After leaving from the military headquarters, it was already noon, and everyone ran to Taibaiju for lunch, while discussing how to go next.
As soon as I entered the gate of Taibaiju, I saw Xiao Liuzi running over to greet him.
Zhan Zhao looked at the lobby, in the past, the hall was full of people who had a meal in Taibaiju, but today it was empty and empty.
"Little Six Paper."
Xiao Sizi sat on Xigulu's shoulder, and asked Xiao Liuzi curiously, "Won't it open today?"
Xiao Liuzi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I won't come to eat today, I guess I went to the north of the city to see the excitement."
Everyone was a little puzzled to see the excitement Zhanzhao's eyelids twitched, and usually when he was lively, it meant that he was in trouble.
And there is not much else in Kaifeng City, that is, there are many foodies, for foodies, everything can be less, but noon must not be less, how lively the group of foodies did not even eat lunch, and ran to see "What's going on again" While following Xiao Liuzi upstairs, Gongsun asked.
"Tsk."
Xiao Liuzi smiled and said, "The gate of the city in the north of the city is open today, and several families who have come to participate in the birthday banquet are going to enter the city. ” Zhao Pu thought for a while, "Oh, it seems that the birthday centaurs of Liao and Xixia will come today, so Ouyang disappeared early in the morning." ” "Just to see this" Zhanzhao felt bored, it was better to eat.
"The people in Kaifeng City mainly go to see the cats," Xiao Liuzi replied.
"Cat" Bai Yutang raised his head.
Zhanzhao also pricked up his ears, "look at the cat" "Don't you know, Lord Zhan," Xiao Liuzi said, "The emperor's birthday is to be celebrated for three days, and one day there is a cat appreciation conference, and the famous cats sent from all over the country will compete." ” The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched slightly, why did he want the cat to pay tribute from all over the country, why go directly to the red cherry village to find it in his cat nest, and go to Kaifeng Mansion to shout, and gather hundreds.
"Are there a lot of cats?"
Bai Yutang asked.
"That's right," Xiao Liuzi said, "The first wave just came in just now, and I deliberately didn't use a cloth to cover it, just look at it, some are big and some are small, and it is said that there are those that look like little tigers, and their tails are like feather dusters." ” Bai Yutang touched his chin lightly and raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Pu shook his head, Zhao Zhen, this is purely in the mood of looking for something to do.
Gongsun held a teacup and said, "I used to read a cat book, compiled by a cat lover, it is said that there are thousands of cats in the world, with different qualities and different personalities, and the color of the eyes alone has a kind of change." ” The little fourth son dragged Xigulu.
Xigulu looked up at the little fourth son on his shoulder, "Little persimmon paper, I'm hungry, I'll go after eating."
Xiao Liuzi lowered his voice and said, "There are also delicious restaurants in the north of the city, and they are also discounted and cheaper by taking advantage of today's opportunity, so the regulars are going to go there." ” Everyone couldn't laugh and look at Xiao Liuzi's shopkeeper who gave him less wages, this is inside and out.
The fourth son dragged his grandson.
Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu.
Tianzun and Yin Hou had already stood up and were ready to shift their positions.
Zhan Zhao always felt that there would be some unwarranted disaster if he went like this, after all, he was looking at the cat and asked Xiao Liuzi, "Let's just leave, the shopkeeper shouldn't scold you" Xiao Liuzi smiled and rubbed his hands, "Where can I be?"
As soon as Xiao Liuzi finished speaking, he saw the fifth master hand over an ingot, stood up, and hooked his finger at Zhanzhao, which meant to change places to eat Zhanzhao was dragged up speechlessly, and when everyone went downstairs, they saw Xiao Liuzi happily running to see the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper received the ingots and praised him for his cleverness while putting it on the account, and he didn't have to start the stove to make money Speaking of looking at the cat, Zhan Zhao was quite reluctant and walked forward with a wrinkled nose.
Yin Hou teased him, "That's your brothers and sisters, what's wrong with you going to take a look?"
Zhan Zhao sighed, Zhao Zhen didn't appreciate flowers or dogs for no reason, but he just engaged in this cat appreciation conference, he always felt full of malice, and he had to pay attention When he arrived in the north of the city, he saw a sea of people, and Ouyang Shaozheng asked the Imperial City Army to block the crowd on both sides, and the road was vacated for carriages and horses to enter.
The north gate of the city was wide open, and the brigade was entering the city in batches.
