Zhu Dacong saw that she liked it and suggested that she could try it on for free.

Tan Lingyin shook her head.

Zhu Dacong smiled and said, "You seem to be afraid of me?"

"I don't buy it."

"Why are you afraid of me?"

"I……"

He looked at her stubbornly, with a serious expression, as if asking for a confession. Tan Lingyin opened her mouth and took a step back. To be honest, she wasn't very scared just now, but now she's really scared.

Zhu Dacong suddenly loosened his body and said sadly, "Forget it, I know it even if you don't tell me."

Tan Lingyin was curious, "What do you know?"

Zhu Dacong shook his head and sighed, "There are a lot of people in my hometown who are afraid of me. Just because my father has some power, my appearance is a bit... fierce."

Tan Lingyin thought, it's not just the fierce faces...

Zhu Dacong seemed to have heard her voice and continued, "Actually, I killed people."

"..." Tan Lingyin didn't expect him to be so frank.

"But until now, I still think that person deserves to die. Since then, my reputation has gotten worse, and others have said that I am lonely. With my two fiancee dying one after another, I..." he said Here, the brows were even more frowned, as if the word "Chuan" was scratched on the forehead with a knife.

"Not... three? Fiancee?"

Zhu Dacong nodded and said, "The third one learned that the object of marriage was me, and I died before getting married. Since then, I have lived up to the name of 'Ke wife'. In fact, I don't believe in numerology, but the third one It is true that the girl died because of me, and I have always felt guilty and regretful for it. Since then, my heart has been disheartened, and my desire to marry has faded."

Tan Lingyin felt like a huge rock was pressed against her heart, and she felt extremely annoyed. She tried to console him, "You don't have to feel guilty, the marriage contract between the two families is the order of your parents, and you are not wrong. Besides, she didn't necessarily die because of the marriage."

"You don't understand," Zhu Dacong shook his head, feeling lonely, "If there is an innocent good person in this world who died because of you, this thought will accompany you all your life, and you will never get rid of your guilt."

Tan Lingyin was anxious, "what if she didn't die?"

Zhu Dacong twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, "If she's not dead, what am I doing?"

Tan Lingyin was speechless. Yes, the name of his wife was given to him by her. He felt guilty and regretful for three years and she gave it to him. In the end, you told him that she was not dead and was teasing him.

This is more difficult to accept than death.

Zhu Dacong let out a long sigh and smiled embarrassedly, "I have a relationship with Master Tan, and today I suddenly talked about the old things of Chen Zhi and rotten millet. I hope Master Tan will not think about it too much."

"No no no."

Tan Lingyin returned to the county government in despair.

☆、Chapter 35

The autumn weather was cool and gān 慡, Tan Lingyin felt like she had fallen into the hot stove of summer, and it was terribly stuffy.

She is the third fiancee who died in Zhu Dacong's mouth.

Ke's wife said that if she was a bystander, Tan Lingyin would not believe it; but when this matter came to her own head, she would inevitably murmur. Do not believe, do not dare not believe.

What's more, that Zhu Dacong's reputation is not good.

As for why her father promised her to such a person, this is another bad debt.

Tan Lingyin herself was a bit deviant. She was dissatisfied with this arrangement, and had the cheek to quarrel with his father. Neither father and daughter could persuade the other. Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Tan Lingyin didn't want to sit still, and ran away.

Her father couldn't find her, so he got angry. The Zhu family has a great career, and Zhu Dacong's father is still the prefect. Who would dare to offend such a family? Master Tan didn't dare to tell the truth that his daughter was running away from marriage, so he had to say that she died of illness. In order to act realistically, he also buried his "daughter" and did rituals for several days.

As for how he died, he doesn't say, others can guess. There are two main theories, one is that a good girl was killed by Zhu Dacong, and the other is that she knew that she was going to marry Zhu Dacong and was annoying.

Zhu Dacong automatically accepted the latter statement.

