Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

Bao Gong was puzzled when he heard this, he pondered for a while, and asked again: "Since your master is related to Liu Yuanwai, if you want to come and go, you can't avoid it?"

"How do you know, my lord, that Liu Hong is extremely stubborn, let alone someone else, even the remarried Mrs. Feng did not allow my little master to meet." Yu Mo hurriedly said, "My master and servant lived there for four or five years. Today, I live in the garden study. All the meals and tea are brought in by the villain, and no one is sent to serve, which is very unlike the principle of bringing relatives. There is not even a bit of meat in the dishes." He said very indignant.

Bao Gong asked again: "Do you know how many girls there are besides Xiuhong?"

"I heard that Miss is just such a maid, and there is a nurse named Tian. This nurse is a good person." Yu Mo replied cautiously.

Bao Gong hurriedly asked: "How can you see?"

"When the villain went in to fetch tea and rice, she said to the villain: 'The courtyard is empty, you master and servants should be careful when living there, lest something unexpected happen. According to me, you should leave after a day or two. This place is good.' If you don’t want to, it’s going to happen.” Yu Mo said with concern.

Bao Gong secretly set off in his heart, he was afraid that the nurse Tian knew something inside.He then ordered Yu Mo to be taken down first, and then immediately ordered the guards to send Liu Hong and his wet nurse Tian to separate confessions.He also ordered Tiyan Chasan, Xiangfu County, to go to the government for a hearing.

Xiangfu County is quite a distance away from Fengfu, and it will take three or four hours to go back and forth.Bao Gong withdrew temporarily and called Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce into the back office to discuss the matter.

Gongsun Ce first said: "My lord, from the student's point of view, this case may not be as simple as it seems." He had already heard Zhan Zhao talk about Bai Yutang's gift of a knife, "The Chinchilla Baiyu Tang left the words 'Yan Cha San Yuan', probably because of his personal relationship with Yan Cha San."

"Well," Bao Gong nodded, and then asked Zhan Zhao, "Guard Zhan knows what Chinchilla Bai Yutang is like."

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, then replied: "This subordinate has only met Bai Yutang a few times. I dare not make any judgments about how he is. I have only fought against him twice, and my subordinate thinks that although he strikes fiercely, he is upright. Guangming is not like those despicable and cunning people."

"That being said," Gongsun Ce hesitated, "I'm afraid that Bai Yutang's words can't be trusted. The student feels that we should listen to the testimony of Liu Hong and Tian before making a decision on the facts of this case."

"This government also has the same intention." Bao Gong nodded, then looked at Zhan Zhao, "I don't know if the guard Zhan has any opinions on this case?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and then replied: "If Yan Chasan is really wronged, why would he insist in court that he killed the servant girl Xiuhong? If he can figure this out, I'm afraid the case will become clear." many."

Bao Gong nodded slightly: "This statement is reasonable. I'm afraid it will take a few hours before Liu Hong and Tian's arrest. You two go to rest first. It is hard work for you to follow this residence."

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and left the back office after resigning with Bao Gongbao.Zhan Zhao wanted to look for A Lan first, so he went to the back kitchen first, but was told by Aunt Qi that A Lan had gone to the Yamen Gate to watch the trial and hadn't returned yet.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help being slightly worried—it's been a while since he left the class, and he should have returned long ago.He immediately turned around and walked outside the yamen, but he bumped into Ah Lan as soon as he passed the garden.

A Lan did go to the yamen gate with a few small handymen to watch Bao Gong's trial before.It's just that she is short and small, and she can't squeeze through the Kaifeng people who are particularly enthusiastic about Bao Qingtian's trial. Standing at the back, she can't even stand on tiptoe to see what's going on in the courtroom.She had no choice but to prick up her ears to listen to what the child who was blocking the sedan chair and shouting for grievances said. She was listening intently, but when she occasionally turned her head, she couldn't help being startled.

——There was another person standing behind the crowd with her.This person neither stretched his neck to watch the commotion, nor tilted his head to listen carefully, as if he was indifferent to the situation in the courtroom.It's just that he was still standing outside the courtroom, his white clothes were out of tune with the surrounding scenery, as if a pearl had been mixed in the sand.

"Fifth Master Bai?" Ah Lan couldn't help but uttered in surprise. Although she had only seen him last night, seeing Bai Yutang in this kind of place still gave her a strange feeling.

Hearing the sound, Bai Yutang only glanced at her lightly, probably recognizing that Alan was the girl who followed Zhan Zhao last night, so he hummed softly to show that he heard it.

"You..." Ah Lan remembered the matter of keeping the knife, looked at the court again, and couldn't help wondering, "Why are you here?"

Bai Yutang said nonchalantly: "Why, is this the boss of your family? Fifth Master still can't stand up?"

"No." Ah Lan choked, "It's just what are you doing here?" Bai Yutang didn't look like someone who would be interested in the trial of the Yamen, and his attitude confirmed this point .

"What are you doing here?" Bai Yutang asked back.

Alan said in a nasty voice: "I heard people say that someone stopped the sedan chair and complained about injustice, so let's take a look."

"Both each other." Bai Yutang replied with a half-smile.

A Lan felt that what Bai Yutang said was not the truth, but that he was dealing with himself.She sighed silently, and continued to prick up her ears to listen to the trial in the yamen.Just when Yu Mo mentioned that Yan Chasan confessed to murder without saying a word in the court, A Lan couldn't help being surprised: "This man is really, if he didn't kill him, why should he admit it? If he really killed him , Why come to cry for injustice again? It's really strange."

She was originally talking to herself, but Bai Yutang who was not far away heard it clearly and couldn't help but snorted coldly.Alan couldn't help turning her head to look at Bai Yutang. The other person's expression made her think that Bai Yutang was on Yan Chasan's side.

So, could it be that Bai Yutang trespassed on the Kaifeng mansion last night because of Yan Chasan, and stood outside the court today to hear the trial?

Alan was frowning and thinking, when there was a sudden noise in the courtroom, it turned out that he had already withdrawn from the courtroom.The crowd was crowded, and A Lan hurriedly stood aside, fearing that he would be knocked down by the people who had watched the excitement.The crowd was bustling, and it took a cup of tea to completely disperse.And when Alan raised her eyes again, Bai Yutang had long since disappeared. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and searched around for a while, but she couldn't see Bai Yutang's person anywhere.

Looking around again, A Lan confirmed that Bai Yutang had already run away without saying hello before heading to the mansion.The little handymen who came with her before have already gone back, and she also quickened her pace to go to the back kitchen, but just passed the garden and ran into Zhan Zhao head-on.

"Ah, big brother." A Lan hurriedly stood still, feeling a surge of joy in her heart.

Zhan Zhao quickly glanced at A Lan up and down to confirm that he was not injured or sick, and then said slowly, "Why did you come back so soon."

"The gate of the yamen was too crowded just now, so I waited for everyone to leave before going back." Alan replied, and then asked excitedly, "Brother, why are you here?"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly: "Come and see how you are. Just now Aunt Qi said that you are very lively at the gate of the yamen. Why, are you interested in this?" This is not like a girl's house, but Zhan Zhao is not surprised , because Alan has always been special.

Ala replied: "Well, I just heard from the people in the kitchen that Bai Yutang left a knife in Mrs. Bao's room last night." She couldn't help asking curiously, "Why did he keep it?" Putting a knife in Mr. Bao's room, could it be that you are threatening Mr. Bao?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, and said softly, "Not only did he keep the knife, but there was also a note under the knife, which read the words 'Yan Cha San Yuan'."

"Oh!" Ah Lan suddenly realized, "No wonder, I saw Bai Wuye at the gate of the yamen just now, no wonder he is interested in the government trial. Is this Yan Chasan his friend?"

Zhan Zhao replied: "It's not clear yet, we have to wait until all the people involved with the case arrive to make a conclusion." He then asked, "Did you see Bai Yutang just now?"

"Well, it's at the gate of the yamen." Alan said, "but he didn't say anything." At least he didn't say anything meaningful.

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Don't talk to him too much, Bai Yutang has a weird temper, and he doesn't know what to say to make him anxious. If it doesn't work out with you, you will suffer."

Alan nodded again and again, and said: "I have to go back to the kitchen quickly, Aunt Qi is waiting for me." After speaking, she ran away.

"Well, don't be tired." Zhan Zhao looked at A Lan's back and raised a command, and the latter agreed from afar.

After running all the way to the back kitchen, Aunt Qi happened to come out with a food box. Seeing Alan, she hurriedly said, "Alan, you came just in time. I heard from the boys that there was a child blocking the sedan chair today and calling for injustice. It's being closed in the side room of the back office for a while. His children's family is also pitiful, and they don't have to eat at noon. If you are young, don't shy away from it. Help me send this food box to him, so that the children don't starve. "

"Okay." Alan took the food box without saying a word, and then said with a smile, "Aunt Qi, you are so careful."

"Go quickly." Aunt Qi narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Slow down and don't fall."

"Got it." Alan turned around and walked towards the back office. At noon, the office staff went to the canteen to eat, and there were no people on the way.She quickened her pace and found the ear room of the back yamen, and saw two yamen servants eating around the stone table in the yard. When they saw Ah Lan coming, they got up and shouted: "Who is it? What are you doing here? "

Alan raised the food box in his hand: "Aunt Qi asked me to deliver food to that child."

"Oh, so it's from Aunt Qi's side." The servants sat down again and pointed to the side room behind them, "The child is inside, go in, don't close the door."

A Lan responded, then pushed the door open and entered the ear room.Yu Mo inside had heard the commotion outside, and quickly got up and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome, eat quickly." Alan put the food box on the table, uncovered the lid and put the plates on the table one by one, "The rice cools quickly in winter, and it's not good to eat when it's cold."

Yu Mo hurriedly helped to prepare the meal together, and said repeatedly: "Why don't you bother my sister, I will do it myself."

Alan put down the plate in his hand, looked at Yu Mo quietly, and couldn't help asking: "How old are you?"

"Fourteen." Yu Mo replied with a smile after hearing the words, and then said, "I'm going to trouble my sister this time, you go to eat first, and I can clean things up by myself after eating."

A Lan looked down at Yu Mo, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you recognize Bai Yutang?"

Yu Mo was taken aback when he heard the words, but the look of astonishment was fleeting. He immediately smiled as usual: "Who is my sister talking about? I have only heard of Jin Yu Man Tang, but I don't recognize Bai Yu Tang."

"It seems that I recognize it." A Lan carefully discerned Yu Mo's expression. Although the other party tried to be calm, he still had a strange expression after lying.

Yu Mo said: "Sister, don't wrong me, I really don't know him. Who is this person? Is it your friend?"

"Who is that Yan Chasan from Bai Yutang?" A Lan didn't answer Yu Mo's words, but immediately asked a second question, "Friend? Brother?" She carefully looked at Yu Mo's expression , and then tentatively said, "It seems that they are brothers... sworn brothers."

Yu Mo took a deep breath.

The author has something to say: A Lan: I suddenly have the ability of a lie detector, it’s amazing :)
