After a few days, everyone finally arrived at the Duzhou Mansion.

As soon as I entered the city, I found something strange, there were white cloths everywhere, and even the street vendors had hemp ropes tied to their heads, and it seemed that the whole city was running for mourning.

"What's going on? The emperor is dead? Wu Yueyue asked strangely: "It's only been a few days, isn't the emperor still in good health?" ”

"That is, it should be in the prime of life, how can you say that death is death?" Liu Meixue also said.

"Eh, don't talk nonsense." Du Ming said: "How can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, in case someone hears and sues it, it is a big crime." ”

Saying that, Du Ming walked up to a stall selling steamed buns and ordered a few steamed buns.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? Du Ming lowered his voice and asked the vendor: "Why do all families wear linen and filial piety?" ”

"You're a foreigner, aren't you? Don't know yet? It was the prefect's father who died. The vendor said as he took the bun.

"The prefect's father? So why do you too? ”

"Hey, don't mention it, you don't know ........."

The peddler sighed and was about to explain. was pulled away by the woman behind him.

"Guest, you have to eat the buns while they're hot. Our family's buns are the best on this street. The woman said and handed over the bun, and said, "The dead are the greatest, we don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Qingyue and a few people took the buns and ate them while walking, Qingyue divided his bun filling and put it in my bowl, and I also ate it on his arm.

"This prefect's father is dead, and the whole city is mourning?" Liu Meixue asked puzzledly: "The hawker couple is so cautious in their words and deeds, is it possible that the prefect still forces people to run for funerals?" ”

"And such a thing?" Wu Yueyue said angrily: "I want to go and see what this prefect is." ”

"Two sisters, don't worry, don't worry." Du Ming hurriedly said: "This prefect is not necessarily forced, things in the officialdom are much more complicated, maybe it is just a farce made by someone under him in order to slap in touch with his boss." We still focus on major matters, go to find relief first, and don't delay the affairs of the Taishi. ”

"Nope." Liu Meixue said: "I'm going to take a look." ”

"Yes, since you see it, you can't ignore it, Lao Tzu... No... I hate these corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Wu Yueyue said.

Du Ming was helpless and looked at Qingyue.

"Then let's go check it out." Qingyue touched me and said, "Master Du, do you know this prefect?" ”

Du Ming coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Know, know." ”

"No wonder you stopped us, it turns out that you and the prefect are in the same group." Liu Meixue angrily pushed Du Ming.

"No, no, wronged, how could I have been with him when I first came here." Du Ming hurriedly said: "It's just that I once worked as a master for this prefect, and I know that this person is arrogant and arrogant, so I found an excuse to go somewhere else." ”

"Then you know he's like this, why don't you find a chance to kill him?" Wu Yueyue said.

“…… Sister Wu, I'm not the murderous bandit, and he didn't do anything to hurt the heavens and reason at that time, so ......," Du Ming said.

"Therefore, I will say that what you say is thoughtful if it sounds good, and it is indecisive if it is not good. However, I have a question, in order to restrain one person from acting arbitrarily, from the county to the prefecture to the state, all two people have the final say, in addition to the prefect, there should be a magistrate, so why don't the magistrates care? Liu Meixue asked.

"You don't understand this, the court arranges magistrates to take office in different places, but this prefect is now an official at the door of the house, and he has been an official for many years, why do you think it is? There's someone up there. Seeing that he couldn't afford to offend, he naturally shrunk his head and became a man. Du Ming explained.

"Someone's up there?" Wu Yueyue was dissatisfied, waved the big knife and said, "Who is it above?" The county official might as well be in charge now, and I will go down with a knife and care who is above him. ”

"Sister Wu!" Du Ming hurriedly said: "We still have to go to find the liberation, you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." ”

I saw that the three of them were arguing, and I thought it was very funny, but I didn't expect the Taishi to let the people Qingyue find so peculiar, so I don't know if this is the case, and I have some expectations in my heart.

"Here we are." Qingyue said, "Master Du, can you get in?" ”

Everyone looked up and saw that it was in front of the government office, which was also covered with white cloth and white flowers, and officials wearing linen and filial piety came and went.

"I can mix in, but it's just ........." Du Ming looked at the two "sisters" and looked embarrassed.

"You two are waiting outside, Master Du and I will go in and have a look." Qingyue is arranged.

"Okay, just listen to the little brother." Liu Meixue replied briskly.

"If you need to, roar, I'll immediately go in and kill the dog prefect." Wu Yueyue admonished.

"Okay." Qingyue replied.

"Okay?" Du Ming looked at Qingyue and seemed to feel that it didn't match the little brother in his mind.

Hahaha, you can go to the government to see the excitement, I am naturally full of joy, in order to prevent being discovered, I hurriedly got into the cloth bag and quietly looked out.

Qingyue and Du Ming walked into the mansion.
