Chapter 352: Heavenly Omen
In the blink of an eye, the day of the Camellia Festival has arrived.
Zhan Zhao and others, as "young people", should be more energetic, so everyone decided to go to the street market in Tianfu to join in the fun.
Although it is to join in the fun, it is actually to investigate the case.
Speaking of which, everyone has been quite slumped these days...... There was no progress in the case, and there were few leads.
The real culprit behind this case is very hidden, and it can be said that he is the most cautious and cautious of all the cases investigated by everyone.
However, what puzzles everyone the most is the real purpose of this murderer. What is it for, there is always a reason for murder, either to seek wealth or to seek revenge, so far, the murderer is just blaming Xiao Changqing, no matter how you look at it, it is just Xiao Changqing's enemy.
But as the saying goes, what kind of character and what kind of enemy, the stronger the enemy, the stronger the person to deal with. Xiao Changqing is just a small character, will there be such a big opponent?
In addition, the previous case of Evil Feather was also hastily ended, although there are many doubts, but there is still no clue so far. Are the two cases at hand related? If there is a connection, then it will not be as simple as Xiao Changqing.
Everyone was full of doubts and rushed to Yingtianfu together.
Compared with the adults who want to investigate the case, the two children, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang, are much more carefree.
The little fourth son sat in front of Zhao Pu, touching the black owl's neck, and chatting with Zhao Pu with his face up.
Gongsun sat in the carriage, leaning his chin against the window, looking at Zhao Pu and Xiao Sizi in a daze.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were walking side by side, and when they saw the little fourth son at a glance, they suddenly thought of ...... It seems that I haven't used the special ability of Xiao Sizi for a long time.
So, Zhanzhao patted Zao Duoduo's ass and came to the black owl's side.
"Little fourth, come up to me to play for a while." Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and motioned for the little fourth son to come over.
The little fourth son naturally rubbed past Zhao Pu's horse, Zhan Zhao caught it, put it in front of his own horse, and asked him to sit down.
Zhao Pu patted the black owl.
The black owl slowed down a little, just as Gongsun's carriage came up, Zhao Pu patted the window of the car, "Nerd, come up and run a few steps?" ”
Gongsun looked at the black owl and then at Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu beckoned to him, "Come on, it's so boring to always squat in the carriage!" ”
Gongsun hesitated, and the black owl snorted, as if he was also calling Gongsun out.
So, Gongsun went out to make up, Zhao Pu scooped it up, fished out Gongsun and put it in front of him, and after wrapping his hands around it, he shook the reins of the horse, and the black owl spread his four hooves and galloped forward.
The black owl ran away, and many other horses followed suit, and the speed of the team was noticeably faster.
Behind, Taishi Pang dangled his hat in the carriage, and shook his head at Bao Zheng, "Heizi, the old man will run around with you a few more times, and this life will have to be given to you." ”
"You have to run around a few more times, and if your stomach is gone, that's the truth!" Master Bao sat down at the other end, leaned closer to Pang Ji, and whispered, "Hey, I said." ”
Pang Ji raised his eyes to look at Bao Zheng.
"Liu Tian's stall was so big back then, there is no reason why there is no one in the court, right?" Master Bao asked, "Does he still have a big fish behind him?" ”
Taishi smiled faintly, "What do you think?" ”
Master Bao looked at Pang Ji, "You didn't count it in your heart?" ”
Taishi looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "I won't tell you the sunspot, I also thought that there should be someone behind it back then, usually local officials can be greedy like this, but the court has never been able to receive the wind, most of them have a big worm in the court!" But it's a pity. As he spoke, the Taishi spread his hands, "After the death of the first emperor, the case is over." When the emperor ascended the throne, more than half of the old ministers who leaned towards the government and the opposition in the early years were disarmed and returned to the field to enjoy the blessings, and they couldn't find out. ”
Master Bao frowned, "You found the Evil Feather Token in Liu Tian's house, so if there is really someone behind Liu Tian, then that person may know a lot about Evil Feather." ”
Taishi touched his chin and looked at Bao Zheng, "Heizi, what do you want to say?" ”
Bao Dadao, "Do you remember that in the first imperial dynasty, there was an old minister surnamed Shan?" ”
Pang Ji was slightly stunned and frowned, "You said that the original military department Shangshu Shan Qiu?" ”
Master Bao smiled, "As far as I know, Shan Qiu is from Wuxi, and he is not far from here. In addition, after the death of the first emperor, Shan Qiu suddenly resigned at a young age. ”
Taishi thought for a while, "When the emperor died, the emperor was still too young, and the ministers in the palace were basically divided into two factions, one faction advocated letting the eighth prince succeed to the throne, and the other half wanted the emperor to be in charge of the young people...... Later, after the emperor took office, those who originally wanted to support the eight kings as emperors were afraid of being liquidated, so they resigned one after another...... Speaking of which, it was indeed a pity that Shan Qiu was in his forties, and he was very promising when he was in his forties, and he was indeed very, very capable. I really didn't expect him to protect the eighth king, in fact, the eighth prince himself didn't want to be the emperor, which can be seen by anyone with a little brain. Shan Qiu is a smart person, there is no reason to stand on the wrong side...... Now that I think about it, it seems that I am looking for a good reason for my disarmament and return to the field.
