Gongsun had a nightmare, and Zhao Pu cut down all the trees in the palace in a fit of rage.
Within three days, the rumor spread all over the country. Based on the people's love for Zhao Pu, no one expressed dissatisfaction with it. It just became an anecdote in the market. Everyone joked that Zhao Pu was "the blue face when he was angry with the crown, and the blue face and the dream tree suffered."
In fact, just because the trees in the palace were cut down with such great fanfare, it would be more or less true, so I had to pick any reason to convince people inside and outside the palace, so I said that Gongsun had a nightmare when he saw the big tree with teeth and claws. Anyway, Zhao Pu's willful and reckless behavior is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Other princes and nobles may be regarded as lawless, but Zhao Pu seems very reasonable. And the most wonderful thing is that Zhao Zhen not only did not object, but rather agreed, and planted some peach blossoms and pear blossoms by the way, so that Zhao Pu could cut them again when he had time. The common people think that these uncles and nephews are quite funny.
On the day the trees were cut down, Gongsun inspected all the trees, and found that some of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees were strange. Compared with other sweet-scented osmanthus trees, the ones at the gate of the Imperial Garden are of a special variety. The color is not light yellow, but deep yellow. It is only gorgeous when viewed alone, but it looks weird when compared with other sweet-scented osmanthus trees.
Gongsun inspected carefully, "This tree is watered with poison, and there is still poison in the veins. It is a kind of blue particles that have never been seen before. It is shiny, and it looks like salt.
Gongsun scraped off the poison, took it back and studied it slowly. After that day, no one had any more nightmares. Zhao Zhen was finally able to sleep peacefully, and his spirits improved.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang investigated the steward who was in charge of planting the flowers.
The flowers of the palace are selected from certain places every year, and the officials in charge of the decoration of the palace are very nervous. If it is found out who is responsible, it is estimated that the head will not be saved.
Everyone was fortunate that Kaifeng Prefecture was in charge of the investigation this time. If it was the Dali Temple trial, it would be over. At least during the investigation of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao will ask you the reason in a friendly manner. When you enter Dali Temple, one or two evil spirits will kill you half of your life.
Zhan Zhao quickly asked about the source of the sweet-scented osmanthus. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, many places will pay tribute to autumn flowers, mainly sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemum. These few plants are called Jingui Baoyue, they are beautiful in shape, color and flavor, pleasant in aroma, and quite refreshing, so they were specially selected and planted in front of the imperial study room. This flower is entangled in an osmanthus garden in the west of Kaifeng Mansion. The flower grower is an old farmer, surnamed Zhang, very ordinary No one can imagine that an honest old farmer would assassinate the king.
According to the address provided by the officials, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang found Uncle Zhang's Osmanthus Garden.
Unexpectedly, there is no one at home, all the flowers have decayed, and it seems that no one has watered them for a long time. Zhan Zhao asked the nearby villagers, saying that Uncle Zhang was dead.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, and asked about the cause of death in detail.
It is said that the old man has often been in a trance recently, sometimes crying and howling suddenly in the middle of the night, and then a monk came to see him and he got better. But not long ago, while drinking in a restaurant, he died of a sudden heart attack.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang found the cemetery where the deceased was, dug up the body and asked Gongsun Yi for an autopsy - the result proved that it was homicide, and the poison was poisonous, the same method that killed Gong Xue.
The deceased also collapsed suddenly while drinking tea in a restaurant. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a look at the roof of his restaurant, there were some scratches left, which showed that it was related to the vulture, and the person who poisoned him should also be the person who killed Gong Xue.
After running around for a while, the clues were broken again, and it was almost midnight when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to Kaifeng Mansion.
Just as he sat down and changed his clothes, the little boy trotted in at the door, holding a big food box in his hand. Take out two plates of dim sum from inside and put them in front of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Night dim sum!"
"Ice skin dumplings?" Zhan Zhao was pleasantly surprised.
"Well, Aunt Jiang said that your favorite food is stuffed shrimp." The fourth son smiled.
"Aunt JiangJiang Hongyue?" Zhan Zhao clicked his tongue twice while eating the dumplings, "No wonder it's so delicious, is her injury better?"
"It's ready." The fourth son picked up the food box again, turned around as if to go out.
"Let's go now?" Zhan Zhao didn't see him for a day, and hooked his fingers at him, "Come, let's have some dumplings together."
Xiao Si puffed his cheeks, "I don't want to eat, I have to help Xiao Mantou and the others."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, "What can I do for you?"
