Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 142 Mouse Spider Spirit

After the matter of the Houya was settled, Hu Qiangang had a conversation with Rong Ning'er, and someone outside the lobby was beating drums and shouting for grievances.

Rong Ning'er hurriedly put on Hu Qian's official uniform and sent him out.

When we arrived at the lobby, we thought it would be a big case, but the neighbors quarreled because the tiles of the family were stretched too long, and then they started fighting.

After listening to the two of them patiently, Hu Qian directly rewarded each of them with twenty tiles and ordered the family to replace the long tiles.

The other person had just been hit by the board, and when he heard the sentence, he immediately said happily: "Thank you, sir! Your excellency is wise!"

After finishing speaking, he said to the neighbor: "Hmph! Even if I get hit by a board, I have to let you change it!"

Hu Qian was speechless for a while.

After a while, someone beat the drum again, and it was a similar thing.

The owner said that the West family had stolen his chicken, and the West family said it hadn't. The two quarreled endlessly, and even started to fight in front of Hu Qian.

Hu Qian slapped the gavel, "Come here! Everyone hits the long memory ten times first! Let them stop roaring in court."

The two of them froze immediately, kneeling on the ground without daring to say a word.

Hu Qian walked up to the defendant and shouted, "Look at me!"

The man subconsciously looked up.

Hu Qian instantly used his magic power of nightmare prayer, "Are you a chicken thief!"

"I... did steal..."

"Where's the chicken!"

"In a cage in a pigsty..."

Hu Qian said again: "Come here, go to his house and look for it, is the chicken still there?"

That is to say, two yamen servants hurried away, and after a while, they came back with a cage.

When the plaintiff saw it, he immediately said happily, "It's my chicken."

Hu Qian stood up and said: "Come here, hit fifty first, and then go for tattooing!"

The sentencing of the crime of theft in the Dagan Dynasty is still relatively strict. The basic value of theft is more than 120 yuan, so it is necessary to consider whether to use hanging.

And the first offender will have the word "theft" tattooed on his right arm, the second offender will have the word "thief" tattooed on his left arm, and the third offender will be sentenced to death.

Seeing that Hu Qian only asked a few words, this man confessed, and everyone couldn't help being shocked and speechless.

The defendant kowtowed repeatedly as he took the chicken coop, "Master is really good at solving cases like a god!"

Within a long time, Hu Qian's ability to solve the case was spread all over the city.

Even Rong Ning'er from the Houya laughed and said, "Master's reputation spreads far and wide, and the thieves and robbers in the city will definitely restrain themselves a lot."

Hu Qian was a little uninterested, and while pulling her to sit on his lap, he said, "Yingcai, pour a cup of tea."

Yingcai went out immediately, and when she came back, she saw the two hugging each other and kissing.

She couldn't help but blushed, and put the teacup on the table, "Master, please have some tea."

Hu Qian said, "I'll go out in the afternoon."

"Where?"

"just looking around."

"Then let Hu Jiu accompany Mr. Xianggong."

"Need not."

After lunch, Hu Qian went out immediately, strolled west, not far, and asked people to arrive at the Sili Bridge.

I wanted to find out where Xiaoqian's ashes were buried, but I couldn't see anything in broad daylight.

He was thinking of using Fushui magical powers to come to the land to ask questions, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Kong Xueli carrying paper money and incense candles to the forest.

"Brother Kong."

He yelled and immediately chased after him.

Kong Xueli turned her head to see Hu Qian, and immediately bowed and said: "Kong Xueli has met the magistrate."

Hu Qian said with a smile: "Brother Kong is a scholar, why bother to stick to these customs."

Kong Xueli smiled, but did not speak.

Hu Qian said again: "What? Are you looking down on me?"

Kong Xueli immediately cupped his hands and said: "How dare you, it's just that I really admire your literary talents, admire your character, feel ashamed of yourself, and don't know what to say to your master."

Hu Qian said: "You and I admire each other, so we should get along as friends. The words below are respectful, I don't know Brother Kong..."

Kong Xueli was startled at first, and then said: "The next word is Bo Yan."

"Bo Yan, we will be friends from now on."

"Brother respectful."

"Brother Boyan, who are you going to pay homage to?"

"My cousin Nie Xiaoqian."

Hu Qian nodded, "Actually, I also want to come to worship."

"Does Jinggong know Xiaoqian too?"

"When I went to Jinling, I happened to meet Master Nie coming to Guobei County to take office, so I met her."

Kong Xueli said happily: "So that's the case, then go to Mingxin Temple with me."

"Mingxin Temple?"

"Yes, I have already moved Xiaoqian's ashes to Mingxin Temple."

Hu Qian nodded, "Master Nie's spirit in heaven will definitely be grateful to you."

The two talked and talked, and after walking for half an hour, they arrived at an ancient temple.

Hu Qian looked at the plaque carefully.

It is Mingxin Temple.

When the monks in the temple saw Kong Xueli, they all gave Buddhist rituals and were extremely respectful.

Hu Qian said: "It seems that even the monks in the temple admire Brother Kong's talent and learning."

"Where, it's just that there are too many Buddhist scriptures copied, and occasionally I have some insights. When I usually talk, I also say it together. I never thought that all the masters would agree."

As he walked, he arrived at the pagoda in the backyard in a short while.

Kong Xueli walked to a grid, first lit the joss stick, and then burned the paper money.

"Xiaoqian, Master Hu and I have come to see you.

You should recognize him. "

While burning, I found a wooden stick to draw a circle around the paper money.

"You stay well here, don't be too homesick, if I go back later, I will definitely take you back."

Hu Qian took a closer look, and there seemed to be a faint chill in the columbarium, perhaps because it was daytime, so it didn't look formed.

The two bowed and were about to leave when they heard a shout.

"The mouse spirit is here again, catch it quickly."

Immediately there were two monks with sticks in their hands and chased into the pagoda.

Hu Qian asked curiously: "What? Are there any rats here?"

Kong Xueli said: "I have never seen it before. It is said that there is a white-haired mouse that steals lamp oil in the Buddhist hall all day long. The monks on duty have been unable to catch it."

"It's just a mouse, how can it be a sperm?"

"I heard that it is because it can speak human words, but I have never heard of it."

Hu Qian glanced in the direction where the two monks left, but saw nothing.

Just after leaving the pagoda, I heard someone shout again: "The mouse ran to Zen Master Liufa!"

Hu Qian and the two looked interesting from behind, so they followed a few monks to a Buddhist hall.

I saw many monks gathered at the door, all of them stretched their necks to look in.

Kong Xueli was curious and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

The monk said: "Master Kong, look quickly! The mouse spirit ran into the hands of Zen Master Liufa and stopped running away, just like his pet."

Kong Xueli immediately looked in through the gap in the crowd.

Behind him, although Hu Qian hasn't seen what's going on inside, he has detected it with his supernatural powers.

The white-haired mouse has indeed become a monster.

It's just that Zen Master Liufa holding it in his hand is also a monster!
Looking at its appearance, it seems to be a spider spirit.
