The rare scorching heat and the continuous rainy season made this summer extremely difficult. The few peach trees in the courtyard had already fallen, and only the bare trunks were still struggling under the scorching sun. Pitiful.

Ling Shuang was in the middle, and Yun Zhuo was sitting by the window in the middle of the afternoon. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table had invaded the tide of the Southland because it hadn't been eaten for a long time. .

When he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of those wilting trees again, and he was in a trance and didn't know what to remember, so he sighed in vain.

His younger brother and second brother are three years old and the youngest son in the family. Although they are not born of the same mother, they have been well protected since childhood.When she was punished for copying the family rules, her elder brother delivered food, when her father scolded her, her second elder brother pleaded for mercy, and even when she was beaten by hand, there were two elder brothers who accompanied her to bear the responsibility under the pretext of "bringing faults".

When he was eleven or twelve years old, he used the wrong tendon to go up a tree to dig out a bird's nest. As a result, he slipped and fell into the pond beside the tree. Although the water was not deep, it was bitingly cold. The servant found out that after catching it, he had a fever for seven days and nights.Dad sought medical treatment overnight, and the elder brother decocted the medicine himself, and the second elder brother blew and fed it spoon by spoon. Then, supporting his exhausted body, he played soothing songs for him every night.

In the past ten years or so, he has been spoiled too much, so that he lives recklessly, unrestrained and self-willed, always feels that many things are taken for granted, and never bothers to pull his sleeves to do it himself.But at this moment the shock turned abruptly, the eldest brother and father ran around to calm their grievances and did not return for several days, although the second brother's injury improved, he was still unconscious.It was only when everything was on one person's shoulders that he realized how trivial and complicated the things that his father and elder brother had done for him many times in the past were so difficult and difficult.

However, even though he was raised in the palm of his hand since he was a child, even if he has no experience in housekeeping or taking care of patients, he still has to grit his teeth and use his youthful body to support him.

Externally presiding over the order at home, internally dealing with inner guilt, although barely holding on to the situation, these dozens of days are like years after all.

However, thinking that his second elder brother was seriously injured and survived, and that he was still like this even though he had servants to support him at home, he unconsciously worried about Situ Lin who was thousands of miles away and who was leading an investigation into the death of his senior brother out of shame.

They are all the same immature teenagers who have been surrounded by their elder brothers since childhood, and they are all the same who suddenly encountered their own death, but that person has no one to rely on, and he has to find ways to thoroughly investigate the suspicious case, and how difficult it will be...

After more than a month, Yunhua returned temporarily, and everything in the Yun family rested for a while, but there was still no news from Jiumiao.Yun Zhuo was anxious, and finally called a few young servants out of the city early in the morning to inquire.

In the end, he still didn't see Xin'er until the end of the day, and he was anxious, so he simply pushed the door and went out to look around in the courtyard.Waiting until the setting sun was halfway down, there was a rustling sound outside the door, and several servants staggered back, half kneeling in the courtyard: "Third Young Master."

As soon as the person came, Yun Zhuo hurriedly greeted him: "What's the matter, but brother Lin has news."

"Yes, yes."

One of the servants nodded, with a worried expression on his face: "But this is really not good news."

When he heard the bad news, his heart stopped: "How to say?"

The servant said: "Young Master Situ not only failed to find out who the thief who stole the token was, he even became the biggest suspect in this case."

The biggest suspect? !

But isn't he the one in charge of investigating the case?

Yun Zhuo was startled, and said in disbelief: "What? Say it again?!"

"Young Master Situ, he has become the biggest suspect in stealing the token of Guili."

The servant shook his head and said: "I heard that according to everyone's investigation, during the period when the token was most likely to be stolen, except for the young disciples from Yunya Palace and Zhanlumen who came to help. The only one who could get close to Nagui The ones from Litan are, that is...Third Young Master, you are a group of four who came to eliminate demons."

These words are true, Yun Zhuo felt a pain in his forehead: "...so."

So, two of the four had died and one was injured, so he and Situ Lin were naturally suspects?

But who would harm himself like an elder brother's close relative for no reason? !

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was absurd. He pressed the servant's shoulder and murmured: "Then according to this, do you also think that I am also suspected of murdering the second brother?!"

"No, it's not like that."

Seeing his agitation, another servant hurried forward to explain: "Third Young Master, you have no motive, let alone other evidence to support it..."

Yun Zhuo didn't think about it: "I don't have one, so Brother Lin has one?!"

The servant nodded.

Yun Zhuo was stunned: "Why does he have it?"

The servant explained: "Firstly, everyone knows that Mr. Si does not follow the rules, and he acts eccentrically. But Mr. Li is bold and righteous, and has a good character, so he was selected as the next demon king. Mr. Si is the son of the former elder. , Losing to the brother who has no father and no mother, only adopted, I feel jealous in my heart, this is the motive."

What nonsense!

The two of them clearly teased and teased each other when they were exorcising the demon, and they had a very good relationship.

What's more, Situ Lin was even more lazy in that line of work, and hadn't planned to go there at all. If he really planned to take the opportunity to steal things and harm people, why bother to make such a move?

Yun Zhuo felt it was ridiculous, so he held back and said in a low voice, "What about the second?"

"Secondly, the investigators found a letter among Mr. Li's belongings half a month ago. The letter said that someone was going to harm the second young master near Guili Lake. Mr. Li was worried about the safety of his friend, so he was desperate I went to that forest, and I was killed."

The servant added: "Mr. Situ, who had been strongly advocating the investigation before, suddenly changed his expression after seeing the letter, and ordered the investigation to be stopped. This reaction is too strange, and this is physical evidence."

"But he didn't admit it himself, how can he slander others with just a letter."

Yun Zhuo felt even more ridiculous, and shook his head: "...Brother Lin is not the kind of person who is jealous of others and seeks power and position."

"Also, there are witnesses."

The servant added: "A few days ago, Mr. Jiang Wei, a member of Zhanlu's sect, has already testified that he had seen Mr. Si near Guili Lake in the days when the accident happened..."

Jiang Wei?

Upon hearing this name, Yun Zhuo was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he guessed that it was almost inseparable. He gritted his teeth and said, "He also..."

The servant nodded.

Yun Zhuo was so angry that he shook his wrist and slapped the tree trunk beside him, dizzy in front of his eyes: "Bah! This bastard who is talking nonsense and has an enmity with the two of them, why does he want to use this to get a foot in and make trouble?!"

"That's what we found out."

Seeing the person's unkind expression, several servants hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted: "Third Young Master, I'm leaving."

Yun Zhuo waved his hand, but didn't bother to respond: "Go."

When the figure faded away, he finally pushed the door back into the room in a trance, and sat down on the couch.

Things were not going well, the worries that day were really fulfilled...

Chasing the wind and catching the shadows, listening to the wind as rain, everyone in the world still couldn't help Jiang Wei and other villains fanning the flames and chewing their tongues, Situ Lin was finally pushed to the forefront.

Even though this word is a word, if you scrutinize it carefully, you can finally find that its cause and effect are extremely far-fetched and untenable at all.

For one thing, the selection of the next Demon Lord was Ling Su's impromptu idea. Situ Lin had no time to take care of this matter during the few days when he was eliminating demons, and he didn't know that Li Che would be the next Demon Lord.

Secondly, what happened to Li Yuan'er happened half a year ago, if the ghost aura was really caused by the theft of the token, it at least shows that something went wrong with the token before the demon was eliminated, and it is impossible for someone later to steal it.

So the truth is so, even he can think of rebuttal words, with Situ Lin's talent, why not defend himself? !

Thinking of this, Yun Zhuo's heart stagnates.

Could it be that the wall fell and everyone pushed it, and there was no way to refute what he said alone?

"Bah! Black and white are really reversed, and good and evil are reversed!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he blurted out without thinking, and gradually recalled the lonely figure in purple clothes in front of the return pool that day, and rubbed the center of his brows with anxiety.

Sulking here is useless.Now that people's mouths are worth a lot of money, and their bones are destroyed, if Situ Lin's words can no longer stop the people's mouths, then only his former colleagues can testify for him, so that people can be convinced.

Thinking of the feeling of being gently wrapped around his shoulders by that person that day, and the "don't cry" that forced him to comfort himself with grief, Yun Zhuo's five fingers gathered into fists, and gradually made up his mind.

Among the many calamities brought about by this innocent disaster, he and he both lost protection and shouldered important responsibilities overnight.They were like two little beasts abandoned in the vortex of the wind, they could only stagger forward while licking each other's wounds with a heart full of grief and indignation.

But back then in Tanqian, he abandoned his second brother because of his injury.Now that the changes are happening again, as the only person who can speak for him, he can't abandon him again!

Even if a person speaks lightly, even if the power is weak, let that person know that there is someone to accompany him!

Thinking of this, Yun Zhuo slowly opened the drawer under the table, and took out a brocade bag from it. The white jade hairpin inside was warm and slightly cool, shining white light in front of the window.

"When the agreement was made in the womb, regardless of reputation, honor or disgrace, right or wrong, life or death, we cannot leave each other..."

While teasing that day, the scene of putting the two hairpins together seems to be still vivid in his memory. He stared at Xun for a while, carefully put it in his arms, turned around and raised his sword, and began to pack his luggage.

……wait for me!
