Chapter Ninety-Five: Investigation
"Come like thunder to retract anger, like the river and sea condensing the light. What a wine! Liu Yu drank the amber liquid in the cup, licked his lips unsatisfied, and praised sincerely.
"Flutter!" The little maid on the side was amused by his nonsensical compliment, and then knew that she was rude, and quickly covered her mouth with her sleeve. Looking at the girl holding the pipa in her hand, it is not embarrassing not to play it, and the wonderful expression on her face that she can't help but talk about this Taishou in her heart.
The girl's piano sound is usually worth a thousand gold, and the pipa is never light, but today I finally came to the interest, but I played it to the cow. If you don't understand, you don't understand, but you still talk nonsense, so you can't be angry.
To be honest, Liu Yu can still come up with these two ancient poems that have been played at a super level, he only remembers that this is a description of a certain skill, but he forgot that this is not Bai Letian's "Pipa Xing", but Du Gongbu's "Guan Gongsun Lady Dancing Sword Weapon Xing", and felt that he said it casually.
Seeing that there was suddenly no sound in the room, Liu Yu looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, and sat there with a look of resentment, did he say the wrong thing again?
"Don't play, anyway, in the eyes of Taishou, the slave's clumsy skills are not as good as the bad wine, and they can't get into the ears of Taishou. Do you like to watch the sword dance?,The lady next door is the best at this skill.,Do you want to enslave someone to invite it? Gu Xixi said with an annoyed face, pretending to send the maidservant out of the house.
"Don't worry, everyone, it's all the official's, isn't it, the sword, alas, it's confused, I read too little, and I asked everyone to see the joke, it's really not intentional. Come on, come on, this official and everyone will be guilty, please. Liu Yu reacted at this time, this is not to praise the pipa, and poured a glass of wine and raised it.
It's just that Liu Yu really has no interest in the pipa music, and he can't understand or appreciate it. Since the beauties were invited, it was not easy to refuse, and there was nothing to do at the city gate, so I went on such a trip.
This is still Liu Yu entered Jiankang City, the first time he came back to the famous Qinhuai River, he was indeed a little curious, not really had any thoughts about this girl, and after coming in, it was either poetry or qufu, he was a little overwhelmed, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he was a little nervous.
I don't know if it's because of the wine or some other reason, Gu Xixi's face is a little red, I originally thought that this Taishou was a literati and elegant guest, even if he was not proficient in these things, at least he knew how to appreciate them, who knew that this person would either bury his head in drinking, or interject and talk nonsense.
"Anyway, Taishou doesn't want to stay longer, and the folk girls don't dare to force them to stay, but the score of the song I said last time, can you give me advice." Seeing that Liu Yu was frequently distracted, Gu Xixi had to hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart and tell the matter.
Now it was Liu Yu's turn to wonder, he knew what the song Gu Xixi was talking about, but where could he go to find the ancient score of the song, besides, after listening to this girl's playing, the tune was almost the same. There's really no way to say anything else, she can't go find some Western instruments to throw at her, and then she won't be annoyed to death.
"Forgive me, this song is made by others, so I didn't hand over the score to you last time, and then allow this official some time, and let the girl get her wish, and if there is something else, I will leave first, and I want to thank you for your hospitality today." After speaking, Liu Yu wanted to go out as soon as he gave up his hand.
"Living in a humble room, too shou does not dislike it, and the people's women's football team is warm, but I didn't expect it to be too shou and didn't like these, there are many abruptness, and I hope to forgive me." Gu Xiying made a salute and said leisurely behind his back.
"Everyone is serious, the national crisis is at the head, and the people are not happy, and the officials are really not interested in listening to these beautiful voices. Women's poetry may not be bad There is one in this dynasty, and his sentences have won my heart, but it is a pity that there are too few. Liu Yu turned his head to look at the woman in front of him, the young woman who only emphasized poetry and rhythm was too tired to intersect, and no matter how beautiful he was, he could only stay away.
"Dare to ask which one it is, and if you can teach me." Gu Xixi raised his eyes and asked reluctantly, with a hint of stubbornness in his pretty eyes.
"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost. Farewell, the girl stayed. After Liu Yu finished speaking, he turned around and opened the Hunan curtain and went downstairs. Gu Xixi was stunned for a while, and the maidservant walked in with a strange look with a plate, but found that there was only one person left in the room.
I drank a few glasses of fruit wine, although it was quite smooth at the time, but I walked by the river when I went out of the courtyard gate, and when I was blown by the river breeze, I had some stamina. Liu Yu laughed secretly in his heart, what a waste, if you stay for a while, there may be a beautiful plot that I have to say with so-and-so to stage it.
The secret investigation of Zhang Dutong's murder in the city has been going on for several days, and after the testimony of eyewitnesses, it was indeed a person dressed as a volunteer who approached him at that time, but no one recognized who he was for a while, but in this way, the scope of the investigation was much narrower.
