Tang Dynasty detective

When the four judges went ashore, they first went to the government office and took the official papers for investigating the case.

The governor of Yangzhou personally stamped the official seal on the official document.The governor is from Huaiyang, thin and wizened, full of vigor, with a sharp light in his eyes when he looks at people, he doesn't look like an official but a businessman.

It is said that the governor is thirty-five this year, but his official position is not high, but he has a lot of connections in the court.The purchase case of the governor of Yangzhou was recommended by Chang'an to Guanlan. Although the dean did not disclose who the recommender was, but a little imagination can guess that it must be an official of high rank in the court.

The governor handed over the official investigative document with the official seal to Zhang Yuqing, and said: "I heard that the four detectives cracked the case of Si Tianjian Wei Luo's disappearance, and their reputation has spread far and wide. , and ask the four judges to worry about it."

Zhang Yuqing accepted the official letter to investigate the case, and said: "Don't worry, the governor, the four of us will definitely go all out." This kind of thing is his face.

Di Jinghong sat down to drink tea, leisurely, smacking the Longjing in Ming Dynasty, muttering Zhang Yuqing's famous line in his heart, "We must do our best." "This is our duty." Every time Zhang Yuqing said these two sentences He didn't bother to say another word.

The governor said that he happened to have something important to do today, otherwise the four judges would be appointed to take over the dust.It seems that he deliberately avoided suspicion.

The four judges were not annoyed, and left the government office politely.For one thing, since the governor didn't put Judge Baiyin in his eyes, they didn't need to stay for long, they exchanged money for each other, and they didn't owe each other; two, the four of them were tired of the flattery of pushing cups and changing lamps, even if the governor was cleaning up for them , most of them will not be able to eat; most importantly, if the governor is corrupt and corrupt, his hands are not clean... After eating and drinking, he will be embarrassed to use ruthless hands when arresting people.

It just happened to be a relief.

Guanlan has no sub-rules in Yangzhou. The four of them plan to find an inn to settle down first, and then work after eating. It has been more than ten days since the incident happened, and there is no rush at this hour. Besides, the case of missing persons is extremely complicated. It may not be possible to solve the problem at the scene. The main thing is to visit and investigate and collect evidence and clues. This is a laborious and complex task.

Needless to say, Di Jinghong naturally wanted to live with Zhen Ziyu, and Judge Guanlan went out to investigate the case. The two shared a room. First, it was to save money, second, it was convenient for discussion, and third, it was to take care of each other.Seeing Di Jinghong leading Yen Ziyu, Liu Boen happily clinged to Zhang Yuqing, Zhang Yuqing kept a cold face and showed no expression.

Liu Boen felt that if he didn't refuse, then he was allowed.

The four packed up and prepared to visit the home of the missing salt merchant Lu Lin.

Walking to Yangzhoufu Street, the road is full of flowers, and there are many shops on both sides. The scenery is more beautiful than Chang'an, and the business exchanges are not worse than Chang'an. Di Jinghong looked at the lively scene and became very playful. He asked Zhen Ziyu to ask Dongwen West, insist on buying him some gadgets.

Zhen Ziyu didn't want it, and reminded him casually, "Don't spend money recklessly, don't you know how much debt you owe?" If it wasn't because this person owed such foreign debts, why would Zhen Ziyu scramble to get out the mountain? Token?

The remuneration for buying the case documents is extremely high, totaling 150 taels of silver, which will be shared [-]-[-] by the academy and the judge.It is rare for a silver judge to receive such a high remuneration.No matter what, Di Jinghong is also a silver judge. Being chased by someone is shameless. Although Di Jinghong never needs such a thing as face, Zhen Ziyu feels that he still has an obligation to help him with housework. After all, Both are together.

We're together... Thinking of this, Zhen Ziyu unconsciously pursed his lips and showed a smile. After going around for a while, he actually became this person's family again.

Yen Ziyu was born in a family of merchants, and he is very good at making calculations, especially being a small family.He secretly planned in his heart that after receiving the reward, not only would he be able to make up for Di Jinghong's shortfall, but the two of them could also save some pocket money.When going out, it is always safe to have money on you.

