A strange imperial decree made the Kaifeng mansion even more flustered in the midst of their busy schedule.Bao Zheng frowned, and repeatedly looked at the imperial decree handed down by Eunuch Guo. This imperial decree was quite strange. The imperial decree said that a female official of the sixth rank would come to Kaifeng Mansion to learn from Bao Zheng in handling cases, and told Bao Zheng to be sure. Discipline carefully, and the emperor will reward him when he succeeds in his studies.

"It's strange...the government has never heard of this person..." Bao Zheng looked at the name of the female official mentioned in the edict——Zhong Yu.

Except for the inner courtyard of the deep palace and the female general of the Yang family, the other court ladies can be counted with two hands.Bao Zheng thought he was familiar with officials of all states and counties, but he had never heard of such a name.

"My lord called me? But because of the imperial decree?" Gongsun Ce quickly walked into the study.

Zhan Zhao had just returned home and brought back a girl who jumped into the river from the river. She was very worried. Gongsun Ce asked him what happened, but he just sighed, as if he had something to say.

Gongsun Ce took the girl's pulse, and there is no danger of her life, but she will be in a coma for a while, and it is not known when she will wake up.While dispensing medicine for the girl, the yamen servant came to call Gongsun Ce, saying that the emperor's imperial decree had arrived, and my lord asked Mr. Gongsun to go to the study to discuss.

"Mr. Gongsun, who is Zhong Yu?" Bao Zheng handed over the imperial edict to Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce read the imperial decree carefully, and said: "My lord, do you still remember the incident where the emperor visited the border last year and was robbed when he went out in micro-clothes?"

Bao Zheng snorted and nodded. He still had some impressions of this matter.

"At that time, there was a chivalrous woman who saw injustice and drew her sword to save the emperor. This person was Zhong Yu." Gongsun Ce said.

"Ah... I remembered that Zhong Yu is a bounty hunter. In order to commend her for her meritorious service in rescuing her, the emperor gave her a golden knife and officially gave her the title of 'Bounty Hunter'." Bao Zheng remembered that the emperor had indeed sealed a bounty hunter named Zhong Yu, but this heroine lived at the border and walked on the border between Song and Liao all the year round, and had never really set foot in the Central Plains. forgotten.

"But why did the emperor send this young lady to the Kaifeng mansion?" Bao Zheng felt that there was something wrong with this matter, relying on his sensitivity in handling cases.

"When the girl arrives, adults will know as soon as they ask." Gongsun Ce said.

Bao Zheng nodded again.I'm afraid I really have to meet the parties to know about this matter.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Huwei has returned to the mansion?" Bao Zheng asked again.

Gongsun Ce immediately replied: "Yes, my lord, the guard Zhan has returned to the mansion, and is currently taking care of the girl who jumped into the river."

"The girl who jumped into the river?" Bao Zheng had another question.But half a day later, I seem to have missed a lot of things.

Gongsun Ce briefly explained what happened in Bianhe to Bao Zheng. It was just an ordinary case, but Ke Zhanzhao kept looking serious, not knowing what he was thinking.The girl's identity has not yet been confirmed, and she will be asked after she wakes up.

When Kaifeng mansion welcomes Zhong Yu, the girl whom Zhong Yu identified as Ding Yuehua Ding Xia has not yet awakened.Zhong Yu entered Kaifeng Mansion not in a hurry to meet Lord Bao, but to ask the girl that the yamen servant Zhan Zhao brought back to the mansion today.The yamen servant brought Zhong Yu to the guest room, while Zhan Zhao was still lingering in front of the bed.

"Hero Zhan, is Miss Ding awake?" Zhong Yu entered the guest room and asked.

"Why did you come to Kaifeng Mansion?" Zhan Zhao asked back.

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment before he realized that the girl in front of him who had changed into a woman's dress was the knight who had met by chance in Zuixianlou, that is, the one who recognized the diving person as Ding Yuehua.But didn't he already make it clear that this case doesn't need anyone to assist in the investigation, the process of the matter is already clear, all we need to do is wait for the girl to wake up and confirm her identity.

"Me? Starting today, I will live in Kaifeng Mansion." The girl put her hands behind her back, straightened her back, and announced a big event.

"Why?" Zhan Zhao asked.Not just anyone can live in Kaifeng Mansion, and this girl is not a witness who needs to be protected.

"Why? You can ask Master Bao! Oops...I'm going to pay a visit to Master Bao, Hero Zhan, see you later!" The girl bowed her hands and walked out of the guest room.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, this girl's origin was unknown, and her behavior was a little weird, making it confusing.But right now, what worries Zhan Zhao even more is the one lying on the bed.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were chatting when Zhong Yu arrived and entered the study.Seeing Bao Zheng, the girl just cupped her hands: "Zhong Yu has met Mr. Bao. It is inconvenient to salute today, please forgive me."

Zhong Yu came and went in a hurry, and just now he entered the palace to see him, so he was naturally carrying the golden saber bestowed by the emperor. Since this saber was bestowed by the emperor, it represented the current emperor. It is inconvenient to salute.When Bao Zheng saw the golden knife, he knew it clearly and just nodded.

"Miss Shi, the emperor sent you to Kaifeng mansion, but there is a case to be investigated?" Bao Zheng asked.

Kaifeng Mansion is also considered to be a thriving population, not to mention Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, the cadres of school lieutenants are also carefully selected and sent by various prefectures and counties.These people are enough for general criminal cases. Even if the emperor has a case to be sent to Kaifeng Mansion for trial, he rarely has investigators.

