After leaving from the military headquarters, it was already noon, and everyone ran to Taibaiju for lunch, while discussing how to go next. "Le > Text" novel wwW. し wxs520.cOm

As soon as I entered the gate of Taibaiju, I saw Xiao Liuzi running over to greet him.

Zhan Zhao looked at the lobby, in the past, the hall was full of Taibaiju's meal, what happened today? Empty and nowhere to be seen.

"Little Six Paper." Xiao Sizi sat on Xigulu's shoulder and asked Xiao Liuzi curiously, "Isn't it open today?" ”

Xiao Liuzi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I don't come to eat today, I guess I went to the north of the city to see the excitement!" ”

Everyone was a little puzzled - watching the excitement?

Zhanzhao's eyelids twitched, and usually when he was lively, it meant that he was in trouble. And there is not much else in Kaifeng City, that is, there are many foodies, for foodies, everything can be less, but lunch must not be missing! How much excitement? Those foodies didn't even eat lunch and went to see it?

"What's going on again?"

While following Xiao Liuzi upstairs, Gongsun asked.

"Tsk." Xiao Liuzi smiled and said, "The gate of the city in the north of the city is open today, and several families who have come to participate in the birthday banquet are going to enter the city. ”

Zhao Pu thought for a moment, "Oh...... Today, it seems that the birthday people of Liao and Western Xia will come, so Ouyang disappeared early in the morning. ”

"Just to see this?" Zhan Zhao felt bored, so it was better to eat.

"The people in Kaifeng City mainly go to see cats!" Xiao Liuzi replied.

"Cats?" Bai Yutang raised his head.

Zhan Zhao also pricked up his ears, "Look at the cat?" ”

"Don't you know, Lord Zhan?" Xiao Liuzi said, "The emperor's birthday is to be celebrated for three days, and one day there is a cat appreciation conference, and the famous cats sent from all over the country will compete." ”

The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched slightly--propped up? Why do you want cats to pay tribute from all over the world? Is it okay to go directly to the red cherry village and find it in his cat nest? Shangkaifeng Mansion can gather hundreds of them with a shout.

"A lot of cats?" Bai Yutang asked.

"That's right!" Xiao Liuzi said, "The first wave just came in just now, and I deliberately didn't cover it with a cloth, just look at it, there are big and small, and it is said that there are some that look like little tigers, and their tails are like feather dusters." ”

Bai Yutang touched his chin lightly and raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Pu shook his head - Zhao Zhen is purely tossing in the mood of having nothing to do.

Gongsun held a teacup and said, "I used to read a cat book, compiled by a cat lover, it is said that there are thousands of cats in the world, with different qualities and different personalities, and the color of the eyes alone has a kind of change." ”

The little fourth son dragged Xigulu.

Xi Gulu looked up at the little fourth son on his shoulder, "Little persimmon paper, I'm hungry, can I go after eating?" ”

Xiao Liuzi lowered his voice and said, "There are also delicious restaurants in the north of the city, and I will take the opportunity to discount it today!" So the regulars went up there. ”

Everyone couldn't laugh and laugh and couldn't look at Xiao Liuzi - the shopkeeper gave him less wages, this is eating inside and out.

The fourth son dragged his grandson.

Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu.

Tianzun and Yin Hou had already stood up and were ready to shift their positions.

Zhan Zhao always felt that there would be some unwarranted disaster if he went like this, after all, he was watching cats...... asked Xiao Liuzi, "We're just leaving, shouldn't the shopkeeper scold you?" ”

Xiao Liuzi smiled and rubbed his hands, "Where can I be!" ”

As soon as Xiao Liuzi finished speaking, he saw the fifth master hand over an ingot, stood up, and hooked his finger at Zhanzhao, which means - change places to eat!

Zhanzhao was dragged up speechlessly, and when everyone went downstairs, they saw Xiao Liuzi happily running to see the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper collected the ingots and praised him for his cleverness while going to the account, and he didn't have to start the stove to earn!

Speaking of looking at the cat, Zhan Zhao was quite reluctant and walked forward with a wrinkled nose.

Yin Hou teased him, "That's all your brothers and sisters, what's wrong with you going to take a look?" ”

Zhan Zhao sighed, Zhao Zhen didn't appreciate flowers or dogs for no reason, but he just engaged in this cat appreciation conference, I always feel full of malice, pay attention!

When he arrived in the north of the city, he saw a sea of people, and Ouyang Shaozheng asked the Imperial City Army to block the crowd on both sides, and the road was vacated for carriages and horses to enter.

