Dragon Pattern Roll Set
Chapter 366 [Old Man Wind]
Bai Yutang went outside to find a place to vomit, and Fifth Master was a little helpless, but luckily he only ate a little bit just now, and it wasn't too bad, but just thinking about those fat worms made his stomach churn.
Just arrived at the teahouse opposite the restaurant, ordered a pot of tea to rinse his mouth, after thinking for a while, Bai Yutang asked the old man who poured the tea for him, "There are no bugs or cat feces in this tea, right?"
The old man smiled and waved his hands, "No, no... There is mint in it. I see you several times a day, and they all came out to rinse their mouths after eating the Heavenly Star Seven Treasures Banquet."
Bai Yutang took a sip of the tea helplessly, it was indeed refreshing and delicious.
Seeing Bai Yutang drinking tea, the old man smiled and bowed to him, "Congratulations."
Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, looked at the old man, "Congratulations?"
The old man looked at him puzzled, "Didn't your sweetheart's parents force you to eat the Heavenly Star and Seven Treasures Banquet? You eat it to show that your family agrees."
Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, then looked at the old man, "What... do you agree?"
"Oh." The old man stroked his beard, "Did your sweetheart explain it to you?"
As soon as Bai Yutang heard the word "sweetheart", Zhan Zhao's face popped into his head, and he felt better, so he asked the old man, "Tell me in detail?"
The old man held the teapot and said, "Although the Seven Stars Banquet is actually quite expensive, the taste is also very good. The locals can get used to eating it, especially the children, but the outsiders definitely can't get used to it. It's not because the taste is bad. It's scary."
Bai Yutang nodded - empathizing.
"You must have courage to eat the banquet of the seven treasures of heavenly stars." The old man said, "If a foreigner wants to marry a local, there is a custom to eat the banquet of seven treasures of heavenly stars, which shows that he has the courage to share weal and woe, especially men, who have a sense of responsibility Performance. Now young people don’t pay much attention to it, but old people still care about it. It is said that after eating the seven treasures of heaven and earth, there will be three gods of heaven, earth and man to take care of them, and this relationship can blossom and bear fruit. Adults will also cook for you, you have to eat at least half of the pot. The cooking at home is not as delicious as that cooked in restaurants, and often a pot of worms is delivered to your eyes. If you dare not eat it, the adults in the family Don’t be happy. I’ve eaten at the restaurant, and if my family members ask me, they’ll say they’ve already eaten, and they won’t embarrass you…”
Bai Yutang was surprised, "So there is such a saying?"
"Looking at your gentleness, I don't think you dare to eat it. Your sweetheart must have elders from Tianxing Village. I'm afraid that you will be forced to eat a pot of worms, so I brought you to a restaurant to eat." The old man smiled and stroked his beard. , "It's someone who can hurt people, what a blessing."
Bai Yu suddenly realized that this was the case, and Zhan Zhao brought a lot of people to eat together, so that if the elders in the Demon Palace asked, everyone would be able to testify that he had eaten it. It turned out that the cat was not a pure cat. Want to play a prank on him, but there is such a reason.
Bai Yutang was in a good mood, so he took out the money for the tea so that the old man would not have to look for it.
The fifth master also took a piece from the purse and gave it to the old man. He didn't carefully study whether it was silver or gold. If you buy my tea stand, you will be rich."
Bai Yutang smiled slightly, indicating that the old man doesn't mind.
However, the old man was still a little embarrassed and said, "Master, do you want to change it to a silver bank? Older people in Tianxing Village dare not accept more than one tael of gold."
Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, puzzled, "Why?"
"Hey..." The old man said helplessly, "There may be a thief hiding in Tianxing Village."
Bai Yutang looked at the old man, waiting for him to continue.
"The old people in Tianxing Village are used to giving gold ornaments when they hire their daughters. There are treasures everywhere around this village, and the dealers are good. Who doesn't have any dry goods?" steal."
Bai Yutang frowned, "Didn't you report to the official?"
"Report it!" The old man said helplessly, "It was still stolen! Besides, the government couldn't catch any thieves, and if they didn't kill anyone, they would lose money, so they didn't pay much attention to it."
