Chapter 172: Farewell
The long figure in front of him paused, and only turned his head after a while, still with a gentle smile on his face, and used a joking tone: "What did you say?" ”
For a moment, I wanted to hide the entanglement and pain in my heart, and returned him with an innocent smile, and said coquettishly: "It's just a joke." ”
But rooted in my heart, the moral cleanliness that runs through two lifetimes, like a noble but ruthless hand, obligates me to push me back on a path of no return.
I raised my head, looked at his deep phoenix eyes, and said word by word: "You are also involved in Zhang Qiang's fraud case, right?" ”
He looked at me for a few seconds, and finally walked back to me, his tone very calm: "Why does Yue'er think so? ”
I pulled something out of my sleeve and put it in my palm: "Do you remember this lock?" ”
He picked it up and looked at it for a while, "This little lock is the same as the one on the storage cabinet in Hengjian Hall. "Look up at me," Yue'er thinks, what's wrong with this lock? ”
Under his clear gaze, I lowered my eyes instead, staring at the small brass lock in my palm, "Do you remember that when you and I went to Hengjian Hall that day, Wu Liu took a lot of trouble to open the lock, and he couldn't reach it anyway, and he searched all over Hengjian Hall, but he couldn't find anything to step on." ”
"Of course I remember, I opened it for him in the end."
I sighed lightly, "Crown Princess Zhang, her stature is not taller than Wu Liu, and she is pregnant. Wu Liu couldn't open the lock, how could the crown princess open it? ”
When I said this, I suddenly raised my head, facing Qin Lang's shrunken pupils, and I felt that one of my hearts hurt like a pinprick.
"You once told me that the princess was waiting for her in Hengjian Hall, but Miss Fu Hui and a little eunuch Wei Gonggong, and the only one who went with the princess was her personal maid Thrush, and these three subordinates were not taller than Wu Liu, so it was impossible to open the big lock of the storage cabinet. If they wanted to move something from outside the Hengjian Hall, it would be quiet in the dead of night, and it would easily arouse the vigilance of the prince and the guards outside the door. ”
Qin Lang's phoenix eyes showed an intriguing look: "So, what do you mean?" ”
"I was also puzzled by this, and it was not until yesterday that I met the old craftsman who made the lock, and I was enlightened to find that in this reasoning I had always neglected a person." I stared straight into his eyes, "That's you." ”
Qin Lang was stunned for a moment, but the corners of his lips pulled out a rather helpless smile: "So, do you suspect that I opened the lock of the paper storage cabinet and put Zhang Qiang's forged test paper in?" ”
I pursed my lips and didn't answer.
He took two steps closer to me, stretched out his hand to support my shoulder, and used a very soft tone, "Yue'er, I appreciate your way of deducing that the case does not leave any dead ends. However, you always say that the judgment should be based on the evidence, and the crime should be based on the motive, and I ask you: Where is the evidence? What is the motivation? ”
I lowered my eyes and looked at the small copper lock in my palm again: "Yesterday, when I opened this lock for the first time, I was ridiculed by Li Lei, saying that the keyhole was obviously on the left side, but I took the key and poked it on the right side. I realized that this lock is quite unique, most of the wide locks have a keyhole on the right side, which is to adapt to people's habit of holding keys in their right hands, but this lock, and the large brass lock on the locker, are the opposite. According to the old craftsman who made the lock, it was because the former head of the Gongyuan Huang Yuan, who entrusted him with the lock, was a left-handed person, so he specially asked for the keyhole to be placed on the left side. ”
"And you." I took his hands and spread them out in front of me, my fingertips caressing the thin calluses on his hands, "It's not left-handed, as evidenced by the fact that the calluses on your right hand and fingertips are thicker than those on your left hand." And on that day, the lock on the storage cabinet was quite high, and it was impossible to see where the keyhole was at a glance......
At that time, you took the key from Wu Liu's hand, and cleanly unlocked it from the keyhole on the left side, without hesitation...... "A sneer pulled out at the corner of my lips: "Excuse me, why is this?" ”
Qin Lang held my hand stiffly, a shocked expression passed silently at the corner of his eyes, and the corners of his thin lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.
I bit my lower lip and simply made it clear: "That's because you didn't even open that lock before." And there is only one reason why you can open that lock, that is, entrusted by someone, I put Zhang Qiang's counterfeit transcription volume into it without knowing it. ”
At this point, Qin Lang's figure finally trembled, and he turned his head to stop looking at me, "Yue'er should know that I have nothing to do with the Zhang family......
"You have nothing to do with the Zhang family, I believe that. However, Zhang Qiang's fraud may not have much to do with the Zhang family. This matter, like Xiaoshu's case, was a trap for the prince from beginning to end. ”
Speaking of this, my heart sank, and I looked up at Qin Lang again, and there was already a bit of burning resentment in my eyes: "Are you also involved in the case of Xiaoshu being wronged?" ”
"I didn't!" Qin Lang replied almost subconsciously, and a flustered look crossed his face, but it made me feel more and more cold.
