Not long after, the person Su Mufeng and the other three had met before walked in under the leadership of his attendants.
After walking in, the cat slave just glanced at Mao Yuanwai and Su Mufeng, then knelt down directly and buried his face deeply on the ground. His rickety body was like a hill, slightly raised.
"Nephew, this is the cat slave." Mao Yuanwai was already accustomed to the cat slave's behavior and said to Su Mufeng: "His personality is very withdrawn and he doesn't like to interact with people on weekdays, but for cats and dogs, He understands it better than anyone else, and you will definitely have no problem asking him about the situation you encounter."
"I've heard of this person," Su Mufeng said to Member Mao, "I heard that he loves cats and calls himself a cat slave, right?"
"Haha, that's right." Mao Yuanwai nodded.
"By the way, I also heard that his character is a bit timid and he is always bullied by others in Beizhen, especially the blacksmith Du San, who bullies him every time he sees him after drinking too much." Su Mufeng said.
"No." The cat slave lowered his head and said loudly: "Young Master misunderstood. No one bullied me, not even Du San. They were all playing tricks on me and they all just liked playing with me."
"Are you kidding? Okay, maybe I heard it wrong." Su Mufeng nodded and looked at the cat slave: "Let's not talk about that. It's like this. My favorite cat is a cat breed from overseas. , there is no cat hair on the body, and overseas it is called a hairless cat. Some time ago, it suddenly stopped eating and was listless every day. Can you tell me the reason? "
"Where is it?" After hearing this, the cat slave raised his head cautiously and asked.
"Handu City." Su Mufeng said: "Because its condition was not very good, I did not take it with me. It is still in the Beizhu King's Mansion in Handu City."
"Then I don't know." When the cat slave heard this, he lowered his head again: "There are many reasons. I need to see it."
"Haha, this is simple. When you are free in a few days, I will send you to Handu City to treat Nephew Su Xian's beloved cat." When Mao Yuanwai heard this, he laughed and said, "Nephew Su Xian, what do you think? ?”
"Well, thank you so much, Yuan Wai!" Su Mufeng stood up quickly and bowed slightly to Mao Yuanwai.
"Haha, it's just a little effort, no problem, no problem." Mao Yuanwai shook his head.
Then Su Mufeng and Mao Yuanwai exchanged a few words, and after lunch they said goodbye to Mao Yuanwai. Mao Yuanwai vowed to tell Su Mufeng that after the recent affairs were finished, he would send the cat slave to Handu City as soon as possible. Su Mufeng once again expressed his gratitude to Maomao for seeing a doctor.
After leaving the cat village and getting on the carriage, Zhu Xian couldn't help it anymore. He looked at Su Mufeng in confusion and asked: "Master, I really can't understand. Aren't we here to interrogate the cat slave? How can we get around this?" You’ve been in such a big circle, but you didn’t ask anything?”
"Haha, you don't understand this." Su Mufeng looked back at the direction of Maozhuang, and then explained with a smile: "Didn't you say that this Mao Yuanwai was originally an official in Beijing, but for some unknown reason? And back to this North Town."
"People like this either want to leave a clean life and be famous forever, or else they want to turn over and return to the court. There are very few people who are really willing to be a rich man."
"Then no matter what the reason is, they will definitely not let themselves be involved in the human life case. Of course, as a Qingtian master, it is another matter."
"Oh, I understand." Zhu Xian suddenly said: "If you directly say that you want to see the cat slave and say that the cat slave is related to the demon cat case, the member of the Mao family will definitely refuse, and may even kick us out. So you don't say a word Don’t mention the demon cat case, and let the cat slaves take the initiative to call out the cat slaves through the issue of raising cats.”
"Yes, and the reason why I didn't ask too much about the cat slave is also for this reason." Su Mufeng nodded.
"But in this case, haven't we asked anything?" Zhu Xian said, "What if we see the cat slave?"
"Haha, didn't you say that Cat Slave will go to Bei Town to purchase things every once in a while? Although we didn't ask anything this time, we got to know Cat Slave after all. Wouldn't it be easy to ask questions next time in Bei Town? A lot?" Su Mufeng said with a smile: "Besides, who said we got nothing this time?"
Having said this, Su Mufeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"What gain?" Chen Sheng stood aside and asked doubtfully.
"Although it's just my guess, I'm afraid that Member Mao is not a cat lover." Su Mufeng said: "Even if he doesn't hate cats, I'm afraid he can't live up to the love spread by everyone in Beizhen."
"Why?" Zhu Xian asked curiously.
"First, you still remember the black cat that attacked me. The black cat attacked me, but was stopped by Chen Sheng and fell to the ground. Although it didn't kill it, it still suffered a lot. Mao He was still screaming when the police officers came out."
"If Mao Yuanwai was really a cat lover as rumored by the outside world, he would have paid attention to the black cat at that time, but in fact he didn't even look at it."
"That's true." Zhu Xian and Chen Sheng looked at each other, recalled it carefully, and nodded.
"Second, you still remember when I talked about hairless cats with Mr. Mao." Su Mufeng said: "Although the cat slave tried his best to hide it at that time, you can still see that he was very excited. After all, hairless cats exist. There is almost no such thing as Da Wei. If you really love cats, you will definitely be full of curiosity about them, just like that cat slave."
"But when the hair officer listened to me talk about hairless cats, the expression on his face didn't change at all. It looked like he didn't have any curiosity about hairless cats."
"Combining these two points, it can be seen that although Mao Yuanwai is famous for loving cats and has countless cats at home, he actually does not really love cats."
"Then why did he do this?" Zhu Xian asked doubtfully: "Love cats? What are the benefits?"
"There are only two reasons." Su Mufeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "First, to protect yourself. Second, to do what he likes."
Then Su Mufeng looked at Chen Sheng: "Chen Sheng, do you know any high-ranking officials in Tianyu City who are crazy about cats?"
"Master Zuo Xiang calls himself the 'Xiaoyao layman'. It is said that he likes cats very much and has twelve articles praising cats." Chen Sheng said.
"That's right." Su Mufeng nodded: "This official Mao was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to return to the court, but there was no good way, so he spread the name of being a cat lover to attract the left prime minister. Your lord’s attention.”
"After all, some things are a big deal to him, but to the left prime minister, they are just a matter of words." Su Mufeng nodded.
"Meow!" At this moment, a cat meowed suddenly.
Su Mufeng opened the door curtain and saw a huge black cat on the road ahead...
