Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 90
He sued the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, Zhan Zhao of the Kaifeng Mansion, lost his virtue, raped Yao Meiren's younger sister, the second lady of the Yao family, Yao Manqing.

When it was already dark, Duanmucui finally came back.

When she saw Gongsun Ce, she was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Mr. Gongsun, I just went to the mansion."

Went to the mansion?

Gongsun Strategy thought about it, and immediately realized: "Are you going to see Miss Hongluan?"

She nodded, her face couldn't tell whether she was sad or relieved: "Hong Luan has...I brought her back."

While speaking, she stretched out her hand, and in her snow-white palm, there was a shiny black seed, a kapok seed.

Gongsun Ce looked at the flower seed, then turned his head to look at the flower bed, and suddenly felt blessed: "Your flower bed is..."

"Aunt Liu told you, right?" Duanmucui said, "Not all of them."

"Not all of them?" Gongsun Ce showed doubts in his eyes.

Duanmucui frowned slightly, as if thinking about what to say to make Gongsun Ce understand better, paused, and then said: "I went out for a while before, and I stayed there for a long time, and it was already late when I came back. When passing an alleyway..."

She couldn't find the right words to describe what she encountered, and her brows frowned even tighter: "Mr. Gongsun, although I lost my mana in the underworld, it doesn't seem to be the case. My perception of certain things always exceeds Many ordinary people..."

"Could it be that you met a ghost in that alleyway?"

To this day, Gongsun Ce talked about strange powers and chaotic gods, monsters and mountain spirits, and finally he was like picking up a pen and paper, without any surprise or fear.

"It's not a ghost, it's the three souls and six souls that have been broken up. In other words, even if you have become a ghost, your soul has been broken up by people with ulterior motives. It's in disarray, unable to reunite, and unable to reincarnate. Of course, it will not harm."

Gongsun Ce understood.

"I don't want to go into trouble to track down what happened before them. I just want to do a good deed, retrieve their soul fragments one by one, and feed their lives with seeds, so that they can rest here quietly and receive the essence of the sun and the moon." .When their souls are formed, send them to the ghost world of Fengdu, re-enter reincarnation, and be reincarnated as human beings."

"So, this flower bed is full of..." Gongsun Ce was a little startled.

Duanmucui nodded slightly.

The eyes of the two fell on the flower bed together.

There has been movement in this flower bed. All the seeds began to germinate after dark, and the roots and shoots broke through the soil and grew up in an instant.

Aunt Liu's description just now is not the same, this small soil holds far more than just flowers.He saw wild weeds, climbing vines, and even a golden rice stalk with hollow tassels.

It is an ordinary seed that conceives life. As for the aftermath, there will be thousands of differences, prosperity and prosperity, ascending to the palace or being trampled upon by others, but it is not what people could have expected at the time.

Duanmucui stretched out her hand, gently supported a peony that was about to fall, and sighed: "This one is too damaged, maybe it can't grow."

"Miss Duanmu, something happened to the guard Zhan."

"Ah?" Duanmucui withdrew her hand holding the peony tree.The peony lost its stability and swayed a few times, getting closer to the end.

"Something went wrong, what do you mean?"

In the darkness, on Gongsun Ce's clear face, there was a rare heavy look.

"What do you mean something happened?" Duanmucui asked again.

"Miss Duanmu, this matter is not trivial, you must calm down and listen to me."

"Is Zhan Zhao dead?" Duanmucui's voice trembled.

"Miss Duanmu, listen to me..."

"Gongsun Ce!" Duanmu Cui groaned, "I'm tired of talking, you old man. I asked you if Zhan Zhao is dead. If you die, you don't die. Why are you talking so much useless?"

My humble opinion is that this is indeed Gongsun Ce's fault.Mr. Gongsun may be used to conveying information to the sufferer on weekdays, and he likes to be tactful in everything, but Duanmucui was born in the army, and he pays attention to going straight to the subject. Whether it is good news or bad news, he must know it immediately, immediately, accurately and react immediately.Let's imagine that people here are in a hurry to ask if the siege has been captured, and you only need to answer "Siege, the vanguard" and it will be over.

