treacherous world

The female ghost in white moved quickly, which shows that she has good lightness kung fu, she walked through the house and alley, and finally climbed in through the outer wall of the spicy cat duck neck shop.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—is the female ghost going to eat the duck's neck?

The two followed up to the courtyard wall, and saw the ghost "float" into a room and lit a lamp.

Knowing how to light a lamp means that you are afraid of the dark, and if you are afraid of the dark, you probably are not a ghost.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went up to the roof tacitly, picked up a tile familiarly, and looked inside together.

In front of the dressing table, the female ghost was washing in front of a mirror, the white ashes on her face had been wiped off, she looked like a sixteen or seventeen year old girl, and she was quite pretty.

Zhan Zhao frowned and looked at Bai Yutang. Bai Yutang knew what he meant—who could have a grudge against such a young girl?Also play tricks.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the outer room.

Both of them fell short and prostrated themselves on the roof.

Looking into the yard, I saw a middle-aged man walking over quickly, walked through the yard, knocked on the door lightly, and asked inside, "Miss Wu, are you back?"

"Hmm~" The girl agreed in a soft voice, and her voice went up, it seemed that she was born with such a playful tone.

The man opened the door and went in.

The fifth girl inside called out to him, "Uncle Zhong, are you still asleep?"

"Didn't sleep, where have you been?" Uncle Zhong sat down beside her, "Don't run out all the time these days, I can't explain what happened."

"Don't worry, I'll go and see what kind of person he is."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - him?Who?

"Hey, if you make your own way, be careful not to be scolded." The loyal uncle whispered to the fifth sister, "By the way, don't use that dry well for the time being! Be careful to expose your whereabouts."

"Oh." Fifth Sister nodded.

Afterwards, Uncle Zhong told him to "go to bed early" and left.Fifth Sister took off her coat and went behind the screen to take a bath.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, and put back the tiles on the roof - after all, it's not good for two big men to watch a little girl take a bath.

So, the two left Fifth Younger Sister's house and went to follow Uncle Zhong.

This man looks gentle, probably in his 40s, but he has a ruddy complexion and no beard, and he walks in a weird way.

Bai Yutang blinked at Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao knew what he meant - he looked like a father-in-law in the palace!

Uncle Zhong went back to the front, walked into a study-like room, took out the abacus, paper and pen, and seemed to start to settle accounts.

In the yard at the back, there are a few guys talking, it seems that they need something to prepare tomorrow's spicy duck neck.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked around, and finally turned out from the courtyard wall of the duck neck shop.

"Except for that female ghost, everything else seems to be normal!" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Yes." Zhan Zhao also nodded.

Thinking that since they found the duck neck shop, there would be plenty of opportunities to eavesdrop in the future, so the two went back to the palace first and reported to Master Bao.

After entering the palace, the two still split up. Zhan Zhao went to the front hall to continue listening to the piano with Bao Zheng and the others, while Bai Yutang went to the backyard to find Zhe Ying Zi Ying and tell them about the situation.

Because the west courtyard was locked, the last long corridor connecting the west courtyard was also vacant, with a lot of dust accumulated, the trees on both sides were dry, and it was even more gloomy at night.

Bai Yutang found Zhe Ying and the others, and talked about the results of the follow-up.

As soon as she heard that she had hid in the duck neck shop, Ziying said, "I heard that the neck of the hanged ghost is very long, like a duck neck."

Bai Yutang didn't listen to the nonsense the two were talking about there, and turned his head, thinking whether to return to Kaifeng Mansion right away, or to wait for Zhan Zhao to go with him.But as soon as he got out of the gate of the west courtyard, he saw at the end of the long corridor, there seemed to be a shadowy person walking around, and there was a fire coming, probably holding a torch or a lantern.

Unable to frown, Bai Yutang hid behind a Taihu stone and stared in the direction of the corridor.

After a while, I saw someone walking slowly with a lantern... He moved very carefully and looked around from time to time.He holds a lantern in one hand and a large piece of silk that has been folded in the other.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly - isn't this Eunuch Wei?I also saw it in Qin Pavilion that day. I don't know if he accompanied Zhao Zhen or went by himself.

