Kuaichuanzhi and Zha Gong are in deep love

Yi County, one of the central cities in the north.

Water and land transportation is convenient, the land is fertile, and there is less flood, drought and hunger.

The prefect of the city is diligent in government and close to the people. Five years ago, he won a plaque bestowed by the emperor for his meritorious service in governance.

If one were to mention the eunuch's life story, he would have to talk about it for seven days and seven nights.

The storyteller in the teahouse took a sip of tea, and then spat back the tea leaves.

With a hoarse voice but still in high spirits, it was about the time when Jian Zhizhang cut off his ponytail and went to Beijing for the exam.

In the hall, a spectator interrupted him dissatisfiedly by patting the table.

"Old Xu, you said that since you are in the prefect again, why don't you talk about something new?"

"We can recite all the things on your chopping board. Isn't this tea money so easy to earn!"

After being led by him, someone immediately joined in.

Mr. Xu stroked his sparse strands of beard, and there was a popping sound of "click, click" in his throat.

Most of the storytellers are good talkers, and the scorching sound from Xu Lao's mouth intensified.

Let everyone present hold their breath nervously, as if the fire was close at hand.

Then came the hurried footsteps of men and women and screams of fear.

They fled around, trying to fight the fire but watched themselves trapped in the fire...

"By the way, when it comes to the fire that spread throughout the prefect's mansion ten years ago, everyone must still remember it?"

Of course, no matter whether they are old people or children, how many times they have witnessed or heard about the fire from others.

There was no wind or rain that night, and the fire spread from the remote woodshed. It should not have burned so fiercely.

Unexpectedly, a gust of evil wind suddenly hit, rolled up monstrous flames, and licked towards the nearby houses.

Thirty-six houses were burned, and countless servant girls and servants were burned to death.

The prefect's mansion became ruins overnight, and its former glory no longer exists.

But fortunately in the misfortune, the prefect's family suffered burns except for the eldest son.

The rest escaped unharmed, "And the third son was not among them."

Too much time has passed, and there is still a third young master in the prefect's mansion who has been completely forgotten by everyone.

Mr. Xu said it suddenly, and everyone couldn't react for a while.

Who are these three sons?

The tea house is close to the lake, looking out from the railing, there is a pavilion in the center of the lake, and the curtain is hung for shade.

The indistinct sound of the piano came from the pavilion, bringing a little coolness to the hot weather.

The man in the bamboo hat in the compartment glanced out of the window after hearing the sound of the piano.

Immediately, he looked away again, and was fully focused by Xu Lao's words.

"Perhaps you still vaguely remember 30 years ago, the prefect changed the ancestral system privately to win the beauty's smile?"

"That beauty is Jinniang, and the third son is the son that Jinniang gave birth to for the prefect."

At this time, everyone also realized one after another that the prefect indeed has three sons and one daughter.

And since then, I haven't heard the name of the third son. Could it be because of the accident that year?

People in the front row discussed: "Then why didn't the third young master escape?"

Another person added: "I heard that the third young master is blind!"

The person clapped his hands, "That's why he didn't escape!"

"No, no..." Mr. Xu shook his head, "Actually, there was another thing that happened the day the prefect's mansion was flooded."

Hearing this, the man in the bamboo hat tightened his fingers holding the teacup, and his mood obviously fluctuated.

The plainclothes guard standing beside him stepped forward to ask for instructions, and gestured to silence him.

"Master, do you..."

The man's fingers stiffened, and he poured the cup of tea onto the guard's face.

Wrapped in anger, a broken and twisted voice came from the black veil: "Make your own decision!"

The guard suddenly lowered his head, with fear in his eyes, "Yes!"

On the other end, a group of people were clamoring for Xu Laoyan to be endless.

The sound of the zither on the other end also turned quickly, beating on my heart continuously like a drumbeat.

I don't know if it was because of Xu Lao's words, or because of the sound of the piano downstairs.

Or both, Jian Yun became more and more restless.

