The zombies killed by Yinzhen, Yinzhen ordered several guards to wrap the corpses in linoleum cloth and transport them out of the palace to be burned.

He told them to be careful not to get dirty on the road.

In addition, Yinzhen asked Kangxi to issue an order to find a doctor to test the body temperature of everyone in Concubine Yi's palace, and as long as there is a fever, report it to him immediately.

The test results showed that no one had a fever, including Yifei herself, whose body temperature was also normal.

In this way, he was still not at ease, so he called Li Dequan again and asked him to find a way to check everyone's faces in the palace to see if they were covered with 3D printed masks.

This project is huge, and it is quite funny to check, because to test the authenticity of the face, the only way to test the authenticity of the face is to use your hands, and the palace maids and eunuchs can also pull each other, and the concubines with high status can ...... There is only self-puff to prove innocence.

For a while, in the Forbidden City, from the concubines and guards to the palace maids and eunuchs, everyone's cheeks were red.

Although it sounds very funny, but in Ouchi, no one dares to take this as a joke, especially those who witnessed it in the Yifei Palace, they got along with that fake little Shunzi day and night, and they didn't even notice it, what a terrifying thing!

After Yinzhen finished telling this, he stared at Kangxi with his eyes, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Kangxi said angrily: "What? Are you worried that I'm fake? ”

"Erchen doesn't dare." Yin Zhen hurriedly said, "It's just that Erchen is also worried that someone will declare a personal vendetta, beat people to death at will, and then say that the other party is a zombie." ”

Kangxi nodded: "This is also a troublesome place." In this way, during this time, the palace people and others should try to act together as much as possible, and don't be alone. and lest there be danger. ”

After thinking about things almost thoroughly, the topic returned to Brother Jiu and Sjiepan.

Brother Jiu stated the situation to Kangxi one by one, and he untied Si Jiepan's collar and showed Kangxi the traces on his body that were scratched by Bi Tao's hands.

Yinzhen is right, if it weren't for Brother Jiu's quick decision to kill Bi Tao in the house, once this thing was allowed to run to the front hall, Kangxi himself would have to suffer.

The old emperor nodded slightly: "Old Jiu, you have made a great contribution." ”

This sentence can be regarded as completely removing the murder suspicion of Brother Jiu.

But Kangxi still didn't understand: "How could a good person suddenly become that kind of monster?" ”

Yin Zhen thought for a long time before he said: "According to Erchen's guess, it was caused by someone poisoning. Bi Tao probably didn't have bite marks on her body, she shouldn't have turned into a zombie because she was bitten. And in less than half an hour, this is also too hasty. ”

Kangxi frowned and said, "Xiao Shunzi was also poisoned?" Where did his right hand go? ”

Yin Zhen couldn't answer, he suddenly remembered the bottle of formalin hidden behind the Hongli House, which contained a zombie's severed limb.

That's probably Junko's arm!

Come to think of it, Xiao Shunzi was also poisoned, but why did the person who poisoned and pretended to be him tie him up and stuff him with cloth?

Probably to prevent him from going out to bite people, it seems that this person can't afford the consequences of the entire Forbidden City becoming a zombie imperial city.

However, why did he let Bi Tao bite Brother Jiu?

He was thinking hard, and then he heard Kangxi ask: "Fourth, you and Jiu have seen this thing before?" ”

"Yes, I did."

"Where have you seen it?!"

Yinzhen can't answer!

For a long time, he had to say with difficulty: "In ...... Far away. ”

Kangxi stared at him: "You have something to hide from me!" You still won't tell me! Now that such a big thing has happened, you still refuse to say it! ”

Yinzhen, together with the ninth elder brother kneeling below, did not make a sound.

Kangxi looked at them, and suddenly, he sighed softly: "Is it that I am so unworthy of your trust?" ”

These words made Yinzhen tremble in their hearts, before, they had never seen Kangxi put his posture so low.

Finally, Yin Zhen bowed his head and said: "Huang Ama, it's not that the ministers don't want to say it, it's just that they ...... The time has not yet come. When the day comes, the retainers will definitely tell the emperor everything about it. ”

The implication is that now, I have a problem not to say.

Kangxi, who was helpless, nodded slowly: "It's okay." Now that people are sleepy, go back first. Lao Jiu, bring this foreigner back. ”

He paused, and then said with a slight sarcasm: "Death for a confidant." You've found a foreign confidant, haven't you? ”

When he came out of the hall, Yinzhen told Brother Jiu about all the previous negotiations between Si Jiepan and Kangxi.

After speaking, he smiled bitterly: "This guy still wants to send Huang Ama to the electric chair." Fortunately, Huang Ama didn't know what the electric chair was, otherwise he would have pushed him out and beheaded him on the spot. ”

He stretched out his hand and touched Sjiepan's hair like a child: "Typically, the more ignorant you are, the bolder you are, but fortunately because of his insistence, the emperor is willing to give you a way to live." ”

Brother Jiu looked at Si Jiepan silently, looking at his radiant face, although the blood on his forehead was still there, his expression at the moment had become calm and serene.

Because his hand is holding in the hands of Brother Jiu.

When he got on the sedan chair that day, Brother Jiu said to Yinzhen again, thank him for bringing Si Jie Pan into the palace today.

"If it weren't for the fourth brother today, the emperor wouldn't have believed me."

Yin Zhen shook his head: "Why do you say such things? Something so big happened, and you still let me sit at home, how is that possible. ”

Brother Nine was acquitted, and he took Sjepan back to his home.

The news arrived first. So the old and young of the mansion, including Chang Fujin, were waiting for him at the door.

Getting down from the sedan chair, Brother Jiu grabbed Sjepan's hand and helped him to the ground.

He looked up at the room of dependents and slaves.

Everyone's face has the same strange look: under the respect, there is deep panic and fear.

So Brother Jiu understood, they were still afraid of him, they didn't know what was going on in the palace, but they only knew that their master killed a palace maid beside Concubine Yi with his bare hands.

Slightly sad and a little dazed, Brother Jiu looked at them, and he whispered: "It's all gone, what should I do." ”

That night, Brother Jiu personally bathed and changed his clothes for Sjepan, and drugged the wound on his forehead.

He fed Sjepan a few bites of rice, and he yawned as the guy watched.

Thinking about it, he didn't sleep well last night because he was imprisoned for himself.

So Brother Jiu simply asked him to lie down. But he still sat next to Sjepan, holding his hand.

Sjepan looked very sleepy, but he still refused to sleep, and asked Brother Jiu if he had any injuries on his body, whether he was hungry, and whether he slept well last night.

Brother Jiu was sad in his heart, and he couldn't answer Sjiepan one by one, so he only said, fool, how dare you go against the emperor? What if he gets angry and locks you up too?

When Sjepan heard this, he laughed, and he slowly wrote in the palm of Brother Jiu's hand, "Isn't that good? We'll be locked up together. ”

This answer made Brother Jiu's chest surge and made him uncomfortable.

He slowly leaned down and lay down beside Sjepan.

Sensing his approach, Sjepan stretched out his arm, hesitated, and finally took Brother Nine in his arms.

He could feel that Brother Jiu's body was trembling slightly. There was a strange sensation of slight heat where his face was pressed against his chest, and the placket of his shirt was wet.

There is liquid, which penetrates a little bit and expands ......

Suddenly, Sjepan understood that it was Brother Jiu who was crying.

He couldn't help but hug Brother Jiu tighter.

He couldn't hear anything, but Stepan felt that he could hear the cry.

It was the cry that only he could hear in the whole world.

…… It's like a lone wolf's mournful wail.

For the next period of time, Brother Jiu didn't go to the court.

He didn't even go out anymore, just shut himself in his study, and spent his days with Sjepan.

He didn't want to see anyone.

Except for Yinzhen and them, Brother Jiu is very disappointed in everyone in this world. Whether it is his parents, his wife and children...... They can't understand him, they can't understand him, they can't understand him, they can't understand his feelings. Take this incident as an example, if it weren't for Yinzhen's vigorous assistance, he would have been wronged for the rest of his life.

And because of this incident, including Bi Tao's death, he suffered multiple injuries during the period, how painful his heart was, and no one can really understand - what kind of feeling is it to kill people who love him again and again?

…… No one could imagine how desperate he was at that moment.

He can't understand it, people can't understand it, and it's so difficult for each other to establish even the most basic communication.

He really didn't want to bother with it anymore.

He only talks to Sjepan, he only wants to be with Sjepan, although this man is deaf, blind and mute, but Brother Jiu feels that he understands himself better than those people.

During the day, when the sun was fine, he took Sjepan to sit under the eaves of the porch, and while the breeze blew, he combed his hair, and then fed him something to eat, and looked at his happy face. The sun shone on Si Jiepan's face, which was exceptionally bright and soft, and his appearance reminded Nine Elder Brother of a word: Ji Moonlight Wind.

Then he couldn't help but smile, and at the same time leaned over, hugged Sjepan, kissed him on the forehead like a child, and pressed his cheek against his cool blonde hair.

