Volume 1: Linzhou Talent Case Chapter 27: Returning to Liaoyi Lane
"Haha..." Duan Ming looked at the white silver in Hu Wei's hand and curled his lips: "Don't hold back. If you have anything else to say about this piece of silver, let's talk about it together."
"As expected of Mr. Duan, he even guessed this." Hu Wei said with a smile: "Commander Xing also said that you are not from the Mingjing Division, so your expenses at Lao Wu's and your stay at Rendetang
You also need to bear the expenses yourself.”
"This one will kill you with a thousand swords!" Upon hearing this, Duan Ming was furious. He even admitted the expenses incurred by Yu Laowu, but how could the expenses for medical treatment at Rendetang be counted towards him?
On your body?
"Including your food, clothing, housing and transportation during this period, all expenses are your own business." Hu Wei continued: "By the way, there is also the rental fee of this yard. I won't charge you more. For such a big yard, I will charge you for one day.
Ten cents..."
"Go away!" Duan Ming waved his hands repeatedly: "I shouldn't have anything to do with your Mirror Division!"
"To sum up, your ingot of silver is barely enough. Commander Xing said that you have worked hard, so I just let it go." Hu Wei was not moved at all and continued: "Of course, if you join our Mirror Division,
All these things before are considered as the internal expenses of our Mirror Department, and the money is yours."
"Okay, so you are waiting for me here." Duan Ming sneered: "If you don't do it, even if you kill me with a knife now, I won't do it!"
Then Duan Ming waved his hand: "Get out, get out! I want to change my clothes! Then leave this hellish place of yours quickly, lest you charge me any more detention fees later!"
"Mr. Duan, don't worry!" Seeing Duan Ming like this, Hu Wei hurriedly said with a smile: "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Hu Wei, let me tell you, your Mirror Division, don't go too far!" Duan Ming frowned and said: "What's the matter, I worked so hard to help your Mirror Division solve a case, and you want me to do the opposite? Impossible!
"
"This time, if I fall into the hands of your Mirror Division, I will admit defeat! My honor as a lame old man in Nancheng has been ruined in your hands!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Hu Wei waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Duan, what I said before is indeed not a problem. But as I said before, public is public and private is private. Now that the official business is over, it's time to talk about private matters.
.”
"Oh?" Duan Ming's eyes lit up. Could it be that there is room for improvement in this matter?
Even Duan Ming couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought of all the money he spent in vain.
You must know that Duan Ming lives in Luoyi Alley not because he really doesn't love money, but because he is afraid of trouble and that too many things will delay his time to study "The Lament of Immortality".
Now if I can make a lot of money here and live a well-off life from now on, that would undoubtedly be the best.
"Mr. Duan, please follow me." Hu Wei turned sideways and pointed outside.
Duan Ming walked out suspiciously, but then he was stunned.
In the courtyard outside, I saw rows of Mingjing officials standing neatly. At a glance, everyone except Xing Qianqiu was here.
"Mr. Duan." Hu Wei said in a deep voice: "Our criminal commander said that this time you are not afraid of hardships. In order to help us solve the case, you have been involved in danger many times and your life has been in danger several times. This is how this strange case was solved and we and others were able to solve it."
To be protected from the emperor's thunderous wrath is such a great favor that we at the Mirror will never forget."
"Thank you, Mr. Duan!" All the Mirror officers said to Duan Ming at the same time, clasping their fists.
"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Duan Ming waved his hands repeatedly.
"Mr. Duan, this kindness cannot be measured in gold and silver. We will bear it in our hearts and never forget it. If we are asked to do anything in the future, we will do it according to our ability." Hu Wei said again.
"Ah, okay, okay!" Duan Ming smiled and nodded, but then he was stunned: "Wait a minute, you said 'act within your ability'? Not 'go all out'? Or 'go through fire and water, no matter what'"
?”
"This is natural." Hu Wei nodded: "Is there any problem?"
"It's nothing, this is good." Duan Ming shook his head.
He had no intention of having anything to do with the Mirror Division, so it didn't matter whether he "acted according to his ability" or "went through fire and water". It was just that his sudden statement was a bit unexpected.
What's more, as the Mirror Department is an important department of the Daqi Dynasty, how can it be allowed to be dispatched by him?
On the contrary, "act according to your ability" is more reliable.
"By the way, Commander Xing also said that Mr. Duan is an upright and upright man, and he is an extraordinary person. We can't insult Mr. Duan's integrity with the smell of copper, so we don't need gold or silver to express our gratitude." Hu Wei said again.
"I..." Duan Ming's mouth twitched slightly.
"But please rest assured, Mr. Duan, Commander Xing assures you that he will personally go to the Director of the Shipping Department, and your friend Sun Wu will definitely get his wish." Hu Wei said in a deep voice: "As for his enemies you are worried about,
There’s no need to worry. Even if those people deal with you, they won’t deal with a small boatman from the Shipping Department.”
"Haha, thank you..." Duan Ming didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He was not sure whether the case could really be solved before, so he was naturally worried that Xing Qianqiu's enemies would take action against Sun Wu.
After all, if the case is not solved and the Mirror Department accepts the emperor's thunderous wrath, Xing Qianqiu, who will bear the brunt, will definitely be severely punished.
At that time, his enemies in the court will definitely try their best to criticize him, and Sun Wu will most likely be implicated.
And now Xing Qianqiu has successfully solved the case. Even though it was Liu Zhi, a colleague of the Mirror Division, in the final analysis Xing Qianqiu will only be charged with a small crime of "unknown people", which is nothing compared to solving strange cases.
Xing Qianqiu's status will only rise instead of falling, and those people will naturally not stand out too much. Sun Wu will naturally have no worries.
As for what problems Xing Qianqiu will have in the future, as long as he doesn't pay too much attention to Sun Wu, then who will remember this boatman who was helped a little by Xing Qianqiu?
However, it is obvious that he is the one who is going through life and death, so why did Sun Wu have to choose where to go?
Even with Duan Ming's wisdom, he is still puzzled by this.
Soon, Duan Ming refused the farewell offer from the Mingjing Division, and everyone who said goodbye with their parcels left the Mingjing Division and headed for Luoyi Alley.
At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun was spreading on the road in front of Duan Ming, filled with golden light.
In the Mirror Division, Xing Qianqiu stood in the room, looking through the window at Duan Ming who was slowly leaving.
"Master Xing, why don't you keep him?" Xu Shizhong stood behind Xing Qianqiu and asked in a deep voice.
Xing Qianqiu smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.
Looking up in the direction of Leoyi Alley in the distance, he clearly remembered that there was a sentence written next to the straw mat in the alley:
This is a guest from heaven, why come to earth!
A few months later, a fire suddenly broke out in the main hall of Brahma Xing Temple. The fire was so fierce that the monks in the temple tried their best to put out the fire.
After the fire was extinguished, the monks were horrified. They saw that the golden Buddha in the hall turned black, with blood characters on it, and a bleeding lotus pattern appeared on the forehead!
The world is shocked! This chapter has been completed!
