treacherous world

It was a young and beautiful woman who came in, wearing a black dress.As soon as the woman entered the courtyard, she met Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang face to face, and all three of them were stunned at the same time.

The woman raised the corner of her mouth slightly, turned her eyes away and continued walking in. The servant girls passing by all saluted her and called her, "Ninth Madam."

The women nodded in agreement one by one, very friendly and pleasing.

When she passed by Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, she deliberately stopped and asked Cui Fang, "Who are these two?"

"Oh, Jiuniang, this is the famous Bai Yutang, this is Bai Jiamao..."

"puff."

Cui Fang didn't finish his sentence when he heard the Ninth Madam burst out laughing, then looked at Zhan Zhao meaningfully, and bowed to him, "Oh? So the son's surname is Bai."

Zhan Zhao's right eyelid kept twitching, and he looked aside in embarrassment.

Bai Yutang also glanced at the woman, but didn't speak.

The Ninth Lady saluted Bai Yutang with a smiley face, then turned around and entered the room, met Cui Qishou, and after sweetly calling out to her master, she was still surprised, "Qin'er is fine!"

Zhan Zhao subconsciously shuddered, and exchanged glances with Bai Yutang, with a slightly awkward expression on his face.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu saw it clearly, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, so they stepped forward and asked, "Know each other?"

Zhan Zhao saw that Wuxu and Wuyu's grandfather and grandson beside him didn't pay attention to this place, so he lowered his voice and said, "That woman's name is Ye Yunshan, and she has a nickname of "Reporting the Funeral Fox", but she is more deadly than Hu Meizi!"

Both Gongsun and Zhao Pu wondered, "People from Jianghu?"

Zhan Zhao pouted, "He's a thief, notorious!"

"How did you two know each other?" Zhao Pu looked at Bai Yutang, "You know each other too?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, "I've seen it once, I'm not as familiar as a cat."

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and wanted to talk, but stopped when he saw Cui Qishou bringing the whole family over.

Ye Yunshan was right next to Cui Qishou, squinting at Zhan Zhao, that look seemed to be a warning - if you don't expose me, I won't expose you either!

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly.

Cui Qishou warmly invited everyone to stay, and he wanted to host a banquet.What's interesting is that he also sincerely invited the two grandfathers and grandsons of the [-] and [-] Wuyu, and insisted on asking them to stay, and even arranged temporary residences for several families.

Speaking of which, Ye Yunshan and Zhan Zhao have been dealing with each other for a long time.There are many flying thieves or star pickers in the world. Those who seek fame and fame will either die or be arrested by the government. Most of the people who can make a name for themselves without being caught and sent to prison have some real skills.

But if he has real skills, he can't resist being caught and followed by God.Zhan Zhao has caught countless Jiangyang robbers in these years, but there is only one person, who he can't catch no matter what - it is Ye Yunshan in front of him.

Everyone followed the servants of Cui's mansion into the other courtyard, took a rest and waited for the banquet to be held, and after the door was closed, Zhan Zhao told everyone who Ye Yunshan was.

Zhao Pu was surprised, "You can't even catch her? Is she light-hearted and inhuman, or is she a master of martial arts? Or is she the wisdom of Kong Ming and the courage of Zhao Yun?"

"Neither of them." Zhan Zhao shook his head dumbfounded, Zhao Pu and Gongsun were even more puzzled.

"There is a reason why Ye Yunshan is called the funeral fox." Bai Yutang helped Zhan Zhao explain, "Wherever she goes, she will confuse the head of the family and make her a concubine, and fool her husband around. Within half a year, this family will die strangely one by one, and after the death, she will inherit all the family business without doing anything, sell it for money and leave."

"Besides, this woman is very cunning. She cleans her hands and feet every time, so there is no way to catch her." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "In short, he knew that she had a problem, but unfortunately there was no evidence."

"This is strange." Gongsun didn't understand, "How did Ye Yunshan know that this family is about to die? Could it be that she killed everyone?"

"Then this woman is too vicious, isn't she?" Zhao Pu found it inconceivable, "How many people would she kill before and after? And she didn't leave any clues."

"My surname is Zhan, you want to wrong me again!"

Everyone in the room was discussing, and from a long distance outside, a clear and loud female voice yelled in, shocking everyone.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly opened the door, and saw Ye Yunshan yelling at the gate of the courtyard, it would be troublesome if people heard it.

Ye Yunshan folded his arms and looked at Zhan Zhao with a smirk, "Oh, I was wrong, the surname is Bai."

Hearing her taunts, Zhan Zhao felt a little annoyed. He rarely hated someone that much, but Ye Yunshan did make him hate him. After all, every time she appeared, there would be at least a dozen or even hundreds of people, and no one would be spared. .This time he came to Cui's residence, the third young master of Cui's family fell insane as soon as he entered the door, and thinking of the many disasters and disasters in Cui's family before, he really doesn't know how many disasters will happen in the future.No matter what Cui Qishou did back then to be cursed, at least, his children and the servants in this room have never done anything, no one has the right to take their lives!

