I am a consultant in Kaifeng

Yang Silang looked at the mahogany box placed in front of him, and then at Du Xiaoning.

Du Xiaoning had a smile on his face: "Won't Shiro open the box and take a look?"

The mahogany box is exquisite in workmanship, and a lifelike peony flower is carved on the surface.

Yang Silang recognized it at a glance, it was Changqing's box.

Every time he went to ask Xianlou, Changqing would hold this mahogany box to see him.There are all kinds of gadgets in the box, sometimes some poems written by her, sometimes some small objects made by her, she said that it is not easy to find someone who knows how to be compassionate and willing to listen, so every time she will Show him the poems she wrote and the small objects she made.

Yang Silang didn't move, he just lowered his eyes and looked at the mahogany box.

Du Xiaoning looked at his expression, then turned to look at Zhan Zhao who was standing beside her.

Probably because of a tacit understanding, it just happened to meet Zhan Zhao's gaze turning to her.

Mr. Zhan's eyes are always deep and bright. Although his eyes are sharp, sometimes you can still feel a trace of tenderness from his eyes.

Du Xiaoning met Zhan Zhao's eyes and couldn't help showing him a smile.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback.

At this time, Yang Silang, who had been looking down at the red box, finally raised his hand.

His fingers trembled slightly, and the moment his fingertips touched the box, he had a complicated expression on his face.

Yang Silang: "I didn't expect that you could find this thing."

Du Xiaoning: "Nonsense, you clearly thought of it."

Yang Silang: ""

Yang Silang stroked the pattern of peony flowers with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I have thought about it. But I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Du Xiaoning and Yang Silang had known each other for a long time.

They used to drink and have fun in Fanghua Building, and they once rode horses for an outing in spring. Speaking of which, at that time, each other was playing the image of a dandy boy song, and no one had seen the true face of anyone under that layer of vagabond skin. .

This was the first time Du Xiaoning saw Yang Silang showing such an expression.

Du Xiaoning originally wanted to listen to Yang Silang's voice, but changed his mind.

She has shown the sincerity that should be taken, and Yang Silang will naturally say what should be said.

Yang Silang stood there for a while, then opened the mahogany box.

In the mahogany box, there is a notebook.He reached out and took out the book.

In the book are the names of people who have been to Wenxian Tower over the years.Names, official positions, and favorites are all available.

Du Xiaoning looked at Yang Silang, and said in a gentle voice: "Although Mr. Zhan and I came here with sincerity, we couldn't fully trust you. Now that we have brought this booklet, shouldn't Shiro be honest with each other? "

Yang Silang smiled, and thought about it seriously, "Then I still have to think carefully about how honest I want to be."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao laughed angrily, "Speaking of this matter, Mr. Yang Silang set up a bureau, and now that he has got his wish, it is your duty to explain the whole story clearly."

Yang Silang's beautiful sword eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised with a smile that was not a smile, "Duty belongs to duty, my friendship with Aning is different from that of others, some things have nothing to do with Aning, but it is better to talk to others. But it matters."

As he said that, another sly smile appeared on his face, and his tone was sloppy, "The whole story can be explained to others, but at what point of the explanation, do you have to look at the person? For someone like your Excellency, you can only Let me explain that this booklet was written by Changqing."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help raising his eyebrows, it's the first time he's met such an arrogant person after he's been in Kaifeng Mansion for so long.

He smiled and shot suddenly.

Yang Silang's expression changed, he leaned back, and raised one hand to block Zhan Zhao's.

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Yang Silang is very skilled."

He smiled calmly, using the moves in his hands like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Seeing this, Yang Silang smiled coldly, "I've long wanted to witness Master Zhan's skills in Kaifeng Mansion, and now it's a long-cherished wish!"

So, the two of them compared their moves in Yang's back garden.

It's not a good habit to start a fight when there is a disagreement.

Du Xiaoning looked at the two people who dazzled her, but she didn't dare to try to persuade them to fight.

A person who doesn't know martial arts, she ran to persuade the two masters not to fight, but don't joke about it.

Simply out of sight and out of sight, sat next to him and drank tea.

By the time the two of them were about to finish their fight, Du Xiaoning had already drunk two cups of tea.

The saber in Zhan Zhao's hand was not out of its sheath, but pointed directly at Yang Silang.

Yang Silang stood where he was, with a happy expression on his face.