Bai Yutang thought for a while, and then asked, "I heard that a peasant woman was robbed and killed before..."
"Oh! It must have been done by one person!" The old man said with certainty.
"So sure?" Bai Yutang wondered.
The old man nodded, and told Bai Yutang about the commonality of the crimes with his fingers, "The targets of the theft are all old people! No matter what is in the house, they just take gold! And they are all gold jewelry, at least one or two weights more!" The old people are silent, even the neighbors don’t know they have such a gold jewelry in their hands! What’s more, they come and go without a trace, so far no one has seen a single person!”
Bai Yutang felt that it was indeed quite suspicious, "Do you know what other things were stolen, but no one was killed so nothing happened?"
Pointing to a house not far away, the old man said, "Over there, there lives a man named Li, who always comes to drink tea with me. A month ago, he had a valuable gold jewelry stolen. His family is rich. But the thief stole the gold jewelry instead of stealing anything else. It is said that it was a dowry prepared by the family for the daughter, and it would be awkward if it disappeared, and it felt unlucky.
Bai Yutang nodded, changed the silver for the old man, and ran back to the inn.
So... Bai Yutang came back and told everyone that he had found a clue.
Bai Yutang will be in the teahouse opposite, what the old man said, about gold, of course, the old man's statement about the Heavenly Star and Seven Treasures Banquet was omitted.
After everyone listened, they decided to ask the member after dinner.
At the same time, Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang—you would reward him with an ingot of gold for every cup of tea, how rich are you?
Bai Yutang smiled, and there happened to be a plate of fried shrimp on the table, so he picked up a chopstick and sent it to Zhan Zhao's mouth.
After everyone finished eating, paid their bills and left, the diners in the lobby all bowed their hands to everyone, chattering and saying, "Congratulations, happy marriage for a hundred years, early birth of a precious child..."
Except for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, everyone else felt baffled.
Zhan Zhao looked at the sky and pretended not to hear.
Bai Yutang walked with a smile on his face, pretending not to hear.
……
After leaving the restaurant, everyone rushed to Li Yuanwai's house.
Bai Yutang thought about it as he walked, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the cat was caring.
Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang looking at him while walking, that look...
Guard Zhan was a little puzzled—did Yutang go out to drink herbal tea or ecstasy soup just now?so happy?
The Li Mansion is just a few steps away.
Ouyang knocked on the door, and not long after, a guy opened the door, poked his head out to have a look, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Yuan Li outside?" Zhan Zhao asked.
The buddy looked everyone up and down, and asked, "Why... are you looking for the master?"
Zhan Zhao took out his badge, "I'm an official..."
"Master is not at home." The man replied hastily.
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
Zhao Pu rubbed his chin—this guy felt confused when he heard that Zhan Zhao was an official post, it was obvious that he had a ghost in his heart.
Zhan Zhao naturally also noticed something strange, and said, "It's okay, we heard that your home was stolen, so..."
"No!" The man shook his head quickly, "I didn't lose anything!" After speaking, he hurriedly closed the door.
Everyone frowned.
Xiao Liangzi curled his lips, "Huh! There is no silver 900 taels here!"
The fourth son blinked, "Xiao Liangzi, there is no silver 300 taels here."
Xiao Liang said seriously, "It means three times more serious than the 300 taels of no silver here."
The fourth son opened his mouth, "Oh...so that's the case."
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, Zhao Pu and others found a nearby tea shop to sit down, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang slipped up, climbed up the courtyard wall, and slipped into Li's residence.
After the guy closed the door, he ran to the mansion in the distance.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw it from a distance, and jumped to follow.
Both of them are good at lightness kungfu, and they quickly caught up with that guy without anyone noticing.
The guy burst into a yard.
I saw a fat old woman standing at the door of the house in the courtyard, and a few maids behind her, all of them seemed anxious.
Seeing the guy running in, a girl hurriedly asked, "Is the master back?"
The guy shook his head, "No."
