At night, some people stayed in Xu's house and lit oil lamps.

The bed beside his body is empty. Xu Zhiheng sleeps in his study again tonight.

He Xinying walked to the table, picked up an outer garment and put it on his body. Looking at the wick beating in the oil lamp, his expression was complicated.

I don't know when, she and Xu Zhiheng seem to be covered with an invisible barrier. To be exact, since the last Palace Banquet, Xu Zhiheng has become extremely eccentric. Later, she met Hou Heyan of Wu'an with the same name and surname as her elder sister in the Yuhua temple. Soon after she returned to the mansion, he Rufei came to visit him. It's not so much a visit as a trial.

Some things, once there are signs of doubt, how can not let go. He Xinying can feel that there is a big secret hidden in the Xu family, which may be related to his dead elder sister, or It is also related to the he family.

She stood in front of the window. It was very cold in the winter in shuojing. On such a cold night, the servants went back to their rooms to sleep. He Xinying looks at the bare branches outside the window, thinks for a long time, finally puts on the Cape, picks up an oil lamp, and goes out of the room.

She is very light, walk very carefully, did not disturb others. The night watchman of the Xu family stayed outside the main courtyard and would not come in. Oil lamp light is very dark, can only reluctantly shine on the road under the feet, he Xinying dark walked to an abandoned yard.

This desolate yard is the courtyard where her elder sister Heyan lived. Even after he died, Xu Zhiheng still retains the original appearance of the courtyard. The last time he Xinying was here, she saw Xu Zhiheng, who was frantically searching for the drawer cabinet. She couldn't see what Xu Zhiheng was looking for, so she was found. This time, there was no one around for the moment. She wanted to have a look.

Although no one lives in the courtyard now, the snow in the yard is swept clean. She goes to Heyan's house. The room is not locked. With a slight push, the door opens.

He Xinying walks in.

The room exudes an old musty smell, cold and humid. He Xinying is slightly surprised. Isn't it that Xu Zhiheng often misses elder sister? But if you really miss elder sister, why doesn't the house be cleaned and dusted everywhere? It seems that no one has stepped on it for a long time and avoided it.

He Xinying looks around with the oil lamp.

This is a woman's boudoir. There are shelves in front of it. There are only some inexpensive vases and ornaments. There is a small table in the middle, which is covered with a thick layer of dust. The tea cups and teapots are even cobwebs. Inside was a big wooden bed, which seemed cleaner and covered with a thin blanket. This room looks lonely and empty, not as warm and delicate as the boudoir of ordinary daughter's house. As soon as I come in, I feel cold.

Although he had lived in the he family before, he Yan married soon after he came back to live, but the boudoir before marriage was also carefully arranged. If this is the house where he Yan used to live in the Xu family, and this room still retains the original appearance of He Yan, then he Xinying thinks that her elder sister, who died early, is not as happy as the rumor has it.

If it is because of blind eyes, it is not appropriate to put too many sundries in the house, so as not to trip the master, but the furnishings and utensils here are shabby and perfunctory. What's more, a blind man living alone in such a large room, if he were himself, he would have been driven crazy.

He Xinying walked to the table. Last time, she saw Xu Zhiheng rummage through the boxes and cabinets. She didn't know what to look for. She pulled out the wooden drawer. Sure enough, it was empty inside. I thought it was. If there was anything, Xu Zhiheng would have taken it.

She didn't realize that she had unconsciously placed Xu Zhiheng in an opposite position. Instead of relying on and trusting this gentle and considerate husband, she was on guard and suspicious instead. Even the warmth in the past, now in the eyes of he Xinying, has become hypocrisy.

He Xinying walked around the room and checked all the wooden drawers and shelves. He found nothing and didn't see anything useful. After coming out for too long, it was too cold outside, and the wind went straight to her knees. She rubbed her numb legs, looked at the relatively clean bed and sat down beside it.

In the room, only the oil lamp in my hand is shining slightly. Sitting here, I feel strange. When he calms down, he Xinying has some regrets. Good luck, what are you doing here. There is no one here. It is said that the soul of the dead will linger in the place where she used to live. If the elder sister is here Although they are consanguineous, they are not very close before. Moreover, if they want to go to hell at night, they can frighten people to death.

He Xinying couldn't help holding on to the bed column, which was a habit she had developed when she was young. When he was young, he was timid and had been sleeping with his mother. When he was a little older, he could not sleep with his mother. With his own yard, he Xinying was still very afraid when he lived alone. When I was most afraid, I would lean against the bed inside at night, tightly hold the bed pillar on the other side of the wall, and pray for the blessing of Bodhisattva in a low voice.

It's the same today.

However, when her fingers slide down the bed column, she suddenly feels something is wrong. He Xinying is stunned, and then reaches out to touch the place just below, and perceives something. She climbed up to the head of the bed, holding the oil lamp to look inside, and suddenly found a piece of wood slightly protruding on the side of the bed column against the wall.The girl was careful, and with a push of her fingers, the board fell off and a roll of yellow paper appeared from it, as if it were written. Her heart beat fast, only to understand that this thing is hidden here, it must be very important. It can't be said that this is exactly what Xu Zhiheng was looking for.

