Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Bai Yutang wanted to find an acquaintance to inquire about the fake jade pendant.

And Gongsun and Bao Yan are going to enter the palace with Master Bao to prepare for the reception, and Zhao Pu and the people from the barracks are going to send more people to prepare for the guards.

So, the fourth son and Xiao Liang, who were not taken with them, were left behind, and the two couldn't stay in the mansion, holding hands, followed Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to investigate the case.

Speaking of which, since Xiao Liang came, someone took care of the fourth son, and Gongsun was more at ease.

Xiao Wu followed behind with his tail wagging. The big cat was basically lazy after eating, so it yawned as it walked.

Bai Yutang walked in front, Zhan Zhao was originally walking beside him, but after taking two steps, he suddenly fell behind a little bit, Bai Yutang had no choice but to take two steps back to get to his side, so that he would not suddenly attack him Do something inexplicable, this is the street.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao's eyes were still scanning him up and down, Bai Yutang reminded him in a low voice, "Cat, please restrain yourself, don't look around with this kind of eyes."

"What kind of look?" Zhan Zhao squinted at him.

"What are you thinking right now?"

"Where did you hide the IOU?" Zhan Zhao replied confidently.

"How are you going to find it?"

"Rip you off!"

"That's right." Bai Yutang nodded helplessly, "Don't look at me with such naked eyes on the street!"

Zhan Zhao blinked and looked aside, dead mouse.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's unwillingness, and asked him in a low voice, "Why don't you ask me what I want?"

Zhan Zhao looked back at him and asked, "What do you want?"

Bai Yutang suddenly and slowly stretched out his hand.

Zhan Zhao watched the hand unfold in puzzlement, and gently tapped his slender index finger in his direction.

Zhan Zhao looked back to see where he ordered, there was nothing behind, only the shops on the street.

Zhan Zhao turned to look at Bai Yutang in puzzlement.

With a faint smile on the corner of Bai Yutang's mouth, he withdrew his hand and continued to carry it behind his back.

Behind, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang tilted their heads in confusion...Just now Bai Yutang pointed at Zhan Zhao's heart, and Zhan Zhao looked back...they also turned their faces to look, what was Zhan Zhao looking at?

Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang didn't speak, so he turned his face and looked at the direction of his finger just now, it was nothing... Then he caught up with Bai Yutang in front, put his hands behind his back, bent forward a little, raised his face to look at him, then Meaning - what do you want?

Bai Yutang reached out and patted Zhan Zhao's head lightly.

Zhan Zhao stood up straight, patted his head, and looked at Bai Yutang—don't pat me like you pat Xiao Wu.

Bai Yutang thought to himself - you and Xiao Wu are really not much different, it's just that you are more handsome and hairless.

Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang shook his head helplessly, he seemed to be in a low mood, and was a little puzzled—this rat took advantage of him and was so unhappy?

The two walked side by side.

Zhan Zhao was most afraid of being bored, so he asked Bai Yutang when he had nothing to say, "Which friend are you looking for?"

"Jade King Dong Xiao." Bai Yutang said lightly.

"Dong Xiao..." Zhan Zhao had heard this name before, and the reason why he called him the Jade King was because he knew almost all the jades in the world.

"I heard that Dong Xiao has a weird personality. Does he know you very well?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Is he weird?" Bai Yutang didn't seem to think so.

"I heard that he only talks to people who are pleasing to the eye." Zhan Zhao said.

After hearing this, Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "Then I'm weird too?"

Zhan Zhao blinked. What Bai Yutang meant was that he only talked to people who were pleasing to his eyes. He felt inexplicably that rats speak with bones. Are they in a bad mood?

Bai Yutang took Zhan Zhao as they walked more and more remote, Xiao Liang let him sit on Xiao Wu's back when the fourth son was tired.

"Dong Xiao lives so far away?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Well, he lives outside the city." Bai Yutang pointed to a courtyard in the distance.

