Dragon Pattern Roll Set

The next morning, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got up and went out, and saw Ye Zhiqiu and a group of children doing morning exercise in the yard.

Ye Zhiqiu has only been here for a day and has been officially promoted to become the king of children in Kaifeng Mansion. Probably because he is not tall and has a baby face, so the children are closer to him.Not only children, but even the cats and dogs in the yard like him, especially the older women, they think he is cute.Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiqiu was also very popular among the maids in Kaifeng Mansion, probably Kaifeng Mansion usually looked handsome and tall, but it was very fresh to have a small man here.

Ye Zhiqiu felt the love of the girls, and felt that Kaifeng Mansion is really a good place... So he decided to hang around and eat.

Bai Yutang tilted his head, and reminded Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Your position as the number one cutest pet in Kaifeng is about to be shaken."

Zhan Zhaoqian looked at Bai Yutang with a smile, what does that mean - yes, yes, what should we do?

Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er came in holding the breakfast, followed by Bai Fu.

"Fifth Master." Baifu came to Bai Yutang's side and said, "Second Master and Fourth Master will be at the pier at noon."

Bai Yutang was surprised, "So fast?"

"As soon as the second master heard that Xingtian was found, he naturally came here overnight." Bai Fu said, and took a list to Zhao Pu who came out of the house and yawned, "My lord, the goods list, the things follow the second master. ship together."

"Oh? Already here?" Zhao Pu took a look and nodded with satisfaction, "It's so fast!"

Bai Fule laughed, "Naturally, the prince wants it."

Zhan Zhao looked over curiously, and asked Zhao Pu, "Shopping?"

Zhao Pu nodded, "The new warship arrives at the dock today. When Qiao Guang visited the dock on Xingkong Island, he said that he saw a lot of water cannons and crossbow racks designed by Han Erye himself, so he ordered a batch. "

Bai Yutang nodded, Zhao Pu also had face, his second brother designed this kind of thing for his own use and never sold it, so Zhao Pu was the only one who could ask him for it.

Zhao Pu smiled and said to Bai Yutang, "The price is also cheap, the second brother is really interesting, hehe."

Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, his second brother was enough, Zhao Pu called him Brother Sheng.

Gongsun ran out of the room excitedly, and greeted Zhao Pu, "Hurry up and eat, and go to the pier after eating."

Zhan Zhao and the others sat down at the table, and Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun curiously, "Are you going to see the boat too?"

"Well, the same boat came with a batch of medicinal materials I wanted." Gongsun pulled Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi who had climbed up on the stool, and stuffed them into their mouths.

"Daddy, do you want to go to Yiming Pavilion to listen to books after breakfast?" The fourth son pointed at Gongsun with a spoon.

Only then did Gongsun recall that they heard that a very interesting storyteller came to Yiming Pavilion a few days ago, telling stories about Jianghu, and Yiming Pavilion had a good business, but once he came, they couldn't even reserve a seat.Pang Yu asked someone to help him earlier, so he booked a table, and agreed to take the fourth son there today...

Gongsun clasped his hands together to beg for mercy from the fourth son, but he forgot about it.

The fourth son narrowed his eyes to look at his father - that's all he knew.

Gongsun stared at his son eagerly, "Otherwise... Daddy should go with you?"

The fourth son waved his little hand and muttered, "Forget it, a man's career is the most important thing."

"puff……"

Zhao Pu spat out a mouthful of porridge, and the others laughed too.

After the fourth son finished speaking, he looked up at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, what does that mean—are you two coming with me?

Zhan Zhao shook his head straight, and said to himself, Mr. Cat, my career is the most important thing for me.

Bai Yutang said to Xiao Si, "Today, Mao'er and I will go to the small lake in the western suburbs with Zhou Guang to find that old man about Ehu Island."

The fourth son blinked and pouted to look at Tianzun—whether Zunzun who is listening to a play will like it?

Unexpectedly, Tianzun pointed to Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, expressing that he was also curious about Ehudao, and he wanted to go fishing more than listening to books.

The fourth son went to visit Yinhou again.

Yin Hou was embarrassed, "I asked Wusha and Weichen to drink..."

The fourth son narrowed his eyes—the two big monks went to drink again...

