The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

Chapter 17 Borrowing Donkeys Down the Slope, Pandas, and Cabbage to Find Out Bao Gong's Ingenio

At dusk Cangshan is far away, the westerly wind is fading away, but the chill is a little bit heavier.Zhan Nanxia hurried back to his residence, and when he reached the entrance of the alley, he suddenly saw two gray shadows slowly approaching not far away - a man leading a donkey.To be more precise, it should be the donkey leading the man, the gray donkey gnawed on the bit, and strolled in the courtyard, while a man in gray beside him held the reins and followed the donkey around, completely unable to grasp the direction.Nan Xia An Le: What kind of trouble does this living treasure want to cause?

When he got closer, Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Xiao Pan, where are you going to get on this donkey?"

Hearing the sarcasm in Zhan Zhao's words, Pan Pan couldn't help showing a fierce look in his eyes, glared at him, and then pretended that nothing happened, and replied, "Go for a stroll." Privately thinking: Let's just treat him as a pet, you Are you bothered?

"Oh, I don't see that you still have such hobbies." Zhan Zhao couldn't stop looking at this person and donkey, with no intention of going there.

"I have always had a wide range of hobbies." Pan Pan raised his head, but remained calm.

"It's better for you to ride on it. Donkeys like to kick. Be careful not to kick them."

nonsense!If we can ride, how about running with it? "I...I'm afraid it will be tired..." She was still stubborn.

Zhan Zhao finally couldn't hold back his laughter, his face was bright and warm, like the scorching sun in autumn.Seeing Pan Pan, he felt dazzled for a moment, lowered his head and cursed inwardly: laugh, laugh... I'll beat you to death...

After a pause, the laughter faded away, and someone who was annoyed raised his eyelids, and said expressionlessly, "Have you laughed enough? I still have something to do, let's go ahead." One note, "Let's go!"

The gray donkey didn't move a muscle.Pan Pan was furious, stepped forward impatiently, put his arms around the donkey's neck and said: "Good man, let's get on the road." The gray donkey snorted loudly, but it made her take two steps back: This stubborn donkey!Why are you trying to get along with us?Twenty or so Chinese cabbages are still left in the market, waiting for us to drag them...

"Woo", the gray donkey seemed to understand it, it left her behind, spread its hooves, sprang forward, and ran towards Zhan Zhao.

"Hey, you stupid donkey! Come back to me..." Pan Pan jumped around anxiously.

"It doesn't seem to want to listen to you?" Zhan Zhao patted the gray donkey's head lightly, and said with a little complacency.

Pan Pan gouged out Zhan Zhao's eyes with resentment, and then grinned: "This donkey has a problem--lust..."

"Really?" Zhan Zhao showed no sign of anger, and said slowly, "Why do I think this donkey seems to have been gelded?"

Pan Pan sweated wildly: Stop the bird!We can't get around you... For a long time, this stubborn donkey in Tie Zhu's family is actually a eunuch...

Zhan Zhao asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, where did you get that donkey?"

She lowered her head and said honestly: "Ask the neighbor to borrow it..." Just after she finished her answer, she thought something was wrong, and she flew into a rage, "You are a donkey!"

Zhan Zhao was startled, and quickly pointed to the gray donkey and said, "I mean it, not you..."

Pan Pan was so angry that he had no image, rolled up his sleeves, rolled up his clothes, put one hand on his hips, and pointed at the tip of Nan Xia's nose with the other: "You said it! Just said it! You just said I was it..." Looking at the donkey again, pouted He muttered, "Here... here comes the donkey!"

Zhan Zhao didn't explain too much, he stretched out his hand to grab a thin claw that was poking at the upper door, and even lifted it, and put the yelling panda on the donkey's back, with one hand on the loop, he said softly: "Where are you going? I'll give you a lift."

She desperately shook off the big hand that was clutching her wrist, "sizzling" gasped, turned her face away and replied, "The market ahead."

Nan Xia led the donkey and asked again: "Hey, what big things did you buy? Do you have to lead the donkey to carry it?"

Pan Pan was ashamed to tell him: I was greedy for cheap, and I planned to plant seven or eight cabbages, but was fooled by the vegetable vendor and bought up the remaining 20 or so cabbages... "Let's store some vegetables for the winter." She hesitated. .

The two swaggered through the market together, attracting passers-by to stare.Everyone was depressed: this young man in blue shirt looks majestic and has an extraordinary bearing, how could he fall behind and lead the donkey?Instead, let a thin companion sit on the back of a donkey and have fun...

When he arrived at the vegetable stall, Pan Pan slid down the donkey's back, pointed to a large pile of cabbage on the ground, and said with a twisted expression, "Hey, help us move the cabbage."

Seeing the power, Nan Xia couldn't laugh or cry: "This cabbage must weigh a hundred catties? When will you buy it and eat it?"

"Let's put it in the cellar first. Hehe..." She laughed endlessly, "Why don't I send you some before I leave."

The two drove the donkey back home. Pan Pan had food in his hands and was not in a panic. The image of him lying on the hot kang eating dumplings stuffed with cabbage and meat in the snow outside could not help but appear in his mind... Immediately he was in a good mood and began to ask Zhan Zhaoji started talking about the embarrassing story about Gongsun Ce pretending to be a Taoist priest and being exposed by Zhang Xiang.Nan Xia was also happy to hear that, and later helped her to store cabbage, so there is no need to elaborate.

After Zhang Luo finished dinner, Pan Pan went to the wing room to call Baogong and the three to eat as usual.While dusting off the vegetable crumbs on his body, he lifted the curtain and entered the room: "Mr. Zheng, you three should come out to eat."

Gongsun Ce said courteously: "Oh, Xiao Pan has worked hard, sit down and drink some water!"

