Clatter —— 嗒—— In the living room only then the water drop on bamboo hat drops the light sound that sends out in the ground occasionally. 客厅内只有斗笠上的水珠偶尔滴在地面发出的轻响。 The Xu Buling boots kick lightly on opening not the slanting forehead, that clenches teeth to crawl will not be slanting to kick to faint. In the hand holds Zhang Xiang treasured sword along, towed complete large round-backed wooden armchair from Concubine Jiu Jie, puts down in the Zhang Xiang front, strokes the gown skirt-width to take a seat lightly, lifts the hand to hint. 许不令靴子轻踢在张不斜的脑门上,将咬牙想爬起来的张不斜踢晕了过去。手中持着张翔的随身宝刀,从九节娘娘身旁拖了张完好的太师椅,在张翔的面前放下,轻拂袍子下摆就坐,抬手示意。 Zhang Xiang gets hold of the double fist, swept person in the living room, although dropped down, does not have the deceased person, rivers of blood that this just right strength, the far ratio kills let person apprehensive. 张翔握紧双拳,扫了眼客厅中的人,虽然都倒下了,却没有死人,这份恰到好处的力道,远比杀的血流成河更让人心惊。 Zhang Xiang looked to sit on the large round-backed wooden armchair the rain clothes guest, after being slightly silent, arrived on nearby chair to sit down. 张翔看了看坐在太师椅上蓑衣客,稍微沉默后,走到旁边的椅子上坐下了。 „Does your excellency, what want to ask?” “阁下,要问什么？” Xu Buling by the large round-backed wooden armchair, finger has wiped the bright as snow blade edge, hoarse-voiced opens the mouth: 许不令靠在太师椅上,手指抹过雪亮的刀锋,声音沙哑的开口: „Youzhou Zhu Family matter.” “幽州祝家的事儿。” Zhang Xiang swept the appearance of Xu Buling, with inserting is opening not the slanting body iron sword. Israeli skill, Sword Saint Zhu Liu of new promote definitely had this skill, but this issue was also related with the Zhu Liu deep hatred, that status was very good to guess, he could not find out others except for Zhu Liu. 张翔扫了扫许不令的打扮,和插在张不斜身上的铁剑。以方才的身手来看,新晋的剑圣祝六肯定有这个本事,而这个问题也和祝六的血仇有关,那身份就很好猜了,除了祝六他想不出别人。 „Is your excellency then Sword Saint Zhu Liu?” “阁下便是剑圣祝六？” The Xu Buling bamboo hat blocks the face, only reveals to wrap the chin of black turban, the sound is light: 许不令斗笠挡住脸,只露出包着黑巾的下巴,声音平淡: „Whose I am you do not need to manage, replied truthfully, keeps the lives of some place people.” “我是谁你不用管,如实回答,留在场所有人的性命。” „......” “……” Zhang Xiang is pinching the chair the hand, knuckle flood white, the innermost feelings are very obviously angry. On Arresting and Scouting Department under investigates Bai the officer catches the greenwood, on Jianghu is always existences of being panic at the news, he as the Arresting and Scouting Department foreign facade, by this grade of threat. 张翔捏着椅子把手,指节泛白,内心显然很愤怒。缉侦司上查百官下捕绿林,在江湖上从来都是闻风丧胆的存在,他作为缉侦司对外的门面,何时受过这等威胁。 But Jianghu is this, is standing matches the speech, is lying down does not have the qualifications, this/should lowering the head time, not being able to allow you not to lower the head. 可江湖就是这样,站着的才配说话,躺着的没资格,该低头的时候,容不得你不低头。 Zhang Xiang slightly was silent the moment, shakes the head: „I am not the Jianghu person, only respects one ‚loyally’ character. As the Arresting and Scouting Department commanding officer, holds the official document storehouse dense files, if a blade can make me open the mouth, Your Majesty will not place my body this heavy responsibility.” 张翔稍微沉默了片刻,摇了摇头:“我不是江湖人,只敬一个‘忠’字。