Dragon Pattern Roll Set

When it was dawn the next day, the front of the Kaifeng mansion had been cleaned up, and the gongs clearing the way were at the front, but they were afraid of affecting the rest of the people in Kaifeng, so the gongs were put away first.

Behind the plaque of justice and integrity are Ouyang Shaozheng and a small cavalry team, and behind it are Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and his group of warriors on horseback, among them is Master Bao Pang Taishi, and a group of other horses and horses.Behind them are the five hundred yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion, and the three terrifying guillotines of Mr. Bao.Behind them are luggage carts and accompanying servants, most of whom are from Baifu and Xingkong Island.Finally, there was a thousand infantrymen from the Zhao family army led by Zou Liang.In addition, the shadow guards brought with them a hundred newly trained shadow troops, and the shadows were hidden around.

These one hundred shadow troops were trained by Zhao Pu when he was in Kaifeng Mansion. The first requirement to be a shadow guard is to be good at light work and smart.It's easy to find clever people from the Zhao family army, but lightness kung fu is good, it needs to be trained.

Zhao Pu discussed it with Yin Hou. Anyway, Yin Hou was very free, so he went to his barracks and picked out a hundred people with relatively good talent for light kung fu. He taught them a few moves, and the group of soldiers " fly" up.

Zhao Pu asked Tianzun again about the technique of "shadow escape", which is to teach the shadow guards how to hide without being discovered. Tianzun casually taught a few formulas to control the breath, so...the shadow team went through two months of training After that, it was reborn.

Zhao Pu assigned these 100 people to various shadow guards, and it was very convenient for them to be assistants.

The patrolling people were not in a hurry, after all, people outside of Kaifeng rarely had the chance to see Bao Qingtian, so they all took the opportunity to visit.

Mr. Bao went to inspect the yamen in every prefecture and county, and took a look at the local people's conditions. Just like that, everyone walked on the road for nearly a month.

On this day, everyone walked on the official road leading to Cheng County.The next stop in Chengxian County is Yingtianfu. Since Xuxian County and Hongyingzhai are both south of Yingtianfu, and it’s still early in the day, everyone is thinking, or don’t stay in Chengxian, go directly to Yingtianfu, maybe Get there before dark.

in the carriage.

Master Bao folded his arms and sighed.

Opposite him, the grand master, who has been vomiting and diarrhea for the past two days, is eating red bayberry with shochu specially made for him by Mr. Gongsun.

Not to mention, soaking this red bayberry in shochu is really effective in curing diarrhea

The grand master was eating very well, when Master Bao sighed, he raised his head, "I said Heizi, you sighed all the way, so what? Isn't the Qinhuai area very good? The weather is smooth and rich. Look at the people here one or two White and fat."

"It's so good that it's strange," Mr. Bao crossed his arms, "I know that the Qinhuai area is rich, but just being rich doesn't mean there are no cases of injustice. You said that I used to encounter cases of stopping sedan chairs and suing injustice when I traveled in Kaifeng. I am going on a tour with great fanfare. Why is no one stopping?"

The grand master was speechless, Mr. Bao was entangled with those who did not complain.

"Tell me, is it possible that the local people knew that I was coming, so they sent people to take away those people who had grievances?" Mr. Bao said with a straight face.

The grand master was powerless, "You also know how many shadow guards the lord has brought here, there are shadow guards in all directions, someone dares to rob those who block the sedan chair? Don't you want to live?"

Master Bao stroked his beard, "Is there really no case of injustice?"

The grand master laughed, "Who doesn't know that you Bao Zheng are powerful, those local officials have already investigated the case, and they are waiting for you to come? Didn't you see that the officials along the way treated you like a plague god?"

Master Bao rolled his eyes at him, opened the car curtain and looked out.

Beside the carriage, it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, they were riding their horses, chatting about something while walking.

Lord Bao asked, "Guard Zhan, how far are we from Cheng County?"

"My lord, we'll be there in about half an hour." Zhan Zhao replied.

In front, Ouyang Shaozheng ran over and asked, "Master Bao, shall we stop in Cheng County? If we stop, I'll take someone to check it out first, and if we don't stop, we'll pass right through."

Master Bao thought for a while, then nodded, "Let's stop for a while, we stopped at every place before, and this one is not bad, at worst, we will arrive at Yingtian Mansion later."

Ouyang nodded, and with a dozen elite soldiers and a group of shadow guards, they left the team and rushed to Cheng County.

