Inspector Yamen.

"My lord, where do you put so many things?"

"Is there a room in the yamen?"

"Yes is ......"

"After the inspection, find an empty room and put it in the evidence room if there is no value, and put the rest in the evidence room." Meng Yan thought for a moment and commanded.

"Brother Meng, such a big formation, but it really scared my brother." Niu knocked vigorously on the door and said with a smile.

"Old Niu, please take a seat, I didn't greet you at the Hejian Hall just now, I won't blame the little brother, right?" Meng Yan said enthusiastically.

"No, you're investigating the case, busy, understandable." Niu Dali smiled and sat down.

"Someone, make tea."

"No, I'm not thirsty." Niu vigorously shook his hand and said, "Master Fu asked me to assist you in handling the case, and in the next few days, I will have to eat with you in the same pot." ”

"Uncle Fu asked you to help me?"

"Yes, the patrol envoy Yamen is not manpowered, and there are not many people available around you, so I came, my brother won't be unwelcome, right?"

"No, welcome, welcome, old cow, you can come, that's great, I'm worried about not having enough manpower."

"Then brother, if you have anything, just give me an order, you can do anything." Niu vigorously stood up and said.

"Okay, good, hahaha......" Meng Yan was in a good mood.

"But brother, as an elder brother, I have to remind you that the water in this river hall is very deep, so try not to touch it if you can." Niu Dali cautioned.

"Did Uncle Fu tell you to say this to me?"

"Master Fu said it, but the elder brother also reminds you." Niu vigorously said.

"I see. Thanks for the reminder. Meng Yan agreed, he is not a fool, Liao Junjie, the shopkeeper of the Hejian Hall, is a character, if he is an ordinary person, in front of the officials, he has his attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and he is still so free to advance and retreat?

This is something that ordinary people can do, of course, maybe he feels that he is just a small fifth-grade official in his heart, and it is not worth mentioning.

But Liao Junjie is a person. It must not be an ordinary person.

"That's fine. The old cow retired first! Niu vigorously clenched his fists.

"Please!"

"Lord Qiyu, Deputy Fan asks to see you!"

"Let him in!"

"Whoa!"

"Fan Xiping, see the inspector Master Meng."

"Old Fan, you came to see me, did you have a result?" Seeing Fan Xiping's happy face. Meng Yan couldn't help but smile as well.

"Adults will know as soon as they guess. After comparison. One of the eight people found under the mark is very similar to the technique of repairing the doors and windows of the railing of Suxinzhai. Fan Xiping said.

"Similar, have you asked someone to identify it?"

"I was about to ask an adult to come forward."

"You mean, let this official go and ask Lord Kuaixiang to help?" Meng Yan understood what Fan Xiping meant.

Similar in technique alone. It is not yet certain that this craftsman is the person they are looking for, after all, a master is called an apprentice, and the habits of the skill may have the habit of teaching by the master's words and deeds.

"I'll help you with this, you bring the things made by the two of them to the official, let's go see Lord Kuaixiang together!" Meng Yan immediately commanded.

"Whoa!"

Fan Xi ran out in a hurry, but Meng Yan knew that it was a little rude to come directly to the door like this.

"Someone!"

"It's Mr. Cai."

"What did you call me?" Cai Jin was called, and he was a little unclear.

"Mr. Cai, do you know what this Lord Kuaixiang likes?" Meng Yan asked.

"My lord, are you going to visit Lord Kuai?" As soon as Meng Yan opened his mouth, Cai Jin understood what he wanted to do.

"Yes, Lao Fan found the carpenter who was suspected of repairing the railing of Su Xinzhai, and wanted to ask Master Kuai to help identify whether it was from the same craft." Meng Yan explained.

"The old man heard that Lord Kuai prefers pig's head meat, especially the Mijia pig's head meat in Goldfish Hutong, and every once in a while, he asked his subordinates to cut two catties of pig's head meat and drink wine."

"Mr. Cai, we can't bring two catties of pig's head meat when we come to visit, right?" Meng Yan couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of bad idea was this?

"My lord, this Mi's pig's head meat is not so easy to buy, you have to book in advance, the quantity is limited, and it has basically been bought out before it is taken out." Cai Jin said with a smile.

"Mr. Cai is hungry?"

"To be honest, it's really a bit greedy, but as long as there is such a store, some will definitely be reserved, the purpose is to give some dignitaries and dignitaries to the door suddenly, if you go, maybe you can buy it now." Cai Jindao.

"This Mi family is really good at doing business, okay, this official is not the kind of person who sticks to etiquette, so let's take a look." Meng Yan's heart moved, this Kuaixiang is an upright official, with superb skills, and he can be regarded as a transcendent status in the court.

This kind of person, ordinary things are not in his eyes at all, and if they are too valuable, he will definitely not accept them, not to mention that he Meng Yan does not need to rush to slap him.

"My lord, I'm ready, when are we leaving?" Fan Xiping came in with a bunch of things.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Cai, the official will change his clothes, and you two will come with me." Meng Yan commanded.

"Whoa!"

Meng Yan and the three of them changed into civilian clothes, and when they came out, it was already gray, and it was almost dark when they saw it.

"Mr. Cai, this is it, right?"

