Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

When Yu Mo was persuaded to go back, the sky was completely dark.Ah Lan sighed, and staggered towards the guest room where she lived, feeling very sleepy for a while.

It seems to be extraordinarily cold tonight, the air seems to be frozen.The high courtyard walls firmly blocked the already dim moonlight. When Alan slowly returned to the courtyard, he felt that the surrounding darkness seemed to have been frozen into something tangible, and every breath would flow smoothly. Down the trachea all the way into the lungs.

Just when she was groping for the darkness and was about to open the door, a voice suddenly sounded very close to her, which almost made Alan jump up in fright:

"Why did you come back so late?" The tone seemed a little dissatisfied.

Alan shuddered all over, if she didn't recognize who the voice belonged to, she might have yelled out loud.She patted her chest and let out a long breath, and said, "It's you, why didn't you move at all, it scared me to death."

"It's not that I didn't move at all, it's because you didn't hear anything." Zhan Zhaofan led the army, "Martial arts practitioners are supposed to see all directions and listen to all directions, and you are wandering around by yourself at such a late hour, even worse. It’s about paying more attention.”

Listening to Zhan Zhao's instruction, Ah Lan didn't nod repeatedly for the first time, but boldly said: "This is not the outside, am I in the Kaifeng mansion? Didn't you say yesterday that the mansion is safe?" Is it very good?" She deliberately bit the word "big brother", as if to give herself a layer of confidence to talk back.

"..." Zhan Zhao was speechless for a while, and after a long silence, he resigned himself to changing the subject, "What did you do just now, and you don't come back early at night."

Alan stood a little cold, rubbed his arms together, and replied: "Didn't you just withdraw from the court? The child named Yumo wanted to follow his master in the prison, so I persuaded him a few words. Let him go back to the side room in front of the yamen." She said and stamped her feet vigorously, "This kind of weather, not to mention the prison cell, even the ordinary guest room is very cold, how can such a small child bear it."

"Let the yamen take care of this kind of thing, what are you messing around with?" Zhan Zhao saw that Alan was very cold, although he still wanted to talk to her a few more words, but his heart ached, fearing that Alan would get sick from the cold, He said, "Go back to the house quickly, your face is pale from the cold."

Ah Lan felt reluctant. Although she had seen her at noon, she had only said a few words now, and she felt that she was still full of meaning, so she said, "I'm not cold." It's getting warmer. You can talk to me, I can't even find anyone to talk to here."

"Why, can't we go with them?" Zhan Zhao was a little worried when he heard this, "Nobody bullied you, right?"

A Lan waved her hands, and quickly retracted her hands into her sleeves, saying: "Aunt Qi is covering me, no one would dare to trouble me. It's just that those handymen are all men, how many women in the back kitchen are there?" They are married, and when they get together to say something like 'children' or 'diapers', I can't get in a word."

"Is that so?" Zhan Zhao couldn't help but ponder.Before, he only thought of arranging A-lan into the mansion for the convenience of taking care of him, but he didn't consider that A-lan didn't even have a talking partner in the mansion on weekdays.

Ah Lan didn't care much about this, she continued: "Didn't I deliver food to that kid at noon today? Guess what I asked?"

"What?" Zhan Zhao asked casually before returning to his senses.

A Lan mysteriously lowered his voice, and replied: "He knows Bai Yutang, his master and Bai Yutang are sworn brothers."

"What did you say?" Zhan Zhao was taken aback, "Did that kid tell you?"

Alan choked for a moment, and said, "I didn't tell me directly, I saw it myself."

"..." Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and said helplessly, "You can see it, how did you see it? The words 'I know Bai Yutang' are written on his face?"

Alan rolled her eyes silently—I have to say that her rolling her eyes really captured the essence of Zhan Zhao—then muttered: "I can't tell, anyway, he should know Bai Yutang, that Yan Chasan and Bai Yutang They are sworn brothers." She repeated, as if she wanted to emphasize it again.

"Okay." Zhan Zhao brushed a strand of hair from A Lan's ear, and said in a low voice, "This case actually has nothing to do with Yan Chasan's recognition of Bai Yutang, it's just that Bai Yutang trespassed on the Kaifeng Mansion It's related to this. However, I can't arrest Bai Yutang and put him in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, so it's really not that important whether they are brothers or not."

Alan was a little disappointed: "So, this clue is useless to solve the case?"

"You can't say that." Zhan Zhao was afraid of hurting Ah Lan's enthusiasm, so he said something ambiguous, and then asked, "Why are you so interested in these prison matters?"

Ah Lan sniffed, and said: "It just happened to happen. I was curious at first that Yan Sheng had already pleaded guilty, but his little boy came to Kaifeng Mansion to sue again. I thought it was strange. After listening to Mr. Bao's trial, That’s how I found out what happened.”

"It's not unusual." Zhan Zhao said, "It's not uncommon for the Kaifeng Mansion to hear more unusual cases every year." He sighed as he spoke, and saw A Lan jumping and jumping in place, he couldn't bear it. He said, "Go back, it's time to rest at this hour."

After being kicked out twice by Zhan Zhao, Ah Lan couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, then raised her head and said, "The last question."

"You ask." Zhan Zhao decided to make a quick decision, and Ah Lan's nose was almost dripping from the cold.

Alan then asked: "Do you think that Feng Junheng will plead guilty?"

"If he committed a crime, he will naturally admit it. Even if the surname Feng still wants to quibble and deny it, Mr. Bao has a way to make him bow his head and confess his crime at the end." Zhan Zhao has full confidence in Bao Gong.

Ah Lan said, "What if there is no physical evidence?"

"Why not?" Zhan Zhao said, "Didn't that kid say that Feng Junheng's fan is still stuck in the pen holder in the study?"

Alan clicked his tongue: "What if Feng Junheng stole the fan back? If he dared to leave Yan Chasan's fan at the scene of the crime to frame it, he should think of destroying the evidence."

"..." Zhan Zhao was silent for a moment, "Then the only thing we can do is to cover the water with soil."

Alan asked: "How to block it? How to cover it up?"

Before Zhan Zhao could answer, he suddenly heard someone shouting from outside the courtyard: "Master Zhan! Master Zhan!" He raised his eyebrows, waved his hands and told A Lan to go back to the house, and walked out, he replied, "Who?"

"It's me, Chao Dynasty." The person who came was one of the four captains. He stood outside the courtyard and clasped his fists, saying, "Feng Junheng has been escorted back to the yamen. My lord, please go over now."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "It stands to reason that the promotion is tomorrow morning, why do you call it the past now? Your lord hasn't rested yet?"

"Oh, don't mention it." Wang Chao shook his head and sighed, "The yamen who went to Xiangfu County did not find a fan in the study where Yan Sheng stayed. After escorting Feng Junheng back, the surname Feng took out the fan from his body , saying that the fan has never been changed.”

Zhan Zhao was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly felt that A Lan also had the talent of crow's mouth.He nodded: "It shouldn't be too late, you and I will go there right away. Please trouble Brother Wang to make this trip."

"My lord, what are you talking about?" Wang Chao smiled, "They are still looking for you, I was thinking that you might be here, so I just came over to take a look." He didn't dare to say more, so he said to Zhan Zhao said, "Why don't you go to Mr. Bao first, and I'll call Huzi and the others back and report back to Mr. Bao."

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, his face flushed a little, but luckily he couldn't see it at night.He left the dynasty and strode towards the Yazhai—if Duke Bao was not promoted, he would usually inquire about the case there.

The night wind was bitingly cold, but he felt a burning sensation in his chest, and his heart seemed to be beating too fast.Just now, Dynasty Cai just mentioned something, but did not point it out, but Zhan Zhao still felt an indescribable complex emotion.

It wasn't until outside the study that he calmed down a little bit, and after the notification, he strode in.

The lights in the study were brightly lit, turning around the screen, Zhan Zhao saw Bao Gong sitting at the head of the desk, with a white man kneeling below him.He first stepped forward to salute Bao Gong, and then calmly looked at Feng Junheng, the kneeling man.

Frankly speaking, compared with Yan Chasan, Feng Junheng's appearance is really shabby.His eyes are too small, his nose is too big, his eyebrows are sparse and sparse, but his hair is thick and thick like weeds, and he has rabbit ears, eagle cheeks, snake brows and mouse eyes. He doesn't look like a good person.However, kneeling on the ground, Feng Junheng never frightened the two to fight, but there was a look of indignation on his face.He didn't care about Zhan Zhao coming in, and said to Bao Gong straight away: "Master Qingtian, Yan Chasan didn't mention killing people, but poured this basin of dirty water on the grass people's heads, and fabricated such non-existent things as evidence. Yes, really..." He was so angry that he couldn't continue, he stroked his chest and kowtowed heavily, "I also ask Master Qingtian to be the master for the grass people."

"According to you," Baogong said calmly, "you never exchanged fans with that Yansheng, and you didn't even know about Xiuhong's death?"

Feng Junheng nodded vigorously, and said: "Exactly. Caomin's fan is always carried with him, and he never leaves it. It was presented to you just now, and it is still on the case."

"I want to ask you a question, and you answer it, don't say too much!" Bao Gong said coldly, "Where were you the night Xiu Hong died?"

Feng Junheng replied: "Of course it's in the villain's room."

"But in Liu Hong's residence?" Bao Gong asked.

Feng Junheng said calmly: "Cao Min went to visit his aunt, and now he lives in Liu Yuanwai's residence."

"Can someone testify for you that you never went to the crime scene that night?" Bao Gong continued to ask.

Feng Junheng made a bitter face, and said: "My lord, this is called Caomin, where can I find someone? Caomin is just a white man, and he has no family background. How can he find someone to serve him like Yan Chasan?"

"Don't talk too much!" Bao Gong slapped the table, "Since that's the case, no one can testify for you where you were at the night of the crime?"

Feng Junheng said: "My lord, you can't convict the grassroots just because of this. The grassroots must not be the only one that no one in the house can testify that night. Is it possible that you still have to doubt it?"

"Bold!" Bao Gong slapped the table heavily, "Show a tricky mouth. If you didn't do anything, why did Yan Shengduanduan want to bite you?"

Feng Junheng said: "How does this grassroots know? It's not the roundworm in Yan Chasan's belly. I think he is desperate, he gnaws and bites randomly, and his intentions are really sinister."
