Chapter 35: Roll call

With this kind of thing, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, Bai Yu still comes according to his own life schedule, goes home first, makes up for a return sleep, and has lunch with Tao Yulian at noon, Tao Yulian makes tea for him, he half leans on the recliner to drink tea, Tao Yulian takes out needlework and fabric to do embroidery, and chats as usual.

Bai Yu found that as the days passed, Tao Yulian was no longer as afraid of him as she was at the beginning, she was obviously much more relaxed, and she gradually talked more.

Tao Yulian said that ten years have passed, and the old man is still young in his twenties, and she has not changed at all, but she is in her thirties, like a young husband and old wife, and she feels that the neighbors always look at her strangely.

Bai Yu told her that she was not old at all, she was still as beautiful as she was ten years ago, and even more charming, and both of them were the most suitable age.

After a warm hug before leaving, Bai Yu led the horse away and went on a "business trip".

When he arrived at the dock near Jingzhao Mansion, got on a civilian boat, and went down the river, Bai Yu saw that when he went downstream, the river god would not help, and it seemed that the river god also knew how to save effort.

His heart moved slightly, his eyes were cool, he used the eye of reconnaissance, looked into the big river, and saw many aquatic creatures such as fish and shrimp, and the bottom was silt and mud, and he did not find any creatures that were "suspected of being river gods".

"The book doesn't say what the river god looks like, this is a royal secret, can't you say? Or is it common sense that everyone knows that doesn't need to be said? ”

"Does the river god refer to a single creature that has been condensed and formed, or is it a spiritual substance scattered throughout the river?"

"If the river god is a single creature, then where is it hiding?"

"If it's a spiritual substance scattered throughout the river, why hasn't my Scouting Eye found anything unusual? It stands to reason that my Scouting Eye can discover spiritual substances, and even the five true dragons of the Imperial Dynasty can't hide the Scouting Eye in their twilight years, let alone the River God. ”

Jinhe County is far away from Jingzhao Mansion, and it will take at least three days to arrive, and Bai Yu is also idle, so he simply played the "game of finding the river god".

He stood on the deck, with his recon eye open, staring into the river all the time.

In addition to eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, he kept staring at the river.

On the first day, the other guests thought he might be too boring, but it was nothing.

But on the second and third days, he was still staring at the river in a daze, and the other guests felt that he was somewhat problematic, and they all stayed away from him.

"From Jingzhao Mansion to Jinhe County, I have seen thousands of miles of riverbeds, and I have not found the river god, the river god is either in the upper reaches of Jingzhao Mansion or in the lower reaches of Jinhe County, of course, it is also possible that I happened to miss the river ......god when I was eating, sleeping and going to the toilet."

When he arrived at the wharf in Jinhe County, Bai Yu led the horse down from the civilian boat.

rode a horse and walked slowly to the county seat, which was the professional attitude of a "qualified" secretary, and went too fast as if he cared about the case.

For some reason, he rode his horse and suddenly raised his hooves and galloped.

"Ma'er, Ma'er, could it be that you have spirituality, and you can't bear the suffering of the people in the town, and urge the official to hurry up and handle the case?"

Bai Yu felt strange.

Immediately afterwards, he knew that he was thinking too much, that a beast was a beast, that there was no spirituality, only instinct, and that the horse was chasing after the butt of a beautiful white horse and sniffing it out of order.

Noticing the figure of a woman in black clothes and black robes on the back of a beautiful white horse, Bai Yu felt his scalp tingle.

The black-clothed and black-robed figure Huo Ran turned around, her posture was beautiful, she was stunned for a moment and then reacted, she was embarrassed and angry, she pressed the long sword hanging on the saddle with her hand, and it was instantly unsheathed.

The long sword rolled with cold light, and it looked like it was about to be slashed.

"Zheng Yan'er!"

Bai Yu didn't expect that the first time he used the roll call skill, he would use it on the "friend" of the Demon Slayer Division.

Zheng Yan'er seemed to be electrocuted, her whole body stiffened, and the long sword lost control, falling to the ground and sticking into the ground.

Bai Yu hurriedly pulled the reins and beat the horse away from her.

Zheng Yan'er recovered quickly, and looked at Bai Yu in surprise, what kind of magic is this, calling her name made her stiff and unable to move, as if she was saying a word, and her technique was almost Tao.

For a while, she was a little stunned, but she didn't make another move.

