194,194 Lin'an Suspects(1/2)
"West Lake ah ah ah!"
"Beautiful view!"
On the shore of the West Lake, a well-dressed young man with four lively and cute children ran forward while shouting. Behind him, a helpless and "young and promising" looking boy was chasing after him.
Pedestrians passing by looked at the children, one big and four small. They thought it was the first time for out-of-towners to visit the West Lake. The four children were just making trouble. Why did this grown-up look like he had never seen the world?
And this young master who has never seen the world is none other than the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen.
…
After solving the Shanshen Palace case, everyone in Kaifeng took carriages to Lin'an Mansion, which is also the city of Hangzhou.
Going to Jiangnan? How can you count yourself as having traveled to Jiangnan if you haven’t been to Hangzhou?
Originally, when the carriage entered the city, it was going to another courtyard, but Zhao Zhen was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, rushing straight into the West Lake, unable to stop him.
The four children, one from the northwest and the other from the southwest, and two from the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Sizi and Shen Yuanchen have been to the West Lake more than once, but this is the first time for Xiao Liangzi and Tang Luomei, and Sayazi runs with Zhao Zhen.
Nangong chased after him with a look of weakness on his face, thinking, just stay up a little longer and get to the other courtyard. First, hand the emperor over to Concubine Pang and Xiangxiang, so that he can take some time to sleep, preferably for a full twelve hours!
Finally, before Zhao Zhen rushed onto the broken bridge, Nangong grabbed his belt.
Xiao Liangzi and Shen Yuanchen were also caught by two shadow guards.
Zhao Zhen looked back at Nangong, what he meant was - let go! I want to swim in the West Lake!
Nangong shook his head - go to the other courtyard first!
Zhao Zhen curled his lips and was about to refuse when Nangong said, "The princess may be waiting for the emperor at the gate of the other courtyard!"
Zhao Zhen stopped in his tracks. No matter how beautiful the West Lake is, it cannot compare to his daughter. When he thought of Xiangxiang and Concubine Pang, the emperor turned around and said, "Then go to the other courtyard first!"
Nangong let out a sigh of relief - finally...
Pulling the "stragglers" back to the car, the procession of carriages and horses arrived in front of the gate of the Royal Courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, the prefect of Lin'an and a group of officials from Liangzhe Road were waiting for him for nine days.
After all, it was impossible for Concubine Pang to move into the Royal Courtyard without alerting the local officials. The prefect of Lin'an waited and waited every day, and finally the emperor came.
Master Bao and the Grand Master also came to the door to greet him.
These two adults have had a good rest these days and are in good spirits.
The carriage stopped, Nangong lifted the curtain, and Zhao Zhen jumped out of the carriage. Before the officials at the door saluted and paid homage, the emperor rushed towards Mr. Bao and the Grand Master, shouting, "Ai Qing ah ah ah
ah!"
Master Bao and the Grand Master both nodded and nodded - Is the Emperor in good spirits?
Qin Rui, the prefect of Lin'an, came to see Zhao Zhen.
The emperor quickly helped him up. The beloved on the left had worked hard, and the beloved on the right had not seen him for a long time. He also asked all the beloved who picked him up to stay flat.
At this time, in the other courtyard, the eldest lady of Taishi's family also came with Xiangxiang in her arms. Xiangxiang waved from a distance, "Father, Emperor!"
Zhao Zhen said "Alas!" and ran towards his daughter.
After holding Xiangxiang and spinning around in his arms, Zhao Zhen followed his mother-in-law to see Concubine Pang.
Zhao Pu also arrived, and the officials saluted the Ninth Prince again. The prince waved his robe sleeves and raised his chin - I haven't seen you for a while, buddy!
There were troops stationed along the two Zhejiang roads, and all the soldiers seemed to be very excited when they saw Zhao Pu.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also dismounted and came over to pay homage to Master Bao.
Mr. Bao had been looking around for a long time and was relieved to see that Zhan Zhao was neither fat nor thin and was in good spirits.
The Grand Master was quite curious and asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Is it done?"
Zhan Zhao opened the curtain of the carriage.
Xiao Wu seemed to have just woken up, yawned, stretched out and shook his back hair, and jumped out of the carriage amidst the exclamations of the officials.
Following Xiao Wu, Yin Xue also walked out.
Master Bao and Taishi stared at Yinxue with wide eyes.
The Grand Master gave Xiao Wu a thumbs up.
Xiaowu strolled over to meet Master Bao and the Grand Master. Behind Yinxue, Lu Xiaoxiao also walked out holding Jin Ye, followed by two little foxes.
