Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

There are a few black-covered boats parked by the Jiangyin River, and the chains are tightly wound around the wooden stakes at the ferry. The pennies have been taken away, and there are three or two benches and net bags left on them, which must be used by boatmen for ferrying and fishing during the day.

Two men in black ran all the way to one of the boats and knelt down on one knee towards Upengli. After a long while, one of the men in black got up and got in, while the other let the wind out.About a quarter of an hour later, the man in black who had just entered came out and said something. Afterwards, the two jumped into the water together, presumably swimming away.

The boat was still motionless, surprisingly quiet. If Zhan Zhao hadn't seen it just now, he would never have guessed that there would be people inside.

Although they are now separated by hundreds of meters from the river, Zhan Zhao did not dare to be careless in the slightest. It is impossible for someone who can hide like this to be an unknown junior, and his martial arts might completely surpass him.

To prevent his identity from being discovered, Zhan Zhao grabbed onto the railing with one hand, leaned against the dark side covered by the wooden platform, and tiptoed towards the tree where Bai Yutang was.

The trunk is low, not as full as you can see from the crossbar, but you can move with more confidence.

"Cat, you've been staring at that boat for so long, are you sure there's someone there?" After squatting for about half an hour, Bai Yutang finally couldn't help but rubbed his numb legs, questioning Zhan Zhao.He had been on the tree before, not as carefully as Zhan Zhao.

"Go and have a look." Zhan Zhao thought for a while and didn't intend to continue staring at him. It was early in May, even if someone was there, it would be better to startle him out now, so as not to waste time.

The surface of the water was calm, without any fluctuations.

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, nodded at him, the stone flew out of his hand, hit the boat plank with a whoosh sound, bounced it a few times, and rolled into the water, but no one was surprised, or rather, didn't want to come out of the Upon.

"Cat, come on," Bai Yutang said with his lips.

Just in case, Zhan Zhao didn't plan to rush over directly, he raised his right hand and unbuttoned the cuff, revealing the slender sleeve arrow tied on his arm, no bigger than the middle finger, carefully bent over from the hiding place of the reed. Going forward, there was no sound along the way, not even the straw was disturbed.

This boat has probably been used for several years, and the connection between the hull and the water is slightly rotten. Zhan Zhao thought inappropriately in his mind, if they destroy the boat, should they pay for it?

On the other side, Bai Yutang was thinking about a few stones, and looked at the stern of the boat without blinking.

Before Zhan Zhao jumped on the board, he saw that the hull of the boat suddenly swayed lightly. In an instant, Zhan Zhao dodged and rolled from the water to the other side, crushing a piece of weeds. Two thirds of the two darts were buried in the ground, one can imagine how much internal force the person who threw the hidden weapon used.

"Cat!" Bai Yutang quickly threw the stones in his hand towards the boat. After a few impacts, there was no movement, as if the moment just now was an illusion.Zhan Zhao brushed away the wet hair in front of his eyes, not daring to be careless.

"Ah."

A few seconds later, a chuckle was heard from inside, and before the two of them could react, a black shadow flew out of it and landed on the water not far from the boat, effortlessly like a water strider .

Zhan Zhao thinks that his lightness kung fu is very good, and there are very few martial artists who can catch up to him, but if he is allowed to stop on the water, it is absolutely impossible to be like this.

Seeing that the black shadow was not moving, Zhan Zhao acted first, and with a movement of his wrist, he released a black sleeve arrow, hitting the black shadow's head. He saw that the black shadow stretched out his arm and clenched his five fingers, and the silver arrow was crushed like it was made of paper.

"This hero, Zhan came here unexpectedly tonight, so he didn't want to cause any more trouble..."

Zhan Zhao knew that the person in front of him was not easy to deal with, and he and Bai Yutang came empty-handed, and they were not good at close combat, so if they bumped into each other directly, they might not be able to please them.

"Why didn't I know that Nan Xia Zhan Zhao could talk like this?" Soi Ying interrupted Zhan Zhao, "After looking up for so long, did you come here by accident?" After finishing speaking, two darts flew out.

When the black shadow was throwing a dart, Bai Yutang used his strength to kick up from the top of the boat, and swept over with his foot, the white figure was like a flying dragon.The black shadow focused all his attention on Zhan Zhao, and without realizing it, Bai Yutang kicked him to the knee, Zhan Zhao caught up with the momentum, and shot out his sleeve arrows one after another.

"A little progress".

