In the evening, Lao Gao's dossier was piled up in the courtyard of Baifu, and Gongsun carefully rummaged through it to check the clues about the "secret weapon of the royal gate" twenty years ago.
Although the prefect of Xizhou Mansion was overzealous, the file was sorted out very clearly, and he also paid attention to protection on weekdays, and he was not eaten by insects, and Gongsun still appreciated him.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were waiting on the side, and the little fourth son was lying on top of the pile of files, looking at it with relish with his two little feet.
"Is the surname Wang" Gongsun seemed to have found a volume related to it, so he asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.
Both nodded.
"Hmm," Gongsun flipped through, "I guess it's this volume." ” Zhan Zhao took it, frowning slightly, "Fragment" "A lot of the pages have been torn off."
Gongsun also discovered the suspicious thing a long time ago, "All the files here are clean and clear, but this one has been torn off several pages."
Zhan Zhao looked at it carefully, it was a family tree, and the thick stack was full of names.
"So thick" Zhanzhao was surprised.
"The Wang family is a local noble family, and it was very prosperous in the early years."
Bao Zheng walked over, "But later, the people in the family began to be thin, until Wang Youcheng's generation was wiped out." ” "Wang Youcheng" Bai Yutang muttered to himself, "Nothing can be done, Wang Youcheng is successful" "I've heard that, too."
Zhan Zhao also remembered, "If Wang Youcheng is spoken, he is not unknown in the rivers and lakes, but it seems that he is famous not because he can make secret weapons, but because he is afraid of his wife." ” Bai Yutang nodded slightly, it seemed that he had heard similar rumors.
"What is there to pass on if you are afraid of your wife" Gongsun didn't quite understand, "There are many people in the world who are afraid of his wife, why do you say that he has achieved nothing" "There's something special about this."
Zhan Zhao said, "There are many people in the rivers and lakes who are afraid of their wives, but Wang Youcheng is not only afraid of his wife, but also relies on his wife. ” Zhao Pu listened to it very interestingly, "What do you mean by relying on your wife to eat soft rice?"
"Wang Youcheng is said to be very honest in nature, although the weapons made are exquisite, but they are almost lethal, they can be used as decorations but not weapons, and his ancestors have been hidden weapons for generations, and in his generation, they almost collapsed the business and became the laughing stock of the world."
Bai Yutang said, "But fortunately, I married a powerful wife." ” "Oh" Ouyang Shaozheng understood, "Could it be that his wife is better at making weapons than him" "Definitely."
Zhan Zhao shook his head, "His wife is not good at weapons, but has a vicious personality and is very insidious.
She added the secret weapon made by Wang Youcheng to poison, or set up some poisonous mechanisms, so that the lethality of Wang Youcheng's hidden weapon was increased by several grades. ” "It's so famous, you haven't heard of it before," Ouyang was curious.
Zhan Zhao shook his head, "But I really haven't heard of the fact that he participated in the assassination and was later killed."
Bai Yutang also nodded, Wang Youcheng's low position in the rivers and lakes is nothing more than a joke, there is really no more fame, and it is indeed a little strange why such a big thing as the assassination and destruction of the door has not spread Zhan Zhao finished going through the file of Wang Youcheng's case in detail, and said in surprise, "It seems that everything that was torn up is related to Wang Youcheng's wife." ” Bai Yutang took the file and flipped through it, "Even his wife's surname and genealogy have been torn away." ” Bao Zheng asked people to find the prefect of Xizhou and asked him why this file was damaged, and the prefect was also surprised, he has always kept the file well, and he had to check and clean it every six months.
The implication of the prefect's words is that this file was torn up within half a year.
This is strange, why did he tear up the content of Wang Youcheng's wife, is there any mystery in it, plus the case of today's mountain faction, which is really as Blue Fox said, because of the grievances of the year Bao Zheng immediately sent someone to investigate the clues of the Wang family in detail.
In the evening, Bian Tianshan sent someone down to find Bai Yutang.
"Tomorrow's martial arts competition" Bai Yutang listened to the intention of the little apprentice of the Tianshan faction, and was a little puzzled, "The competition is a martial arts competition, what are you looking for me to do?"
The little apprentice whispered, "Head Lu Feng said that the Tianshan Sect has suffered heavy injuries recently, and there may be people who will trouble us, so I want to invite the Taishi Uncle to take charge." ” Bai Yutang frowned and didn't speak.
Zhan Zhao heard it on the side, and was very curious, "No matter how you say it, the Tianshan faction is also the number one sect in martial arts, and the top ten masters have lost a few and there are still most of them left, who is so bold to provoke" The little apprentice seemed to be a little hesitant.
