The sun pierced the night, drove away the black clouds, and the sky revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Xiong Wei didn't sleep well all night, and as soon as it was dawn, he got up and stretched. The door of the inn had not yet opened, and the shopkeeper leaned his head on the table and was still sleeping.

Xiong Wei quietly walked out and opened the door of the inn.

"Xiaguan see Lord Xiong. Xiong Wei opened the door just now, only to see that the prefect had brought a group of people, and he didn't know when he was already waiting at the door of the inn.

Xiong Wei was sleepy-eyed, he didn't sleep well all night, and his brain was confused. The prefect's voice woke him up.

His first reaction was to ask curiously, "Why are you all here, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Lord Xiong, you got up so early, you are really a role model for us. The adults came from Beijing from afar, and the lower officials failed to meet them from afar, which was really a dereliction of duty. In order to remedy the situation, Xiaguan prepared a first-class guest room in the best drunken immortal residence in Yangzhou City, and prepared a table of Yangzhou special wine and food for Lord Xiong to catch the wind and wash the dust, please Lord Xiong must appreciate his face. ”

Xiong Wei squinted his eyes, waited for them, glanced at them, and naturally supported his right hand with his left hand and his chin with his right hand, thinking to himself: they are obviously bribery. No matter what it is, come high and high, come low and low, how to deal with it!

"Titica!" Xiong Wei cleared his throat, looked at them and said, "Then you go first, and I'll be there in a moment." ”

When the prefect saw Xiong Wei say this, he knew that Xiong Wei was hesitating, so he hurriedly helped Xiong Wei make the decision and said, "Lord Xiong, I will wait here." Otherwise, when you first arrived in Yangzhou, you are not familiar with the place, how can you go the wrong way?"

Xiong Wei was stunned for a moment after listening to the prefect's words, and wondered in his heart: Which trick is this playing?

"Let's go first, how big can Yangzhou City be? Besides, didn't you just say that it was the best restaurant in Yangzhou City, and its name was Drunken Immortal Residence? How could you not find such a big place?"

The prefect said tactfully: "Lord Xiong, we are still waiting here." ”

Xiong Wei looked at the posture, if he didn't go, they wouldn't go. As soon as my mind turned, an excuse came out again: "Even if it's eating, I can't start eating so early in the morning!"

When the prefect heard this, his eyes wandered, and he gently slapped his mouth and said, "It's that the lower official is not thoughtful." Xiaguan has arranged the best song and dance in Yangzhou City, and Lord Xiong can go and enjoy the scenery in Yangzhou City first. After observing the people's customs and feelings, we will go to dinner again. ”

"Poof!" Xiong Wei looked at the prefect like that, and he really thought it was funny. However, he said that he couldn't just go with the prefect.

Xiong Wei's eyes shrugged, and he didn't say anything, he knew that it was useless to say it, so it was better not to say it. He hurriedly closed the door of the inn. He quietly squinted through the crack in the door again, looking out. The prefect still led a group of people to guard the door.

He shrugged his shoulders, he didn't do anything to make them wait at the door, and he didn't dare to let them wait. Let's go up and ask Master first.

"Whoosh!" he ran upstairs and pushed open the door of Xiaoyaozi, "Master, it's not good!"

Although Xiaoyaozi heard some movement downstairs, for him, the killer killed his side, and the sword stabbed his neck, and it was not too late to react.

When Xiong Wei pushed open the door and called Master, Xiaoyaozi was still sleeping on the bed. His eyes opened, he turned around and sat up slowly, and asked very calmly, "What's the noise? What's wrong?"

"The prefect, with a group of officials, greeted me at the door of the inn. Said let me enjoy the singing and dancing of Yangzhou City, and then go to the best restaurant in Yangzhou City to eat. Xiong Qi said quickly in one breath.

"Huh?" Xiaoyaozi also wondered when he heard this. I couldn't help but say, "How did it come so fast?"

He took a deep breath, "Go get the witch!"

