Dragon Pattern Roll Set

In the final analysis, everyone is still a blessed person. I don't know if it was the good luck of the youngest son who helped everyone, or Zhan Zhao and others are good people who reward good people with good fortune...Meng Qing's poisonous plan that has been planned for many years has not come true after all.

After Grand Master Pang's analysis, the case became clear, but to catch Meng Qing, other clues are needed. Where did he hide?

Bai Yutang saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he asked Zhan Zhao, how about going to the Demon Palace to pay a visit in advance?

Zhan Zhao refused, "That can't be done, you can go there happily, and it's the first time you go home, so naturally everything goes smoothly."

Bai Yutang inexplicably had another delusion - to choose a good day and auspicious day, so what... meet the parents.

Two days later, it was still calm.

On the contrary, Bao Yan and Pang Yu, who were sorting out the yamen files, found some clues.

Holding a thick stack of files, the two of them rushed into the yard while nibbling on a steamed bun made of black rice flour, and said, "I found something."

"What did you find?" Master Bao asked.

Pang Yu put the dossiers on the table and said, "These dossiers, the two magistrates have drawn cinnabar circles."

With that said, Bao Yan spread out the file and said, "There is one thing in common."

Everyone leaned over to look, and then raised their faces, "I have reported to the officials before that the temporary workers in the house disappeared, or some people who came to Changzhou from other places disappeared."

Master Bao frowned, "That said, it's not that no one has noticed that there are so many homeless people, beggars, etc... But these people are all dead."

"There are all kinds of strange ways of death, some were hit by a car, some accidentally drowned... But these people have all been to the Yamen before." Pang Yu also chewed a black rice noodle steamed bun, and said, "And obviously these prefects also found out This point was circled with a red pen, but it was a pity that I was in trouble before I could report or investigate."

While talking, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang also came, holding two big drawers of steamed buns made of black rice noodles, which seemed to be freshly baked in the kitchen.

Everyone was holding it, and when the grand master was about to reach out to grab one, Mr. Bao patted the back of his hand.

"Hiss..." The grand master rubbed the back of his hand and looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng took away the last one with black rice noodles, and gave the Taishi one with soybean noodles.

The grand master was dissatisfied, "I want to eat the black one!"

Master Bao raised his eyebrows, what does that mean - anyone can eat it, but you can't!

The grand master is dissatisfied-why? !

Mrs. Bao is chewing on the steamed buns made of black rice noodles - I'm not happy to see you chewing black!

The grand master hummed and ate bean noodle buns angrily, this sunspot knew how to bully him!

Zhan Zhao looked at the file while eating, "Sure enough, it was because of something that was found that he was murdered. It's a pity that the insiders are all dead, and there is no further clue."

"Not necessarily." Pang Yu touched his waist pocket and found something, "I found this roll of paper stuffed into Liu Zhifu's pen holder." Pang Yu said, handing the roll of paper to Mr. Bao .

Master Bao opened it and saw that it was written on the paper——Beijie Chengtonglou and Heshan Wharf, a notice with a blue border.

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin, "Chengtonglou is the largest restaurant in Changzhou Prefecture, but the grade is not high. Most of the products sold are steamed stuffed buns, cakes and noodles, which are affordable and easy to eat. They are opened in Heshan Behind the wharf. This Heshan Wharf is the canal wharf leading to the north of Changzhou Prefecture. There is a large amount of goods coming and going every day, and many idle people go there to do labor to move things. Who in Changzhou Prefecture wants to move something or tear down a house? For timber and the like, notices should be posted at the gate of the copper building in the upper city.”

"The notice with the blue border?" Master Bao asked, "Is it some kind of special notice?"

This Zhan Zhao didn't understand, so he called Zhan Fu.

Zhanfu laughed as soon as he heard it, and said, "There are too many notices, and I can't even read them. Moreover, many workers at the dock are actually illiterate. So the recruiters use the color of the notice to distinguish the type of notice. Usually the red border Those who are looking for long-term workers need to work for more than a year. Those with a few months have a yellow side, and the blue side is for a day or two. The red side is usually not torn off, but sticks all the time, and the blue side is torn off directly. until it's over."

"Oh..." Everyone nodded.

"The blue-bordered notice usually has an address on it. If you can't read, you can ask the guy in the same building to show it. After reading it, you can find the owner according to the address and show him the notice. They will arrange you to work and pay you on the same day. Most of them are well paid. Many people rush to reveal the blue side notices, and there are many such notices, especially during busy farming seasons or shipping seasons, and some just wait at the pier."

"This is a matter of common sense. Prefect Liu deliberately stuffed it into the pen holder. Could it be an important clue?" Zhan Zhao looked at the pen. Did Prefect Liu stuff it in?

