Chapter 530: Fire Moon Class 530(1/2)
The young monk also heard someone singing, but the content of the song was different from what everyone thought.
"One is buried in the melon field, and the other is buried in the orchard. When next spring comes, the garden will be full of fruits..." The young monk hummed a few words while recalling, "That's probably what it means."
Master Weichen looked at his young apprentice and asked him if he wanted to eat fruits in the middle of the night?
The young monk was quite embarrassed. He touched his bare head and said that he thought he was dreaming, but his senior fellow apprentices also heard it.
Several young monks nearby also nodded.
The young monks who heard the singing all slept in the cross-yard which was relatively close to this side hall.
Zhan Zhao asked them if they heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground?
Several young monks pointed to a circle of grapefruit trees nearby and said, "There are always grapefruits falling. They are used to it, so they don't pay much attention."
Zhan Zhao looked around and found that a lot of grapefruits had indeed fallen on the ground, some of which were dried.
Master Wu Sha also teased the young monk, "Why don't you pick a grapefruit and eat it?"
The young monks stuck out their tongues and said that the grapefruit was unpalatable, sour and bitter.
A few old men began to discuss the variety of grapefruit, saying that this kind of grapefruit could only be smelled, but it might be good to dry the skin and make tea...
Gongsun tried hard not to discuss the efficacy of grapefruit tea with the old men.
Zhan Zhao continued to scratch his head, "Buried in the melon field and buried in the orchard? Are there other corpses?"
"It feels different from the songs I heard before." Zhao Pu said, "Before, it said where it was thrown away, but here it says where it was buried... Could it be talking about the two heads?"
Zhan Zhao thought this was a possibility, so he asked, "Are there any melon fields or orchards nearby?"
The elder monk and the younger monk all pointed to the east and said that there was a Baizhuang orchard not far away.
"Baizhuang Orchard?" Fifth Master remembered it. He heard Bai Fu mention it before, saying that his father Bai Xia was planning to build a winery in Kaifeng City, and asked him to buy an orchard or something...it seemed like this Bai Zhuang.
orchard.
Anyway, it was their own land, so everyone just went to look for it.
The Fifth Master sent people to find Bai Fu, and sure enough, this orchard was bought by Bai Xia a while ago. However, not long after Zhuangzi bought it, the fruit trees were just planted, and the ground was full of melon seedlings without fruit.
Moreover, a winery is still being built in front of the orchard, and there are piles of wood and bricks everywhere.
Zhao Pu suggested that we let the dogs out to look for him.
After a while, Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo, who had just finished building the dog shed, came with the dog team from the military camp...
A large number of hunting dogs were released, and after a while, dogs barked everywhere.
Everyone ran over following the sound and saw the dogs divided into two waves, one in the orchard and one in the melon field, digging holes, apparently looking for something.
Zou Liang quickly called all the dogs back, and sent two waves of government servants to continue digging. Soon, he actually dug out two heads.
However, what was dug out was not a human head, but two pig heads.
Looking at the two pig heads with their big mouths grinning, Zhan Zhao and the others didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, Gongsun asked, "How does it feel?"
"provocative."
Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang answered together, and Zhan Zhao also nodded, "It does seem to be intentional. He knew we would come for him..."
Zhan Zhao frowned and looked at the two pig heads. This murderer is a bit brave... I thought he was a bit crazy at first. But now it seems that he is not only careful but also has the meaning of "a man of skill is bold". Near Nan'an Temple,
Near the military camp, there were no clues left that could lead to the identity of the murderer. Not only could the murderer not be found, but so far there were no clues about the deceased... The person I met this time was a master by visual inspection.
This murderer killed people and also mocked the Kaifeng Mansion. Not only Zhan Zhao and the others felt unhappy, but Gongsun also refused to do it.
The husband said "hum", took his son's hand and went back to the Yamen. He said that he wanted to cut the body into eight big pieces, but he didn't believe that there would be no clues.
Huofeng asked Zou Liang in a low voice, "Isn't the body cut into eight large pieces?"
Zou Liang nodded and asked the yamen servant to take the two pig heads back to his husband.
Zhan Zhao and the others went back to Nan'an Temple.
Zhao Pu went to pick up his master first. It can be said that the White Ghost King really has no taboos, and he still lives in the side hall like this.
Zhao Pu took the people back to Kaifeng Mansion first, saying that we can't live in the temple, there are perverts around here!
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to meet the Demon King. The old man said that there were a lot of people in the city recently, so he first stabilized the soy sauce team and had a few days of fasting at Nan'an Temple to get angry.
When he went back, Zhan Zhao kept scratching his head. As the saying goes, his grandfather's affairs have not been settled yet. Suddenly, such a strange murder case happened. He really didn't know what to do.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were walking side by side. Looking ahead, they saw Zhao Pu and Bai Gui Wang chatting as they walked. The old man might be sleepy and was yawning.
