This pot of peonies is not mine

Chapter 4

1,

Where do I start?

This road of no return.

2,

At that time, there were still four or five months before the annual examination of the Imperial Academy.

After the emperor ordered the establishment of salt officials and wine officials in various places, most of the Ming family's property was occupied for no reason.It is difficult to make ends meet, precarious, and even the surface is difficult to maintain.

The Zeng family was also busy protecting themselves, and even agreed to the marriage between Brother Liushen and the prefect's daughter, which could not save the Ming family at all.

I'm just an imperial servant, and I can't help you with anything.

Accidentally learned from Jiang Zhiyu that the delivery of Qizhou military pay will pass through Wucheng. Part of the military pay is gold and silver, and the other part is dry grain and rice.In desperation, I hired bandits to rob the military pay and hid them in the warehouse of the Ming family.

After I took office, I was anxious and unsightly, and kept trying to seek personal gain for the Ming family.

Ministers are doing this kind of thing, but they are cautious and vigilant, and they often build plank roads to cross Chencang secretly, and often after they have gained a firm foothold.

But I have to be stupid and greedy, because the Ming family should not be able to survive at this time, I want to let others know and believe that the money of the Ming family comes from me, instead of being robbed with the Qizhou military salary Get involved.

There is a price to be paid for such madness. Shen Qian's father, Old Shangshu Shen, came to me.

I said before that the reason I ran to Shen's mansion when I had nothing to do was to steal that pot of peony flowers.

Some people actually believed it.

Ah.

What Chen Lan said was that my suspicion was minor, and what Chen Lan said was that Mr. Shen is always healthy and strong, and there are many male favorites around him.I could tell he was mocking me.

So I'm going to drag him into the water.

3,

I pretended to steal peony flowers, but in fact I lost my badge the night I assassinated Shen De.

Heiteng picked it up blindly, and when he went back, he found that the waist card was stained with blood, so the words on the waist card were probably left at the scene.

The blood on Chen Lan's waist card was wiped by me.

But Chen Lan was an innocent person after all, so once he was cleared of his suspicions, the Ministry of Criminal Justice would definitely focus on the people in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Why is Jiang Zhiyu so stupid?

Why did he cut his hand for Shen Qian to see?

I want him to be a hero every time?

How stupid.

Stupid!

4,

When Chen Lan came to provoke me, I took the opportunity to steal his personal dagger.

On the day of Lixia, it was no coincidence that Ming Su and Brother Liushen had an unrestrained love at home.

If I want to save Jiang Zhiyu, I must prove that he is [-]% innocent.At that time, he was locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If Master Shen died at this time, then he would be fine.

I pretended to be helpless and returned home with Shen Qian. That night, I sneaked into Master Shen's room and killed him with Chen Lan's dagger.

That night, Chen Lan was with the Fifth Prince.

Brother Liushen went out to seduce the fifth prince, stunned Chen Lan, threw him in Master Shen's room, and stuffed a bloody dagger in his hand.

I had a headache the next day because I took medicine the night before to counteract the hypnotic effect of the tranquilizing incense.

5,

After Chen Lan was arrested for murdering Shen Shangshu, the criminal department found out from Chen Lan's house that he and the bandits conspired to rob Qizhou's army's salary—it was forged by me.

Of course Chen Lan didn't recognize it, but it was indeed his handwriting.

So he wanted to find someone to die with him.

Me or Jiang Zhiyu.

Or I met Jiang Zhi.

Including the Ming family and the Jiang family behind us.

At this time, an opportunity appeared, someone could be picked off, hide in Su Ling, and let another person clean up and take care of the mess.

I deliberately imitated Shen Qian's handwriting to tell Ling Chumeng that I would imitate other people's handwriting, and my suspicion was even greater.

But Ling Chumeng still chose to keep me.

I should be grateful to him.

But I couldn't help hating him.

6,

Jiang Zhiyu has been very stupid since he was a child.

Carrying everything for me, helping me with everything, every time I bullied him, he would pretend to be angry, and then show a fatal and gentle smile.

Spoiled me into such a tricky and reckless person.

So I love him.

But he died.

☆, a side story

1,

Zeng Liushen knocked on the door three times.

Then push the door and go in.

I saw Ming Su sitting sickly at the table near the window.

It is cold dew today.

Hongyan guests.

"Are you blaming me?" He put the saucer on the table, took the handle of the Kui pattern knife into Ming Su's hand, and said calmly, "Where did you stab me? Can you relieve your anger?"

There was a trace of panic on Bai Ruxue's face, and Ming Su couldn't help but dodge: "What am I blaming you for?"

"If I save Jiang Zhiyu, I won't die, right?"

Ming Su lowered his eyes from the beginning to the end, not daring to look at Zeng Liushen: "If you can save it, you will definitely save it. If you can't save it, you're not saved. I know it."

Zeng Liushen raised his chin, fed a sip of tea to his parched lips: "Then why did you hurt me these few days?"

Ming Su said in a thin voice, "I, I didn't."

"You insulted yourself like this, and you said you didn't hurt me?"

A flush of embarrassment appeared on his face for an instant, and then he turned pale again.

"I didn't blame you." Ming Su said slowly, "I don't want to hurt you either. I just..."

Finally came the crying voice: "I am, I kind of miss him."

2,

Zeng Liushen hugs Ming Su into his arms.

The person in his arms choked up and said, "What should I do..."

I kind of think about the year when I was sold into Ming's house to be his book boy.Everyone said that the fifth young master was a devil in the world, and he was very difficult to serve, but I was only surprised by the inexplicable doting smiles on everyone's faces.On the first side, the noble and flamboyant young master took out a jade bi and said as if offering a treasure, "My cousin gave me a treasure, do you like it?"

Like it.

I replied with trepidation: "It's so beautiful."

I kind of think of the way his eyes lit up when he said "for you".

And every time he played a prank, he couldn't hide his chuckle.

Getting caught for making mistakes, admitting to love faster than anyone else, and pretending to be pitiful since childhood, people can't help but want to always follow him and spoil him.

"Mencius" said: When the chest is upright, the eyes are clear.

I kind of miss the time when his eyes were clear and bright, just like his name.

The fifth young master was the least able to tell lies before, and he showed his mind clearly.He likes the young master of the Jiang family, but he is only shy and swears at each other.After struggling for four or five days and copying scriptures for more than a dozen nights, I finally begged a box of imperial rouge from the old lady, but when I gave it to someone, I said that I picked it up on the road.

I kind of think that he's so bewildered and clumsy that he's lost all composure.Be so careful because you care.

And when something happened to the Ming family.

When something happened to the Ming family.

I kind of want to...

He burned a shelf of sage books and sat for a long time late at night, with a generous face of determination to die.

I don't know, did he cry when the lights were turned off?

When he was called away by Hubu Shangshu, did he cry?

Stabbed a knife into someone's chest, did he cry?

Did he cry when he married Shen Qian?

The Fifth Young Master loved crying the most when he was a child, it was another way of expressing his love.

Later, he fell in love with Young Master Jiang, and never cried again.

Probably the love in my heart finally became enough.

Or, heh... just want to be more manly in front of each other.

3,

I also kind of think that he will suddenly stop smiling in the last year when his mind becomes heavy.

Even the struggle of repeatedly tearing up the package before going to Suling.

Even when he heard the news of Young Master Jiang's death, his grief was greater than his heart's death.

Even the witty words she insisted on saying with pale lips on the hospital bed.

I just kind of miss him.

4,

How to do it.

Ming Su buried his face in Zeng Liu's deep chest, crying loudly.
