Walking on the cold street with his hands in his hands, this body is really uncomfortable with cold, if Grandpa Tian can give himself a coat of fur... Sigh or forget it, you don't have to think about it to know that you will definitely be strangled to death on the spot by Wen Po as a monster, which is really a loss.

Listening to the whimpering and howling of the wind, the dog immediately decided to go home, kicked the pebble and just entered the fence gate and was dragged over by Zhao Zhutou, who "occupied the pigeon's nest".

"Puppy, but there's news?"

A pair of big hands were like eagle claws, and he didn't break free even after trying several times, so he had to stare at him and shake his head and said, "Brother Zhao doesn't need to be so anxious, you sit down and wait patiently, the kid has to wait for them to come back to know what is going on today!" ”

Zhao Zhutou sneered and said: "I'm tired of my little brother, brother, I'm really anxious and uncomfortable, seeing that the sun is about to set again, if there is no news today, my brother's ass really can't be saved!" ”

The dog pouted and said in his heart, it's not my fault that you get beaten on the buttocks, so I'm not in a hurry. "Brother Zhao, don't worry, the little brother will never watch your ass suffer and ignore it, by the way, did you bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I asked you to bring?"

Zhao Zhutou hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, my brother has already brought it to you!" ”

The dog nodded and said, "It's too cold here, let's go and talk in the house." ”

After entering the house, he first ran to the brazier to come back to his senses, and then he rubbed his hands and came to the square table when his chest and back were warm, and he just picked up the brush, thought about it and put it down, looked at Zhao Zhutou next to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, are you familiar with this Youchuan City?" ”

Zhao Zhutou was puzzled and said: "Familiar, I grew up here, I am familiar and transparent, I know how to walk with my eyes closed!" ”

The dog clapped his hands and said, "It's just right, Brother Zhao will come in exchange for you!" ”

Zhao Zhutou hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, this is not good, if you say that let my brother play a few knives, I am sure to give you a seventy-two style, and you will not breathe in a breath, but this work of lifting a pen and writing is really not good, as long as you pick up the pen and my legs will tremble!" ”

The dog was stunned and said, "Brother, don't you know how to read?" ”

Zhao Zhutou said with a straight face: "I recognize the word, but I haven't said that I can write!" ”

Dogs: ......

"Okay, okay, the word boy will go back and write it again, but you can draw the picture, right?"

Zhao Zhutou was puzzled: "What do you want to draw?" Brother, it's okay for me to scribble, but if it's more detailed, let's find a painter! ”

The dog shook his head and said, "No, you can just paint this Yuchuan Xichengfang, especially the streets and alleys, the old houses that no one has abandoned, and these places where people can hide people!" ”

Zhao Zhutou said with a look of surprise: "Little dog, do you mean that these people are hiding in Xichengfang?" ”

After speaking, he was puzzled: "But when we went to Xichengfang to search for people a few days ago, we didn't find any trace of them!" ”

The dog cupped his forehead and said: "People, I don't dare to guarantee that the boy is not in Xichengfang, but Youchuan City is making trouble about this these days." ”

"In the past two days, the number of searches in the whole city in the yamen has been increasing day by day, and the streets are also running around the errand soldiers, the robbery a few days ago has made the neighbors feel a little uneasy, and the people are even more panicked in the past two days, and there are many rumors that the group of robbers is the spies of the golden soldiers who are fighting the front station, and they are about to attract the gold thieves to attack the city."

"There are other rumors that these people are good men in the green forest, specializing in robbing and killing rich and rich merchants, and even the old men in Dongcheng can't sit still at this moment, if what the kid said is right, this is the reason why Brother Zhao was persecuted by Shangguan, right?"

Zhao Zhutou sighed after listening to the dog's words, put the brush in his hand on a table, turned his head to the dog and said with a bitter face: "I'm not afraid of brothers' jokes, if there is no solution to this case, my brother's 'head catcher' will be the end, you are right, this group of people went to the Yamen Prison in the middle of the night to rob people, and they wanted to rob anyone, my brother checked the case file and re-interrogated the prisoners in the last few cases, and the big punishment was all on the way, and I didn't ask who had some helpers outside."

"The officials are urging tightly, the brothers in the yamen have had to work hard in the past two days, and they have caught a lot of people who steal chickens and dogs, but this gang of thieves has no shadow at all, as if the world has evaporated, dogs, whether the old brother can pass this hurdle is all counting on you, you are so clever that you have to help your brother come up with a few clever tricks!"

The dog rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Zhao, you have been eating and living at the boy's house for the past two days, if I have any tricks, can I still hide and choke?" ”

Zhao Zhutou sneered: "No, no, brother, I'm just in a hurry, little brother is more considerate and considerate, and when the case is clear, my brother will set up a banquet to entertain a few of you!" ”

The dog waved his hand and said: "Just set up a banquet, it costs money and trouble, if this case is really solved, I just hope that my brother can take care of our brothers more in this Youchuan City!" ”

Zhao Zhutou hurriedly raised his hand to heaven and said: "Don't worry, dog, if this case is solved, brother, I will treat you as if you were brothers!" ”

The dog nodded and motioned for him to sit on the stool and continue to draw, got up, took an empty bowl and pinched some tea leaves into it, and then washed it with hot water, and a fragrant smell spread in the air, and the dizzy head was much more sober for a while.

Turned over and sat on the bench and said to Zhao Zhutou: "Brother Zhao thought about it, and I feel that we should treat this matter as two problems!" ”

Zhao Zhutou asked, "Those two?" ”

"According to the severity of the matter, it can be divided into two things, one is how to solve the panic of the people in the city, especially the old men outside the Dongcheng City, they keep asking the yamen, and the officials are anxious, of course, the brothers below can't relax!"

