Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

As if that wasn't enough, Lin Ning got up and covered half of his face with a handkerchief, ashamed and shy, he called out in a thousand and one rounds: "Master——"

Respondent: "..."

Hui Taoist is Hui Taoist after all, he quickly lifted the petrification, and sternly reprimanded: "Pretentious!"

Lin Ning coughed dryly, and immediately stood up straight and took back the handkerchief, thinking whether she should make a bow or clasp her fists, but in the end she found that this was inappropriate, and the most appropriate way was to make a fist, and said seriously: "Master."

Only then did the Taoist feel more pleasing to the eye.

Lin Ning sat down with a playful smile. Her smile warmed the aloofness of her current appearance, and it also made Hui Taoist regain a lot of familiarity.

Lin Ning took a chess piece again, the jade chess piece and the slender wrist complemented each other brilliantly, and suddenly thought: "Master, if I was a girl at that time, would you still accept me as an apprentice?"

The Taoist replied in a bad mood: "If a girl is as brazen and glib as you, she must be a naughty girl."

Lin Ning: "...The female rogue is too much, I think it should be a ghost with a sharp tongue."

The Taoist rapped on the chess table: "Knowledge yourself!"

Lin Ning lowered her eyes, looking as if she was reflecting, but in fact she was just brewing her emotions: "Master, you have always been so strict, and all the enthusiasm of the apprentice has frozen you into ice. Yes, it's really—" As she spoke, she shed two lines of tears against the wind, which made her plain face even more pitiful and deplorable.

Respondent: "..."

Hui Taoist now has a deep understanding of the feeling that Lin Ning and the others felt stuck in the throat because of Ao Shuang's words before, and he was quite itchy and wanted to beat her up. Sure enough, this essence can't be changed.

The old man didn't hold back at all, he just asked Lin Ning to put down the wine jar, and went back and forth by himself.

While transforming back, Lin Ning muttered, "You really have no sense of humor."

The Taoist immediately threw a chess piece over, Lin Ning held it in the palm of his hand, said with a playful smile, "Thank you, Master, for the reward." He kicked the chess piece away.

Hui Dao was overwhelmed with anger, only hated himself for accepting such a shameless face.It's just that when he turned around and met the Dragon King of the East China Sea, when he heard the Dragon King of the East China Sea belittle Lin Ning, he was unhappy again.

This means that my apprentice can only beat and scold by himself.

·

It only took Lin Ning half an hour to go back and forth.

In the backyard of the Taoist temple, Hou Yu and the others continued to study and enlightenment. Only Ao Shuang and Nepenthes were left together and didn’t know what they were talking about, while the White Queen was reading a book of travel notes to understand the local customs more intuitively. Seeing Lin Ning came back, the White Queen said that she didn't need to be distracted by looking at Nepenthes and Ao Xing anymore, she was going back to the cave to write a new anti-feeding training plan for Nepenthes.

Lin Ning pointed to Ao Shuang and said, "I'll take Ao Shuang to Qingzhou for a stroll."

Nepenthes must follow, it is the most carefree one, even when Lin Ning preached, it nestled back into its nest and slept in the dark, even Luming was a little envious of it Under it, everyone knows that this is a big boss.

Lin Ning stretched out his hand and scratched the chin of Nepenthes, and on the way to Qingzhou on a white horse with Ao Shuang, he did not forget to inquire about the information about Taotie.Now that Taotie has arrived, it can be said that it is an ancient fierce beast, and it is on the same level as Zhu Jiuyin. Ao Shuang doesn't know much, and Lin Ning is not disappointed. After all, if you want to ask the bottom line, she is quite good at it .

Arriving in Qingzhou soon, Ao Twin finds everything new, so she goes wherever the excitement is.

Lin Ning raised his eyes to look at him, then turned his head to look at the pitcher plants that hadn't had fun today, and said "huh".

Nepenthes: "??"

Lin Ning just smiled and said nothing.

Ao Shuang squeezed into the crowd and back again, dancing and said, "It's not the same as Haishi, but it's just as lively. By the way, there's a juggler in front. I've heard Ma Ji say that, he was still in the Dragon Palace for my sister Singing opera, the repertoire he arranged is very popular in Dragon Palace, but what is the original flavor?"

