"Lord Yushi, if you have a good woman, you have to speak to the lord of the city, and the tired lord will avoid it for the time being. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" She drooped her red and swollen eyelids, and Ying Ying saluted Feng Qingyi.

Feng Qingyi bowed his head and said: "The general is deceased, and I also ask the city lord and his wife to mourn." The minister retired. With that, he Shi Shiran exited the room. I know what Feng Qingyi meant when he said this, he was worried that his second sister-in-law would blame me for his second brother's death.

But that's the case, I'm indirectly responsible for the death of my second brother, and I can't erase or erase it.

After the door was closed, the second sister-in-law first glanced at the two little ones, and then fumbled with her sleeves as if she was going to dig something. I watched her movements, and I felt relieved that she would pull out a dagger, just like last time.

However, she didn't pull out a dagger or a weapon or anything like that. Rather, a man's wrench and a dragon whistle: "Avenge him!" she said, her red, swollen eyes staring straight at me.

"Uh......" I was a little confused by this sudden change, and I looked at the wrench and the dragon whistle and asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, aren't you angry with me and don't hate me?"

I don't understand why she didn't even have a word of resentment after the death of her second brother. Hearing my question, she curled the corners of her lips mockingly: "Anger, hate, of course." ”

She snorted, "But, does it work?"

It really didn't work, so I lowered my gaze and took the wrench and the dragon whistle.

Then, her hoarse voice came faintly: "A few days ago, you disappeared with the fire in the Dragon Training. Husband, he left everything behind and ran back, letting me know that he didn't just care about the power of the Qi family. I've never seen him blame himself like that, and he's solved a question that he couldn't figure out. It turned out that the husband left the General's Mansion to investigate the case, not because he didn't care about us, but because he knew that we were safe. ”

"Sister-in-law......" I looked at her, and tears welled up in my eyes.

She also burst into tears: "Since that day when the assassins entered the dragon training liao, the valley and the wind were in flames, I have realized that you are right...... Blindly swallowing one's anger and making compromises will only make the enemy more arrogant. So, I also supported him, but unfortunately I understood it too late...... My hatred, my resentment is not for you, but for myself!"

"Sister, the wrench in your hand is your husband's good luck wrench. I often heard him say that after his father gave him this wrench, he met a young dragon who loved to listen to stories and read books. Then, I formed an indissoluble bond with it. Subsequently, his father personally found a craftsman to make this dragon whistle and gave it to him. It is said that the negative heart is good, and it can predict whether the owner will encounter calamity and misfortune, and will also issue warnings. ”

"Husband, he loves this gift so much that he always wears it close to him. I was reluctant to take it off even in the shower. Speaking of this, the second sister-in-law smiled with a difficult expression.

My heart is full of sorrow. With such a spiritual dragon by his side, the second brother still died......

That night, when I returned to the palace, Xiaolong followed. It only seems to recognize the wrench and the dragon whistle, which makes me very strange, but the doubt is only for a moment, after all, the second brother has been buried in the coffin, and it is normal for the little dragon to miss the relics of the deceased for a moment.

I, Qi Lingyu, have grown so big, and it is the first time that the Dragon Society has followed me inseparably, but I am not happy at all.

After asking Miao Yan to send an oracle to Fan Yi to thoroughly investigate Jing Niang in the second brother's letter, I went to the study alone with a lantern. On the bookcase, there were stacks of parchment rolls stacked into a mountain, and I hung up the lantern and walked over silently, opened the parchment rolls, spread out the bamboo slips, and wrote while reading.

In the frame on the ground, there are also various bamboo slips, wooden coffins, jade seals, and letters written on silk.

These are the evidence that the second brother exchanged for his life, and the death of the courtier should be banned from the government. But at the moment, I think that when the second brother's bones are still cold, he will complete the evidence one by one, write the file, and immediately send troops to arrest the criminals who should be arrested after the burial, and punish all the criminals according to the crime, which is the best tribute to him.

Therefore, I tirelessly wrote the dossier in the flickering candlelight, and I would solemnly stamp the jade seal with each volume.

Before I knew it, it was the night before the funeral. Miao Yan knocked on the door and asked, "City Lord, the bathing water has been prepared, will you go over now?" she just stood at the door and asked as she usually brought me food.

"I'll go now. I put down the last bamboo slip I had finished writing and rubbed my sore wrist. Then they were stacked neatly, and then the parchment roll and the evidence next to it were put into the secret room of the study, and then they went out.

Xiaolong still followed me every step of the way, just as he followed his second brother at the beginning.

White plum blossoms float on the water where you bathe, and the surroundings are also covered with white gauze. This is the practice of Wolong Valley, the night before the funeral, the relatives of the deceased must bathe in white flowers and step on the road paved with white cloth in order to truly send the deceased on the last journey.

The only white flowers in this season are white plums.

I stripped off my clothes, took off the wrench and dragon whistle that hung around my neck, and slowly stepped into the water as if I were performing a grand ceremony. A moment later, a white-clad man came in to serve.

"City Lord, the color of the flowers on your back seems to have darkened a lot. "She was talking about the birthmark I was born with, the size of a palm, like a flower painted of cinnabar on the vest on my back.

"Maybe it's because the water is too hot. ”

As I spoke, I closed my eyes and buried my face in the water, and I stopped talking, and all that remained in the bathhouse was the sound of rushing water.

After a long time, I came out of the water, and Miao Yan brought me a pure white dress and put it on. There was also a thick white cloak on the outside, and even the circle of fluff on the brim of the cloak was as white as snow.

Finally, she inserted a magnolia hairpin into my bun, and then helped me out, and seemed a little anxious between the steps.

When I was a child, I arrived at the General's Palace. "City Lord. "The people who were already there saluted me, and I motioned for them to excuse me, and then the wizard began to make arrangements for the funeral.

When the time came, the wizard immediately announced the funeral.

In the mighty crowd, I saw the figure of my mother. After talking to her for a few words, the tears broke the embankment again, the second sister-in-law walked in front of the spiritual position, my mother and I were behind, and the eldest sister couldn't come over because she had just given birth to a child, so only her brother-in-law acted on her behalf.

The coffin was brought to the mausoleum, where I stood for a long time, and the little dragon sat at my feet for a long time, until everyone was gone, and I stood alone in the snow, looking at the white candle that was about to burn out. In a trance, I realized that my second brother and I were really separated......

"City Lord, this is what Fan Yi asked the slave to hand over to you just now. He said to look at it when there was no one, and the slave saw that there was no one now, so she took it out. Miao Yan took out a silk silk as thin as a cicada's wings from his wide sleeve and handed it to me.