After all, Yen Ziyu still felt that this was not his home.

The two walked and watched the excitement, Di Jinghong took Zhen Ziyu's hand, and Zhen Ziyu was about to pull it back, when suddenly someone bumped into him, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Di Jinghong quickly supported Zhen Ziyu, and without turning his head, he raised his voice and cursed: "You are blind, you can't watch carefully when you walk!"

Hearing the sound, the other party didn't reply, but surrounded him with three or four thugs, who looked like they were the guards of a rich family, pointing at Di Jinghong and wanting to beat him up.Zhen Ziyu definitely couldn't just watch Di Jinghong being beaten, but they were newcomers, and the strong dragon couldn't overwhelm the bully. Zhen Ziyu didn't want to cause trouble, so he wanted to delay as long as possible until Zhang Yuqing and Liu Boen came over.

Those two people wereted some time in the back, so Liu Boen must be greedy again.

Zhen Ziyu turned around to see clearly that the one who bumped into him was a sedan chair, four people carried it, the bearer walked in a hurry, and accidentally bumped him into a stagger.Ordinarily, the other party was ignorant first, but if Di Jinghong started to curse, then they would have no reason, and could only take a step back from each other, perfunctory.

When Di Jinghong saw that the other party was about to make a move, how could he be able to bear this anger, he made a gesture to meet him. Zhen Ziyu hurriedly grabbed him, fearing that he would not listen, he said again: "Jinghong, don't make a move." There are many people on the other side, so doing it may not be able to take advantage of it, and they still have official duties, so it is better to provoke them less.

Di Jinghong was furious, and his chest still heaved after being grabbed by Yen Ziyu.Zhen Ziyu dragged him behind him, took a step forward and saluted him, and first apologized to the other party, "I'm sorry, all strong men, my brother didn't intend to cause trouble, please bear with me if I offend you."

Seeing Di Jinghong, the guards and thugs didn't make a move, they didn't attack rashly, but they didn't retreat either, they seemed to be waiting for the owner in the sedan chair to speak.Yen Ziyu had no choice but to cup his fists at the sedan chair again, and said, "Please forgive me."

The official sedan chairs have strict requirements according to their grades, and the sedan chairs used by civilians also have prescribed standards. This is a small flat-topped sedan chair. There are more than ten guards, probably wealthy merchants.

The person in the sedan chair did not answer, Zhen Ziyu looked up, the curtains were light and thin and were made of high-quality silk, the situation inside was not very clear, but it seemed that a man was sitting.Yen Ziyu knows this kind of silk, and the weaving method is unique, the magic is that it looks like clouds and fog from the outside, but it can be seen clearly from the inside.

Surrounded by people in twos and threes, watching Zhen Ziyu and Jin Jiuqi pointing and whispering, after a while they scattered away in a hurry, as if they were afraid of getting blood from a fight, with horror in their eyes.Zhen Ziyu suddenly found it funny, who is so powerful that the common people here are afraid, he really wants to see the person in the sedan chair.

Not long after, the people in the sedan chair lifted the curtain of the sedan chair with a fragrant concubine fan, and the bearer quickly opened the curtain to wait for the owner to get off the sedan chair.

When the man got off the sedan chair, Zhen Ziyu looked carefully, he was indeed the young master of a wealthy merchant family.The man was about twenty years old, wearing a robe made of expensive silk materials, and the jade pendant on the waist was also a good item. Although his figure was not as tall as Di Jinghong, he was considered "burly" in Yangzhou.

The man got off the sedan chair slowly, walked straight to Yen Ziyu and stood still.Yen Ziyu cupped his hands and saluted again.

The man stared at Zhen Ziyu, never leaving for a moment, his tone was arrogant and domineering, "Aren't you from Yangzhou?"

Zhen Ziyu said: "It's the first time I come to the treasure land, if there is any collision, please forgive me."

The man raised the corners of his mouth playfully, looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said, "Forgive me, it's okay~ Ah, I never make things difficult for beauties."

