Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 93
In just a moment, Yao Manqing suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the doctor's wrist. She almost exerted all her strength, and her nails sank deeply into the doctor's wrist.The doctor was in pain and was about to speak out when he suddenly caught Yao Manqing's gaze and swallowed back his voice in fright.

He has never seen such a vicious and fierce gaze, which is bloody and murderous, not like what a pampered boudoir girl should have.

After only a moment, that gaze was retracted again, Yao Manqing pursed her lips, and gestured to the pillow with her eyes.

A corner of Chengcheng Huang was exposed under the pillow, the doctor's heart moved, he pretended to bend over to take the medicine box, and passed his hand past the pillow calmly.The thing was heavy, cold, and in the shape of an ingot.

A smile appeared on the doctor's mouth, and he gave Yao Manqing a knowing look.Yao Manqing smiled back, and then gently closed her eyes, her eyelashes were long and her breath was light, as if she had been falling asleep the whole time and hadn't woken up yet.

Gongsun Ce raised his teacup to drink tea, his eyelids lifted, through the half-open door, he saw the servant leading the doctor out.He thought for a while, and when he looked up again, Duanmucui, who had changed his clothes, was walking in the door while wiping his hair with a towel.

Gongsun Ce indicated the doctor's direction of departure with his eyes: "Miss Duanmu, the doctor who treated Miss Yao just left."

"En." Duanmucui responded casually.

Gongsun Ce knew she didn't understand: "Go out quickly and ask him about it."

"What are you asking?" Duanmucui was surprised.

"Ask about the situation of Miss Yao's family, what kind of medicine do you need to take, and when you go to see her at night, it's better to be prepared, rather than empty-handed."

Duanmucui curled her lips: "Where do you need to bring things there, I'm her lifesaver."

"Since it's just acting, it's not harmful to do enough." Gongsun Ce smiled, "Besides, it's okay now anyway."

"That's true." Duanmucui thought for a while, threw the handkerchief in his hand on Gongsun Ce's table, and walked out in three steps at a time.

Get out the door, look around, an old man with a medicine box on the right has walked dozens of feet away.Duanmucui guessed that he was the doctor, so she called him: "Hey, doctor, stop for a while."

The old man was taken aback, and quickly glanced back, instead of stopping, he walked even more hastily.

Duanmu Cui was surprised: "Hey, doctor."

This time he walked faster—almost a trot.

Duanmucui was suspicious: this doctor, why is he acting like a thief?
So he shouted and chased after him: "Hey, doctor, stop, I have something to ask you."

Duanmucui didn't stop yelling at him, she was annoyed, she glanced at some broken stones at the base of the wall, without thinking, she reached out and took one, and hit the doctor's knee.

According to Miss Yao Manqing's misfortune, we can deduce that Miss Duanmu's hit rate is still very high - as expected, the doctor fell to the ground with a sound of ouch, the medicine box fell open, and the contents of the medicine box fell to the ground. all over the place.This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that an ingot of gold ingot fell out of his armhole, and Gululu rolled far away.

Duanmucui's gaze was also glued to the gold ingot.Wherever Jin Yuanbao rolled, her eyes would stick there.When the doctor endured the pain and got up to reorganize the medicine box, Duanmucui took the gold ingot in his hands first, looked up and down the doctor's shabby clothes, and sneered: "You thief!"

"Hey, girl, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately!" The doctor calmed down, "Go back to Yao's house and inquire about it. Miss Yao's family rewarded me."

"Miss Yao's rewarded you?" Duanmucui was a little unbelievable, as far as the food and clothing expenses of the Yao family were seen in the past two days, it didn't look like a family with a lot of money.

"If you don't believe me, ask Miss Yao yourself." The doctor angrily reached out and snatched the gold ingot, slammed the top cover of the medicine box shut, slung the strap over his shoulder, and walked away.

Duanmucui was a little unwilling: "Why did Miss Yao give you such a big ingot of gold?"

