Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

Chenzhou is located a hundred miles northwest of Bianliang, Tokyo, close to the border of the country.And this drought and natural disasters are only secondary, and man-made disasters are the major ones.In Chenzhou, there is a No. [-] emperor, An Lehou, the only son of Pang Ji, the grand master of the current dynasty, and Pang Yu, the great uncle of the current dynasty.

This Pang Yu is domineering here in Chenzhou, seizing land and oppressing the people. Although the people in Chenzhou hate him very much, they dare not speak out because of Pang Yu's status as an uncle of a great country. Officials, big and small, even flattered Pang Yu and obeyed.

At this time, just before noon, three brown horses came hastily on Dongmen Street in Chenzhou Mansion, and two horses sat on each of the two horses in front.One of them was dressed in a blue shirt, bright and starry, handsome and elegant, with a straight waist and an ancient sword with yellow tassels on his waist; Less than five steps away from the two of them, a tall brown horse followed, but on top of this horse was not one person, but a pair of short-breasted teenagers of similar age.The man sitting in front, holding a whip in his hand, has a fair complexion with a slightly tired expression; the man behind him is thin, with a round face and thin eyes, pale complexion, staggering on the horse, barely on the verge of falling.

These three steeds, two in front and one behind, walked on the main street of Dongmen, they were very conspicuous, attracting the attention of passers-by on the road.

The young man in the blue shirt at the front, looked while walking, frowned slightly, and said in his heart: It is said that there is a severe drought in Chenzhou, and countless people died of starvation, but judging from the scene on the street at this time, there seems to be nothing wrong.

I saw that on this street, there are many shops, hawkers walking, and people all over the street. Although it is not as prosperous as Tokyo, it is no different from that ordinary state capital.But looking more closely, although the men, women and children on the street behaved undoubtedly, their expressions were a little weird and slightly sad.

The young man in blue grabbed the reins, turned over and jumped off the horse, stopped a young commoner, and asked with a little salute: "This little brother, may I ask..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the young man wave his hand suddenly, shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I, I don't know anything."

Before the words fell, he turned his head and ran away from this place, as if there was a scourge behind him.

The blue-shirted youth couldn't help being a little surprised.But seeing the black-faced man on the horse behind him turn over and get off the horse, walked to the side of the young man, respectfully, lowered his voice and said: "Lord Zhan, this is?"

The blue-shirted youth waved his hand and stopped another commoner, but before he could ask any questions this time, the commoner kept shaking his head and hurried away, leaving the two people in a daze.

Seeing this, the person sitting in front of the third horse also jumped off the saddle and walked to the side of the two with doubts on his face.Only the boy with the slender eyes at the end didn't move, just climbed on the horse as if his bones had been pulled out, and said weakly: "My lords, if you don't mind, can we go to the restaurant first?" Rest?"

"Jin Qian!" The black-faced man said displeasedly: "Did you cause us too little trouble this way? It's only a few miles away, and it's so unbearable?"

The white and clean young man on the side also said: "Brother Zhang is right, a dignified Kaifeng government official can't ride a horse, and is so weak, I really don't know how you can be promoted to a fast arrester?"

Jin Qian climbed on the horse's back, rolled his eyes violently in his heart, and thought:

NND, don't know how to ride a horse, what's so strange?How can we, a dignified modern person, have the opportunity to come into contact with such an inefficient transportation method of horses? Tsk tsk, this horse riding requires not only technical indicators, physical strength indicators, but also endurance skinning indicators-whoever has the best riding skills means who The buttocks have the thickest skin... My boy, this is killing our buttocks...

Zhan Zhao glanced at Jin Qian's face, sighed slightly, and said, "I might as well go to the restaurant to rest for a while, so I can find out the news."

"Master Zhan has an excellent opinion." Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately said in unison.

Jin Qian coughed dryly twice.

The three of them led the horses and walked forward for a while. After a while, they saw a three-storey restaurant with cornices and pillars, which was magnificent. A golden signboard hung in the middle of the gate, with three big characters "Yulelou" engraved on it.This restaurant is so grand, it is a bit out of place to stand on this ordinary street.

The three of them looked at each other silently, and then led the horses to the front of the restaurant. When the restaurant waiter saw him, he hurried out to say hello: "Yo, three masters, you came from afar, please come inside, please come inside."

Before the words fell, a voice came from the horse's back faintly: "It's the four masters..."

Xiao Er was taken aback, and after taking a closer look, he saw a thin young man climbing off the horse like a snail, and walking slowly to the door of the restaurant.

That Xiao Er was also clever, and immediately changed his words: "Yo, my eyes are clumsy, I didn't see the uncle, please come inside."

The corners of Zhang Long's and Zhao Hu's mouths twitched upwards, and they raised their eyebrows in silence.Seeing this, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to say, "Second brother, take these three horses down, just some fodder."

