Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang gossiped in the tea shed, which annoyed the hot-tempered Mrs. Ming Xi.

Mingxi is about to teach the two younger ones a lesson.

At this moment, two people appeared at the door of the tea shed.

"Master!"

Ming Xi raised his head when he heard the sound, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also looked back, and saw that the speaker looked familiar...it was Situ Yue, the elder brother of the Eastern Emperor's Gate.

And behind Situ Yue, followed by a petite woman, she poked her head to look at the tea shed, and ran in calling "Auntie Grandma".

Mingxi's stinky face finally healed, and he stretched out his hand to pull Changsun Yao, "It's grown so big!"

Changsun Yao and the other three girls obviously knew each other, they hadn't seen each other for a while, they were all about the same age, they held hands and talked.

Situ Yue saluted Ming Xi, then looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were sitting and drinking tea, a little puzzled, what are they doing here?

Lord Bao and Grand Master Pang were eating noodles with their heads down, and they were dressed in casual clothes. Situ Yue didn't look carefully, as if there was something urgent.He nodded slightly to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, walked to Ming Xi's side, and whispered, "Master, Master is waiting for you."

"En." Ming Xi nodded, motioned for Situ Yue to lead the way, and then walked out. Before leaving, the old lady still gave Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang a hard look.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang look at the sky.

Ming Xi quickly left with Situ Yue and went to the East Emperor Gate.

When they left, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—Mingxi should be Changsun Jin's aunt... She suddenly came to the East Emperor Gate, maybe it has something to do with the recent case, maybe Changsun Jin felt that he could handle it Not coming, so I asked a master to help?

At this time, Lord Bao and Grand Master Pang had finished their noodles, paid the money, and took Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to continue on the road to Liangzhe Road to transfer to the envoy's yamen.

The four of them had just left the tea shed when they heard someone shout, "Father!"

Everyone turned their heads, and on the mountain road, they saw Pang Yu waving to this side, behind him were Bao Yan, Yin Hou, Tianzun, and...a group of monks big and small.

"Yo!"

From a long distance away, the great monk waved to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Brother Zhan! Hehe, Fifth Bai is here too!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were surprised - isn't this Xuan Ning!Mingxi just left, now Xuanning is here?

When Tianzun and the others came up, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged a few words with Xuan Ning.

Naturally, Xuan Ning would not follow them to the yamen, saying that they were waiting for them to have tea in the tea shed, and Tianzun and Yinhou also entered the tea shed.

It’s just that Xuan Ning stood in front of the tea shed and didn’t go in. He looked towards the direction of the mountain behind him, touched his chin and said to himself, “Isn’t that aunt lost again?”

When Zhan Zhao heard it, he reached out and poked Xuan Ning, "Master Mingxi just followed Situ Yue up the mountain to the East Emperor's Gate."

"Cough cough." Xuan Ning coughed, curled his lips, "Who is Ming Xi? I don't know." After speaking, he didn't wait any longer, turned his face and wandered into the tea shed to drink tea.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, looked at Xuan Ning's awkwardness, and guessed that the second gossip was the truth.

The two left the crowd and went to the yamen first.

When they arrived at the gate of Liangzhe Road Transfer Envoy's Yamen, both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help frowning.

There is a large market at the foot of Donghuang Mountain, with many shops. The Yamen was originally next to the market, but now the peddlers are almost blocking the gate of the Yamen.

Master Bao couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter with Huang Tong?"

The grand master also nodded, "This transfer envoy's yamen is not a small place, the stalls are all set up at the gate, what about the officials and officers and soldiers inside? Don't you say that Huang Tong is quite reliable?"

Lord Bao frowned and shook his head, Huang Tong had resigned, probably because there was no one in the yamen.

When everyone reached the gate of the yamen, they saw that the gate was open, and there were two guards guarding the gate, who didn't stand still, and were sitting at the gate, playing chess.

Mr. Bao was almost annoyed—the guard at the gate of which yamen sits and plays chess?