The black shadow smiled instead of being startled, put his feet together, and fell backwards. When Zhan Zhao was about to go up and grab it, he suddenly disappeared into the water and disappeared like a ghost.

"This……"

Zhan Zhao stood on a rock in the lake, staring at the place where he entered the water.Although Bai Yutang grew up in the empty island, he is a landlubber, and Zhan Zhao is similar, and the two of them looked at the water in a daze for a moment.

"This man?!" Bai Yutang angrily kicked the bench on the boat.

"Go back," Zhan Zhao said across the water, wiping his face.

"Don't let Master Bai catch him! You have to let him know how powerful Chinchilla is!" Bai Yutang still blew his beard and stared.

Zhan Zhao coaxed him for a while, and finally persuaded the big Buddha, so that he wouldn't catch a cold the next day after another night of wind.

"Wait, what's that?" Just as he was getting off the boat, Bai Yutang casually looked towards the stern of the boat, where a large group of aquatic plants was intertwined, and there was a faint reflection of a signboard.

"Could it be that the black shadow just fell?" Zhan Zhao wondered, bent down and picked up the fishing net bag on the boat and swiped into the water. Immediately afterwards, a large silver token was picked up.

Bai Yutang stepped forward to pick it up, and looked at it carefully under the moonlight.

"Qi?" There is a seal character engraved on both sides of the token, which is exquisite and delicate. Apart from this, there is no other trace.

"In the martial arts world, there seems to be no one with the surname Qi?" Bai Yutang rubbed his token and asked.

"No, yes," Zhan Zhao stared at the token and thought for a long time, and answered when Bai Yutang thought he would not speak.

"Who?"

"When the King of Xiangyang rebelled, you were sent back to Xingkong Island by Master after you came out of the Chongxiao Tower. I heard the name Qizhuzhu from the mouth of the rebels, but it was chaotic at the time, and I didn't mention it to others after it was over."

Zhan Zhaodao, at that time, many people were lost in the skyscraper tower. After Bai Yutang fell into the copper net formation, he was almost pierced by thousands of arrows and died. Fortunately, his master arrived in time and rescued people from it. I couldn't get out of bed for half a year.

Seeing this, the other four mice directly resigned from office for Bai Yutang, and returned to the empty island to do business.

"But, can you be sure that the landlord Qi mentioned at that time is this?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"I'm not sure, I'm just saying that someone's surname is Qi." Zhan Zhao suddenly laughed.

"Dead cat!" Bai Yutang realized that Zhan Zhao might have played him tricks, and stepped on his boots to return to the Tongtian League.

Zhan Zhao put away his token and followed closely.

Jiang Yin returned to calm, if he ignored the head exposed in the center of the lake.

"Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang..." The man said silently in his heart, and then disappeared like a fish.

........................

All the way back, Tang Yu and Yan Nanfei's room next to them was dark, and they had already gone to bed at this time.

Bai Yutang took the face towel from the rack, hurriedly dried the dripping hair ends, and prepared to change clothes.

"dong dong dong"

As soon as he took out his clothes, he heard a knock on the door.

Zhan Zhao put the washbasin on the table and went to open the door.

"Tang Hierarch?"

Outside the door is Tang Yu teasing grapes.

"Hey? Which servant girl splashed water on you?"

Tang Yu looked at Zhan Zhao's drenched body, couldn't help joking, walked in the door, and Bai Yutang just came out from the screen.

"Oh, I understand! You two won't go to play with couples, will you?" Just as the words finished, a stone hit from Zhan Zhao's side, smashing the porcelain cup in Tang Yu's hand with a bang.

"Just kidding, just kidding! Zhan Zhao, don't be so confused!" Tang Yu put away the frightened little snake, and waved his hand to signal the two to approach.

Bai Yutang hooked a bench and sat on Tang Yu's left, playing with his fingers, kicking the legs of the table with his toes.

"What's the matter?" Zhan Zhao asked with the door behind his back, put his hands to the doors on both sides, closed them tightly, and then sat down in front of Tang Yu.

"Look at this," Tang Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the sliced ​​grass from the old woman's medicine jar in his sleeve, and found that the grape was biting one side and would not let it go.

"Let go, Grape!" Tang Yu hurriedly pinched both sides of Grape's head, forcefully pulling the Lilygrass out of its mouth, but luckily he just bit it and didn't eat it.

