"Look at their robes and mounts, it should really be Jinyiwei, strange, why did Jinyiwei come to our Jixi County?"

Rong Zhi looked at the backs of Shen Mu and their group and muttered to himself.

"Look, Brother Rong, what you said, why did this Jinyiwei come to Jixi County, you don't know the county lord, how do we know about it."

In the box, the blue-robed boy who was playing against a man in white laughed and joked.

Jixi County is worthy of being a place of talents, and although the four people in this box are not very old, their appearance is distinctive.

Rong Zhi was a little older, just an ordinary scribe, wearing a blue and white jade robe embroidered with a few light bamboo leaves.

There is no official authority of the county lord, just like Han Lin said, this person's affinity is good, and he is in the same room, feeling very comfortable and not depressed.

The young man in an apricot-colored robe who first looked at the scenery by the window and found Shen Mu was probably fifteen or sixteen years old, slightly thinner, but his appearance was a little more feminine, very beautiful, but he was still in the period of voice change.

In the rest of the room, there were two people playing against each other, although the boy in the blue robe was also dressed as a scholar, but his appearance was a Chinese face, with a straight nose and a square mouth, very heroic and resolute, and he didn't look like the face of a literati.

"Why didn't Brother Shen speak?" The boy in the apricot-colored robe returned to the chess table where he was playing, and asked casually in a hoarse voice the boy in white who had not spoken and kept looking down at the chessboard.

When the white-clothed man heard this, he didn't look up, and the chess pieces in his hand paused for a moment before continuing to be placed on the chessboard, and then said in a somewhat cold, meaningless, and ridiculous tone: "No matter who this is, those who should come will eventually come, and those who should go will eventually go, and you and I can't stop it." ”

"Brother Shen is still calm, too, this brocade guard can come if he wants to, I think they don't dare to act too unscrupulously in our Jixi."

The young man in the apricot-colored robe leaned back on the couch next to him, opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it a few times very casually, and his tone was full of care.

However, the blue-robed boy looked at Rong Zhi, who was the county magistrate, and kept standing in front of the window, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked with concern: "Why didn't Brother Rong speak, could it be that he had really encountered some trouble recently?" ”

"Oh, there's no trouble, it's because I haven't encountered any trouble, I don't know why Jinyiwei came to this county?" When Rong Zheng heard this, he turned around and smiled bitterly.

"Brother Rong doesn't have to worry too much, you have outstanding political achievements, it is difficult to find a few of our Ming Dynasty county orders that can be comparable to Brother Rong, and you have never offended that Jinyi Guard, what are you afraid of?"

"A few younger brothers don't kill as brothers, being a brother is just in his position and seeking his position, and he is far from doing well enough, not good enough, ashamed of himself, ashamed of himself!"

"Yes, it's not too early this day, when Brother Shen and I finish this game, after dinner, let's all disperse, let's get together another day."

At this time, the blue-robed boy saw that because of Jinyiwei's arrival in Jixi County, the few friends present seemed to be less stable, and this chess game no longer had the original taste, so he suggested at the moment.

"It's okay, let the shopkeeper serve the food, Brother Shen came from afar, although it was the first time he met, he was familiar at first sight, so he had the right to pick up the wind for you." Rong Zhi said to the man in white at this time.

……

After Shen Mu and the others entered Jixi County, the last place they settled was still the official post house in Jixi County.

Compared with the post house in Taiping County, the post house in Jixi County is more high-grade, and it is divided into three or four independent courtyards.

The scenery in the courtyard is also typical of Jiangnan architectural style.

The service of the postmen is even more star-rated service.

Liang Baihu and their group are not many people, but they have a special identity and still occupy a large courtyard.

The group was hungry, and by noon, the food they had used in the restaurant had been consumed, and they were really tired and thirsty.

Beckoned the guards to bring bath water to their rooms.

Shen Mu lay in the bathtub and made his mind sober and sober.

Although he followed Liang Baihu out of Taiping County this time, it was to track down the matter of the thief monk Tan Zhen.

But about the situation of Tan Zhen in Jixi County, Liang Baihu did not tell him the details, which made it impossible for him to start his analytical reasoning.

Now I can only follow the pace of Liang Baihu.

As for the case of the old beggar's son, he had always felt that something was wrong there, but now he was lying in the bathtub, and his mind had cleared up a little.

He finally knew that something was wrong with this case, it turned out that in the old beggar's account, in addition to always stating that his son could not kill, the old beggar did not provide another suspicious candidate for the murderer, so that they had no target at all.

There is no object of reference and suspicion, the old beggar's son has been beheaded for three years, and it is indeed difficult to really find out this case.

This also involves the Jixi County Order, if this case is really wronged, this person has been dead for three years, and the person cannot be resurrected after death, and the Jixi County Order sentenced such an unjust, false and wrongful case, what kind of responsibility should be borne according to the Daming Law?

After a brief freshening up, Shen Mu came to the main hall and dined with Liang Baihu and them.

After eating, it was getting dark, and Shen Mu planned to take a look at the night view of Jixi County, so he said to Liang Baihu: "My lord, the kid wants to go for a walk on the street." ”

"Go ahead!" Liang Baihu glanced at him and agreed.

Waiting for Shen Mu to leave the main hall, Liang Baihu said to Han Lin: "Let Meng Yun and Xiao Qi follow, since this kid has already been involved in our affairs, maybe the people of the Maitreya Sect have already targeted him, and he is a powerless one, don't be cut down on the street." ”

"Yes, sir." Han Lin once again confirmed that the attention of the Hundred Households Adults to this Shen Mu was definitely not ordinary.

Let's say that after a few people in the restaurant here had dinner, a few people walked out of the restaurant together.

They did not take a sedan chair, but walked home one after another.

"Childe, you're not in good health, it's cold this night, don't be cold, let's go back in a sedan chair."

A little boy in a green coat stepped forward and followed behind the boy in an apricot-colored robe.

"Just your verbosity, I said that I would walk back and go back, your son-in-law just happened to consume food."

As the apricot robe boy spoke, he knocked the little girl's head with the fan in his hand.

"Childe, you're beating me again."

"What, Childe, what did I do to beat you?"

It also happened that Shen Mu happened to walk not far from the restaurant, but it was because the voice of the apricot robe boy was the same as that of a duck, so he couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times.

"Hey, why does this boy look so much like a woman dressed as a man? It's just that this voice ......"

"Hey! What do you look at this son? ”

This apricot robe boy drank some wine in the restaurant just now, and he was already a little drunk, coupled with his feminine appearance, he usually hated people staring at him the most, but Shen Mu was really staring at him because of curiosity at this time, and immediately asked with a horizontal eyebrow.
