The man in charge looked terrified, and then he was ready to explain.

However, the law enforcement hall master immediately stopped this person and didn't let this person talk much: "I'm also bothering you here, because the matter is also busy, and it's not too early for us to rush back, don't publicize today's affairs, just go to the law enforcement hall master in the city to find me if you have anything."

After eating, he said goodbye to the man in charge.

Mo Yu also clenched his fists and retreated, following behind the law enforcement hall master.

The group took the horses and began to prepare to go to the river, and this is where the cloth was found.

In fact, it was not early, and it was estimated that it would be almost dark by the time we arrived at the river.

But it's always like this, and it seems very slow when you go, but on the way back, because you are familiar with the terrain, you will find that you actually come back very quickly.

That was not much worse than the time it was used.

After a tiring day, I was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, horseback riding was not a very comfortable activity, and riding in a carriage was not always very comfortable, especially during this bumpy journey.

When they finally reached a bend in the river downstream, they stopped, and from afar they could see dozens of soldiers surrounding the river, and they could see the cloth on the bank.

It seems that a group of people have salvaged the cloth and are waiting for them to come at any moment.

Then dismount and let people clean up, and Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master took a look at the cloth.

The law enforcement hall master carefully inspected it and then asked the soldier next to him, "Is there any important discovery?"

"There are no important discoveries, but the merchants of these fabrics have found out, and some of the fabrics should have drifted downstream, but in terms of quantity, most of them are here." One of them, apparently the leading soldier, replied.

"Which merchant's?"

"The cloth merchant of the Lin family in the west of the city."

"Oh, it's that one, but that business is too big, let's go back and talk about it, have you tasted it, is the river really salty?" The Law Enforcement Hall Master continued to ask.

"In the afternoon, it was just a little bit, and by now it should be almost none, but I can be sure that there are indeed people who want to spill a lot of salt, and there are a lot of floating plankton."

Then the law enforcement hall master came over and asked Mo Yu: "City lord, look, is there anything else that needs to be ordered?"

Mo Yu shook his head, still the same sentence: "It's good for you to make a decision, I'm not good at this kind of thing."

The law enforcement hall master continued: "Then there is actually no great value here, the biggest problem has been found, that is, the source of the cloth, or the city lord, then we will go back to the city, right?"

Mo Yu nodded, in fact, this time was enough to have an explanation with Elder Duan, but the matter had not been clarified yet, and Mo Yu was not very willing.

But there is a vague saying in Mo Yu's heart, this matter seems to be impossible to find out again, how can a matter that has been carefully designed for several years be able for them to find out in a short time.

It is estimated that touching the melon will always make this melon vine have a broken place.

Then the group went back to the city, leaving a few soldiers to share some wagons to pull the cloth back into the city, and then let the merchants recognize it if they could recognize it.

When he returned to the city, it was already completely dark, but the lights in the city were brilliant, and by the time Mo Yu returned to the City Lord's Mansion, there was no one near the City Lord's Mansion except for the soldiers on patrol, and some public officials had all gone home.

There were only two soldiers in the back, one carrying a large package, which was the tea that Mo Yu had brought.

Then he sent them away when he asked them to put the tea leaves in the warehouse, while Mo Yu opened the package and spread it flat on the table, ready to dry it overnight and let the assistant clean it up tomorrow.

After lighting the candles, Mo Yu looked at the city lord's documents, basically everything had been solved, and a few problems that had not been solved were still on the table, and the others looked in good order.

Jiang Liang still has some ability to do business, and it seems that Jiang Liangzhi is still good at handling government affairs.

Mo Yu closed his eyes and rested for a while, then opened his eyes and boiled some water, putting the tea leaves in the cup in the process of boiling the water.

Then he took out a blank document and recorded what happened today and the clues he got.

After the recording, the water was almost boiled, and a cup of tea was brewed.

When the boiling water rushed in, the aroma of the tea leaves drifted into Mo Yu's nose along the water vapor, Mo Yu took a deep breath, and sure enough, it was still the same taste.

