The officials who were not qualified to carry swords ran through the corridors and courtyards, and then knocked on every room in each courtyard, and in each room, the soldiers of the criminal department who were just sleeping lightly with swords opened their eyes, and their pupils were full of bloodshot and exhaustion.

And after hearing the order summoned by the officials, there was a kind of relaxation that had finally come to an end, and an excitement and anticipation mixed with a sense of revenge.

The excitement of finally reeling the big fish in the net.

After shouting twice, the servant, who was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, ran out again, his steps were light and agile, like a young deer, and there seemed to be infinite energy surging in his young body.

Young after all.

It's just that young people tend not to care about this capital.

A middle-aged head catcher with broad shoulders and slender arms smiled, his eyes were a little emotional and gentle, and then there was a little pity, there was such a young man in his hands, although he was delicate, but he seemed to have inexhaustible strength all day long, and he never felt tired.

It's a pity that God's preference for young people in him seems to have finally run out a few days ago, and he still can't bear the increasing pressure and takes sick leave.

This matter was originally out of order, but I don't know where Zhang Xiaoyu found the nobleman, it was the person who came from the household department to ask for it, and he didn't go through the unintentional chief, so he dealt with it according to the usual practice, paid three months' salary, and let him go home.

When Japan invited him to drink a bowl of wine, it was a pity......

The middle-aged man flashed a thought in his mind, and at the same time, the appearance of the shy young man who didn't talk much flashed and sighed.

Raised his hand and patted his cheek, making a snapping sound, and then started a cold and biting water, soaked in a towel, and the originally soft towel was mixed with the biting cold of the autumn night, heavy.

Then he held the towel with both hands and slapped it on his cheek, the cold stimulated the pore to tighten, and the brain instantly became much clearer, and even the internal qi in the body, which was originally slow-running, seemed to have some kind of help since then, and began to accelerate, even with the transportation of qi and blood, stimulating the muscles, and waking up from the symptoms brought by light sleep.

He casually put the towel on the iron basin, held a lamp in one hand, pressed a knife in the other, pushed the door out, and what caught his eye was clusters of flames.

Like a spark, it walked out of the various small courtyards of the entire Yamen of the Criminal Department, and immediately gathered, like a long snake, silent.

He took a deep breath of air, cold and biting, like a knife blade.

After the tea time, more than 100 soldiers of the Criminal Department put out the lights and walked out in groups.

Like a tiger pounced at night, silent, and at the same time, there was also a gray, delicate and small bird, flapping its wings from the lobby of the Criminal Department, like an arrow, shooting in the direction of Beicheng, without the slightest hesitation.

………………

Tie Lin and Wuxin walked at the forefront.

In other words, the order that everyone in the Criminal Department received was to stand by in the middle of the two markets, and once they received the order, they immediately surrounded it according to the original plan, and they attacked together with many followers arranged by Wuxin before.

And the two of them are faster on their feet, and their martial arts are high enough, enough to identify the information of the two gamblers during this time, and confirm which one is the real 'victim'.

At that moment, the two warriors were speeding in the night wind, and in order to be as concealed as possible, they did not use the ability to connect the heavens and the earth with their qi machines, and their speed was extremely slow.

The closest to the Yamen of the Criminal Department is the March Fang, if the two are connected as points, I am afraid that the distance will not exceed thirty miles, but if you want to follow the route, it will be more than double.

The frequency of Wuxin's footsteps was extremely stable, and he didn't hesitate to go in which direction he was going and where to turn, as if he had already memorized a huge map of Liangzhou City in his mind, and Tie Lin only followed behind him.

In a short time, the two of them had arrived at March Fang.

The archway of March Fang under the night all looks a little gloomy and weird, the black and red pillars are pasted with couplets on the top, it is pasted during the Spring Festival, the wind and sun in the past half a year, the rain beats the frost knot, fades away the original red, becomes pale.

The bluestone road stretches straight, reflecting the cold moonlight, and it is white.

Unintentionally step into it first.

Although March Fang is not the most prosperous place in the city, the architectural style is quite plain, most of them are residential, but this place is not far from the major yamen, and the hidden land price is extremely high, not inferior to the most central part of Liangzhou.

If you can have a house here, at least they are small and wealthy families, and you don't have to run around to keep warm from hunger and cold. If it is an ordinary person, it is hard to believe that there are people who gamble their family property here.

