Chapter 25: Dreams and Silver
Gu Junwei's study is full of a soldier's rigor, the room is brightly lit, there are not many things are placed neatly, the room is even cleaner, as if it is dusty, there are many books on the shelves, roughly swept over, most of them are military books.
As soon as Su Yun came in, he felt that this room was a bit too neat and simple, it seemed that as Su Niang said, Gu Junwei had a habit of cleanliness.
And the master of the study was wearing a black round-necked loose robe, his black hair was neatly tied behind his head, and he was sitting behind the desk looking at something, frowning slightly, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
Looking at the past from Su Yun's point of view, this man's facial contours, facial features, and body lines are all just right, handsome as if he was a work carefully carved by God, coupled with his serious and focused expression at this time, people can't take their eyes off it.
Such a man is undoubtedly extremely attractive to women.
As soon as Su Yun stepped in, he noticed it, but he only glanced up at her slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly to indicate the seat next to him, and said, "Sit." He continued to bury his head and look at the paperwork in his hand.
She didn't seem to be at all curious as to why she was looking for him.
Qinglai thought that he had already reported everything to him today, Su Yun had the bottom of his heart, and after he sat down, he looked at him.
She didn't speak, he didn't speak, Su Yun could feel that he seemed to be in trouble at the moment, and the index finger of his right hand on the desk tapped the table one after another, making a regular sound.
Thinking of the case of burning the Drunken Night Pavilion, Su Yun spoke, "Are you thinking about the Drunken Night Pavilion?" ”
The sound of knocking on the table paused, Gu Junwei looked up at her, and started another topic noncommittally: "Listen to Qinglai, do you have something to look for me?" ”
Su Yun's eyebrows moved slightly, and Gu Junwei's attitude revealed a faint detachment, which was telling her that he wanted to help her, and there was a bottom line.
At least, he wouldn't want her to interfere in his business.
Su Yun frowned, his hands were quietly clenched, he looked directly at him, and said, "Today on the street, I met a lady, Qinglai thinks she has already told you about this, I want to know, the situation of the arrested suspect." ”
Gu Junwei raised his eyebrows slightly, "Qinglai should have told you that I didn't arrest the person." ”
Su Yun did not shy away from his scrutinizing gaze, and said lightly: "Yes, but I believe that Gu Dalangjun will not sit still, if he lets the servant of the Criminal Department solve this case first, Gu Dalangjun is afraid that it will be a lot of trouble." ”
The brightest candle in the room suddenly made a crisp popping sound, and the candle flame flickered.
Through this warm yellow candlelight, Gu Junwei's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was raised higher, "How do you say this?" ”
Su Yun also did his homework before coming, and after a pause, he said slowly: "General Gu has the name of the god of war on the battlefield, and everyone is in awe, but at this time, he suddenly became the Dali Siqing who investigated the case and pursued the murderer, which was already criticized, and if this first case was lost to the servant of the criminal department who was also in charge of the prison case, I am afraid that it would fall into the hands of people with bad intentions." ”
The responsibilities between Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are clear, Dali Temple is in charge of trying cases throughout the country, and the cases that occur in Beijing, no matter how big or small, are under the control of Dali Temple, and local cases are accepted by Cao Shenjun, who was established in various places, and only cases above exile will be reported to Dali Temple, which is equivalent to the highest judicial adjudication organ.
The Criminal Department mainly reviews cases sentenced to exile or above in Dali Temple, but can also participate in the trial of unjust cases.
Originally, the work of the Criminal Department should be after Dali Temple, but now the Criminal Department is involved in this case in advance, which is a slap in the face for Gu Junwei, the new secretary of Dali Temple.
After Su Yun finished speaking, Gu Junwei just looked at her quietly, those phoenix eyes were deep and difficult to distinguish, Su Yun calmly accepted his direct gaze, in fact, only she knew that there was a thin layer of sweat on her back.
