One, the incident started - under the Kyoto prefecture
"Have you found that person?" The first thing the Chief of the Yamen Palace, the Young Prince of Liang Palace, said when he saw Lu Qing was to ask about the whereabouts of that person, which really made Lu Qing a little bit at a loss.
Because he was at a loss, Lu Qing answered a little late, so Chu Cibian went with the flow and thought that because he spoke a little hastily, the other party did not hear clearly, so he told Lu Qing again what he said.
The question I asked when I first walked in.
Only then did Lu Qing remember the purpose of coming here, and said softly to Chu Ci: "The person Da Dusi was looking for was not found there."
Lu Qing recalled the anxiety and nervousness in Chu Ci's eyes when he spoke just now, and he began to wonder who the person Chu Ci was looking for could make a leader of the younger generation take him so seriously.
"Not found..." Chu Ci whispered and repeated what Lu Qing had just said, as if the light suddenly flickered in his dark eyes.
"If you haven't found it, there is still a chance."
When Lu Qing saw Chu Ci's expression changing again and again, he naturally became more curious about that person. So driven by curiosity, Lu Qing asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Who is the person Dadusi is looking for?"
"A friend." Chu Ci's expression was calm, but there was a lot of expression in his eyes that was not there just now. It was a look of expectation, as if he was looking forward to seeing someone traveling far away.
This day in the thirty-fifth year of the Dali calendar seemed a bit unusual to many people. Xu San came back from fetching water from Lane 47, East Street early in the morning. After filling up his water tank, he saw a woman
When Xu San came out of the house and saw the woman, he remembered the story he had just thought of there.
"Xiu'er, you don't know what I saw when I went to fetch water today."
Xu San put the empty bucket under the edge of the tank and was about to tell Xiu'er what he had just seen and heard. He had already foreseen Xiu'er's shocked expression and incomprehensible expression after hearing what he had done.
An air of confidence.
"Master, please come into the room first." Before Xu San could continue speaking, Xiu'er spoke first.
After Xu San heard the first three words in Xiu'er's words, he felt slightly uncomfortable. When those three words came out of Xiu'er's mouth, there were only two possibilities, either he had done something wrong, or he had encountered Xiu'er.
The child can no longer make decisions on his own.
I have been very honest these days and did not take money to gamble at Yingoufang. It was not my fault, so there was only one and only possibility left, something happened.
The shock and disbelief Xu San expected finally appeared, but these two expressions appeared on Xu San's own face.
"This, this, this..." Xu San was shocked by the scene in front of him and was speechless.
Xiuer made a silent gesture to Xu San at this time, and then said to him: "I found him at the firewood pile in our backyard. I originally wanted to grab firewood for cooking, but I saw this person. At that time
He's still breathing, so I can't just die without saving him." After Xiu'er said this, she didn't continue, but looked at the man lying on the bed covered in blood.
"Then you brought him back?" Xu San was a little confused now. The bloody man in front of him always felt familiar, but in his current state, he couldn't remember where he had seen this man before.
"If a person is not dead yet, you can't just ignore him. However, it is not convenient for me as a woman to treat his deep wounds. I just briefly treated the superficial wounds and then simply bandaged them."
Xu San finally understood the meaning of his woman's words. He was a woman and couldn't treat wounds, which meant that he was the only man here.
"I mean Xiu'er." Xu San suddenly fell silent. He thought of the mansion he saw when he went to fetch water, and what happened in that mansion. Then he looked at Qi Lianyu who was lying on the bed, and then
Then Xu San's still unintelligent mind thought of a possibility.
"It can't be such a coincidence," Xu San muttered.
Xiu'er saw that Xu San's expression suddenly became a little strange, and thought that she had made Xu San unhappy by asking him to treat this man's wounds.
"What's wrong with you? I just asked you to help treat his wounds, but why have you become a mother-in-law today? If you don't like it, stay away and I'll take care of it for him."
As she spoke, Xiu'er pushed Xu San away in front of her. This action obviously meant that she really intended to treat Qi Lianyu's wounds herself.
Xu San naturally knew his mother-in-law's temperament, and knew that she would do the same thing, so he hurriedly stopped her.
"I didn't say I won't do it. I just want to tell you something before I do it." So Xu San told Xiu'er what he saw at the entrance of Alley 47 on East Street and his guesses.
After listening to what Xu San said, Xiu'er was stunned for a long time, and then said slowly: "You mean... this person is from that house?"
"Probably." Xu San nodded in response.
"This dress..." Xiu'er looked at Qi Lianyu, who was still in a coma, "It should be the young master in that house. The one you mentioned is probably the illegitimate son of a nobleman on West Street?"
Xu San also imitated Xiu'er and looked at Qi Lianyu, but didn't seem to notice anything, and then said: "I have seen that young master before. I saw him a few times when I went to the water store to fetch water."
"Is it him?" Xiu'er asked quickly before Xu San could finish speaking.
Xu San took a closer look, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, his face is injured and I can't recognize him."
"Then..." Xiu'er was worried, frowning, and asked, "Master, what are you going to do?"
Xu San thought for a while, and then said to Xiu'er: "He's like this, it's obvious that he was visited by the nobleman's big house on West Street."
"But why?"
"what why?"
"Why did the nobleman on West Street kill him?"
Then Xu San's mind started to work again, and he seemed to have given a very reasonable explanation to Xiu'er's question.
"For property," Xu San looked at Xiu'er with an unquestionable look, "the noble people on West Street must have a lot of money, but if they die, who will the money be given to? Of course, to their descendants.
Well, you think who would be happy if so much money was suddenly shared by one more person, so it’s a matter of course.”
Xiu'er thought for a while and seemed to think that Xu San's words were not wrong, so she believed his reasons.
"Then... what should we do now?" Xiu'er asked the previous question again.
Xu San seemed to be struggling with this rather difficult question.
"How about we just pretend we didn't see him?"
"You said, leave him here alone?"
"Staying at home will always lead to trouble. If the noble family finds out that he is not dead, we will be in trouble."
Xiu'er knew that Xu San was telling the truth and also knew the disadvantages of leaving this person at home. However, Xiu'er would not cause trouble if she thought of leaving this person alone or throwing him on the street at night.
But there will always be a hurdle in my heart that I can't overcome.
When Xu San saw Xiu'er's hesitation, he guessed what she was thinking, and then said to her: "We are just ordinary people selling tofu on the East Street. We are not the heroes in the drama. We don't need to be merciful. We only need ourselves."
It would be nice to live in peace."
Xiu'er's brows furrowed even more tightly. She was struggling and making choices in her heart. She knew that her choice might affect a person's life.
Xu San was still talking about the truth, but when it reached Xiu'er's ears, it was like a book from heaven.
"The boss."
It was "the boss" again, Xu San secretly screamed, or he had already got the answer from her words.
