Dragon Pattern Roll Set

A lot of soldiers and horses were stationed at the entrance of the Liao Country Posthouse, and when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived, Ouyang happened to be there.

Huo Qilin listened to the complaints from several envoys with his ears open. It seemed that he was not only set on fire last night, but also threw stones and rotten eggs.

Ouyang dismissed those envoys, shook his head and waved to Zhan Zhao and the others.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went over and asked, "What's going on?"

Ouyang spread his hands, "It's the same, probably some of the family members died in the battle against Liao. Every time there are many people throwing stones and rotten eggs, and occasionally there are people who have a temper and set fire, but at most Throwing a torch or something, the one yesterday was a little weird."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed Ouyang to the arson site to watch.

I saw that the entire Dongkua courtyard of the Liaoguo post house was burned down. It seems that the fire is not small.

"Did anyone die?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's not."

"Where are those cats?" Zhan Zhao felt the need to care about the same kind.

Ouyang shook his head and said, "The cats are fine, they are all in Xikuayuan."

"The Dongkua courtyard is used for birthday gifts." Ouyang said.

"Birthday gift?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Did it get burned?"

"That's not it." Ouyang reluctantly opened a burnt wooden box to show Zhan Zhao, and saw a large lump of gold inside.

"Is it gold jewelry?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It should be gilded jade, which is said to be very precious, but the gold has melted." Ouyang took out a gold nugget that looked like a lump, "It seems that the jade is all inside."

Zhan Zhao looked at the gold bump and felt it was a pity.

Bai Yutang looked around and found a question, "Did the fire start from the birthday gift box?"

Ouyang snapped his fingers, indicating that Bai Yutang was right!

Zhan Zhao also looked around, indeed, the fire was burning from the middle to both sides.

"Is the purpose just to burn the birthday gift?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Ouyang nodded, "The box was sprinkled with kerosene, you can see that it was burnt to charcoal."

"That is to say, the person who set the fire will sneak into the post to do it?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Ouyang spread his hands, "That's the problem. The Liao Guoguan post is heavily guarded, and they brought a lot of soldiers to protect it, and the entire post house is guarded by the Imperial City Army, and there are many people patrolling and changing shifts. There is no reason for anyone to splash No one found out after burning kerosene! How can you go in and out freely if you have done light work well?"

"It's very suspicious! It's a bit similar to the case of the theft of the ring from the imperial palace before! The birthday gift stolen from the Deer King's Courtyard is also the same." Zhan Zhao shook the gold bump and asked, "Is there really jade in it?" ?”

Ouyang called an envoy from the Liao Kingdom and asked him what was in the gold ornaments. He said that there was a piece of jade carving the size of an egg, which was very exquisite.

"Isn't it big if it's the size of an egg?" Ouyang asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang shook the golden lump and shook his head, "The weight is wrong."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, and when Bai Yutang put it down, the envoy was about to say something when he suddenly heard a "swish" and something flashed.

The envoy didn't understand what was going on, Zhan Zhao put Juque behind his back, stretched out a finger to poke the golden bump, and heard a "click", and the golden bump split open.

The envoy took a deep breath, and looked again... where there was no jade inside, there was only a black stone the size of an egg.

The envoy gasped again, this one was bigger than the one just now.

Ouyang raised his eyebrows, "The jade was stolen, and the gold was set on fire to hide it?"

"It feels like someone is collecting jades. Are they all jades from the Cui family?" Bai Yutang asked the envoy, "Where did the jades come from?"

The envoy said that it was the king's private collection, and it seemed to come from the Central Plains. The reason why he sent it as a birthday gift was because he heard that the empress dowager and the emperor liked jade very much.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "This time, the birthday gifts from many families are all jade."

"I heard rumors before that the royal family wanted to send jade articles this time!" the envoy of the Liao Kingdom replied.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—is there such a thing?Zhao Zhen doesn't like jade very much.

Ouyang frowned, "It feels like someone deliberately let out the wind."

"What does that egg look like?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Is there a fish tail on it?"

"That's a wave...but it does look a bit like a fish's tail." The envoy thought for a while, took a pen and paper and roughly drew it. Everyone looked at it, okay...the pattern of the fish's tail crossing!

Zhan Zhao looked at the envoy with a disgusted face, "Does your king know what this picture means?"

The envoy tilted his head and asked innocently, "Isn't it a blessing like the East China Sea?"

