I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Cui Tao stared at Han Zong with a slight smile in his eyes.She wasn't afraid to say this, but she was afraid that Han Zong would not be able to bear it after she used her tricks.

When Han Zong looked at Cui Tao, he still couldn't find what he wanted in her eyes. He said helplessly, "I'm kidding, you never said that to me before. I'm sorry that you really lost your memory."

Unwilling, he couldn't help but want to try her again, but the answer was still disappointing.

Seeing that Han Zong had restrained himself first, Cui Tao sighed uninterestedly, regretting that he hadn't had time to show it.However, Cui Tao wanted to know more about the situation in Changyuan County that Han Zong mentioned.

At this moment, Han Zong turned his head, smiled and asked Wang Siniang, "Would you like to take the car?"

Wang Siniang was stunned for a moment before realizing that Han Zong wanted to change rides with her. Of course she would like to sit in such a luxurious carriage, so she immediately jumped off the donkey and said to Han Zong, "But—"

Cui Tao coughed.

"Is it possible?" Wang Siniang changed her voice and quickly looked at Cui Tao obsequiously.

Cui Tao nodded, Wang Siniang happily ran to the car, and called Pinger to join her.

Ping'er hesitated for a while, then got off the donkey and followed.

"I've never ridden a donkey."

Han Zong rode on the donkey under the care of his servants.

He was wearing a navy blue brocade robe, and the shiny and luxurious fabric formed a sharp contrast with the downy gray fur of the donkey.The donkey seemed a little unhappy, shook his head, and let out an ugly howl.Han Zong reached out and touched the donkey's head, and the donkey became obedient.

The carriage turned around and turned back. Cui Tao and Han Zong followed behind the carriage on their donkeys.

"There are a few dignitaries in Bianjing who have a hobby of raising slaves in private. I heard that most of the people who come here pass through Changyuan County."

After Han Zong finished speaking, seeing Cui Tao looking at him, he hurriedly explained that he didn't have that kind of habit.

"But there are so many people with eccentricities in this world, these are actually nothing."

Hearing him mention 'eccentricities', Cui Tao couldn't help but think of his son Lu Gongbi.Three years ago, wasn't someone slandering Lu Gongbi's 'eccentricity' in front of her?

It can scare the young and ignorant her, and the fabricated 'eccentricity' probably has something to do with this category.

"Could it be that these slaves are forced to wear prison uniforms?" Cui Tao asked.

Han Zong looked at Cui Tao in surprise, "You know all this?"

Cui Tao sneered and couldn't help feeling sick.

She has traveled through too many worlds and seen too many wonderful things.Most of the time, she was calm and lost her temper, but there were always a few things that she would always resent and loathe. For example, she would never be able to bear the thing of forcing a woman to become a tool for men to vent their desires.

"If it's nothing, what are you talking about?" Cui Tao didn't like Han Zong's understatement.

Han Zong smiled softly, "There is black and there is white in this world. People can't live and die because of the existence of night just because they like the day. Whether you accept it or not, those ugly things are always there, and you alone The power is like a fly shaking a tree, and it cannot be changed at all."

"Then do you know what is the most valuable quality of a human being?"

"What?" Han Zong asked.

"Even after seeing the darkness, you will still have a heart for the light.

Those who follow the tide and are willing to degenerate are like dust and dust, falling into unknown corners so that I can't see them, but if they dirty my eyes, I will get rid of them. "

Cui Tao's tone was slow and her expression was calm. She was not impassioned when she spoke, but these two words hit Han Zong's heart hard.

Han Zong looked at Cui Tao's eyes in surprise, frowned slightly, his eyes were terribly quiet for a moment, and then a smile covered his eyes again.

"You've changed, but it's a good thing."

Cui Tao could feel the vicissitudes of Han Zong's emotion, and could hear that they should have known each other for a while in the past, and he knew her a little bit.But she didn't know what happened in detail, she always felt that Han Zong's explanations were concealed.

