Ambush from all sides

Chonglian just came in from the door, while Qiu Langxing was standing inside the counter, holding the handle of the drawer with the words "poppy shell" written on it with his right hand.Just now when he held the copper ring and pulled it out, there was a slight sound of the iron sheath being buckled inside.At that time, Zhan Hao was standing in the lobby a little further back, and with that sound, a circle of iron pillars shot out from the floor around him and the ceiling above his head, and with a "bang", he was firmly trapped inside. .

Looking at Qiu Langxing again at this time, he lay shivering on the counter, his face was about to cry.

The subordinates who were checking the medicinal materials in the warehouse and attic ran out one after another when they heard the movement.In the end, they saw the strange situation of the owner of the Zhan family being locked in an iron cage, and everyone was dumbfounded, shocked and speechless.Under everyone's attention, Qiu Langxing rolled vigorously to the front of the cage, hugged an iron pillar weeping, and said in a low voice: "Old, old, old, old! My hands are cheap, I'm sorry for you!"

Zhan Hao squinted his eyes and walked in front of him, squatted down across the cage, put away the paper fan in his hand, and knocked on his cheap head leisurely, saying grimly: "It's not enough to succeed, it's more than failure... I really should send you to Brother Zheng and let you study for a month or two, otherwise you don’t know what it means to assess the situation."

"I was wrong!" Qiu Langxing reached in and grabbed Zhan Hao's wrist, crying and howling, a few tears were forced out of his eyes: "I, I, I, I will definitely change in the future! I, I, I, I will not go to his place!"

Zhan Hao stared at him for a while, feeling like he was grinding his teeth.They just came to the Lin's pharmacy at night to find something that could be used as evidence. Originally, he was standing on the floor of the lobby, his feet creaking, and he wondered where the trigger was. Over there, Qiu Langxing pulled out the drawer cheaply.The moment the iron rod rushed out, Zhan Hao's body instinctively wanted to fly out, but it was too late and he was locked up.

Although he was mentally prepared early in the morning, he did not expect to fall into Lin Zhihuan's scheme.Zhan Hao squinted at Qiu Langxing impatiently, and pushed his face away with disgust.He patted his clothes, stood up with his hands behind his back, and stood quietly in the middle of the cage for a while without saying a word.The big guys looked at me and you, and didn't know what to do for a while.On the other hand, Chong Lian walked forward with a blank expression, and slowly circled around the cage.

"Chonglian, with your posture, are you looking at me as a plaything?" Zhan Hao raised his eyes, his expression a little speechless.Chonglian stopped in front of him and rolled her eyes, and said disdainfully: "What's so good about you? I'm looking to see if there are any gaps in this cage. There should be a door to break it."

"Not busy," Zhan Hao waved his sleeves indifferently, and sat down cross-legged, "You guys continue to check the situation around you, and report to me if there is anything unusual."

Hearing what he said, the others basically knew what they were doing, so they continued to do their own thing.Zhan Hao sat cross-legged in the middle of the cage quietly, his eyes were fixed with emotion, as if he was practicing martial arts.Chong Lian looked at her master quietly, and saw a faint bulge under his white jade-like skin, like a groundhog, slowly sliding along the meridian of the neck to the temple.

The meridians seem to be stagnant, the transmission of the nerves is also lazy, and the senses are not as sharp as before.Zhan Hao tried to condense his body, trying to feel the position of the mechanism under his body, but found that it was more difficult than before.Frustrated, he couldn't help sighing faintly, and raised his eyelids a little tiredly.

Outside the window of the pharmacy, the summer night sky in the south of the Yangtze River was gloomy and gloomy. There was no wind, and the whole night presented a strange silence.Zhan Hao frowned and stared out the window, suddenly, the eyelid of his right eye throbbed.At the same time, he felt a violent twitch in his chest, which almost made him unable to take a breath, and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing his body trembling violently, Chong Lian suddenly tensed up: "Master! What's wrong with you?"