Rumors spread like this. Since then, Zhu Dacong's "wife" hat has been completely buttoned on and cannot be taken off. The Zhu family has always been apologetic to the Tan family and takes great care of them. Master Tan even dared not tell the truth.

After Tan Qingchen helped his father with the affairs at home, he came to look for his sister. By the way, will bring a word to Master Tan: don't come back when you leave.

Tan Lingyin didn't dare to go back. She guessed that her father was almost out of breath, so she wrote him a letter. One after another, those letters fell into disrepair. Tan Lingyin understood what her father meant, so she became disheartened and stopped communicating with her family.

Qingchen has been with her all the time. The two traveled east and west. When they arrived in Tongling County, the money was almost spent, so they settled here and made some business to make money.

Just like that, three years passed.

Frankly speaking, Tan Lingyin is not a good person, but she is not bad either. She does not lack the conscience that a normal person should have. She originally regarded Zhu Dacong as a shovel, but the reality told her that he was a good person, with integrity and kindness.

When she learned that Zhu Dacong had been guilty for so many years because of her, and that she was also carrying the reputation of "ke wife" because of her, she felt very uncomfortable.

He always felt that she had failed him.

Tan Lingyin returned to the county office in such a gloomy mood. She had something in her heart, so she bowed her head and walked away without looking at the road. As I walked, I bumped into something.

When Tang Tianyuan saw Tan Lingyin, he was brewing some words to mock her, but he didn't expect that she would get closer and closer, and he would plunge into his arms like a blind man.

Tang Tianyuan: "..." He even helped her.

The bridge of Tan Lingyin's nose is relatively high, and the bump made the tip of her nose hurt. She rubbed her nose, looked up and saw the county magistrate's beautiful face, and was shocked.

Tang Tianyuan let go of the hand on her shoulder. When he saw that she was so restless, he frowned and asked, "The man has returned, where is the soul left?"

Tan Lingyin's emotions were still immersed in the guilt and annoyance just now, she asked subconsciously, "Where?"

Tang Tianyuan did not answer. His eyes moved down, staring at the thing she was carrying, "Bring it."

In Tan Lingyin's hand is the huáng company. The county magistrate not only held back people, but he didn't even spare dogs, ah no, even lions. This chain is used to deal with Tangtang. The reason why Tan Lingyin is sent to buy it is, in Tang Tianyuan's original words, "Whoever makes it your son, whoever makes it your son, whoever you don't work for will work hard."

So Tan Lingyin worked hard. She handed him the newly bought huáng. He took it and ordered people to go down and boil water continuously, and then asked the kitchen to kill a fire and keep a bowl of fresh blood.

Tangtang smelled the kitchen handyman's body and thought it might be delicious. It is very happy, of course, the happiest thing is that its mother didn't want it. Tangtang lowered her head and rubbed against Tan Lingyin's ankle, motioning for Tan Lingyin to touch her head.

Tan Lingyin was a little absent-minded. Seeing her like this, Tang Tianyuan stopped talking a few times, and finally he didn't say anything.

The handyman quickly brought up the blood. The blood in the thick porcelain bowl was still warm and had not yet solidified. There was a lot of blood foam floating on the top, and a few bloodstains dripped from the edge of the white bowl, which looked strange and oozing.

Tangtang smelled blood, and immediately became excited.

Tang Tianyuan took the blood bowl and said to Tan Lingyin, "The blood should be drunk while it's hot, it will clump when it's cold, and it's not tasty."

When the handyman heard this, he ran away in fear.

Tangtang raised her head and licked her tongue greedily.

Tang Tianyuan squatted down and put the bowl on the ground, "Tangtang, come and eat."

Tangtang jumped over almost in one step, buried her face in the bowl, and licked it. After only two bites, it stopped, let out a painful howl, then turned and ran away with drooping ears, ran to Tan Lingyin's feet, looked up at her, tears welling up. Probably because she was afraid she didn't understand, he glanced at Tan Lingyin, then at the blood bowl, then at her, and at the bowl again.

