Duan Yiming, who had been silent, raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, but his eyes were as clear and clear as ever: "Lord Mingjian, he really doesn't know on a sunny day." He didn't know that there was such a truth behind the refugees. He always thought that the refugees were really sent by the imperial court to repair fortifications elsewhere. ”

Xie Qingtian looked at Duan Yiming's eyes, slightly puzzled, but also said to Hao Se: "My lord, Xiaguan, I really don't know. But in any case, it is indeed difficult for the lower officials to blame their duties for this matter. Lower officials, willing to accept any punishment. ”

Duan Yiming glanced at Xie Qingtian, who was hanging his head, and opened his eyes, his body trembling slightly.

Hao Se nodded, well, it's quite responsible.

Hao Se looked at Duan Yiming: "What you said is not wrong. Not only Xie Qingtian didn't know, but in fact, you Duan Yiming only knew one and didn't know the other. ”

Duan Yiming's expression shook again.

"Duan Yiming," Hao Se glanced at him with some pity, "You only know that in Wangjia Village, the guards of Shangzhou Mansion will trick people into going to the back mountain and burn them down." But they don't know that there, only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are burned. The young man, on the other hand, was sent outside the village to repair the so-called fortifications, that is, to become the Ten Absolute Warriors like the living dead. ”

Yes, Duan Yiming, he didn't know about the ten absolute warriors in the valley at all, he thought that all the refugees were deceived and poisoned and burned in the back mountain.

Duan Yiming was silent and nodded: "My lord is right. ”

Hao Se looked at Xie Qingtian, then at Duan Yiming, and pushed the document: "Duan Yiming, say it yourself, why do you have to deliberately revise the document, why do you want to erase any traces of Xie Qingtian in this matter." ”

Xie Qingtian Huo Ran raised his head and looked at Duan Yiming, his eyes that had been puzzled had changed a lot, as if he had finally thought of something, and then his body suddenly trembled.

Duan Yiming was silent for a moment: "It's nothing, I just want to set him up, scholars, naturally the ultimate goal is to get promoted and make a fortune, isn't it?" ”

"Really?" Hao Se smiled a little embarrassed, "Okay, since you don't say it, then Lord Ben, I'll help you say it." ”

"Your Excellency." Duan Yiming's face changed suddenly, as if he wanted to stop something.

Hao Se didn't look at Duan Yiming, took a deep breath, looked at Xie Qingtian again, and said word by word: "Because, you love Xie Qingtian." You're doing everything you can to protect him. You don't want me to say it, it's because you want Xie Qingtian to forget you for the rest of your life and not have a psychological burden. ”

Duan Yiming's face turned pale.

Xie Qingtian was shocked, and slowly looked at Duan Yiming, his body trembling even more.

The three classes of officials were collectively petrified, and their whole heads were a piece of paste.

After a long time, he looked at Duan Yiming and Xie Qingtian with a shocked face, his eyes were puzzled and unbelievable.

Lord Duan loves to thank Lord Xie?

Do men love men?

The officials thought about it, and began to petrify again.

Xia Feng and Xiu'er suddenly glanced at Jing Yi and Hao Se together, covered their mouths, and put down their hands again, their eyes did not squint, they were serious, and their eyes were spinning around.

Hao Se flipped through those documents, and on them, one after another, "Duan Yiming", sighed: "Duan Yiming, since he was a child, has been a genius in reading, and has been ranked first in the county examination and the first in the government examination. Subsequently, the township test also won the yuan. According to your talent, it is not surprising that you may still be the next Huiyuan who will take the test, the champion of the palace test, and achieve the three yuan and the first, and the future is immeasurable. But you, Duan Yiming, after learning about the Yuan in middle school, dropped out of the academy and went to Shangzhou Mansion to take up a small position, and then invited yourself to Guanyin County to be a county leader. ”

Duan Yiming raised his eyes to look at Hao Se, his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Hao Se paused: "Duan Xueba, it's not because you have no ambitions, it's not because you're poor and crazy and want to make money to support your family immediately." Just because, you have to protect Xie Qingtian. Xie Qingtian, the best classmate who protects you in Yue Li Academy. ”

Xie Qingtian didn't look at Duan Yiming, his ears were buzzing and echoing in his ears, and the huge waves in his heart were about to annihilate him.

"Xie Qingtian," Hao Se turned his gaze to her, "Although your talent is not as good as Duan Yiming, but you are diligent, and with Duan Yiming's one-on-one master tutoring, normally speaking, the future is also bright." It's just that because of the difficulties at home and the illness of your mother, you can no longer continue to study, so after you were lifted, you went to Guanyin County to serve as the county magistrate. ”

Hao Se looked at Duan Yiming again: "And you, Duan Yiming, you inadvertently discovered that there was an abnormality in the disaster relief for refugees in Shangzhou, and then found that Guanyin County was involved. In order to investigate the truth, in order to protect the sunny day, you first went undercover in Shangzhou Mansion, and then went to Guanyin County......"

Jing Yi's attention was not on the case at all, and words such as "Xueba", "undercover", and "one-on-one tutoring" kept circling in his mind, and his brows were furrowed and wrinkled. Why does he seem to be really familiar with these words?

Duan Yiming laughed at himself, looked at Hao Se, and sighed lightly.

It turned out that nothing could be hidden from them.

But he can only protect the sunny day.

Hao Se continued: "When you arrived in Guanyin County, you set up Xie Qingtian, not because of the struggle for power and profit, but because you want to clean Xie Qingtian from this incident, and all the consequences and responsibilities will be borne by you." ”

Xie Qingtian listened blankly, his mind exploded like countless thunderbolts, his fair face became more and more pale, and his already thin body began to sway.

A pair of eyes had already been fogged, and finally gathered together, tears dripping onto the bluestone slab floor, drop after drop, the long wet track, has not dried.

It wasn't until this moment that I understood why he was empty, but he was gentle and cared about his affairs in every detail.

It turns out, it turns out, that the truth is like this.

The truth is so beautiful, yet so cruel.

Hao Se glanced at Xie Qingtian's reaction, and his voice was slightly astringent: "Duan Yiming, you bear everything." But he chose not to tell Xie Qingtian that you had set him up, but you still gave him all the rewards sent by Shangzhou, just because his mother needed a lot of silver to cure her illness. ”

Xie Qingtian finally spoke up and looked at Duan Yiming: "Since you know that there is a problem behind the refugees, why don't you report it to the imperial court." ”

Why, carry all the pots.

Before Duan Yiming could speak, Hao Se answered for him: "Because, the Lord of Shangzhou covers the sky with one hand, and there is a backer in the court." Any of his reports could not have reached the Holy Hearing. Duan Yiming is very sober-minded, he knows that if he reports directly, not only will the news not get out, but he will also startle the snake, and you and him don't want to save your life at all. So he's waiting, waiting for an opportunity. ”

Duan Yiming raised his head again.

Jing Yi interjected lazily:

"Because, Duan Yiming, you are the person behind the mysterious letter to me."
