Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang inn searched around, and apart from some strangers, they were injured disciples of the West Sea School and frightened inn clerks.

Zhan Zhao asked a few disciples of the West Sea School what happened.

Those few people replied, in fact, Xiao Changqing has been out in the middle of the night for the past few days, and he was fine just now, but suddenly he became manic, beating people like crazy... none of them are personal attendants, and when they arrive, they will Seeing that he was covered in blood and there was a corpse on the ground, he ran away quickly.It is said that while Xiao Changqing was running, he kept saying, "Yinhou, I want your life to pay."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin and frowned, "Why did he suddenly go crazy? Did he eat anything or drink tea?"

Several attendants looked at each other, expressing that they were not clear.

After Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived at Xiao Changqing's room and walked around, their eyes fell on the small potted plant on the bedside table.

This is a pot of red Fanqiong flowers, the same as what Zhan Zhao and the others saw when they stayed at the inn.

Zhan Zhao called the clerk and asked, "Is this a habit in Xu County? Why is there such a flower in every inn room?"

The buddy looked at the flower pot and said with a smile, "Oh, no, this flower is very effective in calming the mind. If you put this kind of flower in the room, the guests will be less crazy."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, puzzled, "Crazy?"

"Sigh." The man sighed helplessly, "You don't know, we in Xu County don't know if some gods have come over the past few years, alas, passers-by in Xu County are always dreaming. And if you don't do it, just do it Nightmare: Those guests go crazy in their dreams, they break things at least, and hurt people at worst. In short, they are extremely troublesome. Fortunately, I don’t know who researched the method later, so I planted this kind of flower in a small pot, and put a pot in the room... No more nightmares. Over time it developed to almost every inn."

"Then where did this flower come from?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Is it all over the place?" the man said. "There are many in the woods near Xu County, just pick some at random. These flowers are cheap and easy to grow, and they can basically live in the mud."

"Who was the first to come up with the idea of ​​putting this flower in the room?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Oh, I really don't know, um... I heard it was a passing doctor." The guy spread his hands, "It's fine if it works, and we don't ask too many questions."

"Then... after putting this flower in the room, no one is dreaming anymore?" Zhan Zhao asked, looking at Bai Yutang——impossible, Bai Yutang had been dreaming before, if it was because of the camellia, the flower It should be effective, why is it not effective?But if it doesn't work, why is it so widely spread and accepted?

"It was always effective in the past, but this time it's such a big event, it doesn't seem to be useful anymore." After finishing speaking, the clerk hurried away by himself, leaving Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to check Xiao Changqing's room.

The two of them didn't dare to rummage through anything... It was very likely that Xiao Changqing would be poisoned suddenly, but how did he get poisoned?Let's wait for Gongsun to check it out.

The two left the room and ordered the yamen servant to seal the door so that no one else could enter.

After leaving the inn, the two rushed to the Yamen.

In the county government office, Mr. Bao was talking behind closed doors with the three Xihai brothers who were still awake. In the backyard room, Gongsun rescued Xiao Changqing.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived at the courtyard gate, and asked Zhao Pu who was peeling oranges for Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi at the table, "How is the situation?"

"The nerd said that Xiao Zhangqing was poisoned, which is serious, but he should be able to be rescued." Zhao Puyu laughed, "Why do you save him? If he is rescued, he will be sent to the dog's head. It's better to let him go straight away." Dead, save that nerd from being troubled."

Lin Yehuo was leaning on a rattan couch, and was using cucumber slices to apply to his face. Hearing Zhao Pu's words, he lifted two slices of cucumbers covering his mouth and said, "I agree too." Outside, Zou Liang came in with a bowl, A small bowl of egg whites in the bowl, and a brush.

Lin Yehuo raised his hand, and Zou Liang silently brushed egg white on his hand.

The fourth son ran to Lin Yehuo with the orange, "Xiao Linzi, how about skin care?"

"Yeah." Lin Yehuo nodded inconveniently, so he hummed.

The fourth son also gave him an idea, "Put pearl powder in the egg white and it will be effective."

Lin Yehuo snapped his fingers at Zou Liang, "Mute, get some pearl powder in."

Zou Liang grabbed a handful of soil and put it in the egg white for him, and continued to paint.

