Zhan Zhao held the fourth son in his arms and led the government officials to the boundary monument of Shili Pavilion outside the East City Gate.

Sure enough, there was a mound next to the boundary monument with a lot of weeds growing on it.

Zhan Zhao asked the fourth son, "Is it here?"

The fourth boy tilted his head and looked at the boundary monument and then at the grass. He touched his chin with his little hand, "Hmm...it seems..."

The fourth son was a little unsure. At the moment he saw it, the grass seemed to be on the left side of the boundary monument, but now he saw that the grass was on the right side of the boundary monument.

Zhan Zhao said that this was no big deal, so he dug up both sides and took a look!

The officials dug it out with shovels and pickaxes.

Lin Yehuo and Bai Yutang also arrived, and they thoughtfully rented a small carriage for Gongsun on the road, fearing that their husband would get tired from following them.

Zhan Zhao put the fourth son on the pony carriage, took a shovel, and started digging with the government officials.

On a good day, Fang and Gongsun were sitting side by side on the carriage. Lin Yehuo took the peaches he bought on the road and gave them to them. Then they sat in a row and ate the peaches together.

The fifth master raised his head and looked into the distance. This area was quite desolate. Behind the Shiliting Pavilion was a large wasteland. There was a river in the distance, and there were large fields behind the river.

Gongsun gnawed on the peach and purred his son's round head.

However, Tuanzi held the peach but did not eat it. He tilted his head and stared at the boundary monument... The little fourth son always felt that the grass was a little different from what he saw, and even the boundary monument seemed to be a little different... This boundary monument was upright, and he

The boundary marker I saw was a bit crooked.

After digging for about half an hour, pits more than five feet deep were dug around the boundary monument, but no body was found.

This piece of land is quite hard, and there are a lot of hard lumps in the soil.

All the government officials looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao looked back at Bai Yutang.

Everyone was surprised - the fourth son was not accurate?!

Gongsun quickly hugged his son - ah! Is the setback in his son's life finally coming?!

At this time, an older government official asked Zhan Zhao, "Could it be the old boundary monument from before?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "Are there two more boundary monuments?"

The yamen officer pointed to the wasteland in the distance and said, "This road was newly built thirty years ago. In the past, the way to the east city gate had to be taken from the road by the river in the distance. Later, when the road was being built, the winding road was made into a straight road. It is ten miles away."

Tingyi Station has also been moved forward."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly hugged the fourth son and ran away. Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo also followed.

Everyone dispersed and searched in the wasteland. After a while, Lin Yehuo waved, "This way, this way!"

Everyone ran over and saw that it was true! There was a very old boundary monument, half buried and half exposed in the mound of soil. On the right side of the boundary monument, there was a large patch of weeds.

The fourth son looked at the slightly crooked boundary marker and pointed with his little hand, "Ah! This is it!"

Zhan Zhao called the government officials to come over and continue digging.

The fourth son also felt that this time it was right, so he ate the peach with confidence.

However……

After digging for more than three feet, we still didn't see the body.

Lin Yehuo and Bai Yutang both looked at the fourth son, who was also stunned. Gongsun was swinging back and forth with his son in his arms - ah! The second setback came so quickly!

Zhan Zhao thought it might be buried deep, so he asked him to dig deeper.

But after digging for a while, there was still nothing.

Lin Yehuo was shocked and winked at Bai Yutang - What happened? The dumpling actually malfunctioned?

Gongsun hugged his son distressedly - Oh, I just said he has lost weight recently! What kind of weight loss? The magical power is all in the meat!

At a good time, the four Americans ran to look nearby to see if there was a third boundary monument.

The fifth master felt that the possibility of the fourth son making a mistake was relatively small. After thinking about it, he asked, "Could it be true that someone had buried it before... and then it was poached?"

Zhan Zhao thought it was possible, so he asked several government officials to use dustpans to sift the previously dug soil, and the remaining people dug deeper.

The government officials split up to work...

After a while, a government servant sifting through the soil held up a black jade ring and said, "There is a ring in the soil!"

"There's another earring!" Another one also found it.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and saw that the ring was made of black jade and did not look like the style worn by women. The earrings were made of gold and were broken into two pieces. When put together, they looked like a bunch of grapes. The style was quite unique.

"Master Zhan!"