Zhong Yu stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency, you are too worried. Your Majesty has no case to investigate. Didn't your Majesty's meaning be clearly stated in the imperial decree, but Mr. Bao can't understand it?"

After hearing this, Gongsun Ce was not happy.Regardless of her quality, no one in the Kaifeng mansion dared to talk to Bao Zheng like that, this girl's behavior was really bold.

Bao Zheng didn't want to know the same as the little girl, so he didn't say anything, he just asked Gongsun Ce to arrange a room for Zhong Yu to live in.Since the imperial decree stated that Zhong Yu was to come to Kaifeng Mansion to study, it is natural to abide by the rules of Kaifeng Mansion. Gongsun Ce will make it clear when the time comes, and Bao Zheng doesn't need to think about it.

Gongsun Ce personally arranged a place for Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu thanked Gongsun Ce very politely. Gongsun Ce inevitably had to ask a few more questions about her intention to come to Kaifeng Mansion. He agrees.However, Gongsun Ce felt that there was a lot to be learned in it, and he could only discover it slowly in the future.

At dinner time, Gongsun Ce specially sent someone to inform Zhong Yu to have dinner together.In the final analysis, he was sent by the emperor, although his rank is low, he should not be neglected, lest the emperor blame Kaifeng Mansion for being unreasonable and sophisticated.

After everyone was seated, Zhan Zhaocai strolled over, thoughtful.Bao Zheng asked Gongsun Ce with his eyes, and Gongsun Ce understood Bao Zheng's meaning, and said, "Bai Yutang should be back, right? I haven't heard from him for more than half a month."

"Oh...he made a mistake on the road, and he will be able to return to Beijing two days later. Your Excellency and Mr. Gongsun don't have to worry." Zhan Zhao replied.Zhan Zhao is not worried about Bai Yutang, based on his experience in the world, there are not many people who can make him enlightened.

"Hero Zhan, Miss Ding is awake?" Zhong Yu stared at Zhan Zhao intently.

Gongsun Ce next to him secretly kicked Zhong Yu, because Zhan Zhao was bothered by this matter, Gongsun Ce diverted the conversation, and was pulled back by Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu let out an ouch, rubbed his ankle, raised his face and said sharply, "Mr. Gongsun, why are you kicking me?"

Asking this question made Gongsun Ce dumbfounded.Zhan Zhao glanced at Zhong Yu, but had no reaction, but Bao Zheng couldn't help chuckling.When it comes to the ways of the world, all the people in the Kaifeng Mansion followed Bao Zheng, only Gongsun Ce dealt with it.Zhan Zhao always ignored him, but Bai Yutang had eyes above his head, he disliked everyone, and no one dared to provoke him.

Zhong Yu groaned, slapped his forehead, suddenly remembered something, immediately stood up, plopped and knelt down in front of Bao Zheng, startling everyone.

"Miss Shi, who is this?" Bao Zheng didn't understand what he meant, he just smiled, there was no other meaning.

At this time, Zhong Yu looked a little shy, raised his head and said: "I suddenly remembered, I haven't saluted Sir, I don't know the etiquette of the Central Plains very well, please don't be offended." No matter how hard the ground was, there was a loud knock, which startled Gongsun Ce again.

Gongsun Ce got up quickly and pulled Zhong Yu up, it was the first time he saw such a real person.

"Okay, from now on we will be our own people in Kaifeng Mansion, so we don't need these red tapes." Gongsun Ce said.Although Bao Zheng pays attention to etiquette, Kaifeng mansion has always been like a family, Bao Zheng is not harsh, and usually nods when they meet each other.

Zhong Yu rubbed his forehead, he didn't grasp the strength just now, it hurt so much.

"My lord, let Miss Shi follow Zhan to guard." Gongsun Ce asked Bao Zheng for instructions.The girl's rank is not high, but Gongsun Ce can see that her aggressiveness may be unstoppable by others, and she can feel at ease following Zhan Zhao.

"Does Guard Zhan have any objections?" Bao Zheng asked.Bao Zheng is currently busy with official duties, so he has no time to take care of this kind of problem, and he doesn't know why the emperor suddenly sent someone to Kaifeng mansion, Gongsun Ce proposed a solution, and he followed, but he had to work hard to show.

"Your subordinates obey." Zhan Zhao replied.If Bao Zheng didn't worry about it, he would have to take on more responsibility. It wouldn't be inconvenient to have a "disciple".

Seeing Zhong Yu's adoration on Zhong Yu's face, Zhan Zhao understood her reason for coming.It seems that Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce are overwhelmed. This girl has said in Zuixianlou that she admires Nan Xia Zhan Zhao the most, and hopes to have a chance to meet him. Later, she learned that he is Zhan Zhao, and she wanted to follow him into the house, but was rejected. So she came up with such a way to ask the emperor to assign her to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao thought to herself that this girl is not stupid, but she used to be a bounty hunter, chasing suspects, it doesn't seem like investigations need to be shattered, as long as she is fast and good at martial arts is enough, some things need to be taught slowly in the future.For example, the rules of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao felt that he had to explain clearly to her.

"Master Zhan! Master Zhan!" Shouting hurriedly from far to near, Wang Chao ran into the flower hall.

"Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun, that girl is awake." Wang Chao reported.

Zhan Zhao's expression changed, he dropped the bowl and chopsticks, stood up, turned around and left without saying hello to Bao Zheng.
