The birth of the foal brought a trace of vitality to the entire Kaifeng Mansion, and for a while, there was an endless stream of people visiting Kaifeng Mansion.

Pang Taishi came with his stomach in his hand, the eighth prince also came with the princess, Nangong Ji took advantage of the rest and came with Doro, and the generals in Zhao Pu's military camp also came to see, and finally even Zhao Zhen couldn't help it, and took Concubine Pang out of the palace quietly to Kaifeng Mansion, and when he saw the pony, he was so excited that he said that he wanted to give the title, and was later driven away by Lord Bao.

The foal is also unusually lively, as active and close as Duoduo, but like Baiyunfan, a little fussy. Also, something interesting happened. I don't know if it's because Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao's clothes are close to Bai Yunfan's coat color, or if there is some connection between the owner and the horse? The foal sometimes followed Bai Yunfan and was bouncing, and Bai Yutang walked by to the side, and it followed Bai Yutang. There was a lot of things to follow, and when I saw Zhanzhao, I ran away with Zhanzhao again. Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao have to carry the pony back like a fart several times a day.

Lin Yehuo was also red, but the pony didn't follow him, that day he didn't believe in evil, so he found a white cloak to put on, and shook it in front of the pony's eyes, and the pony tilted his head to look at him, but he didn't.

The two children, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi, get along better with the foal, often rubbing together, and Xiao Wu is about to become the straw mat of the foal, turning over the soft belly every day, rolling in front of the pony's eyes.

The pony was born about three days ago, and became more and more cute, probably because Duoduo was well fed and fed, and the foal's hair grew longer, fluffy, and looked fat, and it drilled around the stables all day long.

The black owls followed the foals with a group of large horses, one or two of them were in a hurry, and the stables were very lively every day.

Zhanzhao wants to live in the stable in addition to investigating the case these days, as long as he turns around and finds that the person is not there, he will go to the stable to find it, a small four sons of Zhanzhao, one big and one small, holding his chin and looking at the foal, looking happy.

The little fourth son is not clingy for a while, and he calls the foal brother and sister every day.

Probably because he saw everyone in Kaifeng at first sight after he was born, or inherited the cheerful personality of Zao Duoduo, the pony is very fond of everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, and each one is very sticky, and even the Taishi will go over to rub his stomach when he comes. But at the same time, probably because he inherited Bai Yunfan's awkward temperament, sometimes if you want to touch it, it will run to hide, and when you go away, it will run after you...... In short, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion scratched their hearts, and even Master Bao came to see it at least three or four times a day.

But now there's another problem, what should I name the foal?

This question is a headache for Zhan Zhao, of course...... What gave Zhanzhao even more headaches was the facts of the case.

Early that morning, Zhan Zhao got up early in the morning to say hello to the pony, and then returned to the courtyard, where everyone else was there.

Zhao Pu yawned, Zou Liang and Long Qiaoguang took the shadow guards, everyone was holding shovels and shovels and other digging things. The blue fox also came, carrying Zhanzhao's favorite roasted wheat, and Bai Yutang was also there, and he was playing with Xiao Wu behind him.

What are you going to do? The cellar of the gold diggers!

Master Bao gathered the descendants of the original Jin family that day and questioned them one by one.

They don't know much about the murder, because they are not close subordinates, most of them are some people who have helped a little or hired for a short time, and after asking, they found that most of them are false, they have really seen ghosts, or they know more about it, and none of them have it.

Master Bao severely reprimanded them, told them not to bewitch the public in the future, and let them go.

However, although no clues were asked about the internal relationship of the Jin family, other clues were asked.

The Jin family is dead, but the money of the Jin family should still be there.

Mr. Jin was a gold shop, and he was one of the richest families in Kaifeng City back then, and his family property can be said to be countless! However, after the death of the Jin family, most of the money was lost. It is said that under the old house of the Jin family, there is a vault, which is very sturdy and contains a large amount of gold.

Two days ago, after ordering a thorough investigation of the Jin family's old house, Lord Bao sent soldiers and horses to surround the old house, and then the officials entered the search.

The old house of the Jin family was burned down once, but the remaining rooms are well preserved.

The four guards searched carefully with hundreds of servants, and they hardly found much of value, nor did they find any account books, which is almost impossible for a person who makes a big deal.

