Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

The three of Zhan Zhao and his party bid farewell to the Liu family, and according to Bai'er's words, they hurriedly searched for Zhongnan Street in the town. Sure enough, they saw a satin shop at the entrance of the street, with a signboard "Tianzhi Satin Shop" hanging on it.

"Master Zhan, it seems that this is the satin shop." Zheng Xiaoliu looked around and whispered to Zhan Zhao.

Jin Qian heard it clearly from the side, and couldn't help laughing: the words on the signboard were bigger than the basket, and the cat is not illiterate, do you still need your kid to explain it here?

Zhan Zhao didn't see any anger, just nodded, and led Jin and Zheng into the satin store, looked around, and asked the clerk at the counter: "My little brother, do you have cloud brocade in your store? "

The waiter of the satin shop saw that the three people were dressed in simple clothes and their faces were dusty. They must not be rich people, so he didn't pay much attention to them.But now hearing the young man in blue shirt ask Yun Brocade, he couldn't help being a little surprised. He raised his eyes, waved his hand and replied, "What cloud brocade? No."

Although the guy's tone was not friendly, Zhan Zhao didn't care, and asked again: "Brother, is your shopkeeper in the shop?"

When the guy heard this, he was naturally not very happy, and thought: These three people, you can tell they are poor ghosts just by looking at their clothes, and they still want to show off their wealth, asking about cloud brocade.Now I want to ask our shopkeeper to come out again, hey, I have grown up so much, and I have never seen such a big poor ghost.

Thinking of this, the guy suddenly became unhappy, and said: "My shopkeeper has gone out and is not here."

Zhan Zhao asked again: "Then when will the shopkeeper be back?"

The clerk got a little impatient when he was asked, looked at Zhan Zhao sideways and said, "My lord, my shopkeeper is very busy, and I won't be able to come back after going out for ten or eight days. If you want to Buy two feet of cotton cloth to make clothes, see, there is a small stall opposite, so don’t stay here, blocking our shop’s business.”

Zhan Zhao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and just about to open his mouth to reveal his identity and ask questions, Zheng Xiaoliu who was at the side shouted first: "Why do you talk like that, do you know who is in front of you, he is... "

The guy was not polite, and also shouted: "I don't care who you are, if you don't buy something, don't yell here, move quickly!"

"What?" Zheng Xiaoliu was so angry that his eyes were burning, and he was about to open his voice to curse, but he felt that someone was knocking on his back from behind, and when he looked back, it was Jin Qian.

I saw Jin Qian raised his eyebrows, pushed Zheng Xiaoliu aside, walked to the counter, put the black package containing the black basin on the counter with a bang, folded his arms and said, "If you want to quarrel over there!" , these hundreds of taels of silver are about to crush me to death, let's find a place to rest."

Uh?

Not to mention the guy and Zheng Xiaoliu, even Zhan Zhao couldn't help being taken aback.

Seeing that Jinqian looked around, he turned back to Zhan Zhao and said, "My lord, I think there must be no cloud brocade in this country shop, and the rest of the materials are also ordinary and tight, not as fine as the one on your lord. Let’s go to Bianliang, Tokyo to have a look.”

The clerk was startled when he heard this, looked at the bulging baggage on the counter, and thought: Listen to this little brother's tone, could it be that these few are still big customers, but judging from the clothes of these three people , It's really not like it.

Thinking of this, the clerk couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Zhan Zhao carefully, and couldn't help being surprised after taking a closer look.

I saw this young man in blue shirt with a handsome appearance and an extraordinary bearing. Although the plain blue gown looked ordinary at first glance, but against this person, it was indescribably elegant and unrestrained. Presumably this blue shirt must be extraordinary Taste.

As soon as the guy rolled his eyes, he immediately ran out from behind the counter as if he was a different person, and came to Zhan Zhao with a smile and said, "Oh, my lord, I don't recognize you because of my stupid eyes. What do you want to see?" Material, just please inside."

When Zhan Zhao and Zheng Xiaoliu heard this, they couldn't help looking at Jin Qian, but saw that Jin Qian was embarrassing, walked to Zhan Zhao's side and said, "Young master, since there is no cloud brocade in this store, let's go to another store to see it." look."

When the guy heard this, he became anxious and shouted loudly: "My lord, don't leave. In the whole Liujia Town, only our shop has cloud brocades. Just look here."

Zhan Zhao lightly raised his sword eyebrows, glanced at Jin Qian, and said, "Since my brother said so, why don't you take it out for us to see."

