Since I met you, people are dying every day

Ye Sirui frowned after listening to it, and asked thoughtfully: "You usually look at it, how is Wan Chengtiao's knowledge? Does it seem like he can pass the [-]th place in the provincial examination?"

The shopkeeper smiled wryly, "My lord, you are embarrassing me. The students at most socialize and make peace at the banquet, and the younger ones can tell which students have real talents and which are dead-educated or even don't study. Not bad. If it is said who can win the exam and how many names can win, only the Lord of Heaven will know."

If you think about it, the township examination requires three questions, four books and four questions and five classics. Everyone reads the classics and meanings. It depends on the preferences of the teacher and examiner, the situation of the court, and even the luck of the examiner.

He thought about it, and then asked: "Then Wan Chengtiao has real talents and real learning, or is he just studying or not studying?"

"My little one has been in this business for many years, so this is still accurate. Mr. Wan is indeed a scholarly family, a talented young man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him to write an inscription. The result is... What a pity, what a pity." The shopkeeper Again, he patted his chest and promised, and sighed regretfully.

That's it.Ye Sirui nodded, and asked again: "What's the matter with the postponement of the scientific examination?"

Just at this time, Xia Shu walked in from the door, and because of his fast speed, his robe brought a gust of wind.I don't know where he came back from.Ye Sirui was attracted to look at him, but saw him walking past him and going upstairs quickly, as if he didn't notice him at all.What's the matter?Ye Sirui was half surprised, half disappointed.

The shopkeeper followed him away, staring at Xia Shu's back. "Ouch." He lowered his voice and sighed, "My lord, is this lord one of your subordinates?"

Ye Sirui nodded, "He is my assistant."

The shopkeeper showed a skeptical look, "The young one is a businessman. I have seen a lot of people from all walks of life. I advise you, it's just a staff member. If you can get rid of it, let's get rid of it. This lord... tsk tsk, that's There is evil spirit! My lord, you are a civil servant, if you are exposed to this evil spirit, can there be good things?"

The discomfort in Ye Sirui's heart was even stronger, he frowned deliberately and obviously, and skipped this topic. "Don't talk about fooling me with these gods and gods. Let me ask you, what is the reason for the delay of the scientific examination?"

Seeing that he didn't appreciate it, the shopkeeper said angrily: "Then you asked the wrong person. How can a small businessman know so much? I just heard from the tester that they searched and entered the number room that day. It will be released after the exam." He lowered his voice slightly, "It is said that someone has... ahem, and bought the questions before the exam."

He deliberately said it vaguely, Ye Sirui is a person who has passed the scientific examination, but he knows what is going on.Zhuangyuan Building is not only in the business of restaurants. Every few months before the provincial and general examinations, it always consigns various bibliographies of the study and articles cited in previous years.The students study hard in the room every day, and the students who board in the Zhuangyuan Building are often from well-off families, and they don't care about spending three cents and two silver to buy books nearby.This so-called problem of spending money to buy may have something to do with Zhuangyuan Building.Ye Sirui shook his head and didn't follow up on this question. "Wan Chengtiao is dead, where are Wan Chengyu and Li Xinghuan? Where is the student who mocked Wan Chengtiao?"

"All three of them were taken by Shuntian Mansion for questioning. Mr. Xie Qing is from the south, and he will take part in the examination in the coming year, and he still lives in this building. Wan Chengyu and Mr. Li Xinghuan left with their bedding, leaving the little one behind. I don't know anymore."

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Ye Sirui only hastily threw down a warning: "Think about it carefully, if you deliberately conceal something, I will definitely not spare you." Then he rushed upstairs.He lived in the same room with Xia Shu, so he didn't have to hide it at this moment, he walked in openly.Xia Shu was just fine, sitting on his back by the window, not knowing what he was looking at, but Ye Sirui deliberately stepped heavily, without turning his head or saying a word.

Ye Sirui sat down and shouted for Chaming to pour tea, "I ran a lot today, and talked nonsense with the shopkeeper downstairs for a long time. My mouth is already parched, don't you have any eyesight?"

His voice was loud and strange, Xia Shu finally distracted and glanced at him lightly. "What happened?"

Ye Sirui immediately said: "Chaming, you get out! I'll talk to Mr. Xia."

Cha Ming was at a loss with the teapot, didn't he just ask for tea?

When Cha Ming walked out, Ye Sirui put down the tea bowl heavily.Xia Shu sighed lightly, "Why are you losing your temper?"

Ye Sirui didn't even need to put on any pretense when he heard what he said. He walked up to him, stared at him and asked, "I was downstairs just now, why did you walk past me without saying a word?"

Xia Shu was watched condescendingly by him, but he was not at all unhappy, "You are talking about serious business with the shopkeeper of the restaurant, why should I bother you?"

"How do you know we're talking about serious business?" Ye Sirui asked relentlessly.

Xia Shu's tone was light, "Otherwise, would you still chat with him?"

Ye Sirui was making fun of himself, but he didn't want to let him off lightly. "Don't mess around, even if you don't talk to me, why don't you even look at me, just walk by?"

"I don't intend to talk to you, why can't I just walk over?" Xia Shu asked back.Turn around and turn back to Ye Sirui.Ye Sirui was upset, Xia Shu probably didn't understand why he cared about this at all, he just thought he was making trouble for no reason. "Where is the jade belt buckle I gave you? Where did you put it? Why don't you wear it?" He asked while tugging at Xia Shu's robe.Xia Shu easily peeled him off from his body. "I'm keeping it."

Ye Sirui still didn't want to stop there, he was very close to Xia Shu, so close that he could easily touch her. "Brother Tianshu, I can't wait." He leaned forward and put his lips on Xia Shu's.

This kiss lasted very short, Xia Shu immediately pushed him away.Ye Sirui's mind had already exploded, and he obediently let him push it away.After waking up, Ye Sirui started to be afraid, belatedly looking at Xia Shu's expression.

Unexpectedly, Xia Shu didn't look angry, but just contemplated. "Brother Tianshu?" Ye Sirui called him in a low voice.

Hearing his voice, Xia Shu looked along the line of sight, with some doubts in his eyes, "Do you regard me as a woman?"

"Absolutely not!" Ye Sirui categorically vetoed, and could only swear to the sky, "Since I told you that I don't like women, how could I mistake you for a woman? How can you be a woman? I...I adore you, just I just admire you." He hesitated a little before speaking.

Xia Shu didn't pay attention to his confession, and still looked for an answer, "But you said you liked that maid."

"That's long gone!" Ye Sirui was afraid that he would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained, "I...I adore you, not because you are a man or a woman, and I don't care whether you are a man or a woman. Brother Tian Shu, are you I have seen the bravest and most fearless man, but I love you in the same way as I loved that maid in the past."

After hearing this explanation, Xia Shu still looked thoughtful.Ye Sirui was afraid that he would rush out the door after he figured it out.Anyway, today has become like this, why don't you break the pot and smash it, and just muster up the courage to hold his hand and sit down on the side of the bed. "Brother Tianshu, you have accompanied me to many places, saved me many times, and helped me a lot. You...do you really have no personal feelings for me?"

He begged.Xia Shu unconsciously shook his hand back, "That's not the case."

Ye Sirui laughed immediately, "That is to say, brother Tianshu has the same feelings for me?" In fact, there are many explanations for personal relationships, but Ye Sirui hastily came to a conclusion.

"Ye Sirui..." Xia Shu slowly called his name.

"Call me Ziqi." Ye Sirui said immediately.

"Ziqi." Xia Shu compromised, "You are not an ordinary person, you have lofty aspirations and a bright future, I know that. I am a killer, and I am not a good citizen, you know that too." Without waiting for Ye Sirui to interrupt, he said : "I don't know what else I can do for you other than saving you in an emergency."

His tone was flat and his eyes were indifferent.Ye Sirui tried his best to stare at those bottomless black pupils, trying to find a trace of sadness in them, but finally found that what Xia Shu said was indeed from his heart.So Ye Sirui held his hand tightly, "You know a lot, you can help me with the autopsy, and we can solve the case together. You can also teach Kuang'er martial arts, yes, you can also teach me martial arts, medicinal materials and acupuncture points, How to identify other people's identities, oh, yes, you can still play the flute for me." He seemed to be in high spirits, listing everything, but he refused to relax his hand at all.

Xia Shu still sighed softly, and took out his hand. "There are many people around you who can do this, and they don't carry their lives and hatred like me. Didn't you hear what others said? We will part ways sooner or later."

"But none of them are called Xia Shu, and neither are you!" Ye Sirui grabbed his hand firmly and refused to let him go, forcing him to look at him, "You don't care what those people say! You and I have known each other for two years Now, we have been handling cases for more than a year, and when have we ever parted ways? Since one year or two is fine, why not ten years and 20 years?" He continued, "You promised to watch me slowly change, why? Are you going to break your promise now?"

Ye Sirui's eyes became aggressive.Xia Shu, who had always been indifferent, avoided seeing her.He could convince himself that rejecting Ye Sirui was for Ye Sirui's sake, but he had to face his own vow.

Ye Sirui saw that it was effective, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue him. He changed to the most pitiful tone, and slowly relaxed his strength, "Brother Tianshu, I have countless guards, but you are the only one. Let's handle cases together, punish the evil and promote the good, and deal with corrupt officials. If you are missing, I will do these things, but it is not as good as the two of us working together." He said, "Stay by my side, let's persevere together, okay?"

Xia Shu finally took the initiative to hold his hand, "Okay." He said.
