Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Lord Bao came to the gate of the city and roared, breaking the stalemate and giving Fang Ba a step down, lest the old man anger Zhao Pu and really become a dead soul under the knife.

On the tower, Xiao Bao Fu tugged at Bao Yan's sleeve, "Master, Master, Master is so domineering!"

Bao Yan also nodded, and then touched his face subconsciously - black is good!He is so domineering, if his father's face is as white as his, no one will be afraid of him.

Bao Yan was extremely depressed, and suddenly clenched his fists and said in dissatisfaction, "I'm so mad!"

The fourth son and Xiao Liang were holding hands and preparing to go downstairs, when they heard Bao Yan's words, they looked back at him.

"I hate it!" Bao Yan kicked the city wall hard, "Why can't I get a tan!"

……

Bai Yutang and the others who were walking in front heard it, and looked back with complicated expressions...

At this time, Bao Yan was holding his feet and jumping, "It hurts! It hurts!"

Bawang smiled and shook his head, Bao Zheng, this son, was born so interesting!

Although Bao Yan hadn't seen Bao Zheng for a long time, he knew he had serious business to do at the moment, so he didn't interrupt, followed Bai Yutang and the others, and followed Bao Zheng into the palace.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, it was not a gathering of civil and military officials in the court, even Zhao Zhen was not there, so a little father-in-law came out to ask, and when he heard that Master Bao was back, he said he would go in and report to the emperor.After a while, Eunuch Chen ran out and said hard work to Bao Zheng, saying that the emperor will not be idle, and we will talk about it later.

Bao Zheng knew it well—the emperor is not in a good mood.

Gongsun led the fourth son and walked beside Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu suddenly grabbed him and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Gongsun was puzzled, "What to eat?"

"We've been driving for a few days, and we haven't eaten all day today. Are you hungry? I'll get it for you from the imperial dining room."

Gongsun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You still have the mind to eat... Besides, how does Jin Gong Nian Sheng eat?"

Zhao Pu laughed, "Wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for?" Gongsun was puzzled.

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows at him, "Believe it or not, Zhao Zhen made these people wait for at least two hours!"

Gongsun opened his eyes wide, "Isn't it... an urgent matter..."

"Heh." Zhao Pu smiled faintly, "Just wait and see."

Sure enough, it turned out that no one knew Zhao Zhen better than Zhao Pu... Everyone waited for more than two hours in the court hall, from dawn to dark.

Zhao Pu had the foresight, the chef of the imperial dining room prepared a banquet for the Ninth Princes, Zhao Pu brought Gongsun, shadow guards, Xiaosi, Xiao Liang and other people who arrived one after another to sacrifice to the Wu Zang Temple first.

Bai Yutang waited less than a cup of tea and left with Yinhou and Tianzun who shouted "boring" and "hungry".

Walking out of the palace, they met Zhan Zhao and Pang Yu who came from Dali Temple, bringing Fang Jun's body with them.

Seeing Bai Yutang with Tianzun and Yinhou, Zhan Zhao guessed that Zhao Zhen wanted them to wait and he had to stay with Master Bao, so he patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder and asked him to help take care of Yinhou.

Before Bai Yutang left, Zhan Zhao leaned into his ear and whispered, "It's rare to be so free, why not make good use of it."

Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao smiling into two crescent-moon eyes, and probably guessed that... Zhan Zhao asked him to check out Yaoji Paper Shop after dinner while Tianzun and Yinhou were free. Bai Yutang readily agreed, and took Tianzun Yinhou first went to Taibaiju for dinner.

After ordering food, Bai Yutang went out after Tianzun and Yinhou ate... Where?He didn't go anywhere, so he went back and gave Zhan Zhao something to eat, so that the cat wouldn't spoil his belly.

It's just that when Bai Yutang arrived, he saw Eunuch Chen bringing a food box to Zhan Zhao. It can be seen that Zhao Zhen didn't generalize when he was angry. Zhan Zhao was a disaster for Chi Yu, so he treated them differently.

