Yun Sheng was just tired.

When Zhang Qiye said this, Zhang Tong thought that he was too old and had heard poorly.

But when he heard Zhang Qiye repeat it again, Zhang Tong couldn't wait to stuff the crazy self just now into the cracks in the ground, and it was better not to see people.

God knows how many people in Baishitang were watching him just now.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it is true, Yun Sheng followed Zhang Tonglu out of the yamen, and went to the moat in the east of the city without stopping.

For the average person, it may not be nothing. But for Yun Sheng at this time, it was a lot of exercise, and the lines at the bottom of those boots had an impact on Yun Sheng, so Yun Sheng couldn't withstand it for a while and fainted.

Zhang Tong sighed and sat on the steps at the door of the room, Zhang Qiye came over with a cup of hot tea and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry too much." ”

"Young Master, I'm ......" Zhang Tong stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Tell me, where have you been? What do you see? Zhang Qiye sat next to Zhang Tong and asked.

Zhang Tong glanced at him cautiously and said: "Recently, there was a murder in Yamen, a man named Chen Jinzhi was stabbed to death in the east of the city, and he fell into the moat and drowned for three or four days before being found. Yunsheng heard about this case and came to the yamen to say that he wanted to investigate with me, so we went to the scene of the crime today, and then went to Chen Jinzhi's house. ”

When Zhang Tong said this, he remembered the boots that Yun Sheng handed him before he fell unconscious just now, and hurriedly got up and looked around.

Fang was in a panic, and he didn't know where he put the boots, Zhang Qiye looked at him and immediately understood: "Are you looking for the boots you were carrying in your hand just now?" ”

"Yes!"

"You were in a hurry just now, and your boots fell in the front hall, and I asked the medicine boy to put them away."

"Huh?" Zhang Tong was still a little stunned.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Qiye asked him to wait for a while, went to the front hall by himself, and soon came back with a pair of boots, which was the pair that Yun Sheng handed him.

"Yes, it's the pair." Zhang Tong stood up excitedly, and without waiting for Zhang Qiye to send it over, he himself leaned over and took the pair of black boots in his hand to observe.

"Is there anything wrong with these boots?" Zhang Qiye asked.

Zhang Tong shook his head, he couldn't be sure, but seeing that Yun Sheng cared so much about these boots, then there must be some clues on these boots.

He flipped the boots over and over again, and finally found a familiar pattern at the bottom of the boots.

"It's ......"

Before Zhang Tong finished speaking, Zhang Jiusheng rushed in in a hurry.

When Yun Sheng fainted, Zhang Qiye sent someone to tell Zhang Jiusheng as soon as possible.

At that time, Zhang Jiusheng was with Tie Wan, at Guan Chu's house.

Guan Chu was injured, and Guan Ning was nowhere to be found.

Zhang Jiusheng instructed Tie Wan a few words, and he hurried back, his mind was very confused, and he always felt that the recent events were one after another, which overwhelmed people.

"Brother, what about Yunsheng? What do you think? Zhang Jiusheng was out of breath.

"In the house, it's okay, don't worry."

"Okay."

When Zhang Jiusheng looked at Yun Sheng, he was still in a trance.

And Zhang Tong took the pair of boots, looked at the lines of half a plum blossom on the soles of the boots, and sat on the steps.

"Who is Chen Jinzhi?" He muttered.

Zhang Qiye didn't care much about the cases in the yamen, so he naturally didn't understand Zhang Tong's surprise, and comforted him a few words, but when he didn't react, he didn't care much about it, and simply went to the front hall to take care of the patient.

Zhang Jiusheng stayed in the house all the time, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at Yun Sheng.

With her pale face, frowning brows, and a pair of hands hidden under the quilt, clenched from time to time, she didn't sleep well, and even struggled in her dreams.

And Zhang Jiusheng couldn't help her.

He grabbed his hair, and when he let go of his hand, a dozen broken hairs fell between his fingers, landed on the side of the bed, and were rudely pushed to the ground and kicked under the bed.

Zhang Tong took the pair of boots, and remembered that Zhang Jiusheng was here in a half-dream.

Lu Zhi's case, he knows.

"My lord? Adult ......" Zhang Tong stood outside the door, grabbed the door panel, and shouted Zhang Jiusheng in the house in a suppressed voice.

"What? Sneaky? Zhang Jiusheng came back to his senses.

"My lord, come out for a moment." Zhang Tong waved his hand.

Zhang Jiusheng glanced at Yun Sheng and got up a little impatiently.

When he went out, Zhang Jiusheng closed the door, and Zhang Jiusheng grabbed Zhang Jiusheng with the same hand and went to the other side of the courtyard, and his mental concentration made him not feel how cold it was.

He took the boot and turned it over, the texture on the sole of the boot was exposed in front of Zhang Jiusheng's eyes, Zhang Tong pointed and said, "My lord, do you remember this pattern?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng saw that he was careless, and he also looked over, and the half of the plum blossom hit his brain like a lightning strike, making him stunned on the spot.

"Where did it come from?" Zhang Jiusheng grabbed the boot and wiped the soles of the boots a few times with his hands.

"The boots of the deceased in a recent homicide."

Zhang Jiusheng was silent.

He suddenly remembered that Yun Sheng asked him to check the origin of this half of the plum blossom, and he found it, but he told Yun Sheng that he didn't find it, and Yun Sheng believed it at that time.

Now, this plum blossom has reappeared.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Zhang Tong noticed Zhang Jiusheng's abnormality.

