Chapter 140: We Are All Afraid of Death
Xu Yue.
Lu Yan'er.
Sunrise Excalibur.
The Great Day Pure World Flame.
East, West, cause and effect.
These things were hovering in Wei Lai's mind like a mess, so that Wei Lai had no thoughts of returning home to rest.
He also knew that it was impossible to figure out these things in a short period of time, and he didn't even have a clue how to start.
He frowned and thought for a while, then simply walked towards the west of Ning Xiao City.
......
Spiegel Hall.
Located in the west of Ningxiao City, it was the official residence directly under the state governor's mansion.
The institution responsible for hearing important cases in Ningxiaocheng and Ningzhou.
And the assassination case of the eldest princess of Da Chu is obviously a case of the highest level, so Ma Yuanting, who is the person involved, is naturally detained here.
When Wei Lai walked into the main hall of the Spiegel Hall, Xiao Mu was already interrogating Ma Yuanting.
"Say, what's going on?" Xiao Mu asked sharply.
Ma Yuanting stood there proudly, tilted his head and replied coldly: "The eldest princess was assassinated in your Ningzhou, you don't want to look for a spy in your Ningzhou, but you came to try me?"
"I'm Admiral Da Chu, why are you trying me?"
Ma Yuanting's attitude was bad, Xiao Mu had already asked him for a quarter of an hour, but Ma Yuanting's answers were almost the same - oil and salt did not enter, and they were high.
Rao is an indifferent person like Xiao Mu, and he can't help frowning.
At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wei Lai, who had already entered the main hall, and subconsciously wanted to get up, but Wei Lai gave him a look.
Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know what Wei Lai was planning, he still sat back on the main seat again, and continued to interrogate: "Ma Yuanting!
"Longhu Villa in Baihu City, Tongque Tower in Xiyu Town, Wind and Rain Pavilion in Yumin City, Pinghaixuan in Wave City, ......"
Xiao Mu turned to say again: "Do you remember these places?"
Hearing those names, Ma Yuanting's face changed slightly, and he replied: "What kind of place is this, there are so many restaurants and inns that Ma has been to, can you remember anywhere?"
"Can't remember?" Xiao Mu sneered: "These are all inns you have been to since entering Ningzhou, General Ma has forgotten a lot of things, it has only been a few days, and you have forgotten it in a blink of an eye?"
After all, Ma Yuanting is a man who has become a general, and his heart has his own extraordinary, and he has adjusted his mood in a short period of time, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Your inn restaurant in Ningzhou is not a little worse than my Da Chu, and there is nothing special, how can you let me remember?"
Xiao Mu's brows furrowed even deeper, although he suspected that Ma Yuanting had something to do with this matter, and the other party's attitude after Li Chenghuang was dragged into the abyss of sin did well support his guess, but because there was no direct evidence, it was difficult for him to convict the other party with this. In addition, the identity of the other party is special, if no evidence can be found, it is impossible for him to detain the other party for a long time.
And once Ma Yuanting returned to Dachu, with the resentment he showed towards Ningzhou, he only had to say something in front of the Great Chu court, which would be a catastrophe for Ningzhou.
Xiao Mu was thinking about this, but a voice said
Suddenly, it came.
"General Ma is different from them. ”
Xiao Mu and Ma Yuanting were both stunned, together with the jurors around the main hall and the officials who recorded the confessions, they all looked sideways, but saw that the person who spoke was Wei Lai.
Xiao Mu was not surprised, but Ma Yuanting's face changed slightly-he knew very well what kind of trouble Li Chenghuang would encounter in the Great Abyss according to the plan of the adult, but Wei Lai could take the other party to escape from the Great Abyss and ascend to heaven, this was something that Ma Yuanting had never thought about before, and he couldn't help but be a little jealous of what means Wei Lai was hiding.
"What do you mean?" Ma Yuanting asked with deep eyes, although he tried his best to show the same calm as before, but the slight frown still revealed the anxiety in his heart at the moment.
Wei Lai didn't answer Ma Yuanting's question at the first time, he walked up to Ma Yuanting with steps, squinted his eyes and looked at him with an inexplicable smile for a while.
After that, he said, "General Ma and those assassins are not fellow travelers, are they?"
Ma Yuanting thought that Wei Lai would say something shocking to force him to comply, but he didn't want to say it.
He couldn't help but hesitate, he didn't think that Wei Lai would let him go so easily, or rather, he instinctively felt that there was fraud in this.
"My duty is to protect Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, before leaving, I made a military order in front of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess makes a mistake, Ma will definitely apologize with death. ”
"I have a grudge against those assassins, how can I be a member of the road?"
Ma Yuanting asked in a deep voice.
He tried his best to consider his words, not only to make his position clear, but also not to let Wei Lai find the slightest mistake in his wording.