Zhao Pu kept pointing at the pit in front of him, fearing that he would trip over it.
The Fifth Master looked back again, and behind him Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang were looking at each other. They were talking about something unknown as they walked.
Then look at Zhan Zhao next to you.
The fifth master sighed silently, the cat had a sad face...
Fifth Master stretched out his hand and lightly scratched Zhan Zhao's chin twice.
Zhan Zhao looked up at him - he was too skillful in petting the cat!
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's expression and didn't know who he was fighting against. He leaned closer and reminded him in his ear, "Mao'er, I'm the one with facial paralysis."
Zhan Zhao blinked.
Bai Yutang pinched one of his cheeks and lifted the corner of his mouth, "You are the one who can smile."
…
As Zhao Pu and Yao Changtian were walking, they heard something moving behind them. When they turned around, they saw... Zhan Zhao was hugging the fifth master, with his arms around him, and his forehead was rubbing against his shoulder.
Bai Yutang couldn't walk straight anymore. The two of them were leaning against each other, walking crookedly...
Lin Yehuo curled his lips at the sight - these two are quite annoying!
Everyone spent the night at Nan'an Temple and the Orchard. By the time they returned to the Yamen Gate, it was almost midnight.
Just as he was about to return home, he heard the sound of the night watch coming from a distance.
Zhan Zhao took a few steps back and saw Xiao Wang yawning and walking slowly over on the dark road.
Xiao Wang was feeling sleepy when he felt someone suddenly pat him from behind.
"Oh mother..."
When he turned around, he first saw a red shadow. Xiao Wang was so frightened that he almost shouted "There's a ghost". After taking a closer look, he realized that it was Zhan Zhao.
"Master Zhan..." Xiao Wang patted his chest feeling aggrieved. What does that mean - why are you so scary in the middle of the night?
Zhan Zhao asked him, "Have you heard anyone singing in the past few nights?"
Xiao Wang was stunned, "Singing?"
Zhan Zhao nodded, "A young woman's voice sang a nursery rhyme."
"Oh my God..." Xiao Wang felt the hairs all over his body stand up and looked around, "Master Zhan, don't tease me!"
"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious." Zhan Zhao was helpless, wondering why he was still so timid despite being alerted every day, "Have you heard that?"
Xiao Wang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly, "What are you singing? Is it about throwing one part from the roof and one part from the treetops..."
"Yes!" Zhan Zhao nodded, "Have you heard that?"
Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo were also attracted by the conversation here, and both came over to listen.
Seeing Zhan Zhao's serious look, Xiao Wang snorted, "Mr. Zhan, you said you didn't mean to scare me! Isn't this the play performed by the Huoyue Troupe!"
"What?" Zhan Zhao made Xiao Wang stunned, "Huoyue Class?"
"Yes." Xiao Wang nodded, "I heard Old Liu Tou say it not long ago, Mr. Zhan, you are just teasing me!"
"What is the Huoyue Troupe?" Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo had never heard of it, so they asked Xiao Wang in confusion, "Is it a theater troupe?"
"Oh?" Xiao Wang looked at the three of them and they didn't look like they were looking for fun with him. Thinking about it, although Zhan Zhao sometimes teased him, he had never scared him.
"Master Zhan, have you never been there?" Xiao Wang thought for a moment and touched his chin, "That's true. Serious people like you probably won't go to that place."
"Tell me more specifically." Zhan Zhao asked.
"It's just the building boats near Baihu Bridge." Xiao Wang said, "Many of them are from out of town. Is this a place for men to drink flower wine?"
There are indeed many foreign painted boats near Baihu Bridge, most of which are high-rise boats. Dragons and snakes are mixed in the area. These boats are also called wild boats, and they are a place for drinking flower wine.
"The Huoyue class is very popular. I'm afraid that my wife will scold me, so I haven't been there, but I heard from the old man Liu who works with me that he will grow old." Xiao Wang told everyone, "The Huoyue class is very popular.
Boats come every autumn, just these few months. There are other three types: gold, wood, and earth, all of which are places for drinking and having fun. The patterns of each boat are different. Gold boats are for making money, and wooden boats are for singers.
The singers, Tuchuan are the jugglers, and Huoyuan are the dancers. They put on a play every year. Huoyue Ban is the nickname of Huoyuan. Their plays are different from serious theaters such as Caifeng Tower in the city.
Likewise, there are no dramas about talented people and beauties, they are all very exciting dramas. There are fox monsters seeking their lives, mountain aunts cannibalizing people... This year, the dramas played are about evil ghosts seeking their lives, and they are said to be particularly good-looking."
"Do all those dancers have long red nails?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Xiao Wang said that he didn't know the details and had to ask Lao Liu, but Lao Liu had been absent from work for several days. He had no one to work shifts these days, so he was very sleepy.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and Lin Yehuo thought for a while, "Lao Liu who is on duty? Is he in his forties?"
