Chapter 56: Some Words, Only Said Once
"Oops! Zhang ......"
The beauty next to her suddenly saw Su Li break in, and was so shocked that she wanted to open her mouth to remind her, Su Li took the initiative to grab Zhang Ling's arm, turned around, covered the beauty's mouth, swept it around with her eyes, and signaled others not to speak.
"Shhh...... Beauty, why do you have so much strength? β
Zhang Linghu asked suspiciously, stretched out his hand to uncover the blindfolded silk cloth, but was held down by Su Li's hand.
"Do you want to play something chic today?"
Su Li deliberately asked in a soft voice, Zhang Ling was not familiar with her, she didn't recognize Su Li's voice for a while, her hand touched Su Li's waist, and she only felt that her waist was soft and different from others, and her heart suddenly became acute.
Su Li endured the nausea and didn't slap his hand down, and tore a finger-wide strip of cloth from his sleeve and tied it to Zhang Ling's eyes, and tied it in a dead knot.
"Don't worry, let the others go out, okay?"
Su Li coaxed, Zhang Ling was a little hesitant, he was locked up at home for several days, and he sneaked out today, he wanted to have a good time, what is the point of letting everyone go at this time?
Just thinking about it, Su Li beat him on the chest: "If you want to play, there will be a chance in the future, so it's okay to spoil others alone today!" β
This punch hit Zhang Ling's chest softly and without any strength, and his voice was deliberately coquettish, falling into people's ears, like turning bones, making people crisp their bones.
Chu Huai'an stepped into the room at the end of Su Li's words, and when his eyes turned, he saw Zhang Ling holding Su Li up and down at her, and the corners of his lips were grinning.
Zhang Ling was tickled by Su Li's voice, and promised repeatedly: "Okay, just listen to the beauty, everyone else will go out for me!" β
After speaking, he pouted and approached to kiss Fang Ze, Chu Huai'an's hand was inserted in the air, and Zhang Ling's lips fell on the back of his hand, and he pouted hard, making a shameful sound.
After kissing, Zhang Ling didn't notice anything wrong, and the monkey asked anxiously: "Beauty, didn't you say you wanted to play something chic?" Why don't you show me yet! β
"Okay!"
Su Li replied coldly, raised her hand and lifted the tablecloth to cover Zhang Ling's body, and kicked him to the ground.
"Ahh Who? Dare to beat Lao Tzu! β
Zhang Ling fell to the ground and exclaimed, the little guy guarding the door wanted to come in, Chu Huaian turned around and closed the door, and the two of them were directly hit by the door and their faces were covered with blood.
Su Li punched and kicked unceremoniously, today is only the third year of junior high school, this person is still locked up and dares to sneak out, it can be seen how arrogant he is on weekdays, thinking of what Green Sleeves said he did to Su Zhaoyue before, Su Li fought even more ruthlessly.
However, just after a few punches, his wrist was clasped by Chu Huai'an, Su Li raised his head and his eyes were red, and he was about to get angry, Chu Huai'an picked up a stool next to him and called Zhang Ling.
The stool shattered with a bang, the wood slag splashed everywhere, and I don't know where it hit, Zhang Ling snorted and lost his voice.
Chu Huai'an squatted down and tied the tablecloth in a dead knot, then threw the person on the bed, opened the door, and the two little guys covered their noses and looked at Chu Huai'an in disbelief, but they didn't dare to break in directly.
Chu Huai'an threw two silver nudes to the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Did you see what happened just now?" β
The two of them were stunned for a moment, but when they saw Chu Huai'an's face sank, they immediately shook their heads in unison: "No...... No, the young master came to drink flower wine, and we have been guarding the door. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the old bustard, who had noticed the movement here in the morning, walked over with his hips, Chu Huai'an didn't talk nonsense, and threw her a gold ingot: "You are not the first day to open the door to do business, how to deal with it without me to explain, right?" β
The old bustard blossomed, shook his handkerchief and said, "Ouch, I know, I know!" After speaking, he leaned over to Chu Huai'an's side and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Is Master Hou still enjoying the fight?" If it's not enjoyable, how many more kicks will the slave family help Hou Ye make? β
Zhang Ling's status is not as good as Chu Huai'an, he comes to the cabinet on weekdays, although he is generous, he can be angry, and there are some unknown habits, he comes back, the girl who ordered it almost has to lie in bed for half a month, and the bustard earns that little money to treat the girl, so he is naturally dissatisfied with Zhang Ling's 10,000.
