The lonely moon hangs high, and the cold stars dot.

The night wind blew through the face like a knife.

Mantou Ding and his wife also fell asleep. They climbed over the wall and rushed up with a big yellow dog roaring.

Ba Meow turned around and gave it a tail fighting technique.

The big yellow dog wailed and retreated again.

Wang Qilin said quickly: "Do this dog."

Eight Meows chased the big yellow dog quickly. Tonight it was ordered to hit the dog, so it was not soft at all. Meow Meows fist one by one.

The big yellow dog was knelt down

Ba Miao: Let you also taste the feeling of kneeling down today!

The three of them entered the house, and General Xu and his wife woke them up.

The couple opened their eyes and saw three figures in the room. They were so scared that they hugged each other and wanted to shout.

Wang Qilin had quick eyes and quick hands, and one hand with a scabbard and the other hand with a scabbard was stuffed into the mouths of the two of them and blocked their screams.

Xie Hata shook her sleeves, and the oil lamp at the head of the bed lit up.

Wang Qilin was not polite and said bluntly: "You are telling lies in the evening, I want the truth now!"

The couple shook their heads in horror, and Mantou Ding shouted vaguely: "Master Wan is so fierce!"

Xu Da was stunned: "Are you a masochist? At this time, he actually said that the official is so fierce?"

Xie Hata said impatiently: "He said that the official is to spare your life, what are you going to make?"

Wang Qilin silently recited the sword technique, and no one took the sword to sheath out of thin air.

He said coldly: "I don't have time to talk nonsense to you. If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you two tonight. I am the Iron Guard of the Tingtian Supervisory. Killing you two is as simple as killing a chicken. No one will come to cause trouble for me, do you understand?"

The couple trembled.

Wang Qilin continued, "So I want your truth, but don't be afraid, I won't ask you to be any witnesses, so you told me the truth in private, no one will know, and no one will cause trouble for you in the future."

Mantou Ding said desperately: "Official, I, I, we, don't you? How dare Caomin lie to you?"

Under the sword technique, the sharp sword flew across.

The sword flew over to his scalp, shaved his head on the spot like a radio fader.

Wang Qilin said coldly: "Next time you lie, this sword will fly to your neck."

Ding was a woman after all, and she said to her husband in fear: "Just say it, you can say whatever you ask, we have nothing to hide from."

Mantou Ding trembled and opened his lips, and finally said dejectedly: "Master, please ask."

"How did Dingyouda disappear?"

Mantou Ding lowered his head and stuttered, "We sold it."

Ding was afraid that they would be angry, so he said in a crying voice: "Someone came to the door to call and wanted to take Dalang away. When we saw that the person who came to the door was not easy to mess with, we had to hand him over. In fact, we were very sad and we didn't want to give him."

"Stop talking nonsense," Wang Qilin said impatiently, "It was sold by the person you contacted? A fool is the most suitable for being a beggar, right? Dalang is also thin and he is the best at gaining people's sympathy as a beggar."

Mantou Ding shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, sir, our hearts are not so cruel. We can't do anything about selling Dalang. People in the village force us to drive him away, but we don't have distant relatives. Even if there are distant relatives, who would like to accept a fool's relative?"

"Why force you to drive him away?"

Mantou Ding was silent, but his wife shouted: "Because Dalang is friends with ghosts! He doesn't talk to people and ghosts after he is stupid! He always goes to a charity school, and he will be haunted as long as he goes to a charity school! This is true, so the villagers are afraid of him, and they don't even come to my house to buy steamed buns and big cakes, so we can't send him away!"

"Why are you haunted?"

Ding said excitedly: "We don't know, we didn't dare to go to see it. Anyway, he must have been haunted when he went to the charity school. The gentleman was scared away, and the schoolchildren in the village were so scared that they dared not go to school, so the people in the village forced us to drive him away!"

"Who was the one who bought Dalang?"

The couple shook their heads together.

"When did he buy Dalang?"

Mantou Ding thoughtfully said, "August, the ninth day of the eighth month, yes! It was the ninth day of the eighth month. At that time, I was going to deliver the big steamed buns offered to the village before the Mid-Autumn Festival. That day I delivered steamed buns to Zhaoyu Village. I remember that day was the ninth day of the lunar month!"

Wang Qilin quickly thought about it, is it a special day on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month?

The timeline quickly surged in his mind, and he thought of the most appropriate possibility: on the eighth day of the eighth month, the disappearance of the candidate broke out.

Xie Hama asked in a deep voice: "How stupid is Dalang?"

Speaking of this, Ding was really sad. He choked and said, "I was beaten stupid! Two years ago, Dalang was ten years old, and he had already shown his talent for studying. Then once the charity school gave him the county exam questions the previous year. After he wrote it, the husband was so happy that he said that Dalang's talent was the only one he saw in his life, and he would be able to become a high-ranking official in the future!"

"This story came out. When the villagers found out, they all came to curry favor with my family and praised Dalang. This made the young men in the village unhappy, so they captured him and beat him up. They were so cruel that Dalang was beaten into a coma for five days. In the end, although he survived, his brain was broken and turned into a fool!"

The more I talked about the steamed bun, the more sad and angry he became, and tears appeared in his eyes.

