Chapter 1039: No Name
Listening to Zhang Tong's tone, it seemed that the matter was very serious, and Gu Li finally raised his head from the big iron pot.
"What's the matter?"
"When Zangyun came to me before, he gave me something that Nalan left back then."
As soon as he heard about Nalan, Gu Li also became serious.
"What's that?"
Although Guan Chu listened to the story, he hadn't really come into contact with Nalan after all, so he didn't feel deeply, but he instinctively expressed his sadness for Nalan's death, and when he heard that Nalan's younger brother had come to send something, he couldn't help but take it seriously, hoping that he could help somewhere.
The things given by Nalan Zangyun are actually a book, but the things on this book are not as targeted as the two lists given by Mr. Zhou.
In that book, it is a case restoration compiled by Nalan in the years when he was a coroner, through field experience and case file investigation, with the process of solving the case and the crucial autopsy process, which is what Nalan hopes to leave to future generations, but it has not been compiled in the end.
Originally, Zangyun had always wondered why Nalan wanted to give him the book because it was obviously not compiled. Later, I realized that he had probably been aware of Lin Lubai and Chen Jinzhi's plan a long time ago, but because there was no evidence, and in case he had an accident when he checked it halfway, he gave the book to Zangyun first.
But who knows that one side will be the last?
Zangyun came silently, and when he left, he didn't say hello to Zhang Tong.
Nalan has protected him for so long, and the only thing he can do for Nalan is to hand over the few things he left behind to the people he was once close to.
Zhang Tong is this person.
It's just that, so far, they still don't know who the man in black named Zangyun came to Fan County to find Zhang Tong is?
At the beginning, Zhang Tong thought it was Gu Li, but looking at Gu Li, he didn't know that Zangyun would come, would it be someone from Mei Shili?
Zhang Tong took the book left by Nalan and spent a few days reading each case in detail, several of which involved Wu Zhidun and his protΓ©gΓ©s, and some of which were cases of officials close to Wu Zhidun, and most of these cases were suppressed.
All the officials involved in the case were bribed, and if the saint wanted to investigate strictly, he would definitely find clues in it, and thus wipe out the Wu party.
In the imperial court, the most taboo is to form a party for personal gain.
It's just that Wu Zhidun's connections are almost the entire imperial court, and as soon as the eldest grandson pheasant dies, almost no one can stop him.
Over the years, Gu Li has helped Li Hongzhi deal with a lot of pickling things.
Local officials are being replaced one by one without even realizing it.
These things flow for a long time, like spring raindrops falling on inconspicuous corners, moisturizing things silently, just waiting for a while.
"I didn't expect that even if Nalan left, he would still be able to leave us these things." The meat in Gu Li's mouth had forgotten to chew, and he missed Nalan even more.
"This book, put it here for me, it's better to put it for you to be more useful." Although Zhang Tong was reluctant, for the sake of the overall situation, he still handed the book to Gu Li.
Gu Li swallowed the piece of meat, looked at Zhang Tong for a while, then reached out to take it, gently touched the book cover, stuffed it into his arms, put it close to his body, and said, "I will let people take it back to the capital." β
Zhang Tong nodded and did not speak.
At this time, they had no appetite to eat, but they thought that this good day should be coming soon, and the snow had already fallen after waiting for so long.
After Zhang Jiusheng left, he didn't go to Hongdoutai as they thought, but turned around and went to Baishitang.
With a body of wind and snow, Zhang Jiusheng stepped into the threshold of Baishitang.
It was snowing this day, and many of the older and frail people were suffering from the cold, sitting in the Baishi Hall, waiting for Zhang Qiye to prescribe medicine.
Because the weather was cold and the New Year was approaching, Zhang Qiye had a good heart, so he asked those doctors who were sitting in Baishitang to go back to prepare for the New Year first, and he was alone in Baishitang, fortunately, there were a few medicine children who had no father and nowhere to spend the New Year by his side, helping to catch the medicine, otherwise Zhang Qiye alone would really not be busy.
Seeing that he was so busy, Zhang Jiusheng also consciously moved a stool to the side, and only here was Zhang Qiye, Zhang Jiusheng's impetuous heart could get a little stability and calm.
The whole body was filled with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and there were some patients' suppressed coughs, Zhang Jiusheng held a cup of hot tea and watched quietly, and his mind gradually didn't know where it had gone.
In the summer of that year, he was lying on the trunk of a tree and screaming hoarsely, Zhang Jiusheng was still young, he forgot how old he was at that time, anyway, he followed Guan Chu and caused trouble all over the street.
When I returned home covered in mud and sweat, I found that there was an extra boy in the house.
Big eyes, long eyelashes, sallow, skinny, and the clothes on his body look like they haven't been changed in years, probably the kind of one that washes, wears, wears, washes and goes back and forth.
Strangely enough, though, he's not dirty.
