After squatting in front of Gao Yun's Mansion for a few days, I finally waited for the opportunity to approach Gao Yun alone.

One day and night, Gao Yun came back from outside drunk alone, but he fell down, stumbled a few times, and almost wanted to fall.

I stepped forward, held him steady, and whispered, "Master Gao, be careful." ”

Gao Yun heard the familiar voice, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at me.

When he saw my face clearly, he was taken aback, as if most of the wine had woken up, and said vaguely: "Dong, Dongfang, you are so bold, you actually found here." ”

I remained silent, pressed his hand and said, "Master Gao, this is not the place to speak. Why don't you let the little one take you to sober up?"

With that, I dragged Gao Yun into a remote alley.

It wasn't until there was no one around that I let go of Gao Yun.

Gao Yun finally came to his senses, he looked around carefully, and then grabbed me, and said in a hurry: "Brother Dongfang, are you crazy? Haven't you already gone away and fly high? What are you doing when you come back now?"

I smiled wryly: "How easy is it to go away and fly high?" has no identity, is desperate, and keeping a life is just a way to survive. ”

Gao Yun said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "Since you know that this is the end, you shouldn't have broken the law and done such an irrational thing in the first place." ”

I said eagerly: "Tang Ling, I didn't kill that guy. ”

Gao Yun was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "It's not that you killed someone, so what are you running? ”

I let out a sigh and said, "At first, I thought that I stabbed Tang Ling to death with a sword, but I decided to die in a hurry. But later I learned that Tang Ling had been poisoned before I drew my sword. I came back this time to prove my innocence. ”

Gao Yun stared at me and muttered, "But your wife He Jing and your maidservant Xiaolian both confirmed that you poisoned Tang Ling, and then stabbed the sword to vent your anger. ”

My heart was cold, and I murmured, "Sure enough, He Jing framed me." ”

Gao Yun shook his head and looked embarrassed: "You are afraid of the crime and absconded in the front, and the testimony of your sister-in-law and Xiaolian is behind, which is already unfavorable to you." A few days ago, Xiaolian died tragically at home, and your name was still on the murder weapon. Now that you have killed people and killed your mouth, it has become an empirical proof, and it is difficult to have the power to return to heaven. ”

I grabbed Gao Yun's hand and said tremblingly: "Brother Gao, Brother Gao, I didn't poison it, and I didn't kill Xiaolian's cheap maid." I was completely framed. You have to trust me. You and I have been good brothers for many years, you must help me and help me clear my name. ”

Gao Yun sighed and said, "Brother Dongfang, this matter has to be considered in the long run. Why don't I arrange a safe place for you to settle down in. You and I will plan again?"

I was overjoyed, patted Gao Yun's shoulder, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Gao, you can still rely on it." I will always remember my brother's kindness. ”

Gao Yun's kindness is indeed enough for me to remember for a lifetime.

He quickly arranged a very safe place for me.

It's so safe that I can't fly.

As soon as I stepped into the hut that Gao Yun had arranged, which was said to be extremely safe, I was immediately tied up.

And it was in the old days that the colleagues who called me brothers and sisters personally tied me up.

Not only did they tie me up, but they also gaged my mouth tightly.

I can't even say a word of emotion about the cold state of the world and the warmth of human feelings.

Then I was thrown into a cold, dark dungeon.

Strangely, I didn't grieve.

Because I'm busy figuring it out.

The beloved wife betrayed, and the friends turned against him.

Why is all this?

Just when I was worried, someone finally came to solve my doubts.

Gao Yun walked into the gloomy dungeon and stopped in front of my cell door.

He looked calm, as if the things that had just betrayed his friends for glory had nothing to do with him.

He stared at me with interest through the cell door.

Just as I glared at him meaningfully through the cell door.

The two of us stared at each other for a long time.

I finally couldn't help but joke: "Senior brother, you have made a great contribution by arresting me with your own hands." Every day you get promoted and make a fortune, don't forget your little brother. ”

Gao Yun sneered: "Get promoted and make a fortune? You underestimate me too much." ”

I also showed no weakness: "Then brother Gao, why don't you let me look high?"

Gao Yun snorted lightly: "Seeing you ruined with my own eyes really makes me overjoyed." ”

I groaned and said, "Could it be that you did all these three indiscriminate things that framed me?"

"Hahaha. Gao Yun was happy: "There are so many people who want to kill you, when will it be my turn to do it?"

I was a little unconvinced: "If you didn't frame me, why did you plan to arrest me?"