"Bi Lizhu——" Zhan Hao breathed heavily, clutching the clothes around his heart with his fingers, and uttered these words heavily.When Chong Lian and Qiu Langxing heard this, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment, thinking what is Bi Lizhu?But immediately, they heard Zhan Hao say a few more words: "—— Cen Bie."

"Cen, don't let anything happen."

At this time, a bearded man who was inspecting the warehouse ran out from behind, stood by the cage and said, "Boss, I checked in the warehouse, and there are only some common medicinal materials, as well as in the attic, but my pine marten smells of blood." " As he said, a purple-brown slender beast emerged from the man's shoulder, with small round ears, which looked very similar to a weasel. It was the spirit beast pine marten that came down from Changbai Mountain.

Hearing the sound, Zhan Hao slowly raised his head, just now, all three of them noticed bloodshot eyes appearing in Zhan Hao's eyes!At this time, the expression on his face was extremely serious and serious, his thick eyebrows were deeply frowned, and the veins on his hands on his knees were also bulging: "There is a dark wall in the warehouse, and the location should be under this iron cage. You Find someone to smash the wall, there must be something inside."

The man nodded and retreated, and after a while the three of them heard his voice calling his subordinates.Chong Lian looked over there with dark eyes, then turned back after a while, and looked at Zhan Hao who had a heavy aura all over him.If she heard correctly just now, the young master said something happened to the dead leaves.But Dead Leaf is in Changzhou, and there was no news just now, how did he know?But Chong Lian didn't care to think about it, this young master has always been talking about it, but he has never made a mistake, so he can do whatever he says.

"In that case, young master, do you need me to go back?" Chong Lian leaned over to grab an iron rod and asked him in a low voice.Zhan Hao narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, and said to himself, "I also wondered what price he wanted from me, so it turned out to be such a price..."

Lin Zhihuan, do you really think I'm a helpless businessman?Afraid that I would rush back to Changzhou to prevent you from attacking Cen Bie, so you asked someone to make such a cage to trap me... just relying on such a broken cage?Do you think you can trap me?Oh, what a joke!

Zhan Hao laughed back in anger, pulled his lips into a sneer, then stood up with a sullen face, tapped his fingers along the iron rod twice, and then touched an iron rod on the upper left.He raised his head, looked coldly at the part where the iron rod came out of the ceiling, held the cold pole tightly with his palm, and suddenly lifted his breath from his abdominal cavity-in an instant, a hot current trembled from his heart to his entire arm .

Afterwards, Chong Lian and Qiu Langxing saw that the entire floor upstairs was dragged down by Zhan Hao along the joint of the iron rod.For a moment, flying sawdust and bricks scattered all over their heads, and the mechanism mixed with it fell to the ground, immediately collapsing its shape.In the dimness, there was also the scream of people falling upstairs.

This pulling movement was very loud, and some sounds began to sound from the silent street outside.A dog raised by an unknown family barked uncomfortably, and human voices could be faintly heard from the opposite street.

"Master..." Chong Lian looked at the Rakshasa-like Zhan Hao standing in the middle of the broken cage, covered in ashes, and felt a long-lost uneasiness in his heart.Without saying a word, Zhan Hao threw the mechanism connected to half of the pillars on the ground, turned around and walked out of the pillar cage.Under the warehouse, the man hurried out with a dark face, with his excited pine marten on his shoulder: "Boss! There really is a dark room in the warehouse, and there are several bones in it, almost mummified! I see Those corpses were dressed in rags, I don’t know if they decayed later, or they were like this from the beginning.”

"Well, I see." Zhan Hao sullenly walked out of the pharmacy with his hands behind his back in big strides.Chong Lian stood there in depression for a while, then raised her legs to follow.Qiu Langxing stood alone in the ruins of the lobby, at a loss, and was about to ask Zhan Hao what to do next. At this time, the uncle who had already flown to Changzhou finally gave instructions from a distance: "Qiu Hao Long Xing! You have people tidy up this place, and keep the useful things! Now go back with me and tie up Zhang Ling, and return to Changzhou tonight!"

