eat meat every day

The shopkeeper took a piece of silver and gave it to the boy selling newspapers. The boy opened his mouth wide in surprise, blinked his eyes, and stammered, "I...don't need so much..."

The shopkeeper glanced at him, and quickly said: "No, no, no hurry, no hurry, little brother, where did you get this newspaper? Who else have you sold it to?"

The little boy said: "I sold two copies on the road, and then I came to you. It's a newspaper from Molan Bookstore. I got up late today and went to the head of the newspaper to get the newspaper. I was so anxious. I kept crying, and saw that there was a new stack of newspapers delivered, and the head of the newspaper was very happy when he saw it, and told me to sell it quickly..."

"What's your family chief's name?"

"Surnamed Chen, chief executive of Chen Bao in Liu Lane in the south of the city."

The shopkeeper pondered for a while. He has opened the inn for many years and it is booming. He has a very wide network of contacts and knows a lot of people from different religions. The boss Chen Bao had drunk flower wine with him a few days ago. A person who is a good person will not toss some dirty tabloids to ruin his own brand.

Thinking of this, he spread a smile: "Little brother, it's not just in this basket, you also have newspapers? I bought those too, give them all to me, and give you this ingot, how about it? Amu," he turned his head He said to the clerk, "Go and invite Mr. Zhou to come and call a carriage. The sooner the better."

The guy was also clever, nodded immediately, and rushed out of the door like a gust of wind.

Zou Yi witnessed the whole process. Although the shopkeeper took the boy to a corner with a very soft voice, he still got a glimpse of it by virtue of the expressions of several people.

Yan Xuan's recruitment of prostitutes is already a major event, but the shopkeeper may not be so excited, what greater matter can overwhelm it?

Zou Yi felt that it was not a good thing.

He was about to get up to find out, Qing Yu pressed his hand on the table: "Sit down and enjoy the scenery, I'll go."

Zou Yi glanced at him, Qing Yu tilted her head and smiled at him full of evil spirits, stood up abruptly as if afraid of Zou Yi's repentance, took her own step to reach the long legs of the two of them and walked to the side of the shopkeeper .

Zou Yi looked at him for a few more times before lowering her head, and saw that there were pointed hickory nut shells in the small lantern, and the white porcelain bowl next to it had only half of the walnut flesh, and the pieces of the walnut flesh were not whole A piece of it looked like someone had run over it with a rolling pin. He looked at it and couldn't help smiling.

When Qing Yu came back, she found that the white porcelain bowl was completely empty, she stared at him resentfully and said, "I've worked so hard to peel it for so long, why did you eat it all up, and you didn't leave me a bite."

Zou Yi squinted at him with a half-smile, and said, "You only take one bite, and you said it was for me before, so what's wrong if I eat it all?"

Qing Yu choked for a moment, his original intention was to ask Zou Yi to peel the walnuts, and eat some pieces of meat by himself, he never wanted to steal the chicken without losing the rice, so he had to forcefully change the subject: "I just went to ask, the shopkeeper But he hides the newspaper tightly, and talking to me is also doing Tai Chi."

Zou Yi said: "That being said, we have no choice but to wait and see what happens."

Qing Yu smiled suddenly, and took out a newspaper from her arms, seeing that no one was paying attention to the two of them, she spread the newspaper on the table grandiosely.

Zou Yi was stunned, only to see Qing Yu smiling, he lowered his head to scan the newspaper quickly, his face froze, and when he raised his head again, there was no such carefree smile on Qing Yu's face.

Zou Yi lowered her voice and said, "I guess it's the Ministry of War's revenge. After all, they detained the Yan family's son."

Qing Yu said: "Still slandering Yan Xuan for recruiting prostitutes. I guess the Ministry of War will do something, but I never wanted to catch it so hard, I'm afraid this time the Ministry of Households will lose - but I don't want to care about these troublesome things. It’s just that it’s getting harder and harder to save Dongshan.”

