[Zhan Zhaotongren] Hongchen

Chapter 5 The Pursuit of Life (Correction)

In Yihong Courtyard, Su Xiaoxiao was packing her belongings by herself in the firewood room. Actually, there was nothing to pack here, she was just waiting for Zhan Zhao to come back to find her.

Zhan Zhao went to find Mama Xu. She wanted to stay in Kaifeng Mansion to assist in handling the case. Naturally, he went to tell Mama Xu that Xiaofeng was still here to accompany her just now, but she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted so she persuaded Xiaofeng to leave. .

Along the way, she told Xiaofeng of her plan, and repeatedly promised that she would redeem Xiaofeng, but how could she guarantee it!After all, she is only leaving temporarily now, her deed of selling herself is still in the hands of Xu's mother, she is still a member of Yihong Courtyard, and there are still many troubles before.

Su Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed in a daze with a small bundle in her arms. Here are all her belongings, a whole set of rags, five taels of silver, a piece of white silk, and a small pendant given to her by Xiaofeng.

Thinking of Xiaofeng, Su Xiaoxiao feels confused, one can eat enough without being hungry, even if she runs away, it doesn't matter, but now there is Xiaofeng, whether she likes it or not, she absolutely can't leave Xiaofeng alone.

………………

When the sky was bright, Su Xiaoxiao was stretching contentedly on the big soft bed. This was a real bed, not a wooden frame that was casually built in a small woodshed.

Last night, no, it should be a few hours ago, when she and Zhan Zhao returned to Kaifeng Mansion, they were arranged in the guest room.

In the guest room, there are beds, quilts and pillows. This is the place where you can sleep. Su Xiaoxiao can't help but sigh - people really need to pursue!

When she used to sleep in a dilapidated temple or in a ruined temple, she thought it would be nice if there was a room with a bed. Later, when she slept in the woodshed of Yihong Courtyard, she thought that if the bed didn’t shake, the quilt could be warmer. Even better, now... now she sleeps in the guest room, the bed is warm and she doesn't have to worry about mice and cockroaches, it's just...

"Little brother, are you awake?" Su Xiaoxiao was still thinking wildly, when someone knocked on the door and asked.

"Oh, I'm up." It seemed a little outrageous not to go out after sleeping until this time, Su Xiaoxiao quickly cleared her throat and said, "Wait a minute, I'll come!"

Jumping up from the bed, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly put on her clothes and shoes, then ran to the door and opened it, "Is your lord looking for me?"

There was a servant standing outside the door, and when he saw Su Xiaoxiao's bleary-eyed look, he smiled, "It's not the lord who is looking for you, but the lord Zhui Ming from the six doors who is looking for you, he's waiting in the side hall, so I'll come over again See if you're awake."

"Uh..." Again?It came more than once, Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head, "Well, I'll go, let me wash my face first?"

Sure enough, they are under Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion, even the servants are so "friendly".

"Well, then you can wash up first, I'll tell Lord Zhuiming to wait a little longer, and I'll bring you some food by the way." The visitor nodded, and the adult told him to take good care of him.

Seeing that the person left, Su Xiaoxiao closed the door again.What kind of headhunters do you hate, you come to trouble people early in the morning.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled out a long white silk from last night's small bundle. She dug it out in Yihong Courtyard. She didn't know what it was used for before. It's good and long, so I put it away, and it's useful now.

Although she was wearing men's clothes in Yihongyuan before, everyone knew that she was a woman. Now in Kaifeng mansion, no one knows that she is a woman, so it's better to cover it up.

Tie one end of the white silk to the head of the bed and hold the other end in his hand.She took off her coat and inner clothes, and now she only has a small old apron on her body. Su Xiaoxiao pulled the cloth into the apron and wrapped it around her chest desperately.

I don't know if this will cause lobular hyperplasia. It's really a worrying fate. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't breathe but still felt that her breasts were big. In a fit of anger, she wrapped the remaining white silk around her stomach again. In this way, the top and bottom are almost even.

After wrapping up the white silk, she looked back and forth in the mirror, and it was okay... so she went on to get dressed.

After freshening up, Su Xiaoxiao followed the servant who came to call her to the side hall. Before entering the door, she saw the policeman who said she was the suspect yesterday sitting in it, "My lord, are you looking for me?"

After Su Xiaoxiao saluted, she stood with lowered eyes. Apart from chasing her life, there was only Su Xiaoxiao in this side hall. Even the servant who brought her in just now turned around and left.Su Xiaoxiao felt a little strange, why was there no one to accompany her?It can't be that this person is so unpopular that no one wants to talk to him.

"Your name is Su Xiaoxiao?" Zhui Ming tried his best to make his voice sound amiable, he did not forget the look that this man looked at him a few hours ago, "Do you know the man who died in Yihong Courtyard last night?"

"It's not acquaintance, the young master's surname is Lai, and he has been here twice before."

