"What's wrong?" Su Shiyu put down his confession and looked at the embarrassed guard.
"My subordinates are incompetent, and let Miss Linglong be kidnapped." The guard clutched his aching shoulders, embarrassed.
Su Shiyu frowned slightly, "Do you know the identity of the person who came?"
"Yes, the other party bluntly said that he was from the Taiwei's mansion, and his subordinates chased after him, and finally entered the Taiwei's mansion."
Su Shiyu was stunned when he heard the words, but he frowned even more, his eyes couldn't help falling on the familiar name in the confession, and he didn't speak for a while.
The study door was suddenly pushed open at this moment, Su Bai strode in, and said in a hurry, "Young Master, I found it!"
Su Shiyu raised his head, "Are you sure you've figured it out?"
"It's definitely not wrong. The lines that the young master explained to be investigated have finally come together! The evidence is conclusive!" Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief, "But it's hard to believe what you say."
"who is it?"
"King of Xiling."
"Li Chenghua, King of Xiling?" Chu Mingyun repeated, then he chuckled in a low voice, "His intuition is really accurate."
"My lord, the leader ordered his subordinates to come back and report first. He is dealing with Yan Ye's affairs, and it will probably take a while." Shadow Guard said.
Chu Mingyun nodded, raised his hand, and the Shadow Guard silently retreated. He casually glanced at the girl in red who was kneeling in the hall, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Why, when I heard King Xiling, I started to panic?"
Linglong raised her face and gave him a confused smile, "I don't understand what Master Chu said, but I just don't understand why Master brought me here."
"Guess why?"
Linglong thought for a while, and said cautiously, "Slave has no heart for Master Su, Master Su treats slaves very well, and slaves can't betray—"
The voice behind her was suppressed into a low voice, and the ice-cold Jianfeng touched her forehead, revealing a fierce and biting killing intent, Linglong's body was stiff, and she didn't dare to move.
Chu Mingyun leaned on the upper seat, holding the sword in one hand, and said with a chuckle, "I haven't killed a woman before, why don't you come and be the first one?" With a slight movement in his hand, the blade broke through the snow-white skin, and a cluster of bright red Beads of blood rolled down her cheeks.
"Sir, spare your life!" Linglong's voice trembled, "Slave is just a little dancer, even if she works for the adults, she can't do anything. I beg the adults to raise your hand!"
Chu Mingyun looked at her expressionlessly and did not speak.
It was eerily quiet, Linglong was terrified, and cold sweat broke out from her back, only to feel that his eyes cut her apart like a knife and looked at her carefully, making her invisible.
The pressure was getting heavier and heavier, and just when she was almost out of breath, an exclamation suddenly sounded behind her:
"Why do I rely on you with the surname Chu? You are so cruel to women, you are crazy!"
Chu Mingyun glanced at Du Yue, withdrew the sword, and frowned again to look at Linglong, "However, this face is not as good as mine, I really don't know why Shiyu likes you."
Linglong was too stunned to answer, and Du Yue, who had just sat down, laughed happily, "So she is the dancer that my cousin brought back to the house." He held up the teacup and said excitedly, "Maybe Is it my cousin who especially likes her dance? Hey, the surname is Chu, why don't you go to a teacher to learn dancing, maybe he thinks that you are taking you as a partial room, and you and she can still be sisters in the future It matches hahaha…”
Chu Mingyun glanced coldly, "Your skin is itchy?"
Du Yue quickly and quietly glanced around.
"Qin Zhao is not here." Chu Mingyun ruthlessly quelled his expectations.
Du Yue immediately stopped laughing, stood up and patted the sleeve of his robe and suddenly made an "ah", "I remember that there is still medicine in my medicine room, so let's go first, there is no need to deliver it!" Haven't had time to warm up yet.
The hall behind him was completely silent, Chu Mingyun ignored Linglong, his brows were low and Gu Zi was in a trance, Su Bai's fingertips landed on the table, and there was a soft sound.
Linglong lowered his head, vaguely aware of who he was waiting for, his heart seemed to be hanging in the air without a place, and it was extremely tormented. I don't know how long I waited, and Linglong's knees became numb and painful. Suddenly, I heard Master Chu stop tapping, and there were footsteps coming from behind.
Step by step, as if stepping on her heart, Linglong couldn't care less, turned around to look, his face was full of surprises, "...Sir!" She couldn't help but want to get closer, and before her outstretched hand touched a corner of her robe, a long sword fell out of thin air. Straight into the ground, I cut off the movements of my hands, and a cold voice came from the superior:
"Which one allowed you to touch him?"
His fingertips trembled, but he slowly retracted it. Linglong looked up cautiously, and found that the captain's eyes were no longer on her.
Su Shiyu stopped when he dropped the sword, standing a few steps away from Linglong, with the same faint smile on his face, "Master Chu."
Chu Mingyun supported his chin with his hand and looked at him fixedly, "Are you here to take this dancer away?"
Su Shiyu glanced at the girl in red next to him and asked, "What do you think, Master Chu?"
He chuckled softly, got up and walked in front of Su Shiyu, "But I'm going to kill her, are you reluctant?"
Su Shiyu's expression was light, "What am I willing to do, and what if I am not willing?"
"If you are willing, I will kill her." Chu Mingyun stared at Su Shiyu closely, not letting go of his slight expression, "If you are not willing, then I will peel off her skin, drain the blood, and then A little cramp deboning."
Linglong shuddered when she heard the sound.
Su Shiyu met his eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally avoided his gaze and said without any disturbance: "It's just an assassin. If Master Chu cares, it's fine if I don't take it away."
His voice fell, and Linglong was stagnant for a while, as if frozen, the timid and flustered expression all faded from her face, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Su Shiyu, and asked softly, "When did your lord know?"
Before Su Shiyu spoke, Chu Mingyun sneered, "Doctor Censor doesn't believe anyone, how could he not check your details?"
Linglong still looked at him as if he had never heard of it, "When did you know?"
Su Shiyu turned to face her, "I guessed it when you danced that day."
The bright face turned pale in an instant, Linglong lowered her head deeply, raised her hand and stroked her sideburns, rubbing her fingers tremblingly. Her eyes suddenly turned fierce, she pulled off her red jade hairpin and jumped up to Su Shiyu. With the speed and strength possessed by a top assassin, she made a desperate attack, extremely fast and extremely ruthless.
There was only a flash of light and shadow in front of him, the hairpin was broken in two and fell to the ground, Linglong fell to the ground, clutching his chest and coughing out a large pool of blood. Su Shiyu didn't move, only raised his hand to block Chu Mingyun's hand with his wrist, blocking half of the killer move.
Chu Mingyun glanced at him sideways, and suddenly hooked his fingers. Seeing that Su Shiyu didn't respond, he directly took his hand, intertwined his fingers and then clasped them tightly, pulling them to the position in front of his heart.
Su Shiyu's eyes moved slightly, and he turned to let him move, and looked at the people on the ground, "As far as I know, you have a sick sister, are you working so hard for her?"
Linglong's eyes turned black for a while, and a trace of Qingming earned from the chaos panicked when she caught the title, "Sir, please don't..."
"She couldn't survive the day after the frost, and she left with her eyes open, maybe she wanted to see you." Su Shiyu looked down at her and sighed, "Didn't he tell you when King Xiling sent you here?"
She froze there for a long time, and a tear came down.
"King Xiling only told me that in March at the latest, he wants your life to die." Linglong said slowly.
Su Shiyu frowned and thought, Linglong glanced at the hands he and Chu Mingyun were shaking, the blood-stained hands clenched her dress tightly, dipping the crimson into a rich and dazzling color, she smiled bitterly and muttered to herself: "... White shirt, what's the difference?"
Su Shiyu was silent for a moment after hearing the words, then smiled and said, "It suits you very well."
Linglong looked up at him in a daze, and couldn't help but laugh, but her tears continued to fall. She knelt down to Su Shiyu, kowtowed to him with extremely solemn etiquette, choked with laughter and said, "Linglong does not have this good fortune in this life, if there is an afterlife... I am willing to serve as a slave and a maid for the rest of my life!" Yan Bixuan bumped into her body. The upper hall column, a bloody bloom.
Silence spread with the blood, and the maid in green who was standing outside the hall consciously came up to clean up the corpse.
