Dragon Pattern Roll Set

When Zhan Zhao and others came to the door of the pawnshop where Chen Yuanwai stole, they saw many people watching.

Chen Yuanwai stood at the door, blushing and looking very angry, and was complaining to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, "Didn't you say that the Imperial City Army stepped up its guard at night? Why are you still throwing it away? This is 100 million taels! What are the city troops doing?"

Zhan Zhao heard the general idea and smiled slightly.

Bai Yutang looked at him, "What's so funny?"

Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi were walking hand in hand, and they heard people around them discussing that this was outrageous, pointing their fingers at the Imperial City Army.

Lin Ye didn't listen very well, "It's strange, shouldn't Kaifeng Mansion be blamed for not maintaining law and order for things lost in Kaifeng City? Why are they all staring at the Imperial City Army? It's not the policemen who serve as soldiers, and it's theirs to catch thieves Care?"

Yi Yi followed Lin Yehuo and looked back after walking a few steps.

Lin Yehuo pulled her to his side and said, "Don't keep looking back."

Yi Yi said, "Brother, someone is following us."

Lin Yehuo smiled, "So you can't always look back, what if you don't follow?"

"Oh." Yiyi nodded, not looking back.

In the front, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had already noticed that someone was following them. The person following them was average, dressed in plain clothes, and had no idea what the purpose was.

"Master Zhan is here."

Several yamen servants were dizzy from Yuanwai Chen's annoyance, and when they saw Zhan Zhao coming, they hurriedly yelled.

When the people talking around saw people coming from Kaifeng mansion, they all waited to see and solve the case. At the same time, everyone did not forget to sigh...Look at the style of Kaifeng mansion, it is extraordinary to come out with dragons and tigers to investigate the case!

As soon as Chen Yuanwai saw Zhan Zhao, he restrained himself a bit, changed his dissatisfaction just now, put on a wronged face, haha ​​bitterly, and said to Zhan Zhao who walked in front of him, "Master Zhan, you have to make the decision for me. ! My life savings are gone!"

Zhan Zhao nodded with a smile, always kindly, "Don't worry, old man, this case is easy to solve."

Member Chen was taken aback, and looked at Zhan Zhao—easy?

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, and continued, "There are very few theft cases in Kaifeng recently, and most of them are murder cases. Your case is clean, and you lost 100 million taels without even hurting a nursing home. You can do this The son is definitely an acquaintance."

As Zhan Zhao spoke, he saw that Yuanwai Chen's expression was a little stiff.

"Don't worry, old man." Zhan Zhao put his shoulders on the old man's shoulders, and pointed to the Meow Meow Building in the distance, "See? There are people watching me at my small building for twelve hours a day, and they are all from the Nine Princes Army The sentries in the middle of the war change every two hours, when did you lose this money?"

"Uh..." Member Chen stood there stupidly, looking at the Miaomiao Building in the distance.

Wang Chao came over and said, "Master Zhan, I checked the patrol schedule of the Imperial City Army yesterday, and the case should have happened during these hours, but two of the times overlapped with the patrol hours of the Kaifeng government officials, so it could only happen on May [-]." Around the time of the watch. There is a watchman on the watch around the fifth watch, and we have already gone to the watchman to see if he has seen anything."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and comforted Yuanwai Chen with a disheveled face, "Don't worry, Yuanwai Chen, I'll send someone to find the sentinel who was on shift at five o'clock last night, and there will be clues if you ask."

After finishing speaking, Zhan Zhao greeted the yamen servant and said that he would go down to the treasury to have a look.

Chen Yuanwai stood there in a daze, and asked the people around him, "Well... there are guards in that small building? Can you watch it? Did you not notice something..."

The people around said indifferently, "Those sentries are guarding the checkpoints at the border. Do you think they can stand it?"

Member Chen was taken aback by the tone of his words, turned around and jumped in fright...it turned out that it was Bai Yutang who asked.

Bai Yutang looked at him, and suddenly asked, "When did the money get delivered?"

