After resting for two days at the Lu'an Inn, the letter to King Yan was also written, and a proper person was selected by the desert to be sent to the palace of King Yan of Yingtian, before leaving, Zhu Wenyu carefully told him to hand over to King Yan in person, and not to let anyone else handle it, this was actually reminded by the desert the night before, and now I only know that maybe there are people in the court of the silver medal organization, but I don't know who it is.

The two horses of Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling were well fed and fed under the care of the shopkeeper, and they were in good spirits and quite handsome, so they simply did not change horses. The desert also picked a good horse in the county office, casually packed up some daily belongings and prepared to go on the road with Zhu Wenyu and them. Before leaving, Zhu Wenyu settled the money for the store, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything, but the desert said a few words, and the shopkeeper accepted it tremblingly. Zhu Wenyu turned his head and glared at Wu Guangzu, the county magistrate who was standing next to him to see him off: "County master, you are a good official, you are not allowed to exploit the people, if you let me know what is wrong, I will cut it first and then play it, first cut off your dog's head and kick it as a ball, if you do it well, you will naturally have benefits." Wu Guangzu hurriedly bowed down and agreed: "Don't dare." Can't. The lower officials must do their best for the court. With a respectful smile on his face, he was puzzled and complained in his heart about this inexplicable, sycophant, and unbeatable man, like a scoundrel who was better than the court officials.

"Okay, let's go, please go back." Nangong Ling straddled the horse.

"Master, the villain is gone." After all, the desert has been here for several years, and Wu Guangzu didn't embarrass him much, and he still appreciated his talents, so he bowed respectfully to the county lord at this time.

"Congratulations to Lord Chincha." Wu Guangzu also bowed to see off Zhu Wenyu and the others, and the two bowed to each other like this, but it was as if the desert was Lord Qincha and Wu Guangzu was sending him off.

The two of them had already beaten their horses in front.

With the desert by his side, Zhu Wenyu was really happy countless times in his heart. According to Zhu Wenyu's words, Nangong Ling was a "dumb wood" who just smiled and didn't speak, and he couldn't hold back a few words for a long time. Many deserts are different, they are close in age, and the desert is also a free and easy person, and they are familiar with each other, and they naturally talk more, and they only listen to the two of them along the way, joking and saying some witty words, you come and I talk back and forth, and I feel that time is much easier. The three of them rode side by side, and Nangong Lingzi still rarely spoke, occasionally Zhu Wenyu and the desert joked with each other or interjected a sentence or two when the two made fun of themselves, and most of the time they just smiled and watched the two of them bickering.

The three of them traveled all the way west, but the three of them knew that there were two major mysteries unsolved, and they had something in their hearts, which was much faster than when Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling walked together, but in more than ten days, they had arrived at the famous city of Kaifeng.

Kaifeng Mansion is located on the shore of the Yellow River, is the famous ancient capital of the Central Plains, formerly known as Daliang, Bianliang, Tokyo, Bianjing, etc. Since the Wei State during the Warring States Period, it was followed by Later Liang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou. To the Song Dynasty Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and the Great Song Dynasty built the capital here, after nine emperors 168 years, only to move south to Hangzhou because of the war, and then the Jin Dynasty also took this as the capital, so the history is called "the capital of the seven dynasties". In the old days, the ancient capital had a myriad of weather, and its prosperity was more than that of the Tiandu City.

Zhu Wenyu had heard of the prosperity and liveliness of Kaifeng City, and had heard a lot of anecdotes about Bao Qingtian in the capital. The desert and Nangong Ling have never been to such a prosperous place, and they are all young people, curious about everything, and they don't stay on the horse all the way.

Kaifeng City is really worthy of the previous dynasty Kyoto, the Central Plains famous city, everywhere red walls and green tiles, Zhumen stone lions, revealing a sense of grandeur, the street merchants are thriving, all kinds of shops with flowers and greens, the literati who come and go, it is not dark when they first enter the city, the three of them randomly picked a teahouse to rest and drink tea, there are indeed a lot of talented scribes dressed in scarves to talk and laugh papers, fight poems and punish wine, Zhu Wenyu can listen to it, the desert did not even pay attention to a few calls to him. Nangong Ling was not very interested in talking about poetry and writing, but paid a little attention to the architectural pattern along the street, looking at the carved beams and paintings for a while, and looking at the layout of the direction for a while. Who knew that there were a few gorgeously decorated buildings that were the places for fireworks and fireworks in the green buildings in Willow Lane, and a few dusty women saw Nangong Ling, a handsome young man, staring in this direction, and greeted the three of them in the attic, and flew a lot of Qiubo with a charming smile, making Nangong Ling red-faced, and quickly turned his head, and Zhu Sha and the two laughed in their eyes. It's just that the two of them have never experienced such a scene, and they can't stand this fragrance, so they drank tea with Nangong Ling and left after checking out, not daring to stay longer.

The three of them played for a long time, met a large façade, the magnificent "Central Plains Inn", discussed a few words and then went to live, at that time the three of them got along very well, and a few days ago, Zhu Wenyu just booked a large set of rooms, and the three of them lived in the same room. Zhu Wenyu has been in the palace for a long time, he has never known that silver money is precious, Nangong Ling is from a family, and it is rare to have the idea of saving money in his head, as for the desert, there are Zhu Wenyu and the two, after all, they feel that their identities are different, and they just quietly obey the arrangement, although they feel a little wasteful, but it is inconvenient to say anything, but they secretly sigh in their hearts that these sons and brothers from rich families are different after all, and they are generous, and one day's store money can spend on the expenses of ordinary farmers for a month.