Zhen Ziyu frowned, Di Jinghong pulled him behind him, protected him firmly, turned his head and said angrily to the man, "Who do you think is a beauty?"

The man said displeasedly: "What's the matter with you? Get out of here." After finishing speaking, he ordered the left and right, "Teach him the rules of life."

Di Jinghong was furious, even if they didn't do it, Di Jinghong couldn't hug him.Although Di Jinghong was a bit lazy, he seldom fought, but if someone came to him, he would not be afraid. The newly learned Lingyun footwork just happened to have a chance to practice.

The man took two steps back, stood aside, and watched the commotion with the Xiangfei fan.

The guards on the other side moved first. Although the thugs' moves were fierce, Di Jinghong and Zhen Ziyu's Lingyun footwork was so strong that those thugs couldn't get close to them within three moves.

The man must be used to deceiving others, watching the bustle and seeing that his subordinates did not take advantage, his brows were dizzy with anger, and he cursed: "You trash, get the hell out of here." After finishing speaking, he put on his brocade robe and closed Xiangfei Fan, turned sideways to meet Di Jinghong's fist.

Di Jinghong went up to meet him, and Zhen Ziyu said in surprise: "Be careful." Zhen Ziyu looked carefully, there was a hidden weapon in the closed fan of Xiangfei, if it touched his hands, blood would be seen.

Zhen Ziyu was afraid that Di Jinghong would suffer, so after pushing Di Jinghong away, he went up to deal with the man.The man seemed to calm down in an instant, with a frivolous smile on his face.

After four or five rounds of dealing with Zhen Ziyu, the man stopped his moves, stepped back a few steps and stood still, and said, "Ouyang Jianguang, what's your name for a beauty?"

Di Jinghong stood in front of Zhen Ziyu again in an instant, spat, with sparks in his eyes, "Don't stain my Ziyu's eyes with what you are doing. What kind of skill is it to use a hidden weapon? Fists. If you want to hit, you can hit, if you don't, you can roll, the fists of my father don't have eyes."

The man glanced at Di Jinghong, then smiled at Zhen Ziyu, "Ziyu? Ziyu!" After saying that, he turned and got on the sedan chair, and a sentence came out of the sedan chair, "Ziyu, we will meet later."

Di Jinghong wanted to catch up, but Zhen Ziyu stopped him and said, "Forget it, let him go, we still have work to do."

Di Jinghong was so angry that Tianling Gai was furious, stomped his feet and scolded people, and took advantage of the situation to scold Zhang Yuqing and Liu Boen together, "Where are the two of them dead? We were bullied, but they were happy."

Zhen Ziyu pointed not far away, and said: "Here we come." Zhen Ziyu saw Liu Boen from a distance, holding a big bag of things, probably greedy again.

Liu Boen greeted them happily by raising his hand. He took three steps at a time and raised the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of Di Jinghong, "Try it, it's delicious."

Di Jinghong pulled his face and didn't answer.

Liu Boen was neither angry nor annoyed, and handed it to Zhen Ziyu, "Ziyu taste it, it's very sweet, Yuqing bought it for me."

Yen Ziyu reached out and took a piece, put it in his mouth, it was full of fragrance, "Yes, it's delicious, thank you Boen."

Di Jinghong turned around and left, ignoring the three people behind him.

Liu Boen glanced at Di Jinghong, and secretly asked Zhen Ziyu, "What's wrong with that man."

Zhen Ziyu said calmly: "It's nothing, just had a small accident and got into a fight with someone."

Liu Boen was startled and said, "Fighting? You two?" If Di Jinghong was fighting with others, it could be justified, but Yen Ziyu also followed suit, which is unbelievable.

Yen Ziyu nodded, and grabbed another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with his hand, "When you meet a mad dog, it doesn't make sense, so I can only teach you a lesson. If I don't see you in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more domineering." Osmanthus Cake, took two quick steps and caught up with Di Jinghong.

Liu Boen was stunned, and stared at Zhang Yuqing with wide eyes, "Ziyu actually cursed someone?"
