Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ran back to the Bai Mansion to avoid the limelight.

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Fule ran over and said, "Master, Master."

Bai Yutang nodded to him, "It's just in time, hurry up and find some antiques."

The corner of Bai Fu's mouth twitched, "Master, are you making Tianzun angry again?"

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky.

Zhan Zhao also sighed at the side - what a careless word!By the way, think about whether you want to prepare something to make Tianzun happy.

Bai Fu turned to look for antiques, but turned around and came back, patting his head, "Almost forgot, young master, that gold bracelet is finished."

Bai Yutang was stunned, "So fast?"

Bai Fu nodded, "Yeah, Lao Chen didn't see anyone, his apprentice took over the job, alas, that kid might have done it!"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows.

Bai Fu took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang opened the brocade box, and Zhan Zhao also leaned over to take a look, and saw that there was indeed a delicate and gorgeous gold bracelet lying in the brocade box, this was a bracelet that he had never seen in any gold shop.

"Excellent workmanship!" Zhan Zhao picked it up, looked at the sun, and couldn't help admiring, "Old Chen, this apprentice is very reliable."

Bai Yutang also nodded.

"The manual cost is not cheap, is it?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"No cash."

When Bai Fu said a word, Bai Yutang was stunned.

Zhan Zhao didn't understand, "You don't get paid for free work?"

Bai Yutang frowned, "There is no such rule."

Bai Fu said, "I said the same thing, but he refused to take it if I gave it to him. He said that when he was free, he wanted to invite the young master and Mr. Zhan to dinner."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is there such a good thing? You don't charge money for doing the work and treat guests to dinner?"

Bai Yutang frowned, "Didn't this little apprentice say that he has a withdrawn personality?"

Bai Fu nodded, "No, I also find it strange that he told me that when you are free, he has something to ask."

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What do you ask for advice?"

"That's right." Zhan Zhao was also curious, "Not only looking for Yutang, but also for me?"

"Actually, I'm mainly looking for Mr. Zhan." Bai Fu said, "I was also afraid of causing trouble, so I asked very carefully. It's like this. He said that there was a strange case that troubled him for many years. He heard that Kaifeng Mansion had solved countless cases, so he wanted to surrender. , When you are free, we will talk about it in detail."

Zhan Zhao was relieved, there would be no problem if he was investigating the case, but he was puzzled, "Well, he is not in a hurry? Tell him to go to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case first."

Bai Fu crossed his arms, "I said the same thing, but he said that it wasn't him who was the victim, nor his friend, but that he discovered a very strange thing. He thought it might be a strange case. Maybe it's a case of investigation, isn't it?" He thought too much about the case, so he wanted to talk first, it would be even better if he could go to Kaifeng Mansion, the place can be decided by you two."

"Oh." Zhan Zhao nodded and thought for a while, "Lin Miao's affairs are left to deal with. I'll send someone to invite him when we're done."

Bai Fu nodded, and asked his servants to give a message to the little apprentice.

……

while having dinner.

The shadow guards came to take the message of the fourth son, telling them not to worry, Tianzun has already coaxed them, and now everyone is having dinner in Taibaiju, let them go too.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, it's the fourth son who is at the critical moment!I really don't hurt him in vain!

The two left the White Mansion and went to Taibai Residence.

The elegant room on the third floor of Taibai Residence was already full of people. Yin Lanci and Lu Xueer invited guests, and everyone had dinner together.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened the door and went in, only to see that commotion... The two looked at each other, unknowingly, there were already so many people in Kaifeng Mansion!

The fourth son stood on the stool and waved to them. There were two empty seats beside Tianzun and Yinhou.

Bai Yutang bit the bullet and went over, Zhan Zhao hid behind him, wanting to see the situation before talking.

But Tianzun seems to be in a good mood and is drinking.

Bai Yutang sat beside him and poured him wine.

Tianzun glanced at him and continued to drink, Fifth Master heaved a sigh of relief - it seemed that he was really not angry.

Zhan Zhao also sat down and poured wine for his grandfather. By the way, he searched all over the table, and saw Wu Yifu sitting opposite him drinking, and a small table behind him was full of women. It's much more lively than this table over here.

Gongsun poked Zhan Zhao, "Yanwei and those experts from the leftist faction have all been recruited. The emperor just issued an order saying that the crimes of the leftist faction are unforgivable, and they will be executed."

Zhan Zhao blinked, "Already slaughtered?"

Gongsun nodded, "Yes!"

