In the Tang Dynasty, there was no refrigerator to store ingredients, and Yang Shouwen and his family lived in a small village, and the family of three was bought and cooked, and rarely kept food. In these years, it is a shame to waste! Zhumen's wine and meat are stinking about those high-ranking officials and nobles, like Changping, a bitter cold place, the food is not abundant, even if Yang Chenglie is a county lieutenant, he must take care of his life carefully.

Guan Hu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Yang doesn't have to worry, I brought wine and food with the county lieutenant, and Sister-in-law Yang can make some steamed cakes." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and raised the jar of wine in his hand.

And Yang Chenglie handed Yang a few oil paper packets, and said in a deep voice: "Let people bring wine and food from the county town, leave some for the young lady, and bring the rest." ”

When Yang heard this, he didn't say anything more.

"My son is coming to eat at the bar, too."

Guan Hu followed Yang Chenglie into the main hall and beckoned Yang Shouwen to come over.

However, Yang Shouwen refused, "Uncle doesn't have to worry about me, I don't know how to eat and drink, and I didn't sleep last night, so I'm a little tired." ”

"Rest early, then."

It seems that Yang Chenglie and Guan Hu will not return to the county seat tonight.

It is no wonder that there is no such thing as a city that never sleeps in this era, such as Changping, a county town located in the border wilderness, the city gate is closed as soon as it gets dark, and a curfew begins. Even if Yang Chenglie is a county lieutenant, once the city gate is closed, it is difficult to open the city gate.

It's a rule, it's not about the position.

"Brother, my son's speech is quite normal, but he is not like a sick person."

Sitting in the main hall, Yang prepared two food plates and sent them to Yang Chenglie and Guan Hu respectively.

The people of the Tang Dynasty still maintained the habit of sharing food, and they didn't like to gather together in large pots of rice, and everyone sat around the table. After arranging the food and drinks, Yang returned to the room and began to prepare the main food. And Guan Hu drank a bowl of wine and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's normal to talk, but sometimes it's still confused."

Yang Chenglie said: "If he is sober, how can he follow Erlang to mess around?" Fortunately, his father disciplined him strictly before his death, especially in martial arts, and he never was sloppy in order to practice his current skills. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's dangerous. ”

Guan Hu was quite impressed, and nodded again and again.

"Brother, this sudden succession of deaths is probably going to alarm the county honor.

Wang Xianling is a person who doesn't rub sand in his eyes, if he is more serious, I am afraid that the pressure on our side will be not small. ”

Yang Chenglie tore a chicken leg and bit it hard.

"This matter is very strange, and judging from the results of today's interrogation, the other party may not stop there.

They succeeded in ambushing the fake fangs the day before yesterday, but they didn't get what they wanted, so they revisited the old land last night, but they didn't want to be destroyed by the son-in-law and Jiro...... Tiger, I have an idea to hear from you. ”

"Hehe, brother said that.

But I also have an idea, but I don't know if it coincides with my brother. ”

"Oh?"

Yang Chenglie took a sip of wine, looked at Guan Hu, and smiled.

Don't be deceived by Guan Hu's seemingly rough appearance. If he really looked the same as him, it would be impossible for him to be the head of the arrest team. This arrest squad leader is like the criminal investigation captain of later generations, and he must have a seven-trick exquisite heart. Guan Hu's martial arts are high, and even more than a dozen strong men don't want to leave him behind. But the reason why he was able to become the head of the arrest squad and Yang Chenglie's henchman was because he was delicate and witty.

Guan Hu got up and walked to Yang Chenglie's table, dipped in wine, and wrote the word 'fraud' on the table.

Yang Chenglie laughed, "The tiger really coincides with my thoughts. ”

"My brother deliberately delayed until the end today, and left me behind, so I guessed my brother's intentions."

"That's right, since the murderer didn't succeed, I'm afraid he will still act.

With the manpower in our hands, it is impossible to specially allocate a group of people to stay in the Maitreya Temple, so we can only divert their attention and lure the snake out of the hole. I was going to go back tomorrow, but I found a clue and let those people jump out. ”

"What if they don't jump out?"

"This ......"

Guan Hu said in a deep voice: "Although it is a good plan to lure the snake out of the hole, it is inevitably a little passive.

If they don't come out for a day, we can only wait for a day, there are only a thousand days to be a thief in this world, but there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days. In my opinion, we still have to find out! Not only did they have to investigate, but they also had to investigate with great fanfare, forcing them to jump out. ”

Yang Chenglie nodded lightly and twisted his beard with his hands.

"How do you check?"

"It's easy to do here in the city, just need to increase the number of people and conduct rigorous investigations.

