The night was dark, with thick dark clouds blocking the light of the moon, like a black veil covering the whole city for mourning.

"Strange, did Chef Cai fall asleep so early?"

Hiding in the outskirts of the city until late at night, Ze Yufang and Chong Yun disappeared and sneaked into the city without a sound.

The Cai family and his son lived in a green brick house in the alley next to Wenxiang Building. Compared with the series of wooden houses next to it, it can be regarded as the family of a small rich.

There is not a trace of candlelight in this blue brick house, as if it is integrated with the long black night, revealing an abnormal emptiness.

"The smell of blood."

Chongyun followed Zeyu silently all this time, suddenly spread his wings, and flew to the wall with a "teng", his four eyes instantly lit up with fluorescent blue light.

"It's so thick, I can smell it too."

Zeyu walked lightly to the wall, and the increasingly strong smell of blood made him sick to his stomach. Could it be that Chef Cai is still doing murder and robbing in private?

"There is no breath of life in the house."

Seeing that Zeyu leaped and jumped over the wall in a blink of an eye, Chongyun reminded him, and landed at the man's feet silently, with his wings slightly spread, ready to fight.

"Don't worry, I have the feather duster you gave me... the magic weapon, even ghosts can't get close to it, and I won't faint."

Seeing that Chongyun's expression was wrong, Zeyu quickly changed his words. Unfortunately, he really couldn't think of a more suitable name than feather duster.

A gust of bone-chilling evening wind passed by, and the wooden door blew open with a "squeak", and the air was filled with blood.

"Is this a monster? Or a ghost?"

Before Zeyu recovered from the tragedy, Chongyun suddenly raised his head, stared at a black fluff gently floating out of the room, and said in a deep voice:

"Not far, chase after!"

"Why is there no shadow?"

Following the smell of strange monsters, one person and one bird ran from the city to the outskirts of the city. Zeyu climbed up a tree, looked into the distance, and turned to ask Chongyun beside him.

"Probably sensed my aura, and ran away without even having time to clean up."

Chong Yun lowered his head and couldn't help regretting: he should have hidden the spiritual power of the two of them earlier.

"I don't understand. It's weird that Chef Cai recovered, but yesterday he was indeed a mortal."

Yesterday in the Ning Mansion, Zeyu secretly observed repeatedly. Chef Cai's face was rosy, and the yang energy in his body increased inexplicably, and he was not affected by the backlash at all.

"Before monsters start eating, they have to fatten people up. It may be that the taste of illness is not good."

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Chongyun came back to his senses, and the bird's beak tugged at the corner of Zeyu's clothes, not without worry:

"Anyway, if Chef Cai is dead, won't Xie Zeyu's reputation be restored?"

"Oh, this, it's okay, the problem will probably be resolved in a short time."

Although it is wrong to gloat over others' misfortunes, Zeyu took advantage of Chef Cai's death.

It's a pity that it's not as good as the sky, Zeyu didn't wake up the next day, and the rebuilt wooden house was about to be shaken apart by people taking pictures.

"Is Xie Zeyu here?"

Rubbing his sleepy face, Zeyu quietly opened the window to have a look, and immediately froze:

There are four or five officials outside the house, and all of them have bad faces. Could it be that they are here to arrest people?

"Are you going to run again?"

With yesterday's experience, Chong Yun has long been accustomed to being picked on by people, and he pushes open the window at the back of the house with a flap of his wings.

"W-wait, the people outside seem to be people from the Yamen. In the mortal world, if they escape like this, they will be regarded as fugitives."

Quickly dressed neatly, Zeyu thought for a while, motioned Chongyun to get smaller, squatted on his shoulders with a concealed posture, and responded loudly to the door:

"coming."

"Xie Zeyu, now that you are suspected of murdering Chef Cai, please follow us back to the county government for trial!"

The person who came was very angry, it was the head catcher in the city who was ordered to arrest Zeyu and bring him to court.

"Murder? Murder?"

Until being detained in front of the hall, Zeyu still couldn't figure it out, how could he become the murderer who killed Chef Cai?

"The hall is Xie Zeyu?"

The loud gavel drew Zeyu's attention back, and he raised his head, dumbfounded:

This city really is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

"Xie Zeyu, why didn't you answer my lord's question?"

The master is a handsome scholar, he glanced at Zeyu's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, and asked with a half-smile; after speaking, he covered his mouth with a feather fan, not knowing what he was thinking.

"My lord, the grass man is Xie Zeyu, I didn't kill anyone."

Trying to calm down her heartbeat, when she met the master's eyes, Zeyu was flustered again:

What's the matter?With him, four beasts in one play?But why should he kneel down?

"Do you have evidence?"

The county magistrate in the hall is wearing a blue official robe, with a full sky, a high nose bridge, and two thick eyebrows slanting into the temples, not angry and majestic.

"evidence……"

Zeyu had an idea, cast a little magic power, rolled up his sleeves, and there were purple "scars", "crying":

"My lord, the grassroots were killed by thieves yesterday. Not only was the house burned, but they were almost beaten to death. How could they have the strength to kill?"

"Oh? But that's not what the boss of Wenxianglou said. He said that you have accumulated a grudge against Chef Cai, and even let him die. Let him come up to testify."

