Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

When the academy was over, Gongsun Ce walked slowly to the end and looked around. He remembered that at this time, Bao Zheng would often stay to help the teacher organize the books, and sometimes he would stay to clean the study hall or the piano room for the teacher. , so as to offset his beam repair (tuition fee).

Sure enough, after looking around, Gongsun Ce successfully saw the familiar black face in the study hall.

His eyes lit up, and Gongsun Ce walked over with a smile.

Seeing that Bao Zheng was cleaning the desk intently, scholars should have slender and clean hands, but Bao Zheng's hands were rough and callused. He glanced at the wall, and there was a broom, so he took it and cleaned it. stand up.

"Huh?" Bao Zheng heard the voice, looked up, and saw that it was the young man with elegant demeanor at the corner of the corridor. "Gongsun Ce?" Bao Zheng murmured softly, a little dazed.

Gongsun Ce raised his head, looked at Bao Zheng, and smiled, "I saw you were busy, so I didn't call you." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head again, and swept a few times in a very natural way, sweeping some dust aside, in fact, There are hardly any scraps of paper on the floor of this study hall.

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce silently for a while, then lowered his head, and continued to wipe the table.

There are 28 tables and 28 chairs in the study hall.Although they were all clean, Bao Zheng would wipe them carefully every day.

Gongsun Ce swept the dust on the ground, while Bao Zheng wiped the table.

A room of quiet, a room of tranquility.

After cleaning, Gongsun Ce took the broom and followed Bao Zheng silently to the piano room.

When he was about to reach the piano room, Bao Zheng turned around suddenly, first glanced at the broom in his hand, and asked, "Are you lost again?" with a serious expression.

get lost?How could he get lost in such a short distance?Gongsun Ce blinked in confusion, looked at Bao Zheng's serious face, and smiled after a long while, his eyes crooked, "Yes. So, if you are done with your work, can you take me home?"

Bao Zheng stared at Gongsun Ce silently for a long while, staring straight at Gongsun Ce's back with horror, then slowly turned his head, still in such a serious and calm tone, "Sweep the floor of the piano room."

Gongsun Ce glanced at the back of Bao Zheng who had turned around to wipe the piano, and was a little speechless. Before being reborn, the person who talked to himself before "Mr. Gongsun" and "Mr. Gongsun" was so displeased with a person he just met. polite? ...... At least say please.

Seeing that Bao Zheng was fully focused on wiping the piano, Gongsun Ce thought to himself, this is good, anyway, sooner or later, he must get familiar with it, then he lowered his head, took the broom, and started sweeping quietly.

After wiping the piano on the teacher's desk, Bao Zheng turned around and looked at the elegant young man who was sweeping the floor with his head down.

What a ...... interesting man.

I thought he was just a polite and courteous official son, but I didn't expect that he was an elegant person who did not stick to the worldly views of rich and poor.

He, Bao Zheng, was from a poor family, and he was able to study in this famous academy thanks to the appreciation of the dean and teachers.

There are people who can appreciate it, but there are also many people who despise it.It's just that he never cared, and he didn't bother to be with them.

When he saw him in the corridor, he could tell at a glance that he was a son of an official family. The fine clothes and the temperament exuded from his body, especially when he saw the sachet worn around his waist, the magnolia flowers and velvet flowers embroidered on the sachet. The cuffs of Lord Yin Gongsun, the governor of the state, are exactly the same. In an instant, he guessed, could this be Lord Gongsun's son?

And when the official boy turned around, he unexpectedly found that those beautiful clear eyes were peaceful and gentle, without the reserve and arrogance he had seen in official children.

But now, looking at his posture with the broom, standard and proficient, Bao Zheng silently guessed, could it be that Mr. Gongsun is actually having a difficult time at home?

After sweeping the floor, Gongsun Ce stretched, turned around, and saw Bao Zheng looking at him, so he smiled peacefully like in his previous life, "Are you done?"

Bao Zheng nodded, took the broom from Gongsun Ce, turned around, and said, "Let's go. I'll take you home."

After saying that, he strode out.When they walked to the door of the piano room, they picked up the box containing the books of the two of them and put their upper bodies on their backs.

