After knowing the cause and effect, Qin Heng ran to find Gu Xichao.

At this time, the Gu Mansion was in chaos, furniture and daily necessities were piled up in a small courtyard, and the few servants who had heard the imperial decree ran away with the things they could take away. .

As a result, some people left the entire Gu Mansion empty after drinking tea. Qin Heng didn't speak. He passed over the casually discarded letters, turned around the bookcase lying on the ground, and pushed open the half-covered door. Only then did he see Gu Xichao silently slammed his book into the package.

When he came, he was full of complicated and unspeakable words, which instantly blocked Qin Heng's throat. Looking at Gu Xichao like this, Qin Heng felt that words are pale, and all words are useless in the face of iron-like facts.

Hearing the noise, Gu Xichao stopped stuffing a book of miscellaneous talks in his luggage, looked up, and saw Qin Heng, whom he had had a good conversation with before, looking at him with a face of crying, Gu Xichao really couldn't do it. The smiling appearance, in this situation, he didn't want to do those usual disguises, so Qin Heng saw Gu Xichao's half-smile, and looked at him mockingly, "Why, are you also here to see the fun?"

"..." Qin Heng didn't answer, he tightened his jaw, drawing an arc of hidden strength, he walked to Gu Xichao's side, then squatted down, and carefully sorted out the books next to him, "I'll help you."

Gu Xichao, "Help? How can I help? How can I get out of here quickly and well?"

Qin Heng listened silently to Gu Xichao's angry words, then picked up the scattered books one after another on the ground, shook the dust on them, ran his finger across the small picture on the cover, and erased a few books. Silk traces.Qin Heng has noticed that as long as it is this kind of book with explanations, Gu Xichao cherishes it very much. It can be seen from the corners that it has been read many times, but it is well preserved. Seeing the small characters left behind by the other party, the neat characters filled the blank part of the book. Just by looking at it, one could imagine him reading at night and adding footnotes to the book while reading.

However, this book that has been cherished by its owner is now mercilessly thrown on the ground, covered with dust, and even the snow-white pages of the title page are stained with black ash.

The corner of Qin Heng's mouth twitched, he looked up at Gu Xichao, and said calmly, "If this makes you feel better, then you can continue."

Gu Xichao opened and closed his mocking mouth, swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out, then smiled desolately, not knowing what to say.

He really didn't know how to express it other than putting on an attitude of thorns all over his body and hurting others and himself.

Qin Heng couldn't empathize, but he understood this despair, so he came, even if it was to help him pack up, it was better than leaving him alone.He handed the books in the pocket to Gu Xichao, and then the two silently stuffed the books that he cherished so much in the past into the pocket.

Gu Xichao stood up and looked around the house where he had lived for nearly a year.

He said suddenly, "You all know, don't you?" His voice was very soft, like a feather falling into the water, causing little ripples, but there was not much movement, and the calm soon returned.

Qin Heng knew what he meant, and he didn't mean to deceive him. Besides, the streets are full of wind and rain, and the rumors about Gu Xichao being dismissed from office and kicked out of the capital are spreading wildly. He can say anything, even if he doesn't say anything, when Gu Xichao goes out, He also heard everything.

So Qin Heng acquiesced.

Gu Xichao glanced at him, understood his meaning in his heart, and said to himself, "It's funny, isn't it? It's just a piece of mud, but it wants to become a cloud, but even if it goes to the sky, it's still a black cloud." There is a world of difference between the cloud and others, and finally one day, this gap was noticed, so the silt fell back into the soil again, and it was the day when I woke up from the dream."

Qin Heng listened to this metaphor seriously, and then shook his head seriously, "A book that has not been printed, it is just a series of blank sheets of paper, and then because of the negligence of the craftsman, he put the pages of this book There were typos and gibberish in the first half, and no one could understand it, so people shook their heads and put it down, saying that it was a bad book, but those who put down the book didn't know, and they just had to read a few more pages later. page, you will find out of the ordinary new content, the new content is so attractive and so surprising.”

"But they missed it."

"Are we to blame the book?"

"No, we just need to know that the book is really talented and learned. You can choose not to read the confusing chapters in the front, and you only need to pay attention to the back."

Gu Xichao has been in a daze since hearing his speech, and in the end he didn't know who to tell these words to, "That book... will anyone still read it?"

"Yes." Qin Heng paused every word, "The imperial decree has only been issued for a short half a day, but it seems that the whole capital knows about it, don't you think it's strange?"

