    Chapter 194 I am also a delicate flower

    After the eunuch was castrated, he had no chance of love between a man and a woman in his life, but every time he fell into the arms of Gongsun Zhuoyu, Du Lingchun felt an indescribable feeling of palpitations.He held down Gongsun Zhuoyu's hand that was touching his neck, pretended to be angry, and scolded in a low voice: "What are you doing!"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu retracted his hand, placed it on his waist again, buried his face on his shoulder, nuzzled him twice like a cat, and said in a low and soft voice: "Company..."

    Du Lingchun's heart was beating wildly, wondering why Gongsun Zhuoyu, a dignified man, always behaved like a little girl.He tilted his head unconsciously and said in a stiff voice, "What's the matter?"

    There was a hint of doting in his tone that he was not even aware of, as if whatever the other person wanted, he could willingly give it to him with both hands.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu blinked: "I'm going to Luohua Hutong soon..."

    "Bastard!" Du Lingchun's expression immediately changed, and this time he was really angry, "What kind of place is that kind of fireworks place? You just go there once, but you want to go a second time?!"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu wondered if Du Lingchun was jealous, so he tilted his head and looked at him: "I'm just investigating the case."

    Du Lingchun stared at him and gritted his teeth: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, do you still remember how many times you entered a brothel under the guise of investigating crimes?"

    Once in Jiangzhou, once in Beijing, and now it is the third time.

    Du Shigong didn't like to be a cuckold, so watching Gongsun Zhuoyu running to the land of fireworks every day was too much for him.Even if the other party doesn't do anything, he will inevitably not be tempted when he sees those beautiful women.

    Du Lingchun couldn't help but become more and more anxious when he thought about his physical disability.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu teased him: "If my husband kisses me, I will catch the accomplice and come back in half a stick of incense. Even if there is a thief, it will not work."

    Du Lingchun felt ashamed and annoyed: "You——!"

    He instinctively raised his eyes, but he was caught off guard and met Gongsun Zhuoyu's gaze, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.The closer the two of them were, the tips of their noses were touching, and their breaths were so intertwined that it was hard to tell them apart.

    "..."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu has a pair of loving eyes, and the four words "romantic and suave" lack a bit of charm when compared to him.With a straight body and a straight face, countless women are looking for him in a place like Shangjing City.The case will be solved and success is just around the corner.

    Du Lingchun was always afraid that he had nothing to give him, not even the most basic pleasure.He was silent for a moment.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu is a proud, complacent and shameless person, and he has never felt inferior.He just stared at Du Lingchun's overly feminine eyebrows, fascinated, slowly leaned over to kiss him, and whispered: "Company..."

    Du Lingchun closed his eyes, somewhat resigned to his fate.He was a little nervous, and slowly tightened his fingertips on Gongsun Zhuoyu's shoulders without struggling. He felt the other person's warm lips falling on his eyebrows, the tip of his nose, the side of his face, and finally his lips. He finally pursed his lips and responded harshly.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu noticed his movements, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and became even more sticky.The two of them were upside down and unconsciously fell onto the Grand Master's chair. Du Lingchun was so dizzy and deprived of oxygen from his kiss that he no longer knew what day it was.

    The crimson sleeves of the robe slipped down like water, revealing half of her white wrists.Du Lingchun got over that period of raw emotion and unconsciously began to hug Gongsun Zhuoyu tightly. His long dark hair fell on his shoulders, as thick as crow feathers.Only the lips became darker, a bright red.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu touched Du Lingchun's nose and rubbed it twice intimately.Du Lingchun held him down and said what was meant to be a scolding, but when he reached his mouth, his tone softened unconsciously: "How can you behave in broad daylight?"

    The outer window is still half-slit, giving a glimpse of the mountains, rivers and lotus ponds.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu lay motionless in his arms, clinging to him.

    Du Lingchun had no choice but to push him and finally made a compromise: "Go back quickly."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his head and asked tentatively: "Then shall I go?"

    Du Lingchun's face was stupefied, but when he looked into Gongsun Zhuoyu's shining eyes, his heart was so soft that he couldn't hear the emotion and said, "Go ahead if you want. What are you waiting for?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was waiting for his words. After hearing this, he secretly kissed him on the face. Then he happily ran out of the study and disappeared in a moment.

