Chapter 190: Eight Pieces
"And then, what happened?" Li Sui couldn't help but laugh a little, since he had Ye Jinyu, he got along a lot better, but Jinyu became another self, an ice beauty.
"Hey, don't say it, later, there was a flower thief, who harmed several yellow flower girls, and there were no dead or dead people, and there were girls in the whole Zhengzhou City, and they didn't dare to go out, and there were some beautiful little ladies, who had to be accompanied by their husbands when they went out during the day, but they couldn't see anyone at night."
"Is there no one in the government? Why don't you catch the flower thief? ”
"It's not what's wrong, the government is more than capable and not enough, that catch is busy all day long, and I don't have a clue at all, then Xing Catch is coming to our teahouse all day long to drink tea, recently I'm so anxious that I'm angry, who has to beat whom, it's really scary, but fortunately, I'm an orphan, and I don't have a daughter-in-law, don't worry, hey, hey, hey."
Ye Jinyu looked at the self-satisfied Xiao Er speechlessly, he couldn't find his daughter-in-law who was so fresh and refined by him, and she was also a talent.
"In this case, then I have to take care of my wife."
"That is, the lady's appearance is so good, but she has to be taken care of."
"Little two! Where are you lazy again, the guests have been waiting for a long time! The shopkeeper walked in through the back door and rushed over with his waist pinched.
"Here, here, here!" Xiao Er hurriedly threw off the sweat towel, turned around and bent over at Li Sui, "The guest officer is good at drinking." Another smug rushed to another table.
Ye Jinyu was drinking tea, and suddenly remembered Qingcheng and Ziying, and slammed the table, startling Li Sui.
"Lady, what are you doing here?"
"Let's go, Qingcheng and Ziying are still outside."
"Okay, little two, check out!"
The two of them were not in the mood to continue shopping, so they hurried back to the inn and asked the dark two who stayed behind, Qingcheng and Ziying also went out not long after they went out, and they should have gone to the east.
Send out secret guards to find them separately, Ye Jinyu is anxious, if Qingcheng and Ziying have three long and two short, they are good intentions and have done bad things, how can they be worthy of their two sisters.
was waiting anxiously, and saw Dark Three hurriedly enter the door.
"Madam, no, I heard at the East Gate just now that two more women were poisoned, I asked, one is wearing green clothes, and the other is wearing purple clothes, it should be the two of them."
"What?! It seems that I don't want to be nosy. ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, be careful of the child in your belly, I will go to the local yamen immediately, find the two as soon as possible, you wait here, don't go around."
"Well, go and get back."
Li Sui led the dark three out of the inn and went straight to the yamen, with his identity as the prince of Sui, it was more than enough to borrow a small county ya.
When he arrived at the Yamen, he did not alarm the officials in the house, but went directly over the wall, knocked out a maidservant, and asked the location of the county magistrate.
Li Sui kicked open the door of the study, the county magistrate was holding a pile of files, he was a weak scholar-like person, Si Si Wenwen, seeing the fierce dark one and the cold face of Li Sui was startled, Li Sui suddenly had the idea of investigating the people's feelings.
Swaggering into the house, he sat down in a chair, and the dark one stood behind him.
"You're the county magistrate here?"
"I am, who are you?"
"That's easy, I want to open a few stores here, the benefits are indispensable to yours, you go and find me a few good stores."
"You... You! You are bribing the officials of the imperial court, and the officials will never do anything about corruption and perversion of the law. ”
"Yo? Why, arrogant, you can shield the flower thieves to do evil here, why am I asking you to help me take down a few shops is corrupt? Li Sui looked like he was serious, and he almost believed it, thinking in his heart when the prince knew, but his face was silent.
"You! You... You are a bloody person, the official is sitting upright, the flower thief and the official will definitely arrest him, and you don't want to open a shop here! ”
"Let me tell you, I have connections in Kyoto, you helped me, promotion and fortune are just around the corner, if you don't help me, I can make you ruined and dead, you had better think clearly."
"Humph! Don't try to threaten me, I believe that there is a righteous way in the world, and evil does not prevail over good! Just like you scum, sooner or later you will be punished, this official has a clear breeze on his sleeves and a clear conscience! Even if it is wronged, it is temporary, and it is enough to die after doing your best, this is the biggest goal of this official! ”
Li Sui and Dian looked at the little county magistrate who was still trembling with fright just now, and now he slapped the file in his hand, scolding Li Sui like a surging river, looking like he was about to be generous.
"You have to think about it, this is ten taels of gold, this is just a meeting gift, are you sure you don't want money or death, you want your two sleeves of fresh air?"
"The breeze is enough, and the pickled things in your hands are not looked down upon by the official!" The little county magistrate flicked his sleeves.
"The county magistrate is too little, so add ten times, one hundred taels, and deliver it at dawn, how about it?"
"Don't say one hundred taels, it's one thousand taels and one thousand taels, and this official will never compromise."
"So the adults are too little?"
"You... You! You're... Distorting the facts... Hum! This official will not debate with you, if you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to chop, you will not say more! The little county magistrate obviously didn't quarrel, and he couldn't think of anything to scold after scolding for a long time, so his delicate face was flushed, and he sat on the chair angrily.
Li Sui is a little funny, this county magistrate is not very old, he should be about the same as him, but he is quite pedantic, and he is still a Qing official.