Because entering the city requires strict inspection, the speed is not very fast, probably each family also wants to make a noise or something, and several families have put a few cats outside for the people of Kaifeng City to enjoy.
Zhanzhao pouted, "It's all in the cage."
The little fourth son sat on Xigulu's shoulder, nodding while watching, "The cats are so pitiful, they are all in the cage." ” On the side, a voice came, "It is said that the emperor wants to build a cat park in the harem, and these cats will eventually live in the imperial palace and eat the imperial food, which is not pitiful at all." ” When they followed the sound, they saw a man standing beside them with a smile on his face.
Zhan Zhao and the others were slightly stunned, full of Muhua.
Manji Shao's owner also came to see the cat Man Muhua picked up a few cartons from a shop behind him and placed them on the table outside, and distributed them to Zhanzhao and the others, "Remember to come and patronize." ” The crowd was a little puzzled as they held the box.
Yin Hou opened it and saw two delicate round pastries inside, this time it was not dumplings or sugar, but cat-faced steamed buns.
This steamed bun is black and white, and a white cat is fat and beautiful, smiling.
The other black cat is fierce and furious, fried, how to look like Zhanzhao.
Xiao Sizi opened his mouth wide, "like a cat" Zhanzhao felt that his knees hurt, his teeth hurt, and his head hurt.
On the side, many big girls and little daughters-in-law are buying, and they are talking about it while buying, saying that this cat steamed bun is so cute, it looks like Zhanzhao is reluctant to eat it and take it home to offer.
The fourth son said to Man Muhua, "Why are you always like this, you have to share the money with the cat." ” Man Muhua looked dazed and asked, "Which cat is the fourth child, that's what you said, animals are different from people, I do this according to kittens, and you also let me share the money with cats."
The little fourth son looked at Man Muhua.
Everyone was a little speechless, this Man Muhua is quite serious, he suffered a loss from the fourth son before, and this time he is thinking about winning back a game.
The little fourth son was very dissatisfied with his arms and cheeks, knowing that he was doing bad.
Zhanzhao wanted to help the little fourth son, but he didn't want to share the money with Man Muhua, and Man Muhua was obviously competing with the little fourth son.
However, Gongsun and Zhao Pu stopped him, which meant that the little fourth son would solve it by himself.

The fourth son and Man Muhua looked at each other.
Man Muhua's face was full of pride, and he felt that this was a win, and the shopkeeper on the side wiped his sweat, and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion should not know that their young master was naïve and competitive.
Xiao Sizi looked at the cat-faced steamed bun in his hand, and then looked at Man Muhua, seemingly a little hesitant.
Xigulu didn't know what was going on at all, and after watching the cat for a while, he felt hungry and wanted to eat, and when he saw that the little fourth son wanted to say something but couldn't say it, he asked, "Little persimmon paper, what are you doing?"
"Hmm," Xiao Sizi hesitated, "I thought of a way, but it was too ruthless, not very good, and I had to be kind." ” Gongsun and Zhao Pu glanced at each other.
Mu Hua smiled on the side, "Little fourth son, you're welcome, ahaha, you can raise any opinions, after all, I also have a share of your share of the business I remember." ” Gongsun is also angry, this Man Muhua is more serious than a child, be careful Xiao Sizi glanced at Man Muhua, and finally seemed to be ruthless, reached out and took out a black cat steamed bun and handed it to Bai Yutang.
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to take the steamed bun, and was puzzled, when he heard the little fourth son say, "Baibai, anyone can gnaw the cat's face in the future."
"Poof" Tianzun, who had just eaten half of the steamed bun, squirted out half of the steamed bun in his mouth that he hadn't had time to chew, and Zhao Pu, who was about to bite it, silently put the steamed bun back.
Gongsun rubbed the ass of the little fourth son, oops, how did you come to this trick, there is no injustice and no revenge.
The little fourth son hugged his arms and self-reflected, it was really too ruthless, and he felt guilty after speaking.
Look again I saw the fifth master holding the steamed bun, and after being expressionless for a while, he turned his face and looked at Mu Hua gloomily.
Man Muhua opened his mouth wide.
Looking at Bai Yutang and looking at Xiao Sizi are naturally different feelings.
The shopkeeper hurriedly came up to relieve the siege and said, "My young master made these boxes to play, and our shop doesn't sell steamed buns, so we won't do it in the future." ” Bai Yutang thought about it and still didn't feel very comfortable, so he took out the silver and bought the rest of the cat steamed buns.
