Daming King of Punishment

Page 387

Qin Ke sighed like this, but it didn't dispel Song Wuya's suspicion of him.

"Since Mr. Qin doesn't have much salary, why bother to spend so much? Why don't you ask the waiter in the shop to return the food in the back. If Mr. Qin is really kind enough to thank us, you can just find a small restaurant, and there is no need to waste it!" Song Wuya frowned and said to Qin Ke.

"Hey!" Qin Ke stopped Song Wuya, raised his hand and patted his chest lightly, and said with a reassuring expression: "I won't bother Mr. Song with this. The salary in this county is not much, but you don't need to eat here. It costs money!"

Seeing the suspicious look on the faces of Qin Ke and Bai Zhuo, Qin Ke quickly explained: "But please rest assured! This county is doing well, and this county has always refused to accept other people's money. Although the county is focused on promotion, the purpose is to become a high-ranking official so that I can talk to the emperor. This will not be in vain for the sufferings of the people in this county! Naturally, there are many customers in this restaurant. , and they are all dignitaries, it is a comfortable place, and many people are staring at it! The shopkeeper of this restaurant is an old acquaintance with the county, relying on the county to help with some trivial matters, that's why today's free meal Meals. Do the two young masters think that this county has received money from others, which is why they are so rich?"

Although he didn't know if this was true or not, Qin Ke's words made Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo heave a sigh of relief.

Since ancient times, people's hearts have been separated from each other, and it is difficult to say who is like.Now at least Qin Ke hasn't shown that kind of greed, but he may not be that kind of person.

The waiter in the shop delivered another dish, which broke the embarrassment after Qin Ke's words.

"Second brother, please help us arrange it as soon as possible. We don't know how to move our chopsticks when you mention these dishes!" Qin Ke said politely to the waiter in the shop.

The shop waiter responded, turned and left.

At this time, Qin Ke picked up the chopsticks and greeted everyone: "Everyone eat first! You must be hungry too!"

Speaking of this, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo also felt hungry.Qin Ke motioned for everyone to eat, and then poured some wine for them.

"Because there are female family members here, the county specially ordered some rice wine, and the two girls might as well drink some." Qin Ke poured out the muddy wine for several people, and introduced: "This is the famous rice wine nearby, sweet and delicious , It’s absolutely fine to drink ten or eight cups.”

Song Wuya picked it up and took a sip. It was really good rice wine, as Qin Ke said, with a sweet taste.

"Hmm! Good wine!" Bai Zhuo couldn't help but praised: "I'm used to drinking baijiu on weekdays, this rice wine really feels fresh! It tastes good, Miss Situ and Xiaohuan, you should drink some too, it's like sugar water delicious."

After listening to Bai Zhuo's words, Situ Wen and Xiaohuan tasted a little bit tentatively, they obviously thought it was good, and continued to drink a few more sips.

At this moment, seeing Song Wuya put down his wine glass, Qin Ke's face suddenly became serious, staring at Song Wuya: "Mr. Song, I don't know if you believe in monsters?"

Originally, Qin Ke asked Song Wuya about this matter, but Bai Zhuo jumped ahead of Song Wuya and laughed loudly: "Master Qin, you are asking the right person! Don't call it a monster! This ghost We don’t know how many kinds we’ve seen, they’re all kinds of things, but in the end, it’s not human beings who make trouble? I think the monster you mentioned is probably caused by someone!”

What Bai Zhuo said was right, there were indeed many ghosts and ghosts in their previous experiences.In the end, they found evidence through various clues and caught those who pretended to be ghosts.

But these words were indeed generalized, Song Wuya saw that Qin Ke didn't look like he was joking, and immediately asked seriously: "Master Qin, if you have something to say, just say it, I don't believe this monster. "

Song Wuya didn't know what Qin Ke meant, since he mentioned this monster, it must be something mysterious.And looking at the serious look on Qin Ke's face, it is enough to show that this matter is not just a word of chatting after dinner.

Qin Ke nodded and said: "Not far from here, there is a big city Nankai along the river, and the two river counties are within its jurisdiction. Nankai City Zhizhou is at the same time as this county, and it is also an old acquaintance. This matter is still in this county. What I heard from him is also a case that happened recently. Speaking of it, before you came, he wrote to the county to complain, saying that he had encountered trouble."

"Oh? In that case, someone died?" Song Wuya felt that it was not a good thing when he heard that the monster had led to the case.

Qin Ke nodded emphatically: "Many died, and it was shocking."

Song Wuya immediately frowned, "Then what does Lord Qin mean?"

"Let's just talk about it in this county. In fact, this county intends to ask Mr. Song to help this colleague in this county." Qin Ke explained his intention.

Song Wuya didn't directly nod his head in agreement, but since he knew about this matter, he naturally couldn't ignore it.On the way from Xiaoshan to Songqian, near Songjiang, they encountered their first case.That case was also horrible, and what was said in it was a beast, but in the end it led to the killer secretly trained by Wuliangjiao.

Although this case is only heard now, it reminded Song Wuya of that case, and the two cases coincided with each other.Recently, Wuliangjiao has faded out of their sight. Song Wuya really wants to find clues again. Perhaps this case is related to Wuliangjiao, and it may be related to the killer.

"Master Qin, with my status, I'm afraid I won't be welcomed!" Song Wuya felt that it was necessary to take a look, but he felt that it was not appropriate.

But Qin Ke obviously had already thought of this point, he immediately took out a letter from his sleeve, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Song Wuya.