Bai Yutang saw some clues, so he spoke, "Speak clearly." ” The little apprentice told Bai Yutang, "It turns out that I don't know what's going on for a while, and there are many enemies of the Tianshan faction, and it seems that they want to take advantage of this crisis to join forces to find the bad luck of the Tianshan faction."
In addition, there are many big gangs that are among the best in martial arts, as if they want to see the Tianshan faction lose and then snatch the throne of the first sect in the world.
Lu Feng said that the situation was more critical, and he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the scene if something big happened, and then the Tianshan Sect's Qianqiu achievements would be destroyed in his hands. ” Bai Yutang listened with a toothache, "What kind of meritorious work, isn't it just a sect, and it's not to save the common people." ” Zhao Pu listened happily on the side.
The little apprentice was embarrassed, "Uncle Taishi, but if you lose, won't you lose face to Tianzun." ” Bai Yutang frowned, annoyed when he thought of these battles in the rivers and lakes.
Zhan Zhao touched him lightly with that arm, guess the murderer was not there Bai Yutang was slightly stunned.
"When will the competition start tomorrow," Bai Yutang asked.
The little apprentice breathed a sigh of relief, "It will start early tomorrow morning, it was originally just a martial arts competition for their own family, and there were very few people watching the ceremony, but whether those sects would come to provoke and when they would come, it is not known specifically." “ Bai Yutang signaled that he knew, so he let the little apprentice go back.
At this time, Zhao Pu leaned on the table and said to himself, "Is it better to go to Bishuitan to catch a unicorn, or to watch people compete in martial arts?"
Gongsun glanced at him, "You still think about that unicorn?"
"That's it."
Zhao Pu touched his chin.
"But the scale knife has proven to be just a secret weapon, and the unicorn may not exist, maybe it's just a big fish."
Gongsun poured cold water on him.
"Tsk."
Zhao Pu shook his head, which meant that there must be something in the water that would not be known Gongsun and Xiao Sizi glanced at each other, Zhao Pushen was mysterious, as if he was calculating something.
Bai Yutang suddenly asked Zhanzhao in a low voice, "In the Demon Palace, who is the best in water?"
Zhan Zhao thought for a moment, "That's a lot, but the best should be me" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, which of your seniors didn't look like they knew water Zhan Zhao is frustrated, which can be seen Bai Yutang laughed since ancient times, cats don't know water Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned Bai Yutang also wondered, but Zhanzhao was indeed named a royal cat, and it was quite appropriate to call him a "cat".
Thinking of this, Bai Yutang silently glanced at Zhan Zhao Zhanzhao's eyes narrowed, you dare to shout and try "Daddy, what is the White Tiger Star?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were looking at each other, when they heard the little fourth son suddenly speak and ask Gongsun a question.
Gongsun frowned slightly, "You learned it from there" Xiao Sizi raised his hand and raised the book he was reading, "There is a writing here, the Chen family's criminal wife, the reincarnation of the White Tiger Star, the dead husband's family, and the pig cage immersion."
Gongsun was stunned, tilted his head to look at what Xiao Sizi was holding in his hand, yes, he was reading the dossier instead of some local chronicles or folklore.
"What kind of case is this Yamen, and there are those who take the White Tiger Star to judge the crime" Zhao Pu took the file and looked at it carefully, because it was to investigate the case of the Wangmen, so the files here were all twenty years ago, which record of the fourth son of the little fourth son is an old woman who sued her daughter-in-law for being the White Tiger Star, and killed her son and almost half of the people in the village, and in the end, the Yamen really sentenced her to death for immersing in the pig cage.
"Ridiculous."
After Bao Zheng took the dossier handed over by Zhao Pu and read it, he frowned, "How can it be such a ridiculous heavy sentence?"
Bao Zheng called the Xizhou prefect to ask sternly, but the old prefect still remembered this incident, and he was also very helpless, "Lord Bao, it's not that the lower officials are punishing indiscriminately, in fact, this village woman was drowned in the pig cage by the neighbors in the village first, they cut it first and then played, and came to me to report that this woman is the reincarnation of the White Tiger Star, and if she doesn't drown, she will kill the whole village." ” Bao Zheng felt more and more ridiculous when he heard this, "You don't punish you severely" "My lord" The prefect lowered his voice a little, "My lord didn't read the whole case file, in fact, this woman had married three husbands before, all of them killed her husband's whole family within a year, and then the whole village suffered a catastrophe, either plague or drought and flood, so that the whole village died."
"Or maybe it's just a coincidence."
Bai Yutang said slowly, "What does it have to do with a woman?"
"There were already signs of the plague in that village, but after the woman drowned, the plague was eliminated overnight."
