White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]
Chapter 7
There was a lot of noise outside the yamen, apparently occupied by the Zhou family, surrounded by many people watching the excitement, the majestic Kaifeng mansion yamen looked like a vegetable stall, it was really outrageous.
Zhan Zhao frowned and said coldly: "The noise in front of the Kaifeng mansion is so unreasonable!" When he spoke, he used his internal strength, and the ears of the people around him rang, and no one dared to scream anymore.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect Zhan Zhao to have such a stern and serious side, but the effect was very obvious.He didn't know when he was already standing on the tree branch outside the door, his qinggong was ghostly and silent, no one noticed that the person they were looking for was not far away.
Zhou Qin, the eldest son of Zhou Shilang, was sent by the Zhou family to speak. He was dressed in white linen filial piety, his eyes were red and swollen, and he seemed to have cried all night for his father's sudden death. Captured a man in white, that man was the murderer of my father!"
Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, Bai Yutang only came to Kaifeng mansion for half an hour, why did Zhou's family receive the news so quickly, and who exactly was stirring up the muddy water.
But facing Zhou Qin whose father had just died, Zhan Zhao could not remain silent, and only said, "Bai Yutang was not the murderer who killed your father..."
Zhou Qin snorted and said, "Really? But why did my father die the night he entered Bianjing, and he was the only one wearing white clothes and using a long knife. Mr. Zhan, I know that Kaifeng is just and impartial. I just want one Evidence, please call him out to confront me."
Zhou Qin's action can be said to be using righteousness to pressure Zhan Zhao to hand over Bai Yutang. As a son of man, it is only natural for him to avenge his father, not to mention that his request is not too much, he just wants Zhan Zhao to hand over Bai Yutang.
But Zhan Zhao was unwilling. If he really handed over Bai Yutang, wouldn't he admit that Bai Yutang was the murderer of his father?
Bai Yutang was on the branch at this time, seeing the scene clearly. Just like what Zhou Qin said, his actions are reasonable now, and the people around him also nodded in agreement. His misunderstanding.Bai Yutang didn't want to cause him to be misunderstood by others because of his own affairs, and just about to speak out to rescue him, he saw Zhan Zhao stretching out his hand, as if gesturing to him, telling him not to move.
Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then stopped.
I saw Zhang Long and Zhao Hu leading the way ahead, and it was Bao Zheng, a scholar of Longtu, who appeared behind the servants.
Bao Zheng had the greatest reputation among the common people, and when he came, no one would think that Kaifeng Mansion would shield the murderer.
Bao Zheng stood upright with his hands behind his back, his expression grim and serious: "Who is in front of the Yamen, report your name, why are you making such a noise in front of the Kaifeng mansion!"
Zhou Qin hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Master Bao, the son of Zhou Yongtian, the servant of the lower household department, died for his father..."
Bao Zheng said sternly: "Master Zhou's case has been handed over to the Kaifeng government for trial. Does Mr. Zhou have any grievances and wants to appeal to this government?"
Zhou Qin opened his mouth and said: "That's not the case, I just heard that the murderer who killed my father has been found..."
Bao Zheng's expression darkened immediately: "Where did Mr. Qin know about the progress of the case?"
Zhou Qin was speechless and said, "I just pay attention to the case and hope to solve the case as soon as possible."
Bao Zheng said: "That is to say, Mr. Qin doesn't believe in Kaifeng Mansion, or this mansion?"
Zhou Qin could only shake his head.
Bao Zheng finally said: "If you have any grievances, Mr. Qin can beat the drums and complain, and you can tell the government if you have clues, but if you want to mess around and interfere with the Kaifeng government's handling of the case, don't blame the government for being rude!"
Zhou Qin shrunk his neck, not knowing why he felt chilly on the back of his neck, thinking of the three guillotine made by Bao Zheng, he didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhan Zhao glanced at where Bai Yutang was standing, his smug smile made Bai Yutang couldn't help but laugh, it seems that the government's affairs still need to be resolved by the government's people.
Zhou Qin was already thinking of retreating, but he didn't expect a voice to suddenly appear from the crowd: "Master Bao, I have evidence to prove that Bai Yutang is the murderer of the master!"
As soon as these words came out, Bao Zheng, who was about to go back to his residence, turned his head and saw a woman standing out from the crowd. Even though she was wearing white linen clothes, she looked very pitiful and delicate like jade.
Zhou Qin frowned and said, "Aunt Wei, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce behind Bao Zheng looked at each other. As soon as he heard the address, he knew that this was the little concubine Aunt Wei who was supposed to die but came back to life.
Aunt Wei pulled a veil to cover her face, and wiped her tears from time to time, she was distraught: "Young Master, I know I shouldn't be here, but it's about Master's business, I must make it clear."
Without waiting for Bao Zheng to speak, Aunt Wei said quietly: "On the day the master died, it was the servants who were waiting in the room."
"The master was talking to his servants at that time, when suddenly a man in white flew in from the window, and then cut the master's throat with a knife, the sky was too dark and the man in white moved too fast, I couldn't see him clearly true face."
"But!" Aunt Wei suddenly raised her head, "Because of the nightmares that the master had a while ago, he was worried that someone might harm him, so he hired a dozen guards to guard him personally, so those guards all went after the man in white."
Zhou Qin was a little stunned. He didn't know anything about what Aunt Wei said. He only knew that his father had a nightmare and injured several people, but he never heard of a few guards secretly hired.
Hearing this, Bai Yutang frowned, and finally felt that something was wrong.
Aunt Wei continued her words sharply: "But none of these guards came back!"
