long moon smiles in the sky

"Master Bao!" Kong Hua hurriedly saluted Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng waved his hand slightly to him, signaling to talk later, then turned to ask Gongsun, "What's the matter, sir, is there any problem?"

Gongsun shook his head, looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and said, "This man's mouth is also on fire...it's strange."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other with wide eyes, looking at Gongsun, "Is your mouth really on fire?"

Gongsun nodded, pried open the corpse's mouth with a bamboo stick, and picked out something charred and black with another bamboo stick.

Kong Hua approached Gongsun curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Gongsun whispered, "Tongue."

"Ugh..." Kong Hua hurriedly covered his mouth, and several soldiers couldn't take it anymore, and they all ran out and vomited.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao leaned over to take a closer look, and saw that the tongue was almost the size of a duck's tongue. How could it be so burned in an instant? !

Gongsun shook his head, turned his head and said to Bao Zheng, "My lord, carry the body back, I have to examine it carefully, it's too strange."

Bao Zheng also looked stern, nodded and said, "This room in the post house is sealed off, don't let anyone in, everyone who sees it gathers in the yard, I want to ask questions, and the lieutenant general who fainted also carries me up." Go to Kaifeng Mansion!"

Kong Hua hurried down to do so, and Bao Zheng told Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to stay and investigate the scene. After the investigation, he transported the body back, and he took Gongsun, the dynasty mahan, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu to the courtyard to interrogate the case.

"Cat." After everyone had left, Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, "What do you think?"

Zhan Zhao shrugged, and carefully inspected the room, "Anything but evil is still evil."

The two turned around in the room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and after looking at it for a long time, they looked at each other.

"Is there anything wrong?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, "But I can't tell, what about you?"

Bai Yutang also nodded, "I think so too, but I can't say for a while."

"Hey, that's the lieutenant's room over there." Zhan Zhao said.

Bai Yutang nodded, and as soon as the two stepped on the window frame, they flew over with lightness kung fu, and jumped into the lieutenant general's room.

The lieutenant general's room is quite clean. There is a long knife on the table, which is very luxurious. The scabbard is separated from the blade. The blade is placed on the table fairly, and the scabbard is placed beside it. It seems that the lieutenant is wiping the knife. .

After Zhan Zhao walked into the room, he looked around, and when he turned around, he saw Bai Yutang standing by the table, staring at the knife in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao also came over, "What's wrong with the knife?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I still can't tell."

Zhan Zhao also stared at the knife for a while, and suddenly said "Ah!", "I know what was missing in that room just now, weapons! Then Xia Guodong is a general, why doesn't he carry a weapon with him."

"That's right!" Bai Yutang also woke up suddenly.

Afterwards, the two looked at each other, and their eyes fell on the knife.

"Yutang, what kind of knife is this?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, knowing that he is a knife fanatic, he is very fascinated and researched on knives, "It looks like it is very valuable."

Bai Yutang nodded, and said, "This is the Nine-Star Knife. It's very expensive, and it doesn't match the status of a lieutenant general."

"Nine Star Sword?" Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "I've only heard of the Seven Star Sword... and the Nine Star Sword?"

"People who don't use knives are really unfamiliar." Bai Yutang said, "knives are inherently heavy, so the weight of the knives depends on the weight of the knives. Generally speaking, the lighter the knives, the more gems, pearls and jade are inlaid. Heavy knives have more patterns, but less jewels. This is a common practice. Unless you are riding a horse to fight, or you are very good at martial arts, you can’t use light knives and you like heavy knives. There are nine jewels embedded in this knife It is heavy, and it requires high martial arts skills to use it."

Zhan Zhao blinked, stretched out his hand to pick up Bai Yutang's tempered dragon scale blade, drew the blade out of its sheath, and saw a dragon on the back of the blade pinching gold and jade. How much is it?"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "Generally, if you don't fight on horseback, you won't use a heavy knife. One is that you can't use it well, and the most important thing is that you can't control it with low martial arts." Zhao said to the giant sword, "Swords are even more important. They are famous for their lightness. There are even fewer people like you who can dance a sword weighing more than ten catties."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "The heavy sword is generally used for cutting and killing, and rarely used for swordsmanship. The Juque is an ancient sword, the size is the same as an ordinary sword, but it weighs three or four pieces, because the material is ancient black gold. "

Bai Yutang reached out to pick up the Nine Star Knife on the table, weighed it, and said, "Mao'er, let's say thirty catties less, and this length... I don't think a person who is fainted by the scorched corpse can use such a knife. "As he said, he put the knife back on the table, and frowned slightly when he saw the knife wipe beside him.

Zhan Zhao also looked at it for a while, and said, "Yutang, if you wipe your knife here and see a person on fire across the way, what do you do? Put the knife back in its sheath? Just leave it like this? Or take it and rush over?" Bai Yutang smiled and said, "I won't wipe my knife here."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao looked at him with a smile, "Why?"

"Thieving cat." Bai Yutang said, "Who would wipe the knife on the table? Of course they would hold it in their hand."

Zhan Zhao looked at the eunuch who was laying it on the table, with a knife wiper next to it, and said, "If it was wiped in your hand, why did it lay so flat when you put the knife down in a hurry?"

"He didn't wipe it with his hand, but put it on the table." Bai Yutang laughed, "It's the same sentence, who would wipe a knife on the table unless..."

The two looked at each other, and said in unison, "He thinks the knife is heavy, and he can't hold it hard."

