White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

Early the next morning, Bai Yutang went out.

At the end of yesterday's incident, it was Bai Yutang who asked a few brave servants to throw the dead man's body to the mass grave, and asked the maid to clean up the courtyard all night, and smoked the courtyard with plum cakes. Unable to smell it, Bai Wuye rewarded each of them with a silver ingot and told them not to tell it.

Although these men in black committed suicide, they were dead after all. It would be hard to explain if people from the government asked, and this was not Songjiang Mansion. When they came to Kaifeng Mansion, it was better to keep a low profile.

But Bai Yutang did not expect that it was this negligence that caused him to get into trouble again.

Of course, Bai Yutang couldn't predict what would happen next. He was going out this time to find someone.

What happened yesterday let him know that the Baiyu Cup seemed to be very important in someone's eyes, and this person must have a lot of background. Bai Yutang knew that this matter should not be dragged on. Start with this white jade cup.

Now that we know that the white jade cup is not old, and the workmanship is also a new product in recent years, the word Xue on the bottom of the cup is very meaningful.

But Bai Yutang inquired for a long time, and there is no jade shop with the character Xue in Bianjing, nor is there a jade craftsman surnamed Xue.

After coming out of the last jade shop, Bai Yutang still had nothing to gain, looked around and walked into an alley.

It is said to be an alley, but it is just an abandoned alleyway between two houses, the inside is full of dust, and there are a few gangsters playing Pai Gow on a dilapidated wooden table.

Bai Yutang let out the sound of footsteps, and heard a few hooligans looking back vigilantly, and happened to see a handsome young man in white standing in front of the alley with his back to the light, his slender figure seemed to be wrapped in a layer of light, like a god-man generally.

The vicious expressions of the gangsters suddenly eased, and they stumbled a little: "What... what is it."

Bai Yutang threw a bag of silver nuggets over, and the leader of the gangsters quickly took it and opened it to have a look. The bag was full of silver nuggets, which made people wonder why.

Seeing that there was still a bag of silverware in Bai Yutang's hand, he said in his cold voice: "Is there a man named Xue in Bianjing who makes good jade wares."

The gangsters looked at each other and shook their heads. Bai Yutang said, "If anyone knows, I will give this bag of money to him."

The gangsters suddenly got motivated, and quickly asked some brothers to ask, Bianjing is so big, how many of their brothers don't know?

Bai Yutang nodded, pointed to the teahouse not far away, and said, "If you have any news, you can find me there."

The punks immediately scattered and ran away without a trace.

Bai Yutang took out a fan and fanned himself, wasting half a day's effort, it would be easier to get things done with a little money.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang pulled himself up and went to the teahouse.

Bai Yutang changed his attire today, he was still dressed in white. The top button of the round-necked outer robe was unbuttoned, revealing his slender neck. Around his waist was a silver belt inlaid with light blue sapphires, and another layer was covered. The gauze cloak embroidered with mountains, rivers and rivers floats lightly. His handsome appearance is no different from that of the royal family. Today's Bai Yutang does not carry a knife, but only a folding fan. In this way, he looks more like an elegant man than a man from the rivers and lakes. Brother son.

When the waiter in the teahouse saw Bai Yutang, his eyes stared straight. Bai Yutang ignored him and went to the teahouse by himself. Soon the waiter was woken up by a chestnut from the shopkeeper, and reprimanded him: "Don't go pour the tea. !"

Xiao Er held a plate of tea and hurriedly agreed.

The teahouse was very clean, only the mother of the qin could hear the melodious sound of the qin, she played the famous songs of the high mountains and flowing water, the snow in the spring, and the wild geese on the flat sand.

Bai Yutang doesn't talk about both civil and military skills, but he knows a thing or two about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he thought that the sound of the piano can only be listened to and played.

Sure enough, the person who sang loudly seemed to be a member of a noble family, and Qinniang also looked at him with Youyou eyes, and the two seemed to have some affection that was unknown to outsiders.Qin Niang suddenly glanced to the side, and saw Bai Yutang leaning against the window, and saw that Bai Yutang's lazy eyes and every move had the air of a nobleman, and she immediately stopped moving her eyes.

"This young master..." I don't know where the courage came from, Qin Niang suddenly said, "I don't know what the young master thinks of Qin Niang's piano sound?"

Suddenly, there was silence in the teahouse.

It was only now that Bai Yutang noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, and even the son of the aristocratic family was surprised.

Bai Yutang hooked the corners of his lips, propped his head and said calmly, "It's not that good."

As soon as he said this, Qin Niang's group of admirers got up and pointed at Bai Yutang and shouted for a long time: "...you!" But they were speechless.

The stunned tone was not because of Bai Yutang's appearance, which amazed everyone, and made everyone suddenly realize that it was no wonder that Qinniang just spoke directly without regard for restraint, and she might also have taken a fancy to this young master.

However, the child from the aristocratic family who was looking at Qin Niang before was very dissatisfied. He obviously hooked up with the person first, how could he be robbed by others halfway? Who did I think it was? It turned out to be a sissy? Since you say that Niang Qin is not good at piano, why don't you play one for us?"

Bai Yutang's face immediately turned dark after hearing this, and he only felt a little itchy in his hands.

Before he got angry, he heard a familiar voice from downstairs: "Master Hou can't say that, why don't you know that Brother Bai is proficient in piano art?"

