Pouring a stomach of herbal tea, Tan Mo squinted his eyes comfortably, if it weren't for the fact that this place was not suitable, he would be able to doze off now.

And at this time, Master Lotus stood up, reached out and knocked on his bald head, "Let's go, junior brother." ”

Tan Mo's eyes widened, he quickly picked up the bamboo box and followed, and after walking a few steps, he remembered that the tea money had not been given yet, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw the catcher who had just talked to Master Lotus, shouting at the teahouse, saying that Master Lotus's tea money was on his head. But just at his bright "official" clothes, where did the teahouse owner dare to take his money?

Not only that, but you have to treat them to a good meal and drink.

Turning around, I saw Master Lotus not stopping, Tan Mo was very strange after following up, and couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Abbot, didn't you agree to catch the fast?" Where is this going? ”

"Of course, I went to inquire about the recent murder cases around this square circle, and I was able to alarm the county government and let those iron rooster coops have to pay out of their own pockets." Master Lotus looked ahead and said.

Tan Momu had a wooden face, he didn't know what Master Lotus said about the county government, what was so funny, so he chose not to make a sound.

When Master Lotus saw Tan Mo like this, he understood in his heart that Tan Mo was not very clear, and he had the intention to cultivate Tan Mo, so he explained to Tan Mo out loud: "This county government is different from the past today. ”

Tan Mo nodded, there are several anti-kings in the world, and the heroes are divided, and some remote places have long since denied the Qing Dynasty. The county government in this place naturally lost its previous prestige.

A phoenix with a falling hair is not as good as a chicken.

"In many places, the yamen has been abandoned, and the yamen errands like the catcher will naturally be smashed with iron rice bowls. Then do you know, why is there a county government in Ningjia County? Master Lotus then asked.

The county seat to which Luowan Town belongs is Ningjia County.

In addition to Luowan Town, there are four towns, Qinghua Town, Jing'an Town, Shizhen, and Tengwang Town.

Among them, Luowan Town, Qinghua Town, Jing'an Town, and Shizhen are all early towns in Ningjia County, which are regarded as the four ancient towns. As for the town of King Nateng, it has only been built for a few years, but because there is a prince here, when he fled, he brought a lot of wealth and population, and the town is now extremely prosperous, which can be called the first town in Ningjia County.

"But because of that prince?" Tan Mo said after thinking about it.

"That King Teng alone is not enough." Master Lotus had a profound expression, and he shook his head slowly, "King Teng is not a prince, just a county king, and his status is far from the throne. But no matter how bad it is, this King Teng is also a prince of the Qing court. The name and righteousness are all there, so for those squires in Ningjia County, it is not a lifesaver! It's the elixir of life! ”

Tan Mo shook his head and said very directly: "Senior Brother Abbot, I still don't understand. ”

He was a cross-legged, not a native, and many things were new to him.

"With the righteousness of King Teng's name, the county government of Ningjia County has the value of continuing to exist. And the county government is still there, so the identities of these squires are naturally still noble, so that other people in Ningjia County dare not have the idea of resisting, and can continue to be powerful and prosperous. ”

Tan Mo understood now.

"Senior brother, what you mean is that although they have maintained their status in the name of King Teng, in the final analysis, they still exist in name only. In this case, how can the county government still hear the case? also took out a bounty to offer a bounty for capture. This case is absolutely strange! ”

Master Lotus nodded, he was very satisfied with Tan Mo's understanding at this age, and couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, this white bone heart was worthy of being a taboo.

Tan Mo didn't know why Master Lotus looked at him very appreciatively because he didn't have a deep enough understanding of the system of this place because he had traveled through time, and his slightly stupid comprehension ability.

But since it is of a laudatory nature, then be humble.

So, Tan Mo had a wooden face, folded his hands, and didn't say a word, as if he was humble.

Then, he saw Master Lotus stretch out his hand, push him as if "go Pikachu", and said, "I noticed just now, the soles of those fast catchers are wet, the climate is hot, and it hasn't rained today, so they definitely just came from the river." ”

Tan Mo looked at it, and there were indeed people by the river not far away, so he nodded and ran over.

Those who live by the river are fishermen.

But there aren't many, only three families.

In front of their house, each turned over and placed a canopy boat, covered with some branches. Two barefoot children saw Tan Mo, and one shouted, "Little monk, what are you doing here?" If you want to eat, go to the inn teahouse over there, I don't have anything to eat. ”

This voice sounded indistinguishable between men and women, but it could be vaguely distinguished from the other party's dirty little face that it was a female baby, so Tan Mo grimaced and corrected very seriously: "That's called Huazhai." ”

"What is a fast?" The little girl asked with a blink of dark eyes, as if it was the first time she had heard the word Huazhai.

Tan Mo thought about it, and felt that if he said it was profound, he might face a hundred thousand whys, so he said, "Just ask what you want to eat." ”

"Isn't that just food?" The little girl glared and looked at Tan Mo.

Tan Mo: "......"

Isn't it nice to call it a fast? Is it shameless to be a monk?

You melon baby is really underwhelmed.

With a sneer in his heart, Tan Mo saw the adults of the two children come out, and one of them asked, "What's the matter with the little master?" ”

"Donor, the little monk is Master Lotus, he was invited by several catchers to investigate a murder case...... "Before Tan Mo finished speaking, as soon as the man heard Master Lotus, he quickly nodded and said: "Those old men have been here, just to ask if we have recovered the corpses of people in the river recently." ”

The man spoke quickly and seemed urgent, so the order of the words was a bit out of order.

Tan Mo clasped his hands together, and had no choice but to say, "Can you tell me in detail, the little monk has thanked the donor." ”

The man's face froze, but he nodded quickly, and said it again, but he still said it quickly.

After listening to him, Tan Mo thanked him again, and then went to find Master Lotus.

When found, Master Lotus was meditating under the shade of a tree.

Tan Mo grimaced, wiped his sweat, and then walked over and said, "Senior Brother Abbot, I inquired, those few catchers have indeed been there, and they have asked if they have recovered the corpses of the people who came up." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Yes." Tan Mo talked about it again.

Master Lotus was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That donor lied, and they salvaged it, but then they threw it away because they were afraid of trouble." ”

Tan Mo still had a wooden face, and when he heard this, he asked, "Senior brother, we can directly ask those few catchers about these, why do you want to inquire by yourself?" ”

"If not, how can you look like a monk at that time?" Master Lotus chuckled, he looked at Tan Mo, and said meaningfully: "Senior brother, you have to remember that this master's demeanor is actually pretended. ”
