At noon, the mighty patrol team came to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

The guards opened the gate to greet the party.

There are people on both sides who are watching the excitement, and there is not too much chaos, after all, the people of Kaifeng have also seen the world, and the other ...... In case the order is disturbed in broad daylight, or if you hit someone and crowd the shop, you will have to suffer a lawsuit.

The little fourth son opened his eyes wide open the car window and looked hard.

Gongsun tugged at his clothes behind him, so that he would not get excited, and roll out of the car like a winter melon.

Zhao Pu still yawned in Gongsun's carriage.

Gongsun held his chin and looked at him, remembering what the little fourth son said that day, "Jiujiu is like a lazy lion." ”

Gongsun looked at it and laughed, Zhao Pu looked like an invincible general on the battlefield, he was a ...... A lion who is too lazy to do it.

He was watching, Zhao Pu suddenly opened one eye and looked at Gongsun, "Stay, peep at me!" ”

The corner of Gongsun's mouth twitched, he glanced at him, and dragged the little fourth son over and hugged him, "Are there many people?" ”

"Many!"

The little fourth son got into Gongsun's arms and rubbed his chest.

"Is it lively?"

"Lively!"

……

Gongsun has a sentence to tease the little fourth son, and by the way, he pinched a few times and rubbed two handfuls, and the little fourth son giggled.

Zhao Pu held his chin and looked at it, and said in his heart that being a father is actually quite interesting, there is a ball by his side every day, and he rubs it a few times, and he is obedient and well-behaved......

I was in a daze, and I felt that the carriage had stopped.

Ouyang probe came in, "Lord Wang, the palace has arrived." ”

"Oh." Zhao Pu got up, didn't go out of the door, jumped out of the car window directly, turned back to Gongsun and said, "I'll go back first, where will you eat in a while?" ”

Gongsun shook his head blankly.

"Then you tell Zhanzhao and them, wait for me, I have a good place to go!" After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

The fourth son and the grandson glanced at each other - the feeling of the snake on the ground!

The carriage moved forward again, and the street became more and more lively, this time, Gongsun couldn't help but look outside - Kaifeng is different, the houses are higher, there are more pedestrians, and there are many shops, which is very lively.

Gongsun was nervous and grabbed the belt of the little fourth son, "Little fourth son, there are so many people here, you have to follow your father, don't get lost." ”

Xiao Sizi also frowned - this problem seems to be very serious.

"Don't be afraid, you can't lose it."

As he spoke, a blue figure crept in.

Zhanzhao held an oiled paper bag in his hand, opened the special snack inside of Kaifeng, and handed it to Xiao Sizi to eat, "Little Sizi, pad your stomach first, it is estimated that you will have to wait a while before you can eat, and Zhao Pu said please after a while." ”

The little fourth son reached out to take the pastry to eat, and stuffed a piece into his mouth for Gongsun as well.

Gongsun asked Zhanzhao, "What about Bai Yutang?" ”

"Let's go home and put our luggage first." Zhan Zhao sighed twice, "The Trap Island is really rich in financial resources, and I only now know that the mansion and half of the mountain in Kaifeng Chengdong are the property of the Trap Island.

The fourth son was surprised, "Is it so rich for nothing?" “

Zhan Zhao nodded, "That's not it, it's not ordinarily rich, and we will eat big in the future!" ”

"Big eater?" The fourth son tilted his head, and the grandson stuffed him with a piece of pastry, so that he could talk less nonsense, and asked Zhanzhao, "Where is your cousin?" ”

……

Speaking of which, except for Zhao Pu, Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi, the others did not clearly know who the Marquis of Lu Dao Yin was in Zhanzhao.

