Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 32

"Ok?"

Hu Qian was stunned for a while, then asked strangely, "What did the lady dream about?"

Shen Yuzhen shook her head and said, "I can't say it, it won't work if I say it."

Although Hu Qian was curious, Xing'er came to report that he was invited by the state government.

At this moment, the silent reminder appeared again.

【What is Shen Yuzhen's dream】

He went out and was about to leave when he suddenly turned his attention and said to Hu Jiu: "If Madam goes out, follow her.

It's fine if she doesn't leave the city, and if she does, tell me right away. "

Hu Jiu nodded to express his understanding.

When they arrived at the state government office, Xu Yuanfang and others were already waiting.

It's just that the faces of a few people are very ugly.

"Qian'er, come here!"

"what happened?"

"Several counties came to report again, saying that mother and child suicide cases have occurred again in various places, and the new prefect of Shannan Prefecture, Xing Ziming, has sent people over.

They said they couldn't solve the case within two days, and they were going to punish us! "

"Oh, there is no clue, what can I do!"

"It's really bad luck!"

"Speaking of which, it's suicide! Where are we going to find him a murderer!"

Several people complained dejectedly when they spoke to each other.

Hu Qian said: "My lords, I don't know what the students asked me to investigate yesterday..."

Xu Yuanfang said: "I have checked, there is no such doctor in Jinling Prefecture, and I have never heard of such a Taoist temple."

Master Tongzhi He said: "Brother Hu, did your son misjudge the direction?"

Judge Li Daren said: "In my opinion, it may be the work of bandits such as Niu Dewang.

They mixed in the city and forced the mother and child to commit suicide. "

Hu Qian said: "Since this is the case, please ask Mr. Li to investigate this matter."

Master Li's complexion immediately changed, and he repeatedly shied away.

Xu Yuanfang said: "Qian'er, what do you think should be done?"

Just as Hu Qian was about to speak, a yamen servant suddenly came in from outside.

"Young master Hu, your servant Hu Jiu is outside, and he said that if he is there, he will look for you."

Hu Qian bowed his hands to Xu Yuanfang and the others, and immediately walked out quickly.

When Hu Jiu saw her, she immediately whispered, "Young Master, Young Madam, she has left the city."

Hu Qian said, "Is she alone?"

"Yes, I also bought a lot of incense candles and fruits, as if I'm going to burn incense somewhere."

Hu Qian led the horse from the state office, and chased it out of the city.

Only less than two miles out of the city, I saw Shen Yuzhen in a gazebo.

At this moment, she was sitting and resting inside, with a fruit basket beside her, which indeed contained joss sticks and the like.

Hu Qian led the horse over, and said with a smile, "Young lady, I'm so excited, why did you come here alone?"

Shen Yuzhen was startled at first, but when she saw that it was Hu Qian, she was both happy and surprised.

"Master..."

Hu Qian got off his horse and sat beside her.

"Is there something the lady is hiding from me?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "Forgive me, my lord, it's not because I don't want to talk about it, it's just that it won't work if I talk about it."

Hu Qian smiled and said: "Well, it's not convenient for you to say, let me guess.

Well, you are going to burn incense now, right? "

Shen Yuzhen nodded.

"It was the immortal in your dream who sent you here, right?"

She nodded again.

"He told you that if you come to burn incense, you will have children."

She still nodded.

Judging from Shen Yuzhen's performance yesterday and today, it's not difficult to guess, the key is where is the celestial being, and how did she get here in the dream.

Hu Qian looked around, except for the official road, the rest were trees and weeds, and there were no temples or Taoist temples.

"My lady, since when have you believed in these gods and ghosts?"

She suddenly fell into Hu Qian's arms and began to cry, "Master, I am afraid of losing you, so I want to give you a son.

Unexpectedly, when I got here, my ankle hurt, so I stopped to rest.

If the husband is not happy, the concubine will not mention this matter again after she is born. "

Hu Qian hugged her, suddenly thinking of those mothers and children who hanged themselves.

Could it be that the same is true for all those women—a fairy told them in a dream to go to a certain place to burn incense, and they would be able to conceive, and then they went.

As a result, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child.

But then why did he commit suicide again?
It seems that the problem lies in this so-called "Shangxian".

Those women were afraid that it would be ineffective to speak out, so they didn't tell anyone, even if the other party was their husband-in-law.

"My lady, I have something to tell you, but this is not the place to talk. If you believe me, come back with me."

"My lord's words are serious, I will obey my lord's orders in everything."

Hu Qian kissed her on the forehead, and then hugged her on the horse. He put his arms around her belly with one hand and the rein with the other, and slowly returned home.

In the bedroom, Hu Qian roughly told Shen Yuzhen about his guess.

Shen Yuzhen looked scared, "What does my husband mean, those women were probably killed by the gods in the dream?"

Hu Qian was noncommittal, and only said softly: "Shen Yan, we still need to find out what happened, but you are not allowed to go out these few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prompt in his mind changed immediately.

[Women who pretend to beg for a child may be able to meet the gods]

Hu Qian's heart moved, and he immediately had an idea.

At night, it was the best time for Chunfeng Building's business.

As soon as Hu Qiancai appeared, the bustard greeted him immediately.

At the time of the student case, she knelt down on the ground as soon as she came up, and she didn't have time to see Hu Qian's face clearly, so she didn't recognize him.

"Oh, what a handsome son! Please come in!"

Hu Qian lightly shook his folding fan, and casually threw a tael of silver to the old bustard. The latter smiled happily and shouted inwardly, "Ruyan! Come and serve me!"

Hu Qian shook his head and said, "One is not enough, we need three."

The old bustard was taken aback, and looked Hu Qian up and down, "My lord, you haven't taken any medicine, have you?"

The matter of the student case has just passed, and the old bustard still has some shadows in his heart.

If the other party takes medicine and messes around.

At that time, my daughter may die from eating poisonous mushroom plague by mistake.

Hu Qian said: "Nonsense! I don't want to die yet! Call someone here!"

Only then did the bustard feel relieved, "Ruyan, invite the young master to the private room first, and I'll call Qiuyue and Xiaoya."

In the room, Ruyan immediately sat on Hu Qian's lap, "My lord, I will serve you a drink."

As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine and brought it to Hu Qian's mouth.

Hu Qian pointed to the stool on the other side, motioning for her to sit there!
Ruyan was taken aback for a moment, but sat down obediently.

Wives and concubines can find a few more, but let's forget about this kind of one that thousands of people sleep on.

The other two came in, and when they saw Hu Qian's extraordinary clothes and handsome appearance, they were immediately elated and stuck to them.

"My lord, the slave family will serve you."

Hu Qian shook his head, took out 30 taels of silver and put it on the table.

"I don't want you to serve me either, as long as you do one thing for me, all the money will be yours."

The eyes of the three of them were shining brightly, and their jade hands reached out to Yinzi involuntarily.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm very good at playing the flute and turning the phoenix upside down. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Hu Qian pushed the silver away with a folding fan, and said with a smile: "I don't need these, I just need you to help me find a child."

"Ask for a child?"

The three of them looked at each other, all a little confused.

"Is it a new trick somewhere?"

"My lord, please speak clearly, the servants don't understand."

Hu Qian took out from his bosom a picture of Avalokitesvara bought from the street.

"Hang it on the head of the bed, and then the three of you come over and let's talk on the bed."
