With the unknown "Lord Xu" opening his mouth to characterize the case, soon, the case of "Grandma Sun drowned in Zhao's Mansion" was defined as suicide.

After Master Xu left, the fat butler took two steps forward and quietly handed the chief catcher a money bag. The arresters of several county governments understood it, and they all closed the case hastily and returned home.

As soon as the officials and gentlemen of the county government left, the people below started to talk about it, but after being severely reprimanded by the fat housekeeper, they all scattered.

After a while, seeing that Zhao Ziqi also sat in the sedan chair of the Zhao Mansion and went out to run errands, Zhao Ting relieved his heart and recruited Zhao Si.

"Zhao Si, do you know where the body of the grandmother was found?"

Zhao Sidao: "Of course I know, it's in the wing of the east courtyard of our foreign mansion, and it's not far from where the villain lives." ”

"If that's the case, then you can take me on a trip," Zhao Ting commanded, "Lead the way ahead!"

"Okay!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Si, the two of them quickly walked through the corridor of the outer mansion and came to the east courtyard where the Zhao Mansion provided the subordinates and helpers to live.

"Eh, look, isn't that the eldest prince?"

"It's the eldest prince, why did the eldest prince come to our East Courtyard, he hasn't been here once on weekdays. ”

Seeing Zhao Ting appear, the people in the East Courtyard were all talking, and even more of them stood not far away and looked at him, looking curious.

Seeing these subordinates like this, Zhao Si immediately blocked in front of Zhao Ting with his flesh, and shouted: "What do you see? A group of mud-legged people know that they are lazy all day long, and they don't work hard." ”

After being scolded by him like this, those curious subordinates dispersed one after another.

"Master, look, this is the residence of the grandmother. Zhao Si pointed to a wing room with a dark black wooden door on the second floor and said.

Zhao Ting looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that two thick black wooden strips were nailed to the door of the wing room at this time.

"Who did this?" asked Zhao Ting.

At this time, a gray-clothed guy came over and arched his hand: "The eldest prince, this is the master's order, the master said, this wing room has died and is unlucky, let us seal it, and no one will live in the future." ”

"Oh," Zhao Ting nodded, "It's demolished first, I'm going to go in and have a look." ”

"Huh?" the little guy's eyes widened, "this...... The old man said......"

Seeing that the little guy looked reluctant, the dog-legged Zhao Si immediately rushed out, pointed at him and scolded: "What about your mother? Now that the old man is not here, it is the eldest prince in the house who has the final say, understand?"

"Uh, okay. ”

After some scolding, the little guy finally gave in, and made people tear down the wooden strips of the wing room on the second floor.

asked Zhao Si to wait outside the door, and Zhao Ting stepped in alone.

The first thing that catches your eye is a copper basin that has been knocked over on the ground, which is the kind commonly used by ordinary people, a copper basin for washing faces.

Secondly, there is a puddle of undried water stains on the ground, which can be vaguely seen to be a human form.

For some reason, as soon as Zhao Ting stepped into this room, he felt that the temperature around him dropped instantly.

The gray walls in the room, the red stone bricks the size of bowls on the floor, and the thin, green and somewhat dazzling aquatic plants beside the dark golden copper basin.

All of this made Zhao Ting feel very uncomfortable, and even had a feeling of tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, just like a person who couldn't swim suddenly fell into the water.

Under the strong pressure of the discomfort in his body, Zhao Ting slowly walked to the center of the room, leaned over and picked up the conspicuous aquatic weed.

The finger was lightly forced, hey, it didn't break!

This made Zhao Ting a little surprised, this seemingly fragile slender aquatic weed was far more tenacious than it seemed on the surface.

The strength in his hand couldn't help but increase a few points, and it was not broken!

Until he exerted all his strength, the aquatic grass in his hand was still strong, and even the color was a little brighter than just now.

Zhao Ting looked at this aquatic plant quietly for a while, and suddenly had a feeling, a very strange feeling.

This aquatic plant is like a living creature with its own consciousness. Moreover, this consciousness seemed to be peering at him at this time.

