256 Twelve Jade Dolls

Sure enough, the rumors that Bao Da heard about successfully angered Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, and Pang Yu and Bao Yan also opened their eyes wide-good guys! Young Master Bai even swore words, it's really rare!

Xiao Liang slapped the table, "No chicken eggs!" ”

The little fourth son nodded, "That's right." ”

The corners of Pang Yu and Bao Yan's mouths twitched - who did these two babies learn this idiom from?

Bao Yan touched the head of the little fourth son and said, "It's indeed nonsense!" Let's not talk about whether Bai Yueyun really knows the magic of witchcraft, and don't say whether this curse exists or not. Let's talk about practice alone...... In this world, no one is famous for martial arts because of good luck, right? This statement is just an excuse made by the loser for himself, what a shame! ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Pang Yu also gave Bao Yan a thumbs up - a good nerd!

Bao Yan was indignant, and seemed to be even angrier than Bai Yutang.

Everyone looked at each other, and Bai Yutang didn't seem to be as angry as just now - if you think about it carefully, probably Bao Yan has also been called "lucky" since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot of anger. Because he has a father named Bao Zheng, no matter how good he does, people say that he is Bao Zheng's son, and he is a child living in the shadow of his father. If he does well, he is lucky, and if he does not do well, he is ashamed of his father......

Pang Yu poured him tea, and the little fourth son also rubbed Bao Yan's chest and told him not to take it to heart.

Zhanzhao asked Bao to inquire, "Where did this rumor come from?" Or when did it come out? ”

"Hmm...... It's been a while. Bao inquired and touched his chin, "It was almost rumored when Boss Qian died, and it has intensified recently." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and the two of them knew in their hearts that it was impossible for Lu Xue'er and Bai Xia not to have heard of it at all, and if they didn't tell Bai Yutang, they just didn't want him to be unhappy.

Zhan Zhao drank tea, asked his buddy for the four treasures of the study, and put the paper and pen in the bag to inquire in front of him.

Bao inquired and was stunned, and looked at Zhanzhao puzzled.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "List all the sects that came here, one for the white way, one for the underworld, and one for the others." β€œ

The corners of Bao inquired, "This...... It's too much work, I'm going to add silver. ”

Without waiting for Bai Yutang to take out the silver, Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "I said ......"

Bao inquired and saw Zhanzhao's expression, and was inexplicably a little nervous, scratching his head.

"Did you help spread this rumor?" Zhanzhao asked him.

Bao inquired and opened his mouth, and then arched his hand, "Dwarf oil, your silver is too hard to earn, I still don't earn it......" After speaking, he was about to go out.

But Purple Shadow had already reached the door, blocking the door, and Ochre Shadow closed the window as well.

Bao inquired and looked back at Zhanzhao, "Hey, I said Lord Zhan, what do you mean?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao looked at the four treasures of the study on the table, "I am an official messenger, and I have gone out to investigate the case here, so you should cooperate with the investigation." Write it down obediently, but write it carefully, and if there is any mistake, you will be punished in the future. ”

Bao inquired and opened his mouth wide, "I'm from the rivers and lakes......"

"Really?" Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Then you answer my question, have you ever spread this rumor?" ”

"Uh......"

Everyone looked at Zhanzhao with some puzzlement, and Bai Yutang lowered his head and continued to drink tea.

Pang Yu's mind was bright, he understood a little, and sneered, "That's right, the people of Jianghu have just arrived, if they hear any rumors, most of them will ask the local bag to inquire...... So many people believe that this outrageous rumor is true, indicating that they have confirmed it with you. ”

Bao inquired, his face changed at this time, but he couldn't run away.

"Give you a thousand dares, and you won't dare to offend Yingxue Palace." Zhan Zhao said, "There is only one reason, people die for money, birds die for food, who gave you silver, so that you can speak with your conscience when the people in the rivers and lakes ask you about this rumor?" ”

Bao inquired about this and the whole person was depressed, and begged Zhan Zhao for mercy, "Zhan Ye, you know everything...... I, I'm also forced to helpless......"

"Huh." Bao Yandu couldn't help laughing at him, "If you want to blame, blame you for being greedy for money!" I want to make double money, eat the last house and eat the next house, this time I have to play it, right?! ”

"Who instructed you?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I ...... Not ......"

"Ahem." Zhan Zhao pointed to his side, and that meant - you speak carefully.

Bao inquired and turned his face to look, and saw Xiao Wu squatting beside him, looking at him with fierce eyes.

Bao inquired that his legs were weak, scratched his head, and said, "Give ...... The man who gave me the money was a man in black, with a black scarf and a masked face, and I didn't know who he was. ”

"I'm not very satisfied with this answer." Zhanzhao took a sip of tea with a cup.

