Jin Yuxing, a mouse and cat

It was early in the morning two days later when the group arrived outside Jingzhao City.

The six people dismounted together and led the horse into the city gate. The horse's hooves moved forward slowly and made a crisp sound.

What caught their eyes was a street that was still bustling with flowers.Zhan Zhao sighed slightly, how could this place look like a place where five murders happened in a row!

"Hero Zhan, you and Lao Wu go to the government office first, let's find a restaurant to live in first." Lu Fang led the horse and approached Zhan Zhao and said, they are not officials, so it is not good to rashly live in the government office.

"That's fine." Zhan Zhao nodded with a smile, then he glanced at Bai Yutang, and bid farewell to the others.Before Bai Yutang had time to say hello to his brothers, he pulled his horse and chased after him.

"Oh. I've never seen a mouse chasing a cat!" Xu Qing pouted, looking at the backs of the two of them.I don't know what the fifth brother thinks, at first he and Zhan Zhao were like natural enemies, why did he run away with him now!

It was an unintentional remark, but Jiang Ping immediately looked at him.Jiang Ping squinted his eyes slightly, he shouldn't be able to see it with the thick nerve of the third brother!After thinking for a while, he looked back, patted the horse's back, stroked the hair with his hands, and said nothing.

Lu Fang stared at him with sharp eyes, who didn't know that Lao Wu went to trouble Zhan Zhao because of the word 'Royal Cat' at the beginning, if he heard this, there might be some troubles!

Xu Qing immediately shut up.Lu Fang led the horse to find the restaurant.

"Senior Sikong, let's go." Jiang Ping said respectfully to Sikong Lin.

Si Konglin nodded, "Let's go!" He led the horse past Jiang Ping.

Several people settled in a restaurant with the sign 'Xu Xian Lou'.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang led their horses through the three avenues and came to the front of the government office.A gray wooden board has the three characters 'Jingzhaofu' with a white inside and black border, and the plaque hangs high on the eaves and the open gate.Standing on both sides of the red pillar in front of the mansion are two doormen in light gray clothes.

Zhan Zhao handed the rope to Bai Yutang, and Fifth Lord took it naturally.Then Zhan Zhao went up the steps and took out his badge from his pocket: "Is Master Bao in the house?"

The yamen guard outside the door saw Sipin's token guarding with a knife and immediately cupped his hands: "See Mr. Zhan. Mr. Bao is in the mansion!"

Zhan Zhao put the waist badge in his arms, he is not used to hanging things around his waist, it is more convenient for catching criminals!It's just that Yutang asked him to keep the jade pendant, so he can wear it if he insists on it!

Fifth Master stepped up a few steps gracefully: "Go and feed the horse."

The yamen servant nodded, and summoned the servants in the mansion to pull the horse down.

Bai Yutang flicked his leg robe and entered the door, Zhan Zhao walked beside him.

Bai Yutang turned his head to look at him lazily, "Mao'er, Master Bao is really stingy, this Jingzhao Mansion even hired a boy to feed the horses!"

Zhan Zhao squinted at him: "Your Excellency, that's thrifty! Don't tell me if you don't know!"

"Okay, be frugal! My cat is also frugal enough." Fifth Master said with his phoenix eyes slightly raised, showing a smile.

What 'grandfather's cat'!Zhan Zhao turned his head with a 'chi', his long hair scattered on his right shoulder.

Cats are not funny!Bai Yutang pursed his lips, a calm smile gradually appeared on the corners of his lips, he stretched out his hand to push back the few strands of black hair on Zhan Zhao's right shoulder, and then quietly walked beside him.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang who suddenly became quiet, and he stroked the strands of hair that Yutang touched just now with his right hand, his fair face was slightly rosy, and the faint, indescribable feeling was mixed with a little bit of sweetness from his heart. overflow.

"Brother Zhan!" Wang Chao happily looked at Zhan Zhao who appeared, and ran towards him shouting. "You're here!"

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes, seeing Wang Chao's happy expression, he was slightly dissatisfied, why is he so happy when the cat came!Wu Ye stood in front of Zhan Zhao, and Wang Chao stopped abruptly. "Where is Master Bao?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Lord Bai!" Wang Chao took a step back slowly, and then said in a slightly heavy tone: "Last night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, another girl died. Mr. Gongsun is conducting an autopsy, and my lord is in the hall to discuss the case with the governor of Jingzhao Mansion!"

After hearing Wang Chao's words, Zhan Zhao immediately walked to the hall, ignoring the two of them, and lost another life!

