Suspect in Jinling
Chapter 59
Ying Tianfu has no shortage of police manpower, and the fourth master originally didn't want Ying Tianfu to be involved in the mess of "Red Lotus Tattoo". Except for a group of action teams guarding the yamen, the rest of the police are in the yamen when they are free Organize chores and old things here, and repair Yingtian Mansion.
Yingtian Mansion is located in the middle of the city, and there are more than a thousand people coming and going in search of the sun. The repair project will definitely bring great inconvenience to daily business. After some discussion, Xiangyue worked out how to intersperse the various halls and berths to minimize inconvenience before the completion of the project.
Master Li also heard that the craftsman who repaired the mansion was not someone else. When he returned to the mansion, he asked the fourth master once. In his words, he was worried that Sha Xiangyue would act impetuously. Recently, the progress of official affairs was reported one by one. After hearing this, Mr. Li murmured, only saying that you are very easy to grasp, and will not delve into it further.
Time flies in April, and the garrison yamen ordered the Taiping Sect to be inspected, but Jin Chizi had accepted the news in advance, reminded his subordinates to hide, combed the west of the city, and fetched water from a bamboo basket several times, but he was really suppressed What the government secretary and Ying Tianfu caught were all inexplicable cases.
Ten or dozens of people from the Zhenfu Division knocked, and the fourth master from Yingtianfu's side all questioned and released all irrelevant ones. The fourth master was afraid of giving people a hard time, so he had been going to trial in person for half a month. Let’s record together, originally, he thought that there would not be many cases of embroidered red lotus, but the folks are very active in reporting, and often some unexpected people are picketed and taken to the lobby.
"At that time, many young people in the north and south were influenced by Taoist Luo Cheng. Although they were not Taiping believers, they also learned to tattoo lotus flowers on their bodies. I didn't expect that decades later, these things can still be settled."
Fourth master has a kind of free and easy peace after years of experience. It's almost noon, ah, he can't help shaking his head while sorting out the morning's files in the duty room.
The most frustrating thing in the recent case is a farmer surnamed Guo. The suspect is 45 years old. He was brought into Yingtian Mansion for the first time because he came to Jinling to sell chickens and had an argument with others. Sleeve, an old red tattoo on his body that looks like a red lotus, he reported it to the soldiers at the entrance of the market, and then coincidentally, the soldiers found a piece of paper signed by a certain surname on Guo Nongfu. There are not many people in the farm who can read and write, so they will bear doubts if they carry the words. The soldiers thought that he must be an important informant of the thief party. They happened to meet the little six sons who were patrolling in Yingtianfu, and they jointly caught the thief and escorted them to the fourth master's desk. .
This matter is actually not complicated, and it soon became clear that the note was written by Guo Nongfu's surname Xu, and there was no special chill at all.Little Six seemed hopeful, he probably thought he was going to catch a big fish, but it turned out to be an irrelevant little shrimp.The fourth master asked Nongfu Guo how he got his tattoo according to the rules. A messenger was quietly assigned to warn him to destroy the tattoo as soon as possible.
"As a result, he entered the palace for the second time today," Fourth Master said to Kuang Jian while showing an expression of dismay, "Don't ordinary people care so much about the situation these days, they can't see the town government secretary in the city. Are you going to be stunned by the capture of the Taiping Sect? It’s only been a few days, and he was arrested by the officials again and sent to me again. This kind of thing has happened so many times that he can’t explain it clearly. It’s really impressive Headache."
Kuang Jian raised her head: "What about people now?"
Fourth Master: "Let it go."
Kuang Jian: "What about tattoos?"
Fourth Master: "Crossed him with a knife in court."
The fourth master's expression seemed to be disciplining a seven or eight-year-old wild child, "I recorded his statement over and over again, asked him what relationship he had with the Taiping Sect, and recorded his resume and activities. on him."
Kuang Jian was also very helpless. Many of the official tasks assigned by Ying Tianfu were so effortless and meaningless.
Suddenly there was a hearty laugh from the little girl outside. Clerical handwriting and some miscellaneous staff would eat first to spare the rush hour for the guards at the mobile gate. Now that there are more craftsmen in the yamen, the meals have to be interspersed Come on, this should be the first group of people who finished their meal.
Fourth Master turned his head: "But the little girl from Yu Mansion is so happy staying here, she goes to listen to my trial whenever she has free time, and just now she was flattering me."
Kuang Jian laughed: "What did she say?"
Fourth master raised his eyebrows, triumphantly: "Ying, Ming, Shen, Wu!"
Kuang Jian: "She remembers the Taiping Sect, and she didn't want to make a fool of you when you judged the case." He frowned as he spoke, "But hasn't she been too happy recently? After the Jiangs and his wife came, she seemed like If you're kidding, is the Jiang family still in Jinling?"
The fourth master suddenly turned around: "What? You suspect her... No way, she is only 15 years old, does she have so many thoughts?"
If Yu Daijiao was testing Ying Tianfu's attitude towards the Taiping Sect on behalf of Jiang Xingzheng's government secretary, then this false and real stall would be too big.
Kuang Jian looked at Fourth Master in a vague way, "Let's try, you must be on guard against others."
Fourth master always thinks that it is not possible, but it is really time to try, after all, if this matter is not handled properly, the backyard will catch fire, "Well, you go and try it, I will call the little craftsman to eat."
Kuang Jian: "...?!"
The fourth master is dressed in chic, and while dragging his long voice, he stood up calmly: "Our yamen in Yingtianfu! It's big! It's more than 400 square meters. If you avoid it, you really won't see it," he said cunningly. She smiled, winked and said: "Don't say it, I haven't seen you for a few days, I still want to kill you."
Kuang Jian: "..."
As the fourth master said, there are too many people in Yingtian Mansion, and there are too many things involved. These days, for repairs, all the long halls of the valet are being moved, and Kuang Jian's valet is also important and unimportant. Tidying up, waiting for the back hall to transition to the middle hall, when Yu Daijiao was called to Kuang Jian's desk, she thought she had made some mistake again, her small face was wrinkled tightly, waiting for Kuang Bu's hair to fall.
Kuang Jian looked up at her in his busy schedule, without saying a word, he took the lead in opening his drawer, and pushed over a small box: "Don't be nervous, I happened to be away when the Jiangs and his wife came to the office a while ago, this is a return gift, you can help me Give it to Madam Jiang."
Kuang Catcher is stern and selfless, and Yu Daijiao is suddenly a little confused about the direction of this relationship: "...Huh?"
Kuang Jian said seriously: "I heard Madam Jiang likes to play cards. This is a small toad inlaid with gold and jade. It's not a very expensive thing. Touch it before playing cards as a good omen."
"Oh, ... oh," Kuang Jian said so, and Yu Daijiao accepted it for her future mother-in-law. She asked a little uneasy: "Kuang Boss, do you have something to tell me?"
