Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ran to the living room to see Duke Jing and Duke Ruiyang... Before they entered the living room door, they smelled a fishy smell.

Zhan Zhao touched his nose and glanced at the two cats that were led to the door.

The Fifth Master felt a little disgusted, who put the dead fish nearby?

Entering the living room, the smell became even stronger, as if Houttuynia cordata had been sprinkled all over the floor.

The fifth master stepped into the threshold with his left foot and stepped back with his right foot. Zhan Zhao was also puzzled. When he entered the room, he saw... My dear, there are two dirty old men sitting at the table.

It’s no wonder that Mahan of the Dynasty was so surprised. He didn’t even believe that these two were the two princes. If Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang hadn’t seen them in the afternoon, he would hardly have recognized them.

The vegetable soup that the two princes were wearing looked like they had fallen into the swill bucket, and the key point was that it smelled fishy... But if you look carefully, they were wearing quite good clothes, so they should have fallen into the swill bucket while wearing good clothes.

The fifth master still stood in front of the threshold and refused to take a step forward. He felt that these two old men had no choice but to burn their clothes and throw them into the river to rinse them before coming back up!

Zhan Zhao glanced at the two cats that came in behind him, fearing that they would take the two old men away as big fish.

After driving the cat away, Zhan Zhao asked the two of them, "You two princes... why are you dressed like this..."

The two old men were also quite embarrassed, and their expressions were not very good. They probably felt uncomfortable smelling it.

"I'm sorry." Jinggong looked ashamed. He originally wanted to use his sleeves to cover his face, but when he smelled the smell of his sleeves, he was so sickened that he almost vomited. Zhan Zhao was so frightened that he took two steps back.

First block Bai Yutang and then talk.

The Fifth Master reached out and poked Zhan Zhao's back in front of him - cats, "so many cats, so many cats!"

When Zhan Zhao turned around, he had no choice but to see that several cats were actually coming behind them. They all looked into the house and rubbed against Wu Ye's trouser legs.

Zhan Zhao kept chasing the cat away - are you here to beg for food or are you taking the opportunity to rub the cat's legs?!

"We had dinner, and we heard that the scenery in Kaifeng was very beautiful, so we went out for a walk." Jinggong explained, "It turned out that we just had a strange phenomenon!"

Although Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were disgusted, they still raised their heads and glanced at the faces of the two old men after hearing this.

Both of their expressions were a bit disgusting, maybe because of the smell, but when it came to "natural phenomena", there was no special change.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other subconsciously - don't these two old men know about Youlian Yuanbao? Or are they just pretending?

The two of them remained silent and continued to listen to what they said.

"I want to go back after reading this. Who knew there would be a lot of trouble on the road!" Jinggong shook his head, "We originally brought a few followers and a carriage with us. We thought we would take the carriage back if we got tired."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded - yes, what about the carriage? It also fell into the swill bucket? How big is the bucket?

"The problem is that the horse pulling the cart was frightened for some reason and ran away with the cart." Duke Ruiyang felt aggrieved when he said it, "and the two horses were rushing towards us... We hid in the alley.

, which is a coincidence..."

"There happened to be a man in the alley pushing a cart with two buckets full of leftover fish." Jinggong sighed, "Suddenly the cart overturned, and the contents of the two buckets were splashed on both of us.

It’s on me.”

"Part of our entourage went after the carriage, and a few of them wanted to help us... As soon as the carriage was thrown into chaos, the street became chaotic. Many people ran here to avoid the carriage, and they scattered our men.

Already."

"Then we finally got up from the ground. The man pulling the cart was probably afraid that we would cause trouble for him, so he ran away with the cart... The cart even hit me."

Jinggong pointed to his legs and said, "They are all bruised and I can't even stand firmly..."

"I helped Brother Jing and walked a few steps into the alley, hoping to find a cleaner place to sit for a while and wait for me to come down... Who knew that as soon as I walked to the door of a house, a big dog rushed out from inside. I don't know who it was.

He disliked the smell of us or something, so he chased us and started barking like he was trying to eat us."

"I

The two of them had no choice but to run towards the back of the alley... As they rushed out of the alley, they were hit by a carriage on the road." Jinggong supported his waist and pointed to Ruiyanggong's hand.

All were injured.

"Fortunately, the carriage is not too fast, it is enough for both of us."

"And that coachman went too far!" Duke Ruiyang said with great dissatisfaction. "He actually said that we were just cheating, and he wanted to whip us both with a horse whip!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked them up and down - Pengci's Hua Zi and you two... can't be said to be somewhat similar, they can only be said to be exactly the same...

"The two of us limped away from the fierce groom. On the one hand, our bodies hurt and on the other hand, we smelled bad. Moreover, our eyes were blurred and we couldn't see clearly. It had been too long since we had been to Kaifeng City, and we didn't recognize anyone.

…I didn’t have any money with me and no one was around me… Finally I saw the Kaifeng government office, so I thought of coming to the government office for help.”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood. Although they didn't have a good impression of the two old men, they were so unlucky after all that they deserved sympathy.

