Dragon Pattern Roll Set

"This Tan Jin is said to be the most appreciated and promising member of the military department back then. He held a high position at a young age." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked side by side, telling him what Grand Master Pang told him. , Regarding Tan Jin's past, "But this man has a problem, he loves knives like his life."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "He knows martial arts?"

"Not really." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Although he belongs to the Ministry of War, he is indeed a civil servant, but civil servants also have hobbies. It seems that collecting world-famous knives is a hobby. It is simply an addiction."

Bai Yutang nodded.

"Originally, he was doing well as an official. Once, he went to the palace for some errands and wanted to enter the warehouse where the tributes were stored. He saw something. Guess what it is?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "A precious sword?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "No, it's said that he couldn't walk when he saw the knife, and Tan Jin made a strange mistake, so he took the sheep by hand."

"Hehe." Ouyang Shaozheng heard it from the front, he turned his head and walked back while interjecting, "I also know about that."

Bai Yutang looked at Ouyang Shaozheng, "About how many years ago?"

"It's been about ten years." Ouyang shrugged, "Nangong said this, and the emperor hadn't ascended the throne at that time."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Are you familiar with Nangong?"

"Naturally." Ouyang smiled, "I, Zhao Pu, Nangong and the emperor all grew up together."

Zhan Zhao laughed, "Then next time we go to Kaifeng to drink together? Nangong and I also hit it off."

Ouyang nodded, and Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang again, "When are you going to Kaifeng? When I visited the city, I saw a few shops, which I said belonged to Sky Island, and a mansion called Cuixing Garden, which was also from Sky Island." , will you live there?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes, occasionally."

"That's good, we can drink together when you go." Zhan Zhao said, remembering that he hadn't explained Tan Jin clearly, he quickly pulled the topic back and continued, "Speaking of it, Tan Jin The accident was also related to Nangong. It is said that when the emperor was still the crown prince, he saw the knife and kept thinking about waiting for Nangong's birthday, so he asked his father to give it to Nangong as a gift. But it was so easy to wait until the day came I also agreed, and went to get it... but the knife is gone."

Bai Yutang slightly raised his eyebrows - stealing the tribute and leaving the palace ruined Tan Jin's official career.

"That incident was a big one at that time." Ouyang helped to say, "The first emperor asked Mr. Bao and the Minister of War at that time, Grand Master Pang, to investigate this matter. Think about it, there are records for everyone entering and exiting the warehouse. Isn't Tan Jin just Have you been caught?"

Bai Yutang frowned.

"But it's such a coincidence that Tan Jin was attacked." Ouyang spread his hands

Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, "You mean Yang Caisheng?"

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao nodded, "Tan Jin was seriously injured and finally resigned. Master Bao also found the knife. Tan Jin just returned to his hometown and disappeared from sight."

Bai Yutang seemed a little puzzled, "If he breaks the law, he breaks the law. Lord Bao told him to resign just like that?"

Zhan Zhao shrugged, "Well, it is said that it was an amnesty granted by His Majesty the late Emperor."

"There is a reason, it's just that the people don't know about it." Ouyang smiled slightly, because "the promise of returning to the sword."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, puzzled, "A promise to return the sword?"

"After the saber was brought back, the former emperor gave the saber to the emperor, and then Tan Jin was to be punished severely." Ouyang said, "It happened to be Nangong's birthday that day, and Zhao Zhen cheerfully gave him the gift, but unexpectedly Nangong returned the saber."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wondered, "Why? Don't you like it?"

"Of course not, it's a good sword." Ouyang smiled lightly, "Nangong had Nangong's plan, so he returned the sword to the first emperor, and asked him to punish Tan Jin lightly."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were curious, could it be that they have some relationship?

"It was related to the fact that the late emperor's health was not good at that time, but the emperor was still very young, his foundation was not strong, and the prince had not yet made his mark in the army." Ouyang said, "At that time, the military department was strong, and Tan Jin was undeniably capable. He is usually loyal and loyal without fault, but for a while, he stole a knife and was severely punished. I am afraid that many people will feel wronged for him. Besides, Nangong felt that he was just a guard, and it was inevitable that he would cause this incident. People leave the impression that Zhao Zhen doesn't distinguish between public and private matters, so it's better to sell favors to the people in the Ministry of War and deal with Tan Jin lightly, which is good for everyone."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, Nangong Ji was the number one expert in the palace, the commander of the guards, and the person Zhao Zhen trusted the most. It turned out that he had been so loyal since he was a child, and he seemed to be very patient, not an ordinary person.

