Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a sip of each other, and after drinking a jar of ginseng tea that didn't add honey but was too sweet, they planned to go to bed.

At night in Hongying Village, although everything is quiet, the sound of the waterfall can still be heard clearly.

Strange to say, everyone thought that living under the waterfall would be very noisy, but the sound of the water was very light, and it didn't affect the rest at all.

Bai Yutang lay on the bed, listening to the "squeaking" sound of water, distracted.

The bed in Zhan Zhao's room was placed head to head, against the wall, so Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are now sleeping with their heads on top of each other, looking at the roof together.

"It sounds like the sound of ocean waves." Bai Yutang lived in the sea all year round and was very familiar with this sound.

"When Lu Shanhan built it, there seemed to be some kind of design to avoid sound and gather sound." Zhan Zhao said, "Red Yingzhai has five floors from bottom to top. The bottom floor sounds like rain. The second floor The first floor has almost no sound, the third floor is the sound of waves, the fourth floor is like the sound of a stream, and the fifth floor is the sound of a waterfall."

Bai Yutang nodded, feeling miraculous.

Zhan Zhao raised his head, turned over and lay on his stomach, rubbed forward, leaned on the short railing at the head of the bed, looked at Bai Yutang's face lying on his back, "Don't you like architecture and machines? I remember Hongyingzhai There are blueprints of the trap left by Lu Shanhan in the past, will I show it to you tomorrow?"

Bai Yutang raised his face, looked at Zhan Zhao's face, "Sure!"

"Yeah!" Zhan Zhao rested his chin, "I was busy investigating cases when I came here, and I didn't take you to visit Hongying Village... There are many places in Hongying Village that are very interesting."

Bai Yutang also turned over, lay face to face with Zhan Zhao, and asked curiously, "Is this actually a guest room?"

"En!" Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Then where is your room?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao seemed embarrassed, "Is this..."

Bai Yutang looked at him suspiciously, "You haven't lived in the Demon Palace all this time, have you never returned to Hongying Village?"

Zhan Zhao was helpless, "I lived in Hongyingzhai when I was young, and lived with my parents when I was the youngest. When I grew up, I went to Changzhou to live in my father's hometown for a while, and then I lived in the magic palace most of the time, or Running around. My own room was supposed to last for a month or a year a year."

"Originally?" Bai Yutang was curious.

Zhan Zhao Wangtian, "But since it was taken over when I was ten years old, I can only move here. Anyway, I rarely live here...so I can't get it back."

Bai Yutang sounded strange, "Who robbed your room?"

Zhan Zhao had a complicated expression on his face, "Hmm..."

Bai Yutang waited for him to speak.

"Cat..." Zhan Zhao muttered for a while before saying something.

Bai Yutang was taken aback, thinking of Zhan Zhao's ability to recruit cats. He walked all the way into Hongying Village and saw a few cats, but logically speaking, Zhan Zhao's ability to recruit cats was far more than that. Kaifeng Mansion attracted dozens of cats. , squatting on the wall all day long, Hongyingzhai is an old den, how many cats must there be?

Zhan Zhao sighed helplessly, "There is a small mountain in the south, and a beautiful attic was originally built, and my mother planned to live in it for me, but I didn't expect that I didn't live there for a long time, and I was occupied by cats. Later, more and more cats were raised. , Big cats give birth to kittens...the attic will become a cat litter, I will take you to see it when I have time, there are all kinds of cats. If people in the neighborhood want to raise cats, they will come here."

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao for a long time, and was amused by him, "A magpie's nest is occupied by a dove, and you are a cat's nest, which is quite reasonable."

Zhan Zhao sighed, "Master, I don't know which cat demon I offended in my last life, but I have an inseparable relationship with cats in this life!" As he spoke, he gave Bai Yutang a sideways look, and cursed - and rats!

Neither of them felt sleepy, so they turned off the lights and chatted face to face.

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered, "By the way, why did you go there this afternoon?"

As soon as Bai Yutang was reminded by him, he remembered something serious and didn't say anything, so he said, "I almost forgot, I went to find some clues with your Aunt Lu in the afternoon, I told Gongsun just now, I forgot to tell you .”

"What clue?" Zhan Zhao felt tired from holding his face, and simply jumped against the bed rail... When he reached Bai Yutang's side, he leaned on the pillow and asked, "Did Aunt Lu come up with any good idea?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Your Aunt Lu is indeed smart, she can think of all of this."

Zhan Zhao casually grabbed Bai Yutang's hair to try the feel, and listened to Bai Yutang's words.

"She took me to the casino in the afternoon." Bai Yutang continued.

