"Now?" Zhongsun Mou stood up immediately, "Let's go."
A few people walked slowly along the lake towards the city, with willows clinging to them and the breeze blowing.
Baishalu receives the cool breeze from the water, and the temperature is lower than other places. It is a well-known summer resort. Even in midsummer in July, you can walk by the lake for a quarter of an hour without sweating through your clothes.
Then, Tianxiang Tower arrived.
This is also one of Bai Shaqian's top restaurants. The price of each signature dish is equivalent to three or two months' salary of an ordinary migrant worker.
Zhongsun Mou climbed up the stairs and saw a familiar face at the best seat by the window.
Sure enough, it was Cen Boqing.
Cen Boqing stood up to greet him, and they exchanged pleasantries before sitting down.
The delicacies are served in a flowing manner.
Zhongsun had no love for human food, and his expression was a little indifferent. However, what was served on the table were all expensive fish and meat, and even emerald crabs were transported thousands of miles from the sea, marinated in rice wine, and the diners lifted the lid and took a sip.
The long paste is like bean curd, but it has the fishy smell of sea water.
Zhongsun Mou had the best bite. He ate two in a row before stopping and said, "That's right. I didn't expect Chiyan Country to have such delicious food."
“There’s no such thing as delicious food, it’s all about the price.”
The two talked about court affairs for a while, and Zhongsun Mou asked Cen Boqing: "Didn't your subordinates find me by chance?" Baishaqiang's place is not small, how can such a random encounter happen?
He guessed it was related to the case he was investigating, after all, the clues were slowly pointing to the northwest of the city.
Zhongsun Mou regretted it a little.
When he first heard that the case of the missing courier had been handed over to Fushan Yue, he intervened. On the one hand, he wanted to make a great contribution, and on the other hand, he wanted to make Fushan more embarrassed.
But I didn't expect that I would be involved this time.
Cen Boqing put down his chopsticks and laughed: "I don't know how your father is doing? I heard that his complexion has been getting better day by day in the past two years."
A flash of displeasure flashed in Zhongsun Mou's eyes. These humans just like to beat around the bush when talking.
Apparently Cen Boqing was reminding him.
"Brother Cen, if you have anything to say, please say it directly."
Cen Boqing sighed: "That's it..."

Three days later, He Lingchuan finally arrived at Baishaqiang.
Along the way, there were endless lakes, seas of grass, and hundreds of thousands of gulls and herons that could cover the sky and the sun. It was a beautiful scenery wherever he looked, but it was a pity that he didn't have time to stop and take a closer look.
As soon as he arrived in Baishaqian, He Lingchuan went to the county government office with Jiao Yu to inform the local magistrate.
He is not familiar with the place where he lives, and if he has any strength, he needs to borrow some strength. He is not a person who likes to rely on his own efforts.
Walking into the county government office and taking a seat, He Lingchuan was about to find a hut as soon as the servants served him tea.
No one can stop this.
He walked alone under the shadow of the high wall, and a small figure jumped down from the top of the wall and landed on his shoulder.
The eyeball spider, which had been missing for several days, finally returned to its original place.
"Why are you here?" As soon as He Lingchuan entered the county government office, he found that he could share the field of vision with the eyeball spider, so he went to a secluded place to pick it up.
Shouldn't this guy follow Zhongsun Mou?
"What, you were discovered?"
"He still wants to kill you? Oh, yes, this guy deserves to die!"
"Then did you gain anything from the first three days of following him?" He Lingchuan couldn't help but pick out his ears. The Eyeball Spider was complaining about his experience, and it was about to make a loud noise in his ears, "No, no, I don't care about you.
, I will definitely say this for you when I turn around!"
The Eyeball Spider was furious, but still conveyed the information very professionally.
When He Lingchuan returned to the hall, County Magistrate Bai Shaqian had arrived and was talking to Jiao Yu. When he saw He Lingchuan, he immediately stepped forward to salute.
This guy's etiquette is even greater than that of Shiraishi County Magistrate of Shibata Township. He bowed so long that his fingertips almost touched the floor.
The waist is quite flexible.
The county magistrate of Baishaqiang, whose surname is Tian, ​​is fat and white, with a pentagonal face. When he smiles, his eyes cannot be found.
He Lingchuan was curious, how could he still touch the ground when he bent down with such a big belly?