"What's not so enjoyable? Didn't Benhou come to see the Oiran today? β
Chu Huai'an asked with an innocent face, and the old bustard immediately echoed with kindness, Chu Huai'an didn't have anything else to explain, and pulled Su Li back to the room just now, the Oiran was fidgeting, and when he saw them, he immediately stood up, his eyes were red, and there were faint tears flashing.
"What are you excited about, sit!"
Chu Huai'an said casually, pressed Su Li on the stool and sat down, frowned and lifted the gauze on her hand to take a look, the wound healed very well, the action just now was so violent, it was only a little cracked, oozing blood beads, and it didn't stop bleeding like before.
"Slave...... There is medicine in the slave family, which can be used by the son! Oiran stammered, blushed after speaking, and lowered her head again: "The slave and maid have exceeded the rules, please punish the Hou Ye!" β
"It's okay, I'm tired of the girl, give me the medicine."
Su Li spoke softly and smiled at the Oiran.
The medicine in this kind of place is not expensive, but the effect is excellent, after all, the girls in the pavilion are cheap, and no matter how seriously they are injured, the bustard will also think of ways to let them get better as soon as possible.
With Su Li's permission, Oiran was a little flattered, and quickly turned around and took out a small bottle of ointment from the cabinet.
The ointment also had the smell of worldly fat powder, and it was so greasy that Su Li raised her hand to take it, without showing any disgust, she unscrewed the cork and dug a lump and smeared it on the wound.
When the ointment touched the wound, it was slightly cool at first, and soon it burned hot, like applying a layer of chili water to the wound, but it did not sting.
Su Li's face did not change color, and he had to apply it again, Chu Huai'an snatched the medicine bottle: "Paint everything on your hands, has the master approved it?" β
He whispered, put the medicine bottle to the tip of his nose and smelled it, the smell was not like the ointment of the Tai Hospital, which was always fragrant, slightly pungent, but it was still within the range of what he could accept.
"This ointment is very ...... It's very effective, and it also removes scars, I ...... I've used it. β
Oiran explained in a low voice, her eyes flashing eagerly, for fear that Chu Huai'an would misunderstand her.
Her temperament is incompatible with the land of wind and dust.
Chu Huai'an threw the medicine bottle back to Su Li, raised his hand to help her remove the gauze, and asked, "How did you get here?" β
As soon as the words fell, the Oiran immediately knelt in front of Chu Huai'an with a 'poof': "The people's daughter begs the Hou Ye to save the people's daughter!" β
Oiran said that big tears rolled down from her beautiful eyes, Chu Huai'an dug up a lump of ointment, applied a thick layer of ointment to Su Li's wound, and wrapped the gauze again, his movements were elegant and gentle, and he didn't mean to pity Xiangyu and help Oiran up.
After tying the gauze with a bow, he looked at the Oiran lazily and laughed lowly: "Lord is here to have fun, if you want to complain, you should go to Jingzhaoyin to beat the drum, if the grievance is really serious, you can go to the palace gate to sue the royal court, there is a way." β
There was a smile in his tone, but the expression on his face was indifferent, as if he was not interested in the tragic story of the Oiran, and even less wanted to meddle with it.
Oiran was stunned by his indifferent attitude, and looked at Chu Huai'an stupidly with tears in his eyes and blurted out: "The sister in the pavilion said that Hou Ye is kind-hearted, and they only drink and chat when they order them on weekdays, and never do side things, Hou Ye is a good person!" β
Chu Huai'an: "......"
Su Li: "......"
For the first time in his life, the great demon king of the mixed world, who was famous in Kyoto, was praised as a good person, and he had some mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
Hearing with his own ears that the Great Demon King of the Mixed World did not turn the phoenix upside down when he went to Goolan Courtyard, he only drank and chatted, and Su Li was not affected by it, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was taken for granted, this person had a noble status, and he didn't look down on the dusty woman, and besides, he had a heart, and others couldn't get into his eyes.
It's just that Su Li didn't expect that he would be so affectionate that he would 'guard himself like jade' for a person.