"Interesting," Zhao Ting smiled, put this aquatic plant in his sleeve, and turned his head and strode out of the room.

It's the middle of the day outside, and the sun is shining.

As soon as he walked out, Zhao Ting felt that the cold aura that had been wrapping around him in the wing room seemed to melt and disappeared without a trace.

I just don't know, is it really gone, or is it hidden in the shadows?

Seeing Zhao Ting walking out, Zhao Si outside the door stepped forward and said, "Eldest son, the eldest young master of the Jiang family just sent someone to pass the word, saying that at this afternoon's auction, you must not release his pigeons again, this is a matter of his face." ”

"Eh," Zhao Ting was slightly embarrassed when he heard Zhao Si talk about this, if it weren't for Jiang Ruhai who sent someone to remind him again, he might have really forgotten about it.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Zhao Si couldn't figure out what he meant, so he had to ask, "Big Prince, how did the villain reply to the messenger?"

"Well, you go back to him, I'll be there on time this afternoon. After all, the pigeon has already been released once, and it would be a bit unkind to release it a second time. ”

"Yes. ”

......

......

Linshan County, Dongcheng.

Kin Yip Street.

A carriage engraved with the word "Zhao" slowly drove into the long street.

The carriage stopped at the north of the street in front of a second-story shop with red lanterns.

In the black plaque hanging on the door of the store, there are three vigorous and powerful gilded characters, "Treasure Pavilion"!

By the time Zhao Si helped Zhao Ting get down from the carriage, a fat man wearing a dark green robe had already flashed out of this treasure pavilion, and he was wearing a round black outer hat, which added a sense of joy to it.

It is Zhao Ting's small hair, Jiang Ruhai, the eldest young master of the Jiang family.

"Yo, Ting Shao is here, please hurry up," Jiang Ruhai hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the thin young man in a black cloud-trimmed robe behind him greeted him with a smile.

Jiang Ruhai glanced at him, walked up with a smile, pointed to the young man and introduced, "Ting Shao, introduce, my cousin, Qian Yuzhu!"

He didn't give Zhao Ting a detailed introduction to this Qian Yuzhu's family history, but it was also true, in Linshan County, except for the Zheng family, there was no family background that was worthy of his solemn introduction to Zhao Ting, the eldest young master of the Zhao Mansion, even if he introduced others, he didn't pay attention to them.

Zhao Ting bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and did not say much.

Soon, the attendants of the Jianbao Pavilion took Zhao Ting and Zhao Si's master and servant to the second floor of the wing room that had already been prepared for Zhao Ting.

This wing room is very well furnished, and it can be seen that the owner has put some effort into its design.

The doors and windows made of agarwood, the rectangular black stone bricks at the feet, are paved with a layer of neat white cloud brocade, and on the table of the Eight Immortals, in a bronze statue of the dragon's mouth, there is a faint smell of aromatherapy constantly wafting outward, and the people who smell it are refreshed for a while.

Not long after, the attendant who had led Zhao Ting upstairs just now gently pushed the door open and walked in, only to see him holding a pamphlet with gold edges in his hand.

"Zhao Gongzi, this is the auction album of this auction in our Treasure Pavilion, the master said, send it to Zhao Gongzi first, if the son has a favorite auction item, just say it bluntly, we are trading inside!"

Zhao Ting looked at Zhao Si and asked, "What is an inside transaction?"

"The eldest prince, the meaning of the internal transaction is that this object will not be auctioned, and you will be directly given the lowest price. Zhao Si explained.

"What?" Zhao Ting's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, "There are such good things, quickly, bring the atlas and let this son palm his eyes." ”

"Yes. ”

Taking the atlas from the hand of the attendant, Zhao Ting couldn't wait to open it and read it.

On the first page, the black wolf cub of Black Wind Mountain, has only been born for more than a month and has just been weaned.

What the hell? Isn't this a husky? Zhao Ting pursed his lips disdainfully and turned to the second page.

