Chapter 366 Old Man Feng(1/2)

Bai Yutang went outside to find a place to vomit, but the fifth master was a little helpless. Fortunately, he only ate a little bit, and it was not too unpalatable. However, when he thought of those fat insects, his stomach was overwhelmed.

I just arrived at the teahouse opposite the restaurant and asked for a pot of tea to rinse my mouth. After thinking about it, Bai Yutang asked the old man who poured him tea, "There are no insects and cat shit in this tea, right?"

The old man smiled and waved his hand, "No... there is mint here. I see several like you every day. They all came out to rinse their mouths after eating the Tianxing Qibao Banquet."

Bai Yutang had no choice but to drink tea, but it was indeed fresh and delicious.

When the old man saw Bai Yutang drinking tea, he smiled and bowed to him, "Congratulations."

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned and looked at the old man, "What are you congratulating?"

The old man looked at him in confusion, "Didn't your sweetheart's parents force you to eat the Tianxing Qibao Banquet? You mean that your family agrees."

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned and looked at the old man, "What... agree or not?"

"Oh." The old man touched his beard, "Didn't your sweetheart explain it to you?"

When Bai Yutang heard the word "love" and Zhan Zhao's face popped out of his head, he felt a little better and asked the old man, "Tell me in detail?"

The old man held the teapot and said, "Although this Tianxing Qibao Banquet is actually quite expensive, it tastes very good. Locals can get used to it, especially children like it very much, but outsiders are definitely not used to it. It's not that the taste is bad but that it's scary."

Bai Yutang nodded—I empathized with it.

"You have to have courage to eat the Tianxing Seven Treasures banquet." The old man said, "If a foreigner wants to get married with his hometown, he has the custom to eat the Tianxing Seven Treasures banquet. This means that he has the courage to share weal and woe, especially men. It is a sign of responsibility. I will not be bullied by girls. Read the full text. Young people are not very particular now, but the old people still care very much. Moreover, it is said that after eating the Tianxing Seven Treasures, the three gods of heaven, earth and man will take care of it, and this relationship will bear fruit. Even if you don't eat outside, when you come to propose marriage, your family will cook it for you, and you will have to eat at least half a pot of food. The cooking at this house is not as delicious as the cooking in the restaurant, and often a pot of bugs is delivered to you. If you don't dare to eat it, the adults at home will be unhappy. After eating it in the restaurant, the family members ask and say that they have eaten it, and the family members will not make things difficult for you..."

Bai Yutang was surprised, "So there is such a saying?"

"Looking at your squint, you probably don't dare to eat. You must have an elder from Tianxing Village in your heart. I'm afraid you will be forced to eat a pot of insects, so I'll take you to the restaurant to eat." The old man smiled and touched his beard, "I'm a person who cares about people, so I'm so lucky."

Bai Yu had a great enlightenment. So that's it. Zhan Zhao also brought a lot of people to eat together. If an elder in the Demon Palace asks, everyone can testify to him. It turns out that the cat didn't just want to tease him by prank, but there was a reason.

Bai Yutang was in a good mood and took out the tea money so that the old man didn't have to look for it.

The fifth master also touched a piece from his wallet and gave it to the old man. He didn't carefully study whether it was silver or gold. When the old man took it, he saw the golden piece in his hand, he opened his mouth in surprise, "Good oil, you're so rich when you bought my tea stall."

Bai Yutang smiled slightly and signaled that the old man didn't have to mind.

However, the old man said a little embarrassedly, "Young Master, have you exchanged it for a bank? The elderly people in Tianxing Village dare not collect more than one or two gold."

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned and puzzled, "Why is this?"

"Hey..." the old man said helplessly, "There may be a thief hidden in this Tianxing Village."

Bai Yutang looked at the old man and waited for him to continue talking.

"The old man in Tianxing Village is used to giving gold jewelry when he hires his daughter. There are treasures everywhere near this village, and it's a good dealer. Who doesn't have any real goods?" said the guy, "But I stole several of them in a row, and gold was stolen."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Didn't you report to the official?"

"Report!" The old man was helpless, "I was still stolen! And the government couldn't catch any thief. Seeing that no one was killed, he lost money, so he didn't pay much attention to it."

Bai Yutang thought about it and asked, "I heard that a peasant woman was robbed and killed before..."

"Oh! I must have done it alone!" the old man said confidently.

"So sure?" Bai Yutang wondered.

The old man nodded and told Bai Yutang about the common points of the crime with his fingers. "The targets of theft are all old people! No matter what they have, they just take gold! And they are all gold jewelry, at least one or two more! The old people didn't say anything, and even the neighbors didn't know that they had such a gold jewelry in their hands! And they came and went without a trace, and no one had seen a personal figure so far!"

Bai Yutang felt that it was indeed quite suspicious. "What else were stolen, but no one died so it was left alone, do you know?"

