Chapter 116 The strange talk about the new home and Caishikou

Late at night, two genius arrested in Ning Chang'an and Jingzhao Mansion went downstairs to say goodbye to each other.

The three little heads of Guangling County, Lehuan, Liang Xiao and Xiang Yao are still waiting for Ning Chang'an in the street not far from Sihailou.

Seeing the three people, Ning Chang'an walked over. During the day, he thought about killing the three mighty head catchers like eggplant beaten by frost, and was depressed.

There is no forbidden night in the canal. There are a large number of scholars, eunuchs, like night owls, and children of eunuchs who leave the city at night to invite talented women to listen to music on pleasure boats. If you come to interest by chance, you will also carry guns and get on horseback in the forests on both sides of the canal.

So at night, the line of the dock canal is still very lively.

There is no need to lose face anymore. Ning Chang'an doesn't mention the scene of the evening dock. He is the chief constable, so he will do team building.

He directly called the three of them to the wine shop on the side of the river to have a drink and talk about it.

Similar to the food stall, there are many river banks extending out of the dock. Merchant ships and porters of the dock drink, and many people drink wine. Drinking and eating meat in this kind of place is down-to-earth, the key is to win over people with one's heart.

Le Huan, Liang Xiao, and Xiang Yao were a little restrained at first, but Ning Chang'an was good at adjusting the atmosphere. Lu Qian was also a person with a clear mind. He had not yet mastered the sword technique, but he had a perfect skill that he had worked hard to deal with the gangster in Chentang County.

Not long after, Lu Qian boasted that the three arresters were convinced by Ning Chang'an, and put on their sleeves and started drinking with Lu Qian. They also worshiped Ning Chang'an with big bowls, and they also punished themselves for the dirty plots of the evening.

How many corpse-sewners are there in Caishikou? Whether Taoist priests in Daoguan in Guangling County go to the tram, which brothel is plump, which tram has women from the outside world, does the gentleman from Guangling Academy have a flirting with the fox demon? These trivial matters are just like beans and beans told by three constables.

At the dinner table, Ning Chang'an discovered that the three captains in Guangling County were actually upgraded versions of Lu Qian.

The wharf is mixed with dragons and snakes, and all the various religions and all the people know each other. The children of officials who come out of the capital are familiar with each other, and they know all about their preferences. They can still collect protection fees and members' money. Just like Lu Qian, who took fishermen's silver sprouts at Chentang wharf, could get some benefits without blushing.

But while talking, Ning Chang'an also found that the bottom line of the three people was still there, not bullying the weak and domineering women, nor forcing good men to become prostitutes, and gritted their teeth at the accidental human trafficking case in Guangling County.

Ning Chang'an can tell the greetings of the three people from the restaurant, the porter, the cargo ship owner and the shopkeeper of the surrounding shops. These family words after drinking are nothing.

If you have this moral bottom line in the dock, it will be taught to Ning Chang'an.

This team building is effective.

At midnight, Ning Chang'an and Lu Qian arrived at the official residence.

The lights in the official house are not out, and the beams are waiting for Ning Chang'an.

The two talked at night with candles. Ning Chang'an didn't talk about things like Tianjimen. Liang Zhaoxiang just needed to manage the regular livelihood of Guangling County.

The night was dark, Liang Zhaoxiang went to bed, Ning Chang'an digested the information he had received throughout the day.

Ning Chang'an often passively deals with many things that arise from the Hongshan case, so it is often dangerous because people are in the public office and they cannot help themselves.

It is still in the public office today, but Ning Chang'an needs to change his approach.

Some things can get out of the way, and some things cannot. What I am now facing is the situation where I cannot stay out of the matter. Ning Chang'an believes in what Nangucheng said, once the Mu Ling Legion appears, it will be a disaster!

Therefore, you must bear what you should take responsibility, and you must take the initiative to do things and pay attention to the principle of making plans for everything, and you will not make plans, and you will be abolished.

The first step is naturally to find people. Ning Chang'an should pay attention to how to find the method.

Thinking in the middle of the night, many solutions gradually took shape in Ning Chang'an's consciousness.

Nangucheng is efficient. The next day, two constables from Jingzhao Prefecture came. They were both smart constables who had participated in Chentang County's case handling and met Ning Chang'an.

I found two houses in Beijing, less than eight miles away from Jingzhao Mansion, which is extremely close.

Ning Chang'an first sells grandpa's pearls.

