Wang Qilin exited the yamen and said: "This matter may have something to do with us. Earlier, the Zhu family's wife wanted to commit suicide by hitting a pillar, but she was stopped by a strange light group. It was probably Zhang Zeng's doing. It seems that he knows magic.

."

Xu Dadao: "I am a popular person in front of the prefect, so what's so strange about knowing magic?"

Wang Qilin wanted to speak again, but Xu Da winked at him and said, "The Li family are not good people, and Li Ying is especially hateful, right?"

"right."

"Then no matter what happens, is it a good thing for us that he is sent to prison?"

"It's a good thing," Wang Qilin hesitated: "On the surface, it seems to be a good thing, but upon closer inspection, it may not be a good thing. This thing is a bit weird."

If it has to do with magic and officialdom, it has to do with Tingtianjian. Once something happens, he can't run away.

Xu Dadao: "Whatever, are you afraid that it will have something to do with us? Then let's leave Jixiang County for the time being and let their yamen mess up on their own."

When he said this, Wang Qilin immediately reacted: "Should we find a suitable reason to leave Jixiang County?"

"right!"

"Isn't this a very appropriate reason to go to Yongshui County to find Dou Dachun's whereabouts?"

"Of course it's appropriate. We must find Dou Dachun. This is the entrustment of the Dou family. If we want to arrest Hou Decai, we have to rely on the connections and power of the government officials. But Dou Dachun is not here, and the government officials have no one to take care of things. We don't give orders."

"What Mr. Xu said is true, and we have to go to Xiaoshui Township to investigate the secrets of the Qin and Jin tribulations."

"We must investigate. Xiang Wei is so scared that he is about to hang himself. If we don't solve this matter, I'm afraid he will be scared to death."

The two of them said something to each other, and then looked at each other:

It must be a special fate that makes us the same.

It had been more than half a month since news of Dou Dachun had been lost. The entire Dou family was in chaos, and more than fifty servants were sent to look for him.

Wang Qilin came to investigate for clues, and Xu Da went to Xiaoshui Township to summon Xie Toad. They had to go to Yongshui County.

But the Dou Mansion has no clues. The last letter Dou Dachun sent was twelve days ago. The letter said that everything was fine and he even had time to listen to the song...

Xu Da, who rushed back with Xie Toad, saw the letter and said suspiciously: "Is he really looking for news about Zhou Zhongsheng to gain your favor? Why do I feel that he went out for a spring outing to get rid of the mess in Jixiang County?"

Xie Toad flicked his sleeves and said, "What season is it already? Are you still going for a spring outing?"

Wang Qilin helped explain: "The spring outing he mentioned is a verb, not a noun."

Xu Da gave him a look: The understanding is getting better and better, Master Qi, it seems that we are a natural partner.

Wang Qilin gave him a look back: There is no better understanding, but now I know how to understand your grandson's words.

Knowing that they were willing to go out in person to find Dou Dachun, Dou Yulai, the head of the Dou family, was very happy. Not only did he prepare a good horse for the three of them, he also prepared a payment for them: one hundred gold baht!

What does it mean to be wealthy?

That’s it!

The proportion of gold is very heavy. When Dou Guangnian, the steward of the Dou Mansion, came out with a plate of gold baht, Wang Qilin's eyes widened.

The charm of gold is greater than that of women!

Women can only attract men, but gold can also attract women.

He was very moved, but he still refused righteously: "We are looking for Mr. Dou for official business, and we will never accept your money."

Dou Yulai clasped her fists in emotion and said, "Dou once heard Quanzi introduce Mr. Wang to Yi Bo Yuntian, who is full of righteousness. When we meet him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!"

Leading the horses, the three of them went up the official road and headed straight for Yongshui County.

The two counties are close to each other, so the journey is not too far. They entered Yongshui County before sunset.

In order to find Dou Dachun, the Dou family spent a lot of effort. They arranged for clever domestic slaves to go out to search, hired merchants to inquire about information, used their connections in the Yongshui County Yamen, and opened a large network in and outside the county.

.

The Dou family also set up a tracing command post, and the person in charge was Dou Jinlai, who was Dou Dachun's second uncle and the person in charge of the Dou family's business in Yongshui County.

