treacherous world

The scholar crawled out of the pit, laughing so hard that he was completely unaware of the identities of the people he was teasing, and the sound of everyone grinding their teeth.

Zhan Zhao instinctively reached out and grabbed Bai Yutang's arm, reminding him - murder is against the law, be patient!

Gongsun and the others were just the opposite. Zhao Pra jumped into a rage and wanted to kill the scholar's Gongsun. Gongsun looked very angry.

While everyone was angry, they also thought it was quite funny, there will be a day when there will be ghosts and sorrows!

The fourth son hid behind Xiao Liang and looked out - this man is so strange!Just now he was so scared that he jumped up and down, Xiao Liang hugged him and patted him, "Jin'er, don't be afraid."

The fourth son stretched out his finger and gestured for a while, indicating that he was a little bit scared!

Xiao Liang's eyes sparkled, so cute!

The crazy scholar took down the book basket while smiling, reached out to wipe off the red fruit juice on his face, and waved his hand while smiling, "I'm sorry, sorry, I just passed by here and found a lot of red condensed fruits, and I saw a red fruit juice in the distance. The young man in white came over, so he wanted to make a joke to scare people. As he spoke, he pointed at Bai Yutang, "But he didn't look at me just now, and covered me up again, so I had no choice but to bear it. "

Zhan Zhao cast a sideways glance at Bai Yutang - can he be deceived like this?Rumor has it that you Chinchilla will not be a fool anymore!

Bai Yutang looked back at him expressionlessly——with you and Zhao Pu accompanying me, what are you afraid of? !

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and scratched his chin, Pang Yu was taken aback and almost sat down on the ground, but Bao Yan was fine, he came late and didn't pay attention.But behind him, Xiao Baofu hugged him like a koala, trembling with fright.Bao Fu's children are afraid of these ghosts and ghosts, and they can't bear to be frightened.Bao Yan got a little angry, and asked the scholar with a frown, "Why don't you know the seriousness? There are a lot of children here, what if they get sick from fright?" As he said, he patted Xiao Bao Fu behind him, "It's a lunatic who scares people. , don't be afraid!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were all warriors, so they were taken aback if they were startled. Indeed, now that I think about it, this scholar is too much!If you encounter a timid person, you might be scared to death on the spot.

"Hey." The crazy scholar shrugged, "No wonder, I just kept my eyes closed and held my breath. I didn't know there was a child." As he spoke, he dug out a small ant made of reeds from the library. Grasshopper, ran over to Bao Fu beside Bao Yan, "You are not young, why are you so timid?"

Bao Fu blushed and stammered, "You are the coward!"

The scholar raised his eyebrows, "This is for you."

Bao Fu was just about to reach out to pick it up, but unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to block it, saying "Don't fall for him!", and gently touched the grasshopper with his giant cock... With a "bang", the grasshopper exploded Yes, some ink sprayed out of it and spilled all over the floor.

"Hahaha!" Seeing that the prankster asked Zhan Zhao to try it on, the scholar jumped up happily.

Zhao Pu looked at him coldly, and said to Zhe Ying, "Since he likes to play pranks so much, let's play with him."

"I'm coming!" Zi Ying had long since disliked Zhe Ying, jumped off Zhe Ying's body, and rolled up his arms and sleeves to teach him a lesson.

As soon as the scholar saw that the other party was serious, he quickly hugged his head and ran away, "Oh, the strong beat someone, didn't you say that Kaifeng is a place for justice? Why beat someone?"

All the shadow guards looked at each other, and finally turned to look at Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky. The weather is good today...

After half a cup of tea, the scholar let the shadow guards bury more than half of it in the soil. He couldn't get out no matter what, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Help! The strongman is murdering for money!"

Ziying stuffed the red fruit into his mouth, staining his teeth red.

Gongsun went to the side, turned out his back basket, and saw a lot of messy things inside, most of them had traps, used to scare people.In a pile of books, I found his name post. This scholar is from Shanxi. He really is a talented person who participated in the autumn examination. His surname is Wei, his name is Xitong, and his surname is Lanzhi. His name is very bookish. How can he have such a personality? bad? !