Bai Yutang reached out and took the food box from Eunuch Chen's hand, replaced it with his own and put it in Jin Zhao's hand, and stuffed the little food given by the emperor to Xiao Wu who came to join in the fun.After Bai Yutang finished his work, he turned around and walked away swaggeringly, making Eunuch Chen wipe off his sweat.Zhan Zhao glanced at the roast duck made by the imperial dining room that Xiao Wu was eating, and then at the fried lobster with lychees, iced oysters, and crab roe stuffed with fresh orange that Bai Yutang bought for him... raised his eyebrows—as expected, Bai Yutang knew best his preferences.

Back at Taibai Residence, Bai Yutang held his wine glass, thinking while drinking.

"What are you thinking about?" Tianzun held an oyster in his hand, and scolded Bai Yutang while eating, "You eat well anyway, and you drink all day, I don't know how you grew up."

Bai Yutang suddenly stared at Tianzun's hair, then he stretched out his hand and gently grabbed some, and looked carefully at Tianzun, frowning, looking at Tianzun puzzled.

"Why?" Tianzun glanced at him.

"Changed color?" Bai Yutang looked at the sun outside, it didn't look like an illusion, he remembered that Tianzun's hair was white before, but it suddenly turned silver after a few days.

Tianzun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, leaned over and asked, "Does it look good? It's better than Bai!"

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun speechlessly, "I don't care if it's good or not...does it matter? Let Gongsun take a look?"

"Hehe." Yin Hou laughed dryly, and said to Bai Yutang, "You heard that he was pissed because it was too white to look good, so Gongsun prescribed some orchid grass for him to wash for a few days, and it turned silver."

Bai Yutang felt relieved now, not to mention, silver is indeed more beautiful than white, and it looks younger.

"Haven't you two heard the legend of the ghost general?" Bai Yutang asked Yin Hou while wiping the mouth of the hot Tianzun with a handkerchief.

Yin Hou rubbed his chin, "Ghost general... I haven't heard of ghost general, but I have heard of ghost flag."

"Ghost flag?" Bai Yutang felt that it seemed irrelevant.

"The ghost flag is a little bit like the ghost general you mentioned." After Tianzun wiped his mouth, he ordered two portions of mochi with soybean flour and sesame stuffing from the waiter, chatting with Bai Yutang.

"Where does it look like?" Bai Yutang raised some interest.

"The ghost flag is the ghost order flag. What I heard is that there was a general in the previous dynasty who was besieged by rebel soldiers in a valley, and his entire army was about to be annihilated." Yin Hou told Bai Yutang a story with great interest, " The general left behind his troops and fled alone."

The corner of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched, "It's so useless?"

Yin Hou raised his eyebrows, "That's not the point, the useless general ran away in a panic, stumbled and fell into a ravine...but found a large amount of bones in the ravine, including horse bones and human bones...he got up Looking around, the entire long ravine, with no end in sight, is covered with bones!"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Is that a sacrificial pit?"

"This place is an ancient battlefield." Yin Hou said, "In the past, there was an invincible general who was plotted against by his own country's powerful ministers. He was ambushed and trapped here. The general killed himself with [-] soldiers and horses. died in the ditch."

The corner of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched, "10 people, are they stupid...it's better to shoot them out than to kill themselves."

"Hey!" Yin Hou waved his hand lightly, "There is a big difference here!"

"What's the difference?"

Yinhou snatched Tianzun a mochi to eat, and motioned for him to go on, rest for a while.

Tianzun continued, "If you commit suicide in the valley with resentment, your soul will not be released!"

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, apparently not believing it.

"It's all said to be a legend." Tianzun continued, "The general has a certain research on witchcraft. He asked every soldier to cut his finger and drop a drop of blood in the jar. After collecting the blood of all the soldiers, the His flag was soaked in blood, and then he sealed the mouth of the altar, affixed a soul-locking curse written in his own blood, and buried it deep in the ground. Then everyone committed suicide and let the blood soak the valley... In this way, the [-] troops The resentful souls cannot ascend to heaven, cannot be reincarnated, and cannot be saved, and become lonely ghosts, wandering around in the valley.”

