Chapter 298 Cat Brothers Are Still Reliable

The tortoise is also known as the rolling brocade.

This cat usually has three colors of fur: black, white and yellow.

But the one in front of them only has two colors, black and yellow, which are scattered all over the body, and looks dirty.

This appearance is very good among tortoises.

This cat looks ugly and cute, and it meows non-stop when it sees Doctor Fang.

Its voice sounds a little hoarse, not as loud as when Li Xuan is acting coquettish.

Doctor Fang quickly squatted down, hugged the tortoise into his arms, and said lovingly:

"Gray, I'm back."

"Have you been taking good care of the house?"

When talking to Gray, Doctor Fang couldn't help but raise his tone a little.

Gray meowed with his hoarse voice, responding to Doctor Fang's words.

But it saw that there were suddenly so many strangers in the house today, and couldn't help but curl up in Doctor Fang's arms with some fear.

But its curious big eyes couldn't help but secretly observe Princess Ankang and Li Xuan in her arms.

"Doctor Fang, I didn't expect you to have a cat."

Princess Ankang said with some surprise.

Doctor Fang smiled slightly, and then explained: "It can't be said that I am raising Huihui."

"Huihui usually catches mice to eat by himself, and I don't need to prepare food for it."

"If you really want to talk about it, Huihui and I should be considered roommates."

Li Xuan also looked at Huihui in Doctor Fang's arms curiously, meowed, and said hello.

As a result, Huihui just looked at Li Xuan curiously and didn't respond.

"This guy looks a little socially anxious."

Li Xuan said in his heart.

Princess Ankang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she put Li Xuan in her arms on the ground, letting him move freely.

Doctor Fang looked at it and couldn't help but remind him:

"Miss, the cat you raise is very precious. It's better to hold it here."

"If it gets lost around here, it will be difficult to find it again."

Princess Ankang smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, Doctor Fang, Ah Xuan is very well behaved and won't run away."

Seeing the other party say so, Doctor Fang didn't persuade him much.

Doctor Fang held Huihui and said a few words, then let it go.

After all, it was in front of the guests, and he kept holding the cat, which was not very good for people to see.

After all, as the host, he still had to pay attention to some hospitality.

After Huihui was put down, he did not leave immediately, but hid at Doctor Fang's feet.

Li Xuan seized the opportunity, pressed forward step by step, and immediately came in front of Huihui.

Huihui buried his head timidly, not daring to look at Li Xuan who was full of aggression.

Seeing that he was so easy to bully, Li Xuan couldn't help but be a little bolder.

At this time, Doctor Fang and Princess Ankang also started talking.

Doctor Fang was a little surprised. He just returned Li Xuan yesterday.

For such a small matter, is it necessary for the other party to visit in person?

Looking at Princess Ankang's clothes and the guards beside her, it is obvious that she is not from an ordinary family.

If such a person has nothing important to do, how could he condescend to come to such a place.

"Miss, I'm afraid you are visiting me today not just to thank me for saving your cat?"

"If there is anything else, just say it."

Doctor Fang spoke quickly.

Princess Ankang didn't hesitate and asked directly:

"Doctor Fang, I wonder how much do you know about the fire last night?"

"So it's this matter."

Doctor Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"I have told the officials and the Hou family several times today."

"But if the young lady is interested, I can tell you again."

"Last night, I received a message from Hu Yulou and went out for a consultation."

"Only when I arrived did I know that the patient was Hou Chisi, the third son of the Hou family."

"He was affected by the explosion and had many burns on his body and different degrees of concussion in his body. He was in critical condition."

"After I treated him as urgently as possible, I was ready to say goodbye and leave."

"As a result, the butler Fan of the Hou family forced me to stay and let me live in the room next to the son of the Hou family so that I could be at his disposal."

" As a result, in the second half of the night, I heard some commotion next door. "

"When I went out of the room to check, I saw that Mr. Hou's room was on fire."

"Butler Fan had just rushed out from inside and immediately organized the Hou family's servants and Hu Yulou's men to help put out the fire."

"But the fire could not be put out, and there was a strange smell."

"Although I reminded Butler Fan at the time, they were eager to save the master at that time and didn't listen to me."

"I was about to leave when I saw that the situation was not right, but I happened to meet this little black cat. The young lady should know what happened later."

"I heard that the fire was put out by the lady's guards."

Doctor Fang stopped talking after saying this, and silently looked at the leader of the flowery eunuchs standing at the door.

Although this person looked about the same age as himself, Doctor Fang knew that the master who put out the fire was probably this person.

When Doctor Fang returned Li Xuan last night, it was the leader of the flowery eunuchs who took him over.

Although the light was not good at that time, Doctor Fang still felt that this person looked familiar.

Because the aura on the other person was so unique.

After listening to what Doctor Fang said, Princess Ankang also thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Where did Doctor Fang go after leaving the fire scene?"

"I remember that I didn't see you on the first floor last night."

Although the fire in Hou San's room was put out by the leader of the flowery eunuchs, because the fire produced toxic gases, they also went downstairs to take shelter temporarily.

But after arriving at the first floor, as Princess Ankang said, they did not see Doctor Fang.

This was the case for a long time afterwards.

When they saw Doctor Fang again, it was already the next morning.

At that time, the officials were questioning the guests in Hu Yulou.

And Doctor Fang happened to be among them.

Doctor Fang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile when he heard Princess Ankang ask this:

"Is this lady doubting me?"

Princess Ankang smiled slightly, shook her head and said:

"I'm just a little curious, Doctor Fang, please don't misunderstand me."

"In fact, there's nothing wrong with doubting me. Fang is upright and has a clear conscience."

"After I went downstairs last night, I found a room in the backyard of Hu Yulou to rest."

"Because I have patients to see today, I need to rest well."

"Backyard?"

Princess Ankang looked a little puzzled.

Although Hu Yulou is just a brothel, can outsiders enter and exit the backyard at will?

Doctor Fang seemed to see Princess Ankang's doubts and explained:

"This lady may not know that I often see patients on this flower street, so I am familiar with everyone."

"I borrowed the place where the male prostitutes rested last night and slept. As a result, no one woke me up this morning. I think too many things happened last night, so they didn't have time to come back to rest."

Princess Ankang thought about it and felt that Doctor Fang's statement made sense.

But if it was really as he said, no one came to call him until he woke up in the morning.

In that case, I'm afraid no one can prove that he really slept there last night and didn't go anywhere else until this morning.

While Doctor Fang was talking to Princess Ankang, Li Xuan had already become familiar with Huihui.

Huihui still liked to stay in the corner, but he no longer resisted Li Xuan approaching it.

Li Xuan also struck while the iron was hot and asked Huihui for news.

At first, Huihui was quite socially anxious. He would only answer whatever Li Xuan asked him.

And because Huihui's intelligence was limited, the answers he gave were sometimes ambiguous.

But this was enough, and as Li Xuan and Huihui communicated more and more, Huihui was more and more willing to actively share some information.

Even if Li Xuan did not ask, Huihui would talk endlessly about what he wanted to say.

"This guy is familiar with me, and he is also a chatterbox."

Li Xuan learned a lot about Doctor Fang through communication with Huihui.

Doctor Fang is a good person, who treats Huihui very well and always takes good care of him.

It was probably a few years ago, but Huihui can no longer remember the exact time.

At that time, it was still a wild cat in the alley.

At that time, several people wanted to catch it for meat. Although Huihui finally escaped successfully, he was also seriously injured.

For wild cats, being injured actually means chronic death.

Not every cat is as lucky as Mao Ba, who can survive such a serious injury.

The seriously injured Hui Hui was disheartened and found a corner, ready to die.

As a result, he was found by a girl and sent to Doctor Fang.

At that time, Hui Hui had no strength to resist and could only let the other party torment him.

At that time, Hui Hui did not trust the human race, after all, the injuries on his body were caused by the human race.

But later Hui Hui found that there were good and bad people in the human race.

Just like the wild cats in their alleys.

It was lucky, at least the girl and Doctor Fang it met were good people.

After Hui Hui's injuries were cured, he stayed in Doctor Fang's clinic.

The girl would come to see him from time to time, and Hui Hui later learned the girl's name: Xixi.

"It's a nice name, isn't it?"

Huihui showed off the name to Li Xuan as if he was showing off his treasure.

But then Huihui said with some regret that Xixi had not come to see him for a long time. Huihui hoped that Xixi could come to see him. He missed the girl who saved him.

Li Xuan asked Huihui how long Xixi had not come to see him.

Huihui remembered the time very clearly.

He said that it had been more than a month.

Hearing this, Li Xuan had a bold guess.

He silently turned his eyes to Doctor Fang, his expression seemed a little complicated.

At this time, Princess Ankang had already asked all the questions that could be asked. If she continued to ask, it would be a little impolite.

And they had already wasted a lot of Doctor Fang's time.

Of course, the most important thing was that Princess Ankang saw that Li Xuan and Huihui were already very close, meowing to each other and chatting happily.

Princess Ankang understood that the answer she couldn't ask might have been asked by Li Xuan a long time ago.

Princess Ankang shamelessly lingered for a while, and when she saw Li Xuan signaling to her, she expressed her apologies to Doctor Fang for her sudden visit, and then said that she was going to go back.

Doctor Fang had been waiting for them to leave, and now that he heard this, how could he keep them?

