When it is the rainy season in the valley, the flowers and plants are fragrant, the willows are fluttering, the mountain wind carries thunder and lightning, the green tiles receive the rain, just after the hour, a rainstorm comes suddenly, knocking on the roof tile curtain window like throwing beans, the night is darker, but there is no quiet sound.

After arguing with his father two days ago, Zheng Shijie locked himself in the room, no one paid attention to him, and no one dared to approach, Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng wanted to push the door to inquire, but Zixiang stopped them at the door. When the two of them saw Zixiang's fierce face like a dead corpse, their hearts were furious, they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to ask, so they had to retreat in a huff.

On a rainy night, a man suddenly appeared in front of Zheng Xun's house, without speaking or knocking on the door, and his face wet with rain looked unusually calm. After a while, a gust of wind blew open the door, the lights and candles in the house flickered, Zheng Xun got up and was about to close the door, but he saw a person walking into the house between the lightning and thunder.

Zheng Xun didn't see his face clearly, and was startled and thought it was an assassin breaking in, so he touched the edge of the table and grabbed the teacup and said, "Er.. Who is you?! The man's flesh was covered with thorns, his wet hair covered his face, and the rain on his exposed upper body was raging, and he suddenly stepped forward slowly, and the lightning and thunder really frightened Zheng Xun.

Just as Zheng Xun clutched the teacup and was about to throw it over, the man suddenly knelt on the ground and said calmly: "Father, the child has come to ask for sin. "After engaging in this 'assassin' for a long time, it turned out to be Zheng Shijie, Zheng Xun stared at him suspiciously, Zheng Shijie slowly raised his head, and Zheng Xun's clenched hand loosened.

"Bastard! You have to be like a ghost at night, do you want to be scared to death as a father?! Zheng Xun slammed the teacup on the table hatefully, "What's the matter?!" Zheng Shijie kowtowed and said: "The child took the liberty of breaking in, and asked his father to forgive his sins... The child has been bedridden for days, and every time he thinks of the previous quarrel, he feels deeply guilty, and he can't think about tea and dinner... I beg the father to be magnanimous and forgive the child for his disrespectful behavior...", and bowed his head again.

Zheng Shijie followed the example of his predecessors and came to ask for guilt with a thorn on his back, Zheng Xun saw that he was drenched in rain, and his attitude was not as presumptuous and rude as last time, and he said coldly: "Get up, although there were serious words for my father last time, but it was all to make you ashamed and brave, why don't you want to see you better than Xu Xianglin." There seemed to be helplessness and disappointment between the words.

Zheng Shijie's eyes were filled with tears: "The child must follow the teachings, if the father still can't forgive the child, please whip the child, and the child can feel better." There was a deep remorse in his deep words. Zheng Xun sighed: "You are my Zheng Xun's only son, and the foundation of the Zheng family will be handed over to you sooner or later, but the way you are now, I am very worried about my father..."

Zheng Shijie wanted to speak, Zheng Xun waved his hand and said: "As long as you can study diligently, no longer act by your temperament, you can rest assured that you are a father..."

Syllable! A man in black suddenly broke through the window and flew in, his skills were agile, and his sword came out of its sheath when he jumped in the air, reflecting a flash of lightning shining brightly, and stabbed straight at Zheng Xun. "Be careful!" Zheng Shijie pushed Zheng Xun forward, the sound of the sword mixed with the sword qi 'ding' pierced his ears, Zheng Xun was stunned, and Zheng Shijie hurriedly stepped forward to protect him.

The thunder struck the air, the lights and candles in the house flickered violently, and the man in black didn't know where to hide, but he didn't hear his voice or his shadow. When the lightning rose again, the sword suddenly stabbed again, this time Zheng Shijie really couldn't dodge, the sword stabbed him in the shoulder, and fell into Zheng Xun's arms with a scream.

"There are assassins! Come! Come on! Zheng Xun seemed to regain his senses, shouted a few times, and then heard the sound of soldiers hurrying in, these soldiers were guarding the door, who expected a heavy rain, Zheng Xun ordered them to retreat and wait. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black jumped out of the window and fled, and the soldiers chased him out of the school palace without even catching a shadow.

Zheng Shijie's blood flowed, and he fainted after a few struggles, and the soldiers immediately carried him to the school palace, and Zheng Xun followed closely in the heavy rain. After the consultation, Qiu Ying said: "Adults don't have to worry, Ling Lang Nai has lost too much blood and has no worries about his life." Zheng Xun pinched a handful of rain water from the corner of his clothes and ordered the soldiers to strictly guard the medical hall.

Zheng Shijie was stabbed, and everyone in the school palace was panicked, secretly thinking about who ate the ambitious leopard gall, and even the son of Lord Shi dared to attack. Early in the morning of the second day, Zheng Xun summoned Wang Chong and Chen Tong to question, Wang Chongyan said: "My lord, the school palace has always been peaceful and peaceful. There has never been an assassin before." Zheng Xun was so angry that he was willing to listen to his explanation, and ordered Chen Tong to investigate the facts and bring the assassin to justice.

