The wine that came up was all Chinese wine from Wang Qing's wine cellar, which was actually a very good wine. The wine produced by Wang Qing, even at the end of the wine, is better than the good wine sold on the market, not to mention the Chinese wine.

Yang Ling took a sip of wine and said, "This wine is indeed good, you have a lot of vision." ”

"Is that a compliment to me? Then I'm going to take it. Master Guo, come and try this wine, this is our own family-run wine, although it is only the most common wine in the family, but it tastes good. ”

Qu Xiaobai recommended his own wine as if offering treasures, and out of politeness, Guo Jiutai asked casually: "Mu Gongzi's family is in business?" ”

"Naturally, you are in business, if you are an official, how can you be at the mercy of people here? If you weren't in business, how could you have squandered so much money? ”

It is true that she is squandering Yang Ling's ancestral property now, but she will have money in the future, and there will be a lot of money, let her and Yang Ling squander it.

"Is Mr. Chu's family also in business?" Guo Jiutai tried to find out where Yang Ling came from, and for the first time used the title "Chu Gongzi" instead of calling him by his name.

Yang Ling said: "Do business." ”

Qu Xiaobai said in his heart, this question is really funny, he and she are a family, a family, it should be neat and tidy, being a soldier is just an expedient thing. When the enemy soldiers are retreated, if he doesn't come back, she will have to capture him.

She didn't allow him to live a life of licking blood on the head of a knife.

Yang Ling's answer won her heart.

"But your martial arts seem to be good. Those killers are folded in your hands, even some famous swordsmen on the rivers and lakes may not be able to do it. "Guo Jiutai, although he is thoughtful, is not a person who can beat around the bush.

Yang Ling said: "I don't like to do business, but I have been interested in dancing guns and sticks since I was a child. Because of this, he has practiced martial arts, but he is relatively unfamiliar with things in the business field. ”

When Yang Ling spoke gently to people, he really gave people a feeling of being as moist as jade. Admittedly, if he is cold, it will give people the feeling of an iceberg.

Guo Jiutai is not good at grasping people's privacy and asking non-stop, after all, he is not too familiar with others.

Yang Ling didn't mention the case, and Yang Chun couldn't even mention it, only Qu Xiaobai was a talker, but today's Qu Xiaobai didn't seem to have much interest in talking, and he didn't mention the case. After drinking wine for a while, Guo Jiutai had to bring up the case himself: "Young Master Chu, do you think that who is ruthless to you behind your back and wants to kill you?" Consciously asked too bluntly, and added euphemistically: "This county does not want to have another homicide on the ground under its jurisdiction, if there is a general direction, it is easy to prevent it, don't you say, Chu Gongzi?" ”

"I don't know who wants me to die, but I don't think it matters, Lord Guo should put his mind on the murder cases in the Heavenly Master Temple."

Although Yang Ling's eyes were pale, there was obviously something to say, Guo Jiutai tested him and said: "This county thinks that those who attacked Chu Gongzi are likely to be related to the person who did the murder case in the Heavenly Master Temple, and now the case over there has no clue, and even the identity of the deceased is not clear......

"Lord Guo wants to start with my clue?" Yang Ling is very straightforward.

But Guo Jiutai doesn't intend to hide it, he is the county order, and it is his duty to try and judge the case: "This county will not let go of any clues." ”

"That might be going to disappoint Master Guo. I really don't know the identity of the other party, and I don't know why the other party attacked and assassinated me. If Mr. Guo plans to continue to investigate, then I would like to thank Mr. Guo. There are not many responsible officials like Lord Guo in the Daliang Dynasty, after all. ”

Yang Ling was indifferent, took the empty cup in his hand, raised it in front of Qu Xiaobai, and said, "Cousin, give me another cup." ”

Qu Xiaobai picked up the wine jug, but found that the wine jug was empty, so he hurriedly moved a jar of wine to pour it into the jug, poured wine for Yang Ling, and refilled the wine for Guo Jiutai and Yang Chun.

Yang Ling seems to have a lot of appreciation for this county official named Guo Jiutai.

Appreciated. When this word appeared in Qu Xiaobai's mind, Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but be stunned and felt funny. In fact, Yang Ling is just a cloth cloth, if you want to talk about appreciation, it has to be Guo Jiutai who appreciates him, not him who appreciates cloth clothes. The position is reversed.

But Qu Xiaobai just felt that Yang Ling had a kingly spirit that no one could match.

I don't know if it's in the eyes of my lover.

Guo Jiutai said: "The case occurred within the jurisdiction of this county, and the county naturally has responsibilities. If Chu Gongzi didn't know, then the county could only check it again. ”

Yang Chun said: "Lord Guo, this case seems to be very tricky to investigate, do you plan to detain us like this?" After all, we are all businessmen, and every day we spend here loses a day of profit. ”

"I want to ask for Mu Gongzi's understanding. Before the case is solved, after all, no one can say that they are innocent. But don't worry, this official will find out the truth as soon as possible. ”

Yang Chun said lightly: "This is not transferred by human will. If Master Guo can never find out the truth, will he still detain us forever? ”

Yang Chun's words hit the nail on the head, and Guo Jiutai was speechless when he asked.

