The spring breeze is proud to enter the treasure building

"I bet three taels of silver that Shu Qingxiu killed the person." He Zhanpeng squatted on the ground holding a teacup, watching Wang Yingxiong draw.

Zhang Qing was knocking melon seeds on the stone bench, and said with a sneer, "It's a fool who bet with you. Ma Bulao has already experienced it, and the powder used by Shu Qingxiu is exactly the same as that used by Liu Jisheng. There is no evidence of his alibi that night." , not to mention that he also admitted that he had just quarreled with Liu Jisheng, and it is likely that he killed him by mistake in a moment of anger."

Wang Yingxiong drew a turtle on the sand with a branch, without raising his head, he said in a muffled voice, "It's not him."

He Zhanpeng coaxed him, "Why not him?"

Wang Yingxiong said, "Shu Qingxiu is not a small foot, and he did not leave those footprints."

He Zhanpeng nodded and thought, "It makes sense."

Zhao Lian came over, "Could it be that, when Shu Qingxiu saw Liu Jisheng with a woman, he became murderous?"

Wang Yingxiong looked at him strangely, "Shu Qingxiu saw Liu Jisheng with a woman, why did he kill him? He also likes that woman?"

Zhao Lian hesitated, "Hmm... Maybe he's jealous."

Zhang Qingdao, "It's unlikely, that Liu Jisheng...is just a Shu Qingxiu who has lost her head. Where can I find another woman who is also lost her head." Brother you know the kind of eyes.

He Zhanpeng coughed heavily, and took out a small ingot of silver from his arms, "Little hero, since you are so sure, why don't we take a gamble, and if you win, the silver will be yours."

Wang Yingxiong finished drawing the turtle's four feet, looked up at the silver in his hand, and seemed a little moved, "I have no money to lose to you."

"It's okay, I don't want your money if you lose. How about you help me watch the fruit stand for a year?"

"You even want to take advantage of the child, can you be more promising?"

"I'm willing to bet...that's fair enough..."

He Zhanpeng suddenly jumped up like a frightened rabbit, "Hey, Mr. Song, you are here."

Zhang Qing and Zhao Lian had moved aside, and were sitting opposite each other, picking vegetables seriously.

Zhang Qing said, "This cabbage is more delicious if it is stewed rotten."

Zhao Lian said, "Keep all the vegetables."

Wang Yingxiong rolled his eyes, moved a step away from them, and continued to draw.

Children will definitely be taken badly!

"You all have a lot of free time," Lu Jiu said indifferently.

He Zhanpeng squeezed his small triangular eyes to Zhang Qing and Zhao Lian, and made a two in his sleeve. "No, no, we're discussing the case. We're busy."

Zhang Qing and Zhao Lian nodded quickly, "That's right." He Zhanpeng didn't have a chance to earn the two coins of Master He's book every day.

"Oh? The case?" Lu Jiu smiled coldly, "Why don't I know what else to discuss about this case... Where is Xiao Su?"

"Master Song went to prison, and he said he wanted to see Shu Qingxiu." He Zhanpeng emphasized the word look.

The case went quite smoothly, and the witnesses and evidence were all motivated.Except for that line of Takeshita's footprints, there is no loophole.

Lu Jiuhan even suspected that if he really made a fuss about those footprints, a charming girl would jump out of the stone and admit that she was in love with a poor scholar, and she accidentally ran into it for Shu Qingxiu, so she fell in love with her Sea vinegar and sea generate waves, just like what Zhao Lian said.

"My lord, my lord..." Ma Bulao ran in in a gust of wind, "Someone sent a plaque."

"What plaque?"

"A plaque hung high in the mirror."

Lu Jiuhan stood in front of the steps, looking at the plaque with his hands behind his back.

The plaque painted with gold on a black background was covered with red and hanging colors, and was sent to the Yanbei County Yamen surrounded by dozens of teenagers.The leader was a miserable young man, who cupped his fists, "Everyone, a few days ago, our master was murdered by others, and Mr. Song has already captured the real culprit for us. Now we specially made this plaque to express our respect to you. gratitude."

He clapped his hands, and someone brought a volume of books to him.The young man took it, raised his hands above his head, and held it in front of Lu Jiuhan, "This volume of Analects contains an article on persuasion written jointly by us, and I gave it to you as a token of our gratitude."