It's not sure when someone will come. He Xinying tugs at a book like thing from the deliberately hollowed out bed pillar. She quickly hides the book in her arms and fastens the wood of the bed column. Then she carefully lifts the oil lamp and leaves.

He Xinying secretly went back to his room all the way. Only then did he dare to take out the book from his arms. She looked through the weak light of the oil lamp. It was a Book indeed. She was bored with several pages and was stunned. This is a War book?

On the top of it are recorded all kinds of art of war. On the other hand, there are also the views of the reader's own handwriting. Judging from the handwriting, it is not Xu Zhiheng's. no one in Xu's family knows how to use martial arts. Besides, it is hidden in Heyan's room. How can you see, this military script was left by his elder sister who died early.

But How could he Yan read the book of war?

In other words, her cousin he Rufei was almost the same, but he Rufei's military book did not appear in the Xu family, and he kept such a careful principle.

He Xinying was holding this book of war, and he couldn't understand what was going on in his heart. At this time, someone's voice suddenly sounded outside. He Xinying was shocked. He quickly blew out the oil lamp, hid the book in the bottom box under the table, and walked to the collapse and lay down. Just lying down, a servant girl knocked on the door: "Granny? Granny

"What's the matter?" He Xin Ying pretended to answer sleepily.

There was a silence outside for a while. There was a man: "there is a thief in the yard. I asked us to ask grandma."

"Into the thief?" He Xinying was a little nervous, but he also pretended to be surprised. He opened the door to the servant girl in his outer dress. He asked in doubt, "how could a thief enter the house?"

"I don't know." The servant girl saw that He Xin shadow fruit was so good that she stayed in the room with a sigh of relief and said, "the master is trying the thief now."

"I'll go and have a look." He Xin Ying Dao. She closed the door and went to the main hall with the maid.

In the main hall, Xu Zhiheng was sitting on a chair in the middle. Around him stood a group of women and children. On the ground, a man dressed as a little boy was kneeling. He was kowtowing to Xu Zhiheng: "forgive me, sir. I really didn't take anything, nothing!"

Xu Zhiheng's face was so heavy that he wanted to drip water. He stared at him and said, "don't talk nonsense. Hand over the things you stole from the bed pillars of granny. Otherwise, you will die here today."

When he said this, his eyes were grim and fierce. He Xinying was quite different from his former gentle and kind-hearted appearance. He Xinying was surprised and even more nervous when he heard the word "bed pillar". She forced out a smile and went to Xu Zhiheng: "husband, what's the matter?"

Seeing he Xinying, Xu Zhiheng's expression slowed down and pointed to the humanity on the ground: "this man sneaked into a he's yard at night, and stole ah he's old things from the bed pillar. It's extremely hateful!"

Fuwang, a servant on the ground, said, "uncle, it's really not small. When I found the bed column, it was already empty, and I didn't take the things in it!"

Fuwang's heart was full of bitterness. Today, he just sneaked into the old granny's house while there was no one at night, so that he could look for the old things for the mysterious man. As a result, he turned around the room and found a place different from other places, that is, the bed pillar near the inner room. He thought there would be some secret inside, but when he opened it, it was empty. Before regret, I don't know when to disturb the outside people, was caught in front of Xu Zhiheng.

"Uncle, it's really not small. If you don't believe it You search the little one, search the place where the little one lives Little injustice

He Xinying looks at the little boy, kowtow and beg for mercy. He is frightened. It seems that he has done her replacement. However, if it's just ordinary property, with Xu Zhiheng's temperament, there's no need to be so critical. It's very important to beat a board and drive out of the government. How can you look at it now, but it seems like you want to live forever. Does Xu Zhiheng know what is in the bed column? But it's just a Book of war that looks very ordinary!

He Xinying doesn't understand.

"I see that you are full of lies and don't have a word of truth. In this case, I can't find a reason to leave you here, so I'll leave you to the government." Xu Zhiheng said coldly.

As soon as he said this, Fuwang suddenly changed color. Since ancient times, most of the servants handed over by the master to the government were dead, and the death was particularly torturing. He was just greedy, but he didn't want to take his own life. Besides, he was so wronged. To know that he didn't get anything, of course, it was the most important to save his life first. Fuwang begged: "please don't hand over the small ones to the government. In fact, the small ones are entrusted by others to steal things. The small ones tell all they know. Can you spare the little ones?"

"Entrusted?" Xu Zhiheng looks at him.

"That's right," Fuwang said, banging his head. "Even with a hundred cowards, I dare not steal things from my house."Xu Zhiheng stared at Fuwang, as if to distinguish whether Fuwang's words were true or false. After a moment, he said to the surrounding people: "you all go out, I have something to ask the thief."

