Chapter 556: Den of Thieves

The state mansion is not far away, and Zhanzhao, Bai Yutang and others arrived in a hurry.

Don't look at the city, it's not very big, but there are a lot of people coming and going, and it's quite prosperous...... Boss Yan's business is really good, and it doesn't take long to see a shop with a signboard with the word "Yan", firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, all of which are his family's business......

Hikofu is very large, but it is not in the city, but on a hill in the suburbs.

Zhan Zhao thought it was strange, "Don't rich people like to buy big houses in the city these days, and other courtyards or something are built in the mountains...... Yan Lao is a wealthy family, and he is not afraid of thieves if he lives in such a remote area? ”

Everyone came to a small road not far from the Yan family's mansion, and looked up at the large manor on the hillside in front of them.

Bai Yutang looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "Is it a coincidence?" The construction method of the Yan family's mansion seems to be the same as that of the Jin family's old mansion. ”

"It does look very similar...... Zhanzhao also felt that it was close.

"This kind of house is called a city-state house." At this time, Wu Yiyi spoke.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him.

"The slope of the old Jin family's mansion was a bit bottomed before, but I don't think this Yan family's mansion is more obvious." Wu Yiwu said, "This is not the construction method of ordinary houses, but the construction method of the city-state, the mountains under the house should be hollowed out, convenient for hiding things, there is no wall around this, if the wall is enclosed, it will become a small city-state, the outside cannot be attacked, the storage inside can live for several years, and it is convenient to hide!" If you hollow out the mountain and fill it with organs, no matter how many people you enter, you may not be able to catch your own family. ”

Long Qiaoguang pursed his lips, "Isn't this the method of copycat thieves' nests?" ”

"It can also be said that it is rare in these years, and it was very common in the past when there was a shortage of wars." Wu Yiwu said, "This house is indeed the same as the old mansion of the Jin family. ”

"The mountain behind the old house of the Jin family is hollowed out and a golden Buddha is hidden, what do you guess is hidden under this mountain?" Zhan Zhao asked Feng Chuanfeng about the three-headed Jintuo.

Feng Chuanfeng frowned, there was no sect or person related to this on the rivers and lakes, he just knew some folk legends.

"The house is in front, how can I check?" Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao.

"Easy to do." Without waiting for Zhanzhao to speak, Long Qiaoguang said, "Go in and check." ”

"Go in?" Zhan Zhao and the others all looked at him.

Long Qiaoguang smiled, "Let's just say that I went to buy military rations, and asked him for a million catties of rice, such a big deal, Yan Lao naturally wants to come out in person." ”

"It's a good excuse to buy rice...... Zhanzhao nodded.

"It's not all excuses, either." Long Qiao Guangdao, "Originally, it was also the time to purchase military rations every year, this year there was more rain, and there was not much grain in the north, so it was natural to come to the south to buy it, and this year there was also a large naval army village in the south." ”

Zhan Zhao and the others thought about it, and it was indeed the best excuse.

So, everyone went up the mountain in their own right.

Along the way, Zhanzhao noticed that Wu Yiwu was looking at the mansion all the way, and seemed to be thoughtful.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "Uncle Xiaoxiao, what do you think is wrong?" ”

Wu Yiwu looked at Zhanzhao and said, "Hmm...... Didn't Taishi Pang say before that there were liars in Jiangnan? ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"I also remember that there was indeed such a group of people who used this method to make money." Wu Yijiao said, "That gang is called Fan Ju, and the business on the surface is to open inns in various places, which can also be said to be black shops, but they are not black people in this store." Fanju is their base camp, where all kinds of liars, thieves, and murderers live, in short, they are very cunning, and the methods used are also strange, and they come to all kinds of tricks, and they have amassed a lot of wealth. ”

"How many years ago was that?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Hmm...... It's been a lot of years, let alone sixty years. Wu Yiyi said.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "How could you suddenly think of them?" Does it have anything to do with Boss Hiko? ”

"If you want to talk about relationships, Fan Ju's boss is surnamed Yan." Wu Yiyi said, "Do you think it's a coincidence?" ”

"One surname Yan, one surname Yan." Zhan Zhao nodded, "It's indeed a bit of a coincidence, especially if everything is connected......

