At the end of the banquet, the middle-aged man with one eye patch looked at Bai Yu and said.
Bai Yu knew that they were probably going to discuss the case, and it was not convenient for him to be there.
"I'll take my leave first, my lords. Eat and drink well."
Bai Yu bowed his hands and turned to leave.
After hearing the sound of Bai Yu coming downstairs, the middle-aged man with one eye patch said, "From the current point of view, there is nothing abnormal among the 16 government officials and 218 prisoners during the inspection. The other one that the tiger demon took away
The lurkers have also found the corpses. Unless the tiger demon is captured, there will be no clues to be found from these people."
After a pause, he continued, "Next, we need to change the direction of the investigation and focus on searching the road from Bajiao Pavilion to Linfu County. Every inch must be carefully investigated."
The one-eyed middle-aged man said, "Jinyiwei's spies have searched it before and found nothing except a corpse. However, the spies are weak and their perception is not that keen. We have to search the mountain ourselves."
"It should have been like this a long time ago. What's the use of always looking at prisoners and government officials."
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice snorted coldly, showing his presence.
The one-eyed middle-aged man looked indifferent and ignored him. He looked at the young Jinyiwei Qianhu and said, "While we are personally searching the mountain, please ask the Jinyiwei agents to seal off the area and not allow anyone to enter."
Qianhu, a young guard in Jinyi, chuckled, "The official has already ordered people to block it, so nothing will go wrong."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch nodded and expressed his appreciation. He is a very good young man who does things thoughtfully at a young age.
...
"The king asked me to patrol the mountain~"
Bai Yu hummed a little tune and walked towards the inn, jumping left and right.
I finally survived the investigation from the imperial court. If nothing else happens, I should be fine and have a stable foothold in this world.
Noticing the strange looks from passers-by, he stopped jumping, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward steadily. "Fan'er" should not be forgotten.
"Sir, how is it?"
The officers and soldiers at the gate of the inn were already familiar with Bai Yu.
Bai Yu said, "The case is almost over."
The officers and soldiers were a little regretful, "So fast."
Bai Yu laughed and scolded, "Do you want me to live here all my life just to eat the food at the inn?"
The officer and soldier asked naively, "Are you still going to the library to read today?"
Reading? Read a Hammer book. Bai Yu lowered his voice, "Is there anything interesting?"
The officers and soldiers became energetic and laughed, "Yes, yes, but the place we often go to is too low-grade, and I'm afraid it doesn't meet your status, sir. There is a higher-grade place, but the money is relatively expensive.
If you have money, you can show us the world."
"silver......"
Bai Yu started groping around on his body.
He remembered that among the official's relics, apart from a change of clothes and seals, there were a few pieces of silver.
"found it."
He took out a few broken pieces of silver and asked, "Are these enough?"
The officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment. They obviously didn't expect that the inspector was so poor. The inspector was an official after all, so he didn't know how to make some money.
He felt a little confused, "It's enough to say it's enough, and it's not enough to say it's not enough."
"How do you say this?" Bai Yu asked, not understanding.
The officer explained, "It costs half a tael to enter that place, half a tael to open a table, and another half a tael to serve food and wine. Your Excellency, I have more than two taels of silver here. Of course it's enough to go and see the excitement. Don't think about anything else.
.”
You can only watch the excitement? What's so good about the excitement? Bai Yu is helpless and confused. He doesn't have enough money to go, so he can only read boringly if he doesn't go. Otherwise... go to a low-end one and just open the door directly.
No, no! After all, he is a time traveler. Isn’t that a joke?
"Let's go and see the excitement."
Bai Yu finally chose a high-end one. It was better to listen to the young lady singing than to read boringly.
The officers and soldiers led the way with big smiles on their faces, and it was great to see the world.
Under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, they went straight to the riverside.
Seeing a three-story boat parked on the river, and many small boats coming and going, the officers and soldiers raised their hands and waved.
A boy quickly rowed his boat over.
The officers and soldiers reminded in a low voice, "Sir, half a pound."
Bai Yu understood that getting on the boat was equivalent to entering the door. He took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the boy. The boy nodded and bowed and asked Bai Yu to get on the boat. The officers and soldiers were considered to be his followers for free.
Swinging and swinging, the boat got closer to the boat.
"Hey, the official is here."