"Ah?" Qiu Langxing wept bitterly, thinking to himself, why is it that I clean up the mess every time?But thinking of his humble behavior just now, if Zhan Hao is kind enough to keep him... Hey, let's do things well.So he had no choice but to call someone to give orders one by one. Seeing that his subordinates had almost tidied up the place, he touched his nose resentfully, and ran back in a desperate manner.

In the exhibition house, Yu Ke and Quan Jing had already been called up, and they were bridle the horse beside the carriage.Zhan Hao was arranging things in the lobby, Yuan He and Ming Ying helped him collect the intelligence and account books and receipts that he found in Suzhou these days one by one, and put them carefully into the box.Now he no longer has the lazy and leisurely look of the past, but is doing all these things without saying a word, as if he is calm and unhurried.

But everyone around him knew that he was different at this time, completely different from before.

"Young Master, did Brother Cen have an accident?" Yuan He reached out and handed him the small box, frowning and asking in a low voice worriedly.Zhan Hao took it over without raising his head: "I'm not sure yet." He said, he put the small box containing the receipts into his bag, and raised his hand to call Chong Lian who was on standby in the yard.

"After a while, you take people back as soon as possible, and tell Qiu Langxing to read the nervous order, and don't let him run away." After speaking, he turned to Yuan He: "If Uncle Zhong comes back, you should take him with you immediately." People are escorting him back to Changzhou, so he must be careful on the way.”

"Zhan Hao!" At this time, a person's shout and footsteps suddenly came from outside the lobby, Zhan Hao, Yuan He and the others turned their heads and saw that it was Li Fei who came running over.He was supposed to be sleeping, but he got up when he heard the movement, he was in a hurry, and he didn't even put on his clothes.Zhan Hao saw him rushing in front of him, his hair was disheveled, and his wide-eyed eyes were faintly puzzled and flustered: "...Are you going back to Changzhou?"

Zhan Hao remained silent and did not answer him, but the silent emotion in his eyes had already given the answer.Li looked at him very anxiously, and after a while he opened his mouth expectantly: "I, I will go back too, I..."

"You stay," Zhan Hao interrupted him in a deep voice, his eyes still silent, "Buzhuang has just started, and you and Master Pei will stay in Suzhou. Changzhou Mansion... don't go back in the future, anyway. Nothing to look forward to."

Hearing his words, Li Fei's expression of forbearance and hope instantly turned into despair.He has lost a lot of weight recently, his complexion is pale, his cheeks are a little sunken, how can he still look like a handsome young man in the past?Zhan Hao looked at him coldly, his face showed no sign of softening.Li blinked his eyes twice empty-handedly, and finally dropped his head.

At this time, from the side yard, several women in black dragged the heavily bound Zhang Ling over. Shumei still had splints and bandages on her hands.She stepped forward and said, "Master, he has been given medicine and won't wake up for a while, should we drag him into the carriage?"

Zhan Hao took a cold look at Zhang Zhifu who was lying on the ground like a pig, and nodded slightly.

Seeing that Zhang Ling had been thrown into the carriage, Zhan Hao stood there expressionlessly for a while, then turned and walked out without saying a word.Chong Lian and Yuan He watched his slender back quickly disappear into the night. A moment later, a long whistle sounded outside the courtyard gate, followed by the sound of horseshoes from the direction of the stable.Li looked up very distraught, and saw Zhan Hao turning over outside the courtyard gate and riding on the gray and black horse at home. The figure in the green shirt flashed and disappeared behind the wall in an instant.

In the darkness, there was a deep silence all around.

The air is very turbid, like a stagnant thick fog, with the smell of mud and damp water vapor, making it hard to breathe.

