The man in shackles was brought into a small courtyard, and he was forced to kneel in the room before tearing off the black hood. He struggled to raise his head, and saw the man in front of him, "Su Shiyu?"

The young and middle-aged man with bright lights smiled faintly, "Do you recognize me?"

Ji Heng looked around, there was not a single window open here, it was clearly daytime but no light from the sky could penetrate, and the layout of the house was extremely simple, except for a pair of tables and chairs in front, it was completely empty, at this moment the two sides of the house Those who looked like guards stood quietly, showing a cold and stern expression for no reason.He stared at Su Shiyu, "This is not Yushitai, what do you want to do?"

"Excuse me, I have a few words to ask you." Su Shiyu said, "But you can rest assured, I just lend you some time, and I will send you back to Yushitai later."

"I have confessed everything I know." Ji Heng said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, I have nothing to say."

Su Shiyu chuckled lightly: "I didn't say to inquire about the case, you don't have to."

"Then what do you want to ask?"

Su Shiyu sighed softly, "Did you kill Mu Lahe with your own hands?"

"Yes."

"In your confession, you said that you were instigated by others, so the turmoil when you met her was also carefully designed?"

Ji Heng didn't know why, so he said frankly: "Yes. I already have a wife in my family. If it wasn't for the coercion, who would run to a ghostly place like Loulan to do business."

Su Shiyu's eyes moved slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Did you ever feel unbearable when you attacked?"

The confusion in Ji Heng's eyes faded away, he looked straight at Su Shiyu, and suddenly smiled, as if he felt that his question was extremely absurd, "It turns out that Lord Yushi is still so naive," he said amusedly, "Since he approached Su Shiyu with a purpose in the first place." Yes, who would really fall in love with chess pieces?"

It has always been like this, no matter how long they have been relative to each other, they are just acting on the occasion. The chess players only see strategy and fighting, how can they tell if they really fall in love with the chess pieces?

Only those who fall are stupid.

Su Shiyu looked at Shang Ji Heng's gaze, his eyes were deep, then nodded, and smiled lightly: "You are right."

After saying that, Su Shiyu took out a celadon bottle from his sleeve, and the guard at the side bowed to take it, and someone next to him immediately came up and pinched Ji Heng's cheeks, forcing him to open his mouth. Ji Heng gritted his teeth in a hurry, struggling hard, but He was hit hard by a sharp weapon on his back, and something fell into his flesh. He cried out in pain, and a pill was stuffed into his mouth through the gap and rolled down the throat.Ji Heng coughed violently twice, and shouted in surprise, "What are you doing?!"

"Don't worry, what I gave you is the heart-protecting pill." Su Shiyu took back the porcelain bottle, "You will be handed over to Loulan in the end, and I will never take your life right now."

Ji Heng immediately understood, "Su Shiyu, as the imperial censor, do you still want to torture the prisoners?!"

"Of course not, Doctor Yushi." Su Shiyu looked at him, and said with a faint smile, "But these people are my privately hired bodyguards, and this is my private house. I have a personal enmity with you, and it has nothing to do with official duties."

"Private enmity?" Ji Heng couldn't believe it, "What personal enmity do I have with you?"

Su Shiyu's smile deepened, and he lowered his eyes and said, "My younger sister doesn't have a good eye for people. As a brother...you have to take care of her." Without waiting for Ji Heng, who was full of astonishment, to react, he picked up a cup and took a light drink A sip of spring tea,

"Go ahead."

Chu Mingyun put down his pen casually, and looked up at Qin Zhao, "I can't find out, what does that mean?"

"Yan Ye said that the news in Yushitai was also tightly sealed. I only heard that Ji Heng was on the verge of death when he was escorted here, but few people except Su Shiyu and Yushi Zhongcheng could see him. I don't know if it is true or not. And the confession is all in the hands of Su Shiyu, and even the person who transported it didn't know what was written in it."

"It's rare, it doesn't look like love." Chu Mingyun frowned slightly, "Thinking about it carefully, these days are really troublesome."

