Dragon Pattern Roll Set

At this point in Bao Zheng's story, everyone who was listening was in a daze.

After a long time, Bao Yan asked, "Father."

"Huh?" Bao Zheng looked at him holding a teacup.

"Have you ever doubted it?" Bao Yan coughed and asked in a low voice, "That classmate of yours went in by himself, and then ran out through the back door wearing a ghost mask?"

After hearing this, Bao Zheng smiled and sighed.

Everyone looked at him in puzzlement.

Master Bao took a sip of tea from his teacup, and said slowly, "I don't doubt it."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all looking at Bao Zheng, what does that mean—why?

"The man's surname is Qu, and his name is Qu Zhongyuan."

Master Bao's words came out, and Bao Yan exclaimed, "The great talent Qu Zhongyuan?!"

Zhan Zhao and the others seem to have heard of this name before.

"Brother Qu and I grew up together." Master Bao explained, "He grew up with me, and he is closer than a brother. This man is kind-hearted and will not do things that hurt the world, of course...except for others In addition to the product identification, the government has other evidence."

Everyone looked at Bao Zheng, as if asking - what evidence.

"I heard people say that Qu Zhongyuan is lame." At this moment, Bao Yan said.

Lord Bao nodded, "Brother Qu broke his leg when he was young, and he still has a limp after healed, so he is called a lame genius. But he went in with a limp, and the ghost-masked man who came out was not only completely different in stature from him, but also had light steps. Brother Qu himself doesn't know martial arts, but the one that came out...if it was a ghost, then he flew away. If it wasn't a ghost, then he flew away by using lightness kung fu."

"Then, dad, didn't you go in and have a look?" Bao Yan wondered.

"Of course I went in, but..."

Before Master Bao finished speaking, he heard a voice outside the door continue his words, "But your father, Wen Qu Xing, has too much yang energy when he goes down to earth, not to mention the Yin and Yang House, even the Palace of the King of Hell. The mansion is gone. I went in and out of the north gate together with him, but unfortunately we didn’t see anything.”

Everyone turned their heads and saw outside the door, the Eighth Prince walked in wearing a white robe.

Everyone watched the eight virtuous king enter the door, and once again sighed with emotion - the handsome and virtuous king... he really looks more and more handsome.

Yue Ya'er, who was pouring tea for Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, shook her hand, while Chen Xing'er quickly took the teapot, and patted her on the back, "Hold on!"

Only Uncle Aimi's crescent moon is clutching his chest at the moment—too handsome to have no friends!

Except for the nympho Yue Ya'er, everyone quickly came to their senses, recalled the Eighth Prince's words, Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Eighth Prince, did you go in with Mr. Bao?"

The Eighth Prince nodded, "When I was studying in Taixue, I was also a classmate with Bao Xiang."

Everyone subconsciously glanced at Mr. Bao, he was so dark... Then he glanced at the Eighth Prince, his face was like a crown jade...

Master Bao was embarrassed, "Ahem."

Everyone picked up their teacups silently, the so-called one white cover three ugliness!In fact, Mr. Bao is quite handsome, even with this skin color, no matter how handsome he is, he can't see clearly.But whether he is handsome or not depends on who he compares with, at least Master Bao is much more handsome when he is standing with Grand Master Pang.

The Eighth Prince entered the yard, sat down, looked around, seemed a little disappointed, "Isn't the fourth son here? This king still wants to come and play with him."

Everyone touched their chins silently again——as expected, the popularity of the fourth son cannot be underestimated!

"My lord, Qu Zhongyuan didn't show up later, but a series of crimes by the ghost masked man happened. What exactly did the ghost mask do?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Kill." Master Bao replied.

"Who did you kill?"

"Well, there are three relatives of the emperor, and seven high-ranking officials above the fourth rank, including generals. There are about a dozen merchants and wealthy households, and dozens of ordinary people. There are also many who were attacked and survived. Hundreds of them... In short, in that year, there were ghost-faced men haunting Kaifeng almost all the year." Master Bao recalled.

"No one can catch him?!" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"The first emperor ordered all the governors of the Kaifeng government and the soldiers and horses of the imperial city to be dispatched, and turned the entire Kaifeng government upside down, but found nothing. However, there were cases of ghost-faced men attacking maids and eunuchs in the palace. All the guards are on standby." Mr. Bao said, "Until Qu Zhongyuan disappeared for a full year...the ghost-masked man suddenly disappeared. Since then, peace has been restored in the dynasty, and...no one has seen the ghost-masked man again."

