long moon smiles in the sky

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went from room to room in the Baiyi Temple, looking for all possible clues, almost not letting go of even a little bit of clues. When they finished checking everything, the sun had already set Slanted.

The two people came to a very simple conclusion. The White Clothes Sect had only stayed in Kaifeng for a few months. Regardless of whether it was the Buddha statues or the houses, they had just been rebuilt or were being rebuilt. In addition, the leader of the White Clothes Sect Ye Yibai's kung fu is not weak, and Baiyi Guan pays more attention to the construction of the main hall, as if to build a place for worship.

When the two of them left the Baiyi temple, Bai Yutang saw that the sun had already set in the west, so he said, "Mao'er, are you going back to Kaifeng?"

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, "I want to tell Sir the clue, so that he can judge the case."

Bai Yutang smiled and said, "It rained two days ago, and a small waterfall came out of the mountain behind Baiyu Village. The scenery is not bad... I built a small bamboo house there, and you can come to drink with me in the evening when you are free."

Zhan Zhao looked at the jars of pear blossoms in his arms, and smiled, "I'll go tonight, you wait for me."

Bai Yutang nodded, raised his knife, raised his hand to hold Huifeng who was waiting on the side of the road, waved to Zhan Zhao, and walked away leisurely.Huifeng flicked his mane, looked back at Zhan Zhao, flicked his tail and smacked his nose... It seemed that he was also saying goodbye to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao waved to them, and went back to Kaifeng mansion with the wine jar in his arms.

"You mean, the jade carving of the Thousand-Handed Evil Buddha was carved in the shape of the little Jade Buddha?" Bao Zheng asked Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "And that Jade Buddha accidentally lost an arm in the fight, and several members of the Snake Eagle Cult died in this fight."

Bao Zheng was silent for a while, and said, "I just asked about those innocent homeless people who were arrested into the White Clothes Sect. They suffered a lot in the White Clothes Sect, but the purpose of what they did to the White Clothes Sect was the same. I don’t know. And most of the congregants who were arrested by the White Clothes Sect were of low status... none of them knew the clue.”

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and said, "My lord...the reason why Ye Yibai and the backbone of the Baiyi sect escaped was because the group of frightened horses led Yutang and me away. Otherwise, with our efforts, we would definitely be able to escape." Catch people."

Bao Zheng frowned slightly after hearing this, "What Zhan Weiwei means is... that Ye Yibai got the news that we are going to raid the Baiyi Temple?"

"He definitely got the news in advance. Otherwise, preparing so many horses and tying up so many people... This cannot be done in a short while." Zhan Zhao smiled.

Bao Zheng sighed lightly, and said, "When I went to ask the emperor for an order, there were no other people around... In other words, the ghost is inside the forbidden soldiers."

Zhan Zhao shrugged and said with a smile, "It's not impossible."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao's smile contained some deep meaning, Gongsun asked, "Guard Zhan, do you have any plans?"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Well... there is one."

……

After telling Bao Zheng all the clues, Zhan Zhao left the study room. It was already dark at this time, Zhan Zhao left the government office with the wine jar in his arms, and headed towards Baixiu Village.

That night, a group of people in night clothes sneaked into the prison in Kaifeng Mansion. With knives in their hands, they sneaked into the prison silently.I saw a few men in white sitting in the innermost cell, leaning against the wall, as if they were asleep.Several men in black looked at each other and walked over quickly.The jailer was snoring on the table at the door. The two men in black carefully touched the acupoints of the two guards, took the key from the wall, walked quickly to the innermost side, and opened the door that locked the disciples in white. The cell door opened.Walking in quietly, those men in black slashed at a man in white at the door without saying anything after entering the door, but once they went down, they felt something was wrong.

The man in white who was cut fell headlong, but the head that rolled down was pricked by straw... Looking at it again, those men in white were all straw men.

The men in black immediately understood that they had been tricked, and wanted to go out through the door, but they were shocked when they turned around!I didn't know when, there was already a person standing in the corridor of the prison, wearing an indigo gown, holding an ancient black gold sword in his hand, exuding a calm and dignified brilliance.

The men in black froze, and when they saw Zhan Zhao suddenly appearing in front of them, they frowned and thought something was wrong.

At this time, a sneer suddenly sounded behind him.

A few people felt chills down their backs. Don't look at the clear and clear laughter, but the sudden sound from behind still gave them goosebumps. These people think that they are not weak in martial arts. How could someone appear behind them so much? Haven't found it yet.Turning his head slowly, he saw a man in white standing against the wall, holding a long knife rimmed with pure platinum silk, the pattern engraved on the knife body looked like floating clouds or dragons, but it had a body but no head, it looked The entire blade seems to be wrapped in a layer of dragon scales, and there is a faint strangeness...

Several people gasped, there was a Bai Yutang in the pile of white-clothed dummies just now——they were tricked by Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Although his face was covered, Zhan Zhao could still see the astonished expressions on the faces of these people under the masks, and said, "What a coincidence... you think I'm not here, so you come to kill people to silence them?"

A few men in black observed the situation and wanted to find a way to get out, but there was no way out, so what to do.

Bai Yutang yawned, and said lazily, "When we said this at the entrance of the Baiyi Temple, only a few guards heard it... It seems that the inner ghost is really in the forbidden army... As for the officials or Bing, after capturing you, the truth will be revealed."

As soon as the words were finished, the men in black exchanged glances, decided to put all their eggs in one basket, thought about it, drew their knives together, and rushed towards Bai Yutang who was closest to them at the same time.

