Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Reincarnation of Cause and Effect
Yun Sheng actually didn't believe what Xiao Hengyan said at all, he didn't know his face before, but now he knows, but he looks at him everywhere, and there are flaws everywhere.
Leaving Xiao Hengyan's courtyard, Yun Sheng sat on the steps of the front hall.
No matter how I think about it, I feel that my previous self was so stupid, I left Zhang Jiusheng for such a thing for so long, and I was still unconscious.
If she is Zhang Jiusheng, maybe she will be sad and wronged, right?
What Xiao Hengyan said to her was half-true and half-false, Yun Sheng needed to extract the information that was useful to him by himself, such as the murderer's voice he said, if he hadn't really heard it, he wouldn't have been able to describe it so harshly, and the cold sweat in his palms because of panic couldn't be faked.
"What if it's fake?" Yun Sheng suddenly asked himself.
She doesn't know the bottom of this question, she just thinks that there won't be such a perverted person in this world, right?
But the fact is that people's hearts are unpredictable, and the Zheng Taishi she thought before would not be the one who wanted to harm her Prime Minister's Mansion, but Zheng Taishi was one of them. She was in a coma for a long time, and many of the things she saw before she fell unconscious were hidden in her dreams, but reality often forced her to remember it again.
Someone wants to harm her, someone wants to harm Zhangfu, this is an ironclad thing.
What was in Zhang's mansion, Zhang Jiusheng didn't tell her, Yun Sheng thought about checking it himself, and also wanted to go over and ask Zhang Qiye, but in the end she decided to let it go first.
No matter what there was in the Zhang Mansion for Xiao Hengyan to do everything possible to get in, she had to find out the murderer who destroyed the Xiao Mansion first.
Things have to come one by one.
Otherwise, your thoughts will be confused and it will be easy to fall into misunderstandings.
After pondering for a long time, Yun Sheng pulled over a subordinate who had just come out of Xiao Hengyan's courtyard and asked, "Has Young Master Xiao rested?" ”
"I stopped, the door was closed, and I didn't see him come out."
"Okay, you go, keep staring."
The man bent down and walked away.
Not long after, Zhang Tong came to Zhang's Mansion and was preoccupied.
"What's wrong? What's this expression? Like someone died? Yun Sheng blurted out, but then he knew that he was speechless, and quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.
Zhang Tong glanced at her and said, "It's going to die." ”
Yun Sheng was taken aback, and what a word became a prophecy?
"Who?"
"Red beans." Zhang Tong's face was expressionless, and he said, "The eldest young master asked me to ask you, do you want to go over and see?" ”
Yun Sheng frowned and grasped the point: "Why did the eldest young master ask you to ask me?" What about the second young master? ”
Zhang Tong raised his eyebrows: "Because the eldest young master knows that the second young master won't let you go to see it, but he thinks you definitely want to see it." ”
Yun Sheng pursed his lips, knowing that the eldest young master still loved her, but he didn't know, Hongdou had told her that he didn't want her to see it, firstly, he was afraid that someone would see her in the court, afraid that she would be exposed, and secondly, he was afraid that she would do something impulsive. Although they haven't been together for a long time, the relationship between them has been like friends for many years, whether Hongdou is protecting because of the mission or not, for Yunsheng, a stranger can risk his life to protect you, she will be willing to pay the same thing for it.
"I ...... I'm not going. Yun Sheng said for a long time.
This answer seemed to have been expected by Zhang Tong, and he didn't change much of his expression, but said, "That's okay, I'll go." ”
"Huh!" As soon as Zhang Tong raised his foot and was about to leave, Yun Sheng stopped him behind.
Zhang Tong turned around: "What's the matter?" Changed your mind? ”
Yun Sheng waved his hand: "No, is the second young master in the law field?" ”
"He's a county master, so he has to be beheaded in the court."
"Then after you go and see, help me keep an eye on the red beans." Yun Sheng has always had a suspicion in her heart, since Hongdou won't let her go, then she won't go, but the doubt has been hidden in her heart for a long time, it is easy to make a person sick, she doesn't want to make herself sick, so Zhang Tong came, so let Zhang Tong help her.
"What are you doing with her?" Zhang Tonghu was suspicious.
"Help me keep an eye on Azuki's face." Yun Sheng didn't say it too clearly, Zhang Tong was a smart person, and after just a little thought, he understood.
Previously, Gu Li took people away from prison with great fanfare, and Yun Sheng must have known about this.
Even if Yun Sheng didn't know about this, Hongdou did everything possible to get Yun Sheng not to go to the court to see her beheaded, although on the surface it seemed to be for Yun Sheng's good, but in fact it was not.
When the red bean is beheaded, those people will inevitably be watched in the law field, and they must be at ease when they see the red bean's head fall to the ground. But if Yun Sheng appeared there, things would be different, not only would Li Hongzhi's plan be disrupted, but at the same time, the goals of those people would also change and become Yun Sheng. And Yun Sheng was in Zhangfu at this time, and he could use Yunsheng to drag Zhangfu into the water.
Hongdou is dead, Li Hongzhi can be regarded as a broken arm, and if the remnants of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhangfu are removed together, then Li Hongzhi will break another arm.
After that, it's very easy to get the stuff.
The Zhang Mansion has declined, and the official hat of the county lord of Zhang Jiusheng can't be worn anymore, so just put a person in to succeed the post of county commander of Fan County, so isn't Fan County just in their pocket, and they can do whatever they want?
"Okay." Zhang Tongying got down, turned around and left.
Yunsheng is smart, she listens to Hongdou's words, she is not willful, and it is good not to go.
Hongdou is also smart, she knows that Yun Sheng will not be able to resist curiosity, so she asked again and again, and even added threats.
