God Catch starts with adding points

The artisans work on weekdays, obviously they don't go through the main entrance, they go through the side entrance.

Lu Bai inquired a few times in a row, only to find out that those craftsmen entered and exited through Dongyang Gate when they were building Qingxin Hall, and were interrogated by the guards of Dongyang Gate every day.

Lu Bai then went to Dongyangmen again.

Dongyangmen is a bustling public gate, and the daily purchases in the palace are all out of Dongyangmen. When Lu Bai arrived, he saw a few servants driving a few ox carts, pulling a cart of seasonal vegetables into the palace gate.

Although these palace people faced the servants, craftsmen and servants all day long, they still had good eyesight. When they saw Lu Bai coming over, they hurriedly greeted him and saluted. After learning about Lu Bai's intentions, they invited their leader come out.

This boss is short and fat, with a face as big as a disk. Judging from his appearance, he must often eat fish and meat, because the oil on his face makes Lu Bai feel that it can be soaked out after a little roasting.

"Little... Lord Hou, what do you want to investigate?" the boss asked respectfully.

Now who doesn't know Lu Bai's name?

The most popular rumor in Beijing in recent days is Lu Bai, and he is no longer called an executioner, but a little fairy.

Dare to beg for wine from the gods in the sky, isn't it just a little god?

There are many people who are called gods in this world, such as the owner of Qiushan Villa, the old fairy who walked through the heaven with a wooden sword in Jianzhai, and the old pen fairy who moved Xizhou horizontally and vertically in the inkstone washing pool.

But these are people who are half buried in the ground and half stepped into the Ascension Gate. They are not born at all, and it is naturally difficult for the world to see them.

Lu Bai is not the case, this is the little fairy living among them.

"Young Master?" Lu Bai thought the name was pretty good, and it sounded young.

Lu Bai asked him, "About half a year ago, those craftsmen who built the Qingxin Palace entered and exited the palace through this palace gate?"

The leader nodded hurriedly, "Yes, all craftsmen working in the palace enter and exit through Dongyang Gate."

"Okay, then let me ask you—" Lu Bai looked around and saw that the guards were extremely strict, "Those craftsmen once brought in three children, do you know?"

"Three children?" The leader was taken aback.

Lu Bai asked him to think about it, "If you can't remember, let the guards help you think about it. This is very important."

"No need." The boss said hurriedly.

He remembers it all.

"Those craftsmen brought three children in, but they were all half-grown children, about eleven or twelve years old." The leader looked at Lu Bai cautiously, "I wonder if Master Hou is asking these children?"

"Eleven or twelve?" Lu Bai rubbed his chin and pondered.

There is no compulsory education in this day and age, and one has to be a father at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and although one is not ready to talk about marriage at the age of eleven or twelve, it is also the age to say whether one is old or young.

The rattle in his hand should not belong to this eleven or twelve-year-old kid, right?

Lu Bai was a little disappointed, but he still asked him to talk about it.

"Because some craftsmen escaped, the prisoner temporarily recruited some craftsmen near the capital, and because of the tight schedule, these craftsmen brought these three children in one day, saying that although these children are young, they can already do Some work like carrying soil and rocks." The leader saw that the children were all from poor backgrounds, with thick shoulders and dark skin, maybe they were suitable for work.

"Especially that idiot, who looks cute and cute, but has a brute force." The leader is still amazed when he thinks about it now.

"Oh, fool?"

Lu Bai was keenly aware of the doubts.

Seeing that Lu Bai was interested, the leader nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, his father brought him here, and he wanted to do some work to earn a living."

Lu Bai was puzzled, "The general supervisor allows them to lead people like this?"

The leader smiled wryly, "At that time, the supervisor was forced by the deadline, and wished for more manpower, so naturally he didn't care about it."

Lu Bai nodded, and asked the key question, "Which of these children is holding a rattle?"

"That idiot!" the leader said without thinking.

The idiot's father told the guards that the idiot in his family couldn't do without the rattle wherever he went.

"The guards saw that the rattle had peeled off its skin, and the drum surface was a little torn, and the sound was hoarse, which was nothing strange, so they let that fool take it in." The leader saw Lu Bai's serious face when he said this, Quickly asked: "Master Hou, is there something wrong with this rattle?"

Lu Bai waved his hands, "No."

He asked the leader, "Did the three children leave the palace later?"

