Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

After coming out of the restaurant, the two went back to the government office, just in time to run into Lu Yun who was coming out to look for Bao Zheng with the duty map. Rescued his own room.

Entering the wing room, Bao Zheng looked at this very simple room, Guqin, one table, four treasures of the study, one bed, one round table, and three round stools.

"Come, sit down." Gongsun Ce poured tea, put it on the table, and called Bao Zheng to come and sit down.

Bao Zheng withdrew his gaze, watched Gongsun Ce sitting on the round stool and smiled at him, then sat down beside Gongsun Ce.

"Your room is exactly as I imagined." Bao Zheng said with a smile after sitting down.

Gongsun Ce paused when he heard the words, and looked at Bao Zheng. These words were really similar to more than ten years later, when Bao Zheng entered Kaifeng, he followed him in and tidied up his yard. Bao Zheng walked into his yard for the first time. , said the same thing.

It’s just that at that time, for some reason, Master Bao’s words were a lot alienated. He still remembered Master Bao saying, “Mr. Gongsun’s yard is similar to what I imagined. It really deserves to be Mr. Gongsun.”

I don't know when it started, but Bao Zheng always called him Mr. Gongsun.

"What's wrong?" Bao Zheng frowned slightly, what's the matter with Gongsun Ce's confused and nostalgic expression?

Gongsun Ce came back to his senses, was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly smiled, "It's okay. It's just that I suddenly thought of some old things."

Old things?Bao Zheng stared at Gongsun Ce calmly, but his mind turned around, what happened?To make Gongsun Ce show such a nostalgic and dazed expression...

"By the way! Let's take a look at this duty map." Gongsun Ce was terrified by Bao Zheng's thoughtful eyes, and hurriedly took the duty map in Bao Zheng's hand, spread it out on the table, and turned his head to Bao Zheng Zheng innocently blinked, "Tell me, is there something tricky hidden in the yamen servant on duty?"

Bao Zheng glanced at Gongsun Ce, then turned his head and stared intently at the map on duty.

Seeing that Bao Zheng had changed his mind, Gongsun Ce heaved a sigh of relief, and wiped off his sweat. He really couldn't relax in front of Mr. Bao.

While Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were studying the duty map, Luzhou City began to panic, and Lu Yun led people around to search for the owners of the two earrings.

*********

"Look, there are six people on duty in front of the prince's attic. Two people stand in front of the door, four people stand in the corridor, and there are two people on duty at the round arch before entering the attic." Bao Zheng pointed to the picture and said. .

"Well, should we ask these yamen servants on duty?" Gongsun Ce asked while staring at the duty map. He remembered that in his previous life, Shen Liang mixed with these yamen servants on duty, waiting for an opportunity to kill the prince!

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Of course! But let's clarify the facts of the case first."

"In the early morning, the prince suddenly let out a scream. When the servants rushed in, they saw that the prince was dead, and the room was in a mess." Bao Zheng murmured while thinking, "There are three problems here. First, the prince What happened to the screams? Second, when the servants rushed in, the prince was already dead. We must judge exactly when the prince died? Third, the room was in a mess. There will definitely be fights or struggles, so how could the yamen outside the door not hear it?"

"Fourth, it's impossible for the servants to know about the girls that the prince forcibly took away!" Gongsun Ce added.

"Fifth, what you saw about Shen Liang's murder." Bao Zheng stared at Gongsun Ce seriously, his piercing eyes staring straight at Gongsun Ce, "You must never tell anyone other than me!"

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng, feeling a little hot in his heart. Bao Zheng was worried about himself. If someone knew about it, he might be suspected.

"I know. You've already said it twice." Gongsun Ce said with a smile, very happy.

Bao Zheng stared at the smile on Gongsun Ce's face, relaxed a little, and wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he gave up, just got up and said, "Now let's go to Wu Zuo to ask for clarification."

Gongsun Ce got up after him, but he frowned worriedly and said, "I'm afraid that the corpse of the Koryo prince will be guarded by them Koryo people, and I'm afraid I may not be able to find anything." Looking at Bao Zheng again, he was puzzled, "In the post Didn't you check the time of the prince's death in the museum?"

Bao Zheng shook his head slowly, "No." Turning around and seeing Gongsun Ce's expression of disbelief, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "I'm not a doctor, how could I know the time of the prince's death?"

Gongsun Ce's heart froze, and then he remembered that Bao Zheng was able to judge the time of death after a few years... He couldn't help laughing awkwardly.

The two left the government office and came to the street. Seeing people running around in a panic on the street, and seeing the yamen guards arresting people and asking them fiercely, Bao Zheng couldn't help frowning, but Gongsun Ce It's a wry smile again and again, it seems that no matter the previous life or the present, Dad is always timid and afraid of getting into trouble...

Bao Zheng wanted to step forward to stop him, but after taking a few steps, he turned around and saw that Gongsun Ce didn't follow, but looked at him helplessly and embarrassedly.Bao Zheng stood there silently for a while, and then slowly walked back to Gongsun Ce.Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng and smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, my father..."

Bao Zheng slowly shook his head, "Forget it! Let's investigate the case quickly, catch the murderer as soon as possible and give the Koreans an explanation to solve the current problem!"

Gongsun Ce nodded, yes, this is the solution to the problem!

So, the two hurriedly headed towards the post house again, met Lu Yun on the way, and the two hurriedly told Lu Yun to call all the yamen servants who were on duty yesterday to the post house!

When he came to the prince's attic in the post house, Bao Zheng stood in front of the prince's attic, with his hands behind his back, watching quietly and thinking deeply.

Gongsun Ce didn't speak, but stood quietly behind Bao Zheng, trying to recall what was different about the case in his previous life.Where is the problem?Shen Liang chatted with Bao Zheng all night last night, and drank wine all night. Wasn't Shen Liang the murderer?Who the hell is that?

He wanted to stop all this, and told Bao Zheng in advance that Shen Liang had killed the Crown Prince of Gaoli, so that Bao Zheng should pay attention to Shen Liang. Bao Zheng believed his words and paid attention to Shen Liang. Bao Zheng talked and drank with Shen Liang every two days, and occasionally asked Lu Yun about Shen Liang in a casual manner... He also cooperated, paying attention to Shen Liang's whereabouts from time to time. Under the inadvertent "surveillance", Shen Liang did his duty without any movement, but at this time, the crown prince was still dead!And how similar this death is to the previous life!

Where is the problem?Gongsun Ce thought hard.

At this time, Lu Yun's voice sounded, "Brother Bao! Young Master! Brothers are here!"

Gongsun Ce came back to his senses and looked at Lu Yun. Bao Zheng also turned around and looked over at this time.

Bao Zheng first cupped his hands to the yamen guards behind Lu Yun, and said with a smile, "Brothers, I'm sorry, we won't say too many polite words, please take your seats according to yesterday's rotation."

The yamen servants and arresters behind Lu Yun hurriedly bowed their hands and stood up. Gongsun Ce noticed that their speed was very fast, almost instantly, whoever stood there, left and right, could be said to have almost no hesitation. of.In other words, they are very, very familiar with this duty.

"Big brothers were here yesterday? Everyone came, right?" Bao Zheng asked, his words were very friendly.

One of the yamen servants standing in front of the house said, "All of us came to be on duty yesterday. When we were on duty, each of us went to Lutou's place to sign and report."

At this time, Lu Yun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That's right! Brothers must report to me or Shen Liang before they are on duty, because this time it is the Prince of Korea who came, and there was an assassin incident before. Your Excellency attaches great importance to it. He and Shen Liang didn't dare to neglect either."

Bao Zheng nodded thoughtfully, then cupped his hands, and said solemnly, "Brothers, you also know that this matter is very important, if you are not careful, maybe there will be wars in Song Dynasty again, now Bao Zheng asks everyone I also hope that the big brothers can cooperate and tell the truth.”

The yamen servants hurriedly said, "Mr. Bao, you are polite." "Mr. Bao, you can ask whatever you want." "We will definitely not hide it."

"The first question, did someone send a woman over yesterday? Who sent it?"

The yamen servants suddenly showed embarrassment and a look of hesitation, Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng looked at each other and thought to themselves, it really is so!

Seeing this, Lu Yun stepped forward impatiently and angrily, "Say! Is it true that someone sent the girl here?"

One of the yamen servants, Nuonuo, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Lutou, that General Koryo came in with a man wrapped in a sack last night. We didn't know it was a woman at first, but it was...then we heard that there was a woman inside." Call for help, we just know..."

Bao Zheng frowned, Gongsun Ce was also unhappy, knowing that there was a woman calling for help but why didn't he help?But Gongsun Ce thought again, the person living in it was the Crown Prince of Korea, so what about these yamen servants?He also thought that even Bao Zheng, when facing Grand Master Pang, knew what Grand Master Pang had done, but at some point he was helpless?Thinking about it, Gongsun Ce sighed softly.

"Then what happened afterwards? A woman called for help, but did you knock on the door?" Bao Zheng asked in a deep voice.

"Yes! But the crown prince scolded us and said that no matter what happens inside, we are not allowed to come in."

"The prince screamed, who was the first to enter the room?" Bao Zheng asked abruptly.

The yamen servants were startled, and then they frowned. After a while, one of the yamen servants raised his hand weakly, "Okay, it seems to be me?"

"Where are you standing?"

"Um, I'm on the left side of the door."

"When the prince called, I saw that it was indeed Li San who rushed in first, right?"

"No, Liu Si also rushed in."

"Oh! Are they both at the same time?"

"It seems so..."
