In the night, some people really couldn't sleep. It had nothing to do with mosquitoes or the sound of people working at the construction site. They just couldn't sleep because they were too excited.
The invited Daoist Chaser Dream had finally arrived. He had even gone over to take a look during the day, but he couldn't sleep at night no matter what.
Feng Changgong had no choice but to find the registrar and the county magistrate. They sat in the yard and looked at the moon in the sky and drank.
"Fill it up and taste the cooked prawns. The Taoist Chaser Dream just told me that tomorrow the people will go home and hide. They won't dare to come out again."
Feng Changgong was in a good mood. He poured wine for the registrar and the county magistrate and said to them while looking at the moon.
"I wish you a great success. Cheers." The registrar was good at talking. He raised the cup and drank the wine. The county magistrate also drank a cup and said, "Sir, this time no one will dare to look down on you. But I'm worried that if you offend Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, will their parents come? If you hurt the younger one, the older one won't be able to stand it. "
He said that he was worried, but the meaning in his words couldn't be more clear. He didn't take Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan seriously.
Feng Changgong liked to hear this kind of words. He laughed and said, "If the older one comes, I won't be afraid. He can't control me, right? It's good to let people know that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not so powerful. Besides, the people behind us are not bad. "
"That's right. Sir, how can you be bad?" The registrar still flattered, but there was no joy in his eyes. Instead, there was infinite worry.
The other two people didn't notice him. They clinked their cups back and forth and talked loudly under the stars and moon.
After drinking until midnight, the three of them parted ways and went back to their respective homes.
After walking for a while, the registrar stopped when he saw that there was no one around. He turned around and walked in another direction. After crossing two streets, he came to a courtyard and knocked on the door of the courtyard, making three long knocks and two short knocks.
After a while, the door was pulled open from the inside. He hurriedly dashed in. The person who opened the door stuck his head out and looked at both sides before he felt relieved and closed the door again.
The registrar entered the courtyard but did not go into the house. Instead, he stood there and said to the person who closed the door, "Tell the higher-ups that our eyes have been set out. We will see the results in a month."
"Understood." The person who had just opened the door replied and didn't say anything else. The registrar went around a room and disappeared into the woodshed behind it.
The person who spoke just now went into the room and said to another person, "Leave immediately and tell the higher-ups that the county magistrate of Xin Cai County, Feng Changgong, is going to attack the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. Tell them to pay attention to the news in the capital and don't miss any important information.
The Zhang Family and the Wang Family have the ability to make money, and they don't lack the ability to scheme against others in business. They also have people who can fight. This time, we will see how the other party is in the officialdom so that we can make a plan. As long as they are here, we can't do what we want. "
The person in the room was wrapped in black cloth from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. When he heard the words of the person who came in, he immediately jumped out of the open window and hid in the half-moon night.
After about 15 minutes, the registrar appeared in another room. He covered the hole that was exposed when he came out with a wooden board and sprinkled a layer of soil on it. Then he walked out of the door in front of him. No one else showed up in the room.
When he walked out of the room, there was a two-story building in front of him. From time to time, he could hear the laughter of a woman and the drunken words of a man.
After passing through the two-story building, the registrar appeared on the side of a street. He looked back at the signboard with the words "Rou Chun Pavilion" written on it and left with a strange smile.
But as he walked, he felt that something was wrong. He looked back at the empty street and the worry in his eyes intensified. He muttered, "Should I really not do this? Will I be exposed? My superiors have told me not to do anything in the place where the Zhang Family and the Wang Family live. Why don't I feel anything? Yes, I don't feel anything. "
After saying this, the registrar continued to walk forward, but he felt very uncomfortable in his chest. After turning a corner, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, which scared him.
"Let me touch it. Oh, what's so soft? Let me touch it again. "
"You are so bad. We are still outside. Why don't you have a good relationship with me?"
"Is it really not good? Then why are you walking with your legs between your legs? "
"You still say that. It's all your fault."
Until the sound of a man and a woman flirting was heard, the registrar who was hiding in the shadow of a house was relieved. He cursed the adulterous couple in his heart. After the two people passed by, he flashed out of the shadow and continued to walk back. He staggered twice and began to talk.
"I'm not drunk. You don't need to help me. Why are you wearing so little clothes? Come, let me see. I told you not to help me, but you still want to help me."
As they spoke, they walked, completely oblivious to the fact that the adulterous pair had changed their appearance. The woman headed for the Soft Spring Pavilion, while the man took out a set of gray clothes from his bosom. He took off his light blue clothes and changed into them. Then, he took out an item and threw it on the roof. He then kicked the wall twice and leaped up.
