Murder in downtown

Second, Zhao Jun had just returned to the mansion from the morning court, when he was called "Master Zhao!" at the gate of the mansion.

Zhao Jun turned his head and saw a man crawling out from the dark corner of the wall, his clothes were ragged, and his body was covered in dirt and mud.His hair was gray, and his old face was so dirty that it was difficult to distinguish his true colors.

The man shouted "Master Zhao..." with a hoarse voice while struggling to climb up, not afraid of being trampled by the horse's hoof.

Zhao Jun reined in the horse, and the tall horse backed up a few steps with a long hiss.Sitting on the horse and looking at it for a while, he recognized it: "It turns out that it is the... boss of the Wangfu."

Zhao Junshi couldn't remember the surname of the former boss of the palace, so he immediately jumped off the horse, walked up to him and squatted down: "I haven't seen you for a while, how come you look like this."

The head of the royal residence shrank back and smiled obsequiously: "Old man Zheng has fallen into a mess now, his body is too dirty, be careful, my lord... Be careful not to get your hands dirty..."

Zhao Jun withdrew his hand, looked at the obsequious smile on the other side's face, and frowned involuntarily.He asked again: "Why do you want to look like this if you don't give some silver taels?"

Old man Zheng sighed: "Don't mention it, those silver bills were taken away by gangsters..."

Zhao Jun stood up: "I will give you a sum of money last time, since I come next time, I will follow you into the mansion."

Old man Zheng kowtowed overjoyed immediately: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, thank you, Mr. Zhao..."

Zhao Jun waved his hand and called a few servants to carry the dirty and smelly old man with a broken leg into the general's mansion.

Manager Liu of the General's Mansion immediately took out a thin box from the tent, which contained several bank notes.Zhao Jun brought them all, including 6000 taels that should be used by Manager Zheng for the rest of his life.

Old man Zheng took it immediately, but smiled flatteringly: "I have nothing to rely on in my old life, and I can only live on some silver for the rest of my life..."

Mr. Liu next to him squinted at him, and old man Zheng was frightened, so he immediately shut up.

Zhao Jun showed no expression: "Take another 2000 taels over here."

Manager Liu was rather reluctant, but he had never disobeyed his master since becoming the manager.Only reluctantly ran to get it.

With the 8000 taels in hand, Old Man Zheng held the banknote tightly in his hand.

Zhao Jun: "I'm afraid it's not safe enough to carry the pen money on your body. At least, send a car and send a few people to take old man Zheng to the place he wants to go. Does old man Zheng have any children and grandchildren to join him?"

Old man Zheng immediately complained about his grievances. He recognized his godson and tried to curry favor when he was the manager.If you don't do it now, those beasts will turn their faces and deny you...

Zhao Jun coughed, and Old Man Zheng shut up immediately.

Zhao Jun: "Send Old Dad Zheng out, first book an inn and hire a good doctor, leave two or three people to guard, and when the leg injury is almost healed, send Old Dad Zheng to the place he wants to go..."

Old man Zheng was overjoyed, he struggled to climb down, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master Zhao is very kind and virtuous, I will burn incense for Mr. Zhao when I settle down in my old age, and wish him a long life..."

Zhao Jun coughed and walked away.The old man Zheng kowtowed incessantly, Manager Liu hurriedly pulled him to stop him from flattering him endlessly, and then went out to make arrangements for seeing off the guests...

When Zhao Jun came back from the morning court, the hour of the hour was drawing to a close, and he had a meal as usual.Ever since we got married, I have been eating alone. Whenever I think of the beauty hidden deep in the garden, a slight smile appears on the corner of my mouth, and I call the servants to personally name a few dishes, which are Su Yu's favorite food on weekdays.The slave took the order and rushed to the kitchen, urging the cooks to do it quickly.

Zhao Jun picked up a few volumes of documents from the case and looked at them. After a while, there were shadows of beauties everywhere between the lines.Counting that the meal for the two of them should be ready, they didn't deal with official business, and didn't even change their clothes, just walked into the garden in court clothes, with a smile on their faces all the time.

