really you

With the speed of Gong Yuwei's words and the unwavering look in his eyes, Jing Changji deduced that he was not telling lies.

But Jing Changji noticed that when Gong Yuwei spoke, his thumb rubbed against his fingers inadvertently, and the wrench worn on his right thumb was spinning because of this.

This is a little habit that Gong Yuwei doesn't even know about. He does this when he thinks about how to speak cautiously.

Jing Changji had observed his habit before, but he didn't mention it.

Now this is Jing Changji's way of realizing that Gong Yuwei didn't tell all the truth.

He didn't tell lies, so he wouldn't look away, but his words seemed to reassure and reassure, but he also avoided the important ones.

Gong Yuwei mentioned that he never had any intention of harming others, nor did he blame Jing Changji and his brother, this is true.But he avoided mentioning the other thing that Jing Changji said, someone gave him medicine.

The point of Gong Yuwei's remarks is that he has not blamed them, but he did not guarantee that he did not drug them.

Jing Changji's silence after listening made the two gradually calm down, and Jia Maohan wiped his face: "You...don't believe us?"

Jing Changji's eyes turned from his face to Gong Yuwei: "I don't believe him."

Gong Yuwei showed surprise: "Chang Ji, do you suspect that I have harmed you and Brother Jing? Why did I do this? What good does it do me?"

Jing Changji: "You didn't hurt my brother's heart, but you were the one who drugged me that night, right?"

Gong Yuwei immediately denied it: "No." But after speaking, he turned his eyes away, not daring to meet the youth's clear eyes.

Jing Changji: "You probably don't know it yourself. When you play tricks, you will unconsciously turn your thumbs and fingers, right? You just turned it. You didn't hurt my brothers, but you didn't mention the matter of drugging. "

Jia Maohan turned his head in disbelief: "Good job, Gong Yuwei! The three of us grew up together, and we just became sworn brothers. You hurt your brother? Are you shameless?" Gong Yuwei was about to be beaten by the collar.

The group of them followed Jing Changji's lead, because Jing Changji was good-looking, had a good family background, and he was brotherly loyal and generous. They were all willing to listen to him and play with him, but someone wanted to kill his brother?

Jing Changji sat there without moving. When Jia Maohan punched down, Gong Yuwei didn't look at him, but turned to look at Jing Changji.

There was chaos in the wing room, no matter how much Jia Maohan punched and kicked, Gong Yuwei didn't speak again, but was inexplicably happy that Jing Changji knew him so well.

Jia Maohan looked at this with almost [-]% to [-]% certainty: "You bastard, it's really you!"

At this moment, a scream came from outside: "What's going on inside? Who are you? Why are you stopping me? Mr. Gong? Are you safe? Let me in!"

Gong Yuwei reacted at this time, and even panicked: "Don't come in!"

Jing Changji said, "Let him in."

The person who came had a high-pitched voice, with a gentle accent, he had just sung on stage, and he showed so much interest in Gong Yuwei, he should be the boy in Tsing Yi that Gong Yuwei had recently become obsessed with, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

The door was opened, and a young man dressed in costume and Tsing Yi rushed in. Seeing Gong Yuwei being beaten, he immediately stepped forward, but was afraid of Jia Maohan's fist, so he could only kneel down in front of Jing Changji, and begged: " Second Young Master Jing, if you fight again, something will happen."

The back door was closed again after the boy came in, and Jing Changji originally thought that Gong Yuwei cared too much about the boy and was afraid that he would attack him, but now he was very close to the boy, and Gong Yuwei just looked at Jing Changji nervously.

Jing Changji squinted his eyes, always feeling that something was wrong, so he went to look at the boy again.

At the moment the young man is dressed in green clothes, with a broad robe and a slender waist, and his eyebrows and eyes are delicately and slender. He only feels familiar, but it is not obvious from a distance, but it is inexplicably familiar at this moment when he is close at hand.

When he finally understood what the boy looked like, Jing Changji suddenly turned his head to look at Gong Yuwei.

The latter half-kneeled there trembling all over, with the front of his clothes still held in Jia Maohan's hands, his gaze fell on Jing Changji's face obsessively, and he begged: "Changji..."

