Chapter 7: After parting, the soul has never dreamed 1

The frog by the pond in the yard began to make noise early in the morning, disturbing people's dreams. Han Ruqi opened his eyes in a daze and couldn't tell where he was for a moment.

Five years ago, Emperor Xuanping toured Jiangling in the south, and he was awarded the title of a guard with a knife in front of the imperial palace. Since then, he has no longer been a disciple of the self-knowledge hall, but an official of the imperial court. He rubbed his temples to confirm his identity, looked at the bedroom he was familiar with, and reluctantly admitted that it was just a pillow of sorghum.

In the dream, Han Ruxu felt that he was only six or seven years old, and he was still at the age of being bullied from time to time. He had a pair of warm hands on his shoulder, which felt like lying in a cradle, quiet and at ease.

It has been seventeen years. The master's wife was cursed to death for 17 years. He, his brothers and even his master have been trying to find the murderer, but to no avail. Since the founding of the country, people have been strictly forbidden to study books related to witchcraft. There are also many people who believe in Buddhism. It seems that they are afraid of something. Therefore, even if the murderer is still alive, he must change his appearance and make a living like Wei Tanyi.

...Why do you think of him?

Han Ru lifted the quilt and got out of bed to change clothes.

The wooden charm is still hanging on the chest as usual, without any abnormality. Can the murderer really be found through it? It has been many days, but Han Ruqi is still indecisive.

...No, it is more doubtful that the man's words are more reliable than whether the Mu Fu has the information of the murderer. Maybe he just tried every means to cheat the wooden charm, and he owed him a lot of money. If he insists on not paying it back, even if he goes to court, he will be at a loss. I still can't give it to him, at least after the money is paid off.

Today, the guests who came to Yuezhai found that there was a young girl like a flower in the store. When the shopkeeper was away, she always made tea for the guests with a smile and chatted with them. Naturally, men came to the door more frequently, and the wives and concubines at home couldn't help sighing that these days, the sex trading became more and more hidden, and the man's heart could not be closed for a long time.

Such gossip also spread to Wei Tanyi's ears. He just smiled and said, "There is really a Buddha in my heart. Everything has Buddha's nature. My heart is dirty, and my eyes can't be clean."

On this day, Han Ruxu came to the door. Unfortunately, Wei Tanyi went out again. Only Si Si was teasing the parrot. When he heard the footsteps, he said with the parrot, "Welcome!"

"Where's your master?" Because every time Cui Si mentions Wei Tanyi, he always calls him the "master", Han Ruxu also simply asked this question.

"The master went to Lord Zhou's mansion." Si Si answered and walked to Duobaoge.

Han Ruxu shouted at her: "There is no need to prepare tea. Since he is not there, I will come back later."

"Is there anything you need to convey?"

"No, I'll tell him in person."

quenching Si smiled very sweetly, which was different from Wei Tanyi's completely perfunctory or mocking smile. Han Ruqi felt that he was okay to deal with the cunning fox, and he was not very good at dealing with this sweet poison, so he didn't want to have too much contact with this girl of unknown origin.

Shortly after Han Ruxu left, Wei Tanyi came back with a spring breeze on his face. Before he entered the door, he asked, "Has he ever been here?"

"Well, it's said to come back later." I answered truthfully.

The corners of Wei Tan's lips rose: "I'd like to see how long he can last." After saying that, he took out a small bottle from his sleeve and shook it in front of his eyes.

Si Si asked, "Did you find it in Lord Zhou's house?"

"Well, a little girl had an affair with the young master of the Zhou family. Later, the young master wanted to marry and killed her because he thought it was in the way." Wei Tanyi put the bottle on the tea case. "It's just pestering me to cry for a while, but it's quite pitiful."

Si Si lowered her head and said, "That's the life of being a maidservant. She also knows that she can't compete with those daughters and is not worthy of a rich young master, right?"

Wei Tanyi stood with his hands on his back: "If all the feelings are right, there will be many beautiful stories in the world." Suddenly, he asked, "What would you do if it were you?"

"If Lord Han is not here, the master will make fun of Si Si." The girl smiled and refused to answer.

"How come? You are different from him."

