Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

Zhan Zhao led Bai Yutang into the flower hall, and Bai Yutang told Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun about the strange things that happened on the road, and there was a sudden silence in the flower hall of Kaifeng Mansion.

Mr. Gongsun unfolded a letter and said: "I just received a report from the county magistrate of Qingji Town that several medical clinics in Qingji Town lost medicinal materials for no reason. Is it the same thing that happened on the road?"

Bai Yutang nodded: "That's right, it is indeed Yulin Village and Qingji Town."

Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun looked at each other thoughtfully.

After a while, Master Bao asked, "What do you think, Mr. Gongsun?"

Mr. Gongsun pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, the current incidents in Qingji Town and Yulin Village are the only clues related to the Qinglongzhu case. They should be sent to investigate immediately."

"This government thinks so too." Master Bao nodded, then turned to Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian and said, "Guard Zhan, Captain Jin, this government orders you two to go to Qingji Town and Yulin Village to investigate quickly." After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Two days have passed since the seven-day limit. If there is any clue from Zhanwei's departure, report back quickly. If there is no news, return to the mansion quickly. If there is any other news in the mansion, send a letter with a pigeon. "

"Your subordinates obey." Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian clasped their fists together.

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Lord Bao, Bai Yutang is also willing to do his best."

Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun looked at each other, nodded happily and said, "That's very good, then young hero Lao Bai will go with us."

Mr. Gongsun looked at the three of them, frowned slightly and said: "The case of Qinglongzhu is complicated and confusing, the identity of the person who stole the pearl is unpredictable, and the purpose is unknown. The inferences we are making now are all based on common sense, and there is no evidence to test. You The future of the three of them is unknown, and the danger is unpredictable. According to the students, it is better not to reveal their identities, and it is more appropriate to use unannounced investigations."

"What Mr. Gongsun said is true." Mr. Bao said humanely.

"Your subordinates obey." Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and saluted, and was about to walk out as soon as he turned around.

"Guard Zhan wait a minute." Mr. Gongsun stopped Zhan Zhao, looked at Zhan Zhao with some amusement and said, "Guard Zhan is going to make unannounced visits in such a dress?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at the plain blue shirt on his body, a little puzzled: "Why not?"

Mr. Gongsun sighed, Master Bao, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu also shook their heads.

Zhang Long on the side couldn't bear it any longer, and interjected: "Master Zhan, it's not the same now as before. If Mr. Zhan wears his usual clothes today, I'm afraid he hasn't left the city gate yet, and everyone in Bianliang City, Tokyo, knows about it for twenty miles. Mr. Zhan, the fourth-rank guard with a knife in Kaifeng Mansion, is going out to investigate the case, how can we still make an unannounced visit?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback when he heard the words: "Why did Brother Zhang say that?"

Zhang Long patted his head: "Oh, this, this, this..."

"Guardian Zhan." Mr. Gongsun said seriously, "The name of 'Royal Cat' is widely known now, and even a commoner in Bianjing City has a certain amount of attention to the appearance, clothing, conversation, and preferences of 'Royal Cat'." You can tell a thing or two by a few inches, once the Zhan guards leave the government office, they will naturally attract the attention of thousands of people, how can they hide their whereabouts?"

Zhan Zhao's face darkened.

Bai Yutang burst out laughing loudly: "Hey! Cat, it sounds like you are more famous than that famous oiran in Bianjing!"

"The Chinchilla is also very famous..." Zhao Hu muttered aside.

"Eh?" Bai Yutang was taken aback.

"Bai Shaoxia!" Mr. Gongsun said to Bai Yutang with a straight face, "The joke about the Jin Maoshu's forbidden palace and fighting the imperial cat in the empty island has been popular in the tiles of Bianliang City for several months. Bai Shaoxia's appearance, clothing, conversation and fan 'I'm the only one in the world' is also the most talked about by the people of Bianjing, and now Bai Shaoxia wants to make an anonymous visit with Zhan's guards and others, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Bai Yutang's smiling face froze immediately.

"Mr. Gongsun," Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice with a grim expression, "I don't know why Zhan and Brother Bai have such names..."

