Zhaohua's love

Chapter 10 Re-entering the Jiangning Fog

Due to the assassination last night, the Ding family fell into a panic again.Mrs. Ding was hit by this again, but she knew that if she fell down again, the younger generation would be even more panicked, so she insisted on eating normally, resting normally, and taking care of her body, but the white hair on her head increased a lot overnight.

Bai Yutang called the four sworn brothers and sister-in-law from Xingkong Island overnight to protect and take care of the comatose Ding brothers day and night.

In the front hall of the Ding family, Ding Yuehua, Lin Qinghe and Min Xiuxiu were all taking care of the Ding family brothers, while the Five Rats and Zhan Zhao were discussing countermeasures.

"Zhan Zhao is right. The purpose of those people is to put the younger brother of the Ding family to death. Now that they have succeeded, they will not come again for a while. Xiuxiu will do her best to suppress Zhaolan's poison, and she will be able to protect her. ...One month's life, we will find a way." Lu Fang knew that now he had to take one step at a time.

"Cat, didn't you say that you heard those people talking about Lin Ziyong in the forest? Presumably Lin Ziyong had an extraordinary relationship with them, and Lin Ziyong died strangely. If you find out about this matter, you can Knowing who killed the Ding family may save their lives!" Bai Yutang said.

"That's right! Fifth brother is right! That's it, Zhan Zhao, you go to investigate the case, and the Ding family's affairs will be handed over to the five of us!" Xu Qing immediately answered.

"Okay, since that's the case, Zhan will hurry to Jiangning mansion, and he will definitely find out the truth within half a month and save the lives of the two brothers Ding!" Zhan Zhao looked at the room full of righteous knights, his eyes were slightly moist .Such a situation, the original own is also longing for.

In the guest room, Zhan Zhao packed up his luggage, picked up the giant que, took a deep breath, and stepped out.But he saw Ding Yuehua standing at the gate of the courtyard looking at him with a haggard face.

"Ding...Miss Yuehua, what's the matter?" Zhan Zhao stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Brother Zhan...I...I want to go with you." Ding Yuehua twisted his hands together, and the joints were a little white.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting it.

"I know, my elder brother and second brother have become like this, I shouldn't leave at this time, but, I, once I see them like that, I can't wait to kill those beasts with my own hands! I, I can't wait for a moment Go down. I know that if I go to Jiangning, I will definitely meet those people! Brother Zhan, let me go with you!" Ding Yuehua said, already crying, with tears in his eyes.

"This..."

"Mao'er, let her go. She will be very uncomfortable if she stays here." It can be said that Bai Yutang grew up with Ding Yuehua, and he loves this younger sister very much.He knew that since the Ding family had an accident last time, she was not feeling well for a moment, and the pressure in her heart might be greater than imagined.But she also has an empathetic temperament, so she won't show it, she just keeps it in her heart.After the incident happened last night, she just cried for a while beside the seriously injured Ding Zhaohui, and the rest of the time she was just blank, her eyes were empty, and some tears flowed occasionally.Xiaolan was so scared that when her sister-in-law entered the mansion, she knelt down in front of her sister-in-law.Maybe let her out so she can blow off some steam.Bai Yutang thought so.

"Madam Ding..." Zhan Zhao hesitated.

"I'll talk to Auntie, it's not too late, you should get on the road as soon as possible." Bai Yutang urged.

"it is good."

"Brother Bai, my brother and my mother just..."

"Leave it to me, let's go."

On the official road, two white horses galloped by, and the eager shouts of the riders gradually dissipated in the wind.In this way, he rushed day and night, and finally arrived at Jiangning Mansion three days later.

The Qingfeng Inn that caught fire that day has been repaired, perhaps because of the fire, the business of the inn is even more prosperous today.Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua finally chose the largest inn in Jiangning Mansion.

On the day they first arrived, the two found out that the newly arrived magistrate Feng Wen had no political achievements, but instead raised land taxes.

"This Mr. Feng is really inferior to that Mr. Lin. What a pity, what a good and upright official, how could he be given to... oh..." A fish seller lamented to Ding Yuehua.

"The enemy?" Ding Yuehua was a little surprised.

"That's right, the new Mr. Feng just took office, so he sent the yamen to investigate for three days, making everyone uneasy, and finally said that this is Mr. Lin's feud with others. Oh, really such a pity."

in the inn.

