After being stuffy in the coffin for too long, Yue Yan fainted after walking a few steps.

Chu Huai'an subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold her, but a gust of wind blew around him, and Gu Wei caught Yue Yan faster than him and hugged her into his arms.

"Didn't you want to kill people just now? What are you doing so nervous? ”

Chu Huai'an deliberately stabbed him with words, but Gu Bing didn't say anything, picked up Yue Yan and walked down the mountain.

He hadn't hugged her like this for many years, she had lost a lot of weight, and she didn't have any weight in her arms, and she was even a little awkward.

Gu Zhi was a little distressed, he swore in his heart that he would marry a girl who would be loved and cared for at home, but when he didn't know, he also suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins.

But he was so immersed in his own world that he had no time to care about her feelings.

After returning to the city, Gu Ji directly took Yue Yan back to Gu's house, Chu Huai'an asked people to enter the palace and called the imperial doctor to Gu's house to treat Yue Yan, and then quickly whipped back to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as Chu Huai'an left on the front foot, Zhao Hanzhuo got the letter on the back foot, and took Zhang Zhizhi to the Gu family with Zhao Shi.

Except for a porter, the Gu family had no subordinates, and after Zhao Hanzhuo flashed his waist card and entered, Zhang Zhizhi acted as a guide.

She ran over the wall to Gu's house a few times, so she was naturally familiar with the terrain here.

"I said he couldn't be a murderer, if he was really a murderer, would he come back so blatantly?"

Zhang Zhizhi was arguing for Gu Zhi all the way, Zhao Hanzhuo thought she was noisy, and gave Zhang Zhizhi a cold look warning, Zhao Shi tacitly drew his sword next to him, Zhang Zhizhi was immediately silent, staring at Zhao Hanzhuo with wide eyes: Hmph! Throw one’s weight around!

The three of them walked all the way to Gu Zhi's courtyard, Zhang Zhizhi finally had some confidence, and after entering the courtyard, he opened his mouth to call Gu Zhi's name, but when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped.

There is a bamboo couch in Gu Jiong's room, which is placed in the place facing the door on weekdays for a rest.

Gu's house was rebuilt by Gu Jiong according to the drawings drawn by memory, and the furnishings in the house were restored as much as possible, the room where Gu Jiong lives now was originally lived by his parents, and this couch was also afraid of heat when he was very young, and his mother made a special trip to find someone to make it for him.

The couch is not big, but Gu Zhi likes it very much, Zhang Zhizhi accidentally touched it before, and was glanced at by Gu Zhizhi, as if she had moved something that should not be moved, but now there is a person lying on the couch.

The dress is light blue, and the skirt is embroidered with silver thread with piping dark lines, which shows that the identity is good.

Gu Jiong's room, how could there be a woman?

Zhang Zhizhi was puzzled, his heart was beating fast, and he thought of the answer in an instant, but he still stepped forward step by step.

Gu Zhi's vigilance is very high on weekdays, as long as Zhang Zhizhi enters this courtyard, he will be discovered, but at this moment she is about to walk to the door, and he still sits with his back to her and does not notice.

Is this the woman he has always hidden in his heart?

Zhang Zhizhi thought, one foot quietly stepped into the room, Gu Zhi suddenly raised his head and took a sip of water, and then leaned over and pressed against the lips of the person on the bed.

Zhang Zhizhi was shocked, and he didn't expect to see such a scene at all.

The Gu Zhi, who was usually as cold as an iceberg, actually kissed a woman, and the Gu Zhi, who claimed that he was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit when he was touched by a woman, actually fed a woman water mouth-to-mouth!

What people don't get close to, what doesn't like to be touched by women, it's all fart!

This man is clearly a rogue bastard!

Zhang Zhizhi is an anxious person, what he thinks in his heart, he scolds on his lips: "Gu Zhi, you scoundrel, big bastard, stop me!" ”

While scolding, Zhang Zhizhi pounced.

Gu Jiong didn't know that someone had entered the house at this time, so he immediately got up, turned his head and grabbed Zhang Zhizhi's hand to restrain her.

