Gu Li gritted his teeth and stared at the plate of peanuts in front of him, his mind racing.

If he had known today, he would not have stumbled himself by saying this sentence in the first place.

But it's too late to say anything now.

He knew that Wu Zhidun's fat head and big ears would have such a high level of wisdom and such courage to steal the country? It's all because of the person in front of you.

"You ......" Before Gu Li could say anything, he saw a person suddenly appear at the door of the inn.

Another acquaintance.

Zhang Zhen saw him like this, turned around and looked over, and smiled.

"I didn't expect it, I called him." Zhang Zhen said.

"He's your eldest brother after all, why are you involved in him?" Gu Li couldn't wait to jump up and grab him by the collar and throw him out of here.

Zhang Tong stood at the door and looked around a few times, and then saw two people sitting in the corner.

The atmosphere is tense.

"Big brother? Commander Gu, what are you talking about? Zhang Zhen sneered, pinched the wine glass in his hand, and rubbed his fingers on the rim of the glass, round and round.

"Gu Li......" Zhang Tong walked to the table, first saw Gu Li, and then saw Zhang Zhen, he hesitated for a moment, and then called him: "Xiao Zhen, you ...... it"

"Don't call it so affectionately, as if we know each other well." Zhang Zhen was not polite at all, and he didn't even glance at Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong was embarrassed for a long time, and finally Gu Li pulled him to sit down, and by the way, he asked Xiao Er for an extra pair of chopsticks.

"Lin Lubai is dead, you should know, right?" When Zhang Zhen said this, his eyes were looking at Gu Li.

He was knowingly asking.

Zhang Tong's hand was placed under the table and quietly clenched.

"I know, I watched her head hit the ground."

Zhang Zhen suddenly turned his head towards Zhang Tong, and the distance between the two people's faces seemed to be only one fist.

Listening to him deliberately lowered his voice, almost only breath, but Zhang Tongqing clearly heard his voice fall in front of his ear: "Do you feel happy?" ”

Zhang Tong clenched his teeth and remained silent.

"But I'm not happy." The corners of Zhang Zhen's raised lips suddenly drooped, and in his pupils, those blood streaks crawled to the center like spider webs, and his hand grabbed Zhang Tong's collar tightly for some time.

"I love her, I have loved her from the beginning, all of you know it, but you refuse to let go of her life." Zhang Zhen pushed Zhang Tong away again, pushing Zhang Tong's ass to sit on the bench, and Gu Li reached out to support Zhang Tong's slightly shaking body.

"Zhang Zhen, Lin Lubai's matter, you know very well that she can't live."

"Just because Nalan died." Zhang Zhen lowered his eyes and laughed softly.

Zhang Tong was silent for a long time, picked up the wine on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and said: "The matter of Nalan and Lin Lubai, we will talk about it later, now I want to ask you, are you really helping the surname Wu?" ”

Zhang Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Yes, I'm helping him, how about it?" ”

"Do you know this is a big rebellion?!" The green tendons on Zhang Tong's forehead jumped and jumped, and he tried to hold back his irritability, and he also tried not to immediately punch the person in front of him in the face.

Zhang Zhen pursed his lips and said very easily: "From the time you took Lu Bai away, I was already planning to do it against you." Li Hongzhi wants to get back his Li family in peace, dreaming! ”

"Lin Lubai's death was not ordered by the Holy Lord." Gu Li said in a hoarse voice.

"I don't care, you're his men, and whatever you decide, it's for him, aren't you?"

Zhang Zhen was right, Gu Li and Zhang didn't know what to say at the same time, but they were silent until Zhang Zhen drank the wine in his hand and walked away.

When he came to Fan County this time, Gu Li didn't plan to see Zhang Tong.

Although the two have known each other for more than ten years, because of Nalan's affairs, the two have never met again.

This time, it was probably calculated by Zhang Zhen again.

"He called you?" Gu Li broke the silence.

Zhang Tong pinched the wine glass in his hand, nodded, then looked up at Gu Li again, and said, "I didn't expect him to call you too." ”

Gu Li shook his head: "He didn't call me, I was already sitting here, and he probably found out that I came to Fan County a long time ago, so he has been following me." ”

"Oh." Zhang Tong smiled, but the smile didn't enter his eyes.

It turns out that it has always been himself who has been calculated.

"Lin Lubai ......" Gu Li stopped talking and licked his lips: "I brought it to Fan County behind my back." ”

"She asked for it, didn't she?"

Zhang Tong directly exposed the lie that Gu Li was about to say, although he really wanted to see Lin Lu die in vain, but he felt that people died like lights going out, and when they died, there was really nothing, and she would no longer feel guilty or suffer.

People are very contradictory.

Zhang Tong is like this now.

After Nalan left, she tried many ways to kill herself, and later the Holy Lord talked to her once. After that, she did not seek death again, she ate and slept as usual, but she did not talk to anyone, nor did she cry or laugh, like a walking corpse. Gu Li drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, his expression serious.

"She wants to see Nalan." Zhang Tong's eyes were straight and he didn't know where he was staring.

Gu Li didn't speak.

"Leave her alone, she'll be dead anyway, if ......"

Hearing Zhang Tong say something halfway, Gu Li raised his head, he seemed to know what Zhang Tong was going to say.

