Chapter 87 The runners can't help

"The night rain drops in the empty steps, and the morning lights are dim and leave the room. Everyone is sad and stops drinking, when will they join in the same juncture?"

"Good poems, good poems!"

Xu You turned his head and smiled, "Why did you come out too?"

He Ru walked up the steps, tightened his clothes, sat on the stone bench beside him, and said, "I can't sleep. When I see the light here, I come and take a look. I didn't expect Qilang to sit alone. Why? Are you looking at the rain in the winter night to find poems?"

"That's not!" Xu You sat leaning on the yard pillar, stretching his legs flat, and his mind was soothing, saying, "I just couldn't sleep either, and I walked slowly to this point, and suddenly felt aroused."

"Remembering an old friend?"

"Yes! When I was young, I was extremely stubborn at that time and often fought with human life. If he hadn't tried to persuade me and told me the principles of being a human being, I would have probably caused more trouble."

"Oh, there is such a person, what is his name?"

"Shen Yue, Shen Xing Path!"

He Ru shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of this person before!"

"He is a weak person and does not like to show off, so he has a bad reputation. However, his talent and knowledge are of the best. Now... he should study in Jinling. You are waiting to see that within ten years, everyone in the world knows the name of "Shenzhen"!

"Chen Yue... is it a member of the Shen family of Wuxing?"

Xu You sighed and said, "That's right!"

He Ru sighed and said, "No wonder Qilang feels that 'Everyone will stop drinking, when will they join us?' Since he is a member of Shen, I will be a revenge when I see you again in the future! Forgot this friend of the ecstasy!"

Xu You smiled bitterly and said, "He is not valued in Shen's family. An unknown little person has little to do with him if he wants to talk about the hatred between Xu Chen's two families!"

"Xu Chen, Xu Chen, is a grudge between two families. He is the surname Chen, that is, the son of Shen, and he cannot escape the relationship! If it is really as Qilang expected, and the world is well-known in ten years, Chen Yue will definitely become an important figure in Shen. At that time, will he watch Qilang destroy the Shen family?"

Xu You was silent, a trace of indescribable sadness flashed through his eyes, and said, "From a close friend to a grudge, how desolate the world is!"

He Ru knew that with Xu You's will, he would be able to be freed from the short pain soon. He did not comfort him, but just asked, "Why do you suddenly think of him tonight?"

"The knife during the day, the flying heads and the blood splashed everywhere, made me unable to sleep all night. Sitting in the pavilion and listening to the sound of rain, I remembered my old friend before!"

"Hey, Qilang has killed many people? I heard that you killed dozens of people by one person. Today, I'm just killing one person..."

Xu You couldn't explain all the wonderful things that happened in this body. He merged with Xu You's soul and inherited his joys, sorrows, and happiness, but the part that belongs to him still dominates, so killing people, especially the first time he killed people with his own hands, always feels a little different.

He was not afraid, nor was he so pretentious that he had any sequelae of murder. He just watched a living life pass through his hands, the pleasure that could control everything, and the conscience that would wantonly deprive others of life and death without judgment, had a fierce collision in his mind.

"Yes, it's just one person!"

Since we embarked on the road of revenge, more and more people will die in our hands in the future. Thinking about the rule of law and freedom has no meaning in this era. The hatred contaminated by blood can only be washed by blood!

"Tomorrow, you tell the Winter Solstice and ask her to check what strange things happened in Dade Temple, and actually let Lu Hui and Du Sansheng come to cut off the lawsuit?"

"There is such a thing?" He Ru suddenly became interested and said, "The bald donkeys are restless. I know, but I didn't expect that just a few days after coming to Qiantang, Dade Temple had not been repaired yet, and he actually started to do whatever he wanted! Ha, interesting, interesting!"

The next day, Su Tang came to the county government early in the morning. Lu Hui met her in the second hall and asked about the situation at home. When he learned that Su Tang’s parents had both died, he sighed and comforted him a few words, saying, “I know you have suffered aggrieved. I will let Liu Yu come to the door to apologize to you. This happened. Although it was unfortunate, I was lucky to let me see Qiantang and a strong and chaste woman like you. It is a contribution to the promotion of education in this county, which is a gratifying congratulations.”

Su Tang saw for the first time what the word "official" is, and he could find achievements from such evil deeds to gild her face. She felt disgusted and her tone became more and more cold, and she said, "If the county magistrate has nothing else to give, the civilian girl will leave for the time being!"

"Don't be anxious first!" Lu Hui pretended to accidentally bounce the dust on his robe and smiled: "Have your parents made a marriage for you during their lifetime?"

Su Tang's heart trembled slightly, and he shook his head and said, "No!"

