Chapter 408 Origin of Killing Thoughts
The sun is shining and the cotton clouds are blooming. After driving for several miles, they entered Bianliang City. In the noisy pre-festival scene, Zhou Pei was sitting in the palace's carriage in front, and Ning Yi, Yao Zunian, and Cheng Zhouhai were sitting in the carriage driven by Dongzhu behind them. Chatting all the time. Along the way, Ning Yi kept clasping his hands, with the fingers of his left hand pressed on the tiger's mouth of his right hand seemingly unintentionally. When he passed a restaurant, he let go and said with a smile: "It happens to be lunch time. If you two have nothing to do, why not come together?" How about we go have lunch, have a cup of tea and chat some more, and have some fun next time?”
The pain in the tiger’s mouth that was caused by the previous fight with Lu Qian was only now completely gone.
In fact, many of the swords and swords at this time may not be as sharp as the machetes of later generations, which are famous for their high-quality steel. It may be sharp. To say that cutting iron is like mud is definitely an exaggeration. Ning Yi and Lu Qian cut off the guard's simple knife in one stroke. They both used great strength. When it comes to martial arts, Ning Yi is naturally not as good as Lu Qian. During the fight, he even brought out the lime bag and the knife. After it was broken, the tiger's mouth was slightly strained. The injury was normal, but it took so long to fully recover.
The second collision with Gao Muen was sudden and immediate, but it was not in any of Ning Yi's previous expectations. He was thinking about this along the way, but he didn't show it in front of Yao Zunian and Cheng Zhouhai.
Then the little princess's carriage was stopped here, and a group of four people went to the restaurant next door to have a meal. Zhou Pei was also there, and only in the year of Yaozu did he explain in detail what happened in that villa. Read it again.
"...Speaking of which, this matter should have been approved by Li Heng, but the timing was perfect. I also discussed with Prime Minister Qin that these poems by Li Heng should not be left in the dust, but should be famous. , I still have to get it. After this incident, I believe these poems will be passed down. Well, there won’t be many people who dare to question Li Heng, and there will be less unnecessary trouble.”
Among the staff in the Qin Mansion, Cheng Zhouhai is in his thirties and is comparable to Ning Yi. Yao Zunian, who was in his fifties, was considered an old man at this time. He said that he was a peer of Ning Yi in terms of knowledge, and the other party did not put on airs, but in actual dealings, Ning Yi still had to maintain respect. At this time, old people like Yao Zunian and Qin Siyuan who studied Confucianism were sincere in their cultivation, support and help to the younger generations they recognized. Ning Yi was not a middle school boy, so he could certainly see clearly. Thank you now.
"So much less trouble. If Nian Gong hadn't come forward this time, they wouldn't believe it if I told him."
"Haha, it's a small matter to show your hand, and you can build your talents with perseverance. , I’m just the icing on the cake. It’s a pity that after Li Heng left, I couldn’t hear Ms. Shishi’s audition of “Wang Hai Chao”..."
Seeing Ning Yi's approval, Yao Zunian changed the subject and talked about Li Shishi's singing skills with a smile. Ning Yi was listening there. In fact, he could think of another meaning.
The idea of publishing these poems must have been discussed with Qin Siyuan during the reign of Yao Zu. They are upright scholars. Of course they do not want the names of young talents to be buried, but on the other hand, it is because of the Ba Dao Camp.
Ning Yi originally wrote these poems for Liu Xigua, who wanted to be in the limelight. After that, he had no intention of taking them back. But then the city of Hangzhou was destroyed and the Ba Dao Camp was transferred. Ning Yi participated in it, and the ties were broken. Wenren Buer knows these things, and Qin Siyuan must also know it. Fang La has been defeated, and tens of hundreds of thousands of people have fled. They may not really care about a cottage being let go. But knowledge and acquiescence does not mean support. The publication of these poems is to characterize and draw clarifications. This has the meaning of protection and reminder.
Even if someone finds out something later, the higher-ups also know about Ning Yi and the copycat. And a little reminder and clarification means: your things should not be given to them.
It doesn’t matter if these things can be more or less understood by each other and are of goodwill. After that, Yao Zunian talked about the astonished expressions of everyone in the gathering. Ning Yi and others were also interested in hearing it. Maybe tomorrow, the matter will spread throughout Bianliang, and maybe someone will come to Wenhui Tower to visit. Ning Yi thinks about it It's a bit of a headache.
Among them, Yao Zunian was originally a calm character, and Cheng Zhouhai had a slightly angry temper. But this time it was Yao Zunian who seemed happy, while Cheng Zhouhai just smiled and occasionally agreed, without knowing what he was thinking in his heart. What, maybe something good happened. There are many unspeakable things in the Secret Investigation Department, and no one is surprised.
Zhou Pei's expression was not very sad at this time. He wanted to say something to Ning Yi, but Yao and Cheng were nearby and didn't know what to say, but Ning Yi also wanted to be famous. After all, he was interested in this matter and asked Yao Zunian about this and that. Soon after, Ning Yi smiled and asked about Princess Qing and others, and she told in detail what happened in the palace these days...
