Dragon Pattern Roll Set

In the prison of Dali Temple.

Bao Yan and Bao Fu, each holding a bunch of candied haws, sat in the haystack.

This was sent by Concubine Pang just now.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu had been making a lot of noise before, so Concubine Pang sent a girl to ask what was wrong, and Pang Yu told her that Bao Yan was Lord Bao's son.So Concubine Pang asked the maid to bring him two bunches of candied haws to eat, and told Pang Yu not to bully him.

Pang Yu lay on the ground laughing so hard that he beat the straw, while Bao Yan held the candied haws to his forehead, feeling ashamed and angry!

It's Xiao Bao Fu, who is very happy to eat, it's sweet and sour, and the hawthorn is plump, so delicious!

At this time, there was an attendant of Dali Siqing outside, leading two people in.

Holding the candied haws, Pang Yu looked up, surprised and delighted, "Ah! Brother Zhan!"

It was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who came in.

Xiao Baofu was also happy, and jumped up, "Master Zhan, you are here, we thought we were going to be in prison."

Zhan Zhao looked at the candied haws in their hands, "Isn't this delicious?"

Embarrassed, Bao Yan stuffed candied haws to Bao Fu, letting him eat his fill, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhan, are you here to investigate Pang Yu's case?"

Zhan Zhao was surprised, Bao Yan didn't remember to release him, but asked about Pang Yu's case, it seems that something happened.

Pang Yu scratched his head.

Zhan Zhao smiled at him, "Young Master, don't come here without any problems."

The corner of Pang Yu's mouth twitched, and he nodded to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who was leaning against the prison door with a knife in his hand not far away to watch the situation.

Seeing that he was quite honest, Zhan Zhao probably suffered a bit.

Bao Yan looked curiously at Bai Yutang at the side, Zhan Zhao introduced him, Bao Yan nodded repeatedly, and said... Oh, it turns out that Brother Zhan's friends are all dragons and phoenixes, so handsome!

Bai Yutang looked at Bao Yan with complicated eyes, at this moment he only had one doubt - why so white? !

Xiao Baofu held up two strings of candied haws and didn't know which one to look at. Hey, people from the rivers and lakes are so handsome!

At this moment, a voice came from the cell behind him, "Guard Zhan, you've worked hard all the way."

Zhan Zhao looked back and knew that Concubine Pang was worried about Pang Yu's case, so he said, "Concubine Pang, take care of your health, don't worry too much."

Concubine Pang breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhan Zhao tilted his head towards Bao Yan, which means - it's time to come out.

Bao Yan looked back at Pang Yu.

Pang Yu also looked at him, a little helpless... It's not that the two get along well, but Pang Yu is a person who likes to be lively, and he is lonely in the cell alone, and it is impossible for his friends to come to see him. The son of a famous family who used to be called brother and brother is now afraid to avoid him when he sees him.It's quite interesting to have Bao Yan finally come here, he can chat with him for a while, but now he's leaving again.

Seeing that Pang Yu seemed a bit disappointed, Bao Yan asked Zhan Zhao, "I'll stay for a couple of days, my father hasn't come back anyway."

Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, and Pang Yu was also surprised.

The corner of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched slightly.

In the cell opposite, Concubine Pang smiled slightly, she was indeed Bao Zheng's son, willing to lend a helping hand in times of distress.

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Do me a favor first, and come back after you're done. It only takes half a day."

Bao Yan wondered, "What help?"

"Of course I helped investigate the case." Zhan Zhao lowered his voice, and roughly told Bao Yan what happened in the barracks last night.

Bao Yan touched his chin after hearing this, "Oh, that's it! I understand, Brother Zhan, you want me to go to the paper shop to find out the truth for you?"

"Yes, you can't scare the snake away."

"This is easy!" Bao Yan straightened his clothes, "Let's go now?"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bao Yan ran to get the salute from the haystack, and seeing Pang Yu's frowning face, he said, "I'll be back in a while!"

Pang Yu blinked.

Bao Yan wandered out, "Is the food at Dali Temple not bad?" After finishing speaking, he said to the attendant, "I want drunk chicken for dinner!"

