treacherous world
Chapter 92
In Taibai's private room, Bai Yutang ordered a table full of vegetables to feed the cat.
The two of them hadn't tasted Chef Taibaiju's cooking skills for a long time, and they hadn't eaten well after traveling for several days, and they were starving, so they started eating while chatting about the recent situation in Kaifeng Mansion.
A guy from Taibaiju came in to deliver the food. This guy was called Xiao Liu, and he was very clever.Xiaoliu's father was originally a hunter, and he was involved in a murder case and almost lost his life. Fortunately, Mr. Bao cleared him of the crime, and his family was prevented from being destroyed. Therefore, he was always grateful and tried his best. Help the people in Kaifeng Mansion.
Every time Xiao Liu pays special attention to the big and small things in Kaifeng Mansion, especially the things that people in the yamen in the streets and alleys can't inquire about, so that if Zhan Zhao and the others ask anything, he might be able to help.
When the wine was delivered today, Zhan Zhao asked him, "Xiao Liu, is there anything new in Kaifeng Mansion recently?" There are quite a few Mr. Zhan, and there was a personal death lawsuit a while ago, do you know that? "
"Really?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Zhan Zhao had just returned to Kaifeng Mansion and heard a lot of things but he didn't hear about the life lawsuit. He was a little curious and pulled a stool over for Xiao Liu Sit down, "Tell me in detail."
"Yeah." Xiao Liu nodded and sat down, telling the two, "As far as I know, the murder case of this person has not been handed over to Kaifeng Mansion."
"Why?" Zhan Zhao wondered, if someone died in Kaifeng, is there any reason not to handle it with Kaifeng Mansion?
"Because it's a vendetta, I went to inquire about it." Xiao Liu told the two, "It is said that Luo Qingshan, the head of the Qingshan Escort Bureau in the suburbs of Kaifeng, picked up a dart, and only found out what it was when he received it. A fatal disaster."
"Ghost darts..." Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned slightly, the ghost darts were the ones who were most afraid of running the dart bureau.
The so-called ghost dart is a figurative term, just like a dart entrusted to you by a ghost.And in the dart box is something very important, or something terrible.Keeping them in the bodyguards will bring about murder, and losing them will kill you, even if you look at them, you will lose your head. Such kind of darts are called ghost darts.
Generally, most of the people who come to entrust ghost escorts have enmity with the escort agency itself, and are quite capable... After all, there are so many experts in the escort agency, it is not easy to kill people and silence them easily.
"Later, Luo Qingshan died suddenly. The person who killed him came and went without a trace. His wife was lying on the same bed with him. When he got up the next morning, the husband's head fell to the ground. The daughter-in-law was scared He died. It is said that on the wall of Luo Qingshan's house, the words "blood debts and blood repayment" were written in blood. When the guards and guards saw that the head of the family was dead, they searched the family's money and dispersed. There is a 13-year-old girl left behind, who is Luo Qingshan's daughter."
Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, "Those elders are too outrageous!"
"That's right, that girl was later taken in by Lu Tiexin, the pillar of the Iron Head Sect. It seems that the head of the Iron Sect is Luo Qingshan's former friend." Xiao Liu heard it very clearly, and said the rules are also in order.
Bai Yutang shook his head lightly, "Luo Qingshan is an honest man, how did he suffer such a disaster?"
"This is not a standard Jianghu vendetta. It looks like revenge. Why didn't you report it?" Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out. If Mr. Bao found out about this, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
"Sect Leader Lu refuses to report to the officials, saying that it's time for retribution, so let's cut it off like this." Xiao Liu shrugged, "Sect Leader Lu is a person with status, and everyone knows that he is powerful, so since he has spoken , and the body was cremated..."
"What?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both startled, "Cremated?"
People in the Jianghu have rules, the so-called blood debt, if the person is killed, the body must be kept until the same family or friends help find the murderer and sacrifice blood in front of the body before cremation or burial.What Lu Tiexin meant... Could it be that he didn't even take revenge?
For people in Jianghu, hatred is something bigger than the sky, especially the hatred of killing people. With Lu Tiexin's strength, there is no reason not to take revenge!Could it be that there is something hidden?
"In short, very few people know about this matter. There may be some reason why people in the Jianghu did not spread it." Xiao Liu said, and then said with a smile, "There are no other murders and arson, but there are a few new oirans, and there are a lot of people. I entered the piano hall, mother, that Qin Ji, Mrs. Luo Xin is really a beauty!"
When Zhan Zhao heard this, he raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang—a beauty?Do you know me, Merry Mouse?
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao dumbfounded. Speaking of which, he was proficient in all kinds of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although he was not very willing to participate in the qin festival, he had a good relationship with several famous qin girls in the world.But Mrs. Luoxin, I have never heard of it. The piano art hall that is still open in Kaifeng Mansion should have some powerful background.
After the two of them had finished eating, Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes to watch Bai Yutang pay the bill, and Bai Yutang teased him mildly, "Aren't you going to let me have a soft meal? Why do I still pay the bill?"
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I treat you, you pay the money."
Bai Yutang shook his head, dignifiedly showing off a hero, he actually left him here to play hooliganism.
After eating and drinking enough, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked around the streets together.
He hasn't been here for a year, and he doesn't recognize several shops, so he needs to recognize them.
The two passed an alley, and saw people lined up at the entrance of the alley, each of them scrambling over each other, not knowing what to buy.
Zhan Zhao grabbed a middle-aged man and asked, "Hey, big brother, what are you queuing up to buy?"
"Yo." The big man was happy when he saw Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, are you back? We're queuing up to buy duck necks."
"Duck neck?" Zhan Zhao had a smile on his face, "Whose duck neck has so many people come to buy it?"
"It's a shop opened by a famous chef in Sichuan who just came to Kaifeng. The duck necks they sell are spicy and delicious!" The big man praised repeatedly, "My daughter-in-law couldn't quit after eating it once. some."
At this time, someone from the front had already bought a bag full and came back. He was a clerk in a pharmacy, and he knew Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang very well.
When Zhan Zhao asked, he handed it over, "Master Zhan, try it!"
Zhan Zhao was embarrassed, but Bai Yutang reached out and took a small piece, tasted it, and nodded to Zhan Zhao calmly, "Yes, not bad."
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang in surprise, this person was always picky, it was hard to get him to say it was good, so he took one to try...just stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite.
"hiss……"
Zhan Zhao fanned the wind with his mouth open, "It's so spicy!"
Seeing Zhan Zhao's red face, everyone around laughed, "Master Zhan, this duck neck is super spicy, if you can't eat spicy food, don't eat it." Saying that, he pointed at the signboard that he had just lifted up.