"This..." Mr. Gongsun turned his phoenix eyes, aimed at Jin Qian who had been huddled in the corner from the beginning of this topic, and coughed twice.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Jin Qian at the same time, their eyes flickered with unknown light.

Jin Qian suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and a fierce man jumped out from the shadow of the corner, and hurriedly waved his hands: "It has nothing to do with us! It has absolutely nothing to do with it!"

Zhang Long curled his lips: "I don't know who the sixth-rank captain compiled the scene of the decisive battle between Mr. Zhan and Shaoxia Bai in the Forbidden City into 81 paragraphs and sold it to Wasili..."

Zhao Hu scratched his head: "Didn't you, Jin Qian, ask my Master Zhan what kind of snacks he likes to eat on weekdays? The next day, those big girls and daughter-in-laws sent several baskets, and the brothers in our government yamen all ate them." ah……"

The darker Zhan Zhao's face became, the rounder Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes became.

"Brother Zhang...Brother Zhao..." Jin Qian felt chills all over his body, and couldn't help shivering. He aimed at the chief secretary of Kaifeng Mansion, and said secretly: Gongsun Zhuzi, you didn't eat less of those snacks!There is also the income from selling storytelling jokes, except for our own [-]% commission, the remaining [-]% will be confiscated!

Seemingly sensing Jin Qian's silent plea for help, Mr. Gongsun finally opened his mouth to divert everyone's attention: "So, if you want to make an unannounced visit with Guard Zhan and Shaoxia Bai, you'd better go out in disguise."

Zhan Zhao finally calmed down: "Mr. Gongsun please make arrangements."

Bai Yutang also nodded.

Mr. Gongsun nodded: "Please come down to the west wing with Shaoxia Bai and Guard Zhan." After a pause, he said, "Lieutenant Jin, please come along."

"Your subordinate obeys." Jin Qian hurriedly followed behind the three of them.

After half a stick of incense, Jin Qian returned to the flower hall from the west chamber.

I saw Jinqian wearing a loose hemp-colored robe, dangling on his body like a sack, a bun on the top of his head, an extra medicine box on his body, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, on which he wore a On the cloth banner, there are four large characters on it "Miaoshouhuichun".

Zhao Hu suddenly said: "Jin Xiaowei's body...he should be pretending to be a traveling doctor."

Lord Bao nodded: "That's very good. The affairs of Qingji Town and Yulin Village are all related to the medicine of the disease. It's very appropriate to dress like this."

Zhang Long frowned: "But Lieutenant Jin's face hasn't changed at all, isn't he afraid that someone will recognize him?"

Master Bao waved his hand: "It's okay, with Captain Jin's appearance, we believe that as long as Captain Jin changes Kaifeng Mansion's school captain's uniform, it will be difficult for people outside the mansion to recognize his identity."

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately nodded in agreement: "My lord's words are reasonable, Captain Jin is really good-looking..."

Jin Qian's face twitched.

Tsk, isn't it just that we have a popular face?Old Bao, you are always so hurtful—you really have an accent!

"My lord, Zhan Huwei and Bai Shaoxia are all dressed up." Mr. Gongsun walked in and clasped his fists.

Everyone fixed their eyes and saw Mr. Gongsun followed by two people. The man who entered the hall was wearing a black cotton jacket, a black belt, and black cloth boots. He was carrying a black bundle on his back, about three feet long and shaped like a tree. The stick, apparently wrapped with a Qingfeng sword, looked at the face, blue silk and black belt, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and...a big beard covering the lower half of his face...it was the fourth rank of the imperial guard with a sword Zhan Zhao.

"This..." Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were obviously not used to Master Zhan who had suddenly grown a beard.

Mr. Bao was very satisfied and said: "It's so good, the guard Zhan is disguised like this, so no one else will see through his identity."

Jin Qian blinked and muttered to himself: Why does the cat's outfit look familiar?

"Mr. Gongsun...Bai's attire..." Bai Yutang's voice was a bit strange when he entered the hall.