"The emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Master Bao sneered, "After he was in power back then, the few remaining courtiers of the previous dynasty who relied on the old and sold the old, especially the powerful and not very clean, let him find out, and the stolen money was used by the Nine Princes to fight the war as military salaries." Now calculated, those who were disarmed and returned to the field back then ran away without a trace, and since then they have been low-key people, but they have escaped. ”
"So......" Pang Ji looked at Bao Zheng, "You doubt, what does Shan Yiren have to do with Shan Qiu?" ”
Master Bao smiled, "Didn't you think it was strange before, that young man will be about the same age as Shan Yiren next year, why did he ask to see Master Shan, and the old housekeeper was also talking about the master." ”
"Oh......" Taishi raised his eyebrows, "This single master may not be his single master!" If Shan Yiren is a young master, and there is an old man surnamed Shan in the family, it makes sense! ”
Master Bao nodded.
"Kuroko, you are so suspicious, do you have any evidence? Are you sure? Ponji asked.
Master Bao sighed, "There is no evidence, and I am not sure, just speculation." I served in the Third Division for a period of time, and I was very impressed by that Shan Qiu...... I always thought that he was a scheming person with a deep sense of the city, so I was very puzzled that he suddenly destroyed his future back then. ”
Taishi touched his beard and pondered about this, and nodded, "Quite suspicious!" ”
Later, Taishi and Master Bao chatted deeply, and in front, Zhanzhao held the face of the little fourth son and looked down at him, "Little fourth son, help me think about it, will there be clues this time?" ”
Xiao Sizi leaned on Zhanzhao's chest, looked up at him with a smile on his face, "What do you think?" ”
"For example......" Zhanzhao took out a copper plate and gave it to the little fourth son, "If you can find clues this time, you will be on the front, and if you can't find clues, you will be negative!" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Sizi took the copper plate, thought about it, and then threw it into the air.
Zhanzhao stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it, "Front." ”
Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi glanced at each other - yes?!
The little fourth son took the small copper plate, twisted a small pimple between his eyebrows, and looked at Zhanzhao's side, who was riding on a horse and looking at Bai Yutang, who was making trouble with them.
Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi looked at each other, and inexplicably felt that there was a layer of worry in Xiao Sizi's eyes, and he was puzzled, so he asked him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Sizi scratched his head, "Hmm......"
Zhan Zhao came to the spirit, "Finally, there is a clue?" ”
I was about to ask again, but I saw Xiao Sizi holding the copper plate and said, "That, that time just now doesn't count, let's do it again!" ”
Zhan Zhao looked at the little fourth son with some puzzlement, "Don't count?" ”
Xiao Sizi pressed the copper plate with both hands, as if he had thought about it carefully, and then raised his hand and threw it......
With this throw, the strength was used a little more, and the copper plate flew out of the coffin, and flew right towards Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang reached out and caught it, and handed it to the little fourth son.
Xiao Sizi took it and took a look, stared at the copper plate and was stunned, and saw that the copper plate was the opposite.
