Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

"Jin Qian, today we are going to investigate the case with Mr. Zhan, get up soon!"

Jin Qian was sleeping soundly, when he heard Zheng Xiaoliu in the outer room clucking like an old hen taking stimulants, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, and struggled under the covers for a long time before barely raising one eyelid.

It was not yet clear outside the window, but it had just dawned, and the sound of a rooster crowing could be vaguely heard.

"Is there a mistake?!" Jin Qian murmured, turned his head, and continued to sleep with his head covered.

Zheng Xiaoliu, who was sleeping in the outer room, got up in a hurry, got out of bed to wash up, there was a sound of ding ding dongdong, it was very noisy, and after a while, Zheng Xiaoliu yelled loudly outside the door again: "Jin Qian, are you still not getting up? What should I do if I miss Master Zhan's investigation?"

"Tsk..."

Jin Qian secretly sighed in his heart, sat up in a daze, scratched his head, yawned twice, then slowly put on his clothes and tied his belt, and got out of bed to wash.

After Jin Qian tidied up and came to the outer room, he saw Zheng Xiaoliu standing upright at the door, looking smug, but his hands seemed to be a little too energetic, trembling slightly.

Jin Qian glanced at Zheng Xiaoliu out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help being a little funny, and thought: This kid is too exaggerated, we are just going out with that cat to investigate the case, and we are not going abroad to visit the United States with the president of the country, so we must be so nervous Does it look like this?

"Morning..." Jin Qian stepped forward to greet him while yawning.

"Morning!" Zheng Xiaoliu replied, and hastily stepped forward two steps, standing in front of Jinqian and asking: "Jinqian, what do you think of my attire today?"

Jin Qian yawned and nodded: "It's good." He thought: What's so good about it? Isn't it just the government servant's skin, black or not, red or not, it's ugly to death, I don't know who designed it, a little There is no artistic content at all. Compared with Mao'er's official robe, it is like a moon in the sky and a mud in the ground.

Hearing Jin Qian's words, Zheng Xiaoliu felt relieved, straightened his clothes nervously, and said: "This is the first time I go out to investigate the case, I'll go with Mr. Zhan, there must be no mistakes."

"What could be wrong? As long as you carry that black basin by your side obediently."

Zheng Xiaoliu was ashamed when he heard the words, twisted his fingers for a long time, and said quietly: "Jinqian, I have a discussion with you, can you carry the black basin?"

"What?" Jin Qian's eyeballs almost fell out, and he thought: What are you kidding, letting that ghost black basin stay in the outhouse last night was the limit, and we still have to carry it today?Wouldn't that really become a "ghost upper body"?

Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurriedly put on a smiling face and said to Zheng Xiaoliu: "Little Sixth Brother, how could it be our turn to carry this kind of honorable task of carrying the black basin? How can you say that Little Sixth Brother, you entered the officialdom earlier than us? This rare opportunity must of course be reserved for seniors.”

Zheng Xiaoliu took a few steps back when she heard the words, shook her head vigorously and said, "I want to recite it too, but, but... I'm really scared, I, I really don't dare to recite it..."

When Jin Qian heard this, his head was covered with black lines, and then he raised his eyes to see Zheng Xiaoliu, with big black and white eyes staring at him pitifully, almost wagging a tail.

Tsk...it's useless for you to pretend to be cute, how can we, a dignified modern person, be so tempted!

"Jin Qian, I... just this one time..."

No talking!Even if you move the emperor out, we won't give face!

"Jin Qian...how about I treat you to a meal..."

Cough cough... We are a dignified future person, and we can be regarded as the descendants of these ancients, so we still have to observe the necessary filial piety!

Jinqian raised his eyebrows, and fixedly glanced at Zheng Xiaoliu: "Xiao Liu, we are here to help you out, don't forget our kindness!"

Zheng Xiaoliu nodded hurriedly.

Only then did Jin Qian slowly walk into the room, walked around the round table a few times with his hands behind his back, and said to the dark black basin on the table: "Unipot!"

