Chapter 22 The human heart is unpredictable
The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.
Ming Chongyan was in his heart at this time, but he didn't have half the joy of meeting with the beauty.
Following the previous scent, he walked all the way through Lufang, and finally found the source of the scent under the willow tree.
It was a little red bird.
The moonlight was pale, and the red bird was curled up on a man's shoulder, like a red furball.
The man had his back to Ming Chongyan, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and this kind of silence made Ming Chongyan feel a creepy feeling in his heart.
He hadn't felt this way in years.
The dull atmosphere, like a pair of invisible big hands, choked his throat little by little.
Ming Chongyan finally asked, "You put the fire?" What is your purpose? ”
The man under the willow tree had a tall back, and when he heard Ming Chongyan's words, he slowly turned around, and at the same time broke off a willow branch casually.
In the cold of winter, the willow trees are already bare, and only simple willow branches hang down.
The man broke off the willow branch and said, "Why set the fire, don't you know Minglangjun?" ”
"It's you."
Although he had already guessed in his heart, when he really saw the other party, Ming Chongyan was still shocked in his heart.
The person opposite, his face covered with a ghost mask like oil paint, in his hand, two fingers between a dry willow branch, fingers flicked lightly.
There was a soft "snort" in the air.
The willow branch was like an arrow breaking through the sky, shooting towards Ming Chongyan's front door.
Ming Chongyan was busy and turned his head away.
The willow branch cut through the gap in the hair, breaking a few long jet-black hairs.
The wind was so cold that it almost cut his cheeks.
Ming Chongyan walked with him, like a white lightning, and retreated a few feet in an instant.
But when he looked up, the other party was in front of him.
They still kept the same distance as Fang Cai, as if the two had never moved at all.
The light in Ming Chongyan's eyes flashed, he slowly stood up, and said in an unusually calm voice: "I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect Su Langjun's strength to improve faster in the army." ”
Su Dawei smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and flicked the little red bird on his shoulder.
The colorful ghost face like a mandrill slowly faded, revealing its true face.
The ghost-faced jellyfish quietly swam back into his hand from his face.
"Su Langjun, what do you mean by bringing me here?"
Although Ming Chongyan's body seemed relaxed, the vigilance in his eyes betrayed his heart.
"Could it be that Su Langjun wants to kill me?"
"Not at the moment."
Su Dawei smiled: "There are just a few questions, I want to ask you." ”
I don't want to do it now, but it may be possible at any time in the future.
The taste of this, Ming Chongyan can still tell it clearly.
Su Dawei set fire from the fire, leaving a smell to attract Ming Chongyan to come.
Everything that has been revealed before has revealed a signal that he is very strong.
He has the strength to crush everything.
At least in the current situation of the two, Su Dawei has the strength to kill Ming Chongyan.
What's more, the bird on his shoulder, Ming Chongyan couldn't even see the calendar.
But in my heart, there seems to be a terrible feeling of being targeted by natural enemies.
"What does Su Langjun want to ask?"
"Just tell me about fire."
Su Dawei's eyes were bright, and he looked directly at Ming Chongyan, who was implicitly vigilant: "The fire in the dentist's shop was ordered by Helan to set it?" ”
Ming Chongyan's face was cold and pretty, and he didn't say a word.
"Man, I've already been caught, and after preliminary interrogation, he has been summoned."
"Now that you already know, why are you asking me what to do?"
On Ming Chongyan's handsome and uncast cheeks, the masseter muscles jumped slightly, as if he felt a kind of humiliation.
It's the feeling of an enemy who has everything under control, but who is deliberately tempting and playing with his prey.
And he is Ming Chongyan, and at this time he is the rat that Su Dawei is playing with.
"Although I know the result, I still want to know, why did Helan Toshizhi do this? He is the nephew of the Empress Wu, and I am also regarded as a brother by the Empress Wu, we both belong to the Empress Wu, why do you want to do this to me? ”
Su Dawei slowly asked the doubts in his heart.
This question has actually been bothering him for a long time.
It's just that I haven't had a chance, and right now, it's just the right time to bring it up together.
Why is Helan Minzhi so hostile to himself?
When he was a child, he was also rescued by Su Dawei, how can people take revenge like this?
"Su Langjun, you really don't know?"
A strange look suddenly appeared on Ming Chongyan's face.
It was a look of mockery, suspicion.
Su Dawei shook his head: "If I knew, I wouldn't ask." ”
"Minzhi told me that when he was a child, he saw you visit the Yue Wangfu, and at that time his aunt Wushun was kind enough to sell some old furniture with you, who knew that you actually did it, knocked Wushun unconscious, and then got her to nowhere until a long time back."
These words made Su Dawei a little stunned for a while.
After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that in order to investigate the case, there was indeed a time when I pretended to contact Wushun to ask for an old table.
As a result, Wu Shun led him into the Yue Palace, and in a deserted courtyard, he suddenly attacked.
Later, he took Wu Shun to Wang Jingzhi, only to know that Wu Shun was used by someone to confuse his heart.
I still remember that in the Yue Wang's Mansion at that time, the person who opened the back door was the young Helan Minzhi.
Ming Chongyan looked at Su Dawei, and then said: "Minzhi has always regarded this matter as a lifelong shame, and he thinks that you have humiliated Wushun. ”
I'm not, I don't!
