"Dream Zhou Gongzi, Huai Zhigongzi"

Hearing the voice, Meng Zhou and Jing Rong came out of the back room.

"Sora, you're here." Meng Zhou patted Xiaokong's head and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been reading in the house for the past few days, if it weren't for Heshan to say, I wouldn't have known that you were a good seedling for reading." ”

Xiaokong said in a low voice: "I know that with my current ability, I can't help a few sons, so I have the opportunity to study, so I want to see how long I know, in case there is a place where I can use it in the future." ”

"What a stupid thing to say, you've helped us a lot." Meng Zhou said and pointed at Jing Rong and said, "However, if you really like to read, you can ask your brother Huaizhi from time to time." Meng Zhou said and smiled as if he thought of something, and learned Shen Min'er's tone and said to Jing Rong: "Isn't it, Brother Huaizhi." ”

Jing Rong was drinking tea with his hand, and Heshan heard Mengzhou's voice on the side, his shoulders shrunk, and he rushed: "Speak well." ”

Meng Zhou coughed lightly, straightened his body and said, "Just kidding." ”

"Okay." Jing Rong put down the cup and said, "Anyway, one is teaching, and two are also teaching." ”

Xiaokong was puzzled: "Two? ”

Meng Zhou saw Jing Rong's gaze sweeping towards him, and he hurriedly got up and intercepted the words: "Tsk, you kid, you are obedient and can't grasp the point, just now the son of Huai has answered you to read, you don't want to thank others." ”

Xiaokong hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, yes, Childe is willing to point out Xiaokong, and Xiaokong is grateful." ”

"It's okay, when we settle down, it's not too late to thank me when I send you to the school in Kyoto."

When Meng Zhou heard this, he was even more excited than Xiaokong, moved a stool and leaned over and said, "Really." ”

Jing Rong lazily responded.

Meng Zhou said excitedly: "Then can you also help me find an errand in Kyoto as soon as possible, I am not afraid of being tired, I can have more silver." ”

"Cough" Heshan knocked on Meng Zhou's shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense, do business." ”

Meng Zhou patted his head and said, "Oh yes, I almost forgot about this stubble, Brother Huai, when we are done with this, we will talk again." ”

Jing Rong bent the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Okay." ”

"Mengzhou Gongzi, do you have anything important to ask me?"

Meng Zhou straightened his expression and said, "Indeed, Xiaokong, do you remember the sweet fragrance in Shaoguang Hall?" ”

Xiaokong frowned, "I will never forget that smell in my life." ”

Heshan asked, "Then you don't have any special reaction to the smell?" ”

"The smell can cause confusion in people's consciousness, and even make people dull after smelling it for a long time." Xiaokong said bluntly: "But I only found out about these later. ”

Heshan said: "What do you mean? ”

"Every student who has just entered Shaoguang will be given a bracelet to wear on their wrist. After that, for those who are obedient and obedient, Mr. will give an additional bracelet at the beginning of each month in addition to new clothes, and for those who are stubborn, he will take back their bracelets. At first, everyone didn't think so, but later, those who lost the bracelet were first unconscious and often did some crazy things, and then slowly became like a puppet that lost its soul, not eating or sleeping all day long, making people feel terrible when they saw it. Then, those people disappeared mysteriously. With these doubtful things, some people in the school said that those people were guilty because they didn't listen to Mr. 's teachings and had no conscience, so they were guilty and were sucked out of their souls and took their lives. ”

Meng Zhou sneered: "It's really a good way to kill two birds with one stone." not only manipulated people's hearts, but also made a big cover for those dirty things. ”

"yes." Xiaokong sighed: "I also believed this statement for a while, until I accidentally bumped into those guards in the school hall brought unconscious students into a room and drugged them, I realized that there was something wrong, and then I secretly took off the bracelet and tried it myself, only to know that it was a big scam." ”

Heshan said: "You just said to feed medicine? What did you see later? ”

"I don't know what happened later, but I know that the medicine is exactly the same as the bottle that Meng Zhou Gongzi broke in Shaoguang Hall."

