182、Company Beware
On the wall facing east of the study room is a framed ink painting, with mountains and rivers stretching and the sun and the moon alternating. Du Lingchun is not a person who dances with words and ink, but he is very fond of this painting, and brought it back to the capital all the way.
This kind of thing is contrary to his usual style.
When Du Lingchun was sitting quietly in the study, Gongsun Zhuoyu was also led by Wu Yue to the gate of Sigong Mansion. The servant girl had been waiting early in the morning, and when she saw this, she stepped forward and said, "Sigong has an order, please ask Guard Wu to take Mr. Gongsun to the study."
The study is an important place, except for a few of Du Lingchun's confidantes and staff, no one is allowed to enter it.
Wu Yue knew that Du Lingchun valued Gongsun Zhuoyu, so he was not surprised, he just nodded slightly to show his understanding.
The company's mansion is very large, passing through several back doors, passing through a viewing garden, and finally a winding corridor. Flying eaves and pavilion corners, rockery and flowing water, and even many rare and exotic animals, completely refreshed Gongsun Zhuoyu's understanding of the word "luxury".
He felt that he was grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and a bumpkin entering the city, and everything seemed new.
Gongsun Zhuoyu listened to the news calmly: "Guard Wu, the company raises rare and exotic animals here, aren't you afraid of scaring the female family members of the mansion?"
Wu Yue said with a serious look: "There are no female relatives in the mansion."
Gongsun Zhuoyu sighed: "It's beautiful, but it's such a big place, and only the company lives there, so it's unavoidably empty."
I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to bring him one, the Beijing Inn is a bit expensive.
"It's not empty," Wu Yue said, "There are also maids and servants to protect the diners."
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "..."
They walked for another half a stick of incense before they reached the door of the study. Wu Yue stepped forward and knocked on the door of the room, his voice respectful: "Report to the company, Lord Gongsun has brought you here."
Du Lingchun heard the commotion in the room, got up subconsciously, but thought of something, sat back again, paused for a moment before saying: "Come in."
These two words are naturally only for Gongsun Zhuoyu.
Wu Yue stepped aside and said, "Master Gongsun, please come in."
Gongsun Zhuoyu was actually a little nervous and couldn't explain why. He made mental preparations for a while before pushing the door open and entering. In the center of the study is a half-person-high staggered golden pan beast incense burner, with a tufted flower woven blanket on the lower floor, and a floor-to-ceiling flower and bird screen in the middle to separate the two sides.
Gongsun Zhuoyu looked around, and finally cast his eyes on the screen, and asked tentatively to the back: "Company?"
Du Lingchun held the teacup, and raised his eyelids when he heard the words, when he heard Gongsun Zhuoyu's voice, he inevitably remembered what happened last time, and threw the tea cover back with a bang.
Du Lingchun got up from the chair, and the hem of his robe brushed against the ground, making a unique soft sound of silk. He walked in front of the screen, then stopped, but asked in a sullen voice: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, are you guilty?"
Standing behind the screen, Gongsun Zhuoyu was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately recalled in his mind where he had offended Du Lingchun, but the answer was no. Except... except last time I dreamed...
Gongsun Zhuoyu couldn't think about that dream, and when he thought about it, his ears started to burn. He pinched his earlobe unconsciously, and said through the screen: "Sigong, sir... I don't know where I made a mistake..."
Du Lingchun saw Gongsun Zhuoyu's anxious sweat through the dark lines of the screen. He thought to himself that this person was eloquent when he was arguing with the scholar in Juxian Pavilion, but when he came in front of him, he became clumsy with his tongue.
There was silence.
"..."
Du Lingchun lowered his eyes, and his tone could not hear the emotion: "What did you do last time, don't you know in your heart?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu was even more confused, so he changed Du Lingchun's clothes without doing anything. Now I couldn't help it anymore, and poked my head out from behind the screen: "Sigong, the officer only changed your clothes, but nothing else."
He didn't know that the three words "change clothes" were already dancing wildly in Du Lingchun's minefield.
Du Lingchun stared: "Bastard, you dare to mention it again!"
He didn't know why, when he thought that Gongsun Zhuoyu might see some ugly scars that shouldn't be seen, his fingertips trembled twice. I couldn't tell whether it was anger or embarrassment, but my body was so stiff that it was difficult to even move.
Gongsun Zhuoyu immediately raised his hands in surrender, and shut up obediently: "Don't mention it, don't mention it."
Facing his innocent appearance, Du Lingchun couldn't express his temper at all. He simply turned around with a flick of his sleeves and remained silent. It took a while to realize that I was overly emotional just now, and it was really not an attitude to win people over.
Du Lingchun eased his tone: "When did you arrive in the capital?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu hit the snake and put it on the stick: "Go back to the company, I entered Beijing this morning."
Du Lingchun glanced at the sky outside, it was already noon, he frowned slightly: "Why don't you come to me?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the tip of his nose: "I originally planned to find a place to stay before visiting the company."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Du Lingchun seems to be a little lighter than when he was in Jiangzhou, and his already feminine appearance has become thinner, not like ordinary men's masculinity.
After hearing his explanation, Du Lingchun felt a little better. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Looking for a place to stay? Could it be that the Sigong Mansion can't accommodate the big Buddha like Lord Gongsun?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled happily when he heard the words, thinking that I'll just wait for your words, he stepped forward and said: "Then there will be Mr. Lao, and the officials will bother you."
He is a serious man, tall and strong, when approaching, his breath will wrap Du Lingchun's whole body, very aggressive. Du Lingchun froze, and wanted to avoid it, but for some reason, he couldn't move forward.
open pace.