But Tie Lin Wuxin is a person in the criminal department of Tianjing City, and he reads the files every day, and the more bizarre people are not unseen, knowing that this kind of family has a small fortune and does not need to work hard for food and clothing, but it is the most likely to fall into gambling addiction.

The empire has been ordered repeatedly, and gambling houses around the country are often extremely difficult to eradicate, today Zhao Moumou, tomorrow it will be Wang Moumou, Li Moumou, like spring grass, one after another, it is because of these people's 'offerings'.

After the two entered the March Fang, they did not say a word all the way, and their footsteps did not stop, first turning right into the alley, and after walking, they went west again, and then turned west, and finally stopped at the gate of a courtyard.

Tie Lin saw that this courtyard was no different from other courtyards, although the inside was small, but it was quite beautiful, the tired stone was a mountain, and one side of the wall was inlaid with a large white ashlar, and the words were engraved on it, as a stone tablet, and then the vines fell from above.

If you push the window from Xiaoxuan on the second floor, you can see the green eyes, like the scenery of the mountain and rock monuments, which is the so-called elegance that those who read the book like.

Elegance? Is it elegant to gamble?

Tie Lin sneered in his heart.

At the moment, I was about to knock on the door, and found that Wuxin had raised his hand to wipe the copper lock chain on the door, and the large brass chain weighing dozens of pounds was directly broken, and the locked wooden door was easily pushed open in a creak.

Although the voice was small, it was still a little harsh in the night, Tie Lin subconsciously took a step forward, unintentionally blocking the action, at the same time, pressing the sword with his right hand, he glanced at the left and right extremely alertly, and waited until he subconsciously made this series of covering actions, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Wait, wait, isn't this a thief?!

As a criminal department, shouldn't you knock on the door and visit and act according to the rules??!

He knew that he was acting unintentionally, and he gradually crossed the line, but he never thought that it was already everywhere, and at this time, he suddenly understood why the chief catcher sent himself out as an unintentional follow-up this time, instead of letting him act alone as before.

The chief catcher was afraid of him, for fear that one day he would find out that his right-hand man had become a fugitive from the criminal department in a certain place.

Tie Lin's thoughts stiffened slightly, and his eyes widened.

This......

This can't have happened before, has it?!

Wuxin pushed the door open and said calmly:

"Let's go, time is pressing."

Immediately, without waiting for Tie Lin to answer, he had already flashed into the courtyard, Tie Lin had no choice but to go in, and after entering, he was able to notice that although this courtyard looked good from the outside, in fact, traces of decay could be found faintly, and it was obvious that the owner here was not as prosperous as he was from a distance.

Also, if there is a gambler in the family, it is enough to drag down all the wealthy households, let alone big gambling?

Facing the gate through a side door, turn twice, first the side room where the servant lives, and then you can see the house where the master's family lives, there is a small pavilion on the second floor, and a pavilion on the top floor, but it looks solid.

At this time, the house was pitch black, and it seemed that the owner of the house had gone to bed early, and Tie Lin remembered that the owner was a young couple.

The woman was nearly 30 years old, and often had conflicts with her neighbors, and on several occasions she went directly to the criminal department, and was written down so that he knew it.

At this time, he had arrived at the door, and a trace of hesitation appeared in Tie Lin's heart, if this young woman was sleeping in the house now, and the two of them broke into it, it would be extremely rude, if it was about to make trouble, although it was not afraid, it would also add a lot of trouble.

Just as he hesitated, Wuxin had already raised his hand to push the door open, Tie Lin didn't react for a while, and only after Wuxin went in, did he realize that his junior brother had done something, and immediately heard the screams of the women inside, and then there was a spicy and piercing scolding.

"Who are you?"

"The criminal department handles the case, offended."

"Your mother! When you go out with your aunt and grandmother, you're asking for money again, right? Don't think I don't know! ”

"I'm telling you I don't know anything, I don't know where the dead ghost is, if you have the guts, kill me, or I'll find someone to make you look good, my brother is ...... under the city of Liangzhou"

Even if it was another scolding, this person scolded extremely harshly, almost the descendants of the ancestors who fell out of the unintentional came over and over again, he was not afraid, but extremely calm, obviously this kind of thing has been experienced many times, has been numb, and his heart is not rippling.

On the contrary, the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and all kinds of unbearable words were said again and again, and it was almost impossible to imagine that this was from the mouth of a woman.

