14. Unlit Lane 4

13.

Zhaoran even screamed in his heart that it was a pity, Wen Zhigeng stood firm and said with a gloomy face: "In winter, where did this bat come from?"

"Someone disturbed the wintering bats in a nearby cave and drove them out. Wang Zeng said.

As his words fell, a short and fat man in the corner of the room came over with a rope in his hand, and saluted Wang Zeng and them: "Master Horse, Buddha, Lord Wen, like a girl." โ€

Wen Zhigeng saw the rope in his hand and said, "What does the rope in his hand do?"

Wang Zeng said: "Explain to Lord Wen." โ€

The Hu steward came to Wen Zhigeng's side and pointed to the roof of the ear room: "Lord Wen, look at this rope connected to the cloth." โ€

Wen Zhigeng smelled a smell of oil smoke on his body, couldn't help covering his nose, snatched the rope in his hand, and ripped off the black cloth covering the ear room in three strokes.

The cloth stinks, Wen Zhigeng endured nausea and bent down to pinch the cloth with his fingers, only to see a viscous liquid between his fingers: "Blood." โ€

"It's fish blood. Steward Hu hurriedly said, "In this winter, it's hard to find food and fish, and it's a shame that the girl said that someone must be doing this business in Wudeng Alley, so we can be considered to have bought it." โ€

Wang Zeng glanced at Zhaoran: "Why must it be the blood of the fish?"

Zhao Ran said: "Pig blood, chicken blood, duck blood, and human blood are easy to dry up, and only dietary blood can be kept moist for a long time." โ€

Wang Zeng raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "I see!"

Someone put the arrangement stained with food and blood on the top of the bell in advance, and the bats that were driven out of the cave were hungry and unbearable, and when it was dark to forage for food, they would naturally find the piece of cloth on the bell tower of Lifu, and when the bats accumulated to a certain extent, someone pulled the cloth down from the bell tower, and the bats flew with the black cloth, and the night fog was filled, and such a strange scene was formed.

Wen Zhigeng's face changed several times, and he sighed clearly: "It's good that Lord Wen wasn't so anxious at the beginning." He sighed in his mouth, he didn't know how happy he was, Wen Zhigeng must have sent the post of the invitation to merit back to Beijing, and this time he slapped himself hard.

Wen Zhigeng chased Zhao Ran before and after I don't know how wolf he was, and finally had to put on a woman's skin, and now that Wen Zhigeng has suffered a dumb loss, how can he be in a bad mood.

"You already knew about it, didn't you?" Wen Zhigeng looked at Zhao Ran and said.

Where would Zhao Ran admit it, shaking his head like a rattle: "Where did I think that there would be bats in winter, and I also came back to ponder the deliciousness of the bowl of noodles in Li Mansion, and suddenly remembered it after pondering." โ€

"That bowl of noodles in the Li Mansion?" Wang Zeng frowned, as if remembering what it was.

"Dry stir-fried noodles. Jiuru interjected.

His voice was clear and elegant, very good, but Zhaoran's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "Little Buddha, you can be regarded as showing a fox's tail!"

"This is a newly popular dish in Kyori. Wen Zhigeng sneered, "The people of the Li Mansion are probably sure that we can't guess his methods." โ€

Zhao Ran said in his heart: "You can't guess, but I guessed!"

Wen Zhigeng arched his hand to Wang Zeng and said: "The lower official wants to go to the Li Mansion to arrest the court criminals, so he will leave first." โ€

Wang Zeng immediately spoke: "I will go with you, they have the intention to murder the princess, how can I sit idly by." โ€

"I'll go too!" Zhao Ran hurriedly interjected, this fan was guessed by him, where could he not follow to see the excitement.

Wang Zeng hesitated slightly, and Wen Zhigeng said, "Let her go." โ€

๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ

The horse mansion also ordered a team of guards to come out, but this time of course there will be no more sedan chairs, Zhaoran saw the tall horse, his heart was itchy, just wanted to step on the horse, was carried by Wang Zeng next to him, let him sit in front of him, and shouted in a low voice: "Sit side!"

Zhaoran ...... in his heart

Wang Zeng's equestrian skills are good, although there are two people immediately, they are not much slower than Wen Zhigeng and Jiuru to reach the Li Mansion, and as soon as the few people stopped, a figure emerged from the dark corner.

"Your Excellency!"

Zhao Ran saw clearly that if that person hadn't been wrapped by Wang Zeng's hands and almost fell off the horse, that person was hunched over, and a pair of thief's eyes were turning around, who was it if he wasn't a dog slave?

Wen Zhigeng frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

The dog slave flattered: "I smell the man's scent......"

Zhaoran's teeth tightened, thinking about what to do, the only way was to kill and deny it, but Wen Zhigeng was not only suspicious but also vicious......

Wen Zhigeng jumped off his horse and asked, "Where is it?"

The dog slave pointed at Li Fu, Zhaoran's body relaxed, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Wen Zhigeng is also very busy, thinking too, how can he only have one enemy himself.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he only felt that the hand around his waist was tightened, and Wang Zeng pressed his ear and said, "In front of outsiders, don't go too far!"

