The next morning, Zhanzhao woke up and saw the handsome face of Bai Yutang beside the bed.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his eyes, and his vision was clear...... I saw that Bai Yutang was already fully dressed, just leaning on the pillow, holding his chin, staring at him, with a bag of sugar in his hand.

Zhan Zhao blinked and asked, "What are you doing?"

Bai Yutang smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked a strand of hair on the side of Zhanzhao's cheek, and whispered, "You should say, Yutang, morning." ”

Zhan Zhao shuddered, and Bai Yutang's tone of voice was obviously too much sugar.

Zhan Zhao wanted to hide the bag of sugar, but Bai Yutang hurriedly put it into his arms, "Mine." ”

Zhan Zhao was speechless, dignified and white, as if he was carrying a bag of candy baby.

Outside, the voices gradually became noisy, and it seemed that everyone was awake.

Zhanzhao sat up and stretched - refreshed.

Bai Yutang leaned on the pillow and looked at the cat in front of him...... All the people who know martial arts say that Zhanzhao has a clear bones and is suitable for practicing martial arts, especially if he has talent for practicing light martial arts, it is indeed ......

Bai Yutang looked at the wrists and forearms that were exposed when Zhan Zhao stretched his waist, and continued to wander, this cat is even good-looking.

Zhan Zhao stretched his waist and turned around, and saw Bai Yutang leaning on the pillow...... The world says that Bai Yutang is a rare beautiful man in the world, indeed......

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang casually leaning on it, holding his wrist and forearm on his head, and began to wander, this rat is even good-looking.

……

The two were looking at each other, and someone knocked on the door three times outside, and then the door was pushed open with a "creak", and the little four probes came in, "The cat is in vain." ”

Behind the little fourth son, Zhao Pu is also there, look inside, okay...... The two looked attracted to each other's hues...... It's early in the morning, isn't it at the right time?

The little fourth son didn't understand this, he came on a mission, and when he saw that the two of them had already gotten up, he ran in.

Before he got to the bed, he was tripped by Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu's tail rolled, dragged Xiao Sizi to his side, hugged and rubbed his head.

Xiao Sizi was rubbed by Xiao Wu, and said, "Daddy asked me to ask if you are free." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded together, "I'm free." ”

Zhan Zhao asked, "Did Gongsun find something?" ”

Zhao Pu also walked in and said, "That nerd stayed up all night last night, and the dark circles under his eyes this morning are more obvious than those of the bamboo bear, and he said that he wanted more than a dozen masters with good skills." ”

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Pu stretched out his hands, "He seems to be too tired to talk more." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly freshened up and followed Zhao Pu and Xiao Sizi out.

In the courtyard, Tianzun waited for all of them, plus Zhanzhao, Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu, there should be enough for more than a dozen masters, and these are not ordinary masters, but masters among masters.

At the dinner table, Yin Lanci took a bowl of ginseng and cordyceps chicken soup and poured it into her grandson, and said while pouring, "Oh, don't boil it like this because you're young." ”

Lu Xue'er on the side also nodded, "I don't sleep for ten days without sleeping, you see you are so thin!" ”

Mrs. Bao sat beside everyone, and looked at a thick stack of paper with Zhuge Lu Yi, which was full of words and drawings, looking at the handwriting, it should have been written by Gongsun.

Lord Bao sat silently on the side to accept the complaints of the three mothers, and he was helpless, he had to tell Gongsun to go to bed early almost every day and not stay up late, but often when he got up the next day, Gongsun had just finished his work, and Lord Bao was also worried about his body.

The Taishi on the side said cool words, "I said Lao Bao, you Kaifeng Mansion buys people's lives...... Hiss. ”

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Bao stepped on him under the table.

Zhao Pu walked into the courtyard and looked at Gongsun, who saw him looking at him, gave him a blank look, and then twisted his face.

Zhao Pu sat on the side in a daze, holding a cup and not speaking, just drinking tea.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and inexplicably felt that Zhao Pu and Gongsun didn't seem to have the right atmosphere.

