There are three children in Kaifeng

Chapter 3 Traps and Undercovers

On the second day in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, Ding San was snoring rhythmically in the corner. Next to him was an empty bowl of prison food. He hadn’t eaten for two days and had slept for two nights in the corner. The prison in Kaifeng Mansion is like heaven to her.No, just after dinner, I was busy playing cards with Duke Zhou.

"Bang bang" the prison door chain was unlocked, and a yamen servant, followed by a handsome man in a red official robe, opened the prison door and walked in. The yamen servant went to Ding San, and saw that she was sleeping like a dead dog and was still going from time to time. He pursed his lips, and muttered in his mouth: "Pork and green onions... Pork and dried vegetables..."

The yamen servants are so angry that they are not treating the majestic prison of Kaifeng Mansion as a place!The man in red behind him raised his eyebrows slightly.The yamen servant kicked Ding San with his toes, but she slapped him away with her hand, turned over and fell asleep again, the big yamen servant was very happy:

"Okay, you brat who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, get up!" Said Ding San and picked him up.

"Don't cut in line! Go to the back! Which bastard..." I was dreaming that I was queuing up to buy steamed buns, when suddenly someone took her aside, and when I was about to see which bastard it was, I realized it was a The big brother was shocked immediately, "Which hero is full of courage~" A chrysanthemum-like smile appeared on his face, and he silently praised his ever-changing acting skills in his heart.

"Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Zhan asked you to go and ask questions!"

"My lord is going to be promoted... Well, it's almost time for lunch, can we go over after eating..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't dawdle!" Ding San rolled his eyes in his heart, "Stop talking nonsense" is your mantra.At this moment, I just remembered that the yamen servant said that Master Zhan mentioned her, and behind the yamen servant, isn't that Zhan Zhao in the red official robe.The gavel was too nervous to shoot in the lobby, and I didn't dare to look carefully.Looking carefully now, it is indeed a heroic figure, a man of talent, delicate and elegant, with extraordinary appearance, he is truly a worthy dragon and phoenix among men.

He lowered his head and flattened his mouth, secretly raised his thumb.Zhan Zhao behind the yamen servant looked at Ding San and narrowed his eyes.

Ding San was pushed out of the prison by the yamen guards, followed Zhan Zhao to a room, she wondered in her heart, didn't she go to the lobby?What is this place?

"Master Bao asked you to go to the Flower Hall for interrogation, not for trial." Zhan Zhao beside him reminded him kindly,

"However, not long before Zhan met you, he heard someone on the street yelling to catch a thief. He seemed to be a bun shop guy..."

Ding San was about to enter the house, but when he heard this, he didn't see the threshold in a panic, and lay down in the middle of the hall with a "plop".

"Caomin kowtowed to Mr. Bao..."

This fall was not light, with zero flaws in the five-body throwing style, he secretly glanced at Zhan Zhao who walked up to Mr. Bao, saw Zhan Zhao's expressionless face, as if he had never said anything, and couldn't help but secretly groaned in his heart.It seems that he already knew that he stole the buns and fled to the alley, maybe he came here to catch her. Such a big official, why not patrol the streets for nothing.Wouldn't it be nice to wait obediently to handle major and important cases in Kaifeng Mansion... Insidious, this person is absolutely insidious.

"Uh... get up and talk back."

"Thank you, sir." He hummed and got up.

"According to what Wang Gui said, when he sent rice to the deceased's house, he found the deceased, and collided with you in a panic."

"So, the grassroots have been wronged~Your Majesty is worthy of being a generation of Qingtian, with a meticulous mind, a godlike solution to cases, a clear style in his sleeves, and a clean government..." Before the flattery was finished, Master Bao continued to ask,

"This government asks you, have you seen other people near that alley?"

"The one who hit me, and those aunts." Ding San counted with his hands on his phone. Without them, she would still be starving in the corner of the street.

"Hmm..." Master Bao pondered for a while.Mr. Gongsun next to him also had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing the situation, Ding San thought to himself: something is wrong here, Mr. Bao asked him if he had seen other people, what does this mean, and he bumped into that rice shop guy Wang Gui..."

"My lord... Cao Min asked me a lot, how did the widow die?"

