came to the backyard of the county office, which was a very remote house, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Cheng Nianzhen glanced at a middle-aged man guarding the door of the house, she didn't know him. The man was tall and thin, but he stood straight and motionless, and the whole person looked like a nail in the middle of nowhere.

Pushing open the door, the inside of the room, which looked dirty from the outside, was very clean, and although the furniture in the room was very small, it was very exquisite, and it was obvious that the people who had put a lot of thought into arranging it had put a lot of thought into it.

When Miss Cheng saw the person lying on the bed in the room, she couldn't help but be stunned.

This person's whole body was wrapped in cloth belts, and the whole person looked like a living big zongzi, and when he saw her walk in, he tried to raise his head and smile at her.

The familiar round smiling face made Miss Cheng hesitate for a moment, and then she exclaimed violently: "Are you ...... Fat Zhang?"

Zhang Fatzi, who was lying on the bed, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this title at all, and still nodded with a smile on his face.

Miss Cheng was very surprised: "You, why did you do this?"

Zhang Fat Man said with a bitter face: "This, it's a long story." ”

Master Zhou Delin, who was following Miss Cheng, said with a smile: "Zhang Shizi seems to have suffered a lot this time, and when I first arrived here, even I really didn't dare to recognize him." ”

Speaking of the relationship between Master Zhou and Zhang Fatzi, they have also known each other since they were children.

British Gong Zhang Fu is a veteran of the battlefield for a long time, and naturally has many old injuries and stubborn diseases left over from the early years of fighting and killing.

When Zhou Delin's father, Imperial Physician Zhou, was alive, he often treated Zhang Fu's illness, and the two families were often very familiar with each other, and his son Zhou Delin and the British prince Zhang Idiot were of similar age, so naturally they had a good relationship.

This time, Zhang Fatzi escaped from the edict and died in the world, although Jinyiwei and the government have not issued an official document to arrest him, but in the final analysis, he is still a felon.

Therefore, when he came to find Zhou Delin, Zhou Delin did not hesitate at all, but accepted him with indignation, which shows that this Lord Zhou is also a person who values love and righteousness.

Not only that, in order to avoid people's eyes, he also arranged for his confidants to clean up a long-abandoned house in the backyard of the county government, and personally arranged it for Zhang Fatzi to live and recuperate.

To tell the truth, he harbored this righteous act of committing a big crime, which made Zhang Fatzi feel quite surprised and moved, after all, once this matter is leaked out, this week's adult will not only ruin his future bright future, but he is afraid that it will also lead to the disaster of raiding his home and destroying his door.

When the girl Cheng saw Zhang Fatzi at first glance, she felt a little excited, and she had a lot of things to ask him in her heart.

After all, since the separation of Xi'an City, what kind of things did they encounter in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, until Ye Feng suddenly disappeared, and it was rumored that he was dead in the rivers and lakes.

All of this, only Zhang Fatzi knows the truth.

But when she saw Zhang Fatzi, who was covered in scales and bandaged like a meat dumpling in front of her, and Zhou Delin who was standing behind her, she felt that something was wrong, so she couldn't help but didn't speak.

However, Lord Zhou was smart, seeing the situation here, he smiled and said: "You two must have a lot of topics to talk about when they reunite after a long absence, and the official has already instructed the kitchen to stew some supplements for Zhang Shizi, and now it's time to go and see how the preparations are going." You talk slowly. ”

So saying, he withdrew out the door.

The two people in the room watched him leave, the difference was that Miss Cheng's eyes were filled with some gratitude, while Fat Zhang's eyes had some meaning.

I don't know why, after not seeing each other for a few years, this time I met Zhang Fatzi felt that Zhou Delin's body seemed to have changed a lot, compared to the old boy who was ignorant of the world, the words and demeanors of Lord Zhou in front of him were just right, and he seemed to have a lot of experience in speculating on other people's minds, but it seemed to have become a lot more sleek.

Perhaps, as we get older, everyone will inevitably change. Zhang Fatzi can only think like this.

Lord Zhou left, but Miss Cheng was not as eager as before, and did not ask first, but sat down, and reached out to help Zhang Fatzi untie the strips of cloth wrapped around his body, ready to check his injuries.