Following the sneaky Eunuch Wei all the way into the west courtyard, near the Moon Palace, Bai Yutang saw him take out the key and gently opened the door.

Zi Ying and Zhe Ying were still watching nearby, and they also saw this person. They looked at each other and found that Bai Yutang was following behind. They waved their hands lightly to signal—don't disturb him!

Zi Ying and Zhe Ying naturally hid themselves and watched from the dark.

After entering the door, Eunuch Wei walked around the dry well in the center of the Moon Palace garden and walked to the door.He chose a door, opened it and went in, put the lantern on the table, and started looking for things.

Bai Yutang made a light gesture to Ziying and the others, indicating——Say to Zhao Pu!

Zhe Ying left Zi Ying to help Bai Yutang, then turned around and quickly returned to the Imperial Garden to tell Zhao Pu the news.

Bai Yutang watched Eunuch Wei's actions in the dark. After he entered, he stepped on the stool and climbed up to the table, then lifted the stool up and put it on the table, stepped on it carefully, and reached out to feel the top of the beam.After a while, I touched a small box.

He came down carefully with the box in his arms and put it on the table.He pulled out a laurel tree that had long since withered and died from the flower plate on the side, and took out a small bundle from the bottom.

Then he collected it again, in short, he found all kinds of boxes, boxes, and bundles from various corners... Finally, he put them on the table, spread out the large piece of silk, and stuffed everything into it. With a burden on his feet, he walked out of the room with his back on his back.

Judging from his movements, it should be very heavy.

Bai Yutang saw him walking to the edge of the well, as if he was about to get into the well and leave the palace, probably he was about to escape.

At this time, Zhe Ying came back and nodded to him. Bai Yutang was following that Eunuch Wei, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder "scared".

"Ow!"

This black-and-white man, the old man was holding a lantern, and he was guilty of guilt, but let a man in white slap him so hard that he almost spit out his gall, and stared at Bai Yutang behind him in horror.

He was startled and loosened his hands...

When the burden fell to the ground, there was a crisp sound, the burden was scattered, and all kinds of treasures of gold, silver and jewelry fell out of it.Taking a rough look at this, Bai Yutang secretly sighed - this eunuch must have gained a lot of benefits.It turns out that they are all hidden here and in the Moon Palace, what a clever way!Moreover, he actually knew the secret way in the well, so his identity seemed suspicious.

Zheying captured the paralyzed Eunuch Wei, and handed it to Qingying Chiying to bring him back to Kaifeng Mansion pending trial, and hid secretly according to Zhao Pu and Bao Zheng's orders!

……

Zhan Zhao returned to the Imperial Garden and continued to listen to the piano, holding his chin and feeling bored, when will it end?

When he was bored, he heard Gongsun whisper in his ear, "You just missed a wonderful scene."

"What?" Zhan Zhao cheered up and looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun grinned at where the emperor was.Zhan Zhao looked in the direction he indicated, and saw that Mrs. Luo Xin had entered at some point, sitting beside Zhao Zhen playing the piano... No wonder the sound of the piano was much clearer than before.

And look again, the face of the queen mother on the side is wonderful!

Zhan Zhaoxin said—how did Zhao Zhen let Mrs. Luoxin sit closer than Concubine Pang?He asked Gongsun who was feeding the fourth son in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Gongsun laughed, "You missed the show just now. Mrs. Luo Xin fought bravely with the Queen Mother. You see, the Queen Mother is so angry that her face turns black!"

"How did you fight?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"In short, the answers are fluent. He is a decent and smart person. He is very dignified and elegant, and he is not ashamed at all." Gongsun tutted twice, "The Queen Mother made some mistakes and lost her composure this time. Mrs. Luoxin is amazing!"

Zhan Zhao nodded in ecstasy, and looked at Concubine Pang's situation on the other side, feeling a little cold.

Grand Master Pang stopped bickering with Bao Zheng, and felt sorry for his daughter, but Pang Yu and Bao Yan should eat and drink, and they were not very dissatisfied.