But it was Master Gongsun who put on a sad expression first, and then spoke: "General, this matter is not trivial, you must calm down and listen to me..."

You still expect her to stay calm?Immediately drag it out and beat a hundred army sticks!
Fortunately, Gongsun Ce immediately figured out the way on her side: "Not dead."

"injured?"

"No."

"poisoned?"

"No."

"He's all right, isn't he?"

"Let's just say so."

Duanmucui let out a long breath, her legs softened, and she fell to sit on the edge of the flower bed.The arrogance just now seemed to be borrowed, and the creditor took away the principal and interest in an instant, and now even if he speaks loudly, he can't get angry.

She said softly: "As long as you are a good person, there is nothing that cannot be solved. Mr. Gongsun, please tell me."

Gongsun Ce's title changed from old man to Mr.

Gongsun Ce sighed and told about the affairs of Long County.Duanmucui listened quietly, she seemed to have not recovered from the previous shock.Gongsun Ce was worried that she wouldn't be able to accept this, but it seemed that as long as Zhan Zhaoren was well-behaved, Duanmucui's ability to accept it was quite strong.

Duanmucui waited until he had finished speaking before asking questions, this time he was a pretty good listener.

"I don't know how much Zhan Zhao can drink, but Zhan Zhao is usually a very prudent person, it is impossible for him to let himself get drunk, even if he is drunk, it is impossible to do such a thing."

Gongsun Ce nodded: "My lord and I also said the same."

"Did Zhan Zhao be framed by someone? Was it designed by someone?"

Gongsun Ce smiled wryly, and slowly shook his head: "Miss Duanmu, what you thought of was also what my lord thought. We didn't believe that Zhan Huwei would do such a thing. This matter will definitely be investigated in the future, but it is not imminent. .”

"why?"

"Guard Zhan did not agree to the Yao family's request. Yao Zhizheng was furious and brought the letter to Kaifeng. He was giving Mr. Bao some face, and he did not publicize the matter for the time being. He was willing to let the people of Kaifeng mansion mediate. If Guard Zhan doesn't change his words, he will file a lawsuit against him. Not only will Guard Zhan be ruined, but his life may be at stake."

"What request did the Yao family make?"

"Three matchmakers and six hires, marry Yao Manqing."

Duanmucui stopped talking.

Gongsun Ce sighed, and said in a low voice: "Miss Duanmu, frankly speaking, the Yao family's request is not too much."

Duanmucui remained silent.

"Afterwards, I asked Mrs. Yao to examine Miss Yao's body. She is indeed not perfect, and there is redness on her clothes... For this matter, Zhanwei cannot escape the blame."

"Then it might be someone else."

Gongsun Ce smiled miserably: "The servants of Yao's family rushed in when they heard Miss Yao's call for help, so it can be said that they... caught something."

Let you have a thousand mouths or ten thousand mouths, under the watchful eyes of all, the evidence is conclusive.

Duanmucui suddenly cried, "Zhan Zhao will suffer to death."

She can't think of anything else now, she just loves Zhan Zhao wholeheartedly, and suddenly feels that even if it is the sum of this life and the previous life, whether it is life or death, a single heart has never been so painful.When something like this happened, how far should Yi Zhanzhao blame himself?What's more, he was coaxed into the village and arrested with guns and clubs under the watchful eyes of everyone. How would those rural villagers humiliate Zhan Zhao?A dignified Nanxia, ​​a fourth-rank guard, wouldn't life be worse than death?
She stood up staggeringly, tears fell like rain, but there was a murderous look in her eyes: "I'm going to kill these people!"

Gongsun Ce stopped her, both helpless and distressed: "Miss Duanmu, put yourself in the Yao family's shoes, the Yao family is innocent. Especially that Yao girl, who committed suicide by hanging after the incident, if the nanny didn't find out In time, I'm afraid I'll die long ago."

Duanmucui couldn't listen to it, thinking of Zhan Zhao's current situation, her heart ached one after another.