"Out!" The leader laughed, "Master Hou, it is a serious crime to keep someone in the palace, we dare not be careless and negligent."

Lu Bai frowned.

The female ghost made it clear the night before that the three children never came out after being sent to the entrance of the cave, but the leader said that the three children came out, so one of them must be lying.

"You saw them come out with your own eyes?" Lu Bai examined the leader.

The leader was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, and after a while he said cautiously: "It's different when you go out and when you go in. When you go in, you have to check strictly, but you don't need it when you go out. You just need to count the number of people. That day..."

The leader couldn't make up his mind, so he called a few guards over, muttered for a while, and said, "Master Hou, although we didn't identify them, we did see three children go out that day."

The guard next to him nodded, "Yes, yes, because there are three children among those craftsmen who are quite eye-catching. I clearly remember that they are among those craftsmen."

He still remembered those craftsmen patting the backs of the three children, stroking their heads, saying that the three children were still too young to do much work, they were dragging their progress, and they would not be allowed to come tomorrow.

"The next day, those three children really didn't come." The leader said, so what they remembered, they must have gone out that day, and there was no possibility of forgetting.

Lu Bai smiled, "The rattle, have you seen that child take it out?"

Several guards were stunned together.

A guard murmured, "Okay, I don't seem to have seen it."

Lu Bai probably understood now.

In all likelihood, the guards read it correctly. There were indeed three children who followed the craftsman out of the Gongmen, but it was not the three children, which is open to question.

The artisans sent children for the eunuchs, and there were not many little eunuchs in the harem who looked like three children. It was too easy to find a few foolish little eunuchs.

After the three little eunuchs leave the palace, they can return to their original appearance and enter the palace swaggeringly, so that no one will notice.

Lu Bai felt that if he wanted to investigate the case clearly, he had to go to the supervisor and question the craftsmen at that time.

He bid farewell to the leader and entered the prison.

The supervisor who was going to be the supervisor was there, and when he saw Lu Bai, he hurried over to salute. After Lu Bai asked the craftsman clearly, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to fetch the booklet, and at the same time he couldn't help smiling and said to Lu Bai: "Those craftsmen are called here temporarily. Yes, but they are all familiar."

These artisans are affiliated with craftsmen.

On weekdays, if the palace is building yards and repairing houses, and when craftsmen cannot be recruited temporarily, they will invite craftsmen from these craftsmen to do the work.Some were conscripted to work in the capital, but many of them would stay in the capital's craftsmen to work after serving. Therefore, in the construction of the Qingxin Hall, these are veterans.

"The construction of the Qingxin Palace was not accomplished overnight. These craftsmen have always been in it, but because many craftsmen escaped during that time, many craftsmen were recruited from the craftsmen in the capital." The supervisor who will be the supervisor said, I took the roster from my subordinates and turned to those pages.

He turned sideways and pointed out the names on it to Lu Bai one by one.

These craftsmen have names, surnames, places of origin and addresses.

"Okay, the higher-ups remember it quite clearly." Lu Bai praised.

The supervisor who will be the supervisor smiled obsequiously, "These are recorded in every yamen in Beijing. If these craftsmen want to work in Beijing, they have to be registered in order to work."

If not, if a bean curd project is built and people escape, then the sufferer will have no place to reason.

Lu Bai nodded and asked the supervisor to write a copy for him, "I have a case to question these people."

The supervisor followed closely, "What, what case?"

Lu Bai glanced at him, "I'm investigating the case, so I have to tell you?"

The supervisor turned pale, and hurriedly confessed.

Lu Bai patted him on the shoulder, telling him not to inquire about some things, "You can live longer this way. By the way, when those craftsmen built the Qingxin Hall half a year ago, I heard that three children went there?"

The supervisor froze.

Lu Bai snatched the roster from him, "Why, it's not registered in the roster?"

The supervisor hurriedly said: "Yes, yes."

He stretched out his hand, wanting to take the roster, "I'll point it to Master Hou."

After Lu Bai gave him the roster, the superintendent flipped through the roster with trembling hands, and in an instant, his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Have you found it yet?" Lu Bai was a little impatient.

"Look, I found it, right here—" the supervisor pointed to Lu Bai.

Lu Bai looked at the names above, Hu Wanwan, Mo Liu, Pang San, these names sound strange, but in fact they are not unusual at all. Most of these poor people who are illiterate are named after a few lines.