The doctor didn't even look back: "I treated her, and she rewarded me."

"What disease?"

The doctor's body suddenly trembled, and he turned his head slowly, with a strange expression: "It's nothing, just being frightened, submerged in water and catching cold, after a few days of recuperation, everything will be fine." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. After walking a long way, he was a little worried after all, and secretly looked back.

Seeing this, he almost didn't vomit blood with anger: Duanmucui didn't leave, but followed him unhurriedly, and when he saw him turn around, he looked up and smiled at him as if nothing happened.

"You, why are you still following?" The doctor was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.

Duanmucui twisted her braids with one hand, and answered sincerely: "I don't think you're telling me the truth."

The doctor shuddered and pretended to be calm: "Why didn't I tell you the truth?"

"I haven't thought of it yet." Duanmucui frowned, "I'll ask you when I think about it."

She was telling the truth, and for some reason, she always felt that the doctor's answer was weird, and she couldn't tell what the difference was - but she was unwilling to let him go like this, so she simply let him go. Follow first.

The doctor had a ghost in his heart, and couldn't stand her following like this: "If you follow again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Why did I hinder you by following you?" Duanmucui felt more and more that something was wrong with him.

The doctor was at a loss, so he had no choice but to continue walking, and when he turned around again, she continued to follow, and smiled again, which made him panic in his heart.He didn't feel at all how honored it was to be followed by a young and beautiful woman. In his eyes, she was a burden, a great burden.

After walking for a while, I entered a secluded alley and passed a house with a lock on the door. There was a broom and a jar at the door.The doctor decided to use force, he snorted up and grabbed the broom, and swished twice in mid-air: "If you don't leave, believe it or not, I will hit you?"

He was serious: this girl was as annoying as a beggar or a bum begging for money, and the beating was her own fault.

Duanmucui stopped in her tracks: "Don't let me follow you, I think you have ghosts in your heart."

The doctor gritted his teeth, and threw his broom towards her.

For a moment, the broom flew into space, rubbed his eyes and looked around, but the big living person was gone.Just as he was surprised, someone poked his spine from behind, and when he looked back, Duanmucui's face was as cold as ice three or nine days ago: "I wanted to talk to you nicely, but now, you ask for it."

Before the doctor could react, his neck tightened suddenly, and Duanmucui grabbed his collar and dragged him back. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't take it off—how could a weak-looking girl have such strong hands?Just as he was wondering, he staggered, and the next moment his head was pushed into the vat of water. In an instant, the cold water in the vat poured into his neck, ears, and mouth.

"Hmm..." He desperately wanted to raise his head, kicking his feet around.For a while, he was still wriggling his buttocks, trying to cause a certain degree of impact to the opponent, but failed.

With a splash, he finally breathed air again, the doctor tried to open his eyes, through the dripping water from the eyelids, he saw Duanmucui's sneer.

"Tell me, what's going on with Miss Yao's family?"

"I really do not know."

Gululu... Gululu...continue to struggle...cough...

With a clatter, he pulled his head up again: "What's going on with Miss Yao's family?"

"I really……"

Gollum... Gollum...

Pulling it up again: "What's going on?"

"Miss Yao's family is suffering from wind and cold, and her body is weak, so she needs to take good care of her..."

After finishing his speech, there was no movement for a moment, and just as he was overjoyed, his eyes went dark, and the little aunt pushed him down again.

Gollum...

"Speak or not?"

"Miss Yao's family is cold..."

Gollum...

"Still telling the truth?"

"She has a chronic illness, her heart is weak, and she may not live long..."

"wrong!"

Gollum...

Duanmucui became ruthless. She actually didn't have conclusive evidence to doubt what the doctor said, but she just felt that it was wrong, that he didn't tell the truth, so she simply pressed it down, and pressed it down again, so she couldn't drown him anyway.

Gollum... Gollum... Gollum... Gollum...

