"Evidence? I'm the best proof of that! ”

Du Ruoxi responded quietly, but the words were loud.

"If it weren't for Mrs. Sun, how could I end up with a ruined family? It took me almost a decade to get my revenge. This is my personal vendetta, and although I have broken the law, I have no regrets. Du Ruoxi glanced at me and saluted, and I nodded, which was regarded as greeting her.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is here, I also said the same, Taiwei Sun has done too much evil, and there are countless lives in his hands, and even the people of Luyuan have more than 100 people died in his hands, but if you want to convict him, it is too difficult."

I deeply understand, after all, the position of Tai Lieutenant, except for the emperor's order to check, there are generally a few people who dare to move. Even so, I thought to myself that I could at least try to sue the royal court.

Du Ruoxi seemed to guess my thoughts, and explained on the side: "As for the imperial complaint, I haven't thought about it, but the emperor has no real power in his hands, and the queen mother and the princess are of the same clan and have a close relationship, I'm afraid that before I publish the complaint to the world, my soul will return to Huangquan." ”

I nodded in understanding.

Gu Shaoqing on the side couldn't help laughing, "It's high-sounding, it's not because someone in the court helps you, otherwise you would have succeeded so easily?" Gu Shaoqing said with a look of disdain: "The ghost knows what you and the minister of the court have done. ”

"Fart!" When Du Ruoxi heard Gu Shaoqing's words, he immediately became angry. "Say I can, say that I can't do it!" Du Ruoxi picked up the Hidden Blade on the ground, came directly to Gu Shaoqing, and pressed the knife against his neck.

"Gu Shaoqing, when I saw you that day, you were also an ambitious person, how did you become like today?"

The corners of Gu Shaoqing's mouth twitched, revealing a bitter smile. "I have been a county magistrate for more than ten years, and I have always been conscientious and conscientious, but my official position is getting farther and farther away. Ambition, hmph, has long become a burden, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so embarrassed. ”

"There may be times when the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty is unfair, but this requires you to stick to your ambitions and promote him to improve day by day." I argued on the side: "We have met many county officials like you along the way, and some people have not complained even if they are tired and dying, and still have the people in their hearts, why don't you look at such a light, and keep an eye on a little gloom and not disperse the light?" ”

"Am I doing less? Isn't it enough to shine on the court? Gu Shaoqing asked rhetorically.

"Could it be that your original ambition was to enter the court, not for the common people?" I shook my head and said, "If that's the case, then you've been misguided from the beginning." ”

Gu Shaoqing pondered my words, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, "Maybe I'm really wrong, but I have never persecuted a Da Zhou people, except for ...... You. Gu Shaoqing finally showed tears of remorse.

In fact, from seeing the orchids and plants in the yard, as well as the furnishings, calligraphy and paintings in the house, I knew that Gu Shaoqing's love for Du Ruoxi was not broken.

"If you really hold a grudge against me, and you kill me, I will have absolutely no complaints." Gu Shaoqing looked up at me, with a look similar to a request, "Her Royal Highness the princess should not hold Ruoxi responsible, but Ruoxi, please forgive Ruoqing, she will only persecute you because of me, please read that she is your own sister, and spare her." ”

"Gu Shaoqing, do you really have true feelings for her?" Du Ruoxi held the knife and asked a little sadly.

Gu Shaoqing turned around and forgot to glance at Du Ruoqing, and said helplessly: "Maybe it was a mistake at first, but in the past month, Ruoqing has used the Red Sleeve Village to help me do a lot of things, and besides, she already has my child, how can I give up her!?" ”

Hearing that Du Ruoqing was pregnant, Du Ruoxi's eyes became complicated, and the short sword in his hand was loosened, at this moment, suddenly Du Ruoqing behind him took out a hidden blade from his sleeve, held it tightly, and was about to stab at Du Ruoxi, who knew that after Gu Shaoqing heard the movement, he immediately pushed Du Ruoxi away and used his body to block it, only to hear a "poof", the hidden blade stabbed into Gu Shaoqing's back.

"Shaoqing, you, why can't you forget her?!" Du Ruoqing hurriedly rushed forward to support Gu Shaoqing, Du Ruoxi looked up and saw that the corner of Gu Shaoqing's mouth was bleeding, and he expected that this sword should be deep enough.

Gu Shaoqing leaned on Du Ruoqing's arms and said dotingly: "Ruoqing, although you have the appearance of your sister, you still have a little bad character after all. You shouldn't have lied to me that night, otherwise we wouldn't have come to this point, and you still have to change your temper in the future, without me, I'm afraid few people can stand you. ”

As he spoke, Gu Shaoqing's breath weakened, and I motioned to Sun Zheng to check it. Sun Zheng came closer, took his pulse, then looked at the sword wound again, and shook his head at me.

"Stick in the back of the heart, it won't last long."

Hearing what Sun Zheng said, the two Du sisters shook their heads in unison.

Du Ruoxi was surprised, "How could it be so coincidental?" ”

Du Ruoqing regretted, "How could it be so coincidental!" ”

Gu Shaoqing saw Gu Shoucheng at the door, he waved his hand and motioned for him to come over. Gu Shoucheng saw that he was seriously injured, and thought about his wish, so he stepped forward.

"General Gu, I'...... I know you've always held a grudge against me, but at the time, ...... The river flooded, and the county government's public grain ...... It's all used for disaster relief, and there's really nothing left. Gu Shaoqing slowed down and said softly: "The knot between us, let's untie it." ”

Hearing what Gu Shaoqing said, Gu Shoucheng showed a layer of guilt on his face. "I see, I really blamed you, it seems that it is really as the princess said, you should understand the situation before making a conclusion."

Gu Shaoqing showed a satisfied smile, he took the hands of the Du family sisters and put their two hands in front of him.

"Shake hands with your sisters, too, and ...... Don't talk about each other, but help each other. ”

Gu Shaoqing's voice became more and more fragile, and he hurriedly poured two breaths, using up his last bit of strength.

"Ruoxi, can you forgive me, this, for the last time, okay?"

Du Ruoxi nodded, Gu Shaoqing leaned on Du Ruoqing's arms, revealing a serene expression, only a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, proving that he really loved and hated.

"Gu Shaoqing, Shaoqing, you can't die, you die, what should I do with the child in my belly!" Du Ruoqing hugged Gu Shaoqing's corpse and knelt on the ground crying. Du Ruoxi wanted to reach out to touch her, but Du Ruoqing dodged it.

In my mind, I feel that the current situation is a bit tricky.

First, the county order is gone, and Feng County has no official in charge of the order. The second is that the two sisters of the Du family, one killed the captain and the other killed the officials of the DPRK and China, and they all had their lives on the line, so what should they do? And who should deal with it?

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I was not qualified to ask you for anything, but because Gu Shaoqing died to save me, I should fulfill his wish before he died." Du Ruoxi said shallowly: "Can you let Mr. Ruoqing have a child?" ”

"This ......" I also made a difficulty, and I didn't have an idea for a while, but Ye Liuyun on the side smiled: "What's so difficult about this, find a place, put him under house arrest, and after the production is over, the new official or the state government yamen can be convicted." ”

I thought to myself, "It's just that where is there such a place, where can someone take care of her?" ”

"Red Sleeves." Du Ruoxi said lightly: "There is such a place in Red Sleeves Village, and there are people there who can take care of her, calculate the time, they should be there soon." ”

As he spoke, a few crisp voices came from outside the door.

"Owner, we are blinded." After a few little girls came in to salute, they immediately pleaded guilty to Du Ruoxi: "Please also ask the owner of the village to punish me for the crime of ignorance." ”

I stared at a few little girls, and found Cuiyun and Yutang I met in Qi County, and the doubts in my heart were suddenly solved.

"Cuiyun, Yutang, it turns out that you are also from the Red Sleeve Village! In this way, when you were in Qixian, you deliberately told me a story, right? ”

When the two little girls saw that I was present, they hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. Du Ruoxi got up and came to my front and saluted: "The matter is urgent, and I also want to remind Her Royal Highness the princess that day, and tell her what kind of person Zhang Xian is." We have already informed Lord Song Lancheng of the relevant clues. ”

"Oh, so you're the one who's the mystery!" Sun Zheng said in surprise on the side.

"Yes, it's a pity that the princess was injured in the end, so I ask Her Royal Highness the princess for forgiveness." As he spoke, Du Ruoxi bowed and saluted. I hurriedly stepped forward to hold it up, "The owner of the village is serious, if it weren't for the antidote provided by the owner, I'm afraid, I would have died in Qi County." ”

I looked up at Ye Liuyun, the corners of Ye Liuyun's mouth were lightly raised, and he nodded slightly.

Sure enough, at that time, he knew about the existence of the Red Sleeve Village, but he didn't expect that his assassination was also cut off by the Red Sleeve Village.