Lu Hui smiled so much that his mouth was about to crack and he said, "Do you have a favorite man?"

Su Tang lowered her head, her eyes full of vigilance and she didn't say anything. Although she was unaware of human affairs, she was smart by nature and had a good understanding of the past and present. She could tell without asking about the man's thoughts.

"Don't get me wrong, I just saw you being lonely and helpless, and I was sympathetic and wanted to find you a satisfying destination."

"No need to worry about the county magistrate!" Su Tang flatly refused and said, "My parents died early, and my destination is up to the people's daughter to decide!"

"What are these words!" Lu Hui smiled and said, "The orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, and lifelong affairs, how can we be so hasty?"

Su Tang did not give in and said tit-for-tat: "The Zhou Li said that the month of mid-spring is the result of men and women, and those who run away cannot help but run. It can be seen that during the three generations, men and women often make their lives privately, and it is not a hasty or sloppy!"

Lu Hui looked at him. This woman spoke really boldly, not comparable to an ordinary woman. She said patiently: "Those who run away are concubines! You are in your prime and in your youth, and you are willing to be concubines with others?"

"So what if you are in love with each other?" Su Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, my parents died, so what if I choose a good man as my husband, but I don't go to the matchmaker? You can be your wife if you love each other!"

Lu Hui's face suddenly sank and said, "If you don't wait for your parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, you can see each other through the gaps of holes and follow them across the wall, then your parents and people will be humiliated. Do you want your parents to be ashamed in the spring?"

Su Tang's face suddenly became cold, and he grew up, saying word by word: "I followed my parents' teachings at a young age, recited the poems of "Book" and "Book", cultivate virtue and self-cultivation, accumulate good deeds and practices carefully. If my ancestors know me, I should be proud of me. How can I say that I am shameful?"

"Dispute with a sharp word!" Lu Hui was born as a county magistrate. He was contradicted by Su Tang, a civilian girl, and was furious and lost his face. He slapped the case with his hands and scolded: "Get back!"

When Su Tang bowed and left, Lu Hui was still angry and paced back and forth in the hall. He coveted Su Tang's beauty, thinking of being tempted and seducing a little, he would definitely be able to put him in the room and ask for it. He didn't expect that this woman was so ungrateful and pretended to be stupid. As expected, the countryside woman had little knowledge and could not enter the elegant hall!

Liu Yu turned from behind. He came earlier than Su Tang. He stayed in the compartment and listened quietly. He smiled and said, "Don't calm down the anger in the Ming Dynasty, but women and villains are hard to raise. There is no need to be angry about such a ignorant little girl!"

Lu Hui snorted, then thought of Su Tang's appearance and figure, and felt itchy again. He covered his mouth and coughed twice, saying, "Little Jasper, probably this is the case, but it has a unique charm."

Liu Yu heard the clue, and came close to him and whispered: "There are many masters in the Ming Mansion! However, if the envoy is interested, he will have a plan to be afraid that Na Luofu is ruthless..."

Lu Hui's expression moved slightly, but he did not comment. He moved away from the topic and said, "You are still using those craftsmen, but remember it for me. Don't cause trouble again this time. In April next year, all forty-nine Buddha statues must be completed."

Liu Yu knew it well, and if he didn't refuse, he agreed. His smile was full of flattery and said, "Don't worry, Mingfu, I will do it properly."

This is a pun. We must do the Buddha statue well and Su Tang’s affairs even better!

Lu Hui was very satisfied. Although Liu Tao is the most humble businessman, he has a delicate mind, clear hands and eyes, and is very easy to use. He is much more comfortable than those subordinates in the yamen who are lip service.

Su Tang returned home and felt exhausted. She slept until afternoon. She stood up and leaned against the window and looked at Jingyuan opposite her. Fang Xiuniang stood behind her at some point, took a plain jacket and put it on her shoulders, and said pity: "The cold air is too heavy, wear more clothes."

"Sister, do you think the men in the world are all hypocritical?"

Fang Xiuniang hesitated and said, "Does the girl refer to Xu Langjun?"

"Xu You?" Su Tang's eyes were blurred, and he bent down slightly on the window. His jade hand stuck out the window. The water droplets hanging from the eaves dripped in his palms without any dust. He was extremely clear and said, "Yesterday you had no way to ask for help, only he rushed in the rain and killed people in anger to save us from overturning us. I have only read such a man in books. I thought he was like Shi She, a disciple of King Zhao of Chu, who was fair and righteous, but unexpectedly, facing the coercion of Lu Hui, he was willing to bow down and bow down to charm him..."

Fang Xiuniang had heard her discuss the debate with Xu You before, and said softly: "In fact, what Xu Langjun said makes sense. It is better to give in when it should be given up. As the saying goes, the people do not fight against officials, let alone the magistrate of Lu is not an ordinary official, but he is a child of the Lu family. Xu Langjun dare not disobey his words!"

