Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Capturing Wei Chang and the fake Zhang Meiren alive means that there are two more people who can be questioned, and it seems that Wei Chang has been a traitor in the palace for a long time, so he should know a lot.

As for these two people, judging by their expressions, Zhang Meiren almost committed suicide just now, and she seemed to be relatively loyal, so she might not open her mouth if she asked him.

But Wei Chang, with his wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes, seems to have a more lively heart.And those who think about running for their lives when something happens are usually relatively timid, so everyone decided to start with Wei Chang.

"Speak." Zhan Zhao poked Wei Chang, "If you tell the truth, I'll spare you, and if you don't tell the truth, I'll eunuch you!"

……

Everyone silently looked at each other, Zhan Zhao's threat probably came from Xiaodongzi's inspiration.

Wei Chang grinned in agony, and begged for mercy, saying that he was willing to tell everything, and that he was actually forced to do so.

According to Wei Chang's account, the fake Zhang beauty is called Zhang Xie, and both of them are descendants of the Chen family villagers who were trapped in the purgatory under the ancient golden city with Chen Mao.

At that time, the people of Dongjia Village took the money and went to have fun, but Chenjia Village almost lost nearly half of its strong labor force and suffered heavy losses. Later, they did not leave.

Wei Changshu was well educated, and it was with great difficulty that he managed to get such an excellent job in the management office. His parents died early, his elder brother was alone, his work was labor-saving and his salary was generous, and he lived a carefree life.

But one day, Chen Xiu suddenly found him, and a few people said they were his fellow villagers.

Wei Chang originally thought that the fellow villagers came to seek refuge after they couldn't get along, and wanted to help make a living, but unexpectedly, these fellow villagers were good at killing people without blinking an eye, especially that Chen Xiu, who set fire to him with just a flip of his hand, scaring his master to death!

Chen Xiu asked him to enter the Chilian Hall, but he refused. On the one hand, Chen Xiu accused him of not even avenging his ancestors, and on the other hand threatened him that if he didn't help, he would be turned into scorched earth immediately.

Wei Chang was frightened by him, so he had no choice but to cooperate with him in order to save his life, tattooing a fire phoenix on his arm, and doing things for him.

The task Chen Xiu gave him was not difficult, that is, let him find some things in the palace, and then act as an internal response. If he wants to arrange someone to go out and in, Wei Chang's position is more convenient to help cover it.

Therefore, Wang Dong pretended to be his father-in-law to enter the palace, and later escaped, all of which were done secretly by him.

It's just that the Chilian Palace has grown bigger and bigger these years, and Wei Chang doesn't know what they want to do. The original happy life is gone, and he is worried every day, for fear that one day his head will fall.

Not long ago, Zhang Xie entered the palace. The reason was that Wei Chang and Wang Dong hadn't found any clues after searching for so long. Chen Xiu was a little impatient, and Chen Xiu seemed to have some clues, so he let Zhang Xie come in pretending to be a beauty. Zhang Xie's kung fu is much better than that of Wei Chang and Wang Dong, and he is more convenient to handle.

A while ago, Zhang Xie came to Wei Chang suddenly and asked him to send a message to Tongling, asking him to find a way to enter the palace. He found the tortoise shell but it was difficult to get it, so he asked Tongling to do it.

Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard this. Indeed, according to Zhang Xie's reaction, he should have put the silver tortoise shell in Concubine Pang's yard.But he shouldn't be counted as the little fourth son who put the tortoise shell into the house to pad the table legs!Also...why did he do that?Now that the tortoise shell has been obtained, wouldn't it be better to hand it over to Wei Chang and let him take it out of the palace, why bother to hide it in Concubine Pang's yard for the copper bell to steal?

Wei often looked puzzled on everyone's face, and said, "I'll tell you more, can you give me a lighter sentence?"

Bao Zheng nodded, indicating yes.

"Actually, as far as I know, Chen Xiu trusts Tongling very much and admires him very much." Wei Changdao, "So even if Tongling is not from Chenjiacun, he still sits in the position of deputy hall master. But I heard Chi A few brothers from Chenjiacun in Liantang complained, saying that Tongling doesn't care about anything except martial arts, and doesn't know anything, and people are very annoying. But Chen Xiu just valued him and asked him to make a second deal To put it bluntly, in case something happens to Chen Xiu in the future, and the seat will be given to Tong Ling, isn’t the Chilian Hall that so many of them have worked so hard to build a wedding dress for others?”

After listening to Tong Ling's words, everyone had some clues.

