"Sir, if you don't come out, I will go in and call you."
The officers and soldiers were more anxious than Bai Yu.
The officers and soldiers responsible for guarding have been blessed. The inn will provide meals. It's hard to eat a few good meals. Are you not in a hurry?
Bai Yu bared his teeth and smiled, showing that he was of the same kind.
"Hurry up, hurry up, run."
Bai Yu urged.
So, an officer and a soldier ran wildly on the street, attracting people's attention.
I rushed back to the inn and got stuck just before lunch.
In fact, the food is not delicious. It only contains a small amount of oil and salt, and there are no other condiments, which can make it look different. However, there is no difference without comparison. Compared with the meal of the exiled prisoners that Bai Yu had eaten, the food at the inn
The food is simply delicacies.
"When I get through this investigation, gain a firm foothold, and come out with a few condiments, of course, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that I have modern memory. It is quite easy to get rich in this ancient era.
When the time comes to marry a beautiful wife with ten bedrooms and eight bedrooms, what kind of ceiling of pure desire, what kind of royal sister, what kind of cat ears, complete categories of rings, complex models, changeable styles, immersive experience, the evil feudal dynasty,
See how I deal with you and so on."
Bai Yu suddenly felt that the food was not unpalatable.
After dinner, he continued to read in the county school library.
He actually doesn't like reading, but now he has no choice but to read hard, in order to survive, to adapt to the world faster, and to immerse himself in the abominations of the feudal dynasty.
...
The next day.
Mao Shi.
The yamen in Linfu County had just opened, and the yamen officer hurriedly reported, "Sir, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment is here to see you!"
The county magistrate was slightly startled. More than two hundred deportees who had disappeared mysteriously ten years ago suddenly appeared. Such a strange incident would definitely attract the attention of the superiors. This was expected, but he did not expect that the imperial court would send such a humble official as the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
A third-grade official came in person.
He carefully arranged his clothes and appearance in front of the bronze mirror and hurried out to greet her.
After leaving the yamen gate, I saw a middle-aged official wearing a scarlet robe and embroidering a third-grade peacock. The phantom of the peacock was surrounding his body. Behind him stood four attendants, leading five horses.
A bright smile quickly appeared on the county magistrate's face, with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He hurried over to greet him, bowed and bowed, "Your Excellency, the Minister of Servants, has arrived. I am sorry to hear you come from afar, but I hope you will forgive me."
If Bai Yu were here, he would definitely be shocked: Mr. County Magistrate, it turns out you are like this. Where is your arrogance?
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice just said "hmm" calmly.
"Your Excellency, please come inside."
The magistrate half-bowed and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
At this moment, two fast horses galloped over. One was an old man with one eye on the horse, and the other was a young woman. Both of them were wearing black clothes and black robes, with black robes and black hats. They looked a bit mysterious.
When they arrived at the yamen gate, there was no sign of slowing down. The two of them immediately turned over and dismounted. Both the man and the horse immediately came to a steady stop.
"What are you doing here as a demon slayer?"
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice frowned at the one-eyed middle-aged man, obviously not welcoming the visitor.
The one-eyed middle-aged man's facial lines were resolute, showing that he was a handsome young man. He casually threw the reins of his horse to the entourage of the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, "Take good care of my horse."
The young woman has a beautiful appearance, and her eyebrows are vaguely similar to the one-eyed old man. She should be the daughter or niece of the one-eyed old man. She also threw the reins to the attendant of the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, "Take good care of my horse too."
The attendant was at a loss whether to answer or not, so he had no choice but to look at his master for help.
Veins popped up on the forehead of the right minister of the Ministry of Justice. This feeling of being ignored made him angry. This was also the reason why he didn't like the Demon Exterminator. The Demon Exterminator was a maverick and lacked the due respect for court officials outside the court system.
Respect and etiquette.
The one-eyed middle-aged man took off his black hat and answered the question posed by the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, "Our Demon Slayer Department is not only responsible for exterminating demons. The Demon Slayer Division has the right to investigate any strange or bizarre events. But the Ministry of Punishment, according to
As far as I know, this incident does not involve serious crimes, why are you here?"
