Chapter 47

"Go."

When Zhang Xing held the knife and came to the gate of Li Ding, a member of the driving department of the Ministry of War, it was already late, so he took out a few pennies from his pocket and handed it to the servant of the post station who led the way, then raised the embroidered knife, He tapped on the door with his scabbard.

After patting several times, no one answered at the door, so Zhang Xing had no choice but to call the door: "Jing'an Taichung Town Fusi Jinyi Second Patrol Group patrolled Zhang Xing, and was ordered by the imperial court to patrol the two capitals and three rivers. Li Ding, a member of the driving department, is here, and I am here to pay a special visit."

There was obviously some movement inside the door, but unexpectedly, the door still didn't open.

Zhang Xing finally got impatient, and knocked on the door with the scabbard again, and said simply: "Li Ding, you are a son of a family, you should understand the truth, my patrol inspector Bai Yousi just died a cousin of the servant of the Ministry of punishment, and spread your table again." Brother, after walking for three days, I couldn’t even eat a peach, and I’m feeling bored... She is a master of the alchemy stage, she chopped you down with a single knife, and forced you to escape with your cousin, who is it? Hurry up Open the door! To save yourself from being hung up and beaten!"

There was some movement inside the door again, and it was quiet again after a while, and just when Zhang Xing was about to kick the door, the door finally opened, and then a middle-aged man flashed out.

The man was about 30 years old, wearing a light green official uniform and wearing a wingless head. He was tall, but he was slightly curled up. The eye circles are clearly visible, and the beard is unshaven, and the complexion is blue.

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help complaining on the spot: "You are Li Ding? Wai Lang, a member of the military department, Han Ni's cousin? You didn't open the door after calling for a long time?"

The other party nodded, and also couldn't help yawning.

The scene was awkward for a while.

But at this moment, with a summer wind blowing from the peach grove outside the inn, Zhang Xing suddenly smelled a fragrant wind in the other party's room, and frowned on the spot: "Have you smoked incense?"

Li Ding shook his head, hesitant to speak.

"I smoked the incense." A voice suddenly came from behind Li Ding, and then a man in a purple coat and hat turned out the door.

She has a beautiful voice, a tall figure, a charming manner, and fair skin. Although she is dressed in men's clothes and covers her face with a veil, she is undoubtedly a very beautiful woman with a special color.

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Ding again, suddenly realized, and said quickly:
"It's like this, and I don't want to bother you two... But Han Shixiong's mess, if my family's inspections can't deal with it properly, I'm afraid the higher-ups will arrest another surnamed Bai and chop him off for the crime. I also ask Li Yuanwai to give a proper explanation. I'll go and give an explanation to my house inspection... If you do it early, it won't delay your happiness."

The woman froze for a moment, then stretched out her hand to touch her waist, as if she was going to get something, but Li Ding coughed helplessly: "According to the words of this Jinyi Xunqi, we have already made a decision."

Hearing this, the woman tied her hands, and Zhang Xing boldly passed Li Ding into the room, and then sat down, the military driver Wailang in front of the door had no choice but to sigh, turned around and sat down.

It was the woman who, after covering the door with her backhand, supported her waist with one hand, and stood behind Li Ding's side.

"I'll be blunt." Zhang Xing threw the embroidery knife on the table, and took it seriously. "Li Ding, your mother is the sister of the Duke of England, and you are the direct descendant of the Li family in Longxi. With such a background, you were famous in your early years, but you were only a member of the driving department at the age of 36. You were in charge of repairing the station, the way……"

"My family Li Lang is definitely not something in the pool." The woman in purple couldn't help but interjected. "Your Excellency, please respect yourself."

"I know, I know."

Zhang Xing hastened to perfunctory. "I don't say this to humiliate anyone, but to remind Li Yuanwai that what happened to Han Shixiong is not only open to the sky, but also to the ground. …Do you know, just when we came here, the Marquis of Ji’an gave us 50 taels of silver per person in the inspection team for our hard work!"

Li Ding was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "For those eunuchs, there are actually not many."

"The price of silver has skyrocketed." Zhang Xing said helplessly. "You don't want to show off the genealogy of the children of the aristocratic family. Let's discuss the matter. The biggest suspect in this matter is nothing more than your second uncle, third uncle and you. The three of you uncle and nephew coincided too well. Among them, you are the most unfounded... If you really can't find your cousin, you have to come up with an explanation, the words I just knocked on the door may not be true!"

The woman in purple was short of breath early on, but she didn't have an attack, she just glared at the person coming through the veiled hat.

As for Li Ding, after a moment of silence, he finally answered seriously: "Although I said so, I really didn't do this."

"Your cousin, don't you want to save him?" Zhang Xing frowned and glanced at the other party.

"Of course I do. My elder uncle's former British father-in-law treated me very well. Even if I have nothing to do with my cousin, I still want my elder uncle's kindness." Li Ding sighed. "But this case is bound to be hopeless, so what can I do? But I don't want to hide it from you, I asked for the rush to repair the road this time. I wanted to see my cousin on the road for the last time and say goodbye. ...In the end, the road was repaired, and it was only when I got here that I realized that he had escaped."

Zhang Xing nodded, and continued to ask: "Then what do you think is going to happen?"

