Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

"Brother Zhan is back!" Zhao Hanyan said happily.

When Zhan Zhao saw the two of them, he saw a government servant passing by from the east, jumped off his horse with bright eyes and a smile, and asked him where they were going.

"Just walk around, it doesn't matter." When Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao, his back straightened even more, with a serious expression on his face, he asked Zhan Zhao if Master Bao had returned.

"I left a few days earlier, and they will probably return the day after tomorrow." Zhan Zhao was looking at Zhao Hanyan, so he didn't pay attention to Bai Yutang's expression, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you two are more energetic. I heard that when we were away, You caught the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Don't mention it, people are poisoned to death, and there are many things that I haven't figured out yet." Zhao Hanyan briefly explained the process to Zhan Zhao, went to hold Fei Bai, the jujube horse that Zhan Zhao was riding, and gently stroked Fei Bai's forehead with his slender hands. touch.Fei Bai liked Zhao Hanyan very much, so he moved closer and rubbed his head against Zhao Hanyan.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, "You're such a likable person, you can't even escape from a horse."

"Is there, haha..." Zhao Hanyan was naturally happy when he heard the praise, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhan Zhao if he could eat, so she went to make him breakfast.

Bai Yutang said in a neutral tone: "If you're really hungry, why don't you go out to eat, and you have to wait to make it now."

"No, you two hurry up and follow me." Zhan Zhao looked serious when he saw no one around.

"Let's go?" Zhao Hanyan asked puzzled.

Zhan Zhao looked around vigilantly again, and smiled at Zhao Hanyan: "When I was passing through Deping County on the way, I came across a case that was a bit complicated. Let's deal with it first."

Zhao Hanyan: "Then I'll tell Judge Shi."

"You don't need to tell him." Zhan Zhao immediately refused.

Zhao Hanyan listened to the footsteps, and nodded to Zhan Zhao in puzzlement.

"Bring on your waist badge, and if you have some dry food, let's go now," Zhan Zhao urged.

Zhao Hanyan was about to ask what happened, but Bai Yutang touched his shoulder.Bai Yutang shook his head at Zhao Hanyan, then brought two horses and gave Zhao Hanyan one.

Zhao Hanyan got on his horse, followed Zhan Zhao out of the Nanxun Gate with Bai Yutang, and galloped all the way south until the afternoon when all the horses and horses were exhausted, Zhan Zhao stopped the horse at the side of the road first.

After Zhan Zhao got off his horse, he said to Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang, "Let's take a rest, eat something, and continue on our way later."

Zhao Hanyan got off the horse and looked around.Both sides of the road are full of trees of different heights, short, fat, and thin. It is a small forest. The forest is full of weeds and climbing vines half the height of a person, and it grows very densely. no.The front of the road was straight as if it had no end, the front and back were desolate, and there were no other sounds in the surrounding fields except for the singing of birds and crows.

After Zhan Zhao took a sip of water, he glanced at Bai Yutang, who was also drinking water, so Zhan Zhao turned to Zhao Hanyan.Among the three, she was the only one who didn't know kung fu. Zhan Zhao was a little worried that she couldn't bear it physically, but found that she didn't rush to eat, drink and rest after getting off the horse, but was still looking at the surrounding environment energetically.

"Drink some water, there is still a long way to go." Zhan Zhao advised Zhao Hanyan.

At this time, Bai Yutang put down the water bag, raised his eyelids, and said to Zhan Zhao indifferently: "It's time to talk."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, understanding the meaning of Bai Yutang's words and reminding him that it's time to explain the matter.When he was in Kaifeng Mansion just now, he had already seen that he had something to hide, so he pulled Brother Zhao and didn't ask himself much.

There are no people in these wilderness places, so it is indeed suitable to talk about.

After Zhao Hanyan heard Bai Yutang's words, she immediately looked at Zhan Zhao with doubts. She was already curious all the way, because she was too hasty to ask more questions.

