[Xiu Chun Knife] The smiling Lord Jin Yiwei

By the time I understood why Miss Rufeng said thank you to me, I had already been escorted to Zhou Mansion by Jin Yiwei.

It was just at sunset, and I was roughly bound by a Jinyi guard, and I stumbled into the gate of Zhou Mansion. I saw a scarlet bloodstain at the gate, extending all the way to the courtyard.

The Zhou Mansion was surrounded by people from Fusi of Nanbei Township. In the main hall stood Pei Lun, Shen Lian, and two other Jinyi guards. Pei Lun was expressionless, leaning against the pillar, standing idle.There were two people kneeling on the ground, one was Miss Rufeng, and the other was Xiaocai, Miss Rufeng's distant cousin, or rather, his real name was Zhou Zicai, who is now the right servant of the Ministry of War.

I sighed and stopped talking.

Miss Rufeng once told me that she missed her only family member, a distant cousin named Xiaocai, and every time I left Jiaofangsi’s door, she would give me some money to buy Xiaocai Food, by the way, write a letter to Xiaocai to express his miss.

Those letters were probably the stack of papers in Shen Lian's hand.

Fate is impermanent, and when it happens to you, you complain about injustice, but when you look back carefully, everything has a traceable reason.

"Sir Zhou Zicai is so scheming, it's really unexpected, unexpected." Shen Lian paced in the lobby with a cold voice, the saber was out of its sheath, and it was in his hand.

Zhou Zicai turned pale: "My lord, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Back then, the Xie family was beheaded for the crime of treason, and the eldest daughter Xie Rufeng was appointed as an official prostitute by the Secretary of Jiaofang. Master Zhou, as Miss Xie's cousin, wrote a letter applauding the matter. Everyone's eyes are red, the world thinks Master Zhou is loyal, but you, Zhou Zicai, are the biggest traitor of the Xie family!"

I turned my head to see Rufeng's expression, she was biting her lip, bleeding out from her bite.

"It's a pity that you still want to bear the humiliation and avenge the Xie family." Shen Lian sneered, and stuffed the letter paper to a Jin Yiwei next to him, "Read."

"Everything is fine these days, every time I think of this troubled and dirty world, I can't stop feeling sick in the middle of the night. Although I am in the Jiaofang Division, my heart will always be with my late father...

"It's been a year since my family ransacked and beheaded, and I feel distressed when I think of you enduring humiliation and making suggestions in the court this year...

"The eunuch is rampant, and every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night. Although you are the right servant of the Ministry of War, you must be careful in everything. We will make plans when Brother Li escapes from the capital...

"On the evening of July [-]rd, at Choushi, at the southeast gate of the Jiaofang Division, I escorted Brother Li to escape. The Zhenfu Division chased him, but he couldn't catch up with the Jiaofang Division..."

After a long silence, Shen Lian stared at Rufeng who was kneeling on the ground: "You wrote this letter, right?"

Zhou Zicai immediately shouted: "You have the ability to come at me! Don't try to bully my elder sister!" Before he could finish speaking, Shen Lian kicked his chest, which almost made him breathless.

"I wrote it." Miss Rufeng said tearfully, "All of this was my idea and had nothing to do with Zhou Zicai. I coerced Miss Xiaoyu to deliver the letter for me. She didn't know anything, let alone what was in the letter. What did you write?"

Protecting anyone at this time is courting death. I kept my mouth shut and said nothing, looking down at the blood under my feet like a dumb person.

"Okay, since you wrote the letter and came up with the idea, can you tell me where is Mr. Li Gui now after he escaped from the Jiaofang Division?" Shen Lian looked down at Rufeng and raised his knife .

Silent as the wind, like a lifeless piece of wood.

"Oh, it seems that Miss Rufeng didn't come up with this idea." Shen Lian smiled sarcastically, and turned to Zhou Zicai, "Does Master Zhou know about this?"

Zhou Zicai pursed his lips tightly and remained motionless.

"Looking at Mr. Zhou's upright and upright appearance, I believe that even if Miss Rufeng dies, she won't be able to shake him a little bit." Shen Lian lowered his knife and charged down with the wind wrapped around him. When he was half a minute away from Rufeng's neck, Zhou Zicai suddenly convulsed violently, foaming at the mouth after a while and fell to the ground.

This accident happened too suddenly, not only Shen Lian, but even Rufeng obviously didn't expect Zhou Zicai's sudden sudden death, Pei Lun immediately sent someone to check, and it turned out that he committed suicide by taking poison.

The woman's cry resounded through the sky, Shen Lian's expression was gloomy, Pei Lun said something at his side, he slammed the door and left, leaving only Pei Lun standing in the room.

It was dusk outside, and amidst the cries of the wind, I heard crows flying over Zhou Mansion's head, making dying cries.

"Bring the two of you into the house." Pei Lun said lightly.

Rufeng's tears had dried up, she sat on the chair crookedly, staring blankly at the table.

Pei Lun was sitting opposite. On the table was a stack of bean paste cakes, which he was still eating.He took a delicate pad with a lock and a writing brush with him. A subordinate next to him immediately opened his mouth obsequiously. Pei Lun moistened the pen on his tongue without lifting his head, and then began to record in the pad.

"Li Gui walked from the southeast gate of the Jiaofang Division?"

"..."

"Where was he before we left?"

"..."

"Did he ever communicate with Zhou Zicai?"

"..."

Rufeng didn't say a word, and didn't even lift his eyelids. Pei Lun put down his pen, thought for a while, and signaled his subordinates to go out.

After a long time, when I was so thirsty that my throat was smoking, Pei Lun spoke again.

"Miss Rufeng, do you know why I went to listen to you playing the piano that night?"

"..."

If Rufeng didn't talk to him, he didn't care, and wiped the scum from his mouth: "Your letter was found in Zhou Zicai's room, and Zhou Zicai's letter must be in your room. But the letter I found is not Any elements of rebellion, only words of longing, I was thinking, a person who wants to rebel, she is so decisive, she clearly intends to break the boat, but hides the evidence so carefully, there must be something she cares about, then What is this concern?"

Rufeng smiled lightly: "What's the use of telling me these things? I'm already a dying person, I'm not afraid of death anyway, and you don't even want to ask about Brother Li's whereabouts."

But Pei Lun didn't answer her words at all, and went on to say: "Until I saw a book, "The Book of Songs". Miss Rufeng loves to read, but there is a lot of mystery in this book. I need to tell you what the mystery is." ?"

Rufeng's face suddenly changed.

"Back then, Xie's family ransacked all the families. On that day, by coincidence, an aunt surnamed Zhang gave birth to a boy. Since then, the Xie family has had a son and named it Ziyuan. This Xie Ziyuan was fostered in..."

"Shut up!" Rufeng suddenly screamed loudly, Jin Yiwei immediately broke into the door, all drew their knives, Pei Lun sat among them, and smiled at Rufeng, "Okay, I shut up. I just want to know that Li Your whereabouts."

"You are threatening me."

He changed his posture calmly: "That's right, I'm threatening you. You know, if Shen Lian finds out what will happen to this matter, not everyone can be as kind as me." Seeing the girl Rufeng's lips flap After two clicks, he leisurely picked up the pen, opened the notebook and smiled, "Can we talk about Li Gui now?"

Rufeng was shrouded in despair, and it took an unknown amount of time before she popped out words one by one. Every word she jumped, Pei Lun memorized a word, unhurriedly, until she finished speaking: "The suburbs of Beijing are far away. Mountain, Chencun."

"Very good." He put the bean paste cake in his hand back on the plate, "Where did Li Gui stay before leaving?"

"Zhou Mansion."

"Where is Zhou Zicai and Li Gui's private collection of anti-books?"

"Inside the walls of the basement of the Zhou Mansion."

"Did Li Gui bluntly say the four rebellious words 'the emperor is fatuous' in the book?"

"Yes."

"Which book?"

""Journey to the Eastern Suburbs"."

When the ink was dry, Pei Lun beckoned, and the subordinate immediately opened his mouth again, so that Pei Lun could refill the pen in his mouth.

"I'll ask a few more questions about her." He pointed at me.

"Who is she?" Pei Lun looked businesslike and didn't know me at all.

"The maid of Jiaofang Division is called Xiaoyu."

"What is her relationship to you?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Then why did you send her to deliver the letter?"

"I coerced her, because she is a maid and can come and go in and out of the Jiaofang Division at will."

"Does she know the contents of the letter?"

"I don't know at all."

Pei Lun turned to me again: "You really don't know anything about the contents of the letter?"

"Yes."

"Did Rufeng coerce you?"

I opened my mouth, and I saw Pei Lun staring at me, as if he was desperately hoping for an answer from me. This is the first time I saw such an urgent look on his face. I felt that if his subordinates were not around, he would As if wishing to answer his question instead of me.

This is a matter of life and death, I looked at Rufeng, and she was also looking at me.

"...Yes." I whispered.

My words fell, as if I had read it wrong, Pei Lun actually had a relieved expression on his face.

He closed the book.

As night fell, the sound of the crows disappeared, and I was blinded, and I almost fell over.The subordinates lit a lamp for him, and the flickering candlelight reflected his heroic face. This seemed to be the only motivation for me to keep going.

"That matter...can you promise me?" Rufeng stared at him, as if staring at a straw.

"You can go at ease, I promise you."

Their voices became smaller and smaller, and my mind went blank. I only saw Pei Lun's handsome face bright and dark under the candlelight, and I couldn't remember anything after that.

I was drowsy and felt bumpy along the way, which made my lungs almost spit out, and then it was a peaceful road, and finally I felt myself lying flat.

Someone was covering me with a quilt, but I didn't want to cover it. I kicked it over, and the person covered me again, and repeated it several times. I didn't want to kick it again, and fell asleep peacefully.

The author has something to say: I feel that Shen Lian and Pei Lun are not good people to some extent, at least they are not upright people, but they also have people they like and people they hate, which is what makes them most like "people" place.

Pei Lun probably also likes the heroine a little bit, after all, the heroine has always liked him, he is so perceptive, how could he not know~
