White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

As Mr. Gongsun said, this matter may not be that simple.

Someone actually killed so many people under Zhan Zhao's nose, and even Zhan Zhao didn't notice anything wrong.

Could it be that those people were already dead before Zhan Zhao came?But they died so silently that even Cao Xu and the guards of the Forbidden Army didn't notice. How did these people die?

"He died of poisoning." In Kaifeng mansion, in front of the door of Wu Zuo's room, Mr. Gongsun and Wu Zuo finished examining the corpse, and finally came to a conclusion.

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and asked, "What kind of poison is it?"

Mr. Gongsun paused for a while before wiping his hands, then shook his head: "I can't tell what kind of poison it is, but the outbreak of this poison is very special."

"The first symptom of poison in the human body is the blood churning in the body. If you are a Jianghu person, this phenomenon is similar to internal luck. On the heart. But the next manifestation is that all the blood will rush to the head, and finally, the brain is congested, and the blood vessels burst to death." Mr. Gongsun explained.

"Is this phenomenon like taking too much tonic?" Mr. Gongsun inexplicably told a cold joke, and sure enough, none of the people present made the slightest expression.

Zhan Zhao said: "Even if you take too much tonic, it will not cause death, and so many people are taking tonic?"

Mr. Gongsun said: "I also heard one thing."

Zhan Zhao asked for advice: "Sir, please explain."

Mr. Gongsun said: "The eyewitnesses at the scene of the commoner who sent Qian Shengmen to kill accidentally said that they didn't have much quarrel in the restaurant at the beginning, it was just a little thing, and the disciples of Qian Shengmen suddenly became furious, and their faces turned pale. Scarlet is ferocious, and she killed people with a single blow, which is why many people are angry, why do they kill innocent people?"

After Zhan Zhao listened, he always felt that something was wrong in his mind, but he couldn't catch the guiding line, so he hesitated: "This..."

Mr. Gongsun looked at his appearance, and finally revealed: "Is this similar to Zhou Shilang's situation?"

It was only then that Zhan Zhao suddenly realized: "Indeed, Brother Bai once said that when Li Kong saw Zhou Shilang and Aunt Wei making out, he also quarreled for no reason and killed Aunt Wei in a fit of anger." It is strange that there are similarities between the two cases.

Could it be that Qinniang didn't take the white jade cup out of the Kaifeng mansion, was it her plan to stay in the Kaifeng mansion, or the arrangement of the blade behind him?What exactly do you want to do here?

Zhan Zhao frowned, but he still didn't agree with his thoughts. Since Qinniang stole things from Kaifeng mansion, he quietly arranged for Zhao Hu to follow Qinniang secretly. According to Zhao Hu's news, Qinniang should not be in Kaifeng mansion now.Thinking left and right, Zhan Zhao finally waited for the latest situation of the dynasty.

Because the matter was urgent, Wang Chao didn't dare to ask someone to speak, but went there in person, and his face was covered with sweat even though he didn't even look at it.

"Lord Zhan, I asked you clearly. There is indeed nothing wrong with the store, and there is no poison in the food. It seems that the people from Qianshengmen were poisoned before they entered the inn."

Zhan Zhao asked: "What about the restaurant? Have you checked it too?" If the poison wasn't in the inn, then the most likely place was in the restaurant.

Wang Chao shook his head: "It is true that some traces were found in the food of the restaurant, but the people in the restaurant assure that they did not poison it."

"What evidence do you have?" Zhan Zhao asked without a trace of emotion.

Dynasty struggled for a moment and said, "They have no evidence, but they are not cooperating."

As soon as Zhan Zhao heard his tone, he knew that it was not simple. If there was a topic that even the guards of the Kaifeng Mansion hesitated, it must not be the imperial power, and it was the property of some nobleman. He asked helplessly: "Who opened this hotel?" ?”

Wang Chao said: "It was the estate given to Prince Zhao Xiu by the former empress dowager. When we went down to the restaurant, the prince was already in the restaurant. After asking a few questions, the prince blocked him back."

Thinking that Zhao Xiu was still pretending to be cowardly in front of Pang Yu yesterday, but today he is not even afraid of the people in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao sighed and shook his head, "It seems that Master Bao will be busy again."

When encountering such a situation, Master Bao is required to coordinate in the officialdom. This is something that even a powerful Zhan Zhao cannot do. This is the so-called specialization in art.

As soon as Zhan Zhao came out of Mr. Bao's study, he heard a familiar voice from the roof: "Cat, something happened to your Kaifeng Mansion again?"

Zhan Zhao looked up and saw that it was Bai Yutang standing on the ridge of the roof as usual. There was no wind today, and there were still some clouds in the sky. The place where Bai Yutang was standing happened to block the only sunlight that was exposed. It seemed that he was the only one in the dark sky People are shining.Looking at his left hand again, he wrapped the scabbard of Hanyue Saber with a white cloth, so that no one could see that he was holding the precious saber Hanyue in his hand.

"Brother Bai is done?" Zhan Zhao said, suddenly realized, "What did you call me just now?"

Bai Yutang easily floated down from the roof and said, "Cat."

Zhan Zhao: "?"

Bai Yutang said: "Look at the way you yawned just now, don't you look like a cat? Qinggong is so cat-like, no wonder His Majesty gave you the title Royal Cat."

Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know whether he was laughing at Bai Yutang's first time saying so many words, or because the title of Royal Cat caused him so much trouble.

But Zhan Zhao knew very well in his heart that it was because he assisted Bai Yutang to find his things back, and experienced the siege of the Jade Pavilion, that Bai Yutang finally regarded him as a friend.But the name cat is still very weird to Zhan Zhao. Looking at Bai Yutang's occasional smug expression, he suddenly shouted, "Then I'll call you Yutang too, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Bai Yutang couldn't help shaking his shoulders, and finally said, "None of my brothers ever called me that."

Zhan Zhao also said, "No one ever called me a cat."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other in dismay, and in the end they both dropped the topic unanimously.

The two were walking in the corridor of Kaifeng Mansion, green vines and branches were floating down from the eaves, Zhan Zhao asked: "How is it, have you opened the things your master left you?"

Holding the knife in his arms, Bai Yutang said, "It's not opened."

Zhan Zhao was puzzled: "Why? Didn't your master tell you to open it in a few days?"

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes, with a disgusted expression: "You don't know my master, I have a bad feeling, there must be something bad inside."

Zhan Zhao: "..." It seems that all elderly people have this personality, especially those with high martial arts skills, and they can't stop them from doing these things at all.

"It's your Kaifeng Mansion." Bai Yutang said with some distaste in his tone, "I heard that there was another murder case when I was outside?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Did you ever say that? There was a big commotion outside. The disciples of Qianshengmen who came to participate in the martial arts conference all died. Before they died, they killed a commoner, and the commoners wanted them to kill for their lives." .”

"He's from Jianghu again." Bai Yutang continued to say with disgust.

It's not unreasonable for Bai Yutang to dislike him. Ninety percent of the incidents that have happened in the past few days are caused by these Jianghu people, which caused Zhan Zhao not to rest for a few days.

Zhan Zhao continued: "The strange thing is that the death of this Qian Shengmen disciple seems somewhat similar to that of Zhou Shilang."

Bai Yutang frowned: "? Is it the same poison?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Basically there is no mistake."

Although Zhou Shilang's death was caused by Mrs. Zhou, Aunt Wei and Qin Niang were behind the scenes. These two women should not be underestimated. There must be a bigger organization behind them, but this time they are What do you want to do?

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's frown, and suddenly said, "Don't think so much, why don't you take Xiao Liu out for dinner today?"

Zhan Zhao was a little stunned, he didn't know how he suddenly shifted from the case to the meal.

Bai Yutang added: "Sister-in-law should reply to Li Huai's case in two days. Take your time and eat something first."

Looking up, it was indeed getting dark, Zhan Zhao nodded.

It is not an easy task to take Xiao Liu out for dinner. In order to prevent Xiao Liu from getting angry and hurting others, the Kaifeng Mansion specially made a collar, and Bai Yutang led him slowly outside. Of course, the main reason is that Xiao Liu He didn't want to let Zhan Zhao lead him.

So Xiao Liu walked step by step on the right side of Bai Yutang, while Zhan Zhao changed from the red official uniform and walked on the left side of Bai Yutang in a blue robe.

If only Xiao Liu had been walking outside like a tiger, the people would have panicked a long time ago, but when they saw Xiao Liu walking beside Zhan Zhao, the people of Kaifeng who trusted Lord Zhan and the Kaifeng Mansion suddenly became less afraid, Jokingly said to Zhan Zhao: "Master Zhan, how about walking the cat?"

That's right, the common people knew about the tiger running across the street last time, and naturally they also knew that Xiao Liu was currently being detained in Kaifeng Mansion, so it seemed that the people of Kaifeng Mansion didn't feel that a big tiger was taken out for a walk by Zhan Zhao. There is something wrong.

Although Zhan Zhao is not the one who actually walks the cat, Zhan Zhao still smiles and nods, beckoning to the people.

Walking into Zuixianju, more and more Jianghu people in Kaifeng Prefecture got the most intuitive feeling here.

Sitting upstairs and downstairs were Jianghu people with weapons. When they turned their faces to look at people, their faces were fierce, and ordinary people were so frightened that they did not dare to enter the door, and turned their heads and ran away.

But Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were not afraid, especially when they came to the door with a tiger, almost everyone's eyes were on them.

There is almost no one here who doesn't know Zhan Zhao, so after taking a look at Zhan Zhao, they put their eyes on Bai Yutang, and whispered, "Is he Bai Yutang?"

"That little boy with a pretty face, how high is his martial arts going?"

"Hush! Don't let anyone hear me. I heard that on the night of the Jade Pavilion auction, he defeated more than 20 second-rate masters. The person who can pull out the Hanyue Saber is definitely not a simple person."

Because there were too many people talking, Bai Yutang didn't listen to it at all, even if Xiao Er saw Xiao Liu, a big tiger, there, for the sake of money, he said without fear, "Fifth Lord, are you here? Please, the dishes are ready, is there anything else you need?"

Bai Yutang pointed to Xiao Liu and said, "Prepare two plucked chickens for him."

Xiao Liu groaned, heard his name, licked his paws and looked at Xiao Er.

Xiao Er wiped off the faint sweat and said, "No problem!"