"Just...just yesterday afternoon." Chen Yuanwai said tremblingly. In fact, Bai Yutang was not an official post, and there was no need to answer the questions he asked, but Chen Yuanwai was out of control.

Bai Yutang continued to ask with a blank expression, "Walking by water?"

"That's right." Chen Yuanwai nodded, "I took the car to the pier yesterday afternoon."

Bai Yutang looked at him, "What carriage? How many carts did you pull in total?"

"Uh..." Member Chen opened his mouth, thought for a while, and said, "That...it's just an ordinary carriage, pulling more than twenty carts."

Bai Yutang looked at him again, turned around and went in without saying a word.

Member Chen was at a loss, turned around, and saw two children standing beside him, they were Xiaosi and Xiao Liang.

"Yo." Chen Yuanwai hurriedly saluted, "Little Prince, Your Highness."

The fourth son was always very polite, and Xiao Liang was not easy to deal with when he said hello to Yuanwai Chen. He and Zhao Pu were mentors and apprentices, and the members of the Zhao family army were relatively close to him.Xiao Liangzi is a big kid, and he always feels that Yuanwai Chen is not a good person. He probably negotiated with someone to find fault with Ouyang.

With his hands behind his back, Xiao Liangzi looked the old man up and down, then shook his head.

The old man was slightly taken aback, then approached with a smile and asked, "Your Highness, what are you laughing at?"

Lin Yehuo was on the side. Don't look at Xiao Liang as a wild child, but he is the son of the wolf king Xiao Tonghai. He is the prince of the wolf king castle. No wonder the old man called him His Highness.

Xiao Liangzi shook his head and sighed, "Oh... some people are going to be unlucky."

The old man was taken aback, "Who is unlucky?"

Xiao Liangzi squinted his eyes and looked sympathetic, "Yesterday, my big brother Ouyang just took office, and someone made him suffer. Isn't this an obvious embarrassment for him?"

The old man opened his mouth, "Uh..."

"Tsk tsk." Xiao Liangzi shook his head, "I think it must have been done by an acquaintance."

The fourth son nodded, "Yes, Daddy also said that it must have been done by an acquaintance."

Xiao Liangzi sighed, and whispered gossip to Chen Yuanwai, "You don't know, it's really... tsk, whoever is caught by him will be finished when Brother Ouyang gets angry."

Chen Yuanwai swallowed, "Then what... I can't tell, General Ouyang usually looks very kind."

"Amicable?!" Xiao Liangzi turned his tone up a bit, "You don't know, old man! Brother Ouyang is a murderer without blinking an eye!"

The old man was startled, "Killing people without blinking an eye?"

Lin Yehuo looked at Xiao Liangzi silently, and said to himself, is it okay for you to say that about the generals of the Great Song Dynasty?

……

In the Nine Kings Mansion, Ouyang, who was about to treat guests, suddenly raised his face and sneezed loudly.

Zhao Pu, who was pouring tea for the empress dowager at the table, gave him a disgusted look, which meant - take medicine for a cold!Hey infected my mother!

Ouyang walked out rubbing his nose, and asked Zou Liang who was expressionless, "Did someone say something bad about me?"

Zou Liang heard Yingwei talk about the theft of Chen Yuanwai's treasury before, but he and Zhao Pu didn't tell Ouyang. When he asked, they just smiled, "It's true that someone is unlucky."

"Who's going to be unlucky?" Ouyang asked curiously.

Zou Liang looked at his heartless appearance, but felt that it would be good for Zhan Zhao to teach Chen Yuanwai and his group a lesson, at least to make an example of others, and see who would play tricks in the future.

As he was walking out, a few people came in front of him.

Ouyang and Zou Liang obediently moved out of the way to salute.

Who is so majestic here?It's Dadan.

When the old man saw his daughter, his face was full of spring breeze, and now he walked with wind.

Dadan was followed by a few clansmen, all of whom seemed to be heirs. These people were about the same age as Zhao Pu, and some of them were childhood playmates. They had already gotten acquainted with Ouyang and the others within less than a day.

A group of people greeted each other and entered the yard.

