The Legend of the Royal Cat

palace, imperial study

Renzong watched in amazement that the two emperor uncles came to meet the saint at the same time. Bao Zheng also ignored the case and followed behind the eight virtuous kings. "The two royal uncles came to see me together, what is there to do?"

"Please the emperor give Princess Huaishuo a marriage!" King Huai was still talking nonchalantly.

Suddenly propose marriage at this time? !Renzong was taken aback for a moment, while the Eight Sage Kings also stood there dumbfounded, only Bao Zheng smiled knowingly.It was easy to recover, "I don't know if the son-in-law chosen by the emperor for Ling'er is—"

"The fourth rank of the imperial guard guards Zhan Zhao with a sword!" Renzong was completely stunned, and the Baxian King obviously forgot that this was his original intention.

"Uncle Huang, Zhan Zhao rescued the female assassin who assassinated the Uncle Huang on his own, committing an unforgivable crime, yet Uncle Huang wants to recruit him as his son-in-law?!"

"That's right! The emperor promised me that I can bring back all my people, and the guards of Zhan should be brought back by me! The assassin assassinated me. If I don't pursue the matter, the assassination doesn't exist, and Zhan Zhao is innocent! Ling'er's son-in-law is not guilty, so please ask the emperor to marry him!" King Huai stated his reason and request confidently.

this is okay too? !Even the Eight Sage Kings are completely speechless, King Huai must have been sent by my ancestors of the Zhao family to collect debts, otherwise how could it be such a headache? !

"That's it, I agree! Come, pass on my decree, and order the Ministry of Punishment to immediately release the guard Zhan! Another decree is to bestow the first four ranks of the imperial guard Zhan Zhao and Princess Huaishuo as guards with swords—"

"Hold on, Your Majesty!" Bao Zheng stepped forward to stop him.

"Bao Zheng, I want to pardon Zhan Huwei, what's wrong?"

"Qi Zou the emperor, the state-owned state-law family has family rules, before the matter is investigated, release the guards, and immediately grant a marriage, there is suspicion of favoritism, and it will damage the emperor's sage!"

Good Bao Zheng, if you don't force me to tell the truth, I will never give up!Eight Wise Kings sighed resignedly, glanced at the slightly surprised King Huai, and said: "Qi Zou Emperor, I have something important to play!"

Hall of the Ministry of Justice

Although one person was kneeling in front of the hall, he still stood tall and straight, with blood oozing from his snow-white prison clothes, and his hands, which had turned purple and bloody, were tightly bound behind his back.

"Master Ding, as a prisoner, he is so arrogant. He is clearly contemptuous of the court. According to this old man, he should kill his vigor and let the guards know his current identity!" Pang Ji said proudly, stroking Fugui Hu.

"What the grand master said is true! Come here, and you will be sentenced to twenty sticks!" Ding Shangshu roared.

A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth, hum, why is there no excuse for wanting to commit a crime?

The executioner had already received the secret order from Tie Jiu, so he had tampered with the staff beforehand, and at this moment he ruthlessly greeted Zhan Zhao's back.

Zhan Zhao had no internal strength to protect his body at this time, and the moment the punishment rod hit his heart hard, a mouthful of bruises spurted out, and the burrs deliberately repaired on the rod when the punishment rod left his body even scratched Zhan Zhao's prison clothes.The punishment stick was lowered and raised one after another, Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood that gushed out, not to let Pang Ji see his pride.After the execution, Zhan Zhao's prison clothes were torn to pieces.

"Well, the case can now be heard!" Pang Ji narrowed his eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

"Grand Master Qi, two adults, please allow your subordinates to inspect Zhan Zhao's injuries first!" Tie Jiu suddenly stepped forward to ask for instructions.

Grand Master Pang raised his eyebrows slightly. The purple-winged demon girl once said that there would be a windfall today. What could it be?With a sneer, "Yeah!"

With a gloomy face, Tie Jiu walked up to Zhan Zhao's side, hesitated for a moment, and finally squatted down and reached out to wipe off the blood on Zhan Zhao's back with all his strength, and the ghostly mark caught his eye!Zhan Zhao had just survived the severe pain in his heart, and while he was drowsy, there was another sharp pain in his back, and he finally woke up with a muffled grunt!

"It really is—" Tie Ying pretended to be surprised.

"Tie Butou, what did you find? What kind of imprint is that?" Pang Ji and the others were very curious about what the iron vulture had discovered!

