Chapter Ninety-Seven: It's Better to Write a Letter
The room was warm and smelled faintly aromatic.
Yunsheng doesn't hate the smell of aromatherapy, this cold day, although it hasn't snowed yet, the warmth in the room makes her a little drowsy.
She felt that something was wrong.
glanced at Wuyi, who was standing at the table, although her eyes were staring at the book in her hand, Yunsheng always felt that her eyes were turning around on him.
What is she looking at?
"Sit down, it's tiring to stand." Wuyi suddenly raised his head and looked at Yunsheng officially.
Yun Sheng nodded politely, the smile on her face did not show any emotion, she always felt that the Wuyi in front of her was not the Wuyi she had seen before.
She seems to have changed.
But where exactly it changed, Yun Sheng couldn't say.
She, with them, always gets along too little.
"I really don't believe it." Yunsheng said.
Wuyi spread his hands and threw the book back on the table, looking like a scoundrel: "I really don't know." β
"No clothes." Zhang Jiusheng sat on the side and called her name.
Wuyi shrugged his shoulders, sat down, took a sip of hot tea, and the temperature slowly trickled down the tip of his tongue into his throat, into his stomach, and finally along his limbs.
"This book belongs to Mr. Zhou."
Yun had already guessed this with Zhang Qiye before he was born, but when he really heard it now, he still felt sour in his heart.
It is a very sad thing that people cannot be resurrected after death.
Not to mention a tragic death.
"It's just that I'm not sure if what is written in this book is true or false."
"Who gave it to you?" Zhang Jiusheng asked.
"Lan Qing." This time, Wuyi replied very simply.
At the same time, a person appeared in the room silently.
Zhang Jiusheng didn't notice it at first, but just as Wuyi said this person's name, there was a sudden sound of breathing in the room.
The breathing sound was very soft, but it was still caught by Zhang Jiusheng.
"Come out!" He snorted.
Wuyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't scare her, pregnant with a child." β
Then, it was Zhang Jiusheng and Yun Sheng's turn to be stunned.
Slowly, a slightly bulky figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
The dim light slowly reflected the person, it was an extremely delicate face, although the facial features were not much of a country and a city, but they were also delicate enough and just right.
She stood cramped, her hands stirring the corners of her clothes restlessly, her belly already visible, even as she tried to hunch her waist to hide it.
Yun Sheng couldn't see the pregnant woman being affected, so he hurriedly walked over, took her arm, and sat down at the table.
"Lan Qing?" Zhang Jiusheng asked.
In fact, he had seen Lan Qing, but because Zhang Jiusheng's attention was on Wuyi and Xuedian at that time, he was naturally not impressed by Lan Qing, who had a very low sense of existence, and because she was pregnant, she stayed in a room without clothes all day long, eating and drinking well, and her whole person looked like she was fat.
"Yes, I've seen the second young master, Master Yun." Lan Qing nodded slightly, and when she spoke, her voice was thin and soft.
"Don't be afraid, we just wanted to ask you some questions." Yun Sheng reassured.
Lan Qing glanced at Yun Sheng, only to feel that the master in front of her had clear eyebrows, and then looked at her ears, and the two ear piercings were clearly visible.
"Just ask." Lan Qing was very polite.
Yun Sheng was also a little embarrassed, in contrast, he felt like a bandit leader, except for looking pale and weak, there was nothing like a woman on his body, and what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all became garbage in her hands.
"Did Mr. Zhou give you these two lists?" Yun Sheng pointed to the things on the table, which were still covered by a veil.
Lan Qing looked over, her slender jade fingers were as white as jade, and she gently lifted the veil, and the two directories were exposed in front of her eyes, she was stunned, her eyes drooped, as if she was full of tears.
She turned her head, pinched her sleeves, gently wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and looked back, "This list ...... It was left by Xuanming, and he told me thousands of times that I should keep these two directories and hide them so that no one could know about them. If something happens to him one day, he will ask me to leave Fan County immediately. β
"But why didn't you leave Fan County, but took out the list?" Yun Sheng asked again.
"Xuanming is dead, I can't just leave, I haven't even seen his body, how can I be willing?" Lan Qing just endured it, but now she couldn't help it, her tears were like beads that had fallen off the thread, one by one, one by one, she tried to stop, but she pinched her sleeve and wiped it for a long time, her face was red, and she still didn't stop.
Lan Qing's feelings for Zhou Xuanming are as deep as they could not imagine.
Suddenly, Lan Qing grabbed Yun Sheng's sleeve: "Master Yun, the government said to the outside world before that Xuanming went to another place, but I know that Xuanming is dead, what about the murderer?" Did you catch the murderer? β
She asked poignantly, and her voice trembled, which was unbearable.
Yun Sheng looked at Zhang Jiusheng, and the two of them looked solemn.
"The murderer was found, but ......" Yun Sheng lowered his head.
Looking at Lan Qing's expectant eyes, Yun Sheng felt very incompetent for a moment, Zhou Xuanming's death, to a certain extent, had something to do with him.
"But? Who is the murderer? Lan Qing grabbed Yun Sheng's sleeve even tighter.
Yun Sheng can't tell the truth.