Originally, he could be rich by his husband, but once his son made a fortune, he would have a better life, and he didn't have to continue to work on steaming buns and selling big cakes.

Steaming buns is very tiring, because people will come to buy them in the morning, so the couple has to get up to knead the dough and burn the fire after the third day of the day.

It is said that there are three major difficulties in life: striking a boat and making tofu, but steaming buns is not much easier than these three.

Wang Qilin asked, "Your son, a child, was beaten to be a fool by a village child? Didn't you report this to the official? Is no one cared about it?"

Mantou Ding said with tears in his eyes: "My family is a Bai Ding, how dare he offend others? Besides, is it useful to report to an official? It's useless! Dalang is his fate, but his fate is miserable! Someone has come to calculate his fortune before, saying that he has a fortune, but his fate has many ups and downs, but his life is miserable!"

Wang Qilin asked, "Where are the young men who beat Dalang?"

Mantou Ding wiped his tears and shook his head and stopped talking.

Xie Hama asked, "Who has calculated Dalang's fortune?"

Mantou Ding said: "It's the famous immortal Zhou. He is very accurate in fortune telling!"

The three of them looked at each other subconsciously

Zhou Yu's figure appears again!

Wang Qilin asked again: "Why did you lie to us in the evening? Who told you to do this?"

The Mantou Ding and his wife swallowed hard and fell into panic.

Wang Qilin asked, "Is it your little seal, Jing Ming?"

Mantou Ding said, "No, it's not him, it's two people we don't know, but one of them is called the other one, the eldest brother."

"What do they look like?"

"They came last night, covered their faces and held short guns. They could only see their backs straight. After coming in, they forced us to write down these words and said that if they dared to say anything, they would kill us."

Hearing the words "Short Gun" and "Straight Back" and along with the senior brother in front, Wang Qilin suddenly remembered Wu Baoan, the senior brother of Tianwumen whom he had seen at the gate of Yuning County Post Office!

He was thinking, but Mantou Ding suddenly patted his forehead:

"Ah, when I saw their backs, I felt a little familiar, but I don't know when I saw them. Now I think that senior brother looks very similar to the masked man who asked me to buy Dalang. He is tall, back, and walking, and looks very similar!"

Xu Da whispered from behind: "Is it really Wu's trouble?"

Wang Qilin frowned.

He always feels something is wrong.

But many clues pointed to Wu's family again.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Da was puzzled: "Master Qi, you don't seem to be willing to admit that Wu's faction is making trouble in this matter? Why? You have a good impression of Wu's?"

Mantou Ding already understood their purpose, and he stumbled: "Who is willing to be an enemy of Wu in Pingyang Mansion?"

Xu Da snorted disdainfully: "You just don't understand my seventh master!"

Wang Qilin scratched his neck and said, "I'm not that I have a good impression of them, but I just can't figure out a lot of things. The most obvious point is that if Wu did this and Wu bought Dalang, then they naturally knew Dalang's secret. Why would he give him to us in this way, right?"

Xu Da guessed: "Maybe Wu Jingzhan didn't expect you to send him home in person? He originally just wanted to cause some trouble for our Tingtianjian?"

Xie Hama nodded and said, "Mr. Xu's words make sense. If Wu and the scholar's disappearance case are closely related, they naturally don't want us to investigate, so it makes sense to cause some trouble for us, right?"

"Yes, I have the same meaning as Dao Master," Xu Da continued, "Originally, Wu Jingzhan thought that the identity of a stupid boy could not be found, but he didn't expect that we would find his hometown by chance. This can also explain why someone would intercept us on the way and want to kill Dalang, because Wu did not expect that we would follow the clues and find Daliu Shu Township."

Wang Qilin waved his hand and said, "No, Mr. Xu, if the mastermind behind this matter is Wu, then they will hand over Dalang to us and will definitely observe our progress in secret. In this way, we should encounter trouble if we leave the city on the first day."

"But in fact, we encountered trouble the next day. Why? The one who really wanted to stop us was not the Wu family, but the other force! This force was not as well-informed as the Wu family, so they found out that we were one day late to return to Daliushu Township with Daluo Township!"

"Yes, there are third-party forces inside!" Wang Qilin suddenly figured out this.

The wisdom of mortals.

He shook his head secretly. He was not a smart person after all, and in fact he should have thought of this a long time ago.

After discovering the third party, Wang Qilin's thoughts suddenly opened: "What Erli Township? This place may be a trap, or something strange? Someone wants to lead us from Daliu Shu Township to that Erli Township!"

"Think about it, no matter whether it is the Wu family or any force, they must be a mature force. They should act very carefully and carefully. As long as the people who attack us on the road are alone, they will melt themselves into blood. What a terrible force is this?"

"A such a terrible force has accidentally revealed the information of Erli Township again and again? They are trying to mislead us and let us go to Erli Township! The truth must be in this Daliu Shu Township!"

But he immediately fell into confusion: "But what did the third party forces do in Daliushu Township? Why are they afraid that we will bring a stupid boy back? Why do we have to kill Dalang? He is already a fool, and he can't say anything!"

"So, is the other party afraid that he will do what he will do after coming to this Daliu Shu Township?"

Wang Qilin quickly reacted and asked, "Where is Dalang?"
