Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss
Chapter 41 3 more in 1
It seemed that it wasn't because she was worrying too much, Bai Yutang also had the same thoughts as hers.
If the doctor can't kill Ren Daniu alive, it will directly lead to two results: First, Bao Zheng will pay attention to the case.The key witnesses of Er Yongkang Copper Pit who privately made copper coins were silenced.
With Bao Zheng's character, he will definitely not let this big case go unnoticed, he must find a way to find evidence and reveal the truth of the case.
Yongkang, Wuzhou is far away from Tokyo, and the case of privately forging copper coins is particularly serious because it involves Jiangning Mansion's protection. It is natural that Bao Zheng would choose to investigate in person.
Therefore, the final result of killing Ren Daniu if the doctor is unable to live is that Bao Zheng will go to Yongkang, Wuzhou to investigate the case in person.
Yi Buhuo was worried that if he took the initiative to be a witness and provided a statement to the Kaifeng government, it would arouse suspicion, so he deliberately designed his appearance to be discovered, making himself appear to be in a passive position.
Yi Buhuo and Master Ju are friends, and he knows that Wang Chuang has friendship with Bai Yutang.And Bai Yutang has been chasing after him since the case of Daniel, and he will definitely not let him go easily.So as long as he shows up in Yanling and discloses the news to Wang Chuang through Master Ju, he will surely attract Bai Yutang to come to Yanling to arrest him.
Because Yibuhuo identified the mastermind Cui who was behind the smuggling of copper coins in Yongkang Tongkeng, the relationship is serious.After the people in Kaifeng Mansion found out that the confession, letters and stolen goods were not forged, they would definitely report the situation to Bao Zheng.
When Bao Zheng arrived in Wuzhou, what would he do if he found out that Master Cui was behind Yongkang's private manufacturing of copper coins, and the evidence was solid?With Bao Zheng's staunch and unselfish temperament, it is very likely that Chief Cui will be directly held accountable.
This time when he went to Yongkang, Bao Zheng was going on tour in a low-clothes at first, and his entourage was only Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao, Chao Chao, etc., so the military equipment must be insufficient.
And Master Cui has been in charge of the Yongkang Tongkeng for many years, and he is doing such a mind-boggling job as privately making copper coins, so there must be some people under his command.
Once the two sides confront each other directly, it is very likely that the saying "a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake" will probably be followed, and Bao Zheng and others will be in danger.
Wang Chuang couldn't figure out the deep meaning. After several inquiries and explanations, he suddenly understood.
He found that Su Yuan and Bai Yutang were both in a hurry, so he hurriedly comforted them: "I don't think it's easy for them to confront each other. Mr. Gongsun is resourceful, and he will definitely help Mr. Bao with ideas and advise Mr. Bao to proceed with caution."
Bai Yutang said coldly: "It's useless. If this is the purpose of the doctor's death, he must have figured out a way to let Master Cui of Yongkang Tongkeng know that Mr. Bao has the evidence of his crime. Once he knows Mr. Bao They are in Yongkang to investigate the case, and they are destined to die after being caught anyway, do you think he will go to the bottom of the boat just to have a chance of survival?"
Wang Chuang was stunned, then nodded emphatically, saying yes.
This is the reason why the poor don't chase after them. If they are cornered, they will naturally fight back.
"Then what should we do? Hurry up and bring someone to support Mr. Bao?" Wang Chuang suggested.
Bai Yutang glanced at Su Yuan and wanted to leave immediately.
"It's the last time you should show your courage. This matter cannot be solved by one person alone." Su Yuan hurriedly said to Bai Yutang's back.
Bai Yutang stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Su Yuan, "Then what's your opinion?"
Su Yuan looked at Bai Yutang's white clothes.
"Fifth Master wants to rush to Yongkang immediately, that's no problem, but please trouble Fifth Master to disguise himself and keep a low profile so that no one will recognize you. If you can inform Lord Bao and the others as soon as possible to avoid direct conflict with Master Cui, then It would be best. I’ll go back to Kaifeng Mansion to find Old Magistrate Zhou. He has many ideas and is very popular. He should have a way to ask someone to dispatch troops as soon as possible to Yongkang to support Mr. Bao and the others.”
"A mere master, who can calculate Mr. Bao, is it possible that he can still stop me?"
What Bai Yutang meant was that the king should be captured first when the thief is captured, and everything will be solved naturally when he captures Master Cui.
"Then Master Cui, if it's so simple, why bother to make such calculations if you can't get a doctor? I think he would like you to pass by like this, just to take over everyone in Kaifeng Mansion."
Su Yuan reminded Bai Yutang to recall carefully, how many times he had used Chinese medicine to calculate how many times he would die.
Bai Yutang's eyes were heavy, and from the strength of his grip on the scabbard, it could be seen how angry he was at this moment.
Su Yuan threw a bag of salt and pepper almonds to Bai Yutang, and told him, "Eat it on the road, you look good in black clothes."
Bai Yutang raised his eyes and glanced at Su Yuan again, then turned and left.
Sun He held his breath and quietly stretched his neck, looking at the back of Bai Yutang leaving, always felt that Bai Shashen's leaving posture was very decisive.
"Boss, is fifth master angry? Can he listen to you?"
"I can listen." Su Yuan affirmed.
"How do you know?" Sun He was puzzled.
According to her understanding from many sources, Fifth Master Bai's temperament has always been flamboyant and unrestrained, and he does not listen to other people's opinions easily.
"Did you see that he didn't throw away the bag of almonds I gave him?"
Su Yuan gave Sun Hefei a look of 'it's so simple'.
Sun He: "!!!"
Boss is so smart!Actually tested the answer with almonds!
After Su Yuan arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, he reported the situation to Judge Zhou.Judge Zhou attached great importance to this matter, and immediately went to the mansion of Eight Sage Kings for help.
Su Yuan stayed in the prison alone, interrogating the doctor but failed.
"Why are you targeting Kaifeng Mansion so much? Master Bao?"
Doctor Buhuo laughed, "Why do you ask this question? I, Doctor Buhuo, always do things according to my own whim, and it's all up to my own mood. If I want money, I take it and work. I think my son is arguing, so I send him to see him." Hades. Seeing that your Kaifeng mansion has worked so hard to investigate the case, and even used women, I felt sympathetic and gave you the evidence!"
"Then you live a pretty chic life." Su Yuan echoed.
"That is." Yihuo agreed uncomfortably.
"You're like—"
Su Yuan casually picked up a red-hot iron and waved it twice in front of Yi Buhuo's eyes, each time he was within easy reach of Yi Buhuo's eyes, causing Yi Buhuo to subconsciously close his eyes in fright, and then retreated.
"Like this soldering iron, it has the chicness to be manipulated by others, so extraordinary!"
Only then did Yi Buhuo realize that Su Yuan's praise of "chic" was actually mocking him.
She even said that he was being manipulated by others... How could she know?And she was waving the red branding iron in a seemingly chaotic manner just now, every time he thought she would miss it and burn it on his eyes, but every time she withdrew at the last moment.This shouldn't be a coincidence, if it's just dancing casually, it's impossible to control it so precisely!
Yi Buhuo became terrified. The faint sense of panic that had arisen in his heart when he looked at Su Yuan at the beginning was completely clear now.It's not his illusion, this woman is very problematic, crazier than him!
"Who is that person?" Su Yuan asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yi Buhuo avoided Su Yuan's eyes, turned his head and poked his neck.
"When you attacked Ren Daniu, there were witnesses who saw that four strong men carried Ren Daniu away." Su Yuan looked at Yi Buhuo's thin body, "You must not be among the four, and we are arresting you." When you were with Master Ju, you didn’t see these four strong men either. This shows that there are other people behind you, and they just went there temporarily to help you.”
"That's someone I hired with money." Yi Buhuo immediately explained.
"Okay, then just tell me where you hired the person, I'll check. If you can't tell, then I'm right." Su Yuan seemed very reasonable when he spoke.
Yi Buhuo held back his anger and stared at Su Yuan, but he couldn't tell.
"How did you meet Master Ju?"
Master Ju is from Haizhou. He came to Beijing to make a living because of his failure in the imperial examination.At first he taught in the Cao family school, and later, after being introduced by an old Confucian of the Cao family, he became Wang Chuang's teacher.Speaking of it, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the lineage of Marquis Pingyuan also belongs to the Cao family.
