As soon as Zhan Zhao heard about the case, he ran to Master Bao's study.

In the study, there was also a middle-aged uncle sitting. Zhan Zhao knew him - he was Lao Xu, the coachman who drove Lord Bao's carriage.

"Uncle Xu?" Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them curiously - is Mr. Bao going out? Or is it Lao Xu who reported the crime?

Master Bao waved to Zhan Zhao to sit down and chat.

Zhan Zhao sat at the table with Master Bao and Lao Xu. The master took an orange and peeled it for him, while saying, "Something happened in Lao Xu's family."

Lao Xu was also quite embarrassed. He said that his son was getting married recently. He had a house that he had been renting out. Recently, he would not renew the lease when the lease expired. He was planning to take it back and tidy it up again, and build a new house for his son and daughter-in-law.

live.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Is there something wrong with taking over the house? The tenant refuses to give up the lease?"

Zhan Zhao thought it might be that he was anxious to take it back because the tenant couldn't find a house, so he said it would be easy to handle. He would help find a suitable place and discuss it with the tenant.

Lao Xu waved his hand, "No, it was taken back very smoothly. The tenant paid off all the rent, cleaned up the house for me, and moved out the day before yesterday."

Zhan Zhao didn't understand something - so what's the problem?

"Isn't this the house I took back and I found someone to build a house? There is a well in the yard of the old house, which is a Bagua-shaped wellhead. The master who repaired the house said that if an ordinary couple lived in it, the wellhead would not have good feng shui.

Otherwise, I think it is okay, and the well is old and old, and there are no guardrails to look at the weirdness, so let them change it. "

A laborer was not paying attention and fell into the well."

Zhan Zhao was shocked, "Did someone lose his life?"

Lao Xu continued to shake his head, "The boy fished it out, but he panicked under the water and grabbed something."

While talking, Lao Xu brought up a box on the ground, opened it and showed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao looked into the box and saw a white skull.

Zhan Zhao stared at the skull for a while, and suddenly felt lucky that nothing happened to the well repair...

Shaking his head, Zhan Zhao picked up the skull and looked at it, frowning, "Has anyone died in this well?"

"I don't know. I have rented this land for several years, but the tenants are very honest. The couple opened a breakfast shop selling steamed buns..."

Before Lao Xu finished speaking, Zhan Zhao's face was almost wrinkled into a bun shape - real or fake? Which bun shop? Could it be something... human flesh buns... it's terrible, all the bun shops in Kaifeng city are like cats.

Have eaten them all!

Zhan Zhao felt disgusted but was thankful again - fortunately Xiao Baitang didn't come with him, otherwise he would never eat steamed buns again.

Lao Xu waved his hands repeatedly, "No! His family sells bean paste buns! It's very famous, the one on Nantian Street, not far from Fengfu, is the 'Yuanyuan Bean Paste Bun'."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao immediately knew which store it was, "That bean paste bun is indeed delicious. Xiao Sizi and I are regular customers! The bean paste filling in their steamed buns is particularly fine, sweet but not greasy. Is there any grinding inside?

The crushed red beans and walnut kernels are very chewy. Their steamed bun noodles are also delicious. They are not particularly thin but very noisy, not sticky to the teeth, and have a milky flavor. There is a gap between the steamed bun skin and the filling.

A very thin layer of black sesame sauce…”

Lao Xu looked helplessly at Zhan Zhao - this child...

Master Bao handed him the peeled orange.

Zhan Zhao took the orange and realized that he had gone too far, so he quickly stopped talking about food and ate the orange. Zhan Zhao held the box and said, "I'll go take a look in a moment."

Uncle Xu nodded, but did not forget to ask, "What, why don't we publicize this before we find out? It would be bad if it affects the business of the bun shop. Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles these days. People are honest and responsible couples.

It’s not easy to get a good reputation for your business.”

Zhan Zhao nodded to express his understanding. Yuanyuan's bun shop was always open. If he wanted to kill someone, he would have canceled the rent and ran away! Since the person didn't run away, maybe it had nothing to do with them.

"Has this house been rented outside?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Uncle Xu nodded, "I bought that house when I was young. I did something for the Eighth Prince twenty years ago. It was done very well. The prince rewarded me with a lot of silver. So I bought some with the silver.

Property. At that time, I bought a piece of vacant land with only a well. I simply built two houses and rented it out. It has been rented by five or six tenants, and it continues to be rented until now."

Zhan Zhao was a little concerned after hearing this - there is a well on a piece of flat land? It sounds so familiar...

"Which family sold the land to you?"

"This is the land of the Cao family, the former Cao family of the Ministry of War."

Zhan Zhao said "tsk" - Lao Cao's family has been uprooted and now they are all in prison.

"However, this land of the Cao family is probably not an ancestral property. Someone probably borrowed money from a gambling debt. In the end, it was not repaid, so the land was taken away to pay off the debt. The Cao family changed hands and sold it directly." Lao Xu also told Zhan Zhao.

Ask around, "Would it be bad if there was a murder on that land? Isn't it unlucky to live in a new house there?"

