Recalling the superstitious activities in Japan, the ninja couldn't help but laugh. )

Although Japan has entered the Meiji Restoration, superstitious things are not much less than those of the Qianguo.

"Let's go! Inform the Lord of the good news in time! The ninja said.

Kirikuin Takeemon nodded, and the two got up from their hiding place and disappeared into the forest without a sound.

Fuzhou, Hunan Hall.

"How's the news going?"

Zuo Jigao looked at the few relatives in front of him who were hanging their heads, and asked in a deep voice.

Several relatives looked at each other and hesitated for a while, and the last older one said boldly: "If you go back to the big handsome, Lao Bai and Lao Le and a few of them are already in prison...... He's dead. ”

"Dead?" When Zuo Jigao first heard the news, he was shocked at first, but he quickly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The cell boss of Fuzhou Mansion seems to be very good at handling things, and he knows that this matter is implicated and difficult to handle, so he uses such a method, right?

"Isn't it only Master Kong who died? Although the four of them were injured, their bodies had always been strong and they had no dark diseases, how could they die so quickly? It must be a good thing to do in prison! I can't spare them! Zuo Jigao said angrily.

"Back to Dashuai, Lao Bai and a few of them were seriously injured, and they were all bone injuries, but the gang of people in the prison thought Lao Bai and them ...... They slandered the auspicious Rui of Fuzhou because they deliberately embarrassed them in Fuzhou, and they did not give them medicine to treat, and they ...... It's for the painful to die! A personal attendant was obviously moved by Zuo Jigao's angry words, and said to Zuo Jigao with a crying voice.

"It's a pity that before they died, they were still shouting, 'Zuo Gong save me......,'" another relative cried.

Hear this sentence. Zuo Jigao secretly cursed in his heart. But the performance is still angry. "These dog thieves! I can't spare them! I'm going to give the court a fold! I want to join their Lin family! Participate in Fuzhou Mansion! Punish them for their sins! ”

Hearing Zuo Jigao say that he wanted to go to the fold, several relatives and his entourage were grateful, thinking that the revenge of several companions could be avenged, but they didn't know that Zuo Jigao's heart was rejoicing in the death of these four people.

Although they still leaked the news before they died, they did not specify their names after all, and there was no evidence for them. Now that there is no proof of death, his Zuo Jigao's heart that has been hanging can finally be put down.

Otherwise, if you provoke the people of Fuzhou who love to hold together, you will be in trouble.

But no matter what, this matter can't be finished like this, he Zuo Jigao must fight back, first, to give an explanation to a few dead subordinates, and second, he still has to take out a bad breath in his chest!

Since he was born in Zuo Jigao, it is the first time he has been so angry!

Zuo Jigao immediately called the scholar. Spread the paper and polish the ink, and began to prepare the draft.

In this compromise. Zuo Jigao impeached the Fuzhou Lin clan for pretending to be a god and playing tricks with "absurd" auspiciousness to fool the officials and people of Fuzhou, "stirring up a popular uprising", "insulting the scholars and good people", and "causing injuries to people", pointing out that if this kind of deception of the imperial court is allowed to "spread into a common practice," the imperial court "will definitely be in danger of exhaustion," and elevated the political impact of this incident to the point of threatening the society of the country, so as to increase the pressure on the imperial court.

Zuo Jigao used a curved pen in this excerpt, he did not write down the names and identities of the people killed, the purpose was to test the attitude of the imperial court, if the imperial court really decided the guilt of the Lin clan and the Fuzhou officials, he said that these people were actually his own master and his entourage, if the imperial court did not want to make a big deal of it, then he would not mention these people again, just to clear up their relationship with himself.

After Zuo Jigao finished writing the excerpt, he read it carefully several times and was very satisfied, so he took out the blank notebook and wrote the formal excerpt. His wishful thinking can be described as loud, but he didn't expect what kind of results this twist and turn would bring to himself.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The fragrant soup is fragrant, and the curtain is low. Li Sizhu took the snow-white ramie robe resting on the screen, wrapped himself and came out, while pulling up a waist-length wet hair and wringing it out.

When I came out of the hall, I saw flowers and trees supporting each other, and only the green parrot was napping on the shelf with its head tilted.

Under the flickering candlelight, Li Sizhu finished washing quietly alone, slowly combing his hair with a horn comb, suddenly sighed, took off a few hairs wrapped around the comb, and put them in front of his eyes to look carefully. She picked up the small mirror and looked at her face to see if there were already marks in the corners of her eyes.

It was a small mirror no more than four inches wide, oval-shaped, bronze and gold, and the back was inlaid with filigree with the pattern of a lotus flower, intricate and gorgeous, lifelike - perhaps, the name "flower mirror" came from this. The mirror button behind the back is coiled like a dragon, and the button is decorated with persimmon-shaped patterns.

This mirror looks old, soaked with a faint luster of time. Although it is small, it exudes an indescribable cold and soft light, and for a time it actually dimmed the candlelight in the room. In the dim candlelight, Li Sizhu looked at the mirror and his appearance in the mirror, and suddenly, there was a trance smile on the corner of his lips.

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. And how many years have it been since you came to this world? Li Sizhu smiled at himself in the mirror, but the tear mole in the corner of his eye made that smile look sad.

The candlelight was dim, however, the woman in white, who was looking at herself in the mirror under the lamp, suddenly shook her hands, as if she saw something in the mirror, and looked back behind her—the room was empty, and only the green parrots on the shelves were tilting their heads and dozing under the flowers and trees in the room.

This green parrot that can only talk was bought by Chen Wan to relieve her boredom when she and Chen Wan were shopping together.

She remembered that there was such a parrot in her mother's room back then, but the coat color was pure white.

