River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 21

The pier was crowded with people, Jiang Ling just smiled at the passenger boat, and then disappeared in the flow of people.

Compared with Guobei County, Linzhou is the hub of the waterway, regardless of the population or the style of the county, it is close to it.

After entering the county seat, it was Yin time.

One person and one dog, both stomachs are empty.Smelling the scent from the nearby restaurants, they were a little immobile.

Just now there was only five liang of silver left to give to the boatman, now Jiang Ling has half a penny left.

"If the master needs money, Xiaoqian may be able to help."

In the backpack behind her, Nie Qian spoke softly.

"How can you help?" Jiang Ling was curious.

He had heard the saying that the five ghosts were lucky to make money, but Nie Qian, in this sunny county town, and it was broad daylight, how could she help her?

"Dragons and snakes are mixed in this restaurant, there are always a few who are not hot enough, Xiaoqian can borrow some money from them."

To put it nicely is to borrow, but to put it badly is to steal.

Although Jiang Ling is not a pedantic person, but this kind of thing that allows women to steal money to support themselves, he can't do it.

"No need, it's just money, I have my own way."

He can draw things to become real, as long as he pays a little blood, the ingots he draws are sure to be real, the only drawback is that it takes a little blood.

Seeing that some of the wounds on his body had been ruptured during the previous burial, it seemed that it would not be difficult to squeeze out some blood at this time.

Immediately, he took the yellow dog into the restaurant and asked for a private room on the second floor to sit down.

When there was no one around, he painted with blood on a blank scroll, and got two ingots of silver ingots.

"Actually, it can also be painted as gold ingots, but it's not a good thing if gold is exposed in this kind of place."

First, gold is not in circulation on the market and needs to be exchanged for copper coins before it can be used.

Second, money leaked out, and with his teenage body, he would definitely be remembered by others.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to paint it as a silver ingot.

After ordering a table of dishes, one person and one dog let go of their stomachs and eat to their heart's content, the money spent is only one tael.

"Compared to Guobei County, the prices here are slightly higher."

With the remaining nine taels of silver, after eating and drinking, he wanted to find an inn to stay in. After recharging his energy, he could help Nie Qian find out the whereabouts of his uncle.

Just after going out, I met a monk in yellow clothes on the street. He looked sloppy, holding an alms bowl, and begging for everyone.

Because of the stench on his body, people who passed by waved their hands in disgust.

But the monk didn't feel ashamed at all, he still begged for everyone with a cheeky face.

When he begged in front of Jiang Ling, he stared at the half roasted chicken in Jiang Ling's hand, showing longing.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing, and asked him, "Do you want it?"

"If the benefactor is willing to give it, the poor monk will naturally want it."

"But don't you Buddhists pay attention to abstaining from meat and sex? If you eat this, you will violate the precept."

"There is a way that all beings have no appearance at all, such as meat or women, but those who have empty minds don't count these external things."

What a fake monk.

Eating meat and playing with women can still be so grandiose.

Jiang Ling originally wanted to give him the roast chicken, but seeing his expression when he spoke, he suddenly became disgusted.

Some people, like this, are quite disgusted when they meet for the first time.

So, he was going to pass by the monk.

"Almsgiver, don't you really plan to give alms to the poor monk?" the monk asked suddenly.

Jiangling didn't answer.

The monk said again: "The almsgiver has been plagued by disasters. If you are willing to give alms to the poor monk, the poor monk will help you to be safe."

Jiang Ling still ignored it.

The monk smiled to himself from behind and said: "The three yang fires are gone, and you still dare to carry a yin thing by your side. If the benefactor doesn't listen, then don't regret it."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling's footsteps stopped slightly.

Can't help but look back at the monk again.

The monk was able to tell that his three yang fires were gone, and he was carrying a yin thing on his body, which shows that he is still a little bit good.

"How? Has the benefactor been haunted by frequent nightmares recently?"

Seeing Jiang Ling looking back, the monk also laughed, "If you give the poor monk 20 taels, the poor monk will definitely solve your worries and problems."

"Ha ha."

One moment Jiang Ling felt that he was a bit moral, and the next moment he couldn't help laughing coldly.

With just one sentence, he showed his legs.

It can be seen that although this monk has Taoism, his Taoism is not very deep.It's just bluffing on the street.

The two walked away, and after a while, Jiang Ling disappeared on the street.

And the monk watched him disappear all the time, with a strange look on his face: "It's weird, he looks like a short-lived person, and he's still alive and well after all three yang fires are gone? It's really weird gone."

There are three fires in the human body, the stronger the fire, the stronger the person; on the contrary, if one fire goes out, one will be riddled with diseases and nightmares will strike;
If the two fires are extinguished, even the sanity will not be safe.

When all three fires are extinguished, it is basically like a dead person.

Jiangling is walking along the lively area, suddenly hearing the blowing and beating ahead, it is very festive.

There were crowds of people on both sides of the street.

Listening to the chat, it is said that someone has hired him to marry the daughter of Lin Yuan's family as his wife.

"The son of the county magistrate, even that dog is good enough for Miss Shanglin? It really is a flower stuck in cow dung."

"The only thing to blame is that the Lin family is an outsider. If they want to gain a foothold here, they have to curry favor with the officials. Now, only the son of the county magistrate is not yet married. It is also suitable for the two families."

"That's right, that Lin Yuanwai is really blind, and actually agreed."

"Hush, you can keep your voice down, if the yamen hears this, it will not be a good fruit for you."

"Just to be honest, that Nie Yixiu got sick in Yanhualiu Lane last month, and I went to the doctor's for treatment. Miss Lin must have ruined it for nothing by marrying him."

"Even so, it's none of your business. It's just a pity. If the Lin family and the county government also work together in the future, then our life may be even more difficult."

While listening, Jiang Ling also heard Nie Chengan's name by chance.

Immediately, my heart was also confused.

Nie Chengan, isn't that Nie Qian's father?
He asked the person next to him: "Brother, who is the magistrate of Linzhou County?"

The little brother glanced at him: "I don't even know who the county magistrate is? From out of town? Our county magistrate in Linzhou County is naturally that Nie Cheng'an."

With brother's confirmation, Jiang Ling became even more curious.

"Nah, look, come as soon as you say it, isn't that the county magistrate riding a tall horse?" The younger brother pointed to a middle-aged man in the hiring team.

Just as Jiang Ling looked over, he suddenly felt the corpse on his back trembling.

An angry voice reached his ears - "That's Nie Chenggui, he...he actually pretended to be my father and became the county magistrate here."

In the anger of words, I wish I could tear it into pieces.

But Jiang Ling felt even more curious.

Dare to feel that her uncle Nie Chenggui, who had the same surname as Nie and was of the same generation as her father, not only didn't run away to hide after killing their family, but even came to Linzhou County with relevant documents to become the magistrate.

In this era, do officials only recognize documents but not people?

Nie Chenggui has been a guest of the county magistrate for so long, but he hasn't been in the gang yet?
