readx;? Yuezhou is close to Dongting Lake, since ancient times it has been an important town in the south, Qin Hui because of the name of evil Yue Fei, once changed Yuezhou to Chunzhou, but it did not take long to restore the old name. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Baling as the seat of Yuezhou, is also famous, the ancient poems with Baling as the title are numerous, the Song people have poems: heavy to Baling autumn Zhengqing, Yueyang City is lonely. The rivers and lakes are wide and the water is wide, and the world is cool and the river is bright.
The reason why Yang Jing chose to go to Baling to find out the news was not unfounded.
The clothing of the owner of the body is loose and comfortable casual clothes, biased towards the shirt of the scholar, and the waist is Linlang, and there is no such thing as a household road guide on his body, it is impossible to travel far, it should be a painting boat to enjoy the scenery on Dongting Lake, so his residence should not be too far from Dongting Lake.
And Baling is a place that extends in all directions, where merchants and tourists gather, and the owner of the body seems to be a person with a head and a face, as long as he encounters murder in Fangyuan County and Town, Baling, a place like Baling, it is impossible to have no news at all.
During this time, Yang Jing kept thinking about these problems, looking through the items of the owner of the body countless times, and actually had his own speculation in his mind, but he was not familiar with this environment, and he did not dare to make conclusions.
After leaving the Chen family, Yang Jing walked along the river beach, through the heavy thatch, followed the horseshoe prints of those murderers, and soon got out of the mountains and forests by the lake and set foot on the official road to Baling.
Xu is the reason for the hazy drizzle, there are not too many carriages and horses on the official road, seeing that the sky is getting darker, Yang Jing also sped up his pace, and when he was hurrying, there was a sound of tuk-tuk horses' hooves behind him!
When Yang Jing looked back, he saw that a knight was about to rush to his side, and the first knight dressed in black with his mouth and nose covered even "snapped" and threw a whip at Yang Jing!
"Get out of the way!"
Yang Jing is also from the police academy, and has participated in training camps and competitions, so his skills are not bad, and he was about to dodge the past, but he remembered that he was a fisherman's disguise, so he pretended to be unable to dodge, was led by the horse, exclaimed, and fell to the side of the road, and a few fresh white fish in the fish basket took the opportunity to jump out, struggling and jumping in the puddle of the official road.
The knight galloped for a long time, then reined in the horse, turned back to Yang Jing's side, but sat high on the horse's back, dropped a piece of thumb-sized broken silver, and said arrogantly and indifferently: "Seeing that the horse does not avoid, I want to find death! This silver is compensated for you, this girl still has urgent matters, if you feel wronged, go to the county Renchun Medical Center to see the injury." ”
Yang Jing made up his mind to keep a low profile, and naturally he would not make noise about this kind of thing, so he buried himself in picking up live fish, wiped the water stains on his face, grabbed some mud, wiped it on his face, and then raised his head.
But although this person is wearing a lily coat and a hat, he can still see a red dress inside, the hand holding the reins of the horse is as white as snow, and he is wearing a string of emerald green and transparent jade beads on his wrist.
Although this woman is veiled, like a proud phoenix, she is also a loss of money and asked Yang Jing to see the injury, thinking about her rude personality, but her heart is not bad, and Shicai should also be an unintentional mistake caused by hurrying.
Thinking like this, Yang Jing forgave her, and was about to return the broken silver, when the woman saw that he was silent for a long time, but dropped a sentence: "It turned out to be a mute who can't speak!"
Yang Jing opened her mouth and was about to speak, but the woman grabbed the horse's belly, galloped out, and soon disappeared into the hazy rain curtain.
Yang Jing also smiled helplessly, after cleaning up, watching the black clouds pressing on the top, and the heavy rain could break out at any time, he accelerated his pace, and when he arrived at Baling County, it was already evening, and the sky was even more gloomy, and the dark clouds were like a big quilt soaked in ink, low and low on the roof.
