[Zhan Zhaotongren] Hongchen

Back in Kaifeng Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao went to help Master Li cook as usual. It was already evening, and Master Li was the busiest at this time.

She wanted to cook for a while, so that she could forget about those tingling scalps, white silk, dead souls, dead bodies, human lives... No wonder she was so unlucky recently, it turned out that she took something she shouldn't have.

In Bao Zheng's study, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce listened to Zhan Zhao's recounting of the day's events. Beside him, Zhui Ming sat there listening with a teacup, nodding from time to time.

Bao Zheng didn't shy away from chasing his life, and when Zhan Zhao finished talking, he asked cheerfully, "Did he really say he was blackmailed?"

"En," Zhan Zhao nodded.

"It doesn't seem kind to Kaifeng Mansion and the God Detective Department to blackmail a commoner," said Bao Zheng, looking at Gongsun Ce with his eyes, only to see Gongsun Ce drinking tea with a smile, as if he didn't hear what he said at all.

"Master said, if your lord doesn't want him, this person will belong to us." Zhui Ming looked at Bao Zheng with a smile. Originally, he didn't intend to say this, but after noon today, he found that the master is really insightful, and he was right. .

For dinner, Zhui Ming continued to eat and drink in Kaifeng mansion unceremoniously, Zhan Zhao sat with him, and Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce was also at the same table.

Six dishes and one soup, Bao Zheng specially ordered some distinguished guests to add more dishes, and he was very happy to eat, but it seemed that the taste was not as good as the one he had at noon. He clearly saw Su Xiaoxiao enter the kitchen just now.

"Now it seems that this Su Xiaoxiao was wronged, but since he is interested, Zhanwei might as well help him a little more," Gongsun Ce continued the topic of the study to the dinner table while eating.

Zhan Zhao nodded, he also felt that Su Xiaoxiao was innocent, but he still didn't understand why Su Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry to get out, and even trapped herself deeper and deeper.

"I have to go back and ask the master, but the master also thinks that this Su Xiaoxiao is very interesting," Zhui Ming said, "We have checked him carefully, and there is nothing suspicious."

While talking about Zhui Ming, he suddenly changed the subject. He scratched his hair with his hand and said to Bao Zheng, "By the way, my lord, can I live in Kaifeng Mansion for the time being? It’s also troublesome to go.”

"Master Zhui Ming is coming, and our Kaifeng Mansion welcomes it naturally. I will send someone to clean up the guest room right now." Bao Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong. He nodded and planned to order people to prepare, but Zhui Ming waved his hand and said. , "My lord, you're welcome. I'll go to Brother Zhan's and make up for it. Don't bother your lord anymore."

Zhan Zhao looked up at Zhui Ming, what to do with him?Are they familiar?

Zhui Ming chuckled, just pretending that he didn't see Zhan Zhao's reluctance.

It was night, there was no light in the ancient night, Su Xiaoxiao put an oil lamp beside the bed, and then stared at the pile of white silk on the bed in a daze, this white silk was the white silk that Zi Yan had just taken off from her body, and it was the one that Zi Yan hanged herself That white silk...

Ever since she knew what this thing was for, Su Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable all over, nonsense, who would be more comfortable~~

Thinking of getting back quickly and taking it away, who knows that Zhui Ming and Zhan Zhao never left on this journey, and later she wanted to take it, but will anyone find out after taking it off?If people find out that she is a woman at this time...

Thoughts drifted for a moment, Su Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head, there was no "what if", and it was still impossible for people to know that she was a girl before she made it clear.

Thinking of Ziyan, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help swallowing, she looked around, it was already scary during the day, but it was even more scary at night... Although she doesn't believe in ghosts, it's hard to say that she herself is a ghost, A ghost who has taken over someone else's body... Woohoo... Help... Why did all the unlucky things happen to her, they were all through time travel, why is it that she is the only one who time travels so sadly...