Kuang Jian: "What's important, I just heard you talking outside and remembered this incident. Your parents-in-law came to Jinling, so you should go out with them to have fun. Ying Tianfu forgot to give you a vacation. I will grant it to you now." .”
"Ah? No need!" Yu Daijiao immediately waved her hands and said quickly, "They don't need me to accompany them!"
Kuang Jian put on a serious face, "What are you talking about? You are temporarily staying in Yingtian Mansion, and their husband and wife specially came to thank you. You are a daughter-in-law, so it doesn't matter where your parents-in-law are?"
Yu Daijiao frowned, pouted her lips, and said recklessly without saying anything, "Kuang Jian, are you trying to trick me?"
Kuang Jian glanced at her: "If you think so, then I don't need to say this. Get out."
Yu Daijiao stood still, and directly played the card: "I don't know why the Jiang family came to Jinling suddenly this time, and I don't know where they put it besides Ying Tianfu, but I do know something."
Kuang Jian didn't speak, just looked at her.
Yu Daijiao said stubbornly: "I know who the Taiping sect's 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow' is, and I also know that you and Fourth Master knew who 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow' was long before I was arrested, and that you arrested someone and didn't say anything about it. I also know that you have been in private contact with the Taiping Sect during this period of time."
Kuang Jian's scalp exploded suddenly, but his face remained calm: "Who told you such nonsense?"
For the people in the yamen, being attached to the Taiping Sect is death. Although there is no physical evidence left for what Kuang Jian has done with the fourth master now, she has already violated the big taboo in the yamen. This little girl speaks out , Maybe something bad will happen to her.
With a round face, Yu Daijiao said angrily, "No one told me, and I won't tell anyone. As for how I know, I'm not stupid. I have eyes to see and ears to listen. Fourth Master went to my house to look for my father, and I knew you guys knew who 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow' was, and I also knew that my father was helping Ying Tianfu to investigate the life of the little master craftsman. If the family is ruined, you and the fourth master don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so you warned the police in advance to the west of the city, and now those people are still safe and sound, you are taking the risk - I am grateful to you, and naturally I won't talk nonsense against you. "
Kuang Jian didn't admit it or deny it, but she was indeed confused by Yu Daijiao: "What do you want to say?"
Yu Daijiao looked irritated: "I don't want to say anything, I just want to tell you that I have not disclosed the news of Ying Tianfu to anyone, nor will I disclose the news of the Taiping Sect to the Secretary of the Zhenfu, but if you ask me about the Jiang family, I also have nothing to say--
"Although I don't like Jiang Xingzheng, he is my future family member. He would rather make mistakes and protect me. He never blamed me when he was suspended. He can also persuade his parents to treat me well. I have no reason to be unfavorable to his family. "You and Fourth Master let Liuli go and took me to work in Yingtian Mansion. Although the name is discipline, you really treat me well, and I won't do you any harm; similarly, Master Xiaosha is in my most difficult time." Time to find me, save Liuli and me, also let me meet many people, know many things, I will not be against them... You three parties have their own positions, you are not fellow travelers, if things go wrong, you will go to war one day, I know this, but for me, I have received your favor, and you are equally important to me. You have conflicts that cannot be resolved, and this is not something I can solve. I have no choice but to act as if I don’t know... ...But don't expect me to be popular. My only repayment to you is to keep my mouth shut."
Kuang Jian's eyes suddenly changed when Yu Daijiao finished speaking.
He always thought that Yu Daijiao was superficial and thoughtless, but he didn't expect her to think things through so clearly and have such insightful principles.
Kuang Jian asked casually curiously: "Then you join the Taiping Sect, do you believe in the teachings of the Taiping Sect?"
Yudaijiao wrinkled her nose: "I don't really believe it, but I also don't believe in my father's Confucianism, Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. I don’t understand. Catcher Kuang, don’t ask me such a question, I only act according to my conscience, I can’t explain these things clearly.”
Kuang Jian smiled shallowly, feeling that Sha Xiangyue had a good eye for seeing people.
"Okay, since you said that, then I won't ask you. I'll tell you something, and you can decide how to do it yourself."
Yu Daijiao nodded immediately: "Okay, tell me."
Kuang Jian: "Two things. The first one is that the Ministry of Finance has a huge case involving a huge amount of tax. The Taiping Sect has been involved in the investigation for the past year and angered the people behind the scenes. The second one , this person behind the scenes was once Liulier's benefactor, and he gave her important information and evidence, and Jiang Xingzheng accidentally noticed this."
"What, what do you mean?" Yu Daijiao turned her head quickly: "You suspect that my in-laws' family has colluded with the person behind the scenes?"
Kuang Jian did not say yes, nor did he say no, but just threw out another message: "You should know Jiang Xingzheng's crimes in the Hu Ye case best. If he is asked to take the crime and make meritorious deeds, he is now full of energy, just to make a fuss about the 'Red Lotus Tattoo'."
Kuang Jian won't say death without evidence, but the trend of this situation will indeed make people think too much.Yu Daijiao raised her face seriously, and she knew Kuang Jian's sensitivity and accuracy. Some people are born to do this job, even if it is an analysis and reasoning that has no evidence for the time being, even if it fails, it is not far away.
Yu Daijiao spoke very bluntly, and Kuang Jian also said bluntly to him: "I'm just telling you about this matter, and you can decide how to do it yourself - people with conscience also talk about right and wrong, good and evil, right? You It is up to you whether to inquire or not. What physical evidence you get and whether you hand it over to Ying Tianfu is also up to you. If you don't believe me, you can go to Sha Xiangyue to discuss it, because he is the one who is investigating the household department case. You can check with him."
Yu Daijiao's mind was a little confused: "Wait, let me smooth it out..."
Kuang Jian finished ordering without saying much, got up and went out to ask someone to bring a pot of tea, Yudai sat dazedly next to Kuang Jian's desk, her eyes unintentionally scanning Kuang Jian's desk.Kuang Jian's desktop was in a mess due to repairs and moves in the yamen. In the open drawer, besides the gift box given to her, there was another gift box of the same size. Next to the thick stack of official documents on the right side, there was a roll of exquisitely carved scrolls. , Her mind was in a mess, her hands tended to rummage, she opened it casually, she was startled, before she could finish the scroll, she heard the footsteps of Kuang Jian coming back, and immediately rolled it up vigilantly.
Kuang Jian brought the teapot into the room and gave her a cup. Yu Daijiao was skeptical and raised her head cautiously: "You gave me so much information, why?"
Kuang Jian dealt with the child casually: "There are so many reasons."
Yu Daijiao: "You want to use my mouth to tell the little master craftsman this, so you tell me, right?"
Kuang Jianqing cupped back to his seat and concentrated on flipping through the copybook, pretending he didn't hear it.
