Chapter 383: Estrangement
That night, Lu Xue'er and Yin Lanci went to find Lin Yehuo, and the other went to Zou Liang, ready to enlighten the two children.
It's a pity that the two of them went to work for less than a stick of incense and had no choice but to come back.
Zhan Zhao and the others were waiting in the courtyard.
Yin Lanci spread her hands, "Lin Yehuo didn't say anything, oops, children are so lonely now." β
Lu Xue'er also spread her hands, "Zou Liang is hard to say, hey, I have no tricks to deal with this kind of introverted child." β
Everyone stared at each other blanklyβwhat was going on?
Tianzun found Master Shuqing and Wusha.
Su Qing said that he didn't know, and Su Qing had been with Lin Yehuo for so long, and he did find that he lacked ties in terms of feelings, but there was no rule that said that he didn't talk about feelings or anything like that. And Shu Qing seemed to want to clarify for Lin Yehuo, "Although the hall master usually looks a little unreliable, he is not a stingy person, and it can be seen that he is quite close to Zou Liang." He is the most righteous, as long as his friends are not treacherous, it is impossible to turn against each other. In addition, he does not have this attitude towards the enemy, and seems to have hidden feelings. β
Zhao Pu also shook his head, "Zou Liang's biggest advantage is loyalty, loyalty to friends and righteousness, it is impossible to be treacherous. β
Bai Yutang, as a person who was very familiar with Lin Yehuo, also interjected, "Blind people can see that Lin Yehuo definitely doesn't hate Zou Liang." β
Xiao Liangzi also nodded in agreement, "If the turkey doesn't mess with others, it will mess with Zou Liang." β
The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, "Fools can see that Zou Liang likes the night fire." β
The shadow guards all noddedβthe heavens are proof! It seems that the only human being Zou Liang is interested in is Lin Yehuo......
Everyone had no choice but to look at Master Wusha suspiciously.
The great monk Wusha touched the beard on his chin and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Bai Yutang saw that there was something wrong, so he asked, "Master, what's wrong?" β
"Uh......" Wusha thought for a while and said, "During this time, you help me watch the two of them, and I will go back to the Western Regions after the New Year, and there are some things to check." β
Everyone was puzzled.
But Master Wusha didn't say much, stood up, and said to Zhao Pu on the side, "Lord Wang, can you take a step to speak?" β
Zhao Pu was slightly stunned, stood up, and followed Master Wusha to the side.
Everyone was very curious, but it was not easy to listen, they just felt - could it be as simple as an emotional problem? It is true that Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo are not childish people who will be angry for some emotional problems.
Zhao Pu stood outside the courtyard and talked with Master Wusha for a while, and Zhao Pu's expression gradually became serious from being more relaxed at the beginning to the most lush.
After that, Master Wusha left.
Zhao Pu stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, turned around and left, but did not enter the courtyard.
Bai Yutang also stood up, "Let's wait until they find out." β
Zhan Zhao also nodded.
"I want to go to Lelin County tomorrow, which of you is interested?" Zhan Zhao changed the subject.
Gongsun originally wanted to go, but he was a little difficult, "I made an appointment with someone from the Yaksha Palace tomorrow, and I shouldn't be able to leave." β
"Oh, yes!" Zhan Zhao also remembered, "Sir, do you really have a way to cure the people of the Yaksha Palace?" β
Gongsun nodded, "It should be about the same, I have all the medicinal materials in my hands, this time I will prescribe prescriptions one by one, diagnose their diseases before the year, prescribe prescriptions for them, they will be treated well after the New Year, I hope they can be cured in a year and a half, even if this generation cannot be cured, at least it will not be passed on to the next generation!" β
Zhanzhao was really glad that he met Gongsun in Sword and Axe Town that day, and brought him closer to Kaifeng Mansion, no wonder the Silver Demon King wanted to make the little fourth son the adopted son of Gongsun, there is such a father who keeps treating diseases and saving people all day long, it is difficult for the little fourth son to be blessed......
"The people of the Demon Palace, haven't you heard rumors related to the loss of scholars?" Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao thought about it, shook his head, the two of them went out for a walk, and after being caught by the old devils along the way and stuffing red envelopes, they inquired, but no one had heard of it.
On the third floor, the two met Bao Yan and Pang Yu.
There is a big mansion on the third floor, which stores all kinds of books, many of which are out-of-print ancient books, after Bao Yan discovered this place before, he set up a home in the courtyard, reading all kinds of books every day, and he was in a happy mood. Pang Yu and Cai Jinbao, the old god of wealth, chatted very closely, and were studying what jade pendant was on the side.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went in and sat down for a while, and asked about the disappearance of the scholar.
Old Man Cai suddenly raised his head and asked, "The scholar is missing...... When did it happen? β
"Lose one a year." Zhan Zhao replied.
The old man touched his chin, "Oh...... So, is that kid too? β
"Which boy?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.
"Oh......" said the old man, "about two years ago, I hired some scholars to help repair a number of ancient books, among which I remember a scholar who wrote very well, named Qiu Yi. I rented them a large house, and a total of six scholars were to fill up the books. It's not difficult, it's just that there are wormholes and paste them on rice paper, and the words are complete. After three days of work, Qiu Yi suddenly stopped coming, and I found that I had lost a few valuable ancient books. β
Zhan Zhao frowned, "If he stole it, then this method is a bit stupid...... Didn't you guess that he did it? β
"I sent someone to look for him at the time, and he lived with his parents, who said he never came home." Old Man Cai touched his beard, shook his head and said, "His family background is not bad, he will not steal books, and his father and mother, including the neighbors, say that he has an honest character, and it is impossible to do something like stealing chickens and dogs." Later, the scholar still didn't seem to be found, and the family reported to the official, and the yamen sent a lot of people to look for it, but they still didn't find it. So everybody thought he might have stumbled and drowned or something...... The last thing is gone. β
"Are those ancient books valuable?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Old Man Cai shook his head, "Books are such things, let's see what they are, they won't be worth a lot of money...... Those scholars come to repair books, in fact, they are also for reading, if you really like it, it's a big deal to copy a copy and go, Qiu Yi mentioned to me before, there are a few books he likes very much, and he wants to copy a few manuscripts, I agree. β
"So he really has no reason to steal books." Bai Yutang asked, "What about the other scholars?" β
Old Man Cai spread his hands, "After the incident with Qiuyi, the others will not do it...... Those books were made up by the people in the Demon Palace. β
"Give me a list of the lost books, and do you have the names and addresses of the other five scholars?" Zhan Zhao leaned over and asked.
Pang Yu touched his chin, "Oh...... Do you suspect that someone from the other five scholars stole the book and blamed Qiu Yi? β
Bao Yan also raised his head from the pile of books, obviously he heard the conversation just now, "Since that person dares to blame Qiu Yi, it means that he may know that Qiu Yi is missing, so he found the scholar who stole the book, and it is estimated that he can find clues." β
Zhan Zhao nodded.
"I've got a record there." Cai Jinbao is worthy of being the God of Wealth, of course, he must be able to keep accounts if he can make money, and he can calculate every one clearly, so who he has hired and how much money he has paid, all of which are clearly recorded.
Zhan Zhao got the list and book list, and came out with Bai Yutang.
When I was going up the mountain, I was running into Ouyang Shaozheng, talking to two soldiers.
Ouyang seems to have found a few homes from among the soldiers that were closer to this place, and gave them a few handwritten letters from Zhao Pu. He asked the soldiers to hurry north, and they would almost arrive home in two days, and after the New Year, they would hurry again to go to an inn in Mobei Black Wind City, Kaifeng Mansion and a county seat in the Western Regions, and hand over the letter to He Yihang, an official of Kaifeng Mansion, and the proprietress of the Western Regions Inn.
The soldiers took the letter, took the red envelopes given to them by Ouyang, packed the salute happily, and went back to their hometown for the New Year.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - was it because of Zou Liang and Lin's night fire?
As the two of them walked up the mountain, they saw many people walking along the way, all of them were the servants and maids of the Demon Palace, one or two of them holding herbs and running up the mountain.