"The case is secret, how can you talk too much?" Mr. Gongsun seemed to be slightly sullen on his pale face.

"It's okay, Mrs. Wang was hanged."

"Hanged? Hanged?" Ding San was surprised for a while, this has nothing to do with him, hanged himself?

Eh?No, what would a widow who was about to hang herself want?Didn't the widow commit suicide?Was it killed?Judging from the situation, he just died not long ago.Thinking of this, she was startled. Mr. Bao has been on trial for so many years. With rich experience, he should have thought of this long ago, and interrogated her in the form of "interrogation" in private?If no suspect is found, isn't he the most suspect? !

"Do you recognize the dead man?"

Ding San quickly shook his head like a rattle: "I don't know, I don't know, let alone the widow Wang, I don't know any of those people in the lobby."

"Bold and unreasonable, don't make excuses. If you don't know the widow of the king or the neighbors of the widow of the king, the alley is a dead end, and it is not connected to the street. What are you doing there?!" Master Bao's expression changed, and he spoke angrily. drank.

Ding San wished he could slap himself a few big mouths, it was not good to run anywhere, he ran into a dead end.Now I ask myself why I went there. Telling the truth is stealing, not telling the truth is a murder suspect. I just defied a court in the lobby and I will be charged with twenty sticks. If I want to steal something, I may be punished with dozens of sticks. Killing... directly served by the dog's head!

"My lord, the villain was wronged. The villain just passed by and never killed anyone!" Ding San quickly adjusted his posture and knelt in front of Mr. Bao, crying profusely!

"You still dare to quibble, that widow clearly hanged herself, why do you say that you never killed someone?" The one who quibbles is you, my lord, it was obvious that he killed him, and you pretended not to know that you were a poor beggar.

"My lord, the rice shop guy went to deliver rice. The widow went to the rice shop to order rice before she died. Why does a person who is about to hang himself want rice? He won't eat it after he dies. You asked if you saw it nearby. Who, then asked me why a beggar is going to the neighborhood, why else can I go door to door begging for food." Ding San wiped the tears of grievance from the corners of his eyes, thinking, let's make a head start and put all your thoughts away. Shake it out, so you don't have to bother to deceive me, beggar, just beggar, pure natural disguise~

"What a clever boy!" Mr. Gongsun said approvingly.

Can you be smart, just a few days after arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, the dog's head was chopped off. It is said that the unrestrained death is not reincarnated, and it is more wronged than falling into the well in the previous life.

"My lord, dare you, how did the widow Wang die?" She became a "criminal suspect" and still doesn't know how the person she killed died. I'm very curious.

"Bold, how can you ask for the details of the case?" Zhan Zhao shouted angrily.He said he was angry, but he didn't look angry at all, as if it was just for a formality.There was a faint gleam in her eyes that made her feel terrified, and there was always an ominous premonition...

"It doesn't matter, this little brother is thin and thin. The widow was strangled and then hung on the beams. Besides, the widow was pregnant and weighed a lot more than ordinary people. It should not be possible for the little brother. "Mr. Gongsun on the side explained.

She looked at Mr. Gongsun gratefully:

"Mister is wise, sir is really the embodiment of hero and chivalry, with equal emphasis on wisdom and beauty~"

"Ahem..." Mr. Gongsun's complexion turned red, and he coughed a few times unnaturally.Are you still shy~ I just wanted to take a few more sentences to see how Mr. Gongsun would react, when I suddenly remembered something,

"My lord, I heard Mr. Gongsun say that there is one thing that is very strange. When the rice shop guy caught us, he shouted 'Killed'. The first reaction of ordinary people when they see a hanged person is to commit suicide. Could it be that he knew it early on? Was the widow killed? Besides, Mr. Gongsun said that the woman was not light, and she was strangled to death and hung on the beams. She couldn’t do it if she was strong. , presumably the strength should be great, right?"

"That's right, the government really suspects the guy from the rice shop. According to him, he ran out when he saw Mrs. Wang hanged himself at the door. He bumped into you and never entered the house. However, the bag of rice had indeed been placed in the kitchen. Based on this alone, the clerk at the rice shop lied. If this person has nothing to do with this case, why would he lie? The reason why the government told you the truth is that I hope you will recall the situation when you collided with that Wang Gui. Suspicious."

