183. Where is the face of the corpse?

The fingertips of the two of them touched, which at first glance appeared to be a gesture of a handshake. Du Lingchun felt that Gongsun Zhuoyu's palm was a little hotter than the teacup, but fortunately the latter withdrew his palm after a while, so as not to make the scene too embarrassing.

"..."

Du Lingchun took a look at Gongsun Zhuoyu, tried his best to ignore the strange feeling just now, and put the teacup on the table: "You stay in the east courtyard, and have a banquet in the evening, and I will introduce you to a few people."

The fact that Du Lingchun came to where he is today is naturally not all due to some wine bags and rice bags. There are many advisers under his sect, among which Song Xitang and Leng Wuyan are the most powerful, they are all famous people who are full of strategies.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was startled when he heard the words, wondering if Du Lingchun was going to pull him into the core group, he was unavoidably surprised. Although they are all members of the sect, they are also divided into three schools and nine streams, and they are close relatives, especially Du Lingchun, who is in a high position.

Poke through that layer of window paper, who among the officials has not formed a party for personal gain, who has not accepted bribes privately, and who has not done shameful things? And these things need to be handed over to the confidants. If you meet someone with ulterior motives and get caught by political opponents, you will endanger yourself at every turn, so be cautious.

I haven't seen in TV dramas, in order to gain the trust of the villain, the protagonist often needs decades of lurking and working hard. It was the first one that directly airborne the central group like Gongsun Zhuoyu.

Gongsun Zhuoyu wondered if Du Lingchun trusted him too much, so he couldn't hold back and said, "The company is not afraid..."

Du Lingchun asked back: "What are you afraid of?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu was inexplicable, swallowed back the words that came to his lips, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

At night, a banquet is held in Fenglaishui Pavilion. Song Xitang walked all the way to the Luoyue Lake, and happened to meet Leng Wuyan, who stroked his mustache, which was less than an inch long, and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Leng, what a coincidence."

Leng Wuyan is a tuberculosis ghost, with a thin complexion, who coughs ten times when he says a few words, but he is full of knowledge and capable of planning and making decisions, so he was recruited by Du Lingchun. Seeing Song Xitang, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, his voice hoarse: "Mr. Song."

Song Xitang walked side by side with him, while walking towards Fenglai Shuixie, gossiping: "I don't know what kind of person this Gongsun Zhuoyu is, who can make the company value him so much, and finally I can see you today."

He has no other hobbies in his life, but he likes antique calligraphy and paintings. He was amazed by Du Lingchun's "Mountains, Rivers, Wind and Moon" brought from Jiangzhou, and he couldn't put it down. It's a pity that I couldn't get it after asking for it several times, so I have a good impression of Gongsun Zhuoyu in my heart.

Leng Wuyan coughed twice again, and said in an unclear manner: "I heard that this person has repeatedly solved strange cases in Jiangzhou and defended the people. He has a good reputation."

The implication is that they are not on the same road as them, and they cast themselves under Du Lingchun's sect for no reason, and I'm afraid that their thoughts are not pure.

Song Xitang is a smart person, he immediately understood the meaning of his words, and didn't care: "The company has always been cautious, so it must have its own arrangements."

While speaking, he had already arrived at the banquet hall. Song Xitang saw Du Lingchun sitting on the right seat, and next to him was a gentleman in a brocade robe, with a white shirt and a jade belt, with a clean and upright style, it was expected to be Gongsun Zhuoyu.

Song Xitang bowed to Du Lingchun: "The company is surprised, I am late."

He was already half a cup of tea early, but he didn't expect Du Lingchun to arrive earlier than ever before, so he apologized.

Leng Wuyan also cupped his hands, and couldn't hold back, coughing twice.

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked at the two confidants calmly. I saw that they were all in their early thirties. Song Xitang has a black beard and looks elegant. Leng Wuyan is disfigured, three parts like a ghost, seven parts like a human, at first glance it looks like a serious illness.

Du Lingchun waved his sleeves: "No problem, sir, please take a seat."

After speaking, he introduced to Gongsun Zhuoyu: "This is Mr. Song from Song Xitang, and that is Mr. Leng Wuyan Leng."

Song Xitang is a smart man, when he took his seat, he cupped his hands to Du Lingchun and said, "Dare to ask the boss, this is Mr. Gongsun, right?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu got up quickly and said: "I can't afford to be an adult, sir, just call me Zhuoyu."

Both of them are thoughtful people, and they both smiled and groaned.