Yudaijiao showed a different look, seeing that he didn't want to pay attention to her, she took the initiative to say: "Liu Lier is not in Jinling, and I don't know where she is."
Kuang Jian obviously didn't want to talk anymore: "Fourth Master and I don't want to arrest her anymore, you let her do it outside, don't have to tell me these things."
"No..." Yu Daijiao hurriedly explained that she was not lying, but was just reciprocating: "I just want to tell you, I'm afraid there is no rush for what you said, because Liuli has no contact with us now, and for her absolute safety, The Taiping Sect doesn't know where she is, but if she comes back, she should contact me first..."
Kuang Jian gestured to see off the guests again, and patiently agreed: "Okay, got it, go get busy."
Yu Daijiao doesn't hate Kuang Jian, she even wants to chat with Kuang Jian for a while, and it's better to talk about personal matters, but Kuang Jian suddenly treats herself no differently than she treats her subordinates, so she just wrinkled her nose and walked away resentfully. Kuang Jian had a complicated face, and when Yu Daijiao stepped out of the door, she slowly raised her head, and looked at the back of the little girl silently and worriedly——
The renovation of Yingtian Mansion is progressing very quickly, the servants are young and strong young men who often work, and Sha Xiangyue is looking for experienced old craftsmen. In addition, he and the fourth master have made overall arrangements and coordination in advance, and the two Prudent and pragmatic people got together to discuss, and there were basically no accidents during the entire repair process.
On the last day, the interior of Yingtian Mansion was basically completed, except for the old tiles in the auditorium that had not been replaced, and one side of the outer wall that had not been painted. The chores that were moved out before were moved back, and they were talking excitedly about the dinner after work in the evening. As the evening approached, Fourth Master led people to set up a dozen grills and stoves in the middle hall early, cut the beef and pork, and asked the restaurant to deliver Everyone was very excited about the carload of fine wine. Hundreds of people gathered in the middle hall to chop and barbecue meat, and had a feast with the craftsmen who had worked hard together for more than ten days and had already become friends.
It is unavoidable that Kuang Jian and Sha Xiangyue are arranged at the same table. Since the last earth-shattering quarrel, these two people have avoided going to Yingtianfu activities. If one person eats, the other We must wait for the next wave of food, repair to Kuang Jian's value room, Master Xiaosha must have materials to confirm to pick up the goods outside, the original fault that Kuang Jian found was all rejected by the fourth master, some changes to the moving line pattern, doors and windows are all the same Hearing Sha Xiangyue's original arrangement, but Sha Xiangyue didn't feel too happy, just doing the things in his duties step by step.
Sha Xiangyue is the main contributor to this repair. Fourth master must praise Xiao Sha's master's craftsmanship when he opens the banquet. Fourth master talked about the origin, and also interrupted a certain head-catching layman, and the investigator insisted on arguing with someone about repairing the house!The people in Yingtianfu responded honestly, looking at Kuang Jian one after another, coaxing Kuang to catch the head and make amends to the killer. .
Sha Xiangyue was a little embarrassed, and barely finished a bowl, thinking that tonight's interaction with Kuang Jian would end here, who knew that he underestimated the loyal and slippery people like Ying Tianfu, after the banquet, the fourth master Cheng Dabin came to toast him first, and since the third bowl, he didn't know who came up with the idea, so he sent someone to toast to him, thanked him, and then asked Kuang Jian to drink for him.
Killing Xiangyue: ...?
Kuang Jian didn't say anything, she poured out a bowl of wine with a calm face, and held the cup to drink for him.
Killing Xiangyue: ...? !
Seeing that it was so easy, the guards let go, and suddenly booed and applauded, then got up one after another, and lined up beside Sha Xiangyue in unison.
Sha Xiangyue:? ? ?
The guards are very experienced and know how to persuade people to drink is the most effective. What kind of little killer works day and night, and Kuang catcher hides and does not do a job, he should be punished!Fourth Master had dinner with Master Xiaosha several times, but Catcher Kuang didn't show his face, he should be punished!Master Xiaosha is inconvenient to do things with one hand, and Catcher Kuang didn't even say to help!It should be punished, the last cup was replaced, and this cup should be replaced too, Kuang catches a lot of money, this bowl is not bad...
Sha Xiangyue was dumbfounded. Originally, Kuang Jian had little to do with this matter, but she was tied up with her endlessly.The fourth master didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, looked at Sha Xiangyue's expression, and kept helping Kuang Jian to pour wine. Kuang Jian was threatened by various names so that he could only eat one bowl, and when it was twenty bowls, Sha Xiangyue finally couldn't help but said: "Don't let him drink, he is not good at drinking, what should he do at night when he is drunk?"
Immediately, the crowd let out a burst of unexplained laughter, and began to say that Master Killer felt distressed!
"Master Kill, let us catch Kuang to drink, he is good at drinking, he can't drink it down!"
"That's right, that's right, Catcher Kuang has a few bowls! If you get drunk, you can get drunk, and there's no one to take care of you!"
This group of people has been fighting for seedlings, and it is rare that there are only a few honest people left. Qian Jin, wearing a gray cap with a big tongue and blushing face, said to Sha Xiangyue honestly, "Don't worry, Master Kill." Well, Kuang Tou is born not drunk, we all know this, last winter Yingtian Mansion's more than 100 officers took turns toasting him wine, and he caught a thief on the way home after the bureau broke up."
The policemen all agreed, loudly saying that Kuang Tou is a liar!Every time they pretended to be drunk, if it wasn't for that time, they wouldn't know that there are so many Kuangtou!
The atmosphere of the crowd suddenly reached its highest point, and all the subordinates who suffered from it were filled with righteous indignation, one by one, they stepped forward and said that they must have a cup of Kuangtou today, otherwise this matter would never end, only Sha Xiangyue listened, and was stunned for a moment up...
Another glass of wine was lifted boldly and roughly.
Sha Xiangyue opened her eyes wide and looked at Kuang Jian, only one table away, Kuang Jian didn't dare to look at him, her eyes dodged in a panic——
The hands that received the wine trembled for a moment, but Kuang Jian concealed it very well. He took a deep breath and dried it up. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he turned over the wine bowl and opened it up to everyone. He apologized: "Everyone go eat meat first, I won't run away, but if you don't eat meat, you will burn!"
The fourth master was also afraid that his subordinates would share Kuang Jian's food with this momentum, so he immediately got up to help smooth things over, and then got up and went to other tables in a dignified manner. Kuang Jian coughed lightly and nervously licked his own lips, but this time he didn't dodge any more, turned his head, and looked at Sha Xiangyue——
Sha Xiangyue's eyes suddenly turned red, she smiled wryly, and said softly, "...you lied to me."
Is Kuang Jian drunk...