Zhan Zhao comforted Lao Xu and said it was okay. After solving the case, he asked the Demon King and Xiaosi to take a look. If the feng shui can be improved, we will change it into a feng shui treasure land. If not, we will move!

Lao Xu nodded and nodded.

Mr. Bao also patted Lao Xu on the shoulder - "Don't worry about guard Zhan's work!"

Zhan Zhao took the case and felt that it was subtle - maybe it had something to do with the things they were investigating recently. It was a dry well and a human head, but there seemed to be no actual evidence... Did he think too much?

Zhan Zhao took the box and returned to the Miaomiao Building. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the yard full of flowers.

In the yard, the Demon King was lecturing Tianzun and Lu Tianhan. It was too shameful to say that they were too shameless. The New Year was about to come, so why did you buy so many flowers to put in your home? Look at the big pot of white chrysanthemums in the middle of the yard.

How unlucky is that? Don’t you two know how bad Fatty’s domestic cat kittens are? What if...

Before the Demon King finished speaking, he saw Tianzun and Lu Tianhan looking closely at the door. When he turned around, he saw Zhan Zhao standing at the door holding a box and pouting, looking at him.

The Demon King quickly smiled and asked him, "Have you eaten?"

Zhan Zhao wandered into the yard holding the box and looked at the Demon King - Old Master, you actually said that I was a bad guy behind your back, but you said in front of your face that he was from Mingdeng!

Tianzun and Lu Tianhan also looked at the Demon King.

The Demon King reached out and touched Zhan Zhao's head.

Zhan Zhao looked around and saw that Bai Yutang was admiring flowers with Tianzun and the others just now. Where was the person? Grandpa was not there either...

"Where are grandpa and Yutang?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"After finishing Jiangjiang's scented tea, Xiao Baitang went out with him to buy some food. He also bought you something to eat. He said he was worried that you would be involved in a case soon and wouldn't be able to go out to eat at night."

The Demon King praised Bai Yutang as he spoke, "Xiao Baitang is so good!"

Tianzun raised his eyebrows - that's right, he didn't even look at his disciple.

Lu Tianhan rolled his eyes at him - he was indeed trained by you!

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and Zhao Pugongsun came back with five children from practicing ball.

At the training ground in the afternoon, Liangchenmei played a practice match with several teams of the same age as Kaifeng, and they all won. A group of people had a great time, and when they ran in, they all shouted that they were hungry, thirsty, and so tired!

Gongsun grabbed each one and asked them to get water to wash their faces, wash their hands, change their clothes and then eat!

The fourth child washed his hands, wiped his face and ran past Zhan Zhao, stopped, took two steps back, tilted his head and stared at the box in Zhan Zhao's hand, "Maomao, what are you holding?"

Tianzun and the others also noticed the box. Zhan Zhao had been holding it just now. In terms of size...

Gongsun went to the house and brought out a clean robe for the fourth son to change. He joked, "It's just right for a person's head."

Yao Changtian walked over with the White Dragon King holding his sleeves, and the White Dragon King stretched out his hand to pick up the lid...

In an instant, there was no sound in the yard.

The White Dragon King took the lid and closed the box again. He stretched out his hand and touched Zhan Zhao's head, his eyes full of love.

"No!" Zhan Zhao put the box on the table, "This is the case Master Bao gave me just now."

So Zhan Zhao told what happened at Lao Xu's house.

"A Bagua-shaped well?" When the Demon King heard this, his focus seemed to be a little skewed. "Ordinary houses have more hexagonal wells, which means Liuhe. Most of the Bagua-shaped wells have a purpose, such as praying for blessings and avoiding evil.

Disasters that lead to the Dragon King... are relatively rare."

"Alas..." Zhan Zhao sighed, "I still have to fish it out. If there is a head, I guess there is still a body in the well..."

Gongsun took the head out of the box, looked at it, and said, "It's the head of a woman, an adult woman."

"Can you tell how you died from your skull?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Gongsun shook his head, "The skull is intact. Maybe he went down into the well with his feet down, or maybe the well was very deep and he didn't hit his head when he fell."

"With your feet down..." Zhan Zhao scratched his head, "We still have to find someone to fish people out of the well..."

"Are you sure the bones came in from the well?" Gongsun seemed to have a different opinion.

Everyone looked at the old man.

Gongsun said, "It is rare to see wells in the shape of eight trigrams. There is a legend that children who grow up drinking water from such wells will be smart and promising."

Everyone was surprised - what is the principle?

"Actually, it's because if you build a good well, the water source will definitely be better. Most of the good wells lead to springs, so growing up drinking spring water will probably be smarter than growing up drinking river water... After all, cleaning toilets and washing rice and washing clothes at the end of the village are all there.

In a river..."

Everyone silently looked back - fortunately, Xiao Baitang hasn't come back yet.

The Silver Demon King shook his head at the side, "That's not necessarily true. My soy sauce team grew up drinking snow water from the Tianshan Mountains, and they are not very smart..."

Tianzun glanced at the Demon King.