He jumped from house to house, occasionally stopping to hide in the shadow on the other side of the roof. He followed the registrar who had just left while talking drunkenly.
After he went up the roof, two people appeared where he had just been standing. One of them had a dog. Their clothes were gray and black. Even the dog's body had the same pattern.
The person without the dog changed into a set of light yellow clothes and tied a Xiaoyao Scarf around his head before walking in the direction of the Soft Spring Pavilion. The other person let go of the dog and walked around to another street. The dog stuck to the corner of the house by itself and walked along the road in front of him without making a sound.
*****
The next morning, Zhang Xiaobao opened his eyes and looked at Wang Juan who was hugging him like a fish. He sighed and muttered, "No wonder I dreamed last night that the police caught me. They were worried that I would run away, so they handcuffed me so tightly. I knew it. Who could catch me?"
"Who caught you? I'll help you untie them. "Wang Juan was not awake yet. Perhaps she heard Zhang Xiaobao's voice and said something in her sleep.
"Go to sleep. No one can catch me, let alone a broken handcuff. What's the use of twisting my arm to the back? The joint will come out. Why haven't the people of the first team come back yet? They are not as good as Huzi and the others. "
Zhang Xiaobao adjusted the blanket for Wang Juan. Seeing that it was just dawn, he went back to sleep.
When Li Xun came to find the two of them, Wang Juan was complaining to Zhang Xiaobao that he did not make a sound after waking up. It would have been better if he had made some noise. She would have been able to wake up immediately.
Zhang Xiaobao had a helpless expression on his face. He told Wang Juan that they should indeed live separately. Otherwise, their vigilance would disappear.
Li Xun had just woken up and had not washed his face. He heard half of the conversation and thought that they were talking about him. He explained, "Although I was in the tent next to yours last night, I didn't hear anything. There was no movement at all."
"Thank you." Zhang Xiaobao patted Li Xun's shoulder and walked out.
"Hurry up and wash up. What can you hear? No one is a good person. "Wang Juan said and also went out.
Li Xun stood there and muttered, "I'm telling the truth. I really didn't hear anything. Why do we have to live separately? Young face, young face, young face. "
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were about to eat, a guard came over and said to the two, "Young master, young lady, there is something wrong with the registrar. Number 105 and number 106 did not come back. I think they went with someone. There is something wrong with another place."
"Continue." Zhang Xiaobao wanted to train others this time. Otherwise, it would have been better if he went out alone. He did not comment and just left these two words and went to eat.
Li Xun just finished eating with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Feng Changgong arrived. This time, there were not so many officials. There were only 12 yamen runners, including him, the registrar, the county magistrate, and a Taoist priest.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at them and found that Feng Changgong had dark circles under his eyes. The registrar also had dark circles under his eyes. The Taoist priest, who he saw with a telescope yesterday, had a red face.
Feng Changgong had dark circles under his eyes, but he seemed to be in good spirits. As soon as he arrived, he bowed to Li Xun and greeted Zhang Xiaobao, "Registrar Zhang, how is your cultivation? Come, let me introduce you. This is the dream-chasing Taoist priest from Dragon Tiger Mountain. Taoist priest, this is the registrar of Boxin County, Zhang Xiaobao. Although he is young, he is very capable. "
"Dragon Tiger Mountain? There is a place like this now? Dream-chasing Taoist priest is indeed immortal. "Zhang Xiaobao asked in puzzlement and praised the Taoist priest.
"Little friend, you are wrong. What is immortal and what is bone?" Dream-chasing Taoist priest swung his horsetail whisk and pulled it over.
Wang Juan looked at them from the side and did not say anything. She turned her head to the side and thought, 'You still want to play this game with Xiao Bao? Xiao Bao is going to trick you to death.'
Zhang Xiaobao really wanted to play with the other party, but considering that he had to deal with an important place in the construction site today, he did not have time to do it. He could only smile and pull Wang Juan to another place.
When he left, he didn't forget to give Li Xun a meaningful glance. Li Xun didn't make any response. Instead, she ignored the Daoist priest and turned to leave. No one knew where she went.
Feng Changgong, who felt that he was treated coldly, had an ugly expression. After a while, he smiled at Dream-chasing Taoist priest and said, "Taoist priest, please follow me. Of the three people just now, one is Prince Tong 'an, and the other two are the registrar and deputy magistrate of Boxin County. Although they are young, they are very capable. I heard that no one has ever been able to gain an advantage over them."
Dream-chasing Taoist priest had actually heard about them from Feng Changgong yesterday. When he heard it again today, he still had the same smile. Weiwei nodded and began to walk around the riverside openly.
