[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

"You...how are you here?"

Zhan Zhao looked at her calmly, "I'll just come and see why you let Chen Ying go on purpose. As expected, it was because of what happened ten years ago."

Nian Yi was stunned: "How do you know...Chen Ying is still alive?"

"Guess." It was rare for him to speak in Bai Yutang's tone, and walked up to her slowly.

Nian Yi was stunned for a moment, "Guess?"

"Not all of them." He paused, staring at the lake water, "Actually, I was surprised when I saw the charred corpse for the first time. Chen Yingsheng was tall, with a length of eight feet, while the corpse was short, only six feet left and right. , so it must not be Chen Ying who was burned to death. As for who..."

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment, "I think it might be that Boss Wang who ran away the night before."

If there is any missing servant in the village, Mrs. Liu will definitely notice it. Since it is not someone from the village, it can only be the merchant surnamed Wang who left in a hurry that night.

Because no one would have expected that he would be the one who died, and the fire burned beyond recognition, so the possibility of being suspected was even smaller.

Nian Yi was speechless.

The news of Chen Ying's life was obtained by her from other ghosts, and she couldn't believe that he could figure it out by himself.

"I never suspected you before, but just now you procrastinated in every possible way in the room, and your words seemed to keep changing the topic." Zhan Zhao's expression remained unchanged, "I can only think that you did it on purpose."

He described the events of ten years ago in detail, and interrupted Bai Yutang several times when she was about to go out. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was delaying time.

Wanting to let Chen Ying go, he killed Zhang Yuanwai.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Nian Yi no longer denies it, and is silent for a while, then raises his head to meet his gaze.

"Is it wrong for me to help him? Don't the three of them deserve to die?

She has done evil things, but has been getting away with it all the time, the government doesn't care, the court doesn't care, and now someone stands up to avenge her, should this person be arrested by the government, paraded in the streets, and beheaded by Qiuhou Wen? "

"Yes, the three of them deserve to die." Zhan Zhao asked her quietly, "What about Boss Wang? He deserves to die? What does this matter have to do with him? Now that he is dead, what about his wife and children at home? To avenge him?"

Nian Yi was taken aback by his question, unable to speak for a while.

A life for a life, this is something everyone knows, but I always feel very unwilling in my heart.Obviously there are many people who have done many evil things and still live in rich clothes, killed countless people, but lived a long life.And the common people living at the bottom, sometimes unbearable counterattacks end up in a terrible end.

Is Chen Ying guilty?

Is Chen Ying innocent?

The lake behind him flows gently.

She remained silent, and Zhan Zhao waited patiently for her.

After a long time, Nian Yi said in a low voice:

"Then what do you say? If this doesn't work, can you have another way?"

She spoke softly, as if she was asking him, but also as if she was asking herself, before she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered what the green ghost said that day in Fuxue Town.

--how should I do?

——Do you just let him go like this?

I have forgotten how I answered that day, but when I think about it now, I can't find a suitable answer in my mind...

It is wrong to let things go, and it is also wrong to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Who can tell clearly whether it is right or wrong.

When he was in a trance, he suddenly heard a soft sigh above his head.

"I do not know either……"

Nian Yiwei nodded to look at him in surprise, Zhan Zhao looked up at the night sky, the soft moonlight sprinkled on his body, she rarely saw him showing such an expression.

do not know.

In this world, how should the insignificant people live in peace, and how should they live fairly.

Probably because he didn't know it himself, even though he saw that Chen Ying was still alive, he didn't tell the truth on the spot.

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then asked her, "Since he killed someone, will there be retribution in the underworld after he dies?"

Nian's eyes softened, "Yes, anyone who did evil in life will be punished after death. He killed for a reason, and he will be punished for several years, and then reincarnated."

"Yeah." He opened his eyes and nodded, "Then it's pretty good as it is now."

Hearing what he said, Nian Yi was inexplicably grateful.

"Thank you for your understanding."

"You're welcome."

But Zhan Zhao withdrew his gaze, and said in a calm tone:

"It's just that there is still a doubt in Zhan's heart. I wonder if Miss Shi can help me solve my doubts?"

