Jinyiwei work report

Song Yingbai rode for a while, stopped and waited for Li Zhen, regardless of whether Du Shiniang listened to what he said just now, anyway, he could only help here.

After waiting for a while, I saw Li Zhen chasing after him, "Why did you run away first?"

After Song Yingbai said the few words just now, he felt a little embarrassed, so he ran away quickly, and he said haha: "I'll explore the way first."

It's all the official way, what way are you exploring, Li Zhen glanced at him, okay, if you say to explore the way, just explore the way.

The two continued to move forward, and when it was noon, they got off their horses and rested. They let two horses graze nearby, and they found a big tree, leaning on the trunk to eat dry food.

You don't have to talk when you are running a horse, but now you don't chat when you eat, you will inevitably be embarrassed.

Song Yingbai wondered whether he should tell a joke to ease the atmosphere, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to tell Li Zhen's point of laughter, which would make him even more embarrassed.

Forget it, it's good to eat without talking, sleep without talking, and just eat without talking. As soon as he finished thinking about it, he found that Li Zhen glanced at him from the corner of his eye from time to time while eating.

Song Yingbai has a thick skin and just doesn't raise his head to make eye contact.

Li Zhen wanted to ask him a lot of questions, and now is a good time. He planned to talk about the family first, and then naturally cut into the topic he wanted to ask, but Song Yingbai kept his head down, as if he had no intention of communicating.

If so, don't blame him for being too direct. In fact, beating around the bush is not his style. During interrogation, he always went straight to the point, "Song Yingbai, I want to ask you something, and you answer me truthfully."

Song Yingbai was taking a sip of water, but he didn't dare to swallow Li Zhen's words, so he raised his head and nodded solemnly.

In the end, Li Zhen said, "Are you a broken sleeve?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Song Yingbai almost choked to death with a sip of water. Seeing this, Li Zhen hurried over to pat him on the back, "Does it matter?"

Song Yingbai wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, frowned and replied seriously: "No!" Then he asked dissatisfiedly, "Why do you ask me such a question?"

This belongs to personal privacy, so it is quite offensive to ask directly like this.

"I just think what you just said is very strange, what kind of two-legged man is running all over the street, if it doesn't work, just change it..."

It turned out that Li Zhen was misunderstood by what he said just now, Song Yingbai smiled awkwardly, "Actually, those few words were for Du Shiniang, I think she and Li Jia are not in the same way, and even if the people from Jiaofang redeemed her , whether you can enter Li's house is a problem. If Li Jia does not accept her, I am afraid that she will commit suicide. So I said those few words, hoping that the speaker will have a heart, and the listener will also have a heart. Difficult, think about it."

Li Zhen chuckled, "Unexpectedly, you still want to save Fengchen. Are you interested in Du Shiniang?"

"No, no, I just try my best to mind my own business."

Li Zhen saw that Song Yingbai was not in a hurry when he was questioned. It can be seen that he was indeed open-minded, so he asked another question of his own, "What's the matter with Caifeng who is serving you?"

"He, my uncle gave it to me." Song Yingbai groaned secretly. He seemed to understand why Li Zhen disliked him. He thought he was gay. Strictly speaking, this was discrimination in the workplace, but he had no place. For rights protection, I can only explain as much as possible, "He is a capable servant, cooks delicious food, and is good at embroidery. It is enough for me. As for other things, I don't think much about it."

No wonder Li Zhen changed his face in an instant when he saw Caifeng that day. It turned out that it was his reason, as Caifeng said.

Tsk tsk, it turns out that Li Zhen is a homophobic straight male cancer.

Li Zhen said: "...I blamed you wrongly."

Song Yingbai still had a clear understanding of the current status gap between the two of them, and hurriedly passed the steps to Li Zhen, "It's okay, I understand, I understand, in our line of business, we often go out together. It's awkward, you should have disliked me before."

Hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He misunderstood Song Yingbai, and he was so understanding, "...In short, I didn't do well in this matter, and I won't do it again in the future."

Song Yingbai breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at him and said, "So that's why you didn't like me before. I was wondering why you lost your temper with me for no reason."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly discovered a problem. It seemed that the timing was not right. Li Zhen was hot and cold towards him, as if it started before meeting Caifeng.

If he speculated along the line of thought of the broken sleeve, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out, "...Isn't someone making rumors about the relationship between the two of us? So before meeting Caifeng, you deliberately distanced yourself from it." me for a while."

Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat, Song Yingbai was too smart, and pretended to be calm, "After all, they didn't know that you saved me on the road, and they couldn't think of any other reason why I promoted you, so they could only think this way."

Song Yingbai smiled helplessly, "It's really speechless to spread rumors, but it's hard to refute them."

If this is the case, he understands Li Zhen a little bit. He has a good reputation, but just because he promoted himself, there was a scandal.

Forget it, there is no family background, Li Zhen was born in Jingguo Duke's mansion, so he should cherish his reputation.

Seeing that Song Yingbai was so open-minded, Li Zhen couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought about his previous entanglements, especially at being mediocre, "Later I calmed down and thought this matter was actually quite ridiculous. We are friends, and I treat you differently from others." Likewise, it makes sense."

Song Yingbai raised his eyebrows secretly, you think we can be friends because you heard the news that I was adopted by the Minister of the Household Department.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zhen moved closer to him, wrapped his arms around his neck, and asked half-jokingly, "Are we friends?"

"Yes yes yes." Song Yingbai also said in a joking tone: "If you strangle me to death, you will lose a friend."

Li Zhen let him go and felt relieved. All the stones that had been pressing on her heart were lifted away. It was indescribably easy, so she was also in the mood to chat with Song Yingbai, "By the way, you just said that Caifeng is your uncle. It was given to you, why did your uncle give you a servant?"

Song Yingbai unscrewed the water bag, raised his head to drink water, and said casually: "Probably because he wants to bring father and son closer."

Li Zhen couldn't understand, "Isn't he your uncle, how do you say to bring father and son closer?"

"Because I was adopted to him." Song Yingbai blinked, "Don't you know?"

Li Zhen scolded Chu Qiu secretly, Song Yingbai's adoption was not a trivial matter, why didn't he report it to himself? !

He shook his head and said he didn't know.

Song Yingbai was surprised, and said helplessly: "Just a few days ago, my elder brother came to me suddenly, and brought me an uncle whom I had never seen before, and told me that I was adopted as his son."

"Hiding it to you?" Li Zhen said in his heart, what kind of father is this, he is as bad as his missing father.

Song Yingbai said coldly: "Maybe it's for me. After all, my uncle is the servant of the household department. If I adopt him, I won't suffer."

Li Zhen suddenly realized: "Your uncle is Song Yuye, right? It turns out that you are not only a simple surname, but also real relatives."

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't seem to be pretending, and he didn't need to pretend, Song Yingbai said heartily, didn't he really know that he was adopted and wanted to be friends with him, not because he was the son of the servant of the household department, but real.

Li Zhen bit her lip slightly, and thought about it carefully. Could it be that Song Yingbai's drunken stomach was not only because of the son-in-law, but also because of the adoption?

He sighed softly, put his arms on Song Yingbai's shoulders, and comforted him: "If you think about it from another angle, you can treat it as if you have two fathers. Isn't that good?"

Song Yingbai had already guessed that Li Zhen had no father or mother, so he couldn't be hypocritical in front of him, "You're right. I've already figured it out, and I won't be entangled anymore."

Li Zhen nodded at him, "That's right! No matter what happens in the future, if you feel that you are suffering alone, just tell me, are we friends? Naturally, we have to share our worries."

Song Yingbai raised his eyes and was facing Li Zhen's eyes. His eyes were lighter than ordinary people's, showing a light brown color, clear and transparent. Coupled with his sincere eyes, Song Yingbai couldn't help feeling again, when Li Zhen was not convulsed , People are really nice.

Song Yingbai thought to himself, since Li Zhen took the initiative to show affection to him, he couldn't disappoint: "I will, but when the time comes, don't think I'm annoying."

After hearing this, Li Zhen felt extremely satisfied, and it felt good to have friends.

Both of them felt that their knots had been untied, and they were both in a good mood, so they finished the rest of the dry food.

Li Zhen stood up first, and stretched out his hand to Song Yingbai, "Let's go, we can reach our destination tonight."

Song Yingbai grabbed Li Zhen's hand and asked him to pull himself up, "Let's go to whose cemetery first, although they are not far from each other, let's decide to check one of them first."

"To the Li family." Li Zhen said: "I think the theft of Feng Shui is likely to be true, so the Li family may be more worth investigating than the Zhai family's tomb itself."

"I think so too." Song Yingbai said: "The Raksha bird's eyes are the weak point, so let's attack the eyes."

Li Zhen paused and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have a solution."

The two got on their horses, and this time they didn't stop, and rushed to the destination - the cemetery in one breath.

This is a gathering place of cemeteries, there are many tombstones, and the graves are lined up one by one. With the night, it looks a bit creepy, but it's just a bit.

Both of them had seen strong winds and waves, so they blew on the torches in their hands, led the horses, bent over, and took the surnames on the graves one by one.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu in front of their horses. .

The woman was kneeling on her side, her dark and thick long hair hanging on the ground, covering her face.

A slender and pale hand ran through the black hair and slowly combed it.

In the cemetery at night, I saw a woman combing her hair silently. The picture was a bit exciting, but Song Yingbai had also seen big scenes, and Li Zhen was by his side, so he stabilized his mind and approached her steadily.

"You two officials, don't come any closer." The woman said quietly, "You guys have too much evil spirit, if you come any closer, I'm afraid you'll scatter me."

Li Zhen looked up at the sky, the bright moon hung high on the treetops, the breeze blew by, blowing a strand of the woman's hair, she gently brushed her hair back, revealing her bright red lips.

"You admit that you are an evil thing?" Li Zhen said coldly.

"Evil thing?" The woman giggled, "Then let me ask the two officials, do you know about nine generations of washing women? It's just because the ancestors were buried in a place where 'fairies bare their skin' on Feng Shui, and this place is only If you want to protect your daughter but not your son, if you want to crack it, you have to kill all the daughters born in the next nine generations. Haha, am I an evil thing, or is the person who did such a brutal act of killing his own daughter an evil thing?"

Song Yingbai held the Xiuchun knife tightly, ready to attack at any time, "Is this how you were killed?"

"Yes, not only me, but also countless poor daughters like me..."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned her body and brushed her long hair away with both hands, and saw many eyeballs appearing in the long hair, densely packed, each staring at them.

And the woman raised her head and smiled sinisterly. At this time, her hair suddenly turned into countless black birds, and flew out. Wandering around the moon.

The last time Song Yingbai encountered one, it was already very difficult to deal with. What should I do if there are so many? Fight hard?

But looking at Li Zhen's appearance, it seemed that he had a way.

The blackbird landed on the branch and on the tombstone, staring straight at them with a pair of round eyes.

Li Zhen looked up and said loudly: "You are indeed Raksha birds, but I am not here to destroy you, I am here to negotiate. Who among you knows the daughter of the Zhai family?"

Song Yingbai found that these Raksha birds did not intend to attack them. Thinking about it, he was attacked last time because he prevented the Raksha birds from attacking the little sister. In fact, the Raksha birds never targeted outsiders.

He calmed down a little bit, but it was very strange, what did Li Zhen want to talk about, promised to build an ancestral hall for the daughter of the Zhai family, save her soul from the dead, and let her spare the son-in-law?

Among the black birds all over the sky, one suddenly landed in front of them, flapping its wings, "What do you want to talk about?"

Li Zhen said: "On the way here, I met someone from the Li family. He said that the Zhai family had stolen the Feng Shui of the Li family. As far as I know, there is a kind of sorcery that can steal the Feng Shui of other people's houses. But if you want the sorcery to work, you have to bury your own relatives in the tomb of the other party's family.

So I suspect that there should be a daughter of the Zhai family who was killed and buried in the Li family's cemetery as the key to sorcery.But this baby girl was not reconciled, and her resentment was smoldering, but because the tomb was solid, it couldn't get out. Finally, a small earthquake happened here last month, which cracked the tomb, and it was born out of nowhere, and the resentment turned into a Rakshasa bird. "

Song Yingbai looked at Li Zhen, and said to himself that you know so much, but you don't tell me, but you have the leisure to ask me about the broken sleeve, you are really good at it.

This black bird's sharp claws like silver hooks scratched the ground vigorously, and said angrily: "That's right! It's been hundreds of years! I still remember the scene of being drowned by my father, and I still remember the pain of being buried alone in the Li family's cemetery ! I remember it all! Why can’t I destroy the wealth that I bought with my blood?!”

At this time, the other blackbirds on the branches cooed and laughed, and echoed together, "Destroy, destroy, what we can't enjoy, neither can others."

Song Yingbai thought for a while, and said his own thoughts, "So you want to scare the prospective son-in-law, right? I guess you might want to show up once a month, make him suspicious, make him miserable, and finally..." If he is A raksha bird full of resentment, what would he do? After a little substitution, he came to a conclusion: "Do you want to peck his eyes away on the day of your wedding?"

He looked at Li Zhen in surprise, and found that he had a calm face. He should have guessed it a long time ago.

Seeing that the plan was exposed, Raksha Bird was stunned for a moment, then smiled strangely in a desperate tone: "Yeah, hahahaha, come and stop me, you are from the imperial court, let's see if you can hug the son-in-law s eyes?"

Strictly speaking, with the power of the whole country, it should be possible to keep the concubine on the wedding day, but what about after marriage?

You can't guard against death every day, if something goes wrong, the son-in-law will become blind, and the princess will be the unlucky one.

Song Yingbai looked at Li Zhen. He was the emperor's cousin, and he and Princess Yongjia were cousins. From the perspective of relatives, he probably didn't want the princess to marry a blind man.

I knew that Li Zhen took the initiative to take care of the Raksha bird's case not only for him.

Sure enough, I heard Li Zhen say: "But if you pecked Zhai Yong's eyes blind on the day of your wedding, since he has paid homage to the court, then he is a son-in-law, and he will enjoy the salary and treatment of a son-in-law for the rest of his life."

"I don't care! I want his eyes—" Blackbird cried.

The blackbirds around shouted together: "I want his eyes! I want him to be blind!"

Song Yingbai realized that Li Zhen deserved to be an official, and he was very powerful. He waved his hand calmly in the face of danger, signaling the surroundings to be quiet, and continued: "He is blind, and he is also a son-in-law. Maybe the emperor pities their husband and wife and gives him more money." Fields, let them live a richer life, although their eyes can no longer see, but their mouths can eat, their ears can hear, and their status is still there, so they will live a good life. And if they are blind, they will not delay their childbirth."

Blackbird was so angry that he kept scratching his paws on the ground, "I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

"I have an idea, what do you think." Li Zhen then confessed his idea.

Hearing this, Song Yingbai was stunned for a while, bad, ah, no, high, once this idea came out, it was a win-win for all.

Hearing Li Zhen's suggestion, the black bird spread its wings and flew up the branch without saying a word, and suddenly turned into a hundred or so little black birds. Then these birds split again and turned into hundreds of thousands of black birds. Only small and dense mosquitoes.

And the other Rakshasa birds also spread their wings and flew high, and in the blink of an eye, there were not even one left.

Li Zhen said: "Let's go back too, things are going well, and it should listen to me."

Song Yingbai nodded slowly, "Well, let's go."

-

At night, with the moon hanging over the treetops, Zhai Yong slept deeply.

Suddenly, he felt a severe pain in his arm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a black bird that almost merged with the night appeared above his head.

Two sharp claws clasped his arm firmly, he wanted to scream, but couldn't.

He looked into Blackbird's eyes, which were full of resentment, and he was terrified, with only one thought, that he was finished.

Suddenly, the bird's head began to melt like drops of wax, dripping down his face.

He shook his head in fright, and at the same time, he smelled a stench.

It was blood, the bird had melted into dirty blood, and it was dripping on his face, and he felt a gust of fishy heat, falling on his face and flowing into his eyes.

"Ah—" he yelled and sat up.

Suddenly, he realized that the sky was bright and it was already morning. He was still in shock and wiped his sweat, only to find that his sleeve was stained with blood.

Was it not a dream? He jumped out of bed and came to the full-length mirror facing the bed.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he was stiff all over, "This, this is not true... no..."

"Master, you're awake." The servant girl walked in with a smile, "Why don't you wear shoes, the ground is so cold."

At this time, Zhai Yong turned his head and looked at the servant girl, who was about to fall to the ground in fright, "Young master, your eyes..."

Zhai Yong's eyes were scarlet, like two pools of thick blood.

-

Li Zhen got off his horse in front of Cheng Enhou's mansion, and strode up the stone steps sullenly, followed by Song Yingbai in dark blue flying fish suit.

He went straight to the courtyard where Zhai Yong was, and just in time for the imperial physician to come out for consultation.

Li Zhen kept the imperial physician behind him, and asked in the corridor, "How is Mr. Zhai?"

"In the words of Mr. Li, Mr. Zhai's eyes are red, but it's not like ordinary red eyes. Usually only the whites of the eyes are red, but his pupils are all red. It's too scary. I've never seen such a thing before." The imperial physician sighed Said: "Besides, Mr. Zhai has always said that a strange bird killed him. I'm afraid his sanity is not very good. It seems that his eyes suddenly fell ill and he couldn't accept the reality, so he was stimulated and even delusional."

"I see." Li Zhen said.

The imperial physician bowed to him and left, but at this time the sound of the Zhai family crying and shouting came from the house.

Crying is inevitable, the eyes are as red as monsters, the son-in-law will definitely not be able to do it.

Li Zhen stood with his hands in the corridor, looked at the Jinyiwei school captains who lined up, and announced loudly: "Come here today, tomorrow you will continue to work in the Jinyiwei Yamen, and you don't need to come here again. Okay, Cheng Dongyi, you will all be here." Take it down."

The prospective son-in-law got a strange disease, and the marriage fell through, so there was no need to protect him anymore.

As soon as Cheng Dong got the order, he took the school captains and evacuated Cheng Enhou's mansion.

When the people were almost gone, Song Yingbai came up, glanced at the room, and then whispered to Li Zhen: "The emperor wants us to withdraw the team?"

"Eunuch Lu came here before and told the emperor about Mr. Zhai's situation." Li Zhen said lightly: "The emperor is already considering choosing another son-in-law. Mr. Zhai has a strange disease that cannot be cured. If it is passed to the princess And children, absolutely not."

Song Yingbai said heartily, isn't this the reason why you persuaded the Raksha bird to peck Zhai Yong blindly on the day of the wedding, the son-in-law is still the son-in-law, if you want him to suffer, it is best to do it in advance so that he loses his status as a son-in-law.

Moreover, the son-in-law's eyes turned red, although he could see with his eyes, all he saw was the ridicule and ridicule of the world.

Not only falling from the position of son-in-law, but also being laughed at by spectators, is far more painful than being blind and winning the sympathy of others.

Afraid of hereditary eye disease, I am afraid that there is no good family's daughter to be his wife. He is the only one in Zhai's family, and he may have no children and grandchildren.

Luocha Niao wanted to see the people of Zhai's family suffering, so he naturally chose the most hating way.

But for Song Yingbai, the son-in-law's natural illness has nothing to do with them at all, so don't be afraid of being accused.

For Princess Yongjia, she didn't need to be a blind man's wife and escaped unharmed.

He seriously suspected that Princess Yongjia had met Zhai Yong in private, and was very dissatisfied with his son-in-law's New Year's picture-like appearance, so he secretly begged the emperor's elder brother, and the emperor sent Li Zhen to handle this matter, how could he not offend the empress dowager and On the basis of the queen mother, the marriage was ruined.

Luo Shaniao, Jin Yiwei and Princess Yongjia were all satisfied with Li Zhenlai's move.

As for Zhai Yong, who would have lost his eyes, at least he kept his eyesight. As for whether anyone would be willing to be his wife for the rest of his life, that's another matter.

Before, when Li Zhen dealt with little Zhuge, he knew that this guy was despicable and black-bellied, and it really didn't change at all.

Song Yingbai didn't know whether he should be thankful, at least when Li Zhen couldn't understand him, he chose to put his emotions on his face instead of dealing with him secretly.

He sighed in his heart, he really thought that there would be a big fight that night, and defeated the Raksha bird that troubled Zhai Yong, but he didn't expect that it would be settled through negotiation in the end.

Think about it too, isn't that what being an official is like, how to use the simplest method to solve the biggest problem, or how to do what can achieve the greatest benefit, then do it.

Li Zhen still had a lot to learn.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Zhen put an arm on his shoulder, and walked out of the courtyard with him shoulder to shoulder: "Now that the matter is settled, you don't have to worry about being questioned for lack of protection."

"Thank you." Anyway, Li Zhen did solve the problem.

"I told you that we are friends, so thank you."

At this time, Han Rong hurried in with a group of people from the outside. When he saw Li Zhen and Song Yingbai, he couldn't help being taken aback, wondering when did these two become so close?

Li Zhen instinctively froze and wanted to let go of Song Yingbai, but then he thought about it, he was not afraid of the shadow slanting, what was he afraid of, there was no need to feel guilty.

They are frank.

So he straightened his waist and held Song Yingbai even tighter.
