Kaifeng mansion's first drama
Chapter 25
Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows, saluted Zhao Zhen, and wanted to leave.
"No rush." Zhao Zhen glanced at Bao Zheng, and then announced that Zhao Wei could meet him.
After Zhao Weineng entered the hall, he didn't even leave, but immediately knelt down and kowtowed, asking the emperor to make decisions for him.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen smiled, "What makes my cousin so busy?"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged." Zhao Weineng kowtowed again, and then he wanted to talk about his experience in Kaifeng Mansion.
"I see." Zhao Zhen interrupted Zhao Weineng, he had a good memory, and he really didn't have the patience to listen to the same story again.
Zhao Zhen signaled Bao Zheng to communicate with Zhao Weineng.
"Yes, yes, it happens that Master Bao is here, please Master Bao to help me judge."
Zhao Weineng knew that Bao Zheng didn't like Pang Yuanying, otherwise Bao Zheng wouldn't have joined Pang Yuanying twice in a row.Today is just right, I can use Bao Zheng to speak for me, the Holy Majesty has always been convinced of Bao Zheng's words, if I slip through it and add fuel and vinegar, then this matter will definitely come true.
Bao Zheng apologized to Zhao Weineng: "This is Pang Shaoyin's dereliction of duty, which caused the county king to be wronged. As the prefect of Kaifeng, Bao has not been strict in controlling his subordinates. After Bao returns, he will definitely teach Pang Shaoyin strictly."
"Master Bao, Pang Yuanying really went too far this time, and put me together with a dead body! I'm still in the haunted house, that place is haunted by ghosts, and there are two ghosts who almost killed me last night!" When it was late, I became excited, and the more I talked, the louder the volume.
Bao Zheng repeatedly apologized and promised, his voice was very low.It was obvious that he was sorry for the incident.
Zhao Zhen watched for a while and frowned.This Zhao Weineng made too much of a fuss.Naitangjun Wang, a member of the Zhao family, don't feel ashamed to say such things in front of foreign ministers because of this matter?To let the fierce-tempered Bao Zheng make amends for him?
At this point, it's all right, but I can't stop rambling, and I don't know if I'm good, so I stop.
Zhao Zhen coughed, reminding Zhao Weineng that it's okay.As if Zhao Weineng didn't hear it, he was still telling Bao Zheng about his grievances, describing how Pang Yuanying bullied him.
"Zhao Weineng!" Zhao Zhen called out his full name in one go.Zhao Weineng was taken aback, and immediately realized that the Holy Spirit was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly bowed his head obediently, and saluted Zhao Zhen respectfully, not daring to show his air.
"I ask you, did you go to Kaifeng mansion by yourself and insisted on protecting your cousin's body?"
"Yes." Zhao Weineng agreed.
"Oh," Zhao Zhen sneered, "then Pang Yuanying gave you a chance to protect your cousin's body, why are you still not satisfied, and ran to me to complain? You don't feel ashamed enough to run here Come mess around!"
Zhao Zhen doesn't like this kind of person who turns his back on what he says the most, who has the courage to stand up, and who has no courage to take responsibility.Regarding the matter of Pang Yuanying becoming an official, he planned to wait for a long time to get such a chance, and he could finally fulfill his promise.Because this promise was fulfilled a little late, Zhao Zhen felt embarrassed.Later, because of Bao Zheng's two participation in the book to oppose him, he touched his rebellious scales, which made him more rebellious, and he wanted to protect Pang Yuanying even more.
Previously, because Bao Zheng was an upright official, the words of Shenben were even more reasonable. Zhao Zhen didn't suppress his temper all the time, and didn't refute too much.This time Zhao Weineng came to the door, and Zhao Zhen simply took all the anger accumulated before on Zhao Weineng.
Zhao Weineng knew very well in his heart that as long as Grand Master Pang was protecting him, his own complaint would not cause any real damage to Pang Yuanying, at most it would ruin his reputation and let him suffer two days of scolding.He made such a fuss just to let Pang Yuanying know that he is not easy to mess with.
But Zhao Weineng never expected that when Pang Yuanying was so unreasonable this time, the Holy One would protect him.Moreover, the Holy One was so angry at himself for Pang Yuanying.
Zhao Weineng honestly agreed with Zhao Zhen's words, feeling extremely aggrieved.What's going on this day, the grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the country, is not at all as good as a dude.
Afterwards, Bao Zheng and Zhao Weineng left the Chui Gong Hall.
Bao Zheng sighed, and said goodbye to Zhao Weineng.
Zhao Weineng seemed to hear the melancholy in Bao Zheng's sigh, and asked Bao Zheng: "I'm sorry to ask, what happened to Mr. Bao's meeting just now?"
"Bao, like the county king, went to join Pang Yuanying." Bao Zheng was telling the truth.
Zhao Weineng did not doubt Bao Zheng's statement at all.After all, Bao Zheng participated in Pang Yuanying before, so that he quarreled with Grand Master Pang again, which has long been known throughout the court.Although he was scolded by the emperor, Zhao Weineng had a special sense of belonging in his heart because someone stood on the same side as him, so he talked to Bao Zheng about everything.
"What's wrong with the Holy One today? He's in a bad mood? Why is he so partial to Pang Yuanying, just because Pang Yuanying has been his companion for two years? Here..."
"Your Majesty, the matter of the saint, we ministers should not criticize it, so as to live a long life." Bao Zheng bowed his hands, and said goodbye to Zhao Weineng on the grounds of his busy schedule.
Zhao Weineng nodded, and after seeing Bao Zheng away, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
The more I think about it, the more I doubt it, the more I doubt it, the more I think about it——
Zhao Weineng thought that he was unlucky enough, but he didn't expect more unlucky things to come.Not long after he returned home, a decree came.He ordered Zhao Weineng, as a descendant of the Zhao family, to guard Taizu's tomb for three months on behalf of the emperor.Depart today without delay.
Zhao Weineng understood now that he had completely offended Zhao Zhen this time.In fact, Shouling was fine for three months. What disturbed him the most was why Zhao Zhen treated him like this. If it was because Zhao Zhen preferred Pang Yuanying...then these three months would be the three months he was most tortured by demons.
In fact, Zhao Zhen didn't intend to punish Zhao Weineng seriously.Unexpectedly, after Bao Zheng and Zhao Weineng withdrew, Grand Master Pang came again.I also blamed Zhao Zhen for being sloppy. After listening to Grand Master Pang's report on the state affairs, he chatted with him for a few words, and brought it up unintentionally.I thought that he sent Zhao Weineng away and favored Grand Master Pang's son, Grand Master Pang would be satisfied.
Unexpectedly, Grand Master Pang suddenly became angry and felt wronged.He began to quote extensively from sources, citing the past to explain the present, and tried his best to prove that Zhao Weineng's behavior would damage the face of the Song Dynasty royal family.If the emperor indulged him to lose face at this moment, it would be a shame to the Zhao family.
Pang Taishi is knowledgeable and talented, and he has collected many books.Although Zhao Zhen is not bad, but after all, he is young and inexperienced, so he can't argue with Grand Master Pang.Besides, he didn't need to argue with the important officials because of a cousin who was not very close.So he just "bargained" the one-year punishment with Taishi Pang until March, and punished Zhao Weineng symbolically.
Before Zhao Weineng left, he did not forget to leave a letter to Pang Yuanying.
In addition to expressing anger and insults, the content of the letter is a declaration of war.It was nothing more than ruthless words, telling Pang Yuanying to wait, he would definitely come back again, torture him to death, hate him for the rest of his life, and so on.
"Boring." After reading the letter, Pang Yuanying threw the letter on the ground and yawned.
Qing Feng was quite angry, "Young Master, the King of Nankang County scolded you in the letter, and even cursed you. He said all the vicious things, but the Young Master is not angry? This subordinate is so angry that he wants to beat him violently. Rotten his mouth!"
