Peel and cut the pumpkin, put it in a bowl and put it in the cage drawer, and add some firewood to the stove that you got up in the morning. Taking advantage of the steaming pumpkin pieces, Bai Li processed the radish he bought yesterday and planned to pickle a radish strip.

Old man Tao was greedy, he ate a whole turtle yesterday, slept until midnight and got up to eat, saying that his stomach was bloated. When I got up this morning, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat anything, so I cooked a sweet and glutinous pumpkin porridge with a refreshing pickled radish, and steamed a basket of small steamed buns.

Bai Ze stretched his waist and walked into the kitchen, and the moment his eyes met Bai Li, he immediately became full of energy: "Li'er, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Pumpkin porridge, pickled radish, and steamed buns."

"It's so happy to have Li'er here, why don't you hug one?" As soon as Bai Ze stretched out his hand, he heard Bai Li say in an extremely gentle voice: "Get out!" ”

"Li'er is so fierce!" Bai Ze pouted, and then said: "But I like you to be so fierce, as long as Li'er is fierce enough, no one else can see Li'er's goodness, then Li'er will marry me as a lady sooner or later." ”

"Haven't you woken up yet? If you don't wake up, go back and go back to sleep. Bai Li took the spoon and pointed to the other side.

"Wake up, wake up, I'll come over and see if there's any place I can help." Bai Ze laughed with him.

"If you really want to help, just exit from here, and don't come in until I've cooked a meal."

"You really don't need my help?"

"No, it's good if you don't bother me. Oh, by the way, if you're really busy, pack your things and we'll move later. ”

"Moving? Move to that little yard? Bai Ze not only did not quit, but came to Bai Li: "Didn't you say three days, now the three-day deadline has not yet arrived, Li'er, what are you anxious about?" ”

"It's better to rely on others than on yourself, and it's better to clean up your own yard." Bai Li thought for a moment and asked, "Since we left that little broken courtyard, have you seen Master Han?" ”

"I've seen it." Bai Zeyan said insincerely: "It's in the back kitchen of the spring banquet." ”

"Oh." Bai Li sighed softly, took down the pumpkin pieces that had been steamed, mashed them into puree, and then boiled the porridge.

Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

There is indeed a Master Han in the spring banquet, but that Master Han is fake, and the real Master Han has become a gluttonous belly meal.

As soon as the sweet and glutinous pumpkin porridge was cooked, Bai Li was about to call Old Man Tao to get up, when he heard a sound of footsteps, followed by two officials who broke in, one left and one right, and set up Bai Ze who was lying outside the kitchen.

"Two officials, what are you doing here? How can you come to the temple to catch people? Bai Li was holding a knife and a radish strip, and when he saw this formation, he didn't put the knife down, so he went out directly and stopped the two officials: "What did he do?" Why did you arrest him? ”

"The girl misunderstood, we are not here to get people, but to invite people."

"Please? Is that what your government invited? ”

"It's urgent, I can't take care of it." The two officials said, picked up Bai Ze and walked out the door.

The people don't fight with the officials, Bai Li still understands this truth, but seeing that Bai Ze was taken away, she was in no mood to continue making breakfast, and said a few words to Old Man Tao through the window, put down the knife, and went to the mansion.

On the way, I heard people talk about it, and I realized that someone had died in the town last night.

Bai Li remembered Bai Ze in his heart, so he didn't have the intention to listen to the excitement, and hurried to the side of the mansion, and when he was about to arrive at the mansion, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man with long hair and short beard coming out of the opposite wall. The face was grayish-white, with unkempt hair, haggard, about forty-five years of age, deep wrinkles and sunken hair, but the outline of the face was angular. The man's lips are thin, and when he doesn't speak, he is in a state of pursing. The color of the lips is strange, like rose petals that have been soaked in heavy rain and have been decolorized.

Bai Li knew that he was not a human being, but a revenant, and she didn't know why this revenant soul had to come out of the wall of someone else's house, but she knew that she didn't have the time to study his affairs now. Lowering her head and taking her eyes off the soul of the middle-aged man, she walked quickly to the gate of the county office, and was about to get close to the official brother guarding the door, but she heard Gao Zhan calling her name.

"Bai Li, why are you again?"

"Gao Zhan?"

"What do you mean by that? This is the government office, I am the fast catcher in the government office, I should be here to appear, you are a little cook cook, what are you doing here to the government office? ”

"I'm looking for someone." Bai Li saw that there was a stretcher behind Gao Zhan, and there was someone lying on the stretcher, so he let go to the side: "You guys invite first, I'll just go in." ”

Gao Zhan made a gesture, and the officials behind him carried the stretcher up the steps, and when he was about to enter the door, he was suddenly stopped by Bai Li.

"Wait a minute, Gao Zhan, you wait a minute."

"What do you want to do?" Gao Zhan looked back impatiently: "This is the government office, it is a place for public affairs, you little girl, can you not shout in this kind of place, if you let the master know, you will have to be locked up for two days." ”

"The lord in your mouth refers to Lord Xin, right? I know him, he is a clear and upright good official, so he will not be like you, indiscriminately accusing people. ”

"I'm too lazy to tell you, anyway, this is the yamen, not a place for you to wander around with nothing to do."

"That eye of yours saw me wandering? Are you deaf or blind, I just told you that I am here to find someone. Also, I ask you, who is the man on this stretcher? ”

"Why should I tell you?" Gao Zhan clasped his hands around his chest and clenched his saber: "I won't tell you, I'll see what you can do to me." ”

"What can I do with you, chop it up? Do you want me or not? The bones are so hard, the mouth stinks, and there is no extra meat on the body, what am I wasting my knife for? I'm just reminding you that this person didn't die by accident, you have to be careful and don't make any more unjust, false and wrongful convictions. ”

"What do you mean? How do you know if this person didn't die accidentally? ”

"Did he die last night? Did you fall into the ditch and die? Is it a doctor, and his home is near the government? ”

"Humph!" Gao Zhan snorted coldly: "Did you hear that?" ”

"That's right, I heard that." Bai Li nodded and pointed to the dead man lying on the stretcher: "But it wasn't an accidental death, but he told me himself." If you don't believe it, let the servants in your government check his injuries, whether they are major or minor, before or after death, and I promise that you will make a lot of new discoveries. ”

"At a young age, pretending to be a ghost!" Gao Zhan shook off his hand and instructed the officials on both sides of the door: "Take care of her, don't let her come in." ”