Zhan Zhao was a little curious about the copper plate, and asked the little fourth son, "Is it a positive face and a negative face?" Is that yes or no? ”
Xiao Sizi stared at the copper plate in a daze for a long time, and then raised his face to look at Zhanzhao, "There is also an inaccurate time!" ”
Zhanzhao poked his nose, "When are you not allowed?" ”
"Not allowed!" Xiao Sizi suddenly shouted.
Everyone was stunned and looked at the little fourth son.
Zhan Zhao was also a little surprised-is the little fourth son angry or what's wrong?
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other.
Zhan Zhao gently poked the cheeks of the little fourth son, "Little fourth son? Angry? ”
The little fourth son seemed to have come back to his senses, looking entangled and hesitant.
Zhan Zhao saw that he suddenly became weird, and some regrets made him think...... I was happy when I went out.
After walking all the way, the little fourth son has been sullen and in a daze, Zhanzhao coaxed and coaxed, the little guy didn't seem to be unhappy, but kept wandering. But when I asked him specifically, he didn't say anything, and Zhanzhao's heart was also hanging, what's wrong.
Soon, everyone's chariots and horses arrived at Yingtianfu.
At this time, the city was already crowded with people, and everyone first followed Yi Xian to the yamen to make a slight adjustment. After that, I decided to go out and join in the fun.
Master Bao asked everyone to pay attention to whether there was an old man in his sixties and close to seventy years old in Shan Yiren's mansion, and everyone also planned to take advantage of the chaos and find an opportunity to sneak into Shan Mansion to take a look.
Everyone was ready to go out separately, each going in a different direction.
It's just that......
Before Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left the courtyard, Bai Yutang felt that something was hanging on the back of his clothes, and looked back......
I saw the little fourth son tugging at the back of his clothes.
Bai Yutang was a little puzzled.
Zhao Pu and Gongsun were also about to go out, and when they saw the little fourth son dragging Bai Yutang, they thought that he was going to stick to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to play together, so Gongsun came up and hugged him, "Little fourth son, you can be with me and Zhao Pu." ”
The little fourth son grabbed the hem of Bai Yutang's clothes and didn't let go.
Everyone looked at him in bewilderment.
Zhan Zhao felt that the little fourth son looked different, so he asked, "What's the matter, little fourth son?" ”
The little fourth son hesitated.
Zhao Pu lifted him up, hugged him and asked him, "What's wrong with you?" Let's hear it. ”
The little fourth son subconsciously glanced at Bai Yutang again.
Everyone also looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang was a little inexplicable.
At this time, Yin Hou on the side suddenly asked the little fourth son, "Did you see anything?" ”
Everyone was stunned.
Xiao Sizi nodded and pinched his fingers.
"Don't ask him." At this time, Tianzun whispered.
Everyone looked at Tianzun with some puzzlement.
Tianzun touched the head of the little fourth son, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "It's the same, what should you do." ”
The fourth son still wanted to catch Bai Yutang, but he was taken away by Gongsun.
Everyone was puzzled, and walked to the courtyard outside, Zhanzhao hurriedly asked Yin Hou and Tianzun, "What's the matter?" The little fourth son didn't let Yutang go out, was there any danger to him? ”
Yin Hou and Tianzun frowned.
"Why don't you ask?" Lin Yehuo was also a little puzzled.
Gongsun and Zhao Pu were still holding their little fourth son in the courtyard, looking at the people outside.
The fourth son was still sullen, and Gongsun asked Zhao Pu to listen.
Zhao Pu ran outside and listened to Yin Hou, "Something happened two days ago, you may not have seen it." ”
Everyone was even more curious, "What's the matter?" ”
"That day, Xi'er walked forward with the freshly washed clothes, and the little fourth son suddenly shouted, 'Be careful'" Tianzun said, "Xi'er was startled, so she fell and fought. ”
The crowd was amazed.
Xi'er jumped up and said that the little fourth son was naughty and deliberately scared her. Yin Hou continued, "But afterwards, the fourth son told me that when he saw Xi'er walking forward with a wooden basin, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he saw a scene of Xi'er falling to the ground, so he shouted to be careful. Unexpectedly, he shouted, but Xi'er fell down. ”
Everyone frowned, "This is ......"
