Chapter 5: The Hidden Master

Zhang Jizu was lying on the bed, turning over and over how he couldn't sleep, as long as the wooden bed under him moved, it would make a squeaky sound, and he felt that the broken bed might fall apart at any time, in addition, Zhang Jizu was a little sad when he thought of the future landing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Jizu is so old, when will he worry and worry about a few dollars and what to eat for the next meal.

"Hey! Who caused the Zhang family to suffer a catastrophe? Zhang Jizu couldn't help sighing, glanced at Ali who was sleeping on the floor, and smiled bitterly.

"It's still Ali's heart, and I don't know if I'm worried, it's just that the sky is falling, and I still eat and sleep well."

Zhang Jizu moved his body again, wanting to change to a more comfortable position, and suddenly felt that something seemed to be slumping his waist where he was lying. So, Zhang Jizu simply sat up and lifted the mattress, and it turned out that there were several books spread on the bed board.

"Huh? It's really weird, a pig slaughterer still reads books, and he can't sleep anyway, but look at what kind of books these are? Zhang Jizu thought about some of the situation just now, and became interested again, so he took out all the books under the bed. They are all books in thread binding, but they are indeed well preserved, and there is not a single page on them, but it can also be seen that these books should be some years old. Zhang Jizu took the oil lamp and put it at the head of the bed, sat cross-legged on the bed and looked through these books, and found that they were all books about medicine for a long time, but Zhang Jizu didn't know anything about medicine, so he didn't have any interest.

""Collection of Grievances" and "Records of Clearing Grievances", it seems that I have heard of it somewhere! Yes, this is a forensic science book, it seems to have been written by a man named Song Ci in the Song Dynasty, I remember when I went to Italy, there was a museum there that introduced this book, saying that it was the world's first forensic science book, and it was only three hundred and fifty years later that the Italian Fidelis wrote a similar work. This little butcher is still working on this book, and I really underestimate him. Zhang Jizu thought while flipping through the book in front of him. Judging by his speech and demeanor, he is different from other ordinary people in the market, is he a worldly master who lives in seclusion here? However, it's not right, he is too young after all, that is, about twenty years old, how can he be a master in the world? Does he have a story to tell? ”

Zhang Jizu was still thinking about it, and suddenly heard very light footsteps outside the door, "It's not dawn yet, why did someone get up so early?" Zhang Jizu was curious, so he got off the ground, walked lightly to the door, looked out through the worm hole on the wooden door, the outside was not too dark, but it was also gray, it was estimated that it was only about four o'clock in the morning at most, and there was a figure walking quickly in the gloom.

"It seems to be the little butcher, where is he going so early?" Zhang Jizu gently opened the door and tiptoed to follow the black shadow in front of him.

Zhang Jizu's eyes were staring at the black shadow tightly, but he didn't dare to get too close, he just turned the mouth of a small alley, and then looked at the black shadow but it was gone. "It's strange, why can't you see anyone all of a sudden?" Zhang Jizu had a question mark in his heart.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with you?" Suddenly, Liu Sisheng's voice sounded from behind Zhang Jizu, Zhang Jizu turned around suddenly, and was surprised to see the little butcher standing in front of him looking at him coldly.

"Oh, this? Please don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, so I'll ......" Zhang Jizu is very honest.

"Curious? Curious about what? Are you curious about my identity? I'm guessing you've flipped through the books I put under the bed, right? Liu Sisheng asked again with flashing eyes.

"Well, I really didn't mean to, but how do you know?" Zhang Jizu asked in surprise.

"Whether you have malicious intentions or not, whether it is intentional or not, I don't really care, it's just that I'm a little suspicious of your identity now, and you have curiosity, but with my little tricks, you can't see it, can you be a detective just by relying on these two moments? Hey, but I'm all worried about it, whether you're a detective or not has anything to do with me, as long as you rent a house and pay for it. Liu Sisheng shook his head as he spoke, bypassing Zhang Jizu and continuing to drive him.

"It's not my fault to rummage through your stuff and follow you, but can you tell me how you know?" Zhang Jizu still didn't give up, and shouted at Liu Sisheng's back.

"You can see it all when you look at your hands. Oh, and by the way, don't forget to put them back when you're done reading my books. Liu Sisheng's voice came from afar.

Zhang Jizu hurriedly spread out his palms and immediately understood, it turned out that there was a lot of white powder stuck on the palms of his hands at some point, and even some on the sleeves. "No wonder Liu Sisheng can find himself, it seems that these white powders betrayed me, it seems that this little butcher is really not simple, and he has left a hand in advance, those books must have been coated with this powder a long time ago. Ay! It seems that he was really careless. Zhang Jizu appeared, so he had to return to the hut in a huff.

At this time, the sky was already bright, Zhang Jizu pushed the door into the house and saw Ali as if he was going out, seeing Zhang Jizu coming back, Ali let out a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, my young master, where did you go if you didn't sleep?" I woke up and found that the young master was not there, but I was frightened, no, I was about to go out to find you. ”

Ali immediately noticed the white powder on Zhang Jizu's hands and body, and asked, "Young Master, ...... are you?" ”

"Ali, don't ask, go find me some water to wash, look at my embarrassed appearance." Zhang Jizu didn't let Ali finish his words, so he interrupted him.

Ali agreed and went to find a basin of water, Zhang Jizu took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and was about to put his hands into the water, but at this moment, he saw a cold light flashing, right in front of Zhang Jizu's water basin, the water basin was hit and fell to the ground with a "bang", and the water was also sprinkled all over the ground. Zhang Jizu was so frightened that he screamed, hurriedly took a few steps back, and then saw that the flying thing was a broad-bladed short knife, Zhang Jizu didn't recognize what kind of knife this was, but Ali recognized it, Ali shouted: "Young master, it must have been the little butcher who did it, this is his pig-killing knife." ”

"Yes, that's me." Before Ali's words fell, a figure walked in, who else could it be, it was Liu Sisheng.

Ah Li suddenly stretched out his arms to protect Zhang Jizu behind him, and then stared at Liu Sisheng with fierce eyes.

"Little Brother Liu, we have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, I, I just read your book, you, you don't need to use a knife!" Zhang Jizu was stunned, and his voice was still a little trembling.

"Look at you cowardly, where you look like a little detective. Rest assured, I'm here to save you, not what you think. Liu Sisheng squinted at the embarrassed master and servant, and said with a little disdain.