What happened back then was a nightmare for him, his face hidden in the black veil was severely burned.

It's like splashing thick ink on a good painting, and everything will be damaged.

No matter how good the medicinal materials are, they can't save his wounds or heal his pain.

The ugly and terrifying appearance turned him from the grand master of the prefect's mansion into a parasite in the dark.

"It's not bad that the third son is blind, and he was the one who stayed in the firewood shed that day!"

The place closest to the fire source is difficult for even ordinary people to escape, let alone that person is blind?

How hopeless and helpless is this?But obviously Jian Shou back then was even worse.

"It's not like this, it's not like this..."

Si Nian lowered his head and clenched his fists, "Ah Shou is not blind."

Jian Shou had been blind for 22 years because of those eyes, so everyone thought he was blind.

Si Nian only felt a puff of air in his chest, and he confused guilt with heartache.

Wu Susu, who was dozing off in his arms, keenly felt his depression.

So he stretched out his hand and placed it on his tight fist, calling out, "Brother..."

Si Nian was immersed in painful memories, looking at the familiar outline on Wu Susu's face, his eyes gradually became hot.

In the end, they all turned into a sigh and said to Wu Susu: "I'm sorry..."

"Why did brother apologize to Susu?"

"Because... because my brother scared Susu."

Wu Susu blinked her bright and clear eyes, as if she was puzzled by his somewhat forced reason.

But he still replied sensiblely: "Brother, don't be sad, I forgive you."

Si Nian gave an inaudible "hmm", and his eyes became more and more red.

He knew very well that his A-Shou would never have the chance to forgive him.

…………

"Mr. Xu, don't try to bluff people! How could the third young master stay in the woodshed?"

"That's right! The prefect's son, regardless of whether he is born in the first place or a concubine, must be a treasure in the palm of his hand."

Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes with a half-smile, "That's a long story again!"

"Hey, it doesn't matter if he is tall or not, at worst, he will be scolded by his own wife when I go home later today."

"Yeah! Mr. Xu, you have to talk about it in detail, don't make us hungry anymore."

Mr. Xu coughed to show everyone to be calm and calm: "I don't dare to make a conclusion about the reason."

"But I still remember when the eunuch's fiftieth birthday, the eunuch's wife invited a Taoist priest to treat the second young master."

A Taoist priest was invited instead of a doctor to treat a disease, and everyone had a vague guess in their hearts.

The second young master at that time was probably recruiting something unclean.

Elder Xu: "This Taoist priest is capable, and he really discovered something unusual in the mansion."

Someone was in a hurry: "What's so unusual? Mr. Xu, you finished it in one breath!"

Xu Lao's next words set off a storm in Si Nian's heart.

He said, "The Taoist priest was also in the prefect's mansion on the day the fire broke out, and found two bones in the pond at the entrance of the Sangongzi's courtyard!"

Everyone gasped, "Could it be that these two are..."

The person who spoke suddenly fell silent, for fear that he would reveal some terrifying truth.

Elder Xu continued: "I dare not say who killed this person, but because of this, the third son was locked in the woodshed."

Some people couldn't help sighing: "The prefect is really admirable, how many people can do such a thing like killing relatives righteously?"

Someone else retorted: "Why did you kill the relatives righteously? The fire in the firewood room didn't say it was set on purpose."

Old Xu: "This guest officer is right. No one knows whether the fire was accidental or man-made."

Si Nian could barely hold the cup of tea, the tea splashed on his fingers, but he didn't seem to have heard it.

Mr. Xu made a mistake. The two bones were not discovered by Wu Weizi. It was Ta Si Nian who discovered them first.

He just didn't know, just didn't know, Jian Shou was found after he ran away.

He didn't know that Wuweizi really went to the prefect's mansion that day, but he didn't save Jianshou as he begged.

What role did Wuweizi play in this farce?

Is there something strange about the cause of Ah Shou's death, or... who killed him?