When he reached the construction site, he flipped his hand and suddenly a compass appeared. He looked around with the compass and shook his head from time to time.
If it was in the past, the people would have gathered around to watch. However, no one in the construction site paid attention to him. They were all busy building houses in anticipation of a better life in the future.
Seeing the reaction of the people, Feng Changgong felt even more uncomfortable. The registrar next to him still had a flattering smile on his face. The deputy magistrate also frowned. Dream-chasing Taoist priest was still indifferent. He continued to walk along the riverside. After about a hundred steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at the compass and said, "This is not right.
This is not right. This is not right. Men are in charge of Yang while women are in charge of concealment. Why is this place so feminine when the sun shines directly? Disaster, this is a disaster. "
"Disaster? What disaster? Taoist priest, can you say it clearly?" Before Feng Changgong could say anything, the registrar asked loudly. He seemed very nervous and looked around from time to time.
Unfortunately, no one was listening to them at this time, because the sound of building houses was louder than their voices. There were two houses that needed beams. A group of people were shouting and carrying the wood. Their voices were both loud and soft, like a mix of harmonies, covering their voices.
Dream-chasing Taoist looked at Feng Changgong helplessly and said with a sigh, "This may not be a place to preach Taoism. It's better to travel on the cloud."
His meaning was very clear. I'm busy here for nothing. You can't do this either. No one is looking at you at all. You'd better give me the money I deserve and I'll continue to wander around elsewhere.
Feng Changgong was also very uncomfortable. He was more puzzled. When he came yesterday, there were people greeting him. Why was there no sound today? What was the difference?
How could he know? When he came here yesterday and went back and forth, he greeted people. However, when he had dinner in the evening, he found that those who greeted him worked slower than others. Just a little slower. The person in charge here didn't need Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to tell him personally. He was already unhappy.
When he went to sleep at night, he went to each tent and told them that they should work hard when it was time to work. Otherwise, they shouldn't be paid and shouldn't eat the food provided by others. This morning, he told the same thing to the people who went home last night.
Therefore, no one cared about other things today. They were busy with their own work so that they could be worthy of the wages and good food.
Seeing that no one responded, Feng Changgong looked at the registrar and the county magistrate anxiously, meaning that they should think of a way.
The registrar, who was usually very smart, responded to the county magistrate's look with a blank face at this time. He meant, "Why are you looking at me? I am not the person in charge of the site. "
Just when Feng Changgong had an impulse to strangle the registrar, the county magistrate took action. He went straight to the work place in front of them and said to those who still didn't look at him,
"The county magistrate has brought a powerful Taoist Master here. Do you want to see him? Hurry up. The Taoist Master Chasing Dream is very powerful."
After shouting, he waited for people to come over and ask, but this time, he was destined to fail. The people working had clearly heard him, but no one moved a muscle.
It was not that they didn't want to be seen by the Taoist Master, but they were afraid that they would delay the work and be driven away by others. Then they wouldn't be paid.
"It's over, they're all finished. They don't even know how big of a disaster they've provoked. If there were other fellow daoists here, we might have been able to help them. What a pity, what a pity that so many lives have been lost."
The Taoist Master Chasing Dream felt that he was treated coldly, so his words were not polite and were very vicious. Anyway, those who heard it felt uncomfortable.
"You're right. I'll ask the bailiffs to bring them here and let them know where they're going to end up. Someone, go and call everyone here."
Since the first plan failed, Feng Changgong came up with another one. This time, it was tougher.
Just as the yamen runners were about to brace themselves and call for her, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Fellow cultivator, may I know where you are from? Are you from Dragon Tiger Mountain? I heard that there are many fake Taoist priests there. Oh, my Taoist name is Rumeng. "
Feng Changgong and the others looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Taoist priest standing there. This Taoist priest looked more like a Taoist priest than the Taoist Master Chasing Dream. His white hair was tied up in a bun with a wooden hairpin. He was wearing linen clothes and a pair of shoes with thousand-layer soles.
In his hand was a horsetail whisk with the same silvery-white hair. Three strands of whiskers hung down for more than two feet. His face was full of wrinkles, but his complexion was rosy. Two long white eyebrows went down his cheeks and stopped at the line at the tip of his nose.
He looked at them with slightly opened eyes, as if he had seen through everything in the world of mortals. His eyes were filled with pity, helplessness, and wisdom.
"This … This Taoist priest is … is used to traveling. So you are Fellow Daoist Rumeng. This Taoist priest's Taoist name is Dream Chasing Dream. We are fated. May I know where you are from?"
Dream Chasing Dream wanted to say that he was from Mount Longhu, but when he heard that the people from Mount Longhu were all liars, he could only change his words and ask about the other party's identity.