Zhan Zhao raised his face and took a look, and saw the words on the signboard—Spicy to death cat duck neck.
"Ahem..." Bai Yutang couldn't help coughing.
Zhan Zhao got angry when it was too spicy, and rushed to the herbal tea shop across the street to drink tea to relieve the spicy heat, and he still complained in his heart, that group of sons, fathers and fellow villagers were too unreliable, they ganged up to play him.
Bai Yutang happily went over, and asked for a bowl of herbal tea to clear his throat. The spiciness was fierce and powerful. It's strange that so many people like it, probably because they are addicted to spicy food.Zhan Zhao can't take spicy food very much, but boiled fish and boiled meat can still bear it, this spicy duck neck...isn't it too spicy to kill a cat.
"Huhu..." Zhan Zhao's tongue was a little numb, and he said vaguely, "Why is it so spicy, so many people eat it?"
While speaking, he saw a sedan chair carried by on a small path ahead.It was an ordinary sedan chair, carried by four people... Actually it was nothing, but the two people following the sedan chair caught Zhan Zhao's attention.
"Huh?" Zhan Zhao touched his chin and stood there, staring at the people in the distance in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yutang looked at him.
"Maybe I misunderstood...it's unlikely." Zhan Zhao said, walking forward, and when he reached the small road, he saw that the sedan chair just turned out and went onto the opposite main road, and the two people walking beside the sedan chair went to the other side of the road. Let him see it, see it clearly this time, Zhan Zhao frowned suspiciously.
"Hello." Seeing Zhan Zhao's nagging, Bai Yutang reached out and snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, "What's wrong with you? Did you see a ghost?"
Zhan Zhao pointed to the front, "I just took the sedan chair..." Saying that, he dragged Bai Yutang after him.
"What happened to the sedan chair?"
"I know the two people walking beside the sedan chair. One is the emperor's personal bodyguard, He Gao, an eunuch expert, and the other is the little eunuch Xiaodouzi who has been serving him." Zhan Zhao walked out of the alley, and saw the sedan chair enter Another alley stopped in front of an exquisite courtyard.
The courtyard seems to be lush with trees, and there is a small three-story building on the west side, which is very elegant.
"The location of this building is good." Bai Yutang said, "The main entrance should be built facing the lake. Why did Zhao Zhen come here alone? He only brought a few people with him."
The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched and he looked at Bai Yutang, "Why do you call him by his name?"
Bai Yutang shrugged slightly, "So what, he can't hear it anyway."
Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky, walked to the intersection and asked an old man who opened a steamed stuffed bun shop directly facing the small courtyard, "Master, where is that small building?"
Seeing that it was Zhan Zhao, the old man said cheerfully, "Master Zhan, don't you know him? It was opened only a few months ago, and that is the Luoxin Pavilion. It is Mrs. Luoxin's Qin Pavilion. In front of it is the Qin Art Museum. Open the door and close the door." Apprentices, but only accept female disciples."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, wondering... Is Zhao Zhen in this sedan chair?What did Zhao Zhen come to the Qin Pavilion?Buying a violin or listening to it?Hide in and out and look inside.
Seeing the small door in the backyard open, sure enough... Xiaodouzi raised the sedan chair curtain, and Zhao Zhen came out of the sedan chair in casual clothes and walked into the courtyard.
Zhan Zhao's curiosity arose, and he and Bai Yutang found a seat in a nearby teahouse to drink tea, staring at the Qin Pavilion.
The teahouse is the best place to inquire about things.You don't need to ask, those chatterers will tell you naturally, the most talked about things are the most sensational things in Kaifeng Mansion these days.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang drank a few cups of tea, and found that the people in the teahouse talked about Qin Pavilion, Shiyu, and duck neck the most.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to laugh, which shows how free everyone in Kaifeng Mansion is recently!
The two of them sat together in the teahouse for an entire afternoon, and it was almost dark after two hours, Zhao Zhen just didn't come out, Zhan Zhao was a little anxious, but Bai Yutang couldn't sit still, "Cat, I'm so tired from sitting, if you I'm really worried, let's go in and have a look."
Zhan Zhao frowned, "That can't be done, I haven't seen Mr. Bao yet when I came back, it would be bad if a recklessness caused him trouble."
Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao like that, as if he used to get into trouble a lot.
Shaking his head and looking into the distance, he saw that the back door of the small courtyard opened and several people came out.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly took a closer look.
He Gao and Xiaodouzi came out first, Xiaodouzi went to raise the curtain of the sedan chair, and He Gao stood guard at the entrance of the alley.
After a while, Zhao Zhen also came out, followed by a woman behind him.Even though they were separated by such a distance, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang still opened their eyes wide and exclaimed - what a beauty!
The beauty behaved dignifiedly and seemed a little delicate, she sent Zhao Zhen out and gave him a salute, Zhao Zhen seemed reluctant to leave, took her hand to say goodbye to her, and got into the sedan chair.As the sedan chair left, he opened the sedan chair curtain and looked behind.
The woman didn't seem to give up, she stood by the wall and waved goodbye to him.
"Heh..." Bai Yutang laughed suddenly, "Ahem."
Zhan Zhao also came back to his senses, the two looked at each other, and realized - they had broken through Zhao Zhen's "adultery"!
Coming out of the teahouse, Zhan Zhao walked back sullenly.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he seemed to be in a bad mood, Bai Yutang patted him, "It's nothing, I guess I came to listen to the piano."
"Hold me to listen to the piano?" Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied, "Concubine Pang just gave birth to a baby, isn't it said that Zhao Zhen loves the child very much? The child came out to fool around just after the first month of life?"
Bai Yutang laughed, "You call him by his name too?"
Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied. He had always been willing to help Mr. Bao solve the case in Kaifeng Mansion. One of the important reasons was that he felt that Zhao Zhen was a benevolent monarch, and he was also a kind and righteous gentleman. What happened today disappointed him greatly.If he hadn't been reluctant to part with Mr. Bao and his brothers from the Kaifeng Mansion, he would have left angrily. Who would do things for this lecherous emperor who has always been promiscuous?Listening to the piano all afternoon, I really have time to spare. Think about it, Mr. Bao is still working hard on the Jade Appreciation Conference.
Seeing that Zhan Zhao seemed to be on the edge, Bai Yutang said, "Maybe we have misunderstood, Zhao Zhen is here to handle business..." Speaking of this, he also lacked confidence.
Zhan Zhao glanced at him with admiration.
Bai Yutang also felt that this statement was untenable, and shook his head, "Is the emperor affectionate? He is the emperor, and even three thousand beauties in the harem are not right, forget it."
Zhan Zhao sighed, lowered his head and walked forward sullenly.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and they felt lively as soon as they entered the gate, and the servants were very busy back and forth.
