Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang made the Grand Master amused.

"So there must be a way here, but it has nothing to do with Kung Fu!" The Grand Master patted the two of them, "When you two are thinking about this matter, you don't need to be too obsessed with Kung Fu, and try to find ancient methods.

"

"Ancient method?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked in unison, "Master, do you think this method of turning people into salt is an ancient method?"

The grand master smiled slightly and touched his round belly, "The ancients knew the ancient methods, and the modern people know the modern methods. Only the ancient methods of the modern people can deceive the modern people. There must have been people who fell into this trick before.

Go check it out!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had to admire the Grand Master. This old man was too shrewd. Indeed, there was a record of a former military student turning into salt in the old scroll of the Dragon Picture. The Grand Master had definitely not read it, so it was all based on speculation.

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

After this trip, it was almost five o'clock, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to take a nap first.

But lying on the bed, I didn't feel sleepy at all.

Zhan Zhao stared at Yaoyao's tail hanging in mid-air, swaying slowly in a daze.

The process of the man in black turning into salt repeatedly appeared before Bai Yutang's eyes. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

After turning over on the bed, Zhan Zhao suddenly sat up and asked Bai Yutang, "Are you having midnight snack?"

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

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

…

Of course Taibaiju is not open until dawn, but the back kitchen is very busy. The cooks and workers are preparing today's ingredients, and some stews have already been cooked.

The God of Cooking Guo Tian happened to be there, and when he saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang running away, he fried two side dishes, boiled a pot of wine, and sat down with them to drink two glasses of wine.

After a few glasses of wine and a slight breeze blowing, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt less annoyed.

Bai Yutang asked Guo Tian, ​​what is the difference between salt and salt.

Zhan Zhao felt that Master Wu had asked the right person. The person who knew the most about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the world was the cook!

"That's a big difference!" Guo Tiandao, "Not to mention the place of origin, just the coarse salt and fine salt are different. The drying method is different, and the taste is different."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought that Kaifeng Mansion would need a lot more salt, so they felt that the wine had a salty taste.

Guo Tianle was amused and asked, "Are you two investigating the case? I've heard about it too. Candidates who have been studying hard have suddenly turned into salt."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded accordingly.

"I thought you two didn't investigate this case." Guo Tian held his chin and poured wine for the two of them. "After all, the most serious case reported recently is the case of the Taiwei killing his family."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang then sighed.

"Speaking of Taiwei Cao Kui, I know someone. He said that he and Taiwei are fellow villagers."

After Guo Tian's words, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang immediately became energetic and stared at him - fellow countrymen?

Guo Tiandao, "Don't I always go to Sanjia to make money on weekdays? There is a gambling friend named Huang Wan who promotes Pai Gow. He is from the northwest. He sells some local products from the northwest on weekdays. He is very popular. I often buy some rare ingredients from him. Yes.

One time when we were gambling, he boasted wildly, saying that he and Taiwei Cao Kui were fellow villagers. We all thought he was bragging at the time, but when he saw that we didn't believe it, he became anxious and said that Taiwei Cao often asked him to buy things from his hometown in the northwest.

This thing is quite ripe."

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Is Taiwei from the northwest?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, "How did I hear that his hometown is Yingtian Mansion?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Doro said that his father, Duo Qi, had known Cao Kui for a long time, and even knew his wife. Where is Doro from?"

"People from Yingtian Mansion." Zhan Zhao was very sure, "Doro told us about his ancestral home, Yingtian Mansion."

"Where is your friend Huang Wan from?" Bai Yutang asked Guo Tian.

"People from Xizhou."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little puzzled, "Xizhou is not far from Black Wind City, is it so far?"

Guo Tian, ​​"So is Huang Wan really bragging?"

"Where can I find Huang Wan?" Zhan Zhao asked Guo Tian.

"There is a northwest winery in Sanjia Alley, which is owned by his family." Guo Tiandao, "He is active in that area on weekdays, either in the shop or going to the gambling house in the back alley to gamble."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang planned to go take a look at dawn.

Zhan Zhao straightened his chest and winked at Bai Yutang, that means - rat! See! If he hadn't come for a late night snack, he wouldn't have had this clue! Master Cat is about to turn his fortune around!

Bai Yutang held a wine glass in one hand and served Zhan Zhao some food with the other, nodding and coaxing him - there are so many cats in the world, but you are the best!

After drinking a few glasses of wine and picking up a clue for nothing, the two of them suddenly felt sleepy. They ran back to Kaifeng Mansion and fell asleep with their heads covered. When they woke up, it was already dawn.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got up in high spirits and prepared to investigate the case.

When I left the room, I met Gongsun coming out of the room opposite with his head lowered. Mr. Gongsun was quite funny. This time he didn't take the medicine box, but a money bag, and seemed to count the money as he walked.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both curious and went over to take a look.

When Gongsun raised his head and saw them, he was startled. He looked around and asked, "Is the fourth son back?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both shook their heads. After all the fuss last night, the two children probably haven't woken up yet.

Gongsun nodded and put his money bag away, as if he was going out to buy something.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurried out and met Lin Yehuo, who was yawning and stretching at the entrance of the courtyard.

When Huofeng saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yu following Gongsun, he followed suit, "Where are you going?"

Gongsun said, "Go to the gold shop."

"Sir, do you want to buy goldware?"

Gongsun nodded, "The Demon King told me two days ago that he would buy the fourth son a small golden pig to wear when he has time. It can ward off evil spirits and reduce nightmares."

Fifth Master just took a glance and found that there was a lot of money in the wallet, "How big of a golden pig should I buy?"

Gongsun waved his hand, "Buy a few more and put them at home to save him from having weird dreams all day long! Why not order a golden pig pillow!"

Zhan Zhao and the others couldn't laugh or cry. Gongsun, the father, was also tired. His son was gifted with magical powers, and the father really couldn't sleep well.

"Are you going alone? Without Zhao Pu?" Zhan Zhao was a little worried. After all, Mr. Gongsun was the treasure of his Kaifeng Mansion.

"Zhao Pu went to the examination room again early in the morning and said that today's test is more important than equestrian."

"Then I'll go with you." Lin Yehuo was interested in going to the gold shop when he heard about it. He just happened to see if there were any good-looking gold bracelets and buy one for his girl.

Gongsun and Lin Yehuo walked away together. As they walked, they discussed which gold shop to go to, whether the Chen family or Liu Ji was better.
