Thousands of years

Turning his head to look at Zhan Zhao, he sighed in a tacit understanding and shook his head, thinking how could Xiong Fei like such a wild girl who has no woman's reservations?

The three of them came all the way to the main rudder of the Minglan Sect located in Tianshui Lane, handed in the greeting card, and waited outside the door for the announcement.

After a while, a member of the congregation came out and said: "The leader has ordered that the Minglan Sect never deal with people in the government, so I only see the Ding Shuangxia." After speaking, he stepped forward and said to the Ding Shuangxia: "Both please."

"Wait a minute." Zhan Zhao stepped forward, stopped the congregation, and said politely: "The above-mentioned Zhan came here as a Jianghu, why did the leader Ye stop him?" The leader of the sect, Ye Guhong, has an arrogant and weird personality, and he doesn't like to deal with people in the government, so he didn't wear an official uniform today, and even the name of Jiangnan Hero was written on the invitation card, but he still was rejected. outside.

The congregation looked at Zhan Zhao disdainfully, and said angrily: "The leader has spoken beforehand, unless you are not a guard of the Kaifeng mansion, but just a southern hero in the Jianghu, the leader just invited you in."

"You!" Zhan Zhao was furious for a while, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves into fists. In the years since he entered the officialdom, he has experienced such insults and supercilious glances many times, why he still bears it every time? Can't help burning with anger?

"Oh, why don't you have something to say." Ding Zhaolan saw that the situation was not right, and hurried forward to smooth things over: "Brother, please go and report it again, saying that we are here for private matters and not involved in officialdom, and please allow us to pay respects to Ye Ye. Hierarch."

"Then—you just wait." The congregation rolled their eyes and entered the door again.

The three of them waited outside the door until it was almost noon, when the congregation wandered out again, and said to the three of them: "The leader has ordered you, please come in."

Ding Zhaolan hurriedly said thank you, and the three of them just came in.

The congregation led them all the way to the hall, served tea and then retreated. The three of them waited for about a cup of tea, then heard footsteps, and hurriedly got up. A man about forty years old with a face came out from behind. The rosy and thin middle-aged man glanced at the three people present with his pair of phoenix eyes, and smiled at the Ding brothers: "These two must be the famous Ding's twin heroes, right? Ye has admired him for a long time."

The Ding brothers clasped their fists and replied, "Master Ye, you are being polite."

Ye Guhong glanced at Zhan Zhao who was at the side, snorted coldly, and didn't speak.

But Zhan Zhao didn't care, he cupped his fists and said, "Zhan Zhao has met Master Ye."

"My little Minglan sect can't hold Mr. Zhan, you are such a great Buddha." Ye Guhong said to Zhan Zhao in a strange way, Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes and remained silent.Ye Guhong then turned around and sat down on the grand teacher's chair in the middle, took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table, and got back to business: "I don't know why the three of you came here?"

Ding Zhaolan opened his mouth first after deliberating: "It's like this. A glazed glass cup from the Ding family was stolen last month. We two brothers inquired about it and sold it to the capital. A murder case happened in the capital's Mibaozhai yesterday. All the treasures at the scene of the murder were missing the glass lamp, and the token of your religion was also found at the scene, so the three of us came here to visit Master Ye."

Although Ding Zhaolan didn't speak clearly, the meaning in it was very obvious. Sure enough, Ye Guhong's face sank when he finished speaking. He put down the teacup and looked at Ding Zhaolan sharply: "What does Ding Shaoxia mean?" Did someone from my Minglan sect kill someone for grabbing the glazed cup?"

Ding Zhaolan didn't make a sound, but his expression was acquiescing. Seeing this, Zhan Zhao answered, "Then how does Master Ye explain that the token of your religion appeared at the scene of the murder?"

Ye Guhong's eyes shot at Zhan Zhao like lightning, and his tone was cold: "Master Zhan is asking questions?"

Zhan Zhao was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer.Ye Guhong turned to the Ding brothers again and said: "Since this is your Ding family's private matter, Ye doesn't understand why the two of you brought an outsider here?"

The Ding brothers were obviously taken aback, and then realized that this outsider was referring to Zhan Zhao. Ding Zhaohui was straightforward, and he laughed and said, "Xiong Fei, he will not be an outsider soon."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao looked at Ding Zhaohui in surprise, and Ding Zhaolan winked at him, Zhan Zhao didn't say anything else.

"Really? Ye doesn't care about other people, but my Minglan sect is not going to kill people for a small glazed cup." Ye Guhong said with disdain: "Everyone in the world knows that although my Minglan sect It is my duty to collect the world's treasures, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way. I would rather spend a lot of money to buy it than use such despicable and dirty methods, let alone this glazed cup is not a rare treasure."

"Then please explain this token to Master Ye." Zhan Zhao still asked resolutely.