Only then did everyone free their attention and looked at Bai Yutang.

This look immediately shocked everyone in place.

I saw that Bai Yutang was also dressed in black, and his attire was no different from that of Zhan Zhao, but the attire on his face——

Everyone's face twitched.

I saw a big black mole sticking to the right side of Bai Yutang's nose, just right at the so-called "matchmaker's mole". It has at least half an inch of long hair, and when Bai Yutang speaks and breathes, he sways to the left and right, and he is really charming and graceful.

"This, this..." Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stared at Bai Yutang in astonishment, unable to utter a word.

Master Bao coughed dryly: "Ahem, Mr. Gongsun, Shaoxia Bai's outfit..." After half a sentence, he didn't know how to describe it.

The bearded Zhan Zhao looked at his nose and heart with his eyes, as if he was outside the world.

Jin Qian shivered, he couldn't help touching his face.

Bai Yutang saw everyone's expressions, his peach blossom eyes popped out, his face darkened, and he raised his hand to pick off the scab on his face, but before his hand touched his face, he heard Mr. Gongsun who was beside him say indifferently: "What? Could it be that Shaoxia Bai is not satisfied with Gongsun Ce's skills?"

I saw Mr. Gongsun half-closed his phoenix eyes, and smiled elegantly. In an instant, thousands of miles were frozen, thousands of miles were covered with snow, and there was a cold light inside and outside the flower hall.

Everyone trembled at the same time.

Bai Yutang gave a shiver, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, Yutang is very, very satisfied with Mr. Gongsun's skills...!"

Only then did Mr. Gongsun nod his head.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu silently retreated to Jin Qian's side, and whispered: "Captain Jin, thank you for your good looks!"

With lingering fear in his heart, Jin Qian glanced at the long hair on Bai Yutang's "matchmaker mole", nodded, "Thanks, thanks."

Fortunately, we have a popular face, Amitabha!

Then I heard Mr. Gongsun say: "Now go to Jin Xiaowei to pretend to be a foot doctor, Zhan Huwei and Bai Shaoxia might as well pretend to be doctor's assistants. Don't make too much publicity when you go out."

The three of them clasped their fists and took the order.

From the corner of Jinqian's eyes, he glanced at Zhan Zhao, who was dressed in black and full of beards, and Bai Yutang, who was dressed in black, with a mole on the side of his nose and long hair on the top of the mole. Dazzling and familiar, what kind of traveling doctor is this? It is clearly the appearance of a group of gangsters going out to collect protection fees...

-

The voices of people are bustling, the streets are full of shadows, the slanting sun reflects the market town, and the rosy clouds hook the cornices.

When the sun was setting, the streets in Qingji Town were bustling with traffic, people doing business, setting up stalls, shopping, pulling carts, and pulling horses.

On Zhengnan Street of Qingji Town, a small tavern stands facing the street, just across from the largest medical center in Qingji Town - "Lu's Medical Center". Chatting, chatting, and laughing, and a father and daughter singing and singing, adding to the excitement.

"Master, let's order a song." The little singing girl came to a table and begged.

There were four men sitting on the table, one of them impatiently waved his hand and said, "No, no!"

"Master, just order one, my girl can sing all kinds of songs." The old man with a pipa in his hand begged.

"Grandpa, take a look, do we look like people with that spare money? You should go to another table!" another man said.

"Don't pay attention to them, let's talk about something serious!" The first man said mysteriously, "Have you heard that something big happened in Yulin Village!"

"Hey, of course I heard about it. I heard that everyone in that village has a strange disease. Their faces are pale, their bodies are weak, and their pulses are strange. Do you think it's a plague?"

"No way! It's been almost half a month. Except for the people in Yulin Village, no one around here has this disease. I don't think it's a plague."

"That's right, that's right."

"Just talk about what Yulin Village is doing, and talk about things in our town! I heard that the precious medicinal materials in several pharmacies and clinics in the town have disappeared. Do you know about this?"

"I've heard, I've heard, who doesn't know about such a big event?"