Bai Yutang frowned, "What is his purpose for doing this?"

"Because I'm not reconciled!" Yin Hou breathed on his teacup, and said slowly, "He didn't let go of his soldiers and horses even after he died. As long as someone opens this jar one day, his resentful spirit will attach to that person's body. At the same time, holding that command flag, you can wake up those one hundred thousand ghost soldiers! At that time, those one hundred thousand skeleton soldiers will be the most powerful soldiers and horses, because they are not afraid of swords and guns!"

"Then what happened afterwards? The escaped general found the jar containing the command flag?" Bai Yutang asked.

Tianzun nodded, "He originally wanted to find out if there was any property, and he also wanted to dig a hole. In case the pursuers came, he could hide under the bones and pretend to be dead."

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How did this man become a general because he was so timid?"

"I said that's not the point." Tianzun waved his hand, "The general dug and found a few pieces of gold and silver."

Bai Yutang nodded, "The bait left behind by the dead general was intended to attract people to continue digging, right?"

Yin Hou nodded, "No, that cowardly general thought he had made a fortune, and when he dug it, he found a jar with a long seal on it. He didn't know what kind of mess, he tore off the seal without even thinking about it. "

Bai Yutang smiled wryly, "So..."

"So the general's resentful soul immediately possessed his body..."

Bai Yutang could probably guess the result, "Then the bloody storm will rule the world?"

"Hehe, it's far from the so-called planning depends on people and success depends on heaven!" Tianzun shook his head, and continued in a rather advanced manner, "The possessed general is about to take out his command flag to summon his skeleton soldiers... All of a sudden, the head fell to the ground!"

"What?" Bai Yutang was surprised.

"Because the general's deputy came up with a better idea!" Tianzun said, "His deputy decided to surrender to save the lives of himself and his soldiers, so he quietly followed the general when he saw the general fleeing, while he was fully focused on staring at the jar. Without paying attention, he attacked from behind and chopped off his head."

Bai Yutang was funny, this is really a turn of events.

"The deputy general held the general's head and saw that there was still gold and silver in the jar. He thought it was the treasure he dug up, so he took it away and prepared to sacrifice it to the enemy."

"Then what's the result?" Bai Yutang asked.

"The result is that the enemy army accepted the lieutenant general's surrender, only took the head of the wimpy general and buried it on the spot, and rewarded the altar of 'gold and silver' to the lieutenant general, everyone withdrew, and the war was over." Yin Hou smiled faintly, " Leaving the possessed general alone in the valley, it is said that the headless body walked from one end of the valley to the other, and then from the other end to this end all day long, looking for his head and his ghost flag. "

Bai Yutang was stunned for a while after hearing this. The ghost general's luck was too low, so he asked curiously, "Then where did that lieutenant general and ghost flag go?"

"The deputy general returned to the barracks later, opened the jar and found that there was no treasure, only a black broken flag, and threw it away. It just so happens that he has an attendant by his side, who used to be a Taoist priest who tells fortunes and catches ghosts. He secretly picked it up." Tianzun After eating and drinking enough, he told Bai Yutang the result of the story, "It is said that he went back later and dug out the head of the wimpy general buried outside the mountain. As for what he was going to do, no one knew. No one mentions it anymore."

After hearing this, Bai Yutang felt unbelievable and suspicious, so he asked Tianzun and Yinhou, "According to what you said, the ghost flag has never been used?"

"It's because someone used it once, otherwise we wouldn't know this legend!" Yin Hou said, as if recalling the past, "When we were young, we fought with the Silver Demon King and saw skeleton soldiers."

Bai Yutang was surprised, "Are you two joking?"

