Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

When the Baxian King stood on the steps of the academy entrance, with his hands folded in his sleeves, looking leisurely at the approaching candlelight, in the courtyard of Dean Ying Ming, Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao and others The man was standing silently.

Bao Zheng stared at the corpse of Yangqishan lying on the ground, and said lightly, "Brother Lu, restrain the corpse."

At this time, Lu Yun's face still had the shock of the sudden change just now. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Bao Zheng, was startled, and then replied, "It's... over?"

Bao Zheng turned his head, looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and said, "It's over."

When Gongsun Ce heard the words, he turned his head to look at Bao Zheng, his eyes were full of doubts, obviously there are still many puzzles, isn't it?Who built the altar in the back mountain?How did that blind man and Mu Dutong come to Luzhou?And what happened to the vase in Wang Song's room that Zhan Zhao accidentally knocked down and shattered, and the couplet hidden in the vase indicating the treasure of the Yi people?Who is the person who sent the letter to the Eighth Sage King and Grand Master Pang?And that spice...

Big Bao Zheng just stared in the direction of the gate of the courtyard, Gongsun Ce followed Bao Zheng's line of sight, and saw Meng Fang was quietly looking at the corpse lying on the ground, staring quietly for a while, As if he had just noticed Bao Zheng's gaze, he raised his head, smiled faintly at Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, then turned around and left slowly step by step.

Bao Zheng watched Meng Fang leave, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the back mountain."

Gongsun Ce withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Bao Zheng standing beside him, saw Bao Zheng's solemn expression, and nodded slowly.

The distance from the back door to the back mountain was very short, at the back door, Gongsun Ce saw Meng Fang in white clothes, with a pot of wine in his hand, slowly walking towards the back mountain.

Both Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were silent all the way, following Meng Fang slowly, Meng Fang seemed to know that they were following, and walked very slowly on the road, sometimes, he would stop and wait for them.And Zhan Zhao also followed in silence.

When he came to the entrance of the altar of the Zai people, Meng Fang didn't go in, but stood quietly, and slowly spilled the wine in his hand on the ground. When the wine was finished, Meng Fang said in a low voice, "I've been here for five years." When I came to the academy, I didn’t have any fame, only played the qin. At that time, Dean Yingming saw me carrying the qin, so he sat down on the steps at the entrance of the academy and asked me, “Can I have a song?”, I After playing the piano, Dean Ying Ming said with a smile, 'From now on, you will teach in the academy.'"

"I don't know why... In the past few days, I always think of the way the dean sat on the steps and listened to me playing the piano that day." Meng Fang smiled, "Maybe it's because in the past few years, he is really Be nice to me."

"... I still remember that when he first came to our Yi people, he brought me a rattle... Hehe... That was the first time I received a child's toy from the mountain... I didn't even sleep Holding it all the time...it's silly, isn't it?"

"...His wine bottle was given by my father. He didn't know that the wine bottle was my father's favorite, and my father was not willing to use it... But who knows, it is this person who my father sincerely regards as a friend. Ruined everything!"

The air suddenly became suffocated, the night was heavy with dew, and the bright moon hanging in the sky was also covered with faint dark clouds.Both Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce silently looked at Meng Fang who was turning his back to them and muttering in low voices.

I don't know how long it was silent, but finally, Bao Zheng spoke, his deep voice sounded extremely depressing in the dark night.

"...Is this altar made by you?" Bao Zheng asked in a low voice.

Meng Fang turned his head to look at Bao Zheng, and said calmly, "Don't you know everything?"

Bao Zheng stared at Meng Fang, "You are not the murderer, but all of this has something to do with you."

Meng Fang just smiled gently, "I just... accidentally let Ying Ming know that I am from the Gayi tribe. It was a coincidence that I accidentally mentioned to Mr. Wang Song that Dean Yingming has a wine bottle, and it seems that there is a wine bottle. The patterns of the Yi family, and then, Yangqishan also knew. Then, Master Wang Song got a vase instead of a wine bottle. Yangqishan knew that the wine bottle was still hidden in the study, and then, the four Two murderers have appeared, I don't know, it turns out that the blind man and Mu Dutong are so obsessed with our Yi people. I was just thinking... If the Eight Sage Kings or Pang Taishi, these important court officials know that the Yi people have What will they do with such a treasure?" Meng Fang laughed lightly at the end, "It turns out...it's just an altar, just a sentence..."

After hearing this, Gongsun Ce stared blankly at the undisguised sarcasm and hatred on Meng Fang's face, couldn't help but tremble, remembering what he had said to Meng Fang back then, "There are many ways to take revenge..." , Gongsun Ce's face was a little pale.

But Bao Zheng listened, and looked at the unconcealable viciousness and hatred on Meng Fang's face, but he was silent. With the help of the black cover, Bao Zheng quietly reached out and gently held Gongsun Ce's suddenly cold hands .

The warmth from the palm of his hand seemed to comfort and appease, slowly calming down Gongsun Ce's troubled heart.

But Zhan Zhao, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward and stared at Meng Fang, "Now that my brother is dead, he is innocent, but he died because of you!!"

Meng Fang looked down at Zhan Zhao, stunned for a moment, then the sternness and hatred on his face disappeared, nodded and said, "It's useless and meaningless to ask for forgiveness. I'm standing here. If you want revenge, You just come."

Bao Zheng looked at it, frowned and stepped forward, and was about to dissuade Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao was one step ahead, and saw him staring at Meng Fang, saying word by word, "I will let the law deal with you!"

Meng Fang was taken aback by Zhan Zhao's words, and Bao Zheng was also taken aback.

"The clansman died tragically. It is not wrong for you to avenge your clansman and your parents, but I will not take such painstaking revenge like you. I will let the law punish those murderers! If everyone in the world is like you , wouldn't this world be in chaos?" Zhan Zhao continued quietly.

Hearing Zhan Zhao's words, Bao Zheng smiled, Gongsun Ce looked at him, and also smiled, thinking in his heart, Zhan Zhao was the same back then, Nan Xia Zhan Zhao's demeanor.

But Meng Fang laughed with a sneer, his smile was very mocking, he looked at Zhan Zhao, as if he was looking at a child who didn't know much about the world, slowly shook his head, and sighed, "You are so naive!"

As soon as these words came out, Bao Zheng looked calm, Gongsun Ce frowned slightly, and Zhan Zhao stared.

"If the law is useful, why come to Wang Song? Why have we waited so many years for the grievances of the Yi people?" Meng Fang mocked a smile, and there was still some hidden resentment in the smile, but changed the topic again, "...but, I like your innocence." Meng Fang stared at Zhan Zhao, and smiled, the smile was very gentle, without the sarcasm and resentment just now.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, "You are the same, you are all so naive, but I like it very much." After finishing speaking, Meng turned around slowly, "Now, everything is over. I I'm leaving too."

Watching Meng Fang turn around and leave step by step, Bao Zheng said abruptly, "Meng Fang!"

Meng Fang paused, but did not turn around.

"Since the great revenge has been avenged, those who should have been forgotten long ago... forget it." Bao Zheng's voice was very low.

Meng Fang nodded slightly, without turning around, and continued to stride forward.

Watching Meng Fang go away, Bao Zheng gently pulled the hand in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Gongsun Ce silently followed Bao Zheng down the mountain step by step, and turned his head inadvertently. Seeing Zhan Zhao's blank and dazed face, Gongsun Ce sighed inwardly. It seems that he has to talk to Zhan Zhao... thinking about it In the previous life, I used to clear up Zhan Zhao and Bao Heitan's emotions from time to time, and clear away the confusion... I didn't expect this life to start so early.

But, thinking about what you said just now—you are too naive.

Gongsun Ce lowered his eyes, Meng Fang couldn't understand, if the people of Kaifeng Mansion had no innocence, how could they walk in this dark night?And how to carry out justice to the end?

***********

Let's talk about the Eight Sage Kings at this time...

The candlelight finally came to the gate of the academy, and behind the candlelight was a big sedan chair.

The curtain of the sedan chair was raised, and one person walked out slowly.

Looking closely at the man, he was about the same age as the Eight Sage Kings, with a straight face and deep eyes.

The expression on that person's face was very calm, he walked out slowly, and when he raised his eyes to look at the very leisurely Eight Wise Kings standing on the steps, there was a trace of imperceptible reassurance across his deep eyebrows and eyes.

"It's rare, Grand Master Pang also has such a leisure time to see the scenery of Songshan Academy?" Eight Wise Kings showed a warm and warm smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Grand Master Pang stepped up, listened to the Eight Sage King's words, just slightly pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile, waited up the steps, stood in front of the Eight Sage King, and then slightly cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, are you all right?"

The Baxian King glanced at Grand Master Pang, and said with a leisurely smile, "This king is standing in front of the grand master. Tell me, grand master, is this king okay?" I actually disturbed General Flying Star to come to protect this king this time... Hehe... I'm so sorry." Said the polite words, but Taishi Pang saw the last four words "I'm sorry" seemed to have aggravated his tone?

But Grand Master Pang just cupped his hands, with a calm expression on his face, "This is what it should be, the prince is the pillar of my court, if something happens, wouldn't it be a big loss for my court?"

When the eight virtuous king heard this, he pretended to be panicked and said, "Oh! What the grand master said really upset this king! Haha...Compared to you, grand master, this king is just a tiny candlelight, how can I compare to you, grand master? Where is the light of the bright moon? Haha..." After finishing speaking, he smirked.

Grand Master Pang just twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, then changed the subject, "My lord, it's getting late now, why don't we go down the mountain?"

The Eighth Sage King glanced at Grand Master Pang, turned his hands in his sleeves, and said, "Yes, the wind in this mountain is strong. If Grand Master catches a cold, wouldn't it be my fault?" Gentle and seemingly mocking smile.

Grand Master Pang just lowered his eyes, remained silent, and looked respectful.

The Eighth Sage King walked down the steps, he stopped looking at Grand Master Pang, but thought in his mind, did this old bastard come to Luzhou for the treasure of the Yi clan?But, didn't he already know what this treasure of the Yi people was?

Taishi Pang followed behind the Baxian King, watching the Baxian King walk down slowly, looking at the thin and straight back, Taishi Pang lowered his eyes slightly.

After walking down the steps, the Baxian King pretended to be puzzled and turned his head to ask, "By the way, grand master, I haven't asked for advice yet. Why did the grand master come to Luzhou because of his busy work?" And it was still so late at night Come……

Grand Master Pang cupped his hands, and said calmly in a low voice, "Passing by. I heard that the prince is here, so I came to pay my respects."

pass by?The Baxian King narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around, looked directly at Grand Master Pang, and smiled meaningfully, "That's really a coincidence."

Grand Master Pang raised his eyes, stared straight at the Eight Sage Kings, and said calmly, "It's a coincidence."

The Eighth Wise King was at a loss for words for a while, and the old bastard answered like this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.He simply turned around, but when he was about to go to his own sedan chair, he realized that he was riding a horse, and now he was more exposed... Then, at this moment, Taishi Pang's respectful voice sounded from behind, "My lord, why don't you take the sedan chair."

The Eighth Sage King glanced at the large but plain sedan chair, smiled, and said politely, "This king is sitting in the sedan chair, what about the Grand Master?"

"My lord, you don't need to worry about me." Grand Master Pang said lightly.

The Baxian King narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the downcast Grand Master Pang for a while, and then said, "Let's sit with this king. The grand master is old, if he falls in the middle of the night, this king will be guilty!"

After the Eighth Sage King finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the sedan chair. Behind him, Grand Master Pang slightly raised his eyes with a hint of a smile, but his face was calm and he still stood still.

The Eighth Sage King walked a few steps, saw no movement behind him, turned around in confusion, looked at Grand Master Pang who was still standing still, and asked with a slight frown, "Why didn't Grand Master leave?"

"My lord, I am a tiger."

"..." Who in the government and the public doesn't know that the Grand Master is a vicious tiger? !

"My lord, I am only two years older than my lord." Why did you say that you are old?

"..."
