"Brother Shi, you are famous. Now the whole of Chang'an is discussing the matter of helping the court solve the Ghost Case!" Early in the morning, Xue Shao broke into Zhang Zong's bedroom with excitement and shouted.

"Didn't I become famous for a long time?" Zhang Zong, who was awakened, turned over and looked inside and planned to continue sleeping. Last night, Xue Shao and Ning'er both pestered him to tell stories until midnight. He felt that he had a serious lack of sleep recently. It's less than ten hours, and he still has to grow up!

"This time is different!" Xue Shao stepped forward and turned Zhang Zong over and said excitedly again, "The ones who came out before were all nicknames, but now they are famous. Now there are many good people around the mansion, just to see you, the detective who has solved such a strange case!"

"These people are so boring. They should have made the newspaper early so that they can have enough time to read gossip!" Zhang Zong muttered dissatisfiedly, but sat up.

"Newspaper? What is a newspaper?" Xue Shao also heard the new term in Zhang Zong's mouth very keenly and asked curiously.

"Let's talk about this later. You slept so late last night, weren't you sleeping sleepy?" Zhang Zong yawned and stretched, asking.

"I'm not sleepy. I used to get up early every day to study. Now that my mother is not here, I feel much more relaxed, but I'm still not used to sleeping in in the morning." Xue Shao said naturally.

Zhang Zong was speechless after hearing this. It seemed that no matter which era, children who study were the most miserable. Fortunately, they had suffered such hardships in their previous life, so they could just enjoy their happiness in this life.

"Brother Shi, get up quickly. Let's go to the door to see. There are really many people around outside. According to the manager who went out to buy vegetables today, even the people in the vegetable market are talking about you. It can be said that you are really famous this time!" Xue Shao said excitedly again, and as he pulled Zhang Zong to get him up.

"What's the matter? When I made the Double Color Rose last time, wasn't there any more people talking about it?" Zhang Zong asked disapprovingly, but he still got out of bed. After all, he can't be lazy than Xue Shao. The most important thing is that he is hungry now.

"It's different. Last time, the Shuangse Rose was just regarded as a strange story. People only remember the name of the Shuangse Rose, but they rarely remember your name, Brother Shi." Xue Shao shook his head and explained.

"Where is saltpeter ice making, I remember the court issued a notice and announced the whole city, with my name on it." Zhang Zong asked unwillingly again.

"Making ice by saltpeter is indeed very useful, but the notice only says 'The craftsman Zhang Zongxuan', which is equivalent to mentioning it by the way. Moreover, the price of saltpeter is not cheap, and a few people can afford it, so few people pay attention to it. In addition, so soap is the same. Many people even think that soap is the solution my mother came up with." Xue Shao explained again.

"Then Linyi Dao..." Zhang Zong finally wanted to struggle for a while, but he shut up his mouth halfway through his words. Linyi Dao was still promoting it, and it would take at least three years to achieve results. Therefore, before that, the court did not promote it too much, and many people still don't know about Linyi Dao.

"Compared with those things before, the case of the Ghost Case is closely related to everyone in Chang'an City. Even yesterday they were worried that the Ghost Case would run to the house to eat their relatives. As a result, the case was solved in just one night. There were only a couple who killed people for their son, and the case was solved by people outside the yamen. Such a thing can be written into a legend!" Xue Shao finally showed an envious expression, why didn't he have the ability of Zhang Zong?

Zhang Zong was very calm after hearing this. It was just a legend. It was already a fantasy for him to travel through time. He believed that with his own knowledge, he would create more and more legends in the future, so it is not surprising that a mere case was just a case.

But at this moment, a maid suddenly ran over in panic and shouted breathlessly: "No...no, the princess... the princess is injured!"

"What!" Zhang Zong and Xue Shao were all shocked when they heard this, and then ran out. However, Zhang Zong ran out and ran back, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on before he started chasing Xue Shao.

However, what Zhang Zong and Xue Shao did not expect was that Xue Ning'er was not in the yard where she lived, but in the study of Xue Shao's father before. When the two came here, Xue Ning'er covered her hands and was crying loudly, and the maid next to her was applying medicine to her hands.

"What's wrong, why are you injured?" Xue Shao ran forward with a look of distress at this time and asked.

"The princess said she wanted to come to the master's study to get things and let us guard outside. However, she didn't expect that the princess actually took out the master's sword to play, and then accidentally scratched herself." The maid next to her also explained with a grievance.

"I... I want to practice martial arts and swords, but I didn't expect my father's sword to be too heavy!" Xue Ning'er sobbed and said in a low voice, her big eyes were full of tears, and she looked very pitiful.

Only then did Zhang Zong and Xue Shao see a sword thrown on the ground, which made both of them laugh and cry, especially Zhang Zong. Xue Ning'er was fascinated by martial arts novels before and kept clamoring to practice martial arts. He thought the other party was just talking casually, but he didn't expect to take action.

"You girl is really desperate. You dare to move the things left by your father. Let's see how my mother scolds you when she comes back!" Although Xue Shao cursed, he still took the medicine from the maid's hand and applied it to Xue Ning'er himself. In fact, the injury on her hand was not serious, but an inch-long wound was cut by a sharp sword, and it was not injured. It is estimated that it will heal in a few days.

