Everyone had a good time at dinner, Bai Xia was a good drinker, and he pulled Tianzun Yin Hou Bao Master Pang Taishi to fight for wine, and a group of adults played more crazy than young people.

Bai Yutang took care of picking vegetables for Zhanzhao, Zhao Pu took care of picking vegetables for Gongsun, Gongsun took care of feeding Xiaosizi and Xiao Liang, and Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang were eating and talking...... Ouyang Shaozheng squatted on the roof with a rice bowl and looked around...... It's not that he is a sentry, but there are too many beauties in this Snow Palace! casually walked past the ten streets of the Oiran that a maid had thrown off the seal, and Ouyang came here to feast his eyes.

After dinner, Bai Xia put everyone down alone, and Zhanzhao asked Bai Yutang in horror, "Why is your father so good at drinking so well if he doesn't know kung fu?" ”

Bai Yutang was also helpless, "He has always been like this, he has never been drunk." ”

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, could it be that Yutang's alcohol consumption is with his father......

"Yutang."

At this time, Lu Xue'er went to Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao to sit down, she didn't have dinner with everyone, so she served the dishes. Madame Bai paid attention to her beauty, and after the afternoon she did not eat, and when she was hungry, she would eat fruit or drink some desserts.

Zhan Zhao held his chin and felt that it was too - such a beauty is really a tyrannical thing if she doesn't take good care of it.

Lu Xue'er sat down, handed Zhanzhao a bowl of snow clam white fungus soup, held her own bowl, and fed Bai Yutang a mouthful to her mouth.

Bai Yutang doesn't like to eat sweets very much, so Lu Xue'er is used to feeding him two bites when she eats by herself. However, judging from the situation of eating just now, Lu Xueer found that her son, who has not paid much attention to eating since he was a child, is much more obedient when he eats now. It was mainly given to him by Zhanzhao, and he would try his best to eat it......

Lu Xue'er narrowed her eyes - show affection or something, tsk.

When Bai Yutang saw his mother sitting beside him squinting, he knew that she had something to order, so he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Lu Xue'er smiled and said, "You can help your mother go to the street later." ”

Bai Yutang nodded, but he was still a little puzzled - what did her mother have that she needed him to run overnight without ordering her subordinates?

Lu Xue'er was mysterious, and looked at Bai Xia on the side...... I saw that Bai Xia was fighting with Ouyang Shaozheng for wine, and I didn't notice this.

Lu Xue'er stuffed a note into Bai Yutang's hand, "Go to this address to pick up something." ”

Bai Yutang looked at it, it was an address, and it was in the street market not far south of Yingxue Palace. Bai Yutang probably understood, maybe it was a birthday gift that his mother prepared for his father or something.

So, Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, who was seriously drinking soup, "After dinner, go out for a walk?" ”

"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded, "I'll take Xiao Wu to yo-yo too, it's been too fat lately......"

"I'll go too."

A voice came, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang lowered their heads, and saw that Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang had arrived at their side at some point, with their faces up, what it meant - eat well! It is necessary to get out of the sand to eliminate food.

Gongsun happened to continue practicing boxing at night, he rushed to this car, and he was a little neglectful of boxing, so he asked Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang to bring the little fourth son by the way.

The two readily agreed, but when they finished dinner and went out, they followed Bao Yan and Pang Yu.

Bao Yan heard that there were a lot of books in the bazaar in the south of the city, and he followed Bao Daren on patrol this time, in addition to assisting in the investigation of the case, he also had a special job, which was to buy books. The local chronicles and geographical chronicles of the places you pass through, including customs and people's feelings, you can collect as much as you can, and go back to expand the library of Kaifeng Mansion.

Pang Yu was responsible for helping him move the book, and by the way, he inquired about gossip along the way...... Don't look at him always asking questions about what he doesn't have, but sometimes it can really come in handy.

The four big, two small and the little five, left the Yingxue Palace together, and not far away, Ziying and Ochre Shadow also came, chatting while walking behind

At this time, it was almost dark, and Bai Yutang told everyone that the market in the south was particularly lively, and there were many fun and delicious things at night.

Zhan Zhao subconsciously felt it - he was lucky that he didn't eat a lot at night, it wasn't very good, and he had walked so far...... I guess I'll be able to eat something delicious in a while.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Where did your mother let you go to get things?" ”

Bai Yutang looked at the note, and was also a little puzzled, "Qijia Hutong on the west side of Xinghualou, go down the second corner and turn around...... The innermost one, there is a stone monkey at the door. ”

"Stone monkeys?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "Just like the stone lion and stone unicorn, it is used for the town house?" ”

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I don't know, it's the first time I've heard of it, I haven't been to this family before." However, the Qijia Hutong is full of weirdos. ”

"How weird?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Well, they are all buying and selling, and the things they sell are not rare treasures, but they are all relatively rare." As he spoke, Xiao Liang and Xiao Sizi, who were walking in front of him holding hands, said, "You two can buy something in the shop at the entrance of Qijia Hutong for a while." ”

Xiao Sizi and Xiao Haoqi.

