[75] I treat you as a brother

Bai Yutang's head was in a daze, and he didn't understand Zhan Zhao's meaning for a moment.

"You... what did you just say?"

"I said your tea will get cold if you don't drink it anymore." Zhan Zhao picked up the teacup, wanting to drink it down in one gulp, so as to calm down his swollen brain.

But he was knocked down by Bai Yutang excitedly: "Don't change the subject."

The cup hit the corner of the table, then continued to go down with a gurgle, and hit the ground with a crisp sound.

There was a brief silence between the two, and Zhan Zhao sighed, "What else do you want me to say?"

Bai Yutang couldn't believe it, he suspected that he was hallucinating: "You just said..."

"I said to be responsible to you." Zhan Zhao looked into his eyes, "Responsible to the end."

He thought about it, Bai Yutang grew up alone, only his elder brother.All his reliance and love for his relatives were almost entirely placed on his elder brother, who would have thought that his elder brother would leave him too.He is full of love for his relatives. Although he doesn't show it on the surface, he lacks love in his heart and desires love more than others.

Now he has expressed this feeling to himself, revealing his sincerity and firmness again and again.As proud as Bai Yutang, he actually cut open his chest at this moment, and unreservedly showed his fiery heart... Zhan Zhao felt that he should not push him away anymore.

"I made him go astray." Zhan Zhao thought to himself, "If I push him away again, am I still human?"

He didn't dislike Bai Yutang, he was even closer to Bai Yutang than other people, and he was willing to pamper and love him.

Zhan Zhao has never experienced love between a man and a woman, but in his imagination, two people together are probably nothing more than that.

I was thinking of him, and he was thinking of me.When things happen, we go through thorns and thorns together, drink and drink together when we are free, and make tricks.

The gods and couples are no more exaggerated than this, are they?

Besides, with this relationship, Bai Yutang could be happier, and he didn't feel like he had insulted Big Brother Bai's life. He could continue to guard him and take care of him, which would serve multiple purposes.

After experiencing the surprise, astonishment, and disbelief at the beginning, Bai Yutang soon calmed down.

"Are you serious?" Bai Yutang asked, "Do you really know what you mean by 'responsible'?"

He stared straight at Zhan Zhao, leaned forward, and kept approaching him: "Being 'responsible' to me is not just a matter of lip service."

Zhan Zhao felt that he was underestimated.He fixedly looked back at the other party, his eyes slowly slipping down, then he cupped Bai Yutang's face, and touched his light-colored lips gently.

"Now, can I be 'responsible' to you?"

Bai Yutang was caught off guard, his eyes widened, his face "twitched", and he blushed completely.

"You..." Bai Yutang's breath was unsteady, his voice was trembling because of Zhan Zhao's actions just now, "Do you know what you are doing?"

He tried his best to suppress the impulse and the heartbeat that almost jumped out of his throat.However, Zhan Zhao was not afraid of death, and it was not enough to take advantage of the other party, so he pressed his fingers on Bai Yutang's lips again, rubbing them very ambiguously.

"What do you think?"

Bai Yutang's breathing became heavier, his eyes darkened, his Adam's apple rolled, and he grabbed Zhan Zhao's mischievous hand, almost uncontrollably pounced on him.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly: "Fifth Master, there is something."

At that moment, a murderous look flashed in Bai Yutang's eyes, and he wished he could strike directly and chop off the subordinate who got in the way.

But immediately, sanity returned.Bai Yutang closed his eyes, forcibly calmed down the chaotic atmosphere, then cast a heavy glance at Zhan Zhao, let him go, and left quickly.

Zhan Zhao waited for him to leave before gently touching his lips.For some reason, he had a feeling that if someone hadn't interrupted him just now, Bai Yutang would have jumped at him and bit him to death.

"This kid, do you understand Fengyue?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, took off his outer shirt, and went to bed to rest.

When Bai Yutang came back, Zhan Zhao had already fallen asleep.

Zhan Zhao left a lamp in the room, and a place outside the bed for him.

Looking at Zhan Zhao's peaceful sleeping face, Bai Yutang couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth again.

Then he took off his boots and climbed onto the bed, and hugged Zhan Zhao gently through the quilt.

"Is this going to be mine from now on?" Bai Yutang pressed his face against his back, he was full of excitement and had nowhere to vent, but he was afraid that his movements would wake him up, so he had no choice but to suppress his movements The impulse of the foot caressed him from top to bottom with his eyes through the air.