"How long have you been in Yihong Courtyard? Why do you want to make a living in a place like Yihong Courtyard?"

"I have only been in Yihong Courtyard for a few months, and when I return to adults, sometimes I have no choice to make a living."

"Then, was there anything special when he came last night?"

"No."

"Is anyone coming with him?"

"No."

"Did you hear what he said to anybody?"

"No."

"..." Zhui Minghen's teeth were itching, and he said nothing when asked, so how can he ask like this.Why is it always him who is unlucky every time he comes out to investigate a case, the master is partial. "Since you refuse to say anything, I think you can only follow me back to the six doors."

"My lord is not planning to torture to extract a confession?" Su Xiaoxiao finally changed her tone, Bao Zheng is still a real existence, these six doors are a legend, who knows what they will do.

"Hehe..." Zhui Ming didn't deny or admit it, and it was rare for him to be afraid, "You will know when you go."

Su Xiaoxiao was taken out of Kaifeng Mansion openly. It turned out that Kaifeng Mansion and Six Gates were just across the street, and after leaving the gate of Kaifeng Mansion and crossing a street, there was the God Catcher of Six Gates.

What a coincidence, why didn't she see that there was some kind of supernatural arrester here yesterday, and now she might not be able to hide even if she wanted to.

Bao Zheng is not here, Gongsun Ce is not here, and even Zhan Zhao is not here, what's the situation?Kaifeng mansion can take people away so casually?

It was almost noon, and there were many people on the street. It was only a few dozen steps for Su Xiaoxiao and Zhui Ming to go out from one door to another. She actually saw seven or eight girls coming to deliver things. Obviously there are more women, this is too attractive, is he a policeman or... what, Su Xiaoxiao pursed her mouth and looked away.

If we say that Kaifeng Mansion is still a yamen, with a front and back yard, then the Shenzhusi is a prison, and if we want to divide it, we can only distinguish between the administrative office and the law enforcement office.

Su Xiaoxiao followed her life through the front lobby, and was taken aback by the torture tools, official knives, water, fire and ruthless sticks around her. The difference between watching TV and being there is that this thing is too shocking, and some torture tools are dark , she could even smell blood.

In a bright room, there are already people in it. There are two people sitting at the table, one is an old man, and the other is the man in the wheelchair I saw that day. There is a man standing beside the wheelchair, not far from him, by the window There was also a man standing there, the door was open, Zhui Ming walked in without knocking, "Master, he refused to say anything, I can only bring it back."

Zhuge Yuan glanced at his apprentice, then shook his head and said, "You're taking things from the people again."

Zhuiming put down the things in his hands and shrugged innocently, then picked out a pear and ate it.

Su Xiaoxiao stood at the door and looked around the room. There were a lot of things on a big table, including the pile that Zhuiming put on it just now. An old man called Master by Zhuiming was sitting at one end of the table, and beside him was the wheelchair. on people.

It is not easy to make a wheelchair out of wood these days, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but take a second look.

"You are Su Xiaoxiao?" Zhuge Yuan turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao, "Why did you stay at the scene of the crime last night? But it's related to this case?"

Hearing someone ask, Su Xiaoxiao came back from the wooden wheelchair. Her biggest shortcoming is that she is curious about everything, "Master, I stay here only in the hope that no one will destroy the scene. If it is necessary to say that the villain is related to the case?" , it can only be said that the villain is a handyman in Yihong Courtyard, so it must be related."

"There are so many people in Yihong Courtyard, but you are the only one staying there, don't you find it strange?" Zhuge Yuan nodded and asked.

"Is it strange? Back to the adults, the villain didn't think it was so strange." Even if it was true, she couldn't admit it, Su Xiaoxiao made up her mind to bear it to death.

"Isn't it strange?" Zhui Ming interjected while eating a pear, "If it's a normal person, who can't hide when they see a murder case, who would stay and attract people's suspicion? Shut everyone out, and you said you were not suspected."

"My lord, if I originally wanted the officials to take me away, would it be okay if I did so?"

"Why?" The young man in the wooden wheelchair asked, "Why do you want the guards to take you away?"

"My lord, what is Yihong Courtyard? A good family certainly doesn't want to stay there any longer. I'm forced to stay there, and of course I want to leave if I have the chance." Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the person in the wheelchair, her voice was pleasant, He looks pretty good, too. I was too busy looking at the wheelchair just now to notice what the person sitting in the wheelchair looks like.

"You offended Pang Yu, so you were sold into Yihong Courtyard, but we checked, you are from the south of the Yangtze River, and you came from afar, how could you offend a son like Pang Yu as soon as you entered the city, so the only reasonable explanation is , You entered Yihong Courtyard for another purpose, you did it on purpose." Standing aside, Tie Shuo said.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the person who spoke. This person was the person who stood beside Zhui Ming last night. It seemed that he had done a lot of things all night. From what she heard, she seemed to be the most suspicious person.

"Why, have you nothing to say? Tell me, why did you sneak into Yihong Courtyard? Is it just to kill Lai Yonghua!" Zhui Ming threw away the leftover pear core and asked seriously.

It is reasonable to say so, Su Xiaoxiao blinked, "If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse. My lords, since you know that I am a commoner, why should I kill this Mr. Lai? Yesterday the lord said , Now more than one person has died. I don’t know any of those people, and I haven’t seen them. How can I kill them? If you just want to find someone to confess, then I have nothing to say and can only wait for me After my unjust death, entrust a dream to Mr. Bao, to see if he can restore my innocence."

Several people stared at Zhuiming together after listening to the novel, Zhuiming felt that he was innocent, he was just talking about it with Zhan Zhao yesterday.

"You!" Zhuiming pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and shook his fingers, he just said one sentence but he listened to him.

But Zhuge Yuan laughed out loud, "What a sharp mouth, how would you know that my god arrester will wrong the innocent."

Su Xiaoxiao is speechless, maybe she can't control her now.

This old man seems kind, but there is a limit to being able to teach such a powerful apprentice, no matter how kind he is.

She didn't deny that she had a feeling of resistance when she entered the God Detective Division. Who told the life chaser to say that she was a suspect, but now her life is in the hands of others, and the good or bad is unknown.

Zhuge Yuan was generous and didn't bother with him, but said in a deep voice, "For more than a month, three people died in Kaifeng City. The death conditions are exactly the same as Lai Yonghua you saw. One of them died in front of the Holy One. Long was furious and sent This case is handed over to the God Detective Division for a thorough investigation. So far, these are the only clues we can find."

Su Xiaoxiao looked along the old man's fingers, and among the things on the table, there were a few pieces of bones that she handed over to Bao Zheng yesterday. Although they looked exactly the same, if you looked closely, you would find that they were still different.The pattern engraved on it seems to be different. This thing must be related to the murder case.

It's just that Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand very well, just now they seemed to regard her as a suspect, and now they are talking so much to her again, what do they mean?

Not to mention that Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand, even Wuqing who was beside him didn't understand why the master said this to him, this person was still suspected, why the master suddenly trusted him so much.

Zhuge Yuan looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Brother, now we only have you besides this pile of useless things. The old man has told everything truthfully. I don't know if little brother can say something that we don't know. of?"

Knowing that the old man would not let her go so easily, Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "I really don't know much. I was in Yihong Courtyard when Lai Yonghua died, but he was upstairs and I was downstairs. , I have no idea how he was poisoned. Dongxue can’t poison, and she was terrified at the time, I’ve known Dongxue for a few months, but as far as I know, she doesn’t seem to be faking it.”

Zhuge Yuan continued to nod, and the others also understood that this Su Xiaoxiao was a master who took the soft rather than the hard, and the master did this because he wanted to know more about what happened last night.

"Lai Yonghua has been to Yihong Courtyard twice before, but he didn't have a special friendship with that girl, so after he came, his mother usually helped introduce the girl. Yesterday, Dongxue was free, so Dongxue went up. In the middle of the winter Xue went out once, and it was only a blink of an eye when she came back and entered the room." Su Xiaoxiao went on to say, repeating what she said to Bao Zheng yesterday. There will be some inevitable connection.

"You mean that this incident has nothing to do with Yihong Yuan, but just a coincidence?" Zhuge Yuan asked with a smile.

"My lord's letter?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at the old man in bewilderment. Once he said this, wouldn't he be afraid that he was deliberately exonerating Yihong Courtyard?

"Why not?" Zhuge Yuan nodded noncommittally, and then asked, "Since it has nothing to do with Yihong Yuan, it seems that the little brother cares about this matter..."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart, and said she still didn't trust her.

"Young master, it's time for you to drink your medicine."

Here, Su Xiaoxiao was talking about that, when he heard a clear voice shouting from the door.

Turning around, a tall and handsome girl was walking in with a tray.

This girl is a head taller than Su Xiaoxiao, dressed in a short black brocade skirt, she is more like a servant than a bodyguard, anyone who knows Su Xiaoxiao's martial arts can tell that this girl is definitely good at martial arts.

A handsome little face was as cold as ice, Su Xiaoxiao shuddered, thinking to herself, is this the so-called iceberg beauty?

The little girl walked up to Wuqing with a tray, brought the bowl of medicine to Wuqing, watched him drink it, and finally left the room with the empty bowl. During this process, Su Xiaoxiao didn't see any expression on the girl's face. That's great, that's all.

Su Xiaoxiao has a good impression of this cold beauty, not because of anything else, but because of this little girl's neat attire, and even her hair is simply tied into a ponytail. She has never seen this hairstyle since she arrived in the Northern Song Dynasty ,kind.