"Mother...... Mother ......" looked at the green parrot for a while, Li Sizhu turned his head and looked down at the mirror, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh with emotion, stretched out his hand, and touched the mirror-

Li Sizhu's face was reflected in the candlelight in the mirror. And everything in the room. And...... Behind her shoulders was a beautiful woman leaning on her shoulders among the flowers and trees, tilting her head and sleeping quietly.

A foreign woman in a long white dress.

"Mother......" Li Sizhu stared into the mirror. Whispered softly. Suddenly, her tears fell.

Early in the morning, Li Sizhu got up early to wash, took the door and prepared to go out.

There was a "poof" sound, and before the door was closed, a green shadow suddenly flashed in the crack of the door, and the green parrot named Lu'er broke out, but Li Sizhu couldn't stop it. Caught its tail feathers, causing the birds to scream.

"Lu'er, don't come out!" Li Sizhu frowned, let go of the hand that slid the door, and said, "Keep it well!" ”

However, the green parrot stared at the little black bean-like eyes unconvinced, grunted, and its tail feathers trembled straight, and suddenly spoke: "I want to go!" Go! Lu'er is going! ”

"I'm going to die! Shut up! Li Sizhu was startled, and hurriedly looked left and right - fortunately, the sky was just dawning. No one rose up in the neighborhood. She changed her face and tugged at its tail fiercely. He said angrily: "If you talk more, be careful that I completely cut your tongue with a knife!" - Are you going to scare me to death, little brute? ”

"Lu'er is not a little brute! No! However, as if taking the wrong medicine, the parrot continued to rap dumbfoundedly, "Today, the shipyard will start the construction of a new ship, and my sweetheart must be there-"

"Shut up!" Li Sizhu looked at a pedestrian at the entrance of the alley, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed the bird's chattering beak.

The parrot scratched and scratched unwillingly in her palm, Li Sizhu looked at it, her calm face was soft, she sighed softly, leaned over and whispered: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there." But no matter what you see, don't give me any more mouths, do you hear? ”

The green parrot nodded again and again, Li Sizhu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he started.

Outside the alley, the sky had already brightened, and along the way, I saw people coming out one after another, Li Sizhu and his neighbors were not close to each other on weekdays, so they just nodded and walked over with a slight greeting.

"Get married! When to get married! Suddenly, the quiet parrot spoke again.

Li Sizhu's face changed, but before she could drink, Sister-in-law Ma, who had just opened a shop next to her to sell breakfast, smiled and said: "Oh, this bird has more mouths than matchmakers, and he calls for marrying people all day long - I don't know where to learn from them." ”

"Yes." Li Sizhu patted the parrot on his shoulder, Lu'er "purred", flew away to avoid it, and landed gently and skillfully on the side of Sister-in-law Ma's soybean milk burden, and put the familiar probe into the cupboard and took out a small plate.

"Oh, look how smart this green is." Sister-in-law Ma couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stepped forward with a soy milk tube and scooped a small spoonful, "Parrots also love to drink this, it's really strange." ”

Li Sizhu sat down in the old seat and glared at Lu'er fiercely.

"Miss Li or a bowl of soy milk, half a cage of bean paste buns, and a plate of pickles?" They are all regular customers who come every day, and Mrs. Ma's hands and feet are quick and her attitude is also a lot more attentive, and she will be served up after a while, and she will talk, "It's a good weather today, and it's rare to see Miss Li going out. ”

What Ma Damiang is talking about is actually the groundbreaking ceremony of the new ship of Mawei Shipyard, which will hold a grand celebration as usual, and the Minister of Shipping and local officials will personally participate in it, place the keel, and the people will also hold a sacrifice to the gods, which is very lively.

Picking up the chopsticks, Li Sizhu nodded slightly. Sister-in-law Ma sat down and began to gossip: "Yes, more and more ships are being built in this shipyard, and there are more and more ships coming and going in this port, and this Fuzhou city is becoming more and more prosperous." ”

Li Sizhu took a bite of the bean paste bun, stuttered quietly and delicately, and did not answer.

However, it was still early and there were not many guests, so Sister-in-law Ma's mouth was not idle for a moment, looking at the beautiful young girl in white, she couldn't help but start nagging: "Oh, the girl has heard, those auspicious signs that appear in the ancestral tomb of the Lin family?" The crane came to fly, the white deer spit out people's words, and many people saw it with their own eyes! ”

Li Sizhu was stunned for a moment, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She doesn't believe in any auspicious signs, but she believes that these things must be related to Lin Yiqing.

Thinking that she would see Lin Yiqing in a while, her face couldn't help but feel a little feverish.

Although she and he came to Fuzhou from Jinling and have been on the same boat, there are actually very few opportunities to meet and talk. And after arriving in Fuzhou. She lived with Mrs. Wu and her brother Shen Weiqing in the old house of the Shen family. And Lin Yiqing and Iwasaki Youjia returned to live in the Lin family's ancestral home. The two were invisibly separated again.

Although there is Shen Youdan's deathbed, it is still unknown when Lin Yiqing will marry him.

Although that day, when he listened to himself playing the piano, he had already made a promise.

"Miss Li is really handsome! I see that the second lady of Master Ding's family is known as the first beauty in Fuzhou, and she may not be able to compare with Miss Li's ......" Sister-in-law Ma chatted with some parents, and the conversation gradually turned to the usual topic - Li Sizhu smiled and listened to Sister-in-law Ma's nagging, but never spoke.

The Japanese man endured and endured after seeing this pile of valuable goods, and finally did not restrain himself, but still started to arrange these jewelry neatly according to types and sizes, and was finally hired by Edison.
