[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

There was another corpse in the morgue of Kaifeng Mansion. Bao Zheng frowned after looking at it, and then stretched out his hand to cover it with a white cloth.

"strangeness……"

He pondered, "Why did the murderer have to cut off the victim's head?"

"My lord, I've been tested. This boss was killed by poison just like the one who died a few days ago."

Bao Zheng walked out of the mortuary room thoughtfully, and took the towel handed over by Gongsun Ce to wipe his hands.

"Have you checked the enemies of these two people?"

"After checking, the reputation of both of them is not very good." Gongsun Ce thought, "There are many enemies. This boss is a businessman, and there are many people who have offended people in the business field. In addition, it seems that he is not very close to her wife. harmony."

"Oh?" Bao Zheng froze, "How do you say?"

"There are two sons in Ren Peng's family. Originally, the family business should be passed on to the eldest son, but his wife Liu's cousin came to ask Ren Peng for help a year ago. Ren Peng didn't help because he thought the man was idle. The husband and wife had quarreled many times over this matter, and Ren Peng once threatened to leave all the family property to the concubine, everyone in the house has seen this."

"So, it is possible that Mrs. Liu colluded with her cousin to murder her husband?"

Gongsun Ce shook his beard and nodded, "It is possible."

The two walked to the study room, and Bao Zheng stepped up the steps with his robe lifted.

"Then what about He Yi?"

"He Yi is an idiot. He has mixed up both black and white. Most of the rich people in the city buy people from him. But recently I heard that he has done some dirty things."

Bao Zhengyin asked, "What's the matter?"

"He stole some good girls from other places and sold them to the city." Gongsun Ce lowered his voice, "Ren Peng also intervened in this matter."

"Oh?" Bao Zheng slightly nodded, "Then it is possible that the murderer is a relative or friend of those girls, and he wants to take revenge?"

Gongsun Ce reminded: "My lord, this range is too large..."

"Yeah." He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Indeed."

"He Yi died four days ago, and Ren Peng died yesterday. You should send someone to check if there are any suspicious people around their home during this time."

"Yes."

It was already the weather in June, and the dawn was getting earlier and earlier. Before the sun was still high, Nian Yi came out to water the flowers with a small water bottle.All the flower seeds in the yard were buried, but she had never raised flowers and plants, and she didn't know how to plant them. She just poured water on weekdays to see if they would germinate.

A pot of water was only half poured, when someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard, she put down the things in her hands, and went to open the door.

Before he saw it clearly, the man laughed and said:

"Ah, is it Zhanbutou?"

Nian Yi was slightly taken aback, and suddenly saw the object at the feet of the visitor, and immediately panicked.

"Brother Zhan! Brother Zhan!..."

Zhan Zhao was woken up by the knock on the door, before he got dressed, he faintly heard something wrong with Nian Yi's voice, so he quickly grabbed his robe and put it on his body, and walked out quickly.When he just went out, he saw her running over in a panic, dodging to hide behind him.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Nian Yi grabbed the hem of his clothes, frowned, poked his head out cautiously, and said in a low voice, "It's a dog."

He was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he looked up, there was a woman standing by the door, her clothes were shabby, although she was dressed in shabby clothes, she was clean, and there was a gray dog ​​at her feet, with round eyes, Barking straight this way.

"Go, go... go home." The mother-in-law shoved it away, and smiled at Zhan Zhao embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the dog at home is so noisy today for some reason."

Zhan Zhao gently held Nian Yi's hand, and looked at her suspiciously: "You are..."

"Oh, I live next door, Wang Panzi's mother. Why did Mr. Zhan forget?"

"Ma'am, I'm afraid she has identified the wrong person." He said quietly, "Zhan Jun is my elder brother."

"Huh?" The woman squinted her eyes and leaned forward, looked at him for a long time before smiling flatteringly, "It's really not like that after a closer look, my old eyes are not good, don't take offense, don't take offense."

She scratched her head, and said in another way: "Zhan Butou has been transferred to another place, right? Hey, I came back yesterday and saw the lights in this room were on, and I said it was Zhan Butou who came back, but I couldn't believe it was him." Brother, after all, you two brothers were carved out of the same mold, and your demeanor is so similar."

