Nineteen was born too beautiful, and the pavilion master would never let her only do tasks in the shadows. In exchange for the corresponding information and the opportunity to assassinate, it is one of the tasks that she will have to do in the future.

Thirteen was silent, his mind in turmoil.

Half a month later, Su Lihe finally met Twelve. At that time, spring was strong.

A master died in Luo County, Jinju. Su Lihe replaced the position of this master. Xinke Jinshi was appointed as a little master, and it was still a small deserted county, so Su Lihe was not too surprised. He has no roots and no foundation in the court, so naturally he can't get the fat difference. Unexpectedly, after he went to work, he found that the death of the original master seemed to be strange.

He came from a merchant's background, and his cautious habits prevailed, and he didn't have much curiosity and didn't plan to do much, but a small accident broke his mind and made him start to think about something.

On the first day of his arrival, after the handover of the official documents, a small official led Su Lihe to his new residence, which was the former residence of the former master. Su Lihe has always been bold, he doesn't taboo these, and he simply finishes cleaning up and rests early. I woke up in the middle of the night and found a man in black standing next to the bed. Slightly shorter, not thirteen, but similar to the figure he missed.

"Miss Sun?" Su Lihe quickly calmed down and asked tentatively.

The man in black said in a muffled voice: "How do you know it's me?" ”

Su Lihe's eyebrows curled: "Guess." I haven't seen you in months, how are you doing? He lifted the quilt and sat up, and was more surprised than happy, and quickly scooped up the coat beside the bed, put it on, and raised his hand to hold the lamp, so that he could see her appearance clearly.

"No, I'll leave right away." Twelve immediately stopped him, "What should be confused, honestly pick it up." Also, don't look for me again. It's not something you can mess with. Her words implied a warning, which was tantamount to admitting the identity of the idle pavilion in disguise.

Su Lihe didn't break it, he only snickered in his heart, becoming more and more sure of his thoughts, who knew that when he raised his eyes and saw that she was leaving, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Miss Sun!" ”

Twelve frowned: "I have long given up this surname." ”

Su Lihe stubbornly stopped her: "Sue me, why do you want to abandon it?" ”

Twelve shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you. ”

Su Lihe has never practiced martial arts. If Twelve insisted on leaving, he couldn't stop him at all. But in front of him, Twelve could not restrain himself and be tough on him. Maybe from the first meeting, some things are already predestined. From the first time they met two years ago, his chuckle crashed into her eyes, and from this moment into her heart, it was not only her most secret sweetness, but also her most nervous concern. So when she heard that Su Lihe had come to Luo County, she immediately looked for it regardless of it, for fear that he would find out about the conspiracy here and provoke death in vain.

Su Lihe didn't seem to know Twelve's embarrassment, and asked with a smile and persistence: "Then you sue me, what is your current name?" ”

Twelve: Don't answer. Su Lihe stared at her and said slowly, "I've heard a story. Once upon a time, there was a court official surnamed Sun. One day he made a mistake, and the Holy Majesty ordered the punishment of his nine clans. On the day of the execution, a righteous girl in the house put on the lady's clothes, hid the lady, and sent her to death on her behalf. In the end, a fire broke out in the Sun Mansion, and the bodies of more than 100 people in the whole mansion were reduced to ashes at the same time as the building. The young lady who was transferred, some say she escaped, some say she died in the fire. Did she survive, you guess? ”

Under the cover of the night, Su Lihe couldn't see the twelve white faces, only heard her breathing suddenly short, knowing that she had guessed correctly, and couldn't help but smile on her lips again: "I came to take the imperial examination, and it was really correct." ”

The smile was clearly proud, with a bit of high-spirited show-off, but it didn't mean to laugh at her at all. The affairs of the Sun family were rumored through ups and downs back then. He and her, one side of the relationship, left only the last name of the tip of the heart. In his persistent search, he imagined all kinds of possibilities, ruled out all kinds of assumptions, and finally came to a cautious conclusion.

"I didn't worry about the idle pavilion. I remember the first time I met you, two years ago. At that time, you were actually following the Dingguo Marquis Lan Lietian, right? The second time, it was in August last year. I don't know what you're doing, but three days later, when the news of the death of the minister came out, I began to wonder if I could be closer to you by entering the imperial court. Because you're always around the courtiers. ”

"It wasn't until a few days ago that the nineteen names of the Idle Pavilion became famous all over the world, and together with the various gossip of the Idle Pavilion, it was also publicized everywhere that I connected you with the Idle Pavilion, and then, all kinds of assumptions became reasonable."

