31 [The devil is coming](1/2)

In the evening, Lao Gao's file was piled up in the Bai Mansion yard. Gongsun searched carefully to check the clues about the "Kingmen hidden weapon" twenty years ago.

Although the prefect of Xizhou Prefecture was too enthusiastic, the files were sorted out very clearly and they paid attention to protection on weekdays and were not eaten by insects. Gongsun still admired him very much.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were waiting aside, and the little Sizi lay on the pile of files, looking through with relish with her two little feet.

"Is the surname Wang?" Gongsun seemed to have found a volume related, so he asked Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang.

Both nodded.

"Well..." Gongsun flipped over, "It's probably this volume."

Zhan Zhao took it, frowned slightly, "Remaining Scroll?"

"Many pages were torn off." Gongsun had long discovered the suspicious point, "All the files here are clean and clear, but this volume was torn off for several pages.

Zhan Zhao looked carefully and found that it was a family tree, with thick stacks of names.

"So thick?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"The Wang family is a local prominent family and was very prosperous in his early years." Bao Zheng came over, "but later the family fell into thin air until Wang Youcheng's generation was destroyed."

"Wang Youcheng..." Bai Yutang murmured to himself, "Wang Youcheng has achieved nothing?"

"I have heard this statement, too." Zhan Zhao also remembered, "If Wang Youcheng said, he was not unknown in the world, but it seems that he is famous not because he can make hidden weapons, but because he is afraid of his wife."

Bai Yutang nodded slightly - it seems that he had heard similar rumors.

"I'm afraid that my wife has something to spread?" Gongsun didn't quite understand. "There are too many people in the world who are afraid of my wife, why do you say that he has accomplished nothing?"

"This is a bit special." Zhan Zhao said, "Many people in the martial arts world are afraid of their wives, but Wang Youcheng is not only afraid of their wives, but also rely on their wives."

Zhao Pu listened interestingly, "What does it mean to rely on your wife? Is he a stingy person?"

"Wang Youcheng is said to be very honest by nature. Although the weapons he made are exquisitely crafted, they have almost no lethality. They can be used as decoration but not as weapons. His ancestors have been hidden weapons in all generations. In his generation, they almost broke down their business and became a laughing stock in the world." Bai Yutang said, "But fortunately, they married a powerful wife."

"Oh..." Ouyang Shaozheng understood, "Is his wife better at making weapons than him?"

"No." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "his wife is not good at making weapons, but her personality is vicious and very sinister. She added poison to the hidden weapons made by Wang Youcheng, or set up some sinister mechanisms to increase the lethality of Wang Youcheng's hidden weapons by several levels."

"So famous... you said you hadn't heard of it before?" Ouyang was curious.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "But he has never heard of his participation in the assassination and was later destroyed!"

Bai Yutang also nodded. Wang Youcheng's low position in the world is nothing more than a joke. He really has no more fame. It is indeed a bit strange why the big thing about the assassination of the family has not spread!

Zhan Zhao finished reading the files of Wang Youcheng's case in detail and said in surprise, "They all torn away seem to be related to Wang Youcheng's wife."

Bai Yutang took the file and flipped it out, "Even his wife's surname and genealogy were torn away."

Bao Zheng asked the prefect of Laixizhou to ask him why the file was damaged. The prefect was also surprised. He had always kept the file well and had to check and clean it every six months. The most recent repair of the old book file was even filled with the holes. He did not find any missing pages.

The prefect said that this volume of the document was torn up within half a year.

This is strange, why did you tear off the content of Wang Youcheng’s wife? Could it be that there is any mystery? In addition, as today’s case of the Shan Sect, it is really as Blue Fox said, because of the grudges of that year?

Bao Zheng immediately sent someone to check the clues about the Wang family back then.

...

In the evening, Biantianshan sent people to find Bai Yutang.

"Tomorrow's martial arts competition?" Bai Yutang was a little puzzled when he heard the purpose of the Tianshan Sect's disciple. "Just compete for martial arts competition, why are you looking for me?"

The little apprentice whispered, "President Lu Feng said that the Tianshan Sect has suffered heavy losses recently, and someone may cause trouble for us, so I want to ask the Grand Master to take charge."

Bai Yutang frowned and didn't say anything.

Zhan Zhao heard it aside and was very curious, "No matter how much the Tianshan Sect is, it is the largest sect in the martial arts world. The top ten masters have lost a few of them, but most of them are left. Who is so bold to provoke?"

The little apprentice seemed a little hesitant.

Bai Yutang saw some clues and spoke, "Tell me clearly."

The little apprentice told Bai Yutang, "It turns out that I don't know what's wrong now. Many enemies from the Tianshan Sect came, and it seems that they want to take advantage of this crisis to join forces to find the Tianshan Sect bad luck. In addition, there are many big gangs in the martial arts world, as if they want to see the Tianshan Sect defeat the Tianshan Sect and then steal the throne of the world's number one sect. The head of Lu Feng said that the situation is quite dangerous, and he is afraid that something big will not be suppressed. At that time, the achievements of the Tianshan Sect will be destroyed in his hands."

Bai Yutang heard a little tooth pain, "What a great achievement, isn't it just a sect? It's not a way to save the people."

Zhao Pu was so happy to listen.

The little disciple was embarrassed, "Uncle Master, if you lose, wouldn't you lose face to the Heavenly Lord?"

Bai Yutang frowned, and he became annoyed when he thought of these fights in the world.

Zhan Zhao gently touched him with his arm - guess is the murderer?

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned.

"When will the competition start tomorrow?" Bai Yutang asked.

The little apprentice breathed a sigh of relief, "Tomorrow will start early tomorrow. It was originally just a competition for one's own martial arts, and there were few people watching the ceremony, but whether those sects would come to provoke and when will they come, it is unknown what specific."

Bai Yutang signaled that he knew and asked his little apprentice to go back.

At this time, Zhao Pu leaned against the table and said to himself, "Is it better to go to Bishui Pond to catch Qilin, or to see people and compete..."

Gongsun glanced at him, "Are you still thinking about that Qilin?"

"That's it." Zhao Pu touched his chin.

"But the scale knife has proved that it is just a hidden weapon, and the Qilin may not exist, and it may be a big fish." Gongsun splashed cold water on him.

"Tsk tsk." Zhao Pu shook his head, which seemed to say--No! There must be something in the water!

Gongsun and Xiao Sizi looked at each other. Zhao Pushen was mysterious and seemed to be calculating something.

Bai Yutang suddenly asked Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Who is the best watery person in the Demon Palace?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "That's a lot, but the best one should be me..." He suddenly paused.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows - Which senior is yours? It doesn’t look like you are good at water!

Zhan Zhao was dismayed - can you tell it?

Bai Yutang laughed—Since ancient times, cats can’t be watery!

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned - Maoer?

Bai Yutang was also puzzled, but Zhan Zhao was indeed named Royal Cat, so it was quite appropriate to call him "cat"...

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang silently glanced at Zhan Zhao————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Zhan Zhao's eyes narrowed - if you dare to shout out, try it!

"What is the White Tiger Star, Dad?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were looking at each other when they heard Xiao Sizi suddenly speak and ask Gongsun questions.

Gongsun frowned slightly, "Where did you learn it?"

The little fourth son raised his hand and raised the book Yang was reading, "It's written here, Chen's offender, White Tiger Star reincarnated, killed his husband's family, soaked in a pig cage..."

Gongsun was stunned for a moment, tilting his head to look at what Xiao Sizi was holding in his hand. Yes, he was reading the file instead of some local chronicles or folk legends.

"...What kind of cases were convicted by the yamen? And who were also guilty of using the White Tiger Star?" Zhao Pu took the file and looked carefully. Because he wanted to investigate the case of the Wangmen, the files here were all twenty years ago. Which book of Xiao Sizi records that an old woman sued her daughter-in-law, Bai Hu Star, and killed her son and almost half of the village... In the end, the yamen was sentenced to death by soaking a pig cage.

"Absurd." Bao Zheng frowned after taking the file handed over by Zhao Pu, "How could it be such a ridiculous heavy sentence?"

Bao Zheng called the Xizhou prefect to inquire harshly. The old prefect still remembered this incident and was very helpless. "Mr. Bao, it was not a random sentence for officials. In fact, this village woman was drowned by the neighbors in the village. They took action first and then reported. Let me report to the case here that this woman was reincarnated by the White Tiger Star. If she did not drown, she would kill the whole village."

Bao Zheng felt more and more ridiculous when he heard this, "You didn't punish him severely?"

"Sir..." The prefect lowered his voice a little, "Sir, I didn't read the entire case file. In fact, this woman had married three husbands before, and they all killed her husband's family within a year. Then the village suffered a major disaster, either a plague or a drought and flood, causing all the people in the village to die.

"It may be just a coincidence." Bai Yutang said slowly, "What does it have to do with a woman?"

"There were signs of plague in that village at that time, but after the woman was drowned, the disease was eliminated overnight." The prefect said seriously, "It is difficult to sentence this case. Either the whole village was detained and imprisoned for murder, or the case was suppressed... At that time, the government was not stable, so I reported to the higher-level prefecture and was ordered to modify the file and make the following sentence."

After hearing this, Bao Zheng roughly understood. Although he felt helpless, it had been so long after that, and it was not a big deal at the moment. He just had a thorn in his heart and was not very comfortable. This village woman was too pitiful, losing her husband, remarrying, white tiger star, soaking in the pig cage... How difficult life is.

The little Sizi still didn't understand what "White Tiger Star" was, so she came to Gongsun's side, "Dad..."

Gongsun took a piece of orange flesh to block his mouth, "It's a bad thing to say, so you won't be allowed to say it in the future."

"Um." Xiao Sizi nodded while chewing the orange flesh and looking back at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Put held his chin and seemed not to agree with Gongsun's method of teaching children, but he didn't say much.

It soon became dark, and Zhan Zhao lay alone in the room, looking up at the roof in a daze.

While staying, I heard a low "buzzing" sound.

Zhan Zhao sat up and saw a golden beetle parked on the candlestick beside the bed.

Zhan Zhao leaned over and looked at it, frowned - it was not the one he let go early in the morning, whose is it? Could it be Aunt Lan?

It felt strange, Zhan Zhao reached out to lift the insect up and looked at it, and saw a pair of black wings under the golden shell...

Zhan Zhao was shocked, jumped up, put on his coat and rushed out of the door. He looked around in the yard first, but didn't notice anything unusual, so he rushed up to the wall. The insect was flying up from behind him, and Zhan Zhao followed him and hurriedly chased him out.

At this time, Bai Yutang couldn't sleep. He was staring at the starry sky in the yard, and when he saw Zhan Zhao quickly flashing over the wall and out of the yard, he felt a little strange.

Bai Yutang hesitated, should he follow?

When he was thinking about it, he had already jumped onto the wall... and saw the dark night, the streets were foggy. Zhan Zhao ran quickly towards the direction of Bishui Mountain, and then went up the mountain.
To be continued...