Si Nian was in a panic, and his mind was in a mess.

He hugged Wu Susu even tighter, which made Wu Susu feel uncomfortable.

Wu Susu twisted her body and pointed at the big jar on the counter.

Said: "Brother, it's too hot, I want to drink cold soup."

Si Nian let go of his arm in a daze, and put Wu Susu on the ground.

"Good boy Susu, the counter is not high, can you serve it yourself?"

Wu Susu raised her eyebrows and replied happily: "Okay! I'll bring the bowl for my brother!"

Si Nian didn't need cold soup, but Wu Susu couldn't wait for his rejection.

He let go of his feet and ran towards the counter. After all, he was just a child.

The sound of the piano in the ear seems to have magic power, which has been affecting Jian Yun's mood.

Looking down at the pavilion in the lake again, you can still see the shadowy figure in the veil,

The sound of the piano actually made him sleepy, Jian Yun stood up and prepared to go back home.

He beckoned to the guards again: "Go and ask the person in the pavilion if he is a luthier, and if so, please invite him into the mansion."

A guard immediately retreated under orders and rushed towards the pavilion in the lake.

The remaining two people still follow behind Jian Yun, a step slower than him.

As soon as Jian Yun came out of the cubicle, he bumped into a child head-on, and his best clothes were completely splashed by two bowls of cold soup.

The child was not much better either, his chest was hit by a bowl, and his clothes became half wet.

The two bowls fell to the ground with a splash, making a piercing cracking sound.

It attracted the attention of many people, and they looked here with their necks straightened.

Wu Susu felt extremely painful. He squatted down halfway holding his chest, and the corners of his eyes were wet.

Jian Yun was in a bad mood at first, but someone made trouble for him!

Before the guard could vent his anger for him, he grabbed the child by the collar and lifted him up into the air.

Because of the excessive range of motion, the black gauze under the bamboo hat flew up for a moment, and Wu Susu, who raised her head in panic, looked straight at her!

That face was the masterpiece of the devil, with twisted scars running through half of the face, and the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose were tangled together.

Wu Susu was so frightened that she screamed, waving her hands and feet indiscriminately, trying to escape.

It was also at that moment that Jian Yun also saw Wu Susu's face clearly.

The other intact eye suddenly enlarged, how could there be such similar people in the world?

But in the gap of daze, the child in his hand was snatched away by others.

Jian Yun hurriedly went to catch it, but it was empty.

The plainclothes guard behind him immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

They formed a confrontation with Si Nian, who was holding the child and looked wary.

Wu Susu, who had gained a sense of security, burst into tears instead.

His nose and eyes were red from crying, and tears were streaming down his face, looking pitiful and cute.

Si Nian was very distressed when he saw Wu Susu being lifted into mid-air by someone grabbing his collar.

My heart skipped a beat, and I rushed over without any hesitation.

While patting Wu Susu's back to comfort him, he questioned, "What do you want to do?"

Jian Yun's gaze was firmly stuck to Wu Susu's face through the black veil, and he refused to let it go.

He smiled a little: "This young man is serious."

Jian Yun changed from his fierceness before, and his attitude was very kind and polite.

"I just want to see if the child is hurt anywhere. It's my recklessness to say it."

"You see, the child's clothes are all soaked. If you don't mind, let's go back home and change. By the way, ask the doctor to take a look at the child to see if there is any injury."

The attitude is so good that he is attentive, it seems that he is not the one who shot the child before.

Si Nian snorted coldly, hugged Wu Susu and wanted to leave here: "I despise you, get out of the way!"

Jian Yun's face under the black veil became more ferocious, and he did not make any concessions.

At this time, two guards stood up, with a tone that could not be refused: "Please also invite the two young masters to accompany our young master to the prefect's mansion!"

Taishoufu?There is only one prefect's mansion in this county!

Under Wu Susu's intermittent crying, Si Nian fell silent strangely.

Then slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said in a cool voice——

"It's work."