I don’t know how many times I grunted, the doctor finally made an important decision: gold is certainly a good thing, but life is more precious. Isn’t there an old saying that gold and silver are precious and life is more expensive?

So during the short interval when his head was lifted out of the water, he yelled hoarsely with all his strength: "Miss Yao is pregnant, pregnant!"

Gongsun Ce had already drank four cups of tea, and was about to pour the fifth cup. While pouring, he wondered: This girl is just talking to the doctor. Could it be that she has changed her apprenticeship?

Just as he was thinking about it, Duanmucui swept in like a gust of wind, and his expression turned extremely ugly: "Sir, let's go find Zhan Zhao."

Yao Zhizheng didn't stop them from going to see Zhan Zhao again, but his face was already quite ugly.Although Yao Manqing's falling into the water was purely an "accident", in his opinion, Zhan Zhao was still the initiator of all unfortunate events.

In order to take care of the overall situation, Gongsun Ce had to say something to smooth things over, Duanmucui was not so good-tempered, and from the beginning to the end, her face was drawn like a late lady, and she had already thought about it: If this bad old man disagrees, Press it into the tank, there is no need to discuss it!
Finally seeing Zhan Zhao again, Gongsun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Duanmucui: "Miss Duanmu, what exactly did you find, can you tell me now?"

Zhan Zhao was startled when he heard the words, and also looked at Duanmucui.She seemed to be angry with someone, and it seemed that she was still very angry.

She didn't look at anyone, and with a gloomy face, she told everything about what she had seen and heard just now.

After speaking, the whole room was silent, Gongsun Ce stood there in a daze, the lantern in his hand seemed to be shaken, and the lamp flame did not move.

It took him a long time before he murmured: "So, the matter of Zhan Huwei was premeditated, planted and blamed. Since Miss Yao's family is pregnant, then that night... her Luohong..."

Suddenly thought of something, and sighed with clapping palms: "Yes, today she fell into the water and was rescued. I saw a knife wound on her elbow. Could it be that the so-called 'Luohong' is..."

Erqing frowned: "It's strange, she has no grievances with Zhanwei, why did she frame her up like this? Could it be that the Yao family knew that Zhanwei was here to investigate Yao Meiren's affairs, and deliberately set up this poisonous scheme?" He had previously Talking to himself, Duanmucui just listened and didn't comment. When he heard about Yao Meiren, he suddenly shook his head and said, "No, this matter has nothing to do with Yao Meiren."

Zhan Zhao wondered: "Don't say it's Mr., even I'm wondering whether the Yao family's affairs have something to do with Yao Meiren, Duanmu, why are you so sure that Yao Meiren is not involved?"

Duanmucui sighed, and had no choice but to tell the story of Yao Manbi's soul, and finally said: "I asked that beauty Yao, after she entered the palace, she almost lost contact with the Yao family, and she did not collude with anyone to escape from the palace. Said. Moreover, her soul was scattered in a daze, and she had been staying in the palace peacefully before, so it is pure nonsense that she got involved and injured the person on duty at night."

Zhan Zhao was startled, and was about to ask a few more questions, but Duanmucui became impatient, stomping his foot and said, "Zhan Zhao, don't worry about that beauty Yao for now, you are serious about yourself. Now the truth is out, you don't have to suffer this kind of questioning." I'm getting so dirty, I'll go find that old man Yao Zhizheng. His daughter was having a private meeting with someone outside, but in the end he wants you to take the blame, is he shameless?" He turned around and left, Fang took two steps, and then Listen to Zhan Zhao calling her from behind: "Duanmu."

Duanmucui walked back angrily: "What's the matter?"

Zhan Zhao sighed: "With your temper, why are you so anxious all the time?"

Duanmucui's eyes immediately widened: "I am anxious? I don't know why I am anxious! You think I am anxious? Then I am not in a hurry. Do whatever you want. It is best that you and Miss Yao's family get married tomorrow. , it’s good to grow old together.”

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but laugh: "The more I talk, the more out of line I am."