"Cough cough." The grand master coughed.

The two guards looked up, did not move, and continued to play chess with their heads down.

The grand master got angry and reached out to pat one of the guards.

The guard raised his head and waved his hand to the Grand Master, "Old man, I want to file a lawsuit in Suzhou Mansion. This yamen is not an ordinary yamen, and I don't accept lawsuits."

Grand Master Pang frowned, "Where's Huang Tong?"

The two guards were taken aback when they heard the words, and looked up at the grand master, "Are you looking for our transfer envoy? He's not here, he's back to his hometown."

"Bastard!" Master Bao couldn't help it anymore, "Huang Tong dares to go home before the official duties are handed over? Go and call him back!"

The two guards turned their gazes from Grand Master Pang to Mr. Bao, and jumped at the first glance——Who is Emma?Lei Zhenzi?

Mrs. Bao, Mrs. Guanwei, was probably scary. The two guards looked at each other and asked him, "Who are you?"

Grand Master Pang said, "We are officials from Kaifeng, what about your family's transfer envoy? Even if you resign, you can't leave immediately, you have to hand over the official duties!"

The two guards stared at the Grand Master for a long time, puzzled, "When did my transfer envoy resign?"

This time, it was Master Bao and Grand Master Pang's turn to be taken aback.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also a little confused—didn't Huang Tong write a note and send it to the palace to resign?Is it fake?No matter how troublesome Zhao Zhen is, he is still a serious emperor, so he wouldn't be so boring with them, would he?

Both Taishi and Master Bao realized that something was wrong.

The grand master stretched out his hand, took out the gold medal bestowed by the emperor, and flashed it before the eyes of the two yamen servants, "Call the old man to come out!"

The two guards had panicked expressions on their faces, Master Bao scolded, "Not yet!"

The two guards were so frightened that they hurried in.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "What's going on?"

Grand Master Pang also asked Mr. Bao, "I said, Huang Tong wrote the letter in the emperor's hand to resign, right? Does it mean that it doesn't count if you write it?"

Master Bao sneered, "If it's true, is Huang Tong just kidding with the emperor?"

The grand master also thought it was funny--the crime of deceiving the emperor, the kid is tired of working?

Not long after, I saw a person running out of the house, a skinny little old man, straightening his clothes as he ran out, and when he went out, he had a look of "as expected", and hurriedly saluted, "Xiaguan Qian Jiu...has seen you before?" Mr. Bao..." As he spoke, the old man saw the grand master again, and seemed a little surprised, "Grand master Pang is here too... I am far away to welcome you, but I am at a loss..."

Master Bao waved his hand before he finished speaking.

Who is this person?He is the Deputy Transit Envoy of Liangzhe Road, Qian Jiu, he and Huang Tong have been to the palace, probably met Master Bao and Mrs Pang.

Naturally, there is not only one official in the transfer envoy's yamen. In addition to the transfer envoy Huang Tong, there is also a deputy transfer envoy and some other officials.

Qian Jiu was not surprised when he saw Mr. Bao. Probably the guard ran in and told him that a dark old man came to the door. The news that Mr. Bao came here recently has been heard in the streets, and he can guess after a little thought. It was he who came.

What surprised Qian Jiu was that the Grand Master also came together.

Let the four of them into the yamen.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sized up the transfer envoy's office as they walked. How should I put it, it gave people the feeling of chaos!

This yamen is in a mess, everything is leaderless.

After entering the study, Mr. Bao glanced at the official documents piled up on the table, and couldn't help frowning.

The Grand Master asked Qian Jiu, "Where's Huang Tong?"

"Uh..." Qian Jiu opened his mouth, seemingly hesitating.

"The grand master told the emperor that Huang Tong had asked to resign, so he was asked to take over the official duties temporarily, and then handed over the succession document and an imperial edict."

After reading what the grand master gave, Qian Jiu gasped, "How... how is it possible?"

"Where is Huang Tong?" Bai Yutang was a little impatient.