"Why don't we go to the pier and have a look?" Bai Yutang suggested.

"Oh." Zhan Fu waved his hands, "You two can't go."

"Why?" Zhan Zhao looked at Zhan Fu in puzzlement.

Zhan Fu said, "There is a mix of people and snakes at the dock, young master, you are an official servant, once you go there, you will be messed up, and if you ask anyone, they will not tell you. In case someone leaves with you, you don't have to mess around at the dock anymore." gone."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Why?"

"Then I'll find two shadow guards to inquire about it?" Zhao Pu asked.

Zhan Fu nodded, "This is feasible, why don't we post a few notices with blue borders?"

Everyone looks at Zhanfu.

"Yes." Master Bao nodded, "This is also a way to attract some people from the wharf to work, and inquire about it by the way."

"I can do it well." Zhan Fu said, "The warehouse where the master stores the goods has not been cleaned for a long time, and I am going to take out the things in it to dry in the sun. I will post ten blue borders notice, and then Bai Fu and I mixed in to inquire about it."

"Very good!" Lord Bao nodded, and Zhan Fu and Bai Fu went to work together.

In the end...Zhan Zhao and the others still had nothing to do, only the shadow guards were busy.

At this time, Chen Xing'er ran in from outside, looking for Bai Yutang, "Master, Tianzun said he was not feeling well."

Bai Yutang opened his eyes wide and was stunned, then stood up in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"

Zhan Zhao and the others were also taken aback, thinking that they suddenly feel uncomfortable when they are over 100 years old, don't be scary!

"He said he didn't feel well, so he told you to go." Chen Xing'er was also helpless, "He hid in the house and refused to go out, and Yue Ya'er and I brought him breakfast, but he didn't open. He drove us to look for you, saying that you were the only one. people go."

Bai Yutang panicked, thinking that this has never happened before, so something happened, right?

So, Bai Yutang hurried to Tianzun's courtyard, Zhan Zhao and the others also felt that it was terrible, and hurriedly followed, not daring to enter the courtyard, and gathered around the gate to watch.

Bai Yutang ran to the door of the house, and saw Yue Ya'er walking around the door with breakfast, "Master."

When Bai Yutang reached the door of the house, he heard Tianzun shout from inside, "You are only allowed in!"

Bai Yutang was startled, "Oh." As he was about to open the door, he heard Tianzun shout, "A crack!"

Bai Yutang frowned, thinking what's wrong?I had no choice but to open a crack and squeeze in, and then I heard Tianzun say, "Close the door!"

Bai Yutang hurriedly closed the door, and saw that in the room, the bed curtain was placed, and Tianzun was hiding in the bed and could not come out.

"Master?" Bai Yutang walked to the bed, "What's wrong with you?"

Tianzun didn't speak.

Bai Yutang asked, "What's wrong with you, I'll ask Gongsun to show you..."

"Woo, I'm ashamed to face people as a teacher!" Tianzun said suddenly.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "What's wrong with you? Did you lose your virginity?"

"Fart!" Tianzun said angrily, "Who did you learn from? You're so rude!"

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't think he sounded like he was sick, why was he ashamed to see others?Thinking of this, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand, and quietly opened a little bit of the bed curtain to look inside...

In an instant, Bai Yutang was dumbfounded.I saw a man in white sitting there hugging his knees, his appearance and figure were exactly like his master's, but... his master's silver hair was gone, replaced by a long black hair, that black...

"Who are you?!" Bai Yutang was startled, and opened the bed curtain.

Tianzun glanced at him resentfully.

Bai Yutang closed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating, but when he opened it again, he still had black hair.

Bai Yutang opened his mouth wide, sat down, picked up a handful of Tianzun's hair and looked carefully, it was right - black and shiny!

"What's the matter with you?" Bai Yutang was speechless for a while, and asked, "Poisoned?"

Tianzun flattened his mouth.

"What about internal strength?" After Bai Yutang asked, he felt that it was unnecessary. Tianzun's ability to maintain his youthful appearance shows that his internal strength is normal. When it comes to appearance...

Bai Yutang pinched Tianzun's face, "You... have you rejuvenated? Why are you so young?"

Tianzun held his face and sighed, "There must be something wrong!"

Bai Yutang felt for his pulse, everything about his body was normal, and his internal strength was also so unfathomable.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Bai Yutang asked tentatively.

"No." Tianzun held his face and looked unhappy.

Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Actually, it's pretty good, he looks like he's in his twenties."

Tianzun glared at him, covered his hair, "It's so ugly!"

