Chapter 9 Mr. Jia has face
Bloodletting, soaking in hot water, plucking hair, disemboweling, eviscerating... He once stole a month's lessons from [Shiyue Pavilion], which is known as the best gourmet restaurant in the world. Lu Renjia quickly cleaned up the old hen in his hand and threw it on the chopping board.
"The rest of the work will be left to you, my sister-in-law. Mr. A, I am really busy with something, so I won't help you. But when you are done, you must leave some for me and Xiao Jiang."
Lu Renjia stretched his sore back and secretly lamented that age is not forgiving and his body is getting worse every year.
Wen Zhaodi handed over the tea and thanked her profusely, "Thank you, Brother Lu. When I am ready, Brother Wu will call you. It will be fun for everyone to eat together."
Jiang Shouzhong added: "It's best to leave the chicken butt to him, he will be happy with this."
"Hey, Xiao Jiang still understands me."
Lu Renjia burst out laughing. .
Wen Zhaodi held back her smile and hummed with a slight blush.
Not far after the two of them walked out of the courtyard, Wen Zhaodi's urgent shout suddenly came from behind.
Wen Zhaodi trotted up to the two of them, handed a newly knitted gray scarf to Jiang Shouzhong, panted lightly and said, "Brother Jiang, please give this scarf to my husband. He left in a hurry this morning and forgot about it." The weather is so cold, I am afraid that he will catch a cold. "
"Brother and sister, my body is more susceptible to colds than Lao Zhang."
Lu Renjia. said.
"Huh?" Wen Zhaodi was startled, her cheeks stained with a blush due to the cold winter air, showing a bit of embarrassment, and whispered. "If Brother Lu wants it, I will knit another one for you."
"Forget it." Lu Renjia sighed, "If you knit it for me, you have to knit it for Xiao Jiang. Master Jia, I'll knit this one for you." There's nothing wrong with his old face, but Xiao Jiang is a famous pretty boy. If the talkative neighbors see him, he might cause some gossip. "
Wen Zhaodi quickly shook her head, "No... don't worry about it."
Jiang Shouzhong took the scarf and said with a smile: "Lao A is right, even if your heart is open, sometimes gossip can hurt your heart."< br>
"Well, I will listen to you."
Wen Zhaodi smiled.
Just when Jiang Shouzhong took the scarf from the other person's hand, the woman's slightly raised white tail finger gently crossed the man's palm intentionally or unintentionally.
Jiang Shouzhong raised his head and saw that the woman's expression was as usual, nothing unusual.
Maybe it was just an unintentional move.
......
About a quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at the scene of the crime.
The place where the crime occurred is a dilapidated Taoist temple called Wufeng Temple, located near the North City Gate and Laiyanzi Street.
At this time, many people had gathered outside the Taoist temple, standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks to take a look at the excitement. The government officials were maintaining order and driving away people who came too close from time to time.
Jiang Shouzhong and Lu Renjia took out their dark lamp identity tokens to show their identities and went straight to the Taoist temple.
As soon as I stepped into the temple, I came face to face with a tall and burly figure like an iron tower.
The man has rough features and a bronze complexion. He is about thirty years old and looks a little honest. If you ignore the bright ax on your back, you look like a farmer.
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong and the two of them, the rough man was startled and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
The man is Zhang Yunwu.
Zhang Yunwudang kept the lights dark longer than Jiang Shouzhong.
At first he was just a small county police officer.
After working for almost seven years, I was promoted to a six-door dark light by chance.
Zhang Yunwu has a simple and honest personality. He is a typical and recognized good guy in Liumen. He is willing to help his colleagues and is willing to do a lot of dirty work without complaining.
Especially when he was young, he was taught by a monk from the Vajra Temple and learned the powerful ax technique.
In the trio, he is responsible for pure force.
He is the one who contributes the most when catching monsters.
Lu Renjia pulled the scarf in Jiang Shouzhong's hand and threw it to Zhang Yunwu, complaining angrily, "How dare you ask us for being such a bully? If not for your wife's help in killing——"
"Shh~"
Zhang Yunwu hurriedly made a look to signal silence, pointed behind him quietly, and said in a low voice: "The people from the Yamen Governor's Court are here too."
The Yamen Governor's Court?
The two were stunned.
Jiang Shouzhong turned slightly and looked inside the temple. Sure enough, there were three men wearing official uniforms of the Yamen Governor's Court, talking and recording something in front of a corpse.
The three of them looked a bit unfamiliar.
The Yamen Governor's Office is a department that specializes in supervising the six-door dark lights.
In addition to daily supervision of dark lights for dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty, bending the law for personal gain, etc., each dark light will also be subject to regular assessments and background checks.
It can be said that they are the most annoying and troublesome people with dark lights.
“Damn it, this luck sucks.”
Lu Renjia cursed secretly.
Even though I scolded my mother, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.
