CHAPTER XXV

Seeing that he didn't care, Bai Zhengan breathed a sigh of relief. It just so happened that the rice bucket came to find someone, and he took the initiative to approach again, took on the task of holding Su Jin, and introduced the person into the way: "Let's talk while walking."

It turned out to be nothing more than a Zhuangzi tenant who brought his son to the city this morning to fight the autumn breeze. Before the clinker opened the door, I heard a faint cry in the distance, and the mourning relatives were very infiltrating.

The two glanced at each other, thinking about the eldest baby who was studying hard at home, cheered each other up, and approached the door. The door was unlocked, and when I pushed it, the cry seemed to be in my ears, accompanied by the dawn of the sun.

The two of them walked in search of the cry, but in a few steps they saw the white hem behind the dry well, and the tenant picked up a branch and poked the man lightly.

But when the man looked up, his face was covered with blood. The two of them were instantly frightened, landed on the ground, looked up, and saw an upright figure in front of the door.

The two couldn't suppress their panic, and crawled out screaming and urinating, waking up everyone around, which attracted officials.

It happened that the chief steward Bai came to collect the rent, and the tenant woman on the village waited for a long time, so she entertained the chief steward Bai with good food and begged him to delay for a while.

Uncle Bai thought that the prince went out today, and he had nothing to do, so he stayed and assisted the homework of the assistant baby by the way. Later, when the yamen sent someone to come, Uncle Bai heard about a murder case, so he hurriedly sent a rice bucket to look for them.

"It's nothing, it's just oolong." Bai Zhengan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Luckily, it's just an oolong." After hearing this, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.

Although he has not been friends with Bai Zhengan for a long time, he has always called his brother and hoped that he would be well.

Bai Zhengan also nodded: "That being said, it's just that I just messed up your trip, and I'm very sorry."

Bai Zheng'an, whose identity was revealed, became inexplicably polite, and Su Jin unnaturally tightened his shoulders and frowned, not knowing how to answer.

But he said retrospectively: "I'm sorry, I can't talk about it verbally, at the wrong moment, you have to cover our board and lodging." Then he glanced at him defiantly, and said, "This is your apology, don't say anything about throwing my burden into the dog hole."

Bai Zhengan smiled, the heavy boulder in his heart was finally completely unloaded, and with his empty hand, he patted it back and said, "Got it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

When he came to the door, the door of this house was already leaning loosely against the wall, and Su Jin looked at Bai Zhengan suspiciously.

The rice bucket on the side smiled and explained: "It was the tenant who was in a hurry and crashed it."

"That is, when the tenants come, this door is good?" Su Jin asked.

Bai Zhengan looked up and thought for a moment, then nodded affirmatively: "Yes." Then he explained: "I was interrogated by the Yamen, and I was on the side."

Su Jin nodded in understanding. is also, after all, on the bright side, Bai Zhengan is the person with the highest status at present. The person who reported the crime was his, and it was not too much for him to ask a few words.

Su Jin pulled the corner of her skirt and crossed the threshold according to Bai Zhengan. Surprisingly, the yard was also a mess. The little cured meat that I had prepared at home was hanging in the courtyard brightly, and some of it was obviously outdated. The clothes and pants that had been washed were piled up at the foot of the house.

In the courtyard, several dusty wooden chairs were placed in a haphazard manner, and some had even been pushed to the ground. The table was shortened and turned over.

Bai Zhengan explained in a timely manner: "According to the people around him, the deceased has recently become addicted to gambling, and he has sold all the valuable things in his home.

Su Jin noticed that according to the courtyard, in addition to these worthless tables and chairs, almost nothing was seen in the side dishes of every household, and even the kitchen utensils were not seen in the kitchen next to the house.