Sha Xiangyue suddenly found that he had made many mistakes. He kept worrying about how much Kuang Jian remembered that night, and told himself countless times that Kuang Jian just drank too much and could not remember. Even if he remembers someone, he won't admit it. Don't take yourself too seriously.But now that everything was unfolded, he suddenly realized that it was not that Kuang Jian didn't remember, he remembered everything that happened that night, and even, it was something he did while awake.
Numerous details whistled and replayed in Sha Xiangyue's mind, Kuang Jian's movements and demeanor at that time, he was so tall that he pressed her shoulders in the sedan chair, and hung on her body tightly against her on the way home, He even picked himself up, fell on the bed, pulled his hem and pressed down hard under the quilt... All his actions that night were full of desire...
Sha Xiangyue's throat suddenly felt sore, and it was suddenly hard to imagine such a thing.He always thought that there was someone in Kuang Jian's heart that he couldn't let go of, so that day he mistook himself for someone else and did that set of Meng Lang's behavior. He kept telling himself not to care, but such a happy thing, over and over again It became an extremely painful memory in his heart, because he felt that he had seen Kuang Jian's real emotional appearance, knew how he treated his sweetheart, knew how hot, impulsive, and passionate he could be, so in countless sober During the daytime, Kuang Jian's indifference, suspicion, alienation, and defense were like knives one after another, constantly reminding himself that he had no feelings for him at all...
But if he was sober at that time, he was sober at that time...
Sha Xiangyue's voice trembled, and in the noisy background, he asked calmly, "You don't want to explain?"
Kuang Jian didn't dodge, he looked into Sha Xiangyue's eyes, his heart beat wildly, and he answered him clearly, apologetically, and frankly: "I wasn't drunk that day. I remember all of that."
Jiang Xingzheng's drinking capacity did not make him drunk at all. He just felt very uncomfortable that day. Seeing Jiang Xingzheng collapsed, he also fell on the table and did not want to move. He wanted to wait for Sha Xiangyue to pick him up.
Sha Xiangyue didn't feel it herself, but he was so gentle that day. Kuang Jian never knew that Sha Xiangyue could be so gentle. Seeing him drunk, she carried him down the stairs and into the sedan chair with great difficulty, refusing to use her hands Others, afraid that he would be sad, kept letting him rest on their shoulders, stroked his back, and whispered all the way into his ears.When he was sober, Sha Xiangyue was like a knife that would cut his hands no matter how he held it. Only when he was sick, drunk, and lost his mind would he show his tenderness.
Kuang Jian still can't tell what he was thinking that night. He just had a thought, walked to the door of the house, bent down, picked him up, and threw him on the bed. He was waiting for Sha Xiangyue to slap him suddenly, or Kicking him away fiercely, and even Sha Xiangyue took out a knife to chop him off when he was enraged, Kuang Jian would not be surprised, but Sha Xiangyue didn't, his resistance was so weak that it almost didn't exist, at the beginning After being stunned, Sha Xiangyue lay under him, called him "Ah Jian" in a low voice, and then undressed...
Kuang Jian was really dumbfounded at that moment, he always thought that he was a wishful thinking beggar, Sha Xiangyue's response made him feel that he was going to die of thirst one moment, and suddenly sat in the forest water and sweet spring the next moment, but this Everything happened too fast, and he couldn't get off immediately—his behavior was too despicable, if he stopped, he couldn't explain this behavior, if he couldn't stop, with the momentum of the two of them, it would be unclear if they were together What's more, he couldn't think too much at the time, Sha Xiangyue gasped and screamed hard, obviously she was emotionally moved by him, Kuang Jian was dizzy and self-inflicted, and she was dealing with it with her burned-out brain...
On the floor table, Sha Xiangyue was so angry that she couldn't speak, she couldn't imagine that she could still have such a thing.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and asked coldly, "Who is Bao Deng?"
He didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to ask this, he wanted to confirm whether the name that made him hate it over and over again really existed or was fabricated.
Kuang Jian's eyes flickered for a moment, and just about to speak, Yu Daijiao, who had been eavesdropping for an untold amount of time, suddenly jumped up!
"Treasure Lantern?! I know who it is!"
His darting startled Sha Xiangyue, coupled with his loud voice, the two of them, who were not attracting attention at first, immediately attracted countless eyes.
Yu Daijiao shouted: "I saw the paintings he painted in the value room of Kuang Butou, and they were secretly hidden portraits! Kuang Butou, you have to explain it to Master Killer!"
Sha Xiangyue's heart skipped a beat, her face didn't move, but her heart looked like someone had thrown a basin of ice water violently.
He looked at Kuang Jian, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "So there really is someone like him."
Kuang Jian's complexion changed slightly, she wanted to catch the little girl and tell her to shut up, but Yu Daijiao winked at him, and then walked towards him to check the room. Immediately lead someone to stop Kuang Jian, turned his head and gave Yu Daijiao a frenzied wink: "Jiaojiao! Go get it!"
These two people were really afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and the guards would make noises if they understood or not. After a while, Yu Daijiao ran out with the painting in her arms, shouting as she ran, as if she wanted to complain to Sha Xiangyue : "Kuang catcher's painting is different from his painting of wanted criminals, and I don't know how long he has been secretly hiding things!" As he spoke, he gesticulated towards Kuang Jian triumphantly, with a look of "You have today too" The expression on his face: "Ying Tianfu is not the one who investigates the case. Did you see it? This is the ironclad evidence!"
Yu Daijiao is arrogant and difficult to deal with, and Kuang Jian can't take her, so she can only let the little girl run to Sha Xiangyue excitedly, and encourage him to watch it together. Nai said: "What do I see for his sweetheart?" But in the end, he couldn't bear the jade belt's coquettishness, so he had no choice but to glance at the painting, and then his pupils narrowed slightly——
Yudaijiao exclaimed excitedly: "Look! It's an ironclad proof! ... The charm of this painting is really wonderful. The painter has never been easy to get the rhyme, and it is better than Kuang Catcher's painting of a wanted criminal who doesn't know how to brushwork." How much!"
Yu Daijiao was already proficient in calligraphy and painting. Hearing what she said, a group of curious servants approached him meaningfully. After seeing it clearly, they all exclaimed and looked at Sha Xiangyue with subtle expressions——
On the scroll, I saw a person with a long face, a narrow nose bridge, no frontal face, only a profile - but a profile is enough.
Sha Xiangyue's eyes became hot, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, he looked up at Kuang Jian——
Just like what Yu Daijiao said, the charm of the person in the painting is so good that you can tell who it is without having to draw a straight face. Holding a fish food box, the illuminated fingers are slender and distinct, and the fish food and sunlight are rustling down on his fingertips.
Kuang Jian drew him.
That was the first meeting, the day when Kuang Jian met him.
