Chapter Ninety-One: A Little Lady
Cui Ning scratched her head embarrassedly.
It is undeniable that she really didn't care much about this matter, "Didn't Brother Fu say that he didn't like to solve the case?"
"There's no way, the vacancy in the Criminal Department was good at that time, so I stayed for the time being, and I might not be in the Criminal Department after completing this case. "Fu Yuandao.
Fu Yuan came over this time, not to judge the case, but to take on the responsibility and balance the delicate relationship between the Yixue family, the Daomen and the imperial power. If this thing is done well, he will stand out, even if there is no substantial benefit, at least in the eyes of the saint, his identity has changed from "Fu Prime Minister's grandson" to "Fu Yuan".
But if this thing is not done well, I am afraid that it will be fishy for nothing.
Fu Yuan's upper peak also felt that it was unnecessary to take the risk of mixing after weighing the pros and cons, so it was his turn.
Cui Ning thought carefully about the doorway here, and asked, "Does Brother Fu also want to fight for release?"
Outside and outside is different, some people are thrown directly to the poor countryside, Xu is a lifetime to die in office, but some are places that the court pays special attention to, not only easy to make political achievements, but also a little achievement can go straight to the sky, this kind of place is everyone fighting for the head of the grab, who wants to transfer over, not only to wait for the opportunity, there is a relationship, but also have a little strength in the name, after all, so many pairs of eyes staring at it.
Fu Yuan didn't expect her to be able to see through her thoughts, and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and she immediately smiled, "Yes." ”
Cui Ning understood, Fu Yuan also ran to the position above the ten thousand people under that person. There is more than one Zaifu in the Tang Dynasty, but even Xie Chengyu is staring at it ambitiously, let alone the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?
Wei Qian was no longer sleepy, and changed the topic, "Now discuss the case?"
Fu Yuan yawned. "Isn't that your business? you can do it yourself, I'll go sleep for a while, and I'll chase after me day and night, and my bones are about to fall apart." ”
didn't give Wei Qian a chance to speak, got up and waved his hand at Cui Ning and strode out, looking for an errand to arrange a place for him to live.
Wei Qian was silent, took out a file from his baggage and threw it to Cui Ning. "Go back to the house and have a look. ”
"Good. Cui Ning responded.
Go back to your room. She looked at the dossier closely, and the paper was already yellowed, and it looked like it had been some years old. Turning the first page, it reads "Si's Extermination Case".
Cui Ning's eyes suddenly flashed in front of him when he went to the master and was slaughtered, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
After a pause, Cui Ning took a deep breath. Gritted his teeth and spread out the dossier, and looked at it carefully.
In mid-March of the second year of Yongchang. There was a tragic incident in Xingzhou that caused a sensation in the Tang Dynasty, and more than 240 members of the Si family were slaughtered, and the entire Qingshan County was full of blood.
The Si family is also a family gathering, and only a very small number of people who are officials elsewhere will move their families to Chang'an. The Si clan's settlement is no longer in Qingshan County. It is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the suburbs, which has become a village of its own.
The incident occurred in the middle of the night, when the surrounding villages and towns heard the movement and reported it to the police. The entire Sijiazhuang has been covered with corpses.
The dead were all choked by sharp blades, and some powerful men resisted desperately before they died. There are obviously more scars on the body than women and children.
The ancestral hall was burned in the fire, and 113 corpses were found, most of them women, children, old and weak, and the corpses of 90 men around the ancestral hall, all of whom were seriously wounded and finally killed, and the rest were assassinated in their sleep.
The official in charge of the case at that time deduced that the murderer initially assassinated Sijiazhuang, and in the process of assassination, someone escaped, alarming the Si clan, and the Si clan patriarch immediately summoned the young and strong men in the clan to start resisting, but because the murderer was too numerous, they did not have enough manpower, so they had to gather all the old and weak women and children to protect them.
However, in the end, the murderer broke through the defense line, entered the ancestral hall, slaughtered everyone in the Si family, and then set fire to the ancestral hall.
When Cui Ning saw this, he had begun to breathe poorly, feeling like he was drowning, gasping for breath, but he couldn't breathe in the air, and he was about to suffocate.
Her face turned pale, and large drops of sweat slid down her cheeks.
This pain lasted for an unknown amount of time, her eyes went dark, and when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were full of blood and corpses of her fellow brothers.
When I turned around again, I was already in the dark study.
The second senior brother in a Taoist robe grabbed her anxiously and shook her, "Ah Ning, listen to me......"
"I don't listen!" Cui Ning hugged him tightly, "I don't listen to anything, I'm going to die together!"
"Ah Ning. ”
"Yes, there are secret passages, there are secret passages. Cui Ning suddenly let go and frantically rummaged for the mechanism to open the secret passage.
The mechanism was touched, and the door to the secret passage creaked open.
Cui Ning held the lamp in one hand, grabbed the second senior brother's robe with the other, raised his little face and looked at him stubbornly, "Let's go together." ”
"Ah Ning, I can't go. The second senior brother raised the sword in his hand, cut off the big sleeve, and pushed her into the secret passage with a wave of his hand.
Cui Ning's mind was buzzing, her vision was very blurry, she staggered to the wall and stood up, trying to get out.
But the door of the secret room closed faster than she walked, and she only saw that in that gap, the second senior brother was smiling at her in the fire, and the moon was clear and the wind was clear, as if he opened his mouth to say something, but she didn't hear it.