Xiao Liangzi made a steamed bun for Xiao Sizi, "Jin'er, why don't we take Xiao Mantou with them?"

Pang Yu said, "One table can seat eight people! Go for a few more people, it's hard to decide, so don't waste it!"

Gongsun is in a hurry - no one can find someone to take care of the child!

At this time, Lin Yehuo raised his hand, "I'll go, I'm free, and today Yiyi wants to practice the piano without me." As he spoke, Huofeng did not forget to slander—the mute went to the pier early in the morning up.

Gongsun breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Lin Yehuo to help take care of the two children.

The fourth son and Luo Yuan Luo Ying were already acquainted, so they asked the siblings if they wanted to go together.

Luo Yuan nodded, but Luo Ying hesitated... After all, the two of them are being hunted down, how about going out to play now?

Seeing that Luo Yuan was in trouble, Ye Zhiqiu put a bun for her and patted her on the head, "Don't worry."

Zhan Zhao also nodded, "This is Kaifeng, don't be afraid, it's just right for anyone who dares to deliver it to your door."

Luo Ying nodded.

Chen Xing'er also felt distressed when Yue Ya'er saw that she was thin and still wearing men's clothing, she must have suffered a lot for a pretty girl.

So the two girls took Luo Ying to change into a nice dress.

Master Bao took the time to have breakfast with everyone, and he was quite concerned about the experience of the two children, and told Zhan Zhao, "This case must be investigated clearly, who is behind the tricks."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and sent Wang Chao Mahan to monitor Weitong. In addition, Kaifeng Mansion also arranged many eyeliners to monitor people in Tianbaotang.

After dinner, everyone started their busy day.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu took Ouyang Long, Qiao Guang and Zou Liang to the pier to wait for the boat, and helped Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao pick up Han Zhang and Jiang Ping.

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Tianzun took Zhou Guang to the western suburbs to find the old man who was fishing.

Master Bao continued to work on the spring test, Yin Hou went to drink with friends, and finally... Pang Yu, Bao Yan, Lin Yehuo, and Ye Zhiqiu took the four children to Yiming Pavilion to drink tea and listen to books.

The soldiers divided into several groups and acted separately. Before going out, everyone thought that it would be a smooth day, but they never expected that all kinds of unpredictable troubles were waiting for them ahead.

……

The arrival of a new ship at the pier today is a very grand event, and there are a lot of ships. Zhao Pu brought some sailors and many boatmen to inspect the ships.

Zhao Zhen also said today that he wants to see the new ship, and it is estimated that it will arrive at noon.The emperor was on tour, although he just walked around the door of Kaifeng's house, but he could still feel a tense atmosphere on the street early in the morning.

Long Qiaoguang and Zou Liang led people to the pier early in the morning to do some preparations.

Kaifeng's wharf is divided into inner and outer parts. After all, it is a river port rather than a sea port, so the scale is not that big.The inner wharf is near the water army village, while the outer wharf is slightly larger, in the south of the city, connected to the canal, and many ships come in and out every day.

The water army's wharf in Kaifeng is actually only a temporary drill, because the water army barracks and larger wharves along the coast are under construction, and it will take at least a year for them to be fully completed.The strength of the water army is also quite weak, and they can only be effective after they are all brought to Kaifeng for training.

Zhao Pu is one head and two heads for the navy. In short, when you have a ship and a man, let's practice first.

When they arrived at the pier, everyone was a little dumbfounded. The pier was really lively early in the morning.

All kinds of merchant ships loading and unloading goods entered the port before dawn, and now there are at least a thousand people loading and unloading goods on the wharf.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen sent several officials in charge of water transportation to help communicate and make room to wait for the warships to enter the port.

Gongsun discussed with several ship owners how to move the ship, while Zhao Pu and other generals watched from the sidelines. Gongsun is not only smart but also knows many dialects. Let's talk.

When the merchant ships at the dock were almost moved, everyone found that there were still several large ships moored at important positions entering and leaving the port.

Zhao Pu asked Mr. Wang, who had brought the water transport, "What kind of ships are those three?"

Lord Wang frowned slightly, and told Zhao Pu, "It doesn't look like a merchant ship."