Gongsun took out a scroll, and saw some poems written by hand, which seemed to be written impromptu, but the writing was very vigorous.

Bao Yan also leaned over to take a look, and Pang Yu pouted after taking a look, "Cut, this scholar will definitely not pass the exam, and the handwriting looks like a ghost drawing, not as good as my handwriting, the young master!"

Bao Yan and Gongsun waited for the post in a daze for a long time, and at the same time sighed, "Good words!"

Everyone also came over to look at it, Bai Yutang nodded, "Indeed, there is something about Zhang Xu, the grass sage."

Everyone looked at Bai Yutang in astonishment, Zhan Zhaoyou's eyes slanted very much——Zhang Xu, you know, aren't you from the Jianghu!

"Cough." Bai Yutang coughed, and glared at Zhan Zhao—at least I'm an educated person!

"Hey, little brother is quite knowledgeable!" The crazy scholar said a word, and everyone gasped. This man is really crazy, but he is called little brother Bai Yutang!

Zhan Zhao smiled, "You look smaller?"

"No, no, I'm the oldest in the family!" The scholar laughed happily.

"Then you can grow up in the pit for a while." Seeing that he was angry, Zhao Pu pulled Gongsun and wanted to leave.

The scholar kept shouting, "Oh, it's hard to explain why a scholar meets a soldier!"

Zhao Pu frowned slightly and looked back at him.

"Tsk tsk." The scholar said with a smile, "You fought in Jaotuguan, and 20 soldiers defeated [-] Liao soldiers. If I give you advice, you only need to send [-] soldiers! If I give Liao soldiers Idea, you still have to suffer a defeat."

Zhao Pu was taken aback for a moment, and the ocher shadow behind him laughed, "Bookworm, you are really talking nonsense."

On the other hand, Gongsun nodded, "Well, it is indeed only 5. At that time, Ouyang ran too far ahead and distanced himself from the backup troops, so Zhao Pu sent more troops to surround him from both sides, in order to deter the Liao army and help Let Ouyang clear the siege. In other words, if Huo Qilin runs slower, only [-] horses will be enough. Similarly, if the generals of the Liao army are smarter and fight a quick battle, Zhao's army will really be in a tight spot."

"Hahaha." The scholar nodded repeatedly, looking at Gongsun, "Sir, you are talented! Which year's champion is it?"

Gongsun put away the paper and looked at Zhao Pu, "Let him go. Although this man is crazy, he is definitely a top-ranking talent. It's a pity to be buried alive. Let the emperor clean it up slowly."

Zhao Pu slightly nodded, and asked Zhe Ying and Zi Ying to release him.

Bao Yan was seriously reading his collection of poems. After the scholar crawled out with a disheveled face, he shook the dust and pointed at Bai Yutang, "You pay me for my clothes!"

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was something wrong with this scholar, why did he ask him for clothes.

"If I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't have thought of this ghost idea. You are the one who started it." The scholar said nonsense.

Bai Yutang didn't bother to pay attention to him, looked at the sky, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Go back, or continue to the farm?"

"Let's go back." Zhan Zhao saw that the carriages followed, and it would be too late to go back. Anyway, he brought a lot of local products and brought them back to Kaifeng Mansion to cook a good meal for everyone to eat.

Everyone also decided to leave, and ignored the scholar, but listened to the scholar mumbling behind him.

Gongsun was slightly taken aback when he heard him talking, and looked back at him.

Bao Yan also frowned and asked, "Are you reading Sanskrit?"

After the scholar finished reading, he pinched his fingers and pointed at Bai Yutang, "Give me five taels of silver, and I will solve a catastrophe for you!"

Bai Yutang laughed, "Give me five taels of silver, and I'll solve a catastrophe for you."

The scholar was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, "Where is my catastrophe?"

"I want to kill you, do you think it's a catastrophe?" Bai Yutang asked him back.