Ye Yunshan was originally smiling, as if she was quite happy to see her acquaintance, but after seeing Zhan Zhao's face clearly, she also frowned, then she lowered her face and walked quickly into the room.

After entering the house, he closed the door with a "bang".

Everyone was taken aback by her actions, Zhao Pu subconsciously pulled Gongsun behind him to avoid being affected.

Ye Yunshan went straight to Zhan Zhao and glared at him, "Zhan, what do you mean? Don't you really want to see me?"

Zhan Zhao slightly raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"

Ye Yunshan opened his mouth and sneered, "Okay! Then I'll tell Cui Qishou that you are an official from Kaifeng Mansion, and you are here to investigate him!"

Ye Yunshan turned to leave, when he heard Bai Yutang Liang Sisi say, "Isn't it better for officials from Kaifeng Mansion to investigate him than for a murderous thief to come and harm him?"

Zhan Zhao nodded to Bai Yutang as a signal—well said!

Ye Yunshan turned his head and looked at Bai Yutang, "Oh... Bai Yutang, right? Ha, I said you guys really look like dogs, and your hearts are more vicious than the other."

Gongsun's eyes widened and he was amazed - this fox who reported the funeral actually said that others were vicious.

"If you want to talk, talk about it." Ye Yunshan found a stool and sat down, but he didn't see him. The dignified and virtuous look of everyone just now had long since disappeared. He reached out and casually picked up an apple from the fruit plate and took a bite.While looking around, his eyes finally fell on Zhao Pu and Gongsun...

"Yeah." Ye Yunshan nodded and looked at Gongsun, "To be able to cure Cui Qin so easily, even the famous doctors in the world are helpless, it seems that this must be Mr. Gongsun from Kaifeng Mansion." Then he looked at Zhao Pu, " Needless to ask, this one is so mighty, it must be the Ninth Prince, right?"

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows.

Ye Yunshan narrowed his eyes and pointed at the two, "You two look really good for each other!"

Zhao Pu's affection for her immediately doubled.

Ye Yunshan smiled and turned around to stare at Zhan Zhan and Bai Yutang, "Much better than the two of you!"

Zhan Zhao sighed, Bai Yutang looked at Ye Yunshan, "You love money the most, don't you?"

"Yes!" Ye Yunshan nodded, her eyes sparkling.

"How about doing a deal with you?" Bai Yutang was not polite to her, and cut straight to the point.

"Business?" Ye Yunshan crossed his legs and asked while eating an apple, "What kind of business? Can I make money?"

"You won't do business with me that doesn't make money." Bai Yutang took it easy, "I'll ask you and you answer. One question is 1000 taels, how about it?"

"Ha!" Ye Yunshan patted his leg and pointed at Bai Yutang, "You really are a cheerful person. I like doing business with people like you the most!"

Bai Yutang nodded, "But if you don't satisfy me with your answer, you won't be able to earn any money."

Ye Yunshan raised his face and thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, there is no free money in the world, you ask, the first question!"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at himself and Zhan Zhao, "Do you deserve it?"

Zhan Zhao almost spit out a mouthful of tea... 1000 taels are gone!This rat.

Ye Yunshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and nodded, "Yes, how can you not be worthy? It's like a pair in heaven and earth! Alas, it turns out that the word "match" is worth 1000 taels of silver from Fifth Master Bai. Compared with Fifth Master, it's really far behind." As she spoke, she looked at Zhan Zhao, who was a little embarrassed, and became more and more angry, "You said you don't have any good points, why are you so lucky?"

Zhan Zhao's eyelids twitched, feeling annoyed.

Bai Yutang nodded, and Bai Fu drew 1000 taels of silver bills to Ye Yunshan. Ye Yunshan happily accepted it, and Bai Yutang pointed out two fingers for the second question.

Ye Yunshan is ready to receive the second bank note.

Bai Yutang suddenly pointed at Zhan Zhao, "Does he have many advantages?"

The corner of Ye Yunshan's mouth twitched.

Zhan Zhao's heart aches, his white mice are such a waste!But what is that sweet feeling in my heart...

Ye Yunshan looked at Bai Yutang in admiration and smiled as if surrendering at the end, nodded again and again, "Many! Mr. Zhan has too many advantages to count. He is handsome, young and promising with a sense of justice, kind-hearted and good at martial arts. Good, a good person, a good future, but it is better to have a good vision than to be good, to pick Bai Wuye, right?"

Bai Yutang nodded in satisfaction, and Bai Fu handed over the second 1000 taels.

