In the courtyard in front of the study of the Taishi Mansion, in full view of everyone, the nine ladies of the Taishi Mansion, so many guards of the Taishi Mansion, a circle of shadow guards on the roof, and two masters of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. In front of so many people, a man in black who sneaked into the study of the Taishi Mansion and stole things turned into a pile of salt.

The yard was silent for a moment, probably because the case of the Taiwei Mansion's destruction recently was so sensational that the fact that the martial arts test candidates turned into salt was covered up. However... seeing this big change of life with one's own eyes still shocked everyone.

Zhan Zhao was stunned with his mouth open, and his mind was repeated - there was no flaw! There was no way to see any mechanism inside, how did he get it out?

The Bai Yutang on the courtyard wall was viewed from a high place. The fifth master always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it... He subconsciously went to see Zhan Zhao, thinking that Zhan Zhao should be more realistic when he stood closer.

However, after a glance, the fifth master almost laughed.

Zhan Zhao's current expression was similar to when Gongsun lied to him that he could not eat seafood for a year.

At this moment, a burst of laughter broke the silence in the yard.

Everyone came to their senses and saw the Taishi standing on the steps at the entrance of the study, laughing at the pile of salt.

Several ladies looked at their husbands stupidly, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also looked at each other - what's wrong?

Xiao Liangzi ran to the Grand Master and asked him with his face raised, "Xiao Pangpang, do you know how he turned into salt?"

The Grand Master finished laughing, touched Xiao Liangzi's head and shook his head, "I don't know what's going on! Hahaha..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the Grand Master helplessly - this person who encountered something he didn't understand at all was actually this reaction.

Pang Yu is quite familiar with his father. Although his father is always stupid and stupid when he encounters things, in fact, basically everything is under his control. This time he actually laughed, saying that it was really beyond his expectations.

Several wives from the Grand Tutor's Mansion gathered together to discuss, thinking that it was such an evil spirit.

Bai Yutang also came down from the roof and arrived beside Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly at the fifth master - did you see any tricks on the roof?

The fifth master shook his head and looked at Zhan Zhao - you didn't find any flaws when you looked closely?

Zhan Zhao shrugged helplessly.

"Where is the shark?" Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked Bai Yutang.

The fifth master glanced at him... the shark appeared.

After the "training" in Heifeng City for that period, the mermaid chess is already very big, so Baiyutang usually doesn't let him show up, otherwise it would be quite weird to see a giant following him. But the mermaid is ultimately the internal strength of the Ice Fish Clan, so as long as Baiyutang is in him, it will be there.

But after the shark appeared, he squatted aside and shook his head.

Zhan Zhao looked at the mermaid who was taller than him, which was also very awkward, and asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Can you make him smaller? If you go so big, you can't even hold it! Isn't it just internal force, like a steamed bun, maybe you can't get it smaller if you pinch it twice?"

The fifth master was slightly stunned for a moment, and for no reason he felt that Zhan Zhao's words seemed to inspire him, but he didn't know what he had figured out in detail. The fifth master couldn't help frowning.

Zhan Zhao reached out and patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder. That's what he meant - don't be impatient, you can always figure it out slowly.

There was a lot of discussion in the yard. Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi circled the pile of salt for several times, and the more they looked, the more incredible it became.

The Grand Master walked to Zhan Zhaohe Baiyutang.

The fifth master handed him the "ink strip" and the "paperweight box".

The Grand Master picked it up and looked at it, Zhan Zhao also looked closer, "What is this?"

The Grand Master stared at him for a while, tilted his head and thought for a while, and lifted the ink strip, "This looks familiar... right!"

The Grand Master gave the things to Zhan Zhao again, "That day, there was a wooden box in the yard of the Taiwei Mansion, and there were dilapidated ropes tied with shoulder poles..."

Bai Yutang couldn't help but look at the Taishi, thinking that - this is really not an ordinary person. Everyone's attention was in the cellar of the Taishi Mansion that day. Because he was afraid of being dirty and didn't go into the house to see the body, he studied the wooden box in the yard for a while. The Taishi went to persuade him to stand when the Hou Qingping and the Eighth Prince quarreled, and he actually noticed the box. Moreover, the Taishi's memory was very accurate. The fifth master just picked up the ink strip and felt familiar - just like the wood of the "coffin" he saw when he was holding Xiao Sizi and standing in the yard that day, with a black bottom, golden lacquer characters or patterns, and the meaning was unknown.

At this time, a sound of clamoring was heard outside. Everyone subconsciously looked up and unknowingly, it was already the third day of the day.

The Grand Master waved his hands to several wives and asked him to hug the child to go to bed.

The wife took Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi away, and pulled them away with Pang Yu. The little marquis was so scared that he had been completely awake. While following his mother out of the yard, he urged Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to stay for the night.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also sympathized with him - he was the one who hit a ghost every time, it was so miserable!

The Grand Master waved to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and signaled to follow him into the study.

After entering the house, the Grand Master asked Pang Fu to tell the two of them about the process of hitting the ghost that Pang Yu had just mentioned.

After listening, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt it was bizarre.

The fifth master asked, "Pang Yu said he saw the shadow of a bride?"

