Come to borrow a book to read, who thought you would come! "

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Is it that simple?"

"Of course!" Mai Ying blurted out, and then looked away a little guilty.

Zhan Zhao flipped through the scroll again, and said with a smile, "Since it's a borrowed book, why do you have to sneak around and hide it?"

Mai Ying blinked, and was about to ask him why he was sneaky, when he saw that there was a stack of papers in Zhan Zhao's hands at some point.Her expression changed, and she hurriedly touched her sleeve, but the things hidden there had long since disappeared.

"Give it back to me!" Mai Ying instinctively reached out to grab it, but Nai Hezhan's guard skills were much better than hers.She tried to snatch her but was caught by Zhan Zhao's wrist.

"I really don't mean to offend you, but I'm afraid Miss Mai will have to go back to the government office with me this time." Zhan Zhao smiled at her and waved the stack of papers in his hand.

Mai Ying couldn't break free, so she had to grit her teeth and compromise, but she was always on the lookout, planning to find a chance to steal those papers and then run away with oil on her feet.

No.40 The second round of case handling is still old and hot

Guard Zhan escorted Mai Ying and walked towards the government office together with Bai Yutang. Halfway there, he suddenly saw a familiar figure come into his sight.

"Fifth Master, Fifth Master!" Bai Fu was out of breath, "Bai An has sent news that he has picked up Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun."

"Understood." Bai Yutang nodded and waved him away.

"What's going on?" Zhan Zhao faced him, quite puzzled, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were accompanying him to protect him, why did Bai Fu come to report?

Bai Yutang glanced at him, but didn't say anything, because he was still upset because his wife was looking at other women just now.

Guard Zhan rubbed his nose, feeling a little... wanting to vomit blood.

The three continued to walk back, but the atmosphere with each other was much duller and more embarrassing than before.

Walking to the gate of the government office, he saw a carriage parked there, Zhan Zhao thought for a while, handed the suspect, Miss Mai, to a servant, and went straight to Bao Zheng's study.

"My lord!" Before his feet stepped over the threshold, Zhan Wei took a sharp look at Bao Zheng, who was still following Gongsun.

Bao Zheng turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the familiar face of his Zhanwei, he couldn't help but nodded with a chuckle, "I never imagined that so many things would happen after I was away for a few days."

Zhan Zhao lowered his head, "This subordinate is ashamed..."

Bao Zheng patted him on the shoulder, "This government is not blaming you, you don't have to blame yourself." He walked slowly into the study with Zhan Zhao and Gongsun, "I need Zhan's guard to tell this government in detail about the case."

Zhan Zhao cupped his hands, sat around the table with Bao Zheng and Gongsun, and reported the case and the results of the investigation in the past few days to them in detail.By the time everything was explained, the sky had already darkened.

The lights in the room were flickering, and Bao Zheng stared at the candlelight, silent for a long time.

"That's how things are. This subordinate has brought back that girl Mai Ying, and she is being guarded by the yamen servants. Your Excellency can see her at any time." Zhan Wei said.

"The whole matter, I still need to study the whole matter with you, and I'm afraid you need to check the corpse again." Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun inquiringly, and the latter nodded.

"Since that's the case, the subordinates will leave first. Sir and sir can call at any time if they need something." Zhan Zhao grabbed the giant gate next to him and stood up.

"Guard Zhan," before Zhan Zhao turned to leave, Bao Zheng called him in time, "Go back and thank Shaoxia Bai on behalf of the mansion."

Zhan Zhao was stunned.

"If he didn't have the heart to send someone to meet us and escort us all the way back, I'm afraid the two of us wouldn't have rushed back in such a timely manner." Bao Zheng showed a kind smile, and even his dark face like ink had become dark at this moment. A lot more vivid.

He left the study in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, Zhan Zhao was already standing in front of the door of his room.

He reached out to cover the door, but he didn't rush to push the door open.

Thinking that he would see Bai Yutang's face after opening the door, he felt a little guilty for some reason.

Obviously he didn't do anything!Why would you feel guilty? !

Zhan Weiwei rubbed his forehead, thinking that he must have been too nervous recently because of his mental collapse, so he had an illusion.

Shaking his head, Zhan Zhao tried to wake himself up, then took a deep breath and pushed the door open with force.

The room was pitch black, and it was obvious that no lights were lit.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth, and was about to ask, but he was caught off guard in a firm embrace.

He instinctively wanted to push it away, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't make much resistance.

"Yutang." After a long time, he tentatively spoke out. Although the other party didn't respond, he tightened his arms.Zhan Zhao smiled wryly, put his arm around his neck, and leaned over to kiss him on the chin.

