Chapter 688 [Scholar]


In the palace in the afternoon, Zhao Zhen was sitting in the pavilion, and Xiangxiang was sitting on a stone table beside him, holding a piece of colored paper.

Gonggong Chen sat beside her, studying a blue paper kite that had been folded by the Queen Mother with her.

Zhao Zhen leaned against the pillars of the pavilion and looked at the few koi swimming in the lake.

At this time, Nangong walked in and whispered a few words in Zhao Zhen's ear.

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised, "There is such a thing" Nangong nodded.

"Does Uncle Nine know?"

asked Zhao Zhen.

"General He has already sent someone to inform the prince, and it is estimated that he will arrive today."

Nangong replied.

"Hmm," Zhao Zhen touched his chin, "It's interesting." ” Nangong looked at Zhao Zhen puzzled.

Zhao Zhen raised his face and looked at the sky above the garden, "I haven't been to Black Wind City yet, I heard that it has been built very well." ” Nangong felt that his eyelids were twitching, and he looked at Zhao Zhen cautiously, "The emperor shouldn't be thinking?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and asked, "Let's go to the north to play?"

Nangong gasped, and said in his heart Don't do it, what's the fun Zhao Zhen touched his chin and said to himself, "How convenient it is to let Uncle Huang send it back and send it back" While speaking, Xiangxiang ran to Zhao Zhen with a folded paper kite, climbed on his knees and asked, "Father, where are you going to play?"

Zhao Zhen held Xiangxiang's face and said, "My baby princess hasn't seen heavy snow yet."

Xiangxiang's eyes widened, "Heavy snow" Zhao Zhen rubbed his daughter and told her how spectacular the heavy snow in the northwest was, and Xiangxiang, who had never even come out of the palace gate, opened her mouth wide when she heard it, and looked at Zhao Zhen expectantly.

Nangong and Gonggong Chen glanced at each other, and both sighed helplessly.

At this time, in a small teahouse at a post station not far from the gate of Kaifeng, a few people came.

These people are all wearing Gaohezhai clothes, with black yarn wrapped around their arms, and the first two are not young, they are the four major disciples of Gaohezhai who have just lost their junior brother, senior brother Chen Mo and second senior brother Yue Mingming.

These two people had gloomy faces, Qian Tongqian's death was sudden, and the body was taken away by Kaifeng Mansion in the name of investigating the case, and even a mourning hall could not be set up.

"This Kaifeng Mansion is also domineering" Yue Ming found a chair to sit down, poured himself a glass of wine, and said dissatisfiedly.

Chen Mo looked at him and reminded, "After all, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are Tianzun and Yin Hou in Kaifeng Mansion, which is not easy to offend, even the emperor saw it that day, which can be regarded as an eye-opener." ” "The emperor is young, and he feels that he has a lot of eyes."

Yue Tomorrow is not happy, "In addition, Tianzun and Yin Hou have not seen each other, and besides, there are so powerful people who are more than a hundred years old."

"Tsk" Chen Mo glared at him, "I don't know how thick the sky is." ” Yue will hold his breath tomorrow.

"Wouldn't it be better to have Kaifeng Mansion investigate the death of the third child, no matter who killed the third child, he can't escape the responsibility."

Chen Mo picked up the teacup, "Let's wait for the result to pay for our lives, it doesn't matter if it's our hand or not."

"Then you can't say that" Yue Ming muttered, but he felt that what the eldest brother said made sense, so he didn't reply much.

"But Master doesn't know where to go."

Chen Mo was worried.

Yue Ming looked at the left and right sides, and found that in addition to sitting under the gate of Gaohezhai at the door, there was only one guest in the entire post station, it was a young scholar, who looked thin, sitting at the table drinking tea, without a blade, and a small burden on the table.

He was drinking tea with his back to them, and he shouldn't have heard what they were saying.

Yue Tianming lowered his voice and asked Chen Mo, "Big brother, do you think Master will be?"

"Alas" Chen Mo shook his head, "Impossible, how could something happen if Master has such a high martial arts attainment?"

"No matter how high a master is, he can't stand the sneak attack of someone he trusts, isn't it" Yue Tianming didn't finish speaking, he saw Chen Mo wave his hand and glared at him fiercely.

Yue Tianming pouted dissatisfiedly, "Gaohe Village has been monopolized by Bian Fangrui and his gang for so many years, I originally thought that the position of the owner of the village belonged to him, who knew that he would compete in martial arts, there have been so many troubles recently, but his side is unharmed, and it has nothing to do with them, I don't believe it." ” Chen Mo held the teacup, "Bian Fangrui is just a brave and unscrupulous second ancestor, what he really needs to worry about is Bai Mutian." ” Yue Ming frowned, "Bai Mutian let the emperor expose his mind of wanting to be the owner of the village before, with a person as careful as Bian Fangrui, he will leave him with a ghost." ” "He's actually a talent."

Chen Mo said, "If you leave Bian Fangrui, it will be a good thing to help us." ” "You believe him" Yue Ming shook his head, "This person is unpredictable, big brother, you should be careful" While he was talking, an entourage came over and said to Chen Mo, "Senior brother, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are coming here. ” Chen Mo and Yue Tomorrow glanced at each other, why did they come At this time, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang did go out of the city gate and walked in the direction of the official road.

What are they doing out of town?

After Qian Tongqian's murder happened before, there were no clues, and the two of them spent a few nights in Kaifeng Mansion, and the female ghost did not come out again.

So the two of them went outside the city to see if they could meet the old lady who touched the porcelain.

Of course, you can't rely on Zhanzhao to try your luck, you can only pick up corpses by him, so they also brought Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi.

Xiao Wu carried Xiao Sizi and followed the two of them, Xiao Liangzi walked beside Xiao Wu, followed by Lin Yehuo who was yawning.

These people didn't plan to enter the inn, but when they walked near the inn, they were first attracted by a horse tied to the door of the inn.

It was a well-proportioned white horse, with a snow-white body and a medium size, with a red saddle and a very particular horse.

It's just that such a beautiful white horse, from the neck to the chest, has three very long scars, although the wounds have long healed, but it still makes people feel shocking.

Everyone looked at the energetic horse, and then at the three scars, guessing that the horse might have been attacked by wild beasts when he was a child, and he didn't die, leaving scars.

The horse was drinking water, looked up at the crowd, blinked with big eyes, looked a little curious, flicked its tail, and continued to drink with its head down.

From the eyes of this horse, everyone can see that it is not only a good horse, but also a smart horse.

Zhan Zhao saw a silver stick hanging from the saddle, and he was a little puzzled that the stick was about five feet long, a little shorter than Bai Yutang's long knife, but it had no blade or point, just a long pole the thickness of a thumb.

The silver pole has a hollow pattern of fish scales and waves, and it spirals down the pole, one end of the pole is slightly thicker, which should be a grip, and the other end is very thin, and the chopsticks are a little bit.

Zhan Zhao studied the rod as he walked, and said in his heart What is this fishing rod for, how tiring it is for someone to make a fishing rod with a metal rod Zhan Zhao looked vigorously in the direction of the post station, so he saw Chen Mo and Yue Ming in the post station at a glance.

With a slight touch of his arm against Bai Yutang, Zhanzhao said, "Drink a cup of tea and leave." ” Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo, who was yawning, looked into the post station, and they also walked in.

When the guy saw that a guest had arrived, he cleaned up the table, and Zhan Zhao entered the door and bowed his hand to Chen Mo and Yue Mingming, "Condolences change." ” The two old men got up and returned the salute and asked Zhanzhao about the progress of the case.

Zhanzhao said that he was still investigating, the autopsy had ended, and Gongsun had not destroyed the body, and if necessary, he could send the body to another courtyard and let them set up a mourning hall to pay respects.

The two old men nodded and thanked them, and asked their subordinates to immediately go to Kaifeng Mansion to pick up the bodies of their third senior brothers.

The post station was not big, there were only four tables, and three were already occupied, so Zhanzhao and the others had to sit on the table opposite the scholar who was drinking tea with his back to the door.

The little fourth son climbed onto the table and was attracted by the scholar opposite.

The scholar looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with some pale moles on his white skin, and his appearance was delicate and elegant, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Sizi tilted his head to look at the scholar, but the scholar didn't look at him, but looked in the direction of the other side with a teacup, as if he was in a daze.

Xiao Sizi tilted his head and looked at the man's eyes, which were dark brown, similar to most people's, except that the pupils of his eyes seemed to be larger than others, so the color of his eyes also appeared darker.

The little fourth son was looking intently, and the man also turned his face and looked at the little fourth son.

Xiao Sizi blinked, Xiao Liangzi gently pulled his sleeve, and whispered, "Jin'er, you know that person" Xiao Sizi shook his head.

Xiao Liang said, "Then don't stare at people like this." ” The little fourth son scratched his head, sat down obediently, and glanced at the scholar again.

Zhan Zhao also glanced at the scholar, the horse at the door should not be from Gaohezhai, so the "fishing rod" is the scholar's Lin Yehuo held the teacup and asked Chen Mo, "Has your owner found it?"

Chen Mo shook his head.

Lin Yehuo asked, "How many days have it been, and there is no news at all."

Chen Mo and Yue sighed tomorrow.

Bai Yutang didn't speak, but he glanced at the scholar twice.

Zhan Zhao was also the same as Bai Yutang, he was a little concerned about the scholar, because he found that the scholar was listening to them.

"Zhan-sama."

At this time, Chen Mo opened his mouth and asked, "Have you ever thought that the murderer of my third brother may be inside Gaohe Village." ” As soon as Chen Mo spoke, Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, "Do you have any suspicions from your predecessors?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "My third brother usually doesn't have any enemies, I really can't think of outsiders wanting to kill him."

But if you really want to investigate the case in Kaifeng Mansion, you can go to Gaohe Village to find clues. ” "Said Gaohe Village."

Zhan Zhao suddenly asked, "Do you know why your village owner likes kapok so much?"

Chen Mo was slightly stunned, obviously surprised by Zhanzhao's question.

After all, he was one of the apprentices who had been with Bian Sheng for the longest time, so he nodded and said, "When I followed my master, he already liked kapok, and all the places where he lived must be planted with kapok, saying that this flower can keep him safe." ” Zhanzhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang shook his head, although he also studied flowers a little, he had never heard of the saying that kapok could still keep him safe.

"Where are you two going?"

asked Lin Yehuo.

Yue Ming said, "Let's go out of the city to find out if there is a clue to whether there is a master." ” While they were chatting, they heard a scream outside.

The guy who was standing at the door to give Maga fodder seemed to see something terrible, and shouted inside, "Zhan Daren" There was no need for him to shout, Zhanzhao had already flashed out.

There are many post house tea sheds on this official road, and there are many people coming and going, and at this time, the carriages and horses in front of them are running towards this side as if fleeing.

Zhan Zhao jumped onto a tea shed and looked into the distance, speechless, he saw two black-clothed men wearing golden ghost faces behind the crowd, attacking passers-by with swords
