Late at night.

After finding Tianzun who ran out for supper but got lost, and staring at him to sleep honestly, Bai Yutang finally returned to Meow Meow Tower.

When I opened the door, I saw an interesting picture in front of me.

Zhanzhao had already slept, but left him a lamp on the table.

On the floor in the middle, the shark was lying in the nest, and on the big blanket, the shark pillowed Xiao Wu's belly and fell asleep obediently.

Bai Yutang gently closed the door and turned around, looking at him with open eyes.

Bai Yutang walked over, squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the neck of the mermaid, while looking at the shark.

Bai Yutang was still a little uncomfortable - it stands to reason that the shark doesn't need to sleep and eat, because he doesn't exist physically at all. However, Zhanzhao seems to like to treat him as a human being, and there is no need to ask, it was the cat who taught him this childish sleeping position.

Bai Yutang was distracted when he saw the shark stretch out his hand, and his fingers lightly touched his forehead.

The moment Bai Yutang touched his fingers on his forehead, Zhanzhao's appearance appeared in front of him for a moment, the cat seemed to have just taken a bath, got into front of the quilt, and said to the shark, "When the mouse came back, tell him to drink the ginseng tea on the table and go to sleep." ”

Bai Yutang turned his head, there was a cup of ginseng tea on the table, and when he reached out and touched it, the soup cup was still warm.

Reaching out to take it, Bai Yutang hated the earthy smell of ginseng the most, but he still drank it with a frown, and after drinking it, he put the ginseng tea on the table, stretched out his hand and patted the shark's head gently, "Take a break, see you tomorrow morning." ”

The shark lay back, leaning on Xiao Wu, and then, gradually faded and disappeared.

Bai Yutang stood up, and saw that Zhan Zhao didn't know when Lu Dao turned around, the quilt covered half of his face, and he showed a pair of eyes, looking at a gap in the carpet after the shark disappeared.

Bai Yutang looked at him for a while, walked to his bed, and suddenly seemed to remember something, walked back, put something next to Zhanzhao's pillow, and went to lie down and rest.

Zhan Zhao blinked, Bai Yutang had put a brocade box on his pillow just now.

Stretched out his hand from the quilt, took the brocade box and opened it, Zhan Zhao smiled, inside the brocade box was a string of quaint ebony bracelets, and the black hair was cleverly inlaid in the ebony, forming a pattern like the scale texture on the shark's body.

Zhan Zhao put the bracelet on, slipped it into his sleeve, slid it on top of his forearm, and wore it side by side with the dzi chain. Next to the priceless dzi, this wooden bracelet is not inferior at all, and only the rat can make such a beautiful and interesting thing.

Zhan Zhao retracted his hand back into the quilt, turned over, and said in a sullen voice, "See you tomorrow morning." ”

Bai Yutang also turned over, smiled lightly, and slept peacefully.

……

The next morning, Bai Yutang woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a blue face directly above.

The fifth master was startled, and opened his eyes suddenly, only to see clearly that it was a shark.

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, heard a muffled laughter, turned his face to look, and saw that Zhanzhao had woken up, was putting on his shoes, and said, "Who told you to tell him about the morning last night?" When I woke up today, I saw him standing next to you, waiting to see you in the morning. ”

Bai Yutang was also a little crying and laughing, and when he got up and wanted to get his clothes, the shark reached out and took it for him, and his movements were extremely fast, like Zhanzhao.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao, and Zhanzhao raised his eyebrows, "No thanks." ”

"Do you think he'll be like you in a few days?" Bai Yutang felt that with Zhanzhao's playful energy, it might not be long before the shark could transform.

While he was getting dressed, there was a knock at the door.

The shark flashed over and opened the door, and the little fourth son rushed in, hugged the shark and said good morning first, while rushing straight to Zhanzhao's bed.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and hugged the little fourth son, "Little fourth son, are you so energetic early in the morning?" ”

"Hmm!" The fourth child nodded happily, "Jiujiu said that today's recruitment and promotion are coming, and the Nine Kings' Mansion is going to have a treat." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, knowing in their hearts, tonight they were going to design to scare those suspicious officials, Zhao Pu estimated that he would take this opportunity to let them observe first.

Of course, Zhao Pu's invitation still has other purposes.

