180. Entering Beijing
This transfer order passed down from the household department only has such a short line of words, but Gongsun Zhuoyu smelled something unusual between the lines.
Assist the Ministry of Criminal Justice to solve the case?
It must be something happened in the capital. However, communication tools were not well developed in ancient times, and if there was any news, it would take ten and a half months to get back from merchants, so Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't know what serious lawsuit happened in the capital.
But since he received the transfer order, it's a good thing, at least he doesn't have to spend his whole life huddling in Jiangzhou.
Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't delay, and immediately packed his bags and prepared to set off. This is not like the later generations, who were late for work, deducted their wages and fired, and if they provoked the wrath of the emperor, their heads would fall in minutes.
When Shi Qianqiu learned that Gongsun Zhuoyu was going to the capital, he made a request to accompany him: "There are mixed fish and dragons in the capital, and there are turbulent and treacherous clouds. I don't worry about going alone, sir, and I hope the guards will be by my side."
Gongsun Zhuoyu thought to himself, Master, I originally planned to take you with me. Among the dozen or so masters, you are the best at fighting, and whoever I don’t take you with. While counting the bank notes, he said: "Since that's the case, master will come to Beijing with me. Please go to the East Street to buy two fast horses first. We will travel day and night. It's better to get there earlier."
Shi Qianqiu took the order: "Yes, my lord."
But stood still.
Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his head: "Is there something else, Master?"
Shi Qianqiu: "My lord, you didn't give any silver taels."
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Oh..."
If Gongsun Zhuoyu wanted to leave home, he would naturally be worried about the old lady being alone, so he told the other masters to take care of him, so he began to count his belongings. There are more than 40 small denomination bank notes in total. He gave one to Shi Qianqiu to buy a horse, and took the rest into his bosom.
Gongsun Zhuoyu has never been so poor. He looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but miss the days when he was a corrupt official: "Oh..."
The system appeared out of nowhere, and sat on his head with a duang sound: [Dear, this idea is very dangerous]
Its body is like a slime, soft and cool. Gongsun Zhuoyu always felt his own things: "...can you come down, I always feel like there is a pile of shit on my head."
The system froze for a moment, as if a host had said the same thing a long time ago. It came back to its senses and hit Gongsun Zhuoyu on the head with its wings iaia: 【You are the shit, you are the shit】
Gongsun Zhuoyu hid for a few times, and found that hitting it didn't hurt, so he just let it go. Leaning against the gate with arms crossed, waiting for Shi Qianqiu to buy a horse back, looking at the rising sun, he said: "I'm going to the capital soon."
The place where the prosperity of the world gathers is also the place where he died in his previous life.
The system still said: [Be a good official. 】
It didn't hit Gongsun Zhuoyu this time, it just gently touched his head with its wings.
Gongsun Zhuoyu's ears could hear cocoons. Seeing that the maid had already packed her bags, he simply went to the small Buddhist hall, bid farewell to the old lady, and told her that he was going on a long journey.
The old lady didn't say anything, just said: "Go, but come back as soon as possible, Jiangzhou is your home."
Gongsun Zhuoyu leaned over: "When the child arrives in the capital, he will pass on a family letter to report his safety, and the mother should also take care of her health."
Not long after, Shi Qianqiu bought a horse and came back. Two maroon horses cost a lot of money, and they are like super sports cars in modern times. Fortunately, only two people went, and if there were a few more Gongsun Zhuoyu, they could only walk.
The two of them embarked on the road to the capital, including staying at an inn for the night, and it took a full fifteen days to arrive.
This is the most prosperous place in the world and the center of power.
The city wall is majestic and towering, and the merchants come and go in rich clothes. Before entering the city, he could already hear the bustling noise coming into his ears. Orchids dancing in bars, and dark-skinned Kunlun slaves juggling on the side of the street are really unheard of and unseen.
Shi Qianqiu led the horse, passed the inspection of the soldiers at the gate of the city, and couldn't help sighing when he saw this: "My lord, this capital is really prosperous."
He is from Jianghu, he doesn't pay too much attention to it, he is dressed in strong clothes, and the most valuable thing in his body is the sword on his body.
Gongsun Zhuoyu is more flamboyant. He is dressed in a silk gown with ink and bamboo pattern, covered with white gauze, with a jade belt tied around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, with a pair of affectionate eyes, which only reminds people of the word "suave and romantic". Since he entered the city gate, many girls looked at him and blushed.
Gongsun Zhuoyu wandered east and west, and said, "Under the feet of the emperor, can it not be prosperous? This is much better than Jiangzhou."
Seeing him wandering around, Shi Qianqiu acted like a prodigal son: "My lord, shall we go to the official department first?"
"Not in a hurry," Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his head, "Play for two days before talking about it, and inquire about the news."
If they really went to the Ministry of Officials, they would definitely be entangled in trifles. They were exhausted all the way, so naturally they had to recharge their energy, and then they would pay homage to the mountain, for example, to pass a greeting card to the Sigong Mansion or something.
Gongsun Zhuoyu came to the capital once in his previous life when he was reporting on his work, so he was quite familiar with it. There is one of the largest restaurants in the area, called Juxian Pavilion. Although it is a place to eat, it is very elegant. Many literati gathered there, chatting freely about all over the world, and it is also the place with the most news.
It was rare for Gongsun Zhuoyu to be generous: "Let's go, master, I will treat you to a good meal."