Pang Yuanying looked contemptuous.
"A piece of cake."
Qingfeng has never met Keyboard Man before, otherwise she would be really mad.Zhao Weineng's letter in modern times can only be regarded as a fart, not even enough to tickle.Swearing at people and cursing eighteen generations of ancestors is considered light, but turning a photo into a portrait, chasing a private car straight through the door and ramming it desperately, that is really cruel.
Being a celebrity always has its costs.
Now he is the son of Grand Master Pang and enjoys quite high benefits, so receiving such things is nothing at all.
Pang Yuanying is not worried.
Qing Feng was angry for a while, seeing that his young master really didn't mind, he gradually let go.
Bai Yutang walked in with the jade pot of wine, and stepped on the letter on the ground.He asked what was wrong, and picked up the letter without any hassle.After glancing at it, Bai Yutang sneered.
"ridiculous."
"Yes, I also think he's boring." Pang Yuanying saw the wine in Bai Yutang's hand, and immediately asked Luo Qingfeng to get the wine glass and prepare two side dishes.
After Qingfeng took the utensils and came back, she whispered to the two of them: "Guard Zhan just passed by the courtyard and went back to his room."
"Call him together?" Pang Yuanying suggested.
With a straight face, Bai Yutang said softly, "Whatever you want."
Pang Yuanying sent Qingfeng to invite Zhan Zhao, and the three of them sat around the table and had a drink.
"Is this a celebration? But I remember that the case hasn't been solved yet." Zhan Zhao asked with a smile.
"If you don't say 'celebration', you can take it as celebrating that he escaped." Bai Yutang showed the letter to Zhan Zhao.
After Zhan Zhao finished reading, he looked at Pang Yuanying in surprise, "The king of Nankang County hates you so deeply, it seems that you have a lot of grievances in the past."
"It's all in the past."
Pang Yuanying didn't want to continue this topic, so she shifted the conversation to the case.It just so happened that he got some investigation results just now, so he told the two of them.
"Ten years ago, Daoist Zhang lived in the Duke of Song's mansion for a while. He entered Zichen Temple at the age of 15 and worked as a carpenter before becoming a Taoist priest. Because of his high understanding and fame at a young age, he was invited into the Duke of Song's mansion at the age of 21. .”
The time coincides very well, so I still doubt Zhang Daoshi very much. "
"What do you mean by coincidence in time?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Three years of offering, three years of raising, three years of training, exactly nine years of cultivating little ghosts. He was in Song Guogong's mansion exactly ten years ago."
"I was born as a kid ten years ago, and I practiced for another nine years. The timing really fits well." Bai Yutang said.
"The Song family died a young lady that year. She died suddenly. She was a big family with too many secrets. The cause of this young lady's death has not been found out yet." Pang Yuanying continued.
The three of them glanced at each other, probably able to figure out what was going on here.
"I'll meet this Taoist priest for a while." Bai Yutang picked up the knife, got up and went out, so fast that he didn't realize it until Pang Yuanying finished drinking a glass of wine.
Pang Yuanying asked Bai Yutang to wait a moment, and he went to report to Lord Bao first.After a while, the three of them set off together.
Pang Yuanying still wanted to ride his old horse, but Bai Yutang disliked that his horse was too slow, wasting time.
Pang Yuanying was afraid that he would choose one of the two, and he would have to ride the same horse with one of them.Pang Yuanying insisted that he was good at riding and could change to a fast horse.
When they set off, Pang Yuanying was in front.At first, when he rode very fast, he really didn't think he needed any skills except the bumps.But when the road forks and needs to be adjusted, Pang Yuanying's skills are not good enough, and she always makes mistakes and is led back by Zhan Zhao.
And there is one more problem.That is, people can stop as long as they want, and he needs to run a little longer to control the horse to stop.
So the three planned to stop halfway, and when they were drinking water in the tea shed, this happened: Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao got off their horses, and another handsome man in a dark blue brocade robe galloped past.The owner of the tea shed naturally thought that Pang Yuanying was just passing by.The owner of the tea shed prepared two bowls of tea, but when he turned his head, he found that the man who had just ridden past had returned.
The owner of the tea shed thought that he must have discovered the tea shed because he was riding too fast just now, and realized that he was thirsty, so he turned back to drink tea.
The owner of the tea shed hurriedly shouted happily to welcome the guest officer, and went to serve a bowl of herbal tea.As a result, the man ran over on his horse and did not stop in front of his tea shed.
The tea shed owner poured the tea back into the bucket.
Da da da……
The young man rode back again, a little slower than before.
The owner of the tea shed was stunned for a moment, but still greeted him with a smile.In the end, the other party still didn't stop, and ran past him again.
The owner of the tea shed was dumbfounded, was this deliberately playing him?
Zhan Zhao couldn't see it, so he got up and went to help Pang Yuanying hold the horse.
Pang Yuanying was still not happy, he became stubborn and insisted on stopping the horse by himself.
The owner of the tea shed, who scooped up a bowl of herbal tea again, understood after listening to their conversation, and couldn't help laughing.
"Guest officer, don't be stubborn, my herbal tea is almost turning into hot tea after being poured twice."
Bai Yutang couldn't help pulling up the corners of his mouth, and then let out a chuckle.
Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, and asked Pang Yuanying respectfully if he wanted to help himself.
"Okay, I want to drink some herbal tea." Pang Yuanying admitted.
Pang Yuanying got off the horse, took a few deep breaths, and eased the mental tension on the horse.Only then did he sit across from Bai Yutang and drank two bowls of tea.
Bai Yutang: "Have the momentum of riding a horse first, restrain the horse. When it's time to swing the whip, hit it, and when it's time to pull the rein hard, pull it. Don't be afraid, let alone be afraid, let the horse know that you are scared."
"Brother Bai is right. Horses have spirituality. If you don't use your momentum to suppress it first, it will bully you," Zhan Zhao echoed.
"Aren't I afraid of falling? Riding so fast, if I really fall, it will hurt. You don't understand, you don't understand my mood at all." Pang Yuanying patted her little heart, and took out a safe from her pocket. Affixed to the forehead.Pang Yuanying was afraid that the talisman paper would fall off, so he tied a brocade belt to his forehead to fix the talisman paper.
"Hahaha..." Zhan Zhao resisted the urge to spray tea, and smiled, "Why did you stick the talisman paper on your forehead?"
Even Bai Yutang, who was usually cold and arrogant, couldn't help laughing out loud at this moment.He also patted the table and laughed, like a continuous flood pouring out from the cracked ice.
"Tch, you don't understand anything."
Pang Yuanying ignored them and drank two more bowls of tea.He thought the herbal tea was delicious, so he filled his water bag with it.
"Guest officer, is this safety talisman really useful?" the tea shop owner asked curiously.
"It's useful, of course it's useful. The town house is safe and prevents accidents, and it can also prevent evil spirits."
"that is real good."
The owner of the tea shed hurriedly asked Pang Yuanying where he got the peace talisman, and he also wanted to ask for one.
"Our village hasn't been peaceful recently, I'm worried that there really is something evil..."
"What do you want, I have it right here. I'll give you one." Pang Yuanying took out a safety talisman from the cloth bag and gave it to the tea shop owner.
The owner of the tea shed thanked him again and again, saying that he would not charge tea money, and asked Pang Yuanying if he could give me two more in embarrassment.
"There are wives and children at home."
It took Pang Yuanying a long time to find another safe talisman, but he couldn't find the third one.He simply tore off his forehead and gave it to him.
"No, no, no, how dare you ask for it." The owner of the tea shop hurriedly refused.
"Keep it. I'm just a horse, I can subdue it no matter what, but evil spirits are more terrifying!"
The three of them then set off and went straight to Zichen Temple.
