Rebirth: sailing a thousand times

70

A pile of paper snowballs remained on the floor.

Gu Shaobai crumpled up the sheet he just wrote and threw it on the ground.Leaning on the back of the chair, he took a rest and drank a cup of tea. After the soreness in his wrist eased, he picked up his pen again.

Hearing the sound of the door, he raised his eyelids and continued to wrestle with the brush with no expression on his face.

Mu Qingfeng changed into dry clothes, and his hair was still steamed.

Gu Shaobai heard a slight "rustling" sound, and found that Mu Qingfeng was grinding ink for him.A majestic prince, Gu Shaobai felt a little uncomfortable when someone rubbed ink.

Originally, I wanted to regard him as air, but there is no such an obstructive air.

He rolled up the paper again, threw the pen away, and said angrily, "That's enough, I won't write anymore."

Mu Qingfeng was not angry either, put down the pine ink stick, walked to him, took his right hand, and stroked the uneven and slightly hideous light pink scar, "It will be better after a while, don't worry Come."

Gu Shaobai withdrew his hand, his face sunk in the shadow of the candle was as indifferent as water, his long black eyelashes cast two semi-curved shadows under his eyelids, the face reflected in the halo blurred the black and white eyebrows, and there was a kind of fragile bitterness.

His fingers were soft and cold, like willow branches brushing the water in the drizzle.

Mu Qingfeng went to the closet to get a jacket and put it on his shoulders, as if asking for his opinion, "The autumn night is cool, tomorrow I will ask Uncle Ping to burn the earth dragon!"

Gu Shaobai remained silent, and just when Mu Qingfeng thought he would never speak, he heard him ask calmly, "How long do you plan to keep me in? Even if my father and second brother are away, I won't return for many days. He will also be anxious, he will tell Third Uncle...the Gu family has already suffered many disasters, and I don't want to add more trouble."

After waiting for a while, Mu Qingfeng did not wait for a word.

Gu Shaobai expected to ask again in vain, got up and went back to the couch.

Leaning on the bedside and flipping through a few pages of the book, Mu Qingfeng leaned over. He was about to chase away people, but saw Mu Qingfeng holding a small key, and with a "clack bang", he opened the chain.

Gu Shaobai stared at him blankly, unable to believe it for a while.

The iron chain was removed, revealing a circle of bruises and bruises, against the white skin, as if the ankle had been wronged a lot.

Mu Qingfeng took out a box of ointment for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis from the drawer of the long case. It was left over from applying to the pinch marks on his neck. I don't know the formula, but it worked very well, and the swelling disappeared on the second day.

Gu Shaobai held up the book, but his eyes followed Mu Qingfeng's fingertips, and the cool feeling pressed against his skin, for some reason, he couldn't bear to tease him.

I couldn't help but want to slap myself, I hated him so much that my teeth were itchy, but because of such a seemingly gentle little gesture, my heart softened.

Curse secretly, Gu Shaobai, you are really worthless!

"Are you going to let me go?" Gu Shaobai asked.

"Well," Mu Qingfeng didn't look at him, and drew circles on the wound with his fingertips, "It's too late today, let Uncle Ping take you back early tomorrow morning."

He was so calm, but it made Gu Shaobai feel uneasy. I don't know which muscle in him is wrong, or which muscle has returned to its position!

Mu Qingfeng extinguished the candles before leaving, and the autumn night was very cold, so he was afraid that he would be frozen, so he added a thin quilt.

Gu Sanshao curled up under the thick quilt, rainy night, moonless, listening to his footsteps gradually drifting away, but he couldn't see what his back looked like when he left, intuitively, he seemed very lonely.

I can't help feeling a little regretful, there are many ways to refuse, did I go too far?

The next day, when Gu Shaobai woke up, it was already high in the sun.

Zhou Yuan had already prepared hot water and waited outside the door.Hearing a noise in the house, he lifted the curtain and entered.

Gu Shaobai blushed a little, who didn't work as a trafficker at sunrise, who didn't study at night by candlelight, it's rare to see people like him who are greedy for food and sleep.It's nothing in his own home, Mingyue and Qiuyue have long been used to it, but this is someone else's home after all, he is really a little embarrassed.

Simply put, Zhou Yuan didn't look at him strangely.

After getting up to wash up, and having breakfast near lunch time, Zhou Ping said that the carriage was ready and he could set off immediately.

After enduring it for a long time, Gu Shaobai still asked about Mu Qingfeng's whereabouts. Zhou Ping only thought that the prince had left the court and had not returned, so he got on the carriage in a sense of loss.

In fact, I don't know what to say when I see her. It would be better not to see her, but I still want to see her in the bottom of my heart!

The case of Ge Chunhui was concluded by Dali Temple and reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

His felony was not just embezzlement of ink, tax money and collusion with officials and bandits. However, the suspect kept his mouth shut, and other investigations had no real evidence, so no one could do anything about it.

Mu Qingfeng checked with others, and Ge Chunhui's family disappeared a few years ago. It should be because he knew that he was afraid of what would happen today, so he hid the whereabouts of his wife and children early in the morning, or the whole family has always been locked in the hands of Wang Si. In the hands of Dao, it made him keep silent.

Which one it is, still need to send another manpower to investigate carefully, but it will not be done overnight.

The emperor's imperial pen personally approved it, and asked to be executed after autumn. This is the first official above the third rank to be executed since Emperor Jiazheng ascended the throne.

Baiguanshan in the court hall shouted long live, and people in the court hall whispered about everything. Some said that Mu Chunhui deserved to die, some said that he could have sentenced the exile young emperor to make an example to others, and some said that this was simply instigated by Prince Yi...

Mu Qingfeng thanked him for sitting down, and the little eunuch served tea.

Emperor Jiazheng took a sip of his tea, "I beheaded Ge Chunhui, Wang Sidao should live in peace there, right?"

Relying on the power of the Queen Mother, Wang Sidao has grown faster than bamboo shoots in the past few years. The old guy is like a fox, hiding his tail very well. Nothing to do with him.

I went to the imperial decree this morning, and finally let out a little sulking.

Mu Qingfeng pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, Wang Sidao is a man of great power. He appears to be pure-hearted, but in fact he has made friends with many people in the court. His plan is definitely not as simple as monopolizing power."

Emperor Jiazheng opened his eyes wide, "The old man has already become a supreme minister, what else do you want to do."

Mu Qingfeng said, "I'm investigating, Your Majesty, rest assured, you just need to be more careful. As soon as there is news, I will report it as soon as possible."

The young emperor nodded, his face showed a vicissitudes that did not match his age, "Afeng, the person I trust the most is only Ruer!"

Emperor Jiazheng was the same age as Mu Qingfeng, but he was born in a later month. Since the beginning of Taixue, he has been calling him "Afeng", and it has not changed until now.

Hearing this, Mu Qingfeng pulled up his clothes and knelt down, "Your Majesty's trust, I will die forever."

Emperor Jiazheng quickly helped him up, "I and Ah Feng, there is no need to do this!"

The monarch and his ministers chattered about the daily routine for a while before Mu Qingfeng left.

After coming out of the palace, Ji Qing was waiting in front of the Qingbi oil truck, when he saw Mu Qingfeng coming out, he immediately greeted him.

"What's the matter?"

It turned out that the Fenghuang stronghold was destroyed, and all the gangsters were thrown into the prison of Anyang Prefecture, where they were convicted by the Criminal Division according to the law.Among them, a very important clue was found out from a young man. The newly appointed Futai did not dare to judge easily, so he was immediately escorted to Dali Temple. He arrived just last night when Ji Qing was on duty. Hurry up and report to Mu Qingfeng.

This is also the reason why Mu Qingfeng didn't have time to rush back to send Gu Shaobai off.

Ji Qing brought Mu Qingfeng to the back hall of Dali Temple. A young man in shackles and chains was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed. In late autumn, he was only wearing a ragged single-clothes, and his exposed skin was covered with scars. Those hanging on the road were still beaten in prison, and they looked very pitiful.

Mu Qingfeng glanced at Ji Qing, Ji Qing immediately understood, and ordered the policeman standing beside him to remove his shackles.

"Who's your name?"

The man didn't dare to raise his head, he only said softly, "Little man Lin Xiaohe."

Mu Qingfeng felt that the voice seemed familiar, "Raise your head."

"The little man dare not."

"Forgive your innocence, look up."

Lin Xiaohe slowly raised his head, Mu Qingfeng looked at this face, no wonder he looked familiar, it turned out that he was the follower of the fifth master in Fenghuangzhai, at the beginning, the fifth master wanted to bully Gu Shaobai, so he ran to move the second master Song That's why he didn't expose Mu Qingfeng ahead of time, so this person is considered to be credited.

When Lin Xiaohe saw that it was Mu Qingfeng, he immediately lowered his head and kowtowed in panic, "The villain is guilty, he has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai..."

Although I have heard about what happened that day afterwards, but seeing the cold-faced Lord now, I am really a little embarrassed.

"Okay." Mu Qingfeng interrupted him, "Why do you become a bandit at such a young age? Aren't you afraid of losing your head when you do that business of robbing houses?"

Lin Xiaohe mournfully said, "There is a famine in my hometown, and my parents are dead. The villain followed the fleeing people passing by the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and was robbed by the fifth master. He saw that the villain had no money on him, but he was still smart. Take the villain up to the mountain and serve him specially."

He wiped away his tears, "The villain was forced..."

Mu Qingfeng interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and he was not in the mood to listen to this, "Okay... I read your confession, and you said you overheard Ge Chunhui's conversation with someone? How about the specifics, what do you say?" Let me hear it, if it is really useful, it will be considered a crime for you."

Lin Xiaohe was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately described it in detail. After Mu Qingfeng listened intermittently, the confusion in his mind was immediately cleared up.

Sure enough, just as he expected, right after the robbery, a group of men in black drove groups of mules to Fenghuang Village.Among them were disaster relief silver, as well as armaments shipped to the northern front.Probably because Fenghuang Village was relatively close to Jingyang County, where the robbery took place, they were first hidden in the cave in the village.

Coincidentally, Ge Chunhui took a teacher to the bank to check the accounts, and found that the money was missing. Later, it was found out that the eight masters did it.

What Lin Xiaohe overheard happened to be the conversation between Ge Chunhui and his master. The master told Ge that Fenghuangzhai was a group of grass, with no sense of the overall situation, and too selfish. Once the news died down, it was better to transport the things to the mountains as soon as possible.

Ge Chunhui said that there was too much rain this spring, and the road was washed away.

After Mu Qingfeng finished listening, he asked Lin Xiaohe what that master looked like.

Lin Xiaohe said, the master only stayed for one day, he was not qualified to enter the hall to wait on him, and it was also at night when he eavesdropped on the conversation, so he didn't see clearly what the master looked like, but he could vaguely see that he was a thin man who was not a senior.

Mu Qingfeng knew that Ge Chunhui, Sun Binzi, and Guan Xin were undoubtedly Wang Sidao's subordinates.Then, this master is not only Wang Sidao's person, but also more important than Ge Chunhui.

A thought flashed into his mind, since the handwriting on the letter to Sun Binzi was not Wang Sidao's, could it be the teacher's?

Mu Qingfeng ordered Lin Xiaohe to be temporarily detained in the cell, and told Ji Qing not to treat him badly.

After leaving Dali Temple, he whispered something to Leng Dong, Leng Dong took the order and left, and Mu Qingfeng got up and went back to the palace.

After cleaning his hands, he took a sip of the hot tea Zhou Ping handed over, "He, has he gone back?"

Zhou Ping bowed and said, "Yes, the old slave sent the young master to the door before turning back."

Mu Qingfeng snorted and said nothing.

Zhou Ping looked at it, and found that his master was quite calm, not the expected loss and depression, but a confident look, and suddenly he was a little confused.

Mu Qingfeng knew that Gu Shaobai was determined to go and would not change his mind.

However, since he eavesdropped on the corner in the rain last night and understood Gu Shaobai's intentions, he is not in a hurry anymore. As long as the young master has him in his heart, he is not in a hurry to force him for a while, he thought happily Saying: "If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening."
