Case closed

Zhui Ming was stunned, as if he didn't expect that there was such an internal staff, he couldn't help but frowned: "What enmity do you have with the Xiao family?"

"What enmity is there?" The man laughed more and more unscrupulously, "The enmity of destroying the family is irreconcilable! Why do you think he suddenly gave up his hands five years ago? He was just a bodyguard back then, and where did he get the money? Doing business? When my parents came back from business with a good income, they were afraid of being in danger on the road, so they went to his original bodyguard bureau to ask someone to guard the bodyguard. Who would have thought that after arriving home safely, he would bring someone back in the middle of the night, kill my whole family and seize me? Family wealth - I was also stabbed in the chest, if my mother hadn't hid me in a corner to block me, how would I have the life to take revenge?"

The man was still laughing while talking, but at some point tears were streaming down his face, and his voice was rough: "Of course I don't know martial arts. Where can I go to learn martial arts from my master as an orphan? What's more, I was already more than ten years old at that time." How can I still have time to learn martial arts? When will I be able to kill him? Fortunately, I have learned the ability to sneak around, but it is very useful to be shady, so I still kill him! As long as this woman "suicide in fear of crime" today - only It's a pity...it's a pity that the calculation was still wrong!"

The smile on Zhui Ming's face finally disappeared, he sighed, and stretched out his hand - he took out a stack of papers from his arms, and looked carefully, but it was the land deeds of Xiao's shops in various places.Zhui Ming suddenly remembered that he happened to meet him at the gate of the Jiang family yesterday, and his heart suddenly came to his mind—presumably at that time... He must have gone to Xiao Changkong's study to search for these, and wanted to get back his old family property!

Chasing life felt pity, a little unbearable, and sighed again, but his voice softened a little: "In this case, why didn't you report to the police?"

"Report to the officer? When I crawled out of the house, even I thought I was going to die—if it wasn't for a beggar who saved me, how could I still get it? I wanted to lie down like a disabled person for half a year before I picked it up. Fate, at that time Xiao Changkong had already washed his hands of gold and became a rich man! Government and business collusion has always been collusion, and, and everyone knows that he and Zhui Ming solved a big case together that year, and became friends—the third master , How dare I report to the official? What's the use of reporting to the official? Who will believe me?"

He asked rhetorically three times in a row, one sentence became louder and more angry, and at the end, he spit out a mouthful of blood in a "wow"—Zui Ming was silent for a while, and stood on the spot without saying a word After a while, after a long while, he finally sighed softly, and carried him out of the prison.

……

Mrs. Xiao woke up the next day, her face turned pale and her whole body was slumped when she found out the truth.That day when she heard Xiao Changkong say that she would leave the family property to her youngest son, she felt a chill in her heart—she and Xiao Changkong had been husband and wife for more than ten years, but they were still no match for a young and beautiful concubine; Well, the promotion to become an official is only in front of you. In the future, where will you not need money in the officialdom?But Xiao Changkong said that he would leave all the family property to that bastard... Just at this time, the person who sent her the letter came to her. She thought he just wanted to kill Xiao Changkong, but she didn't expect that she almost ruined the lives of the entire Xiao family. He Family Property——At the moment, his heart was ashamed, and he no longer argued and resisted, and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Chasing life didn't stay in the county government much - the case has already come to light, Mrs. Xiao and the person who pretended to be Xiao Ping have been handed over to the county magistrate, as for what punishment each should be sentenced to, it is clearly written in the laws of the Song Dynasty , is not his responsibility.

The Xiao family is already gloomy at the moment. Fortunately, Xiao Changkong's eldest son got the news and is already on his way back to his hometown—so in a few days, someone who can take charge of the overall situation will finally come back, and chasing his life can be regarded as a lot of relief. , After telling the butler to handle the affairs properly, he quickly said his goodbyes and left Xiao's house with Xiyin.

It snowed early this morning, not too much, but it continued all morning.Xiyin stood on the bridge holding an umbrella, staring fixedly at Zhui Ming, who was leaning against the bridge and sitting by the lake, drinking non-stop.

He didn't hold an umbrella, and a thin layer of snow soon covered his shoulders and hair, but he didn't seem to care about it at all. He leaned against the bridge, bent one leg, put one hand on his knee, and drank heavily. With wine.

The penny's worth of wine was drunk so quickly again!Zhuiming frowned, held up the gourd with some reluctance and fell it down vigorously, but only two or three drops of water slowly dripped down—Zhuiming shook his head and sighed, put the gourd back on his waist, but suddenly felt A shadow cast down from overhead.

Zhuiming raised his head, and saw that Xiyin had come back at some point, holding an umbrella to cover his head, and the blue and white Taoist robe looked more and more dusty and awe-inspiring in the snow—he had put the umbrella on earlier. Give it to her, let her go around Cangzhou by herself, don't come here for nothing, I didn't expect her to come back so soon.

Xiyin looked at him fixedly, blinked her eyes, her delicate face was serious, and said softly, "You are a good person."

Zhui Ming was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing - took the umbrella in her hand, jumped up, and patted her on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter if he is a good person, anyway, he won't be a bad person who kidnapped you and sold your teeth, Let's go! I'll take you to Mount Hua!"

——The case of Xiao Changkong certainly made him feel very bad.That person has no way to report to the official, and has nowhere to go, and it is more or less related to himself and the current status of the court.But although he is unavoidably depressed, he doesn't know what to do - he may not be able to do anything, but he has tried his best; if he alone is not enough, there are seniors, uncles, other upright officials A knight...everyone will have regrets more or less in his life. All he can do is to do his best to minimize regrets with a clear conscience.

However, even if this is the case, it is rare that the little girl who has always been taciturn can say something to comfort herself, but it still makes Zhui Ming feel warm in his heart, and his mood improves a lot in an instant.The usual smile returned to Zhui Ming's face, he stood up and patted the snow on his body casually, and was about to stride forward - just as he took a step, he found that the little girl was still standing where she was, Did not keep up.

Zhui Ming immediately retreated holding the umbrella, tilting the umbrella to Xiyin's side, not caring about the snow falling on his shoulders and head, but wrapping Xiyin under the umbrella properly, Blocking the falling snowflakes, I looked down at her:

"I'm not unhappy, let's go? I'll make a pot of wine, and then I'll take you to Mount Hua!"

Xiyin looked up at him, and saw that the smile on his face didn't seem to be forced, so she nodded slightly, but still didn't leave, but blinked unconsciously, with a serious tone He said calmly, "You said... you're going to take me to the brothel."

When she spoke, she was as expressionless as ever, and her tone was light, as natural and confident as if she was saying "the weather is good today".

Zhui Ming was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly burst out laughing—the voice was so loud that it seemed to be coming from his vibrating chest, causing passers-by to look back frequently, but he didn't care. After laughing for a long time, he finally stopped, lowered his head, met the little girl's calm and doubtful eyebrows, and nodded seriously and solemnly:

"Okay, but places like kilns usually don't open until evening - let's go make a pot of wine and have a meal first, and then we have to do some preparations. I'll take you there at night and leave for Huashan tomorrow."

Xiyin had no objection, nodded, then raised her head—looked at the umbrella that was completely covering her head, then suddenly raised her hand and took Zhuiming's hand holding the umbrella handle.

The temperature of the little girl's hands is a little low, but it is not as cold as this temperature, but has a refreshing and reassuring coolness. The palm of the hand is covered with a layer of calluses because of holding the sword all the year round, but it is slender and small. However, his hand was still much softer and more delicate than that of a big man like him—Zui Ming was stunned for a moment, but after Xi Yin stretched out his hand to hold his hand, he stretched out his arm with some difficulty, holding his hand. He straightened the heavily tilted umbrella with his hands.After a pause, he looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, leaned sideways to Zhui Ming's side, so that both of them were covered under the umbrella, and finally withdrew his hand, speaking coldly One sentence:

"Let's go."

The soft touch on the back of his hand suddenly left, and Zhui Ming subconsciously looked at his hands——he had a difficult life when he was a child, and his hands were already very rough.His gaze moved down and fell on Xiyin's hand hanging by his side - slender and fair, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Zhui Ming shook his head, the smile on his face showed a bit of helplessness for some reason, but he didn't say anything more, patted Xiyin on the shoulder, and led her away from the bridge.

In the evening of that day, two men who came with them stood at the gate of a brothel in Cangzhou City—one was about [-] years old, dressed in coarse cloth, even the leggings seemed to be a little torn, and there was a slight stubble on his chin. It looks a little rough.But the person standing next to him was the exact opposite of him - he was just a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, probably because of his young age, he was a little short in stature, although his face was expressionless and his body was cold. , but that appearance was born with red lips and white teeth, extremely delicate and handsome.He is neatly dressed in white clothes, with a jade crown and hair, and a long sword on his back. It seems that he has a little more refined temperament in the coldness-this kind of person is really different from a romantic place like a brothel. It's a bit out of place, which attracts the attention of people around.