Perhaps it was because of the promise made with the owner of the tea shed just now, this time Pang Yuanying's horse rode very well, stable and fast.
When he finally arrived in front of Zichen Temple, he pulled the reins hard, although he stopped the horse, he flew out by himself.
The red shadow and white shadow descended immediately, grabbing Pang Yuanying's shoulders from left to right, allowing him to land steadily.
Pang Yuanying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were two human safety symbols beside him.
When the three of them walked to the entrance of the Taoist temple, Daoist Zhang came to greet them with smiles along with several disciples.
"Young Master Pang Da, haven't seen you for a few days, and you've run out of talisman paper?" Daoist Zhang said to Pang Yuanying politely, his eyes glanced at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, and finally stayed on Zhan Zhao for a moment, "This One——if Pindao remembers correctly, Master Zhan from Kaifeng Mansion just came here a few days ago?"
Zhan Zhao slightly nodded.
Daoist Zhang was stunned, and looked at Pang Yuanying puzzled, as if asking why he was walking with people from Kaifeng Mansion.
"Daozhang Zhang is too ignorant. Haven't you heard that I have been granted the title of Young Yin of the Kaifeng Mansion by the Holy Lord?" Pang Yuanying looked at him inquiringly.
Daoist Zhang was stunned and stunned for a while, and then he recovered from his amazement for a while, and shook his head.
"I don't know, I really don't know. Pindao just happened to be practicing in seclusion these two days. If he had known earlier, Pindao would definitely go to your mansion to congratulate him. After all, Mr. Pang Dao used a lot of money to support our Zichen Temple before. How can you not even understand this little bit of rules?" Daoist Zhang hurriedly invited the three of them to drink tea, and it happened that it was almost time for lunch, so Daoist Zhang asked the three of them to stay for dinner.
"It's not just for dinner, we plan to stay here tonight. Our three brothers are planning to get married, so we want to find a serious place to witness. I don't know if the chief is willing to take him in?" Pang Yuanying asked with a smile on his face.
"I can't talk about taking them in. It's a poor honor for the three of you to come to Zichen Temple. Of course you are welcome. Let alone one night, they will be willing for ten or half a year."
"Then I really want to live here for ten or a half years. The mountains are nice, quiet, and I can calm down and forget the worries outside." Pang Yuanying sighed leisurely.
Taoist Zhang hurriedly asked Pang Yuanying if he had something on his mind.
"It's not going well in Kaifeng Mansion—" Pang Yuanying coughed, glanced at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang over there, and whispered to Taoist Zhang, "I'll tell you later, it's inconvenient right now."
Daoist Zhang understood immediately, entertained the three of them for dinner first, and after having tea, he took the three of them to their place of residence.A small courtyard located in the southeast of Zichen Temple, with exactly three rooms, the main room in the middle and the east and west wing rooms.
"Dao Tong has already cleaned up, three please go ahead."
After Taoist Zhang left, Pang Yuanying arranged the room. He lived in the main room, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang lived in the east and west rooms.
Bai Yutang was neither surprised nor picky, and went straight to the West Wing.
Zhan Zhao sighed to Pang Yuanying: "I thought you would be polite."
"You won't be polite, anyway, you two are not as knowledgeable as I am, so let me choose first. I am delicate and expensive, so I need a good place to live." Pang Yuanying yawned after speaking, and strode back to the room to take a nap .
Zhan Zhao smiled and went back to his room.
After a while, Bai Yutang came out of his room, went straight to the main room, and grabbed Pang Yuanying.
"Why?" Pang Yuanying was about to fall asleep, and was very unhappy when she woke up, looking at Bai Yutang dissatisfied.
"Forget what we are here for? Check with me about the Taoist Temple."
"You have to concentrate on investigating the case. Besides, it's not convenient to move around in broad daylight." Pang Yuan complained sadly in English, but seeing Bai Yutang's cold eagle eyes, he shut up.
"The Taoist lied. He knew that you were working for Shaoyin in Kaifeng mansion."
"I know."
When filming "Don't Lie" that year, Pang Yuanying remembers the most clearly a line that is "a person who expresses surprise for more than a second is probably a fake surprise".So just now when he told Taoist Zhang that he was the young governor of the Kaifeng Mansion, Taoist Zhang was surprised for almost a minute, so it must be a lie.
Bai Yutang stared at Pang Yuanying, his eyes seemed to be searching for something.
Pang Yuanying slapped a talisman on Bai Yutang's forehead.
"I know your name, return to your soul as quickly as a law!"
Bai Yutang tore off the talisman paper and reprimanded Pang Yuanying for messing around.
"I thought you were distracted, you're kind!" Pang Yuanying was afraid that Bai Yutang would beat him up, so she specially emphasized that he was really kind, maybe the way of expression was wrong.In fact, he is taking revenge, and he really hates people disturbing him when he is sleeping, he has the urge to get up.
Bai Yutang cast a helpless glance at Pang Yuanying, got up and walked out first.Pang Yuanying put on her shoes, tugged at the skirt of her clothes, and followed her out.
"Why don't you let Brother Zhan accompany you and let me sleep." Pang Yuanying yawned again and muttered in a low voice.
"You know the way, can he?" Bai Yutang gave Pang Yuanying a sharp look, which made Pang Yuanying honestly silent.
Pang Yuanying obediently acted as a guide dog, and introduced the situation of various places in Zichen Temple to Bai Yutang.
I have to admit that Bai Yutang chose this time to 'visit' the Zichen Temple. There were hardly any people on the road.It was probably the afternoon when the sun was shining, everyone chose to sleep, and basically slept when they could, and it was safer to move at this moment than at night.And even if Daoist Zhang was prepared to be on guard, he probably would not have thought that they would act immediately when they arrived.
"Where does this lead?" The two walked to the back of the Taoist temple, Bai Yutang saw a path in the forest, and asked Pang Yuanying.
"Houshan, forbidden area." Pang Yuanying pointed to the stone tablet that was almost covered by weeds, and the word 'forbidden area' was really written on it.
Bai Yutang immediately walked in, and Pang Yuanying hurried to catch up.
Bai Yutang was a little surprised. He lowered his phoenix eyes with thick eyelashes and looked at Pang Yuanying.
"Dare to go? You don't have a safe talisman."
"Actually, it's not a forbidden place at all. I've been in it before. Maybe it's because the scenery is not so good, and there are some old alchemy furnaces piled up. Daoist Zhang is afraid that the pilgrims will look ugly, so he specially set up a forbidden stone tablet to scare people."
"Is it."
Bai Yutang continued walking quickly, and after passing through the forest, he saw an open space, paved with square gray stone floor tiles, and in the center stood an incense cauldron as tall as a person.In the place where weeds grow on the east and west sides, there are a total of more than a dozen discarded alchemy furnaces, placed horizontally and vertically.
"Look, it's like this." Pang Yuanying said.
Bai Yutang stepped on the clean gray stone slab, walked to the incense cauldron in the center, looked carefully, and pushed twice.Then he squatted down and tapped the stone slab twice with his fingers to confirm whether there was a mechanism and whether the bottom was hollow.
Pang Yuanying sighed that Bai Yutang really had rich experience in the world.
"It's very strange. In such a desolate place in the back mountain, why do some wastes be placed here, and a stone slab is laid here, and a burning incense tripod is placed here. The stone slab is clean, and there are no weeds in the gaps. It can be seen that this place is often used. People take care of it."
Pang Yuanying nodded, feeling that Bai Yutang's words made sense.
"Then did you find anything?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, this was also where he was puzzled.
"Perhaps the mechanism is not near Xiangding." Pang Yuanying knocked on the stone slab beside it.
Suddenly, Bai Yutang pulled Pang Yuanying away and hid behind the pile of broken incense burners.
Pang Yuanying was wondering when he heard a person's footsteps getting closer.
