In the afternoon of the same day, the news that Zhanzhao and others were ordered to go to Taixue to study spread.

In fact, about the ghost-faced people and the Yin-Yang Palace, only the people of Kaifeng Mansion and Taixue know the Tao. Taixue's master ordered all students not to go out and talk nonsense, so in today's Kaifeng Mansion, the matter of the ghost-faced man has not yet spread.

So, the people of Kaifeng Mansion were curious, why did Zhao Zhen order Zhanzhao to let them study? It's so much fun!

In the afternoon, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took the lead in arriving at the academy, of course, not to get the four treasures of the study or to receive the student robes, but to check the case of Liang Youdao's suicide.

Liang Youdao's body has been taken down by the teachers and students who rushed in to rescue him, and a white silk silk hangs over the beam.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Liang Youdao, who was lying on the door panel, with a white cloth covering his body, and couldn't help frowning—a master of Si Swenwen.

Gongsun inspected the silk silk and the stool that had fallen aside from the beam of the house, and then checked Liang Youdao's body, and then stood up and shook his head, "There is no trace of his killing." ”

"So, it's really a suicide?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Gongsun nodded, "That's right. ”

As a classmate of Lord Bao and the Eighth Prince, Master Liang is not young.

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and watched, a little puzzled - at this age, he should have seen everything through and seen it, why can't he think about it so much and want to commit suicide?

Bai Yutang found a piece of white paper pressed with a paperweight next to the desk, and beckoned to Zhan Zhao, "Cat." ”

Zhan Zhao walked over to the desk and looked down.

I saw that nothing was written on the white paper, but there was polished ink in the inkstone, although it had dried, and the brush was set on the side of the inkstone, as if it was ready to write. What Zhan Zhao was even more concerned about was that next to the empty white paper, there was an envelope that had been written, and it was written on it - Xiren personally opened.

Zhan Zhao picked up the envelope and frowned slightly, looking at the situation on the desk, it seemed that Liang Youdao was about to write a letter to Master Bao, the envelope was written, the ink was polished, and the pen was moistened, but he suddenly put it down, and then climbed onto the stool and committed suicide by hanging the beam, and died with a whimper.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, so strange and weird.

"Gongsun." Zhan Zhao saw that Gongsun on the side also tilted his head and seemed to be puzzled, so he asked, "Did Liang Youdao really commit suicide?" ”

Gongsun didn't jump up this time and say that anyone questioned his medical skills, because he himself felt that something was wrong at this moment, so he climbed on the stool, looked at it carefully, turned the body over and examined it for a long time, frowned and raised his head, "It's really a suicide, and you look at his fingers." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked over and squatted down to look, and saw that Liang Youdao's right hand fingers had some dried ink.

Bai Yutang took the brush that had also dried out and showed it to Zhan Zhao and Gongsun, and saw that there was a long ink blot on the barrel, which disappeared when it reached the middle of the barrel, as if it was blocked by his fingers.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "Liang Youdao seemed to hesitate for a while while holding the pen, so the ink flowed down the barrel of the pen and got on his fingers. ”

So, the reasonable explanation is. Gongsun Dao, "Liang Youdao originally wanted to write a letter to Master Bao, and then commit suicide, but after the envelope was written, he hesitated, and finally didn't write the letter, but committed suicide by hanging Liang?" ”

"Or ......" Bai Yutang looked at the desktop, "The letter that was originally written was taken away, leaving a blank piece of paper and an envelope?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Gongsun both frowned - it's not impossible!

With full of doubts, everyone brought Liang Youdao's body back to Kaifeng Mansion, and Gongsun examined him and the little ruffian Adong who died yesterday.

Zhan Zhao went to Mr. Bao's study and explained the matter in general, and Mr. Bao was in a daze with the envelope.

When Zhanzhao returned to the door of the room, Gongsun was standing outside the room, tilting his head, holding a green vegetable leaf with tweezers in his hand and squinting his eyes, asking the lady who stir-fried in the kitchen.

The eldest lady said, "This is not a leek or a green onion, this is a garlic leaf!" ”

"Garlic leaf ......" Gongsun frowned, "No wonder there is a smell." ”

Zhan Zhao walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Gongsun?" ”

"Oh." Gongsun said, "Ah Dong has something strange in his stomach. ”

"What?" Zhan Zhao is curious,

"Garlic leaves and squid." Gongsun Dao.

