Jinyiwei work report

"You want me to eat it?"

Zhuo Mingquan kept nodding his head, and raised his hand towards Song Yingbai, signaling to swallow the Lingzhu.

Song Yingbai really lost his temper after being tortured by him, and sighed, "You just can't speak, but you can still understand human language. No matter what you are, I don't know how to eat it. There is no possibility for us! If you pester me, I will make fish soup for you!"

Zhuo Mingquan pointed to himself, then to Song Yingbai, and then made a gesture of hugging a baby.

Song Yingbai understood, it seemed that he and Zhuo Mingquan had a child, "Stop being crazy, go home and study."

Zhuo Mingquan held the Lingzhu without moving.

Song Yingbai had no choice but to say: "It's useless for you to pester me forever, you can't pry the corner of the wall! How should I put it, I and my... have a good relationship, a deep friendship, and have experienced many things together. Mine, I'm really not interested, I don't even know how to look at it."

In fact, he is not lying. What he and Li Zhen have experienced, I am afraid that he will never find another person who can replace him in this life.

Zhuo Mingquan frowned.

Seeing the effect, Song Yingbai continued: "Look at you, apart from being pretty, there are other advantages. I'm not discriminating against fish, but even if you are interracial, you have to love each other sincerely. Those who can accompany me hand in hand, It must be a soul mate. Forget it, you have never heard of the word soul mate, in simple terms, you have to get out of your mind."

Zhuo Mingquan tilted his head to look at him.

Song Yingbai felt that what he said was good, and raised his eyebrows, "So, do you understand?"

Zhuo Mingquan pursed his lips and couldn't help saying: "You can't reproduce."

Song Yingbai's ears hurt, she shrank her neck, then covered her ears, and said angrily: "Shut up! Can't you?"

But Zhuo Mingquan nodded vigorously, walked over, and gave Song Yingbai the beads in his hand.

Song Yingbai was originally disgusted to see him clinging, and because of what he said just now, he was so angry that he raised his hand and knocked over the Lingzhu, and ran away.

After Song Yingbai left, Zhuo Mingquan bent down to pick up the Lingzhu, and blew it distressedly.

Song Yingbai really couldn't take it anymore. When he finished his work, when he came home to see Li Zhen at night, he said angrily, "You must take care of Zhuo Mingquan! He came to me again today!"

"He hasn't given up yet?" Li Zhen looked at Song Yingbai's jumping feet and thought to himself, the tighter the pressure, the farther Song Yingbai ran.

If he played this game himself, Song Yingbai might really go to Qiongzhou.

"No!" Song Yingbai sat down and put his hands on his forehead, "I'm really going to have a psychological shadow." Finally, I know why the stalker is hateful.

"Well, I'll go with you to the magistrate's yamen tomorrow, talk to his sister and brother-in-law, and tell them to take good care of Zhuo Mingquan."

"I told you, it doesn't work."

Li Zhen said lightly: "I'll say it again, maybe it will work."

Song Yingbai gave up hope.

As a result, Li Zhen took him to the magistrate's yamen the next day and mentioned Zhuo Mingquan's "harm". , must send him back to his hometown in Zhenjiang."

Their attitude was not a little better than when Song Yingbai came to "complain" last time. Last time, their tone was mostly teasing, and they didn't take it seriously at all. They even asked him to be friends with Zhuo Mingquan.

But when Li Zhenlai said it, Zhuo Mingquan's brother-in-law, the magistrate, immediately made a guarantee in fear.

Song Yingbai understood after a little thought. In fact, isn't it obvious that Li Zhen is a fellow acquaintance from the capital, with a high position and authority. If he collects some of his "secret affairs" to report to the emperor, he will have to go around.

It's so realistic.

But this time, the magistrate seems to be serious, as long as Zhuo Mingquan bothers him again, he will definitely be sent back to his hometown. It is estimated that Zhuo Mingquan will be able to calm down under the warning.

After Song Yingbai and Li Zhen "warned" and were about to leave, a servant hurried out and said to them, "May I ask you who is Song Qianhu? We, Master Zhuo, have a letter for you." Leave it to you."

Song Yingbai thought to himself, why is this? Even the love letter was written on it, "Forget it."

"The young master has ordered, if you don't read it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Song Yingbai was afraid that Zhuo Mingquan would write something like "scheduled" suicide in the letter, so he didn't read it, and didn't find out in time. When Zhuo Mingquan died, he would put the letter on his head and said, "Go back."

