Chapter 33: To each his own mind
Lu Kai went to Tianle and the guards did not follow, Qi Ying made some arrangements from it, the carriage was slow on the road, and there were rows of shops on both sides of the road that opened their doors to welcome customers, and the shops opened their doors like eating people without spitting out flesh and bones, as long as you entered, don't think about it.
There are many passers-by wandering on the road, some are sad, some are full of interest, as long as you look at it at random, it is easy to distinguish which is for the poor who work for a small salary, which is the rich son of a rich family.
There are still piles of ruffians on the street, wandering the streets all day long and not knowing what they want to do, the houses on both sides look vibrant, and most of the passers-by on the street are confused, and their expressions are also lifeless.
Qi Ying knew the street well, and he even knew exactly which wall and which lane had naughty children scribbling with black charcoal.
To him, the street is like a beautiful woman, but the heart is ugly.
The plaque is full of elegance, no one doesn't like the place of Yale, as soon as you see the plaque, you have the urge to enter, it can be seen that the owner of the plaque has used a lot of thought.
The carriage stopped, the two got out of the car, Lu Kai's eyes reflected the three words Tianle, and in an instant, his heart beat violently, and a powerful emotion rushed in his body, and at the same time, he felt a chill down his spine.
"Do you really want to go in?" Lu Kai couldn't help but ask himself.
There is a sultry piece of music in the room, and whoever hears it can't help but feel the urge to go in and watch it.
The tune was in his ears, and Lu Xingxu temporarily let the music confuse and soothe, and followed Qi Ying inside.
Lu Kai walked into the hall, there was a music stage in the hall, there was a girl on the stage plucking the zither strings, the girl looked shy and uneasy, and the men in the audience who were full of distress looked at her without scruples.
The man in the audience did not care about his gaze, although he made the girl shy and uneasy, but did not make the girl look angry, nor did he seem painful, the more people looked at him, the louder the applause, and the more she rewarded the money.
Lu Kai and Qi Ying went up to the second floor and went to a private room, there was a faint floral fragrance in the private room, the fragrance was not pungent, and it made people feel calming, the light in the room was bright, and Yang Gongtian's polite face had already been seen by Lu Kai.
Yang Gongtian was already sitting at the wine table and waiting, Yang Gongtian glanced at Lu Kai, "The envoy is coming"
Now that the person has arrived, Lu Kai simply sat down generously and smiled, "The lieutenant is so hospitable, how can the subordinate be happy?"
Yang Gongtian glanced at Qi Ying, Qi Ying comprehended Shi Li and said, "Forgive me, there are other things in the department, forgive me for retiring first"
Lu Kai looked at Qi Ying deeply, and nodded in return.
Qi Ying stepped back and closed the door.
Lu Kai smiled at Yang Gongtian and asked, "Si Wei is so expensive, he must have something to say?" ”
Yang Gongtian raised his glass and smiled, "This is not in a hurry, make a cup of respect"
Lu Kai sat still, who knew if there was any poison in the wine, and smiled indifferently, "If you are not busy drinking, let's talk about things first"
Lu Kai didn't drink, Yang Gongtian put down the wine glass and smiled, "Then let's talk about things, let the envoy come over for the assassin's business, you might as well tell the truth, so as not to hurt everyone's face"
Lu Kai immediately said, "There is something unknown to the lower officials, I don't know why the lieutenant is so aggressive for a few assassins?" ”
At this point, Yang Gongtian did not hide it, "Then I will make it clear to you straight to the point, so as to show my mind, among the four assassins, one of them is a nephew."
