Chapter 35: Wronged
In a small dark room.
Gu Qinghuan leaned back in the chair, leaning on his knees, dragging his head, and dozing off incessantly.
The person in the sack in front of him hadn't woken up yet.
Yinzhen had a gloomy face, put down the book in his hand, yawned, and walked over.
“…”
Su Peisheng was also standing aside with his head down, he was sleepy and panicked, and when he saw Yinzhen coming, the whole person was suddenly a spirit, and he was awake for three minutes.
"Fourth Elder Brother." Su Peisheng was a little aggrieved and said, "This person hasn't woken up yet." ”
Yin Zhen glanced at Su Peisheng.
"Go find a basin of water and wake up?"
Yin Zhen's tone was very light.
When he looked at Su Peisheng, it was like looking at a fool.
He had thought of this for a long time, but the book was not finished yet, so he simply waited.
"Gotcha!" Su Peisheng quickly agreed, and went out to find water.
The moment the door was pushed open, a cold wind poured in.
Outside the house, snowflakes began to fall one after another, and it was white.
"Shhhh
Gu Qinghuan, who was dozing, was blown by this cold wind, and the whole person suddenly woke up by three points. In a trance, I saw the cloud pattern in front of me.
Dirty moire.
"Fourth elder brother?"
Gu Qinghuan realized that this was Yinzhen's shoes, so he immediately straightened up and looked at the fourth elder brother who was looking at him condescendingly.
The room was very dim, and Gu Qinghuan couldn't see Yinzhen's face clearly.
He didn't have any expression on his face, it was very serious, it was a meticulous expression that he often wore on weekdays.
"Fourth brother, you actually look good when you smile a lot. Why do you always have a strained face? ”
Gu Qinghuan muttered quietly.
After muttering, I immediately covered my mouth and felt deep regret!
Why is she so abnormal every time she is in front of the fourth elder brother? This kind of thing, in front of Yongzhengye, who is decisive in killing, can he also say it casually?
"I think you have a point."
Yin Zhen's eyes moved, as if he had thought of something, and said after a while: "But, why should I laugh?" ”
Is there anything, something worth laughing at?
Once upon a time, Huang Eniang also said the same about him.
"Our Yinzhen is a very sensible child, but he always keeps a straight face, and the people below are afraid of you. Isn't it nice to smile more? ”
The memory is a little trance, and the curvature of the corners of Yinzhen's mouth is getting lighter and fader.
"The water is coming!"
Su Peisheng quickly came in with a basin of water.
The awkward atmosphere in the room was suddenly eased, and Gu Qinghuan looked at Su Peisheng and asked, "Water?" ”
Fourth elder brother, is this going to wash up and sleep?
Before the thought could be dispelled, Su Peisheng held a basin of water and splashed it directly on the sack.
It was freezing cold, and when a basin of water went down, the person in the sack was full of excitement, and suddenly convulsed and woke up.
"Ahh
The man in the sack shouted, and immediately began to dance.
"Leave me alone, I really don't know anything! Sister Xiuying, you don't blame me! ”
The little eunuch shouted in a frightened tone and muttered.
"Open the sack for him."
Yin Zhen only glanced at it, and then sat down at the side of the place.
Su Peisheng was sharp with his hands and feet, and immediately ripped off the sack that the little eunuch was wearing.
"What's your name? What are you doing sneakily at night? Miss Xiuying, could it be that you pushed you to the bottom of the well, right? ”
Su Peisheng asked three questions in a row, and he directly asked the little eunuch in confusion.
The little eunuch who came out of the sack was soaking wet, and the icy water was bitterly cold. However, the charcoal fire in this house burned extremely vigorously.
As soon as it was cold and hot, he sneezed.
"Ahh
The little eunuch touched his nose and glanced at Su Peisheng. Suddenly, the pupils shrank
"Father-in-law Su?"
"Yo." Su Peisheng's voice raised and asked, "Do you still recognize me?" That being the case, the question that was asked to you should be answered honestly as soon as possible. ”
"It's also saved... Isn't it suffering from those flesh and skin? ”
The little eunuch swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes moved slightly, and when he looked to the side, he saw that the head of the chair was sitting upright, looking at his Yinzhen.
The moment he saw Yinzhen's clothes, the little eunuch wilted.
Su Peisheng is the fourth elder brother's person, he knows.
Now, this is in the hands of the fourth elder brother.
"Miss Xiuying was not killed by me."
The little eunuch lowered his head and said, "My name is Xiao Wenzi, and I am a little eunuch in charge of running errands and delivering meals in the imperial dining room. I'm tonight... Tonight..."
"Hurry!"
Su Peisheng kicked Xiao Wenzi.
"Tonight, I hurriedly ran over because I heard that the fourth elder brother of Ming'er was going to take someone to the well to salvage things."
Su Peisheng suddenly sighed.
"You say, since you didn't kill this Xiuying, why did you go over overnight?"
Su Peisheng said: "You are so contradictory to yourself, isn't it because you have a weak heart, and you can't even make up lies, right?" ”
"No, no, no!"
Xiao Wenzi waved his hand hurriedly.
"It's not like that!" Xiao Wenzi was very aggrieved and said, "The slave has a little bit of silver hidden there. I'm afraid that when the fourth elder brother of Ming'er takes someone there, he will find the private money of the slave. ”
"That's... I rushed over overnight. ”
Gu Qinghuan frowned when he heard this.
"Then why did you go all the way and talk all the way to let Sister Xiuying let you go? Since you're not the murderer of her, what are you so afraid of? ”
I always feel like there's something wrong.
"That's right..."
Xiao Wenzi lowered his head and said, "The slave is in the imperial dining room, and he is not to be liked." I do hard work on weekdays, and I also send meals to the Huanyi Bureau..."
By chance, Xiao Wenzi met Xiuying.
His clothes were torn, but Xiuying helped sew them.
That's why he hid the silver on the edge of a well that no one had set foot on behind the Huanyi Bureau.
Just one day...
When he went to the Huanyi Bureau to deliver things again, he didn't see Xiuying.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a sneaky shadow on the edge of the palace wall going to the back of the Huanyi Bureau.
Xiao Wenzi felt weird, but because he was too busy with errands to take care of these, he hurried back to the imperial dining room at that time.
Outcome... For a day or two after that, he didn't see Xiuying again. Instead, I learned the news that Xiuying fell into the well and died.
The more Xiao Wenzi thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more he felt that there was something wrong with the sneaky shadow that day.
But he didn't know any more clues, and he couldn't do anything about it. It's just that there is a hunch that maybe that person harmed Xiuying.
That's just... I feel sorry.
"What the slave said, everything is true!"
Xiao Wenzi kept kowtowing and said busily: "If the fourth elder brother doesn't believe it, you can go to the osmanthus tree on the edge of the well now to see if there are a few broken pieces of silver buried!" ”
