Kaifeng mansion's first drama

Pang Yuanying looked at Bao Zheng in surprise.

"How can you blame me for this? The fire started at night, and I was drinking with the white guards in the Grand Master's Mansion, how could I come here to burn the corpse."

"I came here during the day, but when I left, the mummy was in good condition, so it should be whatever it is." Pang Yuanying saw that they were staring at her and said nothing, and added an explanation.

Pang Yuanying invited the guards to testify for herself.

The guard nodded in surprise, "When I came down to light the oil lamp in the mortuary room at night, I saw that the little mummy was still in good condition. Unexpectedly, I smelled smoke not long after I was guarding outside, and it caught fire, like a will-o'-the-wisp. The Night of the Circle is really haunted!"

"Stop talking nonsense." Gongsun Ce scolded him and ordered him to retreat.

Bao Zheng still looked at Pang Yuanying suspiciously, thinking that he was playing tricks.This kid is smart, maybe he played some tricks that no one knows about.But now that the corpses have been destroyed, he has no evidence to prove anything, so it's hard to say much.

Bao Zheng held his breath, looked at the little mummy that was almost burnt to ashes, and asked Gongsun Ce what he could find.

"Perhaps it is when the oil lamp is burning, sparks fall on it. Some mummified corpses emit corpse oil, which is more flammable." Gongsun Ce said.

"I think so." Pang Yuanying asked Gongsun Ce with a puzzled expression, "It's very good. There is no one in the morgue, so why do you have to light the lamp?"

"On the fifteenth day of every month, the morgue will light up all night to respect the dead." Gongsun Ce finished explaining, and looked at Pang Yuanying suspiciously, "This is the custom of Kaifeng Mansion. You often visit the morgue, and you don't know?"

Pang Yuanying scratched her head, "Every time I come here, what I care about is... that thing, you know, I really don't know much about it."

After Bai Yutang listened to this, he sneered secretly, his eyes fixed on Pang Yuanying, watching him continue to act.

Gongsun Ce then asked Pang Yuanying why he came to the morgue during the day to take away the small coffin.Pang Yuanying gave the same explanation as the guard: the little ghost asked him to take away the mummy in a dream.

"If I had known that such a coincidence happened, I shouldn't have taken it away. There is a small coffin to protect you. Maybe you will not be in such a miserable situation. Look at you, it has turned into ashes now, poor!" Pang Yuanying took out A piece of talisman paper was placed on the ashes, and he muttered a passage of sutras in a low voice.

Bao Zheng frowned and looked at Pang Yuanying for a while, then turned and left.

Gongsun Ce went with Bao Zheng.

On the way, Bao Zheng told Gongsun Ce that he still suspected that Pang Yuanying did it, but he couldn't figure out why the kid planned to burn the little mummy.The little mummy is really useless in solving the case in Kaifeng Mansion.But after all, it is a corpse, even though she has not been born as a real human being, she deserves the same respect.More importantly, the rule that the morgue should not be tampered with cannot be broken. If everyone does not obey the rules in the future, anyone can come to the morgue to mess around, and who will trust the fairness of the autopsy results of Kaifeng Mansion.

"The corpse has been stored for a long time, there may indeed be will-o'-the-wisps." Gongsun Ce reconciled, and persuaded Bao Zheng not to be angry, "Besides, there are no clues on the corpse, and it will not delay the investigation."

"Then Mr. thinks that this matter can be forgiven if he did it?" Bao Zheng stopped and looked at Gongsun Ce.

After Gongsun Ce lowered his eyes and thought about it, he said to Bao Zheng: "The student thinks that Yuanying is not a bad boy. When he encounters a case, he will do his best to avenge the deceased. If this is really what he did, he must have his own faults. The difficulties. Before figuring out the difficulties, the students dare not say whether they can forgive him.”

Bao Zheng smiled, nodded to Gongsun Ce, said nothing, and left with his hands behind his back.Gongsun Ce saluted and sent him off, and then sent someone to invite Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang waited for everyone to leave, and pressed Pang Yuanying's shoulder.

Pang Yuanying turned her head and looked up at Bai Yutang with his black and white eyes.

"You did it." Bai Yutang said firmly.

"Oh, why are you here again? I explained it to Mr. Bao before, but you didn't hear it? Well, because we are good brothers, I will explain it carefully to you again." Pang Yuanying Enthusiastically said.

"Stop pretending." Bai Yutang reminded Pang Yuanying, "Sorghum Field, Brother Gray Wolf, at that time you set fire out of thin air."

Pang Yuanying picked his ears and refused to look at Bai Yutang.

