Thousands of years

Hesitating, Lin Ruoqing couldn't wait to rush over to help, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to hold her, and nodded helplessly.

The next thing was unprecedented in front of the small Daiyuanju. People learned that Mr. Zhan Zhaozhan of Kaifeng Mansion came to sell dim sum in person, and rushed to buy dim sum, so it was no problem to deal with bullies, bandits, swords, guns and arrows. Xia Zhanzhao, this time, was sweating profusely in a hurry, while Lin Ruoqing was on the sidelines, drinking tea and looking at the ledger, leisurely and nervously.

It wasn't until today's snacks in the store were all sold out that the shopkeepers and clerks in Zhan Zhaohe's store breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Ruoqing also closed the account book at this moment, and said in a timely manner: "I have read the account book, very good." " Going forward, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Zhan Zhao's forehead, took Zhan Zhao's arm and said with a smile, "Sister, let's go." After speaking, he walked outside the shop.Only shopkeeper Su and the two shop assistants were left staring at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After going out to live together, the two bought some gifts and came to Old Man Lin's house. They had a meal with Old Man Lin and chatted with him. Until now, Old Man Lin never believed that Mr. Zhan from Kaifeng Mansion would be his son-in-law. , when facing Zhan Zhao, he was still a bit cautious, even though the two of them were able to go home to visit him, the old man was still happy from ear to ear.

After leaving Old Man Lin's house, it was already afternoon, and the sun was no longer so vicious.The two of them walked along the way, Lin Ruoqing was there nagging and calculating how much money they could earn by the end of the year, Zhan Zhao never said a word, then Lin Ruoqing closed her mouth and tilted her head to look at him for a long time, seeing that he still didn't move. Talking, I finally couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Master Zhan feels wronged by selling dim sum?"

"No." Zhan Zhao replied lightly.

"You still say no? You're obviously not happy." Lin Ruoqing said, shaking his arm.

Zhan Zhao stopped, freed his arm from her, and said calmly, "Yeah, I'm upset, how does the lady plan to make up for her husband?"

Lin Ruoqing rolled her eyes and said, "How about making you your favorite sweet and sour fish tonight?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward, "Don't go, how about another braised pork ribs?" Lin Ruoqing chased after her.The sun gradually moved west, shining on the two people, coating them with a layer of golden halo, and gradually pulling the shadows of the two people closer...

After Zhan Zhao left, Lin Ruoqing just remembered that she came to give Zhan Zhao a peace talisman, and now that the peace talisman was not delivered, but there was such a fuss, and now she was too embarrassed to stay in Kaifeng mansion, so she asked Mr. Gongsun for a prescription , bid farewell and left.

Zhan Zhao rode his horse to Yingchang Mansion in his official uniform, and arrived at Yingchang Mansion in the early morning of the third day. The magistrate Wang led Zhan Zhao to the jewelry store where the glazed cup was found, and only after questioning did he learn about the glazed cup A few days ago, a young man surnamed Jiang sold it here for 200 taels of silver. When asked about the whereabouts of the man, the shopkeeper didn't know anything.In desperation, Zhan Zhao could only ask about the person's appearance, and told Mr. Wang to ask him to pay attention to the whereabouts of the person, while he took the glass lamp and rushed all the way back to Kaifeng Mansion.

The weather was hot at noon, and Zhan Zhao was a little thirsty from the journey. He saw a tea shed not far away, so he tied his horse to a nearby tree.Stepping over to the tea shed, she sat down in a vacant seat with her robe pulled up, and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a young man in a blue silk shirt waving a folding fan and was about to enter the tea shed from the corner of her eye. His face changed, he turned and ran away.

With a thought in Zhan Zhao's mind, he picked up the giant que on the table and quickly ran after the man. The giant que was in front of him. Seeing this, the man turned sideways and ran aside. Zhan Zhao smiled contemptuously and kicked him in the back. , the man staggered forward, Zhan Zhao stepped forward and put Ju Que on his waist, and when the man stood still, Ju Que lay across the man's neck.

"Murder, murder. Officials killed." The man suddenly opened his throat and shouted.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, glanced at him sharply, and pulled out the sheath half an inch with his hand, the man felt a pain in his neck, and immediately shut up.

"Is your surname Jiang?" Zhan Zhao asked in a deep voice.

The man dodged his eyes, and said in a faltering way: "My surname is not Jiang."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued to ask, "Then why did you run away when you saw the official?"

The man continued to insist: "How did I run? I didn't run."

Seeing him like that, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but sneered and said, "Stop pretending, tell me honestly where did you come from, Liulizhan?"

"Ah? What glass cup?" The man asked in a daze.

Seeing that the man's expression did not seem to be fake, Zhan Zhao continued, "It's the glazed cup you sold to the jewelry store in Yingchang Mansion."

"Oh, that thing, I don't know what it's called, I just know that it was sold to me by a seriously injured man half a month ago. The man was eager to use the money to see a doctor, so he sold it for 50 taels of silver. I, I didn't expect that thing to be quite valuable, and I sold it for a good price of 200 taels of silver." Seeing that he only asked about this matter, the man relaxed a lot.

Zhan Zhao withdrew the giant que, took a deep look at him, and said, "I'm going to Kaifeng Mansion Zhan Zhao, please follow Zhan to Kaifeng Mansion."

The man was taken aback, opened his mouth to say something more, looked at the giant que in Zhan Zhao's hand, and swallowed the words back abruptly, forget it, just go out today and don't look at the almanac, it's bad luck .So he nodded and followed Zhan Zhao to Kaifeng mansion.

Zhan Zhao hurried all the way back to Kaifeng mansion, and once he got back to Kaifeng mansion, he took the man to Mr. Bao's study room. Before Bao Zheng could interrogate him, the man told about his life experience and how he got the glazed cup one by one. Explained clearly.

It turned out that this person's name was Jiang Cheng, and he was a gangster addicted to gambling on weekdays.Half a month ago, Jiang Cheng, who had won a large sum of silver in a gambling shop in the capital, met a seriously injured man who had no money to treat his illness, so he sold the glazed lamp to him for 50 taels of silver. He saw that it was profitable, so he bought it, and he didn't sell it until a few days ago when he couldn't turn over his hands and he fell into a gambling addiction again. Who would have thought that he was often arrested for gambling and fighting, so when he saw the The middleman ran away, so he caught Zhan Zhao's attention and was taken back to Kaifeng Mansion.

"Then do you still remember the appearance of that person? Where did that person go afterwards?" Bao Zheng listened to Jiang Cheng's words, pondered for a while, and twisted his beard.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while, and described the person's appearance in detail, and Gongsun Ce drew a picture of the person's appearance according to what he said, and showed it to him. After Jiang Cheng looked at it, he nodded and praised that it was this person. Where that person went after that, he had no idea.Seeing that he couldn't find anything to ask, Bao Zheng let him go back. Jiang Cheng didn't seem to expect to leave so easily, so he was very grateful.

After Jiang Cheng left, Zhan Zhao took out the glass cup and handed it to Bao Zheng.The three of them discussed and felt that this matter was related to the Ding family, and it was necessary to call the Ding brothers, which might be beneficial to solve the case, so Bao Zheng ordered people to go to the inn to invite the Ding brothers to come.

After about a stick of incense, only Ding Zhaolan came. After he greeted the crowd, he saw the doubts on the faces of the crowd, and said with a little embarrassment: "My brother is reckless, I have to go to the Minglan sect to ask for clarification. I got into a fight with them, got hurt and couldn't come, I'm really sorry."

"Oh? Is Ding Erxia seriously injured?" Hearing this, Bao Zheng asked with concern.

"Lord Meng Bao is concerned, it's just a minor injury." Ding Zhaolan hurriedly clasped his fists politely, the corner of his eyes glanced at the glazed cup on the table, and said pleasantly, "Have you found the glazed cup?"

"That's right, the Zhan guards went to Yingchang Mansion to find it." Bao Zheng said as he picked up the glazed cup and handed it to Ding Zhaolan: "Ding Shaoxia, take a look, is this the glazed cup of your Ding family?"

Ding Zhaolan took the glazed cup carefully, inspected it carefully, nodded firmly and said with a smile: "It is indeed the glazed cup lost by my Ding family. Thank you Master Bao for finding the treasure for my Ding family."

Bao Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Ding Shaoxia, if you want to thank you, you should thank Zhan's guards."

The smile on Ding Zhaolan's face was a little stiff, he turned around and cupped his hands towards Zhan Zhao, without looking at him, he said stiffly, "Thank you, Xiong Fei."

Zhan Zhao knew that it was because of Ding Yuehua that he had a grudge against him, so he didn't care, he just smiled lightly and said, "You and I have known each other for many years, Brother Ding, you are being polite."

Seeing that it was meaningless to stay, Ding Zhaolan was about to say goodbye when Bao Zheng called him back, and he picked up the portrait on the table and asked, "Ding Shaoxia, do you know this person?"

Ding Zhaolan picked up the portrait and looked at it carefully for a long while before saying, "This man looks so familiar, he looks like a servant who was expelled from the house by my Ding family five years ago."

"Oh? Really?" Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

When Bao Zheng asked such a question, Ding Zhaolan hesitated again, and he pondered: "Why don't you ask sister She to come and recognize her?"

Bao Zheng nodded, and ordered people to invite Ding Yuehua.Not long after, Ding Yuehua came to the study room, and saw that she greeted Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce generously, then smiled and nodded to Zhan Zhao who was beside her, and Zhan Zhao also nodded in return.

"Miss Ding, do you know the person in this painting?" Gongsun Ce handed her the painting.

Ding Yuehua lowered his eyes for a while, then tilted his head and tried to search for the person in the painting in his mind, "Yuehua, is this person Fang Ming who broke the glass cup and was kicked out of the house by his mother?"

"That's right. I remember my mother beat him twenty times." Ding Yuehua suddenly realized.

"Since the glazed cup has been broken, what about this one?" Bao Zheng asked suspiciously.

"Lord Bao, this glazed cup was originally a pair. It was given to my mother by a wandering monk. Although it is not very expensive, it is a pair. My mother has always liked it very much. Unexpectedly, Fang Ming broke it clumsily. At that time, my mother was very angry, so she beat him twenty big boards and kicked him out of the house.