    Du Lingchun was a little startled, then he slowly sat up straight after reacting.He raised his hand and touched his face. There were still traces of that warm touch that made people dizzy.

    Du Lingchun leaned back in his chair, put his hand on his brow bone, and lowered his eyebrows. He still couldn't figure out why he was fascinated by this little bastard Gongsun Zhuoyu.His fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the table, making a dull sound.

    Wu Yue immediately appeared outside the window: "What are your orders from the company?"

    Du Lingchun didn't even raise his eyes: "Gongsun Zhuoyu has gone to the land of fireworks. Find a few people to follow him and protect him secretly. Don't allow him to act recklessly."

    In just one sentence, Wu Yue thought about a lot of things, his expression became subtle for a moment, thinking about what nonsense he was doing, hesitantly replied: "Yes, I will order someone to do it right now."

    The girls in Luohua Hutong only come out to do business at night, so it is very quiet during the day.Gongsun Zhuoyu led the people to the entrance of the alley where they were last time, and was about to knock on the door when Shi Qianqiu jumped down from the tree and landed silently in front of him.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu's face showed surprise: "Ah! Master!"

    Rebel.

    Shi Qianqiu swallowed back the two words that came to his lips: "Sir, I waited here all night and found no movement."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, Master. The murderer was captured last night. Please wait while I finish questioning the woman and let's go back together."

    Shi Qianqiu: "..."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu and Du Lingchun agreed to rush back in just one stick of incense, so naturally there would be no further delay.He walked to the courtyard door where the blood stain disappeared last time, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and footsteps were heard immediately inside: "Here he comes!"

    A beautiful-looking woman opened the door. The smile on her face suddenly froze on her lips when she saw Gongsun Zhuoyu and his party. Then she slowly returned to calm, and her face turned pale and frightening.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced inside: "Girl, we are from the government, is it inconvenient for us to ask you something?"

    The woman didn't answer. She took a few steps back stiffly, then turned around and walked to the well silently. She continued to wash the clothes in the basin with her head lowered and said nothing.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu asked them to wait outside and walked in. Two guards in black tried to follow him, but were blocked by Shi Qianqiu's horizontal sword.

    Shi Qianqiu frowned: "What are you going to do?"

    The guards in black looked at each other and said hesitantly: "We are afraid that Mr. Gongsun will do something wrong."

    Shi Qianqiu: "What nonsense are you doing?"

    The guard in black stammered: "Whoring...whoring..."

    Shi Qianqiu narrowed his eyes: "What did he do to you with prostitutes?"

    All the guards were silent and pretended to be dumb.

    Shi Qianqiu thought it was a violation of the government's rules, so he simply put his sword back, folded his arms, and the old god said: "He doesn't have the guts."

    The old lady at home had given repeated orders not to let Gongsun Zhuoyu hang out with the fireworks girl, so naturally he didn't dare to do anything wrong.Shi Qianqiu followed Gongsun Zhuoyu for three or four years, going in and out of brothels with him dozens of times, listening to music and drinking, and then leaving after dinner.

    The guards had to observe the situation outside.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu walked into the courtyard and saw a small low table in the middle. There were several home-cooked dishes on it. It was quite rich and there were two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.He grabbed a wooden stool, sat next to it and asked, "Is the girl waiting for someone?"

    The woman was silent and beat her clothes with a wooden stick. She was dressed in plain clothes and looked like a beauty.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the cold dishes and sighed: "It seems that the person the girl was waiting for has not come back."

    When the woman heard this, her movements paused, and then returned to normal.She lowered her head and scrubbed the clothes vigorously. The force was so great that two strands of her hair fell down, and the veins in her slender hands stretched.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu thought to himself: "He was seriously injured. His shoulder was pierced, and his knee was shot with an arrow. He probably won't live long."

    A breeze blew by, bringing with it a light floral fragrance, but it was as sweet as blood.

    The woman finally paused. She seemed motionless as if someone had tapped her acupoints, her head lowered and her expression unclear.After a moment, a tear slipped from his eye and disappeared silently into the basin.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't want to make the girl cry, so he changed his position and asked, "What's the girl's name?"

