"The night raindrops are empty, and the dawn light is dim out of the room. When will we drink together? ”

"Good poetry, good poetry!"

Xu You turned his head and said with a smile: "Why did you come out too?" ”

He Wei walked up the stairs, tightened his clothes, sat on the stone bench beside him, and said, "I can't sleep, I see light here, so I come over and take a look." I didn't expect Shichiro to sit alone, what's the matter, enjoy the rain on a winter night and look for verses? ”

"Not really!" Xu You sat on the pillar of the court, stretched out his legs, and said in a soothing manner: "It's just that I can't sleep either, and when I walk slowly, I suddenly feel something." ”

"Remembering the old man?"

"Yes! When I was a young friend, I was extremely stubborn at that time, and I often fought for people's lives, if he hadn't dissuaded me more and told me the truth of being a man, I was afraid that I would not have caused more trouble. ”

"Oh, and there is such a man, what is his name?"

"Shen Yue, Shen Xingdao!"

He Wei shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this person!" ”

"He has a weak temperament and does not like to show off, so his reputation is not good, but his talent belongs to the top grade, and now he is ...... Should study in Jinling. Its wings, you wait and see, in less than ten years, everyone in the world will know the name of Shen Xingdao! ”

Shen Yue...... But the people of the Wuxing Shen family? ”

Xu You sighed and said, "Exactly! ”

He Wei sighed and said, "No wonder Qilang has the feeling of 'each other is sad and drinking, when to push the knee together'...... Since he is a member of the Shen family, if he sees him again in the future, he will be an enemy! Forget about this cap! ”

Xu You smiled bitterly: "He is not valued in the Shen family, an unknown little person, if you want to talk about the grudge between the Xu and Shen families, it has little to do with him!" ”

"Xu Shen Xu Shen is the grudge between the two surnames and the two families, he has the surname Shen, that is, the son of the Shen family, and he can't get rid of it! If it is really as Qilang expected, ten years later, the world will be famous, and Shen Yue will definitely become an important figure in the Shen family, and at that time, will he sit back and watch Qilang wipe out the Shen family? ”

Xu You was silent, a trace of indescribable sadness flashed in his eyes, and said: "From a close friend to an enemy, the world is so bleak!" ”

He Wei knew that with Xu You's mind, he would soon be able to get rid of the short-term pain, so he didn't comfort him, but just asked, "Why did you suddenly think of him tonight?" ”

"The knife during the day, the flying heads, and the blood splatters kept me awake at night. Sitting in the gazebo, listening to the sound of the rain, I remembered the old people in the past! ”

"Hey, Shichiro has killed a lot of people, right? Back then, I exterminated the thieves in Chimei Mountain, and I heard that you killed dozens of people by yourself, and today you are only one thief......"

Xu You can't explain all the wonderful things that happen in this body, he fuses Xu You's soul and inherits his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but the part that belongs to him still dominates, so killing people, especially the first time he kills with his own hands, will always feel a little different.

He wasn't afraid, nor was he so pretentious about the sequelae of murder, but just watched a living human life pass by in his hands, and the pleasure of being able to control everything, and the conscience of wantonly depriving others of life and death without trial, collided fiercely in his mind.

"yes, it's just one person!"

Now that we have embarked on the road of revenge, the number of people who will die in the hands will only become more and more in the future, and there is no point in thinking about the rule of law and freedom in this era, and the hatred infected by blood can only be washed with blood!

"Tomorrow, you tell Dong Solstice and let her go to find out what strange things happened in Dade Temple, and let Lu Hui and Du Sansheng come to judge the lawsuit in person?"

"And such a thing?" He Wei suddenly became interested and said: "The bald donkeys are restless, I know, but I didn't expect that it had only been a few days since I came to Qiantang, and the Dade Temple had not been repaired, so I started to do nonsense!" Ha, interesting, interesting! ”

On the second day, Su Tang came to the county government early in the morning, Lu Hui met her in the second hall, asked about the situation at home, and learned that Su Tang's parents were dead, he was embarrassed, and comforted him a few words warmly, and said: "Knowing that you have been wronged, I will let Liu Yan come to the door to apologize to you another day." It is unfortunate that such a thing happened, but it is fortunate for me to see that there is a fierce and chaste woman like you in Qiantang, which is really the contribution of the county's revitalization and education, and it is gratifying. ”

For the first time, Su Tang saw what an official character had two mouths, and she could find merit from such evil deeds to put gold on her face, she was disgusted, her tone became more and more cold, and said: "If the county order has nothing else to order, the people's daughter will retire for the time being!" ”

"Don't worry!" Lu Hui pretended to inadvertently flick the dust on his robe, and said with a smile: "Did your parents marry you before they died?" ”

Su Tang's heart trembled slightly, and he shook his head and said, "No!" ”

Lu Huixiao's mouth was about to crack, and he said, "Do you have a favorite Lang Jun?" ”

Su Tang lowered his head, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he was silent. Although she is unemployed, she is smart by nature, knowledgeable and modern, and the thoughts of men can be known without asking.

