Qin Shaoyou saw that the aunt was a little nervous, so he used [Smart Tongue] when asking questions.
Auntie is just an ordinary person, how can she resist Qin Shaoyou's flexible tongue?
I was impressed immediately.
Looking at Qin Shaoyou again, not only was he no longer nervous, but he also felt that he was very close to him, handsome and well-spoken. He was naturally very cooperative with his inquiries and told him everything he knew.
"I remember Lao Zhangtou said that they escaped from famine in Shaanzhou. In the past few years, there were severe droughts in Shaanzhou, and there were barbarians plundering and threshing the valleys... Alas, if they didn't really survive, If we don’t go down, who will take the risk and leave their hometown?”
When the aunt said this, she let out a long sigh.
Her daughter did not have such sorrows. When she heard that Lao Zhangtou was from Shaanzhou, she remembered an interesting thing and said hurriedly: "Yes, Grandpa Zhang is from Shaanzhou. What he said The accent is interesting.”
I also learned a few words along the way, such as "Er drops, forehead drops, all forehead drops", "Beauty drops are very beautiful", "I am a drop of god", and then laughed, maybe I thought it was unladylike to laugh like this, so I hurriedly Raise your hands and cover them with your sleeves.
Qin Shaoyou could only give a fake smile and praise: "Young girl is really good at studying."
The aunt's daughter was immediately very happy, and her eyes looked like crescent moons.
But the aunt sighed softly in her heart.
How could she not understand her daughter's thoughts? Just seeing this Lord Tiger, ah, no, it was Lord Qin, he was handsome and his tongue was flexible, and he fell in love.
To be honest, not only the daughter is tempted, but the aunt is also tempted.
After all, Qin Shaoyou is not only handsome, but also the chief flag officer of the Demon Suppression Department.
Although there are rumors in the market that the demon-suppressing division's warriors are evil and prone to short-lived lives, Qin Shaoyou is different. He is an official, not an ordinary strongman. In the eyes of many ordinary people, he is a handsome son-in-law.
If Qin Shaoyou came alone today, the aunt would be really shameless and ask him if he is married and whether he likes younger or older people.
But now...
She glanced at Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu who were standing beside Qin Shaoyou, and sighed secretly in her heart.
Su Jianqing looked like a little girl, so she didn't take it to heart.
But Su Tingyu could not compare to her daughter in terms of appearance or temperament.
Although Su Tingyu wore a Taoist robe, Taoist priests were divided into Quanzhen and Zhengyi sects, and the latter were able to get married.
Not to mention, some people are just fine with this, wearing filial piety clothes, monk clothes, official robes, etc...
So the aunt could only sigh in her heart that she missed it, and at the same time quietly pulled her daughter to stop her wishful thinking.
He also answered several other questions from Qin Shaoyou: "The relative that Lao Zhangtou is looking for is named Zhang Xingzu. He used to sell cooking cakes on the streets with a load, and the cooking cakes were delicious. Unfortunately, he died of illness five years ago. Oh, by the way, Zhang Xingzu was also from Shaanxi. More than ten years ago, the imperial court wanted to use troops against Qingtang and mobilized troops from Shaanzhou. Zhang Xingzu’s family was recruited as civilian husbands to help transport grain and utensils. Later, for some reason, the battle If we don’t fight anymore, Zhang Xingzu’s family simply won’t go back to Shaanzhou and just stay here and settle down..."
"How do you remember it so clearly?"
Su Jianqing, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but interrupt at this time.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at her and said to himself, "You have been living in Taoism for a long time. You don't know how powerful these aunts are. Whenever something happens to the neighbors, they can not only know it quickly, but also know it in detail."
After hearing Su Jianqing's question, the aunt did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou said: "Her problem is my problem."
The aunt's eyes suddenly flashed with the light of gossip.
In her opinion, Su Jianqing was just a six or seven-year-old girl, but Qin Shaoyou seemed to obey her words.
Ah, could it be that this is Mr. Qin’s daughter?
Can't you tell that he is so young and his daughter is already so old?
So the other woman next to him is his wife?
Don't tell me, the mother and daughter do look alike...
Auntie was gossiping in her heart.
Qin Shaoyou never imagined that he would not only be 'married', but also 'prepared to have a baby'.
Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu did not expect that their sister relationship would actually be transformed into mother and daughter.
They were all listening carefully to Auntie's explanation.
"Actually, more than ten years have passed since Zhang Xingzu's incident. Although the neighbors have some impressions, they don't remember it very clearly. It's just that after Lao Zhangtou and his granddaughter disappeared inexplicably, everyone reported it to the official, and the official came to inquire about the situation. Everyone Just a few words from you and me brought back memories of things that had happened many years ago."
"Inexplicably missing?"
Qin Shaoyou keenly captured a clue.
The aunt nodded and said: "Yes, I saw people the first day, but disappeared the next day. Isn't this an inexplicable disappearance? At that time, the county town had not started to be haunted by ghosts, otherwise we would all be suspicious. Were they eaten by demons?"
It seems that Lao Zhangtou is very cautious in doing things. Even the neighbors who live in the same yard with them don't know when they left or why.
But this also confirmed that they were indeed avoiding the Black Lotus Sect's search.
They knew that the Black Lotus Sect was searching for children in the city and was coming after them.
Otherwise there is no need to be so cautious.
Even Lao Zhangtou at that time had probably noticed that there were many undercover agents and followers of the Black Lotus Sect in Mianyuan County, so much so that he did not dare to leak anything to his neighbors.
After Qin Shaoyou figured this out, he asked again: "After you reported for the official position, what is the attitude of the official?"
At this moment, the aunt was completely fascinated by Qin Shaoyou's [smart tongue]. She forgot that he was also an official. She cursed and said: "What kind of attitude can you have? He just walked around the yard and left. When he left, he asked us I collected some money for tea.”
After a pause, the aunt continued: "But a few days later, another group of officials came, and this time they asked very detailed questions. They also searched Lao Zhangtou's home, but they didn't seem to find anything. Oh, by the way. , when they left, they also warned us that Lao Zhangtou was a spy and told us to inform them immediately as soon as we had any information. As a result, within a few months, these officials were arrested for colluding with the cult. "
It seemed that the first official who came was not from the Black Lotus Sect. They didn't pay too much attention to the missing people in the city.
After all, at that time, although there were no ghosts in the city, there were still ghosts and bandits outside the city, and there was also Zheng Tu... so it was nothing new for a number of people to go missing.
Later, the official was more or less related to the Black Lotus Sect, so he would investigate seriously.
Maybe they have found out that Lao Zhangtou's 'disappearance' is related to Liu Shuyuan.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou asked again: "Before Lao Zhangtou disappeared, was there an outsider who came to see him?"
The aunt nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing, and later officials also asked about it. The outsider who came to see Lao Zhangtou said he was his old friend."
"Do you know what that old friend came to see Lao Zhangtou for?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
"That's not clear." The aunt shook her head and added a sentence: "It should be to reminisce about the past, right? After all, it is a rare thing to meet an old friend in a foreign land. The two met at that time and closed the door to reminisce. We You can’t just go and eavesdrop, right?”
But at this moment, the aunt's daughter suddenly spoke and said something unexpected:
"I saw Grandpa Zhang's friend, kneeling down and kowtowing to him and Zhang Xiaoni..."
