Bai Yutang went outside to find a place to vomit, and the fifth master was also a little helpless, fortunately he only ate a little bit just now, and it was not too unpalatable, but when he thought of those fat bugs, his stomach turned upside down.
I just arrived at the teahouse opposite the restaurant, asked for a pot of tea to rinse my mouth, and after thinking about it, Bai Yutang asked the old man who poured him tea, "There are no insects and cat feces in this tea."
The old man smiled and waved his hand, "No, there is mint here, I see several people like you every day, and they all come out to rinse their mouths after eating the Heavenly Star Seven Treasure Banquet." ” Bai Yutang reluctantly took a sip of tea, but it was indeed fresh and delicious.
When the old man saw Bai Yutang drinking tea, he smiled and arched his hand to him, "Congratulations." ” Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, looked at the old man, "Congratulations on what" The old man looked at him puzzled, "Didn't your sweetheart's father force you to eat the Heavenly Star Seven Treasures Banquet, you ate it to mean that the family agreed." ” Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, looking at the old man, "What do you agree or disagree?"
"Oh."
The old man touched his beard, "Your sweetheart didn't explain it to you."
As soon as Bai Yutang heard the words "sweetheart", Zhanzhao's face popped out of his head, so he was in a better mood, and asked the old man, "Tell me in detail" The old man took the teapot and said, "Although this Tianxing Qibao Banquet is actually quite expensive, the taste is also very good, the locals can get used to it, especially the children like it very much, but the outsiders are definitely not used to eating it, it's not that the taste is bad but scary." ” Bai Yutang nodded and felt empathy.
"You have to have courage to eat the Seven Treasures of the Heavenly Star Feast."
The old man said, "If a foreigner wants to marry a native person, it is customary to eat the Seven Treasures Banquet of the Heavenly Star, which means that he has the courage to share hardships and hardships, especially men, and it is a sign of responsibility so that I will not be bullied by girls."
Young people don't pay much attention to it now, but the old people still care a lot.
And it is said that after eating the Seven Treasures of the Heavenly Star, there will be three gods of heaven, earth and man to take care of it, and this relationship can blossom and bear fruit.
Even if you don't eat outside, when you come to the door to propose, the adults in the family will cook it for you, and you have to eat at least half of the pot.
The cooking in this house is not as delicious as the cooking in the restaurant, and it is often a pot of insects delivered to the eyes.
If you don't dare to eat it, the adults in the family will be unhappy.
After eating in the restaurant, the family said that they had already eaten it, and the family would not embarrass you."
Bai Yutang was surprised, "It turns out that there is such a statement" "Look at your Si Wenwen, I guess I don't dare to eat it, there must be elders from Tianxing Village in your sweetheart's family, and I am afraid that you will be forced to eat a pot of worms at that time, so I will take you to the restaurant to eat."
The old man smiled and stroked his beard, "It's a good thing to hurt, it's a blessing." ” Bai Yu came to his senses, so it was, Zhanzhao also brought a lot of people to eat together, so that if an elder in the Demon Palace asked, everyone would be able to testify that he had eaten, it turned out that the cat didn't simply want to play a prank and tease him, but there was such a reason.
Bai Yutang was in a good mood, and took out the tea money, so that the old man didn't have to look for it.
The fifth master also touched a piece from the money bag and gave it to the old man, without carefully studying whether it was silver or gold, the old man received a piece of gold in his hand, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Short oil mother, guest officer, you are enough to buy my tea stall and be rich." ” Bai Yutang smiled slightly, signaling the old man not to mind.
However, the old man was still a little embarrassed and said, "This son, do you exchange it for silver, and the elderly people in Tianxing Village don't dare to accept more than one or two gold." ” Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, puzzled, "Why is this?"
"Hey," the old man said helplessly, "There may be a thief hiding in this Tianxing Village." ” Bai Yutang looked at the old man and waited for him to continue.
"The old people of Tianxing Village are used to giving gold ornaments when they hire their daughters, and there are treasures everywhere near this village, whether it is a dealer, who doesn't have any dry goods," the guy said, "but I have stolen several in a row, and all of them have been stolen from gold." ” Bai Yutang frowned, "Didn't you report to the official?"
"Report" The old man was helpless, "it was still stolen and the government couldn't catch any thieves, and when he saw that he didn't die, he lost money, so he didn't pay much attention to it." ” Bai Yutang thought about it for a while, and then asked, "I heard that a peasant woman was robbed and killed before."
"Oh, I must have done it alone," said the old man, very surely.
"So sure," Bai Yutang wondered.