——But it is much better than the beginning.

Dead Leaf didn't know how to describe that feeling, that... indescribable feeling.

He knew that he had inhaled poisonous smoke, probably the same one from Yuehua Building last time.He knew that this thing was overbearing and vicious, so in a semi-conscious state, he had been subconsciously controlling himself, accumulating energy with luck, trying to force that gradually eroding feeling out of his body.

But he couldn't make it in the end.

Dead Leaf only remembered that after the painful resistance stage passed, a blurred sense of dizziness began to occupy his entire sanity.He knew that he was bound, but in a trance, the rope on his body seemed to be untied.He was submerged in water, although he had no gills, he could breathe.He felt that he had no resistance at all, swimming like a fish on the bottom of the water.He swam into a certain deep and long underwater cave. In the cave, there was a bright star curtain like a galaxy.

Suffocating, dizzying.His eyes were so gorgeous that he couldn't even feel the weight of his physical body... The pleasure of being relieved was unimaginable.

However, after waking up from the dream, the cruel reality will only become more desperate against the background of the beautiful illusion.

When Dead Leaf saw clearly where he was, he realized that he had a momentary nostalgia for the illusion created by the poison.

In front of him was a dark cave with a torch hanging on the wall, and the surrounding was damp and quiet.Dead Leaf tried to move, but found that he was pinned to the cave wall by several iron hoops, and the clothes on his back were already wet from the water dripping from the wall.His stomach was empty, very hungry, very thirsty... According to the degree of hunger, he should have not eaten for more than eight hours.The sun may be shining brightly now outside this dark cavern.

He was captured by Lin Zhihuan and Nian Yuqing.

Recalling what happened last night, Dead Leaf himself didn't know much about it, he just remembered that he was lying on the roof, watching the two men make love together, and that Lin Zhihuan called Zhan Hao's name again and again.As for how he was discovered by them and then fell to the ground in an inescapable way, he was also very puzzled.When did the other party poison himself?Could it be the pungent scent of incense when you first walked into the yard?

At this moment, Dead Leaf heard the sound of slow footsteps coming from somewhere behind her.Unhurried, pacing sounds, the person who came seemed to have no internal strength, and his footsteps were rather flimsy and soft - it should be Lin Zhihuan.

Thinking of this person, Withered Ye's back molars clenched immediately - he couldn't help himself not to hate Lin Zhihuan.There is not much reason for this dislike. To be honest, Dead Leaf didn't like him from the first time we met.Later, he did all kinds of unpleasant things again, imprisoning Fang Qiu, framing Zhan Hao, and shouting Zhan Hao's name when he was having sex with men... It's really disgusting and disgusting!

While thinking, Lin Zhihuan had slowly walked in front of him.Withered Ye raised her eyes with a dark face, her expression was cold and depressed.But Lin Zhihuan's face showed weakness, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes were tired and relaxed, as if he had been up all night.He stared at the dead leaves in silence, almost completely ignoring the murderous look in the killer's eyes, and just looked at him with nothing to do with himself.

"Dead leaves," Lin Zhihuan lowered his eyes, his eyes resting on the thin and tough waist of the withered leaves, and uttered a few syllables coldly, "What do you think of the taste of poppies and amaryllis?"

He raised his eyes, the tails of his slightly raised eyes were red, and he was charming in his laziness, staring at the dead leaves with burning eyes.The dead leaf was disgusted by his eyes, if it hadn't been for the restraint of hands and feet, it would have punched him.

"When did you poison me?"

