The Legend of the Royal Cat

Xuzhou Prefecture

"Xue Cheng, chief arrester of the Xuzhou Mansion, has met Mr. Zhan!" Is this the rumored Southern Xia-Yu Mao-Zhan Zhao? !When Xue Cheng saluted, he peeked at the young man in front of him, dressed in a dark red official uniform: two thick sword eyebrows, exuding a compelling heroic spirit but not arrogant; Under the long eyelashes, there is a faint glint in the black pupils—is it an illusion?It looks like a cat's eyes in the dark night; slightly frowned brows, high nose bridge, thin lips tightly pursed, calm and introverted.I have never seen such a profound and handsome facial features, such a serious and gentle youth.Even Xue Cheng, who had seen countless people, had to sigh with emotion.However, there are a lot of people with a good skin and a good skin these days. After all, they are too young and they come from the rivers and lakes. Is it reliable to do things? !Not to mention such an emergency situation!

Jiang Butou's thoughts are flying, Zhan Zhao just pretends not to know, he will attract attention wherever he goes, contempt, flattery, hatred, admiration, doubt, jealousy, gratitude - the best way to deal with it is Completely disregarded and devoted himself to official duties.

"Xue catcher doesn't need to be polite, the situation is urgent, and Zhan hopes that Xue catcher will help him a lot!" Zhan Zhao replied politely.

"Your Excellency Zhan, you are too polite. Your Excellency has been exhausted from traveling all the way, so let's rest first."

"No need, Xue Tutou's kindness, Zhanmou understands. Regarding this disaster relief, Zhan still has a few questions to ask Xue Tutou."

"Master Zhan, if you ask me, your subordinates will answer you." Xue Chengcheng was not good at bureaucratic red tape, and seeing Zhan Zhao's neat and straightforward behavior, he regained his bold nature.

"Xue Butou, along the way Zhan saw that there were still refugees pouring into Xuzhou City. I don't know if Xue Butou has a statistical record of the number and flow of refugees? Are the four city gates open to refugees? How many settlements are provided for refugees in the city?" Can the victims’ residences be protected from the cold? Can the elderly, weak, sick and disabled be registered and given special care? There are a total of…”

"Master Zhan," Xue Cheng never expected that Zhan Zhao, who was born in the Jianghu as a military officer, would be so thoughtful and thoughtful. He was immediately flustered by a series of questions, and hurriedly interrupted Zhan Zhao, rationalizing his thoughts and replying, "Reporting to Mr. Zhan, before the assassination of Mr. Ma, he ordered the opening of the four city gates to accept refugees, and set up scaffolding and pot porridge near each gate to accommodate foreign refugees. The victims' houses can still keep out the cold. The refugee statistics have already been implemented. However, because the entire government office is in constant panic over Lord Ma's murder, the statistics have been put on hold for a while."

"Zhan has always heard that Mr. Ma is a good official who is diligent in government and loves the people. What he saw and heard today really deserves his reputation! It's a pity—hateful—" It's a pity that such a good official was brutally killed; it's a pity that this murderous killer is still at large . "Xue Butou, I trouble you to mobilize the yamen servants in the mansion and divide them into six teams. One team will be stationed at each of the four city gates in the southeast and northwest. All the refugees who come and go will be registered in the register, and food will be distributed every day. The old, weak, sick and disabled must be taken care of. The two teams are divided into two groups day and night, patrolling the city to prevent the young people from taking advantage of the chaos to disturb the people and looting. If there are any criminals who violate the law and discipline, once they are found out, they will be severely punished. In addition, the order will be passed down, and all traders in the city shall not use it for any reason Stockpile the goods in a strange way, take the opportunity to drive up prices, and those who violate the order will be severely punished for the crime of disturbing social stability!"

"Yes, your subordinates obey!"

"After the catastrophe, there will be a catastrophe, which is critical to the lives of the people, so we have to prevent it. Xue arrests the head, can the medical center in the city provide free consultations?"

"Reporting to Mr. Zhan, Mr. Ma also called on the medical centers and pharmacies in the city to provide free medical treatment for the victims. After Mr. Ma was killed, a living Bodhisattva doctor Leng came to Xuzhou City. No outbreak has been reported among the victims."

"It's so good. The spring has turned cold recently, and the number of patients may increase suddenly. Xue Butou, here is a 5000 tael silver bill. Please, the accountant of the government office, give Shi Yiju the corresponding compensation for the medicine shop and medical center. I also ask them to do their best." Go to the clinic and go deep into the disaster victims to treat diseases and save lives." After entrusting Xue Tutou, Zhan Zhao thought in his heart who is that cold genius doctor who hangs the pot to help the world, and did he pass by here by chance or came here on purpose?

