Chapter 315: Heavy
quickly picked up the agarwood box and handed it back to Thirteen: "Even if you withdraw from the business, you are still the benefactor of our Su family." You keep it, no matter when, no matter what you do, as long as we can help, just come back. โ
"Miss Su is serious." Thirteen thanked lightly, "I and you have been using each other since the beginning, and now that the cooperation is over, there is no more to do with it, how can you say it?" โ
Su Wan couldn't figure out why he could be so light and negate the three years of the past three years: "Even if it's just using each other, isn't what you're going to do now the same as what my brother wants to do?" Since the goals are the same, why can't we continue to use each other? โ
"Because you don't understand how terrible the idle pavilion is."
Su Wan looked at him blankly, her eyes red. When she reacted, she hurriedly turned her face away, not wanting him to see her wolf bรจi. Thirteen understood her thoughts, and it was because he couldn't respond to her that he deliberately avoided her again and again. His heart is not big, and he can only accommodate that one person.
"Yesterday I met the third son of the Qi family in the north of the city, although this person is a little wooden, but he is a real person."
Su Wan nodded and did not respond. She understood the meaning of Thirteen, the third son of the Qi family, **** Yan, since he saw her for the first time two years ago, he ran to the Su family's shop twice in three days. This person is not as indifferent as Thirteen, nor as sleek as Su Lihe, he was born in a large family, pampered and raised, but he looks dull, has no dignity, and is even more clumsy in front of her. Whenever Su Wan ignored him or gave him a cold look, he was not annoyed, he would only smirk.
"In the future, be more mindful in business, and don't be greedy for utilitarianism. Also let your brother beware, don't make big moves for at least two years. Unless there is a figure like the Marquis of Dingguo to rely on. Thirteen woke up, she was a sensible girl, she had always known how to advance and retreat, and she was very accurate.
Su Wan agreed, and then waited for a long time without hearing any sound, and turned around to find that Thirteen had already left. She looked at the agarwood box on the table, and she couldn't help crying out loud with sadness.
"Miss Su!" A person broke in in a panic, it was **** words. He came to look for Su Wan and was told that Su Wan was talking to the guests in the inner room, so he waited in the outer hall. Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard her crying, and I was afraid that she would be bullied, so I immediately rushed in. The room was neatly furnished, and it didn't look like something had happened. He didn't know the reason why she was sad, he wanted to comfort her, but he was afraid of abruptly abrupt her and making her angry, so he was so nervous for a while that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Su Wan was teary-eyed, looking at his helpless appearance, thinking of the person's coldness, she was even more sad, and immediately threw herself into his arms, crying even more fiercely. Yan was so frightened that he stood on the spot.
At this time, Nineteen received orders from the Pavilion Master and was sent to the Eagle Hall to begin "special" training to learn to be a real woman. When Thirteen came back and heard the news, he immediately went to see her, but before he reached the door, he was stopped by the people of the Ant Hall, and at the same time brought an order from the pavilion master, asking him to go to Suzhou immediately for an urgent mission. By the time Thirteen finished his tedious task and returned to the idle pavilion, Nineteen had already been sent to Bianjing's largest flower and willow place, the Red Sleeve Move.
The person who escorted her was sixteen. The man who kept a straight face all day long, as if the whole world owed him his life.
The only fixed partner of the Idle Pavilion was broken.
Thirteen major illnesses. It's not that he didn't think about resisting, but he couldn't afford the consequences of resisting: the Pavilion Master would not hesitate to execute him, leaving Nineteen behind. Because nineteen still has use value. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that after he dies, no one will take care of Nineteen with all his heart.
And in Bianjing, Nineteen made a big disturbance again: during the assassination, Sixteen arranged for her to stay, wanting her to divert people's attention with her beautiful face and deal with unfinished matters as an ordinary person.
Fortunately, she was good at kung fu and fled the scene before alarming the big guys; Fortunately, the 16th remediated the situation in time, mobilized the intelligence personnel to create a commotion, and successfully diverted people's attention, but finally did not cause serious consequences; Fortunately, she was beautiful, and the pavilion master was reluctant to hurt this good skin, so he didn't suffer too much.
The remarks about her spread in the rivers and lakes. Everyone knows that there is a female killer in Xiange, whose name is Nineteen, who was born with the fragrance of the country, and is a natural killing weapon for the city, and then for the country.
It was early September. The summer heat has not completely dissipated, and a drizzling autumn rain brings a cool atmosphere. After Nineteen returned to the idle pavilion, he was confined for his flamboyant behavior as a small punishment and a big warning.
