Section 6

It’s not surprising that fire and water cannot tolerate each other.

The five elements are natural and natural; Success or failure in ancient and modern times cannot be explained clearly.

From righteousness to evil, we judge auspiciousness and calamity.

Continuing from the preface, the above text states that Li Laodao told Liu Hengshun: "One after another people from Mogu Dao are lost in your hands, and your accomplices will definitely come to seek revenge.

It's just a matter of paying off the rest.

Soldiers will be able to stop them, and water and soil will be able to stop them."

Hidden, but there is a magic weapon paper coffin in the side door, which can hold it On the palm of the hand, write the name of the living person on a piece of yellow paper, place it in the paper coffin, and pray for twelve hours.

The living soul will enter it and be buried in the northern corner.

The person will die immediately.

If everything goes wrong, Mr.

Liu, you have to be careful!"

Liu Hengshun said: "Since ancient times, evil has not suppressed good.

How can there be a cursed ghost in the coffin?

What kind of person am I, Liu Hengshun?

I wear official clothes, eat official meals, and work as an official servant.

How can I believe it?

This trick?

Besides, if the paper coffin is really a magic weapon, can it still keep me alive until now?"

Li Laodao said: "As Mr.

Liu said, you are wearing official clothes and working on official errands.

You are different from ordinary people.

This is one of the reasons.

Secondly, your name is extraordinary.

The Scud Fire God of the arrest team Liu Hengshun, who doesn't know about Tianjin Guard?

If you are not a tough person, you can't live up to this name; thirdly, the situation of the Fire Temple Police Station is terrible, and the house is an old Fire God.

Temple, you are sitting in the seat of the Fire God.

Two patrolmen, Zhang Chi and Li Can, are on the left and right, Du Dabiao is guarding the door, and Lao Youtiao is behind.

I have a magic weapon called a paper coffin, but I don’t dare to worship you.

I’m afraid that if I worship you, it will bring disaster to me.

But you are born with fire, and water can overcome fire.

Whenever there is heavy rain, you must not go out.”

Li Laodao was really right.

What Liu Hengshun likes is sunny days, but what he hates is cloudy and rainy days.

When it rains, he becomes restless and can't do anything.

He can't explain why.

This is just his nature.

But He didn't take Laodao Li's words to heart.

After asking, he returned to the Fire Temple Police Station.

In the next period of time, there was no more trouble in Tianjin City, but it could not be said to be peaceful, because the continuous water shortages would make the city very busy.

Water leakage means fire.

In the past, people avoided the word "fire" and called it "water leakage" instead.

The lower end of the Jiuhe River is an important water transportation area, with interlaced houses and numerous shops.

If a fire breaks out, the loss will be heavy, and it is not a wick wax head.

A small fire becomes a big one.

In the past, most houses were made of wood.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Even if there were bricks and tiles on the outside, the beams and columns on the inside were also made of wood.

They would catch fire and be overwhelming.

Once it burned, it would be terrible.

It was like the wind helped the fire and thousands of golden snakes danced. , the fire spread all over the place, the buildings turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the beams and houses were empty in the blink of an eye.

The Patrol Bureau and the Shuihui Association sent people to patrol all night long, but no culprits were seen.

The fire broke out for no reason.

A rumor came out from nowhere - the Fire Temple at the mouth of the Sancha River blocked the Dragon King, so fires often broke out in and outside the city unless the Fire God was sent away.

In fact, at that time, there was no Fire Temple in Tianjin Wei, leaving only a place name.

The temple at that time had been changed to the Fire Temple Police Station, and the statues, altars, incense burners, and candlesticks in the temple were gone.

To demolish the temple would be equivalent to destroying the temple.

It's to tear down the police station.

There are always a lot of rumors in the society, and the government will not take them seriously.

But one person's truth is false, and thousands of people tell the truth, and they cannot withstand the repeated pressure from the major local chambers of commerce.

The government and businessmen are deeply connected.

One is powerful and the other is rich.

Who is it?

It was impossible to do without anyone.

Officials were unwilling to offend big businessmen, and demolishing a small police station was not a big deal, so an order was issued to demolish the Huoshen Temple Police Station at the mouth of the Sancha River within a time limit.

Not a single tile is left behind.

The above sentence means that the leg is broken when running down.

No matter how big the name of Scud Liu Hengshun is, it is just a black name of a police inspector and an arrest team.

His arms cannot twist his thighs.

How can he not obey the orders of the government?

Unfortunately, even after the fire temple was demolished, no new houses were built.

It wasn't that the Chamber of Commerce didn't contribute the money, but it all went into the pockets of the officials, and not a single big man was seen below.

The police station was moved to a nearby house that was dirty, dilapidated, and leaky.

There were piles of tables, chairs, and benches inside, and a wooden sign with black characters on a white background was hung on the door.

Liu Hengshun took Zhang Chi, Li Can, Lao Youtiao, and Du Dabiao, and the five of them tidied up all day long.

They were so tired that they were covered in sweat, their heads and faces were covered with dirt, and they didn't eat until dark.

Zhang Chi and Li Can sat in the room and complained: "The Fire Temple, which has been built for hundreds of years, was demolished at the earliest opportunity.

When we brothers find out who spread the rumor, we must give him something."

Nice looking!”

The old youtiao sitting next to him muttered: "The demolition is all done, what's the use of checking who spread the rumors?

After all, our Fire Temple is just a fool, these fires are not wicks and candle ends."

Leading..."

Liu Hengshun heard that there was something in the old fritter's words, did it mean someone set a fire?

If I knew you had said it earlier, the Fire Temple would not have to be demolished, and our brothers would not have to sit in this cold kiln with broken tiles and suffer the anger.

Let him explain clearly, who set the fire?

The old youtiao said with a mysterious face: "Boss Liu, I didn't say it was someone who set the fire.

To tell you the truth, it was the kid who set the fire!"

2.

Liu Hengshun knew what a veteran was like.

He had worked with the same police station for many years, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of change he had made.

Although he is also a patrol policeman, he is not like a police officer at heart.

He has always been timid and glib.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

He chews his wife's tongue all day long.

He can listen to the wind and rain, and he can make needles when given a mallet.

Maybe the Tianjin Guards Half of the rumors came from his mouth, and they kept saying that the little devil set the fire.

Isn't this just a fool's errand - Hu Le?

The old youtiao said that this matter was absolutely true.

As the saying goes, "hearing is false, seeing is believing", but this time he saw it with his own eyes, and explained the whole story on the spot.

He is in his fifties this year, and the nickname "Laoyoutiao" has been with him for more than thirty years.

He is the most greedy for petty gains.

He will suffer a loss when he goes out and returns home empty-handed.

He never raises his head when walking, just to pick up money.

If you drop a copper coin, you can chase it two miles away.

Wearing a police uniform and taking someone with a green onion and half a head of garlic with him, he is not like Zhang Chi and Li Can.

Those two boys also went out to extort money, but they were divided into separate groups, specifically looking for ruffians and bastard Liuli Qiu.

Start with me, you are more violent than you, I am even worse than you, and I have not embarrassed Liu Hengshun.

The old youtiao is different.

He is neither naughty nor tough.

He only knows how to play tricks.

If he doesn't dare to offend the naughty ones, he will look for honest people to attack.

There was an old saying in the past: "If you are not afraid of losing your life, you are afraid of losing your face."

If you give up your face, you can be said to be invincible.

As long as he can take advantage, he will do any embarrassing thing.

If he is asked to call his father to make pancakes, he will just open his mouth and scream, and he still feels that he is not at a disadvantage.

In the first few days, Lao Youtiao was at home after work.

He lived in a large hutong courtyard in the Nanxiaodaozi area, and they were the only two at home.

When it was time for dinner, his wife asked him what he was having for dinner.

Laoyoutiao told her not to rush, and went out for a walk.

He came back and told his wife: "Peel the garlic quickly, let's eat dumplings today!"

After so many years, the couple knew what to fart as soon as they raised their buttocks.

Laoyoutiao said like this When he said that, his wife understood that it turned out that the old youtiao had a habit of walking outside the door after lunch. , take a look at what kind of food the neighbors are cooking, just steamed buns and pickles.

If someone’s pancakes are cooked with noodles and a big pot is stewed with meat, he will try his best to have a meal.

If he catches up with making dumplings, it will be even more It's amazing.

As the saying goes, "It's not as delicious as dumplings, and it's not as comfortable as dumplings."

If you don't have a good meal, you'd be sorry for your ancestors.

There are ways to eat and drink.

For example, when I saw this restaurant eating dumplings, I couldn’t go in when it was chopping the fillings and kneading the noodles.

I couldn’t go in when rolling out the wrappers and pinching the dumplings.