Listening to his repressed question, Lin Zhihuan narrowed his eyes and smiled lazily: "I've been waiting for you, since the moment you returned to Changzhou." He said, While blinking slowly, his chin was slightly lifted, and he looked at the dead leaves with lowered eyes: "There is poisonous incense burning under the tiles, just waiting for you to lie on it... Do you know that it is a mixture of several herbs? "

"There are lycoris, poppies, marijuana, rosemary, flyweed, sage tail... and more, you probably haven't heard of them. Look, I'm waiting for you with such a big battle, Jianghu No. [-] A killer, you can’t be neglected anyway, right?” As he spoke, Lin Zhihuan slowly took out a brown pill exuding a strange fragrance from his waist, brought it close to the dead leaf, and said in a low voice: “As for this, although there is no The previous poisonous smoke was so strong, but it was enough to serve you..."

He stretched out his hand with a sneer, pinching the dead leaf's chin, trying to open his mouth and feed the poison.Withered leaves have walked the world for so many years, where did they experience such humiliation?Annoyed, he opened his mouth and bit, and clamped Lin Zhihuan's fingers.Lin Zhihuan screamed in pain with a sharp throat: "Ah!" At the same time, his fingers flicked in his mouth, and the pill he was holding rolled down to the throat of the dead leaf.

The dead leaves bit his two fingers firmly, and with a violent shake of his head, Lin Zhihuan's knuckles were dislocated.Withered Leaf vented her anger, and didn't dare to argue with him, she immediately let go and coughed out the pill that had slipped down her throat.Lin Zhihuan fell to the ground, holding his hands and howling in pain, his voice was hoarse and hoarse, his thin cheeks were as pale as a dead man.

"Zhihuan!" Hearing the movement, Nian Yuqing quickly rushed in from the outside, knelt down and hugged Lin Zhihuan, who was twitching in pain, into his arms.He probably waited outside the whole time, thinking that the hands and feet of the dead leaves were bound, no matter how hard they were, they would not be able to get out of the sky, but he didn't expect to bite off Lin Zhihuan's fingers with a sharp mouth.

He lowered his head nervously to inspect the injury of the person in his arms, turned his head angrily for a while, and glared at the dead leaves viciously.Withered Ye looked down at him, smirked, and mocked coldly, "You deserve it!"

"Dead leaves!" Nian Yuqing's eagle eyes flushed faintly from his anger, and a murderous look appeared on his face: "Don't be too arrogant, today I will be the knife and you will be the fish! Zhihuan will keep you to attract Zhan Hao, but I don't care about that! I can kill you right now, believe it or not?!"

On the official road from Suzhou Mansion to Changzhou Mansion, a blue shadow flies past like a horse, with the night sky rolling with thick clouds above the head, and the dry and rough sandy ground under the feet.

There is silence among the mountains and forests, and the occasional night bird chirps once or twice, which makes this stifling night even more restless.In the distant sky, there were one or two faint flashes of fire, and then there was a dull bang—heavy rain was coming.

Zhan Hao lowered his body and leaned on the bumpy horseback, holding his breath and staring at the road ahead, his long black hair tangled in the wind.He has not ridden a horse for a long time, and the last time he rode on the road when he came from Changzhou.I remember that Dead Leaf didn't kiss him very much at that time, and she had to think about it for a long time when she waved him to come to him, probably because she was scared by herself.

Foxes are suspicious, so Zhan Hao has been taking steps step by step.But unexpectedly, today... probably an hour ago, the little fox was caught by a trap set by others.

Cen Bie probably got injured, or was drugged, otherwise, at that moment in Suzhou, he couldn't have felt the vain feeling after his whole body twitched.Not only the body, but even the mind became dizzy and intoxicated, and for a while, he couldn't even distinguish the situation in front of him.This feeling, rather than being drugged, is more like...

In Zhan Hao's mind, the word that has been appearing frequently recently flashed clearly, and immediately, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the eyes under the eyebrows became more and more gloomy.Thinking of a possible outcome, he couldn't help but pinch the horse's belly, urging the horse to run out faster.

Those guys better not do stupid things!If Lin Zhihuan really dared to give Cen Bie that kind of medicine, then he would never be able to live in peace in this life!

