Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other

The dormitory of Guangwen Hall was surrounded by supervisors inside and out.

After hearing the bad news in the inn, I was so stupid that I couldn't put on the robes of the Imperial College, so I wore the man's plain clothes and rushed to the Imperial College.

Zuo said that it was reported that Lu Lingjun had been absent from class for a whole day, and everyone thought he had gone out to find Bai Yujing again. Unexpectedly, Yixun was lying motionless in his room, and he stopped breathing after another probe.

I can't believe Lu Lingjun will die.

Until I walked through the dense crowd and saw the three of Li Dusu standing quietly in front of Lu Lingjun's bed, I suddenly felt that the air seemed to be frozen and suffocated, making my chest uncomfortable.

Perhaps after hearing the movement, Li Wen and Du Fei turned around, staring at me in surprise, their eyes were red, and they had obviously cried for a while, and Su Qiao was lying on the bedside, without noticing that I was walking. Entering the room, just holding Lu Lingjun's hand and crying.

I still couldn't believe this fact, and tremblingly cast a look at Li and Du asking for confirmation.

They shook their heads, and stopped talking.

Then, I saw Mr. Lu Ling.

He lay quietly on the bed, motionless, his expression as peaceful as he was asleep...No, he wouldn't be so relaxed when he fell asleep, no matter what, I still don't want to believe that he is dead.

The first time I met Mr. Lu Ling who talked about being the head of my face in a tea house, the Mr. Lu Ling who ran to the princess mansion to rescue me, and Mr. Lu Ling who would look for me in the river for a few days.

How can you die.

I looked down at my fingers and couldn’t stop shaking my fists. I stretched out my hand and stroked his face. It was unbelievably cold. I looked at the tip of his nose again. After waiting for a long time, I couldn’t feel the breath. For a long time, I saw my tears fall to the palm of my hand, and I was speechless.

Su Qiao glanced at me when he raised his eyes, and said in amazement: "Brother Bai—"

I choked: "Why did he die?"

Su Qiao reacted for a while before Fang said, "I...we don't know..."

How could someone like Lu Lingjun... be easily killed. His martial arts are not inferior to Song Langsheng, and Song Langsheng is the first son of the capital who once rivaled the martial artist.

I looked back again.

There was no trace of scars on his body, and his robe was neat and unfolded, and he didn't seem to have fought anyone before.

I'm afraid it is just to let A Zuo, A and You work together to kill, with Lu Lingjun's alertness, it is difficult to achieve this point.

No matter how you want to kill Lu Lingjun, this is simply an impossible task...

Just when I was about to fall on him and cry bitterly, the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and stared at me. Before I could recover from the sluggish state, he got up and hugged me: "Brother Bai Xian—you are back—"

Yes.

So that's how it is.

It's clear at a glance.

The chaotic and chaotic process will be omitted for now. If you have anything unclear, you can use Lu Lingjun to distract everyone, leaving me alone in the room, and what he said to me can be summarized in one word. .

"Brother Bai, I knew that you would definitely show up when you heard that something happened to me."

"..."

"You really live up to my expectations..."

"You toss like this just to lure me to show up? Then?"

"Then, I feel relieved."

"..."

I resisted the urge to hit him with a sword, calmed down, let him pour a pot of tea, and listened to him.

"I know... that corpse caught on the bank of the river is not you... but I'm afraid I guessed it wrong..."

I was taken aback, and looked at him: "Huh? Is that a female body?"

Jun Lu Ling naturally said, "If it's a male corpse, why should I worry about you?"

Suddenly fell into silence.

I opened my mouth and said for a while: "So...you knew I was...a woman disguised as a man?"

Jun Lu Ling nodded hesitantly: "Ah, eh."

I said: "Since when?"

Lu Lingjun said: "Can I not answer?"

I said: "No."

"At first glance." Lu Lingjun pointed to his neck, and said in a whisper: "The collar you were wearing was not high enough at that time, so... there was no Adam's apple."

I:"…"

"And your skin is really too delicate... A man wouldn't be so boring and nothing to grow into like this..."

I smiled, twitching with laughter, "So... have you been playing with me?"

Jun Lu Ling was unwilling to show his weakness, "Isn't Bai Xian too? Saying that he is a face and that he was persecuted by the princess... Isn't it to cooperate with you? Isn't this very happy?"

I couldn’t bear it anymore, I just slapped the table fiercely, “It was you who yelled at me, “So you are the face of the princess...”! And you can see that I’m a girl, so I’m okay to run away from the house. Is it fun to call me brothers brothers?"

Jun Lu Ling shrank his neck in fright by my aura, and lowered his head and said, "I...just think...it's funny...are you angry?"

"..."

I rubbed my eyebrows and said, "Angry? Brother Lu, you're still optimistic and cheerful... Do you know that it's just a lie to death that deceived me... Stop it, I don't want to hear you explain so much now... I'll just ask you three first It’s a question, no deception!"

Lu Lingjun nodded frequently: "Three hundred are all."

"First, do you know who I am?"

Jun Lu Ling hesitated, "...I know."

very good. Let me write down his account.

"Second, why do you think that the female corpse on the riverbank is not me?"

Lu Lingjun raised his eyes and looked at me sincerely: "Because my heartbeat tells me that she is not you."

"Stop it, don't spit out such scripture words."

"Okay..." Jun Lu Ling said aggrieved: "Because the way the female corpse wore the prison uniform was tied in an authentic outer knot, but when you usually wear clothes, you don’t know if it’s because you are too lazy or too lazy. Tie it twice...so I think...it definitely won't be you. "So that's it.

I pondered for a moment, and said, "Third, how did you pretend to be so vivid? What is the real purpose of your fraudulent death?"

Lu Lingjun said blankly: "These should be two questions, right?"

I raised my teacup viciously.

Lu Lingjun said without confidence: "The way to pretend to be dead...it's not difficult...there are pre-prepared fake death pills and the use of internal breath to temporarily slow down the strength of breathing, and then squeak the nest with a stone ball...Although there are still some clues , But it’s hard to detect when people are in a state of extreme shock and grief...As for the purpose...Isn’t it just to make sure you are safe?”

I said: "Since you believe that the corpse is not me, naturally there is no need to lead me to appear. For such a big mess, have you ever thought about how the National Supervision Commission will deal with you? Lu Lingjun, although we usually talk Nine of the ten sentences are not reliable, but I still hope that when I am talking to you seriously, you can convince me with a more logical answer."

Jun Lu Ling pouted, and muttered: "Good, good. I'll just say it."

"Well. You must swear that what you say next is true, or I don't believe it."

"... what oath to swear."

"If there is a lie, you can't marry a wife, can't take a concubine, can't touch a woman in this life."

"...This is too cruel, can you change it?"

"no."

"..."

After swearing by the gourd, he finally got into the topic: "Actually, I'm just a little bit lucky, and maybe I don't have to cheat the corpse."

"?"

"Someone wants to poison me."

I stopped the rotating cup lid in my hand and looked at him. Lu Lingjun's expression finally ceased to be cynical. He hooked the corner of his mouth and pointed to his chest, "Here, I have received two poisonous needles..." He got out of the cabinet. I took out a book and placed it on the table, only to see that the paper was still nailed with a needle. If it penetrates into the heart, it will die silently, and the state of death will be almost as if I pretended to be dead..."

I frowned: "You pretended to be dead just to bring out the real murderer?"

Jun Lu Ling nodded naturally, "Just like you."

I put aside the tea cup and stared at him in surprise. I didn’t know what I had done before. The layer of veil had already been lifted here. It is clear that I am the princess of the imperial government, and Song Lang also speaks to me. Call me the princess according to the etiquette, but he paid you back, really indifferent.

Jun Lu Ling saw me and looked at him: "What's the matter?"

I shook my head, "Then, why didn't you continue to pretend then?"

Jun Lu Ling said seriously: "Because you are here."

"I'm here, what does it have to do with your pretense?"

Jun Lu Ling clenched his fist to prop up his chin, and said, "Because... you will be sad."

I snorted, drooping my eyelids, "Hey."

"Didn't you cry?"

"That's human nature, right." I choked. "It's more reliable when you talk about business..."

"I'm not fooling you." Lu Lingjun smiled and said, "Aren't you also blowing up yourself? When I heard the bad news about me, didn't you come here regardless?"

I rubbed my eyebrows, "You are ashamed to say..."

"Therefore, whenever there is a chance to have a mystery but a hole in the sky, it is often disrupted by a small episode. In the end, the person concerned just waits to be resigned, and those smart bystanders will always think that these accidents are also in the plan. , In the end, being clever is mistaken by cleverness."

I was taken aback. Does Lu Lingjun's words imply anything?

Jun Lu Ling said proudly, "Is there such a bit of Zen?"

I said: "I'm thinking, how did you transfer the topic to dealing with people."