"Brother Zhan, I don't think Master Lin was killed by an enemy." Ding Yuehua affirmed.

"Why?" Zhan Zhao asked back.

"Ah? No reason, because didn't Brother Zhan say that his death must be related to the man in black we fought that night? Doesn't Brother Zhan think so now?" Ding Yuehua was puzzled.

"I just had an intuition that day, but you can't convict a case based on intuition alone, unless you find evidence." Zhan Zhao explained.

"Then let's look for it quickly. Brother Zhan said that day that Mr. Lin was buried too fast, which is unreasonable, so let's go to the Lin family to look for it." Ding Yuehua suggested.

"Well, I'll go to Lin's house tonight." Zhan Zhao replied.Can't help but sigh Ding Yuehua's delicate thoughts.

"I'm with you!" Ding Yuehua said in an irrefutable tone.

"Okay." Zhan Zhao was very helpless.

That night.Two black figures jumped up and down among the houses, and finally stopped at the Lin Mansion not far from the government office.Since Lin Ziyong passed away, the family members of the Lin family have been living here.

Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua looked at each other, nodded, and then left in two directions.

The silence of the night seemed to awaken a pool of spring water by breathing, Ding Yuehua carefully avoided any objects that might make noise, and stood at the gate of a yard.It looks like this is the owner's bedroom.Thinking that there might be clues he needs here, Ding Yuehua walked slowly to the door, trying to push it away.Suddenly, Ding Yuehua was patted twice on the shoulder. Ding Yuehua was startled, almost screamed out, his whole body tensed up, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and he was about to turn around to strike, when he heard a voice as small as a mosquito: "Yes! I."

It's Zhan Zhao.

Ding Yuehua suddenly let go of his heart, but still broke out in a cold sweat.

"Go." Zhan Zhao whispered.

Ding Yuehua was taken aback for a moment, but didn't ask any questions, and followed Zhan Zhao out of the Lin residence one by one.

The two jumped into the inn room through the window, Ding Yuehua let out a long breath, and stroked his chest as if comforting.

Zhan Zhao chuckled, causing Ding Yuehua to give him a reproachful stare, but he couldn't hide his smile.

"You scared me to death, you're still laughing!" Ding Yuehua was a little dissatisfied.

"The next time something like this happens, you must pay attention to the movement around you. Just now you were so engrossed in pushing the door that you were frightened by me." Zhan Zhao said with a smile.

"Oh." Ding Yuehua responded, and sat down a little awkwardly.

"Brother Zhan came back suddenly, didn't you look for clues?" Ding Yuehua suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip.

"There are some discoveries." Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice. "I went to Mr. Lin's study before he was alive, and found this handwriting in the bookcase, which recorded some jokes in the market. It seems to be Mr. Lin's handwriting." Zhan Zhao said, and took out a blue booklet from his arms .

"What's so special about this notebook?" Ding Yuehua asked.

"Under normal circumstances, literati's bookcases are clearly classified and easy to read. According to common sense, manuscripts are things that are often read and recorded. They should be placed on the desk. Among them, the letter is thin and small, and it is not easy to find and take it in it. This is not in line with common sense. Also, at the end of the letter, there is a poem written five days before Master Lin was assassinated.

'A loyal soul who created the world,

The coffin can't hide the floating body.

Poor Saibei Qin Guanyue,

According to the smoke of the wolves, there is no recruitment. '

Master Lin was the supervisor of the Huaiyuan Garrison before he became the prefect of Jiangning. He was transferred to Jiangning a year ago.I used to suspect that it was the men in black we met that night who killed Mr. Lin. They held long knives and their martial arts were strange, and they seemed to be dead soldiers from foreign races.If it's as I expected, then their motives are definitely not that simple, if Master Lin has something they need, then..." Zhan Zhao frowned tightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"A loyal soul from the beginning of the world, the coffin can't hide his body..." Zhan Zhao read the verses in the booklet in a low voice. "Open... the coffin..., open the coffin!" Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered the conversation of the man in black he heard in the forest.

"Master Lin was buried in a hurry, there must be some secrets in his coffin that cannot be discovered by his killers, but must be known by others, so this poem was left behind." Zhan Zhao speculated, and he became more determined in his mind .

Ding Yuehua was puzzled, and Zhan Zhao explained the ins and outs to her. They both felt that Mr. Lin might have been murdered by Xixia people. (Huaiyuan is a military center facing Xixia)

After much deliberation, Zhan Zhao decided to ask the magistrate to open the coffin tomorrow.