Zhan Zhao was a little amused, grabbed a little servant who was running towards the kitchen, and asked him, "Oh, why is this?"
"My lord ordered to sweep the dust."
"No need." Zhan Zhao said happily, "They are all from my own family, why do you sweep the dust on purpose?"
The servant was also puzzled, "My family? Are Lord Bao and General Xue relatives?"
This time it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's turn to be stunned, "General Xue?"
"That's right, General Xue Yixing of Beilu has returned to the palace to report on his duties in the past few days, and he has to participate in the Jade Appreciation Conference. The emperor originally asked him to live in Jinting Post House, but he insisted on staying in Kaifeng Mansion."
Zhan Zhao opened his mouth, puzzled, "Why?"
"It seems that he wants to learn from Mr. Bao, and he is drinking tea with Mr. Bao in the study right now." The clerk ran away in a hurry, saying that he was still busy.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were full of doubts - Xue Yixing just ran into that one afternoon?What are you doing here in Kaifeng?
Zhan Zhao was going to the study, but Bai Yutang didn't want to follow, so he said, "I'll go back first, if you want to drink, come find me."
"Hey! Don't you just say you live in Kaifeng?" Zhan Zhao sternly grabbed Bai Yutang's wrist, wanting to leave?It's not that easy!
Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Live in Kaifeng? You only have a separate courtyard and a guest room in Kaifeng. Where will I live if I have guests this time?"
"Live with me!" Zhan Zhao replied confidently, "If you invite me to eat, I will invite you to live in a room."
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Okay, then I'll go get things."
"En." Zhan Zhao nodded, and when he saw Bai Yutang going out, he waved from behind, "Be careful on the road, I'm not here for so many days, it's spring now, be careful not to let the night cat get caught."
Bai Yutang smiled helplessly, Zhan Zhao was usually serious, but he was very serious in front of himself, and it became more serious recently, and he was cheerful all day long.
Bai Yutang left, Zhan Zhao calculated when he would be able to bring the things here, and walked slowly.
After all, living in Kaifeng Mansion, he had to meet each other, so he had to go to the study.
There was chatter and laughter in the study, when Zhan Zhao went to the door and looked in, Bao Zheng stared straight at him.
In fact, Bao Zheng got the news this morning that Zhan Zhao is back, and they have been together for many years, and they have been through life and death together many times, and their relationship is deep.Bao Zheng treated Zhan Zhao like his own son, hurried back before finishing the work, and had only seen him since noon.It's just that Zhan Zhao heard that he was going out, and Bao Zheng was also anxious. After so many years, this child still has the same habits of the world, he doesn't want to stay in the government office, and always runs out.As soon as Pang Ji said that Bai Yutang had also come, Bao Zheng understood to himself - no wonder he didn't come back and was hooked away!
While chatting with Xue Yixing, when he saw a figure swaying at the door, Bao Zheng quickly stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Show Guard."
Zhan Zhao had no choice but to enter the house, saluted everyone, and saw Xue Yixing and his younger sister Xue Yiling standing aside.Xue Yiling changed into a girl's outfit, and looked at Zhan Zhao's big eyes and blinked.
Bao Zheng pulled Zhan Zhao closer to introduce him to Xue Yixing. Xue Yixing was very polite, and both of them tacitly didn't mention the restaurant just now, and they regarded it as their first meeting.
"Bai Shaoxia didn't come back with you?" Bao Zheng's question made Zhan Zhao blush inexplicably, as if he said Bai Shaoxia was his daughter-in-law, and he came back with him.
"Oh, he's going to the White Mansion to pack his things and come later." Zhan Zhao replied.
"Bai Shaoxia also lives in Kaifeng Mansion?" Xue Yixing was curious, "I heard that he hates people in the officialdom."
"Oh, he hates it." Pang Ji said with a smile on the sidelines, "But he doesn't hate Kaifeng Mansion, and he and Zhanwei are good brothers."
Zhan Zhao laughed twice, Pang Ji seemed to be in a normal mood, Pang Yu came here just now, and probably told him about Taibaiju, and Pang Ji also knew that Xue Yixing wanted to send his sister to split up with his daughter, so his face was naturally pretty not going anywhere.
"Haven't the prince and Mr. Gongsun come back?" Bao Zheng missed everyone, especially the bustling scene when the fourth son, Xiao Liangzi, and two children surrounded him.
"Oh, they'll probably come in a few days." Zhan Zhao replied, knowing that the fourth son hadn't succeeded in bringing him and Bai Yutang together, so he probably wouldn't give up so easily.
"If I can meet the Ninth Prince, it will really be my long-cherished wish." Xue Yixing said with emotion.
Sitting next to Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao felt goosebumps on the back of his neck inexplicably, reached out to touch it, and raised his head... Then why did Xue Yiling always stare at him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
After chatting for a while, Pang Ji said that he was a little tired, so he said goodbye to everyone and went back to the house.
Xue Yixing also wanted to take his sister back to the other courtyard, but Xue Yiling said he wanted to visit Zhan Zhao's house, and Xue Yixing scolded him as soon as he left, and apologized to Zhan Zhao by saying that his sister grew up in the military camp and envied the people in the world, and she didn't look like a girl .
Zhan Zhao naturally said it's all right, Bao Zheng has already cultivated a pair of Dharma eyes, he can see at a glance that this girl is interested in Zhan Zhao, and secretly shakes his head, but it's a pity - Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless.
After everyone left, Bao Zheng pulled Zhan Zhao over to look carefully, nodded, "Okay, I'm not thin."
Zhan Zhao's heart warmed slightly, and he forgot all the frustrating things he encountered today.
Afterwards, Bao Zheng asked Zhan Zhao about the trip, and Zhan Zhao never shied away from Bao Zheng, trusting Bao Zheng like a father, and told everything that happened during this period.
Bao Zheng frowned upon hearing this, "It involves a lot."
Zhan Zhao also nodded, telling Bao Zheng not to be distracted, he can handle it.
Afterwards, the two talked about the preparations for the Jade Appreciation Conference. As they talked, they mentioned that the emperor seemed to be in poor health recently.Bao Zheng was very worried. Zhao Zhen was not in good spirits recently, so that he had to sleep all afternoon every afternoon, and he still didn't see anyone.The empress dowager was very worried, and said that when Mr. Gongsun came back, he must have him give the emperor a consultation.
Zhan Zhao knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, okay, Zhao Zhen pretended to be sick and came out to meet his lover, should I tell Lord Bao about this matter?
Just as he was hesitating, he heard a report from someone outside that the Eighth Prince brought General Zhuge to pay a visit.
