White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

Bai Yutang returned to Songjiang Mansion before the Empress Dowager’s birthday was in time. Zhan Zhao was a little surprised by this incident. The two of them were fighting side by side just now, but Bai Yutang had already left on the Yuzhao Ye Lion in the next second. Bianjing.

And Zhan Zhao wanted to find an excuse to go to Songjiang Mansion together, but he couldn’t do it, because the Queen Mother’s birthday will be in a few days. As the fourth-rank guard with a knife in Kaifeng Mansion, how can he leave Bianjing at this time to investigate other cases? .

Before leaving, Bai Yutang gave Zhan Zhao the key to the Mei Mansion, saying that if he had time, he could go to the Mei Mansion to sit down. Although the plum blossoms were about to wither there, the scenery in the garden was not bad, and there was still wine to taste.

Zhan Zhao rubbed the key in his hand, and sat on the wooden chair in the corridor in a daze.

Mr. Gongsun came from the other end of the corridor, raised his head from the book, looked at him strangely and asked, "Why is Mr. Zhan in a daze here? Where is Righteous Master Bai?"

Zhan Zhao's eyes were a little empty: "It seems that something serious has happened to Songjiang Mansion. Yutang has returned to the empty island."

A strange light lit up in Mr. Gongsun's eyes: "Yutang?"

It was only then that Zhan Zhao came to his senses: "Ah, it's Brother Bai." After calling out that name, Bai Yutang didn't seem to feel uncomfortable, and Zhan Zhao yelled and stopped, and both of them felt that there was no change Zhan Zhao kept the name on his lips.

Mr. Gongsun looked at him a little amusedly and asked: "I see that Mr. Zhan seems to be very worried about the righteous man Bai, why didn't he go with him?"

Zhan Zhao leaned against the red columns of the promenade, and stepped on the wooden bench with one foot curled up. The pond in his left hand had already turned light green because of the spring, and he held the sword in the other hand, hesitating for a long time. say.

Mr. Gongsun said: "If it's because of the Empress Dowager's birthday, maybe I can explain it to Mr. Bao."

Zhan Zhao came back to his senses and said, "No need, thank you sir, but let's talk about it after this matter is over. It's just that the letter from Zhakong Island seems to be very serious. I don't know what's going on with Yutang."

Speaking of Bai Yutang, he sneezed fiercely outside the city walls of Songjiang Mansion, but even so, it did not damage his handsome image in the slightest. If the maid of Kaifeng Mansion were here now, he would still feel that Bai Yutang beat him Sneezes are so cool too.

It's just that the situation in Songjiang Mansion seems to be worse than he imagined. Bai Yutang rode the Yuzhao Ye Lion on the streets of Songjiang Mansion. The guards at the gate of the city checked the passers-by one by one. Only then did Bai Yutang let him go smoothly.

On the street, the situation is even more different.Songjiang Mansion is close to the sea, and there are many merchants coming and going. Usually, there is a lot of traffic and crowds, and the shouts of merchants are endless. But now, it seems that there are not even a few merchants setting up stalls on the street, and the people passing by on the street are even more Rarely, most of them are in a hurry and don't look at other people's faces.

This scene made Bai Yutang frown, not knowing what happened.

But he still rushed to the pier, the largest pier near Songjiang Mansion, and went to the empty island via the boat on the empty island.

It was just that when approaching the pier, a group of people who seemed to be wealthy businessmen blocked the pier one after another, emotionally, but they always seemed to be blocked and unable to enter.

"I have 3000 taels of silver here, if you let me go there, I will give you the money!"

"Brother yamen servant, just let me go. I have seniors and juniors, and they are all waiting outside. I can't die here!"

From far away, Bai Yutang heard these strange words, and the servants of Songjiang Mansion also insisted: "You all go back, all of you can't leave Songjiang Mansion without orders from above."

Bai Yutang frowned, why didn't he mention the situation in the letter? In such a view, even the government of Songjiang Mansion has already restricted the people's travel.

Bai Yutang led Yuzhao Yeshi and watched for a long time, then heard a female voice coming from beside him.

"Isn't this Bai Wuye? Where have you been this month? Finally, you've returned to Songjiang Mansion. The masters are probably waiting in a hurry, right?"

Bai Yutang looked over from the source of the voice, and saw standing in front of him was a woman wearing a bright red skirt, with a large sleeved shirt embroidered with gold on the outside of the skirt, rich and gorgeous, with golden and red flowers on her brows. It seems that there are some shopping things in the bamboo basket.

Bai Yutang looked vaguely familiar with her, and asked, "Miss Yunting, why are you here?"

Yunting smiled sweetly, and the flowers between his brows became even more attractive: "I love fish and shrimp, and the tortoise man I bought recently has returned to my hometown, and there are no guests in the building, so I will buy some by myself."

That's right, this building refers to Fengqilou, and a beauty like Yunting is the oiran of Fengqilou.

