I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

13 Xinghua Shuyingli

"You're talking about Mr. Chen, aren't you?" The guy didn't know he was talking about the deceased Kaifeng magistrate, so he looked very calm, "He likes my sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and he comes here every now and then to sit in the dark place. Beside him The old Yu who is with me is also familiar with our guys."

The bond between the Ping'an Tavern and Prefect Chen was deeper than Jiang Lin imagined.

Jiang Lin originally thought that the conflict between Prefect Chen and Lu Ping was more important, and the Ping'an Tavern was a coincidence.However, after some inquiries, Jiang Lin found out that Prefect Chen would come to the Ping'an Tavern about five or six times a month, and would stay there until dark.

Compared with what the people in the Pei Mansion said yesterday, the prefect Chen came here more diligently than he went home.

You must know that Ping'an Tavern is located in the downtown area in the south of the city, which is far from the Kaifeng government office in the north.What is so strange about the wine here that makes Chen Zhifu so obsessed with it?

Jiang Lin nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, I often hear Mr. Chen talk about your family's sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and he also said that many years ago, he had a fight with a young man because he wanted to steal the last pot of wine from your family. Woolen cloth!"

The guy still remembered this, and quickly corrected him: "It's not because of my family's wine. I don't know the specific reason, but I know they both drank too much. What did the other man say 'you still have Come here to drink with face', babbling a bunch of dialects, I can't understand. Finally, the people from the government came and took the man away."

The guy didn't forget about selling wine when he said this, he untied the apricot blossom wine and poured them three glasses.

Jiang Lin also held the venue and took half a sling of money and put it on the table, saying: "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered, that man was beaten up later, and was picked up by his wife, right?"

"Where did he get his wife? That's his brother. I heard that he has been living in a village outside the city. He happened to come to Kaifeng at that time. Otherwise, he would have died in prison."

"Brother?"

"It should be, otherwise who cares about him?"

With new clues and directions, Jiang Lin winked at Xie Ling. The latter understood what he meant and would send someone from Dali Temple to investigate early tomorrow morning.

"Take the wine with you on the way. Let's go there earlier, and it will be really dark if we delay." Jiang Lin smiled and patted Xie Ling on the shoulder, who reluctantly stood up with the wine in his hand.

The guy had just sent Jiang Lin and the others out of the tavern when he was taken aback by the people behind him.

"Oh Mr. Jin, my little one has already packed up your upper room, and what you hold in your hand is..."

"Take it back to my room." Bai Yutang casually stuffed the streamer specially for traveling doctors in the Jianghu to the assistant.

Bai Yutang lived here, and happened to listen to Jiang Lin's words when he came back.He looked at the direction where Zhan Zhao and the others were leaving with a full face of displeasure, and murmured: "It's a bet between me and Zhan Zhao, and this group of people want to bully the few with more, let's see what Wu Ye will do later. Fix you."

The alley is narrow and dark, with no end in sight.

Outside is a brightly lit bustling market, and if you enter only a foot in, you will have the effect of not being able to see your fingers.

Xie Ling held the jug in his left hand and the lantern in his right, illuminating a faint stretch of the legendary "Cannibal Alley".

As the breeze came, Xie Ling's steps were slow and hesitant, and his voice was a little weak: "Shao Cheng, why, why did you let the lower official go first?"

Anyway, having played the horror version of the escape room many times, Jiang Lin was very disdainful of Xie Ling's fear.

Holding Beibei with one hand and Xie Ling's shoulder with the other, he whispered firmly, "Don't be afraid, do you know? Ghosts always come from behind. With me protecting you, you will be fine." of."

Then, he turned his head again, and told Zhan Zhao who was following behind him, "Brother Zhan, we and Beibei are leading the battle, so you can hold my shoulders and don't worry about anything."

Because of the gust of wind just now, Zhan Zhao, who heard Jiang Lin's two passages clearly: "..."

The alley was longer than Jiang Lin imagined.

Relying on the dim light of the lantern, he remembered the debris piled up on both sides of the alley.

About [-] steps away from the entrance of the alley, there is a statue of land embedded in the wall. The more you walk in, the more debris there is. The three of them lined up and squeezed and circled. It took a long time to reach the end of the alley.

Beibei urinated at the base of the wall, and Xie Ling was no longer as scared as when he first came in. He patted the dirt wall and said, "This wall should be hard for ordinary people to get through, maybe the Zhan guards can turn it over, ah, something ..."

With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground with a bang, the black shadow on the top skipped by, and Xie Ling was so startled that he cried out.

Jiang Lin was stunned, and then he heard a small cat meowing, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "It's just a cat, what are you afraid of?"

Before he finished speaking, a hot and soft thing landed on his head.

"Cat, cat, cat, cat!..." Jiang Lin hurriedly retreated towards Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhan, save me!"

Xie Ling took the lantern and shone it on Jiang Lin's face, and Bei Bei rushed over to help.As soon as Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand, he caught the little milk cat on Jiang Lin's head, but the cat's claws caught Jiang Lin's long hair, causing Jiang Lin to wail again and again.

Seeing that he was still holding his arm, Zhan Zhao said helplessly, "Jiang Shaocheng, you can let go..."

Jiang Lin stuck both hands in his loose long hair, and asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean? I want to tie my hair up again, and I'm arranging my hair..."

"...What?" The half of Zhan Zhao's body that was being grabbed suddenly went numb.

It happened to be his right hand that was used to wield the knife, Zhan Zhao felt a sense of crisis, and immediately threw away the wild cat.

He flicked his arm a few times to no avail, and was about to strike with all his strength, when the laughter that was too familiar to him stopped his movement.

The breeze pushed away the thick clouds, and the half moon illuminated the eyebrows and eyes of the people around them, shining brightly.

Zhan Zhao hoarsely said: "...Bai Yutang!"

"A cat's skill is a cat's courage, Zhan Zhao, you're so interesting!" Bai Yutang clapped his hands together, amused by Jiang Lin's disheveled hair, "The three of you have no guts, why did you come here?" Frighten yourself in such a ghostly place!"

Jiang Lindao: "Who said we have no guts? You didn't intend to scare us."

"Hmph, we agreed that Zhan Zhao and I will find the murderer first. It's not fair at all for so many of you to investigate the case together!"

Seeing that they were quarreling here, Xie Ling, who didn't want to stay here for a long time, quickly made a siege and said: "Shao Cheng, I see nothing special here, let's go out quickly."

Jiang Lin straightened his hair and endured a few words of ridicule from Bai Yutang who was walking in the front all the way.

When he saw the statue of land embedded in the wall, Jiang Lin casually said "It's almost here", but felt that the appearance of the alley was not right.

Xie Ling didn't notice the change in his expression, and hurried forward after hearing this, trying to be the first to run out of the "cannibal alley".

However, the moment Xie Ling came out, he was stunned by what he saw.

The place where they live is desolate and dilapidated, the houses are in disarray, there is no light in front of the door, and there is no hint of prosperity in the middle of the city.

Xie Ling's heart was suddenly filled with panic.

He tremblingly said to Jiang Lin: "Jiang, Jiang Shaocheng, is this the place that merchant, merchant said...the underworld?!"

Bai Yutang was also greatly shocked by this situation.

He also said to Jiang Lin: "Jiang, what did you do? How did we get to your door?"

Jiang Lin flicked his unreasonable long hair to his face, and said with a smile, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."

Bai Yutang dodged swiftly and stuck out his tongue at Jiang Lin.The latter didn't want to talk to him, so he comforted Xie Ling: "Don't panic, I already know how we got here."