Zheng Shijie was lucky to pick up a life, and gradually recovered under the careful care of Qiu Ying. Zheng Xun would go to see him every day, shouting for warmth, he was very concerned and worried, and there were more and more conversations between the father and son, and his attitude was a lot kinder, which Zheng Shijie never thought about and did not dare to expect.

"Childe, everyone says. Say that you instructed the assassin that night..."Sanjiu said angrily, and when he passed by Xuezhitang in the morning, a large group of panicked students exchanged their heads and ears, and privately rumored that the assassination of Zheng Xun must be related to Xiang Lin. Ruolan frowned coldly and scolded: "Hmph! A group of despicable villains, Gongzi and Zheng Xun have no grievances and no enmity, how can they be assassinated! Sanjiu said: "It's not what I said, what are you staring at me?" These two were also enemies in their last lives.

Xiang Lin said: "I promise Xiang Lin to behave properly, whatever they say, you two must not argue with them." Ziying said: "Xiang Lin, it's better for us to go and visit, so that we can also block everyone's right and wrong." In fact, Xiang Lin had already heard some gossip, his thoughts were the same as Ziying's, but he hesitated, not knowing whether this move was appropriate or not, so he agreed when he heard Ziying say this.

When passing by Xuezhitang, I saw a group of people gathered at the door shouting, as if there was an argument, and I rushed up to Lin and Ziying to take a look, He Jian, Zhang Xiang and others were arguing with red faces and couldn't get along. Then Zhao Cheng grabbed his collar and punched him, He Jian covered his mouth and fell to the ground in pain, and several Confucian scholars surrounded him and wanted to fist and kick each other, Xiang Lin hurriedly drank them.

"Brother Xian, this... These guys.. It was said that .. It was you who assassinated Lord Zheng..."He Jian wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Zhang Xiang who was smiling angrily. Zhao Cheng sneered: "I can't imagine that Xu Dacai has a human face, but he hides a beast heart?" He Jian wanted to step forward again, so he pulled Lin away from the crowd and persuaded He Jian to leave in a huff.

In the medical hall, Zheng Shijie sat coldly at the table, I don't know what he was thinking, the wrapping cloth on his shoulders had gone, and he seemed to have recovered from his energetic appearance. "I came to visit my son with my foolish brother." Xiang Lin still greeted politely, Zheng Shijie seemed a little surprised, his eyes turned a few times, and he got up to greet him with a smile: "Young Master Xu?.. Rare Guest.. Rare guests. As soon as Ziying saw him, she was inexplicably bored and stared at him with hatred.

Zheng Shijie suddenly seemed to be a different person, so respectful that Xiang Lin was a little overwhelmed, Ziying didn't eat him, and said: "Zheng Shijie, tie up a few dogs around you, don't bite people everywhere." Zheng Shijie paused: "Oh! It turned out that Brother Xiang Jie was talking about them, don't worry, I will definitely discipline him well..."Ziying looked at him carefully with heavy eyebrows, and couldn't say anything about it, thinking about what tricks this guy was playing.

Before they had said ten words, Xiang Lin and Ziying dismissed and left, there seemed to be a deep gully between them, and they did not conspire with each other, so there was really nothing to say.

Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng, the two ghosts and demons, did not say anything, but they had the courage to go to Zheng Xun to complain, and they were really two loyal lost dogs.

"Great. My lord, the traitor who assassinated the adult that night must have been instructed by Xu Xianglin. Zhao Cheng poked Zhang Xiang's waist socket fiercely, Zhang Xiang stared at him hatefully, turned his head and greeted him with a smile. Zheng Xun glanced at them ignorantly: "Xu Xiang Lin Zhishu is a gift, and last time he sacrificed his life to save the family, how can he be a treacherous and cunning person." ”

Zhang Xiang also stabbed Zhao Cheng with color, squeezed his eyebrows and eyes, and Zhao Cheng choked his throat: "Big.. My lord, as the saying goes, it is difficult to know the heart when you know the face, so Xu. Xu Xianglin looks polite and gentle on the surface, but he hides a bad stomach behind his back." Zhang Xiang hurriedly answered: "Yes, my lord, since Xu Xianglin came to the school palace, he has relied on his talent to know people, and he doesn't take all the students in his eyes at all. He also had some trouble with Brother Shijie, and this assassination must be because he has a grudge and takes the opportunity to take revenge."

Zhao Chengyan said: "My lord, Brother Zhang is right, only Xu Xianglin has no one in the eyes of this guy in the school palace, and he has fought against Brother Shijie five times, and the last time he saved people was just that he wanted to behave in front of adults, so that you can make an inscription on the character book, in order to seek a smooth career in the future..."

These two ghosts talked wildly, and the more they talked, the more they talked, the more energetic they became, but Zheng Xun didn't say a word, and quietly listened to their nonsense. That's it, Zheng Xun asked them to retreat with a calm face, and paced back and forth, with a trace of worry in his sad eyes.