"Don't think that if you take the initiative, I won't care about your staring at other women." Fifth Master pinched his daughter-in-law's chin with his hands, with a cold and domineering expression.

Guard Zhan couldn't laugh or cry, "Do you believe what other women say?" He rubbed his hands on Bai Yutang's hair, and said slowly: "I'm just investigating the case impartially, so how can I have time to see girls?" He didn't like to eat it without this mouse by his side before, let alone now.

"No, I don't believe it! Unless you take a bath with Master Wu!" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, his expression could not conceal the cunning, he looked like a cunning mouse.

Guard Zhan narrowed his eyes and pinched Bai Yutang's nose with his hand, this guy!What is going on in my mind!

"Have you told your lord and sir the whole story of the case just now?" Fifth Master grabbed his wife's hand and kissed it on his lips, "What did they say?"

"There is no conclusion yet. My lord said that I will discuss it with my husband, and Mr. Gongsun also wants to look at the corpse." Zhan Zhao withdrew his hand and touched his chin subconsciously, "For some reason, I always feel that there is still something to do. Happened." He frowned, feeling a little ominous in his heart.

Bai Yutang stretched out his fingers and smoothed Zhan Zhao's brow, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, feeling a little warm in his heart.

"I'm so hungry." Fifth Master touched his wife's shriveled belly, "Why don't we... go out to eat after taking a bath?"

Zhan Zhao pushed him away with a smile, turned around and slipped out of the room.This is really... so shameless!Why didn't I find it before!

The two of them ate a warm meal, then strolled along the street, and when they returned to the government office, it was past Xu time.

"Master Zhan, you are back!" Just as he stepped into the gate of the government office, Zhan Zhao bumped into Ma Han who was oncoming.

Seeing Ma Han's hurried expression, Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, "So urgent? But what happened?"

Ma Han wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said leisurely: "Mr. Gongsun seems to have discovered something. The villain and Wang Chao have already looked for you twice."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao's nerves tensed immediately, "Take me to have a look."

Ma Han bowed and led the way, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed behind.The three of them walked together into a room next to the morgue, Bao Zheng and Gongsun were all inside.

"My lord, sir." Guard Zhan stepped in eagerly, "This subordinate heard from Ma Han that sir has discovered something."

Gongsun Ce was turning over the scroll in his hand, but he didn't reply right away, but Bao Zheng beside him nodded his head and said: "Sir, it seems that you already know the real cause of death of that corpse."

"Didn't Mrs. Lu find out that Miss Xia Liu died of poisoning earlier?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It is indeed poisoned." Bao Zheng nodded, "And according to Mr., it seems to be a very rare and highly poisonous poison that originated in southern Xinjiang."

Southern Xinjiang is highly poisonous?Zhan Zhao's brows could not help but wrinkle into the word "Chuan".Xia Liu is just a little girl who lives in a brothel, why would she offend people from Southern Xinjiang?

"This kind of poison is not common, not for other reasons, but because it only appears in a very rare poisonous snake." Gongsun closed the scroll and stood up, walking between the two of them, "The student has just checked , This kind of poisonous snake naturally likes dark environments, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see, unless it is a villager who has lived there for a long time." He paused, and added, "Or a wizard in southern Xinjiang."

What a wizard! ! !It sounds fantastic!

"Guard Zhan might as well go and ask that Miss Mai to see if Miss Xia Liu has any enemies or has any quarrels with Southern Xinjiang. We should also use this as a starting point and focus on investigation." Bao Zheng told Zhan After Zhao finished speaking, he turned to Bai Yutang again, "Could Bai Shaoxia do me a favor?"

Bai Yutang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "My lord, please tell me."

Bao Zheng and Gongsun exchanged glances, and saw Gongsun take out a piece of paper from a book on the table next to him, "There are some herbs on it, the student would like you to show it to Mrs. Lu, if the student's The material is good, if some other medicines are added to it, it should be possible to make a prescription."

Bai Yutang took the piece of paper, folded it up and stuffed it into his bosom without even looking at it, "I'm going to find my sister-in-law right now." After saying that, he gave Zhan Zhao a last glance and strode away.

"Sir, the one you asked Yutang to take away just now is..." Zhan Zhao scratched his head, a little puzzled.Why do you suddenly want to collect a prescription?Is anyone sick?

Gongsun Ce smiled at him, and said, "The medicinal ingredients listed above are guessed by the students from the smell of the black cloth picked up by the guards."

Zhan Zhao blinked, with a look of incredulity—is this okay? !

Bao Zheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "If you want to trap that Mai Ying, call the little raccoon over by the way."

The guard Zhan can't laugh or cry, my lord, it's really good to talk nonsense!