Xiong Wei didn't say a word, and ran to Xia Yun's room again. He was just about to knock on Xia Yun's door, but Xia Yun opened the door. As soon as he wanted to speak, Xia Yun interrupted him and said, "I already know what's going on." ”

"Ah!" Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun's cold and calm expression, "How do you know?"

Xia Yun pushed Xiong Wei away and said expressionlessly, "When they called to see Lord Xiong outside, I was awakened by their shouts. By the way, I opened the window and took a look. ”

Xia Yun came to Xiaoyaozi's room and saluted Xiaoyaozi.

She saw Xiong Wei again and asked very calmly, "What are you going to do about this?"

The corners of Xiong Wei's mouth slanted slightly, and he said, "We were indeed too reckless yesterday, but since they are here, we will plan and see what they want?"

"Then I'll go down and see, what do they want?" Xia Yun thought the same thing in her heart.

"But did you notice? You killed the man in black yesterday, and they found us in such a short time. This force ......"

Xiaoyaozi paused again, sighed and continued: "It can't be ignored! Since ancient times, even if it is a Qincha investigation, even if there is Shang Fang's sword in hand, it is mainly a secret visit, and if there is real evidence, then take action." Now, we have nothing and have fallen into their control, and things will be even more difficult in the future?"

After all, Xiaoyaozi has a lot of experience, and at a glance, he knows what the Yangzhou prefect wants to do?

"It doesn't matter if you go to eat this meal, I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will design something to seize and frame you, and this matter will be self-defeating. ”

"Ginger is still old and spicy. Master doesn't say, I didn't even think of this layer. Xiong Wei shook his head, now he was afraid that he would have to recalculate all this.

"Master, see if you can do this. Our soldiers are divided into two ways, me and Yun'er, anyway, we have been exposed, then let's expose it, we are in Ming. You took Ying'er, Miss Yu, and didn't show up, you are investigating in the dark, in secret, and you should cooperate with each other inside and outside. ”

Xia Yun raised her head and looked around, and said, "I'm afraid this place won't be able to stay either." And I feel that if they can find out where we live, they can find out that we are five people. ”

"You're reminding me of that. Since we came from other places and our accents were different, they would find out where we were if they wanted to check for sure. Otherwise, they wouldn't have found us so quickly. ”

"By now, the store knows that there are five of us. I'm afraid the prefect also knows that we are five people. I have already sent someone to keep an eye on it, and it is not easy for them to go out, Master. ”

"It's not that hard. We can also say that we don't know Master and they don't know each other, but we just met on the road. It's just how we're going to get in touch and exchange information with each other in the future. ”

"I have a way!" At this time, Shui Hibiscus pushed the door and came in, "I will take you to a place where it is absolutely safe." ”

"Where is it?" Xiong Wei and Xia Yun asked at the same time.

Shui Furong smiled and said the doctrine in her heart.

After Shui Furong finished speaking, Xiaoyaozi laughed and said, "Miss Yu's doctrine is really good, there are many people coming and going there." Widows and witches can be mixed in casually in disguise, and they are not noticeable. What's more, we get to see all kinds of people. ”

"Master, if you say that, I'll arrange it. Shui Hibiscus was very confident, "I came just now, I took a look, there are all officers and soldiers outside, and no one is allowed to enter, and it is estimated that I will not be able to leave until Xiong Wei goes out." Anyway, Ying'er is sleeping now. ”

"Then do it. Still, I think there's one more thing I want you to do for me. Yesterday, it was too hasty, and nothing was found. ”

"You mean about the sale of illicit salt?" Shui Hibiscus slanted her eyes at Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei nodded.

"Don't worry. When we get to that place, I'll have someone ask for help. Shui Hibiscus said, instantly revealing that unique temperament, a little arrogant.

"Okay! Then let's do it first, Yun'er and I, go and lure them away first. In the evening, we will find a way to get out and then go back to you. ”

With that, Xiong Wei and Xia Yun hurriedly went downstairs. Xia Yun and Xiong Wei discussed how to deal with the prefect while walking.