"Times have changed." The Eighth Prince said, "The young people in Kaifeng basically don't know about the ghost-masked man. And because they are afraid that some young people will play around with the Yin-Yang Palace and release the ghost-masked man to cause trouble, so the old people don't know about it. Tell your descendants how to play Yin Yang Temple. Taixue strictly prohibits playing all kinds of similar games, otherwise you will be expelled. So all these years have been peaceful."

Speaking of it.

Bai Yutang asked, "You mean, now someone played Yin Yang Palace again, and then the ghost-masked man appeared again?"

"Exactly!" Master Bao nodded, and then looked at the Eighth Prince who was drinking tea.

The prince looked outside the door and said, "Duo Luo, bring them in."

After a while, Doro came in with three students wearing the uniform robes of Taixue.

All three of them lowered their heads, and they were about seventeen or eighteen years old. They entered the door to salute the Eighth Prince and Lord Bao, and after finishing the salute, they stood obediently aside with their hands down.

The three students are two boys and one girl.

Taixue now allows girls to enter the school, the threshold is the same as that of boys, even if they are from a famous family, they need to have real talents.Girls have their own Huilan Academy, and they attend classes separately from boys, and the content of their studies is also different.

The student robes of Taixue are the same for men and women. They are all white robes with silver dark flowers, plus a gray sandweave outer robe, with a black belt around the waist, embellished with topaz, and a light gray black gauze student hat on the head.Everyone in Kaifeng knows this set of student robes, which is the symbol of Taixue students.

Bao Zheng also teaches at Taixue on weekdays. After all, he is a bachelor of Longtuge University, and he has the final say on many things in Taixue.The three students saluted Mr. Bao honestly, "Master."

Not only did Bao Zheng know these three students, Zhan Zhao also knew them, and they were all descendants of famous families.

The only girl was Zhao Lan, with beautiful features and a petite figure, she looked a bit delicate, no wonder, she was the niece of the Eighth Prince, the cousin of Zhao Zhen, and the youngest princess of the Zhao family.Zhao Lan may not look like a royal family, but she has outstanding literary talents and is a famous female talent in Kaifeng. She and Concubine Pang are very close, and they have similar temperaments. She is very delicate and savage, but she is very righteous.

And the two boys also have a lot of background.

One is tall and thin, gentle and fair-skinned, and somewhat bookish.This person is Wang Qi, the grandson of Prime Minister Wang.

Wang Qi is knowledgeable, well-written, honest and gentle, and is very much loved by the prime minister.Mr. Bao's evaluation of him is that this son has a pure character, an upright temper, and a kind heart.

Another guy with a moderate build, good kung fu, wheat-colored skin, a baby face and big eyes is called Ouyang Chunhua.

Everyone felt familiar with this person at first sight, because he was Ouyang Shaozheng's nephew.Ouyang is also the son-in-law of his sister Ouyang Qin, who is also the descendant of the general family. His sister Ouyang Qinxin recruited her son-in-law, so this son's surname is Ouyang just like his grandson, and he is the heart of old man Ouyang.

Ouyang Chunhua's personality is somewhat similar to Ouyang Shaozheng's. Doesn't his nephew not come out of his uncle's house?

Zou Liang saw Ouyang Chunhua walking awkwardly, as if his butt was hurting, and knew that he must have been beaten, so he asked, "What trouble did you get into? The old man is willing to beat you?"

As soon as Chunhua saw Zou Liang, he flattened his lips, "Fourth uncle."

Everyone was curious...why do you call Zou Liang the fourth uncle?

In fact, it's all Ouyang's fault. Zhao Pu and his four lieutenants are brothers. If they are ranked in order of age, He Yihang is the oldest, Long Qiaoguang is the second, Ouyang Shaozheng is the same age as Zhao Pu, and Zou Liang is the youngest.So Chunhua called out together, He Yihang was the eldest uncle, Long Qiaoguang was the second uncle, Ouyang Shaozheng was the uncle, Zhao Pu was the third uncle, and Zou Liang was the fourth uncle.

Chunhua leaned over to act coquettishly with Zou Liang, "I've been lying on the bed for several days, and my butt hurts."

Everyone was surprised.

The Eighth Prince was surprised, "Your grandfather beat you, it was a disaster without reason, and it's actually not your fault."

Chunhua felt aggrieved and touched his buttocks, "It's Big Ten, I just got out of bed."

The Eighth Prince and Bao Zheng looked at each other, and the old man was able to deal with it. No wonder that although the Ouyang family's children are all devil kings, the rules are still strict.

Wang Qi and Zhao Lan also sighed. Judging by their expressions, they must have been punished.

"Let's talk." Seeing that Zhan Zhao and the others were at a loss, Master Bao asked the three of them to explain what happened.

So, the three of them started talking about you and me.

It turned out that it happened half a month ago.

