dead in winter

==============

Wen Shu looked outside and said softly, "Winter will be over soon."

Qing Zhu had just returned from collecting the dewdrops on the plum tree, and while patting the snowflakes on her body, she raised her cold and red face and said, "It's still early, my lord, why it will take another month and a half"

Wen Shu put the travel notes in his hand on the table, stepped forward and raised his hand to take the jade pot in his hand naturally, and poured the clean dew with the fragrance of plum blossoms into the pot simmering on the stove outside.

"It's not too early, soon." Wen Shu chuckled, with a faint smile on his brows and eyes

Qingzhu rubbed his head and smiled, Wen Shu glanced at him, stepped forward and rubbed his head, "What are you laughing at?"

"Young master has never smiled so relaxedly, Qingzhu is happy"

Wen Shu froze his body, and glanced at his wrist inexplicably. There was an emerald-colored jade bracelet on his white wrist. It was brought to him by the man himself when he was absurd last night. It is said that it has the effect of nourishing the body and mind.

Wen Shu played back the beautiful picture of last night in his mind, and couldn't help but coughed in a low voice. When he let go, his pale hand was covered with dark blood. Wen Shu felt his throat a little itchy, and calmly moved Hands hidden in sleeves.

Turning around, he poured the boiled water into the teapot and made the tea. A curl of white mist rose up, gradually blurring Wen Shu's peaceful eyes...

----------

"woke up?"

When He Ying opened her eyes, her neck felt as if it was about to break, and there was a bone-piercing pain. A soft female voice came from her ear, and she opened her mouth.

He Ying looked sideways with difficulty, and the woman in a water-green palace dress was staring at her with a smile

He Ying opened her mouth with horror on her face, opened and closed her mouth a few times but couldn't speak

"I know what you want to say." Ming Fan smiled, "But you don't have to worry, I won't make things difficult for you, all you have to do is follow my plan step by step."

In the basement as bright as day, Ming Fan's smile was extremely gentle, but He Ying could clearly see the indifference in her eyes, which was completely different from the bright smile on her face.

"Uh...uh!" He Ying struggled and tried to twist her body, but sadly found that she couldn't move her body, her head was fixed on the couch, and her body didn't seem to be her own.

"Don't move, I don't guarantee what will happen to the unborn child in your womb." Ming Fan continued laughing

Panic appeared in He Ying's wide-open eyes, "Ah! Ah!"

"Ah, let me guess who this child belongs to? Sister Wangfei" Ming Fan glanced at the woman's suddenly terrified expression, and covered his mouth knowingly

"Could it be that this child was conceived by you and an outsider in private?" Ming Fan squinted his eyes, not acting, and said in a cold voice, Ming Fan's eyeballs swelled, protruding out of their sockets abruptly, turning around in horror, A shapeless sentence protrudes from the mouth

"Let... let go..., please, please, save..." He Ying said with difficulty

"You son of a bitch, did you think you loved King Jing so much? So it was just pretending." Ming Fan changed his face and said contemptuously, "Then this is no longer a threat. After your father was beheaded, I thought you were the child in your belly." It can come in handy, now it seems that this child is also a wild child, then you are useless, sister Wangfei" Ming Fan walked around her and said coldly

He Ying looked at Ming Fan in horror, a small vein protruded from her bruised neck, she held back the panic and fear in her body, and tremblingly said, "There is... useful... evidence, I... I... know... corruption..."

Ming Fan jumped for joy in his heart, and couldn't help thinking that such a big piece of information had been revealed unintentionally, and suspicion appeared on his face, "Is what you said true?"

He Ying blinked slowly, and looked at Ming Fan impatiently, with anxiety and pleading in her bright eyes

"Okay, then you follow me now!" Ming Fan untied the acupuncture points on her body, and when He Ying wanted to move, he whispered to her ear, "Oh, yes, sister Wangfei, I'll give you a massage too." It's poisoned, if you don't cooperate well, it will be a dead body and two lives."

He Ying closed her eyes, feeling terrified in her heart, raised her hand to touch her slightly curved belly, and nodded silently, Ming Fan was satisfied when she saw that she was savvy

----------

"Master, Xu Tuo has recruited!" Ming Lu entered the cabin through the window, knelt down with a happy expression on his face, Mingyue at the side glanced at him, no emotion could be seen on his face covered by the black veil

Wen Shuojing glanced at him coldly, Ming Lu raised his head and looked back, a simple and honest face stared at Wen Shuojing in a daze, the two looked at each other silently for a moment, Ming Lu's face gradually turned red, Scratching his head at a loss, he said, "Master, what are you doing looking at Ming Lu like this?"

After speaking, he looked at Mingyue, who was kneeling and making tea, as if asking for help.

Mingyue twitched the corner of her mouth, and said coldly, "Master asked you to say, what did Xu Tuo say!"

Wen Shuojing lowered his head to hold the white piece, and lightly pressed one down. The flag collided with the chessboard and made a clear and crisp sound, which was very pleasant to hear. Wen Shuojing played the game on his own, without giving Minglu alms.

Ming Lu got stuck for a while, and muttered, let me just say it, see what I do, I feel very embarrassed

As soon as Mingyue lifted her skirt, a poisoned scimitar was pressed against Minglu's neck. Mingyue said coldly, "Slandering the master, you should be punished!" We are about to fight in this cabin, the surge of internal force makes the cabin tremble slightly, Wen Shuojing frowned

Mingyue glanced at Wen Shuojing, then quickly turned around and knelt down, "This subordinate has neglected his duties, please punish him!" After finishing speaking, she glanced at Ming Lu next to her with a murderous expression.