Yang Silang: "Master Zhan is very good at martial arts, I am willing to bow down."

Zhan Zhao took back the saber in his hand, "Since he is willing to bow down, Mr. Yang Silang wants to explain to the third son, can you also explain to me?"

Yang Silang glanced at him, then again, and then several times in a row.

Zhan Zhao stood in the same place, motionless like a mountain, responding to all changes with the same.

After a while, Yang Silang laughed, "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Since I have lost, I must obey Master Zhan at this moment."

Thousand obedience and obedience?

Why does it sound weird?

Although Zhan Zhao felt strange in his heart, he was too lazy to delve into it.

Yang Silang doesn't know how many twists and turns he has in his intestines. If he digs deeper, he will be exhausted.

So Mr. Zhan, who didn't want to get to the bottom of it, didn't refuse, but nodded slightly generously, and said indifferently: "Since you want to be obedient to me, let's start to explain."

Yang Silang: ""

Yang Silang looked at Du Xiaoning and asked, "You don't care?"

Having finished two cups of tea, Du Xiaoning, who was drinking the third cup, almost choked on the tea. She gave Yang Silang a reproachful look, "What are you talking about? I was a small soldier doing errands in Kaifeng Mansion."

Hearing this, Yang Silang looked at Zhan Zhao again, and let out an "oh" inexplicably.

Zhan Zhao looked at Yang Silang and Du Xiaoning, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he realized his actions, so he relaxed his brows again.

He looked at Yang Silang with deep eyes, "Didn't Mr. Yang Silang say that he would be obedient to me? Why are you talking about him now? You want to break your promise and get fat?"

"Who wants to renege on his promise and get fat?" Yang Silang suddenly became angry, "I am the governor of the imperial army, and it is hard to chase after my words."

Mr. Zhan ran out of patience, "Then tell me quickly!"

The expression on Yang Silang's face was a bit inconceivable, he was too lazy to look at Zhan Zhao, turned directly to Du Xiaoning, frowned and said: "I know that although you are very fond of beautiful girls, you are not close to women. I thought that if you like it, you can accompany you A knowledgeable person who plays with Fengyue."

Du Xiaoning:? ? ?

Yang Silang frowned even tighter, "Although he is good at martial arts, but his temperament is too old-fashioned, and he can't understand people's words. Aning, if you want to play, why bother to look far away, why don't you look for me? Although I am not broken, but if You want to play, I—"

Before Yang Silang finished speaking, the cup lid in Du Xiaoning's hand flew towards him.

Yang Silang tilted his head slightly, raised his hand to catch the lid of the cup, and looked shocked: "Ah Ning, I think of you so much, but you don't appreciate it?"

Du Xiaoning's smiling eyes became cold at this moment, and his voice was also cold, "Shiro, Mr. Zhan is different from you and me. Don't talk nonsense and ruin his reputation."

Yang Silang was making fun of himself.

The expression on Zhan Zhao's face has changed from calm to very serious.

Yang Silang has an unrestrained personality, but he is born to be sensible.

Some things are almost done. If he really stepped on the cat's tail, he would not be able to finish eating.

So Yang Silang sat down on the chair beside Du Xiaoning and flipped through the booklet.

Yang Silang: "What do you want to know?"

Du Xiaoning clasped his hands together, "There's a lot we want to know, why don't you start with why you went to such lengths to get close to Pan Shi and call him a brother?"

Yang Silang was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, didn't you guess this matter a long time ago? Of course it is for my mother."

It's been a long time since his mother left him, so long that he can't seem to remember her face clearly.

He only remembered that his mother was gentle and beautiful.

When he was young, he didn't understand why he had to call another woman's mother even though he had a mother.Later, he understood.

His mother has a peerless face, a graceful dancing posture, and a singing voice comparable to that of a lark.She should have had a happy life, but she didn't.

The evening wind blows through the garden, the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are swaying, and butterflies are flying among them.

Yang Silang followed the two butterflies, Xu Sheng said: "My mother's surname is Liu, the Liu family in Chizhou. Since you know Changqing and Wenxianlou, you can naturally guess my mother's past."

"I can guess it because I know about Changqing. What about you? How did you know about your mother's past? Did she tell you?"

Yang Silang shook his head, "No, she didn't tell me. I found the notes written by her during her lifetime among her belongings. She hid them very well, only in secrets that only me and her knew. We Thinking, she has always wanted to tell me those things, but I have never grown up. She waited and waited, waited and waited, until she was about to die of illness, but I still haven’t grown up. In desperation, I had to write Write down those notes and hide them."

Du Xiaoning: "What was mentioned in the diary?"

Yang Silang: "I mentioned tall buildings and many women like them. They have no freedom and no future, and they are treated as prostitutes day after day for fun."

That notebook is mostly the vent of the mother's inner sorrow.

She had hoped that someone would take her out of the tall building, but she did leave the tall building, but entered another cage.His father raised his mother like a canary, keeping her from being approached or touched. Even his own son was rarely seen a few times a year.

"I always thought my mother was happy until I saw the notes she left behind."

Du Xiaoning: "So you decided to find the tall building your mother mentioned?"

Yang Silang smiled, his tone was very calm, "At the beginning, I just wanted to try. Although I respect my mother in my heart, I don't know much about her after all."

In the beginning, he was like a headless chicken, without a clue.

Where is the tall building my mother mentioned?

Does such a power-sex transaction really exist?

If so many women have been abducted, why has there been no disturbance?

Just when he was about to give up, Li Qi, who was said to be the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, who was going to go down to the earth to experience the calamity of love, dragged him to the Great Buddha Temple.

Li Qi wants to worship the Buddha, but he doesn't want it.

In his life, he came to the world naked, and what he flattered was the purpose of carpe diem.He can't do it if he wants to be empty of all things like the Buddha and have no meat to eat.

So, when Li Qi worshiped Buddha, he wandered around.

In the backyard of the Great Buddha Temple, relying on his lightness kung fu, he jumped directly onto a tree and went to sleep.

Unexpectedly, it would not be quiet even when it was on the tree. A few monks with broken mouths came down from the tree, including Zhang Qingyun who disappeared near the Great Buddha Temple a few days ago.

"What do you mean by coincidence? My mother's diary was almost torn apart by me. I almost believed that maybe it was just my mother's imagination, but I discovered some clues."

Hearing this, Du Xiaoning couldn't help reminding him, "When Zhang Qingyun disappeared, he was a man."

"Of course I know this, but she has an elder brother who is looking for her frantically. The monks didn't say much, but suddenly said mysteriously that a Chizhou native went to Bianjing to find someone a few years ago, and even sued The Minister of the Ministry of War snatches a woman from a good family, it's about my father, shouldn't I prick up my ears and listen?"

Du Xiaoning suddenly asked: "Have you asked my adoptive father about this case?"

Yang Silang: "No."

"Liar, you must have."

Yang Silang: ""

Yang Silang snorted, "I've only inquired about it on the sidelines, who knew Du Shangshu was so sharp and intelligent. Aning, your adoptive father, you know it very well."

Du Xiaoning thought it was a matter of course, and didn't look at anyone else.

"Du Shangshu seems to have been investigating the matter of the high-rise building. He knew that I was also investigating. Come on, he almost gave away what he had in his hands."

Du Xiaoning laughed.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help looking at Yang Silang.

Yang Silang sighed with a smile, and his tone was unprecedentedly sincere, "Jiang is still old and hot. Ah Ning, it was your good foster father who hinted that I could get in touch with Pan Shi. I admire this kind of skill. "

Looking at Yang Silang's appearance, Du Xiaoning felt that it was unlikely that he would really admire her adoptive father.

So she listened to Yang Silang's inner voice——

Old fox, thankless things keep me busy.

Du Xiaoning: ""

Du Xiaoning's eyes fell on the mahogany box, "You can give this booklet to my adoptive father."

Yang Silang smiled, "No."

Du Xiaoning:? ?

Zhan Zhao:? ? ?

"What can a single booklet explain? This matter has existed for many years, and no one has investigated it. Is it true that the families of these women do not value them? If they are lost, they are lost, just like losing a cat or a dog. Doesn't it seem important?"

Obviously not.

It's because this gang can cover the sky with one hand.

"Besides, Du Shangshu looks high-spirited, but I'm not familiar with him. It's not like being so close with Aning, we can't distinguish between each other."

It's really nonsense, just open your mouth, who is so close to him that you can't tell each other?

Du Xiaoning was distracted by him, and was in no mood to talk to him.

Master Zhan, on the other hand, gave Yang Silang a sad look, "Speak well."