Maybe it was because his eyes were too hot, Zhan Zhao who was sleeping was still woken up by him.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes in a daze, and felt the small stove clinging to his body, so he patted his hand, gave up half of the quilt, turned around, pressed him against his chest, and fell asleep again and again. past.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, and it was naturally extraordinary, if it wasn't because Bai Yutang knew him well and knew that Zhan Zhao had no one to serve him.Even in the courtyard of his Kaifeng mansion, the servants are coarse old ladies. Just by his actions of coaxing people to sleep, one would think that he is a veteran criminal.

"It's all your fault that I fell into such a deep sinking." Bai Yutang thought with a very white-eyed wolf in his heart, "It's also fortunate that I acted quickly, otherwise I don't know which little vixen will be cheaper in the future."

Thinking of this, he arched into Zhan Zhao's arms in revenge, finally closed his eyes, smelled the good smell on his body, and fell asleep beautifully.

At dawn the next day, the two people on the bed were soundly asleep when suddenly there was a knock on the door, which broke all the tranquility of the morning.

Zhan Zhao thought something happened, opened his eyes immediately, and threw off the quilt to get out of bed.

Stopped by Bai Yutang's face full of depression, he raised the knife in hand and rushed to open the door.

"Morning, fifth brother." Upon waking up, Liu Qing's face seemed a little swollen, and he looked fatter than last night. He leaned against the door, sculpted with great effort, and saw that Bai Yutang's clothes were neatly dressed. First secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Liu Qing outside the door, Bai Yutang silently put down the knife in his hand, but the anger of being disturbed while sleeping has not completely subsided.

As if she couldn't see, Liu Qing smiled desperately and said: "It's dawn, I'm here to wake you up - isn't it going to investigate the case? Where shall we investigate first today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhan Zhao walking out slowly with disheveled hair, slightly open clothes with folds all over them.

"It's not like your style to be so active in investigating the case. I'm afraid Liu Xiandi is not in the bar because of his ulterior motives?"

Liu Qing stared at Zhan Zhao with straight eyes, forgetting all the usual cynicism.

When he stared blankly like this, Bai Yutang's face immediately sank three points.

Liu Qing scratched her head: "I..."

"Go back to the room and wait." Bai Yutang put down these words, turned around, picked up Zhan Zhao on his shoulders, and walked towards the side of the room.

Liu Qing was left alone in the wind outside the door.

Liu Qing: I'm blind.

An hour later, the three of them changed into their luggage, deposited their weapons, checked out and went straight to Song's old house.

On the way, Liu Qing followed the two of them, observing them all the time, seeing that their words and deeds seemed to be the same as usual, she couldn't help being surprised.

"Could it be that I'm overthinking?" Liu Qing scratched her head.

In front of him, Bai Yutang tugged at the coarse cloth clothes he had never worn, frowned and asked Zhan Zhao, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and looked at his outfit carefully: "We are going to investigate the case, so naturally we can't dress too ostentatiously. Besides, I really want to see what you look like in ordinary people's clothes."

"I don't want to show off, I'll just send someone to check it out." Bai Yutang muttered in a low voice, and asked him, "Do I look ugly in this?"

"Looks good." Zhan Zhao replied with incomparable sincerity, "You look good in anything you wear, and you look good in nothing."

Bai Yutang was caught off guard by being teased, and immediately blushed and wanted to jump.

Zhan Zhao laughed, and put his arms around his shoulders: "I won't bother you anymore, but what I said is true, there is no one in the world more beautiful than you."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, expressing doubts.

Zhan Zhao: "Really! The three thousand beauties in the harem, the heavenly fragrances in Tokyo, and the famous pair of sisters in Xijing are all inferior to you."

Bai Yutang's eyelids trembled, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhan knows so many beauties."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassingly: "It's necessary for work, and I only met him once."

"Master Zhan is such a good job." Bai Yutang said sourly, "Is there any shortage of people for Master Bao? Why don't you just ask him to recommend me to perform in front of the little emperor? I got a part-time job, and went to see the beauties of the harem with Mr. Zhan, and they are absolutely beautiful."

Zhan Zhao could hear the sourness in his words, and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his hair: "Did you kill the vinegar seller? It's so sour that it chokes your nose."

