The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 31 Falling short of success

"Sir, you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, but you haven't been forced to the point of desperation yet!"

"Liu Quan should be your accomplice."

Every step of the sculpture was done by Liu Quan, so he could only be an accomplice.

"Yes, I just took advantage of his desire. As long as people have desires, they are prone to making mistakes."

"I told him that as long as he helped me do this, I would definitely help him if his child wants to get admitted! He didn't kill the person, so he just didn't say anything..."

The people present looked at each other in shock at such a ridiculous reason.

Chen Shu's face turned cold and he scolded sternly: "It's a waste of time that you have read the books of sages for so many years! You actually believe these heresies."

"Sir - he who succeeds is king. I just failed. If I had not been a master this time, I might have passed the exam next time. It's a pity that there will be no next time. Finally, there will be no next time."

Wen Xiuyuan took something out of his sleeve and quickly put it into his mouth.

Chen Shu was startled and rushed forward to check. He saw Wen Xiuyuan fell to the ground and began to twitch. After a moment, his face turned ashen, and blood foam continued to leak out from the corners of his mouth. He had been poisoned.

Wen Jiu watched Wen Xiuyuan twitch the corners of his mouth, revealing a vague smile. He wanted to give himself a relief.

She knew that this man did not deserve sympathy, so she wanted to leave with everyone, but she saw Chen Shu squatting in front of Wen Xiuyuan, his eyes full of emotion, and she couldn't help but stand for a while longer.

She recalled that many years ago, when she returned to Beijing to visit her parents, it suddenly rained heavily in the capital. She heard the ridicule and insults outside in the carriage, so she got out of the carriage and gave her jade pendant to the scholar. She wondered how that man was doing now. .

"Girl, come out alone?"

After Wen had calmed down for a long time, the people around him had dispersed, and he was the only one still standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

Chen Shu stood in front of him, like a pole of green bamboo.

"Ahem, cough, cough, I just wanted to come and see the excitement. I was afraid that the maid would go back and tell my parents. I was afraid of being scolded, so I sent her away."

She coughed tactically, a thousand excuses running through her mind.

"There has been some unrest in the capital recently. Let me send the girl back." Chen Shu's face was cold, as if he was doing something routine.

"Oh, no, no, I'll just go back by myself. Besides, you're wearing official uniform, so it's hard to send me back."

If he was caught by someone with intentions, other troubles might arise.

"It's okay. I live nearby. Girl, please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and take her back."

"Okay, thank you, sir." Wen Jiu didn't know why, but he couldn't say his refusal.

She followed Chen Shu obediently, with a hint of joy in her heart.

Afraid that she would not be able to keep up with him, Chen Shu tried his best to control his pace and resisted turning his head to look at her.

Pushing open the yellowed courtyard door, he said to Wen Jiu at the foot of the steps in a normal tone: "Come in."

Wen Jiu had already lifted up his skirt and was about to go up, but suddenly he noticed something dirty beside the door.

She retracted her feet silently, "My lord, please go in and change. I'll take a walk around here. I'm afraid I'll be anxious waiting for you inside."

Chen Shu didn't force himself, he just suppressed the emotion in his eyes and turned around and entered the courtyard.

Seeing Chen Shu enter the room, Wen Jiucian put away the smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Jiu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Wen Xiuyuan, who had just stood under the eaves, was startled.     “Can the girl see me?”

It turns out that there are really people in this world who can see dead ghosts.

"Wen Xiuyuan, not only can I see you, but if you still don't repent, I will kill you. I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated."

"Haha, I thought what I did was perfect, but Chen Shu suddenly found the sculpture. I'm afraid it's the girl's fault as well."

Wen Xiuyuan is a smart man, otherwise he would not be able to pass the five-year scientific examination, and he is only a few short of passing the exam in three years.

"The matter has come to this, you must not make the same mistake again and again. It is Mr. Chen's duty to solve the case and pursue the murderer."

"Don't panic, girl, I'm just here to see if those people who come from poor families and get into college are what I imagined." Wen Xiuyuan forced a smile. His face was pale, but this bitter smile was true. Worse than crying.

"Wen Xiuyuan, this is the end of this life. There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in this world. Just reflect on it for a few days and someone will come and take you away."

"Girl, if someone like me tortures and kills innocent people, will there be no way to reincarnate again?" Wen Xiuyuan stood under the eaves of Chen's house made of dark tiles with dull eyes. He wanted to cry but found that there were no tears left. flow.

"I have also imagined that I would be like Mr. Chen, leaping over the dragon gate, seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day, and having a gentle and virtuous woman as my wife. Would this life be complete?"

Wen Xiuyuan seemed to have seen a scene of extreme happiness, and a glint of light flashed in his empty eyes.

Wen Jiu said calmly: "Now you see, Mr. Chen has solved numerous cases in the Ministry of Justice and is highly appreciated by the emperor, but he can only live in the most ordinary house in Beijing."

"As for what kind of woman I will marry."

Wen Jiu suddenly remembered what Lu Xu said to him, even if Chen Shu is interested, he still has to see if he can catch up with you.
  "As for what kind of woman he will marry, it is not up to him to decide."

"Wen Xiuyuan, getting admitted may be very important to you, but it is absolutely easy. You can't just do one thing in this life. You have great ambitions, but you don't have a normal heart. I hope you will be a good person in the next life. "

There was a sound of closing the door in the courtyard. Wen Jiu counted the time and Chen Shu came out. She nodded slightly to Wen Xiuyuan and walked to the entrance of the alley.

She said that she wanted to go out for a walk, so she couldn't stand guard at someone else's door now.

"Miss Wen."

As soon as Chen Shu turned around, he saw Wen Jiu standing at the entrance of the alley, looking around, as if he was dazzled by the busy city.

Wen Jiu heard the voice coming from behind her, and she turned around and smiled softly.

The eyebrows are curved and very beautiful.

The two people's eyes just happened to meet. Across the quiet empty alley, Wen Jiu was standing at the entrance of the alley and Chen Shu was standing under the eaves.

"Master Chen." She saw that Chen Shu had changed back into a black robe, and thought of the clothes that had just been hung to dry in the courtyard.

He must smell like sunshine, clean and nice, Wen Jiu secretly guessed.

"Let's go." Chen Shu lowered his gaze and walked to the entrance of the alley and whispered.

"it is good."

This place is located in the heart of the downtown area and is bustling with people, shouts and shouts. Wonton noodles and candied haws are all available on the street, and a thick smell of fireworks fills the air between the two of them.

Wen Jiu was in a good mood for some reason. In the past, if she caught ghosts, she would go back to her room to rest for three to five days, but today she could catch eight or ten more.

Chen Shu noticed the excitement of the woman next to him, his eyes fell on the cloak on her body, and he couldn't help but ask: "Have Miss Wen been to Yunlai Restaurant today?"

　In the end, everyone will have something to drink ~ don’t worry be haha
