It was not difficult to find Xia Shu, a room in the west wing was surrounded by servants, all of them looked up at the roof at a loss what to do. "Brother Tianshu is on the roof?" He stepped back a few steps and looked up, finally distinguishing the figure that blended into the night.

The leaderless subordinates saw that he had finally found a backbone. "My lord, what should I do?"

"Why did he go up?" Ye Sirui asked.

"Mr. Xia...Mr. Xia only said that he wants to admire the moon." The answerer faltered, obviously thinking that this answer would make Ye Sirui angry, but Ye Sirui laughed. "Brother Tianshu wants to enjoy the moon, that's all. Why are you so confused and come here to spoil people's taste? Get back quickly."

With him, the servants would go to the house to do their own business.Ye Sirui shouted to the figure on the roof who had seen everything but remained motionless: "Brother Tian Shu, you are too mean! It's so romantic to watch the moon on the roof, why don't you take your younger brother with you?"

A man in a black robe jumped down from the roof, his sleeves fluttering.Xia Shu looked at him helplessly, Ye Sirui showed an innocent smile. "There's really nothing I can do about you." Xia Shu said, hugged Ye Sirui up, easily jumped up to the roof, and put him down.Ye Sirui had been carried on his back for so long on the roof, and most of his fear of heights had disappeared. After being put down, Ye Sirui squatted down~, carefully groping for bricks and tiles, and found a stable place to sit down slowly. "What are you doing on the roof?"

"Look at the starry sky." Xia Shu said.

Ye Sirui raised his head, the moonlight was dim, but it set off the river full of water.Juxtaposed with countless bright stars, no matter how arrogant people are, they will inevitably be in awe. "No wonder you like to look at the sky."

Ye Sirui sat with his head up, Xia Shu was more casual, simply lying on the roof, resting his head with his hands crossed.After watching quietly for a while, Ye Sirui said: "It's a pity that the four of them are all dead. Those four are all good hands in the yamen." He felt that Xia Shu looked at him after he said the first half of the sentence, and in his heart Embarrassed, he barely found an excuse.

"En." Xia Shu just hummed briefly.

"But fortunately, those children are all alive." Ye Sirui said again.

"You promised to give them lectures." Xia Shu said.

Ye Sirui recalled the scene of the lecture that day, those government servants were still listening to each other, so it was not four lives. "That's right... Marquis Anshun promised to open the Confucianism School, and I have finally fulfilled what I promised."

"You also promised to teach me to read." Xia Shu reminded him.

Ye Sirui finally showed a little smile on his face, "I remember, I will definitely do it. But in the past, you know so much, have you never read a book?"

The night wind blew the wide sleeves of the green robe fluttering, coupled with his delicate face, he looked like a fairy who might disappear at any time.Xia Shu's heart tightened involuntarily.Ye Sirui's skin is usually too pale, and under the cold starlight, it looks even more bloodless.Xia Shu saw that he was smiling, and the expression on his face finally became more lively. He felt a little relieved in his heart, and just said casually: "I can read some characters, which are all kinds of medicinal materials, as well as the acupuncture points and vital points of the human body. Never read a book."

Ye Sirui was silent for a while.He was just looking for a topic at random, but saying this made him feel like he remembered something. "So, do you know all kinds of Chinese medicinal materials?"

"It should be said that I know them all. If you want to know, you can ask me to try." Xia Shu answered modestly, but Ye Sirui knew his skills, and asked seriously: "Is there a traditional Chinese medicine that blooms five petals and is pink?" , about to open in spring, the leaves are like needles?"

Xia Shu thought about it for a while, and asked, "Could it be that you cut the gold?"

Ye Sirui smiled bitterly, "Its seeds are a traditional Chinese medicine, also called Wang Buliuxing, right?"

Xia Shu was surprised: "How do you know?"

Ye Sirui raised his head higher, looked at the starry sky above his head, opened his mouth slightly, finally sighed, and said, "There is something I didn't tell Marquis Anshun, but I might as well tell you." Xia Shu didn't answer, motioning him to continue . "The members of the Golden Scissors Society use the golden scissors as a symbol is actually just a rumor. They left symbols on the corpses to mislead people to think so. The 'Golden Scissors' of the Golden Scissors Society should actually be understood backwards, that is, ' Shearing gold' refers to cutting gold."

Xia Shu frowned to digest his words.

"You still don't understand, right? Let me put it this way, the golden scissors are named after the gold scissors. The golden scissors are produced in Hunan, and the seeds can be used as medicine. It's really appropriate." He muttered something else, and said: "The Golden Scissors Society lost power five years ago, and four years ago, some of the Golden Scissors Society's killers settled in Lin County. What happened four years ago? The Regent The King of Xiang passed away. His Majesty took charge and changed Yuan Tianxian." He took a deep breath. "You should know King Xiang, right?"

Xia Shu clenched his hands into fists. "Golden Scissors will be King Xiang's minions?"

