Chapter 44: Showdown
In his heart, Li Dongsheng does not look at others, which is a characteristic that almost every house thing has, and it is the foundation for him to endure loneliness. At the same time, Li Dongsheng has another characteristic of this kind of person, that is, he has an extraordinary attachment to certain cognitions.
These so-called specific possibilities are strange, but here Li Dongsheng, they are unrestrained.
The so-called uninhibited is not to be bound by a specific person or thing, such as being happy when things are always done, or not liking to owe favors.
Because of this reason, Li Dongsheng only planned to enjoy it after he thought that the affairs of the mansion were over, and it was also for this reason that Li Dongsheng fell into a dilemma when facing Lian Shen.
On the one hand, there is the system, which does not allow it to be exposed too much, and on the other hand, he himself, who does not intend to be perfunctory and sincere to his people.
The relationship between the two is almost antagonistic, as long as you choose one or the other, you have to give up the other. Is it to implement the principle of the system first, and really become a behind-the-scenes man who always wears an unknown number of masks, or to put down the burden and officially step into the sunshine of this world.
Li Dongsheng thought about it for a long time, this is a choice that cannot be made in a short period of time.
In the end, Li Dongsheng decided to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich and made an adult decision as if he was escaping. Neither giving up on the system, nor giving up the true friends he might meet, neither of which he wants to give up at the moment.
Alas, Li Dongsheng sighed in his heart, one day, I will make myself a split personality.
"Thank you, Brother Lian." After making up his mind, Li Dongsheng raised his hand to Lian Shen and said, "Now, we can have a good talk." ”
"Brother Lian is worried that we have an ulterior secret, right?" Li Dongsheng said first. In fact, Lian Shen's worries are easy to guess. As the secret territory of the Hanging Mirror Division, there will naturally be people left behind, and Tang Liu, who is the most left-behind person, is not satisfied with just showing the scene in the dark, so he began to work hard to cultivate his own strength in private.
I have to say that Tang Liu's vision is very good, and Lou Yuqin, who is willing to sacrifice himself for his sister, is undoubtedly satisfied with the secret investigation of the "spy", and at the same time, as long as Tang Liu masters Lou Yuqin, he can control Lou Yuqin with this. Lou Yuqin's own family background is innocent, and almost no one would have thought that the former Miss Lou Mansion would be a traitor sent by the Hanging Mirror Division, and if it was Han Qiyun's first move, everything would be even more perfect.
It's just that he didn't expect that Lian Shen, who had a relationship with him, would appear to interrupt his plan, and on the other hand, Lian Shen, whose head was left open by Tang, also began to think about it involuntarily. For example, did Lin Gongzi think about using Lou Yuqin like Tang Liu, for example, he was actually poisoned by Guo An but was easily unraveled by Lin Gongzi, for example, Lin Gongzi really saved him by accident? When the seeds of doubt began to sprout, Lian Shen couldn't help but recall the details of the past, such as when the weather was very cold, Lin Gongzi was boating early in the morning, such as he had no internal strength a few days ago, why did he start to recover his internal strength that night after agreeing to Lin Gongzi. For another example, Lin Gongzi is obviously a student from Xiangfu, but in the past few days, he has never prepared for the imperial examination for the coming year, for example, Tang Liu said that Lin Yuqin was secretly transferred from the Hanging Mirror Division to the Hanging Lan Workshop, how did Lin Gongzi know about this news? For example, if Lou Yuqin is really Lin Gongzi's friend, then why doesn't Lin Gongzi seem to be in a hurry about rescuing Miss Lou?
