White Cat Legend 大理寺少卿游 Episode 2

Shangguanji ordered Hu Si to guard Civet Mao and Chen Shi. He was able to solve several recent murder cases and finally gave an explanation to the court. Otherwise, Dali Temple would not be safe. The unconscious Chen Shi was dragged out of prison by the civet cat. When he woke up the next morning, he found himself lying in a dilapidated study room. There was a handsome man in front of him, claiming to be an official of Dali Temple. Only then did Chen Shi remember that he had been imprisoned yesterday. Why is waking up in a prison cell a different environment?

Jinwu Guard General Qiu Qingzhi went to Shangguan Jie to ask for a pair of male and female thieves he had just captured. It turned out that the two were the key criminals who secretly escaped from the prison. Seeing that he was about to be robbed of his credit, Shangguan Jie was unwilling to do so, so he satirized Qiu Qingzhi for getting something for nothing. Qiu Qingzhi was unwilling to be Humiliation, mentioning that the time to solve the demon cat murder case is approaching, how to explain to the court, Shangguanjiu told Qiu Qingzhi not to worry, just last night, he jointly solved the demon cat murder case, the murderer and the civet cat are currently locked in the cell, Qiu Qingzhi feels suspicious , Shangguanji ordered Wang Qi to take Qiu Qingzhi to the cell to find out.

The handsome man told Chen Shi that his name was Li Cake and that the case had been solved. Chen Shi was about to leave, but then he remembered the officials responsible for imprisoning him. After asking again and again, Li Cake told him that he didn't need to know too much. Chen Shi asked about the whereabouts of the civet cat again. Li Cake said that it was just an ordinary house cat and he let it go. Chen Shi did not intend to leave yet. He asked about the whereabouts of the little girl again. Thinking that the little girl was forced to steal, her life experience should be very... Poor, Li Cake replied that the little girl would probably be sent to Ji Ci Hall, but that was not under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple. Seeing Chen Shi's kindness and enthusiasm, Li Bing decided to treat Chen Shi to dinner.

Shangguan Jie took Qiu Qingzhi to the cell, only to see Sun Bao lying at the door. The cell was empty, with neither the demon cat nor Chen Shi. Shangguan Jie suddenly felt something bad. Qiu Qingzhi sarcastically left the cell, leaving only Shangguan Jie and Wang. Qi Yi's group was spinning in circles. Soon the Queen will go to Mengchun to offer sacrifices, and it will be difficult to close the case until the case is solved. Lord Shangshu handed over the case of the demon cat to Dali Temple for investigation. Qiu Qingzhi was indispensable, and he bullied Dali Temple into having no one in charge.

Shangguanji knew Qiu Qingzhi's methods and the importance of solving the case, but he really had nothing to do, so he told Wang Qi the stakes. During the assessment period for upright officials, Dali Temple could not solve the case and would soon be disbanded. As the person in charge of Mingjing Hall, Wang Qi had no idea what to do. Sun Bao was mainly away from home. Alibaba was not an official official of Dali Temple, so he would only be responsible. Could he follow Shangguan's order to search the demon cat? But Wang Qi was not convinced at all. How could a civet cat be capable of harming others if it couldn't protect itself?

Li Cake took Chen Shi into a restaurant and ordered a few signature dishes without using the menu. He must be a regular customer of the restaurant, but the waiter had never seen Li Cake. Chen Shi told Li Cake that he was on this trip to find his brother, and his parents had already After his death, Chen Shi grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. He only knew that he had an older brother. He received a letter from his brother not long ago and decided to find his relatives. Li Cake tasted a few bites of the food, and based on the ingredients and the faint smell of pomegranate flowers on the plate, he concluded that the restaurant boss Wang had been killed, and sent the waiter to report to the officer first. Chen Shi admired Li Cake's reasoning very much, but there was one thing he didn't understand. Li Cake is obviously an employee of Dali Temple. Why didn't he solve the problem himself? Instead, he sent the hotel waiter to report the case to Dali Temple. Li Cake replied that he had more important things to solve and it was not convenient for him to come forward.

Lu Qing, the Minister of Rites, inquired about the progress of the demon cat murder case of Shangguan Li. Shangguan Li asked for some grace. Lu Qing repeatedly emphasized that the matter was of great importance and that there was not much time left for the sacrifice. Qiu Qingzhi fanned the flames and laughed at Dali Temple for the lack of capable investigators. , Lu Qing sighed with emotion, if his youngest son Li Cake, who took office as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, had not been killed, he must have been a rare talent, but it is a pity that it is a thing of the past. Lu Qing instructed Qiu Qingzhi to investigate the case of the demon cat.

Li Cake took Chen Shi to Jici Hall to visit the little girl. Li Cake went to the courtyard to inquire and asked Chen Shi to wait outside the door. When Chen Shi saw a divination stall at the door, he stepped forward to divine the whereabouts of his brother and chatted. While chatting, the fortune teller told Chen Shi about the legend that the people of Shendu were harmed by demon cats. A fortune teller next to him was accused of confusing people with evil words and overturning the divination stall. Chen Shi stepped forward to stop him and saw Li Cake taking out The little girl left.

Officers and soldiers posted portraits of Chen Shi and civet cats everywhere. Wang Qi was driven to the divination stall by Alibaba and Sun Bao to tell fortunes. He accidentally discovered the basket left by Chen Shi and began to search nearby.
