Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng walked towards the front hall under the leadership of the housekeeper. The guests in the front hall were noisy, and many people came to celebrate the birthday, and naturally there were many important figures among them.Among these people, Bao Zheng, Gong and Sun Ce are insignificant.

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng didn't like this kind of occasion very much. According to their temperament, at this time, they should present the gift, and after a few polite words with the host, they can go back. But today, the two But they all stayed quietly.

As for the reason, it is naturally the master Pang who has not shown up until now when all the guests are here.

Gongsun Ce leaned close to Bao Zheng's ear and said in a low voice, "I always feel something is wrong."

"The Grand Master didn't show up." Bao Zheng lowered his eyebrows, carefully feeling the scent of ink in his ears, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"I always feel that something is going to happen." Gongsun Ce said in a low voice, frowning.

Bao Zheng just stretched out his hand, and shook Gongsun Ce's hand quietly. He didn't say anything, thinking about the grand master's painting and the words of the Eight Worthy Kings, his heart sank slightly, and he sighed a little. Probably, the thing had already happened.

Soon, the guests who were talking and joking also felt that something was wrong, and they all became quiet. Afterwards, all the guests saw Concubine Pang and the third son of the Pang family, Pang Yu, rushing out, and Concubine Pang hurriedly walked out of the door. Walking away, before the guests who were kneeling and saluting had no time to raise their heads, Pang Yuqiang said with a smile, "I'm sorry everyone, today's birthday is here. Pang Yu will come to thank you someday." After finishing speaking, Pang Yu hurriedly followed .

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce stood up, looked at each other, and when the guests were discussing in amazement, they also walked outside.

When Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce walked out of Pang's mansion, crossed the street, and were about to return to their place of residence, a man came in a hurry and stopped them.

"Dare to ask, but Lord Bao, Mr. Gongsun?" Although the visitor was wearing ordinary clothes, he had the token of the six doors hanging on his waist.

"Yes, I am Bao Zheng, and this father-in-law is..." Bao Zheng clasped his hands and asked.

"My lord, Lin Bin, is ordered by the Eight Worthy Kings to invite the two of you, please come with me." Lin Bin said respectfully.

Bao Zheng nodded slightly, Gongsun Ce looked at Lin Bin, doubts flashed in his heart, he remembered...at this time in his previous life, it was the Eight Wise Kings who were framed and imprisoned, and then, the Six Gates also sent a person to talk to Bao Zheng Contact...but not this person today.

Following Lin Bin, in order to hurry, the three of them rode on horseback, and because of the ban on horses in the main streets of Kyoto, the three of them dismounted in front of Tianjie. Then, when they were ushered into the majestic and majestic palace, Gongsun Ce's heart ached. A thud, could it be... the Eight Sage Kings still haven't escaped the fate of being framed in this life?

——This temple is a temple for offering sacrifices to heaven!

But when Gongsun Ce was walking quickly, on the platform in front of the palace, Gongsun Ce was surprised to see the eight sage kings frowning pacing back and forth.

Not the Eight Sage Kings?

The Eight Worthy King put his sleeves together, frowned, and paced back and forth. When he saw Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce approaching, he couldn't help but loosen his brows a little. Before Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng came, He raised his voice and said, "Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, you all come with me!" After finishing speaking, the Eight Wise Kings strode towards the palace.

Bao Zheng frowned. The Eight Sage Kings could not even maintain their usual gentleness and elegance. It seemed that it was not an ordinary trouble.

"A Ce, follow me later." Bao Zheng turned his head to Gongsun Ce who was a step behind him and said in a low voice.

Gongsun Ce nodded slightly, and his expression became serious.

This place... In his previous life, he accompanied Bao Zheng to come here for inspection, Kou Zhu, the maid who was dedicated to Li Niangniang...

After entering the hall, Gongsun Ce saw a middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back in the center of the hall, with a calm and majestic face, a calm expression, and a purple official robe—Pang Taishi? !

Gongsun Ce opened his eyes wide.

But Bao Zheng thought about it, it turns out... Grand Master Pang is actually here?

Grand Master Pang glanced at Bao Zheng and the astonished Gongsun Ce lightly, then turned his gaze away and fixedly looked at the Eight Sage Kings.

"Why bother, my lord?" Grand Master Pang asked, his voice a little hoarse, "This is the end of the matter, why don't you just let it go?"

Gongsun Ce listened, and couldn't help but look at the Eight Sage Kings. These words... sound a bit strange.

"Hmph! The Grand Master doesn't need you to care about this king's affairs! The Grand Master only needs to cooperate with Bao Zheng in investigating the case!" Eight Sage Kings said, with obvious annoyance in his voice.

Instead, Taishi Pang smiled in a low voice, and the laughter revealed some joy.

Gongsun Ce felt a sense of horror in an instant. You know, no matter in his previous life or this life, it was the first time he saw Grand Master Pang smiling so happily!

But Bao Zheng looked at the Eight Sage Kings again with some doubts, and then at Grand Master Pang, guessing in his heart that the friendship between the two should be quite deep.

"Okay! Bao Zheng, I will leave this place to you, Gongsun Ce, you come with me." The Eighth Worthy King seemed to be in a panic all of a sudden, turned around suddenly, spoke in a hurry, and strode away after speaking.

