Chapter 7 Zhou Zhao’s Strategy
"The Tingwei Temple Prison was overcrowded. Gangsters broke out and injured people, and the jailers had no time to take care of them."
Zhou Zhao said, raising his head slightly to reveal his white neck. The spot where the strong man pinched him last night now showed shocking bruises.
"Obviously Chang Zuoping has not told your Excellency the details of the case, otherwise your Excellency would not be furious when he saw me today, but would sweep up the couch to greet me."
"Because I have proven that I am not the murderer, and I have seen ghosts eating people with my own eyes. I am the first person to solve the case to see the scene."
"This doesn't make sense."
The Songhe copper stove next to the desk was burning with soothing incense, and a few smoke rose and drifted into the pile of bamboo slips on the bookshelf.
When Zhou Zhao said this, he paused for a moment, leaving Zhang Ran enough time.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that although the study room was elegant, most of the bamboo slips on the shelf were about Qihuang's longevity techniques, and there were few serious books.
"Your Excellency went to ask, but Chang Zuoping didn't have time to talk to you in detail, right? Because another big thing happened in Tingwei Temple last night."
Zhou Zhao felt that the heat was almost there, his eyes moved, and he talked about the next thing according to the expected rhythm.
"Early this morning, when I went out, I noticed that the Northern Army was searching everywhere in the market. The number of troops dispatched was more than three times more than usual. So I sent someone to inquire and learned a piece of news that had not yet spread. At three o'clock last night, someone broke into the market. Entered Tingwei Temple Prison and kidnapped several important prisoners.”
Zhou Zhao said, also feeling very sad.
When she left Tingwei Temple, it was still calm there, and Chang Zuoping was still focused on investigating Zhang Ruoqing's case.
But who would have thought that something unexpected would happen in the middle of the night...
As she thought, the bloody man lying in the cell opposite her came to mind. He almost became a rat's food in the first half of the night, but was rescued in the second half of the night!
The Zhou family has been working in Tingwei Temple for many years, and they have a few acquaintances who can ask for information.
After she learned the news, she was shocked and became more confident about this trip.
"The powerful paper must be used to cover the fire, and the person who set the fire must be found."
Zhang Ran looked at Zhou Zhao's upturned red phoenix eyes and fell completely silent.
He wanted to ridicule this girl whose feet were on the ground, but her eyes were up to the sky. She was young but confident. To come to your door to lobby like this is simply unreasonable.
But now that he had calmed down, he understood what she meant.
"You want to say that Tingwei Temple is in such a state of affairs now that there are simply not many people available to track down the murderer of my son."
Zhou Zhao raised his eyebrows. These words could be said from Zhang Ran's mouth, but they could not be said from her mouth. After all, her purpose of coming today was to enter Tingwei Temple.
How ignorant can people be that they start cursing before they even pick up the bowl?
"There is a good plan, and I can find the real murderer for you within three days."
"Three days?" Zhang Ran exclaimed. He pursed his lips and pointed to the futon beside the table. "My dear nephew, please sit down."
As he spoke, he also sat down on the main seat, and then poured a glass of water for Zhou Zhao. He looked at the cup and said a little lonely, "In the past, Ruo Qing often used to fetch spring water from the mountains with me. She had a gentle temperament, and she never Don’t make grudges with others.”
"Be filial to your parents, treat your brothers with respect, give them tea when it's hot in the summer and medicine when it's cold in the winter."
"She has a small courtyard dedicated to raising cats. They are all picked up from outside. Some are lame and some are blind. What a good person! She will not live long."
Zhang Ran said, placing the tea cup in front of Zhou Zhao, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
Zhou Zhao nodded in agreement, Zhang Ruoqing was indeed well-known and well-known.
"In May, His Majesty asked the Tingwei to recruit talents in Li Huaishan."
"But there are not many people who are literate, and there are even fewer who are proficient in the Nine Chapters Law and can solve cases. Until now, we have not found a suitable candidate." "Why don't you ask Your Majesty to use Zhang Ruoqing's case as an examination question and post a list to inform the world's heroes? , the person who solves the case can become an official in Tingwei Temple! This is the best solution for both worlds.”
Zhou Zhao said, raising his eyes to meet Zhang Ran's eyes. Her hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly, "This case will be solved within three days."
Zhang Ran frowned. He looked Zhou Zhao up and down, but hesitated several times.
"You..."
Zhang Ran drew several circles with his fingers on the table. Although he was mediocre, he had eaten more salt than Zhou Zhao had eaten rice.
"There is no good thing in this world. If you come here to lobby me, you obviously won't come to help me with a pure heart. Otherwise, you can just go directly to investigate the case. Why go through such a big detour."< br>
"Zhou Zhao, what do you want?"
Zhou Zhao's heart trembled, but she smiled and said nothing. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently.
There are no tea leaves in the tea cup, but the water is very sweet. It is the spring water at the top of Baifu Mountain outside the mountain.
Seeing that Zhou Zhao was silent, Zhang Ran pondered for a moment and said "Ah" in sudden realization.
"You are here today on behalf of your father Zhou Buhai.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I heard earlier that your father was interested in marrying the step-nephew. He has been an upright person all his life and has never been capable of such favoritism. He will never ask His Majesty for an official position for the sake of his child.
Back then, your brother became famous on his own, and was just appointed by His Majesty to enter Tingwei Temple. I haven’t benefited from your father at all! ”
Zhou Zhao heard this and shook his hand slightly, almost shaking the spring water out of his hand.
You think well, please keep thinking.
"What your Zhou family wants is an opportunity to become famous in one battle and to enter Tingwei Temple with dignity."
Zhang Ran said, his heart relaxed, he looked at Zhou Zhao steadily, "Really three days?"
Zhou Zhao nodded seriously, "I said three days, it means three days."
Zhang Ran looked at the little girl in front of him. Although she had a walking stick on her head and a banbu hanging on her waist, her clothes were not much different from the little girl next to her.
But there was an inexplicable arrogance about her.
Her eyes were exceptionally clear, as if one could see everything at a glance.
Now these eyes are full of certainty, as if they are swearing that there will never be a second result.
Zhang Ran took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably agitated in his heart. He stood up and said, "I will enter the palace immediately, and the Zhou family will promise you a thousand pieces of gold."
Seeing this, Zhou Zhao also stood up. She nodded calmly, cupped her hands towards Zhang Ran, and walked out the door without saying anything.
After leaving Nazhang's house and getting on the carriage, Zhou Zhao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth!
She held her chin and leaned against the car window, unable to help but chuckle.
The adopted brother naturally had the Zhou family planning for him.
She, Zhou Zhao, has always planned for herself.
Everyone in the world who practices Jiuzhang Law is eyeing Tingwei Temple and thinking about Tingweizheng's position. Why can't she, Zhou Zhao?
Tingwei Temple will no longer investigate the Shanming Changyang case? She went to Tingwei Temple and investigated openly.
Zhou Buhe had never believed that she could support the Zhou family, so she wanted to show him who was the one who could carry the cauldron!
If you want to do something, seize every opportunity to do it. If you don't have the opportunity, seek opportunities. This is her Zhou Zhao's best strategy.