As soon as Ouyang left, in the big black carriage behind Mr. Bao and his carriage, the curtain of the carriage was raised, and Zhao Pu walked out with two children, Xiao Liang and Xiao Sizi, stretched their waists, and then beat him. One yawn, one big and two small movements in unison, as if they just woke up from sleep.

Everyone looked at the time approaching noon and was a little puzzled.

Gongsun Ce, who was riding a little donkey right in front of the carriage, looked helplessly at the two of them, and said to Zhan Zhao, who came to inquire out of curiosity, "The three of them played guessing games all night last night, and they didn't sleep until dawn."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched——Zhao Pu is boring enough, he can play with Xiaosizi and Xiaoliangzi all night.

"Guess what?" Bai Yutang was curious. Isn't guessing a game for drinking and playing?

"That guy actually taught the fourth son how to make wine, what is the order of seven tigers sticking chickens and insects, but he uses sweet wine instead of wine." Gongsun said helplessly, "He said that if you teach it early, you will suffer later."

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, the marshal Zhao Pu was quite serious.

Zhao Pu was stretching, when he felt someone tugged at the hem of his clothes, he staggered so as not to fall off the carriage, turned his face to look, and said to himself that he was dragging my father desperately, and saw a black big horse face appearing in sight.

The corner of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, and Hei Xiao was staring at him, which seemed to mean——Zhao Pu's family is riding horses, but you are riding in a car?Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and patted Hei Xiao to comfort him, "It's alright, alright, let's run for a while."

Hei Xiao immediately snorted and flicked his mane, which meant—quickly

Zhao Pu got on his horse, and Hei Xiao rushed out before he could shake the rein.

At the same time that Hei Xiao rushed out, everyone heard a tiger roar in the carriage behind Xiao Si, and Xiao Wu jumped out with a tiger leap, and also ran out.

Zhan Zhao called from behind, "Xiao Wu, don't scare people!"

Xiao Wu yelled as if to respond, and at the same time followed Hei Xiao to the front of the team.

This section of the official road is very straight and long, and there are no pedestrians. They ran forward sloppily, and when they ran to the point where they could hardly see the shadow, suddenly, everyone heard Hei Xiao let out a long hiss, Xiao Wu I also yelled, and heard a "crash", as if something fell into the puddle.

Everyone was surprised.

Master Bao looked out, "Did you hit something?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang jumped off their horses and chased them out with light kung fu... The shadow guards also hurriedly followed.

When the two got close, they saw Zhao Pu patting Hei Xiao's neck.

Hei Xiao paced back and forth on the spot, with two drag marks on his feet, it seemed that he had braked suddenly here.

But Zhan Zhao didn't see Xiao Wu, and asked Zhao Pu in surprise, "Where is Xiao Wu?"

Zhao Pu pointed to the field beside him.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced around and saw rice fields on both sides of the official road, Xiao Wu rolled in the rice fields for some reason, okay, his whole body was wet, like a big mud cat.

Xiao Wu got up from the muddy water and shook his mane. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw that it was holding something in its mouth. It looked like a basket, but it wasn't wet with muddy water.

Xiao Wu jumped onto the shore, put the thing in his mouth on the ground in front of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and stepped aside to continue shaking his hair.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw that it was indeed a basket, and there was something stuffed in it. They were about to squat down to have a look, when they heard a "wow".

The two were startled, Hei Xiao also took two steps back, and there was a cry of a baby in the basket.

Zhao Pu said, "When I ran here just now, there was a baby in a basket in the middle of the road. Hei Xiao almost stepped on it. I saw that it was too late to pull the rein. Fortunately, Xiao Wu jumped up and snatched the basket away, but it I ran too fast and couldn't stop, and if I stopped, I would hit Hei Xiao, so I fell directly into the field."

Zhan Zhao nodded, patted Xiao Wu's head and praised it for being cute.

Bai Yutang squatted down, and opened the somewhat messy blanket in the basket, and saw under the blanket, a baby who looked almost one year old was crying.

"It's so small." Zhan Zhao also came over to look at it, "Why did you leave it by the side of the road?"

"It's in the middle of the road." Zhao Pu said, looking around on his horse. "Who is so wicked to put a child in the middle of the road? If the carriage passes by without seeing it, he will be run over to death."

Zhan Zhao also went up the tree to look around, but judging from the fact that Xiao Wu was sitting calmly on the ground and licking his fur—there were no other people around, was it an abandoned baby?

Seeing the child crying endlessly, Bai Yutang stretched out his arms to pick him up and held him up to his eyes.

The child looked at Bai Yutang, but stopped crying.

