It's up to you. "
Teng Zhen looked up at him, and thought it was really funny, so he said: "The Yushi Mansion is not an inn, and there are no rooms for rent. If it is a consultation fee, it is not enough."
"Then how much do you say?" Nan Lie asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it!" Fujima replied.
"Have you seen Caizi this morning?" Nan Lie asked again.
"When to see her, I have my own idea, I don't need you, an outsider, to point out!" Teng Zhen replied angrily, but he couldn't laugh or cry at Nan Lie's straightforward question without polite language.
Nan Lie could hear the reproach in his tone, so he stopped talking, greeted him and went out.
After he left, Fujima caught a glimpse of Xiaolian coming out of the room from the corner of his eye, and saw that Xiaolian was still rubbing her neck, so he took the silver and said to Xiaolian: "He knocked you out yesterday. You take the ingot. He will pay you."
When Xiaolian saw that there was money to be collected, Xiao Lian immediately beamed with joy. After thanking Fujima, she went to the kitchen to decoct medicine for Caizi.
Just do what you say, after breakfast, Fujima came to Ayako's room.Put down the medicine box, wash your hands, and feel the pulse. The pulse is peaceful, so Fujima said: "I don't know why you can't find Wen Po, but he asked me to push your belly for you. Don't you mind?"
Caizi laughed dryly after hearing this, and said, "It's a matter of life and death, why are there so many long-winded rules?"
"Okay, let's start." Fujima put his hands flat on her abdomen, and then gently pushed her stomach up. He told Caizi that he was not very proficient, but he had seen other women doing this before, so I can only imitate their methods and give it a try. I hope Caizi doesn't mind.
Caizi was unexpectedly forthright, not only didn't mind, but also thanked her repeatedly.
Fujima told her that in fact, reverse birth is not the most troublesome thing. What is more troublesome than reverse birth is cross birth, where the child comes out first, and side birth, whose head is tilted to one side, and the most dangerous thing is obstruction of labor, umbilical cord climbing shoulders Those around the neck.
After hearing this, Caizi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking about how lucky she was to meet a doctor like Fujima, maybe it was because of the blessing of her husband's spirit in heaven.
Fuji really understood that it was impossible to inquire about the situation from Nan Lie, so after pushing belly, he helped Caizi to the table, poured her a glass of water, and asked carefully: "What are he and you? relation?"
Caizi sighed, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I am a fugitive..."
It turned out that Caizi Inoue's husband was named Mumu Gongyan, who was Daqi's minister of rites. He was sentenced for boldly speaking, persuading the current emperor not to be too obsessed with masculinity, and to use the money from the construction of "Fengya Palace" for disaster relief in Guanzhong. He was sentenced to beheading, and his family was sent to the frontier.Caizi said: "My husband has been a man of integrity all his life. He knows that loyal words are harsh, but he still insists on remonstrance. That's why he ended up like this."
Caizi's heartfelt words really made Teng Zhenxin feel pity, and he comforted: "Some men only have a country in their hearts, but no home. It's really pitiful that Mr. Mu Mu left you, one big and one small, and no one cares about them."
"No, my husband didn't know that I was pregnant with his flesh and blood at the time. In order to save his child, I pretended to have a stomachache and took the opportunity to escape on the way to the border. I walked along the mountain road for an unknown number of days..." When Caizi said this, her expression darkened.
Teng Zhen took a sip of tea and continued: "After you are Zhongliang, why is Nan Lie still so secretive?"
"He is just like this, he is cautious in everything." Caizi replied, but her tone was cold and cruel.
"Are you familiar with him?" Fujima asked.
"If I had a choice, I'd rather never meet this person in my life." Having said that, Caizi could not hold back her tears after all.
Tengzhen didn't know why, he felt that Nanlie cared about Caizi very much, but Caizi told him that it was because he owed their mother and son, and then she told Fujima about meeting Nanlie in the ruined temple.Only then did Tengzhen believe that Nan Lie hadn't lied, he really saved Master Huaxing.It's just that when Fujima was about to ask Caizi who Nan Lie was, there was a commotion at the door.
Fujima immediately let Caizi avoid, and then stepped forward to open the door.
The person who came was none other than Mitsui Shou, the jailer of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Mitsui told Fujima that a prisoner came to the prison with a malignant sore. He was very uncomfortable and cried out in pain, but it happened that the person in the prison who knew medical skills had a rest, so in desperation, he had no choice but to come here , ask him to go see a doctor.
Where is the cell?That is the gathering place of Yin Qi, Yang Qi, bad Qi, and bad luck. Mitsui is the king's salary, and his responsibility is unavoidable.I am just a commoner, so I can avoid it if I can. Thinking of this, Tengzhen shook his head harder than a rattle.
However, Mitsui is not a fuel-efficient lamp, insisting on "persuading each other with good words" and stalking, finally abducted Fujima to the cell, and Fujima finally knew who Nan Lie was!
☆, autumn decision
Facts have proved that Fujima has a good understanding of the prison. As soon as he stepped into the prison, he saw a crazy prisoner rushing towards him.Mitsui couldn't react in time and almost fell down. At this time, a powerful figure of Kong Wu appeared. After a few moves with the prisoner, he finally used a shadowless kick to beat the prisoner to the ground.Then, the surrounding government servants immediately stepped forward to subdue the prisoner.
After Teng Zhen eased his emotions, he took a closer look, and it was none other than Nan Lie who saved him!
At this time, Tokuo, the yamen servant, reported to Mitsui: "Boss, you went out early today, so I didn't come in a hurry to report to you. He is the new executioner, named Nan Lie."
Executioner! ?
Fuji really finally understood why he always felt that Nan Lie was weird but couldn't tell what was wrong. The reason was because of his innate murderous aura, which made people shudder!
Seeing that the new executioner was Nan Lie, Mitsui was overjoyed for a moment, and immediately invited them to the front hall for tea.
After the three came to the front hall, they chatted. It turned out that Nan Lie was Mitsui's childhood playmate.Because Mitsui's fighting skills have always been good, so he helped him a few times, and just like that, the two got to know each other and became good friends.It's a pity that in the next few years, successive years of natural disasters caused fewer and fewer medicinal materials to be collected on the mountain, and the Nan family opened a medicine shop. In the end, the two of them parted ways as a last resort.
However, Mitsui did not expect that Nan Lie would become an executioner. When he asked how long Nan Lie had been a cabinet hand, Nan Lie told him that it was ten years!
ten years! ?After hearing this, Tengzhen said in surprise: "If ten people are killed in a year, wouldn't it be a hundred in ten years?"
"To be more specific, it's 240 two!" Nan Lie blurted out.
"The head was cut off, bloody, aren't you afraid?" Fujima asked.
Mitsui didn't wait for Nan Lie to answer, and immediately asked Fujima: "Then when you bandaged someone's wound, isn't it also bloody? Why aren't you afraid? Besides, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Everyone is walking towards death step by step from birth. "
"What's the same? I'm saving people, but he's killing people. If you act like this, then everyone should stop being human?" Fujima said.
"Of course not, what I mean is that life is short, so we should cherish every day we live." After Mitsui finished speaking, he suggested to Nan Lie to go out to get together at night, but Nan Lie replied flatly: "Let's talk. "After that, I asked Mitsui for a list of prisoners who will be judged this autumn, and then accompanied by Mitsui, I went to the cell with Fujima.
The No.1 of this year's autumn judging is named Shenzong Ichiro, a scholar, because he killed someone by mistake, he was sentenced to beheaded.However, in the past few days, the yamen servant found that he had a malignant sore on his body. He was worried that he would die of poison before the autumn judgment, so he asked Fujima to come and apply some medicine for him.
After applying the medicine, the yamen servant escorted Shenzong Ichiro to kneel down in front of Nan Lie.
Nan Lie stepped forward, brushed his hair loose on his back, then measured his neck with his fingers, and said to the yamen servant beside him: "The neck is four and a half fingers long, and the knife is two and a half fingers long." After saying this, He nodded to indicate that the yamen servant can take him back to the cell.