Pang Yuanying tentatively looked through the gap, and from his perspective, he could only see the man wearing Taoist robes.
"We have a guest." The man walked to the incense cauldron in the center of the stone slab and said suddenly.
Pang Yuanying immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Taoist Zhang, and he motioned to look at Bai Yutang.Bai Yutang warned him to be more honest with his eyes and keep quiet.
"Three uninvited guests." Taoist Zhang sat down beside the incense tripod, leaned against the tripod, and sighed.After a long silence, Zhang Daoshi didn't speak out again.
Why don't people leave?
Pang Yuanying's legs were sore from squatting, and she had already started to tremble, and she couldn't squat anymore.But he didn't dare to move, because there were withered grass, dead leaves and small gravel behind him, he was afraid that if he moved a little, Taoist Zhang would hear the sound and be aware of it.
Bai Yutang at the side watched Pang Yuanying's body swaying slightly from side to side with cold eyes, and couldn't bear it any longer, so he lightly tugged at his clothes.Pang Yuanying leaned against Bai Yutang's upper body.
Pang Yuanying was terrified, he thought his body was out of balance, and he 'actively' leaned against Bai Yutang.He really didn't mean to lean on Bai Yutang!Bai Yutang is obsessed with cleanliness, and he seems to dislike being touched the most—
Pang Yuanying froze and did not dare to move.
The cold sandalwood fragrance penetrated into his nostrils wave after wave, directly killing all the reaction cells of Pang Yuanying.
"He's gone." Bai Yutang said, and found that Pang Yuanying was still leaning against him, as motionless as a piece of wood, not even blinking his eyes.
Thinking of something, Bai Yutang pulled out the talisman that Pang Yuanying had just stuck to him from his waist, and slapped it on Pang Yuanying's forehead.
"Ah!" Pang Yuanying yelled in shock and lay down on the ground.
"That's good enough, why are you still distracted at this time?" Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to Pang Yuanying.
Pang Yuanying glanced quietly at Bai Yutang, seemingly not angry.Only then did he dare to put his hand on, and let Bai Yutang pull him up.
His legs were really sore. When he got up, he realized that his legs were not his own. They were very numb!Just when Bai Yutang turned to leave, Pang Yuanying threw himself on his back.
Pang Yuanying hurriedly sat back on the ground, and patted her legs with her hands to let the numbness in her legs pass quickly.
Bai Yutang turned around and sighed helplessly, "Sure enough, you are delicate and expensive."
He only squatted for a while, but he was so tired?
Bai Yutang, who was born in martial arts, really finds it difficult to understand Pang Yuanying's physique.
"Wait for me a little longer, I'll be fine soon." Pang Yuanying beat his leg quickly.
Bai Yutang saw that the incense cauldron was smoking faintly.
Bai Yutang took a closer look, and saw that there were three sticks of burning incense stuck in the incense cauldron.
Pang Yuanying tried to get up, and after stomping his feet, he also came to Xiangding to have a look.Pang Yuanying asked Bai Yutang what he thought, and Bai Yutang shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand either.
"too weird."
Pang Yuanying sighed, and glanced at the nearby scenery, and found that the grass in the west had been overwhelmed, as if someone had stepped on it.
Pang Yuanying called Bai Yutang.The two of them walked in along the traces, and when they reached the woods on the back hillside, they saw that some branches were broken.Obviously, it was caused by the body breaking off the branches when people passed by.
"Go up and have a look?" Pang Yuanying asked.
Bai Yutang nodded, he took the knife and took the lead.
After about a stick of incense, the two climbed to the top of the mountain.
There are cliffs on the top of the mountain, and the ground is full of bare rocks. There are a few large uneven rocks half a person's height standing irregularly among them.
Pang Yuanying picked up the stone and looked down. There are dense forests at the bottom of the mountain, and there are many trees growing on the cliff slope, all of which are lush green.The mountain is not big, so the cliff is not too high, but people will definitely die if they fall.
Pang Yuanying hurried back to ensure her own safety.
"There seems to be nothing in the back mountain." Pang Yuanying and Bai Yutang sighed as they descended the mountain.
Bai Yutang remained silent, looking around while walking.Soon after, he stopped suddenly, fiddled with the branches and walked in, and picked up a branch that had been cut off by the knife from the ground.
The section is new, looks like it was cut yesterday.
"Do Taoists know how to chop firewood in this mountain?" Bai Yutang asked Pang Yuanying.
"No, this place is a forbidden area, and people in the Taoist temple are not allowed to enter. The firewood they usually use is delivered by a special person, and it should be bought from the people who live nearby." Pang Yuanying often came to Zichen Temple, and met someone driving to the temple. The Taoist temple sends firewood.
Bai Yutang dropped the branch, determined to go down the mountain with Pang Yuanying first.
After the two returned to the hospital, Bai Yutang immediately went back to his room to change clothes.
"Cleanliness is trouble. Such a person can still hang around in the dusty rivers and lakes. It's a waste of time." Pang Yuanying muttered softly.
"What are you looking at?" As soon as Zhan Zhao came back, he saw Pang Yuanying standing in the middle of the courtyard in a daze, looking at Bai Yutang's room.
"Hey, Brother Zhan went out too?" Pang Yuanying asked.
"Well, I checked around Taoist Zhang's room, and found no useful clues. The handwriting doesn't match either." Zhan Zhao showed Pang Yuanying a piece of Taoist Zhang's handwriting he had just stolen.
"I can read his handwriting. Besides, the murderer should be writing with his left hand. If it doesn't match, it doesn't mean he is innocent." Pang Yuanying smelled the smell of the paper, and shook the paper. The paper is flexible and strong, with a delicate touch. The paper was of the same kind, "Why did the murderer deliberately write with his left hand? Either he is a famous person, and many people have seen his handwriting, so he avoids it; or someone in Kaifeng mansion can recognize his handwriting. Or, these two Possibly all."
"The more you talk, the more you look like Taoist Zhang." Zhan Zhao said, "But what about the evidence? Your people have been monitoring him for several days, and they have never seen him go out of a Taoist temple."
Pang Yuanying hurriedly told Zhan Zhao what he and Bai Yutang had just discovered in the back mountain, "There is a secret passage in Lu Zhe's residence. Could it be that there is some kind of secret passage in the back mountain, so there is another exit leading down the mountain?"
"Then let's search the mountains tonight." Zhan Zhao still cares about the incense tripod, "Why open such a place and place the incense tripod in the desolate back mountain?"
"More than that, Daoist Zhang also put incense in the incense cauldron and talked against it. Although he said that the three of us were uninvited guests, I always felt that his tone of voice was a bit gentle, as if he cherished that incense cauldron." Pang Yuanying explained.
"After you say that, it's even more strange." Zhan Zhao said, "Go back to your room first. When I came back, I saw Taoist Zhang walking this way."
Pang Yuanying nodded, and went back to lie on the bed, pretending to take a nap.
After Zhang Daoshi exchanged pleasantries with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang in the courtyard for a while, seeing that Pang Yuanying hadn't come out yet, he couldn't help asking.
"Maybe I'm taking a nap, and I haven't woken up yet." Zhan Zhaozheng lamented that Pang Yuanying was pretending to be quite attractive, and after taking Taoist Zhang into the room, he found that Pang Yuanying was really lying on the couch and fast asleep.
Taoist Zhang hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that there is no need to wake him up, he will come back later.Then he asked Dao Tong to leave the talisman paper, and he took Dao Tong away.
"Hey, wake up." Bai Yutang called Pang Yuanying.
Pang Yuanying turned over and continued to sleep with her back to Bai Yutang.
"Wake you up!" Bai Yutang leaned his body and shouted into Pang Yuanying's ear.
"Don't bother me, get out of here!"
"stand up!"
"If you bark again, I will chop off your penis and feed it to the dog!"
Pang Yuanying yelled in confusion, then moved her body hard, and pushed her head into the folded quilt on the inside of the bed.
