Chapter 50: The Bull's Head and Horse's Mouth
"Why?"
Standing in the courtyard of Zhang's mansion, Yun Sheng looked at the sky, and he didn't know who he was asking.
The body was left for Zhang Tong to stitch up, and she was dragged out of the yamen by Zhang Jiusheng, these days, they didn't have much time to stay together, he began to worry about her body, whether it would be overdrawn because of the investigation of the case, and the medicine given by Zhang Qiye in her arms was hot, I don't know how many times she had been warmed.
"Don't think about it." The three words of Zhang Jiusheng have no effect on Yun Sheng.
Zhang Jiusheng covered his face, did he not agree to let her be the master from the beginning, but the eldest brother also said that there were countless roads in front of Yunsheng that could lead to the capital, and it was better for them to accompany her than to move forward alone.
"This case is no longer just about murder." Looking at Yun Sheng's stubborn back, Zhang Jiusheng said.
Yun Sheng suddenly turned her head, her face still with doubts, but looking at Zhang Jiusheng's eyes, she immediately realized that this case seemed to have something to do with her.
"If he just wanted to kill Zhou Xuanming to vent his anger and hide his inferiority complex, then he didn't need to put Zhou Xuanming's skeleton as if he was in class, that posture should have been taught by someone, it was the person who killed him." Yun Sheng paused, and his heart was cold: "And that person is also from the capital." ”
Zhang Jiusheng didn't speak, just looked at Yun Sheng quietly.
"He's here to show off, and he's found me, right?" Yun Sheng cautiously asked Zhang Jiusheng.
Skate on thin ice.
The inexplicable bounty on the rivers and lakes has made Yun Sheng dare not show his face too much, he can only walk in such a small place as Fan County, even if Zhang Qiye has said something on the rivers and lakes, there are still those hairy boys who don't know life and death are trying to run to Fan County, he can catch it once, he can catch it twice, can he keep catching up?
Zhang Jiusheng didn't know, he hesitated, he began to be afraid, afraid that he was not strong enough, and in the end, if he couldn't protect her, what should he do? The other party was much stronger than he imagined, the foundation was much deeper, and the speed was much faster than he imagined, and he began to wonder if the reward that suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes was made by them.
It's just a little girl, it's not enough to force her family to be ruined, it's not enough to poison her, so she has to be put to death?
Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?
Zhang Jiusheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, it was really something that those people in the capital could do.
Even if he is very disdainful, he clearly knows that in the face of interests, human life is just a stepping stone, and now, the stepping stone is no longer needed, so it is necessary to kick it away, and it is better that it has never existed.
"It's none of your business." After a long silence, Zhang Jiusheng said softly.
As soon as the words fell, Yun Sheng's eyes turned red, the red ones were caught off guard, and the red Zhang Jiusheng panicked.
"It's because of me!" Yun Sheng covered his face and roared lowly.
What he said was none of her business, he was serious, not comforting.
It's just that about the Zhang Mansion, about the imperial court, about the current saint, he can't say it yet, at least not now, in the face of Yun Sheng's guilt, he can only take a few steps forward, hug her into his arms, and gently pat her back.
"Big brother said, your health is not good, you can't let your emotions go uncontrolled. This case, so far, I will tell the public that Zhou Xuanming was invited by the students to go to the capital, and once returned to his hometown. Zhang Jiusheng said softly, but without waiting for Yunsheng's response, a chill gradually appeared in his chest, Zhang Jiusheng sighed, and stopped talking.
And this case was indeed as Zhang Jiusheng thought, and it came to an end.
But is there really an ending in everyone's hearts?
Not.
Even Zhang Tong, who has always only conducted an autopsy and is not responsible for judging the case, does not believe it.
After two months of calm, the weather slowly cooled down, and after watching Zhang Jiusheng come and go and pass by the yamen in a hurry, and carry away a bag of dried meat brought by Guan Chu from home, Guan Chu and Zhang Tong sat on the steps at the door of the autopsy room, talking with each other, since Zhou Xuanming's case, they have been a lot more idle, and there is no corpse for Zhang Tong to abuse.
"I always feel that Mr. Zhou's case is too strange." Guan Chu chewed on the jerky, looking blankly at the corner in front of him.
Zhang Tong didn't know where to stare at, so he responded: "It's really strange." ”
"In the past, adults decided cases, although they were very fast, but they were not hasty. But this time, we don't know who killed it, so the adult decided the case and sealed the news, it's really fucking weird, and I don't want to care. Guan Chu smashed his mouth a few times, stuffed another piece of jerky, and chewed vigorously.
Zhang Tong was not as fragmented as Guan Chu, more often than not, he was just silent and didn't know what he was thinking, when Guan Chu realized that Zhang Tong didn't seem to have responded to him for a long time, he turned his head to see Zhang Tong pondering, and poked Zhang Tong in the chest with an elbow.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Tong glanced at him and said, "I'm wondering, don't adults believe us, this case is obviously full of strange and suspicious points, but he would rather bear it alone than tell us." ”
Guan Chu groaned: "Don't you think that since Yun Sheng came, adults have changed a lot?" It's no longer the same as before, I don't care about anything, and even the case is always staring at ......"
