Xue Shao deducted the empty energy, and then Lu Kaiyan led the soldiers to the temple meditation room to search his residence, and sure enough, he found a lot of property of unknown origin, and the amount was not small, and many things were not brought from the capital... Who can believe that he has no dissenting intentions and no private collusion with others?

It is already clear how things are, and even if the emptiness is unbearable, it cannot plead for the emptiness. Xue Shao was particularly concerned about this matter, and put him in prison for spreading rumors, openly slandering officials and monks, and suspected of treason against the enemy, but he never dealt with people, and Kong Neng was locked in prison all day in fear, and looked forward to the people who conspired with him to come back and rescue him.

But seeing that the days passed, he didn't wait for any news, but was checked and "picked" clean. He knew that he didn't have the good luck of being empty, and once he was convicted, he was afraid that there was only a dead end waiting for him...

Just as he was in despair at the gloomy cell when he suddenly heard the sound of chains clashing, he suddenly looked up at the person who came, and there was a moment of astonishment in his eyes, followed by shame and resentment.

He stared gloomily at the visitor and asked, "What are you doing here?" Is it because you see that I am now depressed and want to come to see my jokes? ”

Empty silence shook his head helplessly, both incomprehensible and angry at the empty energy method, but also sympathy..."Senior brother, why do you want to... Do something like that? Putting yourself in such a situation? ”

But Kong Neng looked at his compassionate appearance, and was very disgusted in his heart, and snorted, "Put away your fake look!" Now there is no one else, what are you still doing here? Your compassionate heart is still used to deceive the ignorant. ”

When he heard him speak ill of himself like this, his face changed suddenly, and there was a dull pain in his heart, is this person in front of him still a senior brother who has been with his classmates for many years? Why could he speculate on himself with such a sinister mind? His voice trembled in disbelief, "In your eyes, I am such a person? That's how you've always seen me? ”

A look full of sarcasm was unabashedly displayed on Kongneng's swarthy face, as if that was his original "face". He scoffed, "Isn't it? After being a monk for a few days, do you really think you are otherworldly? Yes, I am taking people's money, and I have evil thoughts when I see profit, so what about you? Have you not had half an evil thought in your heart? ”

The silence didn't speak, and there were two points of panic that were seen through.

Seeing this, Kong Neng seemed to be even more proud, emotional, as if he was anxious to prove something, he suddenly got up, rushed to the door, and shouted to Kong Lonely: "Aren't you still in a heartbeat, do you really have no desires?" You don't think anyone else knows! Anyone is qualified to judge me, but you. You, like me, are people who are ashamed of Buddhism! ”

Empty silence seems to be drunk by someone, and he doesn't even have the power to parry, because he knows that what Empty Energy said is true, and he has indeed moved the idea that he shouldn't move, and he dares to covet the person above the dust... If he hadn't had such a dark mind, wouldn't it have damaged her reputation?

He didn't dare to think about it any further.

Kongneng's years of jealousy turned into resentment at this moment, "Speaking of which, I am just unlucky enough to be inferior to you, and you can only have the situation you have today because of the help of nobles many times, so that everyone has forgotten that this kind of place is where your dignified and empty mage has also stayed!" What is the difference between you and me? ”

After a while, the jailer's voice reminded him outside, "Mage, the time is almost up." ”

Kong Lin glanced at Kong Neng, forced himself to endure all kinds of chaotic and complicated thoughts, and asked for a while, "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”

I don't know if Kong Neng really has such a good intention, or if he pretends, just like last time, he tricked himself out with Xue Shao's trick! Thinking of this, Kong Neng was even more angry, staring at the person in front of him, and even had a little more rare "backbone", disdainful of his words.

Sono suddenly wanted to take revenge on the person in front of him, moved his lips, and swallowed the words from his mouth again. The best way to take revenge on a person is not to let the truth come out, but to make him think, keep him in the dark, and live completely in the shadows... It's best to go with regrets.

Thinking of this, Kong Neng actually showed a weird smile, he would never want to know who caused him to be locked in a dark cage that time...

The room was silent.

The silence couldn't, just sighed lightly and left gloomily. Originally, I wanted to come to see Kongneng, hoping that he could confess what had happened, and he could change his mind, and he would ask for a light hair again, but Kongneng had no intention of repenting, so it seems... It is not necessary.

Empty energy didn't leave a message to empty silence, and there will never be this opportunity.

A few days later, Sky Energy died mysteriously in prison, and he didn't see it. Some people say that he was ashamed of the world and committed suicide in fear of sin, some people say that he died by accident, and some people speculate that the master behind it is the one behind who wants to kill them all...

What the truth is, I'm afraid that Kong Neng himself doesn't know. And when that dark thought was imprinted in his mind, it was like an evil curse on him.

……

The Da Zhang clan in Qiuzi heard that Xue Shao had arrested people, and he personally refuted the rumors for the Lu family, which was very angry. I wanted to take this opportunity to ruin the reputation of the Lu family and the empty silence, lose the hearts of the people, and then make Xue Shao and the Lu family suspicious, he refused to protect the Lu family, and it would be easier for her to get rid of people. But I didn't expect the other party to be unmoved... Seeing that the person had already entered the prison, she simply ordered the person to take care of the "aftermath" thoroughly.

