京城。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoI1bGXyK8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Dt7WgUYw
辛菲才走到城門口，便覺得不對勁…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrcEm5WAuB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS9rs6fJbL
城門依舊人來人往，可那些百姓的氣色，卻與她數月前所見截然不同。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpte3ROuuMU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Np3GXhTB
她翻身下馬，牽著踏雪慢慢入城，越往裡走，那股異樣感便越重。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcX7tCnRxz
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr0rjuRsYJ
街邊不少人面色發青、眼下凹陷，有些甚至瘦得只剩一把骨頭…偏偏所有人的目光，都死死盯著吃食。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU2VZexDmw
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnMm0v18im
她看見一個男人坐在麵攤前，腳邊已經堆了好幾個空碗，卻還在狼吞虎嚥，像怎麼也吃不飽；也看見幾名乞丐為了一塊發硬的饅頭扭打成一團。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3PnscaY1U
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrG8M24ACp
乞丐搶食，本不稀奇，可那眼神不對，那不是尋常飢餓，而是像餓狼盯著血肉時，眼底泛出的兇光。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yoVMnrmpW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR8hTODXR0
整座京城，都像被什麼東西慢慢掏空了精氣神，不再是幾個月前那般繁華鼎盛、車水馬龍，而是隱隱透著一股蕭瑟，甚至，帶著一種狼性…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuqsGlGmzq
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfWJs8Wt41
那種對食物虎視眈眈的貪婪感，根本不像一座天子腳下的皇城該有的模樣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvGzvKTlEG
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Js2oqPUk3
她微微皺眉，風一吹過，空氣裡還夾著一絲若有若無的腐臭味。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7sxwForfh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY1iwX8yvn
辛菲腳步一頓。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHouT7vWP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtid3HkEaHg
這味道……她似乎在哪裡聞過。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXORB05a1r
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ251edeEjZw
腦海裡像有什麼念頭一閃而過，偏偏抓不住，只剩下一絲模糊的不安，盤旋不去。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuW6HjMCo7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBg29S0vLl
———47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpwhtmHeMo
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rLaZwr0Xl
辛菲依舊與陸景珩約在九華樓雅座。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iR5qjgJZA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhyY3lfhIH
只是這次一推門，她便怔了一下——陸景珩本就偏清瘦，如今不過數月未見，人竟又消減了一圈，眉宇間帶著掩不住的倦色。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD5gQCxyzx
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTJjhI3ed0
更讓她意外的是，平日總是慢條斯理喝茶談事的人，此刻桌前竟擺了數個空盤，而他手中的筷子，還未放下，像是剛吃完一輪，又繼續再吃。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm7PK0zH86
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRXUK4YFU0
陸景珩抬眼，看見辛菲進門，動作明顯頓了一下，筷子停在半空。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmdd03CWvE
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ak7VNKVa4
下一刻，他像是有些不自在似的，輕咳一聲，默默把筷子放下，耳根竟罕見地泛起薄紅。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT28SsEskc7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVAyXbjoT8
「辛姑娘，坐吧。」他低聲道，「讓你見笑了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSo10msmIo
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZPHEpnF5r
辛菲原本還覺得他這模樣有些難得，甚至有點好笑，可再細看他蒼白的臉色，神情便漸漸正了起來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe4siFjJEd
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzQVZENybF
「陸大人……」她欲言又止。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkz3uSR709
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxclDMRpsC
陸景珩卻淡淡一笑，「看起來氣色很差，是吧？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNaWk60CFD
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRuWPf07TB
「您這是怎麼了？」辛菲皺眉，「病了？而且……您看起來，像是很久沒吃飽過。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlIdCConuL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjElLIqWlN
陸景珩沉默片刻，才低聲道：「我的確病了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj7W1jnDf0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaBwmgwMKI
「不知從何時開始，總是餓…明明已吃下許多東西，腹中卻仍像空的一樣，看了不少大夫，連御醫都束手無策。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJedC6UB314
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwQKwmljFL
辛菲心中微沉，連陸景珩這樣克己自持的人，都能失態至此，那外頭那些百姓的模樣，便不奇怪了。難怪她一路進城，滿街都是那種野獸般的眼神。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW29Fc0qrKS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsuOgyZm0w
陸景珩又道：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijh1o6F09M
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVSKWPg4Lt
「不只是我。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIU8eYQib5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94K1HqCe0q
「九華樓已有數名夥計廚子病倒，根本無法正常做事，我正打算過兩日，先讓九華樓歇業。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkArr2bKizd
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpkz8Fbevr
辛菲微微點頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkmjYSiIl4
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLoN9uKcaR
若人人都處於這種飢餓失控的狀態，別說做事，恐怕連神智都難以保持清醒。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbuvPmbvlq
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6fOZc4X72
「辛姑娘來時，應當已看見京城如今的情況了吧？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90N6ZP9RfP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANWLVV68Fn
「是。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUYinGTomz
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2xFghSPS5
陸景珩揉了揉眉心。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT398wEILaM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSqwF47muo
「這一兩個月，京中越來越多人出現相同症狀。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDX9grrHq9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm5aTCXUuN
「有人只是日漸消瘦，有人卻像永遠吃不飽一般，甚至……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCevzf80lR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvgTclaEBu
他停頓一下。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhKolzo4MZ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpQ3Ah0FVl
「宮裡也是如此。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xnkx7mj5U
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOnAgzFMCW
辛菲神色一凜。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrxtLQ8Ood
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYEbCRJPRe
「宮裡？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TaJ3SKhKg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug8ibHHV1E
陸景珩低聲道：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKtEKL7fFM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8hZaW864G
「幾名宮女與太監已瘦得不成人形，卻依舊食量驚人。甚至連聖上與幾位娘娘，也開始出現相同症狀。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qmCtNzPTl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRRicS2IjP
「御醫院如今焦頭爛額，可偏偏連不少御醫自己，也病了…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYfqqJleRE
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQosnF8uJFd
雅間一時安靜下來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe72wGYjbOT
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uR6ERQdN8
半晌，陸景珩才壓低聲音：「如今民間已開始流傳，說這是餓死鬼附身。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4TqQY5WUB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiqrgxcPbh
辛菲眉頭皺起：「荒唐。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsW8uyEHwU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNMjs388By
「我也覺得荒唐。」陸景珩苦笑，「可更麻煩的是，有人開始說此災乃天降示警。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cszu42Ggt
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiWzdCbpUs
他聲音更低了些：「說……是聖上失德，才招來災禍。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqzOmUHj8J
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ5hEhrrtw
辛菲心頭微震。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCo1LHGnVY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrDPDRWMqS
她自然明白，在這個時代，「天子」二字代表什麼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP0PwEMVP0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPL4xRo7cS
天災、疫病、饑荒…在百姓眼裡，往往都與「天人感應」脫不了關係。從前她只在歷史書裡看過這些詞，可如今身在局中，才真正感受到那種山雨欲來風滿樓的壓迫感。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6vzFDGkfC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQVsp5q4TE
「若流言繼續傳下去……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrnWDGa7ou
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD6D8LVA1u
陸景珩眼底沉沉：「動搖的，便不只是民心了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwEZu3dKt5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyPfBkpNKn
辛菲沉默片刻，忽然抬頭：「陸大人既特地寫信讓我來京城，想必不是只為告知我此事。」又說：「您若覺得有我能幫得上的地方，不妨直說，只要我做得到，定會盡力。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuX8tgSeOW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWcepHvM2B
陸景珩心口像被什麼輕輕撞了一下。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq9CAxNCJJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1spcevfy2e
他早知辛菲聰明，卻還是會在這人人自危的時候，因她一句話而感到安心。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiQaTGqLtw
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb5ToOcHxv
「聖上已命太醫院徹查病因，戶部也被調動了起來…」陸景珩又道：「百姓一旦病倒，無法做工，賦稅便得延緩、蠲免，否則只會逼出更大的亂子。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw4T2waDac
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0BkSaeoVg
辛菲點頭：「朝廷至少沒有棄百姓於不顧。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO45sZucY6
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQK3iYsH0u
「況且……這種情況如今只出現在京城，可若再放任下去——」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDuarLPGX9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sPwy4c0G5
陸景珩神色沉了下來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6z7rq131j
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3UMyfusju
「到時受害的，就不只京城了。」辛菲幾乎瞬間便明白了他的意思：「 覆巢之下，焉有完卵。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgeEwJ0WPP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0k3A92tUF
陸景珩看著她，終於開口：「所以，我想請辛姑娘幫忙。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Keig4qTi2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ193mvaJjR0
他沉默了片刻，語氣難得凝重：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9sA17znjl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFE1kGpdSS
「我這些日子翻查了戶部名冊，又讓人暗中追查病者行蹤。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJKEd5D1YH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4sdbUwWlI
「最後發現，所有重症之人，都曾去過同一處山谷，又或者……接觸過從那山谷回來的人。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BJRDuy2Gb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy86t40oUT9
「我懷疑，病源就在那裡，辛姑娘可願意……替我們入山調查？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgUrKv2cfQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenllE7bJ1p
辛菲幾乎沒有猶豫。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGX2SuVQnU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VaDHYgsFy
她拱手道：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RDAhpnQBS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74cdCZHgZU
「陸大人於大榮村有恩，此事，辛菲義不容辭。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHXg5ANAVp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxKGGPOyEV
「好！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtNBCJSSB2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6zc9vY4Lx
陸景珩難得朗聲笑了出來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsLpkPWGex
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qlkjiMFQ
那笑意落在他蒼白病容上，竟仍晃得人眼前一亮。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhl8EZJMA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNmFjU16yj
辛菲心裡忍不住想：果然美人就是美人，病成這樣，還是好看得不像話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGSYAYDKva
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kBrJl54pt
陸景珩壓下腹中的飢餓感，灌了一口茶，忽然又道：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKM3lgaKSi
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhleCAzhTt
「不過有件事很奇怪。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1nMcRPil0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XiiB9elXz
「並非所有人都會變得極度飢餓。有些人，只是日漸消瘦而已。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMS4QmFk0z
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONoLVYwVMb
辛菲一怔。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43eGohJaZk
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHXnnabuL
腦中那股熟悉感，忽然又翻湧上來，像有什麼東西，即將破開迷霧。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5GmZkUplU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLzbE8N8OM
她低頭沉思許久，連陸景珩喚她都沒聽見。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBmbGrB0dk
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcSvrvA378
「辛姑娘？辛姑娘？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BZYcYOOdH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZuKNzVw1N
辛菲這才猛地回神。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gtO2jkD0L
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X6fvfQAm6
「啊？我沒事。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc3SB4OGcp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I4aYqj5sU
她抬頭，忽然問：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmqg33ZteI
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwla0al7gi
「陸大人，那些只是逐漸消瘦的人，是不是大多負責漿洗、挑水之類的活？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9XGNnPiKL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMDqBFmWSA
陸景珩神色驟變：「正是！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rzw7H1Ijh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJbEVW6lnD
他眼神一下亮了起來：「辛姑娘怎會知道？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe5k2xVbel
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xYCh3ttId
然而，辛菲的臉色卻瞬間沉了下去，果然…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v9lNE8NkP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mAXo3c9IR
如果真是那東西，那就麻煩了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNskZ3gGwA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByoJ9MWWpD
陸景珩很快察覺她神情不對。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IiCQB1Ek2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuS4am9xYM
「辛姑娘？」他聲音微緊：「你是不是……知道什麼？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrYo3j4ke5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrn6XqkNCE
辛菲沉默片刻，才低聲道：「我還不敢完全確定。只是……這症狀，我似乎曾見過類似的…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvn8yop9Z4
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf1yyeTVSc
陸景珩目光一凝。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTSjGF09VP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBgdQFan15
「你曾遇過？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dNrgcSPKt
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xPj85DNMz
他頓了頓，又像怕問得太急，放緩語氣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegm2YVzxhp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJAltXmtv2
「或者說，你知道這東西，可能是什麼？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjUtG4XJI3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC9QMMuN3v
辛菲輕輕搖頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVWH9lKIXs
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfmcThee1d
「現在還只是猜測，等我入山看過之後，才能真正確認。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7qbTL18Dl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmsCqB4c9k
可即便如此，陸景珩心裡依舊猛地鬆了一口氣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDL4OutHUF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwPgvqPSKz
至少，終於有人，不再只是毫無頭緒。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNqLbEA6wM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm81i2voWLE
他看著眼前的女子，心中忽然生出一種極深的安定感。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG175VW3tBZ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlhugv2yKf
而是一種近乎本能的信任，彷彿從第一次見面開始，他便知道辛菲是個能讓人放心把後背交出去的人。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJKrfhX4U0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50IVkCjn0D
她遇事總是不慌、不亂，哪怕面對危局，也極少露出失措模樣，像風浪裡仍能穩穩立著的人。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdTQRgA3OZ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7liClXdasr
這樣的人，天生就讓人想信。
