The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 105 Goodbye Luo Xiu at Xinghualou
When I first joined Yin, the first round of curfew began.

Zheng Nian was really worried, so he didn't go home. When he walked out of the Yamen, he saw Fu Yuhuan standing not far away.

Tong'er stood beside him, her mouth pursed, her face full of grievances.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Master!" Tong'er said dejectedly, "I visited the last cultivation school today, but no one is willing to accept me to practice in the mansion. The threshold in this capital is too high."

Zheng Nian snorted, "Your brother's cultivation is very good, why don't you practice with him? Why don't you just worship him as your teacher?"

"I can't cultivate qi in my body, I can only practice Taoism, so I found a cultivation school, but now I can't find this way to cultivate Taoism, alas..." Tong'er sighed, "What should I do?"

"Can't cultivate Qi?" Zheng Nian was a little puzzled, thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow you come to the Temple of Good and Evil to find me, and I will help you find out why."

"Oh!" Seeing that Zheng Nian and Fu Yuhuan were going to patrol the streets, Tong'er walked into the yamen with low eyebrows.

Children should be strong, they didn't show anything in front of adults, and they didn't squat down at the corner and cry until they entered the gate of the mansion.

At this time, Zheng Nian and Fu Yuhuan had already walked away.

"You're right, there are a lot of strange people in the capital." Zheng Nian said, "Now there are more and more strange people. I went out before dinner and passed a tea stall. I just met Qipin There are seven or eight of them, and they all have unfamiliar faces, and their clothes are also strange."

As he walked, he continued, "Dragon's birthday is imminent, and this kind of thing must be prevented."

"People from Jingzhao Mansion came today." Fu Yuhuan said indifferently, "A few people were taken away."

"I know." Zheng Nian nodded, "Xu Zhu and Wang Dabiao also followed to Jingzhao Mansion, now we have no useful people left except those officials."

"I have to make up for you." Fu Yuhuan said softly.

"Put up a notice tomorrow and recruit some people," Zheng Nian said.

According to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first round of curfew at Yinshi is a curfew between the square and the city, and no one is allowed to enter or exit the square.

The second round of curfew was three quarters of Yin time, after which no one was allowed to move around in the shop.

The third round of curfew is that the gates of the city are closed, and no one is allowed to move around in the square.

The official quarters are basically the mansions of officials, so for them, the third round of curfew is considered a problem, and no one abides by the first and second rounds.

So the two chose the third round before appearing at the gate of Guanfang.

The area here is very large, one official residence is equivalent to the size of seven to eight private residences, and each person's courtyard is also very large, but after all, it is the residence of ordinary officials, and it is not grand enough for an official residence to be as large as a private residence. .

"That's it." Fu Yuhuan stood outside a fence.

Zheng Nian hung up on one foot, climbed directly onto the beam, squatted on the roof of the tiled roof and looked into the courtyard.

At this time, the courtyard was brightly lit, several children were playing, the maids and servants were looking after, and the adults were not at home.

The three side rooms are all dark, and although the main hall is brightly lit by candles, there are no people moving around.

"It's probably drinking flowers and wine outside." Zheng Nian said, "The current curfew can only control the common people, but not these high-ranking officials. They are not at home, and they are happy to go out to play their own things."

"The last time when Zhang Lie was away, when Zhang Lie came back, he said goodbye to a few people who seemed to be good friends at the door of the house, saying that he would go to Xinghualou to enjoy the moon next time." Fu Yuhuan said.

Zheng Nian nodded, "Let's go."

Xinghualou is in the city, so there is no curfew.

The high courtyard wall isolates everything outside, like two worlds inside and outside.

Zheng Nian and Fu Yuhuan changed into plain clothes and walked straight into Xinghualou.

It was the old bustard Luo Xiu who greeted her.

Luo Xiu's face turned dark when he saw Zheng Nian. If there weren't too many people, he might have picked up a knife and hit him.

