The flower platform was burned, and everyone felt panicked in their chests. m. Mobile network

Ge Qing took the servants and maids in the house to silently clean up the yard, and Zhao Pu asked Ouyang to take people to check around, but the person who set the fire was very cunning and had obviously run away.

Long Qiaoguang jumped off the roof and whispered a few words to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu frowned slightly, thought about it, and nodded.

Long Qiaoguang went out.

Subsequently, Zhao Pu said to Zhanzhao, "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and I can't attack if I don't take the initiative." ”

Zhan Zhao also nodded, "Do you have any good mentions?" ”

"It's a chatter, I think it's feasible." Zhao Pudao.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "As long as you think it's feasible." ”

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows slightly, Zhanzhao's expression is rare, will there be fewer words after getting angry......

Bai Yutang saw that everyone was busy, so he gently tugged Zhanzhao and said, "I thought of something before I came, and I was interrupted by those sneak attacks. ”

Zhan Zhao looked at him, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Yutang pointed to the back hill of the Jin family's old mansion not far away, "That Jin Tuo, the amount of gold should be wrong!" ”

Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Bai Yutang said, "There is no shelf connected between the two snake heads of that golden statue, so the two snake heads next to it cannot be pure gold!" ”

Zhan Zhao was slightly puzzled, "It's not pure gold?" ”

"Gold is soft and heavy." Bai Yutang said, "According to the ratio of that snake head to body, it is not impossible to create an identical one, but if it is all pure gold, there must be something implicated between the three snake heads, otherwise it will crack to both sides, or it will not be able to hang the two pure gold snake heads on both sides at all!" But this golden statue is standing there intact, indicating that there must be something wrong with the two snake heads on both sides! I want to take it apart and take it apart and weigh it! ”

Zhan Zhao frowned and thought for a while, "Do you think there is a problem with the amount of gold?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "Hmm." ”

Zhanzhao found craftsmen, and transferred hundreds of officials from Kaifeng Mansion to pull down the three-headed golden statue overnight and disassemble it.

Sure enough, after dismantling it, everyone found that the left and right heads of the three-headed golden tuo were hollow, and the gold was becoming more and more impure from the outside in, and it was filled with many other things, but when making zuò, they were very careful, if Bai Yutang hadn't seen the problem, ordinary people really couldn't find it.

After weighing this golden statue as a whole, the total weight is 200,000 taels. And the fake Golden Buddha found from the underground of the Jin family weighed it, and it was basically at this weight. However, after taking out all the impurities in the golden tuo, the remaining pure gold was weighed, and the total was only about 70,000 taels, which was more than half.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "It's more than 100,000 taels less." ”

Bai Yutang nodded.

"Strange." Zhan Zhao walked heavily in the courtyard with his arms crossed, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, Zhan Zhao suddenly said to Ouyang Shaozheng, "Can you help me demolish a house?" ”

Ouyang was slightly stunned, "Demolishing the house? This life has to find Tianzun. ”

Zhan Zhao waved his hand, "Take Ochre Ying and the Diggers to Xie Yiting's house together, dig three feet into the ground to find out, if there is any gold!" ”

Ouyang nodded, motioned to wrap it on him, and left with ochre.

Zhan Zhao gently tugged Bai Yutang and asked him, "Yutang, did you recite those burned Taixue lists before?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded.

"What are the names of the students who were expelled for stealing test papers with Xie Yiting back then?"

Bai Yutang told Zhanzhao several names.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "I haven't heard of it...... Are you still in Kaifeng Mansion? ”

Bai Yutang said, "Bao Yan has asked someone to investigate before, but there are no clues, after all, it is not a good reputation, probably a name change." ”

"Master Lin should know, right?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bai Yutang nodded, "I guess I know." ”

"Go back to Kaifeng Mansion and ask." Zhan Zhao said, and went back to Kaifeng with Bai Yutang.

For the safety of Master Lin, Master and Lin Xiao have been living in Kaifeng Mansion for the past few days, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came to knock on the door overnight.

