An Zheng sat on the stool a little tired, the night outside was getting darker and darker, calculating the time, this was the darkest period before dawn. Before and after, so many people came to the rain to kill him, but Zhu Xiaojian never showed up.

An Zheng didn't scold the street, he didn't get annoyed, because he knew who Zhu Xiaojian was from the beginning.

"Uncle, I killed people all night, and you didn't stop all night, are you waiting for me to die to confirm your previous prophecy?"

An Zheng also turned out a pipe, asked the old man who sold steamed buns for some tobacco, lit it, took a deep breath, and spit out the smoke like a monster swallowing clouds and spitting fog. The old man sat behind An Zheng and sighed, then glanced at the steamed buns on the table that had cooled.

"Count me in losing. ”

He picked up the bun and returned it to the cage drawer, squatting beside An Zheng: "Have you been betrayed?"

"Uncle, you have talked so much, you have seen so many life and death vendettas, you are still alive and well...... It's not easy. ”

The old man laughed: "Because I only sell steamed buns." ”

An Zheng: "This reason is not good...... What is your position in the Detective Division?"

An Zheng took off the sign and handed it to the old man: "Is my brand bigger than you or smaller than you?"

The old man shook his head helplessly: "I won't be able to sell buns in the future." ”

He clenched his hands into fists: "Humble to meet the prosecutor captain." ”

"Your life is not good. ”

An Zheng took back the sign: "You have been selling buns in Lucheng for thirty years, and you are not as high as my official position, don't you feel aggrieved?"

"Thirty-six years. ”

The old man straightened up and took off the dirty patched clothes on his body, which was a black brocade robe with purple gold thread patterns. At the moment when he stood up, his stiff body suddenly straightened out, which made people feel a little distressed.

"It's not thirty years, it's thirty-six years, since Nie Xiangtai left Yancheng to open Tai'an Academy in Lucheng, I have been selling steamed buns here. The reason why my position has always been like this is probably because I don't have to work hard, just sell a bun. ”

An Zheng: "This joke is a bit cold. ”

The old man laughed: "My lord, are you blaming the prosecutor?"

An Zheng: "Don't blame me, blame me for not being strong enough." ”

The old man said, "That's what the adults said." ”

At this moment, a faint layer of red appeared in the eastern sky, which soon became red, and then the sun with Phnom Penh reluctantly lifted up from the horizon, as if attached to the warm bed at home. It's a new day, and it's a new beginning.

I don't know when the rain has stopped, and the water on the ground is not too much and no less than the surface of my feet. A group of people came in stagnant water, not caring about the expensive boots on their feet. This is a group of people who look very imposing, derived from the brocade clothes of the Detective Department on their bodies. The morning was a little cool, but it seemed that these people looked hot, and as they walked over, scattered raindrops hit their brocade clothes, and the splashes they picked up reflected a reluctant rainbow.

Zhu Xiaojian seemed a little tired, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. With a snap, a thing was thrown at An Zheng's feet, it was a thing wrapped in a black cloth, and after it landed on the ground, it rolled around a few times, and soon dyed the stagnant water red, and the blood that seeped out of the black cloth package still had a little fishy smell.

"It's good that you're not dead. ”

Zhu Xiaojian sat down on the chair, picked up the steamed bun that had just been warmed and ate it: "If you die, it is the most boring thing to add any reward to the dead." Even if you are given an official who is older than me, no one will share your brilliance with someone like you who doesn't even have family and friends around you. Besides, dead is dead, no matter how good it is, it's a fart. ”

He finished the bun in two bites and groaned comfortably.

"Your mission is over, go back to Yancheng to report for duty. ”

Zhu Xiaojian escaped from his arms and threw an envelope on the table: "With this thing, you will be promoted to the prosecutor lieutenant when you get to the Detective Affairs Division, which is older than your current officer, and has more money, and the most important thing is ...... You can stay in Yancheng for retirement. ”

The old man who sold the bun smiled bitterly, picked up the envelope and looked at it, and then put it in his arms: "Humble Lord Xie." ”

"No need to thank me...... You have been in Yancheng for thirty-six years, which is a long time. Most of the news was passed back from you, and the Detective Division's merit book made a very important note back to you. I know you're not feeling comfortable either, go back to Yancheng to retire? You worked hard for thirty-six years in exchange for a pension? But there is no way, I am not the sole one in charge of the Investigation Department, there is also a pacification envoy above, and the seat ......."

"I understand. ”

The old man bowed his head: "I have been here for thirty-six years, and I will be examined after I go back to see if I have been bought." ”

Zhu Xiaojian nodded: "It's good if you understand, just get through it, I will transfer you to my side when I turn around, Sulan County is not far from here." To tell you the truth, you have been outside for thirty-six years, and you have been promoted to the rank of prosecutor, and you have been excluded in Yancheng after you go back, which is something I can think of without reminding you. People are different, this guy has only just entered the Department of Detectives and has become a prosecutor lieutenant, and he seems to be more lucky than you, but you can live for thirty-six years for a mission, he and I ...... There is no tomorrow. ”

The old man clenched his fists and said goodbye, without a trace of nostalgia.

Zhu Xiaojian poured himself a cup of herbal tea to drink, and when he poured it down, the amplitude of the Adam's apple was very large.

"Blame me?"

He asked.

An Zheng did not speak.

