Three years ago, the shocking bloody case of Beiyu Palace shocked the world.

The hospital sentenced Shen Linchuan to be drunk when he was on duty, and mistakenly sent the abortion medicine as a fetal pill to the pregnant concubines in each palace, and all the concubines who took the medicine had miscarriages.

The matter was handed over to Liu Mingxiu, the newly appointed servant of the Criminal Department.

It coincides with the autumn equinox, the weather is cool, the osmanthus flowers in Beijing are blooming for the first time, the fragrance is far and clear, on this day, the sky is clear, the breeze is warm, and it is a good day for execution.

Near the execution ground at the entrance of the vegetable market were all lively people, and a purple-robed official sat on a high platform, looking up to the sky and waiting for the hour.

There was a lot of discussion below, this official was too young, a pair of eyebrows and eyes were clear and deep, his slightly immature face was not shocked, as if he had seen too much life and death, a pair of knuckled hands pinched the fire stick, only the tense body leaked a trace of uneasiness.

"Who is he?" Someone asked.

"Who else is in the third rank at a young age, he is Liu Mingxiu, the servant of the criminal department who sent the Shen family to the guillotine."

"Tsk." Everyone listened with their ears pricked up, interjecting from time to time, "This Shen Yuan's sentence is also pitiful, seeing that he is about to return to his hometown, but he gave his life away, and he drank and made a mistake." ”

"It is not unjust that he is the only one who poisoned the imperial heir."

"Who knows, our Majesty is moody and may implicate his family. Ouch. ”

"Say what?" A woman raised her hand and knocked on his head, "The roots of the imperial city are also up to you to talk nonsense, don't you die?" ”

The crowd let out a slight laugh, completely ignoring the bleak fate of the prisoners on the stage.

"But looking at this Lord Liu, the dragon and the phoenix, there will be many good stories in the capital in the future."

"Look, look, it's time to be executed."

The executioner grabbed Shen Linchuan's hair, forced him to raise his head, and let Liu Mingxiu see his face clearly, this is to verify that he will be executed after his death, looking at each other, Shen Linchuan is actually old tears, as if he has remorse, but he did not defend himself for half a sentence, Liu Mingxiu looked at him for a long time, his masseter muscles tightened, and said as if admonishing: "Lord Shen, on Huangquan Road, take care." ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, an order was given, and the execution was carried out.

The onlookers below closed their eyes in fright, blood gushed out, some splashed on Liu Mingxiu's official robe, and a human head fell to the ground, and Liu Mingxiu's eyes did not blink.

I thought that with Shen Linchuan's beheading, the matter would come to an end, but no one expected that the emperor would order all the relatives of the Shen Mansion to be imprisoned, and a cup of poisoned wine ended everyone's lives.

Shen Linchuan's youngest daughter, Shen Ci, has a pure and lovely appearance, and Liu Mingxiu still remembers that he hid in the corner and listened to her scolding him, without the appearance of a lady.

Across the wooden fence in the dark, Liu Mingxiu's expression was cold, and he should be worthy of the "cold-blooded judge" sent to him by the world.

Three years later, Liu Mingxiu was on the rise, the official worshiped the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the holy family was thick.

After the events of that year, the emperor intensified, indulged in alcohol all day long, and was addicted to killing, but he only favored Liu Mingxiu, the officials were miserable, the people were not happy, and Liu Mingxiu became a "traitor" in the mouth of the people.

At the age of twenty-two, he was named a "traitor", which is unprecedented.

Back then, when he personally sent Shen Ci away, she was only fifteen, and before the day of the day fell, he sent a kindness, collected the body for her, and buried it in a deserted garden at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city.

It's autumn again, the fallen leaves are yellow, the dirt road is dusty, the tea stall outside the city gate is ushered in, a white cloth is on the shoulder, I hear a sound on my face, and I am happy to hear a new guest, and I mention a smile and say loudly: "The guest officer wants to drink ......"

Before he finished speaking, he only felt an afterimage pass in front of him, swishing towards the city, and then when he rubbed his eyes, where was there any new guest, he couldn't help muttering: "Hell yes?" ”

……

Liu Mingxiu has become more and more dull and unpredictable over the years, and every day after the next court, he locks himself in his own yard, and several subordinates who are waiting for him are anxious, and they change their methods to make him happy.

One day, the housekeeper Mober brought a gold wire cage, and when he saw Liu Mingxiu glancing at it with interest, the flattering smile on his face was still undiminished, and he carried the cage to him and introduced it enthusiastically.

"My lord, look, this is a newly born cat in the cat and dog workshop, and the slave looks at the clever one and uses it to relieve your boredom."

Liu Mingxiu has never liked these living creatures, so he pinched the day again, and waved his hand casually: "Give it to the winter, the girl likes it." ”

Mo Bo's smile stiffened, his mind was ignored and he was a little lost, and he wanted to persuade again, but he saw that Liu Mingxiu's face had sunk and he was about to turn around and leave, but the little guy in the cage "meowed" at Liu Mingxiu softly, and Liu Mingxiu's eyelashes were raised again.

This is a black and white little milk cat, born only a month, still very delicate, even the paws attached to the cage are pink and tender, its fur is shiny, combed meticulously with a grate, the body is very petite, like a small ball shrunk in a golden wire cage, look at it is a cute look.

Liu Mingxiu looked at it for a while, met its dark eyes, and his heart froze, but he smiled rarely.

"Put it down, call the winter to serve."

This breed of cat originally had brown eyes, but this one was born different, the little milk cat raised its head, and its dark eyes stared at Liu Mingxiu for a moment, the indescribable complexity of the gaze made Liu Mingxiu see a trace of human emotion, his heart moved, and he was about to raise his hand to tease it, but it took a step back as if guarded, and stared vigilantly at Liu Mingxiu's outstretched hand.

Liu Mingxiu smiled, and sat back upright: "What about the flattery of Fang Cai? ”

The little milk cat whimpered, turned away from him, and turned her butt directly at him, one tail hanging listlessly outside the cage.

Shen Ci thought, if it weren't for staying, who would please you?

Shen Ci never thought that she could borrow the corpse to return her soul after being buried in the wilderness for three years, but unfortunately the body she borrowed was a little milk cat who had just been born in Liufu for a month, and she had a lot of resentment in her heart, and she couldn't accept it in the two days when she just came back to life, and she thought that she might be able to be reborn again if she died, but she didn't dare to bet that she could live to be a cat and stay by his side, and she could be angry when she scratched him twice when she was unhappy.

When you're dead, there's nothing.