The so-called confinement is to close a small black room. The house was built in a dungeon, only seven steps square, without any furnishings, not even a bed. Close the door and plunge into endless darkness. Every two days, the guards bring food and water to them through the small window under the door. Other than that, there is no communication with the outside world.
It's a bit stuffy, but it's absolutely safe. After Thirteen made sure that she was okay, he hurried up and went to the capital again.
He hasn't given up yet. The capital has always been a gathering place for talented people, and everything is possible here. So, when Thirteen found out that Su Lihe, who was supposed to be in Luo County, Jinzhou, also appeared in the capital and had a relationship with Yang Zhongxian, he was not too surprised.
When Yang Zhongxian was in the limelight in the palace examination, Thirteen still kept in touch with Su Lihe and commented on him.
Yang Zhongxian's family is still famous in his hometown, but it is inconspicuous in the aristocratic capital. After being the champion in high school, he humbly blended in the middle of the capital family, neither deliberately pleasing anyone, nor obviously snubbing anyone, and his tactfulness was no less than that of Su Lihe, who was born in business. After being appointed as the Imperial Doctor, many people began to snub him, but he did not take it seriously, and still maintained the old style. Thirteen asserted that this person will definitely have a great achievement in the future, and his career will never be limited to a small imperial history.
The question is, Su Li and his mind are now on Twelve, how can they contact Yang Zhongxian? Could it be that he found something wrong in Luo County?
Su Lihe did find a big case in Luo County.
At the beginning of the year, when the imperial examination was released, the thirteenth once reminded him: When doing things in the court, you must think twice before acting; If you encounter a big event that you can't get involved in, at least drag someone to do it together. This person can't have too deep roots in the court, can't be unprincipled, and can't be too stubborn.
Su Lihe understood the meaning of the thirteen, a person with a foundation is completely able to protect himself, and will abandon his companions when facing danger; People without principles are unbelievable; People who don't know how to be flexible will drag everyone to a dead end. At that time, he asked Thirteen: Is there such a person in the court?
"Yes, Yang Zhongxian." Thirteen answers.
Thirteen has never looked at people, and Su Lihe has taken his words to heart. Recently, Su Lihe has been secretly investigating the cause of death of the former Master Cui in Luo County. He discovers that Master Cui did not die of illness as rumored, but was murdered. In the dossier made by Master Cui before his death, several murders were specially marked, and they were the direct cause of Master Cui's extermination. Su Lihe was shocked to realize that behind this series of murders, there must be a huge conspiracy.
Su Lihe is very shrewd. He is ready to use this series of murders to pave a career path for himself. Of course, Shilu is not his ultimate goal, what he wants to do is to get involved in the situation of the imperial court, and use the power of the imperial court to find a safe credential for himself, so that the people in the idle pavilion cannot deal with him lightly, at least they have scruples when they do it. Only then will he have the opportunity to plan the affairs of Twelve.
He did not contact Yang Zhongxian directly, but asked someone to bring him a copy of the codex. The codex records the scenes, trials, and verdicts of these murders. Yang Zhongxian soon found out that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to join forces with Su Lihe to uncover the conspiracy.
In his bones, he, like Su Lihe, is not a person who keeps to himself.
When Thirteen saw them by chance, he sensitively sensed the breath of wind and rain. The land of right and wrong should not be stayed for a long time. He was still thinking about the nineteenth, and quickly returned to the idle pavilion, waiting for news from the capital.
Half a month's confinement was not a very severe torture for Nineteen. The terrible thing about confinement is that it tests the mind. In loneliness and darkness, uncontrolled imagination can drive people crazy. Nineteen is a very simple person, she doesn't have much thought, and she doesn't have a messy imagination, and this half-month confinement tortures her the most about sleep. Because there are no beds in the confinement room. When the half-moon period came, Thirteen took her out, and she slept in the thirteenth room that night.
Thirteen stayed awake all night, looking at her quiet sleeping face, completely the same as before, and his heart slowly settled down. No matter what happens, she is still the ignorant little girl. The weather is getting cooler, and in order to make her stay more comfortable, Thirteen specially buys a new mattress.
Seventeen came back in the afternoon, and when he passed by the gate of Thirteen, he happened to see Nineteen taking a break beside him, and suddenly showed an ambiguous smile, and winked at Thirteen. Thirteen didn't bother to explain, and looked away from him.