Bai Yutang smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, but he didn't even move. At the same time, he heard a click from the top of his head... an ice iron cage fell down, covering several men in black inside.

Several people were stunned, and it took a while to react. When they looked up again, they saw countless torches lit up all around, illuminating the dark corners just now, and saw Bao Zheng walking in with a large number of people. And Gongsun was twisting a button on the wall beside him, rubbing his chin and muttering to himself, "It seems that the whole big cage is better than the scattered small ones."

The men in black were trapped in the cage, and when they looked up, they saw a few black jade flying locust stones thrown in Bai Yutang's hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the stones flew out, and all of their acupoints were tapped.

Zhan Zhao also opened the door and entered the prison, stretched out his hand and pulled off the masks of several people, and asked with a smile, "Commander Wang... Aren't you the most afraid of lawsuits? Why did you come to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion?"

The man in black behind the mask was none other than Wang Mo, the commander of the guards, and his subordinates.

Wang Mo gritted his teeth and said nothing, Bao Zheng turned cold, and said to the servants under him, "Lock them up!"

Chao Mahan walked over with the shackle, Gongsun turned the button back, and the cage was closed up unsteadily.

Zhao Hu moved a chair for Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng sat down in the aisle of the prison, watching Wang Mo and others who were escorted in front of him.

"Commander Wang, you are an official of the imperial court, don't you think this kind of behavior is too ridiculous?" Bao Zheng asked Wang Mo with a black face.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhan Zhao—Mao'er, Master Bao has such a dark face.

Zhan Zhao glared at him fiercely - you better be honest!

Bai Yutang smiled nonchalantly—it's boring, do you want to slip away and drink?

Zhan Zhao glanced at him a little weakly - you are going to go by yourself, aren't you curious, why does Wang Mo do this.

Bai Yutang rolled his eyes towards the sky—whatever, it's nothing more than fame, wealth and wealth.

"Ahem..." The two were "eyebrowing", when Gongsun coughed softly and gave them a warning look.

The two looked at each other, and obediently listened to Bao Zheng's trial.

Wang Mo knelt there, and said, "Lord Bao, the officials were confused for a while, and hated those people who taught in white for doing evil, so they brought their hands down..."

"Heh..." Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing, seeing Bao Zheng looking up at him, he quickly waved his hands, signaling everyone to continue and not to pay attention to him.

Bao Zheng sneered, "Wang Mo, are you talking nonsense?"

Wang Mo still quibbled, "My lord, I was really confused for a while."

Bao Zheng shook his head, and said to the two yamen servants beside him, "Take off the shirts of these people."

The yamen servants stepped forward and took off the shirts of Wang Mo and others, and saw that they didn't have any tattoos on their chests.Bao Zheng nodded, and looking at Wang Mo and the others, his face turned pale.

"Put it up first." Bao Zheng stood up and said, "Strict guard!" After speaking, he led everyone out of the prison.

"Guard Zhan is a good idea." Bao Zheng smiled and praised Zhan Zhao, and then smiled at Bai Yutang, "Thank you, Young Hero Bai, for your cooperation."

Bai Yutang smiled and nodded, "Your Excellency, you are welcome."

After a few polite words, Bao Zheng asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to rest early, and then led everyone back to the study.

"Cat, do you still drink?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

"Go to the room." Zhan Zhao smiled at him, and went back to the room to get some wine.

Bai Yutang flew up to the roof, and saw Zhan Zhao coming up with a wine jar and two wine cups, sat down beside him, and handed him a wine cup.

"Cat, what is Wang Mo's background?" Bai Yutang picked up the wine and took a sip, feeling that it tasted good.

"An ordinary military officer." Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and said, "This Wang Mo is usually very nice and humble. I really never thought he would do such a thing."

"At least it proves that he is not a member of the Snake Eagle Sect." Bai Yutang said, "The only thing that is connected between the White Clothes Sect and the Snake Eagle Sect is that evil Buddha."

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao nodded, leaned against the slightly sloping roof with his wine glass, and said, "It seems that the ones who clashed with the Snake Eagle Sect are probably members of the White Clothes Sect...but why? See The key to everything in the future lies in that evil Buddha."

"That thing, is it really as weird as what Mr. Gongsun said?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Also, if you copied the White Clothes School, what about the Red Clothes School?"

"Probably take it step by step." Zhan Zhao said, "First copy the White Clothes Sect and find out that he has problems, and then you can justifiably go to the Red Clothes Sect to investigate the case, after all, there are only women there."

"Ye Yibai is probably hiding in the Red Clothes Sect." Bai Yutang crossed his legs and lay down beside Zhan Zhao, reaching out to pick up a strand of Zhan Zhao's hair and playing with it, "It's a pity I didn't catch him just now, It may be difficult to catch it again this time.”

"Don't you say that he is the owner of the Mohua Palace?" Zhan Zhao snatched his hair back, "This matter probably has something to do with the Mohua Palace. Then the kung fu of the Mohua Palace is the kung fu of killing those Snake Eagle Cultists. , and now it is certain that the one who clashed with the Snake Eagle Sect is the person in white clothes, so in other words, the murderer is very likely to be Ye Yibai."

"Well, that's true." Bai Yutang thought for a while, "These things...are inextricably linked."

"By the way," Zhan Zhao said, "Xia Guodong from Yingtian Mansion will enter Kaifeng tomorrow."

"Really?" Bai Yutang became interested, thought for a while, and said, "Mao'er, I have a way to test whether he is really Xia Guodong."
