In the courtyard of Hongying Village.

Eight fat girls were carrying some servants and were sorting out the carriage.

Everyone brought a lot of gifts. They were busy investigating the case these days, and the car had been parked in the village and never moved. This time, when they went to the Demon Palace, everyone had to bring a lot of things, especially the Second Master of Xiankong Island, the Third Master and the others brought a lot of specialties to send to the Demon Palace, so the gifts were reorganized.

In the evening, Xiao Sizi passed by the yard and was caught by Xier, "Little Sizi, what should I do with that car of books?"

The little Sizi blinked and asked, "What book is it?"

"What a huge pile of dragon pattern books I wrote." Xier replied.

"Ah, that's a file." Xiao Sizi said.

"I see that there is still room in the car. Can I put some cloth in it?" Xier asked.

"Um..." Xiao Sizi followed Xier to the side of the carriage, and saw dozens of cars filled with them, so the carriage with the dragon pattern roll still had a free space.

"Then put a blanket?" Although Xiao Sizi was young, his father was the chief clerk of Kaifeng Mansion after all, and he knew that these case files were very important.

So the enthusiastic little four son climbed into the carriage to see if he could move a little more. He reached out and half opened a stack of books... and then was stunned.

Zhan Zhao and others had packed their luggage and were walking out to set off. Suddenly, they heard the little fourth son shouting, "Ahhh!"

I saw Xiao Sizi flying out of the curtain of the carriage, and was picked up by Xiao Liangzi, who also rushed over.

Xiao Liang sat on the ground holding Xiao Sizi's butt, holding Xiao Sizi's round face and looked at him. He saw Xiao Sizi's eyes wide open, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Jin'er?"

The little Sizi bulged his cheeks and pointed to the carriage for a long time, "The little mouse family..."

Everyone was stunned.

Bao Yan hurriedly lifted the curtain, and then he burst into screams, "Ahhhh!"

I saw a hole behind a pile of books that was moved away by Xiao Sizi... In the hole, there was a nest of little mice living.

Everyone rescued the file.

Pang Yu first picked up all the little rats, and originally wanted to kill them... but he looked like he was born for a few days and couldn't do it.

Several little rats were trembling, and everyone understood why the big rats were in the carriage. Because there were many cats in Hongying Village, the rats were almost extinct. Only the carriage was surrounded by military soldiers, and people came and went frequently, so the cats didn't come.

While everyone was moving books, Pang Yu grabbed the big mouse who was shocked by Xiao Sizi and hid, and took it over, "You said you are a mother-in-law, you can do it. You don't care about your children when you see someone running away first."

The big mouse squeaked, Bai Fu found a cage, put all the big and small rats in, took them to the forest far away from Hongying Village, stuffed them into a small tree hole, and grabbed peanuts for them.

The mouse family did not mention it, and said that everyone was busy "save" the dragon pattern.

Hongying Village is very wet, and the books are only stored for a few days. A few of them are moldy. There are three volumes of them bitten by rats. They are all cases near the Demon Palace. One of them is the worst, and half of them are bitten off.

The other two books are not serious, they are all sorted out by Gongsun and Bao Yan. They can remember them after reading them, so they all made up for them, and the losses are not big. But the most troublesome thing is that the one that is less than half was prepared by Pang Yu. You can remember Anle Houpai Jiuma Dian, but you can't remember this thing, and you can't even make up for it even if you scratch your ears and foreheads.

Hou Yin glanced at him, "What are the cases in Le County, Lin County and Yaojia Village?"

Pang Yu nodded with a sad face.

"Everyone is near the Demon Palace. After arriving at the Demon Palace, find someone to ask and get the case together." Lord Bao did not blame Pang Yu for not remembering it, or Gongsun and Bao Yan did not look at the file, everyone's previous cases were already busy, and they had only been stored for a few days, and no one would have thought that they would attract mice.

Everyone packed the files again, got on the carriage, and embarked on the way to the Demon Palace.

...

"When will your elder brother and sister-in-law come?"

Zhan Zhao rode on the horse, because Zao Duoduo would stick with Baiyunfan for no reason, so Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were always walking side by side, so Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

"Well, the fourth brother took a boat back to pick them up. If it's fast, it's about three or four days. Anyway, you should be able to arrive before the New Year." Bai Yutang answered Zhan Zhao's words and asked, "Maoer, the nearby woods are a bit strange."

Zhan Zhao looked at him, "What did you find?" asked, looking around.

"Oh, it seems that there is a cedar tree less than fifty feet away, and it has different appearances from the surrounding pine trees..." Bai Yutang said.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Yeah! You have eyesight!"

As he said that, Zhan Zhao leaned over and bite his ears with Bai Yutang.

It turns out that these different varieties of trees are signposts to reach the Demon Palace. According to the mantra, you can successfully reach the Demon Palace by following different tree species. Not to mention, this road is actually quite complicated. Fortunately, Bai Yutang is smart and you will understand it as soon as you hear it.

Later, the monk Wusha teased Yin Hou, "Your kitten teaches mice how to go to the cat's nest."

Mr. Yin was helpless, but after the previous trip to the Demon Palace, Bai Yutang had long been recognized by the entire Demon Palace, and he was indeed not an "outsider".

In the carriage, Lord Bao and others sat together, looking through the dragon pattern scroll.

This time, he went to the Demon Palace for a vacation. After receiving a letter from Bao Zheng, Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with the handling of this case and asked Bao Zheng and others to have a good rest during the New Year. However, Zhao Zhen specially explained that he asked them to return to Kaifeng as soon as possible after the New Year. It seemed that something was wrong.

However, resting does not mean being idle. Everyone in Kaifeng Prefecture receives salary, so of course they have to do things. So everyone sorted out all the unsolved cases near the Demon Palace and prepared to solve them during their vacation.

