Chapter 10: The Imperial Cat's Analysis, Parting Ways

  Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at Bai Yutang with a frown, saying, "Are Xiang Pu and Xiang Tong two brothers? One left hand, one right hand?"

  Bai Yutang's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly!

  Zhan Zhaohui thought for a moment and remembered that in the TV series of his previous life, there was an episode called "Twin Brothers", where two twin brothers were left-handed and right-handed respectively. He never expected that in this world, there would really be two brothers, one using their left hand and the other using their right hand!

  "These two are assassins!?" Zhang Zhao continued to ask!

  Bai Yutang nodded and said, "Not bad, these two are killers. They act ruthlessly and decisively. Those who have been targeted by them all end up dead. In the Jianghu, they are known as the Butchers!"

  "The two men's weapons are what they think, and they spent a lot of money to create them!" Lu Fang interrupted, "The shape of the weapon that Zhang brothers drew earlier is exactly the same as the one in their hands!"

  "Ah-ha!" Zhan Zhao's eyes sparkled as he turned to Bai Yutang and said, "So it seems that this theft of the precious sword must be related to these two people! May I ask Brother Bai to tell us more about their situation?"

  Bai Yutang nodded heavily, "These two are ranked seventh on the Jianghu killer list. Since they debuted, no matter who their opponent is, they always attack together. Their combined force has been deeply ingrained in their bones. If they were to separate, I'm afraid neither of them would be able to exert even a fraction of their power!"

  "Because the two of them joined forces, they can already challenge the number one on the killer list, Yī Jiàn Gǒu Hún Róng. However, because the two have always been together, their ranking on the killer list is only seventh!" Bai Yu Tang explained!

  "Right, Cat, there's one more thing. These two must have been instructed by someone!" Bai Yutang said with a serious expression, "Two people won't get up early without any benefit. If no one paid them to do something, they would never bother with other people's business. However, these two have always only accepted assassination jobs. How could they set their sights on the Shangfang Treasure Sword?"

  Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, "Not bad, this matter is indeed too suspicious!"

  "Brother Lu!" Zhan Zhao suddenly made a fist and said, "Please ask Brother Lu to take four people to Bianjing Kaifeng to inform Lord Bao, and also stay there to protect Lord Bao! As for Brother Bai, may I ask Brother Bai to accompany me to find those two brothers of the Butcher's Blood?"

  Lu Fang was taken aback for a moment, smiled and said, "Alright, the four of us will go to Kaifeng Prefecture to welcome back Fifth Brother and Zhan Brothers!"

  "Kitty, don't worry, since the Shangfang treasure sword was lost from Master Wu's hands, Master Wu will definitely help you get it back!" Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes opened, and a cold light flashed by. "Dare to come to my Trap Empty Island looking for trouble? Master Wu will make those two little thieves know that this world is not where anyone can be bullied!"

  Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, nodded, turned his head to Lu Fang and cupped one hand in the other in salute, saying: "This matter is full of suspicious circumstances, let's assume it's like this for now!"

  "Firstly, who would have known that Bai brother stole the Shangfang treasure sword from Kaifeng Prefecture?! Zhao's expression was solemn and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He continued to say, "As for those who knew about this matter in Kaifeng Prefecture, it was only me, Bao Daren, Gong Sun Xian Sheng and the four great marshals. We absolutely wouldn't spread the word outside, and since the Trap Island Five Mouse Gallants are famous, they naturally wouldn't intentionally publicize it!"

  "So how did Xiang Pu and Xiang Tong know that the Shangfang Treasure Sword was on Trap Island?" Zhan Zhao furrowed his brow and said, "This is the first point of doubt!"

  "What's the point of stealing the Shangfang Sword? Are you going to engage in a duel with me like Bai Ge? " Zhan Zhao explained in detail, and Lu Fang listened carefully. "This doesn't make sense. If it's about dueling, I've already arrived on this island. You can just wait for me to leave and then appear on the road to duel with me! Why steal the Shangfang Sword? This is the second suspicious point!"