At this time, a yamen servant came to report that the maid, Xiao Lian, was waiting in the front hall at this time, and said that Teng Zhen had to go back quickly because of something urgent.
After a group of people left the cell in a hurry, the cell suddenly became quieter.
Nan Lie said to the prisoner Shenzong Yilang: "If you cut your head with a knife, you have nothing to worry about. It's the rules of the school. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can do it for you. Only one thing!"
Ah Shen raised his head, looked at Nan Lie for a while through his disheveled and dry hair, and finally said, "Why did God treat me like this? What did I do wrong? Is it wrong to be born in a humble background? Or is it wrong to love someone?"
"It was your fault for killing someone!" Nan Lie replied.
"I don't want to!" God said.
It turned out that a year ago, when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he met bandits on his way, and all his money was looted.When he was living on the street, Shen Qiuyuan, the only daughter of Shen Yuanwai in the east of the city, extended a helping hand to him.
Ms. Akimoto not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a gentle personality. Not only did she help Shenzong Ichiro solve the problem of going to Beijing to rush for the exam, but she also helped him with all the board and lodging along the way, hoping that he can go to high school.In the day-to-day confrontation, they hit it off and fell in love with each other.
However, when Yuanwai Shen learned of all this, he was furious and vowed to beat the pair of fateful mandarin ducks with a stick.So they thought of elopement, but unfortunately, they were still discovered by outsiders and sent servants to intercept them, which led to a fight. …
"But that person did die because of you!" Nan Lie said to God.
God lowered his head after hearing this, as if regretting a bit, he said to himself: "What should I do to avoid all this? If Qiu Yuan and I had an appointment an hour earlier, or the clouds in the sky were not so thick at that time, Or at that time, the torch should not be blown out by the wind..."
"Or would it be better if you never met Miss Akimoto?".
Nan Lie's words were like a basin of cold water pouring Ah Shen from head to toe.With a wry smile, he raised his head and asked Nan Lie, "Are you really willing to fulfill my wish?"
"Don't kill living beings, don't break the law, don't violate morality, don't go against the laws of nature, live and die, one knife for one thing!" Nan Lie replied.
After hearing this, God thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I want the Four Treasures of the Study..."
"Infatuation hurts, hidden in silent tears; life and death are boundless, but it's hard to be a couple..."
After Fujima followed Xiaolian to Shen's house, he found out that Miss Shen Qiuyuan attempted to commit suicide by cutting her wrists this morning. After she was found to stop her, she kept leaning against the wall in the corner of the boudoir, chanting words, but after many recitations, only this sentence.
Seeing this situation, Teng Zhen couldn't help frowning, and then stepped forward to check the injury on her wrist. Fortunately, the blood from the wound had already solidified, and her hands and feet were not cold, and her muscles did not twitch. Phenomenon, it should be nothing serious.
So Fujima applied the self-made Jinchuang medicine to Miss Akimoto's wound, and then carefully bandaged it up for her.
After some instructions, member Shen sent Teng Zhen out of the Shen family.Fujimahara didn't want to ask more, but suicide, there is always a reason that is harder to give up than transcending life and death, so he still couldn't help asking.
Shen Yuanwai sighed, and said: "The family is unfortunate!" Then, he told Fujima how his daughter fell in love with Shenzong Ichiro and how they eloped...
Unexpectedly, in a world of peace and prosperity, such a tragedy would happen.Walking on the way home, Fujima couldn't help sighing in his heart: Without the order of his parents, without the words of a matchmaker, the love between Shenzong Ichiro and Shen Qiuyuan can only be reduced to a matchless affair under the secular ethics. My own experience is so similar, it can even be said that the past between myself and Huaxing is far more cast aside by the world than their love, but the ending is quite different.
Fujima suddenly felt how lucky he was, lucky to have a reasonable father, and lucky to have a reasonable father, which allowed the deviant love between them to bloom, even though he and Hanakata spent time together It's not long, but the memories left are enough for him to have a good thought in the endless days to come...
Back home, Fujima saw that it was getting late, so he took the time to go to the wing to visit Caizi.
Caizi's complexion was obviously much better than when she first came to Yushi's Mansion. Seeing that she was having dinner, Fujima chatted with her.
The two were chatting, Nan Lie came back, and he saw that Fujima was there, so he asked him if the belly pushing went smoothly, and Fujima told him that everything was as he expected, and the situation was good.After Nan Lie heard this, he nodded slightly, and then said: "Tomorrow morning at Yinshi, I will go to the Ministry of Punishment, and Caizi will be handed over to you."
"So early? Why?" Fujima asked.
"Because tomorrow is the first day of the Autumn Judgment..."
Before Nan Lie finished speaking, Caizi put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
Seeing that she was eating too little, Fujima told her to eat more, otherwise she would have no strength during delivery.Nai Caizi is also stubborn, she said: "I feel like throwing up when I think of someone with blood on their hands." The implication is that she is talking about Nan Lie. If it offends your appetite, I'm going out." After speaking, he exited the room and closed the door.
At night, when Teng Zhen passed the yard, he saw Nan Lie put the soul-destroying knife used for execution on the incense table that had already been arranged in the yard.Then lit incense and candles, and finally kowtowed three times to the soul-breaking knife.
After worshiping, he picked up the knife and sharpened it on the whetstone that had been prepared.
The creaking sound made by the friction between the metal and the stone made Fujima, who was peeping from the side, terrified...
☆, Brothel
At noon the next day, Tengzhen and Xiaolian were invited to go to Yuanwai Shen's mansion again to check Miss Qiuyuan's wound.Arriving outside Miss Qiuyuan's boudoir, Tengzhen suddenly found several servants standing on both sides of the boudoir. This situation seemed to put Shen Qiuyuan under house arrest.
Fujima and Xiaolian walked into the room, and after saying hello, they checked Miss Akimoto's wound. The wound was fine, but her mental state seemed to be worse than yesterday.
Fujima casually asked the reason, but Qiuyuan didn't say a word, but just sent a letter to him, which read: Ten years of hard work, when Yixin Jinbang was nominated, God met Qiuyuan by chance, and it was rare for a woman to fall in his arms, with deep affection Secretly promised, covetously, abandoning the right path, taking shortcuts, delusional to gain both money and wealth.It's a pity that I made a mistake and lost all the games. Now I'm in prison, and I regret that I didn't do it. The so-called beauty has been a disaster since ancient times. I don't know the holy words, so stupid.Is Shen Qiuyuan a treasure house descended from heaven? I hate the King of Hades for asking for his life. I wasted my entire life of wisdom. I plan carefully. After elopement, I will take away her chastity and ruin her reputation. When the time comes, I will send letters and threats, want to take people, take ransom, and throw them away The mandarin duck pillow is irrelevant from now on.
After reading it, Fujima put down the letter, only to hear Qiu Yuan say: "Although the handwriting is God's, but I have experienced so much with him, and I know him very well. I don't believe a word in the letter!"
In fact, only the person involved knows best about the relationship. Akimoto said that God may have been forced to write this letter or because of some inhumane reasons. Fujima thinks this is also possible.What's more, he saw Qiu Yuan was so persistent, so he asked her what her plan was.Akimoto didn't hide from him, and told him directly that she was going to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask Shen Zongichiro, but how to escape from this boudoir, she had to do her a favor...
The autumn wind is bleak, and the streets are full of fallen leaves. The execution ground in the western suburbs of Shanghe City, the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom, is heavily fortified again.
After autumn is always the season for execution, the people of Shanghe City have long been familiar with it, whether they say they are ruthless or indifferent, they surrounded the execution ground with the mood of watching the excitement.
The time has come, Nan Lie walked up with the soul-breaking knife.
Suddenly, a clear voice sounded: "God, I believe you are true to me, don't you? Answer me?"
Ah Shen immediately turned his head and saw Qiu Yuan in the crowd streaming down his face.
It turned out that Tengzhen used a trick to get Shen Qiuyuan to put on Xiaolian's clothes and sneak out of Shen's residence.
"Is that right, God?" Qiu Yuan asked loudly again.
Helpless, Ah Shen didn't speak, but after looking at Qiu Yuan affectionately, he turned his head and looked at Nan Lie with a smile. He knew that Nan Lie didn't lie to him, and really sent the letter to Qiu Yuan. With this letter, God In Shen Qiuyuan's heart, Zong Yilang was a prodigal son who deserved his death.Only in this way can Shen Qiuyuan have a reason not to be sad anymore, and have the courage to face the future...
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and at the critical moment, no matter how much Qiuyuan cried, Nan Lie waved the soul-breaking knife in his hand without hesitation, and chopped it down...
"There is no wronged soul under the knife of breaking the soul, hitting the board and cutting the head is even, the resentment of life and death turns into smoke, and the evil spirit is retreated..."
After finishing speaking, Mitsui hit Nan Lie's back several times with the board.This is the rule of the executioner's profession, in order to wash away the guilt of the executioner.
After the memorial ceremony, Mitsui held a small red envelope, handed it to Nan Lie and said, "After receiving the bonus gift, all bad luck will be washed away."
Nan Lie took the red envelope and thanked him.
Afterwards, Mitsui proposed to everyone to go to Tianxiang Tower for dinner at night, take a bath to get rid of bad luck, and then help Nan Lie clean up the dust. In short, he will cover all expenses.
As soon as everyone heard that it was time to drink flower wine, they immediately got excited, surrounded Nan Lie in a bluff, and left the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
This was Nan Lie's first visit to Tianxiang Tower, but he had never been interested in these things, so he was sitting in the pile of makeup with a few brothers from the yamen at this time, still with a straight face, without any expression.On the other hand, the yamen servants and Mitsui had already started hugging left and right, and they couldn't think of leaving.
While eating, the laughter at the neighboring table caught Nan Lie's attention.It turned out that at some time, a playwright came to the brothel and was doing tricks at the next table, which attracted applause from everyone.
Nan Lie never liked making noise, just when he was about to get away, the theater artist walked over to him, then swung his cloak on his chest, and then pulled out a stick from the front of his chest Red silk.The crowd couldn't help being applauded again and again by his performance.
I only heard the theater master say to Nan Lie: "Is this brother going to leave? I still have a lot of good performances."
Nan Lie glanced at him and said bluntly, "I'm not interested in juggling. I won't believe it if it's true or not."
The colorist saw that his nose was ashamed, so he left.On the other hand, Mitsui, seeing that Nan Lie was about to leave, immediately stepped forward to persuade him that there are still many interesting things to do here, besides, he has asked the old bustard here, Aunt Gui, to open a room for Nan Lie, and when the time comes, there will be a girl to serve him comfortably Clothes.So everyone also stepped forward to agree, saying that it was a bath to wash away the bad luck, and then let the girl sleep with her comfortably for the night, not to mention how cool it was.
Seeing everyone's good intentions, Nan Lie couldn't resist, so he followed the old bustard, Aunt Gui, up to the second floor.
In the business of selling jokes, what I learned the most is how to flatter. Aunt Gui babbled a lot along the way: "The girls in our Tianxianglou are all beautiful..."
But Nan Lie ruthlessly interrupted: "I'm here to eat."
"Of course it's okay to eat, the most famous thing here is..."
"I want three bowls of rice." Nan Lie interrupted her again.
Aunt Gui gave him a sideways look, and immediately felt bored, so she said, "Okay, there's no problem if you want a bucket."
……
The upper room that Aunt Gui arranged for Nan Lie was at the end of the corridor on the second floor. When passing by another upper room, Nan Lie happened to hear the endless laughter inside, and then saw a girl in revealing clothes being pushed by a middle-aged man with a greasy hair and powder face. The man walked out of the room with his arms in his arms.However, Nan Lie has always adhered to the idea of not asking questions, so he followed Aunt Gui to the upper room that belonged to him without asking anything.
As soon as Nan Lie walked into the room, a girl followed him in. Nan Lie saw that it was the girl who was hugged by the middle-aged man just now.The girl closed the door, walked up to Nan Lie, made a blessing, and said: "Little girl Miyuki Sakuragi, I wonder what the name of this master is?"
"I don't need it, girl." Nan Lie refused bluntly.
But Meixue didn't intend to give up at this point, she told Nanlie that she knew a lot of tricks, do you want to try?Nan Lie was annoyed by her persistence, so he said decisively: "Go out, I want to be alone!"
Seeing his tough attitude, Miyuki thought that maybe he really felt that he was an eyesore.But she couldn't just leave like this, she told Nan Lie gently that if she went out now, Aunt Gui would definitely say that she had been obedient to others again.Seeing that Nan Lie stopped talking, she suggested: "Master, why don't you just pretend that you can't see me and let me sit here for a while."
"Just for a while!" Nan Lie said.
"Thank you, sir!" Miyuki sat down happily.
At this time Xiao Er pushed open the door and brought in the food, saying that Mitsui ordered it for Nan Lie.
Seeing that Nan Lieguang ate rice instead of vegetables, Meixue couldn't help but feel a little pity.But the brothel has the rules of the brothel, the girl can only greet the guests to eat, but can't touch the guests' meals.Therefore, Miyuki could only stare blankly and swallow her saliva when she looked at the fat and tender pork and the delicious chicken.
It was Nan Lie. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Mei Xue who seemed to be very hungry, so he said to her, "Eat what you want."
With Nan Lie's approval, Meixue immediately grabbed a chicken leg and said, "Then I'm sorry, I'm so hungry."
When Nan Lie saw that she ate deliciously, and asked her if it was really delicious, Meixue blurted out that everything was delicious when she was hungry. After she finished speaking, she realized that this statement was biased, and immediately corrected it: "We have a little food in Tianxianglou It's not worse than Yipinlou. Don't you really want to try it?" After speaking, Miyuki rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her hand and pulled the goose legs off the plate, and began to eat with relish.
Nan Lie suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was quick-talking and not at all pretentious like other brothel girls, so he unconsciously glanced at her more, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the shocking scars on her snow-white arms.In fact, there are all kinds of people who come to the brothel, and some of them are some psychopathic customers. Therefore, Nan Lie doesn't think it's strange that the brothel girls are whipped. Thinking about it carefully, they are also a group of poor people. If they are not forced by life, It will definitely not fall to this point.
Just as Nan Lie was contemplating, Mei Xue noticed his eyes, she hurriedly rolled up her sleeves to cover the scars and carefully apologized to Nan Lie: "I'm sorry, I forgot that my rotten flesh has affected my appetite .”
"I'm fine, you still eat goose legs with a wound?" Nan Lie asked.
"Eat! Being a human being is so hard, of course you have to treat yourself better." Miyuki replied indifferently.
Afterwards, Nan Lie stopped talking to her. He guessed that maybe she was used to this kind of life long ago.
This night, Nan Lie didn't return to Yushi's mansion until the hour of Hai. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Teng Zhen coming out of the study room. The two looked at each other. He said behind his back: "Go drink flower wine just after killing people, you are insensitive!"
Nan Lie turned his head and said in his cold tone, "You stopped me just to say that?"
"You clearly heard that Ms. Shen still has questions to ask Shenzong Ichiro, why do you want to cut them down?"
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, unless there is a natural or man-made disaster, there must be no mistakes." After Nan Lie finished speaking, he wanted to go back to his room.Unexpectedly, Teng Zhen strode up to him and said: "Miss Shen just wants to know her lover's heart before he dies..."
"So what if you know? The knife cuts off the head, and life and death are forever, so what if she knows the truth?" Nan Lie asked back.
"Whether it is meaningful or not is not up to you!"
