treacherous world

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a bit stuck eating this meal because of the strange man's appearance.

Zhan Zhao was in a daze while adding more food to Bai Yutang's bowl. Finally, Bai Wuye felt that he had eaten enough, so he simply dragged Zhan Zhao back to Kaifeng Mansion.

It was early morning at this moment, everyone in the mansion had fallen asleep, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to their room, washed up and lay down.

Zhan Zhao originally thought that he should be quite sleepy, but after lying down for a long time without falling asleep, he leaned against Bai Yutang and looked at him... Sure enough, in the dark night, the mouse's eyes were still open, as if it was Looking at the top of the bed in a daze.

"Hello." Zhan Zhao patted him lightly.

Bai Yutang turned to look at him, "Still asleep?"

"You don't sleep either."

"I can't sleep." Bai Yutang put his hands behind his head.

Zhan Zhao leaned over, twirling his fingers around his long hair, "If someone is really pretending to be Fifth Aunt, would it be against you?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Zhao Cong came out of nowhere, and he was going to deal with Zhao Pu. After a while, he would deal with Zhao Zhen or Mr. Bao at most. It has nothing to do with me, I'm not even a member of the government."

"Then you are my family member." Zhan Zhao simply turned over and looked at Bai Yutang, "Besides, you are slow and slow, maybe you offended someone and didn't even notice."

Bai Yutang looked at him helplessly, "Cat."

"Also, with your habit of flirting with flowers and grass, you might be targeted by someone again!"

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, pulled up the quilt, and covered Zhan Zhao's muttering mouth, "If you don't sleep, it will be dawn, do you really think you are a night owl?"

Zhan Zhao grabbed the quilt and wanted to tease Bai Yutang a few more words before falling asleep, but at this moment, some strange voices came from the door.

When Bai Yutang turned around, he felt a weight on his body. It turned out that Zhan Zhao was on top of him, and he also looked out, "I heard the footsteps sound like a little boy? Why are you walking so slowly?"

"That's right, he usually runs, and there's a bunch of tails behind him." Bai Yutang felt that something was wrong, so he got up, walked to the door and opened it, and Zhan Zhao also followed...the two looked out, Saw a weird scene.

It turned out to be Xiao Si who came out, hugging a pillow, looking up, as if he was looking for something while walking.He didn't look like a sleepwalker either, with his big eyes open and his face upturned with a puzzled expression.

Zhan Zhao wanted to call him, but Bai Yutang waved his hand slightly and lowered his voice, "If it's really sleepwalking, will it scare him?"

At this time, the fourth son suddenly turned to look at them.

Zhan Zhao was startled, and Bai Yutang asked in a low voice, "You saw us!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "You look quite sober."

The two were whispering, when the fourth son tilted his head and asked in puzzlement, "Meow meow for nothing."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - sober?

At this moment, the stone strolled in from outside the courtyard gate, stretched his back hunched over, apparently just got up, sat down next to Xiao Sizi, yawned and rubbed his head against him.

"Little Four?" Zhan Zhao walked outside the door and called him, tentatively.

"Huh?" The fourth son looked back, it was the same as before, nothing different.

"Are you alone?" Zhan Zhao walked to him, made sure that he was awake, looked behind him, and found that Xiao Liangzi was not there.This is new, the fourth son ran out in the middle of the night, Xiao Liang didn't follow?

"Yeah." The fourth son yawned, "Xiao Liangzi said he couldn't sleep, and went to practice. Jiujiu and Daddy slept next door."

"Is it just you and the stone in the room?"

"En." The fourth son nodded.

"What are you doing out in the middle of the night?" Zhan Zhao saw that he was still looking up, so he followed suit, but couldn't see anything.

"There is a sound!" Xiaosi replied, "It was dull, and then I saw a big bird flying over." As he said, Xiaosi opened his hands and gestured, and the pillow fell to the ground, so he quickly picked it up pat.

"Big bird?" Bai Yutang leaned against the door, and exchanged glances with Zhan Zhao—he remembered the case of Gong Xue's murder in the Huxin Pavilion, the big vulture that appeared on the roof.

Zhan Zhao found that picture and showed it to the fourth son, and asked him, "Is it this?"

The fourth son tilted his head, "I don't know, I just saw it, it's Feifei, it's so big!"

"Did you hear a sound?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "What kind of sound?"

"Well, it's boring." The fourth son picked out his ears, "It's just buzzing."

