His spirit is not very good, his bones were almost torn apart by that tough little Cui girl yesterday, the only luck is that it started during the day, so he still has the energy to get up and investigate the case this morning.

Lu Bai raised his head and looked at Fang Qianhu suspiciously, "Old Fang, it's not because you can't do a good job, and Beizhen Fusi obstructed our handling of the case, are you looking for an excuse?"

"Injustice!"

Fang Qianhu said hastily, and took out a letter from his pocket, "This is reported by Qianhu in Xicheng, and asked us to investigate Huang Junsheng's disappearance."

Lu Bai took the official letter, which contained the seal of the Qianhu Office, and it was indeed mentioned that Huang Junsheng disappeared three or four days ago, and he was never seen again. I have been missing for seven or eight days.

There is one thing to say, this case is indeed under the jurisdiction of Nanzhen Fusi.

Not only the disappearance of Jin Yiwei, but also the unexplained death of Jin Yiwei, all cases involving Jin Yiwei are investigated by Nanzhen Fusi.

"Now one case has not been solved, and another case has been added." Fang Qianhu said beside him.

He is very happy.

At least in this way, Lu Bai won't stare at his three-acre land because there is no case.

"It's also possible that there are two cases. The Department of Supervisors and Huang Jinyiwei disappeared at about the same time, and they happened to be together again. This is not a coincidence." Lu Bai said.

Fang Qianhu took a step forward, "My lord, do you think these two people were killed together?"

Lu Bai shook his head, "I'm not sure yet."

He put away the official letter and asked Fang Qianhu to take Zhuang Jinyiwei to the Xicheng Qianhu Office and Huang Jinyiwei's house to check to see if Huang Jinyiwei had offended anyone.

Fang Qianhu took the order and hurried out, fearing that Lu Bai would follow, and he would have to pay for it himself.

Unfortunately, he was late.

When he walked to the door, Lu Bai reminded him, "Remember Qingzhuang Jinyiwei and their meal—"

Before Fang Qianhu could open his mouth, Lu Bai said again: "I am here to train you. The art of controlling subordinates is a subject of knowledge. You must be willing to spend money to win people's hearts. Otherwise, when I am promoted in the future, you will take What is in charge of Nanzhen Fusi?"

Fang Qianhu believed his evil.

Without money, he can't be in charge of Jinyiwei?

Nonsence!

Fang Qianhu came to his senses, whoever was going to be in charge of Nanzhen Fusi, a Qingshui yamen would not be able to get any money.

He took Lu Bai's words as fart, and led someone to investigate the case.

However, for the sake of unnecessary trouble, he still decided to invite Zhuang Jinyiwei and the others to have a meal. After all, what Lu Bai said was right, you have to use money to win people's hearts, so that you can grab the class and seize power, make it difficult for Lu Bai, and then let him take revenge.

Of course, this plan is still a little rough.

Because Fang Qianhu hadn't figured out how to avenge his son after Lu Bai was asked to step down from the position of Nanzhen Fushi.

Hit, he definitely can't beat it.

Lu Bai didn't go out to investigate the case.

He sat dumbfounded in his chair, watching a beam of light fall through the papered window, shining on the dust, and dancing over his desk.

There are many reasons for the disappearance of the customs supervision department. After all, he has money. He has exploited many merchants as the water customs supervision department, and the officials are also bought. Any mistake of these can kill him.

But with a Jinyiwei, the water inside immediately became deeper.

It is possible that one of the two offended someone, and the other grabbed the grass and beat the rabbit, and cleaned up the other one by the way.

It is also possible that they were conspiring to do something and were killed. Lu Bai couldn't help but think of the wife of Guan Jiansi who mentioned that Huang Jinyiwei mentioned silver when he conspired with Guan Jiansi.

Of course, there is another possibility that these two people are still alive, they just live together and fly together.

Thinking of this, Lu Bai had a doubt.

According to Mrs. Guan Jiansi, Lao Guan used to be a pure businessman. How did he know Huang Junsheng Jin Yiwei?I met after I became an official, or I met before buying an official. If it was before buying an official, didn't Huang Jinyiwei introduce Laoguan's way of buying an official?

Buying an official is different from buying cabbage, you still have to have some connections.

