Chapter Twenty-One: The Female Head Catcher
Zhu Qing suddenly became alert again, he sat up suddenly, and walked softly to the window, wanting to see who it was. Because today Liu Qingfeng gave him two big ingots in front of everyone, which were very eye-catching, coupled with the strange eyes and smile of the innkeeper he met just now, Zhu Qing had to be more attentive, because in this capital, even the Ming Dynasty, he was a newcomer.
But when Zhu Qing gently opened the window, he didn't see any suspicious people, he looked up, and suddenly there was a "meow", and a cat quickly ran from the roof.
Hey, it turned out to be a cat, I thought it was a thief. Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, shook his head and smiled, closed the window, and returned to bed to continue sleeping. This night, Zhu Qing slept until dawn.
"Guest." Suddenly, Zhu Qing heard someone knocking on the door, and he woke up, but when he opened his eyes, he was a little relieved to see that the sky was already bright.
Zhu Qing tidied up a little, came to the door and asked, "Who?" What's up? ”
"I'm the shopkeeper, guest officer, I've prepared your face wash for you, will I send it in when you open the door or will you come out and get it yourself later?" It turned out that the shopkeeper was sending water, Zhu Qing thought to himself, the service of this store is really thoughtful, it doesn't look like a black store, it looks like a high-end club, Zhu Qing opened the latch, "Come in." ”
The shopkeeper walked into Zhu Qing's room with water with a smile and put it away, and suddenly asked when he was leaving, "Did the guest officer sleep well last night?" ”
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Zhu Qing felt that the shopkeeper was a little troublesome, so he asked rhetorically.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, it's just that there were thieves nearby last night, and it is said that the finch cat chased it all night, and we are worried about disturbing the guest officer." Dian Xiaoer explained.
"Who's the Finch Cat?" Zhu Qing asked suspiciously.
"The female head catcher in the capital." The shopkeeper said, smiled, and walked out the door.
Zhu Qing wanted to ask something more, but he didn't call the second child in the store, so he had to wash up, and hurriedly went downstairs to find something to eat, so he went to find the killing wind and asked about Xiaobao's situation, he was really a little unwilling to have information about Xiaobao, that is, the word "dead".
Zhu Qing came downstairs, called the shopkeeper, asked for a few steamed buns, a plate of cold dishes, a pot of hot tea, and found a corner to sit down.
"Guest officer, you use it slowly." The shopkeeper said with a smile when he served the food, Zhu Qing originally wanted to ask the shopkeeper to ask about the female headcatcher, but the shopkeeper was called away again, although it was early in the morning, but the inn was already busy, people came and went, eating and drinking, it seems that this capital is still a peaceful place.
Zhu Qing sat in the corner and listened to the discussion of the diners.
"Hey, it is said that there was a thief last night, and everyone in the street heard it."
"Hey, what are you afraid of, there are no finches and cats. The first female head catcher in our capital, with her, rest assured! ”
"That's it, hey, but then again, the war inside and outside this pass is enough to drink a pot, and now you have to beware of this gentleman on the beam, ouch, it's really a troubled world."
……
"Isn't it, while there are still a few days of stable life, everyone should eat and drink." At this time, the innkeeper came over with a pot of tea to talk to the diners.
"Boss, you're making a fortune, hahaha."
"Where, he has to eat and sleep in this troubled world, doesn't he? It's not easy for everyone. The boss said with a smile.
"That's, by the way, I heard that the thief was found at your inn last night?"
"Oh, this morning the female catcher called the little one to ask, said that he chased the thief last night, and suddenly disappeared, and then heard the sound of the door and window opening and closing of our inn, it is estimated that the thief was a thief, and he was in a mess, and he fell down, and was caught by the finch cat. But the finch cat suspects that there is a master in our inn. The innkeeper said.
"Ouch, then your inn is a great achievement. Did the master find it? ”
"Nope." The innkeeper said, shaking his head and glancing at the corner of Zhu Qing's side.
Although Zhu Qing felt that the boss seemed to be talking about himself, he was not a master, and if it was really that reason, it was just a coincidence. He smiled, took a sip of his tea, and got up and walked over to the counter. The boss had already returned to the counter.
When Zhu Qing walked through the hall, the group of diners who were talking just now all looked at him curiously. They were curious because the set of clothes on Zhu Qing's body, although it was not the formal wear of Jinyiwei, but it also had a bit of spirit. It's hard to help but reverie.
"Boss, make a note first, I'll be back tonight." Zhu Qing said to the innkeeper.
"Okay, okay." The innkeeper looked at Zhu Qing and nodded again and again. If the suspicion of the female catcher is right, then in the eyes of the innkeeper, this so-called master should be Zhu Qing, so the innkeeper is more and more respectful.
The corners of Zhu Qing's mouth smiled imperceptibly. Preparing to turn around and go out, he was going to look for Killing Wind, but he didn't know where Killing Wind was. You can't ask others, besides, even carrier pigeons are difficult to trace the traces of the killing wind, I'm afraid it's a vain question to ask.
What to do? The capital is so big, and I am not familiar with the place, I will definitely not be able to find it if I look for it like this, go find Liu Qingfeng, I don't want to disturb him now, and Liu Qingfeng has just returned home, so I should have a good rest at this time. Thinking so, Zhu Qing suddenly turned around and asked the innkeeper, "Boss, how do you get to this yamen?" ”
Zhu Qing's question, the people in the inn all looked over, and now they didn't make a head, everyone thought that Zhu Qing was the person who was with the female head catcher, but this question seemed a bit illogical, if Zhu Qing was really a Jinyi guard, didn't even the yamen know? But since Zhu Qing asked at this time, everyone felt that he must have something to do with the case. Maybe it's the master!
