Lin Dai shrugged, knew the current affairs as Junjie, no longer teased the old lady, and sat down next to her.

The old lady handed the basket to her: "Choose beans." ”

Lin Dai had no choice but to do so. Will you find a treasure box underneath at the end?

She chose the sun to move westward, twilight. The old lady said, "It's okay." ”

Lin Dai waited for her to give the treasure box. A person with such a mysterious identity gave such a boring task, even if it was an NPC, he should have opened a treasure box to give away, right?

The old lady took off her chin and nodded at her water pavilion: "You go in." ”

Hey, that's okay too? Lin Dai glared at her.

The old lady said, "You go to trial." ”

"......" Lin Dai felt that there should be a black screen here, and when the lights came on again, it should have been after the interrogation, she was either killed, or she was disabled and continued to fight, and then she would see you later, in short, skip the interrogation process first.

It's a pity that this is real life. Life does not allow her.

Lin Dai stubbornly walked towards the water pavilion, knowing that it was impossible, he still asked Lin Yusheng: "Or, will you go this time?" ”

Lin Yusheng hid under his heart and pretended to be dead.

Lin Dai flicked his sleeves.

Just as she was about to enter the water pavilion, Lin Yusheng weakly handed over a sentence: "Or ...... I'll try to help you vomit blood? ”

Lin Dai black line for a moment, push the door into the water pavilion.

The old lady had already left, Zhang Shenying took a group of palace maids to greet her and asked, "The Queen Mother looks at this Miss Lin, is she similar to the beauty of the year?" ”

"More self-righteous." This old lady is the current Queen Mother, snorting coldly. "It's like."

Zhang Shenying said: "It's not twins, it's like this." ”

The Queen Mother took a few steps and said, "She will die faster than the beauty." ”

Zhang Shenying raised her eyes and saw the stars flickering behind the shadows of the trees.

It seems that the second prince can enter the East Palace.

Lin Dai stepped into the water pavilion.

The pavilion has been rearranged. The light is half-bright, and the furniture is simple and sharp. Thick screens halve the space. The interrogator is on the other side.

The interrogator, a man, began to ask her about the Salt Gang.

I didn't ask her for so many days, I just stuffed her, and now I suddenly split my head and interrogated, and I played a good psychological card.

Lin Dai stared at the screen, but suddenly said, "Are you the emperor?" ”

There was silence behind the screen.

Lin Dai guessed right.

Or. It's better to say. It's the right bet.

Since she has played such a profound psychological warfare, it depends on whether she is lying, so of course the other party has to carefully check her facial expressions. If the emperor is very interested in her, will he let another man observe her, look at her, and enjoy her appearance? Lin Dai bet. The emperor came in person.

There was a moment of silence in the room. The screen slowly moved away. Lin Dai finally met Emperor Cui Heng.

She saw that it was an ordinary-looking middle-aged and elderly man. The expression is slightly haggard, the eyes are very gloomy and sharp, and the clothes are simple. It's nothing more than a frost-colored Fang Shenglian robe and a white rattan top lacquer gauze crown, but Lin Dai's vision has also been practiced now, and he knows that they are all top-notch materials and tailoring.

She still didn't like the man.

She didn't like to eat blue cheese, even if it was served in the satin robe of Louis XVI's accession to the throne.

She found herself missing Butterfly Smile.

There is no contradiction between being very wary and suspicious of a person and missing him very much at the same time.

Cui Heng stared at Lin Dai, and he didn't know whether he hated or missed.

When he saw the singing butterfly smile flower in the forest, he actually couldn't remember the appearance of the flowing glass very clearly, but he clearly knew that the butterfly smile flower and the flowing glass did not look like each other. Now that he sees Lin Dai, he sees Liuli's face, but he can't describe Liuli's original face at all.

He lost his green memories in the passing years, and was beaten back in front of him by the tide of fate, and he was deeply shocked, and he didn't know how to start for a while.

What did he do with Liuli back then? He didn't seem to remember much. He also showed off his looks and talents, right? At that time, he was still young, and he was still a little confident in his appearance. Of course, his literary talent is not as good as Xie Xiaoheng, and he knows it himself, but Wen Taowu, who governs the country, is stronger than Xie Xiaoheng. Perhaps Liuli was really impressed by his royal light? Or was he semi-forced to go on it, and later fell in love because of hate? He couldn't remember it anymore. At first, it may have been due to self-esteem and I didn't want to figure it out, but then it was really vague.

What should we do with him now?

He's almost a full mile, and he's too sober to lie to himself like he did when he was younger. His muscles and bones have also weakened, and he cannot be strong. Don't say "half", no matter how "half" and "half" can't be done. Maybe drug her? He didn't allow himself to be so promiscuous. Maybe threaten her with her men? It's doable. She is guilty, and so are her men. This threat is within the limits of his conscience. It's a pity that he always has something he can't say.

If he had never met Liuli, he was moved by seeing Lin Dai today, and he might have been able to say it. But the glass ...... That grumpy woman, as transparent as a piece of ice, really didn't have any worldly skills to deal with him, he had never seen such a simple and willful woman.

Facing Lin Dai, who looked like flowing glass, Cui Heng couldn't use his wrist for a while. If you do it...... Like some kind of insult to his first love?

Lin Dai sensed the emperor's hesitation.

He didn't drug her, torture her, or threaten her. She felt his cherishment and hesitation in her. If she still had a chance to escape, it would be to try to use his hesitation, stall for time, wait-

Do you want to wait for Butterfly Xiaohua to save her?

She had to admit that it was very unwise to wish.

So why did she have to wait, in the end?

Lin Dai found that she faced the most vicious battle in her life, but she didn't have a good coping plan, and she didn't even have a direction. She had to retreat to the defensive, and after forcing Cui Heng out of the screen, she gave up the attack and waited for him to make the first move.

Giving up on offense reduces the chances of scoring, but it also reduces the number of points conceded, making it a solid choice.

Cui Heng finally opened his mouth and asked her: "In this way, why do you say the court wants to arrest you?" Well said, and I will forgive you. ”

Lin Dai's eyes moved: the dead will not get a lenient loan.

"So far, the court has not executed any of your comrades." Cui Heng confirmed with her.

This is the kindness he deliberately gave her. But there are limits to this kindness. He wanted her confession. After being forced out of the screen by her, he even gave up the prepared questionnaire and asked her to submit an open-ended answer sheet. The more simple and open-ended the question, the more difficult it was for her to answer. Too crude, too simple, too off-topic, and you risk digging your own grave.

Lin Dai decided in an instant: she wanted to sacrifice Butterfly Xiaohua to save as many others as possible.

So she started from her testing the waters to do business, and said that she was targeted by Butterfly Xiaohua, and finally had to cooperate with him in business.

She introduced Ah Handa's growth in great detail. She knew that doing business was not a sin. The emperor would not care if a woman went into business, even if it was to steal her parents' inheritance. If you put your grandfather's family together, it doesn't matter. Ah, it was precisely because she teased the Xie family that Cui Heng even felt more fun: "You said Xie Yunjian wanted to be greedy for your parents' property?" Was it Xie Xiaoheng's order? ”

Lin Dai had to say publicly: "General Kangping may not be greedy for this money, but there are elders who want it, and he has to do it." This elder may not be the maternal grandfather of the sinner girl. ”

Cui Heng also felt that Lin Dai's analysis was correct. When Xie Xiaoheng was still in power, he checked Xie Xiaoheng. It was the same treatment as other important officials, and the conclusion was that Xie Xiaoheng had the demeanor of a celebrity, and when he was rich, he was so extravagant that he would not be able to make ends meet from time to time, but he would not be corrupt and corrupt, and maintained a basic temperament, at most when he had no money, he would drink the northwest wind and boil Baishi - well, this is just an allusion to a high-ranking person, and it is just a joke here - basically when he had no money, Xie Xiaoheng had to beg his wife to "mud her to sell wine and make a golden hairpin", or turn to other celebrities for help.

Cui Heng likes this kind of brainless celebrity, and he has compassion, so he asked the bachelor's mansion to keep a batch of firewood and rice, the quantity cannot be too large, only enough for the needs of life, and it will be sent to Xie Xiaoheng on a ten-day basis, and it is not for him, but for him to send his wife to collect it, so that he will not resell it and squander it, and drink the northwest wind again in the following days.

This system of receiving firewood and rice later became a common practice. It seems that Xie Xiaoheng is not the only one who lives a willful life. Later, they were able to have food and clothing, thanks to Xie Xiaoheng for setting this precedent.

Later, Xie Xiaoheng retired and went into hiding, and spent a lot of money on the Taoist temple on the mountain, which caused Mrs. Xie to be in the house to support her, and the competition for the keys to the house between the two rooms, and the economic strength also became an important consideration, so that Lin Ruhai's inheritance suffered from the disaster of pond fish. But Xie Xiaoheng should not have intervened directly. Lin Dai sees it this way.

Later, the Tang family was uprooted, and there was a power vacuum in Jincheng, which was a huge time for the economy. Since the Xie family is already the largest household in Jincheng, it is natural to profit from it, as if the braised pork has been stuffed in front of the mouth, and it is more troublesome to push it away than to swallow it. And Cui Heng paid special attention to observation here, and found that Xie Xiaoheng strictly restrained his forces.

Of course, it is still necessary to make a profit, but it did not take the initiative to take advantage of it, and it did not compete with the royal family. That's already a rarity.

Cui Heng was very satisfied with Xie Xiaoheng. Little did he know that here he had a fatal blind spot.

Even he, holding the most powerful card in Daling today, can't be omniscient and omnipotent after all. He is not God.

For example, he matched Yun Hui under a pseudonym to the former prince as his wife, although it was to punish the former prince, but after all, he also did an investigation into Yun Hui's life experience, and what he found was the false information that Xie Xiaoheng asked them to check. Youji ate all the arguments that the illegitimate daughter was transferred to someone else as an adopted daughter.

Cui Heng did not send his most elite forces to investigate this matter, not even the first rank. He has too many things to do, and if he sends first-class and top-level people anywhere, he can't send them. (To be continued......)