The fourth son held his face and ate oranges and said, "Why don't you make an egg white mask for dad and apply it, the dark circles under your eyes are so obvious."

"That hard-working nerd," Zhao Pujia dissatisfied, "Save that Xiao Changqing, it's unnecessary."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also helpless, Zhao Pu felt sorry for Gongsun, but in fact they also felt sorry for him, but... Xiao Changqing can't be allowed to die in such an unexplained way, some things still need to be clarified.

"Sir, Shen Xingyue and the others?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Well, where are your aunts?" Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "I was annoyed when I saw those old boys, but they came a little strangely, and I always thought it was a big deal, but now it seems that the goal is to eradicate the Xihai faction. I didn't feel any hostility towards Yin Hou."

Zhan Zhao also nodded slightly, but he shouldn't take it lightly, who knows what the people behind the scenes are planning...and with such careful planning, there must be a big conspiracy.

While talking, a person came in from outside, it was Yin Tian Fu Yin, Yi Xian.

Zhan Zhao stood up, "Ah Shibo, just in time to find you"

Yi Xian was holding a large stack of things, obviously just arrived, "I also have some things for you here, how is Baoxiang going to trial? How's the progress?"

Everyone asked Yi Xian to sit down at the table, and the fourth son and Xiao Liang poured him tea.

Zhan Zhao glanced at the things Yi Xian brought, and saw that there were several thick stacks of albums, he was a little puzzled, "What is this?"

Yi Xiandao, "That day my teacher asked me to sort out the geographical atlas of Yingtian Mansion's past dynasties, as well as the customs annals, the biographies of Xu County officials of this generation, and the roster of nearby residents."

Everyone admired Yi Xian a little, they left Yingtian Mansion for only a few days, and after sorting out so much information, Yi Xian hasn't slept for a few days?

Zhao Pu glanced at the dark circles under Yi Xian's eyes, and sighed, "I said, why don't you students like to sleep?"

Yi Xian took a sip of tea and asked Zhan Zhao, "Nephew Xian, what do you want from me?"

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao remembered, and asked, "There is a Shanshan tea house in the suburbs of Yingtianfu. The old farmers nearby said that the owner of the teahouse is a businessman from Yingtianfu, called Shan Yiren. Do you know him, Uncle?"

Yi Xian was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard lightly, "Oh... is there really something wrong with this person?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Bai Yutang asked, "Sir, do you think there is something wrong with him?"

Yi Xian smiled slightly, nodded, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Have you asked your father?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I asked, but my father said he didn't know him."

Yi Xian also nodded, "Yes, you also know that there is no merchant in Yingtian Mansion that your father doesn't know? So, he is not a merchant in Yingtian Mansion at all."

Everyone was taken aback, "Then those old farmers said..."

"Those old farmers don't know. Seeing that he is a rich man from Yingtianfu, he naturally takes it as a businessman from Yingtianfu. In fact, he is by no means a local. It must have been more than a year ago... Well, he just moved here in less than two years and now Although people are in business, they seldom communicate with other businessmen, and they are also mysterious, and they almost don’t go out of their doors.” Yi Xian said.

Bai Yutang found it funny, "How do you do business like this?"

Yi Xian also nodded, "That's right, business people pay attention to network, the more people they know, the better. There are many merchants in Yingtian Mansion, whether they are big businessmen or small businessmen, they get together every now and then. I also often get together with them, There are natural and man-made disasters, or repairing bridges and roads, those merchants are still willing to contribute money and efforts to the local area. But the problem is that many people don’t know this Shan Yiren. But it’s quite particular, even the vegetables and fruits are planted on a few acres of land.”

After hearing this, Bai Yutang frowned, "Will he hire local farmers for farming?"

"No," Yi Xian said, "I've also inquired about it, so I think he is very suspicious. He built the tea house in Yaohua Mountain, which is called a tea house, but he never invited anyone in to drink tea or sing a song. Listen to a play or something, every day before dawn, someone will bring out fruits and vegetables, and there will be no movement all day after that."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Uncle Shi, have you suspected him for a long time?"

Yi Xian smiled, "It's not that I'm suspicious, maybe rich people are more low-key, but I have to be careful, so I sent someone to watch secretly for a few days."

