Zhuoying

Zhong You didn't know how to deal with this "handling", the killer had indeed disappeared.Shi Yu came back in the morning, the bookshelves in the room had been rearranged, all the bloody books were put away, Zhong You boiled water and waited for him.

When Shi Yupao was put into the bucket, Zhong You took off his clothes only to find that the wounds were covered with cold sores, and it took a long time to clean them up.

The windows are barely blocked, and reconstruction is imminent.At this moment, I don't know if it's because of the cold, the room is a bit cold.The sounds of the villagers walking in the morning are getting louder, and the poultry is noisy, but the house is very quiet.

Zhong You wrapped gauze around Shi Yu's waist, but there was no medicine at home, Zhong You was afraid that the wound would fester, so he thought about going to town after Shi Yu fell asleep.If Meng Chen was not in the town at the moment, Zhong You just wanted to ask immediately what kind of business Uncle Meng was running here.

Shi Yu was extremely calm from the moment he killed the man to the time he dealt with it, this was by no means the first time.I am afraid that what Mengchen said at the beginning of "Cultivating nature through meditation" did not just refer to Liu Qianling.

Zhong You didn't make a sound at the end of the line, he never took a good look at Shi Yu's back.Today, the bright house is bright, and the horizontal scars can be clearly seen on Shi Yuba's exposed back.The severity varies, and there are many traces of scratches on the knife edge.The people from Shenshui Village attacked Shiyu at night before, and Zhong You also used the medicine, but the sticks were all concentrated on the back shoulders, and he had never seen the following positions.

Seeing it so close at this moment makes people feel distressed.

"Sir." Shi Yu tilted his head slightly, "...Mr."

Zhong You leaned against his back from behind, resting his forehead on the broad back, without making a sound.

Shi Yu lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you."

The two of them are leaning on each other between the beds, the window is bright, and the only one is blocked by the bookshelf.

Shi Yu looked at the fingers covered by the darkness, and said: "Nine years ago I killed Liu Qianling in the cellar of Liu's house. Although Liu Wanchen did not report to the officials because he was greedy for Liu Qianling's business, he only said that he stumbled and fell to his death after being drunk, but his body entered There are always eyes that cannot be avoided. Master just came to Changhe Town at that time, and he came to see me many times after hearing about it, and wanted to teach me on the right path. I..." He plucked the broken hair on his forehead in vain, and said :"I can not."

Once stained with blood, nightmares often follow.Meng Chen thought that what he was imprisoning in his heart was a ferocious beast, but Shi Yu felt that what was imprisoning in his chest was another self.He knows better than anyone how calm he is whenever he holds a knife in his hand.Liu Qianling's death was like a nightmare, even though he resisted retching, he had to admit it.

If he did it again, he would still be like this.

There are more things under Mengchen's business, and it is no accident that the Mengguan is located on the bank of the long river.Every time he returned home from a runaway, when he kept splashing ice water in the middle of the night, Shi Yu would also wonder if Master wanted to bring him back to the right way, or just because of this indifferent and tyrannical heart.

Zhong You couldn't see the way ahead at night, and Shi Yu couldn't see the end in daytime.It was the first time he took his husband to find his way in the dark, and the feeling he felt was an indescribable joy.This cruel pleasure is like the ghost who has been hiding under Shu Lang's smile has found something.

But Mr. is not.

His back was covered with scars, and the forehead that had been pressing it was lifted up, and the warm lips soothed little by little, kissing and pecking all the wounds all over his body.Shi Yu looked back in the shadows, his eyes half covered by his hands were dark and complicated.

Zhong You kissed the back of his ear, and said, "Do you know the 'Way of Heaven'?" Without needing Shi Yu's answer, Zhong You kissed the back of his ear, with a warm and peaceful voice.

"Jinghou has a knife called 'Tiandao'. At first I thought it was for the heavens, because you see that this person's life, from birth to death, has been reduced to the word 'Zheng'. However, when he entered school, the teacher said this' The way of heaven is the way of success, fame and retreat, the way of heaven." He breathed slightly warm in Shi Yu's ear, but said: "This is the biggest joke I have heard in half my life."

Achievement, fame, retirement, Jinghou did not achieve any of them.And every one, he was one step away.

