Grandpa is such a bunny

The wooden box, covered with the vicissitudes of time, has its edges and corners smoothed in tea, rice, oil and salt, and the rough lines still seep into the red paint that was painted at the beginning. When placed in a poor home, the red is dazzling.The woman said, "It is the only thing I will marry as a dowry. I will give it to you. I will put your calligraphy and ink in the future. When you are admitted to the number one scholar in the future, I will sell it. There must be many people vying for the calligraphy and ink of the number one scholar." want to."

The owner of the house raised his eyes from the book, hugged her into his arms, sat at the table, and read a poem to her, "Then if you want to sell it, you can sell other ones, and the ones here are all mine. The lyrics written for you will be composed into music later, and you will sing it to me."

The woman covered her face and smiled softly, "Why do you like listening to ditties so much?"

"No, my lady misunderstood, I only listen to your singing."

So, she believed it, and put the words he wrote into the wooden box every day. When he was reading and writing, she sat on the steps outside the door holding the wooden box in her arms, read the words he wrote over and over again, and hummed softly. , fingertips beat on the box, making a cowhide snare drum thump, thud, thud, thump, thump, thump, thud, thump, thud, thump, thud, thud, thump, thud, thud, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, fingertip on the box.

The euphemistic and moving voice passed through the hair of her plain skirt and wooden hairpin, and through a paper window, he heard her singing in a low voice, "Who do you say lovesickness bestows...

Tubo's eyes widened suddenly, and in an instant, there was a snow-like figure in front of his eyes, wearing plain mourning clothes, standing for a long time under the wall of the Luo'an arch, staring silently, "This poem is——"

Qian Fan grabbed his wrist, closed the wooden box, and glanced at the lake in the center of the lake surrounded by trees in the Zhang Mansion, "Benefactor, we have to set off for Luo'an immediately!"

When Du Yun was dragged from the bed, he thought he was in the Dali Temple, and finally reached the point where he was skinned, gouged out and beheaded. I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."

"Let go." Xie Yuxian had a cold face, and was extremely angry at the big-tailed wolf who had pounced on him as soon as he came here.

Hearing his voice, Du Yun opened his eyelids, then wiped his face, "Hahaha, I'm sorry, I fell asleep."

Not having time to chat with him, Tubo patted the wooden box into his arms.

The candle light dimmed.

After Du Yun looked at it, his face was expressionless, his eyes scanned the dimly lit room, the moonlight came in through the gap, and cast a bright light on the shadowy figure in front of him, as if to cut it in half, "Do you know In this box are the official careers and fates of how many high officials of the dynasty? If it is true, Longyan will be furious and the dynasty will be exchanged; if it is false, I will be killed by Ling Chi."

He carefully closed the box, carefully hugged it into his arms, propped his elbows on it, his voice was low and hoarse, "If you put it back and pretend not to know, Gao Chenfeng will be the one to die."

"That's what you think?" Tubo said coldly with his chest in his arms, his razor-sharp face revealing sharp lines in the darkness.

The corners of Du Yun's lips curled up, "Zen Master Shanyue is a monk, so he shouldn't care about the secular world. Mr. Xie is from the Jianghu and should not have anything to do with the court. And you, you are just a person who spends two to three months a month. Feng, if you don't even have an official title, you should be arrested, no matter how corrupt the court officials are, they won't hurt you, do you understand?"

Tubo said, "Stop talking nonsense." He walked over and stared at Du Yun condescendingly, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

Master Du's cheeks are white and tender, and because he is a little baby fat, he feels fat, which is in contrast to his thin and tall figure. He is very amiable when he smiles, "I don't bullshit, I just like to eat eggs."

Tu Bai snorted, squatted in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I'm too lazy to praise you, but you are indeed a good official. Du Yunyun, tell me, among the officials bought with money, how many of them can be like you?" I don't care how greedy they are, I just care about whether the people who have been wronged and wronged will decide for them. In the year of flood, will there be officials who will spend their property and buy food from other places to help the people? Ten days and nine remonstrances risked Longyan's anger to intercede for the common people, tell me, how many of the pussy eggs bought with money can do this?"

