[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

While all the yamen servants were busy cleaning up the mess, no one noticed that there was a sneaky figure approaching here not far away, and when everyone was alerted to a sneak attack, a dart with a dark orchid light turned on it. Already close at hand, Zhan Zhaofei threw a sleeve arrow casually.

There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the dart fell to the ground. Before Zhan Zhao put his hand down, he felt a pain in his left leg, and a burst of numbness spread from the pain instantly. The blood that came out was slightly black, and I tried to move, but I felt that my left leg couldn't even use any strength.

Standing on the spot, Zhan Zhao narrowed his staring eyes, looking at the direction of the poison dart not far away, ready to throw the sleeve arrow.The killer hiding in the dark has been hiding for a long time without revealing his target.Zhan Zhao stared intently, suddenly a gust of breeze blew by, and the bushes in the distance moved slightly, Zhan Zhao seized this rare opportunity to aim at the target and shoot the sleeve arrow, and a muffled hum came from afar.The yamen servants also seized this opportunity and swarmed up, grabbed the killer from behind the bushes, and Zhan Zhao's sleeve arrow just hit his left chest.

Seeing that this person had been subdued and seriously injured, Zhan Zhao carefully observed the surrounding environment and was relieved after confirming that there were no other killers hiding nearby.When his spirit relaxed, Zhan Zhao only felt a white light flash in front of his eyes, and felt that the sky was dim for a moment, and he didn't know anything after that.

In the mist, a beautiful pastoral color is refreshing.Zhan Zhao was strolling along the path in the field, and there was a small courtyard beside the field ridge in the distance, with green bricks and green tiles.Zhan Zhao stepped forward, and when he reached the place not far from the door, the door opened slightly, and a little girl with a baotou tiptoed out through the crack of the door, followed by two seven or eight-year-old boys with similar appearance .Seeing these children, Zhan Zhao felt a trace of joy and sweetness welling up in his heart for no reason, and involuntarily followed the children's footprints.

By a small stream behind the house, several children were playing happily, and the sound of cheerful laughter drifted past my ears. "Brother, brother. Mother said that Daddy has gone out. When will he come back? Did he forget the way home?" A soft and sticky girl's voice came to his ears. I couldn't help laughing at my son's question, and I couldn't help thinking that if I had such a lovely daughter, I would treat her like a pearl in my palm.

"Sister, our father is Nan Xia, how could he forget the way home. He must be too busy, and he will come back when he finishes his work." Said the taller boy beside him.When Zhan Zhao heard him talking about Nan Xia, he couldn't help being surprised: "Could it be that this is what Brother Huan and Brother Xi look like when they grow up? This is really amazing. Could it be that I will really have such a lovely daughter in the future? Then It’s really a godsend.”

I was about to go over and take a good look at these children.Another boy said, "Maybe that's the case. Didn't mother always say that daddy is a goose? Naturally, a fool doesn't know the way home." Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry.Stepping forward, he was about to have a heart-to-heart talk with the children, when suddenly there was a whirlwind behind him and Zhan Zhao was sucked into the air in an instant, spinning a few times in the air, the wind stopped suddenly and Zhan Zhao was thrown from mid-air.

Zhan Zhao suddenly sat up from the bed.It took a while to come back to my senses, looking around, I was in a strange guest room.While he was wondering, the door was pushed open, and the figure of Mr. Gongsun came into view.Mr. Gongsun was surprised to see Zhan Zhao sitting on the bed looking at him. He hurriedly walked to the table and put down the medicine box in his hand. Been sleeping for days."

Zhan Zhao asked Mr.: "What is this place?" He handed Mr. Gongsun his pulse and expressed his doubts.

"Oh, this is the Yamen of Chuzhou." After finishing speaking, Mr. Gongsun lowered his head and continued to take the pulse.When I was young, Niusu smiled: "Fortunately, only the trauma left needs to be recuperated, the poison in the body has been forced out, I will prescribe some medicine for you to clear the remaining poison in the body." After speaking, he got up and went to the table , draw a pen to prescribe.

