305

This morning, Bao Zheng rarely got up early in the morning.

hurriedly ate two bites of breakfast, and in the roar of Aunt Bao, she picked up the bookcase and hurriedly went out.

When I walked to the gate of the academy, I saw my classmate He Ming walking out happily.

"He Ming, why did you come out?"

"The door was blocked by the soldiers, you were not allowed to enter, the leader said that the academy was on vacation for a day, and I don't know what was going on, someone wanted to go in and ask before, and the soldiers beat several batches of military sticks. But I think it's pretty good, and I was able to take a day off. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and left directly.

Bao Zheng scratched his head strangely, and then walked inside.

Sure enough, he didn't go far, and he saw a row of soldiers blocking the road in front of him, and the team led by him walked directly in front of Bao Zheng.

"Stop, go back the same way, today the academy is closed for one day, and no one is allowed to enter."

Bao Zheng smiled: "I know, you must have come because of the murder, I am different, I am Bao Zheng who was ordered to investigate the case, let me in." ”

"No, go back the way you came!"

"I'm Bao Zheng." Packet pointed to his nose and his eyes widened.

"It's not good who you are."

Soldiers do not eat oil and salt.

When he was pestering, Gongsun Ce hurried over.

Seeing Bao Zheng, he also laughed.

"You also have an early time to get up when you pack black charcoal!"

He didn't finish a sentence when he was stopped by the soldiers as he entered.

"Stop, you are not allowed to enter!"

"Why aren't you allowed in? I'm a student at the academy, so you guys don't make sense! Gongsun Ce protested.

"Lao Tzu doesn't care if it is unreasonable or unreasonable, Mu Du said that he will not let in, that is, he will not let in!"

"Then I will ask to go in as the son of Fu Yin!"

"It's not easy to make any sons, okay, okay, don't dwell on it anymore, if you can't figure it out, each person will be beaten with 30 military sticks!"

"Hey, how do you ...... this person?"

As soon as Gongsun Ce was halfway through his words, he was pulled over by Bao Zheng.

"Xiucai meets a soldier, he can't explain it reasonably, not to mention that we don't even show talent, you are forcibly reasoning with him, maybe the military stick will hit you, don't worry, you can't get in at the main gate, we have another way, follow me!"

Bao Zheng whispered to him, and then walked out.

Turning the corner, I happened to meet the little monk Zhanzhao.

"Brother Bao, why don't you go in!"

"You won't let you in, the officers and soldiers are blocked, and you can't say a word clearly, you still go with us."

In the end, Bao Zheng waved his hand and took Zhanzhao to sneak around the back wall.

Gongsun Ce muttered as he followed.

"This is Luzhou City, why did so many people come in as soldiers?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Brother Gongsun, why are you so stupid? Yang Qishan University Scholar is a third-grade official of the imperial court, and his death in the academy for no reason will definitely alarm the officialdom. It's understandable to come to a metropolis. It's just that it alarms the army, and it's not good for us to intervene. ”

Bao Zheng said: "It's too late to say anything, let's find out what happened inside first!" ”

Then he followed the base of the wall over a patch of grass, and found a hidden back door behind a plum tree.

Bao Zheng took out a key on his body, and said with a little smugness: "Look, it's not without benefit to help the academy with chores." Yesterday I was carrying firewood out of this door, and the key is still with me. Wait a minute, I'll open the lock. ”

After saying that, he pouted his ass and went to pick the lock.

Gongsun Ce pouted: "What's so proud about this!" When I figured this out, I went back to repair the book and went to the court to sue them for misusing military law. ”

The back door opened, and the three of them secretly walked in like thieves, directly into the front hall.

The academy is tight inside and out.

Several people were familiar with each other, and they really bypassed the sporadic patrolling soldiers and went directly to the vicinity of the main hall.

A few people peeked in, and just saw a person dressed as a general, grabbing the neck of Luzhou Mansion Yin, and scolded viciously.

"How do you become a magistrate? Two people have died, and they don't have a clue at all. That's just the so-called academy student, Yang Qishan University Scholar is a third-grade official of the imperial court, you teach me how to explain to the above? ”

Luzhou Mansion Yin was covered with cold sweat, and said in a panic: "But I have already sent someone to investigate, if you give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to investigate the case." ”

"Give you a little more time? If you delay any longer, everyone will die! ”

Mu Dutong's leopard's eyes were round, and his voice was vicious.

