Chapter 1 Li Yi and Chu Ping
In the third year of Kaibao in the early Song Dynasty, the southern city of Pingji County, Zhaozhou.
Outside a dilapidated brick and tile house, a young man in a constable suit smashed the door with a bang and shouted in a hurry: "Open the door! Open the door! Li Yi, open the door quickly! Don't hide inside and make no noise, I know you are at home!"
The door was opened soon, and behind it was a young man. He was handsome and had clear black eyes, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
This person is Li Yi.
Li Yi is not from this world, he is a criminal policeman from later generations. During a mission, he sacrificed his life to save the hostage and fought the criminals unfortunately, and unfortunately died. After waking up, he came here.
Looking at the eaves that were smashed to dust, Li Yi slanted the detective in anger and looked at him: "This door is older than your Chu Ping. Will you compensate if you break it?"
Chu Ping is the name of this constable.
Chu Ping was delighted when he saw him opening the door, but when he was about to pull him out, his brow frowned immediately.
Just because a strong stench exploded from Li Yi's body, Chu Ping's hand that stretched out retracted like an electric shock and hurriedly covered his nose.
"Wow! What do you think? You didn't have time to squat and collapsed in your pocket?" Chu Ping took two steps back, full of disgust.
Li Yi said "spray" and handed Chu Ping the left hand behind him. There was a plate containing food in his hand.
"Come on, try it." Li Yi said expressionlessly.
Chu Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at the plate. He saw a black ball of solid objects on it. He leaned over in confusion, but smelled a strong sour smell from it!
The smell was really high. As soon as he smelled it, his stomach juice surged and he couldn't stop retching.
When he raised his head again, Chu Ping looked shocked, as if he had seen a ghost: "Li Yi, are you seriously ill? Put your shit on the plate!"
Seeing his appearance as if he had never seen the world, Li Yi was both angry and funny, and scolded: "Homeboy! This is stinky tofu!"
After saying that, Li Yi picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth and started chewing it.
"Is this, tofu?" Chu Ping was stunned. He pinched his nose and frowned, glanced at Dianzi suspiciously, then glanced at Li Yi with a scrutiny look, and said, "Really? I don't believe it."
Although he had seen that thing looks a bit like tofu.
"If you don't believe it, you will be over." Li Yi took back the plate and raised his right hand and closed the door and saw the guests off.
"Hey, hey, don't! I have something to do, please!" Chu Ping hurriedly raised his hand to hold the two broken doors, and another rustling of dust fell from the eaves of the broken doors.
Li Yi handed over the plate again and said lightly: "Try it."
"No need..." Although this thing is probably tofu, Chu Ping still thinks it's unnecessary.
Li Yi made a closing statement again.
"Oh, don't!" Last month, Chu Ping met Li Yi through a "headless case". He knew that Li Yi was a master who would not give up until he achieved his goal. It was impossible to ask him for help and not give anything.
Chu Ping clenched his fists, thinking that as long as he broke the criminal case, he could make up for the missing position of the head arrester, and he didn't care about so much.
"Okay! I'm working hard!" With a cruel heart, Chu Ping pinched a small piece of tofu and threw it into his mouth. He didn't dare to chew it in one bite. He closed his eyes and held his breath, and stammered his neck and swallowed the stinky tofu whole.
After swallowing the stinky tofu in a dangerous way, Chu Ping said bitterly, "Good brother, is it okay now?"
Seeing Chu Ping obediently eating stinky tofu, Li Yi asked him with some anticipation: "How does it taste?"
Chu Ping was stunned: "Ah?"
Do you still have to taste it?
Seeing that he was stupid, Li Yi handed the plate over again: "Then why do you think I asked you to eat this stinky tofu?"
Chu Ping sighed, and had to hold his breath and take a small piece of tofu into his mouth.
"Huh?" This time Chu Ping did not dare to be perfunctory, frowned and chewed a few tentatively, and his expression changed from depression to doubt.
"How does it taste?" Li Yi asked.
"Well... how to say it, it's between delicious and unpalatable." Chu Ping nodded slightly, his eyes subtle.
Li Yi said: "Is that delicious or unpalatable?"
Chu Ping pondered for a moment and said confidently: "It's so unpalatable!"
Li Yi: “…”
Seeing that Li Yi's eyes were not very friendly, Chu Ping quickly said, "You can't say it's very unpalatable. Well, put the dogwood. Hehe, this stinky tofu is both sweet and spicy as tofu. It's pretty good overall. It's just... a bit bitter."
Li Yi smiled helplessly. Now it is the tenth year of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. Before the chili peppers can be heard, the stinky tofu naturally lacks the soul.
Although dogwood has a spicy taste, it also has a bitter taste. This bitter taste greatly affects the deliciousness of the stinky tofu itself and cannot replace the finishing touch of chili in the stinky tofu.
It is still a bit difficult to sell hot stinky tofu in this era.
Chu Ping rubbed his hands and laughed dryly: "Good brother, I've eaten too, you should help me."
