Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Sure enough, some rumors heard by Bao Da successfully angered Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao quickly poured him a cup of tea, and Pang Yu and Bao Yan also opened their eyes wide - good guy!It's rare to see Young Master Bai even swearing!

Xiao Liang slapped the table, "No egg!"

The fourth son nodded, "That's right."

The corners of Pang Yu and Bao Yan's mouths twitched—who did these two children learn this idiom from?

Bao Yan touched the fourth son's head, and said, "It's really nonsense! Let's not talk about whether Bai Yueyun really knows the art of witchcraft, or whether this curse exists. Just talk about practicing... In this world, there is no one who excels in martial arts because of good luck, right? This kind of statement is just an excuse for the loser to make for himself, what a shame!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Pang Yu also gave Bao Yan a thumbs up - well said nerd!

Bao Yan was aggrieved, and seemed even more angry than Bai Yutang.

Everyone looked at each other, Bai Yutang didn't seem to be as angry as before—thinking about it carefully, probably Bao Yan was also called "good luck" since he was a child, and he must have suffered a lot.Because he has a father named Bao Zheng, no matter how well he does, people say he is Bao Zheng's son, and he is a child living in his father's shadow.If he did well, it was because he was lucky; if he did not do well, he would embarrass his father...

Pang Yu poured him tea, and the fourth son also rubbed Bao Yan's chest, telling him not to take it seriously.

Zhan Zhao asked Bao, "Where did this rumor come from? Or when did it come out?"

"Well...it's been a while." Bao asked and rubbed his chin, "It was spread almost when the boss died, and recently it has intensified."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and they understood in their hearts - it is impossible for Lu Xueer and Bai Xia to have never heard of it, and if they don't tell Bai Yutang, they just don't want to make him unhappy.

Zhan Zhao drank his tea, asked the clerk for the Four Treasures of the Study, and put the pen and paper in front of Bao Quqin's eyes.

Bao inquired for a moment, then looked at Zhan Zhao puzzled.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "List all the sects that came here, one for the white way, one for the underworld, and one for the others."

The corner of Bao Inquiry's mouth twitched, "This... the workload is too huge, I want to add more money."

Before Bai Yutang took out the money, Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "I said..."

Seeing Zhan Zhao's expression, Bao Inquired was inexplicably nervous and scratched his head.

"Did you help spread this rumor?" Zhan Zhao asked him.

Bao Inquired opened his mouth, then cupped his hands, "Your money is too difficult to earn, so I don't want to earn it anymore..." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave the house.

But Ziying had already reached the door and blocked it, and Zheying also closed the window.

Bao inquired and looked back at Zhan Zhao, "Hey, Master Zhan, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao glanced at the Four Treasures of the Study on the table, "I'm an official, and I'm here on patrol to investigate the case. You should cooperate with the investigation. Write it down obediently, but write carefully. If there is any mistake, I will punish you in the future sin."

Bao Inquired opened his mouth wide, "I'm from Jianghu..."

"Really?" Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Then answer my question, have you ever spread this rumor?"

"Uh……"

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao in puzzlement, while Bai Yutang lowered his head and continued drinking tea.

Pang Yu had a quick brain, and he understood a little bit, and sneered, "That's right, people from the Jianghu are newcomers, if they hear any gossip, they will probably ask the local bag to ask... So many people believe that this outrageous rumor is true, Saying I've confirmed it with you."

Bao Wenwen's expression changed at this moment, but he couldn't run away.

"Given you a thousand guts, you wouldn't dare to offend Yingxue Palace." Zhan Zhao said, "There is only one reason, people die for money, and birds die for food. Who gave you money, let you be asked about this rumor when people in the Jianghu Time to speak out of conscience?"

Bao Wenwen was completely depressed at this moment, and begged Zhan Zhao for mercy, "Master Zhan, you know everything... I, I was also forced to help..."

"Heh." Bao Yan couldn't help laughing at him, "If you want to blame it, blame you for being greedy for money! If you want to earn double money, you eat the first one and the second one, are you kidding yourself this time?!"

"Who ordered you?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I do not……"

"Ahem." Zhan Zhao pointed to his side, which means - be careful what you say.

Bao inquired and turned his face to look, and saw Xiao Wu squatting beside him, staring at him covetously.

Bao Wenwen's legs were weak, he scratched his head, and said, "The one who... gave me the money was a man in black with a black scarf covering his face. I don't know who he is."

"I'm not very satisfied with this answer." Zhan Zhao took a sip of tea from his cup.