But this matter did not cause much of a stir in either the Guizi Prefecture or Xizhou, not because no one cared, but because there were more important things that took their attention.

Ashina He received the reward of Xuanfu, but he reversed himself, and even waved his troops south, invading the border of the Western Regions, and several military towns in Anxi were all in strict formation, not daring to relax. Lu Kaiyan and the officials in Xizhou were not doing much, and this Xuanfu envoy was so frightened that he fled back to Xizhou overnight.

In fact, it is not surprising that Su Qiwu was frightened along the way, this Xuanfu was originally just a gimmick of the imperial court, in the name of Xuanfu, in fact, he secretly dispatched troops to the Western Regions, counting the time, and in more than a month, the army will arrive. Su Qiwu knows more or less about the inside story, not only can't let the other party be innocent, but also has to worry about his own head at all times, which is indeed not easy.

The flames of war are about to ignite, and naturally people are panicking.

……

I don't know if this is the first time Xue Shao has told Qingrong, "If you have something, look for Xue Chang, and go out less if you have nothing to do." ”

Qingrong knew that he was also worried, he was holding a string all day long, and he was busy with Lu Kaiyan, and he was so busy every time. Now at this time, she can't do anything else but take care of herself, take care of her chores, and don't let him be distracted.

Compared with Xizhou, where everyone is afraid and afraid, the people in Qiuzi City seem to be "ready to move" and are very impetuous.

Ju Yunwei glanced at the sky a little irritably, it was a little gloomy, and the wind was quiet, which was a sign of rain...

The subordinates beside him asked, "Shizi, it doesn't look good this day, but you want to leave today?" ”

Ju Yunwei nodded, "Just today." ”

It's only a matter of a moment, and it doesn't matter if the rain will fall, so there's really no need to delay it.

The subordinates nodded in response, and quickly ordered the subordinates to prepare the carriage and set off for Xizhou.

Although Lu Kaiyan and Xue Shao both knew that many things in Xizhou had nothing to do with the Ju family recently, there was no definite evidence, so they still maintained a harmonious atmosphere with Ju Yunwei on the surface. However, compared to Lu Kaiyan's euphemism, Xue Shao was still much more indifferent.

Ju Yunwei had a few thoughts in his heart, others didn't know, but this time he still pretended to be a "gentleman" who didn't ask about the world, as if he only cared about those men and women.

"It's all at this time, is it possible that the son of the world is still thinking about marrying a flat wife? Coming here on purpose? Lu Kaiyan said to Ju Yunwei in a joking tone.

Ju Yunwei smiled even more happily, "Changshi really likes to laugh, I've only heard that women are well-informed, but I didn't expect Changshi to be even better." ”

Lu Kaiyan was a little surprised, and asked with a smile, "Oh? I don't know if the son of the world is coming here, what advice do you have? ”

Ju Yunwei raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Chang Shixiu wants to torture me, I don't dare to give advice, Ju is used to being lazy, where do I dare to take the word advice." It's just that my father heard that the Turks were in turmoil, and he couldn't rest assured about Xizhou City, so he sent me to this trip. It's hard to say anything else, if there is something, Changshi and the general can just send Ju. ”

Lu Kaiyan laughed without smiling when he heard this, and he was straight and polite.

Having said that, Xue Shao and Lu Kaiyan would not really hand over anything to him. Ju Yunwei is also a person with vision, and immediately after the greetings, he went back to his residence, no matter how far he went, he didn't hinder the eyes of the two of them, just felt comfortable and happy.

Ju Yunwei knew that no matter how they guessed, they still had to do the work on the face, so Xu Niang saw this merry man with a smile like spring again.

Xu Niang saw someone in the market, and her eyelids twitched. But he couldn't stand with him on the street all the time, so he had to invite people into the private room of the store.

It's a spice shop, but a lot of things in the store are stored, and it doesn't look like it's going to serve customers at all, but more like a shop that is about to close.

As soon as he said this, Xu Niang easily endured a roll of his eyes, and he said twice, so he had to explain: "It's not peaceful outside, and business is not good." ”

This spice is no more indispensable than those things of wood and rice. This year's grain harvest in Xizhou is average, and now everyone is not all stocking up on grain, and those who have a little spare money are not spent here. Xu Niang has seen a few shops in the past few days, and she has discussed with An Saburo to close a few shops for a while, and today I came to count the items, but I didn't expect to meet the person in front of me.

There is no tea in the shop now, so Xu Niang had to summon someone to buy two cups of buttermilk next to it to simply entertain this "distinguished guest".

At the mention of the war, the banter on Ju Yunwei's face also disappeared a few points, and after looking at Xu Niang, I don't know whether to depreciate or praise, "You are a woman, you know a lot." ”

Xu Niang smiled and didn't answer, just thinking about when this person was going to leave?

After a moment of silence, Ju Yunwei suddenly asked, "How long have you been in Xizhou?" ”

Xu Niang wondered in her heart and replied, "It's been about two years." ”

"It's been so long." His tone was casual, "Are you alone in this foreign land, don't you miss your homeland?" ”

Xu Niang has always been very sensitive to such questions, how could she answer him seriously, she thought for a while and said, "Xizhou is also very good, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, it is the same everywhere." ”

Ju Yunwei raised her eyes and glanced at him meaningfully, half reminding, half joking: "Xizhou, in the past, it was not owned by Daye. ”
