Chapter 263: Investigation

A loud roar on the flat ground floated back and forth in the main hall. On the wall behind the desk, on the left and on the right, there are two signs with the word "solemn" written on them, and with the roar of the little yacha, it seems to be a little mocking.

Zhao Ming trembled with fright at this sound, his head and ears were buzzing, and it took a while before he finally reacted. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yacha angrily, if it weren't for the corner of his eye noticing Su Jingye's existence, he was afraid that he would scold a few words out of anger.

"It turned out that the prince arrived, and the lower officials were disappointed, so they asked the prince to atone for his sins." As he spoke, Zhao Ming reached out and gently knocked on the top of Xiao Yacha's head.

"You too, the prince didn't know to come and report when he came, but asked the prince to wait here for so long. Is it that these days in the yamen are too comfortable, and you are all lazy bones? ”

"Your Excellency forgives me, my subordinates know that I am wrong, and I will definitely inform my lord in advance next time." Xiao Yacha was very innocent and covered his forehead and retreated.

In fact, it's not that no one reported it, it's just that Zhao Ming's fugue is too powerful and he hasn't heard it at all.

Su Jingye looked at this farce, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, "I never thought that Lord Zhao's yamen was quite lively inside, isn't it the right time for this king to come over at this time?" ”

"What's the matter, the prince is willing to come over to help, it is already a great honor for the lower officials, as long as the prince sets foot here, he will let the yamen shine." A string of compliments made Su Jingye feel goosebumps all over his body.

Su Jingye pursed the corners of his mouth and forcibly held back those on his body who didn't just dare to squint at Zhao Ming, "Dare to ask Lord Zhao, have you decided when to leave, can you leave now?" ”

"This, naturally." Zhao Ming rubbed his hands, smiled at the group of officials who were ready to go, and raised his head and instructed, "Okay, you go outside and wait first, the official and the prince will come later." ”

Su Jingye didn't understand what Zhao Ming meant by telling them out, and turned around to leave behind them, but found that Zhao Ming walked quickly to his side, and the smile on his face was a little embarrassed.

"What else is there to be embarrassed about Lord Zhao? Or is there a new problem? It felt like Zhao Ming was more inkblot than usual today, and Su Jingye only felt that his patience was about to be exhausted by him.

"Isn't that a big deal?" Zhao Ming smiled stiffly, shrunk his two hands in his sleeves, and didn't dare to take them out.

"Actually, isn't it going to Yanliu Lane today to inquire about the situation, the lower officials are not talented, and they have never been to that kind of place, but I don't know if the prince has experience, so as not to show his cowardice in front of them for a while."

"This king is naturally ......" Su Jingye suddenly stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, looking at Zhao Ming's eyes full of hope, and he didn't want to look too much like a wife, so he coughed twice and replied in a bluff.

"Naturally, this king has been there. However, this king has always been a righteous man and a gentleman, and he only went to admire, and he did not even drink wine, so he took his leave and left. But when it comes to discussing things with Lord Zhao, it should be considered some experience. ”

"Xia Guan understands that even the ancient sage has Zeng Yun, 'color-eating'. I won't tell anyone about this matter, so I will have the prince to lead me when I travel today. ”

That's right, but from Zhao Ming's expression, how can it make people feel so strange? Su Jingye's face stiffened, and he nodded so-so.

Because it seems that the busiest time of the day is at night, and now it is early in the morning when they bid farewell to their guests.

Su Jingye and Zhao Ming sat at a tea stall outside Yanliu Lane for a long time, and finally waited for the men who slept in the flower building to leave one after another.

There were only two of them sitting at the tea stall, and the many officials who followed behind Zhao Ming, in order not to attract attention, all changed into their regular clothes, pinned a measuring ruler to their waists, and stood in a row behind them.

With such a large formation, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for people not to find out. Su Jingye glanced at it with disgust, but knew that their servants were indispensable as standard, so he didn't say anything.

Zhao Ming asked the owner of the tea stall that sold breakfast for two baskets of steamed buns, divided one cage for his standing subordinates, and ate the remaining cage one by one.

Su Jingye had already used it before he came, and when he looked at him gobbling up his breakfast, he couldn't say anything other than helplessly holding his forehead.

"If you don't want to look ridiculous in front of outsiders, it's better to wait for their veterans to leave before going in. As for the girls in the building, as long as they have money to make, they naturally don't care whether you are new or a regular customer. ”

"Lord Wang, you know it so well." Zhao Ming finally swallowed the things in his mouth after muttering, but he didn't want him to stay in place in shock because of this sentence.

These two sentences are just to keep Zhao Ming from being afraid, so they specially reminded him, how can he say this, but he seems to be a good man.

