Chapter 113: The Face of the County Cheng

In order to catch the thief as soon as possible, Gao Jin followed Jiang Banxia's method, he released the news of the escape of the flower thief from prison and sent additional officials to inspect the streets door to door.

"Boss, we're just passing by, and we really want to help that Kochi County catch the thief?" He Qiaoyi said with a tired face: "Those thieves are all masters, it's too self-sufficient for us to catch them, right?" ”

"You don't have to catch people." Jiang Banxia pinched the shoulder knife on his waist and said, "After all, the water in Yangqu County and even the entire Taiyuan Mansion is too deep, we just need to know who did it." ”

Besides, it's not their turn to take care of the rest of the matter, and it should be Kochi Prefecture that has a headache.

After tossing all night, the county man came out of the yamen with a yawn, and he faced Jiang Banxia and the others before he could finish his yawn.

The county man went down the steps bitterly and arched his hand: "The two of you are tired all night, why don't you go back to rest?" ”

"I'm tired, but I don't have to help the yamen catch the thief." He Qiaoyi's tone was not very good: "How dare you rest." ”

As soon as the county man heard it, he knew that this messenger was uncomfortable, so he changed the topic and said, "Have the two messengers eaten?" ”

"Of course not." He Qiao leaned on reason; "Where did you get that time to have breakfast?"

The county asked tentatively, "Then have breakfast together?" ”

"Okay." Jiang Banxia immediately responded, and it just so happened that she wanted to ask the county Cheng something.

This Yangqu County is not big or small, in short, the wealth is true, even the proprietress of the street stall is a pearl, and the half-old have to be lined with seven points of charm by the pearl cui.

He Qiaoyi and the county Cheng stared at each other, he thought that the county would invite them to a big restaurant for a meal, but he didn't expect to eat a bowl of noodles casually at the noodle stall!

"The taste of this noodle is very good, our specialty here." The county is a little embarrassed, he doesn't have much money a month, where is the money to invite people to eat in the restaurant.

Jiang Banxia picked up the chopsticks and scooped up the noodles in the bowl to eat, she was never picky about what she ate for dinner, and the family situation of the county did not seem to be very optimistic.

When she was at the gate of the county government just now, she noticed that the pants under the county dress's clothes were patched and patched, and the leather on the outside should be used to support face.

Jiang Banxia put down his chopsticks and asked, "When did you come to Yangqu County to work as an errand?" ”

"The little ones are the ones who were born and raised here." The county man wiped his mouth: "The ancestor is a Yangqu person, and he has always been an errand here." ”

Speaking of this, the county Cheng said in a somewhat complicated mood: "Don't hide the two errands, the younger one has already mixed up with the four magistrates." ”

"The fourth magistrate?" He Qiaoyi, who was sucking noodles on the side, was shocked: "Your magistrate here has changed too often, right?" ”

"It's not, plus Master Gao, it should be the fifth." The county man sighed slightly: "I don't know which master will be next." ”

"Lord Gao is still in office, and it is a little inappropriate for the county to say such things." Jiang Banxia said: "Besides, how do you know that Master Gao has not been in Yangqu County for long?" ”

"This..."The county Cheng found that he had slipped his mouth, and he hurriedly said sloppily: "Didn't the previous masters all leave in about a year, I just guessed randomly." ”

Jiang Banxia chuckled, it's okay to deceive others with such a lie, she doesn't believe that everything is a coincidence.

"Can the county magistrate tell me how the first four magistrates of the county went?" Jiang Banxia asked.

Seeing that Jiang Banxia didn't ask why Master Gao stayed for a short time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he said: "The four masters in front were dismissed because of their bad luck and poor disaster relief because of their political achievements. ”

The specific reason for the county is vague and vague, and he has not explained it clearly, and it is strange that there is no cat.

"Have you eaten yet?" Jiang Banxia looked at He Qiaoyi, who was pouring noodle soup wildly, she suspected that this person was reincarnated as a starving ghost in his previous life.

"Alright, alright." He Qiaoyi let out a sigh of relief after drinking the noodle soup, and he said, "It's so refreshing! ”

Seeing that the time is not early, it should be almost time to step on the spot now, Jiang Banxia picked up the knife on the table and said, "Eat, let's go." ”

"Where to go?" He Qiaoyi quickly wiped his mouth and said, "Let's not go back to sleep?" ”

He hadn't slept much all night, and to be honest, his eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't open them after eating enough noodles.

When the county man who paid the money heard that Jiang Banxia and they were not going back to the inn, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are the two Shangguan going?" The little ones who are familiar with this place may be able to take a ride. ”

Jiang Banxia stared at the county and said, "We're going to Kaiyuan Casino." ”

Since Gao Jin pressed the case down in the court because of the four words Kaiyuan Gambling House, this gambling house is absolutely extraordinary, and you can always find clues if you go to see it.

When the county heard that Jiang Banxia was going to Kaiyuan Gambling House, he shouted that it was inappropriate.

"What's wrong?" He Qiaoyi wondered, when he was in Kyoto, he often went to the gambling house with his colleagues in his spare time, and gambled two dollars for entertainment, what was wrong?

"That's... It's a gambling house after all, so it's not appropriate to go during the day. The county stammered: "Besides, the gambling house will only be lively at night, so it's not interesting to play now." ”

Jiang Banxia laughed with interest: "Then we have to go even more during the day, we don't gamble, wouldn't it affect people's business if we go at night." ”

"This..."The county was shocked by Jiang Banxia's words, and he tried to stop it, but Jiang Banxia didn't put his words in his ears at all, and the county Cheng's forehead was sweating wildly.

"If Lord Xiancheng is so worried, come with us." He Qiao Yiyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the shoulder of the county and said, "It's easy to do things if we have more people." ”

The county Cheng's face turned green, and he said embarrassedly: "The old mother at home is still waiting for me to go back to eat, and the younger one will not accompany the two adults to the gambling house." ”

"Well, then you should hurry home." He Qiaoyi let go of his hand, and the county immediately confessed and left, as if something was chasing him behind him.

Taiyuan Mansion is rich and does not fake, but I didn't expect that the gambling house here is bigger and more luxurious than the gambling house in Kyoto, even if it is daytime, you can hear the noisy voices inside.

"Wow, that's magnificent." He Qiao leaned on his arm and stood in front of the gambling house, he looked up and saw a huge plaque hanging on the door, which read: 'Kaiyuan Gambling House', and the four big characters of bronzing were blatant.

The lanterns hanging under the eaves on both sides of the door are written with cinnabar pens on the word Kaiyuan, and behind the door is a shadow bi, which is carved with large and small copper coins and brushed with gold leaf, which looks arrogant and abnormal.

"Why is there no one guarding the door?" He Qiaoyi stretched out his head and looked inside several times: "Aren't they afraid that other families will come to smash the field?" ”

"It should be that no one dares to smash the field."

The local snake who can make the magistrate suppress the case in court, will someone come to smash the field?

He Qiao leaned left and right, and he found that the Kaiyuan gambling house in the vicinity was still open, and the doors of the other houses were all closed, so he said a little cowardly: "Boss, can't we get in yet?" ”
