Bao Qingshan took Fan Cheng back to the yamen. Fan Cheng knelt in front of the prefect Han and confessed his crime.

He is engaged in the wine dealer business and often goes out at night without returning home. Last month, Fan Cheng accidentally encountered the love between his wife Meng and He Zhaofeng.

A man was cuckolded and he had no need to express his anger. Fan Cheng's first idea was to kill Meng and vent his hatred, but that would not harm He Zhaofeng, and he would not be able to deal with He Zhaofeng again. Instead, the government would easily find out about his crime of killing his wife.

Fan Chengru thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone.

He knew that He Zhaofeng liked to drink the wine he brewed. The two beautiful celadon cups in his home were bought by Meng's family for He Zhaofeng. He was not allowed to touch them normally. The wine jars that Meng chose had been opened and sealed, so it would be difficult for him to find out if he had less of this.

Fan Cheng went to a foreign county to buy a pill. He set out to take a meal at Lu Liu's house yesterday. He secretly put the pill in the jar of wine that had been drunk most of the time, and then put a jar of equal portions of wine in the bottom. Fan Cheng also clearly told Meng that he would not come back tonight. In the middle of the night, while Lu Liu was sleeping soundly, Fan Cheng secretly returned home and covered Meng's death with a pillow, and deliberately injured Meng's body, causing the illusion that He Zhaofeng was rude and forced Meng.

When he really killed someone, Fan Cheng suddenly regretted and feared. He forgot to change the wine jar and left in a daze. He only remembered the wine jar in the morning. Therefore, after returning home, Fan Cheng deliberately vomited Lu Liuyi to buy time for himself and complete the most important step.

When the incident happened in the morning, the neighbors believed that Meng was killed by He Zhaofeng. Fan Cheng became more and more confident. Unexpectedly, the headmaster Bao Qingshan of the government office believed him, but he was found by a headmaster Zhao who was beaten to find the clues and found ironclad evidence.

But Fan Cheng felt that he was wronged and cried, asking the prefect Han: "Sir, they both have sex with me and rape me. Shouldn't they die?"

The prefect Han slapped the agglomeration heavily and said angrily: "According to the laws of this dynasty, men and women who are traitorous should be imposed for thousands of miles. If the crime is not punished, even if it is killed, it should be executed by the yamen. It is not your turn to do it! The person who comes, put Fan Cheng in a prison!"

Before leaving, Fan Cheng still stared at He Zhaofeng hatefully.

The arrest of private communication is common for He Zhaofeng. He specially raised a lawyer to argue for him. This time, because Fan Cheng's crime of killing his wife was confirmed, he also used a mysterious medicine. It was even easier for He Zhaofeng to get rid of the crime. He just needs to say that he was invited by Meng to borrow money for tea and before he could do anything, he drank the mysterious medicine. He didn't know anything about the medicine. Fan Cheng made a fuss to frame him. His previous testimony was to get rid of the suspicion of murder, which was definitely not the truth.

The prefect Han had no choice but to release him.

In addition to continuing to criticize He Zhaofeng and Erye, the people who heard about this matter praised Captain Zhao from Wu'an County. They spread one by one and a hundred times, and Zhao Yanping was actually known as a detective.

All of this has nothing to do with Zhao Yanping. He returned to Xie Ying and continued to listen to the affairs of the prefect Han and the magistrates.

Until dusk, Zhao Yanping and Shun Ge'er followed Xie Ying out of the government office and saw He Zhaofeng leading two servants to stand outside. In the morning, He Zhaofeng was in a very embarrassed dress. At this time, he changed into a white brocade robe, wearing a jade crown and a folding fan, and was charming, as if he had changed into another person.

Seeing Zhao Yanping, He Zhaofeng walked up quickly, bowed with both hands and gave a big gift to Zhao Yanping: "Thank you today for Master Zhao, for clearing my grievances. I specially booked a banquet at Qingfeng Tower. I also asked Lord Xie and Master Zhao to move, and allow me to give up all the friendship of the landlords."

Xie Ying smiled lightly and looked at Zhao Yanping.

Zhao Yanping said seriously: "The prefect ordered me to investigate the case. I just did my best. Mr. He doesn't have to thank me."

He Zhaofeng smiled and said, "How can I do it if I don't thank Master Zhao. Just relying on Captain Bao's ability, I have to be punished for murder. Let's go to the restaurant and have a few pots tonight. We won't go back tonight."

Zhao Yanping wanted to refuse, but Xie Ying suddenly came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. He Erfu, Brother Zhao should go. It is said that the He family's industries are spread throughout the Jiangnan area. Brother Zhao met Mr. He Erfu. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can ask Mr. He Erfu for help."

