Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

Chapter 8 The Golden Water Poison Murder Case 8

As the name suggests, the VIP building looks like it is surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, and there are people coming and going, all young and old in gold and silver.The waiter at the door saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, one in blue and one in white, and hurriedly greeted them and asked, "But Master Zhan and Master Bai?"

Bai Yutang smiled, "No."

"Eh..." Xiao Er was stunned, could it be that he had mistaken the person?

"We are. My friend is naughty, so don't worry about it." Zhan Zhao touched Bai Yutang with his cane, and followed Xiaoer upstairs.

"Master Zhifu set up a table in the Peony Hall on the second floor, so that if we see two handsome young men with swords in their hands, please come up. I have worked in this VIP building for several years, and it was the first time I saw the two gentlemen. Such a good-looking person." Xiaoer knew him very well, and seeing that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were the ones that even the magistrate would fawn on, he couldn't help but kind words came out of his mouth like he didn't want money.

"Let me tell you, it's better to praise me than to praise him. This master Zhan is not smooth-headed. If you talk dry, you won't earn a copper coin." Bai Yutang put it on Zhan Zhao's shoulder, seeing him From entering the door to going upstairs, Xiaoer was talking to himself all the way, and Zhan Zhao couldn't help joking.

"My fault, my fault! The yamen is doing business, that's what Mr. Zhan is supposed to do!" The waiter was clever, and upon hearing Bai Yutang's words, he slapped his head and boasted.

"Your reward, I will walk with Master Zhan for the rest of the journey." Bai Yutang took out a piece of silver and threw it to Xiao Er.

"Thank you, Master Bai, Mr. Zhan, and the villain will leave first!" Xiao Er immediately stuffed the money into his chest, and quickly looked around to see if anyone saw him, then went downstairs.

Zhan Zhao took a glance at Bai Yutang's music there, and then asked, "Why is Master Bai laughing?"

Bai Yutang tilted his head, and leaned closer to Zhan Zhao's ear: "I remember Master Bao once asked you to go to the brothel to check out a musician, and you did the same hahaha."

"Oh." Zhan Zhao expressionless, slowly pushed his big face away with his hands, and pushed open the door of the Peony Hall.

"Master Zhan! Young Hero Bai!"

The magistrate was sitting at the first place, and saw the two of them coming in at the first sight.Next to him was Mr. Lou, and a few others who had never seen him before. They seemed to be rich merchants from Xiangzhou.

"Master Zhan, Young Hero Bai, this way!"

Master Lou led the two to the seat next to the magistrate, and introduced to Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, this is a well-known merchant in Xiangzhou. Yesterday I heard that Mr. Zhan is coming, and I want to have a look at Mr. Zhan's demeanor!"

"Hey, those who don't know think they are watching monkeys." Bai Yutang leaned on the chair and covered his mouth with his hands and said to Zhan Zhao in a low voice, but Master Lou and the merchants just happened to hear clearly.

"Ha, Young Master Bai speak quickly! Talk quickly!"

Master Lou hurriedly shouted "haha" to save the embarrassing atmosphere.Those merchants were usually offered by others, and their faces were a little unhappy when they saw this, but the magistrate was present, and Zhan Zhao was the celebrity in front of Mr. Bao, so it was not easy to get angry with Bai Yutang.

"Yes yes yes, let's not talk about other things today, Bai Shaoxia is a romantic figure, we are just ordinary people, come and drink!"

The magistrate raised his wine glass and saluted Bai Yutang.Bai Yutang also just pretended that he didn't say what he said before, and drank it with a smile, anyway, it wasn't him and Zhan Zhao who were in conflict with each other.

"It's no fun just drinking like this, my lord, Cao Min called a few singers before, and they can play the pipa well, why don't you let them in?" A well-behaved wealthy businessman said.

"Very good, very good! Mr. Zhan and Young Master Bai have worked hard on the case, why don't you listen to our little song from Xiangzhou to relax." The magistrate rolled his eyes and questioned Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao has always been able to push back on this kind of dinner, the magistrate said he was singing a ditty, and he only thought it was a ditty, so he nodded in agreement.

Master Lou ran to the door and clapped his hands three times. Not long after, a woman holding a pipa and four or five women wearing tulle came in.

"Mao'er, this prefect is trying to let these women catch you first." Bai Yutang whispered to Zhan Zhao.

"It's not like you don't know, I've never been close to women." Zhan Zhao replied.

"I know the magistrate doesn't know, look, there must be something added to this wine." Bai Yutang shook the wine glass in his hand, although there was nothing unusual about his own glass, and Zhan Zhao's glass was colorless and tasteless, but when the master filled the wine, he didn't Gao Ming, the turning of the mandarin duck pot is too obvious.

Sure enough, what Bai Yutang said was correct, those women were specially arranged beside Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.Because Bai Yutang was not within the scope of the magistrate's calculations, after he said he didn't like women, the magistrate didn't make any trouble, and waved his hand to let the woman serve others.Zhan Zhao's side is particularly embarrassed, he has always judged whether a man and a woman will marry each other, and this woman was warned by the magistrate before, now he can't wait to use all kinds of skills on Zhan Zhao, making Zhan Zhao blush, Repeatedly flirting with Bai Yutang for help.

"Lord Zhifu, since Lord Zhan doesn't want a woman to serve you, then let's get rid of it." Bai Yutang saw that Zhan Zhao was really entangled, so he stopped him, and pulled the woman's hand from Zhan Zhao's neck.

"Okay." Seeing that Zhan Zhao had already drank several glasses of wine, the magistrate let the two of them leave in peace.

At night, in Zhan Zhao's room.

"This dog, what did you put in it!"

In the room, Bai Yutang was lying on the bed cursing, his coat had already been changed by Zhan Zhao.

"You know there's something in the wine, why do you still taste it?" Zhan Zhao washed his handkerchief beside him.During the dinner at night, Bai Yutang actually claimed that everyone was not paying attention, and changed the cup with Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao didn't expect that he would taste it by himself.

"Take it as a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions! I'll change the wine for you, but you still scold me!" Bai Yutang turned over and groaned.

"I...forget about my mistake, I'll shut up. Get up," Zhan Zhao raised his hand to hold Bai Yutang's rolling body, "I added the medicine Mr. Gongsun made into the water. I don't know if it will help. Anyway, you should try it first." Try." He covered Bai Yutang's face with his handkerchief, thinking that the assassin was here to seek money and kill him.

"Hmm..." Bai Yutang rolled his eyes and remained still.

"Okay." After about a quarter of an hour, after changing the handkerchief a dozen times, Bai Yutang's medicine finally dissipated.

"Dog, I will make Master Bai look good when he leaves." Bai Yutang heaved a sigh of relief, and rolled into Zhan Zhao's bed.

"I'll also help you to read Master Bao a copy." Zhan Zhao took off his clothes and put them on the shelf.When he and Bai Yutang went out, they often slept together, so sharing the same bed was also a habit.

"Click"

Just as he was falling asleep, a voice came in. Zhan Zhao opened his eyes, and moved them to the door. When the door opened a crack, his hand had already touched the big door next to the pillow.Bai Yutang also woke up, but the inner bed couldn't see the door clearly, so he asked Zhan Zhao what happened with a wink.Zhan Zhao shook his head at him, gestured for him not to move, and was ready to fight on his side.