"The most outrageous thing is the Lu's Medical Center opposite. It has been stealing medicinal materials for two consecutive days, but the person who stole the things couldn't be caught. Everyone said that something unclean was causing the trouble."

"It deserves it. Those shops are all guys who bully poor people on weekdays. It's good to learn a lesson."

A table of four burst into laughter.

The father and daughter who sang saw that the four of them had no intention of making a song, so they had to turn to another table, but they turned around a lot, but they didn't even sell a single song.

"Father, what should we do?" The little singing girl looked at her father with tears in her eyes.

The old man hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry, girl, let's go to another house..."

"Hey, little girl, order some tunes for this table!" Suddenly a clear voice came from the corner of the tavern.

"Hey! Here we come! Here we come!" The father and daughter were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurried over.

When I came to this table, there were three people sitting around the table. The one in the middle was thin and dressed in long robes. Behind him was a cloth banner with four words "Miaoshouhuichun" written on it. He was eating with his head buried in a big bowl. Congee; the two people on the side are all completely black, and they are carrying something like a stick wrapped in cotton cloth behind their backs. The person on the left sits as straight as a pine, with downcast eyes and a big unkempt beard. Unclear face; the person on the right has a face as smooth as jade, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, and honey-colored lips. It should be a look that makes girls lose their minds when they see it, but they have long lips on the side of the nose. She wore a long-haired black mole, abruptly turning her handsome face into a second-class one.

"Father, looking at the clothes of these three people, they can't be bad guys, right?" the singing girl whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old man hastily stopped the little girl's voice, then turned his head and smiled at the person on the opposite table, "I don't know what song do you guys want to hear?"

"Little girl, what song can you sing?" Yan Zinan said with a smile, it was the clear voice that just called the father and daughter over.

If it wasn't for that mole, the man's smile would definitely be captivating, but now that he has this mole, his smile is indescribably weird.

"I, I..." The little singing girl took a step back with horror on her face, and hid behind her father.

The black-clothed man's smile froze suddenly, as if he had been hit by something, he turned his head and patted the person who was drinking porridge next to him.

The man in the middle lifted his face from the porridge bowl, only then did the father and daughter see clearly that this man was just a young man with narrow eyes.

"Wh, what's the matter?" the boy murmured.

"Brother Bai asked you to order a song for him." The bearded man suddenly said, his voice was as clear as emeralds hitting jade, it was really nice, and the father and daughter couldn't help but look at him more, but it was a pity that the beard covered him. Most of the face was gone, and I really couldn't see the appearance clearly.

"Order?" The thin-eyed boy looked puzzled, "Fifth Master, can't you order it yourself?"

"Brother Bai looks strange, this girl may find it difficult to bear." The bearded man said.

The bearded man snorted coldly.

"Oh~~" The thin-eyed boy suddenly realized, raised his eyebrows and said, "You look so strange..."

The narrow-eyed man glared at the slender-eyed boy.

The narrow-eyed boy shrank his neck immediately, and hurriedly said: "Come on! Let's order a tune now!" After thinking about it for a long time, he said casually, "Then let's sing eighteen touches!"

As soon as this remark came out, the two people on the side immediately stared at each other, and the father and daughter who sold singing were even more terrified.

"Eighteen touches? Brother Jin is so interested! Could it be..." the man raised his eyebrows, glanced at the bearded man and said, "Is this the common preference of Brother Jin's family?"

The bearded man's voice sank: "Change another song!"

The thin-eyed boy shrank his neck again, and his voice was barely audible: "We already know the title of this song..."

"Change another song!" The bearded man's voice was a little higher.

"Change! Change!" The young man hurriedly said, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally gave up and said, "Just sing a song."

Only then did the singing father and daughter heave a sigh of relief, and sang a small tune from their hometown, which was quite charming.

After singing a song, the singing father and daughter made a salute to the three of them and said, "Three Wenqian, thank you three uncles."

But the three of them sat still, and none of them wanted to pay.

The slender-eyed boy glanced at the slender man: "Fifth Master, I'm waiting for you to pay."

Mo Zinan turned his head: "Brother Jin ordered this song, what does it have to do with a 'strange-looking' person like me?"

