Mu Yang was obviously stunned for a moment. "That's what Mrs. Xuan meant, right?"

"Of course, but what he thinks, I don't believe it."

"You still haven't believed him for so long."

"It's not that I don't want to believe it, it's just that my past experience tells me that I can't trust anyone anymore, even if it's Xuan Lone, even if it's you."

Mu Yang smiled lightly: "Don't I believe it either?" ”

I looked at him and just smiled and didn't speak.

Muyang is so smart, he must know what I mean, it's not that I don't believe everything in others, it's just that as long as it involves my own interests, I won't believe it.

"Mrs. Xuan is seriously ill and forced Xuan to get married, and it still comes to Lin Lan's head, anyway, Lin Lan is also suitable to be a wife, why not. As for the son's own thoughts, it is none of Mrs. Xuan's business, as long as she is alive and seriously ill, then there is a reason to persecute her. I said.

"Filial piety comes first, but if filial piety violates one's own happiness, then there is no need. There are thousands of ways to be filial, and if Xuan Lin chooses to use this method of torturing himself to fulfill his filial piety......"

"But in the eyes of Mrs. Xuan, Xuan Lonely is the only way to call filial piety."

Mu Yang sighed and said, "You're right, maybe in their eyes, Lin Lan is the most suitable candidate." ”

When Muyang finished eating, my wine was also drunk, and Muyang said, "I've never seen you drink so fast." ”

"Hurry up and get drunk."

"That's how you want to get drunk?"

"I'm just annoyed."

"Because of the silence?"

"And because of myself."

"What's so bothering about you? Now is the time for you to go straight to the top, don't worry about the past. ”

Muyang knows what I'm worried about, and of course, people who know me know that I just can't refuse to go over.

"I know you're still mindful of your past, but that doesn't mean you have to leave it behind completely. It is precisely because of the past that you have the present, and although Qinglian will make you lose a lot of things, it will also make you gain a lot. ”

I'll admit that the Qinglian Society did give me a lot, but it didn't make me feel better.

"Don't you have a place to live?" Muyang asked.

"Yes. I have been recuperating in Yamen for so many days, and I don't know where I am going. ”

"Then come with me, I always mention you to my mother, but she hasn't seen you yet."

"You're going to take me to see your mother?"

"Do you mind?"

"It's not...... Your mother is seriously ill, and I'm afraid that some patients don't like to see people. ”

"Not really, my mother said she wanted to see what kind of person I was talking about."

I took a few clothes with me, and just like that, I got on Muyang's "thief ship".

Muyang's mother is a very kind woman, although she is seriously ill and bedridden, she still seems to be in good spirits, she said a few polite words to me, and talked to me about the killer. I think Mu Yang's ability to speak was learned from her, although she didn't say a few words, but this woman has always given me a feeling like a spring breeze, and it is very comfortable to talk to her, as if I can completely ignore what happened before, and I have never felt that being a killer is very unsightly.

When I was leaving, I looked at Muyang and his mother's reluctant appearance, and discussed with Muyang: "Why don't I live here and take care of your mother first?" ”

Mu Yang raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll just wait for your words." ”

Time flies quickly, Muyang is very busy every day, but he didn't tell me my task, so I had to wait patiently, while chatting with his mother every day, and making his mother feel better.

With the woman's mood, my mood also became good, which did a lot of good for my injury, and soon I felt full of strength and was able to complete the task perfectly again.

But before I could reach the task, the woman gave up.

I buried the woman with Muyang, and I didn't feel anything in my heart, just lamenting the fragility of people. Muyang didn't seem to be too sad, he said that his mother just went to a place without pain, and I made his mother happy in his mother's last moments, which was the best result for him and his mother.

I ate and drank Muyang for a while, and one day I was practicing knives in the open space outside the house, and a carriage stopped in front of me, and a woman with a curling grace came down from the car, Lin Lan.

"Miss Lin, long time no see." I arched my hand. We haven't seen each other for a long time, but we haven't seen each other a few times.

"Yu girl, I'm here to send you a wedding card." She handed over a book-sized piece of wood, and I took it with a strong sense of composure, looking at the gilded word "Xi" on it, and almost didn't throw it on the ground. Looking at Lin Lan's excited face, I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled: "Congratulations." ”

"I know that you and Xuan Lin are friends, and when I heard that you live here, I personally sent a wedding card over, and I hope you can go to our engagement banquet."

"Okay, I'll go."

Lin Lan glanced at the wooden house behind me and asked, "Are you all living here alone now?" ”

“…… No, there is still Muyang, I still have to take over the task from him. ”

Lin Lan smiled knowingly and said, "Maybe this task will be completed by you next?" ”

"Miss Lin, don't make fun of me." I waved my hand.

Fortunately, she didn't see my sadness and said, "Then I'll go first, remember to come!" ”

"Okay."

It was noon, and the sun shone on me, and I didn't feel it at all, but I felt it as if I had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

I went back to the house, put the wedding card aside, and delved into the portraits and names of the various officials that Muyang had left me. I looked at it over and over again, but the golden words of the wedding card on the side kept shining on my eyes, I had no anger in my heart, only helplessness, as long as the wedding card was here, I would never calm down.