"Returning to my lord, I met a dying disciple of the Tianshan sect in the early years. He told my subordinates that the murderer who washed the Tianshan Mountain 12 years ago had a brand mark on the back of the martial arts demon. The imprint is very similar to what he described, that's why his subordinates noticed it! Guard Zhan, are you the ghost boy from 12 years ago?" Tie Jiu stared at Zhan Zhao with cold eyes, and felt the frown of Zhan Zhao's frown lightly. Trembling, when she was secretly proud, she found that the eyebrows were slowly stretched, revealing firmness again!Zhan Zhao, you won't deny it, escaping isn't your choice, isn't it?

"Oh? It seems that this time, we have discovered the nature of Zhanwei. Who would have thought that Zhanwei, who has always defended legal justice, turned out to be a murderer? This disguise is really perfect! Zhanwei, if you are not a ghost boy, you can Rebuttal!" Sure enough, it was interesting and unexpected, so that Bao Heizi could crush Zhan Zhao with his own hands, and Pang Ji was ecstatic.

"That's right, I'm a ghost boy!" Zhan Zhao calmly told the truth, calmly facing everyone's surprise and surprise gazes.Do you really not deny it?Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao would admit it so simply, Tie Jiu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, Zhan Zhao, don't you really care about the consequences?

"Stupid cat!" Bai Yutang, who had just rushed to the Criminal Department, saw this scene, and couldn't help but curse inwardly. The other party didn't have absolute evidence, so what if he just denied it? !what to do?King Huai hasn't arrived yet, if things go on like this, the cat will have to come here, save it, or not?While Bai Yutang was thinking hard about the countermeasures, Zhan Zhao, who was under the hall, suddenly gave a sly smile, and said leisurely, "Zhan has more energy than he wants, so please ask friends outside to help him!"

"Ah, who is it?!" Only then did Tie Jiu realize that there was someone on the roof.

Crazy, all crazy!The cat took the initiative to escape? !Gotta - I have to go crazy with it!Turning around, the white clothes fluttered, and everyone including Tie Jiu hadn't seen who was coming, and the hall was empty.

"It's wrong! It's wrong! Come here, prepare the sedan chair to enter the palace, the old man wants to face the saint, Zhan Zhao's wrong!" Pang Ji roared angrily.

Zhan Zhao actually escaped?This is what Tie Jiu didn't estimate. If Gui Tongzi really wakes up again, will he be the first target of revenge?No, Zhan Zhao must not live!At this moment, Tie Jiu has made up his mind to reveal Zhan Zhao's identity to the world!

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room, Overcast Clouds

King Huai stood motionless and silent for a long time.

"Uncle——"

"Emperor brother—"

"My lord—"

Renzong, Eight Sage Kings, and Bao Zheng called out cautiously, feeling extremely uneasy in their hearts. King Huai's eyes were empty, and there was no trace of blood on his face!

"Do you know what this king said to Yue'er—she just smiled, and she was willing to stay!?" After a long time, King Huai sighed softly, his eyes gradually revealed infinite tenderness, and whispered, "Yue'er, no matter what happens Whatever happens, I will face it with you! Nothing can separate you and me!"

"But, I didn't keep my promise - I killed Yue'er and our children! What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will hate you, or that I will rebel? Hahaha——" King Huai's laughter was full of pain, "Yue'er is dead, gone forever with hatred and regret! I can't get my Yue'er back even if I level the world—"

"Imperial brother, you, are you okay? Don't do this, your child is still alive, and we can remedy it when she comes back!" Ba Xianwang was afraid that King Huai's old illness would recur, and this time it was really hopeless. up!

"Our child—that assassin is—Zhan Zhao! Bring Zhan Zhao to see me, and take me to find—" Before King Huai could finish speaking, he was already so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and passed out. over!

"Come here, send the imperial doctor!" The imperial study was in chaos.

"Qizou Shengshang, Grand Master Pang asks to see you!"

"No! Why hasn't the imperial physician come?!" Renzong was completely annoyed.

"Your Majesty, the grand master said—that Zhan Zhao was in the courtroom—that he escaped—and that—" the little eunuch tremblingly passed on the message, lamenting to himself that it was hard for him to be on duty today.

"Bao Zheng—your good subordinate!" Renzong gritted his teeth angrily, "I will really pick a time to cause trouble!"

"I'm going to investigate now!" Something must have happened, otherwise Zhan Weiwei would not have suddenly changed his plan.

Royal Hotel, Nanjing Pavilion, West Wing

In order not to worry Ling'er and others, Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang to take him back to the West Wing to avoid the crowd.

"Cat, how is the injury? Why is your internal strength only [-]% left?" Bai Yutang checked Zhan Zhao's internal strength and couldn't help being surprised.

