Vol 4 Chapter 10: Jiumen is a little free
Today, Duanmulang looked at Mingsu with admiration.
The bamboo slips had been fully opened, and there was a slight smell of moldy bamboo. But now that the bamboo slips are clean, it seems that in Fu Mingsu's hands, they have been well preserved.
"This is a travel note written by a royal family of the Liu Dynasty when he traveled around the world thousands of years ago. Look here..." Fu Mingsu took Duan Mulang to look at a row of characters on the bamboo slips, "Kaleb Kingdom, the people are three inches long, have wings, and are good at speaking. Joke, love food Danlu, look, is it a bit like the villain described by the prince?"
Duan Mulang was slightly surprised, and looked at the description carefully, "a person is three inches long", he made a gesture with his hand, and it was indeed about the same length as his father's gesture. "Winged". His father also said that the villain flew away in the end!
"Hiss!" He couldn't help but take a deep breath. Could it be that there is such a villain in this world? !
Fu Mingsu was also amazed: "The world is so big, there are so many wonders. When I first saw this scroll, I just thought it was interesting, but I didn't think that there are such villains in this world." While reading the ancient characters on the scroll, he gently stroked the scroll, eyes It is love.
Duan Mulang suddenly came back to his senses: "Then where can I find this cup for my father?! Hey, let your brother Fu Mingrui come and find it, let's report it!"
Fu Mingsu's finger on the scroll did not move. He gave this cup to Lord Kang, and now, he lost it because of some villain.
He finally remembered that there was a record of a villain, and wanted to find it so that he could prevaricate, but in the end, Duan Mulang grabbed him and didn't let him go.
This was not a good thing, and he naturally didn't want to involve Fu Mingrui again.
He looked at Duan Mulang with a slight embarrassment: "My brother...it's okay, but they have eight doors with eight rules. The eight doors investigate major criminal cases. In this case..." Fu Mingsu frowned slightly , "If no one is dead, it is not a matter of the eight gates. If the emperor knows that the entire eight gates of the capital are looking for a... cup for the prince..." Fu Mingsu said up to this point, did not continue, but looked at Duanmu Lang let him feel the severity.
Duanmu Lang's face sank, and he clapped his hands on the table: "Tsk! It's so troublesome! What should I do?" He looked at Fu Mingsu anxiously, "I want to find one that is exactly the same, but you don't have it. I'll ask Fu Mingrui to find it. , No way! Then what do you say, I can’t go back empty-handed! How can I explain to our old man? Ah? Either way, you take this scroll and tell him that his cup was really given by a spirit It's stolen, who can control this monster? Fu Mingrui can't control it either."
Fu Mingsu smiled faintly: "This ghost, in our capital, there are really people in charge."
"Who?" Duanmu Lang raised his eyebrows.
Fu Mingsu smiled slightly: "Nine Gates."
"Nine Gates?" Duan Mulang was confused for a while, but soon remembered, "You mean the Ninth Gate? The emperor..." Duan Mulang raised his eyebrows at Mingsu, "I heard that the Nine Gates... hiss, it seems to specialize in investigating secrets in the capital. case."
Fu Mingsu raised his lips and smiled: "Isn't this case still surprising?" Fu Mingsu's point fell on the villain on the bamboo slips. Naturally, he would not cause such troublesome things to cause the eight doors of his own brothers, but This Nine Gates was another thorn in his father's heart, and the timing was just right.
"Clatter, clatter." Nine Gates is very leisurely, playing mahjong every day.
In the past, it is not surprising that Jiumen became Qingshui Yamen. The cases they investigated belonged to cases that did not come with money, and the imperial court directly allocated funds to support them.
The imperial court pays wages on a per capita basis. In such a small department as theirs, there are only a few people like this. They do a lot of work and pay little wages, so they are naturally poor.
But now, they have money, and when God Lian comes, the money will flow in. Lian Youyou opened up a new way and opened up their source of income. It turned out that they still make money this way.
The money does not need to be reported to the imperial court, it is all you know and I know, you love me and I am willing, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.
In the past, it was more money and less leisure, but now it is rich and leisure, just want to do more work to earn money.
"Hey How vulgar do you think this ordinary person is?" Sanniang picked up the white jade plaque with her slender hand, "When I was busy before, I always wanted to rest, but now I am free, and I want to find something to do "
"Hey." Yunxi smiled, "San Niang, I used to want to be free because we didn't get paid for my work, but now you want to do more relaxing and money-making things. Hey, there is such a good job. I want to pick it up too, little lettuce, this time you really contributed a lot, this handshake has earned us all the money for the entire year of the Nine Sects."
Little Lettuce smiled shyly: "Sister Yoyo picked it up." After Little Lettuce finished speaking, she looked at Lian Youyou with a little admiration.
Lian Youyou threw West Wind: "Don't worry Next time I have such a job, I'll pick it up for you. Everyone can take it and earn some private money."
Yunxi smiled happily with fox eyes: "I don't mind earning more for such pocket money, and I won't have to drink Northwest Wind again."
"Master! I want to too!" He Shiqi immediately raised his hand, "I want pocket money too!"
Lian Youyou raised her eyebrows, and directly "swish!" took out a fifty-two silver note from her bosom: "Here, take it and spend it. I brought you here. Tell me if you want money in the future."
"Wow——" He Shiqi's eyes widened, he was stupid, but the money was recognizably clear, and he happily took it, "Master, you are so kind! Master, you are the most beautiful!"
Yun Xi's teeth were sore when he heard it, Lin Tingjun who was asleep lightly raised his lips, and the black flame at the corner of the table was extremely contemptuous. Little did he know that his self-torturing self-abuse was not so flattering as Shi Qi's sycophant.
"Oh, we, Ah Qi, are more comfortable. If we don't work, we will get money." Yunxi smiled wickedly.
"Who said our Ah Qi doesn't work" Sanniang couldn't see Bai Yunxi, "The two holes in the wall and ground are all thanks to our Ah Qi, he takes money for the nursing home It should be”
When this issue was mentioned, Yunxi couldn't help giving He Shiqi a thumbs up. Indeed, when it comes to guarding the home, they are really not as brave as Shi Qi.
He Shiqi got the banknote seriously, folded it carefully, and began to look for a hiding place all over his body. He looked at his feet, was caught by Lian Youyou's glimpse, and immediately frowned: "It's hidden in the shoes, it stinks!"
"Oh." He Shiqi was still very obedient. He started looking for it again, and after searching for a while, he suddenly opened the waistband of his trousers to hide the banknote in his underwear.
Sanniang immediately straightened her beautiful eyes when she saw it: "Ah Qi! Don't hide it in your underwear, you will easily fall off when you take off your pants!" Regarding He Shiqi, everyone treats him like a child, so Sanniang said it out without hesitation.
He Shiqi came to a sudden, grateful to look at Sanniang: "Sister Sanniang is right, I..." He Shiqi began to search for a hiding place all over his body again, and the extremely serious thing seemed to be hiding an important treasure. From this point of view, if they get married in the future, they will be a man who loves to hide his private money.
