Zhou Zheng made a gesture, and the three guards got off the horse and rushed towards the direction of the sound. The others and others held the hilt of the knife in their hands and surrounded Zhou Zheng.

A moment later, the three guards came back and carried a haggard boy back.

The boy had seven or eight scars on his body, including redness, swollenness, bruises, and knife wounds. His legs were drooping in a strange position, probably because he was broken. His consciousness was no longer clear, sometimes he shouted for help in his hysterical manner, and sometimes he hugged his shoulders and shivered.

"There is a dry river ditch ahead, and this man is lying in the river ditch. We have searched around. Except for a few footprints that are deeply trapped in the mud of the river, no other suspicious points were found. The footprints belonged to two people, and compared with him, the length is different, not his, but they think they were the ones who threw him there."

Zhou Zheng walked over and wanted to see the boy's appearance. Several guards hurriedly followed, afraid that the boy would suddenly attack and hurt Zhou Zheng.

Although the boy's face was covered in mud, he could still see his facial features, thin calluses left by writing on his fingers, and his body was wearing cloth clothes, but his socks were priced as silk cotton cloth, and the shoes on his feet were Fuyunji, which was a time-honored brand in Baoding Prefecture and was not cheap. This should be a scholar with a well-off family.

Zhou Zheng said: "Take it to Xiuhe Hutong and find a doctor to show him."

There are three caves in the cunning rabbit. Xiao Ren has more than three places in Baoding Prefecture, and the houses in Xiuhe Hutong are three places outside.

Xiao Ren has never been there, nor has Zhou Zheng been there. That house is placed on the table for people to see.

The guards should have two people galloped away with the boy.

However, Zhou Zheng no longer had the interest in walking the horse, so he noticed whether there were notices to find people on the street, so he went back to his residence.

Since he is a scholar, he will not be named or without a surname. In eight out of ten, the young master of which family was robbed by thieves and threw him into the Ganhe River in the city where few people came.

Zhou Zheng didn't take this matter to heart and threw it out in an instant.

Three days later, news came from Xiuhe Hutong that the boy's injuries were fine, but his legs were broken and he had to rest after bone formation. He had to take care of his muscles and bones for 100 days. His injuries were more than 100 days.

Zhou Zheng asked, "Is that man clear? He said what his surname is and where is his hometown?"

"No, I'm very timid. I'm huddled in the quilt all day long. If I hadn't had any injuries on my legs, I'd probably have hidden under the bed."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Before he found his family, let him live in Xiuhe Hutong. Just buy whatever medicinal materials you need. It will be a life to save it."

The subordinates knew that the third son had always been lenient and had a living Bodhisattva's sister, Princess Yining, in his family, so he did not dare to neglect the unknown boy.

Two days later, a follower indeed saw a notice of finding someone on the street. The notice was posted by the government yamen runners, and it was posted all over the city. It was obvious that the owner's family paid the money.

The person looking for on the notice matched the boy's age, appearance, and clothes.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Then report to the official and let someone recognize his relatives. If it matches, let someone take him away and don't report to me again."

The entourage handed the notice that was quietly torn off the street and said, "The villain just felt that this person's name was somewhat familiar, so he did not rashly report it to the official."

Zhou Zheng took the notice and saw the name on it. The smile on his face was curled and said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly, let someone check it out."

The follower took the order and left, and Zhou Zheng carefully read the notice again.

Jiao Meng.

The person searching for on the notice is Jiao Meng.

Although the Jiao surname is not an indifferent surname, Zhou Zheng met only one family with the surname Jiao in his life.

Luoyang Guard Commander Jiao Shengqi, the eldest son Jiao Wei who was following him, and the beautiful Jiao in the palace was his niece.

In other words, these three surnames Jiao are actually a family.

In addition to these three people, Zhou Zheng only met Jiao's surname in books and operas.

When he was trapped in Luoyang, Zhou Zheng had already found out Jiao Shengqi's life. Not only did he know, but his subordinates also knew it.

Therefore, the follower will immediately hand it over to him after seeing the notice.

Jiao Shengqi has two sons under his knees, the eldest son Jiao Wei, and the youngest son Jiao Meng.

As a commander of the third rank, the family must stay in the capital, either the eldest son, the wife, or the parents.

Jiao Shengqi's eldest son followed him in office, so his wife lived in the capital with her youngest son.

Jiao Shengqi's youngest son Jiao Meng was ignorant and had served as followers for several dandy playboys. Mrs. Jiao spoiled her youngest son, and Jiao Shengqi was in office and could not do anything.

Zhou Zheng carefully recalled the boy's appearance characteristics. No matter how he looked at it, he was a scholar.

Jiao Shengqi's son Jiao Meng will never be a scholar no matter what.

Anyway, it would be fine if it was just a coincidence of the name, but if this matter was really related to Jiao Shengqi, it would be a big deal.

Henan rebelled, but Jiao Shengqi did not rebel. Jiao Shengqi held heavy troops. Neither the King of Qin nor Yang Jincheng nor Xiao Changdun in the capital would look down on him.

Soon, Zhou Zheng's people found the person who reported the case and found the person.

He actually was a young maid named Bicao.

"Maid goes to the government to report the case? The folk customs of Baoding Prefecture are actually more civilized than those in the northwest." Zhou Zheng said with a smile.

"The folk customs in Baoding Prefecture are not civilized, but the person who reported the case was indeed a maid. Therefore, villains didn't have to go to the yamen to find a master. They just asked him if they just found a yamen runner. They really had never seen any maid from a family who came to report to the officials. This was the first time."

Zhou Zheng became interested and said, "Oh, let's talk about it, what's going on?"

The followers came one by one. It turned out that two days ago, the maid named Bicao came to report the case, saying that Mr. Jiao, who followed them to Baoding, had not shown up for several days. Mr. Jiao had no relatives in Baoding and had money. He was worried that Mr. Jiao would be targeted by a villain and encountered an accident. However, there were only two female relatives in the family. The wife was sick and the lady was in the boudoir and could not come to the yamen. So he sent the maid to report to the official.

"Did Mr. Jiao follow their family to Baoding? Then where did they come from?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"I went to check it out. The family lived in Maohuai Hutong, a big house that I entered three times. Everyone nearby knew that the house was not rented, but their own. I bought it a few years ago. Three years ago, the wife and the lady moved in. A year later, the wife was sick, so the lady accompanied her to the capital for medical treatment. They didn't come back until two months ago. Although the neighbors nearby didn't know who Jiao Meng was, they had seen a young scholar who came every day and had been circulating gossip about it. They had indeed never seen the scholar in the past few days."
