exactly

In the end, Liu Guicheng was acquitted, and Shining Star Company solely borne all the losses, and compensated Liu Youneng's accidental casualty and Liu Guicheng's mental damage. All the policemen who detained and beat Liu Guicheng were dismissed.

When passing through the corridor outside the court, several people in charge of Xingyao Company gathered together and were discussing something in a low voice. Seeing Xi Ling and his party walking by, one of them who looked like the leader sneered.

"Are you proud? Don't worry, I will make you more proud." The middle-aged man with a thick face and a fat body gritted his teeth.

Xi Ling turned a blind eye to it, and still strolled in the vestibule.

"I heard that the boss of Xingyao Company is a cousin of the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau." Shen Qingmo said quietly.

Xi Ling sneered: "In this case, if your friend helps us this time, he won't be afraid of offending his boss."

"I heard that the director is going to retire this year, and it is necessary to choose someone who can take his place from the two deputy directors, and my friend..."

"It's from another wave." Before Shen Qingmo could finish speaking, Xi Ling said.

Shen Qingmo was noncommittal, and then reminded him: "Although you don't live in Taiyuan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, you still have to be on guard at all times. This deputy director is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The reason why he can be so unscrupulous must be It’s someone above, you shouldn’t go your own way, when they ask for an out-of-court settlement, we should actually agree.”

"By agreeing to a settlement out of court, Liu Guicheng's crime of manslaughtering his own son has been confirmed. Although he has no education, but such a false accusation is imposed on him, I am afraid he will not have a good life in his life." Xi Ling replied calmly, Zheng Liang His leather shoes stepped on the empty promenade, and the sound was sonorous and powerful.

Outside the court, Chang Qin had been waiting there with Bai Yulan and her mother-in-law for a long time. Seeing Xi Ling in a neat suit from afar, walking towards him calmly with documents in his hands, he couldn't help smiling.When Xi Ling saw him, a beautiful smile burst out on his face that was as cold as ice a second ago.

"Liu Guicheng still needs to go through some procedures, but he will be out soon." Xi Ling said to Bai Yulan with a smile.

"Thank you." Bai Yulan said as she was about to kneel down, but was hurriedly helped by Xi Ling, as soon as her vigorous hand touched her arm, the latter's face turned red.

Chang Qin coughed a few times and asked, "What are your plans? Are you going back to Dashan Village?"

Bai Yulan shook her head, and glanced at her mother-in-law: "My mother-in-law has agreed to let me go, I want to go home and have a look, after being away for so many years, I don't know what is going on with my family now." But Chang Qin understood that she couldn't contact her family several times, and the situation there might not be optimistic.

"Alright." Xi Ling took out a business card, took out all the cash from his wallet, and handed it to Bai Yulan, "If you can't get in touch with your family, you can come to me anytime."

Magnolia took the bright card and the money, and was at a loss for a while.

Xi Ling smiled and continued: "I only have these few thousand yuan in cash with me, you take it first and make do with it. It stands to reason that Liu Youneng's death compensation should be given to you, but some procedures are required, and the payment will not be enough. It will be so fast, that is a lot of money, with that amount of money, if you want to come to our city, food and clothing will not be a problem for the time being, your children still need to continue to see a doctor, the medical facilities in big cities are better than yours Well, when the child is almost recovered from illness, I will find a way to arrange a job for you."

Bai Yulan couldn't help crying again, saying one sentence over and over again: "There are still many good people in this world."

"It's not that there are many good people in this world." Xi Ling replied calmly, "It's that I firmly believe that in this world, evil does not prevail over good."

A group of people first took Bai Yulan back to pick up the son who was temporarily taken care of by Shen's wife, and then sent the four of them to the bus station.

"This child is so cute." Before parting, Xi Ling hugged Bai Yulan's son and laughed for a long time. The child has big black eyes, and his skin is as fair and smooth as his mother, and there are two small dimples when he smiles. Very cute.

"Unexpectedly, Lawyer Xi also likes children." Bai Yulan said with a smile on the side.

"I like it very much." Xi Ling answered without turning his head while teasing the child. Chang Qin's jaw almost dropped to the ground. In his perception, children were second only to Women are the second most annoying creature.

"Okay, it's time for you to get in the car." Xi Ling returned the child to Bai Yulan, and instructed, "Be careful on the road, if you need help, you can come to me at any time."

Bai Yulan looked at him and nodded gratefully.

"By the way, there is something else I need your help with." As he spoke, Xi Ling looked at Chang Qin, who understood, stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Brother Chang, just ask if you have anything to do, I will definitely help you." Bai Yulan said generously.

"About the 'female ghost' in front of the Yuhua Palace gate, can I trouble you and continue to hang up." Chang Qin felt embarrassed to make such a request, and touched his nose.

Bai Yulan looked at him, confused, but Xi Ling smiled and explained: "The villagers are mostly superstitious. Since they already believe that there are ghosts there, naturally they dare not approach it. Keep it, if the village head suddenly insists on demolishing it one day, I will write an open letter and publish it in the newspaper, exposing the village head’s various bad qualities.”

It was only then that Bai Yulan thought of Chang Qin's identity, understood their intentions, and replied embarrassedly: "Thank you for keeping this secret for me. As for the ancient sites, I will definitely do my best to protect them before I leave."

After seeing off the four members of the Liu family, Chang Qin and Xi Ling returned to Lawyer Shen's residence, and Shen Qingmo specially ordered a table of good food and wine at the city's most upscale restaurant as a celebration banquet for the victory of this case.

Chang Qin counted and found that he hadn't had a drink for more than half a month, and couldn't help but praise himself from beginning to end. Xi Ling, who was walking by, gave him a contemptuous look, and Chang Qin was stunned. Trembling, he murmured: "This is your classmate's order not to return drunk. As guests, we naturally have to be disrespectful."

Xi Ling gritted his teeth and said, "You can do whatever you want, don't beg me if you don't want to go back to the hotel." After finishing speaking, regardless of Chang Qin's pale face, he happily went to the table and sat down.

For a meal, the guests gathered and the wine was mixed. Shen Qingmo invited all the colleagues from the office, saying that he wanted everyone to worship Xi Ling, the "famous mouth", so Xi Ling instantly became the object of all the stars. Chang Qin, who thought he would not return drunk, was inexplicably left out.

After the meal, Chang Qin had no choice but to carry the drunken Xi Ling on his back with a sullen face, and went back to the hotel.

He threw Xi Ling on the bed, looked down at this disheveled and unconscious guy, and said angrily to himself: "Well, teach me a lesson, and get drunk yourself." After turning around and going to the bathroom, he took out a hot towel and wiped the other person's body.

He first helped Xi Ling take off his suit jacket, then took off his trousers, put on clean pajamas for him, then lowered his head to unbutton his shirt.

"What are you doing?" A cold voice came from above his head.

Chang Qin was so frightened that he almost tore off a button.

Seeing that Xi Ling woke up at some point, half-opening his eyes and looking at him with a cold face, Chang Qin heaved a sigh of relief and complained, "Lawyer Xi, sooner or later I will be scared into incontinence by you. You are responsible."

"I am defending myself." Xi Ling said righteously.

"Fang..." Chang Qin explained with black lines on his hair, "I see that you must have sweated a lot after being tired all day, so I just wanted to wipe your body and make you feel better when you fell asleep. Good heart, since you are awake, you can wipe it yourself." After speaking, he covered Xi Ling's face with a towel, got up and walked away, but he was pulled back violently as soon as he flew into the air, in a flash, After turning dizzily for a while, he was actually pressed down by the person on the bed.

Chang Qin: "..."

"You, what are you doing?" Chang Qin blushed.

"Why did you react?" Xi Ling stared straight at him, his deep voice rolling in his Adam's apple, his face with distinctive features was close at hand, and the warm breath sprayed on Chang Qin's face, with a slight smell of alcohol.

"What's the reaction?" Chang Qin asked in bewilderment.

But Xi Ling gritted his teeth, his chaotic brain made it difficult for him to utter every word clearly: "When you see a woman, you react. Are you a beast?"

Chang Qin was a little out of breath, and hurriedly pushed him away: "What kind of woman, where is the woman..." Halfway through the speech, he realized what Xi Ling meant, and suddenly laughed, "You mean Magnolia? Haha Haha! How do you remember what happened 800 years ago?"

Seeing his shameless smile, Xi Ling was furious, and his eyes were flushed.

"Please, that's the reaction every normal man would have. You are also a man, don't you understand?" Chang Qin tried hard to recall the situation that day, thinking that he was standing behind Xi Ling, who didn't know what the other party was like, and couldn't help it. It's not easy to continue to refute, so I can only curl my lips and say, "Lawyer Xi, you will know if you have one." Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and curious, and stared at the other party blankly, "You don't have it, do you?"

Xi Ling still didn't speak, just looked at Chang Qin without blinking, his anger seemed to have not dissipated, his chest heaved up and down violently, Chang Qin was puzzled by him, so he pushed him away and wanted to sit up straight, Unexpectedly, the other party had just been pushed away, and immediately moved back.

Chang Qin felt more and more unbelievable. He looked at Xi Ling, as if looking at a monster, completely unaware that the other party was bending down a little bit, and slowly approaching him.

The smell of wine was getting stronger and stronger, and Xi Ling's breathtaking face was getting closer and closer. Chang Qin was like a frosted eggplant. Looking at him, he also looked at Xi Ling, the focus of their eyes was getting closer and closer, almost as close as a cockfight, Chang Qin blinked quickly, and in this gap, his lips were covered by the other two soft lips .

Xi Ling's lips are thin and soft, but in this hot summer, they have a cold touch that is out of place. Chang Qin slowly closed his eyes, wondering whether he should enjoy it or push it away, hesitating When the decision was made, those two lips brushed against the corners of his lips, slid all the way across his face, and landed on his slender neck.

The even breath sprayed on his earlobe, one after another, scratching his heart. Chang Qin turned his head awkwardly, and found that the person lying on him had fallen into a deep sleep at some point.

Chang Qin lay on his back on the soft bed, heaved a long sigh of relief, with mixed emotions in his heart, he didn't know whether he felt lucky or lost.He lay quietly, letting the 1.8-meter boy sleep soundly on his body, and after about 10 minutes, he sat up gently, put him on the bed, and carefully removed his white shirt , simply wiped his body, and helped him change into clean pajamas.

After all this was done, it was almost late at night.

Chang Qin didn't feel sleepy at all, he stood by the bed, carefully looked at Xi Ling's peaceful sleeping face, and inexplicably felt an indescribable jealousy in his heart for his little boyfriend who was far away in the sky and had never met before. What kind of person would be able to obtain this man's undivided affection?I almost betrayed him just now?Chang Qin shook his head hastily. He must have taken too much alcohol to have such absurd thoughts. He got up and walked to the window. The summer in Taiyuan is not hot. The sky is cloudy tonight, and you can’t see it for hundreds of miles. Half a star, the branches outside the window are swaying, the leaves are rustling, it turns out that the wind has already blown,

Chang Qin looked up at the not-too-distant horizon, and a few flashes of lightning flashed vaguely. It seemed that a heavy rain was about to come.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, big raindrops hit the window sill, as if composing a brisk melody, making the room more and more quiet. Chang Qin turned around and looked at Xi Ling who couldn't wake up from thunder on the bed, secretly Complaining: If I had known, I would have drunk more and died here, mother, I am afraid of thunder!

The next day, when Xi Ling woke up from drunkenness, he noticed such a strange phenomenon. The opposite bed was empty, but his own narrow bed was crowded with a tall and burly Chang Qin, who was stretched all over the place. He fell on the ground beside him, not to mention occupying most of the bed, with one foot still resting on his calf.

Xi Ling: "..."

"Wake up!" He pushed the messy Chang Qin who was in a deep sleep.The other party finally opened his eyes under his persistent pushing and rubbing his sleepy eyes. After a short period of absent-mindedness, his consciousness suddenly returned. He suddenly sat up and looked at Xi Ling helplessly, with innocent eyes Like Bambi.

"You explain, why don't you sleep on your own bed?" Xi Ling looked at it and wanted to laugh, so he could only strain his face, and frowned.

"I..." Chang Qin scratched his head in embarrassment, explaining that I was afraid of thunder, so I squeezed with you?Saying this would definitely make him despise him for a year, so he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile, "I was also drunk and went to the wrong bed."

Xi Ling: "..."

Xi Ling pushed him away, and got up from the bed one by one. His feet were pressed all night, and when they touched the ground, they became numb. He gave Chang Qin a supercilious look, and walked into the bathroom grinning.

After a meal of authentic Shanxi knife-sliced ​​noodles at a local noodle shop, Xi Ling wiped his mouth and asked Chang Qin, "Where shall we go next, shall we go home?"

Chang Qin shook his head and said mysteriously, "Let's go somewhere else first."

"Where to go?"

"You have studied history intensively, so you should know about Hangu Pass." Seeing the other party nod, Chang Qin continued, "There are many historical sites left in the area, in addition to Lingyin Wangqi Terrace, Mengchangjun Chicken Crowing Terrace, Laozi Taichu Palace, etc. A holy aunt temple, but compared to the previous ones, this holy aunt temple is much less famous, almost no one knows about it, and it was originally on the verge of demolition, but a few years ago, a shocking rumor suddenly spread about the holy aunt temple. Rumor: It is said that the holy girl who lived here for a long time suddenly felt lonely and needed someone of similar age to move in to accompany her, otherwise she would set fire to the mountain. In the past few years, the village near the temple of the holy girl was caught in fire. The old people who were over [-] years old in their own family were sent to the temple, and only in exchange for a few years of peace, but the strange thing is that as soon as the old people lived in the temple, they all died of sudden illness within a year. Take your life and take the old man to your own world to accompany you."

"I don't hear any random rumors." Xi Ling, who has never believed in ghosts and gods, frowned.

"A few days ago, you were working on a case with Lawyer Shen. I was wandering around by myself and met a local college student. He is from Henan. He lives in Anping County near Shenggu Temple. I saw that he also studied architecture. I chatted with him a few more words, and heard that his grandfather was also sent to the temple a few days ago, and he was worried about this matter because he was busy with his studies and couldn't go back. I planned to visit Hangu Pass, It happens to be a detour to Shenggu Temple to find out, what do you think?"

Xi Ling rested his chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Alright, let's see where the monster is, making trouble there."

The author has something to say:

In reality, Shenggu Temple is located in Hebei, and it was moved to Henan for convenience. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