Na Wupen immediately replied: "The name of the grassroots is Liu Shichang."

"Okay, Liu Wupen." Jin Qian crossed his arms and said in a displeased tone, "Let's say hello to you in advance, today we condescend to take you out, if you do anything wrong, you will be killed on the way Crying and crying, don't blame us for being ruthless and frustrated!"

Wupen was helpless, and thought: I already look like this, how can I do something wrong?But seeing the serious look on the young servant's face, he didn't seem to be joking, so he had no choice but to agree.

Only then did Jin Qian heave a sigh of relief, picked up the black basin, and said to Zheng Xiaoliu: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly find a piece of black cloth to wrap him up, so that it won't lose its soul when it sees the sun."

Zheng Xiaoliu said with a look of admiration: "Unexpectedly, Jin Qian is also familiar with the theory of ghosts."

Jin Qianxin said: Nonsense, our 20 years of TV dramas are not for nothing!

By the time the two wrapped the black basin and hurried to the third class to report to Zaoli's class leader, it was already daylight.As soon as he entered the third class room, he saw Zhan Zhao in a red official robe sitting in the upper seat, and the head of Zaoli's class was standing respectfully at one side.

Seeing Jinqian and Zheng Xiaoliu enter the door, the team leader hastily stepped forward and reprimanded them: "Why are you two here now, Mr. Zhan has been waiting here for a long time."

Zheng Xiaoliu hurried forward with cupped hands, and said loudly: "My subordinate Zheng Xiaoliu has met Mr. Zhan."

Jin Qian followed suit: "My subordinate Jin Qian has met your lord."

Zhan Zhao looked up at the two of them, and couldn't help being taken aback.

I saw that Zheng Xiaoliu was nervous and at a loss, but his big leopard eyes were shining brightly as he looked at him, as if seeing a god in the sky, he couldn't help but feel chills down his back; looking at Jin Qian, he was uncharacteristically bowing his head Bending over, sighing, a huge black package on his body was clasped on his back like a turtle shell, his expression was sluggish.

Then I heard the Zaoli team leader ask in a low voice: "Jin Qian, why do you look like this?"

Jin Qian rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and thought: Nonsense, if you were to run around the world with a ghost on your back early in the morning, your image might not be as good as ours!Tsk... I didn't expect this black bowl to be so heavy. It's really worthless in exchange for only one meal. It's a miscalculation!

Seeing that Jin Qian just rolled his eyes but didn't answer, Zaoli couldn't help being a little displeased, and his tone became hardened, and he said, "Jin Qian, why didn't you answer the question my team leader asked you?"

Jin Qian was feeling depressed right now, and when he heard the question from the team leader, he couldn't help feeling a little angry, and just about to reply, he heard Zhan Zhao say from the side: "Boss leader, these two are going out with Zhan to handle the case. urgent."

As soon as the team leader heard Mr. Zhan's words, he immediately turned around as if he had changed people, and said with a smile: "What Mr. Zhan said is true, and the subordinates will not delay Mr. Zhan to go out to handle the case." Turning around, he turned to Zheng Xiaoliu and Jin Qian again Mei whispered: "You two, this time you go out with Mr. Zhan, you have to be careful. If you miss Mr. Zhan's official business and lose the people in our class, hum..."

When Jin Qian saw it, he was speechless and thought, "I never thought that the face-changing skills of this group are more exquisite than the face-changing masters in Sichuan. We must ask for advice when we come back."

When Zheng Xiaoliu heard this, she immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, the team leader, this time we will be the Zaoli team to save face."

The team leader nodded in peace of mind and sent the three of them out respectfully.

When the three of them left the gate of the government office, Zhan Zhao asked, "Zheng Xiaoliu, where do you live in Bianliang City?"

As soon as Zheng Xiaoliu heard Mr. Zhan asking herself, her excited voice changed and raised two octaves: "Master Hui Zhan, my subordinate lives in Maxing Street, not far from here, and it takes half an hour to walk there."

