When Yu Jingchi heard what Zhao Hai said, he was stunned. The thing Zhao Hai said really happened, and very few people knew about it. Even Ma Shan didn't know about it. Indeed There was such a woman, who was originally a maid in their family, and later became a couple with him. However, he was young at the time, and after finding out that his good maid was pregnant, he did not dare to tell anyone about it, so he gave it to her directly. Huan paid her a sum of money and sent her away. At that time, the maid cried so hard that she still let her leave. After the maid left, she didn't know where she went. He later inherited the family business and became Mr. Yu now almost forgot about this matter, but now that Zhao Hai mentioned it, he remembered it again.

When he thought of this, Yu Jingchi immediately said to Zhao Hai: "To be honest, sir, this happened indeed. That woman was a maid in my house. I was young and confused at the time. After I found out that she was pregnant, I I kicked him out of the house, and later after I took charge of the house, I also sent people to look for her, but she was never found, so I asked sir to give her some advice."

When Zhao Hai heard what he said, he said in a deep voice: "You should have gone to her home to look for her, but her family must have told you that she disappeared, but in fact she is in the village where their home is located, but The locals regard her as an unclean person, so if you search carefully around her house, you should be able to find her."

When Yu Jingchi heard what Zhao Hai said, he quickly responded. Zhao Hai waved his hand and asked Yu Jingchi to stand up. Then he said to Jingchi: "You and that maid's child are destined to me. I will take care of you in the future." He is a disciple, you have to remember this." Yu Jingchi responded, and Zhao Hai asked him to sit down.

Not long after Yu Jingchi sat down, the food and drinks were served. After everyone had eaten, Zhao Hai went back to the inn to rest. After they returned to the inn, Qian Yun and Wu Ding arrived. In Zhao Hai's room, Wu Ding said to Zhao Hai curiously: "Master, is what you said today true? Do you really have a master-disciple relationship with the child in Jingchi?"

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "There is indeed a trace of cause and effect, which is very strange. In fact, after I got here, all my causes and effects were all caused by you, but this time about this child, But I took the initiative to take it, so it’s very interesting.”

Upon hearing what Zhao Hai said, Qian Yun couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Master, do you want us to pay more attention to Yu Jingchi in the future? If his child is really born, he will be our little junior brother, and we will also Can you take care of me?" Qian Yun knew very well that they had to help Zhao Hai do this, after all, Zhao Hai seemed to be very concerned about this matter.

When Zhao Hai heard what he said, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "That's fine, you can just pay attention to this place in the future. As long as there is no danger and no need for too much care." Qian Yun responded, he has not yet Zhao Hai felt mysterious and mysterious, so he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Hai talked to them for a while and then asked them to go back to rest. The next morning, they got up and were about to go to the inn to have breakfast, but they didn't want Yu Jingchi to lead them in person and bring the breakfast to them. The breakfast was delivered, and the breakfast was also very rich. Yu Jingchi also prepared some food, all packed and delivered to Zhao Hai, and of course, there were some gold coins.

Zhao Hai accepted the food, but returned the gold coins to Yu Jingchi, and said to Jingchi: "There is no need for money. For me, money is actually of no use. You can go back, we are leaving today." No need to come see us off, go ahead." Yu Jingchi responded, took the money and left. He knew that Zhao Hai's status was much higher than his. If he was sending it off, he would probably offend Zhao Hai. If you are unhappy, it will only cause more trouble.

After having breakfast, Zhao Hai and the three of them left the town and walked to the next target under the watch of Ma Shan. They did not encounter anything along the way. After all, the Taoist world is very popular now. It was peaceful, there were no thieves or robbers, and there were very few ghosts, so they didn't encounter anything. They rested in a small town that night, but nothing happened. The next day, they Arrive at another target village.

Previous intelligence showed that this village is called Xiahe Village. If there is Xiahe Village, there will of course be Shanghe Village. This is indeed the case. This village is on the lower reaches of a river, and on the upper reaches of the river, not far from them. There is a village called Shanghe Village. The two villages are not far apart and can be reached by boat in an hour's walk. However, this time the accident occurred in Xiahe Village. Originally, both villages made a living by fishing and farming. , but people who go fishing in Xiahe Village often get into trouble recently, and more than a dozen people have died. After everyone dies, they will appear on the river again in a few days, but in his seven orifices There are aquatic plants everywhere, so there have been rumors in the village that there are water ghosts in the river, and then the matter was reported.

When Zhao Hai and the others arrived at Xiahe Village, they clearly felt that there was an uneasy atmosphere in the village. There were no children in the village, not even a few adults. Every adult had a sad look on their face. At the same time, there was a hint of panic. From this, it could be seen that something had indeed happened in the village and everyone was scared.