Zou Liang continued to walk out, but Ouyang looked back while walking.

"Hey." Zou Liang tugged at him, "What are you looking at, you are the commander of the Imperial City Army anyway, don't look around when you walk."

Ouyang followed and asked, "Is Dadan's totem a spider?"

Zou Liang looked disgusted, "Who would use a spider as a totem?"

Ouyang scratched his head, "I see quite a few spider tattoos on the back of their necks, they're pretty pretty."

Zou Liangxin said that the tattooed spider is behind the neck?But he didn't think much, and went out with Ouyang.

……

Put Ouyang and the others aside, let's talk about Zhan Zhao who entered the vault.

Looking around, Zhan Zhao found that the underground treasury looked more grand than the woodshed used to store money in the White Mansion.

There was a lock on the door, but it was just an ordinary lock. Zhan Zhao felt that if this member really used this kind of lock to lock the vault, then his problem of treating money like dung should be no less serious than Bai Yutang.The warehouse was empty, and there was a strange smell, like musty and something that had been piled up for a long time.

Yaoyao was going to follow Zhan Zhao in, but she probed for a sniff, then retracted, squatting on top and fluttering her wings.

Zhan Zhao touched his nose lightly, and smiled—he said that there is no guard for the gold in this cellar, and it is just a cellar for miscellaneous things.The pawn shop not only accepts gold, silver and treasures, but also other things. Of course, it is natural to find a good place to store the particularly valuable antique calligraphy and paintings. Usually, those who enter the pawn shop are too poor to uncover the pot, and the things to be pawned are all kinds of strange things. Yes, where are these things?Naturally, it was thrown into the cellar.So there are no guards near the cellar, and the door locks are very common... How could someone deposit millions of taels of silver here.

At this time, Bai Yutang also came down, and told Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "The old man is lying, one million taels of silver, an ordinary carriage with more than twenty carts can't finish it."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "Where's the bank note?"

"Who would hide the banknotes in the cellar? What if the mouse gnawed them?" Bai Yutang reminded, "I don't think the old man expected that there are guards upstairs at Miaomiao, and he was scared by Xiao Liangzi just now. Now he's a little confused."

"I suspect that there is no such money at all. It may just be some other goods. The old man made up a lie and reported a false case." Zhan Zhao said, "This can explain why so much money disappeared without anyone noticing it." .”

Bai Yutang nodded, "But no matter how stupid a person is, he knows that Kaifeng Mansion will not let it go, so in the end, the money will definitely be found."

"As long as the money is found outside the city or some other place, and it's not found by people from Kaifeng Mansion and Ouyang...then their goal has been achieved."

"So right now, there is a million taels of silver stored somewhere?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao nodded with a smile, "It's not difficult to catch Chen Yuanwai, but the difficulty is to lure those who conspire with him."

When the two of them went out, they saw Hei Ying leading a few sentinels from the Zhao family army, who were found by the yamen servants to cooperate with Zhan Zhao in acting.

Zhan Zhao asked in front of Chen Yuanwai, and the black shadow put away his usual hippie smile, and looked at Chen Yuanwai suspiciously, "Last night, Kaifeng mansion was calm and there was no car or horse coming in and out, so you took away 100 million taels? Old man, are you reporting a false case?"

Member Chen was startled, his face flushed, and he was busy arguing, "Oh... I've been doing business in Kaifeng for decades! How could I report a false case? I transported the silver from the dock to the vault yesterday, and all the guys here saw it. on."

While talking, the old man pointed at the sky and swore, "Old man, if I have even half a lie, I will be struck with thunder..."

Before he could finish his oath, Hei Ying asked Zhan Zhao, "Are you in charge of this case, Kaifeng government or the military camp?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Uh...it's Kaifeng Mansion..."

Heiying raised his eyebrows, "You will be under the administration of Kaifeng within twelve hours, and will be handed over to the barracks after twelve hours. General Ouyang will personally try it. The general has said that it is determined that the ghost did it!" As he said, he ordered Chen Yuanwai , "Don't do all your business for the time being. Anyone who knows where the money is, hand it over to the military camp, and we will interrogate it!"

