Chapter 27: New Discoveries

When Dong Xianxian entered the yard, she couldn't help but look a little cramped when she saw Zhang Yuxi. When she knew that Bao Zheng had lost his memory, Xianxian's view of Zhang Yuxi had also changed a lot. Now, Zhang Yuxi is Bao Zheng's legitimate wife, and Dong Xianxian can't grasp the real thoughts in Bao Zheng's heart. At this time, she was already confused, but her face pretended to be calm.

Zhang Yuxi stood up generously and took Dong Xianxian's hand and said, "Sister Xian'er, you have been missing for more than a year. We are worried about you day and night. But when you are back this time, your relatives and we are all very happy. I just don't know where Sister Xian'er has been going over the past year? There is no news this year, which makes us very anxious."

Dong Xianxian said, "Sister Yuxi, since I fell off the cliff to save Bao Lang, many things have happened, and those experiences are hard to describe."

Zhang Yuxi held Dong Xianxian's hand at this time and felt the strip of cloth bandaged on her hand. She glanced at Bao Zheng and knew it was torn off. Yuxi said with concern at this moment: "Since it's hard to say, sister, you are injured again. Why don't we go to the inner hall? My sister put some medicine on you and bandage the wound. We sisters sit down and chat slowly, so that we can resolve the misunderstandings in our hearts."

Zhang Yuxi pulled Dong Xianxian into the inner hall. Mr. He was old and had already returned to his residence to rest, but he missed the opportunity to meet Dong Xianxian again. Bao Zheng did not see Sun Ling'er and Xiaoyun, and he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Gongsun, where are Ling'er and Xiaoyun?"

Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "They were watching the suspect in the side hall. Brother Lin and I were interrogating the prisoner just now. When we heard the noise outside, we knew that you were back, so we came out to see it. But now the doctor was in the middle of the night. It would be better to find someone to treat this brother's injuries after dawn."

Bao Zheng said to Hu Yanqing who was lying down: "Brother Hu Yan, if you want to go outside to find a doctor by yourself now, it is tantamount to taking the death penalty. Although you assassinate the prince, I think you are a loyal and don't want to send you to prison. As long as you cooperate with me to solve the case, I will have someone treat your injuries."

Hu Yanqing fell silent at this time. The young Hu Yanqing was a little confused about Bao Zheng's attitude. He had a deep hatred for Bao Zheng, but when he saw Bao Zheng's sincere gaze, the hatred disappeared. Thinking about Bao Zheng's words, looking at his current situation, he had to nod in the end.

Bao Zheng asked Lin Yan to stay in the wing room to take care of Hu Yanqing. Hu Yanqing was lit at this time. Without Dong Xianxian untied the acupoints, Hu Yanqing had no possibility of escaping.

Gongsun Ce took Bao Zheng away from the wing room and walked into the side hall. At this time, the side hall was brightly lit. Sun Ling'er and Xiaoyun were staring at a middle-aged man with sharp blades in hand.

Bao Zheng glanced at the middle-aged man and saw that he was about forty years old, wearing a cloth clothes, and was a little fat, looking like a Maitreya. Bao Zheng did not expect that the carefully set up the game and only caught such a person.

Bao Zheng stepped forward and asked, "Brother Gongsun, did you ask me what clues just now?"

Gongsun Ce said, "Bao Zheng, this man is named Sun Fu, and he is a grocery merchant around him. He has been doing grocery business near the academy. This man is cunning and specializing in counterfeit goods. The four poisonous tin bowls were sold to four scholars at an extremely low price. Since he heard that the four scholars were poisoned to death, he has been worried at home. Today, after hearing the news we spread, he finally couldn't help but come out to destroy the evidence."

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "Brother Gongsun, are you sure he is telling the truth?"

Sun Ling'er was on the side at this time and said with a small mouth: "This guy is just a coward at all. He will piss it off when he is scared, and he doesn't have the courage to lie."

Bao Zheng was sitting on the chair next to him, staring at Sun Fu, and saw him crawling on the ground, trembling. Bao Zheng said sternly: "Sun Fu, do you know that you killed four lives with poison bowls. This is a death sentence. Tell all your accomplices quickly, otherwise you will wait for a different place!"

When Sun Fu heard Bao Zheng's threat, he replied in fear: "The villain is just a businessman doing small business. Those four bowls were also fakes from other places. Although he knew that there was something wrong with this bowl, he didn't expect that it would kill people. This is also an unintentional mistake! If you want to talk about accomplices, I confessed those who made bowls, and they are the culprits."

When Bao Zheng heard Sun Fu's words, he suddenly flashed his mind and asked hurriedly: "Did you say this bowl be purchased from another place? Then how many bowls did you sell?"

Sun Fu's words were flashing, intending to lie. Sun Ling'er shook his eyes with a sharp blade, and he was so scared that he told the truth: "The villain bought more than 100 tin bowls from that workshop, and sold more than 80. But I am taking back those bowls now. I really didn't know that these bowls could kill people at first!"

Bao Zheng's face was solemn at this time, he slapped the armrests of the seat, stood up, and said, "Actually, I was wrong from the beginning. It seems that these four people were not dead on the poison of the bowl!"

As soon as Bao Zheng said this, everyone was shocked!

Sun Ling'er asked, "Mr. Bao, at the beginning, you said that those four bowls poisoned four scholars! Why do you say that you are wrong now? Now Sun Fu himself admits that the bowl is indeed poisonous. Will there be other hidden information in the case?"

Bao Zheng patted his forehead and said, "If Sun Fu hadn't told lies, then there were at least a thousand tin bowls made in that workshop. Even if these bowls were poisonous, then the people who poisoned them were definitely not just these four scholars. Sun Fu sold more than 80 of them himself, and only the four scholars were poisoned, which was obviously inconsistent. The only explanation is that although the four scholars were poisoned because of the bowl, they would not die. There must be another hidden reason for their death!"

Sun Fu looked like he suddenly realized his mind, and he lay on the ground and kowtowed like a pounding. He kowtowed and said, "Master Qingtian has clearly decided that the villain has sold so many bowls, and it is true that there are only four scholars who have happened to the accident. I have always wondered, Master Qingtian must make the decision for the villain! Those four people are really not harmed by villain!"

Bao Zheng said seriously: "Sun Fu, you have lost your conscience and sold fake goods and poisoned the world. It is a harm to the will of heaven and the truth. Your affairs will be tried by the government. However, as long as you expose that workshop, you will definitely make contributions. I think you can measure the crime and punish the lightly. You must do it yourself."

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce found a rope to tie Sun Fu to the pillar, and wanted to send Sun Fu to the prefectural office at dawn.

Bao Zheng and the other four left the side hall and walked into the inner hall. In the inner hall, Zhang Yuxi was talking to Dong Xianxian. It seemed that the grudge between her and the two had resolved. At this time, it seemed that the two were as affectionate as sisters. Bao Zheng couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Yuxi's mouth. Even Dong Xianxian's willful personality, Zhang Yuxi had a way to help her eliminate her hatred.