"It's the same trick." Bai Yutang looked sideways at the corpse room, "After turning on the lamp, the corpse suddenly burned by itself, and the heat from the oil lamp ignited the powder on the corpse. You took the coffin away during the day The purpose is to make the mummy spontaneously combust. In the evening, I asked my fourth brother and I to go to the Grand Master's Mansion for a drink, in order to prove your alibi."

"Don't talk nonsense. It's an early decision to invite you to dinner. Anyone can find witnesses. I don't mean to take advantage of you." Pang Yuanying corrected.

Bai Yutang looked at Pang Yuanying, "Then you have admitted that you did the burning of the corpse."

"It's me. If you want to sue, you can sue." Pang Yuanying nodded in agreement.

"Why?"

"You won't believe me when I tell you the reason. You just think I'm fooling around. Why don't you explain it? Why don't you just treat me as fooling around. Anyway, I'm an official of Shaoyin, and no one thinks highly of me. I'm dismissed , everyone will not be surprised, and I will not be ashamed anymore, because I have already lost my face to the end. It's nothing, you go and file a complaint!" Pang Yuanying stared at Bai Yutang angrily, his eyes turned red, and then twitched He sniffed, turned around and left.

"You're pretending to be pitiful." Bai Yutang stood still, watching Pang Yuanying act as a demon with cold eyes.

Pang Yuanying's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't stop walking and left quickly.

Bai Yutang silently watched his back disappear, and was about to lift up his heels when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.He didn't move, just looked sideways.

The little official ran to Bai Yutang and respectfully passed on a message: "Mr. Gongsun, please go."

After seeing Bai Yutang, Gongsun Ce asked him if he knew whether Pang Yuanying had done the burning of the mummy.

"Mister seems to be very suspicious of him?" Bai Yutang asked back.

Gongsun Ce poured tea for Bai Yutang with a smile, and invited him to sit down, "He is very smart."

Gongsun Ce asked Bai Yutang to think about whether there was anything unusual about Pang Yuanying in the past two days.He is the person who usually gets along with Pang Yuanying the most in the Kaifeng Mansion. If he doesn't know the clues, then it may be difficult to investigate this matter.

Under Gongsun Ce's concerned gaze, Bai Yutang thought for a moment, then shook his head at Gongsun Ce.

"Nothing unusual."

Gongsun Ce thanked, "Please run for a while."

Before Bai Yutang returned to the house, he took a special look at Pang Yuanying's room next door. The lights were off, and he didn't know if he was resting or he wasn't there at all.

Bai Yutang thought for a while, climbed over the wall, pushed open the door, and walked to the bed.Seeing Pang Yuanying lying on the couch under the blanket, motionless.

After Bai Yutang confirmed that Pang Yuanying didn't walk away blindly, he turned and left, resting by himself.

At the same time, on the sycamore tree in the East Garden, Pang Yuanying was riding on a thick branch and yawning.There is silence everywhere, except for the chirping of cicadas and the chirping of crickets, and the annoying mosquitoes.Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time, and used mosquito repellent grass to weave bracelets and anklets to keep mosquitoes away.

The mahogany sword behind his waist suddenly moved.Pang Yuanying was a little confused, thinking she was dreaming, hugging the tree branch, and continued to struggle with her upper eyelids.At this time, the peach-wood sword behind him moved again, Pang Yuanying became energetic, pulled out the peach-wood sword excitedly, and asked in a low voice if Taozi had returned.

Tao Mujian tilted towards Pang Yuanying.

Pang Yuanying was so happy that she almost burst out laughing.He covered his mouth and looked around vigilantly, and asked where Taozi had been two days ago.Tao Mujian jumped anxiously, wanting to explain something.

The night of the full moon is usually a good time to set up an altar. Pang Yuanying thought for a while and asked Taozi, "Is it related to the spell that Taoist Zhang gave you?"

Tao Mujian nodded.

"Then you returned to the corpse in the past two days?"

Tao Mujian continued to nod.

"If I'm not mistaken, Taoist Zhang's spell on you is almost the last step. This kind of spell for refining little ghosts has never been the right way. You asked me to burn your body because you didn't want to become a bad ghost, right? ?”

Pang Yuanying has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and thinks that Mr. He is the most likely.After the ghost has lost her body, she can actually possess other objects related to her.The mahogany sword in my hand was made by Taoist Zhang. It probably has something to do with Taozi, so her ghost can cover it.

Tao Mujian immediately nodded in agreement with Pang Yuanying, and then she broke free from Pang Yuanying's palm, turned the sword around, and pointed to the south.Pang Yuanying was about to ask him what he meant when he heard the sound of rustling footsteps.Tao Mujian immediately ran into Pang Yuanying's arms and remained motionless.