Luzhou Mansion Yin said repeatedly: "My lord, it's not that I don't work hard, but this case is indeed a bit strange, two people died in a row, and the way of death is very special, unlike ordinary people." Rumor has it that they died from a curse, so ......"

"It's ridiculous, the dignified court officials actually feel sorry for these things that catch the wind and shadows. It's so incompetent, you don't care about this matter, I'll investigate the case personally! ”

Mudutong brutally seized the sovereignty.

Luzhou Mansion Yin Wei was submissive and did not dare to argue.

Gongsun Ce snorted angrily when he saw his father being treated like this outside.

Mu Dutong immediately noticed it and shouted: "Who is outside, let me come in!" ”

Five or six soldiers in the main hall hurriedly rushed out and grabbed Bao Zheng and the three of them like chickens.

"Dare to eavesdrop on military secrets, drag it down and beat a hundred military sticks!"

"Wait." The mountain chief said: "These two have special identities, this is Bao Zheng, who investigated the case, and previously solved the mystery case of the Goryeo envoy, this is Gongsun Ce, the son of Luzhou Mansion Yin." This little monk is Zhanjun's younger brother, and all three of them are related to this case, so adults don't need to be harsh. ”

Listening to the teacher's intercession for himself, the three of them all laughed.

At this time, it is not okay not to accept softness, otherwise you will really love the stick on your ass.

Mu Dutong glared at the three of them, and simply didn't care about it anymore, he announced loudly: "Forget, I will announce one thing now, Luzhou City will be in charge of all affairs from today until this case is revealed." If someone dares not to obey orders, military law will be engaged! ”

Then, Mu Du threw up his sleeves and strode out.

As soon as he left, the soldiers followed, and the solemn atmosphere in the antechamber relaxed.

Luzhou Mansion Yin sorted out his robe there with a bitter face.

Bao Hei and Gongsun Ce glanced at each other and leaned in to salute.

Bao Zheng asked, "My lord, why does this matter have anything to do with the army?" Even if Lord Fu Yin feels powerless to deal with it, it should be taken over by a higher-level official. It has nothing to do with the army at all! ”

Luzhou Mansion Yin shook his head: "I don't understand this matter, Mudutong has always been stationed a hundred miles away, even if it belongs to Luzhou, he has never dealt with us, this time he suddenly came over, and directly took over this case, as if there was some purpose." ”

Bao Zheng nodded his temples and frowned: "Now there is another Mu Dutong, this matter is really getting more and more complicated!" ”

——

In the evening, Bao Zhengmu sat in the courtyard in a daze, his eyes straight.

Next to him, the three of them were helping Aunt Bao deal with medicinal herbs.

A few of them didn't bother him, not knowing that he was thinking about a problem.

At that moment, a dart suddenly landed on the door frame.

There was a soft sound, which startled several people.

Zhan Zhao rushed out as soon as possible.

Ling Chuchu vigilantly observed the surroundings, then carefully took off the dart, saw that a letter was inserted on it, and carefully unfolded it.

Bao Zheng's head leaned over and read: "I want to know the truth, come, three miles away from the bamboo forest!" ”

At this time, Zhan Zhao walked in, shook his head and said, "No one was found outside." ”

"Some say he knows the truth!" Chang Yu covered his mouth and said in surprise.

"Shall we go, then?"

As soon as Ling Chuchu turned around, Bao Zheng rushed out first, and threw down a sentence: "You must go and see, this is the only clue now." ”

"Hey, you're waiting for me!"

Ling Chuchu hurriedly picked up the saber and hurriedly chased it out.

"Wait, I'll go too!" Zhan Zhao jumped out the door after him.

Aunt Bao grabbed Chang Yu, "Let them go by themselves, you stay with me!" ”

Chang Yu nodded, with a faint worry in his eyes.

The speed of several people was fast, and the tea time had already rushed to the bamboo forest.

Bao Heitan was still panting there, and Ling Chuchu and Zhanzhao directly discovered the target.

"It's you!"

Their eyes widened.

Bao Heitan was still bent over panting, and he couldn't see clearly when he squinted. "Who is this?"

"It's the blind man we met in the restaurant yesterday!"

Ling Chuchu explained, glared and asked, "Is it the dart you sent?" ”

"Yes, that's me!" The blind man smiled.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "Do you know who the murderer is, hurry up!" ”

"I'm a blind man, I only came to Luzhou yesterday, how can I know who the murderer is?"

"And what did you tell us to do?"

"I want you to take me to the altar of the Yuyi clan!"

