Chapter 42 There are always a few who don't have long eyes (5/63)
“That’s natural.”
Xu Buling nodded: "But don't shake me out. If you have any questions, put a high hat on Xiao Ting's head. Anyway, they don't dare to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to verify..."
Zhu Manzhi nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, hung the bronze plaque back to his waist, and laughed:
"After entering the emperor's camp, I can go to the document library to check the files. When I find my father's whereabouts, I will not be a constable and will be a guard for Mr. Xu."
Xu Buling raised his eyebrows: "Miss Zhu, are you sure you are a guard for me, not finding a backer for yourself?"
Zhu Manzhi was quite familiar with her and said with a smile: "Young Master has helped me so much, I have to repay you, right? You have a property in the twelve states of yourselves, and you don't care about money. You can only be a guard. Just don't dislike me..."
Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled, "Don't say that these are all available, have you entered the document library?"
Zhu Manzhi was a little serious and a little disappointed: "I went in. The document library was very large. The bookshelf containing the files was several meters high. Hundreds of bookshelf piled together... My parents left me and ran away from home last year. At that time, there seemed to be a mess in the Fenhe area. The leaders of several gangs were killed. I found the case in the document library. Unfortunately, the case has not been solved yet, and I can't find who the murderer is..."
Xu Buling frowned: "Isn't that in vain?"
Zhu Manzhi nodded listlessly: "This method doesn't work, so I can only find a warrior of the same age as my father. I don't know how powerful my father is. There are hundreds of masters named Zhu in the document library, and I don't know when I can read it."
"Don't worry, the Investigation Department supervises the world. Basically, famous figures from all over Dayue can't escape the Investigation Department's eyewitness. You will always find it after surveillance."
Xu Buling comforted him a few words.
Zhu Manzhi nodded and said 'um', after thinking for a while, he said, "By the way, Mr. Xu, I went to find news about the Dragon Lock Gu, but the Dragon Lock Gu disappeared more than ten years ago. The document library only records of cases and has no source reconciliation method..."
Xu Buling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a little surprise: "Do you have the intention... Are you sure you have seen it all?"
Zhu Manzhi shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed: "The document warehouse contains some secrets from the royal family, which are not available in all places. There is also a small library in the document warehouse, which is specially used to store important case files. Several officials stayed there for many years. If the case involves something inside, Lord Zhang will take people in to check it out, and no one is allowed to go in alone."
Xu Buling thought for a moment: "Sneaking in?"
Zhu Manzhi kicked the small stones on the ground with his hands behind his back, a little listless:
"I naturally wanted to sneak in and take a look, but Lord Zhang was inside and was caught sneaking in, but something big happened."
Xu Buling chuckled: "This is simple, I'll call Zhang Xiang out and hold him back. You can find an opportunity to go in and check the file and see if there is any record of the Dragon Lock Gu."
Zhu Manzhi pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Xu, breaking into the case document library is a serious crime, and it is possible to lose one's head...I...I'm timid..."
Xu Buling shook his head: "My eldest son of King Su, if the truth is revealed, you will say that you have a good relationship with me. You just want to find your father to come back and break through. No one can touch you if I am."
Zhu Manzhi thought about it for a while and then smiled: "Okay, I believe Mr. Xu..."
"A gentleman's words are as good as he can."

On the other side, the quarry outside Chang'an City.
The towering buildings in Chang'an City are successively scattered, and the stone consumption is bound to be huge. Dayue does not have a railway transportation line, and merchant ship stones are too luxurious, and they usually use local materials.
Without explosives and other help, quarrying is not an easy job. In the cold winter, countless corvees were wearing single clothes under the open-air mountain walls, and used iron hammers to break the huge raw stones. Most corvees were skinny and a little lazy, and if they were a little lazy, there were supervisors holding whips to scold them.
In a small house outside the quarry, the house that has just been converted into a study still has the smell of paint.
The carved soft couch is placed under the window, and you can see the busy corvee outside in a blink of an eye.
Li Tianlu was wearing a cloth clothes and sat on the couch playing with a paper knife in his hand. His eyes were filled with unconcealed anger and haze. The servants were all silent and stayed outside.
It is said that Li Tianlu was punished to come for labor service, but the Li family had a very good status in Chang'an City. They came here honestly in a prison cart just to act so as not to annoy the court officials and the emperor. But if you really want him to have the legitimate son of the Li family to eat with a group of labor service, you can't even think about it.
After two days of coming here, the houses had been neatly tidied by the quarry's clerks.
Li Tianlu waited for a moment on the soft collapse, and a carriage stopped in the quarry. The imperial guards led the way. Li Baoyi, a Zhongyong Hou in a regular uniform, quickly entered the room and took the door with him.
"father!"
Li Tianlu stood up, with a slightly restrained anger on his face, and asked softly:
"Dad, when will I go back to Chang'an City?"
Li Baoyi walked up to him with his hands behind his back and said calmly:
"Don't think about it in the past two months. It was the time when the limelight was at its peak. When someone caught it, he hit the knife."
Li Tianlu knew this truth and could only wait for the news of the wind to go over and the court officials and the people to forget about this matter, so that they would have the opportunity to sneak back and continue to be his Li family son.
The Li family in Gaoshou Street finally founded a daily gold-making industry in Baimazhuang. Now it has been banned by the official, and Li Tianlu is naturally angry:
"This Xiao Ting, I used to treat him like a brother, but I never thought that he was so ignorant..."
Li Baoyi shook his head: "We can't afford to offend the Xiao family in Huainan, but the female captain must not let it go. The wolf guard did not say hello in advance, and it must be the female captain who took his own initiative or was bewitched by the Xiao family, so he dared to get into the Tai Sui's head."
Li Tianlu's eyes showed a little chill: "Send someone now..."
"Hey!" Li Baoyi raised his hand to stop Li Tianlu's words: "Don't be impatient. Something happened in Baimazhuang. If the female constable died now, a fool would think that it was my Li family's hands and feet. Arrange the manpower first, and in a few days, the wind in Baimazhuang will be suppressed and cleaned to prevent future troubles."
Li Tianlu couldn't suppress his anger, but he knew that the revenge was too conspicuous at this time, so he had to snort:
"It's too cheap to kill her. If it falls into my hands..."