"Oh..." Gongsun nodded, "Zhang Xie deliberately let the copper bell enter the palace, and ventured to get the carapace in Concubine Pang's courtyard. Now in the palace, Concubine Pang's courtyard is the most heavily guarded place. If he goes in , it’s difficult to get out. Yes, he is indeed very good at kung fu, but there are also many masters in the palace, and Zhao Pu and the others should be there on the night of the celebration... Naturally someone wants his life, this trick is to kill with a knife!"

Everyone nodded. Since Zhang Meiren was so special, if she wanted to get back the tortoise shell, she could take it back calmly at any time.A person like Tong Ling who only knows martial arts and has no common sense in life is really too easy to deceive.

But who knows that people are not as good as heaven, Tong Ling was arrested, Wei Chang ran away after knowing about it, he was outside the palace after all.

Zhang Meiren is from the inner palace. Early this morning, people from Kaifeng Mansion almost turned the inner palace upside down. She probably heard about it, but not many people knew about finding the turtle shell. Zhang Xie was probably afraid of it. Ye Chang had many dreams, so he wanted to come and take it away, so he made some dishes and prepared to see Concubine Pang.

But who would have thought that Zhao Pu and Gongsun pretended to quarrel in the yard, and the whole inner palace heard the throwing of the flower pots. The silver armor was collected.Unexpectedly, this fell into the trap of Gongsun and Zhao Pu.

"It's been a long time, and the internal fighting has failed, so we are a blessing in disguise." Gongsun shook his head.

"That's right." Zhan Zhao asked Wei Chang, "Apart from tortoise shells, what else are you looking for?"

Wei Chang replied, "I'm still looking for jade."

"Jade?" Everyone was puzzled, "What kind of jade are you looking for?"

"Well, I'm not sure about this. I didn't say whether it's a jade pendant or a jade plate or a jade pendant. In short, it's jade." Wei Changdao, "This jade is not ordinary jade. It is said that when it is roasted, a phoenix will appear. !"

Everyone stared at him.

"Really!" Wei Chang swore hastily, "I just want to save my life. I really don't hide it. It was Chen Xiu who asked us to find it. The people in Huofengtang looked for jade merchants everywhere, and they were also looking for this magical jade. Even Huofeng The jade pendants of the phoenix and the fire dragon are all made of this legendary jade."

Everyone frowned. This Chen Xiu seemed to be quite cautious. He ordered people to handle one thing without worrying about it, and secretly arranged two or three things. In addition, he would split one thing into two parts and give them to different people.

"Where did you find the tortoise shell?" Bai Yutang was very curious, why was there a tortoise shell in the palace, but Wang Dong couldn't find it?

"In the big treasury." Wei Changdao, "Zhang Xie later told me that it was the bank treasury."

"Bank?" Zhan Zhao looked curiously at Zhao Pu and Master Bao.

Zhao Pu understood, "Oh, usually gold, silver, jade and treasures are opened separately. In addition to going into the national treasury, gold and silver will also go into the treasury and silver treasury. Most of the gold and silver in the treasury and silver treasury are the homes of corrupt officials. Copied, this kind of treasury is collectively called the big treasury, which is equivalent to a backup of the national treasury. In case one day there is no money in the war, the gold and silver in this treasury can be taken out and recast into silver and gold bricks , then use it."

Lord Bao also nodded, "However, I have rarely fought against Fufu, so I have never used it, and many people don't even know the existence of this money bank."

After they got the clues, they returned to Kaifeng and imprisoned Wei Chang and Zhang Xie.

"Find jade!"

In the yard, everyone sat around again to discuss the case.

Now what confuses them the most is not the person behind the scenes or the ultimate intention, but... why is Chen Xiu going all out to find Yu?

"What kind of jade, a phoenix can fly out when the fire burns?" Zhao Pu pouted, leaning on a rattan couch and scratching his head.

Lin Yehuo lay down at the table and yawned, "It's not jade that changes color when it's not burned, but Chen Xiu and the others are not looking for purgatory and the ancient golden city to practice martial arts wholeheartedly? How come they turned into looking for jade again?"

Everyone was puzzled.

At this time, the kitchen aunt brought a large pot of seafood fried noodles with a few girls, "Don't you know you are hungry?"

Everyone was taken aback, smelling the fragrance of the noodles, they also knew they were hungry.

Even Pang Yu and Bao Yan in the study were smoked out, so hungry that they were lying on the table holding a plate and waiting for the lady in the kitchen to meet them.

In other words, since Bai Yutang came to Kaifeng mansion, the food level in Kaifeng has improved by leaps and bounds. It's not that the kitchen lady's skills have improved, but because the ingredients are really good, and the seafood alone has never stopped.