I couldn’t go in even after the dumplings were cooked in the pot.

I had to pick the right joints. , as soon as the dumplings came out of the pan and steamed on the table, the old fried dough sticks opened the door and walked in.

Ordinary people's homes are no better than deep mansions and courtyards, and they don't take advantage of valuable things.

Neighbors from the old street come to visit, and they can enter the house just by saying hello at the door.

The old fried dough sticks are not good at pinching.

He can smell the aroma of dumplings coming out of the pot, and he can hear the sound of dumplings being fished out.

It doesn't matter if he can't smell or hear them.

He can also look at the chimney and see that the smoke coming out of the chimney is black.

Smoke, this is the fire that has just been lit.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

After a while, white smoke comes out, which means it is cooked.

After a while, the smoke goes down, which means the fire is out, and it is time for the dumplings to be taken out of the pot.

Push them in and say: "Hey!"

, What a coincidence!

"What is a coincidence?"

That means I haven't eaten yet, and you just finished cooking the dumplings.

In fact, I've been waiting outside for more than an hour.

When he saw his neighbor coming over to visit him, he couldn't see him without looking up, so he couldn't push him out, so he had to be polite and let him eat dumplings with him.

The old youtiao was not polite, and had to make a point: "Don't bother me, your place is not spacious, I will take it back to eat."

He put a large plate full of dumplings just out of the pot, and took it home to follow When my wife ate it, not only did she satisfy her craving, but she also saved money on the meal.

At that time, it was difficult for ordinary people to eat a meal of dumplings, especially in the Nanxiaodaozi area where Lao Youtiao lived.

The alleys and courtyards were filled with poor people.

They said it was improving today, so a meal of shredded pork and stir-fried cabbage would be good.

If the butcher shop buys two big bucks worth of meat, how much can he have?

I couldn't bear to use it all, so I set aside half of it after frying it, and added the other half to half a cabbage and stir-fried it on a large plate, which was equivalent to a meat dish.

Or just buy some haggis, some more soup, make some wide vermicelli, some tofu, put some cabbage on it and make a pot of it.

If there are children at home, they will not feed them until the man in charge comes back.

After the man in charge has eaten enough, the children will then start to sit on the table, slurp and eat, and make some noodle soup and sticks to take away.

Zha'er porridge and some mung bean soup when the weather is hot.

What's the staple food?

Usually they are steamed buns and stick noodles.

Occasionally I steam a few steamed buns but I don't want to steam the noodles.

They are made with two kinds of noodles, or baked with gold and silver.

The inside is stick noodles, the outside is white dough, and the outside is chopped green onion and some five-spice noodles. , just eating it with shredded cabbage will satisfy your satiety and satisfy your cravings.

If the women at home feel sorry for their men and are tired after a hard day out, they will prepare some food and drinks for them, no matter how cheap they are.

I didn’t have money to buy a whole bottle of wine, so I went to the grocery store to break up the wine.

I bought these two taels and prepared a plate of five-spice peanuts.

Tianjin Wei called Nuoren, fried them in the shell, and peeled them out before the man came back. , pick out the full and whole ones and put them in a small bottle.

When drinking, pour out a few, and feed the small and flat ones to the children.

This life is considered to be fair.

Therefore, except during the Chinese New Year, only when something good happens at home or the man earns extra money can he be willing to make a meal of dumplings.

The children and adults in the family are looking forward to this meal of dumplings to satisfy their cravings.

Occasionally, the neighbors in the street caught up with him, and it was okay to eat like this once or twice, but the old fried dough sticks didn't take advantage of enough, and he was shameless, and the residents around him also saw his humanity, and again and again Secondly, I won’t let the old youtiao come back again.

I can’t find anyone else to do it.

How thick-skinned is the old youtiao?

As long as he can have this bite, he doesn't care about anything.

It doesn't matter if people are not polite to him.

He sits down, stares at the plate on the table, and praises the dumplings first: "Hey!

These dumplings are good, you Look at this noodle, the best white noodle, right?

The dumplings look so smooth and smooth.

Put the noodles aside.

The main thing to eat when eating dumplings is the filling.

I can smell it.

For the zucchini and mutton ones, add sesame oil.

Don’t be in a hurry to eat them right after they come out of the pan.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

It needs to cool down first, why?

It’s burning your mouth!”

I mean what I said.

You can't eat dumplings after they've been cooled, especially mutton dumplings.

Once they're cooled, the oil inside will solidify, and they won't taste good when you eat them again.

That's the thing, but Don't pay any attention to him.

You will be fooled as soon as you talk to him.

The neighbor will say: "Dumplings are not cut into cakes.

How can you eat them when they are cold?

You have to eat the ones that are hot to the mouth and hot to the heart."

Without asking, he immediately picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was so hot that he sighed and said, "Oh, I have learned a lot about eating dumplings with your family.

Why don't you eat dumplings normally?

It doesn't taste right."

It's really delicious when it's hot, so what, second sister-in-law, please give me a clove of garlic."

Now that I've eaten it, who would have the nerve to spit it out again?

The mouth of the old fried dough sticks is made through practice.

No matter it is hot or cold, soft or hard, it can be stuffed into it.

After eating, drink a big bowl of dumpling soup and have a "original soup into the original food".

This is not finished, just use the bowl and chopsticks As soon as he put it on the table, he had to pick his teeth and say: "Second sister-in-law, this dumpling is really good."

It's so good, so delicious and beautiful.

When cooked in the pot, it looks like a little white duck.

My unlucky girl can't make it.

She deserves to be hungry today."

The neighbor thought, and there was no shortage of old fried dough sticks anyway.

If you want to eat, as long as you don't miss these few dumplings, you have to put a plate for him to take back.

The old youtiao quickly said: "Hey, what do you mean?

After eating your food and drinking your food, how can I still carry it home?

Don't be tired, sit down and eat quickly, I will do it by myself, I will do it by myself... ..."

After speaking, he took the plate and filled it with seventy or eighty dumplings.

He took it home and his wife couldn't eat it.

Later in the night, he made another late-night snack.

How many dumplings did the neighbor family make in total?

I had to make a half-full meal, and if it was not enough, I would have to buy all the food.

The old fried dough stick ate so much that he couldn't bear to wipe it off because his mouth was full of oil.

He was still licking the cracks in his mouth when he lay on the bed.

That's what he was like.

It was almost dinner time that day, and Laoyoutiao went to the door again for a walk.

He saw a neighbor cutting stuffing to make dumplings.

He was secretly happy and ran back in two steps.

He told his wife to peel the garlic quickly and eat the dumplings while they were hot.

Peel the garlic when it comes back and the dumplings will be cold.

His wife was peeling garlic in the house, and he went out to make dumplings.

He thought he would be able to satisfy his craving again, but he didn't expect that his neighbor would gain wisdom from eating them.

He knew he would definitely come.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

After making the dumplings, he didn't cook them.

Eat steamed buns and pickles, and save the dumplings until Laoyoutiao goes to work at the police station the next day.

He would rather let the dumplings collapse than admit it.

The old youtiao waited in front of the neighbor's house until midnight, and he was so hungry that his heart pressed against his back.

Then he came home with a drooping look on his face and told his wife what had happened.

He kept complaining: "This family is not authentic, including Dumplings are ready You are so reluctant to eat the steamed buns and let a whole family eat the cornbread, aren't you afraid of choking to death?

"His wife peeled several heads of garlic for nothing and was very hungry, so she told the old fried dough sticks to stop complaining and go out and buy some.

Shaobing.

As soon as the old man heard that he had to spend money, his liver trembled, and his tears could not fall down.

He quickly advised his wife: "Grandma, we can't survive this day?

Money doesn't come from the strong wind.

Is there any way to buy sesame seed cakes with your own money?

Otherwise, just make do with it today and eat the few cloves of garlic you have peeled.

I will patrol the riverside early tomorrow morning to find someone to deal with the two bowls of crispy rice.

The food is back , that thing is good, real mung bean flour pancakes are chopped up, poured with marinade, chive flowers, soybean curd, more coriander, some red and green, and enough chili oil, what does the old saying say?

untie Greedy, spicy and salty.

You can eat here or strangle your father to death there."

His wife quit after hearing this.

Although the rice dumplings are good, they are far away.

Thirsty, how did you spend the night?

How can anyone eat garlic?

No matter how much we make do, it can't stop us from being hungry.

The old youtiao said again: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?

Is it uncomfortable to eat a full stomach this late at night?

Besides, after eating, you lie down to sleep.

If you throw things in your stomach and can't get them down, what else will you do in the morning?

Eat crispy rice?

Do you listen?

Mine, there is a pot of tea base on the table.

I have only been drinking it for three days.

