[Seven-Five Doujin] Zhan Guard, please stay!

The sky brightened in the distance, and a bolt of lightning split the dark sky. The world seemed to be day for an instant, but then returned to darkness.

On the official road leading to Hangzhou, two horses let go and galloped.

Suddenly, the figure of a horse swayed, and the other horse swiftly jumped behind that figure, stretched out its long arms, and wrapped her in its arms regardless of the suspicion of men and women.

"Huangfu?" There was deep worry in the deep voice.

The two people rushing in the dark were Huangfu Nan and Zhan Zhao.

Feeling the support behind him, Huangfu Nan closed his eyes and simply relaxed his body that had been tense all day, "I'm fine, I'm just sitting on the horse all the time, and it's a bit uncomfortable." When you can't hold on, it's better not to be brave Well, she was worried that she would fall off the horse with a top-heavy body. It would be a minor accident if she fell to her death. If she broke her neck or something and left her half-body paralyzed, it would be too wronged.

In the darkness, he couldn't see her face clearly, but her voice was tired and weak.Traveling day and night is too much for most people, not to mention she is already unwell.

He roughly estimated the distance, and softened his voice to comfort: "There is about an hour before we can reach the mansion."

Huangfu Nan nodded, she also realized that the two people's attitudes were rather ambiguous at this time, so she couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said to Zhan Zhao with a somewhat mocking tone: "Let Guard Zhan laugh, and I hope Guard Zhan doesn't mind. "

Zhan Zhao couldn't help lowering his head, looking at the little head in front of him.

Isn't her words too bland?But she doesn't mind if she is a girl, so what does he care about?

He smiled slightly and said, "Fourth Miss is too worried."

Protecting her along the way, Zhan Zhao returned to his horse when he was about to reach the mansion.

The two of them dismounted, and the gate of the mansion was opened. Bao Xing rushed out from inside, took the rein in Huangfu Nan's hand, "Oh, guard Zhan, fourth girl, you are back. Mr. Gongsun told me that you are the last It’s here tonight, so you really didn’t lie to me.”

Huangfu Nan frowned slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "Where are Gongsun and my righteous brother?"

"Just now a little book boy came, insisting on looking for adults and Mr. Gongsun, they are talking to that book boy now." Bao Xing replied.

Zhan Zhao looked at Huangfu Nan, "I'm going to see your lord, you go back to your room and rest first."

Huangfu Nan was startled, raised his hand and touched his cheek lightly, the heat on his face was really high, could it be a fever?Going to see Bao Zheng in such a disgraceful manner, maybe he will be scolded, so he should go back and change into clothes that can make his face look better before going.So Chao Zhanzhao nodded, and said softly, "I'll go over and have a round with you later."

After finishing speaking, he turned and stepped into the gate.

Bao Xing held Huangfu Nan's mount in his hand, looked at the back, and then at Zhan Zhao beside him, "Guard Zhan, why do you feel that my fourth daughter's complexion is not good?"

"She suffered some wind and cold when she was in Suzhou, and she came back all the way. Does she look better? Later, you ask the kitchen to prepare some light food, and let her eat some." Zhan Zhao said.

Bao Xing: "But the chef in the kitchen is already asleep."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at him.

Seeing this, Bao Xing put on a bitter face, "All right, all right, I know I know, the chef is asleep and I haven't slept yet, I will prepare. I said Zhan Weiwei, aren't you going to see the adults?" Bao Xing said I have followed Bao Zheng for many years, and I have seen this group of guys who work day and night, and often in the dead of night when a group of people are howling and hungry, they will drive Bao Xing to the kitchen to serve noodles and so on.These days, it's not easy to be a loyal servant. If you want to go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, any gentleman is far away from the kitchen.

Zhan Zhao was very satisfied with Bao Xing's going on the road, he also threw the rein in his hand and threw it to Bao Xing, "Then I will go to see the Lord."

Bao Xing looked at the rein in his hand, and sighed up to the sky, "Since Bao Xing was born, how did Zhan Zhao get born?"

Zhan Zhao was so choked by Bao Xing that he glanced at him lightly, and went to see Mr. Bao without knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After Huangfu Nan went back to his room and changed his clothes, he hurried to see Bao Zheng.When he reached the door, he turned back suddenly, found a few leaves in the box in the room and held them in his palm.

It was the refreshing herb given to her by Gongsun Ce. It is said that taking a piece of herb in her mouth when her mind is drowsy can refresh her mind.Her head is dizzy now, if she really can't bear it, she will take a slice first to see if it works.

When Huangfu Nan went to the room where Bao Zheng worked, Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce and others were discussing things, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others were also there, as if they were about to go out.

Huangfu Nan was stunned, "Brother Yi?"