The guard looked up at the sky—this young master from Mr. Bao's family is quite good at eating.

Zhan Zhao nodded at the side, "Taibaiju's Drunken Chicken is good, and it comes with fried noodles!"

The guards were speechless - it really wasn't that the whole family didn't enter the house.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang secretly followed Bao Yan and Bao Fu to Yaoji Paper Shop.

Naturally, the paper shop was not as lively as restaurants and the like, so Bao Yan and Bao Fu pretended to order coffins and pick and choose.

There is no major problem with the appearance of this Yaoji paper shop, there is only one guy in the shop.Bao Yan asked for a nanmu coffin for a while, but then said it was not good, and it was better to ask for a coffin made of Jinsinan.

The guy had no choice but to say, "My little son, you can't kick the sky and the ground. There are ordinary nanmu coffins. Where can I find this golden nanmu for you?"

Bao Yan wanted to have a look in the yard, so he said, "What is the best coffin in your shop?"

The buddy thought about it and looked Bao Yan up and down.

This little boy looks really good, with thin skin and tender flesh, he looks like a child of a good family, I don't know how much money he has.

"Young master, how much money can you offer?" the man asked.

Bao Yan smiled, "Master, I'm helping a friend choose a coffin for his father's death. It's inconvenient for him to come out. As for the money, how much is not a problem at all."

Seeing Bao Yan's breath, the man said, "In my backyard, there is a coffin of Laohuali." Then, he stretched out a finger, "1000 taels!"

Bao Yan scolded his mother in his stomach, and said to himself that it would cost 1000 taels to buy a coffin, so forget about your death!It's just that it's not easy to show it on the face, so I said, "Old Huali? Huanghuali?"

"Yes, the tree is over 600 years old!"

"Are you fooling me?" Bao Yan still didn't quite believe it. "The 600-year-old huanghuali sells for 1000 taels? Are you selling coffins or urns?"

The corner of the buddy's mouth twitched, and he thought... there is even less!

"Then, do you want to see it?"

"Look!" Bao Yan nodded and followed the man to the backyard.

In the alley not far away, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - don't look at Bao Yan usually looking like a nerd, in fact he is quite clever, but... Occasionally he is clever and occasionally stunned.

The backyard was not inside Yao's mansion, and there was a courtyard wall, and the coffins were parked in the middle of the courtyard.

The man pointed to the coffin that was placed on the stone table not far away and covered with an oilcloth, and said, "Pass your eyes! Top-grade huanghuali!"

Bao Yan walked over to have a look.

Regardless of his young age, because he has read a lot and has a wide range of knowledge, he knows a lot of strange things.Bao Zhanjian tapped the wooden board lightly with his hand, put his ear on it to listen to the sound, and nodded, "Well, it's dry goods, and there's not a single hole in it, but we'll have to look inside again if it's 600 years old."

The buddy was a little more relieved, no wonder they asked this young man to pick out the coffin, he was indeed an expert.

The man opened the coffin board, and Bao Yan took a look inside... Wei Wei froze.

He didn't make a move, leaned over and pretended to take a closer look at the inside, while the buddy wasn't paying attention, he sniffed it quietly... and then frowned.

Looked up.

Bao Yan asked, "Is 1000 taels enough?"

"Enough!" The man nodded vigorously.

Bao Yan raised his eyebrows, "I want it today."

"Are you going to pay me now?" asked the man.

Bao Yan looked him up and down, "Is this money paid to you, or to the shopkeeper?"

"Hey, just give it to me!" The clerk rubbed his hands, "Our paper shop is opened by Yao's next door, and Yao Yuanwai is in charge of me."

Bao Yan nodded and raised an eyebrow at Bao Fu.

Bao Fu took out a silver note of 500 taels and gave it to the clerk.

"I'll pay you half first, and you take a few people to send the coffin to Jiang's Hutong in the south of the city, the largest Xu Mansion inside." Bao Yan said slowly, "When you get there, someone will naturally give you the other half, and will give it to you tips."

