Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao turned his head, and saw Bai Yutang standing behind him with his hands behind his back, without a knife, and in white casual clothes, followed by a fair and clever round-faced little girl, holding a Basket, looking at Zhan Zhao curiously.

Zhan Zhao felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and scratched his head.

Fortunately, at this time, the little four flew out from behind the window, "Baibai!"

Xiao Si was short and chubby, and was originally top-heavy. This time he charged so hard that he fell out of the car window.

Zhan Zhao quickly reached out and grabbed his clothes.

At the same time, he saw the chubby round-faced Panzi girl behind Bai Yutang has come to catch the fourth son.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and secretly praised - this girl is so fast.

After looking up and down, this girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can she have such high internal strength?

The fourth son was startled, looked up, and saw a chubby girl next to him, so lucky!

The girl looked at him for a while, then put her arms around her face, "It's so cute!"

The fourth son was really embarrassed by being rubbed, but this elder sister was chubby and soft.

Gongsun and others all came out to say hello to Bai Yutang, Master Bao and Pang Ji did not get out of the car, but nodded to Bai Yutang, anyway, everyone was familiar with each other.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang curiously, "How did you know we would come?"

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed to the long patrol team in front of him and the crowd of onlookers, "The news has already passed."

Bao Zheng nodded and told everyone to go to the Yamen.

Zhao Pu didn't want to go to the yamen, he came to hang out anyway, so Ouyang asked Bai Yutang, "Is there any good inn introduction?"

Before Bai Yutang could speak, the little girl said, "What are you doing staying at the inn? Naturally, the young master's guests are staying at home."

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback, "Isn't your home on an empty island?"

"The young master has houses in many places." The little girl smiled, and while returning the fourth son who had been lying around for a long time to Zhan Zhao, she said to Bai Yutang, "I'll go prepare the guest room."

Bai Yutang nodded, and the little girl ran away without a trace.

Zhan Zhao wondered, "Kungfu is good enough."

Bai Yutang smiled, "Her name is Chen Xing'er, and Yue Ya'er, both are my mother's apprentices, they are very capable and can help, so I brought them here."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao understood in his heart that Bai Yutang's mother is the master of Yingxue Palace, a generation of heroines!But she got married very early and retired, and people in the world don't know much about her.

At this time, Zhao Pu and Gongsun had already got off the car.

Bao Zheng signaled to Zhan Zhao not to follow him, but to go to another courtyard with Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang said to Bao Zheng, "Your Excellency, you can stay with me for a while, the yamen may not be able to accommodate you."

Bao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, the Xizhou mansion is so big, doesn't it mean that the magistrate's yamen doesn't have many guest rooms?

Bai Yutang smiled helplessly, and didn't say much, just said, "You'll know after a while." Then, he pointed to the far east, and said to Bao Zheng, "I live in the nearby Lion Grove, Baifu. "

Bao Zheng still nodded, feeling a little puzzled, is the yamen so small?

Zhan Zhao seemed a little hesitant, so he asked Bai Yutang, "You come back to resolve the disputes of the Tianshan faction, and we are here to investigate the case. If you live with you, will the Tianshan faction think that you have brought people from the government to solve internal affairs? "

Bai Yutang shook his head, "Lu Feng reported to the government on the first day when the homicide case happened, and it was originally the government's investigation. The combined speed of all the government officials in the prefect's yamen here may not be able to beat the dead Yue Chengxi, so I asked Mr. Bao, who is on patrol, is here, what's the problem?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "That's true, but there are so many people in Jianghu, it's inevitable that they will talk about you."

Bai Yutang smiled, "They'll tell you whether you live or not, just let them go." After speaking, he turned his head to everyone and signaled—let's go.

Zhan Zhao is also an open-minded person, just worried for Bai Yutang... But since he doesn't care, it means he doesn't care.