When you have the taste, you come here with garlic.

After eating, smack your mouth and clench your molar teeth and scratch it hard.

It will definitely work.

Taste the dumplings!”

Laoyoutiao couldn't bear to light a fire, so he scooped cold water from the water tank and poured it directly into the teapot.

He poured it in and tied it tightly.

He had to simmer it for a while before drinking, which made his wife angry: "You still have to simmer for a while to make tea with cold water?

Are you kidding me?"

Angrily, he grabbed the pot, water flowed from mouth to mouth, and he drank it all.

Laoyoutiao was also hungry.

Seeing that his wife had filled her stomach with water, he also brought two large pots of water and ate all the peeled garlic.

He was so full that he did not dare to walk.

His stomach swayed at the slightest movement. .

The husband and wife drank a lot of cold water each, then lay on the kang and got under the quilt.

It was uncomfortable to eat too much and drink too much water.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

It was a tossing up and down all night.

What's wrong?

Drink too much water and wake up at night.

In the past, the people who lived in Hutong courtyards did not have latrines in their homes, so the urine buckets were placed in the houses.

It was the same in every household.

The old youtiao couple each had a stomach full of cold water.

When you got up, I would lie down, and when you lay down, I would get up.

By the middle of the night, the urine bucket was full.

The old youtiao got up helplessly and went out to empty the urine bucket.

The moon and stars were sparse outside, and he was bleary-eyed, hungry and sleepy.

He was too lazy to walk outside the courtyard.

He wanted to drop in front of the neighbor who had made dumplings and gnawed on steamed buns instead of cooking them to make the house a little more disgusting.

He just left.

Within two steps, my eyes suddenly lit up and I saw a ball of will-o'-the-wisp coming through the door and into the yard!

3.

The old youtiao felt excited.

He carried the urine bucket with one hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously with the other.

When he looked carefully, it was really a will-o'-the-wisp, as if the wind was blowing.

He walked carelessly close to the ground, got into the door and went straight to the firewood pile. .

He thought that someone's stove was not carefully checked and the sparks were blown out by the wind.

Is this okay?

Fire and water are ruthless, if this starts to burn down, his family fortune over the years will be ruined.

In fact, the little "family fortune" he has is not worth a lot of money in Baodui, but the old youtiao is obsessed with money.

He chooses beans when shitting and skims oil when peeing. , I can't even bear to eat, let alone set the house on fire.

Lighting an oil lamp will ruin the whole family.

He didn't bother to look for water anymore.

In his desperation, he grabbed the urine bucket in his hand and threw all the urine out.

As we said before, if the couple drank a lot of cold water and peeed in a big bucket, wouldn't the fire still be extinguished?

At that time, as soon as the smoke came out, the fire disappeared, and his feet were splashed with urine.

Laoyoutiao stood in the courtyard and yelled a few words.

Just as he was about to walk into the house, he saw something where the fire was extinguished.

It was white and he didn't know what it was.

He picked up a branch and picked it up.

He saw that it was more than three inches high.

A little paper figure with arms, legs, a nose and eyes.

The old youtiao said he was not guilty, so he took a closer look in the moonlight and saw that the character "fire" was written on the front and back of the paper figure, the word "Thunderbolt" was written on each hand, and "fly" and "fly" were written on each foot.

"Disease" are all written in cinnabar, like ghosts drawing talismans.

He was a very superstitious person, and he broke into a cold sweat at that time.

Could it be that the will-o'-the-wisp just now was this little paper figurine?

Isn't this a ghost?

The old youtiao didn't care about the dirt, so he hurriedly tore up the paper figurine, threw it on the ground and stepped on it twice.

When he returned to the room, he was still beating a drum in his heart.

He was afraid that his wife would complain, so he didn't dare to tell her.

He kept it in his stomach.

Today I complained at the police station and told the matter quickly.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.

What Laoyoutiao added to his words reminded Liu Hengshun of what Li Laodao had said before, and his mind suddenly moved.

There were fires in Tianjin city one after another.

Most of them were set on fire by Mo Gudao using sorcery, and he also spread rumors to disrupt the situation.

The public sentiment is just to demolish the Fire Temple.

According to what Li Laodao said, the Zhuan Tianbao, Five Dou Saints, Fox Boy, and Da Bailian who came to Tianjin to commit crimes all fell into the hands of Liu Hengshun, all because of the misfortune of the Sanchahekou Fire Temple Police Station where Liu Hengshun was located.

At the moment, relying on this situation, the evil spirits dare not approach.

Now that the Fire Temple has been demolished, it’s time for heretics to come to the door.

Liu Hengshun doesn't believe in this evil.

What should he do?

If the Fire Temple is gone, Master Liu won't catch the thief?

But it's strange.

Since the demolition of the old Fire Temple at the mouth of the Sancha River, Tianjin City has never suffered from a fire.

It has been rainy for several days in a row.

Liu Hengshun was upset, everything he did was not going well, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he stayed, but God was going to rain and no one could stop it.

Thanks to the recent peace and quiet, there are no cases.

I don't have to work for the arrest team.

In addition to patrolling the area as usual, I only have to sit in the house.

This morning, it was still rainy.

Liu Hengshun came to the police station for duty, and as soon as he opened the door, Li Laodao came.

Li Laodao has always been accurate and his discernment is perfect.

When he saw that the Fire Temple Police Station had changed places, he kept shaking his head and sighing.

He thought that Liu Hengshun could escape this disaster by relying on the situation of the Fire Temple, but he never expected that Dao Gao The devil is one foot tall and one foot tall, and they still have this trick to pull the trigger and demolish the temple.

Zhang Chi, Li Can, Lao Youtiao, and Du Dabiao were all there at that time.

Li Laodao told the reason in front of everyone.

Not long after the kidnapper was arrested and brought to justice, and halfway through the interrogation, he suddenly died at the Patrol Headquarters.

He was not tortured. , in order to silence him, he was worshiped in a paper coffin.

Liu Hengshun, the inspector of the Fire Temple Police Station, is also a thorn in Mogu Dao's side, but sitting in the Fire Temple at the mouth of the Sancha River, there is nothing he can do even if there are evil ways in the side sects.

But I didn’t expect that the Fire Temple would be demolished.

It was already done and there was no point in saying anything.

Nowadays, although this broken house still bears the sign of the Huoshen Temple Police Station, its situation no longer exists, and it cannot compare to the old Huoshen Temple at the mouth of the Sancha River.

Several patrol policemen looked at each other, looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and none of them spoke.

They used to work in the old Fire Temple.

Although the house was in disrepair, it was converted from a temple and was spacious and bright. , The beams and pillars are tall, and you feel confident when you sit inside.

Now that Li Laodao said this, the more he looked at the dilapidated house in front of him, the more awkward he became.

Li Laodao told everyone: "Without the situation in the Fire Temple, I'm afraid Master Liu's death is imminent, and the deadline is only tomorrow!"

Zhang Chi and Li Can couldn't stand listening anymore.

Wasn't this a visit to curse Liu Hengshun to death?

One said sarcastically: "You are too sophisticated, are you the nephew of the Lord of Hell, or the uncle of the judge?

Have you peeked at the book of life and death?"

The other threatened: "Burying the dead in the Bone Tower really betrays your talent. , How about I poke out your two eyeballs for you, and you can go out with a horse pole to tell fortunes, and you will definitely make a lot of money."

Li Laodao was not angry and said that you guys didn't know that tomorrow is the Dragon Meeting on May 25th.

According to folklore, the 25th of May is the annual dragon meeting.

On this day, dragon princes from all over the world gather to decide how to move clouds and rain throughout the year.

"The wind, the dragon's movement brings rain."

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

The dragon princes from all over the world came out to fight, and the water vapor spread all over the sky and the earth.

It can be said that it is the rainiest day of the year.

Liu Hengshun, the scud of the arrest team, is known as the God of Fire in Tianjin Guards.

With him sitting at the mouth of the Sancha River, it is difficult for the Mogu Dao to cause trouble here.

Moreover, Liu Hengshun was extremely angry.

It would not be easy to worship him to death in a paper coffin.

Otherwise, he would not be able to wait until today.

It must be on May 25, the day of the Dragon Meeting, that Liu Hengshun's luck in fire would be destroyed.

It's easy to start when the water vapor covers it.

At this time, Liu Hengshun's complexion was extremely low, and it could be seen that a paper coffin had been placed over there.

After that, he drew a yellow paper talisman and asked Liu Hengshun to nail it to the lintel of the police station.

Don't go out even if the sky falls, and the yellow paper talisman cannot be removed.

It can protect you from disasters, otherwise you will not survive today.