"Oh, go out and turn right and keep going forward, and come to a lotus pond, there are many willow trees by the pond, and then turn right and go in." The innkeeper said respectfully.
"This yamen is really deep in a hundred flowers." Zhu Qing said with a smile.
"It's not a yamen, this is Bird Cat Villa. It's right next to the yamen, but it's more effective than the yamen, and everyone would rather go to the Bird Cat Villa if they have something. The owner explained.
"Oh, I see, it seems that this female head catcher really has some skills." Zhu Qing couldn't help but praise. "Let's go, thank you boss." Zhu Qing said, walked out of the inn, turned right and walked straight.
"Slow down!" The innkeeper gave a greeting.
After Zhu Qing left, there was a lot of discussion in the inn, saying that Zhu Qing was not like an ordinary person, but everyone didn't see anything outstanding, only one thing was certain, this product was a foreigner!
Zhu Qing walked along the downtown area. In other words, this capital is different, it has been so prosperous early in the morning, the cries of selling things on the street are continuous, and the jugglers have also been put on the stalls early The attics on both sides are already lively, and it doesn't look like a troubled world, but it looks like a prosperous world.
Thinking of the so-called ancient cities and towns that I have traveled to before, and now I am immersive, that feeling is not comparable to visiting tourist attractions. Zhu Qing unconsciously felt comfortable in his heart, and wanted to take a good look at the capital. But as soon as he started playing, he thought of Xiaobao, so he quickened his pace and hurried towards the Bird Cat Villa.
After walking for a while, Zhu Qing finally saw the lotus pond, it was summer, the lotus flowers were blooming, the pond was full of holiness, breathtaking, Zhu Qing saw the willow trees on the edge of the lotus pond, hanging along a path, full of green.
This should be the way to Quercus Cottage. Zhu Qing thought to himself and walked in.
This willow forest trail can be described as a winding path. Zhu Qing felt that the more he walked inside, the more quiet he became. Zhu Qing wondered in his heart, it seems that few people leave, why did the boss say that everyone came to Quecat Villa when they had something?
Zhu Qing walked and walked, and finally saw an archway at the end of the willow forest path, which was not big, but it looked like there was a cold majesty. Above the archway is inlaid with four big characters "Bird Cat Villa". It's finally here, Zhu Qing thought to himself.
Suddenly, Zhu Qing felt a murderous aura coming from behind him, and before he could turn around, a sharp sword was already on his neck.
"Who's here? Dare to trespass into the Bird Cat Villa. "This is a woman's voice, listening to the voice, it should be a young girl, but the tone is not as charming as a woman, but a little indifferent and solemn.
Zhu Qing was really taken aback by this sudden back attack, but he quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "I'm here to report the case." ”
"Report the crime? You should go to the Yamen. The woman said.
"I've heard people say that coming here is much more useful than the yamen." Zhu Qing said.
"Hmph, flamboyant, if you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you with one knife right now!" The woman said, pressing the sword in her hand, but Zhu Qing felt that the sword had cut into her skin.
"Senior sister, don't make trouble." At this moment, a person walked out of the Sparrow Cat Villa.
"Lord Killing Wind?!" Zhu Qing screamed in surprise. That man was Killing Wind, and although he was not wearing a brocade hat or a red cloak at this time, he was still so majestic.
Killing Feng walked up to Zhu Qing, smiled and said, "I knew you would find this, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly, it seems that I underestimated you again." ”
"Lord Killing Wind, can you ...... first" Zhu Qing said, pointing to the sword around his neck.
Killing Wind understood, smiled and said, "Finch cat, withdraw the sword." ”
"Don't! Who told him to break into my Twinkle Lodge. "It turned out that it was the first female finch catcher cat in the capital.
"Don't make a fuss, he's coming for me." Killing Wind said, I didn't expect that the Killing Wind Commander, who has always been resolute and rarely spoken, would also have difficulties.
"yes, Girl Finch, I didn't mean to." Zhu Qing said.
"Hmph, won't you pull the bell when there's a bell outside?" It seems that the Sparrow Cat Villa is sacrosanct, but the Finch Cat is still very angry and does not withdraw his sword.
"Finch cat, didn't he just arrive in the capital?" Killing Feng's rare way of speaking, it seems that he cares about the finch cat very much, even if the finch cat is disobedient to him, he can't help it.
"I said that the first female head catcher in the capital has no confidence in herself like this? Don't say I forgot to ring the bell, it's just that I broke in, can't the female catcher subdue me? Zhu Qing saw that the finch cat ate hard and not soft, so he provoked him with words. I didn't expect it to work.
"Hmph, the oil cavity is slippery. I really don't know how to get into the eye of the killing wind. The finch cat said, removing the sword and walking into the villa.
When the finch cat passed by Zhu Qing's side, Zhu Qing glanced at it, and a word came to his mind, Bingxin Yujie. This word not only describes the face of the finch cat, but also highlights her cold demeanor, which makes it difficult to get close.
"Hmph, Zhu Gongzi, please." Killing Feng watched the finch cat walk into the villa angrily, shook his head with a smile, and invited Zhu Qing into the finch cat villa. It seems that even the terrifying killing wind can't help this little girl!
Zhu Qing smiled, nodded, and walked in with the killing wind.
