Summer is here, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Guobei County is also very lively.
Recently, many outsiders have come to Guobei County, from nearby counties and from Kuaiji Prefecture.
Some of these people heard about the miraculous effects of the City God here and came here to pay homage to the City God. Most of them heard that there was a stunningly beautiful oiran here and came here specifically to have a look at her beauty.
Unexpectedly, this oiran woman likes to ask questions, saying that someone can solve her questions and satisfy her without charging a penny.
But no one could give a satisfactory answer to the oiran.
Instead of retreating despite the difficulties, everyone became more and more courageous.
At noon that day, the weather was a bit gloomy, so Wang Zhe made two "beggar's chickens" at home.
Open the mud sealed outside and untie the lotus leaves, and the fragrant aroma suddenly comes out.
The native dog stared straight at the roasted chicken.
"Laifu, I'll give you the chicken butt, be careful it gets burned!"
The native dog bit the chicken's butt and scratched its ears and cheeks because it was so hot. Suddenly it raised its head and stared at the wall.
I saw a person lying on the wall, a stranger, in his twenties, with a handsome face and clear eyes, looking straight at the beggar's chicken in Wang Zhe's hand.
Woof, woof, woof, the puppy started barking.
"It smells great. Brother, I have good wine here. Can I borrow your roast chicken for a few drinks?"
"No!" Wang Zhe said calmly.
"OK!"
The man shrank from the wall, and a moment later there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw that it was the man just now, wearing a blue robe, with a sword hanging from his waist. He was the young master of an unknown noble family.
"Brother, I'm Zhuo Siwei. I have some old wine here. Do you want to try it?" He was holding a pot of wine in his hand.
"don't want."
"Brother, meeting each other is fate..."
After a cup of tea,
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious. Brother, your craftsmanship is unparalleled. It's better than Tianxiang Tower in Lin'an, and even better than Bashengzhai in Beijing!"
Zhuo Siwei's mouth was full of oil. He ate one of the two "beggar's chickens".
Ouch, woo, the puppy beside him roared in a low voice.
"The chicken butts are not for you. Don't worry. I will bring you ten roast chickens tomorrow, ten!" Zhuo Siwei stretched out his two palms.
Laifu seemed to understand and immediately lowered his voice.
In all the days he has been in this world, Wang Zhe has never seen such a cheeky and familiar man.
No matter what he said, he would not leave, just for a chicken.
"This chicken is really delicious. Brother Wang, my wine is made from flowers. Why don't you try it?"
"When you've eaten and drank enough, it's time for you to go." Wang Zhe said.
"Well, thank you, let's go!" Zhuo Siwei cupped his fists and stood up to leave. He suddenly stopped after taking two steps.
"I think my brother is also a wonderful person. How about I invite you to the Chunxiao Tower tonight to see the beautiful face of the courtesan and treat me to a meal of chicken as a thank you?"
"No." Wang Zhe refused directly.
"Laifu, you must not eat anything given by a stranger. If you eat it, it will be made into dog meat casserole!"
As soon as Zhuo Siwei walked away, Wang Zhe started training the dog.
Unexpectedly, towards evening, Zhuo Siwei came again and invited him to Chunxiao Tower again. He also brought ten roast chickens to Laifu.
"There are so many that it can't finish. It's such a hot day and it will go bad if it doesn't finish."
Wang Zhe only kept one, and then drove away the annoying Zhuo Siwei.
"Laifu, you have to be careful with that person, he may not have good intentions!"
The puppy hugged the roast chicken and ate it happily, regardless of what Wang Zhe said.
"Hey, you're a foodie!"
The next morning, Chunxiao Tower.
"Brother, we meet again!" Zhuo Siwei greeted Wang Zhe cheerfully.
This morning, someone went to the Yamen to report that someone had died in Chunxiao Tower.
"Where's the oiran? Let her come out. I have something to ask her!" said Zhu Xiao, who was leading the team.
"Oh, Mr. Catcher, this matter has nothing to do with the oiran lady. The guest who had the accident is not in her room either."
"I have the final say if anything happens, let him come out quickly!" Zhu Xiao said coldly.
"This catcher of yours has quite a bad temper!" Zhuo Siwei said upon seeing this.
"Well, he's quite capable. He can kill a cow with one punch!"
"Oh, that's awesome!" Zhuo Siwei raised his thumb after hearing this.
Wang Zhe stared at the body lying on the bed. The deceased was a fat middle-aged man, with his upper body bare and extremely pale skin. There were no obvious wounds on his body except for a bloodstain on his nostril.
There was a shivering young woman in the room. She was the girl who accompanied this person yesterday. She was fine last night. When she got up in the morning, she found that she was cold and dead.
She was frightened at that time.
"Master, I didn't kill this person!"
"The deceased feels strange, as if something has been taken away from his body." Wang Zhe said, touching the body of the deceased.
"Well, it should be that the essence or marrow of the body has been sucked away." A voice came from the side.
Wang Zhe turned around and found Zhuo Siwei touching his chin and staring at the body.
"Why are you everywhere? I'm here to investigate the case, and those who have nothing to do with it will wait behind you!"
"Yes, yes, I just came in to see the excitement!" Zhuo Siwei smiled after hearing this.
Wang Zhe squinted his eyes. He used the "qi-gazing technique" to see a trace of residual black energy on the body of the deceased, which was faint and lingering on the head.
Is this aura a monster?
When Wang Zhe came out of the investigation site, he unexpectedly found that Zhu Xiao, whom the arrester had been clamoring for just now, was missing.
After asking, I found out that he was called back by the county magistrate. He was walking in a hurry and looked ugly.
Someone died in Chunxiao Tower. Logically, it should be closed until the case is fully investigated before it can operate normally.
However, the place was not affected at all and continued to operate as usual. It was also full of guests tonight because the oiran was going to play music for everyone tonight.
Why are these people here? Isn't it just for the oiran?
Summer nights make people a little irritable, and the gloomy sky doesn't know when it will rain to relieve the heat.
Wang Zhe stood on a high place and looked in the direction of Chunxiao Tower.
He found that besides him, there was another person on the roof, who seemed to be looking at Chunxiao Tower as well.
Suddenly there was a beautiful piano sound coming from the Chunxiao Tower. The melodious sound of the piano floated out of the Chunxiao Tower and floated around with the hot wind.
good!
After the song, everyone cheered.
The song ends and everyone disperses, but their thoughts are still unfinished.
Someone had already offered a price of one thousand taels of silver, hoping to spend the night with the courtesan, but was rejected.
Gradually, as the night progressed, the entire Guobei County became quiet.
Wang Zhe was still standing in the dark, and the man still hadn't left.
Until dawn, no monster appeared.
It started to rain at dawn. The pattering was not heavy at first, but by noon, it started to rain heavily.
There were thunders and heavy rains, and there was a curtain of rain between heaven and earth.
It rained heavily all day long.
I didn't see Xiao the next morning either.
