Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

When Bai Yutang entered the wine kiln, he didn't want to move around like a mouse falling into a rice vat. Most of the Kaifeng mansion's hiding was the good wine sent by the government and the two people's daily deposits.The ground is warm and cool, unlike the hot outside, Bai Yutang leaned crookedly on the ground after dismantling the altar,? Planning to wait until night before going back to the room? His own wife is here, and Zhan Zhao didn't bother to move.

"Cat,? I think you are getting lazy."

Bai Yutang leaned over quietly, put his arms around Zhan Zhao's shoulders, tilted the wine jug slightly in his hand, spilled the wine on the hem of the two people's clothes, one white and one red, and there was a faint smell of wine mixed with the smell of pear blossoms. It sprinkled on the tip of Zhan Zhao's nose, but it didn't smell as bad as an ordinary drunk.Zhan Zhao couldn't refute, so depressed he lowered his head and didn't answer him.

"Come here, take a sip, let's go back to sleep after drinking...well, sleep..."

The more Bai Yutang spoke, the more confused his voice became. He put all his weight behind Zhan Zhao's back, and listened to Zhan Zhao's ears. He was itchy, and couldn't help thinking about the indulgence that night.Just about to help him up, he suddenly straightened up, picked up the wine jug on his lap, maybe he was a little drunk, didn't look at his nose or mouth, and went straight to Zhan Zhao's face, Mouth still kept chanting.

"Yutang...Yutang?" Zhan Zhao narrowly dodged back, didn't even respond to calling out to the other party a few times, and was about to snatch the wine jar from him, but saw Bai Yutang's arms shrink back, holding the wine in his arms Li looked at Zhan Zhao with half-closed eyes, and said a little unhappy, "Why don't you drink?"

Zhan Zhao: ...Hmmm?

"Fifth Master drinks it himself!"

After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he raised the wine jar high up, and with his eyes closed, he thumped it all to the ground, with a look of naturalness on his face.The wine flowed all the way into the shelf next to it. Fortunately, the floor was covered with bricks, and there was not much dust, so the two of them kept their clothes.Later, after he finished pouring, he let go of his fingers, Zhan Zhao moved his thigh, and caught it firmly. The jar with big hands rolled along the official uniform to his chest, and was placed beside him casually.

"What exactly did you drink?" Zhan Zhao picked up the Bai Yutang that was about to fall, and took over the empty jars one by one to check.Two jars of white pear blossoms, and one jar of sorghum wine?Take a closer look at the date. It's been 19 years. It's definitely not the two of them who put it in.Bai Yutang sat by the side with an innocent face, Zhan Zhao raised his forehead, it seemed that he was going to go outside tomorrow to buy a new jar and put it in again.

The two lingered out of the wine cellar, fortunately, Bai Yutang's wine was good, except for staring at the front with cold eyes, looking like someone owed him [-] million, they didn't make a fuss at all. He rubbed his nose, and rubbed his face again. Seeing that there was no response, he continued to raise and lower his hands.

Chao Mahan and his party returned after the sun went down, but they returned empty-handed. Not to mention that no one was brought back, even several officials were injured all over their bodies. With a jump, he quickly notified Mr. Bao.Mr. Gongsun was busy examining the wounds and dispensing medicine after the examination of the bones, and waited until Xingheman finished cleaning up.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took advantage of the moonlight to walk back to the courtyard. During the day, the child had not woken up from sleeping until now, and He Lian kept shaking her fan and sat beside her to keep watch.Ren Xingluo was playing with a knife in the yard, and after a few moves, he saw Bai Yutang walking in like a ghost, his body straight and air-conditioned, and beside him was Zhan Zhao with a helpless face.

"Uncle Baibaibai!" Ren Xing stood up vigorously, and quietly leaned aside, avoiding Bai Yutang's infiltrating sight, and kept thinking that he hadn't seen him for a long time, why Uncle Bai was so fierce.

"Xing Xiao, help me go to the kitchen and bring me a bowl of hangover soup." Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang into the room, his mind was all on him, and he didn't notice the indescribable sight of his apprentice.

When he got to the room, Bai Yutang lay straight on the bed, Zhan Zhao took off his coat resignedly, and washed him with water like an old woman. After a while, he was already sweating profusely. Then he looked at the man on the bed , I slept with my head on the pillow and a book, so uneasy.

A night without dreams.

The next day, Bai Yutang woke up earlier than anyone else, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar roof, which was his room.It may be that the hangover soup made by the lady in the kitchen is so good, I don’t feel a hangover at all, and I feel very refreshed.

"Cats? Cats..." Zhan Zhao lay beside him, with his well-groomed hands outside the quilt, Bai Yutang stretched out his arm to scratch his Adam's apple, Zhan Zhao's eyes moved slightly, he grabbed Bai Yutang's fingers and Pressing down on the bed board, he apologized and let go after opening his eyes.

"Did you rub my face yesterday?" Bai Yutang stretched his lower limbs, straightened his upper body, and supported the pillow with his arms.He vaguely remembered yesterday that after Zhan Zhao helped him out of the wine cellar, he rubbed his face while waiting for the gatekeeper to come back.

"No, how could I be so boring." Zhan Zhao shook his head, saying "I don't have it, don't talk nonsense" all over his face, while opening a corner of the curtain to look out, it was already light.