Xue Cheng in this room was deeply moved. Unexpectedly, for this disaster relief, the imperial court even allocated official money for such details!The emperor is holy, the common people are blessed!He hurriedly responded, "This subordinate obeys!"

"Xue Butou, where is Lord Ma's remains?" Looking at the darkening sky, Zhan Zhao decided to investigate the case overnight.

"In the mourning hall, it has been placed for a long time—" Xue Cheng's words were full of sadness.

"After you arrange the disaster relief matters, pass on your papers and relevant witnesses to the mourning hall to see me."

"Yes!" Xue Chenggang was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly remembered the carrier pigeon from Kaifeng Mansion that he had received in the morning, he was so urgent! "Lord Zhan, this morning Master Bao from Kaifeng Mansion sent a carrier pigeon. Xue Cheng was so confused that he almost forgot, please take a look at it, Lord Zhan!" After speaking, he took out the letter from his bosom and passed it on to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was also taken aback, if he hadn't been in a hurry, his lord would never have sent an order with a carrier pigeon.Could it be that something happened to Kaifeng Mansion? !Before leaving, the emperor asked the emperor to secretly assign two shadow guards to protect the safety of adults, and asked his friends in the rivers and lakes in Kaifeng to help take care of them. Hurry back to Kaifeng before the eighth. Bao Zheng, the Kaifeng government order!" The eighth day of the next month?No wonder Feige is sending the letter. It seems that your lord is fine, but something happened in Kaifeng.

"Master Zhan, but Master Bao has a new order?" Seeing Zhan Zhao frowning in thought, Xue Cheng couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"It's nothing, Mr. Bao asked me to return to Kaifeng Mansion before the eighth day of next month." Zhan Zhao smiled lightly.

"Oh, ah—?! The eighth day of the next month?! Isn't it twelve days left! From Xuzhou to Kaifeng, it will take about twenty days for Kuaima, Mr. Zhan, then you—won't you—" Immediately set off back to Kaifeng! ?

"Travel day and night, hurry up, Zhan is sure to return to Kaifeng in ten days. So - there are still two days to investigate the case. Time is tight, and Lao Xue will be arrested in these two days!"

"Master Zhan, what are you talking about, Xue Cheng will try his best to help Master Zhan track down the real culprit!" He traveled day and night, and returned to Kaifeng in ten days! ! !Looking at Zhan Zhao who was walking straight to the mourning hall, Xue Cheng had no other thoughts but admiration, and he couldn't help sighing secretly, Master Bao of Kaifeng Mansion has a desperately powerful cat with nine lives, it seems that the rumors are probably true !

The mourning hall, filled with the disgusting stench of rotting corpses

Zhan Zhao offered incense in front of the coffin, then turned to the coffin and bent down to inspect Ma Zhifu's body.Inside the coffin lies a headless corpse that has begun to rot. The force around the incision on the neck is very even. If you observe carefully, you can see that the incision spreads out in four directions with a slight slope.Undoing the shroud and observing, a strangely shaped wound on the left front chest came into view impressively.Zhan Zhao didn't look at it, but he couldn't help being shocked when he saw the unique cone-shaped wound.Fenshui Emei Thorn - Fan Jiangshu Jiang Ping's unique weapon in water!how so? !

The first four murdered officials were killed by the hidden weapon Tieyingzui of the Flying Eagle Gang, the secret poison Zi Luosha of the Tang Sect, the Seven Injury Fist of the Kongtong School, and the powerful Vajra Finger of the Shaolin Waijia. Refers to the world - no matter the killer organization or the famous family!However, each sect and sect has a large number of people and fish eyes are mixed. It is inevitable that some people will use the cover of the sect to do their own evil, and only rely on the number of martial arts, hidden weapons and poisons to convict the sect. Therefore, even though Grand Master Pang exerted heavy pressure from the imperial court, and felt anxious and distressed that the deceased would not be redressed, Zhan Zhao asked Mr. Bao to temporarily suppress the evidence he had collected, and invited friends from the world Look for hidden clues.However, the dead don't lie, and now, Ma Zhifu's body is pointing at a person instead of a sect, and this person is actually Jiang Ping, the fourth brother Jiang Ping.How could this not shock Zhan Zhao!However, Zhan Zhao is Zhan Zhao after all, and he realizes that investigations are the most taboo of impetuousness and emotion. After being shocked, he quickly calms down and continues to carefully examine Ma Zhifu's body, but no other scars or signs of poisoning are seen.

"Report to Mr. Zhan, the disaster relief has been arranged according to your instructions, and the witnesses related to Mr. Ma's murder have been brought!" Xue Cheng reported after seeing Zhan Zhao's autopsy.

"Xue is here to arrest the bosses, take them to the inner hall, Zhan has something to ask."

"As ordered!"