So, she chose to tell a half-truth.
"The murderer is there."
"The butcher?" Wuyi was obviously a bit of a surprise as well.
Yun Sheng nodded: "That butcher once had a small collision with Mr. Zhou at the gate of Hongdoutai, and he felt that Mr. Zhou's eyes offended him and kept him awake all night, so he attacked Mr. Zhou." β
"That's why?" Lan Qing didn't believe it.
"Because Mr. Zhou's reputation in Fan County is quite high, we don't want Mr. Zhou's death to become someone else's after-dinner meal, so we lied that Mr. Zhou went to another place, and Zeng Youben lived alone, when we found him, he ......" Yun Sheng licked his dry lips, the first time this blatant lie, she was a little nervous: "He committed suicide and died." β
Lan Qing seemed to lose all her strength, slumped on the chair all of a sudden, and then lay on the table and cried, without the slightest caution before.
Yun Sheng was at a loss for what to do, standing beside Lan Qing and looking at Wuyi.
Wuyi didn't expect Lan Qing to cry so fiercely, but fortunately, she was also used to seeing the scene, gently patted Lan Qing's shoulder, and said softly: "It's good to cry, but you still have a child in your belly, too sad, it's not good for the child." When the child is born, you can tell him that his father is a very powerful person. β
When Lan Qing heard this, her crying immediately stopped.
She sobbed, covered her face with her hands, and took it down for a long time, her eyes were red, and I really felt sorry for her.
Zhang Jiusheng couldn't see a woman crying, if he had put it before, I am afraid that he would have rushed up and hugged him in his arms and coaxed, rubbed and comforted, but the woman in front of him was none other than Zhou Xuanming's wife.
He couldn't get his hands on it.
What's more, he now puts Yun Sheng first in everything.
After a period of silence, Lan Qing broke the slightly awkward atmosphere first.
"I can't confirm whether these two lists are true or not, but Xuanming values these two lists very much and asks me to protect them. In fact, after Xuanming's accident, I thought about leaving Fan County with these two lists, but I think these two lists are very important, if I leave like this, something will happen in the future, and my conscience will be uneasy. β
Zhang Jiusheng didn't expect that such a woman who was begging for a living in the courtyard of Goolan could have such thoughts.
Zhou Xuanming's vision is not bad.
"These two booklets are very important." Lan Qing said.
"Yes, it's important." Yunsheng emphasized.
"Don't be afraid, since we know about this, we will take care of it to the end, and as for the authenticity of this list, we will also send someone to verify it. Now, you take good care of yourself, and when the matter is over, you can move out of the red bean platform, and I can find you a secluded place to take care of the baby. Zhang Jiusheng didn't speak, and it was only at this time that he reluctantly opened his mouth.
But it didn't work out, Lan Qing shook his head: "Thank you Second Young Master for your kindness, when the matter is over, I want to move to Xuanming's house." β
Zhang Jiusheng thought about it, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll arrange it then." β
"Thank you, Second Young Master."
Since it was impossible to confirm the authenticity of the directory here, Zhang Jiusheng and Yun Sheng didn't stay long, and said a few words to take care of Lan Qing, and then left.
On the way, the two walked side by side, without words.
"Your Excellency......" Yun Sheng said.
"Call the second young master." Zhang Jiusheng also has something on his mind.
"Second Young Master, I think this list is true."
"From what?"
"Intuition."
Zhang Jiusheng's facial features wrinkled: "What kind of self-confidence is this?" β
"No, I think Mr. Zhou attaches so much importance to these two booklets......"
Before Yun Sheng could finish speaking, Zhang Jiusheng interrupted her: "Then have you ever thought that if we can find Lan Qing, they can't find Lan Qing?" β
"This ......"
"The authenticity of the directory, we will find out by checking it."
"How do you check?"
"Mr. Zhou is meticulous, and he will also think of the possibility of the directory being discovered, so he will definitely do something on the directory. One list is the students Mr. Zhou taught, and the other is Wu Xiang's protΓ©gΓ©s and officials involved in the Xiangfu case, so let's start with Mr. Zhou's students. β
Yun Sheng was silent for a while, and then pulled Zhang Jiusheng back to Baishitang quickly.
As soon as she stepped into the door, she immediately opened one of the lists, which recorded in detail the positions and regions of Mr. Zhou's students, and she chose a few that were nearby, and handed them over to Zhang Qiye to arrange.
The heads of the three men came together, and they grunted and discussed.
In the end, Zhang Jiusheng did not agree with Yun Sheng to leave Fan County, her current body was not suitable for long journeys, and Zhang Qiye was also worried and hesitated.
"Then ......" Yun Sheng thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Why don't you write a letter?" β
Zhang Jiusheng's eyes lit up: "This plan is feasible." β
"Okay, you correspond according to the officials on the list, and then write a letter, and I will arrange for a credible person to deliver it. If you are really a student of Mr. Zhou, you must know Mr. Zhou's arrangement, and we are not afraid. Zhang Qiye also nodded, and then went out to find a few fast legs.
"This list is solved, but what about this one?" Zhang Jiusheng pointed to the other one on the table.
