Chapter 121: Identifying the Thief
Chu Feng's name actually had such an influence in the wine shop and tea house, which even Chu Feng himself did not expect.
He looked at the eager adoring eyes of the girls, and if there was no vanity at all, it would be impossible. But probably because those poems were not written by him, but only used them, this kind of vanity is not serious, and the pride is also very shallow, and there is even a slight shame on his face.
"You girls don't have to be like this, I'm not worth mentioning Chu Feng."
Of course, Chu Feng didn't know that it was precisely because of his truth-telling that in the eyes of everyone, it became a subtle and introverted humble performance, which made the girls around him fall into it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Zhao Runzhi looked at everything that happened in front of her, and at first she felt surprise and fun, but after a while, she looked at the girls who were surrounded by Chu Feng with eager eyes, and a strange emotion was aroused from the depths of her heart, and this kind of emotion was something she had never experienced before.
Zhao Runzhi didn't understand what this emotion was called, but when she saw a singer's hand on Chu Feng's shoulder, she suddenly felt that all this was very dazzling, and she wanted to rush forward and slap that hand away. Seeing the other girl's red eyes with mixed feelings, Zhao Runzhi's heart began to think inexplicably: It must have been pretended by her, so pitiful, I don't know who to pretend to!
There were bursts of unfamiliar emotions in his heart, and Zhao Runzhi himself was a little confused. Moving his gaze back to Chu Feng, Zhao Runzhi couldn't help but wonder, why did his eyes focus on those singers, was he attracted by their beauty and beauty? Why not look at yourself?
Immediately, he suddenly remembered that he was now dressed in men's clothes, and Chu Feng must also regard himself as a boy, so naturally he wouldn't see too much......
But no matter what, the true handwriting of his words is still in his own hands! This is a unique thing in the world, in my arms, close to my body...... Thinking about it like this, the thin piece of paper seemed to have a heat, and it couldn't be dispersed in Zhao Runzhi's chest.
Some sour and sweet feelings began to fill his heart, Zhao Runzhi didn't know what was wrong with him, but a pair of eyes couldn't help but fall on Chu Feng's body, and he couldn't move it anymore.
……
……
What happened in the liquor store may spread tonight. The girls who sang the song would talk enthusiastically about this matter, how they saw Chu Feng's true works, how they recognized the wrong person, and how they brought their cognition back to the right path...... The whole process has a bit of drama, it is easy to tell, and it is naturally very easy to spread.
Some things about Chu Feng began to spread gradually, not only about Fan Lou and the painting exams before, but also about his talent, his appearance, his elegance and modesty. Anecdotes began to spread by word of mouth in the night of Tokyo, starting with the girls singing the songs, falling into the ears of other girls and drinkers, and then spreading more widely.
Fame is often a fun thing. As the saying goes, if you have the intention to pick flowers and flowers do not bloom, and you have no intention to plant willows and willows into the shade, this is probably the case.
What should happen is slowly happening, and the feelings that shouldn't be conceived are still slowly blooming, Chu Feng doesn't know anything about Zhao Runzhi's feelings, and Chu Cai is the same. As for the slaves...... After all, he was there for his age, and he more or less saw a little sign of it, but Chu Feng was not his master, so he didn't choose to remind Chu Feng.
So the days are still the same, working in the art academy during the day, going home at night to ask the two gentlemen for advice, or chatting with Liu Zhengqing about some Confucius and Mencius Tao, occasionally going out to participate in the banquet, lively life, this kind of life, is really good.
On the third day after hearing from Zhao Runzhi, the Praetorian Guard sent someone to invite Chu Feng and Chu Cai, and bothered the two of them to go to the prison to identify the suspect.
Chu Feng had long been thinking about this matter, and came to the prison of the forbidden army with Chu Cai, and after seeing the so-called annoyance, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although this suspect is really thin and tall, he is not Qi Da.
"I always remember that the thief's eyes seemed to be blue." Chu Feng looked at the annoyance in front of him, looked at it for a long time, and shook his head, "I don't know why, but I always feel that it's not him." ”
The face of the forbidden army accompanying him became a little ugly, and Chu Feng naturally understood what this was, but it was a pity that Chu Cai didn't notice it at all.
Chu Cai looked at this person in a circle, very serious: "I can't say it well, but if I have to say it, about sixty percent of it is not this person." ”
The forbidden army looked at each other, and it was not easy for them to get the suspect to admit their crimes, if it was because of this kid's cross-cutting that the matter was revealed...... Of course, their lives will be very difficult.
"Uh, blue eyes? Are you sure Master Chu Cai is not mistaken? With a clear cough, the forbidden army couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Lord Chu Cai is wrong?" ”
"Probably not." Chu Cai recalled it seriously and responsibly, and nodded, "I remember that it is indeed blue." ”
The forbidden army was speechless for a while, speechless.
"Maybe it's wrong." Chu Feng smiled slightly at this time and patted Chu Cai's shoulder, "Chu Cai, do you remember, it snowed heavily that day?" When it snows, even the sky turns red, and when the light shines like that, you can't tell the color of many things. You may indeed be mistaken and don't know it. ”
Chu Cai was stunned, and he didn't know if the scientific principle compiled by Chu Feng was correct, so he only looked at him with some confusion.
Chu Feng said with a smile: "I'm not denying you anything, it's just that I look at this suspect and he is still very similar, his height and figure are about the same, and he himself admits it...... Breaking into the forbidden is a big crime, and if it weren't for what he did, no one would really admit it. ”
When several forbidden soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If Chu Cai and Chu Feng insisted that this person was not the thief of the day, not only would their previous work be completely denied, but even the palace would definitely blame it, and they would naturally have a heavy responsibility at that time, and it would be difficult to escape accountability.
Seeing Chu Feng say this, Chu Cai was also a little puzzled, he scratched his head, what he was originally sure in his heart was now drawn with a question mark. He thought about it carefully again, and wondered, "Perhaps, I really remembered wrong?" ”
"After all, after so many days, it's normal for Lord Chu Cai to remember wrong." The Forbidden Army hurriedly smiled and said, "At that time, you and your servant gave us a lot of clues, and the wound on the suspect's shoulder also matched. In any case, now that this case has come to an end, thank you for your help. ”
"It's all as it should be, and you're welcome." Chu Feng smiled back, he glanced at the suspect who had been silent, and asked, "This person dares to break into Taixue to steal things, it is indeed too bold, but no matter what, he did not hurt the lives of others...... I wonder what will happen to this after that? ”
The forbidden army smiled: "How to deal with this kind of thing, it is probably up to the palace to give orders." However, as a matter of common sense, exile is probably the lightest punishment. ”
Chu Feng nodded, not knowing what to think about in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.
Coming out with Chu Cai, Chu Cai still maintained a puzzled face, thought about it for a long time, and finally asked: "Brother Feng, I still don't think that person looks like him!" Did I really remember wrong? ”
At this time, the two had already gotten into the carriage on the way back. Brother Zhang drove away, and the slave sat on the wheel in front of him, biting pine nuts and eating them with great difficulty, while listening to the conversation in the carriage.
"You're not mistaken, the suspect...... The so-called suspect is indeed fake. Chu Feng didn't want to hide it from him, so he sighed with a smile.
"Huh?" Chu Cai was a little stupid, and his eyes widened, "Then isn't this a lie!" We've got to go back and tell them! Brother Zhang! Turn around and go back! ”
"Don't turn around!" Chu Feng shouted loudly, and when he saw that the carriage was still moving forward, he calmed down and said to Chu Cai with a smile, "Silly boy, you can't tell the truth at this time. ”
"Why?" Chu Cai's face was full of incomprehension, and there was even a little grievance in his expression.
"Do you know how many people would have suffered if we had told the truth?" Chu Feng said seductively, "If we tell the truth, the forbidden army will not be able to convict this suspect, and they will be held accountable by the palace for doing things badly." From top to bottom, I'm afraid everyone will be punished. A reprimand is probably the slightest punishment, a few months of finery, or even the deprivation of several official positions, this is something that will happen...... Everything that had happened was already like this, and the thief that night, anyway, she didn't hurt anyone or even steal anything. The damage done by that thief probably only left a bruise on your waist. Is it really because of a thief who can't be caught, and the good future of so many people in the forbidden army from top to bottom is delayed? ”
Chu Cai listened, as if he understood or not, and then frowned and said, "But...... Shouldn't we be telling the truth? In any case, it is indeed the disadvantage of the forbidden army to do things first. They didn't keep a good vigil at first, so that the thieves had an opportunity. And he didn't have the ability to arrest people, and he still let the thief get away with it. Such a useless person deserves to be punished even if he is punished! And...... I don't quite understand, since we can't catch the real thief, who is the person we are now in the prison for us to identify? If it's just exile, but if the palace orders to be beheaded or something, wouldn't it be a wrongful life? Is that the right thing to do? (To be continued.) )
