[Rat and Cat] Painting Hall Spring Dependents

The two had dinner at Quanfulou, and then went straight back to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were looking at each other and talking, then Wang Chao and Zhang Long came out with a group of government servants with knives, and the group greeted Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao felt that something happened, so he asked, "Wang Chao, what happened?"

"Master Zhan, the eldest son of the Li family in the weaving workshop in the west of the city has died." Wang Chao said and walked to Zhan Zhao, "It is said that he died of an accident. He was discovered by the servants who came to serve him in the mansion early in the morning. You reported the case shortly after you left. .”

"En." Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, then nodded at Wang Chao, "Take them to Li's house to investigate."

"Yes!" Chao Chao obeyed, nodded slightly to Bai Yutang, and then led a group of yamen servants away.

Bai Yutang stroked his chin, and Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "I said in the morning that I could have a free meeting, so let's get on with things so soon!"

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips slightly, and then entered the gate together with him.

The two went directly to Bao Zheng's study, and Gongsun Ce was also inside.Zhan Zhao knocked on the door, and Gongsun Ce immediately opened the door.

"You two are back." Gongsun Ce invited them into the house.

Bai Yutang thought to himself, isn't it a waste of time for you to talk, everyone is here, you said you didn't come back.Although he thought so in his heart, he still had an indifferent expression on his face.

"Sir." Zhan Zhao cupped his hands to Gongsun Ce, then looked at Bao Zheng who was sitting in front of the desk, "My lord, what is the murder of the Li family?"

Bao Zheng stroked the beard on his chin and said, "The eldest son of the Li family is named Li Yuncai, and he will marry the daughter of the He family in the city in a month. Do you know the He family?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and then Bai Yutang said, "Is it the salt merchant He's family? Wouldn't the financial resources be even greater when these two people combine?"

Bao Zheng nodded with a smile, "But the groom died for no reason, and both the Li family and the He family demanded to find out the truth of this matter."

Zhan Zhao understood, cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate will go investigate with Bai Yutang later."

Gongsun Ce stood aside and flicked his sleeves, "Some people say that the bride killed her, and the bride is unlucky."

Bai Yutang suddenly smiled, Zhan Zhao took a look at Bai Yutang, then shook his head, "Zhan never believed that people can kill people, only believed that some people will bring good luck to others."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao with his eyes wide open, "Are you saying that Bai has brought you good luck?"

Gongsun Ce looked at the two of them with a smile, but did not speak.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, and then said, "Zhan was very lucky before."

Bai Yutang glared at him, what does this stinky cat mean, it's bad luck to meet the queen!Smelly cat, stinky cat!

The two of them asked Bao Zheng some more things, and then went to Li's house in the weaving workshop.

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng nonsensically and said, "It's really a match made in heaven."

Bao Zheng smiled, then squinted his eyes and looked at Gongsun Ce, "Sir, your half is still asking the mansion today if you are doing well!"

Knowing that the person he was talking about was Pang Tong from Zhongzhou, Gongsun Ce frowned slightly, "He wanted to know how I was doing, why didn't he come and ask!" Three years ago, he ran to the border without a word to join the army. It hurts me to look for him for more than a year.

"The government asked him that too. Guess what he said?" Bao Zheng laughed.

"How to say?" Gongsun Ce asked.

"He asked if you have your own life now, he didn't dare to disturb you." Bao Zheng said.

Gongsun Ce sighed, and looked outside the door, the palm flowers in the yard were in bloom, golden yellow, hanging in clusters on the trees, swaying with the wind.My life is not complete, just waiting for you to come.

The Kaifeng government office is located in the center of the city, and there are many pedestrians passing by along the way. Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao didn't walk very fast, and it took about half a stick of incense to reach the gate of the weaving workshop.

Zhan Zhao entered the gate, followed by Bai Yutang, he said slowly, "Cat, I really don't want to investigate the murder case."

Zhan Zhao glanced back at him, "Yutang, this is not a joke, it's not a question whether you want to investigate or not."

"Okay..." Bai Yutang felt a little frustrated, and the two entered the courtyard of the weaving workshop together.

Li's house and weaving workshop are combined, with the workshop on the left and the house on the right.There is an aisle paved with black and white cobblestones in the middle.

The yamen servant was looking around or interrogating the servants, Zhang Long saw the two of them, he hurriedly walked over and cupped his hands, "Lord Zhan, Lord Bai, you are here."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Bai Yutang went to the magnolia tree in the yard and plucked a flower. Summer is the season when magnolia flowers bloom. go.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went to live with the Li family. The old lady of the Li family was Li Xiulian. She was 80 years old, but she was still strong. It was just that this incident hit her hard, and it was her favorite grandson who died.

The Li family's name is Li Sui, his wife's name is Jiang Feifei, and they have a youngest son named Li Yuancai, who is only ten years old.There is another person in the main hall, who is said to be Li Yuncai's close friend Shen Huaiyi.

Zhan Zhao met Li Sui, and asked him who discovered the corpse, and if he could call up and ask him a few words.

Li Sui nodded, and immediately sent someone to call Ding Wang. Ding Wang is only one year younger than Li Yun. He is his schoolboy and always follows Li Yuncai.

When Ding Wang met Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, he respectfully stood aside.

Zhan Zhao asked, "How long ago did you find the corpse today? Was there anything unusual at that time?"

Ding Wang thought for a while, and answered truthfully, "Young master wakes up to read early every morning just after [-] o'clock, and the younger one goes to his room and waits as usual. After calling the young master, no one comes to open the door, and the younger one waits." After a while, who knew that there was no movement after waiting for a quarter of an hour, the younger one was about to knock on the door, who knew that the door opened immediately, and when he entered, he found the young master lying on his back on the bed."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and motioned for him to continue.

"Young master's expression is peaceful, nothing abnormal. The younger one thought he was sleeping, so he tidied up the desk, and then accidentally broke the lamp. I thought the young master would get up and punish the younger one, but who knew that there was such a big commotion and nothing happened. He wakes up." Ding Wang swallowed his throat and said, "Suddenly a bad thought popped up in my little heart, so he quietly approached the bed, slowly raised his hand to check Mr. Tan's breath, who knows... ..."

Zhan Zhao raised his hand to stop, meaning that he already understood.The old lady on one side kicked the floor vigorously with her cane, and Jiang Feifei was supported by the maid, weeping uncontrollably.

Bai Yutang leaned on Zhan Zhao's shoulder and looked down at Li Sui, who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "After you found the body, did you immediately report it?"

Li Sui shook his head, "We didn't realize it for a while, although we immediately called someone to notify the He Mansion, but we forgot to send someone to report the case. Later, Huai Yi came to find Yuncai, and he reminded us of this matter."

Bai Yutang took a second look at Shen Huaiyi, this person was wearing the blue cloud brocade satin that was popular this year, he looked very personable.
