Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 294 Buddha Bone
Spring goes and autumn comes, and in a blink of an eye it is the end of the new year.

Hu Qian basically handed over all the affairs of the procuratorate to Xu Fengnian and Kong Xueli, and if there were really difficult things to solve, he would come to him again.

Anyway, Emperor Guangde didn't care about his affairs, and the rest didn't dare to do so even if they wanted to.

However, as the court official of the inspector's office, he still goes there every once in a while.

Everyone in the inspector's yamen knew his ability, so no one dared to mess around, let alone Xu Fengnian and Kong Xueli were here.

As for the governor of Liangping, the governor of Dongping, and the chief envoy of Dongping, it would be good if Hu Qian didn't trouble them. How dare they take care of Hu Qian's affairs.

He has always acted cautiously as long as there was no such person at the time.

Hu Qian lived the life of a rich man with peace of mind.

What made him helpless was that he had just taken back his avatar, and he would receive a letter from Wu Ruoyu in a few days, asking him to send the things over quickly.

Although he has supernatural powers, the avatar can't be like a cruise missile, which can go directly from him to Wu Ruoyu's loophole through hundreds of thousands of miles.

So every time Wu Ruoyu was in a hurry, he could only put the avatar on Bai He's back, and let her carry it to Wu Ruoyu for enjoyment, and then take it back every few days.

However, in this way, Wu Ruoyu took up too much time, and all the people in the family stopped talking.

Chu Chu, who was not pregnant, was the first to notice something was wrong, and wondered if Hu Qian was too indulgent and powerless.

But this matter is bigger than the sky for a man, so she definitely can't talk about it directly, so she often invites Hu Qian to the house, and asks Jiao Na for some nourishing prescriptions to nourish Hu Qian's body.

Hu Qian understood immediately, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, is it because you are not satisfied with your husband?"

Chu Chu hurriedly said: "I, I just feel that my husband is working hard, so I..."

Hu Qian said: "Okay, I know what you think, but there is something hidden in it, it's just not convenient to tell you right now."

Although he wanted to be tough, but he didn't have any weapons at this time, he guessed that it would not be a solution in the long run, so he comforted Chu Chu a few more words, then closed his eyes and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Chu Chu gently pressed and beat his back, but her eyes glanced at his thigh from time to time.

If she was afraid that Hu Qian would be angry, she wanted to take the initiative.

Hu Qian didn't fall asleep immediately, but never idled for a moment.

Sometimes even though I wanted to give her some time to deal with, but the stamina of the two was not at the same level at all, and they were not in the same place, so it was really difficult.

He and Wu Ruoyu are like two horses, he is a thousand-mile horse, and Wu Ruoyu is an ordinary horse.

Wu Ruoyu just ran for two miles and he was done, but he had just warmed up, so it wasn't time for anything to happen.

Besides, King Zhennan had been dead for a long time, if news of the princess' pregnancy came out at this time, Wu Ruoyu must have died without death.

After thinking for a long time, there is still no good way.

It wouldn't work if Wu Ruoyu was taken over, firstly, Wu Ruoyu would definitely disagree, and secondly, how would he explain it to his family?
Want to accept the princess as a concubine?
Even if Emperor Guangde didn't care about his affairs, he probably wouldn't be able to watch the royal family being humiliated.

After much deliberation, there is no good way.

Seeing that he hadn't moved, Chu Chu fell asleep obediently, and slowly crawled into his arms like a kitten.

Hu Qian couldn't bear it anymore, how could he belittle his family because of a princess.

He immediately had a thought, and the avatar came back in an instant, still full of moisture.

At this time, he couldn't care about these anymore, he turned over and hugged Chuchu in his arms, and took off his clothes like poking and peeling an onion.

Needless to say, Chu Chu already felt the scorching heat on her body and catered enthusiastically.

A night of lingering, nothing to worry about.

As a result, after three days, a letter came from Nande.

At this time, Hu Qian told her that there are many wives and concubines in the family, and there is no time for him to take care of him. If the princess does not dislike her, she can come to Anhu Mansion, and she will be treated well here. At least, every day, she will be full!

The concubine didn't reply, she didn't know what she was thinking.

In the morning, Hu Qian went to check on Hu Butong's situation. Fortunately, he recovered well.

It's just that every once in a while, they say they want Mrs. Zhao to bring the child over to have a look.

Mrs. Zhao also wanted to hug her grandson, but she knew that such a big child would have to breastfeed every once in a while, so she didn't do it, but went to Shen Yuzhen's yard from time to time.

