chewing dragon

Chapter 65
Li Huang tried his best to finish his speech, most of the remaining anger was vented immediately, he just looked up and stared straight at what he was looking at.

Qi Jingzhi suddenly asked: "When you entered that Yuan Mansion, have you ever heard the name Wan'er? Have you ever seen a jade pillow?"

Hearing this, Li Huang's sluggish eyes moved left and right, and after thinking for a while, he replied slowly: "Wan'er? I haven't heard of this name before. Jade pillow... Jade pillow..."

Li Huang muttered twice in a low voice, suddenly his eyes popped, as if he remembered something terrible.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he turned his head abruptly, looked at the butler standing by the bed, and almost roared, "Since your uncle, your family has been a steward in my branch for three generations. I haven't kept anything from you about the family, from now on Madam's place...you need to be more helpful!"

The butler was obviously stunned by the words of Tuo Gu, until he was stared at by Li Huang for a long time, then he knelt down with a plop, and swore a poisonous oath.

Li Huang then turned his head back, and began to stare blankly at the sky again, as if he had forgotten about the jade pillow.

The butler stood up, looked at the servants who were still lingering in the room and refused to move, gritted his teeth, and lowered his head to whisper something in Li Huang's ear.

Li Huang came back to his senses again, nodded subtly, and wanted to give a few more words, but he just opened his mouth, and the sound of "ho ho" kept coming out of his throat.

After only a short while, this Master Li was speechless, and his complexion quickly turned gray, without any luster.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the quilt wrapped around Li Huang's body suddenly collapsed.

With a flash in Qi Jingzhi's eyes, he rushed to the bed in two steps, and threw off the quilt on the bed.

There was nothing under the quilt, only a big puddle of smelly and yellowish juice!
Li Huang's whole body was actually left with only one dead head!

This scene was so weird and frightening that the butler closest to the bed was caught off guard, rolled his eyes on the spot, and collapsed limply to the ground like noodles all over his body.

At the same time, the stench in the room suddenly became stronger several times, making it impossible to stand up.

Old Wei and Jiao Yulang were closest to the door, and when they saw Li Huang's death clearly, they were afraid that the pool of juice would be poisonous, so they rushed out without waiting for a moment.

Qi Jingzhi was not far behind, and covered the quilt on the juice melted by Li Huang's limbs, then picked up the butler's back collar, and dragged him out neatly.

Everyone in the Li family was a bit confused, but seeing such a horrific accident, the whole Li residence seemed to be boiling, and it became more and more turbulent.

Having no time to pay attention to the chaos in the Li residence, the three of Qi Jingzhi went straight out of the Li residence, and did not slow down until they could no longer smell the stench.

It was still early at this moment, the morning light had not yet appeared, and the cold air was in full swing, and the three of them ran around without touching their feet all night. Now, as soon as they stood on the street with few pedestrians, their stomachs growled one after another.

Fortunately, they were all thick-skinned, and none of the three felt embarrassed. They had aspirations together, and they all looked at the steaming breakfast stand on the corner of the street.

Not long after the pot was put on, the business came, and the stall owner's face was full of joy. Although the three customers looked a little weird, they also had a huge appetite. They ordered a full portion for eight or nine people, but they gave it first. Money, naturally there is no such leisurely mind.

Choosing a corner farthest from the pot, Qi Jingzhi scalded three pairs of chopsticks and dipping plates with hot water, and placed them in front of everyone, then sat down comfortably and watched the stall owner busy.

Jin Daowei thanked him, then suddenly raised his sleeve and sniffed vigorously, his face showed a dazed look: "Just now, the smell in Li's house was too strong, I didn't smell it for a while, now that I think about it, it's clearly Snake smell!"

In order to prove what he said was true, he pointed to the platinum mouse in Jiao Yulang's arms and said, "Look, this little mouse is much more energetic than when he was in Li's house."

Jiao Yulang immediately glanced at the stall owner not far away, then looked at the old man with dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice: "Xiaobai is the essence of gold and jade, but he only looks like a mouse, so he is not afraid of the smell of snakes!"

Jin Daowei disagreed, and immediately shook his head and said: "The good fortune of heaven and earth has its own reasons, don't care what it is, since it looks like a mouse-eye, it must have a bit of a rat's temper, right?"