"Miss Sun, I respect you very much, and I feel sorry for you. So I want to help you and want to enter Dali Temple. If one day, the Sun family overturns the case, can you give me a chance? ”

No matter what happens, Su Lihe always maintains a suave demeanor. On the surface, it is a breezy and breezy cloud, but in fact, he has long been quietly observed, keeping the details in mind and making the most careful calculations. It was precisely because of his temperament that Thirteen chose to cooperate with him, and deliberately woke him up in contact, so that he could give full play to such a temperament. That's why he was able to keep the information he needed in mind with just a few contacts, and trace the cause and effect with clues.

"Even if the case is overturned, what's the use? Dead people will never come back to life......" Twelve's voice was choked, trembling with hatred that had been buried for many years, and she even forgot to ask Su Lihe how she knew about these pasts, word by word, with blood and tears, and gritted her teeth: "Now I only have hatred in my heart." I'm going to find out all the people behind it, and then kill them with my own hands. ”

If you encounter pain that cannot be reversed, the only thing you can do is to take revenge: find out who is causing you pain, and make them a hundred, if not a million times more painful, than you.

Su Lihe hugged her into his arms, and a gentle kiss imprinted on her forehead to soothe her sadness: "A smart girl like you should laugh wantonly in the sun, instead of wandering in the dark with a sharp knife in her hand. These things are too bloody for you. I'm not going to stop you, but I'll leave all of this to me, okay? Let me do it for you. ”

"I'm just a little master now, and I'm not qualified to promise you anything, but I'm serious, I want to carry all the darkness for you, and I want to promise you a bright future."

In fact, Su Lihe has a lot to say, a lot of questions to ask, and even more enthusiasm, such as the conviction of his grandson's family; For example, she was met by the owner of the idle pavilion, whether it was really a chance encounter; For example, he wants to imprison her forever and forever, and wants to see her smiling face all the time...... But he was afraid of scaring the people in front of him, so he silently buried them in his heart.

"Smack!"

The sudden voice startled the two of them. Twelve hurriedly stopped in front of Su Lihe, looked at the source of the sound, and saw Thirteen standing by the window with a gloomy face, holding a broken branch in his hand, not knowing when he came in.

Twelve Qiang calmed down and asked him with a white face, "When did you come?" ”

"I've followed you all the way." Obviously there is no task, but he wants to come to a remote small place like Luo County, and he still goes out in the middle of the night, and his natural appearance is suspicious. Thinking of Su Lihe here, the purpose of the twelve is obvious.

What she said to Su Lihe, he heard it all? Twelve was very worried: if the matter leaked out, according to the rules of the idle pavilion, she would be executed immediately! She knew she couldn't complain about Thirteen, he had warned her, but she didn't want to die yet.

Just as she was about to explain, Su Lihe had already walked out from behind her. Finding out that it was thirteen, Su Lihe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was about to say something, when thirteen spoke in a deep voice and said to twelve: "Go out." I have something to say to Su Gongzi. ”

From the moment he entered the Idle Pavilion, Twelve had a vague fear of Thirteen. At the beginning, she took the opportunity to get close to nineteen, if it wasn't for nineteen to stop her, I was afraid that thirteen would have killed her a long time ago. Now that the handle is in his hands, Twelve can't resist. However, she couldn't rest assured that Su Lihe, for fear that Thirteen would hurt him, so she hesitated for a long time and couldn't move her steps.

Seeing this, Thirteen sneered: "Since you are not at ease, it doesn't hurt to listen to it." Then he turned to Su Lihe: "Starting from the green bamboo hairpin, plus the silver invested in the Su family's shop in three years, a total of three thousand taels. Give you two months to prepare, and I'll come over and get the money in two months. ”

Su Lihe's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "You...... Are you going to withdraw from business? ”

Thirteen nodded: "Yes." From now on, the life or death of the Su family has nothing to do with me. He was not asking for Su Li's opinion, but announcing the facts categorically.

Su Lihe was stunned. Three thousand taels is not a small amount, and if it is taken out rashly, the Su family shop is afraid that it will be difficult to turn over for a while. Thirteen didn't ask for interest, and was willing to give him two months to prepare, and he had already sold a lot of favors. Also, what did he say? The life or death of the Su family has nothing to do with him? How do you explain to your little sister when you turn around?

