White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

Bai Yutang went back to the Mei Mansion, he finished the task assigned to him by Min Xiuxiu, and wrote another letter by the way, asking his elder brother to help him find out who in Songjiang Mansion placed the order for the Daqing Bodyguard Bureau, and asked the Daqing Bodyguard Bureau to send the things to him. Send it to Bianjing.

And Zhan Zhao naturally returned to Kaifeng Mansion, before stepping into the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Chao called him from behind and shouted: "Lord Zhan!"

Zhan Zhao turned around, saw his hasty expression, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Wang Chao bent down and sighed, "Master Zhan is not well, something happened again."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he immediately ignored whether he was wearing official clothes or not, and asked him to walk slowly while panting: "What happened again?"

Wang Chao walked slowly for a long time before he recovered, and soon consciously walked quickly, saying: "Master Zhan, you don't remember, tomorrow is the martial arts conference! It doesn't matter that all the inns in Bianjing will be full. Yes, even though our Kaifeng Mansion and the Forbidden Army have arranged manpower near various inns and restaurants, we still don’t have enough manpower to manage it.”

"No, in the midst of the noise, several disciples of Qian Shengmen beat a commoner to death in a restaurant! Now many people are gathered around the restaurant, clamoring for Qian Shengmen to pay for their lives. Although Qian Shengmen said Don’t be afraid of these common people, but they were stopped by the imperial army, but they are hiding in the inn now, unwilling to hand over the murderer, so they are in chaos now, Commander Cao of the imperial army asked me to ask you to go over and deal with it.”

Wang Chao briefly explained the whole story in one breath, and Zhan Zhao sighed after hearing this. He has been dizzy these few days, but he did not expect to forget that it was just a few days before the martial arts conference, and Kaifeng Mansion was in chaos. Some trouble.

But things still have to continue, Zhan Zhao hurried to the Chonghe Inn, and heard that everyone from Qianshengmen lived in this inn.

Outside the inn, many people in gray and black linen clothes were surrounded, and they threw stones, rotten eggs, cabbage leaves and other things upstairs one after another. To prevent angry people from rushing in, you must know that the people inside are people from the quack, and if you rush up in such a nonsensical way, only the people will be injured.

Seeing Zhan Zhao approaching, the people shouted in unison: "Master Zhan is here, Kaifeng Mansion is here!"

Zhan Zhao walked in through the path left for him by the people, and the imperial guards at the door quickly opened a hole for him, and the person sitting facing the door in the inn was Cao Xu without exception.

As soon as he entered the door, Cao Xu looked at Zhan Zhao and exaggeratedly said: "Master Zhan, you are here, now Cao doesn't have to worry about it."

Cao Xu talked to Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao didn't talk to him, and asked, "How is the situation now?"

Cao Xu shrugged and said, "Is that what you see? The people outside are not willing to give in half a step, but the people in Qianshengmen are not willing to hand them over. Now they are hiding inside and acting like a coward."

Zhan Zhao frowned.Although their Kaifeng government has always ignored the affairs of the Jianghu people, it is their fault that such Jianghu people killed innocent people, and this is also Zhan Zhao's responsibility, but he still needs to understand the situation first before making any plans.

But before this matter, Zhan Zhao still had to appease the people outside the door.

So Zhan Zhao walked to the door again. The guards of the forbidden army looked at Cao Xu's face, and saw Cao Xu waved his hand, and all the guards who had blocked the entrance of the inn obediently dispersed.

And because of Zhan Zhao's relationship, all the people didn't crowd up in a hurry, but looked at Zhan Zhao as if he wanted to say something.

Zhan Zhao said: "Maybe I have cleared up the matter a bit. Please rest assured that the Kaifeng government has always adhered to the principle of fairness and justice, and will definitely handle this matter well and give everyone a justice."

When Zhan Zhao spoke, he carried some inner energy inside, making sure that everyone present could hear him, and his powerful voice gave people a calming effect.

The people present immediately said: "We believe in Kaifeng Mansion, and we also believe in Master Bao."

Zhan Zhao nodded to them, "Thank you."

"Please don't cause congestion here. If there is any news, Zhan will let everyone know as soon as possible."

The people said: "We don't block here, it should be fine to stand outside."

Zhan Zhao said, "Of course."

As a result, the 50 or [-] people who surrounded the entrance of the inn quickly dispersed. Although there were still some people who were unwilling to leave and waited at the entrance of the inn, they no longer made the imperial guards wary of these rioting civilians.

When Zhan Zhao turned around, he saw Cao Xu pointing his thumb at him, and praised him, "As expected of Master Bao's sect, Master Zhan has a certain degree of relaxation."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Master Cao is too much."

Cao Xu greeted a person: "Tell Mr. Zhan what you saw when you arrived at the scene."

A guard came up, and he was in charge of supervising the restaurant, so he was the first person to arrive at the scene, so naturally he knew the most.

