24. Stone Lion (17)

Because Zhanzhao's bed in the room in Kaifeng Mansion was far less thick than Yu Xiaoyu's at home, Yu Xiaoyu felt very stiff when he woke up the next morning.

Yu Xiaoyu pressed his stiff body while looking at the extremely simple furnishings in Zhanzhao's room: "Alas, look at this deserted, is it still a place where people live?" And this broken bed, ouch, it's killing me......"

When Yu Xiaoyu cleaned himself up, as soon as he left the room, he heard people in the house talking about frightening words such as "assassin".

"Lord Zhang," Yu Xiaoyu stopped Zhang Qian, the official of Kaifeng Mansion who he met last time when he was dealing with the case of the female corpse in the alley: "Did something happen in the mansion last night?" How do I think I hear you talking about assassins or something? ”

Speaking of this matter, a trace of anger appeared on Zhang Qian's face: "Mrs. Zhan, don't mention this matter." Last night, if it weren't for Lord Zhan and a few other adults who didn't rest and kept watching, something would have really happened in our house......"

"What did you say?" Yu Xiaoyu's eyes widened and looked at Zhang Qian nervously: "Is there really an accident?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Qian nodded: "Last night, there was an accident at the Cui family's father and daughter and at the horse. Fortunately, the Cui family's father and daughter were protected by Captain Zhang and Captain Zhao, so nothing happened; It's just that the little girl is a little frightened......"

"What about Zhanzhao?" Hearing Zhang Qian's words, Yu Xiaoyu was shocked, and he couldn't help but ask: "How is he?" ”

"Zhan-sama?" Seeing Yu Xiaoyu's worried look, Zhang Qian hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Zhan, don't worry, Master Zhan is fine; Fortunately, Master Zhan was inspecting the prison at that time, otherwise, Liu Ying would have been robbed......"

Zhang Qian's words made Yu Xiaoyu breathe a long sigh of relief: "I know, thank you, Lord Zhang." ”

"Mrs. Zhan, you're welcome." Zhang Qian smiled: "The adult is about to be promoted to the court to interrogate Liu Ying, I have to go over and prepare first......

"Hmm!" Yu Xiaoyu nodded: "It's a waste of your time......"

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Zhang Qian hurriedly waved his hand: "Mrs. Zhan is polite, then I'll leave first." ”

Looking at Zhang Qian's back, Yu Xiaoyu knocked on his head and secretly complained to himself: Why should you worry about Zhanzhao?

"What are you doing again?" The familiar voice from behind him made Yu Xiaoyu quickly turn his head, and secretly pouted in his heart: "It's really daylight that you can't mention people!" ”

"Lord Zhan," Yu Xiaoyu turned his head and began to call with a smile on his face: "Are you there?" Aren't busy? ”

"If it's okay," Zhan Zhao walked to Yu Xiaoyu's side and said in a low voice, "You can go back first!" ”

"Hmm!" Yu Xiaoyu nodded, thought about it and hurriedly followed Zhanzhao: "Lord Zhan, I heard that something happened last night?" ”

"It's nothing," Zhan Zhao shook his head, "You should go back quickly." This case will be closed today......"

"Hey," Yu Xiaoyu followed behind Zhanzhao and asked curiously, "Will this case be over today?" Has Master Bao already decided? Has he decided to give in......"

"Are you going to follow me into Lord Bao's study?" Zhan Zhao suddenly stood still, and a sentence softly spat out of his mouth; And Yu Xiaoyu, who was following Zhan Zhao, didn't pay attention for a while, and directly hit Zhan Zhao's back.

Yu Xiaoyu rubbed his head and muttered in a low voice: "It hurts, it's okay to have such a hard back!" If you want to stop, won't you say it first? ”

Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaoyu constantly rubbing his head, and pinched the hand he just wanted to raise but put down: "You ......"

"Zhan Guard," Master Bao's voice came from the open study: "Come in!" By the way, Mrs. Zhan is also outside, so let's follow the Zhan guards in! ”

"Hmm!" Yu Xiaoyu glanced at Zhan Zhao proudly and walked in first.

Zhan Zhao recalled Yu Xiaoyu's "provocative" eyes just now, clenched his fists and walked into the study.

And Yu Xiaoyu also fully understood what happened in Kaifeng Mansion the night before in the study.

It turned out that yesterday after Yu Xiaoyu and the others went back to the room to rest, and Master Bao told Zhanzhao, Gongsun Ce and others about what happened in the palace, Gongsun Ce thought for a while, and suddenly said: "My lord, the student listened to your words just now and felt that something was wrong......

"What's wrong?" Master Bao looked at Gongsun Ce and asked with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Gongsun, what happened?" ”

"My lord," Gongsun Ce said with a solemn face: "Lord Shicai said what happened in the palace - when the lord was in the palace, he didn't give the emperor and the princess a positive answer, saying that he would spare the horses, right?" ”

"That's right," Master Bao nodded: "This decision was also made after careful consideration......

"It is precisely because of this," Gongsun Ce said in a low voice, "The students are a little worried, and the public ...... tonight Will it be ......"

"What does Mr. Gongsun mean to say......" Zhanzhao thought for a moment: "Will the princess lose her breath and send someone to rob Liu Ying out?" ”

Gongsun Ce nodded: "Zhan Guard's analysis is good, this is exactly what the students are worried about; Also, will the princess simply send someone to hurt the adult? ”

"Mr. Gongsun just rest assured," Zhan Zhao smiled: "Tonight, Zhan will stay by the side of the adult!" ”

"No," Master Bao thought for a moment and shook his head: "Zhan's guards should go to the cell to take a look, after all, the colt is important!" ”

"Adult ......"

