After a thorough investigation in the past two months, the assassination case of the prime minister was finally coming to an end. The three judges competed openly and secretly in front of the palace. Officials, big and small, beheaded batch after batch. The entire capital was panicked for a while, and all the officials were overwhelmed.

At the time of Grain Grain, the case finally came to an end, and Xing Shuo, who was about to stay in the prison until he was moldy, was finally fished out by Bandit Chu and changed back into the red eagle uniform, so Mr. Xing felt a little bit of brotherhood In love, he wanted to find Chu Bandit to get drunk, but was told that Chu Bandit took Zhao Liangyue to Haitang Forest in the western suburbs of the city early in the morning.

"The begonias have already passed their flowering period, so there is really nothing to see." Zhao Liangyue looked at the begonia forest not far away, and poured cold water on Bandit Chu who was going there with great interest.

Bandit Chu smiled as if he didn't understand, "Could it be that Xilin is still thinking about drinking Mrs. Chu's daughter red last time, so she's embarrassed to go over?"

Zhao Liangyue stopped talking and went straight to the Begonia forest, as if to prove that he didn't think about that matter.

Bandit Chu looked at the man in green shirt in front of him, and couldn't help smiling, thinking, to deal with Xi Lin, the aggressive method is really better.

The two walked along the river bank. Because it had been raining recently, Jing Mo and You Bai held umbrellas and followed them at a distance. Knowing this, he took Youbai to practice martial arts elsewhere and eat cakes.

As soon as Zhao Liangyue sat down in Shiting, he saw Chu Bandit dug out another jar of wine from the side.

"..." Zhao Liangyue had lingering fears in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Master Chu, didn't you bury all the wine you made before?"

"This altar was indeed buried before." Bandit Chu carefully placed the wine on the table, but had no intention of uncovering it, but carefully wiped off the soil, and said, "I dug it out for the owner of this altar. "

Zhao Liangyue raised his eyes to look at Chu Bandit, his peach blossom eyes were obviously stained with a faint mist, and he asked, "Is it your very important friend before?"

"It's the youngest son of Senior Wang, and he used to call me brother one by one." Chu Bandit looked at him, "Back then, Xing Shuo and I were going to bury our daughter-in-law here. He was still young and didn't know what it meant to marry a wife. , but insisted that we take him with us, so we have this jar of wine."

Then this altar of wine has been buried here, because its owner died in the catastrophe 13 years ago.Thinking of this, Zhao Liangyue couldn't help sighing. Seeing that Bandit Chu still refused to address him as a teacher, he knew that the scars carved by that catastrophe would definitely not disappear with the passage of time. People are put in invisible shackles for the rest of their lives.

What kind of person is Chu Bandit?

Zhao Liangyue felt that he was still an invisible person.From the first time I met him in Beijing, he looked like a rascal, and then I got a glimpse of the corner of him who has been seeking skin with a tiger for 13 years. He has thousands of faces, and people can't tell which side is the real him.

But Zhao Liangyue had to admit that, as the most proud student of his teacher, Chu Biao possessed courage and patience beyond his own. His city mansion is very deep, but when you get closer and look up, you can see what he is persistently guarding—— Chu bandit, it is impossible for the teacher to forget, let alone believe in his betrayal.

Zhao Liangyue suddenly thought, Youbai once said that they are like brothers.So, Zhao Liangyue walked up to Chu bandit in a strange way, and called out: "Senior brother."

Bandit Chu was stunned, and seemed to come to his senses after a while, and raised his head to look at Zhao Liangyue, his peach blossom eyes flickering.

"We are all the teacher's students, and we are also from the same school. I should call you brother."

"You, trust me?"

Zhao Liangyue frowned, and said with a smile: "It's come to this point, believe it or not, don't need to say it."

Bandit Chu immediately laughed too, and said, "Xi Lin, it's easy to be misunderstood when you say that."

Zhao Liangyue showed doubts on his face, thinking that bandit Chu was talking nonsense again.

"Xi Lin, you actually yelled, so don't take it back. From now on, you should call senior brother in private." Bandit Chu leaned over and said, "Shout a few more times, I didn't hear clearly just now."

"..." Zhao Liangyue turned his head to the side, turned to look at the jar of wine, and asked, "I dug out the wine for that child today, who are you going to give it to?"

"When the child died in the sea of ​​fire, at the age of sixteen, he had fallen in love with a girl. Now that girl has reached the age of marriage, but suddenly died of a sudden illness. I thought that the two of them might meet again on Huangquan Road. The jar of wine is just right for you." Chu Bandit looked at the jar of wine, smiled, and said, "But that child has always been careless, and the wine I made is probably worse than mine. That girl must be like you, wrinkled. He frowns and refuses to take a second sip."

Zhao Liangyue couldn't help sighing, and asked: "Everyone involved in the old case back then was the soul of the sword, how could he be buried in the flames?"

Chu Bandit's fingers touched the altar's daughter Hong, who had been buried for more than ten years, as if caught in a long memory, and said word by word: "Because I refused to be punished."

Back then in Kyoto, Fan's army's treason cast a layer of ashes on the entire court. The late emperor was furious and executed tens of thousands of people one after another, putting everyone at risk.After the case was finalized, Fan Jiajun, who was staying in Beijing, committed suicide in front of the Meridian Gate and invited the invitation with blood, but the late emperor was even more annoyed, and he ordered to be executed together with the officials who were on duty that day.

Two branches of the Wang family, one branch, Wang Xian, turned the tide in the treason case and won the favor of the emperor. Cut, no longer the glory of the past.

When the imperial decree arrived at Wang Yu's mansion, Wang Yi's young son, dressed in hemp and mourning, came out from the gate of the mansion with his hands behind his back.

At that time, his father and two elder brothers had been poisoned to death by the late emperor, and the world cursed and abused Wang Taboo's lineage, but Wang Yi's expression was still resolute, his demeanor was as calm as a cedar, and he faced the arresters. The imperial guards and officials who were arrested showed no fear on their faces, bowed their hands to the sky, listed Wang Han's ten crimes, denounced the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then set the whole mansion on fire.

That was the choice Wang Yi had made long ago. The fire oil, dry firewood and other things were prepared in advance, and everyone in the mansion was willing to die together.The fire burned for seven days and seven nights, and since then the world has become a tomb, to show the injustice.

"At that time, the remaining members of the Wang family, a total of two hundred and one, were buried in the sea of ​​fire, with no bones left." Bandit Chu still put his hand on the jar of wine, looked up at the dark clouds approaching from a distance, and said, "For seven days and seven nights, there was no rain. Xing Shuo and I stayed outside and waited for seven days and seven nights. We could only watch helplessly as the entire mansion was engulfed in flames."

Zhao Liangyue let out a long sigh, frowned and said, "Teacher never mentioned his wife and children to me until his death."

"Things that have been lost, no matter how they make up, they will become regrets." Bandit Chu looked at Zhao Liangyue, with a faint smile on his bitter mouth, and said, "So what is in front of you must not be lost again."

Zhao Liangyue nodded in agreement, and said, "The grievances between Fan Jiajun and Teacher will definitely be made known to the world."

At this time, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a bang, and the rain poured down.

Seeing that they couldn't go back for a while, they sat down in the stone pavilion.

Bandit Chu looked around, and knowingly asked: "Obviously Jingmo and Youbai took umbrellas, so I don't know where they are going now."

"It's okay." Zhao Liangyue said without doubting him, "Youbai is playful, and most likely he pestered Jingmo to take him to practice martial arts and buy some snacks."

Since the two had nothing to do, Zhao Liangyue used stones to draw a nine-square chessboard on the table on a whim.

Chu Bie smiled and said, "This is for children, shouldn't we play Go?"

Zhao Liangyue rubbed his hands that were sore from carving with stones, hehe said: "Just draw something to pass the time, is it possible that you really want to draw a chessboard?"

Bandit Chu nodded his head solemnly, and really took the stone from Zhao Liangyue's hand.

So Zhao Liangyue just sat there quietly, looking at Chu Bandit who was facing him with his head down and scratching, his eyes were very serious.

"Master Chu, do you really want to finish drawing? There are nineteen lines in total."

"Call Senior Brother, there is no one around."

"...I don't want to call anymore."

Bandit Chu looked up at the shameless Zhao Liangyue, and said, "Then let's play chess later, if I win, you can call me Senior Brother."

Zhao Liangyue said to himself: "Okay."

As a result, Bandit Chu's scribing movements were visibly much faster.

"By the way, I have doubts about one thing." Zhao Liangyue tapped the edge of the stone table lightly with his fingers, and said, "How could Li Village, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, be a fake? Is this all wrong?"

"If you compare the real and fake portraits of two people, you won't be able to tell the difference, because although they are not the same person, they are related by blood." Chu Bandit said, "When General Weiyuan Li Jun was there, He was quite famous in the court, so the first emperor gave him a princess to be his wife. The princess was virtuous and virtuous, but ordinary-looking, so Li Jun soon had several concubines. Later the princess noticed, Not only did they not blame them, but they were taken to the mansion and treated as sisters."

"Later, Li Jun really committed a crime. He actually wanted to admit a brothel girl and make him his side wife. The princess couldn't bear the humiliation and argued with her, but Li Jun still forcibly brought back the brothel girl and them. At that time, the princess was pregnant, so she was so angry that she gave birth prematurely, and died the year after giving birth. But at this time, Li Jun began to understand the kindness of the princess again, and took one of the princesses' boudoir names. Village' as the name of their eldest son, and they doted on Li Cun like life."

"It's a coincidence that the son of the brothel woman looks exactly like Li Cun since he was a child. After the death of the princess, Li Jun left only the child and executed the brothel woman. What is the use of the child? The eldest son's substitute, because the imperial court frequently used troops against Mobei in those years, as one of the generals, Li Jun and his family would inevitably be assassinated. But Li Jun never imagined that the bastard who was like a shadow and was used as the eldest son's shield would one day It will be a sharp sword, piercing the throat of the eldest son and taking its place."

After listening, Zhao Liangyue sighed and said, "It's not easy to know the secrets of such an aristocratic family."

Chu Bie smiled: "Because of your senior brother, I was lucky, and I really found out. Li Muxun, the son of Li Village, really has a good eye. He is full of civil and military affairs, so he just spotted me at a glance. He thinks that I am the only one." I can reverse the case for his father. Then you see, the best weapon to break the situation is coming? They want to use Li Village to deal with me, so I will give them a big gift to make them fall short."

"Xilin, I often think, if we were opponents, how would you deal with me? Well, I guess you are willing to do it, but I am not."

"..." Zhao Liangyue waved his hand, signaling Chu Bandit to quickly draw a line.

"Tsk, speaking of it, in the final analysis, Li Jun is still blind. Such a good wife can't let her go, she has to find a trouble to come back." Chu Gui looked at Zhao Liangyue with a smile in his peach eyes, and said, "I won't It's the same, I only recognize my own person, and mine is still a peerless beauty."

Zhao Liangyue got goose bumps when he heard it, and said with a smile: "If you are so straightforward, if you really meet a girl who says that, you will only be beaten."

Bandit Chu smiled when he heard the words, but didn't answer. He just kept his head down and continued to draw the line.

Then, when the nineteen lines were drawn horizontally and vertically, and Chu Bandit was just picking stones to make chess pieces—the sky cleared up.

Bandit Chu: "..."
