teardrops

Zhan Zhao was full of doubts, and was about to return the gift, but saw that blue light flashed from the alley and stopped in front of the two of them.It was Qin Rui who held the little beggar with one hand.

The beggar was still holding the black silk purse in his arms, but he didn't know how to put it in. He didn't understand how he returned to the place where he had just stolen it, and found a military officer standing in front of him. He couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

"Miss Qin, Miss Liuli, what's going on?" Zhan Zhao asked, cupping his hands.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhan." Rui'er was also a little flustered. She had just used the power of the real dragon to bring the little beggar back in an instant, but she didn't expect Zhan Zhao to see it. How can I cover it up?

"If Zhan was not mistaken just now, it was this child who stole your purse?" Zhan Zhao asked, he was very surprised, this girl's lightness kung fu is so shocking!

"Exactly, since Mr. Zhan witnessed the whole process, please deal with it according to the law." Liu Li said, just wanting to leave quickly.

Zhan Zhao took the money bag from the beggar and handed it back to Liuli, "You have a lot of things, right?" He said to the beggar, "Although you are young and poor, you shouldn't do such a thing of theft. Follow me." Go back home and wait for Master Bao to deal with it." Beggar was dejected, and wanted to leave with Zhan Zhao. "The two girls will come back home with me." Zhan Zhao thought to himself, this is just right, and he can get clues about the previous case from them.

"Master Zhan, please wait a moment!" Rui'er shouted.

"Miss Qin, what else is there?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Master Zhan, this baby should have a younger sister." Qi'er glanced at Rui'er and nodded hurriedly. "These two children are still young, but they have become beggars. Which child in the world is not the jewel in the palm of their parents, but they live by begging and stealing. If their parents were here, I don't know how heartbroken they would be." Then he pleaded: " Mr. Zhan, please don’t send him to the government. If he leaves, what will happen to his sister? Please let him go because he is young and lonely.”

Zhan Zhao was surprised again. He didn't expect Qin Rui to be so kind-hearted, but he couldn't bear to take the beggar away, "Miss Qin said that Zhan admired him very much. Originally, this son was still young, and he would not be able to return to the house. Master Bao will not punish him severely, at most he will give him a reprimand. Since Miss Qin said so, Zhan will not make things difficult for him."

"Thank you Mr. Zhan!" Rui'er smiled, and that smile was like a spring breeze passing by, making one's heart warm. "Okay, Rui'er, it's getting late, let's go quickly." Liuli felt something wrong in her heart, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she could only urge Rui'er to leave.

However, Rui'er leaned down and said to the beggar: "Little brother, where are your parents?" The beggar's eyes filled with tears and he choked up and said: "Sister, the Yellow River flooded this summer, and your parents are all in trouble." Drowned. There are no adults in the family, so my sister and I wandered to the capital."

Rui'er was silent for a moment, thoughtfully, took the money bag from Liuli's hand, took out a piece of gold about five taels and put it back in Liuli's hand, then put the money bag back into the beggar's arms: "Little brother, my hometown is still here!" If you have relatives, go to them and stop begging with your sister."

Beggar's knees softened, and he knelt down in front of Rui'er: "Thank you, sister! I will never forget my sister's kindness!"

Rui'er hurriedly helped Xiaohu up, "You don't have to do this, little Huzi, go ahead and take my sister away."

Seeing the little Huzi leave happily, Rui'er smiled at Liuli again: "Liuli, our rent should be enough."

Zhan Zhao was on the sidelines filled with emotion, this woman's heart is really hard to see in the world, but she may be related to those bizarre murders.Then he asked tentatively, "Why did Miss Qin come to the capital? Can you find your maid?"

Rui'er looked at Zhan Zhao, and replied: "No, we found out that she might have arrived in the capital, so we followed. When we first arrived in Kaifeng, we met Young Master."

"It's getting late, where are the two girls planning to stay?"

Rui'er replied: "We're going to the inn in front. We'll stay here first, and then we'll look for the whereabouts of the Huanzhu." The two women saluted and prepared to leave.

"You two girls, please stay." Zhan Zhao called out.

"Master Zhan, what else is there?" Liuli asked.

"I'm really ashamed to give you a horse of Ming jewels because of the kindness of the girl. I hope the girl will take it back."

Liuli was furious in her heart, do you want us to owe you love all the time, she said patiently: "My lord, don't say that, mere petty things are far less than your kindness to Ruier's life. Things like my manor It's not hard to find. If you don't accept it, you will look down on us too much."

"Mr. Zhan, please don't refuse anymore. If my father knows that you have saved my life, he will definitely give you half of the manor." Rui'er said, and then felt a slip of the tongue, pretty His face suddenly turned half red.But Liuli knew that back then Rui'er's father, King Sihai Dragon King, loved this daughter very much. He once jokingly said, whoever can make my Rui'er fall in love with her as a husband-in-law, I would like to give him half of Sihai as a gift.He also felt embarrassed at the moment and stopped making a sound.

Zhan Zhao saw that the faces of the two were uncertain, and he knew it was inconvenient to say more, so he bid farewell to the two girls.Turn around and leave.

Rui'er and Liuli found the inn to live in. The two traveled thousands of miles and couldn't take care of rest. Rui'er immediately set out to find the trace of the magic pearl.

But seeing Rui'er sitting in the room, closing his eyes and meditating.Concentrate on exploring the true essence on the dragon ball. "The east of the city, the middle of the city, the northwest outside the city..."

Finally, Rui'er opened her star eyes and murmured: "It's strange, there are traces of magic beads, that is, dragon beads, in many places in the city. Why?"

Liuli said, "Is there any connection between these places?"

"I can't see it, maybe it has something to do with the topography of this place, but the traces in the east of the city are the most obvious. It seems that she just appeared there." Rui'er said, "Let's go there and have a look."

"it is good."

Immediately the two set off.I saw Liuli chanting the incantation, transforming into a ball of purple light, enveloping Rui'er, and then the light ball quickly flew over the window and headed towards the east of the city.

Early the next morning, someone went to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case, and a body was found outside the east gate of the city. The deceased was a merchant who went to Kaifeng for business.Soon the body was submitted to the corpse, and the cause of death was exactly the same as that of the strange deceased a few days ago.The difference this time is that the deceased was accompanied by two people at the time, and the other was found not far from the deceased, but there was blood on his head, and he was unconscious next to a stone.Yamen servants brought the injured back to Kaifeng Mansion.Bao Zheng is very concerned about this person, maybe this person has witnessed the murderer's process, so he can find out the murderer's identity.

After Gongsun Ce checked the pulse, he reported to Bao Zheng: "The injured person was knocked into the head and fell into a coma, and a hematoma formed in the brain. Therefore, this person's high fever persists and his breathing is uneven. Although the student can protect his life for a while. However, it is extremely difficult for him to wake up in a short period of time."

Bao Zheng frowned: "Previously, the murderer used poison to commit crimes, but this time he used poison to injure others. Why?"

Zhan Zhao said from the side: "In addition to the head injury, this person has a bruise on his chest, and there are bloodstains on the stone beside him, so he was injured by knocking his head on the stone after being knocked into the air. This person is tall and tall. And being hit so hard, it can be seen that the impact was extremely powerful." After speaking, something faintly remembered in his heart, and his heart sank.

Bao Zheng was about to answer, but he heard a report from a close follower: "My lord, there is a woman playing drums outside the house."