He Xinying took a look at the boy on the ground, "husband, I..."

"You go out, too." Xu Zhiheng's attitude is very firm.

He Xinying didn't say anything. She stepped out and waited for the door to close before she looked at the direction of the room. She didn't know when her palm had been soaked with sweat.

That book of war What's going on?

In the room, Xu Zhiheng asked, "after all, who let you steal things from Xu's house?"

"Yes It's general ho. "

"Dare you lie to me?" Xu Zhiheng was furious.

Fu Wang was scared to kneel down again, "I dare not deceive you. The people who are in contact with the small ones say that their master is general he! "

Xu Zhiheng's hand clenched into a fist and suppressed his emotion: "why does he want you to come and steal things?"

"I don't know," Fuwang wiped the sweat on his forehead. "They gave a small sum of silver, and the little one was obsessed with it for a while. He also thought that he only wanted to steal something and inquire about himself, but he didn't want to do anything harmful to nature. So he agreed

"Inquirer?" Xu Zhiheng's eyes narrowed, "what do they want you to do?"

Fuwang only hopes to be able to go out, regardless of other things, and simply will know all, "they want to find some of the old granny's old things, and with the granny's life related people. When I entered the mansion, my grandmother had passed away. I couldn't find anyone. I just wanted to steal something He is also cunning. He only said that he was caught before he had time to do things for each other. He didn't mention anything about mother Qin. "He sneaked into granny's house tonight and was found before he found anything. But uncle, the things in that bed pillar are really not taken away by small ones. When I find the bed column, it will be empty

What he said was not false. Unfortunately, Xu Zhiheng still had doubts about him.

"Please spare me my life. I'll never dare to do it again!" He begged.

Uncle Xu, who was always soft hearted and easy to talk, did not answer today. Fuwang bravely looked up and saw that under the light and shadow of the lamp, the man's face was half bright and half dark, half as normal, and the other half like a ferocious devil, twisted and chilling.

I don't know how long after that, when Fuwang felt that he was about to lose his life, the man in charge spoke. Xu Zhiheng said: "since you said that general he asked you to do something, I will save your life. But... " His voice sank. "The next time they meet you, you need to tell them they haven't found out, and you can't tell them what I found out about you."

This is to ask him to cheat the people at the other end? Fuwang's suspicions flashed through his heart. He quickly lowered his head and said, "thank you very much! I will do a good job for you

Xu Zhiheng looked at the boy kneeling and kowtowing under his feet, and did not speak.

He Rufei secretly sent someone to investigate the old things of Heyan. What is this? Are you trying to get hold of it and threaten yourself?

Yes, a few days ago, there was a big fire in Xianchang hall. Unfortunately, what happened to be burned was the handwriting of "he Rufei" when he was young. As soon as the news reached the Xu family, Xu Zhiheng guessed that he Rufei must have done it. It seems that for the appearance of the cousin with the same name and surname, he Rufei is not as calm as it appears on the surface.

He family has too many handles. He Er Madame, he Rufei, he Yuansheng and he Yuanliang are brothers. Comparatively speaking, there are too few handles that the Xu family can grasp. Even he Yan's death was not started by him. If the east window incident happened, Xu Zhiheng could completely withdraw.

Maybe it is this that makes he Rufei feel uneasy, so he will try every possible means to seize the handle of Heyan in the Xu family. In this way, as long as he can prove that he also knew that he Yan and he Rufei exchanged identities, the truth will come out one day, and the Xu family will not be able to run away.

He Rufei was afraid, so the more he was at this time, the more he wanted to pull the Xu family into the water.

Xu Zhiheng's face was heavy.

Even though he knew this from the beginning, he also understood that he family and Xu family were people on the same boat. But when it happens under the nose, I still feel unhappy. Once upon a time when things were safe, I naturally hoped that you and I would be good and we could enjoy ronghua together. But once something happened He Rufei's practice is not moral enough.

Since he is not so excessive, then he does not have to say anything. Speaking of it, just as Fuwang wandered around Heyan's house but found nothing. If something really happened, as long as there was no evidence, Xu Zhiheng could still protect himself.

……

At night, he Yan was tossing and turning on the collapse and couldn't sleep.

She knew that he Rufei was not general Feihong and had many flaws, but the world should pay attention to evidence. You can't tell the truth by your own words. And the truth sounds so bizarre.

There is no living witness in Fuyue army. Mother Qin is not enough. If she wants to grasp the grip of he Rufei, she must start with the first World War of Huayuan. In the first World War of Huayuan, there must be a hidden relationship between he Rufei and the uto people.He Rufei is cautious and careful. If he wants to find evidence of his treason with the enemy, he may have to go to his house.

Hefu

Heyan sat up from the collapse and leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the tent. His thoughts were gradually far away.

In fact, she is not afraid to re-enter the he family. In that "he family", she is fed up with the use and coldness, and will not have any old love again when she goes back to the house.

However, she did not know how to face the thought of seeing Mrs. he Er again.
