C279

Riding on this snow, I think of Peter, the feeling of flying is really good! This snow-treading pace was not for nothing. It only took a few days to arrive in Hangzhou. Ordinary horses would need at least a month …

Hangzhou is very big and very busy. Where can I find Liu Yu and Sun Qi? It seemed that he could only inquire, so he smiled at a woman not too far away and said, "Big Sis, let me ask you something. Do you know that there is a scholar here named Liu Yu? Or tell me the address of Sun Qi, the tea merchant. "

When the woman saw me ask her, her face immediately flushed red. Then she covered her face with a handkerchief and said, "I don't know who Liu Yu is, but Sun Qi, the tea merchant, passed away from illness two years ago … Oh, the Liu Yu that you mentioned couldn't be his son-in-law. I know, he has already been in prison for more than a year. "

Eh? What was this situation? I thanked Big Sis for rushing straight to the yamen, and when I arrived at the yamen, I was stunned. Raising my head to look at the wide door, there were two stone lions standing by the door, and yamen napping against the stone lion. I looked to my left and right to make sure that I had not made a mistake, then dismounted and walked forward.

"May I ask if the old master is here?" I cupped my fists as I said politely.

The yamen on the left looked at me and said, "Who are you? But did you come to complain? "

Seeing that they were lazy, and their high spirits were in stark contrast to Kaifeng Mansion, he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not reveal it on the surface: "I am the constable of Kaifeng Mansion, I seek to meet Master Li."

Kaifeng Mansion's reputation was really great. When the yamen heard me, he immediately perked up and sized me up: "Please wait a moment, I'll go inside to notify them."

After a while, Li Mu Ting walked out. The man was on par with Zhan Zhao, the Wind God was like jade, but he had a pair of starry eyes, while he had a pair of narrow phoenix-like eyes that shone with brilliance as they opened and closed. "It had the air of a schemer, as if it were a man named Sun Tzu.

He stepped out of the door and sized me up with a smile. "You're indeed a phoenix among men. Benefactor is full of good generals!"

I replied humbly, a little embarrassed, "No need for that. The disciples of Package Master are the dragons and phoenixes among men. How can I possibly compare to them?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he invited me to the Flower Hall. This place was much more grand than the Kaifeng Mansion, it was filled with exquisite decorations, and even before the lid of the tea leaves had been opened, I could smell the rich fragrance. I was moved and casually asked, "How much is Sir's salary?"

Hearing that, Li Muting was startled, then he squinted his eyes and laughed: "I am not good, I am only at two hundred and twenty silver."

I sighed and said, "It's still better to be a high official. I only have ten taels, and I still owe Kaifeng Mansion 50 taels."

Li Muting put down his teacup and laughed: "Kaifeng Mansion is a Qing Shui yamen, otherwise, this Hangzhou Palace's ordinary yamen would not have been able to earn more than 10 taels of silver per month." After saying that, he intentionally glanced at me a few times.

I heard that she pretended to be excited at first before saying dejectedly, "It's a pity, then Gongsun Ce insisted that I not leave until Kai Feng has paid the debt. Otherwise, I would have come to seek help from Master Li."

I knew that he was scheming in his heart, so I presented Bao Zheng's letter. After seeing him read it, I said: "I wonder why Liu Yu was locked in the prison?" Li Muting sighed and said: Back then, when his wife ran away with him, he was so angry that he poisoned Sun Qi. After Sun Qi died, the coroner found out that he was afflicted with a chronic poison, but only Liu Yu was able to get close to Sun Qi, so he brought him back to be interrogated. "My apologies, but I was unable to find out the circumstances of the case. Therefore, I had no choice but to lock him up in the prison. Thus, the case was put off forever."

has always used this term, he acts very modest, but I would rather have him be arrogant. I thought for a moment and said, "Can you let me see Liu Yu in the prison? I just want to tell his wife that he has died in a foreign land and how his corpse is being dealt with."

Li Muting very generously agreed, and brought me to the prison, but who would have thought that this prison was even more imposing than the Kaifeng Mansion, my heart was very gloomy. There weren't many people in the cell, and they were all huddled quietly in the corner. When I reached the furthest room, I saw a man in a white prison uniform. His eyes were hollow, his face haggard, and his hands were devoid of fingers. Both of them had been severed at their roots. When I went in, he didn't move, and if I hadn't seen the rise and fall of his chest I would have thought it was a corpse. I glanced at his hand. The cut was neat and smooth, the healing complete, and it looked like it had been cut off in one stroke.

I squatted beside him and said, "I'm Kaifeng Mansion's constable, I'm here to deliver Sun Yingying's corpse to you."

The moment Liu Yu heard the three words' Sun Yingying ', his eyes immediately lit up as he stared at the small coffin on my back. I took it off and put it in his hands, and he held the coffin and cried. After crying, he looked up at me and made a sound, and I saw that the tongue in his mouth was bitten off by his own teeth, not a blade. Looking at him, I could tell that he wanted to ask how Sun Yingying died, so I told him the whole story.

Hearing this, Liu Yu laughed and cried. I didn't know how to persuade him, but Li Muting came over and said: "Let's go, he cannot speak, and his hands cannot write.

I nodded and patted Li Muting's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, they are doing very well now. The most important thing is that you are doing well.

Liu Yu heard this and shook her head. My hand moved, and something was shoved into it. Looking at Liu Yu's pleading eyes, I sighed and followed Li Muting out of the cell.

I sneaked a glance at the item in my hand. It was actually a copper coin. I couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed. Having come all the way to deliver his wife's corpse, he got a tip for it. Luckily, it was also money, so he kept it.

Li Muting looked at the color of the sky and said to me, "I will invite Brother Long to Hundred Flavors Tower to help you wash your clothes, and also to introduce a few friends to you, is that alright?"

Since there was food to eat, I was naturally happy. Thus, I happily said, "Alright, alright. However, it will be a waste if I were to beat someone up."

After arriving at the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, I sighed once again. Li Muting asked, "Why do you sigh, Brother Long?"

I dejectedly replied, "Kaifeng has never entered such a luxurious place before."

Li Muting laughed but did not speak, I hate him laughing like that. This restaurant was very special. It had a total of three floors. The lobby was on the first floor, a private room was on the second floor, and the third floor was reserved for wealthy and influential people. The room we were sitting in was the most luxurious one on the third floor, with white walls and red doors, rosewood tables and chairs. In front of the screen, there were all kinds of pigments. He was confused, so he asked, "Sir Li, why is there a blank screen here?"
