Darba was a monk, wearing a big red robe with half of his shoulders exposed. Bald, purple-haired, with two large tinkling gold rings on his ears.

The face is dark.

He sat cross-legged on the meditation bed, holding a crystal ball in his hand, and looked indifferently at Gao Sheng, the steward from the palace: "Lord Yin Wu, why did he invite me to go?"

"Because the state government is coming to report, they found Master Dugu's pet ...... in the mountains and forests of Shilipo."

Gao Sheng bowed and saluted, saying in his heart, he didn't like this sloppy and strange big monk, only because he was ordered by Lord Yin to participate in the capture of evidence, the hypnotic white cat, had to deal with this Fanbang Lama.

"What does this have to do with me?" Darba muttered.

"Unbeknownst to the master, this pet is the famous, sleep-inducing, white-furred Persian cat. ”

"It's funny. ”

Darba sat up straight and turned the crystal ball in his hand thoughtfully: "Senior affairs, according to the poor monk, Dugu's defeat This cat was given to him by His Royal Highness King Yan, right?"

Gao Sheng replied respectfully: "The master is well-read and has a strong memory, which is admirable. ”

"When the Persian merchant Aiman came to my Ming Dynasty and lived in the capital, he raised a white cat that bewitched human nature, and asked for three thousand taels of gold, and became famous for a while. Darba's thick lips moved, revealing the big teeth inside, and bowed his head and said to himself: "At that time, it was just in time for the famous general Lan Yu to return from the Northern Expedition, defeated the Mongolian army, and was named 'Liang Guogong' by the Holy Lord, and his arrogance was in full swing." Lan Yuzhi is frivolous and impetuous—this is also a matter of course, and the two of them quarrel over the purchase of this cat, and they do not give in to each other. Liang Guogong was angry and forcibly took it away, but Aiman refused to accept and came up to fight, and was severely beaten by his sergeants......

"It's been more than ten years since this incident, and the master can still remember it so clearly?"

Darba sighed and said, "Poor Ayman was robbed of the 'Snow Lion', and he was beaten all over his body, and he ran without a way, and there was a sense of resentment in his heart. As soon as he couldn't afford to be sick, he died so hard. ”

Gao Sheng nodded yes, and said, "Didn't the Holy Lord also punish Lan Yu later, and cut his title from 'Liang Guogong' to 'Liang Guogong'?"

"But Ayman is dead after all. ”

Darba's pair of big eyes almost protruded out of his orbit, "I heard that this Persian merchant had asked a native sorcerer to cast a spell before he died, sowing a poisonous oath that whoever gets the 'snow lion' will not ......die well."

Gao Sheng was taken aback: "No wonder later Lan Yu was beheaded all over the house due to a rebellion, and the nine clans were even connected, and there were only tens of thousands of people who were beheaded at that time!"

"When is the time for retribution? ”

"Then why did this 'snow lion' come into the hands of Dugu again?" Gao Sheng sighed deeply.

Darba smacked his lips and said, "Lan Yu was convicted, the mansion was raided, and someone immediately presented the white cat to His Royal Highness King Yan, and King Yan also liked it." But when the staff around him said that the 'Snow Lion' was cursed, and said that this thing had a strange look and was ominous, King Yan hesitated. At that time, Dugu was invited by the emperor to be a guest in the capital, and after he heard about it, he did not shy away from taboos, and resolutely took him in, and said that the world's good fortune and misfortune are all in their own ......"

"I see. ”

"This thing has been carried to the Western Regions Snow Mountain by Dugu for more than ten years. Darba's eyes turned upwards and he said to himself, "Why is it in Middle-earth again?"

Gao Sheng didn't dare to hide it, so he stepped forward and said: "Don't hide it from the master, because the saint is going to hold a national swordsmanship competition in the capital today, and in order to strengthen his prestige, he specially hired Dugu's predecessor as the chief judge of the competition." ”

"I know about this, the chief judge seems to be someone else, right?"