Baling is on the edge of Dongting Lake, the river is famous for its deliciousness, every morning is the peak season of the fish market, now the heavy rain is about to fall, and it is time to eat, there are not many pedestrians on the street, the vendors and shops are also closed, Yang Jing walks on the street, feeling out of place with the world, it is inevitable that he is a little at a loss.
But in the end, he came from the modern society, he is well-informed and has rich life experience, thinking that although the fish market and shops are closed, some restaurants and restaurants are at the peak of business, and he does not have to worry about not being able to sell these fish.
Chen Chao's father and son were not wealthy, and they had no surplus wealth to give to Yang Jing, and Yang Jing was unwilling to accept their funding, let alone use the property of the owner of the body, so this basket of live fish became the first pot of gold in his future life.
Yang Jing took a look at it, and the restaurants and restaurants on both sides of the street gradually turned on and began to be busy, and they became lively.
These restaurants have already started cooking, and diners have come to the door, presumably the ingredients have already been prepared, and the demand for Yang Jing's live fish is not high, and the price will not sell too well.
Just thinking about it like this, Yang Jing also chose his own goal.
The scale of this small shop is not too large, but the plaque on the door is very elegant, the decoration of the store is also full of books and ink, the tables and chairs are very exquisite, there is no greasy atmosphere of ordinary restaurants and restaurants, it should be a meeting place for literati and scholars.
This kind of restaurant entertains elegant people, and the requirements for ingredients are naturally higher, and the pursuit of dishes is not to fill the stomach, but to taste.
Yang Jing was covered in rain at this time, full of mud, and carrying a fish basket, for fear of polluting the smell of the store and causing the shopkeeper to be dissatisfied, so the fish could not be sold, so he went around to the back door.
The back door of the hotel was ajar, and the busy chefs and envoys could be vaguely seen, Yang Jing knocked on the door, and a housekeeper walked out.
This person is more than forty years old, his temples are already a little gray, his eyebrows are twisted into Sichuan characters, and his eyes are old and spicy, obviously a capable old deacon.
Seeing the fish basket in Yang Jing's hand, the housekeeper knew Yang Jing's intention, and some fishermen who returned late often came to sell river fresh food at meals, so it was not strange to see it.
"Come in. ”
Yang Jing nodded, and followed the steward in, the kitchen was busy, and the steward took Yang Jing to the side room, where a lot of fresh ingredients were piled up, which turned out to be a storage room.
This steward is dressed plainly and cleanly, but he is meticulous in his work, he rolls up his sleeves and personally checks the live fish in the fish basket, and he has no rejection of the fish, obviously used to doing it himself, Yang Jing can't help but have some good feelings.
"These carp are selling well, and the perch is big enough, but there are fewer mandarin fish, so the price is three hundred. The old steward raised his head and looked at Yang Jingdao.
Yang Jing thought about it, three hundred wen is equivalent to about one hundred yuan, the price of Baling is not high, if you don't live in the store, you should be able to last a few days.
He didn't want to stay in the hotel, so as not to be recognized, and secondly, he also wanted to win the favor of the steward, and wanted to get news from the steward, so he nodded: "Okay." ”
The old steward was not too surprised, because the price he gave was fair, so he said to Yang Jing: "You can go to the account room with me to settle the money." ”
After arriving at the tent, the big shopkeeper was not there, a small account was sorting out the number, and the housekeeper had to take care of the kitchen, so he explained the small account and asked him to tell the big shopkeeper and pay the money to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing originally wanted to ask the steward for news, but when he saw that the steward was leaving, he miscalculated in the secret way, but it was difficult to stop him.
The small tent was only concerned about settling accounts, Yang Jing couldn't talk to him if he wanted to, he was disappointed, he knew that it was better to bargain for a price and sell those fish more cost-effectively.
The big shopkeeper thought that he was going to receive the VIPs, but he didn't come back for a while, so Yang Jing took off his coat, took off his hat, and sat on the survey box and waited.
After a while, the old butler in the back kitchen actually returned!
He was holding a basket of hot soft steamed buns in his right hand, but he carried a large pot of tea in his left hand, and a towel on his shoulder.