After Li Laodao finished explaining, he hurried back to prepare and would come to help before midnight tonight.

Laoyoutiao was deeply superstitious.

Zhang Chi and Li Can were also worried that something would happen to Liu Hengshun, so they advised Liu Hengshun to nail the yellow paper charm to the door quickly.

What kind of temper did Liu Hengshun have?

He tore the yellow paper charm into pieces, raised his hand and threw it outside the door.

He didn't believe this evil!

4.

Liu Hengshun from the Huoshen Temple Police Station had this temper.

He would rather be beaten to death than frightened to death.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he chose to go to the tiger mountain.

Not only did he pull the talisman given by Li Laodao, but he also wanted to take people out on patrol.

The old man was used to being cautious and would rather believe what he said or what he didn't.

He stopped Liu Hengshun at all costs and refused to let him out.

It was raining so heavily.

As a rule, there was no need to patrol.

Just leave a person on duty at the door.

Since there is nothing to do, it is better to have a pot of noodles at the police station and have a meal of braised noodles for a few people.

The Huoshen Temple Police Station has moved to another location, and it is supposed to be a stable place to eat lo mein.

It would be better to choose a different date than to do it today.

The old youtiao said this to stabilize Liu Hengshun.

Although their house was dilapidated, there was a sign saying "Huoshen Temple Police Station" on the door, and there were a room full of patrol officers in official uniforms.

If they wanted to come, evil spirits would not dare to come. .

As he spoke, he winked at Zhang Chi and Li Can.

The two men also tried to persuade Liu Hengshun to go back to the room and sit down.

Zhang Chi and Li Can went out to buy things, Du Dabiao washed the pots and dishes, then cleared the stove, and Lao Youtiao put the table and benches.

Several people from the Huoshen Temple Police Station organized the meal together.

According to the custom of old Tianjin Wei, lo mein, happy noodles, birthday noodles, descendants noodles, and lower noodles are all eaten when building a beam, opening a business, making arrangements for gifts, and moving house.

Even if the business fails, the life is divided.

You also have to eat San Hua Noodles.

You can save trouble when eating noodles.

You can braise it, stir-fry it with some sauce, or stir-fry a dish of juicy vegetables and mix it with noodles.

You can also be more particular about it and have a serious meal of Braised Noodles, even if you don't have enough staff.

First of all, there must be enough things in the stew, "fungus, mushrooms, gluten, scallops, shrimps, shredded pork, eggs, dried fragrant seeds, cauliflower".

They must be fried, stir-fried and thickened.

Lu Zi is too busy for one person.

In addition, it must be paired with vegetable codes, peeling if it needs to be peeled, blanching if it needs to be boiled, oiling if it needs to be oiled, cucumbers, green beans, and red pink skins.

You have to put together seven plates and eight bowls of cold dishes, and even noodles with wine, "salted yellow vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, assorted vegetarian dishes, frozen pork skin, elbow scallops, soy sauce pork, pig's trotters, and ham" are all indispensable.

It is a perfect combination and what we want is liveliness.

The conditions of the police station are limited, so eating braised noodles is not that particular, but it is still complete enough.

Zhang Chi and Li Can went out for a trip and bought all the things they needed to buy.

They were supposed to be buying, but in reality they were lying.

These two guys didn’t spend a fortune.

In their words, people wearing official clothes still had to pay for meals. , that’s called being incompetent.

There are several kinds of garlic, pickled garlic, pickled garlic, single head garlic, whatever you want to eat.

The elders worked together, chopping vegetables, making braised noodles, and cooking noodles.

They were busy until the second half of the day.

A full table was set up, with a large bowl of white noodles in front of each person, a large pot of braised vegetables next to it, and seven kinds of cold meat, cold and vegetable dishes.

Eight bowls.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, but the room was very hot and muggy.

The other four people ate the noodles with water.

Liu Hengshun ate the noodles from the pot alone.

When the noodles were taken out of the pot, they could not get enough cold water, so he ate them directly while they were steaming.

He couldn't tell why, but he felt chills all over his body, and his heart felt dull, as if it was weighed down by a big stone.

He knew clearly that the Mogu Dao was causing trouble in Tianjin Wei, but no one in the official hall paid attention to it.

He was the only one.

How to catch all the remnants of the Mogu Path hidden in the city?

It happened that Zhang Chi and Li Can brought a jar of old wine, and they simply had "Three cups of wine will make everything harmonious, and one cup of wine will relieve a thousand worries."

Several people exchanged cups and exchanged cups with each other, and they drank until the evening.

Liu Heng With his head feeling heavy, he went into the inner room, lay down on the table, and fell asleep.

In a daze, he saw four people wearing black robes and hats, kneeling on the ground motionless.

The conversation was divided into two parts, not mentioning Liu Hengshun who entered the back room.

Besides, after Laoyoutiao and others had eaten and drank enough, they also found a place to take a nap.

The dilapidated house of the Fire Temple Police Station had no electricity, and a paper lantern was hung at the door.

There were only two oil lamps in the house, flickering on and off.

It was still windy and rainy outside, but nothing strange happened.

In the middle of the night, Li Laodao was carrying a sword and a big baggage on his back, a fire gourd hanging on his waist, and no umbrella.

He was dripping wet like a drowned rat.

Water was flowing down his Taoist robe.

His face was gray.

At first glance, he looked like a dead man.

He was anxious.

He hurried back to the Huoshen Temple Police Station.

When he got to the door, he looked up and saw that there was no yellow paper charm nailed on the door lintel.

He was shocked and his face turned from green to white.

When he asked the old man who opened the door for him, he knew that Liu Hengshun had to open the door for him.

Throw it away.

Li Laodao was very surprised.

Normally, the talisman was not nailed to the door, and it would be time to collect the body now, but Liu Hengshun was still sleeping in the back room as if nothing was wrong.

When the old youtiao saw an advantage, he always drank a lot while eating lo mein.

After drinking, he became bolder and said with drunken eyes: "Master Li, it's not that we don't believe you, but you don't believe me either."

Look down on our Mr.

Liu Okay, who is our Boss Liu?

The dignified inspector of the Huoshen Temple Police Station, the famous Scud of Tianjin City’s arrest team.

He has solved so many major cases and arrested so many stubborn thieves.

How can he let a piece of paper slip?

Coffin curse?"

After hearing this, Li Laodao shook his head repeatedly.

Even though Emperor Guan Sheng was brave, he could not guarantee that his fortune would be low and he would be defeated in Maicheng.

On May 25th, Dragon Club Liu Hengshun would be hit by a disaster.

He must avoid dangerous places on the road.

Freedom cannot be escaped by sitting in a room and sleeping.

Li Laodao asked Lao Youtiao to take him to look at each room.

Today, the Huoshen Temple Police Station has two entrances, one is bright and the other is dark, and the main room is in the middle.

There are tables, chairs and benches.

The stove is in the east room and the west room.

Haven't had time to clean up yet.

Li Laodao walked around and saw four chicken cages in the corner of the west room, and said to himself, "That's weird!"

5.

What was seized in the four chicken coops in the west room of the Fire Temple Police Station?

We have to go back to this.

It turns out that there were successive fires in Tianjin in the past few days.

The Patrol Police General Administration sent additional personnel to patrol and stand guard in the city, and temporarily transferred three patrol officers Zhang Chi, Li Can, and Du Dabiao from the Huoshen Temple Police Station.

Luckily for Du Dabiao, the two bad guys Zhang Chi and Li Can went out on patrol, and if they didn't blackmail a few of them, they would call them Bai Xun.

They happened to catch up with a large restaurant that opened that day.

They didn't look at the almanac when they went out.

They were really lucky.

They caught up.

After the deal was done, they exchanged glances and asked Du Dabiao to wait beside them.

They put their hands behind their backs and walked to the door in a swagger.

When running a restaurant business, people pay attention to being friendly and making money.

They are most afraid of provoking gangsters and policemen.

Once they offend these people, they will come to stir things up from time to time and the business will be done.

As soon as the boss looked at the patrolman, he hurriedly handed over the prepared food box, which contained wine and vegetables, just to kill these people.

Zhang Chi and Li Canxin just said that, they were patrolling errands in the city, and those doing business also knew the rules.

There was no such regulation at the mouth of the Sancha River.

It was already evening when they got off their errands.

The three of them did not go back to the Fire Temple.

They found a place where no one was around, opened the food box and took a look.

Oops!

The food is really unambiguous, the fish and meat are real, and the wine is fragrant from the bottle, which is incomparable to the bowl of loose wine that two eldest men can drink in a banquet by the river.

When Du Dabiao saw the delicious food, he grinned widely, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and ate it.

Zhang Chi and Li Can, these two bad boys, couldn't sit still and made trouble all day long.

