White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

Zhan Zhao was quite absent-minded the next day, Chaoshi even ate a few buns less, and then went out to patrol with the yamen servants as usual, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce noticed this situation, and the two stood Look at each other together.

Gongsun Ce said, "My lord, this...?"

Bao Zheng smiled helplessly and said: "It's common sense to have other thoughts in your heart, so don't blame too much."

Mr. Gongsun thought Master Bao would have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhan Huwei. It seems that Bao Zheng understood something without needing to say more.

So Mr. Gongsun took out an envelope from his cuff and said with a smile: "Just in time, my classmate sent a letter of help, saying that someone from Songjiang Mansion attacked the locksmith and killed four people in a row, and the murderer could not be found. "

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let the guard Zhan go out in a few days."

At this time, Zhan Zhao didn't know that he had been clearly arranged by Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce. With the Queen Mother's birthday, Bianjing became more and more lively, because on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, there would be floats around Bianjing, and the Queen Mother I will also appear on the city tower to meet with the common people to enhance their reverence.

On the empty island by the sea, the five large islands and other small islands in the sea are surrounded by huge undulating mountains, forming a large island group composed of several islands. The sea is connected, but the water level is not deep, coupled with the surrounding green plants and the year-round spring-like scenery, such a naturally formed island group is naturally a sinking island.

Although the empty island is called empty island, it is not just an island, but a continuous island group formed in this way. Compared with the five large islands, the small islands between the five islands are shorter than the five large islands. Many of them seemed to be sinking, so it was named as the hollow island.

And the Five Rats naturally live on the five largest islands in the island group, the largest island is where the elder brother Lu Fang lives, and it is also the small island closest to the pier.The second elder brother Han Zhang lives on the island with the lowest terrain, which is not much different from the islands where Xu Qing and Jiang Ping live. Only Bai Yutang lives on the small island closest to the sea, and the side of the island near the sea is even more steep. , It is also because this island blocks all the wind and waves from the sea, so that the empty island will not be submerged by storms and dragons.Of course, the sea breeze is blowing on weekdays, and you can often eat all kinds of seafood.

The island is a broad road made of cobblestones, winding up the mountain. Bai Yutang's accommodation is located on the highest peak of the island. In fact, the highest peak is just a piece of flat ground pushed out by powerful internal force.

Because Bai Yutang loves to enjoy, so the courtyard here is very special, and the scenery is also very beautiful.

The white stone pillar promenade connects several different courtyards. White gauze is hung beside the promenade. The sea breeze often blows by the sea, and the gauze floats in the air from time to time. Coupled with green plants and sunshine, it is simply another style. beauty.

The outer layer of the main house is made of huge stones. It is two stories high. Inside the back-shaped house, the hollow part is filled with fresh water, rockery, and flower trees. It is a typical garden landscape. You can see it from the chair rail upstairs. It is the whole picture of the empty island. From a distance, you can also see the brightly lit scene of Songjiang Mansion at night.On the side facing the sea outside the house, a huge open-air pool was dug. The water in the pool is all flowing fresh water, and a gazebo was built on the pool, where those who are tired from swimming can rest.This is the highest place, there is no buffer when you look down, only the beach not far away, so this is the best place to watch the sea.

On the other side of the main house is the flower house that Bai Yutang spent a lot of money to build with colored glaze. It can also be said that this is the most delicate place on the whole island. Bai Yutang didn't come back for a month, and it was Min Xiuxiu who brought the maids to the island. Come and take care of it, fertilize and trim the branches.

With such a place, it's no wonder that Bai Yutang doesn't like to go out anymore.

Although he went out for a walk last night, Bai Yutang woke up early today. When practicing martial arts, Hanyue Dao was in his hand, waving it rustlingly, and he seemed very satisfied with his master.

After practicing martial arts, Bai Yutang sweated and went to the pool for a while, although no one else could go to the island without his consent, so even if it was an open-air pool, he took off his coat generously into the water.

From the point of view of body shape, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are both of the same body. They have practiced martial arts all year round but are not thick. They look thin when they are dressed. It can be concluded that this body has a very powerful explosive ability.

But Bai Yutang suddenly thought that when they took a shower together, he found that Zhan Zhao's shoulders would be wider, while his waist would be thinner.In terms of palms, they are about the same length, but Zhan Zhao's ring finger is longer than his middle finger, and his middle finger is the longest.Below the waist...

wait!Bai Yutang shook his head violently, splashing a splash of water nearby, why did he suddenly think of these things? !

Then he took a white cloth from the pool and wiped it, and went back to the house barefoot with a complicated complexion.

Just after getting dressed, Xu Qing's voice came from under the island.

"Fifth brother, are you awake?!"