He touched him with his shoulder again, approached him, and said in a low voice: "I have already promised to be responsible to you, why are you worried about me?"

Bai Yutang was too worried: "Don't you know how attractive you are usually?"

He counted with his fingers, and said: "The number of times I went to Kaifeng to look for you is not that many, but only the few times I went, every time there are a group of beautiful girls behind you swallowing secretly at you. "And your stinky habit of teasing people at every turn, you don't know how to flirt, it's really annoying.

For the latter words, Bai Yutang silently complained in his heart, but didn't say it out of his mouth.

Zhan Zhao looked at him quietly for a moment, and suddenly took his hand seriously: "I didn't know what you were thinking before, and I never set up defenses against those people outside, but I won't from now on."

Bai Yutang was made a little uncomfortable by his seriousness, so he forced his face up and pretended to be generous: "You can do whatever you like, Fifth Master will still be with a group of young people who have never seen the world. Is the girl jealous? For you, Fifth Master still has confidence."

Zhan Zhao told him everything he saw was wrong and right, and he found it both funny and helpless.

But what can be done?My own children can only bear it by themselves.

The three of them inquired all the way and walked through a section of potholes and mud, and finally found the Song family's old house.

From the outside, this house should have been unoccupied for many years, and it has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time. It always feels that it can fall apart with a push of a finger.

The three of them walked around the house, but they couldn't find the door to get in.

It was an old lady who, seeing the three men hesitated, came over to inquire.

"Oh, we are distant relatives of this family." Relying on his torn clothes, Zhan Zhao opened his mouth to talk nonsense, "Ma'am, why is there no one here?"

The old lady let out a long sigh: "The people here have been dead for many years."

Zhan Zhao pretended to be surprised and said, "Dead? No wonder I wrote to them before but never received a reply."

He said: "Mother, how did they die, do you know?"

The old lady sighed again.She raised her head, lingered on the old house for a moment with her cloudy eyes, then turned around tremblingly, and walked towards a dilapidated low house next to her.

The three of Zhan Zhao looked at each other, and immediately followed with strides.

"The girls of the Song family have been clever since they were young. I don't know whether it's because they were well taught at home or have some talent." The old lady's voice was low and hoarse, and she spoke very slowly. Just play, you shouldn't talk to anyone."

This story made the old lady tell it like this, so it is necessary to start from "Once upon a time there was a mountain", Liu Qing really didn't have that patience, and said: "Old lady, there is no need to go into details about the previous things, you Let’s pick the key points, cut straight to the point, first tell us how she died, and if there is any wrong, we can avenge her!”

The old lady stopped walking, her wrinkled face slowly turned to him, and she glanced at him: "Why, the three of you are not here to visit relatives, but to avenge the mother and daughter of the Song family?"

Seeing that the old lady was suspicious, Zhan Zhao hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, don't listen to my brother's nonsense, you see he is strong, but he has never killed a chicken before, he just has a quick temper and loves to talk His prestige is nothing to accomplish."

Liu Qing, who had never killed a chicken, immediately glared, wanting to talk to Zhan Zhao about killing chickens.

The old lady ignored him, walked two steps, and gradually began to pant.

"The girl from the Song family is so good at being a person that the children in the village at that time didn't like to play with her very much. Only the poor boy at the head of the village wiped his nose all day long and ran behind her ass."

"At the beginning, Miss Song also hated him, she said she wouldn't let him follow her, she punched and kicked him several times, and drove him away with bad words. He will stand up to protect Song girl when she is being bullied, and when she is punished by her mother and put in confinement, she will sneak in and deliver food to Song girl at the risk of being beaten."

"After going back and forth, the two became acquainted, and the relationship between each other has been drawn into a lot. Sometimes Song girl gets into trouble and gets punished, and the poor boy will protect the girl and go to his house."

"The father of the poor boy often goes out to work, and there is only a mother who is not in good health at home. The mother loves her son very much. Seeing that her son likes this girl very much, she asks this girl in private if she would like to be her son's wife in the future. Song girl I didn't think much about it, I felt that the poor boy around me was kind to me, so I agreed casually."

