[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

His mind was in a mess, and Nian Yi was a little at a loss, until he led the horse back and didn't know how to speak.

After rushing for a day, Zhan Zhao was exhausted physically and mentally. He sat at the table and raised his hand to drink tea. Seeing that she was still standing by, he also said calmly, "Sit down."

She watched his expression carefully, and slowly sat down, feeling uncomfortable for a long time, and slowly got up.

"I'll just stand..."

"Nian Yi." After drinking his tea, Zhan Zhao asked her softly, "Is this how you got your money in the past?"

She lowered her head and said honestly: "It was Shi Yin who gave it to me, and I don't know where he came from."

"Why don't you wait until I come back to discuss this matter?"

"I was waiting...but you never came back."

"Then you shouldn't make your own claims." He shook his head, "The people around here are all ordinary people, they are not considered rich, and their money is not easy to come by."

Nian made a small excuse: "I don't collect much, but the business is good..."

"How much did you charge?"

She slowly took out the money bag from her sleeve, Zhan Zhao stared at her, reached out to take it and weighed it.It was heavy, to say the least.

His frown became tighter and tighter.

"These money should be returned to other people when they have time."

"So many?" Nian looked surprised, "How do I know who it is?"

"Then look for it slowly."

Hearing that his tone was firm and almost non-negotiable, Nian Yi bit his lower lip, responded in a low voice, and lowered his head to take back the money bag.

"I just want to help you because I see you are so tired."

Seeing what she said, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but soften his heart, took her hand, took out a silver ingot from his bosom, and put it on it.

"You don't need to help, I can support you. You take care of this."

Nian Yi looked at the thin calluses on his fingertips, pursed his lips in relief, and said with a smile: "But I can't just stay at home, can I?"

Zhan Zhao smiled lightly: "It's enough to know how to cook, doesn't it mean that now it's not just the ability to be in the lower class? What else?"

"Well, Grandma Wang taught me how to make fried rice, it's quite simple." She turned back and walked into the kitchen, "Wait a while, I'll make it for you to try."

"it is good."

A fire was lit on the stove, he leaned against the door and quietly watched Nian Yi busy in the kitchen, his hanging heart finally settled down.

When I was away, I often worried about whether she was doing well at home. I don't know when, an inexplicable uneasiness lingered in my heart, as if something was about to happen.

Maybe Gongsun Ce is right, life can no longer make do with it.

He frowned slightly, the aroma of the food gradually wafted from the firelight, looking at Nian Yi's back while thinking, he felt a little bit guilty.She is here alone, every day must be very boring, but it is rare for him to come back and give him a scolding first, his tone just now was indeed too harsh...

"It's done." In a trance, Nian Yi picked up a bowl of fried rice and held it in front of him, with a smile in his eyes, as if he wasn't annoyed at all by what happened before. "Egg fried rice, in fact, if someone teaches, it is not difficult to learn how to cook."

"It's stained on my face." Zhan Zhao reminded her softly, and brushed her chin with his thumb.

"Is that so..." Seeing that there was indeed a grain of rice in his hand, Nian couldn't help but reach out and wipe it away.

"Well, there's more."

"Anything else? Where..."

"Here." He leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.

Nian Yi was still in a daze, Zhan Zhao took the bowl from her hand as if nothing had happened, and said softly, "I'm going to eat."

Xu Shi felt ashamed that he had spoiled the little girl. In the evening, Mrs. Wang came to visit with a hot dumpling. Outside the courtyard, she saw Zhan Zhao stretching out her hand to help Nian with a strand of loose hair. She hurriedly laughed and said:

"I'll just say, when the couple quarrels, the head of the bed fights at the end of the bed, and there's no reason to be so angry about a trivial matter."

She put the food box on the table, looked up and saw that the sky was getting dark, and the lights were on in the street market, she turned her head and said:

"The Qiqiao Festival is coming, and the lanterns at the night market are so beautiful, why don't you take Madam out to have a look?" She rubbed her hands, "I think Madam stays at home all day and only goes for a walk, so how about that?" How boring."

These words are consistent with what Zhan Zhao thought in his heart. When he came back at noon, he saw the festive lanterns. It must be very beautiful at night.

So, after eating, he dragged Nianyi to the street.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, until it is completely dark at Xushi. There is no curfew in Kaifeng at night, and the crowds generally flow in the streets.

Nian Yi looked at the brilliant fireworks above his head, and was worried that his body would not be able to take it anymore, "It doesn't have to be tonight if you want to see the lights. If you go out, don't you take a rest?"

"It's okay, and I'm not tired."

He wasn't really interested in watching the lanterns, but it was too quiet at home, and he was worried that she would get sick from boredom, not to mention that he still apologized for what happened during the day, so he simply let her out for a walk.

