Song Yitaohou was on the side, and when he heard this, he immediately cried and rushed to the ground: "You poisonous woman who kills a thousand knives!" My poor sister knows what you are doing, and if you want to hate her like this, it is not enough to kill her, but to blind her eyes and deaf her ears, so that she cannot speak or hear! You're a beast! ”

The old lord Bo drank and shouted in the hall: "It is strictly forbidden to roar in the public court!" You can also leave, and if there is progress in the case, I will send someone to inform you. ”

Seeing Song Yitao leaving, Lu Yun hurriedly said: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with our shopkeeper, even if this silver needle is discovered by me first." ”

The old lord stroked his hand: "There are many suspicious points in this case, I will definitely find out, and I will definitely not wronged a good person, nor will I let go of the bad people who do evil." ”

……

Outside the yamen, Gui Zhi waited for a long time with Lin'er in his arms, and when it was not dawn, Xinning had just had a rain, and now there was water on the road, and Gui Zhi's shoes and socks were also soaked, and the cold air came up from under his feet.

saw Song Yitao leave, and he couldn't wait for Jin Xiaolou to come out.

She was anxious, but at that time they came out of the mountain in a hurry, Guizhi had nothing to do at the moment, so she had to pull out her hairpin, hand it to the official at the door, and ask about the situation inside.

The official held the hairpin and looked at it again, and saw that the fritillary pearl at the end was shining, so he put it in his arms and said to Huang Guizhi: "The girl is holding the child and go back quickly, it is windy outside, maybe there will be rain for a while, and you may not be able to wait for someone to come on three or five days." ”

"This ...... Why is that? Huang Guizhi was even more anxious.

The official lowered his voice and said slowly: "The boss of Shanji is a first-class suspect, and he won't be able to get out before this case is solved." ”

Seeing that the people in front of him were so panicked that they were sweating, the official continued: "Don't be too anxious, you can't be locked up in prison if you haven't been convicted yet, our young man is a benevolent person, and he can't stand any grievances while eating and drinking in this yamen!" ”

Gui Zhi's heart was half relieved, and the other half was still worried about Jin Xiaolou.

Looking around, the streets are crowded with pedestrians.

Shanji closed the door, and the guys all went home, and Zhou Shuli went back to his hometown early yesterday morning to visit, and he hasn't come back yet.

For a time, Guizhi had nowhere to go, no one to find.

This little Xinning, all eyes are full of raw and cold faces, the cold wind is whistling, cold from head to foot, Gui Zhi carefully covered Lin'er, trying to find a restaurant to stay.

After all, I didn't sleep all night last night, and it was time for Lin'er to eat again, but she was hungry, but she couldn't starve the child.

Not long after walking along Xiangshui Street with the child in her arms, a soft sedan chair with pink flowers and satin curtains stopped in front of her.

The tassels on the eaves of the sedan chair swayed non-stop, and the sedan chair man with a beard on his face bowed down to Huang Guizhi and said, "Girl, please get on the sedan chair." ”

Gui Zhi was stunned, a little inexplicable, hugged Lin'er tightly, lowered his head, bypassed and walked forward, just as they recognized the wrong person.

Who knew that the sedan chair also followed, and stopped in front of Huang Guizhi again, blocking her way.

"Who are you?" Now Gui Zhi understood that the sedan chair was indeed coming for herself, she raised her head and asked the sedan chair man suspiciously.

There was no expression on the face of the sedan chair man, and it was still a sentence: "Girl, please get on the sedan chair." ”

Gui Zhi was a little angry, in broad daylight, how could there be such an unexplained person who let people get on the sedan chair, he was annoyed for a while, and turned around and wanted to leave.

I just turned my back, but I heard the sedan chair man behind me say again: "The girl can't walk far if her shoes are wet, so it's better to believe me once and go with me." ”

Huang Guizhi was shocked, turned his head sharply, and looked at the sedan chair man.

The palanquin man's expression did not change, bowed down, and waited for the person in front of him to get on the sedan chair.

This sentence is clear to the ear, and Gui Zhi remembers it clearly.

At the beginning, in order to find herbs for Gao Lang, she went into the mountains and forests in the dark, and accidentally stumbled and almost fell off the high cliff.

In a pinch, it was the man who rescued himself.

The torches that were clearly extinguished illuminated the branches and leaves in the woods, and the shadows were deep or dark.

Somehow, she was held in her arms, ashamed and annoyed, struggling to go on.

The man's voice rang in his ears.

"The girl can't go far if she loses her shoes, so it's better to believe me once and go with me."

Gui Zhi was already physically and mentally exhausted, and he was frightened, and as soon as he heard this, his heart suddenly calmed down, and he fainted as soon as he closed his eyes.

When I woke up again, I was in the camp in the middle of the forest......

From that day on, until now, Katsura Zhi has never seen that person again, it was really a dream, and when he woke up, it dissipated like smoke.

Gui Zhi took a deep breath, stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the soft sedan chair, and sat in.

I don't know how long I sat in the sedan chair, Lin'er woke up twice, and coaxed him to fall asleep twice, and the sedan chair fell.

Outside, the palanquin man said loudly: "Girl, it's here." ”

As soon as Guizhi got out of the sedan chair, he saw a big ship parked on the shore.

The river was turbulent, and because of the rain that had just fallen, the water was muddy and fishy, and a damp smell could be smelled in the distance.

Look at the direction of the river, it should be the Yicheng River.