"It's just recovered! It's okay, the effect of the medicine will pass in the evening." Zhan Zhao gasped, "Did something happen? Otherwise, King Huai won't let you go to the Ministry of Punishment."

"It's good to be able to recover!——This is clever! I was knocked out of the head just now, so I admit that I am a ghost boy, don't you think I have lived too long?!" If it wasn't for Zhan Zhao For the sake of not having a good skin in his body, Bai Yutang would definitely give this stupid cat a good beating.

"I don't want to run away anymore! Just give me enough time—Brother Bai, what happened?"

"—To put it simply, there are two things, one is that King Huai is going to ask the emperor to grant you a marriage and ask for forgiveness of your sins, and the other is that it is dangerous for Shuang'er to come to ask for help, and Leng Ruxue is in danger, and besides, you must do it!" Bai Yutang said at the same time. Zhan Zhao applied the golden sore medicine while quickly stating the current situation.

"Brother Bai—"

"This Prince Huai really thinks about it all the time. Sometimes he makes decisions that make people laugh and cry. He actually uses this method to save people!"

"Brother Bai—"

"You, too, never thought that Master Zhan, who abides by the law, would escape from prison on his own initiative, and what a ostentation in the courtroom!—Ah—what's the matter?" Bai Yutang noticed that he had been ignoring Zhan Zhao's protest.

"You wrapped my hands into rice dumplings, how can I hold a sword?!" Zhan Zhao frowned and stared at his wrapped hands.

"Forget it! You still want to take a sword with your claw hurt like this?! You just need to ask Shuang'er where Leng Ruxue is, and leave the rest to me! Stay in the hotel and wait for King Huai If you want an imperial decree, just wait and see old thief Pang jumping around!—Wait, why didn’t you react at all after hearing what happened just now, aren’t you surprised? Don’t worry?!”

"As expected, why are you surprised and anxious?"

"How to say?"

"King Huai suspects the identity of the assassin, so he will definitely ask me for questioning. Coupled with Ling'er's thoughts, he can't let me die in the hands of Grand Master Pang. It is very difficult to rescue me as soon as possible with a method that is almost unreasonable."

"He did it on purpose!?" Sure enough, it was an old fox, and the one in front of him was probably about to mature.

"Besides, at the Holy Maiden's Palace, if the water hadn't been released on purpose, I don't think Shuang'er could have escaped and reported."

"It really is a conspiracy! Is Leng Ruxue okay?"

"No, but there will be no danger of life for the time being. Because their real target is me." Zhan Zhao unwrapped Bai Yutang's wounds one by one, and began to bandage his fingers separately.

"Your harvest this time is this conclusion?" Then the rest is why.

"That's right, the other side doesn't want me to die in the hands of Grand Master Pang, because then I won't have the chance to face the hatred of the whole world. If they lead me out of prison, it will be difficult for the imperial court to pardon me! So, I only have one way to go. , and must personally rescue Ruxue and solve all the sources of doubts."

"What a vicious scheme! Grandpa Bai must also go to learn about this vicious big protector! I'll help you bandage the wound first, let's go find Shuang'er!" This time, the dull cat must not be left alone. , The opponent is too scary!

"There's no need to go to Shuang'er. Let's pay a visit directly! Brother Bai, do you know which brothel in the capital city most people go to?"

"Gah?!——Naturally, it is Chunmanyuan. I heard that the girls there are very good at trying to figure out the thoughts of people in the Jianghu. In addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they can also dance swords! Master Bai, I am most curious about the exclusive spices of Chunmanyuan. A friend in the spice business of Big Brother mentioned it more than once, saying that it can be intoxicating for a moment, unforgettable! Why do you ask this? —— That day in the palace, the fragrance on the dancer’s body was also very strange. I grew up in the pile, and I have never smelled that kind of fragrance, cat, what do you mean—"

"Well, if my guess is correct, Ziyi's disciples are full of firework women. They use this as a cover to inquire about the Central Plains martial arts, and make puppets to kill for them! Then the brothel and red hall are their stronghold in the capital. .Brother Bai, visit the Spring Garden tonight, don’t tell anyone, lest you startle the snake! You should first tell me the news brought by Shuang’er in detail.”

"Count me in, so I'll tell you!" Bai Yutang laughed ghostly.

"Zhan is planning to ask Brother Bai for help!" Zhan Zhao suddenly saluted Bai Yutang solemnly.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, this cat has been getting nervous lately, he must have something on his mind, so he has to keep a close watch on it.Bai Yutang made up his mind and grinned: "Brother Zhan, let's talk!"
