A cold and tall tombstone stood quietly in the pavilion, and the words "An Guohou Xie Yaohuan" on it were clearly recognizable, and the boat was hovering on the surface of the lake, lost its way, and finally came here. Lin Jianlan looked to the side again, the so-called "people" with shadows, black tiles and white walls, was it not the place where Su Luan Xian guarded his soul?

The two armies confronted Jiangnan, but it became a pure land here, and it was not affected at all, and it was quiet in the vast smoke as if it was uninhabited, only the fresh flowers and fruits and light smoke under the tombstone in this stele pavilion still showed that someone was always taking care of this mausoleum.

Lin Jianlan didn't want to face Su Luanxian, he really had nothing to say, only to increase his sadness.

Seeing the rain outside the pavilion getting tighter and tighter, although accompanied only by a corpse of an old man with a broken face and some decay, it can also alleviate the loneliness of this heart, Lin Jianlan sat silently in the pavilion, unconsciously the rain stopped and didn't know, suddenly came back to his senses, a number of rays of sunlight shining on the lake through the clouds, extremely bright, the haze of the sky was gone, only the air with a humid and fresh taste, the lake surface was clear, the golden scales flickered, and the mood was brisk.

He came and went alone, even the two remnant swords were taken by Nian Xiaoxia, there were no tools at hand, and when he saw a bundle of sticks a few fingers thick lying obliquely on the edge of the pavilion, he got up and took one in his hand, and thought to himself: "Although it is not sharp, if the drive should be enough to bury the remains of this old boat family quickly." Looking back at the stele pavilion again, Xie Yaohuan cares for the people in his hometown from the bottom of his heart, and he won't mind that an old man who was so eager to return to his hometown to live a peaceful life and resolutely returned to the army was buried next to the stele pavilion, right?

After turning around and walking to the stele pavilion, Lin Jianlan was stunned for a moment, and then his eye sockets became hot, there were several grave bags densely packed behind the stele pavilion, and the soil color had just been erected for a short time, and there was no tombstone of each, only a wooden strip was planted in front, Lin Jianlan put the corpse on the ground, and walked over slowly, there were two lines of words written on the tombstone, which belonged to Su Luanxian, Lin Jianlan recognized it, she had been making a book for Xie Yaohuan, and transcribing it was naturally very kung fu, neat and beautiful. Lin Jianlan caressed the tombstone and said, "Pity you without a name and no surname, the drizzle on the lakeside washes the dust." ”

There was just a rain today, which coincided with the monument on the tombstone. Since there is no name and no surname, presumably the camps are different, and occasionally the remnants of the corpses float to the lakeside here, and they are buried by Su Luanxian one by one, which can be regarded as having a home. Lin Jianlan picked a vacant lot behind the tombstone, and it was here that Xie Yaohuan was buried that day, and after a long drizzle, the soil was soft and damp as today, and many things became clear in his mind with this excavation, and his subordinates concentrated on it, and after a while, he dug a big pit, stopped and looked, and couldn't help laughing, this pit is enough to bury three people.

Lin Jianlan was just about to turn back, but he heard a surprised cry behind him, Su Luanxian didn't know when he was standing on the side of the stele pavilion, holding the pavilion pillar with one hand, covering his mouth with the other, looking at the corpse on the ground, Lin Jianlan knew that the old man's face was very scary at first glance, and he didn't explain much, silently picked up the corpse and put it in the pit, with both palms, even pushing and clapping the palm shadows flying up and down, and the soil next to him fell into the tomb, and it was a new tomb in a moment.

Since the re-uprising in Taihu Lake, Su Luanxian has also buried a lot of corpses, but it is the first time that such an old man is so terrifying, at this time she has also calmed down from the shock, turned around and took three sticks of incense and inserted them in front of the grave, and prayed silently with her hands folded for a while, Lin Jianlan noticed that there was a string of Buddhist beads hanging on her thin wrist, and said in surprise: "You ......" But seeing her eyes lowered, her cherry lips trembled slightly, and the recitation between her teeth was obviously a Buddhist scripture, and she wanted to ask something but stopped talking, only looking at her silently.