Wei Tanyi said, turned around and walked to the backyard, not forgetting to tell, "Take care of the little beast. Even if it is a pig who comes to the door, as long as there is money, I will welcome it."

"Yes." Si Si laughed out loud. Previously, Zhou Yongtai, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, sent several people to invite Wei Tanyi. His attitude was very arrogant. The parrot also seemed to be able to look at people, so he opened his mouth and came to "get out". Naturally, it can only be a beast to argue with beasts. After listening to this episode told by his subordinates, his face has always been ugly, but it is not easy to attack.

Wei Tanyi is also a person who doesn't care about your mood after getting a bargain. After receiving the wronged soul of Zhou's maidservant, he went away. With Zhou Yongtai's personality of following the trend in everything, I'm afraid it will be difficult to patronize Yuezhai in the future.

"Bear by the way, do you feel something wrong recently?" He changed his clothes and went back to the store and asked as soon as he entered the door.

He thought for a little and shook his head: "What does the master mean?"

Wei Tanyi looked weakly: "Strong resentment and the smell of blood."

***

"What are you talking about? There has been a peace in the capital recently. There is no injustice and heavy punishment you said."

Han Ru waved his hand impatiently, like a fly.

Wei Tanyi chased after him: "I dare to say that there must be. If Lord Han insists that there is no, it can only prove that you have dereliction of duty!"

"You!" In front of a dozen subordinates, Han Ruxu had a feeling of being slapped in the face. He stopped and glared at him, "Then where are the dead?" If you can't say it, don't blame me for sending you to prison for framing the court officials!"

Wei Tanyi opened his mouth, but he looked gloomy: "I don't know."

Han Ruxu almost lost his anger and shouted, "Don't pay attention to this madman. Let's go!" He continued to patrol the street with a bodyguard.

"It seems that it's really a feast..." Wei Tanyi looked at them far away, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

After the shift, Han Ruxu returned home, but it was difficult to sit still. Although he righteously refuted the fallacy of Wei Tanyi on the street during the day, in his heart, he was inevitably worried about whether there was really a great murder in the capital. After all, it must not be a trivial matter that could make that guy bow his head and ask him for advice.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. If there is really a murder case that Wei Tanyi said is comparable to the extermination of the door, how can there be no wind reaching Dali Temple?

Sure enough, what he said was not credible, and he couldn't help following his way.

Han Ruqi untied the knife, thought about it and took it again, and went out without eating.

Look around the corners in the capital that are not easy to be noticed again, so that the secret case can be found, right? Thinking so, Han Ruxu jumped to the head of the room with light skills and picked the fastest path to the west of the city.

***

In the dead of night, a faint dark shadow floated towards the palace like a dark cloud on the night wind.

At this time, the palace lights were out, and the eunuch carrying the concubine on his shoulder was running fast and sent the people on his shoulders back to the bedroom. Except for the patrol guard and the eunuch on duty at night, no one else could be seen in the forbidden palace.

The dark shadow quietly fell on the glazed tiles of Yifeng Hall, silent, only a short stay, and then went deep into the garden. Yifeng Hall is the queen's bedroom. Although today's queen is not favored, she is also in harmony with Emperor Xuanping. Recently, it has been said that the queen gave birth to the eleventh prince. Emperor Xuanping was very happy and rewarded a lot of good things.

"It's really pitiful that the embroidered girl died and the brocade came out, and the palace rose after the death of hundreds of workers..." Wei Tanyi looked at the seductive room, shook his head regretfully, and the cat walked through the flowers and trees with his waist.

It was getting closer and closer, and it was within reach. Wei Tanyi stopped and opened the dense spring flowers in front of him, and a round well was suddenly presented. So that's it," he stroked the well edge and sighed softly, "No wonder the hatred is so strong that it can spread to Yongning Square, which is half a city far away from here."

As if responding to his sigh, there was a sob from the well, which was miserable and indescribable.

Wei Tanyi stretched out his hand in the well: "Come on, come to me."

The depth of the well is unfathomable, and the dark is like overflowing well water. A pale and transparent hand poked out of the black water and held the hand stretched down by Wei Tanyi.