Four lines of small characters are inscribed on the corner of the painting:
The precious lantern of the Zifu Immortal,
The cloud slurry freezes when it is not drunk.
How the snow and the moon make the night,
It is even on the twelfth floor of Yaotai.
Yingtian Mansion is located in the middle of the city, and there are more than a thousand people coming and going in search of the sun. The repair project will definitely bring great inconvenience to daily business. After some discussion, Xiangyue worked out how to intersperse the various halls and berths to minimize inconvenience before the completion of the project.
Master Li also heard that the craftsman who repaired the mansion was not someone else. When he returned to the mansion, he asked the fourth master once. In his words, he was worried that Sha Xiangyue would act impetuously. Recently, the progress of official affairs was reported one by one. After hearing this, Mr. Li murmured, only saying that you are very easy to grasp, and will not delve into it further.
Time flies in April, and the garrison yamen ordered the Taiping Sect to be inspected, but Jin Chizi had accepted the news in advance, reminded his subordinates to hide, combed the west of the city, and fetched water from a bamboo basket several times, but he was really suppressed What the government secretary and Ying Tianfu caught were all inexplicable cases.
Ten or dozens of people from the Zhenfu Division knocked, and the fourth master from Yingtianfu's side all questioned and released all irrelevant ones. The fourth master was afraid of giving people a hard time, so he had been going to trial in person for half a month. Let’s record together, originally, he thought that there would not be many cases of embroidered red lotus, but the folks are very active in reporting, and often some unexpected people are picketed and taken to the lobby.
"At that time, many young people in the north and south were influenced by Taoist Luo Cheng. Although they were not Taiping believers, they also learned to tattoo lotus flowers on their bodies. I didn't expect that decades later, these things can still be settled."
Fourth master has a kind of free and easy peace after years of experience. It's almost noon, ah, he can't help shaking his head while sorting out the morning's files in the duty room.
The most frustrating thing in the recent case is a farmer surnamed Guo. The suspect is 45 years old. He was brought into Yingtian Mansion for the first time because he came to Jinling to sell chickens and had an argument with others. Sleeve, an old red tattoo on his body that looks like a red lotus, he reported it to the soldiers at the entrance of the market, and then coincidentally, the soldiers found a piece of paper signed by a certain surname on Guo Nongfu. There are not many people in the farm who can read and write, so they will bear doubts if they carry the words. The soldiers thought that he must be an important informant of the thief party. They happened to meet the little six sons who were patrolling in Yingtianfu, and they jointly caught the thief and escorted them to the fourth master's desk. .
This matter is actually not complicated, and it soon became clear that the note was written by Guo Nongfu's surname Xu, and there was no special chill at all.Little Six seemed hopeful, he probably thought he was going to catch a big fish, but it turned out to be an irrelevant little shrimp.The fourth master asked Nongfu Guo how he got his tattoo according to the rules. A messenger was quietly assigned to warn him to destroy the tattoo as soon as possible.
"As a result, he entered the palace for the second time today," Fourth Master said to Kuang Jian while showing an expression of dismay, "Don't ordinary people care so much about the situation these days, they can't see the town government secretary in the city. Are you going to be stunned by the capture of the Taiping Sect? It’s only been a few days, and he was arrested by the officials again and sent to me again. This kind of thing has happened so many times that he can’t explain it clearly. It’s really impressive Headache."
Kuang Jian raised her head: "What about people now?"
Fourth Master: "Let it go."
Kuang Jian: "What about tattoos?"
Fourth Master: "Crossed him with a knife in court."
The fourth master's expression seemed to be disciplining a seven or eight-year-old wild child, "I recorded his statement over and over again, asked him what relationship he had with the Taiping Sect, and recorded his resume and activities. on him."
Kuang Jian was also very helpless. Many of the official tasks assigned by Ying Tianfu were so effortless and meaningless.
Suddenly there was a hearty laugh from the little girl outside. Clerical handwriting and some miscellaneous staff would eat first to spare the rush hour for the guards at the mobile gate. Now that there are more craftsmen in the yamen, the meals have to be interspersed Come on, this should be the first group of people who finished their meal.
Fourth Master turned his head: "But the little girl from Yu Mansion is so happy staying here, she goes to listen to my trial whenever she has free time, and just now she was flattering me."
Kuang Jian laughed: "What did she say?"
Fourth master raised his eyebrows, triumphantly: "Ying, Ming, Shen, Wu!"
Kuang Jian: "She remembers the Taiping Sect, and she didn't want to make a fool of you when you judged the case." He frowned as he spoke, "But hasn't she been too happy recently? After the Jiangs and his wife came, she seemed like If you're kidding, is the Jiang family still in Jinling?"
The fourth master suddenly turned around: "What? You suspect her... No way, she is only 15 years old, does she have so many thoughts?"
If Yu Daijiao was testing Ying Tianfu's attitude towards the Taiping Sect on behalf of Jiang Xingzheng's government secretary, then this false and real stall would be too big.
Kuang Jian looked at Fourth Master in a vague way, "Let's try, you must be on guard against others."
Fourth master always thinks that it is not possible, but it is really time to try, after all, if this matter is not handled properly, the backyard will catch fire, "Well, you go and try it, I will call the little craftsman to eat."
Kuang Jian: "...?!"
The fourth master is dressed in chic, and while dragging his long voice, he stood up calmly: "Our yamen in Yingtianfu! It's big! It's more than 400 square meters. If you avoid it, you really won't see it," he said cunningly. She smiled, winked and said: "Don't say it, I haven't seen you for a few days, I still want to kill you."
Kuang Jian: "..."
As the fourth master said, there are too many people in Yingtian Mansion, and there are too many things involved. These days, for repairs, all the long halls of the valet are being moved, and Kuang Jian's valet is also important and unimportant. Tidying up, waiting for the back hall to transition to the middle hall, when Yu Daijiao was called to Kuang Jian's desk, she thought she had made some mistake again, her small face was wrinkled tightly, waiting for Kuang Bu's hair to fall.
Kuang Jian looked up at her in his busy schedule, without saying a word, he took the lead in opening his drawer, and pushed over a small box: "Don't be nervous, I happened to be away when the Jiangs and his wife came to the office a while ago, this is a return gift, you can help me Give it to Madam Jiang."
Kuang Catcher is stern and selfless, and Yu Daijiao is suddenly a little confused about the direction of this relationship: "...Huh?"
Kuang Jian said seriously: "I heard Madam Jiang likes to play cards. This is a small toad inlaid with gold and jade. It's not a very expensive thing. Touch it before playing cards as a good omen."
"Oh, ... oh," Kuang Jian said so, and Yu Daijiao accepted it for her future mother-in-law. She asked a little uneasy: "Kuang Boss, do you have something to tell me?"
Kuang Jian: "What's important, I just heard you talking outside and remembered this incident. Your parents-in-law came to Jinling, so you should go out with them to have fun. Ying Tianfu forgot to give you a vacation. I will grant it to you now." .”