Bai Yutang also came out, "That night Pang Yu also said that he heard the noise, but no one else heard it except his young mother. It seems that only the fourth son heard it here. If a big bird really flew by, he and Zhan Zhao Why didn't you notice it? Gongsun and the others' yard is not far from here... Could it be that the fourth son is sleepy and dreaming?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were wondering, when they saw Zhao Pu walking over in his nightgown, "Little four."

"Jiujiu!" After all, it was the second father, and the fourth son turned around and hugged him, that's so intimacy.

Zhao Pu picked him up, a little puzzled, "Why are you running out at night?"

Zhan Zhao said what the fourth son said just now, Zhao Pu frowned, "Bird?"

"You didn't find out?" Bai Yutang wondered, Zhao Pu and Gongsun's room was next to the fourth son's, he didn't notice it, but the fourth son did. Is there such a possibility?

Zhao Pu reached out and touched the fourth son's forehead to make sure he was not sick. He shook his head in confusion, "What bird? I didn't hear any strange sounds."

Afterwards, Gongsun and the shadow guards in charge of the guards also came over. Tonight is the black shadow and white shadow on duty.

After asking...no one heard any sound, the strangest thing was that the fourth son couldn't remember why he ran out with his pillow in his arms.

Zhao Pu looked puzzled, "When he ran out, his voice was very soft."

The shadow guards also thought it was boring for the fourth son to fall asleep alone, so they came to Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others.

"Little Sizi, are you dreaming?" Gongsun hugged Xiaosizi and looked at his expression.

The fourth son also looked confused, "I really heard it, Shitou?"

Standing behind licking Shitou saw the little four called him, flicked his tail, and continued to lick his fur.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Gongsun took the fourth son and went back to sleep. Everyone thought he was a child dreaming.

Lying down again, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't sleep even more, always feeling that something was wrong.After resting randomly for a while, it was dawn, and after getting up early to wash up, the two wanted to talk about the case during breakfast.

Just as he was about to have breakfast in the middle courtyard, Bao Zheng hurried in from outside the gate.There was morning court today, so Bao Zheng entered the palace before dawn, but it seemed that he came back a bit early.

"My lord?" Zhan Zhao saw that Bao Zheng's black face was a little darker than before, could something have happened early?

"Sigh." Bao Zheng sat down, frowned and shook his head, "Strange, the emperor didn't go to court early today."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also a little surprised - this is new, Zhao Zhen is a hard-working emperor, and he has never heard of the early court not coming in all these years, could it be that he is sick?

"I don't know the details, but when I came back, I was abducted in the imperial hospital. None of the imperial doctors were summoned, so it is not sick." Bao Zheng waved his hand, "Old Pang went to the harem to find Pang Concubine. Yes, there will be news in a while."

At this moment, Zhao Pu and Gongsun also woke up. The fourth son was tired last night and probably won't wake up until noon today. Xiao Liang came back from practicing and slept together for a while.

"Is the fourth son okay?" Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun.

"No, but I fell asleep last night and talked in my sleep."

While eating breakfast, everyone talked to each other about the findings of yesterday's investigation.

"Are you sure that person looks like the fifth aunt who has passed away?" Bao Zheng also found it novel, and did not forget to remind Bai Yutang to be more careful.

"What's the result of the autopsy?" Bao Zheng asked Gongsun.

"Well, he died from poisoning. The method of death is not special, but before death..." Gongsun held a half-heeled fried dough stick, "My lord, have you been very sad these few days, Mr. Gong?"

Bao Zheng was taken aback, Gong Xue was newly appointed, he was a low-key person, and he was not very familiar with him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Why do you ask that?" Bai Yutang asked Gongsun.

"Oh, I found that he seemed very tired before he died, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he was overworked." Gongsun shook his head, "I was wondering if he had something to worry about."

"The Ministry of War is not busy recently." Bao Zheng shook his head, "He has a bright future, and there is no party in the government and the opposition recently. He is very relaxed. What is there to worry about?"

"By the way, my lord." Zhan Zhao asked Bao Zheng, "Did Lu Sheng say anything?"

Bao Zheng was silent for a while, "I said it, but saying it is tantamount to not saying it."

"What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

"He said that the secret his grandfather kept for Taizu back then was that the heavenly secret was hidden in the secret compartment of Taizu's imperial mausoleum." Bao Zheng shrugged his shoulders after finishing speaking, "Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?"

"What was that opportunity?"