Zhan Zhao quietly dragged the little fourth son aside and asked, "What's wrong with your father and Zhao Pu?" ”

Xiao Sizi flattened his mouth and said, "Last night, Jiujiu and I obviously took my father back to the house to sleep, and my father asked me to sleep first, and he turned a few pages of books at the table, and then I fell asleep." When I woke up this morning, I found that half of my father's quilt had not been rolled out, and my father was not there, so I went to look for Jiujiu. Jiujiu ran to the pharmacy, and his father was really there, with two big black circles, and then Jiujiu quarreled with him. ”

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Why did they quarrel?" ”

Xiao Sizi thought for a while, "Jiujiu yelled at Daddy loudly, what did you say, Kaifeng Mansion was not opened by your family, and it was not your mother who died, you have to fight with your life?" How many lives do you have, you are thinner than a hemp pole, have you ever looked in the mirror? What should you do if you are tired and leave your little fourth son? Aren't you the smartest person in the world, how can you be stupider than a pig, people pig teach you once and don't listen to it twice, don't listen to it three times, you just can't remember, don't you......"

Zhan Zhao shrank his neck, and Bai Yutang was also shocked, "Zhao Puzhen said that? ”

The little fourth son flattened his mouth, "Jiujiu said a lot, the voice is so loud, those Lang Zhong around him were scared away, and several grandparents in the Demon Palace were also scared away, Jiujiu also said that in the future, Daddy will stay up late, where he boiled up, he burned the house, and whoever boiled with him killed that person......"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - Zhao Pu was in a frenzy.

"And what did your dad say?" Bai Yutang asked.

The fourth son said, "Daddy was stupid at first, and then he replied, but he didn't quarrel with Jiujiu." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and Lin Yehuo didn't know when to gossip, "Your father will lose if he quarrels?!" ”

The little fourth son seemed to be confused with his round cheeks, "Yes, Daddy seems to have lost the first time he quarreled!" ”

At this time, an unkind thought flashed in everyone's minds at the same time - they actually missed it! What a pity!

"And after that?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"After that, the sound of the quarrel was attracted, Aunt Yin and Aunt Bai came, and the aunts dragged the two away, pulled Daddy away, and then Daddy ignored Jiujiu!" Xiao Sizi said.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Zhao Pu is so fierce to your father, you didn't even turn your face with him?" ”

Xiao Sizi pouted, "Does Jiujiu make sense, doesn't Xiao Sizi want his father to stay up late!" ”

Everyone subconsciously raised their faces and looked at Gongsun and Zhao Pu, who were sitting on two tables with an obviously weird atmosphere - oh! It's kind of interesting!

Gongsun easily finished drinking the chicken soup, turned his face, and saw Zhao Pu holding a cup, as if he was secretly looking at him.

The two looked at each other, and Gongsun twisted his face.

Zhao Pu looked at the sky.

Gongsun looked at Zhanzhao and a few of them, what did it mean - what are you doing standing there, come here!

Zhan Zhao and the others hurriedly went over and sat down.

Yin Hou and Tianzun had already been drinking tea and eating snacks on the side, and the old people kept the living conditions of the old people and ignored the emotional problems of their children and grandchildren

Zhan Zhao took advantage of Yin Lanci to add chicken soup to Gongsun, sat down next to Gongsun with his little fourth son, and asked curiously, "Gongsun, what do you want next?" ”

Gongsun stretched out his hand and took the thick stack of manuscripts that Mrs. Bao had finished reading just now, and said, "I have analyzed the camellia, you have stood firm......"

As he spoke, Gongsun said, "All camellias are poisonous!" ”

The chopsticks of the people who were eating breakfast stopped.

Zhao Pu frowned, "It's all poisonous?" ”

Gongsun glanced at him.

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, he lowered his head to eat, and muttered in his heart - stingy nerd!

Gongsun spread out the stack of papers, everyone glanced at it, and subconsciously rubbed their eyes - what is this densely written?

"You say all camellia are poisonous?" Zhan Zhao felt that the situation was not ordinarily serious.

"But after analysis, there is one thing that is very strange." Gongsun went on to say, "The toxicity of each camellia is different, but none of them is the most poisonous. On the contrary, the teapot we picked up from the inn was the most poisonous! ”

Everyone looked at Gongsun.

"Didn't we think that the pollen of the Fanqiong flower affected the camellia?" Gongsun asked.

Everyone nodded.

"But the fact is that it is the pollen of the poisonous camellia that affects the Fanqiong flower!" Gongsun's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone looked at Gongsun.

"Let's just say that." Gongsun said, "Flowers and flowers breed with each other through pollen, the pollen of the same flower affects each other, different flowers, unless it is artificially grafted, it is unlikely to be skewered, just like how to say that peach blossoms can not be strung oranges, a truth." ”

Everyone nodded.

"But the Fanqiong flower itself is artificially cultivated by camellia and qionghua, so it will also be affected by camellia pollen." Gongsun continued, "Because of the particularity of Fanqionghua itself, we thought about the direction of the case in the opposite direction!" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and they generally understood what Gongsun meant.

Master Bao nodded, "What does Mr. mean is that the murderer originally planted highly poisonous camellias, but he didn't expect that the pollen of the camellia affected other flowers, so that other camellias and Fanqiong flowers were poisonous?" ”

Gongsun nodded, "This is what is it for, the camellia distributed everywhere are poisonous, but some are highly toxic and some are low." And the most poisonous are those in Xiao Changqing's teapot, that is, the kind of flowers that poisoned Mrs. Yiye. ”

"So." Zhan Zhao said, "As long as you find the person who grows the most poisonous kind of camellia, you can find out who is the murderer who poisoned Mrs. Yiye." ”

"But there are no camellias sold on the market." Bai Yutang said, "So, that kind of camellia doesn't grow in the wild. ”

Gongsun nodded.

"So how do you find the source?" Mr. Bao was very curious.

Gongsun smiled slightly, and shook the stack of paper in his hand, "Just rely on the other camellias!" ”

Everyone looked at Gongsun stupidly, "Can you find it like this?" ”

Gongsun nodded, "Yes, I just want all the masters to help!" ”

Everyone was amused, "How do I find it?" ”

Gongsun enthusiastically spread out the large pile of paper and explained to everyone how to determine the time of pollen dispersal through the flowering and pollination period of camellia and fanqiong flowers. The wind direction is calculated by time and the climate at the time, and the approximate path of pollen drifting downwind is calculated by the change of terrain to wind direction.

Gongsun said in high spirits, and the crowd looked at him speechlessly, and for the first time understood what it meant to play the piano to the cow.

As Gongsun spoke, he felt that everyone was bowing their heads to eat, and the little fourth son gave him a xiaolongbao in a bowl, and turned his face up, which means - Daddy, everyone doesn't understand, hurry up and eat.

Gongsun scratched his chin and was about to eat steamed buns, when he heard Zhao Pu ask, "And then?" “

Gongsun was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.

Zhao Pu asked, "The wind in August is northerly, what about after that?" ”

Gongsun stared at Zhao Pu for a while, and was also a little surprised-he actually understood, didn't he ...... To be precise, Zhao Pu, who was most afraid of trouble, actually listened to everything he said.

On the side, the little fourth son gave Zhao Pu a bun, which means - good Jiujiu, you two hurry up and reconcile!

As he spoke, a group of shadow guards outside who had disappeared from this morning returned, carrying several baskets with thin red strings in the frames.

"Is that enough, sir?" The shadow guards asked Gongsun

Gongsun looked at it and nodded, "Enough!" ”

Zhan Zhao was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want so many ropes?" ”

Gongsun looked at the sky, and sure enough, he didn't listen.

But before he could explain in detail at length, Zhao Pu, who patiently finished listening to Gongsun's words just now, helped streamline it, and said, "It's that nerd who has found the direction, each of you takes a roll of rope, puts the line as you go, and walks according to a certain law, when everyone meets together, it is where the pollen comes out!" ”

After hearing this, everyone thought about it, and then clapped their hands, "Wow! Good way! ”

Gongsun moistened his throat with a teacup, and talked for a long time, and summed it up in one sentence.

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun with a smile.

Gongsun twisted his face, obviously still making trouble about what happened just now.

Zhao Pu looked at the little fourth son, what does that mean-why is your father so stingy?

The little fourth son looked at Zhao Pu with a pimple between his eyebrows, and the meaning was obvious - Jiujiu provoked it, so Jiujiu was responsible for coaxing his father!

Zhao Pu scratched his head, he seemed to be scolding a little harshly just now, but he was also a bad nerd, and he didn't listen to him many times he told him not to stay up late.

was thinking about how to ease the atmosphere, and Xi'er ran behind him to put a bowl of hot beef noodles on Zhao Pu's hand.

