[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

Baigu sat on a high rockery and poured himself a drink. When the ghosts of Baigu Mountain saw him, they surrounded him obediently like moths seeing a bright fire.Bai Gu smiled slightly when he saw Bai Yutang, and came down lightly to claim credit, "Yutang, Daddy went shopping today and saved a few little girls, all of whom you know." I love being called Daddy!

The corners of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched, and he was very disdainful of Bai Gu's acting like a baby at such a young age, his eyes were filled with disgust!

The [several little girls] who were rescued by Bai Gu smiled happily and happily invited their uncle to live at home, completely ignoring Bai Yutang's objection.As long as it is a woman, everyone likes to hear others praise their youth, let alone the sisters-in-law who have been promoted to [children's mother].

The sisters-in-law slandered flatteredly: Uncle Bai has such a pleasing personality, how come this child Yutang didn't inherit it at all, he was like a gourd with its mouth sawn off since he was a child!It must be that Sishu spoiled his younger brother in a wrong way, let Yutang and his uncle get along more, maybe it can save it!Even if your personality is hopeless, you still have to ask about Uncle Bai's maintenance secrets, I really want to have a face that never ages! [make a fist]

It's strange to say that Bai Yutang is over 20 years old today, and Bai Gu is his father, no matter how young he is, he must be in his forties, right?But if you only look at the face, let alone the anxious Sishu, even Mrs. Lu looks a few years older than Baigu.Zhan Qingfeng and Zhan Qingmang are also younger than their peers, but they are still within the range of normal people, not as evil as Bai Gunen's.

Regarding everyone's doubts, Bai Gu took it for granted: "The Bai family is like this, they grow up slowly."

The sisters-in-law were very depressed: Zhan's family can't get fat, and Bai's family can't grow old. Is this trying to kill normal people!

With a glance of Baigu's eyes, he found Zhao Xiaozhen, who was sticking to Zhan Zhao's side, biting candied haws. Zhao Zhen was standing in the corner watching the excitement, but suddenly there were two winds swishing around him, and there was a bunch of candied haws in front of him. Ghosts, anyway, except for themselves and Bai Gu, no one can tell the names of these ghosts.Zhao Zhen took the candied haws with a smile, and said sweetly, "Thank you, grandpa."

The consequences of this sentence are very serious. A certain dizzy white-bearded ghost was picked up and dragged away by the ghosts, talking about life...

Bai Gu's elusive qinggong appeared in front of Zhao Zhen in the blink of an eye. Zhan Zhao was afraid that he would scare Zhao Zhen, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to reach out for a hug, and Bai Gu also carried Zhao Zhen into the house familiarly, and the two heads were brought together Whispering, it looks like you're in a good relationship? !

Zhan Zhao looked blank, "They...are quite familiar?"

Bai Yutang frowned.

The last time Baigu went to Beijing, they practiced it at the Linjiang Building. Zhao Zhen and Baigu used to have dinner at the same table.

Bai Yutang remembered very clearly that Zhao Zhen sat on his right hand and ate with all his heart, and Bai Gu sat on his left and made trouble with all his heart. He was separated between the two of them, and they never said a word, let alone had any friendship. up.Zhao Zhen is indeed acquainted, but Bai Gu is definitely not acquainted with each other. Except for the ghosts of Baigu Mountain, Bai Gu rarely takes the initiative to contact other people. Why did he suddenly become friends with Zhao Zhen?

Bai Yutang keenly felt that Baigu's two visits to Beijing had a purpose.

Bai Yutang knew very well in his heart that Bai Gu was not as arbitrary as he appeared on the surface, he could remain anonymous for decades, and had never stepped out of Baigu Mountain, how could such a person be willful and reckless?Baigu has been able to stay at home for decades, but he has come to Beijing twice in the less than a year since he came to Kaifeng Mansion. Is there really no reason for this?

Bai Yutang was in a restless mood, feeling that someone had poked the corner of his mouth twice, and Zhan Zhao's smiling eyes were close at hand.There was a smirk on the corner of Zhanmao's mouth, poking the corner of Bai Yutang's mouth with two fingers, showing a toothy smile, and said in a long voice: "Little white mouse, give Master Cat a smile~"

Bai Yutang's mind was blank, he forgot all about his irritability, and only remembered Zhan Zhao's beautiful eyes blinking~ blinking~

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pinched Zhan Zhao's ears with both hands, "It's not a little white mouse, it's a chrysanthemum mouse, a cat-eating chrysanthemum mouse."

