Gollum, Gollum ......"

The goldfish in the fish tank were still spitting bubbles happily, and when they saw that Mu Yan didn't have anything to eat, they swam to Cen Yin's side with their tails.

Cen Yin lowered his eyes and looked at the goldfish in the fish tank, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "It seems that this Suna still has a bit of prestige among the people of Huaizhou." With her leading the restoration, she was indeed able to gather many Huai people in Huaizhou, including the followers of the Holy Fire Sect...... After all, Dasheng's occupation of Huaizhou was still short. ”

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

This applies not only to the Central Plains, but also to other ethnic groups.

It will take a long time for Dasheng to assimilate Huaizhou, and it will be swallowed and eaten little by little, imperceptibly.

What Cen Yin thought of, Mu Yan could also think of.

Mu Yan squinted, and casually dialed the water in the fish tank, and a few goldfish were immediately attracted to it, and under the sun, the clear water rippling in the fish tank seemed to be rubbing broken gold, reflecting Mu Yan's pupils even brighter.

It's quiet inside and outside the house.

"Big brother, you say, will the driving force behind this person surnamed Xu be the same person who supports Jin Jiazhai?" Mu Yan guessed, and casually opened the folding fan in his hand.

Cen Yin's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he raised his eyes to meet Mu Yan's eyes.

With the tacit understanding between the two for many years, they can understand each other's meaning without words.

Although Mu Yan's speculation can be supported by no evidence for the time being, both of them feel that it is very possible, as far as the intentions of these two groups are concerned, their purpose is the same, they both hope that Dasheng will be as chaotic as possible.

Ah Yan's intuition is still so sharp. Cen Yin's thin lips were slightly curled, but between his eyebrows was as sharp as a sword.

Mu Yan and Cen Yin looked at each other and smiled, the corners of their lips showed a touch of interest, and said with a smile: "It's just right!" ”

If this is the case, it means that they have one more clue to investigate the people who colluded with Jinjiazhai, but it is an unexpected gain!

Mu Yan stood up and stretched lazily, originally planning to leave, but before the words could be spoken, he was stopped by Cen Yin: "Ah Yan, wait first." ”

Mu Yan blinked, sat back like a stream, and at the same time, following Cen Yin's gaze, he looked out, and saw a handsome young waiter in Tsing Yi walking quickly towards this side in the courtyard.

The little scorpion went out of the house and said a few words to the other party, and then came in with the little waiter in Tsing Yi.

The little waiter in Tsing Yi entered the back of the house, and when he saw that Mu Yan was also there, he cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at Cen Yin. It wasn't until Cen Yin nodded that he said with confidence: "Overseer, there is a flying pigeon from Longzhou, saying that the Jiang Xiao clan from Nankang City is dead. ”

Of course, Mu Yan still remembered what Jiang Xiaoshi said about Ren Yazi, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

The little waiter in Tsing Yi continued: "Four years ago, there was an epidemic in Nankang City, and Jiang Xiao's family was also infected with the epidemic, and the people disappeared that winter. Not only her, but also the family of the Jiang Family Medical Center also died seventy-seven eighty-eight. ”

In other words, the clues about Xiao Tian's life experience are broken.

Cen Yin waved his hand and sent the little waiter in Tsing Yi away, and the room fell silent.

"......" Mu Yan pursed his lips and was silent.

Although Mu Yan was already seventy percent sure of Xiao Tian's identity in his heart, as long as there was no solid evidence, it could only be regarded as speculation.

He can't take someone who is not sure if it is Chu Tingshu to the Chu family to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

The problem is, Chu Tingshu doesn't have a birthmark or anything......

Wait a minute!

Mu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered one thing, he remembered that Chu Qingyu had said that when the Chu family found Chu Tingshu in the previous life, Chu Tingshu was already dead, and only found a jade lock that he had brought with him since he was a child.

No matter how mysterious Chu Qingyu is, it is also a clue, even if there is the slightest possibility, he also wants to try it, and he also wants to continue to track it down.

Mu Yan put away the folding fan neatly, and said with a straight face: "Big brother, I want to meet Chu Qingyu." ”

A yellow-green leaf blew into the house from the window in the wind, and slowly swirled and landed in the fish tank, and the missing leaf with a mouth was particularly eye-catching on the clear water.