Walking over with a smile, he giggled and said with a standard laugh, "Yo yo yo, I said that the magpies have been barking non-stop since I got up early today. It turns out that a nobleman came to the door. Mr. Zheng, don't come here without any harm."

"You come here often." Fu Yuhuan said.

"Occasionally." Zheng Nian greeted him with a smile.

The two shook hands cordially, like friends they haven't seen for a long time.

Luo Xiu wrapped her arms around Zheng Nian's waist, and leaned her whole body up. While smirking, she gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to kill you, so you came here to die?"

Zheng Nian also grinned and said, "Don't come here without any harm!" Then he lowered his voice, "Don't frighten me, try touching me here, Master can twist your head three times."

"Stinky boy, you didn't execute me and came here to be an eyesore, and I will poison you later." Luo Xiu smiled as she walked past a group of guests, and led Zheng Nian upstairs.

"Stop pretending, be careful I'll spoil your situation." Zheng Nian also had a smirk on his face, and the two talked to each other until they entered the guest room on the fourth floor. After Luo Xiu looked at Fu Yuhuan coldly, he turned He locked it outside, and he and Zheng Nian entered the house.

The door closes.

Luo Xiu shouted, "It's a good thing you didn't tell me about me, otherwise I would definitely go to the yamen to fight with you. How many girls are here? It's enough to ruin your family style, and then I'll kill you and smoke you." Wrap your intestines twenty times around your neck."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you, I'm here to find someone." Zheng Nian took a sip of his tea, rolled her eyes and said.

"Looking for someone?" Luo Xiu sat next to Zheng Nian, "You took away the most beautiful lady here, and now you come here to find someone? Let me tell you, there are rules here, but any guest who has redeemed the girl here, is it right?" The receptionist, whoever you are, if you have the ability to wear an official uniform, I will kowtow to you."

"I'm here to find a man." Zheng Nian said helplessly.

"Don't engage in Longyang here, let's go to Guangyu Tower." Luo Xiu said angrily.

"I'm looking for the son of the Minister of Industry, Zhang Lie." Zheng Nian put the teacup on the table and said with a smile, "I know he's here."

Luo Xiu leaned forward and walked in front of Zheng Nian, bowed her body forward, and said with a smile, "Rules, inquire about information, one question, one tael of silver."

"You cannibal." Zheng Nian said angrily, "I'll come in official uniform tomorrow."

"I'll return it to you when you come in official uniform. It's different now. Be careful if someone sues you for embezzlement, Mr. Zheng." Luo Xiu snorted and put the handkerchief on her lips.

Zheng Nian took out a tael of silver and put it on the table, "Where is Zhang Lie?"

"Backyard." Luo Xiu grabbed the silver and bit it before giving up, "If you want to go, I'll take you there, but you have to promise me that you won't argue."

"Ask the county magistrate for help, one tael of silver." Zheng Nian said.

"You!" Luo Xiu gritted her teeth, "The assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry is not easy to mess with. The affairs of the Ministry of Rites are still hidden here. Don't mess with me."

"Say it, anyway, I can confess you directly." Zheng Nian put his legs on the table, with an air of swearing, "Would you like to fight for the life of the two of us?"

Luo Xiu threw the one tael of silver to Zheng Nian.

She didn't have the confidence to fight him.

Zheng Nian didn't take the silver, but put the silver on the table again, "I still have to ask you a question."

"Say." Luo Xiu looked at Zheng Nian whose expression suddenly became serious, and said softly.

"What are robbery and crow?" Zheng Nian asked.

"You are the county magistrate, don't you know?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Master only has a few words in the record. I checked it, and there is nothing too apt to describe it, only their evil deeds." Zheng Nian said.

"This matter requires extra money." Luo Xiu sat beside Zheng Nian and poured tea for the two of them.

Zheng Nian took out twelve taels and put them on the table, "Is that enough?"

"Of course it's enough." Luo Xiu pocketed the money, "I'll take you to meet someone, you can ask him anything."

"Okay." Zheng Nian stood up.