Du Yun smiled silently, but his eyes were filled with compassion and kindness.

Tubo turned around and took out a carved red sandalwood food box, "I'm really stupid enough, when Qin Chuxin asked me to keep this food box, I didn't notice anything strange about her."

He opened the box, and groped along the empty box wall with his fingers. He didn’t know what he encountered. Suddenly, the wooden food box made a sound of metal shrapnel, and the originally flat bottom bounced up. Tubo quickly took out the mixed things inside. ——This is a bill written by Gao Chenfeng himself. It contains all kinds of records that he followed Zhang Dingcheng to raise money for him to buy officials and accept bribes.

The favoritism and fraud in the imperial examinations, the black money obtained by forming cliques, and the secret contacts between officials and officials who are corrupt, Zhang Dingcheng probably never thought that his young and promising successor would forget all the secrets of officialdom that he showed him. Come down, hold it in your hand, and quietly create a knife for yourself to destroy them. The tip of the knife is sharp, maybe for your own life, or for greater greed and control.

"Can you pull them off their horses with these?" Tubo asked.

Du Yun looked at them quietly, "Maybe it can. Yes, you and I won't get any benefits, and may even be retaliated by the rest of the party. Maybe you can't, you can't, you won't get any good results."

Hearing what he said, Tubo smiled, stood up and walked to Qianfan, and gently touched him with the back of his hand under the dim light, "My Buddha is merciful, if you can't eat good fruit, you can still eat rotten fruit." Fill the stomach."

Du Yun couldn't help laughing. In fact, he is very cowardly and afraid of death, but as long as there is this rabbit, it seems that he can help carry it up when the sky falls. Du Yun really wants to say, alas, look at you, you rabbit Why do you care about so many things in the world?But he couldn't tell, he had seen countless people feed that pitiful rabbit with one ear drooping, there were little kids having fun in front of the door, aunts with embroidered mouths, squatting in the downtown area and guarding the vegetable baskets to sell vegetables girls, these people are all called common people.

And he is the official of the people.

"Since everything has been decided, it should not be too late. Old Tu, you go back to Luo'an City and find Qin Chuxin as quickly as possible. The other day you said that Zhang Dingcheng said before going to Yizhuang, 'If you can't find anything, set off immediately' , they should have discovered something, which may be detrimental to Chu Niang."

Tubo nodded, "OK."

"I'll go with you." Qian Fan said, Tubo shook his head, "No, this time I must come in person."

From the imperial capital to Luo'an, it will take six days at the fastest. The people from the Zhang family left last night and are still on the way. If they want to catch up with them, they can only use black magic.

Tubo glanced at Du Yun meaningfully, his eyes piercing his forehead like a knife, and the latter touched the tip of his nose, thinking, "This time I can see that I know his identity."

Du Yun continued to make arrangements, "Zen Master Shanyue, the palace needs you to stay by His Majesty's side and keep an eye on the court's movements in secret. If someone threatens the snake, we must have countermeasures to respond immediately.

Qian Fan nodded, and turned his clear eyes between him and Tubo. He found the tacit understanding between the two, and he was keenly aware of some things that he didn't know at all. The dawn outside the window was dim, and the thin light filled the room A layer of blue fell, and the sky became clearer, but the face of the young man in front of him seemed to be more blurred.

Suddenly he realized that he knew very little about Tubo, and his heart was dirty, which turned into jealousy and disturbed his heart pool.Qian Fan responded, but thought in his heart, can he still keep his ears clean and concentrate on practicing Zen.

Are those two choices already clear?