Meng Zhou said: "Then do you know, where does the sweet and greasy fragrance in the medicine come from?" ”

"It's a flower, a purple flower." Xiao Kong was a little emotionally excited: "I remember very clearly, that flower Ah Yuan once took it back, at that time I didn't realize that all this was a scam, and under the smell day and night, the smell of a flower is even more insignificant." But at that time, Ah Yuan liked the flower very much, so he planted it by the wall of the courtyard and took care of it every day. I remember that more than once I persuaded him to pluck the flower and stop spending time taking care of it every day. ”

Heshan glanced at Meng Zhou and said, "Did you see what was wrong with that flower later?" ”

Xiaokong nodded and shook his head, hesitantly: "Actually, I couldn't say it at that time, I just felt uncomfortable when I saw that flower." Before the flower was planted, the grass was overgrown on the wall, but since the flower was planted, the plants around it seemed to have been sucked out of their souls, and slowly lost their vitality until they turned into clumps of dead grass. ”

Xiaokong said with a wry smile and said: "It wasn't until I broke through those people's deception that I realized that everything was symptomatic, and it turned out that I was just scared at that time." What you think is beautiful and fragile ends up being a sharp blade that hurts you. Just like Ah Yuan liked that flower so much, but later it also died at its feet like those dead grass, turning into a pool of blood and bones that nourished the demon. ”

Meng Zhou held Xiaokong's hand distressedly, but he didn't know what to say.

Xiaokong wiped the water marks from the corners of his eyes, and said in a voice: "Don't worry, Childe, I'm fine, if you have anything else you want to ask, just ask, I will definitely know everything." ”

Meng Zhou hesitated for two seconds and said, "Then do you remember Ah Yuanhe, where did you get the flower back?" ”

Xiaokong nodded and said: "I remember, once the flower was trampled on by the students in the same room, Ah Yuan was unwilling, and pulled me to pick up a few more flowers, so I remember very clearly, that road is in a small dirt alley behind Shaoguang Hall." However, the last time Ah Yuan and I went, the road had already been sealed. ”

Heshan said: "This is a clue, but we are trapped here now, and we are really powerless." ”

Meng Zhou said: "It's not that there is no way, I heard a good news today, which just came in handy." ”

Xiaokong said curiously: "Mengzhou Gongzi, what is the good news?" ”

"The day after tomorrow, the Gao Mansion will set up a banquet and entertain the surrounding officials and merchants, maybe the people we want to see are inside."

Heshan said: "You mean Zhang Hou, you heard this news from Shen Min'er?" ”

Meng Zhou wrung his hands and said with a weak heart: "It was she who asked me what I liked, and I casually said that I like to be lively, so we chatted a few more words." ”

Heshan sneered and said: Then Shen Min'er talked to you, and the first five sentences in the three sentences were Brother Huai, so I can talk about your preferences, I'm afraid that you will rely on Brother Huai again. ”

"Shut up, you'll talk."

There was a sudden commotion in the house, and Jing Rong sighed in his heart when he saw Xiaokong's face sweeping and heard the haze of the Gao family.

In the middle of the night, the window snapped twice, the candlelight flickered, and a dark shadow jumped into the room.

"Childe."

"How's that going for you to check?"

Sanqi said: "The subordinates followed Xie Chi for a few days and found that he had a lot of private contact with a man, and after investigation, the subordinates found that the man was the coachman under Ling'er." In addition, his subordinates also intercepted a secret message from Liu Yi flying to Kyoto. ”

Jing Rong looked at it, thought for a few seconds, and said, "How is the relationship between Xie Chi and Liu Yi?" ”

"As Gongzi guessed before, most of the power of the Shuiyang Gang is in Liu Yi's hands, but Xie Chi holds half of the Shuiyang Gang's transportation line from west to east in his hands, if this line is broken, then half of the business in Liu Yi's hands will be smashed on it. So over the years, Liu Yi and Xie Chi seem to be brothers on the surface, but secretly they are trying to defeat each other's forces in the gang. As for this reputation, it must be Liu Yi's slow move to dismantle Xie Chi. ”

"If you want to step on it, you must first hold it, such a long plan, if no one supports it, it is indeed a little difficult to rely on Liu Yi's strength alone."

"Can Childe find out who corresponded with Liu Yi?"

Jing Rong waved his hand: "No need, he will let it go first." What's your progress on that girl? ”

Sanqi lowered his head and said: "Forgive her subordinates for their incompetence, she, her subordinates have not yet found out." ”

Jing Rong frowned, pondered for a few moments, and said: "At most half a month, if there is no progress, send a message to Lin Chen and let him investigate." ”

Sanqiyi was stunned, lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

"Also, go and check the banquet in the Houri High Mansion."