"There are a lot of books to read!" The fourth son said seriously, "It was brought back from the fire scene that time."
"Oh" Zhan Zhao knew that it was the diary written by Student Gong, so he took the dumplings on the plate, "Let's go, I'll go with you, by the way."Did you know that he was a bad guy when he was a child? "
The fourth son shook his head.
"If you don't save him, will he die?"
The fourth son thought for a while, but the dead leaves were not seriously injured, so he shook his head, "Probably not."
"After you found out, did you tell your father?"
The fourth son then shook his head.
"Are you still forgetting about this?"
The fourth son pursed his lips and nodded.
"Why don't you say it? You want to protect the bad guys?"
"No." The fourth son had a resentful expression on his face, "I forgot about it for some reason, but when I remembered it later, I was afraid that Daddy would worry."
"Oh." Bao Zheng nodded, "Little Si, how old were you when you committed the crime?"
"Four years old."
"Under the laws of the Song Dynasty, children under the age of five are not liable for crimes." Mr. Bao asked him with a smile, "Do you know?"
Xiao Sizi blinked, "Jiang Zi?"
Bai Yutang was puzzled, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Is there such a thing?"
Zhan Zhao Wangtian, "Who can a child under the age of five harm?"
"It is not illegal for children under the age of seven and elderly people over the age of seventy to forget important events, so that the case is delayed." Bao Zheng continued.
The fourth son scratched his head, "Really?"
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao wanted to laugh, what can children under the age of seven and old men over the age of seventy remember?
"It's wrong to conceal your father, but you are out of filial piety, so you can offset the crime." Bao Zheng patted the gavel lightly, "The government now acquits you. As for the bad guy, you also said, His injury is not serious, even a four-year-old baby can be healed, and he would not die. So whether he did evil or not, it has nothing to do with you. You saved his life, but he didn't kill you It means that he has realized something, and maybe he even burned and killed some people because of this, you are not only innocent but also meritorious, you deserve to be praised, and you will save more people in the future, you know?"
With a serious face, Master Bao raised the Jintang wood and lowered it gently again, "Little fourth son is released in court, retreat!"
Bao Zheng and the yamen servants all retreated, and the fourth son stood there dumbfounded, feeling that he was really innocent! Mr. Bao is right, he will not die if he saves the dead leaves, and he will continue to kill people in the future, and maybe he will kill more people in the first place, so saving him once is not a bad thing, right? So, the little fourth son who had been crying all the time calmed down, and took Gongsun Zhao Pu back to his room to sleep.
Pang Yu said to Bao Yan with admiration, "Your father is really good at coaxing the younger brother!"
"It's not coaxing, it's reasoning!" Bao Yan told Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang that he hadn't finished reading the rest of the materials, so he stayed up all night and told them tomorrow morning to go to bed early.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Bai Yutang originally wanted to drag Zhan Zhao back to sleep, but Zhan Zhao grabbed him, "Yutang!"
Bai Yutang was taken aback, looked at him, "Huh?"
"Actually, this is not the first time you have died!"
Zhan Zhao's words startled Bai Yutang's forehead, "Huh?"
"Let me tell you, it's not the first time I've dreamed about your death!" Zhan Zhao looked serious.
Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, "Cat, you think about it every day and dream at night, don't you"
"Go!" Zhan Zhao said seriously, "What I heard for the first time was not the buzzing, but the wind!"
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, thought for a while, after all, he is smart and has a good memory, "Mao'er, you mean, the night you were sick?"
Bai Yutang did recall the night when he just returned to Kaifeng, Zhan Zhao woke up in the middle of the night after drinking the medicine, grabbed himself and dangled, his expression was nervous and his behavior was out of control, probably it was that time.
"That day" Bai Yutang began to think back, "There is something special, that is, we passed the ruined temple and met some people."
"That pair of brothers and sisters belonged to your Tianshan sect, do you remember?" Zhan Zhao asked with a smile.
"Yes." Bai Yutang also remembered, "They did say that they were going to find Master Liu, who knew the Master Liu of the Tianshan School, could it be the brother Liu that Gong Xue mentioned?"
"Are there any weirdos that night?" Zhan Zhao smiled, "Except for Zhao Cong."
Bai Yutang suddenly remembered, "There is also a man in black named Cen Jing, and a young monk People in the village mentioned that a monk went to Guiyuan, maybe he is also related to this matter? "
"So, it's on that little monk right now!" Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "It's not easy to find a passer-by in Kaifeng Mansion, but finding a passing monkit's easy!" (Remember the website URL : www.hlnovel.com)??¡It¡¯s still simple! "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