Gongsun Ce closed his eyes slightly, tried his best to subdue the rising sourness, paused, and said in a calm tone: "Miss Duanmu, the most urgent thing is not to irritate the Yao family. Guard Zhan is a very responsible person. Although he was not willing, he would also agree to marry Yao Manqing out of righteousness, but this time it was unexpected because of two reasons. First, he also found that this matter was strange, and he didn't want to be played with like a puppet. Second, yes……"

Speaking of the second, he suddenly stopped.

Duanmucui waited for a long time without seeing his answer, raised her head and asked, "What's the second?"

Gongsun Ce smiled bitterly: "What is the second, don't you know? There are some things that Zhan Wei knows, you know, even me, an outsider, knows. It's just that you pretend not to know, Zhan Wei is afraid that you will embarrass yourself , and never said it. Everyone always thinks that one day the world will turn around, and everyone may be happy. Who knows that this day has not been waited, but unexpected changes. Since the incident happened suddenly, I, an outsider, might as well look at my old face and make things happen again. Pierce the window paper. Girl Duanmu, Zhanwei likes you in his heart, you always knew, right?"

Duanmucui nodded slightly.

"It's just that your identities are different. You don't know what will happen tomorrow. There are very few days when you can stay together, let alone talk about staying together. Miss Duanmu, you can't marry him, and it doesn't matter who Zhan Huwei marries. ,Do you get me?"

Duanmucui's eyelashes drooped, and she said stiffly: "I don't understand."

Gongsun Ce sighed: "Miss Duanmu, you don't have to be angry with me, everyone is doing it for the sake of guarding Zhan. If he really loses his reputation because of this, his life will be ruined."

Duanmucui sneered and said, "You want me to tell Zhan Zhao to marry that girl Yao. Why should I persuade Zhan Zhao to do something I don't want? I..."

She stopped suddenly.

"That Zhan Zhao hasn't tied the red thread on his feet yet, so maybe he's a lone star..."

This is what Yue San told her back then.

Haven't tied the red wire yet...

That is to say, even if Zhan Zhao agrees to this marriage, there will be side issues in the middle, so that this matter cannot end like this.

No matter what the branch in the middle is, this branch must be the key to saving Zhan Zhao.

Gongsun Ce saw that she suddenly stopped talking, but the expression on her face was cloudy and uncertain, he couldn't help feeling anxious, wondering what the girl was thinking again.While feeling anxious, Duanmucui suddenly said, "Okay, Mr. Gongsun, I promise you, I will persuade Zhan Zhao to marry that Miss Yao. When will you leave, sir? I'll pack up and go with you."

Gongsun Ce didn't know why she turned around so fast, but after hearing what she said, he still obeyed: "Leave early tomorrow morning."

After seeing off Gongsun Ce, Duanmucui didn't feel tired at all, just sat blankly by the flower bed, thinking about Zhan Zhao.

At first, I always felt that being a fairy was annoying, but now that I think about it, being a fairy is still good, at least, if she is still a fairy, she can come to Zhan Zhao's side when she is a Tudun.If Zhan Zhao didn't want to talk, she would definitely not quarrel with him, it would be good to just sit with him.

For a moment, his thoughts were like a tide, and his chin knocked on his knee.

Suddenly, she remembered that the night before entering the Underworld, she was also like this, holding her knees and pointing her chin.At that time, Zhan Zhao watched from the sidelines for a long time, and suddenly reached out to cover her knees, she didn't pay attention, and tapped her chin on the back of Zhan Zhao's hands.

A gentle smile appeared on Duanmucui's lips: Zhan Zhao treated her very well, very well.

She wandered her eyes and landed on the peony that was about to break off.

Perhaps it was because of missing Zhan Zhao that she developed a heart of love and care for Shao Yao, who was originally going to ignore her.

She stretched out her hand and stroked her hair a few times, picked up one or two hairs, put them in her hands to cover them slightly, recited the mantra silently, spread her hands out, and wrapped the strands of hair round and round around the broken peony. above the stem.

Strange to say, the peony was originally dull and withered, dying like death, after this entanglement, it slowly stood up again.After a while, a faint green light appeared above the withered flower disc, and within the green light, a woman's pale and tired but delicate face was revealed.

