Chapter Seventy-Five: Fire

The moon rises in the middle of the sky, and spreads the earth like a silver veil. The breeze swept gently, the lanterns under the corridor flickered slightly, and the candles in the lampshade flickered and dimmed, like ghosts.

Zhong Ziyuan was blindfolded with a black cloth, led by a man in black in a strong suit, and groped his way through the corridor. She couldn't see, and her heart was inevitably uneasy. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the black cloth in front of him to be taken down.

Zhong Ziyuan blinked, and saw a bright wing room appear in front of him, and the tall figure like a door god outside the door was not Duan Ling! She couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity, and only then did she completely put her mind at ease.

Zhong Ziyuan stepped forward quickly, she took a breath, and she didn't have time to speak, "Please come in, Master Guo has been waiting for a long time." Duan Ling was the first to bow his head at her and dodge aside.

Zhong Ziyuan settled down, lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in. When she entered the room, she saw at a glance that Guo Chengsi was standing expressionlessly on the side of the bed, staring at Boss Song with a sallow face and closed eyes on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhong Ziyuan saw that he didn't notice his arrival, so he had to cough lightly. Guo Chengsi quickly raised his eagle-sharp eyes, glanced at her, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're here!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan was surprised to hear that there was tiredness in his tone, and there was a trace of chagrin. She couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with the case?" ”

This time it was Guo Chengsi's turn to be surprised, and he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the person in front of him, who was half a head shorter than himself, but did not forget to straighten his back at any time.

He looked at her amber cat-like eyes. Saw care and worry. And she doesn't need to open her mouth, she can always sense her mind in a moment.

Guo Chengsi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and the corners of his mouth finally curved slightly. A knowing smile was revealed.

He sighed and explained, "Boss Song is an important witness in this case, so he can't die. So I found a doctor in the palace who was good at treating trauma and prescribed medicine for him. Moreover, Duan Ling personally grabbed the medicine and decocted the medicine. Originally, everything was fine, but when the bowl of good medicine for healing injuries was delivered here, it immediately turned into a deadly poison. ”

"What? Could it be that Boss Song was poisoned? Zhong Ziyuan let out an incredible exclamation.

Guo Chengsi smiled bitterly. He took a few steps to the table next to him, pointing to the table that was still there. A bowl of black medicinal juice, which had completely dissipated the heat, said: "Fortunately, the weather is too hot, and after the medicinal juice is boiled, it is placed here to cool." He was not poured immediately. As a result, one of the flies got some of it. Immediately died. ”

Zhong Ziyuan took a closer look at the tabletop, and sure enough, there were a few small corpses of mung bean flies scattered around the medicine bowl. She picked up the bowl of medicinal juice, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed the smell carefully, nodded clearly and said, "It's Heding Red, one drop is enough to kill." ”

She put down the medicine bowl and asked softly in confusion, "Do you doubt it?" she quietly pointed to the tall figure outside. ”

Guo Chengsi shook his head categorically and said, "No, I have never doubted him." After a pause, he continued: "But he and I are laymen after all. can block the assassination on the surface, but it can't stop the poisoning in the secret. In order to save the lives of Boss Song. To prevent them from being poisoned again, I have to ask you, an expert, to help me. ”

When Zhong Ziyuan heard this, he immediately understood his unspoken bitterness. Boss Song was locked up in such a hidden place, and he was almost poisoned, it seems that the water in this case is very deep. Guo Chengsi has grown wise after eating, and now he doesn't believe anyone except his own people, so he will find himself to help.

Zhong Ziyuan saw his sad face, and he couldn't bear it for a while, so he agreed after thinking for a while. Hearing her promise, Guo Chengsi's eyes lit up suddenly, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but feel good when he saw it.

It's just that she hasn't realized at the moment that her love has begun to gradually be influenced by Guo Chenghe, and when she sees him unhappy, she will be depressed with her love. When she sees him in a happy mood, she smiles along

Boss Song's injuries didn't heal in a day or two, Zhong Ziyuan lived in the courtyard next to her, and Guo Chengsi lived next door to her.