Wen Shuojing held another flag, raised his eyebrows like distant mountains, and said lightly, "Well, copy the "Tao Te Ching" ten times, and hand it to me in three days."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ming Lu coolly, and Ming Lu immediately became nervous, "After this matter is over, I will copy the "Tao Te Ching" twenty times, and I will go to the punishment hall to be punished."

After the two bowed their heads and said yes, Wen Shuojing raised his head and glanced at Ming Lu again.

Ming Lu bowed his head immediately and said, "Xu Tuo said that he has his own books of corruption and bribery, and he has swallowed a lot of relief food in the past few years, especially the one five years ago, which directly caused the emperor's anger to burn to the general's mansion. In exile, Mingshu has already gone to fetch those books, but there is nothing else to say, and after cross-examination by his subordinates several times, he is convinced that what Xu Tuo said is true."

Xu Tuo became King Jing's henchman five years ago. All his mother's family moved into Yanzhou overnight, and King Jing believed in him and gave him great support. So in less than a year, Xu Tuo has become a big celebrity in front of King Jing. , the object of mutual fawning among officials of all sizes in Yanzhou;

But he is also a Royal Doctor personally appointed by the emperor, who is in charge of guarding Yanzhou, and is also a procuratorate. It is understandable if King Jing does not believe him, so Xu Tuo must have something about King Jing in his hands to make Wen Renling like this. Trust him, even if this trust is for outsiders to see, that is enough

So it stands to reason that there should be a lot of clues to King Jing's treason in his hand, but they are all a few envelopes of corruption and bribery by himself, which seems to be deliberately done by someone.

Wen Shuojing's face was a little calm, and his eyes were deep in thought.

Maybe there is more than one person in the dark

But who is it?Figures flashed across Wen Shuojing's mind, denying again and again

"See if the evidence is true. After confirming it is true, hand over the evidence to Ming Fan and ask her to keep it, and then let Ying Er change into Xu Tuo's appearance, Xu Tuo himself." Wen Shuojing lowered his head and buckled a button on the chessboard sunspot

"Secretly sent back to Beijing"

After Ming Lu took the order to leave, Wen Shuojing lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his brows were light, he raised his hand, and reassembled the chess.

------------

Wen Shu squatted on the ground, touched the snow lightly, the white snow quickly melted in his hands, and then flowed to the ground, Wen Shu's hands turned blue and white, the heat in his body was taken away by the snow, leaving only a A cold and godless body

"Everything is ready..." Wen Shu said softly, "If it succeeds... so... I will feel at ease."

"Son, son! What are you muttering about?" Qing Zhu came in with a plate of fresh and tender peaches, and the crystal clear peach flesh was neatly placed on the small plate, looking delicate

"It's nothing." Wen Shu smiled, wiped off the snow on his hands with a handkerchief, a look of indifference appeared on his face, and after turning around, he showed a smile again

"Peaches? Mother sent them?" Wen Shu entered the pavilion. The fire in the pavilion was warm, and the surrounding area was covered. A small piece was exposed to light. Wen Shu picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth.

The incomparably sweet peach flesh exploded in the mouth, and the fresh and juicy peach liquid flowed down the throat, which was very sticky. Wen Shu squinted his eyes comfortably, "It's delicious."

"It was sent by Mrs. Wen's order. Yesterday, Mrs. entered the genealogy. She was happy but couldn't come here, so she sent her servant girl to send it over. Of course, Mrs. Wen also told Qing Zhu not to eat too much a day!" Snatching Wen Shu's peach with only two petals left, he said angrily

"This peach is delicious, but it's too cold. My son's body is just right, so don't be greedy! If you really want to eat it, Qingzhu will make peach soup for you to eat!" Qingzhu walked out of the pavilion with the remaining peaches , the sound spread farther and farther

……

Wen Shu laughed silently, and coughed again, as if a big stone was pressing on his chest, he was so pressed that he couldn't breathe, a mouthful of blood gushed into his throat, Wen Shu closed his eyes, and suppressed the pain in his chest Dull, he took a sip of herbal tea, and the inkstone came in from the outside lightly, wearing a blue-gray servant robe, with a delicate face, Wen Shu raised his eyes to look at him, and the other party immediately knelt down in horror

"My lord, the little one didn't peek on purpose, the little one just didn't intend to..." Cold sweat rolled down Yantai's face, and he looked at the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise his head. He felt that the youthful aura at this time was far stronger than Wen Shuojing Much stronger, blame him for being mistaken, right now the young man is the one who hides the deepest

"Get up, you just go back to the ancestral house to serve you, don't come here again," Wen Shu said gently

Yantai raised his head in disbelief, his face became more and more frightened, "Master... please forgive Yantai, Yantai will never dare again!" Even if a servant abandoned by his master is sent to a house, his fate will not be so good. Knowing this, I gritted my teeth and begged Wen Shu for forgiveness

It's a pity, Wen Shu lowered his eyes, with thick eyelashes, and said gently with a pale face, "Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

The inkstone immediately kowtowed, and there was a crisp impact sound, and soon the ground was stained with blood, but everything was self-evident

"I gave you a chance, but it's a pity you don't want it." Wen Shu sighed, "It's really distressing."

"Then go where you should go," Wen Shu said with deep eyes