"Don't get me wrong, I just saw that you were lonely, and I was moved by pity, and I wanted to find you a satisfactory home."

"Don't worry about the county order!" Su Tang categorically refused, and said: "My parents died early, and my fate is decided by the people themselves!" ”

"What are these words?" Lu Hui smiled and said: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the major event of life, how can it be so hasty?" ”

Su Tang did not back down, and said-for-tat: "Zhou Li said that in the middle of the spring moon, men and women will be able to run. It can be known that in the three generations, men and women often make private lifelong decisions, and it is not hasty or sloppy! ”

Lu Hui looked sideways, this woman spoke really boldly, not comparable to ordinary women, and said patiently: "The runner is a concubine!" You are in the prime of life, and you are willing to be a concubine? ”

"What about being a concubine?" Su Tang raised his eyebrows and said: "Besides, my parents are dead, and I choose my lover as my husband, what if I don't go through the matchmaker?" If you like me, you can also be a wife! ”

Lu Hui's face sank suddenly, and said: "If you don't wait for your parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, you will peep through the holes, and follow each other over the wall, then your parents and people will be cheap." Are you going to shame your parents under the spring? ”

Su Tang's complexion was cold, he stood up, and said word by word: "I inherited the teachings of my parents when I was young, recited the classics of "poems" and "books", cultivated virtue and self-cultivation, accumulated kindness and prudence, and the ancestors knew that they should be proud of me, how can they be ashamed?" ”

"Eloquence!" Lu Hui was born in the family, and he was a county magistrate, and he was angry when he was confronted by a folk girl in Su Tang, and he lost face, slapped the case with his hand, and reprimanded: "Retreat!" ”

Waiting for Su Tang to leave, Lu Hui was still angry, pacing back and forth in the hall. He coveted Su Tang's beauty, and thought that if he was kind and seduced a little, he would definitely be able to include him in the room and give him what he wanted. I don't want this woman to be so ignorant, pretending to be stupid, and sure enough, the rural village woman doesn't have much knowledge, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall!

Liu Yan turned around from behind, he came earlier than Su Tang, he stayed in the cubicle and listened quietly, and said with a smile: "The Ming Mansion is angry, only women and villains are difficult to raise, don't be angry for such a little girl who doesn't know how to lift!" ”

Lu Hui snorted, and then remembered Su Tang's face and figure, and felt a little itchy in his heart, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said: "Little jasper, it's probably like this, but it has a different charm." ”

Liu Yan heard the clue, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of adults in the Ming Mansion!" However, if you are interested, you have a plan below, and you are not afraid that Na Luo will be ruthless......"

Lu Hui's expression moved slightly, but he was noncommittal, changed the topic, and said: "Those craftsmen are still used by you, but remember for me, don't make trouble this time, next April, all forty-nine Buddha statues must be completed." ”

Liu Yan knew that if he didn't refuse, he agreed, his smile was full of flattery, and he said, "Don't worry, Mingfu, I will definitely do it properly." ”

This is a pun, not only to do the Buddha statue well, but also to do Su Tang's thing!

Lu Hui was greatly satisfied, although Liu Yan was the lowest businessman, but he had a delicate mind, his hands and eyes were transparent, and he was very easy to use, which was much more comfortable than those subordinates in the yamen.

Su Tang returned home, only to feel tired, slept until the afternoon, got up and leaned in front of the window and looked at the Jingyuan opposite, Fang Xiuniang didn't know when she stood behind her, took a plain jacket and draped it over her shoulders, and said pityingly: "The cold is too heavy, wear more clothes." ”

"Sister, you say, are all men in the world hypocritical?"

Fang Xiuniang hesitated and said, "Does the girl mean Xu Langjun?" ”

"Xu You?" Su Tang's eyes were confused, he leaned down slightly and lay on the window, his jade hand poked out of the window, and the water droplets hanging on the eaves dripped into the palm of his hand, not stained with a little dust, and he was extremely clear, and said: "Yesterday, you asked for help everywhere and had no way, only he galloped in the rain, killed people in anger, and saved us from overturning." I have only read about such a man in books, and I thought that he was like the disciple of King Chu Zhao, Shi Lu, who was just and righteous, but unexpectedly in the face of Lu Hui's coercion, he was willing to bow his head, and did not hesitate to grovel to flatter ......."

