treacherous world

In the middle of the night, Shi Shi stared at the dark ancestral hall and made strange noises. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also a little nervous, but the key was that they couldn't feel the breath of any living things inside.

Shitou hummed for a while, then leaned over, trying to pull open the door of the ancestral hall.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly blocked the stone, lest any mechanism or the like hurt it.

Gently pushing the door open a little, the two stood outside on guard.

There was a creak...the door opened.

The moment they opened the door, both of them understood why Shi Shi was so excited, because there was a person hanging from the beam in the middle of the room.

Judging from her attire, she was a woman.Her hands were tied, higher than her head, and she was hung on the beam. There was a whip and a bucket on the ground. Looking at the girl, there seemed to be long scars and bloodstains.

Zhan Zhao stepped forward to put her down, reached out and touched her neck, then turned around, "Yutang, she's still alive!"

Bai Yutang also walked over, and saw that the girl's eyes were covered with a cloth, and her body was covered with whip marks, as if she had been tortured.

Reaching out to tear off the cloth strips covering her eyes, the two of them looked at her appearance through the moonlight, and they were all taken aback-know her!It was the girl who sang in the restaurant and disappeared later.

"How could it be her?!" Zhan Zhao felt her pulse, frowned and said to Bai Yutang, "It's a serious injury!"

"Take it back to Gongsun for treatment first." Seeing that the girl was dying, Bai Yutang seemed unable to delay.

The two of them didn't have time to investigate anymore, so they hurriedly brought him back to the government office.

The county yamen is also in chaos now, and the yamen servants are busy appeasing the family members of the deceased who came after them and the curious onlookers.At this time, it was almost dawn, and the news spread more and more outrageous. Now almost everyone knows that the Yinshan monster ran down and killed Li Yuanwaiman's family.

It is said that Li Gang fell ill due to too much stimulation, and Li Feifei never showed up.

After Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang brought the girl back to the yamen guest room, Gongsun went to treat her, and frowned after taking a look, "Who is so wicked to torture a girl?!"

Liu Xie heard that Wang Yougui's family had found someone who had abused lynching and that the squires had also disappeared, so he immediately sent someone to check.

But as soon as the people here were excluded, the squires sent people to the yamen, saying that they didn't leave at all.

After Qian Dayou's accidental death, those squires were threatened by mysterious people who claimed to be descendants of Xu's family, so they hid their whole family in another courtyard on the mountain, but Li Gang's relatives did not leave. Sure enough, something happened!

They have not been here for the past two days, so the house is empty, and someone may have entered it.They said they didn't know anything about torture and torture of girls.

Because there are a large number of proofs from the family nursing home, and the villagers near the other courtyard have also seen these squires have been active on the mountain, so Liu Xie has no evidence to prove that the girl was kidnapped by them, and they have nothing to do with them.

After Gongsun examined the girl, he found that she was not only beaten, but also poisoned, but because he found it earlier, he was lucky to save his life.

"The injury is really serious?" Zhao Pu saw that the girl was wrapped up like a bandage after being bandaged by Fei Ying and others, and he was a little puzzled, "Why do you torture a village girl?"

"I have to wait until she wakes up to ask." Gongsun still has a lot of corpses to be examined, and he is the busiest person now, so he hurried to make a room, and Zhao Pu naturally followed.

Wei Yue'e, Fei Ying and the others took care of the girl. The strange thing was that after taking the antidote, the wound hurt so much. It stands to reason that the girl should wake up, but she has been sleeping deeply.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang waited in the yard for a long time, wanting to wait for her to wake up so they could talk to her, but the girl had been sleeping soundly like she hadn't slept in days.

"Alas..." Zhan Zhao looked at the busy crowd, but he and Bai Yutang were the only ones who were free.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao looked around - where is Bai Yutang?Just sitting next to him.

Xiao Liang was practicing at the side, Bai Yutang had just taught him some saber techniques that were very different from Zhao Pu, and Xiao Liang was studying the formulas.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "Little Liangzi, have you seen Bai Yutang?"

"Little Four took Brother Bai to change clothes!" Xiao Liang replied.

"Change clothes?" Zhan Zhao didn't quite understand, "What kind of clothes should you change?"

"In this way, Jin'er said, Big Brother Bai is going to use a beauty trap later, so he needs to change into better clothes." Xiao Liang replied seriously.

"What kind of beauty trick?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Isn't Bai Yutang the one who bothers you the most?"

"Of course you can't say that in front of Big Brother Bai!" Xiao Liang laughed, "Aren't they going to pretend to be distinguished guests to see the ancient silk? That's why Jin'er said that Big Brother Bai should dress better, preferably ones that can be seen Then Li was very dizzy."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly—that little rascal!

"But?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "Under such circumstances, would Li Fei still be in the mood to do business?"

"Yes, there is no one in Li's residence to cancel today's appointment." Xiao Liang was also a little puzzled, "Also, Brother Zhan, just now Zhe Ying came back and said, that Li Fei, his family members are all dead, he Didn't even cry."

"Didn't you cry?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Well, although it is said that a man does not shed tears lightly, but the whole family is dead and he is still indifferent, it seems a bit too hard-hearted."

"It's really not wronging him to say that he is indifferent and hard-hearted." At this time, Ziying jumped down from the roof with a bun in her mouth and a large oiled paper bag in her hand, which contained many hot buns. , asked Zhan Zhao, "Do you want to eat?"

Zhan Zhao reached out to take one, and asked him, "Li very really didn't care about the death of his relatives at all?"

"Yeah! The prince asked Zheying and I to follow him, that Li is very, too exaggerated!" Ziying clicked his tongue twice, "Last night his family members died, he came to see him, and found a doctor for his father After seeing a doctor, he went back to the house to sleep, and then got up early in the morning, had hot tea, and listened to a little song for a while, which seemed to be played by a young lady he liked. He was also in a good mood to talk to others After flirting with each other for a while, he was not only not sad but also very happy, then went to another hospital to see his father, and after only talking a few gossips, he went to the store to look at the business, keeping the servants around him to accompany his father... "

"Wait..." Zhan Zhao couldn't help interrupting, not because he found any clues, but because he was very concerned about a certain sentence in it, "What little girl?"

"A young luthier, Zhe Ying said that he should be a young lady, anyway, it seems that the two of them are flirting with each other."

"Isn't Xiaoguan a man?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Li likes men very much?"

"Well, it should be all right... He has a wife and concubine at home, but they all died last night. But he didn't even look at the corpse." Zi Ying clicked twice, "Oh... this person has no feelings at all! "

Although Zhan Zhao thinks that his indifference and ruthlessness are suspicious, what he cares most about is that he likes men...Combining with what Xiao Liang said just now, the fourth son wants Bai Yutang to trick a beauty, this... Zhan Zhao feels that he likes men. I care very much!Some fidget.

After Ziying finished speaking, she left, leaving Xiao Liang to continue practicing. After thinking about it, Zhan Zhao went back to find the fourth son and... Bai Yutang.

In the house in the backyard, Sizizi and Bai Yutang had changed their clothes, and were going to go to the restaurant to look at the silk and satin.

The two of them were also chatting about Li's special features, some things were suspicious, and they wanted to trick him later.

Bai Yutang was dressed in white, I don't know where the fourth son got the clothes, it looked luxurious.

Zhan Zhao went to the door and wanted to knock, but he heard the fourth son talking to Bai Yutang inside, "Bai Bai, open the collar a little more."

"Huh?" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Why?"

"Well, how about this!" The fourth son helped Bai Yutang to open the collar a little bit, so that the collarbone could be seen indistinctly better!

Zhan Zhao became more concerned, coughed lightly, and knocked on the door.

The fourth son was pulling the neckline for Bai Yutang, startled by the sound of coughing, he struck hard and tore off a large piece.

Bai Yutang recognized Zhan Zhao's voice and said, "Cat?"

Zhan Zhao pushed the door open and came in, and immediately saw that he had opened a large part of his neckline, he was angry - do you need to open it so much?Just don't dress up!

"Meow meow." Seeing Zhan Zhao coming, the fourth son climbed down from the stool. Zhan Zhao touched his head, glanced at Bai Yutang's open collar inadvertently, narrowed his eyes, and looked at him. It's awkward.

"How? Got a clue?" Bai Yutang thought Zhan Zhao had discovered something, so he asked.

"...It's nothing, there seems to be something wrong with that Li Chao." Zhan Zhao said casually, and then glanced at Bai Yutang's neck, "Are you going to test him later?"

"Yeah." Bai Yutang rested his cheek with one hand and answered casually, "There may be some clues."

"." Zhan Zhao nodded, looked at Bai Yutang again, and asked, "Wear like this?"

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, looked up at Zhan Zhao, and saw that he seemed to be very concerned about his neck, lowered his head subconsciously, suddenly seemed to understand something, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. "What are you laughing at?" Zhan Zhao glanced at him again, and found that Bai Yutang was smiling.

"It's nothing." Bai Yutang reached out and picked up the knife on the table, stood up, "Little Si, let's go."

"." The fourth son trotted over, reached out and grabbed Bai Yutang's sleeve, and heard Zhan Zhao say, "I'll go too."

"You have a special status, I'm afraid that Li Chao will know you." Bai Yutang seemed unwilling to go to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "I can hide in the dark."

Bai Yutang nodded happily, "That's good."

"Wait." Seeing that Bai Yutang had already reached the door, Zhan Zhao couldn't bear it anymore and called him to stop.

Bai Yutang turned to look at him.

"Ahem." Zhan Zhao pointed to his collar, "The clothes are not buttoned properly."

Bai Yutang looked down, looked at Zhan Zhao puzzled, and took a step closer.

"Why?" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang in front of him.

Bai Yutang slightly raised his eyebrows, "Help buckle."

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed, raised his eyes, and felt that he might have had an illusion. At that moment, there was a flash of narrowness in Bai Yutang's eyes, with a lazy expression and a teasing smile.

Zhan Zhao immediately became depressed.

Bai Yutang leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Is there any problem going out like this?"

The two stood facing each other at the door, and the fourth son sat on the threshold and raised his face and raised his chin to observe the two of them, and found a problem—the situation of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang was completely different from that of Gongsun Zhao Pu!

If Gongsun and Zhao Pu are Zhao Pu pressing on every step of the way, then Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are always competing with each other.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's hesitation, Bai Yutang turned around and wanted to go out.

"It's cold outside." Zhan Zhao said calmly, "Isn't it cold like this?"

Bai Yutang turned around, "The cat..."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao lost the passivity of the moment just now, and stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes. The faint dark golden luster in the eyes made Bai Yutang unable to look away, "So, why don't you hold back?" "

……

In this stalemate until it was close to noon, Bai Yutang finally took the fourth son out of the door. The fourth son looked up at Bai Yutang and covered his mouth, "Pfft..."

Bai Yutang was helpless, reached out and gently tugged at the white scarf that Zhan Zhao was wearing around his neck, "What are you laughing at, little four."

"Does Miaomiao win this round?" The fourth son asked, looking at Zhan Zhao who was walking leisurely with the two of them on the roof.

"At most a tie." Bai Yutang was a little helpless, just now Zhan Zhao not only buttoned up his clothes, but also wrapped a scarf around it, almost covering his chin.Don't talk about going to the streets, even if you go to the desert, probably this little outfit is enough. This cat...is not honest at all.

"Miaomiao doesn't want to be seen by others in vain!" The fourth son shook Bai Yutang's hand, "Do you want to show meow to others in vain?"

Bai Yutang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but didn't speak.

"Daddy doesn't want Jiujiu to be seen by others, and Jiujiu doesn't want Daddy to be seen by others." The fourth son said, seeing Bai Yutang half-squat down.

Stretching out his hand and flicking on the forehead of the little four, Bai Yutang asked, "Little four."

"Huh?" The fourth son rubbed his forehead and looked at Bai Yutang in front of him.

"You already understand some things, so it's impossible for us not to understand them." Bai Yutang's voice was low and slow, very calm and very pleasant to hear.The fourth son blinked, Baibai meant...

"The journey before arriving at the destination is the most interesting, cherish every moment." Bai Yutang raised his face, and saw Zhan Zhao squatting on the roof and looking down curiously, like a curious cat.

Seeing him raise his face, the eyes of both sides met, Zhan Zhao immediately raised his face and looked at the floating clouds in the sky, while stretching out his slender fingers, he scratched his chin lightly.

The fourth son saw a nice smile on Bai Yutang's face again, he never smiled at others like that...smile.

Not far ahead was the Jiashan Tower, Bai Yutang stood up and took another look at Zhan Zhao on the roof.

Zhan Zhao already understood, disappeared in a flash, and went to ambush near Jiashan Tower.The fourth son stretched out his hand to pull Bai Yutang's sleeve and followed him.

Bai Yutang watched Zhan Zhao skim over the eaves lightly and nimbly, and stopped at the top of Jiashan Tower, waved to the two of them, and then hid.

"Miaomiao's swallow flies, it looks so light, as if it can fly." Xiaosi said suddenly.

Bai Yutang looked down at him, and said with a smile, "Little Si, in this world, the best lightness kung fu that can easily keep up with Yan Zifei is to be like a shadow..."

The fourth son looked at Bai Yutang with his eyes wide open, and when he waited for the second half of his sentence, he always felt that Bai Yutang hadn't finished speaking.

But Bai Yutang stopped right here and didn't say anything further.

The little fourth son kept wondering if there was a second half of the sentence in his little head, and then he asked Xiao Liang.Xiao Liangzi smiled playfully at him, "Jin'er, no matter where you go, I can find you! I am the only one who is worthy of you in this world, so don't ask me."

The fourth son blushed and pushed Xiao Liang, "I asked you what you said in vain, who told you to be so obedient!"

Xiao Liang smiled and said nothing, the words were really nice.