The three people in the Taoist temple stopped talking when they saw someone coming in. One of them, a middle-aged official wearing a thick robe and a mustache, looked closely and asked coldly, "You two are also from Fenglei Hall? Why are you here now?" There are six doors, one courtyard, three departments and twelve halls.
The first courtyard is the Yamen Governor's Court.
The three departments are: the Wenxin Department, which specializes in files and internal affairs, the Shadow Department, which handles intelligence work, and the Dragon and Tiger Department, which specializes in handling complex high-end affairs.
The rest of the dark lamps at the bottom level work in the Twelve Halls and obey the orders of their superiors.
Just do whatever work is arranged by the above.
Either investigating cases, or assisting in catching monsters...
The department where Jiang Shouzhong, Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu work is called Fenglingtang.
Including Li Nanshuang, there are four people in total.
It is also the department with the smallest number of people, the worst performance, the lowest reputation, the worst atmosphere, and the lowest evaluation among the six doors and twelve halls.
It’s not that Jiang Shouzhong and the others are incompetent, it’s just that their boss loves to mess around.
Seeing that the other party was demanding accountability as soon as they came up, Lu Renjia kept smiling and said, "Are the three adults from the Yamen Governor's Court? They look a bit unfamiliar. What do you call them?"
On the sixth day, The old man who has been around for many years knows more or less the officials in the Yamen Governor's Court, but today these three people are unfamiliar.
Although no one in the capital dares to impersonate a Liumen official, it is still necessary to confirm the identity of the other party.
I also want to see if I can have a relationship with the other person.
Jia's abilities are average, but after traveling all over the country for so many years, he has made a lot of connections. He gives face to everyone he meets, and is called "Face Master" by people in the world.
The middle-aged official narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, showed a wing-shaped identity token and handed it to the other party, "Yuan Anjiang, Supervisor B2 of the Yamen Supervisory Yuan. If you have any doubts, you can go check it out."< br>
"That's not necessary. Mr. Yuan is a high official at first glance." Lu Renjia did not pick it up, but glanced at the token, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
While the middle-aged official and Lu Renjia were talking, Jiang Shouzhong secretly observed the scene.
"What are your names?"
Facing Lu Renjia's flattery, the middle-aged official named Yuan Anjiang still had a cold face. He took a book from the side and opened it to write down demerits for Lu Renjia and Jiang Shouzhong. .
Seeing this situation, Lu Renjia’s face turned green.
A demerit means a fine.
Originally, Fengleitang's performance was at the bottom and there were few welfare rewards.
That little money every month is not even enough to buy rouge for Qing Niang, and now he has to pay a fine. This is a pace that even Northwest Wind can't afford.
Lu Renjia was about to ask for mercy, but he suddenly remembered something. He rolled his eyes slightly, raised his hands and asked cautiously: "May I ask, my lord, Yuan Anhe, Lord Yuan, the prefect of Yuzhou, are you related?"
< br>Yuan Anjiang raised his eyelids and frowned slightly, "It's my brother."
"Oh, we are one of our own!"
Lu Renjia suddenly beamed and said with a smile, "Master Yuan, we are My own people.”
"Oh?" Yuan Anjiang suddenly became interested. He closed the demerit book he had opened and his tone became gentler. "What? Do you know my brother?"
Lu Renjia straightened up and said with a smile: "The concierge of the Yuan Prefecture, Lu Liuye, is a distant cousin of his daughter-in-law's cousin, and the wife of a friend of my neighbor's third aunt's son's teacher is a half-sister.
< br>Master Yuan, we are all our own people. Just give me some face and let this matter go.
I will be the host tonight and invite Master Yuan to have a drink with the proprietress Qing Niang of Chunyu Tower. You know me very well, and you are one of my own..."
Looking at the enthusiastic Lu Renjia, Yuan Anjiang's cheek twitched uncontrollably.
"Name!"
He opened the record and asked coldly.
Lu Renjia's face suddenly froze while he was chatting, and then he forced a smile and wanted to speak, but when he met Yuan Anjiang's cold eyes, he did not dare to say anything.
"Master Yuan, actually we arrived at the scene very early, but we went to investigate the case again."
During the stalemate, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly spoke.
Yuan Anjiang tilted his head, looked at the handsome young man in front of him with sharp eyes, and said sarcastically: "You said... you went to investigate the case?"
"That's right."
Jiang Shouzhong looked calm.
Yuan Anjiang glanced at Lu Renjia and asked again, the sarcasm in his eyes became more intense, "Have you gone to investigate the case?"
"Yes...yes..."
Lu Renjia nodded awkwardly.
"Okay, then tell me where you went to investigate and what did you find? Where is the monster!?"
Yuan Anjiang sneered and stared with disdain. Jiang Shouzhong and Lu Renjia. As if to say, come on, I want to see what other tricks you can perform.
Thanks to Xuan Cuozi, Sending Rain Dusk, Fanzui Gang Baili, and dashazillll for their rewards