"Interrogation...interrogation?" The old man jumped up and looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao spread his hands, what does that mean—this is how the military camp works.

Heiying left after explaining, and said to his subordinates as he walked, "General Zou said, if anyone finds out who is responsible, he will drag him to feed the dogs. Don't feed the [-] hounds in the barracks tonight."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang suppressed their laughter, and looked at Mr. Chen. Sure enough, the old man looked worried, and he must have been terrified.

"Chen Yuanwai." Zhan Zhao called him.

"Uh...huh?" Member Chen raised his head, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "That...Master Zhan, you should check it first, I'll go and rest for a while."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Okay, okay."

The old man hurried away.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao exchanged glances, Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow at Shark - follow him!Seeing what he was doing, Shark followed him.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked the yamen servants to search for clues, and not long after, Shark came back, and Shark stretched out his hands and gently tapped Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's foreheads...the two saw Yuanwai Chen in an alley, following him. A young man said, "Master Xu, is something going to happen? This...Kaifeng mansion used to have people stationed on the roof every night. They must be suspicious of me now!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—it's strange!This Mr. Xu is not a military general in the Imperial Army, nor is he the father of a general of the Imperial Army, but a civil servant, and his rank is not high. What's going on?

Shark continued to nod the heads of the two of them, and what they saw was what Shark saw——Master Xu squinted at Member Chen, and said coldly, "You must do what your lord told you. In the end, otherwise, you know the consequences."

"But..." Chen Yuanwai was crying.

That Master Xu interrupted him in a cold voice, "So far, the plan has been implemented smoothly, just keep pretending and don't reveal your secrets." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, judging from his body skills... That Master Xu's kung fu is not bad, not at all. Like an ordinary civil servant.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "It seems that we almost fell into the trap of the other party."

Bai Yutang nodded, "Someone saw that Ouyang's new official was taking office, and some people in the Imperial City Army were arguing about it, so they deliberately set up such a trick?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Judging from the tone of the speech, Chen Yuanwai may not be colluding with others, but more like being forced."

"Master Xu..." Zhan Zhao suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Bai Yutang, "Is there something behind the neck?"

Bai Yutang recalled it for a while, and frowned, "Like a black thing...a bug?"

"I look like a spider." Zhan Zhao said, "It's covered by his hair, so I can't see clearly. Do you have a tattoo?"

"I want to see clearly!" Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang, pulled him out, and got on Yaoyao's back.

Yaoyao spread her wings and flew into the sky.

Below, Lin Yehuo raised his face, looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were flying away riding a dragon, and shook his head, "These two people have been talking about each other lately."

Just watching, Lin Yehuo felt Yi Yi tugging at his clothes.

Lin Yehuo lowered her head, and Yi Yi said, "Brother, a ghost flashed past just now."

"Ghost?" Lin Yehuo was taken aback, "The two of us who followed us just now?"

"No, those two are still in the alley, and I saw a figure flashing, moving quickly and silently."

Lin Yehuo was wondering, when the fourth son tugged at him and pointed to the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the little fourth son's finger, and saw in the distance, on the balcony on the second floor of Taibai's residence, Tianzun was pointing at them, as if greeting a kitten or puppy.

Lin Yehuo looked helpless, stretched out his arms to pick up the fourth son, and ran to Taibaiju with Yi Yi and Xiao Liang.

……

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat on Yaoyao's back and overlooked the streets and alleys of Kaifeng...the two turned around but couldn't find the Master Xu, thinking that their movements were too fast.

Yaoyao landed in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and the two found Zhao Pu, and briefly talked about the progress of the case. After listening to Zhan Zhao's description, Grand Master Pang, who came to help, remembered, "Master Xu you are talking about seems to be called Xu Ren? He is a civil servant." , can’t work hard.”

"Speaking of it." The Eighth Prince also said, "Xu Ren is the proud student of Mr. Huang who passed away just a few days ago, and he is also prepared to participate in this spring exam."

