I heard that the young lady of the family was coming, and the Zhijian Bookstore arranged the elegant room three days in advance, the jade case was for the white plum, the carved beam was hung with green yarn, and the red Luo charcoal incense was burned all day long, and the house was as warm as spring, and there was no trace of cold.

Mr. Chen, the manager of the bookstore, personally inspected it several times, and was very satisfied, confident that no matter how delicate the young lady at home was, he would not be wronged here.

Who knew that the carriage of the family had really arrived that day, but the one who jumped out of it was a girl with her hair tied up and robes without fat powder, except for her slightly delicate face, her whole body was dressed like a boy by eight points.

It really has nothing to do with the word "delicate"!

Mr. Chen didn't dare to look more, so he lowered his head and bowed down and said, "The eldest lady must be tired from the car." There is a place to rest in the back, and the tea and towels are complete, please move. ”

The voice fell for a long time, but there was no response, and there was an eerie silence in front of the door for a while.

Mr. Chen waited until his back stiffened, so he had to straighten up again and raise his head and look at the visitor: "Miss? ”

No one answered. The eldest lady with strange makeup just looked up at the plaque on the door, and the whole person was a little dumbfounded, not only could she not hear him speak, but she was even unaware that her shoulder was hit by a passerby.

That's not a good thing. Mr. Chen wiped his sweat and took another step forward, raising his voice: "Miss! ”

This time there is finally an echo.

Liu Wencian woke up in shock, subconsciously took two steps back, and frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

Mr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and bowed down again: "Miss, you have been standing here for a long time. Could it be that there is something wrong with this plaque? ”

It turned out that she was just distracted.

Liu Wencian shook his head thoughtfully: "There is nothing wrong with it. I was just...... Didn't think of it. ”

I didn't expect that I thought it was an accident, but it also has its own fate in the dark.

More than ten years ago, when she sat in the carriage and watched the little girl kneeling on the ground and thanking her for saving her life through the gorgeous beaded curtain, she could never have imagined that there would be such a day, she and her died with hatred, she disappeared without a trace, and she became her.

Therefore, good causes have their own good results, and this heaven and earth should have its reason. Now that someone has replaced heaven with domineering, whitewashed deception with clever words, and erased the truth with power, she insists on demanding justice as a party concerned, isn't it too much?

When idlers began to look at him nearby, Liu Wencian lost the emotions in his eyes and turned his head to look at Mr. Chen: "I remember that there used to be a guy here named Hu Si, and he is still not here?" ”

"Hu Si?" Mr. Chen was stunned, and then nodded hurriedly: "Yes, of course!" …… Just, how did the young lady recognize him? ”

"Call him." Liu Wen Cicada said.

She refused to elaborate, so Mr. Chen didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly invited her into the inner hall to settle down, and called someone to bring Hu Si over, but he was an ugly man with drooping eyes, a scar on the cheeks, and a lame beard.

The ugly man didn't dare to lift his head as soon as he entered the door, and he crawled on the ground like a paralyzed man and said "Miss Nafu", and then he didn't move.

Liu Wencian looked at him fixedly, and asked for a long time, "What's the matter with your legs?" ”

Hu Si kowtowed twice and refused to answer, so Mr. Chen sighed for him: "This is all the sins of the Xiliang people who were killed by God!" Miss, you don't know if you don't go out, that year Xiliang came into Kyoto, burned and looted on the street......"

"Don't lie." Liu Wencian interrupted him in a cold voice, still staring at Hu Si: "I want to listen to him himself." ”

Hu Si raised his head.

After only looking at each other for a moment, he immediately fell down again and kowtowed again: "Please spare the eldest lady...... The villain doesn't dare to lie, this leg is true, it was injured by Xiliang......"

Liu Wencian waved his hand to send Mr. Chen out, then stood up, walked up to Hu Si step by step, and condescended: "On the day the thieves break the city, you should be in Jizhou." More than 400 miles away, how did they break your leg? ”

Hu Si only jumped up when he heard the word "Jizhou", and his face turned pale: "You, you, you...... How do you know! ”

Liu Wencian looked at him and was coldly silent.

Hu Si clenched his fists and stood in place, vigilant and frightened, and after a long time, he barely calmed down, and asked in a dumb voice: "Who are you?" ”

"You missed my errand, and you dare to ask who I am." Liu Wen Cicada said.

Hu Si knelt down again with a bang, but he didn't crawl on the ground like before, but tilted his head with difficulty, trembling with excitement: "I didn't ...... I didn't make a mistake! I actually delivered the letter to Jizhou with my own hands...... It's just that on the way back, I heard that something had happened in Beijing, so I hurried back! - You're from Xihe Palace, aren't you? ”

Liu Wencian didn't answer his words, and asked again: "So you came back just in time to break the city in Xiliang?" ”

Hu Si wiped a handful of tears and shook his head.

knelt on the spot and was stunned for a long time, then gritted his teeth and shed tears, and said word by word: "It's not the Xiliang thief, it's the officers and soldiers...... My leg was broken by officers and soldiers! ”

He choked up, raised his hand and wiped his tears several times, and continued for a long time: "...... When I returned, the thieves had already retreated, and the four gates were garrisoned by our own officers and soldiers......"

"Then you want to go into the city, but they say that you are a spy of Xiliang, and you want to shoot it on the spot?" Liu Wencian asked.

Hu Si was robbed of what she was going to say, and she was at a loss for a while, so she could only nod in a daze, and added: "They killed a lot of people, all of them had white cloths on their heads, stared at the blood on the ground when they entered the city, and hurriedly walked inside...... They will all be interrogated, and they will be cut with a knife if they don't agree with each other...... Several of our brothers died at their hands because of this, and they had to be dragged to be examined after death, and there was no place to bury their bones......"

He gritted his teeth and raised his head again: "Later, they really began to ask people who entered the city to strip and inspect them. I hid my waist card, cut off my tattoos, and entered the door in the footman's procession, hoping to find out about my master...... But all the people who were able to enter and leave the palace gate were ......"

I can't find it.

"Who's out there now?" Liu Wencian asked.

Hu Si wiped away his tears and said, "Qin Gongzi of Yanyu Building, Wang Liang of Deyue Building, and the white blind man of Lin Ji Grain Village...... I don't know about others. ”

It's normal not to know. Most of these scattered people don't know each other in the first place. If it weren't for that, I am afraid that there would be nothing left to this day.

Liu Wencian sat down, picked up a pen and drew a few lines on the cardboard of the bookkeeping, and handed it over: "You have to go to Yanyu Building and hand this over to Qin Shu, and let him check the sixth prince of the Yongping Marquis Mansion for me, the more detailed the better." ”

Hu Si knelt down and took it with both hands, trembling: "Is this the master's order?" Why hasn't the master communicated with us in the past two years? She...... Is it still there? ”

Liu Wencian didn't want to answer, looking at his face where every beard was trembling, he finally sighed and said, "As long as you don't disperse, she will always be there." ”

Hu fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