……

Everyone walked to the door of the Yan family's mansion and knocked on the door.

After a while, an old man who looked like a housekeeper came out and opened the door, glanced out, a little puzzled, "How many, who are you looking for?" ”

"Find your master." Zhan Zhao Road.

"Uh, what's the matter?" The housekeeper asked.

"We are in the army and want to buy military rations." Zhan Zhao Road.

"Oh...... It turned out to be a military master. The butler asked, "What do you call it, I'll go and report to the master." ”

Zhan Zhao pointed at Long Qiaoguang, "Right General Long Qiaoguang." ”

The butler gasped, "Alas, I'll go now, wait a little bit...... and run away.

Everyone is chattering - you're pretty famous.

Long Qiao looked at the sky, Lao Tzu is a general, a first-class official!

Zhan Zhao and the others touched their chins - that's right, the four generals are all equivalent to one product, that's a big official...... Tut! Although he looks like a bandit.

Sure enough, there were a lot of people running out of the "uproar", and Boss Yan didn't even wear his hat properly, so he rushed out, shouting while rushing, "Distinguished guests!" ”

……

Everyone looked at Boss Nayan, who was in his sixties and in good health, and at first glance he was a businessman, full of joy and politeness.

When Boss Yan arrived at the door, he didn't know which one was the right general, but he felt quite an identity when he looked at it.

Long Qiaoguang took out Zhao Jiajun's gold medal and showed it to him, so that he didn't have to be polite.

Boss Yan led everyone into the mansion, and while being polite, he asked curiously, "To purchase military rations, General You actually came in person?" ”

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang - this old man was quite cautious.

Bai Yutang gestured to Zhan Zhao - look at the side of the courtyard.

Zhan Zhao turned his face to look over, and saw a huge stone screen against the wall, and the four big characters of "full of gold and jade" looked inexplicably familiar, including the carving style of the entire stone screen......

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightlyβ€”isn't this the same as the screen in the door of the Jin family's old mansion!

Bai Yutang nodded, the two of them tacitly knew that the relationship between the two families was really extraordinary.

Long Qiaoguang didn't care about Zhanzhao and their investigation of the case, there are certain rules and procedures for purchasing grain in the military camp, and he hasn't bought it before, just follow the rules.

Seeing that the old man was puzzled, Long Qiao Guang said, "The marshal has always been careful, and the sources of all the military rations of the Zhao family army have been personally checked and determined by several of our generals. ”

"Oh, yes, yes!" Boss Yan smeared his mouth full of honey, and praised Zhao Jiajun for being a good man...... When he walked to the living room, he praised Long Qiaoguang and wanted to admit his relatives to him-you can talk better than me!

The Yan family's house is very magnificent, but it also has some taste, and it deserves the title of the richest man in the local area.

Bai Yutang observed it and found that the house was heavily guarded, and there was no shortage of masters in the housekeeper.

Zhanzhao frowned, the security here in the state of the state is good...... There seem to be too many thugs in Yan Lao's family, and one or two martial arts seem to be good, and they are not young. Who is Zhanzhao? The three hundred demon heads of the Demon Palace looked at them growing up, and he felt at a glance that these were not at all like some kind of generals, they were simply people from the rivers and lakes, and they seemed to have retired, and they were so wary of them.

Entering the reception hall, everyone was seated.

Long Qiaoguang and Boss Yan were talking about things related to the purchase of military rations, and the old man was frowning when he talked about business, and it seemed that he didn't doubt everyone's origin at all.

Zhan Zhao looked around and found that Wu Yiwu was holding a cup, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at Boss Yan. And Feng Chuanfeng, who was sitting next to Wu Yicao, also touched the beard on his chin, and looked at Boss Yan's eyes as if he had a deep meaning. The two old men glanced at each other from time to time, as if they were exchanging something.

In the end, Long Qiaoguang proposed to take a look at the warehouse where the grain was stored and the field where the grain was grown, and Boss Yan agreed. However, the fields needed to be seen tomorrow, and he thought that everyone had come from Black Wind City, so he stayed for the night. Zhan Zhao and the others naturally agreed, waiting for your words.