Yes, who can guarantee that the truth will be found out in the end? After all, there are too many cases in this world that can't get the snow from being wronged.

Guo Jiutai was worried for a while, and said without any momentum: "This county will do its best, if you really can't find a clue, this county will let everyone leave as soon as possible." ”

"But my lord, who will compensate for the losses of our innocent people?"

Yang Ling swirled around with his wine glass, his expression was indifferent and silent, while Qu Xiaobai lowered his head to eat vegetables, glancing at Yang Chun out of the corner of his eye, what kind of road is this guy? Do you want to extract a tooth from a tiger's mouth? It is true that she admires his courage very much, but this Guo Jiutai is just a small county order, what benefit can he give?

She also took a wait-and-see attitude, watching Guo Jiutai and Yang Chun.

Guo Jiutai said: "Master Mu, it is the obligation of every Daliang person to cooperate with the investigation, your compensation, it doesn't make sense, right?" ”

Qu Xiaobai paused.

That's right. Even in her time, it was still recognized that the people did not fight with the officials, let alone in the feudal dynasty of this monarchy.

It's still a decaying feudal dynasty.

Yang Chun's words are too bold and avant-garde.

Yang Chun drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Lord Guo is a county parent official, there is a way, pity the hearts of parents in the world, but what about Lord Guo's parents' hearts?" Is this how Mr. Guo became a parent? ”

Qu Xiaobai took the initiative to refill a glass of wine for him, he pinched the wine glass, and his face was indignant: "Or, Lord Guo is also like some officials, but he is just a person who sells his reputation and even fishes and eats the common people?" ”

Guo Jiutai was speechless when he questioned him.

Qu Xiaobai is still quite sympathetic to Guo Jiutai. If it is another official, Yang Chunyan has a life at this moment. However, this Yang Chun is really good at grasping people's weaknesses, and it can be seen that this Guo Jiutai is a person who loves the people like a son and pays attention to his personal reputation.

"Brother, it's a grievance that you're trapped here, but why are you embarrassed by Lord Guo? Lord Guo, this is also to investigate the case. Let's stay for two days, if Mr. Guo can't close the case and let us go, it's not too late for you to mention this matter to Mr. Guo. ”

Qu Xiaobai sang cheekily with a red face.

Guo Jiutai wants to save face, after all, it is on his territory, if he really wants to make a bad deal, Yang Ling's situation is not very good. Yang Chun, she also wants to see what he wants.

Guo Jiutai climbed down the pole: "Mu Xiaogongzi is right, if the county can't close the case as soon as possible, it will be released to all merchants as soon as possible." ”

"It's naturally good that Master Guo can have this awareness. It's just ......" Yang Chun looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and he was also a little domineering.

The official position of the county magistrate is not big, it is not small, ordinary people still have to be afraid when they see it, but what is the matter with the scholar in front of him who looks like he is high? Guo Jiutai is no matter how honest and dutiful an official is, but he also has his own careful thoughts.

"Just how? Please give me advice. Guo Jiutai was careful.

Yang Chun pursed his lips, smiled, and said: "White Horse Town is the main road connecting the border to the capital, and the merchants who live here are not too much, but they are not too little. Master Guo detains everyone like this, and there are a lot of complaints. If Lord Guo still blindly detains it, causing complaints to spread, and then there are some powerful businessmen, if they sue it, Lord Guo's reputation will ......."

Where to find a selfless parent official who is dedicated to the people, this Lord Guo is already a good official among good officials, but he is still burdened by fame. Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh a little.

Yang Chun, this guy is too good at grasping people's weaknesses.

Guo Jiutai pondered for a moment, with a look of embarrassment, "I know that this move by this county is inappropriate, but what can this county do with such a big homicide case?" Master Mu is famous, and the county has seen that Master Mu has been very familiar with the merchants in the past few days, can you ask Master Mu to help the county and appease the emotions of the merchants? ”

Qu Xiaobai glanced at Yang Chun out of the corner of his eyes. In the past few days that she has been messing with Yang Ling, she hasn't noticed that he is already very familiar with the merchants. Amazing, amazing.

Yang Chun smiled coldly, "Fame or something, but it's all clouds, I'm a businessman now, a businessman, mercenary." Why should I do something that is not profitable? ”

Yang Chun is also very shameless. Qu Xiaobai had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend, and really wanted to respect him, but unfortunately Yang Ling was by his side and was always paying attention to her actions.

Guo Jiutai's face was very ugly. He now regrets it.

When he saw his two brothers with a jar of wine, he should have been vigilant to leave.

But it's too late to say anything now.