Lu Bai asked the supervisor to write down the names and addresses of the three people.

"Yes."

The superintendent wiped the sweat from his brow and asked his hands to transcribe.

Lu Bai walked to the window and looked outside, the general prison is a Qingshui yamen, although it is inside the palace gate, it is not in the harem, but it is close to the harem, so it is inevitable to get some breath.

He turned around and said to the superintendent, "The case I'm investigating is secret, what I'm here to investigate, don't tell others, otherwise I'll take you for questioning."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely not say anything." The supervisor nodded hastily.

Only then did Lu Bai take the list copied by his subordinates, and led the sword slave out of the general prison and away from the palace.

After Lu Bai left, the general prisoner looked quietly with his probe. Seeing that his figure had completely disappeared from sight, he hesitated for a while, finally gritted his teeth, and ran out of the general prisoner towards the small palace gate of the harem.

Chapter 423 Little God

Lu Bai went out of the palace gate, and happened to see King Luo entering the palace gate with the Patriarch of the Shi family.

When King Luo saw him, he hurried over to salute, and said, "Master Lu."

As for the Patriarch of the Shi family, when he looked at Lu Bai, he had not only fear but also deep hatred, mixed with some pride that we will wait to see later.

Thinking of joining Jianzhai successfully, he felt more confident.

It's just that when he thought about the strength Lu Bai showed the night before, he didn't dare to show his complacency too clearly.After all, even Jianzhai dare not provoke Lu Bai now.

Therefore, when Lu Bai looked over, he hurriedly looked away.

Lu Bai withdrew his gaze and exchanged greetings with King Luo, and King Luo bid farewell to Lu Bai, and then led the head of the Shi family into the palace with a smile.

It can be seen that although there is still a smile on his face, King Luo's attitude is a little distant, which is normal. Since the night when the queen riding a crane appeared above the palace, the news that the queen is pregnant cannot be concealed .

The queen is from the Gu family, and almost everyone knows which one the Gu family will choose between the nephew and the son of the maid of the Gu family. If the Gu family chooses the fetus in the queen's womb, naturally Lu Bai will also choose that fetus.

Protecting the queen's life and indirectly saving the fetus in the womb was Lu Bai's handwriting, and it was also Lu Bai's answer.

Luo Wang also regrets that the queen is protected by Lu Bai.

If not, if he doesn't need to take action, then it is most unlikely that Lu Bai's family dominates Jianzhai Kang Wang's side, there will be a way to make the queen's fetus die.

After watching King Luo leave, Lu Bai went to the three addresses recorded in the booklet without stopping.

The first thing he went to was Hu Wanwan's house.

According to the supervisor who will be in charge of the prison, the fool with the rattle is Hu Wanwan's son.

They live in the southern suburbs of the city.

Although the southern suburbs are in the outskirts, they are still on the outskirts of the capital city. It is still a bustling town, and there are endless shouts from outsiders. The bustle is no less lively than that in the city. On the contrary, there are more fireworks.

Butchering pigs, slaughtering sheep, selling dog meat, selling pancakes, steamed buns, and sweet water, and many ordinary family foods, made Lu Bai, who grew up in the deer park, feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Hu Wanwan's home is in Luoguxiang.

This alley is named after a shop that makes gongs and drums. This shop is very famous for making gongs and drums. It is a century-old shop.

Lu Bai inquired about Hu Wanwan's home at Luogu's shop.

"Hu Wanwan should go out to work, his mother-in-law is at home." The boy at the Luogu shop was very enthusiastic, and he didn't forget to say something more after pointing it out to Lu Bai.

Lu Bai nodded, thanked the boy and asked casually, "How is their stupid son?"

The boy was startled, "Silly son?"

"Yes, just his silly son who likes to play with rattles." Lu Bai reminded the servant again.

The boy scratched his head, "There are no stupid sons in his family."

Lu Bai was startled, suddenly felt something was wrong.

Just as he was about to ask, the shopkeeper of the gong and drum shop called the boy to go in, obviously afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, the boy nodded and bowed to Lu Bai, an obvious nobleman, and was about to go in, but Lu Bai stopped him.

He said to the shopkeeper in the store: "I want three drums. You can pick three good ones for me."

When the shopkeeper heard that Lu Bai asked for something, he smiled happily and stopped urging the servant.
