The next day, the sky was bright.

Shui Qingxiang got up early, and when she looked at the person under the bed, she had already left the room one step ahead of herself.

Liu Yingyi, this guy got up so early, Shui Qingxiang complained in her heart.

When she had cleaned up, she walked out of the room, skirting a corridor and hearing a familiar voice coming from a room just below.

Yoo Young-yi's voice rose an octave, as if he was angrily scolding someone.

Shui Qingxiang was curious, Liu Yingyi usually looks kind and has a good temper, such a rare tantrum is because of who and something.

She walked outside the room and listened carefully.

"Yulan County is a poor county, most of the people are in danger, as a parent official, you don't think about how to save the people from fire and water, but you use the money to buy those things, can you ever be worthy of the black gauze hat on your head?" Liu Yingyi scolded Liu Cheng angrily, with a bit of concern for the country and the people in his tone.

Shui Qingxiang was quite surprised, it stands to reason that Liu Yingyi and Liu Cheng are county commanders of the same grade, and their official positions are the same, but Liu Yingyi's accusation of Liu Cheng's colleagues is so righteous and awe-inspiring, and he didn't show mercy at all because Liu Cheng was a few years older than him.

But to her surprise, the county commander Liu Cheng still gave Lord Liu a lot of face, and said in a low voice: "The lower officials must remember the teachings and never commit it again in the future." ”

After Liu Yingyi taught Liu Cheng a lesson, she pushed open the door and walked out, and as soon as she went out, she bumped into Shui Qingxiang standing at the door with a puzzled face.

"Let's go, I'll go around town." After Liu Yingyi finished speaking, he walked out of the mansion in Yulan County with Shui Qingxiang.

Liu Yingyi didn't wear an official uniform today, and he was quite energetic in civilian clothes, he came out of the house, didn't say a word, and walked straight to a morning shop on the street with Shui Qingxiang.

"This rice noodles and fritters in Lan County are good, try it." Yoo Young-il pulled out a chair and sat down.

Shui Qingxiang glanced at Liu Yingyi, and saw that his expression was normal, and she had more doubts in her heart.

"Lord Liu shouldn't be the first time to come back to Lan County, right?"

"No, I've been in a neighboring county for a few years, and I'll come here occasionally to have a look."

"You know Master Liu very well?" is so familiar that he dares to accuse him unscrupulously.

"I'm not familiar with him, he's a little older than me, and I'll ask him to mention some things." Liu Yingyi said very modestly, as if the person who reprimanded Liu County's order in the county government just now was not himself.

From this direction of Shui Qingxiang, you can just see Liu Yingyi's side face, a breezy and moon-like face, and his facial features seem to be carved into jade, worthy of the title of Jade Son, not at all like a county magistrate who opens his eyes and talks nonsense.

However, just now, Shui Qingxiang suddenly found that she didn't know much about this county magistrate who loved her work.

While speaking, the boss had already brought two bowls of rice noodles to the table.

Vermicelli made from white rice is mixed with chives, garlic and other condiments, and it tastes dry and fragrant.

It seems that Lord Liu is not a mouthful, at least this is not wrong with the rice noodles in Lan County.

After eating the rice noodles, Liu Yingyi asked someone to wrap the fritters, then carried the fritters, turned a corner and walked towards another path.

A path paved with bluestone slabs ends in an inn.

The two-story wooden structure building, the house is dilapidated and old, and there is a tattered plaque hanging at the door, which reads "Yulan Inn" in a few large characters.

This is the only inn in Yulan County.

Shui Qingxiang looked at the shabby appearance of the inn, and suddenly understood why Liu Yingyi didn't let him stay in the inn last night.

Following Liu Yingyi into the inn, Shui Qingxiang found that the inside looked even shabby than the outside.

A few tables were placed in the hall, covered with a thick layer of ash, and there was not even a single runner, and a man was dozing off at the counter.

Yoo Young-yi swayed in front of the man with a paper bag containing fried dough sticks in one hand, and a strong aroma of fried fried fritters filled his nose.

The stout man at the counter was like a sensitive hound, sneeze first when he smelled the smell, and then opened his eyes, and when he saw Liu Yingyi, his eyes were full of surprise, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into a cold and ordinary expression, and deliberately spoke in a lazy voice.

"Yo, it's really rare, what kind of wind blew you here?"

"Look at you, after so many years, it hasn't changed at all, and your speech is still so bad, even the fritters can't stop your mouth." Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but be a little surprised, it turned out that the county magistrate who seemed to be polite and polite would also make fun of people.

"You remember that I like to eat fritters, for so many years, you say...... Hey, who's this? The other party shifted his gaze to Shui Qingxiang behind Liu Yingyi.

"This is the water girl I brought to help me solve the case." Liu Yingyi introduced.

"Solve the case?" The man pursed his lips and glanced at Shui Qingxiang from head to toe, with deep inquiry in his eyes.

"Water girl, this is my old friend Ning Wuze, who is also the owner of Yulan Inn."

Shui Qingxiang looked at the somewhat rugged man in front of him, with a fat face, a thick beard, and his eyes always had a bit of fierceness, and he didn't look like a good person at first glance.

How could Lord Yanagi have such a friend?

Ning Wu invited the two to sit down, took a rag that he didn't know where to find it, wiped the table, and then poured a cup of tea for the two, as well as a plate of pastries with a strange taste.

"My inn hasn't been open for a long time, and there is a little stock in the kitchen, so you can make do with it."

"You know I'm not here for tea today." Liu Yingyi looked at Ning Wuze with a serious face.

Ning Wu took a bite of the fritters, and said with a ruffian face: "I know, I know, your master has always been busy, and he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." More than ten years ago, a craftsman came to Yulan County, and his family moved here, and I heard that the work of doing the craft is too good to say, and the flowers, birds, and larks on the carved golden hairpin seem to be alive......"

Liu Yingyi frowned, "Talk about the point!" ”

Ning Wu was interrupted, and his tone was a little dissatisfied, "You, you're still so boring...... Seven years ago, the craftsman surnamed Lin took a job to make gold for the first emperor, but he didn't expect the gold to be stolen, half a month later, the family surnamed Lin was all killed, and the conclusion given by the government was that 'the enemy seeks revenge and is destroyed.' ’”

"Enemies? Maybe it's the thieves who robbed the tribute and gold. Shui Qingxiang said the guess in her heart.

Ning Wu grinned and smiled ambiguously at Shui Qingxiang: "Hey, hey, this girl has a lot of brains, but unfortunately there is no way to verify it now." Anyway, the eleven members of the Lin family are poured blood mold, and the old house of the Lin family is still empty and has become a ghost house. ”

When Ning Wu talked about the "ghost house", he kept looking at Shui Qingxiang, his eyes were shining, and he looked like he was trying his best to scare Shui Qingxiang.

If it was an ordinary timid woman, looking at Ning Wuze's fierce and vicious face like half a ghost, and listening to the ghost stories he told, she might have been really scared by him.

It's a pity that to Shui Qingxiang, it is just a trick to deceive children, this Ning Wu is really a guy with a strange temper as Liu Yingyi said.

"Where is the old mansion of the Lin family, take us to see it." Liu Yingyi said to Ning Wuze.

When Ning Wuze heard this, he was not happy: "You only said that you wanted to inquire about the Lin family, but you didn't say that you wanted to lead the way, I took you to the Lin family's inn and didn't look at it, you have to give me money." ”

"Where are there still people living in your inn?" Although Liu Yingyi said this, he still took out some broken silver from his body and slapped it on the table.

Ning Wu unceremoniously accepted the silver tael, "The silver and goods are good, and I will show you the way immediately." ”
