Brother, this showman

Guo Fugui buried his face in his palm, and it took him a while to calm down. He looked up at Ye Wenqing with his red eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a choked voice, "It's been half a year. Every wedding day, the bride will Disappeared for no reason, no trace, no dead or dead. At first, I thought it was bandits making trouble, but our Qingshui town has been kind for generations, not to mention bandits, even bullies are rare. The county magistrate sent people to look for it several times , in the end it all ended without a disease.”

As soon as Guo Fugui said this, Ye Wenqing silently turned his attention to Horse Monkey Wine, no bullies?Can this nonsense be said?

Mahoujiu sensed Ye Wenqing's gaze, blushed embarrassedly, pretended to cough, and smiled: "We are just playing role-playing."

"Then what about the ten Wen coins?" Song Jihua said quietly, "Is it your prop?"

Ma Houjiu choked on his words, and quickly took out a shredded money bag from his arms, and handed it over with both hands: "Repay you and pay you back."

Song Jihua reached out to take the money bag, and put it back into his sleeve as if it were a treasure.

"After coming and going, some women who are waiting to be married are not willing to discuss marriage, and some people even dress up their daughters as men, and they are no longer willing to marry girls." Guo Fugui continued, "so that in the past six months, the number of happy events in the town has increased. Fewer and fewer, but more and more bachelors. Later, the county magistrate, Mr. Xu, saw that this was not a good thing, so he sent officers and soldiers to search each door one by one, and registered the age of all the girls. Get married."

"How dare you get married! Once you get married, something will happen, but Master Xu doesn't care about it. In the past three months, thirty brides have disappeared, and the families who lost their daughters are crying in front of the county government all day long. Asking for justice, but in the end they were all sent away by the officials. In desperation, everyone had no choice but to run to the Goddess Temple for help."

"Goddess Temple?" Ye Wenqing was surprised, "Which immortal official is enshrined?"

"It's not some kind of fairy official, it's a local god of earth." Mentioning the goddess of taste, Guo Fugui looked in awe, and his words were extremely devout, "Although the temple of the goddess has only been built for a hundred years, it is very It worked. Everyone went to the Goddess Temple to ask for a lottery, and the Goddess Empress entrusted a dream to the Goddess that night, telling us that the bride can’t wear new clothes, sit in a sedan chair, and can’t even sing joy, and can only lie in a coffin.”

"Is this still a marriage?" Ye Wenqing clicked his tongue, "I don't know, I thought they were buried."

Guo Fugui nodded: "It's marriage, but there can't be any festive look."

"Sounds really mysterious." Ye Wenqing sighed, "Did the bride disappear afterward?"

Guo Fugui hesitated for a while, then heaved a long sigh: "There are still, but it's more relaxed than before."

"This time in Luyang Mountain, I was also entrusted by the Goddess." Guo Fugui looked at Ye Wenqing, struggled for a while, and chose to reveal the truth, "The young girl is seventeen years old, and she has passed the marriage age stipulated by the government. Officers and soldiers came up to urge me. Even if I died, I couldn't bear to push my daughter into the fire. But the government repeatedly pressured me, and I couldn't stand it anymore. Even if there was a ten thousandth danger, I couldn't let it go. The little girl is like this. In desperation, I can only go to the Goddess Temple to ask for a lottery. The signer tells me to go to Luyang Mountain to find a way to rescue."

Guo Fugui looked at Ye Wenqing earnestly, with a strange light shining in his eyes, three points of madness, just like the desire to meet clear water when walking in the desert for a long time.

Feng Lianchen took a step forward and blocked Ye Wenqing from behind, blocking Guo Fugui's eyes that wanted to swallow someone up.

"You mean the way of salvation, but you mean us?" Feng Lianchen asked.

"Exactly." Guo Fugui nodded hastily, "it is really my luck to meet three immortal masters! I also hope that the three immortal masters will help and save the people from the fire and water. , when will it be a head!"

