I was reborn with amnesia and was picked up by Lao Gong

"The next thing is the same as you know."

Feng Shu lowered his head, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands, not daring to look at Xia Yun.

Xiayun was still immersed in the surprise of knowing the truth, and didn't care about replying to the other party, just meditating.

In the final analysis, this murder involving more than a hundred lives was actually caused by this child?

No, if you really want to say it, the cause and effect are too complicated...

Xiayun thought for a while, and decided to start with the murder case of the Su family.He stood up, patted Feng Shu on the head, and said:

"I'm leaving, you can take a good rest here."

"No, wait..."

Hearing this, Feng Shu called in a low voice, but after receiving Xia Yun's questioning eyes, he just lowered his eyes and shook his head with a smile on his face.

"fine."

He smiled clearly, but Xia Yun couldn't help but look away from that smiling face similar to someone else's.

"Take a good rest, I will see you again later."

After realizing that she had lost her composure, Xiayun coughed slightly in embarrassment, dropped those words, and walked out of Liyang Hall.

He felt a little bored, and his steps were not in a hurry. It was only when he met a few patrolling guards on the road that he realized that he had forgotten to cover his face.

"Who are you... um."

Xiayun secretly blamed herself for being careless, immediately disappeared, and then snapped her fingers to erase the memories of several people.

He saw the front of the Disobedience Hall from a distance, and walked straight past the dull-eyed guards towards the pale palace.

At this time, it was already bright, and the Hall of Disobedience was opened.In order to investigate the case of Hualin's extermination, Xu Shi found that the Disobedience Hall was deserted, and only two servants were left guarding the hall, while the rest of the people, including the chess judge, were all gone.

Xiayun walked around inside and outside the hall, cast a spell on the guard of Gu Dian casually, and then stepped into the inner hall openly.

He searched according to the sequence on the cabinet, and found the case of Su's theft in a short while.

"The thieves Zhang Si, Meng Shan, and Li Yi entered Su's house while drunk and robbed them. Su Hui and Su Xu found out and murdered them.

After Zhang Sijiu woke up and wanted to surrender, he was shot dead by his accomplices in the courtyard of the Su family.After being arrested, Meng and Li confessed their crimes, and they were brought to justice on the Day of Waking of Zhes this month. "

These few words contained five lost lives.

Looking at the messy fingerprints and seals on the case book, Xia Yun couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

He searched again, and learned that all the stolen property of the Su family had been burned, and the orphan of the Su family had been adopted by a well-meaning local family and other follow-ups;

Although the original palm interview questioned the motive of the thieves to burn the stolen objects, after several investigations, it was nothing.

If the child's words are true, then the case of the Su family has nothing to do with Hua Lan.

He didn't know whether he was the mastermind of this case, and committed the crime together with those three people, or if the three people were just innocently involved, under the threat of Hua Lan, they took the blame.

Now that Hua Lan is dead, the world has no way of knowing what the truth is.

But if this is the truth, Hua Lan can persuade Meng and Li to kill the traitor Zhang Si, conceal the whereabouts of the stolen goods for him, and escape from the search;

Later, he adopted the orphan of the Su family and asked him to study the stolen items of the Su family, which shows that this person is treacherous and cunning, and he does everything he can.

Xiayun pondered for a moment, picked up the pen hanging on the case, briefly wrote down what she had gained today on the paper, and then sent it to the chess judge.

After finishing the work, he flicked his sleeves and put everything back in place, and when he passed by the guards of Gu Dian, he unraveled the spell and went to Liyang Hall.

After entering the inner room, Xia Yun caught a glimpse of the little figure sitting by the bed.Just as he was about to speak out, Feng Shu turned his head warily and met his eyes.

"Palace Master."

After seeing clearly who was coming, Feng Shu's expression immediately relaxed.He stood up, and after hesitating for a while, Zhao Xiayun bowed according to the rules in Washington.

"Ah."

Xiayun responded, glanced at the made quilt, but didn't ask why Feng Shu didn't take a good rest.

He looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes moved down from the thin shoulders, and landed on the slender legs that were trembling with cold.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Feng Shu lowered his eyes and shook his head: "Everything is at the discretion of the Palace Master."

Xia Yun said: "In this case, tomorrow you go to the Disobedience Hall to present your speech and make a pledge, and then leave the palace."

Feng Shu was stunned for a while, and said: "Leaving the palace? You won't punish me for my crime?"

Xia Yun said: "Why, have you committed any treacherous and evil deeds?"

Feng Shu's eyes widened in disbelief.He opened his mouth, opened and closed a few times silently, and then said: "I killed so many people, shouldn't I pay for my life?"

Looking at Feng Shu, Xiayun couldn't help but think of the day when she slaughtered Sulan.

At that time, he really wanted to kill those people to calm down the resentment and grievance in his heart.

Compared with himself, this child was just an unintentional mistake. After all, even if he didn't release the golden light barrier, judging by the ferocity of Mie Yan, everyone present would be doomed.

Xiayun didn't think she was a good person. After learning that Hualin's two patriarchs planned to murder her, her pity for them disappeared.

If you really want to say, Feng Shu's move can be regarded as saving his life.Although he is tired of living, it doesn't mean that he is willing to be murdered, and after death, he has to leave a skin for others to use.

Even though the Sulan law stipulates that "the murderer must pay for his life", everything in this world is not black or white.

The so-called laws are only established to restrain the masses.The irony is, didn't the person who established this law in the first place have blood on his hands, yet he still lived at ease for many years?

What this law should govern are people like Feng Yan and Hua Lan who treat other people's lives like nothing.Feng Shu didn't have many choices, but at the moment when Mieyan was raging, he chose to save those who were imprisoned, poisoned, or looked on with indifference, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xiayun made up her mind and said to the frail young man in front of her, "If you do good with your heart, you won't be rewarded even if you do good; if you do evil without intention, you won't be punished even if you are evil. The mistakes you committed were not intentional, and they are not crimes." Unforgivable. Missing you is just an unintentional mistake, so I will punish you to stay in the palace and work."

He didn't wait for Feng Shu to answer, and said again: "I don't keep anyone in Liyang Palace. If you are young, if you want to stay in the palace, you can work as a helper in the dining room, or ask the guards at the palace gate. They Still accept people."

"I……"

"If you don't want to stay, it's fine, I'll let the Hall of Disobedience erase the records related to you. From now on, you can work honestly with others, or steal and kidnap to make a living, but if it falls into the hands of the Palace of Disobedience, I will never forgive you again.”

Judging from Feng Shu's expression, he probably thinks Xia Yun is crazy.He was dumbfounded for a long time before holding back a sentence:

"Palace Master, have you always been so magnanimous?"

Generous?

Xiayun smiled softly and closed her eyes.

——It’s just my selfishness.

After that, Feng Shu followed Xiayun's suggestion and worked as a small helper in the dining room of Huoshe.

During this period, Xiayun observed the other party several times with magic power, and after confirming that he was not excluded or abused, he let him live on his own.

Out of selfishness, Xiayun falsified his memory and deleted the truth about the note after discussing it with the chess judge failed.

Without that memory, the search for the Hualin murder case returned to the original point.No matter how hard the chess judge tried, the case never made any progress, and even "alarmed" the palace master, who ordered the rest of the judges, officers and soldiers to assist the investigation of the Disobedience Palace.

Xiayun knew that this move was very wrong, but first of all, the Hualin murder case was all caused by the greed of the two families, and the people who caused the flames to wreak havoc had long been wiped out.

Secondly, he thought that with the passage of time, this sensational family extermination case should gradually be forgotten by the masses, and then return to calm—just like the robbery case of the Su family.

However, his thinking was still too naive.

Three months after the incident, the investigation of Disobedience Hall seemed to be stuck in a dead end, with no progress at all.

In order to solve the case, officials had to pay attention to any possibility.As a result, the people in the south of the city and even the whole city were questioned almost one by one, and even their homes were searched carefully, but still nothing was found.