"She didn't take this seriously, so of course she wouldn't go back and tell her mother, but she didn't take it seriously, but the poor boy's mother kept it in her heart. In the blink of an eye, the year when Song girl Jiji was born, the poor boy's mother also because of He was ill and passed away. At that time, the poor boy had just passed the children's examination and was preparing for the next rural examination. Once his mother died, he couldn't continue to take the examination, so he ate bran and swallowed vegetables, and dutifully kept his mother's filial piety for three years. "

"In the past three years, Song girl's mother has also found someone for her, but because this girl has a bad reputation in the village since she was a child, the backs of the few houses she found were all dirty, until the youngest son of the grandfather visited us by accident. This, the girl's mother has taken a fancy to it."

"Master, this young man's surname is Ma, and his name is Sui. He has red lips and white teeth. He looks like a fun-loving dude. If this is an ordinary family, he probably doesn't want his daughter to have a relationship with him, but this Song Yatou's mother just took a fancy to the money in his purse, and she wanted to give him her daughter, and said that it doesn't matter if she is a concubine."

"Ma Sui is indeed lustful, but at first he didn't like the girl of the Song family, and she was too old at the time, so naturally she would not marry her. But girl Song's mother recognized Ma Sui, and came to pray several times...you It is said that this girl Song is a girl who has never left the court, and she has no place to put her face away after being made such a fuss by her mother. At that time, many people in the village felt ashamed, and it was useless to persuade them overtly or secretly."

"At this time, the poor boy's filial piety period has finally expired. He heard about the farce as soon as he came out. He didn't shave his beard, didn't take a bath, and rushed directly to Song's house to propose marriage like a wild man on the top of a mountain. Then she told Song Yatou and her mother that there was a marriage contract between them, if you don't believe me, you can ask Song Yatou to confront her."

"Song Yatou originally agreed casually, and she didn't have any written evidence at the time, so she naturally shouldn't. That day, the poor boy was beaten up by Song Yatou's mother, and he was beaten in front of the whole village. Throw it out of the house."

"However, this poor boy is also very persevering. After returning that day, he shaved his beard clean, took a clean shower, and then came to the Song family every day to propose marriage. If no one answered the door, he simply read a book outside the door. It has been a long time Even those of us who are neighbors can’t see it.”

"However, this Song girl's mother's heart is like a stone. No matter what the poor boy asks, she refuses to marry her daughter to him. Not only that, but she often beats, scolds and belittles her in front of the villagers, without giving her any dignity. He stayed. The poor boy also endured all of these."

"During this period... about a year, one day, Song girl and her mother seemed to have a sudden enlightenment. Not only did her attitude towards the poor boy improve, she even changed her tone and decided to marry her daughter to him. The poor boy is naturally happy."

"However, his family is really poor. When his mother was still alive, the conditions were not very good. Now that he has been in mourning for three years, his family is almost impoverished. But if he wants to marry Song girl to pass through the family, he can't do it hastily, so he sold it. He bought all the valuables in the family, even the relics left by his mother, and borrowed from neighbors and friends, and managed to get some money."

"On the day of the wedding, it was very lively. According to my old wife's memory, the village should not have been so festive and lively in the past 20 years. The poor boy was really kind to Song girl, regardless of his own poverty, and let Song girl marry. At that time Everyone in the village thought that if Song girl followed him, she would be able to live a good life in the future—even though she couldn't live in luxury, but with the dedication and sincerity of the poor boy to her, she would never have the heart to let her suffer in the future. In addition, the poor boy is willing to work hard, and he has already passed the examination of scholar. If it wasn't because of his filial piety, he might have obtained the honor and fame by now, and he can eat the rice of the country. It's a pity..."

What is she regretting, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang already knew through the dossiers back then, but because of the disguise, he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to ask knowingly, "What a pity?"

The old lady stood in front of the low house, looking towards the direction of Song's old house not far away through the thin mist in the air.

After a while, she slowly opened her mouth: "It's a pity that Song girl didn't get to wait for her good life, and the sweet dream of the poor boy was shattered."

"On the day of the wedding, just as the welcoming team arrived outside the gate of Song's house, the congratulatory woman invited by the Song family saw Miss Song's body in the bride's room."

"At that time, she was wearing a wedding dress and covering her head. She was hanging from the beam of the house miserably. She looked stern and permeating. On the dressing table next to her, there was a suicide note written in blood, which accused the son-in-law of the grandfather Ma Sui, on the eve of her wedding, ignored her pleas and took her forcibly..."

