[Rat cat] The legend of Lou Xiaochong

Not to mention the guarding of Dou Shuangxue at Wanli Bianguan, where Bai Wuye is investigating suspicious cases everywhere. He is not a member of the official family, and he does not have a golden waist card that can be used wherever he takes it out and shakes it. I know a few friends from the rivers and lakes, but they can't help much at the moment.Seeing the snow falling in winter, he just got some scattered news here.Fortunately, although the case was vicious, he didn't have a deep hatred for him.On the contrary, this month of wandering alone has given him a lot of experience in the world.

For example, food and drink should be tested for drugs; for example, it may be much easier to change your outfit.

Anyway, being alone is boring, and Bai Yutang has recently become interested in dressing up as a down-and-out scholar.This couldn't be easier, just find a poor student of similar stature, exchange all the clothes with him, and make up a bag of money for him, and the job will be done together.Bai Wuye glanced at the mirror, and the honor was interesting enough—the blue cloth long gown was actually a long gown, not to mention it was washed white, and the cuffs were worn out at the elbows, and the threads were broken; the Confucian scarf on top of his head was originally locked around I don't know what year it fell on; not to mention the pair of soap boots under my feet, they have rotted so long ago that there is only a boot toe left, and the soles are also tattered and lookless.He stretched out his hands to smear some dust on his face, his hair was a little messed up, and he looked like a poor man wandering in the city with no hope of entering school. *

Bai Yutang tidied up like this, on the one hand, he really wanted to investigate the case, so that his friends in the world would not worry about this kind of dressing;Just imitating the appearance of a down-and-out scholar, he staggered out, found a horse, and rushed to a place.Since there were so many things to think about, Bai Yutang was in a hurry to make a name for himself. At dusk, Bai Yutang went to the city to find his elder brother's acquaintance to store a horse, and went to the inn by himself.To say that fish and dragons are mixed and news gathers, it has to be places such as inns and restaurants.

The small town is not big, and there are two decent inns.Bai Yutang picked a house that looked clean, and walked in.But the owner of the shop is also a mortal, and the owner of the clothes is the first thing to look at.He looked at Bai Yutang from head to toe, and only said coldly: "Big room with a shop, twenty big money for one night, the money is paid first!"

Hey!Bai Wuye grew up, when did he sleep in the bunk!Sleeping with a dozen or twenty rough men who have been driving a carriage and forking sheep grass for a day?He has never been squeezed in his sleep!At that moment, Bai Wuye slapped the table, and even the abacus jumped up: "A dog's eyes see people as inferior, and the best room speeds up!"

The shopkeeper snorted.His store is a century-old brand, which has been passed down from his grandfather for three generations. He learned to sit at the counter since he was a child.Such a customer would not be able to pay if he stayed, and even if he collected the money, he would still be troublesome. He absolutely didn't want to deal with it—so he waved his hand to the shop assistant and signaled him to drive away.

Unexpectedly, the guy in this store is new here, he doesn't know how to wink, and he thought he was going to lead the customers to choose a room.As soon as he waved the handkerchief like this, Fifth Master was taken aback for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth, and walked to the backyard deliberately arrogantly, causing the shopkeeper to chase after him, jumping around and yelling at the waiter as "idiot".

Bai Yutang glanced over, and saw that the single-door courtyard behind here was full of lights, and all the rooms were indeed full.He originally wanted to ask if there were any private rooms in the front building, but he was annoyed by the noise from the shop owner, and he pretended to be poor. He also imitated the tone he heard these days: "You, the owner of the shop, dare to bully you. We are scholars! Do you know the dignity of our scholars? Once you entered the Hall of the Son of Heaven, it scared you to pee!"

There was such a fuss, and before I could figure out how it would end, a boy came out of the small courtyard on the left, followed by a scholar—this is a true scholar.

People who grew up reading sage books are different. This scholar invited Bai Wuye to live with him, and even called his buddy to come and order wine and food to eat with him.Bai Yutang casually made up a homonym of his nickname "Jin Maoshu" and exchanged names with him, knowing that this person was named Yan Chasan, and he was going to Beijing to catch the exam.After chatting for a while, when Yan Chasan mentioned Master Bao, his tone was full of admiration, so Bai Yutang paid attention and looked at him secretly, like a knight among scholars.

When the waiter came to invite the guests to order, although Mr. Yan read a lot, he seldom went out. When it came to delicious local food, he was not as good as Bai Yutang, who had been in a teahouse for a few days.Bai Yutang was not polite to him either, he just followed what everyone admired, and asked the waiter to bring the top-quality noodles, and added an extra fresh carp with tender bamboo shoots.He gave his instructions meticulously, and Yan Chasan's book boy gasped as he listened.

As for the wine, Bai Yutang pondered for a moment, asked the waiter specifically, and ordered the best old privet, Chen Shao.

The buddies responded one by one, and went to the kitchen to yell.Here Yan Chasan asked with a smile: "Brother Jin is indeed well-informed, so you must be particular about ordering the dishes?"

He meant to ask for advice with an open mind, but Bai Yutang had other deep meanings and was inconvenient to tell others.I just talked about some health preservation principles with that carp. "There is nothing to say about this wine. Only this privet Chen Shao, also known as Nv Nu Hong, can be brewed by every family, but it has to be patient and buried deeply. It will be the most mellow when it is old."