Li Zhen said disdainfully: "I don't know what he wrote, whether you can read it or not. It's probably not a sentence."

"Go back and see if you don't know."

Back at the residence, Li Zhen sat down opposite Song Yingbai, watched him open the envelope, shook out the letter and read it silently.

To be honest, he didn't care. Obviously, Song Yingbai only hated Zhuo Mingquan now, unlike Xie Zhongyu, who still approached him as a friend. Zhuo Mingquan had no advantage over Song Yingbai at all.

Apart from being pretty, Song Yingbai obviously didn't like his effeminate guy.

Li Zhen thought confidently, at this moment, after Song Yingbai finished reading it, he was silent for a moment, picked up the letter again, and read it again.

Li Zhen was a little restless, and usually only read the news that he cared about. If he didn't take the other party seriously, he could read it again and just throw it away.

He couldn't help asking: "...what's the matter?"

Song Yingbai bit her lip, with a complicated expression, "...um...do you know that there is actually a spirit bead in the shark's body?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "Fu Tianqiu would pay tribute to a mermaid scale he picked up at the seashore. In reality, no one has actually seen a mermaid. He only knows a little about them from ancient books and other people's sightings. It's very mysterious. , but very few. Zhuo Mingquan must be protected by relatives, otherwise he would have been arrested."

Song Yingbai smiled and said, "You are quite kind. You never thought of revealing Zhuo Mingquan's identity to claim credit. Or track down his mother's situation and profit from it."

Seeing that she was being praised, Li Zhen smiled and said, "I'm so good in your heart."

Song Yingbai couldn't help but joked: "That's right, you were not merciless when you cheated on me before, so I was a little surprised to see that you didn't fix Zhuo Mingquan."

Li Zhen and Song Yingbai had nothing to hide, and said truthfully: "There are probably three reasons. First, I don't need to contribute these things. I can be promoted by flattery. Second, I probably have a little bit of empathy. Zhuo Mingquan If you have something similar to me, you should treat it as a thing that hurts its own kind. Third, since the mermaids can live in the sea for thousands of years without being captured and exterminated by humans, they must have their own abilities, and they are not so easy to mess with. Blind capture , but bring disaster."

Seeing that Li Zhen was so honest with him, Song Yingbai was really unreserved and a little moved, so he said equally frankly: "Zhuo Mingquan said in the letter that he has a spirit bead, as long as I eat it, I will be his unique spouse. Then you can change your gender for me, become a woman, and bear children for me."

"Show me!" Li Zhen was afraid that Song Yingbai would make a mistake, so he borrowed the letter and read every word.

Zhuo Mingquan's writing skills are not bad, and the content of the letter is written very smoothly.

It probably means that he has an innate spirit bead, as long as Song Yingbai eats it, they will form a pair, he can adjust his body for him, become a woman, and reproduce together.By the way, he stepped on Li Zhen, saying that Song Yingbai had a good relationship with the man from the capital, but it didn't work out, he is a pure man, and you two won't have children.

"Do you believe it?" Li Zhen questioned.

"Yesterday he did spit out a bead and wanted me to swallow it, but I refused. I didn't expect it to be for this purpose." Song Yingbai imagined, "Merman is so amazing, Zhuo Mingquan must be a beautiful woman if he turns into a woman, You can still cry into tears, if you really marry her..."

Li Zhen snapped his fingers in front of him, "Don't think about it, he is the son of the Zhuo family now, and he suddenly turned into a woman, what happened."

"I'm afraid we can only accept the facts. Let's say that Zhuo Mingquan disguised himself as a man to go out to study, and now he has returned to his daughter's body. Hua Mulan and Zhu Yingtai all do this." Song Yingbai laughed.

"I see that you seem to be moved?"

"If it were you, wouldn't you be tempted? How suitable for marriage!" Song Yingbai looked up at the roof, beautiful, rich and family.

"Don't be moved." Li Zhen said firmly.

"why?"

"Don't dare, you are not afraid of swallowing the beads. It is not he who becomes a woman, but you?"

Li Zhen's words brought Song Yingbai back to reality, wishing to hold his "little heart" tightly, "Would you? I think Zhuo Mingquan is straightforward, he doesn't seem to be able to deceive people."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Can you take this risk? Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Song Yingbai frowned, unable to speak for a while.