"Hmph, Mr. Zhan won't convict with just a token?" Ye Guhong sneered, "My Minglan sect has thousands of people, and everyone has a token, which can be stolen or robbed." It can also be accidentally lost, and it is not impossible to fall into the hands of others, don't you think so? Mr. Zhan?"

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, Ding Zhaolan saw the situation and knew that it was impossible to ask anything during this trip, so he got up and wanted to leave.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the door, Ye Guhong's expression changed, he got up abruptly, and strode towards the door.At this time, a familiar voice came from the sound of fighting: "Just because you guys still want to stop Grandpa Bai, it's just wishful thinking."

Bai Yutang?Zhan Zhao was also shocked, he exchanged a glance with the Ding brothers, and the three of them went out together, only to see the courtyard was in a mess, several congregants were injured and fell to the ground, Bai Yutang's white clothes were covered with blood, Tao Hua's eyes were full of murderous intent, her shadow drooped slightly, and blood dripped on the ground.

"Bai Yutang, I, Minglan Sect, think highly of you, so I want to recruit you as a son-in-law. You don't want to be toasted and punished." Ye Guhong stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and said coldly.

"Hmph, what kind of decent family do you call yourself, and use such despicable methods to forcefully detain people. Grandpa Bai tells you that even if all the women in the world are dead, Grandpa Bai will not marry that savage and willful young lady of yours." " Bai Yutang gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

As soon as his words came out, the faces of the Ding brothers and Zhan Zhaojin changed, and they turned their gazes to Ye Guhong. Ye Guhong's eyes were filled with anger at first, and then he felt a little helpless for some reason. Finally, he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. : "A twisted melon is not sweet, let him go."

"But Missy..." a congregation couldn't help but say.

"There are so many men in the world, are you going to die for such a man?" Ye Guhong widened his eyes, wanting to vent his anger on the congregation, and shouted at him: "Let him go! "

Bai Yutang snorted coldly, glanced at Zhan Zhao and the others, put his shadow into his sheath, turned and left.Seeing this, the Ding brothers and Zhan Zhao hurriedly said their goodbyes and went out. Ye Guhong behind him had a sad expression on his face: "Bai Yutang has said such cruel words, Lan'er, there is nothing you can do as a father."

The three of Zhan Zhao quickly caught up with the angry Bai Yutang, "Fifth brother, what happened?" It was Ding Zhaolan who spoke first.

"Fifth Master, I have had a bad time. I met a savage and willful girl. I didn't say anything. I didn't expect this girl to have an even more unreasonable father. He tricked me here and forced Fifth Master to marry that girl. What a joke. I, Bai Yu Is Tang a person who is coerced casually?" Bai Yutang was still angry and said angrily.

"Brother Bai was talking about that girl that day?" Zhan Zhao, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth at this moment.

Bai Yutang nodded helplessly, and then asked, "Why did you come here?"

"Come here because of a case, now it seems that the trip is in vain." Zhan Zhao also shook his head and replied with a wry smile.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao and then at the Ding Heroes, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, Fifth Master, I'm going to find a place to take a bath and change clothes to get rid of this bad luck, and then I'll look for you later." After finishing speaking, stride away.

All three of them knew Bai Yutang's temper, so they let him go.It was almost noon, Ding Zhaolan proposed that he should go to eat something, both of them had no objection, so they went back the way they came.

Lin Ruoqing and Ding Yuehua came all the way to Tengyun Temple, where people come and go, incense is at its peak, the two waited in line for a long time, just now they got the peace talisman, Lin Ruoqing didn't shy away, asked for one for Zhan Zhao and old man Lin, Ding Yuehua also prayed for a talisman for the old mother and the two elder brothers.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. After the two prayed for blessings, they started to walk back. Lin Ruoqing mentioned to Ding Yuehua some things about the acquaintance between her and Zhan Zhao. move.

Lin Ruoqing suddenly felt that despite her identity as Ding Yuehua, she was really a very good girl, with a beautiful appearance, a good family background, elegant manners, and even martial arts skills, but the most terrible thing was that she was Ding Yuehua, because of this, all her advantages are dazzling in Lin Ruoqing's eyes. It is because she is so good that Lin Ruoqing always reminds herself to beware of her. Not trusting Zhan Zhao, her sensitivity and defensiveness escalated in the following days, which finally triggered the first fierce quarrel between her and Zhan Zhao.

Tangled

Because there was nothing found in Minglanjiao, the case fell into a stalemate again. The Kaifeng government had to start with the jewelry merchants and shops again, and also investigate the person surnamed Xiao who sold the glazed cups to Mibaozhai. However, this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. It may take a long time to solve the case, and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion is busy again.

As soon as Zhan Zhao got busy with work, he left early and returned late every day, and had no time to look for Lin Ruoqing, but Lin Ruoqing couldn't get bored and ran to Kaifeng Mansion every day. First, he missed Zhan Zhao, and second, Ding Yuehua