After staying here, she learned that the first few bosses who were caught on the flower boat that day were all locked up in this garden. In addition to treating Boss Song's wounds every day, she is also responsible for checking the daily diet of the rest of the people, for fear that someone will secretly poison them and take their lives.

However, it is strange to say that since Boss Song's medicinal juice was found to be poisoned, there has never been a similar poisoning incident. Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help muttering secretly, could it be that those masterminds behind the scenes knew that the means of poisoning would not work, so they gave up? But the calmer it was, the more she felt like the calm before the storm. She didn't dare to take it lightly, so she worked every day with the spirit of twelve points, for fear of making a little mistake.

However, Guo Chengsi has not been idle these days, he interrogates the few people who were not injured every day, trying to pry out the identities of the people behind the scenes from their mouths. It's a pity that he has exhausted all his means, although he asked a few small moths, but the Mu Lao, who is the most hidden, still has no clue.

Soon, five days passed in a flash. At dusk that day, Zhong Ziyuan checked the prisoners' meals again and watched them eat, and only after making sure that they were okay did she return to the courtyard where she and Guo Chengsi lived together.

From afar, you can see him sitting under a large banyan tree with a thick green canopy and playing the piano. He was dressed in a purple robe, his slender fingers plucked quickly on the strings, and an elegant and beautiful music was scattered in the wind. Guo Chengsi closed his starry eyes slightly, as if he was intoxicated by his own piano sound.

A gust of wind blew through his black hair and ripped open his robes. The last golden rays cast by the setting sun seemed to gild him. At this moment, he is handsome and noble, and he is like a fairy, and he is not far behind Zhu Fei

This situation and this scene are so wonderful that Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but be stunned.

It was Guo Chenghei, his tall nose moved slightly. Suddenly stopped stroking the qin, opened his starry eyes, raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Where did the sour and rotten breath come from." ”

Zhong Ziyuan woke up in shock. She was completely immersed in Guo Chengsi's beautiful complexion just now, and she didn't hear what he said at all. She didn't dare to look at him again, so she only half-hung her head and said with a red face: "My lord, Yaxing, I'll go back to my room to rest for a while, and I won't bother here." ”

After speaking, she pulled her legs and wanted to slip away, but Guo Chengsi raised her voice and said, "Please stay." He grabbed the fan in his hand. He stood up and strode towards Zhong Ziyuan.

Zhong Ziyuan didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he had to stand up obediently. After seeing him standing next to Zhong Ziyuan, he frowned slightly and said, "Don't you smell that sour smell?" "Finished. He was by Zhong Ziyuan's side again, twitching his nose again and again and sniffing vigorously. Suddenly, he took two steps back and covered his nose exaggeratedly. Said in surprise: "So this is the smell of Dr. Jia's body?" ”

Only then did Zhong Ziyuan hear what he said. She was stunned for a moment, and her face couldn't help but be embarrassed. She looked at the hateful smile on Guo Chengsi's face, and secretly sharpened her silver teeth with hatred.

Zhong Ziyuan didn't dare to take a bath these days because she was afraid of revealing her daughter's identity, and only wiped her body with water every day. Because there was only one strip of long cloth wrapped around her breasts, she didn't dare to dry it. It can only be washed every day before going to bed, and then hung in the room to dry. Sometimes the next day before it's completely dry, she hurriedly wraps it up again. That's it. It's no wonder she doesn't smell on her.

However, the smell of this idea on her body is compared to those officials and guards with a strong body odor. It wasn't a big deal at all, so she didn't take it too seriously. I didn't expect that Guo Chenghe's guy would be ruthless in front of him today.

Zhong Ziyuan is her daughter's family after all, facing the fluttering clothes and refreshing, like Guo Chenghe, who is like an immortal, she can't help but feel ashamed of herself. If it weren't for the potion on her face, anyone would have noticed that her cheeks were red and about to drip blood.