The boy's face shuddered, and he turned his head to look expectantly at the bearded man.

I saw that the bearded man was as motionless as a bell, unmoved at all.

"Uncle, Uncle..." The voice of the singing girl began to cry.

"Tsk!" The narrow-eyed boy frowned, and took out a penny from his pocket, another penny from his waist, and finally a penny from his leggings, and carefully placed it on the table.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The father and daughter hurriedly saluted in return, took the copper coins and turned to leave.

"Three pennies..." As soon as the singing father and daughter left, the narrow-eyed boy, that is, Jin Qian, immediately lay down on the table and began to silently mourn the three pennies lost outside the budget, with a look of disappointment.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Jin Qian's expression, sighed, and said, "Go back and tell Mr. Gongsun that the three coins should be reported to the public account."

"Thank you Mr. Zhan..." Jin Qian immediately regained his spirits.

Bai Yutang rolled his peachy eyes on the two of them, and said in a little astonishment: "It's only three pennies, you don't have to do that!"

Zhan Zhao frowned: "Brother Bai's words are wrong..."

"Who knows that money in the pocket is hard work!" Qian Qian stood up and interjected.

Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment: "Little Jinzi is quite talented!"

"Fifth Lord, thank you!" Jin Qian cupped his fists.

Zhan Zhao shook his head slightly, then moved his eyes to the Lu's Medical Clinic across the street, his complexion slightly gloomy.

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, and said, "Mao'er, what do you think of Lu's Medical Center having stolen medicinal materials for two consecutive days?"

"It was stolen for two consecutive days, and the third day may be unavoidable."

"Mao'er means that after dark, sneak into the Lu's Medical Center and wait for the rabbit, and meet the thief who stole the medicinal materials for a while?"

"Brother Bai has already thought about it, why bother to ask?"

"Fifth Master, I'm just curious that the guards of the majestic Kaifeng Mansion are also doing stealthy business."

"The famous Chinchilla can be a gentleman, so why not Zhan?"

Jin Qian sighed, and continued to drink porridge in suspense:

Tsk, it's started again, this unnutritious bickering scene has never stopped along the way, it really persecutes the auditory nerves, you said that the combined age of cats and mice is almost half a century, why are they still bickering like children ?

"Shibamo, sir, I won't listen to other songs today except Shibamo!"

Suddenly, a voice resounded through the tavern.

"Pfft..." The rice porridge that Jin Qian had just swallowed spit out.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "It seems that someone shares a hobby with Xiao Jinzi!"

I saw a circle of people sitting at a square table near the window on the south side of the tavern. The people in the next seat were all dressed as family servants. There was a man in the upper seat, dressed in a red satin robe, with a big belly around a big red belt, and a string hanging around his waist. The emerald jade pendant, with decent facial features and shiny hair, is wearing a bun with an emerald green headband tied on it. Holding a wine glass in one hand and a folding fan in the other, she shouted loudly at the father and daughter in the store: " Grandpa, I just want to listen to Shibamo today, sing it quickly!"

"Uncle, Uncle, my daughter is still young, this kind of tune..." The old man who sold and sang bowed and begged.

"Don't sing? If you don't sing, then..." The man narrowed his eyes and smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull the little singing girl into his arms, and said with a smile, "Just drink with me, Mr. Lu!"

All the servants around laughed and said: "Yes, yes, drink with our young master!"

Then someone whispered from below: "Who is this person?"

"You don't know? This is the young master of Lu's Medical Center across the street. He is very famous."

"It's that bully known as Young Master Lu..."

"That's right, it's him!"

"Oh, this is not good."

"Master, master!" The old man who sold and sang hurriedly rushed forward, bowed to Young Master Lu and said, "Please do me a favor, my girl is still young, so I can't..."

First Young Master Lu glanced at the old man with disgust, "Get lost!"

"Uncle, uncle, please!" The old man was also in a hurry, and he rushed up to break Young Master Lu's hands, but before he touched Young Master Lu, he was kicked by the thugs next to Young Master Lu. land.