In fact, there was no need to knock, Lin Xiao was also awake, the old man was sitting alone in the courtyard drinking stuffy wine, but Lin Xiao was already asleep in the room.

When Lin Fuzi saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang coming, he hurriedly asked, "Is that flower platform really burned out?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded helplessly.

Lin Fuzi sighed, "Back then, a sea of fire burned down the entire city, and it also remained, but I didn't expect that now it is peaceful and prosperous, but it will suffer this catastrophe." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat down at the table.

Lin Fuzi was a little worried, "Ge Yuan, is he okay?" ”

Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly, and signaled - there is nothing to do, but it is sad, Grandma Ge doesn't know if she is still crying.

Lin Xiao felt angry, "It must be the enemy of the year!" Otherwise, I won't pick the painful place to start, it's really hateful, I don't dare to ask the young master what kind of mood he is in at this moment. ”

"Does the Master have anyone who thinks he is suspicious?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Lin Fuzi shook his head, "I don't sleep, I sit here and think about it now, and I haven't thought of anyone who hates the young master so much...... Everybody loved him. ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, his little trouble uncle was indeed quite likable, so he asked for clues about a few classmates who were expelled with Xie Yiting back then.

Lin Fuzi thought about it, went into the house and took out a pen and paper, wrote a few names for Zhanzhao, and said, "This is my real name, in addition to Xie Yiting, there are four other people, all of whom have changed their names, and the whereabouts of three of them are not clear to the old man, but there is one." As he spoke, Lin Fuzi drew a name with a pen, "His current name is Liu Zheng." ”

"Liu Zheng......" Zhanzhao was stunned, "Familiar, ......"

"Warden." Lin Fuzi said slowly, "The head of the prison, Liu Zheng." ”

"Ahh Zhan Zhao remembered, "Liu Zheng himself is also an imperial prince, right?" ”

Master Lin nodded, "He is the brother-in-law of the concubine Mei who died of illness before, and the son of General Liu." The Liu family is also a big family with a head and a face, and it is easy to cultivate a person who can go to school, but he didn't expect to be expelled for stealing test papers...... Back then, General Liu came to talk to me, and wanted to be accommodating to let Liu Zheng stay in Taixue, but I rejected him, which was very unpleasant. ”

Zhan Zhao frowned, and Bai Yutang also thought that Qiu Jian, who had escaped from prison before in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, was originally going to be sent to the heavenly prison for detention, but he was robbed by Zhan Zhao in the middle of the way.

"Liu Zheng's past, basically no one knows." Lin Fuzi said, "As for where the rest of the people went after changing their names and surnames, the old man really doesn't know." To tell the truth, the old man sent someone to inquire, but the three of them seemed to have disappeared, they did not return to their hometown, and they lost contact with their original friends, which is very strange."

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Don't pass by Lin Fuzi, Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "The head of the heavenly prison?" Doesn't he belong to Dali Temple or to the Criminal Department? ”

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "The prison of the previous dynasty was divided into a heavenly prison and a dungeon, the heavenly prison was dedicated to the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the dungeon was for the common people. Therefore, the wardens and cell chiefs of the heavenly prison are all officials appointed by the royal family, and they are basically royal relatives. This system of official positions has continued to this day and has not been changed, but the heavenly prison and the underground dungeon in our dynasty are also called upper prison and lower prison, and they are not divided according to the identity of the prisoner, but according to the location of the cell. The underground is called the dungeon, and the above-ground is called the heavenly dungeon. In general, the dungeons are not as well guarded and guarded, and they are not held by the most vicious criminals. The prison is heavily guarded, and the prisoners inside are all felons who have been escorted into Beijing from all over the country, and their martial arts are also good, and they wear shackles and torture instruments almost all year round. ”

Bai Yutang thought for a moment and asked, "Is the specific location of the Heavenly Prison in the area of the North City Gate?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhan Zhao nodded, "The prison is divided into three circles, the outer middle and the inner perimeter, there are heavy troops, it is not far from the imperial city military camp, it is surrounded by city walls, some of them are like independent fortresses, I have been in it a few times, I have heard Liu Zheng's name, and I have never dealt with it." ”

"Is the cell boss a big official?" Bai Yutang was curious, "Different from ordinary cell bosses?" ”

While talking, the two had already arrived in the front yard, and at this time Zhao Pu also came back, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he asked, "Cell boss?" ”

Zhan Zhao told Zhao Pu that Liu Zheng was one of the students who was expelled with Xie Yiting that year.

