Suspect in Jinling

"What do you mean by guarding the yamen? Let Ying Tianfu and the Zhenfu Secretary arrest the followers of the Taiping Sect, and bring all those who embroidered with lotus flowers to justice?"

Kuang Jian looked at the newly issued copy, and a sense of absurdity rushed over her face.

The renovation of Doumu Temple was about to be completed, and he also took the time to go there a few times. As Sha Xiangyue said, it was full of poor people with nothing to do. He saw women carrying yarn into the market twice. Since then, I have seen the old lady lead a group of children to recite teachings and peel orchid beans three times.These people's eyes were dull and timid, and they went up to chat for a few words, and only then did they get a rough idea of ​​the twists and turns in their lives. They fled famine and came to Jinling, and they were taken in by the Taiping Church, so they temporarily settled here.

Kuang Jian put his own money into the merit box in the temple, Tan Zhu came out to record his name, he waved his hand, and left without a word.

He didn't ask those people why they went astray, and he didn't ask them if they knew that the Taiping Sect was opposed to the imperial court. Kuang Jian only saw that most of the Taiping Sect that he had hated for so long and regarded as his life-and-death enemy mostly looked like this face, he knew that there was no need to ask anything——

"The truly powerful characters in the Taiping Sect have unpredictable whereabouts and a whole set of identities that can never be detected." Kuang Jian nodded vigorously, "The direction of this investigation is correct, but such a big wave can't find any important leaders. Let those low-level people suffer for nothing."

However, the two major yamen of Yingtianfu Town's Fusi mobilized people just to deal with the poor people in the west of the city, and even Kuang Jian would feel bored.

Kuang Jian thought for a while, and discussed with the fourth master: "Otherwise, let's say hello to the town government secretary and ask them to investigate first. If we have any clues, let's follow up."

Fourth master shook his head: "No, since it means guarding the yamen, we must cooperate in place." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at Kuang Jian: "Do we have enough manpower?"

Kuang Jian raised his eyebrows, understood, and flipped out the duty book of the guards: "The manpower is not enough, there are only a few people in charge of general affairs... The theft case in the east of the city is guarding eight people, and the five transferred from Mawang Township are still in charge." I haven't come back, and the higher-ups in the east of the city have also greeted me, and there are still a few cases that cannot be withdrawn..."

The fourth master nodded seriously, expressing that he was very pleased, "Then first pass on the spiritual instructions of the superiors in this matter, let the little six lead the team, and you personally ask him to be serious and responsible."

Kuang Jian nodded: "Understood, I'll go and tell him." After finishing the case, she got up and went out.

"Also," Fourth Master folded his arms and leisurely leaned against his desk, "Let them take precautions in the west of the city, and ask Sha Xiangyue to help deliver a message at night."

Kuang Jianlue hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll go find Jin Chizi myself..."

Fourth Master leaned over, tapped his arm with a "slap", and asked with a smile, "Have you made up yet?"

Kuang Jian blinked, but remained silent as if she didn't understand.The fourth master looked at him and nodded lightly: "How many days has it been? You have been living in the yamen and never come home, and he has not come to see you. If you make a small fuss, you can just let it go and turn the page over." Come on, don't miss the point."

Kuang Jian's face wrinkled, and he resisted stubbornly: "Fourth Master..."

"Father!" Zuo Tui raised his tone, and raised his face pretending to be angry: "I don't care about your conflicts, solve them for me quickly, and set up one or two ladders for you, let you obey Why is it so difficult!" He pointed at the door unceremoniously: "Don't wait for the evening, just now, invite me over as soon as you finish your business, I will go to the east of the city for a meeting, I want to meet someone in the Yamen at noon!"

Kuang Jian was still in a daze when the first rank of the official was crushing people, but the fourth master had already expressed his instructions vigorously, and finally covered his head and face: "Okay, get out!"

"The structure and frame of Guiya is very good, and the old wood is also very strong. There is no need to open and close to rebuild, as long as the foundation is strengthened."

Kuang Jian took the order of the fourth master, and reluctantly went to the west of the city to lead the reluctant Sha Xiangyue back to Tianfu. The master Sha Jiang hung his arms coldly and explained the design drawings to him indifferently.

Yingtian Mansion covers an area of ​​more than 100 pings. It was first built in the period of Hongwu Lord. It has been nearly [-] years since it was fully occupied. This is the center of the standard Jinling Mansion City. People and vehicles are bustling day and night. Although the scale is not grand, its symbolic meaning is extraordinary. extraordinary.

"Renovations and repairs are mainly in several aspects, the most important thing is to prevent moisture. The height difference between the front, middle and back halls of Guiya is too obvious. It is necessary to increase the height of individual wooden sills, and the lower ones should be paved with base boards. Several important values The walls of the water room in the house need to be interlayered and filled with charcoal and straw mats...the rest is basic construction, painting the exterior walls, cleaning the underground drains, replacing old tiles with new tiles...if you rush to work day and night, it can be completed in seven days, considering The yamen is used for daytime work and moving, and the construction period is estimated to be [-] days. I can arrange for craftsmen, and I can find laborers, and it’s okay for Tianfu’s free messengers to report their courage..."

