Chapter 61: Shangshu, Yique
"Are you satisfied?"
Xiyan stood in front of him, tears raining down. He suddenly felt that he was so pale and powerless, and his heart could not be calmed in the face of the disfigured sunset.
Wanjun's tears couldn't stop flowing, and his nails were about to buckle the railing of the wooden door.
"Xiyan, who did it?"
Wanjun couldn't hold back any longer, and he was going to send those who mutilated smokers to hell.
Xiyan touched her face and cried, "Does it matter who it is?" I lived in fear every day, waking up every morning to be confident that I was still alive. Wanjun, stop it! ”
"Stop? Even you think so? ”
Wanjun's eyes were full of grievance and heartache, and he couldn't understand why his good friend said the same thing about him.
"What did I do? Xiyan, am I that kind of person in your eyes? ”
Wanjun looked at Xiyan who was standing in the cell, and her mood was even more complicated and depressed than just now.
"Wanjun, I know you're not that kind of person, but look at it, the people around you are starting to get hurt one by one, if one day you're left alone, what will you do?"
Xiyan wanted to say that all this was because of him, if he wasn't competitive and didn't give an inch, he wouldn't have made it like this. But he couldn't say it, so he could only change it in a tactful way.
"Xiyan, don't worry, no, never again. From this day forward, I will tear your murderer to pieces. Tell me, who made you like this? ”
Wanjun's eyes were fierce and his eyes were burning.
Xiyan cried even more, he never expected that Wanjun not only did not stop retreating, but began to fight back.
"You still won't stop, you won't give up, if you still want to make mistakes again and again, then let's go, I don't need you!"
Xiyan shed the last tear and turned her body slightly.
"Xiyan, don't be like this, you know I can't live without you!"
Xiyan didn't speak again, just turned her back to Wanjun.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out, I just hope you don't believe their words, they are the ones who hurt you like this!"
Wanjun looked at Xiyan's figure, his mood was extremely complicated, he couldn't imagine how he spent those dark days.
"We're leaving, you must take care of yourself in prison, I will get you out soon."
Wanjun leaned on the door and looked at it for a long time before turning around and leaving with Chunqiu.
They had left, and Xiyan ran to the door of the cell to watch their backs.
"Wanjun, don't worry about me, I'm just a waste!"
He was in tears again, Wanjun was able to come to see him, he was already very happy, but why did he say such things to break his heart.
He raised his hand to touch the scar on his face, closed his eyes, and thought, "I'm not the same person anymore, just let me linger here!" ”
......
Chunqiu followed behind Wanjun: "Wanjun, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Go home and rest!"
Wanjun's pace is fast, Chunqiu has never seen his pace so fast, even with his long legs, it is difficult to keep up.
"Okay, it's time for a good rest."
Spring and Autumn quickened the pace, hoping to keep up with Wanjun.
"I'll go find Grandpa Wei early tomorrow morning."
Wanjun's face was expressionless, like a ruthless killer who had experienced the ups and downs of life.
"What? Are you crazy? ”
Chunqiu grabbed Wanjun's hand, hoping that he could slow down and not torture himself like this.
"I'm not crazy, you let me go!"
Wanjun tried all her strength to break free from him, but she couldn't break free with all her strength. He turned to look at Chunqiu: "Let go of me!" ”
"I won't let go!"
Chunqiu still held Wanjun's hand tightly.
"Do you want to let it go?"
Wanjun continued to ask.
"Don't let go."
Chunqiu replied decisively.
Wanjun clenched his fist and punched Chunqiu in the stomach, and he was beaten back a few steps by this punch. But he still didn't let go, except for a slight frown on his brow.
Wanjun continued to ask, "Do you want to let it go?" ”
"Don't let go, I won't let go of anything I say today!"
Wanjun kicked Chunqiu's knee, he almost didn't stand up and kneel, but he didn't fall, and continued to stand firm and look at Wanjun.
"Hit it, if beating me makes you feel better, then hit it!"
Chunqiu knew that Wanjun's heart was very painful, and he didn't want him to be so sad.
Wanjun raised his fist and punched Chunqiu in the stomach one after another, and did not stop until he ran out of strength.
Chunqiu was beaten very weakly, and could only say softly: "Wanjun, I love you!" ”
He took Wanjun into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Wanjun, don't torture yourself anymore, torturing you is torturing me!"
Wanjun hugged Chunqiu and wept in pain, he couldn't let go, and he couldn't forgive himself. Since returning to Taichang Temple, I learned the news that the adult was killed by a traitor, and then I saw that Xiyan was disfigured, and all this was because of him.
"Chunqiu, am I very incompetent, I can't even protect the people around me?"
Chunqiu patted Wanjun's back and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you've done a good job, don't blame yourself too much." ”
Chunqiu also carried the same burden in his heart, he also wanted to take revenge and be ashamed of the Zuo family.
Wanjun stopped crying and wiped away her tears: "Chunqiu, don't you think it's strange? We didn't see a magpie when we came back! ”
"yes, where did Yique go?"