Zhao Yanping immediately understood what Xie Ying meant and looked at He Zhaofeng, who was very attentive. Zhao Yanping bowed to Xie Ying and said, "Then the little people will go with He Erye. Please inform the concubine."

Xie Ying nodded and took Shun Ge'er back to Guanyi.

He Zhaofeng invited Zhao Yanping to Qingfeng Tower with great enthusiasm.

When he arrived at the private room, He Zhaofeng took the initiative to pour wine for Zhao Yanping. His gratitude was beyond words, so he was almost like to become a brother of another surname with Zhao Yanping.

Zhao Yanping just drank silently, basically He Zhaofeng was talking about it.

After three rounds of drinking, He Zhaofeng suddenly clapped his hands, and the door of the private room was opened. A servant walked in with a tray covered with red silk, put it back and took it to the door.

Zhao Yanping looked at He Zhaofeng.

He Zhaofeng lifted the red silk, revealing a tray of small ingots, and smiled and said to Zhao Yanping: "I said that if Mr. Zhao can help me get rid of my crime, I will have a lot of money to repay. This is five hundred taels. I have a little intention. Please accept it with a smile."

Zhao Yan glanced at the silver ingots and said, "I won't collect the silver, but I do have something to ask the second master for help."

He Zhaofeng said suspiciously: "Is that so? Mr. Zhao, please tell me, although I, He Zhaofeng, have been a bit of a woman, I value loyalty. Mr. Zhao has saved me. As long as I can do what you ask me, I will definitely go through fire and water."

Zhao Yanping took a sip of wine and told me how his sister Xiangyun was lost and how she had no news for many years: "Relying on me to find a girl alone is like finding a needle in a haystack. The second master has a strong family property and a wide connection, which may help me."

He Zhaofeng first scolded Zhao Er and his wife hatefully, then patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Master Zhao, I will do nothing next, and I will go to find Miss Xiangyun for Master Zhao. Sooner or later, I will give you an answer." After that, He Zhaofeng called the restaurant staff to get paper and pen, and asked Zhao Yanping to draw a portrait of Xiangyun for him, and then wrote clues such as the date of birth that would help find people.

Zhao Yanping no longer remembers his sister's appearance, not to mention that more than ten years have passed, and his 21-year-old sister is almost completely different from his six-year-old sister.

He wrote down the hometown names of Zhao family and others, and the date of birth of his sister. When he was a child, his left knee was injured. The bones were fine, but there was a scar on his knee, which might not have disappeared. As for the birthmark, Zhao Yanping asked his mother and the old lady. Both of them said that his sister did not have obvious birthmarks and a light-colored mole on the collarbone, but there were too many people with moles, so this clue was not very useful.

He Zhaofeng really wanted to help, and even wrote down Zhang Guaizi's name.

Zhao Yanping thanked him instead.

He Zhaofeng smiled and said with a cheerful smile: "Mr. Zhao is so polite. When I really find Miss Xiangyun, it will not be too late for Mr. Zhao to thank me again."

As night fell outside the window, Zhao Yanping stopped drinking.

He Zhaofeng walked to the front of the official gate.

Before entering, Zhao Yanping advised He Zhaofeng: "The second master is romantic, you can go to a brothel to buy singing. Don't provoke good women in the future. Even if they are moved by the second master first, the second master is just following the flow, but the females have no ability to protect themselves. Once they are discovered by their husband's family, they will be difficult to die. Fan Cheng's wife is an example."

When talking about Meng, He Zhaofeng sighed deeply. In the government office, he was eager to protect himself, so he could only push all of them on Meng. However, he had a neck tangled last night. The beauty of Mian woke up and died of Fan Cheng's hand. He Zhaofeng felt bad. Even if the old father at home did not scold him, even if Zhao Yanping did not persuade him, He Zhaofeng decided to change his usual romantic style.

He swore to the sky, "Don't worry, after this incident, I will definitely change my past. If you dare to attract bees and butterflies to cause trouble to the woman, I will punish me to hit the sky and thunder, and I will not..."

Zhao Yanping pulled his hand and said, "The Second Master is enough to be honest. There is no need to make this swearing. It's too late, so the Second Master will go back."

He Zhaofeng said goodbye.

Zhao Yanping entered the official post.

Xie Ying and a magistrate played chess in the house. They had a great time talking. Zhao Yanping said hello and went to the back.

