now

An inn in the mountain city.

The outside world is roaring, but the inside is brightly lit.

There were about forty or fifty people gathered in the small inn, and they looked very lively.

Three people with fat heads and big ears at a table.

We are talking about this cold wave.

The funny old man who was hunched over but holding a fan and pretended to be a casual and elegant old man, heard this and glared at the strong and greasy man: "You guy, you know nothing! It's a shame and a shame!"

"After I have been in Confucianism for a few years and have been qualified to attend students in private schools. I am considered a part of scholars! That's bigger and thicker. What you said doesn't count, you have to listen to me!"

The thin old man shook the fan and retorted with a sharp voice. He just said that the cold wave was bigger and thicker, but he was refuted by the greasy fat man in front of him.

Now I am a little angry and continue to argue.

"Tsk, can you count what scholars say? Especially what you Confucian scholars say!"

The greasy and burly man curled his lips with a disdainful look on his face.

Confucian scholars must be scholars, but scholars are not necessarily scholars. On the contrary, Confucian scholars only occupy a small part, and the rest, such as new students, sons of Taoism, etc., are also considered part of scholars.

But no matter what, scholars are not reliable in their words. If you believe in scholars’ mouths, it is better to believe in widows’ legs. This is a recognized truth in the empire.

"You guy... this guy... is nonsense and messing around!"

"Old Li, come and judge, who is right?"

The skinny old man was indignant and picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all in one go. Then he looked at the prison guards of the Imperial Government opposite the two and asked.

The prison guard in front of him, whose surname is Li, is not clear about the specific name of the thin old man. It is said that he had just been transferred to Shancheng from other prefectures.

Three days ago, the greasy and strong man and thin old man had been caught inexplicably for some reason.

It is said that it will be sent to the Zhenyu Secretariat.

This scared the two of them. They were wronged and had no idea what they had committed. They were arrested like this. How could they not be in a hurry?

Think about it, I used to do some stealing and watching widows take a bath, and I didn’t commit any serious crimes. Why should I arrest them?

The two decided to protest!

So I secretly handed over the money I saved during this period to Lao Li, who happened to be on duty to guard them, the prison guard of the Imperial Yamen in front of me.

This is the only way to get the freedom. As for whoever blames them, according to Lao Li, there are many unlucky people, and there are no shortage of them.

So, after a while, the three of them became familiar with each other. During these days, Lao Li would ask them to have some wine when he had something to do. Naturally, they would be happy to curry favor with the new imperial jailer.

Although it is just a small pawn in the yamen, it is not as fierce as the two corps and one department, but at least it is a bit of power, right?

When Lao Li made friends intentionally and the two deliberately flattered each other, they naturally became more and more familiar with each other.

"You two...there is no obstacle at all in your mouth."

The jailer in the yamen took a sip of wine, smiled slightly, and continued, "Look at what bad things you two have done over the years: picking up the skin, hiding horses, chasing madmen, fucking fools! What else do you don't do?"

"If you want me to tell me, you should be more restrained. The top has been checking tightly recently. You don't want to send yourself in again, right? Although what you did is not a big deal, it hurts your good deeds!"

When the greasy and strong man heard this, he nodded and said, "That's right, especially this thin man, don't look like a fan every day, but he has never done anything? Let me tell you, this guy: eating, drinking, gambling, smoking, cheating, cheating, knocking on widows' doors, digging graves, beating blind people, scolding mutes, and stripping old ladies of shorts. As long as it is human affairs, I have never done anything!"

When the jailman in the yamen heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a giggle: "You two can accumulate some virtue. You really have sores on your head, pus flows from the soles of your feet, which is broken and breathable!"

After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at the top of the two people's heads. The greasy and strong man's head was flowing out, and the thick juice slipped back into his head along his facial features and orifices.

The thin old man had skinny and bone-shaped body and his head was full of water, as if the knowledge he had learned was like water.

A typical example of water entering the mind.

A bad pig-faced ghost with pus flowing pus, a fake scholar with water in his head, ignorant skills!

【The appearance of these two people’s evil spirits is really interesting.】

Li Wei thought to himself.

He was the jailer in the yamen in front of him. He had arrived in the mountain city three days ago, but he did not go directly to the Imperial Copper Mine. Instead, he asked Yan Ruyu to help him get the identity of an jailer in the Imperial Yamen.

For Yan Ruyu, this kind of jailer in an ordinary prison was just a matter of one sentence, and he arranged him in directly.

Then, there was a scene where the two of them were caught in for no reason and were accidentally released by Li Wei.