Master Bao and the Grand Master were stunned.
Ouyang, who had arranged the imperial army at the back, rushed over quickly and reached out to help Xiaoxiao.
Tianshi and Lord Bao looked at each other and looked at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao winked at them and whispered, "Little peach blossom!"
Master Bao and Grand Master both opened their mouths - Oops! Double happiness is coming.
The two adults were surprised when they heard a familiar voice, "Baobao! Little Fatty!"
"Alas!" The two adults agreed in unison, and when they turned around, they saw the fourth boy running towards them.
The grand master and Mr. Bao were excited—oh! The dumplings haven’t changed at all!
Gongsun came with his four children and Lin Yehuo Zou Liang to pay homage to Master Bao and the Grand Master.
The last carriage arrived in front of the door, and the Demon King came down with Tianzun and Yin Hou.
Master Bao and the Grand Master hurriedly came forward to greet him.
Lin'an Mansion and other officials didn't know why the two adults saluted the three young men, but they just followed the salute.
The Demon King also said hello to everyone, and the Grand Master and Master Bao both greeted Tianzun Yinhou.
The grand master noticed that Yin Hou seemed to be wearing a new "scarf" and wondered what kind of material it was made of? It looked like snakeskin... Can snakeskin be warm?
While he was studying, he saw the scarf raised his head and stuck out his tongue.
Lin'an Mansion was shocked, wondering if there were so many strange people in Kaifeng...
Just as they were wondering, they heard the wind blowing above their heads. When everyone looked up, a huge white dragon spread its wings and flew over their heads, then fluttered its wings and landed in front of the gate.
The officials were so shocked that they fled for cover.
Yaoyao fell behind the Grand Master and Master Bao, and stretched out his big head.
The Grand Master and Mr. Bao touched their heads together and felt that they had grown older after not seeing each other for more than ten days.
The prefect of Lin'an looked at the dragon and tiger in front of him in horror. He lowered his head and saw a majestic big wolf dog following Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang.
The prefect thought - could this be the three-pointed guillotine of Kaifeng Prefecture? It happened to be a dragon-headed guillotine, a tiger-headed guillotine and a dog-headed guillotine! Is this a spirit?
Let’s not talk about the imaginative magistrate, let’s talk about the people in Kaifeng who stayed in the other courtyard.
The Royal Villa is equivalent to a palace and is huge in scale.
When Lin Yehuo entered the other courtyard, he first looked around for the girl. After not seeing her for a long time, Yiyi didn't know what happened to her.
However, none of the Taixue students live in other courtyards. They all live in the old residence of Xie Yan's family in Hangzhou.
Mr. Bao said that he has sent someone to deliver the message and they will probably arrive soon.
…
Everyone settled down first, and when they were having dinner, all the young talents from Taixue came.
Yiyi called "brother" only to Lin Yehuo.
Huofeng opened his hands and was about to hug his sister, but Yiyi ran up to him and suddenly turned and tackled Yinxue, "Ah! Silver tiger!"
Zhao Lan and others also rushed over to look at Yin Xue and praised her beauty.
Bao Yan and Pang Yu kept patting Xiaowu on the back, congratulating it on getting "a beautiful wife like a flower".
Lin Yehuo hugged the mute who was also a little disappointed, but Yiyi actually hugged the big cat first!
Several old men and women in the Demon Palace have gone back to the Demon Palace, leaving only Granny Heishui and Jiuniang Wu Yifu.
Long Qiaoguang took Tang Xiaomei out to watch the little peach blossom. The little sister acted like a sister-in-law and was responsible for taking care of Lu Xiaoxiao.
Zhao Pu and his brothers gathered together to discuss whether they should exchange for Lao He personally in a while, or simply go to Black Wind City, otherwise Lao He would fall out because he had never seen Xiao Taohua.
…
After a lot of work, everyone finally settled down. After resting for two days, they all regained their energy and were ready to get down to business.
…
Early that morning, Gongsun and Chaoyang Mahan took out some of the unsolved files about Lin'an Prefecture from the Dragon Pattern Volume.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also got up, had breakfast, and went to the study together.
Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun were sorting the files in the study room.
The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture sent someone to deliver the investigation records of the relevant case files early in the morning.
Because Mr. Bao was on a patrol to inspect the dragon pattern scroll in Kaifeng Prefecture, local officials could not interfere and could only cooperate. Therefore, the Qin Prefecture sent several masters and detectives from Hangzhou Prefecture who were familiar with the case.
Throughout the morning, Mr. Bao led everyone to study the files and sort out several cases to be investigated.
To be continued...
