Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

The people around were all startled, and thought: I didn't expect this seemingly elegant imperial cat to be so cunning!Deliberately let the surname Zhou show his flaws!

Zhou Jin was choked by Zhan Zhao's words, and after a while he glared at Zhan Zhao angrily and said, "You...you talk to me!"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows: "If you hadn't done anything wrong, you wouldn't have been tricked out."

Just as Zhou Jin was about to reply, he heard familiar voices outside the door: "Master, master... where are you?"

Knowing that it was his wife's voice, Zhou Jin hurriedly shouted: "Madam, why are you here?"

After saying that, I saw Madam Zhou walking in with a big vase in her arms, followed by Butler Zhou with a worried expression on her face.

"Master, master, did you get that knife?"

Zhou Jin was so desperate that he looked at his mad wife, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang beside him, and sighed softly, "Madam..."

"Master, quick, quick, take that knife and you can open your eyes. If you open your eyes, you can know where our children are. Look, master, I brought all the vases. Quickly open your eyes to see our children." Where is it? I miss Ayu so much, I miss him so much..." Mrs. Zhou's eyes were full of selfless excitement and joy, completely unaware of her husband's situation, just urging her husband blindly.

"Master, madam, she..." Butler Zhou looked at Zhou Jin with some embarrassment.

Zhou Jin couldn't move after being tapped, so he could only sigh.

When Mrs. Zhou saw that her master was not moving, she picked up the vase again, trembling so much that she wanted to hand it over, but she didn't want to, she lost her grip and the vase fell to the ground.

"Bangdang-"

The vase broke into many pieces.

Grains of black and white things with red threads jumped out and scattered all over the ground.

When everyone saw the contents in the bottle, they couldn't believe it, and Min Wuxue screamed in fright.

Bai Yutang frowned and looked at the things on the ground, resisting the desire to vomit, and walked out the door.

Mrs. Zhou was like the most precious treasure that had been smashed. She was so frightened that she hurriedly lay down on the ground and rolled those things into her arms, murmuring: "Ayu, Ayu, my Ayu is gone. Ah Yu... don't be afraid, mother will come to find you soon, don't be afraid..."

Steward Zhou couldn't stand it anymore, he grabbed Mrs. Zhou's body and pulled her up: "Madam! Don't be so confused!"

With a "crash", the things Mrs. Zhou picked up fell to the ground again, some bounced a few times on the ground, and rolled a little further.

Those, one by one, black and white, even bloodshot eyeballs lay on the ground like this, looking at the family of Luoxi Mansion.

Mrs. Zhou suddenly stared at those eyeballs in a daze, and after a while, she covered her face, sat on the ground helplessly and burst into tears.

The eyeballs on the ground don't move anymore, they just stare alone, watching...

After that, Bai Jintang set off a signal flare and called his subordinates, asking them to lead the government to catch the murderer and deal with the funeral.

Zhan Zhao sat in front of the gate of Luoxi Mansion, looking listlessly at the sky.

Bai Jintang walked to Zhan Zhao's side, sat down too, and said with a smile, "Little cat, what's the matter, you're here alone in a daze?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw that it was Bai Jintang, so he shook his head and said, "I was just thinking about something."

Bai Jintang said, "What's the problem?"

Zhan Zhao said: "I originally thought that the purpose of killing people and stealing eyes was for those unrealistic No. [-] in the world, but just after seeing Mrs. Zhou, I realized that what she has always been thinking about is her own flesh and blood...Would it be wrong to treat her like this?" Would it be too cruel?"

Bai Jintang shook his head: "Little cat, no matter what the purpose is, no matter how great, touching, and righteous the purpose is, as long as it threatens the safety of other people, it is wrong and you have done something wrong. People who do bad things are bound to take responsibility for what they did.”

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and then he relieved himself and said, "Brother is right, what kind of cause is planted, what kind of result will be reaped, right and wrong, it should be dealt with rationally, and it must not be done by will."

Bai Jintang smiled and nodded.

Zhan Zhao stood up, and suddenly asked as if thinking of something: "By the way, brother, do you want to tell Bai Jinyang the truth?"

Bai Jintang raised his eyebrows, looking at Zhan Zhao with some approval: "What's the truth?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Bai Jinyang is the 'A Yu' whom Mrs. Zhou has been talking about for many years."

Bai Jintang smiled and said, "How did you know that Bai Jinyang is the child who disappeared back then?"

Zhan Zhao said: "I didn't expect it at first, but on the mural in the hidden room of Qianji Pan, I accidentally found that the person of the Aruo tribe who commanded the world was wearing the yellow stone of Tianxuan. Before his death, the old man Shenji handed over the Yellow Stone of Tianxuandi to his closed disciple Lu Yin. Judging from the meaning of this mural, the Yellowstone of Tianxuandi should be a sacred object of the Aruo clan, and the Qianjipan in Luoxi’s mansion is The old man Shenji worked so hard to create it, so the old man Shenji must be inextricably related to the Aruo clan..."

"Afterwards, I recalled what old housekeeper Zhou said at the time. He once said that the Zhou family had a son, but he was looted by the enemy more than ten years ago... I thought at the time that I would be able to go to this treacherous sky. Shan, and the person who easily snatched away the young master of the Zhou family must not be an ordinary person. When I think back to what my elder brother said about Lu Yin, the fortune teller, who put the five-year-old Bai Jinyang at the gate of Bai's mansion, I feel that there is something wrong with him. This inference is increasingly likely."

Bai Jintang nodded: "Go ahead."