Zhan Zhao can't laugh or cry.

Ouyang patted the envoy's shoulder and nodded, "Oh, I'm relieved that King Liao is still so stupid and cute after I haven't seen him for a while!"

Leaving Ouyang and the envoys to continue teasing, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left the post and returned to Kaifeng Mansion.

When he was going out, he saw a few court ladies entering with food, Zhan Zhao looked back.

Bai Yutang looked at the time and it was almost noon, and thought that Zhan Zhao was hungry, so he asked, "Cat, do you want to eat?"

Zhan Zhao finally looked away, and asked Bai Yutang seriously, "Yutang, have you found that every lost jade article has something in common?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, and said, "Did someone lose something without anyone noticing it while the guards were heavily guarded?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Not only that, but also, the same group of people went in and out of the place where the accident happened, but they will not be suspected!"

Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, then frowned, and asked, "You mean, there are court ladies everywhere?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "The maids in the posthouse and other courtyards are all selected from among the maids, and many of them come directly from the palace, and in the palace, even in some remote places, the maids going in and out will not arouse people's suspicion ...If among these court ladies, there is one who is quite good at kung fu..."

Bai Yutang nodded, "If you say that, it's true..."

Zhan Zhao went back to Ouyang and asked him to find a way to get a list of the maids who were in the posthouse last night.

After finishing the arrangements, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ran to Taibai Residence for dinner. On the second floor, as expected, the four idlers, Xigulu, Tianzun and Yinhou, were all there.

Zhan Zhao ran upstairs, and asked the fourth son first, "Fourth son, have your father and the others entered the palace?"

The fourth son nodded, "Daddy and Jiujiu have entered the palace."

Zhan Zhao was relieved, he had discussed with Zhao Pu and Gongsun yesterday, Zhao Pu and the others went to the palace to prepare, after a while he and Bai Yutang had dinner and then went there to see if they could lure the snake out of the hole.

The fourth son was very happy shaking his legs, Zhan Zhao saw that he was in a good mood, and wondered, "Your father and Jiujiu have both entered the palace, why don't you go?"

The fourth son smiled.

Xigulu interrupted, saying, "Zhan Daguo, Xiao Liangzhi is back today!"

Zhan Zhao thought about it, right!Counting the days, it is true that Xiao Liangzi is coming, and there must be a birthday gift from Wolf King Fort. It is estimated that Xiao Liang, the little prince, will come to celebrate his birthday directly on behalf of his father, and Lin Yehuo has not seen him for a while. Send congratulations.The fourth son has been looking forward to the stars and the moon for the past few days, which can be regarded as the return of his little Liangzi.

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Wouldn't Wolf King Fort and Devil City also send jades?"

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin, "I wonder if there is a fish tail?"

Both Yin Hou and Tianzun asked Zhan Zhao how the investigation of the Bai Yutang case was going, and Zhan Zhao explained the matter.

Bai Yutang asked Tianzun and Yin Hou, "Is there anything special about the Cui family's jade? Besides being extremely valuable?"

Tianzun and Yin Hou looked at each other and shook their heads. I haven't heard of anything special.

"But since he is the exclusive jade craftsman of the royal family, will he engrave some imperial secrets and the like in the jade?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Maybe." Tianzun said coolly, "That guy Li Min has the most eyes, maybe he really made some secrets and hid them in the jade."

"What secret?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "Is it a treasure?"

Both Xiao Sizi and Xigulu looked up while chewing the balls—treasure?

"The treasure is not like Li Min's style, is it?" Tianzun laughed, and said casually, "I believe you said he got a map to the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses..."

Tianzun was joking, but Yin Hou didn't laugh, and stared at Tianzun.

Tianzun drank the soup and saw the cold scene, so he went to look at Yin Hou, only to see Yin Hou frowning and staring at him.

"Why?" Tianzun blinked.

Yin Hou put down his cup and asked Tianzun, "The demon king did return the scroll that guided the way to the Ten Thousand Curses Palace back then to Li Min, right?"

Tianzun raised his eyebrows, "Yes! Didn't you stay here?"

Yin Hou frowned.

Tianzun said, "It's useless to have a scroll, the Kowloon roulette has been thrown into the sea."

"That's true... and there is no guide..." Yin Hou said to himself.

Tianzun tapped the wine glass in front of Yin Hou's eyes with his chopsticks, "Don't be suspicious, the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses has collapsed."

