love·sorrow

[33] Eve

Ziqi mentioned the matter of the big wedding as promised, just like that, the Xie and Wei families happily set the date of the big wedding, just half a month later, just after the beginning of spring, a rare auspicious day.

Zi Qi was able to get down and walk around, and his body recovered very well, but he was still as usual, ignoring the marriage and leaving the full authority to Mrs. Xie Zhang Luo.

Wei Jinghuan really didn't step into Xie's mansion after that night.I don't know if she is afraid, but it is a very good thing for Ziqi, so as not to be upset by seeing her.

The wedding day was approaching, and soon it was the eve of the big wedding.

Ziqi stayed quietly until midnight, when the mansion was resting, he quietly got up, sneaked out of Xie's mansion, and floated into Wei's house.

He knew where Jing Huan's boudoir was before, so he went straight there.When she was outside, she was sure that she was the only one in the room before entering through the window.

Jing Huan was just about to go to bed and was falling asleep, when she heard a movement, she instinctively screamed out of fright.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zi Qi covered her mouth and signaled her to keep quiet.

Jing Huan saw clearly that it was him, but she was startled, her face turned pale and then red, she was so surprised that she didn't know how to speak.

According to the rules, newlyweds are not allowed to meet each other on the eve of their wedding, what is Ziqi doing quietly here at this time?It's definitely not warm and loving, there will be no more kindness between them, then... Didn't they come to kill themselves?Thinking of this level, Jing Huan couldn't help but shudder.

Ever since the conversation with Ziqi that night, she has been living in anxiety and fear. She always feels that this marriage is not so solid, and she can't even sleep well.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Ziqi let go of his hand, still smiling gently, and said in a low voice: "It's me! I'm sorry, I frightened you!! What's wrong with you, you're sweating. ...Are you...are...afraid of me?"

Jing Huan was at a loss for words for a while, she didn't know how to answer these words, she shook her head again and again, anyway, she was very nervous now.

Seeing that she was so nervous, Ziqi chuckled, and sat down generously on the edge of the bed, approached her face, raised his fingers to gently brush up a strand of her black hair, sniffed it, and said softly: "Tsk tsk, To be honest, you are indeed good-looking, if you are not so vicious!! Hmph! So... you are so... afraid of me? Heh,... that's good, the days are still long, you'd better stay so afraid of me... By the way, I am here today to discuss something with you!"

Jing Huan was scolded sweetly by him, feeling ashamed and hated at the same time, and felt that her back was frozen, she wanted to turn sideways to avoid him, but Ziqi's hand had already surrounded her, making it difficult to break free.She struggled and said slowly: "What... what's the matter? Do you have to say it now? Tomorrow is the right day, you shouldn't come, let's... talk about it tomorrow, okay?"

Ziqi's voice became more gentle, and he clearly uttered a word: "No!".

He reached into his arms with his right hand, took out a big wooden sign while talking, and handed it to her.

Jing Huan instinctively took it, looked down, but it was like seeing a ghost, and immediately threw it to the ground, extremely frightened, restless, and somewhat angrily roared: "... What do you mean by this?" ? You... Xie, Zi, Qi!!! What, what, what do you want to do?!"

Ziqi picked up the sign on the ground again, sat back on the edge of her bed, and handed the sign to her. He was not angry, and his eyes were extremely gentle. He said to comfort her, "Don't be angry! How could you do this to it? ? You know that this is Qin Tian's memorial tablet, so you can't treat him well? Tomorrow is the wedding of you and me. I think about it. Since you love Qin Tian so much, why don't you hold his memorial tablet tomorrow? I'm ready to pay my respects!"

Jing Huan really couldn't believe it, her eyes widened, she gasped and said, "You...! What are you talking about?! How is this possible!"

Ziqi left her body a little far away, but stared at her very seriously, and continued to say with a calm and terrifying smile: "Why not? Qin Tian is you, my true love, I know you like him, your wish I just want to marry him! Now that he is gone, the yin and yang are separated, which is the most sad thing. So, I will fulfill you, give you a title, and let you marry him!... Besides... For me, like me Marriage, how could he be absent? He likes the excitement the most. If you don’t take him with you, he will be angry. You are not afraid that he will come back from hell to trouble you when he is angry?! So..., you hold Getting married with his tablet is a good thing for you and me, don't you think?"

Jing Huan felt that she was frightened to death by Zi Qi's extremely insidious and perverted appearance, and even felt that there was a gust of wind behind her, and a chill!

Before she could think carefully and refute something, Ziqi's smile suddenly changed, and the smile turned into a sinister smile, and he said with a bit of evil and coldness: "Don't rush to refuse! Don't forget, how did Qin Tian Damn it!? You'd better do what I say!... If you think it's inappropriate for Mingyan to hold the memorial tablet, then you should hug him close to you and hide him well. You can never let others find out, and don't Tell anyone, otherwise... when I get angry, I will tell everyone about what you have done, tell everyone how you like Qin Tian, ​​how you designed to climb into my bed, how you sow dissension, and killed the Qin family Yes! If this gets to the government, what do you think will happen...? I... I'm afraid you'll never even think about it...! You should know... I... always talk about It did it...! Didn't it? You have to think carefully!"

Jing Huan only felt that the blood in her whole body was frozen, like falling into an ice and snow hell. She didn't expect that Zi Qi would say such a threatening word to her. She felt that the cold wind made her shiver, and she couldn't say "no". , choked in the throat.

After thinking about it for a long time, she looked at the memorial tablet, and her heart was full of tastes. All the memories came to her heart, her heart was trembling, her hands were trembling, and she finally hugged Qin Tian's tablet in her arms and stuck it to her heart. Eyes are red.

After a long time, she nodded silently, and said to Ziqi: "... I know... I will do it!..."

Ziqi seemed very satisfied with her performance, giggled for a while, and laughed a little loudly, although it would not attract the servants of the mansion, but it made Jing Huan even more nervous. The evil ghost's laughter made me feel fear from the bottom of my heart.

After Ziqi finished laughing, he still looked at her very gently and tenderly for a while, stroked her face lightly for a while, and whispered in her ear: "...OK, rest early, I'll wait for you... !” After saying that, he dodged and jumped out of the window.

As soon as Zi Qi left, Jing Huan felt a sense of exhaustion and powerlessness, and she fell back on the bed, hugging Qin Tian's tablet, trembling!Since the last time they met, she had a deeper understanding of Ziqi's fear and danger!Suddenly there is a feeling that she doesn't want to marry. If she gets married like this, can Ziqi really let herself survive? !Is the status and information about her marriage that she has worked so hard to win really useful?Why did she see the darkness of her married life!

[34] big wedding

On the day of the wedding, Ziqi changed into a wedding dress, which against the snow-white complexion was still conspicuous, gorgeous and eye-catching, cool and beautiful.

Above the wedding hall, the newlyweds stand shoulder to shoulder, and praise loudly, three salutes are completed.Ziqi held the colored ball silk belt to lead Jing Huan into the bridal chamber, the two sat on the edge of the bed together, Zi Qi lifted the "hood" and let the left and right back down, wanting to be alone with Jing Huan.

Originally, being newly married was a very happy thing, but at this time Jing Huan didn't feel this way at all, especially when facing Zi Qi alone, she was just cautious and nervous.

Ziqi didn't smile at this time, but kept a straight face, ignoring Jing Huan's panic, and stretched straight towards her body, and when his hand touched her chest, he touched something hard, and then smiled, Said: "Okay! Very good! Now there is no one else, give me the tablet. You performed well today, very good! I am very satisfied!" "..."

Jing Huan shrank back instinctively when he stretched out, and after confirming that he would not kill herself, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was sure that she was holding the tablet, and did not speak, ignoring his sight and shame, knowing what to do Yiyan untied the wedding clothes outside, took off the tablet tightly attached to his chest, and handed it to Ziqi.

Seeing that he got the tablet, Jing Huan frowned, and seemed to be in a good mood, so she felt a little relieved.Waiting for him to speak, but saw that Ziqi put the memorial tablet in his sleeve, ignored her, and went out, telling the outsiders to take good care of him, so he went to the study alone.

Ziqi put the memorial tablet back in the hidden secret pavilion behind the study, burned incense and prayed, and whispered in his heart: "Qin Tian, ​​today's ceremony is completed, from now on, I will treat this woman well, and I will definitely let her Pay the due price! Rest in peace!"

Afterwards, Ziqi dealt with the matters of the wedding until the evening.Because he was drunk a lot by relatives and friends who came to congratulate him, and he had no restraint, he was already drunk after a few rounds, and was finally helped back to the room by a few servants.

But when he got to the bridal chamber, Ziqi didn't even enter the door, pushed everyone away, turned around and staggered to the study, fell asleep on the couch, and a few servants cleaned up for him before closing the door and leaving.Seeing that he was so drunk, everyone couldn't help but sigh that he wasted the whole night of spring festival!