作为缉侦司主官,掌案牍库密档,若是一把刀就能让我开口,圣上也不会把此重任放在我身上。” Xu Buling nods slightly, is looking in the hand the blade, the sound is light: 许不令微微颔首,看着手中刀,声音平淡: „Sir Zhang deathsworn family background, to now Your Majesty loyal no one suspected, finishes a job the foot to estimate cannot ask anything......” “张大人死士出身,对当今圣上的忠诚没人怀疑,断手断脚估计也问不出什么……” Zhang Xiang raised the head slightly, the look is cold, without the half a point fears intent. 张翔微微抬头,眼神冷冽,没有半分惧意。 „...... I only asked that the Zhu Family matter, how wish the Old Sword Saint body dead, did not ask other.” “……我只问祝家的事儿,祝老剑圣如何身死,不问其他。” Zhang Xiang is unemotional, the sound is chilly: „This case government authorities have the conclusion early, Youzhou Zhu Family defies the royal order, regards the connivance to go against, in the clan the adult male beheads to expose to the public all. It is well known, why to ask again.” 张翔面无表情,声音清冷:“此案官家早有定论,幽州祝家违抗御令,视同谋逆,族中男丁尽数斩首示众。人尽皆知,何必再问。” Xu Buling shakes the head: „The view of government authorities, only then half real, what I must ask was how the same day to kill wishing Old Sword Saint that which people there are.” 许不令摇了摇头:“官家的说法,只有一半是真的,我要问的是当日如何杀的祝老剑圣,有哪些人。” Zhang Xiang light snort/hum: „this Official leads, Arresting and Scouting Department and Youzhou Tang Family and Cui Family arrest with joint forces, eliminates the thief for the country, never denied.” 张翔淡淡哼了一声:“本官带队,缉侦司与幽州唐家、崔家合力缉拿,为国除贼,从未否认。” Xu Buling inspires, lifted the bamboo hat slightly: „Tang Jiao and Cui Family retainer, adds on Arresting and Scouting Department some falcons and dogs, extinguished the Zhu Family whole families, cannot extinguish to wish Old Sword Saint. How do you kill?” 许不令吸了口气,稍微抬起了斗笠:“唐蛟、崔家门客、加上缉侦司的些许鹰犬,灭的了祝家满门,灭不了祝老剑圣。你们是如何杀的？” „......” “……” Zhang Xiang narrows the eye slightly, did not say a word. 张翔微微眯眼,一言不发。 „The person who does not fear death are many, so long as is the person, always has the thing of caring, Sir Zhang wants to come also...... to tell a story to you same.” “不怕死的人很多,但只要是人,总有在乎的东西,张大人想来也一样……给你讲个故事吧。” Xu Buling is looking at Yanling Blade in hand, the tone is light: 许不令看着手中的雁翎刀,语气平淡: „ Chang'an City Xinghua Work place is the place that the poor person lives, inside has a ruined temple, gathered begged, was the poverty-stricken child who some parents died of illness and starve to death, every day depended on goes begging and steals money Weisheng, lived mostly is about 20 years old starves to death or is killed...... “长安城的兴华坊是穷人住的地方,里面有个破庙,聚集了很多乞儿,都是些父母病死、饿死的穷苦孩子,每天靠着乞讨、偷钱为生,多半活不过二十岁就饿死或者被打死了…… ......

The benefactors asked that he ‚you do want the big prospect?’, He replied that ‚thinks’. Then became the apprentice of that benefactor, teaches him martial arts, restores the status to him, finally really had the big prospect, is not only an official, but also sight marries to go home in that young lady.” 许不令摩挲着雁翎刀,抬眼望了望张翔:“……不过,可能是天道酬勤吧,那小子运气好,有一天遇到了个恩人。恩人问他‘你想不想有大出息？’,他回答说‘想’。然后就成了那个恩人的徒弟,教他武艺,给他恢复身份,最后真的有了大出息,不仅当了官,还风风光光的把那小姐娶回了家里。” The Zhang Xiang brow is tight, is pinching the chair arm rest: „What do you actually want to say?” 张翔眉头紧蹙,捏着椅子扶手:“你到底想说什么？” Xu Buling inspires gently: „After that child grows up, in the heart only thought of two people, an adoptive father who is to let him matures, delivers the wife who the thing eats when down and out to him secretly. Regards the only family member them, frequently prepares to build the life for the family member......” 许不令轻轻吸了口气:“那个孩子长大后,心里面只装了两个人,一个是让他成才的义父,一个是在穷困潦倒时偷偷给他送东西吃的妻子。