Consort Zhanzhao

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally the princess made the final decision, let's not talk about anything else, and put the two murderers of Meng Chun aside for the time being, let Zhang Dati come to ask first.

After all, if he was an agent of the Kaifeng Mansion, things would be much easier to handle here - except for Bai Yutang of course.

Without further ado, Bai Yutang went to bring Zhang Da over again, but it was much more polite than last time pushing and shoving Zhang Da by the collar.

As soon as Zhang Da came, he saw the token on the table and saluted: "Princess, my subordinate is Wu Desi's secret agent Zhang Dian, and he is here to investigate the case at Master Bao's request."

Before Zhao Bijia said anything, Bai Yutang couldn't help but asked first, "Why didn't you say it earlier..." His tone was very sad.

Zhang Da turned his head and looked at him, he really saw from head to toe, especially the fourth-grade guard uniform on Bai Yutang, he looked very carefully.

"I said cut and gestured." Although Zhang Da looked calm, everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

Zhao Bijia couldn't help lighting a wax for Bai Yutang in her heart. She went late, and neither heard Zhang Da say the incision nor saw him make a gesture. Of course, she couldn't recognize the incision gesture when she saw it.

But there is one thing, she only went there after listening to Zhan Zhao's questioning, so she must have had a good time, at this time Bai Yutang was still threatening Zhang Da, so it's no wonder that Zhang Da was so angry.

"He is eager to make contributions," Yang He'an explained slowly, and then said: "When I asked you earlier, they said that you have been working in this post station for more than ten years. I'm afraid I misunderstood."

Zhao Bijia knew that she might be speaking for herself. After all, if she hadn't interrupted her and focused her suspicious eyes on the two people who found the body first, it is estimated that they would not pay too much attention to Zhang Da and his identity as a secret agent. It is not so easy to expose.

But... Looking at it this way, the two people standing guard on the east corner building in front said that they fell asleep at night and didn't see whether the Meng family came out or not... Are they also with him?

Bai Yutang swallowed his saliva, a little speechless, but could only stare at him helplessly, what does it mean to be eager for meritorious service?

"I just came here..." Bai Yutang explained weakly.

The secret agent's identity was exposed and he couldn't stay any longer. It's a pity that this identity has been in business for several years. Zhang Da sighed. He wanted to bear it, but he was a little unwilling to see the fourth-rank official uniform on Bai Yutang, so he gritted his teeth and replied. , "You will be able to achieve the fourth grade just after you come?"

Bai Yutang looked up at him, and simply smashed the jar, "I saved the princess, and this credit is enough to be sealed to the fourth rank."

Yang and An Bai glanced at him, obviously wanting to blame the princess.Yang He'an coughed and said, "This one is Bai Yutang, the famous Chinchilla in Jianghu." He paused for a while, and refrained from mentioning the name of the Five Righteous Men in the Sky Island, but when mentioning Chinchilla, it was all about Chinchilla. "It's been less than a month since I entered Kaifeng Mansion."

Zhang Da was still a bit resentful, but after all, everyone in this room was of a higher grade than him, so he just muttered, "People from the Jianghu."

The oh long sound was so delicate that Bai Yutang's ears burned.

Zhao Bijia looked at Bai Yutang with a half-smile, and thought to himself that you are ashamed to say that you saved the princess?So he comforted Zhang Dao: "Others didn't recognize them all, even the Big Four—" Zhao Bijia smiled when he almost said the four pillars, "He doesn't even know the difference between Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Dynasty, Ma Han. "

Bai Yutang kept his head down, but he couldn't help but raise his head when he heard the princess slander her like this. Who said I couldn't tell the difference?Just knowing that the princess was looking for a reason for him, she just hummed.

Speaking of this, it was the princess who explained it herself, so Zhang Da couldn’t hold it any longer, so he laughed a few times to show his identity again, “I’ll teach you one, and the one who is the most careless is Ma Han.”

Bai Yutang didn't feel anything yet, Zhan Zhao nodded first, and then said to Bai Yutang, "Go back and ask Mr. Gongsun to tell you about it."

Zhao Bijia glanced at Zhan Zhao again when she heard this, and said to herself that you two are not the same.

