Chapter 61: Arrest - Rape
After Sui'er offered fragrant tea and four-color refreshments, she retreated with interest. In Guo Chengsi's deep gaze, Zhong Ziyuan stubbornly recounted what happened to Brother Zhuang again.
During this period, Li Xiucai stood aside honestly, neither daring to interject nor raising his eyes to look at Guo Chenghe.
Rongxi chatted with him from time to time, or let him drink tea, or invite him to refreshments, so that he didn't feel so suffocated and embarrassed.
After listening to Zhong Ziyuan's narration, Guo Chengsi did not speak for a long time. Zhong Ziyuan secretly raised her eyes and glanced at him with some uncertainty. Of course, she tried to avoid his exposed chest.
Guo Chengsi closed his eyes, his slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the table in front of him, obviously he was falling into some kind of contemplation. After a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Neighbor, please go out first, I have something to say to Dr. Jia." โ
Zhong Ziyuan blinked and looked at him in confusion, and Li Xiucai was also stunned and did not react. However, Rongxi understood his thoughts, and immediately pulled Li Xiucai, and Li Xiucai reacted at this time, it turned out that this neighbor was referring to himself. So he was pulled out by the clever Rongxi, and only Zhong Ziyuan and Guo Chengsi were left in the house.
Under Guo Chengsi's deep gaze, Zhong Ziyuan suddenly felt that the temperature in the room had become much higher, her mouth was a little dry, and her nose was also itchy, as if there was a precursor to nosebleeds.
When Zhong Ziyuan was sitting still, Guo Chengsi suddenly smiled and said, "Doctor Jia, are you using me?" Got used to it? โ
What? Zhong Ziyuan didn't expect that he would ask such a boring question after holding the shelf for a long time. But seeing that his face was tight, it seemed that this question was very important to him. made Zhong Ziyuan's little heart also go up and down. She cautiously probed: "Why does the prince have such a question? โ
Guo Chengsi said coldly: "You came to me, not to borrow a token to meet your uncle, or to help your so-called neighbor get rid of his crimes." It never seemed like he was looking at me for the sake of seeing me. โ
What! Zhong Ziyuan opened her mouth wide in astonishment! I heard Guo Chengsi continue to reprimand: "Why can you go on a cruise with Zhu Fei, listen to the drama together, and drink together, but you came to me." In addition to borrowing tokens to avenge people? Could it be that the gap between me and Zhu Fei is so big? โ
What! Zhong Ziyuan's jaw was about to fall to the ground. Why does this sound so resentful, and there is a faint suspicion of jealousy? Zhong Ziyuan suddenly had an idea and thought of a single possibility. That is, Guo Chengsi blamed himself for taking up too much of Zhu Fei's time. So he's expressing his displeasure.
She thought of Zhu Fei's demonic appearance again, and she traveled with him many times, and every time she had to praise his charm of killing both men and women. Could it be that this Guo Chengsi looks as handsome as the sun, in fact, he also secretly admires Zhu Fei, a demon. Come to think of it. She secretly glanced at Guo Chengsi a few more times. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was a very high possibility. Am you careless. became his rival?
It's a pity that an excellent person like Guo Chengsi would actually like a man, it's such a waste. In fact, it can't be blamed that Zhong Ziyuan has such thoughts. Because in this drunken and extravagant Chang'an City. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries who are bored of visiting Qing-Lou, and they fall in love with those small restaurants. This Longyang is good, the wind of broken sleeves and peaches is gradually flourishing, and the endless small pavilions have faintly formed a trend of confrontation with that Fengyue Street.
Thinking of this, Zhong Ziyuan swallowed his saliva. Reluctantly said: "That, that's because you are busy with official business. It's not like us ordinary people, who have nothing to do, so we wander around. After a pause, she said again: "The investigation of the case is expensive, I believe that the prince must understand the meaning of this sentence as a servant of the criminal department." I also asked the prince to take action earlier to save the wronged and aggrieved Brother Zhuang. โ
Guo Chengsi opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, when Sui'er's beautiful voice came from outside the house: "Is the cousin girl here?" โ
Just listen to a crunchy, lark-like voice ringing cheerfully: "Is my cousin asleep?" When I heard that he was a guest, I made my own fruit ice bowl and let my cousin and his friends cool off together. โ
"My cousin really has a heart, why don't you let me bring it in! It's not early, so you should go back and rest early. Sui'er gently persuaded.