Bai Yutang also lamented that Nightmare Tai had dominated the martial arts world for many years, so his death is really light as a feather...Anyway, he deserved what he deserved, maybe the retribution came too late.

"But Xie Yiting and the others were all killed by Lin Miao." Gongsun said, glanced at Wu Yifu across the way, and said to Zhan Zhao, "The case of the Jin family is still closed. He was responsible for the murders. Considering the situation of the Jin family brothers and sisters, they probably don't have to suffer any imprisonment, and a light punishment is enough, but Lin Miao will be arrested and brought to justice."

"Lin Miao is seriously ill and won't live for half a year," Bai Yutang reminded.

"That's why Prime Minister Bao didn't order to arrest people immediately. After all, Xie Yiting and the others didn't do good things back then. Mr. Bao probably gave Uncle Xiao Huo some time to settle his grievances." Zhao Pudao, "In addition, the leftists have confessed many people , Just now the yamen servants went to arrest people, and Yue Changfeng was also arrested, but he is still insane, and he probably won't get better."

Zhan Zhao nodded, that's right, he was attacked by Wu Yifu's internal force, and he definitely won't recover in a short time!

But everyone also knew that with so many masters here, it was easy to catch Lin Miao, not to mention Lin Miao's life was not long.But even if Lin Miao dies, he won't rest in peace... And his resentment towards Wu Yifu will continue, and he always feels that this ending is incomplete... In addition, Wu Yifu hit the gold bracelet originally to draw out the nightmare.But it turns out that he didn't need a gold bracelet to catch Nightmare Tail, so where is the treasure that Lin Er buried back then?Many questions need to be answered.

"By the way, about Lin Xiao's father..." Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun in detail.

"Oh, my lord has been interrogated just now, and after Yin Hou glanced at Yanwei, Yanwei seemed to be frightened, and explained everything in detail." Gongsun told Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang the result of the interrogation, "The man in black in the coffin back then turned out to be Nightmaretail."

Zhan Zhao was startled, "Is it Nightmare?"

"That's right!" Gongsun said, "It turns out that although Yanwei escaped from the pursuit of the two aunts back then, he also suffered serious internal injuries. He didn't hide well, and was captured by the three-headed Jintuo and the second master. Three Tou Jintuo coveted the treasure left by Lin Er back then, so he collected the scrolls he found and some relics belonging to Lin Da Lin Er, and hid them on the boat. And the three-headed Jin Tuo also knew that Nightmare was greedy for money, and he expected him for many years. The thief should have a lot of gold and silver treasures, so he was nailed in the coffin together with the scrolls and Lin Da's relics, and was going to go back for careful interrogation. But who knew such a coincidence, Lin Xiao's father Lin Ziwen and Shen Yan mistakenly Hit by mistake, ran into a pirate ship, found fake gold! And opened the hall to release the maddened Nightmaretail."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded -- no wonder they looked like zombies.

"What are those fake golds used for?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"This is the consistent practice of the three-headed Jintuo, and it has also continued to the leftists." Gongsun said, "They like to blackmail the gold shop, because the gold shop has a lot of gold, and the method is to first send the fake gold to the gold shop, and then let the gold shop go to the gold shop. Jinpu uses its own real gold to make larger finished products, and returns them without anyone noticing. Jinpu can’t tell if it’s suffering, it’s the same as blackmailing the Jin family.”

Zhan Zhao frowned, "These people are really hateful!"

"After Nightmare escaped, he knew that the three-headed Jintuo would definitely chase and kill him. At that time, he had already planned to swallow the three-headed Jintuo and find the gold hidden by Lin Er, so he gave the scroll to a completely irrelevant Lin Ziwen and Shen Yan used their collection of paintings. He also tattooed their backs to leave a mark so that they would not be found in the future. In addition, he came secretly to stare at them. He brought it out from the three-headed Jintuo. After the wound was healed, Yanwei first provoked the three leaders of the three-headed Jintuo to fight among themselves, causing trouble, which directly led to the split of the three-headed group, and finally killed the left-headed The head of the family, replaced it, and annexed the other two. The three-headed Jintuo became a leftist, and under the control of Nightmare, he became more cautious and made countless fortunes."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, that's why.