    The woman clenched the wet clothes in her hands, washed them numbly, and coldly uttered three words: "Mo Jingxian."

    He actually told the truth directly.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his eyebrows: "But the records say that not long after you were charged into the Jiaofang Division, you slipped and fell into the water and died."

    At that time, the entire Mo family was demoted as slaves, all the adult men were beheaded, and all the women were sent to the Jiaofang Division to become official prostitutes, and could not leave the country for life.

    Mo Jingxian is delicate and beautiful, and looks nothing like a descendant of a general: "I know how to swim, so why not fake my own death?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded: "The Jiaofang Division is closely guarded. If you can successfully escape, someone must help you. Is it Ye Wuhen or Luo Jianming?"

    He knew much more information than Mo Jingxian imagined.

    The woman finally raised her head, and Gongsun Zhuoyu saw that her eyes were red, as if stained with blood: "Uncle Luo is my father's old subordinate. He tried to help me escape and found this place for me to stay."

    Although Luohua Hutong is a mixed bag of people, it is located in a hidden location. The surrounding neighbors do not know each other, and they all live in their houses.If you don't go out of the main door and don't step on the second door, it's still safe.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu clasped his hands together and moved his thumbs around: "Where is Ye Wuhen?"

    Mo Jingxian was like a soulless person. She answered whatever Gongsun Zhuoyu asked. She lowered her head and smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes. Her voice could not detect any emotion: "When I was in the Jiaofang Department, I once savedI took his life, but he shamelessly insisted on pestering me to repay my favor. I ordered him to kill four people for me, and he went."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu made a sound, put his hands into his sleeves, and seemed to sigh: "If you tell me everything, aren't you afraid that I will put you in jail?"

    Mo Jingxian finally let go of the clothes in her hands: "You have captured the person and found it here. You will know sooner or later if I don't tell you. It's just that Uncle Luo has nothing to do with this matter. Please don't involve him."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was confused: "Why don't you intercede for Ye Wuhen?"

    Mo Jingxian looked at him: "Is it useful?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled apologetically: "It's useless."

    There is a qualitative difference between Ye Wuhen's crime and Luo Jianming's.

    Mo Jingxian wrung out her clothes and hung them to dry on the rope in the courtyard. Gongsun Zhuoyu did not rush and waited quietly.He saw two pieces of clothing on the rope, one for men and one for women, next to each other, clean and smooth.

    The food on the table was already cold.

    Noila Mo pursed her lips, raised her eyes and looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu, calmly and calmly: "Aren't you going to arrest me? Let's go."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu did not shackle her, but ordered her hands to be tied up with hemp rope.Crossing his arms, he couldn't help but feel pity: "The girl is only in her early twenties, right?"

    Mo Jingxian said: "Eighteen."

    Only eighteen.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded and said nothing more.He has always liked to be a confused official, because sometimes the truth may not always be what everyone wants.He walked in front, and Mo Jingxian was escorted behind.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu suddenly asked: "Young lady, don't you regret it?"

    Mo Jingxian said nothing.

    The small courtyard was left far behind. There were thirty-two memorial tablets in the inner hall. A handful of half-burned incense was inserted in the incense burner. The fireworks were swirling, making everything around it unreal.

    Mo Yanwu led his troops to fight in the front, but the food and grass from the rear were delayed. In the heavy snow and cold weather, 50,000 soldiers struggled for half a month. They were exhausted and most of them were killed by the enemy.Later I found out that it was just someone who was greedy for military expenses and deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from the inferiors.However, all the blame was placed on Mo Yanwu alone.

    Mo Jingxian didn't answer, so Gongsun Zhuoyu knew that she had no regrets, but he had nothing to say.

    This dynasty was different from later generations. There were no police officers to uphold justice, but only officials to protect each other. Corruption was rife and human lives were as cheap as grass.If ordinary people want to redress their grievances, they can't even find an upright official who can uphold justice.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu couldn't help but think of his colleagues in Jiangzhou.When the prefect hosted a banquet in honor of Du Lingchun, everyone came. Only Bai Songhe, the magistrate of Ning County, did not arrive. Du Lingchun was finally offended. He should be at home now.