Cen Yin's thoughts spun quickly, and he immediately thought of the words they had heard from Chu Qingyu at the beginning, and got up and said, "Let's go." ”

If it weren't for Mu Yan mentioning it, Cen Yin would have forgotten about this Chu Qingyu, who claimed to have lived a lifetime.

When the little scorpion heard this, he hurriedly asked someone to arrange it.

The two of them walked unhurriedly towards the dungeon of the East Factory.

The breeze was gusting, and the courtyard remembered the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, one after another.

Cen Yin said as he walked: "I later asked someone to interrogate Chu Qingyu. ”

At the beginning, it was also because he was a little interested in Chu Qingyu's self-proclaimed rebirth I, so Cen Yin ordered the people under him to interrogate Chu Qingyu again, but the result of the trial was a bit ridiculous.

"However, some of the things Chu Qingyu said are not the same as the facts." Cen Yin said lightly, as if he didn't particularly care about this matter.

"How?" Mu Yan asked casually.

Cen Yin recalled: "She said that in October last year, Liu Zhiping, who was demoted to Yingyang Town, Yuzhou, as a county magistrate, would be recalled to Beijing to serve in the Hanlin Academy and edit the "General Catalogue of Qunshu". ”

She also said that in early March, a group of mountain bandits in Jinzhou would invade Jizhou and occupy Daxin City and Changfan City in Jizhou, and the prefects of both cities were killed, and the displaced people who fled flocked to the capital.

“……”

The few things Chu Qingyu said were all unrealized, and they were very different from the real situation, no, it should be said that what she said was fundamentally wrong.

For example, Liu Zhiping, he did not serve in Yingyang Town, Yuzhou at all, but served as the prefect in Xiangzhou, and he was not transferred back to the capital after that, and Han Qiao and Fan Xiaochen did not propose any innovations.

Besides, Jizhou is the same, up to now, Jizhou Daxin City and Changfan City are safe and sound, and the magistrates of these two cities are also alive and well.

Therefore, Cen Yin felt that Chu Qingyu's self-proclaimed rebirth or something was probably an attack of hysteria, and all she said was the truth she thought she had imagined out of thin air, and after that, Cen Yin was not interested in her at all.

Because Cen Yin lost interest, Chu Qingyu was thrown in the dungeon, and no one paid attention to her anymore, as long as the people below ensured that she was alive, anyway, Dongchang didn't care about raising one more Chu Qingyu.

As he spoke, the dungeon appeared in front of him.

The two Dongchang fans were guarding the door of the dungeon, and as soon as they saw Cen Yin coming, they immediately opened the door of the dungeon as quickly as possible.

"Squeak!"

A damp, musty smell wafted from the dungeon, and the walls on either side of the passage were filled with oil lamps, barely illuminating the way ahead in the dim light of the fire.

A few people walked down the narrow stone steps, and the little scorpion carried a lantern to lead the way, followed by two Dongchang fans.

After descending dozens of stone steps, they made a few more turns in the dungeon along the narrow path.

"Overseer, this is where the people are locked up."

In the respectful voice of the little scorpion, they came to a cell at the end, and the little scorpion personally unlocked the cell door.

The lantern in his hand glowed orange, illuminating the gloomy dungeon ahead.

The cramped cells were less than two feet wide, windowless, and the turbid air was tinged with a foul smell.

The woman sitting on the ground against the wall heard the sound of the door opening, and subconsciously looked up in the direction of the cell door, and her eyes narrowed uncomfortably because she had not seen the light for a long time.

The woman's dirty hair was combed loosely, the hair was messy, withered, her face was sallow, and her cheeks were obviously sunken, she was obviously not even double ten, but at this moment, she looked more than ten years older than her age, and her expression was dull, like a puppet doll whose soul had been removed.

Chu Qingyu has been locked up in this dark dungeon for almost a year, more than three hundred days and nights, this dungeon is always pitch black, dark, this year, she relied on the two meals sent every day to judge the time, and counted the days with the marks engraved on the wall.

As time passed, occasionally she felt that the time was meaningless, she seemed to have been completely forgotten, and it seemed that she would spend the rest of her life here, so what was the point of time!

When she heard the movement outside the cell, she thought it was lunch time, but she didn't expect the cell door to be opened, and what she didn't expect was a familiar figure entering her field of vision.

It's him!

Mu Yan actually appeared!

In an instant, Chu Qingyu's dim and cloudy eyes seemed to have been suddenly ignited with two clusters of flames, his pupils lit up, and he stared at Mu Yan with burning eyes.