Lu Kai's face was cold when he heard this: "My nephew? It's better not to laugh at this, know what a crime this is! ”
Lu Kai couldn't get out, so Yang Gongtian simply made it clear that "killing the head is a big thing, how can you put it on your head for no reason?" ”
Lu Kai was furious on the spot: "Why did your nephew assassinate me!" ”
Of course, Yang Gongtian would not tell Cheng Weilian, "This matter is a long story, in short, it is a misunderstanding, but after all, my nephew was killed in the Pawn Bureau, if you don't catch the real murderer, how can you explain it to your family!" ”
Lu Kai glared at Yang Gongtian fiercely, "Misunderstanding? If it is I who dies, who will cry out for me! ”
Of course, there is no need to say anything that is unclear, Yang Gongtian's face turned pale and annoyed, "I don't bother with you, you say, don't hand over people!" ”
Lu Kai said coldly: "What if you don't pay it?" ”
Yang Gongtian's long sword hung upside down under the table, grabbed and pulled the long sword out of the sheath with a sharp sound, Lu Kai jumped to grab the door and came out, Yang Gongtian was already on guard, when Lu Kai's figure was about to reach the door, Yang Gongtian's long sword was approaching, Lu Kai wanted to force it out, his back must be hit by the sword, and he retreated to the inner room in desperation.
Yang Gongtian stopped the door and did not rush in, and protected the exit and said, "Quenching poison on the sword, this poison can make life worse than death, if the envoy does not want to suffer, he will hand over the real murderer!" ”
Lu Kai's sharp eyes radiated from his eyes: "Murder the envoy!" It's really damn bad! ”
Yang Gongtian ignored Lu Kai's intimidation and sneered: "When will I murder the envoy?" What does it have to do with me that the envoy was accidentally stabbed to death by someone while listening to the music? I'm telling you that this poison is not pleasant, and if you don't tell the real culprit, don't blame me for being merciless."
Lu Kai didn't open his mouth for a long time, and Yang Gongtian's eyes showed a fierce light, "It seems that I don't want to say anything if I don't taste some hardships, but I want to see how hard the festival envoy's mouth is!" ”
Yang Gongtian's long sword shook and he was about to make a move, but he heard a voice from outside the door, "Captain, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to kill people in broad daylight, right?" ”
Lu Kai was stunned on the spot, he had already heard who the owner of the voice was, and frowned and said, "Why is Fang Wenhou here?" ”
The person outside is indeed Fang Wenhou, Fang Wenhou gently pushed the door open, and when the person entered, of course Fang Wenhou would not come for no reason, he was invited by Qi Ying, please, it is not that Qi Ying invited people face-to-face, if he invited Fang Wenhou face-to-face, he would not suspect the authenticity if he did not say it, and his identity would also be exposed.
Qi Ying is Yang Gongtian's person, Yang Gongtian wants to kill the festival envoy, but Qi Ying came to tell him, how can Fang Wenhou not be suspicious, such a thing is true Fang Wenhou will naturally doubt Qi Ying's reason for doing this.
Everyone knows that Yang Gongtian values Qi Ying very much, Qi Ying has absolutely no reason to betray Yang Gongtian, if he really betrays him, there must be a big reason, Qi Ying doesn't want to expose himself, of course he won't meet Fang Wenhou face to face.
Fang Wenhou learned that the news was from Qi Ying's pebbles, the letter paper was wrapped in pebbles, and the pebbles were thrown into Fang Wenhou's house, and Fang Wenhou would definitely come to pick up the stones to see its contents.
Fang Wenhou didn't come to save Lu Kai's life, he wanted to eradicate Yang Gongtian, Yang Gongtian was the captain of the City Defense Division, as long as Yang Gongtian was eliminated, Fang Wenhou and Taishi had their own way to slowly take over the City Defense Division.
The position of lieutenant of the city defense department is given by Cheng Minghu, Yang Gongtian is a person from Cheng Minghu, and he will be happy to be able to suppress Cheng Minghu Changyue.
Yang Gongtian held his sword and opened horizontally, Fang Wenhou slowly entered to Yang Gongtian's side and asked slowly, "Si Wei?" What do you want to do with the envoys? ”
How could Yang Gongtian have thought that Fang Wenhou would suddenly break through, and looked at Lu Kai in surprise and thought, "He guessed in advance that I was going to do this?" ”
After a while, Yang Gongtian dispelled this thought, Lu Kaizai was smart, how could he know what he was going to do?
Yang Gongtian's back was already in a cold sweat, thinking of a person who could not betray him, because only the two of them knew about this matter, Yang Gongtian was shocked and said, "It's Qi Ying!" But why? Qi Ying is not related to him, so why did he save him? ”
Fang Wenhou didn't know what Yang Gongtian was pondering, "Don't put down the sword yet?" Do you want to murder the envoy before me? ”
Yang Gongtian's eyebrows wrinkled into a line, now that Fang Wenhou broke it, it was difficult to recover, the sword was still pointed at Lu Kai, Yang Gongtian said, "General Fang, the envoy secretly sent someone to kill my nephew, shouldn't he take revenge!" ”
Lu Kai said coldly, "Lieutenant, don't reverse black and white, it's obvious that your nephew assassinated me, why did I send someone to kill him?" ”
Fang Wenhou didn't know that one of the four people sent by Cheng Weilian was Yang Gongtian's nephew, and listening to the conversation between the two, he wondered, "Your nephew? When did your nephew perform the Assassination? ”
Lu Kai picked up the clear road, "Of the four assassins who assassinated me that night, one of them was his nephew."
Fang Wenhou was not shocked when he heard this, but was even more happy, and said with joy and anger: "Okay, Si Wei, I didn't expect to be so bold, your nephew can't assassinate, but you are secretly unfavorable to the envoy, this is a crime plus one degree!" ”
Yang Gongtian knew that he had no way out, and glared at Lu Kai angrily, "I refuse to tell the real murderer!" I'll pay for your life! ”
Yang Gongtian suddenly made a move, the sword rushed towards Lu Kai, Lu Kai stood still, he knew that Fang Wenhou would not let Yang Gongtian kill him, sure enough, when Yang Gongtian made a desperate move, Fang Wenhou stretched out his hand and pinched Yang Gongtian's wrist and twisted, the wrist bone was misplaced, Yang Gongtian screamed in pain on the spot, the sword, staggered to the ground, Fang Wenhou buckled Yang Gongtian's right arm and pushed it to the wall, pressed it and shouted, "Come on"
Outside the door, the guards hurriedly came in, and Fang Wenhou pushed Yang Gongtian to the guards and said, "Take it away!" ”
The guards escorted Yang Gongtian down.
Since Fang Wenhou came to save him, of course Lu Kai couldn't help but step forward to thank him, Lu Kai pretended to be heartbroken and thanked him, "Thank you Brother Fang for coming to the rescue"
At this time, Brother Fang was used instead of a general to show closeness.
Fang Wenhou looked at Lu Kai firmly, he had heard the word accomplice, the word accomplice entered his ears, and when he remembered the matter of jujube drying, Fang Wenhou didn't bother and asked, "What does Si Wei mean by accomplice?" ”
Lu Kai pretended to smile calmly: "Accomplice? How can he be an accomplice, this is the captain of the division to plant a false accusation"
As for the accomplice, Fang Wenhou just asked casually, he was not busy dealing with this matter now, and how to deal with Yang Gongtian was important.
Fang Wenhou suddenly smiled at Lu Kai and said, "Brother Lu is frightened, if the lieutenant is a false person, he will carefully find out that he will not let him wronged a good person."
Fang Wenhou said, "Come on, send the festival envoy back to the office"
"Yes" Two guards entered.
Fang Wenhou walked to the door and turned around and added, "Brother Lu, let's have a good chat sometime."
Lu Kai smiled, "Waiting for Brother Fang at any time"
Escorting Yang Gongtian away Fang Wenhou's expression was not easy at all, Yang Gongtian was Cheng Minghu's person after all, and this matter was somewhat related to Cheng Weilian, and he was also involved in it, so he had to consult the Taishi well in this matter, and he couldn't make decisions without permission.