"The owner tried your fish, the taste is fresh and tender, authentic, and if you have fish in the future, you will send it over again, and send you something to eat, which can be regarded as the money for the fish basket." ”
But in this kind of big restaurant, it is understandable for the owner to try it first, but the fish basket is not worth much, the old steward said so, I am afraid that Yang Jing's self-esteem will also be taken into account, and he will send food over dryly, which is charity.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing also had a good impression of this steward, and asked while the iron was hot while thanking him.
"Brother steward, it's dark this day, it's going to rain heavily, my little brother can't go back tonight, I don't know if there are temples and Taoist temples near here where you can spend the night?"
The steward just saw that Yang Jing was not squatting like others, although he was dressed in a cold manner, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had a calm temperament, and he was also satisfied, so he replied: "There is a small temple in the west of the county, you can go there to have a look." ”
Yang Jing was about to ask again, but there was a little messenger in the back kitchen, and he called the steward back, Yang Jing couldn't help but sigh secretly, looked at the hot white-flour steamed buns, and glanced at the tent again, and saw that the small tent had put down the account book, so he walked in with the steamed buns.
"Little sir, this steamed bun has just come out of the oven, it is fragrant, you have been busy all day, you should not have eaten, why don't you eat together?"
The little man in the tent room was an apprentice, and after a day's calculations, he was dizzy and dizzy, and he was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and when he saw the steamed bun, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "So good!"
He took out two sea bowls from the tent, took Yang Jing's teapot, poured two bowls of tea, and invited Yang Jing to sit down in the tent, and ate unceremoniously.
Yang Jing saw this, and did not bother, the little gentleman ate three steamed buns in a row, and drank a big bowl of tea, and felt comfortable, only to find that Yang Jing had only bitten half of the steamed buns, and he was also a little embarrassed.
"I just heard the little brother ask where the steward stayed, I remembered one thing, the son of the Peng family died, and he held a festival for more than half a month in a row, and also opened a good hall, and the bastards in the county went there to eat and drink, it is said that there is a place to stay at night, if the little brother does not like to do it, you can go and see, it is better than the small temple..."
When Yang Jing heard this, his heart was suddenly shocked, but he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pretended to be calm and asked casually: "Then the son of the Peng family must be not very old, right?
How do you know that the little gentleman snorted coldly: "Little brother, don't you often come to the county, right? It's true that you are not old, but it's not a pity, that Peng Lianyu is a disaster in the township, bullying men and women, but it's not a pity to die at all, I don't know how many innocent girls in the market burn high incense every day and look forward to his death, and now I don't know how many people laugh when they die!"
"It turned out to be called Peng Lianyu..."Yang Jing heard this, and he was also in a complicated mood, the Peng family was able to hold a big festival and open a good hall, it was definitely a rich and noble family, but when he heard that Peng Lianyu was a person, Yang Jing also had a kind of indescribable depression.
"Then how did Peng Lianyu die? There can't really be a righteous person who does the harm for the people of Tianxingdao, right?" Yang Jing took a sip of tea, glanced at him secretly, and asked pretending to be relaxed.
"It is said that he drowned in Dongting Lake, but as for the truth, it is not something that we Shengdou people can know..."
"Drowned in Dongting Lake!" As soon as Mr. Xiao said this, Yang Jing became more and more sure that the former owner of his body was afraid that it was Peng Lianyu!
Yang Jing's thoughts were uncertain, but the little gentleman continued: "This person is dead when he dies, but he has also caused others to suffer, that boat is full of my rich sons and reading seeds in Baling County, as well as many top red sisters in the Qinglou, plus cooks and boatmen and the like, more than thirty people survived five or six, and they are also evil..."
"A boat has sunk?!!!" Yang Jing couldn't help but be surprised, no wonder so many boats were dispatched to Dongting Lake to search!
There are so many rich sons who died on the ship, and he doesn't have to be that Peng Lianyu, but in this way, it is more difficult to determine his identity!
