[Seven-Five Doujin] Zhan Guard, please stay!

When Huangfu Nan and Zhan Zhao went to find Gongsun Ce together, Gongsun Ce was holding a yellowed book in his hand. The cover of the book was incomplete and there was no title. Huangfu Nan only saw the word "Anecdote".

Zhan Zhao walked into the room with Huangfu Nan, "Zhao Hu said you found some clues here."

Gongsun Ce raised his eyes, "I don't think there are any clues, but I saw an interesting folk story, and wondered if it is possible that the perpetrator of the murder case we are investigating now, like me, also saw this story."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't speak.Ever since the investigation of the murder case in Hangzhou, when Huangfu Nan discovered that the murderer killed people according to the sequence and method of the story written by Chen Xiangyu, Zhan Zhao suddenly became immune to such things.The world is full of wonders, and before it is confirmed, he is more inclined to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

Huangfu Nan stretched out his hand to Gongsun Ce, "Bring it to me to have a look."

Gongsun Ce handed her the booklet in his hand.

Huangfu Nan took the booklet, turning the pages so fast that Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao exchanged glances.Zhan Zhao had heard about Huangfu Nan's reading speed a long time ago, but after seeing it now, he realized that it was true that Gongsun Ce praised him and said that Huangfu Nan's reading speed was as fast as turning pages.

After a while, Huangfu Nan closed the booklet in his hand with a thoughtful expression.

Zhan Zhao looked at her, "What did you say?"

Huangfu Nan met his gaze with a dignified expression and subconsciously softened, and recounted the story she had seen.

It is rumored that a long time ago, there was a scholar who was going to take the exam in Beijing, but his mother was seriously ill. The scholar wanted to give up the opportunity to take the exam in order to take care of his mother.In order to let him go to Beijing with peace of mind, his mother negotiated with the two doctors, and lied to the scholar that her illness had improved, so that the scholar should not worry about her and miss the exam.The scholar believed his mother and the doctor's words and took the boy to Beijing for the exam. He really lived up to his mother's expectation and passed the Jinshi. But when he returned home, he found that his mother had died of illness on the bed.When the scholar saw his mother died of illness, he cried bitterly in front of the bed, and later passed out because of excessive sadness.When he fainted, he had a dream. Someone told him that death is not impossible to resurrect, as long as he can take the blood of a child under the age of seven and give it to his dead mother every seven days. After seven or seven consecutive days , his mother can be resurrected.The scholar was skeptical about the dream, but finally believed in the dream. He really took the blood of seven young children and gave it to his mother. His mother really came back to life and was in good health.After the scholar served his mother's death, he couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience, so he wrote the matter in his suicide note, and then the scholar hanged himself to apologize.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his forehead, "How could someone believe such absurd things?" Leaving aside the fact that this story is full of loopholes, the most obvious thing is how can someone's corpse be as good as ever after dozens of days?

Huangfu Nan deeply believed in this, but the ancients were always superstitious, and for those who were in extreme pain and unwilling to face the reality, such a story might sometimes just become their life-saving straw.

Gongsun Ce: "Your Excellency previously suspected that these murders were related to things like cult sacrifices, so I collected some books and read them back. When I saw this, I thought it was a coincidence."

Zhan Zhao sat down and tapped the table with his fingers lightly: "The time interval between the murders of several young children is exactly seven days, but this is the same."

Gongsun Ce nodded, and continued: "I have never understood why the perpetrator used a hollow steel needle as the murder weapon. If the perpetrator really saw this anecdote like me, then I think the reason why he chose the steel needle as the murder weapon It should be to use that steel needle to draw blood."

Huangfu Nan frowned, and said with some hesitation: "But we can't be sure whether the perpetrator has really read this story."

Zhan Zhao: "The investigation of the case has so far been clueless. Since there is such a coincidence, we might as well assume that the perpetrator is really like Gongsun, seeing an anecdote and believing it to be true."

Huangfu Nan thought about it, and felt that for this clueless case, for the present plan, he had no choice but to treat it like a dead horse.

Zhan Zhao also said: "So far, five young children have been killed, so for the perpetrator, he should have lost someone who was very important to him more than a month ago. It is better to send someone The people who have done funeral affairs have found out, and after the adults come back from the palace, we will collect the current clues to see if we find anything."