"Girl Song couldn't bear the humiliation, and she didn't want the poor boy to be humiliated and the bad guy to laugh at her. She had to go ahead and wait for him on Huangquan Road. At the end of the letter, she told him that if there is a destiny, see you in the next life."

At this point in the story, all the people around fell into a strange silence.

Until a gust of wind blew away the thick clouds and tore a hole in the sky, allowing the sun to shine down again.

Only then did the old lady let out a breath, and then continued in her hoarse voice that was a bit piercing to the ear: "The red thing turned into a white thing, which was unexpected by everyone. Yes. The poor boy was also devastated as if his soul had been sucked dry by someone. The scene at that time, the mood at that time, can hardly be described in words...but the matter is not over yet."

That night, after the poor boy sent away the last guest, a group of officials suddenly brought a corpse.It was a female corpse with a shining knife stuck in her chest.He also knew the owner of the corpse, it was Song girl's mother who beat and scolded him countless times, disgraced him, and almost became his mother-in-law.

The officer didn't say anything, put down the body and left in a hurry.When the poor boy checked the corpse, he found a bag of tightly wrapped silver in the arms of the corpse. No one in the local area except Ma Sui could afford the cloth that wrapped the silver.

"After that, the poor boy inquired around and finally found out the cause of his mother-in-law's death. It turned out that Song girl's mother was shocked when she heard the news of her daughter's death that day. After seeing the suicide note, she immediately ran to the grandfather's mansion madly. There was a big fuss, and Ma Sui insisted on paying for his daughter's life. During the dispute between the two, Ma Sui made a mistake and killed Song girl's mother on the spot."

"Ma Sui didn't want to say anything, and was even more worried that the incident would cause trouble to his father, so he asked people to return the body overnight and offered him a couple of taels of money. Myself. But—"

"New and old grudges, of course he won't let it go," Zhan Zhao said.

After that, there is no need to continue talking.

The poor boy that the old lady called, who is now Feng Jinnian, recklessly reported Ma Sui to the magistrate, and the magistrate personally sat down to interrogate the case, and finally sentenced Ma Sui to death.

This matter can be told by any local person who has been arrested.

After saying goodbye to the old lady and leaving, the sky became overcast again.

As Liu Qing walked, he asked, "From this point of view, that dog official is still a good person? The death of Ma at his hands deserves what he deserves."

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, smiled and shook his head.

Liu Qing: "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

Zhan Zhao just laughed, and Liu Qing's hair shuddered for a while.

Liu Qing unconsciously leaned against Bai Yutang, put her arm on his shoulder: "Fifth brother, look at him! Could it be that the case cannot be solved, he is crazy!"

Bai Yutang calmly removed his shoulder from under his arm, and said, "He's making fun of you for being stupid."

"Why am I stupid!" Liu Qing jumped, "Isn't that what the old lady said just now!?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly laughed louder.

Bai Yutang glanced at him, knowing that he was doing it on purpose, so he didn't expose it.He asked Liu Qing: "The old lady is not related to us just now, why did she tell us that?"

Liu Qing took it for granted: "Because we are 'distant relatives of the Song family'!"

Bai Yutang asked again: "What evidence do you have?"

"Certificate?" Liu Qing was stunned, looking down at her torn clothes, "...it seems that there is no proof."

"Be courteous for nothing." Bai Yutang said, "No one would be so kind."

"That's one." Zhan Zhao finally had enough laughs at this moment, and then Bai Yutang said, "And the second—this old lady, how old do you look like?"

Liu Qing recalled the other party's old face, cloudy eyes, staggering walk and tone of voice: "Why... you must be in your eighties, right?"

Zhan Zhao asked: "Your grandmother, is this year's birthday?"

Liu Qing said: "If he is alive, he will be seventy-six this year."

Zhan Zhao asked again: "Then did she still understand what happened back then?"

"Remember?" Liu Qing struggled to recall, "Sometimes it seems clear, sometimes confused..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Do you think the old lady just remembered things too clearly?"

"First, this incident did not happen to her." Zhan Zhao stretched out a finger, "As an ordinary neighbor, at best, she is just a bystander, and this incident has been going on for many years, how can she respond to this incident?" Do you remember so many details so clearly?"

Liu Qing touched her chin and nodded: "That makes sense. What about the second one?"

