Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss
Chapter 51 3 more in 1
Two years ago, when Qian Jian was making coins, a craftsman named Wang Shuigen slipped and fell into the copper water. He immediately disappeared in the copper water and died without a whole body.The scene was tragic at that time, and it was witnessed by dozens of craftsmen at the same time, which brought a lot of shock.Since then, rumors of ghosts gradually arose in the Qianjian of the household department.
The first time was on the day of Wang Shuigen's first seven days. Someone claimed to have seen Wang Shuigen at night next to the copper water furnace where Wang Shuigen died. After that, two craftsmen also witnessed similar situations.
A year ago, there was a craftsman in the Qianjian. When he passed by the copper water furnace where Wang Shuigen died, he suddenly heard the ghost cry of "I died a terrible death", fainted from fright, and then quit his job. .But the craftsman died mysteriously shortly after returning to his hometown.
Half a year ago, another craftsman claimed that he not only heard ghost calls at night, but also saw ghosts near the copper water furnace.Afterwards, the craftsman fell ill, and he is still not sane.He is most afraid of people mentioning ghosts, and there are words such as Wang Shuigen, Qianjian, and copper water furnace, and he will go crazy when he hears them.
Jin Decai, the chief supervisor of Qian, felt that this was an evil thing, and once asked Taoist priests to practice methods to save Wang Shuigen's undead, but the result was of no avail.After that, there were still people who occasionally heard ghosts screaming at night and shouted the phrase "I died so badly" miserably. Today, three or five people have been frightened by this and have suffered from the disease of leaving the soul, and finally quit their jobs.
Originally, the Qiandongsuo, which also smelted copper and silver at night, will stop working when it gets dark today, just to avoid the recurrence of haunted incidents.
Sun He has always been curious about ghosts.
When she was 13 years old, a family on the same street as her Dongfeng Escort once shouted that it was haunted.Sun He followed children of the same age to squat on the roof of other people's houses at night. It was originally for gaining knowledge and seeing what ghosts look like. Who knew that after guarding for more than half a month, they didn't see half of the ghosts, but they caught them. The hostess of the house secretly committed adultery with the outsider in the middle of the night.
Last year, Sun He heard that there was a dilapidated Town God's Temple on the west side of Tokyo where there were always ghosts screaming. She also went to guard it, and found out that the so-called ghost screams were actually the wind.
"Boss, do you think there are ghosts in this world?" Sun He asked Su Yuan.
"Yes, even if there are no ghosts outside, there are ghosts in people's hearts, so ghosts always exist." Su Yuan said, "Actually, you have already seen it."
"I'm not curious about the ghosts in people's hearts. I want to see the real ghosts outside. I wonder why every time I chase after him, he doesn't come to see me?"
The more ghosts were mentioned, the more Sun He couldn't hold back his curiosity, and wanted to catch a ghost to see what it looked like.Especially in this case, so many witnesses said they saw ghosts, and they clearly heard ghosts screaming.Sun He felt that her blood was running hot, she really wanted to find out.
However, Mr. Bao only assigned the case to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang just now, and didn't let her boss also participate in the investigation of the case of losing money in the household department.
It is said that there are two reasons for this decision: on the one hand, because the craftsmen and officials involved in the Qianjian case of the Ministry of Household Affairs are all men, it is not convenient for women to go to the case because strip searches are involved in the investigation.On the other hand, Master Bao felt sorry for her boss who had worked too hard some time ago, so he specially gave her a few days off to rest.
But without the boss to come forward, Sun He would not be able to go to the household department to find ghosts smoothly.She tried to lobby Su Yuan, and also went to the household department to investigate the case of losing money.
"No." Su Yuan refused flatly.
It was rare for her to rest, and she only planned to eat, drink, and sleep as she pleased.
"Go, go, isn't the boss curious about what a ghost looks like?" Sun He continued to lobby Su Yuan unwillingly.
"Not curious."
Seeing Sun He, Su Yuan still pouted unwillingly, and said to her half-jokingly.
"Curiosity kills people. I haven't seen so many people in the household department die, get sick, and suffer from insanity after seeing ghosts? It's best not to join in this kind of excitement. If ghosts really appear, they might meet you." my life."
"We have a mahogany sword, we can stab it to death with one sword!"
After saying that, Sun He ran back to the house, and found a mahogany sword whose skin was worn smooth and red from her luggage.
Just looking at the color of the sword body, one can tell that it is old, and it has been rubbed and used often.In other words, this is probably a mahogany sword with 'boundless magic power'.
"This is a gift my father got from a highly respected Taoist priest. It is a treasure handed down from the ancestors of that Taoist priest. It is very powerful, and there is absolutely no second one in the world!"
Sun He solemnly presented the Taomu sword with both hands to Su Yuan.
"Now I will dedicate this precious mahogany sword to the boss, please take me to kill ghosts and demons!"
"What do you call it?" Su Yuan asked.
"Precious mahogany sword, this is its name, does it sound expensive?" Sun He asked with a smile.
"Expensive is fine, I don't accept cheap ones." Su Yuan took the sword and weighed it in his hand. It was made of century-old mahogany wood, and it was indeed precious and rare.
"Boss, shouldn't we be afraid of ghosts now? Can we go to the household department to investigate and catch ghosts?" Sun He asked eagerly after he bribed.
Su Yuan really liked this mahogany sword, and felt that this sword should be of great use in the future.Since he was paid, he naturally had to provide services, so Su Yuan agreed to Sun He's request.
"Okay, since you want to catch ghosts so much, I'll go ask Mr. Bao."
"That's great! Boss is the best for me! But will Mr. Bao think that we girls don't go there to investigate the case, and don't agree to us?" Sun He was excited, but also a little worried.
"Just catch ghosts, we don't care about anything else."
……
Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were drinking tea in the study, and they couldn't help but chat about the case they just took over.
Lost silver and haunted, is there really a ghost in it, or is there something else hidden in it?Is the haunting related to the case of losing money?
Gongsun Ce: "What do ghosts do to steal silver? You can't spend anything in the underworld. Even if the ghost is like a treasure in the underworld, you shouldn't just steal three or five taels at a time. The fact that students lose money must have nothing to do with ghosts. Man-made."
Bao Zheng nodded, he also had the same idea as Gongsun Ce.
"The money was only lost for nearly a month, and the haunting has been going on for two years. It would be too long to say that the haunting paves the way for the money to be lost. Besides, the money was only lost for three or five taels at a time. There was such a big fight."
Gongsun Ce paid more attention to the unrelated matters of haunting and money loss. Since the Ministry of Household Affairs could not find out the reason for the loss of money, he felt that the matter was absurd.
Bao Zheng promised: "However, the haunting in Hubu seems to be a bit strange. Most of the haunted rumors are exaggerated, but they just sound absurd. Rare."
"It's really strange." Gongsun Ce felt that compared to the case of losing money, it was the haunting that was more intriguing.
When the two of them were discussing whether to send another person to do a deeper investigation into the haunting, Su Yuan came to invite Ying.
Bao Zheng couldn't help laughing, and said to Gongsun Ce: "I'm afraid this disciple has got your true biography, he can pinch and count, so it's time to do the rain."
Gongsun Ce also thought it was a coincidence, and said to Su Yuan: "My lord and I are discussing whether we should send someone to investigate this ghost."
"It's my honor to relieve my lord and master's worries." Su Yuan immediately saluted and said obediently.
Bao Zheng praised Su Yuanshe's diligence in investigating the case after taking a break, and praised her for her dedication to her duties and her honesty and pragmatism.
"Although I don't know the truth about this haunting, it's always right to take more precautions."
Bao Zheng specifically ordered the accountant to give Su Yuan money to buy some things to drive away ghosts. If there is an accident during the night investigation, it can be used as an emergency.