"Really!" Tianzun said, "We were young at the time, and we saw skeleton soldiers riding skeleton horses in front of us from a distance, and the Silver Demon King hid us both, and told us about the ghost flag. matter."

"I still remember seeing the leading general riding a white horse and holding a ghost knife, but he has no head! He is burly."

Tianzun nodded, "I saw it too."

"Then it shouldn't be the same thing." Bai Yutang took out the picture of the ghost general before, and showed it to Tianzun and Yinhou.

Tianzun and Yinhou glanced at it, and were suddenly dumbfounded.

"It's him!" Tianzun patted Yinhou.

Yin Hou also nodded, "Yes!"

"Don't you two say you have no head!" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"It's headless, but it's wearing a ghost mask and a helmet!" Tianzun and Yin Hou pointed at the ghost head in the picture with certainty, "Just this mask, it's the same!"

"Is it also a horse's leg?" Bai Yutang asked.

"I didn't see it too clearly." Then, Tianzun asked Yinhou, "Have you seen it clearly?"

Yin Hou curled his lips, "What are you looking at, I was dragged into the carriage by Lao Yin after just one glance!"

Bai Yutang looked at the picture again, lost in some kind of thought... Could it have something to do with Fang Ba's weird behavior?And that ghost...

After dinner, Bai Yutang took Tianzun and Yinhou to Yaoji Paper Shop.

At this time, there was a carriage parked in front of the paper shop, and there were several coffins on the cart, and the guys were unloading the goods and moving them into the shop.

Bai Yutang saw an old man in black clothes with disheveled hair standing in front of the carriage, and wanted to take a look at the nearby roof... but Tianzun suddenly pulled him by the collar of his neck, grabbed him and hid behind the roof.

Yin Hou frowned, "Why is he here?"

Bai Yutang looked dissatisfiedly at Tianzun who was holding onto the back of his neck, and thought that at least he would save face for a hero!It's a good thing the cat isn't here.

But after listening to Yin Hou's words, Bai Yutang asked, "You know him?"

Yinhou and Tianzun looked at each other, and asked Bai Yutang, "Have you and Zhan Zhao ever entered this shop?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, "Tell me about how Bao Yan sneaked in to buy the coffin before. He and Zhan Zhao haven't had a chance to sneak in yet."

"Going in will definitely scare the snake!" Yin Hou pointed to the old man at the door of the shop who was resting with his head down and eyes closed, and said, "He's not dozing off, he's listening!"

"Listen?" Bai Yutang frowned.

"This old man is called Guaner, have you heard of it?" Tianzun asked.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Stork ears from the Three Elders of Ghost Court?"

Yin Hou nodded, "Ghost Court is a sect on Dongting Lake more than 60 years ago. It is located in Dongting Fairy Mountain. Ghost Court has three masters, Stork Ears, Scorpio Claws, and Qiwei. These three brothers are the best of masters. And they're all villains."

"The stork's ears are deep and powerful. With him around, it's almost impossible to sneak into the paper shop quietly."

"You two can't do it either?" Bai Yutang asked.

Tianzun shook his head, "It has nothing to do with kung fu or internal strength. Even if you walk quietly, you can't stop the wind!"

Yin Hou also nodded, "No matter how light you are, people are born with good hearing. The ears of stork ears are so good that you can hear a grain of sand flying by. If you want to spy, it's better to have a long-term plan!"

Bai Yutang was helpless, and he didn't want to act rashly. This small paper shop has such a big master in charge. It seems... there is really a great secret hidden in it.

Afterwards, Bai Yutang took Yinhou and Tianzun for a stroll around Kaifeng Mansion.After successfully preventing Tianzun from nearly getting lost twenty times, finally two hours passed, and Bai Yutang led the people to the palace.

……

But at this moment in the imperial palace, everyone was almost moldy from waiting.

When Bai Yutang, Tianzun, and Yinhou entered the imperial garden, they saw a wonderful scene...