The development of the situation became more and more elusive. Lu Ling caused such a catastrophe, and Wei Qingheng was busy dealing with the sinking of the ship. Now the Imperial College is equal to Nie Ran’s supervision, and Nie Ran...will not care about the situation and will definitely take Lu. Ling Jun tidied up his meal so as to behave like you.

Lu Lingjun himself obviously realized this, and he hurriedly left after a few brief explanations. As soon as he left, Zuo came out from a shadow of the beam of the house and knelt in front of me on one knee, saying: "Subordinates do business. Not good, please punished the princess."

I said, "Isn't that Mr. Tao said that your ability to discern things is rarely matched by others. Now you can't tell the truth about Lu Lingjun's death and fake death. Wouldn't Tao Yuan use Ming Jiansi's defective products to fool me?"

Zuo looked up in panic: "His subordinates did explore the pulse of Lu Lingjun..."

"Have you probed his pulse? With so many people around him, how did you get close to him?"

Zuo said: "At that time, a supervising student suddenly ran out of his room and shouted loudly because of shock. The subordinates took advantage of which stall to enter the room and rushed back to inform the princess once confirmed..."

I raised my sleeves, "Wait."

In this way, there was at least one hour between when Zuo discovered the "corpse" of Lu Lingjun and when we heard the wind and arrived. Although this process is not long,...As the director of the State Supervision Supervision Department, he is temporarily in charge of the full supervision, which is in the heart and the truth. It should be the first time to arrive at the scene, let alone a person who acts cautiously like Nie Ran.

Unless... he knew that Jun Lu Ling was killed by the explosion.

Zuo looked at me and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head and was speechless for a while, and only said: "It's all about you, keep going in secret."

A Zuo: "..."

Jun Lu Ling was punished much more severely than I thought.

Full of a hundred rods.

A hundred sticks are very likely to die, and even if they survive a catastrophe, they will be cruel for life. If I knew that Lu Lingjun was strong, I was afraid that I would have to use the princess as a princess to save his life.

The supervising student of Guangwenguan knelt outside the pavilion to plead, but Nie Ran ignored him.

It was a torrential rain in response to the occasion, and all the students from the Imperial College knelt outside the pavilion begging for mercy. The whole scene was quite touching.

However, I couldn't be moved at all.

It was precisely one of these people who wanted to put Jun Lu Ling to death.

I walked around with an umbrella and turned back, trying to close my eyes and go through everything from sinking boats to burning boats to assassins to courts and even the Imperial College. The points are strung into a line.

I know that there must be a connection here, and there are clues that I haven't noticed that are the key to uncovering the truth. However, the more anxious, the more chaotic my thoughts become. Under anxiety, I folded the branches beside me and waved wildly. , Sweeping the leaves straight down.

At this time, I heard the pacing close behind me, turned my head, and saw Nie Ran also holding an umbrella, wearing a blue shirt as light as before, and the smile that curled up between the corners of his mouth, I couldn't understand at all.

Just as at a loss as to the purpose of his appearance in front of me at this time.

He smiled lightly: "I never thought you would appear in the Imperial College at this time."

I said: "Nie Siye can't think of things, and there are many things I can do."

Nie Ran smiled, but didn't refute, and said, "I know."

How much does he know?

Just as Lu Ling knows how much, I don't know at all.

It seemed like they were caught in a loop. The people around me were always playing dumb puzzles with me, always watching my inexplicable inquiry and questioning.

When I think of this, I suddenly don't want to know anything, about the conspiracy, about the past.

I said, "Nie Siye, can I ask you a question?"

He looked at me with no waves in his eyes.

"Will we be the enemy?"

Nie Ran was slightly startled, unexpectedly noncommittal, it was more like a default.

I took a deep breath: "Ask myself, I think I am a good person. Although the world cannot be summed up in a word, at least I know what I am doing. If you are an enemy of me, it is because of your position. , Or is it because you are a villain?"

Nie Ran was obviously stunned by the word "villain" and couldn't help laughing. "Nowadays, I don't know that besides the playbook, there are people who use this kind of rhetoric to evaluate the people in the court."

But I didn't follow his words and said, "You don't have to worry about him."

Nie Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at me, standing for a long time without saying a word.

I waited, and suddenly felt that my actions were naive, so I smiled and shrugged, not wanting Nie Ran to open the mouth after all, "Or in your opinion, I am not a good person."

I turned my head to look at him, Nie Ran's mouth raised a point.

