White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

Zhan Zhao smiled and said nothing, but he was still thinking in his heart, since it is the Zhang family, there is a lot to do here.

First of all, the loss of such a big beast and not being reported to the officials, first of all, the crime was concealment and failure to report, and secondly, he did not turn himself in at this time. It can be said that he refused to repent.

Regardless of whether Mr. Bao files a complaint in front of the Holy Father or not, this family will have no good fruit.

Moreover, Zhou Shilang's death has a great connection with the Zhang family, even if Mr. Bao didn't go to persuade him this time, other people in the court would probably have to talk to the Holy Majesty.

Your Majesty, you should also take care of your harem. You were making a fuss in the harem, but you eccentrically gave the heirs of the Pang family a lucrative position, and even acquiesced in the matter of the harem tossing the wives into the palace.It's all right now, things are getting worse and worse, a servant of the household department died, and the Zhang family thought everything was in order, so they unscrupulously transported the beast to Beijing, and accidentally let the beast escape.It's even better now, it was supposed to be a good thing for the world to amnesty, but people were killed, this is a sign of the country's subjugation!

Of course the admonisher is just exaggerating, but what he said is the truth, no matter how kind the Holy Majesty is, he still needs to think more about it.

Now Master Bao went to the palace to file a complaint, and Concubine Zhang Guifei also received the news from outside the palace in time, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, she didn't know what to do.

However, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were idle.

Zhan Zhao wasn't on duty at all today, he wanted to take Bai Yutang for a stroll around, but he didn't even think about going out when he encountered a beast attacking Bianjing.

But Kaifeng Mansion has its own rules and regulations, and the big bug only needs to deal with the aftermath. The servants are busy counting things, receiving witnesses of this incident, and recording while asking. Mr. Gongsun took the injured to the charity hall in the backyard. Not having time to talk to them, Zhan Zhao was free again.

On the contrary, Bai Yutang had a big cat acting like a spoiled child in front of him, and he was not at all unhappy after his schedule was interrupted today.

Zhan Zhao looked at it for a while, and saw that this big cat with ginger yellow and white stripes was huge, with a tiger head and a tiger brain. The mighty image has been cut off a lot.

After looking at this scene, Zhan Zhao disappeared in the blink of an eye from Bai Yutang. Bai Yutang was shocked, but when he stood up suddenly, he disturbed the big cat nestled beside his lap, who was full of food and drink. No, this Kaifeng mansion is obviously Zhan Zhao's domain, so why is he still missing in Kaifeng mansion?

So Bai Yutang sat down again, drank pear and white flowers, and looked at the jade key for a long time.

Then Zhan Zhao sat next to him again, looked up, and saw a handful of files in his hand.

Seeing Bai Yutang's curious expression, Zhan Zhao said, "This is the case details of Zhou Shilang's death. It contains the testimony of the maid on duty that night and the eyewitness who saw the servants of Mei's mansion throwing the body."

Some of the testimonies were recorded by other yamen servants. When the situation of the case was unclear, Zhan Zhao would always go through the details of the case and the testimonies several times until he got clues and found doubts.

Bai Yutang was also quite interested and asked, "Can I watch it?"

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, and directly moved the case file in his hand to his side, and the two of them just looked at it like this.

Bai Yutang read it quickly and couldn't help scrolling down, when Zhan Zhao asked in surprise, "Have you finished reading it?"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "I read very fast."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while: "I have heard people say that everyone's reading speed is related to his reaction speed, but there is a kind of people who read books extremely fast, not only that, but also have a photographic memory. There are millions of such people. Only one of them appears, extremely rare, such a person can be called a genius."

Bai Yutang quietly flipped through the case file page by page, and didn't pay any attention to it after listening to it. Zhan Zhao knew that he had acquiesced.

From the past few days of getting along, it can be seen that Bai Yutang is not a high-profile person. Whether it refers to martial arts or his unique ability, even if it is rumored in the world that he has a bad temper and mediocre martial arts, he has never defended himself One or two, not to mention that Bai Yutang must have many people that Zhan Zhao doesn't know.But he is different from all the Jiang Hu people, he has a good family background, knowledgeable and reasonable, it can be said that besides Zhan Zhao, he is the most admired Jiang Hu man by Lord Bao, if it is not for Bai Yutang's personality that is not suitable for staying in the public, Zhan Zhao will definitely Master Bao will definitely keep Bai Yutang.

If Mr. Bao knew this, would he change his mind?

Zhan Zhao thought for a long time, and saw that Bai Yutang had read all the case files.

After reminiscing, Bai Yutang sorted out the clues and said, "The witnesses are all right, and the time is right. On the contrary, there is some discrepancy in what the Zhou family said."

Zhan Zhao said, "I would like to hear the details."

Bai Yutang: "The servant girl next to Zhou Shilang said that he had a nightmare seven days ago, chased people and talked nonsense, and then fell ill. He lay in bed for seven days and saw no one, but Aunt Wei, who was serving that day, did not see anyone."

"After Madam Zhou heard this, she became furious and ordered Aunt Wei to be locked up, but Zhou Shilang said that Aunt Wei should make up for her mistakes and let her take care of him by the bed from time to time, so Madam Zhou reluctantly agreed."

Zhan Zhao said: "So, Zhou Shilang lay in bed for seven days, and Aunt Wei was the one who took care of him and stepped forward?"

Seeing that Zhan Zhao understood what he meant, Bai Yutang nodded: "And the most strange thing is that the maid beside Aunt Wei has disappeared."

