Chapter 88: Bai Hui’s Head is Welcome(2/2)
"Ha!" Bao Ding chuckled and said: "It seems that the only way to break the situation lies with the Black Dragon Society. Let's go! Let me go and find out how good this local snake is!"
The three of them soon arrived at the courtyard of "The Guard of Shettis".
This is a three-entry courtyard.
The grand street gate has a pair of stone lions in front of it, and there are horse mounting stones and horse tethering posts beside the gate.
The street gate is carved with a door heart, and the couplet is "loyalty will be passed down to the family for a long time, and poems and books will help the world for a long time."
You can think back to the time when it was mostly a prosperous place, and perhaps it was like a bustling city.
Now that I see this couplet, especially the content of the two sentences above, I am afraid it is more of a mockery.
The plaque "Guarded by the Chief of Police" is a horizontal plaque and is hung above the street gate.
Bao Ding handed the reins to the yamen who was waiting aside, followed Bai Weng and Deputy Fu Tuan into the yard, and looked around.
However, before they even took a second look, the three of them heard the scolding of a government official coming from the direction of the east wing of the courtyard.
"Over there are the food storage room, the kitchen, and the stables." Bai Weng introduced as he walked.
The three of them came to the stable and saw the tall horse eating hay alone in front of him. The bean cake was broken into two halves and placed next to the water tank before he could be fed.
Bao Ding looked at the saddle that had been removed with a sullen face. There was a weapon wrapped in old cloth missing from it.
It was a ghost-slaying bone sword in the shape of a ring-headed sword.
Not long after, the yamen servant ran back panting and apologized to everyone: "My subordinate has just taken off the saddle and is drinking the horse."
"Somehow an urchin slipped in and stole the fabric."
