18 Chapter 18
At that time, Zhiyin had also seen him. Looking at each other, Xie Mingting had already restrained his emotions and walked over with a calm face: "Why did you come back so late?" โ
During the day, he dropped his sac in the room, and it was Yun Yuan who picked it up and sent someone to send it out. At that time, Zhiyin was being called by her mother-in-law, she didn't know about this, and naturally she didn't know what kind of emotional ups and downs he had experienced, and she was still thinking in her heart about whether to make a look of anger with him because of the day's events.
She quickly came up with an answer, and turned her head in a feigned anger: "Does it have anything to do with you, since you refuse to accompany me, why don't you care when I go back." โ
There is a bit of fun in these words, and it seems that they don't know about the sac, and they are angry about the early morning.
Xie Mingting was relieved.
Knowing that he had thought too much about it before, he pursed his lips and said in a calm voice: "Have you picked it, let's go back if you have picked it." โ
He did not ride again, but rode home with her. Zhiyin kept leaning sideways and didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the car was low. It wasn't until Xie Mingting sent her to the room and was about to leave that she suddenly said: "Do you know?" If you don't go back with me, they all think that you are really dying, and tell me to find a way to reconcile and leave, and then remarry. โ
"Lang Jun." Her voice was a little choked, and her eyes were dlistening in the candlelight, "Do you really want me to remarry?" โ
Xie Mingting turned around, and as soon as his eyes met, he seemed to be burned by the tears in her eyes. He turned his face away evasively: "How. โ
"But you're so cold to me." "You never smile at me, you never say a gentle word to me," she sobbed. Obviously, it wasn't like this at the beginning, it was Lang Jun who chased me out and asked my name at the beginning, and I didn't mind that it was Lang Jun who proposed to me, I was very happy, and I also wanted to raise my eyebrows with Lang Jun. Butโbut since I got married, why is this all of a sudden......"
She didn't say it explicitly, but Xie Mingting understood. It's accusing him of being too cold.
"Am I wrong? Am I bad? Is Yin Yin bad? Pimp? โ
She cried so much that her face wet with tears reluctantly raised her head and questioned him, and her voice was devastating.
It was like a sharp blade stabbing into the wound that had already festered, Xie Mingting's heart ached, and he was speechless.
"You're good." He said after a while. She was the most gentle and strong woman he had ever seen, and she didn't say a word even after being wronged.
That's nature, and she's certainly fine. Zhiyin thought. There were still grievances and tears on his face: "Then do you like me or not?" โ
Xie Mingting was silent.
He is now playing Yun Zhi, and there is naturally only one answer: "Naturally I like it." โ
The girl burst into tears and laughed: "It's almost ......"
She smiled with tears in her eyes and took a few steps forward to hug him. Xie Mingting's eyes dimmed slightly, took out the handkerchief, and silently wiped the tears on her face little by little.
Zhiyin hugged him and calmed down for a while, and then said shyly: "Don't leave tonight." โ
Fang Cai's sadness is just pretending, although she has a good impression of her husband, where is it to the point where her love is as deep as the sea? She had thought that he really didn't like her and divorced, but now, she wanted to manage this marriage well. After all, she is an orphan girl, if there are endless troubles waiting for her, she can't be sold by her uncle and aunt again!
And to gain a foothold here, it is not enough to have a husband who respects each other. She could see that although Lang Jun was colder on his face, he had her in his heart. As long as you hold him, whether it is the Gu family or her mother-in-law, he will deal with it for her.
And she's not lying...... He just treated her very coldly. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have bothered him.
Xie Mingting stayed after all.
When he came out of the bath, Zhiyin had already bathed, and was squatting on the couch, reaching out to untie the tie behind his back.
The two soft willow-like arms were pinned behind him, as white as jade porcelain in the candlelight.
His jade-white face was slightly red, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid it. Zhiyin stopped him: "Lang Jun." โ
"My rope seems to be tied in a dead knot, and I can't untie it. Can you help me......"
Her outer shirt had been removed, leaving only a smoky pink coat, revealing her rounded shoulders and a large area of jade white on the back of her shoulders. A pair of delicate butterfly bones are honey-colored by the candlelight, trembling like butterflies flapping their wings under the lamp, which is beautiful.
Xie Mingting didn't dare to look around, and walked over in silence, hesitating to touch the two tightly intertwined ribbons.
As she had said, it was indeed very tightly wound, and a thin red rope had been tied into a dead knot, and by the time it was completely untied, a thin layer of sweat had spread from its fingertips.
The tie around his neck had long been loosened, and when he picked the last rope in the knot, two thin straps slipped from his fingertips, and the girl's fragrance scattered with the clothes in her pocket, and she suddenly turned around, like a spring breeze suddenly entering a deep valley, blowing away a mountain mist.
Xie Mingting was stunned, she had already leaned over and kissed him on the lips. Between the confusion and confusion, Xie Mingting almost did not hesitate, grabbed her and kissed her, anti-guest-oriented, aggression like fire.
The girl in his arms was flushed with pink sweat, and soon fell into his arms in shame.
"Lang Jun, Lang Jun ......" her voice sobbed slightly, tears sparkled in the corners of her eyes, and her cherry lips gasped slightly. It's like an invitation.
The condensation is like jade, and the tentacles are like silk. Just when the heart was ape, Chen Li's voice suddenly exploded outside the door like thunder: "Lang Jun, there is a letter in the palace." โ
Xie Mingting woke up like a dream!
The confusion dissipated, and the eyes were facing each other, and they were all embarrassed. Xie Mingting's face was slightly pale, he raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, and walked out.
Zhi Yin Se cowered in the futon, the blush on his face had not yet dissipated, but he was angry.
What an elm pimple!
The matter of the couch, she took the initiative to do this, and he can still leave! She didn't pay attention to him anymore, tomorrow night was the fourth attack of the drug, and he would take it himself!
By the door, Chen Li had already handed the letter to Xie Mingting, and kept scratching his head and nose, his expression was a little unnatural.
Xie Mingting's face was expressionless, and he opened the letter and looked at it carefully, but his expression was frozen for a moment.
It is an epistle of Song Guogong.
He is now in charge of the Shangshutai, so the letter is sent through his hand. There is only one thing said in the letter - the matter of Jiangnan has been completed, and Yun Zhi will come back soon.
*
Gangnam Province, Jiankang.
The green mountains stretch like a painting, the river spreads horizontally like practice, the rising red sun is still half floating on the river surface splashed by the silver waves, a few white gulls fly over, and the sound of chirp goes straight to the blue sky.
Inside a large ship docked on the riverside, the dark cabin has become a prison for interrogation. A man was beaten to his death with an iron chain on the bulkhead.
Opposite him, sat a young man in a brocade robe embroidered with unicorn patterns, absentmindedly listening to the torture of his subordinates to extract confessions, while plucking out his ears.
"Brother Shen's bones are so hard."
The young man had a handsome face, his eyebrows were flying, and he was beautiful and graceful, which was incompatible with this dark and cramped prison. He said: "It's all like this and you still don't want to say it, no wonder my brother praised you in the past, saying that among the classmates of the school, only Brother Shen Shi is the seedling of great things." โ
"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Even the soldiers' pensions dare to be greedy, and it is in vain for a wolf-hearted person to expect you to tell the truth. โ
He got up slowly and called to the guard beside him, "Go, chop off his right hand for me." Whatever you keep for, just keep a finger to draw a charge. โ
The guard responded and took a light guillotine, pressed the man's hand and pressed it on the guillotine, and the man looked at him in horror: "Xie Er, you...... How dare you lynch! โ
Even if he is in prison, the pain of flesh and skin is inevitable, and he can bear it. But will he still be alive if he cuts his hand?
"So what? I'm just a man who has a personal vendetta. The young man smiled and said, "I almost forgot." My brother was a classmate of his brother when he was young, but he was taken care of by his brother. โ
He made it clear that he was rummaging through old accounts, and the man was shocked, and the young man leisurely took out an account book from his arms: "In February, Bingzi received 52,000 stone of military rations, which is equivalent to more than 70,000 taels of silver; In March, Jiayin received 45,000 stone of military rations, which is equivalent to more than 60,000 taels of silver......"
The man's eyes widened suddenly!
The young man stopped suddenly: "What." โ
He smiled like a warm spring breeze: "Brother Shi still wants me to finish reading?" Then your hand is gone. โ
"Wait!" The man finally panicked and shouted in a panic, "I said! I say! โ
This time he acted quickly, grabbing the pen and spitting it out like a bean. The young man pressed his hand with satisfaction and drew it: "Yes, those who know the times are Junjie, and the world brother is really a smart person." โ
The man's face turned pale: "Since you got the account book, why didn't you say it earlier?" โ
If the evidence has long been in the hands of the other party, then what is the point of one's own negative resistance during this time.
The young man smiled: "Because, compared to Brother Shi's knowledge of current affairs, I want to appreciate Brother Shi's backbone." โ
The tone changed again: "Cut off his left hand!" I wasted so much time before and didn't want to say it! โ
"You...... You! The man was so angry that he was speechless, and the next moment a scream rang out, and a hand rolled down from the side of the guillotine, and blood flowed all over the ground.
When the man fell into a coma, the young man had already walked out: "Brother Shi, I will let you go without saying anything." โ
"That's it!"
The young man walked out of the cabin and raised the dossier in his hand with high spirits.
The coldness on his face disappeared, and his excellent face was carved from jade, and at this moment it was as clear and warm as the spring sun, and it was Xie Yunji, the second son of Chen Liuhou's Mansion who was ordered to come here to investigate the case.
The unicorn is an ancient beast, but it is a benevolent beast. It is sharp against the enemy, but in the presence of those who are close and kind, it will put away its sharp claws. The two guards had already walked out, one dressed him, and the other handed him the steamed buns, flatteringly complimenting: "Lang Jun is becoming more and more like the Hou Ye back then." โ
"That's it."