"Miss Sun is good at martial arts, but you two girls are not safe after all. I will ask Guard Bai to take care of you when I have time." Gongsun Ce added.
Su Yuan nodded, thinking in her heart that she didn't need to buy ghost exorcisms with the money she spent, nothing could compare to that mahogany sword, and it would be great if the money was used to buy meat.
After Su Yuan left, Bao Zheng deliberately asked Gongsun Ce: "Why did you choose the white guard? Isn't it okay to show the guard?"
"Of course." Gongsun Ce agreed.
"Then why?" Bao Zheng saw that Gongsun Ce was rarely fooled by gradients, and he didn't answer his own question directly, but wanted to ask clearly.
"Bai Huwei is more suitable." Gongsun Ce could only answer briefly.
"Then what's wrong with Zhanwei?"
"My lord, you still have a lot of official business to deal with today." Gongsun Ce pointed to the half-foot-high document that he had just sorted out on the table.
"Where is it inappropriate?" Bao Zheng dared to play sloppy with the officials who specialize in investigating cases, how could Bao Zheng spare him, and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Gongsun Ce had no choice but to admit that he was selfish and thought that the two young people seemed quite suitable, so he thought that if there was a chance, he would let the two of them get together more and make a match.
"Okay, you, using the public for personal gain."
Bao Zheng's tone was temporarily unclear whether he was joking or serious.
Mainly because his face is too dark, when he is not smiling or angry, it is difficult to distinguish his true emotions.
"Students, this is just a small push. Only with 'Lan' can they help. If there is no 'Lan' at all, everyone will investigate the case in an orderly manner, and it's nothing."
Gongsun Ce was afraid that Bao Zheng would take the matter too seriously, so he carefully explained his motives for such intentions.
"Su Yatou grew up in Kaifeng Mansion since she was a child, and she can be regarded as the daughter of our Kaifeng Mansion. She has no father or mother, no relatives, and only us by her side. The adults just praised her for being honest and pragmatic, and she has been working hard for the government. How can we fail her when we do things? Now that she is old, if no one worries about her life's affairs for her, it will be a bit desolate and unreasonable."
Gongsun Ce loves Su Yuan so much, since he chose to be her master, he naturally wants to treat Su Yuan sincerely like a father, and plan for her future.
After pondering for a while, Bao Zheng asked Gongsun Ce: "Is the white guard suitable? He has a bit of a temper and is too arrogant."
Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Bao Zheng was seriously considering going to Su Yuan's lifelong event!He even thought that Bai Yutang was not good enough for Su Yuan.Fortunately, this was only said by the two of them in private, if Bai Yutang heard about it, what a mess it would be.
"Could it be that my lord is the guard of Zhongyi Zhan?" Gongsun Ce asked tentatively.
"Guard Zhan is a little old, and he still has peach blossom debts—"
Gongsun Ce was stunned, "Peach Blossom Debt? Why don't students know about this?"
"It's not what you think, but the woman's wishful thinking, just like the Jiahe County Lord." Bao Zheng explained.
"That's not surprising, after all, Nan Xia Zhanzhao is well-known in martial arts." Gongsun Ce commented objectively, "He is righteous, modest and polite, and has many admirers, which is really reasonable."
But with many admirers, as his wife, it is easy to cause jealousy and trouble, which is indeed a 'disadvantage'.Mr. Bao's consideration in this aspect is much more thoughtful than him.
And Bai Yutang had an advantage in this point, because he was famously vicious and vicious, no one in the Jianghu would dare to provoke him casually.Even if there are people who admire and admire him, they can only hide in the dark and never dare to show it on the surface.Because once it is shown, it is very likely that not only will it not be favored by Bai Yutang, but it will also cause Bai Yutang to dislike him and kill him directly.
Therefore, most people in the Jianghu are afraid of Bai Yutang, while many admire him, but there are very few admirers.
Especially considering that Su Yuan has a physique that is prone to trouble.Her previous experience was already bitter enough, Gongsun Ce didn't want Su Yuan to live in trouble in the future.
Furthermore, Gongsun Ce had observed Zhan Zhao's attitude towards Su Yuan long ago, and he took care of his younger sister completely, without any extra affection.On the contrary, it was Bai Yutang, who looked very playful.
"You can't just focus on the ones in our mansion, and then pick and choose the ones outside." Bao Zheng searched all the young men of the right age in the mansion in his mind, and found that none of them completely satisfied him, so he decided to expand the scope.
In the evening, Bao Zheng took a long list and knocked on Gongsun Ce's door.
Gongsun Ce was sitting at the table, quietly listening to Bao Zheng's counting of the relatively good children on the list.
Short stature, crossed out.
Poor appearance, crossed out.
Irritable, crossed out.
The parents at home were unruly and crossed it out.
……
Without waiting for Gongsun Ce to help analyze and discuss together, Bao Zheng crossed out the last name.
None of them are suitable, he feels that none of these people are worthy of Su Yuan.
Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng's distasteful and picky look, and suddenly felt that he, the master's 'father', did not pass Bao Zheng's standards at all, Bao Zheng was the performance that a 'father' who truly loves his daughter too much should have.
"Have you ever thought about it, my lord, these children are all from good families, and I'm afraid it would be very difficult for them to be willing to marry an orphan girl who works as a servant in Kaifeng Mansion."
Although the children on this list do have shortcomings, they are not worthy of Su Yuan.But Gongsun Ce felt that Bao Zheng should still be aware of a problem. This is not a one-sided choice, but a double choice.
"With the government as a guarantor, why not you and I buy her a dowry?" Bao Zheng told Gongsun Ce that he had already considered this aspect, and he could write a letter to show Su Yuan's merits.
"But these aristocratic families are well-behaved. Even if she marries in, she probably won't like the confinement of a big family in a deep house." Seeing that Bao Zheng didn't understand what he meant, Gongsun Ce decided to lobby in a different direction.
It was only then that Bao Zheng understood, "Which is the most suitable choice among these choices, is it true that Bai Weiwei is the most suitable?"
"The family background is good and the rules are high. Those who have no family background are mostly because they have not been educated and have no morals. They are capable of both civil and military skills, have a family background but are not too strict with rules, and have a good appearance. They can give Su Yatou the best respect." , the students currently only see Bai Weiwei."
After Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, he had no choice but to nod.But for some reason, after picking around, he suddenly found that Bai Yutang's shortcoming was not a shortcoming at all.Although he was young and vigorous, it was only because he was too young. If you sharpened him a few times, his temper would naturally calm down.
It seems that his requirements were too harsh at the beginning, and he only thought that Su Yuan should be matched with the best and most perfect man in the world.
"The best is not necessarily good, the right one is the best." Gongsun Ce said with a gentle smile.
"It's my government that has been careless," Bao Zheng reflected on himself, "Mr. Gongsun laughed."
Gongsun Ce shook his head, but expressed his admiration and gratitude to Bao Zheng, "The so-called caring is chaotic. Compared with the students, the adults care more about Su Yuan. The students can see that the adults treat her sincerely, just like their own daughters."
Bao Zheng smiled, picked up a piece of biscuit with the word "Fu" on the plate, and half-jokingly said to Gongsun Ce: "After all, eating people's mouth is short."
Gongsun Ce also took a piece and ate it, jokingly said, "Then let's eat more, talk more and talk less, and treat her better."
Both of them laughed in unison.
……
Su Yuan lay on the roof of a house of Qian Jian in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and sneezed in a muffled voice.
"Boss caught a cold?" Sun He asked wonderingly, but she felt that it was quite hot tonight.
"No." Su Yuan's health is so good that he won't get sick once in 800 years, "It's probably because someone is talking about me."