Ouyang Shaozheng took office as a new official, unlike Zhao Pu, Ouyang is not a royal family and is young, although everyone knows that he has the ability, but this kind of qualifications still needs to make more friends in the imperial city. Zhao Pu just asked those officials to save face and ask them to take more care of their brothers in the future.

On the other hand, Zhao Pu is not an unreasonable person, the imperial city and the border pass are all his people, and he has to leave a way for others to live, right? So this time, Zhao Pu really wanted to observe, find some capable "talents", and join the army.

If you really want to fight, you will naturally have a future with Zhao Puming, no matter how big the imperial city is, it is also a guard leader, don't look at the position of the commander of the imperial city army, so many people grab it, Ouyang himself is not happy, who wants to be this Laoshizi, how fun it is to stay at the border and be a pioneer officer.

Ouyang is awkward, but seeing that his father is also old, it is more reassuring to stay in the imperial city to accompany him, and he should fulfill his filial piety, so he reluctantly agreed.

Zhan Zhao rubbed the little fourth son and asked him, "Why are you so happy Zhao Pu has a treat?" ”

"I had a dream last night!" The little fourth son seems to have had a good dream, and he smiles when he thinks about it.

Bai Yutang asked the little fourth son curiously, "What did you dream of Meicheng like this?" ”

The little fourth son is happy, "I dreamed that cats make a lot of money!" ”

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to himself, "I made a lot of money?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Sizi happily stretched out his hands and gestured, "I saw that you were holding such a big wooden basin to receive gold." ”

Zhanzhao's eyebrows were raised, "Take the gold?" Where does the gold come from? ”

Xiao Sizi stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, "Falling from the sky!" ”

Bai Yutang was already dressed, and he felt funny when he heard it, "How can gold fall from the sky?" ”

Xiao Sizi shook his head, "I don't know, I just saw this scene, the cat is so happy, and the laughter is blooming." ”

Zhanzhao thinks about it, it's all gold in the sky, isn't this happy?

"Little Fourth Son, did you see me taking the money, was it during the day or at night?"

"Daytime!" The little fourth son replied, "The weather is good! ”

"When did Zhao Pu invite guests to dinner?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Lunch." As soon as the fourth child finished answering, he heard a voice from the door, "Are you all up?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked out, and saw Lin Yehuo sneaking in in a fiery new dress, holding a glass bowl in his hand and a big spoon in one hand, the bowl was full of a bowl of soup, green, I don't know what it was, sticky and thick.

Zhan Zhao was slightly curious and asked, "What did you eat early in the morning?" ”

"Fruit paste." Lin Yehuo replied, asking Zhanzhao, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Zhanzhao, a foodie, rarely has a feeling of disgust for food, "Why do you want to grind fruit like this?" ”

"A unique recipe!" Lin Yehuo raised his eyebrows.

As he spoke, Yi Yi also slipped in outside the door, holding the same bowl in his hand, and inside was the same paste as in Lin's night fire bowl. Gongsun came in after them. Smiled, "The fruit paste adds a lot of licorice and pearl powder or something, in addition to the beauty of the stomach is good, the elderly and children are most suitable to eat, eating this can also control the weight, but the taste may be a little strange, I also prescribed the same recipe for the master, I am afraid that he will not eat it." ”

Lin Yehuo sat next to Zhanzhao, patted the head of the little fourth son, and asked him, "Is my sister good-looking?" ”

The little fourth son nodded, "Sister Yiyi is getting better and better every day!" ”

Lin Yehuo was satisfied.

After listening to the words of the little fourth son, everyone subconsciously looked at Lin Yueyi behind Lin Yehuo, not to mention, Yi Yi called Lin Yehuo to raise it really ...... was originally a beauty embryo, and her eldest brother taught her how to dress up every day, and it was indeed getting more and more Peugeot day by day.

Yiyi asked the little fourth son, "Little fourth son, shall we go to the play in a while?" ”

"Uh-huh! When Xiao Liangzi comes back from practice, we will go to have breakfast and then go to the garden. The little fourth son nodded, and asked Zhanzhao, "Is the cat going?" ”

Zhan Zhaole was happy, "I'm going to watch the theater today, but I'm not going to the theater garden." ”

"Where to look?" The little fourth son asked with a raised face.

