沈應一年前見過古彥濤。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvuvjHUxDF
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdolfXb0tUc
彼時正值他換防經過，順路到端州拜訪古大人。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlSKcTaSmO
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs15dlzKdwF
古大人是父親故交，當時一麵，是席上見的小公子。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuclQ4nftQV
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPtjx3ePu8
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1dhiabLVU
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZydDdnbEpr
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PsWkjRYBx
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzirDnlC8iL
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…”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOKDy15Z9O
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tjAWPf1KP
如今小小人兒，臉上滿是堅毅，不見絲毫驕縱。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyH2ammcMG
古大人九泉之下也能瞑目了。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUFU22e2p1
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zLeC3RCy
“你可還記得我第一次見你，是在何處？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49roq3f4iX
古彥濤臉色泛紅，小聲道，“記得，祖母讓仆役給我當馬騎…”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zs8SQeNtJ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCEz2XZjQo
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHBDddAHdr
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8FsCkIl8d
“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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGmJyXrvD2
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzMs65LZNJ
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmG9FZZfKQ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SgYUcOYdh
“你是好孩子，古大人會為你感到驕傲。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNI6LkwCxK
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN43yKhEzz
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ4i4CZbvD
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiT6yfhBv0
“沈哥哥定會抓住凶手，以告慰古大人在天之靈。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRT0zXRZPh
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpAH78N9Nk
“你方才言陸姑娘不是凶手，那你可知她來曆？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxBsakue3W
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcoD9zK5QK
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrfHHs4Bhb
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pMlXbf8GH
“是了，言老漢說古大人聘她教你讀書。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4SucSGVXj
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuzRu0IpzA
“旁的我就不知了。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvb7qCSaPj
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5jMvdOe0K
“無妨，若想起什麼來，便讓人找我。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaau5K59kpO
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IRwxwhLp4
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V3rhBOJfH
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNHrvhCDX7
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdemSBiwlV
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXE1GjAMZc
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBnsshTXc
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5N8WtWObO
跟蹤言老漢等人多日的的軍士也回報，三人沒有其他交集。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmhGVnhrz0
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidHtIA0MVq
“按現下眾人證詞，這凶手莫不是太閑了？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M7Amzgq89
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN2GTmth9Q
連旗推開案上文書，連看了一天，他眼前發黑實在受不住。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnR7XCUbIJ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3WeGnQX8r
嚴懷淵輕揉眉心，看向窗邊。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90wR3rAWK4
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlqTMkAk95
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS7nFvHfAY
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBgmrpVFZV
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…”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ynZu1rBm
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjUMkky52W
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboMN3M7cX2
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8CubBAFjX
以至未能成事。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofLPd6Jf8S
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3f6Vnl4od
“可殺他們兩人又是為了什麼…”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4zhWFVs7h
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRNJNnFF9s
“…可惜蕭文書還未醒，我倒是好奇他為何半夜去見古大人。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZrIi7gtVD
“這幾日你去蕭府，他情況如何？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzXnAXkwyY
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZBsP7z4Fn
嚴懷淵搖頭，“傷在脖子上，他若醒來能不能說話都成問題。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2gayHGgLV
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeNSCPn6zf
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？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U9t6aQZVe
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGigoirYWr
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！”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28x4Q50dlS
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0LEb5WPVX
“甚好，我隨後修書一封。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr9xUDQyPt
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzebqErSgZ
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jlsSAETtC
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgEbecqdBd
先生妙手仁心，料想不會推辭。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyT7c8XFlI
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gw1tIYU4M
“知早，這就是那女子報路引損毀的文書？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF904UrM0uY
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINRk3YTLBe
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGDKp3yzmM
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs60YTwT75m
“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…”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw2AYd9y3t
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54h4GnQtvj
“跟你說簡直對牛彈琴，不說也罷。”嚴懷淵嫌棄揮手。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr3u9sCYBc
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrJacd0LIh
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？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXuG5jNhLM
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchGN1pW3uF
紙上所書極妙，那女子的確有一手好字。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYchkkZm8J
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6qB4CAz5x
沈應聞言不語，左手輕輕摩挲腰間錦袋。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2CyfWzwta
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIC1b3cyXI
他眉眼散了幾分冷意，“兩人字跡不同，不能比較。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj0vSYmYu7
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EEK3Dwssc
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…40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvZgDtVS2v