Gao Yun smiled, but stared at me quietly for a long time before he said slowly: "Sure enough, in your eyes, other people's pain is not worth mentioning. ”

I was puzzled: "Other people's pain? Gao Yun, what kind of mystery are you doing?"

Gao Yun's face turned solemn and said, "Do you remember ten years ago, that Yue Feng who was about to take over as the purple-clothed catcher?"

"Yue Feng?" I muttered, my name a little vague, but I would never forget it. This person has had an important impact on my career. But my name is a secretive and I never mention it lightly.

Gao Yun Zhengse said: "At that time, Yue Feng had been working in Shuntian Mansion for more than ten years. He acted decisively and thoughtfully, and the cases he handled were invincible and unsolved. Evil is in his hands, and all are hidden. In Bianliang City, he is a god-like being. ”

Looking at Gao Yun's intoxicated expression, I snorted softly, "God, but what I heard is that Yue Feng takes everything in black and white, and is greedy and perverts the law." It is said that under the floor of the fire room in his house, there was gold covered with dirty money, which was all dirty money from the underworld to honor him. ”

My words didn't seem to have an impact on Gao Yun. He was still immersed in his eagerness: "Yue Feng and his wife have been in cold clothes for many years, and they have no long things. His old mother, who had been suffering from rheumatism for many years, had been unable to seek medical attention for a long time, and finally her hands and feet were deformed, not to mention walking, and she could not even stand. Yue Feng's only youngest daughter, at a young age, had to take care of the housework, and when she was eight years old, she drowned in the river while washing with her mother. If it is said that others are corrupt and seek windfalls, I still believe it. But if Yue Feng amassed wealth, it was really ridiculous. ”

I disagreed: "Everything has a appearance. Cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods disguised as humble gentlemen abound. Back then, the brothers of Shuntian Mansion personally searched for dirty money and evidence of his collusion with the underworld in Yue Feng's mansion, how could it be fake?"

Gao Yun nodded and said, "Not bad." Back then, it was indeed the brothers of Shuntianfu who arrested Yue Feng. Gao Yun stared at me with a somewhat cold gaze: "But, how did Shuntianfu know that Yue Feng colluded with the underworld and accepted stolen goods?"

I froze, looking a little unnatural: "How do I know this?"

"You don't know?" Gao Yun came up to me and said a little jokingly: "Yue Feng colluded with the underworld to hide the stolen goods, and even the specific location of the stolen goods is clear to Shuntianfu. The reason for this is that someone told you back then. ”

I was shocked for no reason, and beads of sweat were already oozing from my head.

Gao Yun ignored my uneasiness, and still said slowly: "And this whistleblower is, you." ”

Somehow, I was a little hesitant: "You, you and I are both law enforcers, and we naturally know that impartial law enforcement is the foundation of our life." Since I know about corruption, no matter whether I am close or not, I can only kill my relatives in righteousness. ”

"What a righteous annihilation. Gao Yun sneered: "You haven't forgotten that Yue Feng once treated you and me as relatives." ”

Gao Yun paused, seemed to recall the events of the year, and said with some sadness: "At that time, you and I were Xinding who had just entered Shuntian Mansion, and we were unaccompanied, full of trepidation. But Brother Yue Feng treats us like brothers and fathers. not only carefully taught us how to solve the case, but also took care of us, so that you and I would not have to worry about food and clothing. What's more, if it weren't for Brother Yue's protection, you and I might have died I don't know how many times. It can be said that my life was also given by Brother Yue. ”

"I naturally thank Yue Feng for his kindness. I was a little displeased, and said coldly: "But he was willing to fall and colluded with Gu Yong, a big profiteer in Bianliang." That Gu Yong, but the person who was shocked back then, ran rampant and dominated the market, bullied the good, and he also raised government soldiers, openly arguing with Shuntianfu. Shuntianfu had long regarded this Gu Yong as a thorn in his side, and wanted to get rid of him quickly. ”

"Then how did you know that Brother Yue colluded with Gu Yong?" Gao Yun stood up straight and looked at me condescendingly, his tone still unhurried.

"I have lived in Yue Feng's house for two years, so I naturally know about Yue Feng's affairs. I argued.

"Yes, at that time, you were in Bianliang City, and you had no relatives. Brother Yue placed you in his own home and treated you as his own brother. Gao Yun's expression was uncertain: "You were also quite deferential to Brother Yue at that time. Not only did you work diligently before and after the saddle, but you also helped repair the fire room in Brother Yue's house two months before Brother Yue's accident. ”

"What do you mean by that?" I was shocked, "Do you suspect that I framed Yue Feng?"

