沈應一年前見過古彥濤。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaEQ4q5eqN
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf3y7KtdGr
彼時正值他換防經過，順路到端州拜訪古大人。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzupIaau47O
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa5s1XJGxb
古大人是父親故交，當時一麵，是席上見的小公子。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvGyh8WiLl
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx13Zt8EGk
古大人簡樸，桌上菜色已算豐盛，他百般嫌棄不好吃。祖母抱著他哄道，“回頭讓小廚房另做你愛吃的。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPzWBBCOm8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb6JGrNX1m
他勉強吃了兩口道要學沈應騎馬，祖母溺愛召來府中仆役馱著他滿園走，他摘了一根柳條作馬鞭。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKzvdgSzOt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuQPurrvQ5
古大人搖頭，多次向他表露擔憂之意，“老妻溺愛，我有心教他卻不能同心用力…我百年之後，此子不知要鬧成什麼樣子…”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx3fpsGljC
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx66WceSQY
如今小小人兒，臉上滿是堅毅，不見絲毫驕縱。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpAGmHLGUC
古大人九泉之下也能瞑目了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU0sdWaL76
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1s4VAdQpz
“你可還記得我第一次見你，是在何處？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDCr67ULRF
古彥濤臉色泛紅，小聲道，“記得，祖母讓仆役給我當馬騎…”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1F8mStbLZ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVhbp15Xd8
他垂頭臉上有慚愧之意，沈應摸摸他的頭，溫聲道，“沈哥哥提起不是要笑話你。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjwBp7vMYr
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCHe1hsTTf
“世道艱難，不能像當日一樣件件如意。其中艱難你已親曆，不需我細說，古大人之教誨要謹記在心，寬裕時當思艱苦，困境中不忘初心。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiFTlcNY6A
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJHmATxom0
古彥濤正色，他年紀尚小，雖然還有些懵懵懂懂，卻與當日的古小公子天差地別了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG92v2joj0r
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYek11EhyrZ
“你是好孩子，古大人會為你感到驕傲。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6gwJMlrLy
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb25XIOqIy
提起古大人，他眼眶又紅了，“隻恨我年紀小，不能親手抓住凶手，為祖父報仇。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SQNoD6D9A
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19yDUqaTg4
“沈哥哥定會抓住凶手，以告慰古大人在天之靈。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMkgIXREs3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXvLNpZsgs
“你方才言陸姑娘不是凶手，那你可知她來曆？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3WqIaei15
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Hcp07oSs
古彥濤愁眉苦臉，“我那時覺得她不配教我，沒有細問，隻知道她四書五經皆熟，善作畫。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85YZNO8WcW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr8XG4qR2j
“是了，言老漢說古大人聘她教你讀書。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWkltPKaFO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0po3sZuQs
“旁的我就不知了。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1TIp6ypFD
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8XDw0hqkJ
“無妨，若想起什麼來，便讓人找我。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHQCWjYUH8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplDUZOXCQ6
今日收獲頗豐，沈應不再留他，古彥濤自己跳下椅子，去尋祖母。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI4aFvyFAB
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcayDkjWb85
心肝寶貝失而複得，古家祖母又是燒香又是拜佛，備了厚禮要謝宋青之和神武軍，小公子一回府裏稍有了一絲喜氣。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEQ42ExCu7
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhrW53q86J
沈應與連旗等人商議，按線索，兩人認為宋青之所言可信，斥候一眾也單獨盤查過，與他所言差不了多少，其中沒有疑點。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr13vWidmr8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm3UYlQyva
跟蹤言老漢等人多日的的軍士也回報，三人沒有其他交集。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIZvUDhTfW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyDfegKJI3
“按現下眾人證詞，這凶手莫不是太閑了？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9KQ7gYl2b
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Vqii0mkt
連旗推開案上文書，連看了一天，他眼前發黑實在受不住。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ni1c76O6
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFNNXJ02Bg
嚴懷淵輕揉眉心，看向窗邊。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYqiO1JNfK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2NuaGQdwx
沈應正借外麵日光詳看手中證詞，“…這幾日我一直在想，殺古大人和門口兩人的凶手，會不會是兩個人。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsHdrW1LU0
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDGnW7BfDj
連旗和嚴懷淵沒想到他琢磨這個，直起身豎起耳朵細聽，“如果不是同一人，也就是說宋青之敲門後，屋內凶手滅了燈早已離去…”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3pLMYQeQG
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0l32ga4MV
而是躲在某處另一個凶手，殺了伴讀和蕭文書，或許凶手本想取兩人性命，卻不想宋青之一行沒有走遠。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQexP69DzRT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ncZJLi6g
以至未能成事。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR56VSEacSs
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrC31MbTaM