When they thought that they could not let Du Dabiao eat and drink for free, they had to use him to make fun of him, so they praised him and picked out nice things to say.

Du Dabiao was praised to the sky.

It is said that his bravery surpassed that of King Kong.

He threw a water vat and killed the Five Dou Saints in Tiesha Temple, and captured the white-faced boy alive at the mouth of the Sancha River.

These are all outstanding achievements.

Although he is an errand of the arrest team, he is really a work of the Fire Temple Police.

The director’s face, the young and old men of Tianjin Wei When it comes to Du Dabiao, everyone has a thumbs up.

They all say that our boss, Liu, is the God of Fire riding on the Hot Wheels, and you, Du Dabiao, are the general of the Fire Temple.

That is to say, we have not caught up with the good times.

How could you still be so capable in your old age?

To take the head of a general out of a million troops is like searching a bag for something.

Even the overlord of Western Chu, who is so powerful and powerful, is no match for you.

Du Dabiao was greatly benefited from these words.

No one usually flattered him like this and drank one cup after another.

Zhang Chi saw that Du Dabiao was almost drunk, so he fanned the flames: "Everyone says that you have extraordinary physical strength and the ability to lift mountains.

But let me see, they are right, but not completely.

You Du Dabiao Not only do you have great ability, but you also have great courage.

As the saying goes, this is called boldness in a skilled person.

With such great abilities, how can you be so brave as what I did the day before?

When Li Can said this, guess what, this kid actually refused to accept it."

Li Can took over and said, "Yes, when it comes to physical strength, you, Du Dabiao, are the best in Jiuhe Xiashao.

No handles.

If the sky had rings, you could tear the sky down.

If the earth had handles, you could pull the earth over.

But when it comes to courage, I have never seen it before."

Du Dabiao didn't know what the plan was.

After hearing this, he was furious at the door.

He slapped his thigh and shouted with his big eyes: "It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it before.

You can draw a path and see if there is anyone I don't dare to come to." !”

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Zhang Chi pretended to smooth things over: "Don't, don't, don't.

Our three brothers are just gossiping.

We are talking about nothing.

Can this be taken seriously?

Drink, drink, don't listen to him."

Du Dabiao has always been stubborn, how could he let these two guys look down on him and insist on letting Li Can draw a Taoer.

When the two bad boys saw that Du Dabiao had fallen into the trap, they laughed secretly and said that there was a big house at the end of the alley on Nanma Road.

If you had the courage to go in in the middle of the night, we brothers would not only be convinced, but we would also give you a drink.

Wear flowers and drink to celebrate.

Nanmadao Hutong is in the south gate.

When Tianjin City still had city walls, there were horse paths on both sides of the city gate, and you could ride horses straight up to the city.

Later, the city walls and horse paths were completely demolished, leaving only the place names of those days.

The alley on Nanma Road is long and thin.

The big house at the end is Chu Yi Zhuang, which has been abandoned for many years.

There are several broken coffins in it that are used as "yi coffins" to temporarily place dead bodies.

Since Yi Zhuang was abandoned, there have always been strange noises at night.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

According to legend, there are evil spirits at work.

It's fine during the day, but no one dares to go there at night.

Du Dabiao didn't even think about it: "What's wrong with that?

Not to mention walking in the middle of the night, but what about staying overnight?"

Li Can raised his thumb and said, "I have to say that you are so brave, brother.

If others compare with you, it would be like Grandma Wang meets Grandma Yu - there is only a slight difference!"

Zhang Chi said: "It's more than that.

In my opinion, it was Grandma Ma who met Grandma Feng - just two points behind!"

Li Can said: "You talk a lot, but Grandma Wang met Grandma Wang - at least three points later."

Zhang Chi said: "If you want to say this, it means that Grandma Neng met Grandma Xiong - four points worse!

It's not that I talk too much, but I really admire our brother!"

Du Dabiao became impatient after hearing this, drank all the wine in the pot in one breath, and stared at him: "Your father is not at home, fart on your mother, if others compare with me, then Grandma Wang will meet Wang Mazi - no You know how close it is!"

After saying that, he grabbed one of them with one hand and strode straight to the south gate.

When we arrived at Nanma Road Hutong, it was already past the second watch.

At this time, dark clouds covered the moon, and the alley was so dark that we couldn't see our fingers.

From time to time, a gust of cold wind blew straight into the neck and collar, making people shiver.

Du Dabiao was not afraid.

Firstly, he had amazing physical strength, and secondly, he was straightforward and courageous.

He lit a lantern and came to the gate of Yizhuang.

He broke the copper lock on the door with a "crack", opened the door and stepped inside.

Zhang Chi and Li Can fanned the flames before arriving, but when they got there, they were frightened.

They saw Du Dabiao coming in, and a cold pot sticker pancake came from outside the door - it was gone.

Putting aside the two bad boys, Du Dabiao was so drunk that he walked into the big house with a hand-held oil lamp and lay down on the ground.

He snored like thunder for a while.

It really felt like the world was wide open after a sleep.

Go to sleep and his problems are still there.

Quite a few, they gritted their teeth and farted, clicking their mouths, and their saliva flowed all over the floor.

I slept until late at night.

I felt that my throat was dry and I wanted to drink water.

I sat up in a daze, completely unaware of where I was.

I used the light of the lantern to look around.

I saw that the house was covered with dust and covered with cobwebs everywhere. , lined up under the wall, were seven or eight thin-skinned coffins.

Du Dabiao scratched his head for a long time and remembered that this was the Yizhuang in Nanmadao Hutong.

He was about to go out to find water when he suddenly heard the "bang bang" of the coffin.

Du Dabiao was stunned.

The drunkenness had not passed yet, and he didn't know what it meant to be afraid.

He immediately picked up the lantern and walked forward to see what was going on.

He saw that one of the coffins was not tightly covered, the lid was half-covered, and a coffin protruded from it.

A dead hand with dry skin and withered flesh.

Du Dabiao was puzzled.

If you have the ability, why would you extend your hand?

After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

I wondered if no one was burning the paper after his death, so he reached out to ask for money?

Du Dabiao had a bad mind but a good heart, so he took out a copper coin and put it in his hand.

Strangely enough, that hand took the copper coin and immediately retracted it into the coffin.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

But before Du Dabiao could leave, the dead hand stretched out again.

Du Dabiao was very angry: "You are too ignorant.

A rich man can't even send you away.

How much money do I earn in a month?

I've given you enough, and you want me to drink the northwest wind?

Besides, the dead should be used."

Why do you even accept copper coins?"

The more he talked, the more angry he became.

He opened the coffin lid at once and wanted to reason with the dead man.

When he raised the lantern, he saw that the dead man's skin and flesh were withered in the coffin, leaving only his body.

Du Dabiao muttered: "You're like this and you still want money?

You're so obsessed with money.

Are you an old fritter?"

Taking a closer look, there were a few dark things under the dead man's raised arms.

There was movement there.

Du Dabiao saw that this was something strange.

How could there be anything alive under the dead body?

What is this?

This man was really stunned.

The other one had been frightened and fell to the ground.

However, he reached out to pick up the dead man, lowered the lantern and took a closer look.

Only then did he realize that there were four big hedgehogs at the bottom of the coffin.

When Du Dabiao saw that it was the hedgehogs that were extorting his money, he felt an unknown fire in his heart.

He cursed and stretched out his hand to lift out the four old hedgehogs.

He was a patrolman, and he had a rope for binding people.

He tied a few old hedgehogs into a string by their legs, and threw them aside.

He then picked up the lantern and went to look for it in the coffin.

He had to pick up the copper coins just now.

Unexpectedly, There were no less than a hundred copper coins in the coffin.

It seemed that these four hedgehogs were trying to extort a lot of money.

Brief summary of the book: Du Dabiao walked out of Yizhuang with the copper coins in his arms and carried four large hedgehogs.

When he returned to the Huoshen Temple Police Station, it was already bright.

When I entered the house, I saw that Liu Hengshun had just arrived.

Laoyoutiao worked the night shift all night and was about to go home to sleep when he yawned all day long.

He saw Du Dabiao with a gray face and carrying four big hedgehogs in his hands.

He walked into the house with frowning eyes and frowned.

He was really shocked.

He didn't know what Du Dabiao was singing.

Which one came out?

He quickly asked: "How did you catch the Great Immortal Master back?

Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Du Dabiao was a clumsy man, and his words were inconsistent with what he said.

It took him a long time to explain things clearly.

After hearing this, the old Youtiao marveled: "The Great Immortal has come to ask you to borrow some money.

That is your creation, Du Dabiao.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

I will bless you and make you rich in the long run.

It's a good thing for you.

