General Raiders [Unlimited]
Chapter 15 The Second Acquaintance
Sitting at the dining table, Nanyuan felt like sitting on pins and needles, eating rich food, but the taste was like chewing wax.
"What's the matter? General, why do you eat so little? Is the food not to your liking?"
This lady worked very hard in acting, but Nan Yuan had no intention of cooperating with her in acting.
Turning his head, he saw Zou Jingcheng's signal gaze, which seemed to remind him that he was almost ready to speak.
After brewing some emotions, Nan Yuan asked,
"Madam, do you still remember the scene when you first met Fifth Brother?"
Madam Yan glanced at him, then said,
"Of course, at that time he was begging and wandering outside, fighting for food with vicious dogs. I saw that he was pitiful, so I rewarded him with a bite of food. He also knows how to repay kindness. General, you don't always praise him for his bravery."
"Um……"
After a pause, Nan Yuan glanced at Zou Jingcheng again, only to see Zou Jingcheng mouthing "hometown".
"Madam, do you know where the fifth brother's hometown is? I want to visit with the fifth brother when I have time."
Mrs. Yan nodded,
"At that time, I heard from my fifth brother that it was a village called Guyun, but now it's deserted and there are no people there."
Afterwards, Zou Jingcheng's mouth shape that Nanyuan watched changed to "ask why".
Nan Yuan could only ask again,
"Why is there no one there?"
Madam Yan shook her head,
"Maybe it's because of the famine. The court levied heavy taxes, and the people were dying. You can see how emaciated Fifth Brother was back then, and you know that he didn't have a good time in those years."
Zou Jingcheng was silent for a moment, then nodded to Nan Yuan, indicating that he could end the meal.
"Maybe that's why the fifth younger brother killed the emperor?"
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Yan, Nan Yuan and Zou Jingcheng discussed on the way back to the palace,
"I remember that at the beginning, those men in black kidnapped the crown prince to impose severe taxes on the emperor. Perhaps, the fifth brother's parents and relatives died because of this, so the fifth brother bears a grudge against the emperor?"
Zou Jingcheng thought for a moment, then nodded,
"There is a possibility. However, since it is an exam, we still need to put aside subjective factors and find definite evidence."
Nan Yuan looked puzzled: "Evidence? But where can I find evidence?"
Zou Jingcheng: "So far, the emperor's strict collection of taxes has been dictated by others. If we can compare the tax collection situation every year, we can know whether the emperor is a fool or not."
Nan Yuan: "Then we are going to the Imperial Study Room?"
Zou Jingcheng shook his head, "No, go find someone. When I went to the imperial study yesterday, I saw him bring back all the imperial scrolls."
Nan Yuan: "..." Could this imperial study be a public library?Anyone can move books out?
However, when Zou Jingcheng brought him to the man's bedroom, Nan Yuan suddenly realized.
It turned out that the one who moved the books was another prince!
Just as Nan Yuan was thinking about how to climb over the wall so as not to startle the snake, he saw Zou Jingcheng go straight up and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened with a sound, and a person protruded from the door, it was the petite prince.
After seeing Zou Jingcheng, he didn't seem surprised, and said in a low voice,
"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Nanyuan: "???"
At this moment, the prince found Nan Yuan standing beside him, he frowned slightly, with a look of disgust and said,
"President, why did you bring this rogue here?"
Nan Yuan: "????" Who the hell is a hooligan?
However, the prince called President Zou Jingcheng...
Could it be...he is also an acquaintance? ? ?
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of what Zou Jingcheng said before, in this examination room, besides Nan Yuan, he only saw two acquaintances, one was Lianchao, could it be that there was another... this prince?
Nan Yuan: "So... who is this?"
Zou Jingcheng laughed lowly,
"Your old friend."
Nan Yuan: "?? My old friend??"
He glanced at the prince again.
This person has delicate features, red lips and white teeth, a pair of big eyes flickering, and looks harmless to humans and animals. He must have never had a fight with him. How could he have such a friend?
The person in front of him seemed to be impatiently stared at by him. He frowned instantly, and raised one hand to his eyes reflexively. However, after realizing something, he immediately put down his hand again, and said in a low voice,
"Damn it! Forgot I didn't have glasses!"
Seeing this action, Nan Yuan looked familiar.
If you put a pair of glasses on this face...
Suddenly, an extremely serious and rigid face appeared in front of his eyes.
At this moment, Nan Yuan couldn't help covering his mouth, but he still couldn't hold back his smile.
"No way! Jiang Qiu, I didn't expect you to have such a cute face!"
Hearing this sentence, the man's face became even more gloomy.
It seems that Nan Yuan guessed right.
However, this gloomy and ferocious expression was placed on his face, but it was harmless.
Jiang Qiu is a classmate of the same major as Nanyuan. He is also a junior with him. He is the head of the study department of the student union. He wears a pair of thick glasses all day long and looks very serious. The students were afraid of him and gave him the nickname "Iron Faced Guan Gong".