"Who forced the poison for me?" Zhan Zhao wondered.The dynasty and the others are not strong enough, is there still someone in the Chuzhou mansion who can do it?

"It's Bai Yutang and Xiao Jing." Seeing Zhan Zhao's doubts, Mr. Gongsun said with a smile.

"Why is Bai Yutang here?" If it was said that Xiao Jing forced him to be poisoned, it could be explained.But shouldn't Bai Yutang be in Kaifeng Mansion?Even if it is no longer in Kaifeng Mansion, it is impossible to appear in Chuzhou.

"Mu Yan asked him to help us." Mr. Gongsun secretly admired Mu Yan's good intentions in his heart.Although he said it lightly, the poison on the poison dart this time was very domineering, and Xiao Jing was helpless with his own strength. At the critical moment, Bai Yutang descended from the sky and teamed up with Xiao Jing in time to use his internal force to force the poison for Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao pulled back from the gate of hell.

Mr. Gongsun put away the medicine box, and told Zhan Zhao to take a good rest before going to boil medicine for Zhan Zhao.Bai Yutang came in from the door, holding a jug of wine in his hand. When Zhan Zhao woke up, he raised the wine jug in his hand as a signal, and seeing Zhan Zhao shook his head and smiled, "Cat, you owe me this time." Fifth Lord, one life." As he spoke, he sat down beside Zhan Zhao's bed, slapped the mud seal off the wine jar, and a scent of daughter's red instantly wafted into Zhao's nostrils.

"Good wine." Zhan Zhao praised from the bottom of his heart.Bai Yutang is good at wine, and every time they come to Kaifeng Mansion, the two of them can't help having a few glasses of wine under the moon.

"Good wine, right? But you can't drink it!" Bai Yutang smirked. "Your daughter-in-law bribed me to let me come to Chuzhou to help her, but she bleeds this time. This is a 30-year-old daughter. It's something you can't ask for. I have it all to myself." Bai Yutang said. He boldly raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth, and when he was done, he looked sideways at Zhan Zhao and smacked his lips as if he was still unsatisfied, Zhan Zhao's teeth were itchy but he couldn't fight back due to his injuries, so he could only look up to the sky and sigh.

"It's not safe for you to come here." Zhan Zhao looked worried. This time, the opponent is too tough. Just one attack has already stretched the entire Kaifeng government. It will succeed, and Bai Yutang can indeed be of great help here, but the family may be in danger.

"Mao'er, you can see that your frown can kill flies. Don't worry, my third brother has gone to the capital and is now staying at your house. If you have Uncle Han at your house, it shouldn't be a big problem." " Seeing Zhan Zhao's sad look, Bai Yutang put away a rare smile.Said sternly.

Hearing what he said, Zhan Zhao felt a little more at ease, and Zhan Yan thanked Bai Yutang: "Thank you, fifth brother, and please trouble Third Brother Xu, who will also be troubled. When I return to Beijing, I will be a good student and thank you both."

Bai Yutang hated Zhan Zhao's appearance the most: "My third brother is too happy to live in your house. Every day, your wife cooks different kinds of food. If she didn't use her daughter to greed me, I wouldn't come here. You thank me." Then he raised his head and took another sip of wine down his throat.A comfortable look.

The two chatted for a while, Zhan Zhao looked tired, Bai Yutang let him rest well, and went out by himself thinking about the wine jar.He went straight to the study room of the State Yamen, Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun had been waiting there for a long time.

The amount of the ink corruption case is huge and the involvement is extensive.Now there are more than [-] people involved in the case confirmed in Chuzhou. If all of them are removed and replaced, no one will be available immediately.Qian Kelun, the state official of Chuzhou, and Chen Chang, the general judge, both disappeared.The top priority is to find out Qian Kelun and Chen Chang in advance. Mr. Bao only has a hard-to-distinguish account book and some testimonies of the victimized merchants.Only when Qian Kelun and Chen Chang are found to testify can the criminal evidence of Duke Anguo in the capital be confirmed.