Su Xiaoxiao turned over and got off the bed, dragged her shoes and walked out, she couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she might as well go and read a book, she might fall asleep after reading it.

There is still a long way from the small courtyard where she lives to Zangshuge. There is no moon tonight, but the stars are very bright. Su Xiaoxiao looks up while walking. Such a beautiful night and such beautiful stars are seen in big cities. Unbelievable scenery.

Zhan Zhao hid in a shadow and watched silently, what is Su Xiaoxiao doing out at this time?Walking without looking at the road, but looking up at the sky, walking in this posture is very strange, what can there be in the sky?What is he looking at?

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but also looked up, there were countless stars shining silvery in the dark sky, flickering on and off.

Su Xiaoxiao realized that there was no light when she was about to reach Zangshu Pavilion. She stood there for a while, then turned around and walked towards Luoyanju. Since Zhan Zhao is the person who assists her in handling the case, it's okay to "assist" her to get the book now, right? .

"Master Zhan!" Su Xiaoxiao yelled twice at the entrance of Luoyanxuan's courtyard, before she could blink, she saw someone coming out from inside, "Master Zhuiming? Why do you..."

"Zhan Zhao is taking a shower, what do you need from him?" Zhui Ming said nonsense.He just came back from the Shenhunting Division, and originally wanted to find Zhan Zhao for a drink, but no one paid him any attention after knocking for a long time.

"Really," Su Xiaoxiao looked in, the door behind Zhui Ming was open, but the other doors were closed, maybe, "It's the same when I see you, you accompany me to a place."

"Where are you going?" Zhan Zhao's voice came, and the person was already standing behind Su Xiaoxiao. It didn't look like he had just taken a bath, but he just came back.

"Cangshu Pavilion," Su Xiaoxiao turned around.

On the quiet path, this time Su Xiaoxiao felt very at ease, Zhan Zhao and Zhui Ming were behind her, for some reason, as long as they were there, she would not be afraid in her heart.

In Zangshu Pavilion, Su Xiaoxiao opened the door and entered, facing rows of bookshelves, what is a sea of ​​books, that's all.

Gongsun Ce has organized the place very well. Each shelf is marked, and all the books are placed on different shelves by category. The books on each shelf are clean and tidy, without even the slightest musty smell.

After a general glance, although it cannot be said that the books here are all-encompassing, it still opened her eyes.

The most here are medical books, then history and geography, and some folk customs of various places. When she reached the top floor, she was even asked to find the case files of Kaifeng Mansion over the years. These files are all sealed and archived. Official documents, the time was even pushed to the first year of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"You just came to look for books?" Zhui Ming yawned leaning against a bookshelf, if he had known earlier he would not have followed.

"Aren't you looking for Ziyan's dossier from back then?" Zhan Zhao saw Su Xiaoxiao staring at the dossier in a daze, so he asked.

"Do you think you can find it?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask him how he knew about Ziyan, but felt that Zhan Zhao's words had reminded her, and she couldn't sleep anyway, so she simply looked for it, and if she could find it, it might prove her guess.

"No way, how do you find so many?" Zhui Ming glanced roughly, there are at least a dozen or twenty bookshelves here, and each shelf is full of stacks of files. When will we find them.

"My lord, otherwise why would Mr. Zhuge ask you to assist in handling the case!" Su Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, and began to flip through the file with her own hands.

………………

"Help me..." Zhui Ming raised his head from the file in his hand, and stretched his waist, "It's already five o'clock, you really don't plan to go back to sleep for a while?"

Zhan Zhao raised his head and glanced at him, and then caught sight of Su Xiaoxiao seriously reading a book, his fair face was covered with a circle of gold borders by lamps and candles, his facial features were very detailed, and the detailed features did not look like a man.

He lowered his head to hide the thought in his heart, he had never looked at a person with such a mentality before, what happened today.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the dossier in her hand very seriously. It was very difficult for her to read these things, so her efficiency was low.

The characters here are in traditional Chinese, and many of them are unfamiliar. She could only ask Zhan Zhao for advice while reading it. I haven't finished reading this volume.

No one paid him any attention to the life-seeking protest, so he could only continue until the sky was gray, when Su Xiaoxiao turned her neck and asked, "My lords, what do you want for breakfast?"

"Are you doing it?" Zhui Ming raised his head again and asked, "It doesn't matter what you eat, the point is to bring the supper with you. I've starved to death by now!"

Su Xiaoxiao went to see Zhan Zhao, and saw that he was still reading the file seriously, so she said with a smile, "Okay, then please both adults read the remaining few files, and I'll make supper and breakfast right away." .”

The kitchen master Li just got up to light the fire, when he turned his head, he saw Su Xiaoxiao walking in, yawning, "You arrived very early today, you can correct your mistakes, you have a bright future!"

"Master Fat, I didn't sleep all night, okay?" Su Xiaoxiao continued to turn her neck while looking for food in the kitchen.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Master Li looked at Su Xiaoxiao's listless look, and said happily, "You boy, didn't you do something bad yesterday?"

Su Xiaoxiao laughed along with her smiling face, thinking, what bad things can she do?It doesn't take advantage.

The fat master made porridge, Su Xiaoxiao made a bunch of fried dumplings and salted flower rolls, and asked her to wrap the leftover meat filling into wontons.

When Su Xiaoxiao carried the food box into the library, she heard Zhuiming shouting from afar that she was starving to death. Fried dumplings, salted flower rolls, small wontons... Su Xiaoxiao found that Zhuiming had no image at all when eating. .

Smelling the aroma, Zhan Zhao also felt a little hungry. He handed a file in his hand to Su Xiaoxiao and reached out to pick up the chopsticks, "I found it, Ziyan. He died by hanging himself three years ago, an officer of Xu Caifeng's report."

Su Xiaoxiao took it over and took a closer look. Ziyan's original surname was Liu, and her name was Liu Sanmei. She was only 17 years old when she died.

She was sold into Yihong Courtyard at the age of 15, and the person who sold her was herself. During the two years in Yihong Courtyard, Zi Yan never quarreled with anyone or lost her temper with anyone.

The autopsy record attached to the dossier stated that the cause of Ziyan's death was hanging herself, but what was strange was that her neck and front and back bones were broken, and the nail of her right little finger was also broken. Food residues were found in Zi Yan's stomach.

Judging from the degree of food digestion, Zi Yan should be eating or just finished eating, why would a person who is eating or just full suddenly run to commit suicide.

Although the case was suspicious, Ziyan had no enemies, and the government found no other suspicious points.It was midnight when Ziyan died, and there were many people in Yihong courtyard.

The business of Yihong Courtyard was very good that day, so Mama Xu didn't pay attention to Ziyan. It was only during dinner the next day that someone asked about Ziyan.When everyone found her in Ziyan's room, her body had already been hung overnight. In the end, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture at the time decided that Ziyan had committed suicide, and Xu Caifeng took her body back to Yihong Courtyard.

"My lords, you should know where the cemetery five miles outside the city is!" Su Xiaoxiao asked while holding the file.

"What's so interesting about a graveyard?" Zhui Ming slurred his speech with a wonton in his mouth.

"There is nothing to see in the grave, but maybe the dead are nice." The worst plan is to dig up the grave and open the coffin, but even if she really does open the coffin for an autopsy, she may not dare to touch a person who has been dead for three years. unwilling to help her.

"Privately digging other people's graves is against the law," Zhan Zhao reminded.

"How can it be considered a private excavation?" Su Xiaoxiao blinked, "I am called a private excavation, but two adults, one is a member of the Shenhun Division, and the other is a person from Kaifeng Mansion. The government handles the case, how can this be considered a private excavation. "

The author has something to say:
