Chapter 51: Bait

Anyone who knows how to fish knows that it takes a lot of patience to be able to endure inner anxiety and anxiety, irritability and impulsiveness, and desire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut that's not all, if you want to catch a fish, you need an indispensable necessity - bait. Different fish need different baits, and sometimes even the same kind of fish need several kinds of bait - because of their cunning and because of their strong struggle.

Sometimes, even if you do the most sure thing, or after careful calculation, you will feel a little uneasy, some worry, doubt, and apprehension, and there will always be a very frightened thought wandering in your heart, and even that picture will appear, maybe because you are too careful to have this or that kind of thoughts and imagination, in fact, because of inner fear, doubt and inner denial; Or that terrible curiosity and imagination,

Although Liu Mocheng was lying on an extremely comfortable soft couch at the moment, the fragrance of the stove was circulating in his nose, which was originally a fragrance of quiet sleep, but it was of no use to Liu Mocheng at the moment. He tossed and turned on this couch, from side to side; He didn't dare to close his eyes, as long as his eyes were closed, there would be a picture in front of him that he didn't want to seeβ€”a picture that made his heart chill and his back sweaty: the things he had pursued all his life and cared about all the time slowly disappeared in front of his eyesβ€”as if beckoning to himself, hoping that he would leave them, but no matter how much he waved his hand and held back, the strong struggle was only in vain, and he could only watch them leave. It seems that at that moment, all I can do is watch them leave, enjoying the inner torment and helplessness...

What a terrible picture it is, terrible to think about, but I can't help but imagine it.

This is just the sight I dread the most, not the real future. Liu Mocheng constantly reminded himself in his heart: People always imagine what they are most afraid of in their hearts, and always think that it is the truth of the future, the fact of the moment, but that is only the worry in the heart, the fear in the heart, not the fact of the future, the reality of the moment. It's just an imagination, just the most terrifying nightmare I've ever had at the moment.

Liu Mocheng reminded himself again and again in his heart, warned himself, and comforted himself, but these things were so pale and powerless at this moment, and they were useless, but they made him more frightened and imagined that picture even more. It's just that he struggles in that picture, tormenting in his heart...

Ma Rugang will definitely have good news to bring back, and there will be no accidents in this matter. Liu Mocheng reminded himself again, waiting for the most fearful and joyful result in his heart. Eyes full of panic, looking at the closed doors and windows...

Ma Rugang. Every step taken is very difficult and powerless, as if moving in the fire, and the heart is also tormented in the oil pot. He didn't know why he agreed to Liu Mocheng's proposal, and he didn't know why he would listen to Liu Mocheng's arrangement. Maybe his analysis is completely correct, Ma Rugang comforted himself so much: he is indeed on the verge of danger at the moment, if not, he is afraid that he can only fall, and he can only face the result that he is most unwilling to face. But why did he agree to Liu Mocheng's arrangement, and why did he agree to Liu Mocheng's proposal?

Fear and fear undoubtedly provide a very convenient shortcut - a shortcut to the depths of the human heart. If this is not the case, how can they be willing to be arranged and manipulated by others. And the desires of the heart can also become a weapon of control by others. Because of fear, we will be controlled by others, and we will struggle, and we will know how to resist, but because we are controlled by desire, we will not be like this, we will only accept - no matter what kind of result we are facing, we will only accept it, and we will only know how to accept it.

Ma Rugang didn't see Li Muqi, he only saw a very ordinary person who would never feel special in the slightest, sitting on an extremely comfortable chair, holding a tea cup and slowly putting it into his mouth, enjoying the bitterness and aroma of tea. Seeing such a person, Ma Rugang was not curious, he was curious about the people who were drinking tea with him - Luo Qiuhe, Du Rukang, and even Mu He, there was no trace of grief and indignation on their faces, and even Mu He could not see a trace of crying.

Seeing them like this, Ma Rugang couldn't help but look at that extremely ordinary and extraordinary person with some curiosity in his heartβ€”if he was an extremely ordinary person, how could he sit here at this moment.

Seeing Ma Rugang staring at that unusual person with curious eyes, a smile appeared on Du Rukang's face, and he looked at Ma Rugang, "I don't know what Lord Qincha is doing here?" ”

"Xia Guan is here to greet King Xianyi." Ma Rugang bowed, full of flattery, and said cautiously, "I don't know if King Xianyi is available at this moment?" ”

"Unfortunately, King Xianyi and Li Antong have already gone out at this time," Du Rukang looked at the flattery on Ma Rugang's face, and felt a burst of disgust in his heart, he didn't see such a color on his face, and pointed at Ma Rugang who was still very curious and sneered, "Do you know this person?" ”

Ma Rugangzai looked at the man carefully for a long time, thought about it for a long time, was full of panic and caution, and bowed down and said, "Xia Guan really doesn't know who this person is?" I would like to let me know. ”

"Do you know that Xue Bingli is dead?"

"What?" Ma Rugang's face instantly showed a look of panic, and his voice was also very trembling, exclaiming, "How could Lord Xue die, who, who is so bold that he dares to kill the court's ministers?" A sudden burst of anger appeared on his face, "Don't he know that this is not just a major crime of killing the head?" ”

"I think he knows, if he doesn't know how to ask for such a high price," Du Rukang smiled at the extremely ordinary person, "Is that so?" ”

"Yes," the man laughed, "if you don't know that killing an official of the imperial court is not as simple as killing a head, how can you ask your employer for such a high price?" If the employer was unaware of the danger, he would never have paid such a high price. The money didn't buy that person's life, it bought my life. An extremely strong look suddenly burst out in the man's eyes, he looked at Ma Rugang with a cold gaze, and said coldly, "In our business, the most important thing is to know the danger of everything and know the consequences of things - your own consequences." So, the price paid by the employer is sometimes the money of two people: one is the one who is going to die, and the other is my own. ”

"You..." Ma Rugang's face changed, his body trembled a little, his voice trembled, he pointed at that person, and exclaimed, "You are the murderer of Lord Xue?" ”

"Yes, he's the man." Du Rukang looked at Ma Rugang with a smile,

"How could he kill Lord Xue?"

"Don't you know?" Du Rukang was full of horror and looked at Ma Rugangdao.

"I... How would I know," Ma Rugang's forehead couldn't help but cover a thin layer of cold sweat, and exclaimed, "I... I don't know this person, besides... I have no grudge against Lord Xue, how can I buy murder?" I also hope that you will be aware of it, and don't be wronged and misunderstand the lower officials. ”

"If your lord has nothing to do with this, why are you so curious about this person?"

"Hmm..." Ma Ru's muscles on the steel surface twitched slightly. Lowering his head, he said slowly, "Xiaguan is not curious about him, but about the person who killed Lord Xue." The lower officials also want to know who will buy the murder? ”

"Isn't it you, my lord?"

"I, how could I?" Ma Rugang hurriedly knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "How dare the lower officials do this?" ”

"Your Excellency, is that really not the case?"

"Never dare," Ma Rugang bowed his head to the ground and shouted repeatedly, "This person is here, if you don't believe in the lower official, why don't you ask him?" I confronted him at this time. ”

"Don't be surprised," Du Rukang looked at Ma Rugang and said with a smile, "I also know that adults will never do this, and I don't dare to harm King Xianyi, just talk about this matter with adults, and I hope that adults will forgive me, don't blame me!" ”

"Harm the King of Leisure?" Ma Rugang's heart shook and lowered his head, "Who, who dares to harm King Xianyi?" ”

Du Rukang smiled slightly, looked at Ma Rugang and said, "This person knows everyone." ”

"Who is it?"

"I think adults must be very curious, wondering why this person is so good here, and actually drinking tea with us?" Du Rukang did not answer Ma Rugang's question, but squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Rugang who was lying on the ground.

Ma Rugang did have such an idea, but he didn't dare to ask questions casually, but he pondered carefully in his heart, but he didn't find a result. Maybe it's because of that result that I really don't dare to accept it, so I don't want to think about it, but somewhere in my heart, I have imagined that result one by one. When I heard what Du Rukang said was exactly that result, I felt suddenly relieved. The tense body suddenly relaxed, and he slowly exhaled a turbid breath from the bottom of his heart: the reason why he was here was because he had made a very correct choice and made a very correct decision.

"I just made a deal with them," the very unusual person smiled indifferently, "because I don't want to die yet, I still have a lot of things that I haven't enjoyed, and a lot of gold and silver that haven't been squandered, and I still want to see the sunrise and sunset..." I don't want to give up my life..."

"Master Ma is an extremely intelligent person, and I think there are some things that I don't need to wait for me to say, and the adults will know about them."

"The lower official will severely punish the person behind the scenes," Ma Rugang slowly made an official salute, looked at everyone, and said passionately, "This matter does not need to be handled by the prince of Xianyi, I hope that this matter will be handed over to the lower officials and let the lower officials deal with it." The subordinate only waits for your orders. ”

"Don't worry," Du Rukang said with a smile, "When this matter is resolved, it will definitely be handed over to your lordship." ”

Looking at Ma Rugang, who was very difficult and full of anxiety to withdraw, looking at the back full of hesitation, gradually passed by with passers-by who were full of sorrow and didn't know what happiness was. That extremely unusual person looked at Luo Qiu Dao, "Will he believe it?" ”

"Yes, he'll believe it." Luo Qiuhe stroked his long beard and said, "Because he has too many desires in his heart, because he is really a greedy person, he will definitely believe it." ”

"But..."

Even if he still had some doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to make up his mind, but the struggle at the moment, the moment he saw Liu Mocheng. He will only make up our minds what we want to see. Luo Qiuhe looked at Li Antong, who was slowly removing his disguise, and then turned his head to look at Mu He carefully, and said slowly, "You are really an extremely smart woman." Perhaps, it is difficult to find a woman like you in the world. ”
