My wife is not a demon

"what--"

The bustard behind Shao Si Ming screamed.

Chapter 694 Today Is April Fool's Day?

Yu Tietou found a nearby teahouse, and was alone in a box with Chen Mu.

When the children in the teahouse brought the teapot, the old man motioned for his subordinates to stand guard outside the door, and made tea for Chen Mu himself.

Chen Mu took it, pretending to be sincere and apprehensive: "Mr. Yu, this is really offending me."

"You are now a lord, and you are also a famous emperor in the Jianghu. If the old man does not treat each other with sincerity, you will be suspected instead."

Yu Tietou said lightly.

Chen Mu had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Your Excellency, there is no need to sarcasm, this lord is worthy of a name. As for the emperor, outsiders say that I am the most unworthy emperor in the history of the Yin Yang sect. Now it is completely a joke in the eyes of others." .”

A smile appeared on Yu Tietou's always tense face.

He gently rolled up his sleeves and picked up the teacup. When he wanted to speak, he coughed again, and his wrinkled face flushed a little.

The tea in the porcelain cup in his hand also spilled a little.

Chen Mu frowned.

He remembered that it was mentioned in the Suzaku Hall information that Yu Tietou suddenly passed out at home a few days ago. It seems that his body was overloaded due to his heavy work on weekdays.

If things go on like this, this old body will collapse sooner or later.

When the other party stopped coughing, Chen Mu said with concern: "Old Yu, you still need to rest more when it's time to rest. After all, the body is the capital."

Yu Tietou waved his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped off the tea splashed on the back of his hand.

"Master Chen has been in the capital for almost a year now."

Yu Tietou asked.

Chen Mu nodded with a smile: "If Mr. Yu didn't remind me, I thought it would only be two or three months. Time flies by."

"It's pretty fast."

Yu Tietou's eyes were gloomy. "A lot of things have happened, and it seems that nothing has happened."

"Well, it is."

Chen Mu complained in his heart that the other party was talking nonsense, but his face showed agreement.

He didn't feel bad for the old man, nor did he have much affection for him.

There is nothing to say in terms of official morality, and political ability is also quite skillful. Although pedantic, he is not ignorant, and although he is conservative, he is not stubborn.

Overall, he is a capable minister.

It is much more valuable than him, a character who knows how to play with women all day long and solves cases in his spare time, and is irreplaceable.

"The matter of Fenghua City, the old man probably understands clearly."

Yu Tietou looked very lonely, and his voice was tired and weak: "Perhaps you don't know, although Deng Wensheng is only a little younger than this old man, he was my favorite student in the past, and I gave him high hopes."

Chen Mu was taken aback.

It turned out to be the case.

From this point of view, Yu Tietou fainted suddenly a few days ago, probably because he learned what Deng Wensheng had done and passed out directly from anger.

A little sad.

Chen Mu didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

Whether it is sympathy or irony, it is indeed a major blow to this veteran of the two dynasties.

"Some are born for wealth, some are born for fame, some are born for common people, and some are born for self..." Yu Tietou said slowly. "No matter what, the unjust debts of those dead people in Fenghua City should be counted on the old man's head."

"This matter has nothing to do with Lord Yu. Even the queen mother and the emperor didn't expect this to happen, including me."

Chen Mu said.

Although he guessed that Deng Wensheng's character was violent at the time, he really didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

Yu Tietou laughed at himself and shook his head: "The more obsessed some people become, the more childish and scary they become. Wen Sheng wanted to leave his name forever, but he forgot that time is an extremely sharp knife, it will kill all those All the illusory camouflage reveals the truth."

The old man looked at Chen Mu, his eyes filled with inexplicable sorrow.

"Today you are a hero, but a hundred years later people will discover that you are actually a devil. Today you die bearing thousands of infamy, and a hundred years later someone will clear up your injustice.

No one can deceive the world forever, because history...is never paved with lies.Those things that you are attached to, after all, are like flowers in the mirror..."

Chen Mu listened quietly, like a student listening to a teacher.

It could be heard that the old man was a little disheartened.

The student he had hoped for failed to go on the right path, and eventually fell into a daze, unable to see the essence of the matter clearly.

Nothing hurts more than this.

Yu Tietou talked a lot, as if he wanted to find someone to confide in his inner distress.

After a long time, he took a sip of tea to moisturize his dry lips, and his voice was as soft as catkins, as if he was saying to himself: "I really can't hold on anymore."

At this moment, Chen Mu looked at the old man in front of him, and thought of the words 'the dying years'.

Chen Mu didn't know how to talk, but just drank tea silently.

Yu Tietou suddenly asked: "Chen Mu, who do you think is the real mastermind behind Dongzhou and Fenghua City? Is it the queen mother or the emperor?"

Chen Mu didn't expect the other party to directly ask such a sensitive topic.

He instinctively wanted to say some official words to deal with it, looked at the other party's sincere eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Maybe both of them are behind the scenes. Although the queen mother and the emperor compete on the surface, they have common interests behind the scenes that need to be protected." .”

"What's the purpose?" Yu Lao asked again.

Chen Mu shook his head: "I don't know, but I have a hunch that Fenghua City will not be the last one, maybe there will be."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I have no plans. If I encounter it, I will try my best to save it. If I don't encounter it, then I can't help it. After all, I am not a saint."

Chen Mu said realistically.