"The late emperor was really happy at that time." Ouyang smiled, "Nangong achieved many things with one stroke, and the late emperor felt a little more at ease with the emperor. He felt that he employed people properly and someone thought about him, which meant that he was popular. After that, the late emperor was really light Sentenced Tan Jin, this matter has passed lightly, and the grand master also has face. Later, the late emperor made an agreement with Nangong and the emperor under the knife. Nangong will treat Zhao Zhen with sincerity and share his worries, while Zhao Zhen Also remember Nangong's loyalty and treat him like a brother."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood that this was the case. No wonder the relationship between Zhao Zhen and Nangong Ji was like a master and a servant, but also like a brother. Nangong is so good at it, he doesn't seek fame or fortune, he only knows how to protect Zhao Zhen Safety.

"However, Grand Master Pang mentioned a detail." While Zhan Zhao was speaking, everyone had already arrived at the door of one of the three addresses.

It was almost dark at this time, Ouyang ran to knock on the door, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood behind and continued talking.

"What details?"

"The grand master said that Tan Jin was originally a very elegant person, but I don't know if the knives he collected were too murderous, or he touched some demon knives or evil knives. He became weirder every day, and his temper became very violent. " Zhan Zhao saw that Ouyang knocked on the door and went in for a while, then ran out dejectedly, and asked, "Is this the place?"

Ouyang shook his head, "The blacksmith is not yet 20 years old, and no one in his ancestors made knives."

"Then let's go to the next one." Zhan Zhao and the others changed to another one, not far away, while continuing to talk.

"I'm not familiar with Tan Jin." Ouyang crossed his arms, "But I've seen him a few times, mostly at banquets or parties in the palace, and he always feels like he's not alone."

"That much has changed?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Well, when we met at first, it was because he was the only one among a group of bad old men who was very young, so I paid attention to him. He is fair and gentle, and he speaks softly." Ouyang shook his head, "But it didn't happen in a blink of an eye. A few years, wow, this guy's skin has become rough, his beard is unshaven, his eyeballs are muddy, and his face has several wrinkles. At that time, the prince said something, "See, don't be a civil servant, become a civil servant!" Hurry up'!"

While talking, he went to the second house again, and Ouyang went to knock on the door again.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood at the door.

"But if you are obsessed with any murder weapon, it's easy to die early." Bai Yutang was a little worried, "According to what Ouyang said, if it was this serious ten years ago, don't die now."

Zhan Zhao sighed, Tan Jin shouldn't be too young, don't really die...

"Unfortunate!"

At this time, Ouyang ran out again, "The one here is even more unreliable, it's an ear pick!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then laughed.

Ouyang looked at the two, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Yes, yes, laugh, there is only the last one left, if you can't find it, it will be really troublesome."

Zhan Zhao looked at the third address, "It's so far away."

"Let's go." Ouyang quickened his pace, "Otherwise it will be too late."

The three hurried towards that address.

Put the three of them down to find the last address without mentioning it, let's talk about the Yamen at this moment.

Zhao Pu walked back with the fourth son in his arms, passed by the shop in front of the yamen, the fourth son pointed to the fish ball shop and said, "Daddy likes the steamed swallow skin dumplings and fish skin wontons here."

Zhe Ying immediately went over to buy a few copies, and walked into the yamen with Zhao Pu carrying a food box.

Ziying looked around, and found that several rooms in the yamen were lit, and she caught a glimpse of the grand master sitting in the yard drinking tea.Bao Zheng came out of the study with a pair of chopsticks.

Zhao Pu glanced at the table and frowned—it was a simple meal.

Taishi and Master Bao seem to be so busy that they only have time to eat now, Zhao Pu frowned, why are there vegetables and tofu?

Zheying hurried forward and handed them steamed dumplings and wontons, leaving one for Gongsun, and Ziying went to order food from the restaurant opposite.

Bao Zheng hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty, you don't need to spend any money. I'm used to eating lightly at night, and I'm in good health."

The grand master also raised his hand in embarrassment while eating the steamed dumplings, "My lord, Mr. Gongsun just gave me a recipe. I can only eat cabbage and tofu at night. He said that he wants me to lose [-] catties a month. It is said that I can live ten times longer." Years. When you are old, you are no younger than you, and eating fish and meat is not useful.”

Zhao Pu looked at the fourth son.

The fourth son nodded, "Eat a good breakfast and a full lunch, but you must eat less at night, especially for the elderly. It is best not to eat big fish or meat for dinner, or you will get sick."

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows and asked Bao Zheng, "What about the scholar?"

Bao Zheng and Pang Ji looked at each other and pointed, "It's in the morgue."

Zhao Pu frowned, looked up at the dark sky and half a bright moon, "What are you doing in the morgue at such a night?"

"His autopsy." Bao Zheng was full of praise for Gongsun, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Mr. Gongsun is really amazing! A miracle doctor! Not only was the assassin cured by him just now, the autopsy also found many clues. I have a lot of ideas."

Zhao Pu nodded, "Has he eaten yet?"

"Not yet. He said it's not suitable to eat before the autopsy, and he can't eat it after the autopsy. He will eat it tomorrow morning." Pang Ji shook his head, "This gentleman is good at everything, but he doesn't take care of himself very much. It looks like something..." Then, he asked Bao Zheng.

"Yeah." Bao Zheng also nodded, "He is obsessed with medical skills and has a sense of justice. He is full of economics and knowledge. I really don't understand how such a talented man is willing to be a young doctor in the village. It's really... Sigh!"

Pang Ji and Bao Zheng shook their heads in regret.

Ziying and Zheying turned their heads together, squinting at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu felt that his forehead was sweating—is it all his fault?

After dawdling, Zhao Pu carried his fourth son to the morgue.

The light was on in the morgue, but the door was closed. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were at the door. One was sitting in the yard and the other was sitting on the steps. When they saw Zhao Pu, they all got up and saluted.

Zhao Pu smiled and nodded, and put the fourth son on the ground.

The fourth son ran over and knocked on the door, "Daddy, Daddy, I'm back!"

From inside the door, Gongsun's muffled voice came, "Are you back? Go to Mr. Bao first, Dad will be fine soon."

"Oh." The fourth son nodded, ran to the middle of the yard, climbed onto the stone bench, and sat facing Zhao Hu, waiting for his father.

Zhao Hu peeled an orange for him, looked up, and saw Zhao Pu circling in the yard with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu looked at each other, and looked at the fourth son in puzzlement. What does that mean—the prince is also in trouble?

The fourth son smiled and stretched out his fingers and made a "shh" gesture to the two. Zhao Hu and Zhang Long understood, and seeing that Zhao Pu seemed to be irresistible, they said they were going to eat in shifts.

Zhao Pu wished that everyone would leave, so he kept nodding his head to tell them to go eat quickly.

Gongsun said "It will be ready soon", nearly an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

The fourth son was already asleep, Ziying wrapped him in Zhao Pu's cloak, hugged him and made him snore in his arms, Zhe Ying squatted on the eaves and looked at the sky, Zhao Pu looked at the morgue. The flickering lights felt a bit unbelievable, why did this frail scholar stare at the corpse for so long?

Not long after, I heard the sound of the door opening.

Everyone looked up together and saw Gongsun walking out of the morgue while picking off a piece of gauze covering his face.

When he looked up, he was surprised to see Zhao Pu in the yard.

The two sides looked at each other, and Gongsun saw the fourth son in Ziying's arms, so he leaned over to have a look, and felt relieved when he saw the fourth son sleeping blushing.

Ziying felt that Gongsun should hate them very much, so she asked tremblingly, "Where do you live at night? I'll help you carry him there."

Gongsun pointed to a guest room not far away, "There, please."

Ziying froze for a moment, then kept shaking her head, "No trouble, no trouble."

Zhe Ying followed suit, "I'm going to make the bed hot."

Gongsun also thanked him with a smile.

Zhe Ying and Zi Ying were overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurried away with the fourth son in their arms.

Gongsun fetched water to wash his hands, washed them very carefully, and put some medicine in the washbasin, which had a faint musky smell.

Ziying and Zheying were busy for a while, stuffed the little four who slept like piglets into the quilt, and came to the door to watch the battle.

"Ahem." Zhao Pu saw that Gongsun continued to ignore him, but judging from his expression towards Zi Ying and Zhe Ying, he seemed to be in a good mood today, so he took advantage of the heat and said, "Mr. Gongsun."

Gongsun poured out the water and went to the well, which seemed to mean that he needed to scoop up a basin.

Zhao Pu hurried forward to help him scoop water.

Gongsun saw that the washbasin had been snatched away by him, so he waited aside, squinting at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu put a basin full of water in front of Gongsun.

Gongsun washes his hands.

Zhao Pu scratched his head.

Coughed again.

Gongsun looked at him, "Cough? You talk too much, soak some licorice in water and stop talking for three days."

The corner of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, feeling that it was more strenuous than going to the battlefield, and he scratched his head.

Gongsun was a little surprised, Zhao Pu's behavior was similar to that of the fourth son when he was in a hurry.

"Hmm..." Zhao Pu continued to hum and fall ill.

Ziying and Zheying are in a hurry.

"You're talking!" Ziying stomped her feet.

"That's right, aren't you short of mouth, why are you dumb now!" Zhe Ying shook her head.

"That's it!"

Another voice came up, and when Ziying and Zheying lowered their heads, they saw the fourth son, wrapped in his little quilt, running over at some point, peering through the crack of the door to watch seriously.

Gongsun finished washing his hands and was leaving.

Zhao Pu hurriedly said, "Then what, let's go after eating."

Gongsun felt a little hungry, so he asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes." Zhao Pu took out steamed swallow skin dumplings and fish skin wontons from the food box.

Gongsun saw that he had a lot of appetite, but it was already cold, "Take it to warm up."

"No need." Zhao Pu stretched out his hand to cover the wonton bowl, and said to Gongsun, "Eat it, be careful not to burn it."

Gongsun reached out to touch the bowl, retracted his hand when it was hot, and looked at Zhao Pu in surprise.

Zhao Pu raised his face while touching his ears, and held the steamed dumplings for a while, then put them down again, and the steamed dumplings were also hot.

Gongsun sat down to eat, he was actually very hungry, and the two food just fit his appetite, eating warmly, he was in a good mood.

Zhao Pu went to the table and sat down, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

In the room, the fourth son clenched his fists, "Jiujiu, come on!"

Ziying and Zheying looked at him together, "Changed to Jiujiu?"

"Come on!" The fourth son raised his face, smiling sweeter than honey.

Ziying clutched her throbbing heart, so cute!

Gongsun was eating wontons and saw Zhao Pu straining, he seemed to be constipated, and felt a little awkward, "My lord, what are you doing?"

Zhao Pu scratched his head when he heard that "Prince" sounded like a fool, and finally said, "I know that person, is his name Wang Gui?"

Gongsun was slightly taken aback, then looked up at Zhao Pu.

The fourth son tilted his head, the man with the broken leg seemed to be Wang Gui.

Gongsun put down his spoon and stared at Zhao Pu for a long time, "Do you remember Wang Gui?"

"I remember." Zhao Pu said, "Aren't you from Shaoxing? I remember that there were seven people from Jiangnan who were injured in that battle and went home. One of them is from Shaoxing, and that's Wang Gui."

Gongsun paused for a moment, lowered his head and continued eating wontons, "You remember everything?"

"Hmm." Zhao Pu frowned, feeling very guilty, "I really didn't expect his leg to be injured by a quack doctor. I always thought that every military doctor in the military camp was a good doctor..."

"It has nothing to do with military doctors." Gongsun suddenly interrupted Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was stunned, "Huh?"

Zi Ying and Zhe Ying also looked at each other, and looked down at the fourth son together. The fourth son scratched his head and raised his head in confusion—what's the situation?

Zhao Pu also stared at Gongsun, "Aren't you mad at me because of Wang Gui?"

Gongsun ate the wonton and asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Little four." Zhao Pu replied.

Gongsun thought for a while, "Oh... Wang Gui came here a few times later, the fourth son may not have heard all of it."

"What did you hear?" Zhao Pu was puzzled.

"Wang Gui doesn't hate you." Gongsun said, "He asked the military doctor to amputate his injured leg by himself."

"What?" Zhao Pu was astonished.

Ziying and Zheying looked at each other, what's going on?

Gongsun finished his wontons and ate steamed dumplings, "Wang Gui's leg was seriously injured, and he might become lame after healed. He told me that he was actually very timid. He went to join the army because he had no food. Every time he fought, he They are all worried, especially when they see dead people or think that they are going to die."

Zhao Pu frowned, "Then why didn't he retire? I don't force people to serve as soldiers..."

"He knows, but he is lame, what can he do when he returns home?" Gongsun asked, "Wang Gui said that you are very kind to disabled soldiers and will take care of them until they grow old. His half leg. Wang Gui got a lot of money and went home. He is very good at doing business. Now he is an employee of Shaoxing Mansion. Not to mention his wealth, he has several wives and sons and daughters. He is not at all. He hates you, and even said that you are his second parent, and whoever dares to speak ill of you will break his leg and fight with others."

Zhao Pu was stunned.

In the room, Ziying and Zheying were also stunned.

The fourth son scratched his head, it's so purple!

After a long time, Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, "Then why do you hate me so much? You still call me a bear?"

After Gongsun finished eating the steamed dumplings, he slapped his chopsticks on the table, "How dare you say that when I traveled all the way to the desert to help, you actually said that I was useless for being a nerd, eating cat food, not growing meat, and dying halfway through the journey?" , Don’t let me enter the barracks!”

……

The fourth son opened his mouth wide, looked up at Ziying and Zheying.

Zhe Ying and Zi Ying looked at each other, scratched their chins and shook their heads, "This style of speaking doesn't sound like a prince's!"

Zhao Pu also opened his mouth wide, "When did I... ever tell you that you won't gain weight if you eat cat food?"

"You said it!" Gongsun's temper was obviously worse than everyone imagined.

At this time, Ziying and Zheying saw the fourth son sighed, shook their heads and crawled back to the bed.

Ziying leaned over, "Little Si, your father..."

The fourth son waved his hand, "Daddy is so sensitive, Jiujiu is innocent, so pitiful!" After finishing speaking, he covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep.

In the yard, Zhao Pu pointed to himself and asked Gongsun, "I just said that the scholar is not too thin..."

"You still say?" Gongsun Huoda said, "Do you dare to say that I am so thin that I am useless without the strength to restrain a chicken?"

Zhao Pu opened his mouth wide, "Where did I say..."

"You said it just now!" Gongsun glared at him, "I hate people saying that I'm thin, that I'm a quack doctor, that I'm a scholar who is useless!"

Zhao Pu stared at Gongsun dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun suddenly lifted up the stool, sat down again, and while tidying up the plates and food boxes on the table, said very calmly, "Forget it."

Zhao Pu moved aside a little bit, "Are you okay? Why are you so moody?"

Gongsun looked at him and said, "I really didn't expect you to still remember Wang Gui, um, seeing how affectionate and righteous you are to the soldiers, I don't care about you."

Zhao Pu saw a bright smile on Gongsun's face, and he became more amiable. He stretched out his hand to cover his chest—why did he jump so fast?

"Ugh."

Seeing that Gongsun had packed up his things and was about to leave, Zhao Pu asked him again, "You don't want to be an official because of me..."

"Wow, what are you thinking about, do you have such a big face? You, I can't bear to let the little four run around." Gongsun picked his teeth with a toothpick in his mouth, "Besides, I have money, and those royal relatives are so picky. It's a disease of the rich and the rich, who has time to serve them." After finishing speaking, he wandered off to wash the dishes.

In the room, Ziying and Zheying were stunned for a long time, then suddenly they thumped the ground with a "poof".

Zhao Pu felt the cool breeze blowing in the small courtyard, and was stunned for a while, cursing his mother, "His grandma! The scholar is really unreasonable."
