"How's the lamb?" Bai Li rested his hand on the top of his head and made a sheep's horn: "I wanted to eat mutton on Lushu Mountain, but unfortunately, I didn't eat a bite in the end." I'm going to get over this mutton addiction anyway. ”

"Then eat mutton, I told Bai Da to go to a nearby farmer's house to buy one and come back."

Bai Da is the name of one of the three new servants added to the White Mansion. In order to save trouble, Bai Ze directly used numbers to make it clear to these three people. The oldest one was named Bai Da, and the thin one was named Bai Wu, the one who was the most clever and the most eye-catching was named Bai Qi. As for why the numbers two, three, four, and six are not, it is because Bai Ze feels that these numbers are not very good.

For Bai Ze's arrangement, Bai Li is meaningless. Bai Da was a farmer before entering the mansion, raising chickens and ducks, cattle and sheep are all good at him, and it is not difficult for him to choose a sheep suitable for eating.

"Pick a slightly bigger one, the sheep is small, the meat is less, I'm afraid there won't be enough to share. We don't have the same thing in our house, the master eats, and the servant watches. Whether it's a small maid or a maid, it's all the same person, both delicious and always have to reserve a portion for them. Just go back and buy something else for them. ”

"It's really happy to be a person in our White Mansion."

"That is, who called the master of our Bai Mansion Bai Ze Bai Ze." Bai Li covered her mouth and smiled.

Bathing and changing clothes, Bai Ze conjured a new carriage with rune paper, and the two of them rushed to the gate of the county government by car. Gao Zhan was still very neat, and when they arrived at the gate of the county government, the old Wu shopkeeper and his wife had been placed in the previous carriage, and the newly bought coffin was covered with an oilcloth and placed on the ox cart, and a small catcher in a cloak was responsible for driving the car.

Gao Zhan was holding an umbrella, and under the umbrella stood him and Lord Xin. Seeing Bai Li and them driving over, they all walked over.

"It's raining so hard, why did Lord Xin come out?"

"There is such a big thing in Huaxi Town, how can I, the county magistrate, stay in the county office." Lord Xin stepped into the carriage with Gao Zhan's support. "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, this time the matter is hard for two of you."

"Lord Bai is polite, these are what we should do."

"Yes, everyone lives in the same town, and they have met each other, and they happen to be able to manage it, so how can they not ask." After Bai Li finished speaking, he saw Gao Zhan take the umbrella and squeeze in.

"Why don't you sit in that carriage?"

"It's not appropriate." Gao Zhan lowered his head and returned: "The old Wu shopkeeper and his wife are lying down, and it is inevitable that they will have to say something considerate on the way, and I am an outsider watching from the sidelines, which is inevitably a little eye-catching." ”

"Is this a cold joke or a horror story, I don't think it's funny at all, and it's not scary. Forget it, whatever you say is what you say. Fortunately, our new carriage is spacious enough, and the four people don't feel crowded when they sit. ”

"My lord is out of the house, there should be other things to talk to the three of us."

"There is something, and it has something to do with the shark found today." Master Xin took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Bai Ze: "I need to ask Mr. Bai to help me take a look at such a thing." ”

The envelope contained two things, stationery and scales. Stationery is the ordinary kind of stationery, several sheets stacked on top of each other, quite thick. At first glance, the scales appear blue, but when placed in a bright place, they show a mysterious sight of brilliant colors blending together, and they look very beautiful in short.

"Isn't this the scale of a legendary mermaid?" Bai Li carefully took the scales: "These scales are so big, even if ordinary fish scales can grow to such a big size, it is estimated that they will not grow so beautiful." In addition, in my impression, the texture of both fish scales and snake scales is a little hard and hard, but this fish scale gives people a feeling that it is really soft, and it doesn't feel like a hand at all, and it is quite comfortable. Tell me, Lord Xin, if this is a mermaid's scale. ”

"I have never seen the mermaid that Madame Bai said, so I can't be sure if this scale is a mermaid's scale, but what I can be sure of is that this is indeed a fish scale, which was sent from Hejiabao by a secret agent I sent to Hejiabao before he died."

"Hejiabao! He Jingzhong, the shopkeeper's He Jiabao? ”

"Yes, it's the He Jiabao of the shopkeeper's house." Gao Zhan nodded and replied to Lord Xin: "Your Excellency noticed this He Jiabao at the beginning of his tenure. After taking office, he began to send people to Hejiabao through various relationships, and sent a total of five spies into it, but all of them were killed without exception. Even this letter was sent from inside by one of the secret agents through the hands of the old Wu shopkeeper. ”

"Old Wu's shopkeeper is Master Xin's person?"

"No, no, no, he is not the official's person, he is from Hejiabao." Master Xin explained: "Lao Wu and his wife are both aborigines near Hejiabao, and after the He family purchased land to build Hejiabao, Lao Wu and his wife naturally fell under the jurisdiction of Hejiabao. Gao Zhan just said something wrong, the first person who noticed He Jiabao was not this official, but the official's mentor. When the teacher was investigating a case in Beijing, he accidentally discovered that the case was related to a powerful person in the capital, and this powerful person was involved in a secret related to Hejiabao.

So, the teacher suppressed the case and began to secretly investigate the matter of He Jiabao without hiding from the powerful person. The teacher felt that this He Jiabao was extraordinary, and it might even endanger the emperor's country. The reason why I was able to return to Huaxi Town to serve is also inseparable from my mentor. Because I am a local, I have some connections of my own in the local area, which are not available to the foreign transfer officers. It's a pity that several years have passed, and my investigation of He Jiabao has only stopped at this letter and this fish scale. ”

"What does the letter say?" Bai Li glanced at the letter curiously, but found that the entire letter was red. I thought it was a word, but it turned out to be one blurry red dot after another. "Is this a book from heaven?"

"This is the Book of Blood, written in blood by the last agent before he died. When teleporting out, because I accidentally fell into the water, all the words on it were blurred. Master Xin sighed: "Although the official received the letter, he has never been able to figure out what is written in this letter. ”

"Ask the shopkeeper of Lao Wu, didn't they come out of Hejiabao, what does this Hejiabao do, just ask them."

"If you can ask clearly, the adults must have asked clearly, and if you can say anything, the old Wu shopkeeper must have said it to the adults. Until now, the adults have not been able to figure out the real situation in Hejiabao, so it can only explain two things. The first thing is that the old Wu shopkeeper and his wife did not say anything to adults in some things because they took care of it. The second thing is that they don't actually know, they are only the outermost personnel of Hejiabao, and they are not clear about the real secrets of Hejiabao. ”

"This is a book of blood, but it is not human blood, but shark blood." Bai Ze handed the letter to Bai Li: "And this letter is not destroyed, but it is what it is." The blood spots on this are not because the handwriting is blurred because it has been exposed to water, but because it has not been touched by water, so the handwriting is illegible. This is the text of the merman clan, if the guess is correct, this letter and this scale are the distress signal of the merman clan. ”
