Several officials from the yamen of the criminal department in the capital came to the Chuzhou government on the morning of the next day.

At that time, Mr. Bao had just gotten up.

Because I drank a lot of wine in Anle Palace yesterday, I got up late today. However, as soon as they arrived, he called his family members who came with him to collect money.

"From today on, when you have nothing to do, you will stay near the Anle Palace Mansion, monitor the housekeeper named Zhao Kong at any time, and if you have any vision, you must come and report to me immediately." Master Bao commanded.

Bao Cai looked reluctant.

In the past, such things were handled by those officials in the government, and he was just a personal servant by the side of the adults, so why should he be involved in this kind of thing?

"Just because you are not a servant in my house, and yesterday it was the old palace master you went to see with me, and I met with that Zhao Kong, so I can avoid many twists and turns, and I have other uses for other servants." Bao Zheng explained.

Bao Cai left.

At this time, Hu Cheng came to greet the teacher.

Master Bao was arranged by Shen Pu to live in the place where Lu Bu and the others lived last time, and it was only about forty or fifty meters away from the mansion.

"Although Lord Shen is Fei Yong's cousin, his person is very different from Fei Yong, according to the student's observation, this person is quite kind, but he lacks experience in officialdom. Since coming here, he has never seen any gentry here, and even the shopkeeper of the largest merchant here has refused to come to visit. Hu Cheng didn't wait for Lord Bao to ask, so he took the initiative to say.

Master Bao smiled.

"In this way, it is not impulsive that Banzai can agree to the request of the royal concubine."

Hu Cheng nodded.

"It's just that the imperial concubine has sent a palace maid named Qinglian in the past few days, I don't know what I mean by coming here."

Bao Zheng seems to have expected it.

"When the imperial concubine knew that I came here, she would definitely think that this official was targeting Lord Shen, so she sent someone here, but you and I don't have to care. For Shen Pu, you need more help. ”

"Students know." Hu Cheng replied.

Hu Cheng is also from the two lists of Jinshi, and he was able to sit in the position of the prince of this mansion, also thanks to the recommendation of Lord Bao, this time he originally thought that he could succeed Fei Shi to become the prefect After the idea was overturned, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but in front of Lord Bao, he didn't dare to mention it.

At noon, Shen Pu invited Master Bao to a banquet.

Shen Pu has never liked to drink.

Mr. Bao is an astonishing amount of alcohol.

Before the meal was finished, Shen Pu had already fallen asleep on the table.

Ordered someone to help Shen Pu to the back to rest, and Lord Bao and Hu Cheng sat opposite each other in the lobby.

Hu Cheng found various dossiers from the past year.

Although they are all old cases, many of which have not yet been solved, they can't arouse the interest of Mr. Bao, but for one of the seemingly ordinary cases, Mr. Bao is very concerned.

This case involved the Anle Palace Mansion and the dead Zhao An.

"The case is closed." Seeing that Master Bao had been holding the file of this case, Hu Cheng reminded.

Master Bao placed the file on the table.

The case is deceptively simple:

Zhao An encountered two masked robbers when he went out of the city on an errand, robbed a lot of property, and a maid surnamed An who accompanied him was also robbed.

After half a month of investigation, Fei Shi arrested the two robbers, but the property had been squandered, and the maid surnamed An was also killed by the two.

The two have been brought to justice on the spot because they resisted arrest.

"Since the criminal has been corrected on the spot and has not confessed, how can he know that his property has been squandered and the maid surnamed An has also been killed?" Master Bao asked Hu Chengdao.

"The bodies of these two people were later identified by Zhao An." Hu Cheng replied, "As for the maid surnamed An, when I searched the house of the two later, I found one of her clothes with blood stains on it, so it was inferred that this woman had been killed. ”

Bao Zheng thought for a moment.

"What are these two people?"

"They are two local pranksters who have no fixed occupation, and have been arrested many times before for assaulting others." Hu Cheng replied.

Master Bao nodded, pushed the file aside, and seemed to no longer want to continue to ask.

However, in his heart, he had already linked this case to Zhao An's murder.

The case was closed less than two months after Zhao An was killed.

According to Zhao Ji, Zhao An was killed because he was fighting with another servant for a woman, and a woman also appeared in this case, could it be that the woman surnamed An is the woman in Zhao Ji's mouth?

It is impossible for the two people in the market not to know the big housekeeper in the Anle Palace, but they dared to intercept the two, but they did not run away afterwards, how to say this, it is also unreasonable.

"Hu Cheng, do you have any opinions on this case after Lord Shen comes?" Master Bao asked.

Hu Cheng thought about it.

"Lord Shen also felt that the case was settled a little hastily, but he never found anything to suspect."

"Has the family of this woman surnamed An been appeased?"

"According to An Le Gongye, this woman was met on the street a few years ago, and it is said that she is from a foreign country, and her parents died early, so there is nowhere to find her." Hu Cheng replied.

Master Bao was about to say something, but he saw the figure of an errand officer he brought flash at the gate, so he stood up and walked out.

The person who came back was Zhanzhao.

"My lord, the villain was ordered to go to Qinglian Nunnery to secretly investigate, and learned that Tang Lu Bu and his wife Diao Chan did live near Qinglian Nunnery, but this Tang Lu Bu was not at home now, but went with the old lady in Anle Palace. My lord, do you want to take someone to the Anle Palace Mansion to arrest people now? ”

Bao Zheng's black face sank slightly, and he shook his head.

Is it Anle Palace again?

This Tang Lu Bu is quite smart, and he actually thought of hiding in Anle Palace, but Bao Zheng doesn't want to arrest him now.

Since you, Yan Xizheng, have already sent someone here, why should this official do anything more?

"Zhan's guards have worked hard, you can go down to rest first, inform others, pay close attention to this person's movements, and don't arrest people without the official's order, so as not to cause accidental injuries."

Zhan Zhao understands that what Lord Bao cares about is the safety of these officials. It must be that this Tang Lu Bu is not an ordinary person, even if there are thousands of troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to make him arrested.

Master Bao returned to the lobby, but he was still thinking about the case just now.

Connecting several suspicious points together, Lord Bao smelled the unusual smell in it, Zhao Ji didn't want to meddle in the case himself, did he really find the real culprit, or was he deliberately protecting the instructor behind the scenes?

A dignified palace master, will he protect an ordinary murderer?

If this assumption is confirmed, then the people behind this scene must be inextricably linked to Zhao Ji?

An assassination attempt was attempted, and he simply followed him to the capital, what kind of hatred can make this person hate Zhao An so much?

According to Tang Lubu's confession, that person was hunted down by him, but he disappeared quickly, such a powerful skill, I am afraid that even Zhanzhao will be difficult to achieve, could it be ......

Bao Zheng's heart sank.

He seemed to have a premonition that there was a huge conspiracy hidden in this.
