I am a consultant in Kaifeng

After the case in Li's mansion was solved, Du Xiaoning was still studying with Gongsun Ce in Kaifeng mansion.

The so-called study is actually sorting out the files in the library.

Bianjing is so big, there are always various things happening.There are several floors of the library in Kaifeng Mansion, and there are all kinds of things, even the price changes of tea, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

Du Xiaoning had nothing to do when she was free, so she went to look through various books and files. Mr. Gongsun had a great heart for her.

Therefore, Du Xiaoning just idled away in Kaifeng mansion, and when he didn't need to check in in Kaifeng mansion, he would go to Baiwei study.

Baiwei Study is a bookstore opened by Du Xiaoning with Du Ruoyu's support.It is very famous in Bianjing, and there are all kinds of books, and there are also some famous orphan copies.The second head is Pei Zhitui, a bookish young man, about the same age as Du Xiaoning, and unmarried.

In the past, Du Xiaoning often went to Baiwei Study. After arriving in Kaifeng Mansion, he had to take time to eat, drink and have fun with his friends, and also took time to go back to Baiwei Study.

And the third son is gentle and considerate, from an eighty-year-old lady to a three-year-old child, as long as the third son has met, she will be treated gently by her without distinction, which has led to a lot of fans in the past few years.The gate of the Du Mansion is imposing, and Du Ruoyu, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is so majestic, even if he is not at home, he looks like a town house, making people afraid to approach.

Fans dare not go to Du's Mansion, but they dare to go to Baiwei Study.

From time to time, fans would come to Baiwei Study to give the third son some small gifts, food and drink, all kinds of things.The third son went to Kaifeng Mansion, and he didn't go to the study for ten days and half a month, which caused her to be submerged in the hill of presents as soon as she went to the study.

As soon as Du Xiaoning arrived at the study, Pei Zhitui took her to a small room in the backyard. The room was full of small gifts from the older sisters, including flowers and grass and two little bastards?

The third son held a little bastard in one hand, and looked at the second master, Pei Zhitui.

Du Xiaoning: "Who sent this?"

Pei Zhitui:? ? ?

Pei Zhitui thought which two hundred and five actually sent two little bastards, isn't this scolding?

He thought about it seriously, "It seems to be the young master of the Li family."

The third young master almost thought he heard it wrong, "Who are you talking about?"

Pei Zhitui glanced at the third young master, "I said, he is the young master of the Li family."

Du Xiaoning: ""

Probably because the case of the Li Mansion was the first case Du Xiaoning came into contact with after arriving in Kaifeng Mansion, so her feelings for Li Zhen and Li Ping were a little special.When I usually have free time, I see any interesting little things, and people will send them to Li Ping.

The last time Du Xiaoning saw Li Ping, he found Zhang Ye's body in the peach forest. Gongsun Ce took her there to observe and study, and met Li Zhen and Li Ping, siblings.

That's when the little boy saw her and asked her when she might meet again.She just casually said that she had to go to Li's residence to see him in a few days.As a result, spring passed by in a blink of an eye, and midsummer came. The three young masters were either in Kaifeng Mansion reading files all day long or busy with socializing with friends, or they had to go to the study to scan the bills, and they didn't bother to visit Li Ping.

The third son didn't feel any guilt about his delay in going to Li's mansion, but the little boy was anxiously waiting in the mansion, so he simply sent two little bastards to beat around the bush and scold her.

Du Xiaoning was carrying two little bastards, and the little bastards' limbs were pulling in the air, staring at her.

After thinking about it, she took the two little bastards to the backyard.

The backyard of the study is quite large, with trees, flowers, grass and a feng shui pool, in which there is a solitary feng shui fish swimming around.

Putting down the two little cubs, the empty feng shui pool seemed to have a little more vitality.

Zhan Zhao took Li Ping to the study when Du Xiaoning let Xiao Wangba into the Fengshui pool.

When Zhan Zhao and Li Ping were led to the backyard, Du Xiaoning, who was squatting by the Fengshui pool, just stood up.

The tree planted by the Fengshui pool was full of flowers, and the third son in a frost-colored robe stood under the flower tree, looking handsome and graceful.

For a moment, I don't know whether it is the flowers that have attracted people's eyes, or the young master has confused people's hearts.

Li Ping saw Du Xiaoning and ran towards her with short legs.

He is still like Du Xiaoning when he first met him, he doesn't talk much, very quiet.

He stood in front of Du Xiaoning, tilted his head, and looked at Du Xiaoning with dark eyes.

Du Xiaoning couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch his cheek, and asked, "What bad thing have I done that you want to give me two little bastards?"

The little boy didn't speak.

Mr. Zhan walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "He ran to Kaifeng Mansion, and he was looking for you. I just happened to be free, so I took him here."

Mr. Zhan, who is not investigating cases every day or going out to do errands with Mr. Bao, unexpectedly has time to spare?

Du Xiaoning glanced at him.

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "There's something I can't figure out, and it just so happens that this little fellow went to Kaifeng Mansion to look for you."

Du Xiaoning:? ? ?

Du Xiaoning couldn't help but glanced at Mr. Zhan again, with the words "Are you kidding me" clearly written on his expression.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing in a low voice, "Anyway, Mr. Xiaoping and I are here, the third son is in charge of the meals?"

Xiaopingzi?

Du Xiaoning looked at the little boy next to him, when did this little guy get so familiar with Zhan Zhao?

Mr. Zhan looked around, clicked his tongue, and said, "There is only one Fengshui fish in the Fengshui pool, so you are a bit lonely?"

