After dawn, Ji Changkong called Bei Dye, and the three of them came to the gate again. Keigo could only sigh that history is always strikingly similar, and the clever butler had already moved a stool to wait for the rabbit there, and in the end he was carried back to his room.

Beiran and Ji Changkong came to the street and acted separately as they did yesterday, but the things to ask today were different.

The two of them went to one side, Ji Changkong went to a teahouse, and Beiran entered a tavern.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a burst of cheers from the table next to him, which shocked Beiran and covered his ears.

Several people coaxed and said to a man in gray: "You lose, drink, drink." ”

Another said, "Okay, good, I'll drink." Then he picked up the cup on the table and drank it down.

After drinking, everyone rolled up their sleeves again and said, "Come again!" Then he grabbed a wooden cup on the table and shook it vigorously in his hand. It turned out that they were playing dice in a crowd, and those who lost were punished for drinking.

Bei Ran hooked her lips and smiled, shaking the dice, she is very good at this.

He copied a pot of wine on his table, went to the table next to him, and said, "A few big brothers, can you add me to one, there are so many people." ”

The men all looked up at her, and when they saw that it was a little girl, they thought it was quite strange, so they agreed, "Okay, you can sit down." Besides, seeing that she looks good, even if she doesn't play well, sitting here can give everyone a good look.

A few handfuls down, but a few people were dumbfounded, if it weren't for the fact that the dice were their own, they would definitely think that this girl was out of the old man. Because since she came, she has won every handful, and they have drunk so much that they are dizzy. Slowly admired Bei Dye in his heart, and his technique was so powerful at a young age.

Seeing that several people were on the rise, Bei Ran began to try to ask them about the matter: "A few big brothers, can I ask you about something." ”

They said, "Okay, you ask." ”

Bei Ran said: "In the east of this city, there is a big family surnamed Zhang, do you know? ”

One said: "Hey, the great benevolent Zhang family, who doesn't know in this city." ”

Bei Ran said excitedly: "Are you very familiar, can you tell me about it." ”

The man: "What do you want to hear?" ”

Beiran said: "Since you say that they are great good people, then tell me what kind of good law they are." ”

The man said, "Okay." After a sip of wine, he began to talk endlessly.

said that it was this Zhang family, and at the beginning, it was not so good. It was from three years ago that a Taoist with great powers came to their mansion and cured the young lady of her illness for many years. The chief said that the young lady's illness can be cured because of the blessing of the gods, and now that the illness is cured, she has to make a vow to the gods and do more good deeds.

Since then, they have been doing good deeds. During the New Year's holidays, they would set up a shed at the door and prepare many portions of pastries and food to entertain the people passing by.

There used to be many beggars in the city, and every time there was a fair, they all ran out to beg, and one after another they could go around the city, blocking the streets and making it impossible to walk. Later, the Zhang government gathered all these people together, and assigned them jobs that were still healthy, so that they could support themselves and start a family; For those with disabilities, a courtyard was built for them to live in, and special personnel were arranged to serve them; He also called on the wealthy merchants in the city to donate money to the old, weak, sick and disabled in this hospital, so that they can have support for the old and sick.

It was also because of this incident that the Zhang family became famous in one fell swoop, and for a time the name of Master Zhang became a household name, celebrities came to visit when they heard the news, and literati and ink writers wrote poems and praised them.

Some people say that he did these things to show everyone in order to make a good name. But this is not the case, in addition to these great good deeds that will be left for centuries, they also do those small good deeds that are not known.

For example, if the roof of a nearby family is broken, they have a lot of people in Zhangfu, and they will send a family member to help repair it; When a family gives birth to a child, they will ask an experienced nurse in the house to help deliver the baby, and when the child is full moon, they will also send a peace charm from the temple.

No matter how big or small, it is indeed the word good to the extreme.

But when asked if they had heard anything strange in their house, everyone shook their heads and said, "No." ”

Bei Ran said: "Then have you ever heard of who is that Taoist leader?" Where's the fight? ”

After thinking about it, several people shook their heads and said, "I haven't heard of him, I only know that he is a cultivator, he usually goes alone, and he rarely goes out, and we haven't seen him." ”

Bei Ran nodded, and arched his hand: "That's tired." ”

One person said strangely: "You don't even know this, you are not from this city, are you?" ”

Kitazan smiled, "That's true. I don't live in the city, my home is in a small mountain village in the suburbs, a little far from here, today I came to the city with my brother, and I heard others talk about this family on the street, so I was a little curious, so I asked a few more questions. ”

The man said, "Oh, that's right. Then he patted his chest and said confidently: "It's okay, if you don't understand something, just ask us, there is nothing in this city that we don't know." My brother and I often drink at this tavern, and if you come back in the future, you can come here to play with us. ”

The rest of the people also said, "Yes, yes." ”

Beiran smiled: "Then thank you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Ji Changkong coming in. He stood up and beckoned to him, shouting, "Brother Changkong, I'm here." ”

Ji Changkong heard the sound and looked at her.

Bei Ran clasped his hands into fists and said, "Everyone, my brother has come to me, so I will say goodbye first and meet another day." ”

Several people also bowed their hands and said: "See you another day!" ”

After saying goodbye, Bei Ran rushed to the place in Ji Changkong.

Bei Dye heard a lot of news here, and Ji Changkong also gained a lot.

He went to the teahouse, but found no reliable source, so he moved to the next place. As soon as I walked into the street, I heard a woman on the road ahead shouting, "You bastard, if you don't study well with your master next time, I will kick you out of the house." ”

Next to her, a teenage boy stood in front of her, tilting his head and looking unconvinced. She was teaching her son a lesson.