Although Gongsun and Master Bao are not stupid, they didn't ask if there was anything to take care of in other people's family affairs, so they just said "cousin" so as not to cause trouble for Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao also frowned when he heard it, "I don't know what to do, I met when I left Tianshan that day, and said that I met an acquaintance and asked us to go ours, don't worry about him." ”

Zhan Zhao wasn't worried that something would happen to Yin Hou, and it wasn't the first day that he saw the head and the tail of the dragon, but he didn't care a little about it, after all, he was old. ”

At this time, Pang Taishi's team also left the crowd, and the carriage turned to the Taishi Mansion on the side, and he didn't forget to wave to Gongsun and their carriage before leaving.

The little fourth son lay in front of the window and waved goodbye to Master Pang.

Gongsun suddenly asked Zhanzhao curiously, "I heard that Master Pang is notoriously bad, and people give him the nickname Old Crab, and his lawless son Pang Yu is known as Little Crab, who is rampant and domineering and annoying, but after a few days of getting along, it looks okay." ”

Zhan Zhao waved his hand twice, "Sir, don't be preconceived, how can Master Pang outside be the same as Master Pang in Kaifeng?" ”

Gongsun said he didn't understand.

"The real bad guys are so bad that people can't see it these days, you are a miracle doctor, and it is harmless to have a good relationship with you, I have good kung fu, and I can save his life at a critical time, Zhao Pu is high and powerful, Bai Yutang is also a dragon and phoenix among people, and the Taishi is naturally too late, so why offend." Besides, we don't have any conflicts of interest with him, and it's okay to meet and laugh, but if there is anything serious, then the Taishi will be destroyed for himself...... But don't worry, he has a weakness. ”

"What weakness?" Gongsun was curious.

"Master Bao." Zhan Zhao smiled at Gongsun and nodded, "Don't worry, I have identified the entire Kaifeng, and Lord Bao is the blackest!" Cure the master obediently! ”

Gongsun sighed softly, "Actually, everything else is fine, I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with things like official fights when the time comes." ”

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, squatted beside Gongsun and gently patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. just see a doctor and save people, don't pay attention to anything else, even if you are straightforward and quick to offend people, it doesn't matter, the context of Kaifeng Mansion is covered by adults, and Wu is covered by me, no one can hurt you and the little fourth son." ”

Gongsun smiled at Zhanzhao, he really deserved to be a hero, and he made a promise casually, but it was very reassuring to listen to.

Gongsun hugged his fist and shook it to Zhan Zhao, "First thank you, thank you, brother Zhan." ”

Zhanzhao shook his fist at him, "Angry." ”

Zhan Zhao picked up the little fourth son and shook it, "Little fourth son, how about staying at the door opposite me?" I live in one of the two rooms in my yard, and there are several cats in the yard! ”

When the little fourth son heard that he could live with Zhanzhao, he clapped his hands happily.

Gongsun is naturally happy, and being neighbors with Zhanzhao must have a lot of fun every day.

The mighty team finally stopped in front of Kaifeng Mansion.

Gongsun got out of the carriage and looked up - startled.

Xiao Sizi opened his mouth wide, "Wow, Kaifeng Mansion is so big?" ”

Gongsun secretly admired in his heart, he originally thought it was only a little bigger than an ordinary yamen, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

The officials and soldiers have returned to everyone, and as soon as Zhanzhao got out of the car with his little fourth son in his arms, he saw a group of small servants running out of the gate to help carry things, followed by a dozen young maids.

Zhan Zhao hugged the little fourth son, entered the mansion with Gongsun, and introduced Gongsun, "Sitting in the north and facing south is the yamen hall of Kaifeng Mansion in front, and the back is the official shed, where the officials on duty on weekdays are on duty." The courtyard over there is where the officials live, the playground over there is for military training, and there is a small military camp over there, and there are 500 elite soldiers stationed there in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhan Zhao pointed to the west again, "There is the kitchen and storeroom, and the back is mainly the residence of the family, and the maids also live there, so we basically don't go there on weekdays." ”

Gongsun nodded, sighing again...... That's right, there are so many people, how can they live in a small way!