把他们当成唯一的家人,时时刻刻都准备着为家人把命搭进去……” During the speeches, Xu Buling puts out together the longevity lock pendant worn by children from the bosom, puts on the red thread. 说话之间,许不令从怀里拿出一块长命锁,穿着红绳。 Zhang Xiang the forehead blue vein stuck out suddenly immediately, breathes heavily several points. 张翔顿时额头青筋暴起,呼吸重了几分。 Xu Buling looks at the longevity lock pendant worn by children, sighed gently: „Last month, the child had a son, the family member turned into three, having a dream the time can smile to awake, gives back to the son to name to call ‚to fly’, wanting the son also to be able like his adoptive father fierce......” 许不令看着长命锁,轻轻叹了口气:“上个月,那孩子生了个儿子,家里人变成了三个,做梦的时候都能笑醒,还给儿子取名叫‘张翱’,希望儿子也能像他义父那样厉害……” Ka —— 咔—— Chair arm rest by forcefully crumb. 椅子扶手被硬生生捏碎。 Xu Buling lifts the bamboo hat slightly, said in a soft voice: „The Sir Zhang deathsworn birth, did not care about the life and death, aware did not care about the family/home to be small, but the family member cared about you. Over stretch/open Tingbao boiled so many years to boil finally, the father was just born in the wife virtue son, did Sir Zhang make one destroy him on being cruel enough?” 许不令稍微抬起斗笠,轻声道:“张大人死士出生,不在乎生死,自觉也不在乎家小,但家里人在乎你。张庭豹熬了这么多年终于熬出头,父在妻贤儿子刚刚出生,张大人就忍心让人毁了他？” The Zhang Xiang forehead blue vein sticks out suddenly, deep breath several times, cold sound said: 张翔额头青筋暴起,深呼吸了几次,冷声道: „In those days the gratitude and grudges, my one person undertook......” “往日恩怨,我一人承担……” „Is calamity less than the family/home?” “祸不及家？” Xu Buling looks in the hand not to know that killed Yanling Blade of many Jianghu people, cold sound said: „The Jianghu people do not obey this custom, let alone is Sir Zhang, the Zhu Family whole families adult male, is difficult to be inadequate each punishment is deserved?” 许不令看着手中不知杀了多少江湖人的雁翎刀,冷声道:“连江湖人都不守这个规矩,更何况是张大人,祝家满门男丁,难不成各个罪有应得？” „......” “……” In the Zhang Xiang hand grips the sawdust, the sawdust is puncturing in the hand the skin, bloody: 张翔手中攥着木屑,木屑刺破手上皮肤,血流如注: „Courtyard leopard family/home is small, but is safe and sound?” “庭豹家小,可安然无恙？” Xu Buling receives the longevity lock pendant worn by children: „You replied truthfully, today crosses nothing happened.” 许不令收起长命锁:“你如实回答,今天就什么都没发生过。” In the living room is silent, is only left over the thunderstorms of out of the window to happen simultaneously. 客厅里沉默下来,只剩下窗外的雷雨交加。 Zhang Xiang sat on the chair was very long, the blood bead in hand fell on the floor, changed into one bloody water gradually. 张翔在椅子上坐了很久,手中的血珠地落在地板上,渐渐化为了一摊血水。 „...... Ten years ago...... wished the silk mountain not to obey the royal government to dispatch, Tang Family and Cui Family in Youzhou, had the bitter enemy with Zhu Family early, then took a walk in Imperial Court, governed to Zhu Family sought the counter crime, by Old Yi, I, Tang Jiao, Cui brave, led three hundred Wolf Guards and two retainer, encircled Zhu Family......” “……十年前……祝绸山不听从朝廷调遣,唐家、崔家同在幽州,和祝家早有世仇,便在朝中走动,给祝家治了谋逆之罪,由老乙、我、唐蛟、崔英,率领三百狼卫及两家的门客,围剿祝家……” Xu Buling nod —— Old Yi hear of names know gently is a Eunuch Jia generation of person, but he has never seen, perhaps hides in Chang'an City underground that. 许不令轻轻点头——老乙听名字知道是和贾公公一辈的人,只是他从未见过,恐怕是藏在长安城地下的那个。 „...... The operator sword wished the silk mountain, forcing Jianghu one generation, martial arts reached the pinnacle. I and other people fight three times not to beat with it, the strong bow arbalest also wished the sword of silk mountain quickly, can only on the grounds of extinguishing Zhu Family whole families, wishing the silk mountain limits near Zhu Family does not make him flee......” “……算子剑祝绸山,力压江湖一代人,武艺登峰造极。