Although the eunuchs in the palace have passed away, most of them only love women and rarely have the habit of breaking their sleeves. Du Lingchun has always been indifferent to the affairs of men and women, but he never thought that he had such a hobby. But every time he faced Gongsun Zhuoyu, he became uncertain again.
Du Lingchun sat down behind the desk, opened the distance between the two of them calmly, frowned tightly, and simply talked about another matter: "Do you know why His Majesty called you to Beijing?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu said: "I have heard that three important officials died for no reason. Your Majesty wants me to find out the truth."
Du Lingchun said, "This is just one of them."
When he said this, he gritted his teeth and slowly rubbed his fingertips: "Jing Zhaoyin was killed for no reason, and his position was left empty. I wanted to play Ming Sheng, and take you from the river." When you were transferred from the state, your qualifications are still inexperienced and you still need to practice, so you were rejected directly."
ah?
Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that he was too miserable, the fat in his mouth flew away before he ate it? Yan Fu is nothing!
Du Lingchun seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "You don't have to worry, stay in the capital for now and help investigate the case, I will push you up sooner or later."
Although Gongsun Zhuoyu solved those two cases, they were ordinary people. This case involved court officials, and it must be complicated behind the scenes. He didn't dare to guarantee that he would find out, so he subconsciously glanced at Du Lingchun: "Then if the lower officials can't find out..."
Du Lingchun raised his eyes: "If you can't find it out, you can't find it out. Our company can still eat you?"
It doesn't make sense to say this again. Since he wanted to win over Gongsun Zhuoyu, he naturally valued his talent, if he couldn't even find out the case, the other party would become a useless pawn, so he didn't need to bother to train him.
But Du Lingchun didn't realize at all that his desire to make Gongsun Zhuoyu a success was greater than his desire to let him help him.
Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled: "The next official will never let the company down."
Du Lingchun recommended himself, and Yan Fu recommended Tang Feishuang. If Gongsun Zhuoyu can't find out the truth at that time, wouldn't even Du Lingchun be ashamed, unable to hold his head up in front of Yan Fu.
Gongsun Zhuoyu thought about this, and couldn't help asking: "Do you have detailed files for the three people who died?"
Du Lingchun knew that he would ask such a question, and handed him a stack of papers: "This is the file of the Ministry of Punishment, just wait and see, after Tang Feishuang enters Beijing, you will meet together Your Majesty, let’s investigate this case together.”
The first person to die was Dong Qianli, governor of Liangzhou. On his way back to Beijing to report on his duties, he stopped at the inn. Unexpectedly, he was found dead on the bed early the next morning. His face was completely peeled off, and he fell into a pool of blood.
On the table next to it was a piece of paper left by the murderer. According to the cleaning maid, it was sent by someone who sent it the night before Dong Qianli died.
There is a poem written on that paper, which is Gao Shi's "Farewell to Dong Da": thousands of miles of yellow clouds and white sun, the north wind blows geese and snow. Mo Chou has no confidant in the future, who in the world does not know the king?
Seeing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu thought it was a bit interesting, and continued to flip through the file.
The second person to die was Guo Han, the servant of the household department. When he went to the brothel to recruit prostitutes at night, he was assassinated by the murderer in the oiran's boudoir. His whole body was broken in two from the waist, and his intestines spilled all over the floor.
Also the day before his death, he inexplicably received a piece of paper left by the murderer. The poem on the paper was the first half of Qin Guan's "Thousands of Years Beyond the Water by the Sand": Beyond the Sand by the Water. The city is cold in spring. The shadows of flowers are chaotic, and the sound of orioles is broken. Drifting and sparse wine cups, parting undress. No one is seen, and the blue clouds and the sky face each other at dusk.
When Gongsun Zhuoyu saw this, he had already discovered something, but in order to confirm something, he continued to look back a page.
The third deceased was Jing Zhaoyin Chu Lianjiang. His eyes were gouged out by the murderer, and his body was hung above the yamen lobby with a piece of paper pressed under the gavel. Lianjiang entered Wu at night, and Pingming sent off guests to Chushangu. Relatives and friends in Luoyang asked each other, and a heart of ice was in the jade pot.
Gongsun Zhuoyu looked at Du Lingchun: "This murderer is really crazy."
Du Lingchun raised his eyebrows slightly: "What did you see?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled: "The lower official thinks that the person who wrote the murderous letter just hasn't seen the evidence of the corpse, and the lower official can't make a random judgment."
At present, three court officials died, and before the death, the murderer would send a poem with their names on it. In a sense, this murderer has strong martial arts and arrogant personality, and seems to be blatantly mocking the incompetence of the court.
In the serial murder case, the next person who received the poem would be his target. It is conceivable that the Chinese and military officials of the court were panicked, for fear that they would be involved.
Naturally, Du Lingchun wanted Gongsun Zhuoyu to know more information, so as not to be caught by that troublesome Tang Feishuang: "I will take you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice tomorrow, and the bodies of those three people will be parked there. What do you want?" You can check how you want, with me here, others dare not say more."
Gongsun Zhuoyu wondered if this was the feeling of having a backer. He looked at Du Lingchun's indistinguishable eyebrows and eyes calmly, then smiled, but said an irrelevant sentence: "The company seems to have lost some weight... ..."
The voice was deep and concerned, not as frivolous as before.
Du Lingchun raised his eyes subconsciously when he heard the words, caught his gaze unexpectedly, shook his hand, and almost smashed the teacup. Gongsun Zhuoyu quickly pressed the teacup with his eyes, then put it firmly in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Company, be careful."
The author has something to say: Gongsun Zhuoyu: Hey, hold hands
