I walked out of Wang Che's cell with a gloomy face, and when Mr. Mu saw my expression, he asked curiously, "How is it?" Did you get deflated in front of that guy? ”

"It's finished." I whispered.

"What did you say?"

"I said, it's done! Ha ha! I patted him on the shoulder, just like acting in Sichuan opera, and said with a smile.

"Ah, what are you pretending to be!" Mr. Mu said angrily.

I grimaced at him and said, "Let's go, let's talk outside!" ”

Seeing that he couldn't figure out the situation and looked puzzled, I was really proud: I have been tricked by you so many times, and this time the manager has found it!

After leaving the prison, I leaned down to explain in Chief Mu's ear. Although he seemed a little puzzled, he still took his leave and went back to reply to the emperor. And I took my men back to Taifu's mansion, just waiting for news from above.

Sure enough, early the next morning, an official list was posted on the main street of Luoyang City, the content was very simple, three days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, a court criminal who committed the crime of bullying the king would be executed in the south of the city, and the name of this prisoner was Wang Che!

Two days later, in the evening, it was already time to get off work, but I never left, and I was still walking around the Taifu Mansion.

Walking to the door of Bai Jue's house, he saw that there were still figures shaking inside, and he couldn't help but walk in, and sure enough, Bai Jue didn't leave, holding a stack of documents on a shelf.

I tiptoed over and tried to slap him on the shoulder to scare him, but he said lightly, "I said, can you not be like a child!" ”

It turned out that he had already noticed that someone was coming in, and he had guessed that it was me! I immediately pouted and said, "Cut." You're boring! ”

There was a chair next to it. I sat down. Seeing him busy moving documents, he couldn't help but sigh: "You are really dedicated!" ”

"Don't be poor, if you have that time, you might as well come over and help!" He said.

"Okay, you say, what do you do?" I asked as I rolled up my sleeves.

Under his command of both east and west, we moved for another half hour before we returned all the documents to you. I was so tired that I was sweating profusely, and while fanning the wind with the placket of my clothes, I asked, "Anyway, you are also a little leader, okay?" Why don't you let your subordinates do these chores? ”

"If I let them go, how can I find it later?"

"You can also command them like me, don't you!"

"They don't have a good command for you."

"Uh......" I'm speechless, I'm a free and obedient coolie!

"Alright, you wait a while, I'll be back right away." He said as he went out.

After a while, he walked back again, with a teapot in his hand and two cups in his hand. Before I could walk up, a smell of tea was already blowing in my face, I closed my eyes and sniffed, and immediately praised: "Good tea!" ”

He smiled. He put down the teapot and teacup and poured me a cup. I picked it up and took a sip and said, "Maojian, Shangpin, where did you get it?" I didn't know there was such a good thing in this house! ”

"I didn't expect that you are such an unpractical person, and you still like to drink tea!" He never forgot to hurt me.

"Nonsense, I don't know if I like tea, just bring tea!" I shouted.

He laughed and poured himself a glass, and we sat down like that, fighting and drinking each other.

After chatting for a while, he suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that you would rather be a wanderer in the rivers and lakes than receive a hundred taels of silver from the imperial court?" Why did you come here to become an official? ”

I smiled faintly and said, "I call it experiencing life, life is so short, I have to try everything." ”

"Cut, I found out that you are a person who loves to grow up, how old are you, and you are still alive, sour or not." He said disdainfully.

If you think about it, I am now Tao Zhihuan on the surface, a young man who is only twenty years old, but he has a heart that is almost thirty years old, which does often make people feel incongruous.

Speaking of which, Bai Jue and I feel more close to each other, and we are more comfortable in dating, probably because of my real age and him, but unfortunately I can't make friends with him for the time being.

"Some people are not old, their hearts are already old, and some people are obviously old, but their hearts are still very naïve!" I say.

"Are you looking for a fight?" He said quietly, sipping his tea.

"A gentleman doesn't move his hands." I also said quietly as I sipped my tea.

"By the way, why did you abstain when we were in the second game?" I asked suddenly.

"Do you think you can change the subject without getting beaten?" But he said.

"Okay, good, you're the boss, I can't serve you! …… What is the reason for this? If you don't tell me now, you won't have a chance! I looked at him and said.

"What if I don't tell you?" He glanced at me.

"If you want to tell me in the future, I won't listen, just keep this in your heart and suffocate you!" I said harshly.

He looked at me with slanted eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, I'll tell you, so that you don't have to bother me all the time." ”

"Good! I listened. ”

"You know where we played, right?" He asked.

"Well, Leng Gong." I say.

"Then why do you think our games are set in places like that?"

"Uh...... I really don't know. ”

Bai Jue suddenly put down the teacup, stood up, walked in front of me twice, and then suddenly approached me, glared at me and said, "What do you think, the women in there are all the emperor's people, and almost all of them have grievances against the royal family, why do we outsiders want to approach them?" ”

"yes...... Why? I was taken aback by his serious expression.

"I hope I'm wrong, but I had a strong premonition that the emperor was probably ...... It's an excuse to get rid of them......" he said, his eyes full of worry.

"Huh?" I was taken by surprise. Although I was surprised that the game was set in the cold palace, I didn't think too deeply about it. At that time, I was only thinking about saving people, and I didn't have time to think too much about it.

But now that we think about it, we went to the competition, and even if the five people who were chosen as targets in the cold palace were not possessed by real evil spirits, in order to win the competition, we would theoretically have characterized them as ominous people.

This also explains why we are only given such a short period of time as one day and night, because we know that the condition of the five of them is relatively serious, and there is no way to completely return to normal in such a short period of time, so we can put the five of them to death later with the argument that they are infected with the evil that cannot be dispelled!

Thinking of this, my heart sank suddenly, and a chill broke down my spine!

"But...... But why? It's not very simple for the emperor to kill someone, these women have already entered the cold palace and are seriously ill, where do you need such a twist and turn to kill them? It's only natural to execute them on the pretext that they are suffering from a bad disease, right? I suddenly thought of a suspicious point and couldn't help but blurt it out.

When Bai Jue heard me say this, he straightened up, cast his eyes forward, and seemed to think for a moment before he said: "I hope, I hope I think too much......"

But he obviously didn't convince himself, because he sighed and put a hand on my shoulder and said, "Tao Yong, in short, you must be careful, I think if there is a deeper trap here, it must be for you!" ”

Hearing this, my heart was shocked, and it was really cold in an instant! (To be continued.) )