The cousin flatly refused: "It's okay, I slept late at noon, and I was sleepy this time, and I couldn't sleep anymore." I'll bring this ice bowl in, and by the way, let me get to know my cousin's friends. โ
Guo Chengsi was originally vigilant, pricking up his ears and eavesdropping carefully. Seeing that Sui'er couldn't resist anymore. He was in a hurry, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhong Ziyuan, who was the old god, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
He sat up abruptly, grabbed Zhong Ziyuan's wrist, and pulled her to him. Then he leaned close to her lovely earlobe, and said in a low and quick voice: "This woman is the most hated woman in my life." But she is the granddaughter of my grandmother's mother's family, so it is not easy to offend. If you can find a way to help me get rid of her, it's best to let her stop pestering me anymore. I'll help get your friend out. What do you think? โ
Zhong Ziyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Really?" โ
"Seriously." Guo Chengsi's answer was categorical.
"No matter what method I use, just let her stop pestering you?" Zhong Ziyuan further confirmed.
"Yes." Listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer outside, his heart slowly became anxious.
"Then you promise not to be angry." Zhong Ziyuan was still a little worried.
"I promise not to be angry." Guo Chengsi was so anxious that he almost didn't raise his hand to swear to God.
Zhong Ziyuan suddenly jumped on the bed as lightly as a tanuki, and lay beside him. She rested her head on Guo Chengsi's smooth, velvety chest, and a pair of plain hands rested on his flat and delicate lower abdomen. The warm breath of exhalation sprayed all over his skin, and then he closed his eyes tightly.
It was just now that she had made this ambiguous pose. The bamboo curtain of the Xiangfei was lifted, and several mermaids walked in.
The girl at the head is not only very beautiful, but also wears a bright red Tianxiangjuan gauze dress. Thin and slightly transparent, you can faintly see the water-red mandarin duck belly pocket inside. Her skin was white and moist, glowing like jade in the candlelight. Maybe it's in a hurry. There were slight beads of sweat on the tip of her pretty nose, and her cheeks were flushed with shyness, like a fairy coming out of a painting.
The beauty of this girl is still above Ye Meisu, but her originally smiling face, when she saw the ambiguous situation between the two people in the room, she first stiffened, and then pursed her lips. frowned, and said with a considerate face: "Cousin, you brought these indiscreet people into the mansion." The old ancestor will be unhappy. โ
The girl in red's eyes were full of angry fireworks, and she kept looking at Zhong Ziyuan, from top to bottom, not letting go of every inch. Especially her hand on his chest. It's so glaring. I wish I could burn a big hole in that hand.
Although Zhong Ziyuan closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, she seemed to sense her resentful gaze, and she couldn't help but shudder.
Guo Chengsi's whole body suddenly froze, he just made up his mind temporarily, but he didn't expect Zhong Ziyuan to come up with such a fragrant and glamorous strategy. The strange thing is that instead of annoying him, he actually finds it very useful.
So after hesitating for a moment, he immediately reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and kissed her lightly on the hair. The only thing that spoils the scenery is. There was a sour smell on her head that had been soaked and dried by the rain, and it made him grin.
Then he said casually: "Cousin is too worried." I heard that the third master and the seventh master in your mansion all fought for Boss Shen, but the ancestors ignored it. These trivial things in this world, her old man will not care. You'd better go back and rest early, and this son will go to bed too. โ
Boss Shen is a Hua Dan of a troupe in Chang'an City. Because the woman he played was peerless, charming and enchanting, and even more like a woman than that woman. Therefore, it has attracted many literati and scholars, and has been sought after by dignitaries and nobles. The third and seventh masters in their house are all admirers of Boss Shen, and they once fought for a dinner.
This matter was originally the biggest secret in the house, and the head of the family had already explained it, and if anyone dared to publicize it to the outside world, they would have to wait for a meal. What he didn't expect was that Guo Chengsi actually knew it clearly, and he used this matter to gag his mouth. The little face of the girl in red suddenly turned from blush to pale.