"If Xiao Zhen really did such a thing, don't take care of my feelings, do what you have to do." Zhang Tong calmed down, then stood up and left the inn.

Gu Li was left alone.

A plate of peanuts and a small bottle of wine, Gu Li drank it alone until the sunset.

Zhang Tong is the yamen who returned directly, since Lin Lubai was taken away by Gu Li, Zhang Zhen has also disappeared, and after so many years, he has not contacted Zhang Tong once.

The two brothers, although they have the same blood, are not the same kind of people.

Now, Zhang Zhen has made it clear that he wants to stand on the opposite side of him, and he wants to deal with Li Hongzhi, and he is also dealing with him.

Actually, he should have thought of it a long time ago.

A person like Wu Zhidun, with no background and no façade, can sit all the way to the position of deputy prime minister, and now he is ambitious and wants to steal the country, it is impossible that there is no smart person behind him.

But Zhang Tong never thought that this person would be his own brother.

Things are more troublesome.

If it were someone else, he would definitely be able to do it, but this person was Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Tong grabbed his hair and sat by the well at the door of the autopsy, not even knowing when Guan Chu came.

"What are you doing?" Guan Chu suddenly spoke, which really startled Zhang Tong.

"Surprise me, when did you come? What are you doing? Another death? Zhang Tong asked three questions in a row, and directly asked Guan Chu stupidly.

Guan Chu scratched his head: "No one died, but it was indeed something." ”

"What's the matter?" Because he saw Guan Ning's matter, Zhang Tong is now on guard against Guan Chu everywhere.

Guan Chu, who was stunned, couldn't notice it, and followed Zhang Tongdao into the house, and said as he walked: "I found out...... My dad has been weird lately. ”

Zhang Tong raised his eyebrows, and pondered in his heart, could it be that Guan Ning planned to confess to Guan Chu soon? So now start to hint at Guan Chu?

"How?" Zhang Tong asked while thinking wildly in his head.

"My dad has been running a lot lately, and he used to rarely even go on the street. Several times, when I got up at night, I saw my father coming back from outside, still very tired, and fell asleep. Guan Chu poked Zhang Tong's shoulder and asked, "You say, is there someone outside for my father?" ”

"Yes...... What's there? Someone? Who? Zhang Tong didn't react at once, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood: "That's not necessarily, you see that you are already so old, it is really not easy for Uncle Guan to feed you with a handful of and urine, and Uncle Guan is not very old now, and the treasure knife is not old, it is understandable to find you a stepmother to spend your old age with." ”

"Well, you're right." Guan Chu nodded: "Then I'...... Would you like to talk to my dad? I see that he always goes out at night, probably avoiding me, afraid that I will not agree, can I disagree? I am his son. ”

"Yes, yes, you hurry up and talk to Uncle Guan, at such an age, you can't be lonely. You will have to marry a wife and have children in the future, and when the time comes, your father will be alone and look at it, how pitiful! Zhang Tong pushed Guan Chu and kicked him out of the autopsy room by the way.

Guan Chu stood outside, and wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhang Tong had already turned around to go about his own business, he didn't bother anymore, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to talk to his father.

This should happen sooner rather than later.

Not long after Guan Chu left, Yun Sheng came, and brought her book collected from Zhou Xuanming's house.

"Zhang Tong, Zhang Tong......" Yun Sheng wrapped the three layers of the book tightly and the outer three layers tightly, and then hid it in his arms, sticking it to the door of the autopsy room like a thief, and lowered his voice to call.

Zhang Tongzheng took out a little mouse from a bamboo basket, heard someone calling him behind him, turned around and saw Yun Sheng's eyes glowing, blazing.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, my complexion is much better, what's wrong?"

"I'll show you something." Yun Sheng was cautious, and looked behind him before entering the door.

Because of her, Zhang Tong also became cautious.

The two got together, only to see Yun Sheng take out the "Inspection Record" from his arms, and then open the wrapped handkerchief layer by layer.

Suddenly, when the words on the book cover appeared and came into view, Zhang Tong's eyes widened suddenly, and almost subconsciously blocked the book cover with his hand, and then closed the door of the autopsy room.

"Where did the book come from?!"

Yun Sheng thought that Zhang Tong would be excited when he saw this book, but he never thought that Zhang Tong would be so excited.

She was a little overwhelmed and stammered to reply, "From ...... Got it from Mr. Zhou's house. ”

"Mr. Zhou?"

"Yes, after Mr. Zhou died, I went to Mr. Zhou's house to look for clues, and I saw it in his study, and I thought it should help me learn the method of autopsy, so I brought it." Yun Sheng said timidly, and finally added: "I've seen it almost." ”

Zhang Tong sighed, took the book in his hand, and stroked it gently, like caressing a lost treasure.

"Zhang Tong?" Yun Sheng cautiously called out his name.

"Thank you, Yunsheng, I've been looking for this book for a long time, but I didn't expect to see this book in my lifetime." Zhang Tong vaguely seemed to have red eyes.

Yun Sheng was a little stunned: "That...... Look, I'm going to talk to the adults for a while. ”

"Okay, thank you." Zhang Tong thanked him again, but he didn't send Yunsheng, and his eyes were almost glued to the book.

Holding the book, Zhang Tong almost stood unsteadily, and finally muttered a person's name between his lips and teeth: "Nalan." ”