Ye Yunshan held the money beautifully and said, "What about the third question?"

Bai Yutang looked at him, "Why do you know that the Cui family will die?"

After this question was asked, the other people cheered up, and that was the point.

Ye Yunshan held his chin and hesitated for a moment, "I can tell fortunes!"

Bai Fu looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang remained silent and continued to look at Ye Yunshan.

Naturally, Bai Fu didn't give any money.

Ye Yunshan sighed, "Oh, although I love money, I don't have a big appetite. Earning 2000 taels is enough. Thank you Fifth Master Bai."

Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "I've said it before, if the answer doesn't satisfy me, you won't be able to earn the money. Where did you get the 2000 taels for you?"

Ye Yunshan's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly, "Bai Yutang, you don't count what you say as a hero? Are you afraid that you won't be able to get along after you spread the word?"

Bai Yutang put the silver knife on the side of the table, "Do you think you are ordered to go out and spread the word?"

Ye Yunshan was startled, and took a step back, "You...don't mess around, this is the Cui Mansion, and I am Cui Qishou's Ninth Lady!"

Bai Yutang interrupted her, "Do you think I dare?"

Ye Yunshan was shocked... She had been dealing with Zhan Zhao for several years. Zhan Zhao was a reasonable person, not only reasoned, but also the laws of the Song Dynasty. There was no evidence, so he had no choice but to hold himself against him.But no one in the world knows that Bai Yutang is unreasonable, let alone the laws of the Song Dynasty.

In desperation, Ye Yunshan had no choice but to ask Zhan Zhao for help, "Hey! You are an official servant, watching him kill people randomly?"

Zhan Zhao blinked, "You also said that we are worthy, and if he wants to kill you, I can only applaud."

Ye Yunshan dodged and wanted to run, but when a figure moved behind the door, two shadow guards blocked his way.She turned around in surprise, Zhao Pu's face turned cold, "Killing you is considered easy, there are ways to make you speak."

Ziying reached out and poked Ye Yunshan's shoulder, "Chop off ten of your fingers first."

Ye Yunshan hurriedly took two steps back, with an aggrieved expression on her face, "You guys are shameless, a group of big men bullying women!"

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison, "Stop talking nonsense!"

With a mournful face, Ye Yunshan finally sat down in his original seat angrily, and looked up at Bai Yutang, "Okay! I can say, but...you have to keep me safe! Also, give me [-] taels of silver and let me find a place to hide For a few years, it is best to be a safe place like Trapped Sky Island or Happy Island!"

Everyone frowned slightly, Ye Yunshan seemed to be afraid of something.

"Go ahead." Bai Yutang nodded.

Ye Yunshan sighed, "I didn't cause those people to die. I knew they were going to die, so I came to collect the money. As for why these people died, I don't know. Someone told me."

"Who?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Master."

When Ye Yunshan said a word, everyone frowned... Is it the young master again?Is it the same person as the mysterious behind-the-scenes person in the previous case?

"Who is the young master?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Ye Yunshan looked up at the crowd, then lowered his head, "He is not human."

Everyone was a little puzzled—usually, there are only two reasons for a woman to say that a man is not human, either he is a heartless man or he is inhuman?

"What are you looking at me for? He's really not human!" Ye Yunshan emphasized, "It's just a literal meaning!"

"It's not a human, could it be a ghost?" Gongsun was puzzled.

Ye Yunshan showed a somewhat troubled look, "I don't know, I just know that he is really different from ordinary people! I was just a thief. I didn't want to sell my body for a living, so I often lied to stupid and lustful people. The rich man in my family will marry me. Usually, I will stun people in the bridal chamber, and then steal some gold and silver jewelry and run away..."

Everyone looked at her.

"What are you looking at!" Ye Yunshan's face was serious, "Which woman do you think is willing to do something? My life is miserable. I was taken in by a thief since I was a child, since my parents died. Of course, those who were taught by stealing are still stealing! I They don't kill people and set fire to them."

"Go ahead." Zhan Zhao handed her the teacup.

Ye Yunshan took a sip of water, and continued, "I always walk by the river. There is no one with wet shoes. Once I missed my hand and was chased and killed. I jumped into the river in a hurry to escape, but was flooded. I thought I was going to die. But when I woke up, I found out that I was rescued! I was on a boat at the time, and I didn’t know if the boat was in a river or a big river or sea. Anyway, there was fog all around, and I couldn’t see the edge at all.”

Everyone listened to her quietly, and at the same time they all wondered - which lakes are often foggy?

"I just saw a young man squatting next to me, seeing that I was awake, and smiling at me." Ye Yunshan touched his forehead as he said this, as if he missed it.

"Hey, girl!" Zhao Pu couldn't help asking, "You look like you are thinking of spring, and you don't seem to be treating some terrible people."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Yunshan blushed.