Zhan Zhao guessed that General Zhuge should be the relative of Concubine Chai's family, General Zhonglu Zhuge Jinhui.
Bao Zheng took Zhan Zhao to pick him up.
As soon as Bai Yutang arrived at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion with his luggage, he saw a motorcade and horses in front of the gate, shook his head, and simply climbed over the wall of Zhan Zhao's other courtyard, and went into Zhan Zhao's room to pack his things.
Just as he was cleaning up, he heard light footsteps coming from the door.
Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, the voice was sneaky, most of the servants in Kaifeng Mansion were government servants or soldiers, they were rather rude, even the little girls were idiots, who was so cautious?
Stuffing the bundle into Zhan Zhao's bed, Bai Yutang hid behind the screen and listened to the movement outside.
After a while, the door of the room was gently opened, and someone came in to look.
Bai Yutang looked out through the gap between the screens, and found that it was Xue Yiling who met in the afternoon, that woman disguised as a man.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Xue Yiling walked in with peace of mind, walked around the room, sat down by Zhan Zhao's bed, and then looked at the decorations on the table.
Bai Yutang shook his head secretly.
Xue Yiling was looking at Zhan Zhao's daily teapots and cups, when she heard hurried footsteps outside, she was startled, and before she had time to react, the door was pushed open.
The person who came at the door was none other than Pang Yu holding a wine jar.
Pang Yu agreed to have a drink with Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, his father also told him not to hang out with pig friends all the time, and spend more time with outstanding people, so as to gain his own knowledge .
Pang Yu just came back to Kaifeng mansion after looking for a jar of good food.
Zhan Zhao was busy in front and couldn't get away, so he told him that Bai Yutang was probably coming, and he was in his yard, and asked him to find him for a drink.
Pang Yu came in a hurry.As soon as he saw the light on in the room, he barged in, opened the door and shouted, "Brother Bai!" Pang Yu was stunned... There was a girl in the room.
Pang Yu took a closer look with the help of the light, and suddenly slapped his leg, "Oh, why is it you?"
Xue Yiling blushed and pointed at Pang Yu, "You... why are you here?"
Pang Yu was startled, and thought to himself, don't go to the wrong room and break into the girl's boudoir?I don't know if I don't know, but his father didn't break his leg?
I took a step back and looked at the left and right, the yard, and the furnishings in the house—that’s right!It was Zhan Zhao's yard.
Pang Yu was not stupid, he was shrewd and had a stomach full of mischief.
Seeing Xue Yiling's strange expression, he understood it as soon as he rolled his eyes, pointed at her and shouted, "Oh!"
"Keep your voice down!" Xue Yiling was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in. She just thought that everyone had gone to the front hall to accompany the guests, but who knew that Pang Yu, this annoying ghost, would be killed halfway.
"Hehe." Pang Yu looked at Xue Yiling with a smirk, "You coquettish girl, what are you doing sneaking into Brother Zhan's room? Oh... I see, spring is here!"
"You..." Xue Yiling stamped anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Bai Yutang folded his arms behind the screen and listened, wondering why he was so troubled after returning to Kaifeng mansion?
Pang Yu put down the wine jar and waved to Xue Yiling, "I advise you, give up your heart as soon as possible, brother Zhan has a sweetheart."
Xue Yiling was taken aback, and so was Bai Yutang behind the screen.
"What?" Xue Yiling asked for the first time hearing about it, "Who is his sweetheart?"
Pang Yu looked at this girl who was fierce, brutal, and a little short-sighted, which was quite interesting, and said, "His sweetheart is much more handsome than you, more capable than you, richer than you, and his kung fu is a few blocks ahead of you." .”
Bai Yutang was holding his forehead behind the screen... he just thought, besides Zhan Zhao, how many foolish people are there in Kaifeng Mansion?
"You're talking nonsense!" Xue Yiling scolded Pang Yu, "You little crab, you can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth!"
"Oh?" Pang Ji laughed, "You call me a dog, okay! Then I will shout, let people come to see what you are doing!"
"Don't shout!" Xue Yiling stomped his feet anxiously. If people found out about this, they would be laughed at if they really spread it in the future.
"Then you scolded me just now?" Pang Yu teased her with a playful smile and crossed his arms, "Brother Pang Da, come and listen."
Bai Yutang rubbed his brows, the current situation is, in Zhan Zhao's room, he heard Pang Yu molesting a girl, and that girl still has a crush on Zhan Zhao, what is this?Just as he was thinking, he felt something tugging at his sleeve, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a little cat squatting on the flower table at hand, biting his sleeve and flicking its tail.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to grab the little cat, and teased it with his fingers. The cat rubbed against him and meowed.
The two people in the room were startled by the meowing, and Xue Yiling said he wanted to leave, but Pang Yu refused to let her, insisting that she not scold him for calling him Brother Pang.
Just as they were at loggerheads, they heard voices from outside.
Zhan Zhao walked in front holding a quilt, Bai Yutang recognized the bed very much, Zhan Zhao prepared a new quilt for him.
In addition, the Eighth Prince Bao Zheng and the others seemed to have something to talk about, so they asked the young people to drink by themselves.
Zhan Zhao brought Zhuge Jinhui and Xue Yixing to the backyard to drink Pang Yu's wine, thinking that it would be good for everyone to get to know each other.As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of Zhan Zhao's house, they saw Pang Yu and Xue Yiling inside. Xue Yiling's face was flushed with anxiety, and Pang Yu looked like he was watching the show.
Xue Yixing felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead, needless to ask, what is his sister doing here?She guessed everything, and was bumped into by Pang Yu, which made people laugh out loud.
Xue Yiling wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but lowered his head and didn't speak.
Zhan Zhao didn't know much about this, but he just didn't understand, where did that white mouse go?
"Ling'er, what are you doing here?" Xue Yixing asked with a dark face.
"I..." Xue Yiling was crying, but Pang Yu suddenly said, "Oh, I ran into Miss Xue visiting the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion at the gate of the courtyard. Suddenly we saw a figure called 'Hu' approaching, we thought there was an assassin, So after chasing him, the assassin entered Brother Zhan's house, and we also came in to search!"
Xue Yixing breathed a sigh of relief, and Pang Yu was quite interesting and quick to respond.
Xue Yiling glanced at Pang Yu with a complicated expression on his face.
"Assassin..." Zhan Zhao wondered.
Zhuge Jinhui, who had been watching the excitement behind him, suddenly said, "Is that the one behind the screen?"
Both Xue Yiling and Pang Yu were shocked, why is there anyone else in the room?
After a while, Bai Yutang came out from behind the screen, holding a kitten and telling Zhan Zhao without changing his face, "It is the culprit!"