"The front is my home." Looking up, he saw the flying bridge not far away, and the scenery became more and more familiar as he walked. Nian's eyes lit up immediately, and he turned to lead him, "I'll take you to see it."

This neighborhood is where bureaucrats live, with majestic houses and countless pavilions and courtyards.

Zhan Zhao was led by her to a gate with animal heads. There were two stone lions squatting outside the gate. When he looked up, the word "Sun Mansion" was written on the plaque.

"This place... seems to be the residence of Sun Xin, a member of the Zuo Division, Wailang."

"Really?" Nian Yi stared blankly at the door for a long time before smiling at him, "This neighborhood really hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as 50 years ago."

I can still vividly remember the streets I walked, the snacks I ate, the fireworks I watched, and even the scene when I ransacked my house.

"Let's go." Seeing the reluctance in her smile, Zhan Zhao said softly, "There are jugglers over there at Zhouqiao."

"okay."

Compared with juggling, the snacks at Zhouqiao Night Market are the most plentiful. Xiangtangzi, Crispy Crystal Carp, and Fried Clips are not expensive, attracting many gluttonous children to buy them.

Walking in front of the two of them were two twin boys with the same appearance, holding hands, each eating fruit, laughing cheerfully.

Nianyi followed them all the way with his gaze, with a gentle expression on his face.

"It's good to be a child, carefree."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao asked her sideways, "Do you like children?"

"Well, I like Xiao Er and Xiao San very much. After getting engaged in the past, I always thought that if I had a child, I would treat him very well."

It's a pity she can't...

Zhan Zhao held her hand and said softly, "If you really want it, we can adopt one."

The corners of her lips were slightly curved, and she lowered her head shyly, "Let's talk about this."

"By the way." The two children gradually walked away, and Nian Yi suddenly remembered something, "When my family was in trouble, it seemed that I didn't see my uncle..."

"Your uncle?"

"He was an official in the same dynasty as my father, and the imperial decree issued that day was to punish the three clans, so I'm afraid he might not be spared."

Just as they were talking, the two had already walked to Panlou East Street, which was the busiest place. Looking around, there was a sea of ​​people rubbing shoulders, bustling with each other. There were indeed jugglers among the crowd, and they could hear cheers and applause from time to time.

Nian Yi and Zhan Zhao were just about to go to watch the excitement when suddenly something fell from above their heads and rolled in the middle of the street.After being able to see its outline clearly, the surrounding crowd immediately screamed out.

"Corpse! It's a corpse!"

One person tremblingly said: "It's a dead body without a head again, it's exactly the same as that of Boss Ren He Yazi!"

It was unbelievable to think about a corpse falling from the sky in such a crowded street market, and the onlookers became more and more restless, whispering among each other.

Nian Yi stuck his head out from behind Zhan Zhao.

Lying flat on the ground was a female corpse, dressed in gorgeous clothes, but there was a faint chill coming out.

Not long after, another head covered in ice water fell from the sky, and everyone hurriedly retreated to avoid it.

The face of the corpse was a little distorted, but it could be seen that the deceased was not young, around thirty or older.

There might be one or two present who felt familiar, and whispered: "This...isn't this Huayuelou's mother Chen?"

"Unexpectedly, it was her turn."

"Retribution." Someone nodded, "Aren't the three of them the least believers in retribution? Even God can't stand it now."

"Brother Zhan." Nian Yi listened for a while, and leaned into his ear, "It looks like a bustard."

"How long have you been dead?"

"Not long ago, either today or yesterday."

Her clothes were almost soaked in water, as if she had just been fished out of the river, Zhan Zhao squatted down and touched the corner of her clothes—it was cold.

"What are you doing?!"

Someone from behind yelled loudly, "This is the scene of the crime, how can you allow yourself to mess around here!"

Zhan Zhao turned his head to look, the person who spoke was wearing a policeman's uniform, with a knife on his waist.Seeing that he was a member of the government, he stopped meddling in other people's business, clapped his hands and stood up.

"Get out of the way, idlers, etc., don't stay here." The policemen who arrived one after another immediately began to disperse the crowd, followed by the chief secretary of Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun Ce, and the newly appointed Kaifeng Mansion Governor, Bao Zheng.

The two policemen were yelling for Zhan Zhao and Nianyi to avoid them, when Gongsun Ce saw them and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"Eh, no need."

With a big smile all over his face, he pushed aside the guards in front of him and walked to Zhan Zhao's side.

"You two also came to see the night market?"

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly: "It just happened to pass by."

"Oh." He didn't care, his eyes fell on the female corpse on the ground, he shook his head and said, "Old bustard Chen from the brothel? He died quite badly."

Bao Zheng leaned over and turned over the corpse, "The complexion is purple and black, and the smell is fishy, ​​it is poisonous snake venom."

Gongsun Ce was startled, "My lord, you must not touch a poisoned corpse."

