Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Although Gongsun Ce left with Bao Zheng, when he left, he still looked back worriedly, making sure that Shen Liang had already stood in front of the young man, blocking the man named Qin Wenchang, and then turned back in peace.

"Shen Butou is a little unusual, but Bao Zheng thinks he is a man of loyalty, you can rest assured." Suddenly, Bao Zheng, who was walking in front of Gongsun Ce, said in a low voice.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but stop, unusual?What's the meaning?

Bao Zheng turned around at this time, looked at Gongsun Ce, raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's just my feeling, I just think he doesn't want to be an ordinary policeman. There is no basis for it, just listen to it. Anyway, he He's not a treacherous person." Bao Zheng seemed to be talking casually, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and continued on his way.

Leaving Gongsun Ce standing where he was, he was both a little shocked and a little tangled.

Since Mr. Bao, you have long thought that he is not an ordinary policeman, so at the beginning...you called him brothers again, did you just pretend not to know?

********

The two left the alley and turned into a small teahouse at the end of the alley. After serving tea and pastries, Bao Zheng tapped his fingers on the table, listening thoughtfully to the chatter in the teahouse.

Gongsun Ce knew that this was Bao Zheng's habit of investigating cases. He came to teahouses, restaurants, or theaters near the plaintiff's or defendant's residence, and listened to gossip. Confession, but there are also quite a few interesting things in these gossips, or quite valuable clues.

Gongsun Ce poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup, and drank it leisurely.

"Have you heard? The little daughter-in-law of the Qin family has been arrested!"

"I've known this for a long time! When I came to arrest people yesterday, I watched it with my own eyes! Hey! I really didn't expect it. The young daughter-in-law of the Qin family looks weak and weak. She usually treats the two elders of the Qin family It’s quite filial, to actually do such a thing!”

"Didn't it say that the master and wife of the Qin family died of sudden illness?"

"What kind of sudden illness! It was force-fed to death!"

"How do you know? The Lord Fu Yin hasn't settled the case yet!"

"When the corpse was carried into the government office, I saw it with my own eyes. The lips were all black. Isn't that just being force-fed?!"

"Hey! I don't think it was the daughter-in-law of the Qin family who did it! If the daughter-in-law of the Qin family was really so cruel, in the early years, before the boss of the Qin family came back, the Qin family had no money, and the old man of the Qin family was about to die of illness. Oh, and when that bastard Qin Wenchang took the opportunity to force the ancestral house, the daughter-in-law of the Qin family can put down her burden and ignore the two elders of the Qin family! There is no need to kowtow to the third elder Liu and beg him on his knees Three, see a doctor for the old man of the Qin family!"

"I don't think so either. But now that the boss of the Qin family is back, I heard that there seems to be something going on between the boss of the Qin family and that little daughter-in-law!"

"That's right! I've heard about this. The boss of the Qin family didn't know what kind of wealth he made outside. This time, the old man of the Qin family wanted to marry him while he was still alive, so that he could hug his grandson as soon as possible. , but the boss of the Qin family refused, so angry that the old man of the Qin family almost beat someone with a stick!"

"Hey! Could it be that the boss of the Qin family has taken a fancy to the little daughter-in-law?"

"Hey! I said, this is a matter of fame, don't talk nonsense!"

"Then why doesn't the boss of the Qin family get married?"

……

Putting down the teacup, Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng had already recovered, nodded to Gongsun Ce and said, "Let's go." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the half of the cakes left on the table and smiled. Looking up at Gongsun Ce, "Do you like apricot cake?"

Gongsun Ce smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm just hungry."

Bao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to look at the sky outside, and said apologetically, "Why don't I treat you to noodles?"

Gongsun Ce was taken aback when he heard this, then smiled and said, "I want to eat wontons."

"Okay!" Bao Zheng nodded bluntly, and when he got up and wanted to ask Xiao Er to pay the bill, Gongsun Ce smiled, "I've bought this meal, you can buy me wontons."

When Bao Zheng heard this, he turned his head and stared at Gongsun Ce for a while, then nodded slowly, "That's fine."

A bowl of wonton costs only two renminbi, but a meal in a small teahouse costs [-] renminbi.

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce who was sitting opposite him, although his movements were not slow, but he was eating the small wontons slowly with exceptional grace. Come and eat this bowl of two-cent wontons.

This man is... special.

After thinking for a while, Bao Zheng could only use the word "special" to explain how the person in front of him made him feel.

I know what I am thinking, I know some of my habits. In the teahouse, I know that I am listening to those gossips, and I don’t bother myself. I just drink slowly by myself and eat cakes leisurely.Knowing that he was short of money, he paid the bill first, and even asked himself to buy a bowl of wontons worth two cents. This kind of calm and considerate, to be honest, Bao Zheng knew it in his heart, and there was a warm feeling in his heart. .