With a "meow", the kitten looked at everyone pitifully, with an innocent expression on its face.
The two of them hadn't tasted Chef Taibaiju's cooking skills for a long time, and they hadn't eaten well after traveling for several days, and they were starving, so they started eating while chatting about the recent situation in Kaifeng Mansion.
A guy from Taibaiju came in to deliver the food. This guy was called Xiao Liu, and he was very clever.Xiaoliu's father was originally a hunter, and he was involved in a murder case and almost lost his life. Fortunately, Mr. Bao cleared him of the crime, and his family was prevented from being destroyed. Therefore, he was always grateful and tried his best. Help the people in Kaifeng Mansion.
Every time Xiao Liu pays special attention to the big and small things in Kaifeng Mansion, especially the things that people in the yamen in the streets and alleys can't inquire about, so that if Zhan Zhao and the others ask anything, he might be able to help.
When the wine was delivered today, Zhan Zhao asked him, "Xiao Liu, is there anything new in Kaifeng Mansion recently?" There are quite a few Mr. Zhan, and there was a personal death lawsuit a while ago, do you know that? "
"Really?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Zhan Zhao had just returned to Kaifeng Mansion and heard a lot of things but he didn't hear about the life lawsuit. He was a little curious and pulled a stool over for Xiao Liu Sit down, "Tell me in detail."
"Yeah." Xiao Liu nodded and sat down, telling the two, "As far as I know, the murder case of this person has not been handed over to Kaifeng Mansion."
"Why?" Zhan Zhao wondered, if someone died in Kaifeng, is there any reason not to handle it with Kaifeng Mansion?
"Because it's a vendetta, I went to inquire about it." Xiao Liu told the two, "It is said that Luo Qingshan, the head of the Qingshan Escort Bureau in the suburbs of Kaifeng, picked up a dart, and only found out what it was when he received it. A fatal disaster."
"Ghost darts..." Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned slightly, the ghost darts were the ones who were most afraid of running the dart bureau.
The so-called ghost dart is a figurative term, just like a dart entrusted to you by a ghost.And in the dart box is something very important, or something terrible.Keeping them in the bodyguards will bring about murder, and losing them will kill you, even if you look at them, you will lose your head. Such kind of darts are called ghost darts.
Generally, most of the people who come to entrust ghost escorts have enmity with the escort agency itself, and are quite capable... After all, there are so many experts in the escort agency, it is not easy to kill people and silence them easily.
"Later, Luo Qingshan died suddenly. The person who killed him came and went without a trace. His wife was lying on the same bed with him. When he got up the next morning, the husband's head fell to the ground. The daughter-in-law was scared He died. It is said that on the wall of Luo Qingshan's house, the words "blood debts and blood repayment" were written in blood. When the guards and guards saw that the head of the family was dead, they searched the family's money and dispersed. There is a 13-year-old girl left behind, who is Luo Qingshan's daughter."
Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, "Those elders are too outrageous!"
"That's right, that girl was later taken in by Lu Tiexin, the pillar of the Iron Head Sect. It seems that the head of the Iron Sect is Luo Qingshan's former friend." Xiao Liu heard it very clearly, and said the rules are also in order.
Bai Yutang shook his head lightly, "Luo Qingshan is an honest man, how did he suffer such a disaster?"
"This is not a standard Jianghu vendetta. It looks like revenge. Why didn't you report it?" Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out. If Mr. Bao found out about this, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
"Sect Leader Lu refuses to report to the officials, saying that it's time for retribution, so let's cut it off like this." Xiao Liu shrugged, "Sect Leader Lu is a person with status, and everyone knows that he is powerful, so since he has spoken , and the body was cremated..."
"What?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both startled, "Cremated?"
People in the Jianghu have rules, the so-called blood debt, if the person is killed, the body must be kept until the same family or friends help find the murderer and sacrifice blood in front of the body before cremation or burial.What Lu Tiexin meant... Could it be that he didn't even take revenge?
For people in Jianghu, hatred is something bigger than the sky, especially the hatred of killing people. With Lu Tiexin's strength, there is no reason not to take revenge!Could it be that there is something hidden?
"In short, very few people know about this matter. There may be some reason why people in the Jianghu did not spread it." Xiao Liu said, and then said with a smile, "There are no other murders and arson, but there are a few new oirans, and there are a lot of people. I entered the piano hall, mother, that Qin Ji, Mrs. Luo Xin is really a beauty!"
When Zhan Zhao heard this, he raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang—a beauty?Do you know me, Merry Mouse?
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao dumbfounded. Speaking of which, he was proficient in all kinds of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although he was not very willing to participate in the qin festival, he had a good relationship with several famous qin girls in the world.But Mrs. Luoxin, I have never heard of it. The piano art hall that is still open in Kaifeng Mansion should have some powerful background.
After the two of them had finished eating, Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes to watch Bai Yutang pay the bill, and Bai Yutang teased him mildly, "Aren't you going to let me have a soft meal? Why do I still pay the bill?"
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I treat you, you pay the money."
Bai Yutang shook his head, dignifiedly showing off a hero, he actually left him here to play hooliganism.
After eating and drinking enough, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked around the streets together.
He hasn't been here for a year, and he doesn't recognize several shops, so he needs to recognize them.
The two passed an alley, and saw people lined up at the entrance of the alley, each of them scrambling over each other, not knowing what to buy.
Zhan Zhao grabbed a middle-aged man and asked, "Hey, big brother, what are you queuing up to buy?"
"Yo." The big man was happy when he saw Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, are you back? We're queuing up to buy duck necks."
"Duck neck?" Zhan Zhao had a smile on his face, "Whose duck neck has so many people come to buy it?"
"It's a shop opened by a famous chef in Sichuan who just came to Kaifeng. The duck necks they sell are spicy and delicious!" The big man praised repeatedly, "My daughter-in-law couldn't quit after eating it once. some."
At this time, someone from the front had already bought a bag full and came back. He was a clerk in a pharmacy, and he knew Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang very well.
When Zhan Zhao asked, he handed it over, "Master Zhan, try it!"
Zhan Zhao was embarrassed, but Bai Yutang reached out and took a small piece, tasted it, and nodded to Zhan Zhao calmly, "Yes, not bad."
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang in surprise, this person was always picky, it was hard to get him to say it was good, so he took one to try...just stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite.
"hiss……"
Zhan Zhao fanned the wind with his mouth open, "It's so spicy!"
Seeing Zhan Zhao's red face, everyone around laughed, "Master Zhan, this duck neck is super spicy, if you can't eat spicy food, don't eat it." Saying that, he pointed at the signboard that he had just lifted up.
Zhan Zhao raised his face and took a look, and saw the words on the signboard—Spicy to death cat duck neck.