A flash of lightning flashed down in the distant sky, and then, the dull thunder rolled over the dark clouds.Heavy rain poured down from the sky, and the gravel road that was flying with smoke and dust was instantly wet by the rain.Zhan Hao lowered his body a bit, his eyes were still looking straight ahead of the road, and he didn't blink at all because of the rain.

After a sharp turn ahead, there is Wuxi City. After passing Wuxi, there is only half an hour left.Zhan Hao held the rein tightly, and couldn't help urging the horse in a low voice.The horse was pulled by the reins, and at the sharp turn, it braked severely for a few steps, and then kicked its heels and galloped straight to the right.On the road ahead, amidst the rain, the outline of the gate of Wuxi City could already be seen faintly.At this moment, Zhan Hao noticed a vague figure riding a white horse as if jumping out of the dark doorway.When I ran closer, I realized it was Zheng Dong.

Zheng Dong recognized Zhan Hao a few feet away, and the horse didn't stop, but turned back in a hurry.When Zhan Hao ran to his side, his horse had also turned the corner, so they moved forward together.

"Young master," Zheng Dong was riding on the horse, his brows were heavy, and he turned his face to look at Zhan Hao, "Brother Cen disappeared in Yuliang Mountain, Lin Zhihuan, Nian Yuqing and Fang Qiu also disappeared." His expression was a little guilty, and he finished speaking After speaking, his eyes immediately drooped, as if waiting to be dealt with.

Zhan Hao listened to his words, but stared straight ahead from beginning to end, expressionless: "Are only the four of them missing?"

"The people from the Shadow Gate also disappeared, only some servant girls and servants were left. Originally, there were two people guarding Ma Qingyun's place, but they disappeared."

When Zhan Hao heard this, the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.He frowned slightly, leaned on the horse and pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "...Go back and talk about it first."

Two horses, one gray and one white, galloped along the official road and disappeared in the rain in an instant.

When we returned to the exhibition house, it was still raining heavily.In the middle of the night, the Changzhou Mansion was completely dark under the rain, only Zhan's house was brightly lit, and the sound of a woman screaming and crying could be heard faintly inside the high wall.Zhan Hao got off his horse, frowned and walked into the gate, his face was sombre: "Who is crying inside?"

"Ma Qingyun, we brought her back, as well as Dai Yue. Ma Qingyun is already crazy, but she seems to know something." Zheng Dong followed closely behind Zhan Hao, and the two walked to the west courtyard one after the other.

Ji Tang and Min Wei were both there, seeing Zhan Hao walking in dripping wet, his first reaction was to look for a towel.Zhan Hao waved his hand to signal no need, but asked in a calm voice, "Where's Dai Yue?"

"She is next to the woodshed. She just fell into an addiction. We tied her up, and she has passed away now."

Zhan Hao stood in front of Ji Tang, standing still with an uncertain expression, as if he was thinking about something.At this time, Ma Qingyun's insane giggle came from the opposite room again, giggling, giggling, with a frenzied mood, it was particularly creepy to hear on a rainy night.After laughing, she started yelling something loudly again, as if calling for help, shouting, "Get away! Don't touch me!"

Zhan Hao frowned, walked along the corridor to the door of Ma Qingyun's room, and pushed the door open with his hand.

In the dimly lit room, only one candlestick flickered slightly.Zhan Hao saw Ma Qingyun sitting on the ground with disheveled hair and crumpled clothes, leaning against the bed.Her whole back was arched, her back was facing Zhan Hao, and her shoulders were shrugging with a low smile.Zhan Hao looked at her without saying a word, his heart, which has always been reclusive, suddenly felt a little dazed.Ma Qingyun in front of her, seemed to be the somewhat coquettish and domineering rich lady yesterday, holding his hand and staring at her almond-shaped eyes, acting like a baby.But now, at this moment, she has become a crazy lunatic who is spurned and used by her husband.

