The night is as cool as water, this season of apricot blossoms flying, like ice slag melting in the wind, poured into the placket of pedestrians, and the misty eyes reflect the ice and snow in winter.

Guo He stood in the dim candlelight, his face was mostly hidden by the shadows, and he saw that the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"At your disposal."

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the gloomy cell, and the sound of the friction of the iron chains echoed all around, making it even more deadly silent.

Ji Fuyu held a fan in one hand and said casually, with that warm smile, it was like a river of ice flowing, not mixed with half a point of temperature.

"Thank you..."

…………

After a while, there was only Guo He left in the cell, he was dressed in plain black, there was no decoration around him, and he was dull and desireless.

I saw him slowly raise his hand to open the prison door, walking unhurriedly and without any emotion.

The prince and the guards, who were chained in chains, stared at him and walked slowly, all with fear on their faces.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, are you going to rebel?! If the emperor knows, don't think about ......"

Before the words fell, there was a burst of sword light, and the head of the prince slid to the ground. The surrounding guards were all shocked when they saw this, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

"Lord Guo spares his life, the little ones are all acting on orders, it is really helpless to wash the Guo Mansion in blood, please have a lot of them, let us live!"

"Helpless?"

Guo He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, changing the appearance of a clear young man in the past, gloomy and unpredictable.

"Heh..."

A splash of blood suddenly splattered on the wall, the stinging red was terrifying, and everyone who saw it was shocked.

"Those who are waiting for the blades are innocent people, and their hands are stained with blood, so how can they talk about the word 'helpless'?"

After a long time, Guo Hecai threw away the blood-stained cold knife in his hand, and the candlelight pulled his shadow long, swaying, and disappeared in the dark abyss, never to return.

…………

It was another morning, and the sky was still not yet bright, and the stratus clouds in the distance were gray and white.

The dozen or so corpses in that cell had already been disposed of, leaving no trace.

Xingziyan was dressed in a plain long skirt, covered with light veil, stepping in the neighborhood, during the days when she was recuperating from her injuries, she didn't know what happened in the capital.

"Huh! Have you heard? Guo Mingyi, the head of the household, died. ”

Apricot Smoke's hand froze for a moment, and half of his arm froze in the air.

"Girl?"

Apricot Smoke was pulled back to her thoughts by the sound of a call.

"Girl, looking for you three taels of silver, this medicine needs to be fried slowly over low heat to exert its effect, you can remember it."

"There is labor."

Apricot cigarettes put away the silver taels, changed the direction of going to Jifu, and went to the drunken fairy restaurant.

The restaurant here is full, and the conversation around is very pleasant, and most of the information of Qi Guo comes out from this.

"You said that in order not to make the emperor suspicious, and in order not to lose the good opportunity to replace his father, he even exposed his father's various crimes with a letter......

Hearing this, everyone present sighed.

"Then Emperor Qi issued an edict to give Guo Mingyi ......"

The hand holding the cup of apricot smoke was another meal, and a few doubts appeared on her pretty face, Guo Mingyi, the head of the household, is a generation of virtuous, how could it be... Accused of all sorts of crimes?

"Even if you punish Guo Mingyi alone, a few days ago... Why does Guo Fu ......?"

When everyone heard this, they seemed to remember something, and they were silent for a while.

That day, the terrible screams of Guo Mansion still lingered in their ears, Zhumen was bleeding, straight into the street, the smell of crimson did not stop for several days, the soul of injustice was drifting, and the passers-by were cold on their backs.

"It is said that the prince was fascinated by the treasures piled up in the Guo Mansion, and he was used to being a tiger, so he let the guards wash the Guo Mansion in blood, how did he ......?"

The speaker paused suddenly, and some people around him became impatient.

What happened next? Say it quickly! ”

"Unexpectedly, when a woman fled in a panic, she broke the oil lamp, and none of the people in the house, except for Guo He, survived."

After finishing speaking, everyone present sighed that the world is impermanent, not to mention how the virtuous minister Guo Mingyi was framed, how true or false are the things in this world? What you say may not be true, what you see may not be true, just one sentence, even if the heart is like a beacon, what can you and I do?

The apricot smoke sipped the teacup slightly, looking at the gray sky and not knowing what he was thinking.