After Su Luanxian finished reciting a sutra, Fang raised his eyes, and saw that Lin Jianlan's expression was very sad, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Lin Gongdon't want this, please come with me." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded, followed her into the courtyard, saw that she scooped water from the bucket next to her very quickly, raised her chin slightly, Lin Jianlan walked to the edge of the well, Su Luanxian slowly poured the water down, Lin Jianlan washed his hands, and saw a clean linen cloth handed over in front of him, just after wiping, Su Luanxian had already prepared fragrant tea on the small table in the courtyard, Lin Jianlan was a little embarrassed, and said: "Su Shu takes care of people so intimately, I didn't expect it." ”

Su Luanxian took a sip of tea first, and said with a smile in the fog: "I'm used to it, when I'm in the same place with my sister, that's it, she doesn't know how to do this, and when she is in the palace, she writes and paints mostly, otherwise she will be in a daze with a book, I would rather do all these well, so that she can say more things and teach me when she has time." ”

Lin Jianlan saw her mention Xie Yaohuan again, and her face did not show any sadness, but was mostly peaceful and happy.

Su Luanxian looked at him in a daze and said silently, "That old man just now was Lin Gong's ......."

Lin Jianlan sighed and said, "He's not my person. He roughly said about the acquaintance with this old boatman to today, and said: "In just these days, too many things have happened, even this old boatman has changed his mind several times, and finally died in the chaos of the army, he and I have had a few faces, I can't bear to see him exposed in the wilderness, heavy rain, and there is no place, so I want to be buried next to the stele pavilion of Lord Xie, I didn't expect Su Shu to have placed so much before me." ”

Su Luanxian shook his head and said, "No matter which side it is, it's all the same pitiful. I just didn't expect you to go to see Yuan Xianggong again, even if he refuses to listen to your truce, it won't make you angry to the point of leaving the rebel camp with your corpse in the rain, why did you have an argument with him again?"

This Lin Jianlan was deliberately understated, and only brought it over in one or two sentences, but he didn't expect Su Luanxian to still hear the clue, and asked, frowning and pondering for a long time, Fang raised his head and said: "Su Shu, I have something to ask you, you must answer me truthfully." ”

Su Luanxian saw him staring at him with blazing eyes, his face was sincere and solemn, and he couldn't help nodding, Lin Jianlan said, "How did you and Lord Xie think of going to investigate the matter of King Liang's private weapon?"

Su Luanxian said: "Lin Gong, I and Lord Xie came to Jiangnan, and the relationship between King Liang and King Liang is naturally to hope that the less the better, that day of the trial, regardless of the disappointment of the people, saved Wu Hong from death, the most important thing is that Lord Xie wants to hint to King Liang, just want to appease the people of Sanwu, quell the rebellion of the Taihu Rebels, and do not want to be enemies with him." Officialdom, if you really want to achieve great things, you will inevitably have treachery and grievances with powerful ministers, presumably Lin Gong can also understand. ”

Lin Jianlan nodded and said: "You must know that King Liang has many henchmen here, and the channels and storage places for privately casting weapons must be extremely hidden, and they are heavily guarded, I am afraid that even that Wu Hong may not know, how did you and Lord Xie get the evidence of the crime?"

Su Luanxian smiled bitterly: "I can't believe this matter myself. When cleaning up the old case in Hangzhou, my sister and I had just left the gate of the official mansion, and we saw a delicate girl, with trembling begonia flowers and golden steps on the sideburns, wearing brocade yarn, and the outfit was very gorgeous. I and Lord Xie disguised, no matter how much I changed, I was always quite worried about the identity of the girl's family, listening to this woman's words and deeds frivolous, I didn't dare to deal with anything more, I didn't want to talk to her more, but unexpectedly, the woman was very bold, and directly put a box in her hand into my sister's hand, and said: "The things entrusted by others are done, if the two adults are free to go to the green sleeve building, my sister will not accept your money!" ”

Lin Jianlan thought about it and couldn't help but smile, Su Luanxian saw that he was laughing strangely, and said strangely: "Does Lin Gong know? What does she do for a living, why don't you want our money?"

Lin Jianlan said: "There is a saying that Su Shu has not heard? You said that the woman was frivolous in words and deeds and dressed brightly, she must be the girl in the green sleeve building. When she saw that you were handsome, she naturally admired you very much. ”

If you don't explain, it's enough, as soon as you explain, Su Luanxian's face turned red, and she bowed her head and said nothing, Lin Jianlan was eager to verify what he thought, and he couldn't care about it, and said: "That box is the evidence of King Liang's crime." ”

Su Luanxian shook his head again and said: " Which is so easy, but it is a lead, the box is the bill of some famous merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, some have been torn apart, some are burned and there is a little left, my sister and I are also based on this little thing, called people to secretly investigate these merchants, only to see some clues, since a few years ago, these people have been a large number of goods transported to a small village near Hangzhou, and then I couldn't bear it, or went to a trip, there is really a huge casting place, was very tightly guarded by the King of Liang, we did not dare to act rashly, only privately found some local villagers, they are familiar with the past to forge weapons, secretly pretending that the family has something to call back, signed the testimony only. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "That testimony ......"