Su Li silently digested what she had just heard, and Chu Huai'an also reacted from the mixed tastes, and deliberately retorted coldly with a stiff face: "Joke, there is nothing hidden that cannot be spoken, how can you not do things when you come here?" β
He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said this, Su Li and the Oiran both looked at his waist and abdomen, Chu Huai'an stiffened, and turned his head and glared at Su Li viciously: "What do you see?" Want to check your grandfather's body? β
He seemed to be annoyed and angry, Su Li remembered the scene where he pressed himself under him two days ago, shook his head decisively, and praised against his will: "Hou Ye is young and vigorous, he must be heroic, and the golden gun will not fall!" β
This sycophant can be seen by everyone, Chu Huaian rolled his eyes: "It's better than your dead ghost!" β
Su Li: "......"
Su Li lowered her head and stopped continuing this boring topic, Chu Huai'an set his eyes on the Oiran again, the Oiran lowered her head, tears kept falling, knowing that today was her only chance, she gritted her teeth and said: "Master Hou, the people's daughter Wenling was originally a woman from a good family, and her fiancΓ© moved her family to Beijing a few days ago, and after settling down, he sent someone to take the people's daughter from his hometown to Beijing, and he wanted to marry the people's daughter soon, but he didn't expect to stay in a black shop on the way, and after waking up, he was locked up in the basement of this Goolan Courtyard. β
Speaking of this, Wen Ling's emotions became excited, and his body trembled, thinking that he had been treated inhumanely here.
"The folk girl has not lost her body yet, but her body has been looked at, and she is no longer worthy of her fiancΓ©, even so, the folk girl does not want to survive in this pickled place, and begs the Hou Ye to take the folk girl out of here, and after the folk girl and her fiancΓ© dissolve the marriage contract, she will be a cow and a horse to repay the Hou Ye!"
The woman said these words loudly, looking cowardly, but in her bones she was extremely chaste and arrogant.
"When a cow is a horse? Ben Hou doesn't lack one of you, what if Ben Hou doesn't take you away today? β
"When the Hou Ye stepped out of this door, the folk girl hit the pillar and died!"
Wen Ling said resolutely, with the determination to die in his eyes, like holding two torches.
Inexplicably, Su Li thought of her helpless self five years ago, when she never thought of dying, but Su Liangxing and the Zhao family wanted her to die.
She is the laughing stock of the Su family in the mouths of outsiders, when the body is destroyed by the sinking pond, it is best for no one to remember that there is her as a person.
Anger welled up in her chest, Su Li clenched her fists and involuntarily spoke: "It's not your fault, why do you want to die?" β
Trying her best to restrain herself, her voice was terrifyingly calm, Wen Ling looked up at Su Li in surprise, and heard her say again: "Even if you want to die, you should first let the person who harmed you confess and be punished!" β
Wen Ling was so shocked by Su Li that she couldn't speak, Su Li got up and walked in front of her, and calmly analyzed: "According to what you said, the black shop and this Goolan Courtyard must be secretly colluding, is the black shop owner used to doing human flesh trading, or is the shopkeeper a tool for this Goolan Courtyard to kidnap the woman of the good family?" As long as you check carefully, you can always find it. β
Her eyes glowed with coldness, extremely powerful but not aggressive, but gave people a sense of security and calmed down.
Wen Ling looked at Su Li in a daze, and from the bottom of her clear eyes, she seemed to see that she was locked in the basement where she did not see the light of day, being trained and tortured by ugly-looking men, that scene was a nightmare that she had lingered for a long time, but now it seemed to have a strange fatal attraction.
"You're not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of asking them for your life?"
Su Li bewitched in her ear, Wen Ling trembled more and more, but not because she was afraid, but extremely excited, she looked at Su Li directly, her heart was full of expectation: "Childe can help me take revenge?" β
Su Li lowered her eyes, hiding the surging emotions at the bottom of her eyes, and when she looked back at Chu Huai'an, she returned to her usual cold and obedient appearance: "In this matter, the Hou Ye has the final say." β
Wen Ling is not a fool, she can find a way to get close to Chu Huai'an and plead with him, so she can naturally understand what Su Li means, and immediately kowtowed three times towards Chu Huai'an.
"As long as Hou Ye helps me find out who is behind the scenes, no matter what Hou Ye wants to do, the people are willing to do it for Hou Ye!"
When the words fell, she raised her head, and a red and swollen appeared on her fair forehead, as if she would break the skin and gush blood at any time, which showed how firm her heart was.
Chu Huai'an glanced at Su Li with complicated eyes, he had thought of a lot of benefits and was ready to buy Wen Ling, but he didn't expect Su Li to subdue the people's hearts in just a few words, and he also guessed that he wanted to use Wen Ling to do things.
He knew that Su Li was smart, and he knew that he was good at speculating on the minds of others, but he didn't know that she was so smart.
Like a roundworm in his stomach, as long as he is sleepy, he can hand a soft pillow.
Chu Huai'an couldn't say how he felt now, but faintly found that the distance between him and Su Li was so far that he couldn't see what kind of person the people around him were.
Such thoughts were suppressed after only a spin in his mind, and Chu Huai'an still said to Wen Ling according to his original thoughts: "What you just said, Ben Hou can agree to you, but Ben Hou wants you to continue to stay here!" β
"......"
"Don't worry, Benhou will take care of it properly and won't let you pick up customers."
"What news do you want me to hear here?" Wen Ling immediately knew that this Goolan Courtyard was the most decadent and dirty, but it was the most secret place.
"It's nothing special, you can first check the relationship between this Goolan Courtyard and the black shop for yourself."
Chu Huai'an said casually, this matter sounded like it was beneficial to Wen Ling and harmless, like a pie smashed in the sky, someone lit a lamp for her, pointed the way, and just stuffed the sword into her hand and asked her to take revenge.
"That'...... What about after finding out? β
Wen Ling asked tentatively, since she asked Chu Huai'an, she had already given him this life, even if Chu Huai'an wanted her to stay here until she died, she didn't say anything.
"The rest is up to you, when you want to go away or hang yourself by hanging a beam, Ben Hou will not stop you."
ββ¦β¦β
Wen Ling was shocked, but after a while, he reacted again, and kowtowed to Chu Huai'an again: "Wenling Xie Hou Ye, great kindness, toothless and unforgettable!" β
After the matter was negotiated, Chu Huai'an returned to his usual bohemian image, raised his foot and kicked Wen Ling's shoulder: "Okay, change your clothes, and take you out for a walk." β
"Yes!"
Wen Ling got up and went to the inner room to change clothes, Chu Huai'an propped his head and looked at Su Li, his eyes were inquiring, but he never asked anything.
After a while, Wen Ling changed into a rose-red gauze skirt and came out, the women in the pavilion usually wear such light and thin clothes, she couldn't find any thick clothes, only wore a cloak of the same color outside, she just cried, she put on some makeup, and put on a veil, she could vaguely see that her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she looked more cute than before.
Chu Huai'an snapped his fingers, got up and walked out of the door, Su Li's chin was slightly raised, and Wen Ling was motioned to follow, and he walked last.
As soon as he went out, the old bustard pounced again: "Master Hou, are you still having fun?" β
Chu Huai'an didn't speak, and directly threw a silver nude, the old bustard smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and when he saw Wen Ling's outfit, he immediately sank his face, and asked angrily: "Ling'er, what are you dressed like this?" β
Wen Ling was still afraid, moved behind Chu Huai'an, and whispered: "Hou ...... Master Hou said take me out for a walk! β
"You cheap hoof, if you get a little favor from the Hou Ye, you will be lawless? Dare to pester Hou Ye to go out for a walk, what identity does Hou Ye have, can he take you out to be embarrassed? β
The old bustard's mouth was very sharp, and he pushed the fault on Wen Ling in three or two sentences, and was about to hit someone after he raised his hand, Su Li stepped forward and easily grabbed her wrist.
"Miss Fang Cai Ling'er is very satisfied with the waiting, the Hou Ye wants to take her out for a walk, do you have any opinions?"
Su Li's strength is not big or small, but the old bustard can't break free, her face is fluttered with heavy fat powder, her eyes are eagerly rolled around, and after a while, she tears off her smiling face: "Hou Ye likes the blessing that the slave family can't ask for thousands of knees, but there are rules in the pavilion, and the Oiran who has just broken her body has to rest in the pavilion for three days, this rule is ......"
"The rules are dead, people are alive, here she has to recuperate for three days, so go back to the Marquis of Xiaoyao Mansion with Benhou to recuperate for three days without delaying the transaction, right?"
Chu Huai'an opened his mouth to interrupt the bustard's words, and gently picked up Wen Ling's chin with a folding fan: "Ling'er thinks it's good?" β
He took out the frivolous ruffian that usually flirted with the girl, which was completely different from before, the gaze was explicit and ambiguous, which instantly made Wen Ling blush, and his eyes showed confusion, and only followed his question: "Ling'er thinks it's very good!" β
The voice is soft and timid, but it is a perfect interpretation of a scene where Lang has a concubine intended.
The old bustard was also shocked by Chu Huai'an, what was Chu Huai'an like in Lanyue Pavilion all these years, could she count it in her heart?
For so many years, there has been no one in the pavilion who can enter his eyes, and the person who has inherited his rain and dew, and now he suddenly cares so much about a person, and he has to take it home, which is too abnormal.
But since Chu Huai'an personally asked for it, the old bustard couldn't stop him and not let him go, so he could only smile and say, "It's good if Master Hou likes it." After speaking, he slapped Wen Ling's buttocks hard with his backhand: "When you arrive at the Hou Mansion, you will serve the Hou Ye, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, be careful of your head!" β
After the warning, the old bustard nodded and sent the three out of the door, and the guys in the pavilion also thoughtfully prepared the carriage.
After the three of them got into the carriage and left, the old bustard returned to the pavilion with a heavy face, and casually beckoned a guy to his side and whispered: "Go back immediately and tell the young master that the Hou Ye has brought a girl from us to leave." β
After listening to the man, the figure quickly flashed into the backyard and disappeared, and the old bustard looked at the door where people came and went, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and always felt that there was no sign of spring warming up after the end of the year, but it was getting colder and colder.
It is said that Chu Huai'an and the three of them took the carriage back to the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw that the people who came to give gifts were persuaded by the housekeeper to speak softly.
The man hung his head and thought he was going to be disappointed, but when he saw Chu Huai'an coming back, he immediately ran over to salute him excitedly: "Xiaguan to meet Master Hou!" β
This person looked no more than in his early forties, wearing a light gray official uniform, a square black gauze hat on his head, and a black jade inlaid in the middle of the brim, refracting the light, and the color was medium and upper.
In the past few days, there have been many people who have come to visit the Hou Mansion, but this person is the first to put on all the official uniforms and hats.
"Huh? ...... are you" Chu Huaian was puzzled, stretched out his hand to help the person up, looked at this person's old face for a long time, and finally suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Li Yong and Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time!" β
Chu Huai'an's sentence that he hadn't seen him for a long time was just polite, but Li Yong took it seriously and said seriously: "Hou Ye has every opportunity, and he can't be idle these days, and the lower officials can only return to Beijing in these few days, so it is difficult to meet Hou Ye." β
"It's okay, Master Li is not in Kyoto, but Ling Xun and Ben Hou are very good friends, and half an hour ago, Ling Hao also bought an Oiran and gave it to Ben Hou!"
Chu Huai'an didn't mind telling Fang Cai's matter, it was more like showing off, and the housekeeper who was guarding the back twitched his old face when he heard it, it was only the third year of junior high school that he went to go to Goolan Courtyard, it was really unusual!
The old housekeeper still has a sense of courtesy, righteousness and shame, but Li Yong has nothing at all, and laughs quite gratifyingly: "That's right, what does Hou Ye like, just tell the dog, the next official will let the dog think of it for Hou Ye!" β
"That's nature!"
Chu Huai'an patted Li Yong's shoulder as he spoke, Li Yong seemed to have received some great reward, his face was flushed, he shook his head, and pulled Chu Huai'an to talk like a homely chatter, Chu Huai'an was not annoyed, hooked his lips and listened, but until Li Yong said that his mouth was dry, he didn't let him enter the house to drink a sip of tea.
After saying that a dog gave birth to seven puppies at the end of the year at the back gate of the county government, Li Yong finally had nothing to say, seeing that Chu Huai'an was still the same smiling appearance, Li Yong patted his head, and took out a small wooden box carved by Huanghuali from his sleeve pocket, the wooden box is not long, it is quite like a hairpin hairpin.
"These are filial piety to the Hou Ye, and please accept the Hou Ye with a smile!"
Li Yong said flatteringly, a trace of pain flashed in his cloudy eyes, but Chu Huaian didn't react, this small wooden box is not exquisite in terms of materials or workmanship, and it is not very good to think about it.
Thinking like this, Chu Huai'an opened the wooden box directly in front of Li Yong, and what was surprising was that it contained a thick roll of silver tickets.
The denomination of the silver ticket is not yet known, but the thickness alone is not a small amount.