"The casino?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Why do you go to the casino?"

"I didn't understand at first." Bai Yutang said, "I found out later that many of Xiao Changqing's subordinates were gambling!"

"Gambling?" Zhan Zhao felt incredible.

"It turns out that the people on those small islands in the West Sea are very rich!" Bai Yutang said, "The islands in the West Sea have a lot of seafood and herbs, and the key is that they also produce gold."

Zhan Zhao was startled, "Gold mine?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "But the West Sea area is too remote, and there is nothing to do on the island all year round, so once people from the West Sea sects arrive in the Central Plains, they basically gamble during the day and visit brothels at night."

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "Don't you care about Xiao Changqing?"

Bai Yutang laughed, "Xiao Changqing probably spends all his time hating your grandfather, so how can there be an empty guard?"

"Madam Yiye just died, and they also go to gamble?" Zhan Zhao was horrified.

"Speaking of this is even more irritating." Bai Yutang shook his head, "It is said that the people in the West Sea have a special idea that widows who die will win bets, so those under Xiao Changqing who have not been assigned tasks will run away. Go gamble!"

Zhan Zhao also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I understand, so Aunt Lu asked you to gamble with those people, by the way?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

"Then what did you find out?" Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang's hair was itchy, and he stretched out his hand to grab it and put it between his fingers, turning it around.

Bai Yutang didn't bother with him, and let him do his own hair. Speaking of which, if it was a second person who dared to touch Fifth Master's hair, he would probably be served by a knife in the cloud.

"One of the gamblers was Xiao Changqing's attendant." Bai Yutang said, "He said that Xiao Changqing might have had a dream last night, or sleepwalked. He saw him going out in the middle of the night and called him, but he didn't respond."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "So he must be sleepwalking?"

"Xiao Changqing just walked past him." Bai Yutang said, "But..."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "If he drank camellia tea, he wouldn't be able to tell whether he really saw it or he was dreaming."

Bai Yutang nodded, "But the attendant mentioned that Xiao Changqing ordered a pot of tea before going to bed, and he brought him a pot of camellia tea, but Xiao Changqing was in a bad mood that day, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he came out Afterwards, he heard the sound of teacups being thrown, so he went upstairs to look, and saw Mrs. Yiye entering Xiao Changqing's room."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Throwing the tea bowl..."

Bai Yutang continued, "But Mrs. Yiye came out after a short stay."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "Did her fingers hurt when she came out?"

Bai Yutang said, "Gongsun also asked the same question just now, but the attendant probably didn't notice."

"It's also... such a small wound." Zhan Zhao asked, "Where did the attendant get the tea from?"

"The guy from the restaurant sent it downstairs, and he took it to Xiao Changqing." Bai Yutang said, "Just now the shadow guard went to check it out, and found that the tea in the restaurant was served casually, and no one cared about it. The entire inn was occupied by Xiao Changqing's people, full of murderous intent, and the shopkeeper did not dare to approach, for fear of hearing something that should not be heard, and causing trouble for himself. But those people who should be looking at the tea are..."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Understood! Did you gamble during the day and go shopping in brothels at night?"

Bai Yutang also nodded.

"Then when did you see Xiao Changqing sleepwalking?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It was a while after Mrs. Yiye left, it was late at night." Bai Yutang said, "And the attendant didn't know when he came back. He kept guard downstairs and didn't hear the footsteps. Maybe He went back through the window."

"How sneaky is Xiao Changqing?" Zhan Zhao touched his chin lightly, "Gongsun also said before that Mrs. Yiye might be Xiao Changqing's scapegoat...that is to say, the original poison was given to Xiao Changqing in that pot It was in the camellia tea. But it was dropped by Xiao Changqing, Mrs. Yiye probably accidentally stabbed her hand while picking up the tea bowl, so she was poisoned, and died without anyone noticing after returning to the room!"

Bai Yutang nodded, "We all think so."

"Actually, just ask Xiao Changqing and you'll know everything." Zhan Zhao said helplessly, "Unfortunately, he disappeared."

"He may not be able to answer your questions even if you see him." Bai Yutang looked at his own hair in Zhan Zhao's hands.

Zhan Zhao pulled the quilt to cover himself, "I'm sleepy."

Bai Yutang also lay down, "Then go to sleep."

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, blinked his eyes, but didn't close them, as if he hesitated to speak.

Bai Yutang laughed, "What do you want to say?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Ye Xing said something strange..."

Bai Yutang sat up, "What did he say?"

It was the first time Zhan Zhao saw him react so strongly, so he pulled him back to lie down, "I don't understand what I heard, but you two have such a good relationship, why haven't I heard you mention it before."

