"Do you think Zhou Xian can write a blood letter on the wall?" He snorted coldly, "Don't forget that he is from a language official. If there is grievance, wouldn't he think of a way to turn it back?"
Yup! Zhou Xianji was previously the official of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was the official. The position of an official, who is not high in rank, is responsible for monitoring and speaking. The top can advise the emperor, the bottom can impeach hundreds of officials, and supervise the local government. As an official, not only must speak frankly, but also cherish fame and festivals rather than wealth.
If Zhou Xian has already been wronged, there is no reason for him to keep silent if such a big black pot of greed for 100,000 taels of money for repairing the river is on his head
Looking at Lu Yi this summer, he still refused to give up. He continued to use the lantern to carefully look at all parts of the house, suspecting that the original traces had been scraped off, except for the walls and corners.
Lu Yi ignored her and looked at the paintings and calligraphy on the wall.
"Huh?" This summer, I saw a round-bellied porcelain altar under Sumeng's closet. I stretched out my hand and took it out. The paper on the top was torn, and I knew it had been opened at a glance. She leaned in and sniffed, a smell of wine wafted out, and there was something else...
Rolling up her sleeves, she reached into the wine jar, fished two handfuls, and took out two packets wrapped in silk wool.
Old Wangtou said in surprise: "There is still something hidden in this wine jar?!"
Lu Yi also looked over.
Unravel the silk wool layer by layer under the lamp, and the contents inside are slowly revealed, just some black things, lumps, and slag...
"What, what is this?" Old Wangtou looked puzzled.
"Ganoderma lucidum, right? Ganoderma lucidum brewed wine," said nonsense this summer, "it can strengthen your body and prolong your life. If you drink it for three months, you can travel 800 miles a day."
Old Wang nodded "Oh, oh": "Master Zhou is very thin, and his body doesn't look good. He probably wants to make up for it."
Ignoring this summer's nonsense, Lu Yi picked up some debris and put it on his nose to sniff: "It's spice, this should be Huoxiang, and... cloves." He sniffed carefully a few times and was able to confirm .
This summer, I have pulled open the drawer of the plain cabinet, and put some qinghao and some cinnabar in it. These things were not letters, and the people in the yamen probably thought they were of little value, so they didn't move them.
Seeing these two things, my mind moved this summer, and I asked Lao Wangtou, "Did Master Zhou ever ask you for beef marrow and tallow?"
Old Wangtou said curiously, "He did ask Zhou Fei, the book boy, to ask me where I can buy beef marrow and beef fat."
This summer, he clapped his hands and smiled: "I really can't tell, this Lord Zhou is still an infatuated lover."
Lu Yi looked at her: "How do you know that he is infatuated?"
"It's these things!" This summer fiddled with the green penny and talked eloquently, "This is a recipe for making rouge. Wrap the cloves with silk wool, put them in warm wine, soak them for one to three nights, and then soak them in The fragrant wine and these two spices are put into the beef pith and tallow in public, boiled on a low fire, and the artemisia annua is added to make the color of the oil white. Finally, filter the oil with silk cotton, pour it into a porcelain bowl or lacquer bowl, and let it cool If you add cinnabar, it can be used as a red lip gloss; if you don't add cinnabar, it can be used as a face cream."
Hearing what she said in an orderly manner, it didn't seem like she made it up casually, Lu Yi said, "How do you know this recipe?"
"This is the recipe recorded in "Qi Min Yao Shu". It turned out that my mother tried it at home and wanted to make her own rouge and sell it. Unfortunately, the cost was too high and the price could not be sold, so I had to give up." I regretted it this summer. The ground sighed, "In this world, it's too sad to want to make more money."
She sighed and sighed, even shaking her head and sighing with Lao Wangtou, Lu Yi had to cough a few times, signaling her to return to the topic.
"The procedures for making this rouge are quite cumbersome, but he is willing to do it himself, which shows that he has good intentions and has a deep affection for this woman." This summer then sighed, "I can't believe that Zhou Xian is still a lover."
Thinking of the sachet, Lu Yi asked Lao Wangtou, "Do you know what kind of relationship he has?"
"This..." Pharaoh said, "I am the one who looks after the hospital. Lord Zhou has never brought a woman back, so I really don't know. Zhou Fei should know about these things. Except for the few days he was sick, he followed Zhou with him. next to the adults."