The happiest thing was the fourth son, who was carried by Zhe Ying on his shoulders, looking around, this Xizhou Mansion is much more lively than Daofu Town, and they came across Bai Yutang so soon after they came out, everyone can be in the same place again We are together.

Bai Yutang led Zhan Zhao and others all the way to the suburbs, and saw a quiet bamboo forest. This bamboo forest was different from ordinary bamboos. The bamboo poles and leaves were golden yellow.

"Wow..." Xiao Sizi was amazed when he saw this color of bamboo for the first time.

"Is this lion bamboo?" Gongsun reached out to touch a piece of bamboo leaf.

Bai Yutang nodded.

Zhao Pu wondered, "What is Lion Bamboo?"

"Lion bamboo is actually an ordinary bamboo, but due to the soil and water source where the bamboo is located, the bamboo leaves and bamboo poles will appear golden yellow. Moreover, the bamboo leaves are lush and often grow into clumps." Gongsun Boxue began to drop his book bags again, "Back then There is also such a bamboo in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, but it has not been named until one day, when the Persian envoy sent two mighty lions, the king of Tang thought of the clusters of bamboo leaves when he saw it, so he named this bamboo It's called Lion Bamboo."

Everyone nodded, "Oh...that's how it is!"

Bai Yutang walked along a small path paved with white stone slabs in the bamboo forest. Everyone walked along the way, admiring the beautiful scenery of the bamboo forest.

There seemed to be many birds living in this bamboo forest, and they could hear crisp chirping.

Hei Ying walked at the end, and when he heard the call, he suddenly pouted and imitated all kinds of bird calls to tease the birds... When he called out like this, the birds in the whole forest seemed to wake up, and they responded one after another. The birds chirping here are one after another, full of vitality.

The fourth son clapped his hands, "It sounds good."

Hei Ying stretched out his hand, and called out a few times, and saw a long-tailed bird with a blue and yellow belly fly out and land on his finger.The bird took two steps left and right, then stood still, raised one foot, and lowered its head to peck its toes with its beak.

Seeing the twinkling eyes of the fourth son, Hei Ying said, "Do you want to touch it?"

The fourth son was nervous, "Are you going to run away?"

"will not."

The fourth son reached out and touched the bird's head.

The bird didn't seem to care at all.

The fourth son touched it several times and clapped his hands happily.

"Either?" Hei Ying asked the fourth son, "Make a bird cage and raise it?"

The fourth son kept shaking his head, letting Heiying let him go.

The black shadow smiled slightly, raised his hand... the bird fluttered its wings and flew away.

At this time, everyone has seen a big house in the distance.

The house is quite big, but it looks quite simple, not that luxurious style.

In front of the door, there are two stone gatekeepers with strange shapes, and a plaque above the door reads "Baifu".

Gongsun rubbed his chin to look at the two stone beasts in front of the door, and scratched his head, "What kind of beast is this? It doesn't look like a stone lion or a Pixiu."

Bai Yutang shrugged slightly, "I had this house when I bought it, and it's pretty, so I haven't moved it away."

While talking, someone came to open the door.

The one who ran out to open the door was a housekeeper in his thirties, very gentle and capable, wearing a white coat, with a few servants behind him.

"Master, you're back." He said, and politely bowed to everyone, "I'm the housekeeper, Bai Fu."

Everyone nodded in return.

Bai Fu invites everyone inside, takes them to set up a salute, and recognizes the guest room. He is a very decent housekeeper. He doesn't talk much and is not indifferent. He is a smart person as soon as he gets along with him.

After putting down the things, the fourth son couldn't wait to appreciate the house.

Gongsun was very puzzled, this is an ancient house, and the architectural style of the house is Tang style, although it is simple, it reveals a sense of luxury.And the furniture is all made of cork... Bai Yutang has enough money, this house must be expensive, and it's very low-key expensive.

The yard is very quiet, with a few quaint stone tables and benches, it is very comfortable.

