White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

The next day, Zhan Zhao suddenly heard that Mr. Bao wanted him to go to the study. Zhan Zhao, who was already planning to patrol the streets, asked the servants to go first, and he followed behind.

After entering the room, Zhan Zhao saw Master Bao sitting at the desk flipping through a case file.

Zhan Zhao is very familiar with this posture, it is the usual action of Lord Bao when another case arises, but Zhan Zhao has not heard that there has been a big case in Kaifeng Mansion recently, so Zhan Zhao walked up with a puzzled expression.

Bao Zheng heard his voice coming up, looked up at him and said, "The guard Zhan is here."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but asked, "Master Bao, but what kind of murder happened recently?"

Bao Zheng put down the case file, sighed and nodded: "There is indeed a case, the Holy Majesty pays more attention to it, and he called me into the palace to discuss this matter last night."

Zhan Zhao sounded a little strange. Judging from Master Bao's tone, it seems that this case did not happen in Kaifeng Mansion: "Isn't it a case of Kaifeng Mansion?"

Bao Zheng handed over the case file to Zhan Zhao and asked him to read it carefully.

Then he said from the sidelines: "Although it didn't happen near the Kaifeng Mansion at this time, it was rather strange and it happened recently. The Holy Majesty was afraid that this matter would spread bad rumors to the Queen Mother, so he ordered me to find out the truth of the case. "

Zhan Zhao opened the case file, and saw the words Songjiang Mansion at first sight, and then saw the content of Tengu cannibalism, etc., and couldn't help being surprised: "Songjiang Mansion has such a thing happen?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "Although this government does not believe in ghosts and gods, there are many doubts about the case of the Tengu in Songjiang Prefecture, and it is also known as descending to the world to eliminate evil, so the Holy One has to worry."

Zhan Zhao took a closer look. Although the Tengu cannibal case sounds scary, so far there hasn't been a single dead person in the strict sense. Seeing this, Zhan Zhao felt relieved.And thinking that the Holy Majesty ordered Mr. Bao to solve the case quickly, the reason why Bao Zheng called him to the study is also very simple, that is to send him to Songjiang Mansion to investigate the case.

Immediately, Zhan Zhao felt a little joy in his heart, but he didn't know how this feeling arose, but he thought that he might see Bai Yutang soon, and maybe it could surprise him.

Zhan Zhao asked: "Master Bao asked me to investigate the case? When are we leaving?"

Looking at his appearance, Bao Zheng knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Let's go now."

After Zhan Zhao heard this, he wished he was ready to pack his luggage now, but Bao Zheng stopped him again: "Before you leave, you should also go see Mr. Gongsun."

Zhan Zhao didn't know what Lord Bao meant, but he still obeyed him obediently.

Come to the Gongsunce courtyard, which is very close to the Shantang. There are many shelves in the courtyard where medicinal materials are dried, and the joy of children can be heard behind.

After hearing Zhan Zhao's reason for coming, Gongsun Ce understood, "So there was such a big case in Songjiang Mansion."

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Gongsun Ce said again, "Master Bao probably meant that I would hand over another case to you."

Zhan Zhao is a little confused, is Songjiang Mansion so uneasy recently?I heard Gongsun Ce say: "A few days ago, a classmate in Songjiang Mansion sent a letter asking for help, asking me to ask Mr. Bao about the murder of a locksmith in Songjiang Mansion."

"It's just that you've been busy for the past few days. Mr. Bao said that he would hand over this case to you after the Queen Mother's birthday. I didn't expect that the time was too early."

Zhan Zhao seemed to feel that he was being seen through. Thinking of his absent-minded appearance for the past few days, he said in embarrassment: "I have caused trouble for Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun. It is rare for you two to think about Zhan Zhao."

Gongsun Ce smiled kindly, took out an envelope from the room and handed it to Zhan Zhao: "There are my handwriting and seal inside, my classmate is the county magistrate of a county near Songjiang Prefecture, you come to my door and hand over my letter to Zhan Zhao." He is."

Zhan Zhao put the case file and Mr. Gongsun's personal letter into the bag, hung the bag on the black horse, bowed to Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Bao in the distance, then gently patted the horse's tail, and drove the horse away from Bian Beijing.

What Zhan Zhao didn't know was that the people on Trapped Sky Island had gone crazy.

In particular, Min Xiuxiu learned from Han Zhang and Jiang Ping that they did not bring Bai Yutang back, and there was no news of Bai Yutang returning to the island.

"Why didn't you tell me the news so late?" Although Min Xiuxiu was as delicate as his name, he became irritable like a tigress. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have tamed a character like Lu Fang.

On weekdays, Bai Yutang is what Min Xiuxiu loves the most. Hearing that Han Zhang and Jiang Ping didn't bring Bai Yutang back, recalling the violent storm last night, he couldn't help but feel distressed and blamed: "That means you two brothers You left your brother there and came back alone?!"

Not to mention Min Xiuxiu, Han Zhang and Jiang Ping didn't see Bai Yutang's shadow after searching all night. They were so angry that their intestines were green, and now they sat down on the chair in the lobby and blamed themselves: "I'm thinking about my fifth brother's martial arts. Gao, I usually travel back and forth between Songjiang Mansion and Xingkong Island without relying on boats, I never expected..."