"It's really a toast and no fine wine. It's a blessing to be admired by my young master just because of your girl's beauty, but she is so ungrateful." A thug spat on the old man's face.

Everyone saw it in their eyes and hated it in their hearts. There were two big and round peasant men at the table next to them and they were about to rush up as soon as they rolled up their sleeves, but they were stopped by the people on the side: "Don't be stupid, this Young Master Lu's family has a head and a face." Master, if you offend him, you will be in trouble in the future."

"That's right, I heard that his family and the county magistrate still have relatives!"

First Young Master Lu swept around the people who dared not speak out, sneered, pressed the singing girl on his lap, and said with a smile: "Come, come, pour me some wine."

The singing girl was trembling with fright, her eyes were full of tears, she just looked straight at the old singing singing man lying on the ground, and said in a sobbing voice: "Father, father..."

The old man lying on the ground also broke down in tears: "My daughter! My daughter... I beg you..."

The sound of crying was clear and ear-piercing in the silent tavern.

Suddenly, there was a whoosh, and a black shadow came through the air, and with a click, it was inserted in the middle of Young Master Lu's table. Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be a signboard with the words "Rejuvenation of the Hand" written on it. Four words.

Everyone was stunned by the flying cloth banner.

"Eh?!!"

Another strange sound came, and I saw Jin Qian in the corner of the tavern with his eyes wide open and his face twitching, as if he was also surprised.

Young Master Lu finally came to his senses, and immediately became furious, and charged at the case, he shouted angrily at the three of them in the corner of the tavern: "His grandma, how dare he manage this young master's head, how courageous!" The thugs waved their hands, "Give it to me!"

A group of thugs immediately rolled up their arms and sleeves and were about to charge forward.

"Wait!" Jin Qian jumped up and waved his hands, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! We don't know why this sign has no reason..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yutang slowly took out a pair of chopsticks, waved his arm lightly, and saw the chopsticks turned into sharp edges, all of them were nailed to Young Master Lu's table. Chopsticks penetrate three points into the wood.

Immediately, Young Master Lu and the others were all frozen in place like stone statues.

Jin Qian stared at First Young Master Lu with his mouth open for a while, then glanced at Bai Yutang beside him, only to see that Bai Yutang was leaning against the side of the table, looking as if he should, and then looked at Zhan Zhao on the other side, Hei Shuo's eyes turned to Bai Yutang, a cold light flashed in them, and they stared at Jin Qian again.

Jin Qian's eyelids trembled unconsciously.

Tsk, this disaster was caused by that white mouse, cat, why don't you go to settle accounts with the white mouse, why are you just staring at us?

Zhan Zhao saw that Jin Qian hadn't moved, he narrowed his starry eyes, and the cold light was even stronger.

Jin Qian couldn't help being shocked, he suddenly realized, his spirits lifted, he suddenly straightened his back, and hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand, let's go now!"

What the cat means is for us to clean up the mess made by this white mouse!Tsk tsk, why don't cats and mice get along?From our point of view, there is a tacit understanding between cat and mouse, one is responsible for making troubles, and the other is responsible for threatening us to deal with the aftermath.

Everyone saw the narrow-eyed young man in the corner walk up to the still sluggish Young Master Lu in two steps, and pulled the daughter of the Wang family over. With a turn of his eyes, he suddenly stepped on the ground with a "dong" sound. On the table, a vicious voice yelled: "This little girl, we...we... that... the Wuzhai Lord of our Evil Mouse Village has taken a fancy to it, get out of here!!"

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and everyone glanced out of the corners of their eyes, as if they saw the man in black with a beard on his face fell from the chair to the ground, but got up again in an instant and returned to his original posture.

And the bearded man in black still stood still, but his shoulders trembled suspiciously.

"Don't get out yet?!" The thin-eyed boy suddenly shouted loudly, scaring the crap out of Young Master Lu and the others, and all the thugs immediately set up Young Master Lu who was already limp, and disappeared in a flash.

The people at the tea stand were left staring at the young man, panicked.