"He's still young, and he doesn't know what he's capable of." Tianzun sat down to the side and said, "Don't say he's so old, the Demon King has lived for so long, and he doesn't have the ability to fully control his own ability, which is why he hates his so-called 'good luck' so much." ”
Lin Yehuo didn't understand, "Isn't it good to be able to predict the future?" The little fourth son helped us avoid a lot of disasters. ”
"But there are some disasters that cannot be avoided." Tianzun said, "It's like talking about Xi'er's wrestling, and the little fourth son suddenly saw it, which means that it will happen in the future." So he was faced with two choices, one was to speak out, maybe it could be avoided. The other is to speak out, but to contribute. Saying that it is possible to become a reality, and if you don't say it, it is also possible to come true, so that the fate of others becomes a burden for him. Sometimes we know that it will happen, but we can't do anything about it, and this is the most painful thing. He's still just a child, not to mention how terrible things are, just a few times in a row like Xi'er's wrestling, he will hate his own ability. ”
Everyone frowned.
Zhao Pu turned his head and looked into the courtyard, sitting on Gongsun's lap, looking at the little fourth son outside stupidly.
Zhao Pu lowered his voice and asked Tianzun and Yin Hou, "That...... What did he just see? It seems to be very serious, is he afraid that if he says it, it will come true, so he doesn't dare to say it. But not to mention, he is afraid that we will not know the way and do not take precautions? ”
Everyone nodded, thinking that this was probably the case, and then looked at Bai Yutang together, which means - obviously, this matter has something to do with you.
Bai Yutang also understood, "It was probably because he suddenly saw something when he threw the copper plate just now, so he glanced at me at that time." ”
"No wonder I'm not happy after that." Zhan Zhao also touched his chin.
"Just be extra careful." Bai Yutang didn't feel the need to be too nervous.
Zhan Zhao thought about it, walked back to the courtyard, stretched out his hand to pick up the little fourth son and walked to a place where there was no one.
Xiao Sizi looked at it, and the others didn't follow.
Zhan Zhao said, "Little fourth son, tell me, I'll think for you!" ”
Xiao Sizi blinked.
"Does it have anything to do with Bai Yutang?" Zhan Zhao asked.
The little fourth son nodded.
"You tell me that I don't tell him, so that even if something happens, I'll be more prepared." Zhan Zhao Road.
Xiao Sizi nodded, leaned over, covered Zhanzhao's ears and said a word.
After listening to this, Zhan Zhao looked at the little fourth son.
After a long time, Zhanzhao suddenly asked the little fourth son, "Little fourth son, have you been allowed to do it before?" ”
Xiao Sizi hesitated for a moment, and continued to pinch his fingers and bow his head, also very worried.
Zhan Zhao sighed, and then patted Xiao Sizi's stomach, "Don't worry, let's not allow it this time!" ”
Xiao Sizi nodded, stretched out his little thumb to look at Zhanzhao, "It must be!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhan Zhao also nodded, stretched out his finger and hooked with him
Returning the fourth son to his grandson, Zhanzhao walked out.
So, everyone went out together. Because of this change, everyone who originally planned to go separately chose to go together this time, and they still had a look for each other.
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao, Zhanzhao didn't speak, so the fifth master didn't ask, although he still had doubts in his heart.
Tianzun and Yin Hou walked behind the most.
Yin Hou suddenly looked ahead, Zhanzhao's eyes had hardly left Bai Yutang, and the others had also become a little vigilant, he suddenly smiled, "This meeting is familiar. “
Tianzun frowned, "Don't curse my family Yutang, he is not the same as you at that time." ”
Yin Hou smiled, "You should expect him to be like me, a little harder, maybe he can escape the catastrophe......"
Tianzun squinted at him, "Crow's mouth!" Knock on the wood! ”
Yin Hou's eyes were a little colder, "You also know that the demon king said in the past that the scene that the silver fox saw in an instant was called Tianzhao, and to put it bluntly, it was destined to be heavenly, even if the sky collapsed, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, it would definitely happen." ”
Tianzun's face was ugly, but he could only sigh.
Zhan Zhao walked next to Bai Yutang, his mind had never been so concentrated, he had long forgotten about what he was going to investigate, or whether he could find clues or not.
What did the little fourth son see? Zhan Zhao subconsciously looked at Bai Yutang beside him again - Xiao Sizi said that he saw Bai Yutang lying in a pool of blood, and there was a sleeve arrow stuck in his heart.
