A traitor

After moving into the government office, Su Qinglang and Mei Liusheng lived in the East Wing, while Sun Zizhong and Lu Xun lived in the West Wing.

Sun Zizhong didn't know about what happened last night, but because he was angry with Su Qinglang's behavior, he was angry for a while and didn't ask about it.

In the morning, after finishing breakfast, he was packing his luggage in the room, and he heard Yu Huaizhong sent someone to say that Su Qinglang wanted to stay here for a few more days. Thinking of the beauty's kindness, Mr. Su had lost his head, and his grandson was furious. Throwing the bag to the ground, he sat in the pavilion drinking tea angrily.

The surrounding woods are shaded, colorful koi fish are raised in the small lake under the pavilion, and the vegetation and flowers on the shore are full of flowers, and there are bursts of fragrance from time to time.

Seeing Su Qinglang approaching, Sun Zizhong's face darkened, he put on an unhappy look, and said to him: "Master Su is not in the room with the beauty, why did you think of coming here?"

Su Qinglang waved her fan happily, and said with a playful smile: "Although a beauty is good, how can she compare to you, Zizhong..."

Listening to him doing Tai Chi with himself, Sun Zizhong's face sank a bit, and he frowned and said, "Qinglang, I can ignore you for other things, but last night, it was too nonsense. See if I don't tell Erniang when I go back, let her Good life to discipline you."

Seeing him mention Liang's, Su Qinglang hurriedly said: "Wait, Zizhong, listen to me first..."

He sat down opposite Sun Zizhong, spread his hands, and said innocently: "Last night, that dancer pointed a knife at me. I had no choice but to do that. You have known me for many years. When have you seen me so disrespectful?" Do you understand etiquette?"

Sun Zizhong thought about it the other way around, and heard that the dancer had a problem, so his expression became serious: "What's going on?"

Su Qinglang leaned sideways on the stone table, crossed his legs, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, while eating, he said: "I have a grudge with Yu Huaizhong, I thought I was a life-saving straw, so I was kidnapped, you know After my identification, he clamored to kill me, but luckily Brother Mei arrived, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to see me today.”

Afterwards, he briefly told Sun Zizhong about Meng Shuyao and what happened last night.

After Sun Zizhong heard this, he frowned worriedly and said, "Brother Mei's injury is not a serious problem, is it?"

Su Qinglang said: "It's nothing serious, when I went to see him just now, he was still standing in the yard blowing the air! That man, even though his martial arts are not very good, his body is quite strong."

Hearing his words to ridicule Mei Liusheng, Sun Zizhong rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said again: "However, he has saved you. Fortunately, I also know some medical skills. I will go and have a look later, and thank him for his kindness." Thank you for saving your life; secondly, it’s better to take a look at his injury, it’s summer now, the wound is prone to inflammation, it’s better to be more careful.”

Su Qinglang hummed, and heard him say again: "What are you going to do with Miss Meng's matter?"

Su Qinglang nibbled on the melon seeds, and replied: "It's already been handed over to Mei Liusheng, you know, it's not convenient for me to interfere in this matter."

Sun Tzuzhong nodded, and said again: "Your side...doesn't matter?"

Su Qinglang smiled slightly when he heard the words: "It's not me and Mr. Xiang who killed people. If it's about accepting bribes, Mr. Xiang has plenty of ways to get out, and that's what Meng Shuyao wants.

It's just to avenge my father's injustice and bring Yu Huaizhong to justice. Just relying on this little thing, I want to bring down me and Mr. Xiang, it's just a dream. "

Sun Zizhong's words faltered, and he was about to persuade Su Qinglang and Qin Jian to draw a clear line, but thinking of those similar conversations in the past, he finally gave up.

He was silent for a moment, and said: "I'm just worried that this matter is still related to you, and Prime Minister Qin may blame you."

Su Qinglang had a careless expression. Hearing this, he stopped for a moment, and then said leisurely: "It's okay. If I dare to leave this matter to Brother Mei, I will be able to protect myself. Besides, with Brother Mei's Obviously, the mind will not be so stupid as to fight against the Prime Minister with great fanfare, so let's just pretend that we don't know about this matter."

Sun Tzuzhong looked puzzled: "You mean..."

Su Qinglang raised his eyes and smiled again, threw away the melon seed husk, picked up the cup in front of Sun Zizhong and said, "The emperor asked Brother Lu to follow us, this decision is really great."

Seeing him pick up his own cup, Sun Zizhong was about to stop him, but seeing him raise his head and take a sip, he had no choice but to give up and took another cup for himself.

He said angrily: "Qinglang, when will you be able to get rid of this problem, it's fine if you're in your own house, if you are seen by others, what will you look like?"

Holding the cup, Su Qinglang pursed his mouth slightly, looking very aggrieved and innocent: "Is Zizhong despising me?"

"Of course not." Sun Zizhong sighed again, like an old mother who took care of children, and said earnestly: "I'm just afraid that you will develop this habit. When you turn around, you will go to someone else again. You and I have known each other for many years. It’s okay to get close, but as for others, especially those who don’t know the basics, you have to be more careful.”

