Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

Zhan Zhao had heard of Tang Yu more than once.The Gong Ziyu mentioned by Bai Yutang was an important sect in the martial arts in the past - the dragon head of the Qinglonghui. Later, because of Gong Ziyu's cruel tactics during his tenure, people from all walks of life rose up against him. The rain shut the floodgates.

Neither Bai Yutang nor Zhan Zhao participated in that battle, so the specific situation is unknown.

But after hearing that Gong Ziyu had died, Lan Zheng also returned to southern Yunnan, and hadn't appeared in the Central Plains for a long time.

"Then this matter may trouble you again." Zhan Zhao said.

"Cat, what are we talking about between the two of us?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows.

When the two found the entrance of the cave, the top of the mountain was completely darkened. Fortunately, the medicine sprinkled when entering the mountain worked.Mosquitoes avoid them all.

"I'm going to find firewood, you look at the luggage."

Zhan Zhao put the package on a pile of dry straw, knowing that Bai Yutang hated his clothes getting messy and dusty, so he carried the huge que and walked up to the place where there were many fallen branches.

The hunters who come and go here are all brave men with high skills. Usually several people go up the mountain together, and all the branches that are easy to catch fire below are picked up.

The forest at night was extremely quiet, Bai Yutang was sitting cross-legged, and the sound of animals running past could be heard from time to time.

After about a quarter of an hour, I heard footsteps getting closer.

"Cat... you... who?!"

Bai Yutang opened his eyes, thinking it was Zhan Zhao returning, but saw two men in black in front of him.

"go!"

The two didn't expect that there were people in this barren mountain and wild place. After looking at each other, they stepped back and prepared to leave.

"Wait! Why are you running when you see Grandpa Bai!"

Bai Yutang originally didn't intend to trouble these two people, but it was a bit too suspicious. Even if they met in the wild, most people would not run away without saying a word.

Seeing Bai Yutang get up, the two hurriedly stepped forward to fly to the distant trees.

"Want to compete with your grandpa Bai?"

Bai Yutang hooked his toes, kicked Zhanlu up, and chased the two up the tree a few times.

With a "whoosh", a dart was shot from the cuff, hitting the shoulders and arms of the two men.

"Fifth Bai!" One of the men in black covered his wound and said, "You and I have never had any grudges in the past, so why chase after our two brothers?"

"I don't know if there is any hatred, but if you run away when you see me, I'm afraid you are also a big treacherous and evil person. Quickly tell the name to let the Lord listen, maybe it will disturb your life."

The corner of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched, he jumped off the tree, and walked in front of the two of them. Zhan Lu unsheathed and put it on the neck of the man in black with his shoulder injured.

"I..." The man was about to speak when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, "You..." The man in black opened his eyes wide and looked at his companion in disbelief.

"Master Bai, there will be no future!"

Another man in black had already quietly run behind the tree when Bai Yutang pointed his sword at the dead one.

Bai Yutang flipped his wrist, and several hidden weapons were thrown out, but unfortunately the moonlight was too dark to hit the fatal point.When he was about to chase again, he thought that the left and right sides had nothing to do with him, and that the cat might have come back. Besides, he didn't know if the man had other companions. It might be dangerous to go there hastily, so it's better to discuss it with Zhan Zhao.

Thinking up to this point, Bai Yutang wiped the blade of the sword a few times, searched through the body of the dead man in black, and when he found nothing, he prepared to go back home.

The flames at the entrance of the cave could be seen from a distance, and Zhan Zhao had indeed returned, seeing Bai Yutang walking back from the entrance of the cave with a sword in hand, he asked, "Where are you going?"

Bai Yutang put down his sword, leaned on the haystack, and said, "Not long after you left, who knows, I sat cross-legged for a while and met two men in black. When they saw me, they ran away. I caught up with him when I felt something strange, here, one died outside, and the other ran away."

Zhan Zhao turned the roasted rabbit in his hand while listening, "The man in black? Could it be related to Jinshui Town?"

"It's hard to say, maybe I happened to meet him while doing something else, but it must be some kind of crooked running dog, otherwise he wouldn't have seen me and ran away. And when I asked who that person was, he didn't say anything, just Beaten to death by his companions." Speaking of this, Bai Yutang couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "These people take human life as human life at every turn."

Zhan Zhao tore off a roasted rabbit leg and handed it to Bai Yutang, "I'm too sensitive. It's just that there are too many people who sacrificed their lives for money and power. It's always been like this in officialdom and martial arts."

"Then why do you still follow Master Bao?" Bai Yutang always took it as his duty to convince Zhan Zhao to help him, but Zhan Zhao ignored him.

"Bai Yutang, what is a hero?" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang who was gnawing on a rabbit's leg, but did not answer directly.

"A great chivalrous man serves the country and the people?" Zhan Zhao said this when he answered Bai Yutang for the first time.

"Since you remember what I said, why can't you understand why I followed Lord Bao?"

The rabbit meat in my hand was gradually roasted, and it gave off a burst of fragrance as the fat dripped onto the fire.Bai Yutang didn't continue to question, and after the roasted rabbit was finished eating, the two of them covered the hole, rinsed their mouths and went to sleep.

A night without dreams.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. I started the journey before dawn. Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound. It was already the next day when I reached the foot of the mountain.Zhan Zhao and his entourage came in a hurry, and when they set off, Mr. Bao had already sent a message to the prefect of Xiangzhou with a carrier pigeon.

When the two of them got off Langhu Mountain, they saw several officials waiting with their horses at the open-air station.

"But Lord Zhan Zhaozhan and Young Master Bai?"

Seeing Zhan Zhao and the two of them, the leader rushed forward to interrogate them.

"It's Zhan." Zhan Zhao returned the salute with his sword in his arms.

"The magistrate sent me to wait here after receiving Master Bao's letter. Lord Zhan and Young Master Bai followed us to the ferry, then boarded a boat and took the waterway to Xiangzhou. After resting, we went to Jinshui Town with the Lord."

"But, I'm sorry to bother you, brother."

"Master Zhan, you don't need to be too polite. My surname is Liu, and I work as a policeman in the Yamen. You can call me Detective Liu if you don't mind."

Detective Liu was a bit of a quack, and didn't talk too much about it.

Although the horses brought by the officials were not as good as Wuyun Taxue and Lvzi, they still allowed them to successfully board the ship an hour later.

"Has there been any new discoveries from the prefect?"

A group of people gathered around the round table in the boat, and Zhan Zhao wanted to ask more information.

"Well, I'm ashamed to say that. The magistrate has found several assistants, but he didn't think what kind of medicine the thief had administered." Detective Liu quickly lowered his eyes, with some embarrassment mixed in his words.

"It's okay."

Since it was previously suspected that it was done by people from the Jianghu, it would definitely not be possible to find out the work of ordinary officials.

"Mao'er, most of the poisons used in martial arts are secret recipes, you have to be prepared." Bai Yutang said.

Going out, the rat poison commonly used by ordinary people, the crane crown red in the palace.Often the most frightening thing is the various secret medicines developed by aristocratic families.
