At dinner time in Lingjiang Mansion, cooking smoke curled up, and Wan Yan smelled the aroma of food in the air, unconsciously curling up the corners of her mouth.

The adult walked beside her, tall and handsome.

"What are you looking at me for?" Su Jizhi also lowered his head slightly, feeling Wan Yan's gaze, and whispered softly.

"I didn't!"

Wan Yan looked away and looked into the distance, her smile deepened.

His hands tightened, and the adult's big hand grabbed it: "Come on, let's go to the Canglan River to have a look."

Let the adult's generous palm wrap her, Wan Yan lowered her eyes.

The two inquired about the small vendors on the corner of the street, and walked south along the road. Soon, a row of noisy shacks appeared not far away.

There are many wooden boats parked here and there in Jiangwan.

The smell of stewed fish floats in the air...

Wan Yan likes this kind of messy and lively city life.

"My lord, the smell of stewed fish is really delicious."

Su Jizhi smiled slightly: "I'll take you to eat braised river fish later."

"I like to go out, and adults often have a smile on their faces when I go out."

"I'm usually serious?"

"Of course, I used to be very afraid of adults."

"now what?"

Wan Yan smiled: "My lord promised me that I will eat fish later."

Shaking her little hands, Wan Yan's smile was more beautiful than Jiangwan's sparkling sparks.

The two continued east along the wooden trestle bridge, stopping and going.

The sky was already dark, and candle lights were lit on the wooden canopy boat. Looking at the stars from a distance, they swayed gently with the ups and downs of the river.

The people on the wooden boat were talking, laughing and yelling, and the men who were punching and drinking gathered together, their laughter flew over the wooden boat and met the stars and the moon.

"Sir, where are we going?"

"Go and meet those who are familiar with Zhao Ren."

"How does your lord know who Zhao Ren is familiar with?"

Su Jizhi chuckled: "I've read the files. Zhao Ren's boat with a wooden canopy usually stops at the mouth of the second river bay. His family has been fishermen for generations. Many people must know about it."

Wan Yan patted her forehead: "I am sometimes smart and sometimes foolish, and what about Zhao Yi? Why did I forget? Let's just talk about the elder brother of Police Officer Zhao from Lingjiang Mansion, how could he not ask?"

Wan Yan was annoyed, "No matter how bad it is, let's say that the person who was arrested in the murder case must be known to everyone."

Su Jizhi smiled deeply: "Wan Yan may be hungry, but you can't do it as a last resort."

Wan Yan clutched her stomach, pretending to be coquettish: "My lord, I am so hungry that I am so hungry that my brain doesn't work? Also, why doesn't my method work?" Wan Yan stopped walking, leaning against the railing of the wooden plank road, A look of confusion to be solved.

"You think, we are investigating secretly. If the other party knows that we are here for the case, they may not be able to tell the truth."

Wan Yan understood, "Some people are afraid of taking responsibility, some people are afraid of trouble, and some people may really know the truth but just wait and see?"

The little girl tilted her head, serious: "That's right, knowing that the government is here to investigate the case, everyone has their own schemes, but I smell the food is really delicious, and I will eat two bowls of rice soon."

"Not to mention two bowls of rice, one pot of rice is fine."

Wan Yan's face turned red in the darkness, "Sir, do you think I'm a pig?"

"I do not have."

The two of them romped and walked down the wooden plank road.

This is a sheltered bay where more than a dozen wooden boats are docked.

Seeing strangers, the boatmen of several wooden boats all looked at the two of them.

Su Jizhi closed his smile, and whispered in Wan Yan's ear, "We are husband and wife now, and we are going to rent a boat to Tongshan Mansion, and you will call me husband in a while."

This is the second time the lord has asked Wan Yan to call him Mr. Wang in the name of investigating the case.

Before Wan Yan objected, the adult had already held her hand, with a straight face, striding towards the nearest wooden boat to them.