Then he went out of the city lord's mansion with his cup, and stood on top of the city tower and looked out of the city, which was now pitch black, and the city gate had been closed.

On the other hand, the city is brightly lit, and the carriages are overwhelmed, and it seems to be unusually prosperous.

Because it was too late today, he didn't go to the Lin family's cloth merchant to inquire about the situation, but Mo Yu always felt that there were a lot of things wrong with today's suspicions.

I was thinking while drinking water, and then I looked in the direction of the east of the city.

After thinking about it for a while, as if thinking of something again, I added a few more strokes to the document I had just recorded, but it seemed that it didn't feel right, and I drew it again.

After going back and forth like this for half a day, Mo Yu felt a little upset.

Close the door of the lord's house and go up into the city.

At this time, there are actually many places to be entertained in the city, such as restaurants and tea shops, cross talk, storytelling, juggling, and courtesans, and so on.

When I was on the street, I suddenly felt hungry, and then I saw the wonton stall next to me, so I just sat down to eat a bowl of wontons.

"Boss, a bowl of wontons, more chili peppers."

In fact, when I first came, I still had a lot of discomfort, for example, I don't like sweet or spicy here, although Mo Yu is not a person who can eat spicy food in the north, but compared to the sweet style in the south, Mo Yu is already very spicy.

And the degree of that chili pepper is far less, so Mo Yu asked this wonton seller to put more chili peppers.

However, time can change everything, including his own habits, and gradually Mo Yu will be able to eat some of the food here.

Indeed, the gap is quite large.

Not only are there a lot of carriages going back and forth, but there are also a lot of people playing back and forth.

Because the river runs through the entire city, and it doesn't run in a straight line, there are always people who want to have a visit at night.

The couple chanting poems by the river seems a little romantic, and the child holding the sugar gourd in his hand and shouting by the river that there are fish also seems to be a little happy.

In fact, Mo Yu didn't know how many nights he didn't come out, most of the time he spent reviewing documents in Chengdu Mansion and dealing with the elders.

As well as the assignment of subordinate tasks, especially when I first came a few days ago, I was not familiar with official business, and I had to do everything myself, which was even more busy.

In this era, the atmosphere is slightly liberalized, there are no cumbersome etiquette, and the difference between men and women is not particularly important.

It is also common to see a man and a woman walking hand in hand on the street.

When strolling around the street, the night market is naturally the most desirable place to go, and all kinds of food are naturally not to mention, as well as those performances, selling small things are naturally overwhelming.

Especially in the street next to Mo Yu, now is not the time for festivals, although it is not too crowded, but you can also see the crowd that cannot be seen at a glance.

Not to mention if it's a festival.

There are all kinds of lanterns and fireworks everywhere, which can be regarded as a relatively prosperous city in the south.

If you say that in the north, such cities are rare, especially in the north where Mo Yu is located, the night is cold, and there are not many crowds and shops.

At the beginning, it was quite new, but he was carried away by the busy official business, so Mo Yu didn't have much time to play.

Today can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, allowing Mo Yu to take a look at the scenery at night.

You'll be able to see teams of patrols, teams of ten, not particularly long, responsible for security in the neighborhood.

Mo Yu's eating speed is quite fast, the speed of eating in the north is generally relatively fast, the amount is large, if you eat slowly, then you have to eat until the year and month.

"How much does the boss cost?"

"Three empty." After the little boss said it, Mo Yu discovered a very serious matter, all his money seemed to be given to the village chief, and only so much money on his body was used to buy tea.

All of a sudden, I was a little at a loss.

However, Mo Yu came up with a good idea, first decided to wait for a while, and then wait until the next wave of patrol soldiers came to ask if one of them had any money.

The next group of patrol soldiers did not stay for a long time, but this group of patrol soldiers was led by someone.

Mo Yu had no choice but to shout, and the leader of the patrol soldiers also saw Mo Yu at once, this is a squad leader who recognized Mo Yu at once.

So he hurriedly ran over and asked the patrolling soldiers to wait for a while, Mo Yu was also relieved when he saw such a situation, so that some patrolling soldiers would not see it.