Zhan Zhao leaned over and took a closer look, "It's so cute."

Bai Yutang also nodded. This baby is white and fat, with big eyes and round face. Looking at his clothes, he should be taken good care of, not like an abandoned baby.

"Male and female?" Zhao Pu also got off his horse and came over to ask.

Three big men stared at a child and were studying it. Suddenly, the doll moved in Bai Yutang's hands, and then "wow".

Bai Yutang subconsciously pushed the child to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao held it, but the child was still crying, so Zhan Zhao handed it to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was startled, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him - aren't you the king of children?After finishing him, Zhao Pu hurriedly put the child back in the basket, but he still kept crying.

"Oh, you guys, don't be so rude"

Later, Master Bao and his team arrived. Pang Yu ran down from the carriage, ran over to pick up the child, shook and patted the child, and coaxed the baby a few times. The baby stopped crying. He was used to coaxing Xiangxiang and was already very experienced. .

Mr. Bao also got out of the carriage, and the female relatives behind him also got down.

Chen Xing'er ran over with a small blanket, picked up the child from Pang Yu's hand, hugged it and examined it, "It's a boy."

"There seems to be something in my bosom." Yue Yue'er stretched out her hand and took out a letter from the doll's bosom.

Zhan Zhao received the letter, opened it, and everyone gathered to read it.

The general content of the letter was that the child was called Hong Lu, who was just one year old, and because the time of birth was very unknown, he was judged by Immortal Liu as the reincarnation of a monster.The child's parents were very superstitious, so they handed over the child to the old slave at home to bring him out and bury him alive.It was the old housekeeper who wrote this letter. He couldn't bear to do anything, so he left the child on the official road, hoping that kind people would raise the child.

After reading "Ridiculous," Zhan Zhao looked at the fat doll, "I'm sick, such a cute doll was thrown away because of someone else's words."

"No one wants to leave it to me, let me keep it," Pang Yu said.

The grand master just got out of the car, and leaned over to look, "Oh? No one wants the child? I want it"

Everyone was speechless. The grand master and Pang Yu probably missed Xiangxiang so much that they wanted the child when they saw it.

"The Immortal Liu mentioned in this letter." Bai Yutang said, "Looks like a charlatan."

Gongsun squinted his eyes to check the child's pulse, and said, "This kind of liar is the most abominable and harmful to people. Of course, the even more abominable thing is the child's parents. They don't know what to say."

Lord Bao nodded, "According to the inference in the letter, this Liu Xianren is quite influential. He can make a family abandon their children, and he can also make another family kill infants. You must not stay."

"Zhe Ying." Zhao Pu called out.

"My lord."

Zhe Ying and Zi Ying fell down.

"Take someone to find out who that Liu Xianren is."

"Yes" the two disappeared with a group of shadow guards.

Mrs. Bao ordered someone to collect the basket, and the child was handed over to the female relatives to take care of them, and they continued on their way.

Zhan Zhao saw that Xiao Wu's body was covered in mud, and that he might lose money if he trampled on the farmland, so he said to take Xiao Wu around, find water to wash it off, and inquire about it by the way.

Master Bao nodded, and said, "Be careful."

So, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took Xiao Wu along the ridge of the field and walked for a while. Sure enough, they saw smoke from several farmhouses in the distance, and there was a small village in front of them.

Entering the village, an old farmer just came out with a hoe on his shoulder. Seeing Xiao Wu was startled, Zhan Zhao hurried forward to explain a few words. The old farmer was very happy, "Oh, the people in Kaifeng are different. They come to lose money after trampling on a few seedlings, haha."

The old farmer didn't want Zhan Zhao's money, and said, "If the rice is crooked, just straighten it up, it's fine."

Afterwards, he took Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to his fish pond, Xiao Wu jumped down and swam a few laps, the mud on his body was washed clean, and a big black fish came up in his mouth.

Xiao Wu ate fish by the river and dried his hair while Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat on the side of the road drinking tea with the old farmer.

Zhan Zhao intentionally asked about Liu Xianren.

The old farmer frowned, "Oh... Liu Xianren, what did he do this time? Did someone throw away the child or strangle his wife?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and told the old man about the child they picked up on the side of the road just now, the old farmer sneered and shook his head, "That dead Taoist priest will not end well if he did the crime."

Zhan Zhao asked the old farmer to explain in detail, and the old farmer was very happy, "Master Zhan, is Master Bao going to deal with that liar? Hurry up, give him a try on that dog's head."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "As long as the evidence is convincing, he won't be spared."

