There were still more than twenty meters away, and Bai Yu began to bow his hands with a smile on his face. When he got closer, he bowed deeply, showing strict etiquette.
Magistrate Linfu, who was seeing off several adults, frowned. This was too much. Starting to salute from such a distance made him feel like he had met his opponent.
The reactions of several adults were different. The right minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded slightly, the middle-aged man with one eye patch looked indifferent, the young guard Qianhu chuckled, and Zheng Yaner turned her face away, obviously not waiting to see him.
"The officers and soldiers responsible for guarding the inn this morning came to tell me that you can go home. I don't know how the investigation of the case of these adults is going. I met some adults at this ferry. I came here to ask if I still need your cooperation.
Where the investigation is concerned, as long as the adults speak up, the subordinates will give their full cooperation."
As a lower-ranking official, Bai Yu couldn't directly ask the superior official "how the case was investigated", so he used the excuse that "he is willing to cooperate with the investigation". Speaking is also an art.
The Right Assistant Minister of the Criminal Department smiled coldly, "Nothing has been gained. I walked around the mountains several times and couldn't find even the slightest clue. I don't know if this case is too difficult or if the person handling the case is incompetent."
Obviously, these words were not meant for Bai Yu to hear, but were meant to ridicule the Demon Exterminator by answering Bai Yu's questions.
Of course, Bai Yu would not respond stupidly and directly changed the topic, "Xiaoguan is the person responsible for escorting those exiled prisoners. I don't know how the higher ups will deal with those exiled prisoners. I hope you can tell me. After Xianguan returns,
It’s also easy to do business.”
The young Jin Yiwei Qianhu suddenly said, "Ten years have passed. The defenses in Beihuang have been completed. These prisoners do not need to be exiled to Beihuang. According to the above, these prisoners are still detained in Linfu County Prison for the time being.
Time will be given to build the imperial mausoleum."
It was better to build the imperial mausoleum than to be exiled to the Northern Wasteland. Bai Yu was happy for Lin Ping'an. He knew that Daqian did not have the bad habit of burying himself in burials. When the imperial mausoleum was built, the emperor would be happy and might pardon them.
The right servant of the Ministry of Justice said, "There are still many empty cabins on the official ship. You can come over here and catch a ride."
Bai Yu bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I will bring sixteen government servants to bring them out. I will bring them back safely. I'd better go with them."
"It's very valuable that you have such a sense of responsibility."
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice approved and waved his hand, "What's the problem? Just ask them to come together."
"Thank you, sir."
Bai Yu looked happy, but in fact there was nothing to be happy about... The official ship meant that the speed was faster and the accommodation was more comfortable. He actually didn't want to go with these big shots, but he had to accept the favor given by the adults.
.
He hurried back to the civilian ship and asked the sixteen government officials to transfer to the official ship, telling them not to make any noise. The government officials were eager to go home and were happy to be able to board the faster official ship.
In order to avoid causing trouble, Bai Yu allowed them to live in two cabins, eight people per room, and of course he had a separate room.
After arranging the office workers, Bai Yu went to the deck to look at the scenery. He saw that several adults were still there, but they were just standing in one side quietly blowing the wind. Maybe the cabin was too stuffy and they didn't want to stay in the cabin.
Wow!......
Large swaths of river water rushed towards the official ships, wrapping them around them and moving quickly, overtaking civilian ships one after another.
Bai Yu wanted to ask but couldn't find it easy to ask. This might be a common sense question. If he asked, he would expose his ignorance and easily reveal his secret.
The middle-aged man with one eye patch slightly tilted his head at Zheng Yaner.
Zheng Yan'er's eyes followed the direction of her father's head, and saw Qianhu, a young man standing beside the boat. He was wearing a bullfight uniform and carrying an embroidered spring knife on his waist. He looked even more upright and tall under the breeze of the river.
.
The middle-aged man with one eye patch chuckled, "You are not young anymore. How about this Jiang Yuan? After a few days of contact, he is very considerate and seems to be pretty good. He also has a good family background. His father is in command and is very popular with His Majesty."
Respect."
Zheng Yan'er was not as coy as ordinary women, and there was no big reaction on her pretty face. She said calmly, "I'll take a look, and I don't know her intentions."
The one-eyed middle-aged man was a little surprised. He had introduced many talented people to his daughter in the past, but her daughter always refused them outright. This time, she did not refuse directly. It seemed that she had a good impression of Jiang Yuan.
Bai Yu looked at the scenery for a while and then returned to the cabin. Several adults were standing there blowing the wind. If he went to say hello, he might disturb them. Not saying hello would be rude, so he simply avoided them.