"This is?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have never been involved in medicine, except for the honeysuckle and forsythia that Mr. Gongsun often plays with, they don't recognize anything else, they only know that they are medicine.

"Ginseng?" Bai Yutang poked the pill on the table with his middle finger. It was white and tender, a little smaller than a carrot, and felt the same as ginseng.

"Lianzhicao", Tang Yu deliberately rolled his eyes at Bai Yutang and said.

"So?" Zhan Zhao tapped the tabletop, telling Tang Yu not to be too tight-lipped.

"Do you know why Yu Yufei was poisoned and others couldn't find out?"

"Why?"

"He just ate it."

Tang Yu picked up the Lianzhi grass and shook it in front of the two of them, "This thing is generally not recorded in medical books. Does it have a specific effect? Appropriate amount can also detoxify, and at the same time, no abnormality can be seen when feeling the pulse."

"That is to say, that old Yu Yufei deliberately lied to us." Bai Yutang suddenly realized.

"There are tens of thousands of poisons in the world. Even if we know that he has been poisoned, weeds alone may not be able to figure out anything. Moreover, his poisoning can clear himself of suspicion." The received token is placed on the table.

"Huh?" Tang Yu took the token and checked it repeatedly.

"Know?" Bai Yutang said with a disgusted expression while lying on the table.

"Familiar, it seems that grandma said it, it's been too long and I can't remember it." After a long time, Tang Yu patted his head and spoke.

After finishing the business, Tang Yu didn't stay any longer, and went back to sleep next door after saying goodnight.

On the second day, Tang Yu hurriedly knocked on the door of Kaizhao's room again.

"Hurry up! Something happened to Yu Yufei!" Zhan Zhao said excitedly when he opened the door and saw Tang Yu, Yan Nanfei followed behind with a helpless expression on his face.

"........."

Once again, Zhan Zhao felt that Tang Yu was not as reliable as the rumors said, and it was as if Yan Nanfei cast a puzzled look.

Yan Nanfei cherished words like gold, and only said lightly, "Yu Yufei is dying soon."

"I can't do it anymore?" Zhan Zhao didn't react for a moment, and then he quickly thought of the two men in black and the black shadow who had fought with them last night.

Zhan Zhao told them to wait a while, and turned around to call Bai Yutang. When Bai Yutang came out, seeing Tang Yu's happy face, he thought that he had caught Yu Yufei's poisoning. After hearing Zhan Zhao's clarification, he said, "I guess after a while." Someone will notify you."

"I saw Yu Shaotian running towards the east with a few elders in the morning, so I followed to take a look." Yan Nanfei lowered his head.

Sure enough, two hours later, Butler Yu came running all the way, and when he entered the door, he was still holding his waist and panting heavily, with a sad expression on his face.

"What's wrong with Butler Yu?" Bai Yutang happened to sleep on the railing at the door, seeing him out of breath, he moved for Butler Qi a few times, and asked curiously.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Zhan here?"

"Is there something to do with Zhan?" Zhan Zhao got up to greet him and asked knowingly, probably guessing that it was Qi Yufei's business.

"Our lord, was poisoned by a traitor last night and couldn't be cured. He just returned home!"

"This……"

Zhan Zhao, Tang Yu and the four looked at each other.

"The young master is already writing an invitation letter, asking all the martial arts factions to come to mourn, and also the villain to come and invite Lord Zhan and the leader of Tang to go and track down the murderer for the leader!"

Zhan Zhao, as the court's fourth-rank guard with a sword, naturally couldn't refuse. Tang Yu's medical skills are superb, and he has always been good at detoxifying poison. It is reasonable for Yu Shaotian to invite him to go.

"Don't worry, Steward Yu, Hierarch Tang and I will go right away." After Zhan Zhao responded, he let Steward Qi go first, and they arrived later.

"It's weird." Bai Yutang walked back and forth by the door, "Since he knows that the leader of Tang is good at poisoning, why didn't he invite him over early in the morning, and he didn't say it until he was dead. Could it be that Yu Yufei was worried about something? Will you tell me?" If it wasn't for the man in black that he met last night, Bai Yutang would absolutely suspect that Yu Shaotian had acquired the poison.

"I want to see what kind of moth this Yu Shaotian is doing." Tang Yu shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand, and rubbed the little snake wrapped around his arm with his right hand.

"The storm is coming." Yan Nanfei looked at the weather outside and said.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that there was a tendency of heavy rain.