"Ah? No need!" Yu Daijiao immediately waved her hands and said quickly, "They don't need me to accompany them!"
Kuang Jian put on a serious face, "What are you talking about? You are temporarily staying in Yingtian Mansion, and their husband and wife specially came to thank you. You are a daughter-in-law, so it doesn't matter where your parents-in-law are?"
Yu Daijiao frowned, pouted her lips, and said recklessly without saying anything, "Kuang Jian, are you trying to trick me?"
Kuang Jian glanced at her: "If you think so, then I don't need to say this. Get out."
Yu Daijiao stood still, and directly played the card: "I don't know why the Jiang family came to Jinling suddenly this time, and I don't know where they put it besides Ying Tianfu, but I do know something."
Kuang Jian didn't speak, just looked at her.
Yu Daijiao said stubbornly: "I know who the Taiping sect's 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow' is, and I also know that you and Fourth Master knew who 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow' was long before I was arrested, and that you arrested someone and didn't say anything about it. I also know that you have been in private contact with the Taiping Sect during this period of time."
Kuang Jian's scalp exploded suddenly, but his face remained calm: "Who told you such nonsense?"
For the people in the yamen, being attached to the Taiping Sect is death. Although there is no physical evidence left for what Kuang Jian has done with the fourth master now, she has already violated the big taboo in the yamen. This little girl speaks out , Maybe something bad will happen to her.
With a round face, Yu Daijiao said angrily, "No one told me, and I won't tell anyone. As for how I know, I'm not stupid. I have eyes to see and ears to listen. Fourth Master went to my house to look for my father, and I knew you guys knew who 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow' was, and I also knew that my father was helping Ying Tianfu to investigate the life of the little master craftsman. If the family is ruined, you and the fourth master don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so you warned the police in advance to the west of the city, and now those people are still safe and sound, you are taking the risk - I am grateful to you, and naturally I won't talk nonsense against you. "
Kuang Jian didn't admit it or deny it, but she was indeed confused by Yu Daijiao: "What do you want to say?"
Yu Daijiao looked irritated: "I don't want to say anything, I just want to tell you that I have not disclosed the news of Ying Tianfu to anyone, nor will I disclose the news of the Taiping Sect to the Secretary of the Zhenfu, but if you ask me about the Jiang family, I also have nothing to say--
"Although I don't like Jiang Xingzheng, he is my future family member. He would rather make mistakes and protect me. He never blamed me when he was suspended. He can also persuade his parents to treat me well. I have no reason to be unfavorable to his family. "You and Fourth Master let Liuli go and took me to work in Yingtian Mansion. Although the name is discipline, you really treat me well, and I won't do you any harm; similarly, Master Xiaosha is in my most difficult time." Time to find me, save Liuli and me, also let me meet many people, know many things, I will not be against them... You three parties have their own positions, you are not fellow travelers, if things go wrong, you will go to war one day, I know this, but for me, I have received your favor, and you are equally important to me. You have conflicts that cannot be resolved, and this is not something I can solve. I have no choice but to act as if I don’t know... ...But don't expect me to be popular. My only repayment to you is to keep my mouth shut."
Kuang Jian's eyes suddenly changed when Yu Daijiao finished speaking.
He always thought that Yu Daijiao was superficial and thoughtless, but he didn't expect her to think things through so clearly and have such insightful principles.
Kuang Jian asked casually curiously: "Then you join the Taiping Sect, do you believe in the teachings of the Taiping Sect?"
Yudaijiao wrinkled her nose: "I don't really believe it, but I also don't believe in my father's Confucianism, Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. I don’t understand. Catcher Kuang, don’t ask me such a question, I only act according to my conscience, I can’t explain these things clearly.”
Kuang Jian smiled shallowly, feeling that Sha Xiangyue had a good eye for seeing people.
"Okay, since you said that, then I won't ask you. I'll tell you something, and you can decide how to do it yourself."
Yu Daijiao nodded immediately: "Okay, tell me."
Kuang Jian: "Two things. The first one is that the Ministry of Finance has a huge case involving a huge amount of tax. The Taiping Sect has been involved in the investigation for the past year and angered the people behind the scenes. The second one , this person behind the scenes was once Liulier's benefactor, and he gave her important information and evidence, and Jiang Xingzheng accidentally noticed this."
"What, what do you mean?" Yu Daijiao turned her head quickly: "You suspect that my in-laws' family has colluded with the person behind the scenes?"
Kuang Jian did not say yes, nor did he say no, but just threw out another message: "You should know Jiang Xingzheng's crimes in the Hu Ye case best. If he is asked to take the crime and make meritorious deeds, he is now full of energy, just to make a fuss about the 'Red Lotus Tattoo'."
Kuang Jian won't say death without evidence, but the trend of this situation will indeed make people think too much.Yu Daijiao raised her face seriously, and she knew Kuang Jian's sensitivity and accuracy. Some people are born to do this job, even if it is an analysis and reasoning that has no evidence for the time being, even if it fails, it is not far away.
Yu Daijiao spoke very bluntly, and Kuang Jian also said bluntly to him: "I'm just telling you about this matter, and you can decide how to do it yourself - people with conscience also talk about right and wrong, good and evil, right? You It is up to you whether to inquire or not. What physical evidence you get and whether you hand it over to Ying Tianfu is also up to you. If you don't believe me, you can go to Sha Xiangyue to discuss it, because he is the one who is investigating the household department case. You can check with him."
Yu Daijiao's mind was a little confused: "Wait, let me smooth it out..."
Kuang Jian finished ordering without saying much, got up and went out to ask someone to bring a pot of tea, Yudai sat dazedly next to Kuang Jian's desk, her eyes unintentionally scanning Kuang Jian's desk.Kuang Jian's desktop was in a mess due to repairs and moves in the yamen. In the open drawer, besides the gift box given to her, there was another gift box of the same size. Next to the thick stack of official documents on the right side, there was a roll of exquisitely carved scrolls. , Her mind was in a mess, her hands tended to rummage, she opened it casually, she was startled, before she could finish the scroll, she heard the footsteps of Kuang Jian coming back, and immediately rolled it up vigilantly.
Kuang Jian brought the teapot into the room and gave her a cup. Yu Daijiao was skeptical and raised her head cautiously: "You gave me so much information, why?"
Kuang Jian dealt with the child casually: "There are so many reasons."
Yu Daijiao: "You want to use my mouth to tell the little master craftsman this, so you tell me, right?"
Kuang Jianqing cupped back to his seat and concentrated on flipping through the copybook, pretending he didn't hear it.
Yudaijiao showed a different look, seeing that he didn't want to pay attention to her, she took the initiative to say: "Liu Lier is not in Jinling, and I don't know where she is."