Zhan Zhao breathed out: "Zhan Zhao speculates that the old man Shenji is also a member of the Aruo tribe, so his disciple Lu Yin, the fortune teller, also knows everything about the Aruo tribe. After the old man Shenji passed away, Lu Yin had insight into Zhou Jin's thoughts. To earn the obsession of the world by relying on the ancient ritual method of the Aruo people, he took away Zhou Jin's only son and Tianxuandi Huangshi. Thinking about it, Lu Yin hoped that Zhou Jin's family could enter the world to find a son so as to give up that crazy This is why he deliberately handed over the captured child to the Bai family with a good reputation and wealth, and was afraid that the child would learn bad things in the future, so he asked his elder brother to help "care" for him. This also explains why Bai Jinyang has The reason for Dihuangshi... It's a pity that Zhou Jin was blinded by desire, and he didn't try his best to find his own flesh and blood."

Bai Jintang said with a smile: "The kitten is really not simple, Yutang really did not choose the wrong person."

Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at Bai Jintang with a smile: "Then, do you mean to say it or not?"

Bai Jintang thought for a while, and replied: "Let me give him a try on this matter."

Zhan Zhao moved his eyes: "Brother, do you want to test that Bai Jinyang's character?"

Bai Jintang smiled slightly: "Exactly."

……

Half a day later, several people went down the mountain.

"There is one thing I haven't figured out yet. How did you know that the vases in the Zhou couple's room contained those eyeballs?"

Zhan Zhao scratched his face, looked at Gongsun and said, "Well, I'm ashamed to say that, in fact, during the initial investigation, in addition to asking Butler Zhou to take me through each room, I also took advantage of them not paying attention, and opened the door. I have observed the tiles in each room, and when I looked down from the height, I found that there were strange things in the vase, but I didn’t think much about it at that time, and I realized that the vase was different after seeing the murals.”

Hearing this, Bai Yutang frowned: "Mao'er, you didn't listen to me, and wandered around in Luoxi mansion without permission?"

Zhan Zhao hurriedly said: "After Steward Zhou took me through it, I memorized all the routes by heart, and made sure I didn't go wrong before I went to investigate."

Bai Yutang said: "Even if you memorize the way by heart, don't act recklessly. If this happens again next time, you must call me. Do you hear me?"

Zhan Zhao curled his lips, but still reluctantly answered "Yes".

Gongsun thought for a while and said, "So that Zhou Jin had the 'eye of the sky' on his forehead, and you discovered it when you were peeping? No wonder you asked me about the cure for the tumor on my forehead."

Zhan Zhao said weakly: "Peeping? Mister, can't you change the word... um, a more elegant word? I just happened to see Zhou Jin take off the scarf when I was investigating alone."

Gongsun said: "Spy, spy, spy, spy, spy, wait, wait, wait, choose one?"

Zhan Zhao is speechless, Mr. is really talented!Why Mao casually said a few words are all derogatory!Clearing his throat, Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at Bai Jintang who was beside him: "Brother, didn't you say you wanted to try Bai Jinyang, what happened?"

Everyone once again lamented the ability of a certain cat to change the topic.

Bai Jintang replied: "Well, I told him that there is a large amount of wealth somewhere in this mansion. As long as he exchanges the yellow stone with me, I will tell him the location of the treasure. I don't want him to flatly refuse, saying that the yellow stone is something he has worn since childhood." If I want to borrow things for a few days, I can, but if I want him to sell or give up, it is absolutely impossible. After that, he scolded me, saying that the treasures in the house should be handed over whether the owner is still there or not. It is immoral for people from the Luoxi Mansion to say that I want to take it for myself... Don't look at this kid as a mess in the Jianghu, but his character is not bad."

"So the eldest brother told him the truth?"

"It's telling the truth."

"That……"

"I agree."

Zhan Zhao turned his head, looked at the Luoxi Mansion that had gone further and further away, and smiled slightly.

A word of recognition, even thousands of words can't explain clearly, the bitterness of unclear words.

"Then I mentioned the rare treasures in the hidden room at the bottom of the lake by the way, and Bai Jinyang asked me to help him deal with it on the grounds that he was still young and didn't know how to manage money."

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce looked at the smiling Bai Jintang, and inexplicably thought of two words: profiteers!

After finally getting down the mountain, Bai Jintang seemed to have remembered something, and said to Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce: "I need to go ahead. I have been away from the Yelan Gang for too long, and there must be a lot of backlog."

Zhan Zhao said: "Brother, if you have something to do, you can go first, and we plan to go back to Kaifeng Mansion."

Bai Jintang looked at Bai Yutang: "Yutang, maybe you haven't been back to Yelan for a long time, why don't you go back with me?"

Bai Yutang said: "No need... that's right, let's get rid of all your people."

Bai Jintang was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhan Zhao, and then smiled: "Okay, those people were only here to protect you, but since you have this cat by your side, I don't think there is any need for it, it's just that, I can't keep track of the situation of my beloved brother!"

Bai Yutang snorted coldly.

Bai Jintang looked at Gongsun again: "I will come to Kaifeng Mansion to visit you one or two days."

Gongsun shook the feather fan and smiled slightly: "I hope that the goodbye will not be in the court of Kaifeng Mansion."

Bai Jintang laughed "haha" a few times, got on his horse and rode forward, and soon disappeared.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang began to helplessly drag Gongsun and his little donkey back to Kaifeng mansion slowly, but after a short walk, they saw a familiar figure rushing forward.

Zhan Zhao took a closer look and found that it was actually Zhao Hu who came.

Zhao Hu was panting on his horse and stopped in front of the three of them, and said out of breath, "Finally... I found... you, Bai... Bai Shaoxia, Jiang Jiang... Fourth master was injured My lord, my lord calls you to come back with me!"