"Her Royal Highness the princess was injured, and the Red Sleeve Village is also to blame, and it is natural to offer the antidote." Du Ruoxi said lightly: "It's just that we haven't been able to protect my benefactor's family after all." ”

"Benefactor?" I was shocked again, "Could it be that my father was kind to the owner?" ”

Du Ruoxi nodded, "Actually, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also my benefactor." ”

The more Du Ruoxi said that the more confused I became, and at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me, but an unfamiliar call was made.

"Mother!?"

I turned my head, it was none other than Du Ruo.

Du Ruo and Du Ruoxi slowly approached, and finally hugged each other in tears.

"My child, I didn't expect us to finally meet." Du Ruoxi sobbed.

Sun Zheng talked to Ye Liuyun on the side and said: "This is really bizarre, even more exciting than the story in the book. ”

Ye Liuyun was still frowning, presumably still worrying about how he was cut off.

After the mother and daughter calmed down, I stepped forward.

"No wonder Du Ruo's mood was wrong just now, it turned out that he found someone who looked similar to his mother."

When the mother and daughter saw me coming, they parted ways and saluted me again.

"A few years ago, when I crossed the river with Du Ruo, I encountered danger, and it was Prince Zhao who saved the little girl Du Ruo, and it was rare for the princess to fall in love with the little girl, so that she could be by your side for so many years." Du Ruoxi took Du Ruo's hand and said with great kindness: "I also want to go to Kyoto to meet this child, but I am afraid of causing trouble, so I have been dragging it out." ”

"I see." I suddenly remembered that the scene when my father brought Du Ruo back that day was indeed covered in mud and water. "It's rare for your mother and daughter to recognize each other, it's gratifying, but it's just ......" I have another difficulty in my heart, I don't know whether to inform the state government yamen about the assassination of the Taiwei in Hongzhizhuang.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, although we want to assassinate the Captain, but unfortunately, the Captain is not our Redsleeve Zhuang's blade." Du Ruoxi said lightly: "This is not our excuse to shirk our responsibility, this is the case." On the same day, Du Juan and Du Yu went to the restaurant under pseudonyms, preparing to poison the wine to poison Mrs. Sun. ”

Du Ruoxi turned his head and handed over the passage to the two red-sleeved Zhuang disciples on the side, who were Du Juan and Du Yu who were pseudonyms Cuiyun and Yutang that day.

"Hearing the shouts from upstairs to catch the assassin, the restaurant panicked, a group of guards ran down from the upstairs, Du Yu and I were worried that the poisonous wine in our hands would be discovered, so we took the opportunity to pour it into the flower pot."

"Then we took advantage of the panic of the crowd and fled together, and this is how it happened."

After listening to the explanations of the two disciples, I glanced up at Ye Liuyun and found that his brows were furrowed even deeper.

Du Ruoqing, who was controlled by the disciples of the Red Sleeve Village on the side, suddenly laughed when she heard this, "Haha, sister, you still haven't been able to avenge the blood feud back then, haha." ”

"Send her to another courtyard and keep her, and wait for the governor to be sent by the state government yamen to convict her." Du Ruoxi commanded. Several older disciples stepped forward and escorted Du Ruoqing out.

"Sister, do you think that if you make up this lie, this princess will believe you? You won't end well after all, haha......"

Du Ruoqing was almost in a state of madness, and only when she looked back at Gu Shaoqing who fell to the ground before leaving the door of the house, she showed a trace of sadness.

Du Ruoqing is right, although I believe that Du Ruoxi is not lying, but there is no real evidence, how can I prove it?

At this time, Ye Liuyun stepped forward and replied, "I can prove that there was no wine jug on Taiwei Sun's table that day, and I didn't see these two girls. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but say angrily: "You yourself are still confused, and you still prove others." ”

However, I still believed them, because before there was no evidence in the case, everyone was innocent.

Gu Shoucheng arranged for someone to carry Gu Shaoqing's body out, and then wrote a report to the yamen of the state capital, and also reported his personal vendetta and persecution of Yasukuni and Xinyue State business travel. Of course, he has been vague about the Red Sleeve Village.

I persuaded Du Ruoxi to dissolve the Red Sleeve Village and take Du Ruo to live a normal life. Du Ruoxi was a little hesitant.

"This village is full of lonely and helpless children, if the red-sleeved village is there, they still have a place to go. If the Redsleeve Village is dispersed, they may return to their original state of wandering. ”

As for Du Ruo, she still insisted on going to the crescent with me.

"I'm going to the princess's wedding."

I was moved in my heart, but there was a ray of loneliness in my sight, which never lingered.

Ye Liuyun.