Ye Sirui felt that the word minion sounded a little harsh, but it didn't matter. "If my thinking is correct, the Golden Scissors Club will serve the King of Xiang, using the 'Golden Scissors' as a gimmick to help the King of Xiang get rid of serious troubles. After the King of Xiang's party was destroyed, the Golden Scissors Club also disappeared. That's why the timing is so coincidental. That's why I doubt it." He saw that the vegetation in Feng's garden had withered, and only one flower was blooming, so he was a little curious. After seeing Feng Hongguang's identity, he became even more curious. It's strange why a killer who doesn't do farming would bother to cultivate a flower.During the introduction, Marquis Anshun said that the golden scissors would use the medicine shop as the meeting point, so using medicinal materials as a metaphor is naturally very appropriate.

Xia Tian sat up in no time, clenched his hands, his veins burst out, and he gritted his teeth tightly.It took Ye Sirui a moment to realize that he was wrong, and quickly asked: "What's wrong with you? But what's wrong with your body?"

Xia Shu's body was trembling, Ye Sirui ignored his fear, stood up and took a few steps closer to hold his arm. "What's going on?" Xia Shu wanted to speak, but she couldn't even squeeze half a word between her teeth, she just gritted.It took him a long time to let go of his fist, and a pair of big hands rubbed his face indiscriminately.Ye Sirui took his hands again, pulled them off forcefully, and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with your body, or something unhappy in your heart, why didn't you say it? If there is anything you can do I will do my best to help you."

Listening to his sincere words, Xia Shu said with a half smile, "My master is the killer of the Golden Scissors Society."

Ye Sirui had never heard him talk about the master who taught him Kung Fu in detail.But after hearing this, I understood the reason why Xia Shu took the initiative to help him solve the case: Xia Shu should have known from the beginning that Master was the killer of the Golden Scissors Society.But he also said that he did not know the details of the Golden Scissors Club.Besides, Ye Sirui had never seen Xia Shu almost crying like this, and he didn't understand why he was so excited when he heard that Master was a member of the Golden Scissors Society. Looking at his back, "Where is your master now? You can send him a letter. Don't worry. I'm not trying to persuade him to surrender. Looking at you like this, your master is probably not a vicious person. As long as Jin Wash your hands in the basin, and I will be able to open the net..."

"He's already dead." Xia Shu said.

Xia Shu didn't cry, nor did he continue to lose his composure, as if he had calmed down.Ye Sirui could feel that the body under his hand was still tense.He knew that the turbulent waves were hidden under this tranquility, but he just stroked Xia Shu's back once in a while, "The dead are the worst. Since he has passed away, there is no need to pursue these things."

He didn't know how these words comforted Xia Shu, but the tense shoulders finally relaxed slowly. "you're right."

Xia Shu said, "You won't laugh at me, will you?"

Ye Sirui shook his head quickly, and said solemnly: "Why would I laugh at you? It's human nature to miss my mentor, and besides, you've seen me lose my composure."

"It's not just about missing him." Xia Shu said suddenly, "My parents were killed by King Xiang."

"What's going on!?" Ye Sirui asked in surprise.

Xia Shu didn't understand why he was so surprised, and said contemptuously: "The fish and meat people of the King of Xiang commit all kinds of evil, don't you know?"

Ye Sirui suddenly became quiet, and withdrew his hand to comfort Xia Shu.He had indeed heard of it, but he never thought that it was all true, and it was so close to him.

Xia Shu ignored him and continued: "Besides, I'm also a little surprised. Although my master is a killer of the Golden Scissors Society, he doesn't like King Xiang, and he died in the end..." He suddenly stopped talking.Although Ye Sirui felt strange, he didn't bother to ask.Xia Shu didn't say anything, and looked even more saddened by you, "So that's the case, I know."

"What's wrong with him?" Ye Sirui had so many thoughts in his mind that he didn't care about analyzing anything, so he could only ask along with his words.

Xia Shu hugged her knees and looked at the dim moon hidden behind the cloud, "He failed to assassinate King Xiang and died. Since he was a member of the Golden Scissors Society, he shouldn't have done so. He just wanted to avenge me. "His figure looked extremely lonely, but Ye Sirui was even more confused. "He...assassinated King Xiang?...So that's the case." The last five words were inaudible.Ye Sirui only felt that the stars were bright and dazzling, but cold and bleak, without any warmth at all.He watched Xia Shu raise his head silently, tried his best to smile, and said, "How can there be no wine on such a beautiful day?"

"Do you really want to drink?" Xia Shu asked.

"Why not?" Ye Sirui seemed to be in a sudden mood.Xia Shu said: "Then you wait." After saying that, he jumped off the roof and jumped into the darkness in three or two steps, and the effort of half a stick of incense came back. Holding a jar of wine in one hand, he jumped onto the roof steadily.Seeing the seal, Ye Sirui asked, "This is Qiu Lubai, which I have hidden for a long time. How did you find it?"

Xia Shu said: "Your servant is referring to it."

Ye Sirui scolded Chaming in his heart, then slapped open the seal, the smell of wine wafted into his nostrils.He picked up the jar, and smiled at Xia Shu again, "Although there is no joy, but there are beautiful women, why don't we drink together?"

Xia Shu didn't say a word, but also opened the seal, and bumped his own wine jar with Ye Sirui's.