After thirteen finished speaking, he stopped looking at Su Lihe, turned to face twelve, and began to calculate another account: "If there was no nineteen three years ago, you wouldn't even be able to get the number." Then you owe her her life. Today, you owe her one more time. ”

It wasn't until Thirteen left for a long time that Twelve slowly reacted and asked Su Lihe, "You ...... Know? ”

Su Lihe just came back from his surprise, and explained with a wry smile when he heard this: "The Su family is almost supported by him in secret. Three years ago, he used his money to pay off his debts, and he also borrowed his hand to deal with some things, and then it slowly developed. Seriously, he is the biggest proprietor. ”

"Then why did he say I owe Nineteen?"

"I guess, the Su family is probably his chess for Nineteen Bu."

"He uses you as a pawn?" Twelve was very unhappy. She has no ill will towards Nineteen, but she cares more about Su Lihe.

"It's not a chess piece." Su Lihe sighed, "He didn't say it at first, but then we quickly guessed it, and when we asked him for confirmation, he didn't deny it." At best, we're just using each other. ”

"And now?" Twelve asked hesitantly.

Su Lihe continued to analyze her: "Because my recent actions are a bit eye-catching, he feels that the Su family is not safe, so he simply brushes it off, and by the way, he will sell your personal favor." But you're not going to get rid of me because of this, are you? ”

"How could it be...... All these things are caused by me......"

"Would you like to bring him a message for me? Two months later, I invited him to the Su family shop in Yangzhou and asked my little sister to get money. "It would be nice if my little sister could see it. Emotional matters, it's really troublesome.

After that, Su Lihe officially took over the affairs of the master. He is good at dancing with long sleeves, travels south and north, has a wide range of knowledge, and knows how to win people's hearts, and soon mingles with the people of the county government and is praised.

Luo County is a small remote place, the people are simple, colleagues think that he is an honest man, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions when he first arrives in the officialdom, so he kindly reminds him of various precautions. Su Lihe put on a teachable appearance, agreed with a smile, and humbly thanked everyone.

He was a civil servant, and he had to go through a large number of files, and soon found that something was wrong.

Colleagues reminded him that he had two days off every 156 every month. However, many of these files are dated as these two dates. Colleagues listened to his question and said with a smile: "The predecessor Master Cui is alone, has no family, and lives in the county office. We are all locals, so naturally we have to go home to see it in the past two days, and the county government is quite deserted. Master Cui has nothing to do in the past two days, and he only cares about playing with us on weekdays, and the files are all delayed until these two days. ”

Su Lihe put on a look of sudden realization, and the speed of flipping through the file suddenly became much faster. Except for these two days, everything else was swept away. -- If you want to avoid people's eyes, these two days are the most appropriate time. Then he found that some of the contents of the dossier in the past two days had been deliberately changed in font. He secretly paid attention to the content of the font change, and still gossiped with his colleagues with a light smile on his face.

The content of the font change is six homicides. A murder case in the city, two years ago Luo County, a well-known wealthy businessman Lu Chengye died unexpectedly, after the trial of the case, it was determined that Lu Xinna's concubine Hua Shi murdered for money, there were poison residues found in Hua's room, as well as Hua's confession as evidence, and Hua was executed after the autumn of that year. The other five were nameless corpses found in remote places around Luo County, and because no one identified the bodies, they were all sentenced to death in a brawl. On the face of it, these treatments are reasonable.

Su Lihe's intuition told him: there must be hidden circumstances in several cases. Maybe it has something to do with the idle pavilion.

Besides, Twelve wouldn't come to warn him for no reason and ask him to pretend to be confused. It's just something related to the idle pavilion, and he is not willing to give up lightly no matter what. Every word he said to Twelve that night had been carefully considered. He is not a person who makes promises, and he is not a person who betrays promises.

Regarding the matter of the thirteenth being withdrawn from the business, Su Lihe felt ashamed of his little sister and was ashamed, so he just sent a letter home, briefly explaining the cause and effect, and asking the little sister to bother raising money. When Su Wan received the letter, she pinched the thin paper, and she wanted to cut her brother with a thousand knives. After thinking about it for a long time, he replied, and put down the word Liao Liao: "I have learned." "Nothing else.

That night, Su Wan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. It's not that there is no resentment, but he understands his brother's distress, so he doesn't want to say more.

Three years ago, when the Su family was most desperate, the creditor deceived the family and threatened to repay the huge debt within three days, so she asked her to sell herself as a prostitute and her brother to sell himself as a slave to pay off the debt. Competitors also took the opportunity to blackmail and coerce the Su family to sell the title deed of the shop. Old Father Su was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. Thirteen visited him at that time