Seeing that it was a silver ticket, Chu Huai'an glanced at Li Yong, Li Yong thought he liked it, and immediately waved his hand and said: "A little heart, not respect, the right should be a congratulatory gift to congratulate the Hou Ye on taking over as the envoy of Zhao's injustice!" β
A seven-grade county official, the monthly salary is only a few dozen taels, and the annual salary is only a few hundred taels, and the Li Gongzi who just bid for Wenling's veil in Lanyue Pavilion is five hundred taels, and the silver ticket in this wooden box is worth a thousand taels, and the father and son both feel that it is just a little careful.
Su Li was shocked in her heart, but she didn't show it at all, Chu Huai'an closed the wooden box, and finally showed a knowing smile on her face: "Lord Li is a good ruler, and his political achievements last year must have been very beautiful, right?" β
Chu Huai'an said with a bit of appreciation, Li Yong immediately fluttered, and replied with a smile: "Where is it, Hou Ye has a good reputation." β
"Lord Li doesn't have to be humble, Ben Hou will go to the court in a few days and recommend him to the emperor's cousin, I don't know what position Lord Li wants?" Chu Huai'an asked with a smile, his face was sincere, but poor Lord Li was not familiar with him, and he was easily deceived by his skin, and he gave out all his hole cards.
"Don't worry about the Hou Ye, Your Majesty is wise, the lower officials are dedicated to the people, Your Majesty knows it in his heart, and he will transfer the ministers to Beijing in the near future, and he will be able to meet with the Hou Ye from time to time."
This means that he has been sure that he will be promoted soon, Li Yong said with a yearning expression, as if he had seen the scene of himself and Chu Huai'an standing on the court together.
"Then Hou Ben congratulates Master Li first!"
Chu Huai'an said goodbye, Li Yong talked to Chu Huai'an for a long time before he climbed into the carriage and left, and as soon as he left, Chu Huai'an sank his face and threw the wooden box containing the silver ticket to Su Li: "Keep it safe!" β
After speaking, he strode in, the housekeeper set his eyes on Su Li, and silently asked who Wen Ling was, Su Li didn't say anything, put away the wooden box and took Wen Ling back to his yard, and found a set of women's clothes from the wardrobe for her to change into.
Changing her clothes, Wen Ling's eyes were red, although she came out of Lanyue Pavilion, she still wore bells on her hands and feet, this bell was fun when picking up guests, but it was also a warning bell to prevent the girl who had just entered the pavilion and refused to accept her fate from escaping.
The bell is specially made and is difficult to remove without a key.
Su Li found cotton wool and stuffed it into the bell, blocking the sound, Wen Ling gritted his teeth and wanted to kneel down again, but was supported by Su Li.
"It's Master Hou who is helping you, what am I doing when Miss Wen kneels?"
"I was bent on dying, but the girl's words gave me the courage to live, and I thank the girl for her grace in rebuilding!"
Entering this house, Wen Ling has recognized that Su Li is a woman, and now this thank you is also real and there is no half of fraud, but Su Li refuses to accept it and helps her up: "I said that, and trapped Miss Wen in that pickled ground again, and I can't afford to be Miss Wen's thanks." β
"The girl just pointed me the way, and it was I who made the choice, not to mention the calculation, and I should be thankful!"
Su Li didn't let her kneel, Wen Ling changed to bowing, and couldn't stop it, Su Li also suffered, seeing her so righteous, she couldn't help but whisper: "You haven't lost your body, if your fiancΓ© treats you sincerely, he shouldn't mind this matter, why don't you ......"
"No, although I haven't lost my body, but my body has been seen and touched, even if he doesn't mind, I can't act as if nothing happened, and when the revenge is avenged, I will find a nunnery to be a sister-in-law!"
Wen Ling said that after this experience, his temperament was tougher than that of Fang Cai in Lanyue Pavilion.
She insisted on this, and Su Li did not continue to persuade her, and took her to Chu Huai'an's yard, where the coachman was already waiting in the house.
"Now that you know where your fiancΓ© lives, you have found him in the past three days and dealt with everything he wants to say and do, which can be regarded as a wish."
"Master Xie!"
Wen Lingfu saluted and left with the coachman, the room was quiet, and Chu Huai'an stared at Su Li as if he had just been in Lanyue Pavilion.
Su Li stood with her eyes down, pretending not to feel the inquiry in his gaze.
After a long time, Chu Huai'an finally spoke: "If you are her, how should you retaliate?" β
What he assumed was what Su Li would do if he was in the position of Wenling.
When Su Li stirred Wen Ling just now, it was not all about calculating Wen Ling, how many of them belonged to her own emotions, Chu Huai'an was very clear.
"If I were her, I should find out the relationship between the black shop and Lanyue Pavilion, find out the owner of the black shop, the people who humiliated me, and the people behind the scenes, and cut them with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Su Li's tone was calm, like an outsider talking about someone else's business, and like an extremely indifferent party, talking about the revenge that he would definitely practice.
"If you have such a backbone, why did you run away from the desert five years ago and not cut those people to make soup?"
Chu Huai'an asked, his gaze swept over Su Li's face inch by inch, refusing to let go of the slightest change.
What Su Li just said was very much in line with her black and white character, so Chu Huaian couldn't understand why she secretly ran away five years ago.
ββ¦β¦ At that time, he was young and timid, so he didn't dare to kill, so he had to flee. β
Su Li was silent for a while and replied, not wanting to mention more, Chu Huai'an frowned, knowing that she didn't tell the truth, hesitated for a moment and said: "Five years ago, I checked some later, those bandits went into the city to Lanyue Pavilion to have fun that day, they played late, and when they went out of the city, they found that you were in the land temple outside the city, so they would kidnap you, it was late at that time, how could you appear there?" β
Su Li has been gone for five years, and these questions have been buried in his heart for five years, when he entered the bandits' den, what he wanted was an answer, but he didn't expect those bandits to tie up the three people who committed the crime in advance in order to calm his anger and cut off their heads.
The perpetrator is dead, if you want to know the truth, you can only ask Su Li, the party, but those old things are always painful to recall, so Su Li has been back in Beijing for so long, Chu Huaian has been holding back and not asking, if he hadn't seen Su Li's words so decisive today, he wouldn't have asked so bluntly.
"Master Hou really wants to know the truth?" Su Li asked rhetorically, but did not rush to answer, Chu Huai'an frowned, and before he could speak, he heard Su Li ask one after another: "No matter what I say, Master Hou believes me?" β
The countless dreams that appeared flooded into her mind again, Su Li cried patheticly, looked at him in despair and asked: Why don't you believe me?
There was a tingling pain in his temples, Chu Huaian raised his hand to press the bulging temples, and an uncomfortable muffled snort overflowed from the tip of his nose.
When did he not believe her?
didn't get an answer, and knew that there would be no answer, Su Li turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as her hand touched the door frame, a tall body came up from behind, hugged her by the waist, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear panting heavily: "I don't believe it, won't you say it?" β
Su Li's breathing was not chaotic, and her eyes were clear.
"I said, you don't believe it, why should I say it again? Besides, if Master Hou really wants to know something, and some of them are known, why bother to find out from my mouth? β
"I was drunk five years ago, I don't remember what you and I said, I can't count if I don't remember, can't you say it again?"
"Can't count if you don't remember?" Su Li asked and turned to look at Chu Huai'an, he was still holding it tightly, so tight that Su Li's softness felt his hard chest through his winter clothes.
His expression was eager, his eyes were a little flustered, and he wanted to answer Su Li's question, so he opened his mouth, but was easily dispersed by Su Li: "Master Hou doesn't remember that he said that I was dirty to death after being drunk, but I remember these three words clearly!" β
It's dirty!
This is what he said to Su Li?
Such sharp words came out of his mouth?
Chu Huai'an was impacted, holding Su Li's hand couldn't help but lose strength, Su Li raised his hand to push him away, took two steps back, and slowly tidied up his clothes, calmly and calmly.
"Master Hou, there are some things that are said, I won't pretend not to hear them because you're drunk, I don't remember, I said the truth five years ago, I said it once, I won't say it a second time, besides, it's been so long, whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore."
She said that whether he believed it or not didn't matter to her anymore, but it was as if she was saying that he was no longer important to her.
So what's important to you?
Chu Huaian wanted to ask, but when the words came to his mouth, he choked in his throat.
Su Li returned to Beijing to help Lu Ji get rid of his crimes, and there is a child between them, and what she values now is self-evident.
Struggling to swallow the knot in his throat, he lowered his voice to confirm, "When I was drunk, did I really say such a bastard thing to you?" Didn't you say that day there was nothing important? β
"It's not good for you and me to turn over these old accounts, if it weren't for the Hou Ye insisting on asking, I wouldn't want to recall these again."
Those memories are like rotten old wounds to her, not fatal, but they still bleed and hurt when poked.
She has always been resolute, like when she left five years ago, she didn't even leave a word, and now that she is back, she doesn't want to mention those old things, so she doesn't say a word in front of Chu Huai'an.
She was right, Chu Huai'an had many ways to find out the truth five years ago, but five years ago, someone deliberately cleaned up the traces and whitewashed the peace, he didn't think that he would be as entangled in the original truth as he is now, so he was easily confused, but now he thinks about it, but now he is full of doubts.
"You're right, there is nothing in this world that you want to know but can't know!"
Chu Huai'an's tone became pleasant, he looked at Su Li directly, his eyes lit up fiercely, and he declared word by word: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out what has happened in the past five years, clearly!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Su Li's expression was a little broken, listening to the meaning of this person's words, in addition to the truth five years ago, he even wanted to investigate all the things she had done in Saibei in the past five years? Where is he going to start?
Su Li was stunned, Chu Huai'an returned to normal, and hugged her out again, this time the housekeeper prepared the carriage, and after getting into the car, Chu Huai'an directly ordered: "Go to the Military Intelligence Department!" β
There was also a stove in the carriage, Chu Huaian stuffed one into Su Li's hand, and sat in the corner with one in his arms, not knowing who was sulking.
It was nearly evening, there were not many people on the street, and the carriage was moving very fast, and it was not long before the government of the military intelligence department came into view.
The government office is newly repaired, and the lintel at the gate is still supported with unfading red cloth, and two tall guards with knives are guarding the door.
"Xiaguan meets Master Hou!"
The guards saluted, Chu Huaian didn't say anything, and walked straight in with Su Li.
He walked in a hurry, his clothes flying in the air, as if he couldn't wait to find a place to vent his emotions, and Su Li had to trot to catch up with him.
Today is only the third day of the new year, many people have not returned from rest, and the military intelligence department is still a little deserted, and after walking in several times, a cold and familiar figure suddenly comes into view.
"Lord Zhao?"
Su Li let out a low snort, Chu Huai'an stopped, and looked at Zhao Hanzhuo who was walking slowly with a bamboo slip from a distance of ten steps, Zhao Hanzhuo's face was as usual, followed by An Jue and Zhao Qi with gloomy faces.
Seeing Chu Huai'an, Zhao Hanzhuo raised his eyebrows, still following his own pace, and when he came to him, he bowed to Chu Huai'an: "I've seen Master Hou." β
After speaking, he stepped aside, and there was no meaning of greeting, just to get out of the way and let Chu Huai'an pass.
Su Li: "......"
Lord Zhao, did you talk so little? It's a little different from the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet.
Su Li's stomach was slandered, and Chu Huai'an naturally thought of Zhao Hanzhuo's performance at the palace banquet, but he didn't stab him, but just looked at the bamboo slip in his hand: "Lord Zhao came to the Military Intelligence Department to borrow literature?" β
"Exactly, Master Gu and Miss Su's literary examination case is widely implicated, and the lower officials must be cautious and dare not make conclusions."
Su Li: "......"
Chu Huai'an: "......"
An Jue: "......"
In terms of the kung fu of opening your eyes and talking nonsense, if you call it second, Lord Zhao, I'm afraid no one will dare to call it first.
Several people complained in their hearts, but Zhao Hanzhuo's face did not change, and he turned to Su Li very seriously and said: "Miss Su, this case is still under investigation, if this official encounters anything suspicious, please cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case." β
"Lord Zhao is in need, and the people should fully cooperate!"
Su Li responded with her hand, An Jue's eyes were about to turn to the sky, and she just wanted to send away Zhao Hanzhuo, the black Yama.
Fortunately, Zhao Hanzhuo is not a person like Li Yong who talks a lot and likes to rely on not leaving, took what he wanted, and did his due courtesy, Zhao Hanzhuo waved his sleeves and left with the bamboo slips.
An Jue didn't send anyone out of the gate, and cheered up to deal with Chu Huai'an: "I don't know what happened when Master Hou came to the military intelligence department today?" β
He was a little bottomless in his heart, he didn't get any benefits from Su Li in the imperial mausoleum that day, and he was kicked twice and lost face, if Chu Huai'an still wants to use that matter to play today, he is also unreasonable.
An Jue was quickly thinking about how to deal with it in his mind, but he heard Chu Huai'an say lightly: "It's not a big deal, Ben Hou is here to ask An Zhuwei today!" β
