On Lake Tai, a small boat was slowly advancing.
An old beggar in tattered clothes picked his teeth with a toothpick. He glanced sideways at the little beggar sitting at the stern and shook his head."The things you make are really not good. They are far inferior to that naughty girl.”
The little beggar had a strong body. As he paddled, he said honestly,"Rong 'er's cooking is the best in the world. I'm naturally far inferior.”
"Hmph, how many delicacies have you eaten before? How dare you comment that you're the best in the world?”The old beggar said in disdain and sighed,"However, that little girl's cooking is really good. This old beggar ate in the imperial palace for a month. Those delicacies are not as good as the little girl's cooking.”
"Old Senior, you've eaten in the Imperial Palace before? Shouldn't that be called the Imperial Kitchen?" the little beggar asked curiously.”
The old beggar showed off." You don't understand. There are tens of thousands of people in the palace. How can a kitchen take care of all of them?" The imperial kitchen was a kitchen specially designed for the emperor and concubines to eat. Only the rarest ingredients were used. Any one of the imperial chefs in the kitchen could beat the chefs in Immortal Crane Restaurant by a hundred streets.”
"The Jingshan kitchen is much worse. It's a kitchen for eunuchs and palace maids to eat. The chef's skills are mediocre, but after all, they use the best ingredients abandoned by the imperial kitchen. The taste is two grades higher than the big restaurants in the Holy Capital!”
The little beggar was a little stunned and followed up,"Then why didn't you go to the imperial kitchen to eat?”
The old beggar rolled his eyes and said unhappily,"Do you think the emperor is inviting me to dinner? The guards in the dining room were lax, so no one found me even when I hid on the beam. However, the imperial kitchen was dedicated to serving the emperor and concubines. From washing the vegetables to carrying them away, they had to go through thirty-six checks. Even a mosquito would find it difficult to hide. Not to mention me, even the Three Great Masters of the pugilistic world wouldn't have the guts to steal food from the imperial kitchen.”
The little beggar stopped paddling and looked ahead in a daze.
"What?" The old beggar glanced at him. Do you want to eat the delicacies of the imperial kitchen? Even I don't have the fortune to do so. You silly boy, you're daydreaming.”
The little beggar shook his head." I miss Rong 'er. Her father caught her and brought her back for a blind date. I don't know when we'll see each other again."”
"What a silly boy. The little girl is about to get married, and you're still here accompanying an old beggar like me. It's only natural that you can't get a wife.”The old beggar said disdainfully.
"Then what should I do?" the little beggar asked.”
"Since it's a blind date, everyone naturally has a chance. You should compete too!”
"Can…can I?"
"Although I don't get along with Huang Laoxie, I still have some face. I won't chase you out of the island directly," the old beggar said. As for whether he can choose you as his son-in-law, it will depend on your ability.”
"That's great. Then let's go to Peach Blossom Island to find Rong 'er!”
The little beggar said excitedly. He circulated his power in his palm and let out a dragon's roar. He controlled the oars to move as fast as flying.
"Silly boy, slow down. I'm not teaching you Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm for rowing a boat!”The old beggar roared.
……
At the same time, Ye QingChen brought Yao Yue and the others to Jiangnan.
The local government had received the notice early on, and Jiangnan Province Governor Di Renjie had personally led a team to welcome them.
Ye QingChen didn't disguise himself and followed Di Renjie into the Jiangnan Dao Governor's Mansion.
The banquet was held to welcome the wind, and the wine was drunk three times.
Di Renjie put down his wine glass and asked carefully,""Your Highness Sword King, why did you come to Jiangnan this time?”
As soon as he said that, all the accompanying officials turned to look at Ye QingChen.
They had no choice. The Embroidered Uniform Guards under Ye QingChen were too similar to the East Military Hall. They couldn't help but think of the East Military Hall.
According to the style of the East Chamber in the past, no matter where they went, a large number of officials would fall. The higher the official, the more dangerous it was.
Hence, when these people found out that Ye QingChen was coming, they felt uneasy.
Ye QingChen smiled," It's nothing big. It's just a murder case." Governor Di also came from the prison in his early years, so he might have to rely on you.”
Unexpectedly, Di Renjie's expression immediately changed when he said that. The other officials also looked a little unnatural.
"What's wrong? Did this king say something wrong?" Ye QingChen retracted his smile and slowly asked.
Di Renjie sighed softly." I'm ashamed to say this. Recently, hundreds of murder cases have occurred in the Jiangnan area. I and the officials of the Daoist Manor have been very busy.”
"Oh? There was actually someone who dared to cause trouble under Governor Di's rule?”Ye QingChen asked in surprise.
In a rich area like Jiangnan, hundreds of murders had occurred in a row. This was definitely not a small matter.
At the very least, in this year's Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs assessment, all the Jiangnan Road officials could forget about getting excellent results.
No wonder these people all had bitter expressions when the murder case was mentioned.
"You flatter me, Sword King." Di Renjie smiled bitterly. Although I've handled some murder cases, I can't handle hundreds of cases at the same time.”
" There are so many murders. Most of them should be committed by the same person or the same faction. Governor Di, have you noticed the similarities between these murders?" Ye QingChen asked.”
"There are all kinds. Some ordinary people went missing for no reason, and their headless bodies were found the next day. There were also martial arts masters who were killed in secret chambers, all of whom died due to their own unique skills. Some time ago, there was a massacre in Jiaxing. The entire Lu family, hundreds of people, were all killed, and the manor was burned down.”Di Renjie said helplessly.
This time, he was considered to have encountered a natural disaster. There were more than a hundred murders. If he could not catch the murderer as soon as possible, he would definitely be removed from his position as governor next year.
Ye QingChen heard the last sentence and his palm trembled,""You said that the Lu Clan was wiped out?"
