Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Breakthrough
Finally comforted Ranying, and when I returned to the academy, I met a few students from Leshengtang at the fork in the road, and when I saw them, I was surprised: "Ranying, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
The girl beside her widened her eyes, hurriedly pulled her back a few steps, and whispered a warning to her: "Although the case is broken, it is still unclear whether Ran Ying is a detailed worker, so let's not get too close to her." ”
The student at the head said: "Everyone has been released, naturally not!" ”
"The murderer was caught, and the Criminal Department couldn't let her go, but... But ......" she thought for a long time and couldn't think of a reason, and finally gave up, making an excuse and saying, "It's groundless!" She's suspicious! ”
Ran Ying was furious and said: "Someone planted the blame on me!" ”
"Who is it?" They asked curiously.
"Yes......" Ran Ying was about to say, Su Yan hurriedly covered her mouth and explained to a few students in Yuesheng Hall, "How can there be so many fine works in the world, who have ever seen a fine work that doesn't know martial arts and can be framed in prison casually?" And the criminal department has released people, which must have confirmed that Ran Ying is innocent, and this 'innocence' of course includes her identity! ”
"But ......"
"But what?" When Jin Qi heard the news, he angrily interrupted their random speculation, "You long-tongued women, what are you doing with these idle things? Mind yourselves! ”
"I don't like to hear what you say!" It was Suo Qingqiu who shouted, pushed aside the crowd, and confronted her, "She is also thinking about the academy, what are you doing with your toes!" ”
Su Yan found that the students of Leshengtang were surrounding, so he immediately protected Ran Ying behind him and warned Suo Qingqiu: "There is no doubt that the Criminal Department has decided the case, your classmates are for the good of the Academy, but these speculations are just talking here, don't talk nonsense everywhere, the people in the Criminal Department will listen to it, it will be another trouble!" Seeing that everyone was frightened, Su Yan was victorious, and immediately changed his kind face, and continued to say to Suo Qingqiu, "Actually, Ranying was saved thanks to your husband's advice, if it weren't for her help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that the evidence would be hidden in the pond until now." ”
"What?" Suo Qingqiu was shocked. How could Mr. Jin meddle in such trouble, she has never been nosy, how could she ...... Suo Qingqiu couldn't figure it out, so she asked her again, "Why did Mr. Jin help Ranying, they don't have a relationship." ”
"Yes, they don't have a relationship, it's just a relationship between a student and a husband, but everyone is in the same boat, naturally we want to help each other, this is what we should do, instead of falling into the well and watching the excitement, in fact, in the end, more or less will be implicated, who can succeed?"
A chill flashed between Suo Qingqiu's eyebrows, she took a step back and said coldly to her: "What a clever mouth, I only ask one sentence, but you can talk at length, come to think of it, Mr. Jin should be deceived by you in this way!" Mr. Su, we'll have a meeting later. With that, he turned around and grabbed the hands of the students in the Yuesheng Hall, and returned to the office.
Su Yan raised his eyebrows proudly, and hugged his fists at the few people who were far away: "Thank you for the compliment!" ”
Jin Qi leaned over with a puzzled face and asked, "Mr. Su, you went to the Punishment Department and met some demons and monsters, and she scolded you!" ”
Su Yan smiled and said, "I know! ”
Jin Qi was even more strange: "Then why do you thank her?!" ”
"Because I'm happy!"
"It's crazy!" Jin Qi shook his head in despair, dragging Ran Ying to run for his life.
The night was shrouded, and the Shan Courtyard was immersed in a dark blue color, and Nangong Jinqi pulled the eldest grandson Yue to sneak in at night, trotting all the way into the Lonely Luan Pavilion. After Su Yan stretched out his head and glanced at the opposite side of the Cloud Pavilion, he quickly closed the door, lit the stove, lit the sandalwood, and only opened half of the south window for ventilation.
At night, the lights are still bright in the Guluan Pavilion. Jin Qi and Changsun Yue were wrapped in quilts together, only revealing a pair of pointed heads, and after listening to Su Yan's account of the case of Broken Cloud Xuan's hidden corpse, the two of them still looked puzzled. The eldest grandson Yue first asked: "Why did Concubine Xiao send a sweat towel to Ji Yu, even if the concubine gave a gift to the ministers, she had to go through Your Majesty, is it ...... Are they relatives among themselves? ”
Su Yan, who was sitting in the corner with a pillow in his arms, couldn't help but sigh: "It's really an innocent child who has not yet entered the world, I will teach you well as a teacher, do men and women love to understand?" ”
Eldest Sun Yue nodded.
"Have you ever heard of a love token between a man and a woman?"
"Hmm... Oh! Mr. is saying that Concubine Xiao had an affair with Ji Yu?! ”
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, this kid finally figured it out.
Jin Qi shook his head and sighed: "The wind is going down, it's really the wind is going down!" The concubine actually had an affair with the courtier, but this Ji Yu was really a child, and he actually transferred the concubine's gift to He Shuang. ”
"It's too stingy, dignified left waiter, he doesn't even have a treasure that he can get his hands on, why should he seduce women!" The eldest grandson Yue showed his head a little more, and said to Su Yan, "Sir, don't learn from Heshuang, it's not worth it!" There are a lot of treasures in the eldest grandson's family, and I will ask my father to say something another day, and bring you a few things to open your eyes, and you will have many long nights and dreams! ”
Su Yan was a little puzzled, and leaned closer and asked, "What is a long night and a lot of dreams?" ”
"He Shuang will only be deceived if you don't have knowledge, if I let you open your eyes and see, you won't be deceived, and you will lose your life!" As he spoke, he felt scared, and quickly retracted his head. Su Yan was amused and moved by her thoughts, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch her face, "Your husband, I have seen a lot of good things, of course it's not the kind of stupid woman who can be cheated away casually!" However, Heshuang is by no means on the road of no return because Ji Yu gave a gift, but ......"
"But what?!"
"However, if you have a baby, it's okay if I don't marry for the rest of my life, haha!"
Eldest Sun Yue and Jin Qi retracted their gazes in disappointment, fell on each other's faces, and nodded heartily. Jin Qi first opened his mouth to probe: "Sir, I heard that Ran Ying was coerced by Changsun Xi, and you are the closest to her, is this matter true or false?" ”
Su Yan's smile disappeared instantly, she looked at the two of them in shock, and asked angrily, "Who said that?" ”
Jin Qi was frightened by her momentum, and stumbled and said, "Yes...... Someone is spreading it, and who it is...... I can't hold it accountable. ”
The eldest grandson Yue nodded and agreed: "Ran Ying has been wronged but can't appeal, we are her classmates and should stand up for her!" ”
"You want to take this opportunity to attack Changsun Xi, right?" Su Yan's eyes stared at Changsun Yue like a pair of hands, invisibly picking away her hypocrisy. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
Jin Qi was tired of her cowardice, puffed up his chest and said, "Even so, the eldest grandson is more reasonable!" How can her eldest grandson Xi have the slightest appearance of being an heir, hypocritical, cold-blooded, and uneducated, she is simply a great shame for the eldest grandson's family! Changsun Yue secretly pulled her hand and asked her to stop talking, but Jin Qi just said energetically, how could she stop, and continued, "Although Changsun Yue is a little stupid and timid, at least she can sit upright, she is the most qualified person to inherit!" Moreover, the eldest grandson family has no one to inherit except her. ”
Su Yan secretly laughed: "You said that you wanted to listen to Ranying's case, but now it seems that the case is fake, take the opportunity to inquire about the handle of Changsun Xi and help Sun Yue to replace him, is it true?" ”
The two people in the quilt looked at Su Yan in a daze, and finally under her majesty, they had to nod their heads in acquiescence.
Jin Qi said cautiously: "The eldest grandson Yue can't raise her head under the power of her cousin all the year round, although they are all granddaughters of the eldest grandson's family, the treatment is very different, you have also seen the face of the eldest grandson, if you are not moved, the future situation may be very unfavorable to her." ”
Of course, Jin Qi's words are correct, but the treacherous girl has never fallen into the trap, so where can this start?
