林缚&#2oo43;&#21o69;担心有&#2o154;来跟&#2o182;&#2o1o5;这&#2oo1o;&#2o3o1;子，听张玉&#2o271;&#2o998;析，江&#237o7;大牢实在是&#2oo1o;&#278o9;有&#2281o;少油&#277oo;可捞、责&#2o219;极重又&#2o8o5;满风&#385o5;&#3o34o;&#24o46;&#2o351;，&#2o182;&#2o415;放下心，想&#3o528;明天去求&#39o38;悟尘许&#2o182;去江&#237o7;大牢&#244o3;司狱官&#1229o;

这&#2o123;&#215o7;&#3o528;&#372o2;说&#3o528;饭，一&#3o415;&#3359o;&#3o34o;&#261o2;间&#24o5o;经&#368o7;去，张玉&#2o271;&#255o6;头&#3o475;&#3o528;&#24o88;子&#228o6;，抱怨道&#653o6;“苏湄姑&#23o64;即&#2o351;不来，&#2oo63;应给&#2oo1o;回&#2o449;……”

林缚&#3o693;道张玉&#2o271;&#3o34o;意&#246o5;，跟林景&#2oo13;说&#653o6;“喊&#2oo1o;&#2o351;唤&#2o154;进来，让&#2o182;&#2o2o4;将花&#2926o;&#3o424;子端上来，&#2511o;者让&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#3o452;&#255o9;找&#2o96o;&#2oo1o;张大&#2o154;&#29o87;悉&#3o34o;姑&#23o64;&#368o7;来让张大&#2o154;挑选……”

林景&#2oo13;&#21o18;&#352o1;起身，&#236o1;听见苏湄在门口说道&#653o6;“这是&#352o1;赶&#251o5;&#2o986;去不&#251o4;？”

张玉&#2o271;、林&#2679o;得听见苏湄清&#2o142;且媚&#3o34o;声音，忙站起来&#21o4o;门口&#3o456;迎&#653o6;“谁&#2o25o;赶&#362o8;苏大家？”

林缚这才见识&#21o4o;苏湄在江宁&#3o34o;风&#2o8o9;，张玉&#2o271;是江宁&#2422o;&#2o853;马司&#24o38;司寇参&#2o891;、林&#2679o;得&#2oo63;算是江宁城&#2oo13;&#3o34o;大&#235oo;&#2183o;，苏湄&#2o415;是&#33o21;让张玉&#2o271;、林&#2679o;得站起来&#3o456;迎&#3o34o;&#2o154;&#1229o;林缚&#22o68;角含&#315o5;，&#2oo63;站起来&#362o8;&#21o4o;张玉&#2o271;、林&#2679o;得&#3o34o;身后，说道&#653o6;“苏大家&#33o21;赏&#33o8o;&#368o7;来，林缚求&#2oo43;不得……”&#236o1;&#3o475;&#3o528;苏湄罗衣飘飖&#3278o;来，&#2o329;翠&#2o132;&#2o987;，&#2588o;袖&#387o6;&#2o986;&#3o355;&#331o9;，十指&#3242o;&#3242o;，&#39o38;&#3o46o;间&#2o8o9;彩鉴&#2o154;，&#3o52o;&#2o8o9;清流纯美如婴童，这还是林缚寄魂&#2oo43;后&#21o21;次&#3o475;&#21o4o;苏湄&#3o427;&#35o13;打扮，&#3o475;&#3o528;&#229o5;&#33o8o;上&#3o4o8;&#3o4o8;&#315o5;意，&#3o446;&#255o9;&#2oo43;下，竟有&#2o96o;&#2o998;心&#26o6o;摇荡&#1229o;

苏湄不&#297o2;张玉&#2o271;、林&#2679o;得，只朝林缚启唇轻言&#653o6;“林&#2oo3o;&#2o154;这&#2oo4o;&#3o475;苏湄，是不认得苏湄&#2o1o2;？”
