There are bandits attacking

Chapter No.17: The Dead

It is already one of Qin Ce's daily routines to go to the 'family inn' to grab a meal after going to court. Obviously, the food in his mansion is also very good, but Qin Ce feels that it is not as delicious as in the 'family inn'. I don't know if it's because the food there is really good, or because someone eats with him there, or both.

Qin Ce suddenly thought of a poem: It is not you who are beautiful, but beautiful people leave it.Perhaps a large part of the reason is because of this.

Zhang Jiu's handsome face unexpectedly appeared in Qin Ce's mind. Although Zhang Jiu looked like he was guarding against wolf every time he saw him come to eat, it was obvious that there would be more people at the dinner table the next day. Serving some of his favorite meals, Zhang Jiu is a hard-spoken and caring person.

Thinking of this, Qin Ce couldn't help quickening his pace.

Just as Qin Ce thought Zhang Jiu had just woken up at this time, still looking sleepy, dazed and a little cute, Qin Ce felt something strange in his heart, as if he could see it every day. It is a very happy thing to see Zhang Jiu like this.

The anger of getting up has not dissipated, Zhang Jiu almost closed his eyes to wash up, and after washing his face, he took the towel handed by Qin Ce. For the services Qin Ce provided from time to time, Zhang Jiu has already experienced the flattering at the beginning, and then Now the process of gradually getting used to it.

Sometimes Zhang Jiu wonders if this is not good, the other party is a prince anyway, but this is not something he can stop, he doesn't care if people like it, and he doesn't suffer, even if Qin Ce has some conspiracy He secretly took precautions because of his conspiracy. So far, Zhang Jiu has been able to feel at ease when enjoying Qin Ce's service.

After washing, Zhang Jiu's mushy mind was completely awake. The two of them hadn't talked yet. The shopkeeper of the inn and Jiang Ning seemed to have timed it right. One came to deliver the food and the other came to eat.

"Master Jiu, the exam is going to take place in three days. Should we prepare the things we will bring into the exam room?" Jiang Ning asked. He mainly reminded Zhang Jiu not to forget this time. Anyway, his exam is just a foil. How about it? It doesn't matter.

Without waiting for Zhang Jiu to answer, the shopkeeper at the side said, "You two don't have to worry about these trivial matters, I have already prepared them for you, and I will send them to you in a while."

"Shopkeeper, you are so careful and thoughtful, and the service is great." Jiang Ning looked at the shopkeeper with bright eyes, what is meticulous, this is, no matter what you can think of, he will arrange for you, thinking about you and worrying about you What's urgent is that such a person really cannot be disliked, "I think it's a pity that the shopkeeper is living in this small inn. Do you have any ideas for finding another job?"

"I don't know what Young Master Jiang is talking about?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"What do you think of being my personal butler?" Jiang Ning felt that such a talent would really anger people if he didn't take it for his own use.

"I think it's better to live in this small inn," the shopkeeper replied without thinking.

"Shopkeeper, do you dislike me?" It must be.

"Young Master Jiang misunderstood. Although this inn is small, it was passed down from my ancestors. If I were to abandon me, how would I have the face to face my dead ancestors? I can only appreciate Young Master Jiang's kindness."

"But whose ancestors didn't want their descendants to be able to honor their ancestors? Your ancestors must be able to understand you." Jiang Ning didn't believe the shopkeeper's rhetoric at all.

"I think the shopkeeper wants to say that not only can't you honor your ancestors, but you can also humiliate your ancestors. You must be self-aware." Qin Ce said.

Jiang Ning glared at Qin Ce, then looked at the shopkeeper pitifully, hoping that the shopkeeper would give him justice.

"That's not what I mean, I'm just used to being free and don't like restraint," the shopkeeper explained under Jiang Ning's gaze.

"It's a very modest statement," Qin Ce continued to provoke.

Jiang Ning glared at Qin Ce without daring to say anything, and pretended to be generous in order to regain lost face, "The shopkeeper said it earlier, am I the kind of person who will make things difficult for others?"