Zhang Zong picked up the sword that fell on the ground and weighed it. He used to watch martial arts on TV. Those martial arts masters danced with swords very beautifully, making people feel that the sword seemed as light as a feather.

But when Zhang Zong really took it into his hand, he realized that the sword was actually not light. For example, the one in his hand weighed five or six pounds, which was a bit pressing on his hand and was quite heavy when he waved it. If the strength was strong enough and the sword was sharp enough, it would not be impossible to cut off the enemy's head with one sword.

Now Zhang Zong put the sword into the sheath and then hung it back to the original location on the wall. This is Xue Shao's father Xue Guan's study room. Although his father has passed away, it still remains the same as before. According to Xue Shao, Princess Chengyang would occasionally come to the study room for a while. From this, it can be seen that Princess Chengyang and Xue Guan's relationship is still quite deep.

"Huh?" But at this moment, Zhang Zong suddenly found a long bow on a shelf next to the sword. The Tang Dynasty Shangshu, bows and arrows are also very common among the people. Zhang Zong has also seen many bows and arrows, but the bow in front of him is very special. The bow is mainly because the bow body is extremely thick and the bow arms are long. Obviously, it is a super hard bow, and ordinary people can't even think of pulling this hard bow.

Xue Shao also prepared medicine for Xue Ning'er at this time, and the little girl finally stopped crying. When he saw Zhang Zong looking at the bow in the study, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Shi, who is the owner of this bow?"

"This is your father's study, of course it's your father's bow. Could it be someone else's bow?" Zhang Zong also showed a strange expression when he heard this. The study was a very private place, especially for aristocratic families like Xue. The study was even more important than the bedroom. Generally, without the owner's permission, even the hostess could not enter.

"Although my father has been a general, he can't pull such a five-stone bow." Xue Shao said with a smile and shook his head.

"Five stone bow!" Zhang Zong was also shocked when he heard this. Generally, one stone bow could be used as a qualified archer, while two stone bows could be called heavy archers, and three stone bows were already very rare. Legend has it that Li Shimin could be used as a three stone bow when he was young. As for the five stone bow, only a few people in the entire Tang army could pull it away.

"Is it him?" Zhang Zong suddenly thought of someone and then shouted excitedly, "Xue Rengui, the old general Xue, must be him. In the legend, he is the only one who can pull the Five Stone Bow!"

"Haha~, Brother Shi guessed it well. In the entire Tang army, only the old general Xue can use five-stone hard bows!" Xue Shao also laughed loudly at this time.

"No, why is General Xue's bow at your house?" Zhang Zong suddenly said with some confusion. If he remembered correctly, Xue Rengui should now be the general manager of Jilindao and be responsible for suppressing the remnants of Goguryeo.

"This matter is a long story. Both General Xue and our family are from the Xue family in Hedong. However, he is the Nanzu House and our family is the Xizu House. Although it is a bit far apart, in terms of seniority, General Xue is actually the same as me..."

When Zhang Zong heard this, he covered his face: "So you are still the clan brother of General Xue?"

"Yes, but the old general Xue is highly respected. I dare not ask him to call him "Brother". It's just that the old generals have been in bad luck in the past few years, and this bow starts with the Battle of Dafeichuan five years ago..."

With Xue Shao's account, Zhang Zong finally understood the origin of this bow. It turned out that Xue Rengui's defeat in Dafeichuan, which led to the original Tuyuhun falling into the hands of Tubo. However, strictly speaking, the main reason for this great defeat was not Xue Rengui, but the deputy general manager Guo Tiefeng.

It was precisely because Guo Zhifeng did not obey the order that he was defeated by Tubo, which led to the loss of all the food, grass and supplies of the Tang army. Tubo mobilized another 400,000 troops to besiege Xue Rengui's main army. In the absence of food, grass and supplies, Xue Rengui had to negotiate peace with Tubo, and the Tang army also withdrew from Tuyuhun.

After the defeat of Dafeichuan, many people in the court wanted to sue Xue Rengui. After all, he was the main general. At that time, some of Xue Rengui's political enemies were stirring up trouble, and they saw that Xue Rengui might not even be able to save his life.

Fortunately, Xue Shao's father Xue Guan at that time was due to the feelings of his fellow tribes and knew that Xue Rengui was really wronged, so he told Princess Chengyang to write a letter to plead for Xue Rengui. In the end, Xue Rengui was only dismissed from office and was soon re-activated.

"In order to thank my father, General Xue gave the bow he used to give to his father as a souvenir. However, he didn't expect that before his father had time to bring the bow back to Chang'an, he died in Fangzhou. The bow was brought back by his mother." Xue Shao said with a sad look at the end.

After listening to it, Zhang Zong was also a little moved. Xue Rengui was a heroic life, but he experienced the defeat of Dafeichuan in his later years. I remember that when Zhang Zong read the records about Xue Rengui in later generations, the four words "Heroes are old" even arose in his heart, which is really regrettable.
