Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 75

Hu Qian asked Hu Jiu curiously, "What do they mean by the copper coins and silver demons?"

Hu Jiudao: "Young Master, I haven't heard of the younger one either."

There are quite a few skillful craftsmen in Jinling, but Hu Qian didn't have the time to find them one by one, so he went to the tooth shop in the south of the city and found a manager named Ma Wu.

Ma Wuyi heard that he was working for Master Tongzhi, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and patted his chest and said that he would find the best mason.

Relying on Hu Qian's presence, Hu Jiu became very imposing, and said: "Don't find someone to cover things up for you, or the master will get angry, and you can't stand your teeth."

Ma Wudao: "How can it be, the villain dares not to deceive the master.

Besides, who in Jinling City doesn't know that Mr. Hu can use spells?How can a villain have the guts. "

Hu Qian nodded, and asked again: "There should be a maid on your side, right?"

"Yes, yes, what do you want? Beautiful, young, cooking, dancing, singing, everything."

Hu Qian said, "Is there any now?"

Ma Wudao: "Yo, there is no ready-made thing for this, just to say which family can't live on, sell children and sell daughters, come to us to make a record, and if any master or wife needs it, it will be sent to the house.

If you are in a hurry, the villain will deliver it to your house in the afternoon at the latest, so you can take a look first. "

"What's the origin?"

"The way must be a decent way, usually those who can't survive, those who can't support themselves, and the refugees who live here.

If you don't believe me, just send it over and ask, if the way is wrong, you can arrest me.

Besides, the way is not right, does the villain dare to send it to Tongzhi's house?

Isn't that pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth, courting death? "

Hu Qian said: "You can speak well."

"If you do this, you can eat with your mouth."

"Okay, dancing and singing are fine. If there are young ones who can cook, please send them to me first."

So he made an appointment with Ma Wu for the start of work, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly asked curiously, "Do you know what happened to the copper coins and silver demons?"

Ma Wudao: "That's a coincidence for you to ask.

The villain has an aunt and cousin who used to be a tea merchant who traveled all over the world. He came back from the south a few days ago and happened to talk about this coin and silver demon.

According to him, this copper coin and silver demon is very famous in several southern state capitals.

This person likes to use his robe to kill other people's concubines and rape corpses. Afterwards, he will put a copper coin in the mouth of the deceased, and then write the location of the next crime on the stomach of the corpse. "

Hu Qian frowned, "Serial killer?"

"We don't really understand, anyway, the government has been unable to hold him, and I heard that he can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Oh, yes, I heard that the next location is our Jinling. "

Hu Jiudao: "The young master is here, does he really dare to come here? I'm afraid it's not a trick...what's the matter?"

"To make things mysterious."

"Yes, although he wrote about Jinling, he secretly went to other places to commit crimes."

"It's hard to say, I heard that as long as he writes about the place, he will definitely go!
Several big families in the city have come these days, and they are all here to hire thugs from the nursing home. "

After asking for a while, Hu Qian and Hu Qian returned home.

The three of the Zhao family have already returned, not only bought a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables, but also white fungus and bird's nest. At this time, they are explaining how to cook with Liu Ma, and they are going to give Axiu a boost.

Hu Qian stood beside him for a while before being called over by Hu Tong.

"Father, didn't you go to the state office today?"

"went."

Hu Butong stretched his body, "The state office is fine, I'm back early, by the way, have you heard of the copper coin and silver demon?"

"Just heard from the dentist.

By the way, people from Jia's family came in the morning and said they were going to move out, so I went to the dental shop to find a craftsman to break through the courtyard wall. "

"If you are asked to deal with him, are you sure?"

"I can't hold it."

If the silver demon hadn't committed any crimes, Hu Qian wouldn't have given any hints, and since he doesn't have the magical power of foretelling, he is naturally difficult to deal with.

"That would be difficult."

"what happened?"

"The Copper Coin Silver Demon has a name in the Ministry of Punishment. Since he wrote about Jinling last time, the Ministry of Punishment immediately issued a document to ask Jinling to take him down."

"Why? Could it be that you couldn't hold him before, but you have to hold him when you arrive in Jinling?"

"Of course not, it's just that the body that says 'Jinling' was the Ministry of Criminal Justice's supervision of the imperial concubine, that's why it's so urgent.

Fortunately, the people in the Ministry of Punishment don't seem to have heard of your reputation, otherwise they would have to ask again. "

"That doesn't work either. I can try the review of the case. I'd better leave it to the Yamen to prevent problems before they happen."

In the afternoon, Ma Wu really came with four and a half girls.

In the yard behind the porter, Ma Wu shouted: "Stand in a row and show Mr. Hu a look.

This is the family of Tongzhi adults, so after coming in, he naturally eats a lot and wears a lot.

If you really choose to go, it is also your good fortune!

Hey, what about you, who are you showing your sad face to! "

Hu Qian frowned.

When Hu Jiu saw it, he immediately stepped forward and said, "What are you shouting here! This is the home of our Tongzhi master, not your dentist!"

Ma Wu bowed and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, take a look, these are all chosen by villains."

Hu Qian glanced at them, and found that the four maids all looked Zhou Zheng, and although their clothes were torn, they looked quite clean.

"I can't tell anything by looking at it. You should introduce it first, how old you are, where you are from, and what you can order."

Ma Wu nodded and bowed his waist and said: "Okay, look at this, she is 12 years old, the granddaughter of Old Man Li in the west of the city, she can work since she was a child, she can endure hardship, and her skin is also strong.

Look at this again, 15 years old, from Sunjiagou, everyone praises him for his needlework.

And this one, 16 years old, originally belonged to Mr. Zhao's family, because Mr. Zhao wanted to groom her after drinking, and his wife found out about her, so she sold her. She looks good, is hardworking, can sing, cooks Art has nothing to say.

The last one was escaped from other places when the iron whip was raging. She was 14 years old. She said she was the daughter of a wealthy family and could read and write. "

Hu Qian took a closer look, walked over again, looked into their eyes, and said, "All of you stretch out your hands and let me have a look."

The four girls are all motionless.

Ma Wu was in a hurry, and shouted: "I'm all deaf, so hurry up and stretch out your hand!"

Several people then slowly stretched out their hands.

As Ma Wu said, the hands of the first three girls were slightly rough, only the last hand was clean, as if it had never been used for work.

Hu Qian nodded, and said again: "Do you want to stay?"

Several people are silent.

After a while, all four of them said again: "I am willing to stay."

Hu Qian stood in front of the fourth maidservant and said, "Since you are a maidservant, you must know some crafts, but you can't do anything. What do I leave you for?"

Ma Wu nodded, and gave the girl a bitter look. The girl immediately trembled in fright, and knelt down in front of Hu Qian with a plop.

"Young master, please let me stay, I will definitely be beaten to death when I go back."

"What's your name?"

"I... my servant's name is Yingcai. I was originally the daughter of Guo Beiwei's family. Because my father was a gambler, I entrusted my servant to others. Later, my servant escaped quietly. I wanted to come to Jinling to join the Ma family. Who would have thought that the Ma family would be like that?" about..."
