Five years later.

Chang'an City.

Yongning Fang.

In the early morning, a petite teenager with a pair of big furry ears walked on the bustling streets of Chang'an City in the sunshine.

On the side of the street, the woman from the tailor's shop stood at the door of the shop, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Yuan Fang, come to patrol so early?" ”

The young man replied with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Li, how is business today?" ”

"It's not bad, this time of effort, there are already several guests coming to the door." The woman turned and walked back to the shop, and when she came out again, she handed the boy two buns and said, "Take these two buns, and the patrol will be hungry for a while." ”

The young man generously took the bun and said with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Li." ”

The woman patted his head and said, "Thank you, although you are on an errand now, you are also our little Yuanfang, and you have time to come to the house for dinner......

"Okay......"

The boy took a bite of the meat bun and greeted the neighbors while patrolling.

He beckoned to the shopkeeper of the butcher shop and said, "Uncle Zhang, remember to leave a piece of meat today, and I will make dumplings for my younger brothers and sisters in the evening." ”

The butcher shopkeeper waved his hand, looked at the young man, and said, "I know, I know, I'll chop you a good ...... later, don't say it, this dress is worn on you, it's quite like that." ”

The young man walked a few steps, looked at the woman selling flowers on the street with a smile, and said, "Sister Xiaobai, today is beautiful again......"

The woman's good-looking eyebrows bent, with a smile between her eyebrows, touched his furry ears, and said, "Just your sweet mouth, come, eat an apple ......"

……

Yuan Fang has been getting along warmly for five years, and the neighbors who have long been familiar with him greeted him, and when he first came to Chang'an, if he hadn't relied on them to help, he and his younger brothers and sisters would have starved to death.

In the past few years in Chang'an, he has mixed the streets, swept the canteen, delivered couriers, dug ditches, exchanged his labor for food, and fed his family of brothers and sisters, which was something he could never think of before.

And now, he is a secret agent of Dali Temple.

As for why he is who he is today, it is all because of the man he met a month ago.

Di Renjie, the secretary of Dali Temple, is the empress's most powerful assistant and a nightmare for countless lawbreakers in Chang'an.

Demon seeds are often talented, and there are no secrets in Chang'an City that can escape Yuan Fang's big furry ears, but there are some secrets that he can easily probe.

Because he overheard the man's secrets, he was coerced into becoming a subordinate, ostensibly a secret agent of Dali Temple, but in fact, it was his "bag inquiry", and he guarded Chang'an City with him, which happened a month ago.

Whenever she thought of this, Yuan Fang couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and hum an unknown tune.

Although it was forced, he loved the errand.

Chang'an City is his home, and he is happy to do something for Chang'an.

It's not all bad to have a pair of big ears like no other, as long as he walks down the street, his big furry ears shake slightly, and all kinds of news will reach his ears.

For example, there is a new demon dancer in Pingkangfang, and it is said that her dancing posture is as graceful as a fairy in the heavenly palace, and she is loved by countless people......

It is said that there is also a stunning dancing girl there, who is an elaborate machine, but this information has not been confirmed.

Those guys in Honglu Temple, today I made an appointment to eat shabu again, I really want to be with them, but unfortunately Dali Temple and Honglu Temple have not dealt with them very much, and with them, they will be considered traitors by Dali Temple.

Yuan Fang walked down the street in a hurry, watching the six roads and listening to all directions, and all kinds of news continued to reach his ears.

Suddenly, he stopped.

It's not good, the unsympathetic guy in Honglu Temple is about to patrol here, no stalls are allowed on the streets here, he will definitely confiscate the car of the old man who sells baked cakes, the old man relies on this baked cake stall to support his family, without this business, their family will starve to death, he must not watch such a thing happen.

Yuan Fang took three steps and made two steps, ran to the old man's baked cake stall, helped him hide the cart to the corner of the alley, and said to the old man: "Old man, don't set up a stall here in the future, otherwise the car will be confiscated by the detectives of Honglu Temple, next time remember to go to the street in front, that street is not cared for......"

The old man bowed to him and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "No thanks, if something happens to your stall, I won't be able to eat such delicious baked cakes in the future......"

Although it is not right to set up a stall here, the old man relies on this stall to support his family's grandchildren, without it, their family will lose their source of income, and he can't watch such a thing happen.

On the first day that Yuan Fang came to Chang'an with his younger brothers and sisters, it was this old man who saved them from starvation with two baked cakes.

Yuan Fang walked out of the alley casually, and the detective from Honglu Temple had already walked over, looked around, and asked Yuan Fang: "I heard that someone is occupying the road here and setting up a stall, have you seen it?" ”

Yuan Fang looked at him, blinked his innocent big eyes, shook his head and said, "I didn't see it, you go to the front and have a look......"

Watching the agents of Honglu Temple leave, Yuan Fang covered his mouth and smiled, and continued to patrol forward, when suddenly, his big furry ears moved, and he ran quickly towards a street.

