Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Chapter 168 [Introducing the King into the Urn]

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang searched for the body of the Uighur envoy, but found nothing all the way. Unexpectedly, they found the decomposed body under the Buddha statue in a ruined temple to avoid the rain.

At the same time, the two also discovered that someone was coming behind the ruined temple.

Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang and hid behind the wall. Xiao Wu was still squatting aside and tilting his head. Zhan Zhao waved at it, and Xiao Wu trotted over, rubbing his big head on Zhan Zhao's waist as usual. .

Zhan Zhaowangtian, usually when he is at home, especially when he wakes up every morning, there will be kittens rubbing his legs, Xiao Wu rubbing his waist, and all kinds of cats that can't squeeze in are rolling and begging to be petted.

Pressing Xiao Wu's head, Zhan Zhao reached out to pinch its ears.

Bai Yutang pointed to the door to him, signaling—here he came.

Sure enough, I heard the sound of kicking slippers.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, did he come from a gang of beggars or something?Wearing shoes and kicking...

Just when the two were wondering, a young man really ran in at the back door of the ruined temple, dressed in rags, kicking and kicking with a pair of worn slippers on his feet, and holding a jug of wine in his hand. pheasant.

Inexplicably, Zhan Zhao felt—this young man looks familiar?

As the man walked in, he said to himself, "Oh, the year is not good, let's escape to the mountains for a while. It rains every three days in this ghostly weather." He walked into the temple while talking, and then It seemed that he smelled something strange, sniffed it, pinched his nose, "Why is it so smelly..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. It seems that this person came here for the first time, and he didn't know that there were corpses in this temple. Besides... Zhan Zhao had already remembered where he had seen him.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao took two steps forward, and suddenly reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Xiao Dongzi."

"Mom..." The young man jumped up in shock, the chicken in his hand flew, and the wine jar was smashed, he sat down on the ground, turned his head and looked up...

Xiao Dongzi's face was originally pale, but it softened a little. He got up, knelt and grabbed the front of Zhan Zhao's clothes, "Oh, Mr. Zhan, you can save my life!"

Zhan Zhao lifted his sleeves and took a look. Sure enough, there was a fire phoenix tattoo on his wrist, which was exactly what he had seen before.

Bai Yutang winked at Zhan Zhao, this is like stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it, it took no effort at all.

The two first asked someone to secretly transport the body of the Uighur envoy back to Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun inspected it, and at the same time asked someone to identify whether it was the real Chi Ye and others.

And Xiaodongzi was taken back to Kaifeng Mansion by Zhan Zhao and the others for interrogation.

This little Dongzi has an unshaven beard at the moment, so he doesn't look like a eunuch at first glance.

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Are you pretending to be a eunuch to sneak into the palace? Oh, you're doomed."

Xiaodongzi cried with a sad face, "I can't help it, Mr. Zhan."

So everyone asked Xiao Dongzi to explain everything he knew, including how he sneaked into the palace, how he escaped, and what his purpose was.

Xiaodongzi didn't hide anything, and told everything he knew.

It turns out that Xiaodongzi's real name is Wang Dong, he is a snitch, and his family has been Liang Shangke for generations.However, Wang Dong is relatively timid, so even if he has outstanding lightness kung fu and "craftsmanship" handed down from his family, he only dares to steal some gold and silver from small rich families. He never thinks about those rare treasures.

Unexpectedly, he was careful everywhere but couldn't resist the disaster. Wang Dong set his sights on a jade shop a few years ago. On a dark and windy day, he sneaked in smoothly, planning to leave with a jade pendant or two.

Speaking of which, that day was also a day of evil, Wang Dongqian had chosen a day, but the sky suddenly changed. Just after he sneaked into the shop, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and the rain poured down.

After a few thunders, Wang Dong heard the chaos in the backyard, and hurriedly jumped onto the beam. At this moment, someone rushed in, holding a sack and scratching all kinds of gold, silver and jade objects.Wang Dong thought at the time, is this a robbery or something?

At the same time, someone shouted outside, "Don't take it, it's too late to run!"

Everyone threw the jade pendant and ran away, screams and cries continued outside, and everyone who heard it was terrified.