It wasn't until the next morning that Ziqi was woken up by a rapid knock on the door.The boy outside the door said something anxiously, but Ziqi was still not clear-headed and didn't understand. It took him a long time to finally understand what happened.

It turned out that the bride, Jing Huan, had disappeared!Can't help but surprise Ziqi!

[35] Corpse

It turned out that when they got up early in the morning, Master Xie and his wife were waiting to drink daughter-in-law tea, but there was no movement for a long time. When the dowry maid knocked on the door of the new house, no one answered.After entering, I found that there was no one in the room, and even the bed and quilt were neatly made, as if no one had touched it overnight.The dowry maid was in a hurry and searched everywhere, but there was no one there.

Ziqi was startled after hearing this, his first thought was, isn't that woman afraid of running away?Regardless of the hangover and splitting headache, he quickly ordered people to look for it.

While looking for people in the mansion, suddenly, Zhang Butou of the yamen led a group of people.After meeting with the host, Catcher Zhang asked cautiously with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's really helpless to come here earlier to ask for trouble. Dare to ask... Young Master, Young Madam... is she... in the residence?"

Ziqi was startled, but he calmly replied: "My wife is not in the mansion, we are looking around here! I don't know Zhang Butou, why do you ask this question?"

Zhang Butou understood clearly, but still glanced around, leaned into Ziqi's ear and said in a low voice: "Just now someone came to report that... a female body in a wedding dress was found on the west street of the city... there was... , someone...knows...says, that is...the new wife of your mansion, come here...to ask, to see...?!"

"...What???" Ziqi was startled, his voice raised a little, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

Zhang Butou nodded to him with certainty, indicating that it was true.Ziqi's face turned dark, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry to arrest you, take me to have a look!"

So Zhang Butou took Ziqi straight to the west of the city.I saw that the scene had already been surrounded by people from the government.

Ziqi went in and took a look, and couldn't help but gasp!

That scene... was so bloody and cruel that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.I saw a wedding gown wrapped around Jing Huan's corpse, but it was completely fragmented and integrated with the flesh of the corpse. It was a bloody mess, and only her face was still intact. The most terrifying thing was that her eyes did not close. , with a distorted face, as if he had been greatly frightened when he died, it was terrifying!

Ziqi quickly retracted his gaze, stopped looking, and sighed, "...It is indeed...my wife,...what's going on?...Who did it? So cruel?"

Zhang Butou couldn't answer, he just shook his head, and called for someone to carry the body back, and let Wu Zuo examine it carefully.

While waiting for Wu Zuo's autopsy to end, Zi Qi thought about Jing Huan's death.Definitely not asking for money, such a miserable death must have great hatred!But...the one who wanted her to die, who else could be besides himself?Even if you do it yourself, it won't be so cruel!Who the hell can get a big living person out of Xie's house without anyone noticing?

He felt faintly in his heart that her death was not simple, and he was a little uneasy!After waiting for two hours in the government office, Wu Zuo was done.According to Wu Zuo, there were traces of being raped by several people before his death. The fatal injury was fatal with a knife, and the murderer's methods were extremely cruel.

Ziqi didn't say much, he just asked to stay alone with the corpse for a while.Others said that he was distraught and wanted to say goodbye to his beloved wife, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he vacated the morgue and left.

Ziqi lifted the burial cloth, stared at her face with closed eyes for a long time, his eyes became colder and his expression gradually became resentful, and he said in a low voice to the corpse: "You are the one After marrying for a day, you will die. How can you say that you will die?...Huh! I haven't started using the methods I thought of, and I haven't abused you well. Why did you die? Even if you die, you should die Die in my hands, if you die in my hands, others will never see the cause of your death, and you won't die so badly!... Anyway, this kind of death is really worthy of you, a bitch! I want to keep you as a whole body, but now it seems that it is better to forget it and turn into ashes, what do you think?"

Ziqi said some words bitterly, and finally burst out laughing. It took him a while to regain his composure, and he stopped looking at her disgusting face, covered her white cloth again, and walked out of the morgue. , went to Zhang Butou.

Catcher Zhang saw that his expression was not good, he only said that it was caused by his excessive sadness, and comforted him.Ziqi said sincerely: "Catcher Zhang, my wife's tragic death on the street must have been done by a wicked person. Please Zhang catcher to find out the truth and give my wife a justice!"

Zhang Butou returned the courtesy and hurriedly said: "This is a matter of duty, so naturally I will go all out!"

