And now Li Meng is looking around curiously, with his image, falling in the eyes of others, that is, the standard countryman entering the city, everyone who passes by Li Meng's side is frowning and avoiding, if it weren't for his tall figure, I'm afraid that someone would have shouted and scolded him and drove him away.

Li Meng spent a few pennies to buy a few steamed cakes in the steamed food shop, but no matter how you look at this thing, it is similar to steamed buns, what makes people quite happy is that this steamed cake is actually steamed out of white flour, and it looks much whiter than yesterday's dough cake, which really increases appetite.

As expected by Li Meng, Jiaozhou City is not too big, it is estimated that there are about 2,000 households, which is not as big as a town in a developed area, and Li Meng even doubted whether the statement that Jiaozhou was a big city was an exaggeration when those companions of the Xue family said. But Li Meng also smiled bitterly and found that he also felt that this city was indeed not small, which may be because he was getting more and more accustomed to this era and gradually integrated.

The center of Jiaozhou is the Zhizhou Yamen, which looks very magnificent, but because the officials of the past dynasties do not repair the tradition of the Yamen, it looks dilapidated and abnormal, relatively speaking, the surrounding houses and courtyards are much more magnificent, blue bricks and black tiles, and many people's walls and doors are also rare with some decorations, which should be the rich area of Jiaozhou City.

Two streets away from Zhizhou Yamen, there is a fruit shop that deals in pastries and dried fruits, doing the business of these rich families in the city, the door face is neat and elegant, and the guys who stand at the door and greet customers at the counter are relatively well-dressed.

When the guy at the door was looking around, he saw a tall man in ragged clothes and a full beard walking towards the door, and he hurriedly shouted:

"Go aside, our shop is not something that a poor man like you can come......"

Before he finished speaking, he swallowed, and the poor man strode over, his tall figure was very oppressive, and when he was nervous, the poor man smiled and asked:

"This little brother, I have a relative who works on an errand at the house of the Mu Inspector, and I will ask you where the Mu Inspector's Mansion is."

The guy at the fruit shop said the address with an impatient face, and quickly sent the poor man away, otherwise standing at the door of the store would really affect the business.

After dark, Jiaozhou City was more noisy than the Xue family for an hour, and it quickly fell into darkness and silence.

After Li Meng shook around Jiaozhou City, he came to the door of Mu Inspector's house after dark, the inspection of this salt service is really fat, the rich people's mansions around Zhizhou Yamen, this Mu Inspector Mansion is the most magnificent, although the guy at the fruit shop said it is not clear, but it is really easy to find.

There was a narrow and dead-end road between Inspector Mu and his neighbor's house, and neither the husband who was patrolling the night nor anyone else would come here.

Li Meng curled up in the darkness of this path, even if someone passed by, he couldn't find it, and the people in the mansion where Mu Patrol was inspecting were noisy, obviously drinking and feasting.

The aroma of wine and meat wafted into the alley, Li Meng swallowed his saliva, but at this time, what he remembered was that day when he walked the path and encountered the life-and-death fight of Yanding, after returning to the Xue family's thousands of households, the scene of wolves all over the place, and the old people crying there to grab the sky, this wine and meat is actually the flesh and blood of those poor people!

The night gradually deepened, the entire Jiaozhou City fell into silence, the sea breeze blew through at night, Li Meng, who was wearing a single shirt, felt a little cold, but he was still motionless there.

Around the third watch, the night watchman knocked on the stick and walked through the alley, and he was also fast, and he didn't turn his head to see what movement was in this dead end.

Listening to the sound of bangzi gradually moving away, Li Meng straightened up, moved his numb hands and feet, reached out and took out the things stuffed in his back and waist, removed the cloth wrapped in the outside, and revealed a broken knife of about one foot, which was the waist knife that was cleaned up after fighting with the salt dings, it turned out to be about three feet, in order to make it easier to carry, Li Meng smashed the waist knife, and only about one foot of blade remained.

Biting the knife in his mouth, Li Meng climbed up with the walls on both sides, but fortunately, there were no glass fragments on the wall in this era, and Li Meng easily climbed over the wall and landed in the courtyard.

After landing, there was a roll, and some movement came out, Li Meng hurriedly hid aside, but he didn't alarm anything, to put it bluntly, this is also a mansion for inspection, although the inspection of Yan Zheng is fat, but the official position is just nine products, and he will be a petty official who will enter the stream.

His mansion is big, and there will be no guard, Li Meng is thinking too much, but after entering the courtyard, Li Meng felt that there was a little mistake, because he didn't know where the patrol lived at all, and this mansion was also a courtyard with several entrances and exits, who knew where King Muyan lived.

Whether it is the past or the present, Li Meng does not know what the pattern of this ancient mansion is, there is no contact in modern times, and the Ming Dynasty has never seen the countrymen in this market.

The place where he jumped should be the location of the firewood room, and after walking a few steps inside, he found that the black one really couldn't find a place, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, thinking that he was so tormented, he was afraid that he couldn't find it, and if he walked around, he alarmed other people, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of it alone. If you go out and come back the next day, you will have a lot of dreams at night, and you are afraid that something else will happen.

At this time, there was a creak on the side, the door opened, and a man came out yawning, and when he came to the wall, he seemed to be relieved, and when the man was yawning for the second time, he suddenly felt a little cold on the side of his neck, and he was startled, and suddenly he woke up, and the side of his neck was a knife blade. His mouth was firmly held by the person behind him, unable to make a sound, and Li Meng whispered in his ear:

"Don't shout, watch out for the knife."

A foul smell came, and the person was all untied in his pants, who could care about this at this time, just nodded cautiously, signaling to know, Li Meng said again:

"Take me to the bedroom of the Mu inspection."

It turned out to be so easy, speaking of which, what kind of strict vigilance can there be in the salt administration inspection of a state and county, after all, it is just a nine-grade earth overlord, the man put his hands behind his back, was tied by Li Meng with a strip of cloth, stuffed with a cloth ball in his mouth, and was held against his neck by Li Meng's knife, and walked forward cautiously.

The people are afraid of officials and tigers, and this Mu patrol may not have thought that anyone would enter the city and enter his own house to his own detriment, and there is no prevention at all.

When I arrived at the door of a room, I could see a faint candle flickering in the window......