Zhang Fatzi felt a little embarrassed, and excused himself: "You don't have to work for this kind of dirty work, Miss Cheng, just go back and let Lord Zhou find a doctor casually." ”

Miss Cheng scolded: "Shut up! Is there a doctor here who is better than me?"

Zhang Fatzi had always been a little afraid of Miss Cheng, so he could only obediently shut up when he heard the words.

As soon as she untied a few strips of cloth, Miss Cheng was stunned.

She could see at a glance that Zhang Fatzi's body was full of torture scars, and it was an extremely cruel punishment!

Her voice trembled a little, "Why, how can this be? Who did this?"

Zhang Fatzi reluctantly smiled and comforted: "These are just common methods in the edict prison, it's not a big deal." ”

Miss Cheng felt even more incredulous: "Aren't you the prince of England, why do they dare to do this to you?"

Zhang Fatzi smiled bitterly: "In order to protect the Zhang family, my father opened an ancestral hall and deleted me from the family tree, and now I am no longer a British prince." ”

Miss Cheng was almost dumbfounded: "Expelled from the house, and put you in prison, what is this for?"

Zhang Fatzi sighed helplessly: "Isn't it just for those things that happened in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum! It's just that the second brother Xie doesn't want to affect his family, so he insists on refusing to escape with us, but he is afraid that he will still stay in the edict and suffer at the moment." ”

Miss Cheng stared at Zhang Fatzi silently for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask the question she had wanted to ask for a long time: "What happened to you in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?" Ye Feng, is he dead or alive now?"

Zhang Fatzi sighed, lowered his voice and began to slowly tell about their various experiences in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

He spoke slowly and in detail, as if he was afraid of missing a single detail.

Miss Cheng also listened very carefully, and her emotions continued to rise and fall with Zhang Fatzi's narration.

The huge underground palace, the magical labyrinth, the moving terracotta warriors, the mysterious tomb, the sudden betrayal of Mo Qizhong, the sacrifice of everyone around her, and the terrifying giant white snake at the end, all made her feel thrilled and nervous.

Finally, when Zhang Fatzi finished speaking, she exhaled a long breath, and she was still immersed in the adventure told by Zhang Fatzi.

After a while, she sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Uncle Seventh would ......."

Zhang Fatzi also nodded, and sighed: "Yes, I didn't expect that Mo Qizhong, who looked like such a benevolent elder on weekdays, had been hiding so deeply, and in the end, he realized that everything he had before was fake, and it was his insidious plan." ”

Miss Cheng thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, at least one thing is true." ”

Zhang Fatzi asked, "Which point?"

Miss Cheng said: "When I was in Lanzhou City, I used to check his pulse, but he was really terminally ill and his days were running out. This cannot be pretended in any way. ”

Zhang Fatzi thought about it and nodded in agreement, regarding medical skills, it is naturally Miss Cheng who has the most right to speak.

Miss Cheng sighed: "Maybe it is precisely because of this that he will make a desperate bet and plan such a sinister and vicious plan, hoping that in his lifetime, he can rely on this mysterious treasure to revive the Mo family, but he ended up with such a tragic end." ”

Zhang Fatzi also sighed: "Perhaps, but now that he is dead, no one knows what he thinks in his heart." Moreover, this once glorious Mo family is afraid that it will also withdraw from the stage of history from now on, and it will eventually decline in the future. ”

Miss Cheng thought of those who died in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, especially when she thought of the Helian Tie who sacrificed herself in order to save Ye Feng and had no bones left, she couldn't help but feel deep grief.

Although this person is wooden and silent, he has been by Ye Feng's side over the years, how many lives and deaths he has experienced together, and how many hardships and dangers he has overcome, but he has never wavered in the slightest, all for the kindness of Ye Feng who rescued him on the side of the road.

Such a loyal and righteous man ended up with such an ending, although it was to seek benevolence, it was too tragic.

recalled that many times, whenever Ye Feng went out to investigate a case, the would guard him in the inn. Although the two of them were silent and didn't say anything, as long as he stood behind her, Miss Cheng could feel a real sense of security, because she knew that no matter what happened, he would definitely be the first to stand in front.

However, this will never happen again.

