Chapter 33: The Old Days
Zhou Liu knew that I was joking with her, although it was only three days, but Zhou Liu lived a tormented life, now her children are by her side, her husband will not be long back, after this toss, I believe she will also re-sort out the relationship between their husband and wife.
"By the way, this Young Lady Ling, I look at her and is always depressed, I don't know if there is something on her mind?"
Gu Ran was sullen, I could probably guess the reason, watching other people's husbands and wives reunited, but she was separated from Ling Hantian forever, I have also tasted this kind of pain, it is really not good to tell others what it tastes like, Zhou Liu is still staying in Ling Mansion now, now all she needs to do is wait.
I left Zhou Liu's place, looking for Gu Ran everywhere in the Ling Mansion, her room, the garden of the Ling Mansion, the front hall and the backyard were nowhere to be found, and finally I thought that she was very likely to go to Ling Han's former study.
When I found the study, I saw Gu Ran looking at the painting on the wall obsessively, the painting was vivid, it can be seen that the skills of the person who wrote it, the people on the painting were Ling Han and Gu Ran, the scene in the painting was when Gu Ran first got married, the reason why I knew that it was when I first married in was because Gu Ran still had a hairpin on his head at that time, and the hairpin was only worn in the early days of marriage.
"Gu Ran, you were here, tell me to find it." I watched her look more and more lonely, more and more lonely, I couldn't let her dwell on the past like this anymore, I had to make her sober up.
Hearing my voice, Gu Ran looked up, "Nan Kite, why are you here." ”
If I hadn't been familiar with her, I would have been deceived by her acting skills, but in a short moment, she switched her expressions so freely, one second she was very complaining, and the next second she was calm.
"I want to say that the affairs of the Qin family are about to become clear, but I still have to trouble you to take care of Zhou Liu, and ...... else"
I'm a little confused, I don't know if it's okay to leave this matter to Gu Ran in the end.
"If you have something to say, let it go quickly, Nan Kite, you didn't have such an awkward personality before, you shouldn't treat me as your own person!"
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll say it, please send someone to keep an eye on Long Shili's every move, if there is anything abnormal, tell me, I'm worried that Long Shili will have the next step."
"In the final analysis, you are still for Yan Beishen, Nan Kite, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, now we just have no conclusive evidence in our hands, once I or my in-laws find out something, then we and Yan Beishen will have to live only one side, I am afraid that I will become an opponent with you and become an enemy."
After such a long time, Gu Ran finally told me what she was most worried about and wanted to say.
"I believe that there will not be a day, I dare to use my life to guarantee that Yan Beishen is not that kind of person, so we will not fall to the point you said."
Gu Ran smiled helplessly, "Okay, I just told you my attitude first, I will let people do what you say, Long Shili is not a good thing in the first place, even if it is not for you, I will deal with her." ”
In the afternoon, I accompanied Gu Ran and Zhou Liu to chat, they were like seeing each other late, and the conversation was very enthusiastic, and I rarely had the opportunity to interject, for no other reason, just because they were both mothers, and they were talking about children.
I have done everything I need to do in Ling Mansion, and then I think it's time for me to go back to the post station, the divine doctor is about to come back, and the matter of a hundred miles and seven nights should be over, as for the marriage between Long Shili and Yan Beishen, what I have to do is to wait for the news of Leng Si and Gu Ran, if Long Shili has done it, then she will definitely not be able to run away, as long as she and the Qin family have an accident this time, then the marriage between her and Yan Beishen will not be successful.
"What do you think, so engrossed?" A small pebble flying from nowhere hit the back of my hand, and when I looked up, it was Leng Si, I just thought of him, why did he come, wasn't he sleepy, and he only slept for an afternoon and recovered?
"Why are you a gentleman on the beam again, can't you come in through the gate of the Ling Mansion?"
When the words fell, Leng Si jumped down from the tall tree and jumped right in front of me, "You little conscienceless, I will help you get things done, and you will unload the mill and kill the donkey!" ”
"You mean you found Long Shili?"
"That's right, but let's leave the Ling Mansion first, I think it's weird here."
What a weirdo, but I'm going back to the station, so it doesn't matter.
After leaving the Ling Mansion, Leng Si finally told me what he had investigated, I didn't expect that there were so many people involved, it seemed that I had to pick a day to meet the old people.
"Nan Kite, don't you know what happened between Ling Fu and Yan Beishen, I think you still dare to ask Gu Ran for help, your courage is really too big."
Leng Si's words are not too exaggerated.
"I'm not a fool, I already understand the grievances between them, it's just that I don't believe that Yan Beishen will do this, besides, Gu Ran is my good sister, she is very important to me, and I also believe that she is the only one who will not betray me and hurt me."
"Don't blame me for not telling you in advance, the current Gu Ran and the innocent Gu Ran back then are already two people, I think Gu Ran must not have told you that she once assassinated Yan Beishen, but her martial arts skills were not good, and she was caught, if it weren't for Yan Beishen to keep the people present at the time tight-lipped, just by assassinating the prince, the entire Ling Mansion would have suffered a catastrophe long ago!"
Leng Si's words didn't look like he was lying, Gu Ran assassinated Yan Beishen, this is a situation I didn't expect.
"I'll find a way to clear up the misunderstanding between them." I always thought that this matter could be put back, but now it seems that I underestimated Gu Ran's feelings for Ling Han, and I want to solve it as soon as possible.
At this time, there is an insider in front of me, and now I don't ask when!
"Leng Si, I invite you to eat roast goose and drink wine, do you want to go?"
Now that the sky has darkened, the summer market is much livelier than the winter, and Leng Si is a man who can't resist the temptation of food, so he immediately agreed to my proposal.
It stands to reason that the best place in this Mocheng is to 'welcome guests', but Leng Si said that there is a small wine shop in this Meaux, and the drinks in it are superb, as for the roast goose, it is a must, if it is not for the laziness of the shopkeeper there, I am afraid that the golden sign of 'welcoming guests' may not be able to be kept.
Because Leng Si has always been exaggerated when he speaks, I am actually skeptical of his words.
But soon, I was slapped in the face, the wine here is sweet and thick, although I feel a little strong when I drink it, but after the mouth I feel endless; As for the roast goose that Leng Si has been touting, it is the best of the best, there seems to be a layer of sugar on the skin, but it is not too sweet, and it is tasted with the real meat inside, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.
"Well, I didn't lie to you, this tavern is a rare treasure in Meaux, if it weren't for your good relationship, I wouldn't have brought you here."
I have questions to ask him about whoever makes him the boss, so I should talk to him about whatever he says.
I deliberately opened a small bag, so I can ask Leng Si some questions with peace of mind.
"Let me ask you, what happened to Yan Beishen and Ling Han back then, and why did Ling Han die in the end?"
Leng Si was struggling with the goose legs at this time, and after hearing my question, he put the goose legs down, "It's okay to tell you this, in fact, I don't know much, it seems that the emperor issued a secret decree to Yan Bei Shen, as for what it is, only he knows, at that time, Kun Yu left Mocheng, where did I have the heart to accompany Yan Bei Shen to do things, so in the end, Ling Han accompanied Yan Bei Shen on the road, but the strange thing is that after they left Mo City, Ling Han never wrote a letter to inform safety, And when there was news of the two of them, it was they trapped under a cliff, and later it was said that Yan Beishen left the injured Ling Han in danger in order to survive alone, and when the people of the Ling family rushed over, Ling Han was eaten by the beasts in the mountains and only half of the corpse remained. ”
I have thought about a lot of possibilities, the only thing I didn't expect is this, I thought that someone else misunderstood that Yan Beishen killed Ling Han, but now it seems that Yan Beishen abandoned Ling Han in order to survive, although the literal meaning of the two is different, but the final result is the same.
"Have you asked Yan Beishen about this, and how did he answer you?"
"I don't want to die, I dare to ask Yan Beishen this kind of question, but the reason why the Ling family thinks that Yan Beishen killed Ling Han is not only because Yan Beishen left Ling Han, but because Ling Han found swordsmanship on Ling Han's body that only Yan Beishen can use, and Ling Han also has Yan Beishen's unique secret weapon, except for Yan Beishen in the world today, there is no one else who can use it."
That is to say, in addition to the fact that no one saw Yan Beishen kill with his own eyes, other evidence pointed to Yan Beishen, and although the Ling family had these superficial evidences, there was no way to convict Yan Beishen.
Leng Si's words shook my previous firm confidence a lot, it's not that I haven't seen Yan Beishen kill, how many lives have he plundered on the battlefield, life and death can be said to be a very ordinary thing for him, would he really kill Ling Han, who was already seriously injured, in order to survive?
What happened back then, no one else knew except Yan Beishen, I drank glass after glass, because I had to think, so I couldn't remember how much I drank, and when I was strong enough to drink, I couldn't control myself, and then I started a drunken madness.
"Tell me, Yan Beiyan is not a scumbag, he can treat me at will because of his amnesia, he obviously doesn't like me, and he wants to take advantage of me, if he wasn't my husband who was married, I would have to slap his face crooked!"
"You fool, you said you had a good treat, why did you get drunk first, don't you pay the bills, I didn't bring any money today, master."
