Yongning Mansion is very prosperous, with a dazzling array of shops, and people shuttling through it, which is lively.

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha rode into the city, and because there were many people, they simply dismounted and walked, and the two did not walk fast, and occasionally talked a few words.

Walking to the fork in the road, Shen Lingjun stopped, thinking that what happened just now was too ridiculous, and went to the county government to ask about the situation, so he said, "I'll go to the government office first." ”

Except for the Dali Temple, Su Musha was not happy to enter and leave the official mansion, so he said: "I'll go home." ”

Shen Lingjun patted Hui Feng's head and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, how often do you come to Yongning Mansion, I don't think you are familiar with this place." ”

Su Musha jumped on the horse, looked down at Shen Lingjun, and said lightly: "Occasionally." ”

Shen Lingjun also jumped on the horse: "I made an appointment with Qingzhi and the others to see you in the restaurant." ”

"Hmm." Su Musha nodded and left first.

Shen Lingjun pinched his chin and pondered, is he coming or coming?

After a pause, Shen Lingjun kicked the horse's belly: "Return to the wind, go." ”

At the gate of the county office, Shen Lingjun had just jumped off his horse, and a person hurriedly ran over: "My lord." ”

"Yo, you're early." Shen Lingjun handed the return wind to Li Yi, patted the dust on his body, and said, "What about Shen He and Mao Li?" ”

Li Yi led the horse to the stable and walked over, and replied: "We found a remnant of the Bright Sect, they went to chase it, I will come over first and wait for the adults to send it." ”

Shen Lingjun walked all the way in with him and briefly talked about what had just happened.

Li Yi couldn't help frowning after hearing this: "There are also such things, most of them are deceitful." ”

"I think so, by the way, what's the name of the county magistrate here." Shen Lingjun looked up at the sign hanging in the mirror and asked.

"The surname is Yu, Yu Deshui," Li Yi said: "I heard that the official is doing well, he was originally an official in a small place in the south, and he was just transferred last year, and he inquired about it, since he came here as an official, he has a good reputation, and he is also a good official praised by the people." ”

Shen Lingjun nodded, and when he was about to speak again, he heard the footsteps of the inner hall hurrying over.

"Lord Shen," the person who came was still panting as he spoke, it could be seen that he had run all the way, and when he got closer, he hurriedly saluted: "Lord Shen, there is a loss of welcome, a rude and rude." ”

Shen Lingjun looked up, this person was dressed in an official uniform, with a medium build, a square face, and at this moment, a pair of triangular eyes were squinting together, and an exaggerated smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yu Deshui arched his hands together, apologized again and again, and said: "Xiaguan just dealt with some trivial matters, and it was too late." ”

"Oh, Lord Yu is busy with official business." Shen Lingjun put on a standard official appearance, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yu Deshui hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where is it, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials." ”

As soon as Shen Lingjun looked at this person, he knew that he was the kind of official who became a fine man, very slippery, and said with a smile in his dark eyes: "I heard that the Yongning Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Lord does not close its doors at night, and the road is not forgotten." ”

"This is all the credit of today's saints who are sympathetic to the people, and the lower officials dare not accept it." Yu Deshui bowed to the emperor to the north and replied.

"However," Shen Lingjun changed his words and said, "What's the matter with this river god?" ”

When Yu Deshui heard this, he paused, and after a while, he said in a tentative tone: "What is my lord?" ”

Shen Lingjun stared at him for a moment, and said in a relaxed tone: "I happened to pass by and saw someone doing some kind of live sacrifice." "Omit the dead man's thing.

"What the adults are talking about is Jingling Village?" Yu Deshui hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "My lord doesn't know, this river god sacrifice is a local folk custom problem, there are several times every summer, when the official first came, I heard that the villagers sacrificed people, and sent the official to squat, several times, the official saw that they took live pigs and sheep sacrifice, and then did not control more. ”

Shen Lingjun nodded slowly: "That's it." ”

"Yes," Yu Deshui said: "The people's customs are like this, and the lower officials think that they will not be able to get them to get rid of this bad habit immediately for a while, so they have to think about it in the long run." ”

"However, when I said a living sacrifice," Shen Lingjun said word by word, "it is a sacrifice." ”

Yu Deshui was obviously startled, his face changed suddenly, and he said cautiously: "This ...... Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

Li Yi choked beside him: "Lord Yu is suspicious of our adults' eyes? ”

"No, no," Yu Deshui shook his head, his face was ugly, and said: "Xia Guan has been visiting for a long time before, and I really haven't seen this sacrificer, how can this ......?"