"Where is Zhou Fei now?" asked this summer.
"After Mr. Zhou's accident, he was taken away." Old Wangtou sighed, "He's only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he's still a child at all. He's locked in a prison, but he'll be offended."
"It's alright, it's just a prison cell in the government office, not an imperial prison, that's what it means to be in or out."
Comfort him this summer.
Lu Yi glanced at her. The latter was ignorant, shook his head, and went on to look elsewhere.
Outside the night wind swept through, a bit of spring cold, a bit of a dark fragrance, and the moonlight was just right.
The wet green tiles were covered with dense moss, and there were several dog's tail grasses swaying freely in the gaps until they were pulled down by a hand.
Xie Xiao, who was dressed in night clothes, covered his head, covered his face, and was dressed neatly, was lying on the roof of the Prison Commissioner.
A dozen steps away from his feet is the prison of the Prison Investigator. According to Yang Yue, Sha Xiuzhu should have been imprisoned here after being escorted from the boat.
How to get in is the question.
How to find Sha Xiuzhu and bring people out is also a problem.
Xie Xiao leaned down and looked at the eyes of two guards in brocade robes, all wearing indigo long body armor, small leather belts around the waist hanging bronze medals, and said a few words before the prison, and the guards let him They enter.
He spat out the grass stalk, he had already taken it to heart, and quietly climbed down the ridge of the roof, hiding in the darkness.
When he reappeared, the original night clothes had been replaced by a brocade guard's outfit. His stature is quite tall, and wearing this stolen robe on his body makes him more and more long-handed.
He just walked straight to the gate of the prison with such carelessness, and called to the messenger, "Your Excellency wants to arraign Sha Xiuzhu, and order me to take him there."
About to look at the face, the two guards looked at him, but did not speak.
Xie Xiao coughed heavily: "Lu from the capital has experienced Master Lu."
Hearing Lu Yi's name, the dispatcher seemed to suddenly realize, exchanged glances with each other, opened the prison door, and shouted inside: "Master Lu has sent someone to interrogate Sha Xiuzhu, you guys are waiting for me!"
The jailer inside responded.
Seeing that the plan was half-successful, Xie Xiao secretly rejoiced and strode towards the expert. Before taking a few steps, he heard a thud behind him, the door was closed again, and then there was a heavy muffled sound, less than three feet in front of him, An iron gate fell out of thin air, blocking the way in a dense manner.
The way to come has been cut off, the way to go is blocked, and he is actually locked in it.
"Ignorance at a young age, you dare to pretend to be Jin Yiwei!" The sneering laughter from outsiders came in, "When Lord Qianhu arrives, I will chop you into seventeen or eighteen pieces."
Xie Xiao didn't want to understand where he had revealed his flaws and let them see the clues, but he didn't have the time to think about it right now, and it was important to get out quickly. If they were caught, he wouldn't be afraid to kill or stab himself, but it would be a rage when it reached the old man's ears.
The surroundings were pitch-dark, and he took out the fire book from his arms and dazzled it, looking around for the mechanism.
At this moment, two explosions suddenly sounded outside, and even the ground shook twice. After that, the dispatchers were heard shouting loudly. It seemed that the water had gone somewhere, and they were rushing to rescue...
Xie Xiao is still looking for the machine on the iron gate, but the whole surface of the iron gate is as smooth as a knife, and the light is not lost, and no flaws can be found. .
"The fourth, the fourth!" Someone called him outside the iron gate.
It's Shangguan Xi!
"sister?"
"Fourth, get out of the way, I'll blow this door open."
"it is good."
Xie Xiao ducked to the corner, and after a while, he heard a loud bang in his ear, which made his ear drum buzz. The keyhole of the iron door was blown up, and even a large piece of the brick wall next to it was blown up. Dust was flying, and a slender figure appeared in front of him.
"Fourth?!"
His mind was still a little confused, Xie Xiao was still in a daze, and was found by Shangguan Xi: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go!"
"Sister, what kind of thing are you making? It's so clever! Give me one, I'll blow up the gate, and Big Brother Sha is still inside."
Shangguanxi hurriedly pulled him out: "I only have three with me, and I've run out of them, hurry up!"
"But… "
Xie Xiao was not reconciled at all.