Zhang Jiusheng swallowed his saliva and said, "Have you found out who killed the deceased?" ”

Zhang Tong shook his head and asked again: "My lord, do you know the identity of this deceased?" ”

"I don't know the identity of this deceased, but I know that this person is definitely not from Fan County, and there were also such lines at Lu Zhi's death scene before."

"Yes."

"Does Yunsheng know?"

"I know, these boots were found by Yun Sheng, what's wrong with my lord?"

"I can't hide it."

Zhang Qiye stood around the corner and sighed, he didn't listen to a word of what he had said to comfort Zhang Jiusheng before, and now, he still wants to carry those burdens for Yun Sheng.

"Sheng'er, it's not more than three."

Zhang Jiusheng turned his head suddenly, and saw Zhang Qiye staring at him, his eyes were like pins and needles, no matter what he did, he was under the nose of his eldest brother.

Hiding and concealing made Zhang Jiusheng bruised all over his body.

"Wait for Yunsheng to wake up." Zhang Jiusheng was out of strength and said.

As the words fell, Zhang Qiye turned around and left, Zhang Tong looked stunned for a while, and suddenly lost his mind. He felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a whirlpool, and in this whirlpool, there were Yun Sheng, Zhang Jiusheng, and Zhang Qiye were all involved in it, and he realized it later, and now he found out.

Zhang Tong came back to his senses and found that Zhang Jiusheng's hands were trembling slightly, he looked up at Zhang Jiusheng's expression, but saw him pursing his lips, his lips were stiff and resolute.

He seemed to have some idea.

When Yun Sheng woke up, it was just when the sun was setting.

She slowly opened her eyes, and her whole body felt as if she had been hammered, and she was in pain. There was no one else in the room, but the stove was blazing, quiet and warm, and she crawled up with her hands on the bed, and in a few moments someone pushed the door open.

Zhang Jiusheng walked in.

He was holding something in his hand, and when he saw that Yunsheng was awake, he came over happily: "Finally woke up, I asked the kitchen to make corn porridge and put a little sugar." ”

Yun Sheng smiled, just took the bowl, suddenly remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, looked up and asked, "What about Zhang Tong?" ”

"He went back to the yamen and said that when you woke up, I would call him again."

Yun Sheng nodded, and when he wanted to say something, he heard Zhang Jiusheng immediately add: "I'll call someone to call him now." ”

After that, Zhang Jiusheng really got up and went out, and came back after a while, and said with a smile: "It's already gone, you eat porridge first." I've heard about the case from Zhang Tong's mouth, and I want to tell you about the pair of boots you brought back. ”

"Boots?" Yun Sheng didn't turn the corner for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered the lines of his boots, grabbed Zhang Jiusheng's hand, and the porridge bowl almost overturned, but fortunately, Zhang Jiusheng's hand was about to catch it.

"Don't get excited, wait for Zhang Tong to come, let's talk together. If you think about it, can you think of something else? Especially in the capital. ”

"In the capital?"

Zhang Jiusheng nodded: "In the two years you were in Zheng Taishi's Mansion, did you see any strange things or people?" ”

Holding the porridge bowl, Yun Sheng fell into deep thought.

Actually, there are a lot of strange things, but Yun Sheng still trusted Zheng Taishi very much at that time, so no matter what she suspected, as long as Zheng Taishi said a few words, she could fully believe it. Later, when Yun Sheng escaped from Zheng Taishi's mansion, and everything in the past flashed in his mind like a marquee, Yun Sheng realized that he was so stupid at the beginning.

As for the strange people?

Yun Sheng thought about it, it should not have been seen in Zheng Taishi's mansion, but in the Xiangfu, that is, that day, when she hid under the table, the person wearing the same black boots with half a plum blossom pattern on the soles of the boots.

She could be pretty sure it was a man, and a woman's feet weren't that big or powerful.

However, when she put down the porridge bowl and faced Zhang Jiusheng, those facts couldn't be told through her mouth.

"What? Thought of it? Zhang Jiusheng asked.

He blinked, and there was concern everywhere.

Yun Sheng squirmed his lips a few times, but still said: "This is not the first time I have seen this kind of pattern, the first time I have seen it, it is actually in the Xiangfu." ”

"You speak slowly." Zhang Jiusheng took the pillow to make Yun Sheng feel more comfortable, and brought another cup of hot tea.

Yun Sheng chose a comfortable posture and continued: "It's just that at that time, the Prime Minister's Mansion had already been raided, part of the family property was rushed to the treasury, and part of it fell into the hands of Wu Zhidun. At that time, I was taken to the house by Zheng Taishi, and at the beginning, I didn't know that Zheng Taishi and Wu Zhidun had colluded. Later, I went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion without telling Zheng Taishi, and Zheng Taishi took a group of people, one of whom wore such boots. ”

"Did you see what he looked like?"

Yun Sheng shook his head: "I was hiding under the table at the time, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I could only see their feet and hear their voices. There are many of them, except for Zheng Taishi and Wu Zhidun, I don't know the voices of other people. ”

The clue is still broken.

When Zhang Tong came, he hurriedly pushed the door in, as if wrapped in a huge cold.

"Close the door!" Zhang Jiusheng immediately shouted.

"I know where that boot came from." Zhang Tong stood at the door, his face was red from the cold, he ran quickly, panting, and exhaled a large white mist.

Behind him, a man slowly followed.