The old man nodded, and crossed his fingers to tell Bai Yutang about the common denominator of the crime, "The objects of theft are all old people, no matter what they have, they just take gold, and they are all gold jewelry, at least one or two more than the old people are silent, and even the neighbors don't know that they have such a gold ornament in their hands, and then they come and go without a trace, and no one has even seen a figure so far."
Bai Yutang felt that it was indeed quite suspicious, "What else were stolen, but there were no fatalities, so they couldn't be killed, do you know?"
The old man pointed to a house not far away, and said, "There, there lived a Li Yuanwai, who always came to me for tea, and a month ago he was stolen from an old and valuable gold ornament, and his family had money, but the thief didn't steal anything else, so he stole the gold ornament."
It is said that it is the dowry prepared by the family for the daughter, and it is very awkward to lose it, and it feels unlucky. ” Bai Yutang nodded, exchanged the old man's silver, and ran back to the inn.
So, Bai Yutang came back and told everyone that he had found a clue.
Bai Yutang will be in the teahouse opposite, what the old man said, about the matter of gold, of course, omitted the old man's statement about the Heavenly Star Seven Treasures Banquet The demon is not allowed to run.
After hearing this, everyone decided to finish their meal and ask the outsider.
At the same time, Zhanzhao is aiming at Bai Yutang, you will reward others with a piece of gold when you drink tea, how rich you are Bai Yutang smiled, and there happened to be a plate of fried shrimp-like things on the table, so he took a pair of chopsticks and sent them to Zhanzhao's mouth.
When everyone finished eating the banquet and paid the bills and left, the diners in the lobby all bowed their hands to everyone and said something, "Congratulations, a hundred years of good together, and an early birth of a noble son" Except for Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, everyone else felt inexplicable.
Zhan Zhao looked at the sky and pretended not to hear.
Bai Yutang walked with a smile, pretending not to hear.
Out of the restaurant, everyone rushed to Li Yuanwai's house.
Bai Yutang thought about it as he walked, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this cat was intimate.
Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang looking at himself while walking, that look Zhan's guards were a little puzzled, and Yutang went out to drink herbal tea or soup just now, so happy The Li Mansion is not a few steps away.
Ouyang slammed the door, and not long after, a guy opened the door, poked his head out to look, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Li Yuan outside?"
Zhan Zhao asked.
The guy looked everyone up and down and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Zhanzhao took out his waist card, "I'm an official" "The master is not at home."
The guy hurriedly replied.

Everyone was slightly stunned.
Zhao Pu touched his chin, this guy felt confused when he heard that Zhanzhao was an official, this is obviously a ghost in his heart.
Zhan Zhao naturally saw that something was wrong, so he said, "It's okay, we heard that your house was stolen, so" "No" the guy quickly shook his head, "nothing was lost" After speaking, he hurriedly closed the door.
Everyone frowned.
Xiao Liangzi pouted, "Hmph, there are no silver nine hundred taels here" Xiao Sizi blinked, "Xiao Liangzi, there are no three hundred taels of silver here." ” Xiao Liang said seriously, "It is three times more serious than the three hundred taels of silver here." ” Xiao Sizi opened his mouth, "Oh, I see." ” Everyone exchanged glances with each other, Zhao Pu and the others found a nearby tea shop to sit on, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang flashed, went up to the courtyard wall, and slipped into the Li Mansion.
The man closed the door and ran to the mansion in the distance.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw it from a distance and jumped to follow.
Both of them were good at light work, and soon caught up with the guy, unknowingly.
The guy rushed into a yard.
I saw a fat old woman standing at the door of the house in the courtyard, and several maids behind her, their expressions seemed to be very anxious.
Seeing the guy running in, a girl hurriedly asked, "Is the master back?"
The guy shook his head, "It's not that I will be reincarnated as a concubine." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hid behind the rockery, and glanced at each other, it turned out that Li Yuanwai was really not there, so the guy didn't lie, but why were they so flustered The two of them continued to watch, and then the fellow continued, "It's an official errand." ” The old lady was stunned, "Why did the official errand come to the lord and have an accident?"
"Madam, don't think nonsense, no," a few girls hurriedly advised.
"Oops" The old lady seemed to be a little broken, she couldn't stand steadily, and she began to cry when she grabbed the ground, "What is this called, the old man has been going for two hours when he is old, why don't you come back and fight again, in case something happens to him, hey, I can't live" A few maids hurriedly persuaded them.