As Su Qinglang listened, he felt in a daze that he seemed to have heard these words before. Thinking about it again, Xie Yu often said this to him before.

At that time, they had just decided to be together, filled with joy, but also a little apprehensive.

After all, they had never been in love with anyone before that, and they didn't know what love was, let alone how to deal with the relationship between two men.

Especially himself, even though he had already agreed to Xie Yu, he was still a little scared, afraid of being known by outsiders, afraid of being found out by his family.

After all, such feelings, in the eyes of the world, are so rebellious. Perhaps it was this kind of hesitation that caused Xie Yu to misunderstand, thinking that he was not sincere, but was coerced by his feelings, fearing that their feelings would break, so he decided to Reluctantly, he reluctantly obeyed himself.

During that time, they couldn't find a suitable distance to deal with the relationship between the two of them. If they were far away, it would be the same as before. If they were closer, they would feel awkward and awkward.

In short, they still couldn't cross the hurdle in their hearts, so the contradictions became deeper and deeper, and the rift between them became bigger and bigger.

He blamed Xie Yu for meddling too much, Xie Yu blamed him for being too close to others, even Xu Hanwen and Liu Jingzhi were innocently hurt.

Quarrels again and again, reconciliations again and again, self-righteous compromises and concessions again and again, each time Xie Yu always had to pull down his face and coax him to give up.

Thinking about it now, how naive he was at that time, so what if he bowed his head once?He has been thinking about winning or losing, right or wrong, but he has never considered what Xie Yu is afraid of.

That person always bears with him and tolerates him, always thinking that after going through so much, there will be no twists and turns between them, but he never thought that this would be the result...

Su Qinglang put down the cup, and suddenly asked him, "What do you think of Mei Liusheng?"

Sun Zizhong was startled, thought for a while, and replied: "I'm not familiar with him, and I haven't paid attention to him deliberately, so I don't know much about it, but he feels a little strange."

Su Qinglang raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?"

Sun Tzuzhong thought for a moment, and then said: "He is considerate and thoughtful. He seems to be very kind to everyone, but he seems to have reservations. He is not as sincere as he appears on the surface. He is often far and near, making it difficult to see clearly. It feels like..."

He raised his eyes, and before he could say anything, he heard Su Qinglang say on his behalf: "He must be hiding something."

Sun Zizhong's eyes widened subconsciously, a little surprised, and finally restrained his expression, and said to Su Qinglang: "I thought it was only me who thought so."

Su Qinglang shook his head. He stood up, with his hands behind his back, facing the scenery under the pavilion: "Everyone has his secrets. It's understandable that he doesn't want others to know. However, there is one thing that confuses me. care……"

Sun Tzu groaned, and heard him say again: "Do you still remember that a few days ago, we stayed in an inn, where a man who claimed to be from the same town came to look for Mei Liusheng?"

Sun Tzuzhong looked at him sideways, waiting for his next words——

"With his past disposition, if he heard that a fellow countryman was coming to see him, he would go out to greet him very warmly. Even if he didn't do so, there was a servant present at that time, and he only needed to give orders. But at that time, he asked Mr. Chengying Go out and have a look, what you say and do, it seems that you deliberately did it for me..."

"What's even more strange is that after Chengying went out, when he came back, the fellow countryman didn't come with him. According to Chengying, the other party suddenly thought of something and left in a hurry. Such an explanation is really far-fetched. After all, it's too coincidental..."

Sun Zizhong hummed, and said again: "Does Mei Liusheng know that you are doubting this matter?"

Su Qinglang smiled bitterly, and said: "I must have noticed it. I felt strange at the time, so I tried to test it out. However, he blocked them and came back, and I didn't find anything."

Sun Zizhong fell silent, his expression more gloomy than before, and then asked him, "What do you need me to do?"

Su Qinglang turned around to look at him, and said slowly: "Mei Liusheng must have already become suspicious of me, so it's inconvenient for me to pursue this matter. However, Mr. Sun has been in the court for many years, and old acquaintances are all over the world. It is not difficult to find a scholar, that person is from Huaiyang, and he just took the scientific examination this year, I want to know his whereabouts."

Sun Tzuzhong nodded in agreement, nodded and said, "I will write a letter to my grandfather tonight, asking him to investigate this matter."

"there's one more thing……"

Su Qinglang continued: "No matter what the result is, please keep this matter a secret from Boss Sun. On the side of Boss Sun, you just say that the scholar is an old friend of your friend. After he came to participate in the scientific examination, he will never come again." No news, he was very worried, so he asked you to inquire about him. As for Mei Liusheng, don't mention it to Mr. Sun... I have a hunch that things are not as simple as we thought. You can’t scare the snakes.”

Sun Tzuzhong heard the words and said solemnly: "Okay..."

Hearing Su Qinglang sigh again, he murmured: "If things are really as I guessed, that scholar must be gone, but..."

He frowned slightly, with a rather worried expression on his face: "If it's really what I think, Mei Liusheng is not Mei Liusheng, then who is he?"