Su Luanxian said: "Even if there is a testimony, my sister and I have not made a statement, and we don't want to report to the saint from Jiangnan, King Liang is the saint's nephew, and it is inconvenient for anyone to ask about this implication of outsiders, think about it, or wait for the best time to return to Beijing and hand it over to the saint in private, how she deals with it has nothing to do with us." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Your method is also perfect, Su Shu, what I ask next, you have to listen carefully, and you have to think carefully before you can answer." ”

Su Luanxian saw that his expression was so serious, and there was an unconcealable excitement and uneasiness, and he exhaled deeply before saying: "First, the private torture and killing of the patrol press is really contempt for the royal majesty to the extreme, but anyone who is somewhat rational will not do such a stupid thing, not to mention that Lord Xie has just released Wu Hong, which can be regarded as a great favor, why does King Liang want to kill Lord Xie bent on killing him? Second, Su Shuke has thought that it is because you have a secret that King Liang does not want the emperor to know?" If it is a secret, and you and Lord Xie have not publicized it, how can the King of Liang know? Third, who entrusted the woman, King Liang's prestige, who is his enemy, who dares to steal and has the ability to steal this extremely secret account and give it to you? Fourth, it is both a confidential account and a transaction with the prince, so naturally it is burned first, and there is no reason to tear it up or burn it all out and flow outside, where does this account come from?

Su Luanxian listened to his question, which was like a storm, and was stunned for a while, frowning and silently for a while, his face slowly sank, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Did you deliberately go through so much trouble in order to kill our King Liang?" I can't figure it out......

Lin Jianlan said: "Su Shu is really smart, but it was not deliberately revealed to you by King Liang. Someone borrowed his knife. Some people have taken a fancy to Brother Yuan's reputation in Jiangnan, and even more to the force he holds in his hand to resist the extermination of the imperial court several times, but suddenly Yuan Xingjian wants to disperse this righteous army, for the sake of Lord Xie's love for the people, if you want to rekindle the hatred of the people of Jiangnan and Yuan Xingjian, what is the fastest way?"

Su Luanxian's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Who is it? Is there really such a person? Why does he want the people of Jiangnan to oppose the imperial court, why do he sacrifice me and my sister?"

Lin Jianlan sighed, even if he asked about it until now, Wei Suxin had not really appeared, but he had just hired a small and insignificant prostitute to complete a move in this game of chess for him, so he had to say: "I don't know why, this is the opportunity he has been waiting for, I ...... It's just speculation. ”

Su Luan Xian said: "Lin Gong's martial arts are so high, why don't you kill him?"

Lin Jianlan smiled bitterly: "With my current martial arts, I am not his opponent, his wisdom and scheming are far above me, and he is one step ahead of me in arranging things...... Because of him, Brother Yuan doesn't believe me anymore. Speaking of this, he was so sad that he said: "I always feel that there is such a deep affection between them, but Brother Yuan is unwilling to raise the banner of righteousness for the person who killed Master Xie for no reason...... Su Shu, I still feel that I can't be trusted by doubts, everything is just speculation, if you don't believe it, I don't blame you, but I will do my best to save this unnecessary killing. ”

When he looked up, he saw Su Luanxian's eyes looking at him fixedly, and said softly: "Why don't I believe you?" After that, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the dark clouds rose again, and the muffled thunder rolled and squeezed in the clouds, and it seemed that he couldn't rush out, sounding extremely depressing, Su Luanxian said: "Does Lin Gong want me to persuade Yuan Xianggong?" I am willing, but I am afraid that he will not believe me. ”

Lin Jianlan stood by the window sullenly, although he knew that Wei Suxin would not leave anything alive, but he still went to Hangzhou's Cui Sleeve Building with a glimmer of hope, but what he heard was an ordinary sad Qinglou and a group of sighs from a group of thin lives. The infatuated woman thought that after redeeming herself, she would never leave her beloved lover, but she didn't think that once she left the Qinglou, she was killed by her lover, and the money she had saved by selling herself for many years was also swept away, and the murderer has not been found so far.

Jiangnan has been rainy for days, and the rain beats on the eaves, and then stays on the steps through the eaves, ticking and ticking, which makes people's hearts even more irritated.

The sound of the door sounded, Lin Jianlan looked back, and saw a pale green figure outside the door, the dazzling jade pendant on the ink-colored scribe's hat, and returned to this dress, Su Luan's face under the fairy hat was fresh and delicate, but it was more thin and pale than before, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, not as lively and brisk as in the past, faintly, and said: "Lin Gong, can I go?"
