The Bandit’s Strategy

[Chapter 124-Someone Wants to Buy a Secret Recipe] True or false, right and wrong

"Sir, don't worry." Shen Qianling comforted, "Such a small bug can't run fast, it should be nearby."

"Tweet!" Little Phoenix squatted on the wall, black douyan looking around blankly, simply sad.

"Can't find my son?" Qin Shaoyu asked.

"No matter how bright the red wolf is, it is not a gem." Shen Qianling called the dark guard, "Where did you go when you were fighting?"

The dark guard was crying: "I hit the river from here all the way."

Wen Liunian's face turned paler.

"Where is the river?" Shen Qianling asked again.

The secret guard said: "Three miles away."

Shen Qianling: "..."

"Is this a red wolf?" Mu Hanye turned back excitedly, holding a worm in his palm.

There was silence in the courtyard.

Qin Shaoyu praised: "If you can find such a fat cabbage worm this season, Brother Mu is also very capable."

The others almost worshipped him, even if they hadn't seen him before, but listening to the three words "red wolf", wouldn't they bring a green cabbage worm back?

Mu Hanye whispered: "Ahuang doesn't remind me either."

Huang Yuan wanted to pretend not to know this person.

Wen Liunian couldn't take much care of it, so he fiddled around in the courtyard with a small stick.

The dark guards and the Seven Kingdoms Shadow Guards searched all the places they had just passed by, and the little phoenix also twisted and ran around, tweeting non-stop along the way.

Shen Qianling drew a circle the size of a coin: "It's so big, the red is very bright, and the belly is white."

Mu Hanye suddenly said, "No wonder it's called the Red Wolf."

Huang Yuan: "..."

Isn't this a matter of course?

"Brother Mu, go there, and Ling'er and I will go there." Qin Shaoyu said, "You must find it."

"Naturally, Brother Qin, don't worry." Mu Hanye pulled Huang Daxian up and jumped up to the top of the tree. Wen Liunian only felt that there was a gust of wind on his head, and when he looked up, he could no longer see a trace-kung fu is really unpredictable.

"Don't worry now." Zhao Yue said, "Although the red wolf is no better than the phoenix as a spirit beast, it is also quite smart. It should be able to come back three or five miles away."

"Yeah." Wen Liunian dropped the stick in his hand. "There is no such thing here. Go out and look for it."

Zhao Yue went out with him and walked along the path, carefully paying attention to the small red highlights along the way.

An hour later, Wen Liunian sat under the tree with his knees hugged, his eyes slightly red.

Really lost.

"Hey, I must find it." Zhao Yue hugged him and patted, "Don't worry."

"The red-clad wolf runs fast." Wen Liunian's voice was a little dumb, "the official road is not far away, what if he is trampled to death."

"Naturally not." Zhao Yue stood up holding him, "You go back to the room and rest for a while, I will continue to look for it, and promise to bring it back."

"My lord." A few secret guards ran back.

"Found it?" Wen Liunian's eyes lit up.

"No." The dark guard shook his head.

The light in Wen Liunian's eyes dimmed instantly.

The secret guard said: "But something seems to be wrong by the river."

Wen Liunian: "..."

Something wrong?

Zhao Yue took him over.

"My lord." Qin Shaoyu and Shen Qianling were also by the river.

"What happened?" Wen Liunian asked.

Shen Qianling pointed to a cluttered bush - there were a lot of dark marks on it, like dried blood, and the water plants beside it also showed signs of being stepped on.

"Look around nearby, maybe there will be other clues." Wen Liunian knelt down and looked, frowning slightly, "It seems that it is indeed a blood stain."

After a while, the dark guard found a dagger and a female corpse with her hands and feet **** from a distance.

The local county magistrate was named Pan Tai. After hearing the news, he hurried over with the servants, almost groaning in his heart-Panjia Town is considered the foot of the emperor, and the folk customs have always been simple and honest. Having been a Taiping official for five or six years, who would have thought that there will be no trouble sooner or later, but when the ceremony was about to be held in the city, the murder happened and was hit by King Qijue and Master Wen! If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that I will only have the life of picking black yarn in the future.