He has never been serious in his shot, and as soon as he subconsciously flipped his wrist, he heard a crisp sound of 'click', Zhang Zhizhi's right hand was dislocated, if it was in the past, Zhang Zhizhi would definitely scream and scream in pain exaggeratedly, but at this time she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, only red eyes, and stared at Gu Zhi with tears.

This man was so ruthless that he easily unloaded her arm with one hand.

But how gentle he was when he just fed people water, the moment she rushed over, she could see the tenderness that he couldn't hide in his eyes clearly, clearly.

He doesn't know how to be gentle, it just depends on whether he wants to or not.

"Gu Jiong, stop!"

Zhao Hanzhuo shouted, although he felt that Zhang Zhizhi was very noisy, but as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he had the responsibility to protect the lives of the witnesses related to the case.

Hearing Zhao Hanzhuo's voice, Zhang Zhizhi seemed to have been clicked on some kind of mechanism, and immediately turned his head and shouted at Zhao Hanzhuo: "I want to testify, it was this bastard who killed the blacksmith's family of four, and he just bullied the yellow flower girl, his relatives, and stuck out his tongue, phew, shameless!" ”

Zhang Zhizhi shouted vigorously, and after scolding the last word, tears flowed down.

My arm hurts, but my heart hurts even more.

How stupid she is, with the name of an old girl who can't get married, she follows this person every day, and she is happy that people don't look at her, although she accidentally sees him wearing a woman's hairpin, she has always thought that the owner of the hairpin has died a long time ago, otherwise why don't you marry someone home with Gu Zhi's temperament?

She thought that as long as she had perseverance, she would be able to get Gu Zhi off one day, but she didn't expect Gu Jiong's sweetheart to be alive, and she was just a ridiculous clown from beginning to end.

It's ridiculous!

Zhang Zhizhi kept thinking in her heart, she had foreseen that she would become a laughing stock in Beijing in the future, and it should be more difficult for her to get married.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizhi's tears flowed even happier, Zhao Hanzhuo stepped forward and looked at Gu Zhizhi for a moment, Gu Zhizhi let go of his hand, Zhao Hanzhuo saw that Zhang Zhizhi looked depressed, and directly grabbed her dislocated arm and gently sent it away, so that her arm was in place.

Zhang Zhizhi sniffed and tried to move his arm, but found that it was indeed no longer painful, and said in surprise: "Will you treat bruises?" ”

“……”

This girl, is your focus a little biased?

Zhao Hanzhuo didn't answer Zhang Zhizhi's question, he pulled a stool and sat next to Gu Zhi: "What happened when you disappeared with Lord Renxian?" ”

"Who is the dead blacksmith? When did he die? Why do you think I'm a murderer? ”

Gu Zhi didn't answer the rhetorical question, and he could already get a lot of information from the sentence that Zhang Zhizhi just yelled.

Zhao Hanzhuo didn't rush to answer, lowered his head and twisted his sleeves, feeling that things were a bit tricky, this case was extraordinary, Gu Zhi, as the biggest suspect so far, had the Gu family's inherited case-solving skills, all punishments were useless to him, and Zhang Zhizhi's words gave him the upper hand, which was really unfavorable.

"Master Gu, you don't seem to know that you are now the focus of suspicion in this case." Zhao Hanzhuo straightened his cuffs and said lightly: "The current case handling process of Dali Temple was still formulated by Ling Zun back then, you should know very well that I can't reveal any details related to this case to you now, and you should cooperate with me to accept the investigation." ”

Zhao Hanzhuo deliberately moved out of Gu Yunxiu, Gu Jiong has always been resistant to the imperial court, if he does not cooperate with the investigation, I am afraid that this case will be even more confusing.

Gu Bing pursed his lips, was silent for a moment and said what happened that day and night, he was also the official who handled the case, his description was quite clear, the time and the surrounding environment, and his own reaction motives at that time were very clear and coherent.

If this confession is recorded, it can be used as a model for future testimony in court.

But often many things are too perfect, but they can make people feel unreal.

Zhao Hanzhuo listened carefully and did not rush to express his opinion, and when Gu Ji finished speaking, he silently digested it and asked: "Where was Master Gu at the hour of the night before yesterday?" ”

"Sleep at home." Gu Wei replied, and immediately guessed that the blacksmith's family should have died at that time, Zhao Hanzhuo didn't care if he guessed anything, and continued to ask: "Is there a witness?" ”

"Nope."

