Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss

Bai Yutang's clothes were not fastened, his collarbone was slightly exposed, his loose hair was still wet, and two strands of hair were hanging down at his temples, just covering the sharp corners of his eyes.Under the light of the dim candlelight, the straight nose bridge, thin lips, and jade-like face all seemed to have a layer of soft light, as if they had been painted, which made people feel unreal.

Bai Yutang didn't expect Su Yuan to come to his room, he was surprised and asked Su Yuan, "When did you come?"

"I'm bored, so I came to see you."

Su Yuan walked up to Bai Yutang, approaching him, so close that the tip of her nose almost touched Bai Yutang's cheek, then she gently stroked Bai Yutang's temples with her fingers, curled up a strand of hair on his temples, and smiled Ask Bai Yutang if he misses her.

Bai Yutang chuckled, "Of course I miss you."

Bai Yutang wanted to hug Su Yuan, but Su Yuan deftly avoided him.When he was going to chase Su Yuan again, he saw the clothes he had discarded on the ground before, so he picked them up and threw them into the closet.

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows, turned around and sat back on the Luohan couch.

Bai Yutang fetched the teapot and teacups, and specially poured a cup of herbal tea for Su Yuan and delivered them over.

Su Yuan took the tea and slowly brought it to his mouth.

Bai Yutang looked at Su Yuan softly.

"Where have you been today?" Su Yuan asked suddenly.

"Check the ghosts. These people are too cunning, and it's not easy to find their clues," Bai Yutang said.

"Yes, it's not easy, so the fifth master must be exhausted, right?" Su Yuan leaned closer to Bai Yutang, and brought the teacup in her hand to Bai Yutang's mouth, "I'll feed you."

"Don't make trouble." Bai Yutang laughed and blocked Su Yuan's hand.

Su Yuan insisted on delivering the tea to Bai Yutang's lips, and Bai Yutang's expression changed drastically.Then he met Su Yuan's eyes, keenly aware of the playfulness in Su Yuan's eyes.

Immediately, a sharp hidden weapon appeared in Bai Yutang's hand, and he slashed straight at Su Yuan's neck.Su Yuan sideways avoided, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and folded it outward fiercely, then heard a crisp 'click', and the bone broke.Su Yuan's other hand smashed the tea bowl at the same time, scratched Bai Yutang's face with a sharp piece of porcelain, and blood gushed out after a while, which shows how thick-skinned he is!

Bai Yutang yelled twice in pain, causing Bai Fu outside the house to rush in in a panic, asking his fifth master if there was anything wrong.When Bai Fu saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was petrified.Miss Su actually ruined the appearance of his fifth master!

"Fifth Lord! Miss Su! This—"

"This woman is not Su Yuan! She is in disguise! Kill her quickly!" Bai Yutang yelled at Bai Fu with a grim face in pain.He wanted to push Su Yuan away with his other hand, but Su Yuan broke his other hand too.

The stunned Bai Fu finally came back to his senses, he drew his knife while shouting, and was about to strike at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan flew out the broken porcelain in his hand, and directly knocked out the knife in Bai Fu's hand.

Bai Fu was shocked.

"The face can be disguised, but the kung fu cannot."

Su Yuan reminded Bai Fu, and then arrested Bai Yutang who wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

Staring at this all-too-familiar face, Su Yuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he asked him in a cold voice: "Are you shameless yourself? Use someone else's face?"

Bai Fu froze for a moment, then looked at Bai Yutang in a daze.What do you mean by that?Could it be that Miss Su is real and Master Wu is fake?

Bai Fu didn't dare to move.What Miss Su reminded him just now was correct, appearance can be faked, but kung fu cannot be faked.Although Fifth Master's martial arts is not as superb as Miss Su's, he still has the ability to fight her for more than a dozen rounds.

When 'Bai Yutang' realized that he had been seen through, he immediately spit out a flying needle from his mouth and shot it precisely between Su Yuan's eyebrows.

Su Yuan flashed past, still clutching the lapel of 'Bai Yutang'. 'Bai Yutang' took advantage of this opportunity to kick towards Su Yuan again.

A normal person would subconsciously dodge again in response to this action. As long as he is out of Su Yuan's control, he can release the poisonous smoke and take the opportunity to escape.But Su Yuan didn't let go, instead she kicked back.When two 'flying legs' collide, there must be a break, and then there is a 'click', and one leg is broken.