He bolted the door to prevent anyone from disturbing him, and switched back and forth between the two character cards.
【Character Card 1】
[Name: Bai Yu]
[Race: Tiger]
[Identity: First-level tiger minion (with 30% of the tiger main body strength)]
[Skills: Transformation (transform into a tiger temporarily); Tiger Roar (while shocking the enemy, temporarily increase one's physical strength by 20%)]
[Props: None]
【Character Card 2】
[Name: Bai Yu (He Zhiyu, courtesy name Zhongjing)]
[Race: human]
[Identity: Inspection inspection of Qifeng County, Jingzhao Prefecture (from the ninth grade)]
[Skill: Roll call (anyone who is called by you will fall into a state of freeze)]
[Props: None]
On the way to exile, he was thinking about how to save his life, and when he arrived in Linfu County, he had to deal with the investigation. He never understood it clearly.
"First of all, the first point is the issue of the number of character cards. After obtaining the identity of this world, you can get character cards. Is there any limit on the number?"
"If there were no restrictions, that would be too perverted. I could keep getting character cards, get countless attribute bonuses and countless skills, and I would soon be invincible."
"So it is speculated that there should be a quantity limit, but I don't know how many pieces the upper limit is."
"I'd better not get identities casually in the future. If I reach the upper limit, I won't be able to get the character cards I want."
"Second point, can the character card be upgraded?"
"If I can't upgrade and want to become stronger, I can only obtain high-status character cards, such as the emperor character card... However, how can I obtain the emperor character card without strong strength? This will fall into an endless loop. It is obviously not possible.
Reasonable."
"It is speculated that the character card can be upgraded, but I don't know how to upgrade it. This is my most important thing at the moment."
"The third point is the attribute parameters of the character card and the use of skills."
"I have to find an opportunity to have a fight. Actual combat is the best test. Only in this way can I master the attribute parameters of the character card and the proficiency of several skills."
There was no instruction manual for this golden finger, and he was not taught how to use it. He could only rely on his own speculation. The only conclusions he had drawn now were these three points.
...
After lunch, Zheng Yaner walked into the cabin where the middle-aged man with one eye patch lived. She happily took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it over, "Father, look at this."
"What's this."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch uncorked the bottle and looked at it. He saw some ashes inside. He didn't recognize it for a moment. He raised his hand to lift the eye patch and looked at it with his delusional eyes. "Is this the ashes from the tribute paper?"
Zheng Yan'er sneered, "I found it in the house where the inspection station lives."
The man in the one-eyed patch wondered, "How come he has the tribute paper? Why didn't you take it out at that time?"
"At the time, I thought it was just ordinary paper dust, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I put it in a bottle and left it there. Then I found the cat's footprints on the windowsill. I thought they were the footprints of a tiger demon, so I hurried back to the prison to interrogate him."
Zheng Yan'er said, "After lunch just now, when I went back to the cabin to rest, I thought of this bottle. I was going to throw it away, but after looking at it I realized that there was something wrong with the paper ashes, and then I remembered that it was the ashes of tribute paper."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch pondered for a moment, "This can only mean that he took tribute privately, but it does not mean that he has anything to do with this case."
Zheng Yan'er said proudly, "The private tribute is enough for him to drink a pot!"
The middle-aged man with one eye patch looked at his daughter helplessly, "The duty of our Demon Slayer Department is to investigate bizarre and strange events, not to convict anyone... You should not handle cases with personal emotions."
Zheng Yan'er snorted coldly, "I may not expose him, but this handle is in my hands, and I can deal with him at any time."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch shook his head and smiled, saying nothing more.
He pondered for a moment and thought of a question, "Why did he burn tribute paper in the house?"
Zheng Yaner's clear eyes lit up, "Yes, if you take tribute paper privately, you can only keep it or sell it on the underground black market. Why does this guy want to burn it? Is he afraid of being found out? But judging from the ashes, he only burned it
If you burn one piece but don’t burn the others, it makes no sense.”
The middle-aged man with one eye patch thought for a while and said, "After you return to Jingzhao Mansion, check where the tribute paper was lost and see if there are any clues."
He glanced at the jar placed in the corner, "My delusional eyes can't see anything about these bones, but I will find some experts to take a look."
"Yes, Father!"
Zheng Yan'er was very happy to have the chance to find out about that guy, "Although that guy always looks like a loser, I always feel that he is mysterious and must have done a lot of dirty things behind his back."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch said nothing more. He only handles cases with rational analysis and never expresses personal emotions.