Seeing that he was heartless, Bao Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and muttered in a low voice, "If I give birth to a daughter in the future, I won't enter the Hou family. Once I enter the Hou family, it will be as deep as the sea!" That's not necessarily the case. "Pang Yu replied indifferently, "My sister is fine like that, the key depends on whether my husband really loves her. "

Bao Yanxin said that you are blind, the emperor is about to put his arms around other women, and your sister is sitting aside with her daughter in her arms, you still say yes.

Zhan Zhao didn't understand either, and asked Pang Yu, "Marquis Anle, aren't you worried?"

Pang Yu looked at everyone puzzled, "What are you worried about?"

Bao Zheng stroked his beard, seemed thoughtful, shook his head with a smile, and teased Lao Pang, "Oh, there are a few more women in the family, it seems that these are thorough."

Pang Ji blushed, and stared at Bao Zheng in embarrassment, "Damn Heizi, you can't stop your mouth with so much food!"

Zhan Zhao didn't understand, how many more mothers?

Pang Yu whispered, "Look at those girls who want to enter the palace, what kind of eyes are they looking at now?"

Zhan Zhao and Bao Yan looked at each other in dismay, and they both looked over... Not only the daughters who wanted to enter the palace, but even their parents and elders looked at Mrs. Luo Xin with some dissatisfaction. The color of sympathy.

Thinking of the situation where everyone was targeting Concubine Pang before, Zhan Zhao suddenly seemed to understand something.

Bao Yan shook his head——ah, love is hard, and love is hard, and if you have a daughter, you still won't be allowed to enter the Marquis!

The more Zhan Zhao waited, the more bored he became, isn't it alright?Can you find a chance to get away, it's much more interesting to go back and drink with Bai Yutang.

Not long after, Mrs. Luo Xin finished the song and got up to salute Zhao Zhen and the Queen Mother.She whispered a few words to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen nodded, and called a follower to take Mrs. Luo Xin down.

Zhan Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong, but the faces of all the ministers turned pale.

Gongsun reminded Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "The guard who brought Mrs. Luo Xin down is the emperor's personal bodyguard, a female, and she usually protects Concubine Pang.

Zhan Zhao frowned, what medicine does Zhao Zhen sell in this gourd?

……

The banquet in the palace is lively and peaceful on the surface, but it is full of dark tides in private.As soon as Mrs. Luo Xin left, the courtiers began to take their daughters to make friends with the Queen Mother.

Each showed their talents and discussed their strengths, and the queen mother is also a little absent-minded now. Any woman is good, but Zhao Zhen just likes a Qin Ji!

Seeing that Zhan Zhao was uncomfortable at the same place, Bao Zheng said, "You go back first." Zhan Zhao was in a dilemma, he left, Mr. Bao, what about the safety of going back for a while?

"I'll be with you, you go back first." Zhao Pu also called Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao thought to himself and was finally relieved, thinking that Bai Yutang probably had just left, so he stood up and chased him.

At night, the streets of Kaifeng Mansion were as cold as water, Bai Yutang walked back alone, and looked back in the direction of the palace gate after walking for a while, wondering if Zhan Zhao had come out, and if we walked together, we could have a supper or something.

After walking for a while, he heard faint footsteps coming from behind him. The footsteps were quite hurried. With a slight frown, Bai Yutang turned into an alley.

Not long after, a follower ran into the alley. Bai Yutang leaned against the wall and waited, wanting to see who it was, but was taken aback when he saw it—isn't this Mrs. Luo Xin who was playing the piano in the palace? Keep track of what you do.

Luo Xinfu turned a corner and saw Bai Yutang, startled, took a step back, and took a long time to recover.

After waiting for her for a while, Bai Yutang didn't see her speak, so Bai Yutang looked at her as if asking - just say something.

Mrs. Luo Xin was still standing where she was.

Seeing that she didn't say anything and didn't want to spend time with her, Bai Yutang turned around and left, but Mrs. Luo Xin chased after her, "Wait!"

Zhan Zhao ran all the way out of the palace, and wanted to hurry back to Kaifeng Mansion to look for Bai Yutang, but saw the man coming out of an alley.He rushed over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, are you going to drink? I'm not full"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Luo Xin running out of the alley.