Bai Yutang also left immediately.Wang Chao turned around, turned his head to look at the two people who were walking at the same pace, and followed.

"My lord!" Zhan Zhao greeted after entering the door.

Bao Zheng raised his eyes and saw Zhan Zhaohe and Bai Yutang who walked in, and immediately got up, "Guard Zhan, Guard Bai!"

Sitting on the right side of Bao Zheng, a man wearing a gray silk official gown who looked about 40 years old stood up with a long beard: "I have heard about the two knights for a long time, and they are really heroic and upright." He happened to be there when Zhan Zhao performed at Yaowu Building, and he wondered why such a gentle and refined man would fall into the officialdom?It wasn't until later that the common people praised him a lot, and people in the world became paranoid about his deeds, that they gradually understood that people always have things they want to do, and the reason why Zhan Zhao was willing to become an official in the court was not for other reasons. , just because he has a heart of pity for the people of the world, he is willing to report to the imperial court and go down to An Lishu!

Zhan Zhao cupped his hands and smiled at the middle-aged man. If he was not mistaken, this must be Lord Yin Lin of Jingzhao Mansion! "Xiaguan Zhanzhao has a meeting with Mr. Lin." This kind of polite etiquette in the government cannot be avoided.

Fifth Master clasped his hands aside and said: "Bai Yutang." After finishing the three simple and clear words, Fifth Master put the sword on the square table and sat down.

Lin Zhongyue also knew who Chinchilla Bai Yutang was, and sighed in his heart: This person has such a temperament, how could he be an official in the court!It's just that he didn't pursue Bai Yutang's rude behavior, and then waved to Zhan Zhao, imitating Bao Zheng's call: "Guard Zhan, please sit down! You don't have to be polite, this case depends on you young men with strong martial arts skills to catch the murderer." Already!"

Speaking of the case, Zhan Zhao said as soon as he sat down, "My lord, when I came down, I heard from Wang Chao that there was another murder case yesterday?"

Bao Zheng didn't speak.Lin Zhongyue frowned with thick eyebrows, shook his head and sighed: "That was already the sixth life last night!"

Zhan Zhao lowered his head in deep thought.Bai Yutang propped his head up to see his delicate face frown slightly, Fifth Master stroked the hilt of Huaying's sword, and he looked like this again!

"Lord Bao, I still remember the files I read that day. The victims are all innocent women!" Zhan Zhao said, raising his head.

Bao Zheng nodded, "That's right!".

Lin Zhongyue continued: "Although they are women, they have nothing in common. But now the only thing that is certain is that the murderer commits crimes regularly, and he commits crimes every five days." It's just that he didn't understand Why did the murderer want to commit murder in Jingzhao, and didn't run away after committing these few cases!

Zhan Zhao wrote down these words.In addition to the fact that the deceased were all women, this case can only be said to be clueless. What kind of crime did the man take to retaliate against the woman!Let's wait and see if Mr. Gongsun finds anything.Zhan Zhao attached Ju Que with his hand, no matter what the reason was, he must kill this insane person with his own hands!

Fifth Master moved Huaying from the square table on the left to this side, and deliberately touched the cat with the scabbard.

Zhan Zhao looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

Fifth Master put Huaying on his lap, "Let's go out and inspect later!" Bai Yutang said, not wanting the cat to continue to put on that low-browed, pensive look.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Wait for Mr. Gongsun to come and see if he finds anything?"

After the words were finished, the servant brought two cups of tea with a tray.The two didn't savor it very carefully, one was thinking about how to catch the murderer, and the other looked at the other from time to time.

Half an hour later, a green shirt appeared at the door, and Gongsun Ce Qingsu's face was somewhat tired.

"Sir!" Zhan Zhao said.

Gongsun Ce raised his eyes to see him, and approached him with a smile on his face: "When did the guard Zhan come?"

Zhan Zhao got up and greeted Mr. Gongsun: "It's been a while."

Gongsun Ce sat down and knew that although Zhan Zhao didn't ask any questions, he knew this child well enough for so long.Without waiting for Zhan Zhao to ask him about the case, he said to several people: "This should be the work of the flower pickers, and they also singled out girls who haven't left the court!" He checked the six corpses, all of which were violated. How dare this kind of animal harm the people like this.

"Brother Bao, if this is the case, it will be difficult to catch. If he dares to commit crimes one after another, he must have superb martial arts skills!" Lin Zhongyue said to Bao Zheng.He and Bao Zheng were students in the same class of Zhongju, and he was also from the same town, so Bao Zheng asked him to call him that.

