Chapter 77: Fireside Chat
The man on the left, with a scruffy beard and an official knife pinned to his waist, strode forward, with a banner standing behind him, and wrote:
"Filial piety, loyalty, Jingzhili County, Yazhiguang, Beijing City, friends of women, Wu!"
It was Wu Laosan who was walking with his nostrils gouging, which was given to him by the imperial court.
The man on the right, with a weak figure, light eyebrows, a gourd hanging from his waist, a brisk step, and a banner standing behind him, read:
"Etiquette, righteousness, and shame, in the family, the glory of the ancestors, the four nine cities, the ten talents, the season!"
It was the outstanding Ji Li, when he came out with the title, Old Man Ji couldn't stop him by forcing him to die, and the two seemed to have a very good relationship and walked in the same way.
It seems that he came to visit Bai Changsheng.
A group of people were clustered, the horns and suona were sparsely loud, and the neighbors all came out, looking at these two people pointing and sneering.
And Bai Changsheng knew from looking at Ji Li's banner that the name of the most talented person was now confirmed by this grandson, and he should also be the veritable big brother of this gang.
"Yo, Xiao Changsheng, when you see the third master's flag, you can't float or not! Bright or not! โ
Wu Laosan laughed heroically, and also said witty words, and the subordinates holding the banner behind him frowned, and the faces of those people when this name came out were really ugly.
"It's good that you two are happy."
Bai Changsheng was very grateful to these two people for helping in the case, but in terms of taste, he didn't dare to take it, he really didn't dare to take it.
"Shhh Brother Bai, who are these two people, how can there be so... Such a strong facial skin? โ
Lu Buchen had a belly of ink, and he couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe the two people in front of him.
When the two of them heard it, they jumped with anger and a strong face, what is this called?
"Who are you, don't you see our flags? The court rewarded! Do you know what the court reward means! โ
Ji Li jumped out and scolded, very indignant.
Bai Changsheng stopped him and introduced everyone to know each other, when Lu Buchen heard that these two people were actually the key to the case, he had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't slack off, so he had to kowtow and thank you.
Wu Laosan held him down, seeing that this kid is so affectionate and righteous, he knows that there must be no bad intentions, and everyone knows each other today.
"What are you doing here? Shame on me, don't throw it at my door, okay? โ
When Wu Laosan heard this, he sneered:
"Do you still have a door in your house?"
After laughing, he took out another bright banner from the back of his waist!
The subordinates next to him quickly covered their eyes, and they really didn't have the face to look.
Bai Changsheng and Lu Buchen looked at the words on the banner, and their eyes were so wide that they could catch the ghost dragon king!
The banner fluttered in the wind, and on it was written a large line of angry red letters:
"Reward Bai Changsheng, one of the top ten outstanding young people in Beijing City, and the royal gift, half of the golden coffin can be used to collect traitorous ministers, and officials can be buried with cunning and evil spirits!"
Bai Changsheng didn't even think about jumping up and snatching the banner cloth, he didn't dare to tear this up, so he could only hide it behind his back, blushing like anything.
"Hey, this is what my brothers fought hard for you, why are you so blind."
Ji Li was very sorry for Bai Changsheng's behavior on the side, Bai Changsheng wanted to kill him, if this banner was revealed, it would definitely be "famous in history".
"It's neat."
Lu Buchen nodded again and again on the side.

A few people fought for a long time before it stopped, and they sat around on the ruins of the coffin shop, burned a brazier, and it was also night, which was a good time for the night to talk around the fireplace.
Lu Buchen is a person from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and has a lot of experience all the way to this soju rice wine, Shaoxing's rice wine is not as refreshing as Beijing's, but it has a unique charm, sweet but not greasy, smooth and moisturizing.
When he came, he also brought the recipe of Shaoxing rice wine and the introduction for blending, Lu Buchen went to the wine shop to get a pot of soju to mix, Wu Laosan went to buy half a roast chicken, and several people sat together and chatted.
In the past few days, my nerves have been highly tense, and I am always worried about the loss of my life, and I am not snowing, but now that the wind and waves are calm, I can finally sit down and talk about wine.
After drinking half a pot of wine, and chatting for a while about the nine corpses and ten murders, Bai Changsheng also talked about his experience in the ghost crying grave, and several people felt strange after hearing it, but they didn't want to recall this case anymore, it happened that there was a pleasant smell of wine, and everyone chatted around this pot of wine:
"Buchen, your pot of wine tastes really good, wait for the recipe to be given to me, and I will learn it too."
Wu Laosan smacked his lips, and the aftertaste was long.
Bai Changsheng knew that cooking wine could not be leaked at will, so it was very unruly and rude, so he dissuaded:
"Pull it down, people may point to this business in the future, have you forgotten the cup of Pu'er tea in the Eighteen Hutongs?"
Wu Laosan vomited all of a sudden, ruining the scenery, and Bai Chang's survival heart was disturbing.
But when it came to the pawnshop in the eighteenth alley, Wu Laosan and Bai Changsheng were both excited, and the two of them remembered someone in unison:
"Young man!"
Wu Laosan felt that the young man should have escaped, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he didn't come to Beijing to listen to the Yamen, and it was the same with him or not.
Bai Changsheng didn't think so, he always felt that although that little guy looked scared, his eyes shone brightly, especially in key places, he was always appropriate, not like the character of an ordinary young man.
"Could he be implicated?"
Bai Changsheng boldly said the hypothesis, but as soon as he said it, several people waved their hands and shook their heads, the shopkeeper was the culprit and was dead, and the young man should not know.
This matter passed like this, and no one paid attention except Bai Changsheng.
"By the way, your half of the golden coffin is not empty, the imperial court has sent craftsmen to make it overnight, it should be done in the next few days, and it will be sent to you when the time comes."
Wu Laosan thought of this, Bai Changsheng thought that the banner was a joke, but it turned out that he really gave him such a bite.
Of course, what is written on the banner is just a statement: "Collect corrupt officials and punish evildoers".
Since ancient times, I have never heard that Shang Fang's sword has been used, and it is all kept at home, and it is secretly used when killing pig slices and meat and chopping leeks and wrapping dumplings.
This thing, deserves its name, and it only has a name, Bai Changsheng understands it in his heart.
"It's really good to have such a coffin to support your face, but now I can't say that my house here is surrounded by four walls, it's just a mansion, where do I live for a while? You can't still live in Ji Mansion with half a coffin, right? โ
Bai Changsheng was worried, he didn't know where to go, it would take some time for the coffin shop to be rebuilt, so there was nothing he could do about a few people sitting on the ground drinking tonight.
I don't know where to stay tonight, let alone in the future?
Speaking of the house, the house of Chen Mingshi has been confiscated, everyone has been dismissed, the courtyard gate has been blocked, and that place is impossible to go.
Where else can I go? Several of them were worried about Bai Changsheng's next plan, and just as they were thinking about it, Wu Laosan stood up and patted his head, and came up with a place in a flash of inspiration.
"Changsheng, you just live there, you must like that place!"
Wu Laosan was clever, thought of a place to go, and said to Bai Changsheng, Bai Changsheng first frowned, and then followed with his eyebrows and smiled:
"If I can really settle down there, I will leave another courtyard here, and my life will really be complete!"