Spring and Autumn seems to have been woken up by Wanjun, and he hasn't seen a magpie since he came back, could it be that he was also killed?
"No, we need to go check it out!"
Wanjun took Chunqiu's hand and ran towards the outside of the emperor's bedroom.
But when they ran, except for the patrolling Jinyi guards, they couldn't see a magpie at all. Wanjun finally couldn't wait, so she ran to stop a brocade guard and asked, "Little brother, where are your guards?" ”
"What are you looking for Lord Zhu?"
Jin Yiwei replied.
"Lord Zhu? How can you have the surname Zhu? Little brother, his name is Yique, are you mistaken? ”
Wanjun felt that he had made a mistake, and he was not talking about Yique at all, but someone else.
"You don't bother, Lord Zhu is our guard! You see that our adults are here, and I won't tell you! ”
Wanjun and Chunqiu followed Jin Yiwei's eyes, and a greasy uncle with an obese body really came out of it.
"Are you looking for me?"
Lord Zhu walked like them with a big belly. It's really funny, a bit like a pregnant woman, holding on to a big belly.
"Yes, sir!"
Master Zhu walked in and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Du Gongzi!" ”
He glanced at Chunqiu again, as if he had seen a ghost: "This, this, isn't this the left, left guard?" ”
Chunqiu hurriedly said: "Adult, the little one's name is Xia Dong, but he just looks a little similar to that person, and he is also mistaken by many people. ”
Lord Zhu looked up and down for a long time, looked at Chunqiu's eyes and said, "Like, it's really too similar, you, what's your name?" ”
"Answerer, the little one's name is Xia Dong!"
Only then did Master Zhu take his eyes off Chunqiu, look at Wanjun and ask, "What is Du Gongzi looking for me?" ”
"My lord, where did this original guard go?"
Wanjun asked.
"Yique, he is now the secretary of the Criminal Department, you can't find him here!"
Lord Zhu's stomach trembled, and the smile on his lips became more humble.
"The book of the criminal department? When was this? ”
Wanjun and Chunqiu's eyes widened, they couldn't believe that Yique had become the secretary of the Criminal Department.
Wanjun knows very well what kind of person Yique is, and with his knowledge and qualifications, he can't be the secretary of the criminal department.
"Yes, he became the secretary of the Criminal Department, and I took over his vacancy."
Lord Zhu seems to be very grateful to Yique for becoming the secretary of the Criminal Department, so that he can take over this position.
"What about the original Shangshu?"
Wanjun continued to ask.
Master Zhu glanced around a few times before he said cautiously: "I heard that I provoked the factory father, so I ...... Don't talk nonsense, I don't know anything. ”
After Master Zhu finished speaking, he pointed to the patrol team in front of him and shouted, "A few of you, line up......"
Chunqiu felt very sad when he saw that his former position was made like this by this greasy fat man. He said in Wanjun's ear: "This person can be a royal guard, is Daming really unpopular?" ”
"Spring and Autumn, why did you say that Yique became the secretary of the criminal department in a short period of time? That's too much of a change, isn't it? ”
Wanjun lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, but he couldn't figure it out.
After a while, Wanjun and Chunqiu said in unison: "Grandpa Wei? ”
"Looks like we're going together!"
Wanjun looked up at Wanjun, he figured it out, if it weren't for his collusion with Gonggong Wei, it would be impossible for him to become the secretary of the Criminal Department. Of course, in addition to Gonggong Wei, who has this right and strength, there must not be a second person in the court.
Chunqiu yawned and said, "Let's go back, what's the matter, let's talk about it when we wake up!" ”
"Okay, let's go back!"
The two of them went back with a stomach full of questions and confusion. The palace lights are blazing, as if all hope will be like lights, which will be lit tonight and extinguished tomorrow morning. Yes, in Daming, how dare they say hope, what else can they do but live?
......
Early the next morning, while Spring and Autumn were asleep, Wanjun got up alone and went to Shangshu Mansion.
He knocked lightly on the door of Shangshu Mansion, and the door slowly opened, revealing a crack, poking out a delicate little head and saying, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Wanjun smiled and took two steps forward and said, "I'm looking for Lord Shangshu!" ”
"Go back, who told you to move forward!"
The child who opened the door was obviously not yet grown, and his speech was a little noisy and unpleasant.
Wanjun retreated and said, "Little brother, can you go back and inform your family, just say that Du Wanjun wants to see you!" ”
"Wait, I'll go back and inform your lordship!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was closed with a "bang".
Because it was almost winter, it was still very cold to stand outside in the morning, and Wanjun was so cold that she began to rub her hands and sigh. He just waited outside. I don't know if Yique knows that he is back, and he is not excited, but if he knows, why don't he open the door?
Yique said to the boy who guarded the door: "You let him in in another hour, go!" ”
Yique got a cup of tea and drank it meaningfully, what did he want to do, why was he still so cold to his former young master.