Zhan Zhao raised his face, looked in the direction of Bai Yutang's finger, frowned slightly, "The owner of Dongjiazhuang is Dong Xiao?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

"Sigh." Zhan Zhao suddenly sighed, and picked up the fourth son on Xiao Wu's back, "Otherwise, you can go by yourself, I'll wait here."

Bai Yutang was slightly puzzled, "Why?"

"I didn't get along with that owner." Zhan Zhao seemed quite surprised, "So that person is Dong Xiao, I thought it was just an ordinary member."

"What's wrong with him?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Before, I chased a criminal all the way to his village. I went in to arrest him, but he was covering up the criminal. Later, when I forcibly arrested him, I realized that he was sworn brother."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Dong Xiao's sworn brother?"

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao nodded, "It seems that he suspected his wife was cheating, and accidentally pushed him down during the quarrel, and his wife fell to her death, so I want to arrest him and sue him."

Bai Yutang frowned, "You did nothing wrong."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I arrested him and waited for Mr. Bao to interrogate him. He was charged with manslaughter. Although the crime was serious, he was not guilty of death. And his wife did cheat, and he conspired with an outside lover to poison her father-in-law. Then he took over the family property. But that brother Dong Xiao didn’t know why he couldn’t think about it, so he committed suicide in prison at night.”

Bai Yutang was taken aback.

Zhan Zhao threw up his hands helplessly, "Dong Xiao had spoken harshly to me at that time, saying that we could not live together."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "He's just venting his anger."

"If it were you, you would be upset. After all, brother's death is not worth it. When I went to arrest him, Dong Xiao discussed with me and persuaded him to surrender and let me give him a few days. But I'm afraid of him The two conspired to run away, and insisted on arresting him." Zhan Zhao also seemed to be quite regretful.

Bai Yutang didn't take it seriously, "If his brother wanted to die, he would hang himself at home. If Dong Xiao wanted to blame you, he would still blame you for not insisting on taking him to prison, otherwise he wouldn't have died in prison." home."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "As for being so unreasonable?"

Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "Who knows." Then, he stopped and pointed behind Zhan Zhao, which meant - turn around.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Aren't you going?"

"No one in Kaifeng knows that I have a good relationship with you." Bai Yutang said, "An enemy's friend is an enemy. Dong Xiao won't see me and won't help. Go back, let's find another way."

Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed, "Isn't it? He's such an adult, he has a grudge against me, but not against you."

"Then just pretend that I don't want to associate with someone who has a grudge against you." Bai Yutang said it lightly, tilting his head, motioning for Zhan Zhao to go back.

Zhan Zhao hugged the fourth son, turned around, and followed Bai Yutang.

Xiao Liang sat cross-legged on Xiao Wu's back, resting his chin with both hands, listening to the conversation between Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, thoughtful, Xiao Si had already fallen asleep lying on Zhan Zhao's shoulder.

The two were returning along the same road, but they saw a large carriage approaching in front of them.

Seeing that the carriage was quite big and the road was relatively narrow, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang gave way to the side.

But the two gave in, Xiao Wu didn't.

Xiao Wu was still sleepy. He looked up and saw two horses running towards him dragging a cart. He wondered why they should give way to the horses. The horses should run away when they saw Grandpa turn around.

Xiao Wu's idea was indeed right, there were not many horses in the world that could run without seeing it.

Sure enough, the two horses pulling the cart stopped immediately when they saw Xiao Wu, neighed and backed away, shaking their heads, and one of them trembled with fright, as if it was about to lie down on the ground.

The driver was a coachman in his 50s, who hurriedly grabbed the horse's reins and kept shouting "Woo", trying to calm the horse down.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Zhao called Xiao Wu and waved to it, which meant—come here!

Xiao Wu had no choice but to carry Xiao Liang over obediently.

Xiao Liang was still in a daze and didn't move.

Xiao Wu got out of the way, but the horse probably wouldn't be able to walk in a short time, so he swayed to the side in fright.

The coachman had no choice but to get off his horse and tell the people in the carriage, "Master, the carriage may not be able to go."