Du Yun knows how to use people well, and is extremely good at dispatching troops and generals. He is not wasting at all. Just as he was about to point at Xie Yuxian, he heard the other party say, "Who told you that the master of this pavilion would agree to fight against corrupt officials? This pair of Title Yu Pavilion It seems that there is no benefit at all, Master Du, have you forgotten, I am not only a quack, but also a profit-seeking businessman."

Du Yun nodded seriously, and curled his lips, "Well, if Mr. Xie helps me, how about I agree to triple the ransom on the arrest warrant?"

Xie Yu sniffed, "It's useless."

Du Yun finally got up from the bed, went to the table and poured himself a cup of tea for the night, "Yes, the higher the ransom, the more it proves that this person is extremely vicious, powerful in martial arts, and worth a lot of money. Pay attention, isn't this a great compliment to you."

Tu Bai narrowed his eyes, and sang with him, "It seems that Mr. Xie only thinks that he is worth a few pennies."

Xie Yuxian's eyes narrowed, and he closed his fan with a snap, "I agree."

Hearing this, Tu Lang and Du Wei looked at each other and smiled very meanly.

The matter was of great importance and there was no need to delay. After the four agreed, they immediately went their separate ways. Tubo simply packed up a set of clothes and dry food, bought a horse from the inn, and planned to leave at night.

It was another night of sleepless nights, the dawn was sinking behind the dim sky, the streets were sparsely populated, and the sound of horseshoes was particularly obvious.

Seeing him coming out with his horse, Qian Fan went to meet him, raised his hand to put a cloak on him, and put a ruby ​​seal letter in his hand, "If something happens, hang this thing on the window, and someone will come to help you." you."

Tubo held the rein and rubbed the warm jade with his fingers, "I will go early and return early."

Qian Fan nodded, and wanted to say something, but moved his lips but did not make a sound, he just looked at him deeply with his straight glass-like eyes, and after a while, he smiled wryly, "It's the poor monk who is nagging, the benefactor gets on the horse."

But Tubo smiled, straightened his blue robe that was billowing in the wind, and whispered in his ear, "I understand what you want to say, I haven't heard your answer yet, so I dare not let something happen to me .”

He stretched out his hand to touch him, but held back halfway, his fingers hooked the Buddhist beads on Qian Fan's wrist, half an inch away from him, he could feel the warm breath of the other party, Tubo's eyes were full of smiles , "Hey, your name is very interesting. It's not like Qianfan, Xiehui pulses with water, Qianfan, your name is also Acacia."

Tubo curled his lips, "Will you lovesick?"

Qian Fan raised his eyes to look at him, Tubo turned over and got on the horse gracefully, looked down at the handsome monk below him, flipped his wrist, and swung down the whip. He got in with his ironed collar.

Then Tubo quickly lifted the whip, bowed his head and kissed deeply on the whip rope, and said affectionately and wretchedly, "Ah, it smells so good, lovesickness is bitter, I can only comfort the benefactor with this."

Qian Fan, "..."

He stayed by his side for many days, thinking that he had already built a copper wall and iron wall to withstand the attack of this animal's shameless attack. He never thought that the Buddha was one foot tall and the devil was one foot tall. The wall in his heart collapsed and shattered into tiles. A thick blush covered his face all over the sky, burning him into a bright rainbow inside and out.

Qian Fan was ashamed and angry, raised his hand to pat the horse's back, and drove the beast away.

The horse's hooves flew away, and Tubo was lying on the horse's back, holding the whip, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

The figure of the young man disappeared into the dim sky, and Qian Fan turned back to the palace.

The street was calm again, and a window on the second floor facing the street was slowly closed. Du Yun went to the table and sat down, rubbed his sore eyes, and sighed with hatred, "You Stupid rabbit..."

When it was daylight, Du Yun took Xie Yuxian, who was disguised as a policeman, to Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Yinxiang was still wearing a lavender double-breasted dress, with only a plain white flower inserted in his hair. He was neither surprised nor panicked by the arrival of Du Yun and others. He asked the maid to prepare tea and said coldly, "You guys Suspect me?"

