Dragon Pattern Roll Set

In the end, Bai Yutang failed to drag Zhan Zhao and was dragged out of Kaifeng Mansion.

But when passing by the courtyard, Bai Yutang took the fourth son with him.Gongsun was busy with autopsy all day today, seeing that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were willing to help take care of the fourth son, he immediately went to find Zhao Pu.

Zhan Zhao picked up Xiao Sizi in his arms, and asked him as he walked, "You ran out alone, what should Xiao Liangzi do?"

The fourth son said, "Xiao Liangzi wants to learn the art of war with Zheng Zheng during the day, and he won't be distracted when I'm not around. This way, he can learn faster and go to bed early at night."

Looking at the fourth son, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt strange, how could a Gongsun like a hedgehog raise such a caring dumpling?

"Maomao, what are you doing?" The fourth son asked curiously when he saw that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were not walking along the streets on weekdays.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Let's investigate the case."

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao——when he went out, he still said that he used a beauty trick to investigate the case?

The three turned around and walked through the alley until they came to a house.

Bai Yutang glanced at the plaque on the door to understand, but looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly.

Zhan Zhao smiled and knocked on the door.

After a while, the small door opened, and a fat girl in red poked her head out to take a look, and immediately smiled, "My Lord Zhan, Master Bai Wu, and the fourth son! Rare customers, rare customers!"

Zhan Zhao asked with a smile, "Is your mother here?"

"Yes, yes." The little girl opened the door and invited everyone into the room.

Entering the door, there are pavilions and pavilions inside the door, which are very elegant.

In the middle of the small courtyard, a rich middle-aged woman was hurriedly hiding things, wiping her mouth while hiding.

Zhan Zhao put the fourth son on the ground, and the fourth son ran towards the fat aunt, "Aunt Miao!"

"Yo~ little four!" The fat aunt put the half-hidden thing back on the table, it turned out to be a snack box.

Picking up the fourth son in her arms, she smiled and nodded at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "A rare visitor."

Zhan Zhao sat down at the table and glanced at the snack box.

That aunt Miao opened the box, "I thought my dead ghost had returned. If I knew it was you, you would have stopped hiding just now. You almost choked to death."

Zhan Zhao reached into the box and took out a piece of apricot cake, took a bite, nodded, "Manji top grade!"

Bai Yutang also sat down, and nodded to the fat aunt.

Who is this person in front of me?To put it simply, he is the most well-connected bustard in Kaifeng Mansion.

This person's surname is Miao, her name is Miao Linglong, and she is Ximen Yao's godmother.Miao Linglong is very good at kung fu, she is also pretty but she is greedy for food, and she and Zhan Zhao are food friends, anyway, they both know what is delicious in Kaifeng Mansion.But the biggest difference between Miao Linglong and Zhan Zhao is that one gets fat when he eats and the other doesn't get fat when he eats.

Miao Linglong's husband, Yan Qing, is a well-known doctor in Kaifeng City, and he is good friends with Gongsun. He usually loves his wife very much, and is afraid that she will not be healthy if she eats too much, so he looks closely at her.That fat girl is Yan Xiaoxiao, Miao Linglong's daughter. When her father was out, she would watch the door for his mother, and let her mother have some snacks to satisfy her cravings.

This family is quite funny, and they are also familiar with Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang.

For those who run a kiln, there is no one with better information than here, so Zhan Zhao came here to try his luck if he found no clues in the investigation.

Miao Linglong invited Zhan Zhao's fourth son and the others to have some snacks, and looked at Bai Yutang with her chin resting on her chin.

Apart from eating, Miao Linglong also has a big hobby in her life, which is looking at beautiful men. It is said that she loves watching Bai Yutang the most in Kaifeng Mansion. Zhan Zhao is also generous. Every time she asks a case, she brings her own mouse to show it to others. Anyway, she can't see it. touch.As long as you bring Bai Yutang with you, Miao Linglong will not only answer any questions, but also help you to look them up, which is better than bringing snacks.

Bai Yutang finally understood what kind of "beauty trick" Zhan Zhao used, and he was used to being watched, sitting and drinking tea, watching casually.

Zhan Zhao asked Miao Linglong a few things, the first one - about the haunting at night in Kaifeng Mansion.

Miao Linglong slapped her thigh and came back to her senses, "It really happened? I heard it from several girls in the building!"

Yan Xiaoxiao also ran over, "I also heard people say that the other day! People in Kaifeng are panic these days."

"Has anyone actually seen what that ghost looks like?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's an old lady!" Miao Linglong said, holding a teacup, "White clothes, long hair, no feet or shadows, floating around. Often appear in the alleys of Kaifeng Mansion, at night when walking in the alleys and alleys, the most beautiful It’s easy to come across, but it’s hard to come across if you take the main road. Then you will get lost immediately when you encounter it, and you will be followed by ghosts hitting the wall, evil ones come!”

"Only when you walk in the alley do you meet someone?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Isn't it!" Yan Xiaoxiao also said, "Now we don't dare to take shortcuts, we would rather go around and take the main road!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and they both slightly raised their eyebrows—could this be the real purpose of that "ghost"?