"No rush." Zhao Zhen glanced at Bao Zheng, and then announced that Zhao Wei could meet him.
After Zhao Weineng entered the hall, he didn't even leave, but immediately knelt down and kowtowed, asking the emperor to make decisions for him.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen smiled, "What makes my cousin so busy?"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged." Zhao Weineng kowtowed again, and then he wanted to talk about his experience in Kaifeng Mansion.
"I see." Zhao Zhen interrupted Zhao Weineng, he had a good memory, and he really didn't have the patience to listen to the same story again.
Zhao Zhen signaled Bao Zheng to communicate with Zhao Weineng.
"Yes, yes, it happens that Master Bao is here, please Master Bao to help me judge."
Zhao Weineng knew that Bao Zheng didn't like Pang Yuanying, otherwise Bao Zheng wouldn't have joined Pang Yuanying twice in a row.Today is just right, I can use Bao Zheng to speak for me, the Holy Majesty has always been convinced of Bao Zheng's words, if I slip through it and add fuel and vinegar, then this matter will definitely come true.
Bao Zheng apologized to Zhao Weineng: "This is Pang Shaoyin's dereliction of duty, which caused the county king to be wronged. As the prefect of Kaifeng, Bao has not been strict in controlling his subordinates. After Bao returns, he will definitely teach Pang Shaoyin strictly."
"Master Bao, Pang Yuanying really went too far this time, and put me together with a dead body! I'm still in the haunted house, that place is haunted by ghosts, and there are two ghosts who almost killed me last night!" When it was late, I became excited, and the more I talked, the louder the volume.
Bao Zheng repeatedly apologized and promised, his voice was very low.It was obvious that he was sorry for the incident.
Zhao Zhen watched for a while and frowned.This Zhao Weineng made too much of a fuss.Naitangjun Wang, a member of the Zhao family, don't feel ashamed to say such things in front of foreign ministers because of this matter?To let the fierce-tempered Bao Zheng make amends for him?
At this point, it's all right, but I can't stop rambling, and I don't know if I'm good, so I stop.
Zhao Zhen coughed, reminding Zhao Weineng that it's okay.As if Zhao Weineng didn't hear it, he was still telling Bao Zheng about his grievances, describing how Pang Yuanying bullied him.
"Zhao Weineng!" Zhao Zhen called out his full name in one go.Zhao Weineng was taken aback, and immediately realized that the Holy Spirit was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly bowed his head obediently, and saluted Zhao Zhen respectfully, not daring to show his air.
"I ask you, did you go to Kaifeng mansion by yourself and insisted on protecting your cousin's body?"
"Yes." Zhao Weineng agreed.
"Oh," Zhao Zhen sneered, "then Pang Yuanying gave you a chance to protect your cousin's body, why are you still not satisfied, and ran to me to complain? You don't feel ashamed enough to run here Come mess around!"
Zhao Zhen doesn't like this kind of person who turns his back on what he says the most, who has the courage to stand up, and who has no courage to take responsibility.Regarding the matter of Pang Yuanying becoming an official, he planned to wait for a long time to get such a chance, and he could finally fulfill his promise.Because this promise was fulfilled a little late, Zhao Zhen felt embarrassed.Later, because of Bao Zheng's two participation in the book to oppose him, he touched his rebellious scales, which made him more rebellious, and he wanted to protect Pang Yuanying even more.
Previously, because Bao Zheng was an upright official, the words of Shenben were even more reasonable. Zhao Zhen didn't suppress his temper all the time, and didn't refute too much.This time Zhao Weineng came to the door, and Zhao Zhen simply took all the anger accumulated before on Zhao Weineng.
Zhao Weineng knew very well in his heart that as long as Grand Master Pang was protecting him, his own complaint would not cause any real damage to Pang Yuanying, at most it would ruin his reputation and let him suffer two days of scolding.He made such a fuss just to let Pang Yuanying know that he is not easy to mess with.
But Zhao Weineng never expected that when Pang Yuanying was so unreasonable this time, the Holy One would protect him.Moreover, the Holy One was so angry at himself for Pang Yuanying.
Zhao Weineng honestly agreed with Zhao Zhen's words, feeling extremely aggrieved.What's going on this day, the grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the country, is not at all as good as a dude.
Afterwards, Bao Zheng and Zhao Weineng left the Chui Gong Hall.
Bao Zheng sighed, and said goodbye to Zhao Weineng.
Zhao Weineng seemed to hear the melancholy in Bao Zheng's sigh, and asked Bao Zheng: "I'm sorry to ask, what happened to Mr. Bao's meeting just now?"
"Bao, like the county king, went to join Pang Yuanying." Bao Zheng was telling the truth.
Zhao Weineng did not doubt Bao Zheng's statement at all.After all, Bao Zheng participated in Pang Yuanying before, so that he quarreled with Grand Master Pang again, which has long been known throughout the court.Although he was scolded by the emperor, Zhao Weineng had a special sense of belonging in his heart because someone stood on the same side as him, so he talked to Bao Zheng about everything.
"What's wrong with the Holy One today? He's in a bad mood? Why is he so partial to Pang Yuanying, just because Pang Yuanying has been his companion for two years? Here..."
"Your Majesty, the matter of the saint, we ministers should not criticize it, so as to live a long life." Bao Zheng bowed his hands, and said goodbye to Zhao Weineng on the grounds of his busy schedule.
Zhao Weineng nodded, and after seeing Bao Zheng away, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
The more I think about it, the more I doubt it, the more I doubt it, the more I think about it——
Zhao Weineng thought that he was unlucky enough, but he didn't expect more unlucky things to come.Not long after he returned home, a decree came.He ordered Zhao Weineng, as a descendant of the Zhao family, to guard Taizu's tomb for three months on behalf of the emperor.Depart today without delay.
Zhao Weineng understood now that he had completely offended Zhao Zhen this time.In fact, Shouling was fine for three months. What disturbed him the most was why Zhao Zhen treated him like this. If it was because Zhao Zhen preferred Pang Yuanying...then these three months would be the three months he was most tortured by demons.
In fact, Zhao Zhen didn't intend to punish Zhao Weineng seriously.Unexpectedly, after Bao Zheng and Zhao Weineng withdrew, Grand Master Pang came again.I also blamed Zhao Zhen for being sloppy. After listening to Grand Master Pang's report on the state affairs, he chatted with him for a few words, and brought it up unintentionally.I thought that he sent Zhao Weineng away and favored Grand Master Pang's son, Grand Master Pang would be satisfied.
Unexpectedly, Grand Master Pang suddenly became angry and felt wronged.He began to quote extensively from sources, citing the past to explain the present, and tried his best to prove that Zhao Weineng's behavior would damage the face of the Song Dynasty royal family.If the emperor indulged him to lose face at this moment, it would be a shame to the Zhao family.
Pang Taishi is knowledgeable and talented, and he has collected many books.Although Zhao Zhen is not bad, but after all, he is young and inexperienced, so he can't argue with Grand Master Pang.Besides, he didn't need to argue with the important officials because of a cousin who was not very close.So he just "bargained" the one-year punishment with Taishi Pang until March, and punished Zhao Weineng symbolically.
Before Zhao Weineng left, he did not forget to leave a letter to Pang Yuanying.
In addition to expressing anger and insults, the content of the letter is a declaration of war.It was nothing more than ruthless words, telling Pang Yuanying to wait, he would definitely come back again, torture him to death, hate him for the rest of his life, and so on.
"Boring." After reading the letter, Pang Yuanying threw the letter on the ground and yawned.
Qing Feng was quite angry, "Young Master, the King of Nankang County scolded you in the letter, and even cursed you. He said all the vicious things, but the Young Master is not angry? This subordinate is so angry that he wants to beat him violently. Rotten his mouth!"
