The Bandit’s Strategy

【Chapter 96 One Thing For A Roasted Chicken】This kind of good deed is rare

There have been ghosts in the city for more than a year. Although the people are afraid or afraid, they are somewhat accustomed to it. In addition, ghosts have never hurt people, so other than going out at night as much as possible, the days are not too much. Influence, I did not expect the magistrate to remember this. Suddenly seeing the official announcement, I was curious in my heart, so I didn't even care about the meal before eating, and rushed to the temporary public hall in front of the inn to watch the excitement.

The prefects catching ghosts will naturally not be like ordinary witches and gods with chicken feathers and muttering words. Shi Feng was sitting on the middle chair, his back was soaked with sweat-he was accustomed to catching ghosts, not to mention catching ghosts, even if he was catching thieves, he was still weak, but this Master Wen refused to point out. What I want to do is to continue to be full of anxiety.

"Master Shi." Mu Qingshan sat aside, temporarily returning to the little master, "It's time to be promoted."

Promoted? Shi Feng didn't react when he heard that, and there were no prisoners. Could it be that the trial of the ghost really failed?

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Mu Qingshan had to say to the people: "Since the ghosts appeared, is there any weird situation in the city? Even trivial things, as long as everyone feels puzzled, they can tell them."

"Yes, yes, no matter what the details are, I will tell the officials to listen to them." Shi Feng finally recovered.

Wen Liunian sat on the other side, holding a cup and slowly drinking sour plum soup.

The people looked at each other and didn't know what to say, trivial...Do you even want to say a few green onions lost at home? Will it be regarded as deliberately messing with the board?

The scene was quiet, just in time for the roasting chicken shop next to it to open the pot, and a tangy aroma rushed toward him. Wen Liunian and the people around him swallowed silently, wanting to eat a little.

Zhao Yue turned around and went into the shop and bought all the roast chicken.

Wen Liunian stayed for a while: "I want a chicken thigh." Although it is edible, it is not so edible.

Zhao Yue asked the boss to pack the roasted chickens one by one, and put them all on the table next to them, and said to the people: "You can get a roasted chicken if you say one thing. It doesn't matter what you say is useless, but whoever is Make up your mind and watch out for ghosts in the middle of the night."

The steaming roast chicken is still very attractive to the people who have not eaten. Moreover, the magistrate seems to have a good attitude, so after a while, a young man finally said cautiously: "A year ago, I The wife’s clothes were washed and placed in the yard, but there was no trace after one night. There were a lot of patches on the coats. I guess the thief would not be able to see it. I don’t know why it is gone. Does it matter? ?"

"Naturally." Zhao Yue nodded and asked the boss to pass him a roast chicken.

The young people are so happy, they didn't expect this to work!

As soon as the opening was opened, the surrounding people became active, and they could get the roast chicken if they lost a piece of patched clothes. Then my family lost three or four bacon, so I can talk about it!

"Everyone, slow down." The people were too babbled, Mu Qingshan couldn't keep up.

Wen Liunian put down his chicken legs and wiped his hands, and sat down to help.

Shi Feng did not dare to be sloppy if Master Wen was allowed to be his master himself. After asking questions one by one, he really gained a lot of trivial things-it is really small! This family lost half a tank of rice, and the other lost a quilt, which is not worth much money together.

The owner of the roast chicken shop couldn't get it, so he had to write an IOU to the big guy and let him come back tomorrow.

"Not bad." Wen Liunian nodded, "Thanks for your hard work."

The people immediately waved their hands fiercely, saying that it was not hard, this roast chicken is delicious!

Shi Feng asked Wen Liunian cautiously: "Is there anything else, my lord?"

"It's too early, so let's do it for now." Wen Liunian squeezed his chin, probably with clues in his mind.

The people happily carried the roast chicken home. In the inn bedroom, Mu Qingshan sorted out the people's confession: "Sir, do you want to read it again?"

"No." Wen Liunian shook his head, "I can remember."

Everyone at the scene was silent for a while. It doesn't matter if the secretary is good at ordinary times, and these trivial skins can still be remembered, how does the head grow...

"What do you think?" Wen Liunian asked Zhao Yue.

"The things that are lost are all things that are needed for daily life, rice-faced oil-coated shirts and bedding. Whose ghost will steal these." Zhao Yue said, "80% is a stranger again."

"There is a barren mountain near here, maybe the people who stole things live there." Wen Liunian said, "It should be a little bit of work, so that when the eaves walks on the wall, the people will be regarded as ghosts."

"Barren Mountain...You mean Dahei Mountain?" Zhou Mubai asked.

"Yeah." Wen Liunian nodded, "Go look for it, maybe there will be clues."

"Such a simple matter can be dragged by the local government for so long." Shang Yunze shook his head.

"Not every official is as smart as an adult." Mu Qingshan was serious.

