After saying goodbye to Jiang Ruhai, Zhao Ting did not continue to stay in Xicheng, but returned to Zhao's mansion in a carriage.

As soon as he got off the carriage, the porter in the mansion trotted up to greet him, leaned beside Zhao Ting and whispered, "Eldest son, the master is back." ”

"The master said, let the eldest prince come back, and go to see him in the study in the inner courtyard as soon as possible. ”

When Zhao Ting heard this, his brows were tightly locked.

After a while, he answered and said, "Got it, I'll go over right away." ”

The Zhao family is one of the three wealthy families in Linshan County, this mansion is extremely magnificent, covering an area of no less than 100 acres, the rockery lotus pond in the courtyard, the courtyard is numerous, and the layout is full of poetry.

If it weren't for Zhao Si leading the way, Zhao Ting alone might really be lost in this huge Zhao Mansion.

The two walked for half an hour before they came to the inner courtyard where Zhao Ziqi lived.

Zhao Ziqi was wearing a black crown at this time, and he was wearing an official robe decorated with dark red stripes, obviously he had just returned from duty and had not had time to change his clothes.

When Zhao Ting walked in, Zhao Ziqi was sitting upright on the mahogany chair in the main seat, holding a tea cup in his hand, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

"Ting'er," seeing Zhao Ting appear, Zhao Ziqi put down the teacup in his hand, smiled and beckoned, and motioned for him to come in, "What are you busy with these days? It's been a long time since you came to say goodbye, but you used to come every day, morning and evening." ”

Zhao Ziqi's first sentence made Zhao Ting a little nervous.

"Uh...... Reporting to his father, the child has recently become obsessed with reading, studying hard day and night, forgetting to sleep and eat for a while, and forgetting to ask his father and mother for peace, which is really a sin. ”

Zhao Ziqi did not doubt him, and laughed heartily: "It's rare that my son also reads a book and reads "Forgetting to Sleep and Eat", haha, okay, this is a good thing, how can my father and your mother blame you?"

"But this reading also needs to be relaxed, you should take a break when you are tired of reading, and you must not be tired. ”

Zhao Ting lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows and said, "What my father said is that the child remembers." ”

"Well," Zhao Ziqi nodded with satisfaction and changed the topic, "There is another thing that called you here today, that is, the old temple mountain in the west of the city, don't go again in the future." ”

Old Temple Mountain?

This place name made Zhao Ting's heart move slightly, and he had heard these three words more than once today.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Ziqi added: "I know, you have always liked hunting, and you often go to Laomiao Mountain with that kid from the Jiang family to hunt some roe deer, hares and the like. ”

"If there was nothing to do before, I would have let you go, but now the city is not peaceful, and there are many outsiders coming in, especially in the area of the West City, which is chaotic, so try not to go out of the city if you can't go out of the city." ”

Hearing these words, Zhao Ting couldn't help but have an idea, looked at Zhao Ziqi and said tentatively: "Father, I just heard someone on the street that the old temple mountain is haunted by ghosts, and the mountain ghost is three feet tall, and the black fangs can hook people's souls, is this true?"

The reason why I want to ask Zhao Ziqi this question is because Zhao Ziqi is the government commander of Linshan County, that is, the second-in-command in this small county.

At his point, he is still a character, maybe he will know some news that ordinary people don't know.

"A mountain ghost with a three-zhang height and a green face and fangs?" Zhao Ziqi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his face showed impatience, "Where did the mountain ghost come from?" If there is one, how can your father and I, as the government commander responsible for the security of Linshan County, not know?"

"It must be those idle people who have nothing to do, so they spread rumors all day long, so as to cause panic among the people and make profits from it. ”

When Zhao Ziqi said these words, Zhao Ting had been observing his expression.

Seeing a very angry look on his face, it didn't seem to be a fake, so he smiled and said: "Father, the child is just curious, casually say, father must not be angry!"

Zhao Ziqi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just what you said for your father, can you remember it?"

"Remember," Zhao Ting nodded respectfully, "The child will not go to the old temple mountain in the future." ”

Having said that, Zhao Ting's mind had already drifted elsewhere.

According to the words of ghosts and gods, Zhao Si doesn't believe it, his father doesn't believe it either, and even his little Jiang Ruhai has a half-believing attitude towards "ghosts and gods".

But Zhao Tingxin!

Not to mention anything else, just say that he crossed over from the water blue star and wore it into a coffin, does this matter make scientific sense?

In his previous life, Zhao Ting, as the chief physician of the Department of Neurology of Huahai Medical University, can be regarded as having a superior IQ and rich experience. The more things he handled, the more interested he became in the "ghosts and gods" in the underworld.

Others have always had an attitude of avoiding and staying away from "ghosts and gods", but only Zhao Ting, not only very interested, but even took the initiative to try, wanting to lead "ghosts and gods" to show up, so it is also named, "Zhao Zuo died"!