我等四人与其交手三次都不敌,强弓劲弩也快不过祝绸山的剑,只能以灭祝家满门为由,把祝绸山限制在祝家附近不让其逃离……” „Wish the silk mountain not to walk, did you extinguish the Zhu Family whole families?” “祝绸山没走,你还是灭了祝家满门？” „Law did not spare, takes orders from the conduct...... Eunuch Jia to pity sought the sentiment to Your Majesty, only killed the adult male.” “法不容情,听命行事……贾公公惜才向圣上求了情,只杀了男丁。” Xu Buling nods: „Since cannot be victorious, wishing Old Sword Saint how to kill.” 许不令点了点头:“既然打不过,如何杀的祝老剑圣。” Zhang Xiang closely is gripping the palm, slightly silent moment: „...... Cui Family does not know that borrowed Locking Dragon Gu from where, wish the silk mountain to be poisoned, finally the poison sent dead.” 张翔紧紧攥着手心,稍微沉默了片刻:“……崔家不知从何处借来了锁龙蛊,祝绸山中毒,最终毒发而死。” „Locking Dragon Gu......” “锁龙蛊……” Xu Buling was slightly silent under: „The year before last King Su Heir Apparent also did Locking Dragon Gu...... in the royal government hand have Locking Dragon Gu?” 许不令稍微沉默了下:“前年肃王世子也中了锁龙蛊……朝廷手中还有锁龙蛊？” Zhang Xiang inspires gently: Of „Zhu Family, Old Yi stole Locking Dragon Gu, in the summer of the year before last year in storehouse stolen, is unknown.” 张翔轻轻吸了口气:“祝家之事后,老乙劫走了锁龙蛊,前年夏天内库失窃,去向不明。” „Kills wished Old Sword Saint then only then your four people?” “杀祝老剑圣的便只有你们四人？” „Our four people are the heads.” “我们四人为首。” Xu Buling nods gently, inserts Yanling Blade in the ground, throws that longevity lock pendant worn by children. 许不令轻轻点头,把雁翎刀插在地上,丢出那枚长命锁。 Zhang Xiang catches the longevity lock pendant worn by children, a brow wrinkle, looks at the back of rain clothes guest: 张翔接住长命锁,眉头一皱,看着蓑衣客的背影: „Doesn't kill me to eliminate a potential informant?” “不杀我灭口？” Xu Buling lives in the footsteps, slightly leaning head: 许不令顿住脚步,微微偏头: „As Emperor own health/guard, big crime that actually the divulging official document storehouse dense files, the whole families confiscate and behead, since you know that ‚calamity is less than family/home’, if willing with losing stretch/open Tingbao entire family life, why must I to begin.” “身为天子亲卫,却泄露案牍库密档,满门抄斩的大罪,你既然知道‘祸不及家’,若愿意拿搭上张庭豹全家性命,何须我来动手。” Zhang Xiang is gripping the longevity lock pendant worn by children, deeply inspires, looks down the longevity lock pendant worn by children in hand. 张翔攥着长命锁,深深吸了口气,低下头看了看手中的长命锁。 The silver qualitative longevity lock pendant worn by children is moistening a bloodstain, is flashing the glimmer under the candlelight. 银质的长命锁沾着点点血迹,在烛光下闪着微光。 Xu Buling from opening not slantingly conducts the back to draw out the long sword, scratched the bloodstain with the sleeve: 许不令从张不斜的背上拔出长剑,用袖子擦了擦血迹: „Family/Home national disaster is satisfactory to both sides, wants to work as a normal person, how could not to have own idea. Without your son, today you cannot live.” “家国难两全,想当个正常人,岂能没有自己的想法。没有你儿子,今天你活不了。” The words fall, Xu Buling raises the sword to go out of the door to enter in the torrential downpour. 话落,许不令提着剑走出房门进入瓢泼大雨中。 Zhang Xiang finger is stroking gently the longevity lock pendant worn by children, clenches teeth for a long time, until the person's shadow vanishes, in the silent living room resounds together the weak sigh...... 张翔手指摩挲着长命锁,咬牙许久,直至人影消失,寂静的客厅中才响起一道微弱的叹息声……