Hu Qian looked at it, and also knew that Shen Yuzhen and the others had given birth to children, and it would be inconvenient to be crowded in the same yard, so he asked Axiu and the others to move back to their own yards.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw her, she didn't go back all day, even tidied up the house in the yard, and just stayed there.

This time, Hu Tong became even more anxious, and stopped looking for someone to play chess, and wandered around the yard day after day.

Because it is the first time to celebrate the New Year in Anhu Mansion, there are a lot of things to prepare.

Fortunately, Hu Jiu has been familiar with Anhu Mansion for a long time, and he will buy many things, and then check the accounts with Xiaohuan.

Shen Yuzhen, Rong Ning'er, and Xue Ningshuang were all busy taking care of their children, and Axiu and Lu Huanniang couldn't get away, so Hu Qian took Chuchu, Jiaona, and Sister Feng to the street to play.

Unexpectedly, Princess Zhiying knew about it, and she also said that she would go out with her to have a look and burn incense in the temple by the way.

Hu Qian said: "In your situation, it seems that it is inconvenient to go out."

Zhiying took out a face towel and put it on, and said with a smile: "Although the yard is big, it is no more lively than the outside after all."

Hu Qian nodded, then took her and Cai'er with him, asked Erzhu to drive a cart, and the group went out.

There were so many people shopping for New Year's goods on the street, it was bustling, and after a few people left the city, the carriage could finally go smoothly.

There are many famous temples in Anhu Prefecture, and the most famous one is Duling Temple on the rocky mountain by the lake.

In the beginning, Duling Temple was just a little-known small temple. Suddenly one day, a skull that could recite scriptures appeared in the temple. The monks in the temple said it was caused by Buddhism.

Since then, Duling Temple has become famous.

Many people went to visit, wanting to see what this skull that can chant sutras is.

Hu Qian heard Zhiying talk about it in the car, and asked her how she knew it.

Zhiying said: "I have nothing to do in my spare time. I have read many Buddhist books, so I know."

Hu Qian nodded, "This matter is very different from your personality. Could it be that you want to escape into Buddhism?"

Zhiying shook her head and said: "Everyone can become a Buddha, and he can become a Buddha anywhere, there is no need to escape into Buddhism.

Besides, if I leave your protection, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to live until tomorrow. "

Chu Chu and the others didn't dare to open their mouths when they heard them talking like this.

Hu Qian didn't care, and said, "It's been a long time now, so it shouldn't be..."

Zhiying sighed, "I've been missing for so long, has he ever looked for me?"

After a while, Duling Temple arrived, and the two didn't say anything more.

On the mountain road, there was an endless stream of people who came to offer incense. Although Chu Chu and other women were wearing face scarves, their good looks still attracted a lot of attention.

But when they saw Hu Qian, everyone's heart jumped again, and they turned their heads quickly, pretending to be indifferent.

After summoning souls by the lake, almost everyone in Anhu Mansion had heard of Hu Qian's name, and there were quite a few who could match him.

Regardless of his status as a third-rank member of the imperial court, or his unpredictable spells, ordinary people cannot provoke them.

So no one would foolishly touch Hu Qian's bad luck.

But there are such blind spots on the mountain road.

Seeing that Chuchu and the others were graceful and charming, the three sons ran over and said with a smile: "Hey, what kind of lady is this, are you going to offer incense? Do you want us to accompany you up there?"

Hu Qian shook his head helplessly, and then punched each of them, hitting the three of them heavily to the ground, clutching their stomachs and screaming for a long time, but still couldn't get up.

One of them said: "Good boy! Which family are you from! You even hit your uncle!"

Hu Qian walked over and lifted him up, "I'm Hu Qian."

The man's face immediately changed, and he opened his mouth and said, "So it's Mr. Hu, the student doesn't know Mount Tai..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Qian punched him in the stomach again, and shouted, "Go away!"

The three of them didn't dare to say anything more, even though they were sweating from the pain, they didn't dare to cry out.

A passerby who didn't know Hu Qian asked, "Is this Mr. Hu Qian?"

"That's right, alas, these three scumbags really don't know how to live or die. Even members of Mr. Hu's family dare to tease and seek death."

Amidst the crowd's discussion, Hu Qian and the others had already reached the halfway up the mountain.

Because it is located on the southern coast, there are many evergreen trees on the mountain, and there are many mountains and mountains. Looking far away, the lake is like a fast emerald, lying there quietly.

Chu Chu smiled and said: "If Sister Ning'er knows, she might be envious."

Hu Qian said: "After this period of time, she will have time to play."

But just after entering the temple, someone shouted: "The Buddha bones have come out! The Buddha bones that can chant sutras have come out."

In the past, ordinary pilgrims would not have seen the Buddha bone at all, that is, the Duling Temple only displayed the Buddha bone in the past few days when the new year was over.

