Chapter 13

At this time, it was getting late.

Bai Keqing dug out a jar from the soil, returned to the city, and found Mo Guoke in the bamboo forest.

The starlight in the sky is reflected in the stream, fish swim in the stream in the bamboo forest, the cool wind blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle.

Mo Guoke sat on the ground, enjoying the cool breeze, looking at the rice fields in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

The big yellow dog ran forward, sat beside him, turned to look at Bai Keqing, and wagged its tail.

Bai Ke stepped forward and handed over the jar: "It's something left by Master Mo."

A trace of blood came, Mo Guoke turned his head to look at Bai Keqing, took the jar, and took off the red cloth cover.

There are banknotes and some notes in the wine jar, as well as suicide notes and letters.

After Bai Keqing handed over the jar, he didn't stay here too long, turned around and left.

The big yellow dog looked at Bai Keqing who was leaving, and hurriedly followed.

Mo Guoke looked at Bai Keqing who turned around and left, with mixed emotions in his heart: "..."

Bai Ke instantly knew what Mo Guoke was thinking, but he couldn't comfort people, the more he comforted, the more sad he became.

What's more, he... might be about to fall too.

Mo Guoke opened the suicide note and looked at it.

Contents of suicide note:

"Sigh for life and death, you can't sigh for years.Now that I have fallen into a dream, why do I lament?

Children, what is there to think about sin?What is there to think about missing?It's just because of fate, I can't blame those people who came over, just live well, and dad will be at ease.

Death is a common occurrence. When people live enough, they die. Dad is tired of living and boring. Dad wants to go to a place that used to be, maybe there is your mother in that place...

Son, you may have forgotten your mother. Your mother likes to embroider in front of the window the most, and father also likes to imitate your mother's embroidery behind the window.

You don't know your mother, so father will tell you about your mother, which will make you feel better.

Speaking of your mother, during the rainy season that year, your father was just a butcher who sold meat, and your mother was just a rich lady who didn't understand anything.

For some reason, your mother took a fancy to me during that rainy season, and I don't know why, but she took a fancy to your mother.

Those young ladies, they hated you so much at the beginning, they hated me, and your mother hated them too.

At the beginning, I also complained that my father was an unprofessional, but he was actually a butcher.

Your mother likes to come to Dad's stall to buy meat.Those daughters of gold, seeing the blood, were so frightened that half of their souls were lost. Your mother is not afraid of things.Dad thought at the beginning, your mother is so kind.

She likes to sit in front of her father's stall the most, and listen to what happened to her on the mountain. Father, she is also happy to tell your mother about those things.

Father is looking forward to your mother coming to the stall every day, because ah, father has a lot to say to your mother.

Dad wants to tell your mother about the doves in the mountains, and also about the foxes in the mountains, and... snakes. When Dad talks about snakes, your mother is so frightened that she rushes to find a doctor.

Looking back at that time, it's really funny that my father didn't know that she went to the doctor to watch drugs for him.

It's also strange that at that time, father told your mother that snakes are poisonous and cannot be touched.

Haha, since then, Dad never dared to say those stupid things to your mother again.

Also, one time, Dad caught a bird to make your mother happy.

But your mother doesn't like it when Dad catches those small animals, Dad, I'm puzzled.

Your mother watched dad kill pigs and cows every day, why did he suddenly not like how dad treated those animals...

Dad just asked, and after asking, Dad found out, it turns out that your mother doesn't like your father bullying some poor animals.

Dad changed.

Your mother often sneaks out of the mansion to see my father, she is really nice, she is different from other young ladies.

But she is a young lady, and my father is a butcher, so my father dare not express his feelings.

On the day when men and women met, father sold all the meat early, bought hairpins, and came to your mother.

Dad looked at your mother, but he didn't dare to send it out.

In the end, it was your mother who gave father a purse and left angrily.

At that time, Dad secretly scolded himself for being worthless, and hurriedly chased after him.

When Dad saw her at the bridge... Dad didn't know why, but your mother didn't leave at that time, so she was waiting for Dad at the bridge.

Dad guesses, maybe your mother is waiting for dad to give you hairpins...

After your mother received the hairpin, she smiled happily, even though the hairpin is very vulgar and poor to other ladies.

But your mother still likes it very much, and treats it as a treasure all day long, and is reluctant to be touched by others.

At that time, Dad was thinking, could your mother have fallen into a fool, why did she like those hairpins so much that young ladies don't like.

It wasn't until later that dad found out that what your mother likes is everything about dad.

Thinking of the day when your mother came to look for your father wearing a wedding dress, your father was taken aback. It wasn't until your mother said that she would become an abandoned wife for your father that he knew the cause and effect.

Under everyone's obstruction, father eloped with your mother, and he thought he would go on like this until he was arrested that day.

Your mother is willing to live a life of poverty with your father, but your mother's family does not want it, and neither does your father.

At that time, father gave up everything, paid homage to the Bai family, and became an official in the court. Later, he learned that during the period of father's hard study, your mother married five times, escaped marriage twice, and became an abandoned wife three times...

She has suffered too much for father, and father owes too much, father is going to find her...』

Seeing this, Mo Guoke still felt a little uncomfortable.

The Mo mansion burned down, it was definitely not done by father, who could it be?Did dad know that the time of death is coming, so he wrote down these things in advance?