Mrs. Luo Xin was also taken aback when she saw Zhan Zhao appearing suddenly, she seemed to swallow the words that were on her lips, turned around and left with her head down.Not far away, there was a small sedan chair waiting. She got on the sedan chair and looked back at Bai Yutang, as if she wanted to say something, but finally waved her hand... The sedan chair was carried away.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, and asked Bai Yutang, "Why is she looking for you?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I don't know, just followed me and didn't say anything in the alley, and then you came."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao nodded, noncommittal.

"I really didn't say anything." Bai Yutang explained to him nervously, "I don't know her."

Zhan Zhao laughed and squinted at him, "Why are you so nervous?"

Bai Yutang opened his mouth and continued to walk forward, "Let's go back and have supper."

"Will Fifth Lord know how to cook?" Zhan Zhao walked aside in a good mood, and patted him again, "Shall you, boring gourd."

Bai Yutang was helpless, "You cat, just talk when you talk, don't move your hands."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to pat him again.

Bai Yutang was not willing, so he patted Zhan Zhao, so the two heroes went back to Kaifeng mansion just like that, talking and fumbling.

As soon as he entered the Kaifeng mansion, Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang and told him to go to the kitchen to cook. Bai Yutang was dragged to the kitchen by him, and saw a small figure rushing out of the kitchen.

Zhan Zhao's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he reached out and grabbed it, but saw that it was Luo Yuan.I saw her hiding a bundle in her arms, standing there blushing.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and asked her, "Aren't you sleeping so late?"

Luo Yuan was holding the bundle, her face turned even redder. Zhan Zhao glanced at the unwrapped part of the bundle, and saw that there were steamed buns hidden inside, so she asked, "Aren't you full? The steamed buns are cold, let's eat hot ones."

Luo Yuan lowered her head and said nothing.

After Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were stunned for a moment, they immediately understood.

Zhan Zhao smiled helplessly, knelt down to look at her, "Silly girl, we won't drive you away."

"But..." Luo Yuan whispered, "At the beginning, everyone said that, once something bad happens, it won't happen."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao knew it, so this little girl collected more food, and if no one wanted it in the future, she would be able to survive at least a few days without starving to death. She probably has experience.

"No!" Zhan Zhao said seriously, "This is Kaifeng Mansion, don't be afraid of those monsters!"

Luo Yuan seemed to be hesitant.

"A few steamed buns can last for a few days?" Bai Yutang took her bag, and seeing that she was still staring at it, he stretched out his hand and threw something to her.

Luo Yuan took it and looked at it stupidly, and saw that it was a money bag, and looked at Bai Yutang puzzled.

Bai Yutang said, "Hide this well, you won't starve to death anywhere."

Luo Yuan opened the purse and took a look, and saw a lot of money inside, she shook her head, "I can't take it."

Bai Yutang shrugged his shoulders, "Just pay me back when you have money. Is there an emergency? Your father and I are friends."

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, thinking he was lying to the kid, you don't even know Luo Qingshan.

Luo Yuan thought for a while, and carefully asked Bai Yutang's name and address. She acted very seriously and said that she would definitely pay back the money in the future.

Zhan Zhao shook his head aside.

Finally, Luo Yuan blushed and thanked Bai Yutang and ran away.

Bai Yutang casually went into the kitchen, looking for something else to eat.

Zhan Zhao followed and patted him on the shoulder, "Oh, Mr. Bai, you have a lot of money."

Bai Yutang laughed, "I didn't earn it anyway."

"Prodigal son." Zhan Zhao defined it.

"Yes, yes." Bai Yutang nodded without arguing with him, holding two jars to distinguish whether it was salt or sugar.

Zhan Zhao looked at him from the side, shaking his head inwardly, this man really... just casually grants such kindness to others, no wonder there are rumors of being romantic, Luo Yuan will definitely compare everyone to him when he finds a husband in the future, Do evil, do evil!This rat has lost countless daughters in his life.I really wanted to tell him, don't be that nice to people if you don't like them, but after thinking about it, forget it... The reason why Bai Yutang is Bai Yutang is that it is fate to be romantic.

"cat."

Zhan Zhao was lamenting Bai Yutang's life, but he heard the man suddenly ask, "Should I put the noodles first or the vegetables first when cooking the noodles?"

Zhan Zhao looked at the pot, "Put the water first! Stupid!"