The half-aged woman hurried over to greet him with a spring breeze on her face. The silk handkerchief caressed his face, and the strong smell of rouge and gouache almost "sent him away".
Bai Yu was not unhappy. This tone of voice and the heavy make-up had an internal odor. This was the feeling he wanted.
"Open the table and serve the food and wine."
Bai Yu took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into her pocket. Well, it was a pretty good pocket.
"Please come in, sir." The half-aged woman pretended to be annoyed and rolled her eyes at him, but her smile became even brighter.
Bai Yu put his hands behind his back and walked steadily inside.
Linjiang Tower.
The fourth floor, top floor.
After lunch, Zheng Yaner, who was drinking tea, looked at the beautiful scenery on the river. Suddenly her eyes narrowed and she noticed the familiar figure standing on the boat, "Isn't that an inspection?"
Several adults subconsciously looked towards the river, and saw Bai Yu standing at the door of the boat, chatting and laughing with an ageless woman with heavy makeup, putting the money in the woman's pocket, and then swaggering into the boat.
Zheng Yan'er blushed and spat, looking away, "Smelly man, there is no good thing."
The adults were a little embarrassed.
The county magistrate's face was not very good, and he quickly stood up and bowed his hands in a salute, "The lower official is incompetent and does not control his subordinates strictly. The lower official asked the officers and soldiers to guard the inn, but I didn't expect to take him to a place like that."
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice didn't want to say anything, but he remembered his previous promise that "as long as he is here, no one can do anything about this inspection." He casually defended, "He is not an exile, and there is no need to control him too strictly, but it can be appropriately lenient."
The county magistrate quickly said, "Yes, I understand."
...
It was really lively in the boat.
Similar to a hall, there is a small stage in the back. Two young women in light fan skirts are sitting on the side of the stage, holding pipa and playing and singing. In the middle of the stage, six young women in red dresses with long sleeves are dancing.
Of course, the songs and dances are not as exciting and rhythmic as modern times. The singing is in the famous tune of Ci Pai, and the dance is long-sleeved and waving.
That's it? Bai Yu was a little disappointed.
There are more than a dozen small round tables in the hall. Most of the tables are occupied by guests, leaving only a few empty tables.
Judging from the clothes of these guests, they should be wealthy businessmen, country squires, and scholars.
The guests watched the dance, listened to the music, and were immersed in it.
Bai Yu came to an empty table and sat down. The food and wine were served quickly. A pot of wine and three side dishes to go with the wine, half hot but not hot. Come to think of it, the guests here are not here to eat.
The officers and soldiers stood behind him, staring at the stage without blinking, their saliva almost flowing out.
Look at this potential... Bai Yu touched the officers and soldiers with his elbow, "Are you looking at this all the time? Nothing else?"
When the officers and soldiers came back to their senses, they might be worried that the loud noise would disturb the singing, so they bowed and whispered in his ear, "Later, Miss Lan Shuang, the leader of the boat painting team, will come out to propose a toast and give a topic, usually a poem, which is appropriate to the poem."
Class, whoever answers the question that satisfies Miss Lan Shuang can become her guest. If not satisfied at all, then there will be a competition for financial resources, that is, money. Whoever gives more money will win, and there will be those girls dancing on the stage.
, you can stay overnight for three taels of silver."
Question?
This is good, this is good, and it doesn’t cost any money.
Bai Yu was very happy. He knew relatively little about the subject, but he knew a lot about poetry. If he encountered poetry that he knew, he would definitely come out on top.
It should be noted that the poems he recited were all famous works through the ages, and any one of them could beat others.
As a guest at the scene, as soon as the candlelight blew out, he immediately switched to the villain character card, greatly increasing his physical strength and filling the experience.
As for writing poetry, Bai Yu was not worried about whether Fu was incompatible with his status as a patrol inspector.
Good lines are made by nature, and can be found by chance. Poetry is just a flash of inspiration. Sometimes the inspiration comes to a trafficker and he can compose a few lines of limericks. Of course, he can also write poems during inspections, but he does not have to write the whole article.
article.
So Bai Yu waited and waited. He drank about the same amount of wine and ate about the same food. The singing and dancing on the stage made him drowsy. It wasn't until the hall started to boil and someone shouted "Miss Lan Shuang is coming out" that he became energetic.