"That's not true." Bai Yutang shook his head honestly, thinking that it was not ordinary good-looking!It turned out that he looked like this when he was young.Bai Yutang has always wanted to see what his master's black hair looks like, so it's like this!It is estimated that the fairy descends to earth is just so worth it.

"I think I just lived in the Demon Palace for the past few days. I may have eaten something dirty. You call that old ghost here." Tianzun said while covering his head.

"Are you going to the Demon Palace to find him..."

"I'm not going out!" Tianzun covered his head with his clothes.

Bai Yutang was speechless, "Okay...are you hungry?"

Tianzun nodded.

"What do you want to eat?" Bai Yutang coaxed the fourth son.

"ravioli."

"I'll ask Chen Xing'er to bring it in for you."

"Don't!" Tianzun continued to quarrel, "You take it in, don't tell others!"

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, "It's really not ugly."

Tianzun squinted his eyes and warned Bai Yutang - do you dare to speak out and try? !

"Okay... I'm afraid of you." Bai Yutang walked out helplessly, still squeezed through a crack, and saw that everyone at the door looked like quails waiting to be fed, and looked at him with wide eyes. .

Bai Yutang struggled for a long time, shook his head and sighed, "It's hard to say."

Everyone was surprised, "So serious?"

"I can't say it's serious, it's kind of weird anyway." Bai Yutang patted his head and asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, can you let your grandfather come over?"

"Oh." Zhan Zhao was about to release the golden shell to call Yinhou, Hong Jiuniang said, "I'll call, I'll be here in a while." After speaking, he flew away.

Bai Yutang asked Yue Ya'er to get a bowl of hot wontons, delivered them to Tianzun himself, and closed the door before coming out.

Gongsun asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yutang pointed out the door to everyone, that means, let's go outside...

It's just that before he had time to go out, he heard Tianzun Liang Sisi said inside, "If you dare to say it, it will expose your childhood stories."

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky and shrugged helplessly at the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, what happened?

After a while, I saw Yin Hou coming.

Yinhou heard Hong Jiuniang say that something happened to Tianzun, and he hid and no one was looking for you, so he rushed to take a look.

Bai Yutang opened a small door for Yin Hou.

Yin Hou squeezed in with a puzzled face, and after a while, everyone heard Yin Hou's hearty laughter coming from inside, "Hahaha..."

Bai Yutang supported his forehead and shook his head, Zhan Zhao asked, "What happened?"

At this time, Yin Hou opened the door, and everyone saw Tianzun sitting at the table sulking, and... a black-haired Tianzun.

"Zunzun's hair has turned black!" The fourth son climbed up on the stool, held his face in surprise, and looked at Tianzun's hair.

"It's really dark!" Everyone felt incredible.

Gongsun took Tianzun's pulse and shook his head, "No problem, I'm in good health."

Zhan Zhao tugged at Yin Hou who was smiling, "What's wrong with Tianzun?"

Yin Hou smiled and said, "It's okay, this old man's internal strength has improved, so he will be white after a few days."

"Well, the tip of the hair is already a little white." Gongsun looked carefully at the tip of Tianzun's hair, puzzled, "How could this be?"

Yin Hou asked Tianzun, "What did you eat, thousand-year-old ginseng or ten-thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum? It's not easy to improve your internal energy."

Everyone also understood that the internal strength of Tianzun and Yinhou was capped, and there was no possibility of further changes, but Tianzun should have a sudden change in internal strength, which caused the white hair to turn black.

"No." Tianzun shook his head.

Bai Yutang stared at him, "Really?"

Tianzun raised his face, "No... right."

"Really?!" Bai Yutang frowned, "Think about it carefully!"

"Well..." Tianzun thought for a while, "No, I just ate a few meals in the magic palace, a few buns, a few bowls of noodles, and yes, a few figs."

"Figs?" Hong Jiuniang thought for a while, "Figs from the back mountain?"

"Yes." Tianzun nodded, "I think they look pretty good, so I picked a few and ate them."

When everyone looked at Gongsun, what did they mean—would it be like this if they ate figs?

Gongsun was puzzled, "No, it is true that figs have medicinal properties, but I have never heard that white hair will turn black after eating, and it is not Polygonum multiflorum."

Yinhou squinted at Tianzun, "Didn't you eat Polygonum multiflorum as a fig?"

"How is it possible?!" Tianzun glared at Yinhou, "You treat me like an idiot!"

Yinhou looks up at the sky—that's not certain, who knows what strange things will happen to you if you stay in a daze all day long.

This time, Wu Yifu went to the magic palace and brought a handful of figs for Gongsun to study.

Gongsun checked, "It's just an ordinary fig, how old is the fig tree?"

"That tree must be hundreds of years old." Yin Hou crossed his arms and thought for a while, "I was a very small tree when I built the magic palace, but it has survived until now."