Under the light of my aggressive eyes, he finally hung his head. After a while, he took a deep breath, "Yue'er, I admit it, Zhang Qiang's matter is just as you said. But if I tell you, I have done this at the behest of His Highness......"
I sneered mercilessly: "You and Your Second Highness are indeed getting closer and closer!" ”
"I'm not ......"
He was about to open his mouth to argue, but unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred, and a very thin sound of breaking the air crossed, Qin Lang's eyes quickly grabbed me to the side, I only felt a faint blue light flashing in front of my eyes, and disappeared in an instant.
Qin Lang unsheathed the long sword in his hand, blocking me behind him, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?!" ”
I poked my head out of his side and saw a tall woman opposite Qin Lang, with purple clothes fluttering and her face like a peach and plum, which one is not purple smoke?
Ziyan hid her face with her sleeves and laughed, her eyes swept over Qin Lang's face, but her tone seemed to be coquettish: "People are here to help you solve your troubles, and you still have to be so fierce." After that, he glanced at me sideways, and the murderous corner of his eye appeared, "He has seen through what you have done, and you still have to protect him, aren't you afraid that he will bite you like a snake?" ”
The sword in Qin Lang's hand froze, and his tone became more and more cold: "I said earlier, if you dare to touch her again, I will not spare you!" ”
Ziyan was not angry, but shook his head and said: "What a persistent infatuated man, he doesn't look at the best in the world like me, but he has a deep love for a little girl, which is really envious, jealous and hateful." ”
Only then did I recall that after a few photos with Ziyan, I was dressed in men's clothes.
But when he heard Ziyan, he suddenly said: "If you don't kill him today, you will be confessed by him after all, and it will not be difficult for you to get out at that time, why should you let the Lord believe in you again?" ”
Lord ...... My heart sank.
Qin Lang sneered: "I have my own plans for this matter, so I don't have to worry about it." ”
Ziyan's expression became more and more lamented: "It is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, but now it seems that this beautiful man is not easy to pass...... Let me see what a stunning little face it is, which can fascinate this cold-blooded wolf......"
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, but the hand hidden in the wide sleeve suddenly activated, and a life-seeking light suddenly hit me!
Fortunately, Qin Lang was shocked, swung his sword, and then bullied forward, fighting with Ziyan.
I watched coldly for a long time before I realized that the weapon used by Ziyan was an extremely thin silver filament, just like the spider silk of Spider-Man in the movie in my previous life, and it killed people invisibly.
I remembered that my master, the old Taoist, had mentioned a rare kind of kung fu that originated from a foreign country in Mobei: the Celestial Maiden Flying Silk.
Could it be that this purple smoke is actually a foreigner?
I was thinking about it, but I suddenly heard a low moan from the purple smoke, looked up again, and saw that she suddenly retreated a few steps, and the shoulder covered with her hand was red and opened, obviously hit Qin Lang's sword.
"You ......" Ziyan's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I'll go and show the Lord to see if he can spare you!" ”
Qin Lang turned his head and didn't look at her: "It's up to you." ”
Ziyan cast a angry glance and flew away. The sky was bright, and the sky was a blood-colored sunrise.
I took one last look at the long, jade figure, and turned and stepped into the crimson sunlight.
I vaguely heard the voice behind me, depressed and low, "Yue'er ......"
I covered my heart with one hand, and my throat was sweet, but I felt a mouthful of blood stain my lips and tongue.
I looked up and swallowed it hard, my feet not stopping.
"You go, I will never see you again, and my life and death will have nothing to do with you from now on."
As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard the sound of a long sword falling to the ground behind me.
I didn't look back, and a resolute sneer appeared on the corner of my bloody lips:
"Qin Lang, I will never see you again!"
- The title of the gold list ends
"Moving?"
Pan Gongzi was so shocked that even the jade bone fan in his hand fell to the ground.
I bent down to pick it up for him and handed it to him, but he grabbed his wrist unexpectedly.
"But because of me," he said, staring at the fan that I was still holding on to one end of the other, and his tone was cautious, "the two inappropriate words and manners before have angered the girl...... It is a sin that deserves death. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Brother is brother, I don't force it anymore, why do you hide from me thousands of miles away?" ”
Pan Gongzi's low appearance made me really sad, and he shook his head again and again: "Childe doesn't have to be arrogant, it really has nothing to do with you." ”
"And why?"
My eyes darkened, I looked up and smiled to myself: "Life, not only the things in front of me, but also poetry and distance." I'm tired of living in one place, so I want to change the environment. The last time we went, I liked it very much, and it happened to be near the 24th Bridge of Slender West Lake, there was a small house for sale, so I wanted to take my family to live for a while. ”
I thought that what I said was decent and beautiful, but after speaking, under the warm and inquiring gaze of Mr. Pan, I gradually felt a little weak.
