Mountains and rivers are in her palm

Chapter 414 Try the water today, come back tomorrow
In the hot summer, the trees on both sides of the road are sparsely shaded, which can't block the sun that is going to kill people.

A carriage slowly shuttled through layers of heat waves.

It wasn't a horse, it was a black donkey pulling the carriage, and the donkey's hot tongue was sticking out all the time.

"Young master, it's too hot today, and the donkey can't bear it anymore. There is a county town ahead, let's rest." Uncle Wang was sitting outside the donkey cart. .

The youth is rich and handsome, and he is dressed in white clothes. Isn't this our former Xiliang City Lord Ji Yuntai.

Ji Yuntai resigned from his post as City Lord of Xiliang City, citing his poor health.

All the way from the capital to visit the mountains and rivers, I plan to return to Penglai Xiandao.

Uncle Wang is already sweating profusely.

But Ji Yuntai was already dry as if nothing had happened. He waved the folding fan in his hand, with the word "Merry" written on it.

"Wait a little longer, I guess we should arrive in half an hour." Ji Yuntai flipped through the map: "I've never been to this place before, it's called Lu County."

He squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "I heard that the snacks in Lu County are excellent. Uncle Wang, we just have a good fortune."

Uncle Wang touched his pocket, feeling a little dry.

"The young master has spent all the money for eating, drinking and drinking along the way, and I guess there is only one money left for staying in the inn." It may be a little difficult to live a more comfortable life.

It's hard for a hero without money.

The young master spends money without knowing restraint, this is really embarrassing for Uncle Wang.

"What's the matter, isn't it just a little snowflake silver? Lu County is developing so well, there will definitely be a gambling house, and then find one to go in and play two hands." Ji Yuntai was very calm about this.

Since I stopped being an official, I have no responsibility on my shoulders, and I really live a carefree and comfortable life.

"Young master, please take care of yourself. Your legs can't be dragged anymore." Although after Miss Yan Liu's treatment, the young master can already start to move around on the ground, but if you really want to move freely like a normal person, you still have to We have to go back to Penglai.

Only the holy medicine of Penglai Xiandao can truly recover!

Ji Yuntai knew about Uncle Wang's worries.

He shook his folding fan and said, "Young Master, I know it well."

"Penglai is going back, so I have to eat the snacks from Lu County." They happened to be on the way without delaying each other.

Seeing Ji Yuntai's insistence, Uncle Wang could only compromise.

My own young master, his uncle doesn't favor him, so who would favor him.

"Go and give the donkey some water." Ji Yuntai said suddenly.

Uncle Wang shook the kettle: "There is only a little left, what do you drink after it drinks?"

"It's okay if I don't drink it, but it doesn't drink it, and the two of us have to carry it into the county later."

As soon as the words fell, the donkey let out a mournful bray.

Uncle Wang quickly got out of the cart and gave the donkey all the water in the pot to drink.

The donkey drank the water, calmed down, and finally began to move forward with its hooves.

Compared with the previous steps, it is indeed much more cheerful.

Uncle Wang shook his head helplessly and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

This donkey and this young master are not easy to serve.

But fortunately, after going out just now, Lu County has finally arrived.

Looking at the word "Luxian" written in the sky, Ji Yuntai couldn't help but raise his head and boast: "Good calligraphy!"

The master and servant entered the city in a donkey cart.

While Uncle Wang was tying the rope to the donkey, Ji Yuntai went straight to the gambling house.

By the way, he also took away the last silver taels on his body.

Uncle Wang was so angry that he almost scolded him as a prodigal.

When he rushed into the casino to look for Ji Yuntai, there was already a pile of money in front of him.

"Young master?"

Ji Yuntai sat upright, with a very calm expression: "Continue pressing down."

Three times in a row, he pressed all the hands, pressed all the hands down, and hit all the hands.

After a while, a small pile of snowflake silver has been piled up.

But Ji Yuntai accepted it as soon as he saw it.

"Try the water today and come back tomorrow." He stood up and stretched himself.

If there are two more hands, it is estimated that they will have to attract the attention of the croupier.

Uncle Wang collected the silver on the table with his purse, and the two left immediately.

What they didn't notice was that a pair of eyes fell on them from beginning to end, full of scrutiny and interest.

Only after Uncle Wang left the house did he dare to weigh the purse in his hand.

Very heavy.

It's almost like they just came out of Kyoto.

"Young master, how do you know to keep everything small?" Uncle Wang couldn't help asking.

Ji Yuntai buttoned his ears, he was leaning on a cane in his hand, and walked like flying: "Damn, luck is better today."

The two chose a comfortable inn in the city to live in.

After ordering a large table of delicious food, they each went back to their rooms to rest.

When Ji Yuntai was soundly asleep, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from under the window facing the street.

"Get out of the way, let the government handle the case!"

"Tianxiang Casino is dead!"

"The one who died was a croupier!"

As soon as the sensitive words fell into his ears, Ji Yuntai's door was kicked open.

"Take him down!"

Ji Yuntai: "!!!" He opened his eyes, but before he could react, he was dragged off the bed. ,

"What do you mean?" He still has a good temper and knows how to ask.

The official gave a serious look: "You came out of Tianxiang Gambling House two hours ago, and the croupier was at your gaming table. Now, under the order of Hao Renhao County Magistrate, he specially escorted you to the Yamen to tell the story."

"Wait a minute." Ji Yuntai wondered, "I've played three games and become a suspect?"

Isn't this nonsense? !
The most he can stay is a cup of tea.

"Stop talking nonsense, don't delay everyone's affairs." The official waved: "Go, escort him into the yamen!"

As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Uncle Wang who was also pressed on the shoulder.

Ji Yuntai's eyes were slightly cold and gloomy.

But he didn't speak.

Soon to the magistrate.

Not just him.

Today, everyone on the croupier's table was arrested by the officials and brought into the yamen.

More than a dozen people looked at each other and looked at you, with big eyes and small eyes, at a loss.

"mighty--"

With the deafening voice, Hao Ren Hao County magistrate made his debut.

All I saw was a young man with a face in Chinese characters, sitting on a high seat solemnly.

Ji Yuntai looked at it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

Who should he be.

It turned out to be this guy.

Hao Ren on the high platform obviously also saw Ji Yuntai.

He froze: "Slow down."

Everyone is puzzled.

"Who told you to arrest him?"

"What's wrong with the county magistrate?!" The officer was stunned, this person was different: "This person is also the guest officer at the croupier's table today."

Hao Ren and Ji Yuntai are old acquaintances.

I once visited the same teacher together, which can be regarded as the relationship between brothers in the same school.

It's just that something happened to Hao Ren's family and he dropped out of school.

I didn't expect to see him here again.

At least I haven't seen each other for 20 years.

But both Ji Yuntai and Hao Ren recognized each other at a glance.

"It's okay, let's start." Hao Ren couldn't meet Ji Yuntai in public, so he had to go through the cutscenes in accordance with the rules and regulations. After all, a vicious murder happened in Lu County today.

Since he was in charge of Lu County, it has been a long time since such a thing happened.

So the people were panicked.

The killer must be brought to justice quickly.

"This young man is a foreigner. No one has ever seen him before. Today he kept betting on the gambling table and winning money. Perhaps the croupier felt that he lost too much money, so he asked him to argue, but who knew he was caught by this foreigner. kill..."
