White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

After eating and drinking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang started chatting about business again, and of course they were talking about the big cat in Zhan Zhao's courtyard who was playing by itself.

Although this family is very favored by the Holy One because of Concubine Zhang Guifei in the harem, but in recent years because the Empress Dowager Li returned to the palace, she used to get very close to the former Empress Dowager, so she was not very cared by the Empress Dowager Li. The biological mother who had been lost for many years owed something, so she gradually moved away from Concubine Zhang, which allowed Concubine Pang to take advantage.

The Zhang family thought it would be better to take advantage of Queen Mother Li's birthday to please them, so they tried their best to collect them into Bianjing, whether it was strange treasures or animals that were rarely seen in Song Dynasty.

It's just that the animal didn't adapt naturally when it came to an unfamiliar environment, and the animal trainer was careless. When the beast was transported into Zhang's house at night, the big cat scratched the chain and ran out by itself.

The beast trainer who lost the beast felt bad and ran away that night, so the Zhang family didn't even know that a beast was lost. He didn't hear about it until the next morning, and the Patriarch of the Zhang family was so scared that his heart couldn't stand the stimulation. , and immediately fainted.

Concubine Zhang Guifei heard the news in the harem, and knew it was not good, so she went to the Holy Majesty's study and covered her chest with a look of tears, only saying that the Zhang family did not do things properly, and hoped that the Holy Majesty would bypass them once for her sake .

But the Holy Majesty was furious. If Cao Xu and Zhan Zhao were not present at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous. If the people and ministers knew that the beast was hurting people because it was celebrating the Queen Mother’s birthday, what would the people and ministers think? ?

So the Holy One didn't give Concubine Zhang a good look on the spot, and only said to let her go back, and he would handle this matter well.

Concubine Zhang Gui is also an old man who has been with the Holy One for more than ten years. From the tone of the Holy Majesty, she knows that this matter cannot be resolved, but the Zhang family is her natal family, so she can't just watch the Zhang family fall like this, she can only be kind Face begged bitterly.

But this appearance made Empress Dowager Li who rushed over after hearing the news displeased. As a noble concubine, she meddled in the affairs of the court. Not only did she not know her mistakes, she also wanted to be forgiven. For a month, copy the scriptures and reflect on yourself!

When Concubine Zhang Guifei was dragged down crying, she struggled to ask to come before the Holy Master, seeing the expressionless Sheng Shang, she knew in her heart that this matter might not be as she wished.

Just as she thought, the Holy Majesty gave Bao Zheng instructions for a while, and when Bao Zheng came back, he asked Zhan Zhao to bring the Patriarch of the Zhang family and the relevant personnel responsible for hunting the beasts back to Kaifeng Mansion.And what happened is already very clear, just waiting for the Holy Spirit to make a verdict.

It sounds like the matter between the Zhang family and the Pang family will end here. The cause of the struggle between the two imperial concubines has always been a small cat. Among them, it was because of the killing of an important court official, but they were proud of the small gain. Conceited, negligent on a trivial matter, lost his sacred heart in an instant, and the wealth and glory of the Zhang family collapsed in an instant.

But is this really the end of the matter?The case of Zhou Shilang is still full of fog, but it seems that the emperor does not want to pursue the Zhang family's role in it. After all, Concubine Zhang is an old man who has been with the emperor for more than ten years, and she has worked hard without credit.Bai Yutang was noncommittal about these court affairs: "Then what about this big cat?"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao twisted his handsome face, and said with a wry smile: "The Holy Majesty said that if it is a big cat that doesn't hurt people, it should be taken care of by Yumao Zhan Zhao. If there is any abnormality, it will be killed on the spot." kill."

Bai Yutang finally couldn't help it, and laughed sullenly. The Holy One was clearly making fun of Zhan Zhao, not to mention that Nan Xia Zhan Zhao is a hero who has no karma with cats, but because his lightness kung fu resembles a nimble cat, he was conferred the imperial title The cats, even the big cats that jumped out randomly, let Zhan Zhao take care of them, but it didn't make Zhan Zhao depressed.

Seeing him laughing so happily at himself, Zhan Zhao didn't feel unhappy, but still wanted to tease him back, so he said, "Since Brother Bai likes cats so much, why don't you stay in Kaifeng Mansion."

Zhan Zhao was talking about the big cat in the yard, but it didn't sound interesting. If the maidservants heard these words, they would definitely pass out with excitement, but there were only him and Bai Yutang here, and Bai Yutang definitely didn't think about it. Crooked.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, stayed in Kaifeng mansion?Regardless of the fact that he has been learning martial arts from his master since he was a child, the places he has been to are rare places where people live, for the purpose of practicing martial arts.And after leaving the teacher, he stayed on Xingkong Island all year round, and never traveled far.

To put it nicely, it means retiring from the secular world, but to put it bluntly, it is just lazy. If Min Soo-soo hadn’t seen his four elder brothers pampering him so much, she didn’t want him to be busy with the family business, and she would spread these things on the rivers and lakes. It's not a good name, so let him go out and walk around more, Bai Yutang is probably still nestled in the empty island and doesn't want to go out.