Zhan Zhao continued to look up at the sky, thinking that Bai Yutang was not paying attention to him, the guardian of justice in Kaifeng Mansion, more and more, as expected, mice could not be spoiled.

The scholar sighed, and pinched his fingers again, "I didn't save you, but your friend. You value friends more than anything else. If you miss it today, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Before he finished speaking, he saw five taels of silver thrown over.It turned out that Zhan Zhao reached out and took out five taels of silver from Bai Yutang's pocket, and asked the scholar, "Tell me."

Bai Yutang looked at the upright Zhan Zhao beside him with admiration, the cat took money from his pocket more smoothly than from his own.

Everyone on the side looked at Bai Yutang with comfort - forget it, sooner or later they will be a family anyway.

The scholar took the five taels of silver, looked at Zhan Zhao for a while, and nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I like your face! Let me tell you, the fire caused by Western wood is very dangerous, and there is a danger of being burned and buried."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"Your friend has a western character in his name, tell him not to get close to the fire, otherwise, he will lose his life." The scholar said, carrying the basket on his back, carrying the five taels of silver that Zhan Zhao gave him, and walked away cheerfully. The direction is to enter Kaifeng Mansion.

"Alas!" Bao Yan caught up two steps and returned the scroll to him, "Your stuff."

The scholar picked it up, looked at Bao Yan, and stretched out his hand twice, "You also give me five taels of silver."

Bao Yan was taken aback, "I'm in trouble too?"

"That's not true." The scholar shook his head, "You read my poems in vain, give me money!"

"Cut!" Bao Yan disdainfully said, "At worst, I'll let you read my poems again."

"Yeah, that's fair. It's a deal. In a few days, I'll go to Kaifeng Mansion to find you." The scholar continued to stroll away after finishing speaking.

"My lord." Zhe Ying asked Zhao Pu in a low voice, "This scholar behaves strangely."

Zhao Pu nodded, and waved lightly to the black and white shadows behind him, and the two shadow guards followed the scholar.

Everyone is also preparing to return to Kaifeng.

Bai Yutang rode on the white cloud sail, lowered his head and frowned slightly.

Zhan Zhao leaned over and asked, "There is a word 'Xi' between the names, does it mean Ximen Medicine?"

"Hmm..." Bai Yutang frowned, "I'm not sure."

"Shall we go and see him?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Where is he now?"

Bai Yutang's face darkened, "Where else could it be? A brothel!"

Zhan Zhao also immediately turned dark, "Then what should we do?"

"Forget it, let's go quietly." Bai Yutang thought about it, Ximen Yao was a fellow student of his sister-in-law, if something happened, the sister-in-law would be sad, and it would be difficult for him to explain.Although the scholar was insane, he seemed to have some knowledge.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to give Zhan Zhao a hand, motioning for him to go with him.

Zhan Zhao wrinkled his nose, as if he was hesitant, going to a brothel... This requires skill.

But before he could speak, Bai Yutang waved to Zao Duoduo, and Zao Duoduo ran away with Bai Yunfan.Zhan Zhao immediately sighed with emotion——ah!If the female university doesn't stay, stay and stay and make a grudge!Zao Duoduo now listens to Bai Yunfan more than he listens to himself, and his legs are turning outwards!

When the two returned to Kaifeng, they went to the store of Ximen Medicine without stopping. After visiting three or four stores, they heard from the nursing home that Ximen Medicine was not there.

Bai Yutang frowned, and led Zhan Zhao to the next door. Zhan Zhao wanted to scold the street, "How many stores does Ximen Yao open? Dare he do this business in Kaifeng alone!"

The two have been looking for Zhang Deng since the evening, but they still couldn't find anyone, and finally found Xiao Mo in a teahouse.

Xiao Mo heard that Bai Yutang was looking for Ximen's medicine, so he said, "Oh, Dong Xu has gone to Mrs. Kong's place. It seems that the woman is not feeling well recently. Ximen should go see a doctor for her."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Where do they live? Are they still in the post?"

