"I've really come less these days." Yun Sheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Zhang Tong looked at Yun Sheng up and down, and sighed: "Why don't you come less, you didn't come at all, I just thought, my lord ran to the yamen every day, and he didn't want to touch those trivial cases in the past, he didn't look for you, and he handled them all by himself." ”

Yun Sheng listened, and could even imagine what kind of expression Zhang Jiusheng had when he was dealing with those cases.

"Don't you see, the expression of the adults is like they want to eat people, and none of the kneeling people in the hall dare to say more." Zhang Tong said that he almost didn't learn so much before Yun Sheng.

But looking at Yun Sheng's expression, he didn't seem to be much happier, Zhang Tong's momentum slowly slowed down, he took a bite of the snack in his hand, sat down on the steps again, beckoned Yun Sheng to sit down together, and said, "You and adults, have you quarreled recently?" In the past, you went in and out together, and you were almost inseparable. But lately, I can see the adults, but I can't see you, and I can see you, but I can't see the adults. ”

Yun Sheng shook her head, she didn't know how to explain to Zhang Tong, she didn't know how to face Zhang Jiusheng now, what to say, or to explain that she didn't have anything to say to Xiao Hengyan, but everything in the past few days showed that Yun Sheng's attention to Xiao Hengyan had far exceeded that of Zhang Jiusheng.

Even if Zhang Jiusheng didn't say anything, Yun Sheng thought about it now, and he couldn't stand Zhang Jiusheng, it was a feeling like betraying his benefactor.

"You see, you came to the yamen today, but the adults didn't come, and the adults didn't say what he was going to do." Zhang Tong sat on the steps, bored, he seemed to talk casually, but he had been observing Yun Sheng's expression: "The adult seems to be very busy recently, come to the yamen in the morning to see, if there is nothing wrong, he will leave, and he will not come back until the evening, and he will not come back until the evening, and he will be exhausted when he comes back several times, and he will not ask or say, I don't know what the adult is busy with." ”

Yun Sheng muttered, "I don't know either." ”

"If you really haven't quarreled with the adult, then you go back to find the adult, we can't help much, and I don't know how to solve the problem for the adult. Adults used to listen to you a lot, and it is more useful for you to say it than for us to say it. ”

Yun Sheng nodded, sat on the steps, and thought wildly. However, she really should have a good chat with Zhang Jiusheng, to see what he has been busy with recently, not to mention the yamen, even Zhang Mansion has been in and out of the house, and he vaguely remembers that there were a few days when he even lived in Baishitang.

Suddenly, Yun Sheng stood up, and Zhang Tong looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”

"I'll go ask the eldest young master." Yun Sheng patted his clothes, turned his head and smiled at Zhang Tong, and took the same piece of pastry before leaving.

Not long after Yun Sheng left, Zhang Jiusheng came to the yamen.

The two passed by, they didn't see each other, Zhang Tong was startled when he saw Zhang Jiusheng, he was unkempt, his body seemed to exude some kind of indescribable smell, his sleeves were torn, and not far behind him followed Guan Chu, who looked unconcerned, from head to toe was filled with a murderous aura, as if someone owed him a million taels of silver.

"How...... What's wrong with this? Zhang Tong put down the pastry tremblingly and leaned over.

Zhang Jiusheng didn't say anything with a gloomy face, took off his coat and threw it aside, then sat on the edge of the well and began to scoop water and wash his face.

Seeing that Zhang Jiusheng didn't speak, Zhang Tong turned his head to look at Guan Chu, but saw Guan Chu sigh, and he was silent and didn't speak, this can be anxious for Zhang Tong, looking at the entire Fan County, who has the courage to fight the county order, even if Xiao Ting'an is alive, he won't dare to make trouble if he is given one hundred and twenty dares?

Zhang Tong came to Zhang Jiusheng, bent over, hung his head, and took a closer look at Zhang Jiusheng's face, fortunately, he didn't break his appearance, but he looked dirty.

"My lord, where did you come from?" Zhang Tong asked again.

"Garbage heap." Zhang Jiusheng replied angrily.

"Huh? Did you go to the garbage dump for clues? ”

"In order to avoid the people who were being pursued, the adults had to hide in the garbage heap, otherwise they could come back in a good manner?" Guan Chu held the official knife and leaned his back against the wall, as long as he thought of that scene, he couldn't get angry, and he really wanted to call a dozen brothers to tie up the group of unreasonable Diao people and put them in prison for a good lesson.

"The people who are chasing?" Zhang Tong was confused.

It turned out that Zhang Jiusheng went to the streets and alleys with Xiao Hengyan's portrait again today, but this time he was not as lucky as the previous times.

This time, the street he went to, although it was still some distance away from Xiao Mansion, but because Xiao Hengyan had walked on that street many times, the people there were quite impressed by Xiao Hengyan, and it was precisely because of this that Zhang Jiusheng had the courage to go. It is said that when a girl was walking on the street, she was favored by Xiao Hengyan and forcibly dragged home, and the girl was later humiliated and jumped into the well and died.