"Hmm." Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Go to Zhao Pu's house to see...... That's right! ”

Saying that, Zhan Zhao touched his head, "Today I have to wait to get the basin to receive the money, I have good luck today, right?" ”

Xiao Sizi nodded, "Hmm! Cats are red today! ”

Zhan Zhao was happy, and the dynasty outside ran in, "Lord Zhan! Zhan-sama is not good. ”

Everyone sighed silently, and sure enough, as long as the dynasty Mahan, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu were called "Lord Zhan", the next sentence must be "not good".

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao is helpless, don't say that he is lucky today, and there is an accident again!

Wang Chao said, "The largest pawnshop in Kaifeng was stolen last night. ”

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned.

Bai Yutang asked, "The largest pawnshop in Kaifeng...... Which one is it? ”

"Chen Ji." Wang Chao said, "The pawnshop of Chen Yuan's foreign family." ”

Zhanzhao frowned, "How much is the loss?" ”

"Chen Yuanwai said at least one million taels." Dynasty replied.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, and the fourth son asked his grandson curiously, "Daddy, the pawnshop has so much money?" ”

Gongsun was also surprised, "That's right." ”

Wang Chao was helpless and said, "There is a vault under Chen Yuanwai's pawnshop, and most of his savings are stored in it. ”

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Is it like the treasury of Yutang Baifu?" ”

Wang Chao shook his head, "His one can be hidden, hidden underground, the treasury of the fifth master's house is like a firewood room, without locks......"

Everyone looked at Bai Yutang Yi.

The fifth master was holding a teacup - the money was just used to spend, what were you doing under the ground? Sick?

"Look at the trick, it's an acquaintance, right?" Gongsun asked.

"We think we do." Wang Dynasty nodded, "One million taels, it will take several cars just to move, and no one has found out." ”

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "The gang stole it?" There's no reason, who's so bold? Or who is so capable? ”

"Indeed." Bai Yutang put down the teacup, and when he saw Xiao Liangzi, who was sweating profusely after finishing the exercises, handed him a cup of tea, and said, "Recently, the Imperial City has strengthened its vigilance, and there are a large number of Imperial City Army patrols every night, and a team will run over in half an hour on average, who can grasp the time and steal so much money unknowingly in the interval between the Imperial City Army passing?" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I'm thinking about this too...... It's such a coincidence, Ouyang just took office yesterday, and there is such a big case today. ”

Gongsun grabbed Xiao Liangzi to wipe his sweat and asked, "There are so many rich families in the imperial city, but they just steal Chen Yuan's foreign family." ”

"That's right." Zhan Zhao nodded, "Chen Yuanwai has so much money hidden in the vault, and he doesn't send someone to guard it?" Every household in Kaifeng Mansion has a contact signal, and when it encounters danger, as long as it is thrown into the sky, some people will save it. ”

"Chen Yuanwai......" Xiao Liangzi suddenly touched his chin and asked, "Is that bald?" It's quite fat, and the pawnshop near the tea garden is the one he opened, and his face is always oily? ”

Dynasty nodded.

Xiao Liangzi's face was profound, "Hmm......"

Gongsun saw that Xiao Liangzi looked like a big ghost again, and pinched his face, "What did you find out about your clever ghost?" ”

"Yesterday, when Jin'er and I came out of the palace, we saw a few old men surrounding Brother Ouyang, and their mouths were as sweet as if they had been smeared with honey, and they were spitting stars flying all over the sky."

Everyone was amused by Xiao Liangzi's words, but yesterday Ouyang was promoted, and it was normal for the ministers in the palace to surround him and say some New Year's greetings.

"And then?" Bai Yutang asked.

Xiao Liang took the hand of the little fourth son who took clean clothes to change for him, "Jin'er, do you remember the day we went to the tea garden and saw that chubby bald old man?" ”

The little fourth son tilted his head, "Which day?" ”

"A few months ago, before we went to Black Wind City, we went to the tea garden to eat mung bean cake that day."

"Oh!" Xiao Sizi nodded and remembered, "You said that bald fat uncle's belly is bigger than a small belly." ”

Xiao Liangzi nodded, "He was eating at the same table with a few other uncles, and he was very generous when he rewarded his guys, and we also said that sure enough, the local tyrants are not like big brothers." ”

Xiao Sizi covered his mouth and nodded while laughing.

