Chapter 44: The Impossible to Quit
Du Hunchun admitted his mistake very sincerely, entered the lobby and knelt down to Du Shan, and lay down on the ground for a long time before turning to the county commander Song Chuanbai and the others, and asked: "When I came, I heard that some people in the Jiajin Sect were ambushing in the inn where the adults were staying and intending to commit murder, were you frightened?" ”
The young man knelt on the ground, no matter how he looked or what he was, he was far from being more imposing than Song Chuanbai, and he was completely at a disadvantage, but even if he knelt, he gave people a sense of uprightness, and he was very elegant.
Song Chuanbai was not affected by his good attitude, and replied: "You came here after hearing the news, right?" ”
Du Hunchun smiled briefly, then shook his head and replied, "No, you can't say that. When you came, I realized that this thing could not continue. It's just that Du was timid and brave by nature, and he didn't dare to admit it, so he dragged it out again and again, and saw that his father had been affected, and he had no shame to hide again, so he decided to come to the county government to surrender. When he came, he heard the news, which really made Du extremely frightened. ”
Song Chuanbai doesn't give face, and the county order wants to give face. The county magistrate didn't seem to really need to teach himself to sit behind the law table to interrogate people, so he asked in a stern tone: "What did you do?" ”
"He took over the Jiajin Sect in Guo Fu'an's hands and hid the Feiguang real estate everywhere, served as the head of the sect, and distributed Feiguang to the people in the sect for several years. Du deserves death for a felony, and I only beg the county order to see that I am not Du Shan's parent, and I am disobedient and unfilial, and I deceive my father and brother, so don't sit and adopt my family who has educated me for many years! After that, he bowed his head to the county order and bowed again.
The county commander was stunned and said: "So you really, really not...... Daddy's parent? ”
Du Shan suddenly coughed heavily, shutting up the county order in fright.
Sure enough, Song Chuanbai spoke, and there was a chill in his voice, but he actually imitated the tone and sentence of the county order: "So the county order is true, I really know Du Hunchun...... Secretly possessing the flying light and giving it to people for consumption? ”
The county commander immediately sighed in his heart, and he immediately said falsely: "How come, how... Why do you say that? ”
As the official of the people's parents, when the county magistrate heard Du Huichun's words, the first thing he was surprised was not that someone was hiding Feiguang under his nose and organizing a large number of people to gather to smoke it, but first sighed that other people's parents were short. The reaction of the county order is also convincing. I don't think I knew about this earlier, so it's not surprising, what else could there be? ”
Chen Tongsheng looked at the face of the county order, his eyes were staring at the ground, his face was blue and red, and he couldn't wait to go back to slapping himself directly before he said that sentence.
"Isn't it?" Song Chuanbai asked, "Sect Master Du?" ”
"I deceived the county magistrate," Du Hunchun said, "and he didn't know the truth." ”
At first glance, this sounds like a one-man job, but it's actually very vague. What did you deceive? Is the prefectural order completely unaware, or is it partially known? In fact, the most taboo thing on the county order is not to check Feiguang, as for whether he allowed the existence of the Gajin Sect because of his father's prestige, it is still secondary. But Song Chuanbai didn't compete with him on this point, he asked directly: "Where is Feiguang now, and how much is the margin?" ”
Chen Tongsheng saw that his goal was clear, and he couldn't help but think of Song Zhilan saying that Yang and Hou had been doing things like banning the Feiguang market and investigating and selling Feiguang, which could be said to be very diligent. But he is currently working in the Mi Tian Division, and the responsibility is not here, plus he doesn't look like he will make a profit from it, so I don't know why he is so obsessed. He even stopped on the way to Licheng for such things.
Du Huichun was not ambiguous, and immediately took out a booklet from his bosom and said, "This is the hiding place, and the record of my distribution of flying light over the years." There is a record of how much is distributed each time, and adults will know when they read it. ”
Song Chuanbai was not very happy with an expression of "give it to me, I don't bother to read it, I just want to listen to the oral report", took it over, took away the drawings sandwiched in it, and handed the booklet to Chen Tongsheng. Sure enough, the year and month and the number carefully marked in the booklet were recorded, but Chen Tongsheng took a general look, and the time for this Feiguang to be issued was about once every two to three months, but there was only the number on it, and as for who it was sent to, there was no mark, just a serial number. Based on what she has seen and heard in the past two days, there are by no means only so many people in the Gakin Sect who have received the Flying Light, and I am afraid that the serial number does not represent a certain person, but a certain number of small groups.
Song Chuanbai finished reading the map marking the location and was about to call Fan Rui in, Du Hunchun said, "It's just ......"
Song Chuanbai tilted his head and heard him say: "Among them, the two largest stocks, Feiguang has been stolen and cannot be found." ”
Chen Tongsheng suddenly had a very similar feeling when he heard it, yes, it was the same in Kyoto. Wherever the flying light goes, it will inevitably lead to many contentions in the open and in the dark, it is constantly being traded from all kinds of people, and people hide it in their own hands at the risk of beheading and dying, completely ignoring how many lives and consciences are sacrificed for the jars of dark liquid with a pale golden luster that have been dug up from the forbidden land and transported to the eyes.
Kushui Village.
As soon as this name came out, it was erased from Chen Tongsheng's mind, and he put away his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
"Besides you, do you know about these four locations?" Fan Rui had already walked up to him, Song Chuanbai raised his hand, didn't let him take the paper in his hand, and asked sideways.
