double ring

16 Chapter 5

In Kaifeng City, the scenery remains the same.The gate of Kaifeng Mansion seems to have been repainted.The willow trees on the banks of the Bian River are thicker again.The Li Kee Restaurant at the end of Junyi Bridge has long since changed its signboard. The original location is now a grocery store. It is said that it has been open for more than a year.

Now it is less than a hundred days since the fourth anniversary of Zhan Zhao's "death".

It was past noon and the sky was bright. Although Zhan Zhao had changed his appearance, it was inconvenient to search everywhere, so he returned to his home first.At the door of the house, a huge seal is in sight.Seeing no one around, he leaped over the wall and entered.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and was in a mess.There is also a seal on the door of the house, perhaps because it is not firmly pasted and it has been a long time, the seal has been a little loose, and the upper edge hangs down weakly.Zhan Zhao raised his hand to remove it, pushed the door open and walked in, only to see that the room was full of dust and cobwebs, the furniture was crumbling, and his heart was sour, it was hard to put it into words.I heard that the house was raided at the beginning, and it was abandoned for many years. The situation before me should have been expected.

Zhan Zhao subconsciously walked a few steps in, and suddenly felt his foot stumble, when he looked down, he saw that it was a piece of clothing, which was stepped on by his left foot, but caught on the toe of his right foot.He bent down to pick it up, and gently patted the dust off.It was the bluish-white straight gown, and the cuffs on both sides had been neatly added with a pattern of the same color with cotton thread. The seam marks at the original damage were hidden under it and could no longer be seen.Adding this pattern does not look fancy, but rather elegant.I don't know how much effort she spent on these needlework.Zhan Zhao silently folded it up and put it in his carry-on bag.

After taking the clothes away, an overturned vase was revealed on the ground, and a small note was pressed under the vase, Zhan Zhao leaned over to pick it up and read it.On the note, the beautiful handwriting was vaguely recognizable - "If you want to find Ding Yuehua, you need to go to the dressing table."A bitter smile loomed on Zhan Zhao's lips.He subconsciously took a few steps in the direction of the dressing table, then moved his gaze from the dressing table to the head of the bed, then from the head of the bed to the window, and then from the window to the overturned table... Then, where is it again? coming?He stood there silently for a moment, then went straight to the closet.Half of the door hinge was broken, and the cabinet door hung crookedly.He stood in front of the closet, and said silently in his heart: "Welcome to the lady!"

Are you still so bright and lively, love to talk and laugh?

This time, where are you hiding again?Why didn't you leave a note for me?

Zhan Zhao sighed deeply, put the burden aside casually, opened the door of the cupboard, walked in with a short body, leaned against the inner wall of the cupboard and sat with eyes closed, wondering what he was thinking.

In the bundle next to it, the jade pendant wrapped in a handkerchief trembled restlessly.

Bai Wei sniffed, her voice mournful: "Oh, so sad, so pitiful! My little heart is about to break!"

Qingmei glared at her fiercely: "You didn't provoke it! You feel uncomfortable now, you are really 'self-inflicted'!"

Bai Wei was not convinced: "Objectively speaking, don't you think I'm already interesting enough? Some people, with a few strokes, are immediately immortal. I've never been able to do this cruel thing!"

Qingmei dismissed it: "You, you are in the shape of thin water and long streams! A blunt knife cuts flesh!"

"It is true that Lu Yao knows horsepower, and Sui Han tunes in when he sees it. Besides, don't you think he is particularly eye-catching when he is in pain?"

The two of them were chatting here, and I don't know if Zhan Zhao who was sitting alone in the closet heard it.

Zhan Zhao came out of the house when it was getting late and the moon was shining brightly.First, he found a random shop to eat a bowl of noodles, and then sneaked into Kaifeng mansion under the cover of night.

The defense of the mansion was not satisfactory, Zhan Zhao secretly shook his head.In fact, if the four of them can't take care of them, why not choose another guard?Although I can deeply understand the love and affection of the adults, I can't help but sigh in the end, and I only sigh that I have not been able to share his worries for many years.Fortunately, Kaifeng Mansion is not as rumored outside, wishing for killers every day and assassins every night.If so, even if there are a few more Zhan Zhaos, they will be too busy to deal with them.

When I looked through the window outside the study, I saw that both the adults and the husband were full of hair and tired.In addition to the Four Treasures of the Study and file files on the desk, there is also a river lantern on the corner of the desk, which is small and exquisite, and very conspicuous.

Zhan Zhao knows that he is still accused of crimes, if he shows up to meet him, it will not only shock the adults, but also make him embarrassed, so why not leave this useful body and do your best.Therefore, although his heart was surging, he felt as if he had passed away, but he did not disturb the whole family at all.

He listened quietly for a while, and he really knew a lot of things.Are adults and husbands often discussing these things, or did they happen to be mentioned today?In the past, when dealing with cases, sometimes it was unavoidable to sneak out of other people's windows to listen to the news. Fortunately, there must be gains every time, and those important things are always just heard by his ears.But this time, it's no exception.

In the past few years, the King of Xiangyang has continued to operate secretly. He privately built a skyscraper, with many organs inside, and the League Dan Lanpu is hidden inside.Bai Yutang still dislikes the entanglements of the officialdom and has no intention of becoming an official, but since Zhan Zhao is gone, he will often come to Kaifeng Mansion to help.Regarding the incident in Xiangyang, not only did it involve the peace of the world, but also because he wanted to avenge Zhan Zhao's grievances, Bai Yutang did not care about gains or losses, and did his best to help.He will go to Xiangyang in a few days, aiming to work with Master Yan Cha Sanyan to conquer Chongxiao Tower and seize the alliance letter as physical evidence.It is hard to find clues about Zhan Zhao's deception. Although Mr. Bao wanted to reverse the case, he has not been able to do so.It is said that after the emperor calmed down, thinking about Zhan Huwei's usual behavior, he became suspicious again, and regretted that the case had not been thoroughly investigated and was handled too hastily;Ding Yuehua didn't know where to go, and there was no news of her. From Kaifeng Mansion to Mohua Village, no trace of her was found again.

Zhan Zhao understood what he heard, and immediately had a calculation in his heart.Although he heard doubts about his own injustice case, it is not the top priority right now; all the affairs in Xiangyang are unfinished, but there are generally countermeasures and arrangements.Only Yuehua really worried him.How is she safe now?How are you?Do I still have a chance to make it up to her?But the crowd is vast and there are no clues. Kaifeng Mansion and Ding's family have searched for four years but have not found it. Now with his own strength, how should he find it?

He quietly left the government office, found a secluded place, took out Xue'er's hairpin, and called her over.

"Do you really need my help?"

"Miss Lao Xueer, can you help me find Yuehua?"

"Looking for her?" Xue'er looked like she was killing chickens with a sledgehammer, "Didn't you call me when you have important matters!"

"For Yu Zhanzhao, this matter is the top priority. Where did she go, I have no clue now, the world is so big, if Zhanzhao mortal power, I don't know when I can find her. The girl has supernatural powers ..."

"Well, yes!" Because she was thinking about "Zhu Jue" and Prince Charming, she agreed very readily, "Just wait a moment, it will be fine soon!"

Xue'er took out another ice mirror and muttered something in her mouth. The mirror was like a mist at first, but after a while it became clear again, and a figure appeared in it.

"Yuehua! Yuehua?" Zhan Zhao couldn't help calling out.But the man in the mirror couldn't hear it at all.Zhan Zhao raised his head and turned to Xue'er: "Where is Yuehua?"

"I can only tell that this is Zhongmou County."

"Zhongmou County?" Zhan Zhao was overjoyed—she was so close.

"You are still worried that she will go all out for you, look at how well she is doing now!"

"He's doing well, so I'm at ease." Zhan Zhao was somewhat relieved to see that although Yuehua had lost weight compared to before, she still looked calm and composed, "Zhongmou has more than ten towns under his jurisdiction, so I don't know where she lives. .Can you..."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you find it!"

"Thank you Miss Xue'er!"

Zhan Zhao resigned from Xue'er, and was thinking about Yuehua along the way, but without thinking, he subconsciously led him along with his footsteps.Passing by the banks of the Bian River, I suddenly saw lights in the water.He suddenly realized that today was Zhongyuan.Humanity is that the gates of ghosts are opened in the middle of July, and ghosts from the underworld can return to the yang world to visit their relatives, and the world lights up river lanterns to illuminate their way.He suddenly felt that he seemed to be one of them.Before he knew it, he walked outside the palace wall.Entering the palace at night is naturally not a difficult task for Zhan Zhao.Now that you're here, why don't you just take a look inside?

Zhan Zhao was thinking quietly when he suddenly felt movement in the package.

"Zhan Zhao, what are you doing? You came here, wanting to enter the palace and throw yourself into a trap? That matter has already been closed, so there's no need for it?" It was Qing Mei.

"No. I want to go and see Eunuch Liu. After all, I didn't make it clear to my lord at the beginning. I am afraid that he has left many hidden dangers in the past few years."

When Zhan Zhao was at home in the afternoon, how desolate he was, but he was still worried about blaming himself for the emperor who wronged him...Qing Mei was really moved, she was worrying about how Zhan Zhao's affairs would end, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration Now: "Zhan Zhao, are you going to meet this Liu Zheng?"

Zhan Zhao nodded: "I just want to test this person."

Qingmei urged: "He must have been very clear about what happened back then. I just don't know what expression he will have if he sees Zhan Huwei's wronged soul now. Today happens to be the Ghost Festival."

When Zhan Zhao heard the words, he became narrow-minded for a moment, and when he was lurking outside Liu Zheng's gate, he quietly removed his mask.
