I was already drunk, and because I was sad to see the "ghost" of "Miss Kong", I cried myself to sleep at first. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I kept wandering around the yard, hoping to find some clues.
The result was nothing.
When I returned to the house, I felt no sleepiness at all. I stared at the curtain above my head until dawn. I was thinking about Miss Kong and then Sun Ji's actions.
When the first ray of sunlight fell on his face, his warm tears flowed down again.
Sister Wan'er is really dead.
He knew clearly that Miss Kong Da passed away, but he did not see the body. He was still lucky, thinking that he might see her again one day.
After last night, he discovered to his horror that those were all his unfounded delusions.
Qin Gao walked in hurriedly. Mr. Song and Zhao Luoyang in the room seemed to be startled, and they recovered after a moment.
The three people's eyes met, and Qin Gao didn't know where to start.
It was Mr. Song who said first: "Why are you here?"
Qin Gao's lips twitched and he was speechless for a moment. When he came to his senses, Zhao Luoyang had already brought a chair and asked him to sit down.
Qin Gao sat on the chair blankly.
Mr. Song frowned slightly: "What's going on? Are you out of your mind?" His tone became worse and worse, as if he was about to lose his temper.
"Sir," Zhao Luoyang said, "is this the uncle of the Qin family?"
Mr. Song responded through his nose, Zhao Luoyang saluted Qin Gao, and then his clear eyes fell on Qin Gao's face again.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Uncle Qin family, has something happened to you?"
A simple greeting somehow made Qin Gao feel even more sour. He said in a hoarse voice: "No...no..."
Zhao Luoyang didn't care about that. He turned around and poured a cup of hot tea for Qin Gao and sent it to Qin Gao: "Uncle of the Qin family, do you have something to talk to sir? Drink some water and speak slowly."
Qin Gao looked at the steaming cup of tea with a bitter taste in his mouth.
However, Mr. Song said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Don't delay me in training my apprentice."
"Sir," Zhao Luoyang spoke for Qin Gao, "don't be anxious...let the Qin family take a moment."
The girl's gentle voice made Qin Gao slowly calm down. He suddenly entered the room and disturbed Mr. Song to talk to his disciples. He shouldn't have spoken, but after entering the door, he didn't know where to start.
When he was at a loss, he heard the girl saying in Mr. Song's ear: "The uncle of the Qin family may have something to do with you. He looks very sad."
The word "sad" fell in Qin Gao's ears, and Qin Gao's heart began to ache as if it were drowned in tears, and his nose also became sore.
"Uncle of the Qin family, if you have any difficulties, please discuss it with your husband. He is very powerful. We are grateful to have him along the way, otherwise we would not be able to get here."
"My husband often says that when you are young, you still have a long way to go. You can overcome any difficulties you encounter before it is too late."
Qin Gao picked up the tea, the steaming water vapor smeared his eyes, and his hands were shaking.
At such a young age...it's still too late?
Is it too late? Sister Wan'er just got her haircut, but she is already gone.
That's too late.
Qin Gao couldn't bear it anymore, his tears kept falling down and fell into the clear tea.
He couldn't hold back his crying anymore. He was like a child, huddled there, holding a cup of tea and crying.
"You..." Mr. Song was angry and wanted to say something, but he could only stamp his feet and turn away from Qin Gao.
Qin Gao still cried non-stop.
Zhao Luoyang closed the door and whispered: "Uncle Qin, please cry. No one will hear me, and neither my husband nor I will tell anyone."
In the past, he did not dare to cry loudly, because as long as he did this, he would be treated coldly by his family, as if he was looking at a monster.
After crying for a while, the tightness in my chest seemed to have dissipated, but the wound in my heart seemed to be even bigger, unable to be comforted or healed.
Zhao Luoyang stood aside, thinking whether he went too far by pretending to be Miss Kong yesterday.
"Don't go," Shi Jiu's voice came from his mind, "let him get a chance to vent, and then he can cheer up and do things."
Zhao Luoyang said: "Really?"
Shi Jiu Zhan Jin Jietie: "The system's prediction is like this."
Zhao Luoyang was a little suspicious. Shi Jiu had never said that the system had such a function, but she believed in the system and didn't think much about it.
Zhao Luoyang didn't move, and Shi Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Gao is very fragile now, and he doesn't want Zhao Luoyang to give Qin Gao any help at this time, so as to... avoid trouble.
Anyway, I just can’t persuade Qin Gao.
Qin Gao's crying gradually subsided. He raised his red eyes with firmness in his eyes. He first looked at Mr. Song, and then at Zhao Luoyang.
"This girl..."
Mr. Song hummed and said, "Her surname is Zhao."
Qin Gao nodded and said, "Girl of the Zhao family, I have something to ask you."
Zhao Luoyang said: "I helped Mr. Zheng at the racecourse, and he passed me some medical books."
It is already unusual for a doctor to pass on medical books.
Qin Gao pursed his lips and said, "I heard that many people go to Mr. Zheng Yi for medical treatment."