"I don't know who is talking about it? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Sun He sighed casually, and put a salt and pepper almond into his mouth. While eating, he rolled his round eyes and looked around, waiting for the ghost to come. Appear.
"Who cares about his good or bad things, it's the same with me." Su Yuan stretched her waist and sat down instead, while she put a piece of pork jerky in her mouth.
"Tomorrow, let's prepare some stewed chicken feet. There must be ones with bones. Eat slowly to kill time." Su Yuan sighed, and felt that he should prepare two soft cushions. The roof is a bit hard to sit on.
"Okay, I'll prepare." Just as Sun He agreed straightforwardly, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming, and then smelled a faint and pleasant scent of sandalwood.
A bag of snacks suddenly landed in front of Sun He.
Sun He subconsciously caught it with both hands, and when he looked up, he saw Bai Yutang standing in front of him. He was handsome and dignified like a pine, but people dared not look at him more.
Sun He found that he was still carrying a bag of snacks in his hand, but he bent down and handed it to Su Yuan.
Sun He: "..."
Whether the difference in treatment is so big or not, she can just throw it away!
However, just receiving a pack of dim sum from Chinchilla Bai Yutang was enough for her to enjoy herself in the arena for a while.But not everyone can have the treatment she has, she owes it to the boss.
The more he thought about it, the more contented Sun He was, and he felt that he was amazing.
"Snacks from Yuhelou?" When Su Yuan received the snacks, he saw the three big characters of Yuhelou written on the paper package through the moonlight, and then smelled a faint fragrance of lotus leaves.
"En." Bai Yutang agreed.
This Yuhelou is a dim sum shop newly opened in the capital, but for some reason, it has become famous in the capital after only three days of opening.Su Yuan has always wanted to try it after hearing its name, but unfortunately, he just didn't have time recently.Finally, she should have time, so she and Sun He came to catch ghosts again.
"I heard that all of its dim sum is related to 'lotus'. Every dim sum is made from at least one of lotus leaf, lotus flower, lotus seed or lotus root. I'm curious how delicious the dim sum will be under this method. "
After thanking Bai Yutang, Su Yuan opened the paper bag and smelled a more intense fragrance of lotus leaves.
The lotus leaf is cut into a round shape, and the upper and lower pieces are wrapped with glutinous rice in the middle. When the lotus leaf is peeled off, the jujube paste is the first to eat in the mouth. The wrapped lotus-flavored glutinous rice blends together, which is full of fragrance.After eating the second one, I tasted chestnut stuffing, as well as salty ham stuffing and fresh meat stuffing...
While eating, Su Yuan suddenly realized: "Why does this feel similar to rice dumplings?"
Bai Yutang was silent for a while, and replied, "It seems to be."
"I think it's so fresh, that is, the zong leaves are replaced with lotus leaves, and then made smaller." Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang how much this bag of dim sum cost.
"880 eight articles."
Su Yuan's eyes widened slightly, "The price is so expensive! It's still 880, and even the asking price is a gimmick. For the same money, you can buy three buckets of zongzi with similar taste."
Bai Yutang silently glanced at Su Yuan, but said nothing.
"Of course, I'm not saying that the fifth master's purchase is not good. I have long wanted to try his dim sum. I just feel that their name is not worthy of the name, and it is too deceitful."
Su Yuan was afraid that Bai Yutang might misunderstand, so he explained a little bit.
"But what I don't understand the most is, how can his family become famous in Tokyo with this kind of dim sum?"
"It's a little strange, I'll ask Bai Fu to find out later." Bai Yutang agreed.
"You don't need to go out of your way to inquire about it. Doing business is what you like, and they didn't force us to do anything. At worst, we won't buy it once we've been tricked." Su Yuan gave Bai Yutang the small bag of snacks she brought, Invite him to eat this.
Bai Yutang didn't want it, but got up and wanted to leave, "I'm going to buy some dim sum from Yaoguanglou."
"No need." Knowing that Bai Yutang said it, Su Yuan would do it right away, afraid that he would run away first, so she pulled him in a hurry, just at the cuff of his sleeve, and her fingertip even touched Bai Yutang's little finger.
Bai Yutang looked down at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan withdrew his hand immediately, and explained to Bai Yutang, "It's really unnecessary, I have eaten so many lotus leaf cakes, I can't eat any more."
Dim sum is not fun to eat too much. If you want to be full, you have to eat meat.
Bai Yutang didn't respond, but he didn't look back at Su Yuan——
"Hey, Boss! This dim sum is very interesting. There are several kinds of fillings, sweet and salty. It's so delicious!"
Sun He was in charge of the southeast, and Su Yuan was in charge of the northwest.Sun He was sitting in the opposite direction to Su Yuan, so she didn't see what was going on here just now, so she came over happily.
This just broke the strange atmosphere between Su Yuan and Bai Yutang just now.
"Delicious?" Su Yuan asked Sun He.
"It's delicious." Sun He immediately agreed with a smile, not forgetting to thank Bai Yutang by the way.
Hearing that Yuhelou’s snacks cost 880 yuan for a pack, Sun He lamented that it was really expensive, but it was worth it if it tasted good.
Su Yuan: "Then which is better, this or rice dumplings?"
"Of course it is—" Sun He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, why does this seem to be similar to rice dumplings? Oh my god, if you use the money from buying dim sum to buy rice dumplings, how many big rice dumplings can you buy? Ah. This shop is treating its customers like monkeys! Is it really not a loss to open a shop like this?"
"It's probably sold for fame, and some people will go for it." Su Yuan said.
"I really don't understand." After Sun He sighed angrily, he couldn't help yawning, "Why hasn't this ghost come here? It's almost dawn."
After Sun He finished speaking, he looked at the copper water furnace that killed Wang Shuigen.Now that the furnace is empty because of the shutdown, it looks deep and dark and endless.And after staring at it for a long time, it makes people inexplicably feel a chill down the spine.
Su Yuan expected that the investigation on the first day might not have any results.She then asked Bai Yutang if he and Zhan Zhao found anything in the case of the lost silver today.
Bai Yutang: "Indeed, as the little official said, all entry and exit are strictly searched, and all places in the money prison have been searched. There is no possibility of private transfer of money from inside to outside. However, no money was lost today, and we can only wait for tomorrow." Look again. At least rule out one thing, it has nothing to do with ghosts, it's man-made, the thief didn't dare to take any action when he saw the government came to investigate, and continued to steal money."
"Then what if when we check again tomorrow, we find that the money is missing?" Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang if he had already had a way to deal with it.
Bai Yutang chuckled, "Actually, people can hide things when they're naked, but if you don't catch the current situation, it's hard to talk about it."
Su Yuan immediately understood what Bai Yutang meant.At first, she wondered if she should remind Bai Yutang that there would be Gu Dao Zangyin.It seems that she doesn't have to worry about how to word the reminder, Bai Yutang has already thought of it.
"How can you hide things naked?" Sun He had nothing to eat, so he could only listen to the conversation between the two of them boredly.Asking if you don't understand is one of her characteristics.
Bai Yutang remained expressionless, completely ignoring Sun He's question.
Su Yuan pretended to be stupid: "I don't know, why don't you ask Fifth Master?"
"I ask?" Sun He mouthed Su Yuan in surprise, indicating that it was Su Yuan who asked.Obviously, she asked just now, but Bai Wuye didn't want to answer.
"awful--"
Suddenly it seemed that someone's voice came from the east, just in the direction of the copper water furnace where Wang Shuigen died.
"Did you hear any sound? I really want to hear someone shout the word 'miserable'?" Sun He's eyes widened in surprise.
Bai Yutang and Su Yuan glanced at each other, they both nodded at the same time, and they both heard it.
Sun He's eyes widened even wider, "Ghost, ghost is here!"
