King Jing
"If you don't climb over the wall, how can those tails keep up." Wu Yaoan said and put the chess in his hand on the chessboard.
"Then you can come during the day!" At this time, Dali hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and he was very unhappy to be called out in the middle of the night.
"This is the lake! There are many people who come to fish during the day. Wu Yaoan said as he turned around and took the things that were handed over vigorously, looked at them a few times, and then put them on the chessboard.
"Why are there so many? Did you do what I asked you to find? Wu Yao'an spoke softly, and he couldn't hear the slightest anger.
"I found it according to your instructions, I heard from the master, there are some who reported the case and withdrew the case, some did not report to the government at all, it is rumored that it has been embarrassing in recent years, and some that do not meet your requirements have not been copied down."
"Losing so many people?" Wu Yaoan glanced down at the chessboard and asked, "Who are the other people who are not recorded?" β
"There are all kinds of lively things, there are old and young farmers, slaves who work in various villages, and some craftsmen." Da Wu thought about the copied case file and said.
"It's not these." Wu Yaoan shook his head, and then changed his question, "I mean, aren't most of the missing people who died male?" β
Seeing the two nodding, Wu Yao'an's heart suddenly beat violently, and she seemed to be suddenly closer to the mystery.
Over there, Wei Chi also turned her head to look at the three of them, how could she not understand what Wu Yaoan meant? In this world, collecting strong men is nothing more than for those powers.
These people~ let the people die for the power, and let the people die for the power. If there is any worry about the world, it is nothing more than worrying about one's own heart.
Wei Chi raised his head, looked at Mingyue who was slowly covered by dark clouds, and sighed slightly, I hope that this time grandpa is right, I hope that I can get out of the way.
I only listened to the vigorous force in the ship and continued: "And most people are no more than forty years old when they disappear, and the younger ones are even fifteen or sixteen years old, more like..."
"Conscription." Wei Chi's thin lips rose slightly, and his voice was only half the size of a few people, but it was enough for three people to hear it really and shudder.
Hearing this, the three of them instantly stopped breathing, and finally came back to their senses first, and said intermittently: "My lord... You can't talk nonsense. β
"I'll find out tomorrow."
Wu Yaoan was calm, although she guessed this possibility in her heart, she was still a little frightened when she said it from others. Then she came up with an even more incredible conclusion, which made her look more excited than everyone else.
"By the way, have you received the invitation from King Jing's Mansion?" Before parting, Wu Yaoan took out the invitation card and asked.
"Roger." Nodding vigorously, the two of them had jumped back into their boats.
"Then we'll see you that day, you can go back and rest these days, and then we may have to investigate the case in a different way."
Wu Yaoan said and waved his hand, and the two boats went in opposite directions.
Xu is case has made great progress, Wu Yao is peace of mind relaxed, lying on the board of the boat, against the moonlight looking at Wei Chi, who was holding the boat a little glowing.
"You think we'll spend the night just lying on the board of the boat tonight?"
Hearing the voice, Wei Chi looked down, and then said a very beautiful sentence: "Moisture enters the body, it is easy to get sick, this is not Chang'an, if it is serious, I am afraid of my life." β
"You said that you are a person who walks the rivers and lakes, and you still pay attention to these? If a line of chivalry accidentally strays into the barren mountains and mountains when he is doing righteousness, wouldn't he use the earth as a bed, the sky as a cover, and the stone as a pillow? How can you still take care of all this? β
Although Wu Yaoan has never walked the rivers and lakes, this is what the rivers and lakes look like in her head.
"No, it won't." Wei Chi turned his head and glanced in the direction.
"It's not so much about wandering the rivers and lakes, it's better to say that I'm going to travel, but when I encounter injustices, I will draw my sword to help, and I'm not like those heroes who specialize in helping the weak."
"Wandering? But I've heard that your reputation in the rivers and lakes is so great that even that DΓΌrer is afraid of three points. β
Wu Yaoan was a little curious, the eldest lady of the good Guogong Mansion didn't do it, so she had to go out to travel?
She believes that Wei Chi's opinion is still capable, and it is not impossible to find an official position in the army. Taking a step back, even if the official family is afraid of the old forces of the Guogong Mansion, then Wei Chi's force can easily be the head of the Ouchi.
Wu Yaoan always felt that her martial arts and strategies were a waste if she didn't serve the court.
"It's a cloud tour, and I've been traveling since I came out of my home, but I've never experienced what you call sleeping in the open."
Wei Chi said and tied the rope to the bridge post on the shore, and then helped Wu Yaoan to jump ashore.
"As for your reputation, I don't know why it's the way it is. As for the name of the Seven Stars. Wei Chi glanced at the Tang knife on his waist, "This knife is called Qixing." β
"What about the others? Will other people on the rivers and lakes sleep in the open? Wu Yaoan sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain restlessly, leaking his head to look at Wei Chi, who was driving the car.