Yang He'an stepped forward to pour a glass of water for Zhang Da, and said, "At that time, I felt that this method of death was a bit strange. It's pressing people with heavy objects..." He squinted his eyes, as if nostalgic, "I also did it back then. He almost entered Wu De Division."

Being able to serve the princess by her side, and the people in charge of the Wu De Department are all eunuchs, Zhang Da, as Wu De Department's spy, naturally knows it, so he can't help but have some admiration for Yang and An at the moment.

"It was indeed my hand." Zhang Da admitted.

Bai Yutang originally wanted to ask him why he didn't tell him if he knew about it earlier, but seeing that Zhang Da was about to tell what was going on here, he gritted his teeth and stopped.

But Yang He'an said it himself, "Although I think it's different, it's just that there are not enough manpower right now, and none of them are special judges in the government office. He kept silent."

Zhang Da smiled and said very politely: "You are right."

He picked up his teacup and drank two sips of hot water, then took another look at Bai Yutang, and then said: "In the past two years, Mr. Bao has found that some memorials and secret letters sent to the capital are suspected of being leaked, although they are not important. news, but it shows that the people who did such things have disobedience, so they issued an order for me to investigate."

He paused for a moment, omitting the specific details of the investigation, and said: "I originally suspected that there were handymen who could go to each house to pack things, and there were a few people in the kitchen, especially Meng Chun, who usually delivered meals on weekdays. It's her, plus she's a half-grown girl, so it's easier for people to relax their vigilance." As he spoke, he glanced at the princess carefully, and said: "Besides, the postmen who come and go are all old men, and they are willing to have a girl Dangle in front of your eyes."

Zhao Bijia didn't care about this, Zhang Dafei finished this sentence quickly, and said: "However, according to the leaked content of the secret letter, there are also information about the postman's coming and going, changing shifts, etc., except for some people who Meng Chun served, and because I stayed overnight at the post station for various reasons, and the letter of the postman was also leaked."

A bit of resentment appeared on Zhang Da's face, "Xiang Da is a postman, and he is in charge of changing the postman. This letter can also stay in his hands overnight, which is a good opportunity to transcribe it!" Zhang Da spat, He said again: "How can such guards steal from themselves and pretend to be officials of the court, worthy of His Majesty's grace!"

"... Later, when the evidence was found, I went to Xiang Da's house that night."

"Wait a minute!" Zhan Zhao suddenly interrupted Zhang Da, "Since you have evidence, why don't you hand it over to your superiors?"

Zhao Bijia also wanted to ask this question.

Zhang Da glanced at him, and said: "Things have changed... The Meng family is about to leave, and a new cook has already been found."

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and said nothing, Zhao Bijia just felt that what he said was not the truth, but since the incisions were aligned and Wu Desi's badge, he even knew that Ma Han was heartless...

Zhang Da said again: "I made several wounds on his body that could lead to Meng Chun, then crushed him to death with a heavy object, and faked the wounds on his neck with poisonous snake's teeth," he said without hesitation what he had done. He said it all over again, "the traces of the window, the clothes in the closet, and the bolt was put on the door from the outside after coming out. It's just that time is running out, and there is no time to find the secret letter."

Zhang Da looked at the people present again, his momentum was a little weaker, and he said: "I didn't think... I didn't think you would be able to find out. Later, you released fake news. I was afraid that the secret letter would fall into other people's hands, so I sent it to you." I went again, but I didn't expect to be caught by this Bai Wuye." He glanced at Bai Yutang.

Seeing Bai Yutang's appearance, Zhao Bijia only thought it was funny, and felt that although he was a bit arrogant and domineering, his temper of not changing his name and surname was really...cute.

After Zhang Da finished speaking, he sighed again, and silently stopped talking.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "Actually, it may not be possible to expose it." He glanced at Bai Yutang and said, "For tonight's plan, the people in the turrets are all our own people. Besides, it's late at night, so I just ask him to secretly I will send you back."

Bai Yutang heard that he could be saved, nodded hurriedly, followed Zhan Zhao's intentions and said, "No one saw him when I captured him." After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't we go and interrogate those two men who killed Meng Chun? Hitting east and west, deceiving people's eyes and ears."

Zhao Bijia also said: "Everyone is dead, everyone's attention must be on that, no one will pay attention to you."