The north gate of the city was wide open, and the brigade was entering the city in batches. Because entering the city requires strict checks, the speed is not very fast...... Probably because each family also wanted to make a noise or something, several families put a few cats outside for the people of Kaifeng City to enjoy.

Zhanzhao pouted, "It's all in the cage!" ”

The little fourth son sat on Xigulu's shoulder, nodding while watching, "The cats are so pitiful, they are all in the cage." ”

On the side, a voice came, "It is said that the emperor wants to build a cat park in the harem, and these cats will eventually live in the imperial palace and eat the imperial food, which is not pitiful at all." ”

When they followed the sound, they saw a man standing beside them with a smile on his face.

Zhan Zhao and the others were slightly stunned - Man Muhua.

Manji Shao's owner also came to see the cat?

Man Muhua picked up a few cartons from a shop behind him and placed them on the table outside, and distributed them to Zhanzhao and the others, "Remember to come and patronize." ”

The crowd was a little puzzled as they held the box.

Yin Hou opened it and saw two delicate round pastries inside, this time it was not dumplings or sugar, but cat-faced steamed buns.

This steamed bun is black and white, and a white cat is fat and beautiful, smiling. The other black cat is fierce and furious, fried, how to look like Zhanzhao.

Xiao Sizi opened his mouth wide, "It's like a cat!" ”

Zhanzhao felt that his knees hurt, his teeth hurt, and his head hurt.

On the side, many big girls and little daughters-in-law are buying, and they are talking about it while buying, saying that this cat steamed bun is so cute, it looks like Zhanzhao is reluctant to eat it and take it home to offer.

The fourth son said to Man Muhua, "Why are you always like this, you have to share the money with the cat." ”

Man Muhua looked dazed and asked, "Which cat?" Little Sizi, that's what you said, animals are different from people, I do it according to the kitten, and you also let me share the money with the cat? ”

The little fourth son looked at Man Muhua.

Everyone was a little speechless, this Man Muhua is quite serious, he suffered a loss from the fourth son before, and this time he is thinking about winning back a game.

The little fourth son was very dissatisfied with his arms and cheeks, knowing that he was doing bad.

Zhanzhao wanted to help the little fourth son, but he didn't want to share the money with Man Muhua, and Man Muhua was obviously competing with the little fourth son.

However, Gongsun and Zhao Pu stopped him, which meant that the little fourth son would solve it by himself.

The fourth son and Man Muhua looked at each other.

Man Muhua's face was full of pride, and he felt that this was a win, and the shopkeeper on the side wiped his sweat, and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion should not know that their young master was naïve and competitive.

Xiao Sizi looked at the cat-faced steamed bun in his hand, and then looked at Man Muhua, seemingly a little hesitant.

Xigulu didn't know what was going on at all, and after looking at the cat for a while, he felt hungry and wanted to eat, and when he saw that the little fourth son wanted to say something but couldn't say it, he asked, "Little persimmon paper, what are you doing?" ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Sizi hesitated, "I thought of a way but it was too ruthless, not very good...... Be kind. ”

Gongsun and Zhao Pu glanced at each other.

Mu Hua smiled on the side, "Little fourth son, you're welcome, ahaha, you can raise any opinions, after all, I also have a share of your share of the business I remember." ”

Gongsun is also angry, this Man Muhua is more serious than a child, be careful!

Xiao Sizi glanced at Man Muhua, and finally seemed to be ruthless, reached out and took out a black cat steamed bun and handed it to Bai Yutang.

Everyone was stunned.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to take the steamed bun, and was puzzled, when he heard the little fourth son say, "Baibai, anyone can gnaw the cat's face in the future......"

"Poof......

Tianzun, who had just eaten half of the steamed bun, squirted out half of the steamed bun in his mouth that he hadn't had time to chew, and Zhao Pu, who was about to bite it, silently put the steamed bun back.

Gongsun rubbed the ass of the little fourth son - oops, how did you come up with this trick, there is no injustice and no revenge.

The little fourth son hugged his arms and reflected on himself - it was really too ruthless, and he felt guilty after speaking.

Look again......

I saw the fifth master holding the steamed bun, and after being expressionless for a while, he turned his face and looked at Mu Hua gloomily.

Man Muhua opened his mouth wide.

Looking at Bai Yutang and looking at Xiao Sizi are naturally different feelings.

The shopkeeper hurriedly came up to relieve the siege and said, "My young master made these boxes to play, and our shop doesn't sell steamed buns, so we won't do it in the future." ”

Bai Yutang thought about it and still didn't feel very comfortable, so he took out the silver and bought the rest of the cat steamed buns.

