Poverty

Chapter 15

Mochizuki Tower!
This is a well-known high-consumption place in Weicheng. The people who come here are either rich or expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.

Li Yanchu felt that Catcher Wang was a good person, and he was full of sincerity from the place where he picked the guests.

Under the guidance of Xiaoer Dian, Li Yanchu came to the private room No. [-], which is an independent single room, very suitable for talking, and has a high degree of privacy.

Wang Chongshan had already arrived early, dressed in a rich man's attire, he looked majestic and somewhat extravagant.

"Daoist Yanchu, come, take a seat." Wang Chongshan's attitude was very enthusiastic, which was different from his usual serious look in the yamen.

"It's a waste of money to let Wang arrest the head." Li Yanchu said.

After Li Yanchu took his seat, Wang Butou raised a glass of wine and said, "Master Yanchu, this is Wangyue Tower's deer fetus wine, which has the effect of invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation."

Li Yanchu drank it all down.

The entrance is mellow, and then I feel a heat flow from the throat into the abdomen, feeling warm, and I feel a burst of heat in the lower abdomen of the dantian.

"Good wine!" Li Yanchu praised.

"Come here, let's eat the dishes. This cook from Wangyuelou has excellent craftsmanship, especially the steamed live carp and hundred-flower chicken." Wang Catcher kept his mouth shut, and just kept introducing the food and wine.

Li Yanchu didn't refuse, and started to eat generously.

The two get along very well, and Li Yanchu is already at a very high level when it comes to socializing at the wine table.

It's easy to get along with Wang Butou.

Wang Butou didn't expect that this little Taoist priest with a dusty temperament and a handsome appearance would be so upright.

It seems that when guarding Weicheng county magistrate that day, when several wealthy businessmen in the city were eating, the Taoist priest Yanchu still restrained himself a little.

Wang Butou himself is a martial artist, after entering the officialdom, his temper became more and more calm.

Unexpectedly, this Daoist Yan Chu was not a mortal, and he kept silent and didn't ask a single word.

After drinking and eating.

Wang Butou still opened his mouth and said: "Daoist Yan Chu, I invite you here today, I actually have a request."

"Wang catches the head, but it's okay to say, as long as it's something I can do, there is no difference." Li Yanchu said.

"Happy, Taoist Yan Chu speaks quickly, if he travels in the rivers and lakes, he must be in trouble." Wang Catcher said sincerely.

This Taoist master Yanchu, with his disposition alone, is far superior to many young people. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous, very delicate, and very happy.

"Wang Catcher has won the prize." Li Yanchu said.

"To tell you the truth, when I saw Daoist Yanchu that day, I could see dirty things invisible to mortal eyes. Wang really admired him. Presumably Daoist is a master of Taoism with real skills."

"Recently, a strange thing happened in the county government. I would like to ask Taoist Priest Yan Chu to help."

Wang Chongshan's face was serious.

"What's wrong?" Li Yanchu asked.

I have some doubts in my heart, what happened to Weicheng recently?
"I don't know if Daoist Yan Chu remembers that you arrested two thieves pretending to be merchants at the inn that day? One of them was the bandit Liang Qi?" Wang Chongshan said.

Li Yan's jaw dropped.

Wang Chongshan continued: "Those two thieves were severely beaten by Taoist Yan Chu to become disabled, unable to move, and imprisoned in the prison."

"However, last night, both of them died in the prison at the same time. The death conditions were extremely miserable. They were dismembered and died!"

Wang Chongshan's words surprised Li Yanchu.

One is lamenting that two vicious murderers died in prison.

Another one, he felt a little helpless, why this heavily guarded prison in Weicheng felt a little leaky.

Wang Chongshan continued: "The news of this matter has been blocked, and no one is allowed to leak it. Nowadays, many people say that the prison in Weicheng is haunted and unclean."

"I would like to invite Daoist Yanchu to go to the prison in Weicheng to see what happened."

Li Yanchu frowned, and tentatively said: "The jailer in that cell."

Wang Chongshan is a veteran in handling cases, so he understood Li Yanchu's meaning as soon as he heard it, and said: "It has been investigated, and there is nothing strange about it recently."

In fact, in ancient times, criminal investigation methods were a little behind. Those officials who were old in prisons did not know how many murder cases they handled in a year.

If there is something tricky, you can see it at a glance.

Never underestimate it.

Li Yanchu nodded, instead of questioning Wang Butou's conclusion, he was rather puzzled.

"This incident is weird. If something unclean is causing trouble, then why was it saving last time, but killing this time?"

"And why do you want to kill Liang Qi and two people? Could it be that they have some secrets?"

This Daoist Yanchu is not simple. Wang Butou is an old fritter, and he said cooperatively: "Yeah, I am also a little curious. Daoist Yanchu is really smart, and he hits the nail on the head."

Li Yanchu smiled without saying a word.

Since the other party had concealed something, he didn't pursue it further.

After all, he was assisting the imperial court in handling the case. Li Yanchu didn't have the slightest burden in his heart and was very willing.

It's just that he was sure that Catcher Wang knew something about the things behind it.

"In that case, I will go to the prison with Wang Butou to see if there are any clues." Li Yanchu said.

Wang Catcher's eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists together: "I am the people of Weicheng, and I would like to thank Daoist Yan Chu here."

After two people died, why did they get involved with the people of Weicheng again?
Li Yanchu observes that Wang Butou is not a person who speaks exaggeratedly and is good at playing bureaucrats, since he said so, there must be a reason.

If Catcher Wang knew what Li Yanchu was thinking, he would definitely turn pale with shock.

Feeling what is in Li Yanchu's head!
"Then tomorrow night, I will send someone to invite Daoist Yanchu." Wang Butou said.

Li Yan's jaw dropped.

He just glanced at Wang Catcher and said, "Wang Catcher, is there anything else you didn't say?"

Catcher Wang's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Daoist Yanchu, how did you know?"

Unconsciously glanced outside the door, could it be that kid Wang Tie revealed it on the way?
Li Yanchu smiled slightly, and said: "It's not that simple, if it's for this matter, Wang Butou only needs to send someone to find me, why invite me to this Wangyue Tower for a drink after dark."

Wang Butou was silent.

After a while, he raised his head and said with a big laugh, "Daoist Yan Chu is smart, calm, and thoughtful. He is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people. Wang admires him."

He didn't expect Li Yanchu to be so observant.

"It's just like what the Taoist priest said at the beginning, Wang asked the Taoist priest to go to the prison to investigate, it's just one thing, there is one more thing tonight, I want to ask the Taoist priest to help." Wang Butou said seriously.

"Wang catches the head, but it doesn't matter. I still say the same thing, and I will never stand by." Li Yanchu said lightly.

Wang Butou looked at Li Yanchu with more admiration.

"Recently, strange things have happened one after another in Weicheng. Wang originally only believed in the long sword in his hand, but each of these incidents made Wang have to pay attention."

"This matter is related to Zhao Butou in this county."