"I know what you mean, if all you have left in your heart is to scold your mother, then don't say it. ”

Zhu Xiaojian pointed to the black cloth package, someone went over to pick it up and opened it, and inside was a white-haired but blood-stained human head. An Zheng had seen this person and guessed that it would be like this.

Nie Xiangtai's head.

"Your Excellency doesn't like to doubt people, because he employs people without suspicion. But Your Excellency can't doubt it, and our people in the Detective Affairs Department can't help but doubt it. The existence of the Detective Department is because Lord Jun is well aware of his weaknesses. He was too generous to others, so many things had to be done by the Department of Detectives. If Nie Xiangtai is really just a dean, it would be enough to enjoy the respect of everyone...... But he was greedy, and many people were greedy. You also know that the rule of the monarch is different from other places, you are also from the territory of the Nine Holy Sect, you know how terrible the control of the Immortal Master's Mansion is over the human world, but it is different here, the monarch has been fighting for his own life and is still fighting, it is these three different words. ”

An Zheng raised his head and said word by word: "What's the matter with me?"

Zhu Xiaojian shook his head helplessly: "It's okay to complain, don't go too far." ”

An Zheng laughed: "I'll carry the thunder for you here, you say I don't go too far?"

Zhu Xiaojian: "You are already a member of the Detective Department. ”

"My life is my own. ”

An Zheng's answer was categorical.

Zhu Xiaojian was silent for a while and then said, "Whose life is your own...... Since we don't talk about feelings, let's talk about feelings, let's talk about conditions. How much do you think is it worth?"

An Zheng pondered for a while and then said seriously: "I want to go to Yancheng Baisheng Academy, no matter how many places there are in the Sulan County Branch, no matter how many powerful people are staring at this place, it must be mine." ”

Zhu Xiaojian said: "It's light, think about another one." ”

An Zheng said: "My sister stays in the Sulan County Branch, you guarantee that she will not be harmed, and you are not allowed to let her go until she has the ability to break into the rivers and lakes." I helped you ask for so many people's lives, I only ask you to save the life of this one person, so good, not a single hair can fall out. ”

"Okay. ”

Zhu Xiaojian stood up: "You should go, the people from the Sulan County Branch are still waiting for you at the inn, you have completed the task of the second task point, got ten yuan crystals, and you can set off now." The third task point is in Yishui Lake, the bottom of the lake, don't think about it, the task is temporarily changed by me...... The previous mission was too easy for you, and the hundreds of heads out there told me that you are more capable, so the mission has to be changed. There was a shipwreck at the bottom of Yishui Lake, and someone sank the boat when Lord Jun was playing in Yishui Lake, and there were some things on the boat that I didn't have time to bring out......"

An Zheng asked: "So this time when I went out to practice, is it the task of the Sulan County Branch or the task of the Detective Division." ”

"Is there a difference?"

Zhu Xiaojian stood up and breathed heavily, and in the early morning, the breath exhaled seemed very white and thick.

"I'm so tired......"

He patted An Zheng's shoulder: "I just said to that person that you and I have no tomorrow, but it was actually wrong...... I don't have a tomorrow, you have. ”

He took out a sign made of white jade from his arms and handed it to An Zheng: "This is the brand of the deputy prosecutor, from now on, your status in my yamen is only lower than mine." Give me back that piece of the prosecutor's, it's iron, it's worthless. This piece is jade, and if you are down, you can change it for wine. ”

An Zheng: "You're also an outlier in the Detective Division, right?"

Zhu Xiaojian: "Be respectful, be respectful to me." ”

An Zheng took the sign and handed over the sign of the prosecutor captain.

Zhu Xiaojian looked at the sky: "You killed hundreds of people here, do you know how many I killed last night?"

"Don't want to know. ”

"I want you to know...... Seven thousand. ”

Zhu Xiaojian rubbed his eyes: "I really don't want to kill." ”

An Zheng was speechless and didn't want to say anything more.

At the inn, Yuan Yandi leaned against the door frame and waited for An Zheng to come back, holding a hairy grass in his mouth that he didn't know where to pull out. This is a woman who doesn't look like a woman in terms of personality, but she is full of femininity all over her body. The little fat man Rafi ran out when he saw An Zheng coming back, and his face was excited.

Yuan Yandi spat off the hair grass and turned into the house, as if he was not waiting for An Zheng at all.

"Senior brother, why did you go?"

"Eat steamed buns. ”

"Ate overnight?"

"Yes. ”

"And how many buns do you have to eat?"

"Human blood buns. ”

An Zheng asked, "Do you eat?"

Rafi hurriedly shook his head: "Don't eat...... Resolutely do not eat. ”

An Zheng patted him on the shoulder: "It's best not to eat, don't eat now, don't eat in the future, never eat." Because once you eat human blood steamed buns, your heart changes. I feel like I've changed now, I'm not the same as I used to be. I ate hundreds of human blood steamed buns in one night, and all I wanted was to be closer to her, a little closer. ”

In the inn, Yuan Yandi, who was walking, stopped, and his hands trembled imperceptibly. Then she put her hand in her trouser pocket as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk forward with the same hanging appearance, and no one saw the change in her eyes, and no one saw that it was a kind of remorse......

She looked up at the sky, and through the roof, she couldn't see anything.

But she saw that Kuang Dashan and Qi Lianying were standing on the second floor, holding on to the railing, looking at An Zheng with a sneer.
