Chapter Ninety-Four: The Death of the Maison
Guiyang Mansion.
After dozens of days of rain and haze, the canna outside the window was wet with rain, and the leaves swayed with a faint luster.
Duan Changge stood under the window with his hands in his hands, the window was wide open, and the raindrops hit his cheeks mercilessly, falling on the tips of his hair and clothes. The rain slowly flowed down Junyi's face, and from a distance, it seemed like tears were flowing from the corners of his narrow eyes.
Ling Ji stepped forward slowly, sighed, and reached out to close the window, Duan Changge's expression did not move, but he said lightly: "Open it." ”
Lingji's subordinates paused, turned their heads to look at the man in front of them who she had loved for five years, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.
Duan Changge didn't look at her, his eyes fell on the outside of the void, but his mind didn't know where it was.
"She, she's gone, the cliff is unfathomable, it must be ...... There is no life. ”
Ling Ji couldn't help but speak in the end, Duan Changge turned a deaf ear, and didn't seem to hear Ling Ji's words. At this time, the rain outside the window was a little heavier, and it dripped with water droplets on the banana leaves, and the dark light outside coated the banana leaves with a layer of glass-like brilliance, with a little dazzling red in the middle.
Duan Changge couldn't help but look nervous, and poked his head out of the window in surprise, completely ignoring the raindrops falling on his crimson robe.
"What's wrong?" Lingji stretched out her palm to catch the rain on his head.
"It's actually blooming......" Duan Changge looked at the red, his expression was a little dazed, and he muttered.
Lingji's gaze then fell, and the overlapping heavy leaves, there was indeed a delicate red in the center: "Canna is not in bloom at the moment. ”
Duan Changge hooked his lips and smiled, the gloom between his eyebrows seemed to be dissipated once, and his expression was a little excited: "There are always some impossible possibilities in this world. ”
Lingji heard the deep meaning of his words, and pursed her lips and said nothing.
There was a sudden knock outside the door, and Cangli's voice came from the door: "Lord Duan, my subordinates have something to report." ”
"Come in." Duan Changge turned around slowly, raised his eyelids lightly and said lightly to the neighbors on the side: "You are not well, go back and rest." ”
Ling Ji nodded obediently, turned around and walked towards the door, bowed slightly towards Cangli who stepped into the door, leaned over slightly and opened it gently with the green bamboo umbrella at the door, and walked towards the rain outside the door.
Cangli closed the door, walked to Duan Changge's side, and said in Weifu: "Lord Duan, the person who went to the capital to inquire about the news has sent a message. ”
Duan Changge slowly walked from under the window to the side of the bed, sighed lightly, took off the slightly wet robe on his body, threw it on the hanger next to the bed, and took out a crimson wide-sleeved robe and put it on his body.
Cang Li secretly organized the language on the side: "That day, after Wang Xin captured Wang Zuonong, he took him to the front of the palace, but he refused to kill Han, Bai Girl and Bai Lord. Wang Xin said to the saint that the white girl told Wang Zuonong the whereabouts of the silver left by his father before she died, but he still refused to admit it. ”
After a pause, he continued: "On the second day, Wang Xin caught Liu Suifeng, he was pierced through the heart by Jin Wuwei's arrows in the escape, and he captured Wang Zuonong for meritorious service, and now he has been transferred to the Criminal Department and promoted to a grade. ”
Cangli looked up at Duan Changge's face as he spoke, and saw that his expression had not changed, and he was still dressing, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Li Chengdu went back to Guiyang a few days ago, but Qiao Chu didn't know what to do, in Li Chengdu's words, on the day of the Bai Girl's accident, when Jin Wuwei blocked the street in the capital, Qiao Chu accidentally collided with Jin Wuwei, and was hacked to death with a knife, and the body was thrown in the mass grave. ”
Duan Changge's eyes did not have a trace of waves, nor did he speak, he was still wearing clothes, and Zhang Cangli didn't know what to say when he was by his side.
"Is there her body under the cliff?" After a long time, Duan Changge suddenly spoke.
Cang Li's body trembled and bowed and said: "Our people have gone to check, and the saint has also sent Jinyi Wei to investigate, it was Ji Bangyue who went in person, and under the abyss is a deep pool, there are many undercurrents, and I haven't found the body of the white girl." ”
Duan Changge's hand was tied to his waist, his expression stiffened, and he muttered in a low voice: "Shentan ......"
Cangli was a little uneasy, and hurriedly whispered: "The white girl is both brave and brave, this time not only caught Wang Zuonong, but also made the saint suspect that he had something to do with Lord Bai's death, I don't think it will be so easy to die, maybe it is her plan, maybe the adult doesn't have to ......."
Before he finished speaking, Duan Changge's body trembled involuntarily, and the unfinished crimson belt slipped off his hand, falling down like a plum blossom, and his eyes were slightly red: "She can't swim." ”
Lin Zhifan has been hiding outside Wang Zuonong's door to monitor him for a while, and still has found nothing, since Wang Zuonong was placed under house arrest, it seems that all contacts have been cut off, Lin Zhifan can't help but be annoyed, I really don't know what that girl thinks, even her life is gone, but she didn't catch a trace of the person hiding in the shadows, and she was not allowed to kill Wang Zuonong to take revenge, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, several fierce and killing intent were entangled in the bottom of his eyes a few times, the knife in his hand tightened and tightened, and finally turned into a low sigh.
The capital seems to be silent, some of the undercurrents have stabilized, the lake seems to be dead silent, no matter how big a stone is thrown, it seems that it can't stir up the waves, but some clues have been revealed, and they can no longer be closed.
For example, Bai Jinghang's case, there was another boom in the capital, people were talking about the strangeness of this case in the streets and alleys, Bai Jingxuan's lifelong loyalty must have been killed by a traitor, his daughter Bai Hanyan redressed as a man, not afraid of hardships and dangers, and before he died, he made the face of his father's enemy public, that is, the current household servant Wang Zuonong, some people also came out to speculate, will this case not be so simple? There must be a case within a case, and the person behind it must be a high-ranking official in the current dynasty.
Even, the storyteller of the teahouse and wine shop actually made up a story, telling it with a picture and color, which was passed on by word of mouth, and for a while, the case of Bai Jingxuan being wronged was known to everyone.
In the end, Emperor Yongle on the Jinluan Palace finally couldn't sit still, and put Wang Zuonong in the prison of the Criminal Department, and after the trial of the three divisions, he finally admitted to framing the case of Baijinghang, assassinating the former Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lin Zhifan and other major cases, which made people resentful. After forcing Zhongliang to death even more, the women did not let the white cold smoke of the eyebrows.
But Wang Zuonong refused to admit that he knew the whereabouts of tens of millions of taels of silver, and the saint was furious, but he did not put him to death, but put him in a secret prison, and ordered the former household servant Lang Baijing to hang the name.
For a while, the people's hearts were wanted, and everyone praised it, but the ten million taels of silver still didn't know what to do.
= Autumn arrives as promised, and the willow tops on the moon.
Drunken Flower Building on the shore of Qiushui Lake, there is an incomparably graceful figure on the hook railing platform, a charming dance of a shocking dance, such as the weak waist of the willow, covering the delicate skin under the snowy fine yarn, ten pieces of jade armor are flying red, and the woman's smooth and thin back is like the most beautiful canvas in the world, with brilliant and splendid flowers tightly ironed, making her dance more impressive.
Lin Zhifan sat in the private room on the second floor, looked down at the graceful figure downstairs, chuckled and took a few sips of wine, his eyes fell on the flower on the woman's back, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and at this moment, he heard the whispers of the two men in the private room next door.
"Look at the flower on the back of that dancing girl is so wonderful, it is really very romantic under the red light." One of the men couldn't help but admire.
The other also chuckled in and chimed in: "Yes, not only the girl in this building likes the painter's brushwork, but even I, a vassal and elegant layman, like it tightly." ”
Before the man could finish his words, another person hurriedly interrupted him, raised his hand and pointed downstairs and said quickly, "That painter has come out, presumably just finished putting on makeup for that girl." ”
Lin Zhifan followed the man's point, but saw a flower-like girl in the crowd, blooming in the hall, a pair of eyes hidden behind the veil with a clear smile, a green silk pulled into a weeping cloud bun, with a hairpin of plain green caused by Luo Juan, holding a painting box in his hand, and walking towards the door of the drunken flower building.
"I didn't expect this artist to be a woman! Looking at the Gongbi is Longtou flowing water, flowing away from the mountain, like butterfly wings, it is really wonderful, but I don't know if this appearance is Yan or Yuan? ”
The man looked yearning, but Lin Zhifan sneered, dropped the wine glass, raised his legs and walked towards the staircase, slowly went downstairs and brushed the dancing girl on the stage, completely ignoring the dancing girl who suddenly looked back, put her hands on her cheeks, and smiled, but whispered to the woman who was walking towards the door: "Fushu girl, please stay." ”
The woman who was called Fu Shu paused at her feet, looked back at the man walking towards her, lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "It turned out to be Lin Gongzi." ”
There was a wind blowing at the door through the delicate plain white dress of a woman named Fusu, fluttering in the wind, and the skirt had a pair of butterflies. Bright and charming, ready to fly.
Lin Zhifan walked up to her and looked up and down, and chuckled: "Long time no see, I don't know if I have the honor to talk to the girl." ”
Fu Shu raised his eyebrows like Yuan Dai and smiled: "Okay, Childe, please come with me." ”
After that, she turned around and walked towards the door, Lin Zhifan followed with a smile, but before the two of them walked out of the door, they were stumbled by the woman who suddenly broke in, and the painting box in her hand was taken off, and she saw that she fell to the ground, but Lin Zhifan behind her hurriedly grabbed it, and the other hand held Fu Shu's arm.
He raised his eyes to look at the woman who had broken in, but saw her figure flash, jumped on the stage like a wild cat, and desperately knocked the dancing girl down, stretched out his hands and grabbed her neck and choked her fiercely.
The two of them were startled, and when they looked at the sudden change, they all stopped.
There was a mess in the drunken flower building, the pianist and the musician fled in all directions, the old bustard cried and shouted for someone to come up to the stage and dragged the two away, the woman who broke in was pushed into the corner by her pressed hands, and the dancing girl was lying on the ground unconscious.
The old bustard stepped forward and stretched out his hand to probe the dancing girl's snort, but when he saw that he was no longer breathing, the old bustard couldn't help crying and shouted: "Murder, the daughter-in-law of the squire of the criminal department came out to kill someone!" ”