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man in black in his 30s got out of the carriage with a brocade box in his hand.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning when they saw the person who looked down—Dong Xiao.

When Dong Xiao got out of the carriage and looked up, he saw Bai Yutang for the first time. He was both surprised and happy, "Brother Bai?!"

Bai Yutang nodded to him.

When Zhan Zhao saw Dong Xiao's appearance, it shouldn't be as simple as a casual acquaintance.

Dong Xiao laughed loudly, "Long time no see, Brother Bai, haha, I ran into him today, and I said this carriage can't move...Hurry up, come back to the village with me..."

When Dong Xiao said this, he couldn't continue, because he saw Zhan Zhao at a glance.

Zhan Zhao was rather embarrassed, and nodded slightly to Dong Xiao.

The smile on Dong Xiao's face disappeared immediately, and he said in a cold voice, "It turns out that Mr. Zhan has stepped on the lowly ground, so he is coming to my village to take someone again?"

The corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself—forget it, bear with you, anyway, everything is not going well today.

"Haah~" The fourth son seemed to be woken up by the voice, yawned and stretched his waist. After waking up, he saw Zhan Zhao in front of him, put his arms around his neck and asked affectionately, "What about cats?" Is it done?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded, "It's done, let's go back, shall we?"

"Okay, let's go to the barracks to play with Jiujiu?" The fourth son clapped his hands.

"Hehe." Dong Xiao didn't seem to let go of any opportunity to ridicule Zhan Zhao, "It turns out that besides being Bao Zheng's domestic slave, you also have to be the ninth prince's domestic slave. It's really not easy."

Zhan Zhao was in the fire, wondering if he should be slapped, really wanted to slap him, forget it, he is Bai Yutang's friend...be patient.

After Dong Xiao finished speaking, he ignored Zhan Zhao and said to Bai Yutang, "Brother Bai, this way please."

Bai Yutang didn't move, and looked at Dong Xiao with no expression on his face.

"Brother Bai?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, then suddenly took out the broken jade pendant, gave it to Dong Xiao, and asked, "Who made it?"

Dong Xiao took the jade pendant and looked at it, "Yo! This craftsmanship is good, it should be the craftsmanship of jade masters in Yunnan." He said, smelling the pine scent, nodded, "That's right! The north uses wax, and the south uses rosin. "

"Do you know who did it?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Hmm..." Dong Xiao thought for a while and said, "You can ask Mrs. Ye, she knows Nanyu best, especially this kind of fake jade."

Bai Yutang nodded, took the jade pendant, and said to Dong Xiao, "Let's break up the relationship."

"Uh...huh?" Dong Xiao was said inexplicably, "Breakdown?"

Zhan Zhao also looked at Bai Yutang in surprise.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Seeing that I have some friendship with you, I won't bother you with your first sentence 'house slave'. The second sentence is 'house slave' and we have broken off friendship. If I hear another sentence Listen, you can get yourself a good jade coffin and use it when you are going to be buried."

After finishing speaking, I left.

Zhan Zhao looked at Dong Xiao who was stunned, and then at Bai Yutang who left in anger, feeling a little embarrassed.

The fourth son also looked around with his face in his hands—what's the situation?

Xiao Liang rested his cheek with one hand, curled his lips, "I can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."

Dong Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang squinted his eyes, "I know that people tell you to utter bad words without caring about you. In terms of truth, a hundred of you like you are dead. Cut it, you don't know how to praise you."

Dong Xiao's face was a little hot.This kid's mouth is really vicious, but it's true, with Zhan Zhao's kung fu, he probably just endured it for Bai Yutang's sake, otherwise a hundred people like him would have been beaten.It's just... Dong Xiao is also dissatisfied. He and Bai Yutang have been friends for several years. Recently, there are rumors in Kaifeng that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are very close, but breaking up with him for Zhan Zhao is not enough friends!