The people nearby felt scary when they heard it. None of the dozen or so people survived. Isn't the man in white extremely cruel?As long as I think of such a person running around in Kaifeng mansion, I can't help but shudder.
Zhan Zhao asked, "What does this have to do with Bai Yutang?"
Aunt Wei smiled: "Master Zhan, do you know where those dozens of corpses were found?"
Zhan Zhao suddenly understood that Aunt Wei must have grasped the evidence that Bai Yutang was the murderer, so she was so confident.But the short time they got along made him believe in Bai Yutang's character, so which link went wrong?
Aunt Wei said: "I have a witness. I saw with my own eyes that the servant of the Mei Manor threw the body at the mass grave at midnight! Mr. Zhan, if you don't believe me, I can find him to identify him."
"No need." Bai Yutang's cold and unique voice came out. At this moment, a line appeared in the crowd, and Bai Yutang's iconic white clothes appeared behind the crowd.
After all, it still came out, Zhan Zhao sighed in his heart.
But to everyone's surprise, this white-clothed man was cold and aloof, handsome, with no weapons on his body, only a folding fan in his hand, he did not look like a murderous demon at all.
Aunt Wei couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes when she saw Bai Yutang, she could barely cover her expression with a veil, she didn't know what was going on in her heart.
"The corpse was indeed carried out from Mei Mansion." Bai Yutang said with a cold face, "but I didn't kill the person."
Hearing this, Zhang Long couldn't help but secretly said to Zhao Hu: "Huzi, I didn't expect Bai Yutang to be a bit dumb. Even if he didn't kill the person, he said it so bluntly, it's not obvious that he will be caught. ?"
Sure enough, Aunt Wei sneered and said: "Everyone is carried out from your Mei Mansion, do you think you can turn black into white by reasoning?"
Bai Yutang's face turned even darker, what turned black into white, he was obviously white.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhan Zhao quickly stood up and said, "I don't know where the body is, and where are the witnesses?"
"The corpse is naturally in the mass grave, and the witness is in the Zhou Mansion." Aunt Wei said, "Bai Yutang is a master of martial arts. In order to prevent him from killing witnesses by force, I have arranged more than a hundred guards in the Zhou Mansion. If the government does not take down this murderer, then the Zhou government can only report this matter to the emperor, and let the emperor decide for our master!"
The atmosphere froze for a moment, Zhan Zhao looked at Zhou Qin who was at the side and asked, "What does Mr. Zhou think?"
Zhou Qin stood among the few people, looking blankly at the people on both sides, and suddenly he had become an outsider. After Zhou Shilang passed away, he was the head of the family, but at this time he let an aunt call the shots. He didn't know why.
"I……"
Aunt Wei said to him softly: "My lord, I know that you have loved reading since you were a child and ignored family affairs, but this matter is related to the death of the master. Can you leave this matter to the servants?"
Zhou Qin nodded helplessly when he heard his father's name.
Aunt Wei's words captured Zhan Zhao's scruples. On the one hand, he didn't want Kaifeng Mansion to make trouble in front of the Holy One because of this trivial matter, but on the other hand, he didn't want to slander Bai Yutang, but he couldn't think of a perfect solution at this time.
Bao Zheng watched coldly for a long time, and finally said: "That is to say, if Bai Yutang is brought to justice, will Madam Wei be willing to send the witness to Kaifeng Mansion?"
After hearing this, Zhan Zhao was anxious to say something, but suddenly understood Bao Zheng's intentions, and with a twitch of his lips, Mrs. Wei agreed, "Okay!"
Bao Zheng said: "Guard Zhan, let's do it."
Just when Mrs. Wei was waiting for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to make a move with a smile on her lips, Zhan Zhao raised his hand and slowly reached out to Bai Yutang.
However, the fighting scene that Mrs. Wei imagined did not appear. Instead, Zhan Zhao politely said to Bai Yutang: "Brother Bai, please." He stretched out his hand to lead the way!
This action immediately turned Madam Wei's face blue with anger, but Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao didn't resist at all as if they had made an agreement, and walked into the Kaifeng mansion step by step with fluttering white skirts, watching the surrounding female relatives bear I can't help being obsessed, this Bai Yutang is so handsome even when he walks!
Just like Master Bao said, Bai Yutang was forced into Kaifeng mansion voluntarily, what else can Aunt Wei say?Bao Zheng finally said: "Madam Wei, please bring the testimony!"
Mrs. Wei was out of breath, gasped for a few times before she came back to her senses, shook her sleeves hard and said, "Go home!"
Zhang Long, Zhao Huchao, and Ma Han looked at her dark and blue face at the end, and couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing. In terms of scheming, Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun are the best. Although Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are not good at this, they are both very good Smart, able to understand Lord Bao's intentions in time.
"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid Brother Bai will stay in Kaifeng Mansion for a while." Seeing the matter resolved, Zhan Zhao finally showed a smile, as if bathed in a cool breeze, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, which makes people feel comfortable.
After many twists and turns, Bai Yutang was still taken down in Kaifeng Mansion, but he was not at all unhappy, holding his fan and smiling, "I've heard that Nanxia Zhan Zhao has a unique kung fu."
Zhan Zhao: "I'm overwhelmed, brother Bai is not bad."
"A match?"
"it is good."
Zhan Zhao frowned and said coldly: "The noise in front of the Kaifeng mansion is so unreasonable!" When he spoke, he used his internal strength, and the ears of the people around him rang, and no one dared to scream anymore.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect Zhan Zhao to have such a stern and serious side, but the effect was very obvious.He didn't know when he was already standing on the tree branch outside the door, his qinggong was ghostly and silent, no one noticed that the person they were looking for was not far away.