There are two constables from Jingzhao Mansion accompanying him. The shopkeeper of the Jingcheng jewelry shop does not reduce the price. The best pearls are not common in the palace and are expensive.

Ning Chang'an gets a thousand taels of silver.

With money in hand, the subsequent house viewing is to follow up.

Both houses are the residences of small officials who were dismissed in the case of princes and nobles in the capital. They enter and exit two houses in front and back. The backyard is a small building with female family living in the backyard, which is a distance from the downtown area. The ones adjacent to the left and right are the houses of official officials in various institutions in the capital, which are quiet and safe.

Not cheap, about 400 taels, or the internal price.

Ning Chang'an likes houses, and Ning Chang'an chose a slightly higher priced house. It is more exquisite than another large house and has a more bookish aroma.

Then there is my own courtyard.

Located at the intersection of Xizi River and Canal River in Guangling County.

The environment is beautiful, less than five miles from the nearest commercial and goods wharf, and along the Xizi River is the Taoist temple where Tianyin Temple, Guangling Academy and the Yimei Taoist in the mouth of Nangucheng.

Ning Chang'an was a little doubtful if it was a compound that Nangucheng was deliberately found in the convenience of his own affairs.

But the courtyard of Siheyuan is indeed beautiful. What makes Ning Chang'an amazing is that there are ancient trees that are thicker than the courtyard of Chentang County, and they are old locust trees.

The locust tree does not plant its yard. This is the custom of the Blue Star. There are inauspicious sayings among the people. It is heavy in yin energy and attracts evil spirits, but the Yu Kingdom does not. Perhaps this is the reason why the little white Yin Realm opens the door to the old locust tree.

The price is more than half the price than the houses in Beijing.

Ning Chang'an made a decision directly, and if you don't leave too much, you will be the old locust tree courtyard.

Lu Qian gained the glory of Ning Chang'an.

Unexpectedly, when he went to the capital to settle down, Lu Qian's principle was to be closer to the courtyard where Ning Chang'an lived alone, so that he could ask Ning Chang'an for advice on swordsmanship anytime and anywhere.

The residence in Chang'an in Ning was a little remote, and Lu Qian chose a courtyard close to the dock to find a good one.

The price is acceptable.

Everything settled down.

I walked around during the day and learned about the environment. I observed Ning Chang'an from the dock to the bustling areas of the canal and then to the Xizihe and its Caishikou.

The focus is Caishikou.

The Beiming Blood River Array at the foot of the Hongshan Mountain pulls the Yin Qi, and the evil wind blew up in Caishikou, and the large areas of houses became ruins and ruined tiles. After one month, Caishikou had already returned to its former appearance.

At that time, Ning Chang'an's look at the Qi Talisman, the two corpse shops were abnormal. One was a tornado in the sky, and the other was surrounded by Langlang Qingqi. The former was the No. 9 corpse shop and the latter was No. 7.

The corpse-sewners of two shops disappeared at the same time that night.

The corpse-sewing man No. 9 is Wu Huangsu, a man, with the name of the three families. He has been sewing corpse-sewing in Caishikou for eight years. He is forty years old, short and hunched.

The origin is unknown. When Le Huan and others arrived in Guangling County, Wu Huangsu was already there. He was taciturn and liked to read and listen to books outside the sewing of corpses. He was with a monkey and lived for many years.

As for the cripple in the No. 7 sewing shop, Ning Chang'an also obtained relatively detailed information from Liang Xiaokou, who was in charge of the Caishikou area.

The name is Cai Qingge. When the three of them were still confiscated, they would sew corpses at the entrance of the city. They had a hobby, fishing, and when they were free, they liked to fish in the Xizi River.

A month ago, there was a demonic storm at Caishikou, and the two disappeared. The search in Guangling County Government failed to resolve the situation. The person sewed the corpse and was despicable. If he lost it, he would not pursue it and handle the case!

Liang Xiao is responsible for the Caishikou area. He is brave and has told a lot of strange things about Caishikou.

The corpse sewing person will die inexplicably. The corpse of the corpse being cut off but the corpse being sewn often disappears, and evil spirits will appear in Caishikou every now and then. Therefore, merchants around Caishikou do not go out at dark.

When encountering these things, the county government will report to Jingzhao Mansion, and then there will be a magician of the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor or a simplified mirror of the Sixiu Guard to drive away evil spirits and subdue demons.