Zhan Zhao blinked, "Garlic leaves and squid?" What dish? Is garlic leaf fried squid? ”

"Is there such a dish?" Gongsun asked.

"Hmm...... I guess there are also heavy mouths, it will feel very fishy, it depends on which chef does it. Zhan Zhao said, leaned over and sniffed, and then rubbed his nose, thoughtful.

"What's wrong?" Gongsun was curious.

"I can't tell you about it, it smells so familiar, I like I've smelled it there." Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "It's a clue anyway." ”

Gongsun then went back to the autopsy, and Zhanzhao turned around twice, and wanted to find Bai Yutang to find out where Ah Dong had been before he died, but after a few turns, he found that Bai Yutang was gone.

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao wondered, found the outside of the courtyard from the courtyard, and bumped into Chen Xing'er and Crescent Moon who were humming a little song to wash clothes.

Zhan Zhao asked, Yueya'er was helpless, and said that the guy from Taibaiju just now ran to say that Tianzun seemed to be in trouble, and the young master probably ran to prepare to lose money.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "What trouble did Tianzun have?" ”

Yue'er spread her hands, "I don't know what to do with this." Seeing that Zhan Zhao was a little worried, Chen Xing'er waved his hand, "Lord Zhan, this matter is common, if there is no problem, the young master will solve it." ”

After speaking, the two girls were busy again, Zhanzhao thought about it, but he still went out and walked all the way in the direction of Taibaiju.

After taking a few steps, Zhan Zhao suddenly turned around, as if someone was staring at him, but after feeling it again, the snooping gaze seemed to disappear. Zhanzhao frowned and continued to walk forward...... Is someone staring at themselves? Or is someone staring at Kaifeng Mansion?

……

Speaking of which, what trouble did Tianzun get into?

Just now, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao just returned to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao went to Bao Daren's study, Bai Yutang sat down to drink saliva, and a little guy who was very familiar with Taibaiju ran to Bai Yutang, saying that they saw Tianzun being stopped by many people at the door of a tea shop near Taibaiju.

Bai Yutang hurriedly ran out of the city...... If it is better to say that it is the ruffians and hooligans who stop Tianzun, it is a big deal that Tianzun beats them, but if it is some people who don't know kung fu at all, it will be troublesome, and Tianzun doesn't know how to deal with it.

Sure enough, Bai Yutang ran to the door of Taibai Ju, and saw a lot of people around, Tianzun sat alone on the roof and sulked with his knees, and many people below were pointing and pointing, and a few were still scolding.

Bai Yutang frowned, jumped on the roof, and glanced at the scolding crowd with warning...... Probably because this look was too intimidating, several young people who spoke disrespectfully shut up.

Most people in Kaifeng Mansion know Bai Yutang, of course, Tianzun is relatively low-key, and everyone is often not in Kaifeng, so most people still don't know him.

Seeing Bai Yutang coming, many onlookers whispered - that means, why did Bai Wuye come.

Bai Yutang walked up to Tianzun and squatted down to look at him.

I saw Tianzun hugging his knees and looking unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yutang asked.

Tianzun glanced down.

Bai Yutang walked to the eaves.

I saw that the roof where Tianzun was located was indeed the roof of a tea shop, and the people below should be some tea drinkers, as well as the guys of the tea shop. And the conflict with Tianzun seems to be a group of people, like a passing merchant Jia Answer, the first one is quite Sven, like a Confucian businessman, but his subordinates are more unkind, among them there are a few fierce gods with swords.

The guy at the tea shop hurriedly stopped a few businessmen who were still dissatisfied, and asked Bai Yutang with a smile, "Oh, fifth master, isn't it a familiar friend with the son of the foreign clan?" ”

Bai Yutang was stunned, only to understand that they were the sons of foreign clans, probably because of his young age and white hair.

"He's my master." Bai Yutang said coldly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other, everyone in the world knows some martial arts, or who doesn't know martial arts but has heard about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, who doesn't know that the master of Baiyutang is the first Tianzun in the world, but the old man should be more than a hundred years old, right, why is he so young......