Nanyuan, who fights all day long, fails the exam, and is at the end of the crane, is naturally Jiang Qiu's key supervision target. Jiang Qiu has arrested countless times just to catch Nanyuan's handover report, not to mention the usual classes, exams, etc. waited.
Although Jiang Qiu and Nan Yuan were quite different in size, they couldn't beat him at all, but Jiang Qiu was upright, and his uncompromising personality gave Nan Yuan a headache, and he couldn't help but take a detour when he saw him.
After Jiang Qiu glared at Nan Yuan, he ignored him. Instead, he took a few thick scrolls and handed them to Zou Jingcheng.
"All the memorabilia of the palace are here, can you take a look?"
Zou Jingcheng nodded and reached out to take it.
Nan Yuan also turned his head to take a look, but saw that the eyes were full of brush characters of different shades, which made him yawn again and again.
What the hell is this? Are you taking a political test or a Chinese test?
After a few glances, he decided to give up.
When he was bored, he turned his gaze to Jiang Qiu again.
"Jiang Qiu, what is your topic for tomorrow?"
Jiang Qiu glanced at him angrily,
"Why should I tell you?"
Nan Yuan: "After all, classmates are together, and we should help each other in times of crisis, don't you think?"
Jiang Qiu glared at him and said, "Who wants to help each other with you? I'll be thankful if you don't poison my bowl!"
Nan Yuan was teased by him, but instead of being angry, he smiled.
In the past, Nanyuan was not punished by Jiang Qiushao. Thanks to him, he was called to scold him by the school leaders for countless times. Now that he finally found a chance to take revenge, Nanyuan would naturally not let it go.
"Jiang Qiu, I tell you, don't stare at me, otherwise, I always feel that you are acting like a baby to me!"
Hearing this, Jiang Qiu blushed instantly.
Nan Yuan chased after the victory, "Minister Jiang, are you shy? Are you so red?"
Jiang Qiu didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he said directly to Zou Jingcheng,
"This fly is too annoying. I'm going back to the room first. President, you can call me later if you have something to do." He then turned and went back to the room, and closed the door with a "bang--".
Nan Yuan couldn't help turning his head to look at Zou Jingcheng,
"Did I say something wrong? Zou Jingcheng, don't you think Jiang Qiu's face is cute?"
Zou Jingcheng raised his head and glanced at him,
"I think you are cuter."
Nan Yuan: "?????"
What bullshit?How cute is he, a tall and thick man? ?
What the hell, your whole family is cute.
Zou Jingcheng flipped through the scroll, Jiang Qiu entered the back room, Nan Yuan was bored and could only hang out outside.
The weather tonight is not bad, the moon and stars are sparse, which is very suitable for walking at night.
Just as he walked to the wall beside him, the female ghost in his ear suddenly started screaming.
At this time, Nan Yuan couldn't help but frown.
This is the fourth way for the female ghost to make a sound besides [Give it back to me] and [Kill him].
In the emperor's bedroom, this female ghost cried once.
What happened to the scream this time?
Nanyuan tried to take a few steps back, and then took a few steps forward.
He found that the closer he got to the wall, the louder the female ghost seemed to be screaming.
Could it be, is there something on the other side of the fence?
Having practiced martial arts for many years, Nan Yuan is also a courageous person with high skills. He didn't hesitate at the moment, just like climbing the emperor's palace before, he climbed up the wall by leaning on the tree, and turned over.
The other end of the wall is also a bedroom.
However, after seeing this sleeping palace, Nan Yuan was startled.
I saw that the walls, eaves, and pillars of this palace were all scorched black, and the door plaque fell aside, and the words on it were completely unclear.
It seems that there has been a fire here.
The doors and windows were covered with cobwebs, and the yard was overgrown with weeds and dilapidated, apparently abandoned for a long time.
The female ghost's cry became more and more terrifying, making Nan Yuan feel a little terrified.
Is there anything special about this house?Let this female ghost be so frightened?
Nan Yuan reached out and lifted the cobwebs on the door, and opened the dilapidated door.
In an instant, a rotten breath rushed over.
After Nan Yuan managed to dissipate the smell, he walked into the bedroom.
I saw that this room was also full of traces of the fire, and the shape of the dressing table, wardrobe, and bed could barely be seen, and beside the bed, there was a charred cradle, which should be an ancient crib.
At the same time, he heard a rustling sound.
Raising his head, he froze for a moment.
I saw a mass of dark things rushing from the depths of the bedroom.
The black mass is precisely the densely packed small insects.
Just like what Zou Jingcheng said, he is not afraid of anything, except bugs.
Especially the ones that are so densely packed together.
He couldn't help but yelled, and fled out the door without thinking.
"What's the matter? General, why do you eat so little? Is the food not to your liking?"
This lady worked very hard in acting, but Nan Yuan had no intention of cooperating with her in acting.