"I think?" Li Ding asked in surprise.

"Not bad." Zhang Xing replied earnestly. "The reason why this case is troublesome is that it is a big case, a high-profile case, and the so-called matter is so important that it will definitely not work if there is no result. I understand, but if someone like your Excellency can give you an explanation that can make everyone suddenly understand, I would naturally wish for it, and I would be very grateful if you come to our inspection."

Li Ding hesitated for a moment, and gave an unsurprising answer: "Maybe it's my cousin who drank too much, stole the key after getting three people drunk, and escaped by himself in the heavy rain."

Zhang Xing nodded, didn't take it seriously, got up and picked up his saber to say goodbye, and even bowed slightly to the purple-clothed lady.

Li Ding could only bow his hands slightly behind the opponent.

"Brother, was he asking for a bribe just now?"

As soon as the man left, the lady in purple took off her veil and asked angrily.

"No." Li Ding hesitated for a moment, but still clasped his hands together and told the truth. "He's reminding me that if my cousin really can't be found and the matter becomes rigid, then the best solution to this matter is for me to come forward and frame any uncle of mine... In this way, the daughter of Ji'anhou's family will be If I can do a job for Cao Zhongcheng of Jing'an Terrace, I can save myself from being overwhelmed by the big waves."

The woman in purple was stunned for a moment, then exasperated: "Why is there such a villain?"

Li Ding shook his head slightly: "He is not a pure villain, but a smart man. A smart man sees what his superiors want and then speaks out his words and passes them on."

"Brother, do you mean Bai Yousi?" The woman in purple became more and more surprised. "She is well-known in the Eastern Capital, so she wants to be so shameless for the sake of her family?"

"No." Li Ding stood up, looked back at each other, and spoke simply. "It's Your Majesty and Uncle Cao."

The woman in purple was stunned.

After Li Ding took a deep breath, he thought for a moment, but he directly took the opponent's hand, and sincerely said to the woman in purple: "Shi Niang, this matter has encountered some difficulties. I can't make false accusations, but if I stay here, I'm afraid I'll expose my flaws again and get involved in vain... I just want to ask Shi Niang one thing, if I'm forced to die in the rivers and lakes and waste time again, would you like to come with me again?"

The woman's eyes suddenly became gentle: "What did you say, brother? You run away with all your heart, but you are accepted. Ten Niang is the only one in this life."

"Brother Zhang is back?"

When Zhang Xing returned to the lobby of Taolin Station, the members of the Jinyi patrol team that occupied the entire station were having a meal together. Bai Yousi was on top of them. There were many washed peaches on the table. It was Qin Bao who asked the question. "Third brother went to see that Yuanwailang Li Ding?"

Zhang Xing nodded quickly, and then sat down.

"What do you think of Li Ding? Is there any suspicion?" Qian Tang, who was on the opposite side, immediately put down the steamed buns in his hands, and he didn't want to be too obvious about sharing the worries of the inspector.

"How should I say it?" Zhang Xing, who had just sat down, sighed. "Unfathomable!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Immediately, Li Qingchen took the initiative to laugh: "It's just a one-time relationship, how do you know that he is unfathomable?"

"It's like this." Zhang Xing took a steamed bun in his hand and sincerely explained. "I haven't seen through Li Ding, but I have seen through his concubine..."

The hall was silent for a while, and almost everyone went to see Bai Yousi, and Bai Yousi, whose face was darkened, said coldly, "How is his concubine, how tall and fat?"

"Using how tall and fat to describe that kind of character is shallow."

Zhang Xingchao surrendered to his own leadership. "The woman's appearance, skin, demeanor, demeanor, and voice are all first-class existences I have seen in my life, and after I have connected the first six main channels, the five internal organs are connected with the four limbs. Although I am still far from a master, but basically The five senses in my body are obviously improved, but it is like this, but I have not noticed the position of the woman until she opened her mouth. It can be seen that the martial arts, or the level of cultivation is also very high..."

Bai Yousi obviously squinted his eyes, and everyone around him also looked at Zhang Xing seriously.

Zhang Xing didn't care about these gazes at all, but continued to explain seriously:
"It's very common for a woman to be outstanding in one aspect. She is outstanding in all aspects, and she has such martial arts. I can think of a woman who can be compared with her. Only one of us is the inspector... Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Think about it, if one day, our inspectors suddenly abandon their duties and commit themselves to a certain member of the family, follow them when they walk, sleep with them when they lie down, and regard him as a hero in the world, how do you think I should evaluate that person? Said he was a waste?
"I can only say, how unfair is the world, so that your ambition cannot be fulfilled?"

At this point, Zhang Xing followed Bai Yousi's gaze and turned his head to look at the upper floor, only thinking that the other party was still there, so he shouted from a distance: "Mr. Li, do you think that I am a person who buys a basket and returns pearls, and I don't know anyone?" Are you the real hero?"

"Stop yelling." Bai Yousi withdrew his gaze and said angrily. "When you took the steamed buns, they had already left!"

Zhang Xing broke open the steamed bun, took a bite, and said without any panic, "Since he escaped, isn't he a guilty conscience? Just ask the inspector to take it! Bind it in the woodshed!"

Bai Yousi gave a rare smile, and disappeared from the lobby the next moment.