Not wanting to walk half the distance, the wife of the main house suddenly led a group of servants and servants out of the flowers, blocking a smiling general on the road.

Zhao Jun couldn't hide his smile at first, but when he suddenly saw his wife, he couldn't help but freeze, the smile on his face disappeared.

Geli was naturally very unhappy, so she could only bear the unhappiness in her heart and asked him with a smile what was so happy about it?Of course Zhao Jun would not tell the truth, he was naturally happy when someone in the court prepared to give him a good horse that cost a lot of money after hesitating for a while.

Geli was dubious, and just asked, "Zhao Lang really loves horses." Zhao Jun nodded casually, and Geli bowed her head in silence, secretly remembering it in her heart.

The husband and wife stood opposite each other, and the time was silent.

Just at that moment, a few maids came slowly with food boxes, (when they couldn't find the manager in charge, they went to the garden first.) They bowed their knees in front of the general and his wife, "According to Mr. Zhao's intention, the kitchen is specially prepared. Make the amount for two people, just ready."

Geli was delighted immediately: "Does Zhao Lang want to have dinner with Geli?"

Zhao Jun was helpless, only his head.

There was joy in Geli's eyes, and her face was slightly red.Lowering his head, he whispered, "There is a small building nearby..."

Zhao Jun couldn't evade it, thinking that Xiaoyu had a few confidantes who were taking care of him carefully, and the case was full of inner thoughts and fresh fruits would be exchanged.won't go hungry.At that moment, only the head agreed, and followed Geli to the little mansion.

The eating habit of Yuezi country puts a lot of spices, which has a strong taste.Princess Geli married far away in the imperial capital, so she is really not used to the food nearby, and the dishes she eats every day are specially prepared by her own cook.This is the first time I have a meal with my husband. Wine stuffed duck, steamed fish, stewed chicken with mushrooms, glutinous rice and lotus root, water shield vegetable soup... are all light and delicious home-cooked dishes, which fill the table.Princess Geli, who originally had a strong taste, didn't take seriously some "tasteless" light dishes.

Geli just asked, "Are these Zhao Lang's favorite food?"

Zhao Jun hesitated a little and nodded.Geli suddenly became happy, took a bowl of green rice, and ate it very deliciously.

Seeing how he was enjoying his meal, Zhao Jun suddenly sighed.

Geli raised her head, and Zhao Jun looked at her with a heavy tone, "Geri, I'm sorry."

Ge Li tried hard to swallow the "tasteless" steamed fish, and her hand holding the ivory chopsticks trembled slightly.

Zhao Jun couldn't bear it all of a sudden. On Geli's cheeks, the marks of being slapped hadn't faded, and even thick top-quality makeup couldn't completely cover it up.Zhao Jun stretched out his hand unconsciously, stroked his face, and said softly, "Does it still hurt?"

The servants who waited behind them all held their breath.The room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Geli raised her head, tears were shining in her beautiful green eyes, and she smiled: "Zhao Lang, are you feeling distressed?"

Zhao Jun stroked his face gently with his rough hands, and sighed: "Ying'er is really just a righteous sister whom she recognizes. Even though she is a righteous sister, she is just like her own sister. It's fine if you don't recognize her, but let those slaves Beating people. Zhao Jun's sister was actually beaten, how could it not make people angry?"

Geli put down the tooth chopsticks and the silver bowl.Holding back tears, he forced a smile and said, "It's superstitious. To let the servants beat my sister-in-law, Zhao Lang deserved it."

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "It's true, how could it be possible? How could it be possible to love someone? Zhao Jun has always only loved beautiful young men."

Geli's face suddenly turned pale.

Zhao Jun hardened his heart, slowly retracted his hands, picked up a piece of glutinous rice and lotus root, and put it in the silver bowl opposite, persuading: "Your younger ones like to eat some sweets. The glutinous rice and lotus root tastes sweet, and it is very delicious. It's authentic..."

