Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 29
"Nie Xiaoqian?!"

Previously he was only focused on dealing with the robbers, but Hu Qian didn't notice the faces of these four people. Now he saw them, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

According to Liaozhai, Xiaoqian looks like someone who walked out of a painting.

Looking at the woman in front of her again, she has a fair face, a slightly high nose bridge, and long and thin lips. Although she is beautiful, she has a feeling that strangers should not get close to her.

If Shen Yuzhen is gentle and graceful, then Xiaoqian is a glamorous beauty.

"So it's Lord Nie, sorry." Hu Butong clasped his fists.

"Master Hu, you are being polite. If you hadn't met Master Hu and Mr. Ling, the three members of the Xiaguan family and even the old servant would have died here."

He said and bowed to Hu Qian again.

Hu Qian quickly returned the gift.

"Master Nie, where are you going..."

"It seems that Mr. Hu doesn't know yet, does he?"

"how?"

"Xiaguan has a friend who works as a clerk in Shannan Mansion. I heard from him the day before yesterday that because of the student case, Shannan Mansion has had a lot of personnel changes, and even low-level officials like Xiaguan have been involved...

This trip is to go to the post of Renzhi County in Guobei County. "

"Oh, it turned out that I was going to take office too, congratulations."

"My lord is laughing at me, how can a subordinate official compare to my lord.

Besides, Mr. Ling repeatedly solved strange cases and was given a unicorn suit. Just now, he wiped out the robbers in just a few moves.

This kind of talent is really enviable. "

"Where is it, the dog is naughty, Mr. Nie is too much."

When the two were talking, Nie Xiaoqian secretly looked at Hu Qian, and several times his eyes were straightened.

"Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian! Come and meet Master Hu!"

Nie Changfeng yelled a few times before Nie Xiaoqian came back to her senses, bowed and said, "I've met Mr. Hu." She still couldn't stop looking at Hu Qian while speaking.

"Ahem..." Nie Changfeng coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "Forgive me, Mr. Hu, Xiaoqian, who spends her days playing with words, always envies those righteous people.

Before hearing that Mr. Hu had solved strange cases, he clamored to meet such a strange man, so he lost his composure, my lord, don't be offended. "

Hu Butong laughed, "It's okay."

After talking for a while, the two parties were about to say goodbye and went their separate ways.

At this time, Hu Qian suddenly said: "Your Excellency is going to take office in Guobei County, so be careful of Lanruo Temple."

Nie Changfeng said: "I heard that ghosts often haunt Lanruo Temple. I don't know if it is true or not. Since Mr. Hu said so, it seems that it is probably true."

Hu Qian nodded.

According to the book, Xiaoqian died in Lanruo Temple.

Later, he was coerced by the big demon in Lanruo Temple to seduce passers-by and let the monster suck the blood of passers-by.

It's fine if you don't meet her, but if you meet her, remind her, lest something unexpected happen to her and she will disappear.

However, Nie Changfeng said: "When you are an official, you must benefit one party. If there are ghosts and monsters that harm the people, I must not ignore them."

After finishing speaking, I bowed my hands and said goodbye.

Hu Qian shook his head secretly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Dare to ask Miss Fang's age?"

Nie Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Hu Qian inexplicably.

Hu BuTong said: "Qian'er, don't be rude!"

Nie Xiaoqian didn't dare to look into Hu Qian's eyes, turned around, and walked straight into the carriage.

Nie Changfeng said: "Lord Hu, don't get angry." Then he turned to Hu Qian and said, "My little girl is only seventeen."

Before Hu Qian could speak, he turned his head and saw Nie Xiaoqian was lifting a corner of the curtain on the carriage and looking this way secretly.

Having said all that, if he still insists on doing this, it will be his fate.

It was already evening when the group arrived at Jinling City.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw this formation, they were startled immediately and became alert.

After asking about the situation, seeing Hu Qian coming out again, he immediately exclaimed: "So it is Hu Daxian, no wonder he is so capable! He even captured the famous bald bandit San Biaozi!

Let go now! "

When they arrived at the state government office, Xu Yuanfang, who got the news, immediately came out to greet him.

It's just that he is much older now, his temples are gray, and he no longer has the same spirit as before.

"Brother Xu."

"Brother Hu!"

Hu Tongtong and Xu Yuanfang talked about the old days, and then settled Hu Qian and others to Xu's mansion, let everyone spend the night in the mansion first, and then arrange the future affairs.

After the banquet, both Zhao and Shen Yuzhen went back to rest, and there were only Hu Qian and three in the hall.

"I heard that Brother Hu was coming, so I immediately sent someone to help you find a suitable place to live, but unfortunately there was no decent house for sale, so I had to rent the old house of the Wu family first.

Although it is an old house, it is also a large courtyard with three rooms and three rooms, and it is kept very clean. "

"Thank you, Brother Xu."

"You can live for a while, the Wu family has been in ruins recently, maybe it will sell the house in a few years."

Hu Budong nodded, hesitated and asked, "Does Zhenhu have any news?"

Xu Yuanfang immediately sighed, "Let's not talk about Jinling City, I sent people from all the surrounding counties to look for it, and it turned out..."

Hu Tong looked at Hu Qian, "Qian'er, what can you do?"

Hu Qian shook his head.

Xu Yuanfang excitedly said: "The last time I saw Mrs. Ma, I heard that Qian'er would ask God's method. If you ask God, maybe there will be some clues."

Hu Qian said: "The art of asking the gods consumes a lot of mana. Every time it is used, it will take at least three years to recover."

"I have considered this before, so I never sent someone to invite Qian'er."

Seeing him sad, Hu Tong changed the subject and said, "I heard that Shannan Mansion has undergone great changes, does Brother Xu know?"

"The student case involved a lot. The magistrate Tong Mingrui was demoted to a commoner, and the official Yan Wenqu was exiled to the Southwest. There were also large and small changes in personnel affairs in other counties."

"So, brother Xu, what about you?"

"If you are not strict in teaching your children, you will be fined for two years."

Xu Yuanfang drank his sorrows with wine, and Hu Qian and his son stayed with him until midnight before leaving.

Early the next morning, Hu Butong and Xu Yuanfang went to the state government office for business. Xu Qiang, the housekeeper of the Xu family, helped Hu Qian and others move into the old house of the Wu family.

But as Xu Yuanfang said, the old house is actually the same as the new one.

I asked the housekeeper a little, and said that when the Wu family lived here before, they had conflicts with the family of You Yushi's younger brother not far away.

Because he couldn't afford it, he hid in his hometown in Sanshui County. This house was reluctant to sell, so it has been rented out.

Hu Qian looked around with his magical powers, and there was nothing strange about it.

After everything was settled, Hu Qian took Shen Yuzhen to wander around Jinling City. It was almost noon, and they went to a restaurant for dinner.

Who would have thought that just as he was seated, he suddenly heard a voice saying: "The opposite is Mr. Hu Qian?"

Hu Qian turned his head curiously, and saw that it was a maidservant, who looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"you are?"

"The servant girl is the maidservant of Ma Shoubei's family. She met Mr. Hu last time."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"My eldest lady and second lady are having dinner upstairs, and I would like to invite you to come and talk."

Shen Yuzhen whispered to Hu Qian: "The two ladies of the Ma family, are they Ma Ningxue and Ma Ningrong?"

Hu Qian nodded, and was about to refuse, but Shen Yuzhen stood up suddenly, remembering something, and said with a light smile, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Xiang, just go and see him."
