Hey, our princess is a fairy

After comforting Chen Fa, we each went back to our room to rest.

Duan Kai still ran over meanly and asked me if I was afraid at night, if I was afraid, just tell him.

I yawned as if I didn't hear it, and turned my head and slammed the door shut.

What a joke, this thing is not as big as a fart to me, what am I afraid of.

After getting up early the next morning and having breakfast, Chen Fa thanked us again and left, leaving us staring at the inn.

"What should we do next?" Lin Feng sat at the table with his legs together, his face serious.

"Hmm." Duan Kai finished his last mouthful of porridge, smacked his lips, and said, "I'll meet the prefect of Longjiang Mansion later, he should know a lot of things there."

It's not far from the yamen, and we were too lazy to take a carriage, so the few of us simply walked there.

On the way, Duan Kai asked Lu Chen: "Master, do you think that the cat demon who attacked Chen Fa last night is the same as that white cat?"

Before Lu Chen could speak, I hugged my shoulders and casually interjected: "Although the white cat is a cat demon, it doesn't have the murderous aura of a ferocious monster. I don't know what that black-haired cat demon is." Why, but that white cat doesn't look like it will kill people."

Song Bai couldn't believe it: "You can see that too? He's a demon!"

I snorted: "What's wrong with the demon? You are still a human being, there is no good or bad in a human being? It's so strange that there are good demons and bad demons in demons."

Song Bai was so choked by me that he couldn't speak.

Duan Kai looked at Lu Chen, who nodded.

Duan Kai grabbed my sleeve: "I said, little magic stick, how do you know so much?"

I snatched the clothes from his hand vigorously, snorted: "I told you, I heard it from the book, okay?"

Just as they were making noise, they came to the Yamen of Longjiang Mansion.

The yamen of the Longjiang Mansion was built with a bit of momentum, the vermilion door was wide open, and two tall and burly yamen servants stood on both sides with killing sticks in their hands, both in good spirits.

Duan Kai nodded slightly, and pouted at Song Bo Nu, Song Bai understood, took out Duan Kai's gold medal from his arms, went up to negotiate with the yamen servants, and after a few words, one of the yamen servants ran away with the token went in.

After a while, a middle-aged man in the magistrate's official uniform ran out in a panic with many people.

Seeing Duan Kai, the middle-aged man bowed his head and bowed:

"The next official, Kong Zhihui, paid his respects to the lord, but he failed to meet him in time. I hope the lord will forgive me."

Duan Kai waved his hand, signaling to Kong Zhihui that there is no need to be too polite. This Kong Zhihui is about 40 years old, with a square face with Chinese characters, and a pair of tiger eyes under the thick eyebrows, which is quite calm and prestige.

Kong Zhihui welcomed us in, gave the main seat to Duan Kai, and served tea and snacks. Seeing Duan Kai drink a few sips of tea, he hesitated for a long time before standing below and speaking:

"I don't know my lord..."

Duan Kai didn't seem to hear, picked up a candied golden date, handed it to me, and said in a low voice, "Try it, it's delicious."

I took it and stuffed it into my mouth, frowning, it was too sweet.

Duan Kai picked up the tea and handed it to me. I took a sip of the tea and pressed it down. I peeked at Kong Zhihui who was left there by Duan Kai. At this moment, Kong Zhihui was looking embarrassed. Duan Kai ignored him and told him to say No, no, no.

I know Duan Kai did it on purpose. Kong Zhihui looks like an official who works for the government and the people, but it is his fault that the cat monster has not been reported. More or less still a little angry.

I was taken aback after thinking about it just now, when did I know Duan Kai so well?

While struggling, Duan Kai opened his mouth: "Master Kong, don't stand still, sit down."

Kong Zhihui heaved a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and sat down half of his buttocks on one side.

"Master Kong, I heard something on the way here. You are not peaceful recently, are you?" After Kong Zhihui sat down, Duan Kai opened his mouth leisurely with a bowl of tea.

Kong Zhihui had a bitter expression on his face, and he couldn't help wiping his sweat: "If you go back to the prince...it's not very peaceful..."

"Why is it unfair?" Duan Kai asked.

"That's...that's..." Kong Zhihui faltered for a long time, before choking out two words: "Cat demon..."

Duan Kai sneered, and put the teacup in his hand fiercely: "You are really brave. You still want to hide such a big matter and so many people died! If it wasn't for this king who happened to pass by, wouldn't you Know what it's like!"

Kong Zhihui was so yelled at by Duan Kai that he didn't dare to answer, and kept wiping the sweat off his face.

After Duan Kai shouted, he waved his hand at him: "I didn't come here today to ask questions. Your fault is naturally determined by the emperor. Now tell me everything you know about cat demons."

Kong Zhihui nodded and told us the whole thing intermittently.

What he said was not different from that of the inn's shopkeeper Wang, but in the end he added some things to us.

"The corpses killed by the cat demon are all kept in the yizhuang behind the Xiaguan's yamen. The Xiaguan invited a lot of people to do autopsies. There was some disagreement among the people who were originally uncontroversial."

"What is it?" Duan Kai became interested.

Kong Zhihui continued: "It's about the scars on the face of the deceased. Those scars criss-crossed, making the deceased completely unrecognizable. After reading most of the works, they said that they were caught by huge sharp claws; but there are still a small number of works. It is true that it was scratched, but it is still open to question if it was not caught by a cat demon."

"To be discussed?" Lin Feng on the side was taken aback.

Song Bai understood: "The small part of the author thinks that someone wears steel claws, pretending to be a cat demon killing people?"

"This is exactly what I mean." Kong Zhihui felt aggrieved at this point: "It's not that I don't want to report it, because there are some doubts, I want to find out before reporting to the court..."

Duan Kai glanced at him sideways: "Is it my fault?"

"Don't dare..." Kong Zhihui shrank his neck.

"National teacher, are you sure that the white cat yesterday is a cat demon?" Duan Kai pondered for a while, then turned to ask Lu Chen.

Lu Chen nodded: "That's right, it's impossible for an ordinary cat to escape my magic weapon."

Lin Feng testified: "I also smelled evil spirits yesterday!"

I was also a little confused: "This means that those murderers are most likely not cat demons, but someone pretending to be a cat demon to kill, and all of them are innocent passers-by and homeless people? What is he planning?"

Kong Zhihui shook his head: "I just don't know what his motives are, so the lower officials are at a loss. They have to issue regulations requiring people to close their homes at night and not to go out at night, so as to minimize casualties."

Duan Kai knocked on the table with his hands, pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, it would be easier to know that the murderer might be a human being."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Song Bai, and Song Bai was terrified, with a puzzled expression on his face: "My lord, what do you think I am doing?"

Duan Kai grinned at him: "Song Bai! Has anyone told you that you have a particularly obvious temperament."

Song Bai shook his head: "What temperament?"

Duan Kai continued to laugh, like a big bad wolf seducing a lamb: "The temperament of cannon fodder."

The author has something to say:
