[The first watch, today's state is not as good as yesterday, and it is estimated that the third watch will be completed in the middle of the night. 】

Clear the void and welcome guests.

Sigh~

Zhang Chenggang reined in the reins, and Chen Jingde hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted from the horse, rushed to the front in a few steps, raised the curtain with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "My lord, I have arrived at the place." ”

It seems that such people expect them to be able to take charge on their own, which is absolutely wishful thinking; But if you want to talk about petty intentions, you can meet the horses diligently, but it is also beyond the reach of most capable officials.

Sun Shaozong nodded quietly, jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the wine store on the side of the road.

"My lord, my lord!"

The shopkeeper, who was being repeatedly interrogated by the officials, saw that it was Sun Shaozong who arrived, and immediately greeted the door with joy, but before he could cross the threshold, he was stopped by two officials guarding the door.

The shopkeeper was frightened and took half a step back, and no longer dared to move forward indiscriminately, so he only said with a bitter face: "My lord Mingjian, the villain is just opening the door to do business, how can he ever care about what the diners do?" Besides, these two monks are both fresh faces, and they are not regular customers in the store......"

He was still complaining here, Sun Shaozong had already arrived, raised his hand and waved away the official guarding the door, and said with a warm smile: "Don't worry, it's just a routine inquiry, it's not too early or too late, and it won't ruin your business." ”

As he spoke, he stepped over the threshold.

The shopkeeper hurriedly retreated to the side, and echoed with a smile on his face: "With your old words, the villain's heart is much more down-to-earth - in these four or nine cities, who doesn't know that you love the people like a son, and you are most sympathetic to us poor people." ”

can be close to the clear and empty view of every inch of land and gold, and the owner of a wine shop can not be regarded as a poor person no matter how you say it.

However, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to dismantle him, and asked the official in charge of interrogation for the transcript, but found that there was no text on it, only two bald heads with burdens on their backs and cowhide boots were drawn.

Tut~

I've encountered indiscriminate refills again.

According to official regulations, because the official is responsible for reading official documents and checking letters, it is a basic requirement to be able to read and write.

But how many of those who can read and write these years are willing to handle such lowly labor?

Therefore, among the low-level officials, there are not many who can read and write.

The errand officer who was responsible for recording the confession also knew that his masterpiece might not be able to enter the eyes of Lord Shaoqing, so he hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Master, after the villain was interrogated, he found two suspicious points: First, when the two monks were eating here, they carried a burden around them, and when they found the corpse, there was no trace of this burden. ”

"Second, these two monks are wearing cowhide boots with upturned bottoms, this kind of boots are made of buffalo leather, it is not easy to take them off, and it is even more difficult to destroy them - if it weren't for something strange on them, the murderer shouldn't have deliberately disposed of it."

Although the cultural literacy is a little worse, this official can be selected and sent to interrogate such an important case, and there are really some ways to do it.

Sun Shaozong nodded slightly, and then asked, "How far have you been chasing it out now?" ”

These words were a bit clueless, but the officer immediately replied: "Now I have chased Hualou Street, which is more than two miles away from here, and about three miles away from the Dragon King Temple." ”

After hearing this, Sun Shaozong threw the pamphlet back to him, and instructed casually: "Draw down the routes before and after to this official." ”

The official was waiting to receive the order, but he heard Sun Shaozong ask again, "What is your name?" ”

A little joy flashed on the officer's face, but he quickly relented and bowed down and replied, "Villain Huang Bin." ”

"In the future, remember to read a book and recognize a word."

Sun Shaozong said, ignored Huang Bin, went straight to the square table in the center, and called the still nervous shopkeeper, and ordered two plates of pickled side dishes.

Hearing that Master Sun was going to eat in his own small shop, the shopkeeper was really a lot more relaxed, urging the guy one after another, bringing out two plates of signature dishes, and personally delivering them to Sun Shaozong.

"My lord, this sour and hot bamboo shoots is your original ......"

"Gross~!"

Just about to play a dozen emotional cards, Chen Jingde's face next to him changed suddenly, first his throat surged and retched a few times, covered his mouth and ran out.

After a while, I heard the sound of wah-wah vomiting coming from outside the door.

How is this possible?

The shopkeeper opened his mouth wide inexplicably, wanting to ask what was going on, but he didn't dare to open his mouth rashly, so he had to laugh there embarrassedly.

Sun Shaozong naturally knew that Chen Jingde remembered the residue in the corpse's stomach, but he didn't blink and said nonsense: "He probably ate a bad stomach in the morning, and he suffered from the wind and cold on the way - don't talk about him, tell the official about the two monks." ”

The shopkeeper didn't know what was going on, so he naturally believed it, so under the inducement of Sun Shaozong, he recalled the details of yesterday.

However, the two monks didn't stay for a while in total, and they didn't say a word when they ate, and the store recalled again and again, but it was just a trivial matter, and the two points found by the officials before were basically not clues.

At the same time as Sun Shaozong's interrogation, people came to report one after another, expanding the itinerary of the two monks that day to three miles away.

Therefore, I heard another burst of people shouting and neighing outside, and everyone in the store thought that it was another errand and returned to the house, and they didn't care.

Who knew that the person who entered the door was not an errand officer, but an official in a blue robe.

After the official entered the door, he laughed and said, "Lord Shaoqing is really here, but Su is so hard to find!" ”

"Huh?"

Sun Shaozong followed the prestige, and couldn't help but be a little taken aback, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and said in surprise: "How could Su Zhixian come here?" Could it be that he is looking for something to Sun? ”

But it turned out that the person who entered the door was Su Xingfang, who had been a county magistrate in Daxing County for a time, and later promoted to Wanpingzhi County.

When Sun Shaozong was an official in Shuntian Mansion, although he was not on good terms with Wang Qian of Daxingzhi County, he was quite a deed with this Su Xingfang.

"Sure enough, the nobleman forgets a lot."

Su Xingfang joked with a smile, and then said solemnly: "The lower official is here to return the errand to Lord Shaoqing - yesterday you sent someone to inform the county to check whether the monks everywhere have been lost, and the lower official did not dare to slack off, and ordered people to visit day and night, and indeed found a few monks whose whereabouts are unknown, so I came to report it." ”

It turned out to be for this.

At the beginning, Sun Shaozong really wanted the local government to help with the verification, but he was first pushed back by the Shuntian Mansion, and later found out that the two monks were actually Taoist priests pretending, so he left this stubble behind.

But he never thought that Su Xingfang would be so troublesome.

Sun Shaozong's heart warmed, and he arched his hand and said: "Duolao Suzhi County has helped - but now that some clues have just been found, the lost monks are cloudy, and there is no need to continue to visit for the time being." ”

"Is that so?"

Su Xing's face was bitter, but then he became excited: "You can't let me run for nothing, it just so happens that this neighborhood is also under the jurisdiction of my Daxing County, what do you have to say......

"Lord Shaoqing!"

As he was talking, a catcher rushed in from outside, and shouted excitedly: "The little ones found out the traces of the two monks near Anrenfang, and suddenly it was interrupted!" Continue to probe until the Dragon King Temple is close to the left, and no one has seen them again! ”

Anren Fang?

There seem to be quite a few alleys there, so it's a good place to start.

Sun Shaozong immediately waved his hand: "If Su Zhixian is interested, how about you and I go to Anrenfang together?" ”

"Therefore, I dare not ask for ears if I wish!" ()