Zhao Yue continued to lead people to find the Red Armored Wolf, and Wen Liunian asked Pan Tai: "Is it possible for an adult to recognize this female corpse?"

"Xiaguan first take a look." Pan Taicheng was frightened, stepped forward and carefully lifted a corner of the white cloth, then his face turned pale, and he squatted outside for a long time.

Wen Liunian shook his head in his heart.

"Master Wen, forgive me, the next official recently... the stomach is not very good." Pan Tai calmed his mind.

"It's okay." Wen Liunian said, "Is there a strangely missing woman in Panjia Town recently?"

"Yes." Pan Tai nodded again and again. "Just the day before, the wife of Yang Dafu, a locust and pastry shop in the city, eloped with someone, and the official just received the news."

"Elopement?" Wen Liunian thoughtfully, "then he has an official?"

"Not yet." Pantai shook his head.

"Who is the woman's last name and name, what is her birthplace, whether she has any children, is she aggressive or gentle, and what's her relationship with Yang Dafu on weekdays?" Wen Liunian asked.

Pan Tai sweated a little on his forehead: "Yang Dafu's wife is named Pan Zhen. His ancestors have been selling glutinous food in Panjia Town for generations. There is an older brother who died early in the family. Pan's father and mother died three years ago, so they went from afar The cousin recruited Yang Dafu to join the family. Both couples are honest people, and they have no children for one year. They are considered affectionate on weekdays." Fortunately, there are not many people in Panjia Town, and they can remember clearly.

"How does Master Pan plan to handle this case?" Wen Liunian asked.

Pan Tai said: "Let's find Yang Dafu first to recognize the corpse, and then talk about it after confirming his identity."

Wen Liunian nodded: "This official will go with Master Pan."

The sky has gradually dimmed. Shen Qianling sent two dark guards to protect Wen Liu to the Yamen a year ago, while the others continued to search for the red wolf by the river.

Qijue Kingdom Shadow Guard was also quite guilty, so he tried very hard to find it, but even if he turned over the radius, he couldn't find the trace of the red wolf.

"Tweet, twee." Little Phoenix squatted on the branch, Xiao Hei Douyan slightly sad.

Shen Qianling stretched out his hand under the tree.

Little Phoenix closed his eyes, and fell down as a ball.

Qin Shaoyu: "..."

Do you remember the fact that you can fly.

"Hurry up and keep looking." Shen Qianling said fiercely, "Don't sleep if you can't find it!"

Qin Shaoyu knocked on his head: "I can't be anxious."

"Tweet." Little Phoenix looked at its father with very weak eyes---hurry up and look for it.

"I will send you back to rest first." Qin Shaoyu said, "then come out and continue looking."

"You must find it." Shen Qianling exhorted, "Where in a different place, if you lose...No, if your son loses, I will be crazy."

"What if I lose it?" Qin Shaoyu was alert.

Shen Qianling didn't even think about it: "Then I won't find it." Just throw it away.

Qin Shaoyu: "..."

"Hush." ​​On the other end, Mu Hanye made a silent gesture towards Huang Yuan.

"What are you going to do again?" Huang Yuan frowned, "No nonsense."

"Who said I'm going to be a fool." Mu Hanye stretched out his hand and flicked his nose, and then took advantage of the moonlight to pick up half of a huge tree spider from under the tree. The body|liquid from the wound was still glowing. Green light.

Huang Yuan puzzled: "What do you do?"

"I have been gnawed." Mu Hanye said, "This is a green tarantula, and it's very poisonous."

"Then you still move." Huang Yuan said, "Hurry up and throw it away!"

"Ahuangguo really cares about this king." Mu Hanye was quite moved.

Huang Yuan: "..."

How long does it take to get tired of acting?

"Big animals can't eat, and small insects don't dare to eat." Mu Hanye threw away the half of the green tarantula. "Only the Red Wolf and Gu King can gnaw."

"Aren't you unfamiliar?" Huang Yuan frowned slightly, why now it sounds rather sassy.

Mu Hanye immediately said with a look of affection: "Because Huang likes to watch me act."

Huang Yuan is in a complicated mood, and Tian is pitiful. He has no strange hobbies.