Zhan Zhao looked speechlessly and asked people to send all the steamed buns to the Baiyutang in Baifu - rats, are you idle?

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhanzhao - cat, you eat less at lunch, and let's eat steamed buns when we go home.

Zhan Zhao looks to the sky.

Man Muhua grinded his teeth and looked at the little fourth son - you are ruthless, you little ball!

The little fourth son twisted his face - hum!

Gongsun and Zhao Pu glanced at each other - the group was quite imposing.

Man Muhua, who was still defeated in the second encounter, decided to regroup and think of other moves.

Zhan Zhao didn't have the heart to tease him, so he happened to meet here, the military department had just been killed, and there were paintings of his house on the wall.

Zhan Zhao asked Man Muhua, "Young owner, have you been here just now?" ”

"Hmm!" Man Muhua nodded, he also had serious business, he didn't come to compete with the little fourth son, so he told everyone, "There are a lot of foreigners who have come to the city today, let's send some tastings, and if they like it, they will come and buy it." ”

"Oh......" Zhan Zhao nodded, and asked again, "Has the hanging painting in your main shop been there all this time?" Haven't lent it to anyone, have you? ”

Man Muhua was slightly stunned, a little puzzled, "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that something happened? ”

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu.

Both nodded, feeling that they could speak directly.

Zhan Zhao pointed to a restaurant in front of him, what does that mean - find a place with few people, sit down and talk?

Man Muhua felt that something might have happened, so he nodded, entered the restaurant with everyone, and asked for a private room to sit down.

After chatting for a few words, Man Muhua was surprised, "Bingbu Langzhong was killed, and there was a blood picture on the wall that I remembered?!" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Man Muhua clutched his chest, "My mother, Lord Zhan, don't scare me, I'm a first-class honest citizen!" ”

Everyone squinted at him - you still have the face to say you're honest?

The little fourth son took a string of balls and aimed at him.

Man Muhua waved his hand, which means let's not joke, "Can I see that mold?" ”

Zhan Zhao took out the skin.

At this time, the blood on the skin had already dried up, and after it was spread out on the table, Man Muhua frowned, "It's really exactly the same as the heirloom in my store!" ”

"Are you sure it's exactly the same?" Gongsun asked.

Man Muhua nodded, "I've been staring at it since I was a child, this is definitely a copy of the hanging painting in my house!" ”

"Someone has come into your manji to flip the painting?" Bai Yutang asked, "Even the size is about the same." ”

"Impossible! I remember that people are watching people during the day, and the doors are locked at night...... Could it be that someone slipped in at night? Man Muhua said, saying to everyone, "This is obviously a false accusation!" ”

Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Whether it is a false accusation or not is another matter, why do you think the murderer left this painting of Fishtail on the wall?" ”

Man Muhua scratched his head, "Then who knows...... Evil door! ”

"Are there any enemies?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Uh......" Man Muhua was slightly stunned, a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, but then he shook his head.

Zhan Zhao's eyes were sharp, so he naturally saw it, so he said, "Do you know that you are suspicious, and you can close the store for investigation." ”

Man Muhua naturally knew the strictness of things.

"You're still going to have something to say." Zhao Pu reminded.

Man Muhua nodded lightly and looked at the little fourth son.

The fourth son and Xigulu were having dinner, they didn't care much about the case, and when they saw Man Muhua looking over, the little fourth son was puzzled.

"Didn't Xiao Sizi ask me to send some of the money to the victims of Xu Ji's case that day?" Manmuhua Road.

Everyone nodded.

Gongsun glanced at the little fourth son, he didn't know that there was such a thing, the little guy was getting more and more right.

Man Muhua frowned and said, "I let my subordinates do it, most of the people feel good when they get the money, some of them have already moved away, but there is a family...... But it's very strange. ”

"Strange?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Man Muhua asked everyone to eat first, and he asked his men to go down to Man Ji to call someone to come.

After a while, a young man ran in, "Young owner." ”

When they looked up, they saw that the young man had gauze wrapped around his head, and it seemed that he was wounded.

Man Muhua asked him to tell him about the money that day.

The young man sighed, it turned out that he was responsible for sending money to the three families, the front two were quite normal, and the third lived an old man, seventy or eighty years old, and when he first knocked on the door, he opened the door very politely. But as soon as he said that he was full of memories and came to give money, the old man suddenly became angry, chased after him with a cane, and said, "It's not that the time has not come for retribution, wait for retribution!" ”

Everyone frowned...... That's right.

"That old man's daughter, wife and grandson all died in the Xu Ji case, leaving him alone." Manmuhua Road.

