Li Mi has always known that Qingque'er is not very human, he has read books, his words and deeds, standing and sitting are all graceful, although he is lonely and cold, he has a strict family education, and he should have some extraordinary origins.

Although he is only a teenager, he can twist a group of children such as Jiu Bucket into a rope and make a living in a place like Yaxing, and his ambition is not small, and it is only his first step to win the Ma Wangye Temple.

Like Li Mi, he has the experience and modern knowledge of later generations, but he still has "no ambitions", and only wants to continue to do his old business as a criminal investigator, while Qingque'er is in the clouds, but his heart is in the clouds.

This trip to Hangzhou, because I have to rely on the three iron arresters of the Torture Hall, I took the official road, and the passage through Jiaxing Mansion was also planned, and there was no problem with bringing Qingque'er.

"If I ask you the purpose of your trip, you won't tell me, will you?" Li Mi asked tentatively, but Qingque'er showed a meaningful smile.

"If I said that I was going to kill someone, would Brother Li believe it?"

Li Mi looked at Qingque'er's eyes, and after only a moment, he nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

"Then do you dare to take me?"

"It's one thing to accompany you, it's another thing to kill someone, I just took you over, and I didn't help you kill people, what's taboo, but you can't kill people, don't rely on me, you have a grudge against others, killing people is also excusable, I have no grievances with others, don't let my innocent hands be stained with blood."

Hearing this, Qingque'er also breathed a sigh of relief, her face was a little excited and excited, and she said to Li Mi: "I entrusted the details of the temple tonight, and I will go to find you tomorrow and set off together!" ”

Li Mi asked a little bit again, "Can I know who you want to kill?" ”

Qingque'er's face became solemn, and she didn't answer for a long time, so Li Mi waved her hand.

"Forget it, I won't ask you, I don't know the horizontal and vertical, if you know, you will be contaminated with cause and effect, it is better to know nothing."

Qingque'er smiled at this time: "Thank you, Brother Li!" ”

Li Mi informed Qingque'er of the time and place of tomorrow's gathering, and then left the Ma Wangye Temple.

When he returned to the county office, it was already dark at night, and Li Mi was lying on the wooden bed in the officer's house, thinking about everything that had happened during this time, and it was inevitable that he would toss and turn.

Although there have been many twists and turns, he has finally made some progress, and the current momentum is not bad, but there is still a distance of 108,000 miles from the first detective of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a long way to go, how can he be complacent?

Thinking like this, Li Mi hesitated a little again, and couldn't fall asleep, so he got up and lit the lamp, and listed all the things to do during the trip to Hangzhou, what resources were available in his hand, what was the attitude of the Zhang family, and how the general Wu Weizhong should make friends, etc., all made an analysis.

In the middle of summer, the days are long and the nights are short, the insects are cooing outside the window, and the breeze and the moon are a little melancholy, but Li Mi is uplifted, burying his head in the plan, and before he knows it, the sky is bright.

Xu is Jian Dingyong's statement has played a role, or maybe Li Mi has been in the limelight these days, and the people in the county government are naturally very polite to Li Mi.

The old mother who was assigned to Li Mi's envoy was kind and caring, Li Mi was also polite to her, she was even more thoughtful, she prepared breakfast for Li Mi early, and when Li Mi was free to eat, she came to the room and prepared a bag for Li Mi.

Li Mi's private belongings are naturally prepared by herself, and the bags prepared by the old mother are all dry food and a change of clothes.

Before leaving yesterday, Xiang Mu asked people to stuff dozens of taels of entanglements, Li Mi was going to refuse, but he could travel poorly, but he needed to deal with the three iron arresters in the torture hall, and he couldn't let people follow him to do private things.

Although he didn't really go on business, he was for the big thing of resisting the Japanese invaders, and for the sake of the world's grand duke, but in the end, he accompanied Lu Chongning to Zhang's house in his private name.

Song Zhiwei sent these three people to Li Mi, they were polite to Li Mi, and Li Mi did not entrust them, respected them everywhere, humbly asked for advice with the attitude of juniors, worshiped them as seniors, and took Cheng Yi to pay homage, these three people were naturally in a good mood.

Lu Chongning came to the county government early, although he is a scholar, but he has the name of a prodigy, after taking the Xiucai exam in the early years, he went on a study tour, traveled the world, and had the experience of walking.

The three iron catchers plus Li Mi and Qingque'er, there are only five people, and one car is enough, because Lu Chongning is going to Zhang's house, so the Lu family also sent a car, and three or five family members followed to serve.

After everyone met, Li Mi briefly said something about the trip, and then Tie Yu led him and staggered on the road.

The water and land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are vertical and horizontal, extending in all directions, it is extremely convenient, and it is only expedient to take a car on this road, and when you arrive at the wharf, you will change to take the waterway.

Lu Chongning is sincere to his wife, this time others thought that he went to his parents' house to confess, but they didn't know that he still had a big idea in his heart!

It did make him angry that he kept his wife in the dark, but after his wife was killed, he thought about it day and night, and he had already figured out all the joints.

If it weren't for the fact that he was powerless and couldn't protect his wife, let alone protect himself, how could his wife hide it from him, and how could she hide it from him?

When the people of Suzhou knew that the Zhang family was assassinated by the Japanese in order to eradicate the Japanese Kou, and this woman was the heroine of the Zhang family, who did not admire?

Although he Lu Chongning is a scholar, he also knows that a woman should teach her husband and son with three virtues and four virtues, and she should not be so secretive, fighting, killing, and being a bad person in the green forest.