Gongsun Ce clapped his hands in response, and when he left, Gongsun Ce glanced at Grand Master Pang, and Grand Master Pang's smiling eyes still fell on the figure of the Eight Sage Kings who turned and left.

Gongsun Ce only felt that staring gaze was very familiar, as if he had seen it on someone before?

But this kind of doubt is only fleeting, and Gongsun Ce hastily left with the Eight Sage Kings.

After Gongsun Ce and the Eight Worthy Kings left, Bao Zheng bowed his hands to Taishi Pang and was about to close the gate of the hall, but Taishi Pang said, "No need, everyone outside is my confidant."

Taishi Pang said lightly, then turned around and sat down beside him.

Bao Zheng paused, then turned to look at Grand Master Pang with sharp eyes, "If Bao Zheng is not mistaken, what is outside is the Royal Forest Army in the palace?"

"Wrong, a month ago, they were just a member of the Shenjia Army in Kyoto." Grand Master Pang said, pointing to the seat opposite him and said to Bao Zheng, "Sit down."

Bao Zheng glanced at Grand Master Pang, lifted his hem and sat down on the chair, looked at Grand Master Pang, "What is the grand master's intention?"

"If you ask outsiders? I have nothing to say. Because of Defang's appreciation for you, the most I can tell you is that Defang knew about their existence long ago." Grand Master Pang said, looking up at Bao Zheng, "If you ask me why I am here, then I can tell you something."

Bao Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "The grand master misunderstood. Bao Zheng is not curious about the people outside. I think why the grand master is here. If the grand master is not willing, no one can force him, right? Bao Zheng thought The question is, why did the Grand Master drag Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce into the whirlpool?"

——Since everyone frankly told him that the outside was the grand master's confidant, then what's the use of him asking?And being in this palace seems to be under house arrest?The only one in the world who can put the grand master under house arrest is the one on the dragon chair.

Intuition told Bao Zheng that these are all troubles, and he had better not know too much.

But now, looking at the calm and calm man opposite, Bao Zheng knew that without the monstrous power of the opposite man, it would be impossible for him and Gongsun Ce to escape from it. From the very beginning, he and Gongsun Ce had received From the day of the invitation, everything seemed to be under the control of the opposite person.

——I'm afraid... the Eight Sage Kings are also one of them.

"You are very smart and sensitive enough. Defang is right to appreciate you." Grand Master Pang tapped the chair with his finger, and the corner of his mouth drew a small arc, "Do you still remember Qinghe Town?"

"Remember." Bao Zheng's heart trembled, don't tell him, this incident has something to do with Qinghe Town?

"The puppet in Qinghe Town who is very similar to the Holy One has also come to the capital. He seems to miss those of us who have had a relationship with him once, and plans to play a game with us..." Grand Master Pang said, with a smile on the corner of his mouth There was some faint sarcasm, "And the Holy One, it seems that the childlike innocence is still there, and he plans to play together..."

Bao Zheng couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, Your Majesty... It seems that the trouble this time is too great.

"Bao Zheng, you attach great importance to Gongsun Ce." Grand Master Pang changed the subject abruptly.

Bao Zheng was startled, he couldn't help becoming vigilant, but his expression remained calm.

"He's my friend."

Grand Master Pang seemed to be looking at Bao Zheng amusedly, "Friend? If you say that, then, Bao Zheng, listen, I also have someone who I value very much."

Bao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, who is Grand Master Pang valued?The face of the Eight Sage Kings subconsciously appeared in Bao Zheng's heart...

"If someone threatens you with Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng, what would you do?" Grand Master Pang asked slowly.

Bao Zheng frowned and said calmly, "I won't let anyone hurt him, no one can hurt him."

Taishi Pang looked at Bao Zheng and smiled slightly, "Is that so? Bao Zheng, the difference between me and you is probably that I will eradicate everyone who threatens him, so...you and Gongsun Ce have to go to this time The waters are muddy."

At this time, Gongsun Ce was looking at the corpse in the side hall, and Gongsun Ce felt a little bit sour, it was still... Kou Zhu.

"Gongsun Ce?" Seeing that Gongsun Ce looked at the corpse with an uneasy face, the Eighth Sage King raised his eyebrows and asked, "But what's wrong?"

Gongsun Ce came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and looked at the Eighth Sage King, "My lord... this maid is seriously ill." As he spoke, Gongsun Ce raised the hand of the palace lady to let the Eighth Sage King take a closer look at the nails. thick black.

The Eighth Wise King frowned, "Gongsun Ce, be more careful."

"This person's nails are black and his lips are jet black. If I'm not mistaken, this person must have suffered from an incurable disease." Gongsun Ce carefully inspected it. Bao Zheng himself inspected it in his previous life, and then repeated the inspection twice. , this time, he came by himself, hoping to get some more information.

"It's a disease that cannot be cured..." the Eighth Sage King murmured to himself, then looked down at the corpse with frowning eyes, and murmured, "Why is this?"

"My lord?" Gongsun Ce couldn't help but said, "Why don't you leave first, maybe I will use some taboo methods later?"

——Dissecting a corpse or something, my lord, you are here, it is not easy to operate.

"It doesn't matter, this king has no taboos, what should you do?" King Baxian smiled, and squatted down, watching Gongsun Ce move.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce simply concentrated on the autopsy.