Xiao Er immediately agreed, called the groom to take the horse away, and brought the three of them to the second floor of the restaurant.

Although it was already noon at this time, there were only a few customers in this Nuo Da restaurant, and they were scattered around, the situation was very depressed.

The four of them sat in the southeast corner, right by the window, with the breeze blowing, but they felt at ease.

"Masters, you look strange, this is your first time here in Chenzhou." Xiaoer asked while wiping the table.

Zhan Zhao didn't answer when he heard the words, but just glanced at Xiao Er silently, and then slowly replied: "Xiao Er has good eyesight, the four of us are passing by here as merchants, and want to find a place to rest. Does Xiao Er know Is there a hotel nearby?"

After finishing speaking, he took out a few copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table.

"Yes, of course." When Xiaoer saw Qiancai, he immediately replied with a smile on his face: "At the end of this street, there is a Yule Inn, and the environment is not bad."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and asked again: "I don't know if I'm going at this time, is there any room left?"

"My lord, please rest assured that there will definitely be rooms available. This Chenzhou is no different than other places. Business people rarely pass by, and the inn naturally has fewer customers."

"People who do business rarely pass by, why?"

Hearing this, Xiao Er couldn't help being a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "My lord, whether you really don't know or if you don't know, how can there be traders in Chenzhou now, even if there are traders willing to come, I'm afraid it's too late." Those who trade in coffins."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

Zhao Hu blurted out and asked, "Coffin?"

Xiao Er suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Masters, what do you want?"

"Second Brother, let's figure it out, just have a few signature side dishes." Zhan Zhao said gently.

After Xiao Er left, Zhang Long lowered his voice and said, "Master Zhan, do you feel that everything in Chenzhou is strange?"

Zhan Zhao sipped his tea with downcast eyes, then paused and said, "Zhan also thinks something is wrong."

Zhao Hu said anxiously: "Lord Zhan, where do you think we should investigate the case?"

Zhang Longyan stared and said: "Naturally, it should start from that Zhang Songde's house, Mr. Zhan, do you think so?"

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Jin Qian who rested his chin on the edge of the table, and asked, "Jin Qian, do you have an idea?"

Jin Qian was starved to death, suddenly heard Zhan Zhao's question, and felt four fiery eyes staring at him, quickly pulled himself together, straightened up and replied: "I think we should start with this restaurant."

The other three were all taken aback.

Zhang Long asked in a deep voice, "Why did Jin Qian make such nonsense?"

Jin Qian glanced at Zhang Long, and thought to himself: Nonsense, if you don’t say that, this group of very dedicated guys will definitely turn over every inch of land in Chenzhou, including Zhang Songde’s home. At that time, don’t we want to Encountered in the center of the fish pond, exhausted to death?Or it is safer to start the investigation from here, at least you can get a few moments of rest.

Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't vent my mouth.Jin Qian's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea, and said, "According to what Zhang Fusong said, apart from a few prescriptions, most of the proof of Songde's innocence was based on his judgment of his young master's character. That Zhang Fusong kept saying Zhang Songde is like a gentleman, it is impossible for him to commit adultery and murder, but this statement is only made by him, how can we rely on it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the three of them couldn't help being a little surprised, but they couldn't help but ask Zhao Hu unwillingly: "Even so, can this restaurant be able to find clues?"

Jin Qian raised his eyebrows and said: "Zhang Songde is a doctor of Chenzhou, but now he is imprisoned. Naturally, the people of Chenzhou are talking about this matter. This restaurant is a place where people flow and the news is the best. Wait here Here, we will definitely be able to find clues about Zhang Songde's case, and maybe we can judge Zhang Songde's character from the people's speech."

"Then what if the facts of the case cannot be ascertained?" Zhao Hu also asked.

Jin Qian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then we have to visit the prison at night and ask that Zhang Songde."

After hearing this, the three of them remained silent.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu secretly refused to accept it, but they were speechless for a while.Zhan Zhao, on the other hand, nodded secretly with a look of praise.

When the food was ready, everyone ate their meals in silence, but unconsciously, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the words of the people around them. Only Jin Qian was the only one who concentrated on the food in front of him.

However, the restaurant has a large area, few customers, and the seats are relatively scattered. Several people listened for a long time, but they didn't gain anything.Just when everyone was a little anxious, they suddenly heard the waiter downstairs shouting loudly: "Yo, Master Pang, you are here, please come inside, your special table has been prepared for you."

Following Xiao Er's call, a group of people came up the stairs, Xiao Er led the way, and five or six people followed behind.The leader is over ten feet tall, wearing a brocade robe, a pair of black leather boots under his feet, a big pancake face, splayed eyebrows, squinted eyes, a distilled nose like a jujube hanging in the center of his face, with a grasshopper belly on his head, wobbling up and down. On the second floor, sit next to Zhan Zhao's table.