Zhang Dingcheng sat aside, stroking the tea in the cup with the tea lid. "Xiangxiang, speak well, Mr. Du is just a routine."

Du Yun drank tea, ate snacks, put his hands in his hands, and nodded at Zhang Dingcheng, smiling harmlessly, "Yes, yes, I just want to ask Madam a few words."

The burning incense in the study exudes a faint fragrance. On the wall is a vase drawn by Suihan Sanyou, and a single flower branch is inserted in the vase. There is only one budding flower standing on the branch , cold and noble.

Xie Yuxian was turned away because of his identity as a police officer, so he guarded the study coldly, holding his breath to listen to the conversation coming from inside.

"Madam, can you recall who Mrs. Gao has ever had an enmity with?" Du Yun's eyes and eyebrows curled up as soon as he spoke. He is very good at putting on this kind of friendly and easy-going demeanor, which can easily ease the other party's worries when he asks questions. and fear.

But Zhang Yinxiang seems to have no such emotion at all, dignified and indifferent, "Chen Feng has a proud and stubborn personality, and it is inevitable that he will have disputes with others in political affairs. He also argued with my father. If we talk about enmity, there may be many, my lord. Go and investigate."

"Chen Feng just has his own views, even if he has occasional disagreements with the old man, he is still a man to be made." Zhang Dingcheng took a sip of his tea and interjected, "Hey, I don't know that things are impermanent."

"Ma'am, Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry for the change." Du Yun said, "Master Gao is open-minded, but I'm afraid that someone will be resentful because of this controversy. Ask Madam, do you have any doubts in your mind?"

Zhang Yinxiang glanced at him, with alienation in his beautiful eyes, "I live in the courtyard, and never ask about my husband's errands. If you want to know anything, you can ask my father."

Zhang Dingcheng nodded cooperatively, "The old man will know everything without saying anything."

Du Yun quickly raised his teacup, "Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."

After paying respects, Du Yun held the teacup and sighed, "The murderer hasn't been found until now. It's my fault. I'm sorry Madam and Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Dingcheng's face was filled with grief, "Chenfeng's underground knows whether to blame Master Du, the murderer is extremely vicious, and we are willing to do our best to cooperate with Sir to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

Du Yun smiled wryly and shook his head, "Thank you, then Du has another question, I wonder if it's convenient to ask Madam."

"Please speak."

"I heard that Mr. Gao had a quarrel with his wife when he left. May I ask why?" Du Yun leaned forward slightly, listening carefully, his bright eyes glowing like jewels , releasing two shrewd rays of light.

Zhang Yinxiang let him look at him, she was silent for a moment, her chest rose and fell gently, and she clenched her hands on her knees, curling her beautifully manicured nails into her palms, after a while, she exhaled slowly, looked up at Du Yun smiled, "Yes, he was reading a letter in those days."

Hearing his words, Zhang Dingcheng, who was listening, lowered his head and drank tea, a flash of emotion flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he sat up straight calmly, with an imperceptible smirk on his wrinkled face.

Du Yun seemed unaware, staring at Zhang Yinxiang intently, "What letter?"

As if touching a sore spot, she closed her eyes, and Zhang Dingcheng said, "Xiangxiang, show it to him." He shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "You ugly family."

Zhang Yinxiang waved his hand weakly, and the maid brought it up with a painted red plate, on which lay a piece of crumpled and yellowed paper, "Please look at it, my lord."

Du Yun took the paper and looked at it two or three times.

This is a love poem written by a woman who misses a traveler in a foreign land - the content of the poem is the same as what they found in the wooden box, except for the handwriting, this one is a woman's graceful brushwork.

"He was married before, I know." Zhang Yinxiang said, his beautiful eyes turned cold, "He told me that he had already divorced her, but I didn't expect that he just lied to me, behind my back Contact this woman."