Xiaoyu and Xiaocui put a large plate of grouper together and put it on the table, while stalking Bai Yutang, "Fifth Master, what a big fresh grouper, this is only half of it, and the whole one is bigger than the table!"

Xiaocui also said, "We don't live by the sea, this is the first time we eat such a big fish, it's so fresh and tender."

Bai Yutang smiled at the two girls, Xiaoyu and Xiaocui were so dizzy, they followed the kitchen lady back to the kitchen.

Zhan Zhao chewed the fried noodles and took a look at Bai Yutang—a rat that attracts bees and butterflies.

Bai Yutang sat down, looked at him while eating fried noodles, and motioned him to look at his own bowl before looking at other people's bowls.

Zhan Zhao blinked, looked down, and found that he had the most fried noodles in his bowl, and also the most good things.

Everyone sighed silently—the lady in the kitchen really favors cute pets.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows at Zhan Zhao—to attract bees and cats!

Zhan Zhao picked up a chopstick of grouper meat and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and then he began to squint happily.

Bai Yutang stared at him for a while, then reached out and picked up a large piece, bringing it to his mouth.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Everyone ate the delicious food in silence, and watched Bai Yutang feed the cat on the spot, but after all, they had to thank Zhan Zhao, they were all fed by Bai Yutang when he was feeding the cat...

The fourth son puffed out his cheeks and chewed the fried noodles, looking at Gongsun and Zhao Pu who were eating beside them.

Zhao Pu doesn't eat fish, but fried noodles.

"Jiujiu, don't you like fish?" the fourth son asked.

Zhao Pu curled his lips, "Fish has bones, so it's troublesome to eat."

The fourth son smiled and said, "Ah, Jiujiu can't spit out fishbone, no wonder he doesn't eat fish."

Zhao Pu looked contemptuous, "If you eat too much fish, you won't gain weight, only thin people eat it..."

Before he finished speaking, he received two sharp gazes from Zhan Zhao and Gongsun.

Zhao Pu kept his mouth shut.

Gongsun stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his bowl, "The grouper has no bones, so eat it at ease."

"Are you a nerd, are you lying to me?" Zhao Pu squinted at Gongsun, full of disbelief.

Gongsun got angry, and thought he was treating it as a donkey's liver and lungs, he thought about it, reached out to pick up the piece of fish just now, and took a bite to show Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu stared at Gongsun's mouth chewing fish, and opened his mouth, "I want your piece!"

Gongsun glanced at him, "Cut yourself."

Zhao Pu leaned over, opened his mouth, and ate the half piece of fish that Gongsun hadn't had time to put into his mouth, and licked the chopsticks in Gongsun's hand by the way.

Gongsun reached out and knocked him on the head, "You are not allowed to lick chopsticks while eating, there is no rule!"

Zhao Pu smiled and chewed the fish, while the others sighed beside him——Gongsun is worthy of being a father, and the focus of attention is really different from that of ordinary people.

The fourth son obediently put another piece of fish in Zhao Pu's mouth, "Jiujiu, from now on, I'll give you all the fish without thorns."

Zhao Pu's heart was full of joy——Son is so good!

Gongsun glanced at the fourth son, and the fourth son quickly picked up another chopstick and put it in Gongsun's mouth.

Gongsun ate it and gave Zhao Pu a sideways look.

Zhao Pu winked at the fourth son, "I want more."

The fourth son picked it up again, Zhao Pu ate it, Gongsun wanted it, and the fourth son picked it up again, so the fourth son took a pair of chopsticks and took turns picking fish for the two fathers.

Finally, Xiao Liang couldn't stand it any longer. He pulled out the chopsticks of the fourth son and put them in the middle, then hugged the fourth son and gave him some fish to eat. He glanced at Zhao Pu and Gongsun and muttered, "You two like that Why don't you pick up the chopsticks by yourself, so I can't even eat Jin'er myself."

So...the crowd once again watched Gongsun and Zhao Pu grab chopsticks.

Lin Yehuo picked out the shiitake mushrooms and green peppers from his bowl with chopsticks and threw them into Zou Liang's bowl, saying, "Your marshal is not as mature as little four when he is not fighting."

Zou Liang looked at the green peppers and mushrooms in his bowl, stretched out his chopsticks, and grabbed the seafood and meat in Lin Yehuo's bowl.

"Ah!" Lin Yehuo grabbed the plate.

Zou Liang raised his eyebrows, "If you eat too much meat, you will get fat."

Lin Yehuo glared at him angrily, "You are the only one who is fat!"

Zou Liang was stunned, "I'm fat?"

"Your belly is full of flesh!" Lin Yehuo seemed to have finally thought of a way to fight back, and glanced at Zou Liang's waist, saying proudly.

