Chapter 2: Glacier (3)

When he came to Zhou's mansion again, his family immediately invited him into the inner hall when they saw that Di Renjie was coming. Zhou Rong hurriedly came to greet him, and his expression was much more relaxed than in the morning. Di Renjie knew that Zhou Liangkun's condition must have improved a lot and his pace became much easier.

When he arrived at the bedroom, Zhou Liangkun leaned against the couch. Zhou Jingyuan sat beside him, holding a bowl of ginseng soup. Seeing Di Renjie walking into the room, Zhou Jingyuan quickly handed the bowl of soup to the maid beside him, stood up, bowed to Di Renjie slowly, and said, "Jingyuan has met Lord Di." Before Di Renjie could speak, Zhou Liangkun on the couch was called "Gei Lao", and was about to get up. Di Renjie hurriedly held him down and sat next to the couch.

After carefully observing Zhou Liangkun, Di Renjie found that his complexion had improved a lot, his face seemed a little weak at most, but his eyes were flashing, and he seemed to have an indescribable worry and fear. Di Renjie smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, are you getting better?" Zhou Liangkun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master Di, I'm much better, much better..." Before he finished his sentence, he choked up.

Di Renjie patted his hand and comforted him, "Mr. Zhou, don't worry too much, your health is important." Zhou Liangkun nodded and said, "I have heard from my little girl that the Crown Prince ordered Di Ge to act on all matters of the New Year celebration of Honglu Temple. This is a lot of trouble, but Liangkun cannot afford to help, but Liangkun is really ashamed." Di Renjie smiled and shook his head, "You and I are both officials in the court, and have been busy with their own affairs for many years, but I didn't expect that this time I would have such an opportunity to cooperate. Things in the world have always been dependent on each other for good and good fortune. Lord Zhou still wants to be more open. Our cabinet is an amateur in the concierge and foreign affairs, and only plans to barely handle the New Year celebration. When the New Year's Day and the New Year's Day, Honglu Temple will still be handed over to Master Zhou."

Zhou Liangkun even claimed that yes, and Di Renjie briefly described the situation at Honglu Temple in the afternoon, and both of them felt much more at ease. After almost the same talk, Zhou Jingyuan came over with a bowl of lotus seed soup and whispered: "Mr. Di, you have been talking for so long, you are tired. Drink a bowl of lotus seed soup and rest for a while. This was cooked for you by Jingyuan." Di Renjie was stunned, and saw that the daughter in front of him had already wiped out the mess and haggardness of the morning.

The delicate goose egg had red lips on her face, her a pair of lively almond eyes shining brightly, her purple brocade dress was embroidered with light pink lotus flowers, and she was wearing a lotus-colored veil. She was dressed not like a home furnishing, but she seemed to be going to some important ceremony. Di Renjie felt a little surprised, but there was no expression on his face. He just joked: "Jingyuan, I think you are not afraid of me being tired, but afraid that I will drag your father down."

Zhou Jingyuan's bright eyes flashed, and she said in a slight silly manner: "Mr. Di, Jingyuan sees that you are much older than my father. If you are tired, you should be tired first." Zhou Liangkun hurriedly said: "Jingyuan! Why is it so big or small?" Di Renjie smiled and said: "Hey, what Jingyuan said is the truth. Well, I will take a break and taste the lotus seed soup cooked by Miss Zhou." He took the lotus seed soup, took a few sips, and praised: "It tastes very good." Then Zhou Liangkun sighed: "Oh, Liangkun is destined to be childless. He has only such a daughter over forty years old. He loves like a pearl in his hand. He spoils a little more on weekdays, which makes you laugh at Master Di."