Lu Jiuhan motioned for Wang Yingxiong to take it, this young man was obviously more calm than the last time.

The young man made a long obeisance and said goodbye, "Master of the Ministry of Rites has recently arrived in Zhaobei County, a hundred miles away, and we have also co-authored an article on encouraging learning, which has been entrusted to the postman to send it to honor the Song Dynasty. My lord, Gao Yi."

Lu Jiu thanked him with a cold smile, his black eyes sank imperceptibly.Move it with fame, confuse it with profit, the twins ambushed and killed in the plate, someone wants a general.

Who can't but this Shu Qingxiu?

The daytime sun seemed to be unable to shine in this prison cell, leaving only a few pale shadows on the wall.

Shu Qingxiu sat on the ground, pulling a straw in his hand.

Since he was imprisoned yesterday, he has been in such a carefree appearance, no matter who asks him, he will not answer.

"This place is simple, I have neglected Mr. Shu." The person opposite him sat on the floor like him, and there were several dishes and a pot of wine between them, "Please do what you want, sir. I can't see, so I won't bring food for you." gone."

Shu Qingxiu raised his head.

The man was sitting in the shadows, with a lantern lit beside him, his figure seemed to be covered with a layer of virtual light.

As soon as the man came in, he lit the lantern, which turned out to be for him.

Seeing him looking up, the man smiled, "My name is Song Xiaosu, and I am the master of the Yanbei County Government. If Mr. Shu wants to, you can call me Xiaosu."

"I don't have anything to say." I didn't speak for a day and a night, and suddenly spoke, the voice was not like my own.

Su Muhua's eyes are clear and gentle, "I'm not here to ask questions. I'm here to invite Mr. Shu to drink, in order to thank Mr. Shu for a sword dance next month."

Shu Qingxiu's eyes turned cold, and he looked into his eyes.

Su Muhua raised his head slightly, wearing an apricot-yellow spring shirt, even smiling gently.

"My eyes are not blind for a period of time every day. On the night when I first came to Yanbei a few days ago, I accidentally ran into Mr. Shu's sword dance in the sand dunes outside the city. That sword dance is full of emotions, even though I am in Jianghu. People, I also feel that the young master is deeply impressed by the subtlety of the sword. I still don’t forget it, but I don’t know what song the young master is dancing?”

Shu Qingxiu said, "The sword is completely off."

Su Muhua clapped his hands and sighed, "50 years seems to have turned the palm of your hand, and the royal family has been stunned by the wind and dust. Aunt Gongsun's sword dance has been handed down for thousands of years, so it is so elegant."

For the next few days, Su Muhua came every day at noon to drink a pot of wine with Shu Qingxiu, and they didn't talk about anything else, only about sword dancing.

In the past ten years, Shu Qingxiu has met people like Su Muhua several times.Although Su Muhua is not good at dancing, he is a person who knows swords, and his views on sword intent often amaze Shu Qingxiu.

The two gradually became acquainted.

On this day, Su Muhua said casually, "Brother Shu, I see that your sword spirit is free and easy, and when I get along with you these few days, I see that you are also the character of a modest gentleman. That Liu Jisheng doesn't know your heart, and it is ridiculous to say that you are greedy for money .”

Shu Qingxiu was silent for a long time and said, "He's not wrong... I really don't want to lose my face for money."

The spring breeze blows the treetops, the sun shines down from the shades of greenery, and the two sit opposite each other under the tree.

Su Muhua holds Baizi and plays against Lu Jiuhan.He played blind chess, Lu Jiuleng reported the chess move, Su Muhua memorized it by heart, and made another move.Although he has extensive knowledge and strong memorization, his chess strength has been somewhat compromised, and he just happened to be inseparable from Lu Jiuhan.

Lu Jiu lowered his hands and said with a smile, "I received a report from the residence today, saying that the adults from the Ministry of Rites will come here in the future to personally meet the students who submitted the letter."

Su Muhua said, "Plaque, write a letter...someone wants to force you to cut off Shu Qingxiu."

"Xiao Su, you have been looking for Shu Qingxiu every day for the past few days, what have you gained?"

"Shu Qingxiu said something today."

"what?"

"It's true that he doesn't even want to lose his face for money."