"Okay!" The man nodded again and again, "Send it now?"

"Of course I want it now! Hurry up and find someone!" Bao Yan pretended to be anxious.

The man hurried to find someone to move the coffin.

Bao Yan and Bao Fu looked at each other again.

Bao Yan suddenly covered his stomach, "Oh... hiss."

"What's the matter with you, young master?" Bao Fu quickly helped him up.

"Oh, my stomach hurts! Is the fruit I ate just now unclean!" Bao Yan pretended to have an unbearable stomachache.

"Yo, young master, are you okay?" The man hurried over.

"It's okay, it's okay, do you have a hut here? I want to pay my respects!" Bao Yan turned around.

The man is going to lead him to the latrine.

"Hey!" Bao Fu hurriedly stopped him, "My young master is precious, don't lead us to the servant's hut!"

"Uh, this..."

"Oh, I can't help it, it hurts!" Bao Yan stomped his feet.

"Then, let's go to the main house. Is there any used one there?" The man asked his servants to continue carrying the coffin, and he took Bao Yan through the doorway in the courtyard wall to the backyard of the main house.

Thus, Bao Yan and Bao Fu successfully sneaked into Yao's compound.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who were squatting on the wall not far away and looking in, nodded -- they were very clever.

"You never think Yao's house is too quiet?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded, "To be exact, it's lifeless."

……

As soon as he entered the yard, Bao Yan pretended to have a stomachache and couldn't walk too fast.

The buddy led him to the more remote west side.

Bao Yan's eyes were not idle all the way, looking around.

It was found that the courtyard was lifeless, and the trees, flowers and plants had obviously not been watered for a long time, and they were almost dead.

The man took Bao Yan to a hut in the backyard.

Bao Yan went in and had a look...it was brand new, no one had ever used it, it was so strange!

After Bao Yan came out, he asked the clerk, "You guys in Yao Mansion are thin enough? Why is there no one?"

The man laughed dryly, "My master is away, and the yard is basically empty, only a few friends live there. Those friends don't see people very much during the day, so they just come to sleep at night, and we don't need us to cook."

"Hey, hey!" Bao Yan suddenly put on a straight face, "Are you a serious shop?"

"Yes, yes!" The man nodded vigorously.

"Your coffin is a clean thing, right?" Bao Yan wondered, "It sounds like your boss' friend doesn't look like a serious person!"

"Serious! They are all lumber merchants! They collect good lumber everywhere on weekdays, and the coffins here are all supplied by them!" The man said, "Master, don't worry!"

Bao Yan nodded.

The two of them didn't ask any more questions, they were afraid that if they asked again, they would startle the snake, so they left the paper shop and went to find Zhan Zhao and the others.

The man carried the coffin and left.

Bao Yan found Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang waiting in the alley around the corner.

"How is it?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"This shop is not reliable!" Bao Yan asked Bai Yutang, "Fifth Master, I have already paid the deposit for the 500 taels you gave me, what should I do?"

"How much is the coffin?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"1000 taels!"

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth and looked at Bai Yutang seriously, "I have to take it back! How many crabs can I buy!"

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's okay, they will move to the Xu Mansion first, so someone will give them money, and it will be easier for them to keep the coffin in the future. The money will always be brought back, so just keep it."

"Speaking of that coffin!" Bao Yan said suddenly, "That coffin is not a new one, it's a used one!"

"Really?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

Bao Yan nodded, "Huanghuali wood coffins are very precious. Rosewood has a characteristic, that is, it has a fragrance of its own, and the corpse does not smell bad. But the original fragrance of rosewood is a grassy smell, not particularly fragrant. But If the corpse is released and buried deep underground for many years, the coffin board will have a smell of sandalwood. I smelled it just now, and the coffin has a fragrance! So it must be dug out of the ground and sold again!"

Zhan Zhao frowned, "This is a shop that digs up graves and sells coffins of the dead..."

"Then it's just right to keep that coffin!" Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao, "When the time comes, the evidence is convincing, copy his shop!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, just at this moment, a person fell on the wall.

