Zhanzhao held an umbrella, entered the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, said hello to the official guarding the door, felt empty in his stomach, and simply went to the kitchen again, and reluctantly ate a bowl of noodle soup made by Aunt Meng.

The food in Kaifeng Mansion has always been not very good, not to the poor treatment, His Majesty is benevolent, and he is also considerate to officials, and his Majesty is very high, that is, His Majesty also gave a lot of tribute rice last month, and there is no shortage of rice, flour, grain and oil, but Kaifeng Mansion has many places to spend money, and often has to help the people, and Baofutai is not fond of appetite, and randomly recruited the lonely and widowed Aunt Meng to cook...... Everyone had to make do with it.

At first, the old servant in the family was always moved to tears because he could be on an errand in the yamen, but later because he was often injured, he began to persuade him to go home quickly, marry a wife and have children.

He didn't think so, he was not on an errand because of those fame and fortune, all for Kuang Fu Bao Gong, naturally fearless, but recently he often felt that if he could satisfy his appetite a little, maybe he would live faster when he was on an errand.

However, I don't eat it often anyway, so it's okay.

After eating noodles, Zhan Xiongfei went to find Bao Zheng and Mr. Gongsun to work, although the food was not very good, but the courtiers still had to do their best to worry about the king, which was shown in his Zhan someone's place, that is, all year round, hard work, civil and military affairs, but also to go to the palace on time as an errand and be his imperial guard.

Bao Zheng and Mr. Gongsun were both in the study, they had just been promoted to the hall, and they were still wearing purple regular clothes, and their expressions were a little solemn.

"That little lady Chen doesn't seem to be lying, her maid Ah Zheng is a loyal person, and she is not a liar, this case needs to be investigated in detail."

While speaking, Zhanzhao entered the house, sat down and drank a cup of tea, and then took the lychee handed over by Mr. Gongsun and peeled it off, before slowly and carefully explaining what he had found.

"Chen Xiaoniang's style is excellent, that day in Xu Yuanwai's house, a few little ladies enjoy the flowers and write poems, Chen Xiaoniang's poems were rated first, and then drank a few more glasses of wine, because the wine is up, this is the excuse to change clothes, quit to rest...... As for the murder weapon, it was really hers. ”

Jewelry like these specially created ones usually has markings on them, and whoever it should be is whom, and there will be no fakes.

Gongsun Ce thought thoughtfully: "But she said that although the hairpin was her beloved thing, she accidentally lost it early that morning, and the few little ladies sitting at the same table also said that she didn't see her wearing it at that time." ”

"Little Lady Chen has a cousin, who is the niece of her stepmother, and she brought her back to the Chen family to live. Zhan Zhao frowned, hesitated and said softly.

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Xiongfei suspects that cousin?" ”

"If Chen Xiaoniang is really not a murderer, I am afraid that the only people who can get her hairpin are close to her."

These words almost showed that he was suspicious of the cousin, but when Zhan Zhao said it, he was somewhat concealed, and Gongsun Ce smiled unconsciously and sighed: "Xiongfei is a true gentleman." "Although he has been in the public for some years, Zhanzhao is still a bodhisattva, because the other party is a woman, if there is no evidence, he will say that he is suspicious, and he always feels inappropriate, after all, it is a girl, in case there is a little mistake, ruining his reputation, it is ruining his life.

Discuss the facts of the case in front of your own people, just say it, you really need to be cautious in your words and deeds outside, and you must not disclose it at will, not only for the sake of the case, but more importantly, you are worried that if you are innocent, you will be suspected of it, and it will cause gossip, which is really wronged.

"Xia Guan went to Xu Yuan's house again, there were people coming and going that day, and there were countless servants under him, so he might be able to find some clues...... Also, Xu Xiucai was not invited, whether he sneaked in privately, or for other reasons, why he appeared at Xu Yuanwai's house is doubtful! ”

As he was talking, the sound of drums outside sounded.

Bao Zheng looked solemn, got up, and went to the hall with his right arm.

If it is in other prefectures, it is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to sue, and they have to be stripped of three layers of skin inside and out, and they may not be able to see the prefect, but it is different in Kaifeng.

First, this place is Tokyo, and the proud people of Tokyo don't even sell the emperor's face, all of them have a heart, and secondly, Bao Zheng is quite close to the people, regardless of whether he also advocates strict punishment and strict laws in real history, but at this time, he is a kind mayor.

A while ago, a certain Tokyo resident lost a tanuki cat at home, and also came to Kaifeng Mansion to ask for help, but as a last resort, Zhanzhao took the four lieutenants, Zhang, Zhao, Wang, and Ma, with the tanuki picture painted by Mr. Gongsun, posted it everywhere, tossed it for several days, and finally caught the cat back from the warehouse of a grain merchant.

It can be seen that despite Bao Zheng's high status, the threshold of Kaifeng Mansion is not high.

Bao Zhenggao sat on it, waited for a long time, the person who beat the drum and sang the grievances was still not seen, Gongsun Ce glanced at him, just wanted to get up to explore the situation, and saw the guards sounding the drums, and the little official who was guarding the door trotted, ran up to the lobby, and stammered: "Fuzun, there is a woman outside, beating the drum and sounding the grievances......"

"Tell me about it."

Bao Zheng felt strange in his heart, and his face was still silent.

The little official trembled, his face was pale, and he hesitated for a while, "...... The woman refused to enter the door, but only said that she wanted a letter from the minister-in-law, and she was allowed to enter the palace, and she would not enter. ”

Bao Zheng: "......"

This request is very strange, but in the past few days of sitting in Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng and a few of his subordinates have many requirements for the small people in Tokyo, which is not strange, and they can't be satisfied with it, if it doesn't matter, cough cough, it really doesn't matter.

Bao Zheng thought about it, Mr. Gongsun came over to spread the paper for him, took the pen and ink, and he casually wrote down the words such as allowing the woman to enter the door with the drumming and singing, and handed it to the little official, who seemed to be a little crying without tears, but still took the paper and respectfully withdrew.

There was no one in the hall, and there were cronies on the left and right, so Bao Zheng didn't hold a shelf, and said with a smile: "Today's person who has complained about grievances is held specially, maybe it's a new thing!" ”

is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, equivalent to the mayor of Tokyo, in charge of the people's livelihood in Gyeonggi Province, busy with official business, but still has a heart that is keen on gossip, in short, in addition to dealing with big and important cases, occasionally dealing with some strange small cases, in fact, it can be regarded as leisure.

can't blame Bao Gong for not being solemn enough, in fact, if there is always a heartstring, which is not conducive to physical health, he should learn to adjust his mood when he is on an errand in Kaifeng Mansion.

After a while, a woman entered.

Bao Cheng's face changed, and when he looked down, the woman was slender, with shaved shoulders and a thin waist, wearing only a willow green dress and pink embroidered shoes. The complexion is white and transparent, with some sorrow and anxiety on the face, the eyes are red and swollen, and the heart is soft, as a woman, especially an unmarried woman, she is reluctant to go to court, the day before yesterday, the little lady of the Chen family was also wandering outside the door for a long time, before she mustered up the courage to come, presumably this little lady also had to come.

"Whoever is appointed by the church shall be named."

Bao Zheng's voice was also three or five degrees lower.

The woman said softly: "The little girl's surname is Fang, she is in the third line of the family, a person from Shuzhong, and now lives with her aunt, and her uncle's surname is Chen, and she is doing grain trading in Bianliang. ”

Oh, the little lady of the Fang family...... Ay?