Kuang Jian obviously didn't want to talk anymore: "Fourth Master and I don't want to arrest her anymore, you let her do it outside, don't have to tell me these things."
"No..." Yu Daijiao hurriedly explained that she was not lying, but was just reciprocating: "I just want to tell you, I'm afraid there is no rush for what you said, because Liuli has no contact with us now, and for her absolute safety, The Taiping Sect doesn't know where she is, but if she comes back, she should contact me first..."
Kuang Jian gestured to see off the guests again, and patiently agreed: "Okay, got it, go get busy."
Yu Daijiao doesn't hate Kuang Jian, she even wants to chat with Kuang Jian for a while, and it's better to talk about personal matters, but Kuang Jian suddenly treats herself no differently than she treats her subordinates, so she just wrinkled her nose and walked away resentfully. Kuang Jian had a complicated face, and when Yu Daijiao stepped out of the door, she slowly raised her head, and looked at the back of the little girl silently and worriedly——
The renovation of Yingtian Mansion is progressing very quickly, the servants are young and strong young men who often work, and Sha Xiangyue is looking for experienced old craftsmen. In addition, he and the fourth master have made overall arrangements and coordination in advance, and the two Prudent and pragmatic people got together to discuss, and there were basically no accidents during the entire repair process.
On the last day, the interior of Yingtian Mansion was basically completed, except for the old tiles in the auditorium that had not been replaced, and one side of the outer wall that had not been painted. The chores that were moved out before were moved back, and they were talking excitedly about the dinner after work in the evening. As the evening approached, Fourth Master led people to set up a dozen grills and stoves in the middle hall early, cut the beef and pork, and asked the restaurant to deliver Everyone was very excited about the carload of fine wine. Hundreds of people gathered in the middle hall to chop and barbecue meat, and had a feast with the craftsmen who had worked hard together for more than ten days and had already become friends.
It is unavoidable that Kuang Jian and Sha Xiangyue are arranged at the same table. Since the last earth-shattering quarrel, these two people have avoided going to Yingtianfu activities. If one person eats, the other We must wait for the next wave of food, repair to Kuang Jian's value room, Master Xiaosha must have materials to confirm to pick up the goods outside, the original fault that Kuang Jian found was all rejected by the fourth master, some changes to the moving line pattern, doors and windows are all the same Hearing Sha Xiangyue's original arrangement, but Sha Xiangyue didn't feel too happy, just doing the things in his duties step by step.
Sha Xiangyue is the main contributor to this repair. Fourth master must praise Xiao Sha's master's craftsmanship when he opens the banquet. Fourth master talked about the origin, and also interrupted a certain head-catching layman, and the investigator insisted on arguing with someone about repairing the house!The people in Yingtianfu responded honestly, looking at Kuang Jian one after another, coaxing Kuang to catch the head and make amends to the killer. .
Sha Xiangyue was a little embarrassed, and barely finished a bowl, thinking that tonight's interaction with Kuang Jian would end here, who knew that he underestimated the loyal and slippery people like Ying Tianfu, after the banquet, the fourth master Cheng Dabin came to toast him first, and since the third bowl, he didn't know who came up with the idea, so he sent someone to toast to him, thanked him, and then asked Kuang Jian to drink for him.
Killing Xiangyue: ...?
Kuang Jian didn't say anything, she poured out a bowl of wine with a calm face, and held the cup to drink for him.
Killing Xiangyue: ...? !
Seeing that it was so easy, the guards let go, and suddenly booed and applauded, then got up one after another, and lined up beside Sha Xiangyue in unison.
Sha Xiangyue:? ? ?
The guards are very experienced and know how to persuade people to drink is the most effective. What kind of little killer works day and night, and Kuang catcher hides and does not do a job, he should be punished!Fourth Master had dinner with Master Xiaosha several times, but Catcher Kuang didn't show his face, he should be punished!Master Xiaosha is inconvenient to do things with one hand, and Catcher Kuang didn't even say to help!It should be punished, the last cup was replaced, and this cup should be replaced too, Kuang catches a lot of money, this bowl is not bad...
Sha Xiangyue was dumbfounded. Originally, Kuang Jian had little to do with this matter, but she was tied up with her endlessly.The fourth master didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, looked at Sha Xiangyue's expression, and kept helping Kuang Jian to pour wine. Kuang Jian was threatened by various names so that he could only eat one bowl, and when it was twenty bowls, Sha Xiangyue finally couldn't help but said: "Don't let him drink, he is not good at drinking, what should he do at night when he is drunk?"
Immediately, the crowd let out a burst of unexplained laughter, and began to say that Master Killer felt distressed!
"Master Kill, let us catch Kuang to drink, he is good at drinking, he can't drink it down!"
"That's right, that's right, Catcher Kuang has a few bowls! If you get drunk, you can get drunk, and there's no one to take care of you!"
This group of people has been fighting for seedlings, and it is rare that there are only a few honest people left. Qian Jin, wearing a gray cap with a big tongue and blushing face, said to Sha Xiangyue honestly, "Don't worry, Master Kill." Well, Kuang Tou is born not drunk, we all know this, last winter Yingtian Mansion's more than 100 officers took turns toasting him wine, and he caught a thief on the way home after the bureau broke up."
The policemen all agreed, loudly saying that Kuang Tou is a liar!Every time they pretended to be drunk, if it wasn't for that time, they wouldn't know that there are so many Kuangtou!
The atmosphere of the crowd suddenly reached its highest point, and all the subordinates who suffered from it were filled with righteous indignation, one by one, they stepped forward and said that they must have a cup of Kuangtou today, otherwise this matter would never end, only Sha Xiangyue listened, and was stunned for a moment up...
Another glass of wine was lifted boldly and roughly.
Sha Xiangyue opened her eyes wide and looked at Kuang Jian, only one table away, Kuang Jian didn't dare to look at him, her eyes dodged in a panic——
The hands that received the wine trembled for a moment, but Kuang Jian concealed it very well. He took a deep breath and dried it up. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he turned over the wine bowl and opened it up to everyone. He apologized: "Everyone go eat meat first, I won't run away, but if you don't eat meat, you will burn!"
The fourth master was also afraid that his subordinates would share Kuang Jian's food with this momentum, so he immediately got up to help smooth things over, and then got up and went to other tables in a dignified manner. Kuang Jian coughed lightly and nervously licked his own lips, but this time he didn't dodge any more, turned his head, and looked at Sha Xiangyue——
Sha Xiangyue's eyes suddenly turned red, she smiled wryly, and said softly, "...you lied to me."
Is Kuang Jian drunk...
Sha Xiangyue suddenly found that he had made many mistakes. He kept worrying about how much Kuang Jian remembered that night, and told himself countless times that Kuang Jian just drank too much and could not remember. Even if he remembers someone, he won't admit it. Don't take yourself too seriously.But now that everything was unfolded, he suddenly realized that it was not that Kuang Jian didn't remember, he remembered everything that happened that night, and even, it was something he did while awake.
