Cute Beast Food Garden

The next day, Qi Yan and Si Dongmo woke up early and got out of bed after sleeping all night and regaining their energy.After they dressed and washed, they came to the circle that Dongmo had drawn on the ground the night before.

"so……"

"How do you get this thing out?"

Suppressed by the unknown power of Dong Mo, Gui Mengyan was forcibly compressed from a cloud of black mist into a pancake, which was pasted dryly in the small circle drawn by Si Dongmo's blood on his fingertips.

"To untie the bell, one must tie it." Qi Yan stretched out an arm and made a "please" gesture, "Go, Pikamo!"

"What?" Si Dongmo tilted his head blankly, puzzled by his new nickname.But right now, it seems that he is the only one who is fit to pull the pie-shaped Strange Dream Smoke out of the ground by himself.

He tentatively stepped forward, and just as he stretched out his hand, he saw a few "snake"-like black things suddenly protruding from Si Dongmo's short cuffs. At first glance, good guy, it really was the black stripes that showed up yesterday.These weird lines, like living creatures with thoughts, crawled down Si Dongmo's strong and powerful arms, and finally wrapped around his fingertips like hair.

Qi Yan couldn't help being surprised: "Dongmo, did the black lines on your body come out on their own?"

Dongmo himself was also taken aback.He took advantage of the situation and stretched his hand to the ground. The moment he touched the ground, the lifeless Wei Mengyan in the blood-stained circle "lived" again, and his body flattened into a thin paper gradually returned to the original shape of the smoke, soaring from the ground. He got up, and was grabbed by Si Dongmo in his hand.

Qi Yan slapped his hands a few times, and praised: "Amazing, my Mo!"

Si Dongmo was able to grasp the non-existent smoke with his arms wrapped in black stripes, this ability seemed to be extraordinary.Qi Yan brought a larger coat and put it on Si Dongmo, so that he could hide the strange dream smoke under the hem without appearing too ostentatious.

After that, they went out one after the other, temporarily left the small inn, and rushed towards the Yamen without stopping.

Not far from the yamen, Qi Yan suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, immediately pulled La Dongmo's sleeve, and whispered: "The man in front seems to be Governor Su's entourage."

Si Dongmo was taken aback, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. During the Lantern Festival, this person followed Governor Su and appeared near the restaurant's booth."

At the corner of the street not far away, there was a tall and thin man standing with his hands behind his back. It was the official who Qi Yan ran into by chance at the Lantern Festival because he ran out after chasing the wind blowing beast.He waved at the two people who came forward, motioning them to go quietly.

They walked quickly to the man, followed him to the left, and walked into a hidden path.

"You two, don't go to the yamen, there are guards from Master Qin, monitoring every move of the people around you."

Qi Yan gave a low "hey" and asked again: "May I ask what your name is?"

"I'm just Master Su's follower, you don't have to be polite, just call me Lao Li."

After twisting and turning in the alley, they finally came to an inconspicuous teahouse.As soon as Lao Li entered the door, a young man immediately came out from the corner, led them to the private room on the second floor, served them a pot of freshly brewed tea, and then turned around and left.

The teahouse is sparsely populated and quiet.Seeing that Qi Yan and Si Dongmo were sitting in their seats with some restraint, Lao Li personally served them tea, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, both of you. The purpose of inviting you here this time is that all of you are here. Already guessed."

Qi Yan and Dong Mo looked at each other, then nodded and said: "Yes, we have collected some evidence about Boss Lan and the poisoning of the restaurant, and we are planning to find Governor Su. However, it seems that we will not be able to see him for now Master Su is gone, isn't he?"

"Yeah." Lao Li picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, "Master Su just entered Chicheng, and he's not in Luoxia Town right now."

Chicheng is the imperial capital of the Zhu Kingdom, and it is very far away from Hongye County. Master Su must have important matters to go to the capital to deal with when he leaves at this time, and he will not come back soon.

Hearing this, Qi Yan felt a little sad.But Lao Li waved his hand lightly, "However, Master Su specially left me to wait around the yamen during the time he was away, just to deal with this matter."

Both of them were a little moved when they heard it.Dong Mo said sincerely: "I'm really bothering Master Su and Lao Li for making such careful consideration for our restaurant."

Lao Li smiled: "It's not just to help you deal with your affairs. This time Governor Su's entry into Chicheng is somewhat related to the case of the Fourteenth Restaurant, but there is a more important purpose." He told the two people present Let's talk about it one by one.

"The poisoning case of the fourteen restaurants was originally under the jurisdiction of Mr. Su. After a serious interrogation of the troublemaker, the man who claimed that his child was poisoned by the snacks in the restaurant finally couldn't bear the pressure and revealed some details He admitted that he was from Yuanshan Restaurant, and that he was instigated by the shopkeeper of Yuanshan Restaurant to spread rumors at the entrance of the restaurant. However, he resolutely refused to say anything other than this, and had nothing to say. explain.

Mr. Su originally planned to start an investigation based on the clues of the Yuanshan restaurant that the man confessed to.However, not long after interrogating the man, Lord Qin and his men forcibly broke into the Ministry of Criminal Justice, made a big fuss inside, and completely torn skins with Mr. Su.He swears that Governor Su had an affair with Boss Lan of the restaurant. In order to cover Boss Lan, he deliberately used threats and forced witnesses to give false testimony.