Bai Yutang saw the group of people below open their mouths wide and frowned, "Who will explain it to me?" ”

"Well, that's what happened." A guy from a tea shop said, "That's the ...... Well, your master passed by the tea shop and robbed these guests of their things. ”

A few businessmen blushed and were quite dissatisfied, but at this time, there were already a few good things to explain to them, the white-clothed man above has a great background, it is Bai Yutang, and the white-haired person who is in his feelings is the famous Tianzun.

A few of them were also puzzled - this is the Tianzun who is the number one martial artist in the world? How does it look like a gas bag? I thought it was a stupid boy.

Bai Yutang listened to it in a fog, Tianzun robbed other people's things?

He looked back at Tianzun and saw that he was still sitting there.

Bai Yutang was a little puzzled and asked a few businessmen, "What did he rob you?" ”

One of the merchants looked very gentle, seemed to be the big shopkeeper, and arched his hand to Bai Yutang, "Bai Wuye, I have admired the name for a long time, we are tea merchants from Hangzhou, and we went to Kaifeng to do tea business. The ...... The senior had walked past us, but suddenly turned back and reached out to take away the baggage we had placed on the table. In that burden was the money we earned from selling tea, and we asked him for it, but he still didn't give it, so he ran to the roof and hid. ”

The guy at the tea shop was also helpless, "We thought we were robbing the silver, and we were about to report to the official!" ”

After listening to this, Bai Yutang probably understood, so he walked to Tianzun and sat down to look at him, and asked, "Master?" ”

Tianzun took out a burden from behind him and handed it to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang took the burden and opened it to take a look, and saw that there were white flowers and silver tickets inside.

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun puzzled, Bai Yutang's natural way Tianzun would not rob people of money for no reason, there should be a reason?

Tianzun pointed to his nose and narrowed his eyes, "The same taste!" ”

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What taste?" He also knew that Dao Tianzun was the same as Zhanzhao, and his nose was very smart.

Tianzun pointed to the silver and said, "That ghost-faced man smelled like this last night. ”

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, picked up the baggage and smelled it, there seemed to be a very special fishy smell.

He was wondering, next to him, a head leaned over, sniffed his nose close to the silver, and then touched his nose and raised his head, "Hmm...... It's a bit like, I thought it smelled like last night, a fishy smell of garlic leaves and squid. ”

"Hmm!" Tianzun nodded.

Bai Yutang looked at the other side a little speechlessly, and Zhan Zhao, who didn't know when Lu Dao came over, was pondering the taste, and sure enough, ...... The nose is as spiritual as the Heavenly Venerable.

"Pang Yu boy also has it." Tianzun muttered, "And then the little ruffian you brought in just now also has it." ”

Bai Yutang understood that in the past, Tianzun would at least run away if he was in trouble, and then let himself deal with it, but this time he squatted on the roof and was scolded and couldn't fight back if he didn't run, probably because he was afraid that he would run away and those merchants would not be able to find clues.

Bai Yutang was a little angry, on the one hand, he felt sorry for Tianzun being scolded in vain, this is a person who is more than a hundred years old, and he was scolded by a few stinky boys. But it was another misunderstanding, and the people didn't mean it, so they held their breath and glared at Tianzun, which means - there is no place to spread when there is anger!

Tianzun thought Bai Yutang's expression was quite interesting, he wasn't very angry in the first place, and it was a good thing to be able to help.

Zhan Zhao reached out and took the bag of silver and jumped off the roof.

Several businessmen wanted to reach out to take it, but Zhanzhao hid the burden behind his back and asked, "Where did you get this silver?" ”

A few businessmen were angry, "I said, why are your officials in Kaifeng like this?" We are serious businessmen! ”

Zhanzhao waved his hand and asked, "Let's not talk about this yet, have you eaten garlic leaves and fried squid?" ”

Several merchants were stunned, then looked at each other and nodded.

Zhan Zhao sniffed the bag of silver again and asked, "Who did you sell the tea to?" There was also a fishy smell on the silver. ”

"I sold several, and there was still a little left after the last, and they were all sold to the inn where we settled, and the inn didn't know where to get a lot of squid a few days ago, and found a big pot to fry with garlic leaves, we ate it for several days, and it did have a taste."

Zhan Zhao smiled and asked him, "Where is that inn?" ”

"That's far away, near the docks west of the city." The merchant replied with a finger.

"Where are you going next?" Zhan Zhao looked at the baggage they were carrying, and then asked.