Even so, it was only for a short while, and the people standing behind couldn't see it at all.

Hu Qian and the others were about to go in and have a look, when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Fake! Why doesn't this Buddha bone speak!"

"Exactly! It's not the same as before."

Amidst the crowd's discussion, someone suddenly screamed: "The Buddha bone, the Buddha bone has been replaced."

Then there was a burst of people screaming and screaming, a monk was pushed to the ground, grabbed a man's ankle, and shouted: "Don't go, you stole the Buddha bone."

The man said: "You monk, why are you insulting people's innocence for no reason?"

The two chattered back and forth and bumped into Hu Qian.

When the monk saw Hu Qian, he immediately said happily, "It's Mr. Hu Qian, I beg Mr. Hu to make the decision!"

When everyone saw Hu Qian, they were immediately shocked—there was no one in Anhu Mansion who didn't know Hu Qian.

Among other things, in the last thirteen murder case, the two magistrates couldn't figure out the reason, but Hu Qian solved the case clearly within a few days. No one in the Anhu Mansion was unconvinced. .

Seeing him here at this time, everyone knew that the missing Buddha bone could probably be found.

Hu Qian said to the monk: "Let go of your hand, and then guard the way down the mountain, don't let anyone go."

The monk was overjoyed and hurried to take people there.

Hu Qian said in a loud voice: "Fellow folks, this official is Hu Qian, the procurator of Dongping. Since the Buddha bones have been stolen, then I can't decide the case."

As soon as this remark came out, even those who wanted to leave after burning the incense had to stay.

However, everyone knows Hu Qian's name, but many people only hear his name but not the person, and there are even fewer people who have seen him solve the case.

So even if they stayed and watched such a wonderful show, no one complained, in fact, no one dared to complain.

Hu Qian and Chu Chu said something, and walked to the front to have a look.

Master Xuanku, the abbot of Duling Temple, hurried forward and proclaimed the Buddha's name, "Master Hu, this Buddha bone is the treasure of our temple, please help Master Hu."

Hu Qian nodded, said politely, and then set his eyes on the high platform under the Buddha statue.

There is an incense table on the high platform, and on it is a tray covered with a yellow cloth. At this moment, there is a dead man's skull on the cloth.

"Master, are you sure that this Buddha bone is fake?"

"Of course, the real Buddha bone is smooth and moist, and it can chant scriptures just by knocking on the wooden fish, but this one is extremely rough, and..."

As he spoke, he signaled the monk next to him to knock on the wooden fish.

Sure enough, the Buddha bone did not respond at all.

"Master, is the Buddha bone originally on this?"

Master Xuan Ku said: "Exactly."

"When did you see me?"

"The poor monk originally came in with this tray. When he came here, he just put down the Buddha bone and gave a salute to the donors in front of him. When he looked again, he found that the Buddha bone was not right. Then he knocked on the wooden fish. Sure enough, it was switched."

Hu Qian nodded, and looked around with deep and magical powers, but he didn't find anything strange.

On the contrary, the long-standing gloomy air on the fake Buddha bone seems to have just been taken out of the coffin.

He nodded, then looked at the man who had been grabbed by the monk before, and asked, "Who are you, tell me your name."

The man straightened his clothes and said solemnly, "The student is from Anhu Prefecture, Qian Boming."

"Oh? Do you have any fame?"

"The student won the Juren last time, but the ranking was at the bottom, and the vacancy has not been filled."

Hu Qian nodded, "Why did the mage in this temple say that you stole the Buddha bone?"

Qian Boming said: "The students have heard about the reputation of the Buddha bone in Duling Temple for a long time, and they heard that it will be exhibited today, so they came early and squeezed in front to watch, but who knew they would be regarded as people who stole the Buddha bone.

The students asked themselves how they were regarded as thieves because they were jurors, and asked the adults to find the Buddha bone and restore the student's innocence. "

Hu Qian looked at him, it didn't seem like he was lying, but it was still impossible to tell based on the surface, but under the eyes of everyone, Qian Boming's spirit was so good that he couldn't even use his magical powers to pray.

He thought for a while, then looked at the fake Buddha bone, and suddenly smiled: "Since the road down the mountain is blocked, are all the pilgrims here?"

A monk said: "Yes."

Hu Qian said: "Well, the person who stole the Buddha's bones is probably among us, so I would like to advise you first. If you confess at this time, I will give you a lighter punishment. It's time to wait for a big punishment."

As soon as the words fell, no one in the hall spoke.

Hu Qian said: "Well, then the official will come to ask this fake Buddha bone, who put it here?"
