Cute Lolita Climbing the Rivers and Lakes [Comprehensive + Sword Three]

The traitor in black was killed overnight, and the case was handed over to Zeng Tai to submit a letter to the court to report the details.

Di Renjie planned to bring Li Yuanfang and others back to his hometown and Bingzhou to cultivate, but the emperor's angel chased him all the way to Liangzhou, urgently calling Di Renjie back to Beijing.As a result, Di Renjie's plan to return to his hometown was shelved again, and he diverted to the capital.

"Your Majesty finally allowed Your Excellency to return to his hometown to recuperate, and now he is in a hurry to call him back to Beijing. I'm afraid there may be another big case in Beijing." Seeing Di Renjie in a daze with the imperial edict, Li Yuanfang said casually.

Di Renjie put down the imperial decree and slapped his back: "I'm really old, I get tired after standing for a while."

"Grandpa, you didn't stand for a while, you stood for an hour. Children will get tired after standing for a long time, it's not a matter of age." Ye Mingfei sat on a chair and peeled walnuts with bare hands.When the two thin white little fingers squeezed, the hard walnut was crushed to pieces.

Di Renjie smiled, and said to Li Yuanfang: "When you return to Beijing tomorrow, how are you packing your luggage?"

"I didn't bring a lot of things at first, but Xiao Fei bought some special products and planned to take them back to give to the elders and wives. Di Chun took care of everything." Li Yuanfang thought for a while, "We went to Liangzhou to handle the case. , and now I’m going back to Beijing just after work, and I’m going to see Brother Zeng, but I don’t have time to sit down and have a good talk. Tonight, Brother Zeng personally prepared the food and drinks, and I’m here to welcome the distinguished guests on his behalf!”

At this dinner party, Zeng Tai arranged Liangzhou Governor Shi to accompany him, and he fulfilled his promise to introduce his mentor to him.After a short reunion, they were separated again, Zeng Tai was quite reluctant.However, Di Renjie and his party had to go on their way the next day, and everyone only had a few drinks at the dinner party.

The journey back to Beijing was extremely peaceful, and when we arrived in Beijing, it happened to coincide with the Dragon Boat Festival.Seeing the excitement on the street, Di Renjie was not in a hurry to meet the king, and asked Di Chun to return to the mansion with his entourage, while he, Li Yuanfang, Di Ruyan and Ye Mingfei walked slowly on the street, having fun with the people.

When he came across a stall selling fried spring rolls on the road, Di Renjie yelled to try it.It's okay to try it, but I just fried one for each person, showing my true nature, and Li Yuanfang was so angry that he insisted on frying a big plate.Di Ruyan and Ye Mingfei had long been used to Di Renjie's "stingy" and Li Yuanfang's anti-stingy, so they just smiled and didn't get involved.

Looking at the festive atmosphere on the street, Ye Mingfei said with emotion: "Grandpa, Uncle Yuanfang, you are so kind!"

Di Ruyan smiled and said, "What is too good?"

Ye Mingfei pointed to the jubilant people on the street and said: "This is a peaceful and prosperous world that Grandpa and Uncle Yuanfang participated in building! The world is peaceful, it's great—"

"Please, please, give me a little charity!"

Before Ye Mingfei finished speaking, he saw a bearded man holding a little girl and leading a few companions begging along the street, and suddenly felt that the slap in the face was too fast.

The boss said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go! I'm just a small business, how can I stand up to you asking for it every day? It's my fault if I don't give it to you for the first time, but you come here every day, who can bear it. "

"Boss, please do me a favor!"

"Daddy, I'm hungry!" the little girl looked at the fried spring rolls on the plate and whispered.

Ye Mingfei saw that the little girl was pale and thin, and she couldn't bear it: "Boss, you give our spring rolls to this little girl first, and then fry some for us!"

"Old customer, what do you think?" Seeing that Ye Mingfei was young, the boss quickly looked at Di Renjie.

"Listen to her, it's okay if we eat later." Di Renjie said with a smile.

"Okay! The guests are all well-meaning people, and they are also poor people. It's just that I come every day, and I really can't afford to give alms to this small business."

"Thank you, master, thank you, master!" The man hurriedly put down his daughter and asked her to thank her.The little girl thanked her timidly, which made people feel pity.

Ye Mingfei asked casually: "Uncle, I see that you have black and red faces and calloused hands. You probably came from coolies. You are young and healthy, and it is not difficult to find a job. Why did you fall into such a state?" Get together and beg for a living?"

"This, this is truly indescribable!"

"I know some people in Beijing. If you are willing, I can introduce you to a place to find a job. It is better than begging on the street with your children."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. We only came to the capital to file a complaint. Now that we have nowhere to file a complaint, we have exhausted all our money, so we have no choice but to go begging on the street."

Hearing that there is no way to complain, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang both paid attention, and Di Ruyan asked, "What are you going to sue? Could it be that you just came to the capital and don't know where the yamen is?"

Just at this time, there was the sound of gongs beating to clear the way from the street, and it was unknown which adult's official sedan chair was passing by.

The bearded man's companion immediately said: "Brother Fang Jiu, here we come!"

