Chapter 27 Concealment
Xiaomei is indeed a very kind and simple child, especially in the face of Ye Ke and Zhu You, the saviors, she has nothing to hide, not to mention, this is not a secret to her.

After Ye Ke invited the puzzled Xiaomei down, he put the household registration book in his hand in front of Zhu You, and looked at him intently.

Zhu You couldn't understand Ye Ke's meaning until now, because he clearly saw that there was only one family with the surname Zhang on the register, and that was Zhang Cheng.

According to records, in the fourth year of Emperor Xianzong, a family surnamed Zhang had a daughter named Zhang You, who was eight years old at the time. According to the existing clues, Xiaozhu must be right.

Ye Ke propped his hands on the table, leaned forward, looked at Zhu You with fiery eyes and said, "Sir, tell me, does Zhang Cheng know that Xiao Zhu is still alive?"

After a little thought, Zhu You said without hesitation: "I must know!"

"Oh? Why?" Ye Ke raised his eyebrows, wanting to test Zhu You.

"It's very simple. When Zhang Cheng made his confession, he mentioned the past events of the year. He was so sad, so crying, but he didn't mention his daughter at all. It means that he must know that Xiao Zhu is still alive. " Zhu Youzuo said in a thoughtful manner.

Indeed, what Zhu You said was correct. There was no problem with such an analysis direction. However, he was missing one most important detail, which could even determine the truth of the case.

"What details?" Zhu You asked puzzled.

Ye Ke said: "Not only does he know that Xiao Zhu is still alive, but he can clearly hide the details of his daughter's still alive, or in other words, the details of having a daughter!"

Zhu You was startled, and suddenly remembered that Lao Zhang had also worked in the Criminal Division for many years. He was very clear about the process and details of the investigation. For Uncle Guang's murder, all he could think of was his own. There will be a massive search for the murderer in the capital based on clues, but what he never expected was that because Ye Ke, Cheng Yaojin who escaped halfway, was found in the imperial city and also involved the past events of Xishan Village.

Few people who deal with homicide will travel thousands of miles to check the household registration book of a seemingly unrelated place, not in Dali Temple, not in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and not in the Criminal Division.

However, Ye Ke came.

So, what is Lao Zhang's purpose?

"Could it be that you are worried that people from the Duke's Mansion or Princess Qingyang will retaliate against Xiao Zhu?" Zhu You frowned.

Ye Ke's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said indifferently, "If you're worried, wouldn't it be better to arrange for Xiao Zhu to leave earlier?"

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment, and then, Ye Ke seemed to grab something, grabbed Zhu You's sleeve and rushed out the door.

Zhu You was no stranger to Ye Ke's sudden and sudden behavior, but he was slightly worried that the two of them were arguing, and the people in the house would see it and leave something to talk about, so he couldn't help but look around.

The two walked through the garden all the way to the front of a courtyard, which was the residence of the young master Zhu Yuan during his lifetime.

Although he had already searched here before, Zhu You still held back his curiosity and let Ye Ke pull himself into the bedroom.

Afterwards, Ye Ke began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, and after a while, Ye Ke crawled out from under the bed with a gray face, just like a Sadako.

"Sister-in-law, who is this?" Zhu You looked at Ye Ke in confusion, like looking at a fool.

The layout of the entire room is not complicated. Ye Ke searched almost all the places where people could hide, behind the curtains, in the closet, and under the bed. Finally, he found some clues, but it was not enough for Ye Ke.

Ye Ke patted the dust on his head, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, my lord, this case is not closed yet, in a few more days, I will definitely give you the real truth."

As for her methods, Zhu You believed in her methods until now, so she didn't say much. The two left the Duke's Mansion and returned to the Criminal Division. Just as they were about to enter the door, a man with a dust whisk walked towards him—— Eunuch Zhang!

"Master Ti Xing, this time, you really want to enter the palace with the miscellaneous family!" Eunuch Zhang said with a hint of pleading.

When Zhu Youzheng was hesitating, his father-in-law's face was almost crowded into a pile, and he hurriedly said, "Oh, my Lord Ti Xing, you didn't go last time, the emperor almost skinned the old slave. , this time you will spare the old slave!"

Ye Ke looked amused to himself, and said to Zhu You: "You go now, with Jian Jiu here, there will be no trouble, and I won't run around."

Seeing that Zhu You nodded, the father-in-law cast a grateful look at Ye Ke, and kept muttering from time to time: "Oh, you are the only one who dares to let the emperor dove through the ages! Please, please. "

Seeing that Zhuyou was leaving in the chariot, Ye Ke called Jian Jiu and whispered in his ear, then Jian Jiu nodded and disappeared.

She came to the dungeon.

Looking at the haggard but smiling old Zhang, Ye Ke sat on the ground opposite him regardless of the dirt on the ground, took out a bottle of good wine and said, "Uncle Zhang. ?”

Lao Zhang seemed to be in a good mood, he smiled happily and said, "Haha, okay, two or two."

Ye Ke fed him a drink, and the excess wine flowed from the corner of his mouth all over his neck, but he let out a sigh of relief.

"You don't want to drink?" Old Zhang asked curiously as he watched Ye Ke put down the wine jar.

Ye Ke rubbed his hands, smiled slowly: "I was dreaming, I drank to death in my previous life, so I quit."

Maybe it was because Ye Ke's words were a little rambling and eclectic, but Lao Zhang kept boasting that Ye Ke was a wonderful person.

The two chatted for a while, mostly Ye Ke started the topic, and Lao Zhang agreed, talking about post-mortem examinations and prison breaking techniques. The more they talked, Ye Ke also gave Lao Zhang a lot of popular science, especially when talking Dao, when he confirmed Wang Tianbei's identity by looking at the pubic symphysis, Lao Zhang sighed again and again.

"The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and generations of talented people come out! It's a pity that I can no longer work with you!" Lao Zhang said in a regretful tone.

Assassinating the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, together with Uncle Guang's charges, is enough for Lao Zhang to die a hundred times, but seeing Lao Zhang in front of him waiting to be executed, but with a smile on his face, and calmly going to die, Ye Ke actually couldn't bear to break it. his dream.

However, in Ye Ke's case, legal principles are always more important than human emotions.

"Uncle Zhang, does she know that you helped your daughter take the blame?" Ye Ke, who was chatting, changed the subject and spoke suddenly.

Lao Zhang's smile froze on his face, and he said awkwardly: "Miss Ye, I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"No, you understand what I'm talking about very well." Ye Ke confronted, and then flashed a sachet in his hand.

The two were silent for a moment, and then Ye Ke found that half of Old Zhang's face was hidden in the darkness, and the other half of his face was full of anger, his teeth were clenched, showing a fierce look. It's as terrifying as a ghost crawling out of hell.
