chivalrous cat and righteous mouse

Surrounded by his gaze, Zhan Zhao couldn't help raising his head, but he was facing Bai Yutang's charming obsidian eyes.He coughed lightly, and quickly looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable. For some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be some kind of magical power in Bai Yutang's eyes, which made people unable to move away when they saw them. , I am afraid that those beautiful eyes have been sucked away.He touched his nose and felt that there seemed to be some subtle ingredients in the air.

Bai Yutang originally just thought that Zhan Zhao looked pleasing to the eye, so he took a few more glances, but suddenly felt that something was not right, his sword eyebrows were slightly twisted, and he just stared at Zhan Zhao's face so hotly, Zhan Zhao became more and more uncomfortable being looked at by him, he dodged left and right, but still couldn't get rid of the increasingly hot eyes.

Zhan Zhao felt that there seemed to be a lack of air in his chest, which made it difficult for him to even breathe.He felt his cheeks getting hotter and hotter. Zhan Zhao raised his hand and put the back of his hand on his cheek. The scorching heat on his face spread to his whole body through the back of his hand. What would it look like in the mouse's eyes, but now he was going to be mocked by that stinky mouse again!Thinking about it, I couldn't help but pissing twice, it's not all because of that mouse!The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Zhan Zhao couldn't help giving the person opposite him a hard look.

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao, and there seemed to be an answer in his heart that was about to come out, but it seemed that a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing was pasted on top of the answer. He only needed to pierce the layer of paper to see the answer clearly. After all, the hateful thing was that he was powerless to pierce such a thin layer of paper.His intuition told him that Zhan Zhao was the key to breaking the paper, but how could Fifth Master Bai, who has always been proud and arrogant, want to use the power of others to do what he couldn't do.

In the end, Zhan Zhao was so embarrassed by Bai Yutang that he couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table, stood up abruptly, and called out, "Bai Yutang!"

Bai Yutang was slightly shocked by Zhan Zhao's sky-shattering call, he just felt that something that was bothering him finally broke through the barriers, showing a shallow head on the calm water.He smiled and stood up, ignoring Zhan Zhao's anger at the moment, strode over, grabbed his wrist and was about to walk out the door.

Zhan Zhao was inexplicably caught by him, and the anger in his heart suddenly ignited, he shook off Bai Yutang's hand forcefully, and growled at him, "Let go!"

Bai Yutang looked back at him in astonishment, not knowing why Zhan Zhao was angry with him.He lowered his eyes to look at his hand, and found that the hand he was holding Zhan Zhao just now was slightly red, which was caused when Zhan Zhao shook it away forcefully just now.Bai Yutang raised his eyes again, and his eyes fell on Zhan Zhao's face. Only then did he realize that Zhan Zhao's face was flushed to the base of his neck. He raised the corners of his mouth in a funny way, and his thin lips parted slightly, and said with a smile, "You weird cat! What are you crazy about?"

Zhan Zhao frowned into a furrow, he squinted his eyes to look at Bai Yutang, "It's you who went crazy!"

Bai Yutang felt a little wronged, he didn't do anything just now, why did he mess with this cat?He stood still with his arms folded, looked at Zhan Zhao, and asked him, "Bai is not talented, why did Master Yumao say that?"

Hearing that he suddenly changed his address, Zhan Zhao was at a loss for words for a moment, "What did you...Brother Bai just stare at Zhan so straightly..." The more he spoke, the more confident he became, but in the end, he couldn't even speak I can't hear you.

Bai Yutang thought it was funny, and he did burst out laughing. He laughed for a long time before he stopped, looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "Mao'er, are you a girl with a yellow flower? You and I are both men. What are you afraid of seeing?"

Zhan Zhao was a little annoyed by what he said, but he couldn't find anything to refute.There is nothing wrong with what Bai Yutang said. It is nothing wrong for two big men to look at each other, but the scorching eyes of this white mouse just now seem to be able to melt people. look.It's just that he only thought about these embarrassing words in his heart, and if he really let him say it, it would make him feel worse than killing him.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao didn't answer, Bai Yutang looked at his expression and understood what he was thinking.So he tossed his long hair, and changed the subject naturally, "Bai has just thought of a problem by accident, and I ask brother Zhan to give me some pointers."

Zhan Zhao knew that he was deliberately changing the subject, so he glanced at him gratefully, and then replied, "Brother Bai is too much, I don't know what the problem is with what Brother Bai said?"

"Bai is thinking about 'identity'." He paused, seeing Zhan Zhao's expression of "do not understand", and then continued, "You Zhan Zhao, if you don't have a sword in your hand and someone you know is by your side , probably no one would have thought that you are the majestic Southern knight. Does the same principle apply to other people? For example..." Bai Yutang deliberately gave him a long tone.