……
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hid behind the rockery and looked at each other—it turns out that Li Yuanwai is really not there...Then the guy didn't lie, but why are they so flustered?
The two continued to look at it, and then heard the guy continue to say, "It's an official post."
The old lady was taken aback, "Officer? Why did the official come? Something happened to the master?"
"Ma'am, don't think wildly, it won't happen!" Several girls hurriedly persuaded.
"Oh..." The old lady seemed to be a little broken, she couldn't stand still, and started crying, "What is this called, it's a thing like this when I'm old... The master has been gone for two hours. Why don't you just hit another one when you come back, in case something happens to him... Oh, I can't live!"
Several maids hurriedly persuaded him.
The clerk also said, "Madam, don't be impulsive. The master has always told you not to report to the official. If you report to the official, you will not be able to get the things back, and the master will still be in danger."
All the people in the family were anxious like ants on a hot pot, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also at a loss - what's wrong?
Just wondering, I saw an old man coming from the other side.
The old man was wearing black casual clothes, he looked quite wealthy, and he was carrying a small bag in his hand.
As soon as he entered the yard, he frowned, "Why are you crying! I told you to keep quiet!"
"Master!" Several servants were surprised and delighted.
The old lady also clasped her hands together and said to the sky, "Amitabha!"
Li Yuanwai sent away the servant girls, entered the house with the old lady, and closed the door.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went up to the roof, lifted the tiles and continued to peek.
The old man opened the bundle, took out a brocade box from inside, opened it...in the brocade box, there was a luxurious pure gold necklace.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.
"Oh." The old lady asked the old man, "So, those thieves stole from us by mistake?"
The old man nodded, then glared at the old woman, "It's all your fault, why did you come back with all your stuff?"
"Tsk!" The old lady was not happy, "Isn't that a dowry for your daughter!"
"If you hit the right bracelet, you can get it. With such a thing..." The old man curled his lips, "If it weren't for the help of Mr. Feng this time, this thing would be gone! It's a small thing if the gold is gone, and it's so ugly to spread it! After getting married, if the husband’s family loses something, it should be said that your daughter has ruined her husband’s family.”
"So Amitabha!" The old lady thanked the Bodhisattva again, as if she was still a little worried, "They just returned it to us? Didn't they say anything else?"
"Yes..." The old man nodded, "You have to change it at Mr. Feng's place. The people there asked me, where did you buy this set of gold ornaments."
"Isn't it the gold shop in Chengqiao? I need to ask?" the old lady wondered.
"There are at least twenty gold shops in Chengqiao. You have to ask which family it is." Helpless, the old man waved his hand, "In short, this matter is settled, you woman, don't ask!"
After speaking, I packed up my things and got ready to rest.
Bai Yutang frowned and was trying to figure out which gold shop it was, but felt that Zhan Zhao tugged at his sleeve and pouted to the side, which meant - withdraw!
Bai Yutang followed Zhan Zhao and left.
After leaving Li's mansion and entering the tea shop, Zhan Zhao took out the bamboo tube and released the golden shell before sitting down.
Not long after, there was a sudden gust of wind outside, flying sand and rocks.
Everyone looked out, and saw an old man with a white beard in a big gray robe galloping in with the wind, "Zhao Zhao!"
Zhan Zhao also greeted happily, "Master!"
The old man ran to the table and called Zhan Zhao while patting Bai Yutang's shoulder, "Oh, you're here, little Bai, ahahaha."
Everyone looked up, looked left and right, the old man looked about 70 or [-] years old, with a long white beard hanging down to his chest, smiling and cheerful.
Bai Yutang did go to the Devil's Palace before, but in a hurry, he didn't recognize most of the devil's bosses, so...
Zhan Zhao introduced, "This is rumor."
Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo raised their eyebrows.
Lin Yehuo was surprised, "Is the old man the legendary all-knowing and omnipotent gossip?"
The old man grinned triumphantly, "Yes, Hall Master Lin."
Zhao Pu was puzzled, "Words are spreading? Who is it?"
