Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 86
Pinglu County, Shanzhou.

"Thank you uncle!"

"You're welcome!"

At the gate of the county seat, Bai Sanxiu jumped off the donkey cart, thanked her loudly, and then stretched vigorously.If it wasn't for the presence of other people, she would have twisted a few more times. Sitting all the way, her bones would be loose.

"Tired?" Li Quan asked beside him.

"It's okay, I'm from Chang'an, Zhuangzhou."

Although Chang'an is not too far from Pinglu, it is still a bit tiring to travel here in four days.But Li Quan didn't come out to visit the mountains and rivers, he had official duties.He didn't choose to ride a horse, but took a ride. He already took good care of her, otherwise, if the journey of more than 500 miles was reversed, her small body would really fall apart.

"Let's go into the city and find a place to live."

"Ok!"

They found a guest house and asked for two rooms. The two of them rested for a while before they came out to find food and get acquainted with the county town by the way.Shanzhou is in the east of Chang'an, and it is the water and land transfer station for the Jianghuai grain to be transported to Chang'an to the north.Although Pinglu is not the seat of the state capital of Shanzhou, it is a fairly prosperous town because it is adjacent to the north bank of the Yellow River and adjacent to the Sanmen Gorge.

In the evening, there were still quite a few people on the street. The two casually entered a restaurant and ordered two bowls of noodles. Li Quan said, "It's been a hard journey. Take a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will find a suitable yard to rent."

"Huh?" Bai Sanxiu cleaned up the noodles with chopsticks, a little surprised, "I thought Si Zhi was going to live in the county."

"No hurry, let's see the situation first."

The implication is that Bai Sanxiu understands, he wants to investigate in a low-level service first.

As the director of Dali, in addition to participating in the trial of difficult cases in Dali Temple, Li Guan also has an important duty to be an envoy and push the mortgage.That is to say, for major and difficult cases submitted by the state government or transferred by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Dali Temple can send Dali directors or judges to the local area for investigation and trial.Li Guan's visit to Pinglu this time was a death penalty case in Pinglu County transferred by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

What the specific case was, Li Quan hadn't told her yet, and she didn't ask, anyway, he would tell her when he needed it.He only asked her if she wanted to come with him, and she agreed without hesitation.After all, it's boring to stay in the mansion alone, and the food is not delicious, not to mention that he will be out for a month or two this trip, thinking about it... I really don't want to part with it.

Li Guan watched her eating, and asked the shopkeeper to add a big piece of meat to her bowl, "Don't worry, eat slowly."

"Hey, I didn't feel it on the way, but I'm very hungry after I rest."

Bai Sanxiu was a little embarrassed, but the meat delivered to the bowl was definitely not rejected.Seeing her happily taking a big bite, Li Quan smiled and said: "After you settle down tomorrow, you can go to the street to see what vegetables you want to buy. You can also prepare some rice." He had a lot of meaning.

Ok?
She understood his important instructions, but she was a little puzzled.Since she was going to live here, she would definitely go shopping, so why did he make a special mention?Does he really want to eat rice?

So the next day, after they spent half a day finding a suitable private house to rent, she hurried out to buy some meat, vegetables and daily necessities to go back.The first thing to buy, of course, is rice.

When she stood in front of the grain store and asked about the price of rice, she seemed to know why Li Guan came to Pinglu and why he suddenly ordered him to do so.
