until Tianhedi's accident, Jiang Zhiwei was about to encourage Tianhedi to restart Xiantai.

pity……

Without Tianhedi's connivance and Zhang Jingzhong's protection, everyone felt that Jiang Zhiwei was going to be afraid this time, right?No, Jiang Zhiwei is still the same Jiang Zhiwei, a fighter.It was also because of this that he was only in the middle of the day, and because of one or another reason, someone tried to put him in jail.

Later, the matter of Qushui Villa gave Jiang Zhi some inspiration, and he could do well!It also made things more active.

Chi Ning and Yu Xingchui thought together that it was better to arrange Jiang Zhiwei to investigate the case than to let him offend people in Beijing.Therefore, the two juniors tried every means to promote the restart of Xiantai, and arranged for senior brother Jiang Zhiwei to become the new director of Xiantai.The director's rank is not as high as that of the admiral, but Jiang Zhiwei is happier than when he was the admiral.

When he first received the imperial decree, Jiang Zhiwei was actually worried, not because he was worried about whether he could be competent, but because he was worried about whether Chi Ning would be unhappy if he was appointed an official by Emperor Nianping.If the junior brother is really unhappy, then, then he doesn't have to do it.

Chi Ning just touched Jiang Zhiwei's forehead and asked, "I don't have a fever, why did I start talking nonsense?"

Not only Jiang Zhiwei, but Chi Ning and Yu Xingchui's officials were also given by Emperor Nianping. Aren't everyone just asking for a living?How great it is to be able to realize Jiang Zhiwei's dream while doing Nian Pingdi.

Let's talk about the case brought by Jiang Zhiwei.

Jiang Zhiwei likes to cooperate with Chi Ning very much these years, not for anything else, but because Chi Ning can expand his ideas for him, ask about local beliefs, and have good luck blessed by a sacred tree.

But this time Chi Ning is helpless: "Shenmu has been resting recently, so there is no way to open the altar."

"No, no, no need to open the altar." Jiang Zhiwei waved his hand, "I just can't figure it out, and I want to ask you to help me figure out what's going on."

As soon as Chi Ning thought about it, he was also idle when he was idle, so he agreed to take people and Jiang Zhiwei for a walk.

They went all the way to a village near the capital, on the northern slope of Moxun Mountain, very close to Zhenjing Temple where Chi Ning had stayed before, called "Zuojiazhuang".The group of them passed Zhenjing Temple on the way to Zhuangzi. This small temple was still the same size as before, not too big or small, but it was full of incense.

It is said that Qian Xiaoyu intends to raise money and donate money to build a new temple after the Fragrance Fighting Competition. The address is set on Moxun Mountain. Many eunuchs and young eunuchs have been invited to "donate generously", and Chi Ning also contributed a share of the money. .

Qian Xiaoyu doesn't believe in Buddhism, he builds a Taoist temple, and he doesn't know how to get along with one Buddha and one Buddha on this mountain.

The thought flashed by, and Chi Ning didn't pursue it further, because Zuojiazhuang had already arrived.

On the way to Zuojiazhuang, Chi Ning first had a general understanding of the whole story of the case. The case was not big or small, but it sounded cruel.

It is said that there are two families in this Zuojiazhuang.

One family is the most common surname in the village, the surname is Zuo, and the family is surnamed You, as if they were born to be stubborn.After giving birth to seven daughters in a row, the Zuo family managed to get a precious son named Xiaobao, who is the living ancestor of the family.As for the You family, there are sons and daughters, it is an ordinary small peasant family.The two families live next to each other, and children of similar ages in the family often play together.

On this day, Zuo Xiaobao and the children from the You family went up to the mountain to play, it is said that they want to catch the first cicada in early summer.But the children didn't come back at night, and the two families panicked. The adults of the whole village held torches and set out to help find them.

In the end, all four children were found, and three lived and one died.

The one who died was Zuo Xiaobao, the only lifeblood of the Zuo family.It is said that Zuo Xiaobao insisted on reaching for a tree downhill despite the persuasion of the three children from the You family. He was sure there was a cicada there.He stumbled and rolled down the hillside. There was a trap for hunters to catch wild beasts. The child fell into it and died on the spot.

The children of the You family were terrified, and they all knew the importance of Zuo Xiaobao to the Zuo family, so they hid in the mountains all the time, not daring to go home, so they came to the whole village to look for him.