"Shi Feng may not be surprised, but I don't want to be troublesome." Wen Liunian poured a glass of water. "In officialdom, there are not a few people who are either good or bad sneaking."

"Speaking of it, then we also know a strange thing." The dark guard suddenly remembered, "Last night we walked on the street and heard a couple arguing. It seems that a cloth tiger who coaxed a baby was lost at home."

"Bu tiger?" Wen Liunian wondered.

"Yes." The dark guard nodded, "We also tried to persuade you." In the end, he didn't even drink a cup of tea. It shouldn't be.

The rest:...

This also has to be managed?

"It's okay to steal rice and noodle oil, what about stealing a cloth tiger?" Zhou Dingtian frowned.

The dark guard said: "Play."

Zhou Dingtian tapped a chestnut in his hand.

The dark guard whirled with tears, and was as violent as the palace lord!

"Let's eat first." Shang Yunze said, "It's already late at night, and the restaurant will be closed later."

"Alright, eat first." Wen Liunian hadn't finished the roast chicken before, and he didn't even feel it. He started to growl as soon as he talked about it. Zhao Yue said, "There is no good restaurant in the city. There is a larger noodle restaurant in the corner. I have to go to make a living."

"It's okay," Wen Liunian said, "It's good to be full."

The dark guard sighed in the back, the adults are really very easy to raise, and the big boss is simply blessed.

Sifang City is rich in wheat, so the pasta is also very good. Although it is not as exquisite as Jiangnan, it does not have a strong taste. The red and bright chili powder is splashed with sesame oil, and the whole room is full of fragrance.

Wen Liunian bowed his head and ate, apparently hungry for a long time.

Shang Yunze felt a little emotional in his heart, why are other people's families so easy to raise?

Mu Qingshan continued to carefully pick things out, not radishes, green garlic, day lilies, and half of the noodles, and throw them all into Shangbao's main bowl.

Shang Yunze had to sigh and asked him for a small plate of glutinous rice and red bean cake.

It looked delicious...Wen Liunian silently stretched out his chopsticks and came over to pick one away.

So Shang Yunze became more envious of Zhao Yue.

The candlelight in the noodle shop was warm and dim, and Anwei talked and laughed, looking very lively.

At the corner of the street not far away, a white figure disappeared suddenly, leaving no trace.

After eating the noodles, everyone returned to the inn contentedly, intending to continue discussing the search for Dahei Mountain. Wen Liunian pushed open the bedroom door, only to hear a baby cry.

Mu Qingshan was frightened, and instinctively grabbed Shang Yunze's hand.

The cry continued, apparently coming from the bed, and the dark guard stepped forward and opened the gauze tent. He saw a white baby, who looked a little thin and was biting his fingers and crying loudly.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, and called the innkeeper to ask, and said that they didn't know anything, no one had come in at all.

"It should be by the window." Wen Liunian picked up the broken half of the wooden buckle from the ground.

The dark guard checked the little baby and found that there were no clues on his body, but he was really skinny, so he asked Xiao Er to make some rice paste and feed him a spoonful.

"It looks pretty cute." Mu Qingshan squeezed the baby's hand, "what should I do now?"

"It is estimated that it was sent by the ghost." Wen Liunian said.

Zhou Dingtian also nodded: "The whereabouts and identity of this journey are not kept secret, probably because the other party heard the wind, so he sent the little baby over without any marks on his body. It shouldn't be for redress or other things, but simply want us. adoption."

"Do you want to raise it?" The dark guard asked Wen Liunian while hesitating.

"Even if you want to raise it, you can't just raise it in a silly way." Wen Liunian looked at Zhao Yue, "You take a few people to Daheishan tomorrow to see if you can find a clue."

Zhao Yue nodded: "Okay."

After the baby had a full stomach, he fell asleep, but he was really well-behaved.

The dark guard put him on the bed carefully, feeling that he was much better than Zuo Hufa's son... the mother must be very virtuous!

Early the next morning, Zhao Yue and Zhou Mubai, along with a few secret guards, entered the mountain. Since there were no people here on weekdays, it was very desolate, and almost all the way was buried by weeds and jujube thorns.

"The mountain is too big, and it's not easy to find someone." Zhao Yue said, "Let's find it separately, and use the flare as a contact."

Zhou Mubai nodded, everyone parted, and continued to search in the mountains against the scorching sun. Zhao Yue lived in Chaomu Cliff for several years. Naturally, he knew what kind of terrain was more suitable for living. There was a stream of water in the canyon. After walking along for a while, he saw a few tree stumps on the side of the road. Cut it off with a sword.

The terrain is dangerous, obviously not the woodcutters in the town, Zhao Yue became more careful along the way, and finally found a cave behind a very concealed bush, with the remnants of a wooden fence next to it.

