Chapter 302 Dumplings and Wine
Min Qiuye was the Tongzhi in charge of the security of Jinling City and the robbery. He had to try all the security cases in Jinling City. Within half a year of visiting Jinling City, he was selfless and merciless, and had a very high prestige among the people of Jinling City.
The young master of Li Changzhong, the Minister of Rites in the Little Six Ministry, teased the girl on the long street. He was touched and threw him into the prison in Jinling City for more than a month. Mr. Li asked countless people to find connections, but did not give him any affection. Although he offended many colleagues and ended up with a worldly comment, he accumulated excellent official voices.
Logically speaking, such cases should be made for Zhuge Shaobing, but he came to me, which also made me feel a little strange. I said, Lord Min, the matter of catching theft and solving the case should be a job for Lord Zhuge.
Min Qiuye said, I went to find Zhuge Shaobing, but he asked me to come to you because this case is related to the sect of the world.
Zhuge Shaobing and Min Qiuye have always been dissatisfied. After the incident involving Gong Tongzhi last year, he thought he could be promoted to the next level and become the Tongzhi of Jinling, but the court dropped Min Qiuye, which made Zhuge Shaobing very unhappy. Moreover, Zhuge Shaobing is a native of Jinling. Relying on his many relationships, he did not take Min Qiuye seriously.
I said, Lord Min might as well tell me.
Min Qiuye said that two months ago, women began to disappear in Jinling City. Later, after we investigated, we found that before these people disappeared, they had gone to Tongshan Temple to make a wish. We sent three groups of people to visit, but they never returned and there was no news. Later, a policeman was found in a dilapidated temple in the south of Jinling City, but the man had lost his mind and kept saying that there was a ghost.
I asked the policeman?
The policeman seemed to have been stimulated by some stimulation and was frustrated. He drew some strange symbols on the walls and the ground every day. As he said that, he took out a piece of straw paper from his arms, with two triangles on it, one positive and one reversed.
I was surprised, is it a hexagram?
Min Qiu Ye asked, what is a hexagram?
I have seen this mark. The hexagram is the beacon of the underworld. Min Qiuye is a civil servant and sneered at these strange and powerful things. The underworld is a bit too far away for him. So I explained to him that this is actually the symbol of a cult organization.
Min Qiuye said angrily, "After three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was the White Lotus Rebellion first, and then the Buddha's disaster. I didn't expect that it would appear in Jinling City again today. I want to investigate this matter and will never tolerate it!" I thought that the disaster in the underworld was not comparable to the White Lotus Rebellion. Happy Buddha could compare, but it was inconvenient to say more to him, so I said, "Don't worry, Lord Min, we will help you investigate this matter."
After seeing off Min Qiuye, Zhang Youqian said, "I didn't expect that the underworld would start to make plans."
I wonder, do you know the underworld?
Zhang Youqian snorted, you underestimate me too much. After all, I am also a shareholder of gossip weekly. What can I escape from my ears in the world? Lao Su, in fact, if you don’t say a lot of things, I know that you don’t have to bear them alone, so you will be under a lot of pressure...
I was a little moved and said, "You brother have recognized this for you."
Zhang Youqian said again, of course, I won’t handle it with you.
Peat, after finally being pretentious, the emotions that had been brewing for a long time were lost by your words. I said that it was a bit strange for these women to disappear. We might as well go and investigate while there is still time in the past few days. If there is really someone from the underworld at work, we must not sit idly by.
But I was still wondering whether it was done by others. Recently, after the martial arts conference, many people from the martial arts world came to Jinling City. Could it be that someone deliberately confusing the public and framed this matter on the underworld?
When it was lunch time, Zhang Youqian called Jiangnan and Liu Sanjin together, saying that he wanted to invite everyone to dinner. Jiangnan and Liu Sanjin were very close to Zhang Youqian, of course, it was more related to his willingness to spend money. These two guys tried every means to fool Zhang Youqian into treating guests, and every time they said that Zhang Youqian was very proud.