He doesn't know, he doesn't know, he doesn't know anything...

The big yellow dog who didn't know when came, bit his sleeve and hurriedly pulled him aside.

Mo Guoke was a little confused.

The big yellow dog dragged him to death.

After a while, he was still confused.

The big yellow dog patted it with one paw, which happened to land on Mo Guoke's hand.

Mo Guoji was still confused.

The big yellow dog gave up and hurried to the front, then turned to look at Mo Guoke, motioning to follow.

Mo Guoke looked at the big yellow dog biting his clothes and having neck cramps, he was so confused.

It wasn't until the white dove in the sky couldn't stand it any longer, stepped on Mo Guoke's head with a paw, and expressed its dissatisfaction with a cry, Mo Guoke followed.

Don't ask why the white pigeons call all over the body, Mo Guoke just follows them, because the white pigeons were raised by Mo Guoke, one person and one bird have deep feelings for each other, so that's it.

And don't ask why the dove is in the sky, for that is its home.

Under the guidance of the big yellow dog, Mo Guoke came to the depths of the bamboo forest.

The place was full of blood, and blood flowed all over the ground... Bai Ke fell to the ground, bleeding.

city ​​gate.

Liu Anming looked at the female guard, and checked again and again: "Did you really not see any suspicious person entering the city yesterday?"

Female guard: "No... yes."

Du Qianfei poked Liu Anming: "You are stupid, who said that the one who killed Master Mo must be someone from outside the city?"

Jiang Shashui also echoed, "Yeah, maybe it was done by people from the city."

Liu Anming: "Isn't it the newly appointed Master Liu?"

Jiang Shashui: "My father went to investigate, and it is said that it is impossible."

Du Qianfei walked aside and looked at the moon in the sky: "Impossible? What did you find?"

Jiang Shashui: "Neither literary nor martial arts, just a mediocre talent who relies on connections to get ahead."

Du Qianfei: "Oh, that's impossible. The guards of the Mo Mansion were sent by the Holy One. A guy who doesn't know martial arts wants to enter the Mo Mansion... Tsk, don't want to come out alive."

Liu Anming: "That's hard to say, if there is the eyeliner of the Empress Dowager, it is still possible."

Du Qianfei: "Then... why don't we go and check?"

Liu Anming: "Could it be? Go to the Liu Mansion to investigate?"

Jiang Shashui: "Do you think we can get in?"

Du Qianfei: "You can enter the Ten Thousand Tribulation Temple, so what's the mere Liu Mansion? What's more, Mr. Liu doesn't know martial arts, and he dare not resist even if we beat him up."

Liu Anming: "You are loyal, let's go, let's meet the new Mr. Liu."

Under some impulsive anger, the three climbed up the wall and came to Liu's mansion.

What is the Liu Mansion?Where Master Liu lives, who is Master Liu?Mr. Liu is the official of the imperial court.

Is it easy to mess with court officials?of course not.

As soon as they fell into Liu's mansion from the wall, the three of them were beaten out by the guards.

The guards were the Empress Dowager's guards, and the Empress Dowager was not easy to mess with, so naturally these guards were not easy to mess with.

After unremitting efforts, the three dug a tunnel.

After working on this tunnel for most of the night, just after digging into Lord Liu's room, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

"What's the smell? It's weird and strong." Jiang Shashui crawled out first.

Du Qianfei: "Fools, cover your noses quickly and don't inhale."

Liu Anming pinched his nose: "As expected, this place is not simple."

Jiang Shashui covered his nose and walked forward in the dark: "Did you really dig the right place? How could it be so dark here?"

Du Qianfei tripped over something, fell down, and fell to the ground: "Hiss~ what a thing, hurry up, hurry up, find out what evidence there is, this fall, I'm afraid it will attract people."

Liu Anming didn't know what he touched, so he took a few steps back in fright: "Is...is there someone?"

Jiang Shashui: "No, it was Du Qianfei who fell and wanted to attract people."

Liu Anming stepped forward and touched again: "Do you feel that someone is touching you?"

Du Qianfei: "I haven't, maybe someone is touching you?"

Jiang Shashui: "Me neither."

Liu Anming touched the thing in front of him, feeling a bit incredulous: "Why... how can I feel that there is something under my hand, and the wind blowing on my face... It seems, it seems that it is a person."

Du Qianfei: "No way? Are we so bad?"

Jiang Shashui: "Why don't you light up the lamp and have a look?"

Liu Anming touched again: "Lighting the lamp? I'm afraid that lighting the lamp will attract the guards. If the thing in my hand is not a human being, then it will really attract people, and we will all be finished."

Jiang Shashui: "But if the thing in your hand is a human being, the rest of us will still have to finish playing."

Du Qianfei: "Where did we dig?"

Liu Anming: "If the direction is correct, it should be Liu's room."

Jiang Shashui took out a fire pocket from his sleeve: "If you are discovered, what will be the consequences?"

Liu Anming: "Boom out?"

Du Qianfei seemed to have sensed something, and paused: "If Liu is really a murderer, what do you think, will we all end up being blasted out or silenced? Think about it, he even dared to kill Master Mo."

Jiang Shashui: "But... I am the son of the general of the Jiang family, I am the son of the general, forgive him for not daring to do anything to us."