Bao Zheng looked at her, nodded slightly, and had no time to greet her, and explained the matter clearly in a few words, "Just now, a little book boy said that his son Ru Heiqian had disappeared after receiving a letter. Mr. Gongsun and Zhan The guard suspects that the murderer is acting again and is planning to go out to find someone."

Huangfu Nan looked at Gongsun Ce, enduring the slight itchiness in his throat, "These young masters like wind, flowers, snow and moon, and they like the drama of admiring the moon among the flowers. It's so strange not to see people when it's dark."

"If that's what you said, that's fine. This little bookboy is pretty smart. He just came to Hangzhou and heard about the recent murders in Hangzhou. Just now he told us that his son had had the same crime as the dead. What’s more, the letter was just sent by a little beggar on the street, but his son was overjoyed when he saw it, and he turned around and went back to his room, changed into new clothes and went out.” The expression on Gongsun Ce’s face was a little condensed, and he paused for a moment. He also said: "Since I received the letter from Zhan Weiwei, I have sent people to secretly pay attention to Yuan Xiaoxiao and Li Shujun. Now Yuan Xiaoxiao is still in the Yiqing Hospital, but Li Shujun went out the day before yesterday and said that he went to the mountain to collect medicine, and he has not returned to the hospital. Not afraid of [-], just in case, I am worried that the speculation you and Zhanweiwei are true."

Bao Zheng stroked his beard and nodded, and said seriously: "It's not too late, Huangfu, you have a better understanding of the murderer's behavior characteristics, if she wants to commit another murder, where do you think she will choose?"

Huangfu Nan frowned slightly, walked to the wall where the map of Hangzhou was hung, and said softly, "Let me think about it."

"If the murderer is really Li Shujun, she already knows that we are investigating the case. She can't choose a location in Hangzhou, which is not conducive to her escape after she succeeds." Zhan Zhao said.

"If it's really Li Shujun, then she is much smarter than we imagined." Huangfu Nan said, she remembered that they deduced that the murderer lived in the city, but Li Shujun's residence was outside the city.She had long thought of people's habitual inferences when investigating cases, so she used this to mislead them.

Gongsun Ce walked up to Huangfu Nan, and took a small nail to mark Li Shujun's residence, "Anyway, she didn't choose a place near her residence. But you and Zhanwei are not in Hangzhou for a few days, so she probably knew it earlier." You are going to Suzhou to investigate her and Yuan Xiaoxiao's life experience."

Zhan Zhao: "If that's the case, she must also know our suspicion of her, why do you want to do it?"

Huangfu Nan sighed, "Probably, it's because I can't control the impulse in my heart."

Gongsun Ce looked sideways at Huangfu Nan, and then said, "If this is the case, she doesn't seem to care if anyone finds out that she is the murderer. Huangfu, if she were you, where would you choose to commit the murder?"

Huangfu Nan was stunned, and then said: "If you don't care about anything, then you must be most sure to strike at the place you are most familiar with."

Zhan Zhao heard the words, and blurted out: "That is in the bamboo forest!"

Li Shujun Medical Center was built in the bamboo forest, if there is any place she is most familiar with and convenient to start with, it must be in the bamboo forest where she lives.

Zhan Zhao and Huang Funan's deduction was not wrong, Li Shujun was indeed the one who killed several dead people, when Zhan Zhao brought Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others to the bamboo forest that night, the bamboo forest had already been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.The fire burned for a whole night before it was extinguished. The prefect of Hangzhou sent people to clean up the aftermath. Among the ruins, only the remains of a man were found, and Li Shujun was nowhere to be found.

After Huangfu Nan learned of this, she waited in the room for an entire hour, and finally changed her clothes and went out. She went to the Yiqing Courtyard.

The people in Yiqingyuan seemed to have known she would go. In broad daylight, the nursing home was not as domineering as last time. When they saw her, they led her to Yuan Xiaoxiao's yard.

Yuan Xiaoxiao was dressed in a lotus-colored summer shirt, standing in the pavilion in the lake, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.

Huangfu Nan stood on the spot, looking at that woman, who would have thought that there would be so many vicissitudes and helplessness behind such a magnificent woman.

"Miss Huangfu."

Huangfu Nan stepped into the gazebo slowly, lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on her wrist. On Yuan Xiaoxiao's wrist was still carrying the copper coin that Li Shujun gave her.

"I was relieved when I heard that her body was not found in the bamboo forest." Yuan Xiaoxiao looked at the lake in front of her with a very calm expression on her face.

Huangfu Nan walked to her side, the scent of Anshensan lingered in her nostrils again, I don't know if it was her illusion, the scent was stronger than the previous two times when she smelled it.She didn't know why Yuan Xiaoxiao told her these things, but she really wanted to know what happened between the two of them to make Li Shujun commit such a murder.

