Chapter 84: Seven Mercy
This song, called Bai Shouyue, is a new song that took me three months to compose, so you can try it.
Bai Shouyue, but unfortunately he couldn't hear it after all......
I want her to watch, what is the mirror, I can't ask for it!
Liang Zhen, if you meet someone who treats you differently from others, will you be happy with him?
……
Suddenly a string of sad sounds crossed in my mind, weaving into an old picture.
The girl in the white dress in a wheelchair raised her bare hand and placed it on the empty piano case, and her eyes were stunned......
The phoenix string qin is no more, the people of the past are no more, and the music is no more.
"Zhen'er?" Lu Shu's clear voice rose slightly.
Like a white stone smashed on the mirror water, the layers of pictures were shattered, and the picture of the girl in the mirror disappeared in an instant.
"I ...... Nothing. Ying Zhichu lowered his eyelids and came back to his senses.
Lu Shu picked up the broken hair at the corners of her forehead for her, and coaxed slightly, "Don't be afraid, with me here, I will definitely protect you." ”
Ying Zhi first knew that the woman wanted to divert her mind, so she only whispered yes.
"If what is said is true, hum! It is the eyes of God, and the scorpion deserves it. Lu Shu bit the last few words.
Ying Zhichu shook his head slightly, "Sister, do you really believe that the scorpion has been destroyed?" ”
"Could it be that you have another guess in mind?"
Hearing Lu Shu's hesitation, Ying Zhichu raised his eyebrows and said word by word: "Sister, did your father entrust you with anything before he died?" ”
Lu Shu's eyes turned sideways in an instant, and the white flowers on the bun shook with a crisp swaying sound, which sounded particularly refreshing at night.
Ying Zhi first saw her reaction, and his heart was not tight.
"Zhen'er, what do you want to do with this?"
"Sister, what he handed you is a list, right?"
The girl stared at Lu Shu, for fear of missing the slightest change in her, and for fear that she would guess wrong.
Lu Shu was stared at by her for a moment, and then sighed helplessly, and could only admit it.
"Yes, there is a list, a list of people who can cause death."
Hearing this, the girl's red cherry lips trembled slightly, and she hurriedly urged, "Then sister, tell me, where is the list?" ”
Lu Shu shook her head, "The list is not with me. ”
Seeing that the girl didn't believe it, she added, "I didn't lie to you." ”
"But, what does Daddy mean by entrusting me to you and giving me this jade whistle?"
Ying Zhichu picked up the jade whistle, and his palms were already sweating.
Lu Shu only glanced at the white jade whistle and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly." ”
“……”
"Zhen'er, have you ever heard of a poisonous flower, but you can't touch it from a distance, otherwise you will die if you touch it."
"I, I've heard that. This flower is called Qilian, and it is said that this flower grows in the deserted poisonous city......"
"Well, there are rumors in the world that Lang Country Poison City was born from illusions, and so far, no one has been able to verify the truth of this statement. And the seven mercys I am talking about are also flower names and personal names. ”
"Seven mercy...... Sister's meaning, is it seven people? ”
"Yes, it's my Yu Duqi mercy. We are orphans of criminals, and we should not live in this Langlang and Qing world, but Liang Shangshu has given us a new identity and the meaning of living. ”
She spread her fingers out in front of Ooriha's eyes.
When the girl saw this, she put the jade whistle in her palm.
Lu Shu's eyes became reverent as she looked at the whistle, especially the small words engraved later.
Although the carving is still shallow, it is cautious.
She could imagine that scene, when Lord Liang, who was far away in Qingliu County, knew that a great disaster was coming, and he was unable to be distracted, he still carved these eight characters.
The autumn water is silent, and the flowers are gorgeous.
This language is kitsch and elegant, and it all accounts for it.
It can be said from the mouth of Lord Liang, for her, it is a proud affirmation.
"Do you know who the original owner of this whistle is?" Lu Shu asked lightly.
"My sister said that it was Daddy's, isn't this Daddy's thing?"
"This jade whistle was given to Lord Liang by the new emperor."
"Then the seven of you, aren't you also sent by the new emperor?"
Lu Shu shook her head, her eyebrows dyed with warm colors, "Although Lord Liang uses the seven of me to do things, he still leaves room for it. The new emperor gave him a jade whistle as a token, I only know that this thing is valuable, but I don't know the deep meaning. And the seven of us are only in one-line contact with Lord Liang, so Xindi knows that we exist, but we don't know our true identity. ”
"Daddy's move, I'm afraid he expected that after the East Window incident, he would not be able to protect you, so he kept this hand."