The Yicheng River flows around Xinning, and passes through Xinning from south to north, and weeping willows are planted on the embankment in Xinning City, but this section of the embankment is bare, only the grains of cobblestone, I think it should be outside the city.

"Girl, please come with me."

After the sedan man finished speaking, he walked towards the big boat on the shore, and Gui Zhi didn't think much about it, so he followed.

The big wooden boat looked unremarkable from the outside, like a cargo ship carrying goods, but when I walked up, I found that there was a hole in the sky.

The boat is exquisitely decorated, elegant and elegant, as soon as you enter the cabin, the heating comes to your face, the top of your head is actually the glazed tiles that are opened, a lot of green bamboo plantain comes into view, the begonias are blooming beautifully, a spring of flowing water goes around the mountain stone, and the water vapor of the berth comes out.

There are several white lotuses isolated in the water, and carmine-colored dragonflies climb on the flower heads, and have transparent long wings, which are as lovely as jade carvings.

In this winter, you can still see this green cloud and red glow, which makes Guizhi feel vibrating.

Seeing that Gui Zhi stopped and looked at this small scene, the palanquin man explained: "This water is a hot spring twenty miles away, and people are ordered to collect it from time to time and pour it here, so that this room is like spring all year round. ”

Further on, there are flowers and trees all the way, only Guizhi feels that this is not like a boat, but in the fresh mountain forest.

All the way to the back of the cabin, there was a doorless Accord, covered with light sheer curtains.

In the middle of the Accord, a wide chair was covered with white fox skins covered with snow, and a man in a jade brocade robe sat upright on the chair, his long black hair tied up, and a jade crown with a little red in the crown.

The whole person is heroic, obviously with a bewitching face, but without a trace of femininity, and there is some slaughter.

He just sat there, and he had a beautiful demeanor, this man, Gui Zhi had only seen it once, but he had never forgotten it.

Seeing the person coming to him, the man raised his lips and smiled, and said softly: "The shoes are old, why are you reluctant to throw them away?" ”

Before Gui Zhi could stand still, he blushed with embarrassment.

Hurriedly gathered his toes and hid his shoes in his skirt.

Coincidentally, today she was wearing the pair of Hulan cloth shoes he gave her.

"If you like it, I'll give you another pair." The man leaned back, leaned back in his chair, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Guizhi.

Huang Guizhi was busy: "It's really a last resort to recycle Gongzi's cloth shoes, this time, for no reason, I, I don't dare to accept them again." ”

The man laughed, and seemed to think that Guizhi's cautious appearance was amused.

Twisting his fingers, he asked, "For no reason, how dare you get on my sedan chair?" ”

Gui Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I just want to ask who Gongzi Qing is, after all, Gongzi is kind to me, I can't repay it, I have to remember the name of Engong, and I will burn incense for Gongzi in the future." ”

The man smiled heartily and pointed to Lin'er in Guizhi's arms: "This is your child?" ”

Gui Zhi hurriedly shook his head, and before he could answer, he heard the man say again: "You don't need to accumulate blessings for me, the blessings you have accumulated are not enough to eliminate the sins I have done." ”

Gui Zhi took a breath, and then asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man looked at Gui Zhi: "You follow them, call me the fifth master." ”

"Fifth Master." Gui Zhi screamed and asked, "Why did you bring me here?" ”

The man twisted his fingers again.

Gui Zhi found that he seemed to be very fond of twisting his fingers, as if there was a bamboo leaf between his fingers, which was slowly rolled up.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you for many days, I want to ask how you're doing." The man's eyes moved downward, and he looked at the child in Guizhi's arms, "Since this child is not yours, is that the woman who is good friends with you?" ”

Last time, when Gui Zhi was rescued by the fifth master, he told him why he ventured into the mountains and forests, and naturally told him about the relationship between himself and Jin Xiaolou Gao Lang.

Katsura nodded.

"Then why are you alone with the child, what happened to them?" The fifth master seemed to mention it casually.

Gui Zhi's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and all the worries and fears of the night were said at this moment.

After listening to Gui Zhi talk about the strange murder case in Shan Ji last night, the fifth master frowned slightly: "Why didn't you hear you talk about Jin Xiaolou's stupid father-in-law, where did he go?" ”

"Gao Lang?" Gui Zhi shook his head, "Since the day of the beginning of winter, after Xiaolou came back from Hefu, he has never raised his mouth. ”

"Lidong? And the house? The fifth master's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and Chong Guizhi arrived, "Even if I was outside the city, I heard that on the day of the beginning of winter, there was a riot in the county government, and Gao Lang went to be killed with Jin Xiaolou?" ”

"No, Gao Lang had a fever that day, and he was locked in the house for a whole day, and no one could call out." Gui Zhi sighed, "After Xiao Lou came back, I was worried about Gao Lang, and Xiao Lou also said that he was not only not stupid, but also much more powerful than us." Until now, I don't understand what she means. ”

The fifth master's frowning brows opened suddenly, he beckoned, and called the coachman who had just brought Guizhi over: "Chixiao, Miss Huang is tired, you take her down to rest and prepare a meal to entertain." ”

The bearded servant bowed down.

The fifth master said to Gui Zhi again: "I just wanted to ask you about the current situation, but I never thought that I was bumping into you in this predicament, you can stay here with peace of mind, and I will help you keep an eye on the case of Shanji." ”

Gui Zhizheng had nowhere to go, she wanted to live in a restaurant, but the only hairpin on her body was also handed to the officer, and there was no other way but to nod and agree to the fifth master.

In his heart, he was more grateful, and he helped himself again.

But I didn't even know his name.