The guy also said, "Madam, don't be impulsive, the lord has told you not to report to the official, if you report to the official, you can't get the things back, and the lord will be in danger." ” The old and young in the family were so anxious that they were like ants on the hot pot, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also at a loss to understand what was going on Just as he was puzzled, he saw an old man coming from the other side.
The old man was dressed in black civilian clothes, looking quite wealthy, and carrying a small bag in his hand.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he frowned, "Why are you crying so that you don't make a noise?"
"Master" and several subordinates were surprised and delighted.
The old lady also folded her hands and said to the sky, "Amitabha" Li Yuanwai sent away the maid's subordinates, entered the house with the old lady, and closed the door.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went up to the roof, lifted the tiles and continued to peek.
Then the old man opened the baggage, took out a brocade box from it, and when he opened the brocade box, there was a luxurious pure gold neck ornament.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other.
"Ugh."
The old lady asked the old man, "So, those thieves stole us by mistake."
The old man nodded, and then glared at the old woman, "It's all your fault, why did you come back with your stuff?"
"Tsk" The old lady was not happy, "Isn't that a dowry for your daughter?"
"It's okay to hit the right bracelet, hit such a thing," the old man pouted, "If it weren't for the help of the old man Feng this time, this thing would be gone, and the gold would be small, how ugly it will be to spread out, if you get married, your husband's family will lose something, and it should be said that your daughter has lost her husband's family." ” "So Amitabha," the old lady thanked the Bodhisattva again, and seemed to be a little uneasy, "They just returned it to us and didn't say anything else."
"Yes," the old man nodded, "I want to change it when I go to Old Man Feng, and the people over there ask me where you got this gold ornament." ” "Isn't it the gold shop in Chengqiao, this still needs to be asked," the old lady wondered.
"There are at least 20 gold shops in Chengqiao, which family needs to be asked."
The old man was helpless, and waved his hand, "Anyway, this matter is solved, don't ask about you, a woman."
After that, I packed up my things and got ready to rest.
Bai Yutang frowned and was trying to figure out which gold shop it was, but he felt Zhanzhao tugging on his sleeve and snorting at the side, which meant to withdraw from the Demon Capital Bai Yutang followed Zhan Zhao away.
After leaving the Li Mansion and entering the tea shop, Zhanzhao took out the bamboo tube and released the golden shell before he sat down.
Not long after, a sudden gust of wind blew outside, and the sand and rocks flew away.
When everyone looked out, they saw a white-bearded old man in a big gray robe running in with the wind, "Zhaozhao" Zhan Zhao also greeted Meizizi, "old man" The old man ran to the table and called Zhanzhao while patting Bai Yutang on the shoulder, "Oh, little white boy, you are also there, ahaha, aha." ” Everyone looked up, left and right, and the old man looked sixty or seventy years old, with a snow-white beard hanging down to his chest, and a smile on his face, happy.
Bai Yutang did go to the Demon Palace once, but in a hurry, he didn't recognize most of the demons clearly, is this Zhan Zhao introduced, "This is the wind and the wind. ” Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo raised their eyebrows.
Lin Yehuo was surprised, "The old man is the legendary omniscient and omnipotent wind legend" The old man grinned smugly, "Yes, Hall Master." ” Zhao Pu was puzzled, "Who is the wind spreading?"
Bai Yutang said, "The wind is the inquiring of the rivers and lakes, and he knows everything on the rivers and lakes."
In addition, if anyone wants to buy news or make a deal with each other, just find him separately and he will help with the match. ” Feng Chuanfeng smiled and patted Bai Yutang, "Oh, it's really insightful." ” Everyone couldn't cry or laugh, everyone in the Demon Palace felt that Bai Yutang had robbed their little palace master, and now the elders of the Demon Palace looked at how Bai Yutang looked at it.
Bai Yutang also seemed to understand, "Oh, just now Li Yuanwai said that he was looking for Old Man Feng to help, and it was you who he was talking about."
Feng Chuanfeng was stunned, "You say Li Bi" Zhan Zhao pulled the old man Feng to sit down beside him and told him about the matter.
"Oh" Feng Chuanfeng nodded, "That Li Yuanwai's name is Li Bi, a wine seller, and you know your nine-headed aunt, who said before that a set of gold ornaments at home was lost, and it was his daughter's dowry, and he wanted to get it back." ” "Now that it's been recovered," Zhanzhao excited, "Then you know who those thieves are" "Is this?"
Feng Chuanfeng was helpless, "You also know that your Grandpa Feng is all blind in the dark, collecting money and doing things, I only know that there is more than one thief, they seem to be a group of people."
