I have a book to play

At exactly [-] o'clock, at the north gate of the capital, the sound of drums came from the Mu Drum Tower.

With the sound of drums, Mu Ye's closed city gate was pushed open amidst the chanting of the gate guards.By the end of the drumming, the four city gates in the east, west, north, south, and north of the capital had been opened, and the crowds who had been waiting outside the gates began to flow into the capital.

Xie Zhang was also preparing to return to the palace at this time.

Standing in front of the carriage, Sun Xian bid farewell to her father. She raised her eyes and saw Sun Peng, who had an ugly face. Obviously, he couldn't help but glared at him.

The latter smiled and touched the tip of his nose.

"Is Qilang in good health? Why don't you go back to the East Palace with Gu, and Gu has ordered someone to catch the culprit who caused your injury."

Sun Xian turned around and got into the carriage, when she suddenly heard Xie Zhang speak, she subconsciously frowned, turned around and said, "Your Highness, Qilang's injury has not healed yet."

"Ah, Gu forgot about this." Xie Zhang waved his hand shamefully, "Forget it, since that's the case, this matter is up to Gu to decide. Only after Qilang recovers from his injuries can he return to work as soon as possible in the Crane Guard."

"Your Highness..."

Sun Xian still wanted to say something, but accidentally caught a glimpse of Sun Peng blinking at her.

Her younger brother, who is a direct relative, is the smartest, but fortunately, he has a pure temperament, otherwise, he would cause a lot of troubles with his stomach full of bad water.

Seeing Sun Peng blinking, Sun Xian simply stopped talking, bent down and walked into the carriage.When the car curtain was drawn down, he clearly heard his laughter coming from outside.

"Brother-in-law of the prince, when the injury recovers, Qilang will take his leave and go back to work."

"Okay, I'll wait for Qilang to come back. In a few days, there will be a shooting competition in the palace, and I will take you to watch it."

"In this case, Qilang will thank the prince's brother-in-law first!"

Xie Zhang intended to say a few more words to Sun Peng, but the timing was wrong and he couldn't make a stop, so he got in the car and left.

The husband and wife had their own concerns, and sat in the carriage without saying a word.It's just that the current environment is much more convenient than last night in the Sun Mansion, and some things can be said openly.

"Xu Fengyi is pregnant."

Sun Xian closed her eyes and took a nap, hearing the sound of the finger on her belly twitching, she opened her eyes and said, "So, my concubine congratulates Your Highness."

She is not Xie Zhang's original wife.The former concubine Lin, Yifeng married into the East Palace in the seventh year, but died of illness in only half a year.At that time, in the East Palace, Emperor Liang was pregnant with Xie Zhang's child.

Therefore, even if Xie Zhang has a few more children, it is not a big deal to her.

After all, for those women in the East Palace, spreading branches and leaves for the prince means that the future mother is more expensive than the child.

As for her, her heart has long since died with others, so how could she care.

"Erniang, when will you be able to give birth to a child for the orphan, both boys and girls are fine."

Xie Zhang stretched out his hand, hugged Sun Xian in his arms, and said affectionate words expressionlessly.

"As long as it's your child, boy or girl is fine."

*****

After all, Sun Peng was young, and his injury was in the back of his head, but after a few days of treatment, he recovered quickly.It's just that because of the previous "disappearance", everyone in the Sun family was worried about him, and no one dared to let him go out of the house at will.

Sun Peng could bear the loneliness, he stayed in the room all day long, took a pen and paper, and wrote something at his desk.

It's just that even the little boy Gouqi, who is serving him personally, can't see a word, and others have no way of knowing.All I know is that in those few days, the candles in Sun Peng's room were always lit very late.

In fact, since someone visited his house that night, Sun Peng didn't dare to sleep deeply.

He didn't know the identity of that person, nor did he know the purpose of the other person, so he couldn't judge whether there was any danger.The only thing he could do was to be vigilant all the time. He didn't dare to sleep too deeply or dream. Sometimes he tossed and turned, so he simply got up and went to the case, took a piece of paper, and picked up a pen to write and draw.

He is remembering those things he remembered in his previous life.

From the third year of Baoying to the fourth year of Baoying, although it was only a short year, there were too many things that he could not recall now.

But if he doesn't write down these things, he is afraid that one day he will forget those hatreds because of his happy life in this world.

But in just a few days, there was already a pile of papers in the box he hid.

Each one is filled with the ins and outs of what happened.

On this day, he stopped writing and picked up a piece of paper facing the candlelight.

This time, instead of being filled with memories, it is a painting.There is only one person in the painting.

The person in the painting is holding an umbrella, as if walking against the wind, and the dilapidated lantern in his hand, seems to be blown to the other side by the wind.

Under the light of the candlelight, it is enough for people to see that the painting is a jade-faced monk, wearing a thin plain white monk robe with wide sleeves, as if through this small portrait, you can still smell the familiar sandalwood .

Sun Peng held the painting, looked at it over and over again for a long time, and finally put it on the candlelight, let the tongue of fire lick it, and burned it completely, leaving nothing behind.

This is someone he couldn't let go of in his previous life, and is destined to remember him in this life.However, before the troublesome matter was resolved, he didn't want to go to him, and he didn't want that person to get into trouble because of him.

"Goji berry." Sun Peng shouted.

The door was pushed open, and the little boy Gouqi hurried in: "Qilang."

Sun Peng wiped his hands and said, "Go to my father and tell me that I plan to cancel my vacation tomorrow and return to the East Palace as an errand."

That night, he closed the doors and windows tightly, and sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt. He didn't know whether it was because he couldn't sleep well in the previous nights, or because of other reasons.He nodded his head like this, closed his eyes bit by bit, lay down slowly, and fell into a sweet sleep.

Outside the door, there was a figure staying for a long time.

*****

Sun Peng canceled his vacation the next day and returned to the Crane Guard.

The crane guards were originally the prince's left and right guards leading the mansion, because the palace where the prince lived was guarded by white cranes, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, so the prince's left and right guards led the mansion to have the title of crane guards.

When Sun Peng returned to the Crane Guard, he saw the thoughtful gazes of his colleagues as expected.

He has always been out of place here.Even in his previous life, he tried his best to build a good relationship with his colleagues, but it was still in vain.

He even remembered clearly that these people had participated in his pursuit.These people have his blood on their hands.

"Sun Qilang, you dare to come back!"

After Sun Peng changed into black armor, just as he stepped out of the threshold, a man approached aggressively.Sun Peng raised his eyes, and saw that the man had a hulking back, a black suit and black armor on his body, like a wall of iron and steel, and behind this man was a long list of colleagues who were not on duty.

"Sun Qilang, you caused Lao He to be expelled from the Crane Guard by the crown prince, yet you still have the face to come back! Aren't you afraid that we will beat you to the ground?"

"Why don't you dare to come back?" Sun Peng straightened his wristbands unhurriedly, "Mu Canjun might as well tell me, why don't I dare to come back?"

As soon as he spoke, his voice was calm, and the colleagues who had come here with the mentality of watching a good show suddenly fell silent.

The group looked at each other, as if they couldn't recognize the boy in front of them.

When did Sun Qilang, who was deliberately bullied by them and could only endure his grievances with a smile, become able to choke people with his mouth, and no longer had so many scruples?

Mou San was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Sun Peng to ask such a question, his face turned blue immediately, and he clenched his fists: "You! You were injured yourself, and Lao He was driven away, so you don't feel guilty?"

"That's right! Lao He has worked in the Crane Guard for so many years, if it wasn't for you this time, how could he be driven away!"

Sun Peng glanced over the faces of the people who were filled with righteous indignation, and finally looked at Mou San with a smile and said, "Mou Canjun, why don't you tell me how the jade pendant that Big Brother He had fell into the pool of the East Palace?"

The reason why he fell into the water was, in the final analysis, because Mou San asked Lao He for help when he said that Lao He's jade pendant fell into the water.Thinking about it now, Lao He's jade pendant fell into the water, how could it be Mou San's turn to find someone to fish for it?

Mou San obviously didn't expect Sun Peng to ask this question, his face changed drastically, and he was really annoyed, but because of the crowd behind him, he could only say angrily: "You stole it, and then accidentally fell into it!"

"Why should I steal Big Brother He's jade pendant?"

"That's because you are greedy..." subconsciously retorted, Mou San's face was grim, and he made a look of pity for others, and then he woke up again, "No, you are because... because..."

Sun Peng didn't give him a chance to make any other excuses at all, smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "Brother Mou seems to have forgotten that the Sun family has been a civil servant for generations, and my father has been an official to Dali Temple. Since childhood, he has followed the elders in the family. Xi Wen also read a lot of files and cases, so not long ago, following the clues, I made a careful investigation and found some interesting details, which seem to be inseparable from Brother Mou."

Everyone never expected that this young man who looked thin, weak and incompetent would come up with such a trick, and looked at Mou San with more amusement for a while.

The Sun Peng before his rebirth was used to being bullied, but he just endured it, and few people other than the Crane Guards knew about it.If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have waited until something happened to anger the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince had no choice but to drive him out of the East Palace.

Mou San originally planned to humiliate him again in front of others, thinking that it was still easy to do, but turned out to be what he is now.

The five-year-old man had a pale face, and was a little anxious: "You are talking nonsense! When did I have anything to do with Lao He's affairs? I, I am not worth it for him!"

Sun Peng nodded and said, "That's right! It's not worth it."

Sun Peng was young, but now he is only a 14-year-old boy. Although he still looks a little sick, his high spirits when he speaks makes people feel very eye-catching.

All the men and women in the Sun residence, including the Grand Master Sun, are known for their good looks.When I went to Sun Peng and his direct sister Sun Xian, because they merged with the appearance of their biological mother, the siblings looked even more elegant and picturesque.

"I have investigated Brother He's family situation. There is a long-term sick mother in his family, and the family is in decline. If it is not because of the meritorious deeds of the deceased father, he may not be able to enter the Crane Guard. All valuables in the family, he The pawn was exchanged for money, which was used to fill the household and to buy medicine for his mother. The jade pendant he dropped into the water was a token of love given to him by his wife back then. It is not a priceless jade, which can be found everywhere on the street. The most important thing is the camaraderie.”

Sun Peng squinted his eyes: "The Sun family is in the capital. Although it can't be called a first-class family, it is still well-off. Even the rewards it has received over the years are not rare. What kind of jade has never been seen before?" , why should I covet a jade pendant between other people's husband and wife, which is not ordinary in the eyes of outsiders?"

This made sense, and many people began to nod their heads immediately.

After all, as Sun Peng said, there is no comparison between Lao He's family background and the Sun family's. If so, with Sun Peng's background, how could he be greedy for Lao He's jade pendant.

What's more, Lao He was always nervous about the jade pendant, and rarely showed it in front of others. How did Sun Peng, who didn't have the same room as Lao He, know what the jade pendant looked like?

These questions gradually surfaced in everyone's mind.Looking at Mou San again, he was breaking out in a cold sweat and was already too nervous to speak.

"So, I don't know why Brother He's jade pendant fell into the pool. Even Brother Mou told me about it. Could it be that Brother Mou, you forgot?"

Mou San was dripping with cold sweat.

Sun Peng looked at him and smiled, and suddenly stopped drinking: "You share the same room with Brother He, and it is most likely to steal the jade pendant hidden by Brother He like a treasure. You threw the jade pendant into the pool, and then claimed that you are not good at water, and asked me to come in for help Salvage. After I went into the water to search for a long time, failed to find the jade pendant, and went ashore instead, you brought Brother He who believed your lie and believed that I stole the jade pendant and fell into the pool by mistake!"

Mou San's legs were weak, and he subconsciously stepped back.

Seeing this, Sun Peng took a few steps forward and asked forcefully, "Brother He has always been straightforward. He immediately decided that it was my fault. When he saw me go ashore, he punched me down. Not only did you not explain and dissuade me, you even assisted me from the sidelines. You took the opportunity to push me. I didn’t want me to be knocked down, and the back of my head hit the cobblestone by the pool, and I fell into the pool with bleeding wounds. You dragged Brother He away, but you didn’t find anyone to rescue me. If it wasn’t for the princess who happened to send someone Come and look for me, I'm afraid my life has already been left at the bottom of the pool at that time!"

Sun Peng's pressing step by step forced Mou San to turn around and run, but the colleagues who were watching behind him did not dare to take half a step back.

With Lao He as a precedent, who would dare to make fun of Sun Peng's life again.Moreover, Lao He was indeed wronged, but this grievance was not given by Sun Peng. If the culprit is not caught, how can Lao He feel at ease at home.

However, Mou San was strong and strong, and he struggled vigorously, but no one could stop him.

"Don't chase anymore." Sun Peng called to his colleagues who were about to chase, and smiled gently as before, "Since the truth is revealed, other things are not important. Brother He, I will I'll make it clear."

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and they only think that he is kind-hearted, so they have no choice but to give up.

sunset.

In an alley near the west gate of the capital, a man was pushed to the ground, and heavy wooden sticks hit him from all directions.

He wanted to ask for help, but his mouth had already been stuffed with a ball of sackcloth, and now it was mixed with saliva and tears, which made him speechless, even the word pain.

A wooden stick was broken with a "snap".

"okay."

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out.The sticks stopped moving in an instant.

"Go ahead and get the money. Remember to throw all the sticks into the moat."

After Sun Peng finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced sideways at the man whose back was covered in blood and flesh on the ground. The corners of his lips curled up, and he stopped talking. He lowered the brim of his hat to cover his face and hurriedly left the alley.

The working gangsters stopped bothering the men on the ground, spat one after another, and happily went to the agreed place to collect the money.

When there was no other sound in the alley, the man whimpered and got up from the ground. The swollen face was obviously Mou San who had escaped from the Crane Guard before.

"Amitabha."

A monk appeared suddenly, Mou San trembled all over, and he couldn't stop urinating all over the floor.

The monk was wearing a plain white monk's robe, with a string of Buddhist beads wrapped around his wrist.

"Snapped".

A full money bag was thrown in front of Mou San's eyes, and an ingot of silver rolled out, shining brightly.Mou San forgot the pain on his body, subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"Take this money and take the whole family to leave the capital overnight. No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to come back."

Mou San scrambled and grabbed the money bag, just thinking that the monk was helping people in need, and without caring to see the monk's face, kowtowed several times, got up in a panic, dragged his broken leg, and hurried away from the alley .

The white-clothed monk stood there all the time, his fingers like jade carvings moved the beads regularly, and the deep voice slowly rang out with a meaningful tone after a long time.

"In this life of the poor monk, it is hard to save only one person, but it is difficult to save one."
