After everyone had dinner, they found it was still early, so Zhan Zhao wanted to go to Cao Jian's house in the south of the city to see the situation. In addition, he asked Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to take people to help find the lost maid from Bai Yutang's family.

Everyone was idle anyway, and they walked to the south of the city like they were eating.

Zhan Zhao's popularity can be seen from the number of people who greet him. He went all the way and found out that he really heard a lot of comments about the "Cao Jian".

Everyone summarized it briefly. Cao Jian is a talented man of a big and small family. He has a bad family background and has no future. He was originally not clear about a maid, he looked good and romantic, and was very good at provoking girls' families. However, he recently got into a good family. After getting married into a son-in-law, he was reborn. He looked at the aphrodisiac of a prince-consort and was arrogant.

Cao Jian happened last night. It is said that his house suddenly caught fire. At that time, Cao Jian was trapped in the study and did not come out. He also ended up dead without a body.

Zhan Zhao Baiyutang and the others arrived at the door of the house where the fire was at the Huangmen in the south of the city. The owner was Huang Yuanwai from Kaifeng Mansion. There were many wealthy families. Huang Yuanwai was not particularly rich, but his family was still very decent. However, he was so sad that he was preparing to hold a funeral.

The most worrying thing is that his daughter became a widow just after she got married. She fainted last night and has not woken up yet. I don’t know how to live the days after that. The old couple only sighed and cried.

Just as he was worried, the housekeeper came in and said, "Master, someone is here in Kaifeng Mansion."

Mr. Huang was slightly stunned, "Kaifeng Mansion? Who is here?"

"Sir Zhan."

Mr. Huang was shocked, "Zhan Zhao?"

"Yes." The housekeeper nodded, "I said I want to ask my son-in-law about it."

Mr. Huang slapped the table and stood up suddenly, scaring his wife.

"Master?" Mrs. Huang was puzzled.

"I just think it's so good that it's going to catch fire. No need to ask, someone is thinking about my son-in-law, maybe someone murdered him!" Mr. Huang said to the housekeeper, "Hurry up and invite Lord Zhan in!"

The butler nodded, thought for a while, and added, "He has brought a lot of people."

"Is it the yamen in Kaifeng Mansion?" Huang Yuanwai felt it was not uncommon. Zhan Zhao was a fourth-rank official at least. Kaifeng Mansion was also a grand yamen, so there was no reason why anyone came out to handle the case.

"It doesn't look like it." The housekeeper said, "Well, a young man in white is very handsome, and has a very pretty scholar, holding a child, and a man in black. He looks a little scary, and the other has red hair..."

Mr. Huang was worried and was annoyed by the housekeeper and stamped his feet, "Oh, don't care who he is. As long as it is brought by Zhan Zhao, please come in!"

"Yes!" The housekeeper ran away quickly.

After Zhan Zhao and others entered the Huang Mansion, they sat down in the living room for tea. Mr. Huang came out and apologized to Zhan Zhao first, saying that there was a funeral at home and they could not go out to greet him...

Zhan Zhao waved his hand, telling him not to be polite, that he came for business.

Mr. Huang asked Zhan Zhao what it was.

Zhan Zhao thought about it and did not say much about the maids of the Bai Mansion. He did not mean that he deliberately concealed or favored anyone, but that the situation is unclear now. If the matter is said to spread, it will probably cause panic in Kaifeng Prefecture.

"When I was having a meal, I heard someone mention that the fire was caught in the house of the official's house for no reason." Zhan Zhao said, "I think it's a bit strange, so I want to see the fired house and Mr. Cao's body... I don't know if it's convenient."

"Convenient!" Mr. Huang nodded, "I also think my son-in-law died strangely. Lord Zhan is willing to show it. I feel at ease. If it is a natural disaster, then I will admit it. But if someone plots to murder my son-in-law and make my daughter widowed, Lord Zhan, you must help me seek justice! I must go to Kaifeng Prefecture to tell the grievances."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Mr. Huang stood up and led the way.

The one on fire was the study in Huangfu, which was almost burned into scorched earth, the beams of the house were burned to carbon, and the entire house collapsed.

Ouyang Shaozheng squatted down and knocked on the charcoal as hard as a stone. He looked around and saw that everything except the study was intact.

Ouyang looked up at Zhao Pu, and Zhao Pu looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. Everyone knew it. The sky was not dry and there was no wind. How could it be so thoroughly burned unless it was splashed with turmeric oil...

"Can I look at the body?" Gongsun asked Mr. Huang.

"Okay, in the mourning hall in front. (This chapter is uploaded by netizens on the Internet)" Mr. Huang wanted to lead the way, but looked at Xiao Sizi with some concern, as if he was confused - the child also wanted to go to the mourning hall to see the body?

Gongsun remembered that although Xiao Sizi was not afraid of the corpse, he didn't need to look at it, so he took the opportunity to leave it to others for help and hug her.

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand, "Come on, little fourth son."

Usually, Gongsun has no time, and the first one to beat Xiao Si must be Zhao Pu.

This time the same is true. When Zhao Pu just opened his hand, Xiao Sizi also opened his hand, smiling as if he was about to pounce on him, but just after he was halfway through, Xiao Sizi suddenly seemed to have thought of something, pouted, turned around, and pounced on Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, and instinctively reached out to catch it, dragging Xiao Sizi, and the two looked at each other.

The little Sizi bulged his cheeks and stared at Bai Yutang, that's what he meant - he wanted you to hug him!

Bai Yutang looked at the little fourth son, and then looked at Zhao Pu...

Zhao Pu covered his heart - it hurts! The little fourth son hates him!

Zhan Zhao was also a little puzzled. He touched Zhao Pu gently, and that meant - what's wrong with him?