Bai Yutang said, "It's rumored that Jianghu is the one who inquires. He knows everything about Jianghu. In addition, if anyone wants to buy news or make a deal with each other, just find him separately, and he will help to make connections."
Rumor has it that he patted Bai Yutang with a smile, "Oh, you really are insightful."
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, before everyone in the Demon Palace felt that Bai Yutang had robbed their little Palace Master, but now the elders in the Demon Palace looked at Bai Yutang and thought it was smooth.
Bai Yutang seemed to understand, "Oh... just now Li Yuanwai said to ask Mr. Feng for help, did he mean you?"
Feng Chuanfeng was taken aback, "You mean Li Bi?"
Zhan Zhao pulled Old Man Feng to sit beside him, and explained the matter.
"Oh!" Feng Chuanfeng nodded, "Then Mr. Li's name is Li Bi, a liquor seller, and he knew your Aunt Jiutou. It was said that a set of gold jewelry was lost at home. It was his daughter's dowry. I want to get it back."
"Now that we've found it!" Zhan Zhao was excited, "Then do you know who those thieves are?"
"What about this?" Feng Chuanfeng said helplessly, "You also know that your Grandpa Feng is a blind man who collects money and does things without asking where he came from... I only know that there are more than one thief, and they seem to be a group of people. It was stolen wrong, it looks like a model, but it is not the real thing, so they want to know which gold shop it is from."
"Where is the city bridge?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Chengqiao is to the west of Tianxing Village, a street market in Lin County, where there are craftsmen." Zhan Zhao helped introduce, "There are hundreds of gold shops, silver shops, jade shops, ivory carving shops, etc."
"Is there such a place? Then you have to go and see!" Pang Yu regained his energy, and Bao Yan also nodded.
"Many craftsmen in the city bridge are shady. The street market is open during the day and closed at night. No one will spend the night in the shop. Moreover, the shop has no number plate and is often changed. When the work is done, they will find reliable ones. People deliver it to your door, so you don’t need to pick it up.” Zhan Zhao said, “If you want to visit, you can only wait until tomorrow morning. If you don’t know someone well, it’s hard to find someone.”
"It's so chaotic, and it's all gold, silver and jade. Are you afraid of running away with money or encountering scammers?" Bao Yan asked.
Feng Chuanfeng shook his head, "No one has the guts!"
People are curious.
Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Chengqiao is the territory of Tuozi Ming, he knows who the seller is, and whoever dares to deceive him will die."
Everyone was surprised.
The fourth son was curious, "Ming hunchback?"
"I have heard of this." Zhao Pu said, "He is also from the Demon Palace, right?"
"Yes." Feng Chuanfeng nodded.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Ming Tuozi is a nickname. This person's real name is unknown, only his surname is Ming, and he is also a hunchback, so he is called Ming Tuozi.This person is also nicknamed Yan Wanggui, and he was a villain who was famous all over the world back then, and one of the top ten masters of the Demon Palace.In addition, because this person is good at tracking, once he catches his eye, it will be like provoking the soul behind him, and he will find you at the end of the world, so this person is the first person on the list of "least provoked" in Jianghu.
Bai Yutang was very curious and asked Zhan Zhao, "How good is his kung fu?"
"It's about the same as little Uncle Wu." Zhan Zhao said.
Everyone was horrified—how many such peerless masters are there in the Demon Palace?
"The only thing that member Li knows is that his wife found a shopkeeper named Chen to make this set of gold ornaments." Old Man Feng said.
"That means..." Zhan Zhao clapped his hands, "Uncle Ming knows which shop it is?"
"That's for sure." Old Man Feng nodded. Tomorrow is just the day to settle the accounts. He probably will go to Chengqiao with the sick scholar.
When everyone heard it, it was just right!If he found the treasurer of the gold shop surnamed Chen before the gang of thieves, he might have found other clues.In addition, if they wait around near the gold shop, there is a great chance that they can catch the gang of thieves directly.
Everyone felt that it was a godsend, so they went back to Anzhai first.
While walking, old man Feng asked Zhan Zhao, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Eat." Zhan Zhao emphasized with a smile, "Eat the Seven Treasures of Heavenly Stars."
