The armory is located near the official yard in the city, almost waiting for the place where the Duting and the county warehouse are sandwiched. Not far away is the place where the Workers' Office is serving pounding and punishing. Hundreds of thieves are responsible for pounding the grain here and are also detained here at night. There are always military guards inspecting each other, which is more closely related than the usual location.

This kind of guard was not difficult for Liu Chou, but he did not go rashly. He walked all the way from the beast turning into a demon. The more Liu Chou saw and heard, the more he became more and more cautious. Although he had thoroughly explored, he still planned to inquire about the next day and wait for an opportunity to start.

After the wine, I left and said nothing all night.

The next day, Liu Chou asked for leave and said that he wanted to buy some clothes, leather mats, etc., so Zuo Geng naturally would not refuse. He also sent Ren Fu to accompany him as he spoke, following him and took things to him.

Liu Chou solved the big case and gave the money to reward the soldiers. The soldiers at the pavilion were naturally quite successful. Although he didn't say anything on the road, he was also proud of his chest and belly. In addition to being careful with Liu Chou, he was greeted by those who were familiar with each other. During the conversation, he unconsciously tied it around his waist. The money he handed over to him was exposed, and the lust was overflowing.

Liu Chou ignored him and just took some gossip while walking, and the left and right were mixed with all kinds of armory. Ren Fu naturally knew everything, which was a little more credible than what he said last night, allowing Liu Chou to explore the situation of the left and right.

On the way, I bought some gurban soft towels. Liu Chou intentionally, the two of them came to the county government office in Chengzhong, which is the center of Liyang. In addition to various government offices, there are also the residences where the wealthy families in the city are located. There are many food and servants around, and they gather in a lot of food and food. The houses are much stronger than the grass-top mud embryos near the West Gate. Wood beams, bricks, bluestone foundations are built, horse piles are tied in front of the door, and stone wells are secluded behind the house. However, the streets are still full of smell, mules, horses are feces, and human urine are naturally dry. In the dust, the streets are full of brown dust, which rises from time to time as the carts are crushed and horses are running, and it is prosperous and dirty.

The two walked on the street, and Liu Chou seemed to accidentally scan the surroundings, high and low, high and low, doors and windows, and the same gossip in their mouths. Ren Fu was by his side and couldn't help but respond. Suddenly, a hurried figure emerged from the narrow alley next to him, unable to escape, and plunged into Ren Fu's arms.

This was really not a bad thing. Ren Fu was immediately angry and cursed at the weak and thin figure in front of him, rubbing his head and grinning his teeth and apologizing, "Pickled goods, so bold, you dare to hit Naigong!"

"Sir, I'm sorry..." The ragged servant Mo Kouzi apologized, bowed repeatedly, and said in a timid voice: "The villain knows his mistake, please forgive me if you want me!" This man's head, dirt, and clothes are not covered, and he looks like a beggar.

Ren Fu was swearing himself. Liu Chou's eyes swept over and suddenly became a little surprised, but his mind immediately moved, letting him scold him. After waiting for a while, he waved his hand and stopped: "Forget it, let him go!"

Since Liu Chou spoke, Ren Fu could only give up in disappointment, glared at him angrily, and shouted: "Why don't you get out of here!"

The beggar thanked him so much, he smiled and retreated almost, then pulled his feet and ran towards the long street. After a flash of effort, he disappeared without a trace. Then Ren Fu turned around and looked at Liu Chou and smiled, "Please, please."

Liu Chou smiled slightly and said, "Don't hurry, let's take a look at your waist."

Ren Fu reached out and touched his hand, his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly lowered his head and groped up and down his arms, and said in surprise: "Sir, money, money is lost!"

"It's not that I lost it, it was stolen by the beggar just now." Liu Chou looked at the end of the long street where the servant left, and then said lightly: "Let's go, go here to Duting to report the case, and see how they say it."

Hearing this, Ren Fu's heart was calm, and immediately he thought that Liu Chou did it on purpose, just to show his face in the eighteen Du Pavilions in the city. However, Liu Chou had just seen a beggar stealing without stopping. His real purpose was to enter Du Pavilion in the name of reporting the case and find another way to enter the armory close.

The Du Pavilion is called Dongqiao Du Pavilion, which is similar to the Ximen Du Pavilion where Liu Chou is located. It is also like the nature of a street police station. It is called Shuwu. Not only did it know Du Pu who changed Liu Chou, it also served together and had the same robes.

In the name of reporting the case, Liu Chou soon met Shuwu, begging for the thief.

The case of Liu Chou's disappearance has spread throughout many Dutings in the city, and Shuwu is no exception. He and Du Pu themselves have a friendship and seem familiar and intimate when they meet. When they come up, they laughed and said, "Okay, Du Pu, your ability has increased so much. Such strange cases can be found. It can be seen that sooner or later, you will be our superiors. You can support me one or two at that time, and don't forget it."

Liu Chou smiled and bowed, "Brother Shuwu, don't laugh at me. Just solve a small case. How about supporting officials? It's really shameful."

Shuwu laughed and brought Liu Chou and Ren Fu into the room, sat upright, then squinted his eyes and said, "Brother Du Pu is here, it's just to boast, but is there something wrong?"

"Yes, but I have a serious matter. I'm here to report theft," Liu Chou pointed at Ren Fu beside him. "That was just now, the thousand dollars that my subordinates had in their arms were stolen by someone."

"Oh? There is something wrong?" Shu Wu frowned and looked over with Liu Chou's fingers: "What's the situation?"

