"Li'an, you have a fiery and ardent sincere heart" The gentle and magnetic voice did not have the previous vicissitudes of life.

Li An looked up at him, "Su Dingbai, have you remembered everything, can you really see through people's hearts?"

Su Dingbai looked back at Yan Xiruo, distressed, missing, and painful, gathered in his heart.

He spoke slowly, his tone was calm and flat, but it made Li An seem to be frightened by the sinister and complex human nature of people's hearts.

......

I am Su Dingbai, born in the Su family in Qiushui County, Ming'an Kingdom.

My father was a well-known local teacher, although he was poor all his life, he was very affectionate with my mother, and my birth should have brought joy to this small family, but I was a cursed person.

Since I was a child, I was different from others, I could see things that others couldn't see.

I could see the hearts beating in people's chests, some bright red, some surrounded by black mist, the black fog was faint and thick, and I could see through their hearts what they were thinking at the moment.

Before I learned to speak, my parents didn't notice anything unusual, but some people laughed when they hugged me, but some people cried when they hugged me.

"Children are like that," they probably would say, but they didn't know that I was seeing the scary black fog in the hearts of those people.

When I learned to speak, I would tell my parents who I liked and who I hated, and I would tell them what I saw in the hearts of the people, but they didn't believe it, and I just thought it was a child's word.

It wasn't until I was eight years old that there was a disappearance in the city, and the proprietress of the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Qiushui County suddenly disappeared.

The owner of the restaurant reported to the official for many days without results, and the government searched Qiushui County all over, but there was still no one alive or dead, and everyone thought that this would become an unsolved case.

I accidentally met the restaurant owner with a sad face on the street, I saw the thick black air in his heart, and saw the excitement and happiness in his heart.

I saw the same happiness in the heart of the lady of the tailor shop next door to the restaurant. I know that the proprietress of the restaurant has been killed by the two of them because she broke the personal relationship between the two of them.

I knew that no one would believe me, but at noon the next day, when the restaurant was crowded, I sneaked into the inner courtyard with a shovel and dug up the renovated soil layer in the courtyard.

The guests in the lobby will never forget the smell of corpses that day, and they will not be able to eat anything for days. The corpse crawling with maggots appeared naked in front of everyone.

When the government sent people to arrest the owner of the restaurant, the restaurant was already crowded, and my father and mother saw me hiding in the crowd with my hands covered in mud, and I saw horror in their eyes.

To make them even more frightened, I stood up and pointed to the lady of the tailor shop who was looking at the bustle and said, "She's also a murderer," and then I jumped into the pit and pulled out a green jade pendant earring from the palm of the corpse's hand.

The lady of the tailor shop subconsciously touched her earrings, and her face showed a shock of disbelief, only to find that the green jade earrings on both sides did not know when one fell, and she didn't notice it.

The tailor shopkeeper's eyes were full of anger at being deceived, and the people around him comforted him, but I heard more ridicule and a sense of wonder buried in comfort.

When someone starts to wonder, "Why would a little kid know?"

I saw the contradictory struggle in my father's eyes, "Is Ding Bai evil?" "Is Ding Bai a demon?" "If he says something unbelievable, it will make people feel strange, right?" I saw the voices in their hearts.

Seeing me staring at them, the fear in my father's eyes was even worse, and they even subconsciously covered their hearts with their hands.

In fact, my father and mother are good people, it is nothing more than my father complained in his heart that the students he taught were too stupid and stupid, but in the eyes of outsiders, my father is a good gentleman with patience and a gentle temper.

And my mother will complain in my heart about the broken mouth of the aunt next door, her words are vulgar, and she will say everything to her, but in their eyes, my mother is a confidant who is willing to listen and is good at solving doubts.

That's when I realized that everyone has secrets, and they don't want their hearts to be seen through, even if that person is their closest person.

I don't need them to say anything, I also know that I am an undesirable person, I have a tacit agreement with my father and mother not to mention the matter of my eyes, and I try to live like a normal person.

From then on, I stayed in the study every day, and my father and mother sent me three meals a day, and they rarely came to see me.

I studied hard, read military books well, and gained fame, and finally won the appreciation of Chu Xiuyan, the monarch of Ming'an, and became the county guard of Qiushui County.

I feel even more fortunate that I met Xiruo, who is pure and generous by nature, and married her. On the eve of the wedding, I told her my secret, and although she was shocked, she did not have the slightest disgust or fear, but was full of admiration for me from the bottom of her heart.

She braided me and her hair into a sachet and gave it to me, and told me, "Ding Bai, your eyes are a gift from heaven, you should make good use of them, distinguish between loyalty and treachery, protect the people, and be a good official for the country and the people." ”

But the officialdom is dark, the people's hearts are unpredictable, and I can't be alone when I enter the officialdom.

I can see the ill-intentioned in those people's smiling faces, embezzlement, corruption, deception...... Above the court, I can see all the gloom that cannot be on the table.

In the recital, I consciously or unconsciously reminded His Majesty who he could get close to and who he needed to stay away from, and revealed to him the key information about the unsolved case that the officials could not find out.

While reusing me, Chu Xiuyan investigated my past, including what happened when I was eight years old.

He learned my secret and made me his servant, but since then, he has only seen me across the scenes.

The officialdom and love field are proud, and I complacently think that my eyes are really a gift, not an ominous thing in my father's heart.

It wasn't until I met the young man named A Ning on the side of the Chicang River, who was covered in blood and asked me for help, saying that he was from Qingfeng County across the river, and that his family was secretly executed by the county guard Han Lie, and that he had escaped and asked me to save him.

I met Han Lie once, when he took office a year ago, he was a good official with a good heart, he had an excellent reputation in the hearts of the people of Qingfeng County, and he was the one who Chu Xiuyan single-handedly promoted.

But I could see that Aning wasn't lying. I hid Ah Ning and went to Qingfeng County to visit Han Lie.

I was stunned at the first sight of him, although I knew that people's hearts would change, but I didn't know that the person full of righteousness could turn a red heart into a miasma within a year.

He was very warm and polite to me, but in his heart he despised my high spirits.

Han Lie is a good official with clean sleeves on the face and is deeply supported by the people, but secretly he colludes with the profiteers in Qingfeng County to do things harmful to Qingfeng County.

Ah Ning's mother was killed by the fake medicine of the drug dealer, and his father sought revenge from Han Lie, but was killed on the night he returned home, and Ah Ning hid under the bed to escape.

I presented Han Lie's incriminating evidence to Chu Xiuyan, but he was still inconclusive.

And the wind of distorting the facts and framing the loyal and good people in the DPRK and China has blown me, and I have made many enemies in the DPRK and China, but now I have become the target of public criticism.

The people of Qingfeng County even gathered in Shangjing, saying that I had framed their parents and officials to correct Han Lie's name.

Without Chu Xiuyan's acquiescence, things would not have developed to such a point, and those evidences would have had no effect.

Looking at Xiruo who was waiting to give birth at home, I decided to enter the palace and resign, and from then on I only wanted to guard my small home.

When I asked Chu Xiuyan to resign, he stepped out of the curtain and stood in front of me.

I knew where I had failed, and I didn't have to look at his heart to feel his murderous intent towards me. Chu Xiuyan looked at me and said, "Aiqing, do you know that when the water is clear, there are no fish?" Han Lie is loved by the people, and the wealth handed over to the treasury is also the most in all the county towns, as for how he did it, does it matter?"

"Your Majesty, when did your heart also be covered with dust!"