On the second page, the first green building in Xiling County - the Oiran of Yanyulou, the intimate clothes of "Yunsu"!

“......”

The third page, the strange bird of the northern snowfield, the short-head.

Isn't this an owl? Zhao Ting rolled his eyes.

On the fourth page, the weapon of the former god - the broken general Yang Xingba, a broken halberd stained with rust!

......

Until I turned to page 12, a pair of sister flower maids from the Northern Regions Snow Mountain Clan.

Seeing this, Zhao Ting was a little interested.

"This is the level that your Treasure Pavilion should have, what are the things on it?"

He muttered and flipped a few more pages.

On page eighteen, a badly worn red dragon tooth!

As soon as the word "dragon teeth" appeared, it immediately attracted all Zhao Ting's attention, and even the pair of sisters of the Snow Mountain Clan were temporarily left behind by him.

He stood up from his mahogany chair, stared into the squire's eyes, and asked, "This dragon's tooth...... Is it true?"

"The villain can't guarantee whether it's true or not," the attendant's words were very cautious and leaky, "but what the villain can guarantee is that this dragon tooth is true!"

According to him, Yunzhou had a drought for three years in a row, and there was not a drop of rain, where the mountains and rivers were cracked, the crops were not harvested, and the local people had no food to eat, and even Yizi eaten. ”

"It wasn't until later, that the red dragon that was on fire came out of the Qilian Mountains, flew all the way towards the sun, and finally flew halfway through, the red dragon burst all over, and the dragon scales, dragon claws, dragon teeth, and dragon blood all over the body were sprinkled on the land of Yunzhou. ”

"Strange to say, as soon as the red dragon died, it immediately began to rain heavily in the sky, and it rained for more than a month!"

"This dragon tooth was received by the villain's brother from the hands of the local people in Yunzhou, it is said that there are so many people who have seen this red dragon "die day by day", it should not be that the local seller and old farmer specially made it up to deceive my brother. ”

Seeing that Zhao Ting was silent for a long time, the attendant added: "Oh, by the way, Zhao Gongzi, the villain just forgot to say that this dragon tooth does have its magic, otherwise the Treasure Pavilion would not have accepted it so easily." The villain's brother has personally tested it, and when worn on the body, this dragon tooth not only has the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer, but also makes mosquitoes and beasts easy to remove!"

"Even the most powerful of the beasts, the Mountain Monarch, would never dare to get even half a step closer!"

After listening to the boasting of the attendant in front of him, Zhao Ting fell silent, and after a while, he said: "Okay, I want this dragon tooth, Zhao Si, give money." ”

After paying the silver money, the speed of this treasure pavilion was also very fast, and it only took a moment to bring up a rectangular jade box.

Zhao Ting was full of expectations, opened the jade box and took a look, only to see that there was a dagger inside, shaped like a crescent moon white bone tooth, the fly in the ointment is that this crescent moon bone tooth seems to have undergone serious wear and tear, and it actually broke from the root, thus affecting the overall aesthetics.

When Zhao Ting picked up this bone tooth and held it in his hand, he really felt that, as the attendant said, a faint and warm warmth enveloped his entire body.

"Something!" Zhao Ting's face was happy, it seemed that the attendant really didn't lie to himself.

However, since it is a dragon's tooth, in addition to being warm in winter and cool in summer, it should be very sharp itself, right?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ting didn't suppress his inner thoughts, picked up the dragon tooth in his hand and poked it fiercely at the pale yellow Eight Immortals table in front of him.

"Bang"!

The dragon's teeth are fine, and the Eight Immortals Table is fine.

"It seems that I am thinking too much," Zhao Ting muttered to himself, "This tooth is not even as sharp as an ordinary Xuantie sword. ”

You must know that a Xuantie sword that has opened the edge can definitely easily split this Eight Immortals Table made of sunken wood.

Zhao Si on the side was also a little unacceptable to this result, and said, "Eldest Prince, didn't you say that this is a dragon tooth, how can it be so blunt?"

Zhao Ting smiled and said, "Maybe it's the teeth of an old dragon......"