They didn't have much baggage, they only had two horses, and they just had to find a place to tie them up. Walking all the way to Yongpingfang, it didn't take long to see a magnificent restaurant built here, with the words "Juxian Pavilion" written on it. Drinking and eating on the first floor, chatting on the second floor, Gongsun Zhuoyu Station
Below, one can hear the spittle of those scholars and literati flying everywhere.
A waiter saw them and hurried forward to greet them: "Guest officer, are you eating or drinking tea?"
Eat on the first floor and drink tea on the second floor.
Gongsun Zhuoyu put away the folding fan and followed him inside: "Of course it's for eating."
Xiao Er led them to a clean table, pointed to the food rack hanging on the wall and said, "Guest officer, just order whatever you want, it's just our signature golden chicken, you must try it."
Gongsun Zhuoyu proficiently ordered several dishes, including the golden chicken dish, and finally said: "And a pot of good tea."
In the past few days, he has been living and sleeping in the open, and he can only eat dry food and bread. He has lost a lot of weight. Naturally, he can eat whatever is comfortable, and put the money aside for the time being.
Xiao Er: "Okay, wait a moment, guest officer, I'll serve you food right away."
Gongsun Zhuoyu was sitting on the seat, drinking tea while listening to the movement around him, the conversations at the neighboring table came to his ears intermittently.
"Well, I don't know when the court caught the murderer. Three people died. Although all the officials were killed, who knows if they will kill us one day."
"What's the rush? I heard that His Majesty has summoned experts in solving cases from all over the world to come to Beijing. Even Tang Feishuang rushed to the capital after hearing the news. That young talent, who has solved countless cases, is unwilling to be an official. "
People in the capital are also chasing stars in their spare time, this Tang Feishuang is a celebrity. Grandpa is the elder of the court, and his status is very important. He is also a competitive figure. He won the first prize at a young age, but he didn't want to be an official. He traveled all over the world and solved many strange cases.
When ordinary people see such characters, it is inevitable that they will give them more admiration, but Gongsun Zhuoyu only thinks that Tang Feishuang is too frivolous and arrogant. If you don't want to be an official, what kind of imperial examination do you take, it hurts to be idle.
#I have lemons, but I don't want to admit#
Across a table, Shi Qianqiu could smell Gongsun Zhuoyu's sour smell. Knowing the reason, he comforted him and said: "My lord is unparalleled, and one day, he will be famous all over the world like him."
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "No, you don't understand."
#There is a good grandfather, but my father died early#
While talking, Xiao Er brought up the dishes: "Guest officer, your signature golden chicken——"
Gongsun Zhuoyu was not in the mood to care about the chicken or not, so he said to Xiao Er without any trace, and put a small penny on the table by the way: "I am a businessman from other places, do you have anything new here recently, tell me Listen."
Xiaoer picked up the money, turned it upside down, and was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth: "If you talk about something new, of course there is, I'm afraid it will scare the guest officer."
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "But it's okay to say."
Xiaoer said: "Actually, it's not a secret. As early as half a month ago, the governor of Liangzhou died suddenly on the way back to Beijing. His death was extremely tragic. The Ministry of punishment has not yet found out what happened, and then he died again. A servant of the household department, hey, what a coincidence, they are all officials."
Xiao Er said, lowering his voice: "Your Majesty was furious and ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly, but not long after, Jing Zhaoyin died at home inexplicably, and now people are panicking. It’s been shut down quite a bit.”
Gongsun Zhuoyu was thoughtful: "Then what will His Majesty do?"
Xiaoer's news is well-informed: "Your Majesty became seriously ill with anger. The matter was discussed at the court meeting. Prime Minister Yan Fu recommended Tang Feishuang, son of the Tang family, to investigate the case in Beijing, and Du Lingchun, the admiral of the capital's law department, also recommended a person to investigate the case. It is said that he is a genius in solving crimes in Jiangzhou, and his name is Gongsun Zhuoyu."
Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his fan when he heard the words, and before he could speak, he heard Xiaoer say: "But in my opinion, to solve this case, you have to rely on Mr. Tang. His Majesty also summoned many capable ministers before. Entering the palace, it’s a pity that each of them is useless.”
Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled but didn't smile: "Then why do you conclude that Gongsun Zhuoyu is useless?"
Xiao Er smiled and said: "How can an unknown person compare with Mr. Tang Feishuang, who is a genius who won the first prize at the age of seventeen."
When Gongsun Zhuoyu heard the words, he directly took back the money in his hand, and Xiao Er quickly covered it up when he saw it: "Hey, young master, what are you doing, why do you want to take the villain's money?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu committed a narrow-minded mistake, and grabbed the money back with all his strength: "What is your money? This is my money. I put it on the table properly. How did it end up in your hands?!"
Xiao Er was startled, he had never seen such a shameless person in his life: "You you you..."
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "What are you, serve the food."
Shi Qianqiu took it for granted, turned around quietly and pretended not to know him.
Gongsun Zhuoyu was so angry that he shook his fan so loudly that he didn't even have the mood to eat. If I hadn't been too lazy to learn stereotyped essays at the beginning, I would have won the first prize in the exam, and it would be Tang Feishuang's turn to be the one.
The private seats upstairs are all separated by railings, and a group of scholars can still be faintly heard arguing fiercely. The louder the sound, the better, because only the loudest can the high-ranking officials who come to Juxian Pavilion hear it.
Wealthy gentry catch their sons-in-law under the name list, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries come here to find talents.