Ziqi raised his hand again and said: "Because my wife's death is miserable, I really can't let outsiders see it, and I can't bear to let my parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law see the dead body, no matter how sad, so I want to ask Zhang Butou to take care of the dead body for me temporarily. When the day comes, I will cremate the body and put it in a coffin for burial.... After all, my parents and parents-in-law are old, so...! Oh, what a family misfortune!"

Zhang Butou was stunned at first, but he also felt that Ziqi was considerate, so he agreed to not let the rest of Xie Wei's family come to see the corpse.

Ziqi thanked Zhang Butou again and again, and then he left the government office.The servant from the Xie family who had been waiting in front of the government office came up to meet him, and Zi Qi confessed a few words, asking him to report back to Xie's and Wei's houses to prepare for the funeral.

[36] Tears

On the way home, Zi Qi couldn't figure out who would kill Jing Huan.According to his analysis, there are three situations: the first is that people who simply hate Jing Huan want her to die.The second type is the enemy of the Xie family, who will take her under the knife.The third type is that people from the Qin family investigate the truth for revenge.

When thinking of this last possibility, he couldn't help but sweat a little.If it was a member of the Qin family, how would they know the truth?Could it be...?He suddenly thought of the man in black he met that night, could it be him?If so, what will the Qin family do next?

He didn't dare to think about it... He stopped, turned around and went outside the city, and quietly came to Qin Tian's grave.

Looking at Qin Tian's tombstone, he thought, if the man in black is really from the Qin family, and he knows the unique skills of the Xie family, then...there is only one explanation...!That is……!But is it really as he thought?This strong idea is almost coming out!

Ziqi forcibly suppressed the thoughts that kept jumping in his heart. If this was the case, the man in black must still be following him...then...! ! !He needs verification!

He took off the silver ring hanging around his neck and caressed it for a long time, his heart was surging for a while.For the past three years, I have kept this silver ring and unicorn jade pendant close to my body and never left it.

He took off the soft sword he was wearing, dug a gap in the grave, wrapped the silver ring in cloth, buried it in, raised his true energy, and said to himself: "Qin Tian, ​​that woman died today. Now, you can rest in peace!...Qin Tian, ​​I'm sorry, I can't sleep in the same hole as you, this ring was given to you by me, it is me, let it accompany you to sleep here!"

Ziqi's eyes were moist, he endured it for a long time, and finally turned around and walked back.This is a bet, no matter what the outcome is, he must know it!

It's best...it's exactly as he expected...!

Jing Huan's funeral was held in an extremely low-key manner, after all, it's really disgraceful to have a funeral just after the wedding.

Although the Wei family had some complaints about Zi Qi not letting them see Jing Huan for the last time.But Zi Qi said very domineeringly: "Since you marry into the Xie family, you are a member of the Xie family. Naturally, I have the final say on what to do!"What's more, her death was extremely disgraceful, it would be good to have her buried in the Xie family's ancestral grave, what else do you want? '

What he said made the Wei family dumbfounded. They naturally also heard the details of their daughter being raped by several people before her death, so they dare not bring it up again.

After the funeral was over, Ziqi couldn't wait to go quietly to Qin Tian's grave.

He took a special look at the place where the silver ring was buried, and there were indeed traces of being turned over.He was very nervous, and hurriedly opened the soil again, looked around, but there was no silver ring.

Ziqi froze in place on the spot and didn't move any more. He was so excited that he was almost convinced that Qin Tian was not dead!

For a moment, my heart was broken, and I couldn't bear the excitement in my heart anymore, and my emotions lost control. I shouted the name of 'Qin Tian' around the woods, and yelled for him to come out!

I don't know how long I shouted, how long I shouted, my voice became hoarse, and there was still no sound in the quiet woods, and the figure he was looking forward to appeared!

His heart, which had been alive, sank again little by little, as if he was drowning in the sea and was on the verge of death. He could no longer see any light and hope of living. Darkness and coldness became his only feelings!

why?

why?

why?

Is the judgment wrong?

Maybe Qin Tian really didn't die, because he knew that the ring was not priceless, and no one would care about that thing except him!But...why, why did he never show up to see himself in the past 3 years, even though he was not dead? ?What else happened to keep him from showing up?

Or maybe Qin Tian is already dead, everything is because he thought too much, from hope to disappointment, he can no longer bear it, he is left alone in the world, alone, holding those memories that cannot be shaken off, forever Wandering in the past!He didn't want to do this, as long as... as long as Qin Tian lived, even if he had to exchange his own life, he was willing!

