Da Song Private Investigator

After solving the case of Fenghuangji, the group of them hurried to Jinling.

Jinling has been prosperous since ancient times, and it was even more prosperous during the Renzong period of Song Dynasty. Especially on the banks of the Qinhuai River, it is like a city that never sleeps.

When Hwarang and his group arrived at Jinling, it was noon, and the sun was so fierce that even if they walked around on horseback, they would still be sweating profusely. Therefore, after the group entered Jinling City, they were not in a hurry to meet Zheng Wangchai. Instead, he found an inn to fill his stomach and quench his thirst.

The name of the inn is Dujia. Of course, Jinling is not the only inn, but there is only one inn as special as Dujia Inn.

The only inn is very big, it can be said that it is the largest inn on the street where it is located. The decoration inside the inn is very luxurious, giving people a feeling that they dare not enter casually, but even so, the business of the only inn is The best, because the service here is attentive, the food is delicious, the wine is the most expensive, and the tea is the best.

After Hua Lang and his group entered the only inn, the waiter immediately came to greet him. The waiter kept smiling, making people feel at home, but Bao Zheng and others suddenly saw such an enthusiastic waiter. Some are not used to it.

After finding a place to sit down, the waiter immediately brought the menu, Hwarang and the others each ordered some dishes they liked, and then asked the waiter to cook.

After the waiter went down, he brought out the food in a short time, as if it was already ready.

Everyone was surprised by the speed at which the food was served in this inn, but even though they were surprised, they couldn't say anything, so they had to eat obediently.

And when everyone was eating, a person suddenly came from the second floor of the only inn. , but he didn't laugh because it was funny, because he noticed that the man's complexion was very bad, and his expression was slightly angry and worried. When he walked downstairs, he almost bumped into the person who greeted him.

After the man walked down, the waiter hurried up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Second Master Guan, how is the food?"

The man seemed very irritable, and after throwing a silver ingot, he left the only inn, leaving the waiter with the silver in his hand confused.

Hua Lang thought that person was very interesting, so he called the waiter to come to him, and asked, "Did you call that person Guan Erye just now?"

Seeing Hua Lang's magnificent appearance, the waiter in the shop nodded repeatedly: "That's right, he is our Second Master Guan, what's the matter?"

Hua Lang smiled lightly and said, "I've only heard that the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang are sworn brothers in Taoyuan.

Seeing that Hualang was just curious, the waiter in the shop felt relieved and said, "So that's the case, but if the guest officer has met Guan Erye's elder brother and third younger brother, I'm afraid he will be even more curious."

Hwarang shrugged and smiled, "Oh, why?"

Seeing that Hua Lang and the others were interested, the waiter in the shop suddenly opened up the chatter box, saying: "The second master Guan who just left is named Guan Mingyu, and his family has a lot of fertile land and a few shops. He is a big family in our Jinling. , he married two brothers with different surnames, namely Liu Bei, the eldest brother, and Zhang Fei, the third brother. The names of the three have the same pronunciation as the three brothers with different surnames in the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, so they also followed the example of the three in the Three Kingdoms period. Get married and do righteous deeds in Jinling."

After listening to Xiao Er's words, Hua Lang, Bao Zheng and others felt that the three Jinling brothers were really strange people, even their names were so strange.

But at this time, the waiter in the shop went on to say: "Uncle Liu is called Timely Rain in Jinling. As long as anyone has difficulties, he will do what he can, and he has never said that he will not help, so our people here respect Uncle Liu very much." , but Mr. Zhang's temper is a little irritable, and sometimes people feel that he can't get close, and he is very scared!"

After the shop waiter finished speaking, he seemed rather complacent, but after Hua Lang nodded slightly, he quickly asked: "Then what about Second Master Guan, he seems very angry just now!"

The shop clerk scratched his head and said, "Second Guan usually likes to eat the most, and he has a good temper, but today he is really weird, which makes people wonder." When the shop clerk said this, he quickly expressed his apology, saying: "I only care about you." I have talked to a few of you, and there is still something waiting for me in the kitchen, so please take it easy."

After Xiaoer Dian left, Bao Zheng chuckled and said, "I never expected that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei from the Three Kingdoms period would come to Jinling in the Song Dynasty. It's really strange."

Everyone agreed with Bao Zheng's words very much, so they laughed along with them, so that after everyone had had enough trouble, they would check out and leave.

After leaving the only inn, they went directly to the Jinling post house. They believed that King Zheng must be there. After all, in the land of Jinling, there are two places, the Jinling government office and the Jinling Jiedushi. It is not advisable to go, but to stay in the post house.

And things are indeed as Hwarang and the others thought, Zheng Wang Chai Rongbing is indeed staying in the post house, but in this post house, besides Zheng Wang Chai Rongbing, there is also Wei Huai, the magistrate of the Jinling government office. , and Jiedushi Chengli.

After Hualang and the others entered the posthouse, King Zheng seemed not very happy, looked at Bao Zheng coldly, and asked coldly, "Have you solved the murder case of Fenghuangji?"

Although Bao Zheng didn't like this King Zheng very much, he was a prince after all, so Bao Zheng answered politely. After he finished speaking, King Zheng said coldly: "Since the murder case of the Phoenix Collection has been solved, then Hurry up and do what the Eight Sage Kings told you." After Zheng Wang Chai Rongbing finished speaking, he got up and left the living room of the post house.

At this time, Wei Huai and Cheng Li didn't want to leave or not, and after they looked at each other, they both showed disgust. Although their expressions were subtle, they were still given by Hua Lang. Seeing it in his eyes, and after seeing the expressions of the two of them, Hwarang immediately understood what was going on between the two of them.

Jiedu envoys are generally employed by military officials, and their official rank is higher than that of magistrates, but they are only in one place, but they do not have much real power. In addition, magistrates are often civil servants, and the Song Dynasty respects literature and restrains military affairs, so the magistrates are very strict with Jiedu envoys. He was very fearless, and with such back and forth, in one place, the relationship between the Jiedu Envoy and the prefect was often not very good.

The imperial court seems to have taken this into consideration, so this is often the case with the appointment of a local magistrate and Jiedu envoy, because the two officials check each other, which can prevent one party from dominating, which is very important for local stability.