"I have my own measure." He looked around sideways, and stood up while wiping his hands.

"I heard that the corpse fell from the sky?"

"Yes, yes." The onlookers on the side nodded repeatedly, "Everyone has seen it, it is absolutely true."

Gongsun Ce stroked his green beard thoughtfully: "To be able to leave the corpse in this place, he must be a master of lightness kung fu... Has anyone seen the murderer?"

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, then shook their heads neatly.

Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at Nian Yi, and said softly, "Maybe, the corpse wasn't thrown from the sky."

"Oh?" Gongsun Ce pretended to be surprised, "What's your opinion?"

Just as the words were falling, Bao Zheng, who was still pondering over the corpse, nodded in agreement: "What Chivalrous Zhan said is true, the deceased's clothes were soaked, his body was extremely cold, and there were still some ice cubes on his head, which is clearly the result of being killed by someone. People have been frozen. Right above this is a century-old locust tree, and the murderer must have done something to the tree beforehand."

After he finished speaking, he was about to ask Gongsun Ce what he meant, when he raised his eyes and saw his disgusted expression, he couldn't help being taken aback, and said in a low voice:

"Sir...could it be that the officer said something wrong?"

Gongsun Ce sighed helplessly, waved his hands and said nothing.

He turned around, clasped his fists at Zhan Zhao again and said with a smile, "Hero Zhan has extraordinary lightness kung fu, can you bother to climb up the tree and have a look?"

Zhan Zhao originally had this intention, nodded his head slightly, and jumped onto the treetop with his toes pointing. Although there are many martial arts masters gathered in the capital, not many of them have such good light skills, and many people below exclaimed .

This is indeed an old locust tree with luxuriant branches and thick branches. It should not be difficult to hide someone among the branches.

Soon he found a thick rope among the branches and rolled over.

"As expected." Bao Zheng took the rope and smiled slightly. "This man can also use his brains."

Nian Yi listened for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "He did it to tie people to a tree? So, this corpse fell down by accident?"

"No, no, no." Gongsun Ce waved his hands and smiled, "This man is very high-spirited, and he has to leave his handwriting on killing people. I'm afraid it's intentional to let everyone in the city know that this old bustard died here."

"Then how did she fall?"

Zhan Zhao said, "It's not difficult, just use ice."

"ice?"

He smiled lightly: "If the ice melts, wouldn't people fall naturally?"

"So that's the case." Nian Yi praised him without hesitation, "You are so smart."

"Speaking of ice..." Bao Zheng frowned and pondered, "The heads of He Yi and Ren Peng were also frozen. The murderer did this... What's the point?"

Killed three people in one breath, and all three of them had their heads cut off, but there was no use in cutting off their heads, was it just to vent their anger?If this is the case, the enmity between this person and these three people is probably extraordinary.

"What kind of enemy did you provoke to make such a murderous move?"

"The enemy? I think the three of them deserve death."

In the crowd, a cold voice came from nowhere, Bao Zheng and others couldn't help but follow the sound.

But I saw a person walking under the tree, dressed as a martial artist, with slightly disheveled hair and a gloomy face, with a huge machete on his back, his every step seemed to have murderous intent.

Although surrounded by fast arresters, he passed Bao Zheng without fear, and said coldly:

"You dog official, you don't think about the common people, but look for the real culprit for these three villains. In my opinion, the next one to die, I'm afraid it will be you."

"Bold!" The policeman beside him yelled, "How dare you be rude to our lord, you are simply impatient!"

He went up a few steps and patted the man on the shoulder, "Maybe you are the murderer, come on, follow us to the Yamen!"

The swordsman glanced at the hand on his shoulder, snorted coldly, without even turning his head, shook his body, and shook it away with his internal force.

The catcher quickly rolled around on the ground, gritted his teeth and stood up:

"Who the hell are you!?"

Seeing this, all the arresters drew out their knives one after another, and quickly surrounded him.

The swordsman looked around coldly, but he didn't panic in his eyes, he just said: "It's ridiculous, you want to block my way?"

Hearing his tone of voice, no one dared to step forward for a moment, the swordsman took a few steps, and the arresters backed away unconsciously.There was a sneer on his lips, but he had no intention of taking their lives, so he jumped together and disappeared into the night after a while.

Zhan Zhao looked at the direction where he was leaving and said calmly, "What a handsome skill."

Nian Yi asked him curiously: "Better than you?"

After Zhan Zhao listened, he just smiled and didn't answer.

The author has something to say: Mr. Bao always takes the blame and expresses his grievances.

A: Dog officer!

B: Dog officer!

C: Dog officer!

Bao Zheng: Bu really understands your dog slaves...

Demonstrate the strength of adults to tease girls.

Meh, this posture, you can learn it by just looking at it [Indifferent face.jpg]