"Ahem..." Bai Yutang couldn't help coughing.
Zhan Zhao got angry when it was too spicy, and rushed to the herbal tea shop across the street to drink tea to relieve the spicy heat, and he still complained in his heart, that group of sons, fathers and fellow villagers were too unreliable, they ganged up to play him.
Bai Yutang happily went over, and asked for a bowl of herbal tea to clear his throat. The spiciness was fierce and powerful. It's strange that so many people like it, probably because they are addicted to spicy food.Zhan Zhao can't take spicy food very much, but boiled fish and boiled meat can still bear it, this spicy duck neck...isn't it too spicy to kill a cat.
"Huhu..." Zhan Zhao's tongue was a little numb, and he said vaguely, "Why is it so spicy, so many people eat it?"
While speaking, he saw a sedan chair carried by on a small path ahead.It was an ordinary sedan chair, carried by four people... Actually it was nothing, but the two people following the sedan chair caught Zhan Zhao's attention.
"Huh?" Zhan Zhao touched his chin and stood there, staring at the people in the distance in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yutang looked at him.
"Maybe I misunderstood...it's unlikely." Zhan Zhao said, walking forward, and when he reached the small road, he saw that the sedan chair just turned out and went onto the opposite main road, and the two people walking beside the sedan chair went to the other side of the road. Let him see it, see it clearly this time, Zhan Zhao frowned suspiciously.
"Hello." Seeing Zhan Zhao's nagging, Bai Yutang reached out and snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, "What's wrong with you? Did you see a ghost?"
Zhan Zhao pointed to the front, "I just took the sedan chair..." Saying that, he dragged Bai Yutang after him.
"What happened to the sedan chair?"
"I know the two people walking beside the sedan chair. One is the emperor's personal bodyguard, He Gao, an eunuch expert, and the other is the little eunuch Xiaodouzi who has been serving him." Zhan Zhao walked out of the alley, and saw the sedan chair enter Another alley stopped in front of an exquisite courtyard.
The courtyard seems to be lush with trees, and there is a small three-story building on the west side, which is very elegant.
"The location of this building is good." Bai Yutang said, "The main entrance should be built facing the lake. Why did Zhao Zhen come here alone? He only brought a few people with him."
The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched and he looked at Bai Yutang, "Why do you call him by his name?"
Bai Yutang shrugged slightly, "So what, he can't hear it anyway."
Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky, walked to the intersection and asked an old man who opened a steamed stuffed bun shop directly facing the small courtyard, "Master, where is that small building?"
Seeing that it was Zhan Zhao, the old man said cheerfully, "Master Zhan, don't you know him? It was opened only a few months ago, and that is the Luoxin Pavilion. It is Mrs. Luoxin's Qin Pavilion. In front of it is the Qin Art Museum. Open the door and close the door." Apprentices, but only accept female disciples."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, wondering... Is Zhao Zhen in this sedan chair?What did Zhao Zhen come to the Qin Pavilion?Buying a violin or listening to it?Hide in and out and look inside.
Seeing the small door in the backyard open, sure enough... Xiaodouzi raised the sedan chair curtain, and Zhao Zhen came out of the sedan chair in casual clothes and walked into the courtyard.
Zhan Zhao's curiosity arose, and he and Bai Yutang found a seat in a nearby teahouse to drink tea, staring at the Qin Pavilion.
The teahouse is the best place to inquire about things.You don't need to ask, those chatterers will tell you naturally, the most talked about things are the most sensational things in Kaifeng Mansion these days.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang drank a few cups of tea, and found that the people in the teahouse talked about Qin Pavilion, Shiyu, and duck neck the most.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to laugh, which shows how free everyone in Kaifeng Mansion is recently!
The two of them sat together in the teahouse for an entire afternoon, and it was almost dark after two hours, Zhao Zhen just didn't come out, Zhan Zhao was a little anxious, but Bai Yutang couldn't sit still, "Cat, I'm so tired from sitting, if you I'm really worried, let's go in and have a look."
Zhan Zhao frowned, "That can't be done, I haven't seen Mr. Bao yet when I came back, it would be bad if a recklessness caused him trouble."
Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao like that, as if he used to get into trouble a lot.
Shaking his head and looking into the distance, he saw that the back door of the small courtyard opened and several people came out.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly took a closer look.
He Gao and Xiaodouzi came out first, Xiaodouzi went to raise the curtain of the sedan chair, and He Gao stood guard at the entrance of the alley.
After a while, Zhao Zhen also came out, followed by a woman behind him.Even though they were separated by such a distance, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang still opened their eyes wide and exclaimed - what a beauty!
The beauty behaved dignifiedly and seemed a little delicate, she sent Zhao Zhen out and gave him a salute, Zhao Zhen seemed reluctant to leave, took her hand to say goodbye to her, and got into the sedan chair.As the sedan chair left, he opened the sedan chair curtain and looked behind.
The woman didn't seem to give up, she stood by the wall and waved goodbye to him.
"Heh..." Bai Yutang laughed suddenly, "Ahem."
Zhan Zhao also came back to his senses, the two looked at each other, and realized - they had broken through Zhao Zhen's "adultery"!
Coming out of the teahouse, Zhan Zhao walked back sullenly.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he seemed to be in a bad mood, Bai Yutang patted him, "It's nothing, I guess I came to listen to the piano."
"Hold me to listen to the piano?" Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied, "Concubine Pang just gave birth to a baby, isn't it said that Zhao Zhen loves the child very much? The child came out to fool around just after the first month of life?"
Bai Yutang laughed, "You call him by his name too?"
Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied. He had always been willing to help Mr. Bao solve the case in Kaifeng Mansion. One of the important reasons was that he felt that Zhao Zhen was a benevolent monarch, and he was also a kind and righteous gentleman. What happened today disappointed him greatly.If he hadn't been reluctant to part with Mr. Bao and his brothers from the Kaifeng Mansion, he would have left angrily. Who would do things for this lecherous emperor who has always been promiscuous?Listening to the piano all afternoon, I really have time to spare. Think about it, Mr. Bao is still working hard on the Jade Appreciation Conference.
Seeing that Zhan Zhao seemed to be on the edge, Bai Yutang said, "Maybe we have misunderstood, Zhao Zhen is here to handle business..." Speaking of this, he also lacked confidence.
Zhan Zhao glanced at him with admiration.
Bai Yutang also felt that this statement was untenable, and shook his head, "Is the emperor affectionate? He is the emperor, and even three thousand beauties in the harem are not right, forget it."
Zhan Zhao sighed, lowered his head and walked forward sullenly.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and they felt lively as soon as they entered the gate, and the servants were very busy back and forth.