Lu Bai shook his head. It seems that he has to go to the house of the supervisor to check for any clues.

As soon as he stood up, some people came in from the Nanzhen Fusi Yamen.

from the palace.

The leader is the great eunuch of Baihe Township, the caring eunuch who is close to the emperor, the one who puts his heart and soul to Lu Bai.

"Lord Lu, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace to discuss matters, please." Eunuch Bai smiled.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the emperor is the biggest for the time being.

Lu Bai could only nod his head, and got into the carriage at the gate of the yamen.

The carriage was very spacious, with a table in the middle, and the chairs and stools on both sides were covered with soft things, and it was very comfortable to sit on.

Lu Bai sat on the floor, stretched himself, thinking that this car is really nice, and he will have to get one someday.

Eunuch Bai quickly came in to accompany him.

With a smile, he took out a food box from under the table as if by magic, put a jug of wine and a few dishes on the table, "Lord Lu, these are some dishes made by the imperial dining room in the palace. You can try the special Yulouchun."

Lu Bai was overwhelmed with flattery, for the eunuch to serve him so attentively and thoughtfully, that was the emperor's treatment.

Lu Bai took the silver chopsticks and looked at the table. There were all his favorite dishes. It was probably the last time he ate in the palace. Eunuch Bai remembered it, "Old Bai, you have a heart."

The big eunuch Bai's smiling face gathered together, like a flower, like a chrysanthemum, "This is all the emperor's wish, the emperor attaches great importance to his lord, and it is a family, so naturally he will be treated with more courtesy."

Lu Bai took a bite of the dish, um, it's really delicious, not only the ingredients are exquisitely made, but also the taste is very suitable for Lu Bai's taste, especially when he got the fish, the fishbone was handled cleanly, so that Lu Bai could feast on it.

Eunuch Bai said with a smile: "My lord, your majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign. Some things are inconvenient to say, but I still have my heart, and it's all in this meal."

Lu Bai nodded his head, he realized that he was really careful.

He waved the chopsticks in his hand, "Old Bai, don't worry, I will do my best for the emperor. You don't even know that I just took over Nanzhen Fusi, and now there are two cases under investigation."

In fact, it is a case. The original Jin Yiwei kidnapping case has now become the Jin Yiwei disappearance case.

"By the way, Lao Bai—" Lu Bai took a sip of wine, "Do you know how to buy an official?"

"Uh--"

Eunuch Bai's face twitched, and then he smiled again, "Master Lu, it's not appropriate for you to ask me this."

"It's not suitable." Lu Bai nodded.

Eunuch Bai leaned over, with the tone of someone who came here, "Why, Master Lu wants to buy someone an official? Although I have no way, but the people around me should have a way, I can help Master Lu, you ask."

Lu Bai actually asked on a whim.

If he didn't become the governor of Nanzhen, he really wanted to buy himself an official, such as an official position in Dali Temple, to specialize in handling cases.

Lu Bai waved his hand, and then talked about the case at hand.

Eunuch Bai's face twitched again. He found that Lu Bai was handling the case sincerely. Go in with a nail.

Unexpectedly, this nail went to nailing things wholeheartedly.

However, thinking about the reason why the emperor invited Lu Bai into the palace this time, he felt that Lu Bai was actually quite competent, and he was still investigating cases, and he was even more dedicated.

He helped Lu Bai analyze, "It should not be for money."

Lu Bai wanted to talk nonsense, now the Guan family has not lost a penny.

"Then there are only enemies, peers, or people with interests involved. You just asked the buyer—I think it is possible." The eunuch Bai said.

He lived deep in the palace, and beside the emperor, he experienced many intrigues, and he knew why he killed people.

"Buying an official?" Lu Bai looked up at him.

This was actually rejected by Lu Bai. Although buying officials in the capital was not put on the table, it was almost an unspoken rule. There is no need to make the Guanjian Department disappear for an unspoken rule.

Eunuch Bai smiled, feeling that he was of great use.

He said: "Your Excellency Lu doesn't know something, but the Water Customs Supervisor is a fat job."

He pointed in the direction of the Qinhuai River.

The capital is the head of the Southern Dynasties, and the Qinhuai River is the throat of the capital, supplying half of the people in the capital with food and drink.