Bai Yutang originally thought that Sun He was afraid, and was about to tell her to stand behind him just like Su Yuan.but suddenly see
Sun He's face was full of excitement, and he jumped out of the room with the mahogany sword in hand, and went straight to the copper water stove.
"Wang Shuigen, come out, let's meet! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Holding the mahogany sword, Sun He looked around without blinking his eyes, for fear that he would miss the most exciting thing in the blink of an eye.
"Do you have the heart to live up to my waiting like this? You are still not a man!"
Bai Yutang: "..."
Su Yuan: "..."
I'm afraid if it's staged a ghost scene!
It was still quiet all around, and there was no sound at all.
Sun He raised his sword to guard for a while, and when he found that there was really nothing, he lowered his arms in frustration.
"I died a terrible death—"
Strange voices suddenly came from the west.
This time the whole sentence was heard clearly, and Sun He immediately ran towards the west excitedly.
Bai Yutang glanced at Su Yuan.
"I can do it alone." Su Yuan said immediately.
Bai Yutang then also headed west.
Su Yuan stood on the spot, observing the movements in the west from a high position, except for vaguely seeing the figures of Bai Yutang and Sun He running towards him, he still didn't find anything unusual.
After a while, Su Yuan heard the voice again.
"I died a terrible death—"
This time, the sound came faintly from the south, it was very small, and it could be seen that the distance had become farther away.
Bai Yutang and Sun He also heard the sound, and then chased south.
Su Yuan felt that waiting was boring, so he just sat down and continued to eat snacks.
After two sticks of incense, Sun He came back panting. She pinched her waist with her hands and took a long time to catch her breath.Bai Yutang came after him, but he was neither in a hurry nor out of breath, and remained unrestrained and calm.
Sun He, who was blushing, glanced sideways at Bai Yutang, who looked normal, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This Fifth Master Bai's physical strength is definitely comparable to that of the boss, it's against the sky!
"I didn't see any ghosts. The fifth master and I searched all over the southwest direction, and finally chased out of the Qian prison. We didn't see anything. Now there are five steps and one post guarding the periphery of the Qian prison. They all said that I didn't see anything like ghosts appearing. But my question scared them enough, and they all turned pale." Sun He explained as he passed by.
Su Yuan looked at Bai Yutang, saw Bai Yutang nodded, and knew that he hadn't found any clues this time.
"What abnormality did you observe on the roof?" Bai Yutang asked Su Yuan.
Su Yuan shook his head, "There is no abnormality at all nearby, and it is impossible to see the abnormality in the distance."
"It's really haunted. Otherwise, with Fifth Master's lightness kung fu, how could he not catch up? Apart from hearing that shout, there is no other movement. If someone wants to run, how can he make some noise? Even if it is He is as light as a swallow, and he wants to leave here after all, but the guards outside Qian Prison are so strict, it is impossible for the soldiers not to notice it at all. Moreover, the shouts go east, west, and south, it is impossible for humans to do it!"
"It can only be a ghost!"
The more Sun He thought about it, the more she felt that it was so, and said excitedly that this was the first time she was so close to a real ghost.
The three of them continued to wait on the roof for a while, but did not hear any more movement.
"It's almost dawn, I probably won't come again." Su Yuan yawned and suggested going back to Kaifeng Mansion to rest.
Sun He felt hungry, and immediately said that she was going to buy breakfast, and after asking Su Yuan and Bai Yutang what they wanted to eat, she immediately ran away.But before leaving, Sun He deliberately gave Su Yuan a meaningful look.
It's a pity that Su Yuan was too busy yawning to notice.It was Bai Yutang who noticed something, and gave Sun He a cold look.
"Don't come tomorrow, it's not good to stay up too long." Seeing Su Yuan yawn again, the corners of his eyes were moist, Bai Yutang handed her the handkerchief.
Su Yuan took the handkerchief and thanked him while wiping his eyes.
"Don't throw it away." Bai Yutang said suddenly.
Su Yuan realized that Bai Yutang was mentioning the incident when she threw his handkerchief last time.Can she be blamed? Who was the first to attack her?
Now that he ordered her again, Su Yuan's desire to bicker was aroused.
"That depends on whether Fifth Lord gave me the handkerchief or lent it to me."
Bai Yutang asked her, "How should I say it?"
Su Yuan explained: "If you give it to me, let me dispose of it. If you borrow it from me, I'll wash it and return it to Lord Wu."
"The answer is obvious." Bai Yutang said immediately.
Su Yuan thinks about it too, people ask not to lose it, so naturally it can only be regarded as borrowing.
"Stingy!" Su Yuan couldn't help sighing.
Bai Yutang took a special look at Su Yuan before confirming that the word 'stingy' was indeed coming from her mouth.
Borrowing her handkerchief, you still think he is stingy?Would he be stingy and give her a few hundred taels of silver?Did she know that men are most afraid of others saying they are stingy?
In the past, he told Su Yuan not to pretend to be in front of her, but she really exposed her true nature thoroughly, and dared to say any nonsense in front of him.
"A person who borrows things from others to blame others for being stingy is really stingy." Bai Yutang corrected Su Yuan and said.
"I'm stingy. I've been stingy since I was a child, and I've never considered myself generous." Su Yuan recognized it frankly, "But if I give the handkerchief to others, I won't want it back."
Su Yuan used his own stinginess as an example to set off Bai Yutang's stinginess in wanting to return the handkerchief.
"Who do you want to give the handkerchief to?" Bai Yutang's cold eyes fell on Su Yuan, with a sense of scrutiny.
Su Yuan: "Other people."
"What is the other person's last name?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Others are just a general point, just an example, no specific person." Su Yuan was a little puzzled, "Why is Fifth Master so eloquent all of a sudden?"
"There are many great things about the master."
Su Yuan: "..."
Is that what you said?
"How can a woman give handkerchiefs to others casually? It's wrong to give an example. It's a heavy lifting." Like a judge, Bai Yutang rejected Su Yuan's previous explanation.
"The important thing is who I give my handkerchief to. The important thing is that I want to show that if I give something to someone else, I won't want to come back like Lord Wu!" Su Yuan explained.
Bai Yutang: "Then what if your things are trampled on and thrown away?"
"Who dares!" Su Yuan stared, showing a somewhat fierce look.
"I used to be like you, but now someone dares." Bai Yutang blocked Su Yuan's way with his hand, looked down at her, and asked her softly, "How dare you?"
"I—" Su Yuan was a little confused, why were they bickering in the first place?How come the words are rushing to this moment, and the direction is a bit inexplicable!
Su Yuan considered what Bai Yutang wanted to express. His vengeful temperament must be to show that 'he doesn't like others not cherishing what he gives'.
"Actually, I don't mean not to cherish it. Didn't the fifth master speak badly last time? The fifth master mentioned the old grievances just now, and this naturally brought up the old grievances. How dare you, it's just a hurry .”
"En." Bai Yutang withdrew his hand, and continued to walk forward while saying to Su Yuan, "I don't mean not to cherish it, so cherish it."
Su Yuan: "???"
This is true, but it sounds like something is wrong.
Su Yuan looked at Bai Yutang's back, and after a little thought, he caught up with Bai Yutang.
"What kind of food does Master Wu want to eat? Just order it, and I'll make it for you tomorrow!"
Bai Yutang glanced at Su Yuan speechlessly, heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and didn't want to talk to her for the time being.
"How about braised red carp and donkey?"
"not so good."
"Fifth Lord is picky eater again? Didn't you like to eat red carp before?" Su Yuan asked in surprise.
Bai Yutang glanced at Su Yuan, "It's a picky eater, very picky, it's up to her."
