63, begonia hairpin

When the winter moon was approaching, the sky in Beijing changed, and the cold wind in the morning blew on the face like a knife. Zhan Lian came out of the stage, and before he had time to change his clothes, he only wore a blue satin cloak on the outside, which made his jade face more and more beautiful.

He went to prison.

The prison director's surname was Peng, and when he saw him, he was very attentive and hurriedly welcomed him into the inner hall to watch tea.

Zhan Liantai untied his cloak and put it on the back of the chair at will, sat straight, and looked at Director Peng's eyes without a hint of a smile: "This official has something to ask for." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Chief Peng was frightened, and thought hard about whether he had offended this jade-faced evil star recently, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think about it, so he had to put his head on his head and say, "Please Lord Zhan just give orders." ”

The officials of the prison came to serve tea, and Ruan Qi took the tea and "invited" everyone out, and then closed the door himself, blocking the door like a mountain.

Only then did Zhan Liantai speak: "I heard that Lord Peng received a secret letter a few days ago? ”

"Well...... this," Director Peng said ambiguously, "There are a lot of official documents exchanged between the yamen, I don't know which one Lord Zhan refers to?" ”

Zhan Liantai picked up the teacup, and his eyelids didn't look: "The letter that says Shen Huaiyi." ”

Director Peng pretended to be confused: "Who is Shen Huaiyi?" ”

Uncovering the lid of the bowl, Zhan Liantai skimmed the foam: "I committed the scene of the wounding case, and I died violently in prison a few days ago, Master Peng doesn't remember?" ”

"Oh, oh, Xia Guan remembered, there is such a person." Director Peng had a look of sudden realization, "The autopsy said that he died of an epidemic, so he sprinkled lime on the corpse and pulled it to a mass grave for burial." ”

Zhan Liantai sneered: "Why did a good person get the epidemic?" ”

What Director Peng said is reasonable: "There is no light in the prison, the prisoners are all locked underground, there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it is not uncommon for a few to get sick occasionally. ”

"Oh." Zhan Liantai reacted perfunctorily, his eyes sharpened sharply, "This official wants to see the autopsy." ”

Director Peng's expression was stunned, and he said, "That guy is ...... I've already returned home. ”

"Where does he live?"

"I can't remember clearly, it seems to be from Xuzhou or Jiangzhou......"

"There is a file registered in the yamen, Ruan Qi, you go with Master Peng."

Zhan Liantai was aggressive one after another, and Director Peng was powerless to parry, gritting his teeth and squeezing out a reluctant smile: "What is the purpose of the adult?" ”

"The official said that he had something to ask for, and I hope that Lord Peng will give him some advice. Don't hide it, this is also what Xiangye meant. In an instant, the sharpness on Zhan Liantai's body disappeared, and he became elegant and friendly again.

Thinking of the relationship between Zhan Liantai and the prime minister, Director Peng wiped his sweat from his sleeves and nodded reluctantly.

Zhan Liantai asked, "Who sent the letter?" ”

"The messengers who called Qian Dong and Wu Yong are usually the documents they send back and forth, so they should be trustworthy."

"What did they say when they gave you the letter?"

"I didn't say much...... "Director Peng recalled, "Qian Dong said that it was sent by the Prime Minister, and told me not to make a noise, just read the letter." ”

Zhan Liantai's eyebrows raised slightly: "How are you sure it's a letter from the Prime Minister?" ”

Director Peng was puzzled: "That's what Qian Dong said, could it be that Lord Zhan suspects him of lying to me?" It couldn't be, why did he do it? There's no reason for that! ”

Zhan Liantai didn't ask more questions about this matter, nor did he explain, but said, "What did the letter say? ”

Director Peng's face hesitated, and he hesitated: "...... Humble duties cannot be revealed. ”

"Let me guess." Zhan Liantai smiled slightly, "The Prime Minister wants you to dispose of Shen Huaiyi as soon as possible, right?" ”

Master Peng was surprised when he heard this, his mouth grew big, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he said in a weak heart: "This is just your speculation, there is no real evidence." ”

"Of course I don't have proof, but you do." Zhan Liantai knew from his expression that he had guessed correctly, and leaned back in his chair, showing a little laziness, "That letter can testify." ”

Who knew that Director Peng shook his head: "There is really no faith." Just as Zhan Liantai was a little puzzled, he listened to him again, "The letter has been burned." ”

Zhan Liantai was a little surprised, but quickly realized: the letter is the biggest flaw, of course, it must be destroyed.