The three of them rushed to the command post, and there was already a big man who looked similar to Dou Yulai waiting for them: "Dou Jinlai has met three adults. You three have worked hard all the way. Please take a drink of water and rest."

The three of them dismounted, and immediately a dashing girl gave them a water bag.

Wang Qilin thought it was a little strange. Dou was a big businessman and he should be very polite when receiving guests. So why not treat guests with tea but with water bags? This kind of rule is common in rough grasslands and Mobei, but not common in the Central Plains.

However, they were hot and thirsty all the way, and it was indeed more enjoyable to drink water from the water bag.

In addition, he still had a question: "How did Shopkeeper Dou know that we were coming?"

The three of them were speeding along, and no one should deliver the news in front of them.

As a result, Dou Jinlai pointed to the roof, and a peregrine falcon stood proudly on the roof, looking left and right, with a leering attitude.

The last thing Ba Meow saw was that he was dressed like a bird or an animal. He came out and stared at the peregrine falcon maliciously, preparing to play with the birds.

Wang Qilin stuffed it back and praised: "As expected of the Jixiang Dou family, he was able to tame a raptor into a messenger bird."

Dou Jinlai held up his hands with a smile and said: "How can we, the Dou family, have such ability? This is the messenger kite my brother purchased from Huai Yao Pavilion for a large sum of money. It was it that sent your letter."

Wang Qilin asked: "Did Master Dou also send him the letter home?"

Dou Jinlai shook his head: "No, the messenger kite only delivers important and urgent news. Dachun's letter was brought back by the grain transporter."

Wang Qilin drank water while thinking about it, but when he opened the stopper and took a sip, no water came out. The water bag was blocked.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, the gag is probably broken." Dou Lancao apologized quickly and gave him another water bag.

The water in the bag was cool, sweet and delicious. He drank sip after sip.

After Xu Da drank, he praised the heroic girl: "The girl has a beautiful smile and the water she brought is also sweet."

Xie Toad was disdainful: "You bitch, it's because they sent me ice-cold honey water."

Dou Jinlai laughed. He pointed at the girl behind him and said, "This is my eldest daughter Lancao, Lancao. I haven't seen the three adults since I came here."

Dou Lancao stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists. She was tall and handsome, with a cloak hanging on her shoulders. The cloak rustled loudly when she moved her hands and feet. It turned out that the door was inlaid with iron plates.

Dou Jinlai introduced: "I, Mrs. Dou, are in the rice and grain business and often have to go out to transport grain, so I need the protection of the escort team. Lan Cao is the leader of the escort team in Yongshui County. She is used to living in the open and sleeping in the open, waiting for the day to come.

He also wears thin armor at ordinary times, which makes the adults laugh."

Seeing this, Wang Qilin understood. No wonder people drank water from water bags. It turned out to be a habit in the wild all year round.

Xu Da returned the favor with admiration and said: "Who dares to laugh at Commander Dou who is a man of all stripes? If my daughter's family in the New Han Dynasty had such ambition and ability, why worry about the uneven border and the unification of the four seas?"

These words made Dou Lancao feel happy. A smile appeared on her face and she said: "Your Excellency, you are too complimentary."

Xu Dadao: "How could there be? I just spoke what was on my mind, and you can see that Xu is a rough man who only speaks what is on his mind..."

Wang Qilin pushed him aside and said, "Get out of here. Are you planning to pick up girls?"

He asked Dou Jinlai about the news about Dou Dachun. Dou Jinlai sighed sadly: "Dachun never came to see me, and all the letters from home were sent by someone else. This time he came to Yongshui County in a hurry and went directly to Yongshui County.

Yiwangxiang said he was going to Yiwang Temple to find someone. But I sent someone to Yiwang Temple early to ask, and both the villagers and the master at the temple said they had never seen him."

Yunzhou Prefecture, where Jixiang County and Yongshui County are located, has few plains and many mountains. Among them, Jixiang County has a better terrain, mainly hills, but Yongshui County is different. The Yunlong Mountains rise from its territory, all the way

To the west, there are vast mountains and countless mountains.

There are many ancient temples in the deep mountains, so Yongshui County has the most temples in Yunzhou Prefecture. There are ten temples that can be named, so Yongshui County is also known as the Ten Temple City.