"Did you hear that? Who are you talking about, the Lord of the Five Villages of the Evil Mouse Village?!"

"Oh, it's not a good thing to hear at first glance! It's bad now!"

"This daughter of the Wang family is really suffering. Why did she just get out of the tiger's mouth and then into the wolf's den... Sigh..."

"Hey, stop talking, stop talking, the other two are here."

There was silence in the tea stall, and everyone backed away frequently with horror on their faces, making way for a passage, watching the two people walk straight to the side of the narrow-eyed boy.

The bearded man squatted down and helped up the old singer who was lying on the ground, and took out the broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into his hand. The bearded man pulled the frightened singing girl over to the old singer, and then, The bearded man suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand to pick up the boy's neck and dragged him away, the bearded man shook his head slightly, turned around and pulled out the cloth banner stuck on the table, and followed him out.

The three of them seem to be walking in a leisurely manner, but in the blink of an eye, they are several feet away from the restaurant, and they can only vaguely hear a few words: "Evil Mouse Village?! Wuzhai Lord?! Humph, Now let me, the village master, clean up your little gold!"

"Fifth Master, Fifth Master, you are hurting yourself by being angry, you should calm down first, don't be angry..."

"Smelly cat, don't think I can't see you with a big beard covering your face, you must be laughing there..."

It wasn't until the three of them disappeared that everyone in the tavern breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help expressing their feelings.

"Where is this Evil Rat Village? The people inside are so fierce that they even dare to offend Young Master Lu?!"

"Did you hear, there seems to be some kind of cat, I think that kind of cat is probably the master of this evil rat village..."

Although the voices of these common people were not loud, they followed the wind and every word and every word floated in the ears of the three of them in the distance. They saw the cloth banner in Zhan Zhao's hand tilted slightly, and knocked impartially. It landed on Jin Qian's head.

"Ouch!

-

In the middle of the night, there was silence in Lu's Medical Center, only two night guards were leaning against the door and yawning.

On the roof of the medical building, three figures could be seen faintly. The man in the middle was holding on to the eaves, for fear of slipping down. The man on the right was not moving, and the man on the left was lying leisurely on the tiles. It was Jin Qian, Zhan Zhao, and Bai Yutang.

"You said that the Lu's Medical Center has lost medicinal materials for two consecutive days, so why are there only two gatekeepers?" Jin Qian looked east and west, a little confused.

"Who said there isn't?" Bai Yutang pointed casually, "Three are hidden behind the pillars in the middle hall, five are hidden under the counter, four are behind the door, and there are six in the bushes in the yard. Lu Dashao, there are 19 people in total."

"So many people?" Jin Qian squinted his eyes, "Why didn't we see any of them?"

"It seems that the captain of the Kaifeng Mansion is nothing more than mediocre." Bai Yutang tossed a sentence.

Zhan Zhao's breath stagnated: "Lieutenant Jin, after returning to the mansion, the training time will be increased by half."

Jin Qian trembled in response to the situation: "This subordinate obeys..."

Bai Yutang chuckled, and said again: "Except for that Young Master Lu, all of them have some knowledge in martial arts, that thief better have some kung fu, otherwise, if he wants to get away, it may not be easy."

"Kungfu foundation?" Jin Qian was taken aback, "Isn't it Yizhimei?"

"Yizhimei?" Bai Yutang smiled, "It's not that slob."

"Stealing from the same medical center for two consecutive days will leave too many clues. Yizhimei is the leader of the gangsters. He has always acted cautiously and left no traces, but he made such a mistake." Zhan Zhao said.

"I only robbed one family for two days in a row. If I hadn't had a grudge with this Lu's Medical Center, I would have been a lowly thief. Once I succeeded, I would be complacent and unwilling to change places." Bai Yutang laughed again.

"Hush." ​​Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Here we come."

Jin Qian immediately calmed down and waited and watched.

I saw the bushes in the corner of the backyard wall shaking for a while, and then a short figure crawled out of the bushes.

"He crawled in from a dog hole?" Bai Yutang was even more amused, "He really is a low-class thief."

"It's a child." Zhan Zhao frowned.

Seeing the thief looking around, he quickly walked to the east wing of the medical hall along the shadow under the tree, took out an object from his arms, and fiddled with the lock twice, and the brass lock opened with a click.

Jin Qian couldn't help admiring secretly: Where is it not popular?With the ability to pick locks instantly at such a young age, this one can be called a future star in the world of stealing.

I saw the thief flashing his figure and dodging into the wing room, but after a while, he came out with a burden on his back.

"Have a foundation of lightness kung fu..." Zhan Zhao said.

"And this movement - hey, why does it look familiar?" Bai Yutang was very interested.

"It looks like..." Jin Qian also felt a little familiar.

"Yizhimei!" The three spoke in unison.

Before the three of them finished speaking, they saw that the courtyard was suddenly brightly lit, and a group of people rushed to the backyard and surrounded the thief.

"Hmph, my young master has set up a net today, and you, a thief, can't escape!" Lu Dashao waved his fan, pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of the thief, with a high-spirited expression.

Under the light of the fire, Jin Qian could barely see the thief's figure clearly, he was short and slender, he was indeed a child.

First Young Master Lu also saw the thief's appearance clearly, and sneered for a while: "I thought it was someone who jumped up and down Qingji Town, but it turned out to be just a stinky brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet! Let me arrest you!" , beat him with sticks and send him to the officials for investigation!"

A group of servants surrounded the little thief with knives and sticks in their hands.

The thief backed away frequently, walking in disorder.

"Oh, it looks like this little thief doesn't know how to defend himself." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "My lord, what should I do now?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, and was about to speak, when suddenly, he heard a commotion in the courtyard.

"This stinky boy!"

"Grab him, grab him!"

It turned out that the thief untied a bag from his waist, shook his hand, and scattered a piece of dust of unknown composition, which attracted the attention of all the servants and made them run around like headless chickens. But he took advantage of the chaos and slipped out of the crowd along the wall, and crawled towards the dog hole with a bow.

"Hey! You'll be in trouble if you run away." As soon as Bai Yutang spoke, he flew behind the thief in a flash, and with his long arms, he was about to catch the thief. Tang's hand was still fast, and a thin shadow flew out, someone used a soft whip to roll the thief's waist, took him away from Bai Yutang's side, and flew away.

Bai Yutang turned around, and then galloped to catch up.

Zhan Zhao immediately flew after them, and Jin Qian also hurriedly chased after them.

The three of them are fast-moving, chasing after them closely, and the person who can rescue the thief with a soft whip is also like the wind and lightning, holding the thief with one hand, but his footwork is not compromised at all.

A group of people went forward and the other behind, and they rushed out of the city gate and came to the outskirts in just a moment.

"Really, you're not a stranger, what are you running for?!" Bai Yutang said impatiently, with a flick of his wrist, a locust stone flew straight towards the ankle of the person in front.

The man staggered, and his figure paused. In this moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had already come to the two sides of this man, one on each side sandwiching this man in the middle, and Jin Qian was the slowest in figure. , can only catch up behind this person.

"Meeting by chance, Brother Mei actually left without even saying hello, it's too disrespectful to Bai." Bai Yutang laughed.

"Brother Mei, Zhan has something to ask, please stay here for a while." Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice.

Jin Qian was out of breath, and patted the shoulder of the person in front of him: "You, you have always been ugly... Really, really..."

The person who caused the soft whip turned around slowly, and suddenly he said with a face of enlightenment: "So it's Mr. Zhan, Captain Jin and Brother Bai. The little brother was blind for a while, so I didn't recognize it, I didn't recognize it." The silver hair on the top of his head was shining, With a lazy smile on her face, it was Yizhimei, the "No. [-] Thief in Jianghu".

"Didn't recognize it?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Who in the Jianghu knows that Yizhimei's disguise technique is the best in the world, maybe our little trick won't catch Brother Mei's eyes, right?"

"Brother Bai has won the prize. Brother Bai's outfit is really unexpected. Yizhimei asked herself that she has never had such a skill in disguising people like this.