"Then Shan Yiren, have you met?" Zhao Pu was also aroused.

Yi Xian nodded, "I've seen it once."

Everyone felt that this single member was really low-key, Ying Tianfu had been around for so long, even the magistrate had only seen him once.

"What kind of person?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Much younger than expected." Yi Xiandao, "About 30 years old, fair-skinned, quite regular-looking, expressionless, very stable."

Everyone imagined, "In his 30s, he has done a lot of business?"

"Should be pretty big." Yi Xian nodded, "It looks like he's rich. But I don't know what kind of business it is. It seems to be medicinal herbs. I don't know if there is any cloth. Is there another grain? But there is no rice shop or grain store without him. , I saw that he transported a bag of rice by boat at the pier.”

"Rice?" Zhao Pu was curious, "Transport grain?"

"It's not like that." Yi Xian held his chin, "Although he has a farm, he doesn't have any land. Besides, if he really does grain business, it's all shipped out by a whole boat, and he only has a few bags."

Everyone stared at Yi Xian and couldn't help but say, "You're really staring at him very closely."

Yi Xian raised his eyebrows, "Then who made him suspicious."

Everyone smiled and shook their heads.

At this time, I heard Zou Liang ask Lin Yehuo, "There are still egg whites left, and I wiped it on your face and neck?"

"Did you add pearl powder?" Lin Yehuo asked.

Zou Liang added another handful of soil to him, stirred it, nodded, "Added."

Lin Yehuo said happily, "Then put it on, put it in the gaps of the cucumber slices."

Zou Liang nodded.

Yi Xian looked at Lin Yehuo curiously, and thought to himself what is this painting on his face?Wall dust?

"Then are there any other suspicious people in Yingtian Mansion?" Zhan Zhao drew Yi Xian's attention back.

"Yes" Yi Xian opened a booklet, "A total of thirteen or four"

Everyone looked at this shrewd and meticulous magistrate dumbfoundedly. Sure enough, Mr. Bao and the Grand Master recommended someone together, it was unmistakable.

Yi Xian, Zhan Zhao and the others were chatting when they saw Master Bao came back, followed by embarrassing Shen Xingyue and the others.

Shen Xingyue, Liu Wangchuan, and Meng Fantian didn't know if they were severely scolded by Mr. Bao. The three of them were downcast, like frost beating an eggplant.

Later, Zhuge Luyi and Blue Fox also came in. Zhuge Luyi seemed to have some doubts on his face. Blue Fox followed him with arms folded. When he saw Lin Yehuo on the rattan couch, he jumped in shock and thought what the hell was going on. ?His face was ashy and sticky, and there were a lot of cucumber slices covered...Little clay figurine?

At this time, Gongsun also came out of the room. He seemed to have just washed his hands, and behind him, Zhe Ying held a tray with a lot of tools, bloody cotton and gauze.

Shen Xingyue and the others hurriedly asked, "Third brother..."

"He's awake." Gongsun sighed slightly, "Go and see him, he's not in a good condition."

Shen Xing was startled, "You put him to death?"

Gongsun Wangtian, he may be too tired to argue with them, so he is too lazy to hurt him.

The others all looked at the three of them with admiration, all panicked for Gongsun, what Zhao Pu said was absolutely right, and they all went out of their way to save him.

Zhao Pu could hear the sound of grinding his teeth.

The fourth son was very dissatisfied, "Why are you doing this? Daddy stayed up all night last night to investigate the case, and today he stood all afternoon to treat that person! Daddy treats patients equally, why are you so suspicious of his medical ethics? 'The situation is not very good' has many meanings, and it doesn't mean that it can't be saved, you scold people without even looking at it? Why is it so bad and so unreasonable?"

The old men were a little overwhelmed by what the younger son said, Meng Fantian muttered, "Your Kaifeng mansion is in the same group as Yin Hou."

The fourth son's cheeks puffed up, fierce, "Don't speak ill of Yin Yin, Yin Yin never speaks ill of others, you hate it"

Gongsun stretched out his hands to wrap Xiao Sizi on his lap, rubbed his stomach and fed him tea, which means - you are wasting all this time with them, why not drink saliva to moisten your throat and sing for your father.

