Sapphire Warriors

After all, Mitsui could not escape the calamity of dismissal, and the person in charge of handling the matter was the newly appointed servant of the Ministry of Officials, Aida Yanichi.

Aida Yanyi said that it was clearly written in the file that Sakuragi set fire on purpose that day, and then hijacked the yamen servant with a woman's hairpin.So here comes the question, how did Sakuragi get the tinder?And how did you get a woman's hairpin?Hikoichi Aida asked Mitsui to answer.

Helpless, Mitsui couldn't answer.That day, it was because he believed in Sakuragi so much that he left the scene when he and Haruko were having a romantic conversation, which caused Sakuragi's plan to succeed, and he couldn't escape the guilt of poor management of the prison.

However, he could have been demoted and punished, but Aida Yan was a big kid, insisting that someone in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs colluded with Sakuragi, and he was able to escape by cooperating inside and outside.Therefore, his verdict on Mitsui was: Dismissal!

The seat that took ten years to sit on was completely lost overnight.

It can be said that Mitsui has lost a lot this time. He couldn't keep his seat, and his arm was injured by Sakuragi. He couldn't use his strength until now. He really doubted whether he was disabled.And that Aida Yanichi, I don't know what his plan is, but he has to report to his superiors that there is an inner ghost in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, how is it possible?All the yamen servants of the Ministry of Justice are his good brothers, iron buddies, how can Mitsui not understand them?What kind of shit is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he is simply a fool, I am!

Mitsui walked into the room while cursing and cursing, only then did he realize that Caizi had come a long time ago, and even cooked some good dishes for him.

Ayako handed the bowl and chopsticks to Mitsui.Unexpectedly, Mitsui was still the same as the previous two days, his right hand had no strength at all, and the chopsticks fell to the ground as soon as he got started.

Caizi immediately took a spoonful of food with a spoon, brought it to Mitsui's mouth, and said, "Your hands are not convenient, let me feed you."

Mitsui looked at the food, then at Caizi, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Yes, isn't she afraid?She was still afraid, but after thinking about it for a long time, she figured out one thing, that is, how many ten years of life can be wasted?Cherish what you have at the moment.So she said, "Isn't this the life you want to live?"

"Are you willing to accept me?" Mitsui blurted out.

"Yeah. It's going to be fifteen soon. I'll bring Yu Ang to watch the moon with you, okay?" Caizi replied.

Mitsui couldn't believe everything in front of him. He always thought that Sakuragi's escape from prison was the biggest failure in his life, but he never thought that it was also the biggest gain in his life. It's just that now he is no longer the prison manager of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and he is with Caizi. Together, wouldn't it drag her down? Thinking of this, he hesitated.

Seeing his hesitation, Caizi knew that he was worried about their future, so she comforted her: "Life is a time of good and bad, and who can predict the future. As long as we work together, we will surely overcome this hurdle."

Caizi's words moved Mitsui, he immediately took her into his arms and said, "Okay, as long as you are by my side, even if this hand is scrapped, it's worth it."

Caizi laughed and reproached, "Nonsense, your hands will be fine, because you still have to teach Yu Ang to read and write..."

It really echoes the old saying: if you lose your horse, you will never know it is a blessing.

Sigh that it is difficult for real men and women in the world to be confidants, and hope that lovers in the world will eventually get married.

However, this side is a blessing in disguise, but the other side is that misfortunes never come singly.

During these days when Sakuragi's whereabouts were unknown, whenever night fell, Miyuki could only rely on rosemary to fall asleep, otherwise she would keep her eyes open until dawn. The feeling was really unbearable.

So at noon this day, Michelle went to buy a few packs of rosemary with her money in her pocket.On the way back, she stared blankly at the notice on the bulletin board on the street about the reward notice for arresting Sakuragi, thinking that Sakuragi must be struggling to survive alone outside, she must be hungry and not warm, she is very pitiful .As she thought about it, tears filled her eyes again.

At this time, several government servants stepped forward and tore off Yingmu's reward notice.

Miyuki didn't know why, so she put away her tears and asked, "Brother Cha, why did you tear it up?"

Those yamen servants didn't know Meixue, so they said directly: "The superior ordered this person not to be wanted any more."

"why?"

"Because his body has been found!" After finishing speaking, the servants left, leaving Miyuki alone shivering in the cold wind...