The little Zhang Jiusheng actually does not exclude having strangers at home, but such a child suddenly appeared, and although it seems that he is still a little younger than himself, the sense of crisis often comes from gender, if the child in front of him is a girl, Zhang Jiusheng will definitely be safe, but it is not a coincidence, it is a boy.
At that time, Zhang Jiusheng's first reaction was, this can't be his father born outside, right?
But looking at the house again, it is quiet, and the tables, chairs and benches are intact, which means that his mother from a big family is not angry, so this is very strange, whose family is this child?
Two children, standing a dozen steps apart, looking at each other eye to eye, one in brocade clothes, although dirty, and the other in rags, although cleaned, the difference between beating a noble son and a beggar is still perfectly reflected at this time.
Just when Zhang Jiusheng wondered where his father and mother went, Zhang Ci and Mrs. Zhang came out of the small room on the side, followed by a big girl.
"Dad, mother." Zhang Jiusheng shouted.
When Zhang Ci saw Zhang Jiusheng, he frowned, and said coldly: "Did you go out with the Guan family kid again?" β
Zhang Jiusheng smiled mischievously, then pointed to the dirty boy standing next to him and asked, "Who is this little beggar?" β
The boy listened, lowered his head, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to cry? Zhang Jiusheng's heart tightened, feeling that he had said the wrong thing, and just as he was about to apologize, he heard Zhang Ci speak.
"It's your brother from now on."
Zhang Jiusheng was stunned on the spot, the conjecture in his heart was so confirmed, he was a little incompetent, but looking at the thin and weak appearance of the kid in front of him, how could he be an elder brother?
"Dad, I look older than him, I should be my brother!"
Zhang Jiusheng argued with reason, without the slightest awareness that he might be divided into family property, and the kid next to him raised his head slightly, looking at the kid in front of him in surprise The brain circuit seemed to be a little wrong.
Zhang Ci didn't seem to expect Zhang Jiusheng to accept the sudden appearance of this boy so much, but he fell into a stubbornness that almost got into the horns of the bull on the question of who was the elder brother.
Unexpectedly, in order to let Zhang Jiusheng accept the boy in front of him, Zhang Ci and his wife discussed for a long time, and even prepared several plans, but they didn't expect that when they arrived at Zhang Jiusheng, everything became a floating cloud.
He was an only son.
has been playing alone since he was a child, thanks to a Guan Chu who can accompany him everywhere, but Guan Chu is no matter how much he is someone else's child, he will not live with him, and he has to be separated every day, which is very torturous for Zhang Jiusheng, who loves to play.
He was glad that he suddenly had such a brother, even if they were not related by blood.
However, he wants to be a big brother.
Guan Chu is a child of an ordinary family, there is no woman in the family, only him and his father, so the concept of the head of Guan Chu's family is deeply ingrained in his mind.
Therefore, in front of Guan Chu, Zhang Jiusheng didn't have much of the feeling that he was the eldest brother, more often, it was Guan Chu who was protecting him.
Therefore, Zhang Jiusheng desperately hopes that someone can call his eldest brother seriously.
Unexpectedly, when he returned home, he was still a younger brother.
Zhang Jiusheng is not happy, but he is not happy to be unhappy, looking at the thin boy in front of him, Zhang Jiusheng guessed that it was a poor child, although it may be the seed left by his own Lao Tzu outside, but seeing that his Lao Tzu did not give him too much preferential treatment, it is estimated that he can't go on, and there is really no way to find it.
How pitiful!
Since Zhang Ci said that people are older than him, then they are bigger than him, he doesn't fight this, and he will show that he is a big brother in behavior in the future, isn't it okay?
Taking the kid's hand, the little Zhang Jiusheng asked in a milky voice: "You will be my eldest brother in the future, if you go out and be bullied, report my name, and no one will dare to touch you." β
Zhang Ci was happy when he heard it, he didn't expect his own kid to be so humane, and then when he heard what Zhang Jiusheng said to him, Zhang Ci only felt that he wanted to punch him.
"Dad, do you have any other kids out there?"
"Fart! I have a lot to learn from your mother's heart! "Zhang Ci is so big, the first time he burst into foul language, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped and jumped.
Zhang Jiusheng was stunned, everyone came to the door, what else is there to admit?
"This child has no parents, hasn't eaten for several days, fainted at the door of our family medical hall, what are you thinking about when your father rescued him?" Mrs. Zhang explained with a smile.
Oops, it's oolong!
Zhang Jiusheng patted his head, realized it later, and turned around and asked, "Then what's your name?" β
saw the kid in front of him squirm his lips a few times, and his voice was incomparable: "I...... I don't have a name. β
In the past, when he followed Guan Chu on the streets of Fanxian County, he would also see those little beggars hiding at the base of the wall, holding a few dirty steamed buns in their dirty hands, but they also had names, although they were not very good.
But the boy in front of him said that he had no name.
"From now on, you will follow my surname, surname Zhang, and name Qi Ye." Zhang Ci hugged Mrs. Zhang with a smile and said.