The Zuo family lost their only son, so of course they wouldn't do it, and they clamored to make the You family pay for their lives.

Because the hunter who set up the trap is the right family.

This kind of claim that the You family killed the child sounds quite unreasonable. It was just an accident and no one wanted it to happen.But the You family did blame themselves. After all, it was their own children who went up the mountain together, and it was their own trap that killed people.When Lizheng of the village came forward to mediate, the You family was also tolerant in every way, and said that apart from paying for their lives, everything else would be fine.Their family will lose money and apologize, and they will take care of themselves if they are considerate.

But after all, the surname of this village is Zuo, and Lizheng is related to Zuo's family. After the two families have dealt with each other for a long time, in addition to the condition of losing money and apologizing, they added an additional condition-the You family will have a little girl, and she will be at the funeral. Dress Zuo Xiaobao in hemp and mourning.

Among the three children from the You family who went up the mountain together, there were two little girls. Among them, the elder sister was the most sensible, and she took the initiative to stand up and said that she was willing to kowtow to apologize, not to embarrass her parents, and she did not want the two families to have a rift.She herself was indeed very guilty. She originally went up the mountain together, but failed to bring someone back with her.

If the story develops to this point, Jiang Zhiwei will not be alarmed.Many villages in Daqi still only know the patriarchal clan, but not the law of Daqi.Matters in the village should be resolved in the village. This is the tacit consensus of everyone.No matter how "magic" this mediation method is, no one can comment on it.

"But the point is, the little girl from You's family who went to apologize in sackcloth and filial piety disappeared." Jiang Zhiwei scolded fiercely, "Fuck".

Chi Ning raised his eyebrows, and almost immediately thought of a possibility: "Forced marriage?"

Jiang Zhiwei's face was very ugly. Obviously, he also thought of this.

The superstition of ghost marriage has a long history, and it cannot be changed in a day or two.The better families just find a child who died in the same accident, and the two families make up a pair, just for peace of mind, and hope that their child will not be alone if they know someone.But not all children who die young can find a suitable ghost marriage partner. At this time, a group of evil people were born, specializing in unscrupulous side businesses—since the deceased has no suitable ones, find them first. If the living are killed again, wouldn't that be enough?

Boys are not easy to do, but girls are very cheap.The most frightening thing is that there is no shortage of sales for these animal businesses.

The Zuo family seemed to give way, but in fact they wanted to let the girl from the You family be buried with them.

Now Zuo Xiaobao has been buried, but the girl from the You family is not alive or dead.This time, it was the You family's turn to quit.But crying was useless in Zuojiazhuang, so they asked someone to find a relationship and sued them in Beijing.

The You family has no connections, but You Orion once rescued a nobleman in the middle of the capital in the mountains. The nobleman has already repaid the life-saving grace, and he just came to the door with an attitude of trying. Unexpectedly, the nobleman not only remembered him, but also Very charitable, immediately let someone take his name card and invite Jiang Zhi to go over the house.

"It's a life after all."

Jiang Zhiwei immediately got angry and brought people to Zuojiazhuang to investigate the case.He was also rude, and immediately decided to dig the grave and open the coffin!Because he was very sure at the time that the little girl from the You family must be in Zuo Xiaobao's coffin.

"As a result..." Jiang Zhiwei's voice sank.

"you guessed wrong?"

"I still think it's a ghost marriage." All indications indicated that the Zuo family did just that, and they usually talked too much because they were the common surnames in the village.Once when the head of the house was drunk, he even directly said something like "My son is served by someone below".

But Jiang Zhiwei's intuition can be used as evidence that cannot be used to convict. They have to find people or corpses.

This is why Jiang Zhiwei came to Chi Ning. He wanted Chi Ning to help him think about where the Zuo family could hide the right family's daughter.If you are still alive, you can save a life.If he died, he would have to give the You family a complete explanation.

For the Zuo family, girls are worthless, but for the You family, they are still waiting for their daughter to come home.

The wife of the You family was sick with anger, and she was lying in bed for several days. After hearing about Jiang Zhiwei's visit, she insisted on getting up and crying: "Please, my lord, please save my daughter, the little woman can't think of it." I would like to serve you as your servant. If I had known today, I would not have agreed to let her go to the next door even if I was beaten to death. She is still so young..."