……

It is said that Sakuragi's body was found in a mountain depression in the next county. The face was so festered that it was unrecognizable. However, it is rare to have red hair, and the cloth shoes on the corpse's feet were indeed tied when Sakuragi escaped from prison. Wearing, so the identity should be no doubt, it is Yingmu Huadao.

After learning the news, Teng Zhen told Nan Lie immediately, he was too self-blaming, he said some words of comfort, hoping Nan Lie would not take it too seriously, but "human beings are not grass, how can one be ruthless" No matter how ruthless Nan Lie pretended to be on the outside, he couldn't hide the guilt and self-blame in his heart.

In this way, the next day, when Nan Lie stood on the platform and was about to behead the prisoner, an unprecedented hallucination appeared in front of his eyes. He felt that the prisoner being beheaded in front of him was Sakuragi, and he was using a sharp He looked at himself with wide eyes and said, "Why? Why do you have to force me to a dead end, you cut it, can't you have no distractions? On the execution stage, don't you only have criminals in your eyes?"

Seeing that Nan Lie did not act for a long time, the supervisor urged: "Executioner, execute quickly!"

Only then did Nan Lie come back to his senses, but Miyuki appeared in front of him again, she was looking at herself with resentful eyes, and said, "Nan Lie, why are you so cruel that you will die? Sakuragi died because of you, you murderer, I hate you, I hate you!"

Nan Lie was hesitant, which made the surrounding people impatient, so they urged him loudly.

The urging sound awakened Nan Lie. He settled down, gritted his teeth for the last time, and slashed down with a knife, but his performance was abnormal, and his knife was covered with blood.He knew that he was finished, his life as an executioner was over...

Lonely night, cold wind, falling leaves, desperate people...

Who is hiding in the night wind and singing softly?

Who is leaning on this small window and looking around reluctantly?

It turned out that the most beautiful melody ever was floating back and forth in this lonely winter night...

It can be said to be "unexpected" or "reasonable".

Sakuragi's death dealt a fatal blow to Miyuki, and made her make the biggest decision in her life on this winter night. Either with a little unwillingness or a little melancholy, she waved her hand to this ruthless world, and then After drinking the bowl of tea with five packs of rosemary, she quietly walked towards the gate leading to the underworld. She just hoped that in the next life, she would never repeat the same mistakes in this life...

In this winter night, no one knew what she was thinking before she died, no one knew what she did before she died, only the sad tone was telling her story, a humble, miserable, brothel girl's story ...

Maybe someone will sigh, maybe someone will be sad.

But it won't take long for this world to forget her, forget Miyuki Sakuragi in Tianxiang Building, forget that there was once a lowly but affectionate woman who came to this bleak world!

Since ancient times, love has been filled with hatred, and this hatred has never ended...

That night, Miyuki's singing was like a dream, like a dream, like crying like a complaint, from far to near, from near to far...

The official document from the Ministry of Officials arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice within a few days. There were no surprises and no changes. The execution of Mitsui was still the same: dismissal.

After Mitsui packed his things, he took a last look at the jailer of the Ministry of Punishment, and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he met De Nan and several brothers coming in together.Several people were talking and laughing, surrounded by the newly appointed Tokuro, clamoring that they would go to Tianxianglou to drink flowers and wine together at night. This scene reminded Mitsui of his former self.

Although Mitsui was not surprised, Tokuo was a little embarrassed and said to him: "Boss, I..."

Seeing his embarrassed face, Mitsui comforted him and said, "Work hard, with your ability, it's more than enough."

"Yes, boss, I will definitely not embarrass the boss." De Nan immediately expressed his opinion.

A few people were talking, Nan Lie came over...

It was night, Xiao Lian had to take care of Ah Xiao, Ito had to clean the room, and Fujima was the one who had the most leisure time. He was sitting in the backyard busy folding paper money.Of course, the paper money was burnt for Meixue. When she was alive, she couldn't do anything for her. Now that she is dead, helping to fold the paper money can be regarded as a little effort.

Nan Lie saw that he was alone, so he walked to the stone table and sat down, picked up a piece of tin foil, followed his posture, and folded them together. While stacking, he said, "I will move out later."

Tengzhen couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He settled down and asked, "Have you found the place?"