Zhang Da hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "It's just that I'm going to the capital to report to Mr. Bao face to face. Of course, it's best not to expose."

Zhao Bijia picked up the fake secret letter and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, anyway, I am the oldest now, and you are the postman, take this and go on the road."

Zhang Dao thanked him, and Bai Yutang carried him out again.

Zhan Zhao also left together, saying that the two murderers were going to be interrogated. Zhao Bijia lasted all night. Now that the matter is almost settled, they have done everything they can, and the rest is the business of Mr. Bao. He also yawned immediately and said he was going to sleep.

Yang He'an ordered people to fetch hot water, hesitated for a moment and said: "Using heavy objects to press people... Although it can kill people, it is a common method of torture. Zhang Daxing may have asked something. And... Wu Desi, can you not report it?" Those who are directly tortured must be of high grade."

Zhao Bijia was stunned, she was a little sleepy at first, but after listening to Yang Hean's words, she regained her energy, pondered for a moment and said, "This matter...do you think the sign in his hand is real?"

Yang and An nodded, "It's absolutely true, a brand made of high-quality iron wood."

"That's fine." Zhao Bijia said, "I'm afraid what he asked is a secret, so it's not easy to tell it to outsiders. But..." She thought about it carefully: "You send an urgent letter at [-] miles away. Go to Bianliang, and send two more guards with him when he sets off tomorrow, just say I'm worried."

Yang and An agreed, and seeing that Zhao Bijia was dozing off to the point of tears, they blew out the candles and went outside.

Zhao Bijia slept until the afternoon and woke up feeling refreshed. As soon as she got dressed, she heard Yang He'an's voice outside, "The Governor of Jingzhao Mansion is here, please see the princess."

After Zhao Bijia finished packing, when she came out, she saw the prefect who was nearly fifty years old.

But... I always feel that I am used to seeing Mr. Bao, and I am not used to such a white Fu Yin.

The governor of Jingzhao Mansion saluted Zhao Bijia, and Zhao Bijia also politely said a few words to him, saying: "The two people beside me are the subordinates of Mr. Bao of Kaifeng Mansion. This time I am going on a tour, and I asked my father to come here. .”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are both good-looking talents, and the governor of Jingzhao Mansion can also see that both of them are wearing fourth-rank official uniforms, so he smiled and said: "I'm afraid this one is the guard Zhan who has the title of royal cat? I don't know this one..."

Zhao Bijia smiled and said, "This one's surname is Bai."

Although the fact that Bai Yutang rescued the princess cannot be ostentatiously flaunted, but the fact that Kaifeng Mansion has a fourth-rank guard... In short, all the adults who are also governors of the mansion are very jealous.

This Governor of Jingzhao Mansion was no exception, but besides being jealous, he also felt that the princess was accompanied by two fourth-rank guards, and that——he glanced at Yang and An, they were also awesome.

Yang and An are wearing the sixth-rank eunuch costumes today, so they are naturally outstanding, standing in front of the two guards is not inferior at all.

The Governor of Jingzhao Mansion became more and more respectful.

Zhao Bijia said: "This post station is really not peaceful. First the post officer died, and then the cook was killed. I thought it would take a few days for you to arrive, so I asked the two of them first."

After finishing speaking, Zhan Zhao handed him a stack of written testimonies, as well as the testimonies of Yang and An who acted as coauthors.

Fu Yin scanned it quickly, and sighed: "As expected of Master Bao's subordinates, this testimony is very comprehensive, without any loopholes. With this, I am afraid that the case can be directly judged."

Zhao Bijia smiled, thinking that in addition to the credits of the two of them, this testimony was also written by a spy of Wu Desi and a eunuch who almost took charge of Wu Desi. possible.

Zhao Bijia added: "There is one more thing. When the postman died, there happened to be a letter to be delivered. The original postman was seriously ill and couldn't move. I originally found the oldest postman and planned to let him go, but the case It’s not over yet, and I dare not let him leave.”

"It doesn't matter." Fu Yin didn't see any doubts, and said with a smile immediately: "Princess, be careful, you can let me go after asking the next official."

Zhao Bijia said again: "I've been nesting in this station for several days, and I can finally leave."

Fu Yin knew that this meant seeing off the guests, so he immediately got up and said goodbye.