"Very good, very good." The old man nodded, and told Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang something about that Immortal Liu.

This Liu Xianren came to Cheng County half a year ago. He claimed to be a genius doctor or a fortune teller. People in Cheng County liked him very much, even Yingtian Mansion had many people come to ask him to see a doctor.But this person is not only seeing a doctor, but also telling fortunes, doing some sorcery and sorcery to confuse people's hearts.Soon, more and more people believed in him. Many of them killed their wives and children after he returned home with one word, and their families were ruined.In short, he lived in Chengxian County for half a year, and half of the people in Chengxian County went crazy. It is said that the people in Chengxian County are now divided into two groups. One group firmly believes in him. He is a fairy.And the other group, just like this old farmer, firmly do not believe his nonsense, thinking that he is a liar who seeks money and murder, but they are often harassed by his followers.

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang roughly understood the whole story.

Zhan Zhao was curious and asked, "Uncle, why are they harassing you?"

The old farmer got angry, "This group of people follow that liar all day long to worship the god of birds. They have different tricks every day. One day they say that they can't eat whole grains, and the next they say that what grows in the mud is filth, and they want to eat flying birds and birdseed. Those who don't touch the ground, so a group of lunatics catch birds and pick fruits to eat everywhere, and even make trouble in my field, saying that they are here to save me, and people like me will die sooner or later when they are facing 'filth' all day long."

The corners of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's mouths twitched.

Bai Yutang asked the old farmer, "How did you solve it?"

"Most of the people in our village didn't believe it. They chased them with hoes and beat them. Those who believed in that liar were mostly dignitaries or rich gentry. That's right. We are all poor farmers. Where can we have money for him to cheat? ah."

Zhan Zhao asked the old farmer, "What does Immortal Liu look like? Where does he live?"

"He lives in Cheng County, and everyone in Cheng County knows where he lives, just ask." The old farmer said, pointing to his head, "This man, there is another very obvious feature, that is, a gray hair. hair"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, "Are you very old?"

"Looks like 50 years old."

"By the way." Bai Yutang asked, "What bird god did you say they worship?"

Zhan Zhao blinked—oh?Isn't it swearing?

The old man said, "Oh, I saw it once. A large group of them worshiped a god, half human and half bird, so we all joked that they worshiped the bird god."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - from the description, could it be that Xie Yu was worshiping?

At this time, Xiao Wu finished eating the fish, and came back to rub Zhan Zhao, licking his mouth.

Zhan Zhao touched it and saw that its fur was not so wet, so he hugged it and rubbed it with his internal force for a while, Xiao Wu flicked his fur again, his black fur was fluffy and warm.

"Hey!" The old farmer stroked Xiao Wu's hair bravely, "You are so amazing, Mr. Zhan, you can also open a shop to deceive people like that Immortal Liu."

Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly, and stood up with Bai Yutang to leave.The old farmer didn't make him lose money, and he didn't ask them for tea money. He even said that he asked for the fish that Xiao Wu ate.

So, before leaving, Bai Yutang asked him, "Do you have any request?"

The old farmer nodded, and said seriously, "Kill that liar, this is a disaster."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded in agreement, leaving the old farmer behind.

The two rushed to Cheng County.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "What do you have to believe so that you will throw away all your own children?"

Bai Yutang sneered, "It seems that it's not as simple as an ordinary liar. Didn't you hear what the Grand Master said, there were millions of followers of Xie Yu back then, and all of them were crazy."

"Well, there is a reason for a person to believe in something, and no emotion will arise for no reason." Zhan Zhao shook his head, took two steps, then stopped suddenly, and looked back.

Bai Yutang also stopped, looking back, Xiao Wu walked up to the two of them, looked at the forest in the distance, and then turned to look at the two of them.

Bai Yutang relaxed his slightly frowned brows, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Someone followed us in the forest just now."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Well, I'm quite careful, I've already escaped."

Bai Yutang turned around to continue walking, but Zhan Zhao still looked at the forest.

"Cat?" Bai Yutang called him.

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao turned around.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"Uh...it's nothing, I'm curious who is following us." After Zhan Zhao answered, he walked away with Bai Yutang, frowning as he walked - just before he felt that someone was following him, he received that venomous look again.

So far, Zhan Zhao has received this kind of gaze three times in total. The first time was when Bai Yutang and the others went to Kubei Temple to look for Xuan Ning, the second time was to worship Qu Zhongyuan at Qingzhu Mountain, and the third time was the same as before. Good intentions, and... it seems that every time he appears, he is with Bai Yutang.