Du Xiaoning: "Originally there were several tails."

Zhan Zhao: "Why is there only one tail left now?"

The third son looked at Mr. Zhan with a smile, "I was eaten by the fat cat next door, and I didn't even spit out the bones."

Master Zhan:? ? ?

Third Young Master: "But it doesn't matter, now there are two little bastards to accompany it, so it won't be lonely."

Master Zhan: ""

Mr. Zhan had a blank face, and the third young master didn't seem to say anything, but every word made people feel that there was something in it.

Mr. Zhan feels that both he and Xiaopingzi have been connoted.

Du Xiaoning took Zhan Zhao and Li Ping to sit by the lotus pond. Pei Zhitui met Li Ping a few times, and learned from Du Xiaoning about the distressing and embarrassing experience of the little boy. abducted.

Du Xiaoning accompanied Mr. Zhan to make tea by the lotus pond.

Before Mr. Zhan came to Kaifeng Mansion, he was a hero of the rivers and lakes.Brewing tea and admiring flowers is a flashy and time-wasting pastime for the heroes of the rivers and lakes. There are many steps to make a cup of tea, and you are so particular about drinking it.

In short, even the best tea is just tea when it comes to Mr. Zhan.To Mr. Zhan, there is no obvious difference between the tea next to the official tea shop and the tea made by Du Xiaoning.

Zhan Zhao didn't express any dissatisfaction with Du Xiaoning's way of making tea. He even felt that Du Xiaoning was just sitting by the lotus pond, with the picturesque scenery behind her, and her posture of making tea was skillful and elegant, like flowing clouds and flowing water, very beautiful.

He just sat across from Du Xiaoning, watching Du Xiaoning make tea.

At first Du Xiaoning could ignore him, but he watched it again and again, as if he was addicted to it.

Du Xiaoning finally couldn't sit still anymore, she put down the tea set in her hand, and looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Master Zhan."

Probably the third son's expression was a bit serious, so a question mark slowly appeared on the top of Mr. Zhan's head.

Seeing his dazed look, the third young master couldn't help but smile.

"Today is not the day for Mr. Zhan to rest and take a bath. What are you doing in the study?"

"Didn't I just say that?" Mr. Zhan looked at the third young master in surprise, and said, "I'm here with Xiao Pingzi for dinner!"

Du Xiaoning: ""

It was the first time I saw Cengfan being so confident.

Seeing his appearance, Zhan Zhao smiled a little, and said, "There is a case that I can't figure out in some places, so I want to come out and get some air."

Can't figure out something about the case?

Du Xiaoning thought for a while and said, "Is it the case where Mr. Zhang came to beat the drum and plead guilty?"

That case is very simple.

Three days ago, a female corpse was found in the moat of Bianjing City. The deceased was named Ren Minling, who was 16 years old this year.

According to the autopsy, the little girl showed no signs of being violated before she died, but she was no longer a virgin.

There were no other fatal wounds on the body, and the little girl died of drowning.

Drowning is also divided into different situations. Some people stumbled and fell into the river, some people were pushed into the river, and some people might be tied and thrown into the river. Since we didn't find out where the little girl fell into the river, it is impossible to judge. Did Ren Minling commit suicide or homicide?

Just when Kaifeng Mansion was suffering from a headache, Mr. Zhang came to surrender.

Mr. Zhang is a scholar who has studied hard for many years. Now he has no intention of taking the imperial examination and works as a teacher in a private school.

Mr. Zhang came to surrender and said that Ren Minling was killed by him.

"Mr. Zhang said that he had taken a fancy to Ren Minling a long time ago. The little girl is good-looking. Although her background is not high, she is better than her innocent background. He originally wanted to come to propose marriage, but he thought that he was as old as Ren Minling's father. He made fun of him and even scolded him, so he wanted to cook rice with Ren Minling first, and then make plans."

Du Xiaoning silently poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao reached out to take the teacup, and accidentally touched Du Xiaoning's fingertips.The teacup was warm, but Du Xiaoning's fingertips were cold.

Zhan Zhao's fingers curled up involuntarily, and he quickly took the teacup and drank it vigorously.Putting down the cup, he saw the third young master opposite him looking at him speechlessly.

Lord Zhan coughed lightly, and then said calmly like a wolf with a big tail: "It's too hot, the tea made by the third son is so delicious, so I can't help but drink it up in one gulp."

The third son's phoenix eyes gave him a half-smile look, "I don't know, I thought Mr. Zhan was looking for someone to fight for wine."

Master Zhan dragged the topic back to the case as if nothing had happened, "Mr. Zhang said that he wanted to cook rice with Ren Minling, but after hearing this, Ren Minling cursed and humiliated him in every possible way. In a fit of anger, he pushed Ren Minling to the In the moat."

Du Xiaoning: "This confession is very problematic. Mr. Zhang may not be the murderer."

Zhan Zhao: "But no matter how we ask, Mr. Zhang still claims to be the murderer."

Mr. Zhan has handled eight hundred cases if not one thousand in these years, but he has never seen a murderer who is so eager to plead guilty as Mr. Zhang.

Du Xiaoning looked up at Zhan Zhao, "Do you think there is something hidden about Mr. Zhang's confession?"

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, his black eyes were filled with a smile, and his voice was also smiling, "Well, we couldn't ask, so we thought of the third young master who is very good at chatting. How dare you ask the third young master what he thinks about this matter?" ?”

Du Xiaoning:? ? ?
