The main body is busy training Oiran in the Workshop Division.

In the inspection institute, the second body is with Zong Hongqing and other colleagues, and has been running outside for the past year, investigating demonic intelligence and looking for secret agents from enemy countries.

I just returned to Kyoto today, and I was going to take a break, so I asked Zong Hongqing and Lan Yanjie to go to the Jiaofang Division for dinner in the evening.

The three of them were approached by their boss Pei Haijiang again.

In the simple hall, Pei Haijiang sat behind the table and pushed a file to the table.

Said: "Yesterday, the patrol guards who went to the south of Kyoto to patrol, two of them disappeared near Yanhua County, the three of you went to run to find out the reason for the disappearance, if you encounter demons, you can deal with them as much as possible, try to catch them alive, otherwise they will be killed on the spot." ”

"If the demon is too powerful, come back immediately and report it, and it will be dealt with by the Taoist sect and Confucianism."

"Yes, sir."

After Lan Yanjie took the file, he left Pei Haijiang's hall with Chu Ge and Zong Hongqing.

As soon as he came out, Zong Hongqing complained:

"I thought I could rest for two days, but I just came back and I was alive again, and the little ladies of the Teaching Department would miss me."

Chu Ge ruthlessly exposed: "Just your little offering, the little lady of the Teaching Workshop Division, I don't miss you." ”

The three of them laughed and walked out of the yamen of the inspection institute, and after taking the horses, they hurried towards the outside of the southern city.

Yanhua County is a prefecture attached to Kyoto, and it is not far from Kyoto.

The three of them rode fast horses, and in about two hours, they arrived at the destination of this trip.

According to the records in the file, the two patrol guards came over for a routine inspection yesterday, but they have not returned to order it today, and the secret agents who contacted Yanhua County have not responded.

It is very likely that he was victimized by demons.

Zong Hong snorted coldly and said, "These monsters have become more and more arrogant recently, and they dare to go directly to the vicinity of Kyoto to make trouble, which is really bold. ”

Chu Ge said: "It is very likely that he was passing by, he committed a crime near Kyoto, and killed the people of the inspection institute, if he doesn't run, then this demon is estimated to have a problem with his brain, let's come over this time, it is estimated that it is to investigate the cause of death, and there is not much chance of meeting the other party." ”

Lan Yanjie nodded approvingly.

The three of them entered the county seat, and after taking care of the horses, they prepared to start the investigation.

As an annex to Kyoto City, this Yanhua County is naturally very prosperous.

There are thousands of households in the county, and it would take at least a few days to check them all.

A few people walked on the street, and on the side of the street, all kinds of shouting and selling continued.

"Sugar gourd, big and sweet sugar gourd......"

"Selling steamed buns, freshly baked hot steamed buns......"

"Sir, come up and have a drink."

The three of them turned their heads to look at each other in unison.

A small two-story building with a hanging moon incense temple sits at the corner of the street.

As a person in half of the industry, Chu Ge knows that this big departure of the Qinglou can judge the specifications by the suffix.

The first and second class green buildings are mainly suffix with "courtyard", "pavilion" and "pavilion".

The third and fourth classes are mostly named after "building", "class" and "shop".

There is actually a first-class green building in Yanhua County, which is really worthy of being attached to Kyoto, and the consumption power is indeed okay.

After all, although the price of this kind of green building cannot be compared with that of the Teaching Workshop Division, it will cost at least five dollars of silver to pay for the wine, and if you want to sleep with a girl, according to the quality, it will cost one to three taels.

Ordinary people can't afford it.

At this time, it was already noon, and the girls in the Qinglou had already opened their doors diligently, and several beautiful girls wearing light gauze leaned on the beauties on the second floor, smiling at the passers-by.

When he saw someone who was exquisitely dressed and could afford to eat seafood, he immediately waved the colored handkerchief in his hand eagerly, hoping to sell the new tender and juicy seafood he had produced to the other party.

Chu Ge and the three of them glanced at each other.

Immediately, they saw what they were thinking in their eyes.

Chu Ge smiled and proposed, "It's noon now, why don't we eat here?" ”

Zong Hongqing said with a smile: "It's so good, only when you are full can you have the strength to catch the demon." ”

Lan Yanjie: "Good! ”

As soon as the three of them approached the Yuexiang Courtyard, an old bustard who had already noticed this side greeted them with a few of the best girls in the courtyard.

After all, the official uniforms of the inspection institute, they who do business, will not be unrecognizable.

"A few adults, please go upstairs to the private room, and the slave family will arrange the best girls for the adults to come and serve."

The three of them were warmly received by the bustard and went upstairs to the private room.

Soon, a little turtle brought up the best wine and dishes.

A few people were eating while enjoying the girls' little hand massage, and they had a very tacit understanding of the wine.

Chu Ge patted the small hand of the gorgeous little lady who was pouring wine next to him, with round and charming eyes, and asked casually:

"What strange things have happened in Yanhua County recently?"

Chu Ge and they chose to come in for dinner, naturally not only to enjoy the services of the little ladies, but also to investigate intelligence, which is also one of the reasons.

After all, a place like Qinglou is the most well-informed.

After a few taels of drinking, those old men like to hold the little lady's little hand, boasting about their proud things and novel experiences.

Sure enough, the little lady frowned lightly, thought for a moment and said:

"Back to my lord, there is nothing special in this county, but yesterday there was a water in the west, but fortunately it was quickly extinguished, and the loss was not big, but a few people were burned to death."

Chu Ge's eyes moved slightly.

Chu Ge continued to ask, "Has the county government ever found out the identity of the deceased?" ”

The little lady said: "Last night, I heard a messenger in the government mention that the body had been charred and difficult to identify, but after checking the nearby residents, only one grocery store owner was missing, probably one of the deceased, and the others should not be locals." ”

Chu Ge already had a guess in his heart.

It seems that the owner of the grocery store should be an agent of the Inspection Institute, and the rest are probably the missing guards.

After lunch, Chu Ge and the others politely declined the little ladies' invitation to stay and eat seafood.

Leaving Yuexiang Courtyard, I came to the Yanhua County Mansion.

After receiving a report from the government officials that three inspectors from the inspection institute had come to investigate the case, Zhu Gao, the county commander of Yanhua County, hurriedly ran out of the back hall to greet him.

After seeing Chu Ge and the three of them, he immediately sneered and said, "Three adults, the carriage and horses are tired, let's have a cup of tea first." ”

As a large county with more than 10,000 people, the official level of the county order is naturally higher than that of the ordinary county order, and the official residence is from the sixth grade, which is half a cut higher than Chu Ge.

But Chu Ge and they are people from the Inspection Academy, and they can't be judged by ordinary ranks.

Chu Ge and they don't talk nonsense.

asked directly: "There was a fire in Yanhua County yesterday, how many corpses are there, but in the mansion?" ”

After hearing this, the government sighed in his heart.

Then he hurriedly said: "Those who are there, are in the mortuary at the back." ”

Chu Ge said: "Take us over to have a look." ”
