Chapter 43 Play, The Grand Master of the Chin Mouse Play

Seeing the sorcerer talking nonsense alone, Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao and asked in a low voice, "Mao'er, is this old man possessed by a demon?"

Zhan Zhao also felt suspicious, so he said, "Take them all back to Kaifeng Mansion."

"En." Bai Yutang was about to reach out to grab him, when he suddenly heard a strange movement from outside.

The two looked at each other, and Bai Yutang raised his hand to touch the acupoints of the wizard who was still babbling wildly. Zhan Zhao had already rushed out, and when he went out from the tunnel, he saw Liu Yongba and Wang Qi lying on the ground. Pa's body.

Zhan Zhao frowned, and rushed to the courtyard, but there was no one around... It seems that the person who did the murder was quite skilled.

"Cat." Bai Yutang led the wizard out, frowned when he saw the two corpses on the ground, and asked, "Did you see anyone?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "It's already gone."

"It seems that someone has been watching this place." Bai Yutang looked at the muttering wizard, "I don't know if he can ask anything."

"Let's go back quickly." Zhan Zhao said, "There's still a Kong Ba here, don't let others plot against him."

Bai Yutang nodded, and the two jumped onto the wall with the wizard. Just as they were about to leave, they heard a dog barking behind them.

When Zhan Zhao turned his head, he saw the little earth dog hurriedly followed out just now, and barked at him with its face up.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, flew down, picked him up with one hand, turned around, and went back with Bai Yutang.

When they got to the house, they saw Pang Tong standing in the middle of the yard, with Kong Ba lying beside him.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Someone came to assassinate just now." Pang Tong said, "Fortunately, Gongsun and I decided to wait for you to come back before going to the magistrate's yamen."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Kong Ba on the ground, threw the wizard to the ground again, and said, "It's not too late, let's not delay any longer, take people, go to the magistrate's yamen, pick up Zhou Lan, and let's start together." Go back to Kaifeng Mansion and talk about it!"

"I think it will work!" Bai Yutang nodded, and went out to hire a carriage.

Liu Yu also came out, and Gongsun prepared all the medicines and waited for a while to treat Zhou Lan.

Soon, everyone got into the carriage and went to the magistrate's yamen. There were still some officials in the yamen who were in the way, but Bai Yutang kicked them away, picked Zhou Lan into the carriage, and drove away.

The few people didn't dare to delay on the road, they drove all night, and finally returned to Kaifeng mansion at noon the next day.

When we arrived at the gate of the mansion, we saw a sedan chair and a large group of officers and soldiers parked there.Pang Tong frowned slightly, seeing a middle-aged butler waiting beside the sedan chair, he called out, "Uncle Fu? Why are you here?"

"Third young master!" Fu Bo hurried over and said, "I accompanied the Grand Master to Kaifeng Mansion."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, a little puzzled, and wondered, didn't Grand Master Pang never get in touch with Kaifeng Mansion?Why did you take the initiative to come to Kaifeng Mansion today?

"Father, what is he doing in Kaifeng Mansion?" Pang Tong was also a little surprised.

The butler whispered something in Pang Tong's ear, and Pang Tong frowned deeply.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—it seems that there are articles in it!

Gongsun also got out of the car, and ordered the servants in the mansion to send Zhou Lan and Liu Yu to the room, and then Kong Ba and the wizard were locked up alone and under strict guard.

When everyone entered the mansion, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw that Pang Tong was frowning, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pang Tong turned to look at the two, and said, "It is said that Liu Dalong was killed at night, and my elder brother was robbed by a man in black."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback when they heard this, and their first reaction was——that's great!I don't know if it's dead or not!

But soon realized that thinking like this was a bit unkind, the two looked at each other, coughed and restrained their minds.

"Maybe it was the man in black who came to attack Kong Ba." Zhan Zhao said, "In other words, it should be the people from the Snake Eagle Sect?"

"What did the people from the Snake Eagle School arrest Pang Yu for?" Gongsun was puzzled.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - it was Pang Yu who was stupid, looking for someone to cast some kind of curse to kill Pang Tong, and happened to bump into the opponent's hand.

While talking, everyone had already reached the door of Bao Zheng's study, and saw Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang sitting at the table drinking tea and chatting, Grand Master Pang's anxious expression did not seem to be feigned.

"My lord." Gongsun walked in first.

"Oh, sir is back?" Bao Zheng stood up, and everyone entered the room to salute Bao Zheng first, and Pang Tong walked up to Pang Ji, "Father."

"Oh, Tong'er, you're back, your elder brother was kidnapped!" Pang Ji said anxiously.

"I heard from Uncle Fu when I came in." Pang Tong nodded and asked, "Where was he kidnapped? Does anyone know who kidnapped him?"

Pang Ji turned his face and yelled at a boy behind him, "Don't come out and say it!"

The young fourth son's expression changed when he saw Pang Tong, and he whispered, "Uh... the young master was kidnapped in Yingchang Mansion."

Bao Zheng frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked Pang Ji, "What is the young master doing in Yingchang Mansion?"

Pang Ji shook his head, turned to look at the boy, "Say it!"

"Uh... Eldest Young Master originally heard that Third Young Master was leaving the mansion to investigate the case, so he wanted to follow him... Then, later on, Third Young Master and the others didn't know where they went, so we lost track of him. Eldest Young Master happened to meet Liu Dalong, so we We went to Yingchang Mansion together."

Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing when he heard what the boy said.

Everyone looked at him, Pang Ji raised his head, saw Bai Yutang smiling at him, his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help feeling cold all over his body.It is said that Pang Ji, as a grand master, a relative of the emperor, and a third-rank official, except for a few important officials in the court, he has never been afraid of anyone, except Bai Yutang.

Back then, he tried every means to be an enemy of Kaifeng Mansion, making things difficult for Zhan Zhao everywhere, and I don’t know where Bai Yutang got the idea, set fire to his yard, shaved off his hair and eyebrows, and plucked his beard in the middle of the night , making him as bald as a goose egg with no hair left, and he didn't dare to go to court for more than half a year.At that time, he really didn't know that it was Bai Yutang who made trouble for him, but he thought it was the fox fairy. Many servants said that they saw white shadows floating in the courtyard at night.Later, the fox fairy became more and more violent. The grape wine sent by the Western Regions disappeared and turned into horse urine. Pang Ji vomited for half a month after drinking it; the tortoise; the canary he liked was let go, and the cranes raised at home were plucked to make a roast chicken... Taishi Pang recruited a large number of half-fairies and veterans to drive away ghosts and demons, but the final result was Those Taoist monks were scared away by the goblin.

In the end, Grand Master Pang had no choice but to be tortured every day.But then he gradually discovered some rules, as long as he made things difficult for the Kaifeng Mansion, especially if he offended Zhan Zhao that day, he would definitely be retaliated that night, and there were times when he was serious and scary.

Finally, one night when the fat old man woke up from his sleep, he saw fires all around him. He happened to be ill these few days, and he couldn't move his sluggish hands and feet.He heard someone crying for his father and mother outside, and Pang Ji couldn't move, but he knew it in his heart. When he was in despair, suddenly, a man in white came out of the flames. Although he was a man, old man Pang really I have never seen such a good-looking person. At that time, I thought I was going to die, so I saw a fairy?Just as he was thinking wildly, the man patted him on the head twice and said, "Grand Master Pang, do you want me to rescue you?"

"Think about it!" Pang Ji nodded quickly, "If you save me, I will give you whatever you want."

The man smiled with his mouth curled up, and said, "Keep your money to buy a coffin, life has been pretty easy for the past half a year, right?"

Pang Ji took a deep breath before realizing that the person in front of him is the immortal who has been teasing him!Hastily said, "Daxian, where did I offend you? Are you going to play tricks on me like this?"