"What's more...I'm not someone to be manipulated by others. There must be a way out in our business, right?" Bao asked honestly, "I have my eyeliner everywhere in this city and the market area. I'm not alone in inquiring about the news... My eyeliner helped me to follow me all the way, the man in black, after leaving my place, went to the Gaosheng Inn in Yanzhou Prefecture, and never came out after entering."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded to Zhan Zhao, indicating that he knew that inn.

"Is there anything else?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"And... more?" Bao asked looking at Zhan Zhao with uncertain eyes.

Zhan Zhao held his chin and smiled at him, "Are you honest? If you are like this, you don't need to be interrogated if you bring it back to Kaifeng Mansion. You will be recruited as soon as the gavel is slapped, let alone handed over to Zhao Jiajun. Here comes the big punishment to serve you."

Bao inquired that Hun'er was almost scared to death, he was nothing more than a greedy little man, thinking about being thrown into Zhao Pu's barracks for torture to extract a confession, good guy—is there still life left?

"Master Zhan..." Bao asked with a sad face, "What do you want to know?"

"If you think what you say can save your own life, just say it." Zhan Zhao peeled off a pine nut and stuffed it into the mouth of the fourth son, "You are not helping me, you are saving yourself, offending Yingxue Palace and the trap. Sky Island is not good for you, is it?"

Bao Tingting thought for a while, and said, "Uh... I know that everyone in the gang highly admires Gan Yue, saying that he is upright, capable, and has excellent martial arts! He can lead the gang out of the predicament, lift the curse, and revive the past. majestic"

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched—the gangster still dared to use the words "integrity of character" when choosing the boss. Do you know what the gangsters do?

"anything else."

"Uh... Gan Yue and Yu Muchi had some conflicts before, and this time Yu Muchi is also here, and they seem to have a personal grievance." Bao Wenting scratched his head and thought hard.

Zhan Zhao nodded while propping his chin—this seems to be useful.

"That's right!" Bao Inquired and thought hard, and then thought of another one, "This time, a group of people who are neither gangsters nor white people came here, they are mysterious, and they are very cautious when they come and go."

"Where do they live?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"In the pagoda tree alley in the southwest of Yanzhou City, it's very secluded." Bao asked, "I don't come out very often."

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bao inquired with a mournful face, "I really can't remember Master Zhan, please spare the little one."

Zhan Zhao tapped lightly on the table.

Bao inquired and obediently wrote three pages.

Zhan Zhao looked at him, stretched out his hand, and took out an ingot of silver from Bai Yutang's arms... Everyone bowed their heads and drank tea silently—it was easy.

Bai Yutang also couldn't laugh or cry, today was indeed thanks to Zhan Zhao's cleverness, he was also confused and didn't notice this... But then again, even if he wasn't confused, he probably wouldn't have imagined that there was such a thing, in some respects, Still, this cat has a lot of eyes.

Zhan Zhao put the silver on the table, then put the Juque on the table, and raised his eyebrows at Bao Wenqu.

Bao inquired and looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Let's make a deal. I won't prevent you from making money on both sides."

When Zhan Zhao spoke, Bao Inquired for a moment.

"The other party gives you money to teach you how to do things. You can take the money, but you have to come and tell us, and then do things according to our instructions." Zhan Zhao said, "We will give you money if we ask you to do things, and you take care of it."

Bao Dating took the money and was very happy.

"It's just..." Zhan Zhao told him not to be too happy, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being, and see if you can make up for it in the future, if you are half-hearted."

"Don't dare dare!" Bao Inquired kept shaking his head, "I still want to mess around!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Then I want you to do things for me now, you try to find out who is in the alley. In addition, the man in black who entered the Gaosheng Inn, even if you don't wear a mask when you come in and out, you don't know." I recognize the appearance, and I always recognize the figure and posture—you should also check it out, and you can probably guess who it is."

"Understood, understood." Bao asked to collect the money, escaped the catastrophe and still had a business, made a false alarm, and ran away quickly.

Bao Yan frowned, "Why are you like this, repeated villain! You are too cheap for him."

Pang Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Oh, forget it, he is just a small person, and sometimes he can only be double-faced in order to save his life. He is too moral to live soon. Just like in the officialdom, there are people who can't afford to offend. , I’m afraid he will lose his black hat in the officialdom, and he might lose his life in the Jianghu. Give him a way to survive, the rumors he has spread before can’t be recovered, try to make up for it.”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—as expected of the grand master's son.

After drinking tea and snacks, I read the detailed list written by Bao Dian.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, almost all the gangsters came...but they were all small sects, and it felt like a mess.

