After drinking the ginger soup made by Ruyi, Lin Linyou felt a lot warmer. He chatted with the fisherman and the fisherman for a few words and learned that this place was in Jiaxing County, hundreds of miles away from Yingtian Mansion...
When the clothes for baking were almost dry, Lin Linyou took off his fisherman's clothes, left two taels of silver, said goodbye, and headed for Nanjing.
Not long after Lin Lin walked away, Xu Pengzi also woke up. After drinking the ginger soup, he felt stronger and wanted to stand up to thank him.
The fisherman held him down and said: "You are still weak, don't get up. If you want to thank me, you should also thank the gentleman. He saved you, but it's a pity that he didn't leave his name."
"Is he a gentleman dressed in black with a white flying fish pattern on his right shoulder?" Xu Pengzi asked.
"He is dressed in black, and there is indeed a fish-like pattern on his right shoulder. I don't know if it is a flying fish... I don't see any wings!"
"It's Mr. Lin, he's a royal guard." Xu Pengzi said, "It's a pity that I couldn't wait to go with him, otherwise I would have gone to the capital to find my father for rescue and justice!" He knew that the fisherman and the fisherman's family were all good people, so he sent his father to the capital. Tell me about working as a minister in the Ministry of Industry.
The fisherman and the fisherman also gave a rough introduction to their family situation. The fisherman's surname was Bai and the fisherman's surname was Zhang.
Xu Pengzi learned that the county government was not far away, so he borrowed two clothes from the fisherman and changed into them, hoping to go to the county to redress his grievances.
Bai Yuweng said: "Now that you have nothing, how can you prove that you are the servant's son? You must know that the yamen has six doors, so no one can come in if you have no money. We, an old couple, make a living by fishing, and we really have no money to support you..."
"Old sir, what should I do?"
"Don't worry. Since Mr. Lin is a royal guard, he will not stand idly by. Maybe he has gone to the capital to inform your father." Bai Yuwen thought for a while and said, "I think you can live here first and take care of yourself. My son and daughter-in-law are all working for Mr. Song in the city! When they come back, let them talk to Mr. Song first and see if they can help? "
The name of Mr. Song in the Bai Yugong's mouth is Song Chong, but few people know that during the Jianwen period, he served in the Hanlin Academy. Later, the imperial court sent Li Jinglong to command an army of 500,000 to attack the then King of Yan, Zhu Di, and he joined the camp to serve. .
After Li Jinglong's defeat, he surrendered to King Yan, while Song Chong fled back to his hometown of Jiaxing out of fear of disaster and started working as an apartment owner behind closed doors.
He also keeps a low profile and never leaves the house when nothing happens. Almost no one knows his details. After so many years, the imperial court hunted down the Jianwen Party members and launched many prisons, but he was not implicated.
Xu Pengzi didn't think of any better way, so he settled in Bai Yuweng's house. Although he was accompanied by Hui'er Ruyi and two similar ages, he caught fish and shrimp every day and experienced the pastoral fisherman's happiness that he had never experienced before. Every day, I look forward to the return of the son and daughter-in-law of the fisherman and fisherman, so that they can redress their grievances as soon as possible and avenge Laifu Qingxi.
…
But a few days later, Lin Linyou arrived in Nanjing and returned to the villa he shared with Zhang Bi and Yang Fang. He only saw Zhang Bi and a cat, but not Yang Fang.
"Why did you come back?" Zhang Bi scolded Lin Linyou as soon as he saw him, "I thought you were dead!"
"It's so easy to die, but I can't bear to leave you." Lin Linyou said with a smile, "Where is Xiao Yang?"
"Going to the magistrate's office."
"What are you going for?"
"It's not like we're looking for that female headhunter."
"It's been so many days and you still haven't got the file?" Lin Lin asked curiously.
"The file has been obtained a long time ago." Zhang Bi said, "It's just that the female head catcher hasn't been obtained yet."
"Good guy, I can't see that this kid still has this ability...Whose is this civet cat?"
"The female head catcher," Zhang Ben said, "she said she didn't have time to take care of the case, so the third brother volunteered."
"This boy really has his skills." Lin Linyou said with a smile, "I also admire him. He even dares to ask for a woman as strong as the female head catcher."
"Yes! If it weren't for taking care of this cat, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to get the file." Zhang Bi said.
"Where's the file? Show it to me."
"It's very messy, and there are basically no clues." Zhang Bi threw over a thick stack of documents, "Why are you and your third brother so concerned about this case? You just came back, take a breather! If you are tired After you die, the court will grant you a first-level title, which is only a sixth-level title. You are not worthy of a stone man standing in front of your tomb."
Lin Linyou smiled and said nothing. He opened the file and looked at it carefully:
(Yongle) eight years.
Jiaofang Sinan City Building.
On November Yi Chou day, the deceased blacksmith Wang San was killed with a single knife...
On the 4th day of November, the deceased soldier Zhang Tong died with a single knife...
…
On the first day of December, the deceased river supervisor Li Rui, Anonymous A, and Anonymous B were all killed by a single knife.
The nameless people are those two time travellers. If no such person is found, what are they wearing?
The two fans were in another volume, and the cause of death was determined to be suicide, which was before these people.
"They were all killed with one knife. It seems that the murderer is a master." Lin Linyou thought.
"I have also read the records of the Jiaofang Division, and there is another thing in common. The ten gangsters who died were all people who drove cars and sold pulp, and they all had gangs with these two gangsters - except for the river supervisor Li Rui, this guy has a regular long three-pin head." Zhang Bi said, "As for the status of these two people in the Jiaofang Division, they are both Yaoer. Logically speaking, they cannot be matched by blacksmiths and military households... It’s not that they can’t afford it, at least for them, it’s a little expensive. These people are more likely to hang out in those wild brothels. I didn’t expect that I would lose my life just by visiting Jiaofangsi.”
"Before coming to Jiaofangsi, what were these two Yao Er's backgrounds?" Lin Linyou asked.
"It is said that they are all family members of the guilty ministers." Zhang Ben said.
"It is said?"
"For the specific identity, you have to go to the Ministry of Rites to check. In short, the identity in the Jiaofang Division only states that you are a slave."
"I think the focus is on these two Yao Er. The fourteenth floor of Nanjing Jiaofangsi and the other thirteen floors are all safe. A murder occurred in Nanshi Building. It is obvious that the murderer must have entanglements with Nanshi Building... How is the progress over there with Yang Fang?"
"You can ask this yourself when he comes back!"
Lin Linyou closed the file, picked up the civet cat at his feet, and told Zhang Bi what happened along the way, saying that he saved the son of a minister of the Ministry of Industry.
"Secretary Minister of the Ministry of Industry, that is a high-ranking official of the third rank!" Zhang Bi said, "Then you are not prosperous this time? You saved his son, it is really unreasonable for Minister Xu not to give you a few nice words in front of the emperor. Ah! No matter how bad it is, I should give you a few hundred taels of silver."
“Does river management belong to the Ministry of Industry?”
"Yes!" Zhang Bi said, "All the country's civil engineering, water conservancy, weapons, and even gold and silver currency are under the control of the Ministry of Industry. This is a fat job! It is much more beautiful than our job."
Just as he was talking, Yang Fang came back with a red face.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Yang Fang suddenly became worried again: "If the case is not solved, I'm afraid Miss Ren will be punished."
"Don't worry, if you want to be punished, it's also the prefect's fault. It's not her turn yet." Zhang Bi said, "No wonder I said you are so caring. It turns out it's not for the case, but for the girl!"
Lin Linyou took out the book of impermanence and threw it over, pointing to Wang Sandao's name on it: "Go and check this person. He is from Jiaxing County. He may be related to this case."
"What about these?" Yang Fang pointed to some other names.
"These are all private salt dealers. If we three brothers want to get some New Year's rewards, we have to point at them."
Yang Fang excitedly wrote down Wang Sandao's name in the Impermanence Book, and then ran over to Capt. Ren.
"Come back and bring me some mutton rice and stick bones! And a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus! The food must be from the shop on East Street outside Jubaomen!" Lin Linyou shouted at Yang Fang's back,
"This kid runs so fast, like a wild dog running loose."
"Why did the second brother become so picky?" Zhang Ben asked with a smile.
"It's not my fault. The one on West Street is not clean. I ate a hair last time."
"This is unreasonable! How can you bear this? Come tomorrow and bring some brothers to knock down his shop!"
"Forget it, it's not easy for me either." Lin Lin said, "I've been exhausted from traveling and traveling these past few days. I'll just take a nap for a while, and then call me when the meat and wine arrives."
"Aren't you going to Miss Yu's place tonight?"
"If I don't go, I won't go, even if I'm alive..." I was about to say "a donkey of the production team", but then I thought that I couldn't reveal my identity as a time traveler. After all, Zhang Ben was also suspected of time travel, so he quickly changed his words: "A living dragon and a tiger." I, too, have to take a rest!”