Not only did you take the Great Immortal's money, but you also caught them all."

Come back!"

Liu Hengshun said: "What the Great Immortal, these things It's not a good thing to cause trouble in Yizhuang, so throw it into the river as soon as possible.

"Du Dabiao is greedy.

Throwing it into the river is a waste.

It's rare that these hedgehogs are so big.

It's better to paste them with river mud, grill them in the stove, and peel off the skin."

The meat is even tenderer than that of a chicken, and it makes me salivate just thinking about it.

The old Youtiao was startled and hurriedly stopped Du Dabiao: "As the old saying goes, the fox is yellow and the willow ash is white, the hedgehog is the White Great Immortal, your birthday boy hanged himself - you are so tired of living, how dare you eat the Great Immortal's meat?

We see Tian'er in the same room "Wait, won't I follow you when you get retribution?

You two, look at me, Master Gao, please spare their lives," he begged.

While telling the story, he snatched a few hedgehogs from Du Dabiao's hands, found four chicken cages, and buckled one under each.

After finishing his errands, he did not forget to feed and drink them, and he had to say a few words to ask for the blessing of the Great Immortal. , I originally wanted to wait until I got off work one day and take him to the Xitou Cemetery to release the animals, but I have been busy these days, and it was cloudy and rainy, so I couldn't take care of it.

But when Li Laodao stepped forward and opened the chicken coop, he saw that these big hedgehogs had their eyes wide open and the corners of their mouths were bloody.

They had all been dead for a long time.

The people in the Fire Temple Police Station looked at each other in confusion.

The four big hedgehogs were still alive in the morning.

How come they were all dead when it got dark?

Li Laodao understood clearly, thanks to the four big hedgehogs being the scapegoats, otherwise Liu Hengshun would have died!

6.

At midnight, heavy rain came, thunder boomed, and lightning struck the sky, flashes of light appeared.

The house was already in ruins, and water leaked from the corners and eaves.

Several people from the Fire Temple Police Station couldn't stay any longer and went to the inner room to call for help.

Liu Hengshun, but after shaking for a long time, Liu Hengshun was still lying on the table motionless.

Only then did they realize that something was wrong.

Liu Hengshun was a man who chased murderers and caught thieves.

He was always very sharp.

He would sit up as soon as there was any disturbance.

He couldn't have slept like this.

This was not because he had been drunk!

Li Laodao told everyone: "Don't touch him.

Without further ado, arrange your troops as I said!"

Li Laodao said before that there is a magic weapon paper coffin in the side door, which will be dragon-shaped on May 25th.

Before and after the meeting, he worshiped Liu Hengshun to death.

If the police station was still in the old Fire Temple, as long as Liu Hengshun didn't go out, he could have avoided this disaster.

Unfortunately, the centuries-old Old Fire Temple was demolished, and there was such a heavy rain.

I wanted to save Liu Hengshun's life.

He must obey Li Laodao's orders.

Laoyoutiao and others were really afraid that Liu Hengshun would make a mistake, and there was still someone Wanli.

There was no other way, so just listen to Li Laodao.

Li Laodao opened the big baggage and took out two command flags with a red background and gold rim.

One side was embroidered with a golden dragon and the other side was a Beidou.

He ordered Zhang Chi and Li Can to hold the command flags respectively.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

He also took out an apricot-yellow flag with six big characters written on it: "It's worth it."

"The sun goes up to the spiritual official," and let the old man hold him in his arms.

The old youtiao was reluctant and thought to himself, what the hell is this?

Even now that I am old, I still have to be a filial son, but I am embarrassed to say more in front of everyone.

This was not enough.

Li Laodao came to the main room and placed seven rice bowls on the floor.

He placed a pair of chopsticks under each bowl.

He poured lamp oil into the bowl with a big gourd and put a twist on it.

He didn't know what kind of oil it was.

The smell was so offensive that several people choked and covered their noses.

The old youtiao asked Mr.

Li: "Master Tao, what kind of lamp oil do you have?

Why does it smell weird?"

Li Laodao said that this is black dog oil.

The seven oil lamps in the main room are equivalent to Liu Hengshun's three souls and seven souls.

You must be careful and don't let the lamps go out.

Extinguishing a lamp is the same as losing one soul.

It's over for the scattered people.

After that, he handed Du Dabiao a sword and asked him to guard the door.

Don't pay attention to the noise outside the house.

It doesn't matter if the sky falls.

Stay where you are.

If something comes in, no matter what it is, just chop it with the sword.

Then let Laoyoutiao, Zhang Chi, and Li Can each hold flags and flags and guard in front of the second gate.

After everything was arranged, Li Laodao said that he still had to leave.

He had done everything he needed to do, and there was no point in staying.

Although everything was calculated by others, in the end it still depended on fate.

What happened next would all depend on Liu Hengshun's fate.

The old man thanked him profusely and followed him to see him off.

Zhang Chi and Li Can knew that Lao Youtiao was timid and fearful.

It was a lie to go out to see Li Lao Dao off, but it was true that they found an opportunity to escape.

They chased him and dragged him back.

The four people closed the door tightly, finished eating the remaining noodles, and returned to their respective places according to Li Laodao's instructions, sitting in the police station and waiting.

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight, and I heard the sound of rain coming in and out.

The downpour fell to the ground, and white smoke appeared on the ground, and white light appeared in the sky.

There is a folk proverb, "When the light shines, the sky falls."

It has not rained so heavily in Tianjin Wei for many years.

But by the fourth watch, there was still nothing unusual.

Zhang Chi, Li Can, and Du Dabiao were slacking off and chatting wordlessly.

However, they felt sleepy after eating and fell asleep unknowingly.

Laoyoutiao held back his urine and sat in the house complaining secretly.

But Li Laodao said, "You can't open the door under any circumstances."

How could he go out to drain the water if he didn't open the door?

If you urinate in the house, if your brothers bump into you, do you still need this old face?

But people have three urgent needs.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

In the middle of the night, Laoyoutiao couldn't bear it anymore.

A living person can't hold in his urine to death.

If he didn't go out, he would have to explode his urine.

Seeing that the other three were asleep, he was lucky.

I thought it would be okay to open the door and no one would notice, so I quietly put on my poncho and tiptoed to the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stretched out my hand to open the door, a gust of wind suddenly blew up and swirled into the house.

The old youtiao had always been timid and superstitious, so when he saw that the evil wind was coming, he was immediately frightened.

He couldn't hold his breath anymore, and his crotch was soaked all of a sudden.

It was too late to close the door again, and a black air suddenly entered the house and walked close to the ground. .

Zhang Chi and Li Can felt cold.

They opened their eyes and saw Laoyoutiao opening the door of the house.

They were both startled.

They saw a gust of black wind swirling in the house, causing the seven oil lamps to flicker on and off.

They hurriedly turned on and off.

Du Dabiao picked it up.

Du Dabiao was dreaming about eating roast chicken when he was suddenly pulled up and stood stunned on the spot holding a sword.

Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and pushed him, and then Du Dabiao reacted and slashed with his sword.

The black wind turned into nothing.

A small paper figure cut in half by the sword fell to the ground, with the word "wind" written on it.

Character.

We speak slowly, but things happen quickly.

Six of the seven oil lamps in the house have been blown out by the black wind.

One lamp was not blown out by the wind, but Du Dabiao chopped it down with a sword.

The black dog oil in the bowl was It was splashed all over the floor and the lights went out.

It was pouring rain, lightning and thunder outside, the four people were covered in cold sweat, and no one could make a sound.

This would cost Liu Hengshun his life!

It is precisely "Man makes people die and God refuses, so why is it so difficult for God to let people die?"

If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.

Chapter 7 Blind Zhang’s errand 1.

Throughout the ages, The fight between dragon and tiger is endless.

Don't say that there is no reason for the number of days.

Humans and monsters create disaster.

The previous document was talking about the Dragon Meeting on May 25th.

There was heavy rain, lightning and thunder.

All the seven oil lamps placed by Li Laodao at the Fire Temple Police Station went out.

Lao Youtiao and others were so frightened that they were in a panic.

At a loss.

Let’s not mention the four patrol officers in the outer room.

Let’s talk about Liu Hengshun in the inner room.

He has been in a daze all day.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he is lying on the table with his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

He can’t open his eyes even if he says anything. , I got up after five o'clock.

I heard the sound of rain outside, but it was still dark.

When I went to the outer room, I saw that there was no one on duty at the Fire Temple Police Station.

When Liu Hengshun walked out of the door, it was no wonder that the Huoshen Temple Police Station was not powered on yet.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

The red lantern hanging in front of the door turned into a white lantern, consisting of several bamboo blanks with white paper on the outside and a little bit on the inside.