"Yes" Sanqi replied and said: "Childe, in addition to the things that Elder Yu asked his subordinates to hand over to you last night, there are also some subordinates who are afraid of breaking them and have not handed them over to you." Sanqi said and carefully took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "This is what the young lady asked her subordinates to hand over to you." ”

Jing Rong slowly unfolded, and two villains were drawn on the paper, and a reading was written crookedly on the side. He slowed down his expression and said, "Chi Huan, did he have anything to say?" ”

Sanqi hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Jing Rong sighed and said, "I know, you can go." ”

"Yes"

At the end of the next day, Heshan pushed open the door and saw Meng Zhou sitting in the courtyard with his back to his feet, a navy blue shirt scattered at his feet, and his shoulders shrugged and he didn't know what he was doing.

"What are you doing?"

With a shout, the startled dream Zhou's heart trembled, and the needle in his hand was misplaced, and the middle was pierced between his fingers.

"Hey, what the hell is your name, do you know that people are scary and scared to death."

Heshan sat on the stool in a stride and said, "What are you lacking in heart, what are you doing again?" He said touching the shirt in Mengzhou's hand and said, "By the way, didn't you go to Shen Min'er to discuss the matter of tomorrow's banquet in the Gaofu?" Where did this come from, it looks familiar. ”

Meng Zhou sighed and rubbed the blood on his hands, and said, "Don't mention it, Shen Min'er was infected with the wind cold yesterday, and she really couldn't move, and I saw that she couldn't go to tomorrow's banquet." ”

"What then?"

"What else can I do?" Meng Zhou shook the clothes in his hand and said, "Rely on yourself." However, on the way back, I happened to meet the people of the Shuiyang Gang who would go to Gaofu tomorrow to give gifts, so I chatted with them by the way. ”

Heshan glanced at the clothes again and said, "You also took a piece of clothing back?" ”

"Wrong, it's two, and" Meng Zhou said and put down his clothes, smiling a little proudly, "This is for you." ”

Heshan sighed helplessly, hugged the wine jar in his hand and said, "I thank you." ”、

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Heshan looked at Meng Zhou's smile, and remembered that every time they had a banquet in the rich merchants in their place, Meng Zhou could sneak in every time, naturally like the host's house, and finally came back with a whole roast chicken and a pot of wine, now that I think about it, she really hasn't changed at all, and she has not grown in other good aspects, swaggering and cheating, stealing chickens and touching dogs, she has been singing all the way, and she is perfect, which is simply incomparable.

Thinking of this, Heshan said: "You, let's converge and converge." In the past, we were a small place, and the people were stupid and had a lot of money and enthusiasm, so it was convenient for you to swindle, and the place you went to tomorrow is not as good as before. ”

"Oh, don't worry, I know." Meng Zhou said and glanced around and said, "By the way, what about Brother Huai?" How I didn't see him. ”

"In the afternoon you went out with your front foot, and he followed him out with your back foot, and I thought he was looking for you. Why, you didn't see him? ”

Meng Zhou shook his head, "He didn't say anything to you when he left?" ”

"Just said don't worry, he'll be back soon."

"Oh, that'll do."

Heshan said: "What kind of reaction do you have, don't you worry." ”

"What is there to worry about, this is so big, where else can he go in broad daylight, besides, Brother Huai's ability is greater than you and me, don't forget, who rescued you."

Speaking of this stubble, Heshan became interested, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, do you know what Brother Huai is about?" ”

"Didn't I tell you before how we met and how we got you out? What more do you want to know? ”

"Aren't you curious about his true identity? And, his purpose? ”

Meng Zhou said: "We have experienced so many hardships in life and death, if he wants to say it, he will naturally say it, besides, didn't you tell him your true purpose?" Meng Zhou said and sewed a small bag into his clothes, picked up his clothes and stood up and said: "We will be scattered wherever we go, as long as we are together, we don't have any bad thoughts about each other, it is enough to help each other, and we know what to do so well." ”

"You can see it."

"That is, when you're done with your business, we're not going home yet. I'm still waiting for you to provide for me. ”

"Dreaming." Heshan said for a moment, "Brother Huai." ”

Meng Zhou turned around with Heshan's voice, and saw Jing Rong standing quietly behind her, as if she had been standing for a long time.

Meng Zhou snatched the wine in Heshan's hand, stuffed his clothes into his arms, smiled heartlessly, and said to Chong Jing: "Brother Huai, when did you come back?" Let's have a drink. ”

"No, drink it yourself." After Jing Rong finished speaking, he lifted his steps and entered the house, without even stopping his gaze.

Leaving an inexplicable Meng Zhou, "What's wrong with him, God and God, did I provoke him again?" ”

Heshan took the small jar of wine and muttered, "What a fool." ”

"What are you muttering about?"

"I said, Brother Huai is back, why don't you go and discuss with him about tomorrow? Hey, give you clothes. ”
