Jiang Xiaobai's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xiao Neng said with a straight face: "Because in recent days, many people in the capital have suddenly suffered from this strange disease, and most of them are concentrated in Dongcheng District. The Department of Criminal Health believes that there is something strange about this matter and is currently investigating. ”

Jiang Xiaobai's eyebrows raised slightly, and suddenly he thought of Jing Ke, and asked again: "Why didn't the White Tiger Ya move?" ”

"Hey, Shi Wenfu doesn't care about these things, he just wants to drink tea and have fun." Xiao Nengshou said disdainfully, "Don't talk about him, he is the entire White Tiger Ya's subordinates, seeing the commander like this, it also wears out the heart of wanting to make meritorious contributions." White Tiger Ya... It's been a long time since I've looked into a case. ”

Jiang Xiaobai sank his eyes, and the soldiers were in a nest, which was true.

——

Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaobai went to Shi Wenfu's master bedroom, knocked on the door, and waited for a while before the door opened.

Shi Wenfu seemed to have just woken up, and he was also a little surprised when he saw that it was Jiang Xiaobai, yawned, and said slowly: "Director Jiang is looking for this official early in the morning, what's the matter?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai gave a salute, cleared his throat, and made his voice appear more respectful: "If you go back to your lordship, you will have something to report for your humble position." ”

"Oh?" Shi Wenfu was slightly stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Kyoto's strange illness."

"Oh, I've also heard a little about this, saying that in recent days, there is a strange disease that makes people's skin black spread in Dongcheng District, and many Langzhong are helpless." Shi Wenfu frowned, and said lightly: "Master Jiang suddenly talked about this strange disease, what do you want?" ”

"I want to find out the truth about this." Jiang Xiaobai said bluntly.

Shi Wenfu raised the corners of his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then smiled: "Good, good!" It is the duty of the White Tiger Ya to solve the worries and worries of the imperial court, and the head of Jiang has the heart to do things, and the official will give his full support. ”

I thought that Shi Wenfu would be a prevarication, but unexpectedly he agreed very happily. Subsequently, he immediately convened the entire government and showed his vigorous and resolute side, which surprised Jiang Xiaobai.

With the roar of a tiger, more than 30 subordinates in the yali quickly gathered in the hall. Shi Wenfu sat high on the main hall, his eyes swept over everyone, and then he announced aloud that he would investigate the strange illness in the city, and Jiang Xiaobai, a director, would take charge of the case.

Everyone was in an uproar, with their faces on their faces, Shi Wenfu said to Jiang Xiaobai: "Director Jiang, this is the first case since the resumption of the White Tiger Ya, don't let this official down." ”

"Please reassure your Excellency that you will do your best." Jiang Xiaobai said respectfully.

Shi Wenfu nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said to everyone: "Let's all go and prepare." ”

Everyone took the order and left, but Shao Yifei stayed alone, with some doubts on his face: "My lord, why is this?" ”

Shi Wenfu sat back in his chair and looked at him with a smile: "Are you wondering why this official suddenly investigated the case, and he had to hand it over to Jiang Xiaobai to be responsible?" ”

"It's incomprehensible to be lowly in office." Shao Yifei shook his head and said truthfully.

"The new official has three fires in office, and he Jiang Xiaobai wants to make meritorious deeds, so I naturally won't stop him." Shi Wenfu chuckled, his face gradually became gloomy, and he snorted, "It's just that whether he can use the people in the yali is another story." ”

After that, seeing that Shao Yifei's face was still a little confused, Shi Wenfu added: "If he really handles the case well, then it will also be my commander and envoy, but if he stabs some basket, or if something goes wrong..." ”

When Shao Yifei heard this, his eyes lit up for a moment, and the drummer said: "Wonderful! This plan of killing two birds with one stone is really wonderful! ”

Shi Wenfu stroked his beard and smiled, remembered something again, and asked, "By the way, how was the matter that you asked you to check last time." ”

"Couldn't find anything." Shao Yifei shook his head and pursed his lips, "I only know that he once squatted in the prison of Yuejing Mansion." ”

"Prisoner?" Shi Wenfu raised his eyebrows, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

——

Jiang Xiaobai was indeed in trouble, and although the people in the hall didn't say anything, they could see the word disgust on their faces. That's right, disgust.

And when he went to ask for help from the people in the other three places, they didn't even look at his face, and they didn't seem to pay any attention to his main business. The director of the second department, and Fang Yun, the director of the third department, laughed and said that the brothers had work to do, but they couldn't spare manpower. Even the seven or eight subordinates who belonged to one place also had a perfunctory attitude.

Jiang Xiaobai can also know a little bit about the thoughts of this group of people, since he can receive a good fortune without working and live a quiet and comfortable life, then why do he still pick up the sword and work hard? Moreover, he has just arrived, his foundation is not stable, and he is still young, and there will be no few people who are dissatisfied with him.

Jiang Xiaobai sighed lightly, now except for Xiao Nengshou, Bai Qi, and Liu Lingba, he really doesn't have many people available, and one of the directors of this White Tiger Ya has almost become the commander of the light pole.

And what can three people do in this huge Kyoto?

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Nengshou and Li Mu walked over, Jiang Xiaobai retracted his thoughts and said lightly: "Nengshou, something?" ”

"Boss, Li Mu has something to say to you"

Jiang Xiaobai bowed slightly, looked at Li Mu, and saw Li Mu groaning for a while, his lips moved, and said, "Master Jiang, I want to take you somewhere." ”

Jiang Xiaobai followed Li Mu to the backyard of Baihu Ya, turned to a trail, walked for a while, and came to a small hillside. There is a tomb on the hillside, and there are four people standing in front of the tomb, Jiang Xiaobai recognizes them, they are Zhao Lei and Meng Da who belong to the second place, and the second tiger who belongs to the third place.

Xiao Nengshou hadn't brought him here before, so Jiang Xiaobai also knew for the first time that there was such a small hillside in the backyard of Baihuya, and when he saw a tomb, he couldn't help but be curious.

"The king?" Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled, and he hadn't heard Xiao Nengshou mention this person, why he was buried in the White Tiger Ya.

Li Mu stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wang Tu is the last keeper of the White Tiger Ya. ”

"The Guard?" Jiang Xiaobai was even more puzzled.

Li Mu continued: "Seventeen years ago, the imperial court officially ordered the abolition of the White Tiger Ya, and a group of White Tiger Ya people were dismissed. But the old gentleman did not leave, but stayed in the yali and silently guarded here. Glancing at Zhao Lei, Meng Da, and Erhu, "The four of us are orphans that the old gentleman picked up ten years ago." ”

When Jiang Xiaobai heard this, he was moved, and the imperial court officially ordered the abolition of the White Tiger Ya, which meant that no more funds or money would be allocated. However, this White Tiger Yaren, named Wang Tu, has silently guarded this place for more than ten years without receiving a penny of silver from the imperial court, what a belief!

Perhaps seeing what Jiang Xiaobai was thinking, Li Mu lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and said: "After the old gentleman took the four of us into custody, he taught us many skills, I am good at horses, Zhao Lei knows the instrument, Meng Da understands pharmacology, and as for the second tiger..."

"I'm stupid and only learned to fight." Erhu scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Li Mu smiled, as if recalling the previous time, his eyes were full of warmth: "After that, the old gentleman took the four of us to work in the capital to earn silver, one is to support himself, and the other is to repair the White Tiger Ya." In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed. ”

Jiang Xiaobai sighed and said movingly: "The old gentleman is a great person. ”

Li Mu nodded, stared at the tombstone with both eyes, brushed away the fallen leaves on the monument with his light hand, and said heavily: "Two years ago, the old gentleman left, and his biggest wish was to see the White Tiger Ya regain its glory, and now the White Tiger Ya has also been restarted, but it's a pity..."

"It's a pity that Shi Wenfu doesn't care about political affairs at all, if the old gentleman is still alive, how will it be his turn to be the commander!" Zhao Lei gritted his teeth and answered.

Meng Da and Erhu on the side were also angry.

Jiang Xiaobai can understand the mood of Li Mu and the others at the moment, for these four people, Baihuya is their home, Shi Wenfu's negligence not only ruined this home, but also lived up to the belief of the king disciple for a lifetime.

I saw Li Mu turn around with a solemn expression: "Master Jiang, I can see that you are different from Shi Wenfu, you are an ambitious person, if you can trust us" He clenched his fists and said solemnly, "The four of us are willing to swear to the death!" ”

"Swear to the death!" Zhao Lei, Meng Da, and Erhu read in unison.

Jiang Xiaobai's expression moved, but he didn't speak, but after bowing to the tombstone three times, he said slowly: "The grave is not only a place to store ashes and remains, what really needs a cemetery is the hearts of people who are still alive. ”

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly, patted Li Mu's shoulder and said solemnly: "Although I can't guarantee that the White Tiger Ya will return to its former glory, at least I won't be ashamed of his old man." ”

Several people heard Jiang Xiaobai say this, and their eyes suddenly lit up, including Xiao Nengshou. He and Li Mu were originally good friends, but now that Jiang Xiaobai has accepted them, everyone can be regarded as the same camp and a common front.

Xiao Nengshou stepped forward and said with joy on his face: "Boss, where are you going to start?" ”

"Naturally, I went to the hardest-hit area first." Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said indifferently. There are not many soldiers but fine, and with the statement of Li Mu's four people, his team is a little more sufficient.

Compared to other urban districts, Dongcheng District is the most complex of the four urban districts in Yuejing, because it is located here for the pier of the Beijing-Zhejiang Grand Canal, which runs through the north and south of Yueguo. Therefore, Dongcheng District has naturally become the commercial center of Yuejing City, with a dazzling array of goods and three religions and nine streams.