Zhan Zhao sat down on a stone stool, and asked Bai Yutang, "Is Tianzun in the Tianshan School?"

Bai Yutang smiled slightly, "Want to see him?"

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin, "A little bit."

"He went to Yunnan to meet his old friends for a drink. I don't know when he will come back." Bai Yutang thought for a while, "You really want to see him. Next time I take him to Kaifeng, you can meet by chance."

Zhan Zhao made Bai Yutang laugh, although outsiders may see this sentence as not funny at all, I really don't know what is the point of the smiles of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's understanding... It's a secret that only the two of them understand what?

Ouyang raised his eyebrows at Zhao Pu—see, you can only have a secret after a few days of acquaintance.

Zhao Pu yawned. He didn't really care about the secrets between Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. What he was more interested in was the unicorn that can eat people. How mighty in battle.

……

Let's talk about Bao Zheng and Pang Ji.

Following the mighty patrol team, they arrived at the gate of the Yamen.

Bao Zheng lifted the curtain of the car to look, and was stunned. The yamen is quite big, although it is not particularly rich, but this space is enough to accommodate them.

Pang Ji didn't seem to understand very well either.

When everyone got out of the car, they saw the prefect of Xizhou eagerly welcoming them out.

When Bao Zheng and Pang Ji saw the prefect of Xizhou, they were stunned. Good guy... How old is this old man?Why does it look bigger than both of them combined?

I saw that the magistrate of Xizhou was so skinny that he was covered with bones and skin. He was old... with white hair all over his head.His suit is estimated to be the smallest size, but the clothes are still dangling... like a sack on a bamboo pole.Grand Master Pang subconsciously looked at his belly, inhaled, and tightened his stomach...

"Official, please...see Mr. Bao, Pang... Grand Master Pang!"

Don't get me wrong, it's not that the magistrate is stuttering, but that he ran a little bit harder just now, and he was a little out of breath.

Taishi Pang counted three steps behind him... Could this old man die suddenly out of breath?

Mr. Bao thought for a while. When he went out, he brought the rosters of local officials in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties. According to previous observations, the magistrate of Xizhou should be called Mao Dingsheng. He seems to be 79 years old this year, and he seems to be the oldest among the officials in office.

"Lord Mao, you don't need to be too polite." Bao Zheng looked at the five hundred yamen servants and generals behind him, and asked the magistrate, "Is there a place for my subordinates?"

"Uh..." Mao Dingsheng suddenly started to slap himself, "It's all because the lower officials are not good at doing things, the lower officials..."

Bao Zheng hurriedly stopped him, thinking, good guy, these fingers are thinner than chopsticks, and the neck is not as thick as Xiao Sizi's arms, don't twitch twice in a while and even lose his head.

"Bao... Master Bao, Grand Master." The magistrate asked tremblingly, "My lords, do you mind staying at the inn?"

Bao Zheng and Pang Ji were taken aback for a moment—it really made Bai Yutang think right, can't the county government accommodate them?

Pang Ji tugged at Bao Zheng and winked at him—you see, this spear is so old, maybe four generations, maybe five generations, right?And look at his hypocrisy!I must have indulged in pleasure when I was young, maybe there were more than a dozen wives, and now there are one or two hundred people in the family, and I will not be able to live there!

Bao Zheng gave him a supercilious look, then turned around and asked Mao Dingsheng, "Why can't you stay?"

"Uh..." Mao Dingsheng hesitated to speak, making Bao Zheng somewhat suspicious.

A teacher next to Mao Dingsheng couldn't help but answered for him, "Reporting to Mr. Bao, the village next door had an earthquake before, and the houses collapsed. More than 200 villagers have no place to live. It will take a while to build houses, so they are temporarily living in the Yamen. In addition, the master likes to take in some vagrants on weekdays, the yamen has long been full."