"Brother Bai is Yin Hua?" Zhan Zhao settled down, as if he was struggling in his heart. On the one hand, he couldn't believe it, and on the other hand, he felt that Bai Yutang's consideration was not unreasonable, because he He looks like a weak and poor scholar on the outside, and people will never associate him with those murders and evil things. In this way, the most dangerous place has become the safest holy place.

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment, then nodded and said to Bai Yutang, "Brother Bai's consideration is not unreasonable, but there is no evidence at the moment, the so-called reason is everywhere, and the unreasonable can't walk an inch, Zhan must first report this matter to Mr. Bao, and then with him My lord and Mr. Gongsun discussed a feasible countermeasure together. Right now, Tian Biao and Yin Hua have to break through separately, and then re-knead all the clues they have into the case to sort out a clue. If not, this case will definitely change increasingly complex."

After hearing Zhan Zhao's words, Bai Yutang was startled for a moment, and then suddenly yawned.He carried Hanyue on his shoulders, and kept kneading the back of his neck with the other hand. A lazy voice floated out of his mouth, "I'm tired, Grandpa Bai is going back to rest."

Zhan Zhao stood on the spot, staring at his back, a faint wry smile gradually rose from the corner of his mouth.

Tentative

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to the county government office, and Bai Yutang disappeared as soon as they entered the gate. Zhan Zhao guessed that he had returned to his room, so he went around to the study to find Bao Zheng. Zheng and Gongsun Ju were there, he saluted them, and then shared the clue information he had just obtained with them.

Bao Zheng lowered his eyes in deep thought, and sometimes exchanged glances with Gongsun who was seated beside him.Zhan Zhao saw that the two could understand each other when they made eye contact, and couldn't help feeling envious—wondering when he and Bai Yutang would be able to achieve such a tacit understanding?

"Guard Zhan," Zhan Zhao thought as he was driving, and quickly came to his senses after being called by Bao Zheng. He bowed and said "Yes", "You send someone to guard Yin Hua, which is called protection in the clear. Surveillance must be carried out secretly, and a few more people will be sent to check the background of Yin Hua and the seven deceased to see if they are related to each other."

Zhan Zhao nodded to accept the order, Bao Zheng turned his face to Gongsun, "Mr. Gongsun, please draw up a note and present it to the Holy One, saying that the government wants to read the case files of Yangzhou City. I guess, what Bai Shaoxia said The tragedy should have been recorded in the file."

Gongsun Ce hurriedly stood up, "Student understands."

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "That's it, let's stop here today! The two of you go back to your room to rest first, and tomorrow you will go to the ruined temple and the crime scene of the seven dead with the house."

Gongsun responded, and was about to leave, but found Zhan Zhao standing there with a serious face.He paced over and patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder, "Guard Zhan, why are you so dazed?"

Zhan Zhao followed the voice and looked at Gongsun, and after a while he said quietly, "This subordinate suddenly remembered something." Both Bao Zheng and Gongsun stared at him without saying a word, waiting for his next words, "This subordinate once sent someone to secretly He guarded the ruined temple to monitor Tian Biao's actions, but when his subordinates went down to the ruined temple in the afternoon, they found that there was not even a single person around the ruined temple." He paused, "Dare to ask, sir, have those people ever returned? ?”

Gongsun looked at Bao Zheng, then shook his head, "No."

Zhan Zhao's heart turned cold, and the expression on his face became more serious.He clasped his arms and said to Bao Zheng, "My lord, go down and look for it."

Just as Bao Zheng was about to reach out his hand to stop him, someone suddenly bumped into him from outside the door.Everyone heard the sound and looked, but it was Yin Hua who came.Yin Hua rushed over in a staggering manner, and spread his hand tremblingly, on which lay an ordinary sleeve arrow, with a note inserted at the sharp tip of the sleeve arrow.

"This is?" Bao Zheng walked around the table and leaned over to read the note together with Zhan Zhao and Gongsun.

"My lord! Someone wants Cao Min's life! Cao Min was resting in the room just now, when he heard some noise, he got up to check, but unexpectedly this thing flew straight over and hit the place where Cao Min stayed just now. "After listening to Yin Hua's words, everyone lowered their heads to look at the note in his hand. Everyone's eyebrows were knotted—there was only a blank note on it, and there was not even a word.

Bao Zheng wanted to reach out to take the sleeve arrow and the note, but he was stopped by Zhan Zhao, "My lord, I'm afraid there is something wrong, let the subordinate come down." After all, Bao Zheng didn't know martial arts, and he didn't know much about these hidden weapons, so he Nodding his head, he put down his hand to watch Zhan Zhao take the sleeve arrow from Yin Hua's hand.

When Zhan Zhao first saw the sleeve arrow, he felt familiar, but he couldn't see it clearly when he was holding it in Yin Hua's hand. Now that the sleeve arrow was in his hand, he began to look up, down, left, and right.The more he looked closely, the deeper his eyebrows furrowed. Finally, when he saw a hidden mark on the back end of the sleeve arrow, he finally stopped.
