"No, no, Uncle Ling has been an official in Kaifeng for many years, and he can be regarded as a clean official, and the official monuments of the people are very good. And Uncle Ling is such a careful and humble person, there must be no such enemy, willing to risk the world, commit such a despicable crime to deliberately embarrass him, if it is exposed, this is to be beheaded, at least a halve. According to the brother's humble opinion, this officialdom is embarrassed by Uncle Ling, and there must be other ways, so there is no need to commit such a huge case and alarm the world. The other was apparently unimpressed.

"Brother Zhao is right, it's just ...... Alas, it's just that in this officialdom, what kind of thing won't happen? Besides, even if it is not deliberately embarrassed by others, even if it is done by Jiangyang flower picking thieves, but such people in the rivers and lakes are high and high, and their skills are amazing, and it is extremely difficult for one person to be arrested, let alone two people? The longer it drags on, the more Uncle Jia can't get off the stage. ”

"Brother Yan doesn't need to worry too much, since the political envoy has sent a powerful head to supervise the case, I believe that the thief will be arrested soon. If it weren't for the fact that the people in the officialdom deliberately made it difficult, with Uncle Ling's moral character, the popularity of the officialdom would be that the scholars in Kaifeng also had a high reputation in the hearts of the scholars, and others also knew that it was extremely difficult for people in the rivers and lakes to commit crimes, and no one would make a fuss about this to make Uncle Ling embarrassed. ”

"Thank you Brother Chen, I only hope that the thieves will be arrested as soon as possible, so that my uncle can sleep in peace, and even the people of Kaifeng will be at peace."

……

"Brother Zhu, Brother Nangong, what do you think?" Desert leaned over and asked the two in a low voice.

Nangong Ling didn't say a word, just pursed his lips and nodded vigorously towards the desert. Zhu Wenyu had already heard it angrily, and slapped the table and said angrily: "Fuck, how can you ignore this kind of thing?" ”

"Shhhh Brother Zhu whispered. Desert hurriedly whispered.

"How?" Zhu Wenyu was a little inexplicable, and he couldn't understand what this desert was famous for, but his voice involuntarily lowered a lot.

"Brother Zhu, please think about it, since it is a Jiangyang thief, Kaifeng City must have already been loose on the outside and tight on the inside, densely covered with eyeliner, and must pay great attention to the people in the rivers and lakes. I'm afraid that my foreign accent has already entered the eyes of the people, and if you shout and make a fuss, aren't you afraid that the government will treat you as a suspect? ”

"Hey, I'm going to be scared of them? Seeing me, it's their turn to kowtow. ”

"Having said that, but the prefect kowtowed to you, Brother Zhu, do you still have time to take care of this case?"

"That's true." Zhu Wenyu patted his head embarrassedly, "It's still your boss Sha who reacts quickly, I really haven't thought about it so much, hehe." ”

Desert and Nangong Ling looked at each other and smiled.

The three of them returned to the inn and closed the door, Zhu Wenyu was about to change into night clothes and go out, and the desert stopped him again: "Where is Brother Zhu?" ”

"Look for those bitch flower thieves."

"Where is Brother Zhu going to look?" In a word, the desert made Zhu Wenyu speechless, looking at his stunned and lost look, even Nangong Ling was almost squirting out a mouthful of tea.

"Okay, okay, Lao Sha, you talk about it first, I don't have as fast a brain as you in handling the case, and it is estimated that the wood will not be successful, you can talk about it first."

"Today, I waited for the first time to Kaifeng, and I was not familiar with the road of life, and there were all stuffy flies everywhere, how can I get it blindly? Only wait tomorrow to inquire about the famous show girls and celebrities in Kaifeng City, and then we can deduce who the thieves' next target is. ”

"Brother Sha is right, Brother Zhu must not be reckless, it will not be possible to try his luck like this." Nangong Ling also nodded on the side, and actually interjected rarely.

Zhu Wenyu glanced at Nangong Ling, "Come on, you also mix up the wood?" Anyway, I can't sleep tonight, so it's better to go out and try my luck. ”

"Can Brother Zhu give the younger brother thirty taels of silver?" Desert asked.

"There are ready-made items in the bag, silver, silver tickets, gold leaves, you can take it yourself, what do you want silver? Didn't you ever ask for silver? Zhu Wenyu was surprised.

"Hehe, it's not yet the second watch, it's not too late, the little brother wants to go and find out the news."

"Oh? Where to find out? I'll go too. As soon as he heard that he was going out, Zhu Wenyu would never let go of the opportunity to play. Nangong Ling also glanced over to show an inquiring gaze, it seemed that he didn't understand where to go to the desert to find out what news at such a late hour.

"It's better not to go to such a place, two brothers. That's not where the two of them should go. ”

"What bullshit identity? Where? Tell me, why can't we go where you go? Zhu Wenyu was even more curious.

"Hey, it's brothels and casinos. These two places are the most mixed places, and the natural information is also the most well-informed, and in the past, when I handled cases, many clues were obtained from this second-class place. If you inquire about the beautiful houses of the ladies in the city, or the people in the rivers and lakes in Kaifeng City, you can naturally inquire clearly when you go to such places. Desert's face flushed slightly, slightly embarrassed.

"Ha, I thought why the mysterious place, I haven't gambled, I have opened a game in my house, I sit in the village, a bunch of guards gamble in my place in the dark, I have seen it a long time ago, let's go, go together." Zhu Wenyu was very arrogant and didn't care at all.

"Go ahead, I won't go." Nangong Lingdao. He was born in a family, his family education is very strict, and he always pays attention to his status and status, and he is unwilling to go to those places where he is indiscriminate. Besides, the teasing and flirting of those dusty women in broad daylight has made him red-faced, and he doesn't know how to deal with it if he wants to go to those people's nests to find out what news, so it's better to stay away, anyway, it's enough for Zhu Sha and the two to go.

"Haha, the wood is thin-skinned, the concentration is not enough, I can't see the beautiful girl, you better stay in the inn honestly." Zhu Wenyu always looks for opportunities to make fun of Nangong Ling, but Nangong Ling is kind and smooth, and he has been with Zhu Wenyu for so long, he has long been used to this kind of joke, and he just laughs and says nothing.

The two of them came out. The desert has been handling cases for a long time, and he has long been experienced, so he took Zhu Wenyu to look for the lively place where the lights were bright, and only then did he turn two streets, and sure enough, he saw several fireworks and willow alleys. The two of them came for a purpose, and picked the most lively and gorgeous green building, and only then did they enter the door, and a turtle man sang: "The two distinguished guests, the little maids serve tea, and the girls are waiting——"

Just entered the door, I felt that there was a wealth and prosperity in front of me, upstairs and downstairs from time to time to come and go, the girls piled up and smeared powder, some helped a drunk man to go upstairs, and some upstairs to a man who hurriedly walked out with his head down: "Xianggong, come next time, Xiaocui misses you day and night, don't let me wait too long." There was a strong smell of fat powder in the air, which went straight to Zhu Wenyu's nose, and there was a faint hint of pipa or silk bamboo in the noisy human voice. Zhu Wenyu grew up in the palace, and the richness and luxury of the decoration here are no less than the inner courtyard of the palace, but it has two completely different tastes and feelings from the harem, without that solemnity and solemnity, but like an upstart who has been smeared with a thousand layers of fat powder, which makes Zhu Wenyu extremely unaccustomed to it, and can't help frowning and rubbing his nose. The desert shook and walked straight inward with Zhu Wenyu without saying a word.

All of a sudden, a chubby old bustard-like woman came out, all red and green, with a flattering smile on her face, the finger powder was about to fall off, and a flattering look was thrown between her eyebrows and eyes from time to time, making Zhu Wenyu almost vomit out of her stomach.

"Oops, it turned out that two princes and distinguished guests came. The two ministers sat upstairs quickly. Girls, come and wait. Big teapot, where did the death go? Hurry up, put the best dragon well on it. Two sons, please, please, upstairs private room. It's the first time you've come, right? Ouch ouch, what a rare guest, rare guest. I wonder if the two sons have a girl who knows each other? We have girls everywhere here, Suzhou girls who are in the water, Datong Mansion in the white and pure, and those in the capital, all of them are better than Xi Shi Sai Mink Zen, empathetic, water-like characters, keep to the satisfaction of the two sons, come, the two sons upstairs, please ......"

The old bustard twisted his ass and led the way upstairs in front, and Zhu Wenyu asked the desert in a low voice: "How does this old pig woman know that we are here for the first time?" ”

"The bustards in the Qinglou are all thieves. This green building is full of people, ushered in the send-off, they read countless people, staring at your pocket with wide eyes, trying their best to dig out your silver, if you come the second time she can recognize you, more flattery and flattery, you are naturally more willing to pay her silver, so these people's ability to remember people is first-class. Desert whispered.

"Ha, I see, this is also a skill." Zhu Wenyu smiled dumbly.