Wang Qi, Zhao Lan, and Chunhua are good friends who have played together since they were young, and they have been studying together in Taixue for less than half a year.

In Taixue, they met another good friend, that man is Shi Ye, who is a great talent in the south of the Yangtze River.

Shi Ye is talented in literature, well-read and well-informed, this group of royal family and nobles who never leave the Kaifeng Mansion all year round like to hear him talk about the market.

Thus, Shi Ye and the three became irreversible.

On this day, Shi Ye received a letter from his hometown, after which he hid in his room and cried, got drunk and prepared to hang himself.

The three stopped him, and Chunhua read the letter, only to find out that Shi Ye's childhood sweetheart, the cousin who was married when he returned home after finishing his studies in Taixue, suddenly fell ill and passed away.

Shi Ye was in pain, so the three had no choice but to try to persuade them.

Shi Ye has been in a state of chaos since then, and the three of them are very worried about him.But after a few days, Shi Ye suddenly returned to normal. He didn't look for life or drink any more, but ran to the library after class.

Later, Wang Qi followed him quietly and found that he was studying Feng Shui.

The three of them didn't know why Shi Ye was suddenly interested in Feng Shui, but they didn't think much about it, and thought it wasn't a bad thing, as long as they cheered up.

One day, Chunhua passed by the door of Shi Ye's room, and heard him humming a ballad, singing something like "Yin and Yang house, the gate of ghosts..." or something like that.

Chunhua felt weird, but he didn't take it to heart.

A few days later, Chunhua, Wang Qi, and Zhao Lan participated in a Dharma meeting held by the Queen Mother. All eminent monks and masters from all walks of life came to talk about Buddhist scriptures, and Master Wuchan, the abbot of Qingyuan Temple, also came.

Chunhua and the three of them asked Master Wuchan how to heal a person who was overly sad, so they talked about Shiye.

As he talked, Chunhua also talked about the ballad he heard that day, and also said that Shi Ye sent his love to Feng Shui.

Master Wuchan frowned at that moment, and told the three of them that Shi Ye might want to use the method of the Yinyang Palace to find his cousin, and this was going to be a joke, so stop him quickly.

So Zhao Lan asked the Eighth Prince about the Yinyang Palace, and the Eighth Prince told the three of them what happened with Bao Zheng back then, and the three children were also hairy, so they rushed back to Taixue to stop Shi Ye.

But when he arrived at Taixue, Shi Ye was not there, and there was a map spread out on the table. There was a place circled with cinnabar on the map, which seemed to be a house.It was a map of a house in the suburbs of Kaifeng Prefecture, and there were gossip, turntables, and many Fengshui books on the table.

Zhao Lan asked the guards to find a Feng Shui master.The feng shui master looked at the house marked on the map and said, "This is the place where yin and yang feng shui converge!"

Zhao Lan waited overnight and rushed there... just in time to see Shi Ye finished singing, pushed open the south gate of a big house and ran in.

While the three were dumbfounded, they saw the north gate suddenly open, and a man in a white robe and a ghost mask rushed out.

Several guards hurriedly stopped the three young masters and ladies behind him, but the ghost-masked man just gave a strange laugh, and disappeared into the alley with a flash of his figure. It can be seen that his martial arts are very high, and his figure Definitely not Stone Leaf.In addition, the three knew that Shi Ye did not know martial arts.

After waiting for a while, Shi Ye did not come out again.

The three of them wanted to enter the house to look for Shi Ye, but a group of guards refused to let them in.

The clever guards ran to the palace for help, and the Eighth Prince personally ran over with Doro and a hundred elite soldiers.

It's just that when everyone pushed open the south gate and entered the mansion, they saw a courtyard full of people.

The owner who originally lived in the house was surprised to be ransacked by the government.After detailed questioning, the owner of that house was named Wei.

Member Wei Wei has a clean family background and is in the timber business. There are more than a dozen members of his family who have lived in this house for decades. They don't know where their house is located. They have never heard of it. .Then I asked if I had seen a scholar from Taixue come in. The whole family was a little dumbfounded. The generals said that they had been busy in the yard, but they didn't see anyone open the door and come in.

Hearing Zhao Lan and the others say that they saw a ghost face and ran out, what kind of Yin and Yang Palace, they scared Wei Yuanwai himself enough, and moved out with the whole family overnight.

The Eighth King happened to ask Doro to search the entire mansion with people, and finally even the walls and courtyard walls were removed to look, and the stone leaves were not found after three feet of digging.

In order to avoid disturbing the people of Kaifeng by spreading rumors, the Eight Kings did not let anyone speak out, but secretly investigated.

But... A few days ago, when a watchman passed by the gate of a mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture, he heard screams coming from inside.Then, as soon as the gate opened, a ghost-masked man with blood all over his face ran out, got into an alley beside him, and disappeared.