The boatman was a big man with a black face. He thought that business was coming, so he jumped off the boat and said, "You two, do you want to take a boat?"

"Yes, I want to take my wife to visit relatives in Tongshan Mansion in a few days. The land route is slow, and the water route can save time. How about it? Brother, what price?"

The boatman looked at Su Jizhi, thought to himself, and finally stretched out his hand and made a ten.

"Twelve taels? Deal." Su Jizhi didn't counter-offer, the boatman grinned and sang in his heart.

Fortunately, he was clever just now. Seeing the two people in front of him dressed expensively and asking for two taels of silver, he didn't expect the man to immediately agree.

The boatman likes this kind of generous guest the most. He is satisfied and with a smile on his face, the boatman asked, "My lord, when do you two want to leave?"

"How about in three days?"

"no problem."

When the boatman's wife heard that she had made another order, she came over with a bowl of fish and two bottles of wine in her hand, "Sir, why don't you let the guests have some dinner? I put chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and chrysanthemum chrysanthemum on the fresh fish just out of the pan today." Wide powder."

Su Jizhi looked at Wan Yan.

The little girl's eyes rested on the fish in the pot, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, "Master, the boatman's kindness is hard to turn down, and we haven't eaten yet, why don't we just obey orders?"

In fact, Wan Yan wanted to say from the bottom of her heart, the adults brought me to investigate the case, how could I give up this good opportunity to inquire about the news?

The boatman was hospitable, and he waved his hand, "Miss, fill up the wine, I will hand over to this master."

The boat lady is a woman in her 30s, exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and her complexion is darker than ordinary women. Life on the water has cultivated her hearty personality and strong physique.

Seeing Wanyan's consent, Chuanniang rubbed her hands happily, "That's great, we are not that particular about it, as long as my wife doesn't despise the simple, I still have confidence in my craftsmanship."

The boat lady supported Wanyan's arm and let her into the cabin, "Come on, you little couples sit here, I'll get some tableware. It's also fate that we can sit and drink together."

The boat lady was chattering, and the boatman had already filled up the wine.

Su Jizhi was sitting on the side of the boat with his long legs half curled up. With his movements, the wooden boat was shaking slightly.

Wan Yan was a little nervous.

The boatman laughed, "Ma'am, don't be afraid, the boat stops here, even if a storm comes, you will be fine."

Su Jizhi explained, "My wife is not from Lingjiang Prefecture. She rarely took a boat before. After she married me, she only took a boat a few times, so she was inevitably nervous."

The boat lady came out with the bowls and chopsticks and comforted Wan Yan, "Your husband is right, you don't have to be afraid. I have lived on the boat since I was a child. Look, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Wan Yan shyly thought, this is a good opportunity to inquire about things, and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Living since childhood? Is it true that one side raises one side? Is it the same here before? My husband and I walked from the front, as if there is no other side here." It's hilarious."

"Oh, you're right, our side is a little far from the pier, and the guests who are in a hurry for a short distance are all intercepted by the front. Those who can come here are all guests like Madam."

Wan Yan likes to chat, and is even more curious about what the boat lady is thinking, "Oh? What about my husband and I?"

The boat lady smiled heartily, "If you have time, you are not short of money."

How come Su Ji's support is not short of money?He is still supported by Wanyan.

"The boatman is wrong. My husband took me by water to save money." Wan Yan whispered softly, and the boat lady laughed when she heard it. "Little madam is really humorous. Come and taste the fish I cooked."

The boat lady was very particular. A big fish had been divided into four bowls and placed in front of Wan Yan and Su Jizhi respectively.

"I scalded the bowls and chopsticks with hot water, so you can use them with confidence."

Wan Yan and Su Jizhi thanked each other with a smile.

The breeze from the river estuary is coming slowly, the smell of wine is tangy, the boats are floating on the riverside, and the candlelight seems to be the same color as the water and the sky.