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ994egBgYgL
揣摩那人是在何種心境下寫的此信。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMXuWWoNY
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrEMyY5PRL
他起初看到這一紙公文時也曾疑過。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30vwjJSCwU
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOwS6obsOY
但到底不同。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY67nwKzcHw
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpNUE38uyr
“你們說古大人把公文跟書放一起，有何用意？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nP65phD88
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6e3muERoJ
“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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6jH6uJLFS
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkHnk3EG0m
話到一半，沈應突然想起，“這幾日可看見過古彥濤？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmzHnBV01a
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEz3eMtObY
連旗揮手不以為意，“小孩子貪玩，忙著做小玩意。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonGOjaNzdh
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS6xeTzrbr
難道沒過幾日就故態複萌？沈應搖頭歎息，“我去看看。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ffSNybtlb
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡughQuPHdwA
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51OtZxMcvX
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MirQDznS0
從後一瞧，在做紙鳶。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz98usf7mV
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnikUQNXURb
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9ser4LSlk
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkL260dVLY
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDU8r35df9
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN0ymbgoCv
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…”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc6R5jOrre
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPJcNFU0dw
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？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvkc6dbZ5B
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3LTpKuVez
“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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMqkwNEmJ7
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq99wMlV2Bw
沈應拿起竹片細看，“你之前說過她要教你…”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3fvR09Lc7
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfLbeFLyDf
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0ggKMPE2j
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI5CkiKvRr
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zZwHta1Zh
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6fNsmNWrI
“她道做人當像做紙鳶，中線立正，持心正直，才能長久。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3xR9fM87
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvYHdgdvNM
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiIxFyT1jk
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkyZ0Mx0MM
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…”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp33R1CIoF1
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEnA7aQJuu
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVY4PcXkpp
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk5RIuU3My
“且不管他人，你自己作何想？”沈應循循善誘。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYB1fjzIZi
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmVeu89Prk
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqzkjDcqdJ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34wRlNFWgh
沈應便笑，清絕之意盡散，笑意如暖陽初升。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb9Rjn7nb4
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gDoe1zrNh
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？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCz5IH0nPM
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AYipvWSfq
“那倒沒有，陸姐姐說她不善棋藝，祖父硬要她手談一局。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT19gYTgjv
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQWMOC3l1J
原來她不善棋，這倒是意料之外，沈應道，“我猜猜，古大人贏了？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8dwooYcbc
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzakHSL3U5w
“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！”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQftCcE6alI
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2uqT6o6ku
“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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n3kAaFfHd
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35AR6jjNSk
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。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuYLnG1Fxy
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaymcPb4qy
沈應一時沒反應過來再問了一遍，“你方才說《端州誌》？”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizgNoz8tRe
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uaq1Wc4di
他皺眉苦惱地想了想，“陸姐姐說的，應該是這個書名。”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4rFqxY0Pa
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq7ZDiJCaK
沈應摸了摸袖子裏的書，心中思緒如麻，眸底寒色翻滾。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPdHF9sDR9
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaG1qSN5pa
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…40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGoSUFI52z
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeI59QgtN3
而他從書房的暗格裏找到了兩樣東西。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtIVT3yEWn
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7Qcggpow
一紙報路引損毀的公文，一本《端州誌》。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIDFCnpyL7
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfhFeqIbyG
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGH3jGlQO
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36oCWs6Ojw
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？40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SVLvM9nTG
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhSpOfhtUv
凶手在尋的，難道就是這兩樣？40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2qt1kj1DB
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf22RvRmbU
他思緒翻湧，不曾注意，不慎碰跌了古彥濤放小刀的盒子。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUnh6YEJym
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mgJZSultO
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmniCOc4Ut
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEqWv7Qdf8
盒子裏的軟布下，隱隱露了一角白色。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOYslKa9Rf
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPzgbBQk0f
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PkyVkPBrk
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgSCpTOiN9
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuPyjygbgK
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRzu87rakx
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！”40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Awyaxb8Hc