He lit a torch casually, and Zhao Yue swept away the dead branches and leaves and walked in. The cave is not too big, and the turn is the end. There were some broken bedding in the corner, with a thick layer of ash falling on it, and a broken clay pot.

"How is it?" After receiving the signal, the others rushed over.

"People have lived here." Zhao Yue said, "but judging from the dilapidation of the bedding, it has been abandoned for at least three or four months."

"At least it means that the previous inference is correct. The ghost is indeed in the mountains." Zhou Mubai squatted down and looked at the clay pot. If you can’t find the stolen one, you’ll have to dispatch troops to seal the mountain.”

Zhao Yue shook his head, "Let's look for it again. Apart from stealing some food and clothing, the other party hasn't done evil neighbors. It's not a big rapist, and it can't be so troublesome."

But it was easy to say. Several people searched for a long time in the mountains, but they didn't find the other clues. They returned to the inn late at night, Wen Liunian was coaxing the little baby at the table, and the others were still awake.

"How is it?" Zhou Dingtian asked.

Zhao Yue recounted the discovery in the mountain.

"The cave is deserted. Could the other party have already left?" Mu Qingshan frowned.

"Not necessarily." Zhao Yue said, "it is also possible that the wind direction changes from winter to summer, so change to a cave that is more suitable for living."

"But for such a big mountain, there are so many suitable places to live." Mu Qingshan said, "how do I find it?"

The rest are watching Wen Liunian.

"Is it hard to find?" Wen Liunian asked Zhao Yue.

"It will take some time." Zhao Yue said, "If the other party deliberately avoids, or simply leaves the city, it will be even more difficult to find."

"So..." Wen Liunian thoughtfully.

The little baby giggled, and reached out and pulled his hair.

"The conditions in the mountains should be very difficult." Wen Liunian said, "but this little baby is well raised. Although a little skinny, the doctor today said that there is no major problem and the clothes are clean. "

"So?" Zhao Yue asked.

"So no matter if the other party is a human or a ghost, I should really like this little doll and want him to live a good life." Wen Liunian said, "Otherwise, just throw it at the door of someone's house, and you won't risk giving it to us. ."

Mu Qingshan nodded: "It is indeed."

"So you want to use this kid to lure him out?" Zhao Yue asked.

"Yeah." Wen Liunian teased the little baby, "it doesn't sound like a bad person, maybe there is something unspeakable, so why bother half-human and half-ghost wandering outside."

"But I have to go back to Wangcheng to return to life." Zhou Mubai reminded that in this delay, he didn't know it would take a few days to end.

Wen Liunian asked: "Can't I get sick for a few more days?"

Zhou Mubai paused: "...Yes."

"That's not enough." Wen Liunian stuffed the child to him, "You take it tonight."

Zhou Mubai froze and said, "Me?" Master clearly carried him well last night.

But Wen Liunian obviously didn't intend to change his mind, so he dragged Zhao Yue back to the bedroom and called hot water to help him wipe his body: "Is it tired?"

"Not tired." Zhao Yue held his hand and sighed, "It didn't help you much."

"It's such a big mountain. It's not easy to find someone." Wen Liunian helped him squeeze his shoulders. "It would be great to find a cave. If you were me, it might not be possible to find it in a year."

Zhao Yue bowed his head and kissed his hand.

"I'll pour you a glass of water." Wen Liunian said.

Zhao Yue nodded and watched him stand up to the table, but his heart felt sore for no reason.

"What's the matter with you?" Wen Liunian was startled when he saw that his face was wrong.

"Nothing." Zhao Yue said, "I will adjust my breath for a while."

Wen Liunian nodded, sitting on a small bench and dared not say anything, so he looked at him with wide eyes.

As if he had been hit hard in the chest, the dull pain spread across his body like ripples. Zhao Yue clenched his fist underwater. Although he was soaked in hot water, his whole body was bitterly cold.

Seeing that his expression was getting worse and worse, Wen Liunian couldn't care too much. He stood up and ran to look for Zhou Dingtian, but he was held back by him.

"How?" Wen Liunian squatted down beside him anxiously.

"It's okay." Zhao Yue exhaled and leaned against the bucket to rest for a while.

"How could it happen suddenly." Wen Liunian held his cold hand, still a little anxious.

"Probably it is too tired to practice." Zhao Yue said, "I will ask Senior Zhou by myself tomorrow morning, don't bother him to rest now."

"Yeah." Wen Liunian nodded, took one side of the shirt and changed him, until he got into bed, his heart was still beating wildly.

"Scared you?" Zhao Yue hugged him in his arms.

"Do people who practice martial arts like this?" Wen Liunian asked.

"Occasionally." Zhao Yue patted him on the back, "Don't be afraid."

Wen Liunian thought to himself, a little scary.

The house was quiet, and the red wolf was lying in the small box, shaking its tentacles boredly.

There is no Gu King to play with me...
