The speed of the codeword is a little slow today, and there is a chapter in the evening. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It was sent at two o'clock, but it doesn't seem to show the starting point...... Resend it.

……

"I heard you say, Miss ran out the day before yesterday to find a male doll to play with, have you found out?"

"I've sent someone to check it again, and it's not much different from before." Zhao Sui'an replied: "His name is Liu Yong, his ancestors are from Hebei, and he has been rooted in Kaifeng Mansion for five generations. His father Liu Qingzhi was a concubine, and he was kicked out by Changfang by dividing his family before he was admitted to fame, and he has been working as a bookkeeper in Wang Ji Merchant since then. At the beginning of the year, when the owner had something to do, he went it alone, earned some money in the west, and now resells medicinal herbs and tea in Jinghu. Mother Liu Mu is the eldest daughter of the owner of Mu Restaurant in the inner city, and she is normal on weekdays. ”

"Westside?" Zhao Shishe's voice raised slightly.

"Yes, Huangzhou in the west. Lord Wang, do you want to ...... that kid" Zhao Sui'an made a gesture to wipe his neck and asked tentatively.

"Hey, don't just fight and kill at every turn." Zhao Shishe stretched out his hand and pressed it, and then said slowly: "Yuanniang is still young, what do you know?" I'll understand when she's older. What's more, what about even a businessman? If Yuan Niang likes it......"

"Lord Wang......" Zhao Sui'an said a little anxiously.

"Sui'an, don't worry." Zhao Shishe patted Zhao Sui'an's shoulder, and then said, "But this kid's father can take advantage of it......"

Among the 400 military states on the 24th Road of the Emperor Song Dynasty, the worst official road cultivation is naturally Qinfeng Road, which has only been stable for a few years, and Guangnan West Road, which is far full of miasma by Emperor Tiangao. And the best official road is naturally Gyeonggi Road.

Although the official road to the west of Tokyo is not as wide as the southeast side, the narrowest part is more than ten zhang wide, and the three or four layers of rammed earth layer make the official road much smoother than the side of it, and even if you can see slender ruts side by side from time to time, it will not affect the speed of the carriage and horse.

On both sides of the official road are two three-foot-deep drainage canals, and when it rains, the slightly protruding road surface in the middle will drain water to the main road to ensure the normal use of the official road.

On the outside side of the drainage canal are weeping willows that are difficult for anyone to hold, and there are one every three or five zhang. Long wicker sticks are even able to hang down to the ground.

On the first day, the road was the smoothest, and I set off in the morning, except for a meal and a break for half an hour at noon, there was no rest. By the time it was night, the carriages and horses had already passed Zhengzhou.

The group did not settle in Zhengzhou, but continued to move forward. It wasn't until it got dark that I found an inn in a small town and stayed there.

"It's been a quick journey."

Meng Sheng got down from the carriage, straightened his clothes, looked at the official road in the distance, and said with emotion. "From Tokyo City to Zhengzhou, there are more than 100 and 50 miles in between. In the early years, this journey could only be reached in two days on a bumpy carriage, but I never thought that now it would take a day's work, and I have walked dozens of miles more, and I am almost in this Mi County. ”

"What this old gentleman said is that in the early years, the roads were not smooth, and it was difficult for cars and horses to pass, not to mention an old man like you, who was close to the old age, even someone of my age had to be rested by bumps for three or five days before he could recover. A few years ago, the official family ordered the renovation of the official road around Gyeonggi Road, and the road condition has greatly improved, whether it is to Jingxi or Jingdong, or Jinghu in Hebei, the past business and tourist people are all grateful for the kindness of the imperial court. ”

Meng Sheng said that in the living room, a poor man dressed as a servant came from the side, looking like he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and arched his hand.

"It's this reason, it's this reason." Meng Sheng nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a return of the courtesy. Although he has no fame, his face as a scholar and the pride of Tokyoites make him unconsciously show a haughty attitude when facing the errand in front of him.

The official didn't mind, as the only way to go to Songyang Academy in Tokyo, there would be a few cuodaes like Meng Shang passing by here every day, and they had seen a lot, and they couldn't be angry.

"This old gentleman, there was a murder here a few days ago, and Qi Sheng was ordered to work here, this is my waist card, and I ask the old gentleman to cooperate and explain the reason." The official named Qi Sheng said very politely.

A few days ago, on the road from Zhengzhou Prefecture to Mi County, a merchant in his forties was murdered, and his body was placed naked on the official road, and the silver money and clothes on his body disappeared without a trace. The Zhengzhou government sent two groups of people to investigate, but there was no result. A few months passed, and the case gradually became a death case, and Qi Sheng, who was at odds with the team leader in the past, was sent here to continue the investigation.

"That's nature." Meng Sheng glanced at the waist card of the servant, which was naturally correct, so he nodded. Then he explained his intentions and showed his group to the officials.

"Mid-Autumn Festival? Take students to Songyang Academy for 'exchange'? Qi Sheng followed the carriage pointed by Meng Sheng and opened two in a row, and found that there were "dolls" of different sizes sitting inside, some were gnawing on the fruit and eating non-stop, some were holding the book and watching absentmindedly, and some were leaning against the wall of the car and falling asleep with saliva. Everything couldn't have been more normal.

"Mr. Meng is really funny, I take the students to run so far during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I admire, I admire." Qi Sheng saluted Meng Shang, then turned around and took his leave. But he didn't notice that at the back of the convoy, the driver of the carriage at the back of the convoy had his right hand on his waist and didn't remove his hand until he left.

"The number of vehicles is wrong!" Qi Sheng went out for a long time and suddenly thought of a question. According to Meng Shang, there were five wagons in the convoy, a total of eighteen students, seven coachmen, and himself. The students were crammed into three carriages, while Meng Sheng sat alone in one carriage. So the question is, what is the extra carriage for? Also, when there are only five carriages, why are there seven coachmen? Tokyo City is not far from Songyang Academy, so there is no need to replace it.

The more Qi Sheng thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he was about to turn back with the handle of the knife on his waist in his right hand. But before he could take two steps, he stopped looking at the dark street in front of him.

He was just a petty official with no character, and he was sent here to investigate the "business trip" because he offended the head of the team in the government office. The case has been going on for a few months, what clues can be found? Moreover, Meng Sheng is a teacher, and it must be normal to go to Songyang Academy when he has something to do, and bring a cart of books. What's more, even if there is a problem, it has nothing to do with the case he investigated, so why should he go to another jar of troubled water?

Thinking of this, Qi Sheng chuckled, turned around again, and walked towards his residence.
