Net permanent URL, please keep in mind After Wang Feng's case came to an end, Zhanzhao began to pack his bags and prepare to go to Hongying Village.
The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.
Originally, Zhan Zhao wanted to ask Lord Bao for a leave, and he and Bai Yutang took Yin Hou and Tianzun on a trip, but Master Bao asked him to wait for two days and said that he would go with him.
Mrs.
Bao also said that Zhanzhao had been taking care of Bao Yan and helping Master Bao a lot during her time in Kaifeng Mansion, and she wanted to visit his parents in Hongying Village.
So, when Master Bao went to court, he told Zhao Zhen that he wanted to continue the tour, Zhao Zhen readily agreed, and prepared some gifts for Bao Zheng to take to Hongying Village to Zhanzhao's parents.
Originally, Zhao Zhen was afraid that the Taishi would miss Xiangxiang, and after all, he was old, so he always let him run around, and Concubine Pang was also worried, so she wanted not to let him go this time.
Unexpectedly, the Taishi took the initiative to say that he wanted to go.
Zhao Zhen was slightly puzzled, but he didn't stop it, so he let everyone get ready, and then the sunrise patrol.
The time of this patrol is three months, Zhao Zhen asked everyone to come back before the New Year, so that after the New Year, Bao Yan can catch up with the spring exam, and he also told Bao Yan by the way, while investigating the case, he must also study hard, Lin Xiao has great expectations for him.
When he retreated, Master Bao glanced at Taishi Pang beside him and asked, "I said" Taishi looked up at Bao Zheng, "What are you doing?"
Bao Zheng hugged his arm, looked Taishi up and down, puzzled, "You actually took the initiative to follow" Taishi coughed, "Oops, no nonsense. ” Lord Bao raised his eyebrows, how weird got on the sedan chair, and Lord Bao ordered to go back to Kaifeng Mansion, and I heard the Taishi also say, "Go to Kaifeng Mansion." ” Bao Zheng opened the sedan curtain and looked at him, and wondered in his heart, I don't know when it started, Pang Ji and Pang Yu, father and son, went to Kaifeng Mansion more than home.
And at this time, Kaifeng Fu.
In the courtyard at the entrance of Zhanzhao, Gongsun took a large number of dragon pattern scrolls and put them on the stone table, this is an unsolved case in the prefecture and county near Hongying Village, since this time it is going in that direction, you can check these cases by the way.
"Cats."
The fourth son held a piece of osmanthus cake and picked up the knee of Zhanzhao, who was looking through the file, "Do the cat's father and mother live in Dazhai?"
Zhan Zhao pinched the peach-like cheeks of the little fourth son and nodded, "Yes." ” "Is it the king of the mountain?"
the little fourth son was very curious, "Is there a tiger skin gold chair?"
Zhan Zhao amused him, the little fourth son has been looking forward to taking a look at the tiger skin gold chair of the king of the mountain, and he also asked when he went to the Zhao Pu military camp before.
"There is no tiger skin gold chair, but there is a waterfall."
Zhan Zhao said with a smile.
"Is there a lot of cherry blossoms in the red cherry blossom village?"
asked the little fourth son curiously, "Aren't the cherry blossoms blooming in spring, my father and I have seen white cherry blossoms in Wuxi, and the cat's house is red?"
Zhan Zhao simply picked up the little fourth son and put it on his lap, and said to him, "The red cherry blossom village is actually not a red cherry blossom, just because the waterhole under the waterfall is full of red aquatic plants, and the trees in the forest near the waterfall are red leaves all year round. ” "Oh," the little fourth son nodded, "It turned out to be sauce purple." ” "Actually, it was originally called Hongyinzhai, because my mother's surname is Yin."
Zhan Zhao shook the little fourth son and said unhurriedly, "It's some half-understood Jianghu people who think that the village is full of red cherry blossoms, so they spread the word, and then they will be wrong." ” "What does the cat's mother look like?"
the little fourth son was curious.
Zhan Zhao thought about it, how to describe it, "My mother" Before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Yin Hou came over and muttered to the little fourth son, "It's fierce." ” The little fourth son was shocked that the fierce cat had such a good temper, how could it be that the mother was very fierce Zhan Zhao glanced at Yin Hou and rubbed the face of the little fourth son, "My mother is not fierce." ” Yin Hou twisted his face, obviously still embarrassed because he was brought to Kaifeng by Yin Lan porcelain before.
Tianzun leaned over, "Yin Lanci is grumpy, don't mess with her, it's a hundred times more grumpy than Lu Xue'er's strange girl." ” Yin Hou nodded to the side.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at Tianzun as if it was really fake "Yes" Zhanzhao thinks no, his mother is very good, although it is not the gentle and graceful one, but in terms of temper, it is not much different from Lu Xue'er "Your mother loves you so much, so naturally she hasn't lost her temper in front of you."
Yin Hou muttered.
"Yin Lan porcelain was also famous in the rivers and lakes back then."
Zhao Pu held his chin, as if he had heard of it, "I heard that she has infinite strength and deep internal strength, but she is not a heroine, and she has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes." ” Yin Hou concluded, "That's because no one dares to provoke her." ” Before Yin Hou finished speaking, Zhan Zhao grabbed his arm, so why do you say that about your daughter "Yin Lanci, that girl doesn't know who she looks like, she doesn't inherit Yin Hou's light skills, but she conjures up a strange power, and when that internal force leaks out, it's terrifying" Tianzun helped add oil and vinegar on the side, "Lu Xue'er's brutal girl is gentle compared to her." ” Everyone subconsciously glanced at Bai Yutang, as if expressing sympathy.
Bai Yutang was lying down leisurely reading the file, like that, not nervous at all.
"But in general, Lanci is still very reasonable."
Yin Hou felt that it was not good to portray her daughter as the image of the Great Demon King, so she went back around, "Whoever provokes her will be mad, and if she doesn't mess with her, she won't take the initiative to provoke others." ” Zhan Zhao also leaned over and said to Bai Yutang, "Don't worry, my mother can communicate."
Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes." ” Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned and looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang smiled.
Zhan Zhaohu looked at Bai Yutang's expression suspiciously, how did he think that this mouse looked confident.
While chatting, Bai Fu ran in, "Young Master, can you see this?"
Bai Yutang took a look, and saw that what Bai Fu brought in was a box of dried snow clams.
Gongsun leaned over and looked at it, picked up one and sniffed it, admiring, "Well, it's the best." ” Bai Yutang nodded, "Just want this, bring a few more boxes." ” "Okay."
Bai Fu took the box and ran away.
Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, "What are you doing with so many snow clams?"
Bai Yutang said, "Oh, my aunt seems to have had some coughs recently, and the weather is getting colder, it just so happens that my mother also said that her skin is dry two days ago, so bring them some snow clams." ” "Oh" Zhan Zhao nodded, then thought about it and asked Bai Yutang, "Who is Auntie?"
Bai Yutang smiled, "Naturally, it's your mother." ” Zhanzhao opened his mouth wide, "My mother coughed" "It's not a cough, maybe it's a little hot."

Bai Yutang held the teacup and said indifferently, "Uncle said that she was a little angry. ” Zhan Zhao was stunned for a long time and asked, "Who is uncle?"
Bai Yutang smiled, reached out and touched his head, "Naturally, it's your father." ” Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "When have you seen my father?"
"I haven't seen it, but it was mentioned in the letter."
"Which letter" Zhanzhao tilted his head, he received a few letters from his father and mother in total, and he didn't mention his mother's cough or anything.
"Just a few days ago."
Bai Yutang thought for a moment, "I don't remember which one." ” Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang with round eyes, and then asked uncertainly, "You guys, should there be any correspondence?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes." ” Zhanzhao opened his mouth wide again, "When did it start?"
Bai Yutang looked up and thought for a while, "Well, it's been a year."
Zhanzhao stood up "hoof", "You have been communicating with my father and mother for a year" Bai Yutang nodded and smiled, "Uncle and aunt are very easy to communicate. ” The others all turned their faces silently and went to their own places, feeling that it was estimated that there would be a fight in a while, but Zhanzhao opened his mouth wide for a long time, twisting his face and glaring at Yin.
Waiting for the sky.
Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Grandpa, you also know" Yin Hou scratched his chin, "Before I came, Lan Ci gave me a box of safflower tea for me to bring to Yutang." ” Bai Yutang nodded, "Well, it's the first time I've drunk this kind of tea." ” Zhan Zhao gasped and grabbed Bai Yutang, "What do you usually communicate with each other?"
Bai Yutang thought for a moment and said, "It's mostly about your recent situation and some interesting things." ” Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's interesting?"
"Well, it's just the little things."
Bai Yutang reached for the teacup.
Zhanzhao held down his teacup and squinted his eyes, "Small things such as" Bai Yutang was helpless, looked at Zhanzhao's hand pressing the cup, and said with a smile, "For example, a certain cat was a foodie when he was a child, and when he was three years old, he did not know how to pick the fruit on the treetops."
Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide.
Everyone touched their chins and showed their light skills, which turned out to be self-taught, and it was really a character Bai Yutang said seriously, "But cat, you actually did light work without a teacher in order to eat persimmons, you are really talented."
Zhan Zhao's eyes narrowed, staring at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang felt that Zhanzhao was about to blow up, so he was ready to slip away, "I'll go and see if there's anything else to prepare."
As soon as I turned around and wanted to leave, I felt a flutter behind me When Master Bao and Master Pang walked in, they saw Zhan Zhao pinching Bai Yutang's back and pinching his neck.
Taishi was taken aback, "Oh, the young people nowadays are really ah" Bao Zheng glanced at him, "What are you doing here?"
Mrs.
Bao came out to pick up Bao Zheng's official hat, and asked the Taishi to stay for dinner.
Taishi smiled cheekily and agreed.
Pang Yu was flipping through the file with Bao Yan, raised his face and asked his father, "Dad, why didn't you go back to Taishi's Mansion when you came?"
Taishi glanced at him and poked him in the head, "You still know that Taishifu, you will go home for me tonight to eat with your mother, you are not a filial son" Pang Yu rubbed his head and asked Bao Yan, "Hey, steamed buns, do you want to go to my house for dinner at night?"
Bao Yan thought for a while and asked, "What dish?"
"I'll let my fifth mother make plum vegetable button meat" Pang Yu said, "My fifth mother is from Shaoxing, and the plum vegetable button meat she makes is better than Taibaiju's" Bao Yan nodded and decided to go for dinner.
On the side, Zhan Zhao, who was pinching Bai Yutang, turned around and looked at the plum cabbage button meat Bai Yutang turned around, "Mao'er, your mother's letter also said that when you were a child, you ranked all the restaurants in Changzhou Mansion, and also said that the purpose of going out to travel the rivers and lakes was to rank the restaurants in the world."
The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched.
"So the real purpose of your stay in Kaifeng Mansion shouldn't be because" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Kaifeng Pavilion is the highest ranking" Zhan Zhao's face was pierced with resentment piercing his heart, and he continued to "torture" Bai Yutang.
The Taishi watched from the sidelines, laughing with everyone, and there was no sentence, as if he was absent-minded.
Zhao Pu and Gongsun glanced at each other, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who were making trouble, also glanced at each other.
Pang Yu put down the file in his hand and asked curiously, "Dad, you have something on your mind."
Master Pang was stunned.
On the side, Master Bao was taking the ginseng tea handed over by Mrs.
Bao, took a sip, and shook his head, "You said that you still have the face to be known as the number one traitor in the Great Song Dynasty, and you can't hide any worries." ” Taishi was stunned and opened his mouth wide, "The first traitor of the Great Song Dynasty" "Ahem."
Pang Yu waved his hand, "Dad, that was before, and it's much better now." ” "Oh," the master wondered, "what is that now?"
Master Bao leaned over with a ginseng teacup, "The first straw bag in the Great Song Dynasty." ” Taishi's eyes were round, and the straw bag was not as good as the feeling of a traitor Zhao Pu was happy on the sidelines, "Outsiders don't know about Taishi. ” Xiao Sizi reached out and rubbed Taishi's round belly, "Little Chubby is good for weight loss, it just so happens that I also want to lose weight, let's go together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun grabbed him and stuffed another piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, and the little fourth son held his cheeks and chewed his face as if it was rounder again.
The Taishi couldn't cry or laugh.
Master Bao went in and changed into civilian clothes and came out, sat down and asked the master, "Why are you going with you, aren't you better not to go out on patrol and stay with Xiangxiang in Kaifeng?"
When everyone heard this, they were also curious, Taishi, this is indeed a bit abnormal.
Master Pang sat down and thought about it, and asked, "What kind of red cherry village, is it near Yingtianfu?"
Yin Hou nodded, "Well, it's more than ten miles away from Ying Tianfu."

Because there are many mountain trails, it adds up to about an hour of walking for ordinary people. ” Zhan Zhao was curious, "Taishi, you want to go to Yingtianfu" "Uh" Master Pang hesitated, "Near Yingtianfu, there is a Xu County. ” Zhan Zhao and Yin Hou were both familiar with the fields around the Red Cherry Village, and nodded.
"Xu County is a very small county."
Zhan Zhao said, "But because it is the intersection of many official roads, there are a lot of businessmen coming and going." ” Taishi nodded, "When I was in my twenties, I was once sent to Yingtianfu to investigate a case. ” Everyone remembers that it was indeed mentioned before that Pang Taishi had been a guard in the court for a period of time, and then it seemed that he was transferred to the third division and stayed in Dali Temple for a while.
"Send you to investigate the case" Lord Bao thought for a while, "When you were in Dali Temple" "Hmm."
Taishi nodded, "It's been almost twenty years. ” Although Kaifeng Mansion is in charge of various criminal investigations, the Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty to investigate cases is not only Kaifeng Mansion, but also Sansi and Dali Temple.
Among them, the three divisions have a lot of fast catches, patrolling all over the year round, chasing down some court criminals and Jiangyang thieves.
And Dali Temple is basically in charge of cases related to officials, so "Which official are you checking" Master Bao also shook his head, Taishi had served in Dali Temple before, so he had a very accurate grasp of the bottom line of officials doing bad things, so far, at most, he has stepped on the line but never crossed the line, so he has nothing to do with him.
"Do you still remember the big case of the prefect of Tianfu who corrupted and killed many victims in the past" Taishi asked Bao Zheng, "This is the first major case of the emperor at that time?"
Lord Bao nodded, this case was a sensation back then.
The prefect of Ying Tianfu is a second-grade Dayuan, he is high and powerful, and there is also a part of the military power, and the Qinhuai area was originally rich, and it can be regarded as peaceful.
However, once there was a big flood in the Huai River, and the disaster relief money distributed by the imperial court was robbed by thieves, which led to the obstruction of disaster relief and the death of tens of thousands of victims.
At that time, this robbery shocked the government and the opposition, and the emperor was furious and ordered the old general Ouyang to lead his troops and horses to clear all the thieves in the Qinhuai area.
But after General Ouyang's secret visit, he learned that the bandits in the Qinhuai area not only did not rob this batch of disaster relief funds, but instead used their own money to help the disaster.
Moreover, at that time, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that this matter was stolen by the people in the yamen.
The thieves dare to rob everything, but no one dares to rob the disaster relief money, except for the fear of thunder and thunder, such a person will not be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future.
So, after some investigation, it was basically determined that it was the ghost of Liu Tian, the prefect of Yingtianfu at that time.
"Everyone has heard of the fact that the big corrupt official Liu Tian was corrected back then."
Zhao Pu asked, "What does it have to do with Xu County?"
"I was sent by Dali Temple to investigate the so-called pulling out of radishes and bringing out the mud from officials in other prefectures and counties around Tianfu, the biggest backers have fallen, and those monkeys naturally can't let go."
Taishi continued, "But after pouring Xu County, after investigation, the county order was very clean, so I was going back to Kaifeng, and when I was drinking in the courtyard with the county order that night, the county order told me one thing. ” Everyone looked at the Taishi with some curiosity.
Taishi frowned and said, "That county order may have drunk too much, and he told me that in the mountains near Yingtianfu, there is a red cherry valley. ” When everyone heard this, they all subconsciously looked at Zhan Zhao and waited.
Zhan Zhao scratched his head and looked at Yin Hou.