The fourth son also nodded, "Yes! The Heavenly Star Seven Treasures are scary but delicious."
"Hahaha." The old man smiled happily and nodded, "I've already eaten it, that's good, I'll tell Jiuniang and the others not to prepare it, and it will save a lot of trouble."
Zhan Zhao nodded, "That's right, we ate for a table, and we ate all seven things."
The old man nodded in satisfaction, hugging the fourth son and leading the little Liangzi, laughing and laughing as he walked.
Bai Yutang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If he really came to the Demon Palace and was forced to eat a pot of Heavenly Star Seven Treasures, it would be terrible. What the old man said just now was right, this cat hurts people...
Back in Anzhai, Bai Yutang came out of the shower, but Zhan Zhao was nowhere to be found in the room.
He just sat down to wipe his hair, when he saw the door opened, Zhan Zhao ran in stoopingly, and closed the door.
Bai Yutang saw that Zhan Zhao was wearing a big bathrobe, and there seemed to be something hidden in the bathrobe.
Zhan Zhao ran to the door, took out a soup can and stuffed it into his hand.
Open the lid during the day, and you will see a jar of millet porridge.The porridge is light, with shredded chicken and green vegetables in it.
Zhan Zhao smiled and climbed onto the bed, lying on the quilt and rubbing Xiao Wu's big head beside the bed.
Bai Yutang was holding the porridge jar, and it happened that he was also hungry, and while drinking it, he felt emotional - this porridge contained shredded chicken, scallops and frangipani, the taste was just right for the taste, but someone put half a catty into the salty porridge Honey?It's so sweet!
Just arrived at the teahouse opposite the restaurant, ordered a pot of tea to rinse his mouth, after thinking for a while, Bai Yutang asked the old man who poured the tea for him, "There are no bugs or cat feces in this tea, right?"
The old man smiled and waved his hands, "No, no... There is mint in it. I see you several times a day, and they all came out to rinse their mouths after eating the Heavenly Star Seven Treasures Banquet."
Bai Yutang took a sip of the tea helplessly, it was indeed refreshing and delicious.
Seeing Bai Yutang drinking tea, the old man smiled and bowed to him, "Congratulations."
Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, looked at the old man, "Congratulations?"
The old man looked at him puzzled, "Didn't your sweetheart's parents force you to eat the Heavenly Star and Seven Treasures Banquet? You eat it to show that your family agrees."
Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, then looked at the old man, "What... do you agree?"
"Oh." The old man stroked his beard, "Did your sweetheart explain it to you?"
As soon as Bai Yutang heard the word "sweetheart", Zhan Zhao's face popped into his head, and he felt better, so he asked the old man, "Tell me in detail?"
The old man held the teapot and said, "Although the Seven Stars Banquet is actually quite expensive, the taste is also very good. The locals can get used to eating it, especially the children, but the outsiders definitely can't get used to it. It's not because the taste is bad. It's scary."
Bai Yutang nodded - empathizing.
"You must have courage to eat the banquet of the seven treasures of heavenly stars." The old man said, "If a foreigner wants to marry a local, there is a custom to eat the banquet of seven treasures of heavenly stars, which shows that he has the courage to share weal and woe, especially men, who have a sense of responsibility Performance. Now young people don’t pay much attention to it, but old people still care about it. It is said that after eating the seven treasures of heaven and earth, there will be three gods of heaven, earth and man to take care of them, and this relationship can blossom and bear fruit. Adults will also cook for you, you have to eat at least half of the pot. The cooking at home is not as delicious as that cooked in restaurants, and often a pot of worms is delivered to your eyes. If you dare not eat it, the adults in the family Don’t be happy. I’ve eaten at the restaurant, and if my family members ask me, they’ll say they’ve already eaten, and they won’t embarrass you…”
Bai Yutang was surprised, "So there is such a saying?"
"Looking at your gentleness, I don't think you dare to eat it. Your sweetheart must have elders from Tianxing Village. I'm afraid that you will be forced to eat a pot of worms, so I brought you to a restaurant to eat." The old man smiled and stroked his beard. , "It's someone who can hurt people, what a blessing."