Du Yun quickly said, "No wonder Madam is so angry, I doubt Madam earlier, I'm really sorry."

Zhang Yinxiang didn't even look at him, his face was pale, "I can't blame others for the consequences he caused alone."

Du Yun was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be suspicious, "Ma'am, you mean... that woman is inseparable from Mrs. Gao's death? Is it that woman who bought the murder|killer? But an ordinary woman, can you Do you have the ability to get involved with people in the Jianghu?"

Zhang Yinxiang looked at him, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and he said coldly, "Ordinary woman... Heh, she is a famous singer in Nanjianghuai, a song can attract green forest heroes to spend the night with her, I heard that she was not born beautiful, but she is extremely tempting, and it is probably not an exaggeration to say that she has won many knights in the world." She covered her abdomen with her water sleeves, raised her eyes and said word by word, "My lord, if The confidante is begging, will you help her?

Du Yun hurriedly asked, "Do you know Madam?"

Zhang Yinxiang's face was expressionless, and the voice was forced out of his chest. Every word seemed to be disassembled and swallowed by her, with a cold chill and brokenness, "She called Qin Chuxin."

Du Yun turned pale in shock, stood up, swept down the teacup on the table with his sleeves and didn't care about it, "Qin Chuxin? The first lady in Lingxian Pavilion, is she the murderer?" Du Yun was stunned and suddenly realized. , "I've always been puzzled, Mr. Gao is not familiar with Luo'an's place of life, how could he take the initiative to go out late at night, it turns out that he just wanted to meet Qin Chuxin."

Zhang Yinxiang lowered his eyes and clutched his stomach tightly.

"That's right!" Du Yun said, "I didn't expect it to be Qin Chuxin. Thank you Madam and Mrs. Zhang for reminding me, I will send someone to arrest her right now! It's not too late, so I won't stop any longer." As he spoke, he bowed to the two people in the room, and strode out of the study.

Xie Yuxian followed behind him. The two of them looked hurried and hurried along the way, as if they were really going to arrest someone. The servant of the Zhang family followed secretly for a few streets, then turned and returned to the Zhang residence.

The wind from the courtyard blew into the study, Zhang Qi closed the door smoothly, and said in a low voice, "Master, they believed it."

Zhang Dingcheng sneered, and put down the teacup with a 'bang', "What did you believe? It was the woman who hired a killer without knowing her life. Chen Feng believed in the wrong person and died here. Xiangxiang, this case will be over soon Now, you don’t have to worry about it anymore, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want that kind of person.”

Zhang Yinxiang took a deep look at him, stood up clutching his abdomen, looking extremely exhausted, "Zhang Qi, help me back to my room."

"Wait." Zhang Dingcheng stood up, walked slowly to Zhang Yinxiang with his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly and looked at the man in front of him, "Zhang Qi, miss is pregnant now, I'm afraid you are a man If the service is not enough, the old man has already found a few maids and sent them to the young lady's pavilion, so you don't have to stay by the young lady's side in the future, don't hurt the young lady and the child."

Zhang Dingcheng turned around and said, "Xiangxiang, what do you think?"

Zhang Qi looked at Zhang Yinxiang nervously.

Zhang Yinxiang's expression was cold, his brows were full of tiredness, and he didn't even look at Zhang Qi, "I will obey my father's arrangements." After finishing speaking, he let the maid who came forward hold her arm and left the room.

Zhang Dingcheng looked down at him, "Zhang Qi, this servant should act like a servant."

Looking at her resolute and indifferent back, the last bit of hope in Zhang Qi's eyes disappeared, and his rough hands were clenched into fists. It took a long time before he turned the unwillingness, anger, pity, and extravagant hopes in his heart into deep silence.

The streets and alleys of the imperial capital are bustling and intertwined, and high walls can be seen everywhere. Du Yun and Xie Yuxian turned into an alley with few people. Bending down and supporting his knees, "I'm running away to death, it's all right, let me have a rest."