Cen Yin followed Mu Yan and entered the cell.

Chu Qingyu looked at the two of them back and forth, her eyes became brighter, her cold heart gradually warmed up, and she felt that she had seen the dawn of hope again.

Since Mu Yan and Cen Yin appeared together, it means that what she said last time must have been verified, and they believed that they were reborn.

Therefore, Mu Yan must have felt that he was better than Duanmu Fei and could help him, so he came!

This is her hope, but also her opportunity, and this time, she will definitely seize this opportunity.

Chu Qingyu's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and he said to himself in his heart.

At the same time, the two Dongchang fans neatly brought two Taishi chairs and placed them side by side in the cell.

Mu Yan and Cen Yin sat down separately.

From beginning to end, Chu Qingyu's eyes kept staring at the two of them, without blinking, as if she was afraid that if she blinked, they would disappear.

The cell was silent, except for the sizzle of the burning torches echoing in the air.

Chu Qingyu was extremely nervous, his heart was pounding, faster and faster, and the heartbeat sounded heavily in his ears, as if something was hitting his eardrum.

Bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Chu Qingyu subconsciously held his breath, feeling that time seemed to slow down.

Mu Yan looked at Chu Qingyu who was sitting on the ground, and took the lead in speaking: "What you said about Chu Tingshu last time, let's talk about it in detail!" ”

He doesn't go around in circles, he gets straight to the point.

Chu Qingyu widened his bloodshot eyes in shock.

She thought that Mu Yan must have wanted to ask about the future when he came to see her, she thought that with Mu Yan's ambition, he would definitely want to know about Dasheng's future development, and he would definitely want to control the situation in his hands in advance......

Why is it that after a year, when he sees himself again, the first thing he asks is Chu Tingshu!

"Why Chu Tingshu again?" Chu Qingyu blurted out, her voice became hoarse and vague because it was burned a year ago, like coarse sandpaper grinding against the wall, which was both unpleasant and unrecognizable.

Chu Qingyu felt as if he had been stabbed again, and he had suppressed it for nearly a year, no, it was the frustration that had been piled up at the highest point since his rebirth at this moment.

Her heart was extremely complicated, with a sour, astringent, bitter taste, confused and angry, jealous and unwilling.

"Why?!" She said again in despair, every time she said a word, her throat was like a fire that hurt, but it couldn't withstand her heartache.

She couldn't help but want to go on, and couldn't help but want to vent the resentment and jealousy in her heart, "Don't you dislike Chu Qingci's short-lived ghost?" Don't you like someone else? Why do you still think about Chu Qingci's younger brother? ”

In this life, because of his rebirth, Chu Qingci died early, Mu Yan didn't like Chu Qingci like in the previous life, he fell in love with Duanmufei, why did he still look for Chu Tingshu!

Even if it was for the Chu family and his grandfather, Mu Yan would not forget it after a year, and even came to this place to see him!

Although Chu Qingyu's voice was vague and difficult, if she listened carefully, she could still understand what she was saying.

Mu Yan understood Chu Qing's words, his eyes became extremely deep, a trace of sharpness flashed under his eyes, and his right hand subconsciously clenched the handle of the fan in his hand.

It seems to be getting "interesting".

He has secretly liked Ah Ci since he was a child, and he has never told anyone, including his mother Anping, although his mother seems to have seen some ......

So, how did Chu Qingyu know?

Although Cen Yin said that some of the things Chu Qingyu said were different from the facts, at this moment, Mu Yan couldn't help but assume that Chu Qingyu was really reborn.

If this is the case, does Chu Qingyu mean that in the last life she knew, his words were gone......

Moreover, in the previous life, his Ah Ci did not get the opportunity to be reborn as Duanmu Fei.

Just thinking of this possibility, Mu Yan felt heartache, as if there were thousands of needles pierced in his heart.

He almost didn't dare to imagine that if Chu Qingyu said that her rebirth was true, then how did he come over in his previous life? How to spend the rest of your life in a world without Ah Ci!

What a desperate world it would be!

Mu Yan half-hung his head, his eyes stared at Chu Qingyu, who was less than a foot away from him, and pursed his lips, and the whole person faintly revealed a trace of deep desolation and pathos.

However, in just a few breaths, Mu Yan seemed to have gone back to his previous life and experienced the ups and downs of life.

