Weicheng snow

Hua Shenchi slowly walked out of the shadows, the black gauze and robe on the bamboo hat were blown by the night wind, just stood there, lifeless, completely unaware that he was a living person.The killer looked at Hua Shenchi for a moment, before he understood, "The living dead...I thought it wasn't a paradise, an ancient tomb, a seal or something, so I wouldn't encounter such a monster...I underestimated the enemy. It's..."

The killer closed his eyes, raised his neck, and put on a posture of wanting to kill and obeying.Seeing it, Zhao Yu scolded rather disgustingly, "No one is going to kill you, let me ask you, do you still remember the promise the Yue family made when they were loyal to the royal family?"

The killer opened his eyes when he heard the words, and his eyes were shining brightly, as if he heard a wolf howling, "I will never forget it until I die."

Zhao Yu nodded in satisfaction, took out the decree from the killer's arms, and presented it to him, "Have you ever doubted that the decree might be forged?" What did you say?" Zhao Yu sighed and struggled, "I suspect, the national teacher, if you want to rebel..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, even Hua Shenchi was a little unbelievable, needless to say Yi Qingchen was surprised.

The killer was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and finally said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Yu raised his hands and rubbed his temples, and said with a headache, "From the beginning to the end, you only received orders through the national teacher, which is very strange in itself, haven't you ever suspected it?" He should also have doubts.

Zhao Yu then said, "This old man has always been dissatisfied with His Majesty's love for the Eldest Princess, and tried his best to drag the Princess into the water. He seems to have colluded with forces for a long time. His Majesty always thought that at most it would only be a court dispute. …”

"If he dares to put His Majesty under house arrest and use the power of the Yue family without authorization... I have to wonder if he was also behind the scenes when the shark beads were stolen more than ten years ago..."

Zhao Yu's words shocked everyone present, the most shocking one was Yi Qingchen.He originally thought that everything from the theft of the Shark Pearl to the assassination in Jiangling was all a conspiracy planned by the Marrow Sect, and he was just a scapegoat who had no backing or ability and was carefully selected by them to bear the crime.

But Zhao Yu's words made him discover another possibility. If the national teacher was involved with the Marrow Sect, then it would be no surprise that the shark beads were stolen from the heavily guarded palace more than ten years ago without leaving a trace. impossible.The national teacher wants to kill the eldest princess, covets the throne, and joins forces with the Marrow Sect to invade the Central Plains... In this way, everything makes sense.

"But in the end, this is just your guess, and the decree is clearly written in black and white. How can I trust you?" The killer is also very sober, "The Fenghua Xueyue family has always acted according to the will."

Zhao Yu frowned when he heard the words, "Can't you pass the book back to the Yue family in the imperial city and ask them to check it out?"

The killer shrugged his shoulders, expressing helplessness, "People in the Yue family are very indifferent, and the members of the family only rely on the patriarch's papers to do things, and you are my first task since I came to the Central Plains. , how can there be a foundation for standing in the future?"

The Yue family refused to help, so Zhaoyu had to figure out a solution on his own. During this period, Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi went around the house and were shocked by the bloody scene in the house. Both He Gu and her mother were hacked to death. The blood seeped all over the ground, and the blood had solidified at the moment, and the corpse lay crookedly on it, the original color of the clothes could no longer be seen, both eyes were open, and they were dying.

Hua Shenchi squatted down to examine the corpse, Yi Qingchen felt uncomfortable looking at it, so he stood at the door without going in, turned to look at the killer lying on the ground, "Why did you kill them?"

The killer was accustomed to saying, "The purpose of the decree is to transfer the crime of stealing shark pearls to Yi Baixue. You came to this village before I came here. With so many witnesses, you can't argue with it."

Yi Qingchen's heart sank, he looked into the room guiltily, and silently closed his eyes.

Zhao Yu heard it, and couldn't bear to listen any longer, "Wouldn't you feel a little bit of self-blame for implicating innocent people in the water?" The killer didn't take it seriously, "Why do you think the Yue family climbed to this position? Why do you raise so many killers? Others are nothing, but we dare to kill even our blood relatives..."

"Where did you hide the ghost-faced gentleman?" Yi Qingchen didn't want to listen to the killer's cruel remarks, he was afraid that he couldn't help but beat the killer to death.The killer blinked when he heard the words, and was stunned for a long time, looked at Zhao Yu, then at Yi Qingchen, and then asked in confusion, "Is that woman in red one of yours?"

No. [-] figure appeared out of nowhere, and Yi Qingchen felt very headache when he heard it. The headache was not only the complexity of this case, but through this case, he saw the huge context behind the so-called "blaming" murder case, involving Countless forces were involved, and even the imperial power of the country and the lives of countless people were involved.

Overtly and secretly, how many people are still involved in this murder?

Yi Qingchen felt very confused.

Zhao Yu lifted the killer's collar and asked, "What kind of woman in red, please explain clearly!"

The killer was tormented by Hua Shenchi's drug so powerless to fight back, he could only let Zhao Yu lift himself up and fall to the ground, but he was not very angry, he just thought it was a little funny, "So it's not from you guys!" , that would be interesting."

In the description of the killer, when he was welcomed into the house by Hong Gu from the main entrance, he killed the father and daughter very neatly. Behind the room, I found a woman in a red dress standing beside the bed.He wanted to kill that woman together, but the woman only moved her fingers a little, and made a piano sound out of thin air, and he lost his mind. When he came back to his senses, there was no trace of anyone in the house anymore. I don't know how long I've been in a daze.

Zhao Yu didn't dare to listen easily, but she didn't dare not to believe it.But Yi Qingchen believed it, especially when the killer mentioned the word "Qin Yin", Yi Qingchen vaguely had a guess.

He thought for a moment, then called Hua Shenchi out of the house, and asked Hua Shenchi to feed the killer a poison that would not kill him immediately.The killer was not afraid of death. After swallowing the poison, he asked Yi Qingchen with a smile, "What do you mean?" harmed me."

The killer sneered, shook his head, and said with a helpless smile, "The killer of the Yue family can sacrifice his own life in order to achieve his goal. I am not afraid of death, but you are lucky, right now I still have something that I want to see again , so I won't attack you again for the time being."

Yi Qingchen didn't know how to answer this sentence, so he simply ignored this person, turned his head and said to Zhao Yu, "Let the arrester guarding Honggu's house take charge of this case, you and us Let's go back to the inn together, I have something to say to you..."

Zhaoyu looked at Yuexiayi Qingchen's slightly tired eyes, and felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, like when Yi Baixue said "I want to take away the Yulang crown" in the palace of the eldest princess more than ten years ago. , is such a look.

Zhao Yu panicked for no reason, "Should you stop doing stupid things?"

Yi Qingchen was stunned for a moment, he did have the idea of ​​going to the capital to fight the national teacher to the death for a moment, but he knew it was unrealistic and futile, so he gave up quickly, he wanted to fight with Zhaoyu It's about nightmares and real ghosts.

He secretly felt that the woman in the red dress who took away the ghost-faced gentleman should have something to do with Zhenzhen, because Zhenzhen had promised him before that he would find another person to take her place.The woman in the red skirt can not only appear out of thin air, but also pluck the strings in the air. This is not a realm that ordinary humans can achieve.

If it was not entrusted by Zhenzhen, why would such an inhuman existence intervene in these matters?

Yi Qingchen's heart was in a mess, he only confessed his plan to Zhao Yu, and then felt his head hurt out of thin air, and he even staggered a little with his steps, Hua Shenchi hurriedly supported him, reached out and touched Yi Qingchen. Chen's head, "burned..."

Yi Qingchen put his head on Hua Shenchi's chest, sighed lightly, and said indifferently, "I have such a weak physique, I can't change it, just sleep for one night..."

Zhaoyu felt that the dew was heavy in the middle of the night, and it would not be a problem to stand at the scene of the murder and let Yi Qingchen blow the wind, so he dragged the killer who was lying on the ground to Honggu's house, but the killer stared straight at Yi Qingchen and Hua The two of Shen Chi, being dragged away by Chaoyu, yelled, "Hey, is this the Duanxiu you people in the Central Plains call?"

Zhao Yu immediately slapped him on the head, "Shut up!" He dragged him to look for a few police officers who were guarding in front of Hong Gu's house, explained some things about He Gu, and led the police officers back. He Gu's family, in this way, the murder case of Nomura was handed over to the Jiangling Yamen.

Zhaoyu got some free time, and was about to ask Yi Qingchen what he was going to say to him, but found that Yi Qingchen had fallen asleep in Hua Shenchi's arms during the time he went to Honggu's house.

The expression on Hua Shenchi's face seemed to be a little guilty, Zhao Yu frowned, and was wondering whether to wake him up to discuss business, but when he saw Yi Qingchen's frowning even though he was asleep, he felt helpless. Sighing, he waved to Hua Shenchi, and said softly, "Hold him, let's go back."

On the way back to the inn, Zhao Yu released the killer, because he had the poison planted by Hua Chenchi in his body, if he dared to make a fuss again, Hua Shenchi could take his life at any time, the killer had no problem with the two. The person's sudden grace-like behavior did not show much surprise, on the contrary, he consciously hugged the two of them to express his gratitude, and left gracefully.

During this period, no sound was made to disturb Yi Qingchen's sleep.

After the killer's figure disappeared into the night, Zhao Yu gave Hua Shenchi a meaningful look. Hua Shenchi lowered his eyes silently, tightly holding Yi Qingchen's hands, and entered Jiangling City.

A long dream that has been absent for a long time. In the dream, it is no longer a boundless sea of ​​tranquility, nor a green hill and bamboo forest, but a room with cool colors and full of costumes.In front of the dim bronze mirror, one person is sitting and the other is standing.

The man sitting was painting his eyebrows and eyes with a pen, and the man standing was wearing a thin inner lining, coughing from time to time, keeping his gaze on the bronze mirror, and said worriedly, "I really won't be recognized. come out?"

The person sitting there stopped writing after hearing the words, and turned around, half of his face with makeup was charming and emotional, but the other half of his unmodified face could be seen to be a man, who was [-]% similar to Jiang Zhige.Taketori looked at it for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "You are really amazing, you are a different person after putting on makeup."

Jiang Jiuqu raised his jaw triumphantly, and said with a smile, "As long as I am willing, no one can tell the truth from the fake." Taketori coughed a few more times when he heard the words, and looked worriedly at the laughing person in front of him, "Jiu Qu, you..." Jiang Jiuqu asked "Huh?" in doubt, Taketori thought for a while, shook his head, and said nothing more.

In a flash, it was still the same room, the bronze mirror.

Jiang Jiuqu was sitting in front of the mirror cleaning his makeup with a smile on his face, while Taketori was sitting on the bed with pale lips and a weak smile, "I heard that today's performance was very successful, you are really talented."

Jiang Jiuqu took off the earrings and put them in the box. Hearing the words, he raised the corners of his lips, squinted his eyes, raised his orchid fingers, and sang, "After all, it is Jun who abandoned his house and went to the high-rise building with his fame. Aya, I swear to God..."

Taketori closed his eyes and listened for a while, then admitted, "Singing is actually better than me... But, on and off the stage, don't get too involved..."

In front of the mirror, Jiang Jiuqu looked at his own face, smiled miserably, and did not answer.

"Are you really not planning to go home?" Taketori asked Jiang Jiuqu suddenly, "When you have a home, spend more time with your parents and brothers. Don't wait until I am in the situation I am now, and then regret it."

Jiang Jiuqu shook his head, "If you don't go back, you won't go back either."

Taketori asked tentatively, "Did you quarrel with them?" Jiang Jiuqu felt a little funny, "It would be fine if it was really just a quarrel..." Taketori became even more curious, "Then... ...Go back and apologize? There will always be a way."

Jiang Jiuqu raised his chin with his hand, and carefully admired himself in the mirror, "I can't go back, this face, these hands, this heart, I can't go back... "Qi Lang, I want to ask you, if one day you find out that you and Miss Hui Ye are not real siblings, what will you do?"

Taketori coughed a few times, his eyelids twitched, and blamed Jiang Jiuqu, "I told you not to get into the drama too much, and talk normally." After a pause, he sighed again, "Kaguya, she It's not my real sister..."

Jiang Jiuqu was stunned when he heard the words, but Taketori smiled relievedly, "Is this important? She is my family. From the moment my parents brought her home, she hugged my leg and laughed so hard. When you call me 'brother', it doesn't matter whether she is a fairy, a human, or a spirit beast. Now everything has left me, and the only family by my side is her... .”

"That's it..." Jiang Jiuqu murmured and lowered his head, staring blankly at his hands, and smiled wryly, "Then what if she lied to you... .” After thinking about it, he seemed to feel a little absurd, so he shook his head and stopped the question by himself.Instead, he took out a stack of excerpts from the cabinet and handed them to Taketori, "This is Kaguya's new play, and it tells the story of a mad woman who kills her brother and father. Sing and talk is too scary for children to listen to."

Taketori casually flipped through the script, savoring the taste, "I accidentally learned that I was not a child of the family, and felt that the love I once enjoyed was nothingness, and felt that everyone around me was deceiving me. Too greedy? Although she is not a lunatic, she is a complete self-deceiver. How cruel is she, so she can't see how her family treats her well, and only thinks about being cheated... Such a person , I am destined to live in pain in the future."

Before finishing the play, Taketori closed the notebook and threw it aside, not wanting to read any more, "It is indeed a crazy play, probably just a product of Kaguya's venting emotions..." Jiang Jiuqu Wen Yan rested his chin and stared at the play thoughtfully, "Aren't you curious about the ending of this woman?"

Taketori shook his head, and because of a severe cough, he lay down and covered himself with the quilt, another coughing burst, Jiang Jiuqu looked at Taketori in pain, shook his head helplessly, and stopped talking.