"I met him by chance and saw that he was a money-grubbing person, so I lured him with money, and he was really at my mercy."
"Nonsense." Su Yuan gently denied.
Yi Buhuo stared at Su Yuan again, not understanding why this woman's tone was without hesitation every time she denied it, as if she had witnessed the process of his relationship with Master Ju back then.
"If he is greedy for money and confesses you to Wang Chuang, he will naturally have glory and wealth, and live a decent life. You are a gangster, how can you be richer than Zhenyuan Hou's mansion? You have to take risks for you, and you have to hide like a mouse crossing the street. It seems that it's not worth it no matter how you think about it." Su Yuan deduced.
Yi Buhuo once again had nothing to say.
"Look, you also know that just by yourself, Master Ju doesn't like you at all. So there are people behind you."
Su Yuan asked the doctor again, who is that person?
Yi Buhuo snorted coldly, and didn't intend to answer.
"Let me think about it, you are such a smart and conceited person, why would you be so desperate to serve another person? He saved you, is your benefactor? He threatened you with your weakness, so that you have to obey? Or two or both?"
In the process of guessing, Su Yuan's eyes flickered when he saw the doctor, and his expression was stiff, knowing that there was always a reason that was correct.
"Actually, I don't care about the reason at all. I have already obtained the result I wanted, and you didn't deny the existence of this person to me just now." Su Yuan showed his triumphant expression without hesitation.
Only then did Yi Buhuo realize that he had been tricked, and stared at Su Yuan even more angrily.He clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth fiercely. There were bulging veins on his neck and forehead.
"Seeing how you reacted so angrily, it seems that that person is kind to you." Su Yuan made another judgment.
"Get out! Get out!" Yi Buhuo yelled.
"It turns out that people who like to play tricks don't like being played by others."
Su Yuan suddenly raised the soldering iron, and quickly pressed it in the direction of the doctor's head.
Yi Buhuo instinctively closed his eyes to avoid it again, but he thought that Su Yuan was also trying to scare him this time.But then he heard a sizzling sound, and an unpleasant smell like burnt leather penetrated into his nostrils.
Doctor Buhuo shook his arms and trembled all over.He bit his lower lip tightly, wanting to endure the pain so as not to cry out.
Seeing that he had bitten his lip and there was blood on the edge of his mouth, Su Yuan put away the soldering iron and blew on the burnt hair remaining on the soldering iron.
"Look, you're so scared, it turns out that if you can't survive the doctor, you're afraid you won't survive."
Only then did Yi Buhuo realize that there was no pain on his body, it turned out that his hair was only burnt.When going to Kaifeng Mansion in a prison car, Yi Buhuo combed his loose hair, tore a strip of cloth from his clothes, and tied a bun on top of his head.Just now, Su Yuan's soldering iron was pressed on his bun.
Being tricked again and being mercilessly ridiculed made the doctor so angry that he couldn't get any more angry.Indeed, as Su Yuan said, he only likes to play tricks on people, and he doesn't like to be played by others!
Doctor Buhuo was so angry that he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
On the long table were the instruments of torture that Bai Fuzao had prepared.
Su Yuan fiddled with it and found that there were many instruments of torture that he didn't know.For example, this long wire has a small hook on its head, but I don't know what it is for.
Su Yuan summoned Bai Fu to ask what it was.
Bai Fu looked at what Su Yuan was holding, and twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment: "This...is not easy to explain."
Su Yuan understood that this thing must be used in places where it is inconvenient to explain it to her.
Bai Yutang's vicious and vicious methods really lived up to his reputation.
When Yi Buhuo heard the conversation between the two, he immediately thought of something, and felt a little afraid of the torture instrument.
"By the way, what did you say earlier. How many sons will you have as Fifth Master Bai wants to kill you?"
In this situation, hearing Su Yuan mention this incident, Yi Buhuo became even more terrified. They were planning to use the cruelest punishment to kill him offspring!
Even before using torture, just looking at the torture instrument, if the doctor can't survive, he feels that somewhere in himself is starting to hurt.
Bai Fu: "..."
Miss Su seems to know a little bit more?He didn't explain a word, how did she know?Now that his fifth master knew about this, would he think he was the one who informed him?Conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't lead Miss Su badly!
"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to recruit?" Su Yuan asked the doctor again, his voice remained calm.
For Bai Fu who had just entered the door in this scene, he just felt that Miss Su was too easy-going to interrogate the prisoner in this way. How could this question lead to the result?The words are too gentle and well-behaved, it is impossible to deter the prisoner.
The doctor couldn't live, but because of Su Yuan's questioning, his whole body tensed up, and cold sweat broke out quickly.He stared at Su Yuan angrily, gritted his teeth fiercely, and a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth instantly.
"Not good! The prisoner committed suicide by chewing his tongue!" Bai Fu exclaimed.
He hurriedly called for someone to come and deal with the medical failure together, to see if there was still a chance to save him.
Su Yuan watched with cold eyes that Yi Buhuo's face gradually turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and the pupils in his half-opened eyes were dissipating.
When the person was dead and motionless, Su Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the instrument of torture in his hand. It was a pity that he threw it back on the table. It was impossible to witness the grand occasion of its use today.
Bai Fu tossed about for a while, and found that he still couldn't be rescued, so he sighed twice.It's a pity that this person committed suicide suddenly, and they haven't had time to torture him for clues in the future.But since this guy has the determination to kill himself by chewing his tongue, even if he uses torture, he won't get anything out of torture.
Seeing that Su Yuan was still standing in the corner in a daze, Bai Fu hurried over to comfort Su Yuan not to be afraid, and persuaded Su Yuan to leave the prison to get some air.For a well-behaved girl like her, seeing a prisoner gossip suddenly must have been a big shock.
Afterwards, Bai Fu thoughtfully prepared soothing soup for Su Yuan, and some appetizing fruit snacks, so that Su Yuan could eat something to calm down the shock, so that he didn't have to think about the horrible scene in the prison.
"I didn't expect him to commit suicide in fear of crime. It's a good deal for him!" Sun He couldn't be missing when there was food. She patted the table to express her indignation while eating.
"How is Master Ju?" Su Yuan asked.
"The man is still in a coma, but the doctor has given him a pulse. If he dies, he will probably wake up after two days of rest." Bai Fu said.
The doctor is determined to die, which makes Su Yuan feel that the people behind him are not simple.
"At the beginning, I was worried that there would be thieves intercepting me on the way. I was afraid that Mr. Bao would not receive the news, so I specially sent two people one after another to spread the news."
But I didn't expect that people's calculations were based on this news.
It is difficult for ordinary people to penetrate people's hearts and have such meticulous calculations.Not exaggerating, very natural, but extremely harmful.
Bai Fu hurriedly persuaded: "It's not Miss Su's fault, who would have expected such a scheme!"
Judge Zhou came back at dusk.
He immediately saw Su Yuan and told her to rest assured.He has already reported the matter to the Eight Sage Kings, and the prince has also reported to the emperor. The imperial court will dispatch soldiers and horses nearby to assist Bao Zheng and others around Wuzhou. At the same time, he will also control the Jiangning Mansion. After checking the situation of the Jiangning Mansion , and then judge.
"There is an urgent summons from the imperial court this time, so you shouldn't be on a business trip. Don't worry. But fortunately, you discovered this matter early, and you saw through the collusion between Yi Buhuo and Master Ju, and you know that they deliberately acted for another purpose. If Otherwise, if we know the situation later, it will be even more difficult to say what Master Bao and the others will encounter in Yongkang." Judge Zhou said with emotion.
After all, Tokyo is far away from Yongkang, even if there is an urgent summons from the imperial court, it is very worrying.
Sun He prayed: "I hope Mr. Bao and the others will slow down, and it will take a few days to reach Yongkang. Oh, I really hope that I am in Yongkang now, so that I can help."
"Eh? Or should we go too?" Sun He suddenly stood up and proposed to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan shook his head, and immediately rejected Sun He's proposal.