Xie Yun's stomach was empty, and he took a few bites of the steamed bun in his mouth regardless of his image: "Eliminate the evil, deal with this kind of corrupt officials and ink officials, and use my brother to judge the prisoner's set of papers?" โ
However, speaking of his brother, this method of first breaking the opponent's psychological defense line and then taking out key evidence was taught to him by his brother.
"It's just ......," the guard asked worriedly, "Lang Jun has tortured him, will he cause trouble in the future?" โ
"Whatever." Xie Yunzhi didn't care, "I only know that the person who bullied my brother fell into my hands, and I will never be merciful!" โ
That was many years ago.
He and his brother were originally twins, but they were separated from their parents when they were still in infancy due to the approval of the Taoist priest, and he was left behind, but his brother was sent to Jiankang's uncle's house for foster care, and he stayed for seven years.
Those seven years were not good for my brother. Uncle is out, uncle is ruthless, neglect to take care of his brother, and he has a withdrawn personality, so he is often bullied by other children when he is studying in the Xie clan.
He will always remember seeing him when he came with his father to pick up his brother when he was seven years old. It was the end of school, and across the alley, he saw his skinny brother surrounded in the middle, laughing and sneering, calling him a wild child that no one wanted, tearing up his schoolwork, throwing stones at him, and ordering him to get through their pants โกโก......
At that time, my brother was just a child, and he was surrounded but fearless, standing proudly and unguarded, looking at those people indifferently and detachedly, until his fists rained down.
He had to be pampered by his parents, and he developed a temperament that was not afraid of heaven and earth, and at that time, he rushed over to fight with them despite his father's obstruction, and used the kung fu taught him by his father to beat those people all over before it was finished.
But the brother's reaction was very cold. He refused the hand he stretched out to help him up, and only gave him a cold look: "Thank you." Then, he left alone with the bookcase.
Later, he learned that at that time, his father had not yet established a son, and his brother was fostered and had not seen his parents for many years, so he was considered to be the one who was abandoned and was treated coldly.
As for him, he stayed with his parents, and together with his brother, he enjoyed the double love of his parents.
It was also from then on that he secretly swore in his heart that he would never let people bully his brother again in this life, because that was what he owed him......
"That's right." Thinking of his eldest brother, Xie Yunji blurted out, "I haven't paid attention to my family these days, is there any news from my family?" Is the eldest brother married? โ
"I haven't heard of it."
The two guards stared at each other with wide eyes. Xie Yunji thought about it, he was "dead", how could his mother have the heart to marry his eldest brother Zhang Luo.
From childhood to adulthood, for so many years, there are so many women who like him, and I have never seen him care about anyone, and I don't think I will look at the mung beans at this time.
But if it's not a marriage, isn't it...... Xie Yunji frowned in confusion.
What others don't know is that he and his eldest brother are twins, and sometimes they will have telepathy, such as joy, such as sorrow, such as sudden slight heart palpitations.
Brother has always been a very peaceful person, easily unmoved by external objects, in the past ten years he has not felt the eldest brother's heartbeat, but this month, it has reached many times, that is nervous, is happy, so I guessed whether the eldest brother is married, or has a favorite girl.
If the result is not marriage, isn't it the same as yourself?
Okay. Xie Yunjian pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth were desperately suppressed. Xindao, when he goes back, he will definitely laugh and laugh at his eldest brother, and tell him to scold himself for a day of pretension and seriousness, "the blood of young people is undecided", but he himself is not the same as him?
When the time comes, he will stab the matter and see how he pretends to be! How to teach yourself!
The corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of uncontrollable smiles, and the guards thought of him as the bride, and said: "I heard that the county lord has married the young lady back, and the young lady was born beautifully, and Lang Jun is really blessed." โ
"That's it." Xie Yunji's face was not without pride, "Yin Yin is my own fancy for herself, like a fairy, and her temperament is good, she must make the eldest brother envious!" โ
"It's good to have a good temperament, the little one also filmed the young lady to annoy you to fake your death, and I won't let you in when I go back to the house, how else do you do the groom."
"Go, go, go." Knowing that they could say anything after hearing too much meat talk in the army, Xie Yunji slapped him angrily, "Keep your mouth clean, you can also make the young lady's jokes?" โ
"I won't dare to wait any longer." The two of them stopped smiling for a moment and respectfully admitted their mistakes. Xie Yunzhi was relieved at this time.
He came to Jiangnan this time to thoroughly investigate the Jiangnan military salary and corruption case for the empress, because the Jiangdong Shi clan was deeply rooted, shielded each other, and had internal responses, the imperial court sent the imperial history several times, but all ended without a problem.
Xie Yunji is no exception. When he first came to investigate the case, it was clear that he had received the news in advance, but when he arrived at the man's house, the dirty silver was transferred cleanly, and not even a single tattered clothes were left. had no choice but to pass on the book to the saint and make the appearance of fake death, but in fact, the golden cicada came out of its shell and lured the snake out of the hole, and now, it is the time to start closing the net.
Things are going well, and in a few days, he will be able to catch them all and return to Beijing. At that time, Yin Yin learned that he had come back from the dead, and she didn't know how happy she was!
With this merit, it is not difficult for him to ask for a reward, and he can ask His Majesty to be an official in Beijing and stay at home with her.
