Chapter 34: Suicide
The next day, the news of Lin Jingmao's return to Beijing soon spread throughout the capital. He made great contributions, and Emperor Shaochu prepared an edict, so he sent Gonggong Zhou to the palace of Lin Guo to read the holy decree and named him the general of Ningbei.
As for the attack on Youzhou, the emperor also sent several ministers to investigate.
Before going to Youzhou, the ministers asked the Beiwu general Lu Ming some things, and knew that the killer Chen Yu was involved, but as for who instigated it, they did not know.
However, at the scene of the crime, they found nothing but corpses and dragon tokens all over the place. As for General Wanda, they concluded that his life and death were uncertain.
After they returned to Beijing, the emperor investigated the reason, they handed over the dragon token to the emperor, the emperor was shocked after checking it, they all thought that this was the Changyuemen token, and thought that the Changyuemen was planning to make a comeback.
In order to confirm this idea, they gave it to Lin Jingsheng, who had killed the leader of the Changyue Gate, Sha Eleven.
After Lin Jingsheng observed carefully, he said that this incident was not done by Changyuemen, and it was speculated that it was done by the remnants of the previous dynasty. They were puzzled, so he told them the reason, and they suddenly realized that the case was solved.
After that day, Lin Yutang never came again, and Pan Mingzhong drank and had fun every day, indifferent to everything.
As soon as Xue Lian came in, she saw that her face was flushed, her eyes were drunk, she was holding a wine glass, and she was lying on the round table drinking. She sighed, walked up to her, and snatched the wine glass: "Girl, although the wine is good, don't be greedy!" β
Hearing this, Pan Mingzhong raised his eyes to look at her: "Snow Lotus, it's you!" When he saw that she snatched the wine, he said angrily: "What are you doing to rob me of wine!" Get it! Then he got up and grabbed the wine.
Xue Lian didn't let her drink, so she shouted, "Xiao Cui, come quickly!" The girl is drunk, take the wine away! β
After a while, Xiao Cui ran in, quickly picked up the wine, and walked out.
Xue Lian remembered something, so she stopped her: "Slow! Xiao Cui, by the way, cook a bowl of decanting soup for the girl! β
Xiaocui said "hey" and responded.
Pan Mingzhong saw that Xiao Cui had taken the wine away, and hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Cui, put the wine down quickly!" Seeing that she stopped, she said, "Don't you listen to me?" Put it down! β
Xue Lian saw Xiao Cui hesitate: "Xiao Cui, don't listen to what the girl says, take the wine and leave!" Seeing that she was still like this, she said urgently: "Drink and hurt, do you want the girl to stay drunk?" β
Hearing this, Xiao Cui hurriedly walked out of the door.
Pan Mingzhong's eyes were slightly red, and he pointed at her with his finger: "Okay!" None of you take me seriously, you don't even listen to me! I want to say to my mother, "Get rid of you all!" β
Xuelian said sadly: "Girl, don't be like this! We're doing this for your own good! β
Pan Mingzhong sneered: "Heh, good for me? If it's good for me, bring me the wine! β
"Girl, you can't drink any more! You're already drunk! β
She said, "I'm sober! I'm not drunk...... I'm not drunk! Give me the wine! Seeing her turn her face away, she looked sad, grabbed her arm, and begged: "Snow Lotus, I beg you, will you give me the wine?" β
"Girl, you've drunk enough! Can't drink anymore! Besides, no matter how much you drink, the facts still can't be changed! β
She laughed and let go of her hand, tears welling up in her eyes: "yes, what can drinking change!" After waking up, the pain is still there, the scars are still visible, and everything is still fresh in my memory! But...... I'm afraid I don't drink...... I can't even live for a moment! β
Xue Lian comforted: "Girl, why are you so troubled! The past is a thing of the past, and I want to do so much! β
"You don't understand those things! You don't understand! The more I want to forget, the more I will remember! I also don't want to remember, I'm miserable, what should I do? β
"Girl, I'm sorry! However, you don't need to deliberately forget or remember, time can forget everything! β
When Pan Mingzhong heard this, he only smiled at her and didn't say anything more.
Can time really forget everything? Can you really forget the scarred existence? She wasn't sure, and she didn't want to think about it.
After a while, Xuelian brought her hangover soup: "Girl, the sobering soup is cooked, drink it!" β
Pan Mingzhong took the bowl of soup, drank it all, and handed the bowl to her.
Xue Lian held the bowl: "Girl, you haven't been out for many days!" β
Pan Mingzhong's eyes were glazed and he didn't answer.
Seeing her like this, Xue Lian sighed and said, "Girl, go out for a walk!" The mood will be much better! β
Ming Zhong came back to his senses, and with an "um" sound, he responded.
Therefore, Xue Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Pan Mingzhong walked out the door and wandered around the house. The servants of the house came and went, doing their duty day after day. She looked at them, her mind drifting into the distance, wondering if she would be able to do the same as before.
Before she knew it, she bypassed the winding stone bridge and came to the depths of the rockery next to the green water.
Here the rocks are stacked, the rock sprays jade, the winding water flows through the clouds, the curtain hole is secluded, the moss marks are on the moss, the strange stone spits green, the clear water is clear, the river is the green Luo belt, the mountain is like a jasper hairpin.
The scenery was dazzling, and her mood improved.