If they want to save Dongshan grandiosely, they rely on public opinion. They have some limelight now, but this limelight is far from enough to change a group of stubborn people. It has to be something more vigorous.

Originally, it would be good to arrest the thief who assassinated Jian Zhan, and extinguish the flames of the masses, but one after another accident, everyone has long forgotten that poor Jian Zhan, even if the murderer can be found, everyone is just looking Just pass the eye.

Zou Yi said softly: "Can you..."

Qing Yu understood what he meant, and frowned: "They imprisoned Dong Shan in the prison for repeat offenders. The guards are extremely strict. It is probably impossible to break in."

Zou Yi stopped talking and quietly sipped tea while Qing Yu was playing with walnut meat.

Although the two were preoccupied, the world around them was not affected at all.

Mr. Zhou came in a short while. The old man had been telling stories for 40 years. He only glanced at a few words in the newspaper, then he slapped the gavel and smoothly expanded the words in the newspaper. Nor can it be more detailed than his.

Mr. Zhou talked together, and the waiter in the hall distributed newspapers together, and asked if he wanted some tea and snacks. Everyone was excited, and they were even more excited when they saw the newspaper. Besides tea and snacks, they also asked for some With few drinks and small dishes, and inviting friends and company, the not-so-small Taoshan Inn was packed to the brim.

What kind of event is this that makes people so excited?

It turned out that a pawn from the household department submitted a pleading, saying that Gu Qiuke, the left servant of the household department, withheld his salary, and the officials and officials of the household department protected each other. He felt hopeless, so he risked his life to ask the military department.

It has only been a few decades since Gucheng opened up a new world, and the laws in it are very chaotic and there are many loopholes to exploit. One of them is: Anyone who does not comply with the "Commercial Law" such as withholding subordinates' salaries, tax evasion, etc. will be investigated by the Ministry of Household Affairs. No one is allowed to intervene.But it was followed by another writing: If he does not change his repeated admonitions and even opposes household soldiers, it can be implemented by the Ministry of War.

After all, there are only 12 soldiers in the household department, and if they encounter a pirate, they are reluctant to do so. Therefore, the military department came to check the house of the left servant of the household department.

Gu Qiu, the left servant of the household department, is a man with a clean sleeve, and he is not afraid of being checked. He opened the door frankly, and poured himself a pot of tea - but the investigation turned out to be a bad thing!They did not find any evidence that he withheld the salaries of his subordinates, but they found the correspondence between him and the Minister of the Household Department, in which it was written how they enriched their own pockets and produced inferior spices, and they were responsible for the death of incense poisoning a few days ago!

This is many times more serious than an official recruiting prostitutes. Yan Xuan is just a sixth-rank manager, but Gu Qiu is a second-rank servant, plus the first-rank minister who corresponds with him, he is a high-ranking official!

Besides, everyone also knew that the city lord came from the household department. If these two people acted so recklessly, did they not have the acquiescence of the city lord?The whole Hubu is just a fat rice worm, devouring the savings of the entire Gucheng, and the so-called wise city lord is just a fig leaf to hide Hubu's ugly appearance!

This incident is more important than all the previous ones, because it has shaken the foundation of the city. By the time Mr. Zhou finished speaking, the news had already spread to every corner of Gucheng.

How many bookstores do you have, and I also have several bookstores. Before, the Ministry of Household Affairs operated the Minbao behind the scenes and copied Yan Xuan's scandal to the sky.

Zou Yi and Qing Yu got into the habit of reading newspapers, and told Xiaoer that they would send newspapers every morning and evening, and if there was any urgent printing plate, they would also send them.

It is easy to do things well if you have money, Xiaoer runs very diligently.

Day [-]: The city is in an uproar.

Day [-]: All kinds of accusations against the Ministry of Households appeared, and even some family newspapers insinuated accusations against the city lord.

Day [-]: Urban riots began.

Day [-]: More and more people participated, some meditated, some wrote blood letters, and some fought with the yamen servants.

Day [-]: Under pressure, the city lord ordered Wang Miao, Shangshu of the household department, and Gu Qiushou, the left servant of the household department, to be taken into custody.