"Well, since you are bent on death, I will fulfill you, so that you can fulfill your name with a clean breeze on your sleeves." Li Sui took out the dagger and put it against the neck of the little county magistrate, the little county magistrate closed his eyes, although he shrank back, but he reacted, and handed his neck up again, almost hitting Li Sui's dagger.
"Finally, do you accept this gold?"
"No!"
Li Sui took back the dagger, he was really a clean official, but he was a little stupid. Li Sui took back the dagger, sat back in his chair, and looked at the little county magistrate who was still looking at death with a smile on his face.
"What's your name?"
"Huh? You don't kill me? ”
"Kill, I'll set up a monument for you to commemorate it."
"This official's monument doesn't need you scum to erect!" globe
Li Sui was a little helpless, this little county magistrate has something wrong with his brain, stupid like this, how did he survive until now?
"What's your name?"
"This official line will not change its name, sit or change its surname, its surname is Mumingqing, Muqing, okay, if you want to kill it, you can do whatever you want."
"I... Okay, Mu Qing, let me ask you a few questions at the end, are you the county magistrate of this Zhengzhou? ”
"Not bad."
"How long have you been in office?"
"A year and a half."
"Age."
"Twenty-three."
"I'm the same age?"
"But this official will never be in the same league as those who are waiting for you!"
"Well, how's the recent investigation of the flower thief case?"
"You don't have the right to ask."
"This king is the prince of Kyoto Sui, Li Sui, the prince of Sui, he was ordered to come to Weifu for a private visit, this is the token."
"It's useless to anyone... Well? Are you the king? You scared me just now? ”
"That's right." Li Sui didn't see the slightest sense of guilt for teasing people, and he was frank.
"You!" Mu Qing pointed at Li Sui but couldn't scold a word, after all, he was a scholar, he could chew words, and he couldn't compare with Li Sui if he quarreled ten.
"Don't you, me, this time I'm here for a private visit to Weifu, don't reveal the identity of this king to the outside world, and also, the princess's princess is also here, the princess's two maids should have been caught by flower thieves, solve the case as soon as possible, and the king will come with the princess tomorrow, understand?"
"Flower thieves are committing crimes again? I've got to write a dossier first, the last time was three days ago......"
Mu Qing muttered as he walked to the table and unfolded a blank piece of paper.
"It's important for you to tell us about the specifics, the place, the time, the characteristics of the missing person, the eyewitness information."
"I..." Li Sui was speechless for a while, he wanted to say but felt as if he didn't know anything, and his eyes signaled to say secretly.
"That's the case, the princess today thought that we people have worked hard all the way, so let's go out to play by ourselves, who would have thought that life is not familiar with the place and does not understand the situation, the princess's two maidservants, one Qingcheng and one Ziying, went out by themselves, and heard others say about it, so I hurriedly went to look for it, and I couldn't find it. The location should be the Dongdaemun side, and the time is around the time of Shen, and it is almost time. ”
"Well, I wrote it down, and then I said, missing person characteristics."
"In terms of the characteristics of the missing person, one is Tsing Yi and the other is purple, they look very similar, they are twin sisters, they are about this tall, about five feet, and the other can't speak."
"The witnesses include a lady who sells stinky tofu in Dongdaemun, a septuagenarian who opens a tea shop, a hawker who sells children's gadgets, well, and a clay man, there were not many people at the time, and these people were about to close the stall, so I happened to meet two men in black who carried away Qingcheng Ziying, and everyone wanted to stop but couldn't stop it at all."
"Two? Men in Black? ”
"That's what the eyewitnesses said, and there are really not many people who can carry two women and others can't stop them."
"Well, this is very important, I used to think that there was only one person for the flower thief, but now it seems that he still has accomplices."
Mu Qing carefully wrote down the words of the dark one, and checked with the dark one again, Li Sui frowned, he felt that things were not so simple, there must be some conspiracy behind it.
Li Sui and Mu Qing decided on tomorrow's affairs, so they took Dark Yi back to the inn and explained the situation to Ye Jinyu, although Ye Jinyu was in a hurry, he could only wait for tomorrow.
At night, Li Sui and Ye Jinyu opened their eyes at the same time, but they didn't move, listening to the movement of the roof, their hands slowly stretched out to the dagger under the pillow, and their bodies tensed.
There was a whispered conversation on the roof, and Li Sui raised his eyebrows, this voice is very familiar, it is Mu Qing who I saw just now, and there is a person of about the same age.
"You're stupid, light, their martial arts are not low, be careful of being rushed up and unloaded."
"Lang Lang Qiankun, how can you kill people casually? According to the thirty-sixth article of the forty-eighth book of the law of the Great View..."
"Shut up, or I'll throw you down from here, and you can defy the law yourself, and let the law of Dajing punish them for you."
"Don't don't, don't you, can't I say it?"
"What the hell are you asking me to bring you here for? Grinding and grinding. ”
"I want to see if he's a prince."
"Haven't you seen his token?"
"But I've only been in office for more than a year, and I don't know what the prince's token looks like, let alone judge the authenticity."
"And how are you going to judge his authenticity now?"
"Uh, do you have a way?"
"Does that mean you dragged me in as a coolie before you thought about it?"
"It seems that yes, but you are not a coolie, you are dedicating yourself to the cause of justice and seeking the well-being of the people, which is very honorable."
"Lao Tzu is not rare, just your face is big, and you have a lot of things to do all day long, what should I do now?"
"It's all here, why don't we go down and have a look?"
"Look at what? See if there is a python robe? ”