"It's okay," Master Bao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay to have two dynasties and Mahan here in this mansion." ”

"The subordinates are sure to protect the lord well!" Wang Dynasty and Mahan bowed their hands at the same time and said in unison.

"In addition," Gongsun Ce thought for a while: "The Cui family's father and daughter, they have to trouble Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to take care of them more!" ”

"Yes!"

Originally, Gongsun Ce also thought that his worries were unnecessary; It's just that what I didn't expect was that except for Lord Bao, there were accidents in the other two places.

The Cui family's father and daughter once again appeared in the killer who tried to kill him, and Liu Ying also appeared in the assassin who planned to rob him out of prison......

However, because Kaifeng Mansion had been prepared for a long time, no matter which side it was, it did not succeed; It's just that Xiao Ke, who lives next to Cui Yimei's room, was startled by the killer who broke into the wrong room......

"Did you catch that man?" Yu Xiaoyu asked with concern, "Did you ask who sent it?" ”

Gongsun Ce shook his head and looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Those people are all dead soldiers," Zhanzhao said softly, "If the mission fails, they all commit suicide, there are no clues at all, and I don't know who sent them." ”

"Who else could there be?" Zhao Hu shouted anxiously: "It's not that ...... Gong"

"I don't think so!" Yu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Oh?" Master Bao looked at Yu Xiaoyu with interest: "How can you see it?" ”

"Because I don't think she should have that guts, let alone that brain," Yu Xiaoyu smiled: "Thinking of this method that can be counted in one fell swoop, on the one hand, it solves the Cui family's father and daughter, eliminates the human witness, and on the other hand, robs the horse, and by the way, you can also blame the people of Kaifeng Mansion, and the protection is not effective." And ......"

"And," Yu Xiaoyu paused: "And the important thing is that she shouldn't have the ability to make a group of dead soldiers, right?" If she's really secretly cultivating a group of dead soldiers, I'm curious - what the hell does she want to do? ”

Yu Xiaoyu's words made Master Bao nod involuntarily: "Mrs. Zhan's words are a very unique opinion. ”

"My lord," Gongsun Ce looked at the sky outside, "It's better for us to let go of this matter first; Let's go to the church first! ”

Master Bao nodded, and then began to herald the ascension. And this time, the observers of the Kaifeng Mansion trial have also changed from four to one again, but the person has been changed from Mrs. Bao to Yu Xiaoyu.

Yu Xiaoyu clasped his hands together and made a gesture of please, Gongsun Ce smiled, it was considered to be the master of Bao and allowed Yu Xiaoyu to listen.

Just when Master Bao was about to announce the sentence, the sound of the herald came again; And with an order, the princess reappeared in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion as everyone expected.

Although what happened the night before made the people of Kaifeng Mansion very dissatisfied with the princess; However, thinking of the emperor's embarrassing situation, Lord Bao sighed secretly, and still changed the verdict to acquit Liu Ying according to his previous decision.

Hearing Lord Bao's verdict, the princess hurriedly helped Liu Ying up, and said happily: "Don't you, this palace didn't lie to you - you'll be fine!" ”

"Minion, thank you, princess!" Liu Ying looked grateful.

"Cui Yi, Miss Cui," Master Bao looked at the Cui father and daughter who were kneeling on the ground with an incredulous look on their faces, and their faces were full of guilt: "As for that Yahuan Xiaocui, the emperor has already given her silver, you can take her back and bury her properly!" ”

"Lord Bao," Cui Yimei respectfully kowtowed to Lord Bao, and despite her father Cui Yi's obstruction, she said: "When the people's daughter was at home, I once heard that Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, and he is a good official who is difficult to come out of a hundred generations. Today, however, ......"

Thinking of the girl ring who was tightly protected in front of her when she was beaten, Cui Yimei, who was originally a little timid, was also rarely bold: "Please forgive the people for being bold, the people really think that adults are a little unfair!" ”

"Hmph," the princess snorted disdainfully: "That maid is just a cheap maid, do you really dare to let the concubine pay for her life?" ”

"Princess," the princess's words made Lord Bao feel very uncomfortable, and Cui Yimei's instructions made Lord Bao's psychology under tremendous pressure: "Words ......"

"Okay, this palace still has something to say." The princess directly interrupted Lord Bao's words: "Bao Zheng, this palace wants you to give an order, and in the future, he is not allowed to ......"

The princess pointed to Cui Yi, who was kneeling on the ground: "Mention the matter of saving the life of the colt again; Moreover, they had to move out of the colt's hometown immediately. ”

"Princess," Zhan Zhao looked at the princess and said awe-inspiringly, "This is inevitably difficult for some strong people!" ”

"Zhanzhao, it's not your turn to interject here!" The princess glared at Zhan Zhao before she looked at Master Bao: "Also, she ......"

The princess pointed at Cui Yimei and said, "Bao Zheng, this palace wants you to punish her for offending the horse, colliding with the horse, and slandering the horse?" ”

Looking at the princess's resolute look, Lord Bao frowned tightly: "Princess, your request is a little too much!" ”

"Huh, excessive?" The princess's face showed a hideous look: "Isn't it too much for you to put the horses in prison?" ”

The princess then turned to Liu Ying again: "Donkey, you say it yourself, what do you want to do with the Cui family?" ”

"This ......"

"How?" The princess looked at Liu Ying coldly: "Could it be that you are still reluctant to do it?" ”

"What did the princess say?" Liu Ying's face was full of flattering smiles: "However, it's just two minions, what do I have to be reluctant to." One qiē, but the princess is in charge. ”

"Okay, you're sensible." The princess nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, Bao Zheng, you can directly kill the girl surnamed Cui; As for the old man surnamed Cui, Bengong showed mercy and spared his life. ”

"Princess ......"

"Bao Zheng," the princess looked at Lord Bao angrily, "Do you want to resist the decree?" ”
