Xu Taiping sighed.
This girl has hatred in her heart.
And it's heavy.
But what does that have to do with me?
I am her benefactor.
No matter how much she hates me, she will never hate me.
Even if she grows into a peerless female devil with the blessing of hatred, it has nothing to do with me.
hey-hey.
Think of this.
He stopped Shen Dongling, helped the little maid up, and said casually: "I also have plans for you, but I don't have a suitable technique now. Let's practice the "Xuanmen Zhoutian Gong" first, and I will give it to you when I find a suitable one."
"Thank you, Master!"
"But practice is not just about fighting and killing. You also need to read and be literate, so that you can go further. Do you understand?"
"My slave understands!"
"Come on, some blood."
Shen Dongling also successfully entered martial arts, but he was not too excited. At a young age, he was calmer than the two adults Wu Liuyi and Zheng Bowen.
Of course Xu Taiping is happy to see the results.
These are the most solid team and the most capable helpers.
Three Gangs of Men.
No matter how strong a person is, he still needs a few followers.
As for followers, of course they are trained personally, so they are more secure and easier to use.
Go out.
Jumped up onto the roof.
He sat down next to Mu Yuexin and asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Yuexin asked calmly: "What are you going to do?"
"Cold salad."
"I can help you."
"No, no, no, you are my trump card and cannot be beaten out easily. Besides, those little bastards are not worthy of you. Even if you chop off their heads, you are only flattering them. Do you understand?"
Mu Yuexin snorted softly: "Humph, I follow you because I want to learn your detective and reasoning skills, rather than listen to your glib words. If you are delayed in joining the job, I will return to Shenjing immediately."
Xu Taiping almost laughed out loud.
Return to Shenjing?
Who are you trying to scare?
Just go back when you come back.
I miss you very much?
Yes, even if it is a bit rare, it is not to the point where I will live and die without you.
On the contrary, I feel more comfortable without your big monitor.
I chuckled inwardly.
But he hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay: "Don't, don't leave. You are my trump card. If you leave, I will not feel confident. Da Yueyue, you know this. It is my first time to come to a big city and I have no friends. Especially Panic, leave, I really don’t know what to do.”
"It's good to know. Join the job as soon as possible. I want to watch you solve the case."
"Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
"Who do you arrange?"
"It will be done within three days, and you will know then."
Early the next morning.
Xu Taiping left the inn alone and walked on the street alone, from the south of the city to the north of the city, and from the east of the city to the west of the city.
The layout of this county city is similar to that of Jianyang City, but it is larger in scale. Only the south of the city accommodates nearly 100,000 people.
Including the east, west and north of the city, the permanent population exceeds 200,000.
In history before time travel, only a few large cities had such a scale.
But in this world, an ordinary county can accommodate so many people.
It is said that the state city can accommodate a population of one million.
Capital city, at least five million.
The Shenjing City in the center of the world can accommodate 10 million people.
In Mu Yuexin's words, a city in Shenjing City is bigger than Jianyang City.
Worthy of the honorific title "Shenjing".
After visiting Yingyin City.
It's already five o'clock in the morning.
Xu Taiping went to a clothing store and spent 300 taels of silver to buy a light ocher-colored tunic with a gold moire pattern.
I spent five hundred taels on a belt with gold buckles.
I spent another eight hundred taels to buy a folding fan said to be painted by Zhang Kefan, a famous Yingyin painter.
Dress neatly.
He looks like a wealthy businessman.
Find the most luxurious restaurant, Xihelou.
The right hand is behind the waist.
The left hand is shaking the fan.
He wandered through the door and threw five taels of silver directly to the boy: "Arrange the best private room for me."
"Thank you for the reward. Sir, do you think the window seat on the third floor is okay?"
"good."
"Master, please come this way."
Xu Taiping went upstairs, sat down, and without waiting for Erxiao to say anything, he took a photo of a banknote and said, "Two hundred taels, I'll eat whatever you want. I'll be satisfied with it, sir, and I'll get lots of rewards."
The waiter's eyes shone.
High roller.
Two hundred taels for one person.
Xihe Tower has been established for hundreds of years, and it has only hosted three or five such wealthy guests.
After all, no one’s money comes from strong winds.
Two hundred taels of silver is enough for a country person to live for ten or twenty years.
You have to take care of yourself
Therefore, he hurriedly accompanied me and said with a smile: "No problem, I will definitely make arrangements for you. Master, if you have any taboos, please feel free to tell me..."
“The best dishes are served as you like.”
"Do you drink?"
"A nice pot of tea."
"Okay, Master, please wait a moment."
Xu Taiping was condescending, looking down at the street through the window, but his mood was very calm.
Breaking?
The strategy to break the situation is already in mind.
Just waiting for the right opportunity.
Wait for the dishes to be served.
Xu Taiping ate happily and praised it while eating.
After eating.
Wave to the waiter.
At the same time, he took out ten taels of silver and threw it on the table: "I want to ask you a few things. If you know everything, this silver will be yours."
The waiter bent even lower, his mouth stretched to the back of his head: "Master, you ask."
"Is Xihelou the best restaurant in Yingyin?"
"yes."
"Do dignitaries often come here?"
"Of course," the waiter said proudly: "Especially for banquet guests, almost all of them are in our Xihe Building. Several large private rooms are queued for ten days. They often order our delivery service, including breakfast."
"real?"
"Can a villain lie to you?"
"I can't believe it. All the dignitaries have their own cooks. The governor and other adults don't dare to eat out often."
"How can the chef at home be the same as the chef at Xihe Building? They are different, completely different." The waiter puffed up his chest proudly: "Logically speaking, the prefect does not leave the government office easily, but he cannot resist the prefect's liking for small shops. It’s a special dish, so I often visit incognito, and everyone in Yingyin knows about it.”
"The governor is really here too?"
“Not only do I come here, but I also like to sit in the private room next door and enjoy the scenery downstairs through the window.”
"So, isn't your Xihe Building unique and unrivaled in Yingyin City?"
"Hehe, you can say that."
"Okay," Xu Taiping raised his chin: "The money belongs to you, and I will ask you to serve me next time."
"Okay, sir, please walk slowly."
at the same time.
In the county government office, the judge's office.
Judge Xia Xueyi waved to Qiu Kangsheng: "Is there any follow-up to what happened yesterday?"
Qiu Kangsheng trotted up to Xia Xueyi: "Sir, I have arranged for two detectives to take turns keeping an eye on him. The latest report is that Xu Taiping spent the whole morning wandering around, went to Xihe Building for a meal, and then returned to the inn."
"Didn't come to the Yamen?"
"without."
"You haven't sent in a recommendation letter yet?"
"nor."
"What does this person named Xu want to do?"
Qiu Kangsheng whispered: "Sir, there is no more than one county-level arrestee. You could just dismiss him and expel him from the city, and no one would say anything."
Xia Xueyi snorted coldly: "What do you know? The prefect has been staring at me. Isn't this giving someone a handle?"
Qiu Kangsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, you can use some tricks to lure him out of the city."
"Leave the city? What do you say?"
"You have more than a hundred death row prisoners and thousands of extremely vicious criminals in your hands. If you give a little hint, they will fight tooth and nail until Xu Taiping comes out of the city..."
At this point, he made a "cut throat" gesture on his neck.