Shen Lingjun examined him for a while, and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he said: "I know, this matter should not be publicized now, you send a few clever people to Jingling Village to guard in turn, if they carry out any more sacrifices, they will come and tell me immediately." ”

"Yes," Yu Deshui responded, and asked again: "Your Excellency is saying that they are going to have a game recently?" ”

Shen Lingjun didn't reply, but said: "I live in Su Mansion in the city, and come there to find me when the time comes." ”

After talking about things, Li Yi went out with Shen Lingjun and said curiously: "Adults don't live in the yamen?" ”

Shen Lingjun wrinkled his nose in disgust and shook his head: "Don't stop." ”

"Then Su Mansion is ......?" Li Yi asked halfway through, so he didn't ask, obviously thinking of something.

Shen Lingjun shook his head and walked forward with a smile, and said idly: "It's the one you think." ”

Li Yi hurriedly followed, looking curious about the baby: "This Su Sanshao is also here." ”

Shen Lingjun suddenly stopped, and Li Yi almost didn't bump into it.

Shen Lingjun stared at Li Yi with serious eyes, then knocked his forehead with his fingers, and said, "I thought about it for a while, you still don't follow me, you just live in the county government and keep an eye on it." ”

Li Yi had a bitter face: "My lord, you abandoned me again." ”

Shen Lingjun walked briskly all the way, without looking back, he stretched out his hand and beckoned back: "Know where to find me." ”

Leaving Li Yi alone, Shen Lingjun took the wind and walked straight to the largest restaurant in the city, muttering psychologically, you Li Yi is like an eighth woman, just put you in the yamen, otherwise I will have a headache to death.

There are naturally countless restaurants in Yongning Mansion, and if you want to say that the largest and most luxurious, it is not this cyclamen.

After Shen Lingjun grabbed a passer-by and asked which restaurant was the most magnificent, when he walked all the way here, he looked up, and sure enough, Su Musha was sitting by the window of the elegant seat on the second floor.

The corners of Shen Lingjun's mouth curled into a smile, and he didn't take the stairs, but jumped directly.

Su Musha took a glass of wine in one hand and leaned it on the windowsill and looked at her: "You never take the normal road. ”

Shen Lingjun picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass, "It's not easy, you didn't order, I've been busy for most of the day, I'm about to starve to death." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a shopkeeper outside the door and said, "Guest officer, the dish you ordered." With that, he stretched out his hand to push the door, and when he saw that there was one more person inside, he was stunned for a moment.

Shen Lingjun nodded with satisfaction, and patted Su Musha's shoulder with great relief: "Well, you are still very sensible." ”

The shopkeeper has also seen the world in the end, and when he saw this scene, the two of them should know each other, so he lowered his head and put the dishes on the table, and said with a smile before leaving: "The dishes you ordered are all ready, if you still need anything, just give an order." ”

Su Musha nodded and threw a piece of silver over.

The shopkeeper took it and smiled: "Then I'll go down first." "As when I came, close the door and leave quietly.

Shen Lingjun had already swept with chopsticks, and commented while eating: "This dish is light, this oil is too much, well, this is delicious, and the taste is more positive than Sanpinxiang, but this fish is not good, it doesn't taste good......

Su Mu covered his forehead: "You eat slowly, no one grabs it." ”

After a while, Shen Lingjun felt that he was full after eating, so he was willing to loosen his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip to press down the food, burped, rubbed his stomach contentedly, spread it back on the chair, and sighed: "It's comfortable." ”

Su Musha looked at her, and inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction.

