12,12 Impermanence(1/2)

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang followed Chen Tianyu, and walked around the streets and alleys. The more you walked, the more you felt the road was familiar.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "This road seems to be going..."

Before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Chen Tianyu stopped and turned his face to look at the steps beside him. He seemed to be embarrassed and scratched his head.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both amused and crying. Whose door was Chen Tianyu standing at?

Kaifeng Prefecture!

The fifth master suddenly understood, "No wonder he was so low-key. He came to Kaifeng Prefecture to lead the people?"

Zhan Zhao also nodded, "I guess it's because his disciples of Tianyuxuan witnessed the salt change. They must have been taken to Kaifeng Mansion for questioning. Maybe they are really his son."

Chen Tianyu walked back and forth in front of Kaifeng Mansion a few steps, and a yamen runner came out to ask him, "Uncle, why are you wandering outside the door? Do you want to report the case?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and almost couldn't help laughing. Chen Tianyu was a well-known figure in the world, and was actually recognized as an ordinary uncle.

"Uh..." Chen Tianyu was also embarrassed and looked around and thought to himself that if this scene was seen by friends in the martial arts world, would he still be able to get along in the future?

Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao and signaled - to meet him by chance!

Zhan Zhao saw Chen Tianyu hesitating for a long time and wanted to give up. How could he let him run away? He quickly went to meet his own mouse.

Chen Tianyu lowered his head and turned around, thinking that he might as well wait. After walking back two steps, a voice came, "Hey? Isn't this Master Chen?"

Chen Tianyu was stunned and looked up and became more and more embarrassed - he was really afraid of anything he wanted.

Zhan Zhao smiled and bowed to Chen Tianyu, "What's the point of doing with Master Chen?"

"Ahem... Lord Zhan, I haven't seen you for a long time." Chen Tianyu forced a smile on his face, and nodded to Bai Yutang, "Young Master Bai is here too."

Bai Yutang nodded and looked at Chen Tianyu. Although this person was a little disagreeable with Zhan Zhao, he was just a subordinate who came to Kaifeng Prefecture to witness the incident. Is it so shameful?

"father?"

A call interrupted the slightly awkward look in front of Kaifeng Mansion.

All three of them turned their faces and saw a boy running down on the steps and reaching Chen Tianyu's side.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at the boy. His appearance was very similar to Shen Tianyu and he looked good at kung fu.

Chen Tianyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and introduced Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang, "Duzi, Shen Mao."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang all knew it - it was really a son.

Shen Mao opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and poked Chen Tianyu while saying, "Dad, Zhan Zhao is obviously very handsome... Woo."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Tianyu covered his mouth.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both raised their eyebrows. It seemed that Chen Tianyu didn't say less bad things about Zhan Zhao behind his back.

"Why is Mr. Chen in Kaifeng Prefecture?" Zhan Zhao pretended to be confused and asked.

"Uh..." Chen Tianyu was hesitating about how to answer, and Shen Maoke was excited, "Didn't you hear that, Lord Zhan? A candidate suddenly turned into salt in the martial arts examination room just now! I saw it with my own eyes! Just when I was competing with me, I was so evil that I watched him scatter all over the floor..."

Chen Tianyu looked at his son speechlessly.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin and said to himself, "Oh, it turns out he is a stupid son."

Bai Yutang had a good impression of Shen Mao, and was straightforward and stunned, a bit like the group of stupid apprentices of the Tianshan Sect.

Zhan Zhao asked, "So Mr. Chen witnessed the whole process?"

Shen Mao nodded, "Yes! I told Master Bao everything I saw just now! Master Bao is so kind, not fierce at all."

As he said that, Shen Mao was quite excited to pull Chen Tianyu, "Dad! I saw Zhao Pu! He is so handsome!"

Chen Tianyu held his excited son helplessly and looked at Zhan Zhao. That's what it means.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Chen Tianyu and asked, "President Chen, do you have any opinions on this case?"

Chen Tianyu shook his head slightly, complained to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang before replying, and was about to pull his son away.

Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "It's better to meet me by chance than to have a meal together?"

Chen Tianyu looked at Zhan Zhao suspiciously, what does that mean - to eat?

Just as he was about to refuse, Bai Yutang said, "I happened to have an appointment with my master in Taibaiju..."

Before Chen Tianyu could speak, Shen Mao's eyes lit up, "Heaven... Heavenly Lord?!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Well, my grandfather is here too..."

"Mr. Yin is here too?" Shen Mao didn't remember who his father was, so he nodded quickly, "Okay, okay! Let's go for a meal and let my father treat him!"

Chen Tianyu sighed with his forehead.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang nodded silently - this must be his own son!

Zhan Zhao invited the father and son to Taibaiju, and Shen Mao happily followed Zhan Zhao and chatted while walking.

Bai Yutang looked at Chen Tianyu who was following with great worries, and was also a little confused. Tianyuxuan is also a big family and a big business. Chen Tianyu is a person who is usually very arrogant. What happened to him today?

...

In the coroner room in Kaifeng Prefecture, Gongsun looked at the broken boxes on the table and the two baskets of salt next to it, and was a little puzzled, "How many people sold salt have they killed?"

Long Qiaoguang pointed to Gongsun two baskets of salt and said, "This basket was picked up by Zhan Zhao halfway through the box, and this basket belongs to the candidate who turned into salt on the ring."

The Ninth Prince carefully studied the two baskets of salt, "I can't see any difference."

Gongsun looked at the wooden box on the table, and finally turned around to see the corpse tied into a zongzi-shaped body with cotton cloth.

"Where is that turtle?" Zhao Pu asked Zheying.

"The big jar next to their stable was wrapped up, and the jar was covered with sand."

Zhao Pu nodded and glanced at Gongsun who was circling around the "zongzi".

Long Qiaoguang looked at the corpse and started nagging again, "Why should the corpse be wrapped in cloth strips? Why is it so thin? Is it sure it is a corpse? Who is so immoral? Why is Kaifeng Mansion less peaceful than Heifeng City..."

Gongsun raised his head and glared at Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu pulled the right general's collar and threw him out, asking him to go back to the general's mansion to accompany his wife to give birth to a child, and don't stumble around.

After sending Long Qiaoguang away, Gongsun took a pair of scissors and prepared to cut open the cloth strips.

Gongsun was still more careful. He started with his feet and took two scissors. He originally thought he could see the skin, but after cutting it, he saw a black cloth roll.

Gongsun blinked, "Huh?"

"Black cloth... clothes?" Zhao Pu wondered, "It seems that there is something inside."

Gongsun tilted his head and thought, "Isn't it a dummy?"

Cut a little black cloth and you will hear a "click" sound, and a copper coin fell out.

"One penny!" Gongsun shook his leg and a handful of copper plates fell out of the hole.

"This is the money I used for??" Zhao Pu looked at the two copper plates for a while.

Gongsun nodded, "Yes! It's quite new."

Gongsun cut out some cloth strips and pulled out several long black cloth rolls from it. The cloth rolls were knotted at both ends, with a roll of copper coins in the middle.

"No wonder it doesn't make a rush, it's all divided one by one." Seeing Gongsun pulling out a few more copper coins, the Ninth Prince found it interesting, "Who has hidden the private money? It looks like a corpse? It's a bit amazing!"

"Does it take so much?" Gongsun pulled out more than a dozen cloth rolls from one leg of the body. "It only costs a total of this total, and it doesn't matter if it is exchanged for silver or not."

Gongsun was going to demolish him, but Zhao Pu suddenly reached out to stop him, "Oh, wait."

Gongsun looked at him.

Zhao Pu took a cloth scroll to Gongsun, "You see there are words on it."

Gongsun took it and took a look, and saw a line of small red characters on the scroll - the soul returns to heaven, the body returns to earth; death is divided, and the model is not saved.

Gongsun was stunned and muttered twice, "There is no difference between death and no rescue...Fan is no rescue..."

"Oh!" Gongsun threw the scroll back, "Hei Wuchang!"

The Ninth Prince curled his lips. Although he was not very keen on these gods and ghosts, Hei Bai Wuchang still knew that Bai Wuchang was "Living Impermanent, Thank You for Your Own", Hei Wuchang was "Death is divided but not saved", and both of them were the soul-catching messengers often mentioned in Taoism.

"This is too unlucky when it is blue and white." The Ninth Prince was helpless. He originally wanted to say that it was not a corpse after a long time, and Zhan Zhao was not so unlucky, but now he thought that this unlucky is more than a mortal level. What kind of thing was picked up on the road?

Gongsun also put down his scissors, stuffed the copper coins just now back into the cloth roll, and stuffed them all back, "Otherwise, I'll find a Taoist priest to see it later."

After saying that, Gongsun walked out.

The Ninth Prince went out and asked, "Where are you going?"

Gongsun walked towards the study, "First find Lord Bao to wipe his hands and get rid of bad luck!"

...

At the same time, Zou Liang found a shopkeeper in the largest salt shop in the east of the city.

Lin Yehuo visited the salt shop with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the shopkeeper looked very familiar with Zou Liang, he came over to listen to their speech.

General Zuo took out the paper bag and gave it to the shopkeeper's review.

The shopkeeper smelled it, looked at it, and wanted to taste it again.

However, when Zou Liang stopped him, General Zuo did not tell him that this was changed by humans, and he just said that it was not clean and picked up from the ground.

The shopkeeper didn't ask much, studied it for a while, and said, "This is good salt, it looks like Yuxuan salt."