"Yes, I was wrong, please forgive me, Mr. Jiang"

Jiang Ning was still about to say something, when he heard the commotion outside, as if something important had happened, several people looked at each other, and finally the shopkeeper recommended himself to go out to inquire.

Although the shopkeeper is not young, his calf kung fu is fast, and he will come back after a while, "Three gentlemen, someone committed suicide by throwing himself into a well, it seems to be an examinee who lives in our inn."

The shopkeeper's face was worried, and his heart felt bitter. Why did the candidates who lived in their inn have an accident?Why do you have to throw a well in their inn?What would he do with his business after something like this happened?

Suicide by throwing himself into a well?Hearing that even if the dead person is a stranger, the three of Zhang Jiu lost their appetite, Qin Ce thought for a while and said, "Let's go and have a look."

It was just discovered that the government officials had not yet arrived, and almost everyone in the inn was whispering and guessing the cause of death of the deceased. The three of Zhang Jiu walked through the crowd to the backyard and saw the covered corpse. They said the names of the dead.

Xu Jian, Zhang Jiu had some vague impressions, that was the proud scholar who had argued with Jiang Ning, and later they also met a few times, every time he saw him, he always looked so lonely, in Zhang Jiu's heart Such a person is an angry youth and cynical.

There are three days left before the exam. It is said that a person like Xu Jian should work hard to become a blockbuster in the exam, but why did he choose to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well?An idea suddenly popped up in Zhang Jiu's mind, could it be that he chose to commit suicide because of too much pressure?There are too many such things in modern times, Zhang Jiu thinks this may be very big.

But for people who commit suicide, especially those who commit suicide because they cannot stand the pressure, Zhang Jiu looks down on them very much. People often say that there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. Irresponsibility to himself, and irresponsibility to his family, he is dead, but how miserable is the living?

Jiang Ning bumped Zhang Jiu who was in deep thought with his arm, "Jiu Ye, the yamen servant is here, let me go"

Zhang Jiu came back to his senses and saw that the government had sent someone forward, and he stepped back a few steps with the others to make way.

The yamen servant who came here immediately sealed off the scene and asked Wu Zuo to start the autopsy. The result was not much different from what the shopkeeper said. Xu Jian had no trauma on his body, nor did he find anything unusual. Everything showed that he had indeed committed suicide by throwing himself into a well.

After the corpse was taken away, the yamen servant asked everyone about some related matters. Xu Jian himself was a bit withdrawn and didn't talk to other people very much. He would study hard behind closed doors on weekdays and would not go out unless he had to. So the yamen servant found nothing wrong after asking, and then the yamen servant went to check the room where Xu Jian lived.

"Master Jiu, do you think Xu Jian really committed suicide?" Jiang Ning was a little skeptical. How hard would it be for a person to commit suicide?He thought he would not choose such an extreme way to end himself.

"It should be, isn't the result of Wu's autopsy also the same?" Zhang Jiu said quietly, maybe it was really like what he thought, Xu Jian committed suicide because the pressure of the exam was too much to bear.

"Why do you say he is doing this? Life is so beautiful, if there is anything you can't see, you have to choose to die to solve it, and the good years of life will be gone like this," Jiang Ning sighed.

"Not everyone thinks of you like this, and they all cherish their lives like you, that's why this kind of thing happened"

"Of course I want to cherish my life. You must know that human life is only once. No matter who you are, there is no way to change the fact that life cannot be repeated. Master Jiu, do you think Xu Jian will regret it?" Never give up!

"I don't know, maybe you can ask him in person if he regrets it." Zhang Jiu squinted at Jiang Ning and suggested, Zhang Jiu suddenly felt that he was lucky, and other people's lives might not be able to come back, but he had it once. Chance of rebirth.

"Let's not do it!" Jiang Ning felt as if a dark wind was blowing in front of him, and couldn't help shrinking his neck. The ghost or something is really scary, and he doesn't want to experience it for himself. Leave it to the brave, he's timid.