Gongsun Ce nodded, "Alright, then I'll make arrangements."

Gongsun Ce left while talking, leaving only Huangfu Nan and Zhan Zhao in the room.

Zhan Zhao looked at the sky and felt that it was getting late, so he said to Huangfu Nan: "It's getting late, are you going back home?"

Huangfu Nan: "No, I won't go back yet."

"Where do you want to go if you don't go back?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

Huangfu Nan looked sideways at him, "I want to go to Huayu Lane."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback.

Huangfu Nan lowered her head and smiled, and said: "I accidentally caused a little trouble today, and now I want to go to Huayu Lane to have a look." She accidentally injured Wu You's wrist, since he said that there is a The grandma needs someone to help cook, so of course she has to go and have a look.Huangfu Nan thought for a while, then looked up at Zhan Zhao, and asked with some hope, "Well, can you go with me?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned again, feeling flattered inevitably in his heart, but looked at Huangfu Nan calmly on the surface.

Huangfu Nan: "..."

It was also the first time for her to find an excuse to ask for someone to accompany her. Seeing Zhan Zhao's seemingly unmoving reaction, she also started to feel agitated. Is he willing or not?

In such a short period of time, Huangfu Nan had seven or eight thoughts in her heart in shock, and finally she wanted to forget about it, she had better go back home and forget about it.

"I read--"

"can."

Just when Huangfu Nan was about to say I'd better forget it, Zhan Zhao replied.

Huangfu Nan blinked, and looked at Zhan Zhao unresponsively.

Zhan Zhao looked at her, with a smile on his lips, "If you don't leave, it will really be dark."

"Well... ah, let's go then." Huangfu Nan turned around hastily and walked out the door.As she walked, she sighed inwardly, it seemed that this man really couldn't think differently about others, when she didn't have that kind of thought about Zhan Zhao before, she only thought that this man was good-looking, and wherever he went, he was pleasing to the eye, But there was never a time when she lost her mind or was uncomfortable. Now that she has other thoughts about him, she just feels that this handsome man is like a poisonous poppy. Inadvertently sank into it unconsciously.

Huangfu Nan touched his little heart that was about to twitch, and felt that he was a little disappointed but also uncontrollably happy.

Although it is already summer now, what she feels is spring.

Huangfu Nan went to Huayu Lane for Zhanzhao, the young Wu You did not deceive Huangfu Nan, there was indeed an old lady there, and someone needed to go and cook for her.So after Huangfu Nan returned to Bao's Mansion, he told Mo Yu to deliver meals to the old lady in Huayu Lane on a regular basis every day.

The next day, Huangfu Nan got up early.

He didn't sleep well all night, because Gongsun Ce was coming to the mansion to help Li's pulse today, and because Huang Fu Nan was thinking about Zhan Zhao.

It's really troublesome to fall in love... The trouble is that if she really wants to confront Zhan Zhao, then it's not love, it's a lifelong alliance.Throughout the night, Huangfu Nan dreamed that she and Zhan Zhao were together, married, and lived a lifetime, and then dreamed that she was a deserter, and Zhan Zhao's condemning gaze followed her like a shadow, making her feel suffocated. , too sad.

Huangfu Nan lifted the quilt and got up, and after washing up, he leaned on the window sill absent-mindedly.

Seeing this, Mo Yu was a little puzzled, "Girl?"

Huangfu Nan turned around, "I'm fine, did you say when Mr. Gongsun will come?"

Mo Yu: "Your Excellency will take a rest today. Mr. Gongsun will probably come after breakfast."

Huangfu Nan: "Then set the meal, I'll go to my sister-in-law's place after breakfast."

When Huangfu Nan went to Li Shi's place, Gongsun Ce hadn't come yet, Li Shi looked pale and his mental state was not very good.

"I don't know what's going on recently, I always can't eat, I often feel nauseous, and I can't cheer up." Li Shi and Huangfu Nan walked in the garden together, talking about her to Huangfu Nan in a tired tone The latest situation, "Your brother-in-law also said that I have a bad temper recently, and I always doze off unconsciously in my spare time."