Bai Yu suddenly realized that this was the case, and Zhan Zhao brought a lot of people to eat together, so that if the elders in the Demon Palace asked, everyone would be able to testify that he had eaten it. It turned out that the cat was not a pure cat. Want to play a prank on him, but there is such a reason.
Bai Yutang was in a good mood, so he took out the money for the tea so that the old man would not have to look for it.
The fifth master also took a piece from the purse and gave it to the old man. He didn't carefully study whether it was silver or gold. If you buy my tea stand, you will be rich."
Bai Yutang smiled slightly, indicating that the old man doesn't mind.
However, the old man was still a little embarrassed and said, "Master, do you want to change it to a silver bank? Older people in Tianxing Village dare not accept more than one tael of gold."
Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, puzzled, "Why?"
"Hey..." The old man said helplessly, "There may be a thief hiding in Tianxing Village."
Bai Yutang looked at the old man, waiting for him to continue.
"The old people in Tianxing Village are used to giving gold ornaments when they hire their daughters. There are treasures everywhere around this village, and the dealers are good. Who doesn't have any dry goods?" steal."
Bai Yutang frowned, "Didn't you report to the official?"
"Report it!" The old man said helplessly, "It was still stolen! Besides, the government couldn't catch any thieves, and if they didn't kill anyone, they would lose money, so they didn't pay much attention to it."
Bai Yutang thought for a while, and then asked, "I heard that a peasant woman was robbed and killed before..."
"Oh! It must have been done by one person!" The old man said with certainty.
"So sure?" Bai Yutang wondered.

Except for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, everyone else felt baffled.
Zhan Zhao looked at the sky and pretended not to hear.
Bai Yutang walked with a smile on his face, pretending not to hear.
……
After leaving the restaurant, everyone rushed to Li Yuanwai's house.
Bai Yutang thought about it as he walked, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the cat was caring.
Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang looking at him while walking, that look...
Guard Zhan was a little puzzled—did Yutang go out to drink herbal tea or ecstasy soup just now?so happy?
The Li Mansion is just a few steps away.
Ouyang knocked on the door, and not long after, a guy opened the door, poked his head out to have a look, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Yuan Li outside?" Zhan Zhao asked.
The buddy looked everyone up and down, and asked, "Why... are you looking for the master?"
Zhan Zhao took out his badge, "I'm an official..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw it from a distance, and jumped to follow.
Both of them are good at lightness kungfu, and they quickly caught up with that guy without anyone noticing.
The guy burst into a yard.
I saw a fat old woman standing at the door of the house in the courtyard, and a few maids behind her, all of them seemed anxious.
Seeing the guy running in, a girl hurriedly asked, "Is the master back?"
The guy shook his head, "No."
……
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hid behind the rockery and looked at each other—it turns out that Li Yuanwai is really not there...Then the guy didn't lie, but why are they so flustered?
The two continued to look at it, and then heard the guy continue to say, "It's an official post."
The old lady was taken aback, "Officer? Why did the official come? Something happened to the master?"
"Ma'am, don't think wildly, it won't happen!" Several girls hurriedly persuaded.
"Oh..." The old lady seemed to be a little broken, she couldn't stand still, and started crying, "What is this called, it's a thing like this when I'm old... The master has been gone for two hours. Why don't you just hit another one when you come back, in case something happens to him... Oh, I can't live!"
Several maids hurriedly persuaded him.
The clerk also said, "Madam, don't be impulsive. The master has always told you not to report to the official. If you report to the official, you will not be able to get the things back, and the master will still be in danger."
All the people in the family were anxious like ants on a hot pot, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also at a loss - what's wrong?
Just wondering, I saw an old man coming from the other side.
The old man was wearing black casual clothes, he looked quite wealthy, and he was carrying a small bag in his hand.
As soon as he entered the yard, he frowned, "Why are you crying! I told you to keep quiet!"
"Master!" Several servants were surprised and delighted.
The old lady also clasped her hands together and said to the sky, "Amitabha!"