Yin Hou looked at Tianzun again and nodded, as if he was relieved, but Zhan Zhao could see that his grandfather still had some doubts.

At this moment, the fourth son suddenly asked, "Nine Dragon Roulette, are nine dragons biting each other head to tail and rolled together?"

Yin Hou and Tianzun looked at each other and opened their mouths wide.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang reminded, "Didn't we follow what Yao Changtian said in the previous Qige case and make a fake one?"

Tianzun and Yin Hou were taken aback for a moment, they all looked at the youngest son.

The fourth son nodded, "Dad has a paperweight in his study."

Both Yin Hou and Tianzun let out a long breath, and were almost scared out of their wits.

Zhan Zhao poked at the fourth son, what does that mean—these two are both 250 years old, don't scare them!

The fourth son continued to eat the meatballs, while shaking his legs slightly.

Bai Yutang, who had been observing the expression of the little four, suddenly asked, "Little four."

The fourth son turned to look at him.

"It's fake in your father's study..." Fifth Master slowed down his speech and asked, "Then it's real?"

Tianzun and Yin Hou froze, looking at Bai Yutang and the fourth son.

Zhan Zhao sat between Bai Yutang and the fourth son, looking at the big one and the small one who were looking at each other across him.

After a long time, the fourth son said, "It's broken."

Bai Yutang nodded.

"After it was broken, it was thrown into the sea." The fourth son said... When he was playing with the paperweight in the Gongsun's room before, this scene appeared in front of him. The Kowloon roulette was smashed and then thrown into the sea, just...

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt a false alarm, and lowered their heads to prepare to eat, they heard the fourth son say, "There is one more."

Everyone was stunned.

Both Yin Hou and Tianzun raised their heads and looked at the fourth son, "There is one more?"

"There are two Kowloon roulettes?" Tianzun opened his mouth wide.

Yin Hou also frowned.

The fourth son reached out, took two spoons, put one into his bosom, and handed the other to Zhan Zhao, imitating a strange tone and said, "The unique treasure in this world was actually found by you, you He is indeed my savior."

As soon as the fourth son finished speaking, everyone heard a crisp "click", and looked again, the wine glass in Tianzun's hand was crushed to pieces.

Yin Hou patted Tianzun's shoulder lightly to calm him down.

Bai Yutang sighed while resting his forehead, Zhan Zhao was a bit out of sorts, and asked, "Didn't we talk about Yushi and Yuweidu? Why are we talking about the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses and Nine Dragon Roulette?"

Yin Hou stretched out his fingers and gently pressed the center of his eyebrows, and asked Tianzun, "I have a bad feeling, what about you?"

"That lingering ghost of Li Min." Tianzun gritted his teeth, "He's dead for 100 years, and he's still here to add to the chaos!"

"But that was broken too."

Just when Yin Hou and Tianzun were confused, the fourth son spoke again.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him——little ancestor, why are you panting when you speak?

"How could it be broken?" Tianzun asked the fourth son a little puzzled.

The fourth son took out the spoon he carried in his arms and put it in Zhan Zhao's arms, then stretched out his hand to press the spoon, patted Zhan Zhao's chest twice, imitating a casual tone, and said, "Your Majesty With the world in mind, the natural gods bless you, this treasure is absolutely unique."

Everyone was stunned.

The fourth son took out the spoon from Zhan Zhao's arms again, and said, "It shattered into powder."

After a moment of silence, Zhan Zhao heard a "poof".

Yin Hou and Tianzun laughed loudly.

Tianzun laughed and pounded the table, "I really want to see Li Min's expression, it must be like stepping on shit."

Yin Hou also held his forehead and shook his head—as expected, no one could take advantage of the Silver Demon King.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also breathed a sigh of relief. In other words, the Nine Dragon Roulette was indeed destroyed, so Yin Hou and Tianzun should not have to worry so much about the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses.

Zhan Zhao picked up food for the two elderly people, saying that they were thinking too much, there should be nothing wrong with the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses, and there is no need to scare themselves.

Although they comforted Yin Hou and Tianzun in this way, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought of something else at this time - not everyone has the ability to always see something like the little four!In other words, only they knew that both wheels had been destroyed.The Cui family's identity is sensitive, and they tried their best to collect a set of Yuweidu jade artifacts left by the Cui family back then. The purpose is obviously not that simple... somehow they got in touch with the Ten Thousand Curses Palace. Is it really just overthinking this time?