Xie Yuxian stood aside, tearing off the policeman's face, revealing a handsome side face, and sneered ruthlessly, "Is this not enough?"

Men are most afraid of being asked if it's okay, but Du Yun has always been shameless. He grabbed the hem of Xie Yuxian's clothes with one hand and said sadly, "Yeah, usually the brothers in the yamen are behind me at this time. My lord is a scholar. Just one with enough physical strength."

Xie Yuxian slapped his hand off, and said coldly, "Master Du, do you want to say that I have no wink and don't know how to carry you behind my back, or do you want to say that I am dull and not as intelligent as an adult?"

Du Yun's hand was white, and the red seal couldn't disappear after patting it for a long time. He covered his hand with grievance, and said, "Master Xie, do you always try to figure out other people's thoughts like this? Belly..." The scabbard on Xie Yuxian's waist buzzed, Du Yun quickly retracted the second half of the sentence, and said seriously, "Mr. Xie, is your man already in the Zhang residence? send someone?"

The sword hanging from his waist was half an inch away from cutting off the man's head, but he was stopped by his serious appearance. Xie Yuxian's surging blood was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't vomit it comfortably, so he had to He gave Du Yun a stinky face that was about to be constipated, "If you don't believe me, go yourself."

After speaking, he turned around and left, Du Yun followed behind him, "I can trust it, I can trust it too much."

As soon as Tubo got out of the city, he tied the horse to the side of the road, looked around carefully, and there was silence around him. He took a deep breath, took out Qianfan's ruby ​​seal letter from his bosom, and touched it, "Wait for me obediently." With that, I closed my eyes.

A burst of bright green mist spread from his body, and the weeds without horseshoes under his feet swayed without wind, and the tied horse snorted uncomfortably. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly appeared from roaring, like a A huge monster opened its grotesque mouth and swallowed Tubo in one gulp. In an instant, he turned into a wind blade and disappeared outside the imperial capital.

He didn't know how to fly through the clouds, so he had to expend a lot of spiritual power to attract the wind blade to take him away. Not long after Tubo left, a man slowly walked out of the void from the outskirts of the city, which was still full of monsters. Stretch out your hand to touch the horse's mane gently. The back of your hand is bony, and you can clearly see the blue veins flowing under the pale skin. The raised wrist bone has a faded red rope, and there is a smooth and whitish piece under the rope. bones.

The horse turned its head and looked at him with big moist eyes.

The man smiled lowly, and said softly, "You're back, heh, you're back." The next second, the horse under him neighed sharply, the horse's head spurted out a mouthful of blood, its skull broke, and it convulsed and fell to the ground. on the ground.

Blood splashed, and a drop fell on the bone bracelet of the man. He furrowed his brows and wiped it away with his thumb, "Shhh, he's here."

Luo'an City, Lingxian Tower, high terraces and red corridors, ten miles of soft fragrance.The snare drum with the pattern of tiger skin and waves made a series of clear and rapid sounds, like the gongs and drums of a watchman caught fire at night, or like a fisherman on a ferry boat by the riverside beating the side of the boat with a fishing rod, urging the wanderers to leave.

Qin Chuxin stood in the red tent, holding two tiny sticks in his hands, and lightly tapped on the small drum painted red and sprinkled with gold leaf. Standing by the riverside, I watched the passenger ship leave, creating ripples on the river.

Her eyes were full of mist, but her voice was as flat as water. A lingering ditty floated out of her mouth, flew over the corners of the eaves, and landed on the expensive robes of the dignitaries who came from the imperial capital that day. Do not leave.

"Yesterday, the green peony in the cloud bun, the peach blossom and the red man will not return, who do you say lovesickness bestows on, who do you say lovesickness bestows..."

A sharp arrow puffed through the charming red gauze warm tent, and the tip of the arrow made an ear-piercing humming, and it hit the woman's thin chest.