I can’t help but think of Xu Fang. When Xu Fang smiles, the corners of both lips are always turned up at the same time. When he is open, his lips will open more openly. However, Nie Ran only loves to move his right lip forever, as if he is showing something attitude.

It turns out that memory really changes a person.

I can’t help feeling for a few rounds. Sometimes the more I know a person, the more strange I feel, just like Song Langsheng’s. Whenever I think of a little bit about my past with him, I’m afraid to think of more, for fear of knowing. The more, the situation will repeat itself in the end.

Nie Ran saw that I hadn't spoken, and there was still something to say, so I stopped his words and said, "When the words are up to this point, then I have no more scruples."

Nie Ran cast a suspicious look at me.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, "If Nie Siye wants to take advantage of our little past to get some loopholes from me, then I would like to advise, who fooled whom is not yet known."

I looked at him: "You obviously know what happened to us in Chenjiacun, but you always put on a posture that you don't want to know or think about. You know Nie Siye? This is unreasonable, let him be ruthless and bored. People who are boring will not be disinterested in themselves, let alone those of you who need to be aware of things like this so that they can work every step of the way. I’m afraid... the past of those Lala scums of Xu Fang and I, but whoever can ask can know. , You know everything."

Nie Ran's eyes flashed because of these words.

"So I have been thinking, what on earth do you want to do? What is your purpose? What would I do if I was you?" I tilted my head and spread my hands. Someone went back to Chenjia Village to find clues... You said it was a coincidence that after the woods were assassinated and I was washed away by the river, some villagers saw Xu Fang went back."

Nie Ran's wary eyes moved slightly.

"The one going back is you." I pointed at him and said: "I also wondered for a while, whether even the person named Xu Fang was you, Nie Ran, pretending to be you, or whether the warmth of the past was just for the sake of the future. The game set..."

At this point, Nie Ran's eyebrows provoked a somewhat interesting look, "As a result, yes or no?"

I put down my sleeves and took a deep breath, "He is him, you are you."

Nie Ran asked, "How can you see it?"

I heard my voice saying, "One day, if you can restore some memories that belong to Xu Fang, you may be able to know my'how to see'. But..." I said, "I would rather never come this day. "

At this point, I saw that there was a supervisor coming from a short distance ahead, so I followed the etiquette of teachers and students to Nie Ran and took two steps, but I heard him say indifferently from behind: "Even if Xu Fang comes back, You are no longer the gentle breeze of the day."

Hearing the last name, my heart jumped and I was taken aback for a while. When I turned back, Nie Ran had already gone away, leaving behind a vast back like an autumn phoenix tree.

When he returned to the room and closed the door, Zuo jumped off the beam and said with a solemn expression: "Princess, something has happened in the middle of the room."

I didn't recover for a while, Ah You jumped in from the window again and said, "Princess, there is something wrong with the house."

Dare to love these two people took advantage of me to go out and wander for a while, and they had already been inquiring about what was outside.

I motioned them to get up and replied, "You said first, what happened in the house?"

A right said: "The princess's mansion has been sealed off by the capital's yamen, and everyone in the mansion has been detained. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Presumably, the consort had already recognized that the corpse by the river was ‘my princess’, and the princess Jianguo was assassinated, so it is natural to find out from the mansion. However, although the case was handled by Shen Rong, it is of great importance. I am afraid that the Dali Temple Inspectorate of the Criminal Ministry cannot stand idly by...

I nodded slightly and asked Zuo: "Do you say that the incident in the court was also due to this?"

Zuo nodded, and said cautiously: "What kind of chaos in the court is impossible to tell for a while, only knows one, the prince in the hall heard the princess'distressed', and fainted unconsciously on the spot. Major and minor affairs are temporarily presided over by the two capitals of the cabinet; secondly, someone once saw the son Ma Song Langsheng appearing by the riverside before the princess was "killed", acting secretively, and the suspects were difficult to remove.

My heart was hanging down. Song Langsheng had secretly left Beijing to investigate the case. Nowadays, it is secretly repatriated until Shen Fang rescued me. All these joints are indescribable, and the current situation is inevitable.

Zuo asked: "Should the princess show up to the center immediately to help the prince and rescue the consort before making any plans?"

I sat down and thought for a while, then stood up and paced back and forth, having to stand still, and finally shook my head.

Ah Zuo Ah You looked at me suspiciously.

Since someone wants to put me to death, I can't evade again and again, only facing the enemy head-on.

I said: "This chaos is time to take care of it."