The fourth son took aim at the three old men, and classified them into the category of "big villains".

On the side, Lin Yehuo suddenly stretched out his hand and raised two middle fingers at the three old men.

Bai Yutang almost spit out his tea.Gongsun was startled, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you? Are you poisoned?"

Lin Yehuo froze for a moment, and took off two cucumber slices covering his eyes. Just in time to see his gray hands, he sat up in shock, and the cucumber slices fell off his face.

Yi Xian couldn't hold back, and spit out a mouthful of tea.

Xiao Liangzi pointed at Lin Yehuo and pounded the table with a smile, "Ahahaha Lin Turkey, you look so handsome hahaha."

Lin Yehuo was confused, and Zou Liang kindly handed him a mirror for him to look at. Lin Yehuo also surprised the person in the mirror with "black circles" on his face. A bowl of dark egg paste.

"Dumb, I told you to put pearl powder, what did you put?"

Zou Liang didn't change his expression, "Black Pearl."

"Ahem..." Master Bao choked on the tea.

Lin Yehuo jumped up, and Zou Liang ran away...the two chased out of the yard. Listening to the movement, they seemed to be "scrapping" together.

At this time, I saw Ziying running back from the room, "Oh, that old man can't stop him, any of you can think of a way."

Seeing the three old men in front, Ziying hurriedly said, "Hey, just hurry up and look at it yourself, don't wipe your neck and say we're going to kill you."

The old men were puzzled, but they still entered the house.

Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun somewhat puzzled, "What's going on?"

Gongsun took a sip of tea, but he was also very helpless, "It turned out that Xiao Changqing had been in a dream, and I detoxified his body before he woke up. And he clearly remembered what he had in his dream, including killing the little girl. His family and his own subordinates who killed the inn. No, now he woke up and said that his fame was ruined, and he also shamed the Xihai faction and his master, so he wants to wipe his neck."

Zhao Pu held the cup, "Although this Xiao Changqing is hateful, it was not his intention to kill in the dream, and he was innocent after being affected by the poison. But he killed so many people, it is impossible to just let it go... Let him wipe his own neck. It’s good, at least it’s a commitment to say it, and people in the Jianghu will not look down on him.”

"But his brothers don't necessarily think so." Bai Yutang said coldly, and sure enough, Shen Xingyue came out and said to Bao Zheng, who was sitting next to Zheng Zhanzhao and the others, drinking tea, "Master Bao, my brother was arrested It's only because of people's conspiracy, this time it's clear that someone harmed us, there is no reason for my brother to bear all the responsibility..."

Everyone looked at him.

Master Bao said, "Two villagers, one of them is pregnant. Adding five disciples from your West Sea Sect, eight people were killed and three were injured. Even if the government made him bear [-]% of the responsibility, he would have to pay for one life."

Shen Xingyue's expression turned ugly, "I'm not convinced"

Everyone frowned—it could only be said that he was asking for trouble, but then again, if Xiao Zhangqing really killed people under the control of drugs or other tricks, he was indeed very wronged.In addition, Mrs. Yiye made him a substitute for the dead ghost before, it seems that someone is targeting Xiao Changqing himself...

While talking, two people came in from outside.

Walking in front was Tianzun, who walked into the yard with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang are getting more and more noisy, rolling like two clay figurines."

Everyone looked up to the sky.

And it was Yin Hou who walked in behind Tianzun.

Shen Xingyue was stunned when she saw Yin Hou.

After a long time, Shen Xingyue sighed—things are different and people are different, the three of them have become old men with white hair, but Yin Hou... the man in front of him is the same as before, almost unchanged.

Yin Hou's face brought back so many memories in him, Shen Xingyue asked herself, what exactly did she hate about him... did she hate him for not accepting her junior sister's love?Junior sister died tragically because of him?I still hate him for being too good, high, that level, they will never be able to touch it.

Shen Xingyue went to the side table and sat down, sighed, "My brother can't just die without knowing why, and ruin his good reputation for the rest of his life... He shouldn't have ended up like this."

Everyone looked at the old man, and thought it was quite annoying, but at the same time, they also felt pitiful. If I had known this, I would have thought it better?If he let go of the grievances towards Yin Hou, maybe now his children and grandchildren will share the family relationship.