If the four older brothers wanted to find Bai Yutang for something, they would either send Feige a message or ask Xu Qing to call him. Because Bai Yutang didn't want others to go to the island, the brothers who loved him came up with a way to make the loud voice The old Xu Qing came to the door and called for someone.

No, probably something happened again.

Bai Yutang didn't have time to use his internal force to dry his hair, and his inner shirt was also a little wet. He stepped on a huge chain tied to the big rock on the summit, and floated to the pier.

Xu Qing was holding the boat and waiting for Bai Yutang with a serious expression on his face. Seeing him coming down, he said, "Fifth Brother, something serious happened."

Bai Yutang frowned. He didn't know what made his elder brother so worried. Could it be that his elder brother's condition got worse, so he quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Qing said: "Brother, isn't he poisoned now? I don't know where the water villages outside got the news. They think that we are now leaderless on the empty island, and it is a time of weakness. They are planning to attack in one fell swoop and occupy the empty island." Island, seize resources!"

As the island closest to the Songjiang Mansion Wharf, the empty island has a very special location. In addition, the large islands are closer to the sea and have natural resource advantages. All kinds of seafood, fist-sized night pearls, and even huge blood corals were fished out from here as tributes to the Holy Majesty, so it is not unreasonable to say that the hollow island is rich.

Therefore, the hollow island has become the target of the nearby water villages, but those water villages are just a few small islands in the nearby waters, and they usually live on the tolls of the ships. The water thieves here are all a bunch of mobs, how dare they fight against the empty island?

You must know that although the empty island relies on the sea for its food, its rich reputation is not based solely on its ability to do business, but also has strong strength and the backing of experts like Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang was a little surprised when he heard it at first: "It's just a few water villages, don't they dare to offend Zhakong Island?"

Xu Qing wiped his sweat and said: "I don't know who is instigating those small water villages, they have formed an alliance, under the name of trapping the empty island, they want to come to ask for an explanation, if they don't satisfy, they will It's coming up."

Bai Yutang was displeased: "I think they dare?"

Xu Qing also knew his fifth younger brother's violent temper, so he stopped talking, and Bai Yutang said, "Thank you, third brother, where are they now? I'll go and see."

Xu Qing pointed and said, "It's just outside the roundabout, and the second and fourth brothers are now confronting them."

Bai Yutang nodded, and another person floated out.Xu Qing looked at his back, sighed and wiped his sweat. In order to hurry, he specially rowed a small boat to come here alone, and the fifth younger brother just floated over casually. Do whatever you want.

Bai Yutang didn't go to the area around the island first, but went to elder brother Lu Fang's yard to see how he was doing.

Entering the courtyard, I saw Min Xiuxiu who was a little anxious about the situation outside but did not dare to leave Lu Fang.

"Sister-in-law."

When Min Xiuxiu saw Bai Yutang, it was as if he saw a savior: "Fifth brother is here, I will watch over your eldest brother, you go and see how the situation is going ahead?"

Bai Yutang was not in a hurry, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know what those people want to do?"

Before anything happened to Lu Fang, Min Xiuxiu was in charge of Daozhong's finances, and knew a little bit about these things: "I do know something. The last time your elder brother went out was actually to discuss this matter."

"There have been more and more ship merchants coming and going. Our empty island is the only way to go overseas and the docks of Songjiang Prefecture. Your elder brother thinks that there is no need to charge the tolls. Once we come to empty island, we don't need to rely on it." To make money, secondly, it was to attract more ship dealers, so I discussed this matter with everyone, but I didn’t expect something to happen when I came back.” Min Xiuxiu couldn’t help wiping the overflowing tears with his sleeve, and soon Said sternly again.

"Only in this way, the life of those water villages will be difficult. Originally, there are few merchant ships passing by, but now the merchant ships are willing to spend more money to detour to the empty island, and they are not willing to go through the sea route of those water villages. Because of this, It offended the leaders of those water villages, and under the guise of letting us sink into the empty island to make an apology."

After hearing this, Bai Yutang sneered: "What am I supposed to be, so this is the idea?"

Min Xiuxiu said: "Today's event, I'm afraid those people have already prepared for it. Although you know water, fifth brother, those water thieves are usually insidious when fighting. You must be careful."

The villain is the most difficult to guard against, Bai Yutang nodded, listened carefully to Min Xiuxiu's instructions, and came to the confrontation place in the front on the big boat made by Xingkong Island.

The old man who followed the boat was Cao Bo, a veteran boatman who has sailed for 50 years. I saw him licking his fingers to sense the wind direction, looking at the east coastline and sighing: "Oh, what happened at this time? Let's see the weather. , I'm afraid there will be heavy rain today."

Bai Yutang's face darkened when he heard what he said.