"Yes!"

Gu Zhizhi's and Zhang Zhizhi's voices sounded at the same time, Gu Zhizhi frowned, Zhang Zhizhi's emotions had calmed down, and he said with red eyes: "I was with him the night before yesterday!" ”

When the words fell, Yue Yan's eyelashes trembled, and this subtle movement did not escape Zhao Hanzhuo's eyes: "Since the county lord has woken up, please ask the county lord to answer a few questions as well." ”

was provoked in public, Yue Yan couldn't pretend anymore, she could only open her eyes, she avoided Gu Zhizhi's gaze, and glanced at Zhang Zhizhi, Zhang Zhizhi couldn't accept that he had a living rival in love, and glared at Yue Yan angrily.

Yue Yan propped himself up and sat up: "I don't know what Lord Zhao wants to ask?" ”

"What Gu Ji said just now is the truth? Was the county lord really kidnapped on the way to the banquet of the prince? According to the Yuanzhao ancestral system, the county lord must have two guards to protect him when he leaves the palace, and in broad daylight, it should be difficult to take away the county lord, a big living person. ”

Zhao Hanzhuo reasoned from facts, Yue Yan nodded: "Indeed, as Lord Zhao said, when I left the palace, there were four guards accompanying me, and I sent two people to the pastry shop in the east of the city to help me get the congratulatory gift that I specially found someone to customize, and the remaining two accompanied me, and suddenly an old man was sick in the middle of the road, and there were many people watching, when I went down to rescue, I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my neck, and the whole person was unconscious, and when I woke up, I inexplicably found myself lying in a coffin, and then I was rescued by Lord Gu and Hou Ye. ”

"Old man? What kind of old man does it look like? ”

"There were so many people that I couldn't squeeze into the crowd and see the man."

Yue Yan shook her head, now that she thinks about it, the so-called old man's illness at that time should just be a deliberate chaos created by the people behind the scenes, so that she could be taken away unknowingly in the chaos.

Yue Yan's confession basically coincided with Gu Zhi's, she was kidnapped halfway, and Gu Jiong chased her all the way to Flying Eagle Mountain because she saw someone kidnapping her.

"How many people know when the county lord is going to leave the palace?"

"The carriage had already been greeted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was ready to be used, but it was a little later than I expected that day, because the Ministry of Internal Affairs had come to measure the size and prepare to make summer clothes."

The rules in the palace are big, and the style is also big, from the emperor to the palace people below, the clothes of each season are to be newly made.

This was nothing special, but the people in the palace didn't measure it early or late, so they chose to measure the size on that day, and now that I think about it, it's hard to say whether it's a coincidence or deliberate.

Zhao Hanzhuo silently wrote it down, and asked Yue Yan if she still remembered the name and appearance of the palace people, Yue Yan shook her head and said that she couldn't remember clearly, she was in a hurry to go out of the palace to attend Gu Li and Lu Ji's wedding that day, so naturally she didn't have the time to observe what the palace people looked like.

Zhao Hanzhuo nodded and didn't force it, turned his head to look at Zhang Zhizhi, and then asked the topic just now: "You said that you and Gu Jiong had been together the night before yesterday, what did you do?" ”

"We've done a lot!"

Zhang Zhizhi deliberately gritted his teeth and said, ignoring Gu Zhi's warning eyes. Zhao Hanzhuo didn't demolish her, and asked according to the process: "For example?" ”

"He's pulling my hand!"

Zhang Zhizhi insisted on it, although the real situation was that she happily ran to tell Gu Zhi that she had found more than a dozen dart masters from the dart bureau, and that she could help Gu Li support the façade when she was married on the second day, Gu Zhi answered her without being salty, and knelt in the ancestral ancestral hall to continue to bow religiously.

Seeing that there was an opportunity, she took a stick of incense and wanted to light it for Gu Jiong, but when Gu Ji snatched the stick of incense from her hand, she wiped her hand.

"And then?"

Zhao Hanzhuo asked, Zhang Zhizhi wanted to make up nonsense and just pull it all night, he was reluctant to let his sister get married, so he didn't let her go, but Gu Zhizhi's eyes were too cold and terrible, Zhang Zhizhi had to change his words: "Then let it go." ”

"So ...... for the rest of the night?"

"I'm lying on the wall to peek at him, he has been kneeling in the ancestral hall and hasn't moved, it's impossible to go out and kill people!"

Zhang Zhizhi said categorically, her eyes became more and more red, this bastard, why did she have to testify for him at this time to clear his grievances? Just let him be caught in the prison and beheaded!

Zhao Hanzhuo believed that Zhang Zhizhi was not lying, but her testimony alone could not completely clear Gu Zhi's suspicion.

Gu Ji also understood this truth, and said to Zhao Hanzhuo: "I want to go and see the corpse of the blacksmith's family." ”

Since the other party wants to frame him, he always has to do something somewhere and leave evidence related to him.

Zhao Xi is a little impetuous, he looks very reliable on weekdays and will not have any major problems, once he meets a master, he is easy to be led by the nose, and misses some key information to solve the case, Zhao Hanzhuo has long wanted to teach him a lesson, and now Gu Zhiken has taken the initiative to ask to show up to teach, Zhao Hanzhuo naturally has no reason to object.

"Yes, but the corpse can't flow out, you have to follow me to Dali Temple."

When Gu Yunxiu was still the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Dali Temple was almost Gu Jiong's second home, there were many memories that he was unwilling to touch, and after returning to Beijing for so many years, he basically walked around Dali Temple, and now he wants to go in, it still takes a lot of effort.

Gu Bing really didn't agree immediately, and Zhao Hanzhuo didn't urge, waiting patiently, giving him enough time to think.

After a long time, Gu Bing finally opened his mouth and said one word: "Okay!" ”

Yue Yan's eyes widened in surprise, she thought that Gu Ji would never touch those memories again, but now he actually agreed!

Zhang Zhizhi was also surprised, since she liked Gu Zhi, she had more or less inquired about his past, except for sighing, the rest was distressed.

Now that Gu Jiong is about to re-enter Dali Temple, as a bystander, she knows better what this means.

Gu Ji had to face the past that he was very reluctant to talk about again.

If he wants to reconcile with the past, does it mean that he has to let go of himself and embrace a better future?

But in the future he wants to embrace, there is no her at all!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizhi pursed his mouth, he really couldn't hold back, and he cried out.

"Shut up!"

Zhao Hanzhuo's temples jumped suddenly, Zhang Zhizhi didn't stop, but cried even more fiercely: "Wow, no, I'm so wronged, I can't bear it!" ”

Zhao Hanzhuo couldn't bear it anymore, got up and covered Zhang Zhizhi's mouth and nose and dragged her out of the door, Zhao Shi followed out, and closed the door smoothly.

The room was quiet, the atmosphere was a little stiff, and the two of them, who had not sat down in close proximity for many years, were too embarrassed to do so.

Yue Yan uncomfortably cut his ears and hair, trying hard to find a topic, but he didn't succeed, and finally Gu Ji spoke first: "When did you wake up just now?" ”

“……”

The first question, lore!

Yue Yan woke up when Zhang Zhizhi screamed and pounced, at that time her consciousness was not very clear, she only faintly felt something pressing on her lips, and the tip of her tongue was still against something, and then she heard Zhang Zhizhi scold him for being a hooligan, saying that he stuck out his tongue by feeding water or something, so she reacted to what happened, but at this time, how could she be embarrassed to answer?

"Miss Zhang said she woke up when she stayed with you all night."

Yue Yan decisively chose to lie, Gu Jiong's eyebrows raised, but fortunately he didn't keep pestering on this issue, and said instead: "Fake!" ”

"What?"

"I didn't stay with her all night, and I didn't hold her hand!"

Gu Wei explained seriously and looked at Yue Yan's eyes fixedly.

His eyes were dark and starry, like the boy who asked her in the moonlight many years ago if she would like him.

Yue Yan's heart skipped a wild beat, and he was about to let himself not think about it, when he heard Gu Yan continue: "I never thought of wanting your life, I want you to live, be a hundred years old, and die well!" ”

I hope you live and live a worry-free life!