It is useless to think too much about things that are not clear right now. The most important thing to pay attention to is the case in Changyuan County.

"The Kaifeng government investigated the case of the ten charred corpses in Changyuan County. Many inquiries failed to find relevant clues. How did you know about the problem in Changyuan County?"

"Han Zhigui has only been in Bianjing for a long time. As for the small officials and servants in Kaifeng Mansion, how would they know the secrets of the rich and powerful?"

Han Zong told Cui Tao that he knew this, mostly because he heard gossip from his brothers at home.Their "Tongmu Han family" has taken root in Bianjing for many years, and they have made many noble children.We have played a lot together and have a better relationship, so we will hear these secrets.

"There is a woman named Meng Po in Changyuan County who specializes in this business, but this Meng Po only sees old customers or people who are recommended by old customers. No one else knows who she is."

Cui Taole stopped the donkey and looked at Han Zong seriously: "Then can you?"

Han Zong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Cui Tao: "What are you thinking? I told you earlier. I don't have this habit. Even if I really want to help you, I can't help you. But if you want to count on some honorable person with this habit, sacrifice your reputation to help you." It is also impossible to find a dream woman. Those people not only want to hide their hobby from outsiders, but also want to protect the pleasure brought by this hobby. They will not break the rules easily, and no one will.

If you go to the door without evidence, you will only offend people.The acquaintances of the rich and powerful are intertwined, if they work together to suppress a fifth-rank official, what will the result be?Even Han Zhigui was born in a family of officials and officials, but the Han family in Xiangzhou is weak after all, and now it is not as good as before. "

Cui Tao: "Now it's no match for your Tongmu Han family," but it's uncertain how the situation will develop in the future.

"I don't mean to underestimate them. Although the Tongmu Han family and the Xiangzhou Han family are two families, they have the same surname Han. If everyone can prosper together, why not? I'm just talking about the actual situation now." Han Zong explained Said, "What's more, you, Han Zhigui, are not looked down upon like that, let alone you. If you insist on investigating this case, I can help you, but you must act restrained, and after all the evidence is complete, I will help you." Take people."

Cui Tao smiled at Han Zong, thanking him for being willing to help her.

"You're welcome."

"But I can do it myself." Cui Tao didn't want to accept his favors, and he must be on guard against others.

"You don't believe me?" Han Zong was keenly aware of it.

"For me, we just met." Cui Tao said.

"This is too hurtful." Han Zong raised his head and sighed, as if he was really sad and hurt.

At this moment, Han Zong's complicated and luxurious brocade robe almost completely covered the donkey's body, causing the donkey to only show its four legs except its head.From Cui Tao's angle, the donkey's head just couldn't be seen, and it looked so much like a donkey's body with a human face, that she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Han Zong turned his head and saw Cui Tao smiling happily, a look of joy appeared on his originally sad face, "Forget it, as long as you are happy."

Cui Tao ignored Han Zong and silently pondered the case.

When approaching Yongtai Gate in Bianjing, Han Zong stopped and jumped off the donkey.

Cui Tao also felt that it was time for Han Zong to change, and he couldn't let him, an honorable son, ride a donkey into the city in full view.

"Still thinking about the case?" Han Zong asked Cui Tao after stroking the donkey's head.

Cui Tao was stunned for a moment, realizing why he didn't speak all the way back. He probably guessed that she was thinking about the case, so he didn't bother her.

Cui Tao nodded, "I thought they were being tortured in a real prison, but I didn't expect another kind of 'prison' to torture them more tragically."

Han Zong pulled out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Cui Tao.

"what?"

"I've heard of the list, but you can't act rashly, let Han Zhigui send someone to follow behind, and arrest him after you get all the evidence." Han Zong smiled slightly at Cui Tao, and made a "see you" mouth For Cui Tao, after Wang Siniang and Ping'er got off the carriage, they turned back and got on the carriage.