At this moment, an idea gradually became clear in Bao Zheng's mind, the person in front of him was worthy of Bao Zheng's heart and soul to make friends with!

"Okay." After eating the wontons, Gongsun Ce wiped his mouth in satisfaction, showing an embarrassed smile, "I made you laugh."

"Why am I joking?" Bao Zheng asked as he took out four Wen coins and put them on the table.

"Uh... I don't look very good at eating..." Gongsun Ce scratched his head in embarrassment. He was really hungry just now, and he was in a hurry to eat.On weekdays, he always eats slowly.

Bao Zheng paused when he heard the words, turned his head slowly, stared at Gongsun Ce, and stared at Gongsun Ce so nervously, thinking that he had revealed some flaws, Bao Zheng slowly said, "If you don't look good, , then am I ashamed?"

Gongsun Ce was taken aback, huh?

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce's blank face, but smiled suddenly, "Let's go." Turning his head, he took the first step.

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment before he realized that Mr. Bao was making fun of himself?

After recovering, Gongsun Ce hurriedly followed.He didn't ask Bao Zheng where he was going, but just followed quietly.

Bao Zheng slowed down, turned his head and said in a low voice, "You don't ask?" If you don't ask, where am I going?

"No need." Gongsun Ce replied with a smile. After many years of practice, he was used to following Bao Zheng.No matter what the reason is, even when he lost his memory, he felt helpless, but he just watched silently, followed, and played crazy with him...

Bao Zheng's footsteps paused slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "I'm going to sell you."

"Well, remember to give me half of the money." Gongsun Ce said with a smile, but his eyes were very bright.

Bao Zheng laughed, turned around and strode away.Gongsun Ce followed closely behind.

The distance between the two is not long, only one and a half steps.

*********

Look up and see the name of the pharmacy in front of you - "Qingshengtang"?

Gongsun Ce smiled, this must be the place where the daughter-in-law of the Qin family usually buys medicine.

"Hi, gentlemen! But do you want to get some medicine?" The clerk at the pharmacy hurried forward to greet them when he saw them.

"I want to grab the medicine." Bao Zheng took out a piece of medicine from his sleeve and placed it on the counter table casually.

The clerk hurriedly picked it up and took a look, but his expression changed, "I'm sorry! Two young masters, we won't arrest you here!" There was still some panic in his voice.

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Isn't it traditional Chinese medicine? Why didn't you arrest it?"

The guy smiled mischievously, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he stammered a bit, "That, that..."

"What about this and that? Could it be that the medicine is poisonous and you dare not sell it to others?" Gongsun Ce stepped forward at this time and said with a sneer on purpose.

As soon as Gongsun Ce said this, the man's face became even paler.

At this time, a voice raged, "What nonsense!! There is no poison in our medicine!"

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng followed the sound and saw an old man coming out from behind with a gloomy expression.

"Bring it! Let me see!" The old man stretched out his hand to the buddy.

The man handed it over tremblingly, the old man took a look, his expression also changed, but then he snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, his eyes were sharp, "Are you from the government?"

"It is." Bao Zheng said lightly.

Gongsun Ce tapped his fingers on the table pretending to be impatient, "I said, are you going to grab this medicine or not?!"

The old man ignored Gongsun Ce, frowned and looked at Bao Zheng, "What do you mean?"

"Be entrusted by others, to complain for others!" Bao Zheng said concisely and firmly.

The old man was taken aback, then fell silent for a while, took the medicine and turned around and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll get you the medicine."

Gongsun Ce looked at the old man who completely ignored him, and couldn't help touching his nose, feeling a little funny and embarrassed in his heart. Really, every time there is an occasion with Mr. Bao, he will always be ignored...

"Master, Master?" The man was startled.

"The old man Qin only suffers from wind-cold syndrome, as long as the three packs of medicine are taken, the old man Qin will definitely be alive and kicking!" The old man said in a low voice while taking the medicine, "I have been treating old man Qin for more than ten years. A few years ago, when the old man Qin was dying of illness, I was the one who rescued him with three packs of medicine! Said my prescription was poisonous? Hmph! I'll drink it for you to see myself later!"

"What about □□?" Gongsun Ce asked softly, although he already knew the answer... It is absolutely impossible to buy □□ from a pharmacy, and even if he bought it, according to the autopsy last night, it is definitely not Could be that big of a portion!

"□□? Haha! It's even more impossible for you, the imperial court has regulations! You can't buy and sell privately! Even if you buy and sell, you must know that one or two pharmacies may not sell it to you! That day, the daughter-in-law of the Qin family came to the pharmacy to get the medicine herself At that time, I grabbed the medicine and handed it to her. Where did she buy it? I don't know, but I can tell you clearly that when the daughter-in-law of the Qin family left the medicine store, there was absolutely no □□This kind of thing!"