Zhan Zhao was injured, and Bai Yutang could only be responsible for finding someone. Although both of them had escaped, Qian Kelun's mother was old and in poor health, while Chen Chang's wife was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth. Based on this, it is speculated that at least the relatives of the two should have not left the city.If you can find where the family members are staying, it is only a matter of time before you squat to find the two of them.

The yamen servants have dispersed to inquire, focusing on the nearby medical center and midwife's house.After all, one is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, and the other is an elderly person. It is the most appropriate way to see a medical clinic.

Bai Yutang took the order to go out, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw Zhan Zhao walking in. Bai Yutang wondered, "Aren't you recuperating on the bed? Why did you get down?" Zhan Zhao smiled, "I've been lying down for a while, but I can't fall asleep. Come on." Let’s see what needs to be done. I’d better go find someone with my fifth brother. Ma Han and I have been wandering here before, the route is more familiar and we can avoid detours, and we also have some clues before inquiring, now we can go again Go see."

Mr. Bao thought for a long time and nodded in agreement.Looking at Zhan Zhao quite sadly: "You are right, but can your body hold it up?" Zhan Zhao shook his head: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will act carefully. Besides, there is my fifth brother with me. Something will happen."

After Zhan Zhao bowed his hands and saluted, he turned around and went out with Bai Yutang. As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the state government, Bai Yutang yelled, "Smelly cat, Fifth Lord can do it alone, and you need to follow. Now you are a sick cat, and you have to work hard for five years." Lord take care of you." Zhan Zhao let Bai Yutang yell and just smiled and said nothing, he knew that Bai Yutang cared about him so he was willing to be nagged by him.

"Fifth brother, even though Zhan is injured, he can still protect himself, so don't worry about it. But fifth brother, don't worry about revealing your Xingzang." Zhan Zhao teased Bai Yutang, and as expected, Bai Yutang was shocked when he heard this. angry. "Smelly cat, don't you know good people? If your daughter-in-law hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have come." Saying that, he left without paying attention to Zhan Zhao.Behind him, Zhan Zhao couldn't help saying, "Fifth brother, you're going in the wrong direction." Bai Yutang paused, gave Zhan Zhao a bitter look, turned around and brushed past him, Zhan Zhao looked at him angrily , the depression that was injured by his cancellation earlier was relieved.

The two came to the famous Ci'antang Medical Center in Chuzhou, sat down at a nearby noodle stall, and each ordered a bowl of plain noodles.Zhan Zhao whispered to Bai Yutang: "Fifth brother, I found out that Qian Kelun's mother was ill in bed for a long time, and Dr. Xue from Ci'an Hall has been seeing her for a long time. Now we should pay close attention to Dr. Xue. And immediately Han has already set up secret sentries near the homes of several well-known midwives in the city, and when women give birth, they will follow them to learn about their mothers, and they should be able to gain something.”

After eating, the two found a hidden place to hide their whereabouts.After half a day, Dr. Xue did not go out, and there was a continuous stream of people in Ci'an Hall, and Dr. Xue was not seen out to see a doctor until the store closed when the lights were on. "I guess I'm busy with work today." Bai Yutang said in frustration, Zhan Zhao comforted him when he saw this, "That's how it is when you squat down, it's hard for you to stay with me because of your temper." Bai Yutang was not happy when he heard it: " You mean Fifth Lord can't stay still, so I'll let you see which of us is more patient?" After speaking, he closed his star eyes and leaned on the branch to regain his composure.Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly, and thought to himself: "A person in his 20s, how can he still have the temper of a child." But after thinking about it, it would be more useful to use such a violent temper, he couldn't help laughing secretly and finally found a way to restrain his temper. The method of this white mouse.