Su Yan was in distress, this matter has to be considered in the long run!
The snow fell again in Rongguo, the academy was already covered in frost, the lake was frozen, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard that were once in full bloom were now also depressed.
Zuo Qing locked himself in the house for many days, during which he either tasted tea or found a book from the shelf, sat cross-legged in front of the window, sometimes reading, sometimes looking at the scenery outside the window.
Yansheng held the stove and sighed, turned around and opened the door to go out, and when the door opened again, it was the voice of the West Building, and he also held a wooden brocade box in his arms. As he entered the door, a cold wind poured in, blowing the books on the dining table with a crackling sound. Zuo Qing came back to his senses at this time, raised his eyes and glanced at the door, and said casually: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and you are still running around to suffer, is this a long life or my tea here is delicious, how many cups do you want to rub?" ”
Xilou smiled helplessly and said, "You really don't hurt people for a day, and you feel uncomfortable." In this case, the dim sum made by can only be sent back untouched! He said he was leaving.
"Slow!" Zuo Qing put down the book, noticed the brocade box, and confirmed again, "Is it really sent by?" ”
Xilou hurriedly ran back to open the brocade box, poured two cups of hot tea, and said to him while drinking tea: "have been coming to Ruoshui for a few days, and they learned to make some cakes, so I specially asked them to send them." ”
Zuo Qing looked at the tea-green square pastry in his palm for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How many pieces have you stolen?" ”
Xilou was displeased: "I haven't even opened the cloth wrap, how can you conclude that I stole it?" ”
"When did the be so stingy and only give these three pieces for food?"
Xilou sat beside him and complained: "The road is far away, the weather is cold, and you still don't allow me to eat two cushions to pad my stomach?" ”
Zuo Qing smiled and shook his head. However, two pieces of pastry, how could he still pursue it, and immediately handed him the stove to apologize.
"Since you're here, warm up and go back."
Xilou didn't go to pick up the stove, and suddenly said to him seriously: "Yansheng said that you have been in a bad mood for the past few days, what is the reason?" ”
Zuo Qing then understood why he suddenly came over in a hurry, it turned out that Yansheng had misunderstood, so he explained to him: "I'm just thinking about things, Yansheng is too nervous." ”
"Is it Murphy?"
"Yes, the head of the six departments today, the pillar of the imperial court! I lost my right hand one after another, and I had to be careful and not rush it. ”
"Ji Yu fell, and even those little minions were settled, and the province was finally cleared. What's next for you? ”
"It's almost the end of the year, Mingjin has withdrawn his troops."
"You're going to stand still?" Xilou was a little anxious, "But there are still many people in the three provinces and six departments who have not been eliminated, and as the days go by, it will do us all kinds of harm but no benefit!" That Zhongshu Ling Liang Luan, and Tan Cen, these two are the most tricky, and the eldest grandson has no dispute, don't you do everything possible to find the weapon spectrum just to win him over? With all these things in place, can you still sit still? If Murphy is really vigilant, we should get rid of him as soon as possible before he can make a move! ”
"Definitely." Zuo Qing vetoed his idea, "Murphy must be watching now, if he really does it, won't he fall into his trap?" The upper and lower volumes of the weapon spectrum have been found, but the time to go to see the eldest grandson has not yet come. As for Liang Luan, he is in a high position and is extremely cautious, and he has no idea where to start for a while. I have asked to use the relationship of Yunlai Pavilion to collect it, and there will be no news for a while, and Liang Luan has to let it go first. ”
"So you can eradicate Changsun Xun first, just check Murphy's minerals from him, there must be a mystery!"
"Eldest Sun Xun has no children and no daughters, he is just the adopted son of the eldest grandson's family, as for the handle, ......" Zuo Qing sighed in disappointment, "The eldest grandson who has been honest for ten years and has never been corrupt or bribed, I can't do anything to him." ”
Xilou seized the opportunity and said to him: "I knew that you would have no clue, I came here to remind you that if you want to find a breakthrough, Changsun Xi is the key!" ”
Zuo Qing's expression lit up, and then he had a plan in his heart.