"Is that a scholar?" Zhao Pu asked, "Kung fu is so good? Is it a fake?"

"Does he have a tattoo on the back of his neck?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Everyone looked at each other, "A tattoo? A civil servant?"

"That's not a tattoo, that's a soldier spider."

At this time, voices came from outside.

When everyone turned their heads, they saw Yinhou Tianzun and the others coming in, followed by Lin Yueyi pulling the fourth son and Liangzi, but Lin Yehuo was not there.

"Sick pig?" Zhan Zhao and the others looked bewildered.

"It's a soldier spider." Yin Hou said, looking at Tianzun, "Did you really see the soldier spider king just now?"

Tianzun nodded, "Yes! That lunatic saw it too."

At this time, everyone found that not only Lin Yehuo was not there, but also Master Wusha and Yao Changtian.

"Who is the soldier spider king?" Zhao Pu asked.

Yin Hou laughed and patted Zhao Pu on the shoulder, "You and Zhao Zhen better be careful."

Zhao Pu wondered, "Watch out for what?"

"If there is anyone in this world who hates Zhao's royal family the most, it must be the Soldier Spider King." Yin Hou said, a little confused, "But the Soldier Spider King is definitely dead, how did he come back to life? "

"Will it be the same as last time?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's not like!" Tianzun shook his head, "I'm wondering if it's a descendant? Or..."

"Or what?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Resurrected from the dead?"

"Nothing is coming back from the dead, don't think about it." Lu Tianhan waved his hand.

At this time, Ouyang Shaozheng came in. Seeing the crowd gathered, he was a little puzzled, and asked Zhao Pu, "The group of people who eat are here, when will it start?"

"Let's go now." Zhao Pu walked out with him, asking, "Where's Dadan?"

"After drinking tea with the concubine just now, I went to the palace." Ouyang replied.

Zhao Pu nodded.

"By the way." Ouyang also asked a gossip, "What's the name of your tall, thin nephew, Dadan?"

"Gerlang." Zhao Pu replied.

"Yesterday he was very kind, but today he is very aggressive..." Ouyang was afraid that he would neglect Zhao Pu's relatives, so he asked, "Is it because he is not well greeted or not used to the food from the Central Plains?"

Zhao Pu was taken aback, "No way, Geerlang has a good temper."

"Is this a good temper?" Ouyang said to himself, "With a stinky face, Zou Liang didn't respond to him, and so did the others."

"Aren't you used to living in the Central Plains?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were going to the Taixue to investigate Xu Ren, and they walked out together.

Ouyang spread his hands, "God knows, Zou Liang asked me to ask, if they are not used to living in it, I can prepare a bigger tent for them, but the tattoo is pretty cool, I don't know where I got it, I want to get one too, the tattoo is only How about Kirin?"

Zhao Pu stopped and looked at Ouyang, "Tattoos? You said Geer Lang has tattoos on his body?"

Ouyang blinked, pointed at his neck, "here."

Zhao Pu frowned, "It's the first day you met me, Dadan? It's not like you don't know that Dadan doesn't allow people from his tribe to get tattoos."

Ouyang was taken aback and frowned, "Isn't that black spider on the back of their necks a tattoo?"

Everyone was stunned.

"The tattoo is a spider?" Zhan Zhao asked hastily.

Ouyang nodded.

"When did my Dadan enter the palace?" Zhao Pu pulled him, "Why did he enter the palace today?"

"The emperor asked him to talk about something..." Ouyang also felt that something was wrong, "I've been away for a while."

"Oops!" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got on Yaoyao's back and went straight to the palace. Tianzun followed and said, "Be careful with the soldier spiders!"

"Not too good." Yin Hou seemed a little worried, "Zhao Zhen is in danger..."

Zhao Pu and Ouyang looked at each other and rushed out together.

……

The generals of the Imperial City Army who came to the banquet were at a loss. Reality Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed out, and then Zhao Pu and Ouyang, who were treating guests to dinner, also rushed out. Finally, Mr. Gongsun's fourth son and Xiao Liangzi all rushed out. Do you still eat this meal?