"Let's go." Mu Hanye took his hand and stood up, "Go and tell the others that according to the size of a red wolf, a green tarantula of this size should be able to support it, and maybe it's lying down and sleeping."

Now that there is a rough scope, everyone has narrowed the search scope. Under the moonlight, Zhao Yue took every step with extreme caution, for fear that he would accidentally step on the red wolf.

There was a rustling sound from the grass, a few fat-headed insects ran over, and then a small group of shiny red light crawled out.

Zhao Yue: "..."

The red wolf is lying on the spot, shaking its tentacles happily-found it!

Zhao Yue was relieved, squatted down and gently stretched out his hand.

The red wolf did not crawl over as usual, but turned and crawled back into the grass.

Zhao Yue frowned slightly, and as soon as he was about to catch it, he saw the red wolf turned around again, and another...red wolf followed behind him. The body is a little smaller, but it's just as shiny, and it's silly to get up.

Zhao Yue laughed out loud.

The Red Armored Wolf was overjoyed and climbed to Zhao Yue's hands with his friends.

The dark guard rushed to hear the news, almost crying with joy--but he found it.

Shen Qianling said: "If you lose it next time--"

"Then we will adjudge ourselves." The dark guard is very witty.

"Trouble you guys." Zhao Yue said, "Since I found it, let's rest early. I'll go to the county government to have a look."

"Yeah." Shen Qianling nodded, "If there is anything you need help, let the master just speak up, and we will go back first." Although the murder case was announced, Wen Liunian and the local officials were there, so it was difficult for the chasing shadow palace to intervene. ——As for the Qijue Kingdom, it is even more irrelevant.

In Panjia Town, Yang Dafu was talking to Shang Yunze in the courtyard, and suddenly a group of government officials came to the door.

"Dear officials, what's the matter?" Yang Dafu was taken aback by the battle.

"My lord is dead, send us to take you back to recognize the corpse." Ya Ya said.

Yang Dafu's face paled upon hearing this: "Acknowledge, recognize the corpse?"

"Yeah, I found a female corpse by the river." The yavier said, "Hurry up, when you get to the county government, someone will naturally explain it to you."

Yang Dafu's knees were soft, and he muttered to himself and shook his head: "That's not my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law will definitely not die."

"What is it!" Ya Ya said, "Is it true that I will know after seeing it, Master Pan is still waiting."

"No, no." Yang Dafu sat down on the ground, covering his face and crying.

A few government officials came up and just wanted to pull people, but Mu Qingshan had already helped him up: "It may not be true. Boss Yang should go take a look first."

"It's not my daughter-in-law, how could my daughter-in-law die?" Yang Dafu lost control of his emotions and grabbed Mu Qingshan's arm backhand: "You have also said that those people will not kill my daughter-in-law, they won't!"

Shang Yunze frowned slightly and pulled Mu Qingshan to his side.

That group? The yaman heard the clue: "Who is it, clarify things more clearly!"

Yang Dafu squatted on the ground, clutching his head and crying.

"Who on earth are you?" The yavier stared at Shang Yunze and Mu Qingshan vigilantly.

"People passing by." Shang Yunze said.

"Both go back to the government office with us!" Realizing that these two people are probably related to the case, I saw Shang Yunze with a saber hanging around his waist, and the office clerk also drew out the sword.

"Okay." Shang Yunze nodded: "We will go back with you." Judging from what Yang Dafu said earlier, this matter seems to be really not simple.

Yang’s restaurant is not far from the Yamen, just around two street corners. Although it was already dark, there were still many people on the street. Seeing that Yang Dafu was taken into the mansion, they seemed quite surprised.

"My lord, I have brought you here." Ya Ya said, "There are also two suspicious foreigners who also brought them here."

"Bring in!" Pan Tai said majesticly. Wen Liunian sat beside him to hear the trial, but he didn't expect to see Shang Yunze and Mu Qingshan when he raised his head.

"My lord." Mu Qingshan said.

"How can Master and Shangbao be here?" Wen Liunian was surprised, "How could they be brought to the palace?"

Mu Qingshan said: "We originally wanted to buy a few glutinous rice **** for adults and then go back. We didn't expect that something happened to this shopkeeper Yang's house."

Pan Tai was also a little confused: "How many...know?"