"There is a garden in the back" Zhanzhao introduced, "There is a small building in the garden, which is a Tibetan building, and inside is the private collection of Lord Bao, there are a lot!" ”

Gongsun's eyes lit up.

"Then behind the garden is the room of the adult, the back of the room is the bedroom of the adult, next to the yard where we live, and the Zhang Long Zhao Hu Dynasty Mahan, there are some guarded rooms behind the house, and there are guards in the Kaifeng Mansion at night to patrol, but there are not many people, three shifts." Zhan Zhao said, jumping up and pointing to the back, "There is a back door behind the most Lu, and a house outside the back door also belongs to Kaifeng Mansion, and there are ancestral halls, porridge shops, good halls, and pharmacies behind ......."

The fourth son and the grandson both listened with their faces turned up and their mouths open.

"Then there are cells and places for temporary prisoners in the back, there are garrisons all around, and there is a relatively large dungeon, which is for repeat offenders, and then there is a prison in Kaifeng City behind it, and the last is to the mountains and forests. On the hill was a quarry where the prisoners would work, and there was a paddock behind the woods. However, the paddock does not belong to Kaifeng Mansion, and the military generals or young sons in the court like to go to the paddock to hunt, and there are roe deer, roe deer and the like, but there are no fierce beasts.

Gongsun nodded frequently - the scale of Kaifeng Mansion is really big enough.

While speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties came over and saluted Zhan Zhao, "Lord Zhan." ”

Zhan Zhao returned the salute and introduced to Gongsun, "This is Bao Fu, Uncle Fu has been following Master Bao for more than 30 years, and he is the housekeeper of Kaifeng Mansion. With that, Zhanzhao introduced the grandson and the little fourth son to Bao Fu, and Bao Fu hurriedly saluted, and took the two little maids who stared at the little fourth son to clean up the house for the grandson and the grandson.

Gongsun looked at his back, and always felt that there was a shrewd atmosphere, and he had a fight with Bai Fu, the housekeeper next to Bai Yutang.

"By the way, Kaifeng Mansion has a total of four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the south is the gate of the Yamen, basically not much walking, the west gate is facing the most lively street in Kaifeng Mansion, there is a room at the door is empty, before the adults are still worried about doing something, this time it is just to run a pharmacy, Mr. has nothing to do to go to the clinic." After Zhan Zhao introduced his grandson, he took one big and one small into the garden.

There are no exotic flowers and plants in the garden, it is an ordinary yard, but the trees are well planted, and the plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum is very elegant, which shows that someone takes care of it carefully.

"When Mr. Bao thinks about it, he likes to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, so the heavier the better." Zhan Zhao smiled a little embarrassedly, "But when I think about it, I like to pull a few flowers and leaves, so Master Bao forbade me to enter the garden empty-handed." ”

Gongsun and Xiao Sizi looked at each other and smiled, and they heard a "meow".

The two looked up at the wall and were startled.

And they saw the wall, on the rockery, on the trunk of the tree...... There are many cats lying on their stomachs, all kinds of breeds, some lazily napping, some wagging their tails.

"That's a lot of cats." The little fourth son wondered.

Zhan Zhao was a little helpless, "Alas, I don't know if Lu Dao is born to attract cats, anyway, usually wherever I live, I will bring a few cats over." Originally, there were only two or three, but the kitchen lady and those little maids all fed them with food, maybe those cats went out and passed on a hundred, you see so much. ”

Saying that, Zhanzhao didn't forget to remind the little fourth son, "The little maids will bathe the cats, but it's better to hug them less and be careful of attracting insects." ”

"Don't be afraid." Gongsun patted the small purse on the waist of the little fourth son, "Bring some herbs, don't get any insects, I'll write a recipe for a while, everyone will bring some on their bodies, and they won't be afraid of insects."

Zhanzhao is naturally happy, having a doctor is different, Gongsun lives in Kaifeng is really good, this is a miracle doctor, more magnificent than the palace's own imperial doctor.

The feeling of the whole Kaifeng Mansion to Gongsun is atmospheric, simple but not simple, elegant, clean, orderly, and strong human touch.

Gongsun's imaginary Kaifeng Mansion should be a cold yamen, so he didn't understand how Zhanzhao could live in such a cheerful person, it turned out that it was far from the case, except for the yamen lobby in front, there was a big mansion in the back. It can be seen that Lord Bao is very kind on weekdays, those maids are very lively, but they are very polite, they are really worthy of the talent of the prime minister, governing the country and the family in the world, everything is first-class!

When Gongsun roughly cleaned up and turned around, he saw that the little fourth son was gone, and there was a sound of chirping in the courtyard.

Gongsun walked to the door and saw more than a dozen little maids in a circle, looking at the little four sons who were encircled.

The little fourth son has grown so big, and he hasn't seen so many women at once, and he has a big handful of snacks and fruits given to him by the maids, and he looks quite shy.

Gongsun couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that even if he is busy, the fourth son will have someone to play with.

Just after noon, Zhao Pu sent someone to invite him, saying that he would have dinner in the imperial building opposite the prince's mansion.

Gongsun touched his chin, "Listening to the name is so bad......"

"The Imperial Tower is actually a name, because it was obtained from the palace." Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "The crabs there are good." ”

Gongsun wants to laugh, Zhanzhao is not only a hero but also a foodie, it seems that he knows best where there is anything delicious, but it is also strange, he is not fat in such a way of eating, could it be because he is too active?

This time, Bao Zheng and them went out on patrol and cracked several big cases, and after coming back to Kaifeng, there was no backlog of cases, so everyone was very relaxed.

However, Master Bao seemed to have something on his mind, and he didn't go to dinner with Zhanzhao and them, so he hurriedly ate two bites of something, made an appointment with Master Pang, went to find the eighth prince, and brought Tong Dabao, which is estimated to have something to do with the case of Peach Blossom Niangniang.

Zhan Zhao felt that this case was not like a word, and he didn't want to ask more.

When he arrived at the gate of the Imperial Tower, Zhan Zhao swept around first - there was no white horse!

Everyone went upstairs, and in the private room on the third floor, Zhao Pu held his face and yawned listlessly.

Zhan Zhao, his grandson, and the fourth son entered the door and were a little puzzled when they saw this scene.

Xiao Sizi climbed onto the stool and asked Zhao Pu, "Jiujiu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Pu looked at the sky, "It's better outside, it's clean......" As he said, he asked Zhanzhao, "Do you still have a bed in Kaifeng Mansion?" I'm going to spend the night tonight. ”

Zhan Zhao frowned when he heard this, he can't live in such a big palace, why do you live in Kaifeng Mansion?

Ouyang Shaozheng winked at Zhan Zhao and whispered - read by the imperial concubine!

It is clear that since ancient times, many heroes have been afraid of their mothers.

The little fourth son was curious and asked Zhao Pu, "Jiujiu, why does your mother miss you?" ”

Ouyang smiled evilly, "It's not just those few words, hurry up and get married, hurry up and give birth to a baby, and hurry up to have a person." ”

The fourth son was puzzled, "Isn't there anyone in Jiujiu now?" ”

Zhao Pu pursed his lips, shook his head and said to the little fourth son, "In this world, there is an enemy that can never be defeated!" ”

Little Sizi's eyes widened.

"Mother!" Zhao Pu said seriously, "You can't beat it!" ”

Gongsun laughed, "You are so old, starting a family is the right thing, what to hide, unfilial!" ”

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched.

The little fourth son blinked, "Jiujiu wants to marry?" ”

"Poof......

Ouyang Shaozheng squirted out a sip of tea, Zhanzhao carefully studied the recipes on the wall, and glanced at the main road outside the window from time to time - Bai Yutang is still not here?

Zhao Pu looked at the little fourth son funny.

Gongsun stretched out his hand and pinched the face of the little fourth son, "You are here again, the man is married, and the woman is married!" ”

"Oh." Xiao Sizi thought about it and asked Zhao Pu very concernedly, "Who is Jiujiu going to marry?" ”

Zhao Pu held his chin and pouted, "None of them are eye-catching." ”

"Hey." Ouyang Shaozheng bumped his elbow into Zhao Pu, "There will be a lot of ironclad proposals at dinner tomorrow, how can you deal with it?" ”

Zhao Pu's face was elongated, "Can't you go if you don't go?" ”

"Where are you going to eat tomorrow?" Gongsun was curious.

"By the way, tomorrow the emperor will invite hundreds of civil and military officials to a banquet, and by the way, he will receive the envoys, everyone will go." Ouyang explained to Gongsun.

Gongsun nodded, thinking that there should be nothing wrong with him, but Zhao Pu was forced to marry should be quite interesting. Zhao Pu picked up the cup and wanted to drink saliva, but he saw that the little fourth son next to Gongsun was looking at him with slanted eyes, and a small pimple was twisted between his eyebrows, as if he was dissatisfied.

Zhao Pu thought it was interesting, so he lowered his head and wanted to ask him, but the little fourth son turned his face and ignored Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu wondered, staring at him.

Xiao Sizi's mouth pouted, obviously angry with Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu scratched his head - how did you offend him?

What is the little fourth son angry about? Qi Zhao Pu's sentence - no one is eye-catching!

Ouyang held his chin, "I'm so hungry, can't I eat yet?" ”

Zhan Zhao looked out, "Bai Yutang hasn't come yet?" Didn't anyone inform him? “

"I sent the letter early in the morning." Purple Shadow jumped down from the roof, followed by Ochre Shadow, and the two seemed to be looking at the roof for a while, "Is there something delayed?" ”

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "No, if he doesn't come, he should send someone to deliver a letter, shouldn't he ......?"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Pu saw that Zhanzhao suddenly became serious, and said in his heart, don't have anything wrong.

Who knew that Zhanzhao was silent for a long time and spoke, "Will you get lost?" ”

And everybody lifted their foreheads......

was puzzled, so he heard the slight footsteps at the door, and then the door of the private room was pushed open, and Bai Yutang walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, everyone in the room looked back at him.

Bai Yutang was stunned, looked back at everyone in confusion, and realized that he might be late, so he said, "I'm sorry." ”

Zhan Zhao held a chopstick in one hand, stared at Bai Yutang up and down, and his gaze fell on his shoulder, "There is a petal on the shoulder." ”

Bai Yutang frowned, stretched out his hand and patted it, patting a pale pink petal.

Gongsun stared at the petals on the ground and touched his chin, "It's peach blossoms." ”

"There is mud on the shoes...... Ouyang shook his head, "You're in a hurry?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Pu nodded, "The mud is plaster, there is almost nothing in Kaifeng City, you live in the east, and there are ...... on the mountains in the eastern suburbs Did you go up the mountain? ”

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "In the mountains of the eastern suburbs, orchards have been planted in the east, and the wild forests in the west are uninhabited. It doesn't seem to have rained in the past few days, and the soft mud is only available in the east, so you went to someone's orchard? ”

"Since it is stained with peach petals, it should be the peach blossom forest." Zhao Pu held his chin and grinned, "Isn't it that you, Fifth Master Bai, also want to meet Peach Blossom Niangniang?" ”

"Ask for peach blossoms too?" Ouyang was surprised.

"Isn't that redundant?" Zhanzhao took a cup of tea and blew it, "If you want peach blossoms, you don't have to ask for them, the peach blossoms will bloom when you show your face." ”

Bai Yutang walked to the table and sat down speechlessly, and looked at everyone, "I really met Peach Blossom Niangniang." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and stared at Bai Yutang with a brush.