"Do you... like her in your heart?" Huangfu Nan asked.

Yuan Xiaoxiao heard the words, turned her head to look at Huangfu Nan, and sighed with a smile, "You don't seem to be surprised at this kind of thing." In this world, the love between men and women is taken for granted, and other things are too much. Shocking, not accepted by the world.Yuan Xiaoxiao thought that Huangfu Nan's acceptance would be a little more than others, but she never thought that she would accept it without any obstacles.

Huangfu Nan didn't answer her words, just walked over and asked: "Did you deliberately let me see that copper coin that day, did you want me to think you were a descendant of the Li family and treat you as a murderer?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao turned around, did not answer her words, but said to herself: "Firework girl, if someone treats you sincerely and tastes a little warmth, you will be able to sink into deep water. At first, I only regarded her as a friend, but later she Let me try it with her, and I agreed. She didn't know about my past until I met Lord Yan in Jiaxing half a year ago."

"Master Yan died of a sudden illness within a few days after returning from Hangzhou, do you know?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao smiled, "Of course I know. When Lord Yan was in Hangzhou, he came to my yard for several days to listen to me playing the piano and singing, and the incense I used was tampered with by Shujun. You know, from a family of medicine People who know about the medicinal properties of these flowers and plants.”

Huangfu Nan was silent, Master Yan was indeed killed by Li Shujun.Li Shujun used poison to Master Yan, but why did he change his tactics later?

Yuan Xiaoxiao was a little distracted, and said: "Since Master Yan appeared, Shujun said that he wanted to take me out of Hangzhou, but if we leave Hangzhou, where can I settle down with her two girls? In Hangzhou, she will be her doctor , I will be my red card in the Yiqing Academy. When I grow old, I will be a teacher in the Yiqing Academy to teach girls. Is this not good? Poor and lowly couples are sad, regardless of men and women. I and her To be reasonable, she could listen to her at the beginning, but then she became more and more stubborn, thinking that I was obsessed with the past and didn't want to leave her. After I learned of Master Yan's death, I didn't leave her for a month. Seeing her, the first murder happened later."

So after getting the news of Lord Yan's death in Jiaxing, Yuan Xiaoxiao's nightmares and insomnia began to worsen.She avoided seeing Li Shujun, trying to calm each other down, but she didn't expect that Li Shujun would go astray because of this.

"I once said that if Master Yan hadn't lured Li Zhixin back then, I, Yuan Xiaoxiao, wouldn't have ended up here. I hate the kind of rich young masters who greet them with a smile for money. She wanted me to know , she is willing to do anything for me, if I don't want to vent my anger, then she will punish those men."

Yuan Xiaoxiao's face was pale, and her hands on the railing trembled slightly, "But I don't need to vent my anger like this. Those men are really not good things. If I want, I can do it too. But she thinks I don't want to She left Hangzhou because she didn't do enough."

Huangfu Nan whispered: "She is very paranoid."

Li Shujun is a person with paranoid mental disorder. She became ill because of the frustrated relationship with Yuan Xiaoxiao. She took her imagination as fact.

"After I knew she killed someone, I started to be afraid of her. I...I couldn't accept her killing someone. She was supposed to be a healer who saved lives and healed the wounded."

"Since you are afraid of her, why do you still want to take the blame for her?" Huangfu Nan asked.

Yuan Xiaoxiao didn't look back, "I feel I owe her."

"If she comes back to you, will you leave with her?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao smiled when she heard the words, "She won't come back again."

Huangfu Nan lowered his eyes, and after a while, asked again: "Actually, how did Lu Zhixin die back then?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao was startled, turned around, and looked at Huangfu Nan steadfastly.After a while, she said, "He died of illness."

Huangfu Nan raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, she suddenly felt very tired, she stood up and said, "I have a headache, so I'll take my leave first."

Not far away, Yuan Xiaoxiao suddenly called her, "Miss Huangfu."

Huangfu Nan paused, but didn't look back, Yuan Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind——

"Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. If it were you, what would you do?"

Huangfu Nan pursed her lips, and then said: "Miss Yuan, others will never be you, even if they can understand what you have suffered, they can't empathize with you."

Yuan Xiaoxiao looked at the figure going away, closed her eyes, and said softly: "When I saw her for the first time, the word that came to my mind was a gentleman."

It was Li Shujun who seemed indifferent but actually warm and kind to give her warmth. Later, that paranoid Li Shujun, who killed people for her, only brought her endless sense of guilt.

The lotus-colored figure sighed softly, and left the gazebo, leaving only a copper coin tied with a red string quietly hanging on the railing, swaying with the summer breeze.

Three days later, Yuan Xiaoxiao, the most popular figure in Yiqing Academy, fell into the water on a painting boat and drowned.
