ancient criminal minds

Holding the bank note, Lu Zheng felt a little helpless, it would definitely not be appropriate to go back to find Fang Yuan at this time, he could only temporarily accept the bank note.The things to be bought are almost ready, Lu Zheng looked at the time, and it is almost time for lunch, they must not be able to start a business today, so Lu Zheng thought about eating something in the restaurant, and then packed for Liuzhi and the others Take some back.

You Xiaowu made full use of Bao Inquiry's expertise and found a restaurant with a good reputation in Qingxi County.

Because it happened to be meal time, there were a lot of people eating in the restaurant. Lu Zheng and the others originally wanted a private room, but they didn't expect that the private rooms were already full, so they had to eat in the lobby.

I ordered a few signature dishes, and specifically asked not to put spicy food, but Lu Zheng was dumbfounded when the dishes came out, and he asked Xiaoer: "Didn't you say that you don't want spicy food?"

Xiao Er smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"Then what is this?" Lu Zheng asked, pointing to the red pepper on the plate.

Xiaoer replied calmly: "Side dishes."

"..."

Lu Zheng fully felt the deep malice in the entire Nanxia County.

You Xiaowu picked up a chopstick of chili and took a bite, then took a satisfied breath: "Delicious!"

Lu Zheng still fully understands his abilities, and in the end he can only eat vegetables bitterly, watching You Xiaowu gorge on meat. For foodies, he already has a premonition of how much his three-year tenure will be. pain.

After drinking and eating, the two packed meals for four people and prepared to go back to the county office.

At this moment, a handsomely dressed fat man walked in with two servants: "Little Er!"

Xiaoer greeted him immediately: "Second Master Lu, you are here."

The fat man said loudly: "My lord, I want to treat you, and I will leave the best box to vacate for you."

Xiaoer's face was full of embarrassment: "Second Master, it's a bad coincidence, the private rooms are all full, so I'll be wronged for you to eat in the lobby."

The fat man glared, "You know my temper." He motioned to the boy next to him, and the boy immediately took out a piece of silver from his purse and put it in the little second hand, "Go and ask, who is quicker?" After eating, please let him out of a box."

The boy's attitude was much better, and Xiao Er was also happy to run this leg. After a while, someone came out with an empty box, and the fat man went upstairs proudly.

Lu Zheng originally thought this was a play of the rich second generation bullying others, but seeing that young man's attitude was not the same, he couldn't help asking in doubt: "What is the origin of this person?"

A middle-aged man at the next table heard what he said, and immediately replied with a smile: "This young man is from another place, no wonder he doesn't know our three treasures of Qingxi County."

"Three treasures?" Lu Zheng was even more confused.

Unexpectedly, his expression made the people around him laugh. Through the discussions among the surrounding diners, Lu Zheng finally knew who the fat man was.

The fat man's surname is Lu, what is he capable of, but his elder brother is Lu Dashan from Qingxi County. Lu Dashan is in the medicinal material business. He also needs to open a porridge shed. Many people in Qingxi County have benefited from him, so they have a lot of patience with his useless brother.

In fact, the fat man didn't do anything bad. Although he acted domineeringly, he never really bullied men and women, but compared with his brother, he was naturally far behind.

The middle-aged man saw that Lu Zheng listened with gusto, and said, "This Fatty Lu is the number one living treasure in Qingxi County. Do you know what the other two treasures are?"

Lu Zheng shook his head: "I would like to hear the details."

The middle-aged man stretched out a finger: "The second one is the real Yuding."

As soon as he said this, there was another circle of tacit laughter around him.

Of course, Lu Zheng didn't think that this Jade Cauldron Master was some kind of Taoist priest. Sure enough, the man immediately said: "This script written by Jade Cauldron Master is really fragrant. If you want to read it, you can have it in Luoshan Study. If you are lucky I’m afraid I can still buy new scripts!”

Lu Zheng was speechless, what is this real Yuding real person who is still a little Huangwen writer, when Lu Zheng was in modern times, the brothers in the dormitory would share seeds with each other, and so on, Lu Zheng looked at the old and young men who enthusiastically recommended him, suddenly There is a kind of time and space reversal, when discussing which female is worried and emotional in the dormitory.

After accepting the baptism of ancient seeds, Lu Zheng became even more curious about this third treasure: "Then what is this third?"

"Third..." The man's elated expression suddenly froze, and the other diners at the side also looked around and sat back to their original seats. Finally, the man sat over and whispered, "If you are in Qingxi County After living for a while, you will naturally know, if you don't plan to live in Qingxi for a long time, then knowing it will not do you any good."

Lu Zheng became even more curious: "But what taboos are there?"

"This taboo..." The man sighed, "It's okay to tell you, this third treasure is a big thief."

Lu Zheng opened his eyes wide: "Big thief!?" He asked in surprise, "Why didn't the government arrest him?"

The man chuckled: "How can this government catch the thief in red? It is said that he is elusive, and he is in charge of injustice in the world."

"It sounds like a grand thief." Lu Zheng asked again, "But why do you talk about him as if you are afraid of him?"