Bai Yutang smiled disdainfully when he heard the words 'holding superb martial arts', "I really want to see you! But it will be hard for him to meet Master Bai."

"Yutang!" Zhan Zhao looked at him and shook his head lightly, how could he say such a tone in front of an adult.Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at Lin Zhongyue with a smile on his face: "Master Lin, Yutang is naturally like this, and he didn't intentionally collide rudely."

Hearing Mao'er's justifiable words, Bai Yutang didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, silly cat!Always be so careful!

They haven't seen each other for a few days, but the two have become more friendly, Gongsun Ce pursed his lips and thought.

Lin Zhongyue didn't understand why he looked at Zhan Zhao, seeing the shy smile on this man's face, he immediately understood, he smiled, and said, "It's okay, I like Bai Yishi's straightforward temperament!" He was also too young , I used to be so high-spirited.

The fifth master grinned generously: "Smelly cat, adults don't mind, why are you so worried!" This Master Lin is really informal!

Bao Zheng looked at these two people with a faint smile on his black face. After coming from Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao became more cheerful, unlike before when he clearly knew everything but was bored by himself!

Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes at him without leaving a trace, it's not like you always act like this!

Gongsun Ce blinked, and his smiling face slowly calmed down.He got up and took out a folded paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "Here are the identities of the victims, the places where their bodies were found, and some other information."

Zhan Zhao took it and nodded, Mr. was thinking thoughtful.He opened the paper, bowed his head to read it carefully, and handed the paper to Bai Yutang.

Fifth Master took the note and glanced at it casually, then stuffed it into his arms, and continued to look at Zhan Zhao seemingly unintentionally.

Zhan Zhao got up, and cupped his hands to Bao Zheng and Lin Zhongyue: "My lord, let me go down and have a look around." He knew that Yutang couldn't sit still anymore, so he might as well say it himself first, so as not to be dragged away passively by this person later. .

Fifth Master stood up and patted the snow-white satin robe.

Lin Zhongyue originally wanted the two of them to rest for a while before handling the case, but now it's just the right time, and they might not be able to stay still, and with such a big incident, Jingzhao City has already caused panic. Five days later I still don't know what that villain will do again!They nodded together with Bao Zheng.

Two people holding swords, one white and one basket, walked out of the hall.

After the two left, Lin Zhongyue said: "Brother Bao, you have recruited two such outstanding people!"

Bao Zheng smiled slightly and waved his hands: "The government will accept anyone who can do good things for the common people!"

Lin Zhongyue smiled and said nothing, the common people gave him the name of Qingtian, it was really considerate.

When the two arrived outside Jingzhao Mansion, Bai Yutang's bright eyes slightly turned to look at Zhan Zhao: "Cat, where should we go first?"

"Facing the street." The place where the body was found this morning!After finishing speaking, Zhan Zhao moved the Juque on his right hand to his left, and went down the steps.

Fifth Master nodded, and then followed, "Cat, do you know what you remind me of?" Bai Yutang leaned his head next to his left ear and said.

"Come over." Zhan Zhao held Ju Que by his waist, he didn't know Bai Yutang's words, anyway, this white mouse can't say anything good!

The fifth master smiled, grabbed his chin, and pretended to think: "Hiss... the master just has a bad attitude! Mr. Lin didn't blame him. Why are you like a sister-in-law?" The elder brother is as sullen as he is making a bad face at me!"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then a streak of orange red slowly climbed up his cheeks, the expression on his face changed rapidly, he puffed up his eyes and shouted: "Damn rat! What are you talking about!"

Bai Yutang tapped his toes, leaped a few steps forward, then turned his head, smiled brightly at Xinghua, and pointed at Zhan Zhao: "Oh... cat, do you often scold me like this in your heart!" Seeing Mao'er's face flushed like a ripe tomato, he suddenly became very happy!

It's not you scolding!He didn't know why this man liked to mess with him so much!Zhan Zhao was speechless, so he could only close his lips tightly, what a sulking look from a sister-in-law to a brother!He gritted his teeth, and charged forward with his hands on the giant gate.

Fifth Master stepped back and leaned sideways: "Cat, what are you going to do..."

Just in the middle of the corner, the sunlight has just the right concentration.The two figures walked one after the other, Zhan Zhao raised his head in front of him, smelling the warm breath, the red hair band mixed with black silk fluttered gently; Bai Yutang bit his mouth, rubbed his stomach, tilted He followed up, "Cat, why are you so ruthless!"
