[Baiyutang] Wind-dried clothes

Lu Caichun and Bai Yutang never entered Pang's mansion that day, until night, they went straight over the wall, but they couldn't find Mei He's person, only a coffin was parked in a side room.I found a maid and asked, only to find out that Mei He had passed away, and Pang Can, who had just returned home, did not know where he was going.

The news of Pang Jiong's madness quickly spread throughout the capital.Bao Zheng wrote a letter, saying that Pang Taishi was incapable of teaching his sons and caring for his children, so the emperor made a decree to demote the Taishi as a commoner.

As for the ministers who contributed to the pacification of the chaos in Xiangyang, such as Si Shu, Zhan Zhao and others, the emperor all rewarded them.That Zhan Zhao was exceptionally brave in the battle, and made countless military exploits. Moreover, the emperor had a young princess who heard about his reputation and admired him in her heart. She didn't even mind that Zhan Zhao had a wife before, and she begged the emperor to marry him. Give Zhan Zhao the sequel.At that time, the long street was full of beautiful red makeup, and it was a lively evening ceremony.

Lu Fang and the other four mice arrived in Bianjing before the army returned to the court.When the five rats meet again, they are all overjoyed.Han Zhang first saw that Bai Yutang had a problem with his right hand, and after asking, he found out about the dangerous situation between Bai Yutang and Lu Caichun in the Sky Tower.

Xu Qing was so angry that he scolded the king of Xiangyang for being a traitor, and said: "You really have to leave in a hurry. If I, Lao Xu, were in the sky-scraping tower, after I came out, I would burn down the bird tower!"

Bai Yutang laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? On the other hand, the King of Xiangyang has been captured, and it's not impossible to go to the land of Jingxiang. Another day when the third brother goes to Xiangyang to visit the mountains and rivers, he will go to the mountain and take the building away. Just burn it. However, after my elder brother said so, my younger brother also regretted not setting a fire before leaving."

Lu Fang was still worried about Bai Yutang, and asked, "Fifth Brother, can't just let his right arm move like this?"

Han Zhangdao: "My brothers took advantage of the fact that Kaifeng Mansion was fine, and went to find out if there is any genius doctor in the rivers and lakes. Maybe he can heal this arm for my fifth brother."

A group of people were discussing, but they heard the official of the Kaifeng government say: "The Holy Majesty has made a list to arrest the assassin."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and asked the servants about the situation: "Could it be that the remnant party of the traitor king has never been cleared up, but he is so bold that he wants to assassinate the emperor?"

The yamen servant said "Bah bah" twice, and said, "It's not about assassinating the Holy Majesty, it's about assassinating the King of Xiangyang!"

Han Zhang asked: "The king of Xiangyang has been captured, and sooner or later he will be escorted to Beijing to be executed. What is the purpose of assassinating such a dying man?"

The yamen servant shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe he had a personal enmity with the King of Xiangyang, or the King of Xiangyang knew some ulterior secret, so he was assassinated."

Lu Caichun said: "Although the king of Xiangyang has been captured, he is the leader of the thief. How can someone assassinate him so easily. Since the Holy Majesty made a list to arrest him, he must have never caught the assassin."

The yamen servant curled his lips, and said: "It's not just a simple assassination? You don't know that the assassin cut him into several pieces and threw them into the grass and trees beside the prison cart. It's appalling!"

Hearing this, Bai Yutang and Lu Caichun glanced at each other, and fell silent for a moment.The other four were still holding on to the yamen servants, asking questions.

Seeing Bai Yutang and Lu Caichun looking thoughtful, Jiang Ping asked, "Do the fifth younger brother and the sixth younger sister know anything?"

Bai Yutang said: "The two of us suspect that Pang Can did it."

Lu Caichun also said: "Pang Can is the only one we know who can enter the escort army as if entering no man's land, and has a deep hatred with the King of Xiangyang."

Han Zhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Pang Can? This is..."

Lu Caichun replied, "He is the third son of Grand Master Pang."

Jiang Ping asked, "What enmity does Pang Can have with that treacherous king?"

Bai Yutang didn't intend to tell the whole story about Pang Yu, so he said briefly: "Do you know that it is the second son of the Pang family, Pang Yu, who colluded with the King of Xiangyang? Pang Can and him were born of the same mother, and they are usually very close. Although Pang Yu said It was punished by the law of the king, but in fact it was the king of Xiangyang who threatened and persecuted him, so it is reasonable for Pang Can to go to kill the king of Xiangyang."

Xu Qingdao: "Since this is the case, everyone knows the name of the assassin. Why don't you report to Mr. Bao and go and arrest him. Fifth brother, do you know where this Pang Can is now? I asked before, and I revealed this There are a lot of rewards for posting a list, and adding another one to my brother's achievements, wouldn't it be icing on the cake?"

Jiang Ping laughed at him: "Third brother has been appointed a high-ranking official, and his talents and learning have also improved. He can even make 'icing on the cake'."

Xu Qing shoved him: "Although my old man Xu is a rough man, but he has heard a lot, so he can do it—you sick man likes to laugh at me!"