Everyone raised their eyebrows—are they really excited?

"The person who saved me is not a young master!" Ye Yunshan was angrily, "He is different from them, but he is smart!"

Zhan Zhao suddenly asked, "What does he look like?"

"Well, tall and thin, he doesn't like to talk usually, he looks very cold, but when he speaks, he always looks into my eyes, speaks very seriously, and his voice is very soft." Ye Yunshan thought about it and held back. He couldn't help laughing, "His eyes are very beautiful."

Suddenly, Zhan Zhao reached out and patted Ye Yunshan on the forehead.

Ye Yunshan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise while covering her forehead.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "When he woke you up, did he just take a picture like this?"

Ye Yunshan opened his mouth wide, "How do you know?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao nodded lightly——Zhan Hao!

Ye Yunshan frowned, staring at Zhan Zhao suspiciously, "You really know him? Then what's his name?"

Zhan Zhao didn't speak.

"Don't be so stingy, tell me you won't lose any money." Then, he took out the 2000 taels and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "Shall I buy it with 2000 taels?"

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, looking at Ye Yunshan.

Ye Yunshan suddenly looked into Zhan Zhao's eyes stupidly, "Speaking of...the eyes are a bit similar."

"Go ahead." Zhan Zhao said, "After finishing speaking, I'll tell you his name." Really? "Ye Yunshan was pleasantly surprised.

"real."

Ye Yunshan smiled contentedly, and said seriously, "After I was rescued, I found that there were many people on board, and I was taken to meet a man whom they all called the young master."

"What does he look like?"

"I don't know. This man lived in a very dark room with only one small window. He was standing in a dark corner by the window. It was terrifying." Ye Yunshan recalled, "He asked me if I wanted to die or not. I want to live. If I listen to his words, it will not only allow me to live, but also make me rich and rich. If I don’t listen, I will be thrown back into the water immediately.”

Everyone frowned.

"I had no choice but to agree." Ye Yunshan said, feeling a little melancholy, "So I got a lot of beautiful clothes and money, and was sent ashore. Every once in a while, he would tell me to mix with a family. It won't take long. , the whole family will die, and I only need to be responsible for collecting treasures and inheriting the family business."

"He wants money to share with you?" Zhao Pu wondered.

"No, all the money belongs to me."

"Then what will you give him?" Bai Yutang felt that the deal was totally unreasonable.

"I just need to help him find one thing." Ye Yunshan said.

"What?" Everyone tensed up.

"It's different every time!" Ye Yunshan thought for a while, "Sometimes it's a teacup, sometimes it's a book... Anyway, it's all possible."

"What about this time?" Zhan Zhao asked, "This time he wants you to sneak into Cui's house, what are you looking for?"

"A mirror." Ye Yunshan said.

"What mirror?" Everyone was curious, what kind of mirror was so valuable that it cost Cui's family to exchange it?

"Well, it's said to be an ancient mirror, three feet three feet wide and three feet three feet, with [-] strange symbols engraved on it, and the mirror in the middle is made of colored glaze.

This is the first time everyone has heard of this mirror.

"That's it?" Gongsun felt incredible, "Then just steal the mirror and leave, why kill so many people?"

"I don't know, I just follow orders." Ye Yunshan flattened her mouth, "Every time someone in my family dies, I feel very sad. I really didn't kill them, but I also lied to them before they died. It always feels like I killed them."

"You never thought of running away?"

"I can't escape!" Ye Yunshan was angry, "No matter how many times I have escaped, someone sent by that person will find me and warn me to act honestly, otherwise the consequences will be serious."

"Then do you know how these people died?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Did they all die by accident?"

"Yeah!" Ye Yunshan nodded, "But...they all have one thing in common!"

"What in common?"

"I found that the people I deceived were all about the same age as Cui Qishou, and I don't know if they did something wrong when they were young. It seems that the family has been cursed by some kind, and they are destined to destroy the whole family! "

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Curse..."

Bai Yutang asked Bai Fu to take out banknotes and put them in front of Ye Yunshan, "Write down all the houses you have been to and the things that the young master wants you to take."

Ye Yunshan narrowed his eyes, "You are really commanding, Young Master Bai!"

Bai Yutang waved to Bai Fu.

Bai Fu ordered [-] taels of silver notes for her.

Ye Yunshan held the silver and burst into tears, "Bai Yutang, you are a good person!"

Bai Yutang tapped the pen and paper, "Write."

"No need." Ye Yunshan took out a booklet from a purse next to him, "You think I am short-hearted, I have recorded in detail what he asked me to do these years, so as not to be used up by others in the end, and die I don’t even know how I died.”

Zhan Zhao reached out to take the brochure.

Ye Yunshan was about to say something more, when suddenly... there was a scream from outside, it was heart-piercing.