"The truth? The truth of the world is in the books of the saints, not the power of the family. If Lu Hui came from the Chinese clan, he would obey his words and ignore his actions of neglecting national laws, wouldn't he be ashamed of the saint's teachings?"

Su Tang gently closed his palms, felt the trembling of the cold water droplets when they broke. He raised his head, looked at the drizzle of rain, and said with full of yearning: "The eunuchs in the Han Dynasty were the only ones who were the only ones who were the emperor and the students gathered to discuss and criticize the current ills. From the ministers and ministers, everyone was afraid of their derogatory arguments. At that time, scholars at that time thought they were different from those of the current scholars. They were determined to be the true man. Only when they were not spared in the face of difficulties could they be called real men!"

"Girl, I don't understand the principles of the saints, but in Qiantang, the county magistrate is like a god. We are small families and have no support, but we want to live a stable life. Why do you have to learn from those scholars to cause trouble?"

"You don't understand!"

Su Tang lowered his eyelids, his black hair fell on his slanted skin, and his jade bones and ice skin were like the most beautiful picture in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. He murmured in a low voice: "You don't understand! Sometimes it's not that I want to cause trouble, but that someone insists on coming to find your troubles, and he can't avoid it!"

She remembered Lu Hui's performance today, and there was a little ambiguity in open and secret. She just hoped that those words of slut would make him understand that power could make Xu You bow his head, but not a woman would commit herself!

At this moment, a maid ran in and said in a panic: "Girl, there are a few gossips outside the gate, yelling about who to look for..."

Fang Xiuniang's face changed drastically and she said angrily: "Teat them out! Find someone else to find them, there is no one here!"

"I said it, but they were all very fierce and didn't listen at all!"

Fang Xiuniang said to Su Tang: "I'll go and have a look, girl, please rest!"

Su Tang stopped her, her face turned cold, and said, "I'll go with you!"

The people outside the door, Su Tang and the others had never seen them. The leader was wearing black leather belt, round face, and red phoenix eyes. They were not scary and spoke politely, and bowed: "Disturbate girl, my name is Ma Jin, come to find my brother Ma Yin."

Su Tang said lightly: "There is no man in our door, nor is there your so-called brother. This is a private house. There is a difference between men and women. Please leave with your brother!"

"I don't like to hear girls' words. Are there any men? What you say doesn't count. You have to listen to what the people of Qiantang County say! Brothers, what have you heard in the streets and alleys?"

"I heard so much, tsk... I just fear that Girl Su's face would not be able to hide when she said it!"

"That's right, after all, I'm not married yet. If I want to lose my reputation first, who dares to marry a formal matchmaker?"

"What kind of marriage is not a good person? Girl Su didn't say she must get married, right?"

"Don't get married? Will you be a widow?"

"A widow? Haha, haven't you heard Lao Yutou in Qinghe Lane in Xi Street say that? The door of Ms. Su's house is closed during the day and open quietly at night. There is always a handsome man wandering in front of the door from time to time. As for whether he has entered, I don't know!"

Everyone laughed in unison, looking up and down Su Tang's body, extremely obscene. Ma Jin waved his hand to silence them. Looking at Su Tang's pale face, he smiled and said, "I know these are all rumors about idle people in the city. Girls are not those who are shameless. But my brother was broken by the girl's arm yesterday, and now he doesn't know how to live or die. I'll come to find him, right?

"Broken arm?" Su Tang said with a stern look: "Did you say the beast in Jingqiu yesterday?"

Ma Jin had a gloomy face and approached three steps forward, saying, "He is my brother. You scolded him for being a beast, but do you say I am also a beast?"

Su Tang suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "The county government has concluded the case yesterday. You want to find someone and ask Lu Mingfu for it!"

"I have asked the county government, but I haven't seen my brother. I have been to Jingqiu, and I don't even have a ghost. I'm alone, and I will never live without a person or a corpse. It must be because you hold a grudge and sent someone to wipe him out! Tell me, where did the corpse be buried?"

"That kind of beast is not worth dying!" Su Tang calmed down now. No matter whether Ma Jin was saying true or not, the broken-armed Ranger really didn't remember how to deal with it. He just had a vague impression. It seemed that after they got on the ox cart, Xu You's subordinates, the one named Wu Shan, tied him up and brought him to the edge of the cliff. Could it be...

"You leave quickly. Without the county government's sign, don't want to enter the house here!"

Ma Jin had no choice but to break into a private house with such a tough temper. He said viciously: "Okay! Let's go first, come tomorrow. I won't give me an explanation. I see how you gain a foothold in Qiantang!"