He got up and went to the desk to grind the ink, "I will refuse him now, tell him that I will not swallow beads, and I will not allow another person to change my gender for me."

Li Zhen chuckled a few times, the solution was much easier than imagined.

Song Yingbai said while writing: "Actually, just now, I just imagined, even if he really wants to become a woman for me, I should refuse."

"why?"

Song Yingbai looked out of the window, and there were layers of dark clouds floating in the sky, blocking the sunlight, and he said with a lonely expression: "Because I can't bear such a big responsibility, even if he is a mermaid, he has his own life trajectory, just for me , Life has changed, then I will be responsible for him in the future, it is too heavy, I can't afford it."

"So, that's why you got married?" Li Zhen guessed in a low voice. The relationship between him and Song Yingbai has indeed become closer. He didn't seem to know these things to himself before.

"A large part of it. If I get married, if something goes wrong and I kick my legs to death, how pitiful it is to leave the other party alone."

Li Zhen whispered: "If you think like this, you will live a very tiring life. Sometimes, people don't ask for anything in return. You don't have to always think about who is responsible for you. You just think about yourself."

"If Zhuo Mingquan was a woman from the beginning and pursued me like this, I might not agree. Because the more enthusiastic the other party is, the more pressure I will feel, and I always feel that I owe the other party."

Li Zhen chuckled, "I can see that you will repay anyone who treats you well, and you will never owe money. Your temperament is suitable for lending money in a silver house."

Song Yingbai was amused, "It makes sense, I may have entered the wrong line of work, if I don't talk about it, if I talk about it, I'll be too mother-in-law."

"No, I'm glad you told me this." Li Zhenwen smiled and said, "It means you trust me." Ken opened up to me.

Song Yingbai smiled back at him, nodded silently, and then continued to write letters with his head down.

-

Before dinner, Zhuo Mingquan received a letter from Song Yingbai.

In the letter, Song Yingbai's wording was much gentler, and he didn't scold him to get out like when he was face to face.But the attitude of refusal was firm, saying that he would not swallow the beads, and would not let Zhuo Mingquan change for himself.

I hope he will continue to search and find the other half that suits him.

Zhuo Mingquan leaned on the table, his shoulders twitched slightly, and soon, a drop of beads fell on his feet with a loud sound.

Why, why is it so difficult for him to find someone of the same kind who can live together?

It's not easy to meet one, no matter he is what he is now or becomes a woman, the other party does not accept him.

He didn't eat supper and shut himself in his room.

"Mingquan, listen to me, your brother-in-law is angry, and I told you not to go to Song Qianhu, his boss came to our house for him. Isn't it good for you to be friends with others? I think Lin Luna The child is good, and it is close to you."

Outside the door, his sister tried to persuade him.

Zhuo Mingquan was even more annoyed when he heard that, he lay on the bed and pulled the quilt over his head.

"You have to be obedient, otherwise, your brother-in-law will really send you back to your hometown. You don't want to go back either, okay, good boy, let's eat, it's still hot." Zhuo Mingquan's sister said helplessly when she saw no reply from her brother : "Okay, I'm leaving. Don't starve yourself. If you don't want to eat, you can just have some snacks and fruits. They will be left at the door for you."

The more Zhuo Mingquan thought about it, the more sad he felt, he couldn't help but rubbed his eyes to stop the tears from falling.

Suddenly, he felt something and sat up abruptly.

Zhuo Mingquan was startled, opened the door, and ran out without hesitation.

-

After serving his wife, Yu Xiang hurried back to his room and hid directly under the quilt.

The other three maids who lived in the same room, seeing her like this, sat up and patted her, "Yu Xiang, why are you shaking like this? Are you sick?"

Yu Xiang was trembling all over, and her voice was out of tune, "He's coming, he's coming..."

"Who's here?" One of the maids, Chunxiao, knelt on the kang and lifted the quilt covering her head, "What's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Yuxiang's face was flushed, he didn't seem to be cold at all, but was burning hot all over.

"I...I...I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." Suddenly she grabbed the arm of one of the maids, Qiuhua, and said with tears in her eyes, "I shouldn't have run away, why did I run away?"

"What's wrong with her?" The maids whispered, "Is she hysterical?"

At this time, a big servant girl in charge came in, put her hands on her hips and said, "Everyone else is asleep in other rooms, why is this room making all the noise?"