Zhao Zhutou replied: "This matter is easy to do, and when the time comes, just ask County Lieutenant Liu to issue a notice to calm the people." ”

The dog said: "Just a notice to reassure the people, the people's faces are stable, but their hearts will not be calm. ”

Zhao Zhutou said: "What should I do?" ”

"The kid has an idea to listen to with his brother, if it doesn't work, then give it up, if it works, my brother might as well give it a try!"

Zhao Zhutou nodded and motioned for the dog to speak.

The dog took a sip of tea and straightened out his thoughts unhurriedly: "Since you want to post a notice, you might as well directly tell the people that the robbers have been arrested, and then transfer the messengers who searched all over the city back." ”

When he looked up and saw that he was about to ask questions, the dog quickly explained: "In this way, the people will not be able to see the public people on the street, and they will not panic." ”

Zhao Zhutou frowned and said, "After the government service is removed, what should the robbers do?" Is it really just not looking for it? What if they take the opportunity to run away? ”

The dog shook his head and said, "Of course we have to look for it, but let's change it to 'smart search'!" ”

"'Smart Find'? How so? ”

The dog said with a smile: "When the time comes, write a sentence on the notice, saying that in order to comfort the people of the city, the yamen specially invited a stage show for everyone to see, and when the time comes, the people of all walks of life will line up to watch it!" ”

Zhao Zhutou said with a puzzled face: "Watching a play? Puppy, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd? Hurry up and tell my brother about it! ”

The dog nodded, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and said: "This trick is called 'causing the snake to come out of the hole' You think that the leader of this group of people must be a smart person, first saw the notice to catch the bandits, and then heard the news that all the houses and households were going to watch the play in groups, this heart will definitely think that the yamen is engaged in a conspiracy, he will only hide deeper, and will never dare to take the opportunity to run out of the city!" ”

"The kid paid attention to the observation a few days ago, the people from this countryside are mainly divided into two categories, one is business, most of them live near the Dongcheng market, usually do some goods and sell goods, if we set up a big stage, the people of the city will come to see, such a lively scene If it is a foreigner who comes to do business with peace of mind, he will definitely not let go of this rare opportunity, as for those outsiders who don't come to see it, there is a reason, you can catch it and ask!"

Zhao Zhutou is an old catcher who has handled many cases, and he instantly understood what the dog meant, and immediately squinted his eyes and added a few words.

"That's right, Brother Zhao, that's exactly what the kid means, those who come to visit relatives and friends will definitely follow the master's family out to watch the big play, and those who haven't gone can come to the door to check and inquire."

Zhao Zhutou nodded and said, "By the way, where do you say that there are more foreigners in this city?" ”

The dog pointed to the map of Xichengfang he had just drawn and said, "This is it." ”

"In the past two days, we have noticed that except for the group of people who came to do business in Dongcheng, most of the other outsiders who came live in Xicheng!"

Zhao Zhutou slapped the table and said: "Okay, instead of casting a net all over the city, it is better to concentrate a little, and after a while, my brother will go to the yamen to find Liu Sanlang and say, let him find Liu County Lieutenant and ask for an order!" ”

The dog hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, Brother Zhao, the kid still has some little attention." ”

Zhao Zhutou nodded and gestured to the dog.

"Brother Zhao thinks that this group of people will hide more closely after hearing the news, this leader is a smart person, all smart people have a suspicious problem, he will definitely send spies all over the city to find out the news, so the kid suggested that more secret agents should be arranged to guard the intersections, and in order to prevent them from really taking advantage of the chaos to go out of the city, this city gate should also strengthen precautions."

Zhao Zhutou bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, my brother will pay attention to these things, and when I go to the yamen, I will sum up with Liu Sanlang, and I will not let this net have loopholes!" ”

The dog nodded, stood up, picked up the brush on the table, clicked a few places on the street map of Xichengfang drawn by Zhao Zhutou, dragged a blank piece of paper, wrote a full article, blew lightly and waited for the ink to dry before handing it to Zhao Zhutou and said:

"Brother Zhao, these are the places where a few of their boys have found out these days, considering that the robbers have powerful guys in their hands, so they didn't go in to check, my brother can send someone to search carefully, this other piece of paper is written on some of the attention that the kid wants, my brother can take it, and there are also some references when I tell the county lieutenant Liu, if you want to let the hiding rat rest assured to get out of the hole, you have to let it feel safe around!"

Zhao Zhutou listened to the dog's words, quickly stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it carefully from beginning to end, a rough face instantly smiled, and blew hard twice on the handwriting, then gently folded together and stuffed it into his arms, and listened to the news with both hands in his fist, and strode towards the yamen.

Looking at the back of his departure, the dog breathed a long sigh of relief, this guy didn't know which tendon was wrong, for three days in a row, he came to find himself every day, he was a big catcher who actually chased after his little beggar to pay attention, he was really sick and panicked, fortunately, the big head on our neck was smart enough, I didn't let myself down, and came up with such a smart way, whether it was successful or not, I got rid of him anyway, and I didn't plan to ask for the silver or something, if it wasn't for Liu Ye to give up his face last time, Counting on the gang of money-grubbers in the yamen to send it to themselves, hehe, they don't even have a hair!

The idea is out, whether it can be done depends on whether the official in the yamen is allowed or not, looking at Liu Sanlang's temperament, it is estimated that Liu County Lieutenant is also a resolute master, he has grasped the best of his attention, and if he can't catch it, he will help him appease and appease the people.

Sure enough, just after dinner, I listened to the fanglao and fangding in Nanchengfang, vigorously banging on the gong to distribute the news door-to-door.