Speaking of the relationship between Bai Yutang and Yunting, many rumors spread in Songjiang Mansion.Although Bai Yutang's martial arts are not very good in the eyes of people around Songjiang Mansion, but this person is good-looking!And such a handsome man shall be

Now it's the turn of an oiran to go shopping in the street. What happened?

Yun Ting seemed to see the doubt in his eyes, covered his mouth with his big sleeve and said, "Looking at Wu Ye's expression, I'm afraid you still don't know what happened in Songjiang Mansion?"

Bai Yutang nodded and asked her to continue talking.

Yunting looked around and saw that there was no place to sit beside him, blinking his eyes and said: "It's too noisy here, why don't Wu Ye come and sit in my building, how about I treat Wu Ye to a sip of tea by the way? "

But Bai Yutang was puzzled and said indifferently: "Just say it here, and I will go back to the empty island after I finish."

In Bai Yutang's eyes, no matter who he is now, he is probably less important than his elder brother, so he naturally has no leisure to go to the brothel for tea.

Yun Ting pursed her lips in grievance. She didn't know why, but she didn't dare to take Joe in front of Bai Yutang, so she said honestly: "This will start from a few days ago."

A few days ago, there was a spectacle near Songjiang Mansion, where the moon turned red at night.

From that day on, a strange rumor began to spread among the people, that is, the red moon will appear in the sky because God is dissatisfied with mortals, and he will send down a dog to spread disasters until the day of the full moon. The tengu will leave only after being cleared.

Soon afterward, someone was injured at night. Judging from the wound, it was the trace of being eaten by wild animals, and some dog hair was left on the scene, which made people believe that the rumor was true.

It would be great if things were just that simple, because the government specially sent people to patrol around at night to maintain order and arrest anyone who behaved suspiciously.

However, some people were bitten by the tengu one after another, and the subsequent discoveries made the people even more frightened.

Those who were bitten by the tengu turned into dogs.

Hearing this, Bai Yutang couldn't help asking, "How does a person turn into a dog?"

Yunting combed the hair at the sideburns, smiled softly and said, "Fifth Master didn't see it, I don't know, I saw a guest who was bitten, from an ordinary person to an animal without consciousness in an instant, He can even learn how to bark like a dog, like a second tengu pounced on everyone around him."

"What's even more amazing is that these human-mutated tengu bite other people and can spread this phenomenon, so this is why the streets are so deserted. Everyone dare not go out to meet people. I'm afraid that I will be the next one to be bitten."

Bai Yutang asked after hearing this miraculous story, "Don't the government just ignore it?"

Yun Ting put his eyes on the pier in front of him: "Isn't this under control? These businessmen want to escape from Songjiang Mansion, but they won't let them go without a doctor's decision."

Bai Yutang also looked at the pier. Seeing that bribery was hopeless, those wealthy businessmen could only leave in despair. They didn't have the guts to confront the government yet.

After they dispersed, the boat with the unique mark on the empty island on the pier was parked by the pier. Bai Yutang had good eyesight and immediately saw his fourth brother Jiang Ping standing on the bow with a clean face, looking in his direction.

"Fifth brother!" Bai Yutang saw the other party, and Jiang Ping naturally saw him, and shouted quickly.

Bai Yutang nodded towards Yunting: "Thank you for the news." Then he walked past Yunting and came to the guards composed of yamen servants.

At any rate, the yamen servant recognized Chinchilla, one of the five rats trapped in the empty island, and smiled when he saw him, "The fifth master is back? The fourth master has already told us to wait for you!" He immediately let Bai Yutang go.

Bai Yutang passed the guards, walked up to give Jiang Ping a hug when he was on the way, patted his shoulder which was much thinner than his own, and asked, "Fourth brother, the island is alright."

Jiang Pingping originally showed the joy of meeting the two, but upon hearing what Bai Yutang said, he shook his head with a sigh and said, "Do you know what happened in Songjiang Mansion recently?"

Bai Yutang nodded, and followed him onto the boat. The big boat that came specially to pick him up immediately set sail, heading for the empty island in their eyes: "Miss Yunting told me a lot just now."

Jiang Ping had a rare smile on his bitter face: "Of the five of us, you are the most popular among women."

Then he said with a bitter face, "There is nothing wrong on the island, but something happened to my eldest brother."

Bai Yutang immediately turned serious and asked, "What's wrong, big brother?"

Jiang Ping sighed: "What happened in Songjiang Mansion didn't involve Sunken Island, but my eldest brother was out to discuss business with people that day, and was attacked by a tengu on the way back to the island drunk."

As the boss of the empty island, Lu Fang is very capable in business. He always negotiates with others. When negotiating business outside, he will drink some wine, but he never stays outside. He did not expect to stumble on this matter.

Bai Yutang recalled Yunting's description of the symptoms of being bitten by a dog, and quickly asked, "How is brother?"

Jiang Ping said: "Although there is no danger of life now, there is nothing my sister-in-law can do."

Sister-in-law Min Xiuxiu's medical skills are rare to see, even her sister-in-law said that, Bai Yutang's eyes suddenly blurred.
