[75] I treat you as a brother

Coming to the Cao Mansion again, Zhan Zhao is obviously much more familiar with the road than yesterday.

When he and Bai Yutang came yesterday, they paid more attention to the first scene of the dead person. Although they also looked around in other rooms, they were not careful after all.

So when he came back today, Zhan Zhao simply turned the other rooms inside out.

It doesn't matter this time, he actually found something.

It was a satin furoshiki, stuffed with gold and silver jewelry bulging inside.In addition, there are several women's dresses of excellent workmanship.

Such a large bag of things, the gold and silver alone is not like ordinary servants can get.In addition to the materials and styles of those dresses, Zhan Zhao made a comparison and confirmed that these things belonged to the new wife of the Cao family.

The burden was not hidden in Mrs. Cao's room, but Zhan Zhao pulled it out from under a tree in the backyard near the back door.

The things are hidden so secretly, if it wasn't for his better eyesight and poor hands, he probably wouldn't be lucky enough to find them.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help narrowing his eyes: It's not appropriate to be a good merchant's wife, where is she going to prepare such a big bag?

And the time when this burden appeared was a bit too coincidental.

She didn't leave early or late, and she just happened to be in time for the old lady's birthday banquet and hid her burden at the back door.

... It's a little difficult for Zhan Zhao not to doubt her.

"So this Mrs. Cao knew that something would happen on the day of the birthday party?" Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin.

If not, things are a little unexplainable.

But since Mrs. Cao got the letter in advance, and the burden and money were prepared in advance, how could she still not be able to avoid death in the end?

Zhan Zhao put away the burden, slung it on his shoulder casually, turned his steps, and came to the front hall of Cao's house where he met Brother Shu yesterday.

With previous experience, Zhan Zhao is already mentally prepared to come here again.He took a deep breath, and tried his best to endure the choking breath that kept rushing towards him, before he approached the table, looking for a handy tool to flip through the food on it, but he saw it lying on the side first, The fat and fat mouse brother who has died.

Zhan Zhao hurried over and lifted the fat mouse up.But it was found that the mouse brother had been dead for a long time, and his limbs were all stiff.

He was shocked again: when they came yesterday, the mouse brother was obviously still alive and kicking, how could he die here just one day later?

"Could it be that the murderer worried that it would reveal the truth and killed it brutally?" Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, shaking his head, shaking this unrealistic guess out of his mind, "If this is the case, then this murderer is too bold, It's too relaxing."

With the burden and the dead mouse, Zhan Zhao made another trip to the county government office.

Seeing that early in the morning, County Magistrate Xu had already abandoned the warm bed, put on work clothes and started to work—although he lay on the corner for a while, he didn't see this mediocre official actually solve any problem, but at any rate He had done enough, so he didn't even show his body, turned a corner and went back, hoping to wait for Bai Yutang to discuss the issue of this burden and Brother Mouse.

Walking to the inn, before going in, Bai Fu was waiting outside the door.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly walked a few steps: "Your fifth master told you to wait here?"

Bai Fu smiled and nodded: "Fifth Master sent a villain to wait here and told you to go and find him."

Neither of them delayed, Bai Fu led the way, and they chatted while walking.

Zhan Zhao: "He's still in Anzhuang? What did you find out?"

Bai Fu lowered his hands and bowed: "I just asked something, you can ask Fifth Master for the specifics later, the villain doesn't quite understand."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Didn't he tell me not to search again yesterday, why did he send you to find me as soon as I got any clues today?"

Bai Fu apologized and said with a smile: "It's not the first day you know Wu Ye. As for his inconsistency, don't you understand? Wu Ye said that he won't let you take care of it, it's probably because he thinks the situation is dangerous and worried It hurts you."

Zhan Zhao folded his hands behind his back, and laughed at himself: "Your fifth master has troubled me a lot—since we met, I took care of him in everything, let him in everything, and treated him closer than my own brother. A family, regardless of each other, but he is so daring, it is really chilling."

Bai Fu hurriedly explained to his master: "Master Zhan misunderstood Master Wu. He has a cold face and a warm heart. He looks tepid, but he actually cares about you very much. Yesterday he knew that he had offended you, and half-heartedly Su didn't sleep well, and went to look for you again this morning, and because he didn't know how to apologize to you, he condescended to ask the villain."

Only then did Zhan Zhao understand why the sharp-toothed Bai Yutang turned into a white mouse uncharacteristically this morning, and ran over to act like a baby to himself: "So it was your idea."

Thinking of the bullying Bai Yutang in the morning, Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing first, and then gave Bai Fu a thumbs up: "This is a good idea, in the future, give him more ideas like this." You can also take the opportunity to bully someone a few more times.

The two of them were led by Bai Fu, and turned around to a pawnshop.

This pawn shop looks like a normal one on the outside, but there is a very unnoticeable small door at the back.

Push open the door, there is a cave inside, the place is not big, but it has all internal organs.

This is Zhan Zhao's first visit to his Anzhuang, and everything he sees is surprising.

However, Bai Fu is already a frequent visitor here, and introduced to Zhan Zhao with a smile: "On the surface, this is an ordinary pawn shop, and the daily business is managed by the fifth master. Behind it is a secret village, with a special intelligence network and Guest Room - If any friend in the Jianghu is desperate and comes to ask for help, Fifth Master will arrange for the other party to stay here and provide some convenience. Walk along this road until the end, and there is a meeting room, which is necessary for daily discussions It is a place where important guests are secretly received. Further down, there is a dungeon. If anyone who is not good-looking commits a crime, let them go down and have a good reflection."

While talking, the two had already walked outside the chamber.

"Fifth Master is inside, Master Zhan just go in."

Zhan Zhao nodded, pushed the door open and entered the room.

There are no lights in the house, only a few beams of light squeeze in through the cracks in the windows.

Bai Yutang happened to be sitting in front of the window, and the few beams of light hit his body without falling, turning him into a noble young man who was shining all over.

Looking at Bai Yutang in the light, Zhan Zhao was momentarily at a loss for words, for the very first time Mr. Zhan, who can speak well, was stuck.

"The poison you mentioned earlier has some clues." Bai Yutang tapped on the armrest of the chair, forcing Zhan Zhao's consciousness back, "Before we talk about the business, let me show you something."

After finishing speaking, two people came out from the dark room.

The leading one was a half-grown child with ragged clothes and a slightly dull expression.Behind him followed a young man, not as weak as a weak crown, with very delicate features.

The boy nodded slightly upon receiving Bai Yutang's instruction, then twirled his fingers in front of the child's eyes and snapped them.

As soon as the voice fell, the dull child's eyes flashed suddenly, and then a strange singing voice slowly flowed out of his mouth.