"What's suspicious? If that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that those two buns are a pity..." She tilted her head and seriously recalled the situation when the two buns fell to the ground. It was dark, and then desperately broke free from the pain of losing Baozi, and pressed his temples with both hands to think carefully.

Seeing this, Mr. Bao also felt that he was a bit difficult, so he raised his hand: "Let's go..."

"By the way, there seems to be a wound on his hand. It seems that the skin has been scratched. It looks like a new wound. It seems that his body is still wet." She touched her chin with one hand and tried hard to recall.Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun looked at each other, Mr. Gongsun nodded, then turned to Zhan Zhao and said,

"Then it should be true. The dead man's nails were bloodshot, and there was indeed a puddle of water and an overturned teapot at the scene. But this is just a guess, and there is no evidence that can be presented in court." Gongsun said. Mr. made trouble.

"Guard Zhan, what do you think about this matter?" Master Bao asked Zhan Zhao who was at the side.

"Pfft..." Someone on the ground was delighted when he heard it. Yuanfang body was also popular in the Northern Song Dynasty~ Suddenly there was a chill on the back of the spine, and he vaguely felt the six sharp rays approaching Tianling Gai, so he quickly suppressed his laughter. , quietly waiting for the next sentence.

"My lord, this matter..." Here it comes~ Ding San cheered inexplicably

"For this matter, you might as well try the trick of 'soldiers never tire of cheating'." Hey, isn't it "strange"?Disappointed, she looked up at Zhan Zhao, but unexpectedly, Xiang Zhan Zhao was squinting at her, his dark eyes were bottomless, a chill surrounded her whole body, she shivered, and hurriedly lowered her head.Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued to say to Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun:

"According to my subordinate's opinion, the people connected with this case can use the current evidence to defraud him. Under the panic, they will definitely reveal their flaws for clues to be sought."

"Sure enough, it's a good plan. I didn't expect Zhan Huwei not only to have superb martial arts skills, but also to have such a meticulous mind. He deserves to be called the 'Southern Xia' with both wisdom and courage!" Mr. Gongsun expressed admiration.

"Mr. Mumbai."

Seeing the two of them being hypocritical, Ding San got angry and said: what a trick!I said how to tell a little beggar so many details of the case, it turned out to be a trick.To put it nicely, the person who is still related to this case is not himself.A vicious murderer, he won't kill if he's in a hurry!If you don't participate, you will be a suspect and you will suffer. If you participate, you may be silenced. The business of Kaifeng Mansion is really shrewd!We are provoking someone, are we really going to stage a "murderous case caused by two steamed buns" nakedly in the Great Song Dynasty?We were just hungry!Master Zhan, does this body before I come here owe you a lot of money?

Thinking of the sadness, he looked at Zhan Zhao with tears streaming down his face, and Zhan Zhao also looked at himself with a gentle and harmless face, his eyes full of expectation and encouragement.Seeing Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun next to her looking at her with the same eyes, she said to the three "firmly" with tears in her eyes:

"Caomin is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the adults, and do their best to die..."

"I didn't expect you to have such courage at such a young age, which makes me very pleased!" Master Bao praised, without looking at Ding San's mournful face.

The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return...

A dark alley.A gust of wind blew by, and Ding San and Wang Gui, an employee of the rice shop, confronted each other face to face.

"Since you know everything, what do you want to come to me now?" Wang Guiyin looked at Ding San opposite him with a dark face.

"Hey, people die for money, and birds die for food. As you can see, my money is a little tight recently. It's not much. I promise not to say anything about the hush money of 500 taels of silver, just as if I have never seen it before." Same~" While shaking her feet, she blackmailed the purple-faced Wang Gui with a playful smile, trying to figure out and interpret the role of a rascal with all her heart.

"Hehe, 500 taels, okay, I can give it to you." Wang Gui suddenly smiled sinisterly, and walked towards Ding San step by step, his face turning purple again.

Can give?Wouldn't that be a waste of effort, and if it doesn't work, we need to add more oil,

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry for money recently, and I'm really pressed by the creditors, so it's not so strict if I can't keep it~" Ding San kept his mouth shut while trembling back as Wang Gui's footsteps approached.

