Qin Tai, the Criminal Division, has been very relaxed these days, and Zhan Xiaoxiao has gone home to visit relatives. Xiao Lingzi returned to his hometown and reported to Qin Tai's parents that they were safe. "Ma Sandao" has a rare opportunity to go back and reunite with his wife and children for a few days. There are only "Wang Lao Wu" and "Old Drunkard" masters by Qin Tai's side. However, the "old drunkard" master didn't have the heart to accompany Qin Tai, because the annual wine tasting conference was being held in Nanjing.

Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangnan, is a very good official, one to celebrate the great victory ahead, the second to celebrate his dream of becoming the governor of Jiangnan, and the third to celebrate his escape, so it is recommended to hold an annual wine tasting conference, and the city of Nanjing will immediately become lively. The business of restaurants, restaurants, and restaurants is very good, and some foreign business groups do not miss this opportunity and come to Nanjing City with their own goods. The city of Nanjing suddenly became lively.

Qin Tai is a person who doesn't like to drink, and he is even more a person who doesn't like to be lively. He could see that Hu Zongxian didn't want to get too close to him. Hu Zongxian is a very snobbish person, he likes to use others when he has something, and he doesn't like irrelevant people to disturb him when he has nothing to do. Therefore, Qin Tai would not send it to the door to find it unpleasant, lest neither of them be happy.

Qin Tai has no other hobbies in his life except for liking to solve cases. His only interest is to study medical science, so when he has nothing to do these days, he changes into ordinary people's clothes and goes to a used bookstore to find books to read. Most of the books I looked for were medical books, and I didn't buy them or talk about them, and I read them for most of the day. The owner of the angry bookstore tried several times to drive this white reader out of his bookstore. But Qin Tai is not stupid, every time he reads a book, he will leave a few pennies as his "borrowing fee". Gradually, the bookstore owner also accepted the young man and allowed Qin Tai to read at will in his bookstore. Qin Tai always carried a few buns in his arms, and he read a book in the bookstore all day. The second child in the bookstore is a little second who respects readers, so he often comes over and secretly pours Qin Tai a bowl of free tea. In the eyes of the shopkeeper, Qin Tai is a poor scholar who can't afford to buy books. Reading books in bookstores every day is just to save a little money to buy books.

When Qin Tai was just reading a book that day, the bookstore passed by a few outsiders. Why do you say it's an outsider? For not only were their faces weathered, but their feet were covered with half-dried dirt. The city of Nanjing is full of stone slabs, and it has not rained for the past few days, so there will be no wet mud in the city of Nanjing. These people must have come from a ferry port or a water-stained place. These people are some businessmen, some businessmen who do small business. During the day, I came to Nanjing City to do business, left Nanjing City at night, and hurried into the city to do business the next day. All I earned was the difference between the two places and the hard-earned money.

The owner of the bookstore had planned to get away with these businesses, but after hearing a few words about their chat, he became interested. The shopkeeper also went to chat, anyway, there was only Qin Tai in the store. They chatted vigorously, and the owner of the bookstore seemed to be arguing with the businessman.

The shopkeeper asked Qin Tai to help persuade him, because in most people's minds, a scholar is a master, and his words are more effective and authoritative.

Qin Tai had no choice but to go over and listen to them, and after listening to a few words, Qin Tai also felt strange. The businessman said that something strange had happened outside the city, and a large group of rabbits wore hats on their heads. The owner of the bookstore said that rabbits don't wear hats, and I haven't heard of any rabbits wearing hats. The owner of the bookstore said that the businessman was lying. Another businessman said he could testify on behalf of his companion.

Qin Tai was shocked, the rabbit wore a hat? This kind of thing has never been heard of. But isn't a rabbit wearing a hat on its head a "wrong" word? Could it be that someone is deliberately spreading the news in an attempt to get everyone's attention? Or is there really any major case?

In the society at that time, the common people had no money for their children to go to school, and the second imperial court had strict rules and regulations. Ordinary people cannot read and write, and some people cannot read. At that time, the government divided people into three, six, nine and so on, and the so-called "Shinong businessmen" and "scholars" referred to the official eunuchs and squire families. "Nong" does not refer to peasants, but to landlords who own land. "Gong" refers to a craftsman, or a person who eats by technology. "Shang" refers to a small businessman, not a person who is collectively referred to as a businessman. Some big businessmen have long been ranked in the ranks of "scholars" and belong to the squires or officials and businessmen. Of course, the government officials and the soldiers of the army are not "soldiers", but can only be regarded as "workers". The imperial court had regulations that "scholars" must read, "farmers" could or could not read, "workers" could only read books related to their majors, and "merchants" could only understand some words. As for the peasants who are not ranked in the ranks, and the ordinary people living at the lowest level, they are not qualified to read and write. In the past, many people could not even write their own names, let alone read the words on the notices. Some people with unscrupulous intentions take advantage of the ignorance of the common people to deceive or defraud the common people of their little hard-earned money.