"Here and there, it's really hard to find."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked up, it was Qing Ying.

Qingying flirted with the two of them, "Ouyang and Zou Liang will arrive a few miles away. I saw Ziying following with Xintinghou on his back. I guess the prince will arrive soon."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raised their eyebrows.

"Speaking of which, you two are really free, you don't care if the door is marked like that!" Qing Ying asked with her head tilted.

"Who's fighting with whom?" Zhan Zhao was busy checking the coffin shop with Bai Yutang, not paying attention to the barracks outside.

"Mrs. Huyan and Fang Ba!" Qingying said, "I see that the Waidu two families have opened up their posture and even lifted the drum!"

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "Is this going to fight Sanbaihe at the gate of the city?"

Qingying spread her hands, "That's enough, Mrs. Huyan seems to be at a disadvantage! After all, they are all female generals."

"Go and watch the excitement... No, go help!" Zhan Zhao ran away, followed by Bai Yutang.

Bao Yan and Bao Fu looked at each other - fighting?The two of them were not in a hurry to go back to Dali Temple and go to prison, so they hurried to watch the excitement.

Qingying was still wondering, who is this scholar?The skin is so fair and beautiful baby!

Zhan Zhao rushed to the gate of the city to have a look, isn't it lively!

I saw that nearby upstairs and roofs, where people could stand anyway, were full of people standing around the city gate and pinching each other.

The people in Kaifeng City knew about the Pang family and the Fang family, they knew that a fight was going to happen, and they all came to watch.

Well, there are mixed opinions among the public.

On the surface, it seemed that the young master Pang Yu had drunk and killed the old general's son.But Fang Jun is not without fame... Anyone who has seen Pang Yu feels that he is not capable of killing Fang Jun.The Fang family sent troops to besiege the city, and the people in the city felt that Fang Ba was too outrageous, and it would be outrageous to rely on his ancestors' meritorious service!At the same time, some people wondered whether the emperor favored his brother-in-law?But I also heard that Pang Yu has been imprisoned in Dali Temple and will be interrogated after Mr. Bao returns.The common people think this is a good way, after all, there will be a fair result with Mr. Bao.But I didn't expect the Fang family to be relentless, so the current situation is that Concubine Pang is trying to protect her brothers. In order to prevent the emperor from being charged with favoring the royal family, Concubine Pang, who is pregnant with Liujia, also went to the prison of Dali Temple.Now, most of the people in the city are more inclined to the Pang family.After all... The Fang family is getting a little aggressive, let alone wait for Mr. Bao to come back for interrogation. Could it be that Bao Qingtian can't be trusted? !

Now that swords were on the verge of breaking out, the people in Kaifeng City were not worried about harming Chi Yu. They heard that Zhao Pu was coming back soon. Who would be afraid of a war?

As soon as Zhan Zhao jumped onto the tower, he saw that the city gate was closed. On the tower, Chang Lanhu frowned with a helpless expression.

"Commander Chang." Zhan Zhao fell beside him, "What's going on?"

"Guard Zhan, it's good for you to come, stop them quickly!" Chang Lanhu spread his hands, "Just now the people on both sides quarreled on the official road for some reason, and finally started fighting, and both sides went back to report. Isn't it right?"

"Oh, I can make it in time."

Zhan Zhao was asking about Chang Lanhu's situation, when he heard someone talking behind him, and looked back...a dazzling red.

Zhan Zhao wondered - Lin Yehuo!

"Why are you here?" Bai Yutang looked at Lin Yehuo puzzled.

Lin Yehuo raised his eyebrows, "Come join in the fun!"

"Cat Cat!"

When Zhan Zhao heard the call, he didn't even think about it, he hurriedly said "Ah~", and reached out to take it... The chubby little four rushed over.

Zhan Zhao took it seriously, looked up, and there were two people standing on the city wall behind him, Tianzun and Yinhou.

Yin Hou was still holding Xiao Liang in his hand, and the fourth son was probably carried by Tianzun.

"I heard that there is a fight." Tianzun looked down from the wall, "Oh, it's so lively."

Zhan Zhao was speechless and asked the sky - so they were all here to watch the fun!

"Brother Zhan! Brother Zhan!"

It was lively enough on the top of the tower, but there was another call from below.

Zhan Zhao looked down, and saw Bao Yan and Bao Fu running over out of breath, jumping and waving at him under the tower.

Chang Lanhu was startled, "Aren't these two in the prison? Why did they escape?"

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, the person I want from the Eighth Prince." Zhan Zhao patted Chang Lanhu on the shoulder, and motioned to the soldiers on both sides to let them come up.

Bao Yan and Bao Fu ran upstairs and gasped for breath...and saw a lot of people standing in front of them!In addition to Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, there is also a man in red clothes, who is so beautiful, the other two gods, right?Marquis Yin and Tianzun, that bearing...

Bao Yan's eyes widened, and who is the doll in Zhan Zhao's hand?Has the little fairy boy next to the Bodhisattva fallen?This little fairy boy has good food, he is chubby.

At this moment, the fourth son also looked at Bao Yan curiously.

Zhan Zhao remembered that he had serious business to do, so he handed the fourth son to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang handed it to Tianzun.

Tianzun conveniently placed beside Xiao Liang.

But Xiaosi is short, he can't see what's going on under the city tower when he's placed on the ground, and he can't stand on the fence of the city wall like Xiao Liang, he can't do light work, and his center of gravity is as unstable as a watermelon.

Therefore, Bai Yutang handed him over to Bao Yan.

Bao Yan hugged and looked at the crowd blankly.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Master Bao's son, Bao Yan, and this is his book boy, Bao Fu." After speaking, Zhan Zhao pointed to Bao Yan's fourth son, and said, "This is the little one." Fourth son, Mr. Gongsun's son, Mr. Gongsun is the head of the Kaifeng Mansion, and I will introduce you when he comes."

Bao Yan kept nodding his head, his father mentioned the new master, Gongsun Ce, in a letter to him, and Bao Yan admired him terribly.

"Who do you say he is?"

Lin Yehuo picked out his ears and asked Zhan Zhao.

"Bao Yan." Zhan Zhao added, "Master Bao's son."

In Zhan Zhao's words, not only Lin Yehuo, but everyone on the tower, including Yin Hou Tianzun, Xiao Liang, dozens of generals, and a few shadow guards who arrived early, looked at Bao Yan together. He opened his mouth wide, with an incredible expression on his face!

Bao Yan felt his eyelids twitch, ashamed and angry!

"It's white..." After a long time, Yin Hou was the first to speak.

"Yes, so white!" Tianzun also nodded, "White than Yutang."

Bai Yutang supported his forehead.

"White!"

"so white!"

"Why so white?"

"Why is it white?"

"Oh, white!"

Bao Yan could hear his ears buzzing all the time—in vain...

Bao Fu saw that Bao Yan became emotional again, so he quickly covered his ears, the young master is about to explode!Sure enough, Bao Yan jumped up and yelled, "What's wrong with Bai! You can't be white! Who stipulated that Bao Zheng's son can't be white! I'm just like my mother!"

After Yan's roar, the originally noisy city tower and the thousands of people watching the excitement on both sides suddenly fell silent...

Bai Yutang shook his head.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin.

The fourth son who was held by Bao Yan blinked, and suddenly stretched out his chubby hand to wipe Bao Yan's face, looked at his fingers, and said, "Wow, there is really no powder!"

The little fourth son broke the silence with that sound, and the people from all over the city who came to see the excitement exploded in an instant...

"Wow! It's Lord Bao's son!"

"Oh, why is it so white?"

"Yeah, so white!"

"Die in vain!"

"White!"

……

Bao Yan shrank to the side of the city wall and squatted unhappy.

The fourth son stood beside him and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically to express his comfort.

At this moment, the focus of the people in the whole city is on Bao Yan, people spread word of mouth-there is Lord Bao's son on the tower!It looks very iconic, it is white!Very very white!

The two parties who were confronting each other under the city tower heard the commotion inside the city gate, and thought to themselves——what's the matter?