After sending Fu Yin out, several people looked at each other, Zhao Bijia said: "Pack up your things, leave tomorrow morning!" Then he looked at the sky, "The sky is finally clear."

It is just after noon now, and the sun is high in the sky. Although it is the hottest time, but there are many trees in the mountains, and it is autumn again, there is no other feeling besides the comfort of the sun.

From the corner of his eye, Zhan Zhao took a look at Yang He'an, who had gone out to make arrangements, and all kinds of busy people, and said very righteously: "Princess went to bed too late last night, and she only woke up at noon today, so it's better to go out for a walk, to refresh your mind. "

Although Zhao Bijia felt that this was a date, she was a bit unwilling to be told so solemnly by him, so she also imitated his tone, pretending to be serious: "What Zhan Huwei said is very true, follow me to the back mountain Let's go, we can sleep peacefully at night when we are tired from climbing the mountain."

This is how the two began their first date without Yang and An.

Although the back mountain does not allow outsiders to enter, but guarding such a big mountain, the postmen will often go up to hunt game and pick up vegetables such as mountain delicacies, so a small road almost two people wide is stepped on the mountain. .

"Why don't you leave?" The two stood at the front of the road, and Zhao Bijia couldn't help asking when he looked at Zhan Zhao who had a dignified face, who was obviously thinking about something.

"I'm thinking..." Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, "Should I let you go ahead or let you go behind? It's too dangerous to ask you to lead the way. If I let you go behind, what should I do if I accidentally fall?"

Zhao Bijia was tender and affectionate for a while, and was about to ask shyly if you still can't take care of me, when Zhan Zhao said again: "Let's go ahead." As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Bijia's height in a very cryptic manner.

It's a pity that Zhao Bijia grew up in the palace. No matter if anyone dares to bully her, she knows all kinds of eyes. At that moment, she feels aggrieved, because she feels that I can't stop your sight even before I walk...

What about Yang and An!

"Let's go?" Seeing that she was not moving, Zhan Zhao reminded her again and turned sideways.

Zhao Bijia was a bit irritable, and he walked a little deliberately recklessly, and when he passed by, he snorted fiercely at him, but the road was not wide in the first place, and Zhao Bijia was very imposing and rushed forward regardless. The distance with Zhan Zhao is a bit closer.

How close is it?Her shoulder brushed against his chest.

Then Zhao Bijia saw him fly to the tree with his body and chest.

Very well, this routine has not changed, so last night's Zhan Zhao was her illusion?As soon as Zhao Bijia thought about it, she heard the voices of Yang and An not far away, "Where is Guard Zhan planning to take the princess~?"

Zhan Zhao jumped down from the tree, and said with a smile, "I've been bored in the yard for several days, go to the waterfall on the mountain to see it."

Zhao Bijia sneered.

Yang He'an looked Zhan Zhao up and down, "I'm sorry to trouble Zhan Zhao's guards to clear the way, you'd better go to the front, I'm at ease."

Zhao Bijia couldn't tell what mood she was in right now, but she was angry and funny, followed Zhan Zhao, and the group of three continued to walk up the mountain, and they came to the waterfall after a while.

The scenery of this place is good, maybe people used to come here often, the mountain wall was drilled, and a small pavilion was built in mid-air, facing the rushing waterfall.

Zhao Bijia fell in love with it as soon as she saw it, and went to the gazebo without saying a word. Just looking at it this way, Han Zhang, Xu Qing, Bai Yutang, Ding Yuehua, and even Shao Yong, the chief guard, all came not far away.

She glanced back at Yang and An, only to see that he said without hesitation: "I'm leaving tomorrow, I'll ask them to come up and hunt for some game to eat at night, and I will wash the dust for Mr. Fu Yin, and the postmen have also been hungry for a long time." pause."

Explaining so much is obviously a guilty conscience, and it can't cover up the fact that you are planning to cast a wide net to disturb the wild mandarin ducks.

Wait a minute... why do you say you are a wild mandarin duck?

"Boss Yang is bothering you." Zhan Zhao's voice was mixed with the sound of running water, no emotion could be heard, but the three words, Boss Yang... It was the first time I heard him say it.

Zhao Bijia's eyelids twitched, and the next sentence became more and more familiar.