There are some things that cannot be prevaricated by "making good fortune and tricking people", because the roads are made by people.

It is impossible to talk about what happened in places he didn't care about these years, because things are already like this.

When looking at Ma Qingyun, for a moment, Zhan Hao faintly felt the indifference deeply rooted in his heart.He has been flaunting himself the sophistication of the world, flaunting that he is considerate to the people around him, but today the facts are in front of him, and he has to admit that hundreds of years of reincarnation of fate have consumed his original "human" Too much nature.

For some, he has become a monster.Before he knew it, he had become someone else's nightmare, someone's demon.

It rained heavily until the next day.

At a quarter o'clock in the morning, Zhan Hao sat quietly in the room with dead leaves in the east courtyard.On the expressionless face, a pair of eyes were lowered, and his hand was slowly stroking Xiaojiao'er's back.

After Qiu Langxing and Chong Lian arrived home last night, Zhan Hao took them to explore Yuliang Mountain.Because of the rain, the area around the Lin Mansion was muddy, and some traces that should have been washed away.Zheng Dong said that the people he posted outside the Lin Mansion did not see Lin Zhihuan and the others coming out yesterday, which meant that there was a tunnel under the Lin Mansion.But the rain was too heavy, and he couldn't use his skills to listen to the sound and check the trend of the underground cavity.In desperation, he had to return without success.

After returning home, he changed into clean clothes and walked to the east courtyard without knowing it.On the bed of the dead leaves, several kittens were still huddled together, meowing and chirping, and Xiao Jiaoer, acting like a boss, took over the pillow of the dead leaves and nestled on it.Taking a closer look, Zhan Hao found that this guy actually dragged a piece of clothes under his body with a dead leaf, his little head was tucked into the skirt of his clothes, he was sleeping very comfortably, unconscious.

Amidst the many worries, Zhan Hao couldn't help showing a slightly bitter smile on his face.He touched Xiaojiao's small body, and thought: You have his clothes, and you can sleep on your pillow every day, but I lost his whole body.

Originally, I wanted to protect him and pamper him.

Xiao Jiaoer nestled on his lap, probably feeling uncomfortable, and stretched out her claws to grab the hem of his clothes.Zhan Hao came back to his senses and pinched its little ears.It was raining outside the window, and his heart was hanging, but he still didn't know what to do.

"Young master!" Outside the door, Zheng Dong suddenly ran in hastily: "Uncle Zhong is back, and he brought people from the government!"

Zhan Hao raised his head calmly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.He put Xiao Jiaoer back on the pillow, stood up calmly, and ordered as he walked out: "Ask Chonglian to bring Zhang Ling out, and remember to take the prepared confession."

In the Zhanjia lobby, Uncle Zhong was leaning back on the chair with a tired face. A middle-aged man with white hair was sitting beside him. He was thin and dressed in a black official uniform. He was quietly drinking a cup of tea with his eyes closed. .

Zhan Hao strode into the lobby, saw that person, his eyes paused first, then he raised his hand and clenched his fist with some surprise, and said, "Which official did Zhan want to say, it turned out to be Qiu Shaoqing."

The other party raised his falcon-like eyes, put down the teacup, stood up and returned a salute: "I heard what Mr. Zhong said, and the guard Zhan wanted to come in person, but it's a pity that the treason case in Kaifeng has not yet ended. Next Originally in Kaifeng Mansion as an official of the Dali Temple to supervise the case, but since the case is nearing completion and I am ignorant, I can't help much, so I followed Mr. Zhong to come here."

This middle-aged man with all white hair is none other than Qiu Shaobai, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.He became famous at a young age, and he and Qiu Langxing are still in the same family.The grandfathers of the two are cousins, but in this generation, Qiu Shaobai's family is sparsely populated, and the elders are gone, and the contact between the two families has gradually decreased.

Just after exchanging pleasantries here, Chonglian dragged Zhang Ling over there.She walked up to Qiu Shaobai, gave him a confession before speaking, and then said coolly: "Prefect Zhang's confession is all on it, and it has been marked. Lord Qiu, take a closer look. Uncle and nephew can be convicted of some crimes, quickly convict, so that I can follow you to raid his Lin family."

Qiu Shaobai saw that the girl's eyebrows and eyes were full of vigor and heroism, so he couldn't help but take a second look.Then look at these people around, these girls and boys, Yuan He Minwei and Zheng Dongquanjing, which one is not sharp-eyed and composed?Qiu Shaobai paused in his heart, always feeling that he had entered a remarkable place.

After reading the confession silently, Qiu Shaobai turned his face to look at Zhang Lingji who was trembling on the ground: "This confession, prefect Zhang, are you telling the truth?"

"I'm an official, I'm an official..." Zhang Ling was trembling, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Chonglian.Chonglian pulled her lips condescendingly at him, as if "if you dare to deny it, I'll kill you with one knife".Zhang Ling saw that his whole body went limp, and he collapsed on the ground, crying and crying: "It's true, it's all true! This official is greedy for profit and committed a big mistake. Please ask Qiu Shaoqing to see that this official confessed voluntarily." For the sake of this, please speak more kind words to the lower officials, and please forgive me!"

Hearing what she said, Chong Lian sneered again, but this time she didn't bother to talk to him, anyway, he had already pleaded guilty, and their goal had been achieved.Now she is waiting for Lin Zhihuan to be convicted of the crime, get the official order, and then go and copy his Lin family.

"Looking at it this way," Qiu Shaobai said in a low voice while holding the piece of paper beside him, "Lin Zhihuan is now suspected of murdering someone, Yu Yonglin from Suzhou, and those in the underground warehouse of the pharmacy mummy."

He raised his head and looked at Zhan Hao with consideration in his eyes: "But Boss Zhan, you said that Lin Zhihuan made poison to harm people, and even used people to test the medicine to kill him. Is there any evidence for this?"

Zhan Hao sat quietly in the seat opposite, his eyes calmly met Qiu Shaobai's, and the corner of his mouth slowly curled into a cold smile: "This is simple. You take people to Santiao Street Outside the Yuehua Building, the incense burning there is all added with banned drugs from Lin Zhihuan's pharmacy."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked calmly at Chonglian who was standing aside.Chong Lian also squinted her eyes, looked at him briefly, and then glanced away indifferently.

At noon, the Yuehua Tower faded away from the confusion and obscenity at night, and transformed into a magnificent restaurant.At three o'clock, it was lunch time, and it was still raining, but there were still many diners coming to Yuehualou for dinner.When Wei Jing, the prefect of Changzhou, brought Qiu Shaobai there, there were even a few workshop owners lining up in the rain to complain.Qiu Shaobai listened intently, and heard that they were complaining about why there were always so many people in Yuehua Building, and they couldn't find a place to go in for a meal.

Zhan Hao stood beside Qiu Shaobai, holding two smooth Yuhua stones with a nonchalant expression, twisting and twisting.Inside the building, Gu Yuehua saw him and Wei Zhifu standing outside with a white-haired man, and quickly left the guests behind to greet him: "Ouch! Master Wei, Boss Zhan, what wind brought you two here?" After finishing speaking He stared at Qiu Shaobai with wide eyes and praised softly, "Who is this lord, he looks so heroic!"

Qiu Shaobai raised his hand and clenched his fist loosely, nodded and said: "Young Minister of Dali Temple, Qiu Shaobai."

Upon hearing this name, Gu Yuehua's right eyelid couldn't stop jumping.Zhan Hao clearly saw a flash of panic in her eyes, but immediately concealed it, with a charming smile on his face, he greeted them as he welcomed them in, "Oh, it turned out to be Qiu Shaoqing, who has admired his name for a long time!