But he and his wife respect each other like guests, and the repeated failures and the pain of losing his wife have already made him completely awake.

Even if Li Mi didn't come to look for him, he would go to Zhang's house sooner or later, not to confess his guilt, or to force the Zhang family to ask why he wanted his wife to be in danger, but because he wanted to inherit his wife's unfinished business!

In addition to stopping to eat, Li Mi was almost chatting with the three iron catchers along the way, and those who caught fast in the county government were all trivial things on weekdays, and the skills and business standards of the criminal investigation profession were not at all.

But the iron arrest of these torture halls is different!

They are the elite of the Torture Hall, the six-door iron catch that everyone is afraid of, and the rangers on the green forest road, and they have to give them a little thin face.

They deal with big and important cases that the county government can't handle, they are dedicated and professional and focused, and the county government's persuasion and street arrest are completely heaven and earth!

Li Mi is a man who aspires to become the first detective of the Ming Dynasty, how can he miss such a learning opportunity!

Of course, Li Mi did not blindly show weakness, after all, he was able to enter the field of vision of everyone in the Torture Hall because of Zhang's case, and he won the respect of the whole Torture Hall because of the map analysis method and the careful work of cleaning the widows.

Therefore, Li Mi also changed the background and details of some cases in the world, leaving only twists and turns and bizarre plots to share with these iron catchers.

These iron catches are also secretly surprised, but I don't know that in addition to the real cases, many of Li Mi's cases are stolen from detective novels.

However, the effect is naturally very good, not only shortening the distance, dissipating the boredom of the journey, but also learning from each other and enhancing friendship, which can be described as a multi-task.

Qingque'er was just silent at first, but later, she found it more and more interesting, and listened to it with relish, and even took the initiative to ask a lot of questions.

Sometimes, there were some things that Li Mi was not convenient to ask, and he could also bring them up to the three iron catchers in a timely manner.

They didn't dare to instruct Li Mi too highly, but Qingque'er, a layman, asked them, and they had a place to show off again, which can be said to be very happy, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

In such an atmosphere, they quickly changed to the waterway, and the journey was smooth, and soon came to the boundary of Jiaxing Prefecture.

Jiaxing Mansion is still a short distance from Hangzhou, Li Mi wants to visit the general Wu Weizhong, and needs to go to Hainingwei, but this matter cannot be known to others, so he has to say that he will stay in Jiaxing Mansion for a few days to buy some special products and the like.

Lu Chongning also has a feeling of "homesickness", the closer he gets to Hangzhou Mansion, the more hesitant he is.

After all, he has been studying for many years, and he has always been the hope and sustenance of the Lu family, and now he wants to switch to the Zhang family and do the desperate work with the Japanese Kou, and the trade-off is also quite difficult.

Although the three iron catchers didn't know what Li Mi was going to do, Song Zhiwei, the magistrate, asked them to listen to Li Mi's call, and they didn't dare to be self-conscious.

Moreover, Hainingwei and Jin Shanwei are both on the front line of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and this military report was delivered by Jin Shanwei.

At this juncture, Li Mi came to Jiaxing Mansion and wanted to go to Hangzhou, if he said that it had nothing to do with the investigation of the Japanese Invaders, they would not believe it.

The matter was settled, Jiaxing Mansion is also a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many colorful places, there are many people from the south to the north, and even see a lot of people with color eyes, those with a big beard and a black and white turban of the maritime merchant Apu also came ashore to buy.

Seeing these Arabs, Li Mi was also surprised, so it seems that Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean and the opening of a great route are not without any value, at least the maritime trade has reached a very amazing point.

Li Mi even saw many women of different races in the restaurants and restaurants in the city, enchanting and charming, and incomprehensible, which made people have an illusion of time and space.

However, Li Mi didn't have the heart to appreciate these, got off the passenger ship, everyone arranged a place to live, Li Mi took Yuan Keli's secret letter, bought some gifts, and went to Hainingwei alone.

As I said earlier, the guard system was the basic military system of the Ming Dynasty, but the guard also distinguished different types.

For example, the Tuntian Office, the main function is the Tuntian, and the herd office, which is generally in the grassland, and the military and civilian office, which is generally the place of those ethnic minorities, and the guard, which is generally on the border or coast.

Wei subordinates are under the jurisdiction of the command of the embassy, and the command of the embassy is subject to the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the relationship between them is not so clear on the surface.

According to the needs of the imperial guard, they will generally choose another place to build a city, such as Tianjin Wei, and the Haining Wei Command Envoy who Li Mi is going to now.

Hainingwei should be under the jurisdiction of the Zhejiang Dusi, but because the geographical location is too special and the coast is the first line of defense against the Japanese invaders, it is particularly important.

On the carriage, Li Mi also inquired about the three iron catchers, and Yuan Keli said that Wu Weizhong was a general, and that was already the old Huang calendar.

The so-called general staff generals and guerrilla generals and the like are all rankless, unfixed, wartime orders, after the war to exchange authority seals, but the coastal areas of the Japanese pirates often make trouble, these general soldiers and generals and other official positions, can also be retained, because here can be said to be a state of war every day, but not every day war breaks out, if according to the rules, the Japanese who come and go like the wind have long been gone.

Therefore, the generals of the coastal guards usually have their own official positions, such as Wu Weizhong, who Li Mi inquired about, he is the commander of Hainingwei, second only to the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division.

Seeing that he was about to meet this proud protégé of General Qi Jiguang, Li Mi was both excited and a little apprehensive, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked to the command envoy Yamen.