Tie Lin complained bitterly in his heart, feeling that things were a little tricky, since he was experienced, he naturally knew that this kind of person was the most difficult to deal with, entangled, he needed to see the benefits before he was willing to let go, if he wanted to know something from their mouths, he had to spend money, and it took more effort.

Even if they take one step or two back, even if they take ten steps, the problem of this matter will fall on them, breaking into people's houses at night is untenable in any case, even if it is stabbed all the way to the head catcher, it is a problem that cannot be ignored.

But as soon as this spicy and piercing scolding rose, it was suppressed by a loud roar, Tie Lin's expression changed, his heart was not good, he didn't care about anything, he leaned in, and then he shot into the moonlight and saw the scene in the house.

The woman, dressed in a single garment, seemed to be about to wake up, and was still half-seated on the bed, most of her body covered by a quilt, and her face was still pungent, like ink dripping into clear water, and before it could be smeared, it was covered with fear.

Tie Lin's heart shook, he couldn't help but gasp, his eyes drooped, and he saw a standard long knife of the punishment department, which had been completely unsheathed and went straight to the woman's neck.

The cold blade grew colder under the moonlight, prompting large goosebumps to appear on the woman's fair skin.

The woman had obviously never seen such a disagreeable figure drawing her sword, and she was shocked, her eyes widened, and her chest rose and fell erratically, obviously extremely frightened.

Tie Lin couldn't help but say:

"Senior Brother ......"

"The Criminal Department handles the case and acts cheaply."

Following the cold moonlight and the blade, the woman looked up and saw a white and slender palm, which was tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, and the young man in a red robe was hidden in the thick darkness and hazy moonlight, and he couldn't see clearly.

Only his eyes were cold, and they seemed to be filled with cold moonlight.

"I ask, you answer."

A moment later, Wuxin and Tie Lin walked out of the courtyard.

Tie Lin kept wanting to speak and stopped, and he didn't want to look at him, his tone was not wavering, and said:

"Not here, let's go to the next city."

Tie Lin sighed in his heart, nodded, and suppressed the thoughts and slight dissatisfaction in his heart for the time being, and only waited until the matter was over, and then confronted Wuxin.

Wuxin had already walked out quickly, Tie Lin raised his eyes to look at the bright moon that was gradually rising to the middle of the sky, let out a breath of turbidity, thought of the flying bird that had been sent to Wang Anfeng, collected his thoughts, and strode to follow.

………………

Wang Anfeng had just had dinner with everyone.

The name of Zhang's Inn is tacky, but in fact it is just an ordinary inn on the side of the road, which cannot enter the eyes of those noble literati, and naturally there is nothing that can be used to deter peers, but there is another characteristic, that is, the beauty of 'adapting measures to local conditions, not eating from time to time'.

Most of the dishes made every day depend on what vegetables are received from the vegetable farmers today, and there is no conclusion.

For example, the side dishes used for dinner in the morning are cut with the vegetables that have just been picked and brought with morning dew, and mixed with spicy seeds, green onions and ginger, and then sprayed with boiling oil.

Today's dusk happened to get the fat chicken, the cook showed his skills, the fat chicken that tasted just good was collected and collected, and made a unique pepper chicken in Jiannan Road, the hemp is numb, and the taste is even better, Wang Anfeng and others ate a cup and plate mess, and they were very happy.

After eating, Wang Anfeng also handed over the dim sum he bought today to Dongfang Ximing by the way, he naturally would not say that he bought it in Rongyue City, and the latter did not delve into it, so he happily took over this big bag of dim sum, and his eyes were shining.

After having dinner just now, everyone was not in a hurry to disperse, although Liu Ling was a good wine, he was also a glutton, and loudly asked Xiao Er, a distant relative of the shopkeeper, to wash all kinds of fresh fruits newly bought today and cut them into the size of the best entrance, and sent them with freshly brewed good tea to relieve their greasy.

After eating the greasy thing, I felt more and more comfortable after taking a sip of hot tea, and waited until the residual taste in my mouth dissipated, and then ate fresh fruit.

This fresh fruit is soaked in the well water in late autumn, and when you go down, you will feel comfortable, which is exactly the wonder that the old gluttons on the rivers and lakes know.

Wang Anfeng held the tea cup, while emptying his mind, reminiscing about the taste of the dish just now, thinking of what the shopkeeper of Rongyuezhai said today, he couldn't help but hit from the side, and asked Dongfang Ximing when she made pastries, but what ingenious methods were there?

The girl thought for a moment, and then told him that it was a recipe that was turned over from the Oriental house.

