Dragon Pattern Roll Set

In the evening, on the streets of Kaifeng Mansion, three people walked, three very eye-catching people, forming a strange "scenery", attracting many passers-by to look around.

Which three people?

Walking in front was Tianzun with long silver hair, followed by two people, one big and one small, a big Xigulu, and sitting on Xigulu's shoulders, the little Sigulu.

The fourth son is invincibly happy now, because Xigulu's shoulders are easy to sit on and his vision is super good. He can not only sit but also stand up, as if he is on a moving rockery.

Xigulu swung his arms and walked forward. Considering his physique, the weight of the fourth son was almost negligible, and it was convenient to speak this way, and he could see the fourth son when he turned his head.After only getting along for a while, the two have become very good friends, and...they have special communication skills.

Tianzun was walking in front, and he heard a big and a small talking behind him.

Xigulu: "Little persimmon paper, what is my cauldron and your father?"

"Yes." The fourth son nodded.

"The big pot has always hated nerdy papers, and he will marry a big pot of scholars." Xigulu had an incredulous expression on his face.

"Daddy is no ordinary nerd!" The fourth son told Xigulu about various intractable diseases that Gongsun cured.

Xigulu's eyes widened when he heard it, and he asked a few words from time to time, and the passers-by who passed by the two of them wondered - which dialect did they speak?

On the roof, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who followed all the way, felt that their ears were going to be deaf. What kind of accent is so awkward.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and asked Zhao Pu, who also followed with a displeased face, "Did you teach him the Chinese language?"

Zhao Pu was struggling with the topic of "marrying in a big pot", when Zhan Zhao asked, he said, "No! There is an allusion in what he said."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were very curious - an allusion?

Zhao Pu smiled slightly, and said, "Don't look at the men in Shishi City who are afraid of women, but they are all powerful, and it is very useful to pull them out to fight. Xiao Tonghai and Gu Lieqing could be regarded as the royal family of the Liao Dynasty. In order to save their lives, they pulled out troops to form an independent country. Naturally, the King of Liao would not let them go, so he sent troops to encircle and suppress them."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, "So you sent troops to help?"

"I did send Ouyang there, but neither Wolf King Castle nor Xingshi City are good places to fight. You have also been to Wolf King Castle. That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Just the moat that stretches the sky, let alone Liaoning King, I can’t even attack you.” Zhao Pu went on to say, “The reason why Xunshi City is called Xunshicheng is because the terrain is extremely dangerous among the piles of rocks. Besides, the Wolf King and my aunt are not easy to mess with. Yes...the king of Liao sent troops to attack just as a show, so as to calm the criticism in the country... You know, the king of Liao is happier than anyone else when these two thorns are gone."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded.

"Since we can't fight, I don't need to send out soldiers, so I only sent Ouyang to Xingshi City, Zou Liang to Wolf King Fort..." Zhao Pudao, "Wolf King Fort is more practical, Zou Liang took the wolf The group passed by, and the Liao army withdrew as soon as they saw Zou Liang's flag. No one dared to provoke the wolves in the desert, right? The Wolf King Fort really became a real Wolf King Fort. Rumor has it that Xiao Tonghai was in the Wolf King Fort. The largest pack of wolves in the desert has been raised in the outskirts, and since then people in the Western Regions have taken a detour."

"What about Xingshi City?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Zhao Pu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pointed to his head, and said, "You know, the structure of that red hair is completely different from that of Zou Liang."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were curious—why is it different?

"To put it simply, that red hair is a joke!" Zhao Pu curled his lips, "Zou Liang solves the matter quickly and ruthlessly, while the red hair wants to solve the matter while having fun or making a fool of himself."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing—it was indeed Ouyang Shaozheng's style.

"Ouyang ran to Xingshi City, just when the Liao army came to call for battle... The king of Liao also spent his money, and sent Yelu Tuochun over there."

Although Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang did not fight, they had heard of this name.

"The ever-victorious general of the Liao Kingdom?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Hmm, but that's because he hasn't fought against the master before." Zhao Pu was very disdainful, "This kid is also a ghost, he will take advantage of the loopholes when he has advantages and easy battles, and he will hide himself in the name of nothing if he has no hope." Preserving the military strength... But being able to become a victorious general is somewhat skillful, although the method is a bit despicable, and the fighting is also ugly."

