I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 101 Cleaning the dust but not washing the heart ([-])
"What's going on these days? There are people looking for men, sons, and brothers. You say, it's okay to look for the living, and there are people who inquire about the dead. One after another."

The noodle stall owner sighed.

"Why, many living people are missing like this sister-in-law's husband?" Chen Chuzhi asked.

"It's not surprising. Every time the scientific examination comes, students rushing to take the examination gather in the capital. Some come and go. Some who fail the examination stay in the capital to prepare for the next Enke examination, and some simply travel to the mountains and rivers. It is common for people to leave home for several years without returning.”

As the noodle stall owner spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously.

"The strangest thing is that the people from the God Detective Department went around asking about Ling An, the number one God Detective in the world, and offered a reward of several hundred taels of silver. We don't know what happened, and we dare not earn the money. You must know that he is the best catcher in the world, and his kung fu is amazing, and he can kill you with just a single finger."

The seller of fake calligraphy and painting came up and said: "You always say that it's bad, it's two fingers."

"Where does he need to make a move? With a breath of true energy, the opponent's internal organs were torn apart in an instant. I heard that [-] people from the Shenhun Division were dispatched at the same time. They surrounded him for three days and three nights and did not dare to approach him. Understand."

A few small vendors also joined in to chat, and they spoke vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

The owner of the noodle stall nodded and said, "Even if we have news about him, if we have a life to earn a reward, we may not have a life to spend. We should sell noodles honestly, earning a bowl is a bowl, and feel at ease."

Gu Buquan seemed to be frozen, staring blankly at the mouth of the noodle stall owner opening and closing, and did not wake up until Chen Chuzhi called her.

Although it wasn't as miraculous as the rumors said, she had actually seen the number one god in the world catch Ling An.

"Where did you all hear this idle story? How do you know that it wasn't because of the Taozhuang case that he never came back..."

The fortune teller, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't bear it anymore, but he was immediately silenced by the noodle stall owner, and the others also fell silent.

"Why don't you say anything, what happened to Taozhuang?" Gu Buquan asked eagerly.

Earlier in Shangshutang, I heard Mr. Yu and General Rong mention the Taozhuang case. General Rong said that no one was alive or dead, but he didn't say much. I don't know what major case was involved. Caught and never returned?
The noodle stall owner hissed again, "Don't say it, don't say it."

This aroused Gu Buquan's curiosity even more. What kind of case is so secretive?Even the talkative fake calligraphy and painting stalls are silent.

"Why can't we talk about the Taozhuang case?" Chen Chuzhi asked with great interest.

The noodle stall owner looked mysterious again, and said in a low voice: "You can say whatever you want about the case of the living person, but you can't and can't say anything about the case of the ghost."

"A ghost case? What is it..."

Just as Gu Buquan asked, the noodle stall owner turned his head to greet others, and the other stall owners also dispersed. No one answered her words, which made her very puzzled and felt that something was wrong.

The more unfathomable it is, the more itchy the heart is. Several other noodle-eating customers also gathered together, and the owner of the noodle stall had to talk about it.

"Speaking of Taozhuang, we have to start with the Dawang Tomb."

The owner of the noodle stall said "the kindness is hard to turn down", lowered his voice again, and talked about Taozhuang.

"1000 years ago, a fierce battle took place in the Taohuashan area. A king who had experienced many battles died together with his soldiers. Later, his clan buried his bones among the cliffs. There are also countless treasures buried together, which is the origin of the Dawang Tomb. For 1000 years, [-] ghost guards have been guarding the Dawang Tomb day and night.”

"Taozhuang is in Peach Blossom Mountain. There are about 200 people. They don't communicate with people outside the mountain on weekdays. Suddenly, all the people disappeared overnight. The government checked not only Taozhuang, but also Xingzhuang and Lizhuang. , a total of hundreds of people, all disappeared. Not only people, but not even a chicken or dog left, all of them were alive or dead.