If it turned out that Mu Yan was skeptical when he said to Chu Qingyu that she was reborn, at this moment, he believed a little more, rising from fifty percent to seventy percent.

In fact, Chu Qingyu said some things wrong, it may not be impossible to explain, Chu Qingyu was stupid at first glance, she was a short-sighted boudoir woman, how much did she know about the court!

Moreover, with a single hair and a move on her body, Chu Qingyu's rebirth changed her own fate, and at the same time, it would inevitably change the fate of others.

Mu Yan gradually calmed down, he looked at Chu Qingyu steadily, and said again: "Tell me about Chu Tingshu!" ”

"......" Chu Qingyu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was about to go crazy.

Reborn in a lifetime, she failed to be in the world, but fell to the point where she is now, is she reliving this life just to make a wedding dress for Duanmu Fei?!

Chu Qingyu felt as if something was choking her throat, making her breathless.

She thought of Duanmufei, thinking that Duanmufei would become the queen of Dasheng in the future, thinking that Mu Yan would be single-minded towards Duanmufei, and the jealousy and anger in her heart spread rapidly and wildly like wildfire on the grassland, burning to her limbs.

Her whole body felt uncomfortable as if it was about to explode, and a voice shouted in her heart:

Heaven is unfair!

She is not convinced, she is obviously no worse than Duanmu Fei, how can she let Duanmu Fei easily sit back and enjoy it!

A trace of madness flashed in Chu Qingyu's eyes.

She wants to let Mu Yan and Duanmu Fei separate, and she wants to create an irreparable rift between them.

She wants to drag Duanmufei into the quagmire, and she can't get up again!

Chu Qingyu's mind was booming, she couldn't think calmly at all, she just wanted to act on instinct, anyway, she had nothing, anyway, she was already useless, anyway, she had no scruples.

She must not let Duanmu Fei have a good time!

"Mu Yan, wake up......" Chu Qingyu spoke again, but he didn't say half a word about Chu Tingshu.

"The person you like should obviously be Chu Qingci!"

"In your previous life, you have always been single-minded towards Chu Qingci, you only have her in your heart, and no one else can enter your eyes. When you ascend the throne as emperor in the future, your throne will always be vacant, and you will stay for Chu Qing's resignation. ”

"Duanmu Fei is just a stand-in for Chu Qingci, his background, talent, appearance, and temperament are all inferior to Chu Qingci."

"If Chu Qingci was still alive, you wouldn't have looked at that cheeky Duanmu ...... coming to you."

Chu Qingyu shouted hoarsely.

That's right, it was Duanmu Feidong Shi Xiaofeng who learned Chu Qingci's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which attracted Mu Yan's attention.

That's right, it was Duanmu Fei who seduced Mu Yan.

Chu Qingyu's appearance became more and more crazy, more and more hysterical, the bamboo hairpin on the bun was thrown off, and the messy long hair fell down with it, like a madwoman

As Chu Qingyu poured out, Mu Yan's heart hurt even more, his expression remained unmoved, and his beautiful phoenix eyes were overflowing with grief.

Regarding Chu Qingyu's rebirth, he believed a little more.

Others don't know, but he knows best in his own heart that if Ah Ci didn't get this opportunity to be reborn as Duanmu Fei, he would indeed be the same as Chu Qingyu said, he would not marry a wife in this life, and his future position would always be vacant.

Mu Yan sat there with a stunned expression, at this moment, his ears could no longer listen to Chu Qingyu's words.

He was thinking about Chu Qingci and Duanmu Fei, two very different faces appeared in his mind, both of them smiled slightly at him, and then, the two faces overlapped together!

The only person he likes is her, and she is the only one.

Regardless of whether there is a past life or a present life in this world, what he can be sure of is that he is so lucky now!

He finds the person he likes the most, he is betrothed to her, and they are about to spend the rest of their lives together.

Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son.

There is nothing happier in this world.

Maybe it was God who took pity on him and returned Ah Ci to him.

Thinking about it, Mu Yan's heart became incomparably soft and sweet.

Chu Qingyu thought that the reason why Mu Yan was silent was because she was moved by her, and she was still saying excitedly: "Duanmu Fei is a thief at all!" ”

"She shouldn't have lived, her life was stolen, and you were stolen by him......"

Chu Qingyu said incoherently, crazy.

Mu Yan ignored Chu Qing's words, but Cen Yin couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted: "Ah Yan." ”

Cen Yin frowned slightly, looking at Mu Yan in confusion, and there were many doubts in his heart.