Zhan Zhao took a look at the case file, and it was indeed stated in the transcript that the maid beside Aunt Wei had said that she had gone back to her hometown to visit relatives as early as the day the white jade cup was lost.

Zhan Zhao couldn't understand such a simple case, so he didn't dare to call him Nanxia Zhan Zhao: "That is to say, what Brother Li saw was true? Aunt Wei is dead, and Zhou Shilang is actually dead. Is Aunt Wei the missing maid in disguise?"

This was a good method. If Li Kong hadn't seen it clearly from the beam at that time, they might still be at a loss as to what happened seven days ago.

But who can have such a means of disguise, and make no one in Zhou Shilang's family notice.

Bai Yutang said that he was from the Jianghu, but in fact it was his four older brothers who had spent a lot of money begging for help in the Jianghu and changed the name of loyalty. Say I understand.

On the contrary, Zhan Zhao had something to suspect in his mind.

This doubt was gradually resolved later, but Zhan Zhao had another doubt, why seven days?What is the meaning of seven days?

If Aunt Wei died a long time ago, why is the maid pretending to be Aunt Wei?Why did Zhou Shilang be killed seven days later?

Zhan Zhao studied the case file for half a day, but couldn't get an answer, but heard from Zhang Long that Mr. Bao had returned.

Master Bao must have come back with news, Zhan Zhao looked at the leisurely drinking wine beside him, leaning on the reclining chair looking leisurely, hesitating for a while, then heard Bai Yutang say: "Master Bao must have brought some news Come back, don't you go and see?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and walked towards the front hall.

After he left, Bai Yutang stroked his chin, and raised his foot to walk out.

But just when he was about to pull up his strength lightly, he heard a ripping sound, the big cat stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed the hem of his white clothes, and immediately tore the fine brocade jacket to pieces.

Bai Yutang frowned fiercely, turned his face darkened, and moved the tiger's head away and said, "Wait here for me obediently, don't go out even if you are hungry, I will ask someone to feed you."

The big cat stared at Bai Yutang with wide eyes, only felt that he was going to abandon him, so he almost came out.

Bai Yutang had no choice but to wrap a hair tie around his neck, as if hanging a sign, indicating that the big cat was domesticated.

The big cat smelled the familiar smell of being in a daze, and immediately lost its uneasiness. It scratched with its paws but stopped. It scratched Bai Yutang's clothes before and it broke. This thing is so unstable, it dare not scratch it anymore.

But when he looked up, Bai Yutang's voice had disappeared.

"Hmm..." The big cat could only lay down on the reclining chair where Bai Yutang had been lying in aggrieved state, smelling the familiar smell, leaning against its big head in a daze.

It seems to be a cub abandoned by his parents, so pitiful.

Zhan Zhaozheng, the cat's parent, heard from Master Bao that the Holy Majesty asked Kaifeng Mansion to thoroughly investigate the beast attack on Bianjing, and said that the investigators would deal with it seriously, so he knew that the Holy Majesty did not intend to protect his two concubines. The stress is reduced.

On the other side, Bai Yutang, the cat's patriarch, returned to the Mei Mansion and rummaged through things in his storeroom.

Bai Fu saw that Bai Yutang came back suddenly, but he was tossing around in the warehouse, so he couldn't help asking, "What is Fifth Lord looking for?"

Although the Mei Mansion was newly bought, the warehouse was neat and orderly, but it hadn't been cleaned for a few days, and there was dust floating everywhere, which would inevitably dirty Bai Yutang's white clothes.But not only did Bai Yutang not dislike him, but he was still looking for it, which made Bai Fu a little strange.

Bai Yutang said: "I remember that the master gave me a box of things a long time ago, saying that he would not open it until I was 24 years old. Did you bring those things?"

Speaking of this, Bai Fu suddenly realized: "It turns out that the old man left you something. A few days ago, the eldest lady specially ordered someone to bring it over. She said that your birthday is coming soon, and you must be able to use it soon. Counting the days, it will be worth it." It will be there in three days."

The eldest lady is talking about Min Xiuxiu, the eldest brother of Bai Yutang's four older brothers, Lu Fang's wife, Min Xiuxiu. Min Xiuxiu is the daughter of Luoyang genius doctor Min Ziqian. She is even more like a mother-in-law, meticulous and caring.

Unexpectedly, Min Xiuxiu remembered it so clearly, Bai Yutang felt warm and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for me."

Bai Fu smiled and said: "Ma'am, I heard that Mr. Gongsun of Kaifeng Prefecture is also a well-deserved famous doctor. If you want to thank Mrs. Gong, you can ask Mr. Gongsun a few questions for her."

Bai Yutang immediately raised his forehead, and sure enough, Bai Fu took out a thick book of medical advice. Since Min Xiuxiu was married as a woman, she seldom went out to see a doctor. If she had any questions, she didn't know what to do Is good.

So I came up with such a method, as long as I heard that there was a famous miracle doctor, I asked my brothers to ask them with questions, and after the questions were finished, I recorded them and brought them to her to see.

But Bai Yutang's elder brothers are all big and rough, and their handwriting is no different from that of a dog crawling. Only Bai Yutang's handwriting can be called excellent, so Min Xiuxiu also likes to ask Bai Yutang to do this job the most.

In other words, it is true to say that Bai Yutang doesn't know a few people from the rivers and lakes, but he recognizes all the genius doctors in the north and south of the river!

So is Bai Wuye a Jianghu man?
