Chapter 2 Cover your ears and eyes

Qin Yanhong kept glancing in the direction of the door, and when others talked to him, they also answered absent-mindedly.

Mr. lunch break has arrived, Sun Miao is counting the number of people with a book, if Shun Yu does not come again, he is afraid that he will be punished again.

Why haven't you come yet? Or did you see Zhou Hai late and simply go together? Zhou Haishi is not a good person, but he is afraid that his cousin will suffer, and when he comes, he has to mention it.

Yan Hong thought in a mess, and discarded the profit thoughts of the two of them before.

Just as he was about to call Qin Gui to urge, he heard Sun Miao calling Shunyu's name, shouted twice and didn't answer, and swept around with blazing eyes.

"You wait a while, he will go out for a little relief, and he will be back in a moment." Yan Hong snarled his throat.

"Who hasn't come?" Zhao Huanan came in from outside by chance, and when he heard half a sound, his face had changed.

“....... All have arrived, and no one has a future. As soon as Sun Miao's voice changed, Yan Hong knew that something had changed, turned his head to look, but saw Shun Yu flash in through the back door, except for the mud stains on the hem of his robe, he was no different when he left.

Even when he sat down, he smiled at him, very quietly.

Yan Hong also smiled, and Fang's heart, which still had nowhere to put it, suddenly fell back to its original place.

........

The Hanlin Academy sent people to the Qin Mansion to report that Shun Yu's entrance examination for the National Prison was set for two o'clock on April 1.

Liu immediately ordered the servants of the Xuanji Academy not to make noise, not to gather gambling to make trouble, and to walk lightly and silently from the west wing.

Qin Yanzhao never saw him again after he lost his temper in front of Shun Yu after he was drunk last time, and he was the new director of the Weaving Bureau, there were officials to flatter, colleagues to intersect, and he was busy with his own future inside and out.

The courtyard was exceptionally quiet.

Shun Yu likes this quietness, so he simply didn't go to the school, except for sleeping and eating, he only studied in the room and practiced eight shares.

When you are tired, you will look out the window and look at it, the spring color of the garden is very vivid, the willows are hanging and spitting green, the peach cherry blossoms contain Dan, and sometimes there are yellow warblers flying lightly and swiftly.

At noon on this day, she was concentrating on the post, and the girl reported that the fourth master was coming, and the voice fell, but listening to the sound of footsteps, Yan Hong walked in, his face was rarely dignified, and he asked: "Does my cousin know that Zhou Hai had an accident?" ”

Shun Yu put down the pen unhurriedly, pointed to the chair to sit down, and joked: "In order to prepare for the exam now, I really don't listen to things outside the window, and I only read the sages and sages." If you don't go out of this gate, and you don't go out of the second door, how do you know what happened to him? Isn't it the little Youling you like again? ”

"That's good!" Yan Hong sat down sullenly, picked up the tea bowl and ate eloquence: "This week, Hai's father, took a group of officials to enclose the ancestral house where the school was located, and the study was stopped, only saying that there was something strange in it that should be thoroughly investigated." Later, I asked Wei Xun privately, it was Zhou Hai who met you in the garden behind the school that day, and he fell ill when he went back, and he thought that the old disease was committed again, but he thought that his body was trembling at night, the corners of his mouth were salivating, his limbs were even colder, and he was talking nonsense. ”

He looked at Shun Yu and asked with some hesitation: "He was in the garden with you that day, but what was wrong, I am afraid that the people from the Criminal Department will also find you to interrogate, so prepare a statement in advance, so as not to panic when you get it, and be caught by them with any tricks." ”

Shun Yu stopped laughing, and said in a low voice: "You must have heard the rumors in the back garden, there is a wronged woman who was hanged, it turns out to be true." ”

Seeing that Yan Hong's face changed dramatically in an instant, she continued: "It was raining that day, Zhou Hai wanted to talk to me privately, and sent the guards to wait at the entrance of the garden. At this moment, I saw a woman with a cloak floating by, climbed the mountain rock, tied a buckle on the plum tree with white silk and hung herself, Zhou Hai somehow fell to the ground, the guards rushed over, and then looked at the woman, but there was no figure. ”

"Zhou Hai has always been not afraid of heaven and earth....... Yan Hong looked at him: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Shun Yu sneered: "I don't do bad things in my life, why don't you be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night!" Fu picked up the pen and wrote seriously.

The bright light outside the window shines through the shadows of the trees, through the cracks in the lilac screen window, the dust flies around her like insects, the room is gray and quiet, and Yan Hong feels cold all over his body.

He couldn't sit still, got up to leave, and turned back to the door and said vaguely: "If the criminal department asks you for interrogation, the female ghost will pass by with you, and she will say it carefully, I am afraid that I will come to investigate the old case again." ”

Shun Yu's jaw agreed, and he went with confidence.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Zhong sent the servants around him to invite, and Shun Yu secretly speculated in his heart what was going on, so he went unhurriedly.

After passing the archway, five or six maids stood under the eaves of the porch outside the study, and when they saw him coming, a few of them blushed and smiled, and some of them hurriedly went in to report, and after a while, the maids opened the curtains, and out of it came out an aunt, smiled and saluted, and took a group of people to leave.

Shun Yu just went in, Qin Zhong was standing in front of the bookcase, pounding the black and slimy medicinal materials with a copper pestle, and the room was full of fishy and bitter smells, and he rushed straight to his nose.

The box with the name of Huaxi grass painted in gold was removed from the large cabinet and placed on the table, she glanced at it, then turned her gaze away, and stepped forward to greet her.

Qin Zhong stopped, wiped his hands with a square towel, and walked to the chair in front of the window to sit down, looking at her deeply for a while.

Ban Yan said: "I will take the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital today to see Zhou Hai, the son of Lord Zhou of the Criminal Department, and see that he is wearing that jade wrench. According to the symptoms, the poisoning is already very deep, and I am afraid that I will not live for five days. Fortunately, the flowers and brooks have long been extinct, and the imperial doctor is not sure, so he does not dare to make a conclusion, so that I have room to recover. ”

"Shun Yu, what you have done is what kind of disaster it will bring to the Qin Mansion?" He accentuated his tone.

Shun Yu knelt down in his robe and looked up at him: "Uncle Qin, don't worry, if this calculation brings the slightest danger to the Qin Mansion, I will never dare." Zhou Hai is an official family, and it is really good for Longyang to come to see me, the emperor is now jealous of this, and he has just dismissed a few Beijing officials because of this, Zhou Chen is afraid of telling the truth, and he will cover it up and not announce it, so he can only seal the school and search for it, and he must not be able to find out why.

"Coincidentally, there is a grievance in the garden after that, Zhou Haikou is talking nonsense, but it can be proved that the fifth sister came to ask for her life, they have ghosts in their hearts, and they can't find out the evidence, they will lead to the ghosts and monsters, as for the jade wrench, it is Zhou Chen's father and son who confiscated the things that the Tian family swallowed, how dare you make a noise, many unsightly things, even if Zhou Hai is dead, this is also a headless case."

Qin Zhong was silent for a long time, and sighed: "You are still simpler, the survival of the court has its own difficulties, and the courtier's heart is inevitably treacherous." Even if Zhou Chen wants to calm things down, others may not be willing to let go, naturally, you will be in the whirlpool and can't extricate yourself, have you ever thought about it? ”

Shun Yu said lightly: "I've thought about it!" Because of this, Zhou Chen didn't dare to make trouble. ”

Qin Zhong was speechless, looking at her more and more frightened, this is obviously still a little girl with tender skin, her eyes are watery, but when is the pool bottomless.
