Half an hour later, Grand Master Pang appeared in front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

Bao Zheng brought people to greet him in person, respectfully invited Grand Master Pang into the hall, and ordered people to watch tea.

Grand Master Pang sat down with an indifferent face, lifted his eyelids slightly, and sighed in a calm tone: "This Kaifeng mansion is still the same."

"It's always been that way, and it hasn't changed."

After Bao Zheng agreed, he asked Taishi Pang why he suddenly visited the Kaifeng mansion.

But without waiting for Grand Master Pang to answer, Bao Zheng immediately ordered Zhan Zhao to invite Pang Yuanying.

The meaning is obvious, who doesn't know that his sudden visit to Kaifeng Mansion is for his son.

Grand Master Pang didn't think there was any shame in this, it's only natural for me to protect my son.But Bao Zheng did this on purpose, which made him very upset.

"The old man has a close friend who worked in Kaifeng Mansion back then. I think back to when he was sitting here, what a style he was."

The meaning is obvious, you Bao Zheng is far inferior to others in this official position, not very good.

"There is often a saying: 'There is Mr. Fan in the imperial court, and there is Xiwen in the capital'. How dare Bao dare to compare with Mr. Fan."

Bao Zheng immediately asked Pang Taishi whether the emperor had called Fan Zhongyan back to Beijing.He remembered that some time ago, Grand Master Pang had been busy discussing this matter, lobbying the emperor together with Yan Shu.Thinking about it, it would be a pity if a talent like Fan Zhongyan was away from Beijing.

"Come back soon." Grand Master Pang sighed, then stared sharply at Bao Zheng, and finally began to ask the question, "I heard you joined the book again?"

"I don't know who taught him. He is not serious when investigating cases. He always screams to catch ghosts. I have reason to join him, so why not?" Unsurprisingly, he asked Grand Master Pang.

"I heard that Xiao'er has helped you find important clues to the case several times. It's fine if you don't reward him now, but you have participated in him repeatedly, clearly avenging your personal revenge because of the old man. If it weren't for him, you might be so worried about this case! "

Taishi Pang stood firmly on his son's side.

"The world has the same goal but different paths, unanimous and full of worries. Although his approach is sometimes absurd and different from yours, but he does not hurt others and does not harm himself, and finally finds important clues to the case. Why not?"

"If all the officials acted as he does, with no rules, the world would have been in chaos. If the soldiers in the army were like this, I don't need to say more, the Grand Master will of course know what it is like. The result. Rules are rules and cannot be broken!"

When Bao Zheng said the last sentence, his tone was serious and sharp.

"Hmph, how can my son be compared to those ordinary people. Do you know how to reduce talents in any way!?" Taishi Pang followed suit and raised his voice.

Bao Zheng opened his mouth to continue to refute, when there was a knock on the door.

The door of the main hall of Kaifeng Mansion is always wide open, and there is no situation where people outside cannot get in.

Both Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang were angry, and stared at the source of the voice at the same time.

Pang Yuanying was wearing an expensive dark blue brocade robe, standing close to the door frame.When he noticed that Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang were looking at him at the same time, he shrunk his neck slightly cautiously, slowly put down his hand knocking on the door frame, and nodded to the two 'adults' with a smile.

"Pang Yuanying entered the hall carefully and greeted the two of them.

"Bao won't disturb your father-son reunion."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he strode away with a cold face, he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

Grand Master Pang then took Pang Yuanying out and asked Pang Yuanying to lead him to a secluded place so that father and son could talk.

Pang Yuanying took Taishi Pang to the small garden in the southwest corner.This place is densely wooded and pleasant, with few people walking around.

Taishi Pang took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Pang Yuanying.

"Bao Zheng joined you for the second time."

Pang Yuanying glanced at the memorial.

"Being outside is better than being at home, and you must not be caught by others." Pang Taishi taught.

Pang Yuanying nodded obediently.

"Don't make it too obvious. It's just to make yourself suspicious. It won't do much good. Be smart!"

Pang Yuanying continued to nod obediently.

"I heard that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao didn't deal with each other a long time ago, but they insisted on staying because of Bao Zheng's lobbying. This Bai Yutang is a useful person."

Pang Yuanying froze for a moment, looking at Grand Master Pang.

