After the painting boat from Wulong Village left, the painting boat from Taixue slowly passed through the bridge hole and continued to move along the planned route.
Zhan Zhao and the others were originally curious about whether Xie Yan would express anything, but Xie Yan seemed to have nothing happened and continued to swim in the lake with his Taixue classmates.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang still wanted to investigate the case in Ziwu Lane, so they didn't stay long and took Gongsun ashore first.
The three of them left the fourth child with Tianzun and Yin Hou, and made an appointment to meet in Taibaiju for a while.
Watching the painting boat sail away, Gongsun asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with some concern, "Does Xie Yan not care, or does he have other plans?"
Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Today was actually not bad. The Wu family and his son were mostly testing people. I probably didn't expect Pang Yu and Lin Xiao to get in trouble."
"If the Wu family father and son stop here, maybe they can forget it." Bai Yutang said while looking at the outer wall of the post house, "After all, we have to hold a happy event, and it is better to do less than to do more."
"But those two father and son are not very reliable." Gongsun was a little worried.
Zhan Zhao let out a light "tsk" and touched his chin.
Gongsun and Bai Yutang both looked at him - what's wrong?
Zhan Zhao looked around, crossed his arms and shook his head, "I always feel it's not that simple."
Bai Yutang found a hole in the wall, showed Gongsun a look, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Why isn't it simple?"
Gongsun Zhi waved his hand, "How can there be such a big pit? If it were such a pit, the cook would have been gone!"
Fifth Master thought it was right and continued to look for it.
Zhan Zhao followed the two men and sighed as he walked forward, "Are the two father and son of the Wu family really here to propose marriage?"
Gongsun asked, "Is it possible that the gossip is wrong?"
"But they really put all their efforts into this chance encounter." Although Fifth Master thought it was a bit unnecessary, it was true that the two fathers and sons had a plan.
"Wu Shanchuan offended the Tang Clan before, and he was in the wrong. Now that my younger sister is married to Long Qiaoguang, if he makes trouble again, it won't be just the Tang Clan that will be offended. After all, the emperor granted the marriage, and it's hard to make trouble at this time.
You have to be jailed." The more Zhan Zhao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, "What are you trying to do? After all, Wu Shanchuan is also a well-known figure in the world, and when he is old, he has to risk his whole family's life just to be angry with the Tang Clan? Tang Clan
You didn’t kill his whole family, so what?”
"It makes sense." Gongsun also nodded, "To be honest, if the old man is wiser, he should take this opportunity to admit his mistake to the younger sister. It would be the best policy to resolve the differences between the two families. Besides, it was him who was wrong in the first place, so he should apologize.
.”
"My little sister was also on the boat just now... Could it be that the Wu family and his son really went to apologize?" Zhan Zhao thought for a while, but felt something was wrong, "Is it so complicated?"
"I really need to apologize and go to the Tangmen Courtyard to see Mrs. Tang. He is obviously prepared to come to Xie Yan this time."
While chatting and walking, Master Wu suddenly pointed to the ground at the two of them.
I saw a few blood spots on the ground.
The three of them looked at each other and followed the blood spots. Finally, they found a protruding stone on the wall that was covered with blood.
"Old Feng probably hit his head here." Gongsun shook his head, "No wonder the hit was so serious."
"A lot of blood." Zhan Zhao frowned and felt pain just looking at it.
"So is it his hallucination?" Mr. Wu looked around, "There are no alleys or spice shops nearby."
"I wonder if anyone has seen that white-haired government servant."
Zhan Zhao asked nearby merchants and passers-by if they had seen an elderly Kaifeng government official.
The three of them walked around the outer wall of the post house and asked everyone they could, but no one had ever seen such a government official.
"Is it possible that the government official is also hallucinating?" Gongsun asked Zhan Zhao.
"Is it so evil?" Zhan Zhao wondered, what kind of master could be so powerful in soul-stirring skills? But he was so full that he tricked a cook?
The three of them found nothing. Seeing that the sun was about to set, they felt that they had not found anything after a busy day, and they were feeling hungry.
After leaving the post house and returning to the city, the three of them planned to rush to Taibaiju to have a meal before returning to Kaifeng Mansion.
When I passed by the Tangmen Courtyard, I saw a bunch of people at the door. They were so noisy that I didn’t know what they were doing.
"What's wrong?" Gongsun asked, "Did something happen?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang listened carefully and vaguely heard something like "The bamboo bears are missing a pair..."
Both of them grabbed Gongsun, who was about to go over to see the situation, "Let's take a small road..."
But before they entered the alley, someone from behind shouted, "Brother Zhan and Brother Bai!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned around helplessly and saw Tang Sida running towards them.
Tang Sidao ran up to them, looked left and right, and then looked behind them.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tried their best to pretend to be innocent and said, "What a coincidence..."
"You two, stop coming!" Tang Sidao said angrily, "Where's my bamboo bear?"
Zhan Zhao tilted his head, "Bamboo bear?"
Tang Sida stomped his feet, "Four pairs of eight little bamboo bears were just transported from Shuzhong yesterday, and we lost two of them just now!"
"Does a pair mean one male and one female?" Bai Yutang asked.
Zhan Zhao and Gongsun both looked at him - you are the focus of attention...
"The bamboo bears just arrived yesterday, and there were four or five waves of bear thieves!" Tang Sidao looked unhappy, "I sent so many people to guard the three levels inside and outside, but I still lost a pair!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Tell me! Did you two do it?!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both shook their heads - No!
Gongsun also said, "We were investigating a case just now, and we happened to be passing by!"
Gongsun had cured Brother Tang's stubborn illness and was his great benefactor to the Tang clan. Tang Sida naturally believed what he said, "It's really not you two?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded with peace of mind - it was indeed not the case!
"Okay!" Tang Sida tugged at Zhan Zhao, "I want to report the crime! My bamboo bear is lost!"
After saying that, Tang Sidao dragged Zhan Zhao to the "crime scene".
Gongsun had no choice but to look at Bai Yutang who was following him, stroking his chin.
Bai Yutang muttered to himself, "That idiot finally did something serious."
Tang Sidao took Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce into the other courtyard.
There are also a few Jianghu people tied up in the yard. It is said that they were all captured by Bamboo Bear. They are from all sects, and several of them have some status.
Seeing Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, several Jianghu friends did not forget to say hello, "Long time no see, you two young heroes!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also returned the courtesy, "Long time no see, are you stealing bamboo bears?"
"yes."
Tang Sida stamped his feet, "Kick everyone out!"
Several "bear thieves" were driven out by Tang Sect's men.
What Tang Sidao said was absolutely correct. The Tang Sect had several levels of checkpoints. There were several groups of people on the inner and outer three floors, as well as many agencies. A fence was circled in the middle of the yard, and a small building was built inside.
In the garden, there is a small house with many bamboos piled up.
The second brother Tang came out with two young bamboo shoots and saw Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, so he asked Tang Sida, "Did you catch it? I just said I saw a red shadow!"
Zhan Zhaowangtian - Dressed in red, there is obviously a less reliable candidate than Mr. Cat!
When I walked to the hut, I saw six chubby little bamboo bears lying on their backs on a large wooden bed, drying their fur. One of them had two black and white flowers, and the white fur was slightly pink, and they looked like they had just been weaned.
Zhan Zhao went over to pick one up, squeezed the fleshy fat black claw, let out a sigh of relief, and instantly felt much better.
Bai Yutang and Gongsun also picked up one of them and stroked it, and were very satisfied with the soft feel.
Tang Sidao was anxious, "The one who asked you to catch thieves is not the one who asked you to hug the bear!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him. What did he mean? Keep your voice down, people are sleeping!
Tang Sida looked at his second brother.
Tang Er spread his hands and looked back at Zhan Zhao and the others.
At this moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were meeting to study - how to distinguish male from female at such a small size? Is it the same as a cat?
Gongsun held one in his arms and weighed it. He felt that the texture was similar to that of the fourth child when he was just weaned. He patted it twice, and sure enough, he burped, which made Mr. Gongsun very happy.
Tang Sidao snatched the bamboo bear back and said that Brother Tang San was chasing the thief, so he asked Zhan Zhao and the others to help. Anyway, he reported the crime!
When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were leaving, they happened to encounter a few bamboo bear thieves outside the wall. They fell into the trap and were beaten out with sticks by Tang Sidao's command.
Gongsun sympathized with some people in the Tang clan. He was already overwhelmed by the wedding, and so many people were causing trouble.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were more concerned - didn't Lin Yehuo bring a basket? Can the basket hold two bears? Visual inspection can only hold one, and the other one should be in his arms, but
Don't let Tang Laosan catch up.
The three of them left the courtyard and headed towards the Fire Phoenix Hall first.
The bear thief of Tang Clan is not easy to catch because there are too many suspects.
Furthermore, the Tang family themselves had previously announced in a big way that they would send bamboo bears to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen was so happy that he specially asked people to build a small bamboo garden in the Imperial Garden to raise bamboo bears. Xiangxiang looked forward to the little panda coming soon every day.