"To be loyal to the people, for the integrity of his name, and for his relatives. The orthographic writing of his life is incomplete, but his strokes are profound. Shi Yu, in such a life, you call him a biography of a sage, but I only treat it as a song of the end." Zhong You pulled Shi Yu's hand, covered his shoulders, and said slowly: "Liu Qianling is intimidating, and the insider keeps silent when receiving the money, no one proposes, and no one punishes you. If you submit to it, it is definitely not righteous. , but aiding evil. Last night, the killer was seeking his life for money, and there was no way to investigate it carefully, and there was no place to arrest him. For the public, all laws are correct. Even Uncle Meng dare not speak for himself."

Zhong You held Shi Yu's hand tightly, "Although it can't be called great benefit, it should be said to be upright. You are not wrong." He looked straight into Shi Yu's eyes, and said firmly: "There is nothing wrong with it."

Shi Yu was startled, Zhong You stroked his forehead hair, and then sighed suddenly: "You look decisive, but you are really a fool."

Zhong You didn't say anything.

Even if Liu Qianling's matter was proposed, no one was severely punished.The Liu family has a lot of money in Qingshui Township, otherwise Liu Wanchen would not take the revenge of murdering his brother for ulterior motives.Liu Qianling has no scruples in doing things, besides knowing Shi Tingzhou's secret, is there no other reason?Casual people in Changhe Town can pull this out as an after-dinner chat, but no one has reported it to officials for many years.In the past, he was afraid of the Liu family, but later he was afraid of the Mengguan, and this secret implicated both the former crown prince and the present sage.Even Qi Yi, who is now the biggest in Qingping Mansion, doesn't dare, otherwise he would rather break up Chang Lehou and kill Liu Qinghuan immediately.

When Zhong Xie left, Zhong You didn't say a word.One is that it involves a lot of things, why the investigation was leaked, and the Zhong family in Jingdu couldn't get rid of it cleanly.Second, among the people he knew, Zhong Xie was probably the only one who would go to Tiger Mountain knowing that there were tigers on the mountain.

Zhong You's sigh was probably not sighing at himself.

He often thinks that he can hide in the mountains, but he can't escape the noise. He is not only a wild man, but also a fake man.

Shi Yu hugged Mr. with his backhand.

The light and shadow gradually slanted, and the bed was bright.

It snowed outside Qingping Mansion, and the ice froze. When Zhong Xie came out, he was just catching up with the people sweeping the snow and shoveling the ice.Although he is a bit old-fashioned, he is not bad towards others. The people below are also happy to see him and greet him all the way.

Now that Zhong Xie has been promoted from Du Liang Dao to the inspector, Qi Yi intends to cultivate him and stay by his side.It was getting late when he came out today, Zhong Xie was hungry, and it was cold outside, so he just wanted to go to a familiar wonton shop to eat a bowl of hot wontons.He was walking by the side, but after a few steps, he saw a sedan chair flashing into his eyes, he stopped his pace and gave way, but the sedan chair stopped in front of him instead.

The curtain was lifted sideways, revealing an acquaintance's face, very elegant.

Zhong Xie was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Chunjing."

Zhou Pu smiled, and said in response, "Ruchen, come up. I'll tell you in detail."

Zhong Xie entered the sedan chair, it was warm inside.Zhou Pu stuffed him with a hand stove and put it in his sleeve to warm his cold hands.

This person is indeed an acquaintance. His surname is Zhou, his name is Pu, and his style name is Chunjing. He is the youngest son of the Zhou family in Kyoto.He is not only an acquaintance of Zhong Xie, but also an acquaintance of Zhong You. He joined the Procuratorate years ago and is now a seventh-rank censor.In Kyoto II's first class, Zhong Xie alone made friends with this person, because of his like-mindedness, he was still a gentle gentleman.

Zhong Xie was delighted to see his old friend, and only asked, "When did you come? I don't know."

Zhou Pu smiled and said, "Fang Dao. Now that the New Year is approaching, and the annual meeting is just around the corner, the Inspectorate will also go down to make inspections. I thought you were here, so I recommended myself and caught a good wind." Sending off, I brought some clothes, don’t forget to take them later. It’s cold, let’s find a place to talk about it.”

Zhong Xie didn't take anyone to the wonton shop, but went to a restaurant.The two entered the room and sat down, then said: "How is Beijing?"

Zhou Pu sipped his tea and said with a smile: "Every year is the same. This year, when the snow fell early, His Royal Highness Prince Pingding returned to Luyi Mountain. It seems that this year he intends to spend time with His Majesty."

King Pingding's return to Beijing meant that the Supreme Emperor also returned to Beijing.In recent years, the two often stayed in Jingzhen and Shanyin, and this time they return to Beijing for the New Year, I am afraid that there will be another shock in the capital.

Zhong Xie nodded and said, "I'm away, I won't be going back this year."

"I guess it should be." Zhou Pu just sighed, "You and Bai Gu are not in Beijing, so I'm afraid that no one will be with me this year." Then he asked: "Is there any news about Bai Gu recently? "

Zhong Xieben hesitated for a while when he was pouring tea.

Zhou Pu smiled, "I've seen it before."

"It's...well, I've seen it before." Zhong Xie put the teapot down, and flipped the cup with his fingertips, and said, "It's actually worrying."

Zhou Pu said, "But because of family matters?"

"You know?"

"I don't know the details, but I know that he left Jiangtang Zhong's house now, and dropped the jade plate with his name when he left." Zhou Pu didn't hide it, and said clearly: "Zi Run was worried that he would be alone, so he told me These. White Ou has always been gentle and kind to people, so there must be a reason for being so decisive."

Zirun is Zhong Ze, the second son of the Zhong family in Jiangtang.Zhong Xie only knew people, not as familiar with him as Zhou Pu.However, in addition to Zhong He taking care of Zhong You in the Zhong family these years, this Zhong Ze will also remember this younger brother, Zhong Xie has heard of it once or twice.

Zhong Xie shook his head, "I'm only worried that he'll be so silent."

He didn't mention the reason, Zhou Pu also skipped asking, just said: "If it's convenient to come to Japan, it would be nice if I can see you. I've been in Kyoto for a long time, and I just want everyone to be safe. It's hard to get out of Beijing. Although I didn't mention it, I must be thinking about Bai Gu in my heart."

"Brother." Zhong Xie still didn't say what he wanted to say, but said: "It's not difficult to meet each other, Chunjing should take care."

The two talked for a while, and the food was served, but they didn't mention it while eating.It is only said that the sedan chair sent Zhong Xie home, and when they arrived at the door, the two stood together, another farewell.

When he was about to go, Zhou Pu hesitated, and still said: "A few days ago, I heard that Liu Qinghuan was beheaded, and the local punishment was brought to the Procuratorate according to the case file of the procuratorate. I saw your name. Tell me, this case was indeed passed by you. hand?"

"Naturally." Zhong Xie was not stupid, and asked instead, "Is Changle Marquis alright?"

"No new recruits have been found." Zhou Pu said seriously: "It can be seen that he has moved a little bit of sincerity towards Liu Qinghuan. I don't know the details of this case, but is it a murder case?"

"Exactly. It's not only a murder case, but also two lives. Kong Xiangwen obstructed the case halfway, which almost delayed the truth."

"that's it?"

Zhong Xie paused slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Ruchen." Zhou Pu said earnestly: "Liu Qinghuan is Changlehou's favorite now, and next year Changlehou will leave Beijing to take up a post in Wuhan Foshan, and he is the only person by his side. Why did he suddenly come to Qingping?"

Zhong Xie didn't answer.

"I see the name Shi Tingzhou was mentioned in the case, do you remember?"

"Me." Zhong Xie frowned, "very familiar."

Zhou Pu sighed, "Shi Tingzhou, Fu on the Buddha Stele. You have forgotten that you were the one who showed me this Fu."

Zhong Xie was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered.He practiced calligraphy when he was young, and he found a copy of "Buddha Stele Fu" in his grandfather's study, which was signed by Shi Tingzhou.It's just that the writing of this article is not critical enough, but the writing is very sharp, so he followed it for a while.Later, Zhong Ziming said that the word was too sharp to be used for a long time, so he accepted it.

"It's actually him." Zhong Xie thought to himself, then thought again, Zhong You also read this article, why didn't he mention it to him?

Zhou Pu had already entered the sedan chair, and he only told him: "You should pay attention to Chang Lehou."

Zhong Xie responded uneasy, and waited for the person to leave, still standing outside the door in a daze.

Did Zhong You also forget?Let's not talk about Shi Tingzhou, just talk about Changlehou.If Marquis Changle held grudges, wouldn't he have known where Zhong You was by following the Zhijin Order?

Zhong Xie frowned deeply, and decided to take advantage of the rest of the year to go to Changhe Town again and ask Zhong You to pay attention.