During their conversation, Chu Mingyun kept his eyes down, stroked Su Shiyu's palm inch by inch, as if there was nothing else in the world. Until Su Shiyu wanted to withdraw his hand, he suddenly increased his strength and held it tightly, and without raising his head, he coldly instructed the maid, "Go out."
When all the maids retreated in panic, he raised his eyes to look at Su Shiyu, "Dead, do you feel bad?"
Su Shiyu's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly, "In order to kill me, there is a highly poisonous poison in her body. Even if she didn't have today, she wouldn't be able to survive for three months, so it's a little less painful."
Chu Mingyun laughed nonchalantly and asked, "What about me?"
Su Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then turned to a faint smile, "Why did Master Chu lower himself to be compared with her."
"In your eyes, aren't they all the same?" Chu Mingyun took a step forward and stared into his eyes when he could barely breathe.
Su Shiyu couldn't help but take a step back. Before the distance could be opened, he was pulled into his arms as if he had completely angered Chu Mingyun. His subconscious break free movement was strongly suppressed, and he was finally pressed to death by the man behind him. on the column.
Holding his arm so tightly that it seemed to be imprisoned, as if he was about to cut into flesh and blood, Su Shiyu let go of his strength and let him hug him. He couldn't see his face, only a low voice sounded against the auricle: "Then she touches him again. Where have you been...?" Chu Mingyun's fingers were cold as he stroked the back of his ear and the side of his neck, inch by inch down his shoulders and back, and asked each word in his ear, "...here?...or here?"
It was clearly separated by layers of clothes, but it was like an open flame against the texture, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
Su Shiyu held down the hand he was about to walk down from his waist, and finally couldn't bear to bring out some emotions in his tone, "I don't have that kind of relationship with her."
Chu Mingyun held his hand and kissed his face gently, "Angry?"
"..." Su Shiyu sighed and said calmly, "No."
He gave a long "Oh", his tone was raised, and the ending seemed to be laughing, Chu Mingyun said: "Is your head made of stone, or is your heart made of stone?"
Su Shiyu closed his eyes and leaned his head slightly against the vermilion hall column, silently responding.
Chu Mingyun tightened his arms a little bit, but it was still not enough, still uneasy, even his heartbeat was too cold, and he wanted to fill the empty space with the person in his arms into his chest. He rubbed Su Shiyu's face unconsciously, lowered his eyes, and whispered in a low voice: "Sometimes I really wish I could just imprison you, no matter how you plan your way to hide it, break your hamstrings and tendons, use Chained up, if you dare to think of others, just remember my name..." The tone became a little more serious, and at the end of the sentence there was a ruthless meaning, but he suddenly paused and held it tighter. , lowered his head and buried his face in Su Shiyu's neck, his voice sounded a little more aggrieved and sad for no reason, "...but I can't bear it."
I can't bear it no matter what, even seeing you frown is my fault.
"World Honor."
"World Honor."
Chu Mingyun read his name aloud and kissed along the side of his neck little by little, "I miss you so much, I miss you so much, I'm going crazy thinking about you."
The words are so lingering, the pain is tossing and turning, I can't suppress it at all.
Where he couldn't see, Su Shiyu slowly raised his hand, as if he was about to take him into his arms, but finally put it down the moment he touched his robe, as if he had lost all his strength.
"I've never been able to guess what you're thinking." Su Shiyu said softly.
"... I should have said this to you."
Su Shiyu was silent for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, "I can pretend I don't know about the case of Jianzhang Palace accumulating money and collusion." He paused and added: "This is the bottom line. You also know that this is a capital crime. Afterwards, it will be more restrained.”
Chu Mingyun stiffened for a moment, his hands gripping his shoulders and arms tightened, and after a while he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Su Shiyu, do you think I want to see you for this?"
He heard his own voice scattered in the silence, and heard the swaying sound of the wind outside the hall, which was gently and carefully transmitted into the hall.
Again no answer. This is the answer.
Chu Mingyun let go of him and turned around suddenly, took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows with a sneer, "A few million taels, you don't care about a word, you are really generous."
Su Shiyu looked at his back quietly, his eyes were full of ups and downs, and finally turned into a dull smile, and turned to leave.