The prefect said seriously, "This case is very difficult to judge, either the whole village has been imprisoned for homicide, or the case is pressed down, at that time, the government was not stable, I reported to the state government at the next higher level, and was ordered to revise the file and make the following sentences." ” After Bao Zheng listened, he had a general understanding, although he felt helpless, but after all, it has been so long, and it doesn't matter now, but there is a thorn in his heart, not very comfortable, this village woman is too pitiful, widowed, remarried, white tiger star, immersed in pig cage life is so bumpy.
The fourth son still didn't understand what the "White Tiger Star" was, so he came to Gongsun's side, "Daddy" Gongsun took a piece of orange and gaged his mouth, "It's not good to speak, don't say it in the future." ” "Hmm."
Xiao Sizi chewed the orange pulp and nodded, looking back at Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu held his chin and didn't seem to approve of Gongsun's method of teaching children, but he didn't say much.
It soon got dark, and Zhanzhao lay alone in the room, looking up at the roof in a daze.
As he was staying, he heard a low "buzzing" sound.
Zhan Zhao sat up and saw a golden beetle parked on the candlestick next to the bed.
Zhan Zhao leaned over and looked at it, frowning that it was not the one he let go of in the morning, whose was it, it was Aunt Lan's Feeling strange, Zhanzhao reached out and held up the insect to look at it, and saw that under the golden shell, there were a pair of black wings Zhan Zhao was startled, jumped up, put on his coat and rushed out of the door, first looked left and right in the yard, and found nothing unusual, so he ran up the wall, the insect was flying up from behind him, and Zhan Zhao hurriedly chased out.
And at this time, it was so coincidental that Bai Yutang couldn't sleep, and was looking at the starry sky in the courtyard in a daze, when he saw Zhanzhao quickly flash over the wall and out of the courtyard, he felt a little strange.
Bai Yutang hesitated, whether to follow or not When he was thinking, he had already jumped on the wall and saw that under the dark night, the streets were foggy, and Zhanzhao ran quickly in the direction of Bishui Mountain, and then went up the mountain.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, what were you doing in the middle of the night After thinking about it, he still chased him out, not to follow him, but to think to himself, don't get lost in the mountains for a while.
Bai Yutang was far away, but he didn't see that Zhanzhao was not running alone, but a golden shell insect led the way.
In fact, he was quite puzzled, this insect took him all the way up the mountain, kept running, and the direction seemed to be the person heading towards Bishuitan in the middle of the night, how could he appear in the Bishuitan of the Tianshan faction The place where the bugs stopped was literally on a tree opposite the blue water pool.
At this time, Zhan Zhao had already seen two people sitting in the pavilion not far away.
One was dressed in a blue dress, very conspicuous, it was the blue fox I saw this morning, and the other, tall and thin, dressed in black, sat next to the blue fox, holding his chin with one hand and looking in his direction.
Although in the night, the man was also sitting in the dark corner of the pavilion that was not illuminated by the moonlight, but that pair of eyes were still extremely clear, and it was impossible to do it without supreme internal strength Zhan Zhao didn't say a word, and rushed directly to the pavilion.
The man in black smiled heartily, and opened his hands to catch it, but Zhanzhao didn't pounce on him, but ran behind him and pinched his ears, "What are you doing here?"
The man in black was grabbed by both ears and bared his teeth, "It hurts, it hurts."
Zhan Zhao let go of his hand and squinted at him, "Why are you here?"
The man in black flattened his mouth, "It's not human." ” Zhan Zhao was about to pinch his neck, but the man in black grabbed his wrist, touched it, and frowned, "Bao Zheng won't give you enough to eat if you lose weight."
"I don't know how much to eat" Zhanzhao withdrew his hand, grabbed the hair of the man in black and looked at it, put it down and sat down beside him, "Go home at dawn, don't stay here." ” "Why" the man in black was dissatisfied.
"It's in the way."
Zhanzhao grabbed the teacup in front of him and drank it.
"Why do you dislike your grandfather" The man in black leaned his head on Zhanzhao's arm, and rubbed his arm pitifully.
Through the moonlight, you can see that this "grandfather" not only has pale white hair, no wrinkles or crow's feet on his face, but on the contrary, his black hair is like a waterfall, and his face is also smooth and handsome, no matter how you look at it, he is only in his thirties.
It's just that it looks quite evil and domineering, especially the pair of falcon eyes, sharp and deep, of course, it is still relatively soft at this time.
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and pushed his face away, "Sit down" The man in black sat down, looking at Zhanzhao with a smile, his eyes were very connotative.
Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
"Oh."
The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth twitched, "The white-clothed kid who ran with you just took a look at it and left." ” Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned, looking at the white clothes on the mountain road, if Qinggong could keep up with him and not be discovered, it was only Bai Yutang, but he should be far away in order to avoid being discovered.
"Who," the man in black asked kindly, "good kung fu." ” "Uh" Zhanzhao hesitated for a moment, and immediately glanced at the blue fox, who shrugged his shoulders slightly to indicate that he hadn't told him about Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao immediately smiled perfunctorily, "Oh, a friend." ” "What's the name of your friend?"
The man in black was still staring at and asked, Zhan Zhao waved his hand and changed the topic, "What are you doing in Tianshan?"
The other party smiled slightly, "Aren't you looking for an old limelight, he went out and wasn't at home, and just his little footsteps, the daylily was cold when he came over, and I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here for him." ” Zhan Zhao frowned, "What's the use of you coming, I'll ask Old Man Feng about things." ” "Didn't you just ask the king's door about that?"
The man in black smiled faintly, "I know more than Lao Feng, this matter is complicated." ” "You know" Zhanzhao was surprised, "tell me" "Okay," the man in black nodded in agreement, "but I'm going to stay with you for a few days." ” "Why" Zhan Zhao looked unwilling.

"When I was about to go out, Chen Blind said that you will hit the peach blossoms recently, and my grandfather will check for you."
After the man in black finished speaking, he stood up, "But in order to avoid your trouble, don't call me grandpa in front of people, call me cousin." ” "Poof."
Zhanzhao squirted out a mouthful of tea, "It's more than a hundred years old, what are you pretending to be tender?"
The man in black shook his sleeves and swaggered down the mountain, beckoning to Zhan Zhao, "Zhao, I'm hungry, let's have supper."
Zhan Zhao hurriedly tugged on the blue fox's sleeve, "What's the matter?"
The blue fox was also helpless, "I don't know, the palace master in the middle of the night suddenly came, and said to let the worms look for you." ” Zhan Zhao was in a hurry, who was the man in black who came was none other than the famous Demon Palace Master, known as the world's first old devil Yin Hou.
Yin Hou, like Tianzun, is a prodigy who has practiced to the level of entering the demon and entering the immortal, although he is very old, his face is not old, and his youth is permanent.
I don't know how Tianzun shows off, but he knows his grandfather's temperament well, and he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this person doesn't have a lot of fun, so he won't go down the mountain.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhanzhao is the only cute pet of many old devils in the Demon Palace, and his grandfather is the head of all demons, teasing Zhanzhao is the only fun and supreme pursuit of his life, and there are endless tricks and tricks.
Zhanzhao now has such good patience and such a shrewd personality, which was "teased" by his grandfather.
When he thinks of the bits and pieces of his growing up, Zhanzhao often chokes his wrists, and his grandfather took advantage of his youth and ignorance to trick him into doing many humiliating things, and now he remembers it vividly.
Just looking at the northern shadow of Yin Hou wandering down the mountain, Zhan Zhao knew that he had to be more careful if he had any crooked moves this time.
At this time, in the Bai Mansion, after eating too much at night, he couldn't sleep and ran to the yard to walk and rub his belly by the way, when he saw a white shadow outside the wall coming in lightly.
Xiao Sizi just wanted to call "Ah Piao", but when he spit out the words on his lips, it became, "In vain" It was Bai Yutang who came in over the wall and landed in front of the eyes of the little fourth son.
At this time, Bai Yutang's good-looking brows frowned slightly, he was different from others, usually people frowned, and the folded places were in the center of the eyebrows, but Bai Yutang was frowning at the arch of his eyebrows, looking a little troubled but not so troubled, in short, Xiao Sizi could see that he had something on his mind.
"What's the matter" Xiao Sizi tugged on Bai Yutang's sleeve and sat down on the stone bench on the side.
Bai Yutang shook his head slightly and didn't speak.
Seeing that Bai Yutang was preoccupied, the fourth son climbed onto the stool, put his arm around him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Speaking of which, the entire Tianshan faction plus the large team of patrols in Kaifeng Mansion, everyone is afraid of two people, one is Bai Yutang and the other is Zhao Pu.
Compared with Zhao Pu, Bai Yutang is even more terrifying, because he doesn't speak coldly, but Xiao Sizi likes these two people very much, and he doesn't see them at all.
Bai Yutang looked at the movement of Xiao Sizi holding his arm and rubbing it, and asked in a low voice, "What does this represent?"
"Hmm" the little fourth son didn't quite understand.
Bai Yutang pointed at him, "This action." ” The little fourth son thought about it for a while, and then he understood, smiled, "Kiss" Bai Yutang touched his chin, "Kiss" "Ordinary people don't do that."
Bai Yutang muttered to himself.
"That's," the little fourth son nodded, "I like to be in the sauce purple."
Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, looking at the little fourth son in a daze, his expression was even more puzzled:
