"Ahh

The light in front of him was suddenly extinguished, and the sound of candles rolling in the corridor was drowned out by panicked footsteps and frightened screams.

Listening to this cry, it was obviously a frightened woman, not a female ghost.

Yin Qixiu breathed a sigh of relief, and went straight forward to chase, his vision was dim, but fortunately, he moved quickly, followed the target, and ran forward with the ethereal figure of the cloud brocade yarn.

"Who are you, stop!" Yin Qixiu shouted, looking at the distance and pounced forward.

Whoever wants to fall in his hand is empty, and his front is empty, and his body is weightless, and he doesn't know where, and he falls straight down.

Nearby, there was another squeamish scream, this time with the sound of pain.

It turned out that she had stepped on the air and fell down the stairs when she ran down the stairs, so he also threw himself into the air and rolled down the stairs with her.

In the chaos, it was the pain and screams of the two of them, and finally stopped in one place, the two fell together, Yin Qixiu fell on top of her, he was stunned, he only felt that his body was soft, a burst of fragrance entered his nose, and the pain he fell out of seemed to be anesthetized by this soft fragrance and jade, and he felt forgetful for a moment.

"You bastard! let me go! you damn scoundrel! Get Miss Ben out of the way!" the man in his arms raged, thrashing and scolding him.

When he came to his senses, his vision became clearer, and when he looked down, he could vaguely discern the contours of the beautiful face of the woman under him, especially the eyes, which were still bright in the dimness, and although they were full of anger, they still looked bright and lovely.

Yin Qixiu hurriedly bounced up from the ground, his face red and his ears were hot, "Girl, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." ”

The woman, too, seemed to be in a hurry to escape, and quickly got up from the ground, and without saying a word, went straight to the lower stairs.

Yin Qixiu's hands were quick, he reached out to pull her, but without touching her arm, he grabbed the belt of her clothes that she raised when she ran, and unconsciously tugged at her, she was forced to turn around, and stopped in front of him in a spin.

His hand was retracted, and whoever wanted to use too much force tore off the ribbon at once.

Her coat slipped off in an instant, her skin as bare as snow, her neck was slender, and her shoulders were smooth.

"You bastard!"

A slap greeted him and slapped him in the face accurately, with mixed light and darkness, he could vaguely see the appearance of the person in front of him, a little stunned, and he was even more at a loss when he was beaten by her.

She hurriedly picked up her coat on the ground and wrapped it around her body haphazardly, covering her naked flesh.

This time he didn't give her any more room to escape, and directly wrapped the gauze belt in his hand, bound her arms, tied a knot, and the belt was long enough, he moved quickly, dragged her, and tied her to the railing of the stairs.

"Don't be afraid, the girl has no choice but to do it, I just want to ask the girl about it and ask the girl to cooperate. ”

He kept his senses, walked up the road he had just run, picked up the lamp and candle that had fallen on the ground, lit it with the fire fold he carried with him, and lit the lanterns on both sides of the corridor, and then the pavilion became brighter and his vision was restored.

Or subconsciously a little shy, embarrassed to look at her directly, so he used the lamp to delay, one by one, pointed to her, and the eyes were as bright as day, he finally turned around and raised his eyes to see her clearly.

She cried.

The stubborn face was covered with tears, his eyes were full of tears, and his hair was scattered from running, and a few strands were scattered and fluttered on the open placket......

She glared at Yin Qixiu, fearless, as if she was going to die with him, and scolded fiercely: "You dog official! How dare you insult me like this! You have a thousand cuts! You must not die well!"

Yin Qixiu was a little stunned, and didn't know what to do for a while: "How do you know that I am an official?"

She tilted her head: "Are you blind to me? I can't even see the official uniform on my body? Lord Squire! Stinky Dog Official! The Squire Who Kills a Thousand Cuts!"

Yin Qixiu didn't expect her to be so spicy, and her eyes were also very ruthless, so she suddenly said calmly: "Don't scold you first, I didn't mean to." Now that you know that I am an official, let's answer my questions honestly. First, who are you?"

She had no choice but to endure it first, rolled her eyes, and replied: "I'm in this Luo Hong Pavilion, who do you say I am?"

"Are you the girl from Luo Hongge?" he sighed, although this was a clear thing at a glance, he still felt that she didn't look like a dusty woman in his heart: "Then why did you sneak into this main building at this time? Didn't the imperial court seal off this place and forbid anyone to enter or leave? What are your intentions to sneak in late at night alone?"

"I ......" She felt a little weak in the face of this man who was trying a prisoner, and found a reason: "Even if it is temporarily closed, this Luo Hongge is still our place, right? I used to live here, what's wrong with coming back to get something?"

Seeing that he was about to ask, she preemptively said like a bead, and said aggressively: "Then again, who are you? What are you doing here? Do you still come here in the middle of the night to do business? Your Excellency, you are too diligent, aren't you?"

Yin Qixiu said: "I am Yin Qixiu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, I passed by here at night to see that there were lights in the pavilion, and I thought there was a thief, so I came in to take a look, I don't want to be just a troublemaker......

Squire of the Criminal Department, Yin Qixiu......

His surname, his name, and his rank wandered repeatedly in her heart, unbelievable, her eyes widened, and she was quiet for a while, no longer rude, and the tears in her eyes were swirling, and she was crying.

Yin Qixiu saw that she suddenly became like this, thinking that she was frightened by her official rank, and her voice became gentle, "Forget it, this official doesn't care about you as a little woman, tonight's matter will be written off, you don't want to break into the crime scene again." When the case is investigated, it will be returned to you, rest assured, I will not punish you. It's not right for me to tie you up, and I'll make amends to you, right?"

As he spoke, he untied her, but she remained motionless and wept.

As soon as the belt was untied, her hands hung down, and the outer shirt and gauze that were wrapped around her body slipped down again because there was no support.

This time there was candlelight, and his eyes were full of snow white, and he was suddenly stupid, turned his face away, and hurriedly picked up her coat and put it on for her, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Yin Qixiu's face was flushed with shame, coupled with the effect of the wine in his body, he was dizzy, and when he got close to her and smelled her taste, it was like a dream, so unreal, and intriguing.

After dressing her, he dared to turn his face to look at her, and this time she also turned her face and looked at him.

The silk gauze skirt and the red lips of the snow skin made his heart suddenly move, and he panicked uncontrollably. The tears on her cheeks made him feel even more distressed, and before he knew it, he raised his hand and wiped her tears with the cuffs of his official uniform.

She looked at the cautious man in front of her, stopped crying, wrapped up her clothes, straightened her skirt, tied the gauze belt, and the sad color disappeared.

"Are you still investigating Qin Hongmo's case?" she said.

Yin Qixiu was slightly stunned, then reluctantly calmed down, took a step back and said, "Yes." ”

"Can you listen to the little woman's testimony?"

He nodded: "Of course, please also ask the girl to teach." ”

Her eyes were calm, she turned around, looked up at the top floor, and her eyes were like black clouds: "On the day of Qin Hongmo's death, Gu Qingxuan's family came to Luo Hongge and met Qin Hongmo. ”

"What?Gu family?" Yin Qixiu was taken aback.

She said: "Yes, it's them, Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingning, Gu Qinghuan, Gu Qingfeng, there are a lot of them." They came here by another name, so the people from the Criminal Department didn't find this layer, but I recognized them, I watched them enter Luo Hongge with my own eyes that day, and later learned that the Gu family sisters and brothers had seen Qin Hongmo. Qin Hongmo is Yang Longxing's woman, and she generally does not receive other guests, that day Gu Qingning claimed to be a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and forced Qin Hongmo to accompany the bureau, and that night, Qin Hongmo died, my lord, isn't this kind suspicious enough?"

"Yes, it is indeed suspicious......," he was deep in thought, suspicious, not expecting such a turn in the case, "I will investigate it in detail." ”

"Whether Qin Hongmo committed suicide or killed him, it has nothing to do with the Gu family......" she looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "If it is really the conspiracy of the Gu family, will you find out their crimes according to the truth?"

He was touched by her question, as if assuring himself, and he said: "Of course, I will verify it impartially! No matter who it is, there is no chance of it!"

The blood of the past seems to have surged back into my heart, so familiar, so generous.

She smiled: "That's fine." ”

has been hiding for a long time and secretly tracking, and finally let her discover the flaws and heretics of the Gu family, she will bite it tightly, so she will sneak in here tonight, and want to see if there are any clues at the scene of the crime that can prove that the Gu family is related to Qin Hongmo's death, and it can be regarded as an unexpected gain if she doesn't want to bump into him.

After all kinds of despair, it was hard for her to believe that others could give her hope, she didn't know if the person in front of her would live up to her hopes, she only knew that she would not give up, Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingning, Gu Qinghuan, Gu Qingfeng, none of them could escape......

If there is more hope, then the Yin family, she will not let it go......

Yin Qixiu became more and more curious about her: "Who is the girl? Can you tell me the name of Zai Xiafang?"

She shrugged her shoulders and raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It's all said, it's Luo Hongge's girl." Glancing at the flower name plate on the wall, he chose a pleasing one at random, and replied perfunctorily: "My name is Qingzhi." ”

"Qingzhi ......" he pronounced the name and remembered it in his heart.

It's almost, it's time to disperse, she turned her face and said: "It's not early, adults should leave here quickly, in the middle of the night, alone in the Qinglou Yan Pavilion, I'm afraid that I will mistake the adult's name, the adult will go by himself, and it will be easy to investigate the case tomorrow." ”

Yin Qixiu was a little stunned and nodded: "Yes, I should go, the girl should also go back to rest, it's not good here, please go out with me." ”

She bowed her head: "Okay." So he followed him and went with him.