“可殺他們兩人又是為了什麼…”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoTlz6t4sz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm7lqgK75c
“…可惜蕭文書還未醒，我倒是好奇他為何半夜去見古大人。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCtyvYSHgA
“這幾日你去蕭府，他情況如何？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq49bzLPKFJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M1o5jcm0j
嚴懷淵搖頭，“傷在脖子上，他若醒來能不能說話都成問題。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ031bJKb7JR
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mFg7v4DOT
連旗猛然想起一事，跳起來道，“不若我們寫信去書院尋白鹿先生？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrrYj70YRE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBWmbqygro
與其在這裏苦惱，還不如請白衣聖手，嚴懷淵大喜，“小連子說得對！先生心係家國，她能出手蕭大人也能早日康複！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoSZI1MbyQ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PGmCHNLoH
“甚好，我隨後修書一封。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC5GhQrERp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLZB3988Df
沈應眉間稍緩，這幾日當真忙昏頭了，竟不記得可以尋白鹿先生相助。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa14VMiJ5ho
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQgw0c62ea
先生妙手仁心，料想不會推辭。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyKasHrdXT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lAK5nG4Yx
“知早，這就是那女子報路引損毀的文書？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHaaQiw7mS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBahHQSnHl
案上書文，有一封字跡不同，嚴懷淵撫掌讚歎不已，“撇開嫌疑不說，她一手字就與旁人不同。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTqBA1unjT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG64yaP8YV
“我怎麼沒看出來？”連旗從他手上一把抽走，“都是一橫一豎，哪裏不同…”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bslmqMS31
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQdmalhisQ
“跟你說簡直對牛彈琴，不說也罷。”嚴懷淵嫌棄揮手。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7nidYq3QO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2TqaSdDES
連旗也不惱，笑嘻嘻地，“要說字的話，你該問知早，他有一封寶貝得緊的書信，字才叫妙！知早你說兩人的字，誰更好？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGLHNDGrko
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCPIb4FkoQ
紙上所書極妙，那女子的確有一手好字。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzMgI4gcmH
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuTDbeeadK
沈應聞言不語，左手輕輕摩挲腰間錦袋。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZZ4JwJ9br
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe7TpTsbq2
他眉眼散了幾分冷意，“兩人字跡不同，不能比較。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QioZr7IAV
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TGY0W8F9g
那封信多少個輾轉反側難以入睡的夜裏，他曾拿出來在燈下細看…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR2rU7zO6p
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LphWfmrtI
揣摩那人是在何種心境下寫的此信。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0LIC1WMl4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6RkR4jSV7
他起初看到這一紙公文時也曾疑過。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n60HsfQzc
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdJAJIzf8E
但到底不同。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCy0gzGABa
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUDXb8ICXc
“你們說古大人把公文跟書放一起，有何用意？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaicT8NAGfP
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi57zeBDUi
“公文直指此女，書指何意卻不知了，這幾日我還未曾參詳透徹。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyNUIUI149
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJEsJrzrx4
話到一半，沈應突然想起，“這幾日可看見過古彥濤？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRKOzSm6Pj
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmDKREBXu5
連旗揮手不以為意，“小孩子貪玩，忙著做小玩意。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kXYcvVIVU
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9615GXXbJ
難道沒過幾日就故態複萌？沈應搖頭歎息，“我去看看。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wenc3UYmx
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2tKUQ0P1r
府中仆役報小公子在院子裏，沈應穿過庭院，樹蔭下，小小人兒不知在搗鼓什麼，他專心致誌，腳邊堆著不少竹條，沈應走近也不曾發覺。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFSfVgMm7S
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3MSgAdjQj
從後一瞧，在做紙鳶。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunhnES60Go
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAzdHcUzcD
紙鳶須得將竹條片成竹片，用細線綁成骨架，再糊上宣紙，古彥濤心無旁騖，鼻尖冒汗小臉紅撲撲的，手中動作熟練顯然不是初次。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mmul93AG5
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv6gaIDKJX
沈應靜默，從後看他削出粗細均勻的竹片，待他放下小刀才道，“外頭曬，進屋吧。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer4UOsQUg2
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vhg3NKEmt
他聞得是沈應音色，綻開笑臉，末了又將竹片往後一藏，“沈哥哥…我…”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjkKx1iFg6
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXX4ZExlCi
沈應隻當沒看見他窘迫，示意他坐，“竹片削得不錯，不是第一次做紙鳶？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lH4F811y5
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BMbthCQ8S
“是初學，不過陸姐姐說之前削的竹片不能用，我重削好幾回了。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbVYpzkD4T