It's the lonely bamboo...... Jiro also said that the murderers were two fangs. We are located here in the wilderness, and there are many fangs. It's easy to do in the city, but there is some trouble in Guzhu. Those fangs only came to settle here last year, and the personnel are already a bit mixed. If the murderer is hiding in it, it will be really difficult. The most important thing is that Lone Bamboo is a state of bondage. ”

Most of the prefectures are self-governing by the Hu people.

From the county commander to the county lieutenant, and even the lowest officer, all of them are composed of Hu people.

Yang Chenglie couldn't help but tap his forehead lightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This matter is really troublesome...... In this way, tiger, you first start to arrange the matter of luring the snake out of the hole, and at the same time strengthen the security of the county. The affairs here in the state are best known to the county. This is related to the laws of the imperial court, and even if you and I want to act, we must be careful. ”

"I understand."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yang Chenglie and Guan Hu chatted while eating and drinking, and the night passed unconsciously.

They didn't sleep, and neither could the Yang family, so they stayed up with them until dawn. After dawn, Yang Chenglie did not wake up Yang Shouwen, so he left in a hurry with Guan Hu. Yang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, but it was followed by another busy day.

After Yang Shouwen woke up, he helped Yang clean the room.

He didn't go out at noon, and accompanied the young lady to rest in the flower garden. It's cold, winter is coming soon, and you need to be prepared in advance.

After tidying up the flower garden, Yang Shouwen sat on the porch in a daze.

The young lady walked up behind him lightly and stretched out her little hand to cover his eyes, "Brother son, guess who I am?" ”

"Well, let me guess...... It's so fragrant, it must be my little young lady. ”

As he spoke, he turned around abruptly and picked up the young lady.

The young lady couldn't help but giggle, she put her arms around Yang Shouwen's neck, and said coquettishly: "Brother son, tell the story to the young lady." ”

"Storytelling?"

Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, and a spiritual light suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Young lady, have you heard of Master Xuanzang?"

Yang Youniang shook her little head and said with a blank expression: "What does Master Xuanzang do?" ”

"He's a monk."

"Monk? Is it just like the bare on the mountain? ”

"Uh...... Young lady, let's call this in private, in front of others, it is better to obey a mage. ”

"But they're really bare."

Reasoning with a little girl is sometimes a very hard thing.

Fortunately, when the Yang family passed by, he heard the young lady say this, and immediately dissatisfied: "Young lady, how can you be so rude, you are not allowed to call the mage like this in the future." ”

Yang seems to believe in Buddhism, but he is not a fanatical believer.

The young lady pouted, muttered quietly, lowered her head and wrapped the belt around her fingers, round and round...... It seems that there is some grievance.

"Auntie knows Master Xuanzang?"

"Oh, I've heard of it, it seems to be a mage from the time of Taizong.

I have heard that in order to obtain the true Fa, he traveled thousands of miles to Tianzhu and experienced many dangers. In addition, he also wrote a "Tang Dynasty Western Regions", which was written about what he saw and heard on the way west. However, I haven't read the book. ”

That's right, the Tang Dynasty Western Regions!

Yang Shouwen suddenly understood what he wanted to do.

"Auntie, is there any record of the Tang Dynasty in the county?"

"Then I don't know...... I'm going to go into the city to buy some fabrics later, and if my son wants it, I can go to the museum and ask.

But, do you understand, son? ”

Yang didn't remember that Yang Shouwen had read, so he wasn't sure.

Yang Shouwen said: "If there is, bother Aunt Lao to bring a book...... In addition, if my aunt goes to the county seat, there are still some things that I want to trouble. I have two dollars here, and my aunt looks at buying some wine, and if you don't need good wine, you can buy as much as you want. ”

"Huh?"

Yang looked at Yang Shouwen in amazement, with a puzzled expression.

"Do you want to eat and drink? It's a lot of money! If the son wants to eat wine, I will bring back a jar. ”

"Oh, my aunt misunderstood, I didn't buy wine to eat wine, but for another purpose, so I don't have to ask."

"Okay then."

Yang took the leather bag from Yang Shouwen's hand and tied it around his waist.

She cleaned up a bit, and told the young lady not to be naughty, and then walked out of the courtyard gate and went to the county seat.

Seeing that the Yang family was far away, the young lady was immediately resurrected, "Where are people naughty, the most disobedient is the son-in-law brother." ”

The young lady muttered, looking aggrieved.

Yang Shouwen couldn't help laughing, hugged her and sat on his lap, "In that case, let the naughty son-in-law tell a story to the obedient young lady, okay?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

"The story we're going to tell today is a story about monkeys."

Yang Shouwen scratched the young lady's little nose, thought about it, and organized the language: "The poem says: Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one sees it. Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Zi Qing to distinguish ......"