"It's Gongsun preparing medicinal herbs, right?" Zhan Zhao said while asking Bai Yutang, "Seriously, I've seen a lot of kidnappers, abducting women and children is more common, no matter how kidnapping is, find some rich people, why do you want to arrest scholars?" Or are they all from Lelin County? What are the scholars going to do when they are arrested? Copying books? β
Bai Yutang smiled, "Why don't we go and borrow two sets of clothes from Gongsun and dress up as a scholar to go shopping in the county seat?" Anyway, it's almost the New Year. Maybe the short-eyed murderer will come and kidnap the two of us? β
Zhan Zhao touched his chin - this method is also feasible!
The two ran to Gongsun's courtyard, and saw that Gongsun was busy dispensing medicine, Ochre Ying and others took a group of shadow guards to help, and Zhao Pu squinted his eyes and squatted aside.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked over and asked Zhao Pu, "What are you doing?" β
The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, "That nerd actually doubts my ability!" β
On the side, Xiao Liangzi, who was drinking tea with a small teacup, said slowly, "That's ...... If you divide the wrong medicine, it will be a big matter, and if someone takes the wrong medicine, it will be a big matter! β
Bai Yutang looked at Xiao Liangzi, and saw that he was sitting on a high-backed chair, with a straight back, a cup between the back of the chair, his legs together, a small cup between his two knees, his feet were also together, a cup was also sandwiched between his feet, his neck was straight, and a small cup was placed on his head, plus a cup in his hand, he was drinking tea very "dignified".
Zhanzhao couldn't cry or laugh, "Little Liangzi, what are you doing?" What kind of kung fu is this? β
Xiao Liangzi opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, when he heard Bai Yutang say, "Practice sitting." β
Zhan Zhao blinked.
Xiao Liangzi flattened his mouth.
On the side, Xiao Sizi ran over with a small teapot, added some tea to Xiao Liangzi, and said, "Just now, Xiao Liangzi ran to ask Zunzun, how can he grow up to be as handsome and chic as Bai Bai......"
Zhao Pu squinted at Xiao Liang, "Aren't you determined to be a big hero?" β
Xiao Liangzi raised his eyebrows, "Then whether it is a big hero or a big hooligan, you can also be handsome and chic, I guess I can be a little more handsome than you when I grow up......"
As soon as Xiao Liangzi finished speaking, Zhao Pu reached out and broke the leg of his chair...... The four-legged chair that Xiao Liang was sitting on instantly turned into a three-legged one.
Xiao Liangzi hurriedly mentioned the internal force - steady!
Zhao Pu smiled evilly.
Xiao Sizi went over and snatched back the stool leg and erected it for Xiao Liangzi, and Xiao Liangzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang curiously, "Why do you practice sitting posture like this?" β
The corners of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched, "I practiced like this when I was a child. β
Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Didn't Aunt say that when you were a child, Tianzun spoiled you?" β
Bai Yutang looked at the sky.
At this time, I heard someone behind me say quietly, "It's one thing to pet, it's another thing to be demanding." β
Zhan Zhao turned around, and saw Tianzun smiling, "If it weren't for me, he would have the country and the city he is today...... Ah. β
Before Tianzun finished speaking, Bai Yutang grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs and slapped him in the face.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, no wonder Bai Yutang stood and sat and lay down with a son-like style, his gestures were chic and generous, and he was polite and paid attention to etiquette...... It turns out that Tianzun is like this.
"Poof...... Burst. Tianzun took the teapot in the little fourth son's hand to rinse his mouth, and asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Where are you two going to play tomorrow?" Gongsun said that you two will go out tomorrow, take me with you. β
"We pretended to be scholars and went to Lelin County to investigate the case, will you go?" Zhanzhao asked him with a smile.
"Go! This is interesting! "Tianzun is quite interested.
Bai Yutang looked at him and asked, "You don't stay on the mountain?" Two days ago, you said you didn't want to go out. β
Tianzun muttered, "Tomorrow the old yaksha is coming, and I won't see the magic stick." After saying that, he ran to borrow clothes from Gongsun.
Gongsun was very busy, and asked the little fourth son to take Tianzun and them in to find it by himself, so the little fourth son took Tianzun in to rummage through the closet.
