Criminal investigation in ancient times

Only Zhang Rui and Zhou Yin were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Zhang Rui coughed and joked: "That day when the prince said he would invite me to dinner, can it still count?"

Zhou Yin got up and walked to him, bowed his head and said, "Naturally."

The height advantage made Zhang Rui lose all momentum and could only take two steps back, touched his earlobe and said, "Hey, then I have time to talk, I... I just remembered that there are still some files that have not been sorted out."

Zhou Yin held onto his arm with the corner of his mouth curled up and said, "This case has been settled, you don't need to sort out the volumes, how about today?"

Zhang Rui blushed a little and said: "Then it's better to be respectful than obey your orders."

Following Zhou Yin in the carriage and out of the house, they came to a relatively remote alley. Zhan Qing and Duan Xiaobai drove the carriage in and stopped in front of a restaurant.

Zhang Rui sniffed, and a strong aroma of wine came to his face. It's really drunk, everyone is drunk!

Zhou Yin lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, and said to the people in the car, "How?"

Zhang Rui nodded and smiled and said, "It's really unusual." He also jumped down with Zhou Yin's arm around him.

Zhan Qing knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a little boy who scratched his head and said, "Who are you?"

Zhan Qing smiled and said, "But after more than a month, you don't remember me?"

The child tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "Oh! I remembered, you were the one who removed several jars of good wine hidden by the master last time!"

Zhan Qing coughed awkwardly and said, "Go and tell your master that we are here."

The child covered his mouth and smiled, turned his head and ran into the yard, shouting as he ran: "Master, that person who robbed you of your good wine is here again!~~~"

Zhang Rui and Duan Xiaobai looked at Zhan Qing amusedly, Zhan Qing looked at the prince, hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his head helplessly.

The four of them entered the courtyard and saw that the courtyard was full of large and small wine vats.The wine jars were all covered with red heads, and there was a commotion in the room, and after a while a middle-aged man ran out hurriedly with his shoes on.

"You, you...you, you are still here! This time, no matter what, you are not allowed to take my wine again!"

Zhang Rui took a closer look at this man, and saw that his long hair was tied loosely behind his head, and he was wearing a green robe. Xu Shi had just drank wine, his cheeks were slightly drunk, his eyes were watery, and he was three points more beautiful than a woman.

Zhou Yin said: "You have brewed so much wine, do you want to finish it yourself?"

The man belched and said, "Naturally, I said that I would stop brewing wine until I was 30, and drink the wine I made myself for the rest of the time."

Zhou Yin shook his head helplessly: "Today, my friends and I are going to have a drink here, you go and bring out a jar of good wine, this king will definitely not owe you any more wine money this time."

The man sneered and said, "I always say that, but this time it won't work. I'll pay the money before drinking."

Zhang Rui looked at Zhou Yin, secretly laughing in his heart, he didn't expect that his majestic prince would still owe someone money for drinks.

Zhou Yin glanced at him, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said, "If you know how much he pays for a pot of wine, you will understand why I owe him money for the wine."

Zhang Rui said, "How many taels of silver?"

Zhou Yin stretched out a finger.

Zhang Rui: "One tael? Or 100 taels?"

Zhou Yin smiled and said: "1000 taels! Do you think this guy is poor and crazy?"

Zhang Rui was surprised and said, "1000 taels?! Has anyone bought it with money?"

The man in the green clothes suddenly fell silent, and said with a smile: "Disciple, go and take out a jar of Qiulubai I brewed years ago to entertain you two." After saying that, he rubbed the corners of his eyes and yawned: "I'm sorry to entertain you. Zhou." After speaking, he wobbled into the room.

Zhang Rui didn't know what he said wrong, and looked at Zhou Yin suspiciously.

Zhou Yin patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's nothing, he has always been so weird, today you and I just came out to drink, don't care about anything else."

The two entered a room with a small square table and a chair on one side. The boy walked in with a wine jar half his height in his arms.Zhan Qing hurriedly reached out to take it, and the little boy said: "The master said, you should drink quickly, and leave quickly after drinking, don't always come to him to fight the autumn wind." Makes people laugh.

Zhou Yin raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell him, the matter he asked me to inquire about has already become clear. If you don't want to know, I won't come next time."

The little boy rolled his eyes wildly, covered his mouth with a smile, turned around and ran out.

After a while, there was a mess of footsteps from far to near, "My lord, you said you have news about him?"

Zhou Yin filled his glass with the wine jar, and poured another glass for Zhang Rui.Seeing that he didn't answer, the man in green coughed in embarrassment: "Cough, Qing Luo, go and get the pot of monkey brew for the teacher, and bring the bacon you bought this morning. This prince is here, how can you It's for the prince to drink some wine, hehehe, is it the prince." Said, he walked forward and moved the wine jar on the table to one side.

Zhou Yin said with a smile: "Your face is comparable to the sky in June, you can change as you say."

The man scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "By the way, my lord has not introduced this little young man beside me. It is said that my lord has come to my restaurant so many times, and it is the first time that I bring someone else here. I think this young man is very close to the lord." OK."

Zhang Rui felt a little hot on his face. Although there was no other meaning in what he said, it was easy to think wrong.

Zhou Yin said: "You don't want to know about that person?"

The man in green put away his flattering smile and said, "Please tell me, my lord."

Zhou Yin: "A few days ago, spies in the south received news that the man had shown up in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Jiangnan?...Jiangnan" said and ran out in a hurry.The little boy who was holding the jug in one hand and the meat in the other was almost hit, and Zhan Qing picked up everything he brought with him.

The little boy was startled, and when he realized it, he squinted his eyes and smiled, revealing a mouth full of incomplete teeth...

Zhan Qing arranged the food and wine, led the little boy back out, and closed the door casually, Duan Xiaobai had already held a jar of wine by himself and didn't know where to drink it.

Suddenly there were only two people left in the room. Zhang Rui took a sip from the wine glass. The wine was soft in the mouth, and the rich fruit fragrance accompanied by spicy and sweetness filled the mouth. A hot current flowed down the throat and into the stomach, and the body was immediately warm.

Zhou Yin: "How is this wine?"

Zhang Rui said with a smile: "Good wine! Monkey Brew is really extraordinary." In his previous life, Zhang Rui was also considered an unbeatable player on the wine table.I also drank a lot of good wine in my previous life. What Maotai Guojiao, compared with this wine, is really better than wine.

Zhou Yin picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "It really is a good wine. The Lihuabai I got from him last time is not as good as this one."

Zhang Rui couldn't help laughing when he remembered what happened in the restaurant that day.

Zhou Yin was puzzled: "Why are you so happy when you think of it?"

Zhang Rui said: "It's nothing, I just remembered the last time I drank with the prince in the restaurant. I feel as if I am possessed by Yama, but wherever I go, it is always easy to encounter murder."

Zhou Yin stroked his chin and smiled, "It's true what you said. Every time I meet you, there are always homicide cases. The first time is Sun Hongqi's case, the second time is Yang Xingbao's case, and the third time is Sima Zhao's case." Liang, I hope today will not be the fourth time.

Zhang Rui said that I felt like there were three vertical lines on my head. Could it be that I am really that weak?It was obviously not like this in the last life, why did it become like this in ancient times.

Zhou Yin: "By the way, I heard that the Minister of Dali Temple recommended you to be an official in the court?"

As soon as Zhang Rui mentioned this, he immediately nodded with interest and said, "Indeed, Dali Siqing recommended me to be the prefect of Tongzhou."

Zhou Yin frowned and said, "Tongzhou? This place is overgrown with grass bandits, why are you put in such a messy place?"

Zhang Rui: "It doesn't matter where you are. The more difficult the place is, the more political achievements you can make. It will be easier to get promoted after the three-year evaluation."

Zhou Yin: "I heard that Tongzhou has changed four magistrates in five years. How can you fight against that local snake at such a young age and shallow foundation?"

Zhang Rui rubbed his head and smiled wryly: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Who knows if there is another village?"

Zhou Yin said: "It's such a beautiful village, if that's the case, then I wish you a high promotion in advance." As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and drank it down.

Zhang Rui also picked up the wine glass and drank it down. This wine is really good. After drinking it, it leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth. If it is not too expensive... I really want to buy a jar.

The two of them exchanged glasses and drank from the afternoon to the sunset, drinking more and more happily and talking more and more.From the ministers of the court to the poor, Zhou Yin talked about everything. For the first time in his life, Zhou Yin understood what it was like to have a good time with wine.

Looking up at the person opposite, that person was already a little drunk, his cheeks were powdered like rouge, his eyes were watery, and his mind was confused with every frown and smile. Zhou Yin lowered his head in panic, and put the wine in the glass He drank the wine in one gulp, but the fire in his heart was burning hotter and hotter.

Zhou Yin couldn't help muttering: "Zhang Rui..."

Zhang Rui shook his head and said, "Well... I seem to have drunk too much." He said and got up, "I'm going to relieve myself, are you going?"

Zhou Yin stood up in a daze and said, "Go..."

The two supported each other, pushed open the door and went out, Zhan Qing got up when he heard the voice and asked, "Does your lord have any orders?"

Zhou Yin Yaoyao hiccupped and said, "Let's go to Gong's room."

The corners of Zhan Qing's mouth twitched as he watched the two of them stumbling towards Gong's room.

When it came to Gongfang, Zhou Yin let go of Zhang Rui, and couldn't help but raised his front pendant to settle it. After finishing the solution, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to see Zhang Rui, was shocked, and then laughed loudly, almost waking up from the wine. up.

I saw that Zhang Rui untied his belt, and then grabbed the belt with both hands and regarded it as his own work. He just untied his hands directly, and ended up peeing in his pants... After untiing, he shook the belt, and then Fasten it again.Turning to Zhou Yin with a smile, "Let's go."

Zhou Yin: "..."