Bao Zheng had some regrets on his face, "This Lu Sheng, I don't know if he concealed it on purpose or he was really confused, but he said that his grandfather made a lot of ramblings on his deathbed, and he only listened to one or two sentences. Too young to remember."

Everyone raised their eyebrows, expressing—this is unbelievable!

At this moment, Grand Master Pang came outside, with a complicated expression on his face when he entered the door, Bao Zheng guessed that something was wrong, "How is the inquiry?"

Pang Ji sat down on the seat, "The emperor is said to have had a nightmare last night."

"Nightmare?" Zhao Pu wondered, "Didn't sleep well because of the nightmare?"

Pang Ji looked around, and said in a low voice, "Last night, my daughter was lying next to the emperor, and she said that the emperor's face turned pale when she woke up from a nightmare, and she didn't say anything to him. Then she lay down again and started talking in her sleep... In a daze, he seemed to say something like 'Uncle Jiu won't harm me'"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Pu looked puzzled, "Hey, what dream did he have?"

Everyone shook their heads, thinking that the fourth son was weird last night, is it a coincidence?

"There are more." Gongsun took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to everyone.

Zhan Zhao took the box and opened it, and saw three pieces of white things lying inside. Looking closely, it was three pieces of broken skin, as if they had been torn apart randomly. There were also blue line drawings on it, which seemed to be a map. .

"Where did it come from?"

"It was found in Gong Xue's stomach." Gongsun raised his eyebrows, "He swallowed it not long before he died."

"It doesn't look like something you can eat." Zhan Zhao put together the pieces of broken skin, but found that they couldn't connect together, "Why swallow the hard broken skin?"

Bai Yutang poked the skin, "What kind of skin is this? Pig skin?"

"It's too small to tell the difference. Human skin and pig skin are actually similar when dried. To be honest, it's more like human skin..."

Gongsun's words made everyone feel a little off.

Zhao Pu was surprised, "Gong Xue still has the habit of eating people?"

"He swallowed the skin alone! And the skin is dry." Gongsun pointed to one of the larger broken skins, "Look at the top."

Zhao Pu frowned and looked at it for a long time, "Is it a map?"

Bai Yutang suddenly took the box over and took a closer look, "Organ map!"

"Institution?" Everyone immediately thought of the large number of institutions found out yesterday.

"Is it yesterday's agency?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "This is the location of some agencies in the sewer where we passed. This one is near the military camp in the back mountain, and this one is the alley where the gate of death is located."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, feeling suspicious, "It's the three places we discovered yesterday... Is this related to Gong Xue?"

"Guard Zhan." Bao Zheng took a gold medal to Zhan Zhao, "In a while, take someone to Gong Xuefu, check his study and personal belongings, and see if there is anything about him and this organ case. what relationship."

Zhan Zhao received the gold medal, and after breakfast, he and Bai Yutang went to the office of Gong Xue of the Ministry of War.Today seems to be a busy day again, first go to the Ministry of War and Gong's Mansion in the morning, and then to Jinxia Mantang in the afternoon to see if the boss is back.

The Ministry of War and his party didn't gain much. Gong Xue's subordinates said that Gong Xue was in a low mood recently, but he usually had a gloomy personality and seldom talked, so everyone didn't pay much attention.

When he arrived at Gong Xue's school, Zhan Zhao first asked his family members about Gong Xue's recent situation. The old housekeeper said that he had been suffering from insomnia for several days, did not sleep at night, and was listless and preoccupied all day long.Because Gong Xue was usually gloomy and indifferent, no one dared to ask him.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked into Gong Xue's study and searched carefully.

"This study is really simple." Zhan Zhao looked around, "It's much worse than Mr. Bao's study, it doesn't look like a scholar."

"He seems to be obsessed with institutional research." Bai Yutang took a box and turned it around.

"Is this the Nine Chains?" Zhan Zhao picked up a string of iron rings and turned them around.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to take it, "This is the most difficult lotus nine rings." After speaking, nine separated rings hung on his fingers.The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched - so fast!

Reaching out to pick it up again, Bai Yutang kneaded it a couple more times and handed it over to Zhan Zhao. The nine rings were connected again, spreading out like a blooming lotus.

Zhan Zhao took it and walked around for a long time, looking at Bai Yutang depressedly.

Bai Yutang smiled, stretched out his hand to pat his head, "Speak skillfully."

"Meow."

The two were talking when they heard a meow.

