Chapter 38: Tears

The window lattice of the study hangs down the curtain of green bamboo and bamboo curtains, and the white light and snow have to jump out of the gap in the green bamboo, and the whole study is extremely dark, and a few rays of light are reflected on the brown velvet felt carpet, except for this, there is no bright light. Under the window lattice, a three-foot-long, one-foot-wide sunken wood desk is placed, the desk is placed a few high, a few are placed on the wide pastel painted hibiscus white porcelain, and a few green calyxes are scattered among them.

In addition to elegance, in the eyes of pedestrians, this room has more than a thousand gold.

The half-old sunken wood desk is a gloomy wood carving, the bamboo flower pattern carved on the table buckle lock is the proud work of the previous dynasty everyone Gu Kaiji, the inkstone placed messily on the bookcase is Song Yan, the brush is a purple wolf, the pen wash is the old thing of the previous dynasty, the paperweight is carved Sanyang Kaitai and Tian jade, and the bamboo slips spread out at will are ancient books of the late Han Dynasty

Elegant family?

Hey, that's all made of riches.

The person who spoke had his back to the main hall, his hands folded on his knees, his shoulders wide and his waist narrow, and his whole face was hidden in the darkness.

Someone in the hall was kneeling on the futon - his legs and feet were numb after kneeling for a long time, but he did not dare to move, because the master above did not speak. The kneeling person is no longer confused, his face is wide and his face is short, his mustache is left on his mouth, his cheeks and chin have a beard like green stubble, he wears a long lilac-colored lake silk placket, and wears a green gauze and high drapery, looking like a dusty servant. He calmed down, carefully distinguished the meaning of the previous word, thought about it, buried his head in an orderly manner, and replied.

"Fu Gang was martyred, the entrance of the cave was blocked by fire for nearly half an hour, and there was no water river in the forest and no fire extinguishing equipment. As soon as the fire was extinguished, I went in to see, Fu Shi was burned all over, and I couldn't see the human form clearly, but the two girls were not around, and they went inside, who knew that there was a hole in the deep valley, and there were nine twists and turns, and I couldn't figure out where it was, so it was easy to find three dark rivers one by one, but they were all frozen again, and the ice was not deep, and people couldn't walk on it, so they had to divide the troops into three ways, first de-ice and then swim out"

"And so far, I haven't seen the shadow of the two little girls!"

The man who sat down chuckled, "I originally thought that Zhou Tingshi was very capable, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that-I knew that Zhou Tongling was empty, I might as well buy the horse gang that fell into the grass on Jue Mountain, at least they only want silver, unlike you, and they are still vain in their desire for fame and fortune." ”

The voice is gentle, and the air is like dust falling to the ground, which is extremely stretched.

The kneeling man fidgeted, leaned forward, and subconsciously opened his mouth to argue, "Lord Assassin personally led his troops out of the city to encircle and suppress, and it is already ten percent sincere!" ”

"Useless is useless, you can't ignore his stupidity because he is serious, this account is not calculated like this." The person above cut off the words mercilessly, changed the posture of his hand, and the agate-inlaid tortoiseshell wrench on his thumb was buckled on the back of the chair, and then said lightly, "My Dai Zongbing, sincerity can't be used as food, you go back and let Zhou Tongling continue to look for it-how big can Youzhou be?" How far can two pampered little girls run? Post stations, inns, pawn shops, and places for renting ox carts are all staffed. Two handsome little ladies are not enough to eye-catching? ”

Some people speak lightly, but in the ears of others, they are yin and yang.

The Lu family's house has been wiped out, and there are three things that are not touched by the reckless rivers and lakes, not touching outsiders, not touching women, and not touching children. What if the only two girls in the Lu family are released? Not to mention the cold and snowy escape from the famine, two delicate and expensive women who are raised in the boudoir and do not know the hardship, can survive alone outside?

Even if God has mercy, they can find food and clothes to eat, what can they threaten him?

Thinking like this, the middle-aged man at the bottom still bowed down and responded, "Lord Assassin Shi has set up soldiers at the gate of the city and at all the checkpoints that can enter Youzhou City, and it is better to catch the two little girls by mistake than miss the two little girls who don't have the courage to go outside the city - the chaos is everywhere, and it is a famine year, and the homeless people can swallow them." Don't worry, you'll be caught. Just after you caught it, you mean"

"Kill on the spot."