Suddenly, a melodious sound came, a familiar and beautiful tune, lingering in her ears. So, following the music, she came to a gazebo, and met the young and beautiful courtesan she had met on the boat.
She stood aside, quietly gazing at her beauty and listening to her music. After the song ended, she said, "Girl, are you Zhang Yuniang?" β
Hearing this, she looked at her in surprise and nodded at her.
"You play so well!"
"As a Qinglou woman, she can be more or less talented!"
Ming Zhong listened, bowed his head and was speechless, and then asked, "Girl, why are you here?" β
Suddenly, Zhang Yuniang's eyes lit up: "Since that day, Lin Gongzi helped me, I am very grateful, and then I played a solo song for him, after I finished playing, he expressed his opinions, talked with me, back and forth, we became acquainted." Qinglou's life is not good, I admired him, so I asked him to help me redeem myself, and he agreed, so I am here! β
Pan Mingzhong closed his eyes, hid a trace of disgust, and said hoarsely: "So that's the case!" And he said, "But he is not a good man, you should have left him earlier!" β
She was puzzled: "Who are you his?" Looks like you know him well? β
Ming Zhong sneered and did not answer.
Who is she his? She's nobody! She didn't want to know him, but she did let her know his disgusting side, just like the man.
At this moment, a low and magnetic male voice came: "Yu Niang, why did you stop!" Don't go on yet! β
Hearing this, Pan Mingzhong looked ahead and saw Lin Yutang dressed in black as always, standing behind Zhang Yuniang, the dim color, dazzling and moving, made her pupils dilate in an instant, and her eyes were dyed with his gray tone, full of shock and sadness.
Zhang Yuniang resumed playing, but when he saw Pan Mingzhong, he said, "Don't play, stop!" He walked up to Pan Mingzhong, sniffed lightly, and whispered in her ear: "You have eaten wine!" What a fragrant wine! β
He looked at her with a blank look in his eyes: "Who told you I'm here?" How? Miss me so soon! He touched her face with his hand: "What a shame! But...... I'm as you wish! β
She hurriedly explained: "No...... No! I came here by accident! β
He scoffed, "Don't explain! So the reason for being lame can also be said! His eyes lit up: "It's really hard for you!" And he said, "Let's go!" With that, he walked straight away.
He didn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he looked back and saw that she was still stunned: "What? Don't keep up yet! β
Seeing that she didn't move, he had no choice but to approach her and drag her away: "Stunned, who to see!" β
Pan Mingzhong's heart tightened, she didn't want to go, she shook her hand hard, trying to break free from him, but she couldn't.
He glanced back at her, his eyes cold.
She noticed the cold light in his eyes, and panicked, so she lowered her head and took a breath: "I don't want to go!" β
He said, "How dare you resist me!" Wait a minute, you look good! After saying that, he ignored her resistance, quickly dragged her, and left.
Zhang Yuniang looked at the backs of the two holding each other, lowered her eyes, and clenched her hands.
Pan Mingzhong was taken by him to Drunken Mengzhai.
Dragged by him along the way, she felt like a fish on a chopping board, slaughtered by others, unable to resist.
With a "bang", he closed the door, and in an instant, she could only watch as the room was occupied by dark beasts, devouring the last shred of light.
He patted her cheek and frowned, "Look at you, so scared!" β
Hearing this, she looked at him in horror as if she were looking at a fierce monster, and subconsciously, she moved her steps.
Seeing this, he was displeased: "Want to escape? Dream! After speaking, he wrapped his hands around her, picked her up horizontally, and walked into the bedroom.
She slapped him desperately and shouted, "Let me go!" β
"Don't let it go!"
She spoke with a crying voice: "I beg you! β
"It's useless to beg me!"
"And how long are you going to torture me?"
"When you die, when I'm tired of you! However, as long as I hate you for a day, I will torture you for a day, so accept your fate! β
Hearing this, she closed her eyes in despair, she knew that there was no going back! Don't be naΓ―ve, time can't forget everything!
However, she can't let him succeed anymore, and she can't let him trample on what little dignity she has left!
So, she opened her eyes suddenly, staring at his arm, she cautiously peeked at him, seized the opportunity, and while he was blinking, she bit down hard, and suddenly, a little blood came out of his arm!
He immediately dropped her, uncovered his sleeves and looked at the place where the red face was marked, and suddenly, the dark pupils ignited with a star of anger, and he threw a cruel word to her mercilessly: "Look for death!" β
Hearing this creepy cruel sentence, she trembled uncontrollably!
She was startled when she saw him walking towards her, and she immediately stood up and ran to the closed door!
Soon, however, one of her arms was clutched tightly by him, and she couldn't run far!
What to do? Will he be bullied again? Don't, this heart-wrenching feeling, she doesn't want to experience it again!
Her eyes trembled slightly, her eyes were extremely square, and suddenly, not far from the right stood a hard and tall red pillar!
Pregnant!
She ran with all her might!
"Hey!" Green silk floated past her ears, and his screams of surprise echoed faintly in her ears!
"Bang"
A loud bang suddenly sounded, and Pan Mingzhong closed his eyes and fell to the ground, no longer hearing his cold and hateful voice!
The blood flowing from her forehead was the same color as the red pillar, which chilled people's hearts, and made him freeze in place!