"I remember that Engong asked me if there was a relationship between the Hanging Lan Fang and the Hanging Mirror Division. Tonight, when I was exploring the Hanging Lan Fang, I met someone who had joined the Hanging Mirror Division Dark Spot before... Friend. Lian Shen got straight to the point and said: "Lian Shen wants to ask, did Engong already know that Hanging Lan Fang and the Hanging Mirror Division have a relationship?" ”
"Yes," Li Dongsheng nodded after a moment's thought, "I do know when I ask you." ”
Hearing Lin Mucheng's generous admission, Lian Shen couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Lian Shen is a person from the Hanging Mirror Division, and even Shen doesn't know about it, how did Engong know?" ”
"Guess." Li Dongsheng replied immediately. He wasn't lying, he was really just guessing at first, but he confirmed it later with a tailwind ear.
"Guess?" Lian Shen obviously did not believe it,
"Actually, it's not hard to guess." Li Dongsheng explained: "Generally speaking, only the sect has offending officials and their dependents. But it is rumored that there are also daughters of eunuchs in the Hanging Lan Fang in the capital of this mausoleum, and there must be something strange in the so-called no wind and no waves. As long as Brother Lian thinks one more step, who dares to be the family member of the lowly officials, the matter is very clear. In fact, this matter is not a secret among those big officials, but we low-level ants don't think about it for a while. ”
"Then Engong, why do you think about it?"
What did he think? Li Dongsheng recalled, at first it seemed that it was because he heard the two officials talking about going to Hanging Lanfang to find a "good girl", and he was interested after hearing it, so he paid a little more attention? Well, that's not easy to say directly.
"I heard it by chance, so I paid attention to it." Li Dongsheng considered the language.
“....... Engong," Lian Shen said helplessly: "I'm afraid this matter is not something that can be heard by chance." ”
"yes, I know what you're thinking." Li Dongsheng nodded: "I also know what you want to ask, don't you want to ask me why I don't care about Lou Yuqin's safety?" Answer this question to you, and you will understand. Under Lian Shen's puzzled expression, Li Dongsheng continued: "The reason is very simple, because I didn't think about saving her at the beginning, and the reason why I want to save her now is because I promised others." "That's at least part of the reason, so he's not lying." I'm actually..."Li Dongsheng said with a smile: "I haven't even spoken to Miss Lou Yuqin from the Lou Mansion. ”
"Engong, I'm even more confused, what's going on with this?"
"Why, my seventeenth family saved your life, we gave you good food and drink, and now you are running here to question us?" Before Li Dongsheng answered, a voice appeared at the courtyard gate.
Chuncao crossed her hands on her hips, quite like Li Dongsheng's style of scolding the aunt on the street in her previous life, she looked at Lian Shen with an angry face and said: "I thought I saved a favor to repay it, but I didn't think it was a white-eyed wolf!" ”
"Miss Chuncao misunderstood, she had no intention of doing so, but she had some doubts in her heart..."
"What do you have to wonder? We saved your life, let you help save someone, do you still have an opinion on one life for another? If we should have reported the case directly to the government in the first place, and let those who wanted to kill you come directly and cut you into carved hairpins. See when you come...."
"Okay, okay," Li Dongsheng interrupted the indignant Chuncao: "Brother Lian Shen is just worried that we will be unfavorable to your family's Miss Canary." ”
"Hmph, what's the use of my young lady's affairs worrying about him!"
"The spring grass girl is angry, and even Shen knows that she is wrong." Lian Shen had no power to resist Chuncao, so he could only raise the flag and beg for mercy.
"Okay Chuncao, although we saved Brother Lian, but saving people should be a matter of course, how can we repay the favor. Moreover, even Brother Lian knew everything about us afterwards, but we hid a lot from him, and this matter was also our fault. ”
"Humph!" Chuncao Li Dongsheng's face is still given, and he snorted coldly and stopped continuing to denounce Lian Shen.
"Come, Brother Lian Shen, let me introduce you formally." Li Dongsheng said happily: "The two people in front of you at this moment, one is the original subordinate of Loufu" Li Dongsheng pointed to himself, and then he pointed to Chuncao, "The other is the original maid of Loufu." ”
He spread his hands and said, "How?" Surprised? Isn't it surprising? ”