The old man pointed to a house not far away and said, "There is a Mr. Li living there. I always come to my place for tea. A month ago, he was stolen an old valuable gold jewelry. His family is rich, but the thief didn't steal anything else, so he stole the gold jewelry. It is said that it was a dowry prepared by the family for his daughter. It was awkward to lose it. It felt unlucky. Mr. Wu reported to the official position, but it was a pity that it would be left alone."

Bai Yutang nodded, exchanged the old man for money, and ran back to the inn.

So... Bai Yutang came back and told everyone seriously that he had discovered a clue.

Bai Yutang told the old man about the gold in the teahouse opposite. Of course, the old man's statement about the Tianxing Seven Treasure Banquet was omitted. The monster was not allowed to run away.

After hearing this, everyone decided to ask the staff member after dinner.

At the same time, Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang - if you drink tea, you will reward someone with a ingot of gold. How rich are you?

Bai Yutang smiled and happened to have a plate of fried shrimp on the table. He picked up a chopstick and gave it to Zhan Zhao's mouth.

After everyone finished the banquet and left, the diners in the lobby bowed to everyone and said something, "Congratulations, it's a happy marriage, and you'll have a son soon..."

Except for Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang, everyone else felt it was inexplicable.

Zhan Zhao looked at the sky and pretended not to hear it.

Bai Yutang walked with a smile, pretending not to hear it.

...

After leaving the restaurant, everyone rushed to Mr. Li's mansion.

Bai Yutang thought about his thoughts while walking. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this cat was considerate.

Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang looking at him while walking...

Guard Zhan was a little puzzled - was Yutang just gone out to drink herbal tea or ** soup? How happy?

The Li Mansion arrived in a few steps.

As soon as Ouyang smashed the door, a guy opened the door, poked his head out and looked at it, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is Mr. Li outside?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The guy looked up and down and asked, "What are you... looking for the master?"

Zhan Zhao took out his waist card, "I am an official..."

"The master is not at home." The guy answered hurriedly.

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Zhao Pu touched his chin - this guy felt like he was confused when he heard that Zhan Zhao was an official. This was obvious that he had a ghost in his heart.

Zhan Zhao naturally saw something strange and said, "It's okay, we heard that your family was stolen, so..."

"No!" The guy quickly shook his head, "Nothing was lost!" After saying that, he hurriedly closed the door.

Everyone frowned.

Xiao Liangzi curled his lips, "Hmph! There is no silver here!"

The little Sizi blinked, "Little Liangzi, there is no silver here."

Xiao Liang said seriously, "It means three times more serious than the 300 taels of silver here."

The little fourth son opened his mouth, "Oh... So that's it."

Everyone exchanged glances with each other. Zhao Pu and others found a nearby tea shop to sit. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang flashed, went up to the courtyard wall, and slipped into the Li Mansion.

After the guy closed the door, he ran to the mansion in the distance.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw it from afar and leaped to follow.

Both of them were good at light skills and soon caught up with the guy, without knowing it.

The guy rushed into a yard.

I saw a fat old woman standing at the door of the house in the yard, with the maids behind her, all of whom seemed to be anxious.

Seeing the guy running in, a girl hurriedly asked, "Is the master back?"

The guy shook his head, "It's not a concubine again."

...

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hid behind the rockery and looked at each other - it turned out that Mr. Li was really not here... Then the guy didn't lie, but why was he so panicked?

The two continued to watch, and then the mate continued, "It's an official."

The old lady was stunned, "Official officer? Why did the official officer come? Something happened to the master?"

"Madam, don't think too much, no!" Several girls quickly persuaded.

"Oh..." The old lady seemed a little broken, and couldn't stand steadily, and started crying, "What's this? I'm so old that I'm going to do this... The master has been there for two hours. If I come back, I'll fight one more time. What if he has something to do... Oh, I can't live!"

Several maids hurriedly persuaded them.

The guy also said, "Madam, don't be impulsive. The master kept telling him not to report to the official. If he reported to the official, he would not be able to take back the things, and the master would be in danger."

The young and old at home were so anxious that they looked like ants on the hot pan. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also confused - what's wrong?

Just as he was confused, he saw an old man walking from the other side.

The old man was wearing a black casual dress, looking quite rich, and was carrying a small bag in his hand.

As soon as he entered the yard, he frowned, "Why are you crying? Tell you not to speak!"

"Master!" Several servants were surprised and happy.

The old lady also clasped her hands together and said to the sky, "Amitabha!"

Mr. Li sent the maid and servant away, entered the house with the old lady, and closed the door.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang went up the roof, lifted the tiles and continued to peek.

I saw the old man open the bag, take out a brocade box from it, and open it... In the brocade box, there was a luxurious pure gold necklace.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.
To be continued...