Li Yuanwai sent away the servant girls, entered the house with the old lady, and closed the door.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went up to the roof, lifted the tiles and continued to peek.
The old man opened the bundle, took out a brocade box from inside, opened it...in the brocade box, there was a luxurious pure gold necklace.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.
"Oh." The old lady asked the old man, "So, those thieves stole from us by mistake?"

After getting married, if the husband’s family loses something, it should be said that your daughter has ruined her husband’s family.”
"So Amitabha!" The old lady thanked the Bodhisattva again, as if she was still a little worried, "They just returned it to us? Didn't they say anything else?"
"Yes..." The old man nodded, "You have to change it at Mr. Feng's place. The people there asked me, where did you buy this set of gold ornaments."
"Isn't it the gold shop in Chengqiao? I need to ask?" the old lady wondered.
"There are at least twenty gold shops in Chengqiao. You have to ask which family it is." Helpless, the old man waved his hand, "In short, this matter is settled, you woman, don't ask!"
After speaking, I packed up my things and got ready to rest.
Bai Yutang frowned and was trying to figure out which gold shop it was, but felt that Zhan Zhao tugged at his sleeve and pouted to the side, which meant - withdraw!
Bai Yutang followed Zhan Zhao and left.
After leaving Li's mansion and entering the tea shop, Zhan Zhao took out the bamboo tube and released the golden shell before sitting down.
Not long after, there was a sudden gust of wind outside, flying sand and rocks.
Everyone looked out, and saw an old man with a white beard in a big gray robe galloping in with the wind, "Zhao Zhao!"
Zhan Zhao also greeted happily, "Master!"
The old man ran to the table and called Zhan Zhao while patting Bai Yutang's shoulder, "Oh, you're here, little Bai, ahahaha."
Everyone looked up, looked left and right, the old man looked about 70 or [-] years old, with a long white beard hanging down to his chest, smiling and cheerful.
Bai Yutang did go to the Devil's Palace before, but in a hurry, he didn't recognize most of the devil's bosses, so...
Zhan Zhao introduced, "This is rumor."
Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo raised their eyebrows.
Lin Yehuo was surprised, "Is the old man the legendary all-knowing and omnipotent gossip?"
The old man grinned triumphantly, "Yes, Hall Master Lin."
Zhao Pu was puzzled, "Words are spreading? Who is it?"
Bai Yutang said, "It's rumored that Jianghu is the one who inquires. He knows everything about Jianghu. In addition, if anyone wants to buy news or make a deal with each other, just find him separately, and he will help to make connections."
Rumor has it that he patted Bai Yutang with a smile, "Oh, you really are insightful."
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, before everyone in the Demon Palace felt that Bai Yutang had robbed their little Palace Master, but now the elders in the Demon Palace looked at Bai Yutang and thought it was smooth.
Bai Yutang seemed to understand, "Oh... just now Li Yuanwai said to ask Mr. Feng for help, did he mean you?"
Feng Chuanfeng was taken aback, "You mean Li Bi?"
Zhan Zhao pulled Old Man Feng to sit beside him, and explained the matter.
"Oh!" Feng Chuanfeng nodded, "Then Mr. Li's name is Li Bi, a liquor seller, and he knew your Aunt Jiutou. It was said that a set of gold jewelry was lost at home. It was his daughter's dowry. I want to get it back."
"Now that we've found it!" Zhan Zhao was excited, "Then do you know who those thieves are?"
"What about this?" Feng Chuanfeng said helplessly, "You also know that your Grandpa Feng is a blind man who collects money and does things without asking where he came from... I only know that there are more than one thief, and they seem to be a group of people. It was stolen wrong, it looks like a model, but it is not the real thing, so they want to know which gold shop it is from."
"Where is the city bridge?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Chengqiao is to the west of Tianxing Village, a street market in Lin County, where there are craftsmen." Zhan Zhao helped introduce, "There are hundreds of gold shops, silver shops, jade shops, ivory carving shops, etc."
"Is there such a place? Then you have to go and see!" Pang Yu regained his energy, and Bao Yan also nodded.