"Where is the meat on my stomach?" Zou Liang looked down, thinking that I have six-pack abs, where did my stomach come from?

Lin Yehuo opened his eyes and spoke nonsense, and raised his face, "When the master came back, he hugged him all the way, of course he knew."

As he spoke, Long Qiaoguang and Ouyang Shaozheng asked him curiously, "Why are you hugging him?"

"Uh..." Lin Yehuo flattened his mouth, turned his face, and grabbed the seafood in Zou Liang's bowl, "You're so fat, I'll help you eat some..."

"Where do I have a stomach?!" Zou Liang grabbed Lin Yehuo's hand and let him touch his stomach, "You should grab a handful of meat for me to try!"

"Cause!" Lin Yehuo struggled, but Zou Liang grabbed him and pressed his belly, back and forth, and finally Lin Yehuo stopped earning at all, and felt whatever he wanted, without losing money.

But at this moment, Zou Liang was a little bit hard, so Lin Yehuo's hand... touched down a little...

"Ah ah!"

Everyone heard Lin Yehuo's sudden scream, grabbed his arms, jumped up, ran to wash his hands, and muttered something in his mouth, "I touched something dirty, my hands are going to rot!"

Everyone was so busy eating just now that they didn't pay attention to the movement here. They knew that the two of them were dragging around. What did Lin Yehuo touch?

"What did he touch?" Long Qiaoguang asked Zou Liang curiously.

Zou Liang coughed and signaled Long Qiaoguang to stop talking while eating, while he awkwardly held a bowl of fried noodles and stopped talking.

Grand Master Pang held the fried noodle bowl, looked at his son Pang Yu who was chatting with Bao Yan, and lightly touched Bao Zheng with his arm, "I said your Kaifeng mansion is lively enough."

But after talking, Bao Zheng didn't hear an answer.

The grand master turned his face curiously, and saw a black tiger face appearing in front of his eyes.

"Mom..." The Grand Master slid back and sat down on the ground.

Bao Zheng put aside the unfinished fried noodles just now, and let Xiao Wu eat. Xiao Wu was rolling the noodles with his tongue. When he saw the grand master rubbing against himself, he turned his face and looked, but unexpectedly, the grand master was sitting on the ground.

Master Bao also looked at the Grand Master on the ground, and asked, "Old Pang, what are you doing? Eat properly when you are old!"

Gongsun on the opposite side nodded - yes, eating rules are very important!

Grand Master Pang twitched the corners of his mouth and patted his chest, "My good fellow, I thought that Heizi had shown his true form."

"Pfft..." Suqing heard it, and suddenly "sprayed", but luckily held back.

Bao Zheng squinted at Taishi Pang, stretched out his hand, and poured Taishi's unfinished portion of noodles into Xiao Wu's bowl.

"Ah!" The grand master sat back and protested to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng glared at his belly, which meant—to lose weight!

Yinhou and Tianzun savored the grouper and drank the wine, and looked at the noisy people in the courtyard while eating, and couldn't help feeling... Oh, this is youth! We were alive and kicking like this 100 years ago.

……

Just at this time, Dynasty from outside ran in, "Xiao Liangzi, someone has come to your house."

Xiao Liang was slightly taken aback, then patted his head, "Ah! I guess my mother sent me a picture scroll."

Lin Yehuo also raised his head.

Everyone remembered now that when Lin Yehuo talked about his dream before, Xiao Liangzi said that he had seen it in one of his mother's scrolls, so Fei Ge sent a letter and asked his mother to send it over. The messenger from Wolf King Fort came running.

"Hurry up, please come in." Master Bao was quite embarrassed, "I made a special trip all the way."

After a while, I saw a woman running in from the outside, visually estimated to be in her forties, tall and thin, holding a black iron shovel in one hand, and a bundle in the other, she called, "Xiao Liangzi" when she entered the room.

"Ah!" Xiao Liang jumped up and rushed over, "Mother!"

The woman reached out and hugged Xiao Liang, "Do you want to be a mother?"

"Think about it!" Xiao Liang looked very affectionate as he hugged the woman.

All eyes were on the shovel in her hand.

"Hey." At this time, Ouyang couldn't help but said, "Isn't this the iron shovel lady Yuan Tianqing, but I haven't seen her for some years."

Zhao Pu also nodded.

After Yuan Tianqing put Xiao Liang down, he greeted Zhao Pu and the others.

This Yuan Tianqing is Xiaoliang's mother's sworn sister, even though she is a woman, with a shovel of great power, she is a fierce general of Wolf King Fort.Zhao Pu and the others knew her well, and they knew that she was not easy to mess with. At best, she was a heroine. At worst, she was like Xiao Liang's mother, one of the best female worms in Northwest China.