On the second day, the two went to the magistrate's yamen, Zhan Zhao revealed his identity, and expressed his request to open the coffin.Feng Wen readily agreed.The two came to Lin's mansion again and asked to see Lin Ziyong's widow, Shen Shi.

Ding Yuehua explained to Mrs. Lin why she came here, and Mrs. Lin recalled her deceased husband with tears in her eyes.

"Madam, I really don't want to disturb the deceased. But now, there are many things behind Mr. Lin's death. If we can't find out the reason, I'm afraid... this is your lord's handwriting. Presumably, your lord also wants to make the truth known to the public." Ding Yuehua comforted Mrs. Lin while softly persuading her.

Mrs. Lin looked at the poem written by her husband, and felt a burst of grief in her heart. She choked up and said, "Why...why..." She couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Madam... This is Master Lin's wish. Madam please trust us, Brother Zhan, and when we find out the truth and report to Master Bao, everything will come to light!" Ding Yuehua persuaded softly.

"Lord Bao? But Bao Zheng from Kaifeng Mansion?" Mrs. Lin asked after hearing the words.

"Exactly! My Xia Zhan Zhao is a guard with a knife in Kaifeng Mansion, and he came to investigate the case at the order of the Holy Majesty and Master Bao." Zhan Zhao who was on the side stepped forward and replied.

"Lord Bao, it must be. Okay, I promise you, open...open the coffin." Mrs. Lin's sudden answer surprised Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua, who did not expect Mrs. Lin to trust Master Bao so much.

"Thank you Madam Lin for your kindness." Zhan Zhao looked at Madam Lin's red but firm eyes, and made up his mind to find out the real culprit and restore the truth.

But when the dark and heavy coffin was slowly opened, the situation inside surprised everyone present.

Although Lin Ziyong, who had been buried in the coffin for a long time, was pale and bloodless, his skin was still the same as before, without any trace of decay. However, the two brocade quilts that should have been spread under the dead body and covered the dead body were messy. Unexpectedly, it has obviously been moved.Seeing this scene, Mrs. Lin let out a wail, her eyes went dark, and she actually passed out.The two maidservants of Lin's mansion frantically supported her, and Feng Wen also directed the servants to help send Mrs. Lin back.

Zhan Zhao held back the anger and sadness surging in his heart, stepped forward and gently touched the items in the coffin, but found nothing.He pulled up part of the brocade quilt, and saw that the quilt surface of the brocade quilt was picked apart by a sharp weapon, exposing the cotton inside, and it seemed that there was nothing in the quilt.

Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth, and searched for a long time among the clothes on Mr. Lin's body, but still found nothing.Suspicion crept up his brows, could it have been taken away by villains?

There was nothing suspicious in the coffin, and the only clue was broken.Thinking of Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui who were still in a coma in the Ding family, and thinking of Lin Ziyong who was murdered inexplicably, Zhan Zhao felt that there was a vast fog in front of him, he couldn't see the way forward, he had no clue, and he didn't know where to start to investigate.

child time.In an unknown alley in Jiangning Mansion, a man in black knelt on the ground, and a man in a black cloak stood in front of him.

"You mean, someone moved Lin Ziyong's coffin?" It was a woman's voice!

"Yes. Young master, could it be them?" the man in black asked.

"It must be. They are also planning to get what Lin Ziyong has, and they will definitely not let go of any place."

"What the young master said is very true. However, Zhan Zhao didn't find anything. Could it be that he was a step too late?"

"Impossible. I can feel that they haven't left yet. I'm afraid they, like us, want to find something with Zhan Zhao's hand. Hmph, it's smart." The woman's voice was cold and full of sarcasm.

"But young master, why don't we let Zhan Zhao go? I think Zhan Zhao is tied up, so we can't find anything."

"He is upright and righteous. Even when he investigates the case, he will do it politely. He is concerned about the dignity of the dead, but he is a man of love. Now, we have been targeted by that person. We must not let him He knows my whereabouts. We hide in the dark, give Zhan Zhao some hints when necessary, and lead him away, I don't believe I can't find what I want!"

"Yes! Young Master. I will try my best to find out all the news about Zhan Zhao and report it at any time." The man in black replied respectfully.Then he jumped onto the wall and disappeared into the night.