After all, Lin Ning squeezed in with great interest. Just as Lin Ning was about to follow, a team of police officers came to the street. They dispersed the crowded crowd and re-performed the wonderful repertoire of stealing peaches in a different place. The busker and his son were handcuffed.

The busker was very wronged: "Master, the little one didn't do anything. I don't know why the master arrested me and my son? The little one just set up a stall to sell art to earn a living!"

The little boy cried, "Daddy! Daddy!"

The catcher quickly shouted: "Stop shouting, just follow us to the yamen."

The crowd was gradually dispersing. Although most of them pricked up their ears to know what was going on, the fifth prince, who didn't watch the trick and was itching to stand up, said, "What's going on?"

Although Ao Shuang is a bit silly and sweet, but he is a fool and sweet in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea after all, and he is dressed as a rich and noble son, and even the pearls on his belt tell him that he is a high-ranking official.

Although the police officers were not sure which family he belonged to, they didn't dare to offend him seeing this posture, so they gave a general overview of the whole story in a respectful manner.

Lin Ning came over and listened attentively.

It turned out that Guo Sanlang, the youngest son of the Guo family, a wealthy family in Qingzhou, disappeared last night. His long-term follower, Guo Dayan, said that Guo Sanlang was taken away by heavenly soldiers from Tiangong because Guo Sanlang accepted the flat peaches that the busker stole from Tiangong. Only then did the police come to handcuff the busker father and son.

Lin Ning shook his head slightly.

Ao Twin blurted out: "You mean flat peaches? The queen mother's flat peaches? But the flat peach festival was only held ten years ago, and the flat peaches in the flat peach garden that were first ripe three years ago would take more than 900 years to mature. What's the matter? Easy to steal?"

As soon as these words came out, the policemen looked at each other in blank dismay.

The busker father and son looked shocked.

Lin Ning: "...cough."

Ao Twin was a little confused, so: "Am I wrong?"

Lin Ning opened his mouth slowly: "That's not true, it's just that you missed the point."

Lin Ning turned to look at the busker father and son: "These two are just mortals. Yesterday, stealing peaches from Tiangong was just to entertain the people of Qingzhou and earn one or two silver coins. It's not that they have the ability to go to Tiangong. As for the flat peach? It's just a paper-cut It's just a trick of the eye."

The lead arrester quickly swallowed his saliva: "Dare to ask—?"

Lin Ning nodded slightly: "Xiao Dao picks up the light."

Ao Shuang learned and said: "Xiaolong Ao Shuang."

The group of people who claimed to have heard them almost fainted, and Ao Shuang was still there, so he asked, "What's wrong with them?"

Lin Ning murmured, "You must have been shocked by your demeanor."

Ao Twin grinned and said, "I'm not that dignified either."

Lin Ning: "Hehe."

Ao Twin: "..." I always feel that something is weird.

Let's not talk about what happened to the "little dragon" Ao Shuang. "Little dragon", just Lin Ning, the Daoist who picks up the light, is still very useful in this area, so they followed into the Yamen and saw the man who heard the news. Feng Zhifu, the prefect of Qingzhou.

Compared with Zhifu Han who had a good relationship with Lin Ning, Zhifu Feng was much older, but he was not pedantic and old-fashioned, and he had heard of Lin Ning's reputation earlier, so he had a good impression of her.

This saved Lin Ning a lot of trouble.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Ning asked Zhifu Feng's opinion on this case.

Feng Zhifu pondered for a while and said: "I think that Guo Sanlang's disappearance has little to do with that busker—if it is true that heavenly soldiers came to arrest him, shouldn't the first ones bear the brunt of this busker father and son?"

Lin Ning: "Indeed."

Lin Ning later proposed to visit the scene of the crime, and Lin Ning learned more about Guo Sanlang on the way.

Guo Sanlang was born in a family of officials, his father has retired, his eldest brother is the county magistrate of Caocheng, and he himself is a weak crown, handsome and handsome, a good-looking talent, because he wants to study with peace of mind, he lives in the suburbs of the city, and usually has only one old servant girl And the long follower is on the side.

Lin Ning recalled, recalled yesterday's memories of the crowd, and quickly identified Guo Sanlang and his long follower.After a little more thought, he came up with an inference.

Ao Shuang on the side rubbed his fists and said: "I don't want to encounter such a complicated and confusing case. If you can use me, you can just say it. Although I can't mobilize soldiers and crabs to give you a strong reputation in the future." , but I can still secretly attract a few dark clouds to help you create an atmosphere of dark clouds overwhelming the city."

Prefect Feng: "...!"

Lin Ning squinted at Ao Twin: "What misunderstanding do you have about solving crimes in the mortal world?"

Ao Twin took it for granted, "Didn't Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stand on both sides, and Bao Gongtang with a black face?"

Prefect Feng: "..." Where did this dragon come from?

However, Lin Ning let out a "huh": "If the magistrate and I really have nothing to do in this case, it's not that we can't do this, but I have to trouble me to go to the underworld and ask Baogong to have another trial in Yangjian."

Prefect Feng: "!!"

Is that okay?

Soon, they came to Guo's house.Guo Sanlang's long follower, Guo Zhan, waited tremblingly at the side, the old servant girl was also called, and Guo's father also drove over in a car, and first exchanged greetings with Feng Zhifu, while Lin Ning walked around the other field, and then He looked around Guo Sanlang's study.

I don’t want to talk about Guo Sanlang’s peace of mind, but his study room looks quite tidy. There is a book on the desk open and placed there, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all available, and the ink is excellent Hui ink. Elegant and generous, the smoke is fine and clear, and it is placed in a lacquer box with gold patterns.

Lin Ning sniffed it carefully, and felt something was wrong, so he picked up the ink ingot, and immediately put it down as if nothing had happened, and then saw a wine jar, which was only the size of two palms.Lin Ning opened it, and there was only one layer of wine left in the wine jar, but there was still a lingering aftertaste. The overall smell was clear, and Lin Ning could tell what had been added by sniffing carefully.

Ao Twin: "Pick up the light??"

Everyone else looked sideways.

Lin Ning stood up naturally: "Guo Jushi was loaded into a carriage by four women after drinking this altar of Fenjiu that was doped with drugs, and left for the city. Well, I am It is said that the person who committed the crime this time is a mortal, and has nothing to do with the Heavenly Soldiers."

It's Jushi Guo's long follower, you haven't returned all night, if I'm not wrong, you went to a brothel, and the girl you dated used 20 taels of jasmine-flavored rouge. Low, then how did you win her favor?Your husband's Hui ink has helped you a lot. "

Guo Dawei said reassuringly: "The little one doesn't understand what the Daoist is talking about."

"Then you might as well tell me how this piece of Hui ink became like this." Lin Ning took the piece of Hui ink out of the lacquer box, and gently broke it into two halves, making the middle ink soft and the surface rough, A lackluster ink ingot was pulled out, "Don't say that the heavenly soldiers hollowed out the middle one, and stuffed a cheap ink ingot."

Master Guo understood in an instant: "Guo Da!"

Ao Twin asked curiously, "How did you know Shiguang?"

Before Lin Ning could say anything, Feng Zhifu cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Daoist Shi Guang is a master of Taoism, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Lin Ning: "...Well, my Taoism is really advanced."

Prefect Feng: "..." Why is it a little immodest?

Facing the anger of Mr. Guo and the eyes of the policemen, Guo Da quickly gave up and told the truth.But he has a good friend, last night he didn't come back from the city with Guo Sanlang, but went to visit his wife on the pretext, and in order to win over his good friend, Li Daitao has been stiff from Guo Sanlang's private room for a long time. Well, that piece of Hui ink was hollowed out by him, and even a small ink ingot was sold for a small 20 taels.

He didn't want Guo Sanlang to disappear when he came back from the city this time.

But Guo Da couldn't say that he was not good at protecting the master, and his mother was an old servant of the Guo family, so he would give up if he said that, so he just made such an excuse.After finishing speaking, Guo Da knocked his head loudly: "The little one is that the lard was blinded for a while——"

Lin Ning stopped and said, "I'm a little curious, why there are so many excuses to choose from, but why did you choose the theory of heavenly soldiers capturing people?"

Feng Zhifu pondered for a while before he knew the reason: "Don't you know?"

