Dragon Pattern Roll Set

The corpses of Jin Shan and Zhai Hua were carried back to Kaifeng Mansion. At this time, Dynasty Ma Han, who went to investigate Zhai Hua's identity, also came back.

Zhai Hua's house is not in Kaifeng, he opened a martial arts gym in Yingtian Mansion, and the business is quite big.He happened to come to Kaifeng for business these few days, so he lived in the Fenglai Inn.The clerk at the inn said that Zhai Hua hurried out with a bag just now, as if he had something to do.

"Is he carrying a burden?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "But the old Jin family house has no burden."

Ma Han nodded, "According to the time calculation, he should have gone directly to the Jin family's old house after leaving the inn, and he didn't have time to go to other places on the way."

"So someone killed him and took his baggage?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao nodded lightly, "This possibility is quite high."

Zhao Hu was quite clever, and asked the guy to describe the shape and size of the package. The guy said that it looked like a rectangular box inside.

Zhan Zhao patted his head. Now when he heard the box, he instinctively wondered whether it was used to hold scrolls, but it would be preconceived if he guessed randomly without any evidence, so he stopped for now.

The two went to the yard.

At this time, there were many people in front of Wu Zuo's room, and the shadow guards were standing beside the coffin carrying Jin Shan's body.

When Bai Yutang walked to the side of the coffin, he saw that the mechanism of the coffin had been opened.

"Apart from you, does anyone else know how to do this?" Ouyang asked.

Bai Yutang said, "Except for me, no one knows this method, but if you don't know my method, you can open the lid, for example... the person who puts Jin Shan in it and sets the number of rotations."

Everyone frowned.

"It's a bit strange." Master Bao also came over, "Jin Shan's body seems to have been buried not long ago. We knew that we Zha Jin's old house, didn't we send the body to Kaifeng mansion on purpose? What's the plan?"

"And it's such a coincidence that I met Pang Yu again tonight." Zhao Pu said, "If it was Tianzun who got up at night, wouldn't he be frozen directly?"

"It's really too risky!" Zhan Zhao said, "Unless..."

"Maybe it was a temporary idea." Bai Yutang said, and suddenly groped around the bottom of the coffin, finally found something like a mechanism, pressed it a few times, and then... the whole coffin was split in two from the middle , the upper floor was moved a little to the side, revealing a space for one person to enter and exit, but it turned out to be empty inside.

Everyone stared at the coffin, stunned.

"This coffin has two layers!" Lin Yehuo was surprised, "When this coffin was brought in, there were two people inside?"

"But the coffin was dug directly out of the ground!" Bao Yan felt inconceivable, "If there were people inside, wouldn't they be buried alive in the ground? If we didn't go there for a long time, wouldn't they be suffocated to death?"

Everyone also thinks this is the case.

"It shouldn't be there from the beginning, that would be too risky." Zhan Zhao said, "Who knows if pressing Yutang back and forth will open the next floor?"

"So he sneaked in and hid later?" Zhao Pu thought for a while, "There was a person who sneaked into the Kaifeng Mansion without anyone noticing, opened the bottom layer of the coffin, hid in, and just now, he first took Jin Shan's The corpse was moved away and placed in the old house of the Jin family, and then came back to lie where Jin Shan had been lying before. When Pang Yu got up at night, he crawled out again, ran to kill Zhai Hua and stole his baggage, and then disappeared? "

Everyone frowned and thought, this really seems... a bit outrageous

"What's the purpose of doing this?" Zou Liang couldn't help asking, "Besides, how much internal strength is required to enter without anyone noticing and then go out without anyone noticing, carrying the corpse?"

Everyone scratched their chins and couldn't figure it out, if they were the only ones here, then they might be able to do it if they were a master, but in the other courtyard lived Yinhou, Tianzun, Master Wusha, Wu Yifu, Hong Jiuniang and Granny Heishui!Who has the ability to go in and out under the noses of these seven masters?And if you really have this ability, why hide?

Everyone thought about it one head and two big. Bao Zheng saw that it was almost dawn, so he told everyone to go to rest for a while, get enough energy and think about it tomorrow, don't go into a dead end.

……

The next morning.

Bai Yutang woke up amid a burst of laughter, sat up, and saw that the bed opposite Zhan Zhao was not there, and in the yard were the laughter of Xiaosizi and Xiaoliangzi.

Bai Yutang shook his head. Weird and horrifying cases have always happened in Kaifeng Mansion. Zhan Zhao probably opened his eyes to investigate the case when he was alone before. After listening to the hearty laughter of the children over this series of confusing murders, the mood is indeed not so heavy.

When Fifth Master walked out of the room, he saw that today was a sunny day, the sun was shining brightly, and in the yard, Xiao Sizi, Xiao Liangzi and Zhan Zhao were playing with the little pony.The longer the pony is, the more energetic it is. Yan Bi is worthy of being an idiot, and he takes good care of it!Looking at the little pony with white hair like clouds and red hair like fire in the sun, like a cloud on fire, bouncing around and playing with Xiao Sizi and the others, it made people feel better.