Geli flicked her sleeves, and the silver bowl containing a piece of glutinous rice and lotus root was blown to the ground.

Geli stood up, and after a long while, Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Lang, no matter whether you were a lover before or a lover, the husband you are now will always have, and will completely get rid of some bad habits!"

Geli led the servants of Yuezi Kingdom and left in a huff.

Zhao Jun smiled bitterly and said, "What a conceited person." Picking up a piece of glutinous rice and lotus root, he ate it by himself, chewed it slowly, and said with a smile: "His temper seems to be a little bit bigger, but people like him actually like it." Eat sweet things that people like to eat."

Although there are only a few chopsticks for the dishes on the table, they have been eaten by others after all, so naturally they cannot be eaten with Xiaoyu.Zhao Jun was thinking about whether to take Xiaoyu there to see Xiaoyu or wait until noon for the two of them to have a good meal, when he saw the gray hair poking at the door.Zhao Jun caught sight of it, waved his hand, and immediately a servant rushed to call Manager Liu in at the door.

Director Liu has long been waiting outside, and knows that his lord and his wife are having dinner, but there has never been one in the general's mansion.Naturally, I didn't dare to vent the atmosphere when I stood outside.After finally waiting for his wife to lead the group of servants to leave, he poked his head around and ran in after getting the command from the adults.

Surrounded by confidantes, Manager Liu still lowered his voice: "Old man Zheng is dead."

Zhao Jun had a look of surprise on his face: "Didn't you just leave the door just now, and let a few guards follow... What happened?"

Manager Liu: "Come help the masked man, and chop old man Zheng without saying a word in the busy city. Those people are very skilled, and all three of our guards were injured. Later, a guard surnamed Zhang had sharp eyes and recognized the masked man. The people of Prince Yan's Palace..."

Zhao Jun thought for a while, then murmured: "Why does King Yan insist...to kill them all?"

Could it be that King Yan really has some deep hatred for Xiaoyu?

Xiaoyu was so tight-lipped last night that he refused to tell him why he went to kill King Yan.Of course, if he didn't, Zhao Jun would also find out.It's just a matter of time.

Zhao Jun made up his mind and asked, "Where is the corpse?"

Manager Liu: "All the yamen of the criminal department know that old man Zheng came out of our mansion, and he used to be the head of the royal mansion. The body is placed in the downtown market and no one dares to touch it, waiting for the adults to judge..."

Zhao Jun knew the reason, he and Yan Wang were not on good terms, which was well known throughout the court.The big and small officials in the Ministry of Punishment naturally retracted their heads into their shells when they encountered problems.

Zhao Jun got up and led the crowd out of the house.

The bustling city is bustling with crowds of people pointing at it.

Puma rushed to him, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed immediately.

The smell of blood rushed to his face immediately.

General Manager Zheng, who was flattering and laughing at the General's Mansion two hours ago, is now lying on the ground with blood and flesh all over his body. There are more than a dozen criss-crossing stab wounds on his body. Become indistinguishable.Only the eyes are still intact, staring at Kong, as if the hatred in the eyes is dying.

There were two stab wounds on the chest, which were cut quite deeply.

The few banknotes were still half hidden in the bloody clothes, but most of them had been cut in two, and the remaining two were soaked bright red in the blood.

Sitting on the horse, Zhao Jun's expression changed a little.

The injured guard came over and said, "Those people hacked an old man, first from the place where it didn't matter, until he was dying, and then he chopped his chest..."

Zhao Jun gritted his teeth and burst out a sentence: "It's such a vicious move!"

He didn't go any further.King Yan sent someone to do such a vicious job, I'm afraid it has something to do with Xiaoyu.

If it wasn't for Manager Zheng, Zhao Jun wouldn't have found Xiaoyu so quickly.

Could it be that King Yan knew about this and sent people to kill the former head of his mansion in the downtown area?

Zhao Jun didn't hesitate any longer, and rode his horse towards King Yan's mansion.