Zhan Zhao looked speechlessly, let people send all the steamed buns to Baifu's Bai Yutang rat, you are not idle Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, cat, you eat less at lunch, and let's eat steamed buns when we go home.
Zhan Zhao looks to the sky.
Man Muhua grinded his teeth and looked at the little fourth son, you are ruthless, you are a little ball The little fourth son twisted his face and hummed Gongsun and Zhao Pu glanced at each other, and the group was quite imposing.
Man Muhua, who was still defeated in the second encounter, decided to regroup and think of other moves.
Zhan Zhao didn't have the heart to tease him, so he happened to meet here, the military department had just been killed, and there were paintings of his house on the wall.
Zhan Zhao asked Man Muhua, "Young owner, you have been here just now" "Hmm" Man Muhua nodded, he also had serious business, he didn't come to compete with the little fourth son, so he told everyone, "There are a lot of foreigners coming into the city today, let's send some tastings, and if they like it, they can buy it." ” "Oh" Zhanzhao nodded, and asked again, "The hanging painting in your main shop, haven't you lent it to anyone during this time?"
Man Muhua was slightly stunned, a little puzzled, "What does Lord Zhan mean by this, something must have happened?"
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu.
Both nodded, feeling that they could speak directly.
Zhan Zhao pointed to a restaurant in front of him, which meant finding a place with few people and sitting down to talk Man Muhua felt that something might have happened, so he nodded, entered the restaurant with everyone, and asked for a private room to sit down.
After chatting a few words, Man Muhua was surprised, "The soldier Langzhong was killed, and there was a blood picture on the wall that I remembered."
Zhan Zhao nodded.
Man Muhua clutched his chest, "My mother, Lord Zhan, don't scare me, I'm an honest person."
Everyone squinted at him, and you still have the face to say that you are honest The little fourth son took a string of balls and aimed at him.
Man Muhua waved his hand, that means let's not joke, "Can I see that mold?"
Zhan Zhao took out the skin.
At this time, the blood on the skin had already dried up, and after it was spread out on the table, Man Muhua frowned, "It's really exactly the same as the heirloom in my store."
"Are you sure it's exactly the same?"
asked Gongsun.
Man Muhua nodded, "I've been staring at it since I was a child, this is definitely a copy of the hanging painting in my house."
"Someone has come in and you are going to redraw it," Bai Yutang asked, "even the size is about the same." ” "It's impossible to remember that people come and go during the day, and people watch them, and they lock the door at night, is it because someone slipped in at night" Man Muhua said, and said to everyone, "This is obviously a false accusation."
Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Whether it is a false accusation or not is another matter, why do you think the murderer left this painting of Fishtail on the wall?"
Man Muhua scratched his head, "Then who knows, it's evil."
"Do you have any enemies?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
"Uh" Man Muhua was slightly stunned, a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, but then he shook his head.
Zhan Zhao's eyes were sharp, so he naturally saw it, so he said, "Do you know that you are suspicious, and you can close the store for investigation." ” Man Muhua naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.
"You're still going to have something to say."
Zhao Pu reminded.
Man Muhua nodded lightly and looked at the little fourth son.

The fourth son and Xigulu were having dinner, they didn't care much about the case, and when they saw Man Muhua looking over, the little fourth son was puzzled.
"Didn't Xiao Sizi ask me to send some of the money to those victims of Xu Ji's case that day," Man Muhua said.
Everyone nodded.
Gongsun glanced at the little fourth son, he didn't know that there was such a thing, the little guy was getting more and more right.
Man Muhua frowned and said, "I asked my subordinates to do it, most of the people feel good when they get the money, some of them have already moved away, but there is a family that is very strange." ” "Strange" is puzzled.
Man Muhua asked everyone to eat first, and he asked his men to go down to Man Ji to call someone to come.
After a while, a young man ran in, "Young owner." ” When they looked up, they saw that the young man had gauze wrapped around his head, and it seemed that he was wounded.
Man Muhua asked him to tell him about the money that day.
The young man sighed, it turned out that he was responsible for sending money to the three families, the front two were quite normal, and the third lived an old man, seventy or eighty years old, and when he first knocked on the door, he opened the door very politely.
But as soon as he said that he was full of memories and came to give him money, the old man suddenly became angry, chased after him with a cane, and said, "It's not that the time has not come for retribution, but wait for retribution."
Everyone frowned.
"That old man's daughter, wife and grandson all died in the Xu Ji case, leaving him alone."
Manmuhua Road.