Yang Silang smiled, and his tone was very innocent, "I don't call it a good talk, so how can I call it a good talk."

This person is not used to speaking in one voice, and obviously Yang Silang's perception of what to say and what not to say is different from hers.

Du Xiaoning didn't want to follow him around, and went directly to read his heartfelt words——

Although Du Ruoyu is good, after all, he comes from a family of officials, who knows if the people in the Xianlou have any relatives or friends of his?

Bao Zheng is an upright person, and is extremely loved by the people. Only by handing over the case to the Kaifeng government, may the truth be revealed.

Du Xiaoning was not surprised to know what Yang Silang was thinking.

Her adoptive father was indeed from a family of officials and eunuchs. The family has been in the family for hundreds of years. Under the family is an intertwined network of relationships. One hair can affect the whole body. It is normal for Yang Silang to have such thoughts.

The brochure has already been obtained, Wenxian Tower is indeed in Pan Shi's search for paradise, this time it can be regarded as complete authentication and physical evidence, even if Grand Master Pang cannot be pulled down, it is enough to seriously hurt his vitality.

Du Xiaoning didn't care what would happen to Taishi Pang and Pan Shizhi, because she still had doubts in her mind.

Du Xiaoning: "What happened to Ren Minling?"

Yang Silang smiled, "You mean Li Qi's sweetheart?"

Du Xiaoning nodded, "You arranged for her to meet Changqing?"

"Yes, since she doesn't want to live anymore, why not do one more thing that is beneficial to herself and others before she dies?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "You knew she wanted to die, but you didn't stop her?"

Yang Silang sneered, as if he heard some joke, he wondered: "Why should I dissuade you? The world is so big, who doesn't? I feel guilty. Ren Minling is the latter, she wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, why should I discourage her?"

This is a good reason.

But listening to Yang Silang's words always made people feel a little unworthy.

Master Zhan frowned even tighter, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Du Xiaoning.

Du Xiaoning asked Yang Silang: "How do you know her?"

The sun has set and the sky is getting dark, but there are still birds flying in the sky.

Yang Silang looked at the flying bird, and waited for it to disappear without a trace in the sky, then looked back at Du Xiaoning, and said meaningfully: "Fate. Ah Ning, you and I have never known each other before, but how come we know each other?" Isn’t it because of fate that we still have such close friendship?”

Du Xiaoning: "Well, it's because of fate. But how did this fate come about?

"Fate is the shrimp whiskers bracelet."

Yang Silang remembered meeting Ren Minling for the first time on such an evening.It was already getting dark, and he had been hanging out with Pan Shi and others in Wenxian Tower for a whole day the night before, and Pan Shi left early the next morning when he had something to do, leaving him in Wenxian Tower.

At this time, the benefits of being brothers and sisters with Pan Shi appeared.

Other people went to Xunyuanwenxianlou, no matter who they were, most of them left the next morning, but he, Yang Silang, could spend the night in Wenxianlou, and he could also make the most beautiful evergreen in Wenxianlou. The girl is serving, how beautiful is it?

"I left from Xun Paradise that evening. I wanted to go back to the city, but I saw a young girl sitting by the moat, looking like she was going to die. The young girl is good-looking, with bright eyes and white teeth. Shang Changqing, but she is also in the upper middle. She was crying by the river. I have always been soft-hearted, and I hate the girl crying. She cried so pitifully, so I went to have a look and asked her if she met Something happened that couldn't be solved."

At that glance, it is incredible.

After all, what the girl is holding in her hand is the shrimp beard bracelet he gave to Li Qi.

He still remembers when he gave the shrimp beard bracelet to Li Qi, that guy was very happy, saying that he always wanted to give his sweetheart a jewelry from the Tibetan Golden Pavilion, but the old man at home was so greedy, his pocket money was not enough for drinking , How can you afford the jewelry in the Cangjin Pavilion?

Li Qi held the shrimp beard bracelet, hugged his arm and called brother, saying that when the lover finally gets married, the two brothers will have a good drink.

On the other side, he was still waiting for Li Qi to invite him to drink.Can't you just meet Li Qi's sweetheart here?

The world was so small that he couldn't believe it.

But that tearful girl is real.

Probably because he wanted to die, and he had no defense against him.

The girl sobbed and said: "This life is entrusted to no one, and I have no face to live in the world. I have no father or mother, and I only live with my uncle's family. But I also often make my uncle angry. If I die, my uncle will probably never die again." will be angry."