Sha Xiangyue looked like she was about to see through the world of mortals. The Dabaoen Temple next door was more emotional than him in chanting sutras. Kuang Jian looked at him irritably, "Did you not have lunch?"

This was originally a sarcasm, but Sha Xiangyue's eyelids rolled up, she didn't want to be alone with Kuang Jian and stood up for a moment: "That's right. Catcher Kuang, let's go together?"

Yingtianfu's dining hall is very big, and the fourth master has not come back yet, so Kuang Jian can only bite the bullet and accompany him.At this time, the peak of the meal time has passed, and there are only a dozen people in the dining hall. When Kuang Jian and Sha Xiangyue walked in together, the guards greeted Kuang Jian one after another. I have a good friend, a handsome young craftsman who loves to wear purple, Kuang Catcher is usually unsmiling, but the guards are very concerned about the private affairs of this elderly young man, as soon as they walked in, a dozen eyes locked on each other both of them.

As if Sha Xiangyue hadn't seen her, she found a clean dining table, wiped it with a rag, and spread out the rice paper. Kuang Jian ordered two meals and sat opposite him, and then no one ate seriously. Start stippling the design.

Kuang Jian: "The long window of the valet is not good, it looks unseemly from the outside, remove it."

Sha Xiangyue: "This is dedicated to lighting and ventilation. From the outside, there is only a narrow skylight under the eaves."

Kuang Jian: "No, it will affect the image."

Sha Xiangyue: "Then the roof should be opened for lighting."

Kuang Jian: "No, nursing care is too troublesome."

Sha Xiangyue: "Then it can only be built-in. This is a hollowed-out area, and the lighting area falls in the center of the value room."

Kuang Jian: "No, you have to be more regular."

Sha Xiangyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then I will discuss with you when I decide what is more suitable. What about here, the whitewashed wall here needs to be removed, and the shadow wall that obstructs the line of sight also needs to be removed, otherwise the police will make a detour like this on weekdays." It’s too troublesome, and it’s easy to cause a collision at the corner when taking a document.”

Kuang Jian: "No, the people in the yamen are already used to this route. If you suddenly change the route in the corridor behind, you will also have to change, and some people will not be used to it."

Sha Xiangyue: "The current line of action is unreasonable in the first place. As long as it is fixed, the police will not have to adapt for too long."

Kuang Jian raised her head and took a deep look at the person opposite: "Master Killer, we invite you to rebuild to make you adapt to Ying Tianfu, not to adapt Ying Tianfu to you."

Sha Xiangyue rolled her eyes indifferently: "If Catcher Kuang just thinks the old style is better, then it's fine to stick to the rules, why invite me here?"

Kuang Jian put on a straight face, and said displeasedly: "This matter is not complicated in the first place. If Master Killer had been a little bit more attentive and had come to Ying Tianfu to cooperate with us earlier, there would not have been so many differences today."

Sha Xiangyue had completely lost interest in arguing, put her chopsticks to the side of the bowl, and said softly "Oh", "Yes, it's all my fault, everything you do is justified by Catcher Kuang, just call me over." Come here, tell me to go over there, can I finish today's business? If you don't finish, please tell me straight up, what else does Catcher Kuang want me to change? What else do you want me to do for you? Express, see how you can use me to enjoy yourself!"

In an instant, the entire canteen held their breath at the same time, and couldn't help but turn to the two people in the corner in shock. The one who ate stopped his chopsticks, the one who talked closed his mouth, and the one who closed the market stopped... All of them were thinking about it quickly and unbelievably. Thinking deeply, isn't Catcher Kuang discussing the renovation of Xinya?How can a construction drawing lead to such a complicated problem?

"Little killer! Little killer, stay back!"

The fourth master just came back from the east of the city when he heard the news that Kuang Jian was arguing with Sha Xiangyue in the dining hall. A few hours ago, he had agreed to invite him back, but in the end Young Master Kuang invited him and left angrily. Fourth master was very helpless, so he could only come to mediate in person.

"Captain Kuang blamed me for not paying attention to things," Sha Xiangyue had calmed down at this time, without any resentment on her face, she just smiled at Fourth Master, "Maybe it's because I'm not good at learning, so I don't catch his eyes. Your company should hire another expert."

The fourth master looked at his face and approached him, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "What level are you? You can also repair the Fengxian Hall in Da Nei, and that kid Lu Ban is holding a big ax in front of the door, what does he know?"

Sha Xiangyue looked at Fourth Master, knew his intentions, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, Chengxi..."

"It has nothing to do with that," Fourth Master cut off his words, and said sincerely: "I'm here to persuade you privately, who is Kuang Jian, and is he good? You know better than me. Today he just got angry and talked messily." If you are not in the right mood, I will hold him to apologize on the day the work starts."

The fourth master looked at Chunchun with concern in his eyes, Sha Xiangyue frowned, and was in a daze for a while, not understanding why the older man in front of him wanted to defend himself like this, he nodded in a daze, and said hello following his words , Fourth Master immediately beamed with joy, smiling all over his face, he dragged the man to talk for a long time before letting him go back first, until the slender figure was no longer seen at the intersection, he suddenly turned around and entered the Yingtian mansion in a cold In the room, as soon as he entered the room, he stared at Kuang Jian coldly.
