Huayin County is not far from Chang'an, but because of the wooden cage prisoner car, it is really not fast, but no matter how slow it goes, there will be a day when it arrives.

Chang'an is the Tang Dynasty, the largest city in the world today, there are not only the people of the Tang Dynasty in the city, but also the caravan from foreign countries, it is really a Quartet to come to the court, because there are too many people in and out of the city, so there is still a mile away from the city gate, the convoy can not travel quickly, can only line up, slowly rubbing forward little by little.

Fu Guibao stood up from his horse, put his hand on the pergola, looked at the city gate, and exclaimed: "Why is this queue so long, there must be tens of thousands of people to enter the city, this team is a mile long, a mile long!" ”

Not only was he surprised, Li Rizhi and Chen Yingying were all surprised, they came from Xingyang, and they had seen a lot of big cities along the way, which was a lot of knowledge, but their knowledge rose to Chang'an, and before they entered the city, their knowledge was refreshed!

Fu Guibao didn't shout very exaggeratedly, there were indeed more than 10,000 people waiting in line to enter the city in front, there were Tang people and foreign businessmen, it looked dense, and 10,000 people, if they were on the Xingyang side, were all on top of a small city, but in Chang'an, they were just people waiting in line at the city gate to enter the city!

The scholars from Zhengzhou also tiptoed and looked around, all surprised, and around them, many people who came to Chang'an for the first time were also like this, marveling at the size of Chang'an, and felt that this was the capital of the Celestial Empire before entering the city, and there was indeed a Celestial Empire.

But there are also many people who have been to Chang'an around, and they are accustomed to this kind of queuing scene, but when they saw Fu Guibao and they made a fuss, these people couldn't help but laugh, they are really local buns from the countryside, they scream so loudly, are they afraid that others will not know that they are very dirty!

Chu Qiangzhi smiled and said: "The time is just right, let's line up this time, then you can go into the city at noon to do things in the afternoon, and after doing things, you can go to the store to rest when it gets dark, I have my own place to go in the city, Li Gongzi, you have to find it yourself, however, I still advise you, stay in the city for two days, it doesn't hurt to go shopping, but you have to stay until the exam starts, of course, you are not afraid, but your companions will inevitably be too stressed!" ”

Li Rizhi said with a smile: "The students also think the same, after two days of visiting the city, they will have to rent a house outside the city, and they still have to study quietly, otherwise the exam will be a joke." ”

Chu Qiangzhi took out a letter from his arms and said: "This is what I wrote to my friend, his current name is Tong Guinu, the previous name does not need to be told to you, in short, you are guarding outside the palace gate, if you see a little eunuch or something like that, tell him the name of Tong Guinu, no one in the palace does not recognize him, and will definitely send you a message, so that you can meet Tong Guinu, after meeting, just give him this letter, and he will naturally take care of you." ”

After handing over the letter to Li Rizhi, Chu Qiangzhi sighed and said, "I'm here to ask for sin this time, so I can't accompany you to see him, but when you come to the capital, you need to experience everything, so whether you can meet Tong Guinu can be regarded as an experience!" ”

Li Rizhi received the letter and thanked Chu Qiangzhi, he knew in his heart that he and Chu Qiangzhi did not have any friendship, but Chu Qiangzhi thought that he would solve the case, so he recommended himself to Tong Guinu, if he couldn't even find a way to see a eunuch by himself, then this ability was too poor, and it was not worth helping, which could be regarded as a test for himself!

In fact, Chu Qiangzhi is quite a good person, although the person he introduced is a great eunuch, for literati, the scholarly temperament, may not like to associate with people like eunuchs, but in fact, if you want to reach the heavens, then befriending eunuchs is the most direct and effective way.

People in the officialdom will not regard befriending eunuchs as something embarrassing, on the contrary, being able to make friends with eunuchs is the ability, relying on means, but for fledgling scholars, they may not be able to pull their faces, so Chu Qiangzhi did not let Li Rizhi go to Tong Guinu, anyway, Li Rizhi will go if he wants to, and if he doesn't go, he will pull him down.

After explaining the letter, Chu Qiangzhi said again: "The matter of the bounty, it is necessary to hand over the prisoner to the Criminal Department, and it can only be issued after identification, and the procedures may be more cumbersome, but it doesn't matter, this money can be advanced by my Huayin County first......"

Li Rizhi hurriedly said: "No, no, this is not in a hurry, just go through the normal procedures, but there is no need for the guarantee of the Chu County order, anyway, the students will have to stay in the capital for a long time, so the bounty is not in a hurry." ”

Chu Qiangzhi nodded and said, "Then after entering the city, you can go to the Criminal Department with me to go through the formalities!" ”

As Chu Qiangzhi expected, although there were many people queuing up to enter the city, the speed of entering the city gate was not slow, at noon, he really entered Chang'an City, the prosperity of the capital of the Celestial Empire, and Li Rizhi and others were dazzled, and everyone said that only such a city could be worthy of the title of the capital of the Celestial Empire.

Chu Qiangzhi didn't dare to stay on the street, escorted the convoy directly to the Criminal Department, went in to hand over the criminals, the officials of the Criminal Department heard that they had caught the cannibal Deng Ao, they were all surprised, many people and officials went to watch Deng Ao, and there were many discussions, holding portraits for comparison, Deng Ao's appearance and characteristics were obvious, and he was captured with a wicked person like Liu Liang, so it would definitely not be mistaken.

A large row of wooden cage prisoner carts were parked in the courtyard of the Criminal Department, and Fu Guibao and them, as meritorious people who had captured Deng Ao, of course, stood next to the wooden cage prisoner carts, and whenever an official came to ask, they would explain how they caught Deng Ao.

Cheng Zizi has always talked little, but Chen Yingying was very excited, she was wearing men's clothes, deliberately dressing herself up as a warrior, but she also put on makeup, so that people could recognize her at a glance as a young girl dressed as a man.

So, onlookers like to ask Chen Yingying, and although Chen Yingying is not as good as Fu Guibao, the big stone that smashed Deng Ao was indeed thrown by her, so no matter how exaggerated she is, the first credit for catching Deng Ao is hers, of course, this is what she thinks, in fact, if she has not been given her as a background Cheng Zizi, then just by she, Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao, it may not be possible to catch Deng Ao!

Li Rizhi followed Chu Qiangzhi to go through the formalities, and when Chen Yingying and Fu Guibao were foaming at the mouth outside, the formalities were successfully completed, and it was a member of the Criminal Department who went through the formalities, and this foreigner completed the formalities with his hands and feet, and after that, he looked at Li Rizhi.

Wailang knew to Li Ri: "Li Gongzi, it's amazing, the man-eating crocodile outside is a murderer who is angry with people and gods, you can take the lead in catching him, although it is too much to use it to benefit the people, but it is absolutely impossible to describe it as a good person." You are a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, and this name is a hit all of a sudden, and according to this official, if you can pass the exam, my family Shangshu will definitely ask you to come here, maybe we will be colleagues in the future! ”

People who have the ability will be respected wherever they go, this outsider usually doesn't talk so much, and he has always been cold-faced and cold-hearted when he gets things done, but when I met Li Rizhi today and knew his ability to solve the case, of course I would greatly praise him.

Of course, Li Rizhi has to be modest, he pondered in his heart, he has solved a lot of cases, the one reported by his uncle before, and the one reported by Cui Tingshi, and now there is this case in Huayin County, the people in the Criminal Department should have heard of my name, right? Well, even if it has been heard, it should have been heard by the person in charge of the case, and ordinary officials should not be able to see the file, so they don't know.

Yuan Wailang took out a pamphlet, turned to the blank page, wrote down the matter of Li Rizhi catching Deng Ao, and then looked up and said: "Li Gongzi, the bounty is 200 guan, this is the amount of the reward offered by our government, but the total amount should be 8,000 guan, and the remaining 7,800 guan must be paid by the noble person who offered the reward, and the money has not yet been solved to the yamen, so I can't give it to you, you have to wait a few days." ”

Li Rizhi said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, anyway, I have to stay in Chang'an for a while, when will it be done, when will I come to pick it up!" ”

Yuan Wailang handed over the pamphlet and asked Li Rizhi to sign his name on it, he said: "The person who paid the money is surnamed Zheng, named Zheng Changshe, and is the grandson of Zheng Fashi, the former doctor of the middle of the court, and his family wealth is innumerable, but the family is unfortunate, and the youngest son was killed by Deng Ao, so he paid a reward, if he knew that Deng O was caught, he would be happy, and in terms of bounty, Li Gongzi does not need to worry." ”

Li Rizhi wrote his name and returned the pamphlet to the staff wailang, who asked, "Where is Li Gongzi staying, and if there is news, where will we notify you?" ”

Li Ri knew: "I just entered the city today, and I haven't found a good place yet, so I can't tell you, why don't you wait to find a good inn in Xia, then come and talk to Lang Jun again?" ”

Yuan Wailang nodded and said, "It's okay, you can come at any time." He put away the booklet and led Chu Qiangzhi to complete the other formalities.

After completing all the formalities, when I came out again, it was not early, and it was estimated that in another hour, it would be dark.

Chu Qiangzhi said: "I still have to go to the Ministry of Officials, so I can't accompany Li Gongzi, let's come to Japan for a long time, and we will meet again in the future!" ”

The two said goodbye, Fu Guibao and they all said goodbye to Chu Qiangzhi, and Quan Shufang and a group of scholars also came over to thank Chu Qiangzhi for taking care of him along the way.

After the matter is done, it is time to find a place to stay, and it is time to have dinner, everyone is hungry, Fu Guibao said: "Everyone, there are so many of us, it is estimated that one inn can not live, it is better to live separately, but tonight's meal, the younger brother will be the east, please brothers, eat a good meal, you say where we go to eat, we will go, don't think about saving me money!" ”

Chen Yingying didn't squeak beside her, her family has an industry in Chang'an, but she has never been to Chang'an, she doesn't know what the Chen family's industry is, so she didn't say hello to the scholars, and she was also a little annoyed with that Quanshu Fang, and she no longer wanted to live closer to him.

As soon as the scholars heard it, someone invited them to eat casually, then of course this is great, it seems that they can't go out of the city to find a store today, and they don't want to go out of the city, although everyone is not too rich, but finally came to Chang'an, but has not lived in the city, and it is embarrassing to say it in the future, so it is necessary to stay for one night.

Someone shouted, "Why don't you go to the restaurant opened by Hu Ren?" I heard that there are a lot of Hu people in Chang'an City, and the dancing girl is very beautiful, and she wears the kind of clothes that expose her navel, twisting and twisting, how about we go and see it? ”

The eyes of the rest of the scholars are bright, they have also heard of how the Hu people are, but they have not seen it in Zhengzhou, and now they have finally come to Chang'an, so they can't see it, look at the Hu people and dance girls, it is not in vain for them to come to Chang'an!

Fu Guibao laughed and said, "Okay, then let's go find a restaurant opened by the largest Hu people, and there must be the kind of dancing girl who twists and twists!" ”

I inquired about it, and there are a few restaurants opened by Hu Ren in the East Market, all of which are with dancing girls, and there are also very strong liquor for sale, but the price is extremely expensive.

But the problem is that Fu Guibao doesn't care about money, so he waved his hand and went straight to Dongshi with all the scholars.