Fortunately, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and after reporting in advance yesterday, Su Jingye didn't have to worry about how to explain to Jiang Liuyu.

Su Jingye just pretended not to hear it, and brought a bowl of tea, from this angle, he could just see that most of the flower buildings in Yanliu Lane had already opened their doors. He hurriedly put the tea bowl down and whispered, "Okay, now is the time." ”

"Let's go." Zhao Ming hurriedly took a sip of tea, so frightened that he almost choked on the bun just now. Su Jingye led the team in front and led the officials behind him to march towards Yanliu Lane.

There are more than a dozen flower buildings in Yanliu Lane, and each one is more or less connected. Zhao Ming ordered all his subordinates to take action, and went to each flower building in groups of two to investigate, while he and Su Jingye went to the drunken building where the deceased appeared.

Following the last time Baihualou caught fire inexplicably, and then annihilated, the most famous flower building in Yanliu Lane took over the name of this drunken building.

Different from the extremely graceful and luxurious Baihua Building, this drunken life building is more important to the charm and bones, and the deceased will appear here, which also shows that he is very tasteful.

Su Jingye and Zhao Ming walked into the drunken building, and they were greeted by a prettyly dressed woman who was not vulgar.

The woman was no better than the other girls in the flower building, hurriedly came up and pulled her arms, pulled her sleeves, and secondly, she asked them very humbly and politely about their intentions, and then took the initiative to retreat, never too much entanglement.

Su Jingye was in the building, and Xiao Si led them up to the wing room on the second floor to sit quietly. Looking down through the railing, there is a stage in the center of the hall on the first floor, on which a woman in a white gauze dress sits and plays the strings.

There is also a faint fragrance in the air that resembles orchids or gardenias, which is faintly appealing.

The so-called drunken life and dream of death, I am afraid that this is what it means, if you are not drunk, everyone will get drunk. Everything in this building is beautifully furnished, not like being in the world, making people think that they have arrived at some fairyland, and they are willing to stay here, unwilling to leave.

Su Jingye withdrew his eyes and closed his eyes, wanting to savor the beautiful sound of the piano coming from downstairs. But because after closing one sense, the tip of Su Jingye's nose clearly smelled another aroma of wine in addition to the fragrance that stained the room.

This nine lights feel very mellow and strong when they smell the taste, but they are not as stimulating as ordinary spirits, but there is a feeling of moisturizing things silently, and after slowly invading the internal organs, it suddenly bursts out, full of stamina.

It is estimated that many guests thought that this was just ordinary fragrant wine, and they were careless and drunk here, and then they could never leave here.

In this way, this place is more like a smoky hell than a heavenly and earthly paradise for people to relax and relax.

Thinking of this, Su Jingye immediately opened his eyes again, and asked Zhao Ming to look at his movements, and felt very strange in his heart.

No matter what exists, it has a meaning for its existence, and Su Jingye can't say anything bad and contemptuous about it, but simply has a sense of awe for him. If you can keep your heart, how can you be afraid of being trapped in hell?

After sitting here for a while, she unconsciously comprehended the world and the world, which really made people feel a little funny. Zhao Ming was about to open his mouth to ask if he had thought of any clues, when he saw a very well-dressed old woman push the door and walk in.

The old woman only glanced at it, and then understood that Zhao Ming was now in chaos and did not know the world.

When he saw Su Jingye's terrifying expression, he suddenly smiled, knowing that he had something in his heart, but in the woman's own selfish heart, he felt that it was just some sour pedantic words, so he didn't take it to heart.

After closing the door, the old woman slowly walked to the table of the two and bowed down. "The slave family is the shopkeeper of the deepest building, his name is Wu Sanniang, and the two adults can call me Sanniang."

Zhao Ming turned his head and glanced at Su Jingye, Su Jingye lowered his head to drink tea again, Zhao Ming was not in a hurry to find out his true identity, but just asked, "Sanniangna, do you know why this official came to you this time?" ”

"I know, in the drunken building of the slave family, a person died the day before yesterday." Wu Sanniang spoke softly, her demeanor and behavior were also extremely dignified, and she didn't want any cramped or nervous look on her face.

"I knew that the government would send someone to investigate sooner or later, so the slave family was already ready and waited for a long time. If the adults have anything to ask, they can say it directly, and the slave family must ask the girls in the building to fully cooperate. ”

After experiencing a store that tried to dissociate himself from the murder, it was the first time for Zhao Ming to encounter someone who was so willing to cooperate, and he couldn't help but say more, "Aren't you worried that the murder case in the drunken building will affect your business?" ”