"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

An agile figure walked through the streets of Yongning Fang, he held a bun in his hand, and he didn't know how many pedestrians he bumped into along the way, and finally got rid of Xiao Er, who was chasing after him, and after passing through a few streets and alleys, he looked around to make sure that no one was chasing him, and came to a bridge hole.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, another figure jumped directly from the bridge.

It was a small young man, with a pair of big furry ears, and he was wearing the uniform of a secret agent of Dali Temple.

The young man under the bridge cave was startled, retreated in a panic, ran quickly to the depths of the bridge cave, stuffed the bun in his hand into the mouth of another young child who looked younger than him, and hurriedly urged: "Eat quickly!" ”

Seeing his younger brother gobbling up the buns, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to Yuan Fang, and said, "I stole the thing, it has nothing to do with him, just catch me if you want to." ”

The young boy struggled to get up, stretched out his immature arms, blocked in front of the young man, and said loudly: "I eat the buns, if you want to catch me, don't catch my brother......"

The young man protected the young child behind him, looked up and said, "I do things by myself, it's none of his business." ”

Both brothers have pointed ears and fluffy tails, and are half-bloods like him.

Yuan Fang looked at the pair of brothers, and her face showed a look of memory.

Before, in that remote town, in that cold winter, he and Li Liang didn't find anything to eat for three whole days, Li Liang stole a bun from the bun shop on the street, and when he was caught, he also protected him like this.

Five years ago, Li Liang said goodbye to him and came to Chang'an.

Five years later, he also came to Chang'an and searched all the markets, but did not find Li Liang.

Thinking of the agreement between the two five years ago, Yuan Fang had a lost expression on his face.

He took out a few copper plates from his arms, handed them to the demon seed boy, and said, "Take it." ”

The young man asked tentatively, "You, you don't arrest me?" ”

Yuan Fang shook his head and said, "Come with me." ”

When he first came to Chang'an, why wasn't he like this?

At that time, he also lived under the bridge cave, drinking river water when he was thirsty, and when he was hungry, he went to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves that others didn't want to eat, if it weren't for the help of those neighbors, he might have starved to death.

At the steamed bun shop on the street, at the signal of Yuan Fang, the demon seed boy put a copper plate on the table and whispered: "Bao, steamed bun money." ”

The guy at the bun shop glanced at him and said, "For the sake of Xiao Yuanfang's face, I won't report to the official to arrest you." ”

Yuan Fang looked at the guy with a smile and asked, "Little second brother, do you still lack miscellaneous here?" ”

"It's missing, it's been lacking." The guy nodded and said: "The shopkeeper still asked me to recruit people today, since you left, the store is understaffed, you don't want to come back, let me tell you, Dali Temple secret agent, what a good errand this is, the future is infinitely bright, how many people can't ask for it, you don't want to be stupid......"

Yuan Fang pointed to the demon seed boy and explained, "It's not me, I want him to do chores here." ”

The man glanced at the demon boy and asked, "We are here to do chores, but it's very tiring, can you endure the hardship?" ”

The young man looked excited, nodded vigorously, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I can eat any hardship, as long as I can have food, I am not afraid of anything!" ”

The man looked at him again and said, "We have food and shelter here, five cents a day, but we are tired, if we can endure hardship, we can come to work this afternoon......"

The demon seed boy looked down at his side and whispered, "I, I still have a younger brother......

The man looked at the child again and said, "It's a little smaller, it should be enough to serve tea and water to the guests, be diligent in your legs and feet, take care of food and housing, and pay two dollars a day, are you willing to do it?" ”

The demon seed boy said again and again: "Willing, willing to ......"

They don't care about wages at all, as long as they don't have to sleep in bridges and caves, and they can eat enough every day, they are already satisfied.

The demon seed boy wanted to thank Yuan Fang, but when he turned around, he realized that he didn't know when, he was gone.

Yuan Fang hummed a brisk tune, walking on the streets of Chang'an, the demon boy reminded him of his previous self, as long as he took his work seriously, he would definitely be able to live a good life in Chang'an.

Suddenly, Yuan Fang's big ears stood up again, and a faint sound reached his ears.

"Heist it!"

"That guy stole my jewelry!"

Yuan Fang recognized the direction in which the voice was coming from, jumped into the sky, and jumped onto the roof.

On another street, a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, with his familiarity with the streets and alleys, easily got rid of several agents from Honglu Temple, got out of another street entrance, took out a jade bracelet from his arms, and showed a smug smile on his face.

However, his smile quickly solidified on his face.

Ahead, a small figure descended from the sky and rode on his head.

The man was startled and was about to resist, when a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a flying knife had already hit his neck.

A teenager with a pair of big furry ears rode on top of him, snorted coldly, and said, "Don't move, you're arrested!" ”

……

"Be honest, don't try to run."

"Those who have hands and feet, what they don't do well, they have to be thieves!"

"Do you know, these things you stole are enough for you to go to jail for three months!"