For several days in a row, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stayed on the tree at the entrance of Ci'an Hall. During the day, there were more people in the store and they watched together. At night, they took turns, one person per night, and even the meals were just enough to fill their stomachs.Bai Yutang complained endlessly about this, complaining that he should have let his third brother come if he knew it was so hard. Now his third brother eats delicious food and drinks spicy food at Zhan Zhao's house every day, but he has worked so hard.Zhan Zhao was so entangled by him that he had no choice but to promise him to go back to the capital and let Mu Yan cook to comfort him in order to appease the white mouse.

The hard work paid off, and the seven days of hard work finally paid off.But it was not Qian Kelun's family members who first showed their heads, but Chen Chang's wife asked Dr. Xue to sit in the township because of dystocia.The two were overjoyed, Bai Yutang quietly followed the servants of the Chen family, and Zhan Zhao followed Doctor Xue's sedan chair until they reached a remote alley. people found out.

Zhan Zhao found the mark left by Bai Yutang at the entrance of the alley, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he flew into the courtyard, spotted a thick sycamore tree in the backyard and turned up, sure enough, Bai Yutang was in The tree is waiting for him. "The doctor just went in, so I don't think the situation is very good. Wen Po just came out and said it's very dangerous." Bai Yutang said, his eyes glanced at Zhan Zhao's injured leg, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no sign of bleeding from the wound.

"Did Chen Chang not show up?" Zhan Zhao asked suspiciously, seeing Bai Yutang shook his head, he also frowned and remained silent.It seems that money can really depress people's minds, and Chen Chang can hold his breath even if his wife is dying of dystocia, or the news has not yet reached.Looks like we'll have to wait and see.

Dr. Xue was really good at medicine. First, he asked the accompanying medical girl to go in and give acupuncture, and some medicines were prescribed according to the situation. After more than an hour, the crying of the baby was finally heard in the delivery room, and the midwife came out to report that the mother and baby were safe.Although Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao came here to arrest people, they were relieved when they heard the news of safety, and then lamented that the child's fate was bad, and if he was thrown into this family, he would only be a slave for the rest of his life.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door of the Chen family, and the knocks became more and more anxious.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were startled suddenly. Could it be that Chen Chang came back? There was a rush of footsteps, and a man in a forging robe hurried to the room in the backyard that was used as a delivery room with a lantern. It was indeed Chen Chang. Chang is back.

"Cat, do you want to do it?" Bai Yutang's patience had already reached its limit after several days of guarding, and he was naturally very excited when he finally saw the right master, and he looked like he was grinding his fists and palms.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said to wait a little longer. Seeing that Bai Yutang was puzzled, he said, "Chen Chang thinks death is inevitable, and now is the last time to be reunited with his wife and children. Just wait a little longer." Bai Yutang sighed uncontrollably. language, just nodded silently.

After about a stick of incense, Chen Chang walked out of the delivery room with a baby in his arms, and told a servant a few words, and the servant took the child and the package of things Chen Chang handed over, turned his head and left, and left. After a few steps, he turned around and kowtowed to Chen Chang a few times before leaving again wiping away his tears.It looks like he wants to take the child away.After discussing with Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang quietly followed, leaving Zhan Zhao to arrest Chen Chang.

Watching Bai Yutang walk away, Zhan Zhao jumped down from the tree.It was Chen Chang who had moved to the delivery room to accompany his wife, and Zhan Zhao stood at the door of the delivery room and knocked on the door.The door opened, and when Chen Chang saw Zhan Zhao outside, his complexion turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled, and it took him a long time to say: "Master Zhan, it doesn't matter if you arrest me, I wonder if you can spare my wife and children." Then he knelt down in front of Zhan Zhao.A woman's weeping could be heard inside the door. Although Zhan Zhao couldn't bear it, the law was ruthless, so he could only tie Chen Chang's hands and take him to the state government office to await trial.