"Yelu Tuochun was planted in Xingshi City, right?" Bai Yutang asked, "I heard he died in battle."

"He died at the hands of 15-year-old Xigulu." Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Use the method Ouyang taught him."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were surprised.

"When Yelu Tuochun died, the morale of the Liao army was hit hard. The king of Liao seemed to feel distressed for a while, and he fell off his horse and died not long after. The bookworm said that he might have had a sudden angina pectoris." Zhao Pudao, "I think Yelu Tuochun's death had a great impact on him."

"Didn't Yelu Tuochun talk about martial arts?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "If your brother was only 15 years old, how did he win?"

Bai Yutang also asked, "Is it related to his accent?"

Zhao Pu nodded, "My brother isn't stupid at all, he's just a little bit taken aback."

"Is there such a big difference between stupid and stupefied?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"That's different!" Zhao Pu said, "Is Zou Liang stupid?"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang shook their heads.

"But to a certain extent, he is also a little stunned." Zhao Pu said, "Sometimes it can be said to be stunned, but it is actually a manifestation of simple mind."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded. After all, Zou Liang was raised by wolves. His nature is indeed different from ordinary people. It can be said that he is as simple as animals, but he also has the cunning unique to wolves.

"Sometimes being simple means having a clear mind!" Zhao Pu said, "A fool can deceive people every time, how can people think you are stupid?"

"Playing stupid?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked at the same time.

Zhao Pu smiled faintly, "It's not easy to be stupid, it also depends on talent! In my military camp, the No. 1 person who is stupid is that red hair."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raised their eyebrows.

"Zou Liang is ruthless, Qiao Guang is nimble, Yihang is meticulous, and that red hair is the best at playing cheap tricks." Zhao Pu shook his head, "He taught Xigulu to pretend to be a fool and run out to fight Yelu Tuochun. Yelu Tuo Can Chun put that idiot in his eyes? He really thought he was a fool, and wanted to carry the head of Gulieqing's son back to a job, but who knew that he fell into the trick of that fool and lost his life .”

Inexplicably, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought of the experience of Xigulu and He Tong before... Indeed, it is easy to let people take it lightly, and that accent is quite deceptive.

"But the fourth son seems to be able to communicate with him..." Zhan Zhao looked at the fourth son and Xigulu who were able to communicate with each other without any obstacles.

Zhao Pu was delighted, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, and said, "As long as this place is simple and clear enough, you can easily understand what he said. Of course, the fourth son is the best person to communicate with him."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood it—it's interesting...

Unlike Xiaosizi and Xigulu who were chatting happily, Tianzun who walked slowly ahead felt that Bai Yutang and the others were following behind.

Tianzun glanced back, and felt that these little ones must have some tricks, so pay attention!

Just as he was thinking, he heard the fourth son suddenly shout, "Yin Yin!"

As soon as Tianzun looked up, he saw Yin Hou walking over from the opposite side.

Yin Hou seemed quite surprised to see everyone, and was about to turn around and slip away like that.

On the roof, Zhan Zhao wondered, "Why is grandpa here?"

Bai Yutang asked, "Where did you go after you left just now?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "You don't need to look at Tianzun today, he went to play by himself, right?"

Everyone looked at each other again. Indeed, Yin Hou was much more mysterious than Tianzun who ran to a few places every day... Sometimes people disappeared, and sometimes they appeared suddenly.

Zhao Pu asked Zhan Zhao very interestedly, "Does your grandfather have any recreational activities? So handsome, why don't you find a date?"

Zhan Zhao glared at him, "You want to be beaten! Let him hear it and it's over!"

Zhao Pu looked at the sky, "Is that really a waste?"

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and observed, then raised his eyebrows, "Going to drink."

Both Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu were surprised, "Can you see this?"

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, he saw Tianzun jumping, "Old ghost! Did you go drinking?"

Yin Hou looked aside, pretending to watch the scenery and not hear.

"You ran to the winery alone and drank that jar of imperial concubine's wine, didn't you!" Tianzun said anxiously.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - Concubine Niang?

Zhao Pu said, "Let's go to Shenji Winery... The noble concubine makes good wine for hundreds of years, and Shenji only sells one jar every year."

