Hundreds of torches illuminated the lights here in Zuixianju and Penglai Pavilion. With Meng Yue's order, all the constables in the capital were dispatched and more than 300 people gathered.

Master Yan Ge has brought Yan Xilou back to Yan Mansion and asked Meng Yue to give an explanation before dawn tomorrow. Meng Yue stood in front of everyone and said, Comrades, a human tragedy occurred in Penglai Pavilion tonight. The old man Yan Ge was killed here. His superiors issued an order to dig three feet of the ground and find the murderer. This work is tight, time is heavy, and you are all elites of the Six Gates. I believe you can do it, do you have confidence?

A few people replied sparsely, "Yes, there are flip-flops, and it shows how much resentment the constables are tonight." Meng Yue pointed to a leader in front of him. Song Youde, you won't have to go to work tomorrow."

Then Song You pounced on his knees and said, "Sir, I have confidence."

Meng Yue said lightly, you have confidence, but I don’t have confidence in you. As he said that, he ordered people to lift it out. Then he glanced at everyone and asked, do you have confidence?

More than three hundred constables shouted in unison, yes!

Meng Yue nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's only three feet, but it's not enough to be less than an inch. Let's start. After that, he walked to other courtyards to have tea. Liu Qingfeng said in surprise, "This is going to work." He knew it was futile. I said, why do you care about so much? You're not asking you to work."

The leader of the constable began to urge everyone to work. Someone complained, "Why are you digging a hole if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? Not to mention digging three feet, even if you dig three feet, you can't find the murderer!

An older constable said that this is the time to test our execution ability. It seems that Ge Lao Yan was forced to force him, but Captain Meng wanted to use today's matter to establish his authority.

What did you say before?

The older constable said, do you know how Chief Meng rose to the forefront? At that time, there were many talents from the six gates, and the four famous captains were influential. But what happened later? Wuqing went to work in the Disabled Persons' Federation, chased his life to be the head of the urban management, and became a blacksmith in the iron hand, and sold duck blood at the door of the store cold blood. Which of the four famous captains did not bring out the ten streets of abuse Chief Meng, but why did Chief Meng rise up?

The young detective asked quickly, yes, the four famous detectives and fighting spirit masters were famous all over the world, and they all thought that the chief detective was promoted from those four people. At that time, Captain Meng was just a clerk in the Six Gate Office. Why is that?

The older detective paused for a moment, and a young detective quickly handed over a cigarette and lit the fire.

After spitting out a mouthful of smoke rings, he slowly said that the reason why the chief constable achieved today is his execution ability. Once, the emperor invited more than 30 second-rank ministers, but there was only one Eight Immortals table that could not even sit at six people. Several managers said they could not do it, but Chief Meng relied on the emperor's words.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Oral orders, ordering more than thirty big men to line up, each with a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks, and circle around the Eight Immortals table to eat. Each person holds the bowls and chopsticks and scoops a spoonful, eat as he walks, and turn back in circles and add dishes.

The young detective said in surprise, isn’t that nonsense?

You think it's nonsense, but after one month, Meng Yue became the director of the Liushemen office. What do you rely on? His hands and eyes are flexible and he does things properly! You think these things are stupid, but those who really become leaders are promoted by doing stupid things for their leaders. Why do the four famous arresters end up so miserably? It's because they are too smart!

Liu Qingfeng and I were stunned. This was simply a warning. Liu Qingfeng handed over a cigarette in succession and said that hearing what you said is better than eating shit for ten years!

The older constable said again that there are so many things that seem ridiculous in the world. People with discerning eyes can tell at a glance that it is inappropriate. Why are there so many people scrambling to do it because these can distinguish people's hearts and superiors also consider it. There are so many smart people, and it's the same for everyone to use. Why don't I use those obedient ones?

A leader came over and coughed twice. Why are you chewing on the tongue? Why don’t you dig a hole quickly! As soon as the man came, the captains scattered and said with a loud bang, dig the hole quickly, maybe the next chief of captain is you!