Jing Changji stood up abruptly, his face was ashen, and he still begged with the reversed Tsing Yi, especially at this moment, the eyebrows and eyes that were a little bit like him after dressing up only made Jing Changji feel awkward, and gritted his teeth: "Go out."

Tsing Yi wanted to plead for mercy, but seeing the chill on Shang Jing Changji's body and suddenly remembering the rumors in the market today, he realized that this man might still be carrying his life behind his back.

No longer caring about Gong Yuwei, he staggered and ran out in a panic.

He patted on the door, but the attendants outside did not open it until Jing Changji opened his mouth, the door opened and closed again, Jing Changji strode over and punched Gong Yuwei in the face.

Although Jia Maohan was beating him, he didn't use much force, and he was still thinking about brotherly loyalty.

Jing Changji's punch directly knocked Gong Yuwei down, his face was bloody and he smiled, "Changji, you also care about me, right? Even I don't know about those little habits, but you can see them." Remember, we..."

Jing Changji punched him down again.

Jia Maohan was frightened, and quickly hugged Jing Changji: "Chang, Changji, don't hit me, it will kill you!" He originally thought that Yuwei was drugged, but he really had no intention of harming others, so He didn't kill him, but Chang Ji's two punches were deadly.

Jing Changji stared at Gong Yuwei, biting his back molars.

Gong Yuwei knew that he was finished, and he smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I didn't do anything. I just...wanted to look at you while you were drunk and sleepy, I was afraid that you would wake up and drive people away. But you are really fascinated I'm dizzy, and I'm afraid you'll find out later that you can't even make a brother.

So I helped you to the couch and left. In order to punish myself, I also drank the same drugged wine and fell asleep for a day and a night, which was later than you woke up.I'm just, just... Changji, can't we be brothers? "

So he would rather be beaten than speak out, but he was discovered anyway.

Jia Maohan froze in place, and when he realized the meaning behind Gong Yuwei's words, he looked at him in disbelief: "You..."

Jing Changji and others confirmed that Gong Yuwei was not lying, and looked at Jia Maohan indifferently: "When will you sleep until the next day?"

Jia Maohan: "Noon, after noon..."

Jing Changji: That was after the incident, I'm afraid we won't get any useful news from the two of them.

Jing Changji didn't want to stay any longer, so he put on his veil again and left without hesitation.

Until the door of the wing room was closed, Jia Maohan looked at Gong Yuwei who was slumped on the ground, raised his fist several times but failed to hit it, and finally flicked his wide sleeves, and hurriedly chased after Jing Changji.

Jia Maohan chased him out of the theatre, Jing Changji had already boarded the carriage and left, he chased for a few steps but failed to catch up, turned his head to look frequently, finally stamped his feet fiercely, and returned to the theatre.

Jing Changji sat on the carriage and ordered in a cold voice, "Go to Yunsheng Casino."

Gong Yuwei probably didn't tell lies, and he didn't dare, but in the first life, he never thought that this person who regarded him as a brother had such thoughts on him, and even in the first life, he was drugged and indirectly caused him to not wake up to see his brother last side.

Jing Changji calmed down and didn't think about the past. There were eight suspects in total. Now excluding the two people who were close to him, there are six people left.

These six people are divided into two groups, the first group of three are Huo Er's followers, and usually follow Huo Er's lead.

Huo Er is the second son of Huo Xiangye, the crown prince is his cousin, and Queen Huo is his aunt, with a high status.But Huo Er is as ignorant as he is, and he ranks among the top three dudes, so Huo Dalang in Fuzhong is Huo Xiang's key training target.

Also because of this elder brother's comparison, Huo Er is more and more out of the picture, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are all available, and there are groups of concubines in the backyard.

It is in sharp contrast to Huo Dalang's cleanliness.

The other three exist independently and need to be explored alone.

Jing Changji planned to go to Yunsheng Casino to find Huo Er's three attendants. They were with Huo Er at that time, so they might know something.

The group usually like to come to Yunsheng Gambling Shop, especially Xu Chunsheng, who is the concubine of Xu Lao, the head of the Imperial Academy, who was brought by Huo Er with all kinds of poisons. I can't help but take a small gamble every day.