Just put down his luggage and settled down at the beginning, Zhu Wenyu couldn't get enough of it, so he said that he wanted to go to the street to play. Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Lingdu are first-class martial arts practitioners, and no one has put the dust of the day's road in their eyes, and they are still in good spirits, so they go out together.

It was almost dark, and the shops on the street lit the lanterns at the door early, and the lanterns and candles were more lively and festive than during the day.

"Let's go around and find a place to eat and fill my stomach." Zhu Wenyu was excited.

Not far away, there is a "Invite Moon Building", with a big red couplet pasted at the door, which is written the famous sentence of Li Qinglian, a Taibai layman: "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes three people." Zhu Wenyu used to particularly like the chic and dusty artistic conception in these two poems, and said at a glance: "That's it." The other two had no objections.

This Yueyue Building is really a big restaurant, the business is excellent, it is full of people everywhere, only a private room upstairs, or separated by a screen, there are a few young people at the table next door who are drinking and laughing, brightly dressed, and there are a few birdcages next to it, and he is a local rich man. The three of them didn't care, so they sat down around the table on the side of the screen, and saw that the moon outside the window was bright and quiet, and the autumn breeze slightly sent a burst of refreshing coolness, which was really very pleasant.

Xiao Er came to have good wine and good food, Zhu Wenyu rarely drank, although there was always good wine in Xianlan Courtyard, but when he was a child, he once grabbed Old Master Chen's wine without knowing anything, and as a result, he was choked with red faces, red ears, tears, and his throat was so spicy that he couldn't speak, and later he was a little disgusted with wine, and rarely drank alcohol. Now that the internal strength is first-class, drinking is no longer a problem, even if you drink one or two jars, you can also use internal force to remove the power of alcohol, just drink water, there is no possibility of getting drunk, but he is still a little disgusted, and he never thought of drinking. This situation made him feel like he was drinking, and he called Xiao Er to drink. The desert duo didn't think it was surprising that he knew about his childhood. The desert tasted a sip, straight to the good wine, asked Xiao Er, Xiao Er said proudly: "The guest officer is right, this wine is the wine we invite Yuelou to brew by themselves, Fang Yuan is four or five hundred miles only this one, there is no semicolon, it is a must in Kaifeng Mansion, called 'thyme', the wine is mellow and rich, it is a good wine that has been hidden in the kiln for ten years, the incense of the altar is floating for hundreds of miles, and even the gods have to drool." ”

"Hahahaha, this cowhide is blown, 'fragrant for a hundred miles', is it so powerful?" Zhu Wenyu was in a very good mood, drank two sips, laughed, he rarely drank alcohol, he couldn't taste any good wine, for him the entrance was the same, if the old master Chen saw it, he had to stomp his feet and sigh: "Alas, the cow chews the peony!" It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

"Yes, yes, the guest officer is a person who has seen the world, and he will not take the thyme in the small shop in his eyes, but this thyme is a local famous wine, and the guest officer might as well get drunk, and it is not in vain to come here to Kaifeng." The shopkeeper of this Yueyue Building is well-trained, and he knows from the accents of Zhu Wenyu and others that the three of them are not locals, so he still greets him with a smile and leaves one by one.

"Ah, yes, yes, it's really nice to drink upstairs." Zhu Wenyu stretched. Drink two more sips of wine, the poetry is prosperous, and he sings casually: "The refreshing breeze invites the moon building, the clouds are sparse and the moon is bright, the fragrance is more into a glass of wine, and the horse flies around the nineteen states." ”

After groaning, his face showed a smug look, and he turned back to Nangong Ling and said, "Wood, you also have a good time?" Nangong Ling is not good at literature, smiled and took a sip of wine, shook his head, and said: "Brother Zhu is so literate, I can't do it." ”

"Haha, Eagle, what about you? You can have one too, isn't it just playing? Zhu Wenyu turned his head again and asked the desert.

But seeing that the desert did not agree, he just lowered his head with his wine glass and said nothing, thoughtfully. Zhu Wenyu said strangely: "Lao Sha ......"

Desert stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, pointing behind him, Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling came over for a while, it turned out that Desert was listening to a few sons next door, so they all quieted down and listened.

I just heard the humanity next door: "Until now, several rich ladies have been killed, and some even Yahuan have been raped and killed together." ”

"Exactly, the daughter of the Zhao family in the west of the city, Miss Li family, the daughter-in-law of the Jade Zhai Wang family in the north of the city, and Miss Liu Cui'e of the Liu family in the south of the city last night, one of the best ladies in Kaifeng City, was raped and killed by thieves. In the past half a month, four young ladies have been killed. Uncle Jia said that the political envoy Zhang Fengming and Master Zhang had strictly ordered the investigation, and he also heard that the provincial head had been sent to supervise the case. ”

"Brother Yan, Uncle Ling, Governor Yan's Mansion is also in charge of the punishment of a city, there must be some insiders, what did he say?"

"Uncle Jia is also at a loss now, several young ladies are all dead miserable, first in their sleep by the incense, then by thieves, and finally by a knife cut throat, or choked to death. The thief is indeed ruthless, and has no pity for the jade. ”

"Who is so wolf-hearted and spicy? It's really not as good as a pig and a dog. There was a clatter of tapping on the table.

"He said that there were two perpetrators, and he said the same after the arrest and investigation of the crime scene. Uncle Jia felt that this case was committed by Jiang Yang thief, if it was not a thief picking flowers in the rivers and lakes, or someone in the officialdom was behind the instigation, and deliberately committed the crime to make him embarrassed and embarrassed his uncle......"