"Okay." Nian Yi didn't think too much, "Tell me, if I know, I will tell you."

He paused and asked softly, "Who are you?"

Rao De Zhanzhao spoke softly, but this sentence rang in her ears like thunder, Nian Yi's hands trembled unconsciously, and he looked at him blankly.In the dark night, those starry eyes were unfathomable, with darkness and inquiry in their eyes.

She hurriedly looked away.

"I...I am..."

She wanted to find an excuse, but she was too nervous, her mind went blank, and after dawdling for a while, she stammered, "Ling, psychic."

The other party didn't make a statement, and nodded slightly, but didn't speak for a long time.

When Nian Yi was feeling restless, he sighed lightly.

"Do you know that whenever you lie, your left hand will unconsciously pinch your right hand, just like this." Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to demonstrate to her.

Nian Yi looked at him, then quickly lowered her head to look at herself, with almost the same gesture, she hurriedly let go of her hand.

Zhan Zhao's eyes were calm: "Now can I tell the truth?"

Nian Yi curled her fingers tightly in the palm of her hand.

I don't know when he became suspicious.

But he is really stupid, no matter what he does or says, he is full of flaws.It seemed that every embarrassment, worry and panic was a joke to him.

Everyone hides many secrets, why must these secrets be uncovered?

Even if you know it, what good will it do?

The lake wind suddenly blew, and the familiar cloak on his shoulders rose against the wind.

Zhan Zhao saw that she lowered her head very low, the bangs on her forehead covered her eyes, and was a little uncertain what expression she would have at this moment.

My heart suddenly softened inexplicably, as if I felt that asking such a question might be too abrupt for a girl.

He involuntarily slowed down his tone:

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it..."

She interrupted suddenly, "Would you believe anything I say?"

Nian Yi raised his head, looked at him blankly, and repeated: "No matter what, will you believe it?"

There was a flash of surprise in Zhan Zhao's eyes, then he softened and nodded seriously: "Yes."

"If I say..." She held her breath and said word by word, "What if I say, I'm a ghost?"

A gust of cold wind swept past, freezing to the bone.

He looked as usual, and said lightly: "I believe it."

All of a sudden, the waves on the surface of the water rolled up to a height of one foot, and the silvery white water splashed on the shore. In the flashing water, someone turned and fell.

Before he could turn his head, he was hit hard on the head.

"Girl, are you out of your mind?"

The long robe was dragged on the floor, and she knew who it was before she even looked.

"Shi Yin." Nian Yi felt strange, "I didn't call you, why are you here?"

"Nonsense!" The latter almost couldn't catch his breath, "I'm almost mad at you, can you not come?"

"how do I……"

"How could you tell such a big living person to him?!" Shi Yin said, without turning his head, he stretched out his hand and pointed in Zhan Zhao's direction.

"You don't know what your identity is? Can you talk about it casually? How can I tell you when you go out?"

"He won't tell others." Nian Yi corrected seriously, "I can trust him."

"You know he won't tell others? Why are you so sure?"

"I can't tell." She shook her head, she didn't care about it after she said it, "I just think he's different from others."

"You!..." Shiyin was annoyed at hearing this, and gnashing her teeth for a long time, staring at her, suddenly looked strangely, "You don't...you treat him..."

"What did I do to him?" Nian Yi didn't understand, "What did I do to him?"

He flicked his sleeves and turned his back angrily, "How would I know!"

Nian Yi pulled the hem of his clothes and smiled in relief, then walked to Zhan Zhao's side, "Hero Zhan won't say anything, will he?" The second half of the sentence was asking him.

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, then looked at Shi Yin, lowered his head and asked her: "He is..."

"Shi Yin, he is my elder brother." Nian Yi smiled, "He is the best person to me all these years after my death."

Shi Yin looked at the lake water, his body froze slightly, and he didn't look back, just hugged his arms and snorted coldly.

"Do whatever you like, I don't care about you anymore!"