Du Lingchun thought to himself that he hadn't seen Gongsun Zhuoyu being so close to him, and when they met, they still talked to each other as officials and companies. Hanging down his eyes, he took a sip of tea, and hummed with no emotion: "Gongsun Zhuoyu is unparalleled in solving the case. I transferred him to Beijing, intending to fill the position of Jing Zhaoyin. What do you think, sir?"

Song Xitang said: "Jing Zhaoyin is in charge of Gyeonggi, which is an important position. It would be great if he can be arranged. I'm afraid Yan and others will stop him."

Furthermore, Gongsun Zhuoyu is currently only the magistrate of the county. It is too fast to become Jing Zhaoyin.

Du Lingchun said: "It's okay, a few days ago many officials in the court were killed, the emperor has ordered Gongsun Zhuoyu to assist the criminal department to handle the case, and when he finds out the truth and makes great contributions, it will be natural to push it forward It's a matter of course."

Leng Wuyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Master Gongsun will settle the case?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked over, not knowing why he asked, "Knows a little trick."

Leng Wuyan is a typical person with many minds like sifting chaff, he has to plan everything, and said thoughtfully: "If you can play tricks, lead the disaster to Yan Fu, and break his arms, Wouldn’t it be a feat.”

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that Leng Wuyan really deserved to be the legendary green ghost face and poisonous snake heart. But it's a pity, it's easy for him to investigate the case, and he really doesn't know how to do this, so he didn't make a sound.

Leng Wuyan coughed for a while, raised his eyes to look at Gongsun Zhuoyu

, as if he could see through his inner thoughts: "Master Gongsun doesn't want to?"

A few simple words, it is inevitable to think too much in the ears of others. Especially Du Lingchun was suspicious by nature, so he might think that Gongsun Zhuoyu had ulterior motives. Leng Wuyan is digging a hole without any trace.

Song Xitang rubbed his hands, feeling a little worried.

Gongsun Zhuoyu said bluntly: "I really don't want to."

Leng Wuyan didn't expect him to be so calm, subconsciously looked at Du Lingchun, but the latter didn't see any sullenness, and just said indifferently: "He came to investigate the case, and those messy things can't be done."

The blatant partiality in the words can be heard by everyone.

Leng Wuyan guessed Du Lingchun's reaction wrongly for the first time in his life. He originally thought that when the other party heard Gongsun Zhuoyu's answer, he would either be sullen and angry, or secretly suspicious, in short, he would not expose it lightly like he is now.

"The company said so."

Leng Wuyan could only let go, but his doubts did not diminish in his heart. Gongsun Zhuoyu was obviously not in the same way as them, so he hastily wooed them over, what if it was Yan Fu's secret agent?

In fact, Gongsun Zhuoyu felt a little regretful after saying that sentence, what if Du Lingchun was offended. He took a sip of his wine, and quietly looked at the seat above, unexpectedly found that Du Lingchun was also looking at him, so he quickly looked away, not daring to look up from behind.

After drinking for three rounds, the banquet was over.

Song Xitang was surprised to find that he and Gongsun Zhuoyu actually had the same tastes... Ah no, they share the same goals, for example, they both like valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, rare and rare treasures, and they chatted happily in the audience.

When Song Xitang left, he was still a little reluctant: "Master Gongsun, I will definitely ask you for painting skills in the next day, and I hope you will not hesitate to teach me."

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Wherever it is, it's not a matter of asking for advice, it's about learning from each other."

Leng Wuyan passed by him, coughing in a low voice, and his manners were so thoughtful that no one could see his plan: "Master Gongsun, I can't get wind here, so I'll go back first."

Gongsun Zhuoyu greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Leng, take care."

Turning around, she saw that Du Lingchun had already turned around and left, and the servant girl was holding a lamp in front of her, and she had already walked half of the chashou corridor, and trotted to follow: "Company, company!"

Du Lingchun's footsteps paused, but he didn't stop. When Gongsun Zhuoyu caught up with him, he asked without emotion: "What's the matter?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu was keenly aware that he was not in the right mood, so he took the lantern from the hand of the maid beside him and smiled, "I will light the lantern for the company."

Next to the Chaoshou veranda is the lotus pond, shadowy in the night. Gongsun Zhuoyu held a finely crafted glazed lamp in his hand. The warm yellow candlelight illuminated the road ahead hazyly and cast a shadow on the ground.

Gongsun Zhuoyu asked: "Is the company angry?"