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bjuuGeEyh
沈應拿起竹片細看，“你之前說過她要教你…”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkPwESLzuZ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuJ2YfykLJ
古彥濤拿起細線綁骨架，“是，前幾回做得不好，骨架一邊大一邊小。勉強飛上去了也不長久。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Sbb0EYIj
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao3KSIxVXq
他小手靈巧係線，指著紙鳶對沈應道，“陸姐姐說飛不起來是因中線不正，一邊大一邊小便不能維持紙鳶平衡。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq79GDlCswu
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtztRN877Xr
“她道做人當像做紙鳶，中線立正，持心正直，才能長久。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1wP0ZPrAg
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbzHyvuiPs
她對古彥濤，分明是用了心的，此女…實在捉摸不透，沈應靜默了一瞬，“是，她說得對。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJCwyKvHWb
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QcY85vI9k
古彥濤係完骨架，猶豫道，“陸姐姐不似其他夫子，對我耐性極好，可府裏的人都道她是殺害祖父的凶手，我…我…是不是不該信她…”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5iL0hYlix
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY5jnEa2no
他自歸來成長許多，可還是年紀不大的孩子，難免感到彷徨…猶豫自己是否信錯了人。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiMAmECQ4C
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUqJ46v5Ef
“且不管他人，你自己作何想？”沈應循循善誘。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7yiG4hNA1
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeDX7UXb1I
他猶豫了幾息，最終看著紙鳶堅定道，“她教我持心要正，祖父下棋那天也說她是良師，我還是覺得她是好人。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqjWZKBPhT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMqrik89tT
沈應便笑，清絕之意盡散，笑意如暖陽初升。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi3n39Wewa
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vcdXUMDjM
古彥濤繼續糊紙鳶，沈應順手拿起小刀，刀柄磨得光滑，是舊物，他一邊把玩隨口道，“古大人經常與她下棋？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vo6CT6y84
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem8w45ClYN
“那倒沒有，陸姐姐說她不善棋藝，祖父硬要她手談一局。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtC5NVyvF8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFfUPY0zd2
原來她不善棋，這倒是意料之外，沈應道，“我猜猜，古大人贏了？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmnw0q5wZ1
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEKf9MzfeO
“是！”說起下棋他眉飛色舞道，“祖父說她棋藝原也不差，他們一來一回說了許久，聽得我都困啦！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wk23DTqnd
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNivwpGjKJ9
“陸姐姐說…什麼《端州誌》裏寫了端陽三景，祖父便約她日後來看蓮池。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqAqnzHqwD
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsqMlOQY6G
古彥濤指了一個方位，“刺史府的蓮花長得可好了！我帶你去看。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv7M83FhCS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLI7uPV5q
沈應一時沒反應過來再問了一遍，“你方才說《端州誌》？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YCniN0SJE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDDxLE1SqP
他皺眉苦惱地想了想，“陸姐姐說的，應該是這個書名。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxcGqm63iP
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lPsrCCMe0
沈應摸了摸袖子裏的書，心中思緒如麻，眸底寒色翻滾。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxRjrAZjqX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCRy4kTPiT
懷淵搜查書房，從言老漢那裏得知，早前古大人似在翻找什麼…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW8UTnWal3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAVlkVZz4s
而他從書房的暗格裏找到了兩樣東西。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Cdtel07K
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj6FYIO1W0
一紙報路引損毀的公文，一本《端州誌》。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBUGs7kcRj
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3wsvJKLiv
本以為公文與姓陸的女子有關，如今看來連《端州誌》也是她先提起。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXZaE06Buf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti8h1RixqT
能讓古大人找到後鄭重放在暗格裏的，這兩樣東西到底藏了什麼秘密？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkVVXi0wSS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnkTVZdJsh
凶手在尋的，難道就是這兩樣？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPud5hImCm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYQqy4Xe4r
他思緒翻湧，不曾注意，不慎碰跌了古彥濤放小刀的盒子。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNezEABB1L
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN5Ws4WwCb
盒子為木頭所製，光滑無比，裏麵鋪了一層軟布，想來主人極為愛惜，沈應彎腰來拾，手卻一頓。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRrxgHfVKO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4xRaDMdCz
盒子裏的軟布下，隱隱露了一角白色。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtCyorndmh
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvTstJ7YAv
他拾起細看，以小刀沿著縫線輕割，在古彥濤的注視下，從軟布下慢慢取出一紙。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfGWwJwxMO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3AQPDPKQN
木盒跟著他好些日子，古彥濤沒想到裏麵還藏著其他東西，放下紙鳶湊到沈應跟前，滿眼好奇。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXo4IahFb9
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8hJDITlHG
看得內容一大一小俱是一愣，他側頭指著那紙驚道，“這…這不是祖父寫給陸姐姐的關書嗎？怎會在此！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVjgVeTW3G