Jin Qian was dumbfounded when he heard it, and thought: What? !Half an hour, converted into modern time, wouldn't it take an hour?There is no mistake!When we get to Xiaoliu's house, we probably won't be far from Yan Luodian.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurriedly stepped forward, walked to Zhan Zhao's side and said with a smile, "Master Zhan, since Xiaoliu's family is so far away, why don't we rent a carriage..."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and said, "Jin Qian, it's only an hour's journey, why do you need a carriage instead?"

This Grandet cat!Stingy cat!

Jin Qian froze, his face twitching uncontrollably.He also heard Zheng Xiaoliu fanning the flames from the side: "Jin Qian, I will be there in a while, there is no need to call for a carriage, I always walk back."

Jin Qian gave Zheng Xiaoliu a hard look, and wanted to give Zhan Zhao a look, but he didn't have the guts, so he had to give up, thinking: I dare to love you two big men, with nothing else, like walking, we are a weak woman , but there is still a ghost on his back!

Zhan Zhao saw that Jin Qian's face turned white and then blue, and glanced at the black basin behind him frequently, and suddenly he understood, and said slowly: "Jin Qian, seeing that you are thin and small, Zhan may not be able to carry this black basin, why don't you let Zhan How about a certain generation?"

Jin Qian couldn't help being taken aback when he heard it, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhan Zhao's eyes were bright, his figure was handsome, bathed in the morning glory, he looked like a god coming to the world, he couldn't help being moved in his heart: "Cat, we Wrong, we shouldn't say you are a stingy cat, but you are a big good cat, you are simply the cat of Guanyin, the reincarnation of the Tathagata cat.

"Since Mr. Zhan gave such an order, the subordinates must obey!" After being moved a bit, Jin Qian hurriedly untied the black basin from his back and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

But before the black basin even touched Zhan Zhao's finger, he yelled, "No way!"

All three of them were taken aback for a moment, and then Jin Qian said angrily: "Liu Wupen, what's wrong with you?"

Wupen said quietly: "Master Zhan is too righteous, if the grass-roots people get close, I'm afraid the soul will be lost!"

Jin Qian really wanted to throw this black basin into outer space.

Then Wu Pen said again: "This little brother Jin, I'm afraid I still have to trouble you."

Zhan Zhao heard the words, with an apologetic expression on his face, he said to Jin Qian, "Brother Jin is still in trouble."

Jin Qian managed to squeeze out a smiling face, and slowly followed behind Zhan Zhao and Zheng Xiaoliu, walking slowly, looking like a 80-[-]-year-old old woman from a distance.

As Zheng Xiaoliu said, the three of them walked for half an hour, passed through double-digit streets, and finally came to Zheng Xiaoliu's house: three tile-roofed houses and one courtyard, it seems that they are well-to-do.

When he came to the door, Zheng Xiaoliu pushed open the courtyard door and called out: "Father, let's see who is here?"

I heard an old man's voice from inside the main room: "It's Xiaoliu, didn't you just come back yesterday, why did you come back so early this morning? Could it be that you are thinking about your big brother and second brother's pork head!"

Following the sound, I saw a gray-haired old man walking out slowly with a cane. When he saw the three people at the door, he was slightly taken aback, and asked Zheng Xiaoliu: "Xiao Liu, who are these two——"

Zheng Xiaoliu hurried forward, supported the old man and said, "Father, this is Mr. Zhan whom I often mention to you!"

When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "What, this is Mr. Zhan from Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zhan Zhao saluted briefly, and said with a slight smile, "Father Zheng."

Father Zheng was flattered immediately, he held Zheng Xiaoliu's hand at a loss and shouted: "Xiao Liu, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and invite Master Zhan to sit in the house, there is some new tea at home, hurry up and make Master Zhan some tea." .”

"Yes, yes, father." When Zheng Xiaoliu heard this, he ran into the inner room like burning his butt.