"Second," Bai Yutang continued, "Feng Jinnian is now an official. Everyone knows about this. Now that you know it, you should know that you shouldn't make random comments on people who eat the royal rations, otherwise you may be killed. It’s a disaster—but the old lady just now has no fear, and even took the initiative to come to make trouble after finding out about us, which is really not like what ordinary people do.”

When he said this, he turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao happened to be looking at him too.

"It seems like we want to go together again." Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at him.

Immediately, Bai Yutang couldn't help but smile at him.

Liu Qing looked at this to the left and that to the right, as if she was about to go blind again.

He took a step forward, stood between the two of them, and forcibly cut off their eye contact: "Wait a minute, explain to me, what kind of charades are you playing?"

"It's a long story to tell." Zhan Zhao said, and went to put Liu Qing's shoulders, but before he could let go, Bai Yutang rushed over and grabbed him.

"Let's go, it's too late."

The two of them were swept away by the wind like a kite, leaving Liu Qing still scratching his head to solve the puzzle.

Seeing the two running faster and farther, Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and chased after them.

"Hey! Don't care about me! Are you human?"

The three of them quickly returned to the low room just now.

At this time, there was no one to be seen outside the door of the low room.

The doors and windows of the house are all closed.Zhan Zhao stepped forward, raised his hand and wiped the dust in front of the window.

The three exchanged a glance with each other, and then Liu Qing and Bai Yutang flew directly into the room.

Zhan Zhao waited for the two of them to set up an ambush before walking to the door and knocking politely.

"Auntie, are you there? I have something to do, and I want to ask you for advice."

There was no one to respond to it. Listening carefully, there was not even a sound at all.

Seeing this, Bai Yutang on the roof gently pushed aside a tile, looked in sideways, his eyes widened in shock.

"Zhan Zhao!"

When he spoke, Zhan Zhao had already opened the door and walked in.

In the center of the room, facing the door, sat a man, bound inside in a distorted posture.

The man's eyes were wide open, his mouth was forced open, and there was something like a quiver in his mouth, which happened to be aimed at the gate.

The wooden door and the window are connected with thin wires. As long as someone pushes the door or window open, the trigger mechanism will be triggered, and a thin arrow will be shot from the quiver in the mouth of the person at the door.

Zhan Zhao pushed the door and entered, and the mechanism was triggered instantly.

But fortunately, Zhan Zhao has excellent ears, and his long experience in rivers and lakes and handling cases also makes him on guard everywhere.

So when the first thin arrow shot out, Zhan Zhao jumped into the air to dodge.

However, the arrows in the mechanism are not limited to this one.

Soon when his feet were about to hit the ground, the second arrow in the quiver was also shot out with a delay.

This shot seems to have calculated the time for him to fall to the ground - before he fully lands, he can use his strength to perform light work again, and at the same time, it is in time for his first wave of vigilance to pass, and his body is in the process of falling.

Seeing that the slender arrow was about to pierce Zhan Zhao's flesh, a round stone flew over out of nowhere, brushing the body of the slender arrow and heading straight for Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao sneered lightly, stepped on his toes, borrowed only a little force, and turned around to dodge.

At this time, the third thin arrow was finally spit out, but before it flew out of the gate, Liu Qing, who had fallen from the sky, knocked it down with a judge's pen in his hand.

After shooting all three thin arrows, the quiver became an empty shell.

The three of them waited cautiously for a while, not waiting for another round of attacks.

Bai Yutang was so anxious that he jumped down from the top to check Zhan Zhao's situation.

"Don't worry, there's no damage." Zhan Zhao opened his arms for him to check.

Bai Yutang finally let go of his mind.

In the room, Liu Qing had already removed the quiver from the man's mouth and touched his veins.

"how?"

Liu Qing shook her head: "It's been a while since I died, it's already cold."

He completely untied the person, and looked at the person's face: "Hey, this person is not that old lady!"

Not only is she not an old lady, but her gender is also wrong.

After this was killed, it was a middle-aged man who used it as a quiver stand.

Zhan Zhao came over in person, checked his whole body carefully, and then looked at the two of them: "It should be just an ordinary person."

Liu Qing was surprised: "Looking at it this way, this person should have been here just now."

From the time they left, to their return, there was simply not enough time for people to set up such an institution.

Liu Qing asked: "If someone really wanted to kill us, why didn't they do it just now?"

If it's just started, wouldn't it be easier to distract them with the old lady telling stories?

