next morning.

When Song You opened his eyes and got up, there were voices outside.

Pushing the door and going out, I saw Luo Butou standing in the bamboo grove, the door should be opened for him by Empress Sanhua, and while he was stroking the horse's mane, he was talking to the girl next to him. answer.

"Do you have horses at home?"

"I don't have a horse at home, but there are horses in the yamen, and I can get them when I need them."

"A lot?"

"Just talking about the county government, not many. However, there are many stage horses. If there is an urgent need, they can be used temporarily according to the situation."

"Would you like to have my horse?"

"this……"

Luo Butou faltered for a moment.

It seems that Empress Sanhua is quite familiar with him, which reminds Song You of the pet cats raised in some people's homes in the previous life. Lie there, not even moving.

Empress Sanhua is in a very good mood today.

Seeing Song You coming out, Luo Butou escaped from Mistress Sanhua's blinking eyes, and immediately turned to Song You, bowing his hands in salute:

"Mister is awake?"

"Early shift."

"I came here to report the good news to my husband this morning." Catcher Luo said, "I came down early and my husband hadn't gotten up yet, so I planned to wait until noon to report the news to my husband, but... Mr. Tong'er insisted I came in to look at the horse my husband bought, so I came in boldly and waited for my husband."

"It was given by someone else!"

Mistress Sanhua immediately corrected her words.

"oh?"

"It was a gift from Taoist friends of Fuqing Palace in Qingcheng Mountain. We have been friends for generations." Song You explained in a low voice, "It was only delivered last night. It is really hard to refuse, so I have to accept it brazenly."

"I see."

Luo Butou continued to look at the horse: "Beiyuan horse is a good horse, and this horse's pedigree is also good, but it seems to be short due to some congenital defects."

"Enough for us."

"Perhaps this horse can achieve enlightenment along with Mr."

"..."

Song You shook his head, knowing that people's boasting was mostly flattery, so he only asked him: "The team leader said good news, but the thief who stole yesterday caught him?"

"Thanks sir!"

Luo Butou just bowed his hands in thanks.

Thinking of it now, his face was full of red, and he was also secretly amazed.

The red face is half excited and half proud.

Yesterday's silver theft case had some similarities with the previous burglary case, that is, most of the thieves were wealthy families in the city, and the loss of money was a large number. This kind of case is not trivial, it would be good if it can be solved in three to five months in the usual time, and it may even become an unsolved case, but who would have thought that just that night, he would get all the stolen goods.

What is even more exciting is that these thieves will definitely not only commit crimes in Yidu. After an investigation, they may be able to solve similar thefts in Yangzhou, the capital city.

How much credit is this?

As for the surprise, we have to talk about the process of solving the case.

Last night, under the guidance of my husband, he led people into two groups, one to catch the charlatan, and the other to investigate nearby places where people could hide and accommodate people, and the two routes were expedited.

At this time, although the temple fair night market had not yet ended, the group had already packed up and prepared to run away.

Running in just one day is also cautious.

Seeing that all the arresters were about to rush to nothing, then a wonderful thing happened——

Thunder in winter, thunderbolt on a clear night!

He just killed that group of people.

As soon as Luo Butou arrived, he got all the stolen goods.

Now if we go to the temple market again, I am afraid that most people will be talking about what happened last night. Not only today, but tomorrow, even next year, after many years, there will probably still be legends circulating in this temple market that Yue Wang Shenjun sent down divine thunder to punish temple fair thieves.

But actually? Is this really the case?

Luo Butou doesn't think so.

This is the largest temple market in Yizhou. I don't know how many small thieves have been active in the temple market these days.

If it has nothing to do with Mr., he will not believe it.

It must have been after Mr. pointed him out, but also expected that the gang of thieves would leave, so he tried to stop him with lightning.

The magistrate asked him last night, and he said the same thing, until now he still clearly remembers the expressions of the magistrate and his staff at that time.

As shocked as I was earlier.

However, it is time to report to Mr.

Luo Butou still explained in detail, while he was talking, he quietly looked at the expression of his husband.

I saw that when my husband heard the winter thunder, a smile appeared on his face immediately, but there was a deep meaning hidden in that smile, but he couldn't understand it.

Just listen to Mr.

"Just catch it."

"Don't blame sir."

Luo Butou quickly lowered his head.

After a pause, he said again: "I still want to interrogate the gang of thieves, so I won't bother Mr. to wash up."

"Leader, walk slowly."

Song You turned around to wash up.

Later, I went to the bamboo forest to watch the horses. I saw that the horses were still calm, but they kept chewing. There was some alfalfa beside them, which was good fodder. It was presumably brought by Luo Tutou.

"Ah……"

Song You shook his head and stroked the horse with his hand.

"Do you want to go to the yamen's stables to stay for a while, or just stay here? The yamen has someone to take care of it, maybe it's better than me, but if you stay here, I won't belittle you.

"Okay, stay here then.

"..."

After breakfast, someone came looking for him again.

It was the two priests, Izumo and Yingfeng, who were invited by the priests of Fuqing Palace to visit the temple market together.

It happened that Song You also had something to buy, so he went with him.