The two looked at each other closely, and the temperature of the two faces slowly rose, but they refused to move away first to show weakness.While the two were fighting, Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that the back of his head had been hit, and he threw himself forward. Before he could breathe out the pain, his nose bumped into Bai Yutang's again!

The nose is a relatively fragile part. After the impact, tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left quickly, clutching his nose and weeping against the wind, glaring at the two despicable attackers.

It was Zhao Zhen's red forehead that was used by the sneak attacker Bai Gu as a 'murder weapon'.Zhao Zhen pursed his lips aggrievedly, and just when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were in the right mood, Bai Gu suddenly held him up and slammed Zhan Zhao on the back of the head... almost causing a 'tragedy'.

Bai Gu smacked his lips regretfully and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's just a little bit, I'm not proficient at smashing it the first time."

Zhao Zhen grinned against his red forehead and said, "Whoever is dexterous, keep up the good work!"

Bai Gu and Zhao Xiaozhen clapped their hands happily: "I will never miss it next time!"

As soon as the words fell, two figures, one red and one white, raised their feet and kicked. Naturally, it wasn't Zhao Zhen who kicked, but Bai Gu who was hugging Zhao Zhen.There was a half-smile expression on Bai Gu's face, he hugged Zhao Zhen to avoid the unavoidable kicks, and teased Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang for bullying the few.

Zhao Zhen feared that the world would not be chaotic and said: "The more bullying the less, the more bullying the superior, the big bullying the small, I don't know who is more despicable~~"

Bai Gu dropped the small burden casually, and Zhao Zhen was safely caught by the hidden guards flying towards the Savior, and looked up to watch the rat-cat fight against Bai Gu.

I heard from Zhan Zhao that the Zhan Qingfeng and Zhan Qingmang brothers used to bully and beat Bai Gu together. After all, the Zhan brothers and Bai Gu are the same age, so they are sure to win by bullying more and less!Now that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are still young, even if the two have the bonus of tacit cooperation, they can only draw with Bai Gu.The three of them didn't use any weapons, and they fought all the way to the end. If they tried their best, they might be able to lose both sides of the fight.

The three of them fought from the ground to the sky, and the more they fought, the more excited they became, until Zhao Zhen yelled, "Come on! Dinner!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭The late dinner is finally on the table...

************

The dinner was made by the sisters-in-law, although it was not as good as the chefs in Linjianglou and the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, everyone still ate deliciously.Zhan Zhao used to eat Ma Ma Xiang, but fighting with Bai Gu consumed too much energy, so he lowered his head and worked hard to eat.Bai Yutang was still the same, eating slowly and listlessly.Bai Gu was probably very hungry, it was rare for him to eat honestly without making trouble.

As usual, the Four Rats took Zhan Hui to drink, but found that Zhan Hui was listless. Han Zhang said, "Brother Zhan, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? If you're sick, go to Mr. Gongsun!" It is well known that people quarrel with each other and yell as soon as they open their mouths.

Zhan Zhao puffed up his cheeks and chewed hard, expressing surprise with his eyes—the Zhan family never lost their minds while eating, what's wrong with the eldest brother?

Zhan Hui didn't seem to be interested in making fun of it, he just shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

Zhao Zhen was sitting at the table with the child, chatting and laughing and teasing Xiao Baozi, but when he heard Han Zhang's words, he turned to look at Zhan Hui's thoughtful face.He hinted at Li Jiayao like that last time, Zhanhui must not be able to sit still, maybe he found something in private.There are many problems with Li Jiayao. The secret guard found out that Linjiang Tower often has large sums of money, all of which are in the name of banquets. The practice is similar to money laundering in later generations.

Li Jiayao's so-called "only cook for people who are pleasing to the eye", except for a few people who are really pleasing to the eye, Li Jiayao's "people who are pleasing to the eye" have some problems.If Li Jiayao hadn't been so arrogant and self-willed, Zhao Zhen's investigation would have been very difficult if he had found a few more people to cover his eyes.But Li Jiayao is just so willful, he has the ability and backing, he takes it for granted to make himself happy, and he makes no secret of his willfulness.

After calming down the initial anger, Zhao Zhen regained his composure and began to analyze Li Jiayao.