"..." Zhan Zhao had no choice but to nod his head slightly, and had to follow Mr. Zheng into the main room slowly.

Jin Qian looked at it and said in his heart: Yes!Dare to become a transparent person.Forget it, don't pretend to be reserved, since no one invites you, let's be sensible and follow along.

The three of them walked into the room, but Mr. Zheng insisted on letting Zhan Zhao sit in the main seat, but Zhan Zhao couldn't resist, so he had to sit down on the upper seat. Only then did Mr. Zheng take the second seat. Take the seat next to the table, take off the package on your back, put it away and sit down.

Only now did Father Zheng see that there was another person in the room, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder if this little brother is—"

Jin Qian clasped his fists and said helplessly, "I'm here, Jin Qian."

"Jinqian!" Father Zheng's cry was louder than when he saw Zhan Zhao: "Are you Jinqian who shares the same room with my Xiaoliu?"

Jin Qian was taken aback, paused and said, "Exactly. Father Zheng knows about us?"

Father Zheng stroked his beard and laughed, "Of course I know. Every time Xiao Liu goes home, he talks about Mr. Zhan's deeds the most, followed by you, Jin Qian."

Jin Qian also laughed, and thought: What Xiaoliu said about cats, you don't need to ask carefully, seeing that Mr. Zheng almost worshiped cats as Buddhas, he can guess the general idea.It's just that Old Zheng smiled so strangely when he saw him, and he didn't know what kind of nonsensical rumors Zheng Xiaoliu was talking about.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help clearing his throat, and asked, "I don't know if Brother Liu is right—"

"Xiao Liu is full of praise for you." Old Zheng said with a smile, "Xiao Liu said, although you are young, Jin Qian, you are very eloquent. When you encounter vegetables and kill vegetables, you are invincible in the market! How powerful!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Jin Qian almost lost his breath, and thought: This is not a compliment, it is simply describing a gangster!

Looking at Zhan Zhao again, he nods his head slightly and closes his eyes lightly, seemingly motionless as a clock, but the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, which is dazzling no matter how you look at it.

Father Zheng didn't know what he said wrong, but he saw that Jin Qian's face was unkind, and he saw that Mr. Zhan was silent, so naturally he didn't dare to say more.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the house was very strange.

Fortunately, Zheng Xiaoliu's hands and feet were still nimble, and after a while, he walked in with a tea set and filled the tea cups for several people, and the weird atmosphere eased a bit.

Zhan Zhao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked slowly, "Father Zheng, did you let Zheng Xiaoliu bring a black basin into the government office yesterday?"

Father Zheng was taken aback when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "Exactly. Why did Mr. Zhan come here to ask? Could it be that there is something wrong with the black basin?"

Zheng Xiaoliu became anxious when she heard it, and said loudly: "Father, the black basin you asked me to send..."

"Xiao Liu!" Jin Qian hurriedly stopped Zheng Xiaoliu, and said: "Master Zhan is asking, how can I wait for little Zaoli to intervene?" But he said in his heart: Zheng Xiaoliu was carved out of the same mold as his father Yes, speak without brain.If the old man knew that the black basin he sent was haunted by ghosts, and even disturbed Mr. Bao—tsk... this ancient man basically lacked a few brains. Hidden disease, all of a sudden, we have become sinners.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurriedly winked at Zhan Zhao, hoping that this law-abiding cat would not be too honest.

What kind of person is that Zhan Zhao? When he saw Jin Qian winking and raising his eyebrows, his eyes kept glancing towards Father Zheng, he knew it all at once, but he couldn't help but feel a little funny, and he paused for a moment before saying "Father Zheng was too worried. It was Mr. Bao who saw that the utensils were burning very well and wanted to buy a few more for the house, so he asked Zhan to inquire."

When Zheng Xiaoliu heard this, she was even more surprised, and said again: "Master Zhan, why are you..."