This is a heartbreaker.

Yang Silang has heard many sad stories in Fanghua Building, and he is willing to listen to them.

Thus, he found out about Ren Minling and Li Qi.

Yang Silang: "Ren Minling and Li Qi are irreconcilable contradictions. They are destined to be a tragedy."

Du Xiaoning did not deny this.

Du Xiaoning: "The relationship between them is destined to be a tragedy, but it doesn't mean that Ren Minling will pay the price with her life for this matter."

Yang Silang turned his head back, his eyes fell on Du Xiaoning, the expression on his face was still a bit ruffian, but his tone was a bit complicated, "I think so too, but she wants to die. You can't stop a person who wants to die, instead of It would be more valuable to stop her than let her die."

Du Xiaoning was stunned, her phoenix eyes looked at Yang Silang.

She had already guessed it in her heart, but she didn't want to believe it, "What, what?"

The smile on Yang Silang's face faded, and he said softly: "A Ning Bingxue is smart, you have already guessed the truth of the matter, why didn't you tell me?"

Du Xiaoning: ""

Du Xiaoning smiled helplessly, "I won't say it, because I don't want to be as ruthless as Shiro thinks."

"Naive." Yang Silang glanced at Du Xiaoning indifferently, "You and I live in the circle of Mr. Bianjing, under the desire for power, who would be truly affectionate? I am such a ruthless person."

Du Xiaoning folded her hands together, she looked down at her fingers, and said nothing.

Yang Silang is no longer a joke, "Ren Minling doesn't want to live anymore, but she doesn't want to die a worthless death either. In her short life of more than ten years, she hasn't done anything to make her parents look good, and she has ruined her boudoir's reputation and shamed her family. She I want to do something to make up for my mistakes. I told her that I know a woman who was deceived at her age. She has been trapped in a high-rise building, except for a moment of freedom when she does meritorious deeds. , usually a bird in a cage."

"The bird in the cage also wants to leave and find her own freedom, but no one helps her. I asked Ren Minling, she is not even afraid of death, is she afraid to write a book manuscript for herself and that girl?"

It was already dark.

The servants of the Yang Mansion came to the courtyard to light the lamps.

Red lanterns were hung in the courtyard, and in the flickering lights, Yang Silang was standing under the corridor, his face huge and half hidden in the shadows.

The answer is obvious, of course Ren Minling is not afraid.

She wrote the encounter between herself and Changqing into a manuscript and handed it to Mr. Zhang.

Changqing knew that Mr. Zhang Ren Minling knew was her elder brother, but Ren Minling didn't know that she was Mr. Zhang's "brother" who had been missing for many years.

Du Xiaoning: "It's your idea to write the manuscript, and it's Changqing's idea to hand over the manuscript to Mr. Zhang."

Yang Silang said "Hey", "You can think of this?No wonder Du Shangshu always liked to take you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. "

Du Xiaoning: ""

Du Xiaoning sighed, "Is this something difficult to guess? Since Ren Minling and Changqing have known each other, they are two people who have fallen into the world, you don't know me, I don't know you, and they have no scruples about talking about the past But for Ren Minling, Changqing is Changqing, not Zhang Qingyun. She told Changqing about herself and inadvertently revealed that she knew a Mr. Zhang Qingping from Chenzhou, which undoubtedly told Changqing directly. After she disappeared, her elder brother did not leave Bianjing. On the contrary, he exhausted all his money and lost his way, but he never gave up looking for her."

Yang Silang raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Du Xiaoning.

Du Xiaoning met his gaze and said softly, "You asked Ren Minling to write that manuscript because you wanted to plot against me."

"What kind of calculations are you talking about between me and you? What Aning said really hurt my heart." Yang Silang said carelessly, "Ren Minling wants to die. Although I don't persuade her, I don't like seeing dead people either. I asked her to write that book manuscript, but I just thought that your Baiwei Study Room has all kinds of strange stories, and adding another strange story for you would be the icing on the cake. She found a clear path, but she didn't trust me, she didn't give me the manuscript, but handed it to Zhang Qingping, and then she really jumped into the river."

Du Xiaoning slowly let out the breath that was stuck in her heart, and the tone was not sure whether it was pity or pity——

"It was Changqing who used Ren Minling behind your back."