The person who can read and use the rabbit to wear a hat to spread the word must not be an illiterate ordinary person. The grievances he said may also be false, but if they are, they must not be ordinary cases. As soon as he heard that there was a case, Qin Tai's spirit came up. After Qin Tai asked where the rabbit was infested, he left a piece of broken silver and left. This piece of silver was enough to buy several sets of good books, and it really made the owner of the bookstore happy for a while.

Qin Tai came to the outside of Nanjing alone, although it was only a short distance, but there was a big difference between inside and outside the city. The price of goods in the city is several times higher than that outside the city, and a small house in the city can be sold to buy a large mansion outside the city. Outside the city, you can sell a bowl of tea or a fritter for a penny, and when you go to the city, herbal tea sells for a bowl of three pennies, and fritters cost five or two for three cents. Fifty yuan to eat lunch, the city can only go to some roadside stalls, an eleven or twelve-year-old child can not eat, after arriving outside the city, fifty yuan of Chinese food may not be eaten by a big man. Therefore, some smart people often do business in the city and go outside the city to consume. However, there is a charge for entering and leaving Nanjing City, and one person has five cents, and if you bring the goods, you will be counted outside.

Although Qin Tai was dressed as a common man, the soldiers guarding the city gate knew this Qin Tai. When Qin Tai came to Nanjing City, he was very majestic, not only did the Changshi of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion greet him personally, but even Chen Yuan, the eunuch who is now dead in Nanjing, also personally waited at the city gate for a while before receiving Qin Tai. The soldiers guarding the city gate had never seen the eunuch personally picking up people at the city gate. There are even rumors that the eunuch Chen Yuan offended Qin Tai and led to his downfall. Therefore, ordinary soldiers didn't dare not remember the appearance of this Qin Tai. The soldiers secretly drew Qin Tai's appearance and passed it to every soldier on duty to watch, and the soldiers in the province offended this Qin Tai.

Qin Tai ignored the inferior soldiers at the city gate, and kept running to the place where the businessman said. But the group of rabbits was gone, and Qin Tai searched for a long time but didn't find it. But on the way back, more and more people are talking about it. Everyone said they saw the bunnies in hats, and each of them had a hat on their heads.

Qin Tai went outside the city again the next morning, but he didn't see any rabbits. But when I came back, someone said that I saw a large group of rabbits wearing hats in the other direction. When Qin Tai rushed over, the rabbit still didn't see it. Qin Tai was also ruthless, so he simply found a place outside the city where rabbits often haunted to spend the night, and he must see this group of rabbits wearing hats with his own eyes.

After waiting for two nights and one day, I finally saw this group of rabbits wearing hats. Qin Tai also discovered some secrets that outsiders did not know, thus confirming his opinion. First of all, this group of rabbits is a group of rabbits that are specially raised, not a group of wild rabbits. Because they have a better coat color and are cleaner. Although rabbits love to be clean, they won't be so clean if there is no human care. Second, these rabbits have a certain pattern of movement and have enjoyed a certain amount of training. If no one teaches them, these bunnies are really too smart. Thirdly, the hat of Rabbit Head Mountain was brought by man, not only with the hat, but also with a rope. And there are often people cleaning up and putting hats on the rabbits.

Qin Tai followed the group of rabbits, walked around the city, and finally returned to a place. The reason why the rabbit knows the way home is because the rabbits keep making marks along the way. The so-called marking is to poop on the road, and the rabbit's poop not only has a lot of nutrients, but also has a strong smell. Some rabbits like to eat their own or their own stool and digest it again.

When Qin Tai came to the rabbit nest, he saw a white light flashing, and he didn't see anything else. Qin Tai was guessing that if it was a rabbit, this rabbit might be a little too big, a bit outrageous. If it were a person, this person would be a little too small, only half the size of a normal person. What could it be?

Qin Tai continued to walk inside, the rabbit nest was not big, and he could almost see it at a glance. Not far from the inside, there was a stone with many words on it. Because Qin Tai couldn't see clearly, he had to touch the words on it with his hand and guess them one by one.

After two full hours, Qin Tai finally finished "reading" the content above, what was written on it was really scary, if it was true, the matter would be too serious. But if it's fake, who can make up something so detailed, so many names and places don't seem fake. Qin Tai decided to go back and investigate carefully, and if there was a basis, he might as well continue to investigate.
