Hu Yue's face turned livid with anger and she almost fainted. She pointed at Zhao San'er and wanted to scold him, but was so angry at his shameless manner that she forgot her words and could only place her hands on her hips and breathe heavily.
Seeing that the two of them were making a fuss, Chief An shouted sternly: "Zhao San'er, someone is dead now. This is a murder case. It's not a petty theft you used to do. If you don't say anything, you'll be in trouble for ten thousand years." There are plenty of ways for you to talk in the county jail."
Zhao San'er still looked like he was not stingy, lying on the ground with his arms stretched out, vowing to fight to death until the end.
He was already disheveled, but when he rolled like this, he looked more like crawling out of an ashes, muttering: "Anyway, she died when I came in. I don't know how she died. I didn’t see who killed her, so you’re going to be sentenced to death, and I’m going to say the same thing.”
An Baotou staggered in anger, this is a piece of meat on a hob, no wonder it can be so bad and prosperous.
He could lock this piece of meat back to the government office, but there is no proof, and it is not his style to beat him into submission.
He was tugging on his beard, thinking about what to do with the soft and hard meat in front of him, which he wanted to eat for free. Then a servant ran out of the backyard and whispered something in his ear.
His expression changed, and he said to the officer: "Hurry up and go to Jingzhao Mansion."
The yamen servant didn't dare to slack off and turned around and walked out.
The food in the Han family has always been simple, not crude, but definitely not as exquisite as those in the capital.
However, the few people here are not particular people. They have always had a warm mouth and just need to eat enough.
Yao Yao took a piece of elbow meat with bamboo chopsticks and paired it with corn rice in the bowl. He ate it with gusto and could not help but squint his eyes.
There is free pork elbow with soy sauce and some radish flowers.
Han Changmu sat opposite Yao Yao and raised his eyebrows when he saw her appearance.
He is really a big-hearted person. He has been squeezed to this point, but he can still eat it.
Everyone adhered to the rule of saying nothing when eating or sleeping, and quietly ate the lunch in front of them.
A servant hurriedly walked to the door of the flower hall, saluted Jin Yu, and whispered something in a low voice. Jin Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Invite him to have tea in the side hall."
After saying that, he walked into the flower hall and said politely to Yao Yaoke: "Yao joins the army, and Capt. He from Jingzhao Mansion has come over. He said that he has something important to see you. He is having tea in the side hall now."
Yao Yao was stunned for a moment, put down the bamboo chopsticks and said, "Sir, I'll go over and take a look."
Han Changmu nodded slightly.
The side hall was not far away, just a few steps away. As soon as he reached the door, Yao Yao saw He Denglu who was restless.
As soon as he saw Yao Yao, he rushed up to meet him and said urgently: "Boss Yao, something happened."
Yao Yao's face changed slightly and he asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong? What happened?"
He Denglou said: "There was a murder case in Jinchangfang. The death was extremely tragic. Wannian County found it difficult and was afraid that improper handling would cause rumors, so it sent the case to Jingzhao Mansion and asked us to come over."
Jinchangfang, Jinchangfang, why is it Jinchangfang again?
The mysterious gambling house is in Jinchangfang. The poor baby picked up today was also sent from Jinchangfang. Now there is another murder case in Jinchangfang. This is too coincidental.

She rubbed her sleeves and said in a deep voice, "Let's go see Mr. Han first."
The two of them returned to the flower hall. Yao Yao repeated to Han Changmu what He Denglou had just said, bowed and said in salute: "Master Han, this case is of great importance, and I would like to use Sun Wu for some purpose."
Han Changmu nodded happily: "I happened to have finished my meal, so we went over to take a look."
Several people did not ride in cars, but each rode a horse. The whips were crackling, and the horses galloped through the long street, and a stream of dust circulated in the sun.
There was a Wannian County government official waiting at the gate of Jinchangfang. Seeing He Denglou riding his horse closer, he quickly took the reins and whispered: "He Captou is in the square."
On the way, He Dengglou had already explained the case in detail to Han Changmu and Yao Yao. When he saw the yamen servant, he saluted Han Changmu: "Sir, let's go in."
Han Changmu nodded. This was the second time he walked into Jinchangfang in one day. He followed the yamen and He Denglou. The road became more and more familiar as he walked until he reached a narrow alley and rode a horse. It was difficult to pass, so he had to dismount and walk through the sewage that covered his feet. He suddenly leaned forward slightly and asked Yao Yao: "Ah Yao, did we walk on this road last night?"
Yao Yao glanced at the sewage flowing across the ground and sighed: "Have you been here before? There are still sewage marks on my clothes."
The group of people walked towards the middle of the narrow alley. The afternoon sunshine was just right, but the winding alley was cold and cold. The door curtains were blown by the wind and rustled together.
Although the people here had just been frightened by Bili Chang, when they heard the commotion, a few bold people still came out to watch the fun. When they saw these people walking back to the previous place, they immediately felt that something must have happened. What a huge case.
The government servant led everyone to the door of a house. The curtain was opened and hung on an iron nail on the wall. The sunlight slanted into the dim room, and the scene inside could be vaguely seen.
Han Changmu stood at the door, his eyes flashing. He had been to this place before, and when he walked past it last night, he vaguely felt something strange.
He looked at Yao Yao: "When you passed by here last night, did you feel something was wrong?"
Yao Yao's face had darkened, and his apricot eyes were full of undercurrents, and he said bluntly: "Yes, I smelled a faint smell of blood, but when I took a look at the sewage poured out by the old woman, there was no trace of it. If it’s abnormal, I didn’t pay attention.”
"Let's go, let's go in first." Han Changmu thought deeply and walked into the house first.
Most of the houses in this winding alley have earthen walls and few brick walls. Under the peeling yellow soil, scattered yellow sand is exposed. If you click it casually, it will fall down. This kind of house is not strong. It cannot withstand the wind and rain for many years. Over time, after most of the yellow soil has peeled off, the house is crumbling. It is very likely to collapse in strong winds and heavy rains.
But the people living here don't care whether the house is strong or not, as long as they have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it is enough.
The layout of these houses is similar. There is a small room facing the street. The quick-thinking people slightly modified this room and opened the door to start a small business with a small profit to supplement their family income.
Passing through this room, there is a very cramped small courtyard connected to it. It is said to be a small courtyard, but in fact it can only be regarded as a cold and damp patio. At the end of the small courtyard, there is an even more cramped room.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
This layout of two rooms inside and outside, with a small square yard sandwiched in the middle, forms a row of houses in this narrow alley.
Han Changmu lowered his head slightly, walked in through the low door, and looked around.
I saw that almost half of the yellow mud on the four walls had peeled off, and the yellow sand was loose. When a gust of wind blew over, it fell down.
The room was empty, nothing was placed.
He raised his head and saw that there were not many tiles left on the roof. Only a ridge was still strong across the top, and bright skylight and fine wind leaked in through the gap.
There is no way a house like this can survive a summer storm.
Han Changmu squinted his eyes slightly. It seemed that the people living here had never thought about living until summer, so they would not repair these dilapidated buildings.
There was a person lying on the floor in this room, and there were several people standing beside him. Some of them looked like they were government officials from Wannian County.
When these people saw Han Changmu walking in, they all looked at him.
One of the yamen servants saluted Yao Yao and He Denglou and laughed familiarly: "Oh, Yao joins the army and He arrests the head. You are here. Hurry up and bundle this piece of hob meat to Jingzhao Mansion. Well, it’s best to be locked up for life.”
Yao Yao and He Denglu looked at each other, walked over to take a look, and smiled: "Hey, isn't this Zhao San'er? Whose foot binding did you steal again?"
As soon as Zhao San'er heard Yao Yao's voice, he stood up in excitement, knelt on the ground, and said with a bitter smile: "Yao, Mr. Yao Junjun, the villain didn't steal anything this time. The villain did it this time." Thanks, the dead man inside was discovered by the villain, and he was also the one the villain went to find."
"Oh, really, it turns out that the foot-binding cloth is no longer fragrant, and it's changed to stealing the shroud." Yao Yao raised the corner of his lips and said with a smile.
Zhao San'er's face remained calm and his heart did not beat. He still looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He grinned: "Hey, adults, stop joking. I'm scared to death."
Yao Yao smiled even more fiercely: "Where are we now? You are going to be scared to death. Then when you enter the Internal Security Department, you must not be so scared that you go directly to see the King of Hell."
"Department of Internal Health, what, why did you end up in the Department of Internal Health?" Zhao Saner finally changed his expression, knelt on the ground and started to tremble. This time, the trembling was not as serious as before, but he was really pretending. This time, he was really trembling: "Yao joins the army, Master Yao, Grandma Yao, villain, villain is really unjust, villain really didn't do anything."
Yao Yao curled her lips: "It's useless to call me ancestor, the real ancestor is here." She raised her eyebrows at Han Changmu: "Why don't you take advantage of Mr. Han's good mood and take advantage of it?"
Zhao San'er quickly turned around and kowtowed to Han Changmu, causing the yellow sand on the surrounding walls to fall rustlingly: "My lord, my lord, this villain is unjust, oh, no, common people, common people. Unjustly accused.”
The chief was also a little confused. It was already a big deal if the Jingzhao Mansion was involved in this case. Why did it also involve the Internal Security Department? The sky was about to fall.
The commander glanced at Han Changmu tremblingly. Who in Chang'an City didn't know how cruel the Internal Security Department was? If Zhao San'er continued to mess around like this, would he still be alive?
The head of the village quickly pulled Zhao San'er and scolded him with a straight face: "Okay, Zhao San'er, stop acting like a fool. If you don't want your life anymore, tell me if you have anything to say."