Following the cry, I saw an old brown cat with tiger stripes squatting on a flower stand in the corner.The cat was not small, and it was already quite old at first glance. It was lying on the flower stand without moving, so Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't notice it just now.

Zhan Zhao walked up to the cat and stared at it, "Is this Gong Xue's cat?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "People who like to make tricks should have a cat. Some small parts are often eaten by mice. Also, most of the tricks have a lot of blueprints, and they are most afraid of mice."

"The blueprint..." Zhan Zhao searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time, "Nothing."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Mao'er, there may be a dark compartment or a dark room in this room, it always feels like something is missing."

"Oh!" Zhan Zhao immediately ran over, found the vase on the bookshelf, and moved it around.

"What are you doing?" Bai Yutang looked at him puzzled.

"Usually, it's not like finding a fixed vase, moving it, and then a wall opens!" Zhan Zhao said quite seriously, Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, the cat was still so happy.Looking around, finally, his eyes fell on the cat.

Walking to the cat, Bai Yutang looked at it.

With a "meow", the cat wagged its tail at Bai Yutang, then jumped onto the window sill and rubbed its head against him.

Zhan Zhao's eyelids twitched lightly, this mouse is indeed a cat to be seen.

However, Bai Yutang reached out and grabbed the small potted plant behind the cat, and turned it left and right... with a "click".

Under Gong Xue's desk, there happened to be a whole square brick opened.

Zhan Zhao lifted the brick panel, waved to Bai Yutang, and signaled—there is a secret passage!

Bai Yutang walked over and smiled at him, "Sure enough, wherever there are cats, there are treasures.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes to look at him, this mouse is definitely smiling, no matter how you look at it, it's pleasing to the eye!

At this time, the old cat slid into the tunnel with a "chuck", and disappeared after a while.Zhan Zhao picked up the candlestick on the table and dragged Bai Yutang down.

Bai Yutang carefully paid attention to the ground, knowing that they had walked all the way to the flat ground without encountering any traps, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The basement is not very deep, and it is well repaired. The basement is different from the simplicity of the study above, and it looks very messy. In particular, a bookshelf is full of various drawings and leather with patterns, and there are a lot of books on the table. organ utensils.Zhan Zhao has also seen this scene in a room on the empty island in Baiyutang.But although Bai Yutang has a lot of stuff, it is much neater than him.

"Fellow?" Zhan Zhao turned on the lamps on both sides, and the secret room immediately lit up.

"This Gong Xue... researches all the mechanisms that kill people." Bai Yutang frowned and looked at some blueprints, "The ambush of those vicious organs should be done by him." As he said, he showed Zhan Zhao a few drawings .

Zhan Zhao frowned and took a closer look, these institutions were indeed vicious and vicious, "Gong Xue seems to have some evil intentions."

"There has been no war for a long time these days. Zhao Pu and the others are in charge of recruiting students for the basic conscription drills. The minister of the military department may be very free, so he has so much time to do such boring things." Bai Yutang flipped through the utensils on the table, Found something, "Cat, look at this."

Zhan Zhao leaned over and saw that it was a bamboo tube with two grooves on both sides. He looked at Bai Yutang with some puzzlement, "What is this?"

"Things that poison people into cups from the roof." Bai Yutang said, looking for the teapot on the table and shaking it, and found that there was still water in it.He picked up the teapot and poured a drop into the bamboo tube, then picked up the bamboo tube and shook it.

Zhan Zhao found that the water did not drip.

Then Bai Yutang pressed the card slots on both sides again, and a very small drop of water dripped down, which was hard to detect unless one looked carefully.

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao nodded, "No wonder a bird can be poisoned!"

"But why was Gong Xuexue killed by a hidden weapon he made himself?" Bai Yutang put down the bamboo tube.

"Yutang, what is that?" Zhan Zhao pointed to a three-sided shelf not far away. There were some messy ropes wrapped around the shelf. The ropes were messy and there were some pieces of broken skin on it.

"look familiar."

"I saw it in Zhao Pu's military tent." Zhan Zhao leaned over, "But the one used by Zhao Pu is much bigger than this one. The rope on this shelf is used to tie up the map, isn't it?"

"Hmm." Bai Yutang also felt that it was indeed that thing.

"The original map seems to be missing." Zhan Zhao reached out and took off a small piece of leather, and looked closely, it was very similar to the one Gongsun found in Gong Xuewei.

"Is it also human skin?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

"As long as the end of the thread is untied, the map can be easily taken off. You don't need to pick it up but tear it into pieces...it seems very urgent." Bai Yutang said while looking around.

