Chapter 87 Feng Man Lou
Death is an inevitable thing for everyone, and it is also the most helpless thing. Because everyone can only passively accept this matter and cannot make an active choice. If death can be chosen, no one will be able to make up his mind about it.
How lonely should a person who really wants to die? How disappointed should he be?
I feel disappointed in the whole world and lonely in myself. No matter how big the city of Zhongdu is, no matter how busy it is, it has nothing to do with him. Looking at the lights of thousands of families in the city and drinking, he is in it but has nothing to do with him.
The lights on thousands of houses are so bright, the atmosphere is so warm, and the light is so vivid when it is lit. But this brightness will not shine on him. This heat is just cold to him, and he has long lost the courage to survive, so how can he talk about freshness?
This is the man in blue robe lying underground at this moment.
At least that's what Liu Ruiying thinks.
Even if you make such a judgment, it is inevitable that you will be arbitrary. After all, you have never experienced other people's lives. No matter how you speculate and comfort it, it is just out of sympathy and can never be empathized with. Even if you can imagine it is extremely real, the state of mind, position, and the defeat and confusion in the face of setbacks are far from something that a spectator can understand and participate in.
There is actually not much deviation in the basic feelings between people. After experiencing the same thing, you will have similar ideas and naturally make similar decisions.
If Liu Ruiying was in a similar situation with the man in blue robe, he might have made such a choice. In this regard, he was much worse than his nephew Huanong.
Huanong and he both used swords without scabbards. Under this commonal link, the two of them naturally felt a sense of mutual appreciation. Therefore, at the last moment, only when Huanong could understand the man in blue robe's mind would he insert the sword into his throat.
Death is something that most people can touch, and it is real fear, but it should be a luxury for the man in the blue robe.
He wanted to die, but he didn't dare.
What countless people dare not do is his longing. But he has no courage to do it himself. In the end, he achieved his goal by utilizing others' hands, but he couldn't even say a word of "thank you".
Liu Ruiying silently watched the change in his face of the three-wei army's patrol captain's face, and his heart was mixed. On the one hand, he was really guilty. As long as the incident involving the three-wei army had not yet happened, he had already retreated three feet away in his heart. On the other hand, even though the Zhongdu Census and the Three-wei army were also under the command of Liu Jinghao, the King of Qingzhong, they also performed their own duties and the responsibilities they bear were very different.
The relationship between the two sides is subtle, so it would be better to stay away from it. However, Liu Ruiying was not sure whether the officer of the Three Powers Army sold rat medicine or fairy pills in the gourd, so he had to remain silent and respond to changes.
"Why Liu Shengqi means he is dead?"
The captain of the Sanwei Army calmed down and said.
He thought that Liu Ruiying would definitely make a quibble with him, and then he used his rank to suppress others, which made the matter fall into nothing.
In fact, Liu Ruiying could do this. As long as he showed his official position and waist card, he told him the simple opening remark of "The Investigation and Information Office is doing business, and the idle people avoid it", even if he missed a piece of Tiandu in Zhongdu City, it could only be considered as the Investigation and Information Office's internal affairs were handled improperly and his style of conduct was unruly.
In the future, even if the senior officials of the Three Powers Army wrote a complaint and submitted it to Liu Jinghao, the chief officer of the investigation and investigation department, Wei Qilin, would definitely stand up for Liu Ruiying and take over the matter. There would be no storm, and there would be no fire in the city gate and harm the fish in the pond.
But this is the usual way.
In special circumstances, there must be special responses.
Liu Ruiying knew very well that no one would report any disturbances like the Sanwei Army's patrol team. It was obvious that they came here to target him.
The situation is already like this, so it’s better to show weakness. Once you understand the other party’s true purpose, it’s not too late to take action.
But Liu Ruiying ignored a little.
There was the other party who was just a small captain of the Three Powers' Army's patrol. No matter who came out of the Investigation and Inspectorate, there was a well-known rule, which was to see the official. Even the sweeper among them, as long as the Investigation and Inspectorate was issued by the Investigation and Inspectorate, he could run rampant in Zhongdu City without any trouble.
Although this is not a long-term solution, arrogant and domineering people usually have no good ending... but it can also indirectly reflect the special status of the Investigation and Inspectorate in Zhongdu City.
"Yes, he is dead! And not only die, but in about a cup of tea, the body will become colder. Because the blood flows too much and the body has no temperature, it will be colder than the usual dead people."
Liu Ruiying said frankly.
"It seems that Liu Shengqi knows this person's death very clearly?"
The captain of the Sanwei Army said with a slight slight slight slightest remark. The face that had been scared before had certainly disappeared, but was replaced by a kind of conspiracy that was about to succeed.
Such subtle changes can only escape the eyes, but the more the other party is, the easier it will be.
This only means that the master behind this person is a little blind, but he misjudged the ability of this person. Although he didn't know who was instructing him and why he wanted to frame him, it is not easy to bring down a provincial flag of the Investigation and Inspection Service who had just made great contributions.