Li Yi looked up and down at the detective for a few glances, and suddenly curled his lips and said, "I just asked you to taste it, it would be nice if I didn't ask you to pay. Why, do you still want me to serve you in vain?"
Chu Ping raised his big hands: "Of course it was not for nothing. Do you still remember the storefront you mentioned last time? I have already won it for you, it only costs fifteen taels a year!"
Li Yi was only showing off his appearance, and he could still afford to pay 15 taels of silver. In this way, there was a shop selling stinky tofu.
In the second month after he arrived in this world, he finally had a living to supplement his family's income.
"Since there is a reward, I will help you again." Li Yi smiled happily.
Chu Ping supported his waist: "Hehe, aren't you the best reasoning? Can you reason why I'm looking for you? "
Li Yi was slightly stunned: "Are you sure you want me to say it?"
"Tell me, let me see how good you are."
Li Yi took a deep breath, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw Chu Ping from above...
After a moment, Li Yi smiled and said confidently: "You came to Nancheng from the yamen to look for me, but before that, you should have gone to find Widow Zhang from Xicheng early in the morning. Why, between you and Widow Zhang, a life happened?"
After hearing Li Yi's words, Chu Ping's eyes suddenly widened, obviously shocked.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then he felt relieved: "How do you... know, between me and Widow Zhang?"
Chu Ping was very surprised. He had been hooking up with Widow Zhang for a few days, and the love affair was in full swing. He didn't even tell me how Li Yi knew about this?!
"Guess." Li Yi said casually.
Chu Ping didn't believe it. His eyes turned sharp and he said in a low voice: "Tell me quickly, where did you see it! Are you following me?!"
Li Yi said "tsk" and looked at Chu Ping's neck, and said slowly: "Your clothes are messy, your middle clothes are not worn, and there is a red mark on the inside of your neck. It is obvious that you did a good thing not long ago."
When Chu Ping heard this, he panicked and quickly lowered his head and looked at his neck, and found that there was indeed a bright red mark there, which was sucked by Widow Zhang, who was like a wolf and a tiger not long ago!
Chu Ping's face turned red immediately. He covered his clothes and felt a little embarrassed. He asked Qi, "How do you know that I was doing it with Xiaoyue... with Widow Zhang?"
Li Yi pointed to Chu Ping's shoes again and said with a smile: "The mortar stained on your boots is still fresh, and it should be only half an hour since you stepped on it. Pingji County is only building roads in Xicheng, and you must take that road to Xicheng. What you stick to is the mortar for building roads there. And Widow Zhang's home is in Xicheng."
Chu Ping nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He did go to Widow Zhang's house this morning, then to the yamen, and finally came to find Li Yi.
This era is in a chaotic era. The legacy of the Tang Dynasty is still prosperous and the people are more open. It is not a taboo to do fun things between men and women. There are many people who write poems about sexual intercourse.
For example, at this time, the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu, wrote a wonderful poem about having an affair with the Queen of Zhou; Han Xizai, a famous minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, not only used a concubine to serve the guests at the banquet, but also used a ruler to measure the length of the guests' work!
Chu Ping is not married yet, and it is nothing to hook up with a single widowed woman, so after being discovered by Li Yi, he was just a little embarrassed and didn't feel particularly embarrassed.
After all, she has become a widow, so she can no longer let her live a widow!
"Widow Zhang does live in Xicheng, but it's not certain that the one who is with me is Widow Zhang? It may also be Widow Wang and Widow Li in Xicheng!" Chu Ping said dissatisfied.
After hearing Chu Ping say this, Li Yi was stunned and said, "It's amazing! Have you succeeded those two chaste women? I don't see this. You guys taste quite strong."
Li Yi was really shocked by Chu Ping. He had also seen Widow Wang and Widow Li. From his perspective, one looked like Zhang Fei and the other was like Li Kui. Chu Ping was able to speak, and his mentality was really beautiful.
Chu Ping blushed and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, just Xiao Yue, I'll just say it casually..."
Li Yi smiled, then gently sniffed the air with his hand to smell it, and explained: "The reason why I confirm that it is Widow Zhang is naturally the smell! The smell of rose powder on your body is too choking, even the smell of stinky tofu is covered. I have only smelled this smell on Widow Zhang."
Chu Ping suddenly realized that when he went to meet Widow Zhang this morning, the stupid girl said that she accidentally knocked over the powder box, making the whole house smell like powder. When he entered the house, he was also choked by the strong smell.
At first, he also felt that the smell was so sensible, but after holding it for a while, he didn't care. Instead, he combined the sentence "I'll get into the abalone store and I won't smell it for a long time."
"So that's it. When these small clues are connected, you will come to the conclusion that I came from Widow Zhang. It's so amazing! It's so amazing!" Chu Ping's pair of fists and palms, sincerely praised.
Li Yi nodded slightly. In fact, if the reasoning is directly derived, it may be incredible. But if the reasoning details are displayed one by one, it will appear normal and reasonable again.
Chu Ping was very surprised. Li Yi was indeed smart. With the help of this smart Li Yi, the strange case in his hand would definitely be solved in one fell swoop!
"Hey! It's not right!!!"