Zhao Pu looked at it and was in a good mood.

Ouyang hurriedly asked Xi'er, "Is there anything else, I want to eat it too." ”

Xi'er was stunned and touched her chin, "You want it too, then you have to wait until tomorrow morning, and I will cook a bowl today." ”

Zhao Pu snorted and ate noodles, gloating and looking at Ouyang Shaozheng.

Ouyang also wondered, "Just cook a bowl of noodles?" ”

"There are noodles, and there is only one bowl of toppings." Xi'er said, "Originally, when I had supper last night, everyone ate beef noodles, and Mr. told me to let me keep some, and the ninth prince said two days ago that he wanted to eat beef noodles in the morning, so I kept one person." ”

Zhao Pu chewed the noodles in his mouth, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and the meaning was obvious - dwarf oil! You're still scolding!

Ouyang squinted at Zhao Pu - tell you to owe again! Don't you feel a little guilty?

Zhao Pu swallowed the noodles in his mouth and continued to scratch his head - what should I do?!

After eating, everyone took a roll of rope, and Gongsun gave each of them a piece of paper, on which was written the location of the camellia they were going, and then according to Gongsun's instructions, everyone went in a different direction, if they encountered a mountain, where to turn, how far to go, and how to go when they encountered a river, in short, it was as if they were following the trajectory of the wind.

"After walking to the bottom like this, can you touch it?" Bai Yutang thought it was amazing.

Gongsun thought for a moment and said, "My calculation is like this, but whether it will succeed in the end can only be tried." ”

Everyone thought they might as well give it a try, so they went their separate ways, and each brought a shadow guard to help hold the rope.

The fourth child also wanted to play with him, so Xiao Liang carried him on his back and ran away with Zhanzhao.

When everyone left, Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu, who was standing aside with a paper.

The two looked at each other.

Zhao Pu dragged him, and his tone was super gentle, "Aren't you going too, come with me." ”

Gongsun squinted at him.

Purple Shadow and Ochre Shadow took the drawings and red rope in Zhao Pu's hand, and ran away with laughter.

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand to pull Gongsun, but Gongsun didn't pretend to him, to be honest...... He also knows Zhao Pu's kindness, but this rascal's mouth is too owed, and his speech is ugly. However, Zhao Pu was cheeky and put on a lifeless face, obviously begging for mercy, and Gongsun was not angry anymore, and was pulled away by him.

Seeing that Gongsun's face was good-looking, Zhao Pu stretched out his hand to hug him, jumped onto the wall, and went with Ziying and Ochre.

Soon, everyone arrived at the location of a camellia in their respective charges, and left a few soldiers to press the end of the rope, and everyone put the line and began to walk according to the direction marked by Gongsun.

Along the way, there are indeed mountains and rivers, and everyone also avoids and turns according to the method written by Gongsun. I just walked and walked until noon

By noon, Zhanzhao found that they had all arrived in the mountains near Yingtianfu, Xiao Liang was so tired that he was panting, and the little fourth son was already lying on Bai Ying's back, but he still didn't see anyone.

Xiao Liang asked, "Oh, how long is this going to run?" ”

"Rope is running out." White Shadow looked at what little was left in the frame.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, and saw the little fourth son on Bai Ying's back suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed, "Look over there!" ”

As soon as Zhan Zhao turned around, he saw that on the other side, Bai Yutang pulled the rope and came out of a forest.

"Over there!" Xiao Liang has been in the northwest corner again.

Everyone turned their faces together, and saw that Yin Hou also came, and then, in all directions, Tianzun, Lu Tianhan, and Hong Jiuniang...... And so on, and everybody came with the end of the rope.

At the end, Zhao Pu came down from a tree with his grandson on his back, and the red ropes in everyone's hands gathered together.

Thereupon......

Everyone present was dumbfounded, but felt a little incredulous - Gongsun's calculation was successful! It really worked.

Gongsun himself thought it was incredible.

So the crowd looked around.

"Are there camellias around here?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Everyone else looks at Gongsun.

Gongsun said, "If all the calculations are correct, then it should be within a radius of one mile!" ”

"A mile ......"

Everyone was about to look in different directions, when Tianzun, who was standing on the treetops, suddenly pointed into the distance, "There is a mountain villa over there!" ”

Bai Yutang went up the tree, looked in the direction of his finger beside Tianzun, and frowned...... On the hillside not far away, there is a manor-like place, there are few houses in it, but there are many things planted on the whole hillside, in addition to mulberry trees, fruit trees, vegetables, tea, and all kinds of flowers, among which there is a large camellia field.

Bai Yutang jumped down, "I guess that's there." ”

Ochre Ying ran to inquire and came back and said, "There is a plaque at the entrance of that villa, the name is Shan Shan Tea House. I inquired with a nearby farmer, and said that it was a private farm owned by a merchant in Yingtianfu, called Shan Yiren, who used to grow melons, fruits, vegetables and tea, and all tea, vegetables and fruits were only for the good family's own consumption and were not sold out. ”

Everyone looked at Zhanzhao, "What is the origin of this good family?" ”

Zhan Zhao scratched his head, "I've never heard of it." ”

"Let's let Master Bao ask Yi Xian." Gongsun Dao.

"Why don't you go in and pick one out?" Zhan Zhao wanted to run over, but was dragged by Bai Yutang and Yin Hou.

Gongsun waved his hand, "Don't worry! This thing isn't your average poison! Mrs. Yiye just broke a little skin and died, so she can't mess around. ”

Zhuge Lu Yi also nodded, "Anyway, the camellia can't run, it's not too late to talk about it when it's clear, don't startle the snake." ”

So, Zhao Pu left a few shadow guards to monitor the neighborhood to see who was coming and going on weekdays.

The others returned to Hongying Village, and this time they found that they had obtained a new clue.

Zhan Zhao ran back to Hongying Village, the first thing he did was to find his father, pull Zhan Tianxing, Zhan Zhao asked, "Dad, do you know Shan Yiren from Ying Tianfu." ”

Zhan Tianxing frowned, "What Shan Yiren?" ”

"Haven't you heard of it?" Everyone was curious, "It is said that it is a big businessman of Ying Tianfu." ”

Zhan Tianxing shook his head suspiciously, "I have dealings with most of the merchants in Yingtianfu, and I know all the people who have heads and faces on the interface, but I have never heard a single surname.

And they were all puzzled...... So low-key?

Zhan Zhao was about to go to Master Bao, so he and Bai Yutang went to Ying Tianfu to ask Yi Xian.

"Bao Zheng went to Xu County." At this time, Master Pang walked out and said to Zhan Zhao, "You guys should also hurry up and go to Xu County to have a look, it seems that something has happened!" ”

Everyone was shocked, "What's wrong?" ”

Taishi said, "It was said that Xiao Changqing killed someone." ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Who did he kill?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"An innocent family of Xu County civilians." Taishi also shook his head, "It is said that last night he rushed into a house on the outskirts of Xu County like crazy, killed a farmer and his pregnant wife, and the farmer's seven-year-old daughter escaped by hiding under the bed." When Xiao Changqing ran out covered in blood, many villagers saw it, and hurriedly reported to the museum, and this morning the officials searched for bloody clothes in Xiao Changqing's room, which made the crowd excited. Originally, so many people from the rivers and lakes suddenly came to Xu County, which caused inconvenience to the people, but now it is so cruel to kill civilians, it can be said that the heavens are angry and people are resentful. Especially those people in Xihai are gambling money and visiting kilns, which makes a miasma...... No, Lao Bao went to try the case, and let the little girl and the villagers who witnessed it admit that it was Xiao Changqing who committed the murder last night, and if so, ...... The old man doesn't have to take revenge or revenge, he can directly serve the dog. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Yin Hou frowned after hearing this, "There's no reason, Xiao Changqing is a decent family, and he has never had such atrocities before." ”

The others also nodded, feeling that Xiao Changqing's sudden evil behavior was very abnormal.

But Bai Yutang remembered, "That day, Xiao Changqing's attendant said that on the night of Mrs. Yiye's death, Xiao Changqing went out like sleepwalking......"

Gongsun touched his chin, "But so far, many people in Xu County who have been poisoned by flowers have not committed murders. ”

"Let's go to Xu County first." Zhanzhao proposed, "I always feel that things are a little unusual. ”