'Bai Yutang' lost three of his limbs. If he wanted to escape, he had no choice but to hop on one leg, but if he hopped on one leg in this heavily guarded Kaifeng mansion, it was absolutely impossible to escape. Enduring the severe pain, 'Bai Yutang' stretched out his hand to get something from his waist.Su Yuan stepped on 'Bai Yutang''s arm, making him cry out in pain.

Su Yuan recognized that its original voice was a female voice, and was surprised, and then found a poisonous smoke bomb and a suicide poison pill commonly used by ghosts in his waist.

After Bai Fu bound 'Bai Yutang', he washed his face with oil and successfully peeled off his face.This person has a beautiful appearance, which can be called first-class. She has the appearance of a girl, and her original voice is also like that of a woman, but she has an Adam's apple, which makes it difficult to distinguish between male and female.Later, it was Bai Fu who verified it with his own eyes before confirming that this person was a man.

"Where is Bai Yutang?" Su Yuan asked.

The man snorted coldly, but did not answer, his eyes did not hide his hatred for Su Yuan.

Zhan Zhao, Wang Chao and others got the news and rushed over.

Su Yuan suddenly remembered Lu Fang and the others, and urged Bai Fu to inform them quickly, fearing that the fake Bai Yutang said something that would fool the four mice.

"Stop him!"

Zhan Zhao suddenly yelled in the room, followed by coughing and vomiting.

Su Yuan turned around and went in to see that the male and female man had already vomited blood and died.

Zhan Zhao said to Su Yuan: "Just now when I saw him lower his head and lick his fingers, he felt something was wrong, but it was still a step too late."

Obviously, the man's fingers were painted with poison.

Su Yuan turned her head to look at the tea bowl that she broke, and the tea was indeed poisoned.Fortunately, she was very vigilant and noticed Bai Yutang's abnormality.

Zhan Zhao asked Su Yuan: "Even Sishu and Bai Fu didn't recognize him, how did you recognize him?"

Originally, in order to prevent the problem of disguise, the mansion had arranged for the person in charge of the spotting to use oil to smear the face for screening.But Bai Yutang was used to doing things in his own way, coming and going without a trace, and no one could control him at all.In addition, his high martial arts skills are not easy to provoke, no one would think that Gui Jianchou would dare to disguise Bai Yutang at such a time.

Su Yuan took out the dirty clothes from the closet and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

"I saw him throw the clothes in the closet."

Zhan Zhao sneered, and said with emotion: "Then this is indeed a big flaw."

With Bai Yutang's clean personality, it is impossible for him to throw the dirty clothes he has worn into the closet.

"The clothes are not only stained with rouge, but also have a faint scent of flowers. He never lets women get close, even if he has to go to the place of fireworks to investigate the case, with his skill, he should avoid the rouge on the front of his clothes. "

In fact, Su Yuan even touched the fake Bai Yutang's face and hair to confirm.

Skin texture is different.Bai Yutang's skin is more delicate, with the smooth feeling that the skin naturally secretes oil. Although the fake skin is realistic, it lacks this feeling and feels a little dry.

Hair texture is also different.God really favors Bai Yutang too much, he arranges everything good on him, even hair.Bai Yutang's hair was as black as ink, shiny and smooth, and it would become even softer after washing.But this man's hair was a little dry and frizzy after washing. Although it was still wet, it didn't prevent it from feeling like straw to the touch.

However, Su Yuan was not easy to tell Zhan Zhao about Bai Yutang's fumbling around, so she only mentioned the suspicious point about the clothes.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce came later, and after seeing the scene, both of them were surprised by the rampant ghost.Now that they are in the limelight to arrest them, they dare to come to Kaifeng mansion to provoke, pretending to be Bai Yutang under the eyes of everyone.

"Then where is the white guard now?" Bao Zheng asked with concern.

Su Yuan said: "Bai Fu said that he went out today to meet his friends in the world to collect news about ghosts, but he didn't say where he went."

Bai Yutang has always acted like this, and will not reveal too much about his whereabouts.Presumably that's the case, the people in the ghost team would want to take the risk and pretend to be him.

"I just hope he's okay." Gongsun used a bamboo stick to snatch out a small amount of pale pink powder from under the dead man's nails.This powder is almost the same color as the nail in the crevice of the nail, so it is difficult to distinguish it with the naked eye.

Judging from the fact that the deceased died of poisoning after licking his fingers, these powders should be poisonous.

Gongsun Ce raised the dead man's hand and carefully observed his nails. He found a little red residue on the back edge of the nail of his right middle finger close to the skin. After wiping it repeatedly with a damp cloth, it was confirmed that this red spot was not blood.