"And what...... I'm not at the mercy of others, so there's always a way out of our business, right? Bao inquired and explained honestly, "There are my eyeliners everywhere in this state and the market, and I am not alone in inquiring about the news...... My eyeliner helped me keep an eye all the way, and the man in black, after leaving me, went to the Gaosheng Inn in the Prefecture Mansion, and never came out after entering. ”

Zhan Zhao looks at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded to Zhan Zhao and signaled that he knew the inn in the Dao Dao.

"Anything else?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Also...... And also? Bao inquired and looked at Zhanzhao, his eyes were not very sure.

Zhan Zhao held his chin and smiled at him, "Are you quite honest, you are like this, if you bring it back to Kaifeng Mansion, you don't have to be tried, and you will be all recruited as soon as you are shocked, let alone handed over to Zhao Jiajun to serve in a big punishment." ”

Bao inquired about the soul and was about to be scared away, he was nothing more than a little person who was greedy for money and profit, and wanted to be thrown into Zhao Pu's military camp to torture him to extract a confession, good guy - is there still a life?

"Zhan Ye, ......" Bao inquired with a sad face, "What do you want to know?" ”

"If you think you can save your own life, just say it." Zhan Zhao peeled off a pine nut and stuffed it into the mouth of the little fourth son, "You're not helping me to save yourself, offending Yingxue Palace and Trap Island is not good for you, right?" ”

Bao inquired and thought about it, and said, "Uh...... I know that everyone in the gang respects Qianyue very much, saying that he has an upright character, is very capable, and his martial arts are also quite strong! Able to lead the gang out of the predicament, lift the curse, and regain the glory of the past"

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched - the gang still dares to use the words "integrity and integrity" when choosing the boss, do you know what the underworld is for?

"And there's more."

"Uh...... Qianyue and Yu Duchi had a little conflict before, and this time Yu Duchi also came, and they seemed to have a personal grudge. Bao inquired, scratched his ears and cheeks, and thought hard.

Zhan Zhao held his chin and noddedβ€”this seemed to be a bit useful.

"That's right!" Bao inquired and pondered, and thought of another one, "This time there is also a group of people who are not underworld or white, mysterious and secretive, and they are very cautious in entering and leaving." ”

"Where do they live?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"In the locust tree alley in the southwest of the city, the residence is very hidden." Bao inquired, "I don't usually come out much. ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bao inquired with a sad face, "Zhan Ye, I really can't remember, you spare the little one." ”

Zhanzhao tapped lightly on the table.

Bao inquired and obediently wrote three pages.

Zhan Zhao looked at him, stretched out his hand, and took out a silver ingot from Bai Yutang's arms...... Everyone silently bowed their heads and drank tea - so easy.

Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh, today is indeed thanks to Zhanzhao's cleverness, he is also confused, and he didn't pay attention to this...... But then again, even if you are not confused, I don't think I can imagine that there is such a stubble, and in some ways, this cat still has a lot of eyes.

Zhan Zhao put the silver on the table, put Juque on the table, and raised his eyebrows at the bag.

Bao inquired and looked at Zhanzhao.

"Let's make a deal, I won't prevent you from making money at both ends."

Zhan Zhao's words came out, and Bao was stunned.

"The other party gives you money to teach you to do things, and you can collect money, but you have to come and tell us, and then do what we tell us." Zhan Zhao said, "We will give you silver if we let you do something, and you can take this well." ”

Bao inquired about receiving the silver and was overjoyed.

"It's just ......" Zhanzhao told him not to be happy too early, "put aside this matter for the time being, and see if you can make up for it in the future, if you are half-hearted." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Bao inquired and shook his head, "I'm going to mess it up!" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Then I want you to do things for me now, you want to inquire about who is in the alley." In addition, the man in black who entered the Gaosheng Inn, even if he doesn't recognize his appearance when he goes in and out without masking, he always recognizes his figure and posture - you also go to check and roughly estimate who it is.

"Understood, understood." Bao inquired and received the money, escaped the catastrophe and had a deal, made a false alarm, and quickly ran away.

Bao Yan frowned, "Why is this so, repeated villain!" Too cheap for him. ”

Pang Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Alas, forget it, he's just a small person, and sometimes he can only do duplicity to save his life, and he won't be too disciplined for a long time." On the rivers and lakes as in the officialdom, there are mostly people who can't afford to offend, and the officialdom is afraid of losing the black yarn hat, and if the rivers and lakes don't do well, they will lose their lives. Give him a way to live, the rumors he has spread can't be recovered, try to remedy it. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - worthy of being the son of the Grand Master.

I drank tea and ate snacks, and I read the list of detailed writings.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, almost all of the underworld came...... But they are all small sects, and they feel scattered.

"It's no wonder that the underworld feels that someone has robbed him of his luck." Pang Yu also sighed, "The Baidao are all thunderous, even I, who is not a Jianghu person, have heard of it, but there are a hundred small sects in the underworld, and none of them have heard of it, and the scale is also small...... Is this a can't come out of the capable person or what? ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - yes, in the past hundred years, there has not been a famous underworld master.

Leaving Xinghualou, everyone turned into the alley next to them according to the address provided by Lu Xueer.

Sure enough, there were a few interesting shops at the mouth of the alley, and everyone bought a lot of things, and Ziying and Ochre Shadow carried large bags and small bags.

At the second turn, everyone quickly walked to the house with a stone monkey at the door...... Judging from the size of the door, it looks like a side door? There is no plaque on the door, just a snowflake pattern, quite fine, it can be seen that the handiwork is first-class, and the stone monkey at the door is also full of aura.

Xiao Sizi stared at the stone monkey, "There are still stone monkeys guarding the door?" I thought there were only lions and unicorns. ”

Bao Yan had never seen a stone monkey guarding the door, so he was a little puzzled.

Bai Yutang "snapped" three times and knocked on the door knocker.

After a while, I heard footsteps from the yard, and with a "creak", the gate opened, and an old man with white hair stood in the door, looking out.

Bai Yutang arched his hand to him, and before he could speak, the old man was happy, "Oh...... You're Cher's son, aren't you? ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "My mother ordered me to fetch something......

"Oh, it's done." The old man beckoned everyone into the house.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other and entered the door with the old man.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone was startled, and they saw that the courtyard was full of all kinds of stone monkeys, some large and some small, with different forms and vivid shapes, and there were thousands of them by sight.

"Wow, that's a lot of monkeys." Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang were both surprised.

"Ha Luha, my surname is Hou, old man, and I belong to monkeys, and I used to play monkey when I was young, so I like monkeys the most." As he spoke, the old man walked into a hut and took out a mahogany box, about a foot square, not too big, and put it in front of Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao, "That's why the people in the rivers and lakes call the old stone monkey." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were originally staring at the box in a daze, curious about what was inside, but when they heard the words "old stone monkey", they looked up at him in shock.

Bao Yan also asked, "Are you ......?"

"The world's number one stone carving master old stone monkey?" Pang Yu jumped up, "Ah! My father's Eight Immortals crossed the sea Shoushan Stone was carved by you, and I have been queuing for ten years...... It looks like my dad has to look at it every night, and he can't sleep if he doesn't look at it. ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... It turned out to be the little marquis. The old man arched his hand to Pang Yu, "Disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Bai Yutang was a little curious, "Senior, what is in this box that my mother asked me to take?" ”

"Oh, your mother has known me since she was a child, she was skinny when she was a child, she is simply a little devil, I know your grandfather well." The old man made tea for everyone, and took out a drawing to show Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang took it and saw that this drawing was some years old, and the jade carving patterns of the twelve zodiac signs were drawn in it.

"I've seen this picture before." Bai Yutang remembered, "This set of jade is my family heirloom, but it was crushed by the fallen beams during an earthquake. ”

"yes." The old man stretched out his hand, gently opened the lid of the box, and said with a smile, "When Xue'er brought it to me, it was just a pile of broken jade slag...... It took me several years to put it back together. ”

Bai Yutang reached out and took one out, and shone it at the light - it was crystal clear, and there was no crack at all.

"Wow!" Pang Yu was taken aback, "Old man, are you bluffing?" Can broken jade be restored? ”

The old man touched his beard and smiled quite proudly, "Old man, I naturally have a way." ”

Bai Yutang carefully put the jade carving back, covered the lid, and said to Zhan Zhao, "This set of stone jade dolls is said to have been carved by my grandfather himself, when I was a child, my father was one year old, he carved one, his hands were very strong but carved very carefully, a few years ago the earthquake smashed it, and my father was unhappy for a while. ”

Zhan Zhao and the others all nodded - Lu Xue'er's gift was really intimate.

"Your mother sent it to me when the jade was just crumbled." The old man smiled, "Because I said that not a single grain of jade slag can be missing, so she dug up a few carts of soil and filtered it little by little with gauze, and all the debris was there." ”

Bai Yutang thanked the old man, paid double the salary, wrapped the box in a piece of silk, and everyone returned to the Snow Palace together.

Zhan Zhao was relieved to see that Bai Yutang seemed to have forgotten the unhappy thing just nowβ€”however, according to the clues provided by Bao Inquire...... In this century-old season, it is inevitable that there will be a bloody storm, open and secret fighting.