Nearby, Zhan Zhao was sitting cross-legged on a stone table in a daze, while a few beautiful peacocks were trimming their fur on the rockery. Xiao Wu lay beside Zhan Zhao watching the peacocks, and there was a beautiful blue swallowtail butterfly on his nose.

Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang drew a grid on the stone road in the imperial garden and were playing plaid.

Lin Yehuo leaned on a swing beside him, yawning as he swayed.

On a soft couch not far away, Gongsun fell asleep under a sheepskin blanket, probably exhausted from the journey.

In the gazebo far away, Zhao Pu and the Eighth Prince were playing chess, and Xiao Bao Fu was pouring tea for them.

Master Bao was sitting on the side drinking tea, but Bao Yan was very obedient, sitting next to Bao Zheng and peeling oranges for his father.Master Bao was asking him something, it may be some family situation, it can be seen that the father is kind and filial, Master Bao's big black face is also much gentler when facing Bao Yan.

The most subtle thing is that at the other end of the Jiuqu Bridge, Pang Jidai, Pang Yu, and Eunuch Liu are sitting in the gazebo to the west.Fang Ba and Fang Wen were sitting in the gazebo to the east.

Ouyang Shaozheng was lying on the roof and taking a nap, Zou Liang was sitting on a rockery, feeding the carp in the lotus pond with steamed bread crumbs, with two balls of cotton stuffed in his ears, Long Qiaoguang sitting next to him didn't know what he was talking about What, I saw that the mouth kept moving.

Of course, the most miserable ones were the shadow guards. All the shadow guards took turns guarding the two corpses in the ice coffin in the Golden Palace.

Ziying yawned and felt sleepy.

Zhe Ying asked Doro, who was also yawning, "Where are the Nangong people?"

Duo Luo spread his hands, "I can't find it anywhere, I guess I'm busy looking for the person who poisoned Concubine Pang."

Finally, at the climax of the moon, Eunuch Chen ran to say, "The emperor has time to spare."

Everyone entered the Golden Palace in embarrassment.

Above the Golden Palace, Zhao Zhen was standing between two ice coffins, looking left and then again.

Master Bao took Pang Ji and Fang Ba to see Zhao Zhen wanted to salute, Zhao Zhen waved his hand lightly, "Forget it, you don't take me seriously anyway."

The corner of Bao Zheng's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to stare at Pang Ji and Fang Ba.

Pang Ji felt wronged, and looked at Bao Zheng—why are you staring at me?

Bao Zheng had a look of disdain on his dark face—it's just your family that has so many things to do!

Pang Ji had no choice but to stare at Pang Yu - he was not allowed to go to Taibaiju in the future!No eating, no drinking!

Pang Yu had an innocent face, anyway, he was unlucky, and fortunately his sister was fine, otherwise he would have committed a serious crime.

Zhao Zhen nodded to Gongsun, "Please trouble me for an autopsy."

"I... have a request!"

At this time, Fang Ba took a step forward, speaking in a hurry.

Zhao Zhen looked at him, what he meant - say it.

"An autopsy is fine, but it can't destroy my son's body... not at all!" Fang Ba said with a serious face, "Not even silver needles for acupuncture!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other silently. If Fang Ba knew that he had already stabbed Fang Jun, would the old man die of anger?

Gongsun frowned.

Pang Ji was dissatisfied, "Jun Wang, don't you force others? Acupuncture won't leave scars, and it doesn't count as touching your son's body. How can you do an autopsy if you don't even allow it? Your son was given acupuncture when he was alive. Why can't it be dead?"

"Anyway, we can't destroy the corpse!" Fang Ba's stubborn tone came up again.

Everyone looked back at Gongsun, what does that mean—is there a way?

Gongsun was really embarrassed, he touched his chin lightly, and looked at the two corpses.

Earlier, Zhan Zhao had secretly shown the discolored silver needle to Gongsun, and Gongsun knew that Fang Jun was poisoned, how could he prove it?