Then, he colluded with the relevant personnel of the local government, snatched the right to hear the case, signed an arrest warrant, and rushed towards the restaurant with a group of government servants. "

Lao Li said, sighed, and poured himself another cup of tea, "Master Su is a special ordering officer appointed by the imperial court. He is mainly responsible for various criminal cases in Hongye County, and supervises the actions of officials. Lord of the county, Lord Qin has been an official in Hongye County for nearly 30 years. He has a deep foundation, intricate power, and insatiable greed. He has made a lot of money in the county. He is the key monitoring target of Governor Su.

But as the saying goes, 'a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake'.Master Qin has worked hard in Hongye County for so many years, and his network of contacts is so huge that it is unimaginable.Inspector Su was almost alone and helpless in Hongye County. He was struggling to do things, and he was always made things difficult by officials from Lord Qin's faction. Only occasionally some officials who were suppressed or bullied by Lord Qin were willing to quietly help him. "

He put down the teacup and made a "thump" sound on the table.Qi Yan frowned slightly, he knew that Lao Li was the follower of Governor Su, but he and Dong Mo were just two ordinary people.Lao Li was willing to tell them the official affairs clearly and generously, so he must have a special intention.

Sure enough, Lao Li lowered his voice and said, "However, Mr. Su endured the humiliation in Hongye County for so long, 'put a long line and catch big fish'. Now, it's time to reap the fruits."

Seeing the deep meaning in his eyes, Qi Yan suddenly became excited, "Could it be..."

Lao Li took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It's about as you imagined. Lord Su intends to 'collect' the net this time, and 'collect' the biggest and fattest fish in Hongye County."

Qi Yan clenched his fists for a moment.He quickly took a sip of hot tea, suppressing the restlessness and restlessness in his heart.Lao Li saw through his fluctuating mood, and smiled lightly: "Don't be nervous. Although Mr. Su is young, he already has experience in this area, and he will handle this matter well. Of course, we still need the cooperation of the two of you right now."

Dong Mo nodded repeatedly, and it was obvious that he was also very excited.After all, Master Qin has had direct or indirect conflicts with them one after another since he appeared in front of them: he bullied Master Zhao, robbed Zhenbaolong;

And his political inaction has hurt the people of Hongye County even more.Before Governor Su took action to rectify the gang of beggars, there were frequent incidents of bandits and oppression in towns and villages; collusion between officials and businessmen, monopolizing business, crowding out and oppressing ordinary small businessmen, and doing many evil things.Therefore, this time Governor Su took advantage of the restaurant incident to prepare to directly attack Lord Qin, which cheered him up.

"The affairs of the government are handed over to Inspector Su, and the two need to be entrusted to the restaurant. Before exposing the true face of Lord Qin, we must try our best to clean up the grievances of the restaurant and rescue Boss Lan from prison. come out."

Thinking of Boss Lan's matter, Qi Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Lao Li, this Lord Qin has always been lustful. He invited Boss Lan to his house as a 'guest' several times, but he was always rejected. I think he planted food this time. Si has the intention of avenging Boss Lan's personal revenge, and I wonder if Boss Lan will be made things difficult by Master Qin in prison?"

He spoke cryptically, but Lao Li could understand what he meant.Master Qin has always been lawless and lawless. This time he pushed Boss Lan into prison in impatience. No one would believe him if he had no other intentions.

Lao Li signaled him not to be anxious: "Inspector Su has arranged personnel to monitor the situation in the prison. Fortunately, every time Master Qin tried to get close to Boss Lan, his body would feel inexplicably itchy, and it made him roll on the ground, loudly Crying, but the doctor couldn't find out the reason. Therefore, so far, Master Qin has never succeeded in approaching Boss Lan."

When Qi Yan heard this, he couldn't hold back a thud, and Si Dongmo also burst out laughing.

Lao Li looked at them with a smile, and said, "Although I don't know how Boss Lan did it, I believe he has a strong ability to protect himself. We don't need to worry about the prison. We need to solve the problem urgently. That's how Lord Qin and Yuanshan Restaurant poisoned the snacks sold in the restaurant."

"It's easy to say, the real murderer happened to slam into the door yesterday and was arrested by us." Qi Yan grinned and signaled Si Dongmo to raise his arm.

Dong Mo obediently opened his coat, and raised his left hand hidden inside.He held a cloud of black smoke tightly in his hand.

"That's it!" Dongmo said triumphantly as he brought Gui Mengyan in front of Lao Li.

Old Li was caught off guard by a big cloud of Mengmeng smoke sticking out under his nose, and the bone-chilling cold made him shiver violently: "Wow!" He trembled and almost knocked over his teacup to the ground.

Qi Yan hurriedly grabbed Dong Mo's arm: "Lao Li is not mentally prepared, and he has never seen Guimengyan. Don't scare him."

Dong Mo thought of this and scratched his hair embarrassingly: "Sorry, Lao Li, I scared you."

"No...it's nothing." Lao Li was so frightened that he drank two sips of tea. After calming down, he carefully looked at the black smoke in Dongmo's hand, and said in surprise, "This cloud of black smoke is the 'true murderer'?"

Qi Yan completely recounted the whole process of Guimengyan and its poisoning to Lao Li.After hearing this, Lao Li stroked his chin and said, "Since we can catch Gui Mengyan, it would be great." After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he beckoned Qi Yan and Dong Mo to come closer.

"Mr. Qin will interrogate Boss Lan in court in a few days. At that time, Governor Su will approve a testimonial document, and the two of you will serve as witnesses in this case, bringing the document and physical evidence—that is, sly Mengyan, go and wait outside the yamen."

"As for me, I will step up preparations before Governor Su returns to Luoxia Town, and try to take Lord Qin down in one fell swoop!"