In the end, Jiang Ping slapped himself in front of everyone, and said with red eyes: "It's my fault. At that time, I persuaded my second brother to come back first. If you want to blame, blame me!"

Min Xiuxiu looked at their negative appearances, and Lu Fang was still in bed, and the burden of the entire empty island was on her shoulders. She took a deep breath and shouted: "What do you mean now? What are you waiting for here like idiots? Do you want to wait for the news of Fifth Brother's death?!"

"Since the storm is over now, don't move your ass for me, send me a boat out to find it!"

"Send all the boats out! Search all the islands within a radius of fifty miles! If you can't find you, you don't have to come back!"

Xu Qing looked at Han Zhang and Jiang Ping stupidly and wiped their eyes, not daring to contradict the power of the sister-in-law now, and went out with red eyes, and then looked at Min Xiuxiu who was sitting in the upper seat a little tired after the shouting, and couldn't bear it. Can't stop shouting: "Sister-in-law..."

Seeing that it was Xu Qing, Min Xiuxiu sighed and said, "Third brother, you should go too. I believe that the fifth brother has strong internal strength and will definitely not die here. Senior Yin also said that the fifth brother is destined to be famous all over the world." If he is a character, he must be alive. It’s just that he is floating in the sea without a boat, and I’m afraid he still doesn’t know how to get back.”

Min Soo-soo's words were half comforting himself, and half the truth.

But Xu Qing still comforted her: "Sister-in-law, you took care of elder brother yesterday and have not slept for a whole day. Everything on the island is now in your hands, so don't be too tired."

Although he was persuading himself to rest, for his own good, Min Soo-soo waved his hand wearily and let Xu Qing go out.

Seeing that Min Xiuxiu didn't listen, Xu Qing could only turn around and go out.I can only pray silently in my heart, fifth brother, you may be safe.

Because Zhan Zhao's speed was not as good as Bai Yutang's Yuzhao Yeshi, it took him two days to rush to Songjiang Mansion.

As soon as he entered the gate of Songjiang Mansion, he received the same treatment as when he and Bai Yutang first came back. At first, the guards at the city gate advised him not to enter Songjiang Mansion, saying that Songjiang Mansion is now under martial law, and people inside can only enter but not leave.

Then Zhan Zhao showed his badge, and the guards at the city gate realized that what they had stopped was a high official from Kaifeng Mansion, and hurriedly and respectfully sent Zhan Zhao to Songjiang Mansion, and even the prefect's county government office. .

As soon as he heard that Kaifeng Mansion had rushed to send people, Jiang Ziming, the magistrate of Songjiang Mansion, quickly came out from the county government office, held Zhan Zhao's hand, and said with tears in his eyes, "Finally, we've got the people from Kaifeng Mansion, Mr. Zhan Please!"

From his eyes, Zhan Zhao could see that the situation in Songjiang Mansion was really serious, and he didn't know what was going on with Bai Yutang now.

With this in mind, Zhan Zhao asked, "Have you caught the Tengu yet?"

Jiang Ziming shook his head: "I'm ashamed, the hero Bai who was trapped in the empty island reported a case a few days ago, saying that he met a Tengu once, but it's a pity that he didn't catch the Tengu himself."

Hearing Bai Yutang's voice from the magistrate, Zhan Zhao asked, "Then where is Brother Bai now? If he meets Tengu himself, there should be more clues, right?"

Jiang Ziming said: "This government also thinks so, but unfortunately, I heard that Bai Daxia disappeared yesterday."

Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Where did you hear that?"

Jiang Ziming turned his head and looked to the west: "The people in the empty island said that there was a storm yesterday, and the sea was not peaceful. They said that Bai Daxia disappeared that night, and the people in the empty island are searching everywhere. A clue."

Zhan Zhao frowned, paced back and forth between Tiangou and Bai Yutang's scales, finally stood up uncontrollably, held Ju Que and said, "Does the prefect Jiang know how to get to the empty island? Brother Bai and I We are acquainted, and I really can't bear to sit and wait for death."

Jiang Ziming looked at Zhan Zhao in bewilderment, and suddenly remembered that Zhan Zhao was also a Jianghu man before, so he and Bai Yutang must have known each other before.

"It's okay, Mr. Zhan, don't worry, the Tengu has been injured, and he won't go out to do evil today, and his life is the most important thing." Jiang Ziming thought that Zhan Zhao was also going to Zhakong Island to help find someone, so he hurriedly asked someone to help Zhan Zhao leads the way.

It's just that when Zhan Zhao got to the water's edge, he felt a little dizzy when he saw the ups and downs of the sea water. The boatman who went to Sunken Island next to him looked at it and said with a smile, "Guest officer, have you never seen the sea?"

Zhan Zhao has always lived inland. He has never seen the sea, but he has also seen lakes and rivers. He wondered that he didn’t have such a big reaction when he was on a boat before, so he has already fainted like this before he got on the boat. .

The boatman looked understanding: "Come on, take this orange peel and smell it. Some people have never seen the sea before, and their first reaction is the same. I think the guest officer can't swim?"

Zhan Zhao nodded in embarrassment, this is still his secret, if others know that Nan Xia Zhan Zhao can't swim, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud.

But this is the same as cats are afraid of water, and Yumao Zhanzhao is no exception.