Wang Dong got off the beam and looked at the door. He took a breath, and saw that the house suddenly flooded, and the whole backyard was ablaze. The owner of the jade shop was rolling on the ground covered in flames. Take care of this little thief.

Wang Dong felt that the fire was suspicious. Before he came in just now, the surroundings were all fine. How could it be possible that all the houses suddenly caught fire?Besides, it's raining heavily now!How could there be a fire under heavy rain? The weirdest thing is that no matter how much rain water pours it, it won't go out!

But if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, escape is still important!Wang Dong turned his head and picked up the bag containing the treasure left by the guys just now, ran out to have a look, found a gap, and slipped out with lightness kung fu.

Wang Dong went outside, ran a long way, hid on the hillside and looked down, and saw that the whole shop was almost burnt to ashes, even if it was too late to pour water to put out the fire, the fire had already spread to the whole street .

Wang Dong was also emotional at the time, thinking that the owner of the jade shop had offended people, and the most pitiful were those innocent neighbors, who didn’t know how much the jade pendant in their pockets was worth. Come back tomorrow to help the neighbors.

Originally, Wang Dong wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly a black shadow fell in front of him, and he was knocked out before he could see what was going on.

When he woke up, he found himself in a cave, surrounded by torches, and no one was watching.

He stood up, saw that the bag of treasures was still there, and no one had touched it, so he picked it up and prepared to run...

After running out of the room and seeing a long corridor in front of him, Wang Dong ran back in fright without even taking a step outside.

Because there are grooves on both sides of the road outside the door, and there seems to be kerosene in the grooves, burning raging fire, as soon as the feet step on the floor, they feel hot!

Wang Dong thought that he might have done too many crimes and stole too many things, so he went to hell.

But just when he was afraid, a person came from the firelight.

From afar, Wang Dong first saw a pair of green lights, just like the eyes of a paparazzi at night, so bright!

Later, when I got closer, I realized that it was a man wearing a mask. The man was dressed in black and wore a black mask. The mask was very hideous.Behind him was a man in a cloak, who was also dressed in black with a white mask. His first reaction was—black and white are impermanent!

After the man in the black mask came in, he looked Wang Dong up and down, and asked him if he wanted to join their Chiliantang and work for him.

Wang Dong said he was not interested, so he said, there are two ways for him to go, one way is to join, then the bag of gold, silver and jewelry will still be his, and the other way is not to join, then throw it in the ditch to be human wax, Wang Dong With nowhere to go, he had no choice but to agree.

After entering the Chilian Hall, Wang Dong realized that it was like a cult. The leader and the two deputy leaders were all monsters who set fires randomly and were not afraid of fire. Their martial arts were extremely high and their identities were mysterious.

He found that there are still many congregants, each of them has two kinds of tattoos on their hands, one is a dragon, the other is a phoenix, and both are fire dragons and fire phoenixes.He was also tattooed with a fire phoenix, and then sent out to "perform a mission".

Wang Dong is good at Qinggong and is in charge of sending messages.

At first, Wang Dong didn't think he was too tired. For the first time, he was in charge of staring at a bank, and he didn't know what to do... Later, a person with the same tattoo of the fire phoenix told him to send a message, saying that the target was confirmed. .

Wang Dong went to spread the word. After the word was passed, he took a lamp with a green lampshade, filled a glazed basin with water, and together with several other disciples of Chilian Hall, used fire phoenix and fire dragon in the dark night when the rain was pouring. Jade pendant, created the effect of fire phoenix and fire dragon.

Wang Dong thought it was quite fun at first, the master of Chiliantang was quite creative, he didn't need to fly a kite, he played with a fire dragon directly.

But before he finished his fun, the fire dragon began to "breathing fire".

In an instant, the mansion was engulfed in flames, and Wang Dong was completely dumbfounded. This is a reckless disregard for human life. How many people will be burned to death in this sky fire, and how many innocent people will be affected!Needless to say, they also set off the evil fire that they encountered in the jade shop before, and I just got on a thief's boat.

From then on, Wang Dong felt that his petty theft in the past was nothing compared to the real murder and arson now.

Wang Dong also saw the disciples around him betrayed, and then they were thrown into the trough to be human wax!The kung fu of the master of Chilian Hall was so good and terrifying that none of the traitors survived to the next day.