"No problem, I'll give it to you right away~" Wang Gui put his hands behind his back and looked at her mockingly.Seeing that Wang Gui is so happy, I am also a little confused. Is the 500 taels less?

"but......"

"Ok?"

"I'm going to burn it to you!" As he said, he stepped forward and suddenly drew a dagger from his back. Ding San hurriedly backed away, a brick wall blocked her way of retreat, and he cried out in his heart: Oh no!His back was close to the wall, and Wang Gui was about to pounce on him, but there was no movement around him. He looked around, anxious: Where is the promised rescue team?You won't run away collectively!Seeing that the dagger was about to greet her, she knelt down with a "plop":

"My good man, please forgive me. You have a lot of elders and adults. Let the little ones go. The little ones lied to you. The little ones didn't see anything, really!"

Wang Gui was taken aback for a moment, he never expected that the little hooligan who was arrogant and blackmailing him just now became like this in an instant, but he quickly realized:

"It's too late, you know too much!"

What a classic plot, what a familiar line, she never thought that she would use it on herself one day, isn't it because she knows too much!Just as she was about to sneak under Wang Gui's hand, she was grabbed by Wang Gui, and she was about to go in and out with a red knife. Ding San closed his eyes in despair, and exhausted all his strength to look up to the sky in grief and anger. drink:

"Zhan Zhao your uncle!"

"Dang" a long sword held Wang Gui's dagger, a figure in red came, and a pleasant voice rang in his ears:

"He is in good health, there is no need to worry~"

Ding Sanyi's buttocks fell to the ground, and there was a handsome face in front of her eyes, squinting at her, smiling warmly like a spring breeze, and the light in her eyes that was many times sharper than a dagger made her dizzy. .....

Wang Gui, stab me to death!

After that, things went smoothly.Wang Gui's murder was caught right away, and in the court, Mr. Bao used all kinds of laws of the Song Dynasty to scare him, so he accused him of having an affair with the widow, causing the widow to become pregnant, fearing that the matter would be revealed, and murdering him. Yes, Mr. Bao decisively sentenced Qiu Hou Wen to beheaded. The murderer was caught, and Ding San was naturally acquitted in court.Thinking of Mr. Zhan's "spring-like smile", she trembled all over. When she left Kaifeng Mansion, she ran away like a rabbit without turning her head.

But when he left Kaifeng Mansion and came to the street, Ding San touched his belly and immediately regretted it. He missed the days of being in prison very much—eat enough and sleep well.Sighing, I knew I wouldn't have slipped so fast, no matter what, it's considered meritorious for solving the case, maybe I can stay for a meal or something...

Walking forward dejectedly, I didn't pay attention to the person in front of me, only to hear "Ouch", and then I came back to my senses and found that I had bumped into someone.A man came with a basket of pears, and the pears in the basket were scattered all over the ground.She quickly knelt down to help pick it up.The person who was hit picked it up and scolded: "Why don't you have eyes when you walk, the pear you just bought, this... eh? Aren't you that little beggar?"

She wondered, how could anyone know her?Taking a closer look, it turned out that it was the leading aunt who said she was the murderer at the beginning. It seemed that her surname was Li. Thinking of the momentum of her relentless pursuit of her, she hurriedly accompanied her with a smiling face to apologize to her.Unexpectedly, Aunt Li's attitude turned 180 degrees:

"Oh, there's nothing I'm sorry about, isn't it just a basket of pears? The aunt is sorry for you. She called you a murderer without knowing it, and made you spend a few days in prison. Up to now, the aunt still feels sorry for her." What!" Aunt Li rubbed her hands in embarrassment.

"Women Xia, you are upright, you are not afraid of danger, and you draw your sword to help when you see injustice, how can you blame you!" This is true, if she hadn't let her squat in the classroom, she still doesn't know how to solve the problem of food and lodging, It's all because Master Bao solved the case so quickly, she still wants to stay in prison for a few more days.

"By the way, ma'am, is there a ruined temple or something near here?"

"Broken temple? I don't know about a broken temple, but I do know of a broken house. Why are you asking this?"

"Hey, move house~"