"I don't know who laid the gold under the floor of Yue Feng's fire room. Gao Yun shook his head and said, "But what is obvious is that after Yue Feng's incident, you immediately went from a small deacon in a small cloth to a few levels in a row, replacing the position of purple-clothed fast catcher who originally belonged to Brother Yue. ”

"I was promoted to purple clothes because of my own ability. I snorted coldly: "It turns out that you are jealous that I can rise in a short period of time, so you will climb to me like this." ”

"Climb the dirt?" Gao Yun seemed to have heard something funny, and actually smiled: "Since you have the ability, why did you do nothing and not advance an inch in the ten years after you were promoted to purple clothes? Even Gu Yong, who was rumored to have colluded with Brother Yue back then, miraculously escaped and disappeared under the nose of you, a purple-clothed catcher, after Brother Yue was dismissed. ”

My face turned pale, and I said astringently: "The matter of official career is already elusive. ”

"It's not elusive. Gao Yun still smiled: "But in the past ten years, you have used these methods of planting and slandering, and you can no longer help you go further and reach a high position." ”

"Nonsense. I was furious, stood up, approached Gao Yun, glared at him, and said, "When did I plant it?

Not to be outdone, Gao Yun said: "You are friendly and amiable on the surface, but in fact you are cold and gloomy. Back then, you framed Yue Feng because you coveted the position of purple clothes. And Yue Feng's existence will be a huge obstacle for you. So you were scheming, colluding with Gu Yong, framing Brother Yue, and after the matter was completed, you let Gu Yong retreat. Over the years, the brothers of Shuntianfu, as long as they are stable and outstanding and appreciated, you will try your best to catch the mistakes and omissions, and tell the truth in front of Lord Yin of the Mansion, and slander them in every way. In the past ten years, there has been no one who has surpassed your rank. Brother Fuzhong, who hasn't suffered your loss? Everyone calls you a smiling tiger, and they really wronged you?"

I was drenched in cold sweat when I heard this, but I forced myself to calm down: "You say that I colluded with Gu Yong, but is there any evidence?"

Gao Yun said coldly: "I went to Shuntian Mansion at the same time as you, although it is not as fast as your promotion to the purple cloth, but it is also step-by-step, the purple clothes have been in charge for several years, and now they have finally survived to the time when they are promoted to the gray clothes to take charge." Coincidentally, at this juncture, I was reported to have hurt people and caused trouble in my hometown because of the purchase of land. There is a complete range of human and material evidence, and there is no way to deny it. Lord Yin was furious, not only punished me with a cane, but also deprived me of my qualification to be promoted to gray clothes. So I took leave and returned home, only to learn that someone had taken my name to buy land in the countryside, but had beaten and maimed the traitor by means of cunning and robbery. After several twists and turns, I finally found out this impostor. Under interrogation, it was found that this impostor was actually Gu Yong's subordinate back then. This impostor, although he is bold, is a soft bone. He couldn't stand my punches, so he truthfully confessed that he framed Yue Feng with you back then, and now he is entrusted by you to ruin my reputation in the countryside. ”

I regretted it in my heart, and secretly scolded Gu Yong's subordinates for not doing enough. So I said coldly, "Since you already know, it is useless for me to say more." How are you going? ”

"Conditions?" Gao Yun smiled: "Do you know what happened to Yue Feng after he was framed by you back then? He was dismissed and exiled, and died of illness in the southern barbarian land. Brother Yue's property was confiscated, and his wife and old mother were both hanged in the ancestral house. Your treachery framed Zhongliang, and the result was that Brother Yue's family was ruined. If I give you conditions today, what kind of face will I have to face Brother Yue's spirit in the sky?"

Speaking of this, Gao Yun's eyes were already red, like a beast roaring.

But I was sweating and drenched. I even felt like my whole body was collapsed, my legs went limp, and I sat down on the floor.

It seems that it is really unrealistic to let Gao Yun let me go.

Now that I have been framed, I have received retribution.

It's just that I'm in prison, but I don't know who the person who framed me is, which makes me regret it in my heart.

I touched the beads of sweat on my forehead, and said weakly: "Senior brother, I really deserve it." But I still have one thing in my mind that I can't rest assured. If you fulfill my heart's desire, I am willing to bow to the Dharma. ”

Gao Yun's expression moved, and he asked, "What do you want?"

I sighed lightly: "I don't know who did the death of Tang Ling and the cheap maid Xiaolian. My wife, He Jing, is probably the initiator of this game. I just want to confront her face to face, why the hell did she want to frame me?"