Gillian was still staying in the west, and the maids went to the front yard to serve her. She was the only one left in the yard. In this strange place, Gillian was a little scared. Zhao Yanping asked the old lady who was responsible for delivering food to call her. Gillian heard that the official had finally come back, so she picked up the sewing basket and ran out. Anyway, they were going to return to Wu'an County tomorrow morning, so she was not afraid of being laughed at by the old lady.

"Official."

When he arrived at the door, he saw the familiar tall figure. Gillian slowed down instead and looked at him with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes, and he wanted to speak.

Zhao Yanping thought of a little local dog I raised when he was a child, and his eyes were also black and shiny. Every time he went home, the little local dog would run to him happily, put his front paws on his legs, shook his tail and raised his head, and looked at him bluntly.

"Have you eaten dinner?" Zhao Yanping asked.

Gillian nodded.

Zhao Yanping said, "Go back first, pack up your things, and set off tomorrow morning."

The two walked east together. Jiao smelled his alcoholic smell. For some reason, she thought of Mrs. Zhao's advice. Mrs. Zhao said that there was a river on the side of the city full of brothels, so she kept a close eye on the official and refused to let the official drink. Before, Brother Shun came to inform her, and the official handled a case. The person invited him to drink, but he did not say where the drinking place was.

Gillian quietly approached the official and sniffed, but fortunately, she didn't smell the smell of powder.

"Official, what case did you handle today? Can you tell me?"

Cui Niang likes to listen to the officials telling cases, and Gillian also likes to listen.

She spent two days in this unfamiliar place, and she was bored even if she thought about it. Zhao Yanping simply talked about today's case.

After talking about the case, before Gillian asked a question, Zhao Yanping was about to go to the water room to fetch water.

Gillian's mind was full of death, and she was scared and said nervously: "I'll go with the official."

Zhao Yanping saw through and didn't say it out loud, and took her with him.

Gillian was scared, but she was curious about her death. As soon as she came back, she immediately asked: "How did the official determine that Mr. He was wronged?"

Cui Niang complained that the official explained the case too much, so they had to ask the bottom of it.

Zhao Yanping was silent for a moment, without mentioning anything too details, and said: "Mr. He Ershi's neck was stained with Meng's lip fat. If Meng was forced by him all the time, how could he kiss him?"

After saying that, Zhao Yanping retreated outside the door and asked Gillian to wipe her body first.

Gillian was absent-minded again, and the lip fat on her neck turned out to be a man and a woman. When it’s good, can a woman kiss a man’s neck?

After Gillian finished wiping, she put on her clothes and asked the official to come in.

When the official came in, Gillian couldn't help but secretly glance at his neck. She knew that what was the best thing to kiss on the neck?

How could her little movements hide Zhao Yanping's eyes? Zhao Yanping's throat tightened. If he had known that such a sentence could cause her random thoughts, he would not say it.

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Yanping put one hand on his belt and reminded Gillian that it was time to lie down on the bed.

Gillian came back to her senses, annoyed that she was actually in a daze at this time and hid in the bed with a red face.

Tonight, Zhao Yanping blew the oil lamp first, then undressed in the dark, and wiped his body with a wet wipe.

A Jiao picked the pillow and bit her lip and thought, the official did not blow the light two nights ago, but she blew it tonight. Could it be that the official was kissed by a woman and left lip fat, so she was afraid that she would see it?

A few ants crawled in his heart. The more he endured, the more itched he became. Finally, when the official was lying down, he asked in a low voice: "Where did Mr. He ask the official to drink? He is such a romantic person, why did he take the official to some unreasonable place?"

Zhao Yanping was about to cover her with a quilt, but when he heard this, he paused. Was she trying to judge him?

Gillian was just trying to interrogate him, but she was timid and hurriedly found a backer for herself: "Before we set off, the old lady told me to take care of the official and not allow the official to drink wine."

Zhao Yanping whispered: "I never drink flower wine. I went to Qingfenglou tonight, just on the street we have been to."

The sound fell and the quilt was also placed on Gillian.

Gillian said "Oh".

Accompanied by the creaking sound, Zhao Yan lay down steadily, with only half of his body covered with a quilt.

Gillian turned around and the topic returned to the case: "It doesn't prove that Mr. He Er didn't kill anyone, right?"

Zhao Yanping said: "I found a wine mixed with medicine under Meng's bed... Fan Cheng had already planned to kill his wife and blame Mr. He Er."

Gillian understood completely and sighed: "Fan Cheng is also cruel enough. Since he is prepared, he will lead people to arrest him directly. The traitor can punish Meng and He Erye. Why do you have to kill Meng? After all, he has been a couple for many years, so how can he be cruel?"

Zhao Yanping looked at the dark bed top without answering.

He couldn't answer, either.

The word "human heart" has the least reason.