If they are leaving now, it will definitely not be as fast as the imperial court hastened the summons to mobilize troops and horses to directly control Yongkang.Besides, they had never been to Wuzhou, and they were not familiar with the terrain there, so they might not be able to help them in a hurry.But Bai Yutang's hometown is there, and there are many acquaintances, if he can catch up in time, maybe it will be useful.
Moreover, she had promised Bao Zheng to stay in Kaifeng mansion to help the old judge Zhou guard the area of Gyeonggi.No one knows if there will be other things happening here in Gyeonggi in the future. If the other party's purpose is to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and they leave, wouldn't it be the thief's intention.In short, both the front and the rear must be guarded well, so that the enemy cannot take advantage of it.
Su Yuan suggested that Judge Zhou should increase the number of patrols of the various military patrols in Tokyo, and at the same time notify the subordinate counties in Gyeonggi Province that any abnormal situation, no matter how small, should be reported to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Judge Zhou nodded his approval again and again, praising Su Yuan for his thoughtfulness.Without her reminder, it would be easy for him, an old man, to be overlooked.
"Especially in the city of Tokyo, we must strengthen our vigilance."
Judge Zhou twirled his beard and pondered for a while, then wrote two letters.Let him know the commander of the guarding army first, this is his old friend, please tell him a few more words about his subordinates, pay more attention when patrolling the guarding city recently.
"In a few days it will be the Xiantian Festival, and you must also pay attention to lighting the lamps. I will tell the old friends in the Ministry of Rites to be careful when they prepare things."
Only then did Su Yuan remember that in another eight days, it will be the Xiantian Festival on the first day of July.
Xiantian Festival is the birthday of Zhao Xuanlang, the ancestor of the Zhao family. It is a grand festival, and officials all over the country will have a full five-day holiday.
Seven days before the festival, all prefectures, governments, military and prisons in the two capitals will build temples to set up sacrifices and stop slaughtering.On the day of the festival, lanterns are lit in the capital, and all the scholars and common people will have a feast. ①
Counting the days, it will be a day before the dojo will be opened.No wonder Su Yuan felt that the people in the mansion seemed to be busier than before in the past few days. It turned out that they were all busy with the affairs of Xiantian Festival.
Su Yuan's expression froze, as if he suddenly thought of something important.
The old judge Zhou was suddenly made very nervous by her expression, and hurriedly asked Su Yuan if he thought of any important clues in the case again.
"It has nothing to do with the case. The junior has other things to do. If there is no other order, I won't talk to you, old man." After Su Yuan finished speaking, he hurriedly saluted and said goodbye to the old judge Zhou.
Elder Judge Zhou opened his eyes wide, looked at Su Yuan's leaving back, frowned after thinking for a while, and then called the little officials around him to follow.
"I think this girl is a little weird. Don't worry about anything serious. I'm afraid that an old man like me will not be able to bear it after hearing this, so I deliberately kept it secret. Follow up and have a look!"
The little official agreed and went immediately.
Su Yuan dragged Sun He back to the room, which startled Sun He.
"What's the matter? What's the matter? Is there something important that the boss didn't dare to tell Judge Zhou?" Sun He asked extremely nervously.
"In two days it will be the Innate Festival." Su Yuan frowned and said seriously.
"Yeah, it's almost the Innate Festival, but what's the matter?" Sun He was still puzzled.
Su Yuan stretched her head out of the door to look left and right, after making sure that there was no one outside, she closed the door, pulled Sun He and whispered.
"After tomorrow, slaughtering will be prohibited for seven consecutive days. In other words, if we don't hoard meat, we will not be able to eat meat for seven consecutive days."
"Ah—" Sun He suddenly realized, "That's right, this is a big deal! I'll hire a car tomorrow morning and buy a carload of meat, which is enough for us for seven days! But it seems that I can only buy more bacon, Salted fish and the like, it’s so hot now, fresh meat won’t last for seven days.”
"There is an icehouse in the mansion."
Sun He was about to feel that this idea is good.
"It's a pity it can't be used!" Su Yuan added with emotion.
The affairs of the icehouse in Kaifeng Mansion are not under her control, and she thinks it is basically impossible for her to use the public for personal gain in this regard.Besides, if everyone knew about her hoarding of meat, it would be embarrassing not to distinguish between them, but how could the meat be held together?One point is gone, and so is her happiness.
"Then what should we do? We can only eat bacon and salted fish for seven days." Sun He fainted, she also loves meat, on this point she and the boss are very consistent.
It should be said that when a person encounters a desperate situation, he will search his guts and try his best to use all available resources.Su Yuan finally remembered what Su Fangming had told her, that if she had any troubles, she could go to Shopkeeper Lou of Xianrenlou to solve them.
She had already agreed to help Su Fangming first, and it would not be too much to ask him to come back with some help.
So the next day, Su Yuan and Sun He arranged for shopkeeper Lou to deal with the stockpiled meat.
In the afternoon, after Su Fangming checked the accounts of each store at the end of the month, he asked shopkeeper Lou if he had been approached by Su Yuan recently.
"Master asked, Miss Su just came to see the villain this morning."
"Oh?" Su Fangming looked at Shopkeeper Lou and asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
"It is said that they are borrowing the icehouse to hide the corpse." Shopkeeper Lou also followed Su Yuan's posture and sold off first.
Su Fangming raised his eyebrows, his eyes were very serious.
"Carcasses of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish."
Shopkeeper Lou explained with a smile, and then he saw Su Fangming shooting him with unkind eyes, Shopkeeper Lou waved his hands to show his innocence.
"That's not what the villain said on purpose, it's Miss Su's original words."
Su Fangming laughed helplessly, and warned Shopkeeper Lou to deduct his monthly money if he said such words next time.
"I heard that Kaifeng Mansion seems to be not peaceful recently." Shopkeeper Lou suddenly said seriously, "A prisoner committed suicide by chewing his tongue, and a famous doctor in the world is not alive. Coincidentally, the villain met this prisoner in Xianren Building a month ago. That day, he and the master stayed in Room No. [-] of Tianzi for about a stick of incense. At that time, he was dressed as a doctor and carried a medicine box on his back. The villain thought that the master was not feeling well, and he was afraid that his wife would worry, so he I specially asked the doctor to look outside."
Today, the prison van escorting Yi Buhuo from Kaifeng Mansion happened to pass by the Immortal Building. Even though the doctor in the prison van was disheveled, Shopkeeper Lou recognized him at a glance.
Su Fangming's face turned indifferent. After he settled the accounts, he circled two places where there were mistakes, and ordered the shopkeeper Lou to dispose of him.Anyone who dares to make false accounts and steal money under his nose, will never get involved with the Su family in this life.
After returning home, Su Fangming immediately went to find Su Jinjing.
Li Shi and Su Jinjing were discussing how to celebrate the Innate Festival, which band to invite actors to perform songs and dances, and also to determine the banquet menu and the list of guests.
Seeing Su Fangming coming, Mrs. Li hurriedly smiled and beckoned him to sit down quickly, handed him the list she had prepared for Su Fangming, and asked him if there were any omissions in the list.
After Su Fangming took it over and took a look, he said no.
Li smiled and continued to confirm the follow-up matters with Su Jinjing. After chatting for a while, she saw that Su Fangming had been looking at Su Jinjing as if she had something to say, and knew that she should avoid it.Mrs. Li kindly excused that she had something to do, and left with various lists.
"Father doesn't know a doctor?" Su Fangming cut to the chase.
Su Jinjing originally thought that Su Fangming had business matters to tell him, but when he heard him mentioning that the doctor could not survive, he froze for a moment, then glared at Su Fangming angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about, how could I know him!"
"In that case, father already knew who the doctor was." Su Fangming concluded.
Su Jinjing wanted to deny it, but then he realized that his direct denial just now was equivalent to admitting in disguise that he knew who the doctor was.Otherwise, his immediate reaction should be to ask who this person is and what he does.
He has no defense against his eldest son.
"I know this person. I heard that his reputation in Jianghu is not very good." Su Jinjing's tone was calmer.
"Father knows he has a bad reputation?"
Su Fangming actually wanted to say: Knowing that he is not a good person, why do you still want to see him?
But he couldn't say that, once he said it, Su Jinjing would definitely suspect Shopkeeper Lou.Su Fangming didn't want to expose his confidant to Su Fangming too early, so he could only hide it for the time being.
"Well, of course I know. When chatting with friends over wine, there will always be some Jianghu affairs. I heard that the doctor can't kill this man, so he is very ruthless. He is the only one in the Jianghu who can compare with Bai Yutang." Su Jinjing Trying to treat it as a small talk, I chatted with Su Fangming.
Su Fangming smiled and said goodbye politely.
"Stop!" Su Jinjing called to stop him, "Why did you suddenly ask him?"
"Yi Buhuo was captured by the Kaifeng Mansion." Su Fangming turned his eyes to look at Su Jinjing, "My son has an acquaintance in Kaifeng Mansion, and said that when he passed by the interrogation room, he seemed to hear Yi Buhuo mention his father's name. The son naturally If you don't believe me, I came here to ask my father."
"What!" Su Jinjing stood up suddenly, knocked over the tea bowl on the table, and asked Su Fangming with a look of shock, "Did the doctor mention me to the people in Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Isn't it true that father doesn't know the doctor and can't live? Then there is no need to worry, as the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting. There is no such thing at all. It is absolutely impossible for the Kaifeng government to wrong the father casually."
Su Jinjing's complexion was very bad, and hearing Su Fangming's words made him even more angry.He waved his hand irritably and sent Su Fangming to leave quickly.
After Su Fangming left, he immediately ordered someone to monitor Su Jinjing.
He wants to know his every move.
……
"Boss, do you think Master Bao and the others will be fine in Yongkang?" When Sun He was helping Su Yuan pickle the chicken, he expressed his worries to Su Yuan again.
"I don't know." Su Yuan couldn't make an accurate judgment on things that couldn't be determined.
However, Su Yuan felt that there was a high probability that he should be fine.Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce are thoughtful people, and Zhan Zhao and Chao Chao are not inferior in martial arts.Moreover, the situation here was discovered relatively early, so it should be possible to recover in time.But if something really happens, it means that the opponent is very strong, and their luck is extremely bad, then they can only accept their fate.
"Then what should we do if there is an accident? Boss will be very sad, right?" Sun He became depressed, and his eyes gradually turned red.
"I will help with their funeral and burn paper for them every Qingming Festival." After Su Yuan prepared the sauce, he poured it directly on the chicken.
Sun He, who was feeling sad, stopped abruptly, and looked at Su Yuan in surprise: "Is this the end?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Su Yuan asked back, "I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life."
Sun He was blocked by Su Yuan's words, and then he reacted and argued: "Sad, isn't the boss sad? Crying and hurting? I didn't sleep well last night, and I was worried all night."
"Well, I will be sad." Su Yuan replied.
Sun He: "..."
But I don't think your calm look looks like that at all.
"But it's useless to be sad. I will try to shorten this time and do other meaningful things." Such as roasting chicken.
She is a person who does not have too much sadness, because the harsh environment never allows her to have too many fragile or broken emotions.Her sadness must be just right, no longer than 3 minutes, usually less than a second.
Considering Sun He's ability to bear, Su Yuan did not tell her that she was sad for less than a second.
"Boss is amazing, and I want to learn from him. Actually, I understand this truth. The dead are like this, and the living are useless no matter how sad they are. After all, they must live well, but it is very difficult for me. My grandmother When I passed away, I cried so much that I passed out, and every time I think about it for the next three years, I still can’t help crying, and I’ve been in a bad mood all day.”
"Then you should control your emotions."
Su Yuan stuffed the sour pear into the belly of the chicken and baked it in the stove.This clay stove was built by Su Yuan herself, and the heat still needs to be tested. When Bao Zheng and the others come back, she will definitely be able to bake a perfectly cooked roast chicken for them to eat.
"By the way, your house should be cleaned up, especially the dust on the beams. It dazzled my eyes yesterday."
Sun He agreed with "hmmm", saying that she would clean up in a while.
Let's talk about the little official, after following Su Yuan around, he went to the old judge Zhou to report the situation.
"Miss Su seems to be in a bad mood. She went to find Miss Sun yesterday, and the two of them stayed in the house for a long time. It felt like the two sisters were secretly sad. Because later, when the villain saw Miss Su coming out, his eyes were a little red. , as if crying.
Then on the second day, the two went out, bought a lot of things, and cooked a lot of food in the kitchen.The villain felt that Ms. Su must be overly sad and had no way to resolve it, so he listened to Ms. Sun's opinion and wanted to turn grief and anger into appetite. "
Judge Zhou praised with a sigh: "This child has a sincere temperament, which is very rare."
……
The next day, Su Yuan went to the various avenues in the Gyeonggi area to patrol around. After finding nothing wrong, he went back to Kaifeng Mansion to rest.In the next few days, until the day before the Innate Festival, it has been like this.
On the night of Xiantian Festival, Jinming Pond is very lively, with various lanterns hanging high, especially the Zhangyu high lanterns that look like several Taoist gods and kings are the most conspicuous. Many people will worship and make wishes in front of the lanterns.
Wazi, Zhouqiao Night Market and other places are also very lively, full of people everywhere, and pedestrians have to touch shoulders when walking.
Su Yuan led the servants of the Kaifeng government office, together with the city guards, to supervise and maintain order.By the end of the night, everything went smoothly and there was no accident.
"What, we are so nervous every day, and it turned out to be useless!"
After Sun He complained, he followed Su Yuan back to the Kaifeng mansion, and patted off the dust accumulated on his shoulders after a day of patrolling.
Elder Judge Zhou hurried over at this moment, and happily said to Su Yuan, "Your Majesty Bao has heard that everything is fine, so you can rest assured. After the trial of the Yongkang Tongkeng case is over, you will return to Beijing in a few days."
The old judge Zhou told Su Yuan that the letter came along with the eight hundred li urgent report to the court, so the news came so quickly.
"Wow, the report from the imperial court is still very good. If we run by ourselves, it will take half a month to get the news." Sun He exclaimed.
"It's good that nothing happens inside and outside the city." Su Yuan said so, but his emotions were not high.
Judge Zhou said with a smile: "When he comes back this time, you can prepare a table of delicious food to welcome him. Don't forget to call my old man when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I won't forget you old man. It's getting late enough, don't stay up late." Su Yuan advised the old judge Zhou to go home early and rest.
The old judge Zhou agreed, got on the soft sedan chair, and ordered the bearer to go home quickly.
Judge Zhou's house was about two sticks of incense away from Kaifeng Mansion, and it was late at night, so naturally there were no people on the road.After carrying the sedan chair to the East Street, the bearer followed the usual route and turned into the alley.
Suddenly, eight men in black were standing across the road, holding big knives, blocking their way.
The bearers panicked, and the one in the front immediately screamed and wanted to call someone, but the man in black wiped his neck with a knife.The remaining three bearers were so frightened that they fell to the ground. They were all so frightened that they dared not make a sound.
The old judge Zhou still knew the situation in the sedan chair, and opened the curtain while asking what was wrong.
The old judge Zhou saw the dead bearer in front of the sedan chair at a glance, with blood flowing all over the floor.He was shocked and looked at the men in black in fear.
"If you want to kill this old man, you can do it here. These bearers are innocent, so there is no need to hurt them." Old Judge Zhou said in a haunted voice.
The man in black didn't say anything, but he didn't make any extra moves to the bearers.
Seeing this, the bearers ran away in a hurry.
The leading man in black immediately raised his big knife, and slashed at Old Judge Zhou's brow——
Judge Zhou knew that he couldn't escape, so he closed his eyes.
When Su Yuan came running out of breath, just seeing this scene, she immediately flew out the kitchen knife in her hand, and slashed the head of the man in black who was about to commit murder.
The other seven men in black were very surprised when they saw Su Yuan appearing suddenly, but they couldn't care less about wondering why this woman would appear suddenly and have such good skills, so they all raised their knives and attacked together.
However, they never expected that they were so numerous, with seven enemies and one, each of them was strong and taller than this woman by a head, but they were defeated in the blink of an eye, their heads were in different places, and they didn't even have a chance to call for help!
Judge Zhou closed his eyes for a long time, but he didn't feel the pain from his neck, and he heard a lot of "plopping" sounds one after another.He tried to slowly open his eyes, and with the faint light from the lantern hanging on the sedan chair, he could see the scene in front of him clearly.
The old judge Zhou was so frightened that he took two steps back in a row, and sat back in the sedan chair.
Every day!
If the doctor can't kill Ren Daniu alive, it will directly lead to two results: First, Bao Zheng will pay attention to the case.The key witnesses of Er Yongkang Copper Pit who privately made copper coins were silenced.
With Bao Zheng's character, he will definitely not let this big case go unnoticed, he must find a way to find evidence and reveal the truth of the case.
Yongkang, Wuzhou is far away from Tokyo, and the case of privately forging copper coins is particularly serious because it involves Jiangning Mansion's protection. It is natural that Bao Zheng would choose to investigate in person.
Therefore, the final result of killing Ren Daniu if the doctor is unable to live is that Bao Zheng will go to Yongkang, Wuzhou to investigate the case in person.
Yi Buhuo was worried that if he took the initiative to be a witness and provided a statement to the Kaifeng government, it would arouse suspicion, so he deliberately designed his appearance to be discovered, making himself appear to be in a passive position.
Yi Buhuo and Master Ju are friends, and he knows that Wang Chuang has friendship with Bai Yutang.And Bai Yutang has been chasing after him since the case of Daniel, and he will definitely not let him go easily.So as long as he shows up in Yanling and discloses the news to Wang Chuang through Master Ju, he will surely attract Bai Yutang to come to Yanling to arrest him.
Because Yibuhuo identified the mastermind Cui who was behind the smuggling of copper coins in Yongkang Tongkeng, the relationship is serious.After the people in Kaifeng Mansion found out that the confession, letters and stolen goods were not forged, they would definitely report the situation to Bao Zheng.
When Bao Zheng arrived in Wuzhou, what would he do if he found out that Master Cui was behind Yongkang's private manufacturing of copper coins, and the evidence was solid?With Bao Zheng's staunch and unselfish temperament, it is very likely that Chief Cui will be directly held accountable.
This time when he went to Yongkang, Bao Zheng was going on tour in a low-clothes at first, and his entourage was only Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao, Chao Chao, etc., so the military equipment must be insufficient.
And Master Cui has been in charge of the Yongkang Tongkeng for many years, and he is doing such a mind-boggling job as privately making copper coins, so there must be some people under his command.
Once the two sides confront each other directly, it is very likely that the saying "a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake" will probably be followed, and Bao Zheng and others will be in danger.
Wang Chuang couldn't figure out the deep meaning. After several inquiries and explanations, he suddenly understood.
He found that Su Yuan and Bai Yutang were both in a hurry, so he hurriedly comforted them: "I don't think it's easy for them to confront each other. Mr. Gongsun is resourceful, and he will definitely help Mr. Bao with ideas and advise Mr. Bao to proceed with caution."
Bai Yutang said coldly: "It's useless. If this is the purpose of the doctor's death, he must have figured out a way to let Master Cui of Yongkang Tongkeng know that Mr. Bao has the evidence of his crime. Once he knows Mr. Bao They are in Yongkang to investigate the case, and they are destined to die after being caught anyway, do you think he will go to the bottom of the boat just to have a chance of survival?"
Wang Chuang was stunned, then nodded emphatically, saying yes.
This is the reason why the poor don't chase after them. If they are cornered, they will naturally fight back.
"Then what should we do? Hurry up and bring someone to support Mr. Bao?" Wang Chuang suggested.
Bai Yutang glanced at Su Yuan and wanted to leave immediately.
"It's the last time you should show your courage. This matter cannot be solved by one person alone." Su Yuan hurriedly said to Bai Yutang's back.
Bai Yutang stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Su Yuan, "Then what's your opinion?"
Su Yuan looked at Bai Yutang's white clothes.
"Fifth Master wants to rush to Yongkang immediately, that's no problem, but please trouble Fifth Master to disguise himself and keep a low profile so that no one will recognize you. If you can inform Lord Bao and the others as soon as possible to avoid direct conflict with Master Cui, then It would be best. I’ll go back to Kaifeng Mansion to find Old Magistrate Zhou. He has many ideas and is very popular. He should have a way to ask someone to dispatch troops as soon as possible to Yongkang to support Mr. Bao and the others.”
"A mere master, who can calculate Mr. Bao, is it possible that he can still stop me?"
What Bai Yutang meant was that the king should be captured first when the thief is captured, and everything will be solved naturally when he captures Master Cui.
"Then Master Cui, if it's so simple, why bother to make such calculations if you can't get a doctor? I think he would like you to pass by like this, just to take over everyone in Kaifeng Mansion."
Su Yuan reminded Bai Yutang to recall carefully, how many times he had used Chinese medicine to calculate how many times he would die.
Bai Yutang's eyes were heavy, and from the strength of his grip on the scabbard, it could be seen how angry he was at this moment.
Su Yuan threw a bag of salt and pepper almonds to Bai Yutang, and told him, "Eat it on the road, you look good in black clothes."
Bai Yutang raised his eyes and glanced at Su Yuan again, then turned and left.
Sun He held his breath and quietly stretched his neck, looking at the back of Bai Yutang leaving, always felt that Bai Shashen's leaving posture was very decisive.
"Boss, is fifth master angry? Can he listen to you?"
"I can listen." Su Yuan affirmed.
"How do you know?" Sun He was puzzled.
According to her understanding from many sources, Fifth Master Bai's temperament has always been flamboyant and unrestrained, and he does not listen to other people's opinions easily.
"Did you see that he didn't throw away the bag of almonds I gave him?"
Su Yuan gave Sun Hefei a look of 'it's so simple'.
Sun He: "!!!"
Boss is so smart!Actually tested the answer with almonds!
After Su Yuan arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, he reported the situation to Judge Zhou.Judge Zhou attached great importance to this matter, and immediately went to the mansion of Eight Sage Kings for help.
Su Yuan stayed in the prison alone, interrogating the doctor but failed.
"Why are you targeting Kaifeng Mansion so much? Master Bao?"
Doctor Buhuo laughed, "Why do you ask this question? I, Doctor Buhuo, always do things according to my own whim, and it's all up to my own mood. If I want money, I take it and work. I think my son is arguing, so I send him to see him." Hades. Seeing that your Kaifeng mansion has worked so hard to investigate the case, and even used women, I felt sympathetic and gave you the evidence!"
"Then you live a pretty chic life." Su Yuan echoed.
"That is." Yihuo agreed uncomfortably.
"You're like—"
Su Yuan casually picked up a red-hot iron and waved it twice in front of Yi Buhuo's eyes, each time he was within easy reach of Yi Buhuo's eyes, causing Yi Buhuo to subconsciously close his eyes in fright, and then retreated.
"Like this soldering iron, it has the chicness to be manipulated by others, so extraordinary!"
Only then did Yi Buhuo realize that Su Yuan's praise of "chic" was actually mocking him.
She even said that he was being manipulated by others... How could she know?And she was waving the red branding iron in a seemingly chaotic manner just now, every time he thought she would miss it and burn it on his eyes, but every time she withdrew at the last moment.This shouldn't be a coincidence, if it's just dancing casually, it's impossible to control it so precisely!
Yi Buhuo became terrified. The faint sense of panic that had arisen in his heart when he looked at Su Yuan at the beginning was completely clear now.It's not his illusion, this woman is very problematic, crazier than him!
"Who is that person?" Su Yuan asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yi Buhuo avoided Su Yuan's eyes, turned his head and poked his neck.
"When you attacked Ren Daniu, there were witnesses who saw that four strong men carried Ren Daniu away." Su Yuan looked at Yi Buhuo's thin body, "You must not be among the four, and we are arresting you." When you were with Master Ju, you didn’t see these four strong men either. This shows that there are other people behind you, and they just went there temporarily to help you.”
"That's someone I hired with money." Yi Buhuo immediately explained.
"Okay, then just tell me where you hired the person, I'll check. If you can't tell, then I'm right." Su Yuan seemed very reasonable when he spoke.
Yi Buhuo held back his anger and stared at Su Yuan, but he couldn't tell.
"How did you meet Master Ju?"
Master Ju is from Haizhou. He came to Beijing to make a living because of his failure in the imperial examination.At first he taught in the Cao family school, and later, after being introduced by an old Confucian of the Cao family, he became Wang Chuang's teacher.Speaking of it, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the lineage of Marquis Pingyuan also belongs to the Cao family.
"I met him by chance and saw that he was a money-grubbing person, so I lured him with money, and he was really at my mercy."
"Nonsense." Su Yuan gently denied.
Yi Buhuo stared at Su Yuan again, not understanding why this woman's tone was without hesitation every time she denied it, as if she had witnessed the process of his relationship with Master Ju back then.
"If he is greedy for money and confesses you to Wang Chuang, he will naturally have glory and wealth, and live a decent life. You are a gangster, how can you be richer than Zhenyuan Hou's mansion? You have to take risks for you, and you have to hide like a mouse crossing the street. It seems that it's not worth it no matter how you think about it." Su Yuan deduced.
Yi Buhuo once again had nothing to say.
"Look, you also know that just by yourself, Master Ju doesn't like you at all. So there are people behind you."
Su Yuan asked the doctor again, who is that person?
Yi Buhuo snorted coldly, and didn't intend to answer.
"Let me think about it, you are such a smart and conceited person, why would you be so desperate to serve another person? He saved you, is your benefactor? He threatened you with your weakness, so that you have to obey? Or two or both?"
In the process of guessing, Su Yuan's eyes flickered when he saw the doctor, and his expression was stiff, knowing that there was always a reason that was correct.
"Actually, I don't care about the reason at all. I have already obtained the result I wanted, and you didn't deny the existence of this person to me just now." Su Yuan showed his triumphant expression without hesitation.
Only then did Yi Buhuo realize that he had been tricked, and stared at Su Yuan even more angrily.He clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth fiercely. There were bulging veins on his neck and forehead.
"Seeing how you reacted so angrily, it seems that that person is kind to you." Su Yuan made another judgment.
"Get out! Get out!" Yi Buhuo yelled.
"It turns out that people who like to play tricks don't like being played by others."
Su Yuan suddenly raised the soldering iron, and quickly pressed it in the direction of the doctor's head.
Yi Buhuo instinctively closed his eyes to avoid it again, but he thought that Su Yuan was also trying to scare him this time.But then he heard a sizzling sound, and an unpleasant smell like burnt leather penetrated into his nostrils.
Doctor Buhuo shook his arms and trembled all over.He bit his lower lip tightly, wanting to endure the pain so as not to cry out.
Seeing that he had bitten his lip and there was blood on the edge of his mouth, Su Yuan put away the soldering iron and blew on the burnt hair remaining on the soldering iron.
"Look, you're so scared, it turns out that if you can't survive the doctor, you're afraid you won't survive."
Only then did Yi Buhuo realize that there was no pain on his body, it turned out that his hair was only burnt.When going to Kaifeng Mansion in a prison car, Yi Buhuo combed his loose hair, tore a strip of cloth from his clothes, and tied a bun on top of his head.Just now, Su Yuan's soldering iron was pressed on his bun.
Being tricked again and being mercilessly ridiculed made the doctor so angry that he couldn't get any more angry.Indeed, as Su Yuan said, he only likes to play tricks on people, and he doesn't like to be played by others!
Doctor Buhuo was so angry that he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
On the long table were the instruments of torture that Bai Fuzao had prepared.
Su Yuan fiddled with it and found that there were many instruments of torture that he didn't know.For example, this long wire has a small hook on its head, but I don't know what it is for.
Su Yuan summoned Bai Fu to ask what it was.
Bai Fu looked at what Su Yuan was holding, and twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment: "This...is not easy to explain."
Su Yuan understood that this thing must be used in places where it is inconvenient to explain it to her.
Bai Yutang's vicious and vicious methods really lived up to his reputation.
When Yi Buhuo heard the conversation between the two, he immediately thought of something, and felt a little afraid of the torture instrument.
"By the way, what did you say earlier. How many sons will you have as Fifth Master Bai wants to kill you?"
In this situation, hearing Su Yuan mention this incident, Yi Buhuo became even more terrified. They were planning to use the cruelest punishment to kill him offspring!
Even before using torture, just looking at the torture instrument, if the doctor can't survive, he feels that somewhere in himself is starting to hurt.
Bai Fu: "..."
Miss Su seems to know a little bit more?He didn't explain a word, how did she know?Now that his fifth master knew about this, would he think he was the one who informed him?Conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't lead Miss Su badly!
"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to recruit?" Su Yuan asked the doctor again, his voice remained calm.
For Bai Fu who had just entered the door in this scene, he just felt that Miss Su was too easy-going to interrogate the prisoner in this way. How could this question lead to the result?The words are too gentle and well-behaved, it is impossible to deter the prisoner.
The doctor couldn't live, but because of Su Yuan's questioning, his whole body tensed up, and cold sweat broke out quickly.He stared at Su Yuan angrily, gritted his teeth fiercely, and a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth instantly.
"Not good! The prisoner committed suicide by chewing his tongue!" Bai Fu exclaimed.
He hurriedly called for someone to come and deal with the medical failure together, to see if there was still a chance to save him.
Su Yuan watched with cold eyes that Yi Buhuo's face gradually turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and the pupils in his half-opened eyes were dissipating.
When the person was dead and motionless, Su Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the instrument of torture in his hand. It was a pity that he threw it back on the table. It was impossible to witness the grand occasion of its use today.
Bai Fu tossed about for a while, and found that he still couldn't be rescued, so he sighed twice.It's a pity that this person committed suicide suddenly, and they haven't had time to torture him for clues in the future.But since this guy has the determination to kill himself by chewing his tongue, even if he uses torture, he won't get anything out of torture.
Seeing that Su Yuan was still standing in the corner in a daze, Bai Fu hurried over to comfort Su Yuan not to be afraid, and persuaded Su Yuan to leave the prison to get some air.For a well-behaved girl like her, seeing a prisoner gossip suddenly must have been a big shock.
Afterwards, Bai Fu thoughtfully prepared soothing soup for Su Yuan, and some appetizing fruit snacks, so that Su Yuan could eat something to calm down the shock, so that he didn't have to think about the horrible scene in the prison.
"I didn't expect him to commit suicide in fear of crime. It's a good deal for him!" Sun He couldn't be missing when there was food. She patted the table to express her indignation while eating.
"How is Master Ju?" Su Yuan asked.
"The man is still in a coma, but the doctor has given him a pulse. If he dies, he will probably wake up after two days of rest." Bai Fu said.
The doctor is determined to die, which makes Su Yuan feel that the people behind him are not simple.
"At the beginning, I was worried that there would be thieves intercepting me on the way. I was afraid that Mr. Bao would not receive the news, so I specially sent two people one after another to spread the news."
But I didn't expect that people's calculations were based on this news.
It is difficult for ordinary people to penetrate people's hearts and have such meticulous calculations.Not exaggerating, very natural, but extremely harmful.
Bai Fu hurriedly persuaded: "It's not Miss Su's fault, who would have expected such a scheme!"
Judge Zhou came back at dusk.
He immediately saw Su Yuan and told her to rest assured.He has already reported the matter to the Eight Sage Kings, and the prince has also reported to the emperor. The imperial court will dispatch soldiers and horses nearby to assist Bao Zheng and others around Wuzhou. At the same time, he will also control the Jiangning Mansion. After checking the situation of the Jiangning Mansion , and then judge.
"There is an urgent summons from the imperial court this time, so you shouldn't be on a business trip. Don't worry. But fortunately, you discovered this matter early, and you saw through the collusion between Yi Buhuo and Master Ju, and you know that they deliberately acted for another purpose. If Otherwise, if we know the situation later, it will be even more difficult to say what Master Bao and the others will encounter in Yongkang." Judge Zhou said with emotion.
After all, Tokyo is far away from Yongkang, even if there is an urgent summons from the imperial court, it is very worrying.
Sun He prayed: "I hope Mr. Bao and the others will slow down, and it will take a few days to reach Yongkang. Oh, I really hope that I am in Yongkang now, so that I can help."
"Eh? Or should we go too?" Sun He suddenly stood up and proposed to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan shook his head, and immediately rejected Sun He's proposal.
If they are leaving now, it will definitely not be as fast as the imperial court hastened the summons to mobilize troops and horses to directly control Yongkang.Besides, they had never been to Wuzhou, and they were not familiar with the terrain there, so they might not be able to help them in a hurry.But Bai Yutang's hometown is there, and there are many acquaintances, if he can catch up in time, maybe it will be useful.
Moreover, she had promised Bao Zheng to stay in Kaifeng mansion to help the old judge Zhou guard the area of Gyeonggi.No one knows if there will be other things happening here in Gyeonggi in the future. If the other party's purpose is to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and they leave, wouldn't it be the thief's intention.In short, both the front and the rear must be guarded well, so that the enemy cannot take advantage of it.
Su Yuan suggested that Judge Zhou should increase the number of patrols of the various military patrols in Tokyo, and at the same time notify the subordinate counties in Gyeonggi Province that any abnormal situation, no matter how small, should be reported to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Judge Zhou nodded his approval again and again, praising Su Yuan for his thoughtfulness.Without her reminder, it would be easy for him, an old man, to be overlooked.
"Especially in the city of Tokyo, we must strengthen our vigilance."
Judge Zhou twirled his beard and pondered for a while, then wrote two letters.Let him know the commander of the guarding army first, this is his old friend, please tell him a few more words about his subordinates, pay more attention when patrolling the guarding city recently.
"In a few days it will be the Xiantian Festival, and you must also pay attention to lighting the lamps. I will tell the old friends in the Ministry of Rites to be careful when they prepare things."
Only then did Su Yuan remember that in another eight days, it will be the Xiantian Festival on the first day of July.
Xiantian Festival is the birthday of Zhao Xuanlang, the ancestor of the Zhao family. It is a grand festival, and officials all over the country will have a full five-day holiday.
Seven days before the festival, all prefectures, governments, military and prisons in the two capitals will build temples to set up sacrifices and stop slaughtering.On the day of the festival, lanterns are lit in the capital, and all the scholars and common people will have a feast. ①
Counting the days, it will be a day before the dojo will be opened.No wonder Su Yuan felt that the people in the mansion seemed to be busier than before in the past few days. It turned out that they were all busy with the affairs of Xiantian Festival.
Su Yuan's expression froze, as if he suddenly thought of something important.
The old judge Zhou was suddenly made very nervous by her expression, and hurriedly asked Su Yuan if he thought of any important clues in the case again.
"It has nothing to do with the case. The junior has other things to do. If there is no other order, I won't talk to you, old man." After Su Yuan finished speaking, he hurriedly saluted and said goodbye to the old judge Zhou.
Elder Judge Zhou opened his eyes wide, looked at Su Yuan's leaving back, frowned after thinking for a while, and then called the little officials around him to follow.
"I think this girl is a little weird. Don't worry about anything serious. I'm afraid that an old man like me will not be able to bear it after hearing this, so I deliberately kept it secret. Follow up and have a look!"
The little official agreed and went immediately.
Su Yuan dragged Sun He back to the room, which startled Sun He.
"What's the matter? What's the matter? Is there something important that the boss didn't dare to tell Judge Zhou?" Sun He asked extremely nervously.
"In two days it will be the Innate Festival." Su Yuan frowned and said seriously.
"Yeah, it's almost the Innate Festival, but what's the matter?" Sun He was still puzzled.
Su Yuan stretched her head out of the door to look left and right, after making sure that there was no one outside, she closed the door, pulled Sun He and whispered.
"After tomorrow, slaughtering will be prohibited for seven consecutive days. In other words, if we don't hoard meat, we will not be able to eat meat for seven consecutive days."
"Ah—" Sun He suddenly realized, "That's right, this is a big deal! I'll hire a car tomorrow morning and buy a carload of meat, which is enough for us for seven days! But it seems that I can only buy more bacon, Salted fish and the like, it’s so hot now, fresh meat won’t last for seven days.”
"There is an icehouse in the mansion."
Sun He was about to feel that this idea is good.
"It's a pity it can't be used!" Su Yuan added with emotion.
The affairs of the icehouse in Kaifeng Mansion are not under her control, and she thinks it is basically impossible for her to use the public for personal gain in this regard.Besides, if everyone knew about her hoarding of meat, it would be embarrassing not to distinguish between them, but how could the meat be held together?One point is gone, and so is her happiness.
"Then what should we do? We can only eat bacon and salted fish for seven days." Sun He fainted, she also loves meat, on this point she and the boss are very consistent.
It should be said that when a person encounters a desperate situation, he will search his guts and try his best to use all available resources.Su Yuan finally remembered what Su Fangming had told her, that if she had any troubles, she could go to Shopkeeper Lou of Xianrenlou to solve them.
She had already agreed to help Su Fangming first, and it would not be too much to ask him to come back with some help.
So the next day, Su Yuan and Sun He arranged for shopkeeper Lou to deal with the stockpiled meat.
In the afternoon, after Su Fangming checked the accounts of each store at the end of the month, he asked shopkeeper Lou if he had been approached by Su Yuan recently.
"Master asked, Miss Su just came to see the villain this morning."
"Oh?" Su Fangming looked at Shopkeeper Lou and asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
"It is said that they are borrowing the icehouse to hide the corpse." Shopkeeper Lou also followed Su Yuan's posture and sold off first.
Su Fangming raised his eyebrows, his eyes were very serious.
"Carcasses of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish."
Shopkeeper Lou explained with a smile, and then he saw Su Fangming shooting him with unkind eyes, Shopkeeper Lou waved his hands to show his innocence.
"That's not what the villain said on purpose, it's Miss Su's original words."
Su Fangming laughed helplessly, and warned Shopkeeper Lou to deduct his monthly money if he said such words next time.
"I heard that Kaifeng Mansion seems to be not peaceful recently." Shopkeeper Lou suddenly said seriously, "A prisoner committed suicide by chewing his tongue, and a famous doctor in the world is not alive. Coincidentally, the villain met this prisoner in Xianren Building a month ago. That day, he and the master stayed in Room No. [-] of Tianzi for about a stick of incense. At that time, he was dressed as a doctor and carried a medicine box on his back. The villain thought that the master was not feeling well, and he was afraid that his wife would worry, so he I specially asked the doctor to look outside."
Today, the prison van escorting Yi Buhuo from Kaifeng Mansion happened to pass by the Immortal Building. Even though the doctor in the prison van was disheveled, Shopkeeper Lou recognized him at a glance.
Su Fangming's face turned indifferent. After he settled the accounts, he circled two places where there were mistakes, and ordered the shopkeeper Lou to dispose of him.Anyone who dares to make false accounts and steal money under his nose, will never get involved with the Su family in this life.
After returning home, Su Fangming immediately went to find Su Jinjing.
Li Shi and Su Jinjing were discussing how to celebrate the Innate Festival, which band to invite actors to perform songs and dances, and also to determine the banquet menu and the list of guests.
Seeing Su Fangming coming, Mrs. Li hurriedly smiled and beckoned him to sit down quickly, handed him the list she had prepared for Su Fangming, and asked him if there were any omissions in the list.
After Su Fangming took it over and took a look, he said no.
Li smiled and continued to confirm the follow-up matters with Su Jinjing. After chatting for a while, she saw that Su Fangming had been looking at Su Jinjing as if she had something to say, and knew that she should avoid it.Mrs. Li kindly excused that she had something to do, and left with various lists.
"Father doesn't know a doctor?" Su Fangming cut to the chase.
Su Jinjing originally thought that Su Fangming had business matters to tell him, but when he heard him mentioning that the doctor could not survive, he froze for a moment, then glared at Su Fangming angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about, how could I know him!"
"In that case, father already knew who the doctor was." Su Fangming concluded.
Su Jinjing wanted to deny it, but then he realized that his direct denial just now was equivalent to admitting in disguise that he knew who the doctor was.Otherwise, his immediate reaction should be to ask who this person is and what he does.
He has no defense against his eldest son.
"I know this person. I heard that his reputation in Jianghu is not very good." Su Jinjing's tone was calmer.
"Father knows he has a bad reputation?"
Su Fangming actually wanted to say: Knowing that he is not a good person, why do you still want to see him?
But he couldn't say that, once he said it, Su Jinjing would definitely suspect Shopkeeper Lou.Su Fangming didn't want to expose his confidant to Su Fangming too early, so he could only hide it for the time being.
"Well, of course I know. When chatting with friends over wine, there will always be some Jianghu affairs. I heard that the doctor can't kill this man, so he is very ruthless. He is the only one in the Jianghu who can compare with Bai Yutang." Su Jinjing Trying to treat it as a small talk, I chatted with Su Fangming.
Su Fangming smiled and said goodbye politely.
"Stop!" Su Jinjing called to stop him, "Why did you suddenly ask him?"
"Yi Buhuo was captured by the Kaifeng Mansion." Su Fangming turned his eyes to look at Su Jinjing, "My son has an acquaintance in Kaifeng Mansion, and said that when he passed by the interrogation room, he seemed to hear Yi Buhuo mention his father's name. The son naturally If you don't believe me, I came here to ask my father."
"What!" Su Jinjing stood up suddenly, knocked over the tea bowl on the table, and asked Su Fangming with a look of shock, "Did the doctor mention me to the people in Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Isn't it true that father doesn't know the doctor and can't live? Then there is no need to worry, as the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting. There is no such thing at all. It is absolutely impossible for the Kaifeng government to wrong the father casually."
Su Jinjing's complexion was very bad, and hearing Su Fangming's words made him even more angry.He waved his hand irritably and sent Su Fangming to leave quickly.
After Su Fangming left, he immediately ordered someone to monitor Su Jinjing.
He wants to know his every move.
……
"Boss, do you think Master Bao and the others will be fine in Yongkang?" When Sun He was helping Su Yuan pickle the chicken, he expressed his worries to Su Yuan again.
"I don't know." Su Yuan couldn't make an accurate judgment on things that couldn't be determined.
However, Su Yuan felt that there was a high probability that he should be fine.Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce are thoughtful people, and Zhan Zhao and Chao Chao are not inferior in martial arts.Moreover, the situation here was discovered relatively early, so it should be possible to recover in time.But if something really happens, it means that the opponent is very strong, and their luck is extremely bad, then they can only accept their fate.
"Then what should we do if there is an accident? Boss will be very sad, right?" Sun He became depressed, and his eyes gradually turned red.
"I will help with their funeral and burn paper for them every Qingming Festival." After Su Yuan prepared the sauce, he poured it directly on the chicken.
Sun He, who was feeling sad, stopped abruptly, and looked at Su Yuan in surprise: "Is this the end?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Su Yuan asked back, "I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life."
Sun He was blocked by Su Yuan's words, and then he reacted and argued: "Sad, isn't the boss sad? Crying and hurting? I didn't sleep well last night, and I was worried all night."
"Well, I will be sad." Su Yuan replied.
Sun He: "..."
But I don't think your calm look looks like that at all.
"But it's useless to be sad. I will try to shorten this time and do other meaningful things." Such as roasting chicken.
She is a person who does not have too much sadness, because the harsh environment never allows her to have too many fragile or broken emotions.Her sadness must be just right, no longer than 3 minutes, usually less than a second.
Considering Sun He's ability to bear, Su Yuan did not tell her that she was sad for less than a second.
"Boss is amazing, and I want to learn from him. Actually, I understand this truth. The dead are like this, and the living are useless no matter how sad they are. After all, they must live well, but it is very difficult for me. My grandmother When I passed away, I cried so much that I passed out, and every time I think about it for the next three years, I still can’t help crying, and I’ve been in a bad mood all day.”
"Then you should control your emotions."
Su Yuan stuffed the sour pear into the belly of the chicken and baked it in the stove.This clay stove was built by Su Yuan herself, and the heat still needs to be tested. When Bao Zheng and the others come back, she will definitely be able to bake a perfectly cooked roast chicken for them to eat.
"By the way, your house should be cleaned up, especially the dust on the beams. It dazzled my eyes yesterday."
Sun He agreed with "hmmm", saying that she would clean up in a while.
Let's talk about the little official, after following Su Yuan around, he went to the old judge Zhou to report the situation.
"Miss Su seems to be in a bad mood. She went to find Miss Sun yesterday, and the two of them stayed in the house for a long time. It felt like the two sisters were secretly sad. Because later, when the villain saw Miss Su coming out, his eyes were a little red. , as if crying.
Then on the second day, the two went out, bought a lot of things, and cooked a lot of food in the kitchen.The villain felt that Ms. Su must be overly sad and had no way to resolve it, so he listened to Ms. Sun's opinion and wanted to turn grief and anger into appetite. "
Judge Zhou praised with a sigh: "This child has a sincere temperament, which is very rare."
……
The next day, Su Yuan went to the various avenues in the Gyeonggi area to patrol around. After finding nothing wrong, he went back to Kaifeng Mansion to rest.In the next few days, until the day before the Innate Festival, it has been like this.
On the night of Xiantian Festival, Jinming Pond is very lively, with various lanterns hanging high, especially the Zhangyu high lanterns that look like several Taoist gods and kings are the most conspicuous. Many people will worship and make wishes in front of the lanterns.
Wazi, Zhouqiao Night Market and other places are also very lively, full of people everywhere, and pedestrians have to touch shoulders when walking.
Su Yuan led the servants of the Kaifeng government office, together with the city guards, to supervise and maintain order.By the end of the night, everything went smoothly and there was no accident.
"What, we are so nervous every day, and it turned out to be useless!"
After Sun He complained, he followed Su Yuan back to the Kaifeng mansion, and patted off the dust accumulated on his shoulders after a day of patrolling.
Elder Judge Zhou hurried over at this moment, and happily said to Su Yuan, "Your Majesty Bao has heard that everything is fine, so you can rest assured. After the trial of the Yongkang Tongkeng case is over, you will return to Beijing in a few days."
The old judge Zhou told Su Yuan that the letter came along with the eight hundred li urgent report to the court, so the news came so quickly.
"Wow, the report from the imperial court is still very good. If we run by ourselves, it will take half a month to get the news." Sun He exclaimed.
"It's good that nothing happens inside and outside the city." Su Yuan said so, but his emotions were not high.
Judge Zhou said with a smile: "When he comes back this time, you can prepare a table of delicious food to welcome him. Don't forget to call my old man when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I won't forget you old man. It's getting late enough, don't stay up late." Su Yuan advised the old judge Zhou to go home early and rest.
The old judge Zhou agreed, got on the soft sedan chair, and ordered the bearer to go home quickly.
Judge Zhou's house was about two sticks of incense away from Kaifeng Mansion, and it was late at night, so naturally there were no people on the road.After carrying the sedan chair to the East Street, the bearer followed the usual route and turned into the alley.
Suddenly, eight men in black were standing across the road, holding big knives, blocking their way.
The bearers panicked, and the one in the front immediately screamed and wanted to call someone, but the man in black wiped his neck with a knife.The remaining three bearers were so frightened that they fell to the ground. They were all so frightened that they dared not make a sound.
The old judge Zhou still knew the situation in the sedan chair, and opened the curtain while asking what was wrong.
The old judge Zhou saw the dead bearer in front of the sedan chair at a glance, with blood flowing all over the floor.He was shocked and looked at the men in black in fear.
"If you want to kill this old man, you can do it here. These bearers are innocent, so there is no need to hurt them." Old Judge Zhou said in a haunted voice.
The man in black didn't say anything, but he didn't make any extra moves to the bearers.
Seeing this, the bearers ran away in a hurry.
The leading man in black immediately raised his big knife, and slashed at Old Judge Zhou's brow——
Judge Zhou knew that he couldn't escape, so he closed his eyes.
When Su Yuan came running out of breath, just seeing this scene, she immediately flew out the kitchen knife in her hand, and slashed the head of the man in black who was about to commit murder.
The other seven men in black were very surprised when they saw Su Yuan appearing suddenly, but they couldn't care less about wondering why this woman would appear suddenly and have such good skills, so they all raised their knives and attacked together.
However, they never expected that they were so numerous, with seven enemies and one, each of them was strong and taller than this woman by a head, but they were defeated in the blink of an eye, their heads were in different places, and they didn't even have a chance to call for help!
Judge Zhou closed his eyes for a long time, but he didn't feel the pain from his neck, and he heard a lot of "plopping" sounds one after another.He tried to slowly open his eyes, and with the faint light from the lantern hanging on the sedan chair, he could see the scene in front of him clearly.
The old judge Zhou was so frightened that he took two steps back in a row, and sat back in the sedan chair.
Every day!