Zhan Zhao interrupted: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

After hearing his question, Mrs. Wang rubbed her hands in a little embarrassment.

"Hey, it's actually not a big deal...there's no rice in the house, so I wanted to ask you for some, but I don't know if it's convenient or not?"

It turned out to be like this.Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes and thought: "Take a small bag and give it to her."

"it is good."

Seeing that Nian Yiyi went down to the kitchen, Mrs. Wang squinted her eyes, and continued: "This is your wife, right? She looks so handsome. Standing with you, she is a pair of talented men and women, eye-catching Very much."

Zhan Zhao smiled and didn't answer. Seeing that the old shoes on her feet were worn out, he couldn't help asking:

"Money is tight recently, aunt?" Although those who can live near here are not high-ranking officials, they are more or less ordinary people in the city, and they are not so poor.

"Hey, that's strange to say." Mrs. Wang shook her head and sighed, "The family used to do a small business, and they were getting along. I will lose money, and the things I just bought are gone in the blink of an eye.”

"Is it so weird?"

"It's not..."

While talking, Nian Yi came over with a small bag of rice from the room, the woman hurriedly brushed off her clothes, and received it in her hand tremblingly.

"Thank you, I will return the rice when the pancakes are sold."

Nianyi looked up at her, and suddenly said: "You don't need to. When you go home, remember to light a stick of incense in the northeast corner of the westernmost house."

"Eh?" Mrs. Wang was confused, "What do you mean by Madam?"

"Just do it." She said softly, "Burn the incense, and after an hour there will be money coming into your house."

Wang Pozi said in surprise, "Really?"

"Believe it or not."

"This..." She looked at Zhan Zhao hesitantly, but the latter still smiled faintly without saying a word.

"Then, then I'll go back and try." Wang Pozi nodded at Chao Nian suspiciously, "Thank you Madam."

After the woman left, Zhan Zhao led her into the house, and asked with a smile, "Why did you ask her to go back and burn incense?"

"Do you know why she is so poor?" Nian Yi walked to the table and poured tea for him to rinse his mouth.

Seeing that her expression was probably related to ghosts, Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head obediently.

"She has a poor ghost on her back. Maybe she accidentally provoked her during the Chinese New Year worship ceremony."

"No wonder." Zhan Zhao took the teacup, a little sympathetic, "It seems that the luck is really bad."

"I'll go to her house to say hello to that ghost later." She also poured a glass and drank it by herself, looked at him and smiled, "Anyway, our house won't suffer from such a ghost."

That's right, there is a bigger one in their family.

After a simple breakfast, Zhan Zhao went out.Receiving bounties in the capital was a bit more difficult than he had imagined, and most of them would take more than ten days to complete, so it was more cost-effective than taking a dart.

Going home at night, I can only talk to Nian Yi, and I am going to leave home for a few days.

"It's okay, don't worry, I will take care of myself."

She packed her luggage for him and put it on the bedside, her words sounded very relaxed, but Zhan Zhao couldn't feel relieved.

"When I'm not around, you try not to go out. Almost all the people around here have dogs. I have bought all the vegetables, rice, and noodles at home. You can eat as much as you can. I will only go for three days, and soon can come back."

"I know." Nian Yi couldn't help laughing, "When have you been so long-winded?"

It seemed that he also realized that he was a bit wordy, so Zhan Zhao couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Anyway, I've been in the world before, so it's no problem to deal with it." Nian Yi leaned over and made the bed for him, "By the way, the grandma next door brought rice over."

"So fast?"

"That's right." She turned her head and looked excited, "I heard that I met a nobleman and made a lot of money."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Now she's probably treating you like a god."

In the past, she seldom worried about money matters. Shi Yin always arranged these things for her, but now that she doesn't plan to check them again, it seems that she can't ask him for money.What's more, almost all his money was "borrowed" by various means.

Seeing off Zhan Zhao the next day, Nian Yi began to ponder in the room.

Should she also think of a way to subsidize the family...

But what can she do?

At this moment, someone knocked on the courtyard door again. When I opened the door, it was the old Mrs. Wang from yesterday again.