No matter how much harm he caused to others, no matter how dirty his thoughts were, Li Jiayao was as self-willed and proud as ever.Zhao Zhen hates this kind of person the most, and also envies this kind of person the most. Only those who grew up in a honeypot and never experienced setbacks have the qualification to be so willful.

Li Jiayao collected so many servants similar to Zhan Zhao, and ordered them to imitate Zhan Zhao's words and deeds. Li Jiayao's undisguised behavior may also be a kind of expectation, hoping that one day, his shady thoughts will be exposed by others. Make it public so that he can covet Zhan Zhao openly, even if what he did would cause Zhan Zhao to suffer humiliation and even ridicule... so what does it matter?

Li Jiayao just wants to be happy.

Zhao Zhen felt that Zhanhui probably hadn't found out about Li Jiayao's filthiness, otherwise his younger brother who was a terminal patient would have murdered him long ago.

***********

After dinner, everyone gathers together to discuss the case as usual. There are many clues to the recent cases. The maid's body was buried at the bottom of the river, someone was poisoned in the wine, and the secret passage of the palace and this problematic house. What is it? People want to make trouble for Zhan Zhao, and who sent Xiao Hong under the nose of Kaifeng Mansion.These seemingly unrelated cases seem to have a little connection, after all, they cannot be comprehended before the time comes.

When mentioning the palace's secret passage, Zhao Zhen became furious, "Chengying's mouth is like a clam shell, and you can't pry it open."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "It's not like he didn't ask at all. Chengying has not left, but he was able to block the entrance and exit of the secret passage, which means that the secret passage is in the places you often go. The scope has been reduced so much, If you look carefully, you will find something.”

Gongsun said: "Aren't you two investigating the court lady's case? Do you have any clues?"

Bai Yutang said: "I was delayed halfway, so I didn't make it."

Zhao Zhen blinked: "Who is so bold to obstruct the case?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, when he heard Bai Yutang say 'I was delayed halfway', his first thought was that he happened to meet Xiaohong's case, but Zhao Zhen, who didn't know the truth, first thought 'someone is obstructing the case', Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other A glance—maybe it’s possible!

Gongsun analyzed: "There are now two cases in Kaifeng Mansion, one is the court lady case, and the other is the poisoning case. From the palace maid case leads to the secret passage of the palace, and from the poisoning case to this problematic house. The secret passage and the house seem to have some relationship. Two cases, Zhan Zhao and I just split up. If there is a third case, it will definitely distract us. In this way, it seems likely to be intentional, but Xiaohong's case is very simple , the work of verifying one's background can be handed over to the local government office, we only need a result, even if this kind of case distracts energy, it is limited, why bother?"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "There is only one reason, Xiao Hong's background may not be simple."

Pang Tong, who was sitting in the corner drinking tea alone, suddenly said, "It looks familiar."

Everyone turned to look at Pang Tong, and Gongsun translated for him: "Do you think Xiao Hong looks familiar?"

Pang Tong nodded.

Everyone waited and waited, but they didn't wait for the second half of Pang Tong's sentence. Everyone felt their chests were congested and their hearts were stuffy.

Gongsun Fue, "Go ahead and talk, Xiaohong looks familiar and then, where have you seen her?"

Pang Tong shook his head with a very calm expression, "I forgot."

Everyone covered their hearts: Uh... so stuffy, I really want to beat him up!

Gongsun took out a handful of silver needles, "It doesn't matter! I have studied the cure for amnesia! Let me give you a few needles!"

Everyone rushed forward to stop Gongsun who was trying to commit murder, Pang Tong thought about it calmly, "I remember."

More than a dozen pairs of eyes fixed on Pang Tong, and Pang Tong took a sip of tea slowly, "Pang..."

Everyone tilted their heads: "Fat?"

Pang Tong Daofeng raised his brows slightly, as if he was in trouble, and he said after a long time: "Pang Ji's daughter, what is her name?"

Zhao Zhen was completely speechless, "That's your sister! Who are you asking!"

Pang Tong didn't care about investigating the case or anything, he just joined in the fun and didn't even bother to exert any energy.Everyone knew Pang Tong's temper and never expected him to provide clues. Pang Tong's help to protect the helpless Gongsun had freed Zhan Zhao to do many things.

Pang Tong thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember the name of his half-sister, and they had never met a few times.

Pang Tong was too lazy to continue thinking, and said very bachelorly: "It's very similar anyway."

Everyone was speechless for a while: You don't even remember your sister's name, are you sure you remember her appearance correctly?
