[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou set off from the capital, and it took half a day to arrive at Dingyuan County. They brought Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with them. When the four of them appeared outside the yamen, the dynasty guarding the yamen was taken aback, thinking belatedly. Get up to salute.

"Master Gongsun, subordinate—"

"I'm not a censor, I'm just a commoner, so there's no need to be too polite." Gongsun Ce helped the dynasty, "Dynasty, let's go in and talk about it."

"Yes, Mr. Gongsun."

Wang Chao followed and asked Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "What is Mr. Gongsun planning to do?"

"I don't know what Brother Gongsun is planning, but I know it must be related to Brother Bao."

Hearing that Wang Chao nodded, he took a look at Hua Manlou who was talking sideways with Gongsun Ce—this playboy has been following Gongsun Ce since he came to Luzhou, he is really a good friend!

"Zhan Zhao, this playboy has been with Mr. Gongsun all this time?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Wang Chao said, "It's nothing, I just think that Mr. Gongsun is really good, and all the friends around him are very good."

"Hey, I remembered. The last time Brother Gongsun was involved in a case in Yangzhou, Brother Bao asked you to help Brother Gongsun solve the case. You must have seen how powerful Brother Hua is." After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he glanced at Gongsun Ce. , "Let's hurry up and follow. Brother Gongsun is here this time to find Brother Bao. Don't worry, with Brother Gongsun, I will definitely be able to rescue Brother Bao!"

Wen Yan Dynasty smiled and said, "Of course, with Mr. Gongsun, we will definitely be able to find Mr. Bao back."

"That's why, let's go in and find out what Big Brother Gongsun has in mind now, maybe he has already figured out how to save Big Brother Bao."

Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou, who had entered the room first, sat down, and Bai Yutang glanced at Wang Chao and Zhan Zhao who had just entered, "Tch, do you want to save that bag of black charcoal?"

"What strange things are you saying behind my back? I can tell you, I must save Brother Bao, but now I have to listen to Brother Gongsun. Brother Gongsun will find a way to rescue Brother Bao. Don't say something , don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking, you’re definitely wishing that Big Brother Bao wouldn’t come back, you really have ulterior motives, I knew you must be the same as before, ignorant and incompetent”

Sure enough, once these two people met, they would bicker endlessly. Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou were quite helpless, because they had already learned how powerful their bickering skills were on the way here.

"Haven't you two had enough trouble along the way?"

"Brother Gongsun..." Zhan Zhao immediately felt aggrieved and said, "It's obviously his fault."

"Zhan Zhao."

"Understood, I just don't say anything."

Gongsun Ce was quite helpless, he glanced at Hua Manlou, but saw Hua Manlou had a smile on his face, as if he was not surprised by this situation at all.He lowered his head to Hua Manlou's ear and said, "Hey, why don't you talk about them?"

"Mr. Gongsun has always been very talkative, do you still need me to take action?"

"When did you use this to make fun of me?" Gongsun Ce curled his lips, feeling that Hua Manlou is becoming less and less easy to bully now, and even the occasional few teasing words would be blocked by Hua Manlou, leaving him at a loss for words .

Sure enough, Huamanlou's good skin has deceived many people into thinking that he is a gentle person who is easy to bully. In fact, Huamanlou is not a person who will suffer.

Hua Manlou is a guy who will neither suffer nor be fooled, he has a clear mind.

"What's on your mind?"

"you guess."

"Of course you're thinking about me, but you've only discovered this now, isn't it too late?" Hua Manlou was in a good mood ever since Gongsun Ce came out of prison.

Gongsun Ce looked at his face, smiled and said, "It's not too late."

"kindness?"

"It can change at any time, what do you think?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Really?"

This sentence was normal, but Gongsun Ce could hear the narrowness of the points in Hua Manlou's tone, so he turned his head and cleared his throat to look at the few people who were interested in the two of them whispering.

"Zhan Zhao told me that Bao Zheng didn't pay much attention to the case two days before his disappearance. With Bao Zheng's character, it's impossible for him to not pay attention to the case unless there is another matter that diverts his attention completely. Otherwise—" Gongsun Ce tapped his knees with his fingers habitually, "Have you touched the room where Bao Zheng stayed the night before he disappeared?"

"No, the subordinates dare not move, for fear of destroying some clues."

"Well, I'll go and have a look now."

Bao Zheng disappeared for nearly three months, Gongsun Ce was sent to the border to supervise the army, and now he has time to investigate Bao Zheng's affairs, but it was a blessing in disguise, and it is much easier to return to an ordinary person now than when he was an official.

At least this head doesn't have to worry about falling off for the time being.

He led a few people to Bao Zheng's room, and when they came to the door, the policemen guarding the door saw a few people, and first greeted Wang Chao Zhanzhao, presumably they didn't recognize Gongsun Ce.

"Zhanwei, Wangwei."

"This is Gongsun Ce, my big brother Gongsun, I came here specially to help us find out the whereabouts of big brother Bao, you go down, we are here."

"It turned out to be Mr. Gongsun who has admired his name for a long time. Yes, let's go down now."

Gongsun Ce nodded, and stretched out his hand to open the door. There was no one to clean it. It looked exactly the same as when Bao Zheng left.

The scene is well protected, and it seems that many clues may be found.

If Bao Zheng had discovered something before he disappeared, then according to Bao Zheng's character, he would definitely leave some clues for him, and he would not just disappear for no reason.

There was still some dust floating in the air, Gongsun Ce covered his mouth and nose and went in, waved the dust away in front of him, frowned and said, "Bao Zheng, the magistrate's room is too plain."

Simple tables, chairs, benches, and a bookshelf, even the bed looked extremely shabby. If it hadn't been for what he said with his own eyes, Gongsun Ce would have thought that this was the bedroom of a county magistrate in a remote town.

Dingyuan County is the territory under the emperor's feet, no matter how clean it is, the quilt in winter cannot be a single quilt.

"Is Bao Zheng always like this?"

"We tried to persuade you, but Master Bao didn't listen."

"This Bao Zheng is really... bull-tempered." After finishing speaking, Gongsun Ce shook his head, walked to the desk and began to search for clues.

Bao Zheng must have left some clues, he wouldn't just leave so simply, there must be something that Zhan Zhao and the others didn't find when they first came in.

Zhan Zhao was a little confused, and scratched his head—there is dust all over here, is there any clue?
