"Question my determination as an Overseer to fight corruption. Zhong Wanlu, as well as those family members, can take the opportunity to fan the flames and raise the banner of fairness against me. Both are dead ends, how do you let me choose?! You're so smart, teach me how to choose?! Do you have a solution? Neither do you! So you might as well let me smoke to death here! At least I don't have to face the pain of being suffocated by despair......"

Tong Yuqing slapped it over, almost roaring and asking, "Are you sober?!" It's not you! The man I Tong Yuqing has loved with my life is by no means so cowardly and incompetent! ”

Bai Qiaoxuan woke up suddenly, not because of her slap, but because of the last words she said. She doesn't want him to give up on himself, just like he doesn't want her to give up on herself, right? That's why she said the same thing as him. Bai Qiaoxuan remembered that she was unconscious at that time, if she refused to wake up no matter what, where would he still have the courage to live? No way! He couldn't let her endure the torment he had endured, even if he refused to give up his heart for her no matter what, he couldn't sink any longer......

"Have you thought of anything?"

Although he was still very helpless, there was obviously a look in his eyes, Tong Yuqing's heart relaxed a little, and said in a deep voice: "Now my father is no longer the financial secretary of Pudong, and the Lu family is no longer the surname of the Puxi overseer, so I am neither the daughter of the financial secretary of Pudong, nor the daughter-in-law of the Puxi overseer, and I have no responsibility and obligation to protect the livelihood of the people and maintain the fairness of everything, but you have." Therefore, you give the order as usual, deal with Yin Xu according to the law, and I will do the work of saving Yin Xu. At the beginning, I saved Uncle Qiu and Yoyo by exchanging death row prisoners, and it doesn't hurt to do it again now. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan saw the firmness in her eyes and knew that she was not joking, so she hurriedly said, "No!" This trick can be hidden from the world, but it must not be hidden from Zhong Wanlu. Besides, will Zhong Wanlu not stare you to death? Maybe as soon as you get in touch with the warden, she'll grab you by the pigtails. I can't save you, I can't put you in there! ”

Tong Yuqing said: "Of course I know how dangerous this matter is, but if you don't do it, is there a way to do both?" If you say in public that you won't kill Xu'er, it's not just the Overseer's position, but your life! Even if you don't want to think about yourself, you can't help but think about Xi'er. Are you willing to let her die with you? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan rubbed his temples in pain, and after being silent for a long time, he asked, "Yuqing, in all fairness, does Xu'er really deserve to die?" ”

Tong Yuqing stroked his shoulder and spit out a word weakly, "Yes...... But can you do it? If you really make up your mind to choose one of the two paths in front of you, it's actually very simple, you just need to think clearly, which is more important in your heart, the identity of the Overseer or the identity of the cousin? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's voice was as light as smoke, "If you had to choose, which one would you choose?" ”

Tong Yuqing thought for a long time and said, "I don't know...... I don't think anyone would know their answer if it hadn't come to an end......"

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled desolately, "You can say that I don't know, but I can only choose a more pleasant way to die between two dead ends......"

Bai Qiaoxuan casually opened the drawer and took out the pistol, but Tong Yuqing caught a glimpse of a silver dollar next to the pistol, and an idea suddenly sprung up in her heart, so she took out the silver dollar and said, "Since we don't know how to choose, let God choose it for us." The front is life, the back is death, vote three times, Yin Xu is life or death. ”

No matter what kind of desperate situation he fell into before, Bai Qiaoxuan did not let God make a decision for him. Now he understands that it is because the previous predicament is not a desperate situation.

Bai Qiaoxuan took the silver dollar and said, "Okay, I'll throw it, you can come and see." Let's take a look at the heavens, do you want to make Xu'er live, or die? ”

Before the words fell, the silver dollar had been thrown into the air by Bai Qiaoxuan, Tong Yuqing walked over quietly with bated breath, saw Pu Jiang on the silver dollar, breathed sluggishly, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Death." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's heart sank, he stretched out his hand, took the silver dollar that Tong Yuqing picked up, and threw it out. Tong Yuqing felt that her palms were full of cold sweat, and her steps were a little unsteady, and she walked towards the silver dollar step by step, with difficulty......

"Don't look!" Bai Qiaoxuan's voice frightened Tong Yuqing suddenly, she slowly turned around and looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, whose chest was fluctuating violently......

"Look no further. I am the overseer of Puxin Prefecture, and I should focus on the overall situation and think about the common people. This has been my dream since I was a child, and no one should be a stumbling block to my righteousness. ”

Saying that, Bai Qiaoxuan walked out of the door, Tong Yuqing followed, and the moment she closed the door, she caught a glimpse of the silver dollar, and there was a faint river surging......

Yin Mu, who was kneeling in the hall, saw the determination in Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes, panicked, and hurriedly hugged his thighs and cried: "Qiao Xuan...... Where are you going? You can't kill Xu'er...... I beg you not to kill Xu'er...... He's my life......"

Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes were full of tears, and he said with difficulty word by word: "Uncle...... From now on, you will be my father, and I will provide for you in your old age and enjoy the honor for the rest of your life. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan was ruthless and asked Xuancang to take away Yin Mu's hand holding him, but he didn't expect Yin Mu to not only push Xuancang away, but also took away his matching gun and aimed the muzzle at Bai Qiaoxuan.

The soldiers guarding outside the hall instantly surrounded several people into an iron cylinder, and countless guns were pointed at Yin Mu. Bai Qiaoxuan shouted angrily: "Who let you in?!" Put down your guns! ”

Tong Yuqing also put down the hand that wanted to pull out the gun, and saw Bai Qiaoxuan persuade Yin Mu bitterly, "Uncle, you can't kill me." Is it good to be obedient? Put the gun down...... Yin Xu is not worthy of you at all, what he committed this time was not a mistake, but a sin. The money he embezzled was enough for one person to spend ten lifetimes. There's really no way I can let him go, and do you think he'll survive if I let him go? Miss by a mile! As a result of my spare, I was removed from the Overseer and killed by my political enemies. Think about it, when that time comes, will my political enemies let Xu'er who is my cousin go? ”

Yin Mu sneered, "Worthy or unworthy, he is my child, my only child, and I have no room for re-choice...... Since this matter must be settled with a life, then use mine......" Saying that, Yin Mu pointed his gun at himself, and Bai Qiaoxuan shouted in shock, "Don't! Uncle, calm down......"

Yin Mu said as if no one was around: "If the son doesn't teach, the father is guilty." Treat him as if I instructed him to do this, spare his life, teach him to change his mind, please......"

When Lu Xi heard the news and rushed over, he happened to see Yin Mu pull the trigger, and he was immediately frightened. She had heard the gunshots, but Yu Huan beside her had never even heard the gunshots, and she was even more scared than her. Seeing this, Tong Yuqing could only personally send Lu Xi back to his room to rest.

Xuan Cang saw Bai Qiaoxuan staring at the blood flowing on the ground stupidly, afraid that he would not be able to stand the blow, and wanted to help him leave, but he fell to his knees with a thud, and let the sea of blood stain his clothes red......

Xuan Cang was a little frightened, and let out a low voice, "Overseer......"

Bai Qiaoxuan's body trembled like chaff, the green tendons between his foreheads burst out, and his knuckles were also blue and white on his clenched fists. Xuan Cangzheng didn't know how to persuade him, so he suddenly spat blood from his mouth and fell forward in a daze......

When Bai Qiaoxuan woke up, he saw Lu Xi and Tong Yuqing guarding the edge of the collapse and the other at the table, and his heart was peaceful, but in an instant, he remembered what had just happened in the hall. He struggled to stand up, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Lu Xi was awakened by the movement of the people around him, hurriedly held him down, and said: "Lie down quickly, the doctor said that you are like this because you have not closed your eyes for a few days and nights, and you have been stimulated and angry." You can get a good night's sleep. My uncle's body, Yuqing and I have already placed it, and it's not too late to deal with other things tomorrow morning. ”

Tong Yuqing also woke up when she heard Lu Xi's voice, and said softly: "Xi'er is right, with your current physical condition, how to deal with the next series of things?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan really felt that he didn't have much strength in his body, so he listened to their words and lay down again, Tong Yuqing said again: "Since you are no longer in trouble, I will go back to the house to rest." Ciel, remember what I said to you and take good care of him. ”

Lu Xi bowed slightly. After Tong Yuqing left, Bai Qiaoxuan asked, "What did she tell you?" ”

Lu Xi's thoughts drifted back to half an hour ago, she followed Tong Yuqing's words, after placing Yin Mu's corpse, she sat at the table physically and mentally exhausted, "Although I always tell myself over and over again that Zhong Wanlu said nonsense that day, and she said those words to me because she hated me, but the facts have always proved again and again that what she said is true." You think so too, right? Qiao Xuan is just greedy for the security I can give him......"

