Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Running out of Dean Ying's courtyard, Gongsun Ce looked around, where is Bao Zheng?

In the courtyard just now, facing the corpse of the dean, Bao Zheng stood there for a while, then suddenly turned and left.Gongsun Ce hurriedly chased him out, but what about Bao Zheng?Where did you go?Gongsun Ce frowned and thought for a while, then turned around and ran towards the piano room in his memory, and finally reached the piano room.Gongsun Ce was about to go in, but he heard a soft female voice, and Gongsun Ce stopped in his footsteps.

"Master Bao, if you are sad, just cry."

This voice...is Chang Yu?Gongsun Ce lowered his eyes, after all, Chang Yu and Bao Zheng...

"Thank you for your concern, girl. I don't know where the girl came from, and why she is here? But a relative of Teacher Meng Fang? There are only teachers and students here, and few outsiders can come in." Bao Zheng said slowly in a low voice. .

"I, my name is Chang Yu, and I'm here to deliver a sachet to Teacher Meng Fang..." Chang Yu's voice seemed very shy and weak, as he spoke in detail.

"Oh, I see……"

"Master Bao, can you tell Chang Yu what you are sad about? If you can, it will make you feel better..." Chang Yu said softly.

Gongsun Ce turned around gently and didn't listen any more.It was very strange, he didn't want to go in, didn't want to go in to look for Bao Zheng, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, stuffy, Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, thinking in his heart, probably because he just saw Ying The dean was killed, feel sad.Gongsun Ce didn't think about it any further. Subconsciously, he just wanted to leave the piano room.

Walking out of the piano room and turning into the corridor, I saw Zhan Zhao looking around, as if looking for something.Gongsun Ce raised his voice and shouted, "Zhan Zhao!"

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he turned around and looked over. When he saw Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao jumped up and easily landed in front of Gongsun Ce, anxiously complaining, "Brother Gongsun, where did you and Brother Bao go! What about that?" The headhunter named Lu Yun is looking for you everywhere! What did you say that you will be in trouble when Mr. Wang arrives!"

Gongsun Ce was stunned, but immediately reacted, and grabbed Zhan Zhao, "Let's go! Let's go!"

He was only worried about Bao Zheng's mood, but he forgot to examine the corpse and collect clues!Gongsun Ce was annoyed and ashamed, really!

He hurriedly ran into the courtyard, seeing Lu Yun pacing back and forth, Gongsun Ce stepped forward and shouted, "Brother Lu!"

When Lu Yun saw Gongsun Ce, his eyes lit up, and then he frowned and complained, "Where did you all go!? Did you find a clue?"

Gongsun Ce hurriedly shook his head, then asked in a low voice, "Is Lord Wang here?"

Lu Yun shook his head, "Not yet!" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said, "You should go in quickly and take a look to see if there are any important clues!"

Gongsun Ce quickly nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go right away!"

After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he was about to enter the house when Lu Yun asked behind him, "Hey!? Where's Bao Zheng? Gongsun Ce! Why are you alone!?"

Gongsun Ce paused, then turned his head and said with a smile, "He has something to do now, don't worry, I will tell him!"

Lu Yun nodded half-understanding, "Oh."

After entering the room, Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the calmness and clarity in his eyes had recovered.

Walking to Ying Yuanzi, he took a closer look at Dean Ying's hands. This time, Dean Ying did not hold the word "日" tightly in his hand. Eyes angry in disbelief...

Gongsun Ce stared at Dean Ying's hands on the desk, but there was nothing on the desk, and all the pens, ink, paper and inkstones were scattered on the ground.However, this hand...is very strange.Was it put on purpose by the murderer?Or did Dean Ying put it up?

Gongsun Ce carefully removed Dean Ying's hand, only to find that his hand was covered with a small thing, which was a small cork.

Gongsun Ce picked up the cork and was about to take a closer look when he heard an angry reprimand, "Gongsun Ce! It's you again! What are you doing here!"

Gongsun Ce turned his head to look, and saw Wang Song pointing at himself with anger on his face.Gongsun Ce was startled, and glanced at Lu Yun who was standing at the door with a sour face out of the corner of his eye. Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, and when he turned around, he put the cork into his arms as if nothing had happened, and cupped his hands again, respectfully and politely. He said, "Student Gongsun Ce pays his respects to Lord Wang."

"Say! What are you doing here?!" Wang Song stared at Gongsun Ce gloomily, with viciousness flashing in his eyes, "Could it be that you are the murderer?!"

Gongsun Ce lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Unfortunately, the dean was murdered by villains, and the students felt very sad, so I begged Butou Lu to let the students come in alone to express their condolences. By the way, see if the dean has left any clues!"

"Hmph! The only way to investigate and apprehend the murderer is for the government office to arrest the head. Why do you need to be troublesome!? I think your condolences are false, but it is true to come here to erase your murderous traces!"

Gongsun Ce raised his eyes, looked straight at Wang Song, and said calmly, "My lord keeps saying that students are murderers. If you don't have any real evidence, please be careful! Although the students are not talented! But you also know that a top score in the provincial examination can be a complaint Submit directly to the magistrate, and write down the grievances in black and white!"

"You—" Wang Song was at a loss for words, pointing at Gongsun Ce trembling with anger.

But Gongsun Ce bowed his hands in salute, and strode out. When he walked out of the room, Gongsun Ce turned his eyes to Lu Yun, nodded slightly, and Lu Yun quickly returned his apologetic eyes.Gongsun Ce waved his hand intentionally or unintentionally, indicating that he doesn't need to care.

After leaving the yard, Zhan Zhao who was waiting outside hurriedly stepped forward, raised his head and asked, "Brother Gongsun, have you seen Brother Bao? Why haven't I seen it everywhere?"

Gongsun Ce paused, then waved at Zhan Zhao lightly, "You have something to do with Brother, let's go back first."

Zhan Zhao stared at Gongsun Ce who was walking in front of him. There seemed to be something wrong with Big Brother Gongsun's expression just now, so he asked in a low voice, "Brother Gongsun, are you alright?"

Gongsun Ce was walking away slowly. When he heard this, he stood still. For a while, Zhan Jun who was dying tragically flashed across his mind. The voice...Gongsun Ce closed his eyes, and after a while, he said in a low voice, "I have already lost a good classmate, and now, I have lost another...a good teacher..."

Regardless of what Dean Ying did back then, he is indeed a good dean and a good teacher.

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but lower his head.What he lost was... his only family member!

"Let's go! Investigate the case quickly! Give them justice!" Gongsun Ce slowly opened his eyes again, and whispered to Zhan Zhao behind him.

Zhan Zhao came back to his senses and nodded quickly, "Okay! Brother Gongsun, tell me, how do we investigate!"

"Let's go find the oldest old man in Luzhou City, the oldest doctor!" Gongsun Ce turned his head and said with a faint smile.

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he immediately lowered his face, "But, Brother Gongsun, this Luzhou City is so big, how can we find it!"

"No need to look for it!" Gongsun Ce smiled lightly, "I know."

"Huh? How do you know?" Zhan Zhao asked, then patted his head angrily, "I almost forgot! Brother Gongsun, you are from Luzhou!"

"Wrong, I'm not from Luzhou." Gongsun Ce led the way with a smile, and said, "However, during the Chinese New Year years ago, the government office wanted to give some gifts to the old birthday stars in Luzhou. I copied the form , So, I remember, who are the old birthday stars in Luzhou City, where do they live, and who among them is a doctor."

Zhan Zhao kept nodding while listening, and then asked in confusion, "Brother Gongsun, why do we need the oldest doctor?"

"Because they are the only ones who need to enter the mountain!" Gongsun Ce said intently, "I want to check the altar of the Yi people carefully. But we have never heard of the Yi people, so they must live somewhere deep and not often Appeared. Doctors need to go to the mountains to collect herbs, maybe they will know, so I just try to see if they know."

Zhan Zhao finally understood, and nodded excitedly, "Okay! Then let's go quickly!" After finishing speaking, he hesitated and asked, "Shouldn't we wait for Brother Bao?"

Gongsun Ce hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head. It is rare that Bao Zheng is starting a period of "misunderstanding". It is better... not to disturb him. Thinking of the lonely life of Master Bao in Kaifeng Mansion in his previous life, Gongsun Ce still hoped that this time, Bao Zheng can no longer be alone... Although he doesn't know why he feels uncomfortable, Gongsun Ce refuses to delve into this issue!

"Brother Bao has something to do, let's go first." Gongsun Ce said.

Zhan Zhao took a peek at Gongsun Ce's face, wondering, why did Brother Gongsun look so ugly when he said Brother Bao?

Could it be that the two had a quarrel?A big question mark appeared in front of Zhan Zhao.

***********

In Luzhou City at night, except for the dim lights in the Fireworks and Willow Alley and the bursts of laughter, the other alleys and streets are very quiet.

Gongsun Ce carried a lantern and walked in the quiet alley. A few more steps would lead to his home.

After finally learning about the situation of the Yi clan from the oldest doctor in Luzhou City, Gongsun Ce sent Zhan Zhao to look for Bao Zheng.After going around a few times by myself, I finally found the alley where my home is located.

After walking three steps to his own yard, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but stop, and looked at Bao Zheng who was sitting on the steps of his own house in a daze.

Why is he here?Gongsun Ce was puzzled, and saw Bao Zheng with his head bowed and his back bent, exuding a gloomy and gloomy aura.Gongsun Ce sighed deeply, thinking that in his previous life, Bao Zheng had been drunk and depressed because of Dean Ying's death...

Gongsun Ce took a step forward and was about to speak, but Bao Zheng raised his head and looked at him abruptly. When he saw Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng's dim eyes suddenly brightened and sharpened.

"You're back?" Bao Zheng said as he got up and walked towards Gongsun Ce, smiling lightly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Gongsun Ce saw that although Bao Zheng smiled lightly, he couldn't hide his gloom and sadness, so he chuckled lightly, "Sorry for keeping you waiting.

"It's okay, just drink with me." Bao Zheng raised his hand, shook the wine jar in his hand, and said.

Gongsun Ce stared at the wine jar in Bao Zheng's hand for a while, then slowly moved his eyes to Bao Zheng, and said, "Okay."

**********

Sitting on the steps in front of his house, he looked at Bao Zheng beside him holding the wine jar, drinking one gulp after another, not talking, just drinking wine in silence.

Gongsun Ce was worried, although he wasn't drinking heavily, but it's not a good way to drink, so he couldn't help asking, "Didn't I say to drink with you? Why did you drink alone?"

Bao Zheng paused, then turned his head to look at Gongsun Ce. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the faint helplessness and worry on Gongsun Ce's handsome face were so clear.

"Just stay with me." Bao Zheng said in a hoarse voice, turned his head, and continued to drink sips.

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he sighed helplessly.In his previous life, he was very angry because of Bao Zheng's depression, ran to scold him severely, and beat him up, but now, unlike his previous life, Bao Zheng is very calm, he is sad, so he drinks, but he doesn't because Sad and decadent self-abandonment, you can tell by seeing him drinking slowly like this, so even though he was a little worried, he didn't stop Bao Zheng from drinking, because now he just needs to be with him.

"I went to the piano room." Bao Zheng took another sip and shook the wine jar, is it empty?So he put it aside casually and stared at the night sky. At this time, there was only a full moon in the sky, which was very beautiful, but it looked deserted.

Gongsun Ce raised his eyes and met Chang Yu?

"Dean Ying's room smells like the incense of a piano room." Bao Zheng said lightly.

Gongsun Ce was startled.Incense?Often rain? !Gongsun Ce couldn't help frowning.

"Then, I met the girl you loved last time... She said her name was Chang Yu."

What kind of sympathy?Gongsun Ce felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and asked, "And then?"

"There's nothing else... After that, I just bought a jar of wine and squatted in front of your house for a long time before I squatted you down." Bao Zheng said calmly.

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng firmly. Bao Zheng was so calm, which made him a little more worried. It's okay to go crazy after being drunk like that in his previous life. At least the sadness in his heart can finally come out, but now he is so calm. look...

"If you're sad, just scold it. Don't be bored. I know that Dean Ying is one of the people you respect the most." Gongsun Ce said softly.

Bao Zheng smiled, but the smile was ugly, and the circles of his eyes were red.Bao Zheng stared at Gongsun Ce, and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to hug you, Gongsun Ce...is that okay?"