"Yes, I've been here once, you don't know, the fragrance of this pig's head meat, as long as you enter the mouth of the alley, you can smell it."

Meng Yan sniffed, and sure enough, a strong fragrance came to his nose, making people can't help but swallow their saliva.

"It's really fragrant, Mr. Cai, if you don't say it, I really didn't know there was such a good thing here." Meng Yan Road.

"Hehe, Son, you usually go in and out of a big scene, and this kind of small place rarely has the opportunity to come."

"That's right, let's go, let's see."

Walking inside, it was only two or three hundred meters away, a shop next to the street, and the sign at the door read "Mijia Roast Meat" four big characters, and the very colored font was a little peeling. However, there is no trace of gray layer on it, and it is obvious that this brand is often wiped.

The shop was already closed, and it was clear that they were late.

"Childe, shall I knock on the door?"

"No, I'll do it myself!" Meng Yan walked into the door, reached out and knocked lightly on the door frame.

"Who?" An old voice came from inside the door.

"Old man, we are here to visit. I've heard that your pig's head meat is a must. Want to buy a little and try it? ”

"I'm sorry, guest, today's sale is gone, wait for tomorrow."

"But we've come a long way to get here. The purpose is to try your pig's head meat. (You know.) Pig homonym Zhu. In the Ming Dynasty, it was taboo, so it will be replaced by other onomatopoeia, and you don't have to take it seriously here)

"It's late. Guests come back tomorrow, the old man will leave you a good piece. ”

"Old man, we don't want much, you can cut two catties for us." Meng Yan said loudly outside the door.

"Hui'er, open the door." The person inside seemed to think for a while before agreeing to open the door.

"Hey, Daddy!" A crisp girl agreed, moved her steps, came quickly, and opened the door.

"This girl is polite!"

"So many of you?" The little girl was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pair of pigtails, bright and lively eyes, and a flushed face, looking flattering.

"Miss Hui'er, we're all in this together." Meng Yan hurriedly explained with a smile.

"How do you know my name?" Mi Hui asked in surprise.

"I just heard that the old man in the house changed you Hui'er, I guessed, this is your name, right?"

"Well, come in, grandpa is going to cut the pig's head meat for you!" Mi Hui put Meng Yan and the others into the courtyard.

"Guest, this is the pig's head meat you want, two catties and four taels, and eighty Wen!" After waiting for a while, an old man with gray temples and a ruddy face came over with a bag of pork head meat that had been cut.

"Thank you, old man!" Meng Yan stretched out his hand to take it, handed over a piece of broken silver, and paid the meat money in his hand, which was enough.

"Guest, this is too much, I will find you money?"

"No need, I'm bothering you so late." Meng Yan smiled slightly, "Mr. Cai, Lao Fan, let's go." ”

"What a weirdo, grandpa."

"Hui'er, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and eat." The old man's eyes were like torches, although he didn't know Meng Yan's identity, but from the other party's speech and demeanor and bearing, it could be seen that the youngest of the three was the master, and the other two were retinues or servants.

Moreover, this young man speaks politely, well-behaved, and does not have that sense of domineering at all, which is far better than those people.

"Mr. Cai, this family is a little strange, why don't you see the old man's son, daughter-in-law, and only one granddaughter?" Out of the Mijia barbecue shop, Meng Yan glanced back strangely.

"The prince is suspicious of everything, what's so strange about this, it's not uncommon for sons and daughters-in-law to die, and grandchildren depend on each other." Cai Jin said with a smile.

"So, this Mi family's roast meat is going to be passed on to a girl in the future?"

"Son, the life of this common people is originally full of ups and downs, not to mention, it is difficult for this Qing official to cut off family affairs, what do you say?"

"Well, what Mr. Cai said makes sense, let's go, let's hurry to Kuaifu!" Meng Yan nodded, he was a little nervous, this case was investigated, and everyone who saw it was suspicious.

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"This Lord Kuai is so good that he is also a Langzhong, an official of the fifth grade, and he is still a master builder, why is his residence so simple?"

Kuaixiang presided over so many major projects of the imperial court, and the three major halls were repaired beautifully, which can be called artistic masterpieces.

For such a big project, you can make your home exquisite and beautiful with a little scraps.

But he just didn't do this, strictly controlled the budget, and saved a lot of money for the imperial court.

"Oh, Lord Meng, rare guest, rare guest, please come in ......" Kuai Xiang wore a working skit, and personally welcomed Meng Yan into the mansion.

"It's so late, and Lord Kuai hasn't rested yet?"

"I'm a person, I can't sleep less than three days a day, come, serve tea, serve tea......"

"These are all disciples of Lord Kuai, right?"

"A few of you, come here, I've seen the inspector Master Meng!"

"Hello Lord Meng!"

"Good, good!"

Kuaixiang suddenly sniffed a few times, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "How can I smell the smell of Mijia pig's head meat?" ”

"Lord Kuai is really sensitive to smell!" Meng Yan laughed, took out the still hot pig's head meat from his arms and put it in front of Kuai Xiang.

"How does Master Meng know that Kuai likes to eat this Mi's pig's head meat the most?" Kuaixiang was pleasantly surprised.

"When this official asks someone to do something, he always has to do what he likes, right?" Meng Yan said with a smile. (To be continued......)