  "Taking into account the two doubts above, I can only assume one thing!" Xian Zhao's mind became somewhat clearer, "This matter is aimed at Lord Bao, and the mastermind behind the theft of the precious sword by the Xiang brothers should be a court enemy! If Lord Bao loses the Shangfang Sword, he will only be guilty of deceiving the emperor! The crime deserves to be punished with the destruction of nine clans!"

  As soon as this was said, the five mice of Trap Island all changed color. Bai Yutang's expression turned pale and his eyes seemed to flash with a hint of regret!

  "Then, Brother Zhang, you want us to rush to Kaifeng Prefecture in order to protect Bao Da?"

  Zhan Zhao shook his head, and at this moment, the forensic science and psychology he had learned in his previous life were all called up. He opened his mouth and said, "It's not just that! Because this is just Zhan Mou's guess, so it can't be confirmed either. However, if Zhan Mou's guess is true, then someone will definitely impeach Bao Gong for contempt of imperial grace, dereliction of duty, and theft of the Shangfang treasure sword."

  "If Zhan's guess is true, then we can know who the Shangfang treasure sword has fallen into. At that time, if Zhan and Bai brother have not returned, we can also ask the four brothers to help take back the Shangfang treasure sword!" Zhan Zhao said.

  His face was solemn, and he suddenly bowed his head in salute, scaring Lu Fang and the others to retreat, several mouths shouting, "Zhan brother, what are you doing?"

  Zhan Zhao stood up and said, "I beg of you, brothers, that Lord Bao is the most admirable official in the world, who handles everything according to reason and law. If we let him die because of this matter, how many people will suffer injustice? In the future, who will stand up for the people?"

  "So, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you brothers!" Zhan Zhao clasped his fists together, his expression solemn!

  Lu Fang and others did not speak, they just patted Xian Zhao's shoulder heavily, a faint smile appeared at the corner of their mouth, and there seemed to be some crystal in their eyes. "Don't worry!"

  Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, as if a spring breeze had passed by, bringing warmth!

  Mr. Bao, this is the best arrangement that Xuan can make for you. If I'm not mistaken, this matter must have some connection with certain officials. Mr. Bao, you will absolutely be fine!

  This world filled with reason and justice, I haven't helped you build it yet!

  "Meow!" Bai Yutang suddenly took a step forward, with a hint of shame in his eyes, and said, "I lost!"

  Everyone showed a look of surprise, and Bai Yutang clasped his hands and said, "Nan Xiaozhao, indeed the name is not in vain. He has a broad mind and a generous heart. I, Bai, did not lose to him in terms of martial arts, but rather in terms of character and magnanimity!"

  "Just with your idea of being a people's servant, Bai Yutang is ashamed to be inferior!" Bai Yutang's expression was no longer so frivolous and arrogant, but in an instant, he added a hint of elegance and revealed a hint of determination, as if the whole person had transformed from soul to body!

  Lu Fang and others looked at each other, all with a smile on their faces. From then on, the fifth brother was definitely a man, an unyielding and upright man!

  Zhan Zhao smiled slightly and nodded, saying "You're too polite, Brother Bai!"

  "A few brothers, for now, I'll take my leave. Brother Bai and I will go find out what happened to the Xiangshi brothers! Along the way, I can also learn from Brother Bai about how to use internal energy!" Zhang Zhao said with a bow.

  Lu Fang hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but Jiang Ping burst out laughing, gently shaking his goose feather fan and saying, "Big brother, you must be concerned about Xian brothers, with fifth brother accompanying him, Xian brothers will definitely be safe!"

  Lu Fang nodded and said to Bai Yutang, "Fifth brother, the safety of Zhang brothers is in your hands! This is a big matter, and it's not child's play!"

  Bai Yutang nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, big brother. I'll take responsibility for Cat's safety. And when we return to Kaifeng Prefecture, Fifth Brother will surely show several of his brothers a glimpse of the former elegance of the Southern Hero!"

  "Alright, no time to lose! Let's split up and act quickly!" Lu Fang and the others nodded, then Bai Yutang directly grabbed Zhan Zhao, his body swaying, and like a celestial being flying from afar, he dashed towards the dock!

  "We set off immediately and rush to Kaifeng Prefecture!" Lu Fang waved his hand, gave the order, and in an instant, Trap Island was in chaos, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, and dust filling the sky!