"We'd better mingle with them first, and then, let them let their guard down. Xia Yun told Xiong Wei, "You'd better put away your chivalrous spirit." Anyway, don't say what you can, you can say whatever they say. In this way, we can get out of the evening. ”

"Okay, I got it. We make eye contact and look at the form before making a decision. Xiong replied very dryly.

Xiong Wei followed the prefect out of the inn, and the prefect took Xiong Wei around the outskirts of Yangzhou City. As he walked, Xiong Wei was attracted by a bridge, and his curiosity was aroused again.

This bridge is a single-hole arch bridge, white marble railing, such as jade belt elegant, like neon lying waves.

"What kind of bridge is this?" said Xiong Wei as he stared at the bridge for a long time.

The prefect immediately nodded and said, "This is called Twenty-Four Bridges." The bridge is 24 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, with 24 columns and 24 platforms, all corresponding to 24. The Tang Dynasty poem Du Mu Youyun: 'On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where can the jade teach?' is talking about this bridge. ”

Xiong Wei was a more serious person, and as soon as he heard that there were twenty-four on this bridge, he immediately came up and said, "Wait, I'll count if it's really twenty-four for everything." ”

"Hmm!" Xia Yun cleared her throat and coughed.

Xiong Wei looked back and knew what Xia Yun meant.

When the prefect heard this, Xia Yun cleared her throat, thinking that Xia Yun was tired, and hurriedly said, "It's not too early now, so the adults will go to the Drunken Immortal Residence to rest and rest first?"

"Okay! I'm hungry too. If you don't say it, I don't think it, as soon as you say it, my mouth is really greedy. Xiong Wei said, putting a hand on the prefect's neck, "Let's go, let's go to dinner." ”

The prefect felt a little flattered, and more inexplicable.

As soon as Xiong Wei arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence, his ass was not yet hot.

The prefect clapped his palms, and a group of people came in through the side door, each with a plate in his hand. The prefect clapped his palms again and said, "Serve!"

The group of people put the dishes on the table in an orderly manner, and the prefect watched from the side, introducing allusions to the dishes on the table as they watched.

The first thing to come is: dismantling the braised silver carp head, stewing the lion's head, and grilling the whole pig's head. The lion's head is fat and not greasy, the silver carp head is mellow, and the whole pig's head is fragrant.

Then: sweet and sour lotus root, eight treasure gourd, grilled pig's head, colorful butterfly flying, Yangzhou Wuting Bridge, pipa prawn, chrysanthemum conch......

"Lord Xiong has come all the way from Beijing, so it is better to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days. Taste the flavor of our Yangzhou. Emperor Taizu also had a soft spot for Huaiyang cuisine back then!" the prefect said cautiously tentatively.

In those days, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, also started in Yangzhou, seized power and ascended the throne, and then moved to Beijing, and there were many Yang chefs who went north with the palace; Emperor Zhengde toured Yangzhou in the south, swimming in the dragon and playing with the phoenix, and of course he did not forget the Huaiyang delicacies, and the Yanfu and the mouth were blessed, and no one should be missing. Their favorite food is the special anchovy, saury and catfish in the Yangzhou area, which is called the three fresh foods of the Yangtze River. Xia Yun then talked about these palace secret histories.

The prefect was very proud to hear Xia Yun cooperate with him like this. "Not bad! Yes, Yun Gongzi knows it clearly, and he really deserves to be the person next to the emperor. ”

Looking at the dishes on this table, Xiong Wei felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say: "You say, if we eat less of this meal, how many more layers of salt tax can you pay?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone entered an embarrassing scene, and the enthusiasm on the prefect's face quickly decreased, not knowing what Xiong Wei and Xia Yun were going to do, one red face and one white face, and they didn't know what to say for a while. In the end, Xia Yun made a round and said, "I'm tired all day, I'm hungry, let's eat first." ”