"I don't know, there are so many people on the rivers and lakes, I rarely have contact with those people." Wei Chi said with a little hemp rope, and then whipped the whip on the horse's buttocks, "Sit tight, see that the weather is going to rain, we have to go back quickly." β
Wu Yaoan snorted slightly, she knew that Wei Chi didn't want to mention her own affairs, and there were some things that she didn't rush for a while, so she simply didn't ask again, and sat back honestly.
Jianghu? Wei Chi thought about it, although he has a lot of names in the rivers and lakes, every feat he does will have an additional title.
But no one knows their identity, after all, they don't often stay in the same place, and they don't have a fixed outfit like their chivalrous warriors. It's not like those knights who get together from time to time.
She has the backing of the Guogong Mansion, she is not short of money, and she will not make money like those people who sit with some high-profile customers, so naturally she will rarely contact those people. Even if there were, they were hermits like hermit.
Thinking like this, Wei Chi smiled slightly. It's not that she doesn't have friends in the rivers and lakes, but those people not only have very different personalities, but even their tempers are weird, and they don't have the etiquette of these nobles in Chang'an City, but they have the righteousness of the people in the rivers and lakes.
I still remember when I was young, I just went out to travel, and met bandits who robbed houses on the way, and saw that the gangster was about to attack the child, and the sense of justice in Wei Chi's heart suddenly rose, but he forgot that he was too young to defeat four hands with one punch, and he was almost killed in the forest with several knives in his body.
But it just so happened that two small local gangs were fighting here, and after hearing their voices, they immediately stopped the fight, and rescued her from the gang.
In the end, because of his meritorious service in helping the government to suppress bandits in disguise, he was rewarded by the yamen. Because the two gangs have eased a lot since then, after all, they are also well-known figures on the Yamen's side, and it is not good to fight in private.
And Wei Chi has also received a lot of praise in the two gangs for his feat, and he can abandon life and death at a young age, and be a model for real things.
even earned her to go to her own gang to recuperate, and almost got into a fight because of whose house she was recuperating from. In the end, Wei Chi thought of a compromise method, recuperating his injuries in one family, and paying two silver in the other to calm down.
After hearing the sound of rain, the lieutenant came back to his senses lately, turned to Wu Yaoan slightly and said: "It's raining in Shaoqing, the road is slippery after the rain, I'm afraid it will be unsafe for us to walk at night." β
Wu Yaoan reached out to open the curtain when he heard this, looked at the rain outside and stretched out his hand a little more, feeling the cold feeling of the rain falling on the palm of his hand.
"It's not safe, I remember there was a hunter when I came, why don't I go and see if I can rest for the night."
"It's not far from us." Wei Chi raised his whip as he spoke, and quickened his march again.
"Fortunately, we rode our horses and galloped all the way without stopping, and it rained as soon as we arrived at the mansion." Da Wu said and patted the rain splashing on his body.
"I don't know if Xiaodouzi has gone back." After speaking vigorously, he sighed, although he waved his hand and looked sleepy, "Forget it, I haven't slept for a few days, and it's her business that she can't come back." β
"I've always had a question for you." Early in the morning, when the two of them came out of the Orion's house, Wei Chi suddenly spoke, and before Wu Yao'an could answer, he asked directly: "Why haven't we been to Durle's house since we came to Jingzhou?" β
It stands to reason that if you want to catch someone, you might find out where they are more quickly.
Wu Yaoan, who was still pondering, turned his head and looked up at Wei Chi slightly, "Aren't you only responsible for my safety?" Why did you ask about this case? β
"It's me who has overpassed." Wei Chi saluted and fell silent again. Drag the carriage to the next person to visit.
"Nothing. I have already sent Dawu and them to this Dule family, but they have not found anything, there is no sign of life for a long time, and even the surrounding neighbors do not know the names of the people who live there. β
Wei Chi didn't say anything about it, stretched out his hand to help Wu Yao'an into the carriage, and then took out the map he had sorted out last night.
"There are no more missing persons here that we need to visit, so shall we go south or east?"
"Not at all." Wu Yaoan pulled the horse rope, turned his head and looked at Wei Chi who was about to get into the carriage with a smile, "Don't ask, I didn't ask anything after running early in the morning, and went back to the mansion directly." β
When he arrived at the entrance of the yamen, Wu Yaoan turned around twice, and stretched out his hand to Wei Chi with some embarrassment, "The fish talisman and the like are all given to them, I can't get in, what about your fish talisman?" Or is it some other cable or something? β
Wei Chi frowned and took a look at his fish talisman in the palm of his hand, at this time, it doesn't seem like it's good to go out in the name of the Guogong Mansion, right? Wei Chi was a little embarrassed, she didn't want the Guogong Mansion to get involved.
"Eh, how did I forget this?"
After looking around, Wu Yaoan walked to the drum at the door alone, picked up the mallet and knocked it on, and muttered again and again while tapping his mouth: "Vigorously, Da Wu." If you don't come out again, this month's monthly service will be gone. β