"When that person dies is not up to you!" This time, Nan Lie walked into his room without looking back.Leaving Teng Zhen behind his back, he said loudly: "Nan Lie, you are so cruel!" After finishing speaking, he went back to his room angrily.But neither of the two people who were in a mood realized that there was a pair of eyes on the roof watching their every move...
☆, baby
As the capital of Daqi, Shanghe City is indeed very lively. In addition to the ten-mile long street lined with shops and busy traffic, there are also singers selling and singing on the streets, acrobats performing at the end of the street, and acrobats performing tricks at the entrance of Yipin Building!
That's right, this Caiju master is exactly the one Nan Lie met in Tianxiang Building yesterday.I saw him put a tael of silver into a cup, then buckle this cup together with the other two identical cups, and then quickly move the position between the cups.After everyone was dazzled, he asked the audience to guess which cup the ingot of silver was in.
On a whim, Fujima wanted to make a big difference with his little one, and just about to take out the money, he heard someone calling his name not far away.
It turned out that it was the servant of Wang Yuanwai's mansion who came to the line for consultation that day. He said that Wang Yuanwai was suffering from stomach cramps at this time, so he asked Tengzhen to go quickly.Tengzhen had no choice but to order Xiaolian to go back to the mansion to take care of Caizi, while he followed his family to the palace ten miles outside the city.
The weather in late autumn is like this. It was fine in the morning, but it began to rain in the evening.However, speaking of it, it was really thanks to the rain, otherwise, Nan Lie would not have known that someone had already been spying on them secretly.
It turned out that after Nan Lie came back from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he walked into his room, and when he was about to drink water, he found that the roof was leaking.So he, who has always been cautious, walked out of the room and jumped onto the roof, wanting to find out.As a result, he found that the tiles on the roof had indeed been moved, and the spy had left a red footprint beside the tiles.Nan Lie stood where the footprints were and looked down, just in time to see Xiaolian serving Caizi to take the medicine.Nan Lie was startled, could it be that someone has already discovered Caizi's whereabouts?
After Nan Lie jumped off the roof, he wanted to tell Caizi, but in the corridor, he met Xiaolian who was about to go out with an umbrella.
Xiaolian told him that Tengzhen left in a hurry when he visited the doctor in the morning and did not bring an umbrella, so he was going to go out to deliver an umbrella to him.
Nan Lie felt that it was inappropriate for a girl to go out at night, so he took the umbrella from Xiao Lian and told her that he would go for her.
Xiao Lian was overjoyed to see someone volunteering to give Teng Zhen an umbrella, and thanked her repeatedly.
But in this way, wouldn't it be only myself and Caizi left in the family?Of course, Nan Lie also thought of this, so he gave the dagger hidden in the calf to Xiaolian, and took care of her, if there was any movement at home, remember to hide Caizi in the woodshed.
After Xiaolian answered, Nan Lie went out with an umbrella...
It was raining continuously at night, and the road was full of potholes. Fujima was walking on the muddy mountain road, wearing a cloak, carrying a lantern in one hand and a medical kit in the other.Perhaps it was because the sky was getting dark and the night wind was majestic, and the sound of humming from the grass made him always feel like being followed, so he felt more and more that the mountain road, which was not difficult to walk in the past, was extremely rough today.Under this kind of psychological trouble, he couldn't help speeding up his pace.
Suddenly he felt someone pat him on the shoulder from behind, and he turned around abruptly, only to realize that it was none other than Nan Lie who appeared behind him.
"I thought who was following me, it turned out to be you, you scared me to death." Fujima blamed.
Seeing that Tengzhen was alone, Nan Lie asked, "It's so late, didn't they send you off?"
"No, I boiled the medicine for Wang Yuanwai, that's why I got it until now. Besides, what can happen to a man walking at night?" After finishing speaking, Teng Zhen saw an oil-paper umbrella under Nan Lie's arm, So he asked, "Did you come to pick me up on purpose?"
Nan Lie nodded.
This silent answer made Teng really feel warm, remembering that he was still blaming him for being cruel yesterday, but today he ignored the past and came to the mountain to pick him up with an umbrella.Does the iceberg have a human side?
Along the way, the rain was much lighter. Nan Lie told Fujima that when he went up to the roof today, he found that the roof tiles had been moved, and there was a blood-red footprint beside it.But Fuji really didn't care, he told Nan Lie that Master Huaxing had asked a plasterer to repair the roof before, so it's not surprising that he left footprints. At the end, Fuji really went around Nan Lie again, saying that he must have killed too many people , That's why they are so suspicious.No, he came out to pick up someone at night and still carried his beheading knife on his back, but Nan Lie ignored him.
The two of them chatted without saying a word. As they walked, they suddenly found a big mud puddle in front of them.The two walked forward out of curiosity.
When I got closer, I found a pregnant woman lying inside.The doctor's parents were heartbroken, and Tengzhen immediately jumped into the mud pit to rescue the pregnant woman. Seeing this, Nan Lie also jumped down with him.
After some hard work, the two carried the pregnant woman out of the mud pit. Unfortunately, the pregnant woman had died.
With a sense of luck, Tengzhen went to the pregnant woman's abdomen and listened. Unexpectedly, he heard the heartbeat of the fetus. Tengzhen was very excited and said to Nan Lie: "The child is still alive, still alive."
But Nan Lie frowned and said to him: "This woman is already dead, how can she give birth to this child?"
Teng Zhen raised his head and looked at Nan Lie, yes, the pregnant woman is already dead, if this child continues like this, I am afraid there will only be a dead end. Suddenly, he noticed the soul-breaking knife on Nan Lie's back, so he made up his mind Said: "Cesarean section!"
Nan Lie hesitated, he had never done this kind of thing before, he didn't even think about it, he told Tengzhen that this matter was very unusual, and it was better to stay out of it.But Fujima didn't follow him, Fujima blamed him for being so cruel, and he would not save him?If he doesn't save her, then he doesn't care about Caizi's affairs.
As expected, the move of threatening Nan Lie with Cai Zi was the right move.Nan Lie couldn't resist him and agreed to use the knife, but before he did so, he asked Tengzhen to promise him one thing, that is, after the child was rescued, he would obey him in how to deal with the child.
At this time, Tengzhen was already in a state of anxiety, nodded his head repeatedly, and then told him: "The knife is three points deep, don't hurt the child."
……
Just like that, the child's cry shattered the silence in the mountain, and at the same time drove away the panic in Teng's heart, which almost made him shed tears with excitement.He immediately took off his cloak and wrapped the child well, then left here with Nan Lie.It's just that the two of them didn't notice at this time, the man in black who witnessed all this in the bushes...
Fuji really couldn't put it down for this child. Since he took the child home, his eyes have never left the child.No, from early morning to now, he has been holding the child to make him laugh.He vaguely remembered that Huaxing once told him that he wanted to adopt a child that belonged to him and himself, but unfortunately, Huaxing passed away before meeting such a fate.For a moment, Fuji really wanted to adopt this child and leave a descendant for Hanakata.However, after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. The child's mother was killed, and Teng really knew the feeling of losing a close relative, so he felt that before the relationship between himself and the child had been established, the child The most correct way is to return it to that family, so he said to Nan Lie who was pacing up and down in front of him: "Let's take the child to the Yamen to report to the officials."
Nan Lie looked and looked at the few pieces of jewelry he found from the pregnant woman, and finally picked up a hosta and said, "No, this child's origin is unknown, his mother offended someone, and was killed, what is behind this?" You and I don't know what kind of conspiracy is hidden, if you rashly provoke someone from the government, you will be in trouble if you get Caizi involved."
"What a mess, their mother and son just encountered bandits, how can you exaggerate it like you said." Teng Zhen said indifferently.
Nan Lie disagreed with his statement. He told Teng Zhen that based on two points alone, he could conclude that this murder case was definitely not an ordinary robbery: [-]. Although the child's mother was dressed in ordinary clothes, the ornaments on her head and her feet The embroidered shoes on the clothes are all high-quality goods, which shows that she wants to conceal her identity;
Teng Zhen looked up at him, and thought it was really funny, so he said: "The Yushi Mansion is not an inn, and there are no rooms for rent. If it is a consultation fee, it is not enough."
