Xu Jie died.

For the people of Kyoto, some people feel that they have lost another good official.

Others don't care.

After all, if one official is gone, there are thousands of officials coming.

They only care about how many taels of silver they have every day.

Xue Mu did not go back to the prison, but observed the sad people in the audience.

For an afternoon, he questioned the people one by one.

The answers were:

"Lord Xu is a good official!"

"Yes, I remember that he was a big official before, and then he was demoted because he involved some changes and violated the interests of some nobles."

"He often distributes some soup porridge to the victims outside the city."

Although Xue Mu didn't know what Xu Jie's real person was.

But it can do what the people want.

It's not a good official.

So when he was about to get off duty, he returned to the prison and called Hu Daming to stop.

"Brother Hu, can you please come with me at night."

"Okay, where to go? Miaoyinfang is still Guiyue Tower. ”

"You're right to follow me."

Hu Daming was very excited.

He has already started to practice the technique of grasping with both hands.

When I thought of the girl in Guiyuelou, Ji'er was even more upright.

In the evening, Xue Mu left the prison with Hu Daming.

Along the way, Hu Daming looked forward to it.

Gradually, however, he realizes that something is not quite right.

Because whether it is Miaoyinfang or Guiyuelou, it is not this road.

Are there any other chicken yards?

With doubts, Hu Daming asked, "Brother Mu, where are we going?" ”

"Mass graves."

"I'm a!"

Hu Daming's eyes widened: "Brother Mu, don't you want to talk about it, aren't we going to listen to the music?" ”

"It's a fence, but it's a mass grave." Xue Mu explained.

He looked at Hu Daming and said, "Brother Hu, I'm sorry, let you accompany me on this trip, I want to bury Lord Xu's body and set up a monument." ”

Hu Daming suddenly understood.

Prisoners like these who were beheaded on the street were usually claimed and buried by their family members.

If they are not claimed, they will be sent to mass graves in the evening.

Xue Mu knew that Xu Jie's only daughter didn't know about it yet, so he thought about doing it by the way.

After Hu Daming learned about this, he was not afraid, but said: "Lord Xu is a good official, let's go and collect his body to do a good deed." ”

"How do you know he's a good officer?" Xue Mu saw that Hu Daming seemed to know some inside information.

Hu Daming said: "In this Kyoto, who doesn't know that Lord Xu is a good official, he will go to help those victims every month, often set up porridge stalls outside the house, and often make some policies to benefit the people. ”

"Tobe Shangshu?" Xue Mu was a little surprised: "The head of the household department is demoted to the head of the household department, this is not a matter of one level or two levels. ”

"Yes, it's not because I offended Lord Qin." Hu Daming seemed to feel that he was talking too much, so he smiled: "But I also listen to other people's nonsense, and I don't count." ”

When they arrived at the mass grave, they found several people digging a pit.

Two of them also sighed: "We can only do this for Lord Xu." ”

"Yes, I hope that Lord Xu can still think about the people in his next life, and don't let his heart chill again."

Xue Mu saw through his sight that they were filling in the pit, and there was a monument on it.

Seeing this, he turned his head and said, "Brother Hu, let's go." ”

"Huh?" Hu Daming was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay...... Good. ”

When they returned to the city, they were silent.

"Brother Hu, where did we go tonight?"

"Naturally, it's a hook to listen to the music and catch a woman, let's go to Miaoyin Fang, Brother Mu, you say yes?"

"Well, then I'll go back first."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

The two said goodbye to each other and left.

When Xue Mu went back, he organized the wording.

How should he tell Xu Ruyan euphemistically that her father has been executed.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."

Xue Mu walked home.

Before he could get back to the door, he heard a humming sound in the next room.

Xue Mu walked over.

I only heard a cold "hum" sound.

When Xue Mu heard this, he wanted to avoid it.

But who knew that after Leng Mei, who was carrying a bucket, saw him, she hurriedly said, "Xiao Mu, can you come and help my sister?" ”

Only then did Xue Mu know that Leng Mei was carrying water just now.

So he walked over and asked, "Sister Leng, what's wrong?" ”

"I want to take a hot shower, but it's a little cold tonight, and I'm worried that after a while, the water will be cold." Leng Mei said helplessly: "Why don't you help me carry the bucket?" ”

Xue Mu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After all, Leng Mei is also a good neighbor who has sent him a few plates of tofu.

Naturally, we should also treat each other with courtesy.

So he picked up a bucket of hot water in his left hand and walked into the house.

"Be careful, there are steps here." Leng Mei was worried that Xue Mu couldn't see it, and specially reminded her.

"Okay."

After mentioning it two or three times, Xue Mu said, "Sister Leng, this water should be enough." ”

"Okay." Leng Mei stretched out her thin hand and gently tipped it on the hot water in the tub.

Ripples rippled on the steaming water.

She saw Xue Mu standing at the door, and the appearance of waiting honestly was also cute.

Thinking that he wouldn't be able to see it anyway, she said, "Xiao Mu, I'm worried that this water will be cold, or you can bring another bucket of hot water while I'm washing." ”

"When you're washing?" Xue Mu was a little surprised.

"yes." Leng Mei pretended to tease: "I'm hiding in the water, it's okay~"

Xue Mu wanted to say something, but finally agreed.

[She probably thought I couldn't see.] 】

[No, I couldn't see it in the first place. 】

Xue Mu then proposed: "Then I'll wait at the door, if Sister Leng is cold, you can tell me." ”

"Okay~" Leng Mei's eyes narrowed slightly, watching him close the door.

Xue Mu stood outside the door and heard the sound of splashing water in the inner room.

Occasionally, there is a gurgling stream of water.

Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow.

This kind of voice is for Xue Mu, who has always been calm.

Ahem, defenseless.

It didn't take long for a cold voice to come from the back room.

"Komaki, come here with some water~"

"Okay."

Xue Mu poured a bucket of water from the pot and then walked in.

It was foggy and steaming.

Unlike when I came in before, there were two more hemispheres in the tub.

Leng Mei saw him carrying a bucket, so she reminded: "Pour water here~"

Xue Mu immediately poured the hot water into the bath bucket.

As the water level gradually rose, so did the hemisphere.

"Komaki, there's a lot of water, it's okay."

"Okay."

Xue Mu put down the bucket and said to Leng Mei: "Sister Leng, the hot water is almost over, I'll leave first." ”

"Okay, you go back and rest early, I'll send you tofu tomorrow~"

"Thank you, Sister Leng."

Before leaving, Xue Mu closed the door specially.

He didn't think he was a lewdness, after all, he didn't mean to see it.

Not to mention that he also suffers from eye diseases.

It's just that in order to facilitate the pouring of water, I opened my eyes to insight.

He can't be blamed for that.

Just thinking about it, Xue Mu returned home.

Pushing the door open, he was about to open his mouth when he heard a sobbing sound in the corner.