After a long time, Chu Mingyun put down his hand, turned around and looked, in the courtyard was Chumei Luoxue in Hansui.
Early the next day, Taiwei Chu said that he had not arrived yet.
Three or four people in the Chu party have been taken to the censor's desk to confess their guilt. The ministers pondered in their hearts, and vaguely felt that this case was inseparable from the captain, and now the captain was ill and could not go to court. , Could it be that this is really unfair? They made eye contact with each other a few times, but in the end they kept silent and watched.
When the emperor took his seat in the hall, he saw Su Shiyu knelt down and presented a document with his hands over the top.
"Aiqing has decided to close the case?" Li Yanzhen asked while looking at it.
"My minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." Su Shiyu said.
Li Yanzhen was stunned for a while, and raised her eyes to look at him: "Why did Aiqing say this?"
"The minister was ineffective and failed to find out the mastermind of this case." Su Shiyu's eyes darkened, "And the Censor Yan died unexpectedly in the mansion last night, and the evidence and clues he had disappeared. Your Majesty, I have no choice but to close the case in a hurry, I feel ashamed, and I implore Your Majesty to punish you."
"That's all." Li Yanzhen closed the document and smiled, "Haven't you already found out a lot of crimes, and it's enough to punish. Aiqing has worked so hard, why should you blame yourself?"
Su Shiyu turned a deaf ear, "This minister is guilty, I beg His Majesty to punish him."
Li Yanzhen was perplexed and looked at Su Shiyu kneeling in the hall, her eyes closed and calm, but her brows were tightly frowned, revealing unshakable determination. Li Yanzhen looked at him for a while, and sighed deeply.
The Minister of War Xu Yin did not return to the mansion after going down to court, but drove to the Taiwei mansion immediately.
In the study, Qin Zhao took the roster handed over by Chu Mingyun and couldn't help asking, "It's enough for these people to die?"
"It's so easy," Chu Mingyun laughed. "It depends on whether you can move faster than they speak, and you have to be suspicious."
Just as Qin Zhao was about to speak, there was a knock on the door by a servant girl: "Sir, Master Xu, the servant of the Ministry of War, is visiting and is waiting for you in the front hall."
"The person who wants to bring me to justice hasn't come yet. Why didn't he come back to the palace?" Chu Mingyun didn't raise his eyes, "I'm too lazy to see."
The maid said in a low voice, "I said that you are clever, and I wish you an early eradication of the Soviet Party."
"...What's going on?" Chu Mingyun's eyes narrowed, "Call him over."
Qin Zhao put away the roster and left through the secret door in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yin arrived in a short time, and he bowed happily, and without waiting for Chu Mingyun to ask more, he consciously explained the matter in the court this morning in detail, and at the end he couldn't help but wonder, "...Speaking of this, Master Su is really strange. , I have worked hard on the case, and in the end, His Majesty is obviously satisfied, but he has to find guilt for himself." He paused and smiled: "Of course, no matter what, I want to congratulate you, Sir of!"
Xu Yin is not sure whether Chu Mingyun is involved in the Jianzhang Palace case, but he is sure of one thing: the case is so closed, and the rumors of Chao Zhongfeng have been secretly started. After all, such a great opportunity to get rid of Chu Mingyun, Su Shiyu has not moved. Instead, he put himself in. Some people speculated that this might be a sign of the decline of the Su family, and the situation in which the two parties competed against each other might change from now on.
After Xu Yin finished speaking, he waited for Chu Mingyun to speak. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. He raised his eyes and saw that Chu Mingyun was playing with something in his hands. "How is Su Shiyu?"
"Don't worry, my lord, I've been fined for half a year and banned for seven days. It's an unprecedented shame for the Su family." Xu Yin added with a smile, "And before the official came, there were several Soviet Party officials who asked me to greet them. Check your condition."
Chu Mingyun raised his eyes slowly and said with a sneer, "Just tell them I'm not dead." He raised his head slightly, leaned back on the chair, and waved his hand impatiently for the other party to leave.
Xu Yin observed his words and expressions, and could see that he was in a bad mood, so he said goodbye and left.
The room was silent, Chu Mingyun raised the jade pendant in his hand, which was warm and warm, in front of him, stared at it for a long time, and slowly clenched it.