Di Renjie looked at Zhou Jingyuan and nodded, "This morning, I saw Miss Jingyuan not panic when she encountered problems, and handled them properly, but she had the temperament of a hero among girls." Zhou Jingyuan's face turned slightly red and looked bright as a flower when she heard Di Renjie praise her. Zhou Liangkun looked at her daughter, her eyes were unconsciously full of kindness, and the original fear was swept away. Di Renjie watched coldly, and suddenly felt a sense of feeling, both bitter and astringent, and was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Liangkun noticed that Di Renjie's expression was strange and asked, "Mr. Di, Liangkun heard from his little girl that there were two other adults who came together this morning. I wonder if it is?" "Oh. One is the new Dali Temple Minister Zeng Tai, and the other is Chen Huai, the General Secretary of the Qianniu Guard. My Chief Guard." Zhou Liangkun's expression suddenly became confused again, and he asked, "Dali Temple? Dali Temple? Come and investigate Master Liu's case so soon?" Di Renjie said, "Not that. Zeng Tai is a student of this cabinet. He happened to meet him, so let's take a look together. After all, Lord Liu's case is a major case, and the left and right still have to be tried by Dali Temple." "So that's it."

Zhou Jingyuan suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Zeng is very inconsiderate and only cares about official affairs, regardless of life or death." Zhou Liangkun shouted, "Jingyuan! There are getting more and more rules! Let's talk about serious matters here, you go out first." Zhou Jingyuan stood up and left angrily. Di Renjie looked at her back and felt funny in his heart: It was indeed a sharp daughter, but there was her reason. Retracting her thoughts, Di Renjie asked Zhou Liangkun seriously: "Mr. Zhou, what happened last night?"

Zhou Liangkun sighed: "Old Ge. Speaking of which, it was like a nightmare." His eyes showed deep fear, and he repeated what happened last night in a trembling voice. At the end, he murmured: "When I pushed Lord Liu's body away and ran forward, I only heard a sound following closely behind me, and it seemed that someone was calling "Life and Death Book" and "Life and Death Book" over and over again. I just thought it was a disaster. When I saw the light in front of me, I fainted."

"Life and Death Book?" Di Renjie frowned and pondered: "Master Zhou, what do you see mean by this 'life and death book'?" Zhou Liangkun was immediately frightened and said in horror: "Master Di Ge, that is the book that the Yin Si seeks life! If the life of ordinary people is about to end or have committed some damn crimes, if they are accused of Yin Si in front of Yan Luo, the Yin Si will send Heibai Wuchang to fight the life. This is the separation of Yin and Yang!" Di Renjie became more and more impatient as he heard it, and said sternly: "Master Zhou! As a court official, you believe in such a ridiculous statement!"

Zhou Liangkun sneered and said bitterly: "Old Master Di, Liangkun didn't believe this at first. But after experiencing what happened last night, he had to believe it!" Di Renjie thought and said: "So, Lord Zhou did not see clearly how Lord Liu died?" "The light was dim at that time and I couldn't see clearly anything."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "How many years have Master Zhou worked with Lord Liu? How has Lord Liu always performed?" "Liang Kun and Yifei worked with Yifei for three or four years, and have always cooperated happily and never had any rifts. Lord Liu Yifei understands the language of several barbarians and is very capable of doing things. He is a rare talent in Honglu Temple." "Have you ever made any mistakes?" "Never made any mistakes." "Hmm." Di Renjie heard the more leaked sounds from outside, and then said, "It's been three times before I knew it. This cabinet will not prevent Lord Zhou from resting, otherwise Miss Jingyuan will blame me again." Zhou Liangkun hurriedly said, "Where? Liang Kun is weak and can't send him to Master Di." "No need."

After walking out of Zhou Liangkun's bedroom, Zhou Jingyuan was still waiting in the outer room. Seeing that Di Renjie was leaving, he personally took him to the outside of the inner hall. Di Renjie said, "Jingyuan will send it here, I will go out by myself." Zhou Jingyuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Di, will you come next time?" "Oh? You should come again."

Zhou Jingyuan stood in the corridor and watched Di Renjie leave. Her bright eyes reflected the lights in the corridor, flashing brightly, as if she was expecting, curious and shy. She was such a beautiful and charming girl.