Yun Sheng eats soft and not hard, and Zhang Fu is her current weakness.
Zhang Jiusheng was wearing an official uniform, his face was solemn, the autumn wind blew through the sand on the court, and he was greeted with dry dust, and his mood was even more gloomy because of these dusts.
In the end, he still couldn't know the woman's name.
He sat on it, and in front of him was a signing cylinder, in which were placed seven or eight arrows, each of which had the dazzling word "chop" written in red letters.
Zhang Jiusheng swallowed his saliva, the woman had been kneeling on the beheading table for a long time, her black robe had long been torn off, and the black cloth on her face had long been thrown on death row, hidden under the stinking haystack. Her true face was obscured by her long messy hair, and the scruffy prison uniform was worn over her, wrapping around her thin body, almost craggy, almost crumbling.
After a long time, she slowly raised her head and looked at Zhang Jiusheng in the distance.
Zhang Jiusheng looked at her, and then looked up at the sky, today's weather is not very good, gloomy, dark clouds cover the overhead, and also cover everyone's hearts.
Suddenly, the corners of the woman's lips raised a shallow arc, and she said a word silently.
It was too far away, Zhang Jiusheng couldn't hear it, and frowned.
"What did you say?" Zhang Jiusheng muttered.
One of the catchers next to him stepped forward and said, "My lord, it's noon." ”
Zhang Jiusheng was stunned, the catcher had already put the arrow in his hand, he took it, and only felt that his palm was cold.
That arrow, pierce the hand.
The woman had lowered her head again, Zhang Jiusheng could no longer see her face, he looked around, the people were all standing outside, watching with their eyes blank, no one was whispering, just watching, some even had red eyes, their hands were tightly grasping the railing in front of them, because the weather was cold, making each of them look gray.
Zhang Jiusheng looked at the arrow in his hand, closed his eyes, and threw it out.
With a "snap", the arrow fell to the ground.
The executioner on the decapitation table pulled out the straps behind the woman's back and threw them aside, and the woman also bent down quietly, her face was against the rough wooden mound, and her skin was about to be scratched, cold, and there was still a smell of blood on the mound, and I don't know how many people's blood had been left, and she was about to become one of them.
She closed her eyes and thought, this life is not too good and not too bad.
was originally going to die, and being able to save someone's life in the end can be regarded as a blessing, and I hope that when I go down to the underworld, Lord Yama can see her sincere repentance, don't let her catch up with him.
The happy thing is to meet him.
The unhappy thing is that I also met him.
Life is mostly unhappy and always similar.
Her heart slowly calmed down until the knife fell, and she seemed to hear the sound of her own bones being cut off, very crisp and very fast.
Just then, there was no pain, but she suddenly opened her eyes, and some vague figure flashed and flashed in front of her eyes, and finally it became clear, it was the face she had been thinking about for half her life.
"You know you're wrong, I'll pick you up." He laughs.
She wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry, she was dead, where could she cry?
She couldn't hear the exclamations in the crowd, Zhang Jiusheng sat on it, watching the head fall to the ground, rolling a bloodlet stain on the sand, and he was already slumped on the chair.
"Are you alright, sir?" The catcher next to him saw that his face was not quite right, and hurriedly went up to ask.
Zhang Jiusheng sneered, shook his head, stretched out his hand and said, "Find someone to collect the corpse and bury it." ”
The catcher was only stunned, and then nodded.
Zhang Tong also stood in the crowd, he saw the woman's face clearly, or rather, he would never forget the woman's face for the rest of his life.
He was all too familiar.
Familiar to the point that when you dream at night, you can dream about it.
If there is a cycle of cause and effect in this world, this is exactly the case.
"Retribution." He thought.
Turning around and leaving the court, Zhang Tong did not go to Zhangfu, but returned to the yamen, and at that time, Yunsheng also arrived at the yamen.
She sat on a chair at the door of the autopsy room, holding a cup of hot tea, waiting for Zhang Jiusheng and Zhang Tong.
Zhang Jiusheng didn't come back, he went directly to Baishitang in his official uniform, and when Zhang Tong stepped into the courtyard of the autopsy room, he saw Yun Sheng sitting there looking at him with a smile.
"How's it going?" She asked.
"It's red beans." Zhang Tongdao.
Yun Sheng's smile slowly stiffened on her face, she looked at Zhang Tong, Zhang Tong's expression remained unchanged, and she also stood there, as if she had become a stake.
"You're lying."
In fact, Zhang Tong knew that he couldn't hide it from Yunsheng at all.
"She's not a red bean, red bean is gone."
Zhang Tong asked, "Who told you?" ”
"Nobody told me, I guessed." Yun Sheng sat down again, held the cup of hot tea, and said, "None of you will tell me, you, Guan Chu, and the second young master will not tell me, even the eldest young master will not tell me, he asked me to see it, it is nothing more than that I think I will only believe it if I see it with my own eyes." ”
Zhang Tong didn't speak.
Yun Sheng sighed, she was not angry, she was happy, they were all caring about her and protecting her.
"But you don't know, when Hongdou asked me not to watch her beheading, I knew that she would definitely not appear in the law field, and it was someone else who appeared in the law field." Yun Sheng stared at the teacup in front of her, the floating leaves were spinning in circles in front of her eyes, as if she was about to spin something, she looked at it and said slowly: "But who is the person who died in place?" Will anyone remember her? ”
Zhang Tong was expressionless, and only said: "She deserves it." ”
Yun Sheng was stunned and did not speak.
She had thought about this possibility for a long time, no one would be willing to die for another person, unless she did something unforgivable, only death was liberation.
"You know her, and you know her well." Yun Sheng turned his head and looked fixedly at Zhang Tong, who suddenly had some kind of hatred: "Who are you, Zhang Tong?" ”