"Yeah..." Xiao Mo nodded, and saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao running away, he quickly followed, and the three of them rushed to the post house, and after a long distance, they saw the night sky in front of them bursting with flames.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Oh no, the post house is on fire!"

The three of them didn't care about the horse anymore, they jumped up and performed lightness kung fu and passed.

I saw that the whole post house was surrounded by fire, many officers and soldiers were gathering to put out the fire, thick smoke blocked the gate, among them some scholars rushed out one after another, some of them were on fire, howling like ghosts and wolves.

As soon as Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao arrived at the door, they saw Dong Xu helping a woman out. Both of their faces were darkened, and smoke was coming from their heads.

"Ahem." The woman coughed.

As soon as Dong Xu looked up, he saw Bai Yutang and the others had come. Before he could speak, Bai Yutang asked, "Where's Ximen?"

Dong Xu was stunned, "He left half an hour ago."

While speaking, I only heard a "crash".

Seeing that half of the building of the post house collapsed, Ouyang Shaozheng stood aside to keep people away. The house looked like it was about to collapse!

Bai Yutang rushed in without waiting for the crowd to stop him.

"Yutang!" Zhan Zhao was so anxious that he went in with him.

At this time, the courtyard was full of flames, and no one could be seen.

Bai Yutang's head was a little empty, and he called out, "Ximen!" But no one answered.

He heard Zhan Zhao chasing after him, "Yutang, to the west! There's a lot of wood..."

Bai Yutang had an idea - Chaifang!

The two searched along the west side, and saw that there was indeed a woodshed not far away, the door was open, and the fire was burning inside.

Vaguely, I saw a man lying down on the ground, all in white.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao rushed in without caring who that person was, because they had already heard the "creaking" sound, and the house was about to collapse.

The two grabbed the man and dragged him out.

As soon as it was dragged outside, there was a crash, and the whole firewood house collapsed.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao supported the man's shoulders, and jumped out of the scene of fire.

Falling in front of everyone and putting them down for a look...it really is Ximen medicine.At this time, his eyes were closed tightly, and the tip of his nose was black, as if he had inhaled thick smoke.

"Why is he in there?" Dong Xu was taken aback, looking puzzled, "He left early in the morning!"

At this time, there were more and more people watching, and Ouyang Shaozheng had already sent all the doctors over. There were many burnt people here.

An old doctor came over to take Ximen Yao's pulse, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, take him to a ventilated place! He won't die, he just passed out from choking."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao exchanged glances, then looked back at Xiao Mo and Dong Xu.

The four of them are all from the Jianghu. Although Ximen Yao is not a top-notch master, he is definitely not a low-handed one either!How could it be possible to be fainted in the fire and unable to escape?Those scholars who had no power to restrain their chickens escaped.

"Hey!"

At this time, Gongsun and Zhao Pu rushed over together.

"Gongsun!" Zhan Zhao beckoned Gongsun to come over and check Ximen Yao.

Gongsun knelt down to check the condition of Ximen Medicine, and frowned slightly, "Huh? He didn't get burned, and he didn't inhale much smoke!" Prying his mouth open and looking in, his throat wasn't burned... Gongsun suddenly noticed his Lip color, looked up at Bai Yutang, "Is this your friend?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "How is he?"

Gongsun stretched out his hand and gently touched his chin, "He's poisoned!"

"Ximen saw Mrs. Kong's illness, and said that he would go back to check the accounts earlier. How could he suddenly return to the firewood room, and then get poisoned?" Dong Xu looked bewildered.

"Someone wants to kill him." Xiao Mo said coldly, "Besides, the person who set the fire and the person who poisoned him may be the same!"

The crowd frowned.

Bai Yutang saw that Gongsun gave Ximen medicine a cure, and asked Zhan Zhao indifferently, "I want to know how that crazy scholar calculated it. I don't believe in Zhouyi gossip."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I think so too! It's a good thing that Kageemon was watching, we have to talk to him."