Jing Changji didn't get out of the carriage this time. His outfit was too conspicuous in the gambling house. Huo Er had just died. Xu Chunsheng would definitely run away when he saw him. Followed by attendants to bring people out.

After listening to Jing Changji's order, the attendant was silent for a while, and went down to the casino to look for someone.

After a stick of incense, Jing Changji heard the movement and lifted the corner of the curtain. A young man with a thin face and a blue and black face, but now excited at the moment, followed behind the two attendants: "Who is your young master? Are you really going to bring me?" I make a lot of money?"

Because it was a bright day, Xu Chunsheng never thought of danger at all, and he was desperate to make a comeback, so when he heard that there was money to be made, he really followed him.

Xu Chunsheng was pushed into the carriage. As soon as he came in, he turned his head and saw Jing Changji and was about to jump out of the carriage. A sharp dagger lay across his neck: "Try to move?"

Xu Chunsheng broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, his feet were stiff, the voices outside the car were buzzing, and the dead silence behind him made his scalp tingle.

Jing Changji pressed the blade down, blood oozed out, the pain brought Xu Chunsheng back to his senses, and he obediently sat back in the carriage.

Xu Chunsheng trembled and sat still, the carriage drove away immediately.

Xu Chunsheng sneaked a peek at Jing Changji anxiously. He didn't believe it when he heard yesterday that Jing Changji not only openly negotiated with the prince to ask for kindness, but even got involved with the young prince.

"It turns out to be the Second Young Master Jing. If you have any orders, you can just tell me. Such a battle will scare the little ones." Xu Chunsheng kept his head down and kept his head low. bed born.

The old man was disdainful and almost sold her, but the maid was pregnant, and the old lady made the decision to raise her as an aunt, but the mother and child stayed in the side courtyard since childhood, and were not recognized by the old man.

Xu Chunsheng might not even be able to see the old man's face for a year. Apart from his status as a concubine, he is no different from a servant in the mansion. Fortunately, he met Huo Ershao two years ago and managed to gain some face.

Jing Changji took out a bank note, turned it over and put it by his side: "Two choices, one, I ask you to answer, the answer satisfies me, you take the bank note; second, I ask you not to answer, Left and right my brothers from the Jing family were blamed, one life is life, two lives are also life. What do you think?"

Cold sweat slipped from Xu Chunsheng's forehead, and I haven't seen him for a few days. When did this scene look so frightening?No wonder he dared to challenge the prince.

Xu Chunsheng competed with each other, and quickly chose his way out: "Where is the matter, Jing Er Shao wants to ask, the little one knows everything, and he can say everything."

Jing Changji cut to the chase: "Where were you the night before Huo Er died?"

Xu Chunsheng: "The second young master led people to hunt that night, and the group ate a lot of barbecue wine and wine at the dinner party. It was rare for me to drink such good wine, so I drank a few glasses and slept by the fire. Because of my low status, There was no one to take care of me, so I just slept like that all night. The guards patrolling nearby all saw it, and there were some people who testified for Xiao when Dali Temple came to inquire about it earlier."

Jing Changji: "What about after that?"

Xu Chunsheng shook his head: "The little one doesn't even know when it will end. I'll hear about it when I wake up the next day." He took a peek at Jing Changji. brother."

Jing Changji frowned, it seems that Xu Chunsheng's suspicion can be ruled out, the two have no major enmity, even if Xu Chunsheng wants to take advantage of Huo Er's influence to live, the motive does not exist, that is, he has enmity with Huo Er, and even involves human life, He did not hesitate to risk Huo Er's life.

After all, with Huo Er's identity, once something happens, it is by no means a trivial matter.

Jing Changji: "You have stayed by Huo Er's side for two years, has Huo Er ever killed someone?"

Xu Chunsheng's body froze, he bowed his head and said, "No, no."

"Really?" Jing Changji played with the unsheathed dagger, turned the blade, and the light reflected on Xu Chunsheng's face, showing a cold light.

Xu Chunsheng's legs softened: "Little one..."

Jing Changji: "Huo Er is dead, and no one will pursue the past. I will not leak what you said today, and no one will know that you said it."

