September is full of flowers

I don't think this room is empty on weekdays, but today Shen Man and Tang Jiuyue are left here alone, and I feel that it is too quiet and weird.

I was speechless for a while, looking at the steaming pufferfish on the table, Shen Man swallowed, and suggested, "It's not interesting to eat fish alone, why don't we go to the kitchen and find some appetizers, let's have a drink?"

Tang Jiuyue swept her eyelashes lightly, nodded sharply and said, "Okay."

So the master and the apprentice began to drink in the dream room.Tang Jiuyue's capacity for drinking is actually very good, because of her special constitution, she has never been drunk.But because there is a close friend Qing Ningmen Supervisor who doesn't hold alcohol by his side, this guy is easy to become a crazy woman when he gets drunk, and he can play the piano indiscriminately when he is crazy. There were hundreds of roosters, which caused the roosters to crow crazily that night, and even the hens waiting to be slaughtered in the palace had their genders mixed up and screamed all night.

None of the princes and princesses could fall asleep. On the second day, the head of internal affairs ran to the Taige anxiously with dark circles under his eyes, saying that he wanted to catch the real culprit, but Tang Jiuyue stopped him.At that time, Qing Ning was still drunk and almost stabbed the basket again.

Although Tang Jiuyue was not afraid of being held accountable by the inner court, she was also afraid of trouble, so she ordered no wine to be hidden in the Taige, and at the same time banned all possible wine making places within a ten-mile radius of Lemen where Qing Ning was located.Therefore, there are rumors in the Taige that "the gate supervisor hates people who drink alcohol and never drinks alcohol".

But Shen Man didn't know about this matter, firstly, she came here for a short period of time, and secondly, she herself didn't drink alcohol.It's just that tonight is a long night, and there is a delicious poisonous fish in front of the two of them, so she thinks that they should have some drinks to cheer them up.

Tang Jiuyue's posture of pouring wine was still elegant, and the white jade cup was two-thirds full, and she handed it to Shen Man.When Shen Man took it, he touched Tang Jiuyue's slender fingers intentionally or unintentionally, and pretended not to notice, but felt a little proud in his heart.

If he could stay by Tang Jiuyue's side like this all the time, wouldn't he be able to eat some tofu from time to time?

She also has a small Jiujiu in her heart, and she has her own calculations.

Tang Jiuyue said lightly, "Look at you, have you got Zhou Ting's embroidered bag?"

Shen Man took out a bag from his bosom, handed it to Tang Jiuyue and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Tang Jiuyue took the embroidered bag and observed it carefully.Then he opened it, poured out the amputated phalanx and held it in his hand.The eyes are lightly closed, and the eyes are closed to meditate.

Shen Man didn't dare to disturb him.The candlelight next to it jumped with a "click", and the shadows of the two people also jumped.

"Sure enough."

"So what?" Shen Man asked.Today we split things up, Tang Jiuyue went to the weather gate, and so far there is no other news except that he brought back a poisonous fish.

Tang Jiuyue said in a deep voice, "I went to see my uncle today, and I smelled a fragrance on his body. This fragrance is not a flower fragrance or any other ordinary fragrance, but a kind of burning incense. Since we are members of the Yin and Yang Taoist sect, naturally we will not go to temples Such a place, thinking about it, my uncle may have set up a mourning hall in the room, and he may be offering sacrifices to someone."

"Could it be that you are paying homage to Mr. Tang?"

Tang Jiuyue looked at Shen Man and said quietly, "Maybe he is worshiping his wife."

"And then, have you determined who he is worshiping?"

Tang Jiuyue opened and closed her mouth, and said slowly, "Looking at the spirit card hidden in the cabinet, it is undoubtedly to worship Mr. Tang."

Shen Man pondered, "Since this is the case, it means that Tang Huiyuan knew his son was dead long ago, but still declared his disappearance to the outside world. Why?"

"Although he declared his disappearance to the outside world, he has never mentioned the progress of Mr. Tang in recent years. This shows that he already knows that he will not be able to find Mr. Tang." Tang Jiuyue turned the white jade cup in her hand, something was floating in her eyes , "There is a force suppressing this matter."

Shen Man said strangely, "It's so strange to help the real culprit to cover up the truth even though he knew his son was dead." She paused, looked at Tang Jiuyue and said, "Could it be that he can't even tell you truth?"

Tang Jiuyue shook her head, "Back then I was only interested in taking the exam. After I entered the Taige, I followed Zou Damenjian's instructions to retreat. I knew almost nothing about the outside world, so I missed this secret."

Shen Man pondered for a while, "Where does that finger bone point out Mr. Tang?"

Tang Jiuyue took a deep breath, "It's inside the weather gate."

Shen Man was stunned, "It's actually in the weather gate? But didn't Zhou Ting say that the 'little bird' was in the tripod, why is it in the weather gate?"

"I guess my cousin was in the cauldron at first, but was moved out later. Zhou Ting saw the scene where my cousin was killed and hidden in the cauldron, so she always thought he was still in the cauldron .”

"If that's the case, who was the person who removed his body?" Shen Man became more and more confused, "Since this person has already recognized Mr. Tang's body, why didn't he talk about it?"

Tang Jiuyue's tone was flat, but her words were shocking, "This person is none other than my uncle, Tang Huiyuan's supervisor."

"Ah?" Shen Man was so frightened that he accidentally choked, bent over and coughed.At this time, a pair of hands stretched out and patted his back lightly.After Shen Man realized whose hand it was, he choked even more.

Tang Jiuyue frowned, "Why are you so careless..." So she increased the strength in her hands, but she never thought that this would almost cause Shen Man's internal injuries to die in the future, and almost make Shen Man unable to practice martial arts.

Shen Man spat out a mouthful of blood and was stunned.

"This……"

Tang Jiuyue glanced at it and asked, "Xiao Man, have you suffered internal injuries?"

Shen Man wanted to cry but had no tears, "I have never been beaten before, except you..."

Tang Jiuyue didn't speak for a while, and after a long time, she coughed lightly and changed the topic, "After thinking about it, there is only one reasonable explanation for all these things, that is, when Mr. Tang was killed by Zhou Gai, he was killed by Zhou Gai first." It was hidden in the cauldron, and later it was transported out and buried in the field outside the city."

"That piece of land has been given to Tang Huiyuan as a betrothal gift. Isn't Zhou Gai afraid of being discovered by Tang Huiyuan?"

Tang Jiuyue wrote lightly, "Zhou Gai has studied the art of war and knows 'surprise'. Who would have guessed that the long-lost person will be under his nose?"

"But Tang Menjian is a member of the Yin-Yang Dao, and Zhou Gai may not know that our Yin-Yang Dao has its own unique way to find people." Shen Man expressed sympathy, "Tang Huiyuan must have found Mr. Tang's bones here later, and he was heartbroken. .”

"Well," Tang Jiuyue nodded and continued, "but he didn't say anything."

"Why is this?" Shen Man felt inconceivable, "That is his only son, there is no reason for him to ignore it like this."

Tang Jiuyue shook her head lightly, and sighed, "Tang Huiyuan is the court orderer, and he has to listen to someone's orders."

Shen Man's eyes widened in surprise, "You mean—" She paused, her teeth were clenched, and she said angrily, "How can this be done?!"

Tang Jiuyue didn't have many emotional fluctuations, and sighed softly, "This is the sorrow of being a courtier."

Shen Man bit his lips and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and his eyes glowed and said, "This cauldron should never have seen the light of day, but now it has appeared in full view, and it has been involved in so many murders, could it be—"

Tang Jiuyue looked at Shen Man approvingly, "That's right, keep talking."

Shen Man tried his best to analyze the matter clearly, "Since there are hints from above, Tang Huiyuan can only endure it. But he couldn't swallow this breath, so he followed the matter of the Yin Yang Dao exam and specially arranged the most important exam room at the weather gate Here, he wants to use this to tell the world, and wants to use the world's long mouths to criticize Zhou Gai!"

"□□Not far away." Tang Jiuyue asked with one hand resting on her shoulders, "Then who do you think was responsible for the dozens of corpses in this cauldron?"

Just as Shen Man was about to answer, he heard a thick voice coming from outside the door.

"Don't guess, it's all the old man's handwriting." As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "crash".Shen Man trembled all over, she had already fastened the bolt on this door, such a thick piece of wood was torn apart by the man outside with all his strength, it was completely broken!

The person who came was none other than Zhou Gai, the Shangshuling who had only met yesterday.When he came back early, Zhou Ting pestered him and said, "The bird is missing." After several searches, he found out that Shen Man had sneaked in and used "Stealing the Dragon and Turning the Phoenix" to steal the bird from Zhou Ting's hand. The embroidered bag was cheated away.So he changed into court clothes and rushed over, but heard Shen Man's conclusion outside the door.

At this moment, Zhou Gai was full of killing aura, looking at Shen Man, he wanted to cut Shen Man into pieces.Shen Man was just in a daze just now, but now he is calm and relaxed.Because Tang Jiuyue, the guardian god, was by his side, Zhou Gai couldn't defeat Tang Damen Supervisor.

Tang Jiuyue smiled lightly, pointed to an empty seat and said, "Shang Shuling Zhou came to visit late at night, how about sitting down and chatting too?"

Zhou Gai also sat down, glanced at the dishes on the table, and stared at the puffer fish with a strange look in his eyes.

Shen Man stared intently, feeling that under the oppression of these two men who were tense with swords, he had no room to speak, so he decisively pretended to be dumb and did not intend to get involved.

Unexpectedly, she didn't speak, but Zhou Gai spoke again, "I know you were sent by the Taige. This matter has been entangled in my heart for many years, and I am ashamed. Since you all know about it today, I will not hide it." Hidden."

"So, you admit that you killed more than a dozen people in the Zhou Mansion and buried them in the cauldron to protect your luck?" Tang Jiuyue asked.

"That's right, I did it all, including Mr. Tang's life, which was also my fault." Zhou Gai's hands on his lap slowly tightened.

"I don't understand this. Since Mr. Tang is your future son-in-law, why did you kill him?"

Zhou Gai's eyes flashed, and he hesitated, "That kid didn't know the current affairs and refused to marry me Ting'er. I accidentally killed him in a rage. Later, I was afraid that people would find out, so I went to Yun Ding to take his body together. After transporting it out and burying it in the field I gave to Tang Huiyuan, it can be regarded as returning my son to him."

Shen Man raised his hand to his chin, thinking in his heart, listening to their repeated questions, so this week Gai really killed Mr. Tang, and then continued to kill many people in the Zhou Mansion to save his luck. .

Tang Jiuyue was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Shang Shuling Zhou, your ability to make up stories is really not very good."
