案起

Yanyun March is a scene full of vitality in early spring. Everything is revived, green willows are swaying, and tender green sprouts are pointing out. .

It turned out that in the past few months, there have been several cases in succession in this originally peaceful Yangwu County, and all of them were horrific murders.

Yangwu County belongs to Kaifeng, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Kaifeng, and there are too many dead in this case, and the case has not been solved for a long time. .

The county magistrate of Yangwu County is actually an upright official, but unfortunately, although the magistrate is honest, he is timid by nature and is an out-and-out idiot. In this way, Bao Zheng, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, was alarmed.

Mr. Bao is an upright official and cares about the common people. As soon as he got the news, he appointed the fourth-rank imperial guards with swords to arrive in Yangwu County first to conduct an unannounced investigation. Zhao Hu and the others followed.

Unexpectedly, they hurried all the way from dawn to dusk, and just when they met Zhan Weiwei, they got a piece of news that shocked them very much.

"What?! The prisoner caught it!?"

"Return to your lord, that's right." In front of the case of the post office in Yangwu County, a tall man in a blue shirt was standing at this moment. Nose bridge, thin lips and small mouth, looks very pleasing.

The most valuable thing is that this man has a gentle and jade-like temperament, and even his voice is so moving. He greeted the person sitting behind the desk and nodded, "This subordinate arrived in Yangwu County three days ago. , I found that the doors and windows of each house were closed, and they hardly even went out of the house on weekdays, but yesterday was uncharacteristically, all the closed doors and windows of the people were opened, and the originally empty streets returned to their previous hustle and bustle, which is really strange!" Lan The man in the shirt touched his chin with one hand, his face full of doubts.

"Oh? Why is that?" Master Qingtian, who was sitting in front of the desk facing him, frowned slightly after hearing what the man in the blue shirt said.

"My subordinates were puzzled, and I only found out after asking the people in the county. This scene is all because the magistrate issued a notice to let the people know that the prisoner has been captured. Please don't hide all day, and you can return to normal life." The blue-shirted man crossed his arms. , with his chin resting on the top of his sword.

"Guard Zhan has seen the magistrate of Yao? It is rumored that the magistrate of Yao Ping is a complete idiot. It is really suspicious that he can catch criminals by himself. Could it be that the rumors are false?" Mr. Gongsun on the side finally couldn't bear it. Hold your breath and ask aloud.

"My lord and Mr. Gongsun have not arrived, Zhan Zhao dare not reveal his identity, but Zhan Zhao has spied on the county government, and heard that the prisoner came to surrender himself." The man in the blue shirt—— Zhan Zhao scratched his head, his eyes were on Mr. Bao's pitch-black face and Mr. Gongsun's rosy and elegant face wandered back and forth, but he thought in his heart, let alone, this Mr. Bao's face is really black!

Lord Bao and Gongsun looked at each other, then thought for a while, and said, "It seems that the guard Zhan has already seen the person who surrendered!"

Zhan Zhao curled his lips, what the lord said was not a question, he was sure that he had already met the person who claimed to be the murderer, he really couldn't hide anything from the lord! "My lord, I heard that someone turned himself in. In order to confirm, I went to the prison to visit secretly last night." After a pause, he continued, "It's just that the person doesn't seem to be the real murderer."

Master Bao stroked his beard, "How can you see that?"

"That man looks like a literati and scholar. He looks almost the same as Mr. Gongsun. No one would believe that he would kill someone after looking at it." Zhan Zhao waved his hand, with the look of "If you beat him to death, you wouldn't believe that he would kill someone."

Lord Bao nodded knowingly, rolled his eyes, turned to Bao Xing who was standing beside him and said, "Just let the magistrate of Yao County come to the posthouse quickly, and tell him that the government has something to ask him." Bao Xing has followed Bao Zheng for many years , who knew his master's temperament like the back of his hand, knew that he was suspicious of this case, so he bowed slightly and went out.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun were a little tired after traveling all the way, so he dismissed the crowd and went back to rest for a while. Everything will be discussed after the arrival of Nazhi County Yao Ping.

***

Zhan Zhao had nothing to do, and didn't want to go back to his room to rest, so he ordered Wang Ma, Zhang Zhao, and the others to protect him, but he wandered into the street, euphemistically saying, "Look for clues!"