Lu Jiuhan thought for a while, and said, "Should we find out who Shu Qingxiu has been in contact with on a daily basis? Maybe it was some admirer of his who shot the murderer."

"I've had someone check it out. Apart from his younger brother, Shu Qingxiu doesn't seem to have any relatives, and I don't see any friends on weekdays. But I heard that Shu Qingxiu doesn't sell anyone's account, even the dragon of the Tianmeng. Tao even gave him some face."

"I want to make a decisive decision today. Some people want Shu Qingxiu to die... we might as well give them a dead Shu Qingxiu, and see what tricks we can play next."

Yanbei border city is located in a remote area, banditry is rampant, and most of the people in the city are uneducated, so the court gave Yanbei county government the authority to make decisions.Bai Ding, who has no official status, does not need to report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for approval, nor does he have to wait for the autumn judgment.As long as it is submitted for the record afterwards, the evidence is conclusive.

Shu Qingxiu, who was cold and cold to Lu Jiu, was naturally not really dead.

Su Muhua picked up a chess piece with his fingertips and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Put Shu Qingshou in prison, with the ready-made bait, just slowly catch the fish and take the bait."

"The Ministry of Rites, Ye Wenyan, said that in the future, Shu Qingxiu's life and death may not be under my control."

Su Muhua choked, "You mean Ye Wenyan?"

"That's right, the new Head of the Sixth Grade Ritual Department said that he was strongly recommended by the prince, and also served as the prince's young teacher..." Lu Jiuleng saw that Su Muhua dropped a piece on the plate, "Hey, you placed my sunspot."

Su Muhua said coldly, "I'm blind, and I can't see black and white."

"Sir Song...the word came from the prison that Shu Qingxiu said that he is willing to plead guilty." Ma Bulao hurried into the backyard.

Lu Jiu said coldly, "Oh? Why did Shu Qingxiu suddenly change his mind? Has anyone seen him today?"

Ma Bulao said, "Since the lord gave the order, brother has been paying attention. Zhang Qing is watching today, and no one except Xiao Su came to visit him in prison. Oh, it's still the same as the previous few days. In the afternoon, his stupid brother came Went there and didn't say anything."

"Mighty..." Amid the sound of ascension to the hall, the gate of Yanbei County Yamen was opened, and a group of idlers poured in.

Lu Jiuhan sat under the upright plaque, looking at Shu Qingxiu who was kneeling below.

He is the body to be punished, the crown of hair is removed, and the loose hair covers the black marks on his cheeks.Shu Qingxiu, who has washed all the lead, has a pale face like fine porcelain.He was wearing a large dark prison uniform, and his shoulders were so thin that they could barely be held.

"Shu Qingxiu, why are you suddenly willing to plead guilty?" Lu Jiu slammed the gavel coldly, "Say, who instigated it, and who did you wear it for?"

Shu Qingxiu's voice was very steady, calm as if he had seen through life and death, "No, it's just that I was thinking about it, and I owed my life to pay my life, and I don't want to evade any more denials."

"Oh? Shu Qingxiu, we found a line of footprints under the bamboo, which seems to be left by a woman. Then let me ask you, what woman did Liu Jisheng have a relationship with? Is there any hidden secret in this case?"

Shu Qingxiu said, "My lord, I left those footprints in order to distract my sight."

"Lie! Your man's footprints are completely wrong with that one."

Shu Qingxiu suddenly smiled and said, "My lord, Shu Qingxiu grew up in the Liyuan since childhood. Not to mention the footprints of women, even dancing in the palm of a flying swallow, I can do it too."

Lu Jiulen was silent for a moment, "Shu Qingxiu, I will ask you one last time, where were you the night Liu Jisheng died?"

"I killed Liu Jisheng, so I was naturally at his home that night."

Lu Jiu looked at him coldly and smiled, "Shu Qingxiu, since you want to die so much, I'll make it happen for you."

He stretched out his hand to grasp the command arrow, and said slowly, "On March [-], the eighth year of Yongjing, Shu Qingxiu murdered Liu Jisheng. The criminal confessed and was sentenced to be executed tomorrow. Let him sign it!"

"My lord, wait a minute, that night, Shu Qingxiu was with me."

The person who strode into the door was dressed in a black brocade robe and black light armor, and his movements were like the wind.

