Chapter Thirty-Eight: Changming Tavern
When he landed, Jing Yuan's face turned purple, and he could be described as angry.
Then he looked at Liu Xu's back and shouted coldly: "Mei Qinghan, it's easy to break if it's too rigid! You will regret it for a day." ”
"Send off!" said Liu Xu, who had already walked a long way.
"Lord Situ, please!" The soldiers of the two provinces came over and made a gesture of invitation, without any condescension.
Jing Yuan snorted angrily, didn't say a word, and turned away.
Liu Xu stepped into the inner hall in two steps, placed Mo Feng, and continued to sort out the file without distraction.
Half an hour later, the information of the six flower thieves was well memorized, and Qiu Feng came in.
"Boss, the Jade Mansion Supervisor, I have sent Zhanfeng to check the accounts. Eight Assassins have been reported to the case, and this is the case. Qiu Feng reported the matter.
Liu Xu got up, took the case file, casually glanced at the last paper, and saw the words suicide in fear of crime.
Then he said: "Let people hand it over to Moyu, and put the envelope into the warehouse." ”
Qiu Feng nodded.
Liu Xu immediately came to the sword rack, held Mo Feng, and said, "Take two catchers and go out with me." ”
"Okay, boss, what are we going to do?, are two catches fast enough?" Qiu Feng asked.
"You'll know when you get there. Liu Xu smiled.
Qiu Feng scratched his head, and even more smiled.
For so long since he joined the Criminal Department, it was the first time that he went out alone with Liu Xu to handle the case.
How can you not like it at this moment?
A moment later, Liu Xu, Qiu Feng, and the two arresters, the four of them stepped out of the criminal mansion.
The Criminal Department was located at the end of Yuqing Street, and after a short walk, it merged into the crowd.
Yuqing Street is quite wide, with a complete set of shops and vendors, and the sound of sales is endless.
Today is the end of spring, the weather is getting hotter, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits have just entered the WTO, and they can be sold at a good price.
So there is an endless stream of people coming and going.
Liu Xu walked by, and saw that there was noise and even abuse from time to time, obviously bargaining and calculating.
Looking at the people living in peace, Liu Xu had a smile on his face.
He is the envoy, the greatest reliance of the people of Dongcheng.
He doesn't often walk on other streets, and he doesn't know them well, but he walks on Yuqing Street three or five times a day.
Although there are contradictions from time to time, and even evil fights, the accidents are indeed gradually few.
This is the result of his half-month work as an envoy.
Liu Xu once devoted himself to Moyu, consuming a lot of mental energy, and focusing on the people's detailed cases.
The big cases in the imperial city, such as flower thieves, Wang Yang bandits, the murder of the Lin Mansion, official corruption... It is affected by the official environment, and if you want to change, it will not happen overnight.
However, the common people have different small cases, and if they make a little effort, they can reap a mouthful of praise and achieve a result.
For example, nowadays, Yuqing Street lives peacefully.
After crossing Yuqing Street, going all the way north, three times, a group of four people came to the end of Qiao'an Street.
Joan Street is small and dilapidated, the houses are rotten, and the people are rare.
"Boss, we've all walked four streets, where are we going?" Qiu Feng asked uncertainly.
Because Liu Xu is very funny, when he goes to a place, he first looks up and looks east.
As if there was none, he turned around and entered the next street.
"It's here!" the next moment, Liu Xu suddenly smiled.
Qiu Feng followed Liu Xu's gaze and saw a wine shop.
Playing a small banner high is a Changming tavern.
The flags were dilapidated, the doors were half-open, but they were clearly visible, and the inside was deserted, with only one or two people.
Qiu Feng didn't quite understand.
"You two stay here. Liu Xu commanded and took Qiu Feng to continue walking.
The two catches quickly clasped their fists behind and saluted.
Rising up, Liu Xu was dashing, and entered the wine shop along the depressed laneway.
"Xiao Er, come to a pot of turbid wine!" After entering, Liu Xu said.