"The people in Taozhuang, Lizhuang and Xingzhuang must have taken something they shouldn't have, offended the king, and were arrested by the ghost guards. The gods who investigated the case never returned. So, this is Ghost case, don't ask, let alone investigate, otherwise you will be in bad luck."

As the noodle stall owner said, he shuddered, and everyone who listened with him stretched out his ears also had goose bumps all over his body.

Gu Buquan remembered that when he first met General Rong and others, they were all wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, saying it was an "unnecessary disguise", but it turned out that they were involved in a "ghost case".

In front of Guishu, any disguise is really superfluous.

"Have you ever heard of peach blossoms blooming in less than February..."

"Boss, five bowls of noodles."

Just as everyone was concentrating on waiting for the noodle stall owner's next words, they suddenly heard a shout from the top of their heads, which made everyone tremble in fright.

It was a few scholars who came to eat noodles, and they all gave way before sitting down. It seemed that they were sour and rotten just like Chen Chuzhi, and they were just eating noodles at street stalls. Where could there be so many poor rules?

Gu Buquan was very depressed, he was about to listen to the untimely peach blossom, but when these scholars disturbed him, the noodle stall owner refused to say anything more.

"Brother Zhao, is it true that Brother Wang is not coming back?" A scholar asked.

"He went to Xichen Tea House, where he eats delicious food, drinks spicy food, wears brocade, and sleeps in a tent. What is he doing when he comes back?" Brother Zhao replied.

"Xishen Tea House?" Chen Chuzhi couldn't help being interested, and interrupted to ask, "Not only for tea?"

"Wash the dust, if you can wash it, you will be a step up to the sky hahaha..."

Brother Zhao looked at Chen Chuzhi's puzzled expression, and said with a smile, "If you can enter the Xichen Tea House, you will be sure to pass the next spring test. Of course, first of all, it depends on whether you have the ability to enter the tea house."

Chen Chuzhi said disapprovingly, "A tea house only drinks tea. What does it have to do with scientific research?"

"Is this the first time for Xiongtai to come to the capital? I don't know that Xichen Tea House specializes in washing cold students. Today is the day of the tea house to meet friends through literature. Xiongtai has a look and you will know." Brother Zhao laughed more meaningfully.

Gu Buquan remembered that Mr. Yu had mentioned Xichen Tea House many times, and he also said that he would invite her to drink tea there.

"The minister is happy, the students are happy, the teahouse benefits, and everyone is happy."

From Mr. Yu's words, we can get a general idea, but it seems to be understandable. Students all over the world study hard, and then rush to the capital all the way, isn't it just to get ahead in high school in the scientific examination?

It can be said that Xichen Tea House can provide such a place for students to display their talents, which can be said to be a great merit.

It's no wonder that when these students talked about Xichen Tea House, they were all full of praise, and all of them showed admiration on their faces. It's fortunate to be favored by Xichen Tea House.

"Xishen Tea House, Xichen Tea House." Madam Wang suddenly yelled loudly, "I remember that Xichen Tea House was mentioned in my husband's letter."

Gu Buquan hurriedly asked Brother Zhao: "Brother Wang that Brother Cai mentioned just now, is he called Wang Zesheng?"

"Wang Zesheng?" Brother Zhao shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Wang Mashi's eyes darkened.

"Where is he?" Suddenly a hand stretched out in front of Gu Buquan, picked up the portrait she drew just now, stared at her and asked.

Gu Buquan was terrified, looked at the man, then at the portrait.

"Jingzhao government office."

The man ran away without saying a word.

"Hey... the body was buried long ago." When Gu Buquan shouted, the man had already disappeared.

When she chased her to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the gatekeeper asked him three questions, and no one went to identify the corpse.

She scratched her head and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

But Ling An, who was in the distance behind him, felt a familiar aura and was scratching his head just like her.

Where did you see that man?
"Incomplete, incomplete sister, wrong, wrong, Xichen Tea House is not here." Chen Chuzhi arrived panting.