Yang Dafu only lifted a glance at the white cloth, and then started crying on his stomach. Mu Qingshan squatted beside him and said carefully: "Really Madam Ling?"

Yang Dafu was already crying to the point of choking.

Shang Yunze made a slight color to Wen Liunian.

"Master Pan." Wen Liunian turned around, "You will stay here to appease this treasurer Yang, and then you will try the case after the official comes back."

"The officer obeyed." Pan Tai nodded repeatedly, and ordered his servants to pour hot tea to Yang Dafu.

Wen Liunian and Shang Yunze went out together and went to the empty room next door.

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Shang Yunze said.

"What did Lord Shangbao find?" Wen Liunian asked.

"Before the official road was widened, Panjia Town was originally the only place through which the King City would go south." Shang Yunze said, "In addition, there are many fields around, so more than a hundred years ago, the people in this town developed research and development. A set of ancient methods for making marching food, Sophora japonicus pastry is derived from marching food. It is said that as long as it is preserved properly, it won’t be broken even if it is left for a few months."

"So what?" Wen Liunian sat at the table.

"Later, the new official roads around here were repaired, and the waterway canal was dug, and Panjia Town’s military status was gradually weakened. Later, the territory of Chu State became bigger and bigger, and the army was no longer required to bring a large amount of rations. It’s necessary to go on the road.” Shang Yunze said, “Although the marching food is convenient to eat, it’s really not delicious, so this craft is gradually lost. Now in this Pan’s town, there is only one woman who called Pan Zhen. She knows how to make it, she is the proprietress of Yang Jiahuai's pastry and pastry shop."

Wen Liunian thoughtfully.

"We also inquired before. Both Yang Dafu and his wife lived here from the times. They are honest and will not forge any enmity." Mu Qingshan said, "Yang Dafu was away from home a few days ago, and a man came home. Ask Pan Zhen to buy the method of making military food, and the price is very high."

"Has this sale been completed?" Wen Liunian asked.

"Yeah." Mu Qingshan nodded, "Pan Zhen told the secret recipe in full. After the other party left the money, he told him to keep it secret, even Lao Yang couldn't say it. But Pan Zhen always listened to men for everything, the couple. The relationship is very good, so when Yang Dafu came back, he secretly told him about the matter."

"To make marching food, eight out of ten|nine is to prepare for war." Wen Liunian said, "Qingqiu people?"

Shang Yunze nodded: "80% can't be wrong." Otherwise, who would spend such a large sum of silver to buy a secret recipe for dim sum that is completely unpalatable in Qingping and prosperous times?

"It's really not going away." Wen Liunian shook his head, "If our guess is correct, we probably bought the secret recipe first, and after we were sure it could be done, we turned back and kidnapped and killed Pan Zhen, so that this could become a thing. The secret forever."

"The shroud shop is next door to the Sophora japonica rice noodle shop." Mu Qingshan said, "The proprietress inside has also seen strange men enter and leave the noodle noodle shop. It happened to be the person who wanted to buy the secret recipe during the time when Lao Yang was away. Because of this, after Pan Zhen disappeared, rumors of her elopement appeared in the city."

Wen Liunian nodded.

"How come adults come here, where is Zhao Da headed?" Shang Yunze asked.

Mentioned this matter, Wen Liunian's mood instantly fell: "We originally came to look for the Qijue King, but we accidentally lost the Red Wolf."

"Huh?" Mu Qingshan was surprised.

lost?

Wen Liunian shook his head and stood up: "Well, there are already a lot of people looking for it. It's useless to be anxious, I'll look at Yang Dafu again."

Zhao Yue opened the door and came in.

"Found it?" Wen Liunian asked hurriedly.

Zhao Yue smiled and stretched out his hand in front of him.

A group of shiny little things are glowing red.

Wen Liunian was overjoyed at first, but after seeing it clearly, he was puzzled: "Is it this one?" Why does it look...a small circle and a different shape.

Zhao Yue said: "It's another one."

"The other one?" Wen Liunian would not react for a while.

The sleeves were rustling, and then a pair of small tentacles protruded.

The red armor wolves crawled out happily, the speed is simply fast!

Wen Liunian was full of surprises.

The red wolf crawled onto his hand and shook his tentacles desperately!

It's back!

Wen Liunian rubbed his fingers on his carapace, almost crying—he would never find it.

"Okay, okay, I found it this time, and I won't lose it again next time." Zhao Yue showed him another red wolf, "also brought a profit."

The red wolf behind was obviously going to stay a lot, and was already asleep at this time.

"Didn't it mean that only Yunnan has it?" Wen Liunian put the two red-clad wolves together.

"Who knows, who probably brought it from Yunnan." Zhao Yue took out the small wooden box and put the two small things in it. "What about you, how is the case?"

"It's a bit complicated." Wen Liunian and Mu Qingshan looked at each other and told him about the matter before.

"It's related to Qingqiu again?" Zhao Yue really frowned after listening.

"It's just a guess, but at this point, there is no one else but him." Wen Liunian said, "Land combat is okay. If it is replaced by naval combat, how to make food that can be preserved for a long time is very important."

"Qingqiu is going to fight a naval battle with the emperor?" Zhao Yue said.

"Not only the emperor, but perhaps the King of Ming." Wen Liunian said, "but the other party is too vigilant. Whether it is the royal city or this Panjia town, I am afraid that we will not be easily found by us."

"Do you want to stay here to hear the case?" Mu Qingshan asked.

"It's best if you can stay, but there will be a celebration in the royal city, I'm afraid I can't be absent." Wen Liunian said, "Master, can you do me a favor?"

"Nature." Mu Qingshan nodded, "Do you want us to stay here?"

"Yeah." Wen Liunian said, "First, protect Yang Dafu, and second, see if there are other clues. I will come back as soon as the ceremony in the city is over."

"Okay." Mu Qingshan said, "My lord, just go, we will stay in this town forever."

In the lobby of the government office, Yang Dafu was so sad that he fainted from crying. Pan Tai ordered him to take him to rest temporarily, and cleaned up a guest room for Wen Liunian. Shang Yunze lived with Mu Qingshan temporarily. The inn opposite the government office.

"There are so many things again." Mu Qingshan sighed.

"You want to stay here?" Shang Yunze helped him pour a cup of tea, "I still wanted to go to Wangcheng to watch the excitement."

"There have been homicides. Naturally, it is more important here." Mu Qingshan said, "Moreover, it has something to do with King Daming, so it's even more sloppy."

"It doesn't matter." Shang Yunze embraced him, "In the future, there will be opportunities."

"Yeah." Mu Qingshan lay on his shoulder, feeling quite relieved.

Xiao Er soon delivered hot water, and the tub was not too big, so it could only hold one person.

Shang Yunze hugged him and put it in.

"Hot!" Mu Qingshan was red all over.

"It's better to be hot." Shang Yunze wiped his body with his kerchief. "The hands and feet are cold, and he kicks me in the middle of the night."

Mu Qingshan giggled.

Shang Yunze said: "Before I slept clearly, I was quite honest." Why did he start rolling around as soon as he got married.

"I don't know." Mu Qingshan thought for a while, "probably because if he rolled around before, he would fall out of bed." Now that there are people around, it is naturally different. How comfortable is it.

"Wrong theory." Shang Yunze wrapped him out and wiped it dry, "Okay, go to sleep."

Mu Qingshan looked at him holding the quilt.

"Do you want to do something bad again?" Shang Yunze leaned closer.

"No." Mu Qingshan tilted his head and blushed.

"Really don't?" Shang Yunze sat on the side of the bed, "Think about it again, I'm not expensive, just a penny at a time."

Mu Qingshan laughed: "I don't have a big penny."

"That's it." Shang Yunze bowed his head and kissed him, "It doesn't hurt to owe it first."

Really...very easy to talk.

Among the government offices, Wen Liunian was lying on the bed, watching the bug on the back of his hand.

Two little bugs.

They were all bathed and incense scented, and they were incredibly clean.

"It's time to sleep." Zhao Yue said, "I'll play again tomorrow."

Wen Liunian packed the red-clad wolf into the mahogany box, then placed it upright on the pillow, and covered it with his hand before closing his eyes in peace.

Zhao Yue froze: "Then where do I want to sleep?"