"Liu Zheng, ah......" Zhao Pu touched his chin.

"There is a big difference between the head of the prison and the ordinary jailer." Ouyang also walked in, "There are 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the prison, as well as more than 1,000 prison officers and various miscellaneous servants, plus thousands of prisoners, all of whom listen to the head of the big cell. Liu Zhengren is known as the head of the first cell in the Great Song Dynasty, he has taken over the affairs of the prison for about fifteen years, and not a single prisoner has escaped, this person is quite not simple...... Dare to catch up with this kind of mess when you were young? I can't see it......"

"Are you familiar with him?" Zhan Zhao asked Ouyang, thinking that the Imperial City Army was responsible for escorting prisoners all year round, and Ouyang should have more opportunities to deal with him.

Ouyang smiled and shook his head, "There is no one in this world who is familiar with Liu Zheng. ”

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"Liu Zheng is a simple person, as if he is unsightly, everything is done by a few wardens under him, and when he shows up, something basically happens." Ouyang Gan laughed, "Judging from the few times I have dealt with him, this person is too suitable to be a warden!" Meticulous and insidious, he usually likes to stand in a place where there is a shadow that can cover half of his face, and he is a little hunchback and gloomy, but his kung fu is quite good. ”

"This doesn't look like someone who has studied in Taixue." Zhan Zhao thought it was a little magical.

"Hmm...... I really didn't think he was a scholar. Ouyang said, touching his chin, "But I have been to his study, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging in the study, I originally thought he liked to collect, but once he was writing when he went, the calligraphy is quite good, now think about it, it makes sense." ”

Everyone looked at each other and said that he was not suspicious, it did seem that it had nothing to do with the case, but it was said that he was suspicious...... I always feel a little weird.

When it was almost dawn, Ochre Shadow ran back covered in mud, and when he entered the door, he said to Zhan Zhao, "Lord Zhan, I found something amazing!" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other and asked in unison, "Gold?" ”

Ochre nodded, "That's a lot!" ”

……

When everyone came to Xie Yiting's house, they saw that Ochre Shadow really led people to dig the house to the bottom, and in the ground, a cellar was dug up, and Ochre Shadow and they carried up three large boxes from inside, and when they opened it, they were full of gold. Bai Yutang glanced at it and said, "Thirty thousand taels of gold." ”

Everyone looked at the housekeeper and concubine of Xie Yiting.

Unexpectedly, none of the Xie family's relatives knew where the money came from, and they shook their heads vigorously and said that they didn't know what was going on, let alone that the master had hidden so much gold at home.

Zhan Zhao took out a gold bar, looked at it, and handed it to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang took it and looked at it, and saw that there was a mark on the gold bar—it was the mark of the Jin family's gold shop, the triangular mark.

"This is the gold from Kim Sun's house?" Bai Yutang frowned, "Why are you ...... at the Xie Yi Pavilion house?"

"Xie Yiting was expelled from Taixue back then, and in a blink of an eye, he had his own business, maybe this is the capital." Zhan Zhao said, "Originally, it was just speculation, but now that it has come true, it seems that it is necessary to talk to Liu Zheng." ”

"Do you suspect that the few people who participated in the first test paper back then had something to do with the murder of the Jin family and the missing gold?" Zhao Pu asked.

Zhan Zhao said, "Don't you think it's strange? It's not easy to learn too much! Even if you enter Taixue and take the last place in the exam every year, you will have a bright future when you come out in the future, why do you take the risk of stealing the test questions and doing such a stupid thing? ”

Everyone frowned—yes.