"Yes, the Empress Dowager Qi is listening to the government, the new emperor has no power, and he sits on the dragon throne, so he is naturally jealous of the different parties, and it is bound to be slowly eliminated to correct the dynasty. And the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China are mostly veterans of the two dynasties, and finding out the real different parties in this group of old foxes is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
"Well, today's ministers are either prime ministers who protect the country, or meritorious princes, if there are really different intentions among them, how can the emperor sit on the throne safely?" Ying Zhichu whispered.
Lu Shu glanced at the girl approvingly, her eyebrows still thick and miserable.
"Now that you know the seriousness of this matter, don't ask about the list."
"No, my sister is wrong." Ying Zhichu raised his chin, his eyes were firm, "It is for this reason that I must find the whereabouts of the list." ”
Lu Shu breathed slightly, and said lightly: "What are these words?" Do you know why this list led to the killing of the Liang family? Four years ago, rumors spread among the nobles of Yudu, saying that the new emperor was tired of the queen mother, and the secret ministers traced the identity of the different parties in the court. As soon as this rumor came out, people's hearts were panicked, and the entire Jinjia City fell into a desperate whirlpool, where else could anyone be left alone? ”
Ying Zhichu's eyes were clear, "What my sister means is that the real culprits behind the disaster of my Liang family are those nobles of the family?" ”
Green Shu's micro-jaw eyes are equivalent to default.
"They don't want to be connected, so they have to take my Liang family first?" The girl chuckled lightly, but her face was as pale as soft water, as if the question was not spoken from her mouth, but roared from the bottom of her heart.
Then she seemed to think of something, and her voice was slightly sharp, "Is the Qi family also one of the different parties?!" ”
Lu Shu was also shocked and shook her head in denial.
"The Qi family did not participate in standing in line."
Ying Zhichu didn't believe it, "How could it not be, if the Empress Dowager Qi really did something, they would be the most direct beneficiaries." ”
Lu Shu looked at the girl's face and asked lightly, "Do you really want to check the list?" ”
"Yes!" One word is neat.
"If the list is not with you, it is in the hands of the real murderer behind the scenes, I will naturally check! For the sake of utilitarianism, they trapped the whole family of loyal ministers to death, shouldn't they die? Not only do I have to find out the whereabouts of the list, but I also have to hand it over to the emperor, only in this way can my father rest in peace under Jiuquan. ”
The tone of indignation contained a hint of unpredictable grievance.
Seeing that the girl insisted on going her own way, Lu Shu's eyebrows and eyes changed slightly, her fingers were put into her sleeve pocket, and she took out a thick booklet and handed it to Ying Zhichu.
"If you really want to look up, this thing might be able to help you."
"What is this?" She opened the book with her fingers and saw dense small print.
The handwriting is a little gray, and the booklet is a little curly, which must have been left for several years.
Turning the pages of the two chapters inside, Ying Zhichu's eyes widened.
Lu Shu explained: "This is a record of the preferences and habits of today's important ministers in the court, scandalous secrets, and criminal evidence, which are collected by the seven of us over the years. Those six women and I were placed in different families by Lord Liang, and we hibernated all year round in different identities. Because I had a slightly outstanding voice, he sent me to the Qiushui Pavilion, which looked like an ordinary piano pavilion, but behind the scenes, it was a place for nobles to exchange unknown information with each other. ”
"No wonder, officials below the sixth grade are not allowed to enter the Qiushui Pavilion, it turns out that there is really a secret doorway." Ying Zhichu pinched the booklet in his hand and said quietly.
Lu Shu stroked the back of her hand, "Zhen'er, that's all I can help you." Now that I have married into the Qi Mansion, I have been tied hand and foot, and my martial arts are weak. If you do this, you have to be more careful, you know? ”
"Sister's meaning, I understand. I am in Qi's house for a day, and I will never easily make enemies of others. ”
"The reason why I said that the Qi family did not stand in line is because there is no record of the Qi family in this booklet, and the scope of what the seven of me can check is limited after all. Four years ago, I copied a pamphlet and gave it to Mr. Liang, and if he did find a list, those characters might not appear in the booklet. ”
