Early the next morning, the air was still a little damp. Last night, the rain and wind blew down a pond of clear lotus, the dew dripped, and the perched flying heron was startled, and its wings flapped softly.
The doors and windows of the bedroom were closed, making it difficult to see the spring.
Du Lingchun was entangled with Gongsun Zhuoyu last night, so sleepy, he couldn't help but slept for a while before he woke up. He opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Gongsun Zhuoyu tilting his head to look at him, and was stunned for a moment before he remembered what happened last night.
Du Lingchun covered his eyes with the back of his hands, and his ears were slightly warm.
Gongsun Zhuoyu narrowed his eyes when he saw that he was awake. Pulling Du Lingchun into his arms, he buried his face in his neck and kissed him: "Is the company going to sleep for a while?"
Du Lingchun didn't say anything, just touched his face lightly, thinking of what happened last night, there was still a feeling of unreality like a dream. But the joy that remained in my mind could not be faked, and there was still some unspeakable pain somewhere behind me.
Gongsun Zhuoyu saw him in a trance and called out, "Company?"
Du Lingchun scolded him for being stupid. He supported his head and traced his handsome eyebrows with his fingertips. His soft voice was a little hoarse, with a kind of laziness afterwards: "Fool, why are you still calling our company?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu pinched his fingertips, bit him lightly, and said to himself, "I just like to shout like that."
Du Lingchun just shouted if he wanted to, it wasn't a big deal. He didn't have the habit of sleeping late, but today it was rare for him to lie quietly in Gongsun Zhuoyu's arms for a while. A desolate heart, once filled with gold and silver power, suddenly became full at this moment.
Du Lingchun closed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you still count what you said yesterday?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu was studying Du Lingchun's hair, when he heard this, he hummed in confusion: "What?"
Du Lingchun opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu calmly, and said in a dangerous tone, "You forgot?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu reacted, and then hugged him and rubbed him as usual: "Of course I didn't forget, what I said to the company will always count."
Du Lingchun's originally tightened heart loosened slightly, and then pursed his lips again. I thought to myself what happened to me, even if I was sensitive and suspicious in the past, I wouldn't be at this level now.
Seeing that it was noon, he simply got up and dressed. It's just that the red mark on the neck can't be covered, it looks weird and a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu could only follow to get up. He was much more generous, and directly exposed the hickey to the outside. Seeing that Du Lingchun had been pulling the collar, he pulled his hand down and said with a smile: "What is the company afraid of, let people see it? I just thought we went to the brothel Chu Pavilion to drink flower wine."
Du Lingchun glared at him: "Little bastard, you can go to that kind of fireworks place, can't I go?"
Everyone in the capital knew that he was an eunuch, and it was impossible for anyone to go to the brothel, Du Lingchun.
Gongsun Zhuoyu kissed his neck and whispered with a blushing face, "The company will just tell them that it was me who kissed him."

Du Lingchun pushed him twice, but found that it was like a rice cake, and he couldn't push it away. He pinched the opponent's chin on his shoulder and said, "Why do you look like a girl."
A person is blind and shy at every turn.
Du Lingchun's eyelashes were as thick as crow feathers, his complexion was white, and his profile was handsome but feminine. At this moment, he looked sideways, and his red clothes lined out a bit of thick beauty. Gongsun Zhuoyu was holding his chin with his fingertips, his face turned even redder uncontrollably, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Du Lingchun: "..."
Fool…
Du Lingchun slowly let go of him, stunned and wanted to laugh again, but before he could say anything, there was a slight knock on the door: "Company."
Du Lingchun subconsciously looked at the door and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
The outsider said: "His Majesty sent Eunuch Hou to deliver a letter saying that he heard that Lord Gongsun had arrested the murderer and brought him to justice, and summoned him to enter the palace immediately."
Although the emperor lived in the palace, he also had eyes and ears outside. On the day that Gongsun Zhuoyu went to Luohua Hutong, he did not hide it. Many people saw him come out with a girl tied up, and he was seen by someone who had a heart, and it spread to the emperor's ears.
Gongsun Zhuoyu looked at Du Lingchun subconsciously: "Company, what should I do?"
Du Lingchun tidied his collar for him. He didn't seem in any hurry, and said casually: "Since you have found the real murderer, what are you afraid of, just bring the prisoner into the palace, and I will be with you."
At the same time, it was estimated in his heart that Gongsun Zhuoyu's position of Jingzhao Yin was almost certain.
Gongsun Zhuoyu hadn't figured out how to get Mo Jingxian out of the murder case: "But..."
Du Lingchun knew what he was hesitating at a glance, and said in a low voice: "Since he has entered the officialdom, what are those bad-hearted people doing? Go back and ask my sister to say a few words before your majesty, Jing Zhaoyin. The position must be yours, don't worry about the next one, eh?"
Promotion is a good thing. Gongsun Zhuoyu likes promotion the most. Hearing Yanle's eyes widens, he smiles: "Okay."
Seeing him happy, Du Lingchun was naturally happy, and smiled: "Let's go, we'll enter the palace after lunch."
This case is about the lives of court officials. The emperor paid more attention to it than Gongsun Zhuoyu imagined. When he stepped into the Taiji Hall, he found that there were all the important officials in the center of the court, and the capital would be shaken twice by stomping his feet.
The emperor sits on the top. Although he is rarely angry, he still has an aura that is not angry and powerful: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, someone said that you captured the murderer yesterday, is it true?"
The news has already been spread, and it has to be true if it is not true.
Gongsun Zhuoyu cupped his hands and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the murderer has indeed been captured."
Du Lingchun and the rest of the courtiers stood aside, and when they heard the words, they waved their sleeve robes calmly, and immediately someone brought Ye Wuhen and Mo Jingxian, who were seriously injured, to the hall and knelt on the ground.
For a while, the eyes of all the ministers gathered, looking at these two young and unfamiliar faces, with different expressions, some couldn't believe that the four murders were all committed by them, and they talked in a low voice.
The emperor frowned: "Why are there still women?"
Tang Feishhuang stood beside Prime Minister Yan Fu and looked over. He received His Majesty's special permission to come to the hearing.
Talking is an art. Saying it this way is likely to provoke the anger of others, and it may arouse the sympathy of others. It all depends on how the speaker handles it.
Gongsun Zhuoyu pondered the words before saying: "Go back to your majesty, this woman is called Mo Jingxian, and she is the daughter of General Longxiang Mo Yanwu. When the late emperor was in power, Mo Yanwu was ordered to lead his troops on an expedition. The enemy army fought hard by the Zhenjiang River, but Dong Qianli, Guo Han and other four people embezzled the army's salaries, deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, and even the food and grass were delayed..."
He suddenly mentioned the past, causing the courtiers to look at each other in dismay, Mo Jingxian's body trembled slightly, and she closed her eyes in pain.
Gongsun Zhuoyu paused for a while, then continued: "The sky is snowing, the cold is blowing, and the food and grass are exhausted. It would be difficult for the gods to come down to earth to win the battle. Mo Yanwu died in the battle, and this battle was defeated by the enemy. When she was deceived by the villain, she was furious and beheaded the entire Mo family, and because Mo Jingxian was underage, she was lucky enough to escape, but who would have thought that she would be charged into the Jiaofang Division."
For some reason, the emperor frowned and clenched the armrest. There are those who watch the courtiers watching the excitement, there are those who are indifferent, and there are those who sigh.
When it was their turn to commit the crime, Gongsun Zhuoyu deliberately took it down: "The murderer's name is Ye Wuhen, he is a Jianghu Ranger, he once received a favor from Mo Jingxian, and in order to repay his favor, he helped her escape by fake death. Jiaofang Secretary, and killed four people for her. Dong Qianli, Guo Han, Chu Lianjiang, and Baiqiu."