"Cut!" Hearing this, Zhang Tong sneered: "Why do you think so? Yunsheng loves to investigate cases, adults are not at ease, can't this be followed? ”
"You two big men have been chirping crookedly all morning, are you annoying?!" Suddenly, Yun Sheng suddenly poked out half of his head from a small room in the back, threw out a book by the way, and smashed it at the feet of Zhang Tong and Guan Chu.
Zhang Tong was surprised: "When did you come?" Didn't the adults give you a holiday? ”
Yun Sheng rolled his eyes and raised the brush in his hand: "I can't come to the yamen on vacation?" ”
Guan Chu patted his ass and stood up from the ground, with a cunning face, he leaned against the windowsill and teased: "What's the matter? Hiding from us again? ”
"Why am I hiding from him?" Yun Sheng blurted out, with a kind of embarrassment that someone had pierced his careful thoughts.
Guan Chu glanced back at Zhang Tong, Zhang Tong smiled, also got up from the ground, leaned over and lowered his voice: "Don't pretend, since the first day you entered the yamen, I knew that you were a girl, what's wrong?" Adults forced to get married? I think you've been hiding from adults for the past two days? This morning, the adults were still looking for you, but I didn't expect you to hide here? ”
Yun Sheng knew that his identity as a woman disguised as a man could not be hidden, and only Zhang Tong and Guan Chu were smart people, and they couldn't tell through it, and because Zhang Jiusheng brought it in, he tolerated her to "be powerful" in the yamen for so long, but he didn't think that the two of them were open-minded and didn't take it seriously, and even the sentences that revealed her identity were so logical, and after so long, he was a villain.
She let out a long sigh: "Adults are good to me, I know. You have been good to me, and I know it. It's just that I don't know if I can handle this kind of goodness. ”
Zhang Tong and Guan Chu glanced at each other, although they didn't quite understand the meaning of Yun Sheng's words, but there must be some unspeakable hardships for letting a girl's girl dress up as a man for so long.
Zhang Tong wanted to pat Yunsheng on the shoulder to show comfort, but when he thought that he had already revealed her identity as a daughter, it would be bad to move his hands and feet at this time, so he retracted his hand and slowed down his voice: "Although our brothers don't know much about what happened between you and adults, there are no absolutes in the world, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is no road...... Zhang Tong paused, thought for a while and said: "If there is no road, let the adults spend money to hire someone to open a road, how simple, we adults are not short of money." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Guan Chu responded with a voice.
"Don't keep hiding from adults, it's not easy for adults to come over for so many years, it's rare to see him so concerned about one thing, what is there to say."
Yun Sheng raised his head: "But he doesn't want to say it?" ”
At this moment, Zhang Tong and Guan Chu were stunned.
Yun Sheng scratched his head, a little depressed: "It's really not that I'm hypocritical about this, it's that he doesn't say it." I asked several times, and from morning to night, he bit it to death and didn't say it, and since he didn't say it, then don't say it for the rest of his life! What are you looking for me for? I don't want to see him either! ”
The development of things was a bit unexpected, for a while, Zhang Tong didn't know what to say, let alone Guan Chu, he was originally a martial artist, he was okay with his hands, and he used his brains? Then you still have to come with Zhang Tong.
"Actually, don't look at the adults who used to go to Hongdoutai to look for flowers and ask willows or something, they were all to ask about the case. What's more, men, right? Moreover, for so many years, I haven't seen a woman with sincerity, but with two hundred thoughts on you. Zhang Tong spoke bitterly, and almost persuaded him with a handful of tears and snot.
Yun Sheng frowned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Feelings, there must be gains, adults are now taking care of themselves, that's a good thing. Now, if you want him to bend down and whisper to you, you'll have to give him some time to get used to it, right? Don't push too hard, one day, adults will be in your pocket, hahahahaha! Zhang Tong nodded at Guan Chu, Guan Chu nodded desperately, and Yun Sheng only felt a little inexplicable.
Hearing this, Yun Sheng's little face wrinkled: "Zhang Tong, what are you talking about?" ”
"Huh?"
"I'm talking about the case, it's the case! What feelings? What's in the bag? What mess? Yun Sheng took the brush and knocked on the windowsill fiercely, and said: "There was this case, full of loopholes, even if the adults said to the outside world that Zhou Xuanming went to the capital and had returned to his hometown, but the paper couldn't hold the fire, and one day it would be poked out by someone with a heart." ”
Before Zhang Tong could react, Yun Sheng's eyes gurgled, he got up suddenly, and said, "No, I must find out who is behind the scenes, I want to go to Zeng Youjia again, there must be any clues that have not been found?" ”