Zhan Zhao asked the servants in the yamen to get hot water, prepared a guest room, and asked them to take a bath and change clothes. They cleaned up first, and then found a doctor to check them and see how they were doing. In addition, Zhan Zhao also sent

I asked some government servants to prepare the carriage and waited for the two old men to pack it up and send them back.

But before the yamen officer could run out, two old men stopped him.

"Alas..." Jinggong suddenly stopped and said, "It just so happens that we both want to meet Mr. Bao, so we are in no hurry to leave."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the two old men limping and following the boy to the guest room, even their backs looked miserable...

Zhan Zhao touched his chin and said "Hmm~".

When Bai Yutang saw people leaving, he dragged Zhan Zhao and said we should take a shower too.

"Hey, you don't think there's anything wrong with these two old men?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

Fifth Master nodded, no, it is not easy to be unlucky like this, "This state is like being glared at by Hong Qitian."

After finishing speaking, Master Wu tasted the food for a while and then looked at Zhan Zhao - something seemed wrong.

Zhan Zhao pulled him to the door, "And look at the way they were just now, they said they wanted to send them back and refused in a hurry. They have no friendship with adults, why are they still waiting here in such an embarrassing situation? In addition, these two old men

How can my family not be worried if I can't find it outside? I'm not in a hurry to go back!"

Zhan Zhao grumbled and dragged Fifth Master out, and waved to Lin Yehuo's mute who was strolling in the yard, and the mute ran out after them.

When we arrived at the door, we easily found two strings of dirty footprints.

Several government officials were coming out with buckets to wash the road. Zhan Zhao asked them to wait and pointed to the mute's smelly swill footprints on the ground.

Mute was helping Xiao Wu and Yin Xue take care of the tiger cubs in the yard, and managed to coax the three little ones to sleep. When Zhan Zhao called him, he followed him out with his tail wagging.

As a result, when he sniffed it near Zhan Zhao's finger, the mute immediately took three steps back, shook his head, bared his teeth and made a whining sound. He was very unhappy.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and felt even stranger... Logically speaking, whether the mute is a wolf or a dog, they are not afraid of this rancid and fishy smell, right? Moreover, those cats clearly didn't react just now, why do dogs seem to be like this?

Very annoying?

The two of them walked forward along the footprints. Not to mention, although it was dark now, the moonlight shone on the ground and on the wet things, so the footprints were still very obvious.

Although the mute was whimpering, he still followed the two of them and left together.

The two people and the dog followed the footprints for a short distance, and finally arrived at the entrance of an alley.

The alley was pitch dark with no moonlight, but the smell was still quite obvious. Both Master Wu and Dumb stood at the intersection and refused to go in.

Zhan Zhao ran to a nearby inn, borrowed a lantern, and entered the alley holding the lantern.

Bai Yutang and Dumb had no choice but to walk in together.

After a series of footprints, there were two large swill buckets placed on the wall in front, both covered with lids. The ground next to them seemed to have been cleaned, but they were still there.

There are some residual stains.

These two swill buckets were placed next to a door. Zhan Zhao felt that this area looked a bit familiar...

Bai Yutang felt that these two barrels were too big. Can a truck carry them away?

Just when I was wondering, I heard a "creak", the door opened, and a waiter came out carrying a bucket. When I looked up, I saw two people at the door, trembling with fear...

Zhan Zhao recognized this guy, "Xiao Chen?"

The guy patted his chest and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhan, Mr. Bai Wu... why are you two standing here? Pay careful attention to your steps and don't step on swill."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the two large barrels next to them.

Zhan Zhao seemed to understand something - this was the back door of a shop selling fish balls. His fish balls were famous in Kaifeng City, and they added mint leaves to the fish balls to remove the fishy smell, so many people who don't like fish eat them.

I love eating his fish balls. The reason why the mute hates the taste so much probably has something to do with it... Dogs hate the mint flavor the most, so no wonder the mute dislikes it.

"Sigh." Xiao Chen complained as he splashed water on the ground with a water ladle, "I don't know who knocked over my swill bucket today. It smells bad. It still smells after being washed several times."

Zhan Zhao looked around and asked Xiao Chen, "Does anyone have a dog in this alley?"

Xiao Chen was amused, shook his head and said, "Our alley is famous for dogs not coming here."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - the two old men also said that a dog was chasing them...

I looked at the swill bucket again.

Zhan Zhao felt that the bucket was not light... and the man only said that his bucket had fallen over and he did not lift the cart.

When Xiao Chen saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looking at the buckets, he said, "This bucket in our house is filled with several hundred kilograms. I don't know who is so capable and pushed it over, and both of them were emptied!"

"Empty?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"That's right!" Xiao Chen nodded, "If this thing is pushed down, at most half of it will be spilled. You have to lift it up and tip it upside down to empty it... Let's not talk about how strong it is, but also how tall the person who pours it is!

Just now my shopkeeper also said that something is wrong."

"Does someone come to collect your swill every day before dawn?" Zhan Zhao asked.
