Don't be clouded

Chapter 66 Stab the Knife

Duan Wenfu waved to the beauty, sat up straight, the smile on his face faded a little, and asked: "Why does the general do this, the concubine at home is in the spirit of heaven, and I hope the general can live better, right?"

Finally got to the point.

Ji Bieyun played with the other wine cup left on the table, "I don't know what they think, I only know that Zhongcheng's happy days are coming to an end."

Duan Wenfu laughed as soon as he heard it, and even the two beauties beside him seemed to hear some joke, and covered their faces and laughed.

However, in the next moment, Duan Wenfu raised his hand without warning and slapped one of them on the face.The singing and dancing in the room came to an abrupt end, everyone bowed their heads in silence, and the face of the beaten Meiji also turned pale.

Duan Wenfu stood up, slightly swaying from drinking some wine.He pulled out a gold hairpin from the woman's hair, pointed the sharp end at the flowery face, and gently stroked it.

"What are you laughing at, so happy?" The tone was gloomy.

The woman staggered from the imperial concubine's couch and knelt down on the ground, and replied in fear: "Your maidservant did not laugh...Please raise your hand high..."

"Really?" Duan Wenfu carelessly pressed the golden hairpin against the side of the woman's face, and stabbed it in with a little force.The woman couldn't restrain herself from letting out a cry of pain, but bit her lips tightly and held back. The golden hairpin slashed crookedly from the corner of her eye to the bottom of her earlobe, leaving a bloodstain.

Throwing away the gold hairpin casually, Duan Zhongcheng raised his eyes, turned to face another woman, and suddenly realized: "Forgot, there is still you."

As soon as the voice fell, he grabbed the other party's neck, pulled him off the couch, and threw him aside at will.The woman's forehead hit the edge of the table, blood seeped out instantly, Duan Wenfu glanced at it with disgust, and said coldly: "Get out."

The two women helped each other get up from the ground and hurriedly left.

Duan Wenfu glanced at the dancers and musicians in the room, and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Soon the room was empty, only Ji Bieyun and Duan Wenfu were left.

The delicious food, wine and various fruits and vegetables are still on the table, just in line with the scene of the unhappily breaking up.

Ji Bieyun's eyes fell on the side of the imperial concubine's couch, a few drops of blood fell on the ground, it was still bright red.

But he only glanced twice before looking away, looking at Duan Wenfu who sat down again.The man's face changed extremely quickly, and now there was no sign of rage anymore, he calmed down and poured himself a glass of wine.

"If you want to take revenge and vent your anger, you should pick on other people's pain." Duan Wenfu took a sip and said, "Just like the two beauties just now, the most precious thing in their bodies is their face. No pain?"

Although the truth is true, Ji Bieyun still retorted: "If I cut your face, it will hurt you too."

Duan Wenfu laughed for a while, and then said: "At the beginning of the year, Zheng Yu told me that the eyeliner he had planted outside Lingzhou City was killed, and there was no one left. I thought it was Liu Hongji's son who came back and went to Lingzhou. Zhou searched, but only found news that Liu Yunjing was dead. You are amazing, Ji Bieyun, and you have no one around to help you, and you can get out of your shell and change your post."

He raised his eyebrows, "Thank you for the compliment."

Duan Wenfu shook his head, "I saw you today and I'm really sure, the Liu family, the eyeballs seem to be made from the same mold."

Duan Wenfu turned his head to look at him, and scrutinized his face for a long time, "The eyes are all the same, Liu Hongji looked at me like this before he died."

Then he looked at the knife at his waist again, "Hey, don't put your hands on it, let's talk for a while, don't play with the sword."

Ji Bieyun had unconsciously touched the handle of the knife with his fingertips, and now he retracted it, holding the gold-plated wine cup.

The calendula was not considered hard, and it was slightly deformed when he pinched it hard with his palm.

"Let me tell you the truth, I want