Gongsun Ce smiled, put his hands behind his back, and followed behind Bao Zheng, walking slowly, looking at the young but straight back in front of him, his heart was at peace.

Luzhou, whether it is big or small, is approaching dusk, and there are still many people selling stalls at the foot of the mountain.

The evening wind blows, and the colorful clouds cover the distant sky.

Gazing at the scenery in the distance, listening to the high and low cries of the stalls passing by, passers-by passing by from time to time told him that this is Luzhou, the Luzhou where he lived 30 years ago.

He couldn't help but stop and looked at the stall selling wontons not far away. He remembered that in his previous life, when he came home from the academy, he would often buy a bowl of Chaos. Later, he got acquainted with Bao Zheng and started solving various cases. Haven't bought Chaos here again.He remembered that the smell of this family was very light.

"Hungry?" The sudden question brought him back to his senses.

He turned his head and saw Bao Zheng asking seriously, he was taken aback for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Bao Zheng turned his head and handed the book box in his hand to Gongsun Ce, "Wait." After saying that, he walked towards the wonton stall.

Gongsun Ce was startled and wanted to stop, but seeing the figure striding away, he just opened his mouth in the end. If this person decides something sometimes, he won't be changed.Seeing that he is so determined, is it because I helped him clean, so I want to buy a wonton for myself as a thank you?Based on his understanding of Bao Zheng, this is almost certain.

That's right, others may believe things like getting lost, but Bao Zheng,......

Sure enough, Bao Zheng came over with the wontons in his hand, and with one free hand, he took Gongsun Ce's wrist and walked to a remote alley.

"Let's eat." Bao Zheng took the book box and put it on the ground as a stump, so he asked Gongsun Ce to sit down. Gongsun Ce stared at the book box on the ground, hesitant. Bao Zheng despised those who regarded books as treasures. Scholars often say a word, "Books are dead, but people are alive."

Look, it's now, "Sit! Books don't know whether wontons are good or not." Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce with hesitation, and said lightly.

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud, and sat down generously.His heart was full of joy, watching Bao Zheng who took out the book from the book box, sat on the book box again, and flipped through it carefully, felt that it was good to be reborn, he had never seen such a Bao Zheng.

Eating wontons, the light and delicious taste in his memory, Gongsun Ce couldn't help squinting his eyes and looking at the sky, the sky is full of colorful clouds, it's so good.Then he glanced at the person next to him with regular facial features, dark complexion, who was concentrating on reading, with peace of mind, and glanced at the wontons held in the chopsticks in his hand, feeling a little teasing, stretched them over, and said with a smile, "Good boy, open your mouth."

He wanted to look at the face that froze and deepened his complexion, but he didn't want to--

Bao Zheng glanced at him sideways, opened his mouth, bit down, chewed, swallowed slowly, and then said lightly, "Not bad." He added, "The taste is a bit mild."

He glanced at the bowl in his hand again, "Finish? Then let's go." He took the bowl, walked across the street, and returned it to the wonton boss.

But Gongsun Ce finally came back to his senses slowly after becoming ossified, and his heart was a little depressed. People who were so rigid and serious in their previous life would do this when they were young?

After returning the bowl to the boss, he turned his head to look at Gongsun Ce, who was carrying the book box with a gloomy look on his face, and Bao Zheng smiled inwardly.

Walk over, take the book box, and go first.

Gongsun Ce still followed behind slowly, stopping from time to time to look around, peddlers carrying stalls, restaurants on the side of the road that were either closed or shouting, the moat in Luzhou was flowing slowly, and the willows beside the river Swaying in the wind.

Sometimes he smiled faintly, and sometimes he stared at Bao Zheng who was always keeping two steps away from him, feeling very peaceful in his heart.

Arrived at Luzhou government office.

Bao Zheng turned around and handed over Gongsun Ce's book box, "It's here."

Gongsun Ce looked up, feeling very nostalgic in his heart, then turned his head to look at Bao Zheng, cupped his hands to say goodbye, and smiled, "Why don't you come in and have a seat?"

Bao Zheng shook his head slowly, "Come visit me another day."

Gongsun Ce nodded, knowing that Bao Zheng had to go back to help his sister-in-law, so he said goodbye and watched Bao Zheng leave before he turned and walked into the mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Gongsun Ce walked towards the back hall eagerly. He wanted to see his parents whom he hadn't seen for 30 years, but after walking a few steps, he heard a voice behind him that he hadn't heard in 30 years, "Ce'er! "

Gongsun Ce froze subconsciously, and then worked hard to adjust his breathing and emotions, before slowly turning around, looking at his father and mother behind him with loving smiles, he slowly smiled, "Father! Mother!"

*********************

At the table, the Gongsun family was eating quietly. Although it was very quiet, Mrs. Gongsun added vegetables and meat to Gongsun Ce from time to time, which was very warm.

Seeing Mrs. Gongsun's abnormally pale face and kind smile, Gongsun Ce felt very uncomfortable.

At this time, the mother's illness has not yet reached the point where the medicine stone is useless, Gongsun Ce thought, maybe he can change it.

After eating, the family sat in the middle hall and chatted for a while, and Gongsun Ce persuaded his mother to go back and rest.

When only the two of them were left, Gongsun Ce asked, "Father, mother's illness..."

When mentioning his wife's illness, Gongsunzheng felt depressed, "Hey, those doctors all said the same thing, what kind of rest and rejuvenation! Hey! They are all useless trash!"

Gongsun Ce thought to himself, at this time, he can't reveal his ability, and his mentor, he met his mentor three years later in his previous life, and only learned all his medical skills. In this life, maybe, he can advance?

If you can invite a mentor, my mother will definitely be healthy and healthy!

After making up his mind, Gongsun Ce raised his eyes to look at Gongsun Zheng, thinking about how he should tell his father so that he could send someone to look for his teacher, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Gongsun Zheng's brow furrowed deeply.

I couldn't help being stunned, "Father, what's the matter? But what's bothering you about the government office today?"

Gongsun Zheng hummed and sighed softly, "Today someone came to file a complaint, saying that the daughter-in-law poisoned her parents-in-law to death. The evidence of the crime was convincing, but the daughter-in-law kept saying that she was wronged! She said that what she gave her parents-in-law was a cure, no? □□, and that coward is really, one moment said that the parents-in-law said it was □□, and another moment they said they were not sure about it! Hey!"

Gongsun Ce thought for a while, all poisoners would never use gunpowder, because it is too obvious, and gunpowder is not easy to buy.

Just as he was about to say that he wanted to go and have a look, Gongsun Zheng stood up and waved his hands irritably, "Hey, it's useless to tell you about this! You should study hard!" After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out of the main hall.

Gongsun Ce looked at Gongsun Zheng's back and thought, okay.Then I go to study, um.Tonight, go and see again.If you can't see it, please invite the future Master Bao Qingtian to help.

Gongsun Ce thought happily, got up with a smile, and went back to his room.

*******************************

In the evening, Gongsun Ce came to the morgue.

However, there was one person behind him.

Speechless looked back, the complexion of the person behind him was already dark, even though he had a candle in his hand, he still looked very dark, except for the moon, which was a bit bright because of its silvery white, he glanced at the moon, actually, Gongsun Ce has always had a question that he was very curious about. When Bao Zheng walked around at night, did he often see those floating around? ?Have you chatted with those Piao Piao?Isn't Piao Piao scary?But in his previous life, he didn't dare to ask this question. Mo, Mr. Bao Qingtian's majesty is actually quite afraid of him, Mr. Gongsun. He originally wanted to wait until he died to ask this question. The scene where the old-fashioned Mr. Bao twitched his mouth......

"Have you seen enough?" Bao Zheng asked calmly with his hands behind his back.

Gongsun Ce regained his senses, froze, and turned around, "This is the morgue." He whispered in his heart, embarrassing!

Bao Zheng glanced at Gongsun Ce who turned his head to avoid his gaze. Although he couldn't see the expression, he guessed that it must be embarrassment. He smiled again, strode forward, and pushed open the door of the morgue.

He looked at the registration book that came from Fang Catcher, counted it, and then stopped at the wooden board with the "three" cloth strip hanging on it.

"It's this one." Gongsun Ce moved the lantern candle in his hand to facilitate Bao Zheng's inspection.Then quiet down.

Speaking of autopsy, Bao Zheng is a master. He has followed for many years and has medical skills, so he can barely fight. Bao Zheng does not know medical skills, but he knows how to observe. It is murder or suicide. His judgment is faster and more accurate than his autopsy.

Bao Zheng was very focused during the autopsy, and Gongsun Ce often suspected that if someone put a knife on Bao Zheng at this time, Bao Zheng might not know it.During Bao Zheng's autopsy, he always looked carefully and slowly from top to bottom. In this case, two people died, an old man and an old woman.Bao Zheng looked at the old man first. He looked at it slowly and carefully from top to bottom. During the autopsy, sometimes, he would suddenly take out some small things that would always be ignored from the dead. For example, now, Gongsun Ce's hand He spread out the handkerchief that he had already pinched, Bao Zheng put it down casually without looking up, Gongsun Ce took a closer look, and saw that it was a small blue silk.

After reading it from top to bottom, he only observed the parts, such as the hand, Bao Zheng gently picked up the old man's hand, squinted his eyes for a while, then put it down, walked to the old woman's side, grabbed the hand, and looked at it for a while , just put it down, and then slowly got up.

"It's poisoning." Bao Zheng said calmly, and took Gongsun Ce's lantern, "Take a look."

Gongsun Ce was a little hesitant. If he had an autopsy, he would have to be professional, but if he was professional, something would be exposed. In front of Bao Zheng, he was not sure that he could justify himself.

That's all.The secret of rebirth must not be known to others anyway.Even Bao Zheng.

He shook his head slowly, "I don't understand."

Bao Zheng raised his eyes, "I thought you understood."

Gongsun Ce was taken aback.

Bao Zheng took the handkerchief in Gongsun Ce's hand, looked at it, and said casually, "Just now, you seem to know that I will use the handkerchief, and when you hold the lantern to shine on it, you also seem to know where I will look."

Gongsun Ce was in a cold sweat, he could actually see these small movements?No, how did he notice?

"I don't know where you want to look. It's just that you moved, so I moved the lantern too." Gongsun Ce was stunned. At the same time, he looked at Bao Zheng innocently, expecting, my Bao Zheng. My lord, you must stop chasing after these little tricks.

This is a move from the previous life. When Mr. Bao Qingtian was in a bad mood and wanted to punish the lazy Kaifeng government servant, and Mr. Gongsun was entrusted by the innocent government servant to pretend to scold the government servant but actually helped to excuse him. Looking at the staring Mr. Bao, Mr. Bao will surrender...

But, is this useful for the juvenile version of Mr. Bao?Gongsun Ce was worried.

Bao Zheng looked at the innocence in the clear and bright eyes in front of him a little speechlessly, turned his head slowly, and coughed lightly, "Has Lord Gongsun made a verdict?"

Gongsun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time put his hands together, he will go to worship tomorrow!Thank you, thank you Bodhisattva!

"Not yet, Dad said this case is also very strange." He said hurriedly.

Bao Zheng hummed and walked out of the morgue, Gongsun Ce hurriedly followed.

In the silent night, under the moonlight, the two walked in the quiet front hall of the government office one after the other.

"You don't ask?" Suddenly, Bao Zheng asked in a low voice.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then blinked in confusion, "What are you asking?"

Bao Zheng stared at Gongsun Ce for a long time, until Gongsun Ce was horrified again, and then said, "Are you always like this? Whoever comes to the morgue do you open the door? Why don't you ask me why I came? Why did you look at that?" The corpse of Mrs. Lu?" There was some questioning in his tone.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and then he was very innocent, "That's because you are Bao Zheng."

Bao Zheng was startled, fell silent, turned around and walked a few steps, and then couldn't help but say, "You've only known me for a day, and you trust me like that?"

Gongsun Ce smiled, "I don't know why, but I just think you can trust me."

Bao Zheng turned his head and saw the elegant and elegant young man under the moonlight, with a smile full of trust that came from nowhere.