Everyone looked at Bai Yutang and said in their hearts - what are these two children talking about in private?

"And then the point?" Gongsun patted Xiao Liangzi.

Xiao Liang said, "I saw yesterday that the old men and uncles who said New Year's greetings to Brother Ouyang were the ones who ate with that fat and bald head. ”

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked Xiao Liangzi, "When did you leave the palace yesterday?" ”

"In the afternoon, I'll wait for Master to go together, but who knows that Master Lu Dao slipped away first, I'll wait for Brother Ouyang to go together."

"The last one who came out with Ouyang yesterday should be someone from the other Imperial City Army, right?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Lao Tzu plus son." Gongsun added, "The older ones should be Lao Tzu." ”

"Is there a possibility of collusion?" Bai Yutang asked.

Gongsun frowned, "Are they trying to give Ouyang a dismissal?" ”

"The possibility of collusion is indeed very high." Zhan Zhao said, "If there is no money at all, and Chen Yuanwai lies, we may never find out the whereabouts of that money, and the case will never be solved." ”

"Let's listen to what Chen Yuanwai has to say." Zhan Zhao dragged it up to Bai Yutang.

When he arrived at the door, Zhan Zhao turned around and asked Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi, "Do you want to go together?" Stop by for breakfast. ”

Xiao Liangzi and Xiao Sizi both looked at Gongsun, and it happened that Gongsun was going to help Zhao Pu today, so they nodded, and the two children happily followed Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang out.

Lin Yehuo dragged Yi Yi, "Let's go too." ”

Mi Mi and Xiao Wu also followed, and of course, there were also sharks who followed Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang closely, so they ...... A group of people left Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the case of Chen Mansion.

Bai Yutang saw Zhanzhao turning the chain in his hand while walking, and he was in a good mood, and asked with a smile, "Mao'er, are you so happy to handle the case?" ”

Zhan Zhao put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky from time to time, and smiled, "The little four sons all opened Chrysostom and said that I would have good luck today, and I also think that my luck should be good today." ”

Bai Yutang laughed - Zhan Zhao seemed to have some idea and was ready to play a prank.

Not far away, Taibai Ju is upstairs.

Tianzun held a bowl of wontons and looked at the people of Kaifeng Mansion who were walking downstairs, "Where are they going early in the morning?" ”

Yin Hou also glanced at it, "There are a lot of officials around the tea garden, something is wrong?" ”

"Another case?" Master Wusha also came to watch.

At the table behind the three of them, Lu Tianhan was drinking tea, and Lu Ling'er was drinking tofu brains while sandwiching a bun for his father.

Lu Tianhan asked, "Chen Xing'er said that you didn't go back to your room to sleep last night, where did you go?" ”

"I'm on the roof of Meow Meow." Lu Ling'er replied, "It's comfortable at night, the wind is comfortable, and the night view of Kaifeng is beautiful." ”

Lu Tianhan was helpless, "How many times have I told you that girls' families don't always stay on the roof at night, go back to the room to sleep." ”

Lu Ling'er pouted, "It's comfortable outside!" ”

"You were on the roof of Meow Meow last night?" Yin Hou asked Lu Ling'er, "Did you see anything unusual?" ”

Lu Ling'er thought for a while and shook her head, "No, it was quiet last night." ”

"Maybe there's something fun." Tianzun put down the bowl and wanted to run after Bai Yutang and them.

Yin Hou tugged at his neck, "Don't make trouble, there are a lot of things to do today." ”

Tianzun frowned and stretched his neck to look at Zhan Zhao in the distance where they were going, and he was still struggling twice, but suddenly stopped and stared ahead.

Yin Hou looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Tianzun stretched out his hand, rubbed his eyes, and then looked around.

Lu Tianhan and Wusha also felt that something was wrong and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

Tianzun sat back, looked at everyone, and then held his face, "Hell in broad daylight!" ”

The crowd looked at each other.

Tianzun held his face, "Is it wrong?" ”

"That's right."

At this moment, a voice came.

When everyone looked up, they saw Xiao Changtian sitting on the windowsill on the second floor at some point, holding a pancake in his hand, and saying while nibbling, "I saw it too." ”