But now he is acting like an official, and he is like an old man. He only says single-syllable words like "um, um, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah" when greeting him.
Once the posture is complete, it is like an old man in the officialdom.
Until Magistrate Baishaqian asked about the soul topic: "Is the special envoy here for the murder of the messenger in Lingxu City?"
He Lingchuan was slightly surprised: "How do you know?"
But he suddenly realized: "Oh, have you met Zhongsun Mou?"
"Yes, yes, I met him a few days ago."
He Lingchuan secretly despised it. Aren't the inspectors supposed to be incognito and pay private visits to understand the public sentiment? Zhongsun Mou was diligent in displaying his signboards wherever he went, so why should he be inspected? Isn't it just a matter of arrogance and arrogance on the basis of touring the mountains and rivers?
Still at public expense.
Baishaqian County Magistrate smiled and said: "Master Zhongsun has solved the case and the suspect has been arrested. He will be escorted to Lingxu City soon."
He is the county magistrate of the vassal state, but the other party is the inspector of Lingxu City, who specializes in inspecting officials from various countries, so it is not an issue at the official level.
Even if the county magistrate Baishaqian mentions him, he must be very respectful.
He Lingchuan's surprise was extraordinary: "What did you say, he caught the mastermind?"
After the eyeball spider was driven out, Zhong Sunmou actually solved the case at light speed and captured the main culprit?
So capable?
Tiger Jiaoyu also stood up, his tail twisted like a snake, obviously he was equally surprised.
As soon as He Lingchuan came to his senses, he fired a barrage of questions: "When? Is the main culprit Mr. Mai's boss? What is his identity, where does he live, and how was he arrested?"
"The lower officials did not participate in the inspection and arrest operations. I only knew that the inspection envoy went to the northwest of the city to find clues and grasped the suspect's whereabouts, so he was captured yesterday." Baishaqian County Magistrate praised, "The arrest process was very smooth, and
No damage was caused and no harm was done to others."
He Lingchuan did not answer and only asked Jiao Yu: "What do you think?"
Jiao Yu shook his head: "It's so strange."
"Don't underestimate the inspector. Maybe he caught the real culprit with lightning speed." He Lingchuan asked the county magistrate again, "Who is this culprit?"
"Last night, the person was found out through an overnight trial. His alias in Baishaqiang is Fu Hua, and his real name is Fu Songhua. On the surface, he is a businessman, but in fact, he has several lives on his back. He is a fugitive wanted in Lingxu City many years ago." Baishaqian County.
He was told to carefully consider his words and sentences, "No matter how many words there are, the lower official will not know about them."
He Lingchuan's face softened, his voice became cold, and his aura suddenly became fierce: "There is a murderer in your county. He has been a fugitive for many years, and you actually deny that you don't know?"
Baishaqian County Magistrate's expression froze: "This case is being handled by Mr. Zhongsun, I really can't get involved..."
The inspector of Lingxu City could neither be humble nor overbearing when meeting the demon kings of various countries, how could he dare to make a mistake?
"He is from Lingxu City, and he is not an official of Chiyan Kingdom, nor is he your superior. How can you let him exercise power beyond his duties and still be justified?" He Lingchuan said coldly, "Or, you regard him as your superior, but you don't think he is your superior.
Do you regard Chiyan’s national power, laws, and orders as nothing?”
The county magistrate of Baishaqian was shocked: "I don't dare to lower my rank. Your words are serious, my special envoy!"
He is also a clever person and immediately throws the problem to the other party: "I have also asked twice, but the inspector refused to hand over the suspect to me. My case files cannot be touched, and I don't want to be violent. You,
Do you see it?"
You see how this can be solved, don't just make things difficult for me.
He Lingchuan looked at him steadily. Magistrate Bai Shaqian felt that his gaze was like a sword, as if it could penetrate directly to the bottom of his heart. The pressure increased little by little, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"You, the county magistrate of Baishajian, are quite comfortable. You just welcome people and send them off, and you don't offend anyone."
The county magistrate did not dare to answer the call.
The scenery of Baishaqiang is pleasant, warm in winter and cool in summer. High-ranking officials and dignitaries often come to stay for a while. As a small county magistrate, he has to face dignitaries from all over the world from time to time. If his body is not soft, he can sit here all the time.