Hearing this, the man was overjoyed, hurried into the inner room, and came out with a piece of brocade in his arms after a while.

I saw this piece of brocade, which is smooth and delicate like water, placed inside the house, but it can reflect the sunlight outside, and the brilliance is fully revealed, dazzling and dazzling.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help admiring in their hearts.

Jin Qian hurriedly pulled the package over, put it beside the brocade and asked in a low voice, "Liu Wupen, do you have any impression of this brocade?"

"...No." Wupen replied quietly.

"...Forget it, it's useless to ask you." Jin Qian pushed the black basin aside again.

Then I heard Zhan Zhao ask: "Brother, this brocade is of extraordinary color, where did you buy it?"

Hearing the words, the man couldn't help wondering, and asked, "Master, you came to buy brocade and didn't ask the price, but asked where the brocade was purchased from. What's the reason?"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, and replied, "My little brother doesn't know something, this cloud brocade is rare and expensive, and there are often fakes. I'll ask where I bought it, just in case."

"Oh..." The man nodded and said, "But I don't know where the cloud brocade is purchased from. Only my shopkeeper knows."

"Then where is your shopkeeper now?"

The clerk replied: "To tell you the truth, my shopkeeper went out to buy goods a few days ago, but he is not in the store at this time."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoliu hurried forward and asked, "Then when will your shopkeeper come back?"

The clerk shook his head: "The least is one or two days, and the most is three to five days."

Everyone frowns suddenly.

Jin Qian was the most frustrated, thinking: What a pity, this shopkeeper is really good at choosing when to go out, and the clues he got have disappeared, tsk tsk, so we, this black turtle, will continue to cosplay...God , the earth, God Jesus Tathagata Buddha, no matter which one is good, show your spirit quickly and save our poor lamb.

The guy looked at this and that, and saw that the faces of the three of them were not very good, especially the skinny boy in black, who looked like he wanted to find someone to fight, he couldn't help feeling a little scared, but he was afraid of being lost. I have a big business, and I dare not drive people out. I was worrying about how to get out here, when I suddenly saw a figure in front of the store, and I took a closer look. It happened to be an acquaintance. Aren’t they Uncle Sun and Second Master Sun? They’re here to drink with the shopkeeper again, what a coincidence, the shopkeeper has to wait a few days before he comes back when he goes out to buy goods.”

I heard a person at the door laughing and saying: "You brat, you are so attentive, do you want to ask for a drink?"

The other person also laughed and said, "Brother, I think this kid is getting more and more thief."

The man and those two chatted outside the door, Zhan Zhao and the three of them were all worried about the case, and no one paid attention to their surroundings.But on the counter behind the three of them, the bag containing the utensils suddenly shook violently, and rolled off the counter, fell to the ground with a bang, broke free from the bag, and rolled out of the door.

The conversation of the three people outside the door suddenly stopped, and a voice suddenly shouted: "Brother! This, this..."

When the three people in the house heard the yell, they looked back and couldn't help being shocked.

Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian rushed out from the house, Jin Qian picked up the black basin and covered it with his clothes.Zheng Xiaoliu then picked up the black cloth and hurriedly wrapped the black basin together with Jin Qian.

Just then a voice asked: "This little brother, this black basin is—"

Jin Qian looked up and saw that apart from the guy, there were two people standing at the door.

The one on the left is wearing a dark green silk shirt and wearing black short boots. He has a burly figure, a dark complexion, broom eyebrows, triangular eyes, and a messy beard.

The man on the right is slightly shorter, wearing a brown short-fronted satin jacket, brown silk trousers, black cloth boots, a pair of eight-character eyebrows, small round eyes, black face and beardless.The two stood together, looked carefully, there was a bit of similarity between their eyebrows and eyes.

It was the short brown-clothed man on the right who was asking the question just now, and his expression at this time can be called weird: his eyes are bulging, the left half of his face is calm, but the right half of his face is twitching faintly.

Jin Qian suddenly became suspicious, took two steps back holding the black basin, moved to Zhan Zhao's side, and said, "This black basin is mine, what's the problem?"

The brown-clothed man's face twitched more obviously when he heard the words, and asked again: "Where did you buy this black basin?"

Before Jin Qian answered, he saw Zhan Zhao stepping forward and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you two have seen this black basin before?"

Asked by Zhan Zhao, the short man couldn't help shrinking his neck back, his eyes shifted to the man in green shirt beside him, and he whispered: "Brother, that, that black basin..."