Zhan Zhao was a little amused, grabbed a little servant who was running towards the kitchen, and asked him, "Oh, why is this?"
"My lord ordered to sweep the dust."
"No need." Zhan Zhao said happily, "They are all from my own family, why do you sweep the dust on purpose?"
The servant was also puzzled, "My family? Are Lord Bao and General Xue relatives?"
This time it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's turn to be stunned, "General Xue?"
"That's right, General Xue Yixing of Beilu has returned to the palace to report on his duties in the past few days, and he has to participate in the Jade Appreciation Conference. The emperor originally asked him to live in Jinting Post House, but he insisted on staying in Kaifeng Mansion."
Zhan Zhao opened his mouth, puzzled, "Why?"
"It seems that he wants to learn from Mr. Bao, and he is drinking tea with Mr. Bao in the study right now." The clerk ran away in a hurry, saying that he was still busy.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were full of doubts - Xue Yixing just ran into that one afternoon?What are you doing here in Kaifeng?
Zhan Zhao was going to the study, but Bai Yutang didn't want to follow, so he said, "I'll go back first, if you want to drink, come find me."
"Hey! Don't you just say you live in Kaifeng?" Zhan Zhao sternly grabbed Bai Yutang's wrist, wanting to leave?It's not that easy!
Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Live in Kaifeng? You only have a separate courtyard and a guest room in Kaifeng. Where will I live if I have guests this time?"
"Live with me!" Zhan Zhao replied confidently, "If you invite me to eat, I will invite you to live in a room."
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Okay, then I'll go get things."
"En." Zhan Zhao nodded, and when he saw Bai Yutang going out, he waved from behind, "Be careful on the road, I'm not here for so many days, it's spring now, be careful not to let the night cat get caught."
Bai Yutang smiled helplessly, Zhan Zhao was usually serious, but he was very serious in front of himself, and it became more serious recently, and he was cheerful all day long.
Bai Yutang left, Zhan Zhao calculated when he would be able to bring the things here, and walked slowly.
After all, living in Kaifeng Mansion, he had to meet each other, so he had to go to the study.
There was chatter and laughter in the study, when Zhan Zhao went to the door and looked in, Bao Zheng stared straight at him.
In fact, Bao Zheng got the news this morning that Zhan Zhao is back, and they have been together for many years, and they have been through life and death together many times, and their relationship is deep.Bao Zheng treated Zhan Zhao like his own son, hurried back before finishing the work, and had only seen him since noon.It's just that Zhan Zhao heard that he was going out, and Bao Zheng was also anxious. After so many years, this child still has the same habits of the world, he doesn't want to stay in the government office, and always runs out.As soon as Pang Ji said that Bai Yutang had also come, Bao Zheng understood to himself - no wonder he didn't come back and was hooked away!
While chatting with Xue Yixing, when he saw a figure swaying at the door, Bao Zheng quickly stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Show Guard."
Zhan Zhao had no choice but to enter the house, saluted everyone, and saw Xue Yixing and his younger sister Xue Yiling standing aside.Xue Yiling changed into a girl's outfit, and looked at Zhan Zhao's big eyes and blinked.
Bao Zheng pulled Zhan Zhao closer to introduce him to Xue Yixing. Xue Yixing was very polite, and both of them tacitly didn't mention the restaurant just now, and they regarded it as their first meeting.
"Bai Shaoxia didn't come back with you?" Bao Zheng's question made Zhan Zhao blush inexplicably, as if he said Bai Shaoxia was his daughter-in-law, and he came back with him.
"Oh, he's going to the White Mansion to pack his things and come later." Zhan Zhao replied.
"Bai Shaoxia also lives in Kaifeng Mansion?" Xue Yixing was curious, "I heard that he hates people in the officialdom."
"Oh, he hates it." Pang Ji said with a smile on the sidelines, "But he doesn't hate Kaifeng Mansion, and he and Zhanwei are good brothers."
Zhan Zhao laughed twice, Pang Ji seemed to be in a normal mood, Pang Yu came here just now, and probably told him about Taibaiju, and Pang Ji also knew that Xue Yixing wanted to send his sister to split up with his daughter, so his face was naturally pretty not going anywhere.
"Haven't the prince and Mr. Gongsun come back?" Bao Zheng missed everyone, especially the bustling scene when the fourth son, Xiao Liangzi, and two children surrounded him.
"Oh, they'll probably come in a few days." Zhan Zhao replied, knowing that the fourth son hadn't succeeded in bringing him and Bai Yutang together, so he probably wouldn't give up so easily.
"If I can meet the Ninth Prince, it will really be my long-cherished wish." Xue Yixing said with emotion.
Sitting next to Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao felt goosebumps on the back of his neck inexplicably, reached out to touch it, and raised his head... Then why did Xue Yiling always stare at him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
After chatting for a while, Pang Ji said that he was a little tired, so he said goodbye to everyone and went back to the house.
Xue Yixing also wanted to take his sister back to the other courtyard, but Xue Yiling said he wanted to visit Zhan Zhao's house, and Xue Yixing scolded him as soon as he left, and apologized to Zhan Zhao by saying that his sister grew up in the military camp and envied the people in the world, and she didn't look like a girl .
Zhan Zhao naturally said it's all right, Bao Zheng has already cultivated a pair of Dharma eyes, he can see at a glance that this girl is interested in Zhan Zhao, and secretly shakes his head, but it's a pity - Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless.
After everyone left, Bao Zheng pulled Zhan Zhao over to look carefully, nodded, "Okay, I'm not thin."
Zhan Zhao's heart warmed slightly, and he forgot all the frustrating things he encountered today.
Afterwards, Bao Zheng asked Zhan Zhao about the trip, and Zhan Zhao never shied away from Bao Zheng, trusting Bao Zheng like a father, and told everything that happened during this period.
Bao Zheng frowned upon hearing this, "It involves a lot."
Zhan Zhao also nodded, telling Bao Zheng not to be distracted, he can handle it.
Afterwards, the two talked about the preparations for the Jade Appreciation Conference. As they talked, they mentioned that the emperor seemed to be in poor health recently.Bao Zheng was very worried. Zhao Zhen was not in good spirits recently, so that he had to sleep all afternoon every afternoon, and he still didn't see anyone.The empress dowager was very worried, and said that when Mr. Gongsun came back, he must have him give the emperor a consultation.
Zhan Zhao knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, okay, Zhao Zhen pretended to be sick and came out to meet his lover, should I tell Lord Bao about this matter?
Just as he was hesitating, he heard a report from someone outside that the Eighth Prince brought General Zhuge to pay a visit.
Zhan Zhao guessed that General Zhuge should be the relative of Concubine Chai's family, General Zhonglu Zhuge Jinhui.