Numerous details whistled and replayed in Sha Xiangyue's mind, Kuang Jian's movements and demeanor at that time, he was so tall that he pressed her shoulders in the sedan chair, and hung on her body tightly against her on the way home, He even picked himself up, fell on the bed, pulled his hem and pressed down hard under the quilt... All his actions that night were full of desire...
Sha Xiangyue's throat suddenly felt sore, and it was suddenly hard to imagine such a thing.He always thought that there was someone in Kuang Jian's heart that he couldn't let go of, so that day he mistook himself for someone else and did that set of Meng Lang's behavior. He kept telling himself not to care, but such a happy thing, over and over again It became an extremely painful memory in his heart, because he felt that he had seen Kuang Jian's real emotional appearance, knew how he treated his sweetheart, knew how hot, impulsive, and passionate he could be, so in countless sober During the daytime, Kuang Jian's indifference, suspicion, alienation, and defense were like knives one after another, constantly reminding himself that he had no feelings for him at all...
But if he was sober at that time, he was sober at that time...
Sha Xiangyue's voice trembled, and in the noisy background, he asked calmly, "You don't want to explain?"
Kuang Jian didn't dodge, he looked into Sha Xiangyue's eyes, his heart beat wildly, and he answered him clearly, apologetically, and frankly: "I wasn't drunk that day. I remember all of that."
Jiang Xingzheng's drinking capacity did not make him drunk at all. He just felt very uncomfortable that day. Seeing Jiang Xingzheng collapsed, he also fell on the table and did not want to move. He wanted to wait for Sha Xiangyue to pick him up.
Sha Xiangyue didn't feel it herself, but he was so gentle that day. Kuang Jian never knew that Sha Xiangyue could be so gentle. Seeing him drunk, she carried him down the stairs and into the sedan chair with great difficulty, refusing to use her hands Others, afraid that he would be sad, kept letting him rest on their shoulders, stroked his back, and whispered all the way into his ears.When he was sober, Sha Xiangyue was like a knife that would cut his hands no matter how he held it. Only when he was sick, drunk, and lost his mind would he show his tenderness.
Kuang Jian still can't tell what he was thinking that night. He just had a thought, walked to the door of the house, bent down, picked him up, and threw him on the bed. He was waiting for Sha Xiangyue to slap him suddenly, or Kicking him away fiercely, and even Sha Xiangyue took out a knife to chop him off when he was enraged, Kuang Jian would not be surprised, but Sha Xiangyue didn't, his resistance was so weak that it almost didn't exist, at the beginning After being stunned, Sha Xiangyue lay under him, called him "Ah Jian" in a low voice, and then undressed...
Kuang Jian was really dumbfounded at that moment, he always thought that he was a wishful thinking beggar, Sha Xiangyue's response made him feel that he was going to die of thirst one moment, and suddenly sat in the forest water and sweet spring the next moment, but this Everything happened too fast, and he couldn't get off immediately—his behavior was too despicable, if he stopped, he couldn't explain this behavior, if he couldn't stop, with the momentum of the two of them, it would be unclear if they were together What's more, he couldn't think too much at the time, Sha Xiangyue gasped and screamed hard, obviously she was emotionally moved by him, Kuang Jian was dizzy and self-inflicted, and she was dealing with it with her burned-out brain...
On the floor table, Sha Xiangyue was so angry that she couldn't speak, she couldn't imagine that she could still have such a thing.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and asked coldly, "Who is Bao Deng?"
He didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to ask this, he wanted to confirm whether the name that made him hate it over and over again really existed or was fabricated.
Kuang Jian's eyes flickered for a moment, and just about to speak, Yu Daijiao, who had been eavesdropping for an untold amount of time, suddenly jumped up!
"Treasure Lantern?! I know who it is!"
His darting startled Sha Xiangyue, coupled with his loud voice, the two of them, who were not attracting attention at first, immediately attracted countless eyes.
Yu Daijiao shouted: "I saw the paintings he painted in the value room of Kuang Butou, and they were secretly hidden portraits! Kuang Butou, you have to explain it to Master Killer!"
Sha Xiangyue's heart skipped a beat, her face didn't move, but her heart looked like someone had thrown a basin of ice water violently.
He looked at Kuang Jian, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "So there really is someone like him."
Kuang Jian's complexion changed slightly, she wanted to catch the little girl and tell her to shut up, but Yu Daijiao winked at him, and then walked towards him to check the room. Immediately lead someone to stop Kuang Jian, turned his head and gave Yu Daijiao a frenzied wink: "Jiaojiao! Go get it!"
These two people were really afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and the guards would make noises if they understood or not. After a while, Yu Daijiao ran out with the painting in her arms, shouting as she ran, as if she wanted to complain to Sha Xiangyue : "Kuang catcher's painting is different from his painting of wanted criminals, and I don't know how long he has been secretly hiding things!" As he spoke, he gesticulated towards Kuang Jian triumphantly, with a look of "You have today too" The expression on his face: "Ying Tianfu is not the one who investigates the case. Did you see it? This is the ironclad evidence!"
Yu Daijiao is arrogant and difficult to deal with, and Kuang Jian can't take her, so she can only let the little girl run to Sha Xiangyue excitedly, and encourage him to watch it together. Nai said: "What do I see for his sweetheart?" But in the end, he couldn't bear the jade belt's coquettishness, so he had no choice but to glance at the painting, and then his pupils narrowed slightly——
Yudaijiao exclaimed excitedly: "Look! It's an ironclad proof! ... The charm of this painting is really wonderful. The painter has never been easy to get the rhyme, and it is better than Kuang Catcher's painting of a wanted criminal who doesn't know how to brushwork." How much!"
Yu Daijiao was already proficient in calligraphy and painting. Hearing what she said, a group of curious servants approached him meaningfully. After seeing it clearly, they all exclaimed and looked at Sha Xiangyue with subtle expressions——
On the scroll, I saw a person with a long face, a narrow nose bridge, no frontal face, only a profile - but a profile is enough.
Sha Xiangyue's eyes became hot, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, he looked up at Kuang Jian——
Just like what Yu Daijiao said, the charm of the person in the painting is so good that you can tell who it is without having to draw a straight face. Holding a fish food box, the illuminated fingers are slender and distinct, and the fish food and sunlight are rustling down on his fingertips.
Kuang Jian drew him.
That was the first meeting, the day when Kuang Jian met him.
Four lines of small characters are inscribed on the corner of the painting:
The precious lantern of the Zifu Immortal,
The cloud slurry freezes when it is not drunk.
How the snow and the moon make the night,
It is even on the twelfth floor of Yaotai.
