Long Xingtu lowered his eyelids, unable to suppress the fluctuations in his heart."
Now you know, why did the emperor behead Xia Zhihuai's entire family in anger, right?
This case is too big, Xia Zhihuai shouted injustice, but he couldn't show evidence to show his innocence, the people of the whole country rioted, the civil and military officials forced each other, and the emperor had no choice but to kill Xia Zhihuai to calm the people's hearts. ”"Lord Du."
Long Xingtu endured the sourness on the tip of his nose and said in a dumb voice: "Can I dare to ask you something?"
If you are willing to answer me, please tell me the truth, and don't deceive me a word!
”Du Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes." ”Long Xingtu looked at him fixedly, and his words were extremely clear, "When Xia Zhihuai was killed, did An Guohou fall into the well?"
”Hearing this, Du Mingcheng's eyes were full of shock, "Star map you......
Why are you asking this question?
”"You just have to answer me yes or no."
Long Xingtu's serious expression didn't look like a joke at all.Du Mingcheng's throat rolled, but he was silent for a while before he said: "Xingtu, I don't really know what happened back then, and what I just told you was all told by my father before his death."
Although the father and Lord Xia are not teachers and students, they are close friends who cherish each other, and the Marquis of Anguo and Lord Xia are the sons and daughters.Therefore, at this juncture, the Marquis of An Guo can't say anything for Lord Xia. ”"Then you watched the Xia family being beheaded?"
Long Xingtu's ten fingers clenched tightly, and his nails dug into his palms.Du Mingcheng stretched out his big palm, wanting to pat Long Xingtu's shoulder like before, but he remembered something halfway, and froze there, he whispered: "Xingtu, I know that you are actually a girl, but I don't know what your identity is."
I could not have answered you today when you asked me such a secret thing, but I believed you.Therefore, please also believe that the Marquis of Anguo was helpless to stay out of the matter back then, rather than losing the lives of the two families, it is better to leave one family in order to overturn the case. ”"Yes, I believe it."
Long Xingtu took a deep breath and wondered: "I don't ask adults how they know that I am a woman, I just want to ask, aren't adults curious about who I am?"
”Du Mingcheng suddenly laughed, "Not only am I curious, but the second master is also curious, but we all know your character and temper, if you don't want to talk about it, how can we force it?"
”"Second master, he ......"
I haven't seen him for a long time, and I haven't heard the news of that person, Long Xingtu has a lot of speculation in his heart, and finally can't help asking, "Is he back in the capital?"
”Du Mingcheng's eyes were full of deep meaning, "What, are you thinking about the second master?"
”Long Xingtu's face was hot, so he simply turned his head and left."
Hey, you......
Forget it, let me tell you, the second master did not return to Beijing. ”"Huh?"
Long Xingtu turned around, only to hear Du Mingcheng say: "The second master is going to do a very important thing.Since you are healed, you are ready to prepare, and tonight, you will go to the Li Family Temple outside the East City to pick up someone for me!
Remember, his surname is Zhou, you must keep him safe and bring him back to the yamen quietly!
”"Men?
How old is it?
”"It's a man, in his early twenties, this person's identity is extraordinary, you must control your temper, be courteous, and don't offend the other party."
Du Mingcheng was nervous that he had never been, which made the Dragon Star Atlas suspicious, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the Star Atlas will not fail in its mission!"