Pang Yuanying looked contemptuous.
"A piece of cake."
Qingfeng has never met Keyboard Man before, otherwise she would be really mad.Zhao Weineng's letter in modern times can only be regarded as a fart, not even enough to tickle.Swearing at people and cursing eighteen generations of ancestors is considered light, but turning a photo into a portrait, chasing a private car straight through the door and ramming it desperately, that is really cruel.
Being a celebrity always has its costs.
Now he is the son of Grand Master Pang and enjoys quite high benefits, so receiving such things is nothing at all.
Pang Yuanying is not worried.
Qing Feng was angry for a while, seeing that his young master really didn't mind, he gradually let go.
Bai Yutang walked in with the jade pot of wine, and stepped on the letter on the ground.He asked what was wrong, and picked up the letter without any hassle.After glancing at it, Bai Yutang sneered.
"ridiculous."
"Yes, I also think he's boring." Pang Yuanying saw the wine in Bai Yutang's hand, and immediately asked Luo Qingfeng to get the wine glass and prepare two side dishes.
After Qingfeng took the utensils and came back, she whispered to the two of them: "Guard Zhan just passed by the courtyard and went back to his room."
"Call him together?" Pang Yuanying suggested.
With a straight face, Bai Yutang said softly, "Whatever you want."
Pang Yuanying sent Qingfeng to invite Zhan Zhao, and the three of them sat around the table and had a drink.
"Is this a celebration? But I remember that the case hasn't been solved yet." Zhan Zhao asked with a smile.
"If you don't say 'celebration', you can take it as celebrating that he escaped." Bai Yutang showed the letter to Zhan Zhao.
After Zhan Zhao finished reading, he looked at Pang Yuanying in surprise, "The king of Nankang County hates you so deeply, it seems that you have a lot of grievances in the past."
"It's all in the past."
Pang Yuanying didn't want to continue this topic, so she shifted the conversation to the case.It just so happened that he got some investigation results just now, so he told the two of them.
"Ten years ago, Daoist Zhang lived in the Duke of Song's mansion for a while. He entered Zichen Temple at the age of 15 and worked as a carpenter before becoming a Taoist priest. Because of his high understanding and fame at a young age, he was invited into the Duke of Song's mansion at the age of 21. .”
The time coincides very well, so I still doubt Zhang Daoshi very much. "
"What do you mean by coincidence in time?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Three years of offering, three years of raising, three years of training, exactly nine years of cultivating little ghosts. He was in Song Guogong's mansion exactly ten years ago."
"I was born as a kid ten years ago, and I practiced for another nine years. The timing really fits well." Bai Yutang said.
"The Song family died a young lady that year. She died suddenly. She was a big family with too many secrets. The cause of this young lady's death has not been found out yet." Pang Yuanying continued.
The three of them glanced at each other, probably able to figure out what was going on here.
"I'll meet this Taoist priest for a while." Bai Yutang picked up the knife, got up and went out, so fast that he didn't realize it until Pang Yuanying finished drinking a glass of wine.
Pang Yuanying asked Bai Yutang to wait a moment, and he went to report to Lord Bao first.After a while, the three of them set off together.
Pang Yuanying still wanted to ride his old horse, but Bai Yutang disliked that his horse was too slow, wasting time.
Pang Yuanying was afraid that he would choose one of the two, and he would have to ride the same horse with one of them.Pang Yuanying insisted that he was good at riding and could change to a fast horse.
When they set off, Pang Yuanying was in front.At first, when he rode very fast, he really didn't think he needed any skills except the bumps.But when the road forks and needs to be adjusted, Pang Yuanying's skills are not good enough, and she always makes mistakes and is led back by Zhan Zhao.
And there is one more problem.That is, people can stop as long as they want, and he needs to run a little longer to control the horse to stop.
So the three planned to stop halfway, and when they were drinking water in the tea shed, this happened: Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao got off their horses, and another handsome man in a dark blue brocade robe galloped past.The owner of the tea shed naturally thought that Pang Yuanying was just passing by.The owner of the tea shed prepared two bowls of tea, but when he turned his head, he found that the man who had just ridden past had returned.
The owner of the tea shed thought that he must have discovered the tea shed because he was riding too fast just now, and realized that he was thirsty, so he turned back to drink tea.
The owner of the tea shed hurriedly shouted happily to welcome the guest officer, and went to serve a bowl of herbal tea.As a result, the man ran over on his horse and did not stop in front of his tea shed.
The tea shed owner poured the tea back into the bucket.
Da da da……
The young man rode back again, a little slower than before.
The owner of the tea shed was stunned for a moment, but still greeted him with a smile.In the end, the other party still didn't stop, and ran past him again.
The owner of the tea shed was dumbfounded, was this deliberately playing him?
Zhan Zhao couldn't see it, so he got up and went to help Pang Yuanying hold the horse.
Pang Yuanying was still not happy, he became stubborn and insisted on stopping the horse by himself.
The owner of the tea shed, who scooped up a bowl of herbal tea again, understood after listening to their conversation, and couldn't help laughing.
"Guest officer, don't be stubborn, my herbal tea is almost turning into hot tea after being poured twice."
Bai Yutang couldn't help pulling up the corners of his mouth, and then let out a chuckle.
Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, and asked Pang Yuanying respectfully if he wanted to help himself.
"Okay, I want to drink some herbal tea." Pang Yuanying admitted.
Pang Yuanying got off the horse, took a few deep breaths, and eased the mental tension on the horse.Only then did he sit across from Bai Yutang and drank two bowls of tea.
Bai Yutang: "Have the momentum of riding a horse first, restrain the horse. When it's time to swing the whip, hit it, and when it's time to pull the rein hard, pull it. Don't be afraid, let alone be afraid, let the horse know that you are scared."
"Brother Bai is right. Horses have spirituality. If you don't use your momentum to suppress it first, it will bully you," Zhan Zhao echoed.
"Aren't I afraid of falling? Riding so fast, if I really fall, it will hurt. You don't understand, you don't understand my mood at all." Pang Yuanying patted her little heart, and took out a safe from her pocket. Affixed to the forehead.Pang Yuanying was afraid that the talisman paper would fall off, so he tied a brocade belt to his forehead to fix the talisman paper.
"Hahaha..." Zhan Zhao resisted the urge to spray tea, and smiled, "Why did you stick the talisman paper on your forehead?"
Even Bai Yutang, who was usually cold and arrogant, couldn't help laughing out loud at this moment.He also patted the table and laughed, like a continuous flood pouring out from the cracked ice.
"Tch, you don't understand anything."
Pang Yuanying ignored them and drank two more bowls of tea.He thought the herbal tea was delicious, so he filled his water bag with it.
"Guest officer, is this safety talisman really useful?" the tea shop owner asked curiously.
"It's useful, of course it's useful. The town house is safe and prevents accidents, and it can also prevent evil spirits."
"that is real good."
The owner of the tea shed hurriedly asked Pang Yuanying where he got the peace talisman, and he also wanted to ask for one.
"Our village hasn't been peaceful recently, I'm worried that there really is something evil..."
"What do you want, I have it right here. I'll give you one." Pang Yuanying took out a safety talisman from the cloth bag and gave it to the tea shop owner.
The owner of the tea shed thanked him again and again, saying that he would not charge tea money, and asked Pang Yuanying if he could give me two more in embarrassment.
"There are wives and children at home."
It took Pang Yuanying a long time to find another safe talisman, but he couldn't find the third one.He simply tore off his forehead and gave it to him.
"No, no, no, how dare you ask for it." The owner of the tea shop hurriedly refused.
"Keep it. I'm just a horse, I can subdue it no matter what, but evil spirits are more terrifying!"
The three of them then set off and went straight to Zichen Temple.
Perhaps it was because of the promise made with the owner of the tea shed just now, this time Pang Yuanying's horse rode very well, stable and fast.