……

On the streets of Chang'an City, a big-eared boy was reprimanding a man, the man was walking on the street with his hands tied, hanging his head, and was driven by the teenager in the direction of Dali Temple.

This demon seed boy, although he is not very old and petite, but he is agile, and the flying knife in his hand is even more cold, he can't beat it, he can't run, he can only admit it completely.

Yuan Fang pressed the thief for a quarter of an hour, and then came to a tall and magnificent yamen.

There is a plaque hanging at the entrance of the yamen, on which are written the three big characters of "Dali Temple".

Dali Temple is located in the root of the imperial city of Chang'an City, is directly under the empress of the serious crime team and intelligence agencies, under the management of the new Dali Temple Secretary Di Renjie, it has become a place that makes corrupt officials frightened, ruffians and hooligans frightened, and illegal gangs operating in the underground smell of the cold place.

This is where Yuan Fang works.

Escorting the prisoner into Dali Temple, Yuan Fang shouted loudly: "Zhang Jiaocheng, I have caught another criminal......

An old man with gray hair ran out of a certain office and said, "What are you shouting, you are coming......

The old man's surname is Zhang, and he is a prisoner in Dali Temple, an official who specializes in managing prisoners in Dali Temple.

He put his hands behind his back, glanced at the man in front of him, and asked Yuan Fang, "What crime did he commit?" ”

Yuan Fang said with a smile: "He snatched a young lady's jade bracelet and was caught by me on the street." ”

The old man asked, "That's it?" ”

Yuan Fang was puzzled: "Is there anything else?" ”

The old man rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Xiao Yuanfang, you have been coming to our Dali Temple for a month, how many times have I told you, our Dali Temple is a place to handle big cases, don't send any little thieves here, if you go on like this, the cells of Dali Temple will be filled with you sooner or later, and at that time, what will happen to the new felons......"

Yuan Fang scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot ......"

The old man waved his hand and said, "Send him to Honglu Temple, catching thieves is a matter of Honglu Temple, you will send anyone to Dali Temple in the future, and I will let Master Di deduct your salary......"

Speaking of salary, Yuan Fang's face changed, and he immediately said: "Send it, send it immediately!" ”

That man has very strict requirements for his subordinates, whether it is a late patrol, or not responding to the call on time, or doing something wrong, it is difficult to escape punishment, Yuan Fang's salary alone, tightly supporting the family, he doesn't even want to be deducted a copper coin.

The old man was just scared and scared him, urging: "Go quickly, Master Di has just been summoned into the palace by His Majesty, and it is time to come back in a while." ”

Yuan Fang immediately left Dali Temple with the criminal and walked in the direction of Honglu Temple.

Honglu Temple is a yamen to deal with the big and small disputes in Chang'an City, whether it is a market conflict, a racial dispute, or some mysterious cases, all belong to the Honglu Temple, because Honglu Temple and Dali Temple often conflict because of the ownership of the case in the jurisdiction, and the detectives of Dali Temple do not like to come here.

Yuan Fang really likes Honglu Temple, the atmosphere of Dali Temple is too depressing, he still likes the relaxed atmosphere of Honglu Temple.

When Yuan Fang pressed the criminals to Honglu Temple, several agents from Honglu Temple were eating shabu-shabu in the courtyard of the yamen.

This is simply impossible to happen in Dali Temple, if the agents of Dali Temple dare to eat shabu during working hours, Master Di is afraid that his lungs will be fried, and he will deduct everyone's salary for a month.

An agent from Honglu Temple looked back, saw Yuan Fang, waved his hand enthusiastically, and said, "It's Xiao Yuanfang, I'm here to send us prisoners again, come, eat two bites together......

In the past month, Yuan Fang has sent prisoners to Honglu Temple, resulting in him being more familiar with the agents of Honglu Temple than his colleagues in Dali Temple.

Yuan Fang waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, I'll send the prisoner and leave." ”

The agent stood up, took Yuan Fang's arm, and said, "Eat two bites and eat two bites, if we don't say it, Master Di won't know." ”

Yuan Fang looked at the copper pot rolling in the red waves, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Then I'll take a bite, just take a bite......"

The thief stood in the courtyard of Honglu Temple, watching everyone eat shabu-shabu, no one paid attention to him, and was about to sneak away, but he was chained from behind.

An agent from the Minghonglu Temple snorted coldly and said, "When you get here, you still want to run, you want to be beautiful, stay in prison......

A quarter of an hour later.

Belch......

In the courtyard of Honglu Temple, Yuan Fang touched his stomach and burped in satisfaction.

He said it was only one bite, and in the end he ate a whole bowl.

Shabu-shabu is really the most delicious thing in the world, I really envy these people in Honglu Temple, and they can do as they like when they go to work, for the detectives of Dali Temple, this kind of thing is unimaginable.

After eating and drinking, Yuan Fang said goodbye to the detectives of Honglu Temple, and was about to go back to Dali Temple, when Honglu Temple suddenly received a report that there was a case in Chang'an City.