Cui Tao looked at the envelope in his hand, and watched Han Zong's carriage go away, until the carriage drove into the city.She immediately lowered her eyes and snorted coldly, stuffing the letter into her sleeve.

I didn't take it out a long time ago, but I took it out at this time, making it clear that I was trying to trick her.So I pretended to be a 'quiet routine' and showed him, but I wanted to see what he would do next.

Cui Tao returned to Kaifeng Mansion with the list, and told Han Qi how she met Han Zong on the road.

After reading the list, Han Qi said in a low voice, "What he said is not unreasonable, but it just happened to be at this time to find you, which is a bit intriguing."

"I think this is like his usual style of acting, and he was very intriguing when he showed up." Cui Tao pouted.

Han Qi laughed, agreeing with what Cui Tao said, then raised the list in his hand and asked Cui Tao, "Didn't you read it?"

Cui Tao froze for a moment, then nodded, "But how does Officer Han know that I haven't seen it yet?"

She immediately took it from Han Qi, and there were nine characters in three lines on the paper: Ding Wulang, Li Dalang, Lin Sanlang.

Unexpectedly, Han Zong was so rigorous in writing the list. He probably did not write all the names on purpose, but only wrote the surname and the ranking. Even if this piece of paper falls outside and gets into the hands of people who shouldn't be there, it will be clear. His handwriting can't explain anything.

But according to this surname plus ranking, it is enough to find out who the corresponding dignitaries are.Ding Wulang refers to the fifth son of the former prime minister, Li Dalang is the secretary and junior supervisor, and the last "Lin Sanlang" must be the son of the minister of punishment.

Seeing the word 'Lin Sanlang', Cui Tao understood why Han Qi thought she hadn't read it.If she had seen it, she would definitely not have the same reaction just now.

"How old is Sanlang Lin?" Cui Tao frowned.

"Fifteen years old." Han Qi said, "However, young or old is never a reason to judge a person's good or bad."

The implication is that no matter how old the bad guys are, they are bad as they should be, and they will not be transferred by the freshness or vicissitudes of their appearance.

"I know that someone who can poke at his weakness with such evil words and instigate others to commit suicide will not be a good thing."

As soon as Cui Tao came back, she came directly to Han Qi. She didn't drink water all the way. Now she felt her throat was smoky and she was too thirsty.She was about to ask Han Qi if he could drink the tea in his room, when Zhang Chang brought a cup of tea and a red-glazed teapot to her.

Cui Tao confirmed to Han Qi: "For me?"

"I don't drink this." Han Qi lowered his eyes and folded the list in half, then sent it to the oil lamp, ignited the list, and threw it into the copper basin.

Cui Tao didn't expect Han Qi to be so thoughtful, which echoed Han Zong's subconscious caution when writing the list.

The water in the white porcelain tea cup is light reddish brown, which looks like tea at first glance.Cui Tao didn't care too much, she picked it up and brought it to her mouth, only to realize that it wasn't tea at all, it didn't have any tea fragrance, but instead had a sweet and fruity fragrance, and could smell a faint ginger smell, and A little musky.Moreover, Cui Tao held the teacup for a long time before she felt that the teacup was extraordinarily cold to the touch, as if it had been chilled.

Cui Tao couldn't wait to take a sip, and suddenly felt cold teeth, and the sweet coolness instantly annihilated her smoky dry throat. Drinking a few more sips can both relieve dryness and quench thirst, but it is better than tea.

Cui Tao remembered, this is lychee ointment!

Despite the name, there is no lychee in the lychee ointment, just like there is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork.Lychee cream water is made from dark plum meat, peeled cinnamon, ginger juice, musk, sugar and cooked honey. It tastes better when it is chilled and chilled. The effect.

After Cui Tao drank two cups of tea, she no longer felt thirsty, and she continued to drink, purely because she felt addicted to the delicious taste, anyway, she would not stop until she drank up the pot.