"Master Bao has encountered some troubles in Deping County." Zhan Zhao paused, "Because it is inconvenient to reveal your identity, I have to ask you two to help deal with it."

"What's the point of not revealing your identity?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

Even though he was in the wilderness, Zhan Zhao looked around cautiously before answering, "This time I went to Chenzhou to punish Pang Yu, and I encountered robbery and murder many times along the way, and it was even more frequent on the way back. In desperation, my lord Decided to disguise and dress up, a group of people led the way to attract most of the enemies, and we led people to escort Pang Yu to change the route quietly, which saved a lot of trouble. But I didn't expect that when I arrived in Deping County last night, I got stuck. Little trouble. The county magistrate of Deping County is also an official fan who attacks calculations. Right now, he is as steadfast as an eagle catching a rabbit. He hastily called the two of you here. He just wants you to cover us in the name of Kaifeng Prefecture. It is best Can help Mr. Bao get out of trouble as soon as possible, and rush back to the capital."

Zhao Hanyan probably understood it, and it was understandable for Bao Zheng and others to escort Pang Yu away from the public.Now that Pang Yu's charges have been confirmed, he has to be escorted back to Beijing to have his head cut off.Taishi Pang definitely wanted to make a final struggle, trying hard to save his son's life.Moreover, when Pang Yu was kidnapped, Grand Master Pang mobilized his party members to run to the emperor crying and making noises, talking about "possibly innocent" words, and charged Bao Zheng with ineffective escort.Although Zhao Zhen has a dark belly and is expected to be an emperor, he has not been in power for long, and the power of the emperor has not yet been consolidated.Sometimes Zhao Zhen is also powerless and has no way to deal with powerful ministers such as Grand Master Pang who "resist on reason".

If there was something that could save his son and take revenge on Bao Zheng, Grand Master Pang would of course do it.Therefore, Bao Zheng's return to Beijing this time is really difficult and impossible to guard against.

"It's not good for this matter to be delayed for too long, and my lord can't reveal his identity. Originally, there are not many people in this line. Once exposed, a large number of people will be summoned to assassinate, and it will be difficult to resist." Zhan Zhao explained.

Bai Yutang sighed with a sneer, "Take the dog's head of Grand Master Pang as soon as possible, and save a lot of trouble."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly told Bai Yutang not to be impulsive, since Grand Master Pang had a great status, so how could he be easily shaken.

"Actually, he himself is not terrible. What is terrible is the forces behind him. After killing a Grand Master Pang, Grand Masters Zhang and Li will appear again. If the power is not eliminated, it will be useless after all."

"That's the reason." Zhao Hanyan agreed, and asked Zhan Zhao what kind of trouble Mr. Bao caused in Deping County.

Zhan Zhao frowned and said, "I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. I'll give you a brief explanation when we arrive in Deping County. Let's go on our way first."

Zhao Hanyan nodded, and then remembered to take out the beef jerky he brought. There were twenty bags in total, and they were all divided into small cloth bags.Zhao Hanyan took two bags of beef jerky and handed them to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang respectively, and he put one in his mouth.

This batch of beef was distributed to the small kitchen by the public thanks to that annoying little prince Duan.Zhao Hanyan saw that the leftover beef could not be used up, so he made beef jerky, which was more durable.At that time, I just thought that people in Kaifeng Mansion would have to go out to bring dry food, but I didn't expect to use it so soon.

The beef is marinated with salt and pre-made five-spice powder and then dried. When roasting, Zhao Hanyan will add five-spice powder to make the five-spice taste more intense.During the whole production process, there is no water. If you tear it with your hands when eating, you can see the bright red meat. For storage, it is made into dry meat. Only two and a half catties of beef can produce a catty of jerky, which is chewy. Full, the flavor of the meat is more intense because the meat is concentrated, a piece of beef jerky can be chewed for a long time, and it is also very hungry.

In fact, Zhao Hanyan also made some beef jerky with a little bit of fat. If you put this kind of beef jerky on the fire when you eat it, the fatty part on the top of the jerky will squeak until it becomes oily. Sprinkle with cumin and chili, and it is perfect with a glass of fruity plum wine.But now there is no such condition, and eating some lean jerky is just as good.

"Hearing what you said, I really want to try it." After Zhan Zhao heard how to eat fat beef jerky, he really wanted to eat something warm, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhan Zhao's heartfelt voice: Don't talk about eating during this trip, wanting to sleep well is just an extravagant wish.After leaving Beijing for such a long time, seeing the little cook, I couldn't help but think of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she made.I only hope that this trouble will be resolved quickly and I will return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Bai Yutang's heartfelt voice: If you have this kind of dried meat to eat, you don't need to roast rabbit when you go out in the future, roasted rabbit is not as delicious as this.

Hearing Zhan Zhao's heartfelt voice, Zhao Hanyan knew that he had worked hard all this way, and felt a little sad, and hearing Bai Yutang's heartfelt voice, Zhao Hanyan wanted to laugh again.

"Have you rested, let's go?" Zhan Zhao asked for everyone's opinions.

In fact, the three of them rested for less than a stick of incense, but Zhan Zhao was worried that something might happen to Mr. Bao, so he was in a hurry.

The same is true for Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang, both nodded.

The three of them then rode their horses and galloped straight to Deping County, and arrived outside the county seat before dusk.

Although Deping County is only [-] miles away from Tokyo City, the road is winding and winding due to the mountains blocking the road, so even riding lightly on a fast horse from Beijing to here takes a day's effort.If you take a carriage, it will be even slower, at least two and a half days.

Before entering Deping County, Zhan Zhao wanted to separate from them in advance. First, he briefly explained the current situation of Bao Zheng and others to Zhao Hanyan, and asked them to go to the county government in the name of Kaifeng Mansion in a while.

"It's up to you to arrange whatever reason you use. Both of you are smarter than me. You just have to have an excuse to intervene in the case of Deping County. Try to be as natural as possible, and don't let people see that you are here for this case." Zhan Zhao After explaining, he went on horseback first.

Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang stood by the side of the road and waited. It took a stick of incense before they could set off.

Both of them were very quiet, Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan whose eyes were darting around, and remained silent.Zhao Hanyan was looking into the fields near the road to see what kind of crops and fruits there were.Seeing that they were all wheat, she thought that if these wheat were made into flour, they would be delicious, and even steamed buns would taste better than ordinary ones.

Zhao Hanyan thought about flour and steamed buns for a long time, and Bai Yutang stared at Zhao Hanyan for a long time, until Zhao Hanyan turned his eyes and found Bai Yutang's gaze.

Bai Yutang was very frank and didn't dodge, he still looked at Zhao Hanyan.On the contrary, Zhao Hanyan felt a little guilty, tilted his head to look away from him, and then turned his head to look behind him. After making sure that there was nothing behind him for Bai Yutang to look at, he asked Bai Yutang if he was looking at her all the time.

"Yeah." Bai Yutang answered very frankly, his tone was lazy and casual, a little confident.

"Then why do you keep looking at me?" Zhao Hanyan was curious.

"Probably because you...have something in your chest." Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhao Hanyan's chest.A piece of jerky the size of a fingernail was securely stuck at the overlap of the collar and front of the pale green coat.I really don't know how it 'laid' there for such a long time under the bumpy ride just now.

Zhao Hanyan looked down and saw the stuck jerky, laughed, took it off with his hand, and put it in his sleeve.

"Don't waste food, I will go to the county to feed the puppies later."

After Zhao Hanyan put away her little jerky, seeing Bai Yutang still stinking at her, she had a feeling that she might be too dirty so she was being targeted by cleanliness.Zhao Hanyan hurriedly lowered his head and patted other parts of his body, tidied up his appearance, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he looked up and met Bai Yutang's gaze.

"Quickly tell me, is there anything you don't like?" Zhao Hanyan raised his arms and walked around in front of Bai Yutang to let him take a good look.It doesn't matter if there is a cleanliness supervision, to promote her to maintain a better image as much as possible, appearance is also very important.

Bai Yutang withdrew his gaze, took a breath slowly, looked at the ears of wheat shaking his head in the wind in the wheat field, and asked Zhao Hanyan a question that was very sudden but actually he had been thinking about it for many days.

"What kind of woman do you like?"

"Huh? A woman?" This question was indeed too sudden, a bit caught off guard.Zhao Hanyan changed his mind to think that maybe when the two men are too embarrassed to talk together, they prefer to talk about women.Speaking of it, she really didn't talk about women with anyone to show how manly she is.

Zhao Hanyan rolled his eyes, and quickly answered Bai Yutang's question: "I like ones with big breasts and thinner waists, and their voices should be slender and gentle. When they smile, they look shy like flowers. Well, they should be a little more lively in private." The kind. What about you?"

Zhao Hanyan deliberately said that many men like the type of women in order to show his 'masculine taste'.

Bai Yutang frowned, and after going through Zhao Hanyan's words in his mind, he found that everything Zhao Hanyan said was consistent with Xiuzhu.This fellow kept saying that he and Xiuzhu were brothers and sisters...

"If you really like other girls, you should take responsibility."

Bai Yutang's tone revealed a lot of displeasure, and I don't know why.However, in Bai Yutang's opinion, he was definitely upset because Zhao Hanyan was having an affair with Xiuzhu and was irresponsible.How can a responsible man act like a maid in private, people keep saying that they miss him, and the two of them are almost hugging each other, what kind of brother and sister are you talking about, it's too scumbag!

Bai Yutang felt that as an elder brother, it was necessary to teach Zhao Hanyan how to be a man, especially a man.

"Well, I know, if we meet in the future, I will be responsible." Zhao Hanyan replied casually, very casually, and even ran to the field to see the ears of wheat after answering.

See you later?

Bai Yutang stared at Zhao Hanyan coldly, and had to admit in his heart that the brother he just befriended really had a big problem with women.But Bai Yutang always felt that based on what he knew about Little Cook and his usual personality, Little Cook couldn't be the kind of poor character he thought.The incident with the widow last time proved that the little cook really didn't have any wrong thoughts.Just now I saw his ignorant and indifferent look, could it be that he really doesn't understand the relationship between men and women at all, and because he grew up with that Xiuzhu since he was a child, so he doesn't distinguish between you and me, let alone the defense of men and women, and he doesn't know that he and Xiuzhu are here Do you want to avoid taboo after age?

Many scholars only read sage books and lack understanding of the world.It's not like Bai Yutang has never seen such a person before.Thinking about what he said he missed, and pulling Zhao Hanyan's arm, it was all done by that girl Xiuzhu on her own initiative.It turned out to be Xiuzhu's problem!

The doubts that had been lingering in Bai Yutang's mind for many days were finally resolved, and his brows were relaxed.It turned out that there was something wrong with the little brother he befriended, and the little cook didn't understand anything.But that Xiuzhu, who was taken care of by the little cook's family, was considered as her younger sister, and she was ungrateful, and actually had an unruly heart towards the little cook...

Zhao Hanyan grabbed a small grain on the ear of wheat, pushed it aside, stuffed the wheat grain inside into his mouth and bit it, completely immersed in the fragrance of fresh wheat, totally unaware of how many ideological struggles Bai Yutang had made during this period.

The taste of wheat is good.

Zhao Han thought of Uncle Jin's crispy biscuits, the taste of which is no less than those complicated French breads.The more Zhao Hanyan learns to cook these traditional dishes, the more he discovers its charm.Chinese cooking is profound and profound, and it cannot be achieved overnight. She must accumulate more wood to build a big boat in order to wander in it.

After Zhao Han tasted the wheat, he realized that she seemed to be distracted. He was talking about women with Bai Yutang, how could he be distracted.

Zhao Hanyan hurriedly climbed up from the edge of the field, continued the previous conversation, and asked Bai Yutang what kind of woman he liked.

"I asked you something, why didn't you answer me?"

Bai Yutang glanced at her, "It's almost time, we should set off."

"Let me tell you what kind do you like first?" Zhao Hanyan noticed that Bai Yutang was avoiding this question, so she insisted on asking, because she said it very manly just now.

"I don't know." Bai Yutang spit out these three words after a long time.

"You are perfunctory?" Zhao Hanyan dissatisfied, "I answered seriously, but you are perfunctory."

"I haven't met anyone I like, so I don't know." Bai Yutang glanced at Zhao Hanyan lightly, "This is the truth, very serious."

Hearing what Bai Yutang said, Zhao Hanyan felt a little guilty, "Then I'm the same as you, and I haven't met anyone I like."

"Correct so quickly? Don't you like people with big breasts and thin waists?" Bai Yutang asked sarcastically.

"You don't like it. I think everyone likes it, so I like it." After Zhao Hanyan got on the horse, he and Bai Yutang continued to ride slowly towards Deping County.Zhan Zhao deliberately told them to wait for a while, not too fast, so they still have to ride slowly at this moment.Anyway, it was very slow, so I continued walking and chatting.

"Everyone likes it, so you like it?" Bai Yutang glanced sideways at Zhao Hanyan, "If everyone likes death, then will you die?"

"Assuming it doesn't hold, everyone won't like to die." Zhao Hanyan understood what Bai Yutang meant, but deliberately contradicted him.

"Vulgar." Bai Yutang couldn't help but judge.

Zhao Hanyan hummed, "I'm vulgar. It's better than some people who don't even know what they like. They can't even be called vulgar. They're stupid and confused!"

Zhao Hanyan knew that Bai Yutang would be upset after he said this, so he slapped the horse's ass with his whip and hurried to the front.

Bai Yutang was stunned, looking at Zhao Hanyan's back, he became ruthless, and immediately rode his horse to give chase.

The two rode horses one after the other to Deping County and went straight to the county government.

The yamen gatekeeper in Deping County saw two moon-like beautiful young men coming on big horses from a distance. The county magistrate came to receive them in a hurry and asked about their identities.

"Lieutenant Liupin of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Han, Bai Yutang." Zhao Hanyan showed the badge of Captain Liupin to the yamen.

When the yamen officer heard that someone from Kaifeng Mansion had come, he was terrified, and hurriedly invited the two of them in, and told them that they had sent a message to the county magistrate.You must know that the county magistrate of Deping County is only of the eighth rank, far inferior to the rank of the school lieutenant in Kaifeng Prefecture. The arrival of Zhao Hanyan and the two will naturally attract the attention of the county magistrate.

Not long after the two waited in the side hall, Lei Buzhi, the magistrate of Deping County, appeared in a formal official robe, with a bright smile on his face, and hurried to meet the two of them.Lei Buzhi saw that the two were young and had extraordinary appearances, so he felt that they were powerful people.The officials from the capital, as long as they are young, are either talented or have a backing behind them.In any case, no matter which one, they are all powerful, and his little county magistrate can't afford to offend him.

"Magistrate Lei, this is Bai Yutang, the newly appointed captain of our Kaifeng Mansion." Zhao Hanyan specially introduced.

Before Lei Buzhi came, he had already learned from the Yacha that the two were school lieutenants. He was wondering why this young man who looked easy to get along with emphasized it all over again, but when he heard the word 'Bai Yutang', he couldn't help it. He suddenly reacted like a thunderbolt.

"Bai, Bai Yutang? But the one who is widely rumored in the Jianghu?" Lei Buzhi glanced at the beautiful boy in white clothes over there, and quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to take a second look.

"I'm next." Bai Yutang glanced at Zhao Hanyan, wondering why Zhao Hanyan introduced him so deliberately.

However, Zhao Hanyan was very satisfied with the lethality of Bai Yutang's name. He heard from Zhan Zhao that the magistrate of Deping County was a bit difficult to deal with, and he was a serious official fan.The best way to govern such people is to ring a gong in their ears.A ruthless man from the rivers and lakes came to Deping County as an official post, and his grade was still higher than him. How could he dare to neglect and offend him.

The truth was exactly as Zhao Hanyan expected, after Lei Buzhi learned of Bai Yutang's identity, his smile became a little more pious, and even his attitude was more fearful and cautious than respectful.

"I don't know what business the two captains are here for?" Lei Bu asked politely.

Zhao Hanyan: "Come to review all the government affairs in your Deping County in the past year, including criminal cases, especially the official bank theft case half a year ago."

"Ah——" Lei Buzhi shirked his responsibility when he heard this, "This matter has nothing to do with the lower official, the lower official has only been here for less than half a year, and he only came to take up the post after the silver theft case."

"I know it has nothing to do with you. We are just reviewing. A few days ago, Mr. Yan and the Kaifeng government jointly arrested the mastermind of the silver theft case. It is inevitable to go through the previous cases, take a look, and make a conclusion." Zhao Hanyan said solemnly, "I'm here anyway, so I'll review your county affairs by the way to see if there are any other problems, and I'll report them as soon as I get reported."

"Since taking office, the lower officials have always been doing things according to their duties and serving the people conscientiously. They never dared to seek half a penny that does not belong to them. However, it is inevitable that they will neglect some trivial matters when they first take office. Please, the two officials, please raise some points and be more accommodating." Lei Buzhi pleaded hastily.

Zhao Hanyan smiled and told Lei Bu, "Don't worry, magistrate Lei, the two of us are definitely not the kind to accept bribes and indiscriminately wrong people. As long as you do your job properly, you will naturally report to Mr. Bao when we return to Kaifeng Mansion." Ming, a few words for you."

Lei Buzhi thanked him again and again, but unknowingly broke out a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, forcing him to raise his head several times and wipe it with his sleeve.

Bai Yutang watched coldly from the side, so Lei Bu knew that he was not an upright official, so he was so guilty, so he didn't want to see him even more.

And the more indifferent Bai Yutang was, the more awe-inspiring he looked around him, making people look more intimidated.

Lei Bu knew that now he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, he asked the two officials if they had dinner, and they wanted to host a banquet; at the same time, he asked the two officials what their orders were, and he immediately went to prepare them.

"There's no need for meals. We, Master Bao, are upright and upright. You know it well. We are absolutely not allowed to eat alcohol or pick up valuables when we are out on business. So we can handle the meal by ourselves, and County Magistrate Lei doesn't have to worry about it." Zhao Hanyan The supervisor spoke and continued to tell Lei Bu, "Get the file of the silver theft case first."

"Okay, I'll order someone to do it right now." Lei Buzhi then handed over the dossier.

While reading the file, Zhao Hanyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. She was promoted from an unknown little policeman to a sixth-rank captain just because she followed Master Yan to solve this big case, which was the same level as Wang Chao Mahan.

After Lei Buzhi heard this, he congratulated Zhao Hanyan again and again, with a lot of envy in his eyes, and sighed that solving the big case was really the fastest way to get promoted.

"Lei County Magistrate will definitely have a chance." Zhao Hanyan encouraged.

Lei Buzhi laughed happily and thanked Zhao Hanyan for his kind words.

Bai Yutang snorted coldly: "If there is any big case in such a small place, even if County Magistrate Lei is talented, I'm afraid he won't be able to use it well."

"Yes." Zhao Hanyan agreed.

Lei Buzhi hurriedly said: "Of course there is a big case, because it is not yet confirmed, the lower officials dare not report it casually."

Lei Buzhi quickly submitted the dossier.

Zhao Hanyan took it, unfolded the complaint and read it carefully, frowned and said, "This is... a case from six years ago?"

Six years ago in Deping County, there were six boys aged seven or eight who went to play in a nearby ravine as usual and never came back.At that time, the county magistrate of Deping County mobilized all the strong men in the county to go into the mountain to search together. For three days, they searched twice, but found no trace of the children, and because there was no other evidence at that time, the matter has been put on hold until now. six years.

"An old case, or an old case that has not been solved, what are you talking about?" Bai Yutang asked Lei Buzhi dissatisfied.

Lei Buzhi couldn't help shrinking his neck, and hurriedly explained: "It's not old, but now this case has a clue, I just took a group of people yesterday, they are kidnappers who stole children!"

Zhao Hanyan sat down pretending not to know, asked Lei Buzhi to sit down as well, and asked him to explain what was going on.

"Yesterday, a caravan entered Deping County. There were 20 people in total, two carriages, and all of them were vicious. At first glance, they were not good people. The leader was a middle-aged man with a dark face. Coincidentally, yesterday It happened to be the death day of the six children who disappeared for six years. Bah, it can’t be called the death day, it means the day of the six years of disappearance. The parents of the six children came to the government office to plead, hoping that the government can investigate again and help find their disappearance child.

I think it's been six years since this case, so it must be out of the question.But I didn't expect that in the evening, two parents came to report to me, saying that their child was lost and could not be found no matter what, because they were afraid that the child would have an accident like six years ago, so they rushed to report.I immediately led all the Yamen to search around.I couldn't find the place where the children used to play, so I thought about it carefully. If the child was missing and was taken away, there must be a way to transport him out. In the evening, someone told me that a caravan entered Deping County. There are carriages.I don't think this matter should be delayed. We must consider the common people. In order to find the child, even if we wrongly arrest someone and lose our reputation, we must do it.So I led people to search the caravan last night. I didn't want them to have a watchman. I learned the news in advance and released the two children.The waiter saw the two children get off their carriage with his own eyes! "

"Maybe they just go there for fun?" Zhao Hanyan guessed.

"Yes, they are using this as an excuse!" Lei Buzhi said angrily, "They are kidnappers who specialize in catching other people's children and selling them. I asked the people in the caravan what kind of cloth business they were in, but half of the caravan There is no piece of cloth, not even a ruler to measure the cloth, how could it be a business caravan!"

It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Bao to kidnap children to sell them.What kind of black heart is also described, and the evidence of injustice is all based on one mouth. Such an official is really disgusting.Because of this, Bai Yutang's complexion turned even darker, and he couldn't bear this Lei Buzhi.

Zhao Hanyan then asked Lei Bu where the people in the caravan were.

"I originally wanted to put them all in the county government prison, but they spoke eloquently and insisted that they were innocent. They also said that the two children got into the car just for fun. They had the cheek to play tricks and asked me I need evidence to prove that they are guilty. I can't blame them!" Lei Buzhi said indignantly, "Because I thought of the six missing children, I would never let these people go so easily, so I sent someone to clear the inn where they were staying. Surround them, take care of them for the time being, and plan to interrogate the minions of their caravan first, and destroy them all!"

"Great!"

Zhao Hanyan patted Lei Buzhi on the shoulder in praise, praising him that he might make a great contribution this time, but the premise is that he must try the case well and report to the court with sufficient evidence.

Lei Buzhi nodded excitedly to Zhao Hanyan, feeling like he had met a confidant, "Yes, I think so too!"

"If these people are really kidnappers as you suspect, and they were the ones who kidnapped six boys in Deping County, then you will have solved a big case this time. I hope you can get rid of this as soon as possible." The case is resolved, when we go back, we can help you report this matter, and by the way, help you to say a few words, this is better than reporting it yourself." Zhao Hanyan then emphasized to Lei Buzhi, "Our Lord Bao is the most important. A magistrate who likes to do practical things like you may see that you are capable, so they will transfer you to Kaifeng Mansion, and you will be promoted to a second rank like me."

Every word Zhao Hanyan said reached Lei Bubu's heart.He nodded repeatedly, in fact, he had already thought so, sooner or later, he will definitely become a high official!

"But although I now know that these villains are in Deping County, there is not enough evidence, and we can't always send people to watch them without evidence and not allow them to leave." Lei Buzhi worried, "This is not a long-term solution. "

"I think you can try another method." Zhao Hanyan suggested.

Because Lei Buzhi was affirmed by Zhao Hanyan, he already had a good impression of Zhao Hanyan at the moment, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Hanyan what good way to do.

"Going to get you." Zhao Hanyan said, "You don't have enough evidence now, why bother to let him go first, send someone to follow him, and arrest him after you get the evidence."

"No, I've already threatened the snake. If I let them go, they will leave Deping County immediately and run away without a trace. I am just a small county magistrate with limited manpower. Where can I arrest them?" People go!" Lei Buzhi's eyes were firm, and his demeanor was even more so.

Zhao Hanyan found that Lei Buzhi was very smart when he said such things, not stupid at all, but why didn't he use his brain when deciding the case?

Zhao Hanyan didn't bring up the case again, but took the file of the silver theft case, checked it with Bai Yutang, and told Lei Buzhi to leave.

After Lei Buzhi resigned, he thought about it, and immediately set off to find the two children from last night.He had to get the testimony of the two children, and he had to get the children to admit that they were caught in the carriage.

"What do you think?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

"This kind of person is self-willed and persistent. He is a fan of officials and will not let go of this matter. In my opinion, the easiest way to do this is for Mr. Bao to confess his identity and return to Beijing as soon as possible. It only takes two days to hurry. At the foot of the emperor in the capital, I don't believe what will happen to those thieves." Bai Yutang immediately said that there is something, as long as he is around, he will definitely protect Mr. Bao's safety.

"You can protect Master Bao's safety, where is Pang Yu?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, and said with disdain: "I don't care about that dog thief, but there are others, let them protect them."

Zhao Hanyan moved his eyes, "No, since Mr. Bao wants to conceal the news, there must be a reason for concealing the news. If we deal with it so simply, we will cause Mr. Bao trouble, and no one can bear the responsibility."

"Then how do you intervene, Lei Buzhi, this kind of person, you look simple, but it is very troublesome to deal with. I have seen many officials like this before. To make it bigger is to let his meritorious service be promoted as soon as possible. This is not an example, it is common to all official fans. As long as it is a "good thing" that helps him get promoted, they are like holding on to life-saving straws. Catch it firmly, and you will never give up until you achieve your goal." Bai Yutang explained to Zhao Hanyan seriously.

Zhao Hanyan looked back at Bai Yutang in surprise: "You see this matter very deeply, and you can observe the mind better than me."

"I don't know what you are. The reason why I know this is because I have seen too many officials like this, and I have already figured out the temperament of these people." Bai Yutang sneered, and said to Zhao Hanyan, "I advise you not to move. What a brain, according to my method, I would like to see how rampant the Pang family will be at the foot of the imperial city. If one comes, I will kill one, and if ten come, I will kill ten. It just so happens that my knife is blunt recently. It’s been a long time since I’ve used a human bone to grind.”

"Don't make trouble, Brother Zhan didn't ask us to come to cause trouble." Zhao Hanyan held his chin and pondered for a while, then came up with an idea, "Yes!"

"How?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan incredulously.

"Since he is a fan of the government, we will simply accuse him of 'kidnapping' according to his wishes." Zhao Hanyan said.