Thinking of this, Gongsun suddenly stretched his eyebrows, and Fang Ba nodded, "Can you comb your hair for the two young masters?"

Everyone wondered - combing hair?

"Comb my brother's hair?" Fang Wen looked at Gongsun, "Can combing hair find out the cause of death?"

Gongsun took out some medicine from the small medicine box carried by the fourth son, and asked someone to bring some white porcelain and two wooden combs.

He asked Fang Wen to comb Fang Jun and Fang Wu's hair respectively, and took out one hair that fell down from the comb.

"The hair falls naturally, and it has already fallen before death, so it is not regarded as destroying the body." Gongsun asked Fang Ba.

Fang Ba thought for a while and nodded.

Gongsun put two hairs in the bowl, asked the fourth son for another hair, and took one of his own, and put it in the other two bowls.

He first filled the four bowls with clean water, and then, Gongsun picked up a bottle of liquid medicine, and put two drops into the bowls containing the hair of himself and the fourth son, the color of the water in the bowls did not change.Then, he poured two drops of potion into the bowls with Fang Jun and Fang Wu's hair... After a while, the two bowls of water turned a strange green color.

Everyone looked at Fang Ba - the poisoning was obvious.

Fang Ba frowned, "This... this doesn't prove..."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched and they looked at him—old man, are you guilty?

"Don't worry, I can prove it to you!" Gongsun said, asking Eunuch Chen to help catch two crickets.

Eunuch Chen went out for a while, and found two crickets.

Gongsun looked at it, and sure enough, according to his request, one big and one small.I saw the big cricket screaming loudly and with great strength, and the little cricket was chased by it and ran around the jar.

Gongsun used a bamboo stick to dip a drop of green water soaked in Fang Jun's hair, and dripped it on the back of the big cricket.

After a while, I saw the big guy who bullied the little cricket so desperately, suddenly seemed to have no strength... After a while, the big cricket died.

Everyone looked at Fang Ba again—isn't it obvious? !

Fang Ba opened his mouth, looked at the two corpses in the coffin, "This...can't be ruled out that it was Pang Yu's poison!"

Pang Ji's beard flew up, "I said, the king of the county, are you being unreasonable?! When Fang Wu was fighting, my son was in the prison of Dali Temple. Who gave him the same poison?"

"This poison was not poisoned by Pang Yu at all." Gongsun said, "This is a chronic poison, and the poisoned person needs to meet two conditions to die from the poison."

Everyone listened to Gongsun.

"First, take poison for at least three consecutive days." Gongsun pointed to the dead cricket, "This cricket is too small, so a drop of poison has obvious effects on it, but not on humans! The elixir of poison, if it turns blue, green and yellow, it must be a chronic poison. If it turns black, red and brown, it is highly poisonous, and you will be killed on the spot."

"What about the second?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"The second is to exercise!" Gongsun said, "Or strenuous exercise, which will cause the poison in the blood to attack quickly."

Everyone knows it, no wonder!Both Fang Jun and Fang Wu died of poison suddenly during the battle.

"That is to say, Pang Yu is not the murderer at all." Zhan Zhao looked at Fang Ba, and suddenly asked, "Old man, I don't know that your son's corpse cannot be given an injection, but you have two sons who are still alive, will you allow the injection?"

Fang Ba was taken aback, and frowned, "Zhan Zhao, what do you mean?"

"Brother Zhan thinks the same as I do." Gongsun took out a silver needle, walked to Caicai's side, gently stuck it into the middle of his nose, and then pulled out the needle... The silver needle turned yellow-green.Prick Fang Wen in the same way, and the silver needle turns green.

Gongsun nodded, "My lord, it's fortunate that your two sons didn't go to the battlefield just now, otherwise you might be dead by now."

Fang Ba's face turned pale, and suddenly Gongsun stabbed him again, but his color didn't change.

"It seems that someone only wants the lives of the four young masters, not the prince." Gongsun packed up his things, and his mission was completed.