"This county has already revised a letter. As long as Mr. Song is willing, you can take this letter with you. With the recommendation of this county, the prefect of Nankai will definitely let Mr. Song cooperate to solve the case." Qin Ke said very confidently, It seemed that after he recommended it, his fellow subject might not necessarily listen to him and ask Song Wuya to assist.

Song Wuya nodded: "Since Lord Qin has said so, and I'm about to go down the river, we might as well go to see and see, maybe we can add a good story to our novel."

Song Wuya's words agreed to this matter, Qin Ke said with a slight sigh of relief: "Mr. Song, this county is still worried that Mr. Song will not help you! Now, this county can rest assured. My colleague The name of the department is Han Jin. He is at a loss for this case and is hoping for help from the county. When it comes to Mr. Song and Mr. Bai, it can be said that the heavens are helping each other!"

"Lord Qin is absurd, we are just taking advantage of the number of people." Song Wuya said modestly.

Qin Ke didn't say anything more. Obviously, the main purpose of today's meal was just like this. Now that this task has been completed, it's easy to talk about other things. He didn't even say anything more about this monster.

?4 Chapter Nineteen Mountain God Tribute

Because Qin Ke, the magistrate of Liangjiang County, agreed to go to Nankai City to solve the monster case, after Song Wuya and the others left Liangjiang County, they went down the river and went straight to Nankai City.

"It's finally here!" Bai Zhuo said excitedly as he stood at the bow of the boat and looked forward, seeing a city in the distance.

They spent more than half a day on this bed. Although the river was not in a hurry, the small boat was still rickety, which caused the four of them to suffer a lot. At this moment, they were dizzy and wanted to get off the boat a long time ago.

Situ Wen showed a tired face, her face became inexplicably paler, but Bai Zhuo's happy news made her unable to laugh.

"It's been more than half a day, and I haven't eaten a bite. If I knew it earlier, I might not be able to go anywhere slowly by land!"

Hearing Situ Wen's complaints, the boatman in front of the boat smiled and said, "Miss, you are wrong. If you change to land, let alone the evening, even tomorrow morning, you may not be able to come to Nankai." city."

"Why is that? After passing the mountain, the terrain is flat. Could it be possible to make a detour?" Situ Wen frowned, puzzled by the boatman's words.

The boatman said indifferently: "There is still a county between these two Jiang counties and Nankai city! If we used to set off early, we could indeed arrive at Nankai city in the evening. But it is not possible now!"

"Did something happen along the way?"

The boatman's words also caught Song Wuya's attention. The purpose of their coming to Nankai City was for the monster Qin Ke mentioned.As the boatman said, what happened on the land made Song Wuya feel that it might have something to do with it.

"Isn't it? Otherwise, the original journey wouldn't have to be delayed for so long." The boatman didn't seem too helpless when he talked about this matter, on the contrary, he seemed to have some joy in it, after all, what happened on land After solving such a problem, many people would choose to take the water route, which would also increase his income a lot.

"What exactly happened?" Song Wuya wanted to confirm whether this was what Qin Ke said.

The answer is yes, the boatman's next words verified Song Wuya's guess: "Those businessmen from other places who passed by must have bumped into the mountain god, otherwise the mountain god wouldn't have sent divine beasts down to punish those people!"

It was certain that what the boatman said was exactly what Song Wuya and the others were going to investigate.It's just that from the mouth of the boatman, there is still some difference in this matter. What Qin Ke said was a monster, became a beast to him, and he also believed that it was the mountain god who was responsible for punishing those who passed away. foreign business trips.

"Mountain god? Why is there something about the mountain god here?" Bai Zhuo sat down on the bow of the boat, and interjected after listening to the boss of the boat.

"Mountain God! Where there are mountains, there will naturally be mountain gods!" The boatman said seriously: "Just like here, there are river gods and dragon kings in our passing rivers. I can warn you guys, don't be ignorant. Believe me, you must not speak ill of the River God and the Dragon King here. At that time, don’t say whether the River God and the Dragon King blame you, even I will not spare you lightly! Although I can’t do anything to you, I Just leave you on the shore! Otherwise, when the River God and the Dragon King take their anger out on you, I will be implicated as well."

After saying this, the boatman stopped the oars in his hands, knelt down on the bow of the boat, knelt down devoutly to the river ahead, kowtowed three times, and murmured some words, but he didn't know what he meant. What.Song Wuya reckoned that the boatman must have explained to the River God and Dragon King what he said just now.

"Okay, okay! We are not the kind of people who just look for trouble, we must be in awe of this god. What I said just now was just out of curiosity, and there is really no other meaning." Seeing that the boatman did not mean to be joking at all, Bai Zhuo hurriedly Also explained a sentence.

The boatman didn't mean to blame Bai Zhuo, he started to slide the oars again so as to control the boat to go down the river smoothly.

"I don't know what's going on. Anyway, the place where the accident happened is a forest." The boatman didn't seem to know much about this matter, so he shook his head and didn't give any other explanations.

Bai Zhuo was helpless, everyone had already said so, if he continued to pester him, he would be a bit of a bore.

Soon, the boat stopped on the shore, and Nankai City was not far away.After paying the money for the boat, several people went directly to the gate of the city after disembarking.

There were very few people at the gate of the city, perhaps it was because of this monster.

"Brother Wu Ya, it seems that this matter is really not small. Look at such a big place, there are not as many people entering the city as there are in a small place like Liangjiang County." Bai Zhuo looked at the city gate from a distance and said helplessly.
