In the beautiful season when the apricot blossoms first bloomed and the willows wept down the embankment, the people of Kaifeng Mansion who had been in the ice and snow in the north for too long finally returned to Kaifeng City.

Although Zhao Zhen's letter said that he was in a hurry, and everyone was in a hurry to return this time, Kaifeng Mansion was still the lively and peaceful Kaifeng Mansion. At least the people of Kaifeng City are living quite comfortably, and this day is just in time for the market, and the streets are full of people.

At noon, the north gate of Kaifeng City suddenly opened, and the sound of gongs and opening the way came from outside.

At a sharp-eyed glance, he saw the sign of "fair and honest", and began to shout, "Master Bao is back!" ”

So, for a while, I didn't see the Kaifeng people of Lord Bao welcoming him, of course, the most clear thing to hear was the big girls and little daughters-in-law waving the incense towels in their hands and shouting, "Lord Zhan!" Ahhh The sound was simply resounding in the sky.

It stands to reason that the popularity of Kaifeng Mansion, Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao are not equal, but Bai Wuye rushed to the road these days and felt that he should change his name to "Niyutang", and before he entered the city, he took his subordinates straight to Baifu to take a bath and change clothes.

The patrol team of Kaifeng Mansion was followed by Zhao Pu's soldiers and horses, so the screams of the girls in front were replaced by the roars of a group of stout men, and a large group of old men were heard waving the dirty sweat towels in their hands and howling, "Nine princes! Whoop"

This movement shocked Xiao Wu and was embarrassed to admit that he was a tiger.

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he was indignant, why are all girls who shout Zhanzhao, and all those who call Lao Tzu are men? !

However, it was not Zhanzhao or Zhao Pu who had the highest voice, and when he saw that in the carriage behind Zhao Pu, the curtain of the car was raised, and the little fourth son poked his head out to look out......

"Ahh

The men, women, and children on both sides of the road instantly boiled, and everyone shouted together, "Little four! Yaay ”

Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu both subconsciously raised their eyelids, and Gongsun touched his chin, "The little fourth son is actually more popular than Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu!" ”

When the little fourth son heard someone call him, he smiled and revealed two small pear vortices, and waved his chubby little hand at the uncle and aunt on the street, and instantly ...... The crowd is surging.

Master Bao touched the beard on his chin and nodded, "Oh, the future is terrifying!" ”

In the carriage, Pang Taishi, who was so "motion sick", was lying flat, Bao Yan fanned him, and Pang Yu rubbed his chest.

Bao Yan never thought that he would fan this world-famous corrupt official in the early years.

"I said Lao Bao, you don't say what the case is, just know that Lu Dao is desperately hurrying, old man, half of my life will be buried in your hands!"

Master Bao glanced at him, "Don't you want to enter the palace to see Xiangxiang soon?" ”

When Master Bao spoke, he saw that Master Pang suddenly became excited.

Bao Yan hurriedly fanned him, and said to Bao Zheng, "Dad, don't stimulate him." ”

Taishi asked Pang Yu excitedly, "How far is it?" Advanced Palace! Yes...... O my granddaughter! Grandpa is here! ”

Master Bao shook his head.

After the carriages arrived at the main street in the north-south direction, they began to diverge, some of them went back to the Nine Princes' Mansion, some of them went back to Kaifeng Mansion, and the remaining few carriages drove straight to the palace.

When they came to the gate of the city, they dismounted from their carriages.

Zhan Zhao stood outside the team and looked into the distance, saying that Bai Yutang was so slow! It doesn't take that long to take a shower! That mouse who only has money is exquisite!

Lin Yehuo stretched his waist, got out of the carriage with a yawn, rubbed his shoulders and looked left and right, stunned, "What about the fat monk?" ”

Everyone was speechless.

In other words, Lin Yehuo may have followed the people of Kaifeng Mansion a while ago, and he ate more fish and meat, so he weighed three catties a few days ago. Zhan Zhao was so envious, Lin Yehuo was going crazy, and he jumped to his feet and asked Kaifeng Mansion Isn't it Qingshui Yamen, why is the food like this? !

Everyone subconsciously looked at Bai Yutang - he was used to feeding cats.

But Zou Liang poked coldly, "If you don't say it, you're fat, and no one else is fat." ”

So, Lin Yehuo decided to lose weight in shame!

Huofeng counted the days, and it would take about three days to get to Kaifeng Mansion, so he retreated, shrunk in the carriage and didn't go out, and ate cabbage and tofu every day to lose weight.

This has just come out, Lin Yehuo pinched his arms and waist, and felt that he had lost weight back to the way he used to be, and he was very pleased.

Not far away, Xiao Liangzi asked Shu Qing in a low voice, "If the turkey is known to Zou Liang to mix chicken soup, fish soup, sea cucumber soup and various soups into his cabbage tofu every day, I don't know if Lu Dao will go crazy." ”

Su Qing was also helpless, "Don't let him know that he is thin!" ”

Everyone nodded tacitly, and Zou Liang looked at the clouds in the sky - it was easier to touch if he was fatter.

For this reason, Bai Yutang squinted at Zhanzhao, what does that mean-as a foodie, you are embarrassed not to get fat no matter how you eat! People have gained three pounds when they drink soup!

Zhan Zhao looked up and down, left and right, Bai Yutang's waistline that would never change, that means-you are embarrassed to say me.

Xiao Sizi pinched his little belly and looked at his father's waist, which was not even a palm, and pouted - it would be nice if it could be even!

Lin Yehuo got out of the car and couldn't find his master Wusha...... Where did the Great Monk go? and Tianzun, Yin Hou and Lu Tianhan, and left together.

These four old men were originally on their way with everyone, but the half-gods mysteriously said that they had something to do and left, and no one knew where they went. But everyone is not worried, after all, these four people are walking together, who can move them?

Nangong Ji came out of the palace with a group of guards, and everyone went in, but Zhan Zhao dragged his feet behind the most and kept looking, Bai Yutang was so slow, so slow, super slow!

He was depressed when he heard someone behind him talking, "Don't you want to leave?" Lost again after a while! ”

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and turned his head...... Sure enough, the man was dressed in white and stood behind him in a dashing manner, probably because he was always sitting in the carriage for a while, and Bai Yutang became more and more beautiful and white.

Zhanzhao frowned - this beautiful mouse!

Bai Yutang saw that everyone was about to go away, so he pulled Zhanzhao and followed.

At this time, Zhao Zhen was waiting for them in the imperial garden in civilian clothes, probably because the master of Zhilu Dao was in a hurry to see his grandson, so he simply brought Xiangxiang here.

I haven't seen her for more than two months, Xiangxiang has obviously grown up a little bit, and she is getting more and more cute, this is a little beauty! Chubby was wearing a white dress, and Concubine Pang raised her so well that she didn't know how good she was.

Xiangxiang obviously remembered Taishi and Pang Yu, babbling with his hands open, and Taishi didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, so he pounced on him and kissed him.

Zhao Zhen simply gave him his daughter, and went to the other side to beckon Bao Zheng and them to sit down and talk in detail.

As soon as they met, Zhao Zhen gave everyone a hard time, and the people who traveled north this time can be described as hard work, and when they heard that a few old people did not come, Zhao Zhen was very sorry, and he wanted to thank him.

"Your Majesty." Bao Zheng arched his hand to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I'm in a hurry to call Bao Xiang back, it's not that I'm in a hurry, but I think Bao Xiang should be in a hurry." ”

Bao Zheng nodded, "Thank you for your compassion!" The old minister is indeed in a hurry! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled, "I'll let Nangong take you to Kaifeng Mansion in a while, and Aiqing will go back and investigate the case slowly, but tonight I will set up a banquet for you to wash the dust." ”

"The emperor's ......" Bao Zheng seems to want to refuse, thinking that eating and drinking will be another day, and it is important to be serious!

Zhan Zhao and the others were curious - what is it that Lord Bao is so anxious about? Even Master Pang rarely saw Bao Zheng's situation, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Zhao Zhen smiled and patted Bao Zheng, "Aiqing, if I don't give you the wind, the Queen Mother will have to die of me, and you should also be sympathetic to me." ”

Bao Zheng said, "Don't dare." ”

Zhao Zhen was still happy and kind, stretched out his hand and pulled the little fourth son and Xiao Liang, and went to the harem with the Taishi to see Concubine Pang and the Queen Mother.

Gongsun hasn't entered the palace for a long time, saying that he is going to see the situation of Concubine Pang and the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is taking the rheumatism medicine prescribed to her by Gongsun before leaving, and I don't know what the situation is like.

As his own family, Zhao Pu also followed, and Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang still had the idle Lin Yehuo, so they followed Bao Zheng back to Kaifeng.

Several other generals of the Zhao family's army, Long Qiaoguang returned to the northwest first, Ouyang Shaozheng led the soldiers and horses back to the palace after entering the city, Zou Liang was arranged by Zhao Pu to follow Lord Bao and them to Kaifeng, listen to what was going on, and go back to talk to him in detail.

After everyone went to Kaifeng Mansion for a while, they finally returned to the study and sat down.

After Bao Yan brought a cup of tea to Master Bao, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what strange case?" ”

Master Bao thought about it, sighed, and asked Bao Yan, "What I told you last time, how did you think about the matter of letting you enter Taixue to study?" ”

"Okay!" Bao Yan nodded, "Don't you say that you will only go in the second half of the year?" ”

Master Bao touched his beard and nodded, "Dad, I also studied Taixue back then." ”

Everyone sat down to drink tea while listening to Bao Zheng's detailed explanation.

Usually the great talents from all over the world will come to Kaifeng to read Taixue, where the talents and the heirs of the eunuchs gather, there are many writers in the world who are teaching, and they basically have a good future in the future.

Everyone didn't understand what Master Bao was in a hurry to come back and what it had to do with Taixue.

"Speaking of which, have you ever played with the pen fairy, the disc fairy or something?" Mr. Bao asked.

Bao Yan frowned and whispered, "Dad, those are all deceitful by the charlatans!" ”

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao also nodded, but they were surprised that Lord Bao would believe this. “

Master Bao smiled and said, "I've always thought this way before, in fact, I still think so now, I don't believe in these weird things since I was a child, but ...... When Benfu was young, when he was studying in Taixue, there was a strange case. ”

As he spoke, Master Bao turned out a scroll of dragon patterns, put it on the table, and said, "Actually, there are many unsolved cases in Kaifeng, and this is one of them." ”

Bao Yanyan opened the file with his hand, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at it curiously with their teacups, and Lin Yehuo touched his chin and read out the name of the case file - the ghost face case of the Yin Yang Palace.

The crowd looked at each other.

"Yin Yang Palace?!" Bao Yan was stunned.

Zhan Zhao hadn't heard of it, so he asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

"Hmm......" Bao Yan frowned, "It's similar to the pen fairy, the disc fairy, the turntable and the like, it's a trick to connect the two worlds of yin and yang." ”

"How is that played?" Zou Liang didn't understand these things that the gods were talking about, so he asked curiously.

It's a dream, after all, the family has a family history, so I have some understanding, so I said, "The Yin and Yang Palace is a game of playing Yin House and Yang House." First of all, you need to find a house in feng shui at the junction of the two worlds of yin and yang. Then in the middle of the night, sing a ballad, so that the Yang House can become a Yin Yang House, together with the Yin Yang Palace, people can enter, ghosts can come out, very evil. ”

"How are you going to sing that ballad?" Bai Yutang asked.

"It seems to be the Yin Yang Temple...... Yin and Yang otaku ......" Su Qing scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and couldn't understand.

This is, just listen to Master Bao, who has been silent, suddenly speak, "Yin Yang Palace, Yin Yang House, North Yin and South Yang White Candlestick." Lay the word lamp, the spiritual position card, a handful of yellow paper and a handful of firewood. The ghost fires, the ghost eyes open, and the ghost-faced man leads the way. One person knelt, two people carried, three people and four people were buried underground, and in the blink of an eye, the corpses were lined up ......"

Everyone listened to the eyelids, who made this ballad, so scary.

"This song is also called the Soul Eater Song, also known as the Soul Eater Ballad." Master Bao said lightly, "According to legend, as long as you go to a mansion where feng shui yin and yang intersect at midnight and sing this ballad, the yang house will become a yin and yang house." At that time, the north yin and the south yang, which means that from the north gate, the living can enter the underworld, so the north gate is the entrance. And as long as you enter one, the yang gate in the south will come out of the underworld and make trouble in the world, so the south side is going out. ”

"Daddy......" Bao Yan couldn't help but ask Bao Zheng, "Do you believe this?" ”

Master Bao smiled, "Naturally, I don't believe it, but my father has seen the case with his own eyes!" ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Master Bao.

"Back then, I used this method for my classmates and friends because they missed their dead lover, and they wanted to go to the Yin Yang Temple to bring his lover back." Master Bao sighed, "He found a house of yin and yang feng shui and sang this ballad at midnight." I watched him enter through the north gate, and since then he has disappeared. I saw with my own eyes that a ghost-faced man ran out of the south gate and disappeared into the dark alleys. That year, there were frequent murders in Kaifeng Mansion, and many people said that they saw a ghost-faced man doing strange things...... It took a year to stop. But the ghost-faced man was never found, and my classmate never appeared again. ”