"The world is so big, there is always a place to live." Nan Lie replied as a matter of course.

Fuji really thought that Nan Lie's sudden departure was because of Haruko's attitude towards him, so he comforted him, don't bother, Haruko will understand one day.But he didn't know that Nan Lie had been an executioner for so many years, so how could he worry about the word "misunderstanding". Besides, it was not easy for one person to understand another.

It's just that Fuji really didn't care, he said: "It's not that you don't need it, you are a habit. Habits make you feel that there is no need to explain so much to others."

These words are very reasonable, and Nan Lie can't help admiring Tengzhen's mind reading skills.

Seeing that he didn't refute, Fujima continued: "It's not as difficult as you think to understand a person."

Nan Lie showed a wry smile, and said, "I know you understand, but you are just one of the rarest among all living beings." After speaking, he looked at the paper money stacked in his hand, and said mockingly: "Fold it like this, tell me what's next." Will you not admit it?"

Fuji really smiled, and asked: "Do you mind what kind of stacking it is? Don't you believe in ghosts and gods and karma?"

Nan Lie joked, "But you believe it."

Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled...

There is a saying that goes well: Those who pretend to be asleep will never wake up, and those who want to leave will never be able to stay.

That night, Teng Zhen suffered from insomnia for the first time. For Nan Lie, and even more for himself, he suddenly felt that he was ridiculous. His feelings for Nan Lie were like a hole he dug for himself. He jumped into this pit without hesitation.Then the pit was dug by oneself, and the jump was also done by oneself, so who can be blamed for not being able to climb out now?Thinking of this, he made a self-deprecating smile, glanced out of the window, and the sky turned pale.

He couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he turned over and got out of bed. After tidying up, he went to the study and flipped through the medical books.The medical book was very boring, and after reading a few pages, it made him yawn again and again, and in a haze, he saw Hua Xing sitting at the round table with his back to him.

So, he brought a cup of tea, stepped forward and said with concern: "You are not well, why don't you go to the room and lie down."

Huaxing took a sip of tea, coughed a few times and said, "You also know that I'm sick, no matter how much medicine you drink, it won't help. The medicine is so bitter, it's better to drink your Jisang Qingcha."

Tengzhen laughed at him like a child, and said: "If you like to drink, I will write a recipe for Xiaolian to cook later."

Huaxing nodded, and then asked again: "Would you agree to whatever I want?"

Fujima nodded.

So Hanakata said, "I want you to be happy."

Tengzhen smiled, and he said: "I feel very happy to have your father, my father, Xiaolian and Ito with me."

Unexpectedly, Huaxing shook his head, pointed to a silhouette in the yard and said, "Isn't it because of him?"

It was only then that Tengzhen discovered that Nan Lie was sitting in the yard at some point, eating noodles by himself.

At this time, Huaxing said again: "Whether you are crying or laughing, he is always with you. He should be able to give you happiness. Go and find your happiness."

……

Fujima woke up in a start, only to realize that everything just now was just a dream of his own. He looked up at the yard, and it was empty at this time, so there was no Nanlie eating noodles.He was a little disappointed, and closed the medical book, but unexpectedly found that there was a piece of paper under the medical book. The paper was a fragment left by the novel that Master Huaxing tore up last time. It should have been missed when packing up. Tengzhen picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully, and it was written on it: Be happy.

Just like that, Teng Zhenzhen held back his words and wanted to tell Nan Lie, but Nan Lie didn't come back that night.

The house was as deserted as before, because Haruko went to deliver medicine to the patients, so besides Fujima, there were only Xiaoren, Ito and Hanagata-san at the dinner table.I used to be deserted at home, but I was used to it, but the desertedness after the bustle made people feel a bit bleak...

The next day, Fujima bid farewell to Mitsui. Mitsui said that he would go to Wang Yuanwai in the city to do a long-term job later. Anyway, he would take good care of Caizi, mother and child, so Caizi laughed at him and said that he would not want a girl with yellow flowers. It's really stupid to ask her to be a remarried woman.

Seeing the two of them loving each other like glue, Tengzhen was very relieved. Originally, marriage is not about negotiating conditions, the most important thing is to agree with each other.

After bidding farewell to the Mitsui couple, Fujima happened to meet the newly appointed Tokuo on the way back.