Cui Ning's tears burst the embankment, and he couldn't control it, and the oil lamp fell to the ground with a thud, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
The moment the door closed, she felt trapped in a dark corner, and from then on it was eternal night.
She sighed deeply, wanting to just fall asleep, but suddenly remembered the magic knife in a haze, and in an instant seemed to see hope.
Yes, she still has a magic sword, and there is hope......
Cui Ning slowly regained consciousness.
When I woke up again, I felt dizzy and my eyes were swollen and painful, and when I tried to open my eyes, I found that even my temples were swollen and painful.
She moved, and her nose smelled a faint fragrance that did not belong to her, like the smell of sun, grass, and flowers mixed together, which made people feel relaxed and comfortable. Immediately afterward, she felt her cheek pressed against a hot object, rubbing it vigorously, and she could hear the sound of "bang".
"You're awake. A hoarse voice suddenly sounded overhead.
Cui Ning was startled, looked up and tried to open his eyes wide, and saw a handsome face that was flushed. But it's Wei Qian!
She looked down again and found herself lying on top of him like an octopus, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Cui Ning got up with a grunt and looked around, where the two of them were lying on a low bed.
"When I came to see you in the afternoon, I found you fainting on the ground, and I wanted to help you move to bed. But you suddenly hugged ...... Cough...... Don't let go. I ......" Wei Qian sat up and rubbed his knees a few times in embarrassment, "You...... You okay. I see you crying sadly. ”
In fact, when Wei sneaked over, Cui Ning didn't seem to faint at all, but lay on the ground and fell asleep, crying and trembling.
Wei Qian felt that he would definitely catch a cold if he fell asleep like this, so he leaned over and carried her to the Hu bed. Who knew that Cui Ning suddenly hugged him tightly and said in his mouth. "I don't listen to anything, I'm going to die together!"
Seeing the way she gritted her teeth when she spoke, Wei Qian shouted softly, "Ah Ning." ”
This is the first time he has called Cui Ning's name like this. But she didn't hear it, her face was full of tears when she cried, and her mouth was messily chanting "secret way" and "let's go together".
Wei Qian's heart suddenly softened. Let go of the worldly mustard, the hot day. also let her hold on to it.
"Fifth brother. Cui Ning spoke in a thick nasal voice, like a coquette, "I have a headache." ”
Wei Qian raised his hand and probed her forehead, "There is no fever, Xu is crying too much, I will go and fetch water to help you compress your eyes." ”
"Hmm. Cui Ning still didn't come to her senses, and after Wei sneaked out, she squatted on the Hu bed in a daze.
Too many questions filled his mind at once, and Cui Ning couldn't figure it out for a while.
Bang bang!
"No more noise, may I come in?"
The door was not closed, Cui Ning looked up and saw Fu Yuan standing at the door with a smile, the light of the sunset behind him was golden red, like a fire, and it happened that he was wearing a cyan wide-sleeved robe.
This picture instantly stung her eyes, and she couldn't make a sound in her throat.
"Yo, I'm crying. Fu Yuan walked in, "Why are these eyes swollen like this? Changyuan bullied you, can't you?"
"Brother Fu. Cui Ning was finally able to make a sound, her eyes were dry, but she couldn't shed tears.
Fu Yuan smiled and poked her slightly swollen cheek, "I'll ask someone to get water to wash your face." ”
"The fifth brother went. Cui Ning said.
Fu Yuan nodded and sat down on the seat opposite her, "What are you crying about?"
"It's just that I watched the Si family extermination case, and I was quite touched. Cui Ning lowered his eyes and concealed his feelings.
"Can't you see that you are so sentimental people?" Fu Yuan seemed to be amused and seemed to love to rub her head, "There is no big deal in life except death, even if it is a death, what can it do? ”
"I'm a woman. Cui Ning reminded.
Fu Yuan laughed, "Yes, yes, you are a little lady again." ”
Cui Ning couldn't help laughing, "Brother Fu, you really look like my brother." ”
Fu Yuan looked at her and said unhappily, "If you say that, we won't be friends anymore." ”
"Why?" Cui Ning asked with a hurt face.
Seeing that she was serious, Fu Yuan raised his hand and flicked her forehead, jokingly, "Because it's brother and sister!"
Cui Ning covered her forehead and grinned.
Wei Qian came in with water and put it in front of Hu's bed.
The scene froze for two breaths, because according to the location, Fu Yuan could just twist the handkerchief to help Cui Ning cover his face, but the water was brought by Wei Qian, and Fu Yuan knew that he might not have no intentions towards Cui Ning.
The two men knew it.
Cui Ning didn't notice the subtle change in the atmosphere, and directly stretched out his claws and twisted the handkerchief and put it on his eyes, breaking the deadlock, and sighed comfortably, "Thank you, Fifth Brother." ”
Fu Yuan looked at her, smiled helplessly, and looked at Wei Qian in a blink of an eye, but there was still no expression on Na Jun's face.
Cui Ning changed her handkerchief a few times, felt much better, her brain became sober, and the whole person became lively again, and she asked Fu Yuan and Wei Qian about the Criminal Department with great interest.
Wei Qian looked at her lively appearance, and was a little curious, two hours ago, this girl was still lying on the ground crying, tears were about to drown herself, when holding him, the sadness, stubbornness, and pain, he could feel it very clearly.
How can a person who has had a painful experience live like the sun?
