chivalrous cat and righteous mouse

Chapter 7

I heard that the doll was full of scars and was sick. Mr. Gongsun had just been treated, and the doll was resting in Mr. Zhan's room right now. "

Bao Zheng thought for a while, put down the file in his hand, got up, "You and I go to the guard room to have a look." After saying that, he bypassed the table and went out the door.Bao Xing didn't expect his master to guess the identity of the doll, he just thought it was to meet "Zhan Huwei's son", he thought to himself, why did his master suddenly become such a gossip!Rolling his eyes, he hurriedly followed behind Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng and Bao Xing, master and servant, came to Zhan Zhao's house, and just about to knock on the door, but the door was opened from the inside.Bao Zheng raised his head and saw Zhan Zhao in red official uniform standing at the door.Zhan Zhaocai was about to go out to the back kitchen, and planned to send someone to cook some porridge for Xiaotian, when he opened the door, he saw Bao Zheng and Bao Xing standing outside, and he hurriedly saluted Bao Zheng.

"My lord, why are you here!" Zhan Zhao felt a little confused, shouldn't Mr. Bao be sorting out the files in the study at this moment, how could he have the time to visit him?

Bao Zheng smiled, "Heard that Guard Zhan had a son, and my government came here specially to find out the truth."

Hearing Bao Zheng's words, Zhan Zhao seemed to be teasing, and blushed suddenly, "My lord, don't make fun of my subordinates. To be honest, this doll is exactly the beggar in a ruined temple that my subordinates mentioned to my lord before. Seeing that this doll has a pitiful background but is very stubborn, the subordinates appreciate him very much, so they intend to recognize him as a son. The subordinates have just changed his name to Zhan Yitian, and they only hope that he will be as comfortable as heaven in the future, but they let the adults I'm laughing." Zhan Zhao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Zhan Huwei used to be a chivalrous hero in the rivers and lakes. He was willing to be kind and vengeful. His daring and chivalrous heart is worthy of the title of southern chivalrous man. This government appreciates it very much! It's just that Zhan Huwei has now entered the court as an official. This baby... Zhan Wei What are the guards going to do?" Although Bao Zheng hasn't seen this little baby yet, he still hopes to bring him back to Kaifeng, thinking that Kaifeng's mansion is rich in land and resources, but it's a pity that there are not many people. During the holidays, I still feel a little deserted.

Zhan Zhao observed Bao Zheng's expression for a while, and secretly guessed some of his thoughts. Thinking that Master Bao is famous, but his wife and son are not with him, it is inevitable that there will be pain in missing him. After all, Master Bao They are also human beings, and human hearts are made of flesh.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao scratched his face with a smile, and said, "My lord, if Xiaotian doesn't object, this subordinate intends to bring Xiaotian by my side, and I hope my lord will help."

Bao Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he squeezed his beard and nodded with a smile, "There are many guest rooms in Kaifeng Mansion, and Mr. Gongsun can teach him in his spare time, if he stays here, I'm afraid he will still become a beggar on the street and be bullied by others. That's very good, after Zhanwei asked him what he meant, let's arrange it."

Zhan Zhao thanked the lord, only then did he realize that they were standing at the door of the house chatting for a long time, he hurriedly apologized to Bao Zheng, "This subordinate is busy talking, but he has neglected the lord, the lord please come inside the room, the subordinate will go to the kitchen to wait Let me cook some porridge, why don't adults use some together?" Saying this, he led Bao Zheng into the house.

"Oh, do you still need Mr. Zhan to go to this kind of thing in person? Just leave it to the villain! Mr. Zhan can go into the house with the master and talk." After Bao Xing finished speaking, he blessed the two of them and turned around cheerfully. Went to the kitchen.

As soon as Zhan Zhao raised his hand, he made a gesture of "please" to Bao Zheng, but Bao Zheng also stepped forward.The two of them walked behind the screen and saw that the villain on the bed was sitting on the head of the bed, waiting for Zhan Zhao's return, and suddenly saw a black-faced person next to their father, which was actually quite different.

"Xiaotian, hurry up and meet Master Bao!" Zhan Zhao saw Xiaotian staring at Bao Zheng with a dazed face, and couldn't help reminding him.

"It's okay! The little baby is sick, so politeness can be avoided." When Bao Zheng saw the baby on the bed with red lips and white teeth, he looked cute and lovable, but he did have the shadow of a three-point guard. I am afraid that he will be a gentle and handsome master when he grows up in the future. Son, I can't help being in a good mood, and I really like him.

Unexpectedly, when the baby heard that the black-faced man in front of him was Lord Bao, he struggled to get up, knelt down on the bed, kept kowtow, and said, "Lord Qingtian, Xiaotian was wronged, I beg you to be the master of Xiaotian!" !"

Wuling

Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao were shocked when they saw the baby Zhan Yitian's sudden reaction.Bao Zheng spared the baby's gift, and ordered Zhan Zhao to lift him up, and allowed him to lie down on the bed to answer, but the baby would not lie down obediently, insisting on sitting, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to wear a coat. After giving him the robe, he covered his legs with the quilt and sat down at the table with Bao Zheng, listening to him talk about his grievances.

It turned out that this little baby was originally the young son of Luo Hong's family, a businessman in Yangwu County. Because his biological mother was his father's concubine, he was not favored at home, and he was ridiculed even at home with him.Apart from his own mother, there is only one servant, Grandma Sun, who treats him sincerely.

However, although he is not favored, his life is better than those street beggars who eat and sleep in the open, so whenever he has food that he can't eat, he will always go to the back door of his house and give it to those poor beggars. , he is also familiar with those beggars.

One day, suddenly a famous beggar came to his home to look for him. He happened to meet Grandma Sun who was out shopping on the road. Grandma Sun led the beggar to the back door and called herself out.

He was a little confused, followed Grandma Sun to the back door, and only after meeting the beggar did he realize that it was the beggar who was begging along the street at night when he suddenly heard several drunk men whispering to each other in a tavern. Stealing from the side, it doesn't matter, I heard a shocking news!

When Zhan Yitian said this, he coughed suddenly, and Zhan Zhao hurriedly poured him another glass of warm water.

At this time, the door of the room was opened, and after a while, everyone saw Gongsun Ce walk around the screen, with a displeased expression on his face.Behind Gongsun were two maids, one with porridge in one hand and medicine in the other.Gongsun asked the two maids to put the bowls in their hands on the table, and waved them away.

"My lord, this little baby is weak and sick, what can I say, can I wait for her to take the medicine and rest for a while before continuing?" Gongsun bowed his hands, his words were decent but full of dissatisfaction.

Bao Zheng rubbed his nose. He understood that although Gongsun was his master, he was also a doctor, and he was a doctor. In the hearts of these doctors, nothing is more important than letting patients take medicine to rest and recover soon.Thinking of this, he stole a glance at Zhan Zhao who was at the side.

Zhan Zhao also heard the dissatisfaction in Gongsun's words, and quickly stuck out his tongue like a child who has done something wrong, then picked up the porridge bowl from the table, sat on the side of the bed, and went to feed his Xiaotian porridge.

Zhan Yitian didn't cough anymore, he put the water glass on the table beside the bed, then blinked his big eyes, looked at Gongsun and Bao Zheng, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhan Zhao's face.

He opened his mouth and ate the porridge that Kou Zhanzhao brought over, then thought for a while, and said to Gongsun, "Don't be upset, sir, it was Xiaotian who had grievances in his heart, and he dragged adults and dad to insist on explaining, don't blame them. After finishing speaking, he ate a few more spoonfuls of porridge, "Xiaotian listens to Mr., take medicine and rest obediently, and tell the adults about the grievances after Xiaotian recovers, okay?"

Gongsun listened to Xiaowaer coaxing him, even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't bear it anymore.He walked to the table, took the medicine bowl, walked to the bed again, put the medicine bowl into Zhan Zhao's hand, although he didn't speak, but his face seemed to have calmed down, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhan Zhao put the almost empty porridge bowl on the table, took a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of decoction, brought it to his mouth and blew it to see if the temperature was right before handing it over and feeding it.Gongsun waited for Zhan Zhao to finish feeding the medicine, then handed him a paper bag, then put away the two empty bowls, and went out.

Seeing this scene, Bao Zheng couldn't let Xiaotian continue talking, so he got up and told Zhan Zhao that he still had work to do, so he went back to his study, and continued to tell his grievances after Xiaotian had a good rest and regained his energy. To him, after all, he stood up with a flick of his sleeves.

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Seeing that Bao Zheng was about to leave, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stopped him.

"What's the matter with Guard Zhan?" Bao Zheng stood on the spot and twisted his body, looking at Zhan Zhao with some puzzlement.

"Oh! This subordinate wants to ask for your approval." At this moment, Zhan Zhao was still thinking about the case file in the county government about the case of Xiaotian's family being burned to death due to a fire.

He guessed that the beggar that Xiaotian mentioned just heard the information related to this case in the tavern, but it was a pity that when he was about to talk about the key point, Mr. Gongsun bumped into him.He couldn't hear the key words, which made his heart itch like several kittens scratching together.

"What's the matter with Guard Zhan, just say it!" Bao Zheng's heart is not much better than that of Zhan Zhao at this time. For this master Bao who is as bright as a mirror and as blue as the sky, he has no special hobbies in his life, just He likes to solve cases, and being able to solve one problem after another for the common people is much happier for him than giving him gold and silver.However, there is a case in front of him at this moment, but he can't even hear the whole story, which makes him anxious!

"This subordinate would like to borrow the file of a previous case in Yangwu County from the county government, please allow me!" Seeing Zhan Zhao's expression, Bao Zheng already knew it in his heart. To understand the general situation of the case, and then deduce from Xiaotian's narrative that it contradicts the whole incident, and that is a doubtful point.

Bao Zheng thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "It happens that the government also needs to look up some information, and the guards of Zhan will rest for a while, and discuss with me in the study after dinner.