"Oh?" Bao Zheng heard that it was quite new, and he went into the yamen curiously and took a look - he found that the whole yamen was like a vegetable market, full of people, adults and children as well as chickens, ducks, cats and dogs...

Bao Zheng and Pang Ji withdrew silently... it's better to live with Bai Yutang.

Bao Zheng remembered that the roster of officials contained a general description of the character and governance of each official.The reason why Mao Dingsheng has been able to serve as the prefect of Xizhou Prefecture for so long is because the local people love him very much. It seems that he is a famous parent official who loves the people like a son or something. All his money is used to help Xizhou Prefecture who is in trouble The common people, the emperor praised him once before.

Moreover, because there is such a big sect as the Tianshan Sect in the Xizhou Mansion, the basic security and order are maintained by the Tianshan Sect, and there are no other sects who come here to make troubles. It seems that Mao Dingsheng and the head of the Tianshan Sect Lu Feng has a very good relationship.

Bao Zheng had a good impression of this kind-hearted old magistrate, so he said, "It's okay, we can stay at a friend's house."

The prefect was quite curious, "Which friend?"

Bao Zheng said, "I live in the White Mansion."

"Oh!" Mao Dingsheng laughed, "Fifth Bai! Good man! Good man! He donates a lot of money to Xizhou Mansion every year. He opened many porridge shops, medicine halls and studies. The young man is very handsome. Good, and polite!"

Bao Zheng and Pang Ji looked at each other. Bai Yutang is really a strange existence. According to rumors, it is a jade-faced arhat. The magistrate said that he is a jade-faced Bodhisattva.

Bao Zheng inquired about the case of the deceased sent by Tianshan.

Mao Dingsheng sighed, "Lord Bao, you also know who are the people in the Tianshan faction, it's not that the lower officials don't want to investigate, it's really powerless."

After that, Bao Zheng inquired about the case of Qilin eating people in Bishuitan.

Regarding this case, the old magistrate seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this Bishuitan, old dead man, let's talk about Qilin. Many people said that they have seen it, but I have brought people to guard it for more than half a month. I saw one, and this time there was a floating corpse, and the officials still have no clue."

Bao Zheng asked the old man to take the dossier from the yamen and he took it back to study, and together with Pang Ji, they rushed to Bai Yutang's house with hundreds of people.

……

In the courtyard of Baifu.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Is there any clue to the case?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, "I just arrived, and I have an appointment with Lu Feng for tea in a while, you can ask, as for Yan Lin and Xu Fei, they don't know how they died."

"That's right." When Zhan Zhao was reminded by him, he remembered something, "Is there really a unicorn in the clear water pool?"

Bai Yutang was taken aback by what he said, and then laughed, "There have always been legends, but I haven't seen them anyway."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Because the bodies of Yan Lin and Xu Fei were found in the clear water pool, I asked Yue Feng to go to the forest near the clear water pool to have a look. If you are curious, go together?"

Zhan Zhao raised the corners of his mouth, "Okay."

……

As soon as Zhan Zhao agreed, the fourth son immediately raised his hand, "I'll go too!"

Gongsun also raised his hand, "I'll go too."

Looking behind Zhao Pu, Ouyang and the three shadow guards said in unison, "We will go too!"

Bao Zheng and Pang Ji, who came in from outside the door, heard it and nodded to express their interest, "Let's go together."

Bai Yutang is also a little helpless, is there something wrong, he has been acting alone all the time, it's okay to have multiple exhibitions, why there are so many more?Still dragging the family with the old and the young...

"That's right." Zhao Pu leaned over and asked Bai Yutang, "Do you have a bigger fishing net?"

Bai Yutang looked at him nonchalantly, "What?"

"Fishing net!" Zhao Pu raised his brows excitedly, "Let's go see if we can catch the unicorn in the afternoon!"

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Zhao Pu, "What are you doing here?"

"Nurture it!" Zhao Pu replied confidently.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other silently, and the fourth son was very supportive of Zhao Pu, "Nurture!"