"The passenger and cargo ships on the Qinhuai River are constantly running all year round. Their white sails are like wings and their oars are dancing. They transport hundreds of millions of goods every day. This is all money, and the key to their entry and exit is in the hands of the Water Customs Supervisor." Bai Bai The chief eunuch withdrew his hand, and looked at Lu Bai with a piercing expression, "Master Lu, this person is in high demand. It's hard to guarantee that no one will miss it, and then let the supervisor disappear."

Lu Bai nodded, making sense, "So the one who sells the official may also get the person who bought the official from him."

This is commonly known as killing cooked.

"maybe."

Eunuch Bai told Lu Bai that there are many ways to buy officials, and those who sell officials also fight with each other.

"Also, sitting on the seat of the Water Customs Superintendent is not a one-off deal, it will be paid by the sun and the moon." The eunuch Bai felt that if the higher-ups were not satisfied, they might change people.

All in all, as far as buying an official is concerned, many people want to kill the supervisor.

"Who told you that it's fat, it's also meat on the grill, everyone wants to squeeze out the fat." The first eunuch Bai said.

Eunuch Bai didn't say anything else, that is, there is no money now, and the emperor doesn't even approve certain appointments, or policy documents that are beneficial to certain people.

When the official position is limited, the number of people who buy an official is unlimited, so it is normal for some people to move their positions.

Lu Bai was taught.

He was still used to small places, and for a while, he didn't expect that a small official of the supervisory department would be so hated by others.

Lu Bai took another sip of his wine and brought the topic back, "By the way, why did the emperor call me into the palace this time?"

Eunuch Bai was overjoyed, "Master Lu doesn't know?"

Lu Bai smiled, it seems that yesterday's memorial has worked.

Gu Qinghuan had expected it a long time ago. When he was still in his arms in a daze this morning, he told him that the emperor would call him into the palace, and told him the countermeasures. case to avenge his mother Lu Bai.

"When the time comes, someone will mediate and achieve your goal." Lu Qinghuan still closed his eyes when he spoke.

When Lu Bai heard Gu Qinghuan's lazy look, his heart throbbed.

The palace is coming soon.

After getting out of the car, Eunuch Bai restrained his smile, led a few followers to lead the way, and Lu Bai followed behind.

Lu Bai came to the palace for the second time this time, and it was still a bit new.

As he was walking, he observed at the same time, suddenly, after seeing Eunuch Bai's walking posture by chance, his eyes became thoughtful.

Then, he moved his eyes to look at a few eunuchs who were under his care, and saw that they walked in the same style - a bit like they were injured in the crotch.

But it's not the outer horoscope that ordinary people walk, but the tight outer horoscope with eggs sandwiched between them.

Of course, what caught Lu Bai's eyes was not their strange walking postures, but their strange walking postures reminded Lu Bai of a person - that strange servant girl.

That day, when the maid brought tea, water and charcoal to Lu Bai, Lu Bai felt that she was strange, but he never wanted to understand what was so strange. Now he knew, it was because of her strange walking posture.

Her walking posture is almost exactly the same as that of these eunuchs.

And her Adam's apple—

Lu Bai remembered that the servant girl had a very high collar, which was intentionally covered so that people could not see her Adam's apple, which was why Lu Bai felt strange at the time.

"Damn it." Lu Bai stopped, the maid was a man!

Or the eunuch!

The pseudonym looks quite alike.

Fortunately, Lu Bai and Gu Qinghuan have always been careful, only the talents brought from Yancheng are by their side to serve them personally, and the other servants hired or bought in the capital are all used as odd jobs.

Lu Bai is also a person of spiritual practice, he has fun with Gu Qinghuan day and night, he can be sure that this servant has not discovered his relationship with Gu Qinghuan.

Chapter 357 True Love

"Lord Lu, what are you thinking?" The eunuch Bai who was walking in front saw that Lu Bai was not moving, turned back and asked.

"No, it's nothing, Eunuch Bai will continue to lead the way." Lu Bai smiled and followed Eunuch Bai.

Inside the wine house.

Gu Qinghuan had breakfast in the study.

The spring breeze blows across the river, blows the curtains, passes through the study and whizzes behind, bringing bursts of fragrance.