"Wait a minute, officer. "The shopkeeper is an old man, quite short, and a little ungentle.
Liu Xu stopped talking, and walked straight to the northernmost window and sat down.
The hall was deserted, and the wine table was empty, Qiu Feng just followed, not paying attention to the reason for sitting in this corner.
The next moment, Xiao Er opened the curtain, brought a pot of wine, and passed it to the shopkeeper.
The old man took the tray and walked up, and when he approached, he smiled and said, "Guest officer, I'm really sorry! Can you change the table, this position is from a son surnamed Ming." ”
"Oh, that's fine! I'm also surnamed Ming, and he introduced me. Liu Xu smiled.
The old man put down the wine and turned away.
Liu Xu took the sand bowl and poured two bowls.
The wine was cloudy, dark yellow, like water that had just been drawn from a river of earth.
Liu Xu raised the bowl, the two touched each other, and drank it all in one gulp.
It can be said that there is no fragrance, but bitterness.
Qiu Feng drank it, almost didn't spit it out, and immediately scolded softly: "This damn thing, it's a little hard to drink." ”
Liu Xu drank it, still unsatisfied, and said: "The wine of fifty wen has the taste of rivers and lakes." ”
In a moment, two more bowls were poured, and with a light touch, they were drunk together.
"How do you feel?" asked Liu Xu.
"Hey, boss, when you say that, you say that. ”
"If you are used to drinking it, you will not change it for the elixir and jade dew of your Qiu Mansion. Liu Xu smiled.
At the same time, they poured a bowl and said, "The last bowl." ”
Qiu Feng laughed again, and instantly raised the bowl to drink.
With three bowls in his stomach, Liu Xu looked around, and saw that the last two drinkers had already left.
Then he raised his head and shouted softly: "Shopkeeper, settle the bill!"
Xiao Er came over, holding a tray in his hand, and there was a blank piece of paper in the tray.
In a moment, the tray was placed in front of Liu Xu.
Qiu Feng was a little confused, and finally felt strange, but he didn't speak.
At this time, Liu Xu Shiran took out a unicorn fat jade from his arms, which was amber.
The next moment, without hesitation, he lightly pressed on the white paper.
Seeing Liu Xu's movements, the shopkeeper on the counter got up and closed half of the door.
Since then, the liquor store has been closed today.
The fat jade is a yang seal, and when Liu Xu raised his hand, a swastika appeared on the huge white paper.
The small two ends the tray and enters the inside of the curtain.
After a while, he came out again and presented the white paper in front of the two of them.
Liu Xu saw that there was another word on the white paper, which was a swastika.
The two characters are the same size and stand side by side, one is the yang seal and the other is the yin seal.
At this time, the shopkeeper came over, saluted respectfully, and said, "I don't know what to order?"
"Want to know where these six people are now?" Liu Xu said.
At the same time, he handed over a note, which was the names of the six flower thieves.
The old man's face was cold, he didn't dare to delay, and said, "Son, wait a minute!"
Then he turned around and entered the inner curtain, which was obviously a secret room.
Liu Xu was not in a hurry, and sat peacefully, but Qiu Feng's eyes were stunned.
So he asked softly, "Boss, what is this place?"
"Prison Heaven Division!" Liu Xu was straightforward and did not hide it.
Qiu Feng suddenly realized.
About half an hour passed, and the old man appeared, holding three pieces of secret paper in his hand.
"This is the location of Yue Jun, Xu Qing, and Zhu Huifei's recent activities. Shan Yun and Shao Han also have information, but it will take two days for the information to be transferred, and it will be delivered the day after tomorrow at the latest. As for the flawless legs of the breeze, the last news was a month ago. Recently, I really can't inquire about it!" said the old man.
Liu Xu took the secret paper and looked at it, handed it to Qiu Feng casually, and said: "After the information from Shan Yun and Shao Han arrives, the trouble will be sent directly to the Subordinate Order Department of the Criminal Department. As for Ye Wufang, please inquire about it. ”
"That's it, childe, but don't worry. The old man bowed.