Zhao Pu nodded and met his palms.

Everyone is looking at Gongsun—whose family child is this, do you care? !

Unexpectedly, Gongsun's eyes were shining at this time, and he muttered in a low voice, "I heard that the scales of unicorns are the most valuable medicinal materials!"

Everyone looks up to the sky... there is no hope!

In the morning, the accompanying yamen servants and soldiers were also arranged.

The White Mansion is spacious and clean, and the maids and servants can also handle affairs, Bao Zheng is very satisfied.

After lunch, the sun was high and the weather was still a little hot.

Zhe Ying hugged the fourth son, Zi Ying held a big lotus leaf to shield him from the sun, and the group walked to the foot of Bishui Mountain.

Looking up, you can see the towering Bishui Mountain. The top part of the whole mountain is covered with snow, and the clouds are also thick, which feels a little ethereal.This small Tianshan is so imposing, what about the big Tianshan?Everyone is fascinated.

Below the top of the mountain, it is covered with lush green trees. In the emerald green, you can see a large group of yellow apricot trees and red maple trees, which are well decorated. There are also many silver dragon-like waterfalls running along the mountain. Next... a fairyland-like spectacle.

"The Tianshan School is really beautiful." Gongsun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Over there is the Clear Water Pool." Bai Yutang pointed to the area where the red leaves were the most luxuriant. You can vaguely see a number of waterfalls surrounded by a half-moon shape, and the bottom should be the Clear Water Pool.

"Go from the side, there is a shortcut." Although Bai Yutang didn't appear in Tianshan faction very often, he knew the way very well, so he led everyone up the mountain.

Before reaching halfway up the mountain, I saw someone coming down from the mountain. They were two men, less than 30 years old. One was wearing a black sleeveless blouse and a black brocade robe. Eight-treasure belt, carrying a long knife on his back.

The two came down in a hurry, and seemed quite surprised to see someone coming up, but when they saw Bai Yutang walking ahead, they were both stunned.

Bai Yutang led Zhan Zhao and the others up the stairs without stopping.

When they got close, the two of them bowed their hands to Bai Yutang slightly, with such a little emotion in the hand, it seemed that they were unwilling and unwilling, and it seemed that there was nothing to do, Zhan Zhao was imagining - who is it?

"Master Uncle."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched—it was a reluctance. Although these two people were young, they looked much more vicissitudes than Bai Yutang. It was already awkward enough to call someone younger than him an uncle, but they still appeared A master uncle.

Everyone silently glanced at Bai Yutang - the seniority of your sect is really messed up.

Bai Yutang didn't seem to be very familiar with them, so he nodded and continued to lead the crowd up, looking very indifferent.

But the two Tianshan sect disciples seemed to get used to it and continued to descend the mountain.

When the people left, Zhan Zhao asked, "From the Tianshan sect?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Probably so."

"You don't know?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"It should be one of the top ten masters." Bai Yutang rubbed his chin, "I seem to have seen it before."

Everyone's eyes widened -- didn't they?Apart from the head of the Tianshan School, there are top ten masters in the row, and Bai Yutang doesn't even know him.

Seeing everyone's contemptuous gazes, Bai Yutang felt quite helpless, "They all look similar, how can I remember?"

Everyone's hearts twitched again, the two people with very different looks just now are almost the same!

Zhan Zhao squinted at Bai Yutang's eyes, thinking that there must be some kind of eye disease in these beautiful eyes, right?Can't see clearly?

Seeing Zhan Zhao looking at him suspiciously, Bai Yutang muttered to himself, they all look alike, you think everyone is as easy to remember as you.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, Bai Yutang seemed to be slandering something just now.

Bai Yutang retracted his thoughts and was a little puzzled—the steps in this place lead to the back mountain, which is a detour to Bishuitan. Why did these two people walk from the back mountain?Could it be that he also went to Bishuitan?