She was so angry that she blew her beard and stared, and shouted loudly, but the child was not afraid, and said: "Hurry up, it's a big deal, I'll go to Master Zhang's mansion and be an errand boy for him, and I can support myself without studying." With that, he pulled out his legs and ran across the road.

The woman was furious and about to go and arrest him, when a runaway carriage came out of the side path, and rushed straight to this side. There was a man sitting in the carriage, clutching the reins tightly, but he could not slow down the horse's speed by half a minute, and shouted anxiously: "Let go, everyone!" Get out of the way! ”

Pedestrians on the road fled in all directions, and when they were about to bump into the little boy, the woman froze with her mouth wide open.

Ji Changkong came back to his senses in an instant, and immediately flew forward to save the child. After being safe, the woman ran over crying, hugged the little boy and said, "What are you running around blindly, you scared my mother to death." ”

And the child was really frightened by the carriage, and he cried loudly, hugged his mother and cried: "Mother, mother......"

The woman wiped his tears and reassured, "It's all right now, it's all right." When the little boy's mood stabilized, the woman took him to Ji Changkong and said, "Thank you, brother, this brother saved you." ”

The little boy said obediently, "Thank you, brother." "There was still some crying in my nose.

After the boy thanked him, the woman said again: "Thank you, son, if it weren't for the rescue, my child would probably be dead today." ”

Ji Changkong said: "It's okay, it's just a gesture, it's just that there are many cars and horses on this road, with children, you have to be careful." ”

The woman said, "Yes, yes." Then she invited Ji Changkong to a nearby home for a cup of tea, saying that it was a simple thank you to him, Ji Changkong excused himself a few times, but the woman was gracious, and finally he went.

Sitting at the table, he took a sip of the tea handed by the woman, and asked, "Madam, I just heard your child talk about Master Zhang, and I am a little curious, can you tell me who this Master Zhang is?" ”

The woman was grateful to him for saving her child, so she knew everything he asked. So he sat down at the table and began to speak slowly.

"This old man Zhang is a great benevolent person in our city, not only has he done many well-known good deeds such as opening porridge sheds to relieve the victims, building courtyards, and taking in the elderly, but he will also try his best to help us neighbors sometimes do their best to help with small things at home."

"It wasn't very peaceful in our city before, and occasionally there were some traffickers who abducted boys and young girls, and sold the children to coolie workshops, and the girls were sold to the brothels of the green houses. After Master Zhang found out, he sent someone to redeem these children and girls, and those who could find their families were sent home, and those who could not be found stayed in his house as maids, so that they could also have a proper job. ”

"In addition to those who have been trafficked, they will also take in those who are in the middle of the road and live on the streets for their own reasons. It also regularly recruits some girls and men from outside to work in the house, which reduces everyone's employment pressure. ”

Then she smiled awkwardly and said, "That's why this kid in my family said that if he doesn't study, he will go to work in Master Zhang's mansion." ”

Then she continued: "These maids, if they don't want to do it in the mansion one day, they can also tell Master Zhang themselves, and let them leave without collecting a penny of redemption money." For those maids who have been doing it for a long time, Zhang Fu will also help them find a good family to marry! I have two sisters who have a good time here, they used to work in Zhang's Mansion and married here. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Changkong interrupted her and said, "Then has this Zhang Mansion always been so peaceful?" Has anything bad ever happened? ”

The woman thought for a moment and affirmed, "No." At least I've been here for a few years and haven't heard of it. ”

Ji Changkong asked again: "I was in the teahouse before, and I heard that this Miss Zhang has a master, has Mrs. heard of this person?" ”

The woman said, "You're talking about the Taoist who traveled here." He is also a celebrity, knows medical skills, knows Taoism, many people know him, but he rarely goes out, and few people have seen him. Last month, a half-year-old child died in a family in the north of the city, and I was fortunate to invite the zodiac chief to go to the scene to practice and chant the sutra excessively. I followed my husband to mourn, and I was fortunate enough to see a beautiful young man, who was really young and promising. ”

After chatting for a while, thanking the woman for the invitation, Ji Changkong got up and said goodbye. After coming out, he did not immediately go to find Bei Dye to meet, but went to visit the families of the women who married from Zhang's mansion one by one, and it was not bad as he expected, and sure enough, these female dependents were all eaten off their internal organs to varying degrees, just like those in the mansion now.

He also went to find the grave of the child buried in the north of the city last month, it was a new grave, the land was still loose, and the coffin could be easily fished out. He opened the lid of the coffin, and the body of the child inside had begun to decompose, but this did not affect the purpose of his trip. After inspecting it, I finally found that the child's five internal organs were all gone, and the whole body was an empty shell!

After reading this, Ji Changkong had already obtained the answer he wanted, and he re-closed the coffin lid and sent it back to the ground, and then sealed the soil, so that there was no trace of movement.

Then he went back to the city and went to the tavern to look for Kita, and sure enough, she was still inside, talking to a group of people.

After integrating the clues, the two began to return home, and on the way, Beiran remembered a small episode she heard when she chatted with those people today.

When she was young, Master Zhang and General Lin of the Zhenguo General's Mansion made the decision, and set a baby kiss for the children of the two of them, if it was according to the marriage date, she should have been married two years ago. But just a month before the wedding, Miss Zhang suddenly said that he didn't want to marry General Lin's son, and she had to wait a little longer and find someone she liked by fate.

General Zhang was very angry when he heard the news, and he didn't agree to anything, and he asked Master Zhang and others to be driven out of the mansion. But later, I don't know why, General Lin suddenly agreed, so there was the later hydrangea recruiting relatives and Jingwu being arrested into Zhang's mansion.

I don't know if this matter has anything to do with what they want to investigate, anyway, Bei Ran also told Ji Changkong about it.

The clues found in the past few days have already made Ji Changkong sort out the general situation, but now after listening to it, there is a trace of confusion.