"Many craftsmen in the city bridge are shady. The street market is open during the day and closed at night. No one will spend the night in the shop. Moreover, the shop has no number plate and is often changed. When the work is done, they will find reliable ones. People deliver it to your door, so you don’t need to pick it up.” Zhan Zhao said, “If you want to visit, you can only wait until tomorrow morning. If you don’t know someone well, it’s hard to find someone.”
"It's so chaotic, and it's all gold, silver and jade. Are you afraid of running away with money or encountering scammers?" Bao Yan asked.
Feng Chuanfeng shook his head, "No one has the guts!"
People are curious.
Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Chengqiao is the territory of Tuozi Ming, he knows who the seller is, and whoever dares to deceive him will die."
Everyone was surprised.
The fourth son was curious, "Ming hunchback?"
"I have heard of this." Zhao Pu said, "He is also from the Demon Palace, right?"
"Yes." Feng Chuanfeng nodded.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Ming Tuozi is a nickname. This person's real name is unknown, only his surname is Ming, and he is also a hunchback, so he is called Ming Tuozi.This person is also nicknamed Yan Wanggui, and he was a villain who was famous all over the world back then, and one of the top ten masters of the Demon Palace.In addition, because this person is good at tracking, once he catches his eye, it will be like provoking the soul behind him, and he will find you at the end of the world, so this person is the first person on the list of "least provoked" in Jianghu.
Bai Yutang was very curious and asked Zhan Zhao, "How good is his kung fu?"
"It's about the same as little Uncle Wu." Zhan Zhao said.
Everyone was horrified—how many such peerless masters are there in the Demon Palace?
"The only thing that member Li knows is that his wife found a shopkeeper named Chen to make this set of gold ornaments." Old Man Feng said.
"That means..." Zhan Zhao clapped his hands, "Uncle Ming knows which shop it is?"
"That's for sure." Old Man Feng nodded. Tomorrow is just the day to settle the accounts. He probably will go to Chengqiao with the sick scholar.
When everyone heard it, it was just right!If he found the treasurer of the gold shop surnamed Chen before the gang of thieves, he might have found other clues.In addition, if they wait around near the gold shop, there is a great chance that they can catch the gang of thieves directly.
Everyone felt that it was a godsend, so they went back to Anzhai first.
While walking, old man Feng asked Zhan Zhao, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Eat." Zhan Zhao emphasized with a smile, "Eat the Seven Treasures of Heavenly Stars."
The fourth son also nodded, "Yes! The Heavenly Star Seven Treasures are scary but delicious."
"Hahaha." The old man smiled happily and nodded, "I've already eaten it, that's good, I'll tell Jiuniang and the others not to prepare it, and it will save a lot of trouble."
Zhan Zhao nodded, "That's right, we ate for a table, and we ate all seven things."
The old man nodded in satisfaction, hugging the fourth son and leading the little Liangzi, laughing and laughing as he walked.
Bai Yutang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If he really came to the Demon Palace and was forced to eat a pot of Heavenly Star Seven Treasures, it would be terrible. What the old man said just now was right, this cat hurts people...
Back in Anzhai, Bai Yutang came out of the shower, but Zhan Zhao was nowhere to be found in the room.
He just sat down to wipe his hair, when he saw the door opened, Zhan Zhao ran in stoopingly, and closed the door.
Bai Yutang saw that Zhan Zhao was wearing a big bathrobe, and there seemed to be something hidden in the bathrobe.
Zhan Zhao ran to the door, took out a soup can and stuffed it into his hand.
Open the lid during the day, and you will see a jar of millet porridge.The porridge is light, with shredded chicken and green vegetables in it.
Zhan Zhao smiled and climbed onto the bed, lying on the quilt and rubbing Xiao Wu's big head beside the bed.
Bai Yutang was holding the porridge jar, and it happened that he was also hungry, and while drinking it, he felt emotional - this porridge contained shredded chicken, scallops and frangipani, the taste was just right for the taste, but someone put half a catty into the salty porridge Honey?It's so sweet!