Pang Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he happened to see Zhan Zhao in the red official robe, holding a sword in one hand, and easily went up to the second floor.

Seeing Zhan Zhao, Pang Yu's left eye couldn't help but twitch. Ever since Bao Zheng became the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, his father Pang Ji told him to restrain himself. He molested women from good families many times, and made troubles on the street. Later, he was accused by the officials and let Zhan Zhao take him back. Zhao absolutely did not dare to do more than the slightest move beyond the rules.

"Master Zhan, why do you come to the teahouse when you have time..." Pang Yu thought about it for a few times, wondering if what he did recently turned out to be a secret, did he molested a woman in Quanshui Lane, or blackmailed a foreign merchant for 100 taels of silver? , was accused of going to Bao Zheng, and asked Zhan Zhao to arrest him?It shouldn't be.

Seeing Pang Yu's eyes rolling back and forth, Zhan Zhao knew what he was thinking, smiled and said, "Naturally Zhan is not as leisurely as Young Master, I need to find Brother Bai for something."

Bai Yutang, who was originally angry, was interrupted by Zhan Zhao, so he naturally had no intention of pursuing it, but now he heard his name, raised his head with a frown, and saw Zhan Zhao's eyes looking towards him.

It has long been heard that Nan Xia Zhan Zhao is a great chivalrous man, humble and polite, with a gentle and elegant appearance, and people can't help but praise him for being a handsome young man.However, unlike Bai Yutang's stunning appearance, Zhan Zhao gives people a warm feeling like a spring breeze, and the more you look at it, the more flavorful it is. Generally speaking, one word, handsome!

Bai Yutang didn't speak, but three words appeared in his eyes: What's the matter?

Zhan Zhao cupped his fists and bowed: "Brother Bai, I have something to ask you."

After a while, Bai Yutang opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhan Zhao, who thought things wouldn't go so smoothly, smiled when he heard this brief question, "I don't know where Brother Bai was yesterday?"

Bai Yutang originally wanted to ask when he would shut you up, but then he turned around and thought, as Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, he wouldn't ask such a boring question unless something happened.

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened last night? What does it have to do with me?"

Zhan Zhao gave a compliment in his heart, and he probably already knew why he came, so he explained: "Yesterday, the servant of the household department, Zhou Shilang, died at home. I heard from the servant on duty that a man in white ran away from Zhou Shilang's house. Come out, the weapon the man used was a long knife."

Bai Yutang was silent for a moment and said, "It's not me."

Of course, Zhan Zhao couldn't just rely on these few sentences to determine that Bai Yutang was the murderer, but the servant also said that a few days ago, Zhou Shilang lost a white jade cup, and Chen Zihao told him that the person who met Bai Yutang yesterday was the thief Li null.

Although we met yesterday, Zhan Zhao thought that Bai Yutang would not do such a thing, but the coincidence of the incident meant that Bai Yutang must have clues to the case, so Lord Bao immediately asked Zhan Zhao to ask Bai Yutang to go to Kaifeng Mansion to find out details.

After Zhan Zhao explained it like this, Bai Yutang finally relaxed his frowning brows, but he didn't agree, and took a sip of Baiyinjun camellia tea: "Sorry, I have something else to do."

They dawdled for a long time, knowing that this time Zhan Zhao was not looking for him, but for the man in white. Pang Yu, who was watching the fun, was impatient and said with a sneer, "Master Zhan, why did you see you so procrastinating today?" La, with your kung fu, you are afraid that this sissy will fail, why don't you just press him back?"

Speaking of this, Zhan Zhao's brows twitched fiercely, thinking that this is your own death, and you managed to get past it with great difficulty before, but now you jump out and want to be beaten, no wonder I am.

Sure enough, before Pang Yu's words fell to the ground, he heard a loud slap, which directly slapped Pang Yu dizzily, and he didn't know where he was.

Pang Yu's servant quickly supported him, and yelled viciously to the surroundings: "Who is it! Dare to beat An Lehou, who was personally appointed by the emperor, and stand up for me if you have the ability!"

Zhan Zhao helplessly wanted to support his forehead and shake his head, but he couldn't see it with this little ability, he dared to be so presumptuous, the person who beat you little lord is right in front of him.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Bai Yutang's mouth, and he looked at Zhan Zhao again in a blink of an eye.

Zhan Zhao stood next to Bai Yutang with his sword in his arms, raised his eyebrows at him and said with a smile, "Good fight."

Bai Yutang was surprised by Zhan Zhao's actions: "?"

Zhan Zhao snickered and said, "At Anle, I wanted to beat him up a long time ago, but Mr. Bao never let me do it."

These few sentences directly overturned Bai Yutang's impression of Nan Xia Zhan Zhao. He thought that at least Zhan Zhao was under Bao Qingtian's sect, and he was not impartial and upright.

But to his appetite!

Bai Yutang suddenly liked Zhan Zhao a lot.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao quickly asked, "Brother Bai, what's the important thing at the teahouse? Zhan works in Kaifeng Mansion, so he's familiar with the business anyway. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Bai Yutang pondered for a long time, and felt that what he said made sense, so he let go of the last grievance in his heart and asked, "Do you know a jade craftsman named Xue?"

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and said, "The surname is Xue...? I seem to have a little impression, but her surname is not Xue."