"Huang..." Qian Jiu sighed, "Master Huang is missing!"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Missing?"

Qian Jiu nodded, "The one who disappeared a month ago!"

Grand Master Pang opened his mouth wide, "You didn't report such a big thing?"

"Because... Maybe Master Huang will come back suddenly." Qian Jiu cried, "We want to wait for him to come back..."

"What's going on?" Master Bao asked, "Tell me in detail!"

Therefore, Qian Jiu confessed honestly.

It turned out that a month ago, the two Zhejiang road transfers made the yamen run normally.

This afternoon, Huang Tong was sitting in the study reading official documents as usual. At that time, Qian Jiu and several officials were in the outer study, and Huang Tong was alienating.

About half an hour later, Qian Jiu took the processed official document to Huang Tong.

But what was strange was that Huang Tong wasn't there.

Zhan Zhao took a look at the structure of the study room. The study room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The inside, which is where they are now, is Huang Tong's study room, while the outside is the big study room, separated by a wall. The door is just a beaded curtain. Outside is the study room shared by three officials, all of whom are civil servants in the yamen.

At this time, Qian Jiu invited the two civil servants...

All three said that they were outside that day and had never been out. Huang Tong should be in the separate study room. The windows of the study room were closed and locked from the inside.

But when Qian Jiu went in with the official documents, he found that Huang Tong was gone!

The other two officials also ran in when they heard Qian Jiu's call. The three of them opened all the cabinets in the study and searched for them, but Huang Tong just disappeared out of thin air.

"At that time, half of the official documents on the table were approved." Qian Jiu said helplessly, "There is no one in the cabinet with the doors and windows closed. We are all outside. It is impossible for someone to go out and not find it, but Mr. Huang just disappeared!"

Zhan Zhao sounds fresh, could this Mr. Huang know how to drill into the ground?

"Is there a tunnel or a secret room?" Bai Yutang asked.

"We've searched it all! Nothing!" Qian Jiu pointed to the messy room, "Not only the study room, but the entire yamen has been searched!"

Zhan Zhao and the others understood, no wonder it was such a mess.

"Why did you keep it secret?" Master Bao frowned.

"At first we only wanted to wait a few days to see, but it took a month. Master Huang treats us well on weekdays. We are afraid that he will go out suddenly for something. If he comes back after reporting, the court will hold him accountable for negligence. We are also jointly and severally responsible for the crime of duty..." Qian Jiu whispered, "Anyway, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away, we just want to wait and see..."

"Ridiculous!" Master Bao became angry.

"What's with the resignation letter?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "There must be Huang Tong's official seal on it!"

"My lord's official seal..." Qian Jiu rummaged through the pile of books on the table, found a brocade box, opened it, and found that Huang Tong's official seal was intact inside.

"Master Huang really wrote a letter to resign?" Qian Jiu wondered, "Could it be that he resigned and left without saying goodbye..."

"No." The Grand Master shook his head, "The time doesn't match, the time on the beating watch was more than half a month ago, according to what you said, Huang Tong had already disappeared at that time."

Qian Jiu and the others scratched their heads.

"Have you visited Huang Tong's hometown?" Grand Master asked, "Didn't he say that my mother was sick..."

Qian Jiu opened his mouth wide, "How is it possible...Master Huang's mother passed away when he was very young!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and felt that this matter was all evil.

"Who else knows about this matter besides you?" Master Bao asked.

"The head of the Eastern Emperor's Gate, Changsun Jin, knows." Qian Jiudao, "Master Huang and the head of the eldest grandson are good friends. Not long after he disappeared, the head of the eldest grandson came to him for a drink. We told him the situation, and he sent a lot of people. Going to search, almost searched all over Suzhou, but there is no whereabouts of the adults, and he is also very anxious."

Master Bao nodded and looked at the Grand Master.

The grand master stood there thinking, for a long time, he asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "You two are excellent in martial arts... Is there any way to make people disappear from this study?"

In fact, there is no need for the grand master to ask, at this moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are both checking this study.