Li Wei wanted to know some basic information about the mountain city, and these guys from all walks of life and the bottom of the country are the best places for various sources of information.

In the past few days, he has heard a lot of news, most of which were contributed by the two people in front of him.

"Hi, I won't talk about the glory of the past. Since the widows of the sisters in the next village got married, I have lost all my mood and have stopped doing it."

"But, Lao Li, you said that the above has been in a tight investigation recently. What's the statement? I have also felt that the atmosphere in the city is wrong these days. There are a lot more soldiers patrolling this. Gangs of all sizes in the city have become much more peaceful, which is a bit abnormal."

The thin old man asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm just wondering about this. You haven't gone to the Imperial Copper Mine. I have a cousin of the sister-in-law of the second uncle's family's son-in-law, brother-in-law, and classmate of the sister-in-law of the second uncle's family. You said you are working there. It is said that the Imperial Copper Mine is also undergoing large-scale rectification. Some gangs related to the Imperial Copper Mine are simply complaining."

"And I also heard that even some secret organizations, associations, etc. have been implicated, and I don't know whether it is true or not."

"Hey, this cold wave is on the rise again, and the empire is inexplicably rectifying it, and it is simply lifeless."

On the other side, the fat man took over the topic and muttered.

"this......"

Hearing the two of them, Li Wei pretended to be hesitant, and looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I know a little news about this. You know, I also came from other cities. Although I was sent to this remote place by my family, I have some tricks. But this news... It's really hard to get it. Without the family's explanation, I dare not make it. So..."

Li Wei wanted to speak but stopped. The two people on the other side suddenly understood it. The fat man and the thin man looked at each other and pretended to be generous, saying, "Look at our memory, this is a gift to Lao Li, just treat me as my brothers to welcome you."

After saying that, he stuffed a small bag of imperial silver dollars into Li Wei's hands.

Li Wei weighed it and found that it was quite heavy, and it was estimated that there were at least fourteen or five.

"How embarrassed!"

Li Wei shoved and stuffed his purse into his arms.

Two: "..."

"Ahem, Lao Li, you are a first-timer and are sent to this point by your family. It is the time to use money. Although my brothers don't have much money, they can still take advantage of this amount of money."

"I don't ask for anything else, I just want Lao Li to tell me about my brothers if you have any trouble in the future."

The fat man said generously.

"It's extreme, it's extreme!"

The thin old man next to him also nodded repeatedly, saying that he actually stuffed Li Wei's small bag of silver dollars.

This time the old man clearly showed a look of pain.

"Hey, since the two brothers are hard to refuse, I will accept it."

Li Yiwei looked embarrassed, and then he felt at ease to put nearly 30 imperial silver dollars in his arms.

Then he organized the language and continued: "I heard... I just heard that a new logistics minister was sent to the Empire to directly accept everything about the Empire's copper mine and mountain city. The rectification during this period was because this adult was coming."

The greasy and strong man and the thin old man nodded when they heard this, looked at each other, showing a true expression.

"What else? Lao Li, do you have deeper information?"

The thin old man asked in a deep voice with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Other information..." Li Wei lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "There are some other information. I don't know whether it is true or false. They were all passed to me by my family members. I'll tell you for you..."

"According to rumors from the elders of the family, this new adult is not as strong as a fourth-level powerhouse. Even the giant Yu Ruyan, our ice prison here, is a little afraid of him."

What, Yu Ruyan is invincible?

"impossible!"

"How is Lord Yu..."

The two shook their heads repeatedly when they heard this, as if they didn't believe it if they beat them to death. After all, Yu Ruyan is a fourth-level strongman, and he is one of the strongest overlords in the entire mountain city. Almost no one dares to mess with him on the surface.

"I was also very surprised. But the family only said to me: The ghost in Haicheng Mansion was solved independently by this adult!"

"I think you probably heard about the haunted thing about Haicheng Mansion some time ago."

Li Wei explained.

"This...this...if this...this is really a disaster."

"Yes, such a powerful figure has come to Shancheng, who can independently solve the problem of a ghost... This... What kind of living heads are there in other forces?"

"Can we change the Great King Flag from now on, and the center of the empire will attack Shancheng?"

The thin old men changed their faces and murmured to themselves.

Such a powerful professional is in charge of the Shancheng Logistics Department, it is simply a disaster for all forces!

How can these empire worms feel?

Seeing that the two were a little scared, Li Wei picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and continued, "But, that adult was not without any scruples. According to my family, the adult was trapped by family affection, and was surrounded by an ordinary sister and a weak little sister."

"Since there is a sentiment, there will be a flaw. As for how the forces here should use this flaw, it is not something we can manage."