Jin Qian rushed forward in a stride, pulled Zheng Xiaoliu aside, and laughed loudly: "That's the way it is, otherwise, why would Mr. Zhan take us two little Zaoliu out?" Then he whispered to Zheng Xiaoliu: " Xiao Liu, what Master Zhan said naturally has his reasons, do you understand?"

Zheng Xiaoliu blinked and nodded inexplicably.

Hearing the words, Mr. Zheng felt relieved, and laughed again: "Actually, that black basin is just a cheap item bought at Wang's Miscellaneous Store in the back street, and it's not worth much."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked again, "How close is that miscellaneous shop to this place?"

"It's very close. Go out the gate and turn left. The first house on the south side of the street is."

Zhan Zhao nodded, got up immediately, and said to Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu, "In that case, I'll go check it out soon."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands to salute Old Father Zheng, and then hurried to the door.

Jin Qian also hastily carried the Wupen package on his back, bid farewell to Father Zheng with Zheng Xiaoliu, and followed.

Only Father Zheng sat in the room and murmured: "This Kaifeng mansion is indeed a place where talents are produced, even buying a black basin is so fast, it seems that Xiaoliu is expected to become famous."

-

According to what Mr. Zheng said, within half a moment, the three of them saw the miscellaneous shop.

I saw this miscellaneous business standing facing the street, with a plaque hanging high at the door, which read: "Wang's miscellaneous business".Although the area is small, it is full of goods inside.Clay pots, pots, and porcelain dishes are neatly placed on the shelves.

Seeing the three of Zhan Zhao, the manager of the miscellaneous shop immediately greeted the three of them with a smile on his face, "Hey, three adults, what do you need? The store is full of goods, and there are no deceitful ones. The three adults just look inside."

Zhan Zhao nodded and stepped into the store, Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu also followed.

As soon as he entered the store, Zhan Zhao asked seriously: "My shopkeeper, did you sell a black basin a few days ago?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, but seeing that the red-clothed official had an extraordinary aura, he didn't dare to be negligent, and after thinking about it, he said: "Return to my lord, the villain did buy a black basin the day before yesterday."

"What is the shape of the black basin?"

The shopkeeper was even more puzzled, paused, and then gestured with both hands: "It's about this big, the whole body is pitch black, and it's so black that it shines."

Upon hearing the words, Zhan Zhao nodded to Jin Qian.When Jin Qian saw it, he hurriedly unwrapped the package on his back, found a dark place, held out the black basin and said, "Shopkeeper, come and see if it is this black basin."

The shopkeeper walked in and took a look, nodded repeatedly and said: "It's exactly this black basin. Could it be that there is something defective about this black basin..."

Zhan Zhao signaled Jin Qian to wrap the black basin, and then asked, "May I ask this shopkeeper, do you still remember who sent this basin for sale?"

"This..." The shopkeeper frowned and thought for a while, "It's been almost half a year since this black basin was delivered. As for who sent it, I'm afraid we have to check the old account."

"Half a year?!" Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.

Zhan Zhao glanced at the black basin behind him out of the corner of his eye, then cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll be the shopkeeper."

"No trouble, no trouble." The shopkeeper had never seen such a polite official, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, so he hurriedly bowed his hand to return the gift, and went back to the inner room to check the account books.

Not long after, I saw the shopkeeper come out with an account book, flipping through it as he walked, turning over a few pages, then stopped suddenly, and hurriedly walked in front of Zhan Zhao and said, "I found it! This official, this black basin is from the [-]th day of the first lunar month." Day, sent by Wu Dali."

Zhan Zhao took a look at the ledger, and then asked, "Who is this Wu Dali?"

The shopkeeper replied: "He is a craftsman who specializes in firing pottery pots. He and his younger brother make a living by firing pottery pots. Speaking of which, he used to come here often to deliver goods, but for some reason, he disappeared in the past six months."

Zhan Zhao and the others were shocked when they heard the words, and the black basin was even shaking behind Jin Qian's back.