The woman was full of gratitude, she nodded towards Duanmucui slightly: "Little girl Yao Manbi, thank you girl."

Duanmucui smiled back: "It's nothing more than a little effort."

Longxian County in the early morning is too quiet, and the morning mist flows quietly among the alleys. At this time of year, the flowers should be blooming in Kaifeng, but in this remote northern region, it is still a bit too cold.

Duanmucui leaned against the carriage frame, rubbing her toes on the ground.It was still dark when they arrived, and Mr. Gongsun refused to call the door, saying he would wait a little longer.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, the sun seems to be caught by something, and it will never rise again. Duanmucui was so anxious that he scolded Sanzuwu in his heart.If she saw it now, she would definitely trample her three-legged black and round body until it could not be flattened anymore.

She stared at the darkened door of Yao's house.Zhan Zhao should be in this door, where is he?What are you doing?Did the Yao family treat him well?The door or the high wall are not obstacles to her, but Mr. Gongsun won't let her in, saying wait, don't act rashly.

Alright, just wait, anyway, I'm already here, so I'm not in a hurry.

So she waited patiently.She felt wronged, stared at Gongsun Ce in the carriage, and said to herself: This person is not a good person.

I don't know why, but Gongsun Ce has not been going well in the past two days.She was holding back her breath, the air was like water on the stove, from the beginning to boiling, she could not tell when the lid would be lifted.

But Gongsun Ce didn't know what to do, so he raised the curtain of the car and talked to her: "Miss Duanmu, why did you bring a pot of peony with you after traveling all the way here?"

"I'm happy!" Duanmucui's anger seemed to have found an outlet, and he choked back unceremoniously, "I can bring whatever I like, can I control it?"

Gongsun Ce smiled good-naturedly, this girl didn't like him all the way, and he knew why.

The girl's family is really narrow-minded, didn't he just say something in a hurry to persuade her to persuade Zhan Zhao to marry Yao Manqing?Look at her swollen face, she is full of energy, and she didn't give him a good look along the way.

Gongsun Ce looked at Duanmucui's side face with a smile, frowned, rolled his eyes, bit his lips, and muttered, most likely he was muttering about him, and most of the mutterings were not good.

"We've already arrived, why can't we open the door?" She finally couldn't help it.

"We're in no rush."

"Not in a hurry?" Duanmucui almost jumped up, "The road is full of fire, and I haven't eaten any serious food. Are you not in a hurry when we get here? If you are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry. Take your time and I will go in first."

She was about to leave.

"Miss Duanmu," Gongsun Ce had no choice but to get out of the car, "We are here to explain to the Yao family."

"That's you." Duanmu Cui leaned towards him, "I didn't come because of the Yao family or not."

"That's what you said," Gongsun Ce explained to her little by little, "Of course you can break in carelessly, and leave when you find the guards, but what about after? Don't say that Kaifeng Mansion can't go back, and you can't even gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. Have you thought about guarding Zhan? Of course it's good to be happy and enmity, and it's also happy to use a knife in your hand, but after the incident, who will let you make a lot of mess? To clean up?"

Duanmucui bit her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, she paused, and suddenly became angry.

"Hey, Gongsun Ce, where did I leave a lot of mess? Didn't I just wait here honestly? You are more annoying than Yao's family by talking about such a lot!"

At the end, he stomped his foot, watched the red sun rise in the east, and pointed his chin at Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce was dumbfounded and struggled for a long time before suppressing the idea of ​​continuing to argue with her.

The reason is simple: he thinks the girl is unreasonable.

Playing the piano to a cow, hmph, playing the piano to a cow, a gentleman doesn't want to do it, and he doesn't bother to do it.

Finally, when the "auspicious time" came, Gongsun Ce straightened his clothes, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door three times, explaining his identity and purpose of coming, neither humble nor overbearing.

Everything was impeccable, in exchange for Duanmucui snorted: "Just pretend and you will."

Gongsun Ce laughed secretly: It is true that you are pretending, but don't you have to cooperate well?

Drinking tea slowly in the hallway, before the cup was finished, Yao Zhizheng rushed over and bowed to him from a long distance: "Mr. Gongsun, I have long admired you."