Gongsun Zhuoyu said, and took out four pieces of poetry paper: "When Wei Chen investigated the case, he found that the poems he gave to the murderer were all torn from a booklet called "Miscellaneous Poetry Collection", and the paper was brand new. For the new book, I investigated and visited the major bookstores to see how many shopkeepers had bought such books recently. Finally, I found that he had bought books in one of the bookstores, and was seen by the shopkeeper walking into Luohua Hutong. After investigating all the way, the person was caught."
Gongsun Zhuoyu actually wanted to use a bit of "exaggerated" rhetoric to show how hard he worked and how conscientious he was to find the real murderer, but he thought about it.
Ye Wuhen and Mo Jingxian knelt down in the hall from beginning to end, not saying a word, not as quiet as a murderer with blood on their hands.
The emperor probably did not expect that there was such a secret behind the case, his complexion changed slightly, he looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu, and asked in a low voice: "How do you know that Dong Qianli and the other four had embezzled army salaries, not the murderer's sophistry. Word?"
This Gongsun Zhuoyu had been prepared for a long time, he took out a pamphlet from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch before the imperial eunuch and presented it: "When Wei Chen collected evidence, he searched the homes of these four people, and finally found that there were hidden compartments. They hide the ledger of their corrupt transactions."
Corruption of military salaries is not something that can be done by one person. There must be many people operating secretly. In order to ensure fairness and credibility when dividing the spoils, they will keep accounts to ensure that they will not take more illicit affairs. The ancient institutions were not very clever. Gongsun Zhuoyu casually turned the vase in the study of Dong Qianli and others, and knocked on the floor tiles to find the hidden space.
The emperor took the account book with a gloomy face, flipped through a few pages, his temples jumped with anger, threw the account book out with a clatter, and slapped the table heavily: "Damn! Expenses are also reduced, these worms are actually cheating, embezzling hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it’s just damn!”
When the courtiers saw that he was angry, they all knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down—"
Gongsun Zhuoyu looked around and could only kneel down: "Your Majesty, calm down."
The little eunuch ran over, picked up the thrown account book, and respectfully placed it on the imperial case.
The emperor's chest was up and down, and suddenly he found himself being led by Gongsun Zhuoyu, and he said solemnly: "Even if they are guilty of capital punishment, the two murderers should not commit suicide privately, otherwise what is the law of my King of Ye?!"
When Mo Jingxian heard the words, she bowed her head and kowtowed: "The girl is convicted, please punish your majesty."
Ye Wuhen was from Jianghu, he would not be willing to bow down to an emperor, he quietly looked at Mo Jingxian's thin body, and couldn't help closing his eyes.
Gongsun Zhuoyu was about to intercede when the prime minister, Yan Fu, suddenly came out and made a speech: "Your Majesty, although the murderer deserves ten thousand death, the law is nothing but human. In the battlefield, I have also made great achievements for me, Da Ye, and I implore Your Majesty to show mercy and leave the Mo family with a bloodline."
Many old officials in the DPRK once served as officials in the same dynasty as Mo Yanwu, and for a while, many generals also came out to plead: "I beg Your Majesty to be kind."
Gongsun Zhuoyu paused and said, "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy."
Du Lingchun secretly frowned.
Du Lingchun's party and Yan Fu's party have always been at odds. No matter what one party wants to do, the other party will jump out to oppose and fight to the death. This has become an tacit fact.
Seeing that Yan Fu and others were begging for mercy, Du Lingchun's party officials habitually jumped out and lashed out: "Your Majesty, although Dong Qianli and the others deserve death for their crimes, they should not seek revenge in private anyway. Precedents, how to govern the country in the future, won't it be realistic?"
He originally came out to be a good boy, but who ever thought that Du Lingchun turned back and gave him a fierce look.