When it comes to finding clues, the restaurants and brothels in the city, places where people gather and fish and fish are mixed, are naturally the first to bear the brunt, but he Zhan Zhao is now a fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, so he rushed to the brothel to drink flower wine. After all, it has nothing to do with his identity It doesn't match, and even if he is not in the government now, it is really not appropriate to go to that kind of place with the title of Southern Xia that he has obtained through many years of wandering in the rivers and lakes. It must be the most lively Fengyi Building in Yangwu County.

Having made up his mind, he walked quickly towards the restaurant, and just as he reached the door, the waiter warmly greeted him. "My lord, there are still vacant private rooms on the second floor." Thinking that the guy was in a restaurant and had seen countless people, he was also a discerning person. He could tell by the fabric of Zhan Zhao's clothes that he was not an ordinary person, so he hurried to dine. Politely lead him upstairs.

But Zhan Zhao raised his hand, "The private room is too stuffy, just find me a loose seat by the window."

"Come on!" The guy saw that the man in front of him spoke softly and didn't put on airs, so he had a better impression of him. He took Zhan Zhao to a seat by the window, although it was an empty seat. But it is not noisy, and at the same time, the words of the people around you can be heard clearly.

Zhan Zhao was very satisfied with this seat, and took out a piece of broken silver reward from his hand to his waist. The clerk took the silver reward and smiled, wiped the table again with the rag in his hand, then raised his head and asked, "Master, do you want to eat?" What to order? Our Fengyilou's sauced beef is famous far and wide, why don't you come and try it?"

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he became interested, nodded and said, "Here, a pot of green bamboo leaves and a plate of peanuts." After saying that, he threw another piece of silver at him. He took the silver and thanked him and went down.

After the clerk stepped back, Zhan Zhao put the Juque in his hand on the table, and sat down on the seat himself. He picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a cup of tea while paying attention to what the people around him were saying.

"I heard that the little beggar in the dilapidated temple in the south of the city has died again. I don't know how he provoked that person. It's really pitiful to see him beat him every time after many days." Dressed as a woodcutter, most of them are residents of Yangwu County.

"No, several times I saw that little beggar shivering from the cold hiding in the dark in the alley, but he refused to go back to the ruined temple, saying that there were wicked people guarding him, and that it would be better to freeze to death than to be beaten to death. "Another person dressed as a scholar also nodded.

"Speaking of which, the little beggar has a very strong backbone. He knows that the bully is guarding the ruined temple, but once he sees other beggars entering the temple, he will desperately bring them out." The woodcutter gnawed a mouthful of steamed buns. , then shook his head, "It's a pity, how could he become a beggar as a little baby!"

"Didn't it mean that his family members were all killed by him!" A commoner man at the other table suddenly leaned over.

"It's nonsense! What can he do with a doll!" The woodcutter waved his hand, "I heard that his house was burned down."

The scholar next to him heard this sudden chuckle, "The whole family was burned? Then why didn't the little beggar be burned together! Could it be that he lit the fire."

"A joke! A five-year-old doll can light a fire? If that's the case, it wouldn't be surprising that you could fly into the sky like this." The woodcutter sneered as he ate his bowl of wine, as if a little displeased.

"I said, could it be that the baby is your cub? You protect him like this but you don't recognize him! What kind of hero are you pretending to be!" The scholar bit his white steamed bun hard. gulp.

The woodcutter was a little annoyed by what he said, but he was powerless to refute.Although he felt sorry for the beggar, he really didn't have the energy to feed another mouthful.He opened his mouth for a long time but didn't say a word, he simply closed his mouth and started drinking alone in a sullen mood.The atmosphere around him suddenly cooled down, and the others stopped mentioning the beggar, and they all ate their food, paid the money and left one after another.

Zhan Zhao heard those people's words clearly. On the one hand, he was a little concerned about the little beggar, and on the other hand, he was also very curious about the bully who guarded the ruined temple—after all, a bully should be jailed. The scholar here is more like a prisoner!After thinking about it, he didn't eat the food and drink, and asked the waiter to pack the bag. He grabbed the sword on the table and went out of the restaurant, but happened to meet Zhang Long who was looking for him.

Seeing Zhan Zhao coming out of the restaurant, Zhang Long secretly admired him, as expected of Mr. Bao!

It turned out that Nazhi County learned that Master Bao from Kaifeng Mansion had come to him.