"I'm even more curious about why he put such a picture at home!" Zhan Zhao's expression became serious, "If it's really the map of Kaifeng Mansion's organs, Gong Xue keeps it in the secret room and studies it every day. What exactly does he want to do?"

"There are so many books here." Bai Yutang opened the cabinet under the desk and found a thick stack inside. He opened it and looked, "Cats, these are Gong Xue's daily records."

Zhan Zhao took it and found that there was a thick stack, "Then let Bao Yan read all these when we go back, I guess we can find something."

The two moved books outside, while considering whether to simply ask Bao Zheng and Zhao Pu to take a look.

At this time, there was a sound of dripping water suddenly, the sound was not small, it seemed to be raining.

"Is it raining?" Zhan Zhao felt something was wrong. When he first came down, the sky was still clear, and he didn't hear that the weather would change today.Thinking about it again, it is impossible to hear it in the rainy room, right?

"Not good!" Bai Yutang hurriedly ran towards the corridor, and saw the pitch-black stairwell with a large puddle of water on the ground, which was splashed down from above.

"What's the smell?" Zhan Zhao covered his nose.

Bai Yutang pulled him back, "Fire oil."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

At this time, kerosene slowly poured into the secret room, and the two of them felt a chill...someone wanted to destroy the secret room, or drive them both to death.

As soon as I thought of this, I saw a light point flying down the stairs, and at the same time, there was a "boom".

The fire spread rapidly down the kerosene.The walls of this underground secret room were not ventilated, and the fire was burning, and soon thick smoke was everywhere.

Zhan Zhao covered his mouth and nose and retreated inside together with Bai Yutang, knowing that he would surely die if he continued like this.

"Yutang." Zhan Zhao found out that the table was covered with a large leather sheet, tried it with a candlestick, and it was really fire-resistant, so he tore off the cover to cover Bai Yutang, and let him hold the book by the way.

Afterwards, Zhan Zhao grabbed something that looked like a broom, "Let's use it..."

"How dare you!" Bai Yutang grabbed him and threw away the stack of documents.

"Ugh!"

"I want to do something with paper and paper." After speaking, he pulled the leather cover to cover Zhan Zhao.

"This is important evidence." Zhan Zhao frowned, "My lightness kung fu is good, so I can't be burned."

"What if it burns?" Bai Yutang turned on Zhan Zhao rarely, "I don't care what evidence he has, anyway, you can't get hurt."

Zhan Zhao pouted, squinting at Bai Yutang who continued to look around, the mouse was impatient!Quietly, he used his feet to hook back the documents that Bai Yutang threw out in anger. Based on Zhan Zhao's years of experience in handling cases, he felt that the person who set the fire was most likely to burn these documents.

Bai Yutang searched for a while, then suddenly asked Zhan Zhao, "Where was that cat just now?"

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback, and found that the fire in front of him was almost burning in, but the secret room was not too stuffy, could there be other passages?

Just then, a "meow" was heard.The two were overjoyed, and turned their heads together to look, only to see the old cat lying in a hole in the corner of the wall, looking towards them.

In the blazing fire, the cat's eyes were also very brightly reflected, reminding the two of them unconsciously of the pair of eyes in the alley last night.

Zhan Zhao picked up the document and pulled Bai Yutang over.The cat retreated into the hole, and there seemed to be plenty of room behind it.

Bai Yutang fumbled for a while, grabbed a stone brick and pulled it out, with a "click", the stone door opened a crack enough for one person to enter and exit.

Bai Yutang pushed Zhan Zhao in first, followed by himself, and closed the stone door behind him.

Looking forward, the two were in a dark cave, walking forward quickly.As he walked, the scene ahead became familiar.

"It's yesterday's sewer."

"Gong Xue's underground secret room is connected to this place, so could that person have something to do with him last night?"

Not long after, the two saw an exit and climbed out to have a look—it was a well outside the gate of Gong's mansion.

After getting out of trouble safely, looking at the Gong Mansion again, the entire mansion was on fire.The house slave workers couldn't put it out, so they had to escape.Soldiers from the water dragon team also came, but it was a pity that the fire was too big to be extinguished. They could only save people, and the house was left to burn.

Holding a stack of documents, Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang's face was a little black and gray, so he reached out to wipe him with his sleeve, "It turned into a gray mouse!"

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao's colorful face, "White mice match black cats, gray mice match tabby cats."