Yin Hou thought about it and shook his head, saying that he had never heard of it.
Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "Why is it called Red Cherry Valley and Red Cherry Village?"
Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Do you remember what I told you, there are a lot of red aquatic plants growing in the waterhole under the waterfall?"
Bai Yutang nodded.
"That kind of red aquatic weed, from the surface of the water, is indeed very similar to the fiery red cherry blossoms under the water, this kind of aquatic grass is a special product of the mountains near the red cherry village, as long as there is water, there is basically this red aquatic grass."
Everyone nodded.
Bai Yutang asked, "In other words, as long as there is water at the bottom of the ravine and this kind of aquatic grass, any valley may be the Red Cherry Blossom Valley."
Zhan Zhao nodded, "Probably, you can ask my mother." ” "What's wrong with this Red Cherry Valley?"
asked Master Bao.
Taishi said, "The county order told me that there is a skull pit in the Red Cherry Valley. ” Everyone was stunned.
"What pit?"
asked Bao Yan.
"Looks like a skeleton," Pang Yu also asked.
Taishi shook his head and said, "In that pit, there are at least hundreds of skulls, and they only have heads, no bodies. ” Everyone was stunned, for a long time, Pang Yu said, "That county order is drunk and talking nonsense."
Everyone nodded.
Taishi smiled, "When I first heard it, I thought the same way, but later, the county magistrate told me that there was a monster in the Red Cherry Valley."
"Suppressed" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "The meaning of the seal" "Hmm."
Taishi nodded, "Once that monster is released, it will cause chaos in the world." ” The crowd was silent for a long time, and then they all laughed.
Zhao Pu patted Pang Ji, "Taishi, almost every place will have this kind of legend. ” Bai Yutang also nodded.
Master Bao looked at Pang Ji, "You've seen some of the market, there's no reason to be fooled by this kind of trick."
"If it's just a legend, I naturally won't pay attention to it when he talks about it at first, and I also laugh when he is drunk."
Taishi was helpless and said, "But that night, I had a dream. ” Everyone was puzzled.
"In the dream, there was a man with feathers, trapped in a dark valley surrounded by many chains, surrounded by blood-like horrible flowers, and under the feet of that man were skulls, densely covered with several layers.

It was probably the scariest dream I've ever had in my life."
"And then" Although everyone didn't believe it, they were very interested in the dream of the Taishi.
"The man was struggling, the chains rattling, and he was begging me."
Taishi slowed down his speech, "He said that his name is Evil Yu, and he has been imprisoned for more than two hundred years, let me let him out, he doesn't want to wait another twenty years to see the light of day again, he is so hungry and wants to eat people." ” Everyone frowned, and the little fourth son climbed on Bai Yutang's leg nearby and drilled into his arms.
"Think about it day and dream at night," Zhan Zhao asked.
Taishi nodded, "I thought so too, and when I woke up the next morning, I casually asked the county magistrate, when I was drunk last night, what was the name of the monster in the town in the Red Cherry Blossom Valley."
He told me that he had never seen it, but he had heard a legend that it was a man with feathers, called Evil Feather. ” The crowd was amazed.
Taishi was helpless, "I also had this expression at the time, but the county order later comforted me and said, "It is said that the monster was sealed in the mountains by an immortal two hundred years ago and could not get out." ” Everyone tilted their heads to look at Ponji.
After a long time, Bai Yutang asked, "Is it that county order is a ghost, and the design is to deceive you?"
Taishi smiled, "I thought so too, but not long after I returned to Kaifeng Mansion, I heard that the county order was gone." ” "What" everyone was surprised, "gone" Taishi nodded, "His wife found a long, long feather in his room, but he never appeared again.
But he only disappeared, and there was no body, so the court dismissed him and sent a new official to take over. ” "Didn't you check it at the time," Zhao Pu asked.
Taishi smiled bitterly, "It's too late for me to go back to Kaifeng Mansion and climb up, who can control these things, but what?"
"Still."
Master Bao helped him continue, "This blink of an eye, it's been exactly twenty years, isn't it?"
Taishi nodded.
The crowd looked at each other and said that he would come out in twenty years
