March 20, sunny.
There are still nine days until the Cai County Childbirth Examination.
Outside the Caixian County Government Office, it was very noisy with people coming and going. Some people struggled out from in front of people and were squeezed behind the crowd.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at the heroes. Last night there was a heroic leopard head who helped our Cai County get rid of one harm. The king was killed by him, and everything in our Cai County became clear!"
"He'll be here today?"
"Alas! Good people don't live long. Although he killed evil people, he also violated the laws of our country. I heard that County Magistrate Guo wanted to eliminate evil for the people and spared his life. Just let him be sent to the outside of Yumen Pass for thirty years!"
The young man who asked the question bowed his hands to the old man and retreated behind everyone.
He stayed away from the crowd, walked through the busy city, and walked into the county government gate.
After a while, the young man walked out of the county government gate with a document signed and sealed by Master Zhang hidden in his sleeve.
He did not go far. He stood on the high platform next to the county government office and stared at the gate of the county government office: "You concluded this matter so quickly?"
Zhou Dagu was a little confused as to why the county government so quickly concluded that Wang Yuanwai was killed by Leopard Head!
There are witnesses, physical evidence, and confessions, and it can be said that the case has been made solid.
However, he still couldn't help but doubt in his heart.
"This is not in line with the efficiency of the county government. What are they protecting? What are they covering up?"
He shook his head to shake the worries out of his head, and took out three pennies from his arms to buy a bowl of wontons.
"Boss, the great hero Leopard Head will pass by here later. If you give him this bowl of wontons, tell him that a scholar Zhou gave it to him!" Zhou Dagu took out five copper coins from his arms and said, "This is Consider it a thank you gift to you!”
The boss waved his hand: "The old man's daughter was killed by the Wang family. The leopard-headed murderer of the king is the hero of our Cai County. If you don't tell me, I will treat him to a meal and ask for a thank you gift. That's not a slap in the old man's face!"
Zhou Dagu shook his head: "Then consider this as a thank you gift for helping me pass the message. Thank you very much!"
He stood up and was about to leave. He was too involved in Wang Yuanwai's affairs.
Although he doesn't know what the Yamen official means, it will be beneficial to him to quickly try the murder case of Wang Yuanwai!
County Lieutenant Zhang had just issued a pursuit order and had not yet found the eldest lady of the Wang family. He should not deepen his relationship with Wang Yuanwai's death.
Zhou Dagu stood up and took two steps forward. A man in black walked past beside him.
He frowned, recalling the familiar smell in his mind, but he didn't know what he thought of, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He turned around and sat down at the wonton stand next to the man in black.
The man waved his hands in displeasure: "I don't want to share a table with others!"
"I'm not here to share a table, I'm here to pay you back!"
"It's you?" The man in black said happily, then nervously covered his beard: "How is it possible, my disguise is so lifelike, why can you tell who I am at a glance?"
Zhou Dagu shook his head: "I didn't see it, I smelled it!"
"The girl's appearance has changed, but the smell of you has never changed!"
"You are such a scoundrel scholar, you actually remember the smell of others, how rude!"
"It's not that I'm rude, but the smell on the girl's body is really good! Is the girl's outfit... an escape from marriage?"
The man's appearance, but his smart eyes, revealed the beauty hidden behind this face: "How do you know!"
"I don't want you to pay back the money you owe me. Can you do me a favor?"
"Girl, do you need me to help you escape from marriage?"
"Is that okay?" Those big eyes stared at Zhou Dagu, making him unable to refuse.
"Okay!" Zhou Dagu nodded slightly and looked away from his eyes: "I can take you out of the city!"
He looked around and found several people wearing ordinary people's clothes, walking in a hurry, their eyes looking at others without scruples, for fear that others would not be able to discover their identities.
"It's easy for me to take you out of the city, but you must obey me along the way and don't cause me any trouble!"
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded, but her eyes did not move, which was pitiful.
"what's your name?"
"My name is……"
"I can tell whether you are telling the truth. You can try it. If you lie to me, I will leave now!"
"Alas! Little scholar, don't you know that smart people don't live long? My name is Bai Huahong!"
"Good name!"
Zhou Dagu looked up. The long street was crowded with people. The gate of the county government was opened. Countless people rushed forward to see the king-killing hero.
Someone pushed his back, and he once again looked at Bai Huahong dressed as the man in front of him.
At this moment, it seemed destined that he could hear no other sounds in his ears.
"My name is Zhou Dagu!"
"Zhou Dagu, a very...good name!"
"Baihuahong is also a very good name!"
"Shh, don't shout my name!"
He lowered his head and felt the breath in her mouth again.
In the long street, crowds of people once again flocked to the county government gate like a tide.
Zhou Dagu took Bai Huahong's hand and stood up: "Follow me!"
"Where to go?"
"Out of town!"
"If I leave the city like this, they will find me!"
"Won't!"
"Why?"
"I have a master's token! The gatekeepers won't stop us!"
Bai Huahong nodded and found that she had been led by the man in front of her for dozens of steps. How far she walked was not the issue, the issue was the hands that were holding each other.
The mask melted a little as the face beneath it heated up.
The gate of the county government office opened, and a prison van was pushed out by a strong man.
Leopard Head stood on the prison car, lowering his head to avoid the crowd. The last time he stood in the prison car, the scene of being thrown rotten eggs was still replaying in his mind.
He lowered his head to avoid the flying yellow object. The object fell on his head, but he felt no pain.
Leopard raised his head and said blankly: "Flower?"
He looked towards the long street, and the crowd looked towards him.
"Big hero, this is our big hero!"
"He was the one who killed Wang Yuanwai and gave us sunny days in Cai County. Great hero! You can't be exiled!"
"Let the hero go! Woohoo!"
Countless people looked at him in sorrow and pain.
At this moment, Leopard Head was stunned. He was already stunned when countless duck flowers fell on his face: "Me? Hero?"
When he was a boy, his parents were killed by villains, and he grew up wandering alone. During countless lonely years, he wished that a hero would save him.
However, all the young people met were villains who wanted to eat him, so how could there be a hero?
A flower fell on his ear, neither light nor heavy.
The leopard head laughed and raised its head: "I am a hero. It turns out that this is what it feels like to be a hero. It turns out that this is how you can become a hero!"
An old man stopped the moving prison car and shouted: "Please, sir, let the hero eat before leaving!"
Yumen Pass is the city gate of Da Sheng and Yaoman, and outside Yumen Pass is the territory of Yaoman!
After thirty years of service, there is no chance of survival.
The catcher nodded and avoided, and the old man came forward with wontons, blew the wontons and fed them to the leopard's head: "Strong man, please eat before you leave!"
Leopard Head couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears that fell into his eyes. He looked at the old man and nodded heavily: "Thank you, old man!"
The boss fed him another wonton and said, "This is a gift from a scholar named Zhou!"
The policeman urged: "It's almost done!"
Leopard Head knew what it was like to be hungry. He had never eaten such delicious wontons. He opened his mouth wide and said, "Boss, I am a warrior. I am not afraid of being burned. Pour it all into my mouth. Don't waste it. Don't waste it!"
The boss followed him and the wontons came to his mouth.
The leopard's head had a blistered tongue and his hands were trapped by chains. The boss stepped back and he was still eating wontons.
Countless flowers fell down on both sides of the road. The leopard head swallowed the last bit of meat and exhaled longly towards the sky.
This turbid breath turned black in the sky, and the decades of hidden wounds in his body were healed by this bowl of wontons and his state of mind at this moment.
Leopard Head laughed: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou! Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
"Today, I am a hero!"
The policemen on both sides were nervous because the bones on the leopard's head were banging loudly!
A bowl of hot soup fell into my stomach, and today I know that I am me!
Leopard Head laughed again and roared: "Haha! Have I entered the fourth level and second level?"
At the gate of the city, Zhou Dagu saw this scene, lowered his head and sighed: "Let's go!"
Bai Huahong followed him and took a step forward. Unexpectedly, Zhou Dagu stopped suddenly. She couldn't avoid it and bumped into his back. She covered her chest and backed away: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Dagu took off a sachet from his waist and handed it to her: "I remember that Taoists have magic to find people by smell. There should be some power in your family. I can tell the smell of you, and they must be able to tell the difference too."
Bai Huahong looked at the sachet that was embroidered with fine stitches, and asked in a funny tone: "Such a good stitch, is it the girl who gave it to you?"
"What does it have to do with you? Wear it and don't lose it. Remember to return it to me after you leave the city!"
"Hey stingy!"
The two of them walked together towards the city gate.