The candlelight, even the candlelight was white.

Where were Zhang Chi, Li Can, Du Dabiao, and Lao Youtiao?

Liu Hengshun picked up the white lantern and went out to look for it.

He walked forward but didn't see any pedestrians on the way.

Normally at this time, the street sweepers, water delivery people, and dirt dumpers would have already come out, and the vendors grinding soy milk and making tofu puffs would also be lighting up their lamps to work.

However, when I looked up, I saw that the streets and alleys were deserted.

Every house is dark and there is no light on.

Where have all the people gone?

Not to mention people, there were not even dogs on the road, and there were no houses around.

There was only this road underfoot.

Liu Hengshun was puzzled.

After walking for a long time, he passed by a smelly puddle.

He recognized this place as a ghost pit in the northwest corner of Tianjin City.

In the past, folk proverbs described the four puddles in Tianjin City as "a pit for official hats, a pit for ghosts, a pit for money, and a pit for water."

Each of the four puddles occupies a corner.

The ghost pit is located at the Chenghuang Temple in the northwest corner.

The surrounding area is desolate and overgrown with weeds.

The ground is covered with reeds that are as tall as a person.

Surrounding the reeds are some low, damp shacks, inhabited by cart pullers, dirt dumpers, wool basket pickers, or rag pickers.

In short, they are all poor people.

So where did this puddle come from?

During the reign of Guangxu, a German led thousands of peasants carrying earthen baskets to set up small shacks and dig big pits here.

Why dig a big hole?

Selling soil is a lucrative business.

After digging, he built two gates at the north and south ends of the pit.

The terrain in this area was low-lying.

After heavy rains, the pit was filled with sewage flowing down from the heights, so he built these two gates.

As soon as he closed the gate, the stinking water covered the Kang heads of the nearby people in the blink of an eye.

If he wanted to go under the water, everyone had to collect the money and give it to him, and then the old boy opened the gate.

Later, the German suddenly disappeared.

Some people said that he suffered retribution and fell into the pit when the gate was opened.

Others said that he was a righteous man in the rivers and lakes who eliminated harm for the people.

No matter what the truth is, this stinky puddle cannot be filled back.

It has become one of the major gathering places for sanitary sewage in Tianjin.

Sewage and rainwater are discharged here.

Years of siltation have formed a large stinking pit, which is as deep as five meters.

It is messy and stinky.

Local residents have three fears: sunny days, rainy days, and plague.

Why are you still afraid of sunny days?

The smell of the stinking water in the solar evaporation pit is unpleasant.

The alley is full of big maggots with tails, big flies, small flies, bean flies, and mung bean flies crawling out of the stinky pit.

They are flying all over the sky and making a buzzing sound. , the flies can wake people up in the morning without the crow of roosters.

At noon, people eat these meals that flies have eaten.

At night, flies can cover the roof in darkness.

Finally, the flies get off work, and the mosquitoes start to work again.

They swarm in groups, covering the ground, lighting incense and burning mugwort.

No matter how thin you are, you will be fat the next day if you sleep here overnight.

People are even more worried on rainy days.

The rainwater flowing from everywhere carries dead cats, rotten dogs, feces, garbage, and maggots.

It is dirty and smelly.

Even the firewood at home is wet and it is impossible to light the stove.

People have to Eating cold food, if the rain gets heavier, the house may collapse, and the whole family will be trapped inside.

What is even more terrifying is the plague.

In old age, people did not pay attention to hygiene and could not practice hygiene.

Plagues were commonplace.

Dozens of people died at every turn, and their bones were thrown into mass graves.

Since the founding of the Republic of China, this place has still been a gathering place for the lower class people.

All the people in the old city are dumping dirty soil here, so that the area of ​​the stinky puddles is getting smaller and smaller, but it is even more smelly, attracting countless toads.

In the past, the toad pit was noisy and noisy, but today it was dead silent.

Liu Hengshun came here and saw a light not far away.

He walked quickly and came closer.

There were no lights or torches, but there was a paper burning pot on the ground.

Behind him was a group of people, colorfully arranged, but no one was alive.

They were all Colorful paper figures and horses!

At this moment, a thin old man with a pale face came over.

He was very capable in his movements.

He was wearing Qinggu soap, with a hooked nose, a thin mouth, and cold eyes.

When Liu Hengshun saw this man, he was surprised on the spot.

He recognized this old man.

He was none other than Zhang Lisan, the blind man who was making paper figurines in the Chenghuang Temple.

Blind Man Zhang doesn't look scary, but his tricks have been bad for decades.

Why is this man's eyes shining?

Is this Blind Man Zhang?

Liu Hengshun looked again and saw that Blind Man Zhang was right.

He took two steps forward and bowed down, and called out respectfully: "Uncle Master."

How could Blind Zhang, who was making paper figurines in the City God's Temple, be Liu Hengshun's uncle?

How did he become blind?

Let’s go ahead again.

Blind man Zhang was not blind at first.

His real name is Zhang Lisan.

He is known as “Li Ye” in Tianjin Wei.

He is one of the “Seven Wonders and Eight Weirds” in Jiuhexiashao.

Many people think that he is a paper-maker.

Absolutely, some people say that he is a shady person.

But few people know that Mr.

Li's name has been around for a long time.

During the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Lisan was the number one thief on the green forest road.

He had the unique skill of flying over eaves and walking over walls, and entered thousands of houses to steal other people's money. .

So this is a bad guy?

Not entirely true.

This man's ancestral home was in Wuqing County.

He lost his father when he was young, and he and his mother depended on each other.

His family was poor and poor.

Later, he met an expert in Qiyun Mountain, studied the art for 17 years, and became a master.

What are the stunts of "jumping high and low, flying over eaves and walking on walls", and "crossing water on a treadle, walking on grain and sticking to cotton"?

You can get up to the house with just one stomp on flat ground, and you can get down again with a somersault before you reach the house.

Before going down the mountain, Master told him that although you and I are actually masters and disciples, we do not have the name of master and disciple.

For so many years, you have not known the name of your master.

This is not to hide it intentionally, but to prevent you from borrowing the name of master.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, according to the slang in the green forest: "I won't let you borrow my man'er, I want to use my man'er to go out on my own."

Zhang Lisan was a filial man and had no thoughts of Yang Man'er.

Because people's hearts are evil and Green Forest Road is not easy to deal with, he bid farewell to his mentor and returned to his hometown.

With his skills, he found a job as a caretaker for the local wealthy man's home.

All I want is to be rich and noble, have a stable food to eat, and be able to fulfill my filial piety at my mother's knees.

Unexpectedly, "when people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky."

This is called an unreasonable disaster!

On this day, he caught up with his break from work and bought a lot of big and small packages that my mother liked to eat.

When he returned home, he sat on the kang with the old lady and talked.

Suddenly, he heard someone outside shouting at the door.

"Pap-pap-pap-pap" knocked loudly.

The door panel was almost smashed.

Those who knew it was knocking on the door, but those who didn't know thought it was demolishing the house.

When he opened the door and saw four official officials, how did he know they were official officials?

Isn’t there a saying that if you wear a big hat and Tsing Yi, you are either a government official or a soldier?

When the four officials saw Zhang Lisan coming out, they shook the chains in their hands, put them around Zhang Lisan's neck, and dragged him away without any explanation.

Let’s say that Zhang Lisan possesses unique skills and abilities, so why is he so easily caught by officials?

There are two reasons for this: first, these arresters who lock people may not be good at other skills, but they are familiar with this chain.

The force on their wrists is fast and accurate.

Before you can see clearly and dodge, it has already been put on the chain.

On the neck, this is called not afraid of knowing a thousand moves, but only afraid of being familiar with one move; two, one, is the chain of the county government Although it is only as thick as a little finger and can be broken with a strong force, but it is called a king's law to put it on the neck.

You can go to the court and tell the boss whether it is unjust or not.

If you dare to break free, you are resisting arrest and beating the officer.

He is contemptuous of national law.

If one day he is taken to the lobby, he will hit forty boards without asking any questions.

Zhang Lisan was afraid of alarming his mother, but felt that he had a clear conscience, so he allowed four officials to lock him up, and went straight to the county government office in Wuqing County.

He felt so awkward along the way.

He usually walked and sat upright, but he was locked up and taken away by the officials.

The county government, if the neighbors around me see it, shouldn't they poke me in the spine?

Regardless of whether the criminal has violated the king's law or not, even if I catch him in the morning and release him in the afternoon, I still can't hold a person's mouth shut, both inside and out.

There are people who can talk but can't listen.

Where can I put my face?

In this way, my job of looking after the house and nursing home is gone, not to mention eating.

How will we, the two of us, hold our heads up when we go in and out?

