I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 17 Helping others is the foundation of happiness

That afternoon, they found the family of the missing child.Both families are in mountain villages outside Guobei County.

The girl's family searched the nearby mountain village for a while after the child was lost, thinking that the child had been taken away by wild beasts in the mountains, so they did not report to the police.

When the child is lost and recovered, the child's parents are naturally very happy.

After some questioning and coercion, the parents of the two children did not know who saved their children.

The police officers searched for two days inside and outside Guobei City, but found nothing.

The county magistrate was very annoyed, reprimanded them and deducted half a month's salary from them.

Everyone was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do about it. It was common in any historical dynasty to crush someone to death at the top of the official rank.

Regarding the major incident of children being stolen and robbed frequently that they did not realize recently, the county magistrate also told the county lieutenant to solve the case as soon as possible.

It's just that there's a lot of thunder and little rain, and such an important matter as a child being robbed seems far less important than the quilt being stolen from the county magistrate's house.

This thing sounds really ironic!

"You guys, it's becoming more and more outrageous!" Lao Hou sighed.

In Lizhou County, a hundred miles west of Guobei County, in a rather large house.

Huang Shen, who was tall and dressed in brocade clothes, asked for water with a gloomy expression.He received a report from the people below that something happened in Guobei County.

"Who dares to ruin my event!"

He sat there, the brocade robe on his body automatic without wind.

The servants in the entire courtyard were very careful. They could see that Mr. Huang was very unhappy today. It is said that if Mr. Huang was unhappy, he would not only deduct money, but also be beaten.

That afternoon, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi with sparse eyebrows approached Mr. Huang.

"Mister, do you know about Guobei County?"

"Understood, I just came back from Guobei County, Zhang Yuan, Gao Luan, Song He should have all been killed." The man in Tsing Yi said.

"It's nothing more than Zhang Yuan and Song He, two wastes, Gao Luan's cultivation can enter the fifth rank of the Middle Realm, and he is also possessed of unique knowledge, but he was also killed. This is indeed beyond my expectations.

Combined with the murder of Mr. Huang a few days ago, Guobei County is likely to hide a master!A fifth-rank or even a fourth-rank master, this is very bad for you, Mr. Huang! "

When he said this, the man in Tsing Yi had a serious expression on his face.

"Sir, can you use the method of divination to calculate for me, where is that man in Guobei County?"

"Okay, I'll help you divination later, but the higher the cultivation base, the harder it is to predict, and I may not be able to occupy his exact position."

"Well, as long as you know a general location." Huang Shen said.

"My lord's affairs must not be delayed."

"Don't worry, I know which is more important." Huang Shen said.

In Guobei County, on the street, Wang Zhe stood on the side of the road smiling and watching Lao Hou help a woman carry water. The woman looked less than 30 years old and looked quite attractive.

Leaving the woman's house, Lao Hou was still cheerful, holding some melon seeds in his hand.

"Come on, try it, Xiulian just fried it, it's fragrant!"

"You are so kind, Laohou, you have come here three times in the past two days, and you are also carrying water and chopping firewood. Have you taken a fancy to him?"

"Nonsense, as a police officer of the imperial court, shouldn't it be right to respect the old and love the young, help the poor and help the poor, and do what you can for the people? Helping others is the root of happiness!" Laohou said righteous words.

"Okay, why didn't I see that you still have this consciousness before? Do you like it?"

"I like it, huh? These melon seeds are really fragrant, try it soon."

"I think she has a kind face and is a good match. If you like her, you can find someone to propose marriage."

"What's the marriage proposal? I just feel sorry for her husband's passing away, and she's a neighbor, so I can help a little." Lao Hou argued.

"You can pull it down, and return to the neighbor? Your house is two streets away from her house!"

"Azhe, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand, so go." Lao Hou patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't say I didn't remind you, if you like it, hurry up and fight for it. Don't wait until you miss it to regret it. Some people miss it for a lifetime!"

"Oh, Ah Zhe, what you said is so profound!" Lao Hou stopped and looked at Wang Zhe.

"Back then, Supreme Treasure regretted missing Fairy Zixia!" Wang Zhe smiled and said something that made Laohou baffled.

"Who is Supreme Treasure, and who is Fairy Zixia?"

"Immortal." Wang Zhe pointed to the sky.

"Immortal, why haven't I heard of it, who is bigger than the City God?"

"They might kill Chenghuang if they sneezed."

"It's so powerful, alas, please keep your voice down, the Temple of the City God is in front of you, this City God is very effective!"

"Successful?" Wang Zhe looked at the Chenghuang Temple not far ahead.

The Town God's Temple is quite prosperous in Guobei County, and the county magistrate will be there once a year to worship, and people also enter the temple to burn incense on weekdays.

"If he is really effective, why are there so many incidents in Guobei County!" There was a bit of disdain in the words

"Keep your voice down." After hearing this, Lao Hou hurriedly tugged him.

The matter of stealing the child was finally settled, and the investigation was not carried out.

Wang Zhe also went to the "Yizhuang" outside the city several times at night, but he didn't see anyone else.

Lao Hou still went to Sun Xiulian's house to help every day, and Wang Zhe could tell that he really liked that woman.

Because liking someone is written on the face.

I don't know if the girls in "Chun Xiao Lou" will miss Lao Hou?

The two were patrolling the street that afternoon, and they rode into Guobei County, also dressed as policemen, but they were from neighboring counties.

They went straight to the county government all the way, and seeing their hurried appearance, it seemed that something big had happened.

"They are police officers from Lizhou, what are they doing here at Guo Beicheng?"

"I'm afraid something big will happen!" Wang Zhe said.

He remembered that the last time policemen from neighboring counties came because a group of bandits appeared in the nearby mountains, and the two counties jointly suppressed the bandits.

The next morning, when it was midnight, the head catcher Zhu Xiao looked a little ugly, as if he had lost a lot of money.

After the dot, he told everyone a very bad news.

Recently, a "Big Flower Picker" appeared in a nearby county town. He has been committing crimes continuously, killing several girls, even the county magistrate's new concubine.

Coincidentally, their county magistrate just married a concubine last year, which made the county magistrate very worried when he got the news, and immediately issued an order to strengthen night patrols and add another team to guard the magistrate's mansion.

Cancellation of rest, no one is allowed to take leave.

"I heard that the flower picker not only ruined people's innocence, but also hurt people's lives. It's very vicious!"

While patrolling the streets, Lao Hou chatted with Wang Zhe about the "Big Flower Picker".
