Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 92 Why Don't You Invite Hu Qian
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Master Ye, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has arrived."

From the door to the inside, everyone automatically moved out of the way.

Xing Ziming also stood up quickly.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in official uniform came in. Seeing Xing Ziming, he looked around and said with a smile, "This place is so lively, it's really not in vain."

Xing Ziming bowed and said, "Xing Ziming of Shannan Prefecture, I have met Master Ye."

Everyone in Yumanlou hurriedly bowed and said, "I've seen Master Ye."

If it was an ordinary official, everyone might not take it too seriously, but it was the time of Qiu Wei, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites appeared here, so there was only one job-the chief examiner.

Lord Ye smiled and said: "Okay, you don't need to be too polite."

He looked at Xing Ziming and said, "I have arrived at the government office. I heard that Mr. Xing is here to handle the case, so I came here to take a look. How about it? Have you found the murderer?"

Xing Ziming looked at Bai Yufeng, saw the latter shaking his head slightly, and said awkwardly: "The suspect Cui San has confessed to the poisoning, I believe the case will be closed soon."

Cui San immediately kowtowed and said, "My lord, the villain just poisoned me, so Huang's death has nothing to do with the villain! I beg you to make the decision for the villain!"

Master Ye frowned and said: "It seems that the speed of closing the case may not be as fast as Master Xing said!"

As he spoke, he looked at the surrounding students, and said solemnly: "The emperor said in the court last time that there have been many disasters and wars along the coast recently, and he is going to select some talents to serve the court.

Now that the official came to take the exam according to the order, some students were killed. If the case is not solved as soon as possible, the students will feel uneasy, how can they prepare for the exam calmly. "

Xing Ziming's expression turned very ugly, "This..."

Lord Ye said again: "If the emperor asks, how should I respond? Lord Xing."

Xing Ziming said: "This... this... the next official will definitely..."

Lord Ye smiled and said, "Since your Excellency finds it difficult, why not make more use of talents."

Xing Ziming said: "Yes, the subordinate's nephew Bai Yufeng is extremely intelligent and has repeatedly solved strange cases in recent years. This time he is also..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lord Ye: "No, I heard that there is a man named Hu Qian in Shannan Prefecture who made great contributions to the student case and was awarded a unicorn suit.

I heard before that he broke the copper coin and silver demon case that made the entire southern officials helpless. I wonder if he is here? "

Du Jianzhi and Guo Yu proudly said: "Yes, yes, Hu Jinggong is here!" After speaking, they pushed Hu Qian together and pushed him in front of Master Ye.

Bai Yufeng was so angry that his face trembled, he clenched his fists, his fingernails almost pierced his palm.

Hu Qian cupped his hands and said, "Student Hu Qian, I have met Lord Ye and Lord Xing."

Master Ye smiled and said: "Okay, he is indeed a good-looking talent.

Hu Qian, I want to ask you, do you have a clue about this case? "

Hu Qian said: "I have roughly known the scope of the murderer, but I still need some time to investigate."

When Bai Yufeng and Xing Ziming heard this, they were both startled.

The students were also full of astonishment, and it was absolutely impossible to secretly think.

Xing Ziming was afraid that his nephew's credit would be taken away, so he said, "Hu Qian, you found it in the end, wouldn't you say that the murderer was Cui San? Bai Yufeng found it first!"

Hu Qian said with a smile: "The students expect that the murderer is definitely not Cui Sanhe and Zhou Zhouliang. As for who it is, we can't say yet, lest the murderer is prepared and escapes."

Master Ye nodded and said: "Okay, then I will give you a seven-day time limit, how about it?"

Hu Qian shook his head.

"Isn't that enough? That's ten days..."

"It's not that it's not enough, it's that it's unnecessary. Students only need one day, and they can find out the murderer before noon tomorrow."

Now it was not only Lord Ye, Xing Ziming, Bai Yufeng and the other students, but even Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi were stunned for a moment.

The two hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, leaned in front of Hu Qian and whispered: "Respect, don't push yourself too hard. If you leave a bad impression on Mr. Ye, you will lose your future."

Hu Qian smiled and said, "My lord, it's settled in this way."

The two had no choice but to stand aside embarrassingly.

Master Ye said: "Okay, you really have courage!"

Afterwards, Master Ye left, and Xing Ziming put Zhou Zhouliang and Cui San in prison, and removed all the yamen servants.

In Yumanlou, only Bai Yufeng, the students living here, and the common people watching the excitement at the gate were left.

Bai Yufeng suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu's face is flushed, it can be seen that today he is going to show off.

It's just that there is a black air in this red light, and tomorrow, you will make a fool of yourself. "

Hu Qian laughed loudly, "I guess Mr. Bai must not have looked in the mirror when he went out today?"

"how do I say this?"

"If you look in the mirror, with your superb physiognomy, how can you not calculate that you will make a fool of yourself here today."

When everyone heard it, they all burst into laughter.

Bai Yufeng was so angry that his veins were showing, and he nodded his head, "Okay, Bai will follow you from now on, let's see how you can find the murderer within a day!"

Hu Qian was stunned, and joked: "My ability to solve cases is not rumored. If you want to learn, at least bring 1000 taels of silver first."

Bai Yufeng didn't answer, just nodded, and then directly took out a 1000 tael silver note from his sleeve and slapped it on the table.

"If you can really learn something, this 1000 taels is nothing. Otherwise, I won't let you go!"

Hu Qian really didn't expect this time, this Bai Yufeng was arrogant, but he was also a kind of studious and inquisitive.

He honestly and unceremoniously put away the bank notes, waved his hands and said, "Xiaoer, bring me all your good wine and food here."

Bai Yuefeng said angrily, "That's how you handle cases!"

Hu Qian said: "If you want to learn, study hard, or leave!"

"You!" Bai Yufeng nodded bitterly, "If there is no result at noon tomorrow, I will kill you!"

Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi also worried: "Respect, now is indeed not the time to eat and drink, we don't have much time."

Hu Qian didn't care, took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Hu Jiu, and asked him to listen to him, and whispered a few words.

Hu Jiu smiled and said, "Master, such a simple matter doesn't need ten taels of silver."

Hu Qian said: "The extra money will be rewarded to you."

Hu Jiu's expression brightened, "Thank you, young master!" Then he walked out of the inn quickly.

Bai Yufeng, Guo Yu, and Du Jianzhi were puzzled. If Hu Qian didn't say anything, they couldn't ask any questions.

I thought that Hu Qian would go out to investigate the case after eating something hastily, but he ate and drank, and never left the bench until the evening.

Although Bai Yufeng was angry, he didn't say much, he just gritted his teeth secretly, apparently thinking about how to beat Hu Qian tomorrow.

Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi tried to persuade him twice, but when they saw that Hu Qian ignored him, they didn't persuade him any more, and finally they simply followed Hu Chihai to drink.

Anyway, even if the case can't be solved, at most Hu Qian will get a reputation for arrogance, and thinking about it, it's not a big deal.

Hu Qian ate and drank non-stop here, and the government office heard the report from the yamen servant, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Xing Ziming said: "It seems that Hu Qian is just a crazy student who deceives the world and steals his name."

Ye Daren said: "I don't think so. Seeing that he is confident, he seems to be somewhat sure, but as for what this certainty is, I can't figure it out."

Xing Ziming said: "Let's see what he will say tomorrow, if he says that Cui San and Zhou Zhou Liang are the murderers, then his behavior is really disgusting."
