Chapter 14 Special Tasks
Leng Qingchan was shocked by the contents of the album.
It tells the story of a monk, a monkey, a pig demon, and a water monster traveling west together. It has wild imagination, incisive words, unique and eclectic painting skills, and a few words of explanation of life thinking and Taoism.
You see, this is not something a policeman can do.
Lengqingchan is not the invincible Liu Xilou who owns one-third of an acre of land in Chentang County. The capital of the Yu State has prosperous commerce, convenient transportation, and a strong academic atmosphere. It has many academies and ancient temples. There are countless famous people traveling from south to north. In the Mingyue Tower, people are playing the piano and singing.
I got to know many talented scholars and children from aristocratic families.
These people are full of knowledge, but now they are compared with Ning Changan's talents shown in the album.
None of that!
Then Leng Qingchan thought about what Lu Qian mentioned about Ning Changan making photos for Jilou.
I have never heard of portraits before, and the words are very new, but guessing the meaning, it is probably a series of personal portraits.
Leng Qingchan began to think that if she often accompanied guests on sightseeing tours, she might go to Chentang County next time and ask Ning Changan to take a photo of her.
Money is never an issue.
Thinking like this, Leng Qingchan raised the corners of her mouth and became drunk with Fengyue!
As the morning light faded, Ning Changan went out after washing up.
There are two gas talismans, two fire talismans each, and one other talisman. The blacksmith's copper crossbow is not carried.
inconvenient.
The night before, Ning Changan carefully studied the jade bone finger and didn't see the reason. It was inevitable that he would have to let the old man take a look at it, so Ning Changan stayed up late to write the law of conservation of energy for the old man.
The county magistrate got a salary increase and got five taels of silver ingots as extra money. Ning Changan ate a bowl of snowflake tofu and xiaolongbao at the village market.
Ning Changan really likes this kind of fireworks.
The capital has the splendor of the city, and Chentang County has the philistines and fireworks of the towns. Ning Changan feels that he is a small person. If he does not slay demons, in a small place like this and Liu Xilou, who is not inferior to the oiran of the capital, people like Xie Ling'er say
Talking about dirty things, living like a brother with the boss Lu Qianxianyu, being taken care of by the county magistrate, such a life is dull but practical. And there is no risk.
Long-term development can only be planned first. In the short-term, we need to be down-to-earth.
Look at the embroidered guards of the Mirror Division. One fierce ghost killed two people. When encountering those big monsters, they were not killed or injured. People should be content with their content!
There were obviously more people greeting Ning Chang'an at the market. Ning Chang'an knew that this was the celebrity effect created by Ji Lou's exaggerated publicity for catching monsters.
Tofu nao, Xiao Long Bao lower abdomen, Ning Changan feels at ease.
Follow the official road into the county town and go straight to the Yamen.
I saw Lu Qian and two detectives from a distance.
"Good morning, boss," Ning Changan greeted.
Give Ning Changan steamed buns. Ning Changan, who avoids waste, puts the buns into his mouth and clicks them at the Yamen. For Ning Changan, it is equivalent to punching in.
Then there is the routine patrol along the street.
Chentang County is prosperous, but after all, the population is limited, and few murders occur. Slaying demons and demons does not belong to the yamen. In the past, Ning Changan often did things such as resolving neighborhood disputes and assisting neighbors in finding chickens and ducks. He also mediated.
Trivial matters such as marital incompatibility and family problems.
Ning Changan really feels that this job is the most suitable for him at the moment.
After midnight, Ning Changan was called over by the pian."
The official's surname is Li, and he is considered the second-in-command of the yamen.
He is in his forties, with simple appearance and gray hair on the temples that exceeds the age of magistrate Liang Zhaoxiang, who is over fifty years old.
"Chang'an, the Wang family reporter in Yanziping said that the village is haunted. Go and have a look."
Ning Changan was stunned, "It's not under the administration of the Yamen."
Li Dianli lamented: "Naturally, he will not return, but because he does not return, these seemingly trivial things will often cause trouble. The house is haunted, and the Yamen does not care. The Mirror Department will not dispatch embroidered guards for these trivial matters, and let those
The head of the family asked a Taoist priest to cast a spell, but money and money were also a problem. If there was too much noise, the chickens and dogs would be restless, and there might even be deaths. The yamen is just to ensure peace for one party. Are you right?"
