please respect yourself

"It's really touching!" A black figure stood outside the gate of the ruined temple, standing in the wind, applauding joyfully, but it made people feel extremely mocking.

Although Su Sui couldn't see that person's face, he knew him.Immediately said: "It's you!"

Heiying didn't deny or admit it, but said: "If I were you, I would have taken refuge with that person's opponent early in the morning. Why should I suffer so much?"

Su Sui snorted coldly, "I don't care about your soft bones!"

Soi Ying smiled instead of anger, "Soft? Hahahaha, you are not soft, so you ended up like this! You are so stupid!"

"How dare you insult the captain!" Su Sui's subordinates immediately slashed their swords, ready to move.

The black shadow ignored them, raised his arm and threw it, Su Sui grabbed the thing - a medicine bottle.

"You!?" Su Sui's eyes rounded in surprise.

The black shadow said casually: "You are going to die, but it is boring. I want to see if Yan Suiyuan can wash away your grievances."

The sound fell, and the shadow turned into nothingness.

Su Sui grabbed the medicine bottle, not knowing what to say.The people around him questioned: "Lieutenant, what on earth is this?! Not to mention saving the Qin and Meng family first in Qingjing, and helping us kill Dong Wei and the others, and then in front of us in Jinzhou Killed the Jinzhou officials who knew our whereabouts, and helped us get rid of An Xingxu and Hu Zhi, is this a good person or a bad person?"

The moonlight was quiet, and the sky was full of farewell fireworks, Su Sui shook his head slowly.How does he know who this secret figure is.

The next day, the sky was just right, and Zhao Jue in Cheng Menli sorted out the information involved in the assassination last night.

Cheng Zangzhi asked first, "Has the gold entered the treasury of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Zhao Jue paused for a while, and then said calmly: "The treasury of the Ministry of Punishment entered overnight, there is not much gold in one ingot."

Cheng Zangzhi nodded slightly, and asked Zhao Jue to get down to business, "After Zhang Gao woke up, he didn't know how he got into the hands of those people. According to Zhang Gao's own account, he fell into the hands of a man in black first. Then it was in the hands of those people."

"The man in black?" Cheng Zangzhi pondered slightly, before he said, "The man from the palace last time?"

Zhao Jue said: "Not necessarily. Last time that person pretended to be a beggar, reminded Yan Shangshu, and then took the lead in the assassination in Jinzhou. For a while, I don't know whether this person is a minion in the palace or an undercover agent under An Xingzhu's command."

"Is there anything else I don't understand?" Cheng Zangzhi's smile turned cold, "I'll take it all."

It is not only in the palace, but also in safe storage.

Zhao Jue understood, and said, "Those assassins last night seem to have something to do with the Zhongning Army..."

Cheng Zangzhi asked, "Where is Yan Zhuang's nameplate yet?"

Zhao Jue shook his head, "The nameplates of the officers and soldiers who were ambushed and killed by the Khitan and Qixi people were confiscated according to the usual practice, except for Yan Zhuang."

"This is going to be difficult." Cheng Zangzhi frowned. If there was no nameplate, that person would definitely not have spoken the truth.He was not afraid of confronting that man, but it would be good if he could reduce the damage to the soldiers.

Zhao Jue said: "Aren't you close to Yan Shangshu? The subordinates see that you have done well enough, so why is Yan Shangshu still unwilling to tell the whereabouts of the nameplate?"

Cheng Zangzhi choked up, it was because Yan Sui didn't want to talk, but because he hadn't had time to ask.

"My lord..." Zhao Jue asked tentatively, "It's been three years, and it's going to be the fourth year soon, so you're so busy expressing your feelings that you haven't asked yet, have you?!"

"..." Cheng Zangzhi raised his head to look at Zhao Jue, and said with a subterranean smile, "I really let you talk."

"..." Zhao Jue put on a blank face, and then couldn't bear it anymore and said: "What do you like in him?!" Feeling concerned, he had to ask.

