Chapter 269: Moths and Fire
Chapter 269
Speaking of this, Wei Qian slowed down his voice, "Master Peng still don't care about this case for the time being." β
"No!" Peng You flatly refused.
Wei Qian's action of lifting the teapot paused slightly, and then poured Cui Ning a cup of hot tea, and then said unhurriedly, "This is my decision, not to discuss with you." I have informed Your Majesty that the case will be transferred directly to the Supervision Division. β
Peng You's eyes were about to split, and his expression seemed to hate to tear Wei Qian apart with his bare hands.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, as if the breathing sound could explode if it was a little louder, and Cui Ning couldn't help but hold her breath.
She lives by herself, so she still wants to give him a chance to take revenge with her own hands, but Wei Qian has made a decision, and she will not have any objections.
Being too rational is almost ruthless, in the eyes of many people, Wei Qian is a cold person, but Cui Ning knows that on the contrary, he has justice in his heart and is full of blood, and there must be a reasonable reason for suddenly excluding Peng You.
Today, Peng You is just sharp, not very rational, in fact, he has not done anything wrong, Cui Ning is just worried that he will once again substitute this irrationality into solving the case, Cui Ning secretly thought, the fifth brother did not object to Peng You's participation in solving the case before, how could he suddenly make such a decision now? Could it be ......
Wei Qian didn't say anything more, and after a long time, Peng You's anger gradually declined.
He turned his head and stared out the window at the white shadow in the distance.
Cui Ning wanted to ask Wei Qian, but Peng You didn't leave, so she had to keep drinking tea to block her mouth, lest she couldn't help but blurt out the question.
Wei Qian didn't rush him, but only asked the messenger to go back to change Cui Ning's clothes.
The house was warm, and it was raining outside at night, and Cui Ning fell asleep unconsciously with questions in her heart.
Chengfu Garden.
Cheng Yujing sat in the pavilion in a green shirt, the stove in front of him was boiling, and the teapot water developed a sharp sound, but he didn't realize it, he pinched a note and looked at it attentively, and the maid on his side peeked a few times, but finally didn't dare to remind him.
After a while, he laughed.
The laughter suddenly broke the silence of the rainy night, and the maid was also startled, and then slowly exhaled a breath, and was about to speak, but he suddenly asked, "Ah Yan, how did you say Yang Purlin died?"
The maidservant who was called "Ah Yan" was slightly stunned, and heard Cheng Yujing say very casually, "I suspect that I killed him, ha, how can I be willing to be such a capable deputy?"
He raised his eyes slightly, looked at Ah Yan, and his expression seemed to be very bitter, "I, the Suzhou Thorn Shidang, is more idle than the hermit, I thought that they all knew my heart, why did Yang Purlin die, the first one doubted me?
Ah Yan bowed down, sweating profusely in an instant, thinking of the last and last maid beside him who disappeared inexplicably, and his heart was also very bitter. If she could, she really wanted to tell him out loud, "Yes, you are more than they think", but she didn't dare, not only didn't dare, but she didn't even dare to take a breath at this time.
There were always some whimsical maidservants who heard his words, thought that they were quite trusted, and wanted to say something to relieve him, and even wanted to do something for him, but then they were gone. Ah Yan didn't know if they were dead or sold, but most of them wouldn't end well.
She stayed by Cheng Yujing's side for a long time, and because she always treated herself as air, often when he said these words, he didn't need any response.
"It's really sad. Cheng Yujing sighed and slowly passed the note into the furnace.
Ah Yan, who was lying on the ground, only felt a breeze blowing, she raised her eyes slightly, and realized that there was an extra pair of black boots in front of herβthere was an extra person in the pavilion out of thin air.
She didn't dare to move, and listened to an unfamiliar voice report to Cheng Yujing about the whereabouts of the inspector and the progress of the case.
"Wei Changyuan didn't participate?" Cheng Yujing raised his eyebrows.
"Yes. "That's human.
"Someone wanted to fight him, but he didn't answer. Cheng Yujing suddenly became happy, "Interesting, interesting." β
He raised his hand slightly.
The man exited the gazebo and disappeared into the rainy night.
"I still have to sing this play. Cheng Yujing said, and then said in a low voice, "Lord Xiao Cui is also very interesting." β
Ah Yan's body stiffened slightly, and every time he told a secret, she felt that she was one step closer to disappearing, although she felt that she couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
The sky is slightly bright.
The white horse at the entrance of the alley was still stubbornly standing in the rain, drenched in the rain, and was anxiously turning in circles.
There was a "bang" in the corner teahouse.
Cui Ning sat up straight and opened his eyes, and saw Peng You with a black face, got up and brushed his sleeves away.
"What's going on?" she was suddenly awakened, and her mind was dazed, and she couldn't help but shake her head.
It turned out that Peng You still refused to leave after dissipating his anger, and Cha Cui Ning fell asleep again, so Wei Qian pulled him to play chess. The two fought silently on the chessboard, and Peng You was abused to death and came back to life, vividly interpreting what it means to be "dying and struggling" all night.
There was a faint light in the sky, and he couldn't bear to throw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard.
"Let's go. Wei Qian helped her tidy up her sleeping hair, "It's almost time, go back and make up for sleep." β
Cui Ning nodded obediently and followed him downstairs.
The rain outside has stopped, the air is filled with heavy water vapor, the smoke and rain are hazy, and the white walls of Daiwa seem to be soaked in ink.
Cui Ning saw Peng You standing silently in front of the white horse from a distance.
When he got closer, Cui Ning had to disturb him loudly, "Judicial Peng, Cirrus will trouble you to take it back to the official stable." β
"Hmm. Peng You stretched out his hand and touched the cirrus cloud, and said in a dumb voice, "The person you are waiting for will never come, let's go." β
A calm and quiet sentence, but it makes people hear the illusion of heartbreaking.
Cui Ning sighed and returned to the yamen side by side with Wei Qian.
When he returned to the house and retired everyone, Cui Ning couldn't wait to ask, "Fifth brother, why did you suddenly stop Peng's judicial participation?"
Wei Qian looked at her sparkling eyes, knowing that it would be impossible for her to make up for sleep if she didn't make it clear, "Like you said, he made mistakes three times and twice, which made people wonder if he was involved in the murder. β
"I'm just angry. Cui Ning thought about it carefully and denied this statement, "Even if he is unfortunate enough to be said by me, he will not use such inferior means." β
Wei Qian's eyes were filled with a smile, "His state is not suitable to continue to participate in solving the case, and besides, judging from the current situation, his suspicion cannot be completely ruled out." β
"But he ......"
Wei Qian raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I forgot the teachings of the fifth brother. Cui Ning sneered, "Before the facts of the case are known, anyone has the possibility of committing a crime." β
"It's not too late to remember. Wei Qian touched her head, and said slowly, "People have seven emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, desire, Buddha, Taoism, Confucianism all seek peace, everything is too taboo, this world, not necessarily everything to the extreme, too affectionate people are easy to be paranoid, can not stand things, if they are ecstatic, lose grief and want to die, frightened and heartbroken, but in the face of ups and downs, life is better than death." The reason why people learn so many truths is so that they are not trapped by instinct, and they don't have to live like moths clinging to fire, and their lives are short and boring. β
Cui Ning was stunned for a moment before she realized that his words were comforting her.
"Ah Ning, the moth that loves fire but doesn't let go of itself is really brave. He said.