Immediately, she said with a little smugness that she was very serious about following what was written on it, and it said that she would add a spoonful of sugar, so that there would never be more than half a point, and it must be a plain spoonful.

The corners of Wang Anfeng's and Lu Baiping's mouths twitched slightly at the same time.

Lu Baiping rolled in her belly, almost stunned, and screamed-

What?!

That thing was made according to this recipe?!

This, this, this...... According to the recipe, it has this effect, so if she is given the materials and let her play at will, won't she make something comparable to the world's strange poison?

Although it is not toxic, it can make the inhuman warriors of Zhongsanpin have a momentary trance distraction, and it has surpassed nine out of nine poisons in the world.

I thought about it again, if I didn't do it, I took the right recipe and made poison.

If you do it randomly, you may make something delicious.

Such a 'strange talent', in addition to being stunned and amazed, she said that the world is really amazing, and she really has no other ideas, and she has made up her mind to pay attention to it, in this life, one day is a day, and she will never eat the food made by Dongfang Ximing.

The corners of Wang Anfeng's mouth twitched slightly, and he finally realized the crux of the problem, and a ridiculous judgment rose in his heart, but he had to believe it-

Wait, Oriental Family......

That recipe, could it be written by my father?!

Since my mother is an oriental vein, then my father must have also been to Penglai Island in the East China Sea, according to various mouths, the gentle and elegant, open-minded and smiling scholar in front of him did not seem to be so worry-free when he was young.

Back then, since he was able to bluff everyone from the soldiers to the king, to eat his pickles, and take pleasure in it, he paid for his 'talent', wrote down the 'recipe', and then hid it in his grandfather's house, waiting for the 'descendants' to find out and carry it forward......

This kind of thing is definitely in line with Wang Tiance's temperament in his youth, and it is definitely something he can do.

Wang Anfeng's palms couldn't help but tremble.

Looking at a serious book, Dongfang Ximing, who had obviously enshrined the recipe found in his grandfather's house as a golden rule, suddenly cried and laughed in his heart, and wondered what his father wrote in the book to deceive this little girl.

Recipe recipe recipe.

It turned out that it was the taste of his royal family.

Or maybe it's because the pickles have grown up since the snacks, he has become accustomed to it, but it was the dessert that made him unguarded to withstand the head-on impact of the real 'Wang Family Recipe', and he almost didn't hold his breath directly, and since then he understands why those martial arts masters are so afraid of his father's pickles, even Libo.

The corners of Wang Anfeng's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a faint helplessness in his heart, and it was a little complicated in the depths.

That person's personality is too strong, and he seems to be too playful.

It was so strong that he had obviously left this world for a long time, but he could still inadvertently find traces of his survival, which made him unconsciously think that more than ten or twenty years ago, there was a young man with such a temperament who existed so distinctly.

Thinking of this, Wang Anfeng's expression unconsciously became softer and softer, and he no longer spoke, just holding the tea, looking at Dongfang Ximing and Lin Qiaofu 'shouting', infatuated with this kind of leisurely life.

After the tea was renewed several times, Dongfang Ximing distributed the big bag of desserts to everyone, Wang Anfeng got up and went back to the house early-

He was tired today, and he planned to rest early, otherwise, even if he was physically fine, he would feel mentally tired.

With one hand on the smooth yellow wood handrail, he slowly stepped on the wooden staircase, spun upward, and looked down with both eyes.

Lin Qiaofu and Dongfang Ximing were sitting below, not in a hurry to go back to the room, there were only a few of them left on the first floor, two little girls of the same age were playing, and the shopkeeper leaned behind the counter, a little napping.

The windows were wide open, and it was pitch black outside, and endless starlight.

There were footsteps in the distance, faint dog barking, and silk bamboo singing from nowhere, lingering.

Such a peaceful scene always has to make people feel that their mood is calm, Wang Anfeng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and murmured in his heart:

Today is no matter how big it is, it doesn't matter.

After going upstairs, the third room on the left hand side was his guest room, Wang Anfeng paced to the door at a speed of three or five percent slower than usual, and then pushed the door open with a gentle force.

A delicate and small gray bird on the window raised its head, and its two round and dark eyes happened to meet Wang Anfeng's.

Silent.

There was a long silence.

Wang Anfeng suddenly took a step back, his expression remained unchanged, as if he had entered the wrong room, he raised his hand and closed the door.

Coherent.

I didn't see anything.