There was no one around, Zhan Zhao looked around, and then asked her in a low voice: "Since you are a ghost, why did you come to the human world? You are not..." He considered his words.

"Didn't you always hope that ghosts and monsters could be reincarnated?"

"I really want to." Nianyi put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and kicked the stones under his feet, "But I have too much obsession with the world, so I can't reincarnate."

"Is there someone you can't forget?"

"No." She explained, "It's because I can't let go of one thing, one...that caused my house to be ransacked."

This reason was beyond his expectation, Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, and looked at her with restraint: "What's the matter."

Nian Yi pursed her lips and said calmly:

"I've been dead for 50 years."

Shiyin by the lake quietly turned to look at her.

Nian Yi looked as usual, but turned his head and asked Zhan Zhao with a faint smile: "I don't know if you have ever heard that it happened during Taizong's Taiping Xingguo period, when the King of Wei plotted to usurp the throne?"

It is true that more than 50 years have passed since Taizong's time...

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly: "I heard something."

Zhao Tingmei, king of Wei, is the fourth younger brother of the emperor. Because he was dissatisfied with the mother's disobedience to the ancestral system, he spoke rudely. Later, because he was found to be in collusion with Lu Duoxun, the servant of the Ministry of war, Emperor Taizong cut off his official position and let him live at home.

"My father...was also implicated in it back then." She lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "At that time, King Wei had already been relegated to his family because of the leak of the rebellion. I heard about it, but I didn't know it was related to my family.

I was only seventeen back then, and I was engaged to the son of the court servant's family. The auspicious day was chosen on the seventh day of March. Every day, I would sit in the yard embroidering handkerchiefs and pillowcases. There are ten sets, and my mother said it was perfect.There was also a bright red wedding gown and a golden embroidered robe in the box, which had been altered more than ten times... But, before I got married, the Imperial Army raided my house. "

"Wei Wang's conspiracy to rebel was reported, and all the officials wrote to demand a strict investigation. The leader of the army said that someone in Dali Temple secretly reported that my father had colluded with the prince, had an affair with Xixia, was treasonous, corrupted the discipline, and was a debtor of the country's grace. Arguments should be punished."

When she said the last four words, she paused for a while.

"Daddy was beheaded outside the gate of the capital. I couldn't even see his face, and the knife fell. There were five or six people who were beheaded, and the ground was covered with blood. I still remember..." Her voice Slightly choked, thinking of that past event, it is vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday.

After the house was ransacked, all members of the Gu family were exiled to Yazhou, while she and her mother were sent to the frontier, walking along the Fen River, wading through mountains and rivers, the road was difficult, and there was little food. Not only that, they were beaten and scolded by the guards every day.

"It's been too long, and I can't remember many things clearly... I even forgot how I died." Nian Yi frowned, trying to recall, "But I only know that my mother told me before she died, that my father is Wronged."

"My father would never do such a thing." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes again, "My mother is the person who knows my father best in this world, she said that my father was wronged, then It must be."

It was winter, and there was heavy snow all over the sky. She huddled in the hut with her mother, without food or water, and the dilapidated quilt felt chilly.

And her mother died in her arms, trying her last breath, but still repeating that sentence.

Your father was wronged.

She thought so too, so she couldn't figure it out.

I can't figure out that my father, who is usually gentle, gentle and cautious, would do something rebellious.

She couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out.It was precisely because he couldn't figure it out that after crossing Huangquan Road, he was reluctant to go to the Naihe Bridge. He wandered by the Wangchuan River for a long time, and finally became a lonely ghost, unable to reincarnate.

Zhan Zhao quietly listened to her finish everything, and then asked softly: "So, you want to find out about this matter?"

Nian Yi was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Yes."

"I've been in the ghost world for too long. I've lived here for 50 years. I thought I'd live there forever, until one day... I saw a very familiar person outside the ghost gate, but I couldn't remember who it was.

At that moment, I suddenly wanted to reincarnate, to be a human..." She looked at him, "So, I must find the truth. "

But so many years have passed, the vicissitudes have changed, and the world has changed. No one knows whether the people at that time are still there.
