Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

"My escape is a secret, and I only told it to one person." Qi Desheng was still a little hesitant, "Could it...could it be him?"

Bai Yutang: "Quickly tell me who it is."

"It's the guy who opened the door for us at the back door just now. His name is Wang Erhuan." Qi Desheng hurriedly explained, "Wang Erhuan's house was very close to mine. Later, the house caught fire and the house burned down. Life became more difficult, so his parents found him. I want to sell him to Pi's house. He is six years younger than me, but he takes good care of me. When I was beaten and scolded by Pi Qingshan, he would come over to take care of me at night and bring me medicine and food."

"But when he opened the door for us just now, I think he didn't treat you well." Zhao Hanyan recalled.

"We have always been like this in front of people. There can't be anyone who is good to me in this mansion, otherwise my father-in-law will beat and scold me."

Qi Desheng and Wang Erhuan have long been used to acting in front of others. Usually, Wang Erhuan's attitude towards Qi Desheng is the same as that of other servants, but in private, they talk about everything, and they are very close.

"The night I fled with Susu, he helped to open the back door for me and sent me out." Qi De still couldn't believe that Wang Erhuan would treat him like that.

"Only he knows, are you sure there is no second person?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

Qi Desheng nodded firmly.

Bai Yutang stood firm, took a look at Zhao Hanyan, and turned back the way he came.

Qi Desheng asked puzzledly, "Is this to arrest people?"

Zhao Hanyan nodded, she knew Bai Yutang had her own way, so she didn't worry about him.Turn around and tell Qi Desheng not to think too much, just follow her back to Kaifeng Mansion.

"Could it be him?" Qi Desheng didn't believe that Wang Erhuan could do such a thing, but he had some doubts. After all, it was a fact that his daughter was lost, and Wang Erhuan was the only one who knew.

"I'm not sure yet, but I'll know if I ask." Zhao Hanyan replied.

Qi Desheng lowered his head awkwardly, he didn't dare to think too much about whether Wang Erhuan did it or not.I only hope that Susu can be found quickly, and all the villains involved in the case can be brought to justice and their corpses cut into pieces!

After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Hanyan asked Qi Desheng to go back to his room to sort his clothes and rest.She hurried to find Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Bao, and wanted to know whether the matter of Boss Ge was confirmed.

After arriving at Sansi Hall, Zhao Hanyan only saw Gongsun Ce there.

Gongsun Ce was writing his confession at his desk, and it was the most critical final stage, so he didn't look up when he heard the report just now.After Gongsun Ce finished writing the last part intently, he put down his pen, and then hurriedly stood up and asked Zhao Han what he would gain from going to Pi's house.

Zhao Hanyan nodded and told Gongsun Ce that Bai Yutang was going to bring him back.

"Not Qi Desheng?" Gongsun Ce asked puzzled.

"He is very soft-tempered and has a good heart, not like him." Zhao Hanyan keenly noticed that Gongsun Ce seemed to be suspicious of Qi Desheng, "Could it be that Boss Ge has been found out to be Qian Shi's internal agent?"

Gongsun Ce nodded, and then handed Zhao Hanyan the confession he had just rewritten.

Before Ge Shuixian was born, although the old mother of the Ge family favored the younger sons, she also attached great importance to the eldest son.But since Ge Shuixian was born, the old mother of the Ge family loved her only granddaughter very much, and the fourth wife of the Ge family has benefited a lot from it.Over time, as the eldest son, Boss Ge became more and more unbalanced.Because he was greedy to get more of his mother's dowry, he had the idea of ​​wanting Ge Shuixian to disappear, and as time went by, this idea became stronger and stronger.During the Chinese New Year last year, Boss Ge finally made up his mind and found the kidnapper Qian Shi to make a deal with him.

"When we brought Boss Ge alone for interrogation, he started to feel guilty. When we mentioned Qianshi to him again, he couldn't hold back anymore, cried and confessed, saying that he regretted it."

Gongsun Ce briefly talked about the situation at that time, and then made some supplements.

It turned out that Boss Ge also frankly said that he thought that after Qian Shi took Ge Shuixian away, at most he would sell her to a wealthy family as a concubine, which was not too hard for Ge Shuixian.He never thought that Ge Shuixian would end up like this.

Regarding the situation where his niece was blinded and died tragically on the side of the road, Boss Ge repeatedly emphasized that he was also very sad, and wished he could skin Qian Shi and chop it into meat sauce.

Zhao Hanyan sneered in disbelief, "The second half of the confession tells how he regretted it, and how he didn't expect his niece to die. It's all nonsense. He didn't really regret it, but he lied and said these things in order to reduce the punishment."

Gongsun Ce nodded, "It's possible, but how can you be so sure? Could it be that you really saw through his heart?"

"I don't have such ability. It's not sad to just observe his performance last night. It's easy for people to relax their guard because of their appetite when eating, and show their feet."

Gongsun Ce nodded suddenly, "I see. It seems that we should be more careful when eating in the future, so as not to be seen by you."

Knowing that Gongsun Ce was joking, Zhao Hanyan brought him a cup of tea, then told Gongsun Ce about Pi Desheng's situation, and told him what method Bai Yutang should be using to interrogate Wang Erhuan.

"Forget it, we should resort to some extreme measures when necessary, and this case should not be delayed any longer." Gongsun Ce sighed.

Zhao Hanyan: "Sir, did you ask Boss Ge how he found Qian Shi?"

"He came here after inquiring about a kid from the same village."

"Baby, Kidnapper... It is very likely that we will exchange news."

Yazi is in the business of buying and selling boys and girls to make a difference.

Kidnap is the illegal abduction of people to sell, doing business without capital.

Hearing what Zhao Hanyan said, Gongsun Ce frowned: "I'll send someone to investigate the famous boys in the city. Maybe it's the news they gave me about Pi Susu's blindness."

"There is also the situation of the Minister of Rites, maybe some of them know about it." Zhao Hanyan added.

Gongsun Ce agreed, and immediately called Ma Han. He is smarter, and it would be better to let him handle the matter.

Ma Han: "If I took people and asked them directly, most of them wouldn't say anything. Those bastards are doing business, whether they are entering or exiting, they are very secretive. They dare not leak information to the government casually, for fear that no one will tell them in the future. I will do business with them. I will try my best to formulate the words, and it will be even better if I can catch evidence of their crimes. At that time, as long as there is a threat, everything will be revealed.”

"Sure enough, it is appropriate to send you there." Sun Ce praised, and let Ma Han do as he wanted.

After Ma Han agreed, he turned around and walked two steps away thinking of something, then turned his head and asked Zhao Hanyan if he was free at the moment.

"Want me to go with you?" Zhao Hanyan understood.

Ma Han scratched his head and agreed, "Brother Zhao is smarter than me, so we will get twice the result with half the effort if we go together."

Zhao Hanyan thought that Bai Yutang would have to wait a little longer, so he agreed and followed Ma Han.

Coincidentally, just as the two of them were about to leave the mansion, they saw Bai Yutang returning with Wang Erhuan in his arms.

So fast!

Zhao Hanyan saw that Wang Erhuan had his mouth tightly shut, his head was covered with sweat, his facial features were distorted, and he seemed to be enduring a lot of pain, so he took a look at Wang Erhuan, and found that his left arm was hanging motionless, as if it was broken.The arm may have been dislocated, but he endured the pain without saying a word.

Zhao Hanyan was wondering why he was so forbearing, when he saw Wang Erhuan sneaking a terrified glance at Bai Yutang. He didn't dare to take a second look, so he quickly closed his gaze, lowered his head and bit his lip hard, the bean-sized beads of sweat One by one they fell down.

It was only then that Zhao Hanyan realized that Bai Yutang was still 'cleaning up' him, and there was nothing left to do.It is estimated that Wang Erhuan is not allowed to speak out, otherwise he will be punished.I don't know what threat Bai Yutang used to make Wang Erhuan so obedient.

"Wang Erhuan admitted it. Two days ago, a boy named Zhou took the initiative to find him and asked him about Pi Susu. It happened that Qi Desheng was thinking about taking Susu away. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you talk about it, you can get 30 taels of gold, why not do it?”

After talking, Bai Yutang looked at Wang Erhuan sarcastically, and asked him if that was the case.

Wang Erhuan nodded in horror, sweating all over his forehead.

Bai Yutang sneered, and pushed down Wang Erhuan's arm with the handle of the knife.Martial arts practitioners have great strength, so when they touched him lightly, Wang Erhuan immediately hugged his arms and rolled all over the floor in pain, with tears and snot running down his nose.

"Ahh..." After Wang Erhuan yelled twice, she realized that she had accidentally uttered a sound, so she hurriedly shut her mouth.

"Where is this? Have you ever thought about what it's like to be blinded with a pair of good eyes? What's it like to be suffocated by someone strangling your neck from behind when you can't see your eyes? After you die, no one cares about being thrown on the side of the road. The taste of rot?" Bai Yutang's voice became colder as he spoke, "I'll let you taste how 'good' this taste is in a while."

Wang Erhuan's legs trembled with fright, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy, so he stood up reluctantly, covered in dirt, and repeatedly kowtowed to Bai Yutang for mercy.

Zhao Hanyan asked Wang Erhuan: "You only told this boy surnamed Zhou about Qi Desheng's escape with Susu that night?"

Wang Erhuan nodded, wanted to speak, but didn't dare, and looked at Bai Yutang.

"Say!" Bai Yutang was full of hostility.

"I've only told this one person. After I thought about it, I discussed with Zhou Yazi and decided on the next night. After returning, I told Qi Desheng to have a good day tomorrow, and God will bless him with success. Let's go at night, Qi Desheng didn't doubt me at all when I helped him, and he was very grateful to me.

In fact, when I let him go that night, I regretted it a bit, and I specifically asked him to take good care of Susu after he left the house, and to keep an eye on the child.If Yazi doesn't have the opportunity to take the child away, it's not my responsibility. I can keep the money, but I won't be sorry to Big Brother Qi. "

"Heh, you've got good calculations, you won't become a bad person if you get the money!" Zhao Hanyan sneered, and at this moment, he really felt that Bai Yutang's tormenting him was considered light.

Ma Han couldn't see it either, so it would be better to scold Wang Erhuan, and then asked him: "Your surname is Zhou, but the one from Donghuamen Street?"

Wang Erhuan nodded repeatedly.

Ma Han sternly said to Zhao Hanyan: "Then let's go get him first, and now there are witnesses, and it is confirmed that Zhou Yazi is related to Qian Shi. This is all right, there is no need to lie to Xiang Zhe, and bring him back for a tough trial." Just know."

Bai Yutang recruited two yamen servants and sent them to take Wang Erhuan to see Gongsun Ce, and then followed Zhao Hanyan and Ma Han.Ma Han felt pleasantly surprised, rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and looked at Bai Yutang adoringly from time to time.

"I have never handled a case with Bai Shaoxia before. This is the first time. Why are you still a little nervous?" Ma Han became a little incoherent when he was anxious.Obviously, the question he asked was the answer before it.

Zhao Hanyan tapped on Ma Han's head with the fan in his hand, telling him to be smarter, and reminding him that Mr. Gongsun just entrusted this matter to him because of his excitement.

Ma Han agreed again and again, but when he looked at Bai Yutang, he still had a silly face, and his admiration was beyond words.

Zhao Hanyan shook his head helplessly, thinking that Bai Yutang was to Ma Han, probably just like Yan Shu was to him back then.It is understandable that ordinary people will inevitably lose their minds when facing idols.

Zhao Hanyan left Ma Han alone, and briefly told Bai Yutang about Boss Ge.

"Qian Shiguai is very methodical and has his own contacts. Apart from having more choices to choose people, he can also use the information provided by these brats to find people as soon as possible, and then make plans in advance to smoothly recruit people. Abduct." After Bai Yu talked, he mentioned Qian Shi's previous trip to Kaifeng Mansion to take Lan'er away, "It can be seen that he is a bold and careful person. Moreover, this person is very good at disguising. If you meet him for the first time, just Judging from the appearance and speech, it will give people the impression of being easy-going, courteous and kind, and will not arouse people's vigilance."

Ma Han stared straight at Bai Yutang, and couldn't help clapping his hands. Since they were on the street now, it was difficult to clap loudly, so Ma Han clapped his hands lightly and silently to show his admiration for Bai Yutang.

"It's very well said, every sentence is in place. But this kind of words used to be said by little cooks, and Bai Shaoxia can do it now. It's too powerful. Not only is the skill good, but also people's hearts." Ma Han scratched his head, Self-examination, "I have also been with the little cook for a long time, why don't I have this ability."

"Yes, it's amazing." Zhao Hanyan followed with admiration.

Bai Yutang looked away at Zhao Hanyan: "Not half as good as you."

"But I don't have the skills. Overall, you are still many times better than me." Zhao Hanyan praised Bai Yutang without hesitation.

Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing, and blocked Zhao Hanyan's hand with his hand, "It's better to be better than you, I'm your big brother, I should take care of you."

"Wow——" Ma Han cast his envious eyes on Zhao Hanyan immediately, wishing he could become her, "I want to know what are the requirements of being a little brother of Bai Shaoxia, and I will see if I can work hard."

"Stop dreaming."

Ma Han's sweet dream was immediately ruthlessly shattered.

Ma Han cried and approached Zhao Hanyan with a mournful face, begging Zhao Hanyan to comfort him.

When Bai Yutang saw that Ma Han's shoulder was an inch to the left, he would bump into Zhao Hanyan, and told him to lead the way quickly, and don't waste time investigating the case.

When it came to the case, Ma Han's expression immediately became serious, and he quickly walked ahead.

"Although the case has not been solved, there is no need to tense your head all the time. The result of hard thinking will only drive you into a headache and you will easily go crazy. It becomes easier to relax properly and think from a different angle." Zhao Hanyan dialogue Yutang said.

Bai Yutang asked Zhao Hanyan uncertainly, "Are you... speaking for Ma Han?"

"I'm telling you, don't think about things if you don't understand, let alone go to the roof in cold weather and think about it."

Bai Yutang didn't understand the chicken soup that was brewed with great difficulty.

Zhao Hanyan then asked Bai Yutang how he was and if he still felt unwell.

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I've been fine for a long time."

Zhao Hanyan nodded and continued to move forward.

Bai Yutang slowed down, looked at Zhao Hanyan's back, and followed step by step, thinking a lot along the way.

"Here we are, this is the one." Ma Han pointed to the house in front of him.

The yellow mud wall, half-old black painted wooden door, the height of the wall only reaches Zhao Hanyan's neck, and the situation in the courtyard is clear at a glance.There are three tile-roofed houses and a backyard.

Zhao Hanyan knocked on the door, and someone in the room responded immediately, and then a fat girl about 34 years old walked out.

Ma Han hurriedly whispered to Zhao Hanyan: "This is Yazi Zhou."

"Female?" Zhao Hanyan asked in surprise.

"Didn't I say that?" Ma Han scratched his head, repeatedly apologizing.

The door opened, and Zhou Yazi looked at the three people at the door with a strange face: "What do you do?"

"Does Qian Shi know him?" Zhao Hanyan asked immediately.

Zhou Yazi was stunned for a moment, then she saw the knives on Bai Yutang and Ma Han's waists, turned around and was about to run.Ma Han rushed forward, grabbed Zhou Yazi's arm, and pushed her to the ground.

"It doesn't matter to me, it really doesn't matter." Zhou Yazi panicked.

"Do you know why we are looking for you?" Zhao Hanyan asked Zhou Yazi after revealing the identity of Kaifeng Mansion.

"For the sake of Pi Susu, I heard that Qian Shi died." Zhou Yazi replied honestly with his head bowed.

Afterwards, under Zhao Hanyan's questioning, Zhou Yazi honestly explained her relationship with Qian Shi.She met Qian Shi six years ago. At first, Qian Shi asked her to buy a dumb boy.Originally, the dumb boy Zhou Yazi had already been sold, so he was about to give it away, but Qian Shi was willing to pay ten times the price to buy it back, but Zhou Yazi was generous, so naturally he was willing to do business with him for a long time.Basically, Qian Shi can come to her place two or three times a year to ask and choose people.If there is no suitable one, if Zhou Yazi can provide clues, he will also get money.After a long time, Zhou Yazi also gradually realized that Qian Shi's business is special, which is very different from ordinary boys like them.

"The customers he entertains have some strange hobbies, but they also pay a lot of money. I also heard that there are many princes and grandchildren here. After all, none of them are easy to mess with. He didn't reveal a single name to me. He has business. When he couldn't find anyone, he would come to me and ask. Pi Susu was the one who asked me a few days ago. I didn't do anything except help spread the word. Isn't Pi Susu I took it away!" Zhou Yazi cried and cried for injustice.

"You're still wronged! If it wasn't for you, Pi Susu would have been abducted by him? Please tell me how many children in this capital have contacts with him." Ma Han scolded.

"Aunt You on Cross Street is closer to him. My husband once saw him staying at Aunt You's house with his own eyes."

Ma Han then escorted Yazi Zhou and asked her to lead the way to see Aunt You.

On the way, Zhao Hanyan discussed a way to get Zhou Yazi to cooperate, telling her that she might get a lighter sentence from Kaifeng Mansion.Zhou Yazi had no choice but obediently agreed.

The three arrived at Aunt You's house, and knowing that she was not there, Yazi Zhou took them to another residence of Aunt You.

"You guys are really rich, and you have more than one place to live." Ma Han sighed with a sneer.

"There will be more yards, and some places will house bought boys and girls."

When Yazi Zhou arrived at the place, he met Aunt You with a smile and asked her if there were any beautiful girls here to choose from.

"Yes, I'm afraid you can't afford it." Aunt You always looked down on Yazi Zhou, she sneered, turned her head to look at Bai Yutang, Zhao Hanyan and others, and asked in surprise, "Who are these three?"

"I can offer 50 taels of gold, will you sell it?" Zhou Yazi asked.

Aunt You was stunned when she heard the amount of money, looked suspiciously at Zhou Yazi, and then asked who the three people with her were.

Zhou Yazi pretended to pull Aunt You aside, but said to her in a volume that everyone could hear: "I won't hide it from you, this is Qian Shi's client—a subordinate, come to ask me to buy someone."

"Qian Shi's?" Aunt You stared wide-eyed in shock, "How is this possible! Besides, everyone else is dead, and you dare to take over his business?"

"Why don't you dare, it's the other person who died, and someone has to continue to take over his work, why can't it be me." Zhou Yazi glanced at Aunt You, "I'll ask you if you can sell it or not!"

"No, Qian Shi never said who his customers are, how did you know?" Aunt You showed more doubts in her eyes, she just didn't say anything when she saw Yazi Zhou, frowning and driving away, "If you don't sell, you go!"

"Not for sale? No one will give you such a high price except me. Don't be foolish and have trouble with money just to fight against me!" Zhou Yazi said in surprise.

"Whoever fights with you, I can sell it at a higher price."

Zhou Yazi wanted to increase the price, so Mrs. You didn't want to sell it anyway and drove them away.

Then Zhou Yazi was taken to Kaifeng Mansion by Ma Han, while Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang stayed where they were, looking at Zhou Yazi.

The two originally planned to stand for a while, and then leave when someone from Kaifeng Mansion came to replace them.Not wanting Aunt You to go out so soon, Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang had no choice but to follow quickly. Afraid of being recognized by her, Zhao Hanyan saw a straw hat seller on the way, and bought two straw hats for Bai Yutang to wear.

The two of them followed Aunt You all the way to Zhouqiao, and when they walked further, they saw her enter Wangyou Pavilion.