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "Grandpa drank it?!"

"A year ago, my master said that he ordered an altar..." Bai Yutang laughed, "He didn't know what he did today without telling Yin Hou, it must be considered revenge..."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "It should be..."

Yin Hou was caught by Tianzun, so he quickly changed the subject, "Where are you going?"

Naturally, Tianzun didn't get the trick, and grabbed his sleeve, "You pay me for my half jar!"

"I don't know what you said." Yin Hou continued to pretend not to hear, while looking at the roof in the distance, and then at the silly big man and the little four who followed behind, a little puzzled.

"Have Yin Yin had dinner yet?" The fourth son greeted Yin Hou.

Yin Hou shook his head.

"Zunzun is going to buy jade, are you going Yinyin?" the fourth son asked.

"Buying jade?" Yin Hou was puzzled.

Tianzun tugged at him, "Let's go together! This time you pay for it! Just pay for my wine!"

Yin Hou was dragged forward by Tianzun, confused.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Grandpa is going too?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "If only my master went, it would be easy to hit him by mistake. If Yin Hou also goes, maybe we can find other clues."

Zhao Pu nodded, "Does a blind cat touch a dead mouse?"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him with raised eyebrows—how dare you say that.

Zhao Pu smirked.

……

At this time, in the palace.

Zhao Zhen is accompanying Xiangxiang to practice the piano in the yard... A while ago, the grand master found a small Yaoqin that Concubine Pang used when she was a child, and gave it to her granddaughter.Sure enough, it's a girl with a mother, and Xiangxiang will use it soon, so Zhao Zhen listens to his daughter playing the piano every day with a smile on his face.

While reading the piano score and listening to the sound of the piano, Nangong walked in from the outside and said something to Zhao Zhen in a low voice.

Zhao Zhen was slightly taken aback, then raised his head, "Is there such a thing?"

Nangong nodded.

"Is there anything missing?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Nangong shook his head, "I don't know yet, the warehouse is checking, but the most valuable items are not lost."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and said to Nangong, "Go and call Bao Qing for me."

Nangong went out to find Bao Zheng.

Zhao Zhen asked Xiangxiang to go to the Queen Mother to play the piano for the Queen Mother, and he took Eunuch Chen and a few guards out of the garden and came to the warehouse where the tribute was stored.

There are many warehouses in the palace, such as money warehouses, tribute warehouses, etc. There is a separate warehouse for calligraphy and paintings. Tianzun has visited these places, but Zhao Zhen rarely visits them on weekdays.

What did Nangong tell him just now?

This morning, the shadow guard found that the roof tiles of a warehouse had been moved, and suspected a thief.

It sounded fresh to Zhao Zhen, the warehouse was heavily guarded, how could someone come in and steal things without anyone noticing?How good is that?

When we arrived at the door of the stolen warehouse, we saw the door was wide open, and several stewards were checking carefully with a list. The guards and eunuchs helped to take out the checked tributes and categorize them.

When Zhao Zhen came to him, Ge Qing jumped down from the roof and saluted him.

Zhao Zhen waved to him and asked Ge Qing, "Are you sure it's a thief?"

Ge Qing pointed to the roof and said, "The tiles were fine yesterday, but this morning they felt something was wrong. It was obviously moved by people, and it couldn't be caused by wind or animals."

"You can see this?" Zhao Zhen was quite surprised.

Ge Qing nodded, "All the tiles on the roof of the imperial palace are double-colored and water-marked. It is clear from the top, and they must be checked every day."

"Oh..." Zhao Zhen nodded.

At this time, the eunuch who was in charge came over and replied—this warehouse is for storing jade wares, most of which are local tributes. There are as many as thousands of pieces in stock, ranging from small jade pendants to large jade carvings. So far, no one has found any missing items. What, it is being checked, it may take several hours.

"I haven't found anything missing so far, which means that it's not the big one or the most valuable ones, is it?" Zhao Zhen asked.

The steward nodded.

Zhao Zhen asked Ge Qing again, "Isn't it very difficult to get in without anyone noticing?"

Ge Qing nodded, "You have to have a bit of kung fu like Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang."