Not for a while did the food and drink order come up, Bai Yutang urged Mr. Yan to eat more, he just smiled and drank one cup after another, Yan Chasan couldn't persuade him, so he moved his chopsticks to eat two mouthfuls of fish.

Yan Chasan's book boy waited on him, muttering in a low voice, "Could it be a pity that you can't finish drinking this jar of wine for four taels of silver? I've never seen someone who only cares about drinking like this."

Who knows that Bai Yutang is not shy, but nodded generously: "Young brother is right, the whole table has eight dishes and eight bowls, none of which is as precious as this Chen Shao." After finishing speaking, Still warming the wine slowly, a smile appeared on his face.

Yan Chasan saw that he couldn't hide his arrogance and free-spiritedness, and knew that he had his own set of rules for doing things, so he didn't ask too many questions, but just talked about his daily reading experience and his feelings about the current world.Just as he was talking about the fact that he was just in charge of the government today, there must be a new atmosphere, which is a good opportunity for aspiring men of our generation, Bai Yutang suddenly interjected with great interest: "Brother Yan is not a nerd who sits and reads scriptures all day long? Alright, I Let's test you, how many people in this world can be called 'virtuous kings'?"

"A virtuous king?" Yan Chasan nodded his forehead and thought for a while, "Nowadays, the world is peaceful, and both the court and the people are brothers and harmonious. If you want to be a virtuous man who abides by the law, many princes and princes can get one." The word "virtuous"; if you want to achieve righteousness, you must first promote the Eighth Prince. I don't know what Brother Jin thinks?"

That's it.Bai Yutang nodded in thought, the Eighth Prince and Master Bao have always been on good terms, so it should be credible.So who should I check?Ordinarily, those who are called virtuous in the mouth of the barbarians should be different from me in the Central Plains.He was thinking about things in his heart, but naturally he just kept drinking on the surface, and casually told some interesting and miscellaneous news from recent days, to relieve Mr. Yan's boredom.

While chatting, we finished our meal, and the sky became very dark.Bai Yutang ate less, drank a lot, and was preoccupied, so dizzy that he felt overwhelmed.Fortunately, Mr. Yan is a decent person, he lives in a detached courtyard with enough beds inside and outside.Bai Yutang didn't take off his clothes either, he just kicked off the toes of his boots and fell asleep on his head.Yan Chasan didn't bother him, he brought a bookboy with him and went out with a lampstand to set it up.

Early the next morning, when Yan Shusheng's master and servant got up to wash up, that "Uncle Jin Mao" had disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty bed.When I went to ask the store clerk to collect the bill, I realized that he had already paid all the money—not only the settlement, but also a lot of rewards to the cook and waiter, and even the master and servant of the Yan family. I personally nodded and bowed to send it off.

In fact, Bai Yutang, a fake scholar, is also taking the road to Beijing.But he was thinking about something to investigate, so he got up early and the horse was fast, so he naturally left Yan Chasan far away.But in three days, he was close to Bianliang City.At the beginning, he wanted to ask Mr. Bao from Zhan Zhao's family to give him more information, but after running for a few days, and the cold north wind was blowing, Bai Yutang felt that he should wait and see.When he arrived at his joint, he sent a few letters, some back to Xingkong Island, and some to Northern Xinjiang, and he also inquired about some news with his acquainted Jiang Hu friends.He himself went to hang out in teahouses and taverns as usual, listening to people's discussions, and waiting for letters—he had almost had enough of playing, and changed back into a white robe and white jacket with snowflake satin, and there was a younger brother who waited on him everywhere he went. lead the way.

It was the same today, Wuye Bai was leaning against the window on the second floor of the teahouse, half of his ears were listening to the bragging of the men downstairs, and half of his ear was listening to the storytellers over there talking about ancient times.Today's lively talk is the story of Di Renjie in the Tang Dynasty who solved the case like a god. He attracted the souls of those who listened to the book.

Bai Yutang listened for a while, then turned his head to look out the window and chuckled: How could he be so magical.Even if one is as smart as eight, there is not always someone who will bring clues to the case; besides, wherever you go to drink tea, you will encounter a murder case?Fifth Master has been wandering around the rivers and lakes for many days, how come no one murdered in a secret room with no traces on his body?It's not uncommon to see things like stealing chickens, being lazy and stealing men.

However, he glanced at the crowd listening to the book, shook his head and smiled.Half a year ago, he himself had the same view on the "officer who solves the case".But now, since meeting someone, he has learned a lot.

By the way, that "someone" hasn't sent any news back for a long time.

The tea in the porcelain bowl in front of him was already cold.Bai Yutang took out his purse and was about to call Dr. Cha to pay the bill when he heard a shout——

The author has something to say:

*Bai Wuye’s outfit is based on the 33rd chapter of Shi Yukun’s "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "A Real Celebrity First Meets Bai Yutang, a Beautiful Hero Three-Tests Yan Chasan", the original text: (Yu Mo) saw him wearing a hat Wearing a flowered scarf, wearing a piecemeal blue shirt, and a pair of broken soap boots without foundations, his face is covered with dust. He really doesn't look like a student, but like a rascal.

The original book is very lively this time, the images of Master Wu, Yan Chasan, and the book boy are all very vivid, I suggest that those who have never read it, Zhi Du Niang, take a look~

But since Lou Xiaochong changed the previous story to Butterfly, the fifth master here has no intention of teasing Yan Sheng, so Yan Sheng has become a character who promotes the plot and saves it for later use ==