"Did you bring it yourself?" Lin Yehuo returned to the yard after washing his hands, and was taken aback when he saw Yuan Tianqing.

"I was there when my sister found this scroll. If you want to ask about the situation at that time, I can tell you about it." Yuan Tianqing patted Xiao Liang's head as he said, "My sister and brother-in-law may worry about this baby, Let me take a look, by the way..."

As he said that, Yuan Tianqing said to Xiao Liang, "Your mother is now, you are going to be an older brother."

"Really?!" Xiao Liang jumped up, "Male or female?"

"It should be a girl." Yuan Tianqing smiled, "Your father has been so beautiful these days, it reminds you to go home and see your sister's birth in half a year."

"Wow!" Xiao Liang jumped up in joy, grabbing the hand of the fourth son, "Jin'er, I have a younger sister!"

The fourth son was also happy for Xiao Liang.

Yuan Tianqing took aim at the fourth son at a glance, and said to himself——Oh, this doll is so pretty!

……

After eating, everyone spread out the scrolls to study.

Looking at the names on the scroll, everyone couldn't help laughing. The last time Xiao Liang said what it was "oven spectrum", everyone was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er. This time, after reading it, they understood it. It turned out to be "purgatory spectrum". !"

Zhao Pu looked at Xiao Liang with admiration, "Purgatory can be regarded as an oven, so don't learn Kung Fu from me every day, learn from Gongsun!"

Xiao Liang scratched his head in embarrassment.

Gongsun was a little surprised, he blinked, and Zhao Pu didn't call the bookworm Gongsun.

The fourth son nodded in satisfaction, just now he whispered to Zhao Pu not to be called a nerd anymore, his father didn't like to hear it, so Zhao Pu really changed his words.

Zhan Zhao spread out the scroll bit by bit to read, and sure enough, it was a picture of purgatory, and the scene in the picture was similar to that in Lin Yehuo's dream.

Everyone looked at Lin Yehuo.

Lin Yehuo stared at the picture for a long time, and was also surprised, "There are many places that overlap...Did I see this picture when I was a child?"

"Don't remember?" Zou Liang asked.

Lin Yehuo patted his head and shook his head, "I don't know."

"When people are too young, they will remember things they see, especially scary or strange things. In many cases, they will appear in dreams, and they will not be able to tell the truth from the fake." Gongsun said, "For example Some children were chased by dogs when they were young, so they are afraid of dogs, and they often dream of being chased by dogs.”

Lin Yehuo nodded, did he see this picture when he was a child?But the memory is more real.

"That's right." Bai Yutang asked Yuan Tianqing, "You said you had a special experience when you got this picture?"

"Yes!" Yuan Qingtian nodded, looked at Bai Yutang and then at Zhan Zhao, feeling, ah, this Central Plains man is really pretty!

"My sister and I found this scroll in a cave near an ancient tomb." Yuan Tianqing recalled, "It was probably evening, and we took a shortcut to the cliff, and my sister saw a cave in the middle of the opposite mountain wall. , there seemed to be an old man sitting vaguely inside. So the two of us went up to see if there was an old man trapped, or some high-level person lived there, and when we went in, we found that it was an old monk who had passed away."

"Monk?" Everyone was curious.

"That's right, that old monk is quite dignified. The strangest thing is that he is already dead, his bones don't rot, but his body is dry." Yuan Tianqing continued.

"The old monk sat like a meditator, holding this scroll with both hands."

Everyone felt weird, and then listened.

"My sister took out this scroll and opened it for a look. Both of us were startled, thinking what is this painting, it's so scary." Yuan Tianqing said, sighing, "At the same time, a gust of mountain wind blows, you Guess what?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"The old monk disappeared in an instant... A gust of wind blew him into ashes and swept him into the valley." Yuan Tianqing said with some emotion, "My sister thinks that she may have met a god or a high-ranking monk. Since there is a destiny, This scroll should be very important, so keep it carefully."

"It's really bizarre." Bao Zheng nodded.

"It's more than that." Yuan Tianqing said, taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket, "After the old monk was blown away, there was a line of words carved on the stone platform he was sitting on, which should be carved in with internal force. , engraved very deep, we copied it down at the time, it may be useful.”

Everyone hurried over to look at the paper, and saw a sentence written on the paper...

"If you want to enter purgatory, the fire and phoenix lead the way. The phoenix is ​​hidden in the jade, and you will see it when you meet the fire. If you enter without the phoenix, you will never recover. Remember, remember."