The watchman was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he bravely ran in to have a look, and saw several corpses lying here and there in the mansion, and one of the family members who did not die told him - there is a ghost!A ghost-faced man killed the lord and lady...

After the watchman reported to the official, Ba Wang, who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Kaifeng Mansion, brought people to the scene, only to find out that the ghost-masked man had killed Qiao Xin, the supervisor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Mrs. Qiao and his wife died in the bedroom. The teenage daughter fainted from fright. Several servants in the family died. The old lady knew that her son and daughter-in-law died at the same time. The next orphan.

This matter shocked the government and the public, and Zhao Zhen learned about the old story of the ghost-masked man in the Yin-Yang Palace from the mouth of the Eighth Prince, so he hurriedly recruited Bao Zheng to return to Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the case.According to the previous rules, if the ghost-faced man could not be caught in time, Kaifeng Mansion would have no peace for a year.And once the news of this matter leaks out, people will be panicked at that time, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

Although Chun Hua, Wang Qi and Zhao Lan tried their best, they couldn't stop Shi Ye from playing with fire.Therefore, the three of them blamed themselves for the fact that Qiao's family was almost wiped out!After all, if they had been more alert when they saw Shi Ye studying Feng Shui, or heard him sing that strange song, maybe this tragedy would not have happened.

Even though the three of them are usually pampered at home, the discipline is also very strict, so all three of them were punished.Especially Chunhua, after closing the door, he was directly hit by the board, and lay on the bed for several days before he could get off the ground.

After listening to the narration of the three of them, everyone roughly understood the whole process and the seriousness of the matter.

The Eighth Prince asked Bao Zheng, "Bao Xiang, where do you plan to start this case?"

Master Bao looked at Zhan Zhao, "Guard Zhan thinks, where should we start?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then said, "We have to see whether you believe it or not."

Everyone was stunned.

Master Bao stroked his beard, "What do you mean by that?"

"If you believe the theory of the Yin-Yang Temple, then you don't need to investigate, just ask the ghost exorcist." Zhan Zhao said, "If you don't believe the Yin-Yang Temple, it means that the man with the ghost mask is a person in disguise, so we need to investigate. "

Everyone looked at each other.

On the side, Chunhua rubbed his sore buttocks with one hand, raised his other hand and said, "I don't believe it!"

Wang Qi and Zhao Lan also shook their heads, "We don't believe it either."

"Oh?" The Eighth Prince asked very interestedly, "You don't believe what you saw with your own eyes?"

"I don't believe it!" The three nodded.

"Why don't you believe it?" Bao Zheng asked curiously.

"Anyway, I don't believe it!" The three of them said firmly.

Master Bao smiled, nodded, and asked, "Then let's investigate it as a human being. Where can we do it?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang said, "Shi Ye was looking for death and life at first, but then he suddenly got better. It should be because he knew about Yin Yang Temple. The question is, how did he know? If someone told him, it would be weird."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, I heard voices coming from outside the door, "There is definitely something weird."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Zhao Pu and the others had all returned, and it was Gongsun who was holding the fourth son who was talking.

Gongsun still held a blueprint in his hand.

With sharp eyes, Chunhua recognized it immediately, "Ah! That's the map on the Shiye table."

Ouyang Shaozheng came up and patted his buttocks, "Why don't you call me, it's not big or small."

The painful Chunhua held his buttocks and jumped up so high, Ouyang was still happy.

"Sir, are you sure this matter is false?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao asked together.

"Yeah!" Gongsun slapped the map on the table and pointed to Wei's house circled by cinnabar, "Because this house is not a place where yin and yang meet Fengshui at all!"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Lan tilted her head, "The Feng Shui master is lying?!"

Chunhua and Wang Qi also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Su Qing also came over, looked at the location marked on the map, then shook her head, "Well... that Fengshui master is definitely half-baked, just like Shi Ye, he has only a half-knowledge, this is definitely not a place where Yin-Yang Fengshui gathers."

"So, no matter how many songs you sing to this house, you won't be able to enter the Hall of Yin and Yang, right?" Bai Yutang flattened the map and asked, "How many Fengshui masters are there in Kaifeng?"

Everyone looked at him.

"I've already sent people to look for it." Zhao Pu sat down beside him and Zhan Zhao.

Lin Yehuo leaned over and asked, "Why don't we sing a song too, will we meet little ghosts when we enter the Yin Yang Palace?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded, "Well, if it's true, you'll know if you try it."

Everyone looked at each other. If these four really entered the Yin-Yang Palace together, then the Yin-Yang House would be demolished, right?The big ghost and the little ghost will probably have a headache.