"Yes, it is His Royal Highness King Yan, who is currently living in Youzhou and holding heavy soldiers. ”

"The Fourth Prince Zhu Di?"

"Hmm. ”

Darba interrupted Gao Sheng's words: "I don't understand this, since Dugu should accept the position of chief judge, he has traveled thousands of miles to meet the emperor, so he should naturally come to the capital, what is he doing in Shilipo?"

Gao Sheng said with a wry smile: "After a few months of travel, tired and tired, the honor guard wanted to rest outside the city and meet the emperor the next day, but I didn't want to have an accident this night......"

"Still?"

"This honor guard of more than 100 people and the Dugu Great Sword Master have mysteriously disappeared at the Shilipo Post Station!"

"Then I can't go, it's your business to decide the case. It has nothing to do with me. Darba frowned, his expression depressed, "I'm a monk who is a monk, and I'm an outsider, so it's best to avoid making peace with the government." In my opinion, the 'snow lion' is nothing, no matter how strange it is, it is just a beast, and it can't speak. You can't just try to solve a crime with a cat, can you?"

"But, Master......"

Darba shook his head even harder: "Tell you, that Persian cat has indeed been cast a mysterious spell, ominous, if you believe me, stay away from it." - Executive business, you can go. ”

Gao Sheng scolded in his heart, bowed and said goodbye: "The master is at his own convenience." ”

Exited the meditation hall.

Darba sat on the meditation bed, raised the crystal ball in his hand, and watched. Through the light through the window, you can faintly see that the crystal sphere slowly condenses into a white light, spreading, like a cloud like fog, flickering and disappearing, growing and weakening. Darba was startled, opened his mouth wide, and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Oh my God, is the calamity coming to the world again!"

The steward Gao Sheng walked out of the Huangjue Temple, and a Ganzhou Yazhu was waiting at the bottom of the steps.

Seeing him come out of the temple, Tang Yu greeted him: "Lord Gao, how are you talking?"

Gao Sheng sighed, his eyebrows locked: "This old thing, toast and don't eat and drink, after talking for a long time, he refuses to go to ......"

"What then?"

"Go back first and report to Lord Wu. ”

A few people returned to Yingtianfu, and a green sedan chair was parked at the door of the mansion. Gao Sheng went in to resume his life, Tang Yu and Xiang Jincheng had nothing to do, and they were waiting under the hall.

Xiang Jincheng was rude, and it was best to put the things in the cup, and said, "Hey, it's not worth it later, how many brothers are going to drink?"

Tang Yu shook his head and said, "You don't see how urgent the case is, and there are a lot of clues. Adults are in a hurry, and they will let us drink. ”

"You're a hard boy. Xiang Jincheng was bored and made fun of him: "Perform so energetically to please your boss, Tang Yu, do you want to be the head catcher?"

A few catchers laughed.

Tang Yuhun didn't care, and said: "Look at what you said, I'm still a little catcher, and I'm still barely strong, how dare I expect anything to catch the head? But since we have taken the money, we have to do something." Isn't it?"

"The more I talked, the more I got stronger. ”

Everyone is chatting freely, and the guests are summoned inside, and everyone returns to you and straightens up. After a while, I saw Lord Wu accompanying a purple-robed official out of the second hall, talking as he walked. This official is a middle-aged man, with a good figure, sword eyebrows, and a dashing appearance.

The two of them went out of the house together.

Gao Sheng then followed, and he was anxious, Xiang Jincheng didn't know his face, and he always talked a lot: "Senior executive, who was that big official just now?"

"There is no clue to the case, and the saint is angry!" Gao Sheng couldn't help sighing, "Solve the case within a time limit." No, even the lobby of the Criminal Department sent someone down to assist in the investigation?"

"Then this person is from the Criminal Department?"

"No, this is Lord Lin Fanghelin, the left attendant of the Criminal Department. ”

"Lin Fanghe?"

Tang Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