The five people behind him were all dressed as domestic servants and stood respectfully by the table.

"Master Pang, what do you want to have today?"

Master Pang laughed, showing his yellow teeth, and said, "Let's have a table as usual."

"Okay!" Xiao Er responded and ran down.

Mr. Pang was sitting at the table, looking very bored, looking around, he caught a glimpse of Zhan Zhao's people at the table.

He got up slowly, staggered to the table of Zhan Zhao and his party, looked him up and down a few times, and asked, "You guys, it looks a bit strange, where did it come from?"

As soon as Zhang Long saw this man's virtue, he couldn't bear it very much, and without realizing it, he got angry: "Where does the uncle come from, it's not up to you to care."

"What?" Master Pang's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly, "You dare to talk to me like that, do you know who I am?"

Zhang Long snorted coldly: "I don't care who you are?"

"Presumptuous!" A servant next to Master Pang shouted: "This is the big housekeeper of our Lord Hou's mansion, who was given the family name by An Lehou—Butler Pang! You guys who don't understand the rules, don't Hurry up and call him Grandpa?!"

As soon as Jin Qian listened to the Coke, he almost spit out all the rice in his mouth, and thought: Master Pang?It's still fat!

Zhang Long didn't have this sense of humor, so he stood up abruptly and shouted, "He's just a housekeeper for the Pang family, how could he be so arrogant?"

"What?" The servants around Pang Da immediately gathered together and surrounded Zhang Long, all of them looked fierce.Zhang Long was also unambiguous, clenched his fists, and was about to start a fight, Zhan Zhao who was sitting beside him suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Master Pang, I'm just a businessman passing by here, I don't know the rules, please forgive me. "

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were taken aback, not to mention Pang Da and his party, while Jin Qian hurriedly served tea to comfort himself.

Pang Da was stunned for a moment, and fixed his eyes on the person in front of him.

I saw this young man with bright eyebrows and star eyes like black diamonds, a body like a green pine standing in the sky, a man as stable as a mountain and sinking like an ocean, and his sword tassels are affectionate from the wind.

Da Pang stared blankly for a long time, then he suddenly took out a folding fan from nowhere, unfolded it with a snap, moved to Zhan Zhao's side with an ambiguous expression, and asked, "Brother, are you interested in going to Hou Ye's mansion?" A visit?"

"puff……"

A stream of tea mixed with rice grains was sprayed from Jin Qian's mouth onto Pang Huo's face.

Look at the huge rice grains all over his face, tick-tock dripping down his face, his expression is very funny.

However, Jin Qian couldn't laugh at this time, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu couldn't laugh either, and they couldn't get angry, and the Da Da group didn't show any angry expressions.At this time, everyone had only one expression - panic.

Wearing a pure plain blue gown, usually peaceful and quiet, but at this time, it is like the cloudy sky before the storm, churning endlessly; the lips that are always moist and moist have also turned into The color of cyan, with streaks of blue veins, covered the back of the hand holding the sword, making the scabbard crackle.

Everyone felt a gust of wind blowing in front of their eyes, and a blue shadow flashed like lightning. When they came back to their senses, Pang Da was already in the shape of a big character, his eyes turned white, and he lay flat on the spot, motionless.

A silence.

Suddenly, a servant yelled: "Help, Master Pang has been killed!"

After that, one after another, the shouts sounded.

"Master Pang, Master Pang..."

"Where is the person coming, who is the reporter..."

……

The scene was chaotic, but Jin Qian, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu just stood there in a daze, staring at the terrifying blue figure in front of them, considering whether to step forward.

When everyone was in a dilemma, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps on the stairs, and several government servants in official uniforms ran up and shouted loudly: "Who, who wants to report to the officials?"

One of the Yamen's servants had sharp eyes and saw Pang Da lying on the ground at a glance. He panicked and shouted loudly: "Who, who the hell hurt Pang Da?"

When the servants saw the officials, they ran over as if they were their own family members. They all pointed at Zhan Zhao and his party, and said in unison: "It's them!"

The Yacha Hula surrounded him all at once.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Qian was about to apply oil on the soles of his feet when he suddenly felt that his feet were stiff and he couldn't even move half a step.

Jin Qian was startled and looked at Zhan Zhao suddenly.I saw that the cat didn't have any trace of anger, it was still a refined and gentle Nan Xia, but there was a trace of triumph between its brows.

Jin Qian suddenly groaned secretly in his heart, he could only watch Zhang Long and Zhao Hu display their supernatural power, rush out of the encirclement, and kill a bloody road to get out.And I, who was unable to move after being acupunctured, and the cat who showed no sign of resistance were dragged out of the restaurant by a group of arresters, and it was obvious that the destination was the government prison.

Of course, Jin Qian did not ignore Zhan Zhao, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu's look at each other before leaving, which has a deep meaning.
