Chapter 31

Ten days later, the interrogation of the three divisions ended, and the issue between Fei Xialou and Lu Ming was reduced to a trivial matter by Wang Han's forces, and ended with the punishment of a group of scapegoats - which was expected and planned.

Bandit Chu took the dossier to Nuange to report to Emperor Ping Chong, and when he came out, he met Han Wenyun as soon as he arrived at the Meridian Gate.

"The next official sees the prime minister."

Han Wenyun signaled the following officials to retreat, and when only the two of them were left around, he looked at Bandit Chu with a smile, and said bluntly, "I thought Mrs. Chu was going to take over the Feixia Building with one pot, and use Pu Yangda to make a fuss, but I didn't expect it to be It's really a good plan to hide the truth from the sky, the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

"The prime minister is overwhelmed."

"I didn't praise you." Han Wenyun straightened his robe, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the dusk outside the Meridian Gate, and said leisurely, "I'm saying that you are stupid, it took 13 years to compete with me , and chose a road of no return."

Bandit Chu smiled lightly, and asked: "Then the official is so bold that he wants to ask the prime minister, why is there no way back?"

"Of course it was the dead end that Wang Taboo took. He is just a lunatic, and you are the same as him." Han Wenyun seemed to think of something, laughed twice, and said, "When you betrayed Wang Taboo, I really thought you I've gotten my head around it, but I didn't expect it to be so stupid. You have to understand that 13 years ago I was able to beat Wang Taboo, but now I can beat you with just a snap of my hands."

Chu bandit asked back: "The prime minister really thinks that the teacher lost to you?"

"That's right, not only him, but also the entire Fan family army." Han Wenyun looked at Chu Bandit's official robe, shook his head and said, "The great talent of the Guozijian, the student of the emperor's teacher, the official to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Look at how beautiful your journey is, but Master Chu, what have you got? Who in the world does not scold you?"

Han Wenyun approached Bandit Chu, sneered and said, "And you won't forget, how did your mother die?"

However, Bandit Chu looked calm, with no waves in his eyes, and he just said indifferently: "The prime minister seems to be paying special attention to the family affairs of the subordinates."

"No, it's just something that everyone in the world talks about, how can I not know?" Han Wenyun sighed softly, looked straight into Chu Bandit's eyes, and said word by word, "In 13 years, the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice have been turned into pieces, but you What can I find out?"

After Han Wenyun finished speaking, he let out a long laugh and left surrounded by a group of officials.

Bandit Chu turned sideways and looked down from the long steps. His scarlet official robe was eye-catching, and the afterglow completely covered him, stretching the shadow very long, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.

You will never forget how your mother died, right?

Every word punishes the heart, every word weeps blood.

Chu Bandit stood for a long time, alone, alone, until the sky faded and the dusk merged.

At the end of the unitary hour, Zhao Liangyue came out from the government office of the household department, but he didn't see Bandit Chu.

According to past habits, he should have gone back by himself, but for some reason, this time he didn't take a single step, watched the other officials leave, and waited quietly at the gate of the government office.

When only Zhao Liangyue was left in the government office, he simply sat on the stone steps and watched the crabapple tree that was about to set under the moon.

So, when Bandit Chu didn't have much hope, and walked slowly to the household office, what he saw when he looked up was this picture:

His brook scales sat quietly on the stone steps, a stone lamp at the door illuminated a small area where he was, the wind blew the crabapple flowers all over him, he shook his head lightly to shake off the fallen flowers above his head, and raised his hand I twisted a petal over my shoulder, put it in front of my nose and sniffed it. I didn't seem to like it very much. I frowned slightly, and then sat and waited quietly. The whole person seemed to be melted into a ball of moonlight, gentle and quiet, Make people reluctant to bother.

Chu Bandit stopped and watched for a long time, but time seemed to pass quickly, because before he had time to completely engrave this picture in his mind, Zhao Liangyue turned his head and found him, then got up and stretched, and walked towards him.

At this moment, it is reflected on a certain line of the sundial, and the time flows again.

"The emperor talked to you for so long today? It's rare." Zhao Liangyue couldn't help but yawned, and when he saw the traces of sadness on Chu Bandit's face, he said with relief, "About Feixialou and Lu It is expected that Ming's case was forcibly suppressed by Dali Temple and Yushitai, but at least it was found..."