"I just went to the county office and found that there was no place for me to live." Shen Lingjun squinted his eyes, like a lazy cat who has eaten enough, and his tone is also lazy, he doesn't blink his eyes when he lies, and he said with a smile: "So, I'm tired of Brother Su." ”

"I've already asked someone to clean the guest room," Su Musha said, "The house is big enough, it's no problem for you all to live in it." ”

Shen Lingjun was even more satisfied, and praised with his thumb: "Clever." ”

Then Su Musha asked the shopkeeper to remove the leftovers and replace them with tea and pastries.

Shen Lingjun thought that he had been drinking just now, and he didn't move his chopsticks at all, so he prompted, "You haven't eaten yet." ”

Su Musha made her tea, and simply said, "I'm not hungry." ”

Shen Lingjun didn't ask anymore, and told Su Musha about the conversation with Yu Deshui, and said, "It seems that these Diao people still know how to deal with the people in the yamen. ”

Su Musha nodded: "I asked the housekeeper just now, the sacrifice in Jingling Village has a long history, but it used to be sacrificed with pigs and sheep, and he doesn't know when he started to sacrifice people alive." ”

Shen Lingjun got up, spun around to consume food, and said, "Speaking of which, I didn't use living people before." ”

"Hmm." Su Musha said: "I thought it had always been like this, but the housekeeper was sure that he had a relative from Jingling Village, who he often visited and experienced several sacrificial scenes. ”

Shen Lingjun pinched his chin and thought, "Could it be that it only started recently, why is that?" ”

Su Musha shook his head: "It's not clear." ”

Towards dusk, the sunlight begins to fade, and the last rays of light shine on the windowsill.

Shen Lingjun was idle, looked out, and sighed: "Yongning Mansion is still quite lively." ”

"Yongning Mansion originally had the title of Little Luoyang." Su Musha walked up to her and said.

Shen Lingjun looked at it for a while, saw a few familiar figures, and hurriedly beckoned: "Here." ”

Downstairs is Ye Qingzhi and Zhao Qi who were looking for Shen Lingjun in the city after being busy, originally Ye Qingzhi still had a headache, Shen Lingjun only said see you in the restaurant, but he didn't say which one specifically, there are dozens of restaurants in Yongning Mansion.

On the other hand, Zhao Qi was not in a hurry, he casually picked someone from the side of the road and asked, "Which restaurant in this Yongning Mansion is the biggest and most magnificent?!" ”

So, the skeptical Ye Qingzhi followed him to the cyclamen.

Zhao Qi stepped into the door, looked at Ye Qingzhi, who was not moving behind him, and retreated, raising his eyebrows: "Why don't you go in." ”

"Are you sure it's this?" Ye Qingzhi squinted at him.

Zhao Qi smiled: "You don't want to think about who is next to Shen Lingjun, is that the master who is short of money." ”

was in a stalemate, but he heard Shen Lingjun say hello, Zhao Qi looked like this, and Ye Qingzhi was even more unhappy when he saw it.

Suddenly, Ye Qingzhi felt that she was being pulled, her feet were in the air, and then the wind blew through her ears, and then she looked at Shen Lingjun standing in front of her.

Ye Qingzhi suddenly got angry and kicked over: "What are you doing?!" ”

Zhao Qi is quite innocent: "Isn't this a trouble-free matter?" ”

Su Musha couldn't help but be a little funny, Shen Lingjun also said the same thing just now.

Ye Qingzhi huffed: "I have feet, I can walk by myself." ”

Shen Lingjun poured a cup of tea for Ye Qingzhi and Zhao Qi, and beckoned: "Come on, dissipate your anger, and talk about it when you're full." ”

Luo Cheng and the play also jumped on the windowsill, and sighed during the play: "The general always has the ability to smoke the seven orifices of Miss Ye's anger." ”

Luo Cheng's face was full of black lines: "If you don't know how to speak idioms, don't talk about it." ”

Sure enough, Ye Qingzhi's face was a little more gloomy, and a pair of eyes glared at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi's face was still very thick-skinned, he still sat down with a big prick, picked up the teacup on the table and poured it down in one go, and slapped the table: "Where are a few pastries enough to eat." ”

Howled outside: "Shopkeeper, come in." ”

On the other side, he looked at Zhao Qi with a complicated face during the play: "General......"

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”