Gongsun Ce called Su Yuan over, "Look at his nails, they seem to have been scratched and polished."

Su Yuan nodded, and after a closer look, he found that the nail surface of the deceased was not as smooth and shiny as ordinary people.

Su Yuan immediately thought of what that little red might be. "This is like Koudan, which is specially used by women to dye their nails. His normal nails may be red, but he scraped off the red nails on his hands in order to pretend to be Bai Wuye."

This is a very important clue.A man as tall as Bai Yutang, dressed as a woman, has a good appearance. Compared with ordinary people, this kind of person will definitely attract more attention.

Su Yuan glanced at the male corpse on the ground, and said again: "I guess this person probably came from the land of fireworks, not to mention that his nails were painted with Kodan, and the old clothes were also dyed with red rouge and a scent of flowers. Since he is disguised as five Lord, it's unlikely that he went to eat flower wine on purpose, which is not in line with Wu Ye's usual temperament. Then it is very likely that he came from this place, and the red rouge and flower fragrance were accidentally stained on it."

Both Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce agreed with Su Yuan's statement, and ordered people to first focus on searching brothels and other places for fireworks.

At this time, Bai Fu came with Jiang Ping, Lu Fang and other four mice.All four of them are safe.

Lu Fang and the others were shocked when they saw the fake Bai Yutang. They never expected that the fifth younger brother who talked to them not long ago was actually a fake.

Lu Fang and the others were so angry that this ghost, Jianchou, drugged them with wine and ruined their fifth younger brother's happy life, and now he pretends to be fifth younger brother to play tricks on them!

"What do you think of us five rats? We are playing monkeys! You really think we five rats are easy to mess with!" Lu Fang shouted angrily, "Brothers, give me your best! If you don't come back in this life! In the empty island, if you dig three feet into the ground, you will end up with Lian Wo!"

Han Zhang, Xu Qing and Jiang Ping all agreed in unison indignantly.

"Fortunately, the notification was timely this time, otherwise Fourth Master Jiang would have set off. There might be some trap here!" Bai Fu sighed.

"Where did he ask Fourth Master to go?" Su Yuan asked Jiang Ping.

"This bastard previously claimed that there were clues to ghosts, and asked me to go to Huimin River to search for a painted boat decorated with colorful silk and white chrysanthemums." Jiang Ping replied.

Bao Zheng asked Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao to take people to the boat, and repeatedly told them to be careful. There may be a trap for ghosts, but there will also be clues.Danger and opportunity coexist, which is why Bao Zheng asked Zhan Zhao and Su Yuan to go here at the same time.

The rest of the staff were divided into two groups: Lu Fang and others were in charge of visiting their acquaintances in Beijing to see if they could ask Bai Yutang about today's itinerary, find out his whereabouts or general whereabouts.Wang Chao and others took all the hands of Kaifeng Mansion and searched for people throughout the city according to the past practice.

Su Yuan immediately rushed to Huimin River together with Zhan Zhao.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference is currently being held on the bank of the Huimin River. Lanterns are hung high on the bank, and various blooming chrysanthemums are placed on the boats leaning on the bank.The flower sellers kept shouting, and there were a lot of customers asking prices, noisy, crowded, and pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder.The entire wide Huimin River is shimmering, and more than a dozen painting boats are driving slowly on the river.

"It's so lively." Su Yuan sighed.

"Yes, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference is so lively every year, have you never been here before?" Zhan Zhao responded to Su Yuan's emotion while searching for the painting boats on the river.

Su Yuan: "No, I don't like chrysanthemums very much."

Chrysanthemums always reminded her of death and dead people.Although he has seen a lot of life and death, Su Yuan still doesn't like to feel sentimental about life and death.

After Su Yuan looked around the river, he didn't see the boat that Jiang Ping mentioned for a while, and Zhan Zhao also said he didn't see it.

The two of them rode upriver.

Zhan Zhao was very worried about Bai Yutang's safety, and thought that Su Yuan must be more worried about him than himself, but it didn't seem to be the case, he found that Su Yuan had always been very calm.

"Aren't you worried about him?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"With his intelligence and vigilance, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to take risks, it is unlikely that something will happen." Su Yuan replied.

"Then what if he took the initiative?" Everyone knew Bai Yutang's character, he was the least likely to be provoked, and the easiest to act on his temper.

"That's his own choice, and I respect his choice." Seeing Zhan Zhao's surprised expression, Su Yuan asked him, "People are responsible for their own choices, aren't they?"