"Maybe it's anger." Zhao Pudao, "It's understandable, after all, there was nothing left overnight." ”

"But it's not that simple!" Man Muhua asked the young man to continue.

"I was beaten by him and ran straight away, and I heard him shouting from behind, saying, 'The Reaper has come to the door!'" The day has come when you will be full of children and grandchildren! Wait to be buried in the belly of the fish and never be overborn! ’。 ”

Everyone was stunned.

"You say this old man is weird!" "The first time I heard a curse say that when a man died, he said that he would die in the belly of a fish, did they think that we were going to be flooded or something?" ”

Everyone is very concerned about the phrase "bury yourself in the belly of the fish"...... This is a curse of Uomito!

Man Muhua was helpless, "At first, I thought it was the old man talking nonsense, but he cursed me Manji instead of Xu Ji!" I'm also restless about this all day today, and I always feel that something is wrong...... Sure enough, something happened. ”

"What have you done to make people curse your family for cutting off your children and grandchildren?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Man Muhua looked at the sky and shook his head, "Heaven and earth conscience, no! ”

"What about your ancestors?" Bai Yutang asked.

Man Muhua looked worried, "I'm also afraid of this." ”

And all the people looked at him.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Pu asked.

Man Muhua spread his hands, "Isn't this normal, you don't all know what your ancestors have done, have you ever had the experience of suddenly someone coming to the door to seek revenge, and then you don't know the enemy family at all and don't offend the enemy family?" ”

After Man Muhua asked, everyone was silent for a while, and then turned their faces to look at Bai Yutang together.

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun with a teacup, and Tianzun looked out the window...... Oops, that white cat looks like a little mouse so cute!

……

"Have you had this experience recently?" Zhan Zhao listened to Man Muhua's words, and it seemed that there was still a hidden secret.

Man Muhua hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "There is something...... In fact, I also want to go to Kaifeng Mansion, but I am afraid that things will make a big deal and affect the business of my store. ”

"What's wrong?" Gongsun asked.

"Not long ago, I found that someone had been given a laxative in a batch of bean paste filling for sugar cakes in the store." Manmuhua Road.

The crowd was amazed.

"Is there such a thing?" Gongsun frowned, "Sugar cakes are mostly eaten by children and the elderly, and the stomachs of children and the elderly are particularly fragile. ”

Man Muhua nodded, "Since the accident back then, my family has a set of methods for testing drugs, and every process has to be tested for drugs, and before going out, it will go through several inspections before going out before there is no accident." ”

"Is it true that someone poisoned your house?" Gongsun asked.

Man Muhua nodded, "Fortunately, I found out, I am very careful when I buy things outside." ”

Zhan Zhao and others can't help but think of the Xu Ji case many years ago.

"Is the case really conclusive?" Bai Yutang asked suddenly.

Zhan Zhao also frowned, "What if it wasn't Xu Ji who drugged Man Ji into the food back then?" ”

"Wow......" Zhao Pu shook his head with a soup spoon, "Isn't Xu Ji a strange injustice through the ages?" ”

Man Muhua said, "You don't suspect that it was my medicine that Man memorized, right?" Impossible! Who would take such a risk with their own signboard, besides, my family didn't take any advantage, and it wasn't too far from the destruction of my family back then! ”

"Actually......"

As they were discussing, everyone heard Yin Hou suddenly speak, so they turned their faces to look at him together.

Yin Hou and Tianzun have always rarely expressed their opinions on the cases they investigated, and Tianzun occasionally gags a few words, and Yin Hou basically doesn't care unless Zhanzhao needs help.

But this time it was Yin Hou who spoke.

Tianzun, who was eating seriously, gnawed on half a chicken leg and looked at him.

Yin Hou looked at everyone and said, "Have you investigated those who were poisoned to death?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Poison & Death ......"

After being reminded, everyone suddenly understood.

"Oh." Tianzun nodded, "The old ghost is right, use the cases of Xu Ji and Man Ji to cover up the people who really want to kill!" ”

"After Xu Ji was beheaded, the case was understood, and all the deceased were classified as unfortunate deaths...... No one will investigate carefully, if it weren't for Xu Ji's poison, the real murderer would still be at large. Zhan Zhao said.

Gongsun also frowned, "But recently, there have been waves again, a fishtail pillow, bringing up the old case again." ”

"If there was really a real murderer ......back then," Bai Yutang said, "what would he do if he wanted to get away with it?" ”

Everyone looked at Mu Hua.

Man Muhua is not stupid, his face is calm, "Do you blame me for Manji?" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, "That painting from your family's ancestor...... It seems to be a key! ”