Wen Liunian said: "The floor."

Zhao Yue: "..."

The red wolf was lying in the mahogany box, rubbing his tentacles with joy with his new friend.

Happy!

Early the next morning, Wen Liunian returned to the Wangcheng with Zhao Yue, leaving Shang Yunze and Mu Qingshan to guard Yang Dafu.

Chu Yuan had already returned to the palace, was reading the memorial in the Imperial Study Room, and suddenly heard that Wen Liunian asked for a meeting.

Sixi chief channel: "Master Wen seems to be in a hurry, it should be an urgent matter."

"Xuan." Chu Yuan put down the zhezi in his hand.

"The emperor." Wen Liunian opened the door and came in. "The minister is back."

"Is it to go to Panjia Town to pass on the Qijue King?" Chu Yuan said, "Sixi has told me about this, and I have worked so hard to love Qing."

"There is nothing wrong with King Qijue." Wen Liunian said, "but there is something wrong with Panjiazhen."

"Oh?" Chu Yuan said, "what's the matter?"

Wen Liunian recounted the matter about Yang Dafu and his wife.

"It's crazy." Chu Yuan was really angry.

"Tomorrow, Qijuewang will lead his men into the city. The first day of the ceremony is also the deadline promised to that group of jugglers." Wen Liunian said, "No matter how big or small, they should all act, and it depends on Panjiazhen's posture. At this time, I am afraid that there are not a few people coming from the other side, so we still have to be careful."

"Why do I fear that they will act." Chu Yuan sneered, "I'm afraid that they will keep shrinking like this and dare not even show their faces."

Wen Liunian nodded: "Xiang Commander has already laid a net of heaven and earth. As long as the other party is interesting, he will definitely be able to catch it all in one go."

Coming out of the palace, I smelled a scent when I went home. Mrs. Wen was busy in the kitchen, while Wen Rumo was sitting in the small courtyard, asking Zhao Yue about something about Pan’s town.

"Corps?" Wen Rumo shook his hand.

"Yeah." Zhao Yue sighed, "I found a woman by the river with a completely different face. The gangster is truly desolate."

Wen Rumo calmly put down the cup: "It is indeed."

"Daddy!" Wen Liunian suddenly threw himself on his back.

"Ah!" Wen Rumo was taken aback.

"Ah hum." Madam Wen was also very frightened in the kitchen, and hurriedly threw her spoon out to see what happened.

"Father, are you okay?" Wen Liunian shook his hand in front of him.

Zhao Yue is also quite worried.

"Master?" Mrs. Wen shook him.

"It's okay." Wen Rumo's face was slightly pale.

"What did you do, scared your father like this." Mrs. Wen helped her master to go along, while complaining about her son with dissatisfaction.

"I didn't do anything." Wen Liunian was at a loss. He used to be surprised like this before, and his father was very happy when he was a child.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Wen Rumo waved his hand again and again.

"What are you talking about just now?" Wen Liunian asked.

Before Wen Rumo could stop it in the future, Zhao Yue already said, "Panjiazhen, the murder case."

Wen Rumo: "..."

"No wonder," Wen Liunian said, "Daddy is most afraid of this, you don't want to talk about it in the future."

"Cough!" Wen Rumo coughed vigorously.

"Uncle forgive me." Zhao Yue stepped forward with interest, "I was too horrible to say that I was shocked by my uncle."

"Really, pay more attention next time." Mrs. Wen also scolded the two of them, then helped her master to go back to the room and rest. Wen Liunian asked Zhao Yue in a low voice: "It's really scary?"

"No." Zhao Yue said, "You said that there was an unrecognizable female corpse, and you ran in."

"It's a good idea, what do you do with this." Wen Liunian grabbed his ear.

"Uncle himself wants to ask." Zhao Yue said, "Can't you say?"

"No, but my father is most afraid of hearing a murder case." Wen Liunian said, "He was timid, and his grandfather always used ghosts to scare him when he was young."

Zhao Yue: "..."

"Don't talk about it, please." Wen Liunian exclaimed, "Do you know?"

Zhao Yue nodded immediately.

One is afraid of insects and the other is afraid of murder, and they are really father and son.