Only then did Zhao Ran notice that he was relieved just now and fell into Wang Zeng's arms.

He was a little embarrassed, and quickly straightened up, and heard Wang Zeng say behind his head: "You don't have to be in a hurry, I promised you, and I will never regret it." โ€

"No hurry, no hurry. Zhao Ran sneered.

Wang Zeng jumped off the horse and helped Zhao Ran down, Zhao Ran didn't want him to help, but the dog slave was in front of him, so he had to show that he had a backer.

The dog slave turned around everyone's body as usual, and didn't stop on Zhaoran's body for any longer, so he flatteringly followed behind Wen Zhigeng.

๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ

Wen Zhigeng stood still in front of the gate of the Li Mansion, the white curtain of the Li Mansion had not been removed, and the white lanterns were still hanging in front of the door, and the faint light was like a thick fog in front of the dark and closed gate.

Suddenly, there was a knock in the distance, as if breaking through the clouds and fog, and the stagnant water mist in front of the door was surging and rolling towards the face.

Wen Zhigeng waved his hand, and the Jinyi guards set up a โ–กโ–ก to surround the Li Mansion, he kicked open the door of the Li Mansion, and with a wave of his hand, another team of Jinyi guards rushed into the door.

After a while, Jin Yiwei came to report: "My lord, I have discovered the secret passage of the dark room. โ€

Wen Zhigeng didn't reply, but looked at the dog slave, who shrugged his nose, grinned, and said flatteringly to Wen Zhigeng in the direction of the bell tower: "They are hiding on it!"

"Okay!" Wen Zhigeng waved his hand, "Surround the clock tower!"

A team of men and horses quickly turned around the inner hall and rushed towards the backyard of the Li Mansion, and Wang Zeng threw a sentence to Zhaoran: "You are waiting outside." After he finished speaking, he also followed Wen Zhigeng towards the clock tower.

The dog slave under the eaves shook his nose, as if he was puzzled, and went to the other side, he turned over the yard twice, suddenly stopped, turned his head and frowned, "Why is this girl following me?"

Zhao Ran stepped out, turned his head and looked around, and said, "I didn't have a good look last time, but after this walk, I found that the Li Mansion is actually very big." โ€

"Li Mansion is the richest man in Rong'an Town, what's so strange about building a big house?"

Zhaoran turned his head and smiled: "It's not strange, but the house is too big, the moonlight is too dark, and I don't have any family members with me for fear of getting lost." โ€

As he was talking, he saw a flower in front of him, and the dog slave in front of him seemed to be gone.

Zhao Ran couldn't help but blink a few times.

๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ

"The autumn lights are bright and green, and the night case is full of compilations. There are many stories in the past. There are few very good talents, and there are also fairies and ghosts, which are trivial and unsightly. It's not about weathering, even if it's good, it's in vain. โ€

I don't know where I heard a few groans.

Zhao Ran was startled, and hurriedly looked left and right, but saw that the light in the high wall next to him was on, and a figure changing clothes appeared from inside.

Only then did he realize that there was a high wall next to it, a screen clearly separated by white gauze, and the candlelight was lit inside.

"You are Mrs. Lee. Zhao Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The white curtain rolled up, and the elevated wooden platform looked a little like a stage, and one person asked in the mirror, "How do you know that I am Mrs. Li?"

"Intuition. โ€

"That girl's intuition is straightforward, and ordinary people would not imagine that a person who has lost a layer of skin is still alive in this world. The quality of the man's voice was elegant and low, like an ancient string, and although the voice of the mother was good, it was far less attractive than the voice of the person in front of him.

Zhao Ran thought to himself, can I tell you that I have lost several layers of skin myself? As for the person who is wanted by Wen Zhigeng of the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households, it is impossible for the dog slave to smell the breath of Ru Niang and his face is expressionless.

"Because of the distance. โ€

"Distance?"

Zhao Ran said: "Although Mrs. Li plays Master Li, she is used to being a woman, and some habits are difficult to change, such as Mrs. and foreign men always keep a distance of one foot away, when the housekeeper comes in with tea, Mrs. also takes back the hand on the table, presumably Mrs. does not care about an old housekeeper, but is used to the difference between men and women." The hem of a woman's skirt was longer than that of a man's dress, so the lady was accustomed to raising her feet higher than the man when she entered the door. โ€

The man sighed lightly: "When I was young, I went out on stage with my father, and everyone praised me for how much I looked like a boy, but I didn't expect to call the girl to see through it at a glance." โ€

Zhao Ranran: "Mrs. Li's appearance is exquisite, but life is always different from the stage." โ€

Mrs. Li said leisurely: "That's right, the stage has been dreaming for a thousand years, but life is always waking up from a beautiful dream, even if the girl chases me here alone, but there is something else to ask me?"

Zhaoran paused and said, "I just wanted to ask, I don't know how Mrs. Li knows how to take skin...... With the skin-changers?"