"It?" Su Yuan tried again to understand what Bai Yutang was expressing, "What does the 'it' mentioned by Lord Wu mean? How do you want to eat it? Which one do you want fried, fried, fried, roasted, stewed, steamed, boiled, stewed? "
Bai Yutang: "..."
The first time was on the day of Wang Shuigen's first seven days. Someone claimed to have seen Wang Shuigen at night next to the copper water furnace where Wang Shuigen died. After that, two craftsmen also witnessed similar situations.
A year ago, there was a craftsman in the Qianjian. When he passed by the copper water furnace where Wang Shuigen died, he suddenly heard the ghost cry of "I died a terrible death", fainted from fright, and then quit his job. .But the craftsman died mysteriously shortly after returning to his hometown.
Half a year ago, another craftsman claimed that he not only heard ghost calls at night, but also saw ghosts near the copper water furnace.Afterwards, the craftsman fell ill, and he is still not sane.He is most afraid of people mentioning ghosts, and there are words such as Wang Shuigen, Qianjian, and copper water furnace, and he will go crazy when he hears them.
Jin Decai, the chief supervisor of Qian, felt that this was an evil thing, and once asked Taoist priests to practice methods to save Wang Shuigen's undead, but the result was of no avail.After that, there were still people who occasionally heard ghosts screaming at night and shouted the phrase "I died so badly" miserably. Today, three or five people have been frightened by this and have suffered from the disease of leaving the soul, and finally quit their jobs.
Originally, the Qiandongsuo, which also smelted copper and silver at night, will stop working when it gets dark today, just to avoid the recurrence of haunted incidents.
Sun He has always been curious about ghosts.
When she was 13 years old, a family on the same street as her Dongfeng Escort once shouted that it was haunted.Sun He followed children of the same age to squat on the roof of other people's houses at night. It was originally for gaining knowledge and seeing what ghosts look like. Who knew that after guarding for more than half a month, they didn't see half of the ghosts, but they caught them. The hostess of the house secretly committed adultery with the outsider in the middle of the night.
Last year, Sun He heard that there was a dilapidated Town God's Temple on the west side of Tokyo where there were always ghosts screaming. She also went to guard it, and found out that the so-called ghost screams were actually the wind.
"Boss, do you think there are ghosts in this world?" Sun He asked Su Yuan.
"Yes, even if there are no ghosts outside, there are ghosts in people's hearts, so ghosts always exist." Su Yuan said, "Actually, you have already seen it."
"I'm not curious about the ghosts in people's hearts. I want to see the real ghosts outside. I wonder why every time I chase after him, he doesn't come to see me?"
The more ghosts were mentioned, the more Sun He couldn't hold back his curiosity, and wanted to catch a ghost to see what it looked like.Especially in this case, so many witnesses said they saw ghosts, and they clearly heard ghosts screaming.Sun He felt that her blood was running hot, she really wanted to find out.
However, Mr. Bao only assigned the case to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang just now, and didn't let her boss also participate in the investigation of the case of losing money in the household department.
It is said that there are two reasons for this decision: on the one hand, because the craftsmen and officials involved in the Qianjian case of the Ministry of Household Affairs are all men, it is not convenient for women to go to the case because strip searches are involved in the investigation.On the other hand, Master Bao felt sorry for her boss who had worked too hard some time ago, so he specially gave her a few days off to rest.
But without the boss to come forward, Sun He would not be able to go to the household department to find ghosts smoothly.She tried to lobby Su Yuan, and also went to the household department to investigate the case of losing money.
"No." Su Yuan refused flatly.
It was rare for her to rest, and she only planned to eat, drink, and sleep as she pleased.
"Go, go, isn't the boss curious about what a ghost looks like?" Sun He continued to lobby Su Yuan unwillingly.
"Not curious."
Seeing Sun He, Su Yuan still pouted unwillingly, and said to her half-jokingly.
"Curiosity kills people. I haven't seen so many people in the household department die, get sick, and suffer from insanity after seeing ghosts? It's best not to join in this kind of excitement. If ghosts really appear, they might meet you." my life."
"We have a mahogany sword, we can stab it to death with one sword!"
After saying that, Sun He ran back to the house, and found a mahogany sword whose skin was worn smooth and red from her luggage.
Just looking at the color of the sword body, one can tell that it is old, and it has been rubbed and used often.In other words, this is probably a mahogany sword with 'boundless magic power'.
"This is a gift my father got from a highly respected Taoist priest. It is a treasure handed down from the ancestors of that Taoist priest. It is very powerful, and there is absolutely no second one in the world!"
Sun He solemnly presented the Taomu sword with both hands to Su Yuan.
"Now I will dedicate this precious mahogany sword to the boss, please take me to kill ghosts and demons!"
"What do you call it?" Su Yuan asked.
"Precious mahogany sword, this is its name, does it sound expensive?" Sun He asked with a smile.
"Expensive is fine, I don't accept cheap ones." Su Yuan took the sword and weighed it in his hand. It was made of century-old mahogany wood, and it was indeed precious and rare.
"Boss, shouldn't we be afraid of ghosts now? Can we go to the household department to investigate and catch ghosts?" Sun He asked eagerly after he bribed.
Su Yuan really liked this mahogany sword, and felt that this sword should be of great use in the future.Since he was paid, he naturally had to provide services, so Su Yuan agreed to Sun He's request.
"Okay, since you want to catch ghosts so much, I'll go ask Mr. Bao."
"That's great! Boss is the best for me! But will Mr. Bao think that we girls don't go there to investigate the case, and don't agree to us?" Sun He was excited, but also a little worried.
"Just catch ghosts, we don't care about anything else."
……
Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were drinking tea in the study, and they couldn't help but chat about the case they just took over.
Lost silver and haunted, is there really a ghost in it, or is there something else hidden in it?Is the haunting related to the case of losing money?
Gongsun Ce: "What do ghosts do to steal silver? You can't spend anything in the underworld. Even if the ghost is like a treasure in the underworld, you shouldn't just steal three or five taels at a time. The fact that students lose money must have nothing to do with ghosts. Man-made."
Bao Zheng nodded, he also had the same idea as Gongsun Ce.
"The money was only lost for nearly a month, and the haunting has been going on for two years. It would be too long to say that the haunting paves the way for the money to be lost. Besides, the money was only lost for three or five taels at a time. There was such a big fight."
Gongsun Ce paid more attention to the unrelated matters of haunting and money loss. Since the Ministry of Household Affairs could not find out the reason for the loss of money, he felt that the matter was absurd.
Bao Zheng promised: "However, the haunting in Hubu seems to be a bit strange. Most of the haunted rumors are exaggerated, but they just sound absurd. Rare."
"It's really strange." Gongsun Ce felt that compared to the case of losing money, it was the haunting that was more intriguing.
When the two of them were discussing whether to send another person to do a deeper investigation into the haunting, Su Yuan came to invite Ying.
Bao Zheng couldn't help laughing, and said to Gongsun Ce: "I'm afraid this disciple has got your true biography, he can pinch and count, so it's time to do the rain."
Gongsun Ce also thought it was a coincidence, and said to Su Yuan: "My lord and I are discussing whether we should send someone to investigate this ghost."
"It's my honor to relieve my lord and master's worries." Su Yuan immediately saluted and said obediently.
Bao Zheng praised Su Yuanshe's diligence in investigating the case after taking a break, and praised her for her dedication to her duties and her honesty and pragmatism.
"Although I don't know the truth about this haunting, it's always right to take more precautions."
Bao Zheng specifically ordered the accountant to give Su Yuan money to buy some things to drive away ghosts. If there is an accident during the night investigation, it can be used as an emergency.
"Miss Sun is good at martial arts, but you two girls are not safe after all. I will ask Guard Bai to take care of you when I have time." Gongsun Ce added.