I sat there for an unknown amount of time, and when I heard heavy footsteps and angry scolding outside, I quickly got up and prepared to open the door to see what was going on. But as soon as I opened the door, I saw Muyang who was about to push the door in, and behind him was Xuan Lonely.

Xuan Xiao was talking about something, and when he saw me, he suddenly shut up. I smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Master Xuan." ”

Mu Yang hesitated for a moment and explained, "I asked him to come and talk to me about something." ”

"I understand, am I going to go out then?"

"No, you're just listening, and it's good for you."

Since it was a matter of the ministry, then I had no reason to leave, but the wedding card on the table was seen by Xuan Lone, he took a big step, picked up the wedding card, looked like he wanted to get angry but restrained himself, and asked, "Who sent this?" ”

"Miss Lin." I said.

Xuan Xiao seemed to be very desperate, and said: "I told her not to be public, but I didn't expect her to come out and post a wedding post by herself!" ”

"It's a happy event, why can't more people know about it?" I said deliberately. Xuan Xiao stared at me, and Mu Yang hurriedly said: "Since it has been sent out, there is no possibility of saving, it is better to let everyone know, it is not good for you to hide it." ”

Xuan Lonely's eyes seemed to tear the wedding card to shreds, looked at me, and said to Muyang: "Talk about business." ”

Mu Yang compared the chair and motioned for Xuan Lin to sit down, and I also sat aside and listened.

"Yuxing, there is a killer organization that has infiltrated the imperial court and wants to assassinate the emperor, and someone has been caught and interrogated by the emperor, and is about to be executed at the entrance of the vegetable market." Muyang said.

"Isn't it the Qinglian Society?"

"No, but the killer wouldn't even say the name of the organization, preferring to kill himself. We struggled to find another killer, but we didn't catch him, and later only found his body. ”

"What is the emperor's plan?"

"The emperor wants to clean up all the killer organizations, this time this organization is the first bird, other killer organizations may be able to kill later, but this organization can't be cleaned up."

"What do you want me to do?"

Xuan Lin cleared his throat and said, "Our Jinyi guard has arrested a lot of prisoners, and in order to prevent them from biting their tongues and hitting the wall, everyone is tied up separately, and they are interrogated one by one to make them hand over the organization. But none of the killers have revealed the news, that is, our clues have been broken, and it is only possible to get them to hand over the organization if they keep asking them. ”

"The emperor attaches great importance to this, after all, these killers want to kill the emperor, not a casual person. All you have to do is to find the remaining killers with Xuan Lone, and I will sort out everyone's clues. ”

"How do you find this?"

"That's why I called you, although you are now a six-rank official, but only a few people know, and those who know will not say it, after all, you are doing things for the emperor, and the more powerful people are, the more they know to keep their mouths shut." Muyang said, "All you have to do is to be a killer and look for a killer. ”

Seeing that I was still a little confused, Xuan Xiao said: "As a killer, you must know the characteristics of the killer, Jinyiwei has special clues to provide you, you just need to go to the place we told you." ”

"Understood."

"Xuan Lin will tell you where the killer may appear, and then bring people to lurk around, you just need to do your role as the killer."

I didn't look at Xuan Lone, and then Xuan Lone and Mu Yang talked about the officials, I probably listened, and it seemed that there was no matter for me, so I continued to look at the portrait.

After a while, Xuan Lin was leaving, and Muyang said that he was going to relieve him, and I knew that he wanted to leave us alone time.

I pretended to be calm and looked at the portrait, Xuan Xiao picked up the wedding card on the table, and said, "Do you still want to keep this?" ”

"This was sent by Miss Lin herself, why don't you keep it?"

Xuan Lin clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better not regret it." ”

"What do you regret, if the engagement banquet doesn't have this wedding card, I won't be able to enter. You can't make Miss Lin uncomfortable, right? ”

"You ......"

Xuan Xiao pondered for a long time, and said angrily: "You don't have to take into account her feelings at all, she doesn't like me at all!" All she wants is power, money, and interests! ”

"Yes and how, no? Anyway, you've already decided, and you can't escape no matter what. ”

"Don't come to the engagement banquet."

"It's easier to be misunderstood if you don't go, so it's better to be generous-"

Xuan Lin pinched my chin and said word by word: "I don't want to see you at the engagement banquet, let alone see myself out of control." ”

I looked at him fearlessly and said, "Sounds interesting, why don't I go and see what the usually calm and serious Xuan Gongzi looks like when he loses control?" ”

"Do you want me to make a fool of myself in front of everyone?"

"If there is a drama to watch, it will have no impact on me."

Mu Yang looked at my lips and seemed to want to kiss me again, I knocked his hand off and said, "Master Xuan is now a person with a fiancée, so keep a little distance from other women." ”

Xuan Xiao looked at me, couldn't speak for a long time, and yelled: "Muyang! "Walk outside.

Muyang came in and looked at me and said, "Let's go, we'll start looking for someone tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

I looked at the back of Xuan Lin leaving, and gently closed the door.

On the second day, I started to work on the task in earnest. I followed Xuan Lone's clues to a suburban inn and waited for the target to appear.
