Chapter 22: Where is the Clue?

After thinking about it all night without success, Shen Ye took people directly to Wu Daode's Taoist temple early the next morning. But what made Shen Ye even more disappointed was that he didn't get any useful information after looking through the entire Taoist temple. found a bunch of records in the evidence vault of the Wei command post, which were also black accounts recorded by Wu Daode's own. More or less are some unclean commissions, but the names of the key clients and undertakers are not written, but they only roughly record the content and date of the commission, but they are not a big case, although they can be convicted, they are not as fatal as the kidnapping of Miss Song in Wuding.

"Shen Zongqi, the brothers have only found these, do you want to look for them again?" The Wuding Jinyi guards who followed Shen Ye had already searched the entire Taoist temple, and even brought one of Wu Daode's disciples over. But before they could find anything, they had already taken it away and put it in the yamen, and they had been busy for more than a morning and had not turned out anything.

"Don't look for it, let's rest, and then go down the mountain to find a place to eat, after eating, we will go home, the way back and forth is far away, we have to hurry back early, I have worked hard today, brothers!" Shen Ye threw away the messy speculation and ideas, knowing that the location of this Taoist temple was remote, they came from Wuding City early in the morning, but it took more than two hours to ride a horse, and now it was noon, since they couldn't find any valuable clues, there was no need to stop more.

Shen Zongqi's words were too polite, and the brothers couldn't help when they came. But I still have to thank Shen Zongqi today! Our Wuding City is very peaceful in ordinary days, and it is only recently that two major cases have been born. On weekdays, the brothers are idle and almost crazy, but today we are also thanks to the blessing of Shen Zongqi, so that we can happily ride out and slip around, otherwise this body will be rusty if it is idle for a few more days!" The brocade guard laughed and began to talk to Shen Ye.

"Hahaha, Brother Miao is polite, just call Shen Ye by his name. Shen is too, but I don't know Miao Zongqi's stomach, whether he is idle today, can he accompany Shen for a few drinks later?!" Shen Ye patted Miao Zongqi's shoulder cordially and replied with a smile.

"This, this is nature!Brother Shen, let's go down the mountain, I'm just afraid that there is no good wine in this mountain and wild place, and I will wronged Brother Shen's stomach!"

"Where is this said? Wine is wine, there is no good or bad, what matters is the people who drink together! Brothers, collect the troops, let's go down the mountain......

As soon as everyone heard this, they were happy in their hearts, and they threw away the fatigue of running around their bodies and lifted up their spirits, turned over their horses and hurried to the village below the mountain.

Wu Daode's Taoist temple was built on a remote mountain, not close to the town, and what he wanted was to hide people's eyes and ears. They went down the hill and searched around the village but could not find a shop, and finally paid a peasant family for breakfast in their yard.

Native chicken bacon, muddy wine mountain wind, although it is simple and simple, but everyone is also happy to eat, everyone at the banquet praises each other, and then chats about some strange things, bragging. Especially Shen Ye didn't have the slightest fight, he mingled with everyone, and the relationship between everyone was a little closer for a while.

"Hello brothers, come on, Yizhimei!"

"Three rivers of water!"

"Four Seasons Wealth!"

"Six Shuns!"

"Eh, Brother Miao, you lost, come on, drink!" The people in the mountain village didn't have a cup, and everyone just raised the big bowl and drank it. It's also a bit of a big bowl of wine and a big bite of meat.

"Shen Laodi's punch is good! It's Miao who lost, come, do it!" Miao Mu didn't shirk it, he drank it at one end of the big bowl.

The rest of the crowd was also laughing and playing.

The wine table culture has always been a long time, and it is even more prosperous in Dawu, where literati and writers and heroes are all like this. As a man, you can drink a lot of alcohol, but you must have it, because it is an important means for men to socialize.

After a banquet, everyone mingled, and Miao Mu also felt that Shen Ye Shen, who was rumored to be promoted to the Golden Scale Town Mansion, was not as difficult to get along with as he imagined, and his good impression of him increased a few points in his heart.

After eating a meal for more than an hour, everyone drank a few large sips of cold mountain spring water to sober up, sat in the courtyard and rested for a while with the cool mountain breeze, and then turned over and went straight to Wuding.

.....................

"Eh, Brother Shen, don't you know, our golden-scaled city wall is called a strong one. At that time, Emperor Wuzong fought for three months and didn't fight down, this last one was a nail that couldn't be pulled out, and he was angry and changed three generals in a row, and in the end, it was our old general Luo who came out and used a discord to attack it. To tell the truth, there are still some skilled craftsmen in this former Jin Dynasty, and this city wall is indeed impregnable, more than one jiazi, and it has not been repaired much, but it is still magnificent. Miao Mu rode on a horse and was at the head of the team with Shen Ye, and after two hours of driving, he had already arrived outside Wuding City, and introduced Shen Ye beside him in a half-drunk manner.

