Assassin Yin

It has been three days since I came back from the mountain.Early in the morning, Zhan Zhao changed into a crimson official uniform and was ready to go out to patrol the streets.He himself thought that his injury was not serious, but Mr. Gongsun insisted that he stay in the mansion to rest.This made Zhan Zhao very uncomfortable, he couldn't lie down no matter what today, so he woke up very early.

In fact, this early wake up is not entirely the reason for not being able to fall asleep.Although Mr. Gongsun is very kind on weekdays, if he said that you Zhan Zhao must rest in the mansion for ten days, then you have to lie on the bed obediently counting the days with your fingers.When he first entered Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao was honest and obedient.But after a long time, this happens every time, but I can't bear it anymore.So he changed his ways to fight wits and courage with Mr. Gongsun.

However, since Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Dynasty and Ma Han followed their bosses and began to be disobedient.Mr. Gongsun also began to hold his breath and played a game of cat and mouse with these little bastards.

No, before I reached the lobby, I saw Mr. Gongsun not far away, stroking his beard and smiling at him.

Zhan Zhao turned around and left with a calm expression.

"Guard Zhan, it's early in the morning, where are we going?"

Unexpectedly, this is the first time Mr. Gongsun has caught the bag in person, and he is planning to vent his anger (?), how could he let him go so easily.Zhan Zhao felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't dare to pretend he didn't hear it.I had no choice but to stand still and wait for Mr. Gongsun to come and question me.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Gongsun had only criticized a few words, but the drum of grievances at the door suddenly rang.

So early, who is beating the drums to complain?

Zhan Zhao reacted quickly, and immediately told his subordinates to go and have a look first, Mr. Gongsun, just follow up slowly.Before the words finished, and without waiting for Mr. Gongsun's answer, he walked quickly to the door.

Mr. Gongsun was slightly startled, stroked his beard, and cursed: "...you bastard!"

When I opened the door, I saw that there were people beating drums in front of the door to complain.But she was a woman with tears in her eyes and a delicate face.When she saw Zhan Zhao coming out, she threw down the drumstick, knelt down on the ground and cried.

Nine out of ten people who beat drums and voiced their grievances in front of the Kaifeng mansion saw that the people in the mansion all looked like this.Zhan Zhao was not surprised at all, and skillfully helped the woman up.Help me into the lobby first and then speak.

It turned out that the woman was called Mrs. Zheng, and her husband's family name was Zheng.The husband is a businessman, travels around all the year round, and is rarely at home.My mother-in-law passed away early, and only my father-in-law was left to live with me at home.But the father-in-law went out a few days ago and never came back.Mrs. Zheng waited anxiously at home for a few days. Seeing that she had been missing for four or five days, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she came to report to the police early in the morning.

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and offered to go to the woman's house to inspect first.Mr. Bao also knew that Mr. Gongsun had imposed a foot restraint order on the imperial cat, but seeing the sparkle in Zhan Zhao's eyes, he couldn't bear to refute him, so he agreed.

That's good, in the end only Mr. Gongsun rolled his eyes and sighed in his heart that this kid Zhan Zhao is really becoming more and more a thief.

The woman's family lives in the north of the city, which is a bit out of the way, and many of the houses are no longer inhabited.There were only a few scattered families, and when asked one by one, they all said that they had never seen Eunuch Zheng pass by four or five days ago.There is only the last family left, living opposite Zheng's.Just as he was knocking on the door, he saw Mrs. Zheng's expression hesitant to speak.

"What's weird about this family?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's not weird..." Mrs. Zheng hesitated, as if she didn't know what to say, "It's really not an ordinary family... There is only one girl living in this house, and she is rarely seen on weekdays... It's just... only but……"

Zhan Zhao remained silent, as if waiting for her to say the next thing.

"Master Zhan... I didn't want to publicize this matter, but now that my father-in-law is missing, this matter can be regarded as a clue... I just ask you to use it if it is useful after hearing it. If it is not useful... please don't make it public."

"Ma'am, but it doesn't matter."

A look of shame and indignation appeared on Madam Zheng's face, she lowered her head, not daring to look into Zhan Zhao's clear eyes, and said in a low voice, "The girl who lives in this house... has a very close relationship with... my father-in-law."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, the word "very intimate" made two turns in his mind before he realized the meaning of the lady's words.This is an important clue. He originally wanted to investigate it carefully, but seeing that the wife of the good family didn’t want to mention it, he could only give up first—if he really found something in this courtyard, he would not be able to ask again. not too late.

Originally, I just wanted to ask this neighbor if he had seen Eunuch Zheng, but he missed this level... Zhan Zhao thought for a while, pushed the fence at the door and walked in, followed by the policemen who followed him, looking around Searching for something.The owner of this house is not at home this early in the morning.Seeing that there seemed to be doubts in Zhan Zhao's eyes, Mrs. Zheng explained that it was not uncommon for the neighbor girl across from her house to be away for three to five days.

"My lord, I found something."

Zhan Zhao looked in the direction the little policeman was pointing at.

At first glance, it is just a piece of land in the corner of this small courtyard, but the eyes of the officials have not seen anything?With just one glance, Zhan Zhao saw the clue - the soil was newly turned.Uncertain, Zhan Zhao walked to the corner in three steps and two steps, estimated the size of the newly dug land, and immediately ordered the police to dig it up.

It doesn't matter if you don't dig it, but once you dig it, a corpse is actually dug up—the dead man seems to have died only a few days ago.Seeing this, the lady of the Zheng family hurriedly stepped forward to check it out. After only one glance, her face turned ashen, and tears began to fall uncontrollably. There were many, and wept loudly.

It seems that this disappearance case has indeed turned into a murder case.

Zhan Zhao sighed, and there was a trace of depression between his brows.Just as she was about to help the lady of the Zheng family who was sitting on the ground, she heard the gate of the fence behind her being pushed suddenly. Before she could turn around, a woman's voice, half surprised and half angry, came.

"How can you enter other people's doors casually?"

For some reason, the voice sounded familiar.

Zhan Zhao turned around sharply, and the person in front of him was the herb-gathering girl who led the unconscious him down the cliff step by step, and stayed with him overnight in a hut with a bonfire.

"It's you..." Her expression was as cold as ever, "I also said... If I meet the officials again, I'm sure nothing will happen, but I don't know why you came into my house..."

Before the words fell, the lady of the Zheng family suddenly jumped up and cried and beat: "You bitch!...Why did you kill my father-in-law?! Why did you kill my father-in-law?!!"

"What are you doing?" The herb-gathering girl seemed displeased, pushed Lady Zheng away, and took two steps back in disgust.

She also seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the situation, walked to the dug out hole without saying a word, and took a look inside—her expression was as usual, although Zhan Zhao didn't get along with her much, but she also knew what she was thinking. It seldom shows on the face... It's just that this ordinary girl who picks herbs, sees the dead body but still doesn't change her face... Could there be something wrong?

"Who is this?" She asked coldly, "Why did they appear in my courtyard?"

Although Zhan Zhao didn't believe that she would kill someone, but at this moment there were many doubts... The lady of the Zheng family seemed to be frightened after being pushed, and sobbed softly but didn't dare to speak anymore.Zhan Zhao sighed, and said to the herbal girl with a paralyzed face, "The body of Eunuch Zheng's family was found in your courtyard... No matter what you have to say, let's go to Kaifeng Mansion first."

"I didn't kill anyone." The woman also had a paralyzed face, but she seemed a little sullen.

"I didn't say you killed him," Zhan Zhao sighed, but still explained in a good voice, "It's just that I went to the yamen to ask questions first, so no one will be wronged."

She took a look at Zhan Zhao: "Go to Kaifeng Mansion?"

What is this problem called?Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, but he still replied patiently: "Of course I went to Kaifeng Mansion."

"Okay... since it's Mr. Bao, then go. If it's an ordinary official... I definitely won't go."

"........."
