Chapter 32 Murder Cases
Wei Que is very interesting.
At least Zhao Rong felt that Wei Que was the first person he had come into this world and could be called interesting.
This man has a carefree personality and looks a bit rough, but he knows how to do things, speaks, astronomy, geography, and anecdotes of the government and the country. Anyway, when he says that, even the person with a lower laugh point will not help but laugh.
In less than a noon, Zhao Rong and Wei Que became good brothers with similar stinky tastes.
Maybe it's because they don't have to worry about their words or the two people have some similar personalities. Anyway, this guy Wei Que makes Zhao Rong feel very comfortable.
From Wei Que, Zhao Rong was able to find some figures from his previous life. Once upon a time, he had chatted and bragged with his friends heartlessly. Unfortunately, those times have passed. In this life, according to his current identity, it is almost impossible to return to such unrestrained time.
Therefore, Zhao Rong cherished this friend even more. Even though Wei Que was two or three years older than him, he still called him Brother Wei.
"Brother Wei, call the brothers together at noon. I'll be in the Mingyue Tower to invite everyone to have a meal." Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhao Rong stretched and said casually while looking at some past information and files that Wei Que had found for him.
This is Zhao Rong's experience in his previous life. No matter where he works, the first step is to establish a good relationship between the upper and lower levels.
"Mr. Zhao, this is probably not good, right?"
Wei Que had already started swallowing his saliva, but he still said modestly, "You are Shangguan, and you took office the first day. If you still ask you to pay for it yourself, this may be..."
"Then, why don't you treat me?" Zhao Rong said deliberately.
"Sir, don't, I'm a poor man, a real poor man, I'm not a single oil or water." Wei Que shook his head repeatedly. This is not the time to hold on. You should know that if you invite someone to have a meal at Mingyue Tower, the top Mingyue Tower in Jinling City, with his meager salary, I'm afraid I'll have to save two or three months without eating or drinking.
"Bah, I know you are going to save money to visit the 16th floor. Okay, I'm happy today and treat you to a good meal." Zhao Rong said, and asked Wei Que to quickly arrange the servants in the government office, and then called Zhao Tie to instruct, "You go back to the mansion. If the young lady asks, you say that I will invite my colleagues to dinner at noon and will not go back to the mansion."
After the settlement here, Wei Que also called over a dozen officers from the Command Office over there.
When they heard that Zhao Rong wanted to invite everyone to Mingyue Tower for a meal, the old fried dough sticks in the yamen were excited. After all, depending on their salary, they probably wouldn't be able to go to Mingyue Tower for the whole year.
Mingyue Tower is a place where high-ranking officials and nobles in Jinling City invite guests. It is said that even the emperor is greedy for the food cooked by the chefs here.
Zhao Rong was not clear about these things about Mingyuelou. He just heard Zhao Xichun talk about how well the food in Mingyuelou was cooked, so he decided to ask the brothers in the yamen to have a meal.
Let’s talk about the group who arrived at Mingyue Tower, there was no big deal of bullying customers. The clerk from Mingyue Tower met the second floor room from afar. There were exactly two tables in the private room, which could just fill up more than ten people from the Dongcheng Commanding Office.
Zhao Rong, Wei Que, the famous master of the command department, Song Gongming, the official in charge of the documents, Li Wenbin, and the headmaster Xing Daye, who was in charge of the arrest and pursuit of the murderer, sat at the table.
Master Song and Captain Xing were a little older, while Li Wenbin was only older than Zhao Rong and Wei Que, but they were both very talkative.
Master Song may be concerned about Zhao Rong's identity and was a little restrained. Captain Xing, Li Wenbin and Wei Que had just sat down and boasted about it.
While boasting about himself, Wei Que did not forget to compliment Zhao Rong. He picked up gossips he heard from somewhere, and said to everyone with a voice changing voice, "If you want to say that we are truly a romantic figure, I think it is Mr. Rong. Last year, Miss Lu Yi from Baihua Building came out of the house, and Mr. Rong spent a lot of money and finally got the beauty back. It is said that Chen Ziyi, the young master of the Duke of Qi, broke several purple clay teapots because of this."
"What's this? Two years ago, do you still remember that Mr. Rong sent thousands of votes to win the courtesan ceremony on the 16th floor of Jinling? "Li Wenbin also agreed. Anyway, the romantic things that Zhao Rong stayed on the banks of the Qinhuai River made them say that they could not finish it for three days and three nights.
Zhao Rong was so depressed.
It seems that the ex-committee of his body has done a lot of unreliable things, and it is no wonder that Qin Keqing now has a scrutiny and observational look at him.
"Come on, drink and drink, what are you talking about?" Zhao Rong was afraid that these boys would become less and less obscured when they said it, and the more they said it, the more outrageous they became, so he quickly raised his glass and changed the topic.
Master Song also saw the embarrassment in Zhao Rong's expression and interrupted from the side. With the intentional or unintentional cooperation, a group of silly boys were indeed taken to start drinking with each other.
When the food was served, everyone feasted and drank a big bowl of wine.
Not to mention that Wei Que and others who had never eaten this delicacy, even Zhao Rong, who had been feasting on his wealth for several months, couldn't help but exclaim when facing this table of delicacies, because in terms of workmanship and color, the chef's craftsmanship is definitely top-notch.
Zhao Rong chewed slowly, but couldn't resist these boys. Seeing that the dishes had not yet been put firmly, several pairs of chopsticks had already started to compete. Zhao Rong was not caring about the gentleness after eating them, and joined the ranks of competition.
This made them closer together, which Zhao Rong unexpectedly unexpectedly.
Just when everyone was having a good time eating and drinking, the officer who was staying in the yamen by Captain Xing to take charge of the commander's office suddenly broke up.
Without waiting for a question, the yamen runner called Li Wuchang gasped and said, "Sir, no, a murder occurred near the Dongcheng Gate!"
"Murder?"
These two words instantly scared everyone who was immersed in joy just now. The hot-tempered Captain Xing asked even more impatiently, "Little Five, don't talk nonsense. How could a murder occur in broad daylight?"
Li Wuchang was also a little anxious, gestured and stuttered, "It was the corpse found in a broken courtyard, and everyone had already started to rot..."
Before Li Wuchang finished speaking, Zhao Rong immediately said, "This matter is very important and not careless. Master Song, you and the rest of your brothers will eat first. I will take Wei Que, Lao Xing and Xiao Wuzi, and go and take a look."
