Chapter 25

Situ Ce could not have imagined that this would be the case. He looked at the Dongchang man leaving in a little surprised and looked at Helanbing.

He Lanbing was also looking at him and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Yanagawa's magic was so clever. If I had known this, I wouldn't have to force myself to stand out."

"Where?" Situ Ce said while tidying up the tables and chairs: "They are afraid of your uncle. By the way, who is your uncle? Why are even the people from the East Factory afraid of him?"

"It's nothing." He Lanbing smiled and turned around: "Are they afraid of your magic? If they know that you are a Taoist with wise magic, they will not dare to touch you anymore. - Dongchang is not afraid of anyone, but they just dare not provoke Taoist priests. Otherwise, if the emperor knows, they will be miserable."

"Oh? So there are such benefits to being a Taoist priest?"

"That's right, if you have this skill, why don't you go to the Guanxian Pavilion in Beijing, you will definitely be able to make a fortune."

Situ Ce actually didn't understand Taoism at all, so he dared not have that idea. He smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't want to, it's better to be free and at ease."

As he was talking, the fat shopkeeper shrank into the house timidly and said, "Master, no, nothing is wrong, right?"

"It's okay, please tell me to serve the food quickly, I'm hungry."

"Okay!" The fat shopkeeper hurriedly retreated. At this time, he heard the sound of the stairs again. Yin Yadan and Tang Tang rushed upstairs, entered the door, and asked nervously: "I heard that the people from the East Factory are here, nothing is wrong, right?"

He Lanbing said angrily: "You don't come when you have something to do, but you don't come when you have nothing to do. Why are you asking?"

Tang Tang blushed and said, "Master, as soon as we received the waiter's greeting, we rushed over immediately without stopping at all."

"Okay, I know, let's sit down. Let's not talk about this anymore, it's a shame. Let's have a drink!"

The banquet came soon, and the unexpected victory against Dongchang for the first time made Situ Ce very happy and started drinking.

Helanbing and Tang Tang had average alcohol content. After eating only a few cups, Hongxia was on her face. However, Yin Yadan had a very good alcohol content. She followed Situ Ce and the others to drink, and was very happy.

Another half month passed.

On this day, Situ Ce and Helanbing were reviewing the case files in the study. The doorman came to report that the magistrate had invited him.

The two of them quickly put down the file, put their clothes on, and walked towards the magistrate's house. The door quickly said, "Master, please ask the two masters to meet in the flower hall of the front yamen."

The flower hall is the reception room used by the yamen to receive distinguished guests. It is not necessary to expect that Cai Zhixian would meet two people here. He Lanbing pondered for a moment and asked the door: "Is there any distinguished guests here? The magistrate asked us to meet?"

"yes."

"who?"

Menzi swallowed and said three words with some difficulty: "Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

He Lanbing was shocked and looked at Situ Ce. Situ Ce waved his hand and signaled that it was okay. If the Jinyiwei was coming to cause trouble for them, there was no need to wait in the flower hall and just take the people directly. The Jinyiwei of the small county yamen didn't take it seriously.

He Lanbing immediately figured out this point, and immediately tidied up his clothes and said, "Didn't you say anything?"

The doorzi smiled and said, "I don't know about this young man, but the eldest master asked the young man to come and invite the two masters to meet. Nothing else said."

Both Jinyiwei and Dongchang acted as domineering, did their own thing, and did not deal with the local county government at all, so they rarely interacted with them. They came to visit suddenly today, but they didn't know why. The two of them thought about the Wang Qiang case almost at the same time. Could it be that it was a matter of this?

Thinking about his thoughts, the two followed the door to the front yamen flower hall.

Four Jinyiwei stood at the entrance of the flower hall, dressed brightly, pressed his hands on his waist and looked straight.

The two stepped in and saw a fat man sitting in the upper middle of the flower hall. He didn't leave and gasped. He supported his knees with both hands, was wearing a flying fish suit, and embroidered with spring swords on his waist and hips. He had a horizontal flesh on his face. At this moment, Yan Yuese was talking and laughing with Cai Zhixian.

Cai Zhixian looked panicked and felt flattered. He half pulled his butt on the corner of the chair, nodded and bowed, listening to the fat man's eyebrows and said something.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Cai Zhixian felt relieved and quickly stood up and said, "Two gentlemen, please come here, the students will introduce them to you, this one." He pointed to the carefree fat man, "It is the hundred households of Jinyiwei in Zhenhai County, Lord Zhong Bingzhi, Lord Zhong. Lord Zhong, these two are the master of Zheng Mingshi in our yamen. This is a double surname Helan, whose name is Bing and whose name is Furong; this is a double surname Situ, whose name is Liuchuan."

Situ Ce and the others bowed and bowed: "Meet the Lord Baihu."

Helanbing is a figure in Zhenhai County. Zhong Bingzhi, a hundred household of Jinyiwei, recognized it. It was only the first time Situ Ce met. He couldn't help but look at him, laughed to the sky, then stood up, bowed and returned the greeting: "I don't dare to take it, please sit down, two gentlemen!"

The two of them sat down on the chairs on the left and right sides of the lower heads and lifted their robes.

Zhong Bingzhi said to Cai Zhixian County: "The magistrate is busy with official business, so don't have to greet us here, please."

County Magistrate Cai immediately understood and quickly stood up to salute: "Then you are busy with your humble position and say goodbye!" As he said that, he quickly walked out as if he was relieved.

The servants on both sides also obediently retreated and brought the door with them.

Zhong Bingzhi blew and said, "Mr. Situ has solved several cases since he arrived in Zhenhai County. I heard that the teacher is good at solving cases with magic, and can also use thunder in his palm. He releases lightning with both hands, snatches his eyes, and shoots thunder in his palm. The person who hits the ground immediately falls to the ground and twitches. The bear from the East Factory ate his palm and falls to the ground and cannot rise up. He is willing to worship Mr. as his grandfather. Hahaha, Mr. Taoism is really so clever."

Situ Ce also bowed and said humbly. He was secretly shocked. The Jinyiwei knew a lot about him, but he knew nothing about them. He didn't know what they meant to inquire about him so clearly.

Zhong Bingzhi took a few breaths and said, "I heard that a month ago, the county government investigated a case in a trench ten miles outside the eastern suburbs of the city, and dug out an unknown body with scars all over his body. I wonder if this is the case?" After that, his eyes were bright and bright, and he looked at Situ Ce.

Situ Ce said calmly: "Yes, that's the case."

"I don't know who killed the corpse with scars all over the body. Have the two masters found out?"

Situ Ce's mind flashed: Wang Qiang, the deceased, was tortured to death by the Dongchang Factory, and the Dongchang fought openly and secretly with the Jinyiwei. Even if he investigated the case himself, it was the Dongchang instead of the Jinyiwei. Now the Jinyiwei came to ask, and it was definitely not for the Dongchang Factory. Seeing his attitude, it was not like he was provoking a crime. Instead of denying it, it would be better to admit it. The bet was Zhong Bingzhi's purpose.

Thinking of this, Situ Ce said: "When I found an unknown body in Zhenhai County, there were scars all over my body. That must be investigated, otherwise I would not have any explanation to the people or the court."

Zhong Bingzhi looked at Situ Ce with great interest: "Well, it makes sense. Did the master find out?"