Pan Pan felt that he had done a lot of hard work, so he sat down next to Duke Bao, and was about to drink tea when he suddenly saw a young man standing beside Zhan Zhao.Surprised in my heart: Don't want to rely on my family again, right?No way!No extra money, we are determined not to agree... So he frowned and said, "This is?"

The bookish man opened his mouth, then looked at Bao Gong and Gongsun again, hesitated and did not answer.

Gongsun Ce hurriedly said: "This is Mr. Zhang Xi Zhang, who just rushed back from Kaifeng today."

Pan Pan's green eyes shine: Wow, the funder who hangs a bonus of 100 taels!

She quickly jumped up from her seat, jumped in front of Zhang Xi, pushed away Zhan Zhao who was next to him as if no one else was there, grabbed his arm, flatteringly said: "Young Master Zhang, the road is hard..."

Zhang Xiyi looked cautious and wanted to break free from her restraint, but the person in front of him looked thin and weak, but his hands were not weak.He never thought that the panda was holding him for money. "No...not hard work."

"Mr. Zhang, sit down! Drink some water to moisten your throat first." She dragged Zhang Xi to sit beside Bao Gong, and then forced the tea that Gongsun Ce had brought her into Zhang Xi's hand.

Zhang Xi knew the identity of Duke Bao, how could he dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the governor of Kaifeng, he trembled to get up, but was pushed back several times by the ignorant Pan Pan.

Zhan Zhao saw that the two were chattering non-stop, and frowned, "Brother Zhang, as the saying goes, 'whatever you want', since Xiao Pan values ​​you so much, it's not good to make excuses."

Gongsun Ce also said: "That's right, Mr. Zhang. Speaking of which, Xiao Pan has some fate with you. He has done a great job in your brother's case."

Zhang Xi hurriedly thanked him, and Pan Pan waved his hands, thinking proudly: 100 taels will be divided among four people, so let's get 25 taels anyway, right?Hey, well developed...

Bao Gong said: "Although Lai Ziqi pleaded guilty to all charges in court, there are still some strange things in this case."

Pan Pan hurriedly interrupted: "That's right, that's right! Today, when Mrs. Yang cried, Lai Ziqi immediately softened. Without saying a word, she made all the moves. According to me, Mrs. Yang and her adulterer can't be identified. He is the mastermind, and Lai Ziqi is just a borrowed knife from them."

Bao Gong stroked his beard and nodded: "Xiao Pan is right."

Zhan Zhao continued: "Today I found out some news at Shoucai Shop. It turned out that Zhang Xiang, a scholar who had an affair with the Yang family, was the step-son of the old shop owner. He only transferred the shop to his cousin three years ago..." As he spoke, he recounted what he had seen and heard in the shop.

Everyone was quite surprised.

Bao Gong pondered for a moment and asked: "Xiong Fei, there are seven nails in one set?"

"Exactly."

"Then you visited Gaoji Knife Shop yesterday, do you know how many pairs they made?" Bao Gong asked again.

"A total of five pairs, 35 sticks."

Bao Gong nodded: "As expected, this long nail is deadly, and the plan is so thorough, it seems that he is familiar with it."

Gongsun's expression brightened, and he clapped his hands and said, "Yes! Feng Shaoyuan said today that when he took over the shop, he had a total of twenty long nails, which must have been short many years ago. But Zhang Xiang is a stepson, but After the sudden death of the stepfather, he didn’t think about making progress, changed his business as a seller, and even changed back to the original one, there’s something wrong with it!”

"But Lai Ziqi has already been sentenced to beheaded by the prisoner, and put on death row. He will be asked to be executed in the autumn. It is already difficult to meet him, and it is not easy to retract the confession?" Zhan Zhao raised doubts.

Pan Panzheng was stunned when he heard this: Where did these talented people come from?Wentao, martial arts, everything is complete... And this case, why do we feel that there is a tendency to develop into "A Tale of Two Nails"?But this process is different from what was shown on TV or written in the book...Suddenly, everyone's eyes are focused on her again...You don't want to fall in love with us again, do you?The intuition was not good, she moved towards the door bit by bit...

"Xiao Pan, if you want Lai Ziqi to retract his confession, I have to trouble you." Bao Gong said calmly.

"That's right, Xiao Pan is extremely intelligent and flexible, so he should be up to this great task." Gongsun fanned the flames from the side.

"Brother Pan, please be respected by my younger brother!" Zhang Xi was excited, he looked at Pan Pan, and bowed to the end, "My brother was wronged and died tragically, and I hope that Brother Pan will not hesitate to help and show justice!"

Pan Pan trembled: You just dig a hole and bury us in it...

Just when the two confronted each other, Zhan Zhao came out suddenly, walked to her side unhurriedly, and whispered a few words in her ear. Someone's head felt like picking out garlic when he heard it, and when he swept away the haze just now, Zhao Hua's face became full...

Pan Pan stared at Zhang Xi, the greedy light in his eyes soared, and he said a little excitedly: "Yeah, Mr. Zhang is right. We are also members of the Gongmen, and it is our duty to eliminate evil and evil." Pause for a moment , scratching his head in doubt, "It's just Zhang Xiang...if he pushes it clean, what should we do?"

Bao Gong had a plan in mind: "It's not difficult, just invite Feng Shaoyuan to talk about it."

Seeing Pan Pan drifting away, Gongsun Ce couldn't help asking: "Guard Zhan, what did you say to that little coward? It's so effective?"

Nan Xia smiled and replied, "Zhan just told him that Mr. Zhang raised the reward to 200 taels."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Baogong laughed and said: "Guard Zhan, you have to be careful that he asks you for money in the future."