Zhang Jiusheng didn't know these things.

Because he was pressed down by Xiao Ting'an with money, and the Xiao family was slaughtered, after Lu Zhi's mouth, it had already been spread in the streets, and the people in the streets and alleys naturally applauded, and it can be seen that Zhang Jiusheng took the portrait to inquire about Xiao Hengyan, and thought it was a relative of the Xiao family, so naturally he didn't have a good face, and he was even more angry, so he picked up the things at hand and smashed them at Zhang Jiusheng. It was also Zhang Jiusheng who reacted quickly and dodged, otherwise, he might have to make an opening on the spot.

After the first few closed doors, Zhang Jiusheng knew that it was difficult to ask for clues, but he didn't expect that it would involve his own personal safety, those strong men who looked taller and more powerful than him hit him with shovels and sticks without saying a word, so scared that Zhang Jiusheng had to hide around with his portrait.

Finally, while Guan Chu was passing by with more than a dozen fast catchers patrolling, Zhang Jiusheng suddenly rushed into the fast catcher pile, Guan Chu's eyes were sharp, and he recognized him when he saw Zhang Jiusheng rushing over, and then he saw more than a dozen people chasing behind him, all of them were fierce and vicious, as if they were going to eat Zhang Jiusheng.

Guan Chu reacted quickly, and immediately led his subordinates to stop the group of people, and Zhang Jiusheng took advantage of this time to hide in the small alley on the side, but he didn't expect that there would be a garbage heap inside. Zhang Jiusheng almost didn't look at it, he didn't know what he stepped on, he fell down, and when he got up again, he was in a mess.

Zhang Qiye is right, the murderer is holding the handle that the Xiao family has done evil things, so that the people will not confess him even if they have clues, so that the government is in a predicament, maybe when the government catches him, he will also use the people's leisurely mouth to force the government to let him live.

Zhang Jiusheng closed his eyes, his eyelids were hot, he had never felt so sad about handling a case.

"My lord......" Guan Chu called softly.

"Say."

"The people are unwise, they don't know the case clearly, they don't know the murderer deeply, you ......"

"I understand." Without waiting for Guan Chu to finish speaking, Zhang Jiusheng opened his eyes and said: "I didn't intend to blame them, and I can't blame them either, it's the murderer who is too cunning, and I'm too useless." ”

"My lord, we can think of other ways." Guan Chu proposed.

Zhang Jiusheng turned his head, and the water fell down his wet hair drop by drop: "What method?" ”

"Now the people are extremely excited about the Xiao family's murder case, and they all feel that it is the murderer who is eliminating harm for the people. And now you are asking around about Xiao Hengyan with great fanfare, and you have no intention of pouring oil on this fire, and after a few days, when the mood of the people goes down, you will go to the street again and inquire at will. ”

Zhang Tong also nodded, after listening to it for a long time, he had already guessed what Zhang Jiusheng was doing in the past few days, and he had to let Yun Sheng know, if Yun Sheng knew, she would definitely go with her, just Yun Sheng's small body and bones could not withstand such a toss, and when he met a bad temper, where could Yun Sheng hide.

"My lord, I think Guan Zhutou's words are reasonable." Zhang Tong took a dry towel out of the house, handed it to Zhang Jiusheng, and continued: "The people now think that the murderer is a righteous hero, and they will naturally help him, so let's let some words out in a few days, for example, those innocent subordinates in the Xiao Mansion, as well as the innocent concubines, it is clear that only Xiao Ting'an and his son have done wrong, why kill other people in the Xiao Mansion?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng nodded, and Guan Chu also catered to it: "Indeed, the people flow with the water, and now that the wind is like this, someone must have said something." ”

"Lu Zhi." Zhang Jiusheng blurted out.

From the very beginning, it was Lu Zhi who revealed the case before the government blocked the news. As for what he said among the people, and whether he added fuel to it, no one knows at all but himself.

And this person is outside of any possibility.

Zhang Jiusheng couldn't wait to slap himself, how could he exclude Lu Zhi?

Yes, Lu Zhi's sense of existence is extremely low, and when he talks to people, it is common sense that he can't help but say it, but Zhang Jiusheng never thought that there might be a conspiracy in this, until today he saw that those people almost wanted to kill him, and the inexplicable hatred in his eyes made him feel cold in his heart.

He clenched his fists, his eyebrows were swirling, he was calculated.

"Okay, let's rest for two days."

"Then my lord, do I still take my brothers to find Young Master Xiao?" Guan Chu asked.

Zhang Jiusheng thought for a while: "Looking for it, but you don't need to be so energetic about it, just walk around and ask casually, and you should deal with the errand." ”

Guan Chu's eyes lit up: "Glad." ”

Zhang Tong followed: "Then my lord, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng looked Zhang Tong up and down, and said, "You boil some water for Lord Ben, it stinks, Lord Ben wants to take a bath here." ”