A detective sneered, "We can't be the chief constable, you see, who else is there! A dark-skinned man not far away was digging a hole in a stern manner, shouting, "Hey!" Zhang Juzheng, you are not a graduate of the excavator major at Lanxiang Technical School. Think of a way to dig faster. Maybe in two years, you will be the chief constable. After that, he laughed a few times and found a secluded place to smoke.

When I came to Dongting Pavilion and found Meng Yue for tea, I said that digging like this is not a solution.

Meng Yue laughed and said, "I have to explain this matter to the cabinet master. Whether to do it or not is an attitude problem. Whether to do it or not is a problem of ability. The two natures are different. The ability can be bad, but the attitude cannot be wrong!" Then he smiled inexplicably, "Do I have to investigate thoroughly and find the murderer?"

I shook my head and said, forget it, I think digging a hole is good, it will strengthen your body and prolong your life.

A rumbling sound came from Penglai Pavilion, and a shout came. Meng Yue said something might have happened behind him, so she went over and took a look. When she came to Penglai Pavilion, she saw Zhang Juzheng holding a hammer and smashing the courtyard wall of Penglai Pavilion.

Meng Yue said why did you stop?

I came down to report that Zhang Juzheng went crazy and said that he wanted to demolish Penglai Pavilion. Zhang Juzheng said that since he was digging three feet into the ground, there was naturally no need for this pavilion to exist.

Meng Yue nodded and said angrily to everyone, "What are you looking at, don't you do it yet!" Then everyone went up to tear down the towers.

Meng Yue looked at Zhang Juzheng. The progress was slower than I expected. What can you do?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Ju Zheng said that this problem is mainly because there is no incentive mechanism, and everyone cannot mobilize their initiative. For example, driving everyone out and hiding a gold ingot in the yard. Whoever digs it out will belong to whoever belongs, then he will definitely be motivated.

Meng Yue smiled and said, "This idea is good, but if it were me, I wouldn't even need gold ingots. Just tell them that there are gold ingots here. I said this trick is good to quench thirst and draw cakes to satisfy your hunger."

Meng Yue asked, what are your name?

The villain Zhang Juzheng.

Well, let’s go to the office to be an errand.

The next day, the entire Penglai Pavilion was dug three feet away. Meng Yue looked at it and said that he could go to Ge Yan to report his life. Half an hour later, Meng Heitan was full of anger and ordered everyone to find the murderer, so he continued to dig!

The constable dug for a long time and said that he could not find the gold ingot! Meng Yue said, that's because you didn't work hard enough, so I'll dig it for me!

Four hundred constables, in less than half a day, dug Penglai Pavilion into Penglai Lake, becoming the only artificial lake in the capital. Several years later, this land was auctioned at a sky-high price, and the surrounding housing prices rose. For this reason, Meng Yue was also given a house by the developer. This is not to be mentioned later.

I said it was almost done. Meng Yue said why are you so anxious? Maybe you will be surprised in a while. As everyone was digging, a sound of surprise suddenly came. Liu Qingfeng said, have you touched the gold ingot?

Meng Yue said let’s go and have a look.

There were no golden ingots? More than forty white bones were dug out in the courtyard of Penglai Pavilion. The skulls of those people fell down. It was obvious that they had been beheaded when they were buried here.

The bones are thick and cold.

I looked at Meng Yue with a confused look on my face.

Meng Yue said lightly that twenty years ago, Zhang Youguang, the then Minister of Rites, was executed by all the family, and forty-three people in the mansion were buried here.

Author's words:

There is another chapter in the second half of the night.

In October, "Central Plains Traveler" will be serialized to one million words. Thank you for your support along the way. I am very pleased to see that praise is greater than slander. I originally wanted to hit the monthly ticket list in September, but I encountered double monthly tickets, so I had to give up. In October, one million words, and three visuals impacted the next monthly ticket list. I beg you to give the precious guaranteed monthly ticket to Sanguan next month, which is considered to be my support. If you can give me rewards, Sanguan is even more grateful!

"The Traveler" originally planned to end with 1.2 million words, and then discuss with the editor and book friends. It is planned to expand the number of words to about 1.5 million words. Friends who like it hope to subscribe and support it. Also, report something to you. The film and television adaptation rights of this book have been sold, and the quality is guaranteed, and it is definitely not eunuch or hydrology.
