Chapter 167: The Old Temple, Xu Le's Biggest Crisis!
(Day.) The chapter name is incorrect. Two hundred and sixty-four. Throw the dead. But he doesn't admit that he was bad at math since he was a child. My mom was a math teacher in elementary school. When I was in junior high school, I won the first place in the city...... Hum. Of course, I don't think I ever passed college math. Bow your head and confess your sins.
But there is a real mistake to report to everyone: in the evidence that Shi Qinghai did yesterday. There were bloody handprints on the confession. Then I thought about it for a long time. It's too stupid to find this bloody handprint. If it's electronically scanned. What's the point of that? Bow your head and confess.
Confess your guilt. Then bow your head and ask everyone for monthly pass support. It's not far from the front. There are only one or two hundred votes left. It's impulsive, isn't it? The name of this chapter is learned. Let's see if it's fun. οΌ
When Xu Le and Magnolia walked in front of the black mecha. 5 away from them. 4 light-years away, in the Bard System, the administrative star of the Commonwealth Region, is close to the plateau but borders the mountains of the East China Sea. There will be the most blazing light of midday. Butler Jin, who was wearing a black dress, hung up the phone. A rain corridor made of paulownia planks. I came to the bottom of the quaint building in the middle of the mountain.
It is a temple in the style of an ancient dynasty. In the constitutional period. The vestiges of the Imperial Dynasty in the Federation are being erased, consciously or unconsciously. There are only some old style buildings in the middle of nowhere. At the strong request of some experts and scholars. was saved. This temple was probably used up tens of thousands of years ago, and has long since disappeared into history. Only those pale yellow cornices. Dark round ancient pillars. A whitewashed wall with a hint of mottled smell. It's a reminder of its age. Its majesty.
The whole temple is built on the mountain. It faces the sea to the east. Headrest green hills. Welcome the first light in this world. Listen to the last sound of the pine waves in the night. It's a pity that behind the mountain is the plateau that rises abruptly. So the scenery is beautiful. But few people came.
Listed Ancient Buildings. Each calendar is subject to a major overhaul with federal funding. However, it is not touristy. Again, property rights do not seem to be in federal hands. So the management is not effective. Gradually, the vicissitudes of life will be defeated. There is an air of decay. It seems that the pine waves behind the mountain. The blue waves in front of the mountain are a few more magnificent. The temple will be dusted away.
The blazing midday sun shines on the glazed eaves. Reflects an uncomfortable light. Steward Jin lowered his head. Stand outside a small room on the side of the temple. whispered to the woman who was busy in the room, "Shen Li is going to see Xu Le tonight." I heard that Xu Le has something important in his hands. Probably related to MedellΓn. β
When the woman heard this. Didn't react much. Still with his head down. Chop the onion and garlic on a cutting board. The slender sharp knife was in her white hands. Quickly land on the cutting board. It makes boring and boring sounds. Those onions and garlic turned into flowers and crumbs with these sounds. Gradually piled up into a pile.
Steward Jin waited quietly. He knew that every time his wife did housework. No one can come to disturb except the crown prince. It's just that the news from Shen Li's side today seems to be related to Congressman Medellin. It is related to the federal presidential election. He had to report to his wife as soon as possible.
Looking at Mrs. Tai's busy back. That calm smile on his face. Steward Jin was a little confused for a while. How many years did he look at his wife like this, even if it was something that could affect the federal presidential election. It can't let this woman's emotions fluctuate too much. The most powerful woman in the Federation. Isn't it natural to have such a bearing?
Heat the oil pan. Stir-fry the green onion and garlic. Slice of lamb slide in. A strange fragrance permeated the room next to the temple. It's not too long. Mrs. Tai put the dishes in the pot on a plate. I exhaled softly. Satisfied, he wiped off the few drops of sweat on his slightly red cheeks.
Just sit casually on the stone lawn of the temple. The two well-behaved and quiet waitresses had already prepared the dishes, chopsticks and rice. A stone table. A futon. Mrs. Tai sat at the stone table. The tip of the chopsticks picks up a piece of lamb with a numb fragrance and rolls it into the rice. I took a careful bite. After savoring it for a while, he laughed. said: "Next time Ah Yuan comes back." I would definitely say that my cooking skills have improved
Steward Jin stood behind her. Silence all the time.
The midday sun is blazing. But there was wind in the mountains. So it's not so hot. Just finish a bowl of white rice. A small half plate of lamb goes down the belly. Beads of sweat still oozed from the tip of Mrs. Tai's nose. After the waitress next to him brought it. The waitress cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Far away.
There is a teapot on the stone table. Two teacups. Mrs. Tai poured herself a glass. Then he lightly pointed to another empty cup. Steward Jin stepped forward. Poured myself a glass. Still not sitting down. Just stood and took a sip gently.
The teacup is carved out of Moshan stone. The natural stone color is filled with chilling ink. The material is precious and good. The tea is Mengshan frozen tea. Wrapped in the unique atmosphere of snow-capped mountains. After being washed away by water. Deliberately chilled for twenty minutes. Pour from the pot at this point. Then it was condensed by the Moshan stone cup. Smellless. But there is a faint fragrance oozing out of the throat.
Steward Jin was silent, feeling the taste between his lips and tongue. The tiger's mouth held the slightly cool Moshan stone cup. The slight urgency in my heart suddenly disappeared. The standing posture is also much more stable.
"How's the investigation going in the Donglin Region?"
Mrs. Tai slowly put down the teacup. No longer look at the sea in front of the mountain. Instead, he glanced at the window under the eaves in the corner of the temple. Someone there seemed to be watching her.
Steward Jin is not surprised, and Madame does not care about the presidential election. And to care about the story of the Donglin region two years ago. Because although he doesn't know the inside story of this matter. But I vaguely guessed the heaviness between Madame's eyebrows. It should be related to Professor Jin. And he was also shocked by the results of the investigation. I'm about to come back right away.
"Donglin is too far away. Only come and make remote returns. "Steward Jin knows the true feeling that looking at people on the other side can bring. However, there is no way around it. He said softly, "After Yu Feng escaped being wanted by the Federation. Pseudonym Feng Yu. Opened a repair shop on Xianglan Avenue in Hexi Prefecture. β
If it's a normal time. Steward Jin himself will think that his report will be too unfocused. Because he didn't know what the defected mechanic had to do with Professor Jin. But that's the focus of Madame's attention. So he followed the material on the stuff. I said it from the beginning in great detail. Even if a lot of the information was known to Madame before.
Mrs. Tai sat quietly by the stone table. Sitting is unlike anyone else in the Federation. The body goes back slightly. Press on your own legs. It seems to be a kneeling posture. The waist is extremely straight. It's like an aspen. The slightly wide pale linen shirt covered the cloth shoes on his feet. It also completely hides the curves of the body that is still very well maintained. She listened carefully to Steward Jin's narration. Quiet and peaceful countenance. Those eyes gradually lit up.
A federal fugitive who was designated as a first-tier by the Charter Bureau. can endure loneliness. Stayed on that barren mine star for more than ten years. An apprenticeship was also accepted. A sneer appeared on the corner of Mrs. Tai's lips.
"Yu Feng's repair shop has an apprentice. Call...... Xu Le. When Steward Jin said this name. The voice paused slightly. Glancing at Madame's side face. I found that Madame did not look stunned. Only then did he quietly continue, and many people can prove it. At first I was surprised. But I don't think that Xu Le is the current Xu Le. β
"Because in the archives of the Charter Bureau. The orphan Xu Le in the Donglin Region. It has been confirmed dead by charter. Because he is a party to the first sequence. Therefore, the central computer carried out the most rigorous confirmation. There is no one within the Chartist Bureau who can do anything about it. Steward Jin was silent for a long time and then said, "So." In a legal sense. Judging by the federal archives. That Xu Le had already died two years ago
Steward Jin squinted his eyes slightly. It seems that he also doesn't believe in the information reported from the Donglin Region. He lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Then...... When the staff took Xu Le's photo to confirm. Those residents of Xianglan Avenue and Gulou Street. It's all in one bite. Xu Le is Xu Le. β
Xu Le is Xu Le. It's an interesting sentence. Mrs. Tai's hands were quietly folded on her laps. Quietly looking at the deep East China Sea in front of the mountain temple. He asked softly, "It's been two years. Why are those residents still so confirmed? Donglin's Xu Le is very similar to this Xu Le, although they look very similar. But there is always a difference between the eyebrows and the eyes. β
Steward Jin bowed down and replied, "The facial features are very similar." Then there's the smile. The residents of Hexi Prefecture seem to have a hard time forgetting the smiling young helper in the repair shop. It is said that Xu Le used to be in Donglin. Very favorite of the neighbors. "I didn't expect it to be the reason. I couldn't help but laugh.
Steward Jin was silent for a moment and then said, "No one would ever think that Charter computers would make mistakes. I don't think so either. So according to my analysis. There are only two possibilities. β
Mrs. Tai glanced back at him.
"It could be a paranormal event. Donglin orphan Xu Le. and Xu Le, a squatting soldier from the capital's star circle. Two people indeed. It's just that their appearance and temperament are too similar. And...... The names also happen to coincide. β
After Steward Jin said this. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. This is indeed a ridiculous statement. But the question is the second speculation he's going to do next. In his opinion. It's about as ridiculous as a paranormal event.
"Sixty-five years of the Constitutional Calendar. The Federation culls mechanic Yu Feng. The helper Xu Le died. And at the same time period. The squatting soldier Xu Le was discharged. Left the Donglin Region. Returned. Steward Jin said quietly: "These two things are too coincidental. So there's another possibility. Xu Le is the helper brought out by Yu Feng. It's just that he doesn't know by what means. I was able to reconstruct the file in the charter computer. The brilliance of the charter has been concealed. β
Steward Jin's brows furrowed. As a citizen of the Commonwealth. He really felt that the possibility was zero. And if you want to do that. Unless Xu Le can ...... I changed the chip on the back of the neck. However, this possibility is even more than he wants to think about. Mrs. Tai commanded calmly.
She won't be like Steward Jin. Alarmed by the possibility of a chip swapper in the Federation who can stand up to the glory of the Charter. Because she had known such an amazing man many years ago. On the same day, on the lakeside of Mochou Mountain. The moment I saw that little blue light instrument. The most powerful lady in the Federation has basically determined Xu Le's origin. It's just that she hasn't determined Xu Le's life and death yet.
"If it's the second possibility. I recommend notifying the federal government immediately. Steward Jin lowered his head. Said softly. In Ewha University. He followed Tai Zhiyuan and had several contacts with Xu Le. This old man who has served the Tai family for many years. I have a good impression of the clean-hearted, dusty little guy. But he knows better. If things are as Madame had speculated. The abilities that this little guy possesses. It seems that the very basis of the Federation's existence has been endangered.
"He's a first-order party. If the family wants to keep him. In the future, once the matter is revealed. Families will face unprecedented pressure from the federal government. The most critical thing is. The wrath of the Charter Bureau. It's up to us to bear the burden. β
Mrs. Tai was silent for a long time. (To be continued.)
