Placid Chang'an

Su Cen instantly understood what Ning Santong said was the gift for him.

He really wants to find Cui Hao now, but not in this way of meeting.

Su Cen frowned, "You let Ah Fu go, this matter has nothing to do with him."

"Zhong Pei is dead!" Cui Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were also bloodstained, so that he wobbled violently, leaving several blood marks on Ah Fu's neck.

Ah Fu really wanted to cry, but in the evening when he was preparing dinner, he heard someone knocking on the door. After opening the door, he didn't see anyone, only a big box was left at the door.He opened it and saw that there was a big living person inside, tightly bound, with a pair of eyes staring at him viciously.

He let him go without saying a word.

As a result, the man took out a dagger with his backhand and hijacked him.

Isn't this the story of Mr. and Wolf, Farmer and Snake, Lu Dongbin and Dog that Second Young Master told him? !

It's all his fault that he dozed off while listening to it, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into this fate.

"I'm also very sad about Liu Xiang." Su Cen said in a deep voice, "But you can't blame others for this."

"You said you would help him!" Cui Hao's eyes were tearing apart, his eyes were bloodshot, "You said you would help him, so he will tell you everything, but you let someone come in under your nose Killed Zhong Pei, Su Cen, anyone may be innocent, but you are absolutely inseparable!"

As soon as Ah Fu heard that this person was going to harm his young master, he straightened up in a hurry, "Second young master, leave me alone, you can go!"

There was another bloody gash on the neck immediately.

"Cui Hao!" Su Cen hurriedly said, "I am responsible for Liu Xiang's death, but Ah Fu is innocent. You are looking for me. If you let him go, I will replace him!"

"Brother Su!" Qu Ling'er hastily pulled Su Cen from behind.

Su Cen patted Qu Linger's hand lightly, "He won't kill me."

Qu Ling'er struggled for a while and finally let go. Su Cen stepped forward step by step, and when he stood face to face with Ah Fu, he slowly raised his hand to move Cui Hao's blade away a little, and nodded to Ah Fu.

Ah Fu's feet went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.

In the next moment, Cui Hao pushed Ah Fu away, and stabbed Su Cen with the tip of the knife!

Su Cen didn't dodge or dodge, and watched the tip of the knife fall, and finally stopped half an inch away from his forehead.

Both Qu Linger and Ah Fu gasped.

"You won't kill me." Su Cen looked directly at Cui Hao, "You still point at me to rehabilitate Liu Xiang. If I die, Liu Xiang will die in vain."

Cui Hao gritted his teeth in resentment. He really wanted to stab the knife...but he couldn't. The person who forced Zhong Pei to death has not been caught yet, and Zhong Pei's charges have not been cleared. If Su Cen dies, , No one will check these anymore.

"Can we go into the room to talk?" Su Cen said, "If someone overhears and sees you here, I'm afraid it will be bad for you."

Cui Hao glanced at the open courtyard door, and could even hear the noisy voices in the courtyard next door. Knowing that what Su Cen said was true, he turned the knife around and put the dagger on Su Cen's neck again, "Go !"

The room was completely dark, and when everyone came in, Ah Fu turned on the lamp, and Cui Hao held Su Cen to sit in a corner, leaning against the wall on both sides to prevent someone from sneaking behind him.

"What did Lu Xun say to Liu Xiang?" Su Cen broke the silence first, "Why did Liu Xiang commit suicide?"

As soon as Liu Zhen was mentioned, Cui Hao's mood fluctuated again in an instant, and the sharp dagger was slashed against Su Cen's lifeline several times, making Qu Ling'er and Ah Fu tremble with fear.

"Suicide..." Cui Hao pulled the corners of his lips, but his smile was uglier than crying, "How desperate he must be to choose to commit suicide!"

"Didn't you always want to know why Zhong Pei was the No. It was only because Zhong Pei was obedient that they decided to keep him!"

Cui Hao seemed to have heard some funny joke, and buried his head to laugh heart-piercingly. The tears finally burst and rolled down his face, like two hideous scars.Looking up again, his eyes suddenly became fierce, "Obviously they threatened Zhong Pei to kill Tian Pingzhi. After Tian Pingzhi died by accident, they thought it was Zhong Pei who killed him! Zhong Pei has already handed in a blank paper. They want to stay away from disputes, but they must keep him, the purpose is to keep a puppet who is obedient and has a handle in their hands for them to drive!"