The second question Zhan Zhao asked Miao Linglong was whether he was familiar with the people in Gaohe Village.

Miao Linglong thought for a while, and said that there are a lot of people coming to Gaohezhai recently, and some of them often visit the buildings she owns. If Zhan Zhao wants to ask, she can find a few clever girls to help. one time.

Zhan Zhao asks Miao Linglong to inquire about two things. The first is... There are a lot of kapoks planted in Biansheng Bieyuan, and Gaohe Village seems to have grown a lot of them. Why does he plant so many kapoks?Is it because Biansheng likes kapok, or does it have some special significance?The second is whether Gaohezhai has any enemies.

Miao Linglong said that this is easy to inquire about, and she will help Zhan Zhao pay attention, and ask Yan Xiaoxiao to go to Kaifeng Mansion as soon as there is news.

After Zhan Zhao thanked Miao Linglong, he chatted with Bai Yutang for a few more words, and left with his fourth son.

After leaving the Yan family mansion, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked out of the alley together and returned to Nantian Street.

Zhan Zhao walked in the direction of the Imperial City Army's barracks, he wanted Ouyang to send some people, with dogs, to wander around the alleys of Kaifeng Mansion.Relating to the speculation that someone was digging a tunnel last time, Zhan Zhao felt that the "ghost" was always making trouble in the alley, preventing people from entering and leaving, because there were some secrets hidden in the alley.

Bai Yutang suddenly asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao looked at him.

"About Bian Sheng." Bai Yutang asked, "Why didn't you ask Bai Mutian about it?"

Zhan Zhao scratched his chin, "Hmm..."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao seemed hesitant to speak, Bai Yutang asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with him?"

"It's not that I can't trust him." Zhan Zhao held the fourth son's hand with one hand, and touched half of his cheek with the other hand, as if he was in a dilemma. It seems that there is something to hide, maybe it is inconvenient to say, after all, he is also from Gaohezhai."

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao thought he was worried, "He is your brother after all..."

Bai Yutang nodded lightly, and said, "Last night, my father came to talk to me specially."

Zhan Zhao was curious, "What did you say?"

"He said that Bai Mutian seemed to have something to hide." Bai Yutang said, "He's a little worried."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Sure enough...Gaohe Village is full of experts, will he be in any danger?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao again for a long time, and said, "My father is not afraid that Bai Mutian will be harmed, he is afraid that he will harm others."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, "What?"

Bai Yutang frowned, "I haven't told you about some things about Bai Mutian."

Just as Zhan Zhao was about to ask, he felt the fourth son tugging at his hand, bowing his head...

I saw Xiao Sizi pointing to the Manji Teahouse not far away, which meant—go sit there and talk.

Zhan Zhao also felt the need to sit down and have a talk, so he took Bai Yu and followed the fourth son into the teahouse.

When Manji's staff saw the fourth son, they cheerfully came out to greet him, "Oh my little boss."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the fourth son with raised eyebrows.

The fourth son said he wanted a private room, and the assistant took the three of them upstairs.

While walking, the man reported the account to the fourth son, saying that according to his suggestion recently, the business of the newly opened small teahouses is very good, especially the teahouses that only girls can enter, which are full every day.Their young owner is smiling every day, and plans to open one or two hundred teahouses of the same type in other places by the end of the year.

The fourth son heard that it was good, so he reminded Man Muhua to pay attention to the location when opening the teahouse. The south and the north have different habits of drinking tea and snacks. The teahouse should not be too expensive, but the quality must be good.In addition, the fourth son also said that tea pavilions of other dim sum shops will open soon, so Man Muhua is asked not to open too many restaurants at once, one or two stores in each state capital is enough, if there are too many, other stores will be opened If it's cheaper, we can't get back the money.

The buddy nodded repeatedly and wrote down one by one.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked upstairs and looked at each other all the way - the fourth son started a business partnership with Man Muhua before, but at first everyone thought he was just joking around and thought Man Muhua was unreliable.Who knew that the little guy had one set of ideas, and Man Ji made a lot of money, and according to the prior agreement, the little four got a commission.

A few days ago when Man Muhua came to give money, Gongsun found out that his son had partnered with a "profiteer" and earned more money in half a year than he had earned in his ten years of practicing medicine. He was so angry that he threw the medicine jar, but this time he didn't care , Xiao Si can buy him a new one.

The fourth son is also quite organized, spending two hours every half a month to go to Manji to read the accounts and meet up with Man Muhua by the way, and usually ask someone to notify Man Muhua if he has any ideas.On weekdays, he still studied medicine and played with Xiao Liangzi. He gave a small half of the money he earned to his father to keep, and most of it was donated to Kaifeng Mansion for charity.

For this reason, Zhao Zhen seriously considered whether to give the fourth son a piece of gold and write something like "the best group in the world", but later he was afraid that the fourth son would turn against him, so he had to give up.

In the words of the grand master, the dumpling must have been accidentally dropped by the Bodhisattva, and Gongsun picked it up. In his previous life, Gongsun definitely saved the world.

