14. Seniors are pretending

After filling herbal tea, Tan Mo half-closed his eyes comfortably. If this venue was not suitable, he would be able to doze off now.

At this time, Master Lianhua stood up, reached out and knocked on his bald head, "Let's go, junior brother."

Tan Mo opened his eyes wide, quickly carried the bamboo box and followed him. After walking a few steps, he remembered that the tea money had not been given. However, when he turned around, he saw the constable who had just talked to Master Lotus. He shouted at the teahouse and said that Master Lotus's tea money was on his head. But just looking at his bright "official body" costume, how dare the teahouse owner take his money?

Not only that, they also have to invite them to have a good meal.

Looking back, Master Lianhua kept stepping down. Tan Mo was very surprised after following him. He couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Abbot, didn't you agree to that constable? Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'll go and inquire about what kind of murder case has happened recently. It can actually alarm the county government and let those iron roosters pay out of their own pockets." Master Lotus looked ahead and said.

Tan Momu had a face. He didn't know what Master Lianhua said about the county government and what was wrong with it, so he chose not to speak out.

When Master Lianhua saw Tan Mo like this, he knew in his heart that Tan Mo was not very clear. In addition, he had the intention to cultivate Tan Mo, so he spoke out to Tan Mo and explained to Tan Mo: "This county government is different today."

Tan Mo nodded. There were several rebels in the world, and the heroes were in power. In some remote places, they had long since stopped recognizing the Qing Dynasty. The county governments in this place naturally lost their former prestige.

A phoenix with hair fallen is not as good as a chicken.

"Many places, yamen have been abandoned, and officials like constables have naturally been smashed to their jobs. Then do you know why there are county yamen in Ningjia County?" Master Lianhua continued to ask.

The county town that Luowan Town belongs to is Ningjia County.

In addition to Luowan Town, there are four towns, Blue and White Town, Jing'an Town, Shi Town, and Tengwang Town.

Among them, Luowan Town, Qinghua Town, Jing'an Town and Shi Town are all towns that existed in Ningjia County and are considered to be the four ancient towns. As for Tengwang Town, it has only been built for a few years, but because of a prince, when he fled, he brought a lot of wealth and population. The town is now extremely prosperous and can be called the number one town in Ningjia County.

"But because of that prince?" Tan Mo said after thinking about it.

"It's not enough to have that King Teng alone." Master Lianhua looked profound and shook his head slowly, "King Teng is not a prince, but just a prince. He is far from the throne and his status is far from enough. But no matter how bad it is, King Teng is also a prince of the Qing court. He has great reputations and righteousness. Therefore, for the gentry in Ningjia County, it is not a life-saving straw! It's a life-saving elixir!"

Tan Mo shook his head and said directly: "Senior Brother Abbot, I still don't understand."

He is a time traveler, not native to him, and many things are very fresh to him.

"With the title of King Teng, the county government in Ningjia County has the value of continuing to exist. The county government is still there, so the identities of these gentry masters are naturally noble, which makes the other people in Ningjia County dare not have the idea of ​​resisting and can continue to act arrogantly and dominate."

Tan Mo now understands.

"Senior brother, what you mean is that although they have maintained their identity in the name of King Teng, in the final analysis, they are still in name only. In this case, how could the county government still try the case? It also gives a bounty to offer a reward to arrest. There is definitely something strange about this case!"

Master Lianhua nodded, very satisfied with Tan Mo's understanding at this age. He couldn't help but exclaim that this bone heart is worthy of being a taboo.

Tan Mo didn't know why Master Lotus looked at him because he had traveled through time. He did not have a deep understanding of the system of this place and had a slightly stupid understanding.

But since it is of praise, then you must be humble.

So Tan Momu put his face on his face, put his hands together, and said nothing, as if he was humble.

Then, he saw Master Lotus reach out and push him like "Go to Pikachu" and said, "I noticed just now that the soles of those detectives are wet. The climate is hot and it has not rained today, so they have definitely just come from the river."

Tan Mo looked at it and found that there was indeed someone by the river not far away, so he nodded and ran over.

Those who live by the river are all fishermen.

But not many, only three families look like.

At the door of their house, each of them turned over and placed a black-sailed boat with some branches covered with branches. When two barefoot children saw Tan Mo, one of them shouted: "Little monk, what are you doing? If you want to eat, go to the inn and teahouse there. I don't have anything to eat."

The sound sounded like a man and a woman, but it was vaguely distinguishable from the other party's dirty little face that it was a girl. So Tan Momu had a face and corrected it seriously: "That's called Huazhai."

"What is Huazhai?" The little girl blinked her black eyes, as if she was the first time she heard the word Huazhai.

Tan Mo thought about it and felt that if he had a profound understanding, he might face a hundred thousand whys, so he said, "I just ask what you want to eat."

"Isn't that just begging?" the little girl stared at Tan Mo.

Tan Mo: "..."

Isn’t Beggar Zhai a better sound? Are monks shameless?

You are really worthy of a beating.

With a heart whispering in his heart, Tan Mo saw the adults of the two children coming out and asked one of them: "What's wrong with the little master?"

"Donor, the young monk is Master Lotus. He was invited by several constables to investigate a murder case..." Before Tan Mo finished speaking, the man nodded and said as soon as he heard Master Lotus, "Those senders have come here to ask if we have salvaged the bodies of people in the river recently."

This person spoke very quickly and seemed to be urgent, so his word order was a bit messy.

Tan Mo clasped his hands together and had to say, "Can you tell me in detail? The little monk thanked the donor."

The man's face froze, but he nodded quickly and said it all in a simplified manner, but he still said it very quickly.

After listening to him, Tan Mo thanked him again, and then went to find Master Lotus.

When he found it, Master Lotus was meditating under a shade of a tree.

Tan Momu had a face and wiped his sweat, then walked over and said, "Senior Brother Abbot, I've inquired. Those constables have indeed been there, and they also asked if they had salvaged the bodies of the people."

"Tell me carefully."

"Yes." Tan Mo said it again.

After hearing this, Master Lotus was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The donor lied and they salvaged it, but they then threw it away because they were afraid of trouble."

Tan Mo still had a hunched face. He heard this and asked, "Senior Brother, we can directly ask those constables and ask why we have to inquire by ourselves?"
