Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

In the middle of the night, the thunder was even louder, and the strong wind passed through the hall, blowing up the weeds in the house, and the door panels kept shaking, hitting the wall, making a crackling sound.Zhan Zhao couldn't fall asleep at all, so he covered Bai Yutang with his clothes, touched his sleeping point, got up and walked to the door, in case the ruined temple couldn't survive the heavy rain tonight.

It often rains in summer, and this is the first and biggest game in the first half of the year.A lot of trees were broken outside the door, and under the lightning, it was clear that the official road had been blocked.

Zhan Zhao meditated at the door for the middle of the night. It wasn't until dawn that the rain gradually subsided, leaving only the sky full of dark clouds and the whistling wind blowing non-stop.Wuyun Taxue and Lvzi were very dissatisfied in the shed, when they saw Zhan Zhao, they stepped forward with their hooves and breathed non-stop.Bai Yutang packed the package, rubbed his mane, and got on the horse first. The two followed the official road and prepared to enter the city.

"The rain has stopped, Master Bao and the others must be busy for a while."

After walking a short distance, I was blocked by several arm-thin tree trunks.The two of them got off their horses a few times and tried their best to clean up all the broken branches aside.After listening, there seemed to be someone behind. Zhan Zhao turned around and saw that it was a man under fifteen.

"Two righteous men," the man looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang seeing him, his face slightly embarrassed, he raised his arms and bowed.

"But something?"

Seeing that he seemed unable to speak, Zhan Zhao stepped forward to ask after washing his hands in the stagnant water by the side of the road.

"Yes! That's right. My master was about to go to Kaifeng, and because the official road along the way was blocked by trees, he took a small road. Who knew that the carriage got stuck in the quagmire. The villain has been waiting here for a long time and no one passed by. The two seem to be martial arts practitioners, so I don't know if you can help my master pull out the wheel. Thank you very much!"

The man hurriedly said that he was afraid of being rejected by Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who waited so hard to come.

"Yutang, what do you think?"

Zhan Zhao didn't care, he was afraid that Bai Yutang would not want to cause trouble, so he didn't agree immediately, but asked for his opinion.

"Then go."

They couldn't get back to Kaifeng for an hour and a half. The two led the horse and followed the servant, passing through the dense forest. Gradually, they could see a flat area in front of them. In the mud, there was a person standing beside the car, presumably it was the old man.

"Be careful here, you two, if you don't pay attention, your feet will be covered with mud." The servant reminded in front, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang put Wuyun Taxue and Luzi aside, and went alone.The three of them stepped on the stones and crossed the dirt road before reaching the side of the carriage.

"Master, someone is here!" The servant trotted around and whispered to the man.The man nodded slightly, walked quickly to Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, and said, "Thank you two righteous men! Go downstairs and clear..."

"You don't need to say thank you, it's better to take a look at the carriage first."

Zhan Zhao was most afraid that the book would become a long story, so he reached out to help Fu Louqing's arm, signaling him to get down to business first.Lou Qing raised his hand when he heard the words, and made a "please" gesture to Zhan Zhao with a smile on his face, like a handsome and unrestrained husband, Zhan Zhao was surprised, but not by his appearance.

"Dead cat."

Bai Yutang watched from the back as the two had a happy conversation, the dead cat obviously froze when it saw Lou Qing, couldn't help but move its calf, and kicked Zhan Zhao's heel.Zhan Zhao only felt the pain like a thin needle, and then realized that his movements were too obvious.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhan was rude. Mr. Lou just watched from the sidelines. Yutang and I will check it out."

Lou Qing and his servants saw that they were useless, and he had some matters to discuss with Bai Yutang, so they asked them to rest on the stone platform not far away for a while.

"Yutang, hey, I just didn't..."

Zhan Zhao transmitted his voice into secret, hooked his fingers around Bai Yutang's back belt, and the two of them stood one in front and the other in the back. The one in front walked to the right side of the carriage with his hands crossed expressionlessly, and the one in the back followed him to the wheel with a smile on his face.

"People in the Jianghu say that Nan Xia doesn't like beauty, according to Fifth Master, it's not that he doesn't like it, but that he doesn't like it, right?" Bai Yutang smiled and squatted beside the wheel to check.

"Fifth brother is wrong. Zhan has been shocked by Pan's family since then, and has never seen any beauty since then."

"Hey? You don't need to say these things. Nan Xia will marry a wife and have children one day. Don't you dare to say that in front of your future wife? I'm afraid Bai's face will be scratched."

Bai Yutang was unexpectedly aggressive today, even he himself didn't understand why he was suddenly angry, it seemed that the emotions accumulated for a long time erupted suddenly and urgently needed an outlet, and Zhan Zhao at this time was just a punching bag.

"not me………"

Zhan Zhao choked, I paid half the salary and I don't know why, seeing Bai Yutang was about to lift the wheel and hurried to help, but before his hands could touch the wheel, Bai Yutang beat him down, and said, "Help me tie my hair and tie my eyes pain."

"I just... feel that the man who called himself Lou Qing just now is very similar to the man who killed someone in my previous dream, but I can't be sure."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then brushed back Bai Yutang's mo hair scattered on both sides, and spoke softly behind him.

"Okay." Bai Yutang clapped his hands, because he wanted to lose face and told Zhan Zhao that he was thinking wrong, so he had to jump up and signal that the wheel had been pulled out of the mud.