De Nan is a straight-hearted person who can't hide his words. He told Fujima about Nan Lie's resignation as the executioner after a few words, and blamed Nan Lie for mentioning it so urgently. It was really difficult for him. After a while, let Where can he find such a skilled executioner.

Of course, Teng Zhen didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all, because Nan Lie was all in his mind at the moment. If Nan Lie stopped being an executioner, wouldn't it be the same as sending him to death?Without further ado, Teng Zhen begged De Nan not to submit Nan Lie's resignation letter to the Ministry of Officials, and then went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to look for Nan Lie, but he couldn't find it. After leaving the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he went home immediately, but Nan Lie was not there In the room, when he was about to go out to look for him again, he happened to meet Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian said that Nan Lie might have gone out to drink, so Teng Zhenqi was not willing to take a breath, and went straight to Wuyi Lane. Unexpectedly, when he got there, The boss said that Nan Lie didn't come at all, and asked Fujima if he had an appointment with him.At this time, Fujima couldn't care about him anymore, so he went straight to the suburbs, but unfortunately he still couldn't find him.

In this way, back and forth, again and again, until I found Xushi, Tengzhen's legs felt weak, and he felt that he couldn't walk anymore, so he set foot on the way home. When he passed by Wuyi Lane, he happened to see Xu Shi in the night. Nan Lie, he is sitting there drinking.

It turned out that Nanlie heard from the noodle stall owner that Tengzhen was looking for him, so he missed him, so he sat here and waited for him.When he saw Fujima again, Nan Lie felt excited for no reason. He stepped forward and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Fuji was really angry, so he didn't say much else, and went straight to the point: "Why do you want to resign? You will die."

Nan Lie avoided Tengzhen's eyes and said, "That's why you came to me?"

Yes, Fujima comforted him, Sakuragi's death, Miyuki's death, although everyone blamed him, it didn't mean it was his fault.Others may not understand, but he understands, not to mention that Nan Lie himself once said that he doesn't mind what others think of him.

Nan Lie nodded.

Fujima got angry, and said: "Then why did you give up the executioner and go to death with all your heart? What kind of hero are you, and you die to thank the world? Everyone is escaping, Miyuki is like this, and now even you are like this, you guys Everyone is not afraid of death, so why don't you have the courage to live? Is life really not worth cherishing for you, and if you say give up, just give up?" Speaking of this, Fujima choked up, and he paused for a moment and said: "I want to Back then, Hua Xing didn't want to die so much, but he still died. He endured the pain and wanted to see the world a little more and breathe a little more air..."

Seeing that he was sad, Nan Lie patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm not running away, I'm facing it."

"Facing Fufa?" Fujima raised his eyes and looked at him.

Nan Lie replied earnestly: "Yes, since someone died under my sword that day, I should pay for this crime and this debt, but at that time I didn't have the courage to face it, I was afraid of death, so I chose to be an executioner , but today, I have."

Thinking that he didn’t take away a piece of cloud, but invisibly, he has already left a place of dust, waiting for those who love him to forget, and those who hate him to miss him. Don't you have anyone worth worrying about?"

Nan Lie's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that one day if he died, the fool in front of him might really miss him, miss him, and even hate him, but he didn't want his thoughts, his thoughts, and his hatred. It was enough for him to forget that there was also a fool named Nan Lie who secretly loved him.So he hardened his heart and said: "I am a prisoner on death row. I have been alone from the beginning to the end. How can I care about someone?"

"what about me?"

Yeah, what about him?Ever since he entered Yushi's mansion by mistake, Fujima has entered his life and infiltrated into his life.Nan Lie was momentarily at a loss for words, but he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Fujima reminded him: "You promised me before that you would always be by my side. You can't break your word, and you can't go back on your word."

The debts owed by the promises made, Nan Lie owes Sakuragi his life, Miyuki a younger brother, Haruko Airou, and now he owes Fujima a promise, wouldn't it be late.Thinking about it, he nodded, and replied: "Okay, I promise you, I will keep my promise." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the sky, and it was already late, so he suggested to Fujima to go home together, saying, He took his hand.

Teng Zhen was surprised, and looked at Nan Lie, thinking that he would let go, but unexpectedly, he squeezed even tighter. After that, the two cuddled each other, and disappeared into the quiet night together...