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "Yes."
"Then you," Qin Gao thought for a moment and said, "do you know that there is a person named Sui?"
Qin Gao was originally looking at Zhao Luoyang. When he finished saying "people with the surname Sui", he obviously noticed that the Zhao girl's expression changed.
The Zhao girl did not answer him immediately, but turned to look at Mr. Song.
Mr. Song didn't know what was going on. He thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "I wonder if the person named Sui mentioned by the Qin family is the same person I met outside Mr. Zheng's house yesterday."
"Last night I also met a businessman named Sui who wanted to bribe me and asked me to persuade Mr. Zheng to treat her mules and horses at home. I thought she had ulterior motives, so I used a trick to send her away and reminded her
Mr. Zheng must be careful."
"Mr. Zheng said that many merchants have unknown origins and do not know what they are buying and selling. When they come to ask for help, ordinary gentlemen will not agree."
Qin Gao's hands trembled involuntarily.
Now he confirmed that what sister Wan'er said was true. There was a merchant named Sui who approached Zheng Yi. He also learned from the Zhao girl that the merchant named Sui had evil intentions.
Everything coincides with each other and cannot be a coincidence.
Qin Gao believed that what happened last night really happened and was not his delusion.
Qin Gao looked at Zhao Luoyang and said, "What else did the merchant named Sui say? What else do you know?"
Zhao Luoyang shook his head, but after thinking for a moment, he said: "It seems that their family has a village outside the city, because she ordered someone to pull a carriage and take Mr. Zheng outside the city."
"And..." Zhao Luoyang looked at Qin Gao, "The merchant named Sui that Uncle Qin mentioned, is she a woman?"
Qin Gao's blood suddenly surged to the top of his head.
A woman is...a woman disguised as a man.
"That's right, that's right," Qin Gao murmured, "It's all true, it's true. This time I will definitely... I will definitely..."
Qin Gao did not continue.
Zhao Luoyang wanted to ask something else. Mr. Song lowered his face and told Zhao Luoyang: "You go out first. You are not allowed to come in unless I call you."
Zhao Luoyang didn't know what was going on.
Mr. Song said: "Go out."
Seeing that Mr. Song was angry, Zhao Luoyang did not dare to neglect and hurriedly got up and walked out of the house.
After the door was closed and there was no one else in the room, Mr. Song stood up and stared at Qin Gao condescendingly: "What are you going to do? Why are you asking my disciple these things?"
Qin Gao pursed his lips. He didn't want to tell the truth and was thinking about how to deal with it. Mr. Song snorted coldly: "You are just like your father. You only dare to play some tricks in secret and don't dare to do real things openly, so I said
His official position was in vain, and the imperial court gave him a salary to help the refugees."
"Since you don't say anything, you don't have to make up lies to deceive me. I will tell my disciples not to say anything to you again, so as not to be taken advantage of by you. If something happens in the future, you will be pushed out to take the blame. Maybe in the end
Disaster is coming."
"Don't come to my place again."
When Qin Gao heard what Mr. Song said, his cheeks felt burning pain, as if he had been slapped in public.
That's right, his father was such a person. He didn't dare to do anything. Even if he knew what Sun Ji had done, he pretended not to see it.
Such an official...
What kind of good official serves the country and the people?
Qin Gao's voice was hard: "Mr. Song, please don't be angry. I'm just... afraid that you will be implicated if you find out about this."
Mr. Song stared at Qin Gao carefully, as if he wanted to see through him.
"What are you going to do behind your father's back?" Mr. Song asked, "Is it to avenge the people who were captured and made military households?"
Qin Gao didn't expect that Mr. Song would think of this. Although it was different from his original intention, the results were similar, both against Sun Ji.
Qin Gao said: "I...I..."
Mr. Song looked at Qin Gao, suddenly raised his beard, and the anger on his face actually dissipated a lot: "I didn't expect that the Qin family has some bloody children."
"Tell me, what do you want to do? I'm old, and my son's family has gone to such a far away place. Now there are no one around me, and I'm not afraid of being involved. Maybe I can listen to your idea. Is it feasible? Who are you?
To do something big, it’s still just a fantasy.”
Zhao Luoyang was sitting in the yard, basking in the sun. She couldn't hear the voices in the room, but seeing that Qin Gao hadn't come out yet, he must have revealed something about his plan to deal with Sun Ji to his husband.
These words were spoken by "Miss Kong" and then spread by Qin Gao. They can be considered to have a source. If asked in the future, they will be related to ghosts and no one will think of her.

Zhao Luoyang couldn't help but feel happy.
So far, everything is going smoothly.
When Zhao Luoyang was happy, he didn't know that Nie Shuang had already entered Minzhou and was looking for her whereabouts.
Nie Shuang first went to find a small inn outside the city, but found no trace of Zhao Xueli's dozen or so families. Could it be that he had become so reduced that he couldn't even afford to stay in an inn?
