V8.Chapter 11

As the factotum retired, officials of Dali Temple raised their chopsticks for dinner and chatted while eating.

No government affairs, no anecdotes.

Although lady Huakui died, the storm left behind was not small.

a sex murder?

Stealing and killing?

Various speculations were put forward and became more and more beautiful.

You know, it is a common practice to have sex with prostitutes in the official circles of the Tang Dynasty. There is a crossroads between pingkang square and the Imperial City gathered by various yamen, so it is very convenient for officials to go there to relax after finishing their official duties.

In other words.

Almost all the people present were old drivers. They drank a few glasses of wine and talked a lot.

"OK, the Shangyuan Festival is coming. If you should take a break, take a break. If you should take a turn, take a turn. Don't say anything about Huakui. It's not too bad."

A clear voice sounded.

"Here."

"Here."

Seeing that Shaoqing Li cake was not interested in this kind of fragrant murder, everyone shut up, sat cross legged on the cushion and quietly ate under the corridor.

In fact, after listening to it for so long, Lu Li only knew that a lady Huakui with a stage name of Fuxiang died naked.

After all, everyone was hearsay and didn't believe it. In addition, he was not interested in investigating the case. He simply concentrated on tasting the free lunch on the plate and left the Imperial City as soon as possible.

At this time, the Royal cat Li cake sitting next to him swallowed a small dried fish and asked, "what are the arrangements for the Shangyuan Festival?"

Hearing the speech, Lu Li was stunned. He felt a little puzzled and asked subconsciously, "what's the matter?"

"If there's any trouble, I'll send someone to find the temple secretary." Li Bing took it for granted.

“……”

Lu Li was speechless for a while.

If I had known this, I should have listened to Bai Xiao's suggestion and selected a noble and scattered official to lead the imperial court's salary and enjoy all kinds of treatment. I don't have to do anything, rather than an official with political affairs to deal with.

In fact, Lu Li had a strong premonition in his heart: I'm afraid the holiday will be ruined, and he probably will encounter some trouble.

"Just take precautions, as long as there is no big event that breaks the sky..."

Li Bing saw that Lu Li's face was unhappy. His cat's eyes narrowed and said briskly: "I promise, no one will disturb Siqing's Yaxing."

"Go to the East and West cities tomorrow, and go to pingkangfang to visit Qujiang with a female companion the next day. As for the night, it's natural to go to the government affairs building to enjoy the lights with the saints..."

High official positions are not without benefits. Lu Li, a three grade official, can at least spend the festival with the emperor and enjoy the top food and scenery of the times.

Hearing the speech, Li Bing nodded and stopped asking questions, because he was also on the banquet list in the future. At that time, the two will meet.

"Drink slowly, everyone. I have something to do first."

Seeing nothing to explain, Lu Li got up and left.

"The temple minister Shangyuan is in good health."

"The temple minister Shangyuan is in good health."

The officials along the road stopped drinking and threw a toast, quickly crossed their hands and watched the head of the temple go away.

In this way, amid the sound of blessings, Lu Li left the Imperial City ahead of time, ready to stroll around and enjoy the hard won leisure.

As a result, as soon as he got out of the Imperial City, a group of strong men with swords surrounded him and saluted him.

No more, no less, just 48 people.

The nearby guards in armor did not care about it, and the chief General even nodded to them.

"Lang, why did you come out so early today, but you have to go back to the official office?"

One man led a horse.

Ouch!

Almost at the same time, a strange hiss sounded. The black maned horse broke free from the reins, rushed to Lu Li's body in an instant, and constantly arched his master with his head to show his intimacy.

"Shangyuan takes a rest. I won't go back to the official office or the government for the time being. Don't follow me. Have fun yourself."

Lu Li casually sent the people around him. They were men of the people near Chang'an. They served every year to guard the house, guard and guard for officials.

Dali Temple secretary, three grade official, the court will equip him with 48 vigorous Fangge to ensure safety.

"Lang, this..."

"Let's go. Is there anyone who dares to assassinate me in broad daylight?"

Luli was too lazy to be wordy. He jumped directly onto his horse and galloped south along the avenue.

Are you kidding? Who's qualified to protect him?

With the speed of the black maned horse, Lu Li soon disappeared in the sight of the guards and lost his whereabouts.

meanwhile.

In the west of the city, yiningfang is the official office of Dali temple.

Commenting on the matter, Yuan Zai held back and looked at the stocky figure on his side: "Bao joined the army and climbed the three treasures hall. What are you going to say?"

Hearing the speech, the man called Bao joined the army said with a strong smile: "the Shangyuan Festival is coming, and the whole Chang'an is happy. What can I do? There's no need to be nervous about the yuan review."

And Yuan Zai nodded, didn't answer, and looked at the visitor silently.

"It's nothing serious. I heard that lady Fuxiang was killed when I went to the court. Alas, I had the chance to see her once before. It's really beautiful... I was feeling the past for a moment. I took a rest in the afternoon and came to Dali temple to see what happened."

Yuan Zai was thin and wore a broad blue official robe. He had a feeling of immortality, that is, his eyebrows were not very good-looking. This frown was more serious.

Get the file.

It's very easy. He doesn't need to ask Shaoqing, let alone dalicheng who stays in the temple. He can do it himself.

But why did Bao join the army come to Dali temple for a Huakui? Certainly not because of any feelings. This guy is a rough man. How can he be so elegant?

"Huakui?"

With this in mind, Yuan Zai was dazed: "who knows that the lady was killed? Why don't you know. It is estimated that the file has not been submitted in Wannian County..."

In case of a homicide in pingkangfang, the reporter should first report to Marquis Wu, who patrols the street, and then report to Lizheng. Then Marquis Wu and bad people go to the scene to investigate and confirm who the dead are. If they are dignitaries and nobles, they should immediately report to Dali temple. If it is a common people in Qianshou, it will be handed over to the magistrate of Wannian County for treatment, visit and investigation, and send Zhuo to examine the body.

In addition, there is a murder case of Jing Zhaoyin between Dali temple and Wannian county. It is almost impossible for the file to appear in Dali Temple unless

"Don't deceive me about Yuanping. I just came out of Wannian county government office." Bao joined the army with a heavy complexion and a hoarse voice: "they said the case was strange and tricky, suspected of being evil, and was handed over to Dali temple for handling an hour ago."

There was anxiety in the tone.

Obviously, Yuan Zai, who had a delicate mind, noticed this, especially the other party's statement that he had been to Wannian county government office.

Who can do this for a Huakui who has only met once?

Yuanzai didn't answer positively, but pointed out: "Bao joined the army. I think you can be more honest."

Bao joined the army and his eyes dodged.

Seeing this, Yuanzai decided to take another dose of strong medicine and said slowly, "I have just taken over. I don't know whether the file is in the warehouse. If I join the army and are willing to be honest, Yuanzai is the same."

"By the way, during the Shangyuan Festival, most colleagues take a rest. This file library is under the care of one person..."