"It's from Qin You." Han Qi waited for her to finish drinking before putting the file in hand on the table.

Cui Tao remembered that before she went to Changyuan County, she asked Li Cai to ask someone to inquire about Qin You's case, but she didn't expect this guy to be quite capable, and actually asked someone to entrust someone to Han Qi.

Cui Tao took out the file and looked at it, her originally relaxed face gradually turned serious.Judging from all the contents in the case file, there is nothing wrong with Qin You's case, no matter in terms of witnesses, evidence or testimony.If you insist on saying that there is grievance in this case, there is only one possibility, the person who called for injustice is lying.This result was actually exactly what Cui Tao vaguely expected when he met Qin Wan'er's mother, Qian Shi, but Cui Tao actually didn't want to see this result.

This truth makes Wanzhong's suicide look like a meaningless joke.He sacrificed his life just to clear the case for Qin Wan'er's father, but in fact this 'grievance' does not exist.

However, it cannot be blamed on Qin Wan'er's fault in this matter. Qin Wan'er didn't know that her father was really guilty. She just believed her mother's claim. Out of her daughter's love for her father, she chose to believe in her father's 'innocence'.

As for Mrs. Qian, she lied and spread rumors that Qin Wan'er's father was wronged, probably in order to excuse her with a few words, so that her daughter would not be particularly embarrassed to wear the hat of a prisoner's daughter.Besides, their mother and daughter had a difficult life because they were driven away from their hometown, and they moved to a new place, probably because they wanted to maintain a little bit of dignity in front of people.Who can say that doing so is sinful?Is it vicious?Is it a serious disease?

"I don't like this kind of case." Cui Tao put the case file back on the table and sighed softly.

"There are so many black and white things in this world." Han Qi replied.

"It's black and white again." Today she has heard some "black and white theory" from a person surnamed Han. As expected, the two have the same surname, and they have similar ideas by accident.

Cui Tao waved her hand to say goodbye to Han Qi, shouting that she was tired and wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

Han Qi originally wanted to ask Cui Tao about Changyuan County, but seeing her like this, he didn't say much and let her go.Afterwards, he arranged for people to secretly monitor the three people on the list, hoping to find clues by chance.

At dusk, it was rare for Han Qi to leave the shift on time and left Kaifeng Mansion.But he never thought that when he arrived home, Lu Gongbi stopped him and asked him about Han Zhongwen.

"Why don't you ask him yourself." After taking a sip of tea, Han Qi suddenly felt that it was not enough to quench his thirst, so he ordered Zhang Chang to bring him a cup of lychee ointment water as well.

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhang Chang's eyes, but he didn't dare to show any signs of it, so he hurriedly followed the instructions.

"I came to look for you after asking him." Lu Gongbi said.

Han Qi took a sip of the lychee ointment, and then raised his eyes to look at Lu Gongbi.

Lu Gongbi: "He said it had nothing to do with me, and told me not to think too much about it."

Maybe he didn't think too much, but Han Zong specially emphasized "don't think too much", who would not think too much after hearing it?

"It's hard to tell the real from the fake, it's better not to tell." Han Qi said.

"Just let him go?" Lu Gongbi thought that he could hold his temper, but in Han Qi's place, he seemed to be insignificant.It turns out that compared with Han Qi, his 'concentration' is nothing.Or maybe it was because he was deeply involved in it, and Han Qi was out of it, that's why he was so calm.

Han Qi said: "Now I only believe in what I see, what I see is true, and what I hear is false." He only saw that Cui Tao's nature is not bad now, he has a rough heart, and he has supernatural talents.

Lu Gongbi stopped arguing with Han Qi about this, and indeed, as Han Qi said, only those who knew about Cui Tao's past knew about Cui Tao's past, and she herself had lost her memory and didn't know.Now if they don't believe in Han Zong's words, then they can only believe in what they see in front of them, and speculating for no reason is doing useless work.