Lu Jiu saw this man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes coldly. He was not angry but mighty. It was different from the murderous aura of people in the Jianghu, but the evil aura that had been experienced in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Who are you?"

The man clasped his fists and said, "My next son, Sun Sheng, I met Mr. Song."

Lu Jiuhan was slightly taken aback. Sun Sheng, the head of the sixth-grade sect Qian, was temporarily ordered to guard Yanbei.Although Sun Sheng's military rank is not high, he is in charge of Fei Yuqi under the command of King Yan, and he can be said to be the No. 1 under his command.

King Yan sent No.1 under his command to Yanbei, what was he plotting?

If Sun Sheng was entrusted by King Yan, how could he be involved in Shu Qingxiu's case?

Lu Jiuhan cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that Mr. Sun Qian, please come and watch."

Sun Sheng said, "No need, Master Song, Shu Qingxiu was in my residence that night, since he was not there, naturally he cannot be the murderer."

Lu Jiu snorted and asked, "Then can I ask Mr. Sun Qian why Shu Qingxiu is in your house?"

Shu Qingxiu suddenly raised his voice, "Master Song, he lied. I was at Liu Jisheng's house that night, and I did kill him."

Lu Jiuleng raised his eyebrows to look at Sun Sheng, thinking that this would be interesting.

Sun Sheng's eyes fell on Shu Qingxiu, suppressing his anger, he said in a deep voice, "Master Song, Shu Qingxiu is mine. He came to look for me that night, we... fish and water, he stayed until midnight just left."

Shu Qingxiu knelt on the ground, her body trembled slightly, and her hands were clenched under her clothes.

As soon as Sun Sheng finished speaking, the people watching the trial were already talking about it.

Lu Jiuhan listened to the commotion in his ears, and knocked on the startled wooden door, "Since Mr. Sun Qian is willing to testify, there are many doubts in this case, and the trial will be postponed."

Sun Sheng laughed, "Master Song, didn't you hear that just now? Shu Qingxiu is mine, and I will take him away no matter what. I have already brought dozens of elite soldiers to surround the county government office. How about Master Song? What are you going to use to stop me?"

What did Lu Jiuhan use to stop him?He didn't intend to stop at all, he watched the farce end with a smile.

Su Muhua seemed to be absent-minded, not even half a smile.

Regardless of Shu Qingxiu's struggle, Sun Sheng carried him onto the horse and walked across the sandy streets of Yanbei.

"Snapped-"

Shu Qingxiu sat on the bed and threw Sun Sheng's hand away.

"Sun Sheng, what are you doing?"

"Qingxiu, I can't watch you court death."

Shu Qingxiu tilted his head and sneered, "Forcing me to no longer have a foothold in Yanbei, and I can only be under your protection from now on? How is this different from asking me to die?"

Sun Sheng circled him and said with a smile, "Shu Qingxiu, do you still remember our agreement?"

"I provide you with water, protect your goods across the desert, and you give me yourself. You said that you don't care about your sincerity. Then I said the same thing today. I don't care what you think..."

Sun Sheng suddenly clasped his chin, squeezed it tightly, looked at Shu Qingxiu, and did not hide the lust in his eyes, "Anyway, you are mine."

The red silk curtain beside the bed flutters with the wind, like a fall of red in the evening of spring.

Shu Qingxiu struggled and bit Sun Sheng's shoulder hard, blood seeping into his jaw.

A pair of strong hands grasped his white back, and he turned over and pressed him back to the soft bed.

The shadow of the sun moved westward little by little, elongating the tightly entangled figures, and breaking the haze all over the place.

I don't know how long it took, the panting gradually quieted down.

Outside the curtain, the lights are already dusk.

Sun Sheng put on his clothes and stood up, looking sideways at Shu Qingxiu's sleeping face.

Shu Qingxiu's eyes are slender and slender, and the corners of her eyes have a coquettish thin red after experiencing love affairs.

This person must have cried under him just now.

Sun Sheng stretched out his hands to gather his sweaty hair behind his ears, and gently traced the outline of the black marks on Shu Qingxiu's cheeks with his fingers.

In the slightly cool night, the vague silhouette that falls in the eyes is not hideous, like the spread wings of a night butterfly.

Why don't you confess to me? You also care a little bit about me.Yes or no?