In the end, the officials dug up several skeletons in the backyard of the Jin family.

This seems to echo the legend that the daughter-in-law of the Jin family eats people in the backyard, so the officials dug up the soil in the backyard, and according to the instructions of the grandson, all the bones were sifted out and put in one place.

But in the process of digging, there was an unexpected discovery.

After digging up almost the entire backyard, a layer of hard stone roof appeared underground. I don't know what kind of stone was poured, it was harder than iron, and the officials dug up several shovels without digging a single hole.

Eventually, the officials cleared out all the dirt, and a cellar roof the size of two yards appeared underground, which was extremely hard.

Therefore, everyone suspects that this underground mezzanine without entrance is the legendary cellar. The entrance to the cellar may have been under a certain authority, but the officials didn't find it anyway, so they ...... Instead of laboriously finding an entrance, it is better to dig directly into the stone wall.

Today, Zhanzhao and the others are going to dig up the stone wall, and how to smash the stone top that is harder than the black iron? Zhan Zhaozhi said that it was enough to bring Aunt Lan, so the blue fox also followed.

Tianzun and Yin Hou were also very curious to join in the fun, anyway, they were the most idle.

Gongsun took Xiao Liang and Xiao Sizi, as well as Bao Yan, Pang Yu, Chunhua and Wang Qi, to the autopsy, and heard that the number of bones dug up was extremely large, and there were more than ten bald skulls, so it was a big project to put together a complete corpse.

Everyone swept out of Kaifeng Mansion and went to the street, but found that there were many people on the street today, and they were all young people.

"So many people?" Zhan Zhao wondered.

"They are all freshmen from major academies." Pang Yu said, "The new school season will start tomorrow, and the major academies will start classes one after another, and Taixue will start classes the day after tomorrow." ”

"How many people has Taixue recruited this year?" Zhao Pu asked Bao Yan.

"Hmm...... There were more than 230 of them that day. ”

"So much?" Zhao Pu was surprised, "Didn't you recruit a hundred people every time in the past?" ”

"Well, has Taixue expanded this year, two new academies have been created, which can accommodate all the new students, and then there are more than thirty new recruits, and Lanhui Academy has expanded a lot, so it just so happens that Yiyi is among these girls." Bao Yan Road.

"More than 200 people are the best people in the autumn exam this year." Wang Qi said, "The masters have all reviewed the papers, and there are a lot of talents." ”

"Yes......" everyone nodded.

"By the way, there are a lot of Jiangnan students here this year." Chunhua Road.

"It's not uncommon for Jiangnan to produce talents." Zhao Pu said, "There are quite a lot of people from Jiangnan in any year." ”

"The little steamed bun is going to Kaifeng for the exam, otherwise it will also be the test in Jiangnan." Pang Yu said.

Bao Yan nodded.

Wang Qi leaned over and said, "Have you read the papers of the Jiangnan candidates?" It's different from what we tested. ”

Bao Yan shook his head, "I haven't seen it yet, after sending it, it's all for the scholars to see first, right?" My dad has seen it and said that the quality of this year's new students is very high. ”

"My grandfather watched it yesterday." Wang Qi said, "Do you know who won the first place in this year's Jiangnan Autumn Examination?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't interject either, listening to a few little scholars chattering about some things like studying exams, it was quite fresh.

"There are several talented people in Jiangnan!" Bao Yan has a better understanding of the situation over there, "It should be possible for the three major talents, right?" ”

Everyone was curious, "Three talents? ”

Xiao Sizi raised his face and asked, "Little steamed bun, are you one of the three great talents?" ”

Bao Yan shook his head, "The three talents are all from Hangzhou, known as the three uniques of poetry, calligraphy and painting, the poem is Xie Yan, the book is Lai Tianqing, and the painting is Yue Ziming." ”

"Lai Tianqing's calligraphy and Yue Ziming's paintings are indeed very famous." Tianzun nodded.

"Xie Yan's poetry collection Kaifeng is also sold." Chunhua pouted, "Zhao Lan's girl is holding other people's poetry collections all day long and is a nymphomaniac, and it is said that she looks good." ”

"Among these three, the most top-notch in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting should be Xie Yan, it is said that he is still a talent, the first handsome scholar in Jiangnan, is he the first place this year?" Bao Yan asked.