He had learned his lesson this time, and he was no longer casually polite. He just sent people to the door and asked them to be careful on the way back.

Li Xuan jumped back into Princess Ankang's arms, and then, under the protection of the eunuchs in flowery clothes, he quietly walked out of the alley and returned to the bustling Flower Street.

It was daytime now, and the several brothels on Flower Street seemed a little deserted, but there were vendors doing small business on the road, and their business was in full swing, continuing to maintain the vitality of Flower Street.

Whether it was day or night, this street was the busiest street in the East City.

Returning to Flower Street, they felt a little like a world away.

Who would have thought that there was such a big gap between the two worlds, just a few dozen meters away.

I'm afraid that except for people who have lived in the East Market for many years, no one would know that there is such a dark alley hidden here.

After arriving at Huajie, Princess Ankang asked Li Xuan:

"Ah Xuan, I saw you asked the kitten for a long time just now. Did you find out anything?"

How could Li Xuan disappoint Princess Ankang's expectations?

He immediately swung his tail, wrote and drew on Princess Ankang's hand, and told Princess Ankang all the news he had learned from Huihui before.

"Xixi."

Princess Ankang whispered the name, and then asked Li Xuan:

"According to Huihui, this girl named Xixi has not visited it for more than a month. Could something have happened?"

Li Xuan believed that Princess Ankang had reached a similar conclusion as him, but now they had no evidence and could not draw a conclusion at will.

"I always feel that Doctor Fang is related to this case."

Princess Ankang touched her chin and said in a sophisticated manner.

Li Xuan also sighed, feeling that the story behind this would not be that simple.

"I just don't know who this Sissi is?"

"Could it be a girl from Hua Street?"

Princess Ankang relied on her intuition and believed that there must be more clues about this girl who just appeared.

"Ah Xuan, let's go check this girl called Sissi."

But when he heard this, Li Xuan shook his head.

"What's wrong, Ah Xuan."

"Do you have other directions for investigation?"

Princess Ankang asked curiously.

Li Xuan used his tail to write a few words on Princess Ankang's palm, and Princess Ankang frowned and said:

"Ah Xuan, you want to find Zhao Si yourself?"

Li Xuan nodded silently.

"Why, is he in danger too?"

Princess Ankang immediately thought.

To be honest, when Li Xuan saw Zhao Si near the scene of the stage explosion last night, he also suspected him.

Because his expression at that time looked a little wrong.

But now thinking about it, Li Xuan felt that there might be another possibility.

Zhao Si may know the reason why Hou San was killed in the explosion.

Now, except for the missing Ayimu, the other people involved in this case are relatively easy to contact.

But only Zhao Si, even if Princess Ankang visits in person, she may be turned away.

Unless Princess Ankang takes the initiative to reveal her identity, it will be difficult to see Zhao Si.

Therefore, Li Xuan plans to use his advantage to see what Zhao Si is like now.

"Okay, but remember to wait for us in the private room of Hu Yulou after the matter is done."

"I will take Yu'er to check the girl named Xixi."

"By the way, it is inconvenient for you to ask on the road, I will arrange someone to go with you."

As she spoke, Princess Ankang looked at the leader of the flower-clothed eunuchs.

She saw Li Xuan sitting on this man's shoulder last night.

"This..."

Princess Ankang thought about it and didn't know how to address him.

At this time, the leader of the flower-clothed eunuchs gave his name at the right time.

"I am Xu Lang."

Princess Ankang nodded and continued:

"Okay, Xu Lang."

"You accompany Xuan for a trip."

Xu Lang listened to what Princess Ankang and Li Xuan said clearly, and knew that Li Xuan was going to look for Zhao Si now.

Xu Lang looked at a flower-clothed eunuch in the team, temporarily transferred the command of this team, and then responded to Princess Ankang's order.

"I understand."

Princess Ankang smiled, then let go of Li Xuan in her arms, and Li Xuan immediately jumped onto Xu Lang's shoulder.

"We'll meet at Hu Yulou later."

Princess Ankang waved to Li Xuan, and let Yu'er push her to the nearest brothel. They were going to ask about the girl named Xixi.

"Master Xuan, shall we set off now?"

Xu Lang looked at Li Xuan on his shoulder and asked respectfully.

Li Xuan nodded, very satisfied with Xu Lang's understanding.

"Old Zhao is very good at training his subordinates."

He secretly praised in his heart.

Xu Lang knew that Li Xuan was going to find Zhao Si now.

Xu Lang also heard the boy show off before, so he knew Zhao Si's name and family background very well.

The fourth son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhao Gu.

Zhao Si didn't need to ask passers-by. When he returned to Wannian County Office, he said it was Princess Ankang's order, and immediately got Zhao Si's home address.