Tong Yuqing sat down and said, "When you ask this question, you actually have a definite answer in your heart. Even if I say no, you'll just feel like I'm comforting you. ”

Lu Xi sighed, only to hear Tong Yuqing laugh and say, "Silly girl, do you think it's not good for women to be simple and kind?" Why can't you think about it from a different angle, only such a woman is cute. Women like me and Zhong Wanlu are too tired to live, and not only are they tired, but even the people around us are tired with us. I'm not talking about being tired, I'm talking about being tired. Qiao Xuan was very smart and chose the one who tired himself. Maybe you think that in this way, his love for you is no longer simple, but you ask yourself, is your love for him simple? If all the good things in him are gone, and he is just a melancholy, ordinary man, will you still love him? In this world, apart from the love of parents for their children, where does there come from so much love for no reason, regardless of gains and losses? You yourself can't love him desperately, so what right do you have to demand that he love you unconditionally? ”

Lu Ximo was silent, Tong Yuqing held her hand, and said softly with relief: "You should think like this, there are thousands of women in this world, but only you can stand by his side openly and share flowers and applause with him." In the past, when he was not an Overseer, there was not only one woman who loved him, but in the future, when he was an Overseer, not only would there be more women who genuinely admired him, but also those who coveted wealth and wealth would flock to him. If you want to care about the women who come and go around him, I'm afraid that until you die, you won't be able to care about it. So, the only thing you have to worry about is whether these women can take your place in his heart? That's all that matters. ”

Luch asked pitifully, "But how can I be irreplaceable?" ”

Tong Yuqing replied: "At present, it seems that as long as you believe that you are irreplaceable, you are irreplaceable. Because self-confidence will make you shine forever, and this brilliance will not wither with the passage of time like beauty. On the other hand, if you are not confident, your beauty will pass quickly, and sooner or later, you will be replaced by a younger, more beautiful and more attractive woman than you, I can assure you. ”

……

Lu Xi's thoughts turned and he smiled, "The boudoir whispers between our women, what are you asking so much for?" ”

Although she didn't answer him, Bai Qiaoxuan could more or less guess that Tong Yuqing said some words of comfort or encouragement to her, so that her smile was no longer as reluctant as it was a few days ago. He gave up some places and said softly, "It's not early, you should go to bed early." Tomorrow morning, if I haven't gotten up yet, you must remember to call me. ”

Lu Xi looked at his sleeping face, watched him lie peacefully beside him, the bottomless pit in his heart was gradually filled, and he slept ten times or a hundred times more peacefully than in the previous days......

The autumn wind swirls with the golden leaves, slowly falling to the ground, as if whispering an endless elegy......

Bai Qiaoxuan looked at the sycamore leaves falling with the wind and sighed, "Let him go......"

Xuan Cang bowed down and responded, "My subordinates understand." ”

After Xuancang left, Bai Qiaoxuan picked up the official document and came to the conference room, before he could say a word, there was a noise outside the door, and the one-armed Wu Kui slammed open the door, rushed directly to Bai Qiaoxuan, and asked, "Why did you kill Mrs. Ren?" What mistake did she make that warranted the Overseer's own order to kill her? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan shouted angrily, "Xuancang! How do you guard the door? Can anyone break open the door of the conference room? ”

Xuan Cang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Wu Kui, "General Wu, if you have something to do with the Overseer, wait until the Overseer has a meeting......

Wu Kui pushed Xuancang away, "Wait for him to finish the meeting, will he kill another person?" ”

With a "bang", Bai Qiaoxuan overturned his chair, and everyone trembled with fright, except for Wu Kui, who looked directly at Bai Qiaoxuan fearlessly.

"Someone! Drag me out! ”

Wu Kui said: "No need, I broke my arm, not my leg, and I can walk by myself." You ......"

"Brother Wu......" Tong Yuhao's voice suddenly came from outside the door, Tong Yuhao quickly turned his wheelchair into the conference room, and said: "Overseer, General Wu drank too much last night, and he hasn't woken up yet, and he said some drunken words, please forgive me." ”

Tong Yuhao looked at Bai Qiaoxuan with pleading eyes, Bai Qiaoxuan thought that they had a lifelong friendship, his heart softened, and said: "The meeting is suspended, the time is to be determined, you go back to the office first and wait for the notice." ”

With Tong Yuhao in the middle, Wu Kui's attitude eased a lot, and he no longer frowned coldly like Fang Cai, "Qiao Xuan, your uncle was forced to death by those people, you hate them, I can understand it." In the past half a month, you have put all kinds of charges on them, and tortured them to the point that life is worse than death, isn't that enough? Mrs. Ren is not a family member of those corrupt officials, but she just has a few words about her husband's transfer, and you will kill her. Don't you think you're angry right now? Is this what the ideals you talked to me about, the rule of law? ”

Tong Yuhao saw Bai Qiaoxuan's face pale, and hurriedly said, "Brother Wu, how to decide Mrs. Ren's matter, I will discuss it with the Overseer again." You have been busy with government affairs these days, and you don't have time to go home to see, my sister-in-law is still sick in bed, and when I went to visit her, she complained to me that she hadn't seen you a few times since you were transferred to Puhe, and my little brother thought that you should go back to see her. ”

Wu Kui said in a deep voice: "Okay, you don't like to listen to me, you always like to listen to Yuhao's words, right?" Yu Hao, you can persuade him well, if you continue like this, what's the matter? ”

After Tong Yuhao saw Wu Kui leave, he wanted to kneel down, but his legs had not yet recovered to the level of complete obedience, and if he was not careful, he fell to the ground. Bai Qiaoxuan heard the movement and hurriedly went over to help him up, "Where did you fall?" Whatever you want, I'll help you get it, if your sister knows that you fell and injured yourself here, can you spare me? ”

Tong Yuhao grabbed his shirt and said, "I'm fine." Brother Qiao Xuan, I want to ask you for one thing as a younger brother, you must promise me......"

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled: "Between you and me, where can we talk about a word?" Whatever you want, I promise you. ”

Tong Yuhao hurriedly said: "I want to ask you to transfer Brother Wu back to his original position, so that he can stay away from Puhe and the political situation." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan looked into his eyes, took a step back, and smiled desolately, "You want him to stay away from me, right?" ”

Tong Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yes...... Brother Wu is upright and uninhibited, such a person may be a good hand at leading troops to fight, and he can make the enemy fearful, but he is not suitable for politics. He confronts you in public today, and you can let him go once. Speak up for your friend tomorrow, and you can let him do it once. But as time goes on, I am afraid that one day, you will not be able to tolerate his uprightness, and you will ...... him."

Bai Qiaoxuan turned around and sighed with a smile, "It turns out that in your heart, I am such an intolerable overseer...... If Tang Taizong can tolerate Wei Zheng, can't I tolerate Wu Kui? For selfishness, he is a good brother who shares our weal and woe, and can share wealth with us in Puhe; Yu Gong, he is the only minister around me who dares to tell me the truth. Shouldn't he stay for both public and private reasons? ”

Tong Yuhao's eyes reddened, "I can give him the wealth, after that battle...... We are the only two people left in the death squad, me and him, really, even if he doesn't do anything in his life, I am willing to raise him for nothing, but ...... But he also has to live for me to raise...... You still remember the friendship you once had with life and death, and naturally you won't kill him, but can you guarantee that in his outspoken confrontation day after day, your anger and forbearance will not wipe out all the friendships you once had? Although we are now working hard to legislate, enforce the law, and let everything be based on the law, after all, it is not mature, and your words can still directly ask for a human life, and no one can say no to you, and no one dares to say no to you. So while you still have old feelings for him, let him go, he doesn't belong here. When you were about to transfer him, wasn't he also reluctant to leave the barracks? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to put him back in that position where he suited, and you wouldn't have to worry about the army breeding corruption under him? The role of the admonition can be handed over to others to play, whether you are selfish or self-interested, in short, I don't want the person who sits in this position to be a person I can't give up. Brother Qiao Xuan, just let me beg you......"

Bai Qiaoxuan looked back at him, "Yuhao, I really don't know whether to be glad that you have learned to be far-sighted, or to be sad for the alienation between you and me after I succeed to the throne......

Tong Yuhao bit his lower lip and tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "As long as you reign for one day, you will be higher than my brother's status as a sovereign monarch to me." I will always be loyal to you and I will always respect you. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan couldn't bear to look at him anymore, so he turned around and said, "Don't ask, Mrs. Ren's matter, you also think I didn't handle it properly." ”

Without waiting for him to answer, Bai Qiaoxuan said: "Okay, I can promise you not to kill Mrs. Ren, and I can also promise you to transfer Wu Kui back to his original position, but you also have to promise me one thing, before I find a suitable minister, you will play this role." With your sister and Ayin here, this is the safest thing to do right now, isn't it? ”

Tong Yuhao pondered for a moment and nodded, "Thank you, Brother Qiao Xuan." Thanks to the heavy weapons of the overseer, Yu Hao will live up to the trust. ”

After Tong Yuhao left, Bai Qiaoxuan rushed back and forth in meetings large and small, and did not leave the Overseer until it was late at night.

Seeing that he seemed to be tired through the rearview mirror, Xuancang whispered, "Overseer, it's cold in the car, it's better not to fall asleep." Even if you want to sleep, put on a dress. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan said lightly: "No need, I won't really fall asleep, my good brother hasn't come yet, how dare I sleep?" ”

Before the words fell, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the sky above their east side, and Bai Qiaoxuan had a tired smile on his lips, "I really mean Cao Cao Cao arrived." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan heard more and more gunshots coming from all directions, more than they had predicted, his expression was slightly condensed, and he asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't you say that Liang Yue and Yin Xu were only thirty people? You've sent three times as many people as them, how can you still not deal with it yet? ”

Xuan Cang also sensed that something was wrong, and desperately sped up the car, wanting to take Bai Qiaoxuan to escape from this place of right and wrong, but he didn't expect to be blocked by a speeding car.

The person sitting in the back seat of that car rolled down the window......