Zhan Zhao's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Su Yuan to see it so clearly.In fact, the truth is sometimes very simple, but it is difficult for people to see clearly when they are deeply involved in it.Su Yuan was different, she jumped out completely and could see clearly.

The girl in front of him was no longer the little girl he thought needed to be protected everywhere.Under her seemingly delicate and pleasant appearance, she has a calm and wise judgment, a tenacious heart, and even more superb martial arts.

Zhan Zhao is proud to know such a powerful woman.

"That ship!" Su Yuan pointed to the only boat on the east side of the river decorated with white chrysanthemums and hung with colored silk, and the boat was slowly heading towards their side.

This ship is large and luxurious, and the naked eye can see that there are not a few guards on board.

"This ship is definitely not simple." Zhan Zhao asked Su Yuan's idea, "Should we investigate secretly or explicitly?"

"Check it out, that guy asked Jiang Ping to check it secretly, there must be something tricky."

Zhan Zhao agrees: "I think so too."

Zhan Zhao ordered the yamen servants to get a boat, and he took the boat with Su Yuan and sailed towards the painting boat.

When their boat was more than ten feet away from the painting boat, the guards on the boat became vigilant, clutching the knives around their waists, and loudly asked who was coming.

Zhan Zhao reported his name, "Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank bodyguard of Kaifeng Mansion, was ordered to investigate the case, please cooperate."

"Presumptuous, do you know whose boat this is, dare to disturb my master's elegant mood?" The shouter ran out of the cabin angrily, wearing a luxurious brocade, he was a middle-aged man, but he had no beard.

Su Yuan had a premonition when he heard the word 'presumptuous', and after seeing this middle-aged man without a beard, he confirmed it even more.

Su Yuan tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Zhan Zhao: "The people of the royal family are probably from the palace. We are lucky today!"

"There is also Su Yuan, the female justice of the Kaifeng Mansion!" Zhan Zhao added loudly to the middle-aged man.

Su Yuan looked at Zhan Zhao with a little surprise, and muttered, "I really didn't see it, Hero Zhan would betray his teammates at critical moments!"

"How can this be called betrayal, tell the truth, aren't you with me now?" Zhan Zhao explained.

"Let them come up." A female voice came from the cabin.

The middle-aged man hurriedly apologized, urging Zhan Zhao and Su Yuan to get on the boat.

Zhan Zhao said to Su Yuan: "Look, it's more useful to report your name."

After the two arrived on the boat, the middle-aged man immediately told them the identities of the people in the cabin, including the queen mother, Li Taihuang and the king of Xiangyang.

"The Empress Dowager is in a good mood today, so she came to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference, but you two disturbed her."

Zhan Zhao humbly apologizes.

Su Yuan lowered his eyes, weighing the identities of these three people, especially King Xiangyang.

The two were then led to Empress Dowager Liu, and after paying respects, they got up.

"Hey, let me take a look, we are the first woman in this dynasty to be an official outside the palace." Li Taihuang and Concubine Li smiled kindly, asking Su Yuan to look up, so don't be shy.

Su Yuan raised her head according to her words, and the first seated was the majestic and graceful Empress Dowager Liu, and next to her was the talking Empress Dowager Li, the biological mother of the King of Xiangyang, who was slightly older than the Empress Dowager Liu, and she was smiling all over her face. It looks very kind.

The two of them were sitting in this room, and they did not see King Xiangyang.

"Unexpectedly, it is widely rumored that the brave and invincible master outside, this looks like an ordinary little girl. Look at her body, she is not as tall as the maid next to me!" Li Taihuang and Dowager asked Su Yuan if she It can really carry a seven-foot steel knife.

"If you go back to the emperor's concubine, it's a sensuality." Su Yuan said that she actually brought a big knife, because it was not appropriate to bring a big knife on board, so she unloaded the knife.

Concubine Li Taihuang quickly asked Su Yuan if he could show them the two tricks in person.

Su Yuan agreed, and looked at Empress Dowager Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu nodded lightly.

Su Yuan took the big knife and played two tricks in front of the two.Because of the limited space, the moves that can be played are actually very simple, but because of the fast speed and the popularity of swinging knives, it is enough to shock Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Dowager Li.

"Who said daughters can't make heroes! Good boy, you really give us women a face!" Empress Dowager Liu praised Su Yuan greatly, her eyes were full of admiration for Su Yuan.