I don't know how long it took for Gu Junwei to put down the paperwork in his hand leisurely, and said with a smile: "It's a very bold lady." ”
Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then listened to him continue: "You want to say, you can help me solve the case?" ”
Su Yun came back to his senses and said, "I'm not 100% sure, but I'm willing to give it a try, after all, this matter is about a lady's life." Gu Dalangjun didn't know that in modern times, psychoanalysis has become a technique to solve cases, no matter what a person looks like, his language, movements, expressions, and handwriting may become clues to solve the case. ”
Gu Junwei crossed her hands on the table and looked at her with interest, "Then you might as well try to analyze, what kind of psychology am I now?" ”
Even in modern times, when a person wants to apply for a job, there is also an interview, Su Yun was not surprised, he looked at him seriously for a while, and said: "At this moment, Gu Dalangjun should have decided in his heart that Xiao Langjun is not a murderer. ”
Gu Junwei's eyes became a little deeper, "Why do you say this?" ”
"Gu Dalangjun didn't deny my words, he just acquiesced in this case, which is actually pressure on you." Su Yun said slowly: "However, now that the squire of the Criminal Department has arrested Xiao Langjun and bluntly said that he is the murderer, Gu Dalangjun still has an unhurried attitude, and when I said Xiao Langjun just now, your expression is still very relaxed." This shows that you know in your heart that Xiao Langjun is not a murderer. ”
Gu Junwei looked at her deeply, Su Yun didn't seem to realize it, and after saying that, he paused and added, "Of course, what made me finally conclude was that I learned that Gu Dalangjun's search for suspects outside has not yet been recovered." ”
After listening to Su Yun's words, Gu Junwei was not in a hurry to speak, only looked at her steadily, in the dim candlelight, the woman's appearance was clear and beautiful, and her expression was calm, however, the long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and at this time, like the wings of a butterfly, they hung down gently, covering a little of the bright eyes like stars.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and this time he didn't even notice the smile.
This woman always gave him a very contradictory feeling, obviously intelligent, but overly sensitive, obviously bold, but always people could see her nervousness and uneasiness.
It's like a frightened little girl, forcibly straightening her waist and raising her chest, pretending to be calm.
Gu Junwei's smile this time made Su Yun slightly stunned, and for a moment, she seemed to see Gu Junwei's eyes as deep as the night, flashing with a little cold star, as if the smile at the corner of his mouth extended to his eyes, and suddenly illuminated his handsome and unique face, which was completely different from the usual smile.
But just for a moment, Gu Junwei put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes drooped slightly, his fingers tapped on the table, and said lightly: "You came here to talk to me about this matter, just for the lady you met today?" ”
Su Yun lost his mind slightly, but quickly settled down and sighed secretly, "Not exactly, it's also to thank Gu Dalangjun for his help." ”
When Gu Junwei heard this, he smiled lightly: "Oh, so, you found what you want to do?" ”
"Yes," Su Yun didn't go around in circles, looked him in the eye and said: "I want to buy a small yard in a village or county near Shangjing and make a small living, but I haven't thought about what kind of livelihood I want to make a living, but this yard, if I want to live in it in half a year, I have to start looking for it." ”
During the day, she and Su Niang counted Zheng Yunge's current property together, Zheng Yunge came to Beijing from Jiangnan and brought some silver, although in the past six years in Gufu, the basic food, drink, housing and transportation have been guaranteed, Zheng Yunge is not a person who spends money indiscriminately, the silver is not much use, but after counting it carefully, it is only two hundred and twenty taels, plus some broken silver, and some jewelry she brought over at the beginning.
And the Gu family, not to mention the silver, even the jewelry did not add the same to Zheng Yunge, the young lady, and some other necessary materials were often Su Niang's best efforts to come back.
Not to mention the money for three people, it is difficult to find a place to live.
The house price in Shangjing is expensive, even in a village or a small county near Shangjing, a cottage with a yard costs dozens of taels, even if it is rented a few taels of silver per month, Su Yun only roughly calculated an account, and he couldn't count it, such a little money, before they earned the first money, it might not be spent.
Hearing Su Yun's words, Gu Junwei raised his eyebrows slightly, "I thought you would want to do psychotherapy work." ”
Gu Dalangjun is obviously very capable of learning, she only said the word psychotherapy once in front of him, and then remembered it, and she saw her through as always.
Su Yun pursed his lips depressedly, looked at him expressionlessly and said, "In your opinion, am I such a dreamer?" ”
Gu Junwei was slightly stunned, and the woman in front of him sighed softly and said, "This is my dream." ”
Moreover, after the incident of Jiaming and Liuniang, Su Yun found that the people here lack too much attention to psychological problems, and psychological counseling is needed here.
As he spoke, he pursed his lips again and looked at him heavily, "It's just that dreams need silver to support." ”
Seeing her helpless and complaining eyes, Gu Junwei somehow, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled higher and higher, and finally laughed heavily, the laughter was mellow and pleasant, and it was extremely charming.
Su Yun was a little stunned, it turned out that this man would also laugh like this, it turned out that she was not wrong just now, when Gu Junwei smiled sincerely, her eyes would be as bright as stars, and the image of the whole person suddenly became vivid, and she didn't look like the secretive god of war in other people's mouths.