Seeing this, the servants in the distance walked quickly with Lou Qing.

"Thank you both! I just heard that the martyr's surname is Zhan?" Lou Qingsheng's features were pretty, and he spoke in a gentle manner. Zhan Zhao compared him with the scholar in the dream at that time. They were almost alike in appearance, but had a great temperament. It is not the same, and it is impossible to determine whether the two are the same person for a while.

"Exactly." Zhan Zhao replied.

"Isn't that the Master Yumao Zhan who was personally sealed by the official?!" The servant clenched his fists in the direction of Kaifeng, his tone full of excitement.

"Don't be rude! The servant is young, Master Wan Wangzhan, please forgive me!" Lou Qing raised his hand, with a serious expression on his face, and asked the servant to step aside, lifted his robe and prepared to kneel down.

"Yes!" The servant realized later that he had said the wrong thing. The person in front of him was a fourth-rank official, and the title of Royal Cat should be mentioned behind his back.And the person behind him is probably the famous Chinchilla Bai Yutang. It is said that the royal cat Chinchilla has been in and out of the same place in recent years, and they are as close as brothers. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"No need to be too polite!" Zhan Zhao stepped forward, "Aren't the two accents from Kaifeng?"

Zhan Zhao is not a narrow-minded person. At first, when people saw him as Yumao, he was worried that Bai Yutang would not like him, so he turned his face against others. Later, Bai Yutang always called him "maomaomao", so he acquiesced that other people called him "maomao" directly. He is a cat.

"That's right, I came here from the south of the Yangtze River. Who knew that it was raining heavily. This time, I would like to thank Mr. Zhan and this righteous man. If I guess correctly, the righteous man is Chinchilla Bai Yutang?" Although Lou Qing came from Jiangnan, his accent It sounds north.

"Exactly." Bai Yutang bowed to him, and instantly guessed what Zhan Zhao was thinking.

The murderer in Zhan Zhao’s dream was from the south. When he was carrying the wheel before, the cat said that this person looked the same as the one in the dream, and after confirming that he was from the south, could it be possible that the two of them got shit luck and directly targeted the murderer? guilty?

Lou Qing asked about Zhan Zhao's itinerary and planned to invite them to Kaifeng together.Zhan Zhao said that they need to return to Kaifeng Mansion before sunset today.Lou Qing also agreed that if they meet each other by fate in the future, they will have a banquet and part ways.

Zhan Bai returned to officialdom, but because of the embarrassment of the episode just now, Bai Yutang secretly despised himself for not daring to speak out, but to blame that stupid cat, and in the end he was still angry.It's not all that Zhan Zhao doesn't understand, but if Bai Yutang doesn't make it clear, maybe the two of them can live like this for the rest of their lives.

Ever since, the two were waiting for something to happen to the other.

"Yutang, there may be a new wine in Jiuxian Tower."

Zhan Zhao's mouth is rather stupid, compared to Bai Yutang.After looking at the white back in front for a long time, he pulled the reins and let Lvzi catch up with the dark clouds and ride the snow. The two horses walked side by side on the side of the road, swaying forward along the official road.Bai Yutang didn't answer, his eyes were on the intersection, and he didn't give Zhan Zhao the slightest look. In fact, he was thinking about how to speak in his heart, and then he didn't hear what Zhan Zhao said clearly.

"…………"

Zhan Zhao thought that Bai Yutang was still annoyed, so after walking for a while, he suddenly asked Lvzi to slow down, one horse behind Bai Yutang, took out a piece of pale yellow paper the size of a palm from his arms, and slowly folded it .

"Dead cat! Can you go away!"

Seeing that Zhan Zhao suddenly fell behind, Bai Yutang didn't know what he was doing slowly, so he couldn't help asking loudly, but Zhan Zhao didn't respond.

"Hey... aren't you angry that I misunderstood him just now?" Bai Yutang thought about it, patted the horse's back to let Wu Yun ride back on snow.As soon as he turned around, he saw a blue-shirted arm coming in, and then lowered his eyes, there was a paper-stacked mouse standing on top of the cat's head lying in his hand, and Zhan Zhao had dotted his eyes and whiskers with something.

Bai Yutang picked up the two origami papers and put them in his backpack, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up. The two had different ideas, but resolved them miraculously.

Then thinking about Lou Qing, Bai Yutang asked: "Is that person really the scholar who murdered and hid the corpse in your dream?"

"I can't say for sure, there are nine out of ten chances." Zhan Zhao has followed Mr. Bao for many years, and has developed the habit of looking at evidence for everything.

"The appearance matches, the place of origin matches, and the time also matches what Liu Fuyan said. In my opinion, he is right!"

Bai Yutang thought of what Zhan Zhao had told him back then, that the man in Tsing Yi Liu Fuyan in the dream had said, "I met a scholar in the first ten days of July", and calculated, it must be this time.

The two discussed again, and now they have locked the person, and after they go back to Kaifeng Mansion to check Lou Qing's resume, everything will come to light.

"Treading Snow, let's go!" Bai Yutang patted the horse's back lightly, Wu Yun Treading Snow stepped on his front hooves, neighed and started to run, Zhan Zhao also said, "Luzi, catch up."

On the spacious official road, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and the two figures walked away against the cold wind and drizzle.