"At that time, I suddenly heard someone inside saying that someone had killed someone, so I ran in quickly, and saw several disciples of Qianshengmen holding swords with blood on them, and a commoner had already fallen in front of their eyes. I went up to look The wound was pierced by a sharp object into the heart, and the person had no pulse at that time."

"Originally, I wanted to ask some brothers to control the Qianshengmen and the others, but I didn't expect that after they realized it, they would split up and run away. I didn't catch any of them, and they disappeared without a trace."

Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you are from Qianshengmen?"

The guard said: "That's right. When they entered the capital from Qianshengmen, I happened to see one of them walking with the people from Qianshengmen. The three of them were all wearing Qianshengmen's clothes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that."

Zhan Zhao asked, "What did the person who did the Shengmen say?"

Cao Xu spread his hands: "They didn't say anything, they just hid inside and didn't want to come out." After all, their Imperial Army is not responsible for arresting prisoners and interrogating them, just control the situation and wait for the people from Kaifeng Mansion to come.

Zhan Zhao nodded: "I'll go in and have a look, thanks for your hard work."

Cao Xu looked at the Yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion who had arrived quickly, nodded and said, "It's our duty, we will leave when you are all here."

Cao Xu arranged for someone to hand over, and soon led all the forbidden troops to evacuate the Chonghe Inn.

For this martial arts conference, there were not many people from Qianshengmen, including the master, there were only about [-] people. Everyone lived in this inn, and they all lived in the upper room.

Speaking of Qianshengmen, it is actually just a small sect that cannot be smaller. Compared with the previous Fengrenmen, Qianshengmen neither has a first-class master scene, nor does it have enough people all over the entire martial arts world. A few third-rate masters created a school.

Zhan Zhao really doesn't know what benefits such a sect can get from participating in the martial arts conference?

Zhan Zhao walked into the innermost room, which was the residence of the head of Qian Shengmen, he raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Master Gan?"

But after knocking for a while, there was no sound from inside, which made Zhan Zhao a little surprised, he shouted louder, but heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

Immediately, Zhan Zhao felt that something was wrong, and quickly pushed the door open with his internal force. When he entered the door, he saw the head of the Qiansheng Sect was on the ground, clutching his neck, his face was livid and ferocious.

Is this poisoned?Zhan Zhao hurriedly took out Mr. Gongsun's special antidote from the kit, and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.

But before Gan Sect Leader swallowed the medicine, his eyes were already blood-black, Zhan Zhao was feeling his pulse and breathing, and there were no signs of life.

Zhan Zhao frowned, and hastily opened all the rooms of Qianshengmen, only to see that all the disciples in Qianshengmen's clothes fell to the ground, and the dead appearance was not much different from that of the head of Qianshengmen.

Zhan Zhao sighed, walked down the stairs, and shouted to Dynasty below: "Chao Dynasty, invite Mr. Gongsun here."

The dynasty was unclear, so he said, "Why did you call Mr. Gongsun?" But he obediently ordered someone to call Mr. Gongsun, and then followed Zhan Zhao up the stairs.

When he saw that there was no living person inside all the opened doors, he was stunned: "This...what's going on?"

Zhan Zhao walked inside slowly, and probed the ground with water stains on the ground with the silver needle that Gongsun Ce gave him, and it turned black as expected.

"Toxic?" Dynasty quickly realized, "I'll call the store owner up."

Zhan Zhao looked around carefully for a long time, but found no trace of outsider intrusion, and the others were fine, it seems that the problem lies in the tea.

The store came quickly, and after knowing that someone died in his inn, the sweat on his forehead kept breaking out, and he couldn't wipe it off with a handkerchief.

Zhan Zhao said, "Who brought this water?"

The storekeeper quickly pushed the little er who was beside him, and the errand stepped forward tremblingly, and yelled, "Master Zhan! It's definitely not me! I have no grievances with them, how could I poison them? This must have been poisoned by someone else!"

The voice was a bit harsh at first, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and rubbed his frowning brows and said, "Then is there anyone in your inn who has been acting strangely today?"

But the shopkeeper and Xiao Er shook their heads together. These days, people from the rivers and lakes are running around, and they would not be able to find any strange people. They were all blocked by the forbidden army, who would poison and kill the people of Qianshengmen at this time?

This is something that even Zhan Zhao can't figure out.

Soon, Gongsun Ce arrived on horseback with an assistant, with a wounded hand and a heavy medicine box, saw the room full of corpses, and scolded his mother: "Damn, this martial arts conference is still going to die!" So many people died before it even started, how will we live the next day?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Mr. Gongsun, it's up to you here."

Then he ordered Wang Chao to say: "Investigate the other residents in the inn, and ask them one by one. The store owner and Xiaoer will follow me to Kaifeng Mansion. After the corpse is transported back, the inn will be closed. Let someone guard it. Don't let others Come in."

The dynasty replied: "Yes."