Such actions by the officials undoubtedly aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of people.It was also at this time that the news that "Lin Shuo released flames and burned down the two Hualin houses" spread like wildfire. For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and chatter about the case could be heard in the streets and alleys.

According to the original intention of the chess judge, in the absence of witnesses and physical evidence, speculations related to the case should not be released at will.

But after all, the Hualin murder case caused a sensation in the whole city, and one of the guards slipped his tongue and made the inference of Disobedience Palace known.

Sure enough, shortly after the news spread, the folks seemed to have exploded, and they continued to question the officers, soldiers, and even the civil judge in private.

Some people think that the judges are negligent in controlling, allowing the Lin family to create flames;

Some pointed out that the disobedience hall was not good at doing things, and without evidence, they transferred the crime to the deceased.

"If it's true as the rumors say, are the judges disregarding the safety of the common people by allowing such a dangerous magic weapon to exist?"

"Hey, on this point, it's really hard to say, hard to say, whether the judges are really negligent in controlling, or are they deliberately turning a blind eye."

"Uncle Lin is an upright person, how could he do such things that harm others and benefit himself! The Hualin family has a long-standing reputation, could it be that the officials were jealous of seeing it, so they came up with the idea of ​​"clearly repairing the plank road, secretly hiding the old warehouse"!" "

"That's right, the judges couldn't find the prisoner, so they just wanted to be an empty-handed white wolf. Do you really think we are so easy to fool?"

These doubts are like termites gnawing on wood, bit by bit eroding people's confidence in those in power.

As the lord of Sulan City, Xiayun was hailed as a god by various rumors, and she was an unshakable existence in the hearts of the people;

And the four military envoys have been lurking in various countries outside the city for a long time, and the Shenlong has been ignored by the people—

After all, compared to birds nestled in nests, those standing on branches are much easier to aim at.

Ever since, those voices of doubt and opposition all pointed to the four literary judges of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

At the beginning, people still have some things that have nothing to do with them, and they only regard it as gossip for dinner.

However, when they discovered that crimes occurred frequently at night and their own interests were threatened, they couldn't sit still.

"I dare say that when the Hualin family was burned down, those adults who received their salaries were all huddled under the covers and sleeping soundly!

Tell me, what did these four sentences do?Recently, there are more and more nightclubs. Don't you realize that it is convenient to commit crimes at night, and you don't have to worry about alarming the officials? "

"That's right! My wife's shop was broken into the night before, but after reporting the crime yesterday, only two guards came to ask questions, and they said "lack of manpower". Isn't this a trick?Guess what happened? "

"Why, did you not find something?"

"Isn't that right! I saw a few servants eating noodles leisurely just now, but when I asked, the masters said they hadn't found the culprits yet, so I was so angry that I almost overturned the table—— You haven't solved this case yet, how dare you sit there and eat noodles? Really!"

There were more and more conversations like this, and later, it even triggered conflicts between the people and the guards.

That is to say, starting from this incident, the city residents no longer hide in hiding, but openly express their dissatisfaction with the Siwen sentence. Get in the way again and again.

It wasn't until this time that Xiayun realized the seriousness of the matter, but the result was already irreversible like a flood bursting its embankment.

Therefore, in the third year after the Hualin massacre, in order to quell public anger, Qi Juan voluntarily resigned from the position of Wen Judgment and Disobedience Hall's in charge of hearing, and stepped out of the city gate amidst the ridicule of the townspeople.

After serious discussions, the other three Wen judges also followed in the footsteps of the chess judges, and went out of the city to retire.

Xiayun once wanted to ask the judges to stay, and wanted to tell them that all this is not a problem, as long as they erase everyone's memory, they can change the current situation and turn the tide——

But when he saw the disheartened expressions of the judges, the words that he intended to retain were all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even utter a word.

How can it be so easy to recover from mistakes?

Even if he can really make the clothes seamless, even if he can even erase the memories of the judges, will the condemnation of himself that is screaming in his heart stop?