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Go and investigate someone."

"who?"

Chu Mingyun raised the corners of his lips, "That Lady Zhaoyi in the palace, Jiang Yuan."

Qin Zhao nodded in response.He suddenly sighed again, "But this matter can't be ignored, why don't I ask Su Shiyu in person again?"

"Su Shiyu may not be able to tell the truth." Qin Zhao said.

Chu Mingyun pressed his fingers against his chin, "It makes sense, then do you think it's better for me to go during the day or at night?"

"Senior Brother," Qin Zhao called him suddenly, and whispered, "Kill him."

Chu Mingyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked sideways at him: "What did you just say?"

"Kill him," Qin Zhao repeated. "It's been so long, and we still can't find out about Su Shiyu. Since he can't be shaken, we might as well just kill him. No matter how good he is, he can't match the crowd tactics. A hundred people If you can't kill him, there are only two hundred people, as long as he is dead, we will have no obstacles."

"If Su Shiyu is dead, we will have no obstacles. You are right." Chu Mingyun stared at Qin Zhao, and suddenly frowned and smiled, "But I don't."

"Why?" Qin Zhao blurted out.

Chu Mingyun withdrew his gaze, and said slowly: "I think Su Shiyu is pretty good, it would be so boring if he died."

"Where is it good?" Qin Zhao asked.

"He peeled and ate oranges for me on New Year's Eve." Chu Mingyun said casually.

For a moment, he almost thought that Qin Zhao was going to overcome his facial paralysis and show him a heartbroken expression, but it was a pity that Qin Zhao finally pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, "Brother..."

"Why are you so hostile to Su Shiyu?" Chu Mingyun interrupted him.

Qin Zhao kept silent, the line of his lips tensed.

Chu Mingyun looked at him slowly, and suddenly laughed, "Let me guess, you didn't treat Su Shiyu as a love rival because of Du Yue's cousin all day long, right?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyes and remained silent, taking it as an acquiescence.

He is no more than a mortal, his heart is narrow, and there is only room for two people in his eyes.Since the existence of Su Shiyu has an impact on both Chu Mingyun and Du Yue, why can't he be killed?

Chu Mingyun laughed wantonly for a long time, and seeing him like this in a blink of an eye, the smile disappeared completely, "Qin Zhao," his voice became slightly colder, "I completely forgot about this idea."

"Why?" Qin Zhao suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at him, "Brother, are you really tempted by him?"

Chu Mingyun was taken aback, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Then why don't you kill him?"

Chu Mingyun thought his idea was ridiculous, but he didn't know where to start to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, "There are naturally many reasons for not killing a person, and it may not be what you think. For example, in the current situation, Su Shiyu must live , it would be much better for us if he lived."

Qin Zhao looked at him expressionlessly.

Chu Mingyun frowned, and asked again after a long time: "How could I be tempted by him?" He paused, as if he believed in the words as he spoke, stretched his brows, and said with a low laugh : "Su Shiyu is warm-hearted and cold-hearted, his emotions and anger are invisible, and he hides them very deeply. Everyone says that he is a person who has no intentions. If anyone is tempted by him, it will really be over."

Qin Zhao was silent and didn't ask any more questions.

A maidservant in green clothes passed by the window, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head and took a look into the room.

"That's what he said?" Su Shiyu looked away from the melody, pondered for a moment, then smiled slowly, nodded and said, "The evaluation is correct."

The maidservant in Tsing Yi knelt in front of the desk, and said in astonishment, "Master?"

"But you forgot that your mission is different from the past, and you don't need to inquire about the news," Su Shiyu said with a light smile, "Just take good care of Ayue, and you don't need to report these words to me in the future."

The maidservant in Tsing Yi buried her head deeply, answering in a low voice.

Su Shiyu nodded, "Go back quickly, so as not to arouse suspicion." He watched the other party retreat respectfully, his eyes fell on the jade pendant at hand, he was absorbed in thought for a long time, and finally smiled faintly.

——Only those who fall are fools.