The man looked embarrassed: "The red-clothed thief robs the rich and helps the poor. He is a rare chivalrous man, but his methods are cruel. Man, who can act like Lu Dashan, even if one day he will fall into the hands of the red-clothed thief. Aren't you afraid?"

As soon as he said this, the people beside him couldn't help it anymore, and they leaned over and said: "Just say that the Liu family boy, because he was not filial to his old mother, the red-clothed thief said he was not worthy of being a man who stands up to the sky, so he was eunuched directly. "

"Also, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family cheated outside behind her husband's back, and the red-clothed thief directly scratched her face. Tsk tsk, the boy from the Wu family only married such a flowery girl when she was over [-] years old. Yu's daughter-in-law, she hasn't warmed up yet, and she turned into an ugly monster in the end, and the Wu family boy still dare not divorce his wife, lest the red-robed thief find out and teach him, poor thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man on the side disagreed: "If you want me to say, this is all their own fault. If there were no red-robed thieves, Qingxi County would be so peaceful now. Dare to act presumptuously in Qingxi County?"

The man spread his hands: "I think that although the robbers in red are cruel, they didn't hurt people's lives. On the contrary, it's a good thing to make those wicked people have scruples."

"Yeah yeah!"

Lu Zheng could see that, except for the old man, other people who said such words were somewhat insincere, but he also understood that if the moral level of a place is improved by relying on fear, it can be regarded as a kind of social abnormality. It is undeniable that this person The existence of the Red Clothes Pirates makes those who have evil intentions afraid to take action, but in the long run, it will not be good for the local social form.

Lu Zheng originally thought that the law and order in this place was good because of Ma County Magistrate's good governance, but now it seems that most of the credit is due to the red-clothed thief.

While they were talking, a man in gray clothes walked into the restaurant, and Xiao Er immediately greeted him: "Guest officer, please."

The man coughed: "I have an appointment with Lu Erye, may I ask if he is here?"

"Second Master Lu is in the box, please go upstairs."

Lu Zheng saw that Xiao Er had delivered the packaged meals, so he pulled You Xiao Wu along. After a while, he had successfully penetrated into the masses of the people, and became brothers with a group of people.

You Xiaowu is still a little bit unsatisfied: "This Qingxi County is really interesting."

Lu Zheng asked: "What did you find out?"

You Xiaowu looked around and said, "Go back and talk."

When the two returned to the county government office, they realized that the place had changed a lot. But in just half a day, the inside of the house was completely repainted. Bao Zheng took Tie Dan and the boy named Yuan Bao to clean up the yard. , Liu Zhi took the maid surnamed Pang to paste the window paper.

Lu Zheng came to Qingxi County to take up the post. It is reasonable to say that the accommodation and furniture should be settled locally, but he has not seen the county magistrate so far, so he can only put it on his own for the time being. Fortunately, Lu Zheng is not very picky, so he bought it. The bed, table, and other cabinets will be laid by the carpenter slowly.

In the afternoon, everyone worked together and finally cleaned up the house. In the evening, I bought rice and vegetables for cooking. Mrs. Pang also tried her best to avoid being dissatisfied by the host. Unexpectedly, it was very suitable for everyone, especially Lu Zheng, after experiencing the fear of chili peppers all afternoon, he was moved to tears when he saw the clear soup and white meat.

Everyone, regardless of master and servant, sat and ate together lively.

Lu Zheng raised his glass first: "I won't say much about the friendship you have with me, I will do it first as a respect!"

Bao Zheng called out first: "Okay!"

Lu Zheng drank it in one gulp, and his facial features wrinkled from the hotness.

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone laughed and laughed, and Mrs. Pang and Yuan Bao, who were still stiff at first, relaxed slowly.

Lu Zheng's capacity for alcohol is poor, but he feels more at ease than ever before. When he was in Yanjing, he always felt that he was occupying someone else's position. Everything he owned was based on the original owner.But now he was just himself, he didn't need to hide his true temperament when he was with Bao Zheng and the others, even in such a simple county government, he still felt happy.

After dinner, Mrs. Pang went to clean up and wash the dishes, and Yuan Bao also went to help.

Only then did Lu Zheng say: "It's settled now, everyone knows the situation in Qingxi County, I don't know what everyone's plans are."

Bao Zheng looked at the crowd, and said first: "Since your lord has become a county captain, I will recommend myself as a head arrester!"

Dendrobium followed up and said: "I... I can do a job."

Liu Zhi continued: "The little girl has no other abilities, so she just takes care of the house and will never let everyone bother."

You Xiaowu took a sip of his wine before saying, "I'll just go back to my old job. No news from Qingxi County will escape my grasp."

Seeing that they had finished talking, Tie Dan frowned and thought about what he could do for a long time, and finally gave up on himself: "I can't think of what I can do, anyway, anyone who needs it can call me, no matter what."

Liu Zhi covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I asked you to help me embroider, and you will come too?"

Tie Dan scratched his head: "As long as sister Liu Zhi doesn't dislike my ugly embroidery."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and Tie Dan also giggled silly.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the silvery moonlight is falling, and the cool spring breeze is blowing with the fragrance of flowers, as if they are staying here because this is not a family but a family.
