Chapter 390: Candlelight and Wine
Night always comes quickly, and after last night's mutiny, another night came. Ordinary people are naturally the same as in the past, and they still continue to live according to their old lifestyles, and the restaurants and brothels in Xichun County are still singing and dancing, and no one is aware of the undercurrents in Xichun City.
The row of small houses in the backyard of the county yamen is naturally not a few people can get a glimpse of the truth.
This is a courtyard that is not too big, the yard is planted with green bamboo, it is spring, the bamboo in the courtyard is verdant, the night breeze is slight, the bamboo fragrance is fluttering, so that the county government is solemn, full of elegant taste.
This is the resting place of the county magistrate on weekdays, but now in the house in this courtyard, there are a group of officials under house arrest.
Although the city defenders controlled the county yamen, Su Keyong and the others were not ordinary people after all, they were all heads and officials of the Yanjing Ministry with heads and faces, and it was absolutely impossible to detain them and put them in prison.
On the west side of the house, there are brightly armored city defenders and soldiers, spears and swords, extremely strict, in these houses, there are officials and retinues under house arrest.
Su Keyong was placed under house arrest alone in an elegant house on the east side, and this house is the place where the county magistrate takes a lunch break on weekdays.
Bamboo is an elegant and solar plant, so many people like to decorate the bright surface with it, and it seems that with these bamboos around the side, they can become elegant and become festive.
Vassals and elegant people are probably so ridiculous.
The house is lit with lights, the candle flame on the white candle is beating, two white candles are inserted in the candlestick, one left and one right are by the window of the ancient wood, the window is held up by a thin bamboo pole, and the wind outside slips in through the gap in the window, with the fragrance of bamboo, it is also refreshing.
On the side of the candlestick, there is a small table, boxy, on which there are several delicate and delicious side dishes, and there is a pot of wine, two wine glasses, one left and one right, placed opposite.
At the table, there were two people sitting opposite.
……
"Brother Su, I have long wanted to drink with you, but unfortunately I haven't had that opportunity, and today I finally have to drink at the same table with you, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, fortunately!" The white and chubby He Xueyi smiled, squinted, and looked at Su Keyong opposite.
Su Keyong had already broken away from the stretcher at this time and sat on a bamboo chair, his physical injuries naturally did not recover, but he just sat on the chair, with a pale face, which seemed very calm at this time, only those eyes showed resentment.
"Brother Su, I won't tell you, in fact, in my heart, I respect you very much." He Xuezhi said leisurely: "You have been in the Ministry of Officials for so many years, responsible for selecting officials, removing the chaff, but really selecting and appointing a group of capable officials, you are credited to the society, and the entire Yan Kingdom should thank you!" ”
The corners of Su Keyong's eyes twitched, but he didn't speak.
He Xuezhi stretched out his hand to lift the chopsticks, pointed to the dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "You have also seen that the delicacies on this table are all the things you like to eat on weekdays." I also took a lot of effort to figure out your tastes...... You have to eat a few bites, so that my hard work will not be in vain! ”
Su Keyong's lips squirmed, and he finally said, "He Xuezhi, is Han Mo already dead in your hands?" ”
He Xuezhi's eyes narrowed even more, and he didn't laugh back, "Why did Brother Su say this?" ”
"If Han Mo doesn't die, you won't dare to be so unscrupulous." Su Keyong said coldly: "Since you dare to mobilize the city defenders to come to the county yamen, you have no fear...... What you are afraid of is Han Mo, only when he is dead, you dare to act like this. Otherwise...... With Han Mo's temperament, you are so lawless, you will only give him the opportunity to kill you! ”
He Xuezhi smiled and said: "I don't like to hear Brother Su's words, a milky hairy child, how can I, He Xuezhi, be afraid of him?" ”
"When such a time comes, why do you say such self-deception? If you weren't afraid of him, you wouldn't have waited until now to kill me. Su Keyong sneered: "Han Mo is too young after all, although he is very scheming, although his methods are decisive and spicy, but after all, he is not as cunning as your old treacherous and cunning...... Young people always have to pay a price for doing things, but ...... This time the price he paid was too heavy! Speaking of this, the upright official actually let out a long sigh, as if he was sorry for Han Mo's murder.
He Xuezhi smiled and said, "Jiang is still old and spicy...... This has been said a long time ago, but it's a pity...... There are not many people who really understand the meaning! ”
Su Keyong was silent, slightly closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened his eyes, stared at He Xuezhi and asked, "How did you kill him?" It was not an easy task to avoid the eyes of the dark officials and kill Han Mo, who was already a lot of martial arts. You should know that even if you have the ability to kill him, it will not be easy to leave no clue and not get a little breath...... Han Mo has been on guard against you, he shouldn't have given you such an opportunity, but you can do it, it seems that I have always underestimated you! ”
He Xuezhi smiled and said: "I'm always easy to be ignored. As for how to kill him, it is not a difficult thing for me. As you said, although young people are more than enthusiastic, they are too arrogant, and there will always be a defect that is empty-sighted...... Aren't we, the old people, taking advantage of their flaws to defeat the young? The growth of young people always has to pay a lot of costs to learn from the experience of being a person and doing things...... It's just that Han Mo is playing politics and scheming, but he doesn't understand that the price paid in this kind of game is far from being comparable to other games, because the price of this kind of game is sometimes the ...... of life! ”
Speaking of this, He Xuezhi picked up his wine cup, raised his glass and said, "Brother Su, in the dead of night, should you and I drink a glass to increase our interest?" ”
Su Keyong glanced at the wine cup full of wine in front of him, and smiled coldly, "Do you want to poison me with this glass of wine?" ”
He Xuezhi squinted his eyes, the smile on his face disappeared, he slowly put down the wine cup, and sighed softly: "Brother Su, I always thought that if a person wants to live comfortably, he should not be too smart. After a pause, he continued: "If you are stupid, you will enjoy drinking this wine, so that you will have a good night's sleep and be away from the strife of the world. In order to choose the most suitable medicine for you, I took great pains to choose this 'eternal drunk', and I will never ......be drunk forever, and I will never wake up again! ”
The candle flame danced, the two looked at each other, He Xuezhi's eyes were cruel, and Su Keyong's eyes were resentful.
At this point, there is no need to hide anything anymore.
The picture is poor, and now, it is also time for a showdown.
There was a silence, and even the sound of the wind spilling in from outside could be heard, and it took a long time for Su Keyong's laughter to break the silence.
Su Keyong's laughter was very strange, and He Xuezhi felt very uncomfortable in his ears when he heard it, like there were many insects crawling around on his body.
"He Xuezhi, this official really wants to admire your courage today." After Su Keyong suppressed his smile, he said lightly: "You kill Han Mo first, and then kill the official, do you really think that the Han and Su families are families that can be slaughtered?" Do you really think that no one has found out that our death has anything to do with you? ”
He Xuezhi's weird smile returned to his face: "Absolutely not." Because I arranged everything very well, your death, of course, has nothing to do with me, it's just that you committed suicide in fear of sin! ”
"Suicide in fear of sin?"
"Although the reason for death is really not good, but I think about it, this is the only one for you." He Xuezhi smiled and said: "I said, I admire your temperament, and I like your temperament, and your temperament just helped me." Su Guanya knew that you were an impulsive and irascible person, but he still sent you over, and when you stepped on the ground of Yichun, I knew that Su Guanya sent you here not to let you investigate any fraud, but to send you to death. Su Guanya wants you to provoke me, and then let me kill you in anger, so that Su Guanya will be in the hands of Su Guanya, so that the dark officials can get the evidence that I killed you, and turn around, so as to deal with our He family. If my temperament is still the same as when I was in Yanjing, I am afraid that I will really kill you, and Su Guanya's abacus is only afraid that it will really succeed. Merely...... In the past few years, I have been recuperating in Yichun, and I suddenly understood a lot of truths, and I thought of a lot, and there is one truth that I think of the most, and that is ......! He stared at Su Keyong and said slowly: "Sometimes it is far more useful to leave a person than to kill a person!" ”
Su Keyong's expression was ugly, he wanted to clench his fists, but he felt that his hands did not have much strength.
"Although I tried to kill you many times, I finally held back. And you, Master Su, did not disappoint me. You are in Yichun, fully showing your irritability and showing your anger...... forced Heda to death, wantonly arrested Yichun officials, and tortured to extract confessions...... Now everyone in Yichun knows that you, Master Su, are a tyrant, and you have proved this with your practical actions......! He Xuezhi laughed: "Your restlessness, your jumping up and down, your arrogance, and your arrogance have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of officials of all sizes in Yichun, and even the common people know that you, a senior official, have made Yichun County into a miasma...... If Su Shangshu knew that this was the case, I don't think he would have sent you here! ”
Su Keyong listened to He Xuezhi's soft voice, that word by word, it was the most vicious words in the world, cursing himself, every word was like a sword piercing into his heart.
He felt a little chill all over his body, and he also understood more that the He Xuezhi in front of him was more vicious and cunning than he imagined!