"Taking such a big risk and not taking the most valuable...does it mean that you came here with a purpose?" Zhao Zhen walked into the warehouse for a "visit" with his hands behind his back.

The jade wares in the warehouse are well preserved, and most of them are stored in exquisite brocade boxes.

Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a little emotional, "So there are so many..."

Ge Qing didn't care much and nodded.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and said to Ge Qing, "I'll take a look at some of them."

Ge Qing casually took a few boxes and showed them to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took a box and opened it. Inside was a pair of white jade bracelets, exquisitely carved.

I opened another one, and inside it was a pair of black jade Pixiu... I opened another box, and it was a string of topaz bracelets.

Zhao Zhen asked the supervisor, "Are there any marks on these boxes?"

The manager nodded and turned the boxes over, only to see a number on the bottom of the box.

"Each tribute has a serial number." The steward handed a thick file to Zhao Zhen, "Here are the details."

Zhao Zhen asked, "How many copies of this booklet are there? Where are they usually stored?"

"One copy for Longtu Pavilion and one copy for the Palace Administration Office, and another for the household department."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "If you don't have this booklet, running in to find something is like finding a needle in a haystack, right?"

The person in charge was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "The emperor is wise."

Ge Qing also understood, "The thief should have found out which box he wanted to steal before he came in...so he must have read the file before."

Zhao Zhen looked at the busy guards and eunuchs outside the door, and said calmly, "There are a few Zhanzhao Baiyutangs in the world...the possibility of guarding and stealing is even greater."

Ge Qing was going to investigate, but Zhao Zhen stopped him, "Leave it to Bao Zheng, and you all pretend you don't know anything."

Ge Qing nodded.

Zhao Zhen continued to visit with great interest, so that those in charge don't have to worry about themselves, and then checked.

Zhao Zhen stopped in front of a jade-carved cabbage and tilted his head to look at it.

Ge Qing also tilted his head to watch.

Zhao Zhen was suddenly happy, "This cabbage looks serious."

Ge Qing glanced at it with a disgusted face.

Zhao Zhen asked him with a smile, "What's the matter? Don't you think it looks good?"

Ge Qing pursed his lips and couldn't say anything, his father had told him not to talk nonsense, especially in front of the emperor.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, signaling——saying.

Ge Qing answered honestly and asked, "Is this expensive?"

Zhao Zhen asked the manager, "How much is this cabbage?"

The manager checked the accounts and said, "It's worth 800 taels."

Zhao Zhen looked at Ge Qing.

Ge Qing kept shaking his head, "It's no different from a frozen cabbage, it's still inedible, and it's so valuable!"

The corner of the steward's mouth twitched, and Zhao Zhen made Ge Qing laugh out loud, "I think so too, how much real cabbage can this jade cabbage be exchanged for? It's probably enough for people in Kaifeng City to eat for free for several years."

Ge Qing nodded, and was about to move on, when he suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen was slightly taken aback.

Ge Qing frowned, stared at a shelf, and then walked over.

Zhao Zhen walked to his side.

Ge Qing pointed, "Here!"

Zhao Zhen looked in the direction of Ge Qing's finger, and saw a small, square imprint on a shelf... There was a thin layer of dust around it, except for the square in the middle, which did not accumulate dust.

Zhao Zhen frowned, "Have the things here been taken away?"

"There should have been a box here!" Ge Qing said, lowering his head on the ground to look carefully, and then raised his face to look up. Finally, he found half a footprint in the thin dust beside the shelf.

"Someone took a small box from here." Ge Qing pointed at the shoe print, "Woman!"

Zhao Zhen looked at him, "Are you sure?"

"Hmm! Men don't have such small feet. Judging by the prints on the shoes, they look like they were worn by a court lady." Ge Qing frowned, "Sure enough, they were stolen by guards."

Zhao Zhen patted Ge Qing and expressed his appreciation, "Bao Qing will come later, you can tell him."

Ge Qing nodded.

Zhao Zhen found the supervisor, calculated according to the order of the boxes, and roughly determined what was stolen—a jasper ring.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the name of the ring and frowned slightly—the fishtail ring...

"Is it fish tail again?" Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and suddenly said to Eunuch Chen, "Let the imperial dining room fry a fish tail tonight." After speaking, he strolled back and continued to listen to Xiangxiang and play the piano.