Liu Xu nodded, and said, "There is another matter, I want to inquire about the criminal case." I wonder who killed him?"
The old man's eyes were suddenly stunned, and he was a little embarrassed: "This is not difficult! But in the case of criminal Zhen, the treasury was sealed by the envoy of the criminal department, and so far there is no talk from all walks of life." Therefore, it is a bit difficult to rely only on outside guesses. ”
Liu Xu nodded and said without concealment: "According to the analysis of clues, the murderer is a person from the rivers and lakes, and it seems that he is from Flowing Fire City. ”
Hearing this, the old man was shocked again, and looked at Liu Xu at this time, his eyes were different.
and faintly had some guesses about Liu Xu.
At this time, Liu Xu clenched his fists, saluted, and said, "Farewell!"
The old man also clasped his fists and saluted together.
In a moment, Liu Xu and the others went all the way out of the wine shop.
Qiu Feng's face was very happy, and he said with a smile: "Boss, I knew that you had such a means, why should I go to Liyuan to buy information! I have been guarding Beicheng for four days in vain. ”
Liu Xu smiled silently and did not respond.
Then the two arrests came over, and the four of them came together, Qiu Feng said again: "It's okay now, the information is in hand, I'll go to the army to set up the army." His grandmother's, Zhun Bao won't be able to run away this time!"
But Liu Xu shook his head, stepped west, and said, "This is not in a hurry, you still have something to do." ”
Qiu Feng was straight, followed in two steps, and asked directly, "Boss, what's the matter?"
"Let's go to the pear orchard first! I'm curious what kind of person made you spend two hundred taels of silver and buy false information. Liu Xu smiled.
"Boss, why do you mention this? Besides, the information is true, didn't I catch Yao Chun after all?" Qiu Feng blushed.
"Two hundred taels of silver, it took four days to close the net, can it be true?" asked Liu Xu with a smile.
At this question, Qiu Feng stopped talking.
At this time, Liu Xu turned his head, "The two of you go back to the Criminal Department, bring a team of government soldiers over, and guard outside the pear orchard." ”
"Boss, do you really want to move the pear orchard?" Qiu Feng suddenly asked.
"What do you say, if I don't get you back, they really think that the money in our penal house is easy to earn. I was busy a few days ago, and today I just used it to explore the depth of the water in the east city of the imperial court. Liu Xu's face was slightly cold.
Qiu Feng didn't speak anymore, and followed the steps.
Not long after, the two came to Bailong Street, the most prosperous street in the eastern city.
Why is it prosperous?
The long building is high, the roadway is seven feet, the bluestone paving, and the beams are the same.
The crowd is surging, and the walkers are rich in brocade robes.
Liu Xu walked out of the crowd, all the way to the west, and came head-on to a huge archway.
It is to engrave the word pear orchard.
The pear orchard in the imperial city of Anyang is the most majestic.
Looking up, the green jade was cast, no less than twenty zhang.
Behind the torii is a building.
The building is huge, covering an area of many acres, all glazed tiles, all blue gray bricks, is it shocking?
Liu Xu looked over and saw that the pedestrians were in a hurry, coming and going.
The people of the Imperial City are rich and have the most hedonistic skills.
The next moment, Liu Xu stepped forward, and the two entered the archway together.
There are a lot of archways, no less than dozens, one by one mixed together, forming a pear orchard.
Therefore, the pear orchard in the world is the most mixed, with dragons and snakes, official and thief friends, and all kinds of things.
But this is the only place where the information is the most well-informed.
Therefore, in every pear orchard, there must be an intelligence selling teahouse.
And this one in Dongcheng District is called Baijin Tower.
It is rumored that it was opened by a young woman, and she is still a beauty.
Qiu Feng once came to test the water, two hundred taels of silver, and bought a half-truth.
Besides, people still look at the face of the deputy envoy of the Criminal Department.
Today, Liu Xu came in person.
