"You don't understand, this is called warding off disaster!" Someone else shook his head and said, "If our ancestors hadn't warded off this disaster for our unworthy descendants, who knows what kind of disaster would have happened."
This statement was agreed by most people, and even Feng Shouze felt it made sense.
Suddenly, several people came running over, wailing loudly. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the wooden signs, shouting things like "were unfilial descendants and had caused trouble for our ancestors."
"Do we want to move the ancestral hall?" a spectator asked loudly.
"I dare not disturb our ancestors again. My uncle has already rushed to the city to ask for help from the pole. He will be back soon."
Feng Shouze was obviously stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but ask, "Has the reputation of the Bantan Gang even been known in this remote place?"
"The youngest son of my uncle is a disciple of the Bantan Gang... Master Constable, could you help move this boulder?"
Seeing Feng Shouze with iron chains wrapped around his arms and a yellow leather bag in his hand, the man's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly asked for help.
"No, no"
Feng Shouze waved his hand and said, "Everyone has their own expertise. You should let the shoulder pole gang do the heavy work. I can't move such a big rock."
.......
After the crowd gradually dispersed, Tangtang and Feng Shouze also continued on their journey.
"Can the Bantan Gang really move such a big stone?" On the way, the little girl asked Feng Shouze curiously.
Among the people she knew, Jing Jie was considered to be very strong.
But even with the well ring, it is hard to say whether it can move the huge rock.
"Can"
Feng Shouze answered without thinking: "As long as two core disciples come forward, it will be no problem to carry away the huge stone."
"Wow"
The little girl slowed down her pace, hesitating whether to return to the village and wait for a few days to see the strong man carrying the huge rock.
"You don't have to go back to see them. As long as you travel in Zhao for a while, you will have the opportunity to see them picking things."
Feng Shouze smiled and said, "Just go to the city more often. The Shoulder Pole Gang usually operates in the city. As long as there is enough money, there is nothing they can't carry."
The two chatted and laughed along the way, and Feng Shouze told Tangtang many interesting stories that he had heard or experienced personally.
Then, the topic inadvertently turned to the general situation in the world, which is what men like to talk about.
"After destroying the grassland, Cang State has not stopped at all. Now its troops are heading straight for Sang State. King Sang is still rational. He did not deploy troops on the border to fight a decisive battle with Cang State. Instead, he adopted the tactic of clearing the countryside."
Feng Shouze sighed and said, "I think Zhao should send troops to support Sang, but the king has already sent back the Sang envoys not long ago. King Sang can only hope for the best."
what!
Tangtang had been looking for Xiaobai in Yufu Kingdom and had no idea that Cang Kingdom was fighting with Sang Kingdom again.
"The Cang Kingdom is so evil. Why does it always think about invading others?" the little girl said angrily.
"He wants to unify the world. King Cang is very ambitious."
"Tangtang thinks we should unite and defeat the big bad guy together!"
Hearing this, Feng Shouze could not help but nod his head repeatedly and said, "We will unite. Shang and Xu have already formed an alliance. I heard that the envoys have already rushed to our Zhao. After the three countries of Shang, Xu and Zhao form an alliance, we will make sure that the Bai guy will never come back!"
When the three kingdoms formed an alliance, why didn't they include the Sang Kingdom?
Tangtang raised this question.
“This should involve some historical issues.”
This topic is too big and too complicated, and Feng Shouze can't explain it clearly. He can only give such a general answer.
.......
After arriving in the town, Feng Shouze and Tangtang parted ways.
After handing Huang Pizi over to the town's magic arrester, he continued his vacation, while Tangtang took the pearl to the pawn shop to exchange money.
"This pearl is so big and round, it's definitely not an ordinary pearl. May I ask where did you get it from?"
Since the shopkeeper asked, Tangtang answered truthfully: "This is the apprenticeship gift from the prince of Sang Kingdom."
Many times, if something is too unbelievable, no one will believe it even if it is true.
But the shopkeeper believed it!
He blurted out the word "Master", then excitedly took away the tea and personally brought a bowl of sweet soup to the little girl.
"Do you know Tangtang?"
"I've heard of your great name for a long time. You may not have noticed when you came in. This is the Sun family pawn shop."
Seeing that the little girl still didn't seem to react, the shopkeeper further explained: "When the master was in Sang Country, he helped the young masters of the Sun family communicate with each other. Thanks to your successful contact with the late master, the young masters finally divided the family property peacefully."
"Oh!"
Tangtang nodded, remembering that this was indeed the case.
"Mr. Sun Qisun, does the master still remember you?"
After discovering that Master Tangtang didn't seem to be that impressed with the Sun family, the pawnshop owner became more cautious in his tone.
"I remember, it was Sun Qi who took Tangtang, Master Zhang and the fellow villagers to the Sun Mansion."
The little girl asked in a nostalgic tone: "Is Sun Qi okay now?"
.........
Before the outcome of Cang Kingdom and Grassland could be decided, the Sun family increased its investment in Zhao Kingdom.
And Sun Qi is the one who came here to develop his family business!
After learning that Sun Qi was in Wuwei City of Zhao State and was talking about her every day, the girl happily decided to visit her old friend.
