Lu Lingjun saw me looking at him: "What's wrong?"
I shook my head, "Then why didn't you keep pretending?"
Lu Lingjun said seriously: "Because you are here."
"I'm here, what does it have to do with you pretending to be?"
Lu Lingjun clenched his fist and propped his chin, and said, "Because...you will be sad."
I snorted and drooped my eyelids, "Hello."
"Aren't you crying?"
"That's normal for people." I choked, "It's all said to be more reliable when it comes to business..."
"I'm not fooling you." Lu Lingjun said with a smile: "Aren't you also killing yourself? When you heard the bad news about me, didn't you come here regardless?"
I rubbed my eyebrows, "You're too embarrassed to say..."
"So, any chance that has a mystery within a meticulous mind is often disrupted by a little chaotic song. In the end, the parties are just waiting for fate, and those smart bystanders will always think that these accidents are also the same. Those who are in the scheme, in the end, are clever but are mistaken by cleverness."
I was taken aback. Is Lu Lingjun implying something?
Lu Lingjun said proudly, "Is there a bit of Zen?"
I said, "I'm thinking, how on earth did you shift the topic to dealing with people."
The development of the situation became more and more elusive, Lu Lingjun caused such a catastrophe, and Wei Qingheng was busy dealing with the sinking of the ship. Now Guozijian is equivalent to supervising Nie Ran. Lu Lingjun cleans up well as an example.
Lu Lingjun himself obviously realized this, he simply said a few words and left in a hurry. As soon as he left, A Zuo came out from a shadow on the roof and knelt in front of me on one knee, saying: "My If you don't do things well, please punish the princess."
I said, "Mr. Tao doesn't mean that your ability to distinguish and analyze things is rare, and now you can't even tell whether Lu Lingjun is really dead or fake. Could it be that Tao Yuan is using the defective products of Mingjian Division to fool me?"
A Zuo raised his head in fear: "At that time, my subordinates did probe Lu Lingjun's pulse..."
"You took his pulse? With so many people around him, how did you get close to him?"
A Zuodao: "At that time, a prison student suddenly ran out of his room and shouted loudly because of his fright. The subordinate entered the room at which stall, and once confirmed, he rushed back to inform the princess..."
I raised my sleeves, "Wait."
In this way, there was at least an hour between when A Zuo discovered Lu Lingjun's "corpse" and when we arrived after hearing the wind. Although this process was not long, but... As the Imperial Child Supervisor, Siye was temporarily in charge of all supervisors, and Yuqíng Yuli Everyone should be at the scene as soon as possible, not to mention someone like Nie Ran who acts cautiously.
Unless... he knew that Lu Lingjun was killed.
Ah Zuo looked at me and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
I shook my head, was speechless for a while, and said, "It's none of your business, continue to hide."
Azuo: "..."
The punishment Lu Lingjun received was much more severe than I imagined.
A full 100 canes.
A hundred sticks can kill a person very likely. Even if the disaster does not die, he will hate him for life. If I didn't know that Lu Lingjun has strong internal strength, I am afraid that I would have to use the identity of the princess to save his life.
The supervisors of the Guangwen Pavilion knelt outside the pavilion and begged, but Nie Ran turned a blind eye.
It was raining in good time, and all the students from the Imperial Academy knelt outside the pavilion and begged for qíng. The whole scene was quite touching.
Yet I was not impressed at all.
It was precisely one of these people who wanted to put Lu Lingjun to death.
I walked around with an umbrella and turned around, trying to close my eyes all the way and go through the whole thing in my head, from Shen Fang to burning boats to assassins to the court and even to the Imperial Court, but I couldn’t do anything. String points into lines.
I knew in my heart that everything here must be related, and that there were clues that I didn't notice that was the key to uncovering the truth, but the more anxious I became, the more confused my thoughts became. , swept the leaves rustling down.
It was at this moment that I heard the sound of pacing behind me, I turned my head and saw Nie Ran also holding an umbrella, wearing a blue shirt as light as before, with a frowning smile on the corner of his mouth, I couldn't understand it at all.
Just as at a loss as to why he appeared in front of me at a time like this.
He smiled lightly: "I never thought you would appear in Guozijian at such a time."
I said: "Nie Siye can't think of things, and I can do things, there are many things."
Nie Ran smiled, but did not refute, and said, "I know."
How much does he know?
Just like how much Lu Lingjun knows, I don't know at all.
It seemed like I was stuck in a loop, and the people around me were always playing riddles with me, always watching my inexplicable inquiries and questions.
Thinking of this, I suddenly don't want to know anything, about yīn conspiracy, about the past.
I said, "Nie Siye, may I ask you a question?"
He looked at me, and there was no wave in his eyes.
"Are we going to be enemies?"
Nie Ran was stunned for a while, unexpectedly noncommittal, so it was more like a default.
I took a deep breath: "Ask yourself, I think I'm a good person, even though the world can't be described in a single word, at least I still know what I'm doing, if you are my enemy, it's because position, or because you are a villain?"
Nie Ran was obviously stunned by the word "wicked", and couldn't help laughing, "Now I don't know that apart from the script, there are people who use such words to evaluate the people in this court."
But I didn't follow his words and said, "You don't have to talk about him."
