Kaifeng Bistro

When Tan Zhifeng got up, it was just dawn. He went to the next door to prepare breakfast, but found that Bai Yutang was also up.Bai Yutang sat alone at the table for an unknown how long, but he seemed to be in a good mood.After seeing Tan Zhifeng, he smiled and waved to Tan Zhifeng: "Little shopkeeper, come here, my brother has a few words with you."

Tan Zhifeng walked over wondering: "What's the matter? Brother Bai, do you want me to get you something to eat first?"

"I'm not hungry." Bai Yutang raised his lips, pulled Tan Zhifeng to sit down, and asked him, "Zhifeng, do you need my brother to teach you?"

"What?" Tan Zhifeng looked at him wonderingly, "Do you want to teach me how to make delicious food?"

Bai Yutang smiled, and whispered something in his ear, Tan Zhifeng blushed and waved his hands: "Uh... this, for the time being, I see, I..."

"Oh, you don't need to talk to Zhifeng anymore." Zhuo Zhuo suddenly patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder from behind: "He is hopeless. Eh, but... why did you teach him? Why didn't you teach Xu Where is Gan?"

"This is not something your girl should hear." Bai Yutang was a little surprised by Zhuo Zhuo's sudden appearance, and Zhuo Zhuo's question made him a little embarrassed.He coughed unhappily: "Forget it. Come to me when you want to know Zhifeng. Zhuo Zhuo, I'm going out now and bring my steel knife."

"What? Your knife?" Zhuo Zhuo spread his hands in bewilderment: "Didn't you take your knife away yesterday?"

Bai Yutang frowned suspiciously: "When did I take it away?"

Tan Zhifeng quickly stood up and searched for Bai Yutang's steel knife with Zhuo Zhuo, they were sweating profusely looking around when they suddenly heard someone shouting in a hurry outside: "It's terrible, it's terrible. "

"What are you shouting about?!" Bai Yutang shouted angrily, and when he looked back, he found that it was Chen Qing and Zhou Yanjing who came.Xu Gan heard the commotion, and also came from the next door: "What happened?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Quick, hurry up and take a look." Zhou Yanjing said out of breath, "I heard that someone died in Killing Pig Alley on the opposite side, and the death was terrible. It wasn't a girl from here, but a child from the south of the city. No one knows him, and they don't know who his parents are, Mr. Xu, you lived in the south of the city before, why don't you go and see if it's someone you know?"

Xu Gan stared at him for a while, and his face quickly sank: "How did you die?"

"We didn't go to look at it." Lu Yang said: "Zhan's guards are here, and the arrester and Wu Zuo are all here. The dynasty asked if anyone knew the origin of this man. Some people said that they had seen him in the south of the city, so they let us come. Please, Mr. Xu, yours."

"No wonder..." Zhuo Zhuo suddenly realized: "When I woke up in the morning, I heard someone yelled in Pig Killing Alley, and it shocked me. But there are often some strange movements in that place, and I also I didn't pay much attention to it. It turned out to be..."

"...It turned out that someone was killed." Yi Yi also came out at this time, and said thoughtfully: "Master Bai, just now you said...?"

Bai Yutang was startled, and his gaze suddenly became sharp.He bypassed the two people at the door and walked quickly to the door.Xu Yan stood there with a cold face for a moment, Tan Zhifeng saw his eyes flickering, suddenly something was wrong.Just as he was about to speak, Xu Gan had already stepped out the door.Tan Zhifeng hurriedly followed behind them and walked towards the opposite side.

Before leaving the alley, I heard the scholars passing by shaking their heads and discussing: "How miserable, who on earth has such a deep hatred for him?"

The other person also sighed and said, "I don't know why he came here alone? I heard that he lives in the south of the city, and someone went there to find his relatives and friends."

Tan Zhifeng paused when he saw Xu Gan's figure, and then quickened his pace.Bai Yutang walked more and more slowly.Zhifeng walked past him and glanced sideways at him: "Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Yutang's face was gloomy and terrifying, he sneered and said to Tan Zhifeng, "Zhifeng...don't need to look for my knife."

Tan Zhifeng was taken aback for a moment, and slowed down unconsciously.When they got to the front, before they got closer, someone had already said in front: "Xu Gan, come and take a look... This is not that..."

"Who is it? Does Xu Gan know him?" Zhuo Zhuo also heard it, and asked suspiciously behind Tan Zhifeng.Tan Zhifeng had just recovered from the shock, but found that Xu Gan had already been led in.He also wanted to go in, but Zhan Zhao squeezed out from the crowd and stopped him: "Don't go, Zhifeng, it has nothing to do with you."

Zhan Zhao's face was not very good-looking, he stopped Tan Zhifeng while looking behind him.It wasn't until Bai Yutang walked over that he put his hands down, walked to Bai Yutang's side and said in a low voice, "Yutang, I want to ask you a few words."

"What if I don't want to answer?" Bai Yutang's bright and beautiful eyes were full of hatred, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Do you want to interrogate me?"

"I dare not." Zhan Zhao's voice became smaller and smaller, but at this moment Tan Zhifeng felt a pain in his chest, he couldn't help shaking, Yi Yi hurriedly supported him from behind: "Zhifeng, what's wrong with you? "

"I..." Tan Zhifeng pressed his heart, "I'm fine, why don't you go and see what happened?"

Yi Yi shook his head and said, "What's so interesting, let's go back."