So, after sending away the four civil judges, Xiayun cheered up again after a hundred years.

He first recalled the four military envoys and asked them to stay in Sulan temporarily, then re-examined all the current systems, replaced those that were out of date, and added some new laws.

Seeing the rising crime rate in Sulan, Xiayun set up a night patrol team at the suggestion of the military envoy, and set up a curfew to strictly prohibit all activities at night.

Although the public has complained a lot about this, but for the sake of their own property and safety, they are still cooperative.

In order to listen to public opinions conveniently, Xiayun would go out of the palace incognito from time to time, and go to teahouses and noodle stalls that are crowded with people for a while. Occasionally, when encountering interesting topics, she would change into her appearance when she was with Ah Chi, so that she could continue to ask questions. ,inquire about.

In this way, time continues to pass, and the addition of curfew orders is a matter of later.

In the past three years, perhaps out of the desire to repay her kindness, Feng Shu would always come to Liyang Palace to see Xiayun by the reason of delivering meals.

In fact, in the past, the dining hall sent the meals directly, but Xiayun saw Feng Shu's sincere appearance, so she didn't refuse the other party's kindness.

As time passed, Feng Shu finally grew into the physique he should have at his age, and his stature also grew rapidly, his shoulders were almost at the same level as Xiayun.

In contrast, his facial features gradually stretched out. Anyone who saw him would praise him from the bottom of his heart: What a handsome young man!

Apart from appearance, Xia Yun found that Feng Shu was really smart and capable. Even though he didn't express anything, Feng Shu could keenly detect whether he liked a certain food or not, so he could improve on the meals he sent.

Not only that, Feng Shu seems to be doing well in the palace, getting along well with everyone.

Xiayun had seen him learning martial arts with the guards several times, or chatting with the guards in front of Zangshu Pavilion with a smile.

But as soon as he came in front of him, Feng Shu immediately became cautious, leaving only a respectful appearance.

Xiayun is used to keeping a distance from people, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, but every time she catches a glimpse of Feng Shu talking and laughing happily with others, she always feels a little uneasy in her heart - this feeling is like a puppy raised by herself, running away to other people It's like having fun on your knees.

However, when it was time to deliver the meal, he looked at Feng Shu's face that was more and more similar to Feng Yan, but he couldn't hold back any good words, let alone have a good conversation.

In this regard, he can only sulk himself, and then get angry at himself who is plainly sullen.

—Forget it, being good at communication is also a good thing.Feng Shu is so smart and capable, if he trains well, maybe he can take over his position in the future?

Xiayun thought so.Therefore, when Feng Shu came, he often gave guidance intentionally or unintentionally in the name of caring for his subordinates.

Regarding this, Feng Shu just listened silently, and occasionally asked some questions for Xia Yun to answer.

The author has something to say:

What Xiayun has experienced is destined to be more extreme in his thinking. In addition, he avoids contact with people and does not understand human nature enough, which led to the result that Si Wenjuan was forced to resign.

The story is narrated around the protagonist, but the thoughts and words of the protagonist are not necessarily correct.

From another perspective, there is no right or wrong in this world, only different positions.

In addition, to avoid excessive speculation by some judges, the story about Lin Shuo releasing the flames and perishing with the Hua family was indeed leaked from the Disobedience Palace, not the news released by Xuehua (Hua Yin).

This chapter explains the curfew, part of the law of Sulan, and the origin of the sentence "until the truth is not known, don't talk about people's right and wrong" in the code of servants. It can be regarded as a small hole.

The idea of ​​the curfew was inspired by the control order during the epidemic.As for the (feeling very far away) skeleton moth case, the big guys wear cloth strips to avoid inhaling poisonous phosphorus powder, does it have a sense of wearing a mask (laughs);

P/s: "If you do good with your heart, you will not be rewarded even if you are good; if you do evil without intention, you will not be punished even if you are evil." It comes from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? Kao Chenghuang", which means that good deeds with a purpose should not be rewarded.Conversely, those who do bad things unintentionally should not be punished.
