Chapter 53: The Cat and the Mouse

Early the next morning, Zhang Bao'er came to Zhikeliao again, and he was very curious to know what happened last night in Ci'en Temple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he only knows Purun and Yuan Jue, so he has to ask them.

Zhang Baoer didn't see Yuan Jue, she only saw Purun busy.

He pulled Pu Run aside and asked quietly, "Master Pu Run, what happened in the temple last night?" ”

"The Lord of the Dharma suddenly ascended to heaven last night!" Purun said with a heavy face.

Zhang Bao'er wanted to continue to ask, but listened to Purun said: "Master Zhang, the poor monk still has something to do, so I won't accompany you!" ”

With that, Purun left in a hurry.

"It turned out that the presiding officer of the Temple of Mercy and Grace suddenly died!" Zhang Baoer muttered to herself: "Even the Yamen's arrest is coming, it seems that it is not simple!" ”

Yesterday, Zhang Baoer went to Dongshi. Today, he plans to go to the West Market again.

Although Chang'an City is very large, the square is square, the roads are wide, and it is not difficult to find any place. Besides, the West Market is such a famous place, and everyone in Chang'an knows it, and Zhang Baoer easily inquired about the location of the West Market.

Walk along Zhuque Street to the north, go to Tonghuafang and turn west, and go to Chang'an West City after Tonghua, Tongyi and Guangde.

Zhang Baoer turned into the street of Tonghuafang, and there were people coming and going, and he enjoyed the surrounding street scenery while walking.

Suddenly, Zhang Baoer saw a person hurrying over.

Such a coincidence, it turned out to be him, Zhang Baoer muttered in her heart.

This person is the young catcher who followed Yuanjue on rounds last night, and at this moment he is not wearing a catcher suit, but is wearing civilian clothes.

Zhang Baoer's heart moved, and she felt that she should say hello to the young catcher, and the set was almost close, after all, she was not familiar with life in Chang'an, and she would have to take care of her after she had acquaintances.

Just thinking about it, Zhu Kuai had already passed by Zhang Baoer, and it seemed that he was going to do something urgent.

Zhang Bao'er turned her head, looked at the back of the catcher in a hurry, and shook her head, I'm afraid it's not a good opportunity now, it seems that I can only wait for next time.

Caught in a hurry, and collided head-on with a thin teenager.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "The boy is trying to catch a quick loss, no.

Catch Kuai didn't care, just nodded and continued to walk forward.

A smile appeared on the young man's face, and Shi Shiran walked in the opposite direction to catch the fast.

After a few steps, the smile on the boy's face froze, and he saw a man standing in front of him, smiling at him.

"You, what are you going to do?" The young man looked at Zhang Bao'er like a ghost.

"This brother, you can't take that man's money......"

Before Zhang Bao'er finished speaking, the young man became anxious: "Who are you, why do you always meddle with my affairs?" Forget it yesterday, and today you're in the way......"

"He's a fast catcher!" Zhang Baoer shut up the boy with a word.

"You just deliberately bumped into him, and he can already see your face clearly. If he comes to his senses and wants to look for your bad luck, will you have a good life in the future? Zhang Bao'er said meaningfully: "We all came out to mix, and some people can't be provoked!" ”

The relationship between the thief is like the relationship between a cat and a mouse, if the rat provokes the cat, the result will be miserable.

Sure enough, the young man listened to Zhang Bao'er's words, and his face instantly changed color.

However, he was still a little unconvinced, and asked hesitantly, "How do you know?" ”

"Yesterday he was wearing a fast suit for business, and I happened to see him!" Zhang Baoer looked like she was thinking about the young man: "If it weren't for the fact that I had a relationship with you yesterday and thought that you were not a good person, I wouldn't be too lazy to care about this idle matter!" ”

Now the young man was completely convinced, and he said expectantly: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Bao'er stretched out her hand: "Don't bother the two masters, or give me the things, and I'll help you solve it!" ”

The young man looked bitter and handed the silver bag to Zhang Bao'er.

Zhang Bao'er caught up with the catcher in three steps and two steps, and stopped him: "This poor master, your silver bag is lost!" ”

He frowned and stared at Zhang Bao'er: "You and the person who hit me just now are in the same group, right?" ”

Zhang Baoer smiled: "How can it? If it's a gang, can I still pay you back? ”

"I don't dare!" Catch quickly took the silver bag and asked casually, "How do you know that I am from the Yamen?" ”

"I came to Chang'an from other places, and I lived in the incense room of Ci'en Temple, and when you checked the incense room last night, I happened to see it!" Zhang Baoer explained.

"You're from outside!" Catch fast nodded, patted Zhang Bao'er on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "My name is Ji Wen, and I am the catcher of Wannian County!" If you have any trouble in Chang'an, you can come to me! ”

"Thank you Ji Catch! My name is Zhang Bao'er, and I may really want to trouble Ji Zhu Kuai in the future! Zhang Baoer didn't expect to get in touch with Jiwen so easily, and she was very happy.

"Okay, I still have something to do, let's go first!"

With that, Gwen was gone.

When Zhang Baoer looked back again, the young man was gone.

The West Market is completely different from the East Market.

The East Market is close to Taiji Palace, Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace, and the surrounding squares are mostly the residences of royal nobles and dignitaries, and the commodities in the market are also mostly high-grade luxury goods, so as to meet the needs of the royal family and dignitaries.

The West Market is different, the West Market is mostly surrounded by ordinary people's houses, and the goods in the market are mostly clothing, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities. In addition, there are many shops opened by the Hu people in the West Market, such as Persian mansions, jewelry stores, warehouses, wine stores, etc. Merchants from Persia, Daesho, Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla sold the spices and medicines they brought with them in the seo market, and then bought back jewelry, silk fabrics, and porcelain to sell. Therefore, the west market is more prosperous than the east market, and it is also called the "gold market".

Zhang Baoer wandered around the West Market for more than two hours before she left.

Coming out of the West Market, Zhang Baoer came to Tiantong Gambling House without thinking about it.

All the silver won yesterday was given to Yuan Jue, Zhang Bao'er was still relatively short of money, and he wanted to win some more silver to go back in case of emergency.

"Shopkeeper! The boy you spoke of yesterday is here again! The dealer came to the shopkeeper's house and whispered to him.

"Is he still outside?" Shopkeeper Hu asked.

The dealer nodded.

"Got it! Go ahead, don't alarm him! Shopkeeper Hu commanded.

After the dealer left, the shopkeeper Hu straightened his clothes and went out of the house.

Outside the shopkeeper Hu is the hall of the gambling house, although it is only half of the afternoon, it is already full of people and noisy.

Sure enough, Shopkeeper Hu saw Zhang Baoer as soon as he went out. He quietly stood beside Zhang Bao'er and peeked at Zhang Bao'er.

Zhang Baoer didn't go straight to the table like other gamblers and started to gamble, he just stood in front of a table with his hands in front of him and watched.