"They are outnumbered," Bai Yutang said, "and the other party should know us very well, knowing that they could not get rid of us under the circumstances at that time, and would instead risk exposing themselves."

He rolled his eyelids and looked at Zhan Zhao: "What should we do next?"

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin: "If you follow the normal logic, Cai Shao and the 'old lady' who told us the story today seem to be Feng Jinnian."

Liu Qing asked, "Are they?"

Zhan Zhao asked back, "If you were Feng Jinnian and knew that someone was checking you, what would you do?"

Liu Qing turned the judge's pen in her hand: "There is nothing safer than a dead person."

"That's the reason." Zhan Zhao said, "He originally wanted to find someone to be his scapegoat. If he knew that someone would check him, he would naturally try his best to get rid of them. For those who knew they would die, he would Why bother arranging people to give us false clues?"

Liu Qing felt that her head was in a mess: "So?"

"So," Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "these people must be deliberately currying favors, and came to give us a meeting gift."

Liu Qing folded her arms and murmured in a low voice: "Think too much, who would be so kind when they are full..."

Then I saw a person walking in from outside the low room.

This person is slender and tall, wearing black tights, with black hair tied up high, with a headband that obviously does not match her style.

"Nothing can escape Master Zhan's eyes."

Zhan Zhao seemed to have known she was there for a long time, and was not surprised when he saw the other party appear.

"It's said that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, and it's really hard to guess what a girl is thinking." Zhan Zhao politely put on a smiling face, "Didn't the girl make an appointment to meet at Qiuliang Temple that day, so why don't you say what you say?"

"It's hard to guess a woman's heart, but is it easy to guess a man's heart?" The other party sighed pretentiously, "I invited you to Qiuliang Temple, didn't you also keep the appointment? Since you didn't come to me, then I had no choice but to come here on my own initiative." I'm looking for you."

Zhan Zhao turned his body sideways, letting out the corpse behind him: "Miss, can you clear up my doubts first?"

"It's inevitable for a girl to be a girl." She smiled and said, "My name is Luan Su."

Zhan Zhao slightly frowned.

Luan Su is exactly the title of the Lord of the Eight Princes' Mansion and the Nine Counties.

The other party obviously knew what he was thinking, but he didn't explain much. Instead, he took a few steps forward and walked up to the corpse.

"This is Feng An." Luan Su said, "Feng Jinnian's biological father."

Liu Qing immediately said not calmly: "He is just a commoner, why are you killing him!"

"I didn't kill people." Luansu glanced at him, "Feng Jinnian did it."

"Not only his biological father." Luan Su said, "Mother and daughter of the Song family, Ma Sui, Ma Sui's father, and everyone who helped Ma Sui escape back then were all murdered by Feng Jinnian."

Zhan Zhao had read the dossier at that time, and asked, "Mother and daughter of the Song family?"

"You don't really think that Song Xin committed suicide after being raped by Ma Sui?" Luan Su said, "Although Ma Sui is lustful, she doesn't have to be a woman."

Zhan Zhao: "So it's a lie that Ma Sui raped Song Xin?"

She said: "Do you know why Song Xin's mother refused to marry her daughter to Feng Jinnian at the beginning, and then suddenly changed her mind?"

Several old men in the room and a cold male corpse looked at Luansu together.

Luan Su: "It's very simple, because Song Xin is pregnant."

"Song Xin's mother originally wanted to use this method to send Song Xin to Ma Sui's room, and then use the child as an excuse to force him to accept Song Xin. Unfortunately, the relationship between them was not cleared up, and the plan was revealed. Song Xin is already pregnant. I had no choice but to find someone to marry hastily, and Feng Jinnian just happened to be a suitable candidate—this is why the mother and daughter of the Song family suddenly changed their minds."

"When Feng Jinnian first found out that Song Xin had changed his mind, he was so happy that he almost went crazy. In order to marry Song Xin, in order to marry her in a decent way, he almost broke his family and broke his fortune. In the evening, a wild man with scars all over his face came to the door and told Feng Jinnian that Song Xin had a plant in her stomach, and it belonged to him."

"Feng Jinnian was naturally furious. He immediately ran to question Song Xin. Song Xin was also trying to disgust him. She actually admitted that Feng Jinnian almost went crazy that night. After killing people, Feng Jinnian was able to calm down and bribed Xi Po and
