2154年12月12日,晚上七點,政治中心A區829Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZAtBoNITJ
829Please respect copyright.PENANA3vosQAgZaq
829Please respect copyright.PENANAOIRIuBvkri
十三個小時的飛行時間。從私人飛機走下來時,李晴煬感到十分疲憊,決定回家後第一件事先睡覺,這樣也不會有時差的問題,真是一舉兩得。829Please respect copyright.PENANAFRuKqymoGg
829Please respect copyright.PENANATKFwsXVDlE
他看了看周遭。打從下私人飛機開始,六名身穿黑西裝、戴著墨鏡、好像從電影裡走出來的保鑣便隨侍在側。偏偏現在是晚上,六名保鑣都穿黑色,完全融入了背景中。他覺得有點好笑,終於有「我是小少爺」的感覺。829Please respect copyright.PENANAQT4Jj0MWXY
829Please respect copyright.PENANAMVD5XPqqKe
走了一段路,眼前出現一台黑色的轎車。轎車旁站著一名黑色燕尾服的男人,但他的年紀比保鑣們年輕,只有二十幾歲,黑色頭髮梳了上去,露出稜角分明的臉部輪廓。829Please respect copyright.PENANAXp0FpynC4q
829Please respect copyright.PENANAalFZgHKR6o
「恭候多時,晴煬少爺。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAgTQNKwpXxv
829Please respect copyright.PENANAuVjR9kC2Q0
一見到他,男子鄭重鞠躬。李晴煬在心裡慶幸,好險李博洋當時幫自己準備了像樣的衣服,否則到時站在這裡、被稱之為「少爺」的人,會穿著一件醜陋的睡衣。829Please respect copyright.PENANAYoGA2qvLyC
829Please respect copyright.PENANAn6u94jnk4b
不過,李晴煬不是很懂他哥哥的品味。襯衫配短褲、披風配膝上襪、蝴蝶結配長靴。當他是在COSPLAY嗎?而且現在是十二月,李晴煬好冷,尤其是那兩條細細的腿,冷風吹過時都忍不住打顫。829Please respect copyright.PENANAYQFNqi9jH4
829Please respect copyright.PENANAO40uh4MwSM
「請少爺上車。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAEid3IXSlYJ
829Please respect copyright.PENANAVJzySBExRC
車門自動開啟。李晴煬趕緊鑽進去,車裡的暖氣讓他舒服許多,身子也放鬆下來,開始打量這台車子。829Please respect copyright.PENANAMKQq0SY1oO
829Please respect copyright.PENANAsQlKUoEDke
二十二世紀後,路上幾乎見不到汽油車,都是電動車,而且全是無人駕駛,使得車內空間非常大。這台車的座位是兩排面對面的沙發,李晴煬坐在面向前方的那一排,燕尾服男坐在他對面,那些保鑣則上了其他台車,繼續護衛的工作。829Please respect copyright.PENANAMrAJQqpUbl
829Please respect copyright.PENANABd52dKRpON
「車程要多久?」車門關上後,李晴煬問坐在他對面的燕尾服男。829Please respect copyright.PENANA7uRgwBaitc
829Please respect copyright.PENANA3MZ5phBXQh
「走特殊通道的話,約莫三十分鐘。」燕尾服男回答。829Please respect copyright.PENANAWgssUu7L9h
829Please respect copyright.PENANAd6VJfhhSMg
「特殊通道?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAVgxEZmdTnn
829Please respect copyright.PENANArQQuNck3T4
「十大家族專用的公路。」燕尾服男耐心解釋:「在A區,使用通道的不外乎謝氏、聯合政府官員,還有我們。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAv854VzdRQw
829Please respect copyright.PENANA6QehjIIDGy
「這樣啊。」李晴煬換問:「走一般的道路呢?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAgZWM9VYPQ2
829Please respect copyright.PENANAMJUubP66Jp
「……?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAVzEWcN1xFb
829Please respect copyright.PENANAowxHDytwfQ
燕尾服男露出驚訝的表情。李晴煬眨了眨眼,「怎麼了?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAoLrKAJGKgG
829Please respect copyright.PENANAGTYbUeCedi