After that, there was a stalemate in the court for several days, and the voice of the people was extremely high to behead the two people.

The term of the city director is approaching, and whether he can be re-elected in the next term obviously depends on the results of this time, but he is not satisfactory.

He avoided talking about it like this, but just cleaned up the household department without pain, wasn't he just trying to avoid the execution of his right-hand man?The city lord had no choice but to publish a letter of guilt in the valley altar, but it made people scold him even more.

Zou Yi and Qing Yu had never seen Fang Jing during this period of time, and later they thought that waiting was not an option, so they went to the Fang family's mansion and met Fang Jing.

Fang Jing is a young man, these days of staying up all night to make things difficult have added a wrinkle to the corner of his eye, it is not deep, but there is a lot of plain old-fashioned, youthful spirit is such an easy thing to kill.

When he saw the two of them, he invited them to sit down and served tea with a calm face, rubbing the space between his brows and not speaking.

Zou Yi was the first to speak: "The last time I met Mr. Fang, you said that there are traitors in the court..."

Fang Jing interrupted him in a low voice: "Yes, now it is clear that it is a nail from our household. The servants in Lord Wang and Lord Gu's house are still investigating. All the evidence of your lord's corruption and breaking the law is like a piece of window paper, only that letter——the handwriting on that letter is exactly the same as his, and it is ironclad evidence!"

Zou Yi glanced at him, and Fang Jing apologized: "I haven't had enough sleep in the past few days, I have a bad temper, and I still watch a lot. Dali Temple invited five experienced handwriting inspectors, and they all came to the same conclusion. It is Mr. Gu's." Handwritten book. But how is this possible? If it is really his, why doesn't he have other evidence of corruption? The thief is powerful, and his handwriting is so similar!"

Qing Yu said: "I think it has been imitated for many years, so it must be someone close to me."

Fang Jing nodded: "Yes, we are still investigating. There are not many maidservants in his family, but there are many scholars who help students, and there are many letters in the correspondence. Many of them are now officials, and many of them have chosen other positions. Check it out. It's really troublesome."

Zou Yi said casually, "Lord Fang has worked hard."

Only then did Fang Jing smile on his weary face: "It's not hard work, it's just that I don't take up my job."

Qing Yu squinted her eyes, too lazy to go around with this bastard again, and said directly: "Your Excellency, you never forget the appointment that day?"

Fang Jing said: "That's natural. At that time, I said that I wanted to save Junior Brother Ling, catch the thief who assassinated and killed the prisoner, and give the common people a good time, but even if they are caught now, I'm afraid they won't be happy, and the plan will naturally not come true. .”

Knowing his subtext, Qing Yu rolled her eyelids coolly: "Master Fang is right, we still have to catch the culprit of this series."

Fang Jing said with a smile: "It's not me who made things difficult, but the situation forced it. Now even if we find the insider, the people may not believe us. The Ministry of War may decide what to do, but the two bright and upright heroes have been exposed. The effect is better."

Although Qing Yu couldn't understand Fang Jing's face of sitting on the floor and raising prices, she also knew that what he said was telling the truth and was good for both parties, so she hated it and hated it, so she didn't shake her face, nodded and said: "That's good, Are your lords now in the felon cell?"

"Yes."

"I want to go and see."

Fang Jing looked hesitant, and Zou Yi hurriedly said, "Pretend to be a jailer and follow your lord to have a look, so you won't show your feet."

Fang Jing was not a bit pleasing to Zou Yi, especially when Zou Yi's peach blossom eyes were full of spring, it was like being drenched from head to toe by a pot of honey water, he struggled in the brain occupied by beauty Analyzing rationally, I thought: It was agreed that they would be invited to solve the case together. These two people have always been alert, and their backgrounds are also innocent, and they will not lose a piece of flesh at a glance. It would be even better if they could see some clues.

So she nodded, but now that she was being watched closely, Fang Jing called her confidants, dressed them up in disguise, and flew out from the eaves like a bird.
