Chapter 92

  Because of this matter, Lin Tong finally decided to hand over his nephew Zhao Ning'er, who had been hiding for a long time, to Bao Zheng, and let Judge Bao, the blue sky and clear water, avenge the unjust deaths of nine lives and ten lives of the Zhao family.

  This case finally found the accurate entry point for Bao Zheng, and he got a first-hand witness.

  Bao Zheng continued to outwit and outmaneuver Wen Brothers.

  Little Phoenix often goes to find the case files handled by Huang Wenbing, the county magistrate of Huzhou, to study. This guy is a master of whitewashing, and his case files are very challenging for those who read them. Little Phoenix says she enjoys this challenge.

  When something happens, Gong Sun Ce will also discuss some things with her, and she occasionally gives some innovative opinions.

  With the help of Lu Xiaofeng, Gong Sunce saved a lot of trouble and quickly cleared up some hidden problems in the official documents, found many suspicious places, and made it convenient for Bao Zheng to re-examine and re-judge.

  Of course, apart from Wen's case, there will be other cases in Huzhou Prefecture. All cases, big or small, are under Bao Zheng's jurisdiction and he has to take responsibility for investigating them.

  A wealthy family reported a theft at their home, but except for a pair of footprints, there were no other clues at the scene.

  Lu Xiaofeng changed into men's clothing and followed the catcher to the scene, carefully identifying the footprints, then not only took a print of the shoe print, but also drew a detailed picture for preservation.

  Identifying suspects by footprints is an old-fashioned forensic technique that Lu Xiaofeng also learned from others. Although technology is advancing day by day, some traditional experiences and techniques are not entirely useless, and some things need to be passed on continuously.

  Gongsun Ce saw that she was quite interested in the footprints, so he jokingly made a bet with her to see who could crack the case and catch the thief first.

  "Alright." Little Phoenix Maiden indicated no problem.

  Bao Zheng is conducting a normal criminal investigation and interrogation.

  Lu Xiaofeng then carefully studied the shape, size and depth of the footprints before calling over some servants from the rich family's household to ask questions.

  In the end, Xiaofeng broke the case several steps ahead of her idol Bao Qingtian.

  Bao Gong couldn't help but feel: "The young lady is indeed extraordinary."

  Xiaofeng felt very delighted when she heard her idol's praise!

  Of course, Luk Siu-fung did not appear in court to hear the case, but was represented by Gong Sun-zhi.

  They don't want Wen family people to know that she is the "Divine Break Phoenix Girl", the thousand gold of Taishi Fu, and the emperor's appointed imperial sister.

  Wen's family in the capital must have had some connections; otherwise, Bao Gong would not have encountered so many setbacks when he first arrived in Huzhou.

  Little Phoenix doesn't know if her father, who always interferes, has intervened this time. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that no one suspects her identity. If her father is indeed involved, he must have reservations about the Wen family and prioritized her safety above all else.

  This must give Taishifu a thumbs up!

  In terms of being overprotective, Tai Shifu is definitely a cut above the rest.

  Much of the information about her that has been passed down is actually processed and decorated, covering up many key things. It's not clear to people who don't know the roots, this is a kind of protection.

  It's just like, ordinary people know that "Divine Maiden Feng" is a maiden, with the surname or name being unknown. A small number of people know she is the daughter of the Pong family, an even smaller number think her name is Pong Feng, and only a very few people know her real name is Lu Xiao Feng, while her married name as Miss Pong is known to even fewer people.

  Thus, "Pang Feng" has basically become the official name of "Shen Duan Feng Niang" in a certain circle, but more people are used to calling her "Feng Da Ren", and Feng became her surname.

  This is called true and false mixed together, enough to confuse right and wrong.

  In the capital, Grand Master Pong received a message from the Wen family and vaguely guessed that his daughter might have traveled to the territory of Huzhou. Being cautious was better, so naturally, the Grand Master would not randomly reveal information about his own daughter to outsiders.

  Yu'er always has her own stance and reasons, he just needs to know that his daughter will not harm the Pang family, which is enough.

  However, Master Pong still couldn't help but feel some resentment in his heart. That rascal Bao Hei must not mistreat his daughter, otherwise he would never be finished with him!

  Bao Gong, who was being nagged by Tai Shi, let out a few sneezes, causing Gong Sun Ce to ask with concern and then specifically take his pulse before putting his mind at ease.

  The weather is getting cooler, and adults' bodies are fragile at this time, so it's a moment when mistakes can't be made.

  At this time, Xiao He also took responsibility for his own young lady's health and had some warm clothes made for her.

  Zhan Zhao went to find her that day, and Little Phoenix was trying on a new cape made by Xiao He, which was suitable for spring and autumn. The material was thicker than what was used in summer and thinner than what was used in winter.

  This crimson cloak suits her perfectly, no other color could be more suitable for her, absolutely stunning effect.

  "Xiaohe, this fabric is too dazzling, isn't it?" Xiaofeng girl still had some opinions.

  Zhan Zhaomo nodded silently, it was very dazzling, he really didn't want her to go outside.

  "But this color suits you the most, miss."

  "Xiaohe, we should keep a low profile, you're making me too high-profile and it's easy to get into trouble, do you understand?"

  Xiao He reluctantly flipped over his cloak and re-tied it for her.

  "Hmm, great! Xiaohe's hands are really skilled. It can be used on both sides, front and back. The sky blue color inside looks more low-key."

  "The slave is going to make tea." Xiao He casually found an excuse and retreated.

  Lu Xiaofeng looked down at his cloak and casually asked the cat, "What brings you to me?"

  "Just dropping by to see you."

  "Does this color look good?"

  "She looks good." She looks good in whatever she wears.

  "Is your mouth so sweet because you've applied honey?"

  Zhan Zhao just smiled.

  "Aren't you going out to find evidence of the Wen family's crimes today?"

  When it comes to this, Zhan Zhao's expression sank slightly. "The Wen family has been operating in Huzhou for a long time, with complex relationships that are not easy to shake off. The common people are all afraid, although they know the name of 'clear sky and bright moon' (i.e., justice), they do not dare to report the Wen family to the authorities."

  "When encountering evil bullies, being afraid can't solve the problem. Unfortunately, most ordinary people will choose to tolerate them, and over time, they will also indulge the arrogance of the evil."

  Yes indeed.

  Lu Xiaofeng removed his cloak and sat down at a nearby table, pouring himself a cup of tea.

  "It's actually best for Lord Bao to come to Huzhou, but because of his great reputation, he is also burdened by it, and the Wen family is on guard against him everywhere, putting him at a disadvantage from the start."

  Zhan nodded silently in agreement.

  "Now looking at the four sons of the Wen family, only the fourth one still looks like a decent person, the other three... That's just the life of cannon fodder."

  Still calling themselves dragons of Huzhou? What about Jin Jiaolong, Bing Tianlong, Du Yanlong and Yu Mianlong? They are quite impressive, but it's all thanks to their ancestors being one of the founding fathers of the country. How dare they call themselves dragons as subjects? It's utterly disrespectful!

  To be honest, Xiaofeng didn't have a good impression of Wen Lixing, the one-eyed dragon, Wen Lixing was not only overbearing and cruel but also brainless, in short, he was a thug.

  It's just like this, and they even called it a "gift", really like an elder naming someone at birth had played a small prank.

  "Wen Si Gongzi is indeed a rare one, he has never interfered with the affairs of the Wen family despite being inexperienced in worldly matters." Zhan Zhao commented on the matter.

  "It's just covering one's ears and stealing bells." Lu Xiaofeng didn't have a good opinion of this person.

  Little Phoenix

  "Knowing that the elder brother's actions are unjust and harm the people, yet because of a single 'Wen' surname, he chooses to turn a deaf ear and pretend not to know, wanting to be self-righteous. Isn't this the behavior of covering one's ears while stealing a bell?"

  Zhan Zhao was speechless.

  "If you really want to do something for the Wen family, you must have the courage to do what you know is impossible. Even if the result may not change anything, at least he has made an effort to try to change it. He has done his part as a human being, and fate cannot be changed anyway. What kind of difficulty is it that he hasn't even tried?"

  "This kind of ignorance is something even a fool can do better." But others' foolishness comes naturally, they're originally stupid and don't understand. He, on the other hand, understands and is clear-headed, yet he pretends to be foolish, which isn't clever at all.

  Zhan Zhao: Xiao Feng, don't your words need to be so venomous?

  "Being friendly and respectful to one's brothers is good, but sometimes it can be too rigid and inflexible. Look at his martial arts skills, they're not bad, unfortunately, as a person, he's not very impressive."

  "You look down on him like this?"

  "I don't think much of it." Little Phoenix Maiden was extremely certain, and finally added another sentence, "If I really liked you, what would you do?"

  Zhan Zhao couldn't help but laugh, "Even if you've taken a liking to him, you won't marry him. What's it to me?"

  "So confident?"

  "You yourself said it would only harm me alone, didn't you?"

  Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh too, and she leaned on the table, looking at him and said: "Then, is Lord Zhan now called satisfied?"

  "Shouldn't I be proud?"

  The little phoenix girl smiled sweetly.

  "Zhan Zhao, you're as clear as a cloudless sky and bright as the sun, yet you don't avoid speaking bluntly."

  "White Xiao Wu!" Lu Xiao Feng jumped up from his chair at the first moment.

  Bai Yutang, dressed in a white silk robe, walked in from outside with a fan in hand, "Sister, it's been a while."

  "Is it just you?"

  "My legs are fast, I'll arrive one step ahead." Bai Yutang said with a stinky tone.

  "What's the use of being fast? They are the Four Dragons of Huzhou, while you are just the Five Rats of Trap Island. The dragons and rats, you're already far behind them in terms of reputation."

  "Hey, Luk Siu Fung, you're one of our Six Sisters, isn't it? Is it really good to belittle us like this?"

  "I'm just telling the truth, your title is indeed inferior to others. Why did you get such a bad name in the first place? Wu Shu, Wu Shu's, it sounds petty. Xiaofeng girl has always been resentful about becoming Xiao Liu of Trap Island, and she would naturally bring it up whenever she had the chance."

  "Didn't the Emperor change it to Wu Yi last time?"

  "It's precisely because Wu Xiong doesn't sound good." Emperor Renzong was indeed a kindred spirit, and he took the opportunity to change their name to Wu Yi.

  But even if it's replaced with a more impressive name, it still can't compare to the renowned "Four Dragons of Huzhou". At least the nickname "Southern Chivalrous Hero" is still something that can be proudly claimed and loudly proclaimed.

  A name is sometimes really important.

  It's just that surnames are sometimes crucial, like if she accidentally has the surname Pang, she'll always have the possibility of being cannon fodder, it can't be more tragic!

  Bai Yutang decided that adults should not hold grudges against children, and it was better not to argue with Liu Mei too much, as arguing with her would often lead to internal injuries.

  "Zhan Zhao, it seems you've met your match this time?"

  Zhan Zhao gave him a fist bump, "Thanks for your trouble, Bai."

  Bai Yutang stood up straight and slightly raised an eyebrow at Yi Mei, saying: "How about it? This cat also wants to thank the five of us brothers."

  "You've already accepted their gift, if things don't go well, I'd like to see how you'll still be able to show your face." Little Phoenix Maiden retorted mercilessly.

  Zhan Zhao smiled secretly.

  "What's wrong with being unable to hold on?" Bai Yutang said with a straight face, "With Sixth Sister by my side, I can hold my head high no matter what."

  Luk Siu-fung narrowed her eyes.

  Bai Yutang said bluntly: "In terms of thick skin, Sixth Sister, you are a champion."

  Xiao Feng directly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it over.

  Bai Yutang easily dodged it, but still quickly added, "I misspoke, I misspoke, don't be angry, little sister."

  "Thick-skinned people are not welcome here, you this pampered mouse, get out quickly."

  Bai Yutang turned to a certain cat and said: "Zhan Zhao, let's go out for a drink."

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said: "Brother Bai has come from afar as a guest, I, Zhan, will be the host."

  "That's for sure."

  "Please."

  "Please."

  Watching the two figures in red and white leave, Xiaofeng felt a very subtle feeling - in some sense, they were also a match made in heaven.

  Does she need to start having some crisis awareness?

  This is indeed a problem.

  It's really tough being a woman these days. Not only do you have to compete with other women for men, but also with men themselves. It's exhausting!

  I'm really tired and don't want to anymore!