Lin Ning: "I would like to hear the details."

Ao Twin also became curious.

It turns out that there is a precedent for this kind of thing, and it happened in Qingzhou.One night, the little lady of the cloth merchant Han's family saw a colorful bird flying towards her, so she called her maidservant to chase after it, and when she came closer, the colorful bird grabbed her in its mouth and flew away as soon as it was released on its back.

The maidservant yelled loudly, and then she heard the beautiful woman in the palace dress with the dazzling brocade robe on the back of the colorful bird say that people in the lower world should not be afraid, she is Chang'e from the Moon Palace, and that the little lady is the ninth daughter of the Queen Mother, and it happened by chance. She was relegated to the mortal world, and now the queen mother misses her, so she wants to invite her to a gathering.

It turns out it was all fake.

The colorful bird is just a wooden bird, and the beauty who claims to be Chang'e is not Chang'e, but an ordinary woman named Zhu.Zhu's husband knew crooked spells, and when he came to the cloth merchant to perform, he saw the beauty of the cloth merchant's daughter, so he used this kind of magic to capture her.

Fortunately in the misfortune, when the wooden bird was about to fly over the Yangtze River, it was caught by a flying firecracker set off by a family, and it fell down after being frightened. The cloth merchant's daughter and Mrs. into the home of a scholar named Xing.

Later, the mastermind behind the scenes was wanted by the government. This matter was passed around in Qingzhou, and no one knew what it would look like. It has been talked about for so long, so it is no wonder that Guo Da copied it here.

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows.

At this time, Feng Zhifu asked: "Dare to ask the chief, why did the thief here capture Guo Sanlang?"

Lin Ning was silent for a while: "If I'm right, I can only say that it's a coincidence."

Feng Zhifu was stunned: "You mean that thief took a fancy to Guo Sanlang's... handsome and elegant?"

Master Guo didn't even know what to say.

"Oh, it should be a woman."

Lin Ning said something like that, and I don't know if it comforted them, but Lin Ning didn't pay much attention to this point. After thinking about it, he said: "I'm afraid that the other party's status is inconvenient and he comes from a famous family. The family style is most likely extravagant."

The altar of Fenjiu with the drug added is obviously not an ordinary wine, it can be called a good wine, even for Lin Ning.What's more, what happened to Guo Sanlang reminded her of the maid who left the golden mandarin duck when she left the teahouse yesterday.

This is no coincidence.

That maid was dressed extravagantly, especially as a maid, her shoes were inlaid with many pearls the size of rice grains, and Lin Ning found such a pearl near this other field.All these indicate that Guo Sanlang's disappearance is related to that maid, but how can a maid who can dress like that be an ordinary family?

There are not many people like Qingzhou.

Sure enough, when Lin Ning said that, after Feng Zhifu and Master Guo thought of something, their expressions all changed.

Lin Ning: "Master Zhifu?"

Without waiting for Feng Zhifu to speak, Ao Twin who finally came to his senses said in surprise: "Shiguang, you mean that this Guo Sanlang was kidnapped to be a pet?"

Lin Ning glanced at him: "The pet is not used in this way."

Prefect Feng: "..." That's not the point, is it?

Ao Shuang said "ah": "Isn't it? Oh, I also heard Ma Ji say it once, but it's not like this kind of thing didn't happen in our Dragon Palace. The businessmen on your side, I heard that people ran away within a few days."

Lin Ning blinked: "Really?" She turned her head to look at Feng Zhifu: "Master Zhifu, why not tell me which one it is?"

Feng Zhifu looked at Ao Shuang, then at Lin Ning, and suddenly gained confidence, and said in a low voice, "It's the Emperor Shang Yan's family."

This Yan family is not only an imperial merchant, but also because a daughter was sent into the palace. The daughter of the Yan family was favored by the emperor because of her beauty and beauty. The arrogant Yan family is even more powerful, and extravagance is indeed their family tradition.Man said that in Qingzhou, even in Jiangnan, there are not many people who can take advantage of it.

Lin Ning: "Oh."

Ao Twin didn't take it to heart.

Since following Lin Ning, the Nepenthes, which had been catching butterflies and flies in the yard, "wowed" and ate a grasshopper after autumn into its small mouth.