"Then did you ever learn from Han Zong why she has so many abilities now? How did she learn so many things in the past three years?"

Han Qi shook his head, but felt that he could verify this point with Han Zong.

Seeing that Han Qi had this intention, Lu Gongbi immediately asked him to go with him.Two against one, there is no harm.

An hour later, Guangxian Tower.

Han Zong was still wearing the dark blue brocade robe he wore during the day, and riding a donkey in the dusty road, the clothes were inevitably dusty and dirty, but Han Zong didn't change them.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Han Qi sitting by the window, drinking something from a teacup, and he was very quiet.Lu Gongbi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, seemingly calm, but looking at his clenched hands behind his back, he knew how restless he was.

"You two, Yaxing, have you invited me here in such a hurry to watch women's sumo wrestling?" Han Zong also walked to the window, and then looked outside at the sumo ring, which was in full swing, "It's not that bad, but Xiao Liuniang is the best .”

Xiao Liuniang!When Lu Gongbi heard Han Zong's words, his heart skipped a beat.The last time Cui Tao was watching women's sumo wrestling with the official family, it was Xiao Liuniang who Cui Tao had always supported.

coincide?Han Zong happened to have the same vision as Cui Tao?Or was it about that day that he had already found out the details?But no matter which one it belongs to, one thing is certain, this guy is deliberately talking like this to stimulate him.

Lu Gongbi stared at Han Zong unkindly.

Han Zong, on the other hand, had a smile on his face and had been paying attention to the battle situation in the arena all the time.

Han Qi bought himself another cup of lychee ointment.

"When you arranged for her to live in Dengzhou, did you send someone to teach her medical skills, Feng Shui, etc.?" Lu Gongbi tried his best to calm down and asked the important things first.

Han Zong turned his head when he heard the words, smiled and shook his head with Lu Gongbi.

"I didn't arrange it, but she loves reading very much, so I asked someone to find all interesting books for her to read. She has always been extremely intelligent. Impossible."

Han Zong's words sounded like an explanation at first glance, but Lu Gongbi could hear Han Zong's show off.He was expressing that he knew her well, and affirmed him, praised her, and even asked someone to collect 'all interesting books' for her just to spoil her.

Lu Gongbi clenched his molars, and the fire in his heart almost burst out.

At this moment, Han Zong looked at Han Qi with a smile, and asked, "Am I right? Brother Zhigui is her superior now, so he must know her intelligence very well."

"En." Han Qi responded lightly.

"It's hard for you, I came here specially for the two of us." Han Zong knew that Han Qi didn't like to participate in this kind of entertainment.

"No problem." After drinking the tea cup, Han Qi dusted off his robe and got up, saying goodbye to the two of them.

Han Zong looked at Han Qi's leaving back, clicked his tongue twice, and complained to Lu Gongbi: "Look at him, just said 'no problem', and got up and left the next moment. In terms of words and deeds, he Han Zhigui is the number one .”

"I think his words are consistent with his deeds. He agreed to make a special trip because he really felt 'no problem'. He must leave now because someone's words are too boring." Lu Gongbi sneered and gave Han another look. In summary, he felt that there was no need for him to stay any longer, so he turned around and followed.

"Hey, they're all gone? But you invited me here, and you turned around and left me here."

Looking at Lu Gongbi's back, Han Zong deliberately complained.After confirming that the others had left, Han Zong's face was as cold as ice.He lifted up his robe, sat down, raised his head high, and stared at the ring downstairs with half-opened eyes.

"Too boring, they are not suitable for sumo."

"Yes." The attendant hurriedly agreed, and hurried on.

Not long after, there were two stronger women in the arena, and they attacked each other very fiercely, which aroused the emotions of the people watching the excitement in the arena, shouting and booing, and then more and more When people gathered, the venue was several times more lively than before.

Han Zong no longer looked at the ring, and lowered his eyes to fiddle with the butterfly flower hairpin in his hand.The butterfly eye of this hairpin head is ruby, and there is a circle of small pearls on the edge of the wings. The peach blossoms dropped by the butterfly are made of light pink hibiscus jade. There is absolutely no second identical hairpin in the world.

Han Zong stroked the pink peach blossom on the head of the hairpin with his index finger, and then froze. After a while, he carefully put the hairpin into his sleeve pocket.When he left Guangxian Tower, there were obvious traces of redness in his eye sockets, but it was quickly covered by the bright smile on his face.

……

Cui Tao made black sesame dumplings for supper in the evening. If we say that the most classic stuffing in yuanxiao is black sesame.The stuffing is ready, sweet and glutinous, so fragrant that people want to cry.If it's not good, it's just plain, old-fashioned Lantern Festival, which is not interesting to eat.

Cui Tao uses freshly ground glutinous rice noodles from a small stone mill in her kitchen, and bakes them by hand with large grains of black sesame seeds harvested that year.This heat must be mastered well, the state of just fragrant and ripe is the best, if it is overheated, it will have a bitter smell when it is finely tasted.

Grind the roasted black sesame seeds into powder, mix them with appropriate amount of sugar and oil, mix them well, wrap them in the glutinous rice skin, put them into the boiling water in the pot and boil them, gently turn them with a wooden spoon, and wait When the white glutinous Lantern Festival floats to the surface, boil it for a while, then take it out and eat it.

The glutinous rice noodles made of water have a unique and strong glutinous rice aroma. The sesame aroma emitted by the black sesame filling during the boiling process is wrapped in the Yuanxiao skin. Once you bite off the soft, white and glutinous Yuanxiao skin, the fragrant paste The black sesame filling flows out, fragrant and sweet, and the amount of sugar is just enough to set off the aroma of sesame seeds, not too sweet to suppress the taste.

Taking a bite of this Lantern Festival is like lying on the clouds, among the green forests and bamboo streams in the deep mountains, enjoying all the original natural beauty.

"Well—it's so delicious!" The Lantern Festival was still a little hot just after serving it, but Wang Siniang couldn't bear it any longer, she squatted under the kitchen window with a bowl in her hand, trying to bite into the mouth of the Lantern Festival while sucking in her breath.

Ping'er scooped out a Lantern Festival with a spoon, put it in her mouth, and blew it. After blowing for a long time, she suddenly fell into a trance, staring at the white Lantern Festival in a daze.

Wang Siniang had already finished her own bowl, seeing Ping'er not moving, she thought she didn't like to eat, "Then I'll help you eat!"

Ping'er suddenly came back to her senses, and quickly turned her back to protect her bowl.

"Then what do you think if you don't eat?" Wang Siniang asked.

"Just... the person I met today." Ping'er lowered her eyes, silently opened her mouth and swallowed half a Yuanxiao, then her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

"It's delicious. You don't eat it, but you are thinking about men. Tell me about you, why are you so ambitious? Can't you see who people like? Have you eaten bear heart and leopard guts? What about Han Erlang's background? , better than this Korean official from Kaifeng Mansion." Wang Siniang scolded her for wishful thinking.

"But when I think about him, my heart beats so fast. The moment I saw him, I finally understood how you couldn't control your eyes and wanted to see Han Tuiguan." Ping'er murmured softly.

"I just looked at it, can you do the same, you have an idea!"

"Do you have an idea after reading it? Why watch it if you don't have an idea?" Ping'er retorted and asked.

"This..." This time, Wang Siniang was refuted to the point of being speechless.

After thinking about it, she also somewhat understood why Ping'er fell in love with him.That Han Zong is really good-looking, rich and good background is also attractive, and he likes to laugh so much, he feels kind when he looks at it, and people can't help but like him.

Immediately Wang Siniang murmured a few words to Ping'er, nothing more than to persuade her to restrain herself, and not to show it if she likes it, it's best to hide it, but don't let Mrs. Cui know, or it will be embarrassing.

"Can't hide."

Ping'er swallowed another Lantern Festival, then glanced at Cui Tao who was holding the Lantern Festival with a wooden spoon.Cui Tao is trying to distribute some Lantern Festival to Wang Zhao and others.

"What should I do?" Ping'er looked at Wang Siniang, her cheeks were still slightly red.

Wang Siniang finally understood that Ping'er's so-called "can't hide", she really couldn't hide, just mentioning Han Zong, she actually blushed like this!

"What can I do, ask for blessings, go and confess." Wang Siniang patted her legs, got up, and ran to Cui Tao to ask for a bowl full of Yuanxiao.

After Ping'er finished eating the Lantern Festival in her mouth, she first accompanied Cui Tao and Wang Siniang to bring the Lantern Festival to Wang Zhao and the others.

Wang Zhao and others had just rushed back to Kaifeng Mansion from Changyuan County. They were so busy running around all day that they didn't even have time to eat.Before the Lantern Festival arrived, they smelled the scent with their dog noses. When they saw Cui Tao carrying the Lantern Festival, they all went crazy. When they got up, they sighed and thanked Cui Tao one after another.

"Remember to bring the bowl back after eating." Cui Tao smiled and instructed, and took Wang Siniang and Ping'er back.

On the way, Ping'er hesitated for a while, and finally stopped Cui Tao, and confessed her 'situation' to her.

Wang Siniang immediately dodged to the wall, grabbed the leaves and watched the excitement, thinking that there might be a good show to watch.

"That's it?" Cui Tao laughed, "I've already seen it, it's up to you."

Ping'er was stunned, and apologized to Cui Tao again and again: "I know that Han Erlang likes Mrs. Cui, but I just can't control myself, but I will never do anything!"

"The heart is your own. As long as it doesn't break the law, doesn't harm others, doesn't violate morality, and is upright, it can please whoever it wants. What do you have to apologize for?" Cui Tao smiled and walked back indifferently. .

In order to prepare for the play, Wang Siniang took a lot of painstaking efforts to pinch a handful of leaves, and wanted to wait for a while when Cui Tao scolded Pinger, and sprinkled a handful of leaves herself to match Pinger's crying.Wang Siniang vaguely remembered what kind of poem she had heard, its name and who wrote it. She couldn't remember it, but only remembered two lines in it called "Falling leaves don't rest, tears stain each clothes".That's why she felt that when Ping'er was mourning and crying, she must be more suitable for Luoye.

Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief because her knot was cleared, she was very happy at the moment, and ran to Wang Siniang happily, and took her arm to thank her.Thanks to Wang Siniang's idea, she confessed to Cui Tao, and the result was really good.

Wang Siniang regretfully dropped the leaf in her hand, and snorted twice, "I advise you not to be stupid, I look at that Han Zhongwen coldly, and it is unlikely that I will see you in my life."

"Why do you say that?" Of course Ping'er knew it was impossible, but Wang Siniang still wanted to ask why.

"I'd rather trade a donkey with me than you." Wang Siniang was big-hearted, but she wasn't stupid, and her eyes were good.

Ping'er thought about it, pursed her lips, and walked away unhappy.

Seeing that Pinger was unhappy, Wang Siniang was so happy that she went to Cui Tao to ask Cui Tao what to eat tomorrow so that she could prepare the ingredients in advance.

……

At noon the next day, news came from the people in Changyuan County who arranged to monitor the Zhu brothers. Zhu Daniu went to the Changyuan County Government Office at midnight yesterday, entered through the back door, and stayed for about half an hour before sneaking out. , Turn back and go home.

"It's only because of a guilty conscience that I choose to act in the middle of the night. It seems that the magistrate of Changyuan County may not be clean."

If he didn't know the boss of the yamen, how dare Zhu Daniu run to the county yamen in the middle of the night?

Tracing back to the initial circumstances of the case, the magistrate of Changyuan County led the people to put out the fire, found ten charred corpses, and handed over the case to Kaifeng Prefecture.Cui Tao had been to the scene of the fire, because the ten charred corpses were burning in a ditch surrounded by grass and shrubs, so the fire did not spread widely, and it was easy to extinguish.If it is not in that place, just choose a mountain to burn at random, the mountain fire will inevitably spread, and it will be difficult to extinguish it.

Cui Tao decided to go to the scene of the cremation again, and Han Qi decided to go with Cui Tao.

While chatting on the road, Han Qi casually told about his meeting with Lu Gongbi and Han Zong yesterday.

When Cui Tao heard that Lu Gongbi was asking why she had so many things, she became vigilant, but her eyes pretended to be curious and knew the answer, and asked Han Qi, "Did you find anything?"

"I got angry after asking." Han Qi told Cui Tao what Han Zong had said.

Cui Tao could naturally imagine how angry Lu Gongbi would be at that time.She couldn't help laughing twice, but felt that it might not be a bad thing for these two men to fight each other.

Lu Gongbi was distracted from paying attention to him all the time, while Han Zong stirred up the muddy water, using her as an excuse of being "extremely intelligent and reading a lot" and unintentionally helping her explain the weirdness of "why she has so many abilities" .Of course, this explanation is not comprehensive enough, but if someone speaks out for her, it can more or less dispel other people's doubts.In addition, she has lost her memory again, and everyone can only believe this for the time being, there is no other way.

After the two arrived at the scene of the cremation, Cui Tao stood by the side of the road and surveyed the surrounding environment.

The ravine where the corpses were cremated was still some distance away from the roadside. Although the ravine was on fire and a lot of vegetation was burned, there were still some trees and tall grass on the periphery of the fire site. These grasses grew very high, probably reaching the waist of a person.Because the villagers fought the fire, the grass was trampled to the ground.

The valley is suddenly sunken by a fissure, and there is a gentle upward slope on the other side of the valley.According to the growth state of the surrounding plants, the grassland at the burning site should have grown very tall.Looking from the side of the official road, it is impossible to find a ditch hidden in the dense tall grass.So the murderer is likely to be familiar with the mountain conditions here and know the location of the ditch.Genghe may know that after the fire, the location is just so that it can be seen from the watchtower in Changyuan County.

"Could it be that this case of burning corpses was deliberately done to attract attention?" Cui Tao suddenly had this idea.

Han Qi was puzzled and asked her: "Why do you have such an inference?"

"The location of the cremation is too coincidental. It can be seen, and the fire is not too large to cause the entire mountain forest to burn. If it is another mountain, the mountain fire will be difficult to extinguish if it really burns, and it will be destroyed." Completely burn these charred corpses."

Han Qi nodded, agreeing with the possibility of Cui Tao's deduction.

"Finding ten charred corpses at once, the Changyuan county government will definitely not be able to handle such a nasty case. Someone brought the corpses here and deliberately burned them, hoping that everyone would discover these corpses, which would cause a sensation and attract the attention of the Kaifeng government. "Cui Tao concluded, "That is to say, there may be a traitor under the command of that dream woman. This person probably couldn't bear the cruel torture or even killing of these girls, and because of his own safety, he didn't dare to report directly to the officials, so Figured out this trick."

Before Cui Tao finished speaking, Han Qi called Wang Zhao to go to Changyuan County immediately, and hurriedly took Zhu Dazhuang and Zhu Erniu into protective custody.

After two sticks of incense, when Cui Tao and Han Qi arrived in front of Zhu's house, Wang Zhao was running out of the house in a hurry.

Wang Zhao reported back to Han Qi and Cui Tao with a bad face: "Zhu Daniu is dead, and Zhu Erniu is missing."