He was able to come to Kaifeng because of a friend's request, and because of Min Xiuxiu's outspoken persuasion. Since the matter of the White Jade Cup has been buried with the Zhang family's collapse, he has no reason to stay in Kaifeng mansion.

Bai Yutang didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The atmosphere between the two of them froze in an instant, and Zhan Zhao seemed to know that he had said something wrong, so he was not embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "Besides, the martial arts conference is coming up, brother Bai, don't you want to compete on stage?"

Hearing what he said, Bai Yutang thought of the three Fengrenmen people he met today, and said, "Did Nanxia Zhanzhao also participate in the martial arts conference?"

Although the martial arts of the two are equal, Zhan Zhao's fame has spread all over the world since he was born. Later, because of his high martial arts skills, modesty and courtesy, he was called Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, who was as famous as Bei Xia Ouyang Xiu, and Bai Yutang was probably only like him. He has a reputation for changing his appearance when he hears someone say his appearance.

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and said, "It's strange, I've never heard of a martial arts conference before, and it's just that I suddenly heard that a martial arts conference will be held in the past few days, and it's in Kaifeng Mansion, because Mr. Bao is anxious about it." Lost a few strands of hair."

As the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, Bao Zheng was of course worried about the martial arts conference, but there was a Milky Way between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court.

Although Kaifeng Mansion has Nan Xia Zhan Zhao in charge of force, he has already been expelled from the Jianghu people, and many Jianghu people are unwilling to associate with him, so even if Chen Zihao told him about it, the news he received was still the same. One step slower.

Although Bai Yutang doesn't look like a Jianghu person, he is still different from Zhan Zhao: "This matter has been spread all over the Jianghu, and I have heard about it in Xingkong Island."

"Appreciate further details."

"I don't know if you've heard of the Devil's Cult."

Zhan Zhao's gentle expression froze immediately: "The Demon Cult?"

"It is rumored that 30 years ago, the Demon Cult ran rampant in the rivers and lakes, killing, burning, looting and doing all kinds of evil, and even wanted to compete for the secret treasures of the martial arts. Later, the Demon Cult was forced to retreat by the righteous way of the world, and the leader of the Demon Cult died in the battle between good and evil, and disappeared in the Central Plains. , and also maintained peace for 30 years. But not long ago, the Cheng family in Qingcheng Mountain was killed, and everyone said that the demon cult has made a comeback, saying that not only to avenge the past, but also to find a treasure."

Zhan Zhao said, "So that's why the martial arts conference is held?"

Bai Yutang nodded: "There are not many famous people with high martial arts skills in the Jianghu. Ouyang Xiu has not been seen in the northern border all the year round, and you have joined the public school. They naturally want to elect a person with first-class martial arts to lead the Jianghu decent to resist the evil spirits." teach."

Zhan Zhao's voice suddenly became a little strange, and he said coldly, "It's just a bunch of rabble."

Bai Yutang was a little strange, but thinking of the group of people he met today, he nodded and said, "It's indeed a mob." It was about the martial arts conference, but none of the well-known sects in the world showed their faces, and I don't know if they were afraid or unwilling to come out this head.

But Bai Yutang is a little interested in that secret treasure. People in the Jianghu have nothing to gain, and they talk about exorcism. something.

But when it comes to going on stage to compete, Bai Yutang propped his head and thought, one is because he is too lazy to move, and the other is because since he is on stage, he will definitely not hide his clumsiness. If he wins all the way, the troubles that will follow will only worsen big.

But what Bai Yutang didn't expect was that words should not be spoken indiscriminately, flags should not be erected indiscriminately, and one day he would regret what he said.

Of course, no one can predict what will happen next.

The most urgent task now is to find clues to pin Zhou Shilang's death on the Zhang family. Otherwise, after a long time, the Holy Majesty is unwilling to pursue the Zhang family, and the matter of Zhou Shilang's death can only be left alone.

While Zhan Zhao and Mr. Gongsun were busy, a woman asked to see Bai Yutang at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

It was the janitor of the government office who told Bai Yutang about this, but soon the attached maids knew that there was a woman seeking Bai Wuye, probably because of Bai Wuye's romantic history in the Jianghu, and immediately let him know. Many maids were heartbroken for Mr. Zhan.

Bai Yutang didn't know about these things, so he asked the yamen servant to bring her over with doubts in his heart. Seeing that this woman with a beaded curtain and a goose yellow body was the qin girl she saw in the teahouse last time, Bai Yutang just I remember that this qin girl's qin skills were not very good, but she was sought after by a group of dandies, which caused him a lot of trouble.

Bai Yutang asked calmly, "What's the matter, Miss?"

Qin Niang said: "It turns out that Bai Wuye still remembers Qin Niang, Qin Niang is very grateful, and it has been three days since the last farewell..."

Bai Yutang interrupted her abruptly: "If you have nothing else to do, you can go."

Qin Niang choked for a moment, and seemed to be frightened by Bai Yutang's uncouth expression. She didn't expect that he was so handsome, but he was a person who didn't care about beauty, and she didn't know how to say it.

As expected, Bai Yutang pointed out the door and said, "Please go back."

Qinniang felt helpless for a while, she could only knelt down and wept softly, "Fifth Bai, Qinniang is helpless, please help Qinniang!"
