With the cessation of these murders, Yangzhou City finally calmed down, the murderer seemed to have disappeared, and the people in the city gradually returned to normal life.

And Wang Jun and the four of them, in order to take care of Li Xiaoyao, whose injuries had not yet recovered, were afraid that the murderer hiding in the shadows would make a sneak attack, so they also hid in Mingyue Tower without leaving for a step.

In the lobby of Mingyue Building, Wang Jun and the five of them were sitting together eating lunch, and when they listened to the guests at the table next to them, Zhao Wu said, "Brother Su, have you listened?" I heard that Wu Laosi and Master Bao next door had already arrived in Qingyuan County next door, and as soon as they got there, they thoroughly investigated an unjust case. ”

Su San glanced around, lowered his voice and said: "I also listened, it seems that the son is unfilial and good at gambling, and his parents were almost beaten to death for gambling money. ”

"Lord Bao is really a famous Qing, it would be nice if I Zhao Guo had more Bao Darao Qing officials, but compared to the past, our life is much better, now the Holy Son is in the hall, the court is clear, although there are still some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but I no longer want to blatantly oppress the people in the past." Another guest, Zheng Si, said with a hint of drunken red on his face.

"By the way, will you Lord Bao come to our Yangzhou City?" Su San asked with a serious face.

Zheng Si grabbed the hand of the wine glass for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It should come!" There is a big city in Yangzhou nearby, and since Lord Bao has arrived in Qingyuan County, he has to take a look.

So it's definitely coming, but I don't know when I'm coming. ”

Zhao Wu was a little expectant, and said with a hint of fear: "I really hope that Lord Bao can come earlier, otherwise if we kill the murderers of those families, we will have no power to fight back." ”

Zheng Si drank a glass of wine depressedly, smiled bitterly, sighed helplessly, and said: "This can't be helped, if we are people, we can protect ourselves together, but I heard that the murderer is not a person at all, he is a ghost." ”

Su Sanyi's face was full of pride when he heard this, shook his head, and said, "You are wrong, the fourth child, who is the murderer, I heard some inside information from my cousin who caught the fast." ”

Zhao Wu said anxiously: "Brother Su, look at who the murderer is, my brother is really curious." ”

Zheng Si also said: "Yes, third brother, my brother also wants to hear it." ”

Su San looked at the two of them and didn't speak, just flicked the empty wine pot with his fingers, pretended to be regretful, smacked his lips, and said, "Zizi, how much effort did you drink, but there was no wine." ”

Zhao Wu and Zheng Si looked at each other and smiled, where did they not understand what Su San meant, Zheng Si rushed to the two in front of the counter and shouted: "Lao Liu, bring us another pot of wine, and I Zheng Si will have a treat today." ”

Su San smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Brother, brother is grateful." ”

Zhao Wu hurriedly said: "Brother Su, don't do this, you are still a murderer!" ”

"The wine is here, the three guest officers, please use it slowly." Lao Liu carried a pot of wine and bent down on the table.

Zheng Si picked up the wine jug, filled Su San's wine glass, and said with a smile: "Third brother, this wine is here, you can too!" ”

Su San took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, "ah", and said, "Good wine." ”

"You also know that I have a brother who works in the mansion, and when I heard him, although all the people at the scene of the crime were dead in the first few times, so no one saw the appearance of the murderer, but a few years ago, Yan Mansion was rescued by two heroes, and many people survived at that time.

According to their murderer, they are very similar to Zhao Qianrong, the second wife of the Li family, and it is likely that the people of the Li family have come back for revenge. ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces immediately turned terrified, and Zhao Wu sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that the Li family came back then, if it hadn't offended Qin Yong, a corrupt official, with the good deeds implemented by the Li family back then, how many people in the city would have received their favor." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of Sanrao was suddenly depressed, Zheng Si seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Su San and asked a little seriously: "Speaking of this, I remember that Brother Su was also present back then, and it was also at that time that Su Li appeared, Brother Su, your family is really the only seedling of the Li family!" ”

Su San's eyes flashed with a trace of worry, and the glass in his hand was placed heavily on the table with a "snap" sound, and he said expressionlessly: "How many times have I been with you, I am my illegitimate son, if you say these words again, our brothers will have nothing to do." ”

After that, regardless of the two rao's retention, he raised his leg and left.

Zhao Wu glared at Zheng Si, and said angrily: "It's not that you don't know that Li is the lifeblood of Brother Su, why don't you have anything to say, you have to mention this stubble." ”

Zheng Si looked at Su San's back and sighed: "You don't know, those jackals in the city have been looking for the young master of the Li family, I'm not afraid of dragging down the third brother!" ”

"Forget it, forget it, don't mention these headaches, let's continue drinking." Zhao Wu waved his hand and said.

.........

Wang Jun looked at Zhao Ling'er and the four of them, quietly pointed to the table next door, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhao Ling'er pondered for a moment and said, "Judging from what we heard and saw, I'm afraid it's really the Li family who is taking revenge, but I don't know who did it." ”

Wang Jun noticed Li Xiaoyao's thoughtful appearance and asked, "Xiaoyao, what do you think?" ”

Li Xiaoyao still looked thoughtful, and subconsciously replied: "The Su Li in the mouth of the three of them should be the orphan of the Li family, and it may be a clue." ”

As soon as the words were finished, Li Xiaoyao came to his senses, looked at the four of them, and said, "What's wrong with you, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Lin Yueru held her chin in one hand, glared at Li Xiaoyao, and teased: "I didn't expect you to have a brain and find a clue so quickly." ”

"Who are you, wicked girl? This hero is a wise and brave Li hero, why can't he find clues. Li Xiaoyao said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Jun said helplessly: "Okay, don't quarrel between the two of you, do you still want to participate in this matter?" Could it be that you don't want revenge? ”

When the two heard this, they said in unison: "Of course, we don't share the murderer, and we will definitely catch him." ”

Wang Jun nodded and asked, "Xiaoyao, how is your injury?" ”

Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought that Wang Jun planned to arrange for him to prepare for revenge, patted his chest vigorously, and said: "Brother Wang, don't worry, my injury is almost healed, even if I go up the mountain to fight the tiger now, I will no longer have to worry about going down to the sea to capture the dragon." ”

Lin Yueru looked at Li Xiaoyao with dissatisfied eyes, and said: "You will also talk big, let me stay in the inn before my health is well, and I am not allowed to go anywhere." ”

Wang Jun laughed when he heard this, and said: "Xiaoyao saw it, Yueru still cares about you very much, but Yueru, please rest assured, I won't let you do anything dangerous, but I just want you to check the origin of Na Su Li to see if he has anything to do with the murderer." ”

Zhao Ling'er immediately understood what Wang Jun meant, if the person named Su Li was really a descendant of the Li family, it was impossible for the murderer not to pay attention to Su Li, as long as he followed Su Li, it was very likely to find the whereabouts of the murderer, and said: "Brother Wang Jun, I understand yours, but Brother Xiaoyao, they are not very dangerous!" ”

Wang Jun smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: "Ling'er, you think too much, I don't need Li Xiaoyao and the two of them to deal with the murderer, as long as they secretly follow Su Li, if they really meet the murderer, they will temporarily retreat to avoid fighting the murderer." ”

Li Xiaoyao didn't understand what they should do when he heard this, nodded and said, "I understand, what we have to do is to follow Su Li, and if we encounter the murderer, we can temporarily retreat." ”

I heard Lao Liu at the door and shouted: "Are you sharp, two guest officers, or are you staying in the hotel?" ”

Gongsun Ce touched his beard and said with a smile: "Dajian, bring us a few dishes, and then a drawer of steamed buns." ”

"Okay, please come inside." Lao Liu arrived enthusiastically.

Wang Jun's ears moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the door of Mingyue Tower, and saw Gongsun Ce and Zhang Long dressed as Jianghu Langzhong walking inside, stood up, beckoned, and shouted: "Gongsun Ce, Zhang Long hasn't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet the two of you here, just come over to eat together." ”

Gongsun Ce felt that when he saw Wang Jun in Mingyue Tower, he was expected, and it was unreasonable, after all, they were summoned by Wang Jun to Yangzhou, and they would definitely meet Wang Jun.

In addition to the reason, Gongsun Ce never thought that he would meet Wang Jun so soon, he originally thought that Wang Jun would live in the mansion or a big family in Hangzhou City, but he didn't expect Wang Jun and the others to live in the inn.

Gongsun Ce dropped the second shop, hurriedly walked to Wang Jun's table, clenched his fists, and said, "Master Wang, is it okay for Madam not to see her for many days?" ”

Zhang Long also saluted respectfully and said, "Master Wang, madam." ”

"Get up! Since we happen to meet today, let's have a light meal together. Wang Jun pointed to the vacant seat opposite and said. Come on, don't be afraid to sit. ”

Gongsun Ce bowed his hand slightly, and said: "Thank you Master Wang, and ask Master Wang to forgive your sins, Gongsun Ce and Zhang Long are rude." ”

With that, Gongsun Ce sat down respectfully, looking worried.

"Xiaoyao, you go and let Er add a few more dishes." Wang Jun turned his head to Li Xiaoyao and said.