Brother Jiu is like this, everyone in the family is very embarrassed, especially Jiufujin, she is deeply displeased, but she doesn't know how to dissuade her, especially when she learns from Brother Eight that it was Si Jiepan who risked death and Kangxi admonished, and Kangxi was willing to release Brother Jiu...... So listening to this meaning, this blind foreigner has become the benefactor of his family? Is he even more justified to live here for the rest of his life?

Although he knew that he shouldn't, Jiu Fu Jin still couldn't help but complain to the Eighth Elder Brother and Eight Fu Jin, saying that now the Nine Elder Brother doesn't care about everything, and he won't see anyone who comes, but he only said that he was uncomfortable, but in fact, he was sitting in the study and laughing with Si Jiepan.

According to Jiufujin's words, how can you get it if it goes on like this? "Is he going to stay in the study and live with that foreigner for the rest of his life?"

The eighth elder brother listened and smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew the truth, but he couldn't tell Jiufujin those things.

Bafujin and Jiufujin have always been close to each other, she listened to the complaints of her younger siblings, and couldn't help but ask her husband if he could persuade him from the side, "How can Lao Jiu do this?" He has always listened to his master, and if you are silent at this time, you shouldn't be. ”

The eighth elder brother was very embarrassed by his wife.

Compared with others, the eighth elder brother, who is familiar with the common sense of modern psychiatry, understands the feelings of the ninth elder brother better: when a person suddenly encounters a catastrophe, there will inevitably be a stage of stress, and the ninth elder brother is like this at the moment: when his life is threatened, he has to kill the palace maid who has been with him since childhood with his bare hands, and it is easy to escape from death, not only did he not get a little emotional comfort, but he was also regarded as a madman and murderer by his father, and was locked in prison for several days...... With such a serious impact, if someone else had changed, he would have suffered from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) a long time ago, and even mental disorders are possible - this is Lao Jiu, who has a strong personality, so he did not completely collapse.

Even so, it is impossible for Brother Jiu to act as usual as if nothing happened.

He locked himself in his house and watched over Sjepan day and night, narrowing down his social activities to a minimum...... It's nothing more than a form of self-healing. It will take some time for Brother Jiu to regain his sense of security. In a sense, Sjepan is a psychiatrist.

However, these words, the eighth elder brother can't explain to the Bafujin - talking about PTSD to the Qing Dynasty people is not nonsense.

It's just that the eighth elder brother didn't expect that in the most vulnerable stage of his life, the companion chosen by his younger brother was neither his wife and children, nor their brothers who knew the details, but the disabled Sjepan...... Some deeper and more complicated thoughts came to the eighth brother's mind, and after thinking too much, he became inexplicably melancholy.

And in this situation, not only Jiufujin, but after a long time, even the tenth elder brother was dissatisfied.

"Brother Jiu, what are you doing? Frustrated? No more hope? What's wrong with just waiting for the end of the year to take Sjepan to ascend? He hated, "That's not true!" I'll have to persuade him! ”

The eighth elder brother stopped him and said, "How can you persuade him?" Lao Jiu has been in a bad mood recently, everyone can understand this, why do you want to poke him at this juncture? ”

"I won't say anything else, starling, how can he mix with a gay guy all day long!"

Eighth Elder Brother smiled: "How can you talk about other people's sexuality? ”

On the side, Yin Zhen also said: "Don't you know, Old Ten? No matter how high-end the company is, once the employee's sexual orientation is investigated, it can only wait to be complained, which is privacy. ”

"But I'm not Brother Jiu's boss! I'm not an unrelated passerby! I'm his brother! Brother Ten said indignantly, "How can I not care!" ”

The eighth elder brother was surprised: "You discriminate against comrades? We don't have this tradition in the Qing Dynasty, right? Old ten, how did you learn this problem from 300 years later? ”

Brother Ten immediately said, "It's not a problem I learned!" I don't discriminate against anyone either! I just don't want my ninth brother to become gay! ”

Eighth Elder Brother shook his head.

Yinzhen felt funny: "What are you going to do if he really becomes gay?" In my opinion, even if you sue the palace, Huang Ama may not be able to take care of you. In the past, how many male pets in Yuqing Palace were enough to open a hall. Do you think Huang Ama doesn't know? The old man didn't even lift his eyelids. ”

"Who said I was going to sue! I'm going to persuade Brother Jiu! ”

Yin Zhen shook his head even more: "Is that kind of person like Lao Jiu listening to persuasion?" Don't bother. ”

Although he couldn't refute Yinzhen, Brother Ten was still unwilling, he thought about it and said, "At least I'm going to pull him out of the house!" Can't let him fool around with that Russian all day long! I've got to figure it out! ”