Pang Yuanying slowly pushed aside the leaves and looked at the person coming.

She looks like a girl, walking with a lantern.After cautiously looking left and right, she went straight to the flowerbed here, illuminated with a lantern, and bent down to check what was in the flowers.After looking around, she didn't see anything, so she tugged at the skirt of her clothes, looked around vigilantly, and left in a hurry.

Pang Yuanying recognized who the girl was, was a little surprised, and continued to pick it off the branch.Tao Mujian happily ran out of Pang Yuanying's arms, followed Pang Yuanying, and walked with him unsteadily.

"Peach looks in a good mood?"

Tao Mujian moved up and down, nodding.

"Let me think about it, is it because you got rid of the spell, or because Taoist Zhang who controlled you died?"

Tao Mujian happily circled Pang Yuanying several times, expressing his happiness.Both seemed to make her happy.

Pang Yuanying smiled, and stopped asking about these thoughts.After all, Taozi is a child, so I asked her what she likes to eat and play.In the end, Tao Zi was puzzled by the question, probably because she was never born before, she was very ignorant of everything, and didn't understand the concept of playing at all.Pang Yuanying picked up a stone and floated it in a nearby pond, demonstrating to her that this is called playing.

Taozi thought it was interesting, flew the peach wood sword, tapped the water a few times, and giggled.

Pang Yuanying thought she was hallucinating after hearing the laughter, so she clapped her ears to confirm.

After Taozi had fun playing in the water, she got into Pang Yuanying's arms and wet his clothes.Turning around and running out again, went to the pond to pick a lotus, flattened the mahogany sword body, supported a lotus back while maintaining balance, and threw the lotus on Pang Yuanying's head.

Pang Yuanying reluctantly took the flower off her head, which made Taozi laugh again.Her laughter is crisp, sweet and innocent, which makes people forget their worries.

Pang Yuanying continued to walk back, when a group of patrolling men came over, Tao Zi was honest and hid behind Pang Yuanying's waist.

After the assassination occurred in Kaifeng Mansion, Chao Mahan and others took turns to be on duty at night.It happened to be Ma Han tonight, and he saw someone approaching from a distance, with a slender and elegant body, holding a blooming pink lotus in his hand.The man came from under the moonlight, his facial features were fair and deep, more beautiful than flowers, and his whole body was covered with a faint brilliance.

Usually, when I saw him during the day, I was always lively and talkative.Perhaps it was because his words and deeds were too weird, and everyone focused on those things, but they didn't pay much attention to Pang Yuanying's appearance.

Now that she has calmed down, Pang Yuanying has such a beautiful appearance, which is not ordinary.Ma Han couldn't help being amazed, secretly envious.

Ma Han clearly heard the catcher behind him take a long breath, probably he was as surprised by Pang Shaoyin's beauty as he was.

"Hey, it's patrolling, you brothers have worked hard." Pang Yuanying cupped his hands to thank them.

Everyone hurriedly returned the greetings politely, feeling that Pang Shaoyin did not put on airs, and they felt honored and grateful for such a considerate greeting.

Ma Han signaled them to continue patrolling, while he stopped to talk to Pang Yuanying.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night, why are you still holding a lotus?"

"As you can see, I went to pick flowers." Pang Yuanying added, "I'm insomnia."

"So it's like this, let's go to bed early, the case hasn't been solved yet, maybe we have to run away tomorrow." Ma Han sighed, they were all exhausted these two days, and they only hoped to solve the case quickly, "You may still I don’t know, Mr. Bao was reprimanded by the Holy Master today, so when he came back at night, he heard that something happened in the morgue, and he was very annoyed.”

Ma Han's implication told Pang Yuanying not to worry about Mr. Bao's questioning of him tonight, and to understand each other.

"Reprimand? Why reprimand?" Pang Yuanying really didn't know about it.

"What else could it be? The death of an important witness like Daoshi Zhang, those outside officials who had disliked Mr. Bao, of course, would immediately intervene."

"Who is so free?" Pang Yuanying was stunned for a moment, and asked if Ma Han might be his grand master.

Ma Han shook his head, saying that there was really no grand master Pang this time, but two censors.

"You don't know how busy some officials are, and they can send more than a dozen copies of the booklets like 'Your Majesty is in good health' every year. What's more, Yu Shi, who stares at those officials every day. They don't like officials, if there is any problem, they will report it immediately. Our adults investigated Li Yushi's nephew last year. He was sentenced to [-] rods and sentenced to three years in prison. Who knows that Mr. Li's body is weak, and he died when he was assigned. He died of illness on the way. Li Yushi put this grudge on your lord."