"Let me ask you, were you pretending to have two diametrically opposed attitudes on the mountain?" Ye Wenqing tilted his head slightly, poked his head out from behind Feng Lianchen, squinted his eyes at Guo Fugui, and his eyes burst into sharpness. cold light.

Guo Fugui flinched and tried to deny it, but heard Ye Wenqing continue to say: "Answer after thinking about it. If you are not sincere, why should we bother?"

"Yes." Guo Fugui gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out these words, "It's all pretended by me, there is no ghost possessed."

"I was really worried about my little girl, so I had to attract the attention of the immortal masters, otherwise the immortal masters would not follow me down the mountain." Guo Fugui simply broke the pot and threw it out, telling all his goals.

Ye Wenqing clicked his tongue and did not speak, but his slightly furrowed brow showed his mood at the moment.

Desperately trying to save people's lives, but in the end they don't need you to save them, and they are still plotting against you. It's like a farmer and a snake. I fed all my good intentions to the dogs. I feel so sad!

"Let's go." Ye Wenqing didn't want to talk to him any more, reached out and patted Feng Lianchen's shoulder, turned around and wanted to go out.

"Master Immortal!" Guo Fugui had sharp eyes and quick hands, and quickly reached out to block the way, "You promised before."

"Don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't trust me. We will find out what's causing trouble here." Ye Wenqing said, "It's just that we are not your saviors, so we don't have to live in the house. After all, I feel ashamed, my conscience is hard to rest.”

Ye Wenqing emphasized the pronunciation of the last few words, and took a deep look at Guo Fugui, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

"Let's go to the inn and stop bothering the mayor." Ye Wenqing brushed off his sleeves, "Junior brother, let's go."

After leaving the Guo Mansion and getting rid of the nagging Guo Fugui, Ye Wenqing looked up at the sky that was dyed red by the sunset.

Jinwu hides in the mountains and reluctantly bids farewell to Hongxia.

The white clouds floating in the sky were also stained with a thick layer of rouge, shyly chasing and playing with the wind.

Everything in the world is ever-changing, and there are thousands of people and faces in the world.

"Brother, do you really intend to stay and help?" Feng Lianchen turned his head to look at Ye Wenqing, and asked uncertainly, "Not to mention whether it was man-made, even if it wasn't man-made, we can't tell where the evil is.

"Is there any reason to go back on the word?" Ye Wenqing raised his eyebrows, "Although the old man Guo is hateful, there is nothing wrong with investigating the reasons behind it. The bride who disappeared for no reason, the county magistrate who did things foolishly, and the goddess , There may not be no connection between the three. Just think about it, if the parents and officials who really care about the common people will force women to marry when incidents happen frequently? Isn’t this adding fuel to the fire? There are many bachelors in the town, but it’s only been half a year, how can there be so many bachelors? If nothing happens to the bride, is it possible that there will be a good day every now and then and someone will get married? If this is the case, the shopkeeper who runs the silk and satin shop will be crazy. "

"If it were me, I would definitely not force women to marry. After all, life is more important. Whoever is single is none of my business! Seeing death without saving him is against discipleship. If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain. Hide The evil in this dark place refuses to show up, so let's find a way to make her show up."

"What Brother Wen Qing said is very true." Song Jihua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Ye Wenqing was taken aback by him, and it took him a while to realize that there was someone by his side.

"However, Brother Wenqing." Song Jihua frowned, and said worriedly, "Are we really going to stay in a hotel?"

"Why don't you squeeze with him?" Ye Wenqing pointed to a sleeping homeless man on the stone steps at the corner of the street, "See if he is willing to move a piece of land for you?"

The homeless man just turned over, revealing a dark face, a few buzzing flies around his muddy hair, the homeless man closed his eyes, and impatiently raised his hands on his head clapped.

"No, no, stay at the inn!" Song Jihua shook his head repeatedly, and the tassels on the jade crown shook accordingly, making a crisp crashing sound.