Du Lingchun wondered why Gongsun Zhuoyu had a good time chatting with Song Xitang just now, and why did he come looking for him now. With a flick of his sleeves coldly, his slender brows were wrinkled, and he asked back, "Why am I angry?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that you were obviously angry, and said in a low voice: "If the company wants to bring down Yan Fu, I will do like a dog, but I'm stupid, I know how to investigate cases, but I don't necessarily know how to do tricks. I'm afraid it will ruin the company's major affairs."

He thought Du Lingchun was angry because of this.

Du Lingchun squinted his eyes and looked sideways at him: "Then you are really stupid."

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "..."

qaq He is obviously so smart.

Du Lingchun couldn't see his innocent appearance, waved his sleeves to signal his servants to back away, then said after a pause: "Just solve your case and find out your truth, don't worry about other things, I will do it myself to deal with."

Walking in the middle of the capital, in addition to the power of gold and silver, there is also a backer. Gongsun Zhuoyu is a small county magistrate, if Du Lingchun hadn't been there to protect him, he would have been eaten by others and there would be no scum left.

Gongsun Zhuoyu himself knew this, he couldn't express any feelings in his heart, he simply felt that someone was protecting...it's good...

He looked at Du Lingchun's slender and thin figure in the night, he couldn't help getting closer to him, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, sir."

Gongsun Zhuoyu was holding a lantern in his hand, and suddenly approached, like a hazy light, making it difficult for people in the dark to adapt. Du Lingchun instinctively dodged, but unexpectedly, there were three bluestone steps under his feet, and he stepped on them——

"Company beware!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu's eyes were sharp and his hands quickly grabbed his wrist. With his support, Du Lingchun barely stood still, feeling a little embarrassed, and said in embarrassment: "It's nothing."

He had walked this corridor a hundred times, if not a thousand times, and it was a shame to trip over it.

Gongsun Zhuoyu originally wanted to let go of him, but after hesitating for a moment, he clenched his wrist again: "It's dark and the road is slippery, let me support the company."

Du Lingchun didn't know why, but he didn't refuse. Through his clothes, he could faintly feel Gongsun Zhuoyu's strong fingertips and hot palms. As if to ease the awkward atmosphere, he asked casually, "Your name is Zhuoyu?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yeah, my father said that a gentleman is like jade, first cut it, and then it becomes a tool, so it is named Zhuoyu."

Du Lingchun hummed and didn't speak again. After a while, he suddenly said: "The painting you gave me..."

Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his head subconsciously: "Painting? What's wrong?"

Du Lingchun pursed his lips: "Why isn't the light on?"

In that painting, the red sun shines on the mountains and rivers during the day, and the moon shines on the rivers and rivers at night. However, as time goes by, the place that would have been shining has gradually weakened.

Gongsun Zhuoyu suddenly said: "The company will take out the painting and shine it in the sun from time to time, and it will light up again."

That kind of fluorite itself does not emit light, but only has phosphorescent properties, and it will be excited after being irradiated by sunlight, so it can only last for a while.

Du Lingchun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and was about to say something, but saw that he had already reached the bedroom, and paused in his steps.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was a little uncontrollable, and lightly rubbed Du Lingchun's wrist with his fingertips, only to feel that it was very slender, as if it would break with a little force, and whispered: "Company, earlier Rest."

Inexplicably, some are reluctant to let go of this hand.

But Du Lingchun seemed to have sensed something, his heart skipped a beat for no reason, and then accelerated, almost jumping out of his throat. He looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu in the dark night, his throat tightened, and after a long while he hummed in a blunt tone: "Got it."

Then he slowly pulled out his hand.

The slightly cool sleeve robe was slowly poured away like water at the fingertips, leaving only a little residual warmth. Gongsun Zhuoyu withdrew his hand slowly, and glanced at Du Lingchun: "Then... I will go back to my room first."

Du Lingchun: "Go back, I'll take you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice tomorrow."

The moon is in the middle of the sky, as bright as jade.

Because this serial murder case involved a lot of people, the bodies of the victimized officials were still kept in the ice room and hadn't been buried yet. It stands to reason that they were not allowed to enter without special approval, but Du Lingchun wanted to see it, but there was no one there. Dare to stop.

The guard of the ice room was an old man about fifty years old. He opened the door with a key, pointed to the three corpses covered with white cloth inside and said, "It's all here, sir, don't stay long, it's easy. Got a cold."

Gongsun Zhuoyu stepped into the ice room first, her whole body was immediately eroded by the cold air, fortunately she had practiced martial arts, so she could not stand it. He lifted the white cloth from the body and looked at the first deceased. The first thing that came into view was Liangzhou governor Dong Qianli's bloody face, and he couldn't help asking: "Where's his face?"

The author has something to say: Dong Qianli: I don’t want it anymore.