Wang Qi shook his head, "He's second!" ”

"Someone did better than him?" Bao Yan felt incredulous.

Wang Qi poked Bao Yan, "My father said that the first person in the Jiangnan Autumn Examination is the only paper in the country that can be equal to you." ”

Everyone raised their eyebrows, and Gongsun also gossiped, "Who is it?" ”

Wang Qi shook his fingers, "We all know each other." “

Everyone was stunned.

"Lin Xiao."

"Lin Xiao?" Pang Yu opened his mouth wide, "This guy is actually a genius?" I thought it was with me......"

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, Lin Xiao really didn't look like a scholar.

"Who is Lin Xiao?" Zhao Pu was curious.

Gongsun reminded him, "That young man that Lin Fuzi brought with him that day. ”

Zhao Pu thought for a moment and widened his eyes, "That kid isn't the bodyguard invited by Master Lin?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - this young man's martial arts are also very good, so he is both civil and military.

Bao Yan sighed, "Then he is much better than me, and his kung fu is still very good." ”

Pang Yu looked at Bao Yan speechlessly, "Little steamed bun, why don't you have any fighting spirit at all?" Is this a towel? Kill him! ”

Bao Yan squinted at Pang Yu, "you!" Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second! ”

"Lin Xiao ......" Yin Hou suddenly asked, "The surname is Lin?" Where are the people? ”

"I heard that he is from Hangzhou." Wang Qi said, "It really came out of nowhere!" It is said that the person who recommended him was Chen Ming, and my grandfather said that Chen Ming's bachelor had never been above the top, and he had only taken a fancy to Master Bao. ”

Pang Yu tilted his head and couldn't figure it out, "There is still this style of emotional scholar...... Looks like a bastard. ”

"Lin Xiao......" Tianzun thought about it, where had he heard this name.

"Lin Xiao ......" Yin Hou also frowned slightly, the same surname is Lin, inexplicably, he thought of a person, is it a coincidence?

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Yin Hou and Tianzun's posture, and they were puzzled, "You two know him?" ”

Tianzun scratched his head, and everyone nodded when they saw his move—probably they couldn't remember it.

Bai Yutang reminded, "The painting you bought a few days ago has a signature on it. ”

"Oh!" Tianzun clapped his hands, "That's right! ”

Bai Yutang also nodded, "If that painting is really painted by Lin Xiao, he will throw away Tianqing and Yue Ziming a few streets just for calligraphy and painting." ”

"So powerful?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

Bai Yutang is an expert and nodded, "It will become a great tool in the future, no wonder you can exchange it for such valuable wine by making an umbrella casually." My master bought so many paintings, and this one is the most cost-effective. ”

As soon as the fifth master finished speaking, Tianzun came over and pinched his neck, "Stinky boy!" ”

Look at Yin Hou again.

Yin Hou asked, "What does he look like?" With Lin Fuzi? I saw a back that day. “

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Did you see Lin Fuzi that day?" ”

"Hmm." Yin Hou nodded, "Someone followed them, so I took a second look...... But then he was pulled away by the old ghost. ”

"Someone stalking?" Bai Yutang frowned, "What person?" ”

"As for the person from the academy next door to your house, I've seen that robe." Yin Hou answered.

Bao Yan and the others' eyes narrowed, "The people of Qiankun Academy actually followed Master Lin?!" ”

"The villain has to be guarded!" Pang Yu also felt bad, "By the way, the matter of the exchange between the four academies has been spread to everyone, do you know?" ”

"Isn't it undecided?" Zhanzhao frowned.

"Someone deliberately spread it, and it seems that Taixue should not fight." Chunhua was dissatisfied.

"Young man, what a life." Tianzun obviously wanted to see the excitement too, and gossiped and asked everyone when the competition would start.

Zhanzhao still cares a little bit.

Seeing Zhan Zhao frowning, Bai Yutang asked, "Are you worried that someone will be unfavorable to Master Lin?" ”

Zhanzhao hugged his arms, "It's better to guard against it." ”

"Don't worry." Zou Liang said, "Ouyang has sent a lot of people near Taixue, and Lin Fuzi's house has also arranged people. ”

"And with Lin Xiao's kung fu, ordinary people can't hurt Master Lin." Lin Yehuo said, "Don't worry. ”

"Lin Xiao shouldn't have any problems." Gongsun asked Zhanzhao, "Didn't you send someone to investigate?" ”

"Hmm." Zhan Zhao nodded, "Lin Xiao was indeed recommended by Master Chen Ming, and Master Bao also knew about it, and Master Chen also asked the person who went to investigate to bring a letter to Master Bao." ”

"That kid won't hurt the old man." Yin Hou said.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Haven't you seen him before, just looking at his back?" ”

Yin Hou smiled, "Didn't you listen to what kid Zhao Pu said, at a glance, I thought it was Old Man Lin's bodyguard." ”

Everyone thought about it, this is also true, Lin Xiao really takes care of the elderly Master Lin's feelings.

While speaking, everyone had reached the foot of the western mountain.

Zhan Zhao pointed to a very domineering manor on the other side of the mountain and asked, "Is that General Ge's mansion over there?" ”

Zou Liang nodded, "Ge Qing is his grandfather's house." ”

"The two of them are very close." Bai Yutang looked at it, "Will you know?" ”

"This is also possible, you can stop by to inquire later, I haven't visited the old man for a while." Zhao Pudao.

The people went up the mountain.

Today it was Cao Lan's turn to be on duty again, and Long Qiaoguang joked with him, "Did you hit a ghost today?" ”

The corners of Cao Lan's mouth twitched, "No...... There are hundreds of young men here, and the yang energy is so heavy, ordinary ghosts probably don't dare to come out. ”

Entered the garden of the old house.

There was no dirt left in the garden, so I dug it up cleanly, and a hill of dirt was piled up on the hillside outside the wall. The garden was sunk in a large section, and the bottom was a flat stone roof, as the officials said. The stone is black with a hint of luster, and it looks very hard.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a large cart of bones.

Everyone frowned.

Pang Yu looked at the sturdy stone top and asked, "How is this going to be dug up?" ”

Zhan Zhao looked back at the blue fox.

Yin Hou beckoned to the blue fox who was watching the "ghost house" with his skirt on the side, "Girl, come here." ”

The blue fox ran over, glanced at the garden, and pointed, "That's it?" ”

Yin Hou nodded.

The blue fox reached out and pulled out a pair of shoes from the pocket hanging from his waist.

Everyone looked curiously at the pair of shoes in the blue fox's hand...... It looks like it's iron, black, and it's a cut-out pattern, and it's beautiful, but it should be hard.

The blue fox put on his shoes and motioned for everyone to stand back.

Everyone was a little puzzled, what was this for?

The blue fox lifted his skirt and jumped to the top of the garden, and everyone heard the sound of metal striking, a little harsh, and sparks rising from the ground.

The iron shoes on Aunt Lan's feet were painted a few times on the stone wall, and the sound came from it was like an iron scraping porcelain, sharp and abnormal, and the little fourth son hurriedly covered his ears.

Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "What kind of texture are the shoes?" ”

"Ugin's." Zhan Zhao said, "The thousand-year-old artifact is the same material as Juque. ”

While everyone gasped, they saw the blue fox lift his breath, raise his foot and step on the ground domineeringly, and then the ground shook completely, and everyone heard the sound of "kalalala".

As soon as Aunt Lan raised her foot, a crack appeared in the ground in an instant, extending forward.

The blue fox jumped to the other end and stepped on it...... A huge cross crack appeared in the ground in an instant.

Aunt Lan took off her boots and came up, and pointed to the shadow guards who were stunned with shovels, that means - dig it!

Everyone remained stunned, Bai Yutang turned his face and asked Zhanzhao, "You learned the trick of stepping on people's faces from her, right?" ”

Zhan Zhao smiled and looked at Bai Yutang, what does that mean-how can I step on people's faces, the cat master is a Sven person!

Bai Yutang was speechless when he heard an exclamation from the crowd.

"Wow!" The shadow guards dug a large piece of the crack and then retreated, and the ground collapsed entirely, and everyone looked inside, and the golden light was dazzling.

The little marquis squatted aside and looked at it, stretched out his hand and pointed, "Rich and rival the country!" ”
