Chapter 171: Short Sword

Back in Weinan County, Li Maicheng, Bai Ruoxue, Wu Shitong, and Chenchen, the four of them walked on the bustling street.

Li Maicheng said: "Chenchen, have Xing'er seen your current appearance?"

Chenchen replied: "I haven't seen it, she usually looks like a cat when she sees me." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, your cat son Xingxing has been rescued by us in the bamboo forest." ”

Chenchen replied, "Thank you, brother." ”

At this time, Bai Ruoxue touched Chenchen's cat ears and said, "Chenchen, do you know where the aphrodisiac shop is?"

Chenchen replied, "Sister, I know. ”

At this time, Li Maicheng said: "Ruoxue, we have been there." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Maicheng, I know, I thought that this kitten had been staying in the small mountain village outside the city before." ”

Chenchen replied: "Sister Ruoxue, I didn't, Sister Xing'er has brought me to this county many times, and she also took me to eat my favorite mutton skewers." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay, then we'll take you to eat too." ”

Then Bai Ruoxue stopped at a stall selling mutton skewers and said to the vendor selling mutton skewers, "Twenty skewers of mutton skewers." ”

The peddler replied, "Yes, guest officer." ”

Then Li Maicheng paid the silver taels, and they sat down one by one, and after a while, the twenty skewers of mutton came up. Chenchen hadn't eaten this lamb skewer for a long time, he ate it in a big gulp, and it was so fragrant.

Bai Ruoxue touched Chenchen's cute face and said, "Chenchen, eat slowly, there are many more." ”

Chenchen replied, "Okay, but this lamb skewer is too delicious and fragrant." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Yes, then eat more." ”

And Li Maicheng was eating the mutton skewers, and he also ate them very deliciously, and while eating, he said: "Shitong, this mutton skewers in the Western Regions are really delicious." ”

Wu Shidao: "Yes, not only are mutton skewers delicious in the Western Regions, but also mutton steamed buns, mutton water basins, hand pilaf, large plates of chicken are very good, and of course there are a lot of fine wines." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay then." ”

The few of them ate the lamb skewers with relish, and after eating, they left the mutton skewer stall.

They continued to walk on the street, and Li Maicheng said, "Chenchen, let's send you to the rejuvenation pill shop first." ”

Chenchen replied, "Okay, thank you, Brother Maicheng." ”

Li Maicheng said to Wu Shitong: "Shitong, you go back to the inn first, and Ruoxue and I will send Chenchen." ”

Wu Shidao: "Okay, senior brother. ”

Then Wu Shitong separated from Li Maicheng, and then went back to Weishan Inn along that street.

And Li Maicheng, Bai Ruoxue, and Chenchen, the three of them went to the Rejuvenation Inn.

Chen Chen said: "Sister Ruoxue, you hug me, I'm going to become a little orange cat." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay, you can change." ”

Then Chenchen turned into a little orange cat, and Bai Ruoxue held it, held it in her arms, and touched its head.

Gradually, the three of them came to the aphrodisiac shop, and after entering, the apricot girl was there to help.

Xing'er said: "Maicheng, Ruoxue, you are here, I see that my family Chenchen is back." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Yes, I rescued it back." ”

Then Xing'er took the little orange cat, hugged it in her arms and said, "I saw that Chenchen has been hungry and thin in the past few days, and I must have said a lot of bitterness." ”

Chenchen meowed a few times, and looked at Apricot with his eyes blank. She said, "Chenchen, are you hungry?" ”

Chenchen meowed a few more times, Xing'er understood what it meant, and then went to look for something to eat.

At this time, seeing that Zhou Langzhong was giving the people a pulse, Li Maicheng was very curious, and went over and said, "Zhou."

Lang Zhong, your medical skills are really good. ”

Zhou Langzhong said: "Maicheng, you have won the prize." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Zhou Langzhong, I went to the Demon Shock Pavilion today to pick up your orange cat. ”

Zhou Langzhong said: "Thank you, Maicheng." Let's eat here in a moment. ”

Li Maicheng said: "No, my wife and I should go back to the inn." ”

Zhou Langzhong said: "Okay, then you have time to come to play with me." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Zhou Langzhong." ”

Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue left the aphrodisiac shop and went back to the Weishan Inn.

Back at the Weishan Inn, it was getting dark, and they were sitting in the room.

Li Maicheng said to Bai Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, I'll ask Xiaotian about going to the county office." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay, Maicheng." ”

Then Li Maicheng entered Zhou Xiaotian's room, and he said, "Xiaotian, how about you go to the county government today?"

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Senior brother, I went to the county government today, and together with Tian Zhutou, I explored Zhao Daguan's house, and found that the robbery method was the same as that of Wang Daguan's house last time. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then have you found any clues?"

Zhou Xiaotian said: "There is a clue, but it was discovered by Chu Yiqiu, he found a short sword in Zhao Daguan's house, with the word "Dahan" written on it. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Then what are the clues?"

Zhou Xiaotian replied: "Coincidentally, today, the Wang Daguan also sent a short sword from home, and the word 'Dahan' was also written on it. ”

Li Maicheng said: "There is such a coincidence?