"It's not me that you offended, but Kaifeng Mansion!" The man raised his hand and patted his forehead twice, "I tell you, from now on, if you see Kaifeng Mansion, let me take a detour, don't embarrass people in Kaifeng Mansion , otherwise, Grandpa will let you die without knowing how you died!"

Only then did Pang Ji understand, and hurriedly swore that he would never miss Kaifeng mansion again!Be an official and serve the court well.

Finally, when Pangji woke up, he was outside, and his own bedroom had been burned to the ground.

The servant girl told Pang Ji that there was a thunderstorm last night, and a dry thunder just hit the roof of his bedroom, so the fire started.

Pang Ji broke out in a cold sweat all his life, thinking that he was against the Kaifeng Mansion, how could he provoke the fox fairy and be struck by lightning at the same time?

In the early morning of the next day, when Pang Ji was waiting in the classroom, he saw Bao Zheng coming in. He stood up and went forward to salute him. He bowed to the bottom and said, "Good morning, old Bao."

Bao Zheng was so startled that he pulled out a few beards, and the Eight Worthy King who was drinking tea at the side squirted out a mouthful of tea.

What was even more fun was Zhan Zhao. That day he and Bao Zheng went to the palace to meet the saint. Bao Zheng went in and he waited in the corridor. From a distance, he saw Grand Master Pang.

Zhan Zhao frowned, thinking that Pang Ji was going to trouble him again, but Pang Ji asked him with a smile on his face, "Has Guard Zhan eaten?"

Zhan Zhao looked at him with wide eyes, wondering if the old man had eaten enough in the morning?

Pang Ji took a box of pastries held by the servants behind him, handed them to Zhan Zhao, and said, "This is the pastry brought from the Empress Dowager just now, it's not very sweet and suitable for young people to eat! Zhan guards take it if they don't mind it." Go eat." After finishing speaking, Pidiandian walked away.

Zhan Zhao was foolish with the dim sum box, how dare he eat it, rushed back to Kaifeng mansion and asked Gongsun to inspect it to see if it was filled with arsenic, rat poison, or crane-crested red.Gongsun studied the pastry for a long time, and said to Zhan Zhao, "This pastry is fine."

Zhan Zhao scratched his head and thought about the day, then patted the table, "I know! Today's Grand Master Pang is disguised!"

……

It wasn't until a long time later that Grand Master Pang saw Bai Yutang with Zhan Zhao by chance, and immediately knew that this was the famous Chinchilla Bai Yutang, not a fox fairy... but a terrible plague god!

Now, when Pang Ji saw Bai Yutang smiling at him, he didn't know what to do, so he asked, "Uh, Young Xia Bai, what are you laughing at?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and felt that this matter had to be said, but Zhan Zhao never liked Pang Ji very much, so he said to Bao Zheng, "My lord, when we were investigating the case, we saw An Lehou."

"Really?" Bao Zheng was taken aback and asked, "Is there any information about his whereabouts?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Pang Yu is with the three tyrants of Yingchang who colluded with the Snake Eagle Sect this time. Among them, Liu Yongba and Wang Qiba are dead, Kong Ba was brought back by us, and Yin Zhoulan of Yingchang Mansion can testify. We also brought back wizards from the Snakehawk Cult."

"Heh..." Pang Ji gasped when he heard this. He naturally knew that his boss was not up to date. If Pang Yu was half as sensible as Pang Tong, he wouldn't have to worry about it. Things, but now they have mixed up with the Snake Eagle Sect, this is a serious crime of beheading!

"No... no way?" Pang Ji turned to look at Pang Tong, "Although Yu'er is messing around, she's not stupid, and she won't associate with people from the Snake Eagle Sect."

"He might not know that these three tyrants belong to the Snake Eagle Sect." Bai Yutang's words dragged Pang Ji up from the abyss, but the latter sentence pushed the old man into another abyss.Bai Yutang said unhurriedly, "He just went to find the Three Hegemons and asked them to find a wizard from the Snake Eagle Cult to curse Pang Tong to death."
