Thousands of years

Looking at his reaction, Zhan Zhao's face obviously changed, his ears felt a little hot, and he sighed helplessly in his heart: What's the matter with this girl, every time I meet, I talk about the two of them everywhere, a little girl I don't have any reserve, so I just said it after thinking about it again, and it's good to stop some people's thoughts.

So Zhan Zhao nodded, looked at Ding Yuehua, and said seriously: "That's right. Everything she said is true."

Although he was mentally prepared, Ding Yuehua was still really surprised by Zhan Zhao's generous acknowledgment. For some reason, a faint sense of disappointment still rose in a certain corner of his heart.She didn't say anything more, but she thought in her heart that she must stop his two elder brothers, so that she wouldn't be bored anymore.

The sky turned gloomy at some point, and there seemed to be signs of rain. Seeing that the vendors on the street were rushing to pack up and go home, Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said to Ding Yuehua, "Miss Ding, The weather is bad, let's go back."

Ding Yuehua was also uninterested at the moment, so he nodded, and the two turned around and returned to Kaifeng Mansion. When they arrived at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, they saw a street patrolman rushing from the east. Zhan Zhao rushed to meet him and asked: " what happened?"

"Lord Zhan, a homicide occurred in the Mibaozhai on Maxing Street. The shopkeeper and the staff were killed." The arrester said out of breath. "What?" Zhan Zhao was startled, and was about to follow him.

Ding Yuehua called softly from behind: "Master Zhan, wait a moment." Zhan Zhao looked back at her in surprise, only to see that she took an umbrella from the porter and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "It's going to rain, Mr. Zhan still take an umbrella." Umbrellas are better."

Zhan Zhao reached out to take the umbrella, nodded slightly at her and said, "Thank you." Then he turned around and strode away.

Ding Yuehua watched his back in a hurry, sighed softly, turned and entered Kaifeng mansion.

Mibaozhai is located in the middle of Mahang Street. It is a relatively large jewelry and jade shop in this area. Its business has always been good, and it is also well-known in the capital. The shopkeeper's surname is Lu, who is from Jiangnan.

At this moment, many people gathered around the gate of Mibaozhai, everyone was discussing, some people saw that Zhan Zhao was coming, they hurriedly made way for him.

Zhan Zhao entered the Mibao Zhai, and asked the policemen guarding there about the situation: It turned out that the Mibao Zhai hadn't opened for a long time today, and the surrounding shops felt strange, until a customer who came from afar couldn't stand it and broke the door. After entering, it was discovered that the shopkeeper Lu and the shop assistant Shi Shi were killed in the shop.

Zhan Zhao looked at the person who found the body, the person was so frightened that his face was pale and his whole body was shaking like chaff, he couldn't utter a complete sentence, Zhan Zhao saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he ordered someone to take him back to Kaifeng mansion first.

Zhan Zhao then leaned over and examined the corpse carefully: the corpse of the buddy Shishi was not far from the door, he was probably killed when he heard the sound in the middle of the night, the corpse was in a prone position, with a puddle of blood on his body, Zhan Zhao took the corpse Turning it over, I saw that the clothes on the chest of the corpse were soaked with blood, and the wound was wide and wide. It should be a knife wound, and he was killed by a knife.After passing the counter and walking in, the shopkeeper Lu Changcai fell on his back in front of the door leading to the backyard. A hideous knife mark ran down his face, and the bones could be seen deep.

Zhan Zhao frowned, and the hand holding the sword tightened. He stood up and glanced at the store. The store had been turned upside down, and all kinds of jewelry and jade were thrown on the ground. Didn't the murderer do it for money?Is it a vendetta?Thinking of this, he ordered the police to transport the body back to the mansion for inspection, and ordered people to notify the family of shopkeeper Lu and the staff Shi Shito to Kaifeng mansion for questioning, while he himself had to go out to ask the surrounding neighbors about the situation.

When a group of police officers were carrying Lu Changcai's body, a copper token slipped from the treasurer Lu's arms, and they hurriedly handed it to Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao took the token and inspected it carefully. The token was very small, with a white magnolia flower engraved on it, and the Chinese character "Orchid" engraved in the middle.A thought flashed through Zhan Zhao's mind, Ming Lanjiao?That sect that specializes in collecting rare treasures from the rivers and lakes?Why does shopkeeper Lu have this token on his body?Is shopkeeper Lu himself taught by Minglan?Or is the murderer related to the Minglan Sect?I am afraid that this matter will be investigated by the family of shopkeeper Lu.

Zhan Zhaofang was about to step out, when he heard a muffled thunder outside the door, followed by heavy rain, the sky suddenly darkened, and all the spectators ran away in an instant.

Zhan Zhao shook the oilcloth umbrella in his hand, and thought: Fortunately, Ding Yuehua handed him an umbrella at that time.He opened the umbrella and went out. In the dense rain curtain, he saw a familiar thin figure running in the rain. He was anxious, and quickly stepped into the rain. After a few steps, he caught up with Lin Ruoqing and covered her head with the umbrella, for her. Blocked the rain.

Lin Ruoqing, who ran out because she was curious to watch the excitement, was completely soaked at this moment, and her new clothes were all attached to her body. She was rushing to the store when she suddenly felt that the top of her head was dark, and the rain seemed to stop. Then came a gentle voice with a little reproach: "It's raining and you still come out?"

Lin Ruoqing wiped the rain off her face, looked back, was it Zhan Zhao?He covered most of her head with the umbrella, his left shoulder was already wet from the rain, and there was faint anger in his black eyes.

Like a child who made a mistake, Lin Ruoqing smiled and said, "I went out to watch the excitement, but I didn't expect it to rain." Zhan Zhao pursed his lips helplessly, "What's so interesting about a murder case? Seeing that you're wet and wet Like this, be careful not to catch a cold." Zhan Zhao scolded.

Lin Ruoqing stuck out her tongue secretly, but still said in disbelief: "How can I be so delicate?"

"Who looked so ugly yesterday, and it's raining again today." Zhan Zhao's voice became deeper and his complexion darkened.Lin Ruoqing shut her mouth obediently. "I'll take you back to the store to change." Zhan Zhao said. "Oh." Lin Ruoqing replied softly.

The two arrived at Daiyuan Residence all the way. Seeing that they were drenched in the rain, old man Lin rushed up to welcome them, complaining, "Oh, Ruoqing, why did you get drenched like this? You even got Mr. Zhan drenched in the rain."

Zhan Zhao smiled at old man Lin, and said, "Uncle Lin, I'm fine." Then he turned to Lin Ruoqing and said, "Hurry up and change into some dry clothes."

Lin Ruoqing nodded and walked towards the backyard. After only a few steps, she turned her head and said to Zhan Zhao, "You can't go, stay here and have lunch before leaving, or I'll go out to get in the rain."

Lin Ruoqing's almost unreasonable tone made Zhan Zhao quite embarrassed, and the old man Lin also looked at Zhan Zhao worriedly for fear that Lin Ruoqing's tone would annoy him, but Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll stay That's right."

Thoughts

Hearing what Zhan Zhao said, a smug smile appeared on Lin Ruoqing's face.Seeing that Zhan Zhao wanted to stay for dinner, old man Lin looked flattered, he picked up the umbrella by the door and muttered, "Master Zhan is here to eat, I have to go out and buy some more vegetables. "I opened the umbrella and went out.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Uncle Lin, there's no need."

"That's right, Dad, don't go out when it's raining, and eat whatever is in the kitchen." Lin Ruoqing also advised from the side.

"It's not good." Old man Lin was still hesitating.

"What's wrong? Master Zhan won't blame us. You go and see what dishes are there, pack them out first, and I'll cook them later." Lin Ruoqing glanced at Zhan Zhao with a smile while pushing old man Lin to the kitchen. : "Let Mr. Zhan try my handicraft."

The old man Lin was pushed into the kitchen, Lin Ruoqing turned around and pressed Zhan Zhao to sit on the stool, poured him a cup of tea, and smiled at him: "You sit for a while, I'll come when I go." After finishing speaking, she walked towards the backyard go.

After a while, Lin Ruoqing came out from behind the curtain, and Zhan Zhao saw that she had changed into a bright green shirt, her wet long hair was not tied up in a bun, it was tied loosely with a ribbon of the same color, and her forehead and temples were Her shattered hair clings to her face, and water drops flow down the ends of her hair, along her fair neck and into her collar, Zhan Zhao hastily looked away, only feeling that her face is faintly hot.

Because of the rain, there were only two customers in the store, Lin Ruoqing stepped forward to fill them with tea, and smiled and advised them not to wait until the rain stopped before leaving.For some reason, seeing her talking and laughing at Yan Yan like this to the guests, Zhan Zhao felt a little uncomfortable.

Lin Ruoqing walked up to Zhan Zhao, and filled him with tea. A faint fragrance with the moist smell of rain wafted over Zhan Zhao's nose, and his heart beat a few beats suddenly.Lin Ruoqing sat down opposite him, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhan Zhao coughed dryly, turned his face away, and said in a dry voice, "I was thinking that you are becoming more and more courageous, even daring to threaten the court order."

Lin Ruoqing was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then said with a shy smile, "Master Zhan, don't get angry, and the little girl will cook some delicious food to apologize to you later, okay?"

Zhan Zhao secretly sighed, he couldn't really get angry with her, he just wanted to say something, when he looked up and saw Old Man Lin coming out of the kitchen, he had to close his mouth again.

"Ruoqing, I've already packed the dishes and started the fire." Old man Lin said while wiping his hands with a sweat towel.

"Oh, then I'll cook. You talk to Mr. Zhan." Lin Ruoqing got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Old man Lin stood in front of Zhan Zhao, rubbing his hands on the sweat towel, rather cautious.Zhan Zhao raised his right hand lightly, smiled at him gently, "Old Man Lin, sit down."

Old man Lin still stood there and dared not sit down, so Zhan Zhao also stood up when he saw this, and said, "If you don't want to sit down, then Zhan can also stand with you."

"Ah? Okay, I'll sit, I'll sit." Old man Lin just sat down on the stool. He was still at a loss after sitting down. Zhan Zhao picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water, and asked politely: " Did Uncle Lin ever think about selling the store?"

Old man Lin never thought that Zhan Zhao would ask him this, he was in a daze, a little confused.
