The garden resounded with the chirping of insects, the fragrance of the night filled the air, and the moonlight woven a soft net that enveloped all the scenes, including the two people in front of the other.

Zhao Huiwei was behind him, stepping on his shadow with his foot, one step at a time......

The shadow stopped, and so did she.

The shadows of the trees were mottled, and the light on his body was like a layer of brilliance, half of it was in the light, and the other side was in the dark.

"Yan Yan."

"Huh?" Zhao Huiwei looked up and saw him looking up at the bright moon.

"Do you believe in the cycle of cause and effect?"

"There must be, and those who do bad things will be punished."

She replied with certainty that the gods of heaven would bless the good people.

He sneered: "Will there really be retribution?" ”

Zhao Huiwei immediately looked at him with concern, Shen Mingnan couldn't stand her eyes, as if he was miserable.

So he sneered: "Put away your pitiful little eyes, I am not pitiful enough to need your comfort." ”

She scratched her head, listening to it just now, it was really miserable.

"Childe, you are so young, how did you get over ten years?" She couldn't help but ask.

Shen Mingnan was stunned for a moment, he rarely recalled the events of his childhood, and those that he deliberately forgot were buried in the depths of his mind.

"Want to know?"

She nodded her little head.

Shen Mingnan smiled: "Knowing my secret comes at a price." ”

？？？

At what cost?

Zhao Huiwei said that Daba, she didn't listen.

But Shen Mingnan didn't let her go: "When I was young, I lived with my mother. ”

Zhao Huiwei's eyes widened, Shen Mingnan was actually with his mother when he was a child!

"What about your mother?"

"Died eight years ago." Shen Mingnan immediately laughed: "So I went back to the Gongfu to recognize my relatives." ”

That's not right!

Why didn't they come to Shen Guo to recognize their relatives when they were alive?

As if seeing her doubts, Shen Mingnan continued: "Gongyi's family was originally Prince An's mansion, and he accompanied the first emperor to build this splendid country, and my maternal ancestor was even closer to the first emperor. ”

"Like Huainan Palace, he is the only king with a different surname in Dayan."

"Until nineteen years ago, a treason edict, the Gongyi family was beheaded, I heard that the Praetorian Guard did not give the Gongyi family a chance to react, and everyone was shot in Prince An's mansion."

"On that day, half of the sky was stained red with blood, and one hundred and eight people in the Gongyi family died under the rain of arrows."

He shook his head as he spoke: "The blood soaked into the green bricks of Prince An's mansion, and the sins that the rain couldn't wash away were imprinted on it. ”

His eyes were slightly bent: "If you go to Prince An's Mansion now, the floor tiles are still dark red." ”

Zhao Huiwei instantly felt creepy, this is also too terrible, the brother who accompanied the first emperor from birth to death was directly destroyed by the first emperor's backhand.

She swallowed: "That...... Whether the Gongyi family rebelled or not. ”

Shen Mingnan snorted, with mockery in his eyes: "Naturally, no, after the Gongyi family was destroyed, the first emperor followed closely and went to the immortals, and now His Majesty has spent three years after taking the throne to wash away the crime of rebellion of the Gongyi family." ”

Zhao Huiwei looks at him like this, he really looks like a storyteller, his emotions have no ups and downs, as if he is a spectator.

"Childe...... How do you know in such detail? ”

Yes, he himself felt detailed, because the story had melted into his blood.

He seemed to hear the hysterical female voice in his ears again: "Mingnan, you must avenge the Gongyi family and send all the people who have killed the Gongyi family to hell." ”

"I want them not to die well, and I want to crush their bones and scatter ashes, otherwise how can I be worthy of the loyalty of the Gongyi family!"

Zhao Huiwei groaned, looked at his calm face, and asked, "Childe, are you going to take revenge?" ”

After all, his grandfather's family died so tragically.

Shen Mingnan came back to his senses and chuckled: "Idiot, who should I report to?" ”

Zhao Huiwei thought about it, the executioner of the first emperor had already gone west, so he couldn't dig up the grave and whip the corpse, right?

Shen Mingnan's eyes reflected the bright moon: "Now Dayan, the world is peaceful, and the country and the people are safe." ”

"So why destroy this peace again?"

"When wars break out, people are displaced and homeless, and it's not another kind of purgatory on earth."

Seeing that the little girl was still staring at him blankly, Shen Mingnan's eyebrows raised slightly: "Zhao Yanyan, you have shared my secret." ”

Zhao Huiwei immediately covered her ears: "I didn't want to hear it!" ”

His dark eyes were cold for a moment: "Do you know the fate of betraying me?" ”

Zhao Huiwei immediately remembered the back mountain like the burial ground of his house, one pit at a time, the same as planting radishes.

So she made a solemn face, pointed three fingers at the sky and swore an oath: "Don't worry, Childe, I will never betray you, I swear!" ”

Shen Mingnan couldn't help laughing when he saw her serious face, what a deceitful little girl.

What he said, where is the secret, no one in Beijing knows that because of the suspicion of the first emperor, he "mistakenly killed" one hundred and eight members of the Gongyi family.

However, it was not bad to deceive the little girl, he was in a good mood and continued to walk towards Jiangyun Pavilion, and Zhao Huiwei followed step by step.

……

The next day, the market area.

Zhao Huiwei, who couldn't stay idle, ran out again, she was in a jewelry shop at the moment, she came to pick gems this time, she wanted to weave a string of gems to send to Shen Mingnan, and there were gems strung on the string to be more atmospheric.

Yingluo gave her advice on the side.

There is a tray in the shopkeeper, which is filled with colorful glazed stones, these special stones have been transported from Xijon country.

Zhao Huiwei reached out and picked up a glazed stone with a pale green color, which was much darker under the refraction of light.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled on his face: "The girl has good eyesight, and as soon as she takes it, she will take the treasure of the store, the blue-eyed cat stone." ”

Zhao Huiwei expressed skepticism, can this also be called the treasure of the town?

It's better for her to throw a random stone in modern times than this, and she feels that this shopkeeper is fooling her.

The smile on her face faded a lot: "This can also be regarded as the treasure of the town store?" Then there's nothing to see in your store. ”

With that, he was ready to leave with Yingluo.

The shopkeeper looked at it and looked like a big deal, he just found the most precious gems to fill the number, anyway, who would look at these ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, he met a person who knew the goods, and he hurriedly retained: "Girl stay, I took the wrong one just now, and I will go to you again to change a batch." ”

Zhao Huiwei stopped at this time, and after a while, the shopkeeper came out with a tray again.

A red gem inside instantly attracted her attention, the gem was very round, it was still a little cool in her hand, and there was this red halo under the refraction of the sun.

Zhao Huiwei immediately asked: "How to sell this gemstone?" ”

The shopkeeper compared five fingers.

Yingluo replied: "Fifty taels? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Five hundred taels." ”

"Damn, why don't you go and grab money, it's so expensive to sell a broken stone!" Yingluo scolded and scolded.

The red ruby quickly became slightly warm in Zhao Huiwei's hands, and this stone can be worn all year round to calm the mind, although the effect is minimal.

In the end, the two sides reached a consensus at three hundred and fifty taels.

Yingluo, a little bargaining expert, followed behind Zhao Huiwei with the packaged box.

As soon as Zhao Huiwei stepped out of the store, a panicked figure bumped into her......