The pawnshop owner immediately prepared a carriage and personally delivered Tangtang.
"Master, please save Sangguo——"
The meeting scene was different from what he had imagined. Sun Qi burst into tears as soon as he met her.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Tangtang knows that Sang Country is at war with Cang Country. But Tangtang can't help much with this war."
When Tangtang was traveling in Sang Country, she made many friends in Sang Country.
Besides, the eldest prince of Sang Kingdom is her apprentice, so if there is anything she can do to help, Tangtang will definitely be willing to help.
but......
"Master, please come in. Let's go inside and talk in detail."
After hearing that the little girl was willing to help but just didn't know how, Sun Qi wiped his tears and quickly invited her into the house.
Chapter 240 Mountain Doll
After inviting Tangtang into the house, Sun Qi first explained to her his achievements during this period.
The achievements here naturally do not refer to how many new shops the Sun family has opened in Zhao State, but which court ministers Sun Qi has made friends with recently.
The little girl felt dizzy after listening for a while, so she quickly asked him to get to the point.
"Now the only way to resolve the crisis of Sang State is for the ministers to persuade King Zhao to send troops. But none of the ministers I have made friends with are willing to take the initiative to talk about this matter. They are only willing to play supporting roles." Sun Qi said helplessly.
"so?"
"So I thought, it would be great if Master could start talking about this matter when he meets King Zhao."
Tangtang was quite willing to talk, but the problem was how could she meet King Zhao?
When the little girl asked this, Sun Qi immediately replied: "Master is not unknown in Zhao State. You just need to continue to improve your reputation, and then the King of Zhao will summon you."
"If Tangtang takes the lead and the ministers drum up support, will the King of Zhao send out troops?"
Faced with the little girl's expectant eyes, Sun Qi could only nod his head.
Things probably wouldn't go so smoothly, but it was all he could do.
All that is left is to pray for the prosperity of the Sang Kingdom.
"Master, some changes have happened in Zhao State. Now is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself."
"Just call me Sugar"
After all, he was an acquaintance of Sang Guo, so Sun Qi called him "Master" all the time, which made Tangtang feel very awkward.
Hearing this, the smile on Sun Qi's face became much more natural.
"Okay, Tangtang, do you know the Iron Prison Divine Constable of Zhao State?"
"Tangtang knows!"
"Now all the detectives in the city are on vacation, and only the detective in the town is still on duty. If something strange happens in the city at this time, Tangtang, and you solve it, you will soon become famous."
..........
Feng Shouze is on vacation, and Tangtang knows about this.
But she never expected that all the city's iron-clad detectives would take a vacation together.
“Why not split the vacation?”
The little girl wondered, "If everyone takes turns to rest, they can all have holidays, and it won't affect their daily work."
"It's a demonstration, a silent protest."
Sun Qi pondered and said, "I haven't found out the details yet, but this incident has a huge impact, a very, very big one."
No dignitaries live in the countryside or towns. The collective vacation of the city's detectives is equivalent to directly exposing the dignitaries and their children to the threat of evil creatures.
Ah, that's a bit exaggerated.
After all, the efforts of the detectives over the years have been fruitful, and nowadays it is very rare for strange creatures in Zhao State to harm people.
But in any case, the safety in the city has been greatly reduced, and some people can't help but be anxious!
"Tangtang, just stay here with me for now. I'll let you know if there's any news of weird things causing trouble."
"Good~"
After settling the little girl, Sun Qi sent his housekeeper to give generous gifts to the officials in the city.
Those who were well-informed already knew that the detectives were taking a collective vacation, but the vast majority of the people in the city did not know about it.
If anything happens, they will still report to the police.
Therefore, as long as Sun Qi fed those officials, he could obtain intelligence continuously.
This method was indeed good. The next day, Sun Qi learned several strange things from the housekeeper.
But...
"What do you mean the vixen in the brothel has seduced my husband's soul and now he refuses to come home day and night?"
Sun Qi was helpless: "Can this be reported to the government as a strange thing?!"
.........
Some things can be distinguished as true or false at a glance, which is actually a good thing.
What I’m afraid of is the kind of weird things that seem half true and half false, or even seem extremely real because they are mixed with imagination.
"Your roof should be repaired. There is no evil creature sneaking into your house to harm you. The sound you heard at night was the sound of water leaking from the roof when it rained."
Acting as a detective once again, after finding out the truth of the matter, Sun Qi angrily asked the man in front of him to go to the government to withdraw the case.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The man yelled, "I don't know what the ticking sound is? And what about the shadows that flashed through my house?"
"The raindrops fell on the upside-down copper basin, so it was not a ticking sound, but a clanging sound. As for those black shadows, you know the swaying shadows of the trees, right?"
Sun Qi sighed, ignored the guy, and led the little girl towards home listlessly.
"Sorry, Tangtang, I made you run for nothing again."
"It's okay, cheer up!"
The little girl suggested: "It's still early, do you want to go hiking with Tangtang?"
Sun Qi really didn't have the mood for this right now, so he smiled bitterly and declined, "Let's do it another day. I have to entertain a guest of the prince this afternoon."