Li Xiaoyao nodded when he heard this, got up and went to find the busy shop No. 2, and ordered a few more dishes.

Wang Jun noticed that Gongsun Ce and Zhang Long were a little nervous, and their whole bodies were tense, and laughed: "You don't have to be so nervous, I won't eat you." ”

Gongsun Ce nodded slightly, and said silently in his heart: "You won't eat us, but it's not okay to stay with you without being nervous, it's not like a tiger to accompany you."

Although Gongsun Ce thought so in his heart, he said: "The two of us are qualified to eat with Master Wang and Mrs. Wang today, so Gongsun Ce is not nervous, on the contrary, the two of us feel very excited." ”

Zhang Long nodded hurriedly and said, "What Mr. Gongsun said is extremely true, we are just excited. ”

Wang Jun smiled slightly and didn't say anything, how could he not tell what was nervous and what was excited, his voice changed, and he asked: "Gongsun Ce, where are the others of Bao Heizi now?" Why did the two of you come to Yangzhou City? ”

For his own adult Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce still has great respect in his heart, and he doesn't dare to call Bao Heizi like Wang Jun, so he stammered: "Back to Master Wang, Bao... Package Black... Master Bao is still in Qingyuan County. ”

Halfway through, Gongsun Ce still called Master Bao at the last moment, and Wang Jun didn't care about it, but when he heard that Bao Zheng was still frowning in Qingyuan County, his voice couldn't help but be three points lower, and said: "If I'm not mistaken, my words should be to let Bao Zheng rush to Yangzhou City as soon as possible, why is he still staying in Qingyuan County at this time?" ”

Although Wang Jun's tone was a little cold, and he was still full of smiles, Gongsun Ce and Zhang Long felt that in the face of a vicious tiger with a bloody mouth, the hairs on their bodies instantly stood up, knowing that this time the answer was not good, Bao Zheng's position in Wang Jun's heart was really going to be greatly reduced, and maybe they would be imprisoned in the name of resisting the decree and disrespecting.

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he hurriedly explained, "Master Wang, you really misunderstood.

Lord Bao originally rushed to Yangzhou City as soon as he received your order in Bailu City, and happened to encounter a gambling house case in Qingyuan County that needed to be dealt with, and the case was officially closed yesterday.

Originally, Lord Bao was going to come to Yangzhou City overnight, but he was dissuaded by Gongsun Ce, because Bao Darao's appearance was too peculiar and not conducive to finding clues, so Gongsun Ce suggested that he come to Yangzhou after three, and these three were left to me and Zhanzhao to find clues. ”

Although Bao Zheng stayed in Qingyuan County to investigate the case, Wang Jun was still dissatisfied.

No matter how Bao Zheng's behavior is disrespectful, if he is not punished today, more people will definitely learn from his methods in the future.

Zhao Ling'er naturally sensed Wang Jun's dissatisfaction and persuaded: "Brother Wang Jun, first of all, he is an honest official, not afraid of the powerful, and often calls the shots for the people who shout grievances, and the people all respect him."

It is also a well-known thing that Lord Bao is loyal to you, and Lord Bao stayed in Qingyuan County to investigate the murder case in Yangzhou City, not for any personal gain.

Brother Wang Jun should be more magnanimous and expose this matter. ”

Although Zhao Ling'er is very reasonable, but this matter is related to his authority and cannot be punished, but after Zhao Ling'er's persuasion, the dissatisfaction in his heart also dissipated, and he thought about it: "Although Bao Zheng stayed in Qingyuan County for the purpose of investigating the case, the will I gave him was to let him come to Yangzhou City after all, and in the end, it still can't change the time when Bao Zheng resisted the will and disrespected."

Gongsun Ce personally passed on the edict that Bao Zheng stayed in Qingyuan County for no reason, and he couldn't rush to Yangzhou City in time, no matter how he couldn't change the fact that he was disrespectful.

Bao Zheng, a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, was demoted from the second grade to the second grade, and at the same time deprived of the post of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and changed it to the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and was fined for half a year. ”

When Gongsun Ce heard Wang Jun's will, he could only secretly sigh that he had a big skirt, and he knew that he should write a recital and report to Wang Jun first. Originally, it wasn't a problem, but because he led the city first, Wang Jun misunderstood that Lord Bao was disrespectful, but now it has become a fact and can't be changed.

After thinking about it, at least it is better than sending Bao Zheng to prison and pushing him to the vegetable market to behead him in the name of resisting the decree and disrespecting the decree, at least now it is only half a downgrade and a fine of half a year.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce got up, arched his hand at Wang Jun, and said with a bitter face: "Gongsun Ce obeys the order." ”