The man who disappeared in the darkness, his eyes turned downward, his eyes dimmed, and he suddenly raised his tone, "If I know that your soldiers in Youzhou are not clean and insult the name of the little girl, I will definitely ask you to be buried with people from a city." ”

He believes that this man has this strength.

ordered to be killed, but the two little girls were not allowed to live

The chief soldier surnamed Dai didn't think it through, but hurriedly answered again, when he talked to that person for only half a pillar of incense, his hands and feet were cold and sweaty, he raised his head lightly, opened his mouth and wanted to retreat, but after thinking about it, the master above didn't open his mouth, and he didn't have the courage to speak first.

The atmosphere sank strangely, but the silence for no reason made people scratch their hearts and panic.

Dai Zongbing's eyes swept to the light that suddenly slipped into the inner hall from the cracks, and then looked at the man's white jaw and high nose bridge like mutton fat and white jade, and his heart was shocked, knowing that the man couldn't see him, but he hurriedly buried his head and didn't dare to look again.

"You said you found Lu Sui's eldest son in the carriage?"

"Back to my lord, that's right. After finding it, Lord Thorn Shi was killed in the car on the spot. ”

"Tell me about his description." The man above asked in a deep voice.

Dai Zongbing was caught off guard, and hurriedly turned his head to frown and think about it, when the twilight had faded, the night was dark, even if there were pine oil torches illuminating, and the knife was falling when the life and death were fighting, who would seriously remember the appearance of the poor man who was destined to die, Dai Zongbing seriously recalled, and said intermittently, "The figure is long, wearing a green shirt and long clothes, his appearance is white, and his style is elegant, when we pick up the curtain of the car window, he is making tea and warm water in a hurry" again, accentuated the tone, and added a sentence of evidence very attentively," When we visited the Duke of Qi in the morning, we happened to meet Lu Dalangjun - Lu Yu should be accompanied by Lu Dalangjun, there is nothing wrong, right? ”

The man above did not answer immediately, and the inner room fell into an unbearable silence, and it took about half an hour before Dai Zongbing heard the man's elegant voice answer.

"That's right, the description is right, it's not wrong that Lu Sui likes to take Changying with him."

"That's it! The killing of Qi Guogong and Lu Dalangjun was all done by our Assassin Shi himself, and it can't be kept wrong! Dai was relieved.

The man stood up suddenly, and his voice was deliberately low, as if a dark fire was burning in his chest and throat.

"Don't call him Qi Guogong anymore!" The man pressed his hand on the back of the chair, his voice became deeper and lower, and the fire rushed to his head, but his tone was like a big python hissing in the cold, "He's dead, he's dead!" Don't call him the Duke of Qi anymore! ”

Mr. Dai was immediately so frightened that he leaned back and nodded his head again and again.

After the favor of the person above, he fell silent suddenly, and after a moment he turned slowly, and the man's face finally appeared in the bright light-Yin Tang was full, his skin was fair, the corners of his eyes were gently raised, his thin lips were pursed, and the green silk was tied up high, and he was an extremely handsome man. He propped himself on the wooden case, his head was pressed against the placket of his chin by the jaw, and after a while, the man found a brown paper letter with fire paint from the ancient book, and the letter was neatly cut open by a knife, and he turned over and shook the envelope downward, and the well-folded letterhead slowly fell to the wooden case like a butterfly with broken wings.

The man waved his hand impatiently.

Dai Zongbing hurriedly got up and stepped back, and then covered the door, and after the inner room was bright in an instant, it was dark again.

"White Joy." The man whispered.

Outside the window lattice, someone bowed down.

"Send someone to check whether Lu Changmao followed Lu Sui to move north, Lu Sui did not mention Lu Changmao in the family letter, but I always feel that something is wrong."

The man said on one wall, and sat down slowly.

The people outside the window shouted in response to the retreat.

There was no sound inside and outside the hall, the man leaned back on the Taishi chair, clutched the cowhide envelope tightly in his hand, tilted his head up, parallel to the ceiling, and smiled very slowly, while gently closing his eyes, there was no one in the inner room, the man's voice was very low, but extremely moving.

"Brother, how are you doing?"

He didn't know who to listen to, but the more he talked, the more he laughed, from pursing his lips and smiling, to smiling, and finally laughing out loud.

Laughing and laughing, his eyes suddenly opened, and his face was full of tears.

[Ah Yuan won't spoil this time, in fact, classmates who read the article carefully can find clues, whether my brother is dead or not, and how things developed]