"Of course I know who killed him!"
Liu Ruiying spread her hands and said with her neck tilted.
This expression and posture seem to be discussing a life? It is almost the same as a village girl in the market who is cheaper than two big money for a pound of cabbage.
"Who is it?"
The captain of the Sanwei Army asked anxiously.
"I!"
Liu Ruiying said.
The other party suddenly lost his temper.
Although killing people in Zhongdu City is a big deal, for a provincial banner of an investigation department, it is afraid that even he himself cannot explain how many lives there are.
Moreover, as soon as this sentence was spoken, Liu Ruiying knew that this person's mood had been completely led by her. With a little patience, this matter could end well and let the other party return in a defeat.
The other party used this life as a ridiculous fatal blow, but he never thought of underestimating the enemy's experience and strength. His so-called killer move has become a bubble at this moment, and even added a bit of color to Liu Ruiying's majesty.
"Don't joke about Liu Shengqi. Even if you are the provincial flag of the Zhongdu Census Department, it is not something that can be good if you report a name."
The captain of Sanwei Army said.
"Have you ever killed someone?"
Liu Ruiying suddenly smiled evilly and walked forward, and could lower his voice and asked almost lying in his ear.
This series of movements and strange tone suddenly made the Sanwei Army Captain, who had been magnificent, feel a chill all over his body. He feels cold on his back spine and an ice line is wrapped around his neck. He is very slow when swallowing, as if his head has moved from his body, and the flesh and blood in it is completely broken, and only a thin layer of skin is connected.
A thought of death was passed through his mind, freezing and stiffening his blood.
Unconsciously, he took a few steps back. His arrogant figure also became a little hunched, and then asked weakly:
"What does Liu Shengqi mean?"
At the same time, his eyes stared at Liu Ruiying's hands tightly, not letting go of any movement. Fortunately, there was nothing in Liu Ruiying's hands at this moment, neither a long sword nor a sharp knife. Otherwise, before Liu Ruiying could speak again, he would definitely turn around and run away.
"Just ask, after all, they are on duty in Zhongdu City and do things for His Highness King Qingzhong. You three powerful troops should be closer to the Seiji Department."
Liu Ruiying said with her hands behind her back.
This made the other party even more panicked... I was originally afraid that Liu Ruiying would attack him, but now I have no way to follow the traces of his hands. If Liu Ruiying suddenly attacked, he would definitely not be able to dodge.
The captain of the Sanwei Army now regrets very much... he really shouldn't have been greedy for gambles and owes a lot of debts. With his own salary, although it is not a big fortune, maintaining a better life is no problem. Moreover, being the captain of the patrol in Zhongdu City is no better than in the military camp. Who wouldn't give him some face to those hawkers in the market, or even restaurants and inns? At least a restaurant that doesn't pay for money in the world is really not a difficult task.
However, this man was prone to impulsiveness when he drank, either went to find a girl or went to gamble. The officer had no lust, but he was very unbeliever. He always felt that he was inappropriate in the Sanwei Army and the pearls were covered with dust, so he could definitely make up for it elsewhere. He firmly believed that he was not an ordinary person and did not want to live an ordinary life. After searching, he fell in love with the casino's game of profit. In the end, not only did he fail to turn over, enjoy the rich land of the mansion, his wife and concubine, but asked the casino those rogues who borrowed a profit-making money from the casino. If it weren't for his position in the Sanwei Army, he would have probably left his hometown and fled overnight.
Even so, the debt has accumulated to now three or four thousand taels. And the principal is the principal, the interest is the interest, and even the interest must be included in the principal to generate new interest. Just based on his salary, it will take more than ten years to pay it back without eating or drinking. However, more than ten years have passed, and this principal plus interest has probably been a sum that ordinary people cannot count at all. It is possible to cover the entire Taishang River.
Yesterday evening, the lights were on.
The captain of the Sanwei Army hid alone in the wine stall in the alley and drank three large cups of turbid wine. It was fishy, spicy and pungent, but fortunately it was strong enough. For a gambler like him who was owed a lot of debt, it was already a paradise on earth to satisfy his cravings.
I just paid my salary and had some spare money in my pocket. After a few glasses of wine, my hands were itchy. The situation in front of me could no longer be broken. I thought that this debt was not a hope at all. It would be better to take advantage of the surplus to gain wealth. If I lose, it would be fine. If I turn the market, I can improve the current situation and maybe I will become a master since then. In addition, a new gambling shop called "Baoyi" has recently opened a new gambling shop called "Baoyi". One tael of silver can be counted as two taels in these three days. Discounts on shops and wine shops are common and not special. But this gambling shop can actually break a piece of money and use it for two. Even if he had finished the Paijiu Silk Cup for so long, he had never seen it before.
Unexpectedly, this trip really made him meet Fugui. However, this Fugui was not won from the gambling table because of his luck, but was like a pie falling from the sky, and he rushed to him and sent it to him.
Chapter completed!