Huangfu Nan comforted softly, "Maybe it's getting hotter these days, summer is already easy to make people upset, sister-in-law, don't think too much about it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li turned her head and gave Huangfu Nan a reproachful look, "How can you not think too much, such a big family needs to take care of everything and worry about everything. Your sworn brother also said that now His Majesty hopes that he can help the development of the world." The guards lead the red line, I feel very annoyed when I think about it."

Huangfu Nan was a little dumbfounded, and was about to speak when someone said that it was Gongsun Ce who had come.

Huangfu Nan had no choice but to accompany Li back home first.

When they went back, Gongsun Ce was also in a white robe and was discussing business matters with Bao Zheng. Seeing Li Shi and Huang Fu Nan coming, both of them fell silent in unison.It's not that he is afraid of what Li Shi will hear, but that no matter how busy Bao Zheng himself is with the affairs of the Kaifeng mansion, no matter whether it is a major matter of worrying about the country and the people or a trivial matter, he seldom raises it in front of Li Shi. and.Moreover, Li's health is not very good recently, and he doesn't want her to worry about it.

Gongsun Ce took Li's pulse, Bao Zheng signaled Mo Yu to accompany Li, and let Huang Funan stay.

"Brother?"

Bao Zheng: "You can go back to Kaifeng Mansion starting tomorrow."

Huangfu Nan was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then smiled and said hello.

Bao Zheng coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "There is more than one case in Kaifeng Mansion, and there are not enough manpower. You can just go back and share it for them."

Huangfu Nan gave a very easy-going "hmm".

Bao Zheng turned his head, and suddenly looked at Huangfu Nan with an unfathomable expression on his face, and asked, "I heard that Zhan's guards accompanied you to Huayu Lane yesterday?"

Huangfu Nan originally thought it would be fine to ask Zhan Zhao to accompany her to Huayu Lane, but Bao Zheng glanced at her in such an inscrutable way that she suddenly felt something was wrong, so she dryly explained: "A-actually, it's getting late Yes, it happens that Xiong Fei is going home too, by the way."

Bao Zheng nodded inscrutablely again, and then said: "Your sister-in-law is not in good health recently, so don't let her worry about it. Some things are not necessarily a good thing, even if everything is considered carefully, sometimes people's wishes fail Time." The latter sentence has a different meaning.

Huangfu Nan was beaten by Mrs. Li just now in the yard, so how could she not understand what Bao Zheng said.

She thought about it, and then said to Bao Zheng with a very solemn expression: "I understand what the brother-in-law said. I just..." Huangfu Nan paused, and continued, "On the matter of Xiong Fei, I really It's too much worry. But now I have figured it out, and I have thought about what I should do better, and I won't let my brother-in-law and sister-in-law worry about it in the future."

When Bao Zheng heard this, a smile finally appeared on his serious face, "It's best if you can figure it out."

Huangfu Nan laughed at herself: "Ever since the brother-in-law recognized me as the righteous sister, you and sister-in-law have always worried about my affairs. I have caused a lot of trouble for the brother-in-law for no reason, and you and sister-in-law have to worry about it on weekdays." Zhao Fu, speaking of it, I feel very sorry."

Huangfu Nan was not saying this politely, but sincerely thought so.When she came to Kaifeng, she recognized Mr. Bao as her righteous brother for no reason. She was sheltered in this world, and later she was able to go to Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the case and use what she learned, which is already very lucky.Huangfu Nan didn't feel how deep the relationship between her and Bao Zheng's righteous brother and sister was, but Bao Zheng had a lot of brotherly love for this righteous sister who was born for no reason, and Li Shi cared about her almost every detail , Huangfu Nan was very moved.

One always has to know the good from the bad, and Huangfu Nan felt that it would be outrageous for her to be ambiguous about herself and Zhan Zhao at a time like this.

Bao Zheng turned his head and looked at Huangfu Nan. He never cared about a woman's appearance, and there was no obvious boundary between beauty and ugliness, but Bao Zheng thought that his adopted sister should be quite good-looking.

Bao Zheng: "Since we are a family, don't say such unreasonable things."

Huangfu Nan was taken aback.

Bao Zheng's words rarely showed a little warmth, and he said: "Since we are family members, we will never give up. Why do you want to make trouble?"

Huangfu Nan laughed when he heard the words, "Well, brother Yi said so."

Her heart, which has always been unsteady, seems to have finally settled down at this moment. She finally feels that she is in this world, and she also has a family.