When he finally arrived in front of Zichen Temple, he pulled the reins hard, although he stopped the horse, he flew out by himself.
The red shadow and white shadow descended immediately, grabbing Pang Yuanying's shoulders from left to right, allowing him to land steadily.
Pang Yuanying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were two human safety symbols beside him.
When the three of them walked to the entrance of the Taoist temple, Daoist Zhang came to greet them with smiles along with several disciples.
"Young Master Pang Da, haven't seen you for a few days, and you've run out of talisman paper?" Daoist Zhang said to Pang Yuanying politely, his eyes glanced at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, and finally stayed on Zhan Zhao for a moment, "This One——if Pindao remembers correctly, Master Zhan from Kaifeng Mansion just came here a few days ago?"
Zhan Zhao slightly nodded.
Daoist Zhang was stunned, and looked at Pang Yuanying puzzled, as if asking why he was walking with people from Kaifeng Mansion.
"Daozhang Zhang is too ignorant. Haven't you heard that I have been granted the title of Young Yin of the Kaifeng Mansion by the Holy Lord?" Pang Yuanying looked at him inquiringly.
Daoist Zhang was stunned and stunned for a while, and then he recovered from his amazement for a while, and shook his head.
"I don't know, I really don't know. Pindao just happened to be practicing in seclusion these two days. If he had known earlier, Pindao would definitely go to your mansion to congratulate him. After all, Mr. Pang Dao used a lot of money to support our Zichen Temple before. How can you not even understand this little bit of rules?" Daoist Zhang hurriedly invited the three of them to drink tea, and it happened that it was almost time for lunch, so Daoist Zhang asked the three of them to stay for dinner.
"It's not just for dinner, we plan to stay here tonight. Our three brothers are planning to get married, so we want to find a serious place to witness. I don't know if the chief is willing to take him in?" Pang Yuanying asked with a smile on his face.
"I can't talk about taking them in. It's a poor honor for the three of you to come to Zichen Temple. Of course you are welcome. Let alone one night, they will be willing for ten or half a year."
"Then I really want to live here for ten or a half years. The mountains are nice, quiet, and I can calm down and forget the worries outside." Pang Yuanying sighed leisurely.
Taoist Zhang hurriedly asked Pang Yuanying if he had something on his mind.
"It's not going well in Kaifeng Mansion—" Pang Yuanying coughed, glanced at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang over there, and whispered to Taoist Zhang, "I'll tell you later, it's inconvenient right now."
Daoist Zhang understood immediately, entertained the three of them for dinner first, and after having tea, he took the three of them to their place of residence.A small courtyard located in the southeast of Zichen Temple, with exactly three rooms, the main room in the middle and the east and west wing rooms.
"Dao Tong has already cleaned up, three please go ahead."
After Taoist Zhang left, Pang Yuanying arranged the room. He lived in the main room, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang lived in the east and west rooms.
Bai Yutang was neither surprised nor picky, and went straight to the West Wing.
Zhan Zhao sighed to Pang Yuanying: "I thought you would be polite."
"You won't be polite, anyway, you two are not as knowledgeable as I am, so let me choose first. I am delicate and expensive, so I need a good place to live." Pang Yuanying yawned after speaking, and strode back to the room to take a nap .
Zhan Zhao smiled and went back to his room.
After a while, Bai Yutang came out of his room, went straight to the main room, and grabbed Pang Yuanying.
"Why?" Pang Yuanying was about to fall asleep, and was very unhappy when she woke up, looking at Bai Yutang dissatisfied.
"Forget what we are here for? Check with me about the Taoist Temple."
"You have to concentrate on investigating the case. Besides, it's not convenient to move around in broad daylight." Pang Yuan complained sadly in English, but seeing Bai Yutang's cold eagle eyes, he shut up.
"The Taoist lied. He knew that you were working for Shaoyin in Kaifeng mansion."
"I know."
When filming "Don't Lie" that year, Pang Yuanying remembers the most clearly a line that is "a person who expresses surprise for more than a second is probably a fake surprise".So just now when he told Taoist Zhang that he was the young governor of the Kaifeng Mansion, Taoist Zhang was surprised for almost a minute, so it must be a lie.
Bai Yutang stared at Pang Yuanying, his eyes seemed to be searching for something.
Pang Yuanying slapped a talisman on Bai Yutang's forehead.
"I know your name, return to your soul as quickly as a law!"
Bai Yutang tore off the talisman paper and reprimanded Pang Yuanying for messing around.
"I thought you were distracted, you're kind!" Pang Yuanying was afraid that Bai Yutang would beat him up, so she specially emphasized that he was really kind, maybe the way of expression was wrong.In fact, he is taking revenge, and he really hates people disturbing him when he is sleeping, he has the urge to get up.
Bai Yutang cast a helpless glance at Pang Yuanying, got up and walked out first.Pang Yuanying put on her shoes, tugged at the skirt of her clothes, and followed her out.
"Why don't you let Brother Zhan accompany you and let me sleep." Pang Yuanying yawned again and muttered in a low voice.
"You know the way, can he?" Bai Yutang gave Pang Yuanying a sharp look, which made Pang Yuanying honestly silent.
Pang Yuanying obediently acted as a guide dog, and introduced the situation of various places in Zichen Temple to Bai Yutang.
I have to admit that Bai Yutang chose this time to 'visit' the Zichen Temple. There were hardly any people on the road.It was probably the afternoon when the sun was shining, everyone chose to sleep, and basically slept when they could, and it was safer to move at this moment than at night.And even if Daoist Zhang was prepared to be on guard, he probably would not have thought that they would act immediately when they arrived.
"Where does this lead?" The two walked to the back of the Taoist temple, Bai Yutang saw a path in the forest, and asked Pang Yuanying.
"Houshan, forbidden area." Pang Yuanying pointed to the stone tablet that was almost covered by weeds, and the word 'forbidden area' was really written on it.
Bai Yutang immediately walked in, and Pang Yuanying hurried to catch up.
Bai Yutang was a little surprised. He lowered his phoenix eyes with thick eyelashes and looked at Pang Yuanying.
"Dare to go? You don't have a safe talisman."
"Actually, it's not a forbidden place at all. I've been in it before. Maybe it's because the scenery is not so good, and there are some old alchemy furnaces piled up. Daoist Zhang is afraid that the pilgrims will look ugly, so he specially set up a forbidden stone tablet to scare people."
"Is it."
Bai Yutang continued walking quickly, and after passing through the forest, he saw an open space, paved with square gray stone floor tiles, and in the center stood an incense cauldron as tall as a person.In the place where weeds grow on the east and west sides, there are a total of more than a dozen discarded alchemy furnaces, placed horizontally and vertically.
"Look, it's like this." Pang Yuanying said.
Bai Yutang stepped on the clean gray stone slab, walked to the incense cauldron in the center, looked carefully, and pushed twice.Then he squatted down and tapped the stone slab twice with his fingers to confirm whether there was a mechanism and whether the bottom was hollow.
Pang Yuanying sighed that Bai Yutang really had rich experience in the world.
"It's very strange. In such a desolate place in the back mountain, why do some wastes be placed here, and a stone slab is laid here, and a burning incense tripod is placed here. The stone slab is clean, and there are no weeds in the gaps. It can be seen that this place is often used. People take care of it."
Pang Yuanying nodded, feeling that Bai Yutang's words made sense.
"Then did you find anything?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, this was also where he was puzzled.
"Perhaps the mechanism is not near Xiangding." Pang Yuanying knocked on the stone slab beside it.
Suddenly, Bai Yutang pulled Pang Yuanying away and hid behind the pile of broken incense burners.
Pang Yuanying was wondering when he heard a person's footsteps getting closer.
Pang Yuanying tentatively looked through the gap, and from his perspective, he could only see the man wearing Taoist robes.