As everyone walked along the way, the sky gradually darkened.

"There is Tianxing Village not far ahead."

When he arrived on a hillside, Ouyang, who was leading the way in front, pointed to a small village down the hillside and said, "Would we go all night or take a break before leaving tomorrow morning?"

"Tianxing Village?"

At this time, Bao Yan heard a sound in the carriage and asked.

Everyone looked at him.

Zhan Zhao is considered a local snake nearby, and introduced that, "The village in Tianxing Village is arranged according to the direction of the Big Dipper. It is an ancient village. The village is large in size and has delicious food, so you can stay for one night."

Hou Yin nodded, "It's still a long way from the Demon Palace, and it's not convenient to walk the mountain road at night with a carriage."

Everyone nodded and decided to stay in Tianxing Village for one night.

"Let's go find an inn."

The shadow guards wanted to find a place to stay first, but they were stopped by Hong Jiuniang. "Why are you staying at the door of your house? Go to An Mansion."

Everyone was stunned.

Bai Yutang remembered that Zhan Zhao's fellow Demon Palace boss An Yunmoan was a big businessman with industries all over the world. It is naturally not uncommon to have a mansion near this Demon Palace.

"The girl Xiao Anzi has houses in all the prefectures and prefectures around the Demon Palace. Let's live there." Hong Jiuniang said, and led the way for everyone.

Zhan Zhao arrived next to the carriage and asked Bao Yan in the carriage, "Is there any problem with Tianxing Village?"

Bao Yan pointed to the bitten file in Pang Yu's hand and said, "Tianxing Village is under the jurisdiction of Le County, and the first case on this file happened in Tianxing Village."

"It was a murder case, which happened three years ago." Gongsun said, "A farmer in Tianxing Village was named Wang Da. He was suspected of killing an old man from his neighbor's house. The reason for the murder was robbery and no evidence was evidence. However, the dog of the neighbor's house barked at Wang Da. The county magistrate felt strange and went to Wang everyone to search and found a golden hairpin. According to the old man's family, it was said that the golden hairpin was owned by the old man. Wang Daze said that the golden hairpin was picked up by him and refused to plead guilty... The county magistrate determined that Wang Da was the murderer and threw him into prison. On the day he was imprisoned, another old woman was killed, which was also robbed and killed, and the method was the same as Wang Da's previous neighbor. So Wang Da's family was dissatisfied, and the county magistrate released Wang Da... However, the two murder cases have not been solved."

"oh……"

At this time, Huang Yuelin came up and said, "I remember this case!"

Everyone looked at her.

Behind Huang Yuelin, Blue Fox and Zhuge Lu Yi also came over, "Oh! That case was quite sensational."

Zhan Zhao didn’t live in the Demon Palace for those years, so it’s unknown, but, “It looks like a very ordinary case, why is it a sensation?”

Pang Yu pointed to the part of the case file that was bitten off by the little mouse and said, "When the county magistrate reported the case, he indicated that there were doubts, but he could not see it."

"Is there anything suspicious?" Everyone asked three aunts who seemed to know the whole story.

"It's because of that golden hairpin!" Huang Yuelin said, "Do you know how much that golden hairpin is worth?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Pu wondered, "Is the golden hairpin in a peasant woman's home a rare treasure?"

Huang Yuelin nodded, "The old man who was a rich man went to see the golden hairpin that was a dirty thing. When he came back, he said that it was not an ordinary hairpin, it was the phoenix hairpin worn by Yang Guifei back then!"

Zhan Zhao helped explain, "The old man who is a wealthy lover is Cai Jinbao, who is known as the old wealthy lover."

Tianzun nodded, "The old money-lovers are experts in treasure appraisal. He said it is true, it is basically true."

Everyone was surprised.

"Why did peasant women have such golden hairpins?" Gongsun was curious, "Is it a legendary origin? Or is it very rich?"

Zhuge Luyi shook his head, "The peasant woman is an old man who was washing clothes for others. The family was barely walled. At first, the villager felt incredible when he heard someone robbed her. The old man's only relative was her son, a poor man. Although he had no money, he was very filial. He said that his mother had always treasured this golden hairpin, and she often took it out late at night and looked at it in a daze. No matter how poor her family was, she would not be willing to sell it."

Everyone looked at each other.

"So..." Zhan Zhao frowned, "If someone really robbed the old woman, it means robbed the golden hairpin! How could he lose the only valuable golden hairpin and let Wang Da pick it up?"

The blue fox nodded, "Yes!"

"Why is Wang Da, what is his character?" asked Mr. Bao.

"The honest farmer came, and his brothers inherited a lot of ancestral property. In fact, life is very good." Zhuge Luyi said, "I heard that Wang Da really likes to take advantage of some small gains, but he is very brave and dare not kill chickens, so let alone killing people."

"Where is that big dog?"

At this time, Lin Yehuo came over and asked, "Did the big dog stare at the king and scream?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yehuo, who was holding the "Mutual". The mute had grown into a big dog, with strong hair and majestic. Because he had half of the bloodline of a wolf, he almost never called him, which really fits the name "Mutual". The mute was very obedient, was close to everyone, and got along very well with Xiaowu... The only trouble was that every time he called "Mutual", he would call two...

As a qualified dog fool, Lin Yehuo is naturally very confused about dog problems.

Zhuge Luyi said, "This is also one of the strange places! This big dog is said to have been picked up by the old woman, and she is very loyal and obedient."

"Then you don't need to ask!" Lin Yehuo raised his eyebrows, "The big dog is the most loyal! He shouted at Wang Da and said that Wang Da was the murderer!"
To be continued...