However, Guo Chengsi didn't seem to notice his embarrassment, he suddenly grinned, leaned close to her ear, and said softly: "No wonder I have lived next to Dr. Jia for so long, but I have never seen you ask for water to bathe." It turns out that in the eyes of Dr. Jia, this official is actually the best womanizer? ”

He looked her up and down a few more times before pursing his lips and said with some disgust: "It's a pity that this official is not interested in green bamboo poles." ”

Zhong Ziyuan's eyes stared at him, he, he, he, this guy found out his worries, so he was laughing at himself for being a mere person? Because she was too surprised, she was stunned for a long time before she blushed and reluctantly said, "My lord said he was laughing." ”

Guo Chengsi "brushed" and opened the folding fan in his hand. While shaking it slowly, he said hatefully: "I'm not joking, if you don't clean yourself up and smoke my nose with this sour smell, I don't mind washing you clean with my own hands." ”

After speaking, he ignored Zhong Ziyuan's round eyes, shook the folding fan in his hand, and left gracefully with long legs.

"What! It's really bullying, and you have to care if you don't even bathe or not! When Guo Chengsi walked away, Zhong Ziyuan muttered dissatisfiedly. However, she also subconsciously raised her sleeve and sniffed it, and sure enough, a sour smell rushed straight to her brain. She was embarrassed, thinking about it, as if it was a little smoky.

Zhong Ziyuan weakly pushed open the door, and saw at a glance that there was a huge wooden barrel in the center of the room, which contained more than half a bucket of hot water, and there were actually some red rose petals floating on the water.

Her eyes couldn't help but light up, could it be that Guo Chenghe's subordinates ordered his subordinates to prepare for herself?

Seeing this bath bucket, Zhong Ziyuan felt itchy all over his body. She couldn't resist the temptation, and after carefully checking all the doors and windows to make sure they were all closed. Finally took off the clothes on his body, took off the strip of white cloth that wrapped his chest, and happily soaked himself in the water.

After pouring a few handfuls of water on herself, she found that there was not only a loofah pulp on one side of the bathtub, but also a pancreas. She nodded with satisfaction and said to herself, "I don't know which cook prepared it, but she was really careful." It's just that she scooped up the bright rose petals on the water, played with them in her hand, and said to herself with some puzzlement: "I'm a big man taking a bath, what are I doing with so many petals?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan had just happily cleaned herself, and suddenly saw a red glow outside the window covered with Korean paper, and someone outside was shouting: "Go water, go water"

Zhong Ziyuan was shocked, she stood up from the basin suddenly, and she didn't care about the water droplets rolling happily on her body, she only put on a robe indiscriminately, and ran to the window with her bare snow-white feet. She slammed open the window, and a scorching wave of air immediately hit her face, instantly giving her a feeling of imminent suffocation.

At a glance, she saw Guo Chengsi's face blue and was about to rush to the scene of the fire, she hurriedly opened her mouth and called, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Guo Chengsi subconsciously glanced back at her, first stunned, then reluctantly showed a smile, and comforted: "It's okay, you stay in the room and don't come out, just protect yourself." Don't worry about the rest. With that, he strode away without looking back. The back is tall and unyielding, like a general who is about to go to war.

Zhong Ziyuan grabbed her neckline and nodded involuntarily. From a distance, the enchanting orange flames seemed to light up half of the sky, and she could faintly see many people methodically fetching water to fight the fire. However, the fire was too big to control it for a while

A rush of footsteps came from the darkness, led by a man in his early thirties with a long beard on his chin. He was wearing an ice-blue cardigan with royal blue silk threads embroidered with Tengyun auspicious patterns on the placket and cuffs, a hollow carved white jade belt tied around his waist, and his black hair was only tied with a hairband, looking like he was not angry and arrogant.

In addition to the young men dressed as a small servant, he was accompanied by four or five big men in black clothes with torches in their hands. Several people came to the gate together, and the little guy immediately stepped forward and slapped the brass ring on the gate, and he shouted in a voice much sharper than ordinary people: "Open the door, open the door"

The door creaked open, and a big man in civilian clothes with a scar on his face poked his head out, he glanced at the few people in front of him, and asked with a vigilant face: "Who is coming?" ”

The little guy took out a piece of the waist card from his waist and shook it in front of the man. When the big man saw it clearly, he was startled, and just wanted to kneel, but the man in charge immediately said coldly: "That's it, don't make a noise." After dropping these words, he raised his leg and brushed the big man's shoulder, and walked straight inside. (To be continued......)