The new Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and said with a sigh, "This Taoist priest is from Mount Longhu. Unfortunately, recently, many people have been using the name of the mountain to cheat everywhere. This Taoist priest is ashamed to speak. Speaking of which, this Taoist priest knows all the 108 Taoist priests of Mount Longhu. However, this Taoist priest has never seen many of them who claim to be from Mount Longhu. Do you think they are shameless?"
Rumeng seemed to be very sad. After saying that, he sighed again. With a flip of his hand, a compass appeared. In the other hand, Weiwei moved. The horsetail whisk suddenly disappeared and turned into a pen. Then, a cloud of green smoke rose. With a boom, many talismans appeared on Rumeng's body.
This time, all the workers stopped and looked at the new Daoist in a daze. It was really too amazing. Even Feng Changgong and the others opened their eyes wide and had a look of disbelief.
Dream Chasing Dream moved his hand, but he couldn't figure out how the other party changed. It was too fake for such a big horsetail whisk to disappear just like that.
He didn't think that the other party was a real immortal. He always felt that the other party had a special method. If there weren't so many people watching, he really wanted to go over and ask for advice. If he learned it, wouldn't he have a way to make money again?
Just as everyone was in a daze, Dream Chasing Dream held the compass in his hand and walked in a small circle twice. Then, he said, "That's not right. This is not an ordinary place."
When Dream Chasing Dream heard his words, he was happy and quickly said, "That's right. This Taoist priest also found that this place is not right, but no one listened to me. This Taoist priest thinks that this place belongs to the southwest. It is the time to offend the Celestial Wolf."
After saying that, he looked at the other party. He thought that the other party was like him and wanted to cheat some money. In this way, the other party would naturally cooperate with him.
Feng Changgong also had a look of hope on his face. He hoped that the other party could also scare others. This was a powerful move. Everyone else had stopped, but as long as he said a word, he might be able to make them leave.
The registrar at the side couldn't figure it out. He looked around in confusion and was about to move forward to see what was going on. Dream Chasing Dream suddenly shook his head and said, "That's not right. Fellow Daoist, it seems that your skills are not good enough, but you can't mislead the world. This place did not offend the Celestial Wolf, but a fish spirit who wanted to cause trouble here. Do you think so?"
As Dream Chasing Dream spoke, he had already walked to the riverside. His eyes looked at the flowing water with a very serious expression.
The hearts of the surrounding people also rose. They felt that this new Taoist priest was much more powerful than the previous one. At the very least, the changes back and forth were not something that the previous Taoist priest could compare to.
"Xiao Bao, I think that Li Xun is really burying his talent by being a Duke. I told him once yesterday and asked him to contact him. I didn't expect him to perform so well today. He should be shooting movies. He's clearly a natural actor."
Wang Juan, who was hiding elsewhere, whispered to Zhang Xiaobao. After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Zhang Xiaobao also had a look of admiration on his face. He also didn't expect Li Xun to be able to play his role so well. That day, when Li Xun had just arrived, he had thought that he was suitable to be a businessman. Today, it seemed that his real profession was definitely not a businessman. Of course, he was not an actor either. He was a swindler.
When he thought of this, he said, "I think I have a successor. No, I have to nurture him well and nurture him into a powerful person."
"You really think that being a swindler is an honor? You even want to trick Li Xun. Look, Li Xun is about to perform. He's going to scare them to death."
Wang Juan leaned her head on Zhang Xiaobao's shoulder and said with a smile.
This time, Daoist Dream Dreamer really had a new move. With a move of his hand, the front of the pen that looked like a judge's pen opened up like a lotus flower. He muttered something and suddenly stomped his feet together. After landing, he shook his head and sighed. "This fish has already become a spirit. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Dream Chaser can subdue it?"
'Subdue my ass. Where did this fish spirit come from? There's no such thing. He just refuted me, and now he wants me to cooperate? Dream on. '
Daoist Dream Chaser thought and shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, you must have seen wrongly. Where did this fish spirit come from? He clearly offended the Celestial Wolf. "
Feng Changgong also echoed, "That's right. He offended the Celestial Wolf. Daoist, you'd better hurry up and do other things."
Feng Changgong wanted to chase him away.
However, Daoist Dream Chaser let out a long sigh and didn't explain. He spun the judge's pen in his hand twice and pointed at the river. "Hey, demon, hurry up and die."
As soon as his voice fell, a burst of smoke came out of the judge pen in his hand. Without waiting for the smoke to dissipate, a pillar of water suddenly rose up from the river with a bang. With a splash, a five foot long fish fell to the ground.