While talking, the old man approached the Platinum Mouse, and asked curiously: "Little guy, you also smelled the smell of snakes just now, can you find the owner? If you find it, except for a jade pillow that cannot be moved, other treasures It's all yours."

Jiao Yulang was a little annoyed: "Old Wei, it's true that Xiaobai can hunt for treasures, but he doesn't rely on his nose. What's more, he was born in the shape of a mouse, not a dog!"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the Platinum Mouse suddenly became excited, and left Xiaowazi's embrace on its own initiative, jumped straight onto his shoulder, and stretched out a red front paw, pointing in a certain direction.

The three of them turned their heads and saw that the little white mouse was pointing at the West!

"There is a door!"

Jindao Wei slapped his thigh, looking triumphantly at Xiaowazi's sulking.

Qi Jingzhi groaned for a while, and said: "It's a coincidence that it's a coincidence. This time we have two lines and one line. It seems that we still have to go out of the city today. Later, you go to the west gate and wait, and I will go." Let’s go to the Lieutenant’s office in Zhenmodu to settle the matter of the Li family, and it’s considered to be from the beginning to the end, so let’s see if we can get some news out of it.”

Hearing this, Jin Dao Wei naturally said nothing, Jiao Yulang also nodded, and did not forget to pull the Platinum Mouse off his shoulder and stuff it back into his arms.

After a while, the stall owner brought over three steaming bowls of tripe vermicelli soup, accompanied by six golden and fragrant sesame seed cakes.

"Three guest officers, the weather is getting colder now. This tripe soup is the most heart-warming, and the sesame seed cakes are also freshly baked. It's time to be crispy! I know you guys order a lot, and eat first, and fill up as you eat. , so as not to let it cool down, it will taste unpalatable.”

Jin Dao Wei is a big man in the East China Sea, because the seaside is humid and cold, he likes to drink soup made of beef and sheep.

He stirred the soup bowl with chopsticks, and saw that the soup was milky white and rich, tripe was full of ingredients, and a dozen green onions were floating on it, and he felt ironed before he drank it.

The so-called Aiwujiwu, Jindaowei immediately felt that the stall owner was pretty good, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Do you have snake soup here?"

The stall owner was stunned, and quickly shook his head: "The customer is joking, but all the beef and mutton I sell here are serious!"

The three people who were already hungry laughed, and immediately started to eat and drink, and stayed in this small stall until dawn.

During the period, Jindaowei wanted to feed the tripe to the platinum mouse, but was rejected by the little white mouse. In the end, Jiao Yulang touched a few golden melon seeds from his body, which proved that Xiaobai was indeed not a mouse, at least not an ordinary mouse.

After eating and drinking enough, the three of them divided into two groups again.

Qi Jingzhi only went to the Zhenmodu Lieutenant's Office once yesterday, so he is not familiar with the way, but such a conspicuous Linde Pavilion is there, it is difficult to find the wrong place.

When he arrived at the gate of the official office, he encountered a hunchbacked old servant who opened the door to sweep the house.

Qi Jingzhi immediately stuffed an oiled paper bag over, with a sincere smile: "The sesame seed cakes that have just been baked are just crispy!"

The hunchbacked old servant was a little surprised. Seeing that the young man was carrying more than one oil-paper bag, he took it with a smile: "Thank you! It's too early. Liu Gongcao has been resting in the east duty room for the past few days. It's just getting up."

Qi Jingzhi hurriedly cupped his hands to express his gratitude: "It's really important to bother you so early, why don't you pass it on to me?"

The hunchbacked old servant waved his hand: "This business can't be delayed. Liu Gongcao has always been diligent, and he is not a fussy person. You just go in and look for him."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi stopped being polite and hurried into the door.

Seeing the boy's back disappear around the corner, the hunchbacked old servant walked slowly to the stone steps in front of the door and sat down.

He unhurriedly opened the oiled paper bag, smelled it carefully, and then took a small bite cautiously. While chewing slowly, he murmured indistinctly: "It only took one day to put a fierce blade into the mouth." into the scabbard, the young people nowadays are really amazing..."