Before Zhao Liangyue finished speaking, he was pulled by Bandit Chu and hugged him directly, and the familiar faint fragrance of ink instantly surrounded him.

Bandit Chu remained silent, as if he was very tired, he put his chin on Zhao Liangyue's head, and closed his eyes.

Zhao Liangyue was stunned for no reason, and Ren Chugui hugged him tightly. When he came to his senses, he was about to break free, and he caught the slight trembling in Chugu's breathing.

Zhao Liangyue hesitated for a while, and put down his hands that were about to push Chu Bandit away.

"Xi Lin, are you there?"

Zhao Liangyue was puzzled by Chu Bian's sudden question, but he still replied, "I'm here."

So Bandit Chu laughed and said, "It's good that you're here."

Zhao Liangyue: "..." If you don't hold me so tight that it makes people a little breathless, I will be even better.

Bandit Chu looked down at Zhao Liangyue's drooping eyebrows and eyes, his thin lips slightly pursed, and his indifferent and mesmerizing expression, and he felt that everything looked good.

Chu Bandit's lips moved a few times, hesitating for a while, then turned into forbearance, and finally kissed Zhao Liangyue's icy hair crown.

Zhao Liangyue was about to push Chu Bandit away because he was not feeling well out of breath, but Chu Bandit let him go first.

Zhao Liangyue took several breaths and asked slowly, "Lord Chu, has something happened?"

Chu Bie smiled: "The sky collapsed, but it was mended just now."

Zhao Liangyue was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "Then this Nuwa is very powerful, making up so quickly."

"Yes, it is."

"Wait." Zhao Liangyue felt something was wrong, frowned and looked at Bandit Chu, and said, "What happened?"

Bandit Chu turned serious and said, "There is indeed a big event, let's talk about it as we walk."

Zhao Liangyue nodded, and was tricked out of the city by Bandit Chu, and arrived near the moat in the western outskirts of the city, where there was a forest of crabapple flowers to the north.

Zhao Liangyue watched the passerby only handing the gold waist card all the way, without saying a word, and often looked back at Bandit Chu who was still there, his doubts grew, and he really couldn't think of anything that required him to leave the city in such a hurry.

Until Bandit Chu took Zhao Liangyue to the Begonia Forest, dug out a jar of wine under a certain crabapple tree next to the stone pavilion, and smiled at him, Zhao Liangyue finally realized that he had been deceived.

"Xilin, don't go, they're here!" Bandit Chu grabbed Zhao Liangyue who was about to go back, and smiled apologetically, "Xilin, things are progressing as scheduled, let's have a drink with me to celebrate."

"I want to go back and rest."

Bandit Chu pulled Zhao Liangyue to sit down in the stone pavilion, and said with a smile, "It's good to rest here, not to mention there are flowers, moon, wine, and..." Bandit Chu looked at Zhao Liangyue, thinking, there are beauties.

Zhao Liangyue knew that he had nothing to do with the scoundrel in front of him, so he could only sit down and watch him clean the dirt with his official robe and unseal the wine.

The mellow aroma of Nurhong permeated the air, but the taste didn't seem right, the wine should be... pretty bad.

Bandit Chu handed it to Zhao Liangyue like offering a treasure, and said, "Xilin, drink first."

"..." Zhao Liangyue took it, and looked at it in Shiting's dim light, and the wine was indeed cloudy.

Zhao Liangyue raised his head and was about to say that he didn't want to drink, but seeing Chu Gui's peach blossom eyes full of anticipation, Zhao Liangyue swallowed the words, sighed lightly, and took a sip.

It's not as bad as imagined, but it's definitely not good.

Zhao Liangyue frowned slightly, guessing in his heart that this wine was probably brewed by Chu Bandit himself, so he didn't know how poorly he brewed it, so he raised his hand and handed it to Chu Bandit, letting him taste it himself.

Bandit Chu took it and drank it several times in a row, just like eating sour oranges, as if he couldn't tell the good from the bad.