Although he didn't have much contact with the young Wei king, a certain intuition told him that he needed to be careful with the person in front of him.
"General Ma will be mistaken. But Wei Lai still shook his head, and he said, "General Ma has seen those assassins who used secret methods to drag me and the eldest princess into the Great Abyss, but he didn't hesitate at all when he used that method. ”
"The Determination They Have to Die......"
"And the eldest princess and I also encountered some assassins in the Great Abyss, and they are almost the same as the previous assassins in Ningxiao City. ”
"Sparing his life, with a clear goal, it is obviously a dead soldier cultivated by some organization. Wei Lai said this, looking at Ma Yuanting, there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.
"So what? Do you think I'm one of them. Ma Yuanting couldn't figure out Wei Lai's routine, so he could only become more and more vigilant.
"Of course General Ma is not. Wei Lai said.
"Then you still won't let me go!?" Ma Yuanting couldn't stand Wei Lai's strange attitude, and he didn't want to go around with it anymore, so his voice raised several times, so he said loudly at that time.
Wei Lai ignored Ma Yuanting's shouting, he continued to speak to himself: "Whether the other party is a dead soldier or not, it is only two reasons why a person can be driven to accomplish something without fear of death, one is that there is some coercion that endangers his parents, wife and children, or there must be something that is right or wrong, but for themselves, it is an extremely noble faith. ”
"General Ma's wife and children are in the Great Chu King City, and I think that no one in the north dares to be in the Great Chu King City for no reason
Assassinate the family of a court official. And as for faith?" Wei said this intentionally, and glanced at Ma Yuanting: "I don't think General Ma is such a fanatical person. ”
"So, I said that General Ma is not the same as them. ”
Ma Yuanting frowned and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about......"
In fact, he didn't understand, even Xiao Mu, who had experienced a lot of things with Wei Lai, didn't understand what Wei Lai was talking to Ma Yuanting at the moment, or he didn't understand the meaning of what he said to Ma Yuanting.
"I mean, I don't know what General Ma did for doing this, but it must not be for some noble vision, or for the sake of his wife and children being coerced. ”
"Then General Ma is doing this for himself, and in the final analysis, it is nothing more than money, power, and cultivation. ”
"And the person who wants these things must first have a life to enjoy them, so ...... General Ma is afraid of death, right?" Wei Lai asked, squinting his eyes.
Ma Yuanting was stunned again when he heard this, he subconsciously took a step back, looked at Wei Lai's eyes with extremely vigilant eyes, and said in his mouth: "What do you want to do?!I am the commander of Da Chu, you don't have the slightest evidence, just rely on your own conjecture, you want to kill me?!"
"General Ma overestimated me. Wei said that a hand stretched out and pointed towards Ma Yuanting, and a spiritual power rushed out from his fingertips and went towards Ma Yuanting.
Ma Yuanting's body subconsciously took a step back, wanting to dodge, but this reaction was really too slow, as soon as he retreated, the surging spiritual power broke the shackles on Ma Yuanting's hand and shattered it.
This kind of behavior made Ma Yuanting stunned, and at the same time made Xiao Mu very surprised.
He didn't understand what Wei Lai was doing this for? At this time, letting Ma Yuanting go is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and in the future, when Da Chu blames it, Ningzhou may not be able to afford it.
Also surprised was Ma Yuanting, who was the person concerned, who looked at his hands unshackled in disbelief, and only came back to his senses after a while.
He looked at Wei Lai with heavy eyes and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
At that moment, his mind flashed with the thought of seeking more - a bitter plan, a desire to get away with it, or was there some other conspiracy?
"I know what General Ma is thinking, and I think that Wei Lai must have some conspiracy to release you, but whether General Ma believes it or not, you can walk out of the Spiegel Hall now and go to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to be reinstated. And General Ma also has to go, and if he doesn't go, he has to go. Wei Lai said.
"Why?" asked Ma Yuanting in shock.
Wei came to Ma Yuanting and said, "Just like General Ma said, Ningzhou is just an ant that can be pinched to death at any time for Da Chu. If an official of Great Chu does not understand that he died in Ningzhou's edict, Ningzhou would not be able to afford the wrath of Great Chu. Wei Lai was also afraid of death, so he could only let General Ma go. ”
When Ma Yuanting heard this, his heart became more and more confused, and he asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"
"Oh!" Wei Lai's face showed a sudden look when he heard this, he slapped his head and said, "It turns out that Commander Xiao hasn't told General Ma yet!"
"The restaurant inns that Commander Xiao and General Ma said just now, when we sent someone to check today, we got the news that in the restaurant inn, from the shopkeeper to the second child, all of them were killed at home......"
"No one was spared!"