Su Yuan nodded, thinking in her heart that she didn't need to buy ghost exorcisms with the money she spent, nothing could compare to that mahogany sword, and it would be great if the money was used to buy meat.
After Su Yuan left, Bao Zheng deliberately asked Gongsun Ce: "Why did you choose the white guard? Isn't it okay to show the guard?"
"Of course." Gongsun Ce agreed.
"Then why?" Bao Zheng saw that Gongsun Ce was rarely fooled by gradients, and he didn't answer his own question directly, but wanted to ask clearly.
"Bai Huwei is more suitable." Gongsun Ce could only answer briefly.
"Then what's wrong with Zhanwei?"
"My lord, you still have a lot of official business to deal with today." Gongsun Ce pointed to the half-foot-high document that he had just sorted out on the table.
"Where is it inappropriate?" Bao Zheng dared to play sloppy with the officials who specialize in investigating cases, how could Bao Zheng spare him, and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Gongsun Ce had no choice but to admit that he was selfish and thought that the two young people seemed quite suitable, so he thought that if there was a chance, he would let the two of them get together more and make a match.
"Okay, you, using the public for personal gain."
Bao Zheng's tone was temporarily unclear whether he was joking or serious.
Mainly because his face is too dark, when he is not smiling or angry, it is difficult to distinguish his true emotions.
"Students, this is just a small push. Only with 'Lan' can they help. If there is no 'Lan' at all, everyone will investigate the case in an orderly manner, and it's nothing."
Gongsun Ce was afraid that Bao Zheng would take the matter too seriously, so he carefully explained his motives for such intentions.
"Su Yatou grew up in Kaifeng Mansion since she was a child, and she can be regarded as the daughter of our Kaifeng Mansion. She has no father or mother, no relatives, and only us by her side. The adults just praised her for being honest and pragmatic, and she has been working hard for the government. How can we fail her when we do things? Now that she is old, if no one worries about her life's affairs for her, it will be a bit desolate and unreasonable."
Gongsun Ce loves Su Yuan so much, since he chose to be her master, he naturally wants to treat Su Yuan sincerely like a father, and plan for her future.
After pondering for a while, Bao Zheng asked Gongsun Ce: "Is the white guard suitable? He has a bit of a temper and is too arrogant."
Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Bao Zheng was seriously considering going to Su Yuan's lifelong event!He even thought that Bai Yutang was not good enough for Su Yuan.Fortunately, this was only said by the two of them in private, if Bai Yutang heard about it, what a mess it would be.
"Could it be that my lord is the guard of Zhongyi Zhan?" Gongsun Ce asked tentatively.
"Guard Zhan is a little old, and he still has peach blossom debts—"
Gongsun Ce was stunned, "Peach Blossom Debt? Why don't students know about this?"
"It's not what you think, but the woman's wishful thinking, just like the Jiahe County Lord." Bao Zheng explained.
"That's not surprising, after all, Nan Xia Zhanzhao is well-known in martial arts." Gongsun Ce commented objectively, "He is righteous, modest and polite, and has many admirers, which is really reasonable."
But with many admirers, as his wife, it is easy to cause jealousy and trouble, which is indeed a 'disadvantage'.Mr. Bao's consideration in this aspect is much more thoughtful than him.
And Bai Yutang had an advantage in this point, because he was famously vicious and vicious, no one in the Jianghu would dare to provoke him casually.Even if there are people who admire and admire him, they can only hide in the dark and never dare to show it on the surface.Because once it is shown, it is very likely that not only will it not be favored by Bai Yutang, but it will also cause Bai Yutang to dislike him and kill him directly.
Therefore, most people in the Jianghu are afraid of Bai Yutang, while many admire him, but there are very few admirers.
Especially considering that Su Yuan has a physique that is prone to trouble.Her previous experience was already bitter enough, Gongsun Ce didn't want Su Yuan to live in trouble in the future.
Furthermore, Gongsun Ce had observed Zhan Zhao's attitude towards Su Yuan long ago, and he took care of his younger sister completely, without any extra affection.On the contrary, it was Bai Yutang, who looked very playful.
"You can't just focus on the ones in our mansion, and then pick and choose the ones outside." Bao Zheng searched all the young men of the right age in the mansion in his mind, and found that none of them completely satisfied him, so he decided to expand the scope.
In the evening, Bao Zheng took a long list and knocked on Gongsun Ce's door.
Gongsun Ce was sitting at the table, quietly listening to Bao Zheng's counting of the relatively good children on the list.
Short stature, crossed out.
Poor appearance, crossed out.
Irritable, crossed out.
The parents at home were unruly and crossed it out.
……
Without waiting for Gongsun Ce to help analyze and discuss together, Bao Zheng crossed out the last name.
None of them are suitable, he feels that none of these people are worthy of Su Yuan.
Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng's distasteful and picky look, and suddenly felt that he, the master's 'father', did not pass Bao Zheng's standards at all, Bao Zheng was the performance that a 'father' who truly loves his daughter too much should have.
"Have you ever thought about it, my lord, these children are all from good families, and I'm afraid it would be very difficult for them to be willing to marry an orphan girl who works as a servant in Kaifeng Mansion."
Although the children on this list do have shortcomings, they are not worthy of Su Yuan.But Gongsun Ce felt that Bao Zheng should still be aware of a problem. This is not a one-sided choice, but a double choice.
"With the government as a guarantor, why not you and I buy her a dowry?" Bao Zheng told Gongsun Ce that he had already considered this aspect, and he could write a letter to show Su Yuan's merits.
"But these aristocratic families are well-behaved. Even if she marries in, she probably won't like the confinement of a big family in a deep house." Seeing that Bao Zheng didn't understand what he meant, Gongsun Ce decided to lobby in a different direction.
It was only then that Bao Zheng understood, "Which is the most suitable choice among these choices, is it true that Bai Weiwei is the most suitable?"
"The family background is good and the rules are high. Those who have no family background are mostly because they have not been educated and have no morals. They are capable of both civil and military skills, have a family background but are not too strict with rules, and have a good appearance. They can give Su Yatou the best respect." , the students currently only see Bai Weiwei."
After Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, he had no choice but to nod.But for some reason, after picking around, he suddenly found that Bai Yutang's shortcoming was not a shortcoming at all.Although he was young and vigorous, it was only because he was too young. If you sharpened him a few times, his temper would naturally calm down.
It seems that his requirements were too harsh at the beginning, and he only thought that Su Yuan should be matched with the best and most perfect man in the world.
"The best is not necessarily good, the right one is the best." Gongsun Ce said with a gentle smile.
"It's my government that has been careless," Bao Zheng reflected on himself, "Mr. Gongsun laughed."
Gongsun Ce shook his head, but expressed his admiration and gratitude to Bao Zheng, "The so-called caring is chaotic. Compared with the students, the adults care more about Su Yuan. The students can see that the adults treat her sincerely, just like their own daughters."
Bao Zheng smiled, picked up a piece of biscuit with the word "Fu" on the plate, and half-jokingly said to Gongsun Ce: "After all, eating people's mouth is short."
Gongsun Ce also took a piece and ate it, jokingly said, "Then let's eat more, talk more and talk less, and treat her better."
Both of them laughed in unison.
……
Su Yuan lay on the roof of a house of Qian Jian in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and sneezed in a muffled voice.
"Boss caught a cold?" Sun He asked wonderingly, but she felt that it was quite hot tonight.
"No." Su Yuan's health is so good that he won't get sick once in 800 years, "It's probably because someone is talking about me."
"I don't know who is talking about it? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Sun He sighed casually, and put a salt and pepper almond into his mouth. While eating, he rolled his round eyes and looked around, waiting for the ghost to come. Appear.