Nie Ran raised her eyebrows and looked at me, standing for a long time without saying a word.
I waited, and suddenly felt that my actions were really naive, so I smiled and shrugged, not wanting Nie Ran to finally say, "Or in your opinion, I'm not a good person."
I turned my head to look at him, and the corner of Nie Ran's mouth twitched upwards.
I can't help but think of Xu Fang. When Xu Fang laughs, the corners of his lips are always up at the same time. When he is happy, he will open his lips. However, Nie Ran always only likes to move his right lip, as if he is posing a certain kind of attitude.
It turns out that memory can really change a person.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart for a few rounds. Sometimes the more I know a person, the more unfamiliar I feel. It's not like Song Langsheng. Whenever I think about a little bit about my past and his past, I'm afraid to think of more, for fear of knowing. The more you do, the more it will happen in the end.
When Nie Ran saw that I hadn't said anything yet, and he was about to say something, I cut him off, "It's all about this, so I don't have anything to worry about anymore."
Nie Ran gave me a suspicious look.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, "If Nie Siye wants to take advantage of our little past to take advantage of me, then let me advise you, it's unclear who is fooling who."
I looked at him: "You clearly know what happened to us in Chenjia Village, but you always put on a posture that you don't want to know and don't want to recall. Do you know Nie Siye? This is unreasonable. People who are boring and uninteresting are not disinterested in themselves, let alone a 'chaotang' person like you who needs to know everything and do everything step by step. I'm afraid... I am friendly with the past of those who have pulled the scum from the side, as long as you can ask You know it, you know it all."
Nie Ran's eyes snapped at those words.
"So I've been thinking, what exactly do you want? What is your purpose? If I were you, what would I do?" I tilted my head and spread my hands, "I can't guess, I can only I ordered someone to go back to Chenjia Village to find clues... You said it was a coincidence that after I was assassinated in the woods and swept away by the river, some villagers saw Xu Fang and went back."
Nie Ran's alert eyes moved slightly.
"It's you who will go back." I pointed at him and said, "I also doubted for a while, whether even Xu Fang was your Nie Ran's disguise, or whether the old Wenqing was just for the future. And the set up..."
Speaking of this, Nie Ran raised a somewhat interested look in his eyes, "In the end, yes, or no?"
I put down my sleeves and took a deep breath, "He's him, you're you."
Nie Ran asked, "Why?"
I heard my own voice saying, "One day, if you can restore some memories that belong to Xu Fang, maybe you will be able to know my 'how to see'. But..." I said: "I would rather this day never come. ."
Speaking of which, when I saw a prisoner approaching not far ahead, I bowed to Nie Ran according to the etiquette of teachers and students, took two steps, but heard him say something indifferently behind him: "Even if Xu Fang comes back, You are no longer the gentleman you used to be."
When I heard the last name, my heart skipped a beat, and I was stunned for a while. When I turned around, Nie Ran had already gone away, leaving behind a back like a sycamore tree in autumn.
The moment he returned to the room and closed the door, Ah Zuo jumped off the beam and said solemnly, "Princess, something big has happened in the court."
I didn't come back to my senses for a while, and Ah You jumped in from the window again and said, "Princess, something happened in the house too."
Dare, these two went back and forth to find out what was going on outside while I was hanging out for a while.
I motioned for them to get up and answer: "Ayou first, what happened in the mansion?"
Ah Youdao: "The Princess' Mansion has been sealed off by the capital's yamen, everyone in the mansion has been detained, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Presumably the concubine had already recognized that the corpse by the river was the 'Princess'. The Princess of the Kingdom of Prison was assassinated, so it was natural to start the investigation from the mansion. However, although this case was investigated by Shen Rong, the stakes are very important, and I am afraid that the Dali Temple Inspectorate of the Ministry of Justice cannot stand by...
I nodded slightly and asked Ah Zuo, "Did you say that this is the reason for the incident in the DPRK?"
A Zuo nodded and said cautiously: "I can't tell what the chaos in the DPRK is like for a while, but I only know one of them. When the prince heard that the princess was killed, he fainted on the spot and was unconscious. Large and small affairs are temporarily presided over by the two capitals of the cabinet; secondly, some people have seen the consort Song Langsheng appearing by the river bank before the princess's 'kill', and the suspicion is difficult to clear.
I was hanged in my heart. Song Langsheng secretly left Beijing to investigate the case before, and now he is secretly repatriated until he met Shen Fang and rescued me. All these joints are difficult to explain, and the current situation is inevitable.
A Zuo asked, "Should the princess appear at the court immediately, help the prince, rescue the concubine, and then make plans?"
I sat down and thought for a while, then stood up and paced back and forth, then stood still for a moment, and finally shook my head.
Azuo Ayou looked at me suspiciously.
Since someone wants to kill me, I can't avoid it again and again, and I can only face the enemy head-on.
I said, "It's time to get down and clean up this mess."
Chapter 27
A Zuo frowned: "What's the meaning of what the princess said?"
I picked up the book with needles on the table, shook it in front of Azuo A's right, and asked, "If someone secretly uses such poisonous needles on you, can you avoid it?"
The two of them looked at each other tacitly and said in unison, "It's difficult."
I put the book on the table: "You are shadow guards trained by Mingjian Division for many years.