Taishi Pang scolded: "I told you to recruit talents and use them for you!"

Pang Yuanying nodded, he had to agree, otherwise Taishi Pang would lecture him endlessly.

Grand Master Pang was satisfied, and before leaving, he sent his attendants to hand over to Pang Yuanying all the things Pang's mother ordered to bring.

After Pang Yuanying perfunctorily left Grand Master Pang, she ignored what Grand Master Pang said just now, and didn't care at all.

Among the things Pang's mother gave were pastries made by the old chef of Pang's mansion.Pang Yuanying thought that Bai Yutang liked to eat, so she immediately sent it over.

After Bai Yutang kept the things, he didn't say thank you, just took a piece and put it in his mouth, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Pang Yuanying more.

At this time, Zhang Long, who was lying on the wall, took a few steps back quietly, turned around and ran away.

After Zhang Long found Bao Zheng, he relayed to Bao Zheng the conversation between Pang Taishi and Pang Yuanying that he had just eavesdropped in the small garden.

"After he listened to the grand master's instructions, he took some snacks to bribe the white guard, planning to poach the wall!"

"They are all from the mansion, how can they do such eavesdropping?" Bao Zheng questioned.

Zhang Long lowered his head in a panic, "Subordinate...The subordinate happened to pass by at that time, and followed after hearing something wrong."

"Remember in the future, go." After Bao Zheng sent Zhang Long away, he turned to Gongsun Ce and said, "Since he is too leisurely, let him get busy. Let him investigate the case, and you will investigate as usual."

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, then understood.On the surface, Mr. Bao wanted to hand over the case to Pang Yuanying and make him responsible, so he urged him to investigate the case.But he is a novice after all, Mr. Bao feared that it would be difficult for him to take up the job, so he asked him to investigate the case in private.

Gongsun Ce smiled and agreed, secretly admiring Bao Zheng's methods in his heart.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce assigned Zhan Zhao to Pang Yuanying and asked them to cooperate in investigating the case.As for Bai Yutang, Gongsun Ce ordered him to handle the case with him.

The intention of such a distribution is obvious, Gongsun Ce prevents Pang Yuanying from prying Bai Yutang away, and he has to think more about his family.

It was night, and all the lights in Kaifeng Mansion were turned off.

Zhan Zhao couldn't go to bed as usual, and was dragged by Pang Yuanying to sit on the roof of the mortuary, waiting for ghosts to haunt him.

"The case has been proven to be man-made, why are you arresting?" Zhan Zhao, who was bathed in the night, finally couldn't help but speak after a long time.

"Ghosts didn't kill people, and ghosts didn't disembowel female corpses, but the two cases were ultimately directed at ghosts." Pang Yuanying rubbed her chin, "I have a hunch that ghosts will come tonight."

The night was getting deeper, and there was silence everywhere, not even a little breeze.

Zhan Zhao naturally didn't believe Pang Yuanying's so-called ghost, but since Mr. Gongsun told him, he couldn't leave because of his own responsibility.Zhan Zhao simply lay down on the roof, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Ring ring ring!

A bell rang from the northeast of the mansion.

Zhan Zhao immediately opened his eyes vigilantly.

Pang Yuanying hung a string of talisman papers around Zhan Zhao's neck, and handed him a mahogany sword.

"Here we come! Go after him!"

Zhan Zhao jumped and went.But when he arrived at the place where the sound originated, he didn't see any people, but he noticed that there was a red rope with a bell tied between the trees.If someone climbs over the wall and comes down, they will bump into it if they are not careful, and the bell will be triggered.

Zhan Zhao went to the wall to watch, the outside of the mansion was very quiet, nothing happened for now.He lit the torch, and found a few footprints on the corresponding ground inside and outside the wall. It seemed that a thief really intended to enter just now, but after making the noise, he should have fled immediately in fright.

On the second day, a middle-aged couple came to Kaifeng Mansion crying and reporting the case, yelling that their son was lost and submitting a letter.

The couple had a middle-aged son, and now the son has just turned five years old, and they have always regarded the child as a treasure.Late last night, someone suddenly broke into his house at night, knocked the nanny unconscious, left this letter, and took the child away.

Bao Zheng opened the letter and looked, immediately furious.