"Then how much do you say?" Nan Lie asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it!" Fujima replied.
"Have you seen Caizi this morning?" Nan Lie asked again.
"When to see her, I have my own idea, I don't need you, an outsider, to point out!" Teng Zhen replied angrily, but he couldn't laugh or cry at Nan Lie's straightforward question without polite language.
Nan Lie could hear the reproach in his tone, so he stopped talking, greeted him and went out.
After he left, Fujima caught a glimpse of Xiaolian coming out of the room from the corner of his eye, and saw that Xiaolian was still rubbing her neck, so he took the silver and said to Xiaolian: "He knocked you out yesterday. You take the ingot. He will pay you."
When Xiaolian saw that there was money to be collected, Xiao Lian immediately beamed with joy. After thanking Fujima, she went to the kitchen to decoct medicine for Caizi.
Just do what you say, after breakfast, Fujima came to Ayako's room.Put down the medicine box, wash your hands, and feel the pulse. The pulse is peaceful, so Fujima said: "I don't know why you can't find Wen Po, but he asked me to push your belly for you. Don't you mind?"
Caizi laughed dryly after hearing this, and said, "It's a matter of life and death, why are there so many long-winded rules?"
"Okay, let's start." Fujima put his hands flat on her abdomen, and then gently pushed her stomach up. He told Caizi that he was not very proficient, but he had seen other women doing this before, so I can only imitate their methods and give it a try. I hope Caizi doesn't mind.
Caizi was unexpectedly forthright, not only didn't mind, but also thanked her repeatedly.
Fujima told her that in fact, reverse birth is not the most troublesome thing. What is more troublesome than reverse birth is cross birth, where the child comes out first, and side birth, whose head is tilted to one side, and the most dangerous thing is obstruction of labor, umbilical cord climbing shoulders Those around the neck.
After hearing this, Caizi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking about how lucky she was to meet a doctor like Fujima, maybe it was because of the blessing of her husband's spirit in heaven.
Fuji really understood that it was impossible to inquire about the situation from Nan Lie, so after pushing belly, he helped Caizi to the table, poured her a glass of water, and asked carefully: "What are he and you? relation?"
Caizi sighed, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I am a fugitive..."
It turned out that Caizi Inoue's husband was named Mumu Gongyan, who was Daqi's minister of rites. He was sentenced for boldly speaking, persuading the current emperor not to be too obsessed with masculinity, and to use the money from the construction of "Fengya Palace" for disaster relief in Guanzhong. He was sentenced to beheading, and his family was sent to the frontier.Caizi said: "My husband has been a man of integrity all his life. He knows that loyal words are harsh, but he still insists on remonstrance. That's why he ended up like this."
Caizi's heartfelt words really made Teng Zhenxin feel pity, and he comforted: "Some men only have a country in their hearts, but no home. It's really pitiful that Mr. Mu Mu left you, one big and one small, and no one cares about them."
"No, my husband didn't know that I was pregnant with his flesh and blood at the time. In order to save his child, I pretended to have a stomachache and took the opportunity to escape on the way to the border. I walked along the mountain road for an unknown number of days..." When Caizi said this, her expression darkened.
Teng Zhen took a sip of tea and continued: "After you are Zhongliang, why is Nan Lie still so secretive?"
"He is just like this, he is cautious in everything." Caizi replied, but her tone was cold and cruel.
"Are you familiar with him?" Fujima asked.
"If I had a choice, I'd rather never meet this person in my life." Having said that, Caizi could not hold back her tears after all.
Tengzhen didn't know why, he felt that Nanlie cared about Caizi very much, but Caizi told him that it was because he owed their mother and son, and then she told Fujima about meeting Nanlie in the ruined temple.Only then did Tengzhen believe that Nan Lie hadn't lied, he really saved Master Huaxing.It's just that when Fujima was about to ask Caizi who Nan Lie was, there was a commotion at the door.
Fujima immediately let Caizi avoid, and then stepped forward to open the door.
The person who came was none other than Mitsui Shou, the jailer of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Mitsui told Fujima that a prisoner came to the prison with a malignant sore. He was very uncomfortable and cried out in pain, but it happened that the person in the prison who knew medical skills had a rest, so in desperation, he had no choice but to come here , ask him to go see a doctor.
Where is the cell?That is the gathering place of Yin Qi, Yang Qi, bad Qi, and bad luck. Mitsui is the king's salary, and his responsibility is unavoidable.I am just a commoner, so I can avoid it if I can. Thinking of this, Tengzhen shook his head harder than a rattle.
However, Mitsui is not a fuel-efficient lamp, insisting on "persuading each other with good words" and stalking, finally abducted Fujima to the cell, and Fujima finally knew who Nan Lie was!
☆, autumn decision
Facts have proved that Fujima has a good understanding of the prison. As soon as he stepped into the prison, he saw a crazy prisoner rushing towards him.Mitsui couldn't react in time and almost fell down. At this time, a powerful figure of Kong Wu appeared. After a few moves with the prisoner, he finally used a shadowless kick to beat the prisoner to the ground.Then, the surrounding government servants immediately stepped forward to subdue the prisoner.
After Teng Zhen eased his emotions, he took a closer look, and it was none other than Nan Lie who saved him!
At this time, Tokuo, the yamen servant, reported to Mitsui: "Boss, you went out early today, so I didn't come in a hurry to report to you. He is the new executioner, named Nan Lie."
Executioner! ?
Fuji really finally understood why he always felt that Nan Lie was weird but couldn't tell what was wrong. The reason was because of his innate murderous aura, which made people shudder!
Seeing that the new executioner was Nan Lie, Mitsui was overjoyed for a moment, and immediately invited them to the front hall for tea.
After the three came to the front hall, they chatted. It turned out that Nan Lie was Mitsui's childhood playmate.Because Mitsui's fighting skills have always been good, so he helped him a few times, and just like that, the two got to know each other and became good friends.It's a pity that in the next few years, successive years of natural disasters caused fewer and fewer medicinal materials to be collected on the mountain, and the Nan family opened a medicine shop. In the end, the two of them parted ways as a last resort.
However, Mitsui did not expect that Nan Lie would become an executioner. When he asked how long Nan Lie had been a cabinet hand, Nan Lie told him that it was ten years!
ten years! ?After hearing this, Tengzhen said in surprise: "If ten people are killed in a year, wouldn't it be a hundred in ten years?"
"To be more specific, it's 240 two!" Nan Lie blurted out.
"The head was cut off, bloody, aren't you afraid?" Fujima asked.
Mitsui didn't wait for Nan Lie to answer, and immediately asked Fujima: "Then when you bandaged someone's wound, isn't it also bloody? Why aren't you afraid? Besides, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Everyone is walking towards death step by step from birth. "
"What's the same? I'm saving people, but he's killing people. If you act like this, then everyone should stop being human?" Fujima said.
"Of course not, what I mean is that life is short, so we should cherish every day we live." After Mitsui finished speaking, he suggested to Nan Lie to go out to get together at night, but Nan Lie replied flatly: "Let's talk. "After that, I asked Mitsui for a list of prisoners who will be judged this autumn, and then accompanied by Mitsui, I went to the cell with Fujima.
The No.1 of this year's autumn judging is named Shenzong Ichiro, a scholar, because he killed someone by mistake, he was sentenced to beheaded.However, in the past few days, the yamen servant found that he had a malignant sore on his body. He was worried that he would die of poison before the autumn judgment, so he asked Fujima to come and apply some medicine for him.
After applying the medicine, the yamen servant escorted Shenzong Ichiro to kneel down in front of Nan Lie.
Nan Lie stepped forward, brushed his hair loose on his back, then measured his neck with his fingers, and said to the yamen servant beside him: "The neck is four and a half fingers long, and the knife is two and a half fingers long." After saying this, He nodded to indicate that the yamen servant can take him back to the cell.
At this time, a yamen servant came to report that the maid, Xiao Lian, was waiting in the front hall at this time, and said that Teng Zhen had to go back quickly because of something urgent.
After a group of people left the cell in a hurry, the cell suddenly became quieter.
Nan Lie said to the prisoner Shenzong Yilang: "If you cut your head with a knife, you have nothing to worry about. It's the rules of the school. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can do it for you. Only one thing!"
Ah Shen raised his head, looked at Nan Lie for a while through his disheveled and dry hair, and finally said, "Why did God treat me like this? What did I do wrong? Is it wrong to be born in a humble background? Or is it wrong to love someone?"
"It was your fault for killing someone!" Nan Lie replied.
"I don't want to!" God said.
It turned out that a year ago, when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he met bandits on his way, and all his money was looted.When he was living on the street, Shen Qiuyuan, the only daughter of Shen Yuanwai in the east of the city, extended a helping hand to him.
Ms. Akimoto not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a gentle personality. Not only did she help Shenzong Ichiro solve the problem of going to Beijing to rush for the exam, but she also helped him with all the board and lodging along the way, hoping that he can go to high school.In the day-to-day confrontation, they hit it off and fell in love with each other.
However, when Yuanwai Shen learned of all this, he was furious and vowed to beat the pair of fateful mandarin ducks with a stick.So they thought of elopement, but unfortunately, they were still discovered by outsiders and sent servants to intercept them, which led to a fight. …
"But that person did die because of you!" Nan Lie said to God.
God lowered his head after hearing this, as if regretting a bit, he said to himself: "What should I do to avoid all this? If Qiu Yuan and I had an appointment an hour earlier, or the clouds in the sky were not so thick at that time, Or at that time, the torch should not be blown out by the wind..."
"Or would it be better if you never met Miss Akimoto?".
Nan Lie's words were like a basin of cold water pouring Ah Shen from head to toe.With a wry smile, he raised his head and asked Nan Lie, "Are you really willing to fulfill my wish?"
"Don't kill living beings, don't break the law, don't violate morality, don't go against the laws of nature, live and die, one knife for one thing!" Nan Lie replied.
After hearing this, God thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I want the Four Treasures of the Study..."
"Infatuation hurts, hidden in silent tears; life and death are boundless, but it's hard to be a couple..."
After Fujima followed Xiaolian to Shen's house, he found out that Miss Shen Qiuyuan attempted to commit suicide by cutting her wrists this morning. After she was found to stop her, she kept leaning against the wall in the corner of the boudoir, chanting words, but after many recitations, only this sentence.
Seeing this situation, Teng Zhen couldn't help frowning, and then stepped forward to check the injury on her wrist. Fortunately, the blood from the wound had already solidified, and her hands and feet were not cold, and her muscles did not twitch. Phenomenon, it should be nothing serious.
So Fujima applied the self-made Jinchuang medicine to Miss Akimoto's wound, and then carefully bandaged it up for her.
After some instructions, member Shen sent Teng Zhen out of the Shen family.Fujimahara didn't want to ask more, but suicide, there is always a reason that is harder to give up than transcending life and death, so he still couldn't help asking.
Shen Yuanwai sighed, and said: "The family is unfortunate!" Then, he told Fujima how his daughter fell in love with Shenzong Ichiro and how they eloped...
Unexpectedly, in a world of peace and prosperity, such a tragedy would happen.Walking on the way home, Fujima couldn't help sighing in his heart: Without the order of his parents, without the words of a matchmaker, the love between Shenzong Ichiro and Shen Qiuyuan can only be reduced to a matchless affair under the secular ethics. My own experience is so similar, it can even be said that the past between myself and Huaxing is far more cast aside by the world than their love, but the ending is quite different.
Fujima suddenly felt how lucky he was, lucky to have a reasonable father, and lucky to have a reasonable father, which allowed the deviant love between them to bloom, even though he and Hanakata spent time together It's not long, but the memories left are enough for him to have a good thought in the endless days to come...
Back home, Fujima saw that it was getting late, so he took the time to go to the wing to visit Caizi.
Caizi's complexion was obviously much better than when she first came to Yushi's Mansion. Seeing that she was having dinner, Fujima chatted with her.
The two were chatting, Nan Lie came back, and he saw that Fujima was there, so he asked him if the belly pushing went smoothly, and Fujima told him that everything was as he expected, and the situation was good.After Nan Lie heard this, he nodded slightly, and then said: "Tomorrow morning at Yinshi, I will go to the Ministry of Punishment, and Caizi will be handed over to you."
"So early? Why?" Fujima asked.
"Because tomorrow is the first day of the Autumn Judgment..."
Before Nan Lie finished speaking, Caizi put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
Seeing that she was eating too little, Fujima told her to eat more, otherwise she would have no strength during delivery.Nai Caizi is also stubborn, she said: "I feel like throwing up when I think of someone with blood on their hands." The implication is that she is talking about Nan Lie. If it offends your appetite, I'm going out." After speaking, he exited the room and closed the door.
At night, when Teng Zhen passed the yard, he saw Nan Lie put the soul-destroying knife used for execution on the incense table that had already been arranged in the yard.Then lit incense and candles, and finally kowtowed three times to the soul-breaking knife.
After worshiping, he picked up the knife and sharpened it on the whetstone that had been prepared.
The creaking sound made by the friction between the metal and the stone made Fujima, who was peeping from the side, terrified...
☆, Brothel
At noon the next day, Tengzhen and Xiaolian were invited to go to Yuanwai Shen's mansion again to check Miss Qiuyuan's wound.Arriving outside Miss Qiuyuan's boudoir, Tengzhen suddenly found several servants standing on both sides of the boudoir. This situation seemed to put Shen Qiuyuan under house arrest.
Fujima and Xiaolian walked into the room, and after saying hello, they checked Miss Akimoto's wound. The wound was fine, but her mental state seemed to be worse than yesterday.
Fujima casually asked the reason, but Qiuyuan didn't say a word, but just sent a letter to him, which read: Ten years of hard work, when Yixin Jinbang was nominated, God met Qiuyuan by chance, and it was rare for a woman to fall in his arms, with deep affection Secretly promised, covetously, abandoning the right path, taking shortcuts, delusional to gain both money and wealth.It's a pity that I made a mistake and lost all the games. Now I'm in prison, and I regret that I didn't do it. The so-called beauty has been a disaster since ancient times. I don't know the holy words, so stupid.Is Shen Qiuyuan a treasure house descended from heaven? I hate the King of Hades for asking for his life. I wasted my entire life of wisdom. I plan carefully. After elopement, I will take away her chastity and ruin her reputation. When the time comes, I will send letters and threats, want to take people, take ransom, and throw them away The mandarin duck pillow is irrelevant from now on.
After reading it, Fujima put down the letter, only to hear Qiu Yuan say: "Although the handwriting is God's, but I have experienced so much with him, and I know him very well. I don't believe a word in the letter!"
In fact, only the person involved knows best about the relationship. Akimoto said that God may have been forced to write this letter or because of some inhumane reasons. Fujima thinks this is also possible.What's more, he saw Qiu Yuan was so persistent, so he asked her what her plan was.Akimoto didn't hide from him, and told him directly that she was going to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask Shen Zongichiro, but how to escape from this boudoir, she had to do her a favor...
The autumn wind is bleak, and the streets are full of fallen leaves. The execution ground in the western suburbs of Shanghe City, the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom, is heavily fortified again.
After autumn is always the season for execution, the people of Shanghe City have long been familiar with it, whether they say they are ruthless or indifferent, they surrounded the execution ground with the mood of watching the excitement.
The time has come, Nan Lie walked up with the soul-breaking knife.
Suddenly, a clear voice sounded: "God, I believe you are true to me, don't you? Answer me?"
Ah Shen immediately turned his head and saw Qiu Yuan in the crowd streaming down his face.