Mahoujiu hadn't seen anyone since it left the Guo Mansion, and Ye Wenqing suddenly thought of this person when he went into the inn and asked the shopkeeper for a room.

"Okay, just two ordinary guest rooms." Ye Wenqing interrupted the shopkeeper who was impatiently promoting his luxury suite.

"Guest officer, don't you really plan to choose a five-star luxury suite? It was just launched recently." The shopkeeper still asked unwillingly, blinking his starry eyes, "The environment inside is quiet, the facilities are complete, you can get what you want, the bed is super big, even if you come again Three people are fine. Besides, the sound insulation is excellent, so you can do whatever you want inside~”

Speaking of the latter, the shopkeeper covered his mouth and smiled, his eyes darting back and forth on the three of them, unable to conceal his lewdness.

If there was a tail behind him, it would definitely wag like a spinning top.

But Ye Wenqing just wanted to slap him, what did he mean?

"Boss, I want two..." Ye Wenqing was interrupted by a clear voice before he could say, "A luxury suite."

The shopkeeper's eyes widened in an instant, and two golden lights shot out from his eyes, shining brightly, holding his abacus excitedly: "Master, how many people!"

"Two." Feng Lianchen looked away embarrassedly by the shopkeeper, and his earlobe was slightly red.

"Only two people?" The shopkeeper exclaimed again, his eyes moved back and forth between Song Jihua and Ye Wenqing, and an unspeakable scene played out in his mind, "The two are good, big! There are also many places to play."

Ye Wenqing: "..."

Come on, I want to have a good talk with you.

"Ahem." Due to Ye Wenqing's face that was so dark that it was about to drip, the shopkeeper quickly restrained the corners of his mouth that were crazily raised, "Okay, Xiaoer, bring some guest officers up."

Ye Wenqing and Feng Lianchen followed Xiao Er up to the third floor.

"How about a luxury room?" Ye Wenqing tugged at Feng Lianchen's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Ten taels of silver a night, what a waste of money."

Feng Lianchen was a little embarrassed by the shopkeeper's words, so he averted his eyes from Ye Wenqing, and Ai Ai said, "I just want my brother to sleep comfortably."

The little second in the front was born with a back ear, but now it sounds like "I want to make my brother feel comfortable".Immediately, he was excited, thoughts flashed in his mind, the corners of his mouth crazily raised, and he looked at the two of them with sparkling eyes: "Guest, I wish you a good sleep and a good time! I will bring you what you need later!" After speaking, he left like the wind on the soles of his feet, still muttering, "It's the first time I've seen such a direct person".

Ye Wenqing looked at Xiao Er's leaving figure in bewilderment. Isn't this store full of idiots?

Downstairs, the shopkeeper and Song Jihua stared wide-eyed.

"Shopkeeper, do you like watching sword dancing?" Song Jihua asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head.

"Then do you like listening to stories?" Song Jihua continued to ask.

The shopkeeper silently took out a few bundles of thick books from the counter, pointed to the gaudy covers on them, and said, "They have all the stories I like."

Song Jihua: "...then you."

"My lord, an ordinary guest room costs [-] cents per room, and you bargain for [-] cent. Why don't you just ask me if I don't want the money?" The shopkeeper interrupted expressionlessly.

Song Jihua scratched his head: "I think so, but it's not because I'm afraid that you will throw me out directly."

The shopkeeper: "...It's not far away now."

"My lord, those two friends of yours just now seem to be quite rich, why don't you ask them to pay for you?" the shopkeeper suggested.

Song Jihua struggled for a while, sighed softly, put the sword on the counter, and took out a bank note from his sleeve: "Come to an ordinary room."

Looking at this 100 tael bank note, the shopkeeper's expression was very rich, and he squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "Did you not have no money and just pick?"

"No, I borrowed the money." Song Jihua said with a bitter face.

Shopkeeper: "..."

I really can't believe you.

But in the luxury room at this time, Ye Wenqing looked at the layout inside, and instantly petrified. There was only one thought in his mind, "This is too festive!"