"Shut up!" The man in the green shirt shouted in a low voice, paused, raised his head and smiled at Zhan Zhao: "It's nothing, my brother has always wanted a black basin, and seeing that this black basin is good today, he also wants to buy one, so Just ask along the way."

Zhan Zhao lightly frowned his sword eyebrows, his starry eyes were cold, and looked at the two brothers carefully, before saying in a deep voice: "This black basin was purchased at Wang's Miscellaneous Shop on Mahang Street in Bianliang City, Tokyo. ever heard of it?"

"I haven't heard of it! I haven't heard of it!" The man in brown suddenly shook his hand and shouted.

"Second brother!" The man in the green shirt also raised his voice and shouted. Seeing that the man in brown clothes stopped his voice, he said slowly: "Guys, it seems that my brother drank too much today, and he is a little out of order. Don't be offended. My brother The two of you still have something to do, so let’s take our leave first.”

After finishing speaking, he pulled the man in brown and turned around to leave, but just as he turned around, before he could take a step, he saw a blue shadow suddenly float in front of his eyes, and saw Zhan Zhao standing upright like a pine, and raised an arm to stop the two of them way to go.

The two were taken aback, looked up, and saw the young man's face was ice-cold, his eyes were like deep pools, staring at them coldly, they couldn't help being shocked, they couldn't say a word.

Ke Zhanzhao didn't speak for a long while, his eyes glanced at the pair of brothers a few times, and then turned his gaze to Jin Qian who was holding a black basin at the door of the satin shop.

Seeing the words and deeds of the two brothers, Jin Qian was also suspicious. Seeing that Zhan Zhao stopped the two of them at this time, and looked at himself, he suddenly understood, and hurriedly asked the black basin in his hand: "Liu Wupen , do you know these two people?"

But the black basin seemed to be dumb, and didn't even make a sound.

Jin Qian became anxious immediately, and raised his voice a little more and asked: "Liu Wupen, we asked you something, did you hear me?"

Wupen remained silent.

Jin Qian raised his eyes to look at Zhan Zhao, saw that Zhan Zhao's face was gloomy, his lips could not be pursed, he could not help feeling cold behind him, he hurriedly put the black basin on the ground, beat it vigorously, and said as he knocked: "You dead black basin, usually I won't let you talk, you're so verbose like a mother-in-law, now I want you to testify, you're pretending to be cool, you don't even dare to fart, if you don't talk anymore, we'll throw you into the cesspit You become a toilet!"

But after knocking for a while, the black basin still remained silent.

Jin Qian had no choice but to stare blankly at Zheng Xiaoliu next to him, hoping that he could come up with an idea, but Zheng Xiaoliu also looked bewildered and at a loss.

I heard the eldest brother among the two brothers over there say: "Brother, why are you blocking our way?"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao stared at the two of them for a long time, then slowly lowered his arms, out of the way, and let the two of them leave.

After the two walked away, Zheng Xiaoliu and Jin Qian hurried to Zhan Zhao's side.Zhan Zhao glanced at Jin Qian, and asked in a low voice, "Why is this so?"

Jin Qian yelled helplessly in his heart, and thought: Mao'er, do you really think we are the reincarnation of a half-immortal?Who knows what kind of madness this black basin is smoking today, suddenly there is no sound, could it be that it fell to the ground just now and broke... Wait, how did this black basin fall to the ground without any problems?And get out of the burden, doesn't he know that he can't bask in the sun... Ah!

Jin Qian's heart tightened, his back broke out in cold sweat, and with a mournful face, he looked up at Zhan Zhao and said, "Master Zhan, when this black basin sees the sun, it's most likely that its soul flew away..."

"What?!" Zhan Zhao and Zheng Xiaoliu blurted out in shock.

Jin Qian was stared at by the two people so that his heart trembled, he thought for a while and said: "Yeah, not necessarily, maybe he will recover after a while..."

Zhan Zhao and Zheng Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words.

After a pause, Zheng Xiaoliu asked: "Lord Zhan, the strange words and deeds of the two brothers must be related to this case, why didn't they be arrested and brought to justice?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "This is just speculation. We have no real evidence. We don't know where the cloud brocade came from, and we don't have a black pot to testify. How can we arrest people randomly?"

Zheng Xiaoliu was speechless for a moment, bowed her head and grabbed her hair.

Jin Qian was even more annoyed, knocking on the black basin vigorously and muttering: "It's all to blame for this Liu Wupen, but there was no movement at the critical moment. It's really not enough to accomplish anything, and more than nothing to fail!"