It turned out that Tengzhen used a trick to get Shen Qiuyuan to put on Xiaolian's clothes and sneak out of Shen's residence.
"Is that right, God?" Qiu Yuan asked loudly again.
Helpless, Ah Shen didn't speak, but after looking at Qiu Yuan affectionately, he turned his head and looked at Nan Lie with a smile. He knew that Nan Lie didn't lie to him, and really sent the letter to Qiu Yuan. With this letter, God In Shen Qiuyuan's heart, Zong Yilang was a prodigal son who deserved his death.Only in this way can Shen Qiuyuan have a reason not to be sad anymore, and have the courage to face the future...
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and at the critical moment, no matter how much Qiuyuan cried, Nan Lie waved the soul-breaking knife in his hand without hesitation, and chopped it down...
"There is no wronged soul under the knife of breaking the soul, hitting the board and cutting the head is even, the resentment of life and death turns into smoke, and the evil spirit is retreated..."
After finishing speaking, Mitsui hit Nan Lie's back several times with the board.This is the rule of the executioner's profession, in order to wash away the guilt of the executioner.
After the memorial ceremony, Mitsui held a small red envelope, handed it to Nan Lie and said, "After receiving the bonus gift, all bad luck will be washed away."
Nan Lie took the red envelope and thanked him.
Afterwards, Mitsui proposed to everyone to go to Tianxiang Tower for dinner at night, take a bath to get rid of bad luck, and then help Nan Lie clean up the dust. In short, he will cover all expenses.
As soon as everyone heard that it was time to drink flower wine, they immediately got excited, surrounded Nan Lie in a bluff, and left the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
This was Nan Lie's first visit to Tianxiang Tower, but he had never been interested in these things, so he was sitting in the pile of makeup with a few brothers from the yamen at this time, still with a straight face, without any expression.On the other hand, the yamen servants and Mitsui had already started hugging left and right, and they couldn't think of leaving.
While eating, the laughter at the neighboring table caught Nan Lie's attention.It turned out that at some time, a playwright came to the brothel and was doing tricks at the next table, which attracted applause from everyone.
Nan Lie never liked making noise, just when he was about to get away, the theater artist walked over to him, then swung his cloak on his chest, and then pulled out a stick from the front of his chest Red silk.The crowd couldn't help being applauded again and again by his performance.
I only heard the theater master say to Nan Lie: "Is this brother going to leave? I still have a lot of good performances."
Nan Lie glanced at him and said bluntly, "I'm not interested in juggling. I won't believe it if it's true or not."
The colorist saw that his nose was ashamed, so he left.On the other hand, Mitsui, seeing that Nan Lie was about to leave, immediately stepped forward to persuade him that there are still many interesting things to do here, besides, he has asked the old bustard here, Aunt Gui, to open a room for Nan Lie, and when the time comes, there will be a girl to serve him comfortably Clothes.So everyone also stepped forward to agree, saying that it was a bath to wash away the bad luck, and then let the girl sleep with her comfortably for the night, not to mention how cool it was.
Seeing everyone's good intentions, Nan Lie couldn't resist, so he followed the old bustard, Aunt Gui, up to the second floor.
In the business of selling jokes, what I learned the most is how to flatter. Aunt Gui babbled a lot along the way: "The girls in our Tianxianglou are all beautiful..."
But Nan Lie ruthlessly interrupted: "I'm here to eat."
"Of course it's okay to eat, the most famous thing here is..."
"I want three bowls of rice." Nan Lie interrupted her again.
Aunt Gui gave him a sideways look, and immediately felt bored, so she said, "Okay, there's no problem if you want a bucket."
……
The upper room that Aunt Gui arranged for Nan Lie was at the end of the corridor on the second floor. When passing by another upper room, Nan Lie happened to hear the endless laughter inside, and then saw a girl in revealing clothes being pushed by a middle-aged man with a greasy hair and powder face. The man walked out of the room with his arms in his arms.However, Nan Lie has always adhered to the idea of not asking questions, so he followed Aunt Gui to the upper room that belonged to him without asking anything.
As soon as Nan Lie walked into the room, a girl followed him in. Nan Lie saw that it was the girl who was hugged by the middle-aged man just now.The girl closed the door, walked up to Nan Lie, made a blessing, and said: "Little girl Miyuki Sakuragi, I wonder what the name of this master is?"
"I don't need it, girl." Nan Lie refused bluntly.
But Meixue didn't intend to give up at this point, she told Nanlie that she knew a lot of tricks, do you want to try?Nan Lie was annoyed by her persistence, so he said decisively: "Go out, I want to be alone!"
Seeing his tough attitude, Miyuki thought that maybe he really felt that he was an eyesore.But she couldn't just leave like this, she told Nan Lie gently that if she went out now, Aunt Gui would definitely say that she had been obedient to others again.Seeing that Nan Lie stopped talking, she suggested: "Master, why don't you just pretend that you can't see me and let me sit here for a while."
"Just for a while!" Nan Lie said.
"Thank you, sir!" Miyuki sat down happily.
At this time Xiao Er pushed open the door and brought in the food, saying that Mitsui ordered it for Nan Lie.
Seeing that Nan Lieguang ate rice instead of vegetables, Meixue couldn't help but feel a little pity.But the brothel has the rules of the brothel, the girl can only greet the guests to eat, but can't touch the guests' meals.Therefore, Miyuki could only stare blankly and swallow her saliva when she looked at the fat and tender pork and the delicious chicken.
It was Nan Lie. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Mei Xue who seemed to be very hungry, so he said to her, "Eat what you want."
With Nan Lie's approval, Meixue immediately grabbed a chicken leg and said, "Then I'm sorry, I'm so hungry."
When Nan Lie saw that she ate deliciously, and asked her if it was really delicious, Meixue blurted out that everything was delicious when she was hungry. After she finished speaking, she realized that this statement was biased, and immediately corrected it: "We have a little food in Tianxianglou It's not worse than Yipinlou. Don't you really want to try it?" After speaking, Miyuki rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her hand and pulled the goose legs off the plate, and began to eat with relish.
Nan Lie suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was quick-talking and not at all pretentious like other brothel girls, so he unconsciously glanced at her more, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the shocking scars on her snow-white arms.In fact, there are all kinds of people who come to the brothel, and some of them are some psychopathic customers. Therefore, Nan Lie doesn't think it's strange that the brothel girls are whipped. Thinking about it carefully, they are also a group of poor people. If they are not forced by life, It will definitely not fall to this point.
Just as Nan Lie was contemplating, Mei Xue noticed his eyes, she hurriedly rolled up her sleeves to cover the scars and carefully apologized to Nan Lie: "I'm sorry, I forgot that my rotten flesh has affected my appetite .”
"I'm fine, you still eat goose legs with a wound?" Nan Lie asked.
"Eat! Being a human being is so hard, of course you have to treat yourself better." Miyuki replied indifferently.
Afterwards, Nan Lie stopped talking to her. He guessed that maybe she was used to this kind of life long ago.
This night, Nan Lie didn't return to Yushi's mansion until the hour of Hai. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Teng Zhen coming out of the study room. The two looked at each other. He said behind his back: "Go drink flower wine just after killing people, you are insensitive!"
Nan Lie turned his head and said in his cold tone, "You stopped me just to say that?"
"You clearly heard that Ms. Shen still has questions to ask Shenzong Ichiro, why do you want to cut them down?"
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, unless there is a natural or man-made disaster, there must be no mistakes." After Nan Lie finished speaking, he wanted to go back to his room.Unexpectedly, Teng Zhen strode up to him and said: "Miss Shen just wants to know her lover's heart before he dies..."
"So what if you know? The knife cuts off the head, and life and death are forever, so what if she knows the truth?" Nan Lie asked back.
"Whether it is meaningful or not is not up to you!"