Wang Dong felt that if this went on like this, it would be a matter of time before he fell into the fire pit and died. In addition, he also understood that this Chiliantang was just looking for things and people everywhere.The thing he was looking for seemed to be a turtle shell or something, anyway, he never found it once.Then most of the people who are looking for are doing big business, and when they find someone, they will set fire to almost the entire village, which is simply devoid of conscience.

In the end, Wang Dong found an opportunity, and Chiliantang wanted to send someone into the palace, pretending to be a little eunuch.

Wang Dong volunteered to go, because he was clever and usually flattering, so he was arranged to enter the palace.In fact, he didn't purify himself. When he arrived in the palace, he was sent to the warehouse in a daze, and then began to search for various documents and various tributes to collect clues for Chiliantang.

Last time, Wang Dong really showed Zhan Zhao the tattoo on his hand on purpose, because he thought that Zhan Zhao was very skilled in martial arts, and he was also a well-known figure in the world, so he might be able to help him.

But he didn't dare to say it clearly, because he might be found to be a traitor anytime, anywhere, and that was no joke.

Two days ago, Wang Dong discovered that Nangong Ji seemed to be secretly looking for someone with a tattoo on his arm. He thought he was finally saved!But someone came to inform him that the hall master wanted to see him and asked him to go back, so that day, he was assigned an errand to go out of the palace.

Wang Dong realized that the other party might want to kill him, so he took advantage of the chaos and slipped away... Hiding in the mountains, shaving off his beard and pretending to be a beggar, waiting for what happened outside.He originally wanted to go to Kaifeng Mansion for help, but he was afraid that he would be silenced if he left the woods, so he didn't dare to move. Unexpectedly... he ran into Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Wang Dong told everyone what he saw and heard and what happened during this period of time.

Zhan Zhao asked him, who is that man wearing a cloak with burns all over his body?

Wang Dong said that it was the deputy leader.

"Deputy leader?" Bai Yutang frowned, saying this - there is one vice leader and one leader, doesn't it mean that there are three leaders in total.

"Bronze bell should be one of the deputy leaders." Zhao Pu asked Wang Dong, "Then what does your regular leader look like?"

"Well, I'm not sure about that. He's very mysterious and you don't usually see him very often, but the two deputy leaders are very afraid of him. He's so good at kung fu that it's scary! We sometimes wonder if he's actually a ghost or not."

Yin Hou rubbed his chin, "Could it be the legendary Chen Mao?"

Everyone also felt suspicious, but they couldn't be sure.

"Then do you know where the underground palace full of fire is?" Zhan Zhao asked Wang Dong.

Wang Dong shook his head, "I really don't know. The people in Chilian Hall are very careful. Every time we are knocked out or fainted with drugs, we will be in Chilian Palace when we wake up."

"Your leader asked you to look for someone in addition to the turtle shell in the palace? Tell me in detail what kind of person you are looking for?" Master Bao asked.

"People, most of the ancestors were very rich and lived in the Western Regions. They specialized in gold, silver and jade trading and were very knowledgeable. The younger generation is relatively low-key, and they have ancestral jade pendants and gold at home, which look like the style of the Han Dynasty. "

Wang Dong told everything he knew, Master Bao simply put him in the prison in Kaifeng Mansion, someone guarded him day and night, at least it was safer than wandering outside, and no one knew he was there.Wang Dong was quite happy, he could finally sleep soundly, without having to worry all day long, and he found that the food in the prison in Kaifeng Mansion was not bad.

Through Wang Dong's dictation, the case has made some progress.

Before nightfall, Gongsun finished the autopsy and told everyone that these people were indeed Uyghurs, and an envoy from the palace who had visited Uyghurs secretly invited by Zhao Pu recognized a big man among the corpses at a glance, saying that this person It is Chi Ye.

"Then next..." Lord Bao blinked at the crowd, "It's time to go to the Eight Princes' Mansion and get Chihami here. It's best if you can even capture Tongling alive. If you catch him, you can find more clues gone."

So, everyone took advantage of the night and ran to the Eight Princes' Mansion.

The shadow guards carefully prepared the mechanism to arrest Tongling and others. Hong Jiuniang is a master of using fire, and designed a fireproof net bag for everyone.