Zhao Pu was wronged, his head was shaking like a rattle - June Feishuang, I treat him as my own son so much!

Ouyang touched his chin, "Can the little fourth son see through the prince's rogue physique and thinks that those who are close to the ink are black and those who are close to the vermilion are red? The children have a future!"

Zhan Zhao looked at him speechlessly, and Ouyang smiled wickedly.

Gongsun followed Mr. Wang into the mourning hall, and was also looking at the situation behind him. He was a little puzzled - isn't Xiao Sizi the one who claims to like Zhao Pu the most? She stayed in a carriage for a night last night, and didn't know what to talk about at one big and one small? Zhao Pu was also bored enough. She could chat with a four and a half-year-old bun for one night. Why did Xiao Sizi suddenly ignore him today?

However, Gongsun didn't have time to think about it anymore. He went to the mourning hall with Mr. Huang. After sipping incense, he said "unruly" and went to check Cao Jian's body in the coffin.

Outside the yard, Zhan Zhao followed in because business matters, and Zhao Pu went to the corner of the station to treat his heartache. Ouyang patted his shoulder to show comfort.

He left Bai Yutang standing in the yard with Xiao Sizi in his arms and looking at him.

The little Sizi twisted twice and felt uncomfortable being hugged.

Bai Yutang felt uncomfortable hugging her, so she couldn't help but ask Xiao Sizi, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Sizi pouted and muttered in a low voice.

Xiao Sizi's voice was really light, but Bai Yutang heard it and seemed to be saying something, "Jiujiu said no one looked down on..."

Bai Yutang frowned, "No one looks down on anything?"

The little fourth son muttered, saying that Zhao Pu's mother asked him to marry, but he said that no one looked down on him.

Bai Yutang was curious, "So what?"

The little Sizi pouted, "He doesn't even look down on Daddy so good."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and was amused and crying. Seeing Zhao Pu in the distance, he was still secretly looking here, as if he cared about why Xiao Sizi ignored him.

Bai Yutang leaned into Xiao Sizi's ear and whispered, "You misunderstood. Zhao Pu said that someone he looked down on is a woman."

The little Sizi was stunned, "Woman?"

"Your father is a man." Bai Yutang said, looking up and helping Xiao Sizi ask Zhao Pu, "Do you like Gongsun?"

After hearing this, Zhao Pu nodded without even thinking about Bai Yutang's words.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows at Xiao Sizi, that's what he meant - look! No one looked down on you, you can look down on your father!

The originally calm face of Xiao Sizi turned upward, and her smile appeared...

Bai Yutang sighed secretly, the frown Tuanzi and the smiling Tuanzi looked really different.

After thinking about it, Bai Yutang walked over and put the little Si Zi in Zhao Pu's hand.

Zhao Pu laughed foolishly.

Xiao Sizi hugged her neck and shouted sweetly, "Ninety-nine!"

Zhao Pu was stunned, but he quickly responded, "Oh."

The little Sizi said happily, "Ninety-nine, it's the best!"

Zhao Pu felt relieved... At the same time, he was also surprised. Was this dumpling stuck in the meatballs when he was having a meal just now? His emotions were a bit overwhelming... I guess this is like his father. Oh, he is not a biological child, and he is also influenced by his father. Don’t be so angry like his father in the future. Be more careful and guide you correctly!

On the side, Ouyang Shaozheng touched his chin and looked at Bai Yutang, then looked at Xiao Sizi, thinking - Hey? It's interesting.

Bai Yutang turned around and entered the mourning hall. At this time, Gongsun was already checking the body.

Originally, Mr. Huang found a geomancer to repair Cao Jian's body. At least he looked like a piece of coke when he was buried. However, the geomancer was scared away at a glance and said that he could not repair it at all.

Gongsun carefully looked at the situation of the corpse, took out a pair of black gloves from his waist bag, and didn't know what silk was used to make. After putting it on, he took out a knife to cut the flesh between the neck of the corpse and cut it to his chest.

Mr. Huang was a little disgusted when he saw it, but he couldn't bear to see it, so he quickly ran outside to get some breath.

Zhan Zhao didn't know what Gongsun was going to do.

As soon as Bai Yutang stepped into the mourning hall, he saw Gongsun breaking open the chest of the charred corpse, reaching in, and taking out a lung...

Bai Yutang turned around silently and went out again.

Gongsun held his lungs and looked at them for a while, then put them back, then reached out and took out his hand for a while, and took out his liver.

Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched. Although he knew that it was normal for coroner to perform an autopsy, Gongsun's movement of taking out internal organs was as natural as Xiao Sizi reached out to his purse to take out candies. He felt that his throat was a little tight, and he really couldn't behave like a person.

Mr. Huang was wiping sweat outside, thinking that why this beautiful scholar who was so weak and stingy was so hard... so terrible.

Gongsun cut off a piece of liver, found a small bowl, put some potions he carried with him, and put them in. After a while, Zhan Zhao saw that the original colorless potion turned dark green and frowned... He, an outsider, knew that there must be a trick.

Gongsun left the mourning hall, went to the well in the yard, drew a bucket of water, poured in some medicine powder, took off the gloves, immersed them in the bucket, washed them carefully and put them away.

Everyone thought that his hands were clean and the gloves were waterproof. Then, Gongsun fed water again and carefully washed his hands with soapcorns.

Zhao Pu wondered and asked Xiao Sizi, "What kind of gloves are your father's pair of?"

Xiao Sizi replied, "It was Dad who specially asked the best female worker in his hometown to weave two layers of silk, with a layer of oil paper in it."

Zhao Pu knew it and nodded, "So that's it, your father is so smart."

The little fourth son's smile immediately grew a little bigger.