"?"

Bai Yutang brushed back his messy hair, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, watched the cat put on his official uniform, combed his hair, and took bamboo branches from the low table to prop open the window above the slump. I, could it be that I dreamed last night that Zhan Zhao was rubbing his face and still smiling happily?

Not long after the two got up, they saw the little book boy beside Mr. Gongsun running over, with an anxious expression on his face.Whenever he saw this expression, Bai Yutang guessed that something was wrong, and sure enough, before he even asked, the book boy said, "Master Zhan! Master Bao, please go to the study!"

When Zhan Zhao stepped into the study room, he felt like a storm was coming.Continuing to walk in, Wang Chao and Ma Han were standing beside them like a pillar, with their heads lowered, without saying a word.Further in, Master Bao sat on top with an angry face, the corners of his mouth were pursed, his eyes were burning with anger, Bai Yutang looked at it, his face seemed to be getting darker.

When Mr. Gongsun saw the two people coming, he nodded to them, and then put his index finger to his mouth, signaling not to disturb them.Seeing that, Zhan Zhao exchanged a glance with Bai Yutang, and quietly sat down on the chair.

Mr. Bao has always been kind to others, and he never gets angry easily. It is probably not a trivial matter that can make him so angry.

Sure enough, within a short while, Bai Yutang was pulling his fingernails, when he heard the person above say: "Chao Mahan, please explain in detail."

"Yes." The two responded.

"Master Zhan, Shaoxia Bai, Ma Han and I went to the Yuelai Inn yesterday, who knows, there is a woman beside Lou Qing......"

Zhan Zhao observed Wang Chao's expression, there was something unspeakable in his words, Ma Han was even worse, his face was swollen, as if someone had punched him.

"What's the matter with you? Could it be that Lou Qing is fighting with you?" Bai Yutang put the teacup on the table, and tilted his head to look at the bluish patch on his face, the size of a palm, which was just printed on the corner of his mouth. Wound.

"He doesn't have that strength!" Hearing that Bai Yutang was coming to this point, Wang Chao was even more indignant, and said with disdain, "The woman next to Lou Qing is actually the princess. After we explained our intentions, the princess didn't agree Let’s not arrest people, but send someone over to beat up the official. Ma Han didn’t hold back, and directly fought with someone, and that’s how it ended.”

"This... the princess doesn't know how to prevent Mr. Bao from investigating the case, even the royal family can't escape the responsibility?"

"This is the main reason why Your Excellency is angry today," Mr. Gongsun sighed, got up from his chair, and said with his hands behind his back, "This morning, Your Excellency wanted to send someone to arrest Lou Qing again, but on the way to court, he was caught by that The princess led people to stop the sedan chair, and cursed loudly in front of the people in the imperial street, and said that even if Lou Qingzhen killed someone and hid the corpse, she would have protected her."

"Could it be that there is a maid who is a head shorter and thinner beside her?" Zhan Zhao raised his eyes and asked, thinking of the woman he met a few days ago when he went on an appointment.

"That's not true! Master Zhan knows!" Wang Chao said a few steps forward.

"So it's her, confused." Bai Yutang rubbed his chin and sighed.The princess looked shrewd at the beginning, why is she so brainless, and said in full view that if she is guilty, she can be saved, but if she is innocent, she will be killed. "It won't take long for Kaifeng to spread the word Murder, and the rumors that the imperial family princess insisted on suppressing the rumors in disregard of the laws and regulations will not make it to the ears of the officials, so they will be executed directly."

Chao Mahan repeatedly nodded in agreement.Really, what do people hate the most?Relying on his own official position and power, he is a commoner like a worthless person.In addition, Mr. Bao is the Qingtian praised by everyone, if the princess dares to do something like this, I'm afraid it's not helping Lou Qing, but hurting him.However, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion is happy to see the success.

"Let me just say it, you didn't believe it at the time." Bai Yu propped his arms on the table, and said to Zhan Zhao through voice transmission, with a look on his face that I knew.

"How does Guard Zhan know the princess?" Mr. Gongsun was curious.

"It's a long story..." Zhan Zhao sternly explained to Mr. Bao one by one about saving the princess on the street that day.

"So that's how it is," Master Bao nodded slightly after hearing Zhan Zhao's words, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Mr. Gongsun and I mean that we want you and Young Master Bai to arrest Lou Qing again, but if the princess It’s still there, and don’t touch anyone head-on.”

The two of them promised that they were afraid that the night would be long and dreamy. Since Lou Qing knew that the Kaifeng mansion had sent someone, he was afraid that he would ask the princess to help him escape, so he left the study and took more than ten years of officials to the Yuelai Inn. The inn experienced yesterday. Chao Mahan and the others made their preparations early on. Before the two could ask, they took the initiative to bow down, "Master Zhan is looking for Lou Qing? He has already left with a woman!"

"Leaving?" Bai Yutang frowned, the woman must be the princess, and asked Xiao Er: "Where did they go?" There are several unmarried princesses in Kaifeng who usually live in boudoirs. The southeast, the north, and the west are all occupied, and I searched rashly, but I don't know which one it is. When they both came out, they forgot to ask Mr. Bao.