"Maybe it's anger."
Zhao Pudao, "It's understandable, after all, there was nothing left overnight." ” "But it's not that simple," Man Muhua asked the young man to continue.
The man said, "I was beaten by him and ran straight with my head in my hands, and I heard him shouting from behind, saying that the ghost has come to the door, and the day has come when you will be full of children and grandchildren, and you will never be able to live forever." ” Everyone was stunned.
"You say this old man is weird," said the man, "the first time I heard a curse say that people died in the belly of a fish, do they think we are going to be flooded or something?"
Everyone is very concerned about the phrase "bury in the belly of the fish", which is completely the curse of the fishtail Man Muhua was helpless, "At first, I thought it was the old man talking nonsense, but he cursed me Manji, not Xu Ji, I was also restless for this matter today, and I always felt that something was wrong, and it was really something." ” "What have you done to make people curse your family for cutting off your children and grandchildren?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
Man Muhua looked at the sky and shook his head, "Heaven and earth conscience, no" "What about your ancestors," Bai Yutang asked.
Man Muhua looked worried, "I'm also afraid of this." ” And all the people looked at him.
"What do you mean," Zhao Pu asked.
Man Muhua spread his hands, "Isn't this normal, you don't know everything about what your ancestors have done, have you ever had the experience of suddenly someone coming to the door to seek revenge, and then you don't know the enemy family at all and don't offend the enemy family?"
After Man Muhua asked, everyone was silent for a while, and then turned their faces to look at Bai Yutang together.
Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun with a teacup, Tianzun looked out the window Oh, the white cat looks like a little mouse and is so cute "Have you had this kind of experience recently" Zhanzhao listened to Man Muhua's words, and it seemed that there was still a hidden secret.
Man Muhua hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "There is one thing that I actually want to go to Kaifeng Mansion for, but I am afraid that it will make a big deal and affect the business of my store." ” "What's wrong?"
asked Gongsun.
"Not long ago, I found that someone had been given a laxative in a batch of bean paste filling for sugar cakes in the store."
Manmuhua Road.
The crowd was amazed.
"There is such a thing" Gongsun frowned, "Sugar cakes are mostly eaten by children and the elderly, and the stomachs of children and the elderly are particularly fragile. ” Man Muhua nodded, "Since the accident back then, my family has a set of methods for testing drugs, and every process has to be tested for drugs, and before going out, it will go through several inspections before going out before there is no accident." ” "Someone really poisoned your family," Gongsun asked.
Man Muhua nodded, "Fortunately, I found out, I am very careful when I buy things outside." ” Zhan Zhao and others can't help but think of the Xu Ji case many years ago.
"Is the case back then really conclusive?"
Bai Yutang asked suddenly.
Zhan Zhao also frowned, "If it wasn't Xu Ji who drugged Man Ji into the food back then?"
"Wow" Zhao Pu shook his head with a soup spoon, "Isn't that Xu Ji a strange injustice through the ages?"
Man Muhua said, "You won't doubt that it was the medicine I memorized, it's impossible, who would take such a risk with my own signboard, besides, my family didn't take any advantage, and it wasn't too far from the destruction of my family back then."
"Actually" As they were discussing, everyone heard Yin Hou suddenly speak, so they turned their faces to look at him together.
Yin Hou and Tianzun have always rarely expressed their opinions on the cases they investigated, and Tianzun occasionally gags a few words, and Yin Hou basically doesn't care unless Zhanzhao needs help.
But this time it was Yin Hou who spoke.
Tianzun, who was eating seriously, gnawed on half a chicken leg and looked at him.
Yin Hou looked at the crowd and said, "Have you investigated those who were poisoned to death?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Poisoned adead man" After being reminded, everyone suddenly understood.
"Oh."

Tianzun nodded, "The old ghost is right, use the cases of Xu Ji and Man Ji to cover up the people who really want to kill" "After Xu Ji was beheaded, the case was understood, all the dead were classified as unfortunate and killed, no one would investigate carefully, if it wasn't for Xu Ji's A poison, the real murderer would still be at large."
Zhan Zhao Road.
Gongsun also frowned, "But recently, there have been waves again, a fishtail pillow, bringing up the old case again." ” "If there was really a real murderer back then," Bai Yutang said, "what would he do if he wanted to get away with it?"
Everyone looked at Mu Hua.
Man Muhua is not stupid, his face is calm, "Blame me for the trouble?"
Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, "That painting from your family's ancestors seems to be a key":