At this time, Ma Han, who had jumped into the pit to dig soil, suddenly shouted.

Bai Yutang was at the edge of the pit, and saw Ma Han dig out a shoe. Although it looked dirty, it must have been a woman's embroidered shoe.

Gongsun found a handkerchief and took the shoe, and carefully cleaned it. Although it had turned into dark brown, you could vaguely make out the flowers embroidered on the shoe, which looked like lotus shapes.

Everyone looked at each other - indeed the dumplings were correct!

The fourth son pursed his lips and looked at his father - where are all the magical powers?

Gongsun rubs his son's little face - it's all cute!

Xiao Liangzi and others squatted by the pit and looked down. There was no body in the pit, so they asked, "So the body was dug up?"

Lin Yehuo thought there was another possibility, "Maybe the person didn't die and crawled out on his own and ran away."

Everyone looked at the fire phoenix - this idea was a bit scary, but it didn't seem impossible.

While we were chatting, raindrops began to fall from the sky, accompanied by a sudden strong wind and thunder above our heads.

Zhan Zhao directed everyone to quickly fill up the hole, and then returned to Kaifeng together.

After returning to the Yamen, everyone who was covered in dirt went back to their rooms to take a shower and change clothes.

Zhao Pu and Zou Liang also happened to come back. Gongsun handed his son to Zhao Pu and ran to take a bath.

The Ninth Prince returned to the room with the dumplings in hand, and saw the fourth son with his head tilted and his arms folded, as if he was thinking about something.

"Jiujiu." The fourth son put his arms around Zhao Pu's neck and asked, "What is the official position of someone with a unicorn on his boots?"

Zhao Pu asked, "What kind of Qilin beast is it?"

Putting the dumplings on the table, Zhao Pu took out a pen and paper and gave them to him.

The fourth child began to draw seriously while reminiscing.

When Gongsun came back after washing and changing clothes, he saw that the fourth son had already drawn several pages of paper, and Zhao Pu was reading it.

Gongsun wiped his hair and came over to take a look.

The Ninth Prince's eyes and thoughts drifted to Gongsun beside him...

The fourth boy drew a pair of boots, half a sword, and an injured man's hand.

Tuanzi is still recalling the scene he saw before. Since no body was found, all clues only come from the scene he saw.

What the fourth son saw was two men digging a hole together and burying a woman wrapped in a mat into the hole.

He didn't see the faces of the two men, only the boots of one man and the sword hanging on the waist of the other man.

Gongsun looked at the picture of boots and asked Zhao Pu, "They don't look like ordinary boots."

Zhao Pu finally turned around, coughed and nodded, saying that the Qilin beast displayed right in front of the boot leg looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it before...

Gongsun felt that the sword, judging from the hilt, looked like a precious sword inlaid with precious stones.

The fourth son also said that the two people looked very rich in their clothes.

Zhao Pu asked the fourth son to think again and draw everything that came to mind. He took the handkerchief and helped Gongsun wipe his hair.

…

In the Meow Meow Building, as soon as Mr. Wu changed his clothes and sat down, he was entangled by three little tigers.

After the Miaomiao Building was expanded, Xiaowu and Yinxue's family also moved back in. The three little tigers were so fat that they ate all kinds of skins every day.

Fifth Master sat down next to Xiao Wu's nest, picked up the three little fat tigers and put them on his lap.

Yaoyao was hanging upside down on the beam, and his big tail was sweeping the fifth master's hair.

The fifth master combed the little tiger's hair for a while, and saw Zhan Zhao running back, holding a plate in his hand with a plate of fried dumplings. Zhan Zhao ran in with a pair of chopsticks, sat down opposite the fifth master, and picked up some

Put a fried dumpling into his mouth.

Wu Ye chewed it and thought it tasted good. It was stuffed with green beans and shrimps, and was sweet and delicious without being cloying.

Zhan Zhao smiled and said that the kitchen lady had made a lot of fried dumplings for a midnight snack...

The Fifth Master was quite puzzled, "Make a midnight snack?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Auntie heard that we broke into a haunted house, so she made a special plan and said that we should be hungry after hitting the ghosts at night."

The fifth master couldn't laugh or cry. Thinking about what they had gone through over the years, the kitchen lady was already used to it when she talked about encountering ghosts.