"Who cares about his good or bad things, it's the same with me." Su Yuan stretched her waist and sat down instead, while she put a piece of pork jerky in her mouth.
"Tomorrow, let's prepare some stewed chicken feet. There must be ones with bones. Eat slowly to kill time." Su Yuan sighed, and felt that he should prepare two soft cushions. The roof is a bit hard to sit on.
"Okay, I'll prepare." Just as Sun He agreed straightforwardly, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming, and then smelled a faint and pleasant scent of sandalwood.
A bag of snacks suddenly landed in front of Sun He.
Sun He subconsciously caught it with both hands, and when he looked up, he saw Bai Yutang standing in front of him. He was handsome and dignified like a pine, but people dared not look at him more.
Sun He found that he was still carrying a bag of snacks in his hand, but he bent down and handed it to Su Yuan.
Sun He: "..."
Whether the difference in treatment is so big or not, she can just throw it away!
However, just receiving a pack of dim sum from Chinchilla Bai Yutang was enough for her to enjoy herself in the arena for a while.But not everyone can have the treatment she has, she owes it to the boss.
The more he thought about it, the more contented Sun He was, and he felt that he was amazing.
"Snacks from Yuhelou?" When Su Yuan received the snacks, he saw the three big characters of Yuhelou written on the paper package through the moonlight, and then smelled a faint fragrance of lotus leaves.
"En." Bai Yutang agreed.
This Yuhelou is a dim sum shop newly opened in the capital, but for some reason, it has become famous in the capital after only three days of opening.Su Yuan has always wanted to try it after hearing its name, but unfortunately, he just didn't have time recently.Finally, she should have time, so she and Sun He came to catch ghosts again.
"I heard that all of its dim sum is related to 'lotus'. Every dim sum is made from at least one of lotus leaf, lotus flower, lotus seed or lotus root. I'm curious how delicious the dim sum will be under this method. "
After thanking Bai Yutang, Su Yuan opened the paper bag and smelled a more intense fragrance of lotus leaves.
The lotus leaf is cut into a round shape, and the upper and lower pieces are wrapped with glutinous rice in the middle. When the lotus leaf is peeled off, the jujube paste is the first to eat in the mouth. The wrapped lotus-flavored glutinous rice blends together, which is full of fragrance.After eating the second one, I tasted chestnut stuffing, as well as salty ham stuffing and fresh meat stuffing...
While eating, Su Yuan suddenly realized: "Why does this feel similar to rice dumplings?"
Bai Yutang was silent for a while, and replied, "It seems to be."
"I think it's so fresh, that is, the zong leaves are replaced with lotus leaves, and then made smaller." Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang how much this bag of dim sum cost.
"880 eight articles."
Su Yuan's eyes widened slightly, "The price is so expensive! It's still 880, and even the asking price is a gimmick. For the same money, you can buy three buckets of zongzi with similar taste."
Bai Yutang silently glanced at Su Yuan, but said nothing.
"Of course, I'm not saying that the fifth master's purchase is not good. I have long wanted to try his dim sum. I just feel that their name is not worthy of the name, and it is too deceitful."
Su Yuan was afraid that Bai Yutang might misunderstand, so he explained a little bit.
"But what I don't understand the most is, how can his family become famous in Tokyo with this kind of dim sum?"
"It's a little strange, I'll ask Bai Fu to find out later." Bai Yutang agreed.
"You don't need to go out of your way to inquire about it. Doing business is what you like, and they didn't force us to do anything. At worst, we won't buy it once we've been tricked." Su Yuan gave Bai Yutang the small bag of snacks she brought, Invite him to eat this.
Bai Yutang didn't want it, but got up and wanted to leave, "I'm going to buy some dim sum from Yaoguanglou."
"No need." Knowing that Bai Yutang said it, Su Yuan would do it right away, afraid that he would run away first, so she pulled him in a hurry, just at the cuff of his sleeve, and her fingertip even touched Bai Yutang's little finger.
Bai Yutang looked down at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan withdrew his hand immediately, and explained to Bai Yutang, "It's really unnecessary, I have eaten so many lotus leaf cakes, I can't eat any more."
Dim sum is not fun to eat too much. If you want to be full, you have to eat meat.
Bai Yutang didn't respond, but he didn't look back at Su Yuan——
"Hey, Boss! This dim sum is very interesting. There are several kinds of fillings, sweet and salty. It's so delicious!"
Sun He was in charge of the southeast, and Su Yuan was in charge of the northwest.Sun He was sitting in the opposite direction to Su Yuan, so she didn't see what was going on here just now, so she came over happily.
This just broke the strange atmosphere between Su Yuan and Bai Yutang just now.
"Delicious?" Su Yuan asked Sun He.
"It's delicious." Sun He immediately agreed with a smile, not forgetting to thank Bai Yutang by the way.
Hearing that Yuhelou’s snacks cost 880 yuan for a pack, Sun He lamented that it was really expensive, but it was worth it if it tasted good.
Su Yuan: "Then which is better, this or rice dumplings?"
"Of course it is—" Sun He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, why does this seem to be similar to rice dumplings? Oh my god, if you use the money from buying dim sum to buy rice dumplings, how many big rice dumplings can you buy? Ah. This shop is treating its customers like monkeys! Is it really not a loss to open a shop like this?"
"It's probably sold for fame, and some people will go for it." Su Yuan said.
"I really don't understand." After Sun He sighed angrily, he couldn't help yawning, "Why hasn't this ghost come here? It's almost dawn."
After Sun He finished speaking, he looked at the copper water furnace that killed Wang Shuigen.Now that the furnace is empty because of the shutdown, it looks deep and dark and endless.And after staring at it for a long time, it makes people inexplicably feel a chill down the spine.
Su Yuan expected that the investigation on the first day might not have any results.She then asked Bai Yutang if he and Zhan Zhao found anything in the case of the lost silver today.
Bai Yutang: "Indeed, as the little official said, all entry and exit are strictly searched, and all places in the money prison have been searched. There is no possibility of private transfer of money from inside to outside. However, no money was lost today, and we can only wait for tomorrow." Look again. At least rule out one thing, it has nothing to do with ghosts, it's man-made, the thief didn't dare to take any action when he saw the government came to investigate, and continued to steal money."
"Then what if when we check again tomorrow, we find that the money is missing?" Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang if he had already had a way to deal with it.
Bai Yutang chuckled, "Actually, people can hide things when they're naked, but if you don't catch the current situation, it's hard to talk about it."
Su Yuan immediately understood what Bai Yutang meant.At first, she wondered if she should remind Bai Yutang that there would be Gu Dao Zangyin.It seems that she doesn't have to worry about how to word the reminder, Bai Yutang has already thought of it.
"How can you hide things naked?" Sun He had nothing to eat, so he could only listen to the conversation between the two of them boredly.Asking if you don't understand is one of her characteristics.
Bai Yutang remained expressionless, completely ignoring Sun He's question.
Su Yuan pretended to be stupid: "I don't know, why don't you ask Fifth Master?"
"I ask?" Sun He mouthed Su Yuan in surprise, indicating that it was Su Yuan who asked.Obviously, she asked just now, but Bai Wuye didn't want to answer.
"awful--"
Suddenly it seemed that someone's voice came from the east, just in the direction of the copper water furnace where Wang Shuigen died.
"Did you hear any sound? I really want to hear someone shout the word 'miserable'?" Sun He's eyes widened in surprise.
Bai Yutang and Su Yuan glanced at each other, they both nodded at the same time, and they both heard it.
Sun He's eyes widened even wider, "Ghost, ghost is here!"
Bai Yutang originally thought that Sun He was afraid, and was about to tell her to stand behind him just like Su Yuan.but suddenly see
Sun He's face was full of excitement, and he jumped out of the room with the mahogany sword in hand, and went straight to the copper water stove.
"Wang Shuigen, come out, let's meet! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Holding the mahogany sword, Sun He looked around without blinking his eyes, for fear that he would miss the most exciting thing in the blink of an eye.
"Do you have the heart to live up to my waiting like this? You are still not a man!"
Bai Yutang: "..."
Su Yuan: "..."
I'm afraid if it's staged a ghost scene!
It was still quiet all around, and there was no sound at all.
Sun He raised his sword to guard for a while, and when he found that there was really nothing, he lowered his arms in frustration.
"I died a terrible death—"
Strange voices suddenly came from the west.
This time the whole sentence was heard clearly, and Sun He immediately ran towards the west excitedly.
Bai Yutang glanced at Su Yuan.
"I can do it alone." Su Yuan said immediately.
Bai Yutang then also headed west.
Su Yuan stood on the spot, observing the movements in the west from a high position, except for vaguely seeing the figures of Bai Yutang and Sun He running towards him, he still didn't find anything unusual.
After a while, Su Yuan heard the voice again.
"I died a terrible death—"
This time, the sound came faintly from the south, it was very small, and it could be seen that the distance had become farther away.
Bai Yutang and Sun He also heard the sound, and then chased south.
Su Yuan felt that waiting was boring, so he just sat down and continued to eat snacks.
After two sticks of incense, Sun He came back panting. She pinched her waist with her hands and took a long time to catch her breath.Bai Yutang came after him, but he was neither in a hurry nor out of breath, and remained unrestrained and calm.
Sun He, who was blushing, glanced sideways at Bai Yutang, who looked normal, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This Fifth Master Bai's physical strength is definitely comparable to that of the boss, it's against the sky!
"I didn't see any ghosts. The fifth master and I searched all over the southwest direction, and finally chased out of the Qian prison. We didn't see anything. Now there are five steps and one post guarding the periphery of the Qian prison. They all said that I didn't see anything like ghosts appearing. But my question scared them enough, and they all turned pale." Sun He explained as he passed by.
Su Yuan looked at Bai Yutang, saw Bai Yutang nodded, and knew that he hadn't found any clues this time.
"What abnormality did you observe on the roof?" Bai Yutang asked Su Yuan.
Su Yuan shook his head, "There is no abnormality at all nearby, and it is impossible to see the abnormality in the distance."
"It's really haunted. Otherwise, with Fifth Master's lightness kung fu, how could he not catch up? Apart from hearing that shout, there is no other movement. If someone wants to run, how can he make some noise? Even if it is He is as light as a swallow, and he wants to leave here after all, but the guards outside Qian Prison are so strict, it is impossible for the soldiers not to notice it at all. Moreover, the shouts go east, west, and south, it is impossible for humans to do it!"
"It can only be a ghost!"
The more Sun He thought about it, the more she felt that it was so, and said excitedly that this was the first time she was so close to a real ghost.
The three of them continued to wait on the roof for a while, but did not hear any more movement.
"It's almost dawn, I probably won't come again." Su Yuan yawned and suggested going back to Kaifeng Mansion to rest.
Sun He felt hungry, and immediately said that she was going to buy breakfast, and after asking Su Yuan and Bai Yutang what they wanted to eat, she immediately ran away.But before leaving, Sun He deliberately gave Su Yuan a meaningful look.
It's a pity that Su Yuan was too busy yawning to notice.It was Bai Yutang who noticed something, and gave Sun He a cold look.
"Don't come tomorrow, it's not good to stay up too long." Seeing Su Yuan yawn again, the corners of his eyes were moist, Bai Yutang handed her the handkerchief.
Su Yuan took the handkerchief and thanked him while wiping his eyes.
"Don't throw it away." Bai Yutang said suddenly.
Su Yuan realized that Bai Yutang was mentioning the incident when she threw his handkerchief last time.Can she be blamed? Who was the first to attack her?
Now that he ordered her again, Su Yuan's desire to bicker was aroused.
"That depends on whether Fifth Lord gave me the handkerchief or lent it to me."
Bai Yutang asked her, "How should I say it?"
Su Yuan explained: "If you give it to me, let me dispose of it. If you borrow it from me, I'll wash it and return it to Lord Wu."
"The answer is obvious." Bai Yutang said immediately.
Su Yuan thinks about it too, people ask not to lose it, so naturally it can only be regarded as borrowing.
"Stingy!" Su Yuan couldn't help sighing.
Bai Yutang took a special look at Su Yuan before confirming that the word 'stingy' was indeed coming from her mouth.
Borrowing her handkerchief, you still think he is stingy?Would he be stingy and give her a few hundred taels of silver?Did she know that men are most afraid of others saying they are stingy?
In the past, he told Su Yuan not to pretend to be in front of her, but she really exposed her true nature thoroughly, and dared to say any nonsense in front of him.
"A person who borrows things from others to blame others for being stingy is really stingy." Bai Yutang corrected Su Yuan and said.
"I'm stingy. I've been stingy since I was a child, and I've never considered myself generous." Su Yuan recognized it frankly, "But if I give the handkerchief to others, I won't want it back."
Su Yuan used his own stinginess as an example to set off Bai Yutang's stinginess in wanting to return the handkerchief.
"Who do you want to give the handkerchief to?" Bai Yutang's cold eyes fell on Su Yuan, with a sense of scrutiny.
Su Yuan: "Other people."
"What is the other person's last name?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Others are just a general point, just an example, no specific person." Su Yuan was a little puzzled, "Why is Fifth Master so eloquent all of a sudden?"
"There are many great things about the master."
Su Yuan: "..."
Is that what you said?
"How can a woman give handkerchiefs to others casually? It's wrong to give an example. It's a heavy lifting." Like a judge, Bai Yutang rejected Su Yuan's previous explanation.
"The important thing is who I give my handkerchief to. The important thing is that I want to show that if I give something to someone else, I won't want to come back like Lord Wu!" Su Yuan explained.
Bai Yutang: "Then what if your things are trampled on and thrown away?"
"Who dares!" Su Yuan stared, showing a somewhat fierce look.
"I used to be like you, but now someone dares." Bai Yutang blocked Su Yuan's way with his hand, looked down at her, and asked her softly, "How dare you?"
"I—" Su Yuan was a little confused, why were they bickering in the first place?How come the words are rushing to this moment, and the direction is a bit inexplicable!
Su Yuan considered what Bai Yutang wanted to express. His vengeful temperament must be to show that 'he doesn't like others not cherishing what he gives'.
"Actually, I don't mean not to cherish it. Didn't the fifth master speak badly last time? The fifth master mentioned the old grievances just now, and this naturally brought up the old grievances. How dare you, it's just a hurry .”
"En." Bai Yutang withdrew his hand, and continued to walk forward while saying to Su Yuan, "I don't mean not to cherish it, so cherish it."
Su Yuan: "???"
This is true, but it sounds like something is wrong.
Su Yuan looked at Bai Yutang's back, and after a little thought, he caught up with Bai Yutang.
"What kind of food does Master Wu want to eat? Just order it, and I'll make it for you tomorrow!"
Bai Yutang glanced at Su Yuan speechlessly, heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and didn't want to talk to her for the time being.
"How about braised red carp and donkey?"
"not so good."
"Fifth Lord is picky eater again? Didn't you like to eat red carp before?" Su Yuan asked in surprise.
Bai Yutang glanced at Su Yuan, "It's a picky eater, very picky, it's up to her."
"It?" Su Yuan tried again to understand what Bai Yutang was expressing, "What does the 'it' mentioned by Lord Wu mean? How do you want to eat it? Which one do you want fried, fried, fried, roasted, stewed, steamed, boiled, stewed? "
Bai Yutang: "..."