Cui Hao took a few deep breaths before suppressing his anger. Even Su Cen, who was held hostage, could feel the deep despair.If someone told him that his title of No. [-] Scholar also came from a conspiracy, but the moment he was named on the gold list was the beginning of a nightmare. With his temperament, he might not make it to this day. .

Cui Hao leaned back against the wall lightly, his eyes finally softened a bit, "The first time I saw Zhong Pei was at the Qionglin Banquet, he was tall and heroic. I respect him and respect him, but when I get closer He, I just found out that he is not as famous as he appears on the surface. So I decided, I want to love him. "

The thick sorrow was revealed after the anger, and it was so thick that it was breathless.

"He is originally a character who does not compete with the world, but someone always forces him to fight for this and that. He knows that the first emperor is not a wise king, and the Empress Dowager Chu is not a wise king, but what can he do? He just wants to live! He has so much he can't do, he knows that sometimes Li Shi is right, but what can he do? What can he do?!"

"He was also a young man with unparalleled demeanor. Back then, he also had the desire to go to the community with enthusiasm, dreaming that one day he would be an official and a half-job, and petition for the common people." Cui Hao tightly pursed his lips, and the words he said were icy cold: "In this court, his talent is useless."

Su Cen lowered his eyes lightly, "It's the court who's sorry for him, and it's Da Zhou who failed Liu Xiang."

"He finally did something that fulfilled his wish," Cui Hao's eyes suddenly hardened, "but I can't let him go so aggrieved! He wants to die to save you, so I'll drag you to go with him." Bury Zhong Pei with him!"

Su Cen frowned. Cui Hao's mood is extremely unstable now. This matter involves a lot. He couldn't let Cui Hao act willfully. He comforted him, "Trust me, I will give Prime Minister Liu justice."

"Why should I trust you?" Cui Hao's eyes hardened, and the knife edge suddenly tightened on Su Cen's neck, "You were the one who killed Zhong Pei!"

Su Cen said softly, "Because Liu Xiang believes in me."

Cui Hao's voice became hoarse, and his hands suddenly stopped.

Zhong Pei did believe in Su Cen, and once praised Su Cen's strength, he believed in Zhong Pei's vision, if not, he would not deliberately sell a loophole to Ning San, and then ask Ning San to send him back.

Su Cen knew that Liu Xiang was Cui Hao's weak spot. Seeing that he had managed to stabilize himself, he persisted, "Since Da Zhou owed Liu Xiang, he should pay the price. I assure you, Liu Xiang will not be in vain." Die. But you also have to promise me that you can't be arrogant and play into someone's arms."

Cui Hao frowned and struggled for a long time, finally looked at Su Cen and asked, "Can I still trust you?"

"Tomorrow, I will explain everything in the courtroom where Liu Xiang stood." Su Cen tilted his head and looked at the dagger on his neck. "If you don't trust me, you can kill me now. I."

Cui Hao was silent for a moment, and said: "Then tomorrow, I will go with you."

Su Cen hesitated for a while, anyway, it was the imperial palace after all, it was not easy to bring a living person in, and this person should have left Beijing long ago.

At the end of thinking, Su Cen nodded slightly.

After a while, Cui Hao let go of his hand slowly, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clatter.

In fact, Su Cen has already seen that Cui Hao is already at the end of his strength, relying on that little anger to support him, once it is exhausted, he will not even have the strength to hold the knife.

Cui Hao leaned against the corner with dull eyes, humming some tune in a low voice, and could vaguely hear a folk song from the north.

Su Cen vaguely remembered that Cui Hao was from Hongzhou, an out-and-out southerner, and Liu Zhen was from Youzhou, which was close to the sixteen states of Yanyun, where the nomads would hum this ditty when they herded sheep. Son.

Back then, the high-spirited young man entered Chang'an City, but never got out again.

Seeing that people had completely put down their guard, Su Cen made a sudden movement, picked up the dagger on the ground, and threw it to Qu Ling'er.

Qu Ling'er caught the dagger, stepped forward treacherously, and instantly controlled Cui Hao within the range he could control.

Cui Hao: "!"

The situation took a turn for the worse!

Su Cen pursed her lips, "I will definitely do what I said, but I have to meet someone now."

"Su Cen, you!" Cui Hao struggled a few times, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He stared at Su Cen viciously, wishing he could swallow his life alive.

"Ling'er, I leave this place to you."

Qu Ling'er nodded, "Brother Su, you can go."

Su Cen ran a few steps outside, then turned around again, "I will definitely be back before dawn."

Before Cui Hao could react, Su Cen plunged into the night.