He had just finished saying this when he saw Xu Gan walking out from inside. His tall figure stood out from the crowd like a mountain. The discussion stopped, and the narrow alley became silent for a while, and the people standing beside Xu Gan retreated in panic one after another, and the small area soon became empty.

"What's wrong?" Tan Zhifeng walked over slowly, took Xu Gan's hand, and asked him.But Xu Gan didn't make a sound, he slowly broke free from Tan Zhifeng's hand, and continued to walk out of the alley.Tan Zhifeng could only look at the gate of the courtyard that had been surrounded by people.There, a boy was lying face up in a pool of purple-black blood.The boy's ears were cut off, and his face was scratched in a mess. A small piece of light brown skin was exposed in the blood stains, and a pair of round cat-like eyes stared frightenedly and unwillingly. He stared blankly and helplessly. Dark morning sky.

It's not that Tan Zhifeng has never seen a person who died brutally, but the shock that this corpse brought to him was too great, he was completely stunned, and his vision was suddenly blurred by the dried blood all over his eyes. For a long time, he supported the wall next to him to stand firm, and looked down, only to see a familiar steel knife obliquely inserted into the boy's abdomen, the blood there had already soaked his gray jacket.

Zhuo Zhuo and Yi Yi, who rushed over quickly, also saw what Tan Zhifeng had seen.Zhuo Zhuo covered his mouth in surprise: "My God, that, that, that knife..."

"Shut up!" Yi Yi said angrily and even viciously.He came up to support Tan Zhifeng, and the three of them walked out together.

"No, definitely not." Tan Zhifeng muttered to himself, "He wouldn't do that."

"Why not?" Bai Yutang's voice as cold as ice suddenly came from beside his ear.He was standing face to face with Zhan Zhao at the entrance of the alley, and the yamen servants came and went beside them to disperse the crowd, and began to prepare to carry A Yuan's body away, but Bai Yutang pulled Tan Zhifeng over and said to Zhan Zhao: "You tell Zhifeng how I used to deal with these people, it was much crueler than he thought."

"Yutang." Zhan Zhao lowered his head and said softly, "Let's talk to Zhifeng, there are people watching here."

"I'm not afraid of others' comments." Bai Yutang raised his chin and looked at those who looked at him strangely, "I'm not afraid of others' observations either. Zhan Zhao, I never denied what I did. I never Missed someone."

He turned around and left, but someone behind him suddenly shouted: "This, isn't this Mr. Bai's knife? Could it be, could it be that this child committed a crime?"

"Isn't it?" Someone echoed in a low voice: "When we ate roasted meat together last night, he...he used a knife to cut the meat for us!"

"But what did this child do wrong? It shouldn't be...it shouldn't be" This time it was a woman who spoke, probably Le Niang from Killing Pig Alley. Miserable."

Everyone sighed, and the smile on Bai Yutang's face became colder and colder, as if he didn't care about anything. "What should I do?" Chao Chao ran over cautiously and asked Zhan Zhao, "I heard that A Yuan seems to have some history, and the higher-ups sent someone to ask. Look at those two adults..."

Zhan Zhao showed a somewhat irritable expression, and said to him: "Go, I'll go see them." After finishing speaking, he whispered to Tan Zhifeng: "I'm watching your big brother Bai." After finishing speaking, he followed Wang Chao There were two men in scarlet robes on the other side of the wall.

Bai Yutang looked at Tan Zhifeng with a smile, but Tan Zhifeng felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart because of his smile, Bai Yutang didn't care, and said to Tan Zhifeng while smiling: "Zhifeng, you don't know who this A Yuan is, do you?" ?”

Tan Zhifeng didn't know why he mentioned this. He nodded and shook his head. At the same time, he was also trying to find the trace of Xu Gan. He vaguely caught a glimpse of Xu Gan standing at the entrance of the alley. He seemed to be talking to the person opposite him. , his back was straight, and he looked a little stiff. Tan Zhifeng really wanted to go and have a look at him, but he couldn't bear to leave Bai Yutang, because he really wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Forget it, you don't need to know." Bai Yutang said flatly, "Zhifeng, you..."

He stopped suddenly and looked back over Tan Zhifeng's shoulder, Tan Zhifeng had already felt the familiar aura coming from behind him.Xu Gan put his hand on Tan Zhifeng's shoulder. This was the first time that Tan Zhifeng noticed that his hand was shaking.

"No matter who he is, he shouldn't die like this." Xu Gan's voice was a little hoarse, as if there was an emotion that didn't belong to him: "Master Bai," he repeated: "Whoever killed A Yuan, I will avenge him."

"Okay." Bai Yutang looked directly at him: "Who is he, we already knew, he is just a pawn, a puppet. I think he is very pitiful, and I also think he shouldn't die, damn it, it's another people."

He also leaned forward and said to Xu Gan word by word, "It's those aliens with ulterior motives. Xu Gan, Zhifeng believes in you, Zhan Zhao believes in you, but I, Bai Yutang..."

Bai Yutang laughed out loud, Tan Zhifeng was startled, Xu Gan's hand on his shoulder was pressing harder and harder, and his aura became more and more frightening, Tan Zhifeng felt a bit of pain in his shoulder, it's not a big deal, What is uncomfortable is that his heart seems to be stirred by something, which makes him feel so painful that he is about to pass out.But he didn't move or make a sound, until Chang Chang's voice was heard not far away.

"Let, make let, please, Zhifeng... Brother Zhifeng, Ling'er, Ling'er are not feeling well, go back and have a look..."