Came to the guest room of the Yan family, and when he entered the house, Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao, "Mao'er, this house is exactly the same as the old mansion of the Jin family, only the direction of the opening of the door is different." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, he also felt strange, when he was walking in the yard just now, he actually had the illusion of walking into the backyard of the Jin family's old mansion.

"There's another point, which is very suspicious." Wu Yijiao said, "This Yan boss looks too similar to Yan Wei, the owner of Fan Ju back then. ”

Feng Chuanfeng nodded, "If there is no calculation error, this should be Yan Wei's son!" ”

Wu Yiwu smiled slightly, "We can be regarded as entering the den of thieves!" ”

At this time, the housekeeper outside brought refreshments with his subordinates, and said, "Several generals have worked hard all the way, take a break for a while, and the master has prepared a dinner party to entertain ......"

Long Qiaoguang waved his hand, "No need, I'm not here to eat." ”

The housekeeper smiled, "I want it, my old man heard that General Right was coming, and he also said that he wanted to come out to meet." ”

"Sir?" Wu Yiwu was slightly surprised.

"Is that your father?" Feng Chuanfeng smiled, "Your master looks not small." ”

"Huh." The housekeeper also smiled, "My old man is the longest-lived within a radius of 100 miles, and he is more than 100 this year!" ”

"Yes......" Wu Yiwu smiled slightly.

Feng Chuanfeng also found it funny - he wasn't even dead yet! When you see Wu Yiwu for a while, will you faint?

The butler put down his things and said a few polite words before leaving.

"Is it really Yan Wei?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"β–‘β–‘ don't leave ten." Wu Yiwu said coldly, "Fortunately, I also came, otherwise you would be careful of being harmed by him." ”

"He's a bad guy?" Long Qiaoguang took out the poison test needle given to him by Gongsun and poked it everywhere to see if it was poisoned.

Feng Chuanfeng said coldly, "Yan Wei thought that he was the king of thieves back then, this person was insatiable and insidious, and this case had something to do with him." ”

Wu Yiwu also nodded.

"Doesn't he know you?" Bai Yutang asked Wu Yijiao.

"Not only do you know, but you also have a deep hatred." Wu Yiwu said slowly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him - then you are still so calm?

Wu Yiwu smiled slightly, it is estimated that when I eat for a while, if the old man is not blind, it will definitely be wonderful to see my expression.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, not knowing why...... Inexplicably, I was a little bit looking forward to it.

……

Not to mention that Zhanzhao and the others found out the thief family, Kaifeng is also very lively.

Tianzun and Yin Hou are going to give Taixue a lesson tomorrow, this is difficult to kill these two martial saints, and everyone will try it in Kaifeng Mansion to teach Bao Yan and them.

Yin Hou looked at the young men who looked like bean sprouts with disgust, thought about it, and let Tianzun teach first.

Tianzun still thought that Yin Hou was too fierce and frightened the children, so he kindly and patiently taught about half a cup of tea kung fu...... Tianzun overturned all the stone tables in the courtyard, "Pig! Stupid! I can't teach one heart three times! Little Five have learned! ”

Bao Yan and the others looked at the sky, and the old immortal couldn't understand the mental method at all, what kind of qi, acupoints, and internal strength...... Who has the internal strength here? The only thing in my stomach is my fart......

Xiao Sizi shook his head, although he didn't understand a word.

Xiao Liangzi also jumped on the side, saying that Bao Yan was stupid to death!

This group is the pride of the sky, except for Pang Yu, who is often scolded, where have others been scolded for being stupid? So, one or two thoughts drooped his head.

Lin Yueyi had been watching from the sidelines, and she walked up and poked Tianzun.

Tianzun looked at her, and Yi Yi showed him all the things Tianzun had taught just now.

Tianzun clapped his hands after reading it, "This is good!" Let her compare. ”

Lin Yehuo raised his hand, "I'm against it." ”

Yi looked at her brother.

Zhao Pu also said, "If the other party has a woman, then it doesn't matter if Yiyi fights with others, but this academy is all men, how can a yellow flower girl compete with others on stage?" Besides, you learn so many boys, you want a girl to go out for you to take the martial arts test, and you are not afraid of being laughed at in the future? ”

Everyone looked at each other, but too.

"It's better to let Lin Xiao practice." Lin Yehuo said, "Looking at it, that kid can still carve and carve, and the others are rice buckets, useless." ”

At this time, the Purple Shadow and the Ochre Shadow came.

The little fourth son who was sitting on the table and shook his head hurriedly called the two of them, it turned out that these two were sent out by the little fourth son to find out the enemy's situation.

Ziying only pouted, chewing the root of his ear with the little fourth son, "Oops! There are many famous masters in those three major academies! ”

Xiao Sizi was surprised, "Really? ”

Ziying nodded vigorously, "Every academy has at least one rising star who is a little famous in the rivers and lakes, and the Qiankun Academy is even more outrageous, and it has invited masters of several sects to teach, what Wudang, Shaolin, they all say that they want to win the Tianshan faction and the Demon Palace." ”

Yin Hou and Tianzun's eyes narrowed.

Tianzun was dissatisfied, "What does this group of rice buckets have to do with my Tianshan faction?" ”

Yin Hou also nodded, "There are no scholars in my Demon Palace!" ”

Ochre Shadow spread his hands, "But after all, it has already been spread, and the students of Taixue have been taught by the two of you." ”

Tianzun and Yin Hou's teeth creaked - a lifetime of fame!

Zhao Pu thought for a while, "Actually, if you fight, you don't have to fight with real swords and guns, Zhuge Liang can't fight, and you can't win the war?" The generals to be trained by Taixue are naturally not small soldiers, but should be handsome. ”

Everyone nodded and felt that it made sense, and Tianzun asked, "What do you have to mention?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled, "If you will lose if you fight alone, you may not lose if you fight in a group." ”

Bao Yan and the others all tilted their heads - a group fight?

Zhao Pudao, "I'll go into the palace to discuss with the emperor, let him formulate the competition, and what moths will come out of the province, and everyone will prepare for the competition system with ......the competition system."

Before Zhao Pu finished speaking, Ge Qing ran in with his tilted head, and asked when he entered the door, "The competition system is down!" Did you see it? ”

Everyone was stunned, looking at Zhao Pu,

Zhao Pu smiled and shook his head - Zhao Zhen is better than a monkey!

"The yellow list just posted." Ge Qing specially brought one to everyone.

Bao Yan and the others spread it out and took a look, and the time for the competition in the four academies was set for half a month later. The items of the competition were set by Zhao Zhen himself, and they were divided into two days in total, the first astronomical test and the second day of the martial arts test.

The literary test is divided into piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knowledge of the past and the present. Qinqi, calligraphy and painting are naturally easy to understand, this knowledge of ancient and modern, relying on the ability to read and memorize, Zhao Zhen will send scholars to ask a variety of tricky and strange questions on the subset of history, everyone answers together, can not answer the elimination, the last one is considered to win. As for what kind of test method this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is, it is not an ordinary test, and it will be announced at that time.

The next day's martial arts test was only one, Zhao Zhen said almost the same thing as Zhao Pu said just now on the imperial list, the four major academies to cultivate not brave generals but handsome talents, so there will be a special martial arts test, the location of the competition is in the paddock, and the major academies need to produce ten students at that time.

Everyone looked at Zhao Pu - he really hit the middle.

Zhao Pu shook his head with a cup - that is, I thought that being the emperor would cause chaos? Although his purpose in asking these questions is just to watch a good show......

……

"Ah sneeze ......" In the palace, Zhao Zhen sneezed and rubbed his nose.

Xiao Xiangxiang sat on the dragon leash in front of him, took a handkerchief and wiped his nose, "Father, why are you so happy?" ”

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth curled, "It's funny to think about it......" said while kneading his daughter's dough face, "Half a month later, my father will take you to see a good show." ”

Xiao Xiangxiang clapped her hands.

At this moment, the Eight Kings walked in, and inexplicably had an illusion, how could Xiangxiang's expression at this time be so similar to Zhao Zhen when he saw Bao Zheng and Pang Ji fighting when he was a child......
