Chapter 39: Hypocrisy and False Righteousness
Entering the door, Su Mujin looked inside the house, it was different from usual, and now there were a lot of white yarns hanging in the house, which made people unable to see the situation in the house. Su Mujin looked at Prime Minister Su Cheng looming in the white veil, and couldn't help frowning.
What is this old man doing in broad daylight?
As soon as she thought about this, the figure behind the white veil moved. The figure came from far and near, and when he pulled the white veil away, it was not Prime Minister Su Cheng who caught his eye. This person is about twenty-seven or eighteen, born with a good skin, smiling eyebrows and eyes, flower arrangements on the top of his head, and gestures, all of which give people a feeling of spring breeze.
This man has a kind face, as if he has seen it somewhere.
"Miss Su, do you remember me?"
This person's voice is very good, and there is a sense of temptation.
To be able to have such a person, Su Mujin has only met two people now, one is the master, the other is Yun Jingyao, and the one he met today is the third, this person is by no means simple.
Su Mujin didn't reply to his words, but only said lightly: "Where is Prime Minister Su now?" ”
"The prime minister has something to do, and he can't come for the time being, so he asked me to temporarily collect the generalized petition on his behalf."
"Really?" Suspicious, very suspicious. If the prime minister has something to do, why would he invite her to his house?
Thinking like this, Su Mujin took out the name letter she had prepared earlier, and walked slowly towards this person, with each step, the vigilance in her heart increased. When she had reached the man, she saw him stretch out her hand, and put the name in his hand.
The man just wanted to take the nomination certificate, but found that the nomination certificate was held in Su Mujin's hand and couldn't take it at all. frowned slightly, raised her eyes to look at Su Mujin, and asked, "What does this mean, girl?" ”
"You haven't reported yourself yet."
"You can't trust me?" He withdrew his hand, put his hand behind his waist, and said softly, "I am ......"
said that it was too late and that was fast, and before Su Mujin could react, this person stepped forward, twisted her hand, and snatched away the name of the vote. Su Mujin wanted to chase someone again, but the person broke out of the window, and it was already too late.
Su Mujin was about to go out to see where the person had gone, but she accidentally heard the sound of something being broken in the white veil, she turned around and walked cautiously towards the white veil, there was someone inside.
Prime Minister Su Cheng was tied to the ground with five flowers, and the sound of things breaking was the result of his continuous struggle and breaking the vase. Su Mujin hurriedly walked over, took away the white cloth stuffed in Prime Minister Su Cheng's mouth, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Prime Minister Su Cheng was embarrassed, but he didn't forget to say: "Vote for the name!" Vote for the name! Don't let him take it, chase it! Chase! ”
That person's martial arts are not low, and if he dares to chase after him at this moment, I'm afraid it's already too late. Hurriedly untied the prime minister, Su Mujin asked, "Do you recognize that person?" ”
"That person is Liu Qi, the white-clothed prime minister, who likes to do this robbery for others the most on weekdays." Saying that, Prime Minister Su suddenly became sad, he grabbed the clothes on his chest, and said bitterly: "Now that there is no vote, what can the prime minister do to convict the regent." ”
Sure enough, the prime minister wanted to vote for his name, in order to bring down the regent. However, it is certainly not his style to overthrow the regent and make a wedding dress for the emperor. So, his ultimate goal is not to bring down the regent. It's the whole world, and the regent is just an inconspicuous stumbling block to him.
Thinking like this, Su Mujin said: "Prime Minister, why do you have to convict the regent?" ”
"What do you mean?" Prime Minister Su Cheng had always been worried that Su Mujin and Yun Jingyao would rebel if they got too close, but at this moment, she suddenly spoke for the regent, which inevitably made him vigilant.
Su Mujin pulled Prime Minister Su up from the ground, sent him out of the door, and said as he walked: "Shouldn't our goal be that position?" Even if you win the regent, don't you still have a piece of heaven above your head? Wu Zi went against him, but he cheapened the yellow finch for nothing. ”
The reason is that Prime Minister Su and Yun Jingyao each "have ghosts in their hearts". What Prime Minister Su Cheng thought was that without the stumbling block of the regent, he would get rid of the grass ** emperor, and it would become a matter of ease.
However, how could Prime Minister Su tell the true thoughts in his heart to someone he didn't trust, besides, who knew that when the name was taken away today, it was not Su Mujin who was shouting to catch the thief.
Because of this, Prime Minister Su Cheng, who was originally a little confused, instantly calmed down. He stopped, "I will send someone to investigate the matter of winning the name today." I'll figure it out later. My son, it's getting late, so lest the regent be suspicious, you better go back quickly. ”
Su Mujin didn't shirk it. She nodded and left the Prime Minister's Mansion. After going back, Su Mujin secretly sent someone to investigate Liu Qi, the white-clothed prime minister. This person is not called Liu Qi, but because he likes to linger in Liu Lane of Flower Street, and his idol is Liu Yong of the Song Dynasty, he often compares himself to Liu Qi.
In addition to lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane on weekdays, Liu Qi occasionally takes on one or two unsightly deeds in order to make a living. She only found out that he had recently taken over the task, but she didn't know who the person who carried out the task was.
Luoyun Villa has always been famous for its intelligence, and even the power that she Luoyun Villa can't find out, its strength must not be underestimated. This means that it is not only Prime Minister Su and the emperor who are eyeing Yun Jingyao.
The more she thought about it, the more strange she felt, and Su Mujin decided to go and meet this Liu Qi in person for a while to see if she could get anything out of his mouth.
On the night of the decision, Su Mujin disguised herself as a man and went to the fireworks alley where Liu Qi often goes.
For a moment, their warm and open attitude almost made Su Mujin think that she was back in modern times. She shook her head, casually grabbed a boss selling rouge on the side of the road and asked, "Do you know where Liu Qi is?" ”
"Liu Qi?" The boss was suspicious at first, and then said vigilantly: "What are you looking for Liu Qi to do?" ”
Looking at this person's attitude, he must have recognized Liu Qi, Su Mujin smiled, "I used to be a confidant with him, but I haven't seen him for two years, I just came to the capital today, and I can't find a place to live left and right. ”
"So?" The boss looked at Su Mujin, but when he saw that she was born with a good face, she didn't look like that scoundrel, so she put her mind at ease and shook her head with a smile, "You, it's not the right time to come, Liu Qigongzi has something to do recently, and he hasn't returned for a few days." ”
"So?" can make a person who is drunk in Fireworks Alley leave for so many days, presumably what he has to do is not a trivial matter. Thinking like this, Su Mujin deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, "Sir, can you tell me where the Liu Seven brothers live?" Xiaosheng has gone all the way, and there is not much left to entangle, and it is good to try his luck. ”