"It's no wonder that the gangsters feel that they have been robbed of their luck." Pang Yu also sighed, "Everyone in Baidao is like a thunderbolt, even I, who is not from the rivers and lakes, have heard of it, but the gangsters are so small. It's a sect, no one has heard of it, and the scale is small... Is it because there are no capable people, or what?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—that's right, in the past 100 years, there hasn't been a famous mafia master.

After leaving Xinghualou, everyone followed the address provided by Lu Xueer and turned into the alley next to them.

Sure enough, there were several interesting shops at the entrance of the alley, and everyone bought a lot of things, and Ziying and Zheying carried their hands full of large and small bags.

Turning at the second corner, everyone quickly walked to the house with a stone monkey at the door... Judging from the size of the door, it looks like a side door?There is no plaque on the door, just a snow pattern, quite fine, it can be seen that the craftsmanship is first-class, and the stone monkey at the door is also full of aura.

The fourth son stared at the stone monkey, "There are stone monkeys guarding the gate? I thought there were only lions and unicorns."

Bao Yan had never seen a stone monkey guarding the gate before, so he was a little puzzled.

Bai Yutang knocked on the door knocker three times.

After a while, I heard footsteps coming from the yard, with a "creak", the door opened, and an old man with white hair stood inside the door, looking out.

Bai Yutang cupped his hands to him, and before he could speak, the old man laughed, "Oh...you are Xue'er's son, right?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "My mother ordered me to fetch something..."

"Oh, it's ready." The old man greeted everyone to enter the house.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged glances, and entered the door with the old man.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone was startled, and saw that the courtyard was full of stone monkeys of various colors, big and small, in different shapes and lifelike, and there were as many as a thousand by visual inspection.

"Wow, so many monkeys." The fourth son and Xiao Liang were both surprised.

"Haha, old man, my surname is Hou, and I belong to the monkey family. When I was young, I used to play monkeys, so I like monkeys the most." The old man walked into a hut and took out a mahogany box about a foot long. It's square, and it's not too big, and it's placed in front of Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, "That's why people in Jianghu call him the old stone monkey."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were staring at the box in a daze, wondering what was inside, but when they heard the word "Old Stone Monkey", they looked up at him in surprise.

Bao Yan also asked, "Are you..."

"The number one stone carving master in the world, Old Stone Monkey?" Pang Yu jumped up, "Ah! You carved my father's Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Shoushan Stone. You have been queuing for ten years... so beautiful that my father asks for it every night. Take a closer look, you won’t be able to sleep if you don’t look at it.”

"Haha... so it's the young master." The old man cupped his hands at Pang Yu, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Bai Yutang was a little curious, "Senior, what's in the box my mother asked me to take?"

"Oh, your mother has known me since she was a child. She was so cute when she was a child. She was like a little devil. I know your grandfather well." The old man made tea for everyone, and took out a blueprint for Bai Yutang to see.

Bai Yutang took it, and saw that the blueprint was quite old, and it contained jade carvings of the twelve zodiac signs.

"I've seen this picture before." Bai Yutang remembered, "This set of jade wares is a family heirloom in my family, but it was crushed by the falling beams during an earthquake."

"That's right." The old man stretched out his hand, gently opened the lid of the box, and said with a smile, "When Xue'er brought it to me, it was just a pile of broken jade slag... It took me several years to put it back together."

Bai Yutang reached out and took one out, and pointed it at the light—it was crystal clear, with no cracks visible at all.

"Wow!" Pang Yu was shocked, "Master, are you bluffing? Can broken jade be restored?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled complacently, "Of course I have a solution, old man."

Bai Yutang put the jade carvings back carefully, put the lid back on, and said to Zhan Zhao, "It is said that this set of stone jade babies was carved for my father by my grandfather himself. When I was a child, my father carved one when he was one year older. His hands are very rough. It was carved very carefully, and it was destroyed by an earthquake a few years ago, and my father was unhappy for a long time."

Zhan Zhao and the others nodded——Lu Xueer's gift is really thoughtful.

"Your mother sent the jade to me when it was just minced." The old man smiled, "Because I said that a grain of jade slag should not be missing, so she dug up several carts of soil and filtered it bit by bit with gauze. But all the crumbs are there."

Bai Yutang thanked the old man, paid double the wages, wrapped the box with a piece of silk, and everyone returned to the Snow Palace together.

Seeing that Bai Yutang seemed to have forgotten the unhappy thing just now, Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief—however, according to the clues provided by Bao Inquiry... In the century-old Yunkai Peak, a bloody storm is inevitable , Infighting.