But she stubbornly refused to leave, only staring at the collapse, looking at the person on the couch who fascinated her, but was only willing to hug another man. A small face was blue and white, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
Guo Chengsi didn't pay attention to her anymore, he kissed the top of Zhong Ziyuan's hair again, and actually closed his eyes comfortably. Seeing this, the maid brought by the girl hurriedly stepped forward to bless and said, "Miss, since the prince is going to rest, let's not disturb here." Wait for the next time the prince is free, you will come to talk to him again, okay? โ
"Wow" The girl in red couldn't hold back any longer, she flattened her mouth, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. While crying, she made a threat: "I want to sue the old ancestor to go, I want to sue the Duchess of Zhenguo, they will definitely not agree."
She cried sadly, and she didn't forget to peek at Guo Chengsi's expression from between her fingers. Who knew that Guo Chengsi still ignored it, and he even plucked his ears with his little finger, indicating that it was very noisy.
"Wow" The girl in red was really desperate this time, she broke the bamboo curtain and ran out with her skirt, and the maids she brought were busy saluting, and they also chased out.
Zhong Ziyuan opened his eyes abruptly and jumped up from the couch. Guo Chengsi was still a little dissatisfied and said: "What's the hurry? What if she kills again? โ
Zhong Ziyuan blushed, gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "Don't hurry up, do I still have to wait for the Duchess of Zhenguo, and the old Duchess of Zhenguo to really come to catch the adulterer." โ
Zhong Ziyuan sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the back of the tall black horse outside, who was as tall as a pine, and had mixed feelings in his heart. Cardamom also followed the probe to look outside, and after looking at it for a while, she asked curiously: "Why doesn't the prince allow Li Xiucai to ride in the carriage with us?" โ
Zhong Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and she set her eyes on Li Xiucai's slightly thin and swaying wolf bรจi back sitting on horseback. She smiled bitterly and said, "Because I told him that solving the case is fast, that's why I came to ask for help overnight." So he said that the carriage should be as light as possible, so that it could be faster. So I sent Li Xiucai to ride a horse. Speaking of this, she remembered Li Xiucai's horror when she saw the tall jujube red Western Regions stallion for the first time. and the panic when he was forcibly thrown on the horse by Duan Ling, he felt angry and funny in his heart.
Cardamom looked at Li Xiucai's trembling back with some disgust, and pouted: "But I think it's he who slows down everyone's speed." โ
"Well, whoever rides a horse for the first time is like this. If it were you, maybe you might not be as good as him! Zhong Ziyuan lowered the curtain of the door, blocking the view from the outside. Time has been delayed for too long, there are many things wrong on Lan'er's body that have disappeared, she needs to think about it now, what to do when she arrives in Yizhuang.
Yizhuang is on the outskirts of the city, and all the corpses that have died of murder are placed here, and there are some wreckage that cannot be collected by relatives.
Nominally, it is a righteous village, but in fact it is a grass house that has fallen into disrepair for a long time. There was not even a bolt to the door, and through the dim candlelight, you could clearly see the broken thin-skinned coffins inside, as well as the dirty and dilapidated spiriting flags hanging on the wall.
Zhong Ziyuan looked around a few times and asked strangely, "Didn't you say that there were guards here!" Why are people gone? โ
Guo Chengsi had already changed out of the transparent plain gauze robe that made people think about it, and at this moment he was also wearing a very thin purple brocade robe, with a jade crown tied to his black hair that had not yet dried, and a loose gold paper fan in his hand, which did not look like he had come to explore the corpse, but as if he had come to wander the door.
He also looked around for a while, and then instructed Duan Ling and Rong Xi: "Yu Bo must be hiding somewhere to drink, you two go and find him." โ
"Yes." Duan Ling and Rong Xi immediately split up and began to search the vicinity. Zhong Ziyuan asked curiously, "Do you know the night watchman here?" โ
Guo Chengsi knocked the palm of his hand with a fan bone and said with a smile: "Yes, I have dealt with him a few times in order to investigate the case before. He has no children or daughters, and what he loves most on weekdays is what is in the cup. Because he was often drunk, the haystacks, the hillsides, and the rock slabs became his shelter. โ
"In that case, let's go in first!" Zhong Ziyuan said anxiously.
Guo Chengsi happily agreed, so the two walked in together, and Cardamom followed closely with the medicine box. Who knew that they had just stepped in with their front feet, and Li Xiucai's crying voice came from behind: "Or, or I'd better go with Fu Bo to guard the horse?" (To be continued......)