"..." Cheng Zangzhi pondered for a while, before saying, "I fancy he has seen me cry, but he hasn't seen my Ronghua sincerely smile."

Zhao Jue closed his eyes and remained silent.

"By the way, those assassin corpses should not be sent to the Ministry of Punishment." Cheng Zangzhi instructed.

Zhao Jue was surprised, "Young master, those assassin corpses have been carried away by Yan Shangshu's servants."

"..." It's really numb.

Yan Suiyuan went to the Ministry of Punishment today without his official robes, all the officials are on vacation, only the guards are left, so there is no need to dress too diligently.

The jailer looked up in shock when he saw the robes stuffed with night purple, and saw Lord Shang Shu's clear and distant face.Immediately bowed and said: "Master Tangbu, why didn't you celebrate the festival in the mansion, but came to such a place instead?"

Especially when adults usually wear official robes and suddenly change into plain clothes, it is quite intimidating.

Yan Suiyuan asked: "Where is the corpse of the assassin sent this morning?"

The jailer was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Master Hui has too many dead bodies, so they are not placed in the place where Wu Zuo is, and they are parked in the cell together." Then, he said: "The assassin Zhonglang General Zhang Gao sent by Master Cheng last night is here. Up front, are you arraigned, sir?"

Yan Suiyuan shook his head, and said: "No need. Mr. Cheng's people did not interrogate Zhang Gao last night, you are watching the interrogation, stay here, and write down the important words to the officer immediately."

The jailer immediately nodded, "I will write it down immediately."

Yan Sui wished not to gossip anymore, and immediately went to the mortuary cell that the jailer had mentioned.

Last night, he was watching Cheng Zangzhi and the others fight the assassins, and he had a doubt in his heart—the retreat formation of these people was too similar to his father's old army.

He knew that the people in the Zhongning Army had something to do with those women in Jinzhou, but he was still not sure, suffering from no evidence.

Randomly picking up the clothes of a corpse, Yan Suiyuan turned the corpse over and found that there was no tattoo on the spine at the back of the neck.

"Without the tattoos of the Zhongning Army, isn't it the Zhongning Army?" Yan Suiyuan was at a loss. Could it be that the Zhongning Army didn't participate in the Jinzhou incident, but only the Xichuan garrison secretly involved?

Yan Suiyuan was still worried, so he simply checked the body from head to toe. He brushed the assassin's hair back, and his eyes were white.Brushing the assassin's hair with his fingertips, he finally found clues on the top of the assassin's head.A piece of the top of the head was shaved and hidden in the dense bushes of hair, and the word "loyalty" was tattooed.

His wrists trembled, and he couldn't help but suck in a mouthful of foul air.

During the Xingyi period of Daning, the commander-in-chief of the Zhongning Army was his father. At that time, all the soldiers had the tattooed character Zhong.Since his father died in battle, his uncle Yan Ting changed this rule and tattooed letters one by one.

"It turns out that father's old department is making trouble?" Yan Suiyuan couldn't believe it, and was stunned for a long time.

A figure in brown and red came into his eyes, and he heard a familiar voice: "Yan Shangshu, you stared at the corpse in a daze early in the morning, but you didn't come to see me, it's really sad."

Looking up, it was Cheng Zangzhi.Under Yan Suiyuan's gaze, Cheng Zangzhi squatted down, inspecting the corpse with only his eyes, and said: "Forget it, since you don't want to watch the stars and the moon with me, then I will accompany you to look at the corpse. It's kind of romantic, isn't it?"

"..." Yan Suiyuan lowered his eyelashes, "You really are bored."

"Where is it boring?" Cheng Zangzhi inspected the corpse symbolically, "Sui Yuan, what kind of life do you think these people live?"

Yan Suiyuan's eyes fell on the cheeks of these corpses, and he wanted to look down again, but Cheng Zangzhi covered his eyes with his hands.Hearing the other party's dissatisfaction: "No, you haven't seen me yet, you can't look at them."

"..." Yan Suiyuan pinched his wrist bone, exerted all his strength, broke off his hand, and said coldly: "I have been an official for three years, and I have seen countless naked corpses. on its list."

Cheng Zangzhi rubbed his wrist, "Then how does my figure compare to them?" Cheng Zangzhi, who felt that he had an extraordinary physique, was waiting to be praised.

Yan Suiyuan said, "It's unsightly."

"..."

Cheng Zangzhi stared at him, afraid to hear him.He stood up and turned around, his arms were slender, his legs were long and his body was loose, just by looking at the streamlined outline, he could tell that he was full of energy, he was not a dandy vase.

"Look carefully." Then he took out a glass tube as thick as a little finger from his bosom, and Cheng Zangzhi said impatiently: "Sui Yuan, if you also have eye disease, I will lend you the eye medicine. "

Yan Suiyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, looking at this group of people, his cheeks were pale, everyone looked gloomy, they should be people who don't see the light very often.But the traces of wind and frost in the corners of the eyes and the roughness of the back of the hands are signs of suffering.

"These people live a life of hiding in the dark, and even being hunted down. That's why they are so gloomy."

"It looks like they were driven to death by the enemies." Cheng Zangzhi echoed.

Yan Suiyuan saw a glimmer of light in his mind, and slowly lowered his brows.Some things are roughly connected in my heart.

"Master Cheng, let's go."

"You didn't watch?"

"That's enough."

After leaving the prison, seeing the warm sunlight, the two figures were walking on the sparsely populated snowy road.

Cheng Zangzhi asked suddenly: "Sui Yuan, didn't you confiscate all the nameplates of the soldiers of the Zhongning Army? Why do you have the nameplates of your soldiers on yourself?"

Silence struck, was the question finally asked?It really wasn't his nameplate that Cheng Zangzhi was looking for.Even though I had expected it long ago, my heart is still as if my heart has fallen into an ice cave, and my bones and marrow are frozen.

Yan Suiyuan smiled lightly, and replied: "According to the usual practice, it is confiscated, but not for destruction."

Cheng Zangzhi was a little surprised. The other troops took back the nameplates and remade them, "Why is that?"

"Some soldiers died on the battlefield, and their bodies were scattered or couldn't be found, so they retrieved the nameplates and returned them to their families to set up a tomb. It can be regarded as a comfort to mourn."

At this point, the words came to an abrupt end.Yan Suiyuan did not fully explain the meaning of confiscating the nameplate.

Cheng Zangzhi understood, "This is a good idea, no wonder your family can produce generations of coaches, it's because of the military spirit."

For this evaluation, Yan Sui would not make any comment.

However, Cheng Zangzhi suddenly stopped, grabbed his sleeve, and feigned anger, "No wonder you gave me your nameplate so generously! You are still alive and don't need any clothes, so you can keep them." It's useless, why don't you give me alms, firstly to send me away, secondly, to use this to make me feel guilty, and generously share half of the Golden State's gold with you!"

Thinking of that day in Jinzhou, Yan Suiyuan taunted him in the crypt for far-reaching plans, Cheng Zangzhi jumped even more, and he continued: "Who are we to attack scheming and plan far-sighted?!"

Yan Suiyuan's complexion was as usual, and he hadn't seen ups and downs for a long time, but he just watched Cheng Zangzhi's angry eyes and brows, secretly dissatisfied.Then he said slowly: "Naturally, I am attacking by scheming, and naturally, I am scheming."

Originally thought that Yan Suiyuan would refute and scold him, but the situation suddenly turned into a world of difference.Cheng Zangzhi seems to have been cut off by Yan Suiyuan, and lost all words.

Looking at each other speechlessly, Cheng Zangzhi raised his lips and smiled.Yan Suiyuan was speechless, thinking to himself that this person might be an idiot.