At the same time, Ning Yi and others Already had lunch at the restaurant here, drank tea and chatted. In another restaurant room in Bianliang City, someone was throwing plates on the floor after having had enough wine and food.
"Lu Qian - I can't bear this breath! That guy...who the hell is that guy! He threatened me! How dare he threaten me! My father is Gao Qiuai - you guys These guys are the same, they don’t live up to expectations at all——"
Gao Yanei, who had eaten, cursed and swept the plates around him to the ground, then picked up the bowls and chopsticks and threw them at the surrounding guards.
"Forget it if you can't beat them! Forget it if you don't take action! I just remembered that we didn't fucking say anything! Why didn't you talk? We didn't even say a harsh word when we left! You guys, Are you still a bad guy? I have lost all my face to you! Lu Qian, where did you die?"
What happened at that time? The conflict in front of the villa, to be honest, really scared him at the time. If the other party was a desperado and wanted to fight hard, he wouldn't be in such a mood, but the other party's reaction at that time was simply an incomprehensible lunatic. , goosebumps rose up all over his body, and chills surged up from his tailbone. When he was let go, he didn't know what to do. Most of the house guards felt the same way at that time. They were waiting for Gao Muen to give a clearer order. However, the Yameni responded and just asked them to leave, so the group had no choice but to leave. At this time, they remembered that they had not left any harsh words. I am really upset that these house guards are in bad luck.
After cursing, Lu Qian, who had just left for a while, had also come in. He ran to Lu Qian and spread his hands.
"You are finally willing to come here! Let me tell you, now that I have lost all my face, I can't live anymore! Lu Qian, tell me, are you unable to fuck that guy!"
Lu Qian lowered his head: "It's not that I can't beat him when I return to the Yameni, it's just that this person's methods are weird. When the fight started, and the Yameni was present, I'm afraid I won't be able to guard against him..."
"I! Just! Know! I've already died once!" Gao Mu'en turned around and jumped on a chair, "He came over like that and hugged me. Goosebumps appeared all over my body. He was there. Say what you say... Lu Qian, he is telling me, you are dead! You are dead! Lu Qian, don't you understand? This is too much. I'm just I want to get to know his friends—girlfriends! I’m just being friends with them, and I didn’t do anything wrong... Lu Qian, tell me, he’s not really difficult to deal with!”
Lu Qian was silent for a moment: "We still don't know his full background. But looking at the way he acts, to be honest, it's very troublesome."
"Even you said so." Gao Yanei looked at him with a sad face.
"Subordinate, tell the truth."
"Then quickly check his background! First see if we can afford to offend him! Then we will see if there is anything we can do , If he is pretentious, I will kill him. Ah, I am not happy! I want a woman——"
Recalling his entanglement and cowardice at that time, and the ugly appearance of running away, Gao Muen couldn't stand it and started making a noise. Lu Qian nodded, turned around and went out again.
*****************
We spent the afternoon drinking tea and chatting in the restaurant. After a while, the weather became cooler. The four of them went down to the teahouse and said goodbye to each other.
Yao Zunian and Cheng Zhouhai left first, and then Ning Yi sent Zhou Pei to the carriage. Zhou Pei felt complicated about today's events, but he had nothing more to say: "Teacher, we will meet tomorrow Are you going to see the dragon boat? "
"I will probably go and see it." There are more and more things to do. I don’t know when it will be completed, but Xiaochan Yunzhu Jiner is here to do the dragon boat festival. Competition, Ning Yi will still take time to accompany everyone to go out and see.
"Then...I will be on the viewing platform set up in front...Teacher, remember to call me..." She smiled shyly. When the carriage came, she said goodbye and got on the bus. Then, because of something, she couldn't bear it. Turning back: "Teacher?"
" Huh?"
"Uh..." Zhou Pei thought for a while and finally shook his head, "It's okay, I'm leaving... I'll see you tomorrow, teacher."
Said softly. After that, she entered the carriage and lowered the curtain.
Ning Yi watched the car drive away, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
He did not mention Gao Muen's affairs in front of Yao and Cheng.
In Bianliang City, whether it is Xiaochan or Yunzhu Jiner, even if you leave by yourself, you can ask the Prime Minister's Office or the Secret Investigation Department to take care of you. In theory, there is no problem with safety. He won't worry too much just because of what Gao Mu'en said today. The other party is a bit messy, but he may not be a real ruthless person. Putting aside the background of both parties, at least Lu Qian's side will know not to do anything. The family members of the prime minister's staff have a completely different meaning than the family members of a Forbidden Army leader with no background.
But even if he understands this and a conflict has arisen, he will not be defenseless. If he can do something, he will consider doing something. Even though he didn't know exactly where in the city Gao Mu'en was considering killing himself at this time, a similar situation would definitely happen, and it would be time to investigate the background later. If possible, he was still willing to make things safer. , such as eradicating lesions.