"Yanwei actually didn't intend to kill Lin Ziwen and Shen Yan at first. After all, they were just used by him to keep two paintings, and these two teenagers were kind to him in saving his life." Gongsun continued, " It's just such a coincidence that Lin Ziwen is a descendant of the Lin family, probably from the line of Lin's nephew and the others, and has the painting skills passed down from the Lin family's ancestors... When he saw the painting, he thought of some things about the painting handed down by his ancestors. I'm worried about Lin Er's treasure."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, "No wonder..."

"Lin Ziwen originally went to Kaifeng Mansion to rush for the exam, but he accidentally discovered that there were Xie Yiting and Liu Zheng in the Taixue. They were from the left. He was afraid of getting angry. And Lin Ziwen had a misunderstanding back then. He mistakenly thought that Nightmare Tail was the same. A descendant of the Lin family. Because of the sensitive identity of the Lin family, even if he becomes an official, he may not have a good future. Once his identity is exposed, he will be in trouble, so he simply gave up the exam and went home to be his little painter." Gongsun continued, " In fact, Lin Ziwen still wanted to get rid of his identity as a descendant of the Lin family. His family has produced talented scholars for generations. It would be a pity not to pass the entrance examination for the Guangyao family tree! Therefore, he concealed the family tree from Lin Xiao and asked him to concentrate on studying and then take the imperial examination, so Lin Xiao Know nothing about it.”

"Then why did Lin Ziwen bring about the disaster of destroying his family?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"Lin Ziwen got to know about the murder of the Jin family through some channels." Gongsun said, "He wrote to Shen Yan to find out the news, but Shen Yan only told him to keep his mind on his own business, so as not to cause trouble."

Everyone was helpless, Shen Yan was indeed a cowardly person who kept himself safe.

"Lin Ziwen is a careful person. After investigating everywhere, he found that there are more than one family that suffered like the Jin family, so he was very angry. He decided to expose him even if it was a descendant of the Lin family who did the evil, and inform the police. "Gongsun said, "When Lin Xiao was young, Yuye heard his parents quarreling because Mrs. Lin saw the pleading paper written by Lin Ziwen. After reading the pleadings, Mrs. Lin knew that once such a thing was exposed, the result would be terrible It was expected, so he persuaded her to be a husband-in-law. But Lin Ziwen felt that he was ashamed for not reporting it back then, so he must go to Kaifeng to find out the truth of the matter. Lin Xiao was too young back then. Hearing the quarrel between the two, he only knew that his father mentioned I went to Kaifeng to find out what happened, and then I died."

"The one who killed Lin Ziwen was Nightmare?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Well, Yanwei went to get that painting from Lin Ziwen back then, when the couple had a quarrel." Gongsun spread his hands.

"What a coincidence?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

Bai Yutang was also helpless.

"Nightmare has been cautious all his life, how could he keep Lin Ziwen alive, so he killed the couple and took away the painting." Gongsun sighed, "After Nightmare was beheaded, the murder case of the Lin family was solved. Lin Xiao went back to continue studying with Master Lin... But it was really destined, if Lin Xiao hadn't happened to come, he was good at martial arts and smart enough to protect Master Lin, the old master might have been plotted against."

"In addition, Lin Miao helped the brothers and sisters of the Jin family get revenge. The Jin family was haunted by ghosts, killed Xie Yiting and the others, and inserted things on both sides of the corpse's neck. They wanted to direct our attention to the three-headed Jintuo, and borrow the power of Kaifeng Mansion to eradicate the left-bearers. Toupai and Yanwei, to avenge the Jin family." Gongsun continued, "As for Pei Qin, how should I put it, she is the daughter of the prefect Pei. Later, she kept her name incognito, for fear of getting into trouble. But Lin Miao didn't let them go... Pei Qin is said to be vicious by nature. She first joined the leftist faction, and then brought her father to work for the leftist faction. Later, she escaped unharmed , came to Kaifeng, and took refuge in the Jade Shop. I don’t know if it was her temperament that changed for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, or whether she deliberately hid her character to avoid the limelight and escape Lin Miao’s pursuit. In short, she did not escape revenge and died tragically. Said After all, the most innocent one is the shopkeeper Wang who has a deep affection for her."

After listening to Gongsun's detailed explanation of the case, Zhan Zhao shook his head, "One side was greedy for money and committed evil, and the other side was blinded by hatred. Although many people who deserved their crimes died, they also killed many innocent people."

Gongsun also nodded.

"Speaking of it." Bai Yutang asked, "Then what is Lin Er's secret hidden in the painting? Where is the gold hidden?"

Gongsun spread his hands, "Uncle Xiaofu said that he suddenly forgot, and when I asked him, he said that his head hurts."

Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, it seemed that the sick scholar didn't want to tell the world where the gold that could cause bloody storms was hidden.

"Do you still want this?" Bai Yutang took out the brocade box.

Both Gongsun and the fourth son came over curiously, "What?"

Before Zhan Zhao could say anything, he heard two "tsk tsk" sounds from the opposite side, as if beckoning a cat to a dog.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned their faces, and saw Wu Yifu pointing at the brocade box.

Bai Yutang raised his hand and threw the brocade box to him.

Wu Yifu received it in his hand, opened it for a look, smiled slightly, and closed the lid.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—Yanwei had already caught him, and Lin Miao was in the temple again. Everyone knew, why did the sick scholar still need this bracelet?By the way, what is he using this gold bracelet for?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Wu Yifu turned around, stretched out his hand, and tugged the sleeve of Hong Jiuniang who was drinking not far behind him.

Jiuniang was gnawing a chicken leg at the moment, and the big beauty took a mouthful of oil, and looked back at Wu Yifu with half of the chicken leg in her mouth. Facts have proved that as long as she is beautiful enough, no matter how undignified her manners are, she is still charming.

Everyone observed silently—Ganqing Zhanzhao's eating looks a bit like Jiuniang.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao was also gnawing on a chicken leg, gulping his mouthful of oil, looking at the situation on the other side.

Jiuniang turned her head and glanced at Wu Yifu, her expression was not good, "What are you doing?"

Everyone found it interesting. It was natural for Jiuniang to get tired of Wu Yifu before, but since she came back, Jiuniang didn't talk to Wu Yifu very much.In addition, since having Long Qiaoguang as an apprentice, she has taken away all the work, and Jiuniang no longer has to cook medicine and peel crabs for Wu Yifu. On the contrary, Long Qiaoguang not only cooks medicine and peels crabs for Wu Yifu, but also The same filial piety to Jiuniang, Jiuniang who called each teacher's wife wanted to set him on fire and roast him.

Jiuniang turned her head and looked at Wu Yifu with a chicken leg in her mouth.

Although everyone present was concerned about eating, they still paid attention to the situation over there, after all—everyone has a heart for gossip.

Wu Yifu stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat next to him, which meant—come here.

Jiu Niang was awkward and seemed not too happy.

Wu Yifu hooked his finger at her, which meant—come on.

Jiuniang got up, sat next to him, and stared at him, what does that mean—who is afraid of whom?

Yin Hou and the others all helped their foreheads - almost forgot that this girl is also a strange one.

Zhan Zhao had already finished eating the chicken leg, and together with the fourth son, he stretched out his hand to grab a chicken wing, with one hand holding his chin and the other holding the chicken wing, his big eyes staring intently at Wu Yifu and Hong Jiuniang, who were opposite him, gnawing The speed and rhythm of the chicken wings are the same, the only difference is probably that Zhan Zhao's chin is pointed, while Xiao Sizi's is round.

Jiuniang sits next to Wu Yifu, looking at him, what does that mean—speak up if you have something to say, don't disturb my old lady for drinking and gambling!

Yin Hou sighed—this girl didn't know what she was doing awkwardly.

Wu Yifu smiled, stretched out his hand to open the brocade box, grabbed Jiuniang's oily hand with the other hand, put the bracelet on her, and said slowly, "Heirloom."

Everyone blinked, and the expressions on their faces were surprisingly unanimous—oh!

Looking at Jiuniang again, her eyes widened, she was stunned, she held half a chicken leg in one hand, lowered her head, and stared at the exquisite bracelet.

"My mother wore this when she got married." Wu Yifu crossed his legs and said, "It was later hidden together with that batch of gold."

Jiuniang continued to stare at the bracelet in a daze.

At this moment, only the sound of people moving chopsticks was heard around, no one spoke, they all listened gossipingly.

Wu Yifu said slowly, "The gold is all stained with blood and tears, only this bracelet is clean and with a smile on it, those will bring misfortune to people, only this one is auspicious and brings good luck and blessings."

Jiuniang raised her head and looked at the strange yet familiar person in front of her.

Wu Yifu smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently patted Jiuniang's head, "Didn't they all say that you are not lucky enough to marry?"

Jiu Niang stared at him.

"You will tell them in the future..." Wu Yifu withdrew his hand, gently brushed Jiuniang's long hair with his fingers, and said in the same lazy and unhurried pace, "You marry better than anyone else. !"