No matter how simple a sentence is, it is the most touching confession Yue Yan has ever heard in his life.

Her heart was beating wildly, and her palms were soaked in cold sweat, she looked at Gu Ji with excitement in her heart, and asked word by word: "Ah Li's death, don't you blame me?" ”

"I've never blamed you." I just haven't been able to forgive myself.

After hearing Gu Wei say that she had never blamed herself, Yue Yan burst into tears in an instant, she had waited too long for this result.

She always thought that he had convicted her in his heart, and he would not allow her to plead or refuse.

"That'...... When you asked me, does that sentence still count? ”

Yue Yan asked cautiously, like a scarred rabbit, still trying to get close to a fried hedgehog.

Gu Bing didn't respond, raised his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing an unrecognizable face and empty eye sockets, like the young man who carried the corpse to feed the wolf.

Yue Yan slowly raised his hand, his fingertips trembling uncontrollably, and after a long time, it finally fell gently on the scar on his face.

The soft fingertips walked through the scars inch by inch, and crossed the empty eye sockets, as if he had experienced all the pain and suffering he had endured alone during the five years in Hudi.

"Gu Jiong, you haven't changed, I know, I know!"

Yue Yan was already choked up when he opened his mouth, and when he got to the back, he couldn't cry, and only kept repeating the four words 'I know'.

She really knew, that night she and Chu Huai'an followed Ying Jiang into the illusion, in the illusion, she clearly saw how Gu Li died, how Gu Zhi's eye was gone, and how she spent the five years in Hudi.

The Hu people did not believe him at first and took many prisoners to test him.

Among those captives was Su Li, but Gu Zhi didn't know Su Li at that time, he watched those female slaves being forced by the Hu people to dance on the ice, and then being forced into a desperate situation, and then he chose a female slave, and the female slave died on the animal training ground.

She knew that he had done it on purpose, deliberately to let the slave girl die, so as not to put her through more inhuman torture.

At that time, he had already understood that dying was the easiest thing in the world, and living was the hardest!

He played a big game of chess, designed the Hu people and the Yuanzhao royal family, and paid an unimaginable price for this plan.

He changed his name, disfigured his appearance, and even fell in love with the feeling of killing someone, but no one knew that for every time he killed someone, he would quietly cut himself with a knife.

He had fallen into the boundless purgatory early in the morning, but there was still a trace of sobriety and refused to fall completely.

"Ah Yan, I'm not the same as before, like me, are you still willing to like me?"

Gu Ji asked in a low voice, his voice hoarse, and in a trance, it seemed that he had returned to that night many years ago.

Yue Yan couldn't help crying, and only nodded vigorously.

Willing!

I do!

No matter how young you are, no matter what you become or how many people you kill, I still want to like you.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Zhi's heart was hot, and he lowered his head to cover Yue Yan's lips, and conveyed all the thoughts and restrained love for many years to her in this way.

Yue Yan's response was also enthusiastic, the two of them were like trees and Teng who had been dry for a long time, and suddenly a rain fell, and they immediately became entangled, never wanting to be separated again.

However, this time is obviously not a good time, when the two kissed and forgot themselves, Zhao Hanzhuo knocked on the door very sadly: "Gu Zhi, let's go back to Dali Temple now." ”

The murderer created such a big movement, it is impossible to have no follow-up, and the case must be solved as soon as possible.

Gu Bing stopped, the two of them gasped with their foreheads against their foreheads, their breaths were intertwined, and the atmosphere was too good to be true.

Yue Yan's face was very hot, and after calming down, he was a little afraid to look directly at himself who was responding so eagerly just now, and lowered his eyes embarrassedly to avoid Gu Ji's gaze, and pushed him: "Let's go, Lord Zhao is urging you." ”

Gu Ji didn't move, clasped the back of her head tighter, and pressed against him, as if only in this way could he feel the sense of reality.

"I am pleased with you, will you marry me?"

"What?"

Yue Yan was blinded by this sentence, her eyes widened and she looked innocent, Gu Ji kissed her on the lips again, and said in a dumb voice: "When the case is over, will I marry you?" ”

"Good!"