He understood that in the eyes of Nineteen, this was just a simple resting place.
When I was a child, Nineteen Lai was by Thirteen's side, eating and sleeping with him, and I never felt inappropriate. When selecting the elite, Thirteen openly disobeyed the orders of the pavilion master, and although he saved his life in the end, he still suffered a lot of flesh and blood. After getting the elite number, each of them was assigned to a room and began to live alone. Nineteen continued to live with him in order to take care of him. After recovering from her injuries, Thirteen persuaded her to move into her room on the grounds that "men and women are different". She was very aggrieved and thought that Thirteen was going to abandon her.
She was twelve years old and had no gender in her head at all. It took Thirteen half a year for her to understand: she wasn't abandoned, she just couldn't sleep in Thirteen's bed anymore. At the beginning of this year, Thirteen was deliberately transferred, and the Pavilion Master asked her to understand the difference between men and women. Since then, there has been a faint fear in her heart, and the word "man" has suddenly become unfamiliar. A few days ago, Eagle Hall's training allowed her to learn to control men. She learns quickly, but she always has an inexplicable fear in her heart, unable to sleep steadily, and highly nervous.
It is precisely because of this that she is suspicious and makes mistakes when carrying out her mission. After returning to Thirteen's side, the nerves that had been tense for several months finally eased and I slept peacefully.
She habitually regards Thirteen as a reliance, and habitually feels that as long as Thirteen is by her side, there is nothing for her to worry about, forgetting the fact that Thirteen is also a man.
Thirteen didn't persuade her to return to her room. The successive separations made him more aware that he could lose her at any time. So he was more cautious and paid more attention to the movements of the imperial court. -- Ordinary Jianghu organizations could not compete with the idle pavilion, and he could only seek a turning point in the imperial court.
At this point, he made the same choice as Su Lihe. But he didn't plan to find Yang Zhongxian to join forces.
On the second day after the end of the confinement on the 19th, the movement in the capital really began.
Yang Zhongxian, the imperial historian, wrote a letter to impeach Jin Xu, the magistrate of Luo County, Jinzhou, for corrupting the law and disregarding people's lives. According to the usual practice, if a small county magistrate commits an incident, he can directly hand it over to the prefect for handling; If the case is serious, it will be handed over to the state and county Taishou to deal with, and there is no need to go up to heaven to hear it. Many people think that Yang Zhongxian is making a big fuss and ridicule him for making a fuss about trivial things.
Unexpectedly, the saint actually used "human life is a matter of heaven" as an excuse to transfer the excerpt to Dali Temple. Ding Chaozhen, the secretary of Dali Temple, couldn't understand the meaning of the saint, and suddenly had a headache, and muttered in his heart. If the facts of the case are true, the case can be big or small: to put it mildly, retry the case, and treat Jin Xu's crime as the end of the matter; In the big picture, not only to treat Jin Xu's crimes, but also to treat relevant personnel, to look at the low level to deal with Jin Xu's subordinates, and to look at the high place, even Jinju Taishou can be detained as a big hat of negligence. In addition, if the case is not true, how to deal with Yang Zhongxian is also a thorny problem, and it is a crime to understand the emperor's intentions.
Ding Chaozhen is an old fox. He couldn't figure out what the saint meant, so he simply stopped pondering, and instead pondered the saint's attitude towards Yang Zhongxian: it seemed to be a favor rather than a favorite, but it seemed that he was deliberately training him. Thinking about this clearly, Ding Chaozhen's heart suddenly became clear, and he personally selected a person named Kang Zhao to investigate the case.
Kang Zhao's grade is not high, he is the deacon of Dali Temple, from the ninth grade, he usually does not even have the opportunity to go to court. This case, investigated by a small deacon, and personally supervised and interrogated by Dali Siqing, can neither be called grand nor sloppy, and no one can find the slightest mistake.
Kang Zhao's ability to do things is very good, but he is quite a bit of a nerd, he doesn't know how to turn around, and he won't please his boss and the people around him. Ding Chaozhen asked him to do things, on the one hand, as long as Kang Zhao was provided with investigation convenience, Kang Zhao could do things well; On the other hand, just find an excuse to suppress Kang Zhao and stop the case at any time.
After that, the trial process of this case became a stage for Su Lihe's performance. He is just a small master, and he has no qualifications to participate in the major affairs of the court, and can only indirectly influence the people in the court. Kang Zhao's style of acting is too obvious, and he is completely brainless in terms of human sophistication, and he can guess what he will do when he finds out about the situation