"Sister, Yuxiang seems to have a fever, and he is confused and talking nonsense."

The big servant girl looked at Yu Xiang and saw her lying on the kang, she had no other reaction except murmured in despair, so she said: "Didn't you see that it's getting dark, you have to ask the doctor tomorrow, don't quarrel , go to sleep!"

Walking up to Yuxiang, he touched her forehead, and it was really hot, "Come with me, go to the well and get some cold water to apply. Chunxiao, you come too."

Chunxiao responded, and helped Yuxiang, whose legs were weak, to go out.

Yu Xiang looked around desperately, and suddenly, she saw a shadow flashing in front of her, she was so frightened that she pushed away the people beside her, turned around and ran into the house, fastened the latch on the door, jumped onto the kang, and got into the house. into the quilt.

Chun Xiao was so angry that she knocked on the door outside, "What are you doing, why did you shut us out, open the door quickly!"

At this time, the other two maids in the room saw this, and one of them complained to Yuxiang, got up and opened the door.

Suddenly, they found that the person outside the door stopped knocking, and the voice seemed to stop abruptly, so they opened the door curiously, "Why... um!"

A tall figure appeared in front of her. Before she could see it clearly, her body was thrown away, fell to the wall, and slid as she sat, leaving a bloodstain on the wall.

Qiuhua, another maid in the room, screamed when she saw the person coming.

It's a pity that at this moment, there was a thunderstorm, which drowned out her screams. Then, she was attacked by someone who came, and she fell down on the bed, with a ball of blood oozing from her heart.

Yu Xiang hid in the quilt, and saw Qiuhua lying not far away from the gap in the quilt, eyes closed, staring at her blankly.

She was shaking like chaff, and closed her eyes in pain. When she opened them again, the gap was filled with the face that would appear in her nightmare.

"Don't...Aija, don't kill me...don't...please..."

She recognized him, yeah, how could she forget...

Ai Jia pulled her out of the quilt, stroked her cheek affectionately, tilted his head to look at her, as curious as when he saw her for the first time.

"Please...I...I'll go back to the island with you...to the place where we used to live..." She couldn't make a sound, begging for mercy over and over again vaguely.

Seeing him staring at her, he suddenly smiled.

She thought she had a chance, and forced a smile.

The next moment, she just felt a pain in her heart and spit out a mouthful of blood. Through the tears, she saw that he was holding a bead in his bloody hand, which was exactly the one he asked her to swallow.

The moment the Lingzhu came into contact with the air, it turned into powder, and disappeared as it drifted away.

There was a little tear in the corner of his eye, but he held back it from slipping down.

With one last look, Yu Xiang saw him reverted into a mermaid, biting her...

-

It was raining heavily, and Zhuo Mingquan saw a tall figure in the rain line.

He froze in place, so excited that he didn't know how to greet him.

--Who are you?

Someone was talking in his head.

Zhuo Mingquan was startled, and found that the other party was talking to him telepathically.

Self-taught, he replied excitedly: I should be the same as you, I feel you.

A special way of communication between merman and merman.

——I also feel you, but you should be the offspring of mermaids and humans.

Zhuo Mingquan nodded: Just like you, you have legs, and so do I.

——I am a pure merman, only on stormy nights, for two hours, I can completely transform into a human.You can stay in human form forever, right?

Zhuo Mingquan thought he had found the same kind again, but unfortunately, the other party should be a pure mermaid after choosing a gender, and he can only maintain his human form for two hours, so he can't go shopping with him.

He was extremely disappointed, thinking he had found someone who could accompany him, but it turned out he was not.

--Is it right?Why don't you answer?I could have had a offspring like yours, but she ruined it all!

Aija roared angrily.

Zhuo Mingquan was startled, he just felt the presence of the other party and came to see him, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly lose control of his temper.

It seems that his mother told him that the real mermaids have a bad temper, and it is true that they should be cautious when dealing with them.

He was also rejected by Song Yingbai, and he wanted to find someone to accompany him so much, so he ran over rashly as soon as he felt the existence of the same kind.

He regretted it a little.

Zhuo Mingquan backed away, turned around and ran, but the opponent was stronger than him in terms of explosive power and physical strength, grabbed his collar and threw him to the ground.

Then he stepped on his stomach with one foot and dodged hard. With a mouthful of blood gushing out, his Lingzhu spit out from his mouth.