When a group of people left the courtyard, they saw white cloths hanging up around them, all the maids hurried past, and the whole Tongtian League was immersed in a depressed atmosphere.

From the beginning, Yu Shaotian asked Steward Yu not to touch Yu Yufei's body.

When Zhan Zhao came to Yu Yufei's bed, he was suddenly shocked by the corpse.

"Fuck!"

Tang Yu also exclaimed secretly, Bai Yutang turned his head away after taking a look, only Yan Nanfei remained expressionless.

Fortunately, his professionalism is still there. After Tang Yu exclaimed, he stepped forward and opened Yu Yufei's eyelids without hesitation. His eyes were cloudy, his whole body was black and stiff, and he usually withered overnight.This poison can be said to be extremely vicious.

"It's a poison from southern Yunnan," Tang Yu said after taking the handkerchief handed over by the maid to clean her hands.

"Master Zhan, please find out the real culprit for our lord!"

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Butler Qi knelt on the ground, the sound of his knee touching the ground, even Bai Yutang couldn't help touching his nose when he heard it.

"Steward Qi, please, Zhan came to Jiuhua originally for the Jinshui Town case, and now that leader Yu has been killed, we will not ignore it." Zhan Zhao supported Butler Qi with both hands.

"Tang will not stand idly by the murderer's poison in southern Yunnan." The Five Poisons believers never use drugs to kill people at will. Tang Yu has engraved this sentence in his heart from the first day he joined the sect.And if someone is found poisoning, and it is determined that the murder was malicious, they will also be taken to southern Yunnan for disposal.

"I also ask the old man to express my condolences. By the way, can Steward Qi tell you everything that happened in the morning?"

"Naturally," Butler Qi nodded, "The inner room is very stuffy. Since the Tang leader has already seen it, the villain will let the servants put the leader in the coffin first. Mr. Zhan and the young heroes wait in the hall first, so as not to Get busy and bump into everyone."

Zhan Zhao agreed, and the four left the room one after another.

"Yutang", Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang's waist when he was about to pass the gate.

"Ok?"

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, just pointed outside, Bai Yutang understood, turned a corner and went out.

"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Tang Yu approached Zhan Zhao.

"You'll know in a while, wait until the processing here is over."

Tang Yu also understood that Zhan Zhao was worried that there were too many people here, so he accidentally listened to him when he said it. Maybe it had something to do with Yu Yufei's death?

The death of the leader of the Tongtian League is related to the change of Jiuhua Wulin's power, and the time has come when it is close.The four elders and Yu Shaotian received guests in the front yard, while housekeeper Qi took care of all other matters.After Yu Yufei entered the coffin and carried it away, it was already afternoon.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time." Butler Yu walked over slowly with a cane.

Zhan Zhao put down the teacup in his hand, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Master Zhan, the thing is like this..." Butler Qi handed the crutches to the servants beside him, and told Zhan Zhao what happened from the morning to before Zhan Zhao and the others came.

After a cup of tea.

"That is to say, Yu Shaotian was still breathing when he found President Yu, so why didn't you come to me in the first place?" Tang Yu stared at Steward Yu, trying to see any flaws in his face.

"This..." At this point, Butler Yu sighed, "It's not that we won't come to you, and the leader won't let you!"

"No?" Bai Yutang became curious, "He doesn't even want his own life?"

"Hey, this..." Butler Yu wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed a few times, "At that time, I didn't understand the young master, but the leader held the young master tightly, and then let me go out. Soon after, the young master told our leader went."

"Ah!"

Tang Yu held his breath and had nowhere to release it. Firstly, he was poisoned by anger and was a disciple of the Five Poisons. If the person who died was an unknown junior, it would be fine. If he doesn't give an explanation to the leader of the Tongtian Alliance, he might be killed by those who claim to be the leader of the alliance. A person of righteous martial arts pokes the spine.

Secondly, because Yu Yufei was doing something tricky, he would die if he died, but Tang Yu lived in Tongtianmeng these days, so it really wouldn't make sense with ten mouths.

Butler Yu was also saddened by the behavior of leader Yu at that time. He had worked in the Tongtian League for decades and followed Yu Yufei all the time. He really didn't expect that it was just a disease at the beginning, and he went away like this!When the young master came out, he just asked him to go over to invite Zhan Zhao and Tang Yu. When Yu Shaotian left the yard, Steward Yu asked why he didn't let him invite Tang Yu over quietly. Yu Shaotian just bowed his head and didn't speak.