Su Dawei opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but when he saw Ming Chongyan's calm and confirmed expression, he suddenly understood in his heart that whatever he said was useless. Newcastle
Some stereotypes cannot be changed in a few words.
It may have started as a misunderstanding, a very boring and funny misunderstanding.
But this knot in his heart, for so many years in Helan Minzhi, has been an unbreakable dead button.
Any explanation is superfluous.
People will always only believe what they want to believe.
"Helan Minzhi wants to get rid of me, I can understand that, but why did he use such clumsy means? Are you underestimating me too? Just a fugitive slave who wants to assassinate? Is this looking down on me, or is it looking down on himself? ”
"It's ......"
Ming Chongyan showed a look of hesitation on his face: "It's actually a misunderstanding, Minzhi really wanted to be unfavorable to you at first, but I persuaded him, he dispelled this idea, but he didn't expect that among the people he snared, some people did their own thing." ”
"Are you excusing him?"
"No, in fact, Minzhi doesn't know how powerful you are, he won't do it until he is sure, you can look down on us, but don't doubt our resourcefulness."
"That's right."
Su Dawei nodded: "You told me all this, aren't you afraid that I will report it to Your Majesty?" ”
"You won't."
Helan Minzhi's eyes flashed, and he said very confidently: "From what I know about you, you seem to be easy-going on the outside, but you are extremely conceited in your heart and have your own opinions.
You don't say all this lightly, because it's not good for you. ”
"Why is it no good?"
Su Dawei said with a smile: "Your Majesty is urging this case very urgently, and I will report the results tomorrow." ”
"If there is no result in this case, Your Majesty will reprimand you at most, but if you shake out Minzhi's matter, he is the nephew of Empress Wu, can Your Majesty really kill him?
What's more, this matter is the person below, who is bold and reckless, and did it without the consent of me and Minzhi.
I can't blame Toshiyuki for anything. ”
Ming Chongyan calmly analyzed: "Just take 10,000 steps back, you will blame Min Zhi for this case, and you will stab your majesty, at most, Min Zhi will only be reprimanded, and it will not hurt your muscles and bones."
But in the future, how will you deal with yourself on the side of the Empress Wu? ”
The corners of Ming Chongyan's mouth rose, revealing a conceited color: "Since ancient times, if you do this, it will be a self-defeating way forward, I believe you will not do this, right?" ”
Su Dawei was silent for a moment.
Under Ming Chongyan's scorching gaze, he raised his head and said, "What you said is quite reasonable, but even I am not sure what will happen when I meet Your Majesty tomorrow."
I feel that life in the world cannot escape the word axiom.
There are some things that should be punished if you do something wrong. ”
"You ......"
Ming Chongyan's face changed slightly.
At this moment, from the darkness on the side, a thick black qi suddenly squirmed, and several figures walked out of it.
The first is the tall tiger.
He intervened at Su Dawei and said, "I have interrogated that person, his mouth is very hard, and he still refuses to recruit." ”
"It doesn't matter if he recruits or not."
Su Dawei looked behind Gao Dahu: "You all heard what you said just now, and you can all testify." ”
"Yes."
Several detectives from the Ducha Temple, as well as Wei Poyan and others, responded together.
Ming Chongyan's face changed again, and he pointed at Su Dawei and said sharply: "You...... me! ”
"Just get used to it, and even if you don't say it, I won't be able to find out?"
Su Dawei looked at Ming Chongyan, who was still full of conceit, and now he was severely frustrated, and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than a matter of time." ”
Ming Chongyan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and had to admit that what Su Dawei said was right.
"This case has already been touched, let's go back first."
Su Dawei explained to Gao Dahu and the others.
Turning around, he said to Ming Chongyan, who was standing in place with a look of struggle on his face: "As for you, if you are willing, help me bring a message to Helan Minzhi - what he saw may not be true, what happened back then was not what he thought."
However, if he really wants to be my enemy, I am not afraid. ”
After speaking, he nodded to Wei Poyan and the others beside him.
The people of Ducha Monastery melted into the darkness and disappeared.
The night breeze was bleak, and Ming Chongyan stood in place, motionless for a long time.
Until the moonlight fell through the black clouds, illuminating his pale complexion.
……
"Siqing, has the case of the fugitive slave's assassination been solved?"
"Not yet, there are still some key issues I haven't thought through, I'll review it when I go back to Ducha Temple in a while."
"What is it?"
"No need to ask."
"Oh."
Wei Poyan, who was beside Gao Dahu, said: "I thought this case was very complicated at first, but in the end, I didn't expect it to be so simple. ”
"Do you think it's easy?"
Su Dawei chuckled: "Then you probably only saw the first layer." ”
"Siqing, isn't there a second layer?"
"Of course."
While rushing with everyone, Su Dawei organized the language and said: "The most difficult case in the world is not how exquisite the design is, but the hearts of the people. ”
The human heart is unpredictable.
Under the surface, it is never possible to guess what the people behind them, in their hearts, are really thinking.
Why do you do this?
What is the rationale?
What's the benefit of doing it?
Before Ming Chongyan said it, Su Dawei couldn't have imagined that he thought he was kind to Helan Minzhi, but in fact, more than ten years ago, Helan Minzhi had already planted hatred for him.
"The human heart is unpredictable."
"Siqing, it's not a few hours before dawn, after dawn, how do you explain to Your Majesty?"
"Well...... this"