As for the so-called one thing falling down on one thing, water can't extinguish the fire of the copper bell, but sand can. The shadow guards have prepared several buckets of sand and put them on the eaves. If it really catches fire in a while, they will bury the copper bell alive up.

Of course, the two masters of Tianzun and Yinhou are needed to help out, so that it will be safe.

What Tianzun meant was to throw two buckets of water in addition to splashing mud and sand, and directly freeze people into popsicles!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang squatted on the wall, watching the envoys coming one after another. The envoys from other countries were taken to Dongkuayuan, but the Uighur envoys never arrived. Everyone thought it would be better if they came last, so they took them directly to Xikuayuan. Lest they suspect and be afraid...not coming for a while!

Zhan Zhao squatted until his feet were numb, he bent up and beat his own leg, and asked Bai Yutang, "Do you think you won't come?"

"Maybe." Bai Yutang shrugged.

"You have to come." Zhao Pu also fell down, gnawing a bunch of grapes in a good mood, "He pretended to be a Uighur envoy, and his purpose is probably to enter the palace. The emperor's brother said beforehand that he is not allowed to enter the palace until tomorrow. Then he spent a long time pretending to be a messenger, isn't it a waste of work?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, then looked at the grapes in his hand, and asked, "Where did you get the grapes?"

Zhao Pu laughed happily, "My son gave it to me!"

The corners of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's mouths twitched, Zhao Pu didn't care about calling the fourth son the fourth son from just now, and just called him son.Originally, he wanted the fourth son to call him father, but the fourth son's father came and went, and he confused Mr. Gongsun.For example, when we first arrived, the fourth son said that Gongsun was so busy with the autopsy that he hadn't eaten yet, and wanted Zhao Pu to bring him something to eat, so he said, "Daddy, Daddy hasn't had dinner yet. Daddy has some food here." There's nothing to eat, hurry up and get some for Dad."

The Eighth Prince and Princess laughed out loud, Zhao Pu was also very embarrassed, and Gongsun always seemed to be a bit apprehensive, so Zhao Pu still asked the fourth son to call himself Jiujiu.

Gongsun seemed quite satisfied. Right now, he was in the backyard, eating the beef vermicelli soup brought to him by Zhao Pu himself. The fourth son and Xiao Liang were chatting with the prince and concubine in the backyard. There was no need for the two of them to show up for such a dangerous event tonight. .

"Is there any beef vermicelli soup?" Zhan Zhao remembered that they were so busy that they still haven't had time to eat.

Zhao Pu asked, "Shall I ask someone to fetch two bowls?"

"Forget it, forget it." Zhan Zhao quickly waved his hand, "It's inconvenient to eat vermicelli soup, so don't get caught up in a while, let's talk about it after solving the case."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yutang gently touched his shoulder.

Zhan Zhao looked back at him puzzled, Bai Yutang reached out and handed him a beautiful wooden box.

Zhan Zhao accepted it puzzledly, opened it, and saw that in the wooden box, there were nine delicate fish siu mai in a circle, six round shrimp ball crystal dumplings in the inner circle, and three crab roe pan-fried buns in the middle, which were still steaming. As for the hot air, a pair of exquisite silver chopsticks are in the groove on the edge of the wooden box.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, held the box and looked at Bai Yutang, "Mouse, what is this..."

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and touched his nose lightly, "The cat food box is for going out."

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched. How much thought did Bai Yutang put into it? At first glance, the wooden box was made of wood, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be made of Moyu.Compared to this one, those foolish lords who spent a lot of money on Bomei people's smiles are so weak...

Zhan Zhao smiled and chewed the siu mai contentedly, and stuffed Bai Yutang's mouth with crystal dumplings, special food boxes for going out, high-end!The guard Zhan automatically ignored the words "Hey the cat".

After he finished eating, Bai Yutang gently pulled out the bottom of the box, and pulled out a flat silver jug.

Zhan Zhao uncorked and took a sip, his favorite Lihuabai!

Zhan Zhao took a sip and asked Bai Yutang to drink again. He rubbed his stomach to show that he was full... Zhao Pu watched from the side, thinking that Bai Yutang really fed Zhan Zhao like a cat, and Zhan Zhao did the same. It's really like a cat when it's full, and it's almost time to stretch its paws to wash your face.

At the same time, Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo fell behind the crowd and gave the three of them a wink—here we come!