"Liu Wupen, don't get excited, calm down, our backs are about to fall apart." Jin Qian whispered to Wupen behind him.

"Brother Guan, it was also a pair of brothers who killed me!" Wu Pen replied in a low voice.

"Got it!" Jin Qian said angrily, "Master Zhan is asking!"

Only then did Wupen gradually quiet down.

Just heard Zhan Zhao ask over there: "My shopkeeper, do you know where these two brothers live?"

"This... seems to have been mentioned by them. It is probably in the Nanhua Mountain area outside the Chenzhou Gate. It is said that there are few people and it is suitable for firing pots."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he was overjoyed, bowed his hands and bid farewell to the shopkeeper, and hurried towards Chenzhou Gate with Zheng Xiaoliu and Jin Qian.

Jin Qian followed behind Zhan Zhao, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive, and asked Zheng Xiaoliu, "Little Sixth Brother, how far is Nanhua Mountain outside Chenzhou Gate from here?"

Zheng Xiaoliu thought for a while and said, "It's not very far, only about a dozen miles away."

"Oh..." Jin Qian nodded, twitching his facial muscles and said, "That's really close..."

-

In the outer city of Dongdu, outside the gate of Chenzhou, on Nanhua Mountain, there are luxuriant trees and few people.

With a black tortoise shell on his back, Jin Qian followed Zhan Zhao with a mournful face, complaining in his heart: I knew it must be a hard job to go out with this cat, and I ran here to cross the mountains just after lunch Ridge, wading through mountains and rivers is not in line with the way of health preservation. With such hard work, what should we do if we suffer from gastroenteritis?

Then look at Zheng Xiaoliu, who seems to have taken a Shiquan Dali pill, closely following Zhan Zhao, even more agile than Jin Qian, who possesses light kung fu.Needless to say, Zhan Zhao didn't even bend his waist from the beginning to the end.

The three walked around the mountain like this for two hours, until the sun was westward, and they vaguely saw a house.

Seeing the courtyard in the forest, the three of them were overjoyed, hurried to the gate of the courtyard, and stopped to stand there.

There are two huts in the courtyard, one facing each other and the other standing sideways. There seems to be a backyard behind the houses. The courtyard is in dire condition, as if no one has taken care of it for a long time.

When the black basin looked at the courtyard here, it suddenly shook continuously, and there was a buzzing sound in the basin: "This is the place, this is the place, and it is here that I was killed and burned by those brothers."

The three of them were shocked when they heard this.Zhan Zhao signaled Jin and Zheng to step back a little, jumped into the courtyard by himself, dodged a few times, then turned around in the front and back yards, and then turned around to signal for Jin and Zheng to enter the courtyard.

The three of them opened the door and entered the main room, only to see that the room was in a mess, with dust piled up and spider webs all over it. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Zhan Zhao walked around the room, turned around and asked Wupen, "Liu Shichang, were you killed in this courtyard?"

The black basin whimpered: "Exactly, the grass people will never forget this place no matter what!"

"Do you still remember being killed by what weapon?"

"It was a sharp axe."

Zhan Zhao nodded, looked around a few times, and said to Jin and Zheng, "It seems that the pair of brothers have escaped long ago, and this courtyard has probably been abandoned for a long time. I'll look around and see if I can find it." Get the murder weapon or a few clues."

"Yes, Mr. Zhan." Zheng Xiaoliu and Jin Qian replied in unison.

After Zheng Xiaoliu finished speaking, he followed Zhan Zhao to the side room like a tail, while Jin Qian walked slowly to the backyard, muttering, "Clues? This person has been running away for almost half a year, even if there are clues It was eaten up by early mice, and we can still keep it until now for us to find? The probability is too low... In my opinion, let's find a place to rest and get enough energy to go down the mountain."

While muttering, Jin Qian looked at the backyard, and saw that the yard was full of weeds, and in the corner of the yard, there was an earthen kiln, the surface of which had been blackened by thick smoke.