Without Tangtang making it so explicit, Tan Lingyin can understand how painful it is. That bowl of jī blood was mixed with water, so the taste must be very wonderful.

Training starts with dolls. The county magistrate thinks that if you want Tangtang not to hurt people when she grows up, he should let him know from a young age that raw blood and raw ròu are not delicious, that's why he came up with such a bad idea.

Tan Lingyin looked at Tangtang's aggrieved eyes, and she felt a little distressed about it. But she felt distressed, she didn't want Tangtang to cause life when she grew up. She pointed to the blood that was gradually solidifying in the bowl, "Tangtang, eat it up."

Tangtang ran away in despair. It squatted in the corner and turned its butt towards them.

Tang Tianyuan said to Tan Lingyin, "You can accompany me to Tianmu Mountain in a few days."

Since the last time they found Qi Hui's body, they went to Tianmu Mountain twice, but they still found nothing. Tianmu Mountain is already very large, so it is normal to find it. He can't go there frequently, and he can't look for it with much fanfare. First, flash floods are prone to occur in the mountains in summer; second, he is about to break into the enemy's interior, and he must not reveal his identity at this time.

It should be said that since Tang Tianyuan discovered that there was suspicious gold in the Qi member's family, he was basically certain that there had been a case of stealing gold in this place. What he didn't understand was how the emperor knew, and the emperor knew why he didn't finish his words.

Well, anyway, if the emperor didn't take the initiative to tell him, he wouldn't ask.

The author has something to say: the condensed is the spirit →_→

☆、Chapter 36

Tianmu Mountain in August is like a fairyland woven by colorful clouds. The bushes on the mountain are either green or green, or the leaves are full of broken leaves, or the whole body is prosperous. There are many flowering trees on the mountainside, with clusters of lavender flowers. Green, huáng, red, and purple are all mixed together, making people dizzying. Another waterfall hangs on the high cliff, like a silver-white soft sword piercing straight into the lake, flying straight down, splashing the water mist, reflecting the rainbow lights.

Walking in such a picturesque place, Tan Lingyin felt only one word: tired!

The county magistrate really came to Tianmu Mountain again, and slipped her up again.

He is a person who will never give up until he achieves his goals. Every time he comes to Tianmu Mountain, he has to choose a different route. According to the common sense from easy to difficult, their route is naturally more and more difficult to walk. Now, they can't count the road at all, it can only be said that some people have walked here, leaving some traces.

Tang Tianyuan deduced from this kind of road that does not count as a road, this may be the transportation channel for gold thieves. The reason is that the formation of this path should not be too long ago, but Tianmu Mountain was closed for several years, and few herbalists and hunters went up the mountain, so they could not step on such a path.

"Your lord is really wise, can we go back?" Tan Lingyin was so tired now that her feet were like lead, she didn't care about the facts or the truth, she really wanted to curl up and roll down from here.

Tang Tianyuan shook his head, "I finally found it, how can I give up so easily?" He patted a small hairball lying on his shoulder, "Tangtang, do you think so?"

Tang Tang raised his head and rubbed his face. Seeing that both of them were leaving today, it insisted on following. Tan Lingyin took it with him. As a lion, Tangtang has no talent for mountain climbing. It is small and rolled down the mountain road several times before being picked up by Tang Tianyuan.

Later, Tang Tianyuan put Tangtang on his shoulder.

Tan Lingyin had to admit that she was a little jealous of Tangtang.

After a short break, Tang Tianyuan got up and was about to leave again. Tan Lingyin began to be rude and sat on the ground without moving, "Sir, you go first, I'll wait for you here."

Tang Tianyuan shook his head, "This mountain hasn't been visited by hunters for several years. How many jackals, tigers and leopards, poisonous tongues and poisonous insects are there, which one can you handle?"
