Floating like a dream · Chasing the heart

Seeing that Zhanying was about to slap the table and smash the dishes, Xuansu quickly jumped up to act as a peacemaker, held Zhanying down, and said with a smile, "Don't be annoyed, whoever said we were going to beg for food, I've heard about the county magistrate, It seems that the surname is Feng, and he is a classmate with Mr. Liu in Kyoto. At that time, I only need to mention a nomination number, and the county magistrate will not be served by the catcher? You can just follow along and have fun. The two priests will be fine."

So... shameless?But Zhan Ying thought about it for a while, and thought it was good.Instead of sharing a bed with other people in this broken inn, it is better to sleep on a soft couch and eat good wine, maybe there will be a beautiful woman to accompany you.

Anyway, in terms of thick-skinned, with Xuan Su in the front row, he is at best a fake tiger.

After settling down, they called Qian Kun next door, and several people rushed to the county government office together.

Sure enough, County Magistrate Feng made arrangements in advance. Although the town has invited a Taoist chief, it is always better to be prepared for one thing. What's more, Bailu said the word Kunlun when he reported his family, which is a knowledgeable person. They will not drive them out of the door.

In fact, County Magistrate Feng had a second-hand plan. He had a fifteen-year-old son in his family. Although he was fed with delicious food and drink, he was not a material for studying. He was arrogant and stubborn, and his family really couldn't discipline him.I heard that there are many talented people in the Kunlun fairy mountain, and the wood can be cultivated into fairy grass there, let alone a living person?It would be great if he could take this opportunity to build a bridge with the immortals of Kunlun, and bring his son back to Kunlun to teach him before leaving.

For this reason, County Magistrate Feng also specially and carefully arranged a reception banquet to welcome several well-educated people to stay.Zhan Ying mixed with the expert, eating and drinking calmly.It's just that County Magistrate Feng doesn't know how to do it. The table is full of vegetables and soup, and he doesn't even prepare a piano player. How can this be a banquet?It's just a white funeral mat to eat.

Even Xuan Su couldn't help but want to take out a few ingots of silver and greet him with "Sorrow and change".

In the end, Zhanying couldn't bear it anymore, knocked the chopsticks in his hand and said to the county magistrate Feng who was full of smiles: "Actually, except for this little Taoist priest Bai, there is no one who needs to abide by the fast. Even this Taoist priest Lu is also a layman." Disciple. So this dish..."

"So that's how it is!" County magistrate Feng was enlightened immediately, slapped his forehead and said that he was impolite, and ordered people to go down and prepare some meat food and good wine.

Zhan Ying glanced at Lu Xuechen who did not raise any objections, and said, "It would be even better if there is another beautiful woman who can set off the atmosphere."

Lu Xuechen raised his eyes slowly, opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed it back for some reason.

Although Xuan Su didn't like that Zhan Ying always cared about women, but in front of Lu Xuechen, he somehow felt that he should cater to Zhan Ying's wishes.As for women, in the past Zhanying had a lot of contact, he could bear it, but Taoist priests might not be able to bear it.Tell the Taoist priest to see clearly the gap and boundary between himself and Zhan Ying, and get out early.

So he booed, "That's right, there are delicious food and wine, how can we lack beauties to add to the fun, let's pick a few people who know the truth and have fun!"

The three princes have spoken, how dare County Magistrate Feng not obey, but when he thinks of the unpromising son next to him, he can't look away when he sees a woman, he is afraid that he will lose his face in front of the Taoist priest, ruin his image, and order someone to call the beauty Before that, he said solemnly to his son, "You still have homework to do, go back to the study when you're full!"

Feng Ruojin, the son of County Magistrate Feng, was spitting out tasteless steamed buns. When he heard the words, he raised his head and rebelliously said to Lao Tzu: "The good wine and food haven't been served yet, how can we be full!"

County magistrate Feng wanted to slap Unxiaozi's face into a steamed bun, and stared, "Then go back to the room and do your homework while eating!"