On that day, there were only more than 2,000 volunteers who were transferred to the North Gate to standby, and because they did not directly participate in the battle, there were few casualties. According to the map, Suo Ji immediately circled several targets, two of them were injured by the stray arrow, and the injured ones were already dead, and both of them were injured under the city, and they had nothing to do with the battle of the city tower.
Only one person from Huangchi Township, Dangtu County, Taiping Prefecture, was very suspicious, and this person had disappeared and was not found among the remains of all the war dead. After the people who knew him described his physiognomy and body shape, and after careful comparison with the descriptions of the witnesses on that day, it was almost certain that this person was the murderer.
Liu Yu did not make people want to paint, the murderer is likely to have fled to the Tartar camp, so there is little point in doing so, the most important thing now is to find out his accomplices, in case similar incidents happen again. As a result of this incident, all senior officers, regardless of whether they are forbidden troops or village soldiers, have been issued with new armor according to the system, thus improving their protective capabilities.
In order to prevent omissions, all the volunteers who are registered in Dangtu County, Taiping Prefecture have been investigated, aside from those who have families and mouths, single men have become the key targets, Liu Yu's trip, in addition to going to sit there, also want to find Chen Xiaoyi on the way, to see how he did what he ordered.
On the upper floor of the Yanju on the South Middle Street of Jiankang City, the window of the single room on the second floor is pushed out, and the scenery of the Qinhuai River is in full view.
Chen Xiaoyi came quickly, Liu Yu was just about to stuff a piece of dim sum into his mouth, there was a knock on the wooden door of the private room, a personal soldier opened the door and brought him in, Liu Yu took the time to look at him, it was still the outfit of a rich and noble officer, and he couldn't help but be Wan'er.
"Xiaomin knows that he is fierce to each other, and he doesn't look like an official when he wears a brocade robe, and it's also fun to be able to make his parents smile." Chen Xiaoyi sang a promise and said respectfully. Liu Yu didn't believe it, such a low-level person has his own ruthlessness, don't look at it, it will be pleasing to the eye, it is afraid of the national power behind Liu Yu.
"Okay, I'm calling you to ask how it went." Liu Yu asked him to move a round stool for him to sit down, threw the piece of dim sum into his mouth, and said lightly while chewing it carefully.
"After the parents ordered it that day, Xiaomin selected a group of people at that time, all of them were active people, and they have been mixed into the righteousness and courage in the past few days, which should be considered smooth, and it is expected that after some time, there will be clues."
"You didn't tell them the truth, did you?" After listening to Chen Xiaoyi's words, Liu Yu nodded, he asked Chen Xiaoyi to find these people not just for surveillance.
"No, no, my parents can rest assured, Xiaomin just asked them to join the volunteers first, make more friends with all kinds of people, etc., and did not disclose what they did." Chen Xiaoyi waved his hand again and again, and explained busily.
"That's good, there are some names in here, you take them, tell your people to pay more attention to them, you can be friendly with them, but pay attention to the whereabouts of these people, if there is any change, you come to see the official in person, understand?"
Liu Yu took out a piece of paper, which recorded several key investigation objects, in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, he had ordered to stop the investigation on the surface, and let these people under Chen Xiaoyi secretly monitor.
"Another point, it's best to let those people take the initiative to recruit your subordinates, what exactly should be done, you can grasp it yourself, you can get into the current situation, this kind of thing will not be unknown."
Seeing Chen Xiaoyi put the paper in his arms, Liu Yu told his plan and pulled out the spy and killed it, which is not the best way, if it can be used, it may be better.
The two discussed, Chen Xiaoyi saw that Liu Yu had nothing else to do, so he got up and said goodbye very much, Liu Yu did not stay, waved his hand and let the soldiers send him out. After resting on this upstairs for a while, and having eaten something, he felt much clearer, and he stood at the window and looked out, and his mind turned to the battle.
Now the recruitment in the city is going very smoothly, many of the local people in Jiankang have joined the volunteers, after replenishing the loss of the village soldiers, the total number of recruits in the forbidden army camp is more than before, of course, it is not excluded that the market is in short supply, the price is rising, and only the military camp can still have sufficient supply.
The materials that Liu Yu brought from later generations, including vegetables and vegetables, were not put into the market, and the people could obtain them through various labors, unless only the weak people in the family who were completely incapable of working would receive some relief. Just like the Qinhuai River outside the window, the clothes washed by those women are the clothes of the defenders brought home from the barracks.
After staying for a while, Liu Yu went downstairs to prepare to go back to the west gate, and was walking to the place where the horse was sent, when he saw a little girl coming to this side, looking a little familiar from a distance, and only when he got closer did he find that it was the maid in the room.
