Early the next morning, Zhang Rui got up from the table and yawned with two dark circles under his eyes.Xu Shi caught a cold last night, and when he woke up in the morning, his head was in a daze, and he spoke with a nasal voice.

Sitting in the carriage with Lin Xiaoqing sneezed several times in succession, Lin Xiaoqing said worriedly: "Cousin Rui caught a cold? If it's really uncomfortable, why don't you rest at home for a day, and I'll go and tell the adults for you."

Zhang Rui wiped his nose and said, "It's okay, there are important things to do today, I have ordered Uncle Han to grab some medicine and come back, maybe it will be better after drinking the medicine at night."

When they arrived at Dali Temple, Zhou Yin's attendants called Zhang Rui over.When I entered the room, I saw Zhou Yin playing Go by himself. Zhang Rui didn't know anything about Go. He had learned chess and military chess in his previous life, but he had never learned Go.

Zhou Yin: "How about playing a game of chess with me?"

Zhang Rui shook his head: "I don't know how to play chess."

Zhou Yin smiled and said, "There are still others you don't know?"

Zhang Rui said strangely: "Of course, besides books, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Zhou Yin stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Rui's head dumbly, and said, "Why does this king think you are so interesting?"

Zhang Rui took a step back and sneezed loudly, muttering: "My lord, let's talk about the case."

Zhou Yin said seriously: "Zhan Qing, tell him what you found out from yesterday's investigation." After hearing Zhan Qing's words, Zhang Rui frowned and said, "I didn't find Mrs. Qiu?! Where is Mrs. Qiu's natal family?"

Zhan Qing: "I also went to Mrs. Qiu's house, but I also didn't find Mrs. Qiu."

Zhang Rui pinched his earlobe and said, "Could it be...is Mrs. Qiu gone?"

Zhou Yin said, "What did you think of?"

Zhang Rui squinted his eyes and shook his head: "I can't be sure yet, but the butler of the Yang Mansion seems to know something, if he is used as a breakthrough..."

Zhou Yin nodded: "I see, leave this matter to Zhanqing, and be sure to find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Qiu, the case is less than five days away from the date set by the emperor, you are sure to find out murderer?"

Zhang Rui shook his head: "I'm not sure. I went through the case file more than ten times last night, but I still don't have a clue. Maybe the truth will be revealed when I find Mrs. Qiu's case."

"I hope so, why do you look so ugly today, are you sick?"

Zhang Rui: "Well, it's a bit chilly."

Zhou Yin frowned: "Yesterday, I shirked with me, but today I am sick."

Zhang Rui didn't speak, but he was a little confused in his heart. When did the relationship between the two become so close?Chatting with Zhou Yin was like going back to the Criminal Investigation Brigade to discuss the case with his colleagues. It felt strange, both familiar and unfamiliar, which made him a little reluctant to end it.

"Zhang Rui... Zhang Rui? What are you thinking?"

"Huh? Ha, it's nothing. Let's check with Mrs. Qiu."

Zhou Yin frowned and stretched out his hand to Zhang Rui's forehead, saying: "You have a little fever, forget it, you go back today and wait until you recover."

The cold touch with a faint medicinal fragrance made Zhang Rui shiver, his face became hotter and hotter. The emperor is afraid that he will embarrass you."

Zhou Yin smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about me, no matter how hard Brother Huang is for me, I am his younger brother after all."

Zhang Rui smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart: Who's worried about you... I'm afraid I won't be able to solve the case and be laughed at.

"In that case, I'll ask the boy to buy some medicine and take some rest in the room. If I find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Qiu in the afternoon, I will continue to analyze the case."

Zhou Yin nodded: "You... take care." After speaking, he got up and went out.

After taking the medicine, my head became even more confused. I have to say that the ancient medicine is really good!medicine!bitter!mouth!Even after drinking a few cups of hot water, there was a smell of medicine in his mouth, which made Zhang Rui retch.

Lying in the inner room with chills all over, wanting to sleep but being woken up by soaking urine one after another, sighed, put on a cloak and hurried to Gong’s room, it was getting colder and colder, the north wind was blowing the remaining snow and swirling floated down.Zhang Rui put on his pants, feeling that his little brother was about to freeze. When he was running towards the house, someone poured some water at the door, and it froze. Bang" hit the wall.

Zhang Rui gasped, almost unconscious of the pain, resisted to get up, staggered into the room, sat by the stove and sighed.What kind of crime did I suffer from? Originally, it had nothing to do with my penny, and I had to get involved in everything.

He touched his forehead with his hand, "Hiss..." He gritted his teeth in pain, wiped the handkerchief, and the medicine he just took warmed his body a lot. Zhang Rui moved a chair and put it next to the stove, curled up on the chair fell asleep.

When Zhang Yaozhi and Jiang Shuo came, they happened to see Zhang Rui nestled in a chair, fast asleep. Jiang Shuo wanted to call him, but Zhang Yaozhi stopped him and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for this kid. Seeing that his eyes are blue, he must have been fine for a few days." Sleep well, do you see why there is a wound on his forehead?"

Jiang Shuo said: "Shall I ask the yamen servant to call a doctor to take a look?" Zhang Yaozhi nodded and said, "Go."

After a while, an old doctor was called to Dali Temple, Zhang Yaozhi patted Zhang Rui twice and said: "Zhang Rui, wake up, don't sleep, let the doctor see the injury on your head."

Zhang Rui rubbed his eyes, saw Mr. Zhang got up quickly and said, "I don't know if it's Mr. Zhang, I'm really rude."

Zhang Yaozhi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I also want to thank you for working on this case for the past few days."

Zhang Ruidao: "I dare not be ashamed, Xiaosheng hasn't figured out the case until now, I'm really ashamed..."

The doctor took a clean cloth and wiped off the blood on Zhang Rui's forehead, then sprinkled medicinal cotton cloth around his head and bandaged it. "Young master, change the medicine once a day. Don't get wet, or your forehead will be scarred. You seem to have a cold, can you take medicine?"

Zhang Rui: "Thank you doctor, I have already taken the medicine." After drinking the medicine, I was sweating again while roasting by the stove, and I felt much better when I woke up than when I just fell asleep.

Seeing Zhang Rui's politeness, the doctor liked to smile and said: "That's good, the old man sees that you look good, be careful not to catch cold these few days, otherwise the condition will aggravate."

Zhang Rui nodded and thought of the case suddenly: "Doctor, if this lady is seven or eight months pregnant, will the miscarriage survive?"

The doctor thought for a while and said: "The old man has been practicing medicine for 45 years, and he has only heard that babies born at seven months have lived, but not at eight months, but it is not impossible, but such premature babies generally die. Frail and sickly, he died young and died young.

Zhang Rui nodded and thanked the doctor, and it really confirmed what he thought, then Yang Xingyu is definitely not Qiu's biological son, so whose child is he?How could Yang Jiu be willing to raise other people's children, still as a legitimate son... Zhou Yin has already sent someone to investigate the housekeeper, maybe there will be news tomorrow.

When returning home at night, Lin Xiaoqing was taken aback by the straps on Zhang Rui's head, "Cousin Rui, what's wrong with your head?"

Zhang Rui said awkwardly: "Cough... I slipped on the ice and fell and hit my head against the wall." Lin Xiaoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted him on the shoulder and told him to be careful when walking.

After dinner, Uncle Han suddenly said: "Master, I seem to have seen the He family brothers on the street today."

Zhang Rui was taken aback when he heard this: "Brother He Family?"

Old Han: "It's the pair of little brothers who came to the capital with us."

Zhang Rui: "Oh, I remembered, did Uncle Han talk to them?"

Uncle Han shook his head: "I saw the two of them coming and going in a hurry, but they didn't see me, so I didn't go up to talk to them."

Zhang Rui recalled the note that the sister of the He family secretly stuffed into him before leaving. The brothers and sisters of the He family should be investigating the cause of his father's death in Beijing. It also involves court officials, let's let nature take its course.

"By the way, Uncle Han, help me check someone these few days."

Uncle Han said: "But it's related to your case?"

Zhang Rui nodded and said: "This person only mentioned one sentence in the case file, but he always felt that it had something to do with her." He took out the case file and pointed to the name of one of them.

Uncle Han looked at it and said: "The year is a bit long, but it shouldn't be too much trouble to check it. Just leave it to me, young master. I saw you running back and forth in the past few days and lost a lot of weight. Although you like investigating cases, you can Take care of your own body."

Zhang Rui nodded, feeling a little warm in his heart. In this world, Uncle Han is probably the only one who treats him sincerely and doesn't remember any rewards.

It's a pity that I don't like women. If I can marry a wife and have children like a normal person, and shine on the lintel, Uncle Han may be happier than himself living a good life!