"My subordinate Zhan Zhao is a fourth-rank imperial guard with swords. He works in the Kaifeng Mansion. I have heard for a long time that Director Yang is very good at martial arts. I would like to ask Director Yang to give me some pointers." Zhan Zhao had a kind smile on his face, and he was not suspected of retaliation at all.

Zhao Bijia looked at the two helplessly, "Go to the side of the fight, don't block the scenery."

So when Bai Yutang and others came up, what they saw was such a beautiful picture.

The princess is blowing the wind against the waterfall at the front, and the two martial arts masters at the back are fighting back and forth in the sound of the water. It is quite touching to think about it.

Although Zhao Bijia didn't expect the date to become like this at all, but a meal of authentic wild game at night can barely make up for the loss.She went to bed early, woke up the next morning, and heard Yang and An say: "Master Bao sent a messenger."

When Zhao Bijia came out, he saw a few people sitting around together outside. Bai Yutang looked at the letter on the table innocently, his eyes were a little... well, dull, as if his last hope had all been shattered.

Zhao Bijia couldn't help but focus on the letter on the table, and Yang and An handed the letter to Zhao Bijia.

After removing the content she wasn't interested in, as well as greetings and confessions, etc., the only thing that made Bai Yutang what he is now is only one sentence.

"...the post station has a postman named Zhang Da, who is over forty years old. You can ask him for help if necessary..."

This is really another colleague, Zhao Bijia looked at Bai Yutang distressedly, counting how many days he has been in Kaifeng Mansion?I'm afraid it's not even half a month.

What a pity, how will you live in the future, especially according to Yang He'an's speculation, and Master Bao's letter, you can't guess that this handyman whose pseudonym is Zhang Da and real name is Zhang Dian, is afraid of his position in the Wu De Department It is not low.

Zhan Zhao stepped forward and patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, and said earnestly, "You'll learn a lot from it."

Han Zhang also comforted: "Don't be so impulsive in the future, huh?"

Xu Qing sighed, "You are not too young."

Because I was delayed at the post station for a few days, the itinerary was very tight when I went on the road again, almost always rushing according to the rhythm of sunrise and sunset.

Even Xu Qing, who was not optimistic about the princess at the beginning, and even had a little tentative thoughts, now admires the princess very much.

I really didn't expect that she would be able to persevere on the road for seven or eight hours a day, and this kid Zhan Zhao didn't know where his luck came from.

After another three days, everyone escaped from the mountain and arrived at Chengdu Mansion smoothly.

The Governor of Chengdu led a group of ministers to wait for the reception at the gate of the palace. After a short rest for a day, they ate two more banquets. They got up again and continued to walk southwest. After another day, they arrived at the princess' fief. It is only a hundred miles away from Colorful Mountain.

"It's just that this distance is a bit embarrassing." Zhao Bijia looked at the map and sighed, "I still have to find a place to live locally."

But no matter what, they have already arrived at the place, and everyone discussed why it is better to go out for a while for a while.

After washing up, Zhao Bijia came out in light men's clothing, which immediately caught Ding Yuehua's attention.

"Where is this handsome young man from? Come and show my sister." With a smile on his face, Ding Yuehua kept waving at Zhao Bijia.

Zhao Bijia was already good-looking, but just after taking a shower, her lips were red and her teeth were white due to the heat. Wearing men's clothes, she looked even more attractive. The corners of Ding Yuehua's mouth could not stop turning up, and she couldn't control it no matter what.

After arriving at the place and taking a comfortable bath, Zhao Bijia relaxed physically and mentally. Hearing what Ding Yuehua said about her, she couldn't help but open her arms, and whispered: "Sister hug~"

Ding Yuehua's ears were a little hot, and just as he was about to stretch out his hand, Zhan Zhao suddenly came over with a serious face, "In broad daylight, lonely—" It's not a single man or widow, but he still wants to say, "What a decent person."

Seeing him like this, Ding Yuehua smiled even happier.

Zhao Bijia lowered her head halfway, looked at him with watery eyes but didn't speak, Zhan Zhao coughed, and glanced at Yang and An who had been waiting in the room, you don't care.

Yang and An smiled without saying a word.

Ding Yuehua confidently squeezed Zhao Bijia's little hand, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "You are wearing men's clothes, it's really—— well, I can't dress up as men's clothes now."