Coincidentally, Zhao Si's home was in Xuanyangfang, where Wannian County Office was located, just next to the East Market.

No wonder Zhao Si went to the East Market to play all day long, it turned out to be right outside his home.

Xu Lang brought Li Xuan and soon arrived at the door of Zhao's mansion.

It was worthy of being the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In a market like Xuanyangfang where officials lived densely, it was also the best grade.

Under Li Xuan's instructions, Xu Lang came to a sparsely populated wall of Zhao's mansion.

Li Xuan jumped onto the high wall of Zhao's mansion in one go, then nodded to Xu Lang and jumped in.

Xu Lang looked around, found a place to hide skillfully, and monitored the area.

...

Li Xuan jumped into Zhao's mansion and landed in a flower garden.

He looked around and saw that the pavilions and terraces in Zhao's mansion were all available, and it looked quite classy.

"It seems that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue also makes money."

Li Xuan hid in Zhao's mansion and looked for Zhao Si's traces.

He was now afraid that Zhao Si had not returned home and was hanging out outside.

If that were the case, it would be difficult for Li Xuan to find Zhao Si.

However, Li Xuan had not been looking for Zhao Si for long when he heard a noisy sound coming from not far away.

When he came over, he saw a lively scene.

"Xiao Si, Xiao Si..."

"Open the door quickly. Mom asked someone to make your favorite roast suckling pig. Try it while it's hot."

Outside a room, a plump middle-aged woman was knocking on the door and calling out.

Behind her was a team of servants holding a whole roast suckling pig.

The pig skin was roasted golden and was still sizzling with oil. You could smell the fragrance from a distance.

Li Xuan took a deep breath and thought:

"Xiao Si?"

"Is he calling Zhao Si?"

Li Xuan did not hesitate and went around and went up to the roof from the back of the room.

He had just checked that the doors and windows of the room were locked and there was no place for him to climb in.

Therefore, Li Xuan had no choice but to open a "skylight" on the roof.

After opening the skylight, Li Xuan immediately saw the situation in the room.

On the bed, a quilt was shaking.

Li Xuan sniffed casually and smelled that it was Zhao Si's smell.

"It's already this time, this guy is still lying in bed?"

But then, Zhao Si's words made Li Xuan change his mind.

"Go, all of you go away, don't knock on the door anymore."

"Mom, call those guards back to me, I beg you!"

In the room, Zhao Si hid in the quilt and begged with a crying voice.

Seeing his attitude, Li Xuan's eyes immediately turned cold.

"Xiao Si, what happened?"

"Tell mom, mom will definitely help you find a way."

The middle-aged beautiful woman outside persuaded, still knocking on the door, trying to get Zhao Si out of the room.

"Get out, get out, all of you!"

"Get out as far as you can!!!"

Zhao Si's hysterical voice came from under the quilt. Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that he is scared.

"This kid is really guilty."

Li Xuan now understood that Zhao Si's reaction after seeing Hou San being bombed yesterday was actually fear.

"Xiao Si, how can you talk to your mother like that."

The beautiful middle-aged woman outside actually started crying and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

When Li Xuan heard the noise, he knew that Zhao Si's mother was a spoiled young lady all her life.

She was crying just because her son said a few words to her. She was too fragile.

"What are you arguing about in broad daylight!"

At this time, a majestic voice came.

Li Xuan climbed to the edge of the roof curiously and looked down. He saw a figure wearing a dark crimson official uniform and a gold belt walking quickly.

"Master."

Whether it was the beautiful middle-aged woman or the servants, they all saluted.

Li Xuan couldn't help but look at this person carefully.

He should be Zhao Si's father, Zhao Jingcheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

When he was in Cuihua Tower before, Zhao Si had introduced himself.

Zhao Jingcheng looks pretty good. He was probably a handsome young man when he was young.

It's just that his whiskers affect his temperament and make him look a bit shifty.

But Zhao Jingcheng's whiskers are thin and long, slightly erect, and very sparse.

To grow a good-looking whisker, it depends on talent.

Obviously, Zhao Jingcheng is not suitable for a beard.

Zhao Jingcheng saw the situation at the door and understood the situation.

"Madam, why do you care about him?"

"He must be causing trouble outside again, and now he is too scared to go out."

"Zhao Gu, why did I give birth to a coward like you."

"You are at home now, who can break in and beat you up?"

"Useless thing!"

Zhao Jingcheng cursed a few words outside the door, then left with his wife, and asked the servants to send the freshly roasted suckling pig to his room.

It seems that Zhao Si has been a coward at home more than once.

Li Xuan came back to continue watching Zhao Si's reaction. After a long time, a trembling voice came from the quilt:

"Dad and Mom, this time is different..."