No matter how smart Chi Ning is, it is impossible to guess the whole story just by listening to the story.After he followed Jiang Zhiwei to Zuojiazhuang, he didn't hide anything, and directly asked Dongchang and Jinyiwei to search again.

The point is not to search, but to observe the expressions of Zuo clan members who may know the inside story.

It really made Chi Ning see a lot of clues.All the Zuo family members are generous and open to investigation, but what is hidden in their eyes is not a clear conscience, but a strange complacency, and there is a certainty that no matter how hard you search, you will not be able to find someone.

At this moment, both Chi Ning and Jiang Zhiwei's hearts sank. It seemed that the girl from the You family had little chance of being alive.

The dead are better hidden than the living.

Jin Yiwei called Zuo's family to interrogate him, but they couldn't get any new clues. His family killed him, and his attitude even had the meaning of "my son died, and your daughter was buried with him, or your family took advantage of it".Ignorant and full of malice, it's really disgusting.

Chi Ning went to You's house to inquire again, and got few new clues. The You's family said everything they could say, and recalled it over and over again. It was obviously painful, but they still insisted on facing it, just because it might be Help them get their daughter back.

The only new thing that came out was that on the day of the funeral, the eminent monks from Zhenjing Temple came.

But the eminent monk just opened the altar and chanted scriptures to save the dead, and did not do anything else.

Chi Ning arranged for people to go to Zhenjing Temple to invite people, and at the same time asked the You family to take him up the mountain to check Zuo Xiaobao's death scene.

In the courtyard of Zuo's family, Chi Ning and his party had already gathered a lot of people with the Zuo surname before they went far.One of them was timid, with wandering eyes and trembling all over, he kept asking the people around him: "Listen, I heard that it is Jinyiwei. People from the East Factory are coming here again and again. Are we really going to be okay? If was discovered..."

"As long as you shut up, you won't!" The male master of the Zuo family's face darkened.What about the big shots from Beijing?If the You family killed his son, he should pay with his life, it's only right and proper!

Chi Ning and his party went up the mountain and circled around, and saw that the beast trap set up by the right family at the bottom of the slope had been filled up, and the tree next to which Zuo Xiaobao ventured to explore was tied with white cloth and hemp rope. It was a miserable scene.Chi Ning was careful, so he went down to have a look, and in the end he found a piece of pink rag, which must have been scratched off by a branch while hiding in the bushes.

"Go and take it." Chi Ning thought the fabric was dirty, so he casually pointed to someone to pick it up.

Jiang Zhiwei took the lead and picked up the cloth first. He actually thought it was dirty, but after several years of handling the case, he has learned to be patient, and he also understands that it is best for things that seem to be key evidence to be handled by others. He takes care of it himself.

Chi Ning took a few steps away from his senior brother silently, he really couldn't bear these things, and he would not be polite at all when he allowed hypocrisy.

Then they went to Zuo Xiaobao's tomb together. The new soil had just been filled, and there was a girl from the Zuo family crying in front of the tomb. Seeing them coming, they dared not lift their eyes.

The guides of the You family guessed that the Zuo family sent people to guard and stop them because they were afraid that they would open the coffin to find someone if they disagreed.Chi Ning glanced at his senior brother, obviously he has handled so many cases, why is he still so reckless.Already alarming the snake, people will definitely be on guard.

Fortunately, the purpose of Chi Ning's visit was not to open the coffin, he just stepped forward to chat with the girl from Zuo's family.

This is no longer a little girl, she is approaching the age of marriage, she still speaks in a soft voice, she is very inferior.She occasionally choked up and cried just now.

According to the Zuo family girl, on the day of the accident, it was Zuo Xiaobao who insisted on going up the mountain with the You family's children.According to the importance the Zuo family attached to their son, one or two of the older sisters should have gone to accompany the younger brother.But that day, the Zuo family was a bit busy, busy arranging marriage proposals for the girls of the Zuo family, so they didn't have much time, Zuo Xiaobao didn't insist on having anyone to accompany him, he just kept going to catch cicadas, so he just wanted to I can rely on him.

No one thought that just such a negligence would cause irreversible results.

The matter has come to this point, and it is hard to get over the water, and the left and right families have become enemies of life and death.

After Chi Ning finished listening, he brought people back to You's house. Li Zheng had already heard the news and waited in the hall. He didn't dare to ask Chi Ning, but only dared to wait anxiously.At this moment, the eminent monks from Zhenjing Temple were also invited over.

The eminent monk wore a half-new cassock, leaning on a golden magic wand in his hand, chanting Amitabha, and his dharma name was Huiqing.

As soon as Chi Ning saw someone, he raised his eyebrows, not for anything else, just because the thing he had been looking for was right beside Master Huiqing.

Chi Ning was not polite, and said: "I have been looking for Zuo Xiaobao's soul, but I didn't expect to be detained by the mage."

Chi Ning knows that this is obsession, but the world is still more used to calling ghosts.

And, yes, Chi Ning looked around the village just to see if he could find a witness or a police officer, but the village was very clean, so clean that it made Chi Ning feel even more suspicious and angry. curious.Even Ouchi, who is deeply blessed, has such a strong obsession with behavior, but Zuojiazhuang has nothing, isn't it strange?

Now seeing Master Huiqing and Zuo Xiaobao beside him, Chi Ning realized that Zuojiazhuang is next to Zhenjing Temple, a place of pure Buddhism, and there will naturally be disciples to eliminate obsessions.

Hearing what Chi Ning said, Master Huiqing's eyes, which had been smiling all the time, finally widened a little, and then said: "Master Chi has roots of wisdom."

"Hui Gen doesn't dare to take it, it just happens to be able to see it. I don't know if the mage can make it easier for me to talk to this child?"

Jiang Zhiwei and the people around Chi Ning are no longer surprised by this. In the several important cases that Chi Ning participated in and cracked, he used some seemingly unimaginable but real and effective magical powers, and no one dared to question them anymore.

Only Jiang Zhiwei eagerly waited for his junior brother to open his eyes so that he could see too.

This time, Chi Ning has no other means.He himself can still see the obsession, and it is already under the blessing of Lord Yuan.

"Amitabha, naturally there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the left little benefactor may not be willing to speak. It's ashamed to say that the poor monk has kept the left little benefactor by his side for many days, and has been trying to save him, but he still can't find the way." Master Huiqing told Chi Ning and Zuo Xiaobao made room for them to chat.As a result, just as the old monk said, the child didn't like anything, and he only knew what he knew in his heart, and he couldn't listen to anything else.

But it has just entered summer, and the mountains are cool and cool, so where does it come from?

After Chi Ning asked a few questions and got no response, he missed Yuan Jun even more. Ruo Yuan Jun was so troublesome here, and he was agitated for no reason.Then, Chi Ning seemed to think of something suddenly, and gave his brother Jiang Zhiwei a look.

Jiang Zhiwei... handed it back again, and the tacit understanding between the brothers and sisters was gone.

"That piece of cloth." Chi Ning said helplessly.

"Oh." Jiang Zhiwei hurriedly took out the pink cloth that he had carefully put away from his arms, and carefully handed it to the air. He obviously couldn't see Zuo Xiaobao, but he still asked seriously, "Have you seen this before?" A piece of cloth?"

Chi Ning coughed, and directed his brother like a blind man: "Go a little further, to the left, that's all right, stop here and don't move."

The piece of cloth was still some distance away from Zuo Xiaobao, but he could still see it clearly.

And opened his eyes wide.

Finally, there was a different reaction.

However, what Zuo Xiaobao gave in the end was not the kind of reaction Chi Ning wanted. The child stood there with a pale face, and suddenly opened his bloody mouth, making a strange howl, which was unbearably sharp.It was too late to say it, but suddenly something sprayed out of Zuo Xiaobao's mouth and shot towards Chi Ning.

No one saw that Chi Ning was too late to dodge, and at this critical juncture——

A white sleeve waved past Chi Ning's eyes, and Chi Ning didn't need to look at it, he could feel that the thing spit out of the child was bounced back heavily, and the whistling stopped suddenly.And Chi Ning has been held in his arms by one person, and has been solemnly protected.Before seeing anyone, Chi Ning smelled the fragrance of grass and trees on the other person, which was very similar to the smell of early summer.

Behind the man in white, a group of Wangxinzhai's disciples stood with their swords in their arms, their eyes full of respect.

He asked him in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

Chi Ning looked up, and saw the other party's icy muscles and bones like a fairy, fluttering as if he was independent from the world, and he became a fairy.No need for anyone to introduce, one can already guess the otherworldly body of this person Chengyunqi and Yufeilong.

The fairy of Gushe is nothing more than that.

The author has something to say:
