Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

"The two girls are dressed in gold and silver, and they are both literate. You can tell from their hands that their life in the mansion is not hard, and they can even be said to be very enjoyable. Besides, the reason why the servants in the mansion are confused by the two of them The words are intimidating, and it also shows that the two of them are in charge of the mansion, and their words carry some weight.

After being abducted, their life and death are in the hands of the 'master', and they are very grateful because the master allows them to survive and allow them to live in dignity.Years of life have given them a strong feeling of dependence on their master. Everything about the master is everything to them, even at the expense of their own lives for him. "

After listening to Zhao Hanyan's explanation, Chao Mahan and the others sighed endlessly.

Zhao Hu: "It sounds reasonable, but it's still hard to understand. Why are they so stupid? Could it be that they can't even understand such a simple truth? If they hadn't been held hostage by the 'master' back then, they wouldn't have been arrested at all."

"Everyone here is strong-willed, of course not, but it's not uncommon for girls who are disabled and young to have this kind of emotion. They are different from ordinary people, whether it is Both physically and mentally are weaker, and it is easier to rely on others emotionally, coupled with the long hijacking time, it is easier for the 'master' to treat them well."

After Bao Zheng listened carefully, he nodded and praised Zhao Hanyan for his thorough thinking.

"Among us men, little brother Zhao has the most delicate mind, and sees the most deeply when thinking about things. In contrast, I feel lazy and don't use my brain very much." Gongsun Ce said in self-criticism.

Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "Sir, don't say that. You read by candle every day and say you are lazy, so I am nothing."

"Of course you are nothing." Ma Han couldn't help but continued, feeling that Zhao Hu had the nerve to compare himself with Mr. Gongsun.

"When you talk about me, it's like talking about yourself!" Zhao Hu glared at him.

"You guys are strong in martial arts, and it's easy to catch the thieves. Mr. Gongsun is knowledgeable, good at medical skills, autopsy, and got a lot of clues about the murderer, allowing us to catch the murderer based on evidence.

Everyone gathered together to show their strengths, punish rape and eliminate evil, so that those thieves who do evil have nowhere to escape. "

Bao Zheng just comforted them, and then said: "So at this time, everyone should brainstorm and think about what to do next."

"Shopkeeper Xue doesn't know why, but I always feel that something is wrong, a bit sinister." Zhan Zhao frowned worriedly, "I'm afraid someone would refuse to admit it."

"We searched afterwards and found a food box in Ms. Zhang's room. There were eight dishes, a plate of dim sum, and four pancakes in the food box. Just now I asked someone to test the poison, and there was no poison." Zhang Long saw the opportunity and hurried Report the situation.

"You're confused. How could it be that there is poison in the food, and those servants are drinking wine." Ma Han reminded helplessly.

Gongsun Ce: "Yes, even if there is poison in the food box, it is wrapped in paper and passed on. After the things are taken away, there is no evidence in the food box. The shopkeeper Xue is afraid that there is no evidence. I am afraid that I will quibble and refuse to submit. .”

"Paper package...nine plates...but an ordinary food box has three layers, and each layer can only hold two dishes side by side," Zhao Hanyan asked Zhang Long what kind of food box he saw.

"It's an ordinary three-layer box, rectangular. Originally, only two dishes can be placed on one layer, but when they put it in, another dish was stacked between the two dishes, so that nine dishes can be packed on three layers. "Zhang Long replied.

"Then what dishes are there on each floor?" Zhao Hanyan asked again.

Zhao Hu was puzzled and said, "What time is this? What's the use of researching what kind of food it is? I haven't eaten it anyway."

"Think." Bai Yutang said to Zhang Long.

Zhang Long met Bai Yutang's icy eyes, nodded hurriedly, looked at the ceiling and thought carefully.

"Brother Zhao must have his own intentions in asking this matter, so don't talk too much at the moment." Gongsun Ce said to Zhao Hu in a low voice.

Zhao Hu nodded hurriedly, knowing that he was being stupid again.

Zhang Long tried his best to recall the general idea: "The first layer is crystal cake, fried shrimp, and fried fish, the second layer is vinegared fish, fried mustard greens, boiled crab, and the third layer is stewed chicken and what, I really can't remember." gone."

Afraid of delaying the matter because of his bad memory, Zhang Long immediately said that he would send someone to fetch the food box.

"Is the first floor sure?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

Zhang Long nodded, "It's definitely true, because I like fried things."

Zhao Hanyan got up and said goodbye to Bao Zheng, and went to Zhang Mansion for another trip.

Bao Zheng: "What's the matter?"

"The paper containing the poison, I want to look for it. Those servants died not long before we arrived. Miss Zhang and Miss Lv Er were still in the room at that time, and Miss Zhang still had a handicap. I think the paper is probably in the room." After they finished taking the medicine, they just threw it somewhere."

"I'll go with you," Bai Yutang said.

Bao Zheng agreed, hoping to find some clues to add to the case.

Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang immediately bid farewell and left.

At this moment, Ma Han suddenly thought of a solution: "We can also trick shopkeeper Xue, maybe he will recognize it just like Boss Ge."

"Shopkeeper Xue is much smarter than Boss Ge. This trick may not work. But we can try it. Once it works, we will be lucky." Gongsun Ce said, then turned to look at Bao Zheng, asking for his opinion.

Bao Zheng agreed, "We can give it a try. But the most important witnesses right now are the two girls Zhang Da and Lu Er. Even if they are devoted to protecting their master, we can't give up on this and try our best to find a way to break this matter. "

"Is there anything else I can do? I think the two of them are dead-headed, and they won't turn back when they hit the south wall." Ma Han had a frowning face. The case was not solved, and he was in a bad mood.

"Try to find out the background of the two of them, and see if they can find their parents. Besides, since they trust their master so much, why not let them contact the 'master'." Bao Zheng said.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, and asked Bao Zheng: "Your Excellency, you mean that we will be a fake 'master'?"

Bao Zheng nodded.

Gongsun Ce's eyes lit up, and he said again and again: "This is a good idea. They won't tell us, but they will definitely talk about everything to their master."

Bao Zheng asked Gongsun Ce to arrange this matter, and told Gongsun Ce to make a good design from the perspective of the 'master', and don't let Miss Zhang and Miss Lu Er find out the abnormality, otherwise the success will be in vain.

Gongsun Ce accepted the order, and asked Bao Zheng to rest assured, "The students will ask Brother Zhao to help analyze their temperament later. She thinks more deeply than all of us, and the students will proceed according to her opinions."

Bao Zheng nodded reassuringly. At this time, the servant came to urge him to ask Bao Zheng to leave as soon as possible, otherwise he might provoke Holy Wrath.

Gongsun Ce then locked himself in the study, thinking about how to 'associate' with the two girls in the prison as a 'master'.

Zhao Hu and Ma Han are also planning to go out to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to search the case files of the past ten years to see if there are any missing girls who match the situation of Miss Zhang and Miss Lu Er, so as to determine their life experiences.

When the two left, they happened to see the back of Bao Zheng getting into the car in a hurry.Zhao Hu rubbed his chin and sighed in confusion: "What makes our lord so anxious? It's not long since the daylight."

Ma Han sneered: "What can it be? Of course that Grand Master Pang has tripped up our lord again. I didn't intend to hear this morning that the Holy Majesty sent someone to inform our lord Bao late last night, ordering to see him as soon as possible this morning."

Zhao Hu: "It sounds very urgent, but how do you know that Grand Master Pang did the trick?"

"Every time Grand Master Pang files a complaint, His Majesty will send someone to inform Sir Bao, to see him as soon as possible."

"Is that so? I didn't realize it." Zhao Hu scratched his head, suddenly realizing.

"That's why you have no brains." Ma Han sighed helplessly, telling Zhao Hu to get on his horse quickly.

After the two arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they wanted to find Yan Shu, but they never thought that Yan Shu was not there, and they were caught by Song Tingkong, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

When Song Tingkong saw Ma Han and Zhao Hu, he immediately stopped them and asked about this morning's case.

"I heard that you found 48 corpses in a house, and the murderers were two disabled women?" Song Tingkong asked.

Ma Han and Zhao Hu agreed.

"Has your lord figured out how to deal with such a big case?" Song Tingkong asked again.

Ma Han and Zhao Hu looked at each other, not knowing what to say, saying that too many inaccurate speculations would lead to variables, and saying no, I'm afraid Song Shangshu would mistake Master Bao for incompetence.

"Master Bao has divided his troops into three groups and instructed his subordinates to investigate and deal with it." Ma Han replied cleverly.

Song Tingkong heard that the troops were divided into three groups, and sighed with a smile: "As expected of Mr. Bao, I already have a clue."

Song Tingkong then asked the two why they came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After learning about their needs, Song Tingkong immediately sent his subordinates to help them investigate, and invited them to drink tea in the room and take a rest.

After learning that Bao Zheng had just been announced into the palace by the Holy Majesty, Song Tingkong couldn't sit still, and asked Ma Han and Zhao Hu to do whatever they wanted, and he got up and left.

Soon after, Song Tingkong appeared outside the Chuigong Hall.

Zhao Zhen was shocked when he heard about the case this morning. More than 40 people had died in the imperial city before the morning was over.

Zhao Zhen had just listened to Bao Zheng's explanation of the case, and before he had time to express his opinion, some eunuchs reported back and forth, saying that Song Tingkong had come.

Zhao Zhen immediately frowned and rubbed his temples with his hands.It's not that he doesn't like Song Tingkong, it's that Song Tingkong can bring him something to worry about every time he comes.Today, the big case that Bao Zheng said made him worry, Song Tingkong brought another headache, Zhao Zhen felt that he was not in the mood to eat meat this day.Even his cousin's craftsmanship is hard to swallow, well, if it's really made by his cousin, he can still eat two yuan, no, six yuan.

"Xuan!" Zhao Zhen's tone sank a bit.

After Song Tingkong invited the gift, seeing that Bao Zheng was really there, he hurriedly asked Zhao Zhen if he knew about the major case that happened in Beijing this morning.

"Hmm." Zhao Zhen agreed, looking at Song Tingkong defensively, always ready to listen to him about important matters.

"Forty-eight people died in an instant, and the incident happened in the imperial city. How can the people in the city not panic when it is so horrifying? What's even more strange is that the murderers were two disabled women. There is an inside story. This case is already a headache. There are many big and small matters in the Kaifeng Mansion that need to be dealt with by Mr. Bao every day. In the past half a month, three royal family members and dignitaries have caused troubles in Tokyo. Thanks to Mr. Bao's impartial law enforcement, punished them."

Song Tingkong implored Zhao Zhen to be considerate of Bao Zheng, to send more manpower to Kaifeng Mansion, and to reward Bao Zheng for his meritorious deeds.

Zhao Zhen didn't immediately pay attention to Song Tingkong's words, but sent someone to call Grand Master Pang.Counting the time now, his old man should have arrived almost.

Sure enough, as Zhao Zhen expected, Grand Master Pang heard that there was a big case in Tokyo early in the morning, so he immediately packed up his official robes and hurried into the palace.

The eunuch who greeted him just came out of the Chui Gong Hall and hadn't walked a few steps. When he saw someone, he hurried back the same way to report to Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen saw Grand Master Pang, he smiled and sighed, "I knew Grand Master would come, so I specially sent someone to greet him."

Grand Master Pang was secretly proud, but on the face he saluted politely, expressing his deep fear to Zhao Zhen and thanking the emperor for his favor.Usually this kind of thing is not uncommon, Grand Master Pang just thanked him casually and it was over, I didn't feel much.

But today Bao Zheng and Song Tingkong are both here, and the two he hates most in the court are together. Grand Master Pang is very loud in thanking him, so they can see how he is respected by the emperor.

Bao Zheng had a cold face, his expression remained motionless.

Song Tingkong did the same, he didn't even look at Grand Master Pang.

Seeing the two of them like this, Grand Master Pang shook his sleeves in displeasure, and stood on the other side, resolutely not to be with them.

Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, and said to Song Tingkong: "What did Song Aiqing just say?"

Song Ting hurriedly cupped his hands, repeating what he said just now.

After hearing these words, Taishi Pang was very angry, and immediately refuted Song Tingkong's nonsense, and then pointed out that Kaifeng Mansion not only should not be rewarded, but the government servants also bullied others, and Bao Zheng was guilty of lax control.

"Who did you bully? Grand Master?" Song Tingkong sighed amusedly, "There is no one in the sky who doesn't know that Grand Master is a high-ranking old man. If you are under one person, who would dare to deceive you? If you really deceived you, how could Grand Master be so energetic?" Standing here with vigor? It’s really not that I’m tearing down the stage. It’s the grand master. No one will believe you when you say this. Because everyone dare not offend the grand master, and no one has the kindness to remind the grand master, so today the bad guy is still me. Do it, I respect the grand master as an elder, so I will naturally pour out my heart and soul."

Master Pang snorted coldly when he heard Song Tingkong's so-called "exhausting his heart and lungs", did he really think he was stupid?Can't hear him mocking himself?

"Song Shangshu's ears may not be very good. The old man only said that he had seen someone with an arrogant attitude. He never said that anyone bullied the old man. Who is the old man, and I forgive them for not having the guts to offend him. But they got along with the one who lost the child. Sheng partnered to bully Pi Qingshan, this is a fact, many people can testify, it is irrefutable."

"I've also heard about this. I heard that the family has always been unkind to the son-in-law who came to the house. There are countless examples of beating or scolding. It was because the Pi family was rude that day, so the officials in Kaifeng Mansion would talk to them. Reasonable, did not do anything at all, let alone hurt anyone. I don’t know what kind of “bullying” is in the eyes of Grand Master Pang. The Pi family’s beating or scolding their son-in-law Qi Desheng is not bullying? Qi Desheng went back to the old house to get some things. Just help him argue with his family, is it considered 'deception'?"

"Song Shangshu is really eloquent, but what is false is always false and cannot be true. It is the hype you said, which makes people feel credible, but it is not true after all. Dare I ask Song Shangshu, is there any evidence for what you said?"

Song Tingkong glanced at Grand Master Pang and said nothing.

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and you can find out the reason for it? I'll ask you again, you said that the Pi family bullied Qi Desheng, do you have evidence?" Seeing that Song Tingkong couldn't answer, Grand Master Pang smiled. Deepen, "This old man is also for the good of Song Shangshu, so I want to persuade Song Shangshu, don't talk nonsense. This is not something you can say whatever you want by moving your mouth."

Song Tingkong: "Then where is the evidence for Grand Master Pang?"

Grand Master Pang immediately told Song Tingkong that if he wanted evidence, he could find someone to testify to him.

Song Tingkong couldn't help but sneered and said: "The grand master is right, you can indeed find someone to be a witness immediately, it's easy."

Song Ting Kongming is obviously ridiculing Pang Taishi's manipulation of power and perjury.

"What do you mean by that!" Taishi Pang's eyes widened in anger.

Song Tingkong: "It doesn't mean much, I just listen to Grand Master Pang and I'll follow along."

Taishi Pang snorted again angrily.

Zhao Zhen watched the two quarreling coldly from the sidelines, with the mentality of watching the excitement, and waited until the quarrel was over.Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng and asked him what he thought.

Taishi Pang and Song Tingkong looked at Bao Zheng at the same time.

"I'm waiting for evidence." Bao Zheng said wisely.

Zhao Zhen froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Since the three of you all said that the evidence is important, then I will wait for the actual evidence, but remember not to falsify." Zhao Zhen said.

The three received the holy order together.

Song Tingkong continued to ask for credit for Bao Zheng.

Grand Master Pang stood aside to stop him: "It would be too ridiculous to talk about asking for credit before the case is solved. Kaifeng Mansion is busy, so who is not busy? Which minister in the court is not busy with government affairs? Let's talk about the Ministry of Rites. , for nearly half a month, he was so busy with the sacrificial matter that he couldn't even eat a single meal a day. But who said that he worked hard, please give him credit for it?"

Bao Zheng hurriedly told Zhao Zhen that everything he did was doing his duty, and there was no need for rewards at all.

"But such a big case happened, and it's reasonable that Kaifeng Mansion is short of manpower." Song Tingkong emphasized.

"Since Master Song is so sympathetic to Kaifeng Mansion, why don't you participate in this case. Presumably with your help, the case will be solved soon." Grand Master Pang said immediately.

Zhao Zhen was worried that such a big case would be a bit difficult for Bao Zheng alone.So he took advantage of the situation and echoed Taishi Pang's words, and Zhun Song Tingkong also participated in the case.

Song Tingkong thanked him for accepting the decree.Bao Zheng also thanked the emperor for his compassion.

After the three came out of the Chui Gong Hall, Grand Master Pang naturally did not go with them, and left quickly.But as he walked, Grand Master Pang realized that something was wrong. He came here today to deal with Bao Zheng in the case of the Kaifeng Mansion, but in the end it ended up in a confrontation with Song Tingkong. In the end, everyone was evenly divided. , and a helper!

Taishi Pang was very annoyed and wanted to see his daughter Pang Xiaowan instead.I asked someone to send a message, but my daughter refused to see me because she was not feeling well.

One thing goes wrong, and another thing is blocked.

Taishi Pang was not in the mood to manage government affairs, and went home full of anger.

After he returned home, he happened to hear the sound of Pang Yanqing playing the piano, so Grand Master Pang went straight to the Yanhuo Pavilion.

Pang Yanqing focused on playing the piano, not knowing who was coming.When the song was over and hearing the applause, Pang Yanqing realized that it was his father who had come.

Pang Yanqing hurriedly got up and greeted Grand Master Pang.

Grand Master Pang looked at Pang Yanqing's handsome face, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like himself.

Grand Master Pang then sat down: "Did you kill the man?"

Grand Master Pang asked so suddenly that Pang Yanqing didn't react and looked at Grand Master Pang puzzled.

"You are my son, how can I not understand you. A few days ago, Qingfeng disappeared suddenly, and Wangchen just left the residence." Grand Master Pang said.

Pang Yanqing nodded, "It's me."

"It's that simple?" Grand Master Pang asked Pang Yanqing incredulously, "He's your cousin!"

"He is a person who does all kinds of evil and has done all kinds of bad things. If my elder brother hadn't been influenced by him, he wouldn't have ended up where he is today." Pang Yan finished his explanation and added a special sentence. "He should have died long ago."

"You—" Grand Master Pang was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he even found Pang Yanqing staring back at him, "Are you blaming your father for not teaching your elder brother well, and leaving bad people by your elder brother's side?"

Pang Yanqing didn't speak, and faced each other in silence.

Of course Grand Master Pang understood what Pang Yanqing's silence meant.He was so angry that he wandered around the room for a while, and finally pointed at Pang Yanqing, asking him if he still had his father in his eyes.

Pang Yanqing looked back at Taishi Pang, "Of course, I hope my father will be better!"

"If you wish me well, then take care of yourself and don't kill people indiscriminately. If there is another time, you won't see Wangchen again." Grand Master Pang threatened.

Hearing these words, Pang Yanqing smiled faintly, "Father can't control me, but he threatened me with Wangchen. The key point is that this method is useless. I would even give up my own life, so why would I care about others."

Pang Yanqing poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.Seeing that Grand Master Pang was still staring at him coldly, he took another teacup and poured a cup for Grand Master Pang.

Taishi Pang had no intention of drinking tea, but before he left, he took another look at Pang Yanqing with a bit of grief.He didn't say the words that were too heavy, because he knew it would be useless to say them, and it would make the child resist him even more.

"I thought he was much better in the past two years, but I didn't expect it to get worse and worse." Grand Master Pang complained immediately after seeing his wife Zheng.

"This kid can't be forced, and what happened back then can't happen to him again." Mrs. Zheng asked Grand Master Pang not to criticize Pang Yanqing, "When Qingfeng died, he died. That's my mother's family. I don't feel sorry for you, but you What."