Empress Dowager Liu then rewarded Su Yuan with two gadgets, and only then did she ask them why they boarded the ship today.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly explained: "At the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference today, a burglar robbed the money and escaped by diving. The officials waited for the investigation along the river. They were worried that the thief had boarded the ship, so they came to inquire. Unexpectedly, they disturbed the Empress Dowager and the Taihuang. Toffee's elegance."

The cause and effect of the case are too complicated, Zhan Zhao can't explain everything in one breath, and it's not easy to disturb the Queen Mother's next interest, so Zhan Zhao finds a suitable excuse to explain for the time being.

"It's not easy for you. You are so serious about catching a thief." Empress Dowager Liu wanted to say that her ship was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for a thief to catch a thief.But after thinking about it, there is no absolute in everything, and it is rare for an official to do things so seriously.She ordered the servants to cooperate and let them investigate.

After the two left, Empress Dowager Liu remembered that there was no one in the house, and asked Li Taihuang and concubine where King Xiangyang had gone.

"After drinking two glasses of wine, he said he had a headache. Most likely he hid to sleep. He can't do it. It's not as good as the two of us old men."

Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Liu lamented that it may not be a good thing that this son is too obedient.

"He was not allowed to drink when he was young, but he has always been obedient, so that at this age, he still doesn't have the slightest capacity for alcohol, and he gets drunk when he drinks."

"How obedient the child is, it is enviable." Empress Dowager Liu said with emotion.

……

Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao quickly searched the entire ship except the room where King Xiangyang rested.

When the two were about to disembark, a guard sent a message to tell the king of Xiangyang that he had woken up.

"Ok."

Su Yuan sneered, woke up and told them what to do.

Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao still had to get off the boat afterwards.

"My lord said that his room was not searched, and there is no special case. Since Kaifeng Mansion is investigating the case, we should fully cooperate. That's why I ordered the villain to send a message, please go and search his room as well."

Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao had no choice but to go as ordered.

When the two entered King Xiangyang's room, they saw King Xiangyang standing by the window with his hands behind his back, with his back facing them.He was wearing a jade-colored brocade robe, with a slender figure and a crown of jade on his head. His hands were slender and slender behind his back. The index finger of his right hand was hooking the jade fan pendant, and the jade fan was hanging underneath like a pendant.

After the two of them saluted, King Xiangyang didn't say a word, but the servant next to King Xiangyang asked them to search casually.

No matter how big the room on this ship is, it will be nowhere to go, and there are even fewer places to hide people.

Both Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao didn't understand the purpose of King Xiangyang making such a fuss, but since he had such a high status and had such a request, they could only cooperate, conduct a symbolic search, and then leave.

Su Yuan opened the closet and took a look at it, and then he met Zhan Zhao, saying that the search was over and he wanted to leave.

"You might as well drink a cup of tea before leaving." A pleasant male voice came from the window.

Both Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao saw that the King of Xiangyang, whose back was turned to them, finally no longer half-hidden his face towards the river.He turned and spoke to them with a smile.

Su Yuan's and Zhan Zhao's eyes stayed on the face of King Xiangyang for a moment at the same time, and then they looked away, thinking calmly, have they seen this person before?

The king of Xiangyang had already sat down, and the servant next to him wanted to come forward to serve him, and the king of Xiangyang raised his hand to signal him to step down.He personally turned the upside-down jade teacup on the table and poured the tea soup.

The King of Xiangyang smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to signal Zhan Zhao and Su Yuan to sit down and invite them to drink tea.

The prince personally invited him to drink tea, it would be impolite not to sit down, it would be impolite not to drink, and it would be even more impolite to spill the tea.

But how Su Yuan looked at it now, how did he feel that King Xiangyang's face looked a bit like Wang Yu's.Although there is a big difference between Xiangyang Wang and Wang Yu in terms of appearance and senses, Xiangyang Wang's side face is very angular, and his appearance is obviously full of masculine heroism, and it is not as white as Wang Yu, but the eyebrows, eyes and lips of the two are very similar. Like, height too.

In a nutshell, it is a strong sense of sight, but you have no obvious evidence to prove this feeling.

Su Yuan felt that Zhan Zhao should feel similar to her, that's why he was hesitating like himself.

"Why, the two of you won't give this king a bad face?" King Xiangyang suddenly suppressed the smile on his face, his eyes fell on Su Yuan after scanning Zhan Zhao, and then met Su Yuan's eyes.

That kind of playful and interesting look made Su Yuan immediately think of Wang Yu's look at him when he jumped off the cliff.

Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao then sat down at the table.

"Drink." King Xiangyang raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the teacup.