……

Everyone went to the private room and sat down.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "I've known Bai Mutian for a while, he's a nice guy."

Bai Yutang nodded.

"You have a good relationship with him. With your character, if he's not a good person, even if he's your relative, you won't give face to him, right?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "What's wrong with him?"

Bai Yutang frowned, and said, "He is indeed much better when he grows up, but when he was young..."

Zhan Zhao waved his hand, "Oh, there are some people who didn't understand when they were young and grow up to understand."

Bai Yutang suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you think Bian Si will be a good person when he grows up?"

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback.

The fourth son was holding a few newly designed snack boxes to look at just now. When he heard the word "Biansi", he immediately raised his head with narrowed eyes.

Zhan Zhao and the fourth son looked at each other, and the fourth son wrinkled his nose, "He's a bad guy!"

Zhan Zhao patted the fourth son's head, and asked Bai Yutang, "You mean that Bai Mutian was the same as Bian Si when he was young?"

Bai Yutang sighed and shook his head, and said, "I want to say that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change, but there are also examples of prodigal sons like Pang Yu turning around, so I'm not sure."

"Why don't you let me judge." Zhan Zhao asked, holding his chin, "What exactly did Bai Mutian do when he was a child, let me give you an example."

Bai Yutang said, "For example, he caught a weasel stealing a chicken."

Zhan Zhao tilted his head, "Duo Duo always does this."

Bai Yutang nodded, "Even if I grab a stick and beat him to death, I don't mind."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang—then what's the problem?

"After Bai Mutian caught it, he chopped it into pieces alive." Bai Yutang said, "And he didn't show any expression when chopping it up. After chopping it up, he threw it to feed the pigs."

Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang with his mouth open, "Uh..."

Bai Yutang looked at him with raised eyebrows, as if to say - didn't you want to give an example?Now that the examples are over, why don't you judge?

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao continued to open his mouth.

"Then I'll give you another example." Bai Yutang said, "Once, he picked up an injured pigeon. He fed the pigeon to the snake, then fed the snake to the mongoose, and then fed it to the mongoose. I took the mongoose to feed the badger, dragged the badger to feed the wolf, finally stabbed the wolf, and watched it die slowly with a blank expression."

Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang.

"It all happened when he was seven or eight years old." Bai Yutang pointed to himself, "It's not my expressionless face, it's the kind of frightened mother who dare not stay in the same room with him at night, knowing that he's going to ask for help outside. The face that locks the door is expressionless."

Zhan Zhao took a breath, "But..."

"But Bai Mutian usually has no problems." Bai Yutang said, "He has never harmed anyone, but he has saved others. He has a straightforward personality, is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and is considerate in his work. He has no shortcomings. And after he grows up, he has never killed anyone again ,only……"

"Just what?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"You also know that he is an adopted son." Bai Yutang said.

Zhan Zhao nodded,

"Aunt Tang, you have seen it before." Bai Yutang said, "The one with the red mole on the left cheek."

Zhan Zhao nodded, he has met several relatives of Bai Yutang, the Bai family is beautiful, both men and women are beautiful, his aunt is also a beauty, and has a gentle and kind personality.

"Bai Mutian is very filial to her." Bai Yutang said, "But my aunt Tang is still very afraid of him, so Bai Mutian left home early and lived in Gaohezhai... But again, before he was ten years old, he was really It's very weird, but after ten years old, especially after adulthood, it's the Bai Mutian we know now."

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Then...you still have a good relationship with him?"

Bai Yutang said, "I didn't get along with him before I was ten years old. I'm many years younger than him. My father told me about his strange behavior. My first impression of him is that he is quieter. That's all."

Zhan Zhao nodded, rested his chin in thought for a while, and choked out a sentence, "What do you think?"

Bai Yutang was powerless, and said in his heart that you just said to judge by yourself.

Zhan Zhao also felt uncertain, maybe he was more cruel because he was ignorant when he was young?Changed after growing up?But as Bai Yutang said, if it is true that any bad problem can be corrected, there will be no such saying that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.

Bai Yutang held the cup and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it before, anyway, I didn't find any problem with him after getting along, but my master said something casually once."

Zhan Zhao felt that it was necessary to listen to Tianzun's opinion, so he asked, "What did Tianzun say about him?"

"Master didn't mean Bai Mutian, but when I heard these words, I immediately thought of him." Bai Yutang said, "People usually become sensible when they grow up, but in fact, being sensible and becoming good are two different things. Being sensible only means learning to cover up."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "After hearing you tell those two examples, I also remembered a sentence my grandfather said before."

Fifth Master raised his eyebrows.

Zhan Weiwei replied, "A person who likes to do something when he was young, but suddenly stops doing it when he grows up, it's not that he has changed, but that he has found something more interesting to do."

Bai Yutang frowned.

Seeing that he was worried, Zhan Zhao reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, even if he is cruel by nature, as long as he is under control and doesn't hurt anyone, it's fine, and it doesn't have anything to do with the case at present, right?"

Bai Yutang nodded, he could only hope so.