Du Hunchun replied: "There are a few trusted people in the Gakin Sect, but I have asked, not them. ”
"Several, call them all." Song Chuanbai said: "I'll ask." ”
Du Hunchun maintained a plain, silent expression and confronted Song Chuanbai, without saying a word, until Song Chuanbai raised his eyebrows and showed surprise at the sudden disobedience, he said: "Eating Feiguang and shielding me to hide Feiguang is not a small crime." Du really couldn't explain them with confidence. ”
"How many died?"
Du Hunchun was stunned for a moment, and Song Chuanbai then asked, "Where are the living people?" Shouldn't you have killed them all? Or are you lying unconscious after being tortured somewhere, and adults from Kyoto must not find it? ”
"Why am I being tortured?" Du Hunchun blurted out: "I just wanted to save their lives, so I gave out flying lights for free, let alone killing people!" In order to find out the truth, Du deliberately delayed the release of Feiguang to those people, but their lives were never in danger! ”
Song Chuanbai always had a little smile on his face, condescendingly, squinting his eyes slightly at him. He has a very good face, handsome eyebrows, and tall mountain roots, which is more pleasing to the eye than everyone Du Hunchun has seen before. And it's likeable, with an intimate appearance, with eyes as black as paint, and there is no excessive frivolity and romance at all. Although the girl he brought with him was beautiful, her facial features were too deep, and her light-colored eyes gave people the impression of being very active and strong, which may not be very suitable for some people's hearts. Like the Chen family, who thought a little older, also said that Chen Tong grew up beautifully, but he was not dignified, unlike the orthodox ladies, and would be a difficult daughter-in-law in the eyes of the elders. Mrs. Chen even said in private that like Chen Tongsheng's appearance is to be a concubine for an adult's family, and to flatter the life of other people's husbands, if you really want to marry seriously, you still have to look gentle. Although it is biased, it also reflects that appearance actually affects the impression and feelings of others.
Song Chuanbai's appearance is not necessarily very intimidating, and he doesn't speak heavily, but his gentle, water-like momentum and means will slowly rise up with the conversation, silently surrounding the other party, until the unaware opponent exhales his last breath, and then drowns in panic.
Du Huichun felt uncomfortable in this gaze, he subconsciously held his breath, and Song Chuanbai said, "Oh? Saving lives? ”
"Yes," Du Hunchun said: "For some reason, the flying light left by Guo Fuan is stronger than the ordinary circulating flying light. Although the consumption of this flying light can last for two to three months, once the addiction occurs, it is enough to cause death. ”
He felt that Song Chuanbai was really facing himself at this time, and he said: "It means that once this kind of flying light is addicted, there is no possibility of quitting?" ”
"Nope. In the six months after Guo Fuan's death, eleven people died in Puyang City. They only said they were overeating, but I knew they weren't. Some of the dead had come together to plead with me, but I didn't want to take on the tricky stuff at the time, so I refused, and the next day, they all died. Du Hunchun said, "That's why I maintain the Gakin Sect. ”
"As for why I know where Guo Fuan hid Feiguang. As I said before, I am not Du Shan's parent, I was originally born to the concubine of the Guo family, and I was later kicked out and fostered in the countryside for a long time, and finally I was taken back to Puyang by Du Shan. I have a grudge against Guo Fuan and have been secretly observing him. It is also because I don't want to see the person I hate live a happy life, so I insist on finding some unsightly secrets that can comfort me. ”
Song Chuanbai asked, "What about your mother?" ”
"Sick and dead in the country. It is also a matter of life and death, and there is no way to do it. ”
"So you held a grudge and murdered Guo's father and Guo Fuan's wife successively, and finally killed Guo Fuan, didn't you?"
The lamps and candles jumped slightly, making a slight sound of bibo, and everyone in the hall was looking at Du Hunchun, a young man who was kind in the eyes of others, and committed a crime because he couldn't bear it in his own mouth.
He suddenly turned his gaze to Chen Tongsheng and asked, "Du is presumptuous, and suddenly wants to ask Miss Song, the adult introduced you to me before that you are also a concubine...... No, it doesn't matter if it's a concubine or not. If a girl had lived in a family for many years and was suddenly driven away, would she be so hateful that she would kill someone? ”
Chen Tongsheng: "? ”
He is really good at picking people, and asked a person who is most indifferent to the family, Chen Tongsheng's initial memory was on the battlefield, and later he trained in the dark department of the Mitian Division, and the life in the Chen family was really a typical day of being excluded and neglected by Miss Shu, but she was not a soft persimmon herself, but she didn't make trouble like Chen Die, she didn't suffer any bullying, and she didn't have too much affection for the Chen family, and she didn't even have resentment. On the contrary, in Chen Tongsheng's eyes, the Chen family is a wronged leader who raises a foreign girl who is not related to his own family. If you want to talk about feelings, you have to ask from the aspect of master-apprentice relationship.
Sure enough, Chen Tongsheng thought blankly for a moment and said, "No." ”
According to her character, why wait until she has been driven away for so many years before she does it?
But Du Hunchun thought to himself, sure enough, the girl's family is not as ruthless as Song Chuanbai, and she kills the whole family at every turn, what kind of hatred does this have to be?