The other party bent down to pick up his spirit bead and held it in his hand.

He had just killed his lover with his own hands, hated all happiness, and anyone who could achieve happiness.

—You haven’t chosen a spouse yet, have you?Haha, don't even think about it in this life.

Zhuo Mingquan saw that the other party had put his spirit beads into his ears, and turned to leave.

He immediately hugged the opponent's leg: Give it back to me!

As a mature merman, Aija can easily deal with an immature half-merman.

He kicked Zhuo Mingquan away, then picked him up, and slammed his face into the rock beside the road. The rock shattered in response, and Zhuo Mingquan also received a huge impact, lying on the ground moaning in pain.

Suddenly, there was a dog barking behind him. Aijia turned around and saw a group of people leading dogs chasing him in the heavy rain.

——If you want to return to the Lingzhu, come to Diren Island.

Throwing these words to Zhuo Mingquan, he jumped into the river next to him, instantly regained his human body and fish tail appearance, dived into the water, and swam towards the sea.

Zhuo Mingquan struggled to stand up and wanted to chase after him, but his ribs from being kicked just now felt faint pain.

At this time, the chasing crowd found Zhuo Mingquan, and one of them recognized him, "Isn't this Young Master Zhuo?"

"It's not good, Master Zhuo was injured by the gangsters, help him up quickly."

Zhuo Mingquan bit his lip, he remembered his last words.

——If you want to return to the Lingzhu, come to Diren Island.

-

Song Yingbai's leader dug out more than a dozen hand-copied demon books from the temporary residence of a wandering monk.

It's ridiculous to say that it was his so-called apprentice who reported it, because his apprentice felt that the master's annotations to the language in the book should be revised according to his opinion.

The two disagreed and started fighting, so the apprentice reported on the master in a rage.

Then, the two were arrested together.

Take the prisoner back to the yamen together with the demon book, and show it to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen flipped open one of them casually, and smiled at him, "I only saw this book in Beijing a few years ago. It was only a thin volume at the beginning. I haven't seen it for a few years, but now it's so thick. Let me Let's see, what evil words have been added by this group of people."

This kind of hand-copied book is often mistakenly copied and modified. A thin book of prophecy has been circulated in the market for several years, and finally it becomes unknown to the original creator.

Song Yingbai also picked up a book to read: "What's so good about this kind of nonsense book?"

Li Zhen raised her eyes and smiled at him.

At this time, a school lieutenant came in after reporting, and said urgently: "No, Lord Li, Lord Du said something terrible happened to Bai Shangshu's house, so you must go there."

Li Zhen said: "Understood." Standing up, he said to Song Yingbai: "Let's go and have a look together."

Song Yingbai thought to himself, don't do any more strange events.

As a loser in the battle, Bai Shangshu was sent to the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing as a minister, and he waited to retire to his hometown after a certain age.

Fortunately, after the previous family fortune, he was able to survive in the Qingshui Yamen in Nanjing.

However, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a minister.Something happened in his house, shaking the whole city.

When Li Zhen and Song Yingbai arrived, people from the yamen and Jin Yiwei were already in charge of guarding.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Du Tongzhi greeted them, grinning and shaking his head, said: "It's too tragic, four servant girls died, this one has a corpse, and the other one doesn't."

Li Zhen and Song Yingbai walked to a room in the backyard, and before entering the door, they smelled a bloody smell.

Song Yingbai walked in and saw that there were four corpses of servant girls neatly arranged in the room, some with broken necks and some with their brains burst, it was too horrible to look at.

Is this... the work of the Chou family, or the work of Jiang Yang's bandits?

Since they are invited, it will definitely not be so simple.

Du Tongzhi whispered: "Of these four, two died outside the door, two died inside the house, and one...should have been eaten." After finishing speaking, he looked at a bed.

Song Yingbai saw that the quilt on a bed was completely stained red with blood, which showed a large amount of bleeding. The most terrifying thing was that there were a few teeth and nails scattered on Linxing.

He frowned, ogre?

Du Tongzhi lowered his voice and said to Li Zhen: "...According to Bai Shangshu, the first person who discovered it found a scale under the bed, which doesn't look like a fish. According to Master Bai, it looks like a shark. of."

Song Yingbai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that after Zhuo Mingquan was rejected by him, he became obsessed and started eating people?