Xu Chunsheng laughed dryly: "This..."

Jing Changji changed the subject: "But if you don't get what I want, one life is life, two..."

"I said!" Xu Chunsheng was frightened, it's true that Huo Er is dead, life and death are like a lamp going out, those in the past can't be uncovered and whipped corpses.

Xu Chunsheng has just dated Huo Er for two years, and what he knows is also in the last two years: "I haven't heard of killing people, but there is a case of indirect death because of him. Huo Er Shao is lustful, and I have heard others mention Huo Er The other party who once forced a peasant girl from a good family to serve as his housekeeper hanged himself, but then forget about the money. It seems to be the only one, and I don’t know about the older ones or the younger ones.”

Jing Changji: "Is there the nearest one?" To be able to enter the hunting ground and get the Pisces jade pendant to blame their Jing family brothers, it should not be this family, it is not easy for ordinary people to do.

Xu Chunsheng: "I haven't heard of this life, but most of it is Jing Ershao's drunken nonsense, half-truth, half-false, it's really hard to say."

Jing Changji: "Then tell me what nonsense you have said."

Xu Chunsheng was helpless and frightened, and told everything he knew in detail. For example, Jing Er saw that a certain son was not pleasing to the eye and put a sack on him; The student was deliberately squeezed out by Jing Changji's brother; he bribed the oiran who was favored by Jing Er's brothers and wanted to drink Jing Er's drink to watch him make a fool of himself.

Jing Changji frowned and listened to Xu Chunsheng talk about these sneaky things for nearly an hour, and finally Xu Chunsheng also said that he was tired: "These all happened three months ago. During the Chinese New Year, Huo Ershao collided with the elders, I was grounded, and I couldn't leave the mansion for two or three months, and I just got out of the mansion half a month ago, who knows... this kind of thing happened."

Xu Chunsheng's words made Jing Changji also remember that he rarely saw Huo Er some time ago, but he was also beaten during the Chinese New Year because he collided with his father Jing Anhou for being ignorant and hadn't left the house for a while, so he didn't Realized that Huo Er was also locked up.

Jing Changji frowned: "It's not the first time that Huo Er's temperament has contradicted his elders, and he has been locked up for more than two months?"

Xu Chunsheng: "I don't have enough status as a young man, so I only inquired about these things. I really don't know anything else."

Jing Changji: "What about after leaving the mansion? What else has Huo Er done?"

Xu Chunsheng shook his head: "It's too late for bad things, but... there's a romantic thing, does it count?"

Jing Changji didn't want to miss any clues: "Say."

Xu Chunsheng remembers this kind of thing clearly: "Only half a month ago, Second Young Master Huo had just been released from the mansion, went to Yipinzhai with a few young masters, drank a few more glasses of wine, was laughed at by the young masters, and was even beaten by the elders in the mansion. Lesson. Huo Ershao told a romantic story at that time, saying that although he was locked up, there was a little lady from Beijing who came to his house to warm his bed, and he described how beautiful that little lady... was extraordinarily beautiful, little I will write it down."

Jing Changji frowned: "Only these?"

Xu Chunsheng thought about it, and shook his head: "We almost got into a fight. It was because the neighbor sitting next to us suspected that Huo Ershao was bragging. After all, how could the beauty of the oiran in Chunfeng Building be more beautiful than the lady who was given away for nothing? Huo Ershao took it." He brought out a priceless jade pendant, saying it was a token from the young lady. I was close at the time, and the jade pendant was indeed of good quality, with some words on it. , so remember clearly."

Jing Changji couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only let Xu Chunsheng go.

Xu Chunsheng glanced at the banknote reluctantly.

Jing Changji gave him a meaningful look, and handed it to him before he got out of the car.

Just as Xu Chunsheng got out of the carriage, before he stood still, the carriage drove away quickly. Xu Chunsheng couldn't wait to unfold the banknotes, and was stunned on the spot in disbelief.

The face value of the above bank note is surprisingly the smallest one tael.

Xu Chunsheng: "..." Even if you inquire about the news with the waiter in the restaurant, you won't be rewarded with a tael of silver, right?