Fang Jiu immediately handed his daughter to a fellow villager, took out the pleading paper from his bosom, raised his hands over his head, rushed out and knelt in front of the sedan chair to cry for grievances.The official sedan stopped, took the pleading papers from left and right and sent them into the sedan chair. The people in the sedan chair saw it but threw out the pleading papers and reprimanded Fang Jiu.

Ye Mingfei stepped forward quickly, picked up the pleading paper and glanced at the ten lines: "Oh, it turns out that Yangzhou fiber households sued the Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen? General yamen dare not accept such things as people suing officials, after all, officials and officials protect each other!"

Hearing the last protracted sarcasm, the official's entourage started to scold.It might as well be that the chief official of his family rebuked him, walked out of the sedan chair, bowed and said: "It turns out to be Miss Ye, who is ignorant, please forgive me. Miss Ye returned to Beijing, could it be that the old man—"

"Grandpa returned to Beijing by order, and I came to play in the street." Ye Mingfei said quickly, "If you don't accept this paper, I will take it away."

The official said with a wry smile: "Miss Ye first came back to the capital. I'm afraid she doesn't know the inside story about some things. It's not that the lower officials don't want to take care of them. In the hands of Ge Lao, it can be regarded as the luck of these slender households."

"You seem to know something inside?"

"In short, the girl will soon find out that the official still has official duties, so I will leave first." Before the man left, he glanced at Fang Jiu and said, "Fang Jiu, your luck has come, follow this Miss Ye, She can do justice for you."

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang sat on the side of the street and watched the whole process. Li Yuanfang took a look at Di Renjie and laughed loudly: "Sure enough, my granddaughter is caring. Xiaofei knows your old love, so I won't take the initiative to trouble you. Haha~"

Di Renjie couldn't help laughing: "Now the little ones know how to find trouble for me!"

While joking, Ye Mingfei had brought Fang Jiu back to the stall: "Grandpa, I'm not doing this for you. Right now, I think His Majesty is really wise."

"Oh, where did you say that?"

"Your Majesty knows your ability and knows that you will take care of things, so I appointed you to be the prime minister. You said that if your majesty is like that lord just now, if he runs away when he sees trouble, he still needs to think of a high-sounding reason. If you don't want to take care of things, how can there be peace and prosperity?"

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister?" Fang Jiu followed Ye Mingfei, feeling his legs go weak.

"No hurry, please sit down!" Fang Jiu sat opposite Di Renjie, and Ye Mingfei handed the pleading paper to Di Renjie.

After reading the pleadings, Di Renjie looked a little solemn, and asked Fang Jiu many details.While Di Renjie was having a conversation with Fang Jiu, Ye Mingfei invited other people to sit at the next table, asked the boss to fry more spring rolls, and asked the stall next door to bring over some food.

Fang Jiu's matter is complicated or not, but simple or not, they are all small households.The so-called fiber households are the people on both sides of the canal who pull fiber and dredge the river when the boats are going against the current.They have no land, and they usually live by guarding the grain.

According to Fang Jiu, since two years ago, strange things have happened frequently on the canal, and all salt ships will capsize as long as they pass through Hangou.After the boat capsized, none of the people on board survived, and even the salt on board disappeared.The investigation by the imperial court was fruitless, and the Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen decided that the small households were thieves in partnership.

Tenant households have no land, and they can only do odd jobs to make ends meet if they stop paying their wages.Fang Jiu was doing odd jobs at the dock, and met a literate man who taught them to go to Beijing to sue.They collected money and asked someone to write a pleading paper and go to Beijing to file a complaint.It's just that no one dared to pick up this paper wherever it was sent, and the better ones just sent people out.

After hearing the passage, Di Renjie's eyes showed a few gleams: "Is it only the salt boats that are transshipment in the Huaihe River that capsize?"

"You always mean it, exactly."

"The slender households have access to water. If they have the ability to dig through the salt ship and take away the goods on board, it is possible, but how do they know when the salt ship passes through Hangou? To complete this case, there must be an internal response from the government, Wulin A master and a water ghost who is proficient in water."

"Oh, you think this is a man-made disaster?"

"Grandpa, it was only the salt boat that capsized, so there are only two possibilities: first, Hangou is haunted; second, it's either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, which one do you believe?"

Di Renjie laughed.

"The salt boat was the only one that overturned. To do this case, three elements are required: first, to know the time when the salt boat arrived in Hangou, which is only known by the Lianghuai Transshipment and Water Transport Yamen responsible for transshipment of salt, so there must be an inner ghost; second , the salt boat had escort officers and officers and soldiers, and since all the officers and soldiers on board were killed, there must have been experts to help; third, after the salt boat capsized, the salt was lost, and even a sack was not recovered, which proves that the salt is not soluble in water, but It was snatched away by a water ghost who is proficient in water and chiseled a boat."

"The second one, why do you have to be a martial arts master?"

"If there were not many escorts on the salt ship at the beginning, then after repeated capsizing, there would be more escort officers and soldiers. To kill so many escort officers and soldiers without leaving any survivors, there must be well-equipped soldiers far superior to them, or It means that there is a group of martial arts masters who are one against a hundred. If the number wins and there are too many people, it is difficult for the large group of people to hide their whereabouts, so it should be the latter."

Di Renjie nodded.

"The other thing is that the case has not been solved for two years. There must be someone in Beijing, and Yangzhou's officialdom must have become a sieve."