"Bai Yutang!" Dong Xiao also turned his face, and asked from behind, "Since you want to break up with me, why do you still ask me about the source of the jade pendant?!"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows indifferently, "I really didn't want to ask, but this cat can't be scolded in vain, it's a good deal for you."

The corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth couldn't help but twitch, so he quickly endured it, he couldn't laugh right now, even though he was quite happy...

"You..." Dong Xiao sneered, "You and him are friends and I am also friends. Friends also have their own importance, so I misread you."

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, "Of course friends are different."

Dong Xiao frowned, "If one day, Zhan Zhao has conflicts with your elder brothers, you will also break up with your elder brothers? You are a ruthless person!"

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to go further and further away. If Dong Xiao went to the rivers and lakes to spread rumors about Bai Yutang's ruthlessness...Although Bai Yutang's reputation is not very good, the level of ruthlessness should not be as good as his original level. Some commented that "turning faces is faster than turning books".

"how is this possible."

The question that was originally difficult to answer, unexpectedly, Bai Yutang responded easily. He reached out and patted Zhan Zhao's head lightly, and said, "My brothers don't know how much I like him."

Zhan Zhao blinked—really?No wonder local products are often sent over.

"You..." Before Dong Xiao finished speaking, Bai Yutang's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "I like them, they all treat them well, and being my friend is the minimum requirement."

"Asshole, to be friends with you is to treat Zhan Zhao kindly?" Dong Xiao felt ridiculous, "What's the point?"

"That's right." Bai Yutang nodded and raised his eyebrows, "This is the most basic truth."

"That is to say, all Zhan Zhao's enemies are your enemies, and all your friends are also Zhan Zhao's friends?" Dong Xiao paused, "Did you fall into Zhan Zhao's evil in Bai Wu? There is no principle at all." Already!"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows indifferently, "This is the principle."

Dong Xiao was so choked that he didn't say a word, and he shook his sleeve viciously, "If you break up the friendship, you will break up. I, Dong Xiao, don't have a friend like you." Kind of cruel words... But he still swallowed the words, Bai Yutang is not a joking person, maybe he will really die and go home in a while.

Dong Xiao was so angry that he got into the carriage, ordered his servants to drive back, and said, "From now on, I, Dong Xiao, and Bai Yutang are no longer friends, and anyone who wants to be friends with me is not allowed to discuss with Bai Yutang." Friendship, otherwise we will all break up."

Dong Xiao's carriage left, but Bai Yutang continued walking without stopping.

Zhan Zhao hugged his fourth son and followed behind, a little helpless.

The fourth son asked Bai Yutang curiously, "Bai Bai, you broke up with your friend? Why?"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "He scolded Zhan Zhao."

"Ah?!" The fourth son was surprised, and then angrily said, "I'm going to break up with him!"

Bai Yutang smiled faintly, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Go and ask Mrs. Ye."

"Madam Ye?" Zhan Zhao didn't recognize her.

"Mrs. Ye from Fangguzhai." Bai Yutang said, "Specialize in making fakes."

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Is there a place like this in Kaifeng?"

"Don't catch her for a while." Bai Yutang said, "She is my sister-in-law's sister."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and rubbed his arm against him, "Then what if he doesn't like me too? Then what should I do?"

Seeing Zhan Zhao's appearance of being cheap and good-looking, Bai Yutang felt inexplicably better, and raised his eyebrows with his hands behind his back, "Break off friendship."

"Break off friendship too?" Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide.

Bai Yutang nodded, very sure, "Break friendship."

The corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth turned up, and he followed him with a smile.

The fourth son folded his arms and nodded, "Yes, yes, the fourth son's friends also like Daddy, Jiujiu, Xiaoliangzi, Maomao, Baibai, Zunzun, Yinyin..."

Xiao Liang looked up at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with his chin resting on his face, and felt that this scene was somewhat familiar in his head... I remembered... His father was like this too!Whoever dares to say a bad word about his mother, his father will slash people with a knife, and even the best friends will break up - oh, so this is called principle, tsk.