"We have a guest." The man walked to the incense cauldron in the center of the stone slab and said suddenly.
Pang Yuanying immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Taoist Zhang, and he motioned to look at Bai Yutang.Bai Yutang warned him to be more honest with his eyes and keep quiet.
"Three uninvited guests." Taoist Zhang sat down beside the incense tripod, leaned against the tripod, and sighed.After a long silence, Zhang Daoshi didn't speak out again.
Why don't people leave?
Pang Yuanying's legs were sore from squatting, and she had already started to tremble, and she couldn't squat anymore.But he didn't dare to move, because there were withered grass, dead leaves and small gravel behind him, he was afraid that if he moved a little, Taoist Zhang would hear the sound and be aware of it.
Bai Yutang at the side watched Pang Yuanying's body swaying slightly from side to side with cold eyes, and couldn't bear it any longer, so he lightly tugged at his clothes.Pang Yuanying leaned against Bai Yutang's upper body.
Pang Yuanying was terrified, he thought his body was out of balance, and he 'actively' leaned against Bai Yutang.He really didn't mean to lean on Bai Yutang!Bai Yutang is obsessed with cleanliness, and he seems to dislike being touched the most—
Pang Yuanying froze and did not dare to move.
The cold sandalwood fragrance penetrated into his nostrils wave after wave, directly killing all the reaction cells of Pang Yuanying.
"He's gone." Bai Yutang said, and found that Pang Yuanying was still leaning against him, as motionless as a piece of wood, not even blinking his eyes.
Thinking of something, Bai Yutang pulled out the talisman that Pang Yuanying had just stuck to him from his waist, and slapped it on Pang Yuanying's forehead.
"Ah!" Pang Yuanying yelled in shock and lay down on the ground.
"That's good enough, why are you still distracted at this time?" Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to Pang Yuanying.
Pang Yuanying glanced quietly at Bai Yutang, seemingly not angry.Only then did he dare to put his hand on, and let Bai Yutang pull him up.
His legs were really sore. When he got up, he realized that his legs were not his own. They were very numb!Just when Bai Yutang turned to leave, Pang Yuanying threw himself on his back.
Pang Yuanying hurriedly sat back on the ground, and patted her legs with her hands to let the numbness in her legs pass quickly.
Bai Yutang turned around and sighed helplessly, "Sure enough, you are delicate and expensive."
He only squatted for a while, but he was so tired?
Bai Yutang, who was born in martial arts, really finds it difficult to understand Pang Yuanying's physique.
"Wait for me a little longer, I'll be fine soon." Pang Yuanying beat his leg quickly.
Bai Yutang saw that the incense cauldron was smoking faintly.
Bai Yutang took a closer look, and saw that there were three sticks of burning incense stuck in the incense cauldron.
Pang Yuanying tried to get up, and after stomping his feet, he also came to Xiangding to have a look.Pang Yuanying asked Bai Yutang what he thought, and Bai Yutang shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand either.
"too weird."
Pang Yuanying sighed, and glanced at the nearby scenery, and found that the grass in the west had been overwhelmed, as if someone had stepped on it.
Pang Yuanying called Bai Yutang.The two of them walked in along the traces, and when they reached the woods on the back hillside, they saw that some branches were broken.Obviously, it was caused by the body breaking off the branches when people passed by.
"Go up and have a look?" Pang Yuanying asked.
Bai Yutang nodded, he took the knife and took the lead.
After about a stick of incense, the two climbed to the top of the mountain.
There are cliffs on the top of the mountain, and the ground is full of bare rocks. There are a few large uneven rocks half a person's height standing irregularly among them.
Pang Yuanying picked up the stone and looked down. There are dense forests at the bottom of the mountain, and there are many trees growing on the cliff slope, all of which are lush green.The mountain is not big, so the cliff is not too high, but people will definitely die if they fall.
Pang Yuanying hurried back to ensure her own safety.
"There seems to be nothing in the back mountain." Pang Yuanying and Bai Yutang sighed as they descended the mountain.
Bai Yutang remained silent, looking around while walking.Soon after, he stopped suddenly, fiddled with the branches and walked in, and picked up a branch that had been cut off by the knife from the ground.
The section is new, looks like it was cut yesterday.
"Do Taoists know how to chop firewood in this mountain?" Bai Yutang asked Pang Yuanying.
"No, this place is a forbidden area, and people in the Taoist temple are not allowed to enter. The firewood they usually use is delivered by a special person, and it should be bought from the people who live nearby." Pang Yuanying often came to Zichen Temple, and met someone driving to the temple. The Taoist temple sends firewood.
Bai Yutang dropped the branch, determined to go down the mountain with Pang Yuanying first.
After the two returned to the hospital, Bai Yutang immediately went back to his room to change clothes.
"Cleanliness is trouble. Such a person can still hang around in the dusty rivers and lakes. It's a waste of time." Pang Yuanying muttered softly.
"What are you looking at?" As soon as Zhan Zhao came back, he saw Pang Yuanying standing in the middle of the courtyard in a daze, looking at Bai Yutang's room.
"Hey, Brother Zhan went out too?" Pang Yuanying asked.
"Well, I checked around Taoist Zhang's room, and found no useful clues. The handwriting doesn't match either." Zhan Zhao showed Pang Yuanying a piece of Taoist Zhang's handwriting he had just stolen.
"I can read his handwriting. Besides, the murderer should be writing with his left hand. If it doesn't match, it doesn't mean he is innocent." Pang Yuanying smelled the smell of the paper, and shook the paper. The paper is flexible and strong, with a delicate touch. The paper was of the same kind, "Why did the murderer deliberately write with his left hand? Either he is a famous person, and many people have seen his handwriting, so he avoids it; or someone in Kaifeng mansion can recognize his handwriting. Or, these two Possibly all."
"The more you talk, the more you look like Taoist Zhang." Zhan Zhao said, "But what about the evidence? Your people have been monitoring him for several days, and they have never seen him go out of a Taoist temple."
Pang Yuanying hurriedly told Zhan Zhao what he and Bai Yutang had just discovered in the back mountain, "There is a secret passage in Lu Zhe's residence. Could it be that there is some kind of secret passage in the back mountain, so there is another exit leading down the mountain?"
"Then let's search the mountains tonight." Zhan Zhao still cares about the incense tripod, "Why open such a place and place the incense tripod in the desolate back mountain?"
"More than that, Daoist Zhang also put incense in the incense cauldron and talked against it. Although he said that the three of us were uninvited guests, I always felt that his tone of voice was a bit gentle, as if he cherished that incense cauldron." Pang Yuanying explained.
"After you say that, it's even more strange." Zhan Zhao said, "Go back to your room first. When I came back, I saw Taoist Zhang walking this way."
Pang Yuanying nodded, and went back to lie on the bed, pretending to take a nap.
After Zhang Daoshi exchanged pleasantries with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang in the courtyard for a while, seeing that Pang Yuanying hadn't come out yet, he couldn't help asking.
"Maybe I'm taking a nap, and I haven't woken up yet." Zhan Zhaozheng lamented that Pang Yuanying was pretending to be quite attractive, and after taking Taoist Zhang into the room, he found that Pang Yuanying was really lying on the couch and fast asleep.
Taoist Zhang hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that there is no need to wake him up, he will come back later.Then he asked Dao Tong to leave the talisman paper, and he took Dao Tong away.
"Hey, wake up." Bai Yutang called Pang Yuanying.
Pang Yuanying turned over and continued to sleep with her back to Bai Yutang.
"Wake you up!" Bai Yutang leaned his body and shouted into Pang Yuanying's ear.
"Don't bother me, get out of here!"
"stand up!"
"If you bark again, I will chop off your penis and feed it to the dog!"
Pang Yuanying yelled in confusion, then moved her body hard, and pushed her head into the folded quilt on the inside of the bed.