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, the sad-faced boss was brought up. Of course, he was not crying for Chef Cai, but because Wenxianglou lost a big cash cow, which was no different from cutting flesh from him.

"It just so happens that the boss has also seen the person who murdered the grassroots. Maybe that person is the real murderer of Chef Cai."

Here, Zeyu speaks convincingly. The boss was about to say those false accusations all night, but he was choked up, and he lost his voice:

"What do you mean? How do I know this kind of person?"

"It's not just me talking nonsense. The one who took the lead in yesterday's attack was the one who made trouble at the teacher's banquet. Boss, you even paid him for his medical expenses. I must have an impression."

Zeyu spoke vividly and sincerely:

"It doesn't matter if you don't, just ask the guests of Wenxiang Building that day, there must be someone who is willing to help and correct me."

"This this……"

Dou Da's cold sweat fell from the boss's forehead, he never expected that Xie Zeyu would bite him back.

"Of course the person who murdered Xie Zeyu must be arrested, but this does not prove that the other party is the murderer of Chef Cai, and..."

Before the master finished speaking, Chong Yun, who was standing quietly on Zeyu's shoulder, spread his wings with a "swish", jumped to the front of the master's case with a "bang", and swept his feather fan to the ground in front of his face.

The master's face turned dark immediately, raging anger burst into the sparkling and affectionate peach blossom eyes, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

Zeyu: ...

County magistrate: ...

"Cough cough."

In order to prevent the two notoriously aggressive beasts from fighting in the courtroom, the county magistrate coughed in embarrassment and had to jump out to smooth things over:

"According to my official opinion, Xie Zeyu's injury is so severe that he has limited mobility. It's hard to say whether he can escape the patrolling officials during the curfew. It's definitely impossible to kill Chef Cai in the middle of the night."

He paused, his eyes wandered between Zeyu and Chongyun for a moment, and added:

"Under the watchful eyes of the public, it is so ruthless to deal with unarmed people. It is a disregard for the king's law. Xie Zeyu, don't worry, I will thoroughly investigate your matter!"

"Why did you provoke him without saying a word just now?"

Back at the wooden house, Zeyu thought of the two birds at war in the hall, and secretly felt a little scared: What if there was a real fight and the court was burned down.

"Hit it, it's not like you can't beat it, where are you going?"

Chongyun was eager for a fight to make the chicken wink, but seeing Zeyu start to pack up his burden again, he really didn't understand, didn't the county government already express that they wanted to arrest the troublemakers?What are you running?

"I'm thinking, Xie Zeyu doesn't have much money, so sooner or later he'll just sit back and eat, so it's better to find a way to make a living."

Carrying the burden on his back, Zeyu held Chongyun in his arms, stroking him and saying:

"Besides, those two who live in the city don't know their character yet, and your injuries are not healed, so stay away first."

"Can't you change some money?"

Looking at Ze Yu in disbelief, Chong Yun raised his head and pecked at his dimple, angrily:

"Those two must have used spells to enjoy themselves, we can also..."

"It can be done, but it can't be eye-catching. You have to take your time. In short, I have a sense of proportion."

To be precise, this was Xie Zeyu's own wish, and Zeyu just helped him to fulfill it.

Before falling off the cliff, Xie Zeyu had already made a plan to start, and only owed to be a teacher, and now is the opportunity.

"When did you prepare these?"

This place is facing an important road in the outskirts of the city, and behind it are endless mountains. Chong Yun jumped on the wooden table and looked at this small stall.

There are two sets of wooden tables and stools, a simple stove made of bricks, a pot, several sets of bowls and chopsticks, a bucket and a basin, and a long bamboo pole as thick as an arm.

"I'll fix it by the way when I'm preparing for the teacher's banquet. By the way, if I'm too busy, can you help me?"

Carefully caressing the top of Chongyun's head with his slender fingers, Zeyu felt a little uneasy, fearing that he would feel that he would hurt the dignity of the beast.

"Of course, if there's anything wrong, just leave it to me."

Excitedly flapping his wings, seeing that Zeyu was very excited about opening the store, Chongyun felt that it was very fresh, and it sounded very interesting.

"Uh, why don't you ask for help?"

Zeyu wisely did not say this sentence, anyway, once Chongyun agreed, there was no need to go back on his word.

The stall's main specialty is Zhusheng noodles. Yin Zeyu has found out before that most of the noodles sold in the city are egg noodles, and the taste is more sticky.

The bamboo noodles are crispy and elastic, full of toughness, suitable for hot cooking and cold salad, and the recipe can be changed according to the season.

The method is also different from ordinary noodles. After kneading the dough, it is necessary to roll the dough with a large bamboo pole until it is stretched flat on the chopping board. After an hour, the dough can be rolled into silver-like fine noodles.

Moreover, no eggs or water are added during the noodle kneading process. Only duck eggs are used to make the noodles full of egg fragrance and strong enough.

The noodles are full and the hands are quick. It is the most suitable to sell to those traders who travel from place to place.

Therefore, the stall has only been open for two days, and there is an endless stream of customers, which naturally attracts some jealous eyes.

"My God, there are bugs in this bowl of noodles!"

"It's disgusting!"

Hearing this familiar line, Zeyu, who was busy by the stove, couldn't laugh or cry: Why do these people use the same trick when they come and go? !