If we can find a good way, we will kill this guy, he thought in his heart. Of course, he doesn't have much available power in the capital at the moment, and it's not easy for this matter to go through the Secret Investigation Department for the time being. Whether it's feasible or not, we have to collect intelligence first, and then see if we can find loopholes. These things... I'm afraid... We can only look for Master Li.
What kind of news you will get, whether it is possible or not, depends on luck, but at the very least, you should be prepared for this kind of thing and make more preparations. But as a result, there are indeed more and more things piled on my hands. Thinking about it like this, I have to sigh in my heart.
But at this moment, even he had never thought about what kind of movements and changes this sudden and imminent small conflict would bring in the future, the waves it would cause, and the tangible or intangible impacts it would have. It sprouted from this incident and directly or indirectly affected countless lives for more than ten years or even decades. When he thought of these things many years later and traced them back to their inadvertent origins, he could only sigh softly and smile sadly.
At this time, the cotton clouds blocked the sky and the sky was not visible. On the other side of the screen, Yao Zunian and Cheng Zhouhai were driving through the streets and back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cheng Zhouhai sat there with his head down and thinking, with a smile on his face. At a certain moment, he opened the curtain and stopped the carriage.
"Suddenly I remembered that there are still some things to be done. Mr. Nian will go back to the prime minister's house first. The disciples may have to take a walk and go back after finishing the things."
Yao Zunian nodded. It's not clear what Cheng Zhouhai was thinking along the way, but of course he didn't think of it suddenly, but he had no interest in delving into it, nodded and smiled, and said goodbye.
As the carriage drove away, Cheng Zhouhai looked at the pedestrians on the street, then chose a direction and walked leisurely through the city streets...
***************
The weather was overcast. Zhou Pei returned to the palace room, dismissed the maid, closed the door, and plopped down on the bed, putting her head on the bed. He lay under the quilt for a moment, then picked up the round and long pillow and sat up on his knees.
She looked at the pillow seriously, then hugged it with both hands, moved her head and leaned against the side of the pillow. If someone saw it at this time, they might think that her expression and eyes were strange.
"You don't know who I am... Why are you doing this... Do you know that the first time I saw you, I knew we could be friends... You let me down so much..."
She finished speaking in a low, slow and nervous tone, raising her chin and looking coldly. After a while, he changed his posture and expression slightly, and said cruel words that he had heard or imagined in his mind. Holding the pillow, I thought, the teacher is really amazing.
She lay down on the bed, then turned over, staring at the ceiling with her mouth open and sighing, and spent a long time rolling around on the bed.
When the lovely rolling finally stopped, she lay on her back, raised the pillow in her hand, and looked at it with cold eyes for a long time.
"You are so damned..." She tilted her head and murmured, then hugged the pillow again and began to recall what she had seen. Until...the maid came and knocked on the door.
"Your Highness the Princess."
"What is it?"
"There is a Mr. Cheng asking to see you."
"Ah? Mr. Cheng?"
"He is a scholar in his thirties. He said his name is Cheng Zhouhai and that His Highness the Princess knows him. "
"Uh..." Zhou Pei was stunned. She was stunned. They separated not long ago. She had met this Cheng Zhouhai before. She didn't talk much along the way today. Apart from a few words on the way to Bieyuan, the two of them didn't talk much. He Why do you have to come to the palace to visit yourself here alone? He was confused in his heart, but he naturally asked the maid to bring the person in and then serve him refreshments. After sitting down, Zhou Pei asked about the other party's purpose. Cheng Zhouhai took a sip of tea, and then looked at the maid in the room with a smile.
"You go down first, Mr. Cheng and I have something to say." Zhou Peiping retired the maid, and a moment after the door closed, Cheng Zhouhai put down his tea cup and stood up. Knowing his identity as a staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Pei had no ill feelings towards him. He saw Cheng Zhouhai walking to the door, opening the door and taking another look outside. After making sure that no one was there, he closed it: "Come here this time, it's really... I have something important to discuss with Your Highness the Princess. Of course, if I make a mistake, please treat Your Highness the Princess as if you have never heard of it.”
"Mr. Cheng, it doesn't matter, Zhou Pei knows the pros and cons." The fifteen-year-old girl replied with a smile.
Cheng Zhouhai turned around and looked at her for a long moment: "Your Highness, do you want to take action against Gao Yanei?"
"Ah?" Zhou Pei was stunned. He was stunned, and after a while, "Mr. Cheng...why did you say that?"
Cheng Zhouhai, who looked at her expression carefully, laughed again: "The princess saw that thing while hiding behind the carriage today. At that time, Cheng happened to be behind and saw the whole situation. "Process."
Zhou Pei's expression fluctuated, and his face gradually turned red. Fortunately, Cheng Zhouhai did not look at her at this time, but bowed slightly: "Cheng just wanted to say that I have been in the Secret Investigation Department for many years. , regarding the incident in Bianliang, that Huahua Taisui is well known for his bad deeds. If Your Highness the Princess wants to take action against Huahua Taisui, but you don’t know how to do it for a while, Cheng can help Your Highness to help Bianliang City... get rid of this harm!"