The young woman also took off her black hat... revealing her refreshing ponytail.
The right minister of the Ministry of Punishment snorted coldly, "The Ministry of Punishment has the reputation of being punished all over the world. As long as it is a case, the Ministry of Punishment can accept it. Ten years ago, this bizarre disappearance case was registered in the Ministry of Punishment, so I naturally want to come."
The county magistrate saw that the two parties were at odds, but could not intervene and could only keep laughing.
The four of them entered the Yamen.
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice took the main seat. The one-eyed middle-aged man and the county magistrate sat on both sides. The young woman stood behind the one-eyed man, as if she had become a shadow.
The three of them had just sat down and served tea when the Yamen servant hurriedly reported, "Qianhu, Jin Yiwei, please see me!"
The face of the county magistrate changed slightly, and the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment also felt a little unnatural. The Jin Yiwei was directly under His Majesty the Emperor and had the responsibility of supervising all officials. He was known to be vicious and vicious, and was avoided by all court officials.
On the other hand, the one-eyed middle-aged man looked calm and didn't care much.
The county magistrate said, "Please come quickly."
The Yamen servants retired.
Not long after, a young man wearing a bullfight uniform and an embroidered spring knife came in.
The young man's face is handsome, but slightly feminine. He is already a member of a thousand households at a young age, so he deserves to be called a young man.
He clasped his fists slightly and chuckled, "I have met several adults. Your Majesty is interested in this case. He sent an oral instruction to the commander to pay attention to the case. The commander specially ordered me to come and observe. During the process of this case, I
I won’t interfere in anything, I’m just responsible for recording and submitting it.”
The one-eyed middle-aged man said indifferently, "That's good."
After the young man Qianhu sat down, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment looked at the county magistrate and said, "Tell me about the situation of this case first."
Just as the magistrate opened his mouth to speak, the Yamen servant hurriedly reported, "A Taoist nun came to the door, calling herself the Messenger of the Moon Altar."
Everyone present looked stern and looked at each other.
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice looked solemn and stood up from his seat, "Since he is the envoy of that person, I'd better greet him."
The county magistrate, the one-eyed middle-aged man, and the young men in Jinyiwei all stood up and headed out together.
When I arrived at the yamen gate, I saw a Taoist nun holding a floating dust in her hand. She was so beautiful that her age could not be discerned for a moment. She looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old or in her twenties. There was the light of the moonlight behind her, which added a bit of holiness.
The Taoist nun's voice was ethereal, as if coming from outside, "The Patriarch has said that those of us who practice Taoism and maintain health are most sensitive to the passage of time. This incident seems to involve time, and the Patriarch specially ordered me to come and investigate."
The monks spoke without much sparkle. Several officials said, "Look at me and I look at you." They didn't know how to answer the question for a while.
The one-eyed middle-aged man smiled and said, "Since Yue Zun has given instructions, please come inside."
The Taoist nun gently nodded to him, held Fuchen in her hand, walked up the steps and entered the Yamen.
The right minister of the Ministry of Punishment looked at the one-eyed middle-aged man with cold eyes, disgusted with this behavior of turning his back on guests.
Among the people, he has the longest official position of the third rank. He should be the one to take charge of this yamen. When did it become the home of the Demon Slayer Division?
...
Bai Yu had breakfast at the inn and went to the county school library to read as usual.
"Sir, I heard that people from above are investigating the case. It won't take long for you to be free."
The officers and soldiers looked regretful that they could not eat the food in the post station without guarding them.
The officers and soldiers only knew that there was a case in the yamen, but they didn't know what the case was. They expected that the inspector was just cooperating with the investigation and had not committed anything. If he had committed something, he would definitely be in jail instead of living comfortably in an inn, so he
I want to tell you this.
Bai Yu's heart sank, and he had the idea of running away.
The investigators from above have arrived, but the tiger has not come back yet. He knows nothing about the details of the official mission.
If the investigators above call him for questioning, the secret will be exposed easily.
"I just hope that the people investigating the case above will interrogate other people first and not call me for questioning so quickly. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to run away..."