Fang Xiuniang had already heard her talk about the debate with Xu You before, and said softly: "Actually, what Xu Langjun said is also reasonable, it is better to back down when it is time to back down." As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that Lu County Ling is not an idle official, that is the son of the Lu family, his words, Xu Langjun dare not listen! ”

"Reason? The truth of the world is in the books of the saints, not in the power of the gatekeepers. If it was because Lu Hui was born in the Chinese clan that he obeyed his words and ignored his behavior of disregarding the laws of the country, wouldn't it be worthy of the teachings of the saints? ”

Su Tang gently closed his palms, felt the trembling of the cold water droplets when they broke, raised his head, looked at the dripping rain line, and said with yearning: "The eunuchs of the Han Dynasty were autocratic, and the students gathered to discuss the evils of the times. At that time, the scholars wanted to be different from the current readers, they were determined to be the Tao, and they could be called real husbands when they faced difficulties! ”

"Girl, I don't understand the truth of the sage, but in Qiantang, the county order is a person like God, we are a small family, helpless, but we want to live in peace, why bother to learn from those scholars to provoke right and wrong?"

"You don't understand!"

Su Tang lowered his eyelids, the green silk fell obliquely, and the jade bones and ice muscles were like the most beautiful picture scroll in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and he murmured in a low voice: "You don't understand!" Sometimes it's not that I want to cause trouble, but someone who has to come to you for trouble, and you can't avoid it! ”

She thought of Lu Hui's performance today, and there was a little ambiguity in the open and in secret, and she only hoped that those unpretentious words could make him understand that power could make Xu You bow his head, but he couldn't make a woman commit!

At this moment, a maid ran in and said in a panic: "Girl, there are a few rangers outside the gate, shouting for someone......

Fang Xiuniang's face changed greatly, and she said angrily: "Drive them out!" Find someone to look elsewhere, there are no people here! ”

"I said it, but they were all very fierce and didn't listen at all!"

Fang Xiuniang said to Su Tang: "I'll go and see, girl, you can rest!" ”

Su Tang stopped her, her face turned cold, and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

The people outside the door, Su Tang, they had never seen before, the leader was wearing black clothes and leather belts, round faces, and red phoenix eyes, and he was not terrifying, and he spoke very politely, and he arched his hand and said: "Excuse me, my name is Ma Jin, and I came to find my brother Ma Yin." ”

Su Tang said lightly: "There is no man in my door, let alone your so-called brother. This is a private house, there is a difference between men and women, please leave with your brother! ”

"I don't like to listen to what the girl says, whether there is a man or not, you don't care, you have to listen to what the people of Qiantang County say! Brothers, what do you hear in the streets? ”

"I hear a lot, tsk...... I'm just afraid to say it, Miss Su can't hold it on her face! ”

"That's it, after all, I'm not married. If you want to lose your reputation first, who would dare to marry the media? ”

"What is marrying or not marrying, and Miss Su didn't say that she must get married, right?"

"Not married? If you don't marry, will you be a widow? ”

"A living widow? Oh, didn't you listen to the old jade head of Qinghe Lane on West Street, the door of Miss Su's house is closed during the day, but it is quietly open at night, and there is always a handsome Lang Jun wandering in front of the door from time to time, as for whether he went in, this ...... I don't know! ”

Everyone laughed in unison, and their eyes looked up and down Su Tang's body, extremely obscene. Ma Jin waved his hand to silence them, looked at Su Tang's pale face, and said with a smile: "I know that these are the rumors of idlers in the market, and the girl is not such a shameless person." But my brother was cut off his arm by the girl's part yesterday, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, I came to look for him, and I said it was in the past, right? ”

"Broken arm?" Su Tang said sharply: "Do you mean the brute who was in Jingqiu yesterday?" ”

Ma Jin's face was gloomy, he took three steps forward, and said, "He is my own brother, you call him a brute, but do you say that I am also a brute?" ”

Su Tang held back the anger in his heart and said: "Yesterday's incident, the county government has already approved and closed the case, you have to find someone, find Lu Mingfu to ask for it!" ”

"I asked the county office, but I didn't see my brother. I've been to Mirror Hill too, and I don't even have a ghost. is a good person, you will never live without seeing people die without seeing corpses, you must be holding a grudge and sending someone to kill him! Say, where are the bodies buried? ”

"It's not a pity to die like that!" Su Tang will calm down, no matter what Ma Jin said is true or not, the ranger with the broken arm really doesn't remember how to deal with it, but he has a vague impression, it seems that after they got on the ox cart, Xu You's subordinates, the one named Wu Shan, tied him up and took him to the edge of the cliff, is it ......

"You leave quickly, you don't have a county government sign, don't want to enter the house here!"

Su Tang is so tough, Ma Jin has no choice, it is a big crime to break into a private house, and he said viciously: "Okay!" Let's go first, come back tomorrow, don't give Lao Tzu an explanation, I'll see how you can gain a foothold in Qiantang! ”