"Indeed, the walls are so tall and thick that they are even more magnificent than the Golden Scale City. The former Jin Dynasty oppressed the people and looted the people's fat and ointment, spent a lot of silver on it, and put a lot of effort into building it, but this city is located south of the Yangtze River, and it is not the iron cavalry of the Northern Desert that is used to suppress the people, resist stubbornly, and maintain the rule of the system! It is really damned! If this silver is used to buy a few more pairs of armor for the army and buy more good horses, how can it be bullied by the Northern Desert like this!" Shen Ye looked at the incomparably tall and magnificent city wall, and thought to himself that there was only the first Xiongguan in the world of Yanyun Sixteen Cities, which could be compared to it, but it was used to defend his own people, and sighed slightly.

"What Brother Shen said is ah, this Northern Desert Grassland has always been the number one enemy of my Central Plains Dynasty, for thousands of years, the dynasty has changed, but it has always been opposed to it, and the two sides have fought for more than a thousand years, winning and losing each other. However, no dynasty has ever been so humiliated as the former Jin Dynasty, and the emperor was captured by someone who occupied the imperial city in the north, not to mention that the great rivers and mountains north of the Yangtze River were also handed over........." Speaking of this, both of them shook their heads and sighed, sighing.

"Eh, but fortunately, my Emperor Wuzong is a talented man, the dragoon warriors surround Luoyang, and the human emperor wears armor as a vanguard. Behead the wolf in the army, and regain the mountains and rivers in the first battle. Directly drove this northern Tartar back to the grassland to eat sheep dung, and only then did he unify our great rivers and mountains, and this evil breath came out! Don't talk about this, Brother Shen, do you know our Wuding's three uniques!"

"Oh?! Shen Ye really hasn't heard of it!"

"Hey, hey, let's Wuding three uniques, one is one of our top ten noodles in Dawu, hot dry noodles, the second is the Wuchang fish in this river, and finally, it's our wine in Guanfeng Tower! Brother Shen, wait for our case to be closed in two days, brother, I will definitely take you to Guanfeng Tower to drink again." Miao Mu changed the topic and chatted with Shen Yekan again.

"Of course this is good, but Brother Miao shouldn't break his promise! When the time comes, don't say that your sister-in-law won't let you come out, let Shen Ye's pigeons go, hahahaha." ”

"How can this be!!Miao has always been honest!"

..................

The two entered the city in a chatter, and today they ran all the way and drank a lot of wine, and everyone was exhausted and sleepy. After returning to the guard command post and handing over the tokens, he went straight home to sleep.

Shen Ye too, went back to the room and fell asleep. It wasn't until dark that I slowly woke up, my mouth was dry, and after getting up and drinking a few cups of tea, I suddenly felt hungry in my stomach. Slowly, I went out to look for food again.

After walking out of the gate and walking through a street, Shen Ye realized that he didn't really know the way, let alone the restaurants everywhere, and finally went around and returned to the place where he ate noodles the day before yesterday.

But just as I passed, I heard a commotion coming from the side of the street.

Lao Tzu never gives money to eat in the south of the city, and eating your two buns is already lifting you, and you dare to ask me for money!" The fat on his fat body trembled, and kicked the owner of the bun shop who was chasing after him to ask for money.

"Childe, the little old man is a small business, and the family all depends on the shop for a living!" The boss sat on the ground and saw the servants behind him, but he still didn't want to give up, and prayed.

"Cut! You two, send him to me. It's really affecting the Yaxing of this son's shopping!" The fat boy showed a disgusted expression on his face, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.

Seeing him coming, Shen Ye hurriedly turned his head and sat down in the store.

Shen Ye recognized Liu Ziwen, the son of the Wuding Prefect who was kicked into the water by several of their brothers last time, and thought to himself that this person was still the same arrogant and domineering? But suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, how could he come back from the Golden Scale so quickly?

"Eh, Childe, it's you again!" the owner of the noodle restaurant said cordially when he saw Shen Ye come in.

"Does the boss recognize me?!" Shen Ye sat down at the table, also asked for a noodle, and chatted with him.

"Childe's face is not very like a person nearby, and Childe also took care of his family's store last night, I naturally know it!" The boss kept moving his hands while chatting with Shen Ye.

"Uncle has good eyesight, I am indeed not from Wuding, I am afraid of a small business, and I came to Wuding to get the goods today. But I don't know who that fat man is just now!"