Hong Jiuniang also nodded, "A lot of figs are produced every year. They are eaten fresh, made into preserved fruits, jams, and dried for medicine."

Zhan Zhao nodded, he didn't eat less.

Gongsun sniffed it, then raised his eyebrows, "This fig has a fragrance, which is similar to the medicine jade you carry."

Hong Jiuniang took out her medicine jade and smelled it, then went to smell the figs, nodded, "It's like."

"By the way, a few years ago, Meng Qing used a circle of medicine jade to make a flower stand for this fig tree." Mo Xu said.

"He also sprinkled a lot of white powder on it, which was made from Yaoyu." Hong Jiuniang recalled, "We asked him what he did, and he said it could prevent pests."

"Maybe, after the medicinal properties of this medicine jade are absorbed by the fig, it has the effect of improving internal strength." Gongsun said.

Everyone was stunned.

Tianzun touched his chin, "It seems that there are some effects..."

Yin Hou frowned, "He may have been researching the efficacy of Yaoyu at that time, and used that fig tree to conduct an experiment."

"Speaking of..." Zhan Zhao looked at Tianzun's hair, and said to himself, "Maybe whoever eats that fig will have a change in internal strength, but Tianzun has white hair, so it's obvious."

Mo Xu frowned, "Is Meng Qing secretly studying ways to enhance internal strength?"

"But I didn't realize how much his internal strength has improved." Zhan Zhao said.

Mo Xu calmed down for a moment, then shook his head, "No... Maybe he just concealed it well. When he sprinkled the poisonous powder on me that night, his internal energy was indeed much higher, and he also ran away faster. did other things.”

While everyone was discussing, Zhan Fu and Bai Fu ran in, "Master, we found it."

Zhan Zhao asked, "What did you find?"

"One of the workers who moved things for us said that he moved a lot of white stones to the Meng Mansion, and there were several weird people on board. Because the goods were moved before dawn, few people knew about them. But He had a bad stomach that day, and felt a stomachache just after moving two yuan, so he slipped away and had diarrhea. Later, he felt uncomfortable, so he simply went home and slept until dawn. He was too embarrassed to ask for money the next day. He didn’t move. He was always depressed and wanted to find some of his co-workers who moved things with him last night, and asked them how much they earned, but he couldn’t find his co-workers again.”

Everyone frowned—killing people to silence them? !

"Did he describe in detail what those strange people look like?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Well, he mentioned that there was one with gray hair, and it was blue under the moonlight..." As he said that, Bai Fu and Zhan Fu suddenly jumped up, looking at Tianzun's hair, "Yo, what's wrong with you, old man?!"

Tianzun sighed.

"Blue hair...it's Hefeng." Zhan Zhao became angry when he thought of Meng Qing, "Give the medicine jade to Hefeng, and come back to deal with the demon palace after improving his internal strength?"

Yin Hou rubbed his chin, "Oh? He Feng is still alive?"

Everyone looked at him speechlessly—this one had a wider heart.

At this time, Ziying and the others came back, "My lord, we saw a suspicious ship at the pier, and the people on board were quite strange, and one of them might be the Blue Demon Crane Peak."

"The boat is at the pier?" Bai Yutang asked, "Is it shipping anything?"

"The boat is quite big, covered with a black cloth, and it seems to be empty now." As she spoke, Ziying took out a few blue-bordered notices from her sleeve and showed them to Zhan Zhao, "It was posted today. Choushi docks move things? I and Zhe Ying are torn up"

"In addition, we also found out that there have been a lot of short-term workers recently." Zhe Ying also said, "It is difficult to recruit workers."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and shook a blue notice on his hand, "Looks like I have something to do tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a few shadow guards shouting, "Tianzun, what's wrong with your hair?!"

Tianzun rested his cheeks and continued to sigh, while the fourth son stroked his hair from behind to comfort him, "It's really pretty."

Everyone nodded.

Tianzun glanced at his black hair, and then Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Tianzun, let's go out and play?"

Tianzun was taken aback, "Play?"

"Now no one knows that you are Heavenly Venerable, so you can play any way you want." Zhan Zhao suggested with a smile.

"Hey, that's a good idea!" Pang Yu was excited, "You can go to a brothel... oops."

Before he finished speaking, Bao Yan kicked him to the ground, and the grand master also made up for it.

Tianzun touched his chin, as if he had thought about it seriously, then he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Seeing that he finally smiled, everyone felt relieved. Zhan Zhao winked at Bai Yutang, which meant—coax him, don't worry.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao dumbfounded, only he and Yin Hou wanted to touch their foreheads when they saw Tianzun's smile - just don't cause any trouble...
