Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 47 Baking
Since the real culprit who stole the official food has not yet been caught, and the 35 shi of food has not been recovered, the defense of the warehouse is still strictly guarded, and it is completely on duty in accordance with the previous standards.

However, regarding the matter of the demon stealing food, because the yamen servants who entered the warehouse had seen it with their own eyes, they were convinced of it, and even spread it outside, which disturbed people's panic, and they dared not do this errand again.

Fortunately, Xie Duan personally explained, saying that the demon has been subdued by him, and the reason why he continued to guard against thieves, and Ruan Xiu's assistance from the side, made the scattered hearts gather a little.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this that he has established a prestige in the hearts of everyone. This brother-in-law of the county magistrate is really capable.

After solving this problem, it was already the middle of the night.

Xie Duan turned around and started to go back to his room.

Just before taking two steps, something suddenly occurred to my mind.

"Ruan Butou, has the Canglan invited Cangshen?"

He turned his head to look at Ruan Xiu who was at the side, and asked.

"Cangshen?"

Hearing this sentence, Ruan Xiu thought for a while and responded.

"Originally, it was a god of Youcang, but it was so old that the statue was already dilapidated, so the Lord Registrar asked someone to withdraw it to welcome a new statue, but unfortunately it has not been found yet."

After figuring this out, Xie Duan was thoughtful.

"No wonder! No wonder!"

All kinds of affairs in the mortal world are protected by gods. There is the God of Stove who guards the stove, the Lord of the Earth who protects the land, the god of prison in the prison, and the god of warehouse in the warehouse. Now that the warehouse is stolen, it is natural to ask the God of the warehouse to protect it.

In addition, this matter is related to ghosts and ghosts, so it should be so.

"Take some time and welcome Cangshen back as soon as possible. With Cangshen guarding the granary, why worry about mere ghosts? Even if you can't recover the lost grain, at least you can guarantee that no more grain will be lost."

As soon as he said this, Ruan Xiu also reacted immediately.

"I see, I'll do it tomorrow morning!"

Xie Duan nodded, said nothing, and went back to the room.

After closing the door, he sat down at the desk, untied the Qiankun bag at his waist, made a formula in his hand, and opened the bag with a thought.

A black light flashed, and the rat monster that had just been subdued appeared instantly.

But right now, it was only the size of a fist, and it just stood upright on the table with its hind legs. When it saw Xie Duan, it quickly bowed down to him.

"The little demon has seen the mage!"

Its voice was low and respectful.

"Hmm! You said just now that you wanted to commit crimes and meritorious deeds?"

Xie Duan looked at it, already thinking about it.

"But according to the mage's order, the little demon dare not refuse."

Xie Duan nodded slightly, and then told his plan.

"That's great! From now on, you will guard the outside of the warehouse. If you find those five little devils stealing food again, don't make a fuss. Follow them quietly and see where they end up. After you find out, come back immediately." Report to me, understand?"

Xie Duan looked serious and assigned tasks to it.

"Understood! Master, don't worry, the little demon will definitely follow through."

The Rat Monster nodded sharply, appearing to be very obedient.

"You'd better not play tricks. You want to take this opportunity to escape. If you enter my universe bag, your breath will remain in the bag. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will not be able to escape my pursuit."

It is necessary to be defensive, not to mention spirits, Xie Duan naturally kept his hand. He said these words, but he didn't just scare the other party.

But upon hearing this, the rat monster's body trembled slightly.

"How dare the little demon play tricks in front of the mage!"

It prostrated itself on the ground again, bowing to him again and again.

"You don't even have the guts to measure you! In fact, as long as you complete the tasks I entrusted to you, and change your past for good, I have no reason to bind you."

Xie Duan's complexion softened, and he couldn't help but feel amused when he saw this.

"By the way! Don't always call me mage mage. I can't bear this title. My name is Xie Duan. You can call me by my name directly, or you can call me Mr. Xie like everyone else!"

He looked at the mouse in front of him, and casually made a point.

"Who is the little demon? How dare he call the mage by his name!"

Although it is just a mouse in the food hall, because it has dealt with humans for so long, it still knows the humility and etiquette.

"Nothing is impossible! How about you? Do you have a name?"

He smiled casually, and then asked again.

"This... Xiao Yao once heard people say that those whose virtues are far superior to their own can be teachers. Why not call you Mr. Xiao Yao from now on! As for Xiao Yao, he doesn't have a name, why don't you choose one for me? "

Xie Duan was a little impressed by the truth of what it said.

Unexpectedly, this little little monster also understands such principles.

"Okay! In that case, I'll get one for you."

Its request is not too much, Xie Duan did not refuse, after all, it is just a matter of effort, in the next few days, maybe you will have to deal with it frequently, and having a name will also be a lot more convenient.

Just thinking about it, all the things that came to his mind were Jerry, Mickey, Shukbeta and the like, which was ridiculous enough to think about.

At this time, he looked at the other party for a while, and suddenly he had an inspiration.

"Yes! See if you are dark and round, like a briquette. Why don't you call it a briquette! It's easy to pronounce."

Hearing these two words, the mouse muttered to himself twice.

"Balls, briquettes! Good! I've got a name."

It rolled happily on the table twice, and then thanked him.

"Thank you sir for giving me the name! My name is Briquette, and I have a name."

……

The next day, at dawn.

Xie Duan opened his eyes, washed up briefly, and walked around outside the house. Wang Cheng was on duty right now, and when he saw him, he immediately cupped his fists and saluted.

Overtly and secretly, he has deployed manpower, and the coal balls have been cultivated into spirits, and they can also see ghosts and ghosts. I believe there will be no problems.

"Call Master Registrar to come out, I'll wait for something to ask!"

"Yes, let him come out, why use our food reserves!"

"If you don't give an explanation today, everyone will not leave."

"come out faster!"

……

At this time, there was a loud noise from a distance outside the door.

The Lord Registrar put on an official robe while walking, looking flustered, followed by two storekeepers, and walked in front of Xie Duan.

"My lord, what happened?"

Xie Duan was slightly puzzled, so he couldn't help but go forward and ask questions.

"It's Mr. Xie! Alas! A group of people came outside the door, saying that we used their grain reserves to help refugees from other places, so they didn't understand. They surrounded the grain hall early in the morning, and even the county Your Excellency was blocked in the Yamen, begging for an explanation."

He saw Xie Duan, heaved a long sigh, and then explained.

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Xie Duan thought for a while, and the first thing he thought of was that someone deliberately caused trouble and used the hands of the people to cause disputes.

Although the food reserves in Yicang come from part of the tax revenue of the people of the county and are common goods for everyone, since it is under the jurisdiction of the government, as long as it is handled properly and used in the right place, it can still be used.

Moreover, the news of the opening of the Yicang to release food for disaster relief, except for the insiders of the yamen, ordinary people are not aware of it at all. Even if they know, they can at most say a few words in their hearts, and no one will really dare to oppose the government.

Generally, in a situation like this, someone is secretly manipulating it.