So a group of real Taoist priests mixed with a fake Taoist priest and went to the streets near Yuewang Temple. Hearing the noise around him was chaotic, the faces of passers-by were full of excitement, desire to talk and desire for knowledge were written on their faces, as if they had just heard something extraordinary and wanted to hear it clearly, or had already heard it clearly, and couldn’t wait to hear it. speak out.

"what happens?"

A middle-aged priest said strangely.

The young Taoist priest has a more lively personality. When he sees people discussing together, he leans over to listen. When he comes back, he makes up the words.

"I heard that it is the manifestation of the gods."

"What did you say that the thunder struck the thief?"

"Said someone lost something..."

The middle-aged Taoist couldn't hear well, it was very annoying, but he just found a topic to talk to Song You: "Daoyou Song, have you heard about the ghosts in Yuewang Temple?"

Ben was just asking casually, but unexpectedly Song You nodded.

"Just heard about it this morning."

"Um?"

The Taoist priests immediately pricked up their ears.

"It's just that a group of thieves used strange means to steal here yesterday, and they were discovered by Yidu's arresters. The arresters came to arrest them. When the thieves were about to escape, the Yue Wang Shenjun appeared and struck them with lightning."

"really?"

"It shouldn't be fake."

"That's really a manifestation of the gods." The middle-aged Taoist said quickly, "We should go to the temple of the gods to burn incense."

"It should."

Song You also went to burn incense again.

It's just that the god is gone today.

Then continue to visit the temple market.

The Taoist priests wanted to buy some daily necessities for the temple. Of course, they only bought those that were not convenient to buy in the market town at the foot of the mountain. Song You bought a bell for the bay red horse, as well as things such as a small pot and coir raincoat that can be used for long-distance travel in the future.

By the way, accompany them to watch the trick again.

This group of Taoists went to visit friends and discuss Taoism yesterday. Today is the first time to visit the temple market. Even though they come every year, they only meet once a year. The young people are naturally very excited, and they are reluctant to leave when they stand outside the crowd. Fortunately, the elders of the teacher's sect are also patient, and often wait for them outside, or watch along with them.

Most of these quack tricks do have some skills.

It is a skill to be tempered and practiced, and so is the strange method.

All worth seeing.

Especially these strange methods, the Taoist chiefs are very excited.

But don't think that Taoist priests have built a Taoist temple, which looks more glamorous and formal, and they are higher than these tricksters who run the rivers and lakes.

There is no high or low in Qimen Taoism, and it is extremely rare. The skills passed down from generation to generation by these tricksters are not necessarily found in palaces and temples. Even if there is, most people spend their entire lives practicing one skill, and folk tricksters may not lose to Taoist monks in temples. In fact, if they can endure the purity and find a temple to practice, with this ability, it is not difficult to get a pass.

Only talent and hard work can make the difference.

And so on from morning till dusk.

When it was getting dark, today's temple market was different from yesterday, with many more dark tents. The tents are big and small. Someone collects money at the door, and you can enter after giving the money.

The older priests had seen it once or twice, but the young priests had never seen it at all. Thinking that the tickets were not expensive, they went in one by one to have a look.

In some tents there are some rare things, such as peacocks with pure black feathers, white and flawless leopards, giant Ganoderma lucidums that are said to have grown finely for thousands of years, and so on. Some of them are really eye-opening, while others are just relying on people's ignorance and cheating out of money.

There are often exclamations or complaints around me.

Some are all kinds of freaks, horror exhibitions.

Movable corpses, people with only the upper half of their bodies left, and even human pigs, grown-up deformed children.

Under the night, many people came to watch it together. It can be seen that they are both afraid and like this kind of horrific exhibition. The more afraid they are, the more they like it.

Izumo Michijo is a daughter, and she often feels frightened and covers her eyes. Although Daoist Ying Feng is a man, he often shows a look of impatience and wants to go out early.

The Taoist Priest Izumo didn't want to enter the tent at the back, and it happened that Song You didn't want Mistress Sanhua to see this, so he asked her to look after Mistress Sanhua outside.

But he was calm, watching and thinking deeply.

Not only to see the exhibition, but also to see the officials.

Observing human nature and thinking about people's hearts in this way, I also gain something faintly.

The final tent is an obscenity exhibition.

It only costs a few coppers to get in. I didn't know it before, but when I entered the tent, I found that there were naked women in the flickering candlelight.

Of course, there are not so many curvaceous curves and good looks, just to give the men who come here a look. Almost all of them were men. These people were either secretly peeking, or pointing in pairs with unbearable smiles. Some of them didn't know that they had made a mistake, but they just walked away quickly, and some of them were bold, and even reached out to touch them.

Seeing a group of Taoists coming in, there was a lot of ridicule.

"The Daoist also likes these?"

"Where is the Taoist priest practicing?"

"Lust is indeed a human nature, haha!"

The middle-aged Taoist priests were highly cultivated, and they only responded with a smile and ignored them.

The young priests blushed, lowered their heads and did not dare to look, regretting that they did not ask clearly before coming in, and just wanted to get out quickly.

Song You was still calm and kept his eyes on the officials.

This is how the times are, but it cannot be used to judge the good and evil dispositions of these judges. Whether their behavior is presumptuous or restrained, it can only reflect their recent personalities and thoughts.

If you ask who are these people?

A: Just mortals.