So he asked, "Is this what the Prime Minister asked you to do in his letter?" After reading it, it will be burned? ”

Director Peng nodded: "You can't do things in a down-to-earth manner, and you understand your humble duties." ”

Zhan Liantai smiled, as if helpless, and sighed: "I guess, the guy who carried the autopsy is also a henchman sent by the prime minister, right?" ”

"Indeed." Director Peng now thinks that Zhan Liantai is on the order of the prime minister to "inspect" the results, so he simply doesn't hide it from him, and comes to 1510, "The pill was stuffed into Shen Huaiyi's mouth by my own hands, and no one else knows, and when the medicine is onset and he bleeds, I will call in the waiting person as promised, and the post-mortem assertion that he was infected with the epidemic and died violently, for fear of the epidemic infection, so he was pulled to the mass grave overnight to deal with it." Master Zhan rest assured, everything is done by me and is foolproof. ”

Zhan Liantai sighed: "This game is really exquisite, interlocking and dead without proof. ”

Director Peng echoed again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!" The Prime Minister is really tall! ”

"High?" Zhan Liantai smiled sarcastically, "Master Peng, Shen Huaiyi was personally dragged to the mass grave by you to be buried?" ”

Director Peng said: "No, it's for them to deal with, the place of the mass grave is not clean, and the lower officials think it's better to go less." ”

"The official reminded Master Peng that if you have time, you should go to the mass grave and take a look."

Saying that, Zhan Liantai got up, Ruan Qi put on a cloak for him, his slender fingers were knotted at the neckline, and the crow blue lining made him extremely noble.

Seeing that he was leaving, Director Peng hurriedly sent him off, and did not forget to take credit around the bush: "In front of Xiangye, I hope that Lord Zhan will say a few kind words!" ”

Zhan Liantai let out an inaudible snort in his nose, but there was a bewildering smile on his face, and he said slowly: "This official must have many, many, beautiful, and words." ”

Out of the prison, snowflakes floated in the air, thin patches, and the sideburns that had just flown to Zhan Liantai melted.

He didn't get into the official sedan chair, but walked forward confidently, and Ruan Qi, who didn't say a word, followed him step by step.

Before I knew it, I was at the Mandarin Duck Bridge again.

There were only bare branches left on the green willows next to the bridge, and there were few pedestrians on the road, but Zhan Liantai stopped here, but stood under the bridge and looked at the empty bridge.

A place to come once a month. Ruan Qi pinched his fingers and found that Zhan Liantai had not been here for several months, and he had never asked people to find a woman with a similar appearance to "cross the bridge".

"My lord, I'm going to find ......" Before Ruan Qi could finish speaking, Zhan Liantai had already shook his head.

He walked over, stood where he had stood back then, stared at the gorgeous shoes under his feet, and said lightly: "I always thought I could deceive myself, but I found that I actually knew very well in my heart that no matter how similar those women looked, they were not her." ”

"She's dead, dead in my arms, heh......" Such a sad past, but he said it with a smile, and even laughed so much that he almost burst into tears, "I hugged her, her body became cold a little bit, and the more I hugged her, the tighter I became, and I couldn't hold the passing body temperature...... She's getting so cold. ”

Zhan Liantai suddenly stepped up a stone staircase, then squatted down, and used his hands to pick out the stone slab on the steps.

"Your Excellency!"

Ruan Qi wanted to stop him, but he listened to his instructions: "Ruan Qi, give me the dagger." ”

Zhan Liantai got the dagger, scraped the dirt between the stone slabs little by little with the sharp tip of the knife, and then inserted the blade into the gap, and finally pried up the stone slabs.

Ruan Qi helped him move the slate away, only to see a palm-sized gap below, where an object was placed, wrapped in oiled paper.

Zhan Liantai carefully took out the things, dismantled the oil paper to reveal the blue cloth inside, and then uncovered the blue cloth, which revealed the true face of the object.

A white jade phoenix bird begonia hairpin.

It's just that this hairpin is not flawless white jade, but dyed a faint red.

Zhan Liantai gently lifted the hairpin, as if caring for a rare treasure, his fingertips swept across the hairpin, like a caress between lovers, feeling each other's temperature.

Ruan Qizheng wondered if he was acting strangely today, and suddenly heard him say, "Find a brocade box." ”

Ruan Qi was even more puzzled: "Brocade box? ”

Zhan Liantai smiled slightly: "I want to give her a gift." ”

***

"It's cold, it's cold!"

When the first snow came, Xiaohe came back from grocery shopping, rubbed his ears and jumped with his hands, and then ran to shout Qianqian: "Girl, you haven't gotten up yet?" ”

There was a snort in the room.

So Xiaohe pushed the door in, and saw several beds of bedding piled up on the bed, and Qianqian wrapped herself tightly in the middle, shrinking her neck and refusing to come out.

"Girl, why can't you afford it?" Xiaohe reached out to pull her, "The snow is so thick outside, let's go build a snowman!" ”

"Don't go-" Qianqian desperately hid under the covers, only revealing her two eyes, "I'm cold...... I don't get out of bed......"

"Come out! It's fun! ”

Xiaohe dragged Qianqian hard, Qianqian refused to go out again, and when the two pulled and pulled, Miao Fan came back from Nanshan, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on his shoulders.

He patted off the snow at the door, and vaguely saw the two of them pulling through the screen, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Tan Gongzi, come quickly!" Xiaohe seized the opportunity to complain, "You went to Nanshan for three days, and she hid in the bed for three days, and she couldn't persuade her, thinking that she was an old hen hatching eggs!" ”

"You little chick, believe it or not, I'm going to peck you to death!" Qianqian opened her mouth to bite Xiaohe, and after she let go of her hand, she quickly wrapped the futon tightly and shrunk up, "It's cold outside, I won't go out." ”

Xiaohe hated and stomped his feet: "Bear blind cat winter!" Ignore you! After speaking, he ran out of the city in a huff and threw the mess to Miao Fan to clean up.

Miao Fan held the snow handle and rubbed it warm, took off the clothes that were soaked in snow outside, and then walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, and put his hand into the quilt.

Qianqian was vigilant: "Your hands are cold!" Don't touch me! ”

As soon as the words fell, the palms of my feet were hot.

"Huh?" Qianqian was surprised, "Why are your hands hot?" I just saw you hold the snow. ”

Miao Fan covered her feet and explained: "When you come back from outside on a snowy day, you can't immediately take hot water to warm your hands, and you will get frostbite, so rubbing your hands with snow will warm you." ”

"Really!" Qianqian was surprised, and kicked her foot into his arms, "Your body is so hot and comfortable, hehe." ”

Miao Fan took her feet into his arms and said with a smile: "You are afraid of the cold because you don't like to move around, and it is warmer to go for a walk in this weather than in the house." ”

Qianqiannuzui: "But I'm just afraid of the cold, I hate snow, I don't want to go out." ”

"Just wear thicker, the red plum blossoms in Meizhuang are blooming, I heard that they are very beautiful, do you want to go with us to see them?"

"You guys? Who else? Qianqian keenly noticed the clue and asked, "Has anyone asked you to enjoy the plum?" ”

"Hmm." Miao Fan took out an invitation, "The post is not signed, but I guess it's probably Jun Gongzi and Jun Girl, and I can't think of anyone else." ”

Is it really Xiao Qi?

Qianqian was skeptical, but she felt that it was not a bad thing to go out with Miao Fan, so she gritted her teeth and got out of the bed and quickly threw herself into his arms.

"Xianggong, hurry up and dress me!"

When Qianqian wrapped herself tightly from head to toe, the two of them went out of the door, and the snow that had just been swept away at the gate was piled up again, and the shape of a square box was faintly revealed under the not thick snow.

Miao Fan picked it up and saw that it was a brocade box. Qianqian leaned in curiously: "What? ”

He opened the box and saw a white jade hairpin lying inside, slightly crimson.

Qianqian subconsciously touched her head and found that the hairpin was still there. She plucked her hairpin, and compared it with the one in the brocade box, she was shocked to find that it was exactly the same.

Miao Fan was also puzzled: "Why is there a similar one?" Who put it here? ”

Qianqian didn't panic for any reason, and she jumped out of her throat and eyes.

She had an old one that was broken, and Master Lu made her a new one, and now another hairpin appeared, exactly the same as her old hairpin.

The white jade phoenix bird and begonia hairpin were originally a pair.

This was originally her eldest sister's congratulatory gift.