With his understanding of Mu Yan and Mu Yan's temperament, he is not a person who will be easily seduced by some Shinto words from others.

Over the years, Mu Yan couldn't fake the little girl's intentions of the Duanmu family, and Cen Yin, as a bystander, could also see it clearly.

If Duanmu Fei asked Mu Yan to take off the moon in the sky, he was afraid that he would not be able to say a word "no", and he couldn't wait to be good to the little girl with all his heart.

Mu Yan was called by Cen Yin, came back to his senses, turned his head and smiled at Cen Yin.

The complicated thoughts in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he was no longer entangled.

Why does he think so much, why do he think about the past life and this life, he just needs to remember one thing, God gave him a chance, God let Ah Ci come back, and he just needs to cherish this opportunity and cherish his Ah Ci.

Mu Yan looked at Chu Qingyu again, and said coldly: "Enough, I don't want to listen to these things, I just want to know about Chu Tingshu." ”

Chu Qingyu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, and he was a little uncertain. She said so much, did Mu Yan still not believe it? But if he didn't believe it, why would he ask her about Chu Tingshu.

"Mu Yan, listen to me......"

Chu Qingyu wanted to talk about Chu Qingci again, but Mu Yan directly interrupted her: "Since you don't want to say it, then let Dongchang ask again." ”

Chu Qingyu seemed to be dumb, and he was silent for a moment, and his face turned white, without blood.

She glanced at Cen Yin timidly, her body trembled, and she quickly withdrew her gaze.

She thought of when she was just sent here, the people in Dongchang interrogated her day and night, and she realized that it was nothing like her grandfather burning her throat, and there were many means in this world that she couldn't imagine at all, which could make life worse than death, what could make people survive but not death, and what could make people become worse than pigs and dogs......

Nearly a year has passed, and when she looks back at it now, she still feels cold and frightened, as if she has been targeted by a beast......

Chu Qingyu was afraid.

The flaming torches sizzled, and against the light of the jumping fire, her pupils were bright and dark, hiding a frightened soul.

"I say! I say! She said eagerly, her voice even more hoarse and ugly, "In the last life, the Chu family found Chu Tingshu's nurse Ma Shi in Longzhou next year, and the Ma family lost Chu Tingshu back then, so they didn't dare to return to Beijing." The Chu family followed the clues given by the Ma family for several months before they found northern Sichuan all the way, but Chu Tingshu was already dead, and only found the jade lock. ”

Chu Qing finished speaking in one breath, his breath panted slightly, and his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he had been on the road for a long time.

Jade locks. The index finger of Mu Yan's right hand gently rubbed the handle of the fan in his hand, sorted out his thoughts, and his eyes flashed.

The jade lock that Chu Qingyu said is the key.

The problem is that Mu Yan once deliberately asked the old lady Chu and his wife, asking them if he was wearing any special jewelry accessories on Chu Tingshu's body when he disappeared, and whether he had any characteristics such as birthmarks and scars on his body, but the answer of the old lady Chu and Mrs. Chu was no.

Because of this, it has added a lot of difficulty to find people, and the Chu family has been searching for so many years and has found nothing.

Mu Yan stared at Chu Qingyu tightly, and his eyebrows became cold and sharp.

"Grandfather Ling didn't say anything about Chu Tingshu having a jade lock." He directly said it and confronted Chu Qingyu.

What he meant was that she was panicking.

The little scorpion coughed lightly, and Chu Qingyu's delicate body trembled violently again, almost not slumping.

Her face turned even paler, and she quickly explained, "That's because grandfather doesn't know!" That jade lock ......"

She paused for a moment, her expression was very subtle, and she immediately continued: "That jade lock is Chu Qingci!" ”

When they found Chu Tingshu, Chu Tingshu had already fallen off the cliff and died, and his body was gone, only the jade lock was found. It was also because the jade lock was Chu Qingci that Chu Tingshu's identity was confirmed. ”

Later, my grandfather and grandmother said that it must have been before the eldest aunt and Chu Tingshu left, Chu Qingci secretly gave the jade lock to Chu Tingshu, because the Guanyin jade lock was specially asked for by her grandmother when Chu Qingci was three years old from the Zhenyuan Temple in Jiangnan. Chu Qingci has been wearing it close to his body since he was a child, and he has never left his body. ”
