Chapter 38 The days of squatting on the wall

Thank you to Yangzhigang, Jiufen Xuanmao, and the brothers Wang Dabao for their rewards. This week, Sanjiang, I would like to ask all the Taoist brothers to help vote for Sanjiang tickets. You can get the tickets for free on the homepage of Sanjiang Channel. Thank you!

Zhao Ran originally thought that Dong Zhikun and Zhang Ze wanted to inquire about the incident of his instigation of the Hu father and daughter behind his back, and wanted to catch his painful foot, so he didn't care at first. Even if he was told now, it was not a big deal. With Zhao Ran's current status, he could settle it in minutes with the weight of his speaking in the upper echelons of Wujiyuan.

But after hearing Jin Jiu's report, he had to remain indifferent. Once the Hu father and daughter were brought to the charge of being a Buddhist in detail, he would be involved and would easily be framed as "collusion with Buddhism". Against the backdrop of the increasing intensity of the war in Baima Mountain, this charge is not a joke. Just asking you to "assist in the investigation", people will have to lose their skin.

He had no intention of going to the back mountain to demonstrate the formation. He comforted Jin Jiu with kind words. After agreeing to recommend the favor in front of the Song Jianyuan, he sent the happy Jin Jiu away and quietly came to the backyard. Following the rope he left there, he climbed out of the wall. Zhao Ran found a small path and went down the mountain directly.

A market has been formed under the gate of Wuji Mountain, and many shops have opened shops and built houses here. As the general supplier of Wujiyuan’s food supplies, Jinshangguan lived here for half a month. Jinji rice shop has been booming this year, and the goods sold are no longer just rice and grain, including meat, vegetables, and fruits, so the warehouse has been expanded very much, and the restrooms have also been added to several of the houses for the guests.

Before the Jinji rice shop could cover the wall to form a separate courtyard, Zhao Ran did not alarm others and went directly to the familiar wooden house of Shopkeeper Jin. A big yellow dog lay at the door. Seeing someone coming, he immediately barked twice with alert. Zhao Ran was familiar with the door, so he threw a meat bag over, called "Bighuang" softly, and then stepped forward and stroked the dog's neck. The yellow dog saw that it was an acquaintance, so he took the meat bag obediently and lay on the ground, allowing Zhao Ran to strode his hair to comfort him.

I heard the movement in the room. As soon as the door opened, Shopkeeper Jin poked his head out and looked at it, and said softly: "Master Zhao is here?" He went back and changed his coat and put it on him, and came out to greet Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran glanced at a woman's slender arm like a lotus root under the oil lamp in the room, and asked with a smile: "It seems that it's not your wife? You are so happy."

Manager Jin said, "It depends on the cultivation of Taoist masters."

Zhao Ran said, "Follow me." When he walked out first, Manager Jin hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at a secret and empty place, Zhao Ran asked: "Last year, well, the two years ago, do you still remember the matter between the Hu father and daughter?"

Manager Jin was stunned. He took advantage of the moonlight to sneak a look at Zhao Ran's face. He pondered for a moment and shook his head and said, "What Hu father and daughter? The Taoist priest meant, I didn't understand the little one."

Zhao Ran nodded: "That's good... By the way, I heard that someone in the yard was asking about the Hu father and daughter, saying that they were secretly working on Buddhism. Do you know this?"

Manager Jin was stunned for a while, thinking for a while, and said carefully: "Are they the Hu family and daughter who are telling and singing music in the county? I don't know much about this. I have never had any interactions with their father and daughter on weekdays. How can I know if they are Buddhist spies?"

Zhao Ran tilted his head and stared at Manager Jin. After a while, Fang said, "No, then I'll feel relieved."

Manager Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a cold sweat behind him. After wiping the sweat, hesitantly asked, "Master, what happened?"

Zhao Ran said lightly: "It's no big deal, just ask if you have anything to do with the Hu father and daughter."

Manager Jin suddenly realized it and sweared to the sky: "God, who is a bastard who has ruined his conscience and poured me dirty water? I have no connection with Hu. I have only heard them sing songs from afar, but I have never talked to each other. The same goes for Hu. The Taoist priest can ask them, and anything they have had to do with me. Please believe me for this, otherwise you will be beaten to death by the thunder!"

"Very good...whether your guy? Or relatives and friends, they..."

"It's nothing to do with it, Taoist priest just worry!"

"Anyway, don't just touch you. You are my guardian. If something happens to you, I must be not good-looking here."

"I understand... Well, I wonder who is causing trouble in it? Can the Taoist priest reveal one or two?"

"It's okay to say it. It's Deacon Dong of the Room, and it's Zhang Ze, who is the one who stands out." Zhao Ran told the story. Seeing that the manager Jin's face looked ugly, he knew that he was afraid, so he said, "Don't be afraid either. As long as it has nothing to do with you, others can't bully you. Just come to me if you have anything to do... By the way, I've become the Jingzhu of the Jingtang today."

Manager Jin was overjoyed and bowed to salute: "Congratulations to Taoist Master!"

"Do you know why I suddenly became the Lord of Jing?"

"The Taoist priest has outstanding talents, excellent homework, and is clear about the truth..."

"Fuck! Let me tell you, the person named Dong wants to be a prison, but I forced him to take down. I, the quiet master, stepped on his head and got on the top."

Manager Jin immediately smiled.

Since this clue cannot affect him, Zhao Ran is much more at ease. From the conversation just now, he also made a general judgment on Manager Jin's methods and knew that he should be safe.

Back at Wujiyuan, Zhao Ran walked over to Deacon Dong's house and eavesdropped for a moment. Except for Deacon Dong's snoring, there was no result. He went to the house of the restaurant, Huoju, and did not eavesdrop on Zhang Ze any abnormal movements.

For three consecutive nights, Zhao Ran committed crimes, climbed on the wall and eavesdropped every night, trying to find out some news with his excellent ears, but got nothing. This is normal. Almost few people often talk to themselves and like to talk to themselves, and most of them have direct relationship with a certain disease.

However, those who are persistent have accomplished their work. Zhao Ran eavesdropped every night and finally got what he wanted. That night, Zhao Ran slipped outside the courtyard of Deacon Dong's house and happened to hear the conversation between Deacon Dong and Zhang Ze.

"...I can't do it. After a long time of investigation, Old Man Hu has no other relatives in the county, only one son and one daughter. I walked through Lao Qian from the official house of the yamen. After searching through the county's books, the three Hu family members were not registered..."

"Silly, Hu is in charge of a low-key man, so how can he register on the official registration! You should go to Fucheng Jiafangshu to check the foundation!"

"I also sent someone to go, and there was no other side of the Jiaofangsi. There was a Hu family road registration. They came from Chengdu..."

"Then go to Chengdu to check!"

"I've gone, the road sign was indeed issued by Chengdu Prefecture, and there is a approval note from the Jiaofangshe over there, and the procedures are complete..."

"Is Hu from Chengdu?"

"I don't know... His archives in Chengdu Jiaofangsi are very complete, and he has no other relatives at home, and he is alone... The officials of the Jiaofangsi have no impression of Hu. The one who issued a copy of the Jiaofangsi Zuowu Zhang Duan, but Zhang Duan has no impression of the copy of the book he issued. Mr. Feng, who issued a road in Chengdu, is still there, but he can't remember it every year... "

"This... did Hu have any friends in Guyang County?"

"This family is alone and doesn't deal with neighbors..."

"Is it a jump out of the stone? It's really..."

"Deacon, in my opinion, since these three Hu family have no old friends and friends and have unclear origins, they are easily charged with crimes..."

"It's not difficult to deduct a charge, but how to involve someone named Zhao? I've seen before that this person is not simple. I asked you to investigate the Hu family, but unfortunately it's too late. If he had been removed earlier, how could anyone named Song take advantage? This time, Abbot Du explained clearly when he left. He must teach him some lessons, otherwise it would be difficult to exhale this anger!"

"yes……"

"The scandal between you and Jin Jiu was very popular that day. There must be someone with the surname Zhao. Those with the surname Zhao must have something to do with Hu. No matter what you do, I must let Hu explain the truth in it as soon as possible! If this matter is done, I guarantee that you will be admitted to the certificate this year. If the matter is done, you won't have to live in the yard anymore. Do you understand?"

The conversation in the room was over. Zhao Ran heard Zhang Ze open the door and left. He waited for a moment before tiptoing away quietly. What would Zhang Ze do? Zhao Ran also speculated that according to Deacon Dong's intention, he might have to attack Hu. Hu is a poor man, and it is not necessary to think about it. When facing a local powerful man like Zhang Ze, he will definitely be crushed. However, Zhao Ran was not very worried. Even if Zhang Ze instructed Hu to bite him, as long as there was no evidence, he would not be guilty of acquaintance with Buddhism.

Zhao Ran believed that no one in Wujiyuan had the ability to frame him.