The four of them came to the famous Kelaiju in Jinling City. This restaurant is Huaiyang cuisine, focusing on freshness and tenderness, and the dishes are also exquisite, especially pufferfish. Of course, the prices of the dishes here are also very touching. The four of them ordered eight dishes and spent nearly five taels of silver.
Not long after eating, Zhang Youqian whispered to the corner of the wall, but saw Zhao Yu turn his back to us, calling a plate of peanuts, and drinking alone. Seeing this, Zhang Youqian walked over and said, "Isn't this Zhao Daxia?" Zhao Daxia had just married a beautiful woman like a flower. She was just a newlywed. She was not sleeping with her wife at home. Why did she run here to drink? How about it, why would you come over and have a drink together?
Zhao Yu glanced at us with a gloomy face and did not speak up. Zhang Youqian sat in front of Zhao Yu casually, looking at the peanuts in front of him, and said, "You are the fourth young master of the martial arts world, how can you eat so shabby? Guy, I'm taking two plates of dumplings, and counting them on my account."
The guy asked, what stuffing is needed?
Zhang Youqian said, is there any of them?
Guy Lobbyist, you are joking. The little one is so big, and you haven’t heard of dumplings with turtle stuffing. Zhang Youqian said he hadn’t heard of it, which doesn’t mean he didn’t. Call your shopkeeper! Not long after, the shopkeeper came over and Zhang Youqian asked, do you have dumplings with turtle stuffing in your shop?
The shopkeeper said, how can a turtle make dumplings?
Bang!
Zhang Youqian took out a hundred taels of silver bill from his arms and slapped it on the table. I asked if there was any!
When the shopkeeper saw the silver notes, his eyes shone and said, "As long as the money is in place, I can find you even a cuckold turtle." After that, he packed the silver notes and quickly ordered his friend to buy the turtle. After a while, two plates of hot dumplings were brought up.
Zhang Youqian said, as the saying goes, dumplings are like wine, the more you drink, the more you get. It’s delicious but dumplings... Zhang Youqian picked up the wine glass, Brother Zhao, I’ll toast you!
Zhao Yu slapped the table angrily, enough! Zhang Youqian, don’t think that I wouldn’t dare to kill you in Jinling. Zhang Youqian said yes, I just happened to be impatient to live. Zhao Yu snorted coldly, called me, pay the bill, threw down a piece of silver, and walked towards the street opposite.
At this time, there was a figure in the street opposite. It was Xie Donglai, the new head of the Xie family. He waved his hand at Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu quickly flashed and entered the teahouse opposite. I thought to myself, why did Zhao Yu and Xie Donglai get along with each other?
I tried to release the spider silk true energy to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.
There are noisy people on the streets. This is the first time I have released the true essence of spider silk in so many people. It has a lot of interference in the downtown city, which has accidentally increased the difficulty and consumed much more true essence than before.
The two of them hooked up together, obviously for a purpose.
After Xie Donglai became the new head of the family, the power of the Xie family plummeted. Only the leader of the Wang family in Jinling City was the leader. Especially after the Wang and Zhao families got married, the power of the Wang family went to a higher level and left the Xie family far behind.
Xie Donglai would definitely not be convinced of this. He was a concubine. He was expelled from the family several years ago. Now he has returned to the Xie family and has great power. He has a lot of gossip. He is not a fool. He could tolerate it before, but what if he tolerate it for a while now?
Zhao Yu became the son-in-law of the Wang family, but the farce when Wang Linglong got married is known to everyone in Jinling City, so Zhao Yu is naturally unhappy. Even if these two people can hook up, they cannot be said to be like-minded, at least they are like-minded.
Not long after, Zhao Yu came out of the restaurant opposite, glared at us, and left. Zhang Youqian got the money and everyone walked out. As soon as he left the door, a middle-aged beggar-like man walked past us, and I shouted, Thank you!
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, Mr. Su?
Chapter completed!
