Chapter 54: A Taste of the Beginning
Regarding Yun Hui's identity, he felt that it was enough for the regular agency to send a backbone force to investigate. There were no clues that alerted him to the need to raise the level of the investigation. Ariji's feedback report looked reliable, and he agreed.
The same is true for the investigation of Jincheng Xie Fu. He was blind. Even Lin Dai was negligent. Xie Xiaoheng's chess game, thousands of miles of lurking, so far the turmoil is high, and it is still sharp. Lin Dai was a tide roll, so he smelled a little suspicious breath, but he couldn't trace the source.
If she has to deal with Cui Heng, it is hard enough.
Cui Heng was still asking her to go down: "So how did Butterfly Xiaohua contact you?" β
Lin Dai said it again.
There is a difference between telling the truth again and telling a lie again. When you tell the truth again, you may remember some details that you forgot to say, or you may remember that you need to correct some details that you originally said. Normal people are not novelists who rely on Ma Wanyan. Novelists have to innovate, and even less so ordinary people who speak of the perfect version for the first time. It's just that when ordinary people give a new version, those additions and corrections must give reasons and stand up to scrutiny. Because what you say is the truth.
What if you tell the lie again? You may find that your original speech is a little problematic and you want to make up for it, but there is a good chance that you will be scrambling, self-defeating, and broken when questioned by an experienced interrogator. Because what is fake is fake after all. They often don't match the details. Another possibility is that you're honestly loyal to the original version and don't dare to make any changes. Then it's even worse. You'll look exactly like you're endorsing. It's fake.
A truly clever liar is one who mixes a little falsehood into a lot of truth.
Lin Dai had relatively rich experience in fighting the enemy. She took this approach and sublimated it.
Butterfly Xiaohua's contact with her, she explained that it was basically true. And the part that changed is not so much a lie, but a deletion of a bit of truth.
For many situations in the Salt Gang, she obviously saw and guessed it, but she also said that she didn't know.
She admits to working with Butterfly and that she knows that Butterfly is the leader of the Salt Gang but still works with them, but she points out that the cooperation is limited to business. She has no knowledge of the Salt Gang's business and many of their leaders. Therefore, it is difficult to identify.
The biggest reason for making such a reservation is, of course, to protect the living forces in the southwest. Lin Dai still has a large number of subordinates left over there! When Butterfly Xiaohua broke up with her, she also said that they were safe. Lin Dai didn't want to be killed by too many details he explained here. Not to mention the torment of conscience. That outcome wouldn't have done her any good, at least.
Secondly. She really didn't fully understand the situation on Butterfly's side, and she wasn't even sure if what she learned was completely true. In case I poured beans on the bamboo tube, I said it all. When people heard this, they asked, "What about next?" "She doesn't know below, don't people still suspect her of hiding secrets? In case she says the case. People go to verify, no! Ask her why. How did she know why? Isn't it hard to tell? It would be better to deny it from the beginning.
After such a clearing, Cui Heng was really blinded by her. There were also other experienced eunuchs around him who helped the emperor supervise, and generally did not find that Lin Dai was lying.
Cui Heng nodded and said, "You are really honest." β
Lin Dai was honest to the end: "Don't dare." I still have some things to say, but I didn't dare to tell the emperor. β
Cui Hengqi said: "What words? β
Lin Dai said: "If you say it, I'm afraid that you will get a new crime." β
Cui Heng said: "To be honest, I don't add you new crimes." Let's talk about it! β
Lin Dai said: "On the thief's side, I saw some things, but I didn't know what it meant, so I didn't dare to say it." β
Cui Heng, as she expected, told her to just speak out. Lin Dai chose some real scenes and depicted them to Cui Heng as they were. Cui Heng heard this, and said in disgust: "These robbers really did the murder and robbery of the gang as a serious business. β
Lin Dai was not in a position to comment.
Cui Heng said again: "You helped the robbers, can you be guilty?" β
Lin Dai had no choice but to plead guilty: "It's all the people's girls who are confused, and they have nothing to do with those people under the people's daughters." They should only be serious businessmen. β
Cui Heng saw her bow down and be small, and he was very happy, and deliberately wanted to make another angry face, so as to press her: "If you do it or not, you will know when you ask." β
Lin Dai said: "Then why didn't the people be interrogated with them? β
Cui Heng was speechless for a while. The little ninety-nine in my heart is embarrassed to say it. He had no choice but to make an angry face: "How can this be justified! Do you know that you have been deceived and taken advantage of by robbers? β
Lin Dai only thought that he was referring to Butterfly Xiaohua, and his heart was not touched, so he bowed his head and pleaded guilty.
Cui Heng continued to scold: "Do you really think that drama will be their leader?" β
Belch...... Lin Dai felt that this was a strange question. She was confused and encouraged Cui Heng to continue.
Cui Heng showed his hole cards in one breath: the bandit leader was someone else, and he deliberately put Butterfly Xiaohua in front of him. The imperial court also followed this clue, only to know that it was fooled, but it dug up Lin Dai.
As for Cui Heng, he no longer paid attention to Die Xiaohua and Lin Dai, and was refreshed by this new case, so he wanted to meet Lin Dai himself. Take precautions and give Lin Dai special care, lest the emperor still take a fancy to Lin Dai, but find that she was injured on the road, and it is not good to catch up with responsibility.
Luckily, they wanted to be in front. Cui Heng really likes Lin Dai now, right? It doesn't matter if the butterfly smile flower looks like a flowing glass or not, Zhu Ying confirmed with her whole body that Lin Dai looks like a flowing glass from head to toe - not exactly the same, but it is really similar.
As for why Zhu Ying can confirm to this point, and why Cui Heng believes Zhu Ying, it is inconvenient to say.
In short, at another time, Cui Heng saw a new Shang Ling in the palace passing by, and if he wanted to ask her, he asked the chief eunuch to call. Who knew that Shang Ling was originally very capable, but at that time, it was like sleepwalking, and it took two screams to wake up, and he quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
When Cui Heng was in a good mood, he didn't condemn her, called her up, and teased: "I haven't done much for the royal family, and the charges are getting more and more day by day, how dare I use you?" β
Shang Ling got up according to the order, and didn't dare to reply. When she encountered this tone of laughter, she had always been honest, but at this time, her cheeks were red, her eyes were fluttering, and her head was bowed down, which was quite moving. Cui Heng's eyes touched and he was surprised.
For example, the pines and cypresses are also bright green and pleasing to the eye, but you may not be drunk with a good teacher, but ordinary plants, suddenly touched by the spring, bloom flowers, the flowers are light and pink, even if they only bloom for a moment, it is enough to make people pity.
For another example, a bottle of wine is actually fine wine, but it is cold there, sparkling, you know it is beautiful, but now is not the time to drink, it will be put aside, and the charcoal fire will be baked, and the aroma of its melting and smelting will touch your nose, and you will be crawling with greedy insects.
This honesty is still in this time, just like flowers are affected by spring and wine is baked.
Cui Heng doesn't know who is her spring light and who is her charcoal furnace.
He settled down and commanded the right things. Shang Ling knew that it was important and hurriedly went. After Cui Heng saw her go, Fang asked: "The direction Hua Shangling came from, is it Ezixie?" β
The big eunuch replied: "The emperor is right. It's Ezixie. "That's the bathing place.
Cui Heng asked again: "Who is in it today?" β
The big eunuch didn't know this, so he walked to ask, and when he came back, he waited for Princess Xueyi to come back with Zhu Ying. Princess Xueyi bowed first, Zhu Ying was behind, and also bowed deeply, as if there was too much condensed snowflakes on her body, and she was unable to move, and it seemed that this person would always be so lazy that she wouldn't even go to the guillotine faster, and greeted Cui Heng.
Cui Heng looked at her neckline, which was wider than others, as if the lotus flowers were about to bloom in early summer, as a matter of course. He said helplessly: "It turned out to be you." β
"Exactly." Princess Xueyi said: "I was originally asked to wash with Hua Shangling, but she was weak, so she will go back first in a while." Did the emperor meet Hua Shangling? β
Cui Heng was noncommittal, but he listened to the laughter of "Goo", sticking to his ears, like twilight clouds, it was Zhu Ying. She looked at Cui Heng with those dark eyes. It seems that the mountains are green, and the night rain is towards the clouds.
Cui Heng staggered his gaze: "The Queen Mother likes it, it's over there." If you want to go, go ahead! β
"Yes!" Princess Xueyi said happily, "I heard that I invited a ghost and elf little thing to play in the palace, and I was lawless. It's time to check it out! Cherry? β
Zhu Ying said "yes", saluted Cui Heng again, and went with Xue Yi. Cui Heng suddenly remembered: "Hua Shangling is also over there." People are simple, don't bully others. β
Princess Xueyi pointed at Zhu Ying: "She did it, not me!" β
Zhu Ying spread her hands innocently: "The princess doesn't protect me anymore, so please ask the emperor to cure me?" Calmly facing Cui Heng, her face is too open and ugly, and her snow-white and spacious breasts.
Cui Heng snorted: "You guys don't go off the beaten path!" He turned around and heard them say behind him, "Yes!" β
He still felt that the black misty eyes on his snow-white body were about to suck him in.
Once, there were two sparkling eyes next to those foggy eyes. The three of them had fun, reallyβbut only once.
Liuli said that once is enough. Stop studying after learning just a little. Any more is fornication. That's the line between casual and fornication.
In his selfish heart, Cui Heng felt that Liuli was reasonable.
He had to admit that there were some aspects where she was smarter than him. Those aspects are always irrelevant to the criteria for judging success in reality. It is dusty, departed, useless, but mysterious and moving...... Oh, he seems to be defining the clouds in the sky.
He and his world are like a simple earth, no matter how luxurious it is, it is also heavy; No matter how complex it is, there are traces to follow. And she is like the wind blowing through the clouds, and there is no way to go. (To be continued......)