The black basin immediately shouted from behind: "This is the kiln, the brothers used this kiln to burn my bones into a black basin."

"Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Liu, you can take a good look back at the old days here, and restore your memory along the way. Let's take this opportunity to take a break."

After finishing speaking, Jin Qian untied the black basin and placed it next to the kiln, while he looked around, trying to find a clean place to sit down.

But after searching for a long time, there was no place to sit, but a lantern was found in a blind corner of the courtyard.Jin Qian picked it up and saw that the lampshade of the paper lamp was broken, and the surface was covered with mud. Jin Qian patted it hard twice, and a picture was vaguely visible under the mud. Looking carefully, it looked like a carp.

"Fortunately, the inside is quite clean, so I'll use it as a seat." Jin Qian flipped through the paper lantern while preparing to tear it apart.

"Don't tear it up!" Wupen yelled suddenly, scaring Jin Qian almost to the ground.

"What the hell are you screaming over there?" Jin Qian also shouted loudly.

But hearing the trembling voice of the black pot, he said sharply: "Quick, quickly bring that lantern."

Jin Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought: This black basin has never been so excited before, could it be an important evidence?So he hurriedly took the paper lantern and walked to the black basin.

When the Wupen saw it, he immediately cried: "This is the lantern. This is the carp lantern I bought for Bai'er during the Lantern Festival. I didn't expect it to still be here."

After finishing speaking, he burst into tears, and the voice burst out from the black basin, which was immediately deafening.

Jin Qian was deeply hurt by it, covered his ears and yelled loudly: "Wupen, don't get excited, stop and talk first."

"Why are you crying?" Zhan Zhao and Zheng Xiaoliu hurried over when they heard the cry, and asked loudly.

"Master Zhan..." The black basin gradually stopped crying when he heard Zhan Zhao's voice, and said with a choked voice, "I bought that paper lantern for my little Bai'er to celebrate the Lantern Festival. When I saw this lantern, I felt sad for a moment. Come, that's why I cried bitterly."

"Lantern?" Zhan Zhao frowned, took the paper lantern from Jin Qian, and asked, "But this lantern?"

"It's exactly this lamp. There is a golden carp painted on it, which Bai'er has been thinking about for a long time."

Zhan Zhao looked at the paper lantern in his hand for a long time before saying, "It looks like you were indeed killed here. Liu Shichang, what else are you thinking about?"

"My lord, this earthen kiln is the place where the bones of grassland people were burned."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward, inspected the kilns carefully several times, but shook his head and said, "This kind of kiln is everywhere, so it cannot be proved."

Wu Pen hurriedly said: "Then this carp lamp..."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "The entire courtyard was searched, but no murder weapon was found. I'm afraid this lamp is the only reliable evidence, but..." Before he finished speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

When Jin Qian saw this, he felt helpless immediately, thinking: This cat just likes to be on the edge of the horns. At this time, he didn't even see the shadow of the prisoner, but he was worried about the evidence issue first. Isn't he too dedicated?

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help taking two steps forward, and said: "Master Zhan, since there is no clue to check here, why not go back to the government office first, and discuss the countermeasures with your lord and Mr. Gongsun."

Hearing the words, Zhan Zhao nodded slightly and said, "This is the only plan for now. Jin Qian, Zheng Xiaoliu, it's getting late, we'd better go back to the residence as soon as possible."

Jin Qian heaved a sigh of relief, carried the black basin on his back and followed Zhan Zhao to the door.

-

Although the three of them walked like the wind, when they hurried back to Kaifeng mansion all the way, it was almost Xu hour and it was completely dark.Before the three of them had a drink and took a breath, Mr. Bao sent someone to pass it on.The three hurried to the flower hall again, and reported the day's fruit to Mr. Bao.

"Judging from this lamp, the person who killed Liu Shichang must be the Wu brothers from Nanhua Mountain." Mr. Bao said carefully while holding the carp lamp.

Zhan Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Based on Liu Shichang's testimony, it must be so."