Zhan Zhao looked up at the roof, Bai Yutang looked down at the ground, Zhan Zhao stood in the middle, and Bai Yutang was wandering along the wall.

The two of them didn't find any clues at this time. In addition, the room has been turned into a mess by this group of men. If it can be preserved as it is, it will be easier to find.

Zhan Zhao looked at the roof for a long time, then suddenly poked Bai Yutang and said, "Yutang."

Bai Yutang looked at him.

Zhan Zhao pointed to the beam in the center of the house and asked, "Why do I feel that the beam is not in the center?"

Bai Yutang also raised his face to look, not to mention... Indeed, the beams in this room are a little bit to the left. Could it be that the roof is asymmetrical?The roof on the left feels narrower than the roof on the right.Bai Yutang is proficient in architecture, if this house is built like this, it will collapse... unless it is...

Bai Yutang looked at the wall on the left.

The study is oriented north-south, and the design is facing south. The chairs are placed on the north side, facing the south side. The north wall is a bookshelf, and the south side is a white wall. There is a very long picture of the mountains and rivers, which is very grand.On the east and west sides, there are windows on one side and doors on the other... and the wall corresponding to the left in the house is the east wall where the pictures are hung.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao stared at the wall at the same time.

Qian Jiu and others were puzzled, and turned to look at the wall.

Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "This wall... has always been like this?"

Qian Jiu nodded, "That's right, Mr. Huang likes a simpler arrangement."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Is that wall thicker than the wall here?"

Qian Jiu and others scratched their heads—is there any?Never noticed it before.

Bai Yutang walked over, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the wall, then stared blankly at the wall for a moment.

Zhan Zhao also walked over and asked Bai Yutang, "What's wrong?"

"Touch and try." Bai Yutang pointed to the wall.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand, touched the wall, touched it once, retracted his hand, blinked, and touched it again.

"What's wrong with this wall?" Master Bao came over, reached out to touch it, and then stared at his hand, "Why does it feel...it doesn't look like a wall..."

The grand master also came over to touch it, blinked, and asked Qian Jiu, "What kind of paddle do you use to paint the wall? It's so slippery!"

Zhan Zhao wanted to reach out to tap, but Bai Yutang grabbed his wrist.

Fifth Master turned around, picked up a brush from the table, pointed the end of the brush at the wall, and poked it...

Everyone almost heard a "poof", and a hole was poked in the wall by a pen.

Lord Bao and Grand Master Pang both nodded—the fifth master has high internal strength!

It's just that Bai Yutang didn't pull out the pen, but held the pen holder and pulled it down, only to hear a "stab" sound, and the wall was like paper, a crack was broken.

"Paper?" Grand Master Pang exclaimed.

"It's not paper." Bai Yutang showed the grand master a thin white thread drawn from the end of the pen.

The grand master was stunned for a long time, then exclaimed, "Silk... this wall is made of silk? No wonder it's so slippery!"

"But why does it feel so hard..." Master Bao didn't finish his sentence when he saw Zhan Zhao pulling the crack and pulling the entire wall away, followed by a rotten smell. smell……

Bai Yutang frowned and waved his hands... The window opened, and the smell eased a little.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses, and looked behind the wall that Zhan Zhao had ripped off. What they saw was a shocking sight... Behind the wall was a person hanging upside down. This person was wrapped in white silk threads all over his body. Wrapped so that only the head remained, it was hung upside down on the wall, and judging from the degree of decay on the face, it had been dead for some time.

Zhan Zhao hooked his fingers to Qian Jiu who was retching by the window covering his mouth, pointed at the man who hanged upside down, and asked him, "Is he Huang Tong?"

Qian Jiu glanced at it, and nodded along with several officials around him—that's right!

Lord Bao and Grand Master Pang also frowned.

Bai Yutang looked at the thin and soft silk thread hanging on the pen, thoughtfully.

The grand master couldn't help asking, "What kind of silk is this?"

Bai Yutang put the pen back on the table and said, "Spider silk."