Miss Cheng's eyes couldn't help but turn a little red.

The only thing that is gratifying is that from Zhang Fatzi's narration, he knows that Ye Feng is not like the rumors in the rivers and lakes, he did not die, but escaped with Tang Da

The underground palace of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

It's just that where he is now, even Zhang Fat doesn't know.

Since he has an old, calm, and trustworthy person like Tang Da by his side, he must be safe.

Thinking of this, Miss Cheng's heart finally let go a little.

Looking at the scars on the fat man in front of her, she felt inexplicably moved.

Although Zhang Fatzi had hidden something from Ye Feng before, he and Xie Zhenliang were actually people who were placed by Ye Feng's side at the behest of the emperor. However, none of them had done anything that was really unfavorable to Ye Feng.

On the contrary, when these two people faced all kinds of cruel punishments in the edict, in order to keep secrets, they gritted their teeth and endured these incomparable pains, without revealing Ye Feng's whereabouts.

If it weren't for the deep brotherhood between them, how many people in the world could do it?

With such brothers, how can they not envy others?

After several days of hurrying, coupled with the improper treatment before, some of the wounds on Zhang Fatzi's body have begun to deteriorate.

Miss Cheng tearfully unwrapped the cloth strips, gently wiped the pus and blood from the wound, and asked, "Who bandaged this wound for you?" ”

Zhang Fatzi endured the pain and reluctantly smiled and said, "It's Uncle Nail outside the door." He was my father's confidant, and he was the one who saved me from prison. ”

"Uncle Nail?" Miss Cheng frowned, "No wonder his whole person looks cold and hard, like an iron nail, and he is really as good as his name." It's just that he doesn't know any medical knowledge, otherwise your wound wouldn't be like this. ”

Zhang Fatzi said with a smile: "He is a rough man who rushed over on the battlefield to kill him in life and death, where does he know what medical science? Miss Cheng, you are too difficult for a strong man." ”

As soon as the words fell, Miss Cheng touched his wound, and the severe pain made him cry out "ouch", and his forehead was suddenly covered with fine beads of sweat.

Miss Cheng looked back at the door of the house, and muttered, "Why haven't you come back for so long this week?" ”

Zhang Fatzi smiled reluctantly: "He has such a strange case here, I'm afraid that he is still having a headache at the moment, this little thing still doesn't need to trouble him, just let Uncle Nail get what he needs." ”

On this day, it wasn't until night fell and the lights were on that Miss Cheng finally finished treating the wounds on Zhang Fatzi's body one by one, and dragged her tired body back to the inn.

Back in the room, she didn't feel a trace of sleepiness.

Today, she finally got a glimmer of news about Ye Feng from Zhang Fatzi's mouth, confirming what she had always believed in her heart, Ye Feng was not dead!

Although I don't know where he is yet, I at least know that he is still alive, and as long as he is alive, there will be a chance to meet.

Miss Cheng felt a surging heart for a while, where was there still a trace of sleep?

In the blink of an eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a piece of paper on the table in the room.

When I got closer, I saw that there was something written on the paper. It was clear that someone left her behind when she was away.

Could it be the letter that Ye Feng left her?

Her heart jumped like a drum, but when she picked up the piece of paper, she was disappointed.

The handwriting on the paper was beautiful, clearly from a woman, and she didn't recognize the handwriting.

The content of the letter is to warn himself and remind the county magistrate Zhou that if you want to solve the strange case of Mrs. He, you must first start with the relationship between the little blacksmith who surrendered and the He family.

At the end of the letter, there is no signature, just a few strokes of an orchid.

Putting down the letter in her hand, Miss Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Who could be the person who wrote this letter? Why did she care so much about Mrs. He's case? Even if she wanted to help solve the case, why didn't she directly remind Zhou Delin and Master Zhou, but instead relayed it through her own mouth?

These questions made her a little upset, and vaguely, she seemed to subconsciously feel that this letter must have some connection with Ye Feng.

Solving the case, isn't that what Ye Feng is good at?

However, this letter is clearly from the hand of a woman, what is the relationship between this woman who wrote the letter and Ye Feng?

Miss Cheng stared blankly at the night sky outside the window, and asked softly in her heart: Ye Feng, where are you now?