After a pause, Li Dianli continued: "The weather in Yanziping has been extreme and droughty in recent years, and the gentry and villagers who have the conditions have long since moved out. The people who applied for official positions are the Wang family, who have been doing business for generations, and now they have moved to the capital. There are only two people in the mansion.
The handyman took care of him. He returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors in the first ten days of the year and stayed in the old house at night. The ancestral house was haunted. He was frightened and fell ill. He took his family with more than ten people. After returning to the capital, a maid died. The coachman and Mrs. Wang also fell ill.
The Wang family was engaged in business and became wealthy. They went to Yanziping with a Taoist priest to check but found no results. The Taoist priests were all safe. When they came back, they said that the head of the Wang family was homesick and had a heart attack and a cold. Originally, the matter ended like this, but in the past two days, the head of the Wang family was
I happened to be in Chentang County, and I heard that you were able to slay demons and enter a haunted house, so I went to the Yamen specifically."
After what Li Dianli said, Ning Changan understood the general idea.
The Taoist priest's investigation results in Yanziping did not satisfy the head of the Wang family. When he heard that he had killed the demon, he went to the Yamen with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Of course, there is a huge amount of financial support behind it.
To put it simply, the idea was false and the yamen simply took over a private job for money.
Going to Yanziping by himself still had the same result as before, but Qian Yin entered the Yamen.
Looking at Ning Changan's thinking expression, Li Dianli said: "My lord has given you a salary increase, right? You should be more responsible! Your lord originally wanted Lu to go to Yanziping, but the head of the Wang family named you as the one who did it."
Pretty, I'm optimistic that you can be a head catcher in the future. Besides being sneaky, the head of the Wang family has another reward."
Ning Changan’s quick analysis.
The Wang family's ancestral house is most likely safe, otherwise something might have happened to the handyman guarding the house. Besides, the Taoist priests all went to the old house. There are no ghosts.
Scientific analysis shows that the head of the Wang family is suffering from a mental illness.
The yamen's attitude is to let the yamen do the work, and the yamen collects the money. If it is really sneaky, it will be handled more perfectly and properly like Shilipo.
The risk factor is not high, and it is most likely a long trip lasting several days.
To take a step back, ordinary lonely ghosts really can't do anything to themselves.
There is another level to Ning Changan's heart.
Can improve experience.
Proficient combat skills come from hard training in actual combat. If you need more, so will the three paper beauties.
"Your Majesty, Chang'an is naturally obliged to explain."
Li Dianli was satisfied with Ning Changan's answer.
"Start tomorrow"
"Understood", Ning Changan nodded.
After leaving the Yamen, Ning Changan mentioned the Yanziping incident to Lu Qian, and Lu Qian asked Ning Changan for the talisman.
He has his own plans in his heart. In the past, the yamen did not care about ghosts and ghosts. If there were residents in the city who were restless in their homes, and they invited Taoist priests to control the houses to eliminate the disaster, Ning Changan opened a window. In the future, the yamen may have interactions with lonely souls and wild ghosts.
It's getting more.
It cannot be said that it is absolutely a bad thing, at least if this kind of incident is handled properly, the private rewards will be generous, and with Ning Changan, everything will be worry-free.
Furthermore, being able to accumulate reputation will be of great benefit to you and the yamen. However, if you often walk by the river, your feet will inevitably get wet, so you should be prepared with a talisman.
Ning Changan replied: The master's whereabouts are erratic, so be patient.
Lu Qian believed in Ning Changan.
Ning Changan could tell the truth with just one mouth, and the two servants in Jilou were willing to treat Ning Changan, which made people envious and jealous.
But Ning Changan is really a person who cultivates his mind but not his mouth. He goes to Jilou many times and has never slept with anyone. He is reliable in his work.
I may be impatient. Most of the Taoist priests who can make powerful talismans are experts. They are rare and hard to come by.
The two of them walked together, and Lu Qian told Ning Changan to ask for more talismans when encountering Taoist priests.
Ning Changan nodded in agreement.