Xiao Liang asked, "Is there anything rare in that shop?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "There are two shops, one sells rare candy, the owner of that candy shop is a Persian, he has traveled everywhere, and the candy in his shop is unique, not only delicious but also beautiful." ”

Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang's eyes lit up.

"And then the house next door that sells candy sells toys." Bai Yutang continued, "There are a lot of strange things in it. Then I realized that at the first turn of the road, there were bookstores selling all kinds of ancient books. ”

Bao Yan's eyes widened, "What an attractive look." ”

"I haven't been to the second bend." Bai Yutang shrugged, "I always thought that the people in the alley were all residents. ”

This bazaar is not far away, it is not close, everyone is not fast, it took more than half an hour to walk, fortunately Xiao Wu carried the little four, so he was not tired.

Wait until you enter the gate of the bazaar...... Just in time for the lights to come on.

Zhanzhao and others always thought that the bazaar was probably a market or a place where many shops gathered, but now they look at it...... It's a very large city. Although it is relatively small, the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs, and they are very lively.

"Wow!" Xiao Sizi hurriedly grabbed Xiao Liang's hand on the side, "Xiao Liangzi, there are many people here, you have to be careful of getting lost!" ”

Xiao Liang grabbed the little fourth son's hand and rubbed it - Jin'er is so well-behaved and cute!

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at Xiao Sizi a little weakly-don't look at him as the most useless group, but he was quite protective, and he couldn't figure out the situation...... Tribal ancestry? But what is he like Yinhou?

The people of the rivers and lakes who may come to the state capital also come to this market at night, so there are surprisingly many people. Zhan Zhao was afraid that Xiao Sizi would be squeezed, so he stretched out his hand to hug him and walked, Pang Yu and Bao Yan sandwiched Xiao Liangzi in the middle, and one of them pulled him with one hand. Fortunately, Xiao Wu walked beside him, and many passers-by ran away in fear when they saw it.

"Cat, I'm a little thirsty." Xiao Sizi put his arms around Zhanzhao's neck and said.

Zhanzhao looked at Bai Yutang, and Bai Yutang pointed to a teahouse in front of him, "It's just right, let's go and rest." ”

Walk to the bottom of the teahouse and look up, the plaque on the three words "Xinghualou".

Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, "It's here so soon?" ”

Pang Yu took a few steps back and looked aside, and sure enough, there were many alleys. Don't look at the north here, the structure of the house is a bit like a Jiangnan family...... There are many alleys, with glazed tiles and white walls on both sides.

"Xinghualou dim sum is the most famous." Bai Yutang led everyone into the door, and sure enough, the guy who greeted him knew him, "Yo! Fifth Master! ”

With a word, the originally noisy teahouse suddenly quieted down, and at the same time, many people looked back. One by one, the gaze shifted from Bai Yutang to Zhanzhao, and then from Zhanzhao to Pang Yu Baoyan, Yingwei and the two children...... Including the big tiger, they were all looked at in various ways.

All this happened in an instant, and the second sentence came out, "Fifth master, you haven't been here for a few days!" ”

"Oh, here's the time it comes." The shopkeeper of the teahouse, who was busy settling accounts behind the counter, greeted him in person, and said, "I don't care, the birthday bag used for Bai Ye's birthday must be used from my Xinghualou!" I'm all set. ”

Bai Yutang smiled and nodded, "That's certain, it's the same as in previous years, you have to put osmanthus, don't put lard." ”

"Understood!" The shopkeeper smiled and led everyone upstairs.

At this time, the many guests who originally looked at Bai Yutang had already returned to their original clothes, so what should they do...... Of course, only on the surface.

Zhan Zhao observed it carefully and found that almost everyone was peeking at this side...... And as much as possible, the performance is quiet.

Zhan Zhao went upstairs with the little fourth son in his arms, and the two shadow guards had already discovered that something was wrong, and even Bao Yan and Pang Yu felt inexplicable hostility - in fact, this is a state of snooping and defense, who hates you or snoops on you, normal people will more or less feel a trace of something strange in the air - what's going on?

went upstairs and arrived at a private seat, and the shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced the signature snacks in the store to Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang.

The little fourth son is in charge and gives everyone a few.

It's been him ordering a lot lately...... The main reason is that the little fourth son is usually too unassertive, often in a state of indecision, and the adults have the final say on everything. Gongsun had a headache for this, and saw that Zhao Pu taught Xiao Liang so well, so he asked him to train the little fourth son and let him be more assertive. Zhao Pu came up with the trick of ordering food for the little fourth son.

Speaking of which, don't look at the little fourth son who usually plays with his own and is always in a daze, in fact, this baby is very observant and empathetic. He orders just as little as he wants, and he knows almost everyone's preferences. Even Zhao Pu's large group of shadow guards, although the fourth son will confuse the name, he knows who likes to eat and what he doesn't like...... In Ouyang's words, this is called - Attracting pain! If he doesn't hurt, who does he hurt?

When the snack came up, the guy closed the door and left, and Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Is it because you recruit people to look at it like this every time you go on patrol...... Or is it something special this time? I didn't see so many people looking at you when I opened it. ”

Pang Yu and Bao Yan also nodded.

