CHAPTER XXIX
When Muyang came to the house, I was still a little surprised. However, Xuan Lin said that something happened in the house, and he had to go to the yamen to be busy, so he didn't come to me that day. Master Chang happened to be in the house, and he seemed to appreciate Muyang very much, and pulled Muyang to chat, too, who wouldn't appreciate such a talent?
Muyang was taken to my house by Ah Yan, I just boiled the medicine to send it to my wife, seeing him coming, I handed the medicine bowl to Ah Yan, and after watching Ah Yan leave, Mu Yang smiled and said: "Xuan Lin has something to do, let me take you to the yamen." ”
I leaned against the door frame and said with a ruffian, "Yamen? You're not going to arrest me, are you? ”
"If I arrest you, I don't need to arrest you, Xuan Lin will definitely arrest you personally."
"Also, you are an official of the third grade, and the head catcher can only be regarded as an official, not an official."
Mu Yang bent his eyes and said with a smile: "Since I didn't arrest you, then follow me?" ”
Although Muyang asked the emperor not to say his idea, this kind of thing would still go away. No, when I walked on the street, there were often people saluting Muyang, and I looked strange and redundant on the side, but fortunately I walked fast and entered the yamen, and I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Who are you taking me to?" I asked.
"You'll know when you go."
Muyang didn't say anything more, the quiet atmosphere of the yamen made me feel depressed, and I remembered that I was originally a fugitive, which made it even more depressing.
"Thank you, Muyang."
Xuan Lin walked in front of us out of nowhere, and arched his hand to Muyang, as if the two of them were brothers, but they could still see strangeness in their eyes.
"You should remember Shen Kan, right?" Xuan asked me.
"Remember, except for that Enron, I remember the rest."
"I'll bring you to him today."
I thought to myself that Shen Kan must have asked Xuan Lin to take me to see him, and I wanted to blame Xuan Shan, but if Xuan Lin hadn't brought me here, I guess I would have asked Xuan Lin to bring me to Shen Kan.
Shen Kan has been tortured to extract a confession, and there are all kinds of wounds and scars on his body, I can't help but tremble a little when I see it, if it wasn't for the old man who saved me, I might have become a corpse by now......
I motioned for Xuan Lin to open the small door, and I walked in, and Shen Kan was sitting by the wall, his arms and legs were folded, his head was buried, and he looked half-dead.
Xuan Lin stood next to me, afraid that Shen Kan would be violent. I sat down on the ground very close to Shen Kan and said, "You want to see me, what do you have to say?" ”
Shen Kan raised his head slowly, his eyes full of despair after numbness.
"Why are you able to get out of the way?"
I looked at him and said, "I just met a nobleman." ”
Shen Kan leaned against the wall hopelessly, looked at the top of his low head, and said, "Yes, I don't have a good life like you, and I can't meet a nobleman, so I can only take risks." You can be a maid, and you are a maid in Changfu, I can only sit in prison and live like a year. ”
I can't let him confess more news about the killer to comfort him and reduce his punishment, doing so will only increase his guilt and increase the number of people who hate me, not to mention that Shen Kan will not do that at all.
"I can't blame you, and I can't blame Enron. When the killer is caught, he blames himself, he has no good life, he was not born in a good family, no one teaches us how to live like others, all we know is to take money and kill people. ”
I looked at him and there was a sour nose. I tried my best to hold back, and after calming down for a while, I said, "That's the case, no one can blame it." ”
Shen Kan slowly straightened up, looked at me seriously, and suddenly grabbed my right hand, Xuan Xiao took a small step forward, almost about to move, but I knew that Shen Kan had no malicious intent, so he didn't resist.
Shen Kan stared into my eyes and said word by word: "I hope that on the day I am beheaded, you can come to see me for the last time." ”
I looked into his gray eyes, hesitated, and said, "Okay." ”
Shen Kan smiled bitterly and let go of my hand, leaned back against the wall, said thank you to Xuan Lian, and closed his eyes.
I stood up and left the prison with Xuan Lonely.
It wasn't until I walked out of the yamen that I took a breath and asked, "How many killers are still locked inside?" ”
"There aren't many left, and the Qinglian Society doesn't have many killers in the first place. Many have been executed, and there are not many days left for Shen Kan to live. ”
"When?"
"If it's fast, the day after tomorrow, if it's slow, you'll have to wait for another ten days."
"If you have to be executed, it's better to do it sooner."
Xuan sighed and said, "It's not up to me to have the final say, the emperor hates the killers, maybe he would rather keep them to torture for a while than kill them quickly." ”
I can understand the law of the country, and there is no way not to be sad, the killers have no relatives, no one to rely on, only by relying on an organization like the Qinglian Society can they save their lives, get money, and eat, so that they will not be abandoned on the streets like other orphans, starving to death or living in secret.
"Remember to call me to see him one last time," I said, "I'm already the most blessed of the killers of the Pure Lotus Society, and I can't be without a heart." ”
Xuan Li's face was complicated, and he said: "The lord has interceded with you, and the emperor also knows about your existence, I didn't want you to go to see him, but I think even if you go now, no one will blame you." ”
"Will there be a lot of people watching?"
"Who's okay to watch this? The people don't know much about killers, at least no one will hire a killer from the Qinglian Society to kill a small civilian, so they don't have any love or hate for killers. You know how expensive your commission is, you yourself know, the people present, the executioner, a few prisoners, maybe a few catchers, you and me, there will be no one else. ”
I nodded and said, "That's good." No one wants to be watched when they die. ”
"Don't worry, I'll try not to let so many people go when the time comes."
For a killer, the best ending is to die in the wilderness, as if he had come to the world, no one cares, and after a short time no one remembers him, and no one will look for him.
"Let's not talk about this for now, after the New Year, my brother will get married, and I will invite you to come then."
"Your brother? And with whom? ”
"Lin Han."
I suddenly remembered what Lin Han said to me on the road, she directly said that she didn't want to marry Xuan Kai, I don't know what Xuan Lin thought about this matter, so I asked, "What do you think?" ”
"What? It's just a marriage, Master Lin refers to marriage, and my brother also likes Lin Han, so I don't have any opinions. ”
"Don't you think Lin Han doesn't like Xuan Kai?"
"It's not something I can control," Xuan said, glancing at me, "Don't be nosy." ”
"When I first went to Xuzhou, Lin Han followed me all the way, and wanted me to find you to help her, how could I manage this marriage, so I shirked it, I just thought she wouldn't give up."
"What do you mean?"
"She said she already had a sweetheart, and I didn't ask much, just said that the person seemed to take more care of her, I don't know who she knows, I just don't want to see anything bad happen."
Xuan Lin frowned and said: "I understand, thank you for meeting the stars, I will observe and observe these days." ”
When I arrived at Changfu, Xuan Lin said that he was going back to the Yamen, and I knew that he was specially sending me back, so I hurriedly thanked him, and Xuan Lin waved his hand and ran away, as if he couldn't accept my kind words to him at all.