"To put it bluntly, the entire imperial court, big and small, doesn't know how many officials in the capital. Even if they are relatives of the emperor, they have some ties to it. A stone fell from the midair of the capital and hit several people on their heads. It may be the relatives of some official or other. Their status is more noble than yours. Why is something even more unbelievable than this incident not seen by the entire capital? How can you get so much attention for a small Tanhua? You Just received the imperial decree, the next second it was known by the whole capital, and it was still spreading?"

The words were like a blow to the head, making Gu Xichao startled, he nodded in a daze, and then his eyes widened, "That's not the case!" A blinding leaf was simply and roughly removed. It is easy to find a lot of strange things from it.He used to be because this incident happened too suddenly, and it was too difficult for him to accept the emperor's order, his whole mind was in a trance, once the feeling of losing everything was too painful, how could Gu Xichao have the energy to focus on other things, Let alone take a sober look at yourself.

So at this moment when someone pointed it out, Gu Xichao's eyes "swiped" and lit up, as if he had grasped the last straw, he took a step forward, grabbed Qin Heng's arm, and didn't let go, "You Is there anyone who doubts?"

Speaking of this, Qin Heng really has a suspect, but Qin Heng looked at Gu Xichao's state and felt that it was not easy to say it, so he said, "I should ask you this, think about it carefully, but what's the matter?" Someone who doubts?" He said this entirely to divert Gu Xichao's attention, so that he would not be overly happy or sad, but at this moment Gu Xichao is in a strange state, after hearing Qin Heng's words, he still I really ran to the side obediently and thought obediently.

While thinking about how to determine who was behind the scenes, Qin Heng cleaned up Gu Xichao's room.

When both of their stomachs were so hungry that they "cuckoo", Gu Xichao finally got out of that state and calmed down a lot. After all, he is a person who has experienced ups and downs in the officialdom, and he has everything in his heart, so he can lose his composure like this , It's all because this incident hit him too much and too suddenly.

It can't be said that he had a premonition of this day when he did this, but when it really came, Gu Xichao felt that he still underestimated his mentality.

It wasn't until they all sat at the dining table and had a hearty meal that they calmed down to talk about it.

Gu Xichao was a little moved, but also a little embarrassed, he said, "Although my father and I have worked together, we haven't known each other for a long time, to be treated like this by Xiao Heng, I would be willing to burn incense and worship Buddha. "Gu Xichao is telling the truth. Since his accident, his colleagues in the past have not made trouble, even if they have a good relationship, and their personal relationship is relatively good. After his life experience was exposed, what he got was unabashed disgust and disgust. Gu Xichao's already proud heart was crushed into the soil, dripping with blood and covered with scars. He didn't say it before, but it didn't mean he didn't feel it. To be able to say such a word now is the result of his heart surging for a long time.

Qin Heng looked at his shining eyes that rarely abandoned his politeness, and really couldn't answer in the negative, but he couldn't bear to deceive him because of his uneasy conscience, Gu Xichao saw him with just such a hesitation, and his The bottom of my heart sank, but the smile on my face became more gentle, "What's wrong?"

Qin Heng struggled, Gu Xichao saw everything in his eyes, and when the darkness in his eyes became more and more serious, he heard Qin Heng whisper, "Actually, I'm not that good either," he paused before continuing , "My father and I guessed that maybe you were implicated by us. I don't know if you have heard of my brother's case before. My father and I suspected that the main black man behind the scenes wanted to bring down the Shangshu Mansion, so I just here."

"..." Gu Xichao was dumbfounded for a while, looking at Qin Heng's appearance that Ai Ai did not dare to look at him. On the contrary, Gu Xichao's heart suddenly brightened, and he was used to thinking about the bad, but unexpectedly got such a sentence Gu Xichao turned those few words in his mind a few times, and unexpectedly found that apart from those insidious calculations, he did not reject such straightforward thoughts.

Can't help but sighed faintly, under Qin Heng's apprehensive gaze, Gu Xichao showed a real smile, this was his first smile these days, like a warm sun, "No, this is enough."

Even if it is with the intention of compensation, the aid extended is aid, and Gu Xichao will not even be confused about sincere and good intentions. Compared with those who have no reason, it is easier for him to accept such a justifiable and well-founded one.

After all, he has encountered too little kindness, and every one is worth cherishing.

No malice in the eyes, no pity or sarcasm in the face, is enough.