"When that person dies is not up to you!" This time, Nan Lie walked into his room without looking back.Leaving Teng Zhen behind his back, he said loudly: "Nan Lie, you are so cruel!" After finishing speaking, he went back to his room angrily.But neither of the two people who were in a mood realized that there was a pair of eyes on the roof watching their every move...
☆, baby
As the capital of Daqi, Shanghe City is indeed very lively. In addition to the ten-mile long street lined with shops and busy traffic, there are also singers selling and singing on the streets, acrobats performing at the end of the street, and acrobats performing tricks at the entrance of Yipin Building!
That's right, this Caiju master is exactly the one Nan Lie met in Tianxiang Building yesterday.I saw him put a tael of silver into a cup, then buckle this cup together with the other two identical cups, and then quickly move the position between the cups.After everyone was dazzled, he asked the audience to guess which cup the ingot of silver was in.
On a whim, Fujima wanted to make a big difference with his little one, and just about to take out the money, he heard someone calling his name not far away.
It turned out that it was the servant of Wang Yuanwai's mansion who came to the line for consultation that day. He said that Wang Yuanwai was suffering from stomach cramps at this time, so he asked Tengzhen to go quickly.Tengzhen had no choice but to order Xiaolian to go back to the mansion to take care of Caizi, while he followed his family to the palace ten miles outside the city.
The weather in late autumn is like this. It was fine in the morning, but it began to rain in the evening.However, speaking of it, it was really thanks to the rain, otherwise, Nan Lie would not have known that someone had already been spying on them secretly.
It turned out that after Nan Lie came back from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he walked into his room, and when he was about to drink water, he found that the roof was leaking.So he, who has always been cautious, walked out of the room and jumped onto the roof, wanting to find out.As a result, he found that the tiles on the roof had indeed been moved, and the spy had left a red footprint beside the tiles.Nan Lie stood where the footprints were and looked down, just in time to see Xiaolian serving Caizi to take the medicine.Nan Lie was startled, could it be that someone has already discovered Caizi's whereabouts?
After Nan Lie jumped off the roof, he wanted to tell Caizi, but in the corridor, he met Xiaolian who was about to go out with an umbrella.
Xiaolian told him that Tengzhen left in a hurry when he visited the doctor in the morning and did not bring an umbrella, so he was going to go out to deliver an umbrella to him.
Nan Lie felt that it was inappropriate for a girl to go out at night, so he took the umbrella from Xiao Lian and told her that he would go for her.
Xiao Lian was overjoyed to see someone volunteering to give Teng Zhen an umbrella, and thanked her repeatedly.
But in this way, wouldn't it be only myself and Caizi left in the family?Of course, Nan Lie also thought of this, so he gave the dagger hidden in the calf to Xiaolian, and took care of her, if there was any movement at home, remember to hide Caizi in the woodshed.
After Xiaolian answered, Nan Lie went out with an umbrella...
It was raining continuously at night, and the road was full of potholes. Fujima was walking on the muddy mountain road, wearing a cloak, carrying a lantern in one hand and a medical kit in the other.Perhaps it was because the sky was getting dark and the night wind was majestic, and the sound of humming from the grass made him always feel like being followed, so he felt more and more that the mountain road, which was not difficult to walk in the past, was extremely rough today.Under this kind of psychological trouble, he couldn't help speeding up his pace.
Suddenly he felt someone pat him on the shoulder from behind, and he turned around abruptly, only to realize that it was none other than Nan Lie who appeared behind him.
"I thought who was following me, it turned out to be you, you scared me to death." Fujima blamed.
Seeing that Tengzhen was alone, Nan Lie asked, "It's so late, didn't they send you off?"
"No, I boiled the medicine for Wang Yuanwai, that's why I got it until now. Besides, what can happen to a man walking at night?" After finishing speaking, Teng Zhen saw an oil-paper umbrella under Nan Lie's arm, So he asked, "Did you come to pick me up on purpose?"
Nan Lie nodded.
This silent answer made Teng really feel warm, remembering that he was still blaming him for being cruel yesterday, but today he ignored the past and came to the mountain to pick him up with an umbrella.Does the iceberg have a human side?
Along the way, the rain was much lighter. Nan Lie told Fujima that when he went up to the roof today, he found that the roof tiles had been moved, and there was a blood-red footprint beside it.But Fuji really didn't care, he told Nan Lie that Master Huaxing had asked a plasterer to repair the roof before, so it's not surprising that he left footprints. At the end, Fuji really went around Nan Lie again, saying that he must have killed too many people , That's why they are so suspicious.No, he came out to pick up someone at night and still carried his beheading knife on his back, but Nan Lie ignored him.
The two of them chatted without saying a word. As they walked, they suddenly found a big mud puddle in front of them.The two walked forward out of curiosity.
When I got closer, I found a pregnant woman lying inside.The doctor's parents were heartbroken, and Tengzhen immediately jumped into the mud pit to rescue the pregnant woman. Seeing this, Nan Lie also jumped down with him.
After some hard work, the two carried the pregnant woman out of the mud pit. Unfortunately, the pregnant woman had died.
With a sense of luck, Tengzhen went to the pregnant woman's abdomen and listened. Unexpectedly, he heard the heartbeat of the fetus. Tengzhen was very excited and said to Nan Lie: "The child is still alive, still alive."
But Nan Lie frowned and said to him: "This woman is already dead, how can she give birth to this child?"
Teng Zhen raised his head and looked at Nan Lie, yes, the pregnant woman is already dead, if this child continues like this, I am afraid there will only be a dead end. Suddenly, he noticed the soul-breaking knife on Nan Lie's back, so he made up his mind Said: "Cesarean section!"
Nan Lie hesitated, he had never done this kind of thing before, he didn't even think about it, he told Tengzhen that this matter was very unusual, and it was better to stay out of it.But Fujima didn't follow him, Fujima blamed him for being so cruel, and he would not save him?If he doesn't save her, then he doesn't care about Caizi's affairs.
As expected, the move of threatening Nan Lie with Cai Zi was the right move.Nan Lie couldn't resist him and agreed to use the knife, but before he did so, he asked Tengzhen to promise him one thing, that is, after the child was rescued, he would obey him in how to deal with the child.
At this time, Tengzhen was already in a state of anxiety, nodded his head repeatedly, and then told him: "The knife is three points deep, don't hurt the child."
……
Just like that, the child's cry shattered the silence in the mountain, and at the same time drove away the panic in Teng's heart, which almost made him shed tears with excitement.He immediately took off his cloak and wrapped the child well, then left here with Nan Lie.It's just that the two of them didn't notice at this time, the man in black who witnessed all this in the bushes...
Fuji really couldn't put it down for this child. Since he took the child home, his eyes have never left the child.No, from early morning to now, he has been holding the child to make him laugh.He vaguely remembered that Huaxing once told him that he wanted to adopt a child that belonged to him and himself, but unfortunately, Huaxing passed away before meeting such a fate.For a moment, Fuji really wanted to adopt this child and leave a descendant for Hanakata.However, after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. The child's mother was killed, and Teng really knew the feeling of losing a close relative, so he felt that before the relationship between himself and the child had been established, the child The most correct way is to return it to that family, so he said to Nan Lie who was pacing up and down in front of him: "Let's take the child to the Yamen to report to the officials."
Nan Lie looked and looked at the few pieces of jewelry he found from the pregnant woman, and finally picked up a hosta and said, "No, this child's origin is unknown, his mother offended someone, and was killed, what is behind this?" You and I don't know what kind of conspiracy is hidden, if you rashly provoke someone from the government, you will be in trouble if you get Caizi involved."
"What a mess, their mother and son just encountered bandits, how can you exaggerate it like you said." Teng Zhen said indifferently.
Nan Lie disagreed with his statement. He told Teng Zhen that based on two points alone, he could conclude that this murder case was definitely not an ordinary robbery: [-]. Although the child's mother was dressed in ordinary clothes, the ornaments on her head and her feet The embroidered shoes on the clothes are all high-quality goods, which shows that she wants to conceal her identity;