No matter what the situation was, Ziqi couldn't accept it. The pain of being torn apart made him want to shout and cry!But the sound was gone, and I could only let the tears flow like rain, until there was no more tears left!

Only then did he suddenly realize that it had been three years!

It turned out that this was the first time he shed tears for Qin Tian!

[37] Reproduce

Since Jing Huan's burial, Zi Qi, who couldn't solve the answer, was deeply troubled, bored at home, often in a daze alone, and refused to say much.Everyone said that he was stimulated and caused by excessive sadness. He was very worried and always comforted him.

The days passed day by day, but it was still as calm as usual, without any abnormalities.

At this time, the weather is getting warmer and a hundred flowers are blooming, even the old peach tree in the courtyard that has not bloomed for many years is also full of flowers.

As soon as Ziqi opened the window, he saw the tree full of peach blossoms. He couldn't help but think that in the past, whenever the flowers bloomed, Qin Tian would come to climb the tree, jump up and down, and have fun, but now... others?He can't even confirm whether he is dead or alive, so why talk about the truth! ?

Ziqi felt uncomfortable thinking about it, climbed up the tree and sat on the branch, quietly looking into the distance until midnight.

It was late at night and it was cold, Ziqi finally thought of going back to his room, jumped off the tree, and was about to go back to his room.

Just after walking for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the house separated by a wall, although they were small but dense, I immediately became alert, listening to the sound, there were at least a hundred people outside.

Ziqi felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly jumped on the roof to have a look, he was really surprised!

The outside of the mansion has long been surrounded by officers and soldiers, surrounded by layers, surrounded by archers.

Zi Qi was originally dressed in white, which stood out in the dark night. As soon as he got on the roof, a volley of bows and arrows shot towards him.

Without hesitation, Zi Qi quickly pulled out the soft sword from his waist, quickly dodged, cut off the arrow abruptly, and couldn't help shouting: "Who is here! What is his intention!?" While speaking, he blew an emergency whistle.

Originally, Xie's mansion was a gathering of masters, and they had heard the movement long ago, and came over after hearing the whistle, and asked about the situation, Master Xie also came over immediately, and everyone surrounded him and formed a formation.

With a serious face, Ziqi gritted his teeth and said, "We...are surrounded!"

And the officers and soldiers outside the mansion saw their traces revealed, so they simply lit their torches, and two general-looking people came out.

The light was on, but Ziqi couldn't see what he looked like, so he could only wait for the other party to speak.Only one of them said: "We are ordered by the Holy Majesty to capture the sinners of the Xie family. If you obediently surrender and surrender, I will not kill you! If you dare to resist, you will be killed!"

Ziqi's eyelids twitched, he felt bad, and hurriedly asked, "Sinner? What are we guilty of?"

The man replied loudly: "Stop pretending! We have already found out that the Xie clan killed twelve members of the Qin clan, colluded with important officials of the court, formed a clique for personal gain, and intended to rebel. You guys are changing! You should leave the house and surrender!"

Ziqi felt a chill in his heart, what should come is still here!All the doubts in my heart were confirmed one by one.

Looking at it this way, the Qin government had calculated this long ago, so...Jing Huan's death was all due to the Qin government! ?Then... the man in black?Sure enough, he is a spy from the Qin family?

However, when it comes to personal and physical evidence, he is not worried about physical evidence. The last time he used it to show Jing Huan, it was actually his own copy. According to the habit of that killer organization, the original copy was burned long ago, and he also confirmed it himself. .The only thing to worry about is witnesses!Who is the witness?Someone from that organization?

Ziqi was about to take a gamble, and continued to deal with him in a calm manner, so he said: "It's a bunch of nonsense, you just listen to one side of the story, this is a crime of intentional crime! Let me ask you, where is the witness? Where is the physical evidence?"

At this time, another man who looked like a general took another step forward and got closer to the wall. With a chuckle, Yoyo spoke, "I want a witness?! It's me...! I'm the witness! I can The proof is from your Master Xie!"

Now, because of his walking, the lights flickered a few times, the moon poked out his head, and the man's appearance was clearly reflected in Ziqi's eyes!And his laughter hit Ziqi's heart hard.

Ziqi's face turned pale in an instant, his body stiffened and stood still, his hand slipped, and the soft sword in his hand dropped from the roof to the ground with a few clangs.

Ziqi's breathing became disordered, his heart throbbed with a breath of cold air, and his heart skipped a beat. His eyes seemed to be red, his body was trembling, the corners of his mouth moved with difficulty, and two words slipped from his mouth: "... …Qin Tian……!"