Seeing that Lu Fang and the others were looking at him with piercing eyes, Bai Yutang sighed, and said bluntly: "Sixth Sister and I visited Pang's Mansion a few days ago, and we don't know where he is. In fact, the two of us are also there. Look for him. However, he always wants to go back to the mansion, and he may be able to bump into him in Pang's mansion."

After hearing this, the four mice all thought it was an idea.

The Kaifeng mansion was still talking about it, Lu and Bai said goodbye to Bao Zheng and the four mice first, and went back to Lu Fang's house.

On the way, Bai Yutang saw Lu Caishu's worried look, so he asked her, "What is Liumei worrying about?"

Lu Caichun said: "Now that Second Young Master Pang and Mei...sister are gone, I don't know if this Pang Can will come back with Hongjian Pavilion and make a comeback in Kaifeng Mansion."

Bai Yutang nodded and said, "I'm also worried about this—I don't know if killing the King of Xiangyang is enough for Pang Can to vent his anger."

Lu Caichun looked up at him, and asked, "If Pang Can is relentless, Fifth Brother, who will he find next?"

"Pang Er's death was due to Pang Jiong, and it was also due to the pressing force of the King of Xiangyang. Now that Pang Jiong is insane, and the King of Xiangyang died tragically, if he wants to find someone to take revenge—" Bai Yutang pondered intently, and suddenly said, "By the way, Kaifeng Mansion! The letter exposing all the accomplices of King Xiangyang was sent to Kaifeng Mansion, and the person who came to arrest people was also Kaifeng Mansion. I don't know if he will be detrimental to Mr. Bao."

Lu Caichun pondered for a moment, frowned and said worriedly: "If he is really against Mr. Bao, no one in Kaifeng Mansion can stop him. His whereabouts are like ghosts, and his kung fu is so terrifying, how can people be on guard?"

"We should go to Kaifeng Mansion," Bai Yutang said, "I don't know where your uncle has gone. If he is in Bianjing, we won't be so worried all day long."

Lu Caichun wrung his fingers, counted the days carefully, and murmured: "Soon... If there are no accidents, within three days, my uncle should be able to go to Bianjing."

The two had just walked to Lu Fang's house at this time, they looked at each other, turned around together, and walked quickly towards Kaifeng Mansion.

After telling Bao Zheng about Pang Can, Bai Yutang said: "Master Bao, this Pang Can's martial arts are unfathomable, and he is in charge of the Hongjian Pavilion. The grass people suspect that he is inseparable from Ding's death. If so, He has a full-bodied temperament and doesn't distinguish between black and white, which may be detrimental to Mr. Bao. Before Pang Can is caught, I hope Mr. Bao will always pay attention."

After hearing this, Bao Zheng secretly kept it in his heart, and ordered Chao Mahan and the Four Rats of Xingkong Island to be vigilant about people coming and going around Kaifeng Mansion.Bai Yutang and Lu Caichun were also guarding the Kaifeng mansion, not daring to slack off, they only hoped that Pang Can would be captured as soon as possible, or that Ouyang Chun would come to Beijing sooner.

For a while, the situation in Kaifeng Mansion was jittery.

Three days passed like this.At dusk on the third day, the twilight merged and it was almost dark.Lu Caishu stayed in the Kaifeng mansion. After having dinner, he was patrolling around the Kaifeng mansion, but he saw a person coming to the Kaifeng mansion and asked the yamen guard at the door: "Excuse me, is there a girl surnamed Lu in the yamen? Xia entrusted Xiaomin to bring a message to Miss Lu.",

Lu Caichun stepped forward and said to the man, "My surname is Lu, and it's me that Master Uncle is looking for."

The man looked her up and down, nodded his head and said: "Young lady looks like this - you can't be wrong." After saying that, he told Lu Caishu what Ouyang Chun had entrusted to her.It turned out that Ouyang Chun sent a group of thieves to Beijing on the outskirts of Kaifeng Mansion, and now he couldn't get away, fearing that Lu Caichun would wait for a long time, he entrusted this person to bring news to Lu Caichun.

The man said: "Bei Xia is really chivalrous, so I must invite him to Zhai Xing Lou for a drink."

Lu Caichun said: "Uncle, please don't do it." After thinking about it for a while, I'm afraid the team of merchants had this idea, Ouyang Chun couldn't shirk it, and since he and Lu Caichun hadn't seen each other for several months, he didn't know the situation of Kaifeng Mansion, so he said If you are not allowed to stay for a night of drinking, there will be a mistake and a big mistake.She hurriedly said: "Uncle, where is Master Uncle now? I'll go look for him."

Bai Yutang happened to be patrolling the street too, saw Lu Caichun talking with someone, walked over, listened to what they said, and said to Lu Caichun, "Sixth sister, if you want to pick up Beixia, we'd better do it together."

Lu Caichun said: "Master Bao..."

Bai Yutang said: "It's Pang Can who came. We are not many more, and we are not many less. But it will be of great help to bring your uncle back safely."

Seeing this, Lu Caichun allowed him to go with him.