Seeing that Bu Xiaozi got up and left the table reluctantly, he turned his head and smiled at Lu Xuechen: "I made the Daoist laugh. The child is actually very well-behaved and sensible on weekdays. It should be the first time I saw a few outstanding and charming people, and I was excited." , please don’t mind if there is any lack of etiquette..."

Lu Xuechen said without changing his face: "Your son is young and cheerful, but he has a true temperament."

Zhan Ying rolled his eyes.

County magistrate Feng let out a long sigh of relief as if he had been granted an amnesty.

After a while, accompanied by the fragrant food and wine, a row of tulle beauties filed in and danced between the banquets.

Lu Xuechen looked up, then lowered his head.Bai Lu was obviously not as strong as senior brother Ruo Ruo, looking at those dancers who couldn't avoid their bodies, his face turned red with anger, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.

Zhan Ying felt resentful, and thought to himself: The Taoist really likes women, and he clearly glanced at the leading dancer just now.

Just at this moment, the leading dancer passed by the table, and Zhan Ying pulled her to her side, "Come on, see you dance so hard, you're sweating, let's take a sip of wine first."

The dancer really knew what was going on, she smiled shyly, and poured wine into her mouth with Zhan Ying's hand.Shivered by Xuan Su's stare, he raised his eyes timidly, "This young master's eyes are so big..."

Zhanying said: "He has bigger eyes." When he said this, he glanced at the Taoist priest again without any trace.

Xuan Su: "Hehe!"

Lu Xuechen suddenly spoke out, and said to County Magistrate Feng who was seated: "Before coming here, I have heard my junior brother explain some simple facts of the case, but it is not detailed. I wonder if my lord can explain it in detail?"

"I know, I know!" Feng Ruojin reappeared out of nowhere, danced and spit, jumped behind his father and said loudly: "To talk about this case of a headless corpse—"

"Why are you back again! Get the hell out of here!" Magistrate Feng's eyes were bigger than Xuan Su's, he slapped Feng Ruojin on the forehead, and shouted at the servants on both sides: "Hurry up and take the young master down!"

The servant hurried up and held down Feng Ruojin, who was screaming, and dragged him back.Lu Xuechen said: "Wait a minute."

"Master Dao, this..."

Lu Xuechen said: "My lord, since your son is aware of the case, why not let him sit down together, maybe it will be helpful for us to understand."

Feng Ruojin grinned at his old man, shook off the servants on the left and right, sat back complacently, and heard Bailu ask, "What did Mr. Feng want to say just now?" Said: "I'm not trying to fool you, my father is responsible for this case, but I hang out with my father on weekdays, and I know everything about the case. Moreover, I often hang out and hear More than my dad."

County magistrate Feng hated iron but warned: "You'd better be able to say something useful."

"Of course it works." Feng Ruojin took a bite of the chicken leg and said while chewing, "Let's just talk about the strangest part of this case. Although the victims were all beheaded and dumped on the street, it's strange." What's more, I heard the common people discuss in private that the dead people disappeared for a long time before the accident. Then the question arises, why do people disappear inexplicably? Did they run away by themselves, or were they caught and locked up by the murderer? ? But if he ran away, why did he run? And if the murderer did it, why did the murderer lock up the person and kill him after a period of time?"

Everyone glanced at each other, obviously this was another new message, they didn't know about this weird situation before.So they looked at Feng Ruojin at the same time, waiting for him to continue.

Being watched eagerly by so many pairs of eyes, Little Feng felt proud, and raised his voice again, "Also, the dead are not related to each other, there are both men and women, but all the dead are men and women around the age of 20. This What else do you mean?"

What does this mean?

Bailu couldn't help but ask first, "Mr. Feng's words are indeed suspicious, but forgive me for being ignorant. I really can't figure out what clues can be found to this point."