"Kung Fu can't be practiced in a day or two." Zhan Zhao said, "Liu Zheng's kung fu must have been practiced since he was a child, if he had this kind of kung fu, how could he be found out by a few masters stealing the test papers?" There's definitely something wrong here! ”

Bai Yutang also nodded, "I also want to go to the Heavenly Prison to have a look...... Speaking of which, there's a friend of mine in there. ”

"Wow......" Everyone was taken aback by Bai Yutang, "Is your friend on business in the prison or squatting in the class room?" ”

Bai Yutang smiled, "Squatting in the class room." ”

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "What's the situation?" ”

Bai Yutang waved his hand lightly, "I met a few years ago, although I killed someone, but I am not a bad person." ”

"Why did he kill people?" Zhan Zhao wondered.

"Revenge." Bai Yutang said, "He was originally a dart walker, relying on a sister for his life, and when he got home, he found that his sister was snatched away by an official, and he ran to save people, but the girl had committed suicide, so he killed the official in a fit of anger." Who would have thought that a maid was killed by mistake in the process, so he ran to squat in the class room. ”

Zhanzhao touched his chin, "Oh...... That's right. ”

"I was supposed to be sentenced to death, but that year happened to meet the amnesty of the world, and the sentence was changed to squatting in prison, thinking that it would be estimated that I would squat for a lifetime." Bai Yutang said, "But later, it seemed that it was found out that the official was corrupt and perverted the law, so the sentence was reduced, and he may be released soon." ”

"Oh......" Zhanzhao nodded, then wondered, "How do you know?" ”

"I heard a friend mention it a while ago." Bai Yutang said casually, "You also know, Ximen Medicine." ”

It is clear that most of the kilns in Kaifeng Mansion were opened by him, and the legendary friend of women, Ximen Yao, is indeed one of Bai Yutang's several unreliable friends.

Zhan Zhao tilted his head and pondered, the idea came up, and poked Bai Yutang, "You asked Ximen Yao to visit the prison once, and help inquire if there are any people with particularly good literary talents in this prison?" ”

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhanzhao, "Is the writing good?" Do you suspect that the three missing scholars are in prison? ”

"Maybe! By the way, let him ask your friend who Liu Zheng is, your friend has been squatting in it for so long, whether he hears it or observes it himself, he should know Liu Zheng's personality better than Ouyang. Zhan Zhao said, "Let's not go first, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "It's a solution, Qiu Jian seems to have intended to sneak into the prison before, if it's just for Liu Zheng, there is no need to go to the prison, there should be any other clues in the prison." ”

……

Bai Yutang made an appointment with Ximen Yao to tell him the inside story, and Ximen Yao naturally agreed, and he also visited the prison, so he went to the prison and asked an old friend for news.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were waiting for Ximen Medicine in a restaurant near the North City Gate, and they were drinking tea when they heard the tea guests chatting.

The two of them didn't listen very carefully at first, but a few words unconsciously got into their ears - General You, General Youlian......

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both confused, so they listened carefully.

What people are discussing is - do you know why the right general Long Qiaoguang is so good at archery? It turns out that he is the only descendant of General Youlian, and he will also be the peerless true biography of General Youlian back then, the Meteor Arrow.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin and looked at Bai Yutang - what's the situation?

Bai Yutang thought for a moment and smiled slightly, "Let's fight back." ”

After listening to it for a while, the rumor is that General Youlian is doing well, accompanied by a confidant, and his apprentice is filial and has a long life.

"Blowing like this, is it to stimulate the other party?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang held the teacup and said, "No matter who the other party is, he has done so many things just to make Uncle Xiaoxiao out of order, and now the whole world knows that General Youlian is not only in order but also in order, so he naturally can't bear it." ”

"Then will he turn all his anger on Long Qiaoguang's head?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bai Yutang smiled, "Isn't this what the nagging wants." ”

Zhan Zhao limited the song order, "Will it be dangerous?" ”

Bai Yutang said, "If there is danger, you should also go to the soup for the sake of your idol." ”

Zhan Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, but with the help of his grandfather and Tianzun, it is estimated that nothing will happen, and although this trick is crooked and damaged, can you use strange tricks to deal with strange people, maybe it really works!