Bai Yutang was silent for a moment and spoke, "It's a joke." ”

……

With a faint smile on Bai Yutang's face, Zhan Zhao took a cool breath - Bai Yutang actually laughed!

The purple shadow dragged the ochre shadow - did Bai Yutang encounter something good? Millennial facial paralysis is actually a joke!

"Anyway, what are you doing in the orchard?" Zhan Zhao wondered.

"Something strange happened." Bai Yutang said, "There is a maid in my Zhuangzi, it seems to be called a peach or an apricot, I don't know what to do, and the person is gone." ”

"Gone?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Did you get lost or did something happen?" ”

"I didn't know what to do, but when I wanted to go out to eat here just now, I saw a few maids crying at the door of the house, so I went to ask." Bai Yutang frowned, "That girl seems to have just been abandoned by a negative man a month ago, and then she was depressed, that negative man married a girl from a rich family, and she also sewed people and said that the girl was not, so that she jumped into the river and committed suicide after being the most embarrassed, but fortunately she was found and rescued by the people in Zhuangzi in time." ”

Gongsun shook his head, "There are really a lot of negative people these years." ”

Zhao Pu nodded, "It's a little lacking in morality." ”

"Three days ago, that maid suddenly took the candle paper money and went out in the middle of the night."

"In the middle of the night?" Gongsun was surprised, "What are you going to do with candle paper money?" ”

"A maid who knew her well said that she hated the man very much and always wanted revenge, and before going out that day, she seemed to say that there was a way to clean up the man." Bai Yutang shrugged, "That maid thought she might have gone to some temple to burn incense and curse something, and she didn't stop it, but she has been gone for three days and hasn't come back yet." ”

"Don't something happen." Ouyang Dao, "I can't think of finding that man, but I was poisoned first." ”

Everyone also felt suspicious, but why did they take revenge with incense paper money?

"The maid at the door said that the maid was going in the direction of the orchard." Bai Yutang said, "I went to the orchard before I came and met an old man who was watching the orchard, saying that he did see a girl enter the garden that night, he was startled at first and thought it was a female ghost, but the girl asked him how to go to the peach blossom forest. ”

"Peach blossoms again?" Zhan Zhao frowned, why did he come back and have nothing to do with Peach Blossom?

"I went to the Peach Blossom Forest, and I didn't see anyone, but I picked up something." Bai Yutang took it out and put it on the table, and saw that it was a bracelet with peach pits.

The peach pits are carved into the shape of delicate flowers, which are not easy to see, and there are seven in total, which are worn with a red cotton rope.

"Isn't it exquisite?" Gongsun took it and looked at it.

"And the words." Bai Yutang pointed to the back of the peach blossom.

Gongsun turned over the peach blossoms one by one, and saw that there were really words on the back of each peach blossom, a total of seven, Gongsun read for a while, and read a sentence smoothly - Cao Jianhuo burned no corpse.

"Who is Cao Jian?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"I went back and asked, and it was said that it was the negative person." Bai Yutang replied.

"Did the maid carve it herself?" Zhan Zhao took the chain and looked at it, and always felt full of resentment, "The fire burns no corpse......"

Zhao Pu said to Ziying and Ochre Ying, "Go and find out what is the bottom of this Cao Jian." ”

"Yes." Purple Shadow and Ochre Shadow left.

Zhao Pu saw that the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, so he said, "Alas, it is normal for a woman in this year to have multiple curses once she turns her face, and it is estimated that there will be no major incident, so let's eat first." ”

Bai Yutang nodded and felt that it was the same, and everyone put down their minds to eat first.

But when the meal was only half eaten, Ziying and Ochre Ying ran back, and brought an astonishing news - it was said that last night, a fire broke out in a family in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the house collapsed, and the new aunt of this family was burned to death, and was hit by the hot beams, and smashed a dead body. That person is called Cao Jian!

After everyone heard this, they didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long time, Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "I just ran into a peach blossom debt, and this time I ran out of a peach pit spell, who can't get along with peaches?" ”