Zhang Lisan could not help but think wildly and feel depressed along the way.

After going to court and interrogating him, he realized that a few days ago, he had fought off several thieves who entered the house at night to pick flowers and steal, but those thieves had a grudge and took his name to commit crimes.

At that time, the county magistrate was fatuous and incompetent.

Hearing that Zhang Lisan could fly over eaves and walk over walls, he spotted him and ordered him to cut off the thief's hamstrings without waiting for the case to be heard.

Zhang Lisan had not passed the official examination, but he felt resentful and unwilling to be wronged.

He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and escaped from the shackles in the lobby of the county government office.

He climbed onto the roof like a kite and walked away along the slope of the back room.

He fled back home overnight.

As the saying goes, "In times of crisis, look for relatives and friends, and in times of crisis, ask for help from old friends."

He first sent his mother to his second uncle's house in another place, and hid alone to avoid the limelight.

But he had no choice but to think about it and sighed: "Since the government You have wronged me, and there are people on the street who don’t like me, so I will become a thief.

After stealing, I will leave my name behind so that you can see how I am a thief.

I will not go far away, so I will go to Tianjin.

City, show me Zhang Lisan’s skills!”

As soon as he had this idea, he entered Tianjin City overnight.

From then on, those wealthy families who were unkind to their wealth were in trouble.

The gold and silver in their homes were thrown away at any time, and they didn't know how the thieves came in.

It was no use how many caretakers were hired, and even the dogs were gone.

He didn't call, and he came and went without a trace.

After the crime was done, only the words "Zhang Lisan" were left on the wall.

No matter how many police officers the government sent out, they could not catch this thief, and not even a human figure could be seen.

Mr.

Li follows the rules when it comes to stealing, no matter how much the family is hated, he has always only made extravagant wealth, leaving all the house deeds, land deeds and pawn accounts untouched, not to mention disturbing the female family members, who came in and out the same way, and even left no footprints in the house.

If not, all the bricks and tiles that have been dug out will be put back as they are.

The poor people in Tianjin City have a way to survive.

Whether it is a dilapidated temple where beggars gather or a hut where poor people live, there are always people throwing money in from time to time.

Sometimes it is more, sometimes less, sometimes it is copper, sometimes it is scattered money.

Broken money, especially at the end of the year, Zhang Lisan will scatter all the money he saved this year, many poor people When the family got up in the morning, they saw three piles of copper coins standing in front of the door.

They knew that this meant "Li San", so when they met on the first day of the new year, they greeted each other: "How are you doing this year?"

The other party replied: " Thanks to the noble man, Li Lai is living a good life."

They understood each other tacitly, and almost regarded Zhang Lisan as a living bodhisattva who saved people from suffering.

Zhang Lisan repeatedly committed crimes and never failed.

Those rich and unkind wealthy people pointed at the servant's nose and scolded him, which made the Yamenmen lose face and made his teeth itch with hatred.

Unfortunately, this man came and went without a trace when he came and when he left.

He had no choice but to plaster the portraits all over the city to offer a reward for his capture.

The reward rose all the way up to the level of Eight hundred taels is not worth the price for a gangster who kills people and sells goods.

However, the people in Tianjin are not greedy for this money.

They all say that Zhang Lisan is a great thief.

He can reach the sky with his feet, soar into the clouds and ride in the mist.

He robs the rich and helps the poor, and helps those in danger.

The sky was full of gods and Buddhas protecting him, and the government couldn't catch him even if they wanted to.

Even if the people knew where he was, they wouldn't say anything.

As for the cases that Zhang Lisan did in Tianjin, I believe I could never finish them in three days and three nights.

He is extremely capable and has unique skills.

Swans lay eggs, fish for the moon from the bottom of the sea, scorpions climb the city, and centipedes cross the mountains.

Without him, it would be impossible.

Yes, and he is very resourceful and clever.

No matter how high the walls of a wealthy family are and how many guards there are, they can't stop Zhang Lisan from breaking into the house.

Ten years later, the name of the flying thief Zhang Lisan was known to everyone in the green forest and rivers and lakes, and no one disagreed with him when he mentioned it.

The government repeatedly offered rewards to catch the thieves but failed.

The official got a headache when he heard the words Zhang Lisan.

He was so anxious that he dared to leave a knife on the county magistrate's desk and send a slip.

That means to tell you, don't watch if you take me.

Come on, it's easy for me to take your head.

The Tianjin magistrate who later took office was so scheming that he no longer hunted the snitch with great fanfare.

Instead, he ordered people to search for him secretly.

He went back and forth to find out that Zhang Lisan's mother was hiding in the countryside.

He thought this was an opportunity to capture the thief, so he set up an ambush in advance and ordered people to release him.

Feng Qu said that the government had found Zhang Lisan's hiding place and was going to get her.

Zhang Lisan was the most filial person.

When he heard the news, he immediately rushed back to the countryside.

He entered the house without saying a word, put his mother on his back and left.

As soon as he left the house, he was surrounded by officials.

Bows were strung, swords were unsheathed, people were shouting and horses were shouting, lanterns and torches were shining like daylight.

If Zhang Lisan abandoned his mother and ran away alone, no one could catch up with him, then it was not Zhang Lisan.

In order to save his mother, Zhang Lisan, a powerful robber who traveled all over the world, was captured without hesitation and was taken to the lobby of Tianjin County Government to meet the county magistrate.

The county magistrate saw that Zhang Lisan had an upright face and was not like those robber-headed thieves, so he pulled out the case files and conducted a detailed interrogation.

He learned that Zhang Lisan had suffered an unjust injustice and had no choice but to become a thief.

Although he had committed countless crimes in Tianjin, there were three.

It's very valuable, firstly, it never harms human life, secondly, it doesn't commit crimes, and thirdly, all the stolen goods are used to help the poor.

The county magistrate admired such a thieves and appreciated his abilities, so he said that there were always many Green Foresters who abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, and they could still protect the country and the people.

Are you, Zhang Lisan, willing to atone for your sins and become an official to catch thieves?

Good for taking care of my old mother.

Zhang Lisan knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I, Zhang Lisan, am not blessed enough to be a businessman."

Why do you say that?

It’s not that he looks down on officials.

Although he does justice for heaven, robs the rich, helps the poor, and punishes injustice, no matter how nice it sounds, he is also a thief.

The friends he makes when he travels around the world are all Green Foresters.

Thieves and public servants are like fire and water.

Incompatible.

Although there was no murder case against Zhang Lisan, the ill-gotten wealth stolen from hundreds of households over the years was enough to kill him.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate's extrajudicial kindness left him a way to survive.

If you are not an official, you will feel sorry for the county magistrate; if you are an official, you will have no shame to meet your friends on the green forest road.

This is really a dilemma.

Zhang Lisan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked the county magistrate to reward him with a basin of lime.

He had an explanation of his own.

The county magistrate wanted to see how he would explain, so he ordered a basin of lime to be placed in front of Zhang Lisan.

Zhang Lisan grabbed the lime on the spot and rubbed his eyes blind.

His eyeballs were burning and blistering, and yellow soup kept flowing down.

He could not say "hum ha", he could not breathe out, and his face did not change. .

Everyone at the yamen gate was dumbfounded.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

From top to bottom, there was no one who was dissatisfied.

Two handfuls of white ash rubbed a pair of moves blind, and they hummed and laughed.

What kind of person is this?

The county magistrate let out a long sigh, pitiful for Zhang Lisan's talent, but in the end he became a loser, so he took care of himself, helped Zhang Lisan settle the lawsuit, and let him go back to support his mother.

Zhang Lisan took an errand to keep vigil at the Chenghuang Temple in the northwest corner, married a young widow, and made a career out of making paper figures and horses.

The couple, together with their mother, rented a house to live in front of the temple.

From then on, Mr.

Li, a thief, became a blind man who made paper.

The county magistrate and the officials at the Yamen Gate took good care of Blind Zhang and sent money and things from time to time.

If there were any cases that could not be solved, the government would ask him to come up with ideas and ideas.

Help whoever needs to be helped.

He was originally a thief, and he was regarded as a leader in this industry.

With his guidance, he could solve the case nine times out of ten.

However, he did not pay attention to all cases, and only dealt with thieves who broke the rules on the road.

Liu Hengshun's master in the arrest team was once a businessman at the former Qing Yamen Gate, and he also had a relationship with Blind Zhang.

Therefore, Liu Hengshun called Blind Zhang his uncle, and he often learned skills from Blind Zhang in the past.

There has always been a saying among the people that Blind Zhang is not only a colorful paper maker, but also a shady person who specializes in hunting down the ghosts of the big temples in Jiuhexiashao and not the small temples!