Bao Zheng took Zhan Zhao to pick him up.
As soon as Bai Yutang arrived at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion with his luggage, he saw a motorcade and horses in front of the gate, shook his head, and simply climbed over the wall of Zhan Zhao's other courtyard, and went into Zhan Zhao's room to pack his things.
Just as he was cleaning up, he heard light footsteps coming from the door.
Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, the voice was sneaky, most of the servants in Kaifeng Mansion were government servants or soldiers, they were rather rude, even the little girls were idiots, who was so cautious?
Stuffing the bundle into Zhan Zhao's bed, Bai Yutang hid behind the screen and listened to the movement outside.
After a while, the door of the room was gently opened, and someone came in to look.
Bai Yutang looked out through the gap between the screens, and found that it was Xue Yiling who met in the afternoon, that woman disguised as a man.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Xue Yiling walked in with peace of mind, walked around the room, sat down by Zhan Zhao's bed, and then looked at the decorations on the table.
Bai Yutang shook his head secretly.
Xue Yiling was looking at Zhan Zhao's daily teapots and cups, when she heard hurried footsteps outside, she was startled, and before she had time to react, the door was pushed open.
The person who came at the door was none other than Pang Yu holding a wine jar.
Pang Yu agreed to have a drink with Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, his father also told him not to hang out with pig friends all the time, and spend more time with outstanding people, so as to gain his own knowledge .
Pang Yu just came back to Kaifeng mansion after looking for a jar of good food.
Zhan Zhao was busy in front and couldn't get away, so he told him that Bai Yutang was probably coming, and he was in his yard, and asked him to find him for a drink.
Pang Yu came in a hurry.As soon as he saw the light on in the room, he barged in, opened the door and shouted, "Brother Bai!" Pang Yu was stunned... There was a girl in the room.
Pang Yu took a closer look with the help of the light, and suddenly slapped his leg, "Oh, why is it you?"
Xue Yiling blushed and pointed at Pang Yu, "You... why are you here?"
Pang Yu was startled, and thought to himself, don't go to the wrong room and break into the girl's boudoir?I don't know if I don't know, but his father didn't break his leg?
I took a step back and looked at the left and right, the yard, and the furnishings in the house—that’s right!It was Zhan Zhao's yard.
Pang Yu was not stupid, he was shrewd and had a stomach full of mischief.
Seeing Xue Yiling's strange expression, he understood it as soon as he rolled his eyes, pointed at her and shouted, "Oh!"
"Keep your voice down!" Xue Yiling was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in. She just thought that everyone had gone to the front hall to accompany the guests, but who knew that Pang Yu, this annoying ghost, would be killed halfway.
"Hehe." Pang Yu looked at Xue Yiling with a smirk, "You coquettish girl, what are you doing sneaking into Brother Zhan's room? Oh... I see, spring is here!"
"You..." Xue Yiling stamped anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Bai Yutang folded his arms behind the screen and listened, wondering why he was so troubled after returning to Kaifeng mansion?
Pang Yu put down the wine jar and waved to Xue Yiling, "I advise you, give up your heart as soon as possible, brother Zhan has a sweetheart."
Xue Yiling was taken aback, and so was Bai Yutang behind the screen.
"What?" Xue Yiling asked for the first time hearing about it, "Who is his sweetheart?"
Pang Yu looked at this girl who was fierce, brutal, and a little short-sighted, which was quite interesting, and said, "His sweetheart is much more handsome than you, more capable than you, richer than you, and his kung fu is a few blocks ahead of you." .”
Bai Yutang was holding his forehead behind the screen... he just thought, besides Zhan Zhao, how many foolish people are there in Kaifeng Mansion?
"You're talking nonsense!" Xue Yiling scolded Pang Yu, "You little crab, you can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth!"
"Oh?" Pang Ji laughed, "You call me a dog, okay! Then I will shout, let people come to see what you are doing!"
"Don't shout!" Xue Yiling stomped his feet anxiously. If people found out about this, they would be laughed at if they really spread it in the future.
"Then you scolded me just now?" Pang Yu teased her with a playful smile and crossed his arms, "Brother Pang Da, come and listen."
Bai Yutang rubbed his brows, the current situation is, in Zhan Zhao's room, he heard Pang Yu molesting a girl, and that girl still has a crush on Zhan Zhao, what is this?Just as he was thinking, he felt something tugging at his sleeve, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a little cat squatting on the flower table at hand, biting his sleeve and flicking its tail.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to grab the little cat, and teased it with his fingers. The cat rubbed against him and meowed.
The two people in the room were startled by the meowing, and Xue Yiling said he wanted to leave, but Pang Yu refused to let her, insisting that she not scold him for calling him Brother Pang.
Just as they were at loggerheads, they heard voices from outside.
Zhan Zhao walked in front holding a quilt, Bai Yutang recognized the bed very much, Zhan Zhao prepared a new quilt for him.
In addition, the Eighth Prince Bao Zheng and the others seemed to have something to talk about, so they asked the young people to drink by themselves.
Zhan Zhao brought Zhuge Jinhui and Xue Yixing to the backyard to drink Pang Yu's wine, thinking that it would be good for everyone to get to know each other.As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of Zhan Zhao's house, they saw Pang Yu and Xue Yiling inside. Xue Yiling's face was flushed with anxiety, and Pang Yu looked like he was watching the show.
Xue Yixing felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead, needless to ask, what is his sister doing here?She guessed everything, and was bumped into by Pang Yu, which made people laugh out loud.
Xue Yiling wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but lowered his head and didn't speak.
Zhan Zhao didn't know much about this, but he just didn't understand, where did that white mouse go?
"Ling'er, what are you doing here?" Xue Yixing asked with a dark face.
"I..." Xue Yiling was crying, but Pang Yu suddenly said, "Oh, I ran into Miss Xue visiting the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion at the gate of the courtyard. Suddenly we saw a figure called 'Hu' approaching, we thought there was an assassin, So after chasing him, the assassin entered Brother Zhan's house, and we also came in to search!"
Xue Yixing breathed a sigh of relief, and Pang Yu was quite interesting and quick to respond.
Xue Yiling glanced at Pang Yu with a complicated expression on his face.
"Assassin..." Zhan Zhao wondered.
Zhuge Jinhui, who had been watching the excitement behind him, suddenly said, "Is that the one behind the screen?"
Both Xue Yiling and Pang Yu were shocked, why is there anyone else in the room?
After a while, Bai Yutang came out from behind the screen, holding a kitten and telling Zhan Zhao without changing his face, "It is the culprit!"
With a "meow", the kitten looked at everyone pitifully, with an innocent expression on its face.