"Hi Ma'am." She raised the duck in her hand with a smile on her face, "I bought a lot of pancakes today, and I brought them to you."

This time I went to the nearest escort agency with the escort agency, even though it took four or five days to go back and forth, which was a full two days longer than the planned three days. Hooves stopped.

It's mid-June now, and the Qixi Festival is getting closer and closer, and the city's lanterns are gradually being hung up. Although there is a festive atmosphere, the street market still has a depressing atmosphere because of the dismemberment case a few days ago. .

This breath became stronger and stronger as he approached home.

Under the jujube tree, the houses looked like houses, and there was a long queue in front of the small house. The neighbors held money and looked around, and some even rushed over from other streets.

Zhan Zhao couldn't hide his surprise when he saw this situation, and looked forward along the line, there was a simple stall outside the door, and Nian Yi was sitting in front of the stall with an umbrella, beside the smiling Mrs. Wang.

"Girl, girl, show me, is it suitable for me to do business these days?"

As he spoke, he spread his palms.

Nian Yi didn't even look at him, just glanced behind him, and said, "It's not good, your daughter-in-law had a miscarriage the day before yesterday, let's go out to do business after sending the ghost baby away."

"Hey, good!"

After receiving the money, Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and said, "Next."

"It's my time, girl, when do you think I can get a wife?"

"If you don't borrow a gamble next year, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

"what?"

"Okay, next!"

"Girl, how long can I live? The fortune teller on Ma Xing Street said that I have a bloody disaster!"

"Long, it won't die for a while."

"Girl and me!"

Zhan Zhao got off his horse, hesitating whether to get on or not.Fortunately, Nian Yi saw him first, and smiled as soon as he frowned.

"Brother Zhan."

She got up and walked to him a few steps, raised her sleeves to wipe his sweat naturally, her face was full of joy.

"When did you come back? It's already lunch? I'm going to do something else besides meeting the rest, do you want to have a taste?"

"No rush." ​​Seeing her turning around and about to enter, Zhan Zhao hurriedly grabbed her, "You..."

He looked at the group of people who were still waiting under the sun with a complicated expression, and really didn't know where to start.

"How is this going?"

"Grandma Wang taught me the method." Nian Yi said with a faint smile, "She said I was right, so she set up a stall for me and asked me to show people's faces. I can also make a lot of money."

"Look at the face?" Zhan Zhao stared at her in bewilderment, "Can you read?"

She answered truthfully: "If it's related to ghosts, I can see it."

"What if it doesn't matter?"

Nian Yi didn't think too much: "Then say something casually."

"Just say it?!" Zhan Zhao frowned immediately.

She said honestly, "Grandma Wang said that the fortune tellers in the next street are just talking nonsense, and one out of ten people can always be accurate. What's more, I'm better than him."

Zhan Zhao's tone became serious: "What's the difference between you doing this and bluffing?"

She was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to have such a reaction: "I...isn't this a lie?"

He looked down at her: "This is not cheating? Then what do you think it is?"

"..." He couldn't think of a reason for a moment, and Nian Yi bit his lower lip in embarrassment, "I... I just want to help you make some money."

Although she was a human being in her previous life, she has been a ghost for 50 years. How can a girl's family afford the daily expenses in the world?I'm afraid that all the money used before was obtained from unknown sources.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, you go into the room first." He looked away and didn't look at her again, "I'll take care of it here."

"Oh." Seeing that his tone was slightly cold, Nian Yi had to bow his head and walk obediently into the courtyard.

The courtyard door was slammed shut by him, there was a lot of noise outside, and Zhan Zhao's apologetic voice could be vaguely heard. She stood in the hall, but became more and more uneasy.

After a while, the surroundings became quiet.

The door was pushed open by him, and the street was empty.

Nian Yi looked at him worriedly, thought for a while, then went up to lead the horse for him.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao pushed her hand away, and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me in the room, I have something to tell you."

The author has something to say: wait for me in the (cleaning) room (cleaning), I have something to tell you.

Ahead is the □□ scene! ! ! ! ! ! ! [Okay but it's not.

The warm life of the two has been beeping for another chapter, and we have to speed up the progress.However, I feel that I am writing this book very slowly, huh. . .
