Chapter 109 Threads, Bloodstains and Beads

It took a lot of work for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to enter the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

Those women came to block Tang Mi, but they didn't expect to see Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao.These two are famous handsome men in the Jianghu, so a group of girls don't care about looking for Tang Mi's wife, they just stare at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

The two of them didn't want to go through the main entrance, it was purely for Tang Mi's cover, and besides...it's not a big deal that there are so many girls gathered outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.Zhan Zhao stood at the door and said to the beauties, "Girls, go back, don't wait at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion."

At this moment, Tang Mi had slipped quietly into the Kaifeng mansion through the corner gate.

The girls refused to leave, saying they wanted Tang Mi to give an explanation.

Bai Yutang watched from the side as Zhan Zhao struggled to cope with the girls, it was quite amusing, and he deliberately didn't help him out, just watched him from the sidelines.

Zhan Zhao was surrounded by a group of beauties, who talked about making Tang Mi responsible.

Just at this time, a girl rushed to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, picked up a drumstick and wanted to beat the drum to express her grievances.

Zhan Zhao was shocked, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Oh, girl, you can't mess around with drumming and complaining!"

The girl said, "In order to be able to marry Tang Mi, I turned down several marriages. Now he has married himself, no! If he is not responsible, we will die!"

"That's right!" The other girls also booed, "We're going to hang ourselves collectively at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were shocked, seeing that they couldn't stop them, Bai Yutang grabbed Zhan Zhao and rushed into the mansion office, the yamen servants rushed out and closed the door to stop the girls.

Bao Zheng was grading files in the study, when he heard the commotion outside, he was also a little puzzled, he came out, and asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who ran in like fleeing for their lives, "What happened?"

"My lord." Zhan Zhao said, "Many girls outside said that they want Tang Mi to marry them."

"Nonsense." Bao Zheng frowned, and said, "Leave everyone, there is so much noise at the gate of the court, what are you talking about?"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt a little helpless - those girls were unreasonable.

Finally, Bao Zheng simply went out in person.

Needless to say, those girls were talking nonsense at the door, they were a little nervous when they saw Bao Zheng's big black face, and retreated to the side.

Bao Zheng said with a dark face, "Go home, if you mess around here again, you will all be punished for disturbing the court!"

The girls looked at each other in blank dismay, finally stopped talking, chewed their mouths aggrievedly and left.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were watching from behind and exchanged glances—as expected of Mr. Bao, he is indeed majestic enough!

After the girls had left, Bao Zheng told the yamen servants, "In the future, those girls are not allowed to gather again, and all of them should put on some majesty."

"Yes!" Several officials pulled up their chests and stood up straight.

Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed, and Bai Yutang laughed at him beside him.

……

After dinner, Zhan Zhao took Xiaoyue and Huifeng to the yard and let them stroll around, brushing Xiaoyue and feeding it.

"Cat, don't feed it." Bai Yutang said, "Look, Xiaoyue has gained weight in just a few days."

"Then she eats one horse equal to two horses." Zhan Zhao said, and asked Hui Feng, "Hui Feng?"

Huifeng flicked his mane and yelled twice—Xiaoyue eat more, eat fatter, I like fat girls.

Huifeng blinked his big eyes, and glanced at it——dead look!

Returning to the wind, he happily went over to rub against it.

"Cat." Bai Yutang leaned against the corridor at the door and asked Zhan Zhao, "Is there anything interesting to do?"

"What are you doing?" Zhan Zhao walked over listlessly and sat down, and said, "You see, there is no clue at all in this case." "Yeah." Bai Yutang nodded, "That's right, finding a beast is more troublesome than finding a person." .”

While talking, I saw Gongsun walking in.

"Sir?" Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"I checked the two corpses in detail and found some clues." Gongsun walked to the stone table and sat down, and said, "Those two people were indeed bitten alive, but the real cause of death was the bite. Blood vessels, bleeding to death."

"Oh?" Bai Yutang also walked over and sat down, and asked, "So, he wasn't killed directly? Was he bitten and bled to death? Didn't he get eaten?"

"Hmm... Judging from the condition of the wound, under normal circumstances, it can last for most of the day, but it will die soon... It should be that the injured person has been exercising vigorously!"

"Exercising vigorously?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Does that mean he ran away?"

"Yes." Gongsun nodded.

"It looks like... there should be something chasing and biting them, and then they ran away." Bai Yutang said, "And in the end they escaped, but did they bleed to death?"

"Yes!" Gongsun nodded, "That's roughly the case, and... the dead should be running down."

"Can this be judged?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Yes, he has a lot of bruises on his body, but there are not many scratches on his hands, especially the palms." Gongsun said, "If ordinary people run up, they must use their hands. In a panic, the palms of the hands may be injured." The sex is bigger."

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao nodded, "That's right, in the area around Kaifeng Mansion, the places where no one will be seen by biting beasts are basically in the mountains... If you encounter something terrible on the mountain, human instinct will inevitably It’s running down, so you can run faster.”

"That's right." Gongsun nodded.

"Hmm...there is a process of escaping, plus there is too much bloodshed?" Bai Yutang said to himself, "In other words, there will be a lot of blood left?"

"This is a clue!" Zhan Zhao said, "It hasn't rained in the past few days, so if there are bloodstains left along the way, then we should be able to find them."

"That's right!" Gongsun said, "I also found some things."

"What?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and leaned over to look.

Gongsun took out a small paper bag from his sleeve pocket and opened it.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and saw two round silver beads inside the paper bag.

"Silver bead?" Zhan Zhao picked up the longan-sized bead and looked at it, and saw a pattern engraved on it, similar to a certain kind of character, or a pattern that is not very vivid. Generally speaking, it is quite delicate of.

"Yinruan, you need to have a good model to make such a craft." Bai Yutang has a lot of research on these things, so he stretched out his hand to take a look, and said, "This thing should be worth some money."

"Where did it come from?" Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun.

"Inside the stomach of the deceased." As soon as Gongsun finished speaking, Bai Yutang frowned and put the beads back, looking for a place to wash his hands.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "Mister must have washed it."

Bai Yutang still fetched water and desperately washed his hands.

"How come there are two beads in the stomach of the deceased?" Zhan Zhao asked with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm..." Gongsun shook his head, "I can't figure this out, I have to go and find out."

"If there is a clue," Zhan Zhao took the two beads and said, "Tomorrow morning, go to the silver shop to find out the origin of these two beads, and then go up the mountain to look for blood.

"Looking for blood?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao with wide eyes and asked, "Then don't you want to climb all the mountains in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then frowned, "Yes...is there any convenient way?"

"Let all the government servants in Kaifeng look for it." Gongsun said, "In addition to the five hundred imperial troops belonging to Kaifeng... Well, it should be almost the same!"

"Okay!" Zhan Zhao nodded, "Let's search the mountains with all the staff, just to find out what kind of animal harms people!"

That night, Bai Yutang came to rub Zhan Zhao's bed again.Lifting the fat fur ball out and placing it beside the pillow, Bai Yutang occupied the half of the bed that originally belonged to the fur ball.

"Cat." Bai Yutang covered the quilt and said, "Zhen'er can talk, when are you going to visit him? Brother and sister-in-law are still thinking about you taking him as a disciple."

"You can talk at such a young age?" Zhan Zhao asked in surprise.

"It's not too young." Bai Yutang said, "It's already one year old."

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao lay on the pillow and rubbed his fingers, "I don't know when Xiaoyue will give birth to a baby."

"Don't horses have to be very old?" Bai Yutang yawned, "Wait slowly...or else, take them to Xingkong Island to have a baby?"

Zhan Zhao amused Bai Yutang, and grabbed the quilt to cover his head, "Sleep, you, so much nonsense!"

Not to be outdone, Bai Yutang dragged Zhan Zhao into the blanket.

Then... There was a lot of noise in the quilt.

The next morning.

Zhan Zhao woke up with a yawn, and saw Bai Yutang next to him.

Zhan Zhao leaned over to look at Bai Yutang's sleeping face, and clicked his tongue twice, this person really looks...

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the fur ball jumping onto the bed, meowing and rubbing against me, as if I was hungry... The most interesting thing was that it flicked its tail, just rubbing against it. Looking at Bai Yutang's face.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, stretched out his hand... and grabbed the hairball by the tail.

"Mia~" Mao Qiu yelled in pain, stepped on Bai Yutang's face with one paw, jumped out and ran away.

Bai Yutang was stomped firmly by the fur ball's soft pad, and was startled by the cat meowing just now. When he looked up, he saw Zhan Zhao sitting beside him, smiling.

Bai Yutang looked up to the sky and stretched, "Hmm... cat, it showed its original shape early in the morning."

Zhan Zhao spotted his nose, and reached out to grab it!

……

The two got up early and quarreled for a while, then put on their clothes and went out of the courtyard to have breakfast in the kitchen.The lady in the kitchen got up early this morning and prepared meat buns and jujube cakes for everyone, as well as a few vats full of soy milk. She knew that everyone in the whole house was going to climb the mountain today.

Zhan Zhao had jujube cake in one hand and steamed stuffed bun in the other. While eating, he studied the topographic map of Kaifeng Prefecture with Bai Yutang and a few policemen in charge of leading the team, and divided the mountains of the city into five areas, five hundred forbidden troops and five hundred government servants. , every 200 people in an area, a group of ten people, led by a team leader to search the mountain, and report immediately after finding blood.

After the arrangement was completed, all members of the Kaifeng Mansion were mobilized and went up the mountain.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang drank two sips of soy milk, then ran out of the government office, went to the silverware shop on the street, looking for clues to Yinzhu, but this move revealed a big secret.