Shang Jia felt that Zhanzhao was the same as interrogating a prisoner, so he said, "We are going out of the south gate to go back to Hangzhou Mansion!" I said, "We're the ones who got the money......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao took out a bamboo tube from his waist, took out an extremely thin silver needle from it, and pricked a needle in a businessman.

"Oops!" The merchant jumped up in pain, and just wanted to shout, Zhan Zhao put the silver needle that had turned black in front of his eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The merchant touched the middle of the man and opened his mouth wide, "This ......"

"Don't thank Tianzun for saving your life?!" Zhanzhao raised his eyebrows, "What did you scold him?" Beware of thunder and thunder! ”

Several businessmen looked at each other, could it be poisoned?

"Uh......" A few merchants were still not very clear about the situation, but they looked up at Tianzun who was sitting on the roof squinting, and then looked at the silver needle in Zhanzhao's hand in front of him, and there was a clever clapping of his hands, "Ah! Could it be that the garlic leaf squid we ate is poisonous? ”

Zhan Zhao looked at the sky, and said in his heart, who poisoned you, if Tianzun hadn't stopped it in time, you would probably have to die halfway through!

While talking, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu came with some officials, and Zhanzhao asked several businessmen to take them to Kaifeng Mansion to ask Gongsun to detoxify, and on the other hand, carefully interrogated his whereabouts.

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and asked him, "Have you lost your anger?" I'll beat them up for you. ”

Tianzun twisted his face, "Forget it, don't worry about children." With that, he got off the roof, threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Bai Yutang came down from the roof and frowned.

"Forget it, a misunderstanding." Zhan Zhao dragged Bai Yutang, "Wait a while to return to Kaifeng Mansion, and let those few people who scolded Tianzun kneel on the ground and kowtow to him a hundred times to make amends." ”

Bai Yutang was silent for a long time, "Not one less!" ”

Zhan Zhao smiled, Tianzun is really kind-hearted, although he is not very reliable, and sure enough, the head of the white path is not good at kung fu alone, but the most important thing is that he has a good heart.

"Where are you going?" Zhan Zhaozheng sighed, and when he saw that Bai Yutang was leaving, he grabbed his arm.

Bai Yutang was embarrassed, "Ahem...... My master seems to be in a bad mood, so I'll go and accompany him......"

Zhan Zhao squinted at him, "Are you afraid of the smell of garlic and squid on your body?" ”

Bai Yutang was told the central thing by Zhan Zhao in one sentence, with a look on his face - he didn't want to go! It stinks so bad!

Zhanzhao dragged him to the dock in the west of the city, "Let's go!" ”

"Go yourself, I'll wait for you here." Bai Yutang said in his heart that you are a cat, even if you rub your body fishy, why do you want to go yourself?

The two were confronting each other on the street, when they heard a voice coming, "Oh, you two should be careful, you two are pulling and pulling on the street." ”

As soon as the two turned around, they saw Pang Yu and Zhao Pu just passing by, they should have just entered the palace to find Zhao Zhen to "negotiate......

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't take care of the squid anymore, and asked together, "How is it?" ”

Pang Yu and Zhao Pu spread their hands and sighed, "The negotiation failed." ”

"Do you really want to go to Taixue for a month?" Bai Yutang asked, "Is it okay not to go?" ”

"It's not good to openly resist the decree." Zhan Zhao didn't have a way, and grabbed Pang Yu, who was about to go back to Kaifeng Mansion, "Have you eaten garlic leaves and fried squid in the past few days?" ”

"Wow!" Pang Yu was taken aback, "What kind of dish is this, I will take a heavy bite when I listen to it." ”

Zhan Zhao leaned over and sniffed it, Pang Yu was puzzled, and also raised his hand to smell his sleeve.

A smell of smoke said. Zhan Zhao looked at Pang Yu with disgust.

Pang Yu blinked and hurriedly defended, "Don't wronged me, I haven't been to Fireworks Willow Lane for a long time, and this smell came from Xiangxiang in Concubine Pang's house just now." ”

"Did you go to the west of the city yesterday?" Bai Yutang asked.

"I'm going." Pang Yu nodded, "Didn't you find a mask for Zhao Lan......"

Saying that, Pang Yu seemed to remember something and touched his nose, "Speaking of which, when I passed by the dock yesterday, I bought a mask and rested at a tea shop to drink a cup of tea, and I smelled a fishy smell." ”

Zhan Zhao stared at Pang Yu for a while, then took out a silver needle and pricked it at Pang Yu's midriff, J □ looked at it...... Sure enough, the silver needle also turned black!

"Wow!" The little marquis jumped three feet high, "Isn't it?!" ”

Everyone also wondered - why did Pang Yu get poisoned too?

"Damn!" Pang Yu covered the people and rushed straight to Kaifeng Mansion to find Gongsun for help.

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao with some curiosity, "How many silver needles did Gongsun give you?" ”

Zhan Zhao took out the bamboo tube and shook it, "One hundred, see who pierces whom!" ”

The three of them decided to find out the source of the poisoning first, and then go to find it, so as not to startle the snake, so they went back to Kaifeng together, and at this time, the scene in the courtyard was a little weird.

Pang Yu was sitting at the stone table, Gongsun was giving him a needle to detoxify, and those businessmen were all kowtowing under the eaves to admit their mistakes, and on the roof, Tianzun scolded them with a disgusted face, "I hate it!" Don't keep praying! ”

Zhan Zhao curiously asked the little four who were helping them count, "What do you mean?" ”

Xiao Sizi said, "They are poisoned, and if they don't detoxify within an hour, they will die!" ”

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "So serious? That's really a life and a dead life. ”

Xiao Sizi nodded, "Originally, Daddy was going to detoxify them, but Huhu just said that they scolded Tianzun on the street, and then Daddy asked them to kowtow to Tianzun a hundred times to admit their mistakes and then detoxify them." ”

Zhan Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, Bai Yutang nodded on the side, that means - this is about the same.

Gongsun detoxified Pang Yu, and he was also a little puzzled, "The fried squid with garlic leaves in Ah Dong's stomach is not poisonous, and he is not poisoned." ”

"And Pang Yu didn't eat that dish at all." Zhanzhao wondered, "Then where are they poisoned?" ”

After the last, Tianzun was blown up by a few merchants, and Gongsun didn't toss them anymore and gave them detoxification.

The merchants recalled it together, and found that the only intersection with Pang Yu was that they had all drunk herbal tea from the tea shop opposite the inn, and they were all after noon.

Everyone wondered if the herbal tea was poisonous or selectively poisoned? If they are all poisonous, how many people should be poisoned? Isn't it going to be messy?

Just pondering, Bao Da and the Eighth Prince came in, and the two had just stepped into the courtyard gate, when the businessman who had just drunk the antidote and looked the most gentle suddenly stood up, "Xiren?!" ”

Everyone was stunned.

Master Bao was also stunned, and the eighth prince also came over to take a look.

"The prince is also here!" The merchant ran over.

Doro stretched out his hand to block it, preventing him from getting close to the Eight Kings, but the Eight Kings and Master Bao shouted in unison, "Ziyan! ”

Everyone looked at each other.

The businessman who was called "Ziyan" was excited, "If it weren't for my poison this time, I really wouldn't have seen you two!" ”

"You're poisoned?" Lord Bao and the Eighth Prince frowned at the same time.

"Thanks to the life-saving grace of the old man Tianzun." Ziyan said with a smile.

Zhan Zhao asked Bao Zheng, "My lord, this is ......?"

The expression on Master Bao's face at this time was also a little complicated, as if he didn't know whether Lu Dao was happy or worried, "Xu Ziyan, my classmate back then, his ancestor was a tea merchant in Hangzhou Mansion, and after he finished studying too much, he went home to inherit his father's business......"

Everyone subconsciously frowned - another one who is too learned?! It's still a classmate of Lord Bao back then, and he was almost poisoned to death!

Master Bao didn't care about reminiscing, so the celebrity took a pen and paper, wrote down more than 20 names, and handed them to Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao took it.

"Back then, there were a total of twenty-eight students studying in a study, and this is the rest." Bao Dadao, "I have circled out in Kaifeng, and the others are in the field for the time being, let's check first, whether they are okay in Kaifeng Mansion!" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, took the paper and went out, and Bai Yutang followed him.

It was such a coincidence that a servant outside was rushing in, "Lord Zhan! Wang Yueming, the owner of Yuelai Inn, died. ”

Zhan Zhao frowned, opened the list that Master Bao had just written, and looked at it-Wang Yueming's name was impressively listed
