Chapter 17: The Mirror Hangs High

"Close the doors and windows, prevent theft and theftβ€”"

Outside Tongyue Restaurant, Li Yi beat the second drum.

The cook, who heard the movement, handed over the freshly made food box to Li Yi.

On the side, Sun Cheng, who was carrying a lantern, asked, "How many are there to send today?" ”

Li Yi smiled: "Not much, just three." ”

…

A moment, outside a coffin shop.

Sun Cheng looked at the dark shop with some hesitation.

"Why do you even deliver food here?"

Li Yi said disapprerovingly: "I used to do business at the door of this shop, and the owner of the coffin shop is very good. ”

As the two spoke, the door panel of the coffin shop was removed.

Sun Cheng subconsciously took a step back, and Li Yi greeted the owner of the coffin shop with a professional smile.

After delivering the two orders, Li Yi returned to the restaurant and took the third meal.

Sun Cheng asked in advance this time: "Which one will I send this time?" ”

"Rouge shop Xu Sanniang."

"You're going to deliver food to Widow Xu?"

Hearing Li Yi's answer, Sun Cheng's reaction was bigger than when he went to the coffin shop before.

"Brother Yi, in the middle of the night, you just took the list from the coffin shop, why did you still take the widow's list?"

Li Yi's face was slightly dark, how could what this old man said sound so wrong...

"Everyone who comes is a guest, regardless of women, children, old and young, I will send them."

After a pause, Li Yi said earnestly: "Old Sun, the idea of discriminating against widows is unacceptable!" ”

Not long after, in the rouge shop.

Xu Sanniang lit the lamp and candle, and watched intently as the young man put the wine and food inside.

When Li Yi put away the food box and was about to leave, Xu Sanniang's face suddenly turned red and said: "The concubine is alone at night, and it is strange to be alone, if you are not in a hurry, you might as well accompany the concubine to eat together." ”

Li Yi looked at Xu Sanniang when he heard this, and saw that his eyes seemed to be filled with spring water, as if as long as he agreed, there would be endless ripples......

"Well, isn't it?"

Glancing at the food on the table, Li Yi was a little moved.

Xu Sanniang saw that there was a play, and hurriedly took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "What's wrong with this, it's just a pair of chopsticks left and right." ”

……

Oh, Li Yi, who was a little frustrated, burped and said with satisfaction: "Thank you for the hospitality of the shopkeeper, and I will leave here." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Sanniang, who was ready to close for the time being tomorrow, opened her apricot eyes wide.

Are you really just going to eat?

Seeing the pretty man who sent him to the door leave, Xu San stomped his feet angrily.

She'd never seen anything like this, and she wouldn't leave anything behind!

Outside the rouge shop, Li Yi ignored Sun Chenghu's suspicious gaze and 'looked' at the progress bar in his mind.

[Occupation: Primary 2]

[Progress: 61/100]

……

[Occupation: Beggar]

【Level:1 】

[Progress: 29/300]

Xiao Er's career progress is more than halfway, and the beggar who has been promoted to the first level still has a long way to go.

In addition, the progress bar of the husband's career is also about to reach the halfway point, and the career progress of the fast hunt has just begun.

There is still work to be done!

…

Fireworks Alley, Chunfeng Building.

After playing the third drum, Li Yi rushed back non-stop.

In the spring boudoir, the little lady who had been waiting for a long time had fallen asleep on the desk.

Seeing this, Li Yi picked up the gong mallet and hit the gong.

He didn't spend money to see Sleeping Beauty!

The controlling force struck the gong four or five times in a row, and the sleeping beauty on the table was finally awakened by Li Yi.

Faced with the little lady's coquettishness, Li Yi turned a blind eye.

"I'm a little tired, you can play me a tune."

Leaning on the brocade couch, Li Yi did not forget to explain: "Help me watch Shi Xiang, remember to call me when the next shift is about to come." ”

At two o'clock, Li Yi walked out of the spring boudoir.

In the private room, Wang Jianchun and Xie Hui were already drinking morning tea.

They still didn't go to Tinglan Yuan and Juxiang Yuan last night.

"Lupin, what about them?" Li Yi asked casually

Xie Hui looked at Li Yi who had just come out with a smile, "Let's clean our hands together." Having said that, you are the latest to come out, and it seems that being young is different. ”

On the side, Wang Jianchun said curiously: "How many times did you last night?" ”

Li Yi Wenyan recalled the number of times he beat the shift, and replied truthfully: "Five times." ”

"Shhhh

Wang Jianchun gasped, and there was indescribable envy in his heart.

Xie Hui was a little unconvinced: "We will go to clean our hands after we finish our work, why don't we see you going?" ”

Well?

Although he didn't understand why he wanted to relieve himself after finishing the work, Li Yi still calmly replied: "Why didn't you go, I went back and forth three times, and I didn't meet you." ”

Xie Huihu glanced at Li Yi's neck and cheeks suspiciously, and asked, "Then tell me, how did you feel last night?" ”

Li Yi raised his eyebrows.

I'm not as good as you in terms of practical experience, can I still lose in theoretical knowledge?

Li Yi said almost without thinking: "I don't know how I felt last night, anyway, I can go to the mountain to be a monk now that I am pure!" ”

"You kid!" Xie Hui and Wang Jianchun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In place, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how you say this trip, it is also a guest invited by Wang Jianchun with his own reward, if he doesn't pretend to be like it, it is somewhat unreasonable.

Leaving Chunfeng Building, Li Yi first returned to Tongyue Restaurant and changed into a fast hunting suit, and then went to the mansion.

Along the way, Li Yi deliberately paid attention to the corners and corners of the street, but did not find Zhang Yuan's figure.

After passing through Wuyifang and coming to Yamen Street, Li Yi deliberately tidied up his clothes when he was about to arrive at the Yamen.

Today is his first day of official employment, and his demeanor must be neat and tidy.

When he arrived at the mansion, Li Yi looked up.

The first thing that came to mind was the four big characters 'Taikang Government Department' written on the plaque in the middle of the gate.

On the left side of the gate, there is a large drum supported by a wooden frame.

This kind of drum generally has two functions, one is used when the yamen is disbanded, and the other is to let the people who have grievances cry out their grievances.

Walking into the door of the house, there was a figure waiting there early.

Lu Ping smiled and waved his hand at Li Yi.

"Xie Tangshi specially instructed me to take you around and familiarize yourself with the government."

led Li Yi, Lu Ping first went to the court and talked to Li Yi about the personnel inside.

"There are water and fire sticks on this side, which are usually operated by the soap squad and are responsible for standing in the hall for execution......"

Li Yi listened to Lu Ping's explanation, but his eyes fell on the objects that were similar to torture instruments placed on the side.

"What kind of torture instruments are these?"

Lu Ping followed Li Yi's gaze and patiently explained: "This is a hand flail, used to trap prisoners, and that is a milk flail......"

Listening to Lu Ping's talk about various extremely inhumane torture instruments, Li Yi was silent.

The torture instruments of the capital are for the prisoners, but how can there be no innocent people in this official office who are destroyed by them.

The hand holding the knife gradually tightened, and Li Yi suddenly felt that the profession of catching fast seemed to be far heavier than other professions.

His gaze swept over the tiger bench and wooden donkey, and finally Li Yi landed his gaze on the crane title chart behind the public case.

There are four big characters on it: The mirror hangs high.