Jin Qian was knocking vigorously, but saw the black basin suddenly shook, and a voice came out from the basin: "Don't knock!"

When the three of them heard this, they were surprised and delighted, and Jin Qian hurriedly called out: "Liu Wupen, are you still alive?"

Zheng Xiaoliu also called out: "Since you can talk, why didn't you make a sound just now?"

He heard the black pot whisper: "Just now I saw the pair of brothers who killed me. I was so angry that I couldn't control it for a while. Under the violent vibration, I fell to the ground, accidentally shot into the sun, and lost consciousness."

Zhan Zhao was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about those two people who were standing at the door of the satin shop just now?"

Wu Pen said: "It's those two people! Mr. Zhan, why don't you quickly arrest those two people?"

"Catch the fart!" Jin Qian also yelled, "Those two people didn't know where they went!"

"What?! Why let them go? They are the murderers who killed me! Why let them go?!"

Wu Pen yelled loudly, but the three people around him had no time to pay attention.

I saw Zhan Zhao hastily pulled the clerk who was dazed aside, and asked, "Brother, do you know where those two people live just now?"

The guy was so frightened that he nearly fainted when he heard Wu Pen's words just now, he came back to his senses when he heard Zhan Zhao's question, blinked his eyes and said, "You, you mean Uncle Sun and Second Master Sun?"

"...Sun?" Zhan Zhao paused for a moment, and then said, "Exactly. Where do they live?"

The clerk stretched out a trembling finger, pointing to the end of the street: "At the end of this street, there is a courtyard with a cypress tree in front of the door."

Zhan Zhao heard the words, and immediately turned around and ran towards the end of the street. When Jin Qian saw it, he immediately used lightness kung fu and followed closely behind.The two of them were like arrows flying off the string, they disappeared with two swishes, but Zheng Xiaoliu, who was behind him, was so anxious that he could only follow in the loess thrown up behind them.

After a while, Zhan and Jin arrived at the residence of the Wu brothers.Zhan Zhao stopped at the door, looked around, jumped up lightly, and jumped into the courtyard.Jin Qian also jumped in afterward.

I saw that the courtyard is very spacious, with three rows of tile-roofed houses, the main house faces south, and there are east and west wing rooms on both sides.Zhan Zhao's figure was like the wind, he searched around the houses in the courtyard, Jin Qian couldn't follow him, so he had to check in the front and back yards, within a short while, the entire courtyard was searched, but the two found nothing.

"Master Zhan..." Jin Qian looked at Zhan Zhao standing upright in the courtyard with a black basin on his back, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

Zhan Zhao looked around, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the door, and ordered to Jin Qian while walking, "It seems that the two of them have escaped, but the time is short, they must have not gone far, I will catch up quickly, Definitely get it."

When Jin Qian heard this, his spirits were lifted immediately, and he hurriedly followed behind Zhan Zhao.But just as he opened the courtyard door, Zhan Zhao suddenly stopped and stood still.

Jin Qian followed closely behind and almost bumped his nose. Fortunately, he stopped in a hurry and escaped from death.

Just when he was about to complain, Jin Qian suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was not right. He saw Zhan Zhao's back was tense, his hand was tightly clenched with a three-foot giant cock, and his figure was faintly revealing a murderous look.

Then Zhan Zhao shouted in a deep voice: "Brother Wu, don't make the same mistakes again and again!"

Puzzled in his heart, Jin Qian couldn't help poking his head out from behind Zhan Zhao and looking forward.This hope is not a big deal, it almost made Jin Qian fall to the ground.

I saw three people standing upright under the lush cypress tree in front of the courtyard, two of them were the Wu brothers whom I had just met, and the other was an acquaintance. He was tall and thin, with big leopard eyes and a pointed chin. Zheng Xiaoliu behind her.

It should have been a blessing to see the murderer who had fled for many days appear in front of his eyes, but the situation at this time was really tricky.Not for anything else, just because Wu Dali happened to hold a blackened sharp ax in his hand, and the blade of the ax happened to rest on Zheng Xiaoliu's slender neck.

Jin Qian shouted at Liu's Wupan from behind: "This is the axe, and I was killed by this axe!"

Jin Qian didn't know what the straight Zhan Zhao was thinking, anyway, he only had one feeling in his heart at this time: NND, at this time, who cares about studying the great achievements of this ax before, the most important thing at present is: the famous Kaifeng The servants of the government turned into hostages—tsk tsk, such a scandal, cat, how do you end up?