    Bai Songhe's example is the situation of most upright officials in this dynasty. If they are unwilling to join in the evil, they are not tolerated by the world.Bao Zheng has only had one like this in hundreds of years.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu is a very mediocre person. He can't live a hard life, and he can't fight against so many people. As the saying goes, if you can't beat him, just join.Maybe there will be a little pain in my conscience, but at least my life is saved.

    The group returned to the company's mansion, but Gongsun Zhuoyu did not go into the palace immediately to report. Instead, he asked someone to find a place to detain Mo Jingxian while he sat on the railing of the verandah and thought about the case.

    Of course, you may not be thinking about the case, but thinking about life.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu always felt that handing Ye Wuhen and Mo Jingxian to two people was a bit unsatisfactory in his conscience.It's strange that he hasn't felt this way before.

    Something that had not been seen for a long time appeared in the system again. It landed on Gongsun Zhuoyu's left shoulder and patted the back of his head with its wings: "This is the drawback of the dynasty."

    It was too profound and Gongsun Zhuoyu couldn’t understand: “What do you mean?”

    The system flapped its wings: "No matter where you are, there are always more people who do bad things and fewer people who do good things. But this dynasty lacks an official who can stir up trouble."

    If there were officials like Bao Zheng who were not afraid of power in this dynasty, maybe Mo Jingxian would have chosen to report her grievances to the officials instead of going down this path.But it is a pity that it did not happen. The civil servants headed by Yan Fu were already old and could not defeat Du Lingchun's party.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu hated 009's chicken soup for the soul the most, so he slapped him away: "If you want to be an upright official, you should do it yourself, I am not the one to do it."

    After saying that, he jumped down from the railing and went to the study to find Du Lingchun.

    People who are passionately in love are probably like this, they want to be together every day.

    Du Lingchun naturally wanted to meet Gongsun Zhuoyu, but if he did, the other party would inevitably get close to him, which would put him in a dilemma.

    Recently, there has been a locust plague in the south, which has damaged people's food and caused a large number of victims.According to the usual practice, the emperor must send people to carry out disaster relief, and there is a lot of money in it. People from Yan Fu's party and people from Du Lingchun's party are vying for this position.

    Song Xitang was analyzing the situation when he suddenly saw Du Lingchun looking distracted and couldn't help but stop talking: "Company?"

    Du Lingchun raised his eyes: "What's the matter?"

    Song Xitang stroked his beard and said, "I see that my boss is frowning. He seems to have something on his mind. Why don't you tell me so that I can share your worries."

    Share worries?

    Du Lingchun sneered in his heart, thinking that you can't worry about this kind of thing.He glanced at the sky and estimated that Gongsun Zhuoyu would be back soon. He said to Song Xitang: "I know what you said, sir, and I will think about it carefully."

    Song Xitang excused himself: "Then I'll go back to my room first."

    As soon as he left with his front legs, Gongsun Zhuoyu came over with his back legs.

    "Company!"

    As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Du Lingchun knew it was that little bastard Gongsun Zhuoyu again, and felt a rare helplessness in his heart.He stood up from his position and as soon as he walked out of the study, his waist tightened and someone hugged him.

    Du Lingchun raised his eyes and saw that the doors were closed, so he did not stop him and looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Has he been caught?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded: "Caught."

    Du Lingchun asked again: "Did you find out the cause and effect?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu paused before nodding: "The trial is over."

    Du Lingchun didn't say anything. He looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu's features, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through his mind: "Then why is there such a bitter look on your face?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu unconsciously touched his face: "Is there any?"

    He is obviously still as cool and chic as ever.

    Du Lingchun saw him shaking his head, turned around, walked behind the desk and sat down, and asked casually: "Tell me, what happened again."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu insisted on going over to squeeze in with him: "Sir, would it be difficult to save the murderer's life in front of His Majesty?"

    Du Lingchun glanced at him and said in an unkind tone: "It's as difficult as climbing to the sky."

    After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, which girl do you have feelings for?"

    Apparently, the escort who went with him had already reported the matter to him.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu thought about Du Lingchun's sour tone, and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "That little lady already has a lover, so naturally it's not my turn to cherish it. Let's just cherish our own flowers, sir."Say so?"

    I think Gongsun Zhuoyu is also a delicate flower with unparalleled splendor.