Bai Yutang didn't speak.

"Because of Mrs. Yiye and Uncle Xiaohuo?" Zhan Zhao asked, "But your other good friends have introduced me to each other, and I don't ask about the background."

Bai Yutang hesitated for a while, then said, "Ye Xing and I have known each other for a long time."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I know that."

"His hobbies are very similar to mine." Bai Yutang said in a low voice.

"And then?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's just that the two of us often look at the same thing at the same time." Bai Yutang said helplessly, "The taste of drinking and eating is similar."

"Then?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Ahem." Bai Yutang coughed twice, and said, "He's still like me, he likes... cats."

Bai Yutang said the word "cat" quite quietly.

"Continue." Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang, very happy to hear it.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly, "There is no more."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Bai Yutang coughed and turned over, "The cat is asleep, and I'll get up early tomorrow."

Zhan Zhao held Bai Yutang's shoulder with one hand, leaned his chin on his neck, and asked, "Because he doesn't like you very much, so you are afraid that he will steal from you, and you don't tell him what you like, and don't show him. Is it?"

Bai Yutang didn't make a sound, and after a long time, he said, "Yes."

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and then, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he leaned forward again, "Aren't you... You are Bai Yutang! Although Ye Xing is a nice person, he really can't compare with you!"

After Bai Yutang heard it, although it was not kind to say brother, but...it was very pleasing to the ear.

"Hello." Zhan Zhao pushed Bai Yutang, "What did he snatch you from before?"

Bai Yutang sighed, and said for a long time, "I used to raise a black cat, and it was very good with me... Then he went to Xingkong Island, and the cat followed him."

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide, "Aren't you going to grab it back?"

Bai Yutang turned over helplessly, looked at Zhan Zhao, "That cat went with him voluntarily, he has always had a way with cats!"

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and stared at Bai Yutang, "So your preoccupation was not that you were worried that he would misunderstand you or that he would be used by others?"

Bai Yutang laughed, "Ye Xing is reasonable and smart when he says it nicely, but he's a ghost if he puts it bluntly. He has always been the only one who can deceive people. Who can deceive him? I wonder who would use such a trick to deal with him. Now it seems that Madam Yiye was killed by mistake, what a pity."

After Bai Yutang finished speaking, Zhan Zhao stopped talking.

Bai Yutang looked at him.

Zhan Zhao is also looking at him.

Bai Yutang sighed, "Go to sleep."

Zhan Zhao asked, "He took your cat away?"

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, and finally told the truth, "He stole a lot of my cats!"

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "A lot?"

Bai Yutang was also helpless, "I ate and drank well, and when he came, all those cats left with him."

Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang for a long time, then suddenly got up and flipped through his pocket.

After a while, I saw him dig out a paper bag.

"What?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

Zhan Zhao took out one and stuffed it into Bai Yutang's mouth.

Bai Yutang was puzzled, the food in his mouth was sweet and tasted like hawthorn, "Hawthorn candy?"

This is the candy that the fourth son gave Zhan Zhao before, assorted, fruit candy, and there are all kinds of flavors.Bai Yutang's is sweet and sour, just like the taste of hawthorn.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "No."

Bai Yutang had sugar in his mouth, "What's that taste like?"

"It's not sugar!" Zhan Zhao said seriously, "It's medicine!"

Bai Yutang looked at him puzzled, sweet!Not sugar or medicine?He asked a little funny, "What medicine?"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Reassurance."

Bai Yutang lost his mind and almost swallowed the candy.

Zhan Zhao reached out his hand at the right time, patted his chest lightly, and whispered in his ear, "It's just that those cats didn't see it, there is always a cat in this world who sticks to you so hard that you won't be abducted!"

Bai Yutang was taken aback.

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he turned over and covered himself with the quilt, "Sleep."

This time it was Bai Yutang's turn to refuse to sleep, leaned over, held Zhan Zhao's shoulder, and pressed his chin against his ear, "What did you just say?"

"Haha~" Zhan Zhao yawned, "I'm so sleepy."

"Cat, do you have any reassurance pills? Give me two more." Bai Yutang shook Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao simply gave him a bag of candies.

Bai Yutang held the candy wrapper, "Then I'll eat one and you tell me what you just said."

Zhan Zhao pulled the quilt to cover his head, his exposed ears were blushing.

"Cat." Bai Yutang shook him, "I've eaten the second one, and I'm going to eat it all night, so you can tell me all night."

Zhan Zhao was bored in the quilt and said helplessly, "Eating jelly beans all night...you're so sweet!"