Bai Yu hurriedly smiled with his hand, "Miss Zheng, this ...... Lord Ben, I don't know what's going on with this horse, it didn't behave anything unusual when it saw other horses, but for some reason, when it saw Miss Zheng's horse, it was like going crazy. ”

"Miss Ben's horse is a pure-blooded Wushan Liuyun horse, which is different."

Zheng Yan'er frowned.

Hey? She recalled that this inspection does not call itself a "lower official", nor does it call itself a "local official", why does she call herself this lord?

She took a closer look at the official robe on Bai Yu's body, and couldn't help but laugh, it turned out that she had been promoted, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and she was the ninth grade, which was half a grade smaller than the original inspection from the ninth grade.

But this is not right, this lord is the self-proclaimed noble, and the secretary of the criminal department does not call himself like this.

"That's right, it's not that Lord Ben's horse is rude, but that Miss Zheng's horse bloodline is too noble, and she can't help but want to get close."

Bai Yu complimented her.

Zheng Yan'er asked curiously, "Are you knighted?" ”

I just found out now! Bai Yu smiled modestly, "Some time ago, on a whim, I opened a shop called Tianxiang Yulu, but I didn't expect it to be like that, and it was widely loved by the wives and ladies of high-ranking officials and nobles, princes and nobles, and I couldn't control the situation a little, so I dedicated Tianxiang Yulu to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Longyan Dayue, and sealed the male of Qifeng County." ”

Zheng Yan'er was surprised, "The Tianxiang Yulu that recently moved the dynasty was originally opened by you. ”

Bai Yu felt that she didn't have any murderous intentions, so she slowly approached the past, and said almost closely, "When I was in Linfu County, Miss Zheng and Lord Ben didn't know each other, if Miss Zheng needed any perfume, just ask, Lord Ben would definitely give you priority." ”

"Miss Ben never uses rouge gouache and doesn't need any perfume."

Zheng Yan'er made a faint move, and the long sword inserted in the ground flew up and fell back into the scabbard with precision.

It can be seen that she has been without makeup, and the "killer feature" of perfume is useless to her, Bai Yu feels regretful, "Also, Miss Zheng is naturally beautiful, so she doesn't need such a gadget." ”

Zheng Yan'er glanced at Bai Yu's horse coldly, "Everything is only three times, this is the second time, and next time, Miss Ben will definitely slaughter your horse!" ”

"Promise there won't be a next time."

Bai Yu smiled, "Actually, this time is different from last time, last time at the dock, so many people watched, it really made Miss Zheng embarrassed, this time no one else saw it except the two of us, I won't say it, Miss Zheng will definitely not, so this time the girl doesn't have to mind too much." ”

"Phew!"

Zheng Yan'er blushed and said, "If no one sees it, can you not care?" ”

Having said that, she looked around weakly and was relieved to see that no one had noticed.

She thought about it carefully, and felt that what this "Qifeng County man" said also made some sense, no one saw it this time, it was indeed not as embarrassing as last time, and it seemed that she could barely accept it.

"Are you here to talk to Jinhe County about this case?"

She didn't want to continue talking about this and changed the subject.

Bai Yu said, "This case has been shelved in the Criminal Department for a long time and there has been no progress, this lord will follow up, see that Miss Zheng's direction is also to Jinhe County, it should also be for this case, right?" ”

"That's right."

Zheng Yan'er looked absentmindedly ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.

Bai Yu asked, "The one who wears a one-eyed patch in the Demon Slayer Division...... Uh, that's Ling Zun, why didn't he come? ”

Zheng Yan'er said, "Judging from the circumstances of the case, the level of the monster is not high, and there is no need for my father to come in person, Miss Ben is enough." ”

When I arrived at the Yamen of Jinhe County, the old county order and several other adults in the Yamen warmly received Zheng Yan'er, well, and Bai Yu.

Bai Yu could see that the old county commander's attitude towards Zheng Yan'er was obviously much more respectful than that of him, this was not intended to target him, but that the reputation of the Demon Eradication Division was too great, as long as the Demon Eradication Division came, there would be no monsters that could not be eliminated.

As for the secretary of the criminal department, people who don't know about it may take a look at it, and the name "the adult sent by the criminal department" is also quite bluffing, and those who really understand the position of the secretary may "hehe" in their hearts, and they understand everything.

Judging from the attitude of the old county order, it is obvious that he understands the position of secretary of the criminal department, but he did not treat Bai Yu coldly, but his attention was all on Zheng Yan'er's side, and he told her the details of the case 1510.