Pang Fu nodded, "Yes! We all heard the woman's screams."

"So it's a one-stroke?" Zhan Zhao shook the paperweight in his hand, "What the other party wants to steal is this thing."

"Maybe more than that." Taishi said, "When we entered the yard, the man in black was still in the study. If it was just this thing, he would just leave as soon as possible after getting it. He would still stay here, which means there are other things I want to find."

The Grand Master pointed to a few boxes on and under the table, "I have asked me to move the study room of the Taiwei Mansion... Humph."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both saw the Grand Master.

The Grand Master shook his head, "When he was in the Taiwei Mansion, that dark man...hehe, Lao Bao said, the study room was too messy, it seemed that someone had found something, but he was the darkest.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both silently reflected on it - is the study very messy? How can I see it?

The Grand Master asked Pang Fu to get a car and put the boxes intact, so that Zhan Zhao and the others could take them back to Kaifeng Mansion to Bao Zheng.

Zhan Zhao took the paperweight and asked Grandmaster Pang, "Taishi, is this thing from the Grandmaster?"

The Grand Master smiled, "Guardian Zhan, where would you hide if you hide something?"

Zhan Zhao thought about it, "Yeah..."

The Grand Master patted him, "Only those scholars would hide important things in paperweights. The Taiwei and the top scholar in the martial arts were born, and he was a military officer."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded.

"So this thing must have been obtained by him. But this thing is not very important, because it is placed everywhere. Unless you know that this thing exists, no one will take this paperweight even if there is a thief in your house."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both think it makes sense.

"But if there is something else, it is that the Taiwei is deliberately hiding it, which is not easy to find." The Taishi said, curling his lips slightly, "I won't mention Cao Kui's other side for the time being, but he is meticulous in dealing with people, is honest and upright in officials, and is a bit like Lao Bao."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at the Grand Master - Aiyou, are you praising Lord Bao?

"Ahem." The Grand Master curled his lips, "Anyway, let the old Bao look around, maybe you can find it soon."

"What else?"

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were about to say goodbye and leave, the Grand Master stopped them again.

The Grand Master stretched out two chubby fingers, "I have two more suggestions."

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang listened carefully.

"First of all, I still think that Cao Kui is a love-infatuated person. Whether he misses his deceased wife or not, he must have someone in his heart!" The Grand Master said with great confidence, "Everything he did is for this person!"

Bai Yutang was a little curious, "So sure?"

The Grand Master nodded, "How many people can get to the first rank from scratch? What's more, he is a military officer and has no military achievements. He must have outstanding talents. These days, he is a civilian, and he can be ranked first rank under fifty. One is a person like Bao Zheng or Gongsun, who is called the pride of heaven, and God is rewarded with food. The other is the one who has worked hard for everyone! I have to rely on my wife and daughter. Cao Kui has worked hard to make a name for himself. He is not greedy for money or profit, nor does he want to rebel and become an emperor. Instead, he has made some gods and ghosts at home... What do you think he wants?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both ecstatic - indeed, what was the Taiwei's goal?

"What is more terrifying in this world than talent is obsession!" said the Grand Master, "The Holy Spirit King has not stopped for a thousand years for the reincarnation of the spirit. You might as well check Lao Cao's background. This kind of obsession will not come out of thin air. There must be a past event."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded - what they said makes sense!

"The second point is." The Grand Master pointed to the pile of salt in the yard, "That!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both turned back.

"I don't know martial arts, but in my opinion, no matter who the murderer is, his kung fu will not be as good as you two."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at the Grand Master, what...

The Master smiled slightly, "No one in this world has better skills than you, except those who have become gods and Buddhas. He can be better than you, and he doesn't have to turn into salt to escape."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both amused the Grand Master.

"So there must be a trick here, but this trick has nothing to do with kung fu!" The Grand Master patted the two of them, "When you two think about this, you don't have to be too obsessed with kung fu, and try to find ancient methods."

"Ancient Method?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked in unison, "The Master thinks that this method of turning people into salt is an ancient method?"

The Taishi smiled slightly and touched his round belly. "The ancients knew the ancient methods, and the modern methods of people and people knew the modern methods. Only the modern methods of people and people could fool people. Some people must have hit this trick before, so check it in the past!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang all have to admire the Grand Master. This old man is too smart. It is true that there are records of martial artists turning into salt on the old scroll of the Dragon Picture. The Grand Master must have never read it, and it is all based on speculation.

After thanking the Grand Master, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang said goodbye and left. Pang Fu and his family generals also sent the files to Kaifeng Prefecture.

After this trip, it was almost 5:00, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to take a nap first.

But lying in the quilt, I was completely sleepy.

Zhan Zhao stared at Yaoyao's tail hanging in the half-hanging air, dazed in a daze.

Bai Yutang repeatedly saw the process of turning the man in black into salt just now. He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

After turning over two on the bed, Zhan Zhao suddenly sat up and asked Bai Yutang, "Would you like to have a midnight snack?"

Bai Yutang also sat up, "Go to Taibaiju for a drink?"

Zhan Zhao pulled his outer robe and put it on, "Let's go!"