A city lord who doesn't bring money to eat doesn't make people laugh and lose their big teeth.

Then the squad leader smiled in a low voice after seeing the city lord and said, "Hello city lord, is there something wrong?"

Mo Yu coughed slightly: "That person forgot to bring money when he went out to eat, there is no money here, and you have no money?" I'll give it to you tomorrow, and I'll send it to you quickly. ”

The squad leader obviously wanted to laugh but finally held back, and then began to take out the money on his body, took out Shiyu and handed it to Mo Yu: "The city lord didn't bring too much money on patrol at night, are these enough?" If it's not enough, I'll ask the soldiers for it. ”

After Mo Yu took it, he nodded hurriedly: "Enough is enough, it's really troublesome for you, there is nothing abnormal today, right?"

The squad leader said softly to Mo Yu: "If you go back to the city lord, there is no special situation, then you go to patrol first, and I will send someone to give you the money tomorrow."

"Okay, city lord, then I'll go on patrol first."

Then the squad leader left with a group of people, and the boss knew that this was not a small person.

However, Mo Yu left immediately after putting down Shiyu's money and didn't say much.

As we walked along the river, the courtesans on the boat were singing, all of which were quite popular tunes.

In fact, these boats can't be counted as boats, they can't be driven at all, but they are like a building on the water, about two or three floors, and if someone wants to go to this building, they need to have a boat to pick them up and go back and forth.

In this way, it is now very mysterious, which means that the business may be better, and people will always pay for what they are curious about.

The road home is not the closest, and it is even a bit far, but Mo Yu walked this road today just to take a stroll.

When I saw the night market on the street next to me, I couldn't help but raise my feet and walk that way, this whole street is not particularly wide, but there is always a way for business people to set up their stalls on this street.

Break through your own wall and make a window, put a wooden board that can support it, put the things you sell on the board, and then sell them to the people who come and go.

Most of them are local snacks and nearby snacks, and some sell daily necessities, such as shoes worn by children.

For example, kites and big windmills and the like, there are not many people, and then Mo Yu walked in lightly.

When he didn't walk to the door of a house, he could always hear these shouts unusually loud, and the shouts with local customs made Mo Yu feel unusually cordial.

It's not too long from beginning to end, the length of a street is about 500 meters, but there seem to be thousands of merchants, and the walls of Meiyijia are all chiseled, so there is no waste of any place to sell goods.

People of all walks of life are here with smiles on their faces.

There are always two bright red lanterns hanging on top of each shop, and the bright kerosene inside is lit with a huge smoke vent on it.

Although this way of lighting is particularly bright, the shortcomings are also very prominent, that is, there is a lot of smoke, and it is easy to blacken the red lanterns.

Finally, when people make the red lantern, there is always a special metal that guides him out, so that he does not dye the red lantern black.

After walking through this street for a short time, he would have gone home, and Mo Yu didn't linger too much, because he didn't have much money on him, so he didn't have anything to buy.

The place where Mo Yu sat was a gathering place, that is, most of the relevant staff lived nearby, and if the position was higher, there was a separate courtyard.

If the position is a little lower, it is a courtyard for several people, and the courtyard is not too small, and it is even said that there is no problem with bringing family members to live.

Originally, the position of the city lord could be left alone in a very large courtyard, but when Mo Yu came, he didn't want it to be very big, after all, he lived by himself and was not married, so he didn't want a big courtyard.

There are only three houses in this courtyard, one main room with bedroom and study, and then next to the kitchen and latrine, and the width and length of the yard are not particularly large.

But even so, Mo Yu still felt a little broad.

The lights next to it are bright, because the people living next to it are collective dormitories, where those soldiers live, when there is no patrol duty at night, they play cards or mahjong in the courtyard, and a few people get a few small dishes and buy a few jars of wine, and they are quite comfortable.

After Mo Yu went back, he lit the lamp, and then took off his clothes and washed himself, he actually sweated a lot all the way today, so his body was a little sticky.
