Yin difference in Kaifeng

After the Qi family's murder case ended, the Kaifeng mansion had only been idle for two days before receiving an urgent official document from the neighboring county.

The county magistrate Hu in a neighboring county claimed that there have been cases of bizarre deaths of babies recently under his jurisdiction, and the families of the victims and the people went to the government office every day to complain and cry for grievances.However, every time the murderer commits a crime, he comes and goes without a trace, making it impossible for the police to catch him. County magistrate Hu is extremely worried because of this incident.

Seeing that the situation is getting more and more serious, and some people have claimed that the incident is caused by evil spirits, which makes the people panic all day long.County magistrate Hu was helpless, so he had to submit an official document to Kaifeng Mansion, requesting Mr. Bao to send someone to assist in the investigation of the case.

Passing this official document to Mr. Gongsun and Zhan Zhao for circulation, Master Bao pondered for a while and asked, "What is Mr. Gongsun's opinion on this matter?"

"Students thought that this matter was unusual."

"Oh, the government would like to hear about it."

Mr. Gongsun cupped his fists and bowed to Mr. Bao, and then said slowly: "Firstly, the victims are all infants. May I ask, who will the child have a grudge against? If the parents are implicated, why are the rest of the family safe and sound? Second, , There are so many victims with different identities, it is really unreasonable to say that it is the murderer's revenge. If it is not for revenge, why did he attack such a young child? It really puzzles the students."

Master Bao listened to it and nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at Zhan Zhao and said, "Guard Zhan, I need to trouble you to make a trip to this matter."

"Your subordinate obeys." Zhan Zhao cupped his fists to accept the order, and was about to leave when Mr. Gongsun raised his hand to signal him to wait.

"Guard Zhan, this matter is strange, and County Magistrate Hu said that some people claimed that this matter was caused by evil spirits. Why don't you go to Su's house first and ask Miss Su's opinion on this matter."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then thanked Mr. Gongsun with cupped fists: "Thank you for your reminder, sir."

After leaving Xingkong Island, Bai Yutang rushed towards the capital at high speed, without taking much rest along the way, only thinking about seeing Ziyu as soon as possible.

Outside the gate of Su's house, the petunias that had covered the courtyard walls had already lost their flowers and leaves. Now, only the criss-crossed dead vines were left sticking to the wall.Reining in the reins, turning over and jumping off the horse, Bai Yutang ran to the door in two steps, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and knocked on the vermilion lacquered door.

"Who? Stop knocking, here we come!"

Zishu's voice came from the yard, and soon the door was opened.Seeing the dusty man standing at the door, Zishu grinned, her eyes turned into crescents: "Brother Bai, you are here. Come in quickly, my sister is over there."

When Bai Yutang stepped into the gate of Su's house, he saw Ziyu sitting on a low stool playing with a pot of chrysanthemums.Seeing him come in, Ziyu put down the things in her hands, and stood up slowly: "Fifth Brother..."

Before she finished speaking, she was already hugged tightly in his arms, the strength seemed to crush her.It made her stand there immediately, not knowing what to do.

Zishu and Dahuang next to them were stunned by the sudden situation, opened their small mouths in surprise and gossip, and looked at the two of them without blinking.

"Where have you been these days? Do you know that I've been looking for you everywhere?" Bai Yutang didn't believe it was really her until he hugged her, and she was by his side at this very moment. "I'm afraid you'll just go away and never come back."

Because of his words, Ziyu felt that a part of her heart became very soft, as if it was about to melt.Unknowingly blushing, she said softly, "Where can I go if I don't come back? This is my home, no matter how far I go, I will come back."

Just come back!Bai Yutang, who had been depressed for many days, finally became cheerful.

"Sister, Fifth Brother Bai..." Zishu looked up at the two of them, and stretched out her small hand to tug at the corner of Bai Yutang's clothes: "How long are you going to hug? Brother Zhan is here."

Ziyu hurriedly pushed Bai Yutang away, and took two steps to the side.Glancing at Zhan Zhao who was standing at the door, he lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "Brother Zhan, when did you come?"

"Just came." Zhan Zhao said as he glanced at Bai Yutang, seeing his mouth curled up triumphantly, and secretly clenched his fists.Just now, I saw a white horse without a trace of variegation outside the door, and I thought it should belong to this mouse.Unexpectedly, when he walked to the door, he would see him hugging Ziyu tightly, and immediately stood outside the door with mixed emotions in his heart.

Seeing him staring at him with a cold face, Bai Yutang felt unspeakable joy in his heart: "Zhan Zhao, what are you doing here when you're not on duty in Kaifeng Mansion? Are you not afraid that Mr. Bao will blame you for leaving your post without authorization?"

"Zhan has his own way of doing things, don't bother Brother Bai." Pushing back unceremoniously, Zhan Zhao stepped over the threshold with his robe lifted, and walked in front of Ziyu: "I came here today because I want to ask you for help. "

Without waiting for Ziyu to speak, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and pulled her behind him, and said to Zhan Zhao: "Ziyu is not from your government, if you have any problems, solve it yourself, don't bother her."

"Bai Yutang, Zhan has something serious to discuss with Ziyu, so don't make trouble here."

Afraid that the two of them would quarrel, Ziyu quickly turned around and stood between them, looking at one and then the other: "If you have something to say, please don't quarrel, okay?"

"Hmph!" The two of them snorted coldly at each other in unison, turning their faces away.

Facing these two awkward guys, Ziyu frowned helplessly, turned her head and said to Da Huang who was still standing aside, "Go and make a pot of tea." Then she patted Zishu on the head: "Go and help her."

After sending the two younger ones away, Ziyu looked at the two older ones and said, "Let's discuss something in the room."

The two little fellows who were hiding in the corner watching the play, seeing them all entered the house, Da Huang turned to Zishu and said, "Tell me, which one of them does Shangxian like?"

"Any one is fine." Regarding this question, Zi Shu didn't have much trouble. What she cared about most was: "As long as it is good for my sister, willing to live with us, and buy fresh fish for me to eat every day, they It doesn't matter who is my brother-in-law."

After finishing speaking, she received Rhubarb's extremely disdainful look, and knocked on the top of its head: "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and make tea!"

Touching her painful head, Da Huang pouted and walked towards the backyard.

"This matter is very strange."

After listening to Zhan Zhao's words, Ziyu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.She doesn't understand the way the government investigates cases, but this matter is really hard to explain with common sense. If you look at it according to her own thinking, [-]% of the murderer is a monster who has already given birth to wisdom.

Man is the head of all things. The intelligence of a child of a few years old is much higher than that of a monster that has lived for a hundred years.Therefore, many monsters will choose to eat people in order to improve their cultivation base.The baby is tender and will not resist, so it has become the target of many small and low-level monsters.

According to what Zhan Zhao said, Ziyu felt that she should investigate this case with Zhan Zhao.

When I met her just now, when I heard that she was going to investigate the case with that stinky cat, Bai Yutang immediately jumped up: "I'll go too."

Zhan Zhao frowned, and said casually, "Bai Yutang, this is a matter for the government..."

"Fart!" Bai Yutang didn't like him: "Ziyu shouldn't be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the government. As long as she goes, the fifth master will go too. If you stop him from going, then the fifth master will also go." Don't let her go with you."

As soon as the two of them meet, they are bound to quarrel, Ziyu rubbed her forehead weakly and looked at the two of them: "Stop arguing! If anyone quarrels again, get out immediately!"

The two shut their mouths wisely, but neither of them was convinced, and they were afraid of being accused by Ziyu, so they sat there silently and stared at each other, wishing to make a few holes in each other.

She simply packed up a few things needed to catch the monster, took some silver taels with her, told Zishu and Dahuang a few words, and recruited Zhao Zhong who was still sleeping in the memorial tablet, and she followed them on the road.

On the way, as usual, Bai Yutang led her to ride the same horse, and Zhan Zhao rode with them on horseback.After driving for half a day, they arrived at the county where the accident happened.

Instead of finding an inn to stay, the three of them went directly to the county government office.

From a distance, I saw many ordinary people kneeling or sitting at the gate of the county government office, each with tears in their eyes, talking sadly about what evil they had done to let the youngest son of the family suffer such a disaster.

The county magistrate Hu and a group of officials in the yamen persuaded the people well to let them go home first, saying that the government will definitely solve the case as soon as possible, punish the perpetrators severely, and give them justice.

"My lord, you have said this many times, but you haven't caught the murderer until now, but children are killed every day in the city. If this continues, how will you let us live?"

Seeing that someone took the lead in making a fuss, other people also accused the county magistrate of not doing anything. As they talked, the young and vigorous one rushed forward and grabbed magistrate Hu and asked him to pay for the lives of these murdered children.Seeing that the master was arrested, the yamen servant received several punches in the blink of an eye, and immediately drew his sword and rushed forward to restrain the attacker.

Now this angered the other sufferers, no matter what the government or the law, everyone rushed up, surrounded the yamen servants and the county magistrate Hu, yelling and clamoring to do it.

There was a lot of trouble over there, and it was about to develop to the point where it was out of control.Here Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, they looked at each other, jumped up from the horse, and after a few ups and downs, they reached the middle of the encirclement.

Separated by a few young men who made the move, they protected the servants who were being beaten, and Zhan Zhao Juque lay across his chest, and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone stop!"

Bai Yutang kicked over the yamen servant who was beating someone, turned around to stop the people who wanted to rush forward: "Everyone, calm down."

Seeing the two of them falling down like gods, the common people and government servants were stunned.

When County Magistrate Hu saw Zhan Zhao, who was wearing a magenta official robe, he hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed in salute, regardless of the pain on his body: "Your Majesty, Hu Zhijing, has met Mr. Zhan."

Seeing this, all the yamen servants saluted him one after another.

"You don't need to be too polite." Zhan Zhao raised his hand to help, glanced at the people present, and said loudly: "Your family has suffered such a disaster, and you feel very sad. These magistrates of Hu County understand and will solve the case as soon as possible and give you an explanation. If there are still people who don't listen to the advice and act recklessly, they will go to the county government jail for a few days."

Seeing Magistrate Hu salute him respectfully just now, the common people also secretly guessed his identity in their hearts. The only thing that is certain is that this person has a higher official position than Magistrate Hu.

At this time, someone asked: "My lord, children are killed every day. Which one of the families with children can be at ease? Who knows who will be unlucky next? The government says to solve the case as soon as possible, so you can give me a clue." In other words, how many days will it take? So that everyone can feel at ease."

Zhan Zhao was momentarily speechless by his questioning. There was no clue about this matter, and everything was their guesswork. If you asked him how many days it would take to solve the case, he really couldn't answer.

"Three days!" Behind the crowd, a crisp voice said confidently: "In three days, I will definitely catch the murderer and give everyone an explanation!"

The author has something to say: I feel that the emotional drama has already developed towards Xiaobai...