At this moment, listening to Yin Hou's words, he asked Bao Zheng, "Where's that little girl?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Yin Hou.

Bao Da didn't understand for a while, "Which little girl?"

"Just the one whose parents were killed." Yin Hou said, "Let her come and recognize her."

Master Bao stared at Yin Hou for a while, and saw that he spoke casually, but it didn't look like he was joking.Although he didn't understand the meaning, Master Bao always respected Yin Hou and Tianzun, so he immediately called for someone to bring the little girl.

The little girl was timid, she already knew Master Bao, so she hid beside him.

Master Bao ordered Xiao Changqing to be brought over, and told the little girl not to be afraid, but to recognize who the murderer was last night.

After a while, Xiao Changqing, Meng Fantian and Liu Wangchuan walked in with the support.At this moment, his face was ashen, and he seemed to have no interest in life.

Master Bao asked the little girl, "Is it that person?"

The little girl looked in the direction of Master Bao's finger, and when she saw Xiao Changqing, she immediately shrank behind Master Bao.

Xiao Changqing didn't know who the child was. He heard from his brother that he killed the only girl in that family in a dream. The old man beat his chest and stamped his feet, "What crime did I do..."

At this moment, the little girl poked her head out again, looked at it for a while, then shook her head, raised her face and said to Bao Zheng, "It's not him."

Everyone was stunned.

Master Bao was also taken aback.

Xiao Changqing also stopped crying, and his brothers looked at the girl in disbelief, and asked, "Little sister, are you sure?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "That man is younger than him, but he wears the same clothes."

Master Bao asked, "Look again, are you sure?"

The little girl nodded seriously.

"Think about it again." Yin Hou asked the little girl again, "When the murderer killed someone, did he use his left hand or his right hand to grab the knife?"

The little girl thought for a while and replied, "The right hand."

Everyone looked at Xiao Changqing, Xiao Changqing was indeed holding a knife in his right hand, but... Xiao Changqing himself was stunned.

His brother was also taken aback.

Shen Xingyue said, "My brother is left-handed, but everyone in the world thinks he is right-handed. When we were young, once we bothered Hou Yin, my junior sister got angry with us and made a bet with us. We fell for her plan and lost. She punished us to use backhands for several days. At that time, our life was inconvenient, but she was very amused by us, so we kept using backhands. Over the years, we have developed a habit... so except for the early Except for people who knew us in Nian, no one knows whether we are right-handed or left-handed. It is impossible for my junior brother to kill with his right hand."

"What do you mean impossible?" Master Bao asked.

Shen Xingyue said, "His right hand was injured back then, and now he still has old troubles, so he can't use a knife at all."

Zhuge Luyi touched his chin, "There is indeed something strange"

Lord Bao asked Yin Hou, "Yin Hou, why do you have such doubts?"

"The dead people in the inn were all killed by the right hand." Yin Hou had obviously been to the inn just now.

Holding the teacup, Tianzun said, "I asked a few disciples of the West Sea School and the waiter of the restaurant. None of them saw the specific process of Xiao Changqing's murder. They only saw blood rushing out of his body, and then there were many dead people behind him. The injured disciple was injured when he pushed and shoved him. In addition, the restaurant guy was frightened and yelled, so everyone thought Xiao Changqing had killed someone."

"So, someone put the blame on him?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

Everyone looked at Xiao Changqing.

Xiao Changqing was a little confused at this time, "But I clearly... I remember that I killed those people."

"Do you kill with your left hand or your right?" Shen Xingyu asked.

"I... I don't remember the details, but I remember that I killed those people." Xiao Changqing frowned.

Yin Hou and Tianzun looked at each other.

Yin Hou sighed, "You four idiots offended again, why shouldn't you offend someone?"

The corners of the mouths of the four twitched, "No."

Bai Yutang asked Tianzun, "Master, what's the situation?"

Tianzun held his chin and said, "He is a very high-level expert. He used the drug and also used the technique of soul-stirring."

Yin Hou also nodded, "Mishin, who was the master of soul-hunting back then, has been dead for many years. There hasn't been a master of soul-hunting in all these years. This time is really interesting."