Shangguanxi pressed his hand and said solemnly: "I will definitely try to save him for you, you believe me!" After all, without waiting for him to answer, he pulled him out of the prison and jumped into the night.
After these three loud noises in a row, Lu Yi looked out the window, across half of Yangzhou City, at the vague firelight.
"Where is where?" he asked Old Wangtou.
Old Wangtou squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long while: "The east end of the city, the location should be the location of the Prison Prosecutor."
This summer, he also looked over and sighed: "How much hatred do you have with Jin Yiwei? To actually use Lei Ming's thunderbolt, this thing is expensive, it's really not bad."
Thunderbolt Thunderball!
Lu Yi frowned, turned and walked away.
"Hey! Your lord..." She shouted this summer and said softly after hearing Lu Yi's footsteps downstairs, "I guess you don't have to accompany you in a humble position, right?"
Naturally, there was no reply, and Lu Yi's footsteps had already left the hospital.
Satisfied this summer, he was about to go back to his house to sleep, he smiled and touched Ah Hu, and bowed his head to Lao Wang to say goodbye.
When leisurely walking down the stairs, suddenly thought of something between the lights and flints, a sudden thump in my heart, and secretly said: Is it Xie Xiao? There is no need to make such a big commotion to save people, right
Before she could think about it, she rushed downstairs and chased the direction of the fire.
Lu Yi was only a moment ahead of her, and she chased after him three blocks before she could catch up with him.
"How can you catch a thief with such slow hands and feet?" Lu Yi slowed down after hearing that she was chasing so hard.
This summer, I breathed evenly, without any self-examination: "Fortunately, your lord, you are not a thief, otherwise it would be really hard."
Lu Yi's face sank, and he quickened his pace again, ignoring her.
By the time the two of them arrived at the Office of the Prosecutor, the flames had all been extinguished, and only a few puffs of green smoke were left, which disappeared in the darkness of the night.
It seems that the fire has been saved.
At this time, the explosion was only a stick of incense sticks away, and the fire was not too small. Rao did not want to see Jin Yiwei this summer, so he had to secretly praise this group of Jin Yiwei for their well-trained and high efficiency. Thinking back to the time when the Ministry of Punishment caught fire, it started from a different courtyard, and it took a long time to save it. Dozens of people who were imprisoned in the prison were choked to death by the smoke, which was really desolate.
"Lu experience!"
Yin Xianguang, the deputy envoy of the fourth-grade official inspector here, did not expect Lu Yi to rush over, and was slightly surprised.
"Master Yin." Lu Yi meticulously saluted according to the official rank, "Excuse me for taking the liberty of my position, I just heard the explosion and saw the fire again. I don't know what happened? I want to come and help."
"That's right," Deputy Envoy Yin not only did not dare to show any official prestige, but also did not dare to show any slights about Lu Yi's experience in the seventh grade. "There are thieves who are very rude and arrogant. They blew up the stables in order to rob the prison, causing riots. They blew up the prison door again, trying to save the prisoners."
"There may be escapees among the prisoners, is there any need for low-ranking duties?" Lu Yi asked.
"That's not true," Deputy Envoy Yin keenly realized that this was a good time to take credit, and smiled, "Lu has no idea, in order to prevent thieves from robbing the prison, I added a few inches thicker to the prison the year before last. It is impossible for ordinary explosives to blow open the iron gate, and it can also seal the robbers in it."
"Sir really thought it through." Lu Yi took a slight step towards the front and asked, "I wonder if I can go in and have a look?"
"Of course."
Deputy envoy Yin quickly gave up his background and led Lu Yi in.
This summer, she followed her inside, but was blocked by the guards. She quickly explained, "I'm a subordinate of Lord Lu, and I'm with you." She went to Xie's house tonight, so she didn't wear the clothes of Jukuai, but her waist card was Carry it with you, take off your waist card and show it to the guards.
The guard glanced at the waist card and said coldly: "Master Lu is a Jinyiwei, how can there be a subordinate of Six Doors, the girl must have mistaken the door."
The guard and the guard couldn't explain this for a while. Seeing that Lu Yi went in without turning his head this summer, he shouted in a hurry: "Master Lu! Master Lu!"
Lu Yi was talking to Deputy Envoy Yin while walking.
