Chapter 61: The Lonely One

On the other side, in the dungeon of Dali Temple, Zhang Yunhua took out the seal wrapped in it from his sleeve, put it in the palm of Qingzhou's hand, and said, "Open it and take a look." Cheongju sensed it through his handkerchief and said, "A seal? Yunhua nodded, watching Zhao Qingzhou take the handkerchief apart. It was given to you by two children. Yunhua said with a faint smile.

Zhao Qingzhou put the handkerchief on the stone couch and studied the seal, "This is ?。。。 The mountains are high and the moon is small, and the water falls out. He immediately understood the meaning of the seal, and laughed: "Okay, I understand the meaning of the two children." Zhang Yunhua picked up the handkerchief of Su Mengtang, folded it carefully, put it back in his sleeve, and said, "You are still so smart, you can see it at a glance." ”

Zhao Qingzhou remembered that it had been a long time since he saw Ximen and Qiuqiu for the last time, and he couldn't help asking, "Everyone is okay?" Yunhua said: "Everyone is very good, and they are all anxious about your affairs." Lao Xiang arranged for me to come to see you because I wanted to ask you if you could think of clues related to the case, and we would help you investigate outside. Hearing this, Qingzhou looked out and said, "Lao Xiang is also here?" Outside? ”

Yun Hua shook his head and said, "It's coming, but the head of the Xia prison here only allows Master Cheng to bring one person in, so he waits outside Dali Temple." Qingzhou nodded, and asked again, "Who is Master Cheng?" Yun Hua said: "It's the doctor of the Criminal Department." Qingzhou thought about it seriously and said, "I don't remember what Brother Xiang said about what friendship the Xiang Mansion had with the Criminal Department. "It's really interesting to care about the things you care about. We only have a cup of tea time, and I'm afraid it's already halfway there. Zhang Yunhua saw that Qingzhou led the topic all the way to something unrelated to the case, and couldn't help asking, "Qingzhou, are you worried that after tonight, we won't have a chance to chat like this." ”

Zhao Qingzhou couldn't help but wonder: "I've also thought about this question, but there is death in life, and a lonely person like me will inevitably be hated." What's more, I'm in prison now, and I can't do anything except force myself to get rid of it, so I want to ask you to beg Shi Miyuan to let me go? No, I'd rather die in exile, and I can't bear to be in this state. ”

Seeing Zhao Qingzhou's iron-clad appearance, a trace of heartache flashed in Zhang Yunhua's eyes, and he suddenly remembered that many people in his mind were people in the books they admired when he was studying with Qingzhou in the past. From Qu Yuan, Cao Zhi to the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, the stories of these people all came to his eyes for a while, he tried to extract his thoughts from these stories, and said to Zhao Qingzhou: "I regret it now, I should have brought you that letter, in which Xiaoqiu wrote a poem to describe you, which is really appropriate." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"Only leave a clear breath and be full of goodness." Zhang Yunhua slowly read out the poem. "Wonderful, I didn't expect Brother Zhao Hong's child to be so smart, and it is really rare to be able to write such a style at such a young age." Yunhua said: "There is also March, and I painted a jade pot for you, borrowing the poetry of the Tang people." When Zhao Qingzhou heard this, he said, "You should really bring it over and let me take a look." Did you co-write this letter? Yunhua nodded and said, "Next time I come over, I'll give it to you." ”

Zhao Qingzhou's eyes dimmed for a moment, and said, "Will there be a next time?" Yunhua said solemnly: "There will be, it will be fine, Jinshu has already gone to invite Mr. Tong, even if we can't save you, Mr. Tong will not sit idly by." Governor Zhao Qing sighed and said: "As a student, I don't say that I am dedicated to the teacher, but for my own affairs, let the teacher come forward to save me, Zhao is really ashamed." ”

Yun Hua hurriedly patted him on the back and said, "Qingzhou, don't think like this, you are being framed by someone when you are in prison. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Mr. Cheng standing outside the fence gate with a serious face: "Zhang Gongzi, let's go quickly, I heard someone coming down." ”

Here, in the Zhao Mansion in Jiangning, Li Zhuoran and Changfan stared closely at the rice paper with five finger prints, staring at the sour eyes, and they didn't see any change. Changfan rubbed his eyes and said, "Li Gongzi, let's sleep first, and we'll take a look tomorrow morning." Li Zhuoran's lips showed a smile of determination: "Changfan, I have a hunch that the mystery of this case is about to be solved." You go to sleep first, I'm going to see what articles are in this ink. ”

Changfan obediently walked out of Zhao Qingzhou's narrow bedroom, which is also Zhao Qingzhou's study, and the entire Zhao Mansion is just a four-acre courtyard: in front is a quadrangle, entering the gate, bypassing the shadow wall, facing Zhao Qingzhou's bedroom connected to the hall, the wings on both sides are the places where the guests live, and the back of several wings is where the people live.

In the past six years, many outsiders and businessmen in Jiangning have tried to buy a decent and spacious house for Zhao Qingzhou, but Zhao Qingzhou sternly refused. "Leaning on the south window to be proud, judging the ease of the knees" Zhao Qingzhou looked at his small house like this.

After he was promoted to the rank of Sipin official, the imperial court assigned Zhao Qingzhou a large mansion according to his position, close to the Qinhuai River. At that time, Zhao Qingzhou led Changfan to check it out, and saw the big courtyard with five entrances, and the house looked quite elegant, Zhao Qingzhou was very happy, and said: "This year, the old Gongyuan house in the county government school examination collapsed two rooms, so let's use this house as the new Gongyuan." ”

He immediately took out his own money, asked Changfan to invite a carpenter and a master bricklayer, divided the wings in the courtyard into rooms, and changed the few huts outside the garden pavilion into a storehouse and dining room. All the fortifications stopped, Zhao Qingzhou personally wrote the plaque of "Jiangnan Gongyuan", which was hung on the lintel on the fifteenth day of the month, and the school examination of Jiangning Mansion was arranged here. Zhao Qingzhou still lives comfortably in his small mansion, and has never felt any dissatisfaction.

At present, Li Zhuoran stared at the ink plum he painted for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he felt, and from time to time he added a branch and a leaf to this lone flower. Since the last time he stumbled on the letter paper to draw a "plum blossom", he felt that he had a lot of talent and talent for painting plum blossoms, a few days ago when it rained, when he was bored, he copied the autumn autumn "son of a thousand gold" on the rice paper, each of which was painted with plum blossoms.

Li Zhuoran has a habit of painting, every time he finishes painting, he says to Yunhua in a frustrated tone: "This painting is extremely bad, it should be torn." When Yunhua took it and praised him, Li Zhuoran smiled and continued to draw the next one. When he encountered a work that he was really satisfied with, he generously gave it to Zhang Yunhua to stick on the wall, so within a few days, Yunhua's bedroom was full of ink pictures with teeth and claws.

At this time, Li Zhuoran was still looking at his painting with satisfaction, and he saw that the snoring gradually started, and he saw Zhou Gong from the paper. During the time when his eyes were closed, the flowers on the table quietly changed.