Zhan Zhao was a little curious and asked Bai Yutang, "Did Tianzun and the Yaksha King have a holiday?" Long Miaomiao was very afraid of his appearance last time. β
Bai Yutang shook his head, "I only heard Master say that Long Jiu Lian is a divine stick or something, and I haven't heard him talk about anything else." β
While speaking, Tianzun picked two pieces and handed them to Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, and took one for himself.
Gongsun's clothes are acceptable to everyone, most of them are elegant, elegant, and tasteful.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went back early to rest, and they had to get up early tomorrow.
When I walked back to the yard, I saw Lin Yehuo sitting on the railing next to the fence not far away, lying on the railing with his hands, as if he was looking into the distance in a daze.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked in the direction he was looking at, and saw that what Lin Yehuo was looking at was the direction of Zou Liang's military camp. The lights in the tent were still on, and Zou Liang obviously hadn't slept yet.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and motioned for Zhan Zhao to go in first.
Zhan Zhao nodded and went to the courtyard, and saw Bai Yutang walking to the railing.
Zhan Zhao hugged his arms, thinking that maybe Bai Yutang could really ask something, and the two of them were basically old friends.
Bai Yutang walked to the railing.
Lin Yehuo didn't move, and continued to be in a daze.
Bai Yutang stood for a while and asked, "You two are long-lost brothers?" β
Zhan Zhao listened in the courtyard, and the corners of his mouth twitchedβwhat?
Lin Yehuo silently turned his head, raised his face, looked at Bai Yutang, and the eyes that came over were obviously - sick! What's dirty for dinner?
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows again, "Does he have a wife and children?" β
Lin Yehuo continued to look at Bai Yutang like an idiot.
Bai Yutang then asked, "Is he a woman?" Then marry it, or if you're a woman, just marry ......"
Zhanzhao couldn't cry or laugh, Bai Yutang was playing poor?
Lin Yehuo picked up an empty wine jar next to him and smashed it over.
Bai Yutang took the wine jar and put it aside, sat on the railing and looked at him, "I really can't think of any problems with the two of you, could it be that he is your enemy who killed his father?" Or are you his father's enemy? β
Bai Yutang just teased in passing, but who knew that Lu Daolin Yehuo suddenly frowned slightly, and his expression became more serious.
Zhan Zhao looked behind him, and he also felt that Lin Yehuo seemed to shake.
Bai Yutang was stunned, looked at Lin Yehuo for a while, frowned and asked, "Really?" β
Lin Yehuo was silent for a moment, stood up, and sighed, "I'm going back to the Fire Phoenix Hall after the New Year." β
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Bai Yutang was slightly shocked, even if it wasn't the revenge of killing his father, it was estimated that there was something between Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang that had not been discovered before, because something happened in the forest was triggered, so it was incompatible...... It's probably a grudge, don't make a feud or something, right? That's bloody......
Zhan Zhao ran out and asked Bai Yutang, "What do you think?" β
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "In the dragon pattern scroll, is there a case in the Western Regions?" β
Zhanzhao frowned, "There should be those within the Song Realm in the border area, but not necessarily outside the Song Dynasty, isn't Zou Liang raised by wolves with an unknown background?" Or is everyone laughing all the time? β
Bai Yutang thought for a moment, "In the library of the Demon Palace, are there any books from the Western Regions Ghost Domain?" β
Zhan Zhao thought about it, and suddenly snapped his fingers, "Stupid, we can go and ask Old Man Feng!" β
When Bai Yutang heard this, he was helpless, how could he forget this stubble, what is there to do in the rivers and lakes, can you ask the omniscient wind and wind!
The author has something to say: The Demon Palace is all fragmented small cases, and the scholar case is the last one, after Gongsun treats everyone in the Yaksha Palace, the patrol team will be transferred to the Fire Phoenix Hall in the Western Regions.
The matter between Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang will involve a case, and then everyone will investigate the case~~
The next case will involve Black Wind City + Ghost Domain Fire Phoenix Hall + Wolf King Castle, as well as the mysterious ghost sea that has no entry or exit, and also involves the last soul suppression bottle. It can be said that the Demon Temple is a scattered foreshadowing. There are a lot of trivial things for the New Year, so there is no daily change, and this month is basically not busy, so try to change every day.