Zhan Zhao was holding a pair of chopsticks with a fried dumpling in his hands, but he couldn't sit still, so he stood in the middle of the courtyard and teased Xiao Ma while eating.

At the side table, everyone who got up early was eating snacks.

Today, I don’t know why the back kitchen made so many fried dumplings. Everyone was dipping them in vinegar and eating them. There was a smell of sour vinegar mixed with garlic.

The fifth master looked up at the sky - such a heavy mouth early in the morning?

Walking to the stone table and sitting down, Chen Xing'er made a few fried dumplings for Bai Yutang, poured a small dish of vinegar, and went to serve him bean curd.

Bai Yutang picked up a dumpling and smelled it, then looked at Chen Xing'er, "Did you kill the garlic seller?"

Lin Yehuo also pinched his nose and crouched in the distance, refusing to come over, "Bai Wu! Sure enough, only your sense of taste is normal! Those people are too careless!"

Bai Yutang looked at it, except for Lin Yehuo who refused to eat it desperately, the others were also eating happily.

Tianzun poked Bai Yutang, "Eating some garlic once in a while is good for your health."

Especially Pang Yu, who ate so attentively that he ate more than a dozen of them.

Bao Yan looked at him helplessly.

Zhan Zhao came back, sat down at the table, and said to Bai Yutang, "This is sent by Pang's mansion. It's made by a good cook. Don't worry about adding too much garlic, it tastes good!"

Everyone nodded and said that it was delicious.

Bai Yutang was puzzled, who didn't know that the cooks of the Pang Mansion could catch up with the imperial cooks, but why did they make such heavy-tasting dumplings?

Zhan Zhao blinked at Bai Yutang, "Last night the grand master heard that Pang Yu had bumped into a zombie, and he was terrified. His nine mothers got up overnight to chop garlic and ask the cook to make dumplings. It is said that people who ate garlic had blood Wei'er, this smell is the most annoying to zombies, they won't bite!"

Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, it was not easy for Pang Yu's parents and nine mothers.

Lin Yehuo hopped over, only willing to drink soy milk but not garlic, Chen Xing'er picked some for him, he said that the handsome guy would be laughed at if he smelled garlic!

Everyone couldn't do anything about him, so Yue Ya'er thought about buying him something else, but Zou Liangliang said, "I heard that the skin of a zombie will rot if you touch it, and it will be cured if you eat garlic."

Lin Yehuo leaned against him for a while, then reached out to pick up the dumplings with chopsticks.

Master Wusha nodded at the side—hmm!As long as someone can hold him down, that's fine!

So in the end Bai Yutang was left refusing to eat.

Everyone knew that it was impossible to coax Bai Yutang to eat garlic-flavored dumplings like he coaxed Lin Yehuo.

Tianzun looked at Zhan Zhao, what does that mean - can you keep this mouse down?Tell me to see and see.

Zhan Zhao blinked, pushed the plate of fried dumplings towards Bai Yutang, and said, "Garlic repels bugs. It is said that no bugs will come near you after eating one bite for a year!"

Wu Ye picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dumplings without hesitation.

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao with raised eyebrows—he really is a ruthless character!

The fourth son obediently took out a bag of mint candy from the small purse and distributed it to everyone. After eating the dumplings, the candy would lose its taste.

Just then, someone came outside.

Ge Qing, Zhao Lan, Ouyang Chunhua, and Wang Qi came together. Zhao Lan and the others probably heard about it from Ge Qing that the young master had a ghost again last night, so they all came over to ask questions.

Zhao Lan also said that Concubine Pang was thinking of finding a dancing god to exorcise evil spirits, which is too unlucky!

Looking at these idlers, Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, "Didn't Taixue start classes tomorrow? Why are you here? Are you studying?"

"I'm going out today!" Zhao Lan said happily.

While talking, Yiyi also came running outside, chatting with Zhao Lanni about competitions and the like.

Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Lan, "You were almost kidnapped two days ago, and the emperor is willing to let you go out?"

"Don't be afraid!" Zhao Lan smiled, "Brother Huang is going too."

Everyone was stunned.

"What?" Ouyang Shaozheng's hair was blown up, isn't Zhao Zhen going out of the palace?

Zhao Lan pointed to the door.

At this moment, Nangong came in, behind him was Zhao Zhen, who was waving a fan and dressed in casual clothes, looking like an ordinary Wen Sheng.

Everyone looked up at the sky, especially Huo Qilin.

Naturally, Zhao Zhen had the Imperial City Army responsible for his safety when he went on tour. He also wore casual clothes, so he had to arrange manpower besides the Ouchi guards. Why didn't he say it earlier?When you are busy.

Master Bao got up, but Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Excuse me, excuse me, I am leaving the palace in low clothes."

Everyone sighed, Zhao Zhen was in high spirits early in the morning, probably nothing good happened.

"Your Majesty... just bring this few people?" Bao Zheng looked at Nangong Ji who was the only one behind Zhao Zhen, and frowned.

"There is Yinhou and Tianzun walking together." Zhao Zhen smiled.

Granny Heishui and Hong Jiuniang also said they would go together, and Jiuniang even grabbed Wu Yifu.

The sick scholar looked at her puzzled.