The gold jewelry of Li Yuanwai's house was stolen by mistake, and it looked like a mold, but it was not genuine, so they wanted to know which gold shop made the goods. ” "Where is the city bridge?"
asked Bai Yutang.

"Chengqiao is on the west side of Tianxing Village, a street market in Linxian County, where there are all craftsmen."
Zhan Zhao helped introduce, "There are hundreds of gold shops, silver shops, jade shops, ivory carving shops, etc. ” "There is also this kind of place, where do you have to go and see" Pang Yu came to his senses, and Bao Yan also nodded.
"Many of the craftsmen in the bridge are not visible, and the market is open during the day and closed at night, and no one will spend the night in the shop.
And the shop doesn't have a door number, it is often changed, and the work is good to find a reliable person to send to the door, and there is no need to pick up the goods.
Zhan Zhao said, "If you want to visit, you can only wait until tomorrow dawn, and if you are not familiar, it is difficult to find someone." ” "It's so chaotic, it's all gold, silver and jade, I'm not afraid of running away with money or meeting scammers," Bao Yan asked.
Feng Chuanfeng shook his head, "No one has the courage to be reborn as a concubine and bewitching" Everyone was curious.
Zhan Zhao squinted, "Chengqiao is the territory of the camel, he knows who the seller is, and who dares to cheat, then wait for death." ” Everyone was shocked.
The little fourth son is curious, "the camel" "I've heard that."
Zhao Pudao, "He's also from the Demon Palace."
"That's right."
Wind Breeze nodded.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the camel is a nickname, this person's real name is unknown, only the surname is Ming, and he is a hunchback, so he is called the camel.
This person also has a nickname called Hades Turtle, and he was a big villain who shook the world back then, and one of the top ten masters of the Demon Palace.
In addition, because this person is good at tracking, once he is targeted, it will be like provoking the spirit behind him, and he will also find you at the ends of the earth, so the first person on the list of "least unprovoked" in the rivers and lakes is this person.
Bai Yutang was very curious and asked Zhanzhao, "How good is his kung fu?"
"It's about the same as Uncle Wu."
Zhan Zhao Road.
Everyone was shocked that there were many such peerless masters in the Demon Palace "That Li Yuanwai only knows that his wife is looking for a gold shop shopkeeper surnamed Chen to create this set of gold jewelry."
Old man Feng said.
"That means to say," Zhan Zhao clapped his hands, "Uncle Hades knows which shop it is" "That's for sure."
Old man Feng nodded, tomorrow is the day to settle the accounts, and he is estimated to go to Chengqiao with the sick scholar.
As soon as everyone heard this, it happened that if they found the gold shop shopkeeper surnamed Chen one step ahead of the gang of thieves, they would probably find other clues.
In addition, if they waited near the gold shop, they had a good chance that they could directly catch those thieves.
Everyone felt that it was a godsend, so they went back to the house together.
While walking, the old man asked Zhanzhao, "Have you had dinner?"
"Eat."
Zhan Zhao smiled and emphasized, "Eat the Seven Treasures of the Heavenly Star." ” Xiao Sizi also nodded, "Well, Tianxing Qibao is so scary, but it's delicious." ” "Hahaha."
The old man smiled heartily and nodded, "I've already eaten it, that's good, I'll go back and tell Jiuniang that they don't have to prepare, it's quite troublesome to do." ” Zhan Zhao nodded, "That's right, we ate a table, and we ate all seven things." ” The old man nodded with satisfaction, holding Xiao Sizi and holding Xiao Liangzi, laughing as he walked.
Bai Yutang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if he really arrived at the Demon Palace, it would be terrible to be forced to eat a pot of Heavenly Star Seven Treasures, the old man was right just now, this cat hurts people Back at the house, Bai Yutang took a shower and came out, but Zhanzhao was missing from the room.
As soon as he sat down to wipe his hair, he saw the door open, and Zhanzhao ran in and closed the door.
Bai Yutang saw that Zhanzhao was wearing a large bathrobe, and there seemed to be something hidden in the bathrobe.
Zhanzhao ran to the door and took out a soup can and shoved it into his hand.
When I opened the lid during the day, I saw a jar of millet porridge.
The porridge is light and light, with shredded chicken and vegetables in it.
Zhan Zhao smiled and climbed onto the bed, lying on the futon and rubbing Xiao Wu's big head next to the bed.
Bai Yutang was holding a porridge jar, just as he was also hungry, and while drinking, he sighed that in addition to shredded chicken, dried scallops and frangipani in this porridge, the taste was just right, that is, who put half a catty of honey in the salty porridge, and the sweetness died:
