Smelling a hint of gunpowder, Lu Ji hurriedly got up, "I'll go and wash my hands-"

"Whoa-" opened the door with a bang, and a wonderful aroma came to the face. A woman in a pink skirt hurried past the door and accidentally bumped into him.

"Miss, offended!" Lu Ji apologized again and again.

The girl seemed to be frightened, took a silk handkerchief and half-covered her face, apologized a few times, and trotted away with her head down.

"It smells so good—"

Su Xiaozhou sniffed carefully and muttered, "I don't know which spice shop she uses incense, Your Highness may like it." ”

……

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little dizzy.

"I think it's almost the same today, why don't you find an inn and rest early."

Su Xiaozhou was the first to stand up, and if it weren't for Li Yu's timely help, he would have fallen on the wine table.

"Wait! Don't move, all of you. This meal, my brother invited! Lu Ji said with a big tongue.

Knowing his son-in-law's temperament, if he can't grab the wine money, he must be angry for a long time, Su Xiaozhou didn't move, and dragged Li Yu and waited aside.

Lu Ji dug it out for a long time, only to find that the money bag was missing.

When I touched my waist again, my waist was empty.

"Oops...... My jade pendant is gone! ”

Startled, most of his wine immediately woke up.

As soon as he heard him say that Peiyu was gone, Su Xiaozhou's face instantly changed. Everyone in the East Palace knew that it was his mother's relic, his most precious object.

……

Half an hour later, a dark-skinned man with a tiger's back and a bear waist stood in front of Li Yu with a long knife in both hands.

"Joining the army, the two East Palace officials, the lowly "bad handsome" Jin Weiping in Chang'an County. Twenty-two "bad people" from the government government were brought to investigate hidden dangers and maintain order in the West Market according to routine. Dare to ask...... What do you say about the gong in the wine shop? ”

They were on duty well, but suddenly the arrangement was disrupted by the sound of the gong of "walking water". They rushed in from all directions and looked at it, but nothing happened. When I checked the identity cards of the troublemakers, they were all military generals.

In Chang'an City, everything is in demand, that is, there are many high-ranking officials. They worked as errands in the government at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they inevitably dealt with dignitaries and dignitaries, and they also saw a lot of important people above the third grade. Even if it is an official who is in charge of the judicial army of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, he can't play with them for no reason.

Wu pressed dozens of bad people in civilian clothes, and crowded the spacious private room. They were either burly, or their eyes were gloomy, or they all looked a little fierce and vicious, and many of them had tattoos on their faces, all of which were punished for violating the law. They were all once convicted people, and because they had their own strengths, they were recruited into the county government as errand boys, and in the name of "bad people", they were responsible for arresting and arresting thieves and maintaining public order.

"Lord Jin, General Lu of the East Palace has just lost an important object. Therefore, the land is the boundary of Chang'an County, and I have no choice but to ring the gong to ask you to come out to help. Li Yu said politely.

These people are all local snakes, even if they are a few levels older. If you want them to do things, you can only talk about them.

"Huh?"

Jin Weiping's brows moved, "Dare to ask what you lost?" ”

When the wine came up, Lu Ji was a little confused, and danced with his tongue and hands: "I lost it...... That one...... The ...... I brought with me."

Receiving Li Yu's eyes, Su Xiaozhou immediately supported him and entrusted him to Fusheng, and stepped forward to answer for him: "It is a very important personal ornament." If I lose it, I'll wait...... Heads are not guaranteed. ”

Hearing her say this, Jin Weifang's anger disappeared by half.

A fourth-grade general and a fifth-grade general in the East Palace, what can make them lose their lives? Thinking about it casually, I immediately didn't dare to continue thinking about it, it must have something to do with His Royal Highness the Prince.

There are thieves on his borders, and he has stolen such an important thing. If he wants to ask for the guilt, he is a bad handsome man and dozens of bad people under him.

"Dare to ask your lordship? Who can be suspicious? ”

Lu Ji jumped up suddenly, "That girl-girl-"

Su Xiaozhou hurriedly said: "When General Lu went out to wash his hands, he bumped into a young girl in a pink dress. It is likely that she stole it at that time. ”

Jin Weiping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "The girl you are talking about, except that the dress is pink." Do you see what it looks like? What are the characteristics? ”

When he asked, the four of them looked at each other, all speechless.

In just a moment of contact, the girl also covered her face with a silk handkerchief. They didn't see anything at all, except for the color of the dress.

The answer is self-evident, even an old handsome man like Jin Weiping is a little helpless.

"The West Market is so big, with hundreds of shops running across two main streets; Dozens of back streets and alleys, various mansions, inns and inns are full of business travelers from all over the world and all over the world, as well as Chang'an people who beg for a living in the fang market, there are thousands of people. If someone can hide, even if we strictly inspect the gate of the shop and check the large and small shops, it may not be fruitful for a few months......"

Speaking of this, Su Xiaozhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"There's a scent on her. It is a mixture of spices, and the taste is very deep, and it may be a person who has been dealing with spices for a long time. ”

"Spice shop?!"

Jin Weiping did not change his face, and muttered: "Merchants in the Western Regions are concentrated in the West Market, especially those who sell spices. Spice shops are everywhere, not to mention dozens. Even if you interrogate people one by one, when you open the door early tomorrow morning, it may not be completed. ”

At this time, Li Yu stood up, "In that fragrance, there is a very faint medicinal fragrance. If it is not a shop that sells spices and medicinal herbs together, it is a pharmacy in the neighborhood. ”

Although there are many spice shops, this condition can obviously be ruled out by more than half.

Hearing him say this, Jin Weiping immediately came to his senses.

Ma San, Feng Bao, you go back to the government office and invite the master booklet, and ask him to bring the registration book of the shops in the West Market.

"Yes—"

The two unscrupulous people heard the sound and quickly disappeared into the hallway.

Lu Ji was already drunk at this time, and he was asleep on the side, but he didn't know that everyone else was breaking their hearts for him.

Li Yu walked up to Jin Weiping, lowered his voice and said, "I don't know if there is a black shop in the West Market?" ”

Jin Weiping was slightly startled, and arched his hand: "My lord said he was laughing." If the lowly officials had known that there was a black shop, they would have eradicated it long ago. ”

Li Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Jin, I'm not looking for trouble with you, I'm just in a hurry to find the lost items for my friend." You must know in your heart that if the other party is a repeat offender, they may have already sold things out by this time. ”

Su Xiaozhou listened attentively and probably understood what they meant, the so-called "black shop" is probably a black shop dedicated to selling stolen goods for thieves.

"This ......" Jin Weiping hesitated.

If you say that there is, then you are suspected of covering up; If you say no, I'm afraid it will really delay the big thing.

But those shops are taken care of by the adults themselves. If the judiciary joins the army and comes back to investigate, his bad handsome job will be ruined.