「不……抱歉,剛才有些出神了,還請少爺見諒。」燕尾服男說:「沒有塞車的話,一個小時左右。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAGuQvjbsx63
829Please respect copyright.PENANA1MKrX70xzB
「那就走一般道路吧。」李晴煬告訴燕尾服男:「反正是晚上,車不多。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAIbp0vgfZpI
829Please respect copyright.PENANANeautFtGSL
「是。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAYVgZOYl7N6
829Please respect copyright.PENANAHO0F7HeW20
燕尾服男聽命,替自動駕駛車設定目的地時,也順便改了行車路線。車子開始移動,保鑣的車行駛在他們四周,將他們保護得十分徹底。829Please respect copyright.PENANATxz4Z6xt4W
829Please respect copyright.PENANA46OZEdomlO
李晴煬看向窗外。為什麼不走特殊道路,李晴煬也說不出原因。他很累,卻不想那麼早回家,彷彿回家就得面對不開心的事,想盡可能拖延時間。829Please respect copyright.PENANALcS5dhEf4T
829Please respect copyright.PENANA75PNPdEcK5
「少爺。」829Please respect copyright.PENANA5PfIMeBIKj
829Please respect copyright.PENANA1NeRAsgn2M
燕尾服男突然叫了他一聲。李晴煬把頭轉回來,「嗯?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAamMoVzIp8o
829Please respect copyright.PENANARf9vbf3QBO
「您肚子會餓嗎?」燕尾服男問。829Please respect copyright.PENANAZk6AJuFmXG
829Please respect copyright.PENANAylw3yleCg2
「還好,剛剛在飛機上有吃。」829Please respect copyright.PENANA4u5debf5sH
829Please respect copyright.PENANAXl1EC6a1ZQ
「那,要不要喝點什麼?」829Please respect copyright.PENANA012YtXwvvy
829Please respect copyright.PENANAujHzV8Knvv
「也不用,給我能打發時間的東西吧。」李晴煬隨口說:「書之類的。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAWhClcXTMWt
829Please respect copyright.PENANAuyughg8rtn
「是。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAhtKMKAZEbo
829Please respect copyright.PENANADXGGXA5kcW
燕尾服男聽命,他不知道按了什麼按鈕,下一秒,椅子下方的抽屜緩緩打開。燕尾服男從裡面拿出幾本書,問李晴煬:「少爺想看哪一本?」829Please respect copyright.PENANADubiY5mMff
829Please respect copyright.PENANAXpaRS6hvTV
「嗯……X的!那是什麼東西!?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAyVowSpYY2j
829Please respect copyright.PENANAtZfEgeayYA
李晴煬整個人都醒了。顧爾兩手各拿一本AV女優雜誌,還一本正經的模樣,嚇得李晴煬差點從車窗跳出去。829Please respect copyright.PENANALhVA5rkmjU
829Please respect copyright.PENANA233XIcoATz
「啊,屬下忘記少爺您失憶了,十分抱歉。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAn0xjwhbzlW
829Please respect copyright.PENANAQTcQ70m6Rd
看到李晴煬的反應,燕尾服男也十分錯愕,解釋:「因為少爺以前都在車上看這個。」829Please respect copyright.PENANA9ekkqOwDhs
829Please respect copyright.PENANAFm8Q2ytYiX
李晴煬在心裡罵了聲髒話。為什麼十一歲的小鬼會喜歡看AV女優雜誌,而且這個小鬼還是自己!媽呀,他好不想承認自己是李晴煬!829Please respect copyright.PENANAEnKOl1wC64
829Please respect copyright.PENANA5QbwcmO0NG
他趕緊叫燕尾服男把東西放回原位,同時李晴煬問:「你知道我失憶?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAVgbKlY7HIe
829Please respect copyright.PENANAJF6KAL5Kbw
「是,剛才本家的人有通知我。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAMd8lcGw48W
829Please respect copyright.PENANACUVNgoIcjc
李博洋說出去的。李晴煬在心裡得出這個結論。829Please respect copyright.PENANA74CHeFWyys
829Please respect copyright.PENANAinVaMchiyE
「介紹一下你自己。」829Please respect copyright.PENANACGbZVE78U9
829Please respect copyright.PENANAQyW2gydRb7
李晴煬打量著燕尾服男,發現他長得挺順眼的,至少比他那個哥哥順眼,「正如你所說,我失憶了,誰也不認得。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAvABfREuLAH
829Please respect copyright.PENANAFtrI4BcJ02
「是,也和少爺說聲抱歉,屬下忘記主動介紹。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAtRsUwECuej
829Please respect copyright.PENANA9LqnLDfnTX
燕尾服男將戴有白手套的右手放在胸前,朝李晴煬行了個禮。829Please respect copyright.PENANAPpig0LSPTh
829Please respect copyright.PENANAzz92QyuNCK
「屬下名顧爾,今年二十五,是晴煬少爺的貼身執事。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAreCkLANDpf
829Please respect copyright.PENANAF7uMAewsj8
「貼身執事?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAib8C7AfeMT
829Please respect copyright.PENANA98dEVBaDQM
「是的,這是屬下服侍少爺的第五年,承蒙少爺照顧了。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAME5btbFv71
829Please respect copyright.PENANAjIdpwI2w13
對顧爾產生興趣的李晴煬眨了眨眼,再問:「你在我們家工作幾年了?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAzPSuNrTjEh
829Please respect copyright.PENANAURfaUL7tPM
「嗯……屬下十歲進入李門,起初只是打雜小弟,後來承蒙老爺提拔,五年前成為了您的貼身執事。總計十五年左右。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAVI9fOlwULN
829Please respect copyright.PENANAq6NtzSMEkw
十五年。李晴煬心想。或許能從顧爾這裡問到很多事。829Please respect copyright.PENANAjbMQmSra1Q
829Please respect copyright.PENANAfeMBI0yxTu
「你對李門了解多少?」李晴煬問。829Please respect copyright.PENANAusOOoMQ9SE
829Please respect copyright.PENANAC2XA7vM30L
「得看少爺想知道什麼。」顧爾微笑。829Please respect copyright.PENANAgJyEDLhQ33
829Please respect copyright.PENANAieDo3q5OuZ
「從家族事業說起吧。」李晴煬說:「十大家族之所以被稱為十大家族,估計是掌握、壟斷了某種生意吧?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAiSlOqtJQUR
829Please respect copyright.PENANABwkcgQGnUJ
「確實如此。十大家族幾乎壟斷了二十二世紀的各大產業,不過,李門的家族事業,稱之為『產業』有些不恰當。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAVKaiOBf2qM
829Please respect copyright.PENANAlARy94h6dE
不等李晴煬開口,顧爾就反問:「晴煬少爺還記得聯合政府嗎?」829Please respect copyright.PENANA1jauB8nQ7v
829Please respect copyright.PENANAv15H1TepaH
「我是失憶,不是失智。」李晴煬不高興地說。829Please respect copyright.PENANAxgK0YdOmkF
829Please respect copyright.PENANADfQ7AihUzP
「抱歉,屬下說錯話了。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAnqtRsj1vrd
829Please respect copyright.PENANAIIMRbrAAIS
顧爾連忙道歉。李晴煬揮了揮手,表示不在意。829Please respect copyright.PENANAhpgYmRNEhO
829Please respect copyright.PENANAuCHhkHMgw2
「各區每五年會選出一名區域代表進入聯合政府執政。這些區域代表的候選人,幾乎都出自李門。」顧爾告訴李晴煬:「簡單來說,就是政治世家。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAs8UDpqhgsa
829Please respect copyright.PENANAObk4SwQPgw
「候選人都是我們家的?」李晴煬皺眉,「那有什麼好選的?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAPm0aECeFft
829Please respect copyright.PENANAzWgAEiggXv
「嗯……或許這正是聯合政府沒有實權的原因。只有姓李的才能被提名為候選人,說穿了,選舉只是形式。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAudJwpT2wQK
829Please respect copyright.PENANAfa8RLkNpdQ
李晴煬覺得不可思議,但仔細想想,這是高宇維的時代,民主早被二十一世紀的民族國家玩壞,會出現這種制度也不意外。829Please respect copyright.PENANAqgeQhjvNNW
829Please respect copyright.PENANAgdhAOluBp7
「不過,在李門,選舉是整個家族最重要的大事。」顧爾說:「這牽扯到自己在家族中的地位。如果當選為A區的代表,還能成為整個家族的領導人。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAOHojl7gEhJ
829Please respect copyright.PENANAarNMEZCqMr
「就是你剛才提到的『老爺』?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAFECFbzihwE
829Please respect copyright.PENANAyiJRxsnYYi
「沒錯。李門現在的領導人、現任的A區代表──李昂老爺。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAMVTb853zTG
829Please respect copyright.PENANAuStTvj6iIY
李昂。李晴煬眨了眨眼,隱約對這名字有印象。829Please respect copyright.PENANAdmmVQQfIHc
829Please respect copyright.PENANAbruquyUzJm
「李昂老爺,以輩分來說,是晴煬少爺的伯父。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAirpwn7Yd8Z
829Please respect copyright.PENANAKnN6ZXDpQG
「伯父?」李晴煬反問:「我爸的哥哥?」829Please respect copyright.PENANA8J7UqSstmD
829Please respect copyright.PENANATjkYuHdlYJ
「沒錯。李昂老爺現年五十五歲,未婚,也沒有子嗣。」829Please respect copyright.PENANALUTvzXp6uQ
829Please respect copyright.PENANAyLDAIBvoHk
「我爸呢?他叫什麼名字?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAy4PpRY4tR9
829Please respect copyright.PENANAUd408krzER
「二爺名李康,他……」829Please respect copyright.PENANAiM2vdu7X9y
829Please respect copyright.PENANAhMWJTbjv0f
顧爾話只說一半。李晴煬覺得奇怪,追問:「怎麼?幹嘛不說話?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAWbnznOWBne
829Please respect copyright.PENANAuQNiTpghvp
「……少爺,您不記得了嗎?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAzhWiO3b34J
829Please respect copyright.PENANAurg67EmYEx
顧爾一副難以啟齒的樣子,但李晴煬叫他說,他就沒辦法違背命令。829Please respect copyright.PENANAvycviILQJ9
829Please respect copyright.PENANAnPQraFKmxb
「二爺他,十年前就過世了。」829Please respect copyright.PENANADToAAo46VY
829Please respect copyright.PENANAYSymNShsMS
「……!?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAi0GzowuWPL
829Please respect copyright.PENANAjjIdol0ZOc
聽到顧爾的話,李晴煬的眼睛張大了一圈。829Please respect copyright.PENANA1n50HHuyV4
829Please respect copyright.PENANApgAcyD823i
「二爺年輕時得了腦炎,那之後,他的精神狀況就不太穩定。發作時,沒辦法準確判斷物體的大小與距離,常常頭痛,甚至會胡言亂語,說自己的身體變大或變小,之類的。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAGcCO9Gd1cc
829Please respect copyright.PENANAtwz0sQ4saa
顧爾語帶落寞地告訴李晴煬:829Please respect copyright.PENANANnmAgWYdFa
829Please respect copyright.PENANAHk90I08LJ4
「十年前,您的母親病逝後,二爺的精神狀況更加不穩,幾天後被女僕發現自盡於寢室。那時的少爺非常小,博洋少爺也在那之後出家,少爺是由三爺扶養長大的。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAFLyszw7oDo
829Please respect copyright.PENANAfMya7GyqV9
父母雙亡的設定來得太突然。李晴煬不記得他們,沒有悲傷的感覺,只是心情非常複雜,沒想到「李晴煬」有這樣的故事。829Please respect copyright.PENANA9wKTNdZWtO
829Please respect copyright.PENANAQ87YI8zLgZ
829Please respect copyright.PENANALosGa1tqzh
──你所謂的『家』已經不屬於我。我的人生只屬於宇維少爺。現在是,未來也是。829Please respect copyright.PENANAZSZdFYKI8Y
829Please respect copyright.PENANA6t9F8dmAy0
829Please respect copyright.PENANAPUJyOtGoyr
他想起李博洋說這話時的眼神和表情。當年的李晴煬剛出生,就算沒失憶,也對父母沒多大的印象;但李博洋不同,他當時六歲,失去雙親一定讓他打擊很大,所以才選擇逃避一切、遁入空門。829Please respect copyright.PENANAqZlofGRRTw
829Please respect copyright.PENANAsLHmhyZHPO
兄弟倆昨天不歡而散。自己明明什麼也不記得,還對李博洋說了過分的話。雖然對哥哥沒好感,李晴煬還是感到過意不去。829Please respect copyright.PENANARV7wk7kWRV
829Please respect copyright.PENANALc7SkZDBTK
「少爺,您還好嗎?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAMkIilSUrdm
829Please respect copyright.PENANAcxbCgqtIby
發現自己的臉色很糟,顧爾連忙道歉:「抱歉,屬下說了多餘的話。」829Please respect copyright.PENANA63ni7gfQGn
829Please respect copyright.PENANAD1rHAuUMxk
「不,我沒事,謝謝你告訴我。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAiD2i041V4L
829Please respect copyright.PENANA6IC3QFZwTf
聽到李晴煬說「謝謝」,顧爾露出很震驚的表情,但只有一下下。829Please respect copyright.PENANArskwU8NMj4
829Please respect copyright.PENANAstiGYmrLYW
車子駛上另一條高速公路。李晴煬收起私人情緒,繼續問顧爾:「你剛提到『三爺』,我爸還有一個弟弟?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAI4UMlD7RnY
829Please respect copyright.PENANArpIQS3kW4b
「是的。以輩分來說,三爺是您的叔叔。」顧爾老實回答。829Please respect copyright.PENANAN905g6pX60
829Please respect copyright.PENANA5heexGYqr7
「叫什麼名字?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAd2c6yOmptV
829Please respect copyright.PENANAlnf6cQwdwu
「李央。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAonMf9rmJCR
829Please respect copyright.PENANATpw52Rye8c
李晴煬愣了愣。他們家人的名字,似乎都會押韻。829Please respect copyright.PENANAOS7VjWR8Kn
829Please respect copyright.PENANA8Mb8f9H2ph
「少爺和三爺的感情很好,與其說叔姪,兩位的關係更像……朋友。」829Please respect copyright.PENANA6Foeq1AzcR
829Please respect copyright.PENANAEkGWVUiNvw
說到朋友兩字,顧爾的表情有些奇怪,但只有一瞬間。829Please respect copyright.PENANAWlMdTEnSKU
829Please respect copyright.PENANAco5EET63LJ
「聽到您平安無事,三爺非常高興。他原本有很多競選行程,一聽到您回來,就把行程全部取消,說要在家陪您。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAdoi15Ixy7u
829Please respect copyright.PENANA8jygx0aFVL
「競選行程?」李晴煬聽到關鍵字。829Please respect copyright.PENANAIUEnNkwzEh
829Please respect copyright.PENANAhDSLNSFKlH
「是的,三爺在這次的選舉中,要挑戰老爺蟬聯四屆A區代表的紀錄。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAMjYfM86GZc
829Please respect copyright.PENANABfGxunt1FU
親兄弟競爭嗎?李晴煬在心裡冷笑,大人的世界真的很無聊。829Please respect copyright.PENANALRZE85oa5L
829Please respect copyright.PENANAkEUAuzEeCg
「什麼時候選?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAvyUqRLYHJ9
829Please respect copyright.PENANAlE1Xj5vQnu
「明年的三月十一日。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAajOA5Nwg9z
829Please respect copyright.PENANAoebKWm5ixb
「三月?」李晴煬算了算,「三個月後?」829Please respect copyright.PENANAVQorg1ghsE
829Please respect copyright.PENANAseFtDgp1VQ
「是的,現在的選情很緊張,老爺和三爺一刻也不敢鬆懈。」829Please respect copyright.PENANADK6lryJdYK
829Please respect copyright.PENANA6h7G1IMdlq
「……。」829Please respect copyright.PENANAcAApADTlWz
829Please respect copyright.PENANAPTLDheTbLc
李晴煬不在乎選舉,而是這個時間點,他和李博洋的打賭也是三個月。829Please respect copyright.PENANArAnukAlEFg
829Please respect copyright.PENANATLtsBl4TTo
是巧合嗎?李晴煬不知道這兩者間有什麼關聯,但三個月絕對不是李博洋亂喊的,一定藏有他不知道的事。829Please respect copyright.PENANAFyyE0v0xKP
829Please respect copyright.PENANAcbcZDDXTVo
「少爺,我們到了。」829Please respect copyright.PENANA4WB3eDfwkI
829Please respect copyright.PENANAHRu8snuWju
車子不知不覺抵達目的地。李晴煬原本以為家是一座西式洋房,或中式的大宅院,事實卻是以上皆非。下車後的他當場愣在原地,脖子抬得非常高,自己竟然看不到這棟建築物的頂部。829Please respect copyright.PENANArhyTZ8uefn
829Please respect copyright.PENANA3WSqOMLv2G
「歡迎回來,少爺。」829Please respect copyright.PENANACfe6MYNLil
829Please respect copyright.PENANAG85feFXQo1
顧爾把手放在胸前,作了一個非常完美的九十度鞠躬。他的左手腕掛著一支金色的手錶,和這座建築物的外觀有幾分相似。829Please respect copyright.PENANAV9njqZEj62
829Please respect copyright.PENANApiWIVgdzLk
829Please respect copyright.PENANAqpxmZ3KzNN
「您沒看錯,這座建築名『十一塔』,世世代代的李門子弟皆居住於此。」829Please respect copyright.PENANARYKancNGqh
829Please respect copyright.PENANAkJidhvKnga
829Please respect copyright.PENANAFkCca4x3s7
出現在李晴煬眼前的,是一座西式鐘塔,目測有一百多層。塔的正面有一個非常大的時鐘,時鐘是二十四小時制,上面都是羅馬數字,長針與短針好像鍍了一層金箔,閃閃發亮的。要是顧爾沒說,李晴煬還以為是觀光勝地。829Please respect copyright.PENANAooH6fKEyAJ
829Please respect copyright.PENANAHYIDeDJYMY
「這裡是絕對講究時間的地方。」829Please respect copyright.PENANA9ejiHJFhmW
829Please respect copyright.PENANAX8KfakXYfi
顧爾直起身。冷颼颼的風吹亂他的頭髮,幾縷瀏海垂了下來,看起來年輕許多,總算有二十五歲的模樣。829Please respect copyright.PENANAjI7qc95ZPj
829Please respect copyright.PENANA0I4o21ARTM
「我們的一言一舉,都被時間控制著。」
