[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

The sound at the door attracted the attention of the rest of the hall, and Sun Xiuning looked at the person at the door in surprise, "Father—"

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, this is County Magistrate Sun?

"Xiu Ning, what did you just say?" County Magistrate Sun took a deep breath and walked into the hall with heavy steps, "What did you mean just now?"

"Father, I, I'm not..."

The county magistrate Sun walked up to Sun Xiuning, and suddenly slammed the table, "You still dare to lie! I thought it was strange that you divorced the engagement that day, how long do you want to keep this matter a secret?! That Fu Xin is an unforgivable person." The disobedient person actually did such a thing! A good death is a good death, and life in this world is nothing more than an idyllic existence!"

"father!"

Sun Xiuning burst into tears when she heard the words, "He's not like that, he must have just been confused for a while, I, I..."

"You dare to intercede for him. If I hadn't happened to hear it today, I wouldn't have known that he would have done such a nasty thing and had an affair with a man. I am ashamed of his father's teachings, ashamed of his family's ancestors!" After the magistrate Sun finished speaking, he glared at Sun Xiuning and said, "The marriage has not yet been rejected, and the engagement is still in our hands. Come with me to Fu's house!"

"Father, what are you going to do! He is dead, what are you going to do!"

Being pulled by the wrist by magistrate Sun and walking out, Sun Xiuning struggled and shouted: "Father, don't you even let him die? My daughter is still innocent, but there is only one marriage missing. Why do you want to do this?" Do it, and ruin his reputation after death!"

The complexion of Gongsun Ce on the side changed, as if a needle had been pricked in his heart.

"He can do such things and ruin your reputation, why can't I do that?"

"Father! Daughter, please, please don't do this." Sun Xiuning knelt down abruptly, dragging the magistrate Sun's hand, "Please let Fu Xin go, he...he...is my wishful thinking, It has always been my wishful thinking, I don’t blame him, I don’t blame him.”

"You, you bastard!"

Magistrate Sun hated that iron could not be made into steel, so he walked away, kicked the mahogany box on the ground, and a pair of jade bracelets slipped from inside, making a crisp sound. Sun Xiuning looked up at the pair of jade bracelets, and knelt down on the ground Wept bitterly.

Gongsun Ce came back to his senses, stepped forward, knelt down and stretched out his hand, "Miss Sun, death cannot be brought back to life."

"He's dead. If he doesn't die, I will forgive him after a few days when my anger subsides. But he died with that person, and he would rather have a dead person than me." Sun Xiuning looked at Gongsun in front of him aggrievedly. Ce, "What's so good about that person? What's better than me..."

Hearing that Gongsun Ce couldn't answer, he could only respond in silence.

Suddenly an extra hand appeared beside him, helping Sun Xiuning up, "Miss Sun, it's not that you are bad, it's just that he loves that person more."

Gongsun Ce was also stunned by Huamanlou's words, and looked in Huamanlou's direction in surprise. When it was pitch black, he suddenly remembered that he couldn't see, so he laughed and shook his head and stood up.

After leaving Sun's house, Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou were speechless on the way back to the inn. Not only was there nothing to say, but even the atmosphere became silent and awkward.

Some people on the side of the road were discussing Fu Xin's death, and they all speculated why a person with a bright future would commit suicide at this time and abandon his parents. He was so cruel. There must be something extremely sad that made him go down a road of no return. .

Gongsun Ce was holding the bamboo stick, a little absent-minded, just now the words of the county magistrate Sun and Sun Xiuning reappeared in his mind again and again, suddenly the bamboo stick hit someone, Gongsun Ce came back to his senses in surprise and hurriedly said: "Sorry, I accidentally touched someone. Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Where did the blind man come from? If you lose your mind while walking on the road, be careful not to be hit by a carriage!"

The rude and vulgar words made Gongsun Ce frowned. He was angry but remembered that he was wrong. He swallowed his breath and planned to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, before he could take a step, the ground under his feet seemed to shake. The sound of that person moaning in pain just now.

"who are you--?!"

Gongsun Ce called out in surprise, "Huamanlou?"

Hua Manlou walked up to him, "Let's go back to the inn, when it's time for dinner, little brother Bai must be back."

"...En." Gongsun Ce is not a fool, so he naturally knew that it was Hua Manlou who attacked just now, but it's hard to imagine that someone like Hua Manlou would attack others first.

The two of them had just walked a few steps, when the man followed up again, stretched out his hand to greet Gongsun Ce, who was Hua Manlou, the cloud sleeves fluttered, and the fan waved, the big man's hand hadn't touched Gongsun Ce's shoulder. Knocked to the ground by Hua Manlou, he clasped his arms and yelled, "My hand! My hand!"

"This is a lesson for you to be rude."

Hua Manlou was seldom angry, but this time he hit hard.

What the big man said just now made Hua Manlou find it unpleasant, and anger surged in his heart.Gongsun Ce already had a problem with blindness, although he didn't say anything and pretended not to care, but Hua Manlou knew that Gongsun Ce cared a lot, cared about not being able to see it.

Gongsun Ce noticed that Hua Manlou was really angry, and stepped forward with a bamboo stick, shook his head, and shouted, "Hua Manlou."

"Back to the inn."

"kindness."

The big man naturally didn't dare to step forward, looking at the back of the two leaving, his eyes were full of sternness.

Back in the inn, Gongsun Ce went upstairs and said, "I didn't expect you to be so easily irritated. It's just a sentence. What others say can't cause any harm. Why get angry? If that person is from here Local snakes, we are not the ones who suffer."

"I lost my temper just now."

"Why did you apologize to me? I thanked you just now." Gongsun Ce patted Hua Manlou's shoulder, but he didn't know where he was, his hand slipped from his shoulder, touched his nose in embarrassment, sat down and said, "Now Once Fu Xin dies, we will have to rethink the matter of going to the door."

"Fu Xin is dead, and the clues are broken."

"It's just that we haven't been careful enough." Gongsun Ce thought for a while, "There must be something we haven't noticed, there must be something that has been missed."

The timing of Fu Xin's death was too strange.

If it is expected that they will come to Yangcheng, death at this time is somewhat suspicious. Is death used to cover up the truth?What is the truth to be covered up?It was a matter with Gong Yun, and I was worried that Dong Chuang's incident might have another truth.What does the wordless letter represent?

"Fu Xin's death...could it be related to the wordless letter?"

"It must be related to the wordless letter!" Gongsun Ce said to himself: "This trip is not fruitless, at least... we can be sure of the relationship between Fu Xin and Gong Yun, so we will go to Fu's house tomorrow and stay in Fu Xin's room There must be some clues to be found, and I will return to Yiye Town the day after tomorrow."

Gongsun Ce seemed to have an answer, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

When Bai Yutang knocked on the door and came in, he saw the two sitting there, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you back?"

"Aren't you back too?" Hua Manlou answered.

Bai Yutang pursed his lips, and automatically drew a line with Huamanlou in his heart - this person is too deep to be offended, and after thinking about it, Gongsun Ce is better at talking.

"I asked Xiao Er to bring the dishes, do you have anything to eat?"

"It's up to you." Gongsun Ce is not picky, but any dishes are similar to him now, and eating is not easy for him now.

Hearing this, Bai Yutang walked out in response, once again affirming what he had just thought, that Gongsun Ce is much closer than Hua Manlou.