Of course, the result of the trial is that there is no use for eggs.

But he didn't give up, and he kept trying, until he crossed into this world.

After coming to this world, his personal experience of "crossing over" made Zhao Ting more and more convinced that there must be supernatural forces such as "ghosts and gods" in this world, but he can't discover it for the time being.

"Well, if only I could find the corpse of a "ghost" and dissect it, but it's a pity ......," he thought with a deep sigh.

Just as the father and son gradually looked at each other and fell silent, the two dark yellow wooden doors of the study were gently pushed open.

A little maid dressed as a family man walked in and arched his hand: "Master, the second son is back, and the person has arrived outside the house." ”

"What?" Zhao Ziqi frowned when he heard this, and stood up from his chair, "Shouldn't Tai'er be in Jinzhou at this time?

"This," the little guy shook his head, "the villain doesn't know. ”

As the two spoke, a heavy footstep sounded outside the door.

Zhao Ting looked up at the door, only to see a young man with a height of more than nine feet and a high bulge of upper body muscles, striding in, wearing a slightly rough tiger skin coat and shorts.

Zhao Ting's height was already extremely tall among men, more than eight feet, and the young man in tiger skin in front of him was a head taller than him, so that Zhao Ting had to look up to see the whole picture when he looked at him.

Just by dressing up from this person's appearance, Zhao Ting guessed that this should be his younger brother "Zhao Tai", who was born with divine powers!

Good guy, those unicorn arms, one punch should be able to kill you.

Just when he was secretly guessing whether Zhao Tai could beat himself ten or a hundred by himself, Zhao Tai's eyes in front of him were staring at him tightly, and his eyes were terrifying.

"Brother, you're not dead yet?" Zhao Tai's tone seemed to be a little excited and a little confused.

“......”

Before Zhao Ting could speak, Zhao Ziqi spoke with a displeased face: "Tai'er, what do you mean by this?"

"Uh......" Zhao Tai also reacted at this time, and what he said just now seemed a little impolite, "I...... I heard from the people in the house that the eldest brother was poisoned by the "Hydrangea" and was already cold...... Uh, so ......"

"What do you mean it's already cold?" Zhao Ziqi was furious, and the meticulous beard combed under his face blew angrily, "Which subordinate dares to talk about the master like this?

"This ......"

Seeing that his cheap brother had a difficult face, and he didn't seem to want to confess to the "talkative subordinate", Zhao Ting's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Forget it, father, it's just a trivial matter, so there is no need to pursue it." ”

"Hmph," Zhao Ziqi snorted coldly, didn't say anything more, and asked instead: "Xiaotai, shouldn't you be in Jinzhou at this time? Why did you come back in such a hurry?"

"Could it be that something happened to our dart game?"

Zhao Tai took the opportunity to sit on the mahogany chair beside Zhao Ting, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a big sip, then shook his head and said: "It's not true, it's just that the dart I took can't be sent out for the time being." ”

"My father also knows that from our Qingzhou to Jinzhou, there are many mountains along the way, countless mountains and mountains, and fierce beasts and poisonous insects are flooded. ”

"However, when the child followed the river this time and passed through the waterway of the Canglan River in Min'an County, he found that the waterway of Min'an County had been blocked by the local county government, and Rao is official boat could not borrow it, let alone the civilian boat of our dart bureau. ”

"The waterway has been blocked?" Zhao Ziqi's brows suddenly wrinkled into the word "Chuan", and his face was surrounded by gloomy clouds, "Can you find out why this is? How long will it take to open it?"

It can't be blamed that Zhao Ziqi is so nervous, it is really the business of this dart game is the biggest financial pillar of the Zhao Mansion, if this business cannot be done, then the financial source of the Zhao Mansion will be at least half.

Just relying on him Zhao Ziqi as a poor man of the government order, he can't support the big family of Zhao Mansion no matter what.

According to the local people, this waterway has been selected as a dojo by the "King of the Canglan River", and then the temple was established. ”

The "King of the Canglan River" was quiet and did not allow any boats to pass by his dojo. At first, some people did not believe in evil, and drove a boat to the waterway of Min'an County, but the result was to sink a boat and sink a boat, and now more than a dozen have been sunk, among which there are also large draft boats full of gold, silver, money and grain from the official family. ”

"It is said that this kind of big ship designed by the imperial court, unless it was caught by wind and waves at sea, should not have sunk in a place like the Canglan River in any case, which is really a bit strange. ”

This matter involved the imperial court, and the local county officials also panicked, so they hurriedly sent people to seal the waterway of Min'an County and did not allow any ships to pass by. ”

The reply given by the Min'an County Government was that the cause of the sinking of the ship for no reason was being investigated, and as soon as the problem was solved, the waterway would be opened immediately. ”

Listening to Zhao Tai's detailed explanation, Zhao Ziqi's eyebrows eased slightly, sighed, and said, "What is this called? Hey, I just hope this problem can be solved as soon as possible." ”
