[75] I treat you as a brother

The hidden weapon cut through the air and flew into the night in a whirl, with a "boom", as if it hit something, and made a dull sound.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang met their gazes, and quickly followed the voice to find it.

Pulling through the messy grass, there is actually a person hiding inside.

This person was tied up with five flowers, his eyes were covered, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth strips. He looked very embarrassed.

Bai Yutang wanted to step forward to check, but Zhan Zhao raised his hand to stop him, instead he lifted his robe and squatted down.

With a flick of the scabbard, the black cloth over each other's eyes immediately slid off, and the two of them stared at each other's naked face, both stunned—this person actually recognized him, he was the shopkeeper of the Yuzhuang.

"Hmm! Mmmmm!" The shopkeeper of Yuzhuang Xu was frightened by something, the blindfold slipped down, and he was a little dazed for a while, and then he vaguely saw the person in front of him, and immediately twisted his body and kicked up, his mouth was stuffed. Stuff, huh yelling words that no one can understand.

Zhan Zhao looked at him, and smiled first: "A few days ago, Xiongtai said 'goodbye by fate', I didn't expect the fate between you and me to come so quickly."

The young man was about to go crazy, and he really didn't want to listen to what he said about fate or not in this ghost place.

He shook his head, desperately trying to get the thing out of his mouth, but unfortunately he was busy for a long time, but it was all in vain.

Zhan Zhao watched him coldly for a while, and saw that he was tired from struggling, so he raised his noble hand and helped him take out the cloth strip from his mouth.

As soon as the bondage came out, the young man howled dryly, and the two who howled almost couldn't help but stuffed the cloth back for him.

"The two guest officers... No, the two heroes, the two grandpas! Please, let my sister go!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.

"Brother, why did you say that?"

Why did they dig a grave, and a cauldron fell from the sky?

The young man cried: "Whatever you want me to say, I will tell you the truth. I just ask the two grandpas to show your respect and not hurt my little sister's life... I, I kowtow to the two grandpas!"

As he spoke, he really wriggled his body, wanting to kowtow to the two of them.

It's a pity that his body was tied up, so it was inconvenient to move. After posing for a long time, he couldn't hit it.

Zhan Zhao: "..."

He raised his hand to help the other person's shoulder: "Brother, don't be in a hurry. Let me ask you, who tied you into a rice dumpling and threw you here?"

The young man burst into tears, and blushed anxiously because he couldn't kowtow: "It's an aunt."

Zhan Zhao: "..."

What is this!

He sighed and guided patiently: "What does the other party look like? Describe it to me."

The young man was full of distress: "She was wearing black clothes, her face was covered, so she couldn't see clearly, but when she spoke, she heard a woman's voice."

Zhan Zhao subconsciously glanced at Bai Yutang, and the latter also looked over, as if thinking of something with him.

Zhan Zhao: "That woman you mentioned, does she... smell good?"

The young man was stunned, and then howled again: "At that moment, how could I care that she smells so sweet!"

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose and asked, "Then why did she arrest you, and what did she say to you?"

The young man said truthfully: "She said that I was not honest, that I was not telling the truth. She took my sister away and threatened her life. She wanted me and the two grandfathers to tell everything they knew. If there is any concealment, we will Let my sister's head fall to the ground... Hero! I beg you, don't hurt my sister! I will tell you everything!"

This is something new.

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and touched Bai Yutang with his shoulder: "What's the origin of your female snitch?"

Bai Yutang's eyelids trembled: "...it's none of my business."

Zhan Zhao smiled narrowly at him: "It's another jade token, and another clue."

Bai Yutang glared at him dissatisfied: "It's not sure who the clue will be to - I haven't asked you yet, is it a friend of yours who is secretly helping you, and you don't like me, that's why you want to hurt someone."

Zhan Zhao didn't refute, just smiled.

Bai Yutang gave a "thud" in his heart, and said in his heart: Could it be that he really got a date behind my back?

I also remembered what he said earlier about "I have a daughter-in-law", and asked me what kind of girl I like...

At that time, Bai Yutang was only concerned about not revealing himself, but he didn't think about Zhan Zhao's level at all.

Why does he have to ask what kind of girl he likes?Isn't it because he also has a goal in his heart?

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Yutang turned pale, gritted his teeth and glared at Zhan Zhao.

After Zhan Zhao finished teasing the little white mouse, he went to ask the young man a few words. When he turned around, he found that Bai Yutang was glaring at him, and his expression was as if he wanted to eat people.

Zhan Zhao: "..."

God, what's the matter?

He untied the young man, and it seemed inconvenient to take him back to the inn for questioning, so he made a temporary turn halfway and went straight to the county government office.

The county magistrate Xu Miao was rare for not cheating and cheating.

He was reading at night by candlelight, guarding a stack of thick population booklets and checking them one by one, when he heard that Mr. Zhan was visiting, he was so shocked that he almost knocked over the ink in his hand.

Waiting for Mr. Zhan to inspect the homework he had done that day, he found that Zhan Zhao was not alone. In addition to the man in white who followed him earlier, there was a young man in ragged clothes.

"Master Zhan."

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao responded, "I'll borrow your space and use it, and I'll examine someone."

Xu Miao hurriedly said: "Master Zhan, just use it, if you have any orders, just say it."

Because it was a secret interrogation, it was inconvenient to make a big fanfare, Zhan Zhao only requisitioned Xu Miao's study, except for Xu Miao and Bai Yutang, the rest of the idlers were kicked out.

At first, the shopkeeper of Yuzhuang only thought that Zhan Zhao was a man from the rivers and lakes, but now when he came to the county government, he saw that the magistrate Xu Miao was very courteous to him. , When I looked at him again, I felt a little more awe.

Xu Miao was arranged to sit next to Zhan Zhao. The interrogation was originally his job, so he didn't dare to bother Mr. Zhan. So when everyone was seated, he straightened his back and took the teacup on the table as a gavel , with a "slap", said: "Who is kneeling down?"

Common people have an instinctive fear towards officials. When they heard Xu Miao's question, they flinched immediately, bowed their heads and said, "Small man... Yu Qian."

Xu Miao asked again: "What did you commit?"

Yu Qian raised his head and secretly glanced at Zhan Zhao.

"Presumptuous!" Xu Miao slapped the table bluffing, "This county is asking you something! Who will allow you to look around!"

Yu Qian shivered in fright, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to glance around.

Zhan Zhao took a sip of tea leisurely, put the teacup lightly on the table with a "click", and raised his back hand to stop Xu Miao's disorderly questioning, leaned forward slightly, and asked Said: "What is your relationship with Mu Jin? How did the Cao family die?"