Bai Yutang shook his head, "There has never been one before, and most of them are martial arts practitioners, don't you think?" ”

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Those Jianghu people seem to be mysterious and secretive...... Is there something they know about the Tao and we don't know? ”

Bai Yutang thought about it and frowned slightly, Zhanzhao's seemingly casual words really gave him a reminder.

After thinking about it, Bai Yutang walked to the window and looked down, and after looking for a while, he suddenly whistled......

Then, everyone saw Bai Yutang throw a piece of silver and went down, and said, "Ask Bao to inquire." ”

"Okay." The people below agreed.

Bai Yutang returned to the table.

Zhan Zhao knew that Lu Daobao was not a specific person, but a profession in the rivers and lakes, usually a beggar gang or a bastard...... They are basically the most well-informed people in the area.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a thin middle-aged man in his forties and fifties came in, "Yo! Fifth Master. ”

Bai Yutang beckoned to him.

The man ran in and rubbed his hands, "The fifth master hasn't seen him for a while." ”

Bai Yutang threw a silver ingot to him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hey, hey." Bao inquired and took the heavy silver into his arms, seemed to be quite satisfied, leaned closer, lowered his voice and told everyone, "Fifth master, something happened, but no one should dare to chew this tongue with you." ”

Zhan Zhao was curious, "What can't you say?" ”

"It's not that you can't say it, but if you say it, you may be cut by the fifth master." Bao inquired and laughed helplessly, "Besides, it's just a rumor, it just spread recently, some people believe it, some people don't believe it, and most people just wait and see." ”

"I talked about it for a long time." Bai Yutang frowned, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Bao inquired and thought about it, "Na, Fifth Master, you asked me to say it, I said that you can't be angry with me!" ”

"Less nonsense." Bai Yutang was impatient.

"That's the case, haven't the clouds around Tu Yun Peak dispersed recently? So there are also a lot of people in the vicinity, both decent and evil, and the key is that there are many underworld figures. The dry door is here......"

Bai Yutang nodded, he knew all this.

"In this group of Jianghu people, one thing spread." Bao inquired and hugged his arms, mysterious and mysterious.

And everybody was staring at him, and what did that mean- what did you mean?

"It is said that the boss and the second boss are killed by your mother."

Bao inquired about a word, and everyone was stunned.

Bai Yutang's eyebrows raised slightly.

Bao inquired and quickly hid aside, "If you say that you are not angry, I will be one to inquire about the news." ”

Bai Yutang was angry, and Zhan Zhao asked, "Why is it so spread?" ”

"There are no wounds on the second and third children, and the cause of death cannot be found." Bao inquired, "The one who can do this around here is Madame Bai...... You also know that her internal power can instantly freeze people's hearts, and wait until they thaw...... The man is dead, so there is no trace left. ”

Everyone frowned.

"Just because of this suspicion of Madame Bai?" Zhan Zhao felt that the reason was not very sufficient, "There are many kung fu on the rivers and lakes that can kill people without leaving a trace, and I can also move acupoints and change positions." ”

"Of course, there are other reasons, but this is ...... said," Bao inquired and hid behind Zhanzhao, "Zhan Ye, you have to keep me safe." ”

Zhan Zhao is puzzled - how bad is the rumor?

Bai Yutang frowned and urged, "Say it quickly." ”

"That's the case, these people in the rivers and lakes don't know how to do it, they all know about the curse of Qianmen and Bai Yueyun back then." Bao inquired and simply poured beans into a bamboo tube, "Recently, there is a legend that the young Tianzun was able to win the world and become the first, all because Bai Yueyun cast a spell on other sects. Bai Yueyun took away the luck of everyone in those sects and concentrated it on the Bai family and Tianzun, and shared their original bad luck with others, so that your Bai family and Tianzun have always been smooth sailing, including you now, you are also famous at a young age. So they all feel that it was your family who stole the good fortune of several Jianghu sects that were originally strong but later declined for no reason after the competition, and poisoned them. Bai Xia's blood can lift the poisonous curse, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, so Bai Xia gave the blood to the two brothers of Qianmen who came to the door. But if this curse is broken, it means that the good luck of the Bai family, Tianzun and you will come to an end...... Then how can Lu Xue'er tolerate it! So she secretly killed the two brothers of Qianmen, and secretly took back two bowls of blood. In this way, not only can you prevent the curse from being lifted, but you can also scare others, and whoever tries to change the curse will die! Thereupon...... Everyone has recently said that if there is no curse, Tianzun may not be the number one in the world...... Your family and master and apprentice are not the pride of the sky, but the liars who steal the good luck of others and curse others."

Bao inquired and didn't wait for him to finish, and with a "rub" sound, he rushed out of the door and hid at the door.

And everyone else gasped at the same time - Bai Yutang hated the rumors or the struggle of interests to hurt his family the most, and this time he actually served all his relatives in one pot, but fortunately, the other four masters of the Sky Island did not come to join in the fun.

Looking at Bai Yutang again, his face had sunk, and he opened his mouth and said two words, "Fart!" ”
