Zhan Zhao moved the curious group of people in front of him, jumped off the roof of the Meow Tower, and gently landed on the stone table beside Bai Yutang, picked up the little fourth son, sat down and put it on his lap.
Seeing Bai Yutang looking at himself, Zhan Zhao said, "That is the young owner of the Golden and Silver Pavilion, Geng Tianren." ” Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Where is the Golden and Silver Pavilion?"
Zhan Zhao blinked and looked at Bai Yutang with a little surprise, "Haven't you heard?"
Bai Yutang shook his head.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin and said to himself in confusion, "Oh, I thought they were quite famous." ” "Jianghu Sect" Bai Yutang asked, "It looks like the kung fu is not bad." ” "The sect is quite new, and it has only been established for about three or four years."
Zhan Zhao said, "The Golden and Silver Pavilion is the kind of place where he will help you do things if you give money, of course, on the surface, he will not do anything illegal and undisciplined, but no one knows what the situation is in private." ” Bai Yutang nodded, but still looked at Zhanzhao, because he felt that Jiang Tianren's attitude towards Zhanzhao seemed to be different, and the two were very familiar.
Zhan Zhao didn't ask much when he saw Bai Yutang, but his expression could still be seen to be a little curious, so he didn't take the initiative to say, waited for him to ask, and held his chin to talk to him about something else.
Bai Yutang has always been cold in other people's words, but in Zhanzhao's words, he is too shy, so Zhanzhao looked at him who wanted to ask but was embarrassed to open his mouth and was secretly happy.
Meow meow and the other people on the upper floor also fell into the courtyard, Yin Hou shook his head and looked at Zhan Zhao, the thief cat bullied the honest people, and Bai Yutang usually indulged him everywhere.
The little fourth son who was sitting on Zhanzhao's lap suddenly raised his face and asked Zhanzhao, "Who is that cat?"
Zhan Zhao blinked and looked down at the little fourth son.
Xiao Sizi tilted his head, "Does he seem to be friends with you very well?"
The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth moved, and he looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang held the teacup and drank tea calmly, and the little fourth son asked you.
Zhan Zhao pinched the cheeks of the little fourth son, "It's just a general acquaintance, and ah, you remember that kind of person is the face of a kidnapping child, don't believe his words, you know?"
"Hmm."
Xiao Sizi nodded seriously, tilted his head and continued to ask, "Then how did you two meet, how long have you known each other, do you see him on weekdays?"
Zhanzhao couldn't cry or laugh, and the little fourth son had a lot of problems.
"When I first came to Kaifeng, the Golden and Silver Pavilion had just been established, and the new sect had no rules, so I had a lot of dealings with him at that time.
He is very well-informed, has many connections, and has the clues I need to solve the case.
In addition, when he first arrived, it was inevitable that there would be conflicts with the local gangs.
However, this person is cunning and cunning, every time he asks the yamen to come forward to solve troubles, and by the way, he can also use the government to eliminate hostile expansion forces, and he is a calculating person.
Zhan Zhao said, and touched the head of the little fourth son, "This person is not profitable, he will definitely not remind me for no reason, such as offending Tianbao, it is definitely profitable, but it is also a clue."
I don't have much to do with him, and I think he's very, very unpleasant.
After speaking, Zhan Zhao also tilted his head and asked the little fourth son, "Are you satisfied?"
Xiao Sizi blinked, turned his face and tilted his head to look at Bai Yutang, and said with a smile, "Satisfied" Bai Yutang was slightly embarrassed, put down the teacup and reached out to touch his ears gently, then stood up and looked at the sky, "It's not early, go to sleep." ” After saying that, I went back to the house in a relaxed mood.
Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing when he looked at him, and turned around to pinch the cheeks of the little four, and the little guy was still looking at the mouse.
The little fourth son rubbed his cheeks on both sides, squinted his eyes, and looked at Zhanzhao, and the cat would bully him in vain Zhan Zhao scratched his chin in embarrassment and teased him.
Xiao Sizi hugged Zhanzhao with his hand, "Cat, I'm going to sleep in your house tonight." ” Zhan Zhao estimated that the little fourth son was still scared because he saw something unclear, so he nodded and carried him into the house.
Mi Mi and Xiao Wu also followed Zhanzhao Bai Yutang into the house.
The rest of the people had no words and dispersed.
After Gongsun came back, he found that the little fourth son was not there, so he went to Zhanzhao's room to take a look, and the little fourth son had already fallen asleep with the quilt around Zhanzhao's arm, and Gongsun had no choice but to go back to sleep by himself But Zhao Pu was not there, Gongsun turned around the house and felt so "lonely", he didn't feel sleepy, so he simply ran to the library pavilion.
Sure enough, Bao Yan and Pang Yu both read at night, and Gongsun moved a ladder to climb up to the second floor of the study, looking for some ancient books about the island that no one has read all year round, trying to find any clues about the evil pot island.
In the palace, Zhao Zhen listened to Zhao Pu and Bao Zheng talk about Evil Hudao Island, frowned slightly, touched his chin, "Evil Hudao Island" "Did anyone raise monsters on any island sixty years ago?"
Zhao Pu asked, "Does your father or my father have this hobby?"
Zhao Zhen was quite embarrassed, he was younger than Zhao Pu, who knew about this, so he asked Gonggong Chen.
Gonggong Chen shook his head, but at the same time he clapped his hands lightly and said, "The old slave remembered something. “ All three looked at him.
Chen Gong said fairly, "When the old slave was a child, I heard several county kings in the palace talk about another rumor about the Xingtian number back then. ” "Another rumor," Zhao Pu was curious.
"Although there are different opinions about the reason for the sinking of the Xingtian, one thing is basically certain, that is, the ship is carrying soldiers."
Chen Gonggong said.
Zhao Zhen and Zhao Pu both nodded, the warship is naturally a soldier.
"But when the old slave listened to the conversation between the two county kings, he said that the ship was actually full of more than 5,000 prisoners."
"Prisoner" Zhao Zhen was surprised, "Why are you pretending to be so many prisoners?"
"Specifically, they seem to be war criminals, nobles and captured soldiers from different races in the south, and it seems that they were sent to sea with the intention of leaving them on a desert island to fend for themselves or something."
Chen Gong said fairly, "The old slave was too young back then, standing next to the county kings and pouring wine for them, and they said a word to me, so I listened to a general idea, but they didn't say exactly what island it was."

Then talking about the sinking of the Xingtian, they laughed and said that they were punished by God, and they were quite happy.
Although the old slave was young at the time, he was very disgusted that the two of them laughed at such a miserable thing, so he didn't listen to it, and found an opportunity to slip away. ” "Which two county kings, are they still alive?"
asked Zhao Zhen.
Gonggong Chen shook his head helplessly, "It's been many years since he passed away. ” Zhao Zhen frowned, but his curiosity was aroused, and he estimated that he would not be able to sleep well tonight, so he said to Zhao Pu, "If you find that old man tomorrow, if you ask for clues, remember to tell me." ” Zhao Pu nodded.
While talking, Nangong Ji came, holding in his hand the map of the suspected "Xingtian" hull that he had shown to Zhao Pu and them before, and which was currently being salvaged.
"Your Majesty, the minister has looked for a few famous boatmen, and they all said that the shape and structure are very similar to the legendary Xingtian, but it feels a little smaller, and a ship of this size is now also made, and it can only carry one or two thousand people at most, it may be a kind of ship."
"Sample boat" Zhao Pu touched his chin, "It means to build a small boat before preparing to build a big ship" Nangong Ji nodded, "That's what the boatmen said. ” "Hmm," Zhao Pu nodded, "Could it be that the one on Evil Pot Island is the real Xingtian, and how did such a big ship run into the rift?"
"Could it be that when the tide is high, I drove in, and the low tide ran aground there, and I couldn't get out," Bao asked, "Later, it may be an earthquake or other reasons, the tide no longer enters the rift, and finally the fallen leaves accumulate and become what it is today?"
Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen both felt that it was possible, but at the same time there was another puzzle "There is something tied to the other end of such a thick chain" Zhao Pu couldn't help but ask, "How big is the chain with such thick monster legs, the monster tiger and lion are definitely not necessary, and the bolt does not need such a thick iron chain."
"And that thing obviously eats people, but it doesn't eat people."
Zhao Zhen, as a true dragon emperor, has always loved him deeply, and there is a small wood carving given to him by the fourth son of the dragon book.
Staring at the wood carving for a while, Zhao Zhen suddenly frowned slightly, and then spoke, "If that ship is the Xingtian, how many years ago would it have been on the island, what kind of monster has a long life, and if it is said that it is 10,000 steps back, even if it really happened sixty years ago, maybe it is all dead now." ” Zhao Pu and Bao Zheng both subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhen's words Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "I just want the wind and rain to be smooth recently, you investigate the case and investigate the case, and those strange and chaotic things in the early years are still put aside."
As he spoke, he pointed at Bao Zheng, "Aiqing is preparing for the spring exam."
He pointed at Zhao Pu again, "Uncle Nine is in charge of the training of the navy, low-key, low-key" Zhao Pu and Master Bao frowned slightly, was the emperor upset by the previous cases This time Xingtian and the matter of sending prisoners to Evil Hudao were widely involved, and it was indeed possible to pull out something irrelevant.
However, I don't know if it's an illusion that Zhao Zhen seems to have suddenly remembered something, and temporarily changed his mind and asked them not to investigate the matter of Evil Hudao Island The two of them were helpless, and they also felt that they should be busy with the things in front of them first, and the case should be handed over to Zhanzhao Bai Yutang for investigation.
Wait for Zhao Pu and Bao Zheng to leave.
Zhao Zhen stood up, walked out of the study, and turned around twice in the garden with his hands behind his back, as if he had something on his mind.
After all, Nangong Ji has been following Zhao Zhen for a long time, and he knows his character very well, although Evil Hudao is a desert island, it should belong to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and if someone slaughters so many people at once, Zhao Zhen will inevitably be furious.
In addition, feeding monsters with prisoners will also make Zhao Zhen unhappy, why didn't he get angry, he even hid his curiosity, there should be a reason here.
Zhao Zhen turned his hands behind his back and stopped at the end, Nangong stood beside him and asked, "The emperor doesn't want to investigate the matter of Evil Hudao."
Zhao Zhen shook his head, "I suddenly remembered something just now, and I don't know how to talk to Bao Qing and Uncle Jiu. ” Nangong Ji was puzzled, "What about Evil Pot Island?"
Zhao Zhen frowned, beckoned to Nangong, the two returned to the study, and Zhao Zhen motioned for Nangong to close the door.
Nangong Ji closed the door and returned to the desk, and saw Zhao Zhen rummaging through the cabinets and looking for something.
Nangong hurriedly helped him move the box, and finally Zhao Zhen found something from the box where his father's relics were stored.
Nangong Ji was a little puzzled, what Zhao Zhen took out was a stone, like an ordinary rock, the kind of angular stone that is very common on the side of the stream and river, half of which is a spar and half is a rock.
Nangong looked at Zhao Zhen who was frowning and sitting in front of the dragon book case, staring at the stone in a daze.
Zhao Zhen looked at the stone without blinking, and finally raised his head.
Nangong Ji really couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Zhao Zhen looked at him and said, "When I was a child, I once stepped on this stone by the river in the palace, and my foot slipped and broke. ” Nangong Ji blinked, what does this have to do with the case "My father was with me at the time."
Zhao Zhen continued, "He picked up this stone, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly said to me, sure enough, this shape is dangerous." ” Nangong Ji was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the shape of the stone, which is a stone with a whole half of a goose egg shape, the rock structure below is relatively flat, the upper side is convex, the white spar is intricate, and in the middle, there is a crack, which almost divides the whole stone into two.
Zhao Zhen took the stone and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but my father gave me this stone very seriously and asked me to put it away, saying that if you see a stone of the same shape, don't approach it." ” Nangong Ji frowned, "I'm afraid that the emperor will hurt again, it's not like the character of the previous emperor?"
"There's one more sentence to come."
Zhao Zhen smiled faintly, "The most dangerous thing is still such an island." ” "Island" Nangong frowned.
"Do you know what this kind of island is called?"
asked Zhao Zhen.
Nangong shook his head.
"Father said that this kind of island is called Beast Clip Island."
Zhao Zhen said.
"Beast clip" Nangong had an epiphany, "Well, the shape does look like a trap for hunting." ” "Beast Clip Island" Zhao Zhen muttered to himself, "Evil Pot Island is Beast Clip Island" "What kind of place is Beast Clamp Island" Nangong was confused.
Zhao Zhen was angry, raised his hand and patted his head, "Amnesiac you" Nangong was patted, suddenly remembered, and exclaimed, "Ah" Zhao Zhen glared at him, and Nangong hurriedly swallowed the words behind him.
Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and touched his chin and frowned, "It's really troublesome this time":
