Chapter Twenty-Five: What a Bad Excuse

"Yes, there is something that came to me today." Nan Qi got straight to the point, "The two of you still remember the Jiangfu thief cat demon, this cat demon died violently in the second half of the night when he was caught in prison, there are runes in the prison to suppress, it stands to reason that ordinary monsters can't get close, that cat demon is timid by nature, greedy for life and afraid of death, it doesn't look like it will break off on its own, the death is strange, I want to ask you two what do you think?" ”

"It was the masked youkai who made it." Ruan Yuandao, do you still need to look at this, the only one who is hooked up with the cat demon is the monster.

The meaning is obvious, killing the cat demon is to prevent himself from being exposed, so what secrets are hidden on this masked man? Where did the stolen money go?

"What happened to the jewels that Jiang Mansion lost?" Ruan Yuan asked again.

Nan Qi shook his head, "Whenever I asked about this, the cat demon opened his mouth, and he couldn't speak with all his might, as if he was controlled by some spell, and then not long after I left, news came from the prison that the cat demon had died violently. ”

"Have you checked, what are the big deals in the city recently?" Yi Ling asked, if he hadn't been transferred out of the city, he would have to use so much money to steal it.

"Only Chengnan Huazhuang has changed owners." South Seven Roads.

Chengnan Flower Village, that Feng Ye.

"I've also heard of one or two, the owner of the village always likes to invite some young ladies and girls to swim in the lake and sing poetry, which is very elegant." Nguyen Yuan Dao.

"Swimming in the lake and chanting poetry, that's also a lot of expenses." Easy Zero Road.

"Yes, I went to see it, and I also asked the original owner, and he said that this flower village was not his originally, but he has been taking the money and helping to take care of it." South Seven Roads.

So, where did the stolen money go?

"There's one more thing, I know the masked youkai that night, from Survival City, is ...... A private school gentleman in Survival City, named Meng Yan, is a thousand-year-old fox demon. When Nan Qi said this, he seemed to be trying his best to endure some great pain.

"Nan Zhutou has also been to Survival City?" Yi Ling squinted his eyes, the survival city is another ugly city.

"I was fortunate enough to go to play, that Meng Yan is a private school gentleman of a friend's family, I have met a few times, he looks delicate, gentle and elegant, and he has a deep memory." Nan Qi replied unhurriedly.

Listening to Nan Qi's answer, Yi Ling just smiled at the corner of his mouth, and did not chase after him.

"Fox demon, why did you come to Luoyang City?" Ruan Yuan couldn't help but wonder.

"Now that you know the true face of the masked man, can you find this person in Luoyang City?" Ruan Yuan asked Nanqi.

Yi Ling sighed and said, "I can't find it, the thousand-year-old fox demon can already cultivate into a human form, the fox demon has a charming human form, and Fang Cai Nan Zhutou also said, the scholar is delicate, I think it is a skin that the fox demon is looking for, so if you look for it according to the appearance of the scholar, you can't find it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them fell silent, and the clue was broken.

"Aside from this, is there anything else you want to tell the head of the South Catcher?" Yi Ling holds the teacup in his hand and gently frostes the rim with his index finger.

"No, it's just that I've worked with Gongzi Yi and Miss Ruan, and I want to make friends with them." Nan Zhutou bowed his head slightly, smiling.

Ruan Yuan also smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart, when you said this, did you believe it yourself?

"How long has Miss Ruan been here?" Nan Qi turned his head and asked Ruan Yuan.

Ruan Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile, "More than a month is not a long time. ”

Nan Qi nodded thoughtfully, "Where is Miss Ruan from?" Where do you live? ”

"I, I'm an abandoned baby, I was raised too much by the teacher of Daoqing'an, I can be regarded as half of Luoyang." Ruan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, he came to probe the bottom, and then replied with a smile.

"Where's Yi Gongzi?" Nan Qi threw the question to Yi Zero again.

Yi Ling smiled, "A stinky Taoist priest who sets up a stall to collect demons, and the four seas are his home." ”

"But I heard that the southern catcher is from Chang'an, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't know how the south catcher made the saint unhappy? How did you get sent to Luoyang? Yi Ling took a sip of tea.

"I'm ashamed to say that when I was in Chang'an, I had a conflict with Guo Chengwen, the youngest son of Prime Minister Guo, and kicked off one of his youngest son's ribs in a hurry.

"Oh? In this way, I don't know what kind of official position he held in Chang'an before Nan Zhutou? Yi Ling asked again.

"Little Jing Zhaoyi." South Seven Roads.

"Jing Zhaoyi, a fourth-grade official position, is the same grade as the prefect of the Wang, it's a pity to catch the head of the south." Yi Zero pretended to sigh.

"In the past, it was just an idle job to play with flowers, and I couldn't do anything." Nan Qi was very relaxed when he said this, and he didn't regret being degraded at all.

Ruan Yuan didn't interject, and the conversation between the two was like a fight between the gods, and they didn't have any good intentions.

A few people politely talked about some useless nonsense, and Nan Qi didn't ask anything, so he had to give up, find a reason to be entangled in official business and leave.

Ruan Yuan leaned against the gate of the mountain, shook his head and sighed, "What a bad excuse." "How can there be any official business, and there is still a heart to go out?

Yi Ling smiled and patted Ruan Yuan's shoulder, "Let's go, let's cook, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm starving." ”

Ruan Yuan followed up and asked, "So where are you from, senior brother?" ”

Yi Ling turned his head sideways and asked with a smile, "What about you, junior sister, where are you from?" ”

Yi Ling's gaze seemed to see her through, Ruan Yuan looked away with a weak heart, "Didn't you say it, I picked it up by Jinghe Shitai." ”

Yi Ling nodded, "Well, yes, I suddenly forgot about it just now." ”

The dog thief was testing her, too.

"Then your memory is really bad enough." Ruan Yuan snorted.

Chai Yang probably drank the flower wine and forgot the time, and there was no one in sight when it was dark, seeing that it was almost midnight, Ruan Yuan and Yi Ling were still sitting at the gate of the mountain waiting.

Ruan Yuan supported his head with his hands, dozing off uncontrollably, his hand slipped and lost his support, Ruan Yuan woke up a little, but he was still so sleepy that his eyelids were about to close.

Ruan Yuan felt that his whole body was swaying in this thick sleepiness, so he could only hold Yi Ling's arm to stabilize himself, and said vaguely, "Senior brother, I'm so sleepy, when will the old man come back?" ”

Yi Ling stretched out his hand to pull Ruan Yuan's hand away, and then helped Ruan Yuan to sleep on his lap, "Sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when his old man comes back." ”

If it weren't for the fear that the old man would not be able to find the door after drinking too much, and would have fallen somewhere and been taken away by something wild, he would have been too lazy to wait here.

Ruan Yuan really couldn't resist this thick sleepiness, lying on Yi Ling's lap, and soon fell asleep.

Yi Ling untied the cloak on his body and covered Ruan Yuan's body, looked down at Ruan Yuan's sleeping face, and couldn't help but reach out to brush the broken hair on her forehead.

About half an hour later, Chai Yang walked up with a wine jug in one hand and a portrait in the other.

Chai Yang Brewing staggered over, holding the wine jug and pointing at Yi Ling, "Eh~, stinky boy, hey, hey, hey." ”

Yi Ling sighed helplessly, "I can be regarded as looking forward to you back." After that, Yi Ling held Ruan Yuan's body with one hand, and hugged Ruan Yuan with a horizontal blow, and Chai Yang followed Yi Ling from side to side.

After Yi Ling carried Ruan Yuan into the house and fell asleep, he took Chai Yang back to the house, looked at the portrait that fell on the ground, picked it up, looked up at Chai Yang who was lying on the bed and snoring, and shook his head, "I'm so old, I still like to visit Hualou, I don't know if you can eat this old skull?" ”

He didn't bring the dresser back either, it seems, only a few days later he went to get it himself.

"I also got a portrait back, I don't know which beautiful lady I painted?" After saying that, Yi Ling put the portrait on the table and left.

A few days later, Chen Mazi had already packed his luggage and said goodbye to Xiao Yaojar and Feng Zhaocai.

Xiao Yaojar asked worriedly again, "Are you really not telling Sister Xiao Yuan about this?" ”

"No, the boss is also very busy, besides, I'll be back in half a month, don't worry." Speaking of this, Chen Mazi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the small medicine jar, "This is the information that the boss wants me to check what is easy, you go back and let Xiao Hei bring it to the boss." ”

The little medicine jar took the note, "Okay." ”

Feng Zhaocai stood aside, seeing that he was about to cry again, Chen Mazi smiled helplessly and patted Feng Zhaocai's head, "Fool, cry again, I'll be back in half a month." ”

"Boss, I can't bear you, woo woo." Feng Zhaocai completely broke down and cried, and reached out to ask for a hug.

Chen Mazi hurriedly stretched out his hand to resist, "Don't hug me, the flesh is numb, go back and listen to your little medicine jar sister's words, you know?" ”

"Yes." Feng Zhaocai cried and nodded fiercely.

Then, Chen Mazi turned around and instructed the small medicine jar uneasily, "Dead girl, you also remember to take care of yourself, I have two copper coins in my house, under my bed, if you need to buy anything, go and get it, but don't run out for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Got it, stingy!" The little medicine jar rolled its eyes.

A few people were chatting, when they heard a greeting from the carriage in front of them, "Stop talking, let's go." ”

"Here it is." Chen Mazi responded, and then turned his head to say goodbye to the two, "Let's go." ”

"Be careful on the road." Small medicine tank road.

Immediately after, Feng Zhaocai also waved his hand and shouted, "Boss, come back early." ”

"Okay, let's go back." After Chen Mazi responded with a smile, he turned around and sat on the board behind the horse.

After saying goodbye to Chen Mazi, the little medicine jar took Feng Zhaocai back to the dilapidated house, looking at the empty house, the little medicine jar couldn't help sighing, "It's all gone, only the two of us are left." ”

The little medicine jar took out a bamboo dragonfly from his arms and put it in Feng Zhaocai's hand, "Little Zhaocai doesn't cry, sister has a bamboo dragonfly here, take it to the yard to play." ”

After all, his mind was only four years old, and Feng Zhaocai quickly forgot the sadness of parting, and went out with a bamboo dragonfly and a smile.

The little medicine jar took out the creed given by Chen Mazi, tied it with a string, walked to the yard again, caught Xiao Hei out of the cage, tied the creed to Xiao Hei's legs, and released it.

Looking at Xiao Hei who gradually disappeared from sight, Xiao Yao Jar muttered, "Sister Xiao Yuan, I miss you so much, it's been six days, and I don't know where Brother Junshi is now?" ”