"This knife doesn't belong to him at all." Zhan Zhao sneered, "If he didn't wipe the knife, he might not have seen what happened on the other side immediately.

"If the knife is not his, then it is most likely Xia Guodong's." Bai Yutang said, "The knife is the life of the swordsman, who would wipe the knife for his subordinates?!"

"Xia Guodong wiped the knife for his subordinates on purpose, and then he will wipe it carefully on the table by the window, and he will be the first to see him burned to death." Zhan Zhao whispered, "In other words, he wants this The deputy general went to him at the first time, why?"

After inspecting the lieutenant general's room, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang jumped out of the window again, and came under the window of Xia Guodong's room. Zhan Zhao looked down at the ground, and Bai Yutang looked up.

"Yutang." Zhan Zhao reached out and tugged at Bai Yutang's clothes, "Look."

Bai Yutang squatted down, looked at the ground where Zhan Zhao's fingers were, and saw some black things, like ashes.

Zhan Zhao took out a paper bag from his arms, carefully picked up those things, held them in front of his eyes, and saw that they looked like burnt wood chips or cloth residues.

"How could there be such a thing?" Bai Yutang also picked up a piece and smelled it, then frowned, "It stinks."

Zhan Zhao leaned over and sniffed the thing in his hand, and also felt that there was some weird smell on the residue, but there was a faint smell of incense on Bai Yutang's body, an indescribably subtle feeling.

"Put it all away, go back and ask Mr. what it is." Zhan Zhao put away the paper bag, and the two jumped up the window and entered the room.

After searching carefully, he saw that there were some residues around the corpse. Zhan Zhao picked it up, called the old man in charge of the portrait in Kaifeng Mansion, drew the position of the corpse, and then ordered the yamen servant to carry the corpse back to Kaifeng government went.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went out, a few yamen servants stayed behind to guard them. When they arrived in the courtyard, they saw Bao Zheng and Gongsun standing in the courtyard.The soldiers in charge of the guards were chattering, and Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu asked one by one. The soldiers said the same thing, that is, they saw the man standing by the window outside, and suddenly started to breathe fire. , and then set fire to it.

In the middle of the night, everyone returned to the mansion. When they heard that the deputy general had woken up, they all went to see him.

The deputy general's surname is Liu, and his name is Deputy Liu Feng.Bai Yutang was overjoyed when he heard the name, why is there an adverb in the name, he is destined to be a lieutenant general for the rest of his life.But what's weird is that the lieutenant general didn't remember anything, and just kept yelling, "Fire! Fire!"

Gongsun Ce wanted to step forward to feel his pulse, but he almost hurt Gongsun with his teeth and claws. Zhan Zhao quickly pulled Gongsun back, and Bai Yutang raised his hand and touched his acupuncture points.Deputy Liu Feng calmed down now, lying on the bed still staring at the ceiling blankly, as if he had been greatly shocked.

Gongsun stepped forward to take a look and shook his head, "He seems to be frightened." Everyone was suspicious but also helpless, so they had to split up. Gongsun inspected the body overnight, and the others went back to their rooms.

Zhan Zhao just wanted to turn off the lights after washing up, when he turned into someone from the window.Zhan Zhao had no choice but to see that Bai Yutang had already washed up, was wearing light clothes, and the white underclothes were of high quality, when he came in, he closed the window and ran straight to Zhan Zhao's bed.

Zhan Zhao couldn't stop him, angrily, "White Mouse, you have your own room, why are you robbing me of the bed?!"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "There are too many people living in the guest rooms of your Kaifeng Mansion. Who knows who has slept in them before, and the quilts are all cold, so I can't stay here."

Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, walked to the bed, saw Bai Yutang sleeping in the middle, and said, "Come over! Where will I sleep when you're full?"

Bai Yutang moved outside, signaling Zhan Zhao to sleep inside.Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, thinking that it's good to sleep in, and I'll kick you out of bed at night.After thinking about it, he turned over into the bed, lay down, turned his face away, propped his cheeks with his hands and said to Bai Yutang, "Don't grab the quilt from me at night, I still have a quilt in the drawer, just put it in the sun and brought it in this afternoon." Yes, you sleep there."

Bai Yutang reached out and pulled the quilt beside Zhan Zhao to cover himself, raised his eyebrows, "I just like this bed."

"You have to confront me, don't you?" Zhan Zhao grabbed the quilt, "The cat has already taken the bed, and you still want to take my quilt?!"

"Wrong!" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and snatched Zhan Zhao's pillow, "I still have to occupy the pillow."

Zhan Zhao reached out to snatch it back, so the two of them grabbed the quilt, the other pulled the quilt, the other grabbed the pillow, the other pulled the pillow, and started a fight.

Half an hour later, Zhan Zhao fell asleep with half a pillow, half covered with a quilt, staring at the mouse in front of him.Bai Yutang slept on the other half of the pillow and covered the other half of the quilt, staring at the cat in front of him.The two were so close that their noses almost touched noses, but because of that pillow, neither of them would let go.

slept for a while...

"Cat, come over." Bai Yutang pointed to the back of the pillow to Zhan Zhao, "You're more than halfway through."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, "No, I only slept for a little while, your half is a little older!"

After the two quarreled for a few words, they both felt that it was boring to play lip service, so they started to act—to grab the pillow, Bai Yutang moved forward, Zhan Zhao also moved forward, the two moved together, the movements were unified, one didn't pay attention...the lips touched... …
