After wearing a book, he became the emperor's rival in love

Never get close to a man all your life?

Yu Zhou thought about this question for a while, with a troubled expression on his face.

After a long while, he looked at Pei Siyuan and asked, "If you can solve the case, I don't have to worry about this problem, do I? I'm still so young, and my life is so long, I don't want to..." He didn't want to do this Be a bachelor all your life.

"All right, for you..." Pei Siyuan paused, and said, "I will work hard to help Chen Xuan solve the case as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he put his hand on Yu Zhou's shoulder and said, "Go, I'll take you to a place."

"Where are you going?" Yu Zhou asked puzzled.

"Revisit the old place." Pei Siyuan said.

When Yu Zhou heard the words "revisiting the old place", his expression suddenly became a little complicated, and he also had some bad premonitions in his heart.

Sure enough, after a cup of tea, Pei Siyuan led him to the gate of Guiyu Tower.

"Why did you bring me here?" Yu Zhou blushed.

As soon as he came here, he remembered the experience of being captured by Pei Siyuan last time, and felt very embarrassed.

"I didn't bring you here to watch some young ladies dance." Pei Siyuan said, "Why, I don't want to come if I don't have fun with you?"

Yu Zhou's face turned red when he teased him, and he simply pursed his lips and remained silent.

Because of being involved in this case, Gui Yulou has now been ordered to close down.Although the person responsible for the crime has not been found out to be related to Guiyulou, but before the truth of the case is revealed, it may not be possible to return to normal here.

"Deputy Commander Pei, why are you here?" The steward of Gui Yulou saw Pei Siyuan, as if he had seen the living king of Hades, and immediately had a bitter face and wanted to kneel down to him.

"Come and take a look." Pei Siyuan swaggered into Guiyu Tower with Yu Zhou, and saw that it was quite quiet because there were no guests inside, "Where's that young lady who danced a few days ago?"

"Ah... Deputy Commander Pei wants to..." The steward didn't quite understand what he meant, and his tone was tentative.

"Bring him here, I want to meet him." Pei Siyuan said.

Hearing the words, the steward did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly brought over the young lady who was on the stage that day.

Yu Zhou had seen him once before, and the last time he looked at him from a distance, it wasn't real. Today, when he got closer, he was not as amazing as the first time he saw him.

But he thought about it, that day when the other party danced on the stage, he was naturally well-dressed, and now he only wore ordinary clothes when he didn't need to meet guests, and he suddenly looked like an ordinary man, and he didn't have the previous obsequiousness .

"My lord." Seeing Pei Siyuan and Yu Zhou, the young lady hurriedly saluted.

Pei Siyuan stared at him for a while, but didn't see why, so he turned to look at Yu Zhou.

At this moment, Yu Zhou was looking at the man in a daze, and Pei Siyuan's eyes seemed to be fascinated by that look.

Pei Siyuan frowned, coughed lightly, and Yu Zhou came back to his senses and looked away.

"Does it look good?" Pei Siyuan asked Yu Zhou after sending the young man away.

"It's okay." Yu Zhou said.

Hearing what he said, Pei Siyuan's expression suddenly became complicated.

"How long has this person been here?" Pei Siyuan asked the steward of Guiyulou.

"February is here, we have spent a lot of time training... for several months, but this month just came out to meet guests." The manager said.

Pei Siyuan glanced at him and said, "After waiting for so long, did you think someone would redeem him?"

"Hehe." The steward laughed dryly, and said, "To be honest, Deputy Commander Pei said that it has been half a year since last winter, and no one in the building has come to redeem anyone."

A trace of doubt flashed in Pei Siyuan's eyes, but he didn't say anything more, and led Yu Zhou out of Guiyu Tower.

"If you are that master, you..."

"I'm not the master!" Yu Zhou said hastily.

Pei Siyuan laughed and said, "I mean if, suppose!"

"Oh." Yu Zhou hurriedly said, "What if I were the master?"

"Why are you obsessed with making men pregnant?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Maybe because I like it." Yu Zhou said.

"Like?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"People are different. In the TV...books I read before, it was said that some people like dead people, others like people with disabilities, some people like to see people cry, some people like to be beaten, anyway, what do they like? Everyone has them." Yu Zhou said: "Master insists on making men pregnant, if it's not because he likes it, what else is it?"

Pei Siyuan also thought about this question, but he obviously didn't get a better answer.

"Why do you have such a strange preference?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"There are many wonders in the world. In fact, this kind of preference, if you love me, it's fine. If one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it doesn't matter to others." Yu Zhou said: "But if you force innocent people, that's too much. Hateful."

Pei Siyuan rarely saw righteous indignation on Yu Zhou's face, and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You're right."

It was rare for Yu Zhou to be praised by him, and he was a little uncomfortable, so he quickly avoided his sight.

"What do you like?" Pei Siyuan asked innocently.

"Me?" Yu Zhou thought for a while, then snapped his fingers and said, "I like tall, handsome, gentle, single-minded, and don't dislike my stupidity, treat me well..." He felt a little embarrassed when he said that, smiled awkwardly.

Hearing these conditions, Pei Siyuan sat down one by one, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I like?" Pei Siyuan pretended to be reserved.

"It's not easy for me to inquire about other people's affairs." Yu Zhou said.

Pei Siyuan had already prepared his words, but was choked back by his words, so angrily he raised his hand and rubbed Yu Zhou's head.

After the two returned home, Pei Siyuan took Yu Zhou to the study.

He asked Yu Zhou to grind the ink for him, while he found a new piece of paper and laid it on the desk.

Yu Zhou stood aside and watched curiously, and saw Pei Siyuan write several lines on the paper:

four years ago

ransomed, hermaphrodite, alive

three years ago

Redeem two people, hermaphrodite, one dead and one alive

Two years ago

Redeem four people, ordinary men, one dead, two missing, one alive

last year

Redemption of seven people, ordinary men, one missing, six alive

this year

None, and returned to Yulou in February to get an androgynous man, who has not been redeemed

"Is this everyone the master redeemed?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Yes." Pei Siyuan said: "He started to redeem people in Guiyulou four years ago, and at the beginning he only redeemed androgynous people." Pei Siyuan pointed to the first two lines on the paper, and said, "I guess I found this way later. If it doesn’t work, I’ll start redeeming ordinary young men in the third year.”

Yu Zhou pointed to the line two years ago, and asked, "A total of four people were redeemed this year, two were missing, one died, and only one is still alive?"

"The two missing people should be dead." Pei Siyuan said, "Master may have made that kind of medicine two years ago, but I don't know if it's not yet perfect, or something else happened. Two people died in a row."

Pei Siyuan drew a few circles on the paper. He has an excellent memory. After reading the files of Dali Temple, he remembered the order of the people who were redeemed.Judging from the time, the last two people who were redeemed two years ago both disappeared. To be precise, they should have died of testing drugs, but the corpses were handled relatively safely, so they haven't been found yet.

"But why among the seven people last year, six were alive and only one was missing." Yu Zhou said.

"Because his medicine improved after two people died in a row, none of the seven people died last year." Pei Siyuan said.

"But... last year one disappeared, is he still alive?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Do you still remember what the steward of Gui Yulou said?" Pei Siyuan was good at scribbling on the last line, and said, "Last year, the master ransomed a person almost every other month in order to test the medicine, but from last winter to now , After half a year, he didn't continue to redeem people."

Even if another androgynous young lady came to Guiyulou in February, the master remained silent.

"What does this mean?" Yu Zhou asked blankly.

"It means that the last person who disappeared last year succeeded." Pei Siyuan said.

"Success?" Yu Zhou still didn't understand.

"Successfully conceived and stabilized the fetus." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou was stunned, and then he came to his senses, and said, "Because the people who tried the medicine before him all failed, that's why he keeps redeeming people. In the end, this person succeeds, so there's no need to continue?"

"Yes." Pei Siyuan said: "This also explains why the two newly discovered corpses in Dali Temple were buried so hastily."

Yu Zhou didn't understand after hearing this, and asked, "He succeeded, why did he act rashly?"

Pei Siyuan was amused by his stupid look, and said: "Because he succeeded, he was careless and didn't continue to restrain these people. He didn't make these two corpses, or he didn't make them directly. It was the buyer who he used to redeem someone in the name before, and he accidentally killed him."

Otherwise, with the master's cautious temperament, it is impossible to let the corpse be buried hastily to reveal flaws.

Yu Zhou suddenly realized what he said, and said to Pei Siyuan, "You are so smart!"

Pei Siyuan was praised by him and almost laughed out loud.

"I understand the rest, the master succeeded...but... the two corpses two days ago, have something to do with this?" Yu Zhou asked, "Didn't it say that there was a corpse with a child in its belly? ?”

Pei Siyuan's eyes fell on the paper for a moment, then he got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Dali Temple again."

Hearing the words, Yu Zhou hurriedly followed him, and couldn't help showing a bit of "worship" in his gaze towards Pei Siyuan.

If Pei Siyuan hadn't cared about teasing him, he would definitely find a place in front of Yu Zhou right now.

The two went to Dali Temple, and Pei Siyuan ordered his assistant to re-examine the first corpse.

"Cut open his stomach to see if there is a fetus inside." Pei Siyuan said.

"Ah?" Chen Xuan was puzzled, "You have a new discovery?"

"A guess, not necessarily right." Pei Siyuan said.

Afterwards, he took advantage of the re-examination of the autopsy to explain his thoughts to Chen Xuan.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Chen Xuan slapped his forehead and said.

"It was Yu Sheren who reminded me." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou was surprised when he heard this, obviously he didn't remember how he reminded Pei Siyuan.

"You said that some people like dead people, some people like being beaten, and the master just likes to make men pregnant, and he doesn't even care who the pregnant people are." Pei Siyuan said: "I only thought about him or had this hobby before. , but didn’t think deeply about it.”

"It was only after you said that that I realized that if this preference is so important to him, there is no reason for him to suddenly stop redeeming people since last winter." Pei Siyuan said: "The only explanation can only be that he succeeded gone."

Because it was successful, there was no need to continue to redeem new young ladies from Guiyulou.

While everyone was talking, Wu Zuo came to report.

Sure enough, signs of pregnancy were also found in the belly of the first corpse.

It was only because of his flat stomach that Wu Zuo didn't notice it before.

And the person has been dead for a long time, if you don't have a laparotomy, it is difficult to find out that there is still a mystery hidden in his belly.

"Is it possible that the cause of death of these two people is not what you speculated earlier?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Yes." Wu Zuo hurriedly said: "I speculated that way before, only because the two people did not have fatal trauma to their bodies, and there were no signs of poisoning or suffocation, and combined with Yan Xing's own confession, I came to the previous conclusion. Conclusion. But now that I think about it carefully, their deaths may have something to do with the unborn fetus.”

Stillborn, one dead and two dead.

"Can you guess when the two of them were pregnant?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"One day is a little longer, more than three months, and one day is a little shorter, about two months." Wu Zuo thought for a while, and said: "Adding the time of their death, it is estimated that one was conceived at the end of February, One is mid-March."

Yu Zhou looked at Pei Siyuan, and asked, "Master, if it was successful last winter, why did you have to test the medicine again in February and March?"

"He didn't let people test the medicine, he wanted people who had the same preferences to try it after he was satisfied." Pei Siyuan sneered: "He is already crazy, knowing that it might go wrong, but he still did it .”

Hearing this, Chen Xuan said to his subordinates: "Go and arrest all the people who were redeemed in Guiyu Tower, and invite Imperial Physicians Zhang and Imperial Physician Qin from the Imperial Hospital to come over." The young man who was still alive after coming out might have gotten a pill.

It's just that I don't know how many people, like Yan Xing, really gave medicine to the young lady in his family.

"Those young men who are still alive have been given medicine?" Yu Zhou asked in surprise.

"Not necessarily." Pei Siyuan said: "If his medicine was successful last year, then those who failed to try the medicine last year should not be given the medicine again, because they have already tried it. They are more likely to get this medicine." The people who planted the medicine were those people a few years ago, because the medicine hadn’t been fully produced at that time.”

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "It makes sense, the two corpses found this time are the people who were redeemed two years ago and three years ago."

Everyone waited in Dali Temple for less than an hour, and the living young men were brought over one after another.

Unexpectedly, after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, none of these people showed signs of pregnancy.

Chen Xuan asked people to interrogate them one by one, and they all said that they hadn't been drugged recently.

What was even more unexpected was that some of these people even made a fuss in the yamen, begging Chen Xuan to let their master go back quickly.Of course, the master in their mouth is not the "master", but the buyer who raised them after they were redeemed.

Because these people borrowed their identities to redeem people for the master, they are now being held in the cell of Dali Temple.

"I don't know whether to say they are unfortunate or lucky." Chen Xuan sighed and said, "They were redeemed from Guiyu Tower by the master. Although they tried the medicine, they escaped a catastrophe. Some even had feelings for the current Patriarch."

Pei Siyuan said: "They don't know the truth about it. As far as they are concerned, as long as life is better now than in Guiyulou, they have no intention of worrying about other things."

Just after Chen Xuan sent people to send these people back, some of his subordinates came down to report that the young lady in Cheng's mansion was seriously ill and couldn't come to bed.

"Is he the only one missing?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Yes, I have summoned everything else." Chen Xuan said.

Pei Siyuan thought for a while, and said: "The Cheng family, if I remember correctly, is the only one who is still alive among the four people redeemed two years ago."

"It's him." Chen Xuan flipped through the case file and said.

"Please trouble Imperial Doctor Zhang to accompany me to Cheng's Mansion." Pei Siyuan said.

After hearing the words, Chen Xuan understood what was going on, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare chariots and horses.

But Yu Zhou didn't know why, until he was brought into the carriage by Pei Siyuan, he was still confused.

Everyone went to Cheng's mansion, and Pei Siyuan ordered the imperial physician Zhang to take the pulse of the seriously ill young man.

After a long while, Doctor Zhang came out of the room, sighed and said: "There is a pregnancy that is less than three months old, and the fetus died in the womb."

"Ah?" Yu Zhou was surprised: "Miscarriage?"

"It's worse than this." Doctor Zhang said: "He is a man, and his body is different from that of a woman. Now that he is pregnant with drugs, after the fetus in his abdomen dies, he cannot expel the stillbirth like a woman who has a miscarriage. ..."

"So how?" Yu Zhou asked.

"I can't help it. My lord will die too soon." Doctor Zhang said.

Yu Zhou's first thought was, did he need an operation to remove the stillborn fetus?

But he immediately realized that this was ancient times and no surgery was possible.

So the stillborn baby was trapped in the little boy's body, just like...

The previous two corpses are the same!

"So I guessed right." Pei Siyuan said: "Master at least sent medicine to these few buyers in the first few years, but someone didn't give medicine to the young lady at home."

He went over the page in his mind, and said to the person: "Go to Chen Shaoqing, tell him that the two young men who were alive three and four years ago, the owner of the family may have received the medicine, but it was useless. Let him be tortured by his words and deeds, and must ask about the whereabouts of the medicine, if it is impossible, go to Lord Yu and borrow his dog to help, must find the medicine."

He wanted to see what kind of strange medicine could produce such a big moth.

"Hey, what a crime." Doctor Zhang shook his head, and said, "This Cheng, who has tossed people like this, is now in prison again. The young man in the family is about to die and there is no one to take care of him."

Yu Zhou stopped walking when he heard this, and couldn't help but look back at the small courtyard behind him.

He has always been timid and afraid of many things, but what he fears most is death.

Even if I have experienced it, I am still terribly afraid.

He thought, the little girl inside should also know that he is about to die, right?

"I..." Yu Zhou reached out and tugged at Pei Siyuan's sleeve, and asked, "Can I go and see him?"

Pei Siyuan nodded when he heard the words, and said, "I'll be with you."

The two entered the room together, and found that the light inside was a little dim, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.

Pei Siyuan went to the window and opened it, while Yu Zhou found a fire pocket and lit the oil lamp in the house.

"Who are you?" A man's voice came from the couch.

Yu Zhou was startled, and followed Pei Siyuan to the side of the couch, only then did he see clearly that there was a young man in his 20s lying on it.

The young man's complexion was pale, and his appearance was not particularly outstanding, but he was pleasing to the eye.

Yu Zhou looked at him and felt a little sore in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

There was nothing he could do to save this man's life, after all, even Doctor Zhang said there was nothing he could do.

But facing a dying person, he really didn't know how to comfort him.

Language seems too pale at this time.

"Are you from Dali Temple?" the young man asked.

Yu Zhou glanced at Pei Siyuan, then nodded hesitantly.

"Can you do me a favor?" asked the youth.

"Okay, tell me." Yu Zhou said.

"When the person who killed me is dead, can you go to my grave and tell me?" The young man said, "If I don't have a grave, you can go to the mass grave and tell me that the lonely ghost will send me a message." It's also possible."

Yu Zhou felt sore when he heard the words, nodded his head hurriedly, and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you." The young man smiled at him and said, "Young master, you will be blessed."

Yu Zhou's eyes turned red when he heard this, he saluted him, then turned and left.

Pei Siyuan followed behind Yu Zhou and said, "Don't worry, I will let Chen Xuan send someone to take care of him until he..."

"Yeah." Yu Zhou sniffed and didn't speak again.

After a while, when both of them left Cheng's mansion, Yu Zhou calmed down a little.

"Will you catch Master?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Yes." Pei Siyuan didn't tease him this time, and answered simply.

Yu Zhou nodded when he heard the words, and seemed to have a lot to say to Pei Siyuan, but held back.

Thinking about it carefully, although Pei Siyuan looked confused, in fact everything he did was reliable.

Just like at this moment, when Pei Siyuan said yes, Yu Zhou believed it without any doubt.

He didn't even know when he had developed a blind trust in Pei Siyuan.

After a while, Yu Zhou looked at Pei Siyuan, and said a little embarrassedly: "After the master is brought to justice, can you accompany me to go to the grave of that young master just now?"

As if he was afraid that Pei Siyuan would disagree, he whispered again: "I'm a little scared to go to the cemetery alone."

Pei Siyuan was still gloomy at first, but when he saw Yu Zhou like this, his heart immediately softened.

At that moment, he suddenly wanted to hold his younger brother Yu Xian in his arms and rub it.