Ren Fu immediately informed everything that had just happened. Shuwu thought for a moment and suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Du Pu lost his property. I can guarantee that I will be able to retrieve it. If I can't find it, I am willing to bear the loss, but..."

At this point, he pondered and thought, as if he didn't know how to continue. He knew the meaning of the six scandals and songs. He immediately said, "My brothers in robes, but it's okay to say it."

Shuwu was moved and said, "Okay! It's true that he is a robe. His friendship is very deep. Since this is the case, I will say bluntly - Brother Du Pu, you are praised by Shangguan, but I don't know that I am in a difficult situation here. The beggar who steals your wealth has actually committed dozens of crimes here. The county magistrate was furious and ordered me to solve the case soon. I am in a dilemma. If you report the case again, I'm afraid my life will be difficult..."

"It's okay, whether to report the case or not is only a matter of time. Brother Shuwu said," Liu Chou immediately responded: "It's just a thousand coins, but it's not in my eyes."

"That's thank you, but I'm not just asking Brother Du Pu for this festival, but also a heartless request."

"But I want me to help you solve the case and catch the thief?" Liu Chou nodded and agreed: "If this is the case, I will agree too."

Shuwu laughed dryly and looked at Ren Fu. Liu Chou knew something was wrong. He waved his hand to let Ren Fu wait outside. After he left, Shuwu whispered awkwardly: "I not only want to ask Brother Du Pu to help, but if I solve the case, I still want to... and... when I report it."

I thought about it a few times, but I couldn't say it in a hurry. Liu Chou is also a human being. Seeing his eyes flashing and his words concealed, I guessed the meaning of the words that had not been finished, so I said bluntly: "The best way to solve the case is to return to Brother Shuwu, is it good?"

"Oh, if this is true, then I am willing to give you thousands of dollars and add the rewards for solving the case, and return to Brother Du Pu," Shuwu said excitedly: "Only by this, I am afraid that I can maintain my current status. I am really wronged Brother Du Pu."

"There is no need to mention this matter again, that's it!" Liu Chou waved his hand, interrupting Shu Wu's long-term discussion, and said directly: "Brother Shu Wu, please order someone to clean up a place in the pavilion. I will live here in the past three days to help you solve the case!"

"Okay! Thank you!"

The beggar stole money and fled from the streets, passed through alleys and turned to the north of the city. He looked at the left and right and fell into a remote and dilapidated old house. The walls were tilted and the walls were disrepaired for years, and it was just a gathering place for beggars to gather on weekdays.

After passing through the weedy courtyard and walking around the wing room behind it, the beggar's face did not diminish slightly, but became paler. He carefully held the money in his hand, smiled, and knocked on the door twice before he dared to step in.

The broken house was decayed, but I never thought that the room was still complete. The wooden couch was placed in the middle, with guifu (guifu, pronounced as the same as the same) bowls on it, with boiled shoulders and burned dog legs, piled up in it, and some bamboo jars of wine were also piled up. On the edge of the couch, there were three young and strong men wearing gauze shirts sitting on the sheepskin. They didn't use chopsticks, and they took the cooked meat with their hands and chewed it all over the face.

The beggar came in carefully with him. The three of them looked up and glanced. The two of them lowered their heads and chewed again. Only one of them sucked their noses a few times, their mouths squirted, and spit out the yellow phlegm with fine slags in the flesh. Their eyes fell on the beggar's hands and he laughed:

"Yo, it looks pretty good today."

The beggar quickly stepped forward and put a string of sword coins at the man's hand, bowed, and looked flattering: "Slaughter the fat sheep and respect the fathers."

The man reached out to grab the money and weighed it. He seemed to be quite satisfied with the gain. He was still in the pile of compost sacks. The other man turned his head at this time, frightened his face, looked up and down with a bad face, "Can you hide your own personal information?"

The beggar shivered in fear, shook his head with a wince, and said, "I dare not, I dare not, I dare not!"

"Okay, I'll believe you today. If I find out, I won't take off your skin!" The man snorted, grabbed a dog's leg that had been gnawed a few times and threw it over, and said, "I'll take it back if you reward you."

The beggar picked up the meat and left the room as if he was running away. He ran into the small courtyard opposite the door of the wing room. He tried hard to move the broken house blocked by a crack and barely squeezed in.

The courtyard is not big and smelly. There are only two semi-decadent buildings inside that they never had in the door. The eaves also hang down low. They will collapse at some time, with grass all over the ground, but the walls are bound with thorns and vines, which cannot be climbed easily.

Just as the beggar opened the house, a slight slight silence came from the two rooms.

"Don't be afraid, it's me," the beggar shouted quickly, raised the dog's legs in his hand, and said happily: "I have meat, come and eat!"

One of the wing rooms immediately crawled out of a child, using his hands and feet together, and came to the beggar in a dog-like manner. The child was naked, but his back, abdomen, limbs, and even the neck were covered with a layer of black hair. After careful look, you can also find that the black hair grew on the original animal skin, bonding to the child's own skin, and it was almost integrated without distinguishing each other.

The child's hands and feet were deformed and twisted, and his palms and feet were gone, leaving only a bare meat pile, but thick cocoon scars had grown on it. After a while, he could no longer see what he once looked like.

The beggar handed the dog's legs to the child's mouth, wiped the soil and gravel on the surface with heartache, and said, "Come on, eat."

The furry child turned his head, bit it up with a slant, then shook his head, tear off a piece with force, chewed it, and made a happy whine sound from his mouth. The beggar next to him was both pity and sad, stretching out his other hand to touch the fur above his head, constantly turning the dog's legs to make it easier for him to get down his mouth.

The child's behavior, or the appearance of a human being, is already like a dog or wolf!