"Of course!" Feng Ruojin slapped the table, "Let's put it this way, if a person wants to commit murder, he must have a purpose, right? Otherwise, why don't they kill children, don't kill old people, but kill young men and women? If there is no common enemy, then the murderer must not be an aimless murderer who kills whoever he wants, but deliberately looks for people of this age group to start. If it were you, why would you want to kill like this? What about a group of people?"

Bailu was stopped by the question, and Nene didn't know how to answer.

Xuan Su said: "Could it be because these people are young and beautiful, and the murderer is jealous and hateful before he strikes?"

Feng Ruojin waved his hand, "No, no, you probably don't know the appearance of those deceased, right? I was also skeptical at first, but after I got someone to draw the portraits of the deceased, I found that some of them were beautiful, and some were ugly. Yes. So this conjecture does not hold.”

Xuan Su resented, and glared at the dancing girl who kept darting into Zhan Ying's arms.The dancer didn't know why, "Why is the young master staring at the slave family again, the slave family is so scared..."

Zhan Ying comforted her: "Don't be afraid, his eyes are born with small eyes, and he likes to practice eyelid extension when he has nothing to do, hoping to make his eyes bigger."

"I see." The dancer patted her heart, then delicately rubbed her into Zhanying's arms.

Xuansu: "..."

Lu Xuechen clenched his fist and coughed softly on his lips, and asked Feng Ruojin, "What does Mr. Feng think?"

Zhan Ying looked at Lu Xuechen again.

Feng Ruojin said: "That's a good question! Next, I'm going to talk about the third suspicious point, that is, where did these people go before they disappeared, and whether the places where they went are related."

This question is indeed worth noting, and everyone can't help listening.

"After my son's hard work and searching, I finally found out some clues, that is, the eleven victims who were killed before and after have all been to or walked through a place, Baihualou!"

"Baihualou? What's that place?" Bailu asked.

Zhanying laughed aloud, "Is there even a need to ask, I know it's a prostitute by the name!"

"Ah?" Egret froze suddenly, not sure if it was from embarrassment or what, his whole face was red like a lantern about to explode, he lowered his head and poked the cabbage in the bowl violently with his chopsticks.

Feng Ruojin clapped his hands, "That's right! It's the most famous prostitute in the city."

County Magistrate Feng glanced at him suspiciously, "Why don't I know about this, and where did you hear it from? Besides, the deceased had been to Baihualou and Baihualou before. Just ask the old bustard at Baihualou to confirm, but Who will see it if you pass by or not?"

"Father, I'm not talking about you, have you really checked the case file seriously? No wonder you couldn't solve the case for so long. As the magistrate of a majestic county, this is a big dereliction of duty!"

"You bastard! You're so capable, I'll see if you break one! Since you know so early, why don't you fart, and you've been working on it until now, what kind of arrogance are you playing in front of Lao Tzu!"

"Every time I want to talk, you tell me to go away, don't be an eyesore in front of me, it's my fault!" Feng Ruojin quickly escaped from his father's iron palm with a plate of pork belly, and slipped aside Lu Xuechen On the seat, he put the pork belly on the table, turned to look at Lu Xuechen, "By the way, the Taoist priest doesn't abstain from meat, right? Do you want to eat it together?"

Lu Xuechen glanced at his hand stretched out to the plate, and said politely: "No, Mr. Feng is enjoying himself."

"Oh." Feng Ruojin no longer gave way, he grabbed a piece of oily meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing and chewing. The scene was really like a savage drinking blood, as bloody as it could be.

Xuan Su was about to put his chopsticks on the plate of braised pork in front of him, when he saw the chopsticks trembling, he thought: In terms of appearance and manners, my little Ying is indeed the most pleasing to the eye.

Zhan Ying secretly glanced at Lu Xuechen's pale face, secretly laughing.This time the Taoist probably really wanted to go vegetarian!

Seeing Lu Xuechen move his butt calmly, he asked the little Mr. Feng who was enjoying his meal with a dignified expression, "Just now Mr. Feng said, how did you confirm it?"