Bao Zheng was taken aback: "Do you know the Yuyi clan? ”

"I know a lot!"

The blind man seemed to be a little proud, and opened his mouth to groan: "The mountain is on the mountain, white, the mountain hugs a thousand greens, the water in the water, and the black water embraces ten thousand red." ”

Zhan Zhao was surprised: "That's right, this is the couplet in the cave of the Yuyi clan. But we don't know you, so why should we take you? ”

"Why? Because I'm better than you! ”

The blind man snorted suddenly and pounced.

Zhanzhao brandished a stick and fought with him.

Ling Chuchu stood in front of Bao Zheng and escorted him back.

I wanted to drag her to a safe place, so I came up to help Zhanzhao subdue the blind man.

But he didn't expect the blind man to play a trick, and after a few rounds of fighting with Zhanzhao, he directly threw his crutches at Ling Chuchu.

Ling Chuchu subconsciously opened it with his sword scabbard, and when he took advantage of this gap, the blind man suddenly pounced and grabbed Bao Zheng's neck.

"Don't move, take me to the altar immediately, and if you dare to say a word, I'll break this person's neck."

Saying that he used his hand hard, Bao Zheng tended to roll his eyes a little.

Ling Chuchu hurriedly said, "Okay, let's take you there, don't hurt him!" ”

"No more nonsense, hurry up."

A few more people made two more verbal cannons, and finally reluctantly led the blind man up the back mountain.

Bao Zheng was kidnapped, and he was a little scared at first, but after walking for a while, curiosity took over.

"Why did you go to that altar?"

The blind man listened to the footsteps with his ears sideways, and replied casually: "Aren't you known as the smartest person in Luzhou?" Why not guess for yourself? ”

"There are only three reasons that drive people to do things, fame and fortune, hatred, and curiosity. You know the altar well, and intellectual curiosity can be ruled out directly.

And you don't know who the murderer is, and you don't seem to care very much, so only fame and fortune remain.

Could it be that the legend of the treasure of the Yuyi clan is true? ”

The blind man was a little surprised: "You are really powerful, Bao Zheng." But knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, and you should have heard the phrase curiosity kills cats. ”

After saying this, the blind man's hand tightened a little tighter, and Bao Zheng couldn't speak again.

Ling Chuchu was nervous for a while, and scolded a few words, but it was useless.

Several people walked all the way up the back mountain and followed the road mined before into the cave.

The blind man seemed to sense the wind at the entrance of the cave, and whispered, "The altar is in the cave?" ”

"That's right, here it is!" Zhan Zhao said.

"It turned out to be here, the location is secret, no wonder I asked my minions to search all over the back mountain, but they didn't find this hole!"

Just as Zhanzhao's voice fell, and before the blind man could speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Followed by the sound of brushing footsteps, it seemed that a lot of people suddenly appeared around, faintly surrounding them in the center.

There were people behind him, and several people were taken aback.

Zhan Zhao carried a stick and shouted: "Who is pretending to be a ghost in the back, don't hurry up and get out!" ”

"Hehe, the little monk is not very old, but his tone is quite tough, I just don't know if your head is so hard!"

The one who spoke just now was obviously a gentle male voice, and now he spoke a graceful female voice.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Bao Zheng's mind, and he blurted out: "It's a ghost." ”

Ling Chuchu was taken aback and screamed, "What, it's them? ”

The surrounding fog rose faintly, and a 16-person chariot slowly appeared in front of everyone, the white veil was flying, and a man and a woman could be faintly seen sitting opposite each other.

Along the gap blown by the wind, you can see the man dressed in Confucian costume, like a noble son and scholar, while the woman is wearing a white dress, although it is graceful and luxurious, but in the fog there is a strange aura like a female ghost.

Hearing someone say the four words "Charm and Spirit", the woman in white looked a little surprised, and chuckled: "It's really strange, in this barren mountain and wilderness, someone actually knows the name of my brother and sister, big brother, is it the tail you left before?" ”

The man in black seemed a little helpless.

"Little sister, don't mess around, take a closer look at that black charcoal head, isn't it the same person from the Qingtian Medicine House last time?"

Ling Chuchu nodded vigorously, and said in a continuous voice: "That's right, yes, we are people from the Qingtian Medicine House, don't act rashly." ”

As he spoke, more than 20 people in black walked out of the surrounding circle silently.

Unified costumes, unified masks, unified movements, more than 20 people seemed to be one person, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the four people, which made several people can't help but tingle.