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Tian Zhutou said, they saw that the short sword, it was not made by them in Weinan County, it was more like it came from the Han Dynasty, but there are very few Han people in their city, and there are even fewer demons in the Han Dynasty, even the demons are also local, so Tian Zhutou pointed the first suspicion at us." ”

Li Maicheng was very angry when he heard this, and he said: "That Chu Yiqiu is really going to blame, it's really not a thing." ”

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Yes, senior brother, what should we do?"

Li Maicheng said: "Xiaotian, if we want to prove our innocence, we must find a way to catch the rabbit monster and the mouse monster." ”

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Okay, senior brother." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I'll take you to the county government tomorrow, let's meet Tian Zhutou and theorize with him." ”

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Okay then, senior brother." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then I'll sleep." ”

Then Li Maicheng left Zhou Xiaotian's room and went back to his room.

Back in the room, Bai Ruoxue had already fallen asleep, Li Maicheng also took off his clothes, and then fell asleep with him.

After a night, at dawn the next day, Li Maicheng gradually woke up, looking at Bai Ruoxue sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to wake her up, and also hugged Bai Ruoxue and slept for a while.

was asleep, when Zhou Xiaotian knocked on the door, and he shouted: "Senior brother, it's not good, there was another monster robbery in the south of the city last night, but this time someone died." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, you and Wu Shitong will go first, and I will arrive later." ”

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Okay, senior brother." ”

Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue got up, got dressed, Bai Ruoxue combed her hair, wiped her rouge, and then they went to the county office.

When I came to the county office, I saw that Tian Zhutou and Chu Yiqiu were there, and Zhou Xiaotian and Wu Shitong also arrived first.

Tian Zhutou said: "Brother Maicheng, you are here. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Tian Zhutou, let's talk about the situation." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Last night, Qi Youze in the south of the city was robbed of silver taels by monsters, and he was stabbed to death.

He had a short sword with the word 'Great Han' written on it. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then there are witnesses?"

Tian Zhutou said: "Her concubine Wang Hongmei came to report the case, and when I heard her, she saw that it was a scorpion that was capable. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I know." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Then do you still need to go to the scene?"

Li Maicheng said: "Of course you have to go to the scene. ”

At this time, Chu Yiqiu said: "Tian Zhutou, I don't have to go to the scene, I have to go back to the Demon Pavilion for some things." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Okay, then you can go and get busy." ”

Then Chu Yiqiu left the county government and went back to the Demon Pavilion.

And Li Maicheng and the others followed Tian Zhutou to the Qi officials' house in the south of the city to see the scene.

When I came to Qi Daguan's house, I saw that there were already a lot of catchers there. Li Maicheng entered the room and looked at the Qi official lying on the ground, and saw that he had a short sword inserted in his body, so he immediately pulled out the short sword, looked at it carefully, and really saw the word "big man" written on it.

Then Li Maicheng asked Wang Hongmei, the concubine of the Qi officials, and he said, "Xiaomei, what did you see last night?"

Xiaomei replied: "Report to my lord, last night I was sleeping with the Qi officials, and then the scorpion spirit rushed over with this short sword, and then fought with my family officials, my family officials are naturally not the opponent of the scorpion essence, and was stabbed to death by the short sword, and then the scorpion spirit pinched my neck and asked me for silver taels, I was also afraid of death, so I gave him five hundred taels of silver in a treasure box in the house, and then the scorpion spirit fled, and I went to the county government to report the case as soon as it was dawn." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then can you describe what that scorpion spirit looks like?"

Xiaomei replied: "The scorpion has a head that looks like a scorpion, but the body is a human body, and there is a tail that looks very similar to the tail of a scorpion." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I know." ”

At this time, Tian Zhutou said: "Brother Maicheng, do you have a clue?"

Li Maicheng said: "Tian Zhutou, I have a little clue, I think these three burglaries can be said to be committed by a gang, and the members of this gang are rabbit essence, mouse essence and scorpion essence. They robbed the same method, they are all looking for rich people to start, judging from the silver taels they robbed, they are all large amounts, it seems that they are all here for money, and they are not blind, which shows that those monsters are very good at kung fu and are not afraid at all. ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Okay, then how do you think we should catch these three monsters." ”

Li Maicheng said: "I think we should lure the snake out of the hole, lure all the monsters out, and then wipe them out." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Okay, then how to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Li Maicheng said: "Which is the richest in this county?"

Tian Zhutou thought for a while and said: "It is the Jin Yuanqi family in the west of the city, his family is engaged in tea trading, very rich, it is said that his family has 10,000 taels of silver, but it is a pity that his family is heavily guarded, and ordinary bandits can't enter at all." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then we have to find a way to transfer his family's guards away." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "How to transfer away?"

Li Maicheng said: "You can directly find the Jin Daguan and ask him to remove all the guards in his courtyard." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Then I have to find an excuse." ”

Li Maicheng said: "You don't need an excuse, you just said that there is something important to transfer all his guards to the county office." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Okay, let's do that first." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then we will go to Jin Daguan's house now." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Okay, Brother Maicheng." ”

Then Tian Zhutou took a few catchers and went to the house of Jin Daguan in the west of the city with Li Maicheng, Bai Ruoxue, Wu Shitong, and Zhou Xiaotian.