Zhan Zhao made him amused, and the two of them had survived the catastrophe. They hadn't encountered this kind of danger for many years. It would be great if they just brought two shadow guards here.

Zhan Zhao sorted out the documents, and Bai Yutang stared at the stack of documents angrily.He muttered, "Stupid cat."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly protected the documents, fearing that the rat would vent his personal anger and go crazy and tear up all the documents, it would really make his face black and gray for nothing.

Just as he was about to go back, suddenly... he felt that the sunlight above his head was covered by something.

The two raised their faces subconsciously, only to see a huge vulture with its wings flying past in the sky high above their heads.

Zhan Zhao stuffed the document into Bai Yutang's hands, and jumped to chase the bird.

Bai Yutang was in a hurry, this cat became energetic after seeing a bird!Hurry up to the room.Zhan Zhao's qinggong is very good, he quickly followed the bird without letting go.

Bai Yutang's "following like a shadow" pays attention to lightness and strength, but it's so laborious to have a large stack of books in his hand!He really wanted to lose it, but it was estimated that Zhan Zhao would turn his back on him, so he had to follow behind.

Zhan Zhao ran three times and two times and was about to catch up, Bai Yutang was surprised... Looking at Zhan Zhao's appearance, he seemed to have measured the distance with his eyes and was about to jump after him, Bai Yutang took out a handful of black jade flying locust stones to help him.

Unexpectedly, when Zhan Zhao was about to jump up and hadn't exerted his strength, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes.

"Cat, retract your claws!" Bai Yutang said, and Zhan Zhao retracted his open arms without thinking.

At the same time, a gust of wind flew past his shoulders, but fortunately, he stopped quickly, otherwise he might have stabbed himself.

Zhan Zhao paused, and then looked at the big bird...flying away.

A dart also fell on the roof behind him, in the shape of a dead leaf.

Wasting a great opportunity, Zhan Zhao watched the sudden appearance not far away, and attacked him with a hidden weapon, causing him to lose the dead leaf of the strange bird.Angry, teeth grinding...it's this kid again!

Withered Ye stood on the roof, holding a broken knife in his hand and pretending to be surprised, "Oh? So it's Mr. Zhan. I heard the sound of the gong, and thought I was catching some assassin. Didn't hurt you?"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly—this dead leaf came out again and again to disrupt the situation.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's unfriendly expression, Dead Leaf laughed, "Oh, why is there such a big fire in the Gong's residence? Sure enough, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Once a person dies, the house will be burnt down."

Zhan Zhao sneered, "How do you know that Xue Gong died? It's not early today." Zhan Zhao said while pointing behind him, "There are so many mansions in that area. From here, you can only see one big mansion on fire. How do you Do you know it is the Gong residence?"

Withered Leaf was stunned for a moment, and then smiled indifferently, "Yes, why?" While talking, he stretched out his hand into his arms, "Master Zhan, how about doing a trick for you?" Unfold... A butterfly with a withered leaf flew up.

After flapping its wings a few times in the air, the dead leaf suddenly snapped its fingers lightly, and with a "hoo", the wings of the dead leaf butterfly started to burn, and as it flew forward little by little, the flames also flew up. Become a point of light, falling down.

Zhan Zhao's eyes turned cold, and Bai Yutang behind him also felt that this spot of light was very familiar. The thing that lit the kerosene just now was this kind of burning dead leaf butterfly!

"So it was you who set the fire."

"Hey!" Withered Ye hurriedly waved his hand, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, do you have evidence?"

At this time, the dead leaf butterfly had long been wiped out, and naturally there would be no trace of it at the scene.

"Hehe." Withered Ye was very proud, and cupped his hands, "Then I'll show you the tricks next time." After speaking, she raised her eyebrows at Bai Yutang in the distance, and turned to leave.

Before he could take a step, he felt a gust of wind pass by.

He suddenly lowered his head, and there was a "click"... The roof tiles around him broke, and the dead leaves turned their heads, and Zhan Zhao's sword was unsheathed.

Dead Leaf was startled, and blocked with a knife, but Zhan Zhao came aggressively, but it didn't look like he was playing with him.

Bai Yutang shook his head, put the stack of documents on the roof, and sat on the documents to watch the battle.He is familiar with Zhan Zhao's facial expression at this time, the cat must be saying in his heart - this kid is too disgusting, if you don't teach me a lesson, you really think you are a sick cat? !