Jiu Niang said, "This sick bag will go too."

Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, and asked Wang Qi, "Where are you going?"

Wang Qi blinked, "Don't you know?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang was also puzzled, "Know what?"

"Today, the three sons of Kaifeng have an appointment with the three great talents in the south of the Yangtze River!" Bao Yandao, "It is said that it is the pre-battle of the competition of the four courtyards!"

Lord Bao frowned, "What is the third son of Kaifeng?"

"It's from Qiankun Academy." Pang Yu waved his hand, "It's just sealed by myself, but it's quite arrogant."

"Where are they competing?" Master Bao was dissatisfied, "Is this kind of competition allowed?"

Zhao Zhen fanned Ai Qing with his fan, signaling - don't be so serious!Literati are not martial students, and martial arts students are not allowed to fight privately, and there is no law that says that literati are not allowed to compare words and pictures, right?

Pang Yu shook his head, "Hey, these scholars are so narrow-minded! The contestants still care about winning or losing. Since the news of the competition in the Fourth Court came out, they have gone crazy. Various competitions come out one after another. Isn't there a A big garden for drinking tea, is it called Baekje Garden?"

Master Bao nodded. Baekje Garden is the largest tea garden in Kaifeng. It is a large courtyard with several teahouses, pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. It is very elegant and large in scale.The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and there were many scholars, and the place was next to the most prosperous book market and painting market on East Street. Scholars from all over the world gathered in this courtyard every day, and naturally many students from various colleges also went there.

"I don't know who initiated it. I guess it's people from the tea garden who want to take the opportunity to do business!" Pang Yu continued, "There are several important competitions every day, and then many people watch, and gradually it becomes a scale. But today The competition between the Kaifeng Sanzi and the Jiangnan Three Talents is the most important event. Let’s not mention the Kaifeng Three Talents for the time being. The Jiangnan Three Talents are well-known for their real materials. A direct confrontation with Qiankun Academy. The competition between the four major academies is simply Taixue vs. Qiankun Academy. All the major gambling houses are waiting. When the time comes, the betting market will be turned upside down! So winning or losing today's competition is very important! You have to get a seat early, or you will be squeezed out of the crowd!"

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen shook his fan and smiled, what does that mean - what kind of emperor should I be if I don't join in the excitement?

Zhan Zhao has been busy investigating the case for the past few days, so it has nothing to do with other things, but he also wants to go and have a look. It sounds quite interesting.

Master Bao also thought about it.

Zhao Zhen waved his hands, "Oh... Bao Qing can't go."

Mr. Bao was puzzled—why?At any rate, this residence is a scholar of the Longtu Pavilion!

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I'm going to go on tour in a subdued manner, isn't Bao Qing going to be exposed!"

Everyone silently glanced at Mr. Bao, that is - this charcoal face, who doesn't know that you are Bao Qingtian, it's useless to wear anything, it's hard to cover your face, even if your face is covered, your hands can't be blocked ah.

Master Bao was depressed.

Gongsun also understood that the fourth son got up early in the morning today, and specially found a scholar's little hat to wear, and he dared to join in the fun.

"Are you going too?" Zhao Pu asked the fourth son.

The fourth son nodded, and pointed to Yin Hou and Tianzun, what does that mean——the three of them are in charge of this four court competition, knowing each other and knowing each other!Go check out the enemy's situation first!

Lin Yehuo also wanted to go, and Zou Liang was also interested. Long Qiaoguang saw that his idol was going, so he went too. After a group of people, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were left to continue investigating the case, and they didn't know where. It's better to start checking, so we can only go to Zhai Hua's inn first.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "If you're interested, go and watch it. I'll take Wang Chao Mahan to investigate Di Hua."

Just as Bai Yutang was about to shake his head, Master Bao said, "Guard Zhan might as well go and have a look."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bao Zheng.

Master Bao stroked his beard, "The competition of the four courts has something to do with this case. The Fenglai Inn is also in the east of the city. You should stop by to have a look. There are naturally clues in crowded places, and you may find something else." , If you can’t find it, it’s not too late to continue investigating the case, and you won’t waste time.”

Zhan Zhao nodded in agreement.

Yin Hou stroked his chin in satisfaction—look!Master Bao will hurt people!

Zhao Zhen was also very interested in the fried dumplings on the table. He inquired about the zombies, tasted the cooking skills of Pang's cook, went to visit Jin Shan's corpse, and even looked at the coffin.It is harder for Zhao Zhen to leave the palace than Zhao Lan, and today he is released. In addition to going to the east of the city to watch the competition, he also has to visit the Taixue and the old house of the Jin family, and pay his respects to the three-headed Jintuo, by the way Taibaiju has a meal, packs a few good dishes for his daughter and concubine, and has a full schedule.

Everyone raised their foreheads, Zhao Zhen is trying his best to prepare for a day trip to Kaifeng...

After breakfast, everyone went out early.

At the door, I met Lin Fuzi and Lin Xiao, who obviously made an appointment with Zhao Zhen to go together.In order to avoid being squeezed out of the crowd, Zhan Zhao also brought Xiao Wu with him, so... a mighty group of people rushed to the east of the city!