Pang Yuanying sighed: "It is not easy to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be an impartial, impartial, and honest official. I understand. I am not emotional about what happened today, so don't worry." Originally, Mr. Bao did not wrong him at all, he Who has the right to be angry.

Ma Han said goodbye with a smile, and then he said goodbye to Pang Yuanying, and continued to patrol.

"Okay, little Taozi, you can come out now." Behind Taozi remained motionless.

Pang Yuanying looked around and guessed that there were still people around, Tao Zi would only be so quiet at such times.

"Come out!?"

Bai Yutang appeared from behind a tree three zhang away, dressed in white, even more ruthless under the bright moonlight, coupled with his indifferent face, it was ruthless and ruthless.

"I haven't slept yet." Pang Yuanying smiled at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang: "Who is Little Taozi?"

"I said I can see ghosts, do you believe me?"

Bai Yutang stared at Pang Yuanying.

"There is a ghost beside me now, called Xiao Taozi." Pang Yuanying pointed to the left side of her body, and then slid her finger towards Bai Yutang, "Oh, she is now facing your direction, and she is sitting on your side. on the head."

Pang Yuanying stared in shock, stepped back several times, and pointed at the top of Bai Yutang's head, shaking his hands in fear.

"You... aren't you afraid? What a ferocious female ghost, sticking out her red tongue and bleeding from her orifices."

"Is it exactly the same as the puppet mask you made?" Bai Yutang asked coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Pang Yuanying looked at Bai Yutang indifferently, and asked why he wasn't afraid.

"You're just talking nonsense, there's nothing to be afraid of," Bai Yutang said.

"Why do you call me nonsense again?" Pang Yuanying threw the lotus in her hand to Bai Yutang, "Fortunately, I picked a lotus on purpose to reconcile with you."

"Reconcile? Who is wrong with you?" Bai Yutang asked back.

Pang Yuanying also asked back: "Then according to what you mean, we have a good relationship?"

Bai Yutang glanced at Pang Yuanying speechlessly, really didn't want to talk to him.

"If the ghost looked as scary as you said, you wouldn't be called 'Little Taozi', and your voice wouldn't be so gentle. Even if there is a ghost, it's still a pretty and lovable ghost." Bai Yutang concluded.

"So you believe I can see ghosts?" Pang Yuanying asked Bai Yutang happily.It would be a great pleasure to have someone agree with him.

"Looks like you've gone to hell."

What he said before was a test, but now Bai Yutang can be sure that Pang Yuanying has seen a ghost.But seeing ghosts is not important to him, he just needs to make sure that Pang Yuanying's behavior is within the scope of his understanding, because if there is any abnormal situation, he will report it.

Bai Yutang reacted flatly, turned around and left.

Pang Yuanying didn't understand what he was thinking, and wondered why Bai Yutang wasn't afraid and didn't ask questions.The less Bai Yutang said anything, the more Pang Yuanying wanted to ask.

After Bai Yutang returned to his room, he blocked Pang Yuanying from the door.

"Go and play with your little Taozi!"

Bai Yutang slammed the door shut.

"baffling."

Pang Yuanying muttered, and went back to his room, only to find that the humanoid quilt he had disguised on the bed before had been lifted.Bai Yutang must have found out about this situation and ran to him.Follower!You have to watch him for everything.

The next morning.

Bai Yutang was still sleeping when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.He immediately opened his eyes vigilantly and went to open the door.Wearing an official uniform, the radiant Pang Yuanying raised his hand to knock on the door, when he hit Bai Yutang's chest with his fist.

It's hard, it hurts!

Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, and asked Pang Yuanying what was the matter.

"Isn't this clothing obvious enough? Let's start the trial!" Pang Yuanying saw that Bai Yutang was still wearing obscene clothes, with a solid body exposed on his chest, and tsk-tsk twice, scolding him for being immodest.Ask him who he deliberately dressed like this to seduce.

Bai Yutang glared at him, then turned to change clothes.

Pang Yuanying was sitting at the table, resting his chin, admiring boredly the figure of the man with an odd figure changing clothes behind the screen.

"Lord Bao was ginsenged yesterday. During the trial in Kaifeng Mansion, a witness was assassinated. Those censors and criticizing officials will definitely punish Master Bao for this. I was originally in charge of the case. Something happened to Daoist Zhang, it should be my responsibility, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Bao. So I have to do something as soon as possible to save the situation." Pang Yuanying continued to say a few words in a rambling manner.

Bai Yutang came out after changing clothes, "Daoist Zhang is dead, who can you interrogate?

"Sha Hongmei, Chuxue." Pang Yuanying raised his eyelids and met Bai Yutang's eyes, "I suspect they are spies!"