Go up first, blow out the lamps and candles he lit one by one, he was careless in his heart, and forgot to leave a light, so when he blew out the last lamp, his eyes were all dark, and she behind her couldn't help but be startled, and exhaled in surprise.

Afraid of the sudden darkness, she shrank her body and subconsciously leaned forward.

Caught by him, in the dimness, the two hands naturally touched, and his broad palm covered one of her trembling hands and pulled him closer, "Don't be afraid, follow me." ”

He led her forward step by step, and she looked at the silhouette of his figure behind him, walking with peace of mind.

walked down from the top floor to the back door of Luo Hongge, and as soon as the two of them went out, she withdrew her hand.

Yin Qixiu acted as if nothing had happened, and took advantage of the faint light of the sky to cover up the door lock, glue the seal, and use these actions to hide his panicked thoughts.

When I turned around, there was only an empty courtyard behind me, and under the moonlight, there was no trace of wonderful shadows, looking up at the mirror in the night sky, lost and silent.

As far as the eye can see, there is a quiet house, and in this room, which one lives tonight?

Don't want to, let's go.

He persuaded himself to go the way he came, to climb over the wall.

In fact, she watched him leave. She hid behind the stone wall, not saying goodbye to him, because she didn't want him to know where she really was.

After Yin Qixiu left, she waited for a while, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual, she also turned out this piece of painting from the place where he went out.

She walked on the street, at this time, the lively Jiufang Street became deserted and empty, she finally didn't have to hide, walked calmly, and looked at the sleeping Chang'an City.

Chang'an is still that Chang'an, or the imperial capital of the prosperous era, but she is no longer her.

She also loved Chang'an, loved its morning bell and dusk drum, loved its palace painting boat, loved the Shangyuan lantern year after year, and loved the bright moon day after day......

My favorite is the snowy day in Chang'an.

……

"Far Thought, Far Thought!"

In the open avenue ahead, there was the sound of carriages and calls, and someone was calling her name, and now, few people could call her name.

She ran forward and met the person who had come to her in his own car: "Uncle, don't worry, I'll go back." ”

After the incident in the Lu family, she went to her biological mother's younger brother, the former chief writer of the Political Affairs Hall, Zhou Yan, who has been hidden in his home by him. Zhou Yan was also implicated in Lu Yuanzhi's dismissal, but because his status was not high, he was able to save his life and the only remaining blood of the Lu family.

"Didn't you say that you would only come out for a while? Why did it take so long? It's so anxious, you girl, how dangerous is it outside?"

"It's the long-term thinking that makes my uncle worried. ”

In the past, she was a brutal and willful Miss Xiangfu, who was loved by thousands of people, so pampered that no one in her eyes, and her biological mother went early, she never sympathized with her elders, how could she understand how good others were to her? Now she is very grateful to her uncle for his caring complaints.

After getting into the carriage, she asked Zhou Yan to park the car aside, asked him to sit in too, and told him about her meeting Yin Qixiu tonight.

After Zhou Yan listened, he was a little worried, and said, "But, Yuansi, you told him that you are a girl from Luo Hongge, if he goes to you again to ask questions, won't he be exposed?"

Only then did Lu Yuansi realize this, "Yes...... Well, forget it, there's no way around it, even if he knows I'm lying to him? He won't know who I am, and I'll be fine if I don't show up in front of him again. ”

Zhou Yan hung his head, thought about it, and after being speechless for a while, he spoke, "No, think far away, you will have to see him in the future." According to what you said, this Yin Qixiu is not Gu Qingxuan's party, but also a high-ranking official of the Criminal Department, if you use it, it will be very beneficial to what you are planning, think about it, isn't it?"

Lu Yuansi understood what he meant, and agreed, "But how can I use him? If he sees me again, he will know that I am lying to him, how can he believe me?"

Zhou Yan shook his head, as if he had an idea, but after a little hesitation, he said, "No, as long as you don't let him know that you are lying to him, okay?"

"What does Uncle mean?"

He said: "I have a personal relationship with Luo Hongge's aunt, and it is no problem to ask her to hide herself in Luo Hongge......

She was a little surprised: "Uncle, are you saying that I will really enter the Luo Red Pavilion?"

"Yes. You just really pretend to be a girl from Luo Hongge, wait for Yin Qixiu to find you, and then you confuse him and use him to deal with the Gu family. This way your identity will not be revealed, and we have plans for the next step. Don't worry, I will let Aunt Fang take care of you, so that others don't annoy you, I only see Yin Qixiu alone, as long as you rely on him, you will definitely be able to do it......"

"No!" she became indignant, and said, "Uncle, how can you give me such an idea? It's so filthy! I don't want to be a prostitute! I'm the ...... of the Lu family."

What does she want to say? Who is she? The second lady of the Lu family? The daughter of Xiangguofu? The pearl of Lu Yuanzhi?

No, she's nothing.

The imprint of that big family has been completely annihilated in Chang'an City.

She's just a survivor.

An Avenger.

What else can't be given up, what can't be abandoned?

"Good ......"