Zhao Pu was a little puzzled. These three ships were all high-rise ships, one with two stories and two with three stories.

"Is it a private boat?" Long Qiaoguang was a little puzzled, "There are uniform emblems on the boat, does it belong to the same family?"

"This is the boat of the Four Rivers Gang." Lord Wang told everyone, "The Four Rivers Gang is a Jianghu sect, an alliance of the Qinghe Gang, the Red River Gang, the Heihe Gang, and the Baihe Gang. of……"

Zhao Pu nodded, and didn't bother to worry about it, "Please move the boat away from the waterway."

"Can't get in touch with the captain..." Master Wang just wiped his sweat, "I have already sent people to the Four Seas Gang to ask, but it is said that the hall master is not here, and neither is the speaker. We went to Jiangnan to talk about things together. Those servants at home I can’t be the master, and no one else from the sect is there.”

Zhao Pu frowned and looked at the others.

Long Qiaoguang rubbed his chin, "The school of Jianghu..."

Ouyang also felt a little bit interesting, "It seems that most of the elements are deliberately blocking the river. Could it be that there is hatred?"

Lord Wang was also embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and said to Zhao Pu, "That... my lord, the leader of the Four Rivers Gang is called Fang Xinglu, and he is the nephew of Fang Jie, who was originally in charge of the navy. Fang Jie has no son, so he treats his nephew as his son. Raised."

"Oh..." Zhao Pu smiled and nodded, "I see."

Ouyang and Zou Liang looked at each other, Long Qiaoguang rubbed his chin, "No wonder you don't give face."

Gongsun asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"Fang Jie used to be quite good as a navy officer...he is a talent, but he has a bad temper and likes to punish soldiers." Zhao Pu crossed his arms and said, "The soldiers who were physically punished to death by him in a fit of anger are not here. There were a few, and there were complaints in the military camp. About seven or eight years ago, one day, a woman went to Kaifeng Mansion to complain to Prime Minister Bao, saying that her son had been hanged in the military camp by Fang Jie for two days, and she would not save him. Master Bao personally went to the barracks to inquire, but Fang Jie didn’t see him, and the other soldiers didn’t dare to speak. Later, a soldier quietly told Prime Minister Bao that the reason the soldier was punished was because he accidentally broke one of Fang Jie’s legs. cup."

Gongsun frowned, "If you break a teacup, you will pay for your life?"

"That's why Fang Jie is cruel, Bao Quiteshi also found it inconceivable, but Fang Jie didn't take him seriously." Zhao Pudao, "The Fang family is well-connected in the officialdom, the family has a big business and military power, but not skillful……"

Gongsun nodded, "Unfortunately, these rights are left over from the previous dynasty, and he just ran into the time when Zhao Zhen wanted to take back those rights?"

Zhao Pu smiled.

Long Qiao said, "At that time, I happened to be returning to Kaifeng to report on my duties. The emperor asked me to bring the troops and Lord Bao into the naval barracks. But to be honest, when Master Bao sent people to arrest Fang Jie, none of the soldiers Instead, what pleaded for him was the feeling that everyone had saved their lives, but it was the fact that many soldiers came forward to testify against how many soldiers he had killed for no reason."

Gongsun asked, "Then what happened later?"

"After all, Fang Jie has military exploits. The emperor didn't want his life, but he was dismissed from all official positions and let him go back to his hometown to retire." Zhao Pu said, "Later I heard that Fang Jie committed suicide by hanging himself. So there are no more of his descendants. Became an official, changed the sect of the world... dare to do a lot."

Gongsun frowned, "Then is this boat blocking the way on purpose? Are you so bold?"

"Indeed, it should have been done sincerely." Long Qiaoguang crossed his arms.

Zou Liang asked, "Send someone to tow the boat away?"

Long Qiaoguang tilted his head and looked at the big ships, "Is it that simple?"

"I also think that if Fang Xinglu intends to cause trouble, there may be other tricks." As soon as Ouyang finished speaking, someone in front shouted, "Is this boat leaking?"

Zhao Pu frowned.

Ouyang ran to the front to have a look, and came back to tell everyone, "Those big boats are leaking and are sinking. Just now some boatmen saw that if the boat was towed, it might sink at the exit. If you don't tow the boat, you can wait a while." It will sink here... In short, it will block the entrance and exit no matter what."