Zhao Liangyue was a little speechless, and began to think about how to refuse Chu Bandit's persuasion later, but fortunately, Chu Bandit was very self-aware, so he didn't let himself drink any more, and asked, "This wine isn't very well brewed."

Zhao Liangyue smiled slightly, and said politely: "It's not bad, actually."

"That Xilin, let's drink some more." Bandit Chu handed over the wine again.

"..." I was just being polite, why did you take it seriously.

Zhao Liangyue simply stopped pretending and pushed the wine back to Bandit Chu.

Bandit Chu chuckled suddenly, and said, "But no matter what, Xi Lin, you've already drank this jar of wine."

"What is the meaning of this jar of wine?"

"Naturally." Bandit Chu leaned over, approached Zhao Liangyue's ear mysteriously, and whispered, "But as I said, Xilin can't tell others."

Zhao Liangyue said bluntly: "Then Master Chu should stop talking."

"Come on, Xilin, why don't you follow the routine?" Chu Bandit sighed helplessly, then smiled and confessed honestly, "This is the first time I learned how to brew wine. It is Tan Nuerhong."

Zhao Liangyue: "..." No wonder it's so bad.

"The reason why I buried this wine here is that when I find my sweetheart in the future, I will come here once with him, and then dig it out and drink it together, which is also a good omen."

Zhao Liangyue raised his head and looked at Bandit Chu with a look of "Then why are you drinking with me?"

"Xi Lin, you've drunk it now."

Zhao Liangyue said helplessly: "Lord Chu, if I knew the cause and effect, I would definitely not dare to drink the wine of this future Mrs. Chu."

Chu Bandit was stunned for a moment, he thought the meaning was quite obvious, but it seemed...

Zhao Liangyue saw that Chu Bandit was suddenly silent, thought about it for a while, and asked, "Is this man dead and not in this world..."

Before Zhao Liangyue finished speaking, Bandit Chu immediately covered his mouth, and hastily corrected him: "He is living a good life, and he will surely live a long life."

Zhao Liangyue hurriedly nodded, apologetically.

Chu Bandit looked at Zhao Liangyue who seemed to stay out of the matter from the beginning to the end, let out a long sigh, and let go of Zhao Liangyue.

Zhao Liangyue hurriedly bowed his hands and apologized: "I was the one who was rude and unreasonable. When you marry your wife, I will definitely prepare a generous gift."

Bandit Chu felt even worse, and hurriedly waved his hands to tell Zhao Liangyue to stop talking.

Zhao Liangyue then shut up, seeing that Chu Bandit was in great distress, thinking that he had touched Chu Bandit's rebellion, he felt rare guilt.

After being relatively silent for a while, Bandit Chu opened his mouth first: "There is news about Eunuch Cao from the south this morning, and he is now in Xiangyuan City."

Zhao Liangyue frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said: "We can get news, it is estimated that the Wang and Han families are faster, and Eunuch Cao is probably in a very difficult situation."

Bandit Chu nodded, and said: "But it also shows that Xiangyuan City must have extremely important evidence left by the case back then."

"So, we have to go to Xiangyuan City to find out the truth."

"But it's very difficult. I went there twice before looking for opportunities, but they all returned without success." Chu bandit said, "But this time is different. Eunuch Cao will definitely leave some important clues. This opportunity is too rare."

Zhao Liangyue thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Do you want to attack through Ningzhou?"

"En." Bandit Chu raised his head and wanted to say something else, and suddenly the night wind blew up again, and the redness was like rain, and Zhao Liangyue was sitting in the middle, the scene in front of the government office of the household department gradually overlapped with everything in front of him.

Chu Bandit forgot what to say for a moment.

"Master Chu?" Zhao Liangyue saw that Chu Biao looked at him silently, and there was something he couldn't understand in Taohua's eyes, and instinctively resisted, so he raised his hand and waved in front of Chu Biao.

Bandit Chu came back to his senses, stood up and turned his back to Zhao Liangyue, and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the city."

Along the way, Bandit Chu never looked back at Zhao Liangyue.

Chu Biao didn't dare to turn his head back. In his eyes, he saw his instinctive aversion to this kind of emotion, and he only showed a corner of his sincerity—perhaps, some fates are only suitable to stay at a certain point. It is going in the opposite direction, and it is beyond redemption.