Zhao Hai looked at it for a while, then stopped a person, and then he said to the person: "This little brother, please tell me where the security chief of your village lives?" The security chief Zhao Hai asked about, actually It is the village chief. In fact, in a village like this, the general village chiefs are all prestigious old people in the village, because in a village like this, usually it is a big clan, and there are very few people with other surnames. Even if there is, there is nothing to say in this village. A village is usually composed of people with one or several surnames, and the village chief is usually a prestigious old man in the village. But like Mu Yonglin, he actually has no There is no way to pass orders directly to such a small village. In such a small village, the chief security officer is a local emperor.

The man was a young man in his twenties with dark skin. He also had a sad look on his face, with a hint of panic on his face. Now when he heard what Zhao Hai said and looked at the tall horse Zhao Hai was riding, There was a look of vigilance on his face, and he said to Zhao Hai: "Who are you? What business do you have with the security chief?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "We are people sent by Fucheng. I heard that there are water ghosts causing trouble in your village recently, so we came here to have a look." Zhao Hai has no intention of hiding his identity. The three of them are outsiders. , when they arrive in this village, if they don't identify themselves, they won't be able to ask anything. The best way is to cooperate with these local snakes.

When the young man heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help being stunned, but then he was overjoyed. He immediately clasped his fists at Zhao Hai and said: "Is this lord really from Fucheng? Great, this lord is coming soon." Please, no one in our village has dared to go down to the river to fish for half a month. If this continues, people in the village will starve to death." As he said this, he led Zhao Hai and the others towards the village. , and soon came to a courtyard.

This yard is the largest yard in the village, and the house is also the best in the village, but it is not much better than the houses of other villagers. They are all made of adobe, and the roofs are all covered with grass, and there is no visible patch. Wa, it can be seen that the livelihood of the people in this village is not very good, and they can only have enough food and clothing.

As soon as the young man arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he shouted into the courtyard: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, people are coming from Fucheng, and our village can be saved." As he spoke, he ran into the yard. Obviously, the security guard It should be this Uncle Li, and this village should be full of people with a common surname, but then the young man wouldn't be so excited.

Soon, a voice came from the room: "Ergu, what are you yelling about?" Following this voice, a man walked out of the room. This man looked to be about forty years old and had a tall figure. He is very strong, but it can be seen that he is not the kind of strong person who practices martial arts, but the kind of strong person who works all year round.

At this time, the young man named Er Gu had already run up to the man and said to him: "Uncle Li, there are people coming from Fucheng. They are here specifically for the matter of water ghosts. Look." After saying this, he walked towards the entrance of the courtyard. Pointing out, Zhao Hai and the others also entered the courtyard at this time, and the man Er Gu called Uncle Li also saw Zhao Hai and the others.

He quickly stepped forward, saluted Zhao Hai and said, "How many adults has Shen Li met? Are these adults from Fucheng?" When he said this, he was still a little excited, but he didn't notice it at all. With a suspicious look, it was obvious that he had never doubted Zhao Hai's identity. A poor village like theirs had no luck at all, so he did not doubt Zhao Hai's identity at all. He was just very happy that Fucheng finally sent People are coming.

Zhao Hai also raised his fist at Shen Li and said, "You must be the security chief of Xiahe Village, right? My name is Zhao Hai, and I am a minister of the County Sheriff's Mansion. This time I came here to deal with the water ghost issue in Xiahe Village. "Zhao Hai was not polite and directly revealed his identity. He felt that Shen Li might not know what official he was enshrining, but he should understand that as long as he came, he would be higher than his official, so Zhao Hai Of course, Hai didn't need to be polite to him.

As soon as Shen Li heard what Zhao Hai said, he immediately said: "Okay, great. Your Excellency is finally here. Our Xiahe Village is finally saved. Sir, please come and sit in the room. Please, please quickly." This is obviously A countryman wouldn't say too many polite words, he just kept letting Zhao Hai go into the house.

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and followed Shen Li into the room. The room was really big. As soon as he entered the door, there was a large guest room. It looked like a living room. There was a fire pit in the middle of the living room with a clay pot hanging on it. Look. It looks like it is used to boil water, and there are a few chairs placed beside the fire pit. It is obvious that the family usually eats and drinks here.

Then Shen Li let Zhao Hai to the edge of the fire pit, and immediately went to get a few pottery bowls, and poured three bowls of water for Zhao Hai and the others. There was no tea in the water. For people in the village, tea was absolutely It is considered a luxury product, but it is not something they can afford.
