The uncle babbled a lot, but Zhang Jiusheng didn't listen, he wiped the apple with his sleeve, and when he bit it, it was crunchy.

"Uncle, do you know where the beggar lives?" Yun Sheng glanced at Zhang Jiusheng, and when he looked like that, he knew that he was going to start being a shopkeeper again.

originally thought that after the Hongdou case, Zhang Jiusheng would take her to slowly start investigating the case, but now it seems that this kid is still fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and this enthusiasm comes up quickly, and even the words he just said are forgotten in a blink of an eye.

Now it seems that this fruit seller is more reliable than Zhang Jiusheng.

"Oh, now most of the beggars in our city live in the ruined temples in the east of the city."

Yun Sheng frowned: "This is the north of the city, how could the beggars in the east of the city come here?" ”

Unexpectedly, the uncle waved his hand and smiled: "Young man, you don't understand this, right?" Beggars, that is, as long as they wake up in the morning, they will beg all over the city, beg wherever they go, and sleep in a sheltered place at night. At present, in our Fan County, only the broken temple in the east of the city has not been completely demolished, so the beggars in the city basically sleep there at night. ”

Yun Sheng nodded as if he didn't understand, and after thanking his uncle, he raised his feet and prepared to go there, only when he heard the footsteps behind him did he remember that there was another Zhang Jiusheng, but when he turned around, he saw that he had finished eating the apple, and followed behind with a smile.

"Adult, the little one is going to the east of the city to break the temple to investigate the case, are you following?"

"Naturally, Lord Ben wants to see if you're lazy." Zhang Jiusheng said with a serious face, but in exchange for Yun Sheng's eyes.

The road from the Qingci Academy in the north of the city to the broken temple in the east of the city adds up to a distance of about four streets, which may not be too far for ordinary people, but for Yun Sheng, it is not a short distance, Zhang Jiusheng followed behind, listening to Yun Sheng's breathing getting heavier and heavier, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Zhang Jiusheng touched the medicine in his arms, which was given to him by Zhang Qiye before he left Baishitang. However, this is a new medicine, and it is not known how effective the medicine is, and Zhang Qiye does not dare to guarantee that Yun Sheng will react after eating it. Along the way, Zhang Jiusheng had been hesitating, hesitating whether to give this medicine to Yun Sheng, in fact, if she said not to take it, he would immediately throw away this medicine.

Finally, Yun Sheng, who was walking one step ahead without stopping, stopped and there was a tea stall not far in front of her.

"My lord, I'm a little tired, take a sip of tea."

Zhang Jiusheng looked at her, his face was faintly pale, and there were some fine beads of sweat on his face, seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Sheng automatically thought that he allowed it, so he walked straight to the tea stall, and poured a bowl for Zhang Jiusheng very intimately.

Zhang Jiusheng didn't speak, but just sat opposite Yun Sheng, watching Yun Sheng gulp tea, pinching his sleeves and wiping his sweat, he pinched the medicine bottle in his arms and was uneasy, maybe the expression on Zhang Jiusheng's face was too obvious, after Yun Sheng slowed down, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of him, and he came back to his senses.

"Huh? What's wrong? Feeling sick? ”

"My lord, you're a little absent-minded, what's wrong?"

Zhang Jiusheng tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, you rest, I'll go to the broken temple to have a look." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jiusheng stood up, and Yun Sheng hurriedly threw down a piece of broken silver when he saw it, and followed, so this tea stall was not far from the broken temple, and the two of them arrived after a few roundabouts.

Because it was daytime, there were only three or four old beggars with limited mobility lying in the ruined temple.

Zhang Jiusheng went to that station, and the old beggars lay there and hummed a few times, but he didn't hear it, Yun Sheng originally wanted to go in, but was blocked by Zhang Jiusheng's long arm.

"It's so dirty and messy inside, what are you doing in there?" Zhang Jiusheng glanced at her, and went in alone, wandering around inside without seeing the beggar described by the fruit seller, just when he was worried, he suddenly heard Yun Sheng shouting outside.

"Stop!"

Followed by a rush of footsteps, Zhang Jiusheng hurriedly ran out, only to see a beggar in ragged clothes who couldn't see what he looked like, slammed himself away, jumped on a broken wall behind him, and the next second he heard a muffled snort from the other side of the wall. Zhang Jiusheng reacted immediately, and chased after him as soon as his robe was lifted, Yun Sheng's body was weak, and he couldn't breathe after running a few steps, so he could only hold on to the wall and chase like a snail.

Not long after, Zhang Jiusheng had already returned with the beggar's collar.

threw the beggar in front of Yun Sheng, but saw that the beggar was trembling, very scared, desperately covering his face with his hair that had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, looking like he had a thin face and had not eaten for a long time and looked unsightly, Yun Sheng's first reaction was how could such a person be the murderer of Zhou Xuanming?

Zhang Jiusheng also had the same doubts, standing beside the beggar with his arms crossed, and gently poked the beggar with his toes, but the beggar suddenly screamed, hugged himself and shrank into the corner, which really startled the two of them.

"What's it called? Scare Lao Tzu! Zhang Jiusheng shouted, but as soon as he finished yelling, he immediately thought of Yun Sheng beside him, hurriedly turned his head, looked Yun Sheng up and down, and lowered his voice: "How is it?" Scared? Is it serious? ”

Yun Sheng was stunned and responded, "I'm fine." ”

Due to the tendency of the atmosphere to become embarrassing, Yun Sheng turned his head to look at the shivering beggar, squatted down in front of him slightly, and even wanted to reach out to remove the messy hair that covered the beggar's face, Zhang Jiusheng's eyes widened when he saw it, and immediately stepped forward to hold her wrist, not letting her touch the beggar, for fear that she would get something bad from the beggar.

"Just talk, don't move your hands and feet." Zhang Jiusheng warned softly, turning around and glaring at the beggar with a wicked expression.

Yun Sheng pursed his lips and said, "Why did you run when you saw us just now?" ”

Who knew that the beggar raised his head and said, "My legs are on me, I can run if I want, I can go when I want, can you manage it?" ”

"Hey! If you don't eat a board, you're not going to be honest, are you? Zhang Jiusheng raised one leg and was about to kick it, but the beggar immediately reflexively raised his arms to protect his head.

Yun Sheng grabbed Zhang Jiusheng and said to the beggar: "You speak well, we will never embarrass you." ”

The beggar raised his head and looked at Yun Sheng, who was relatively kind compared to Zhang Jiusheng, swallowed his saliva, and his tone was slightly better: "You...... What do you want to know? I haven't done anything, I've been at peace lately. ”

"Where were you on the night of July 14?"

"That night, I ......" the beggar's thin shoulders trembled: "I slept in the ruined temple, because the government was lonely during the day, and I received a lot of food, so I didn't go out at night, not to mention that it was in the middle of the Yuan, there was no one on the street, and I couldn't ask for food when I went." ”

Yun Sheng glanced at Zhang Jiusheng and asked, "Who can prove that you have been sleeping in the broken temple?" ”

"At that time, the ruined temple was full of beggars, and they all saw me."

"What about the second day? Where have you been? And what did you do? ”

The beggar thought about it, his eyes flickered suddenly, he opened his mouth, and wanted to say something several times, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, Yun Sheng squinted, and just wanted to get started, but was preempted by Zhang Jiusheng: "Stinky boy, you'd better be honest, otherwise I don't mind giving you something good to try!" ”

The beggar shook his shoulders and hurriedly said, "I...... I went to Mr. Zhou's house. ”

"He scolded you, so you went to get revenge?"

The beggar nodded, and then hurriedly explained: "But when I went, there was no one in his house, and I ...... I just casually walked along with something. ”

"You stand up." Yunsheng Road.

The beggar was only stunned for a moment, and then Zhang Jiusheng grabbed his shoulders and dragged him up, Yun Sheng's eyes were like eagles and falcons, and he carefully looked at the beggar thoroughly, and then shook his hand: "You go, you can live if you have hands and feet, you can find a serious job casually." ”

When the beggar heard Yun Sheng say this, he still couldn't believe it, hesitated a few times, and saw that Zhang Jiusheng didn't mean to stop him, and turned around and immediately stumbled and ran away.

"Just let it go, no more questions?" Zhang Jiusheng asked.

Yun Sheng shook his head, sighed, and said in the direction of the beggar's escape: "This beggar is skinny and less than seven feet tall, so it is impossible for him to wipe Mr. Zhou's neck easily. What's more, he almost disturbed Mr. Zhou's exit before, so Mr. Zhou would not talk to him calmly. ”

Zhang Jiusheng thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, there is another suspect." ”

"Who?"

"My lord! My lord! Suddenly, a slightly hurried voice came from behind them, and the two of them turned around together, but saw that it was Tie Wan from the yamen, running all the way, panting: "My lord, Master Yun is also there?" It's easy for me to find it. ”

"What's wrong?"

Tie Wan opened his mouth, and wanted to say it directly, but before he came, Guan Chu said that if Zhang Jiusheng had Yun Sheng by his side, he couldn't let Yun Sheng hear it.

He swallowed his saliva, walked to Zhang Jiusheng's side, covered his mouth with his hand, leaned into his ear and lowered his voice and said, "There are a few people in the rivers and lakes at the gate of the city who are making trouble. ”

"Why do you want to avoid me talking?" Yun Sheng was a little dissatisfied when he saw this posture.

Zhang Jiusheng glanced at her, and she was quiet, only to Tie Wan and said lightly: "You go first, and Lord Ben will come later." ”

"Okay." With that, Tie Wan arched his hand towards Yun Sheng and ran away.

Yun Sheng was about to speak, but he heard Zhang Jiusheng say, "Something happened, I have to solve it first." You go to Baishitang first, be careful on the road, and I will send someone to Baishitang to find you later. ”

"Then you ......"

"Don't worry about me, you go to Baishitang first." Zhang Jiusheng pushed Yun Sheng's back, Yun Sheng glanced back at him, there were too many things in that glance, Zhang Jiusheng just couldn't see it, and urged again: "Hurry up." ”