Moon to midday.Bao Zheng was thirsty at night, and wanted to get up to take a sip of water, moisten his lips and throat, and then come back to rest, but when he got up, he reached over with his hand, but he felt that the side of the couch was empty, and his wife, Mrs. Dong, was missing.

Bao Zheng listened attentively to the movement around him.Not long after the new year's day, the spring snow has not yet melted, the house is cold, and the surroundings are so quiet that there is no sound.He opened his mouth to call his wife three or two times, but there was no response.After thinking about it, Xu was crying again, and the lady got up to call the nanny.

Then, under the bright moonlight shining through the window paper, Bao Zheng stood up gropingly, walked around the case step by step with his cloth shoes on.He was often thirsty at night, so Mrs. Dong prepared a cup of cold water and put it on the case.

The hand touches the teacup, and the porcelain is iced in the hand.After drinking the cold water, he felt that Mrs. Dong had not returned for a long time, and there was no other sound in the house, which was quite strange, so he put on a big cloak, drew up the beaded curtain, and went to look for Mrs. Dong.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold of the bedroom, I saw the lamp in the study, and the light reflected on the window screen.It's so late, and I don't know what Dong is doing in the study.

Bao Zheng stepped forward quickly, and when he was about to open the door to enter, he heard a strange movement in the study, like the sound of the foot of a chair knocking on the floor tiles.

I remember Bai Yutang told him about Pang Can a few days ago, Bao Zheng didn't push the door to go in, for fear that there was a desperado hiding in that room.He moved his feet slowly, wanting to retreat outwards, within a hundred paces, was the classroom where Chao Mahan and Four Rats stayed.

Before the foot could get down the steps, suddenly, the door creaked and opened.

The wind made the paper on the desk rattle.

Before Bao Zheng could be startled, a figure suddenly appeared in the room, his arms stretched out, grabbed Bao Zheng by the collar, and dragged him into the room.

With a creak, the partition door of the study closed.The lights in the house were still on.

>>

When Bao Zheng woke up, he felt his stomach churning and the back of his neck was sore.I moved my hands and feet, but I felt like I was tied with a rope.Trying to open his eyes, what he saw was a sullen boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, sitting on the table in the study with his legs crossed, playing with the Duan inkstone in his hand.The ink stained his hands, so he casually wiped it on the pages of books beside him.

Seeing Bao Zheng woke up, he grinned: "Old Bao, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, the last time I hurt your dog, did you talk to me? Well, maybe you didn't. What useful words, I can't remember a sentence, it's a pity." He put the inkstone back on the table, raised his eyebrows at Bao Zheng, and said: "To make up for the regret last time, this is not, the young master again Came to find you."

From what he said, Bao Zheng knew that he was Pang Can.

Bao Zheng glanced around the room, and what he saw was that Mrs. Tang was also tied under the bookshelf.She stuffed the sackcloth in her mouth, and she was looking at herself with tears in her eyes, and when she looked over again, there was only a child of two or three years old sleeping on the desk.

Bao Zheng asked: "But what do you want to do to the three of us?"

Pang Can jumped down from the table, walked around the room, and said: "Old Bao, you are stumped by asking such a question. Actually, I don't have any plans, maybe I will kill you." Son, maybe he killed your mother-in-law, or simply killed all three of you."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dong just cried, with a sackcloth stuffed in her mouth, and she cried quietly, only the sound of whining could be heard.

Bao Zheng nodded, and said: "In that case, I have a few words to ask you."

"Do you have a few words to ask me?" Pang Can walked forward with his hands behind his back, bowed his waist, and approached Bao Zheng in surprise. "

As he said that, Pang Can covered his face and made a crying begging for mercy, pinching his throat and learned: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, if you don't spare my life, I will - kill your whole family!" Opening five fingers, the gaze leaked between the fingers, Pang Can's eyes It's all mean sarcasm.

Bao Zheng quietly watched him play without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, Pang Can raised his hand, and said impatiently: "You ask what you want, the young master will answer if you are happy, and if you are not happy, you will slash your mother-in-law's face." As he said, he pulled the snow out of his boots. The dagger came and made two gestures in the air.

Bao Zheng looked at his son who seemed to be sleeping soundly, and asked Pang Can, "Why is my son sleeping here?"

Pang Can said: "I've been given anesthesia." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly yelled, "What nonsense questioning! Boring! Boring!"

When Bao Zheng found out that his son was fine, he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, regardless of Pang Can's yelling and cursing, he asked, "How did you get into my house?"

Pang Can turned a deaf ear and walked to Dong's side in two steps.Dong Shi was so horrified that she looked straight back and flinched.Pang Can raised his hand, the dagger slashed across, a green light flashed, and blood spattered out. Bao Zheng turned his face sideways, and next to his ears was Dong's yelling, which was covered with sackcloth.

"Old Bao, I'm telling you," Pang Can wiped away the blood with a dagger on the clothes on Dong's shoulders. Dong's eyes turned white and he almost fainted. Pang Can said, "Don't just ask these questions Some and nothing, you just need to know that no one can save you in this huge Kaifeng mansion."

"If someone really comes, come one, I will kill one, come two, I will kill a pair."