Zhao Pu's complexion changed, "Mother, Fang is dying?"

"Why don't people talk about it? The person who talks about it is not here, and I don't know it. The Kaifeng Mansion has to talk about evidence in order to judge crimes. It's troublesome anyway." Ouyang sneered, "Proactively provoking, that Fang Xinglu is quite kind..."

Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu, "What should I do? If the warship is blocked outside..."

Zhao Pu was also unhappy.

Long Qiaoguang frowned and said to Zhao Pu, "The Four Rivers Gang is a gangster sect no matter what, it's a bit strange that they dare to make trouble like this."

Ouyang nodded, "I think so too, unless you really don't want to die."

Zhao Pu remained silent, staring at the three ships with fascination...

On the other side, the western suburbs.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked side by side, with Zhou Guang leading the way. This time, his three brothers who had been batoned together were also walking together. The four of them were quite cheerful, asking Tian Zun riddles, which made Tian Zun very happy.

There are many small lakes in the western suburbs, and it is indeed a good place for fishing. You can see many fishermen along the way.

Everyone stopped in front of a small hill about ten miles outside the city, and when they turned over the hill, they saw a village with large fish ponds below.

Today is probably the day of harvesting fish. The fish pond is very busy, and most of the water has been drained. The villagers are barefoot holding wire nets and collecting fish.

Zhan Zhao immediately laughed, "There are so many fish ponds! Come back and buy some fresh carp for sweet and sour?"

While Bai Yutang nodded, he inexplicably felt that Zhan Zhao sounded a bit awkward when he said the word "fish pond".Suddenly, I remembered that I heard Chen Xing'er and the others jokingly said that just by hearing the name, I knew that Mr. Zhan liked the fifth master of our family the most... the name? !

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao who was watching others catch fish with great interest, no way...

"Over there!" Bypassing several fish ponds, Zhou Guang suddenly pointed to the river bank under a small bridge in front of him.

Zhan Zhao and others looked in the direction of his finger, and saw an old man sitting on the bank with a fishing rod, looking at the water.

After seeing the old man's face clearly, Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang and asked, "Am I dazzled?"

Bai Yutang also looked at the old man in surprise, and shook his head, "No...it's really similar!"

Tianzun originally bought a jar of rice wine at a farmhouse by the side of the road, and walked over happily drinking it. When he looked up and saw the old man's appearance, the wine spewed out of his mouth with a "poof", and then everyone heard "haha Haha" came the laugh.

Turning to look, I saw Tianzun stomping his feet and pointing at the old man, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Zhou Guang and the other soldiers looked at each other.

The old man also looked up, seemingly puzzled.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also somewhat dumbfounded.

"Is this a clue?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded, "It's probably because of this reason that he escaped unharmed back then."

……

Inside the Yiming Pavilion, the largest teahouse in Kaifeng City.

Everyone arrived at the reserved seats and sat down, drinking tea and chatting, listening to the playing and singing of the hot spot, waiting for a while for the storyteller to appear on stage.

Luo Yuan and Luo Ying had never seen anything, they looked around very curiously.

Ye Zhiqiu chatted with Lin Yehuo with a teacup on his leg and one cheek resting on his cheek.

Pang Yu grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and asked Bao Yan who was talking about the books he was going to listen to today with the fourth son, "I said, little mantou, everyone is studying at home, so it's okay for you, who is about to take the spring exam, to play around?"

The fourth son also nodded, "Little Mantou hasn't studied at all these days."

Bao Yan glanced at Pang Yu, "Study of course depends on daily accumulation, what's the use of cramming at zero hour, but you, how are you preparing for the exam?"

The little marquis rubbed his chin, "It's okay, this time definitely won't be the last..."

Before he finished speaking, Pang Yu suddenly turned his face away and muttered, "Unlucky."

Bao Yan was puzzled.

Pang Yu held the cup to cover his mouth, and whispered to Bao Yan, "I have met the plague god's opponent!"

Bao Yan was puzzled, "Who?"

Pang Yu pouted at the table on the right behind him.

Bao Yan looked over curiously, and understood - indeed, he had met the opponent of the little crab.