Duanmucui did what she said, and she really wasn't in a hurry. Not only was she not in a hurry, she didn't even glance at Zhan Zhao, her eyelids were slightly closed, and she looked as relaxed as possible, just like Lafayette who was drinking afternoon tea.

Gongsun Ce laughed secretly, but there was something in his heart after all, he paused for a moment and raised his brows worriedly: "Miss Duanmu, the evidence you found is certainly useful, but it is still not enough to rescue the guards of the exhibition. Have you ever thought about it? Existing evidence cannot at all prove that Guard Zhan did not rape her that night."

Duanmucui didn't say a word.

"She can completely deny the aphrodisiac. Anyway, we have no conclusive evidence to prove that Zhanwei was drugged that night. She had an affair with another man before, and being raped by Zhanwei is completely different. The clues you found It can only prove that Ms. Yao's conduct is bad, but it can't help Zhan Wei get rid of the crime. Taking a step back, even if it can be proved that she drugged Zhan Wei that night, as long as she insists that Zhan Wei has violated her, It is impossible for Zhanwei to retreat completely."

Duanmucui listened quietly, without saying a word.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, and said softly, "You understand now?"

Duanmucui glanced at him, and said slowly, "What do you understand? Anyway, I'm in no--emergency."

Don't worry about the three words, the tone is so long, the face is full of indifference, and Zhan Zhao's teeth itch when he sees it.

Gongsun Ce sighed: "You two, when will you be in a hurry? It's such a time, are you still worrying about making trouble?" When he said this, he suddenly felt indescribably tired.The light of the horse lantern reflected on his face that had aged a lot in the past few days, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much deeper than before.

He was really worried about Zhan Zhao.Compared with Zhan Zhao, he is much older, and he understands the gully of the officialdom and the difficulty of the road ahead. If this matter does not end well, Zhan Zhao's situation is extremely difficult, and he is afraid that he will end up in jail The end - this is what he does not want to see anyway.In his eyes, the Nan Xia, who has long been famous in the Jianghu, is just like a young nephew who is rising up, who needs the guidance of his elders and the seemingly nagging worries.

When can you two be more anxious?It's such a time, are you still worrying about making trouble?

Duanmucui was startled when he heard this, and for some reason, a lot of guilt suddenly surged in his heart.

"Mr. Gongsun..." She mumbled, "I'm actually... very anxious."

Gongsun Ce didn't speak, but just smiled.Under the dim light of the lantern, his smile was tired and powerless.

"Mr. Gongsun," Duanmucui was a little sad, "Don't worry, I will find a way."

Gongsun Ce still didn't speak, smiled again, and slowly turned to leave.

His back is a little stooped, and his steps are much heavier.Never before has Duanmucui been so strongly aware that Gongsun Ce in front of him is already an old man.

Her eyes suddenly became wet.

"I will figure out a way." Duanmucui bit her lip and murmured stubbornly.

Someone gently took her hand from the side.

"Zhan Zhao..." She raised her head to look at him, her vision gradually blurred, she did not hide her sadness, and she was a little bit wronged.

Zhan Zhao didn't know how to comfort her, so he said softly after a long time, "Duanmu, sir, I'm not angry with you."

"Hmm." The voice was low, and the head was lowered.Zhan Zhao has never seen her like this before, like a child who did something wrong, the softest part of her heart was suddenly touched.

"Duanmu," he changed his relaxed expression, with a slight smile, "If you can master your wall-penetrating technique, it will be great."

"Why?" Duanmucui raised his head to look at him, his eyelids were still slightly red, at the same time, he felt a little complacent in his heart: I just didn't tell you that I succeeded, I'll surprise you then!
"Because..." Zhan Zhao paused, the corners of his lips slowly raised.His eyes were clear and clean, without anxiety or hesitation, but with concentration and clarity.He gently approached her ear and whispered, "Duanmu, I want to hug you."

Duanmucui didn't react at first, and then, her face turned red, and even the roots of her ears were rosy.