Master Bao nodded, handed the carp lantern in his hand to Mr. Gongsun, and said: "Have you ever found the murder weapon?"

"Back to your lord, the subordinates have searched the courtyard completely, but found nothing."

"Then where are the Wu brothers now?"

"The Wu brothers have already abandoned their house and fled. There is no one nearby, and their subordinates are incompetent, so they were unable to track down the whereabouts of these two people."

Mr. Bao waved his hand and said, "Guard Zhan doesn't need to blame himself. After half a year, the clues must be hard to find." Then he turned to Mr. Gongsun and said, "In my opinion, what should I do?"

"This..." Mr. Gongsun hesitated: "After half a year, the clues disappeared and the murderer escaped. There is really no way to start."

Master Bao also lowered his eyebrows when he heard the words.After a while, Master Bao raised his head and asked: "Liu Shichang, I want to ask you, you were killed before the Lantern Festival, and Wupen can talk, but why did you come to report the crime at this time?"

Just listen to the Wupen saying: "My lord, the grass people don't know either. The grass people's souls are sealed in the black basin, and they can't speak at all, but they can speak when they are knocked by the gold yamen servant, so they come to report the case."

As soon as this remark came out, seeing that the eyes of all the people in the room were all shooting at Jin Qian, seeing Jin Qian's hair standing on end, he couldn't help being shocked, and said: "No way, it was just knocked by us." Knock, this black basin will come back to life, it's too outrageous!

Mr. Gongsun thought for a moment and said: "From this point of view, Jin Qian must be very talented and has the ability to communicate with psychics."

Jin Qian's eyes suddenly turned into a pair of longan, protruding, and thought: Gongsun Zhuzi, don't talk nonsense.Although our dignified modern people have evolved nearly a thousand years more than you... Wait, is it because modern people have evolved hundreds of years more than ancient people, and have a few more brain cells, so back to ancient times, there are psychics ability?Are you kidding? There is no scientific basis for such stupid things. How could it be possible? It must be just a coincidence.

Although Jin Qian never believed it, the rest of the people in the room probably believed it, and looked at Jin Qian with a little more respect in their eyes.Zheng Xiaoliu was the most obvious, his eyes glaring at Jinqian were bright.

Jin Qian was thinking hard about how to get out of his own mouth, but Master Bao sighed and said: "Liu Shichang, although Jin Qian will help you to complain, but it is too late. Now the evidence is not complete, and the murderer has disappeared. This government cannot I feel guilty for catching the real culprit for you."

"My lord..." Zhan Zhao and Mr. Gongsun said at the same time.

Mr. Bao waved his hand and bowed his head in silence.

The black basin was quiet for a while, before whispering: "Sir, the grass people have now expressed their grievances, and there is no longer any concern. Now, I just ask the Lord to grant the grass people one request. If this wish can be fulfilled, the grass people's grievances will not be forgiven."

Master Bao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and asked: "Liu Shichang, what is the request that is more serious than your revenge?"

Wu Pen replied: "My lord, the grass people just want to go home and visit their wives and children."

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent.After a long time, Master Bao sighed and said, "So it's like this—"

But Mr. Gongsun suddenly raised his voice: "My lord, those brothers murdered and bought the goods. They must sell the goods in exchange for money. Liu Shichang's wife must recognize the goods. Starting with the characteristics of the goods, there may be traces of them."

When everyone heard it, they were all overjoyed.

Master Bao said loudly: "Guard Zhan, I will order you to escort Liu Shichang home tomorrow."

"Subordinates obey."

"Jinqian, Zheng Xiaoliu, tomorrow you can go with Zhan's guards again."

"Of order." Zheng Xiaoliu immediately replied loudly.

"...As ordered." Jin Qian replied helplessly.

Master Bao looked at Jinqian, nodded and said: "Jinqian, since you are very talented, you need to assist Zhanwei a lot."

"...As ordered."

"Then you take this black basin back with you."

no? !again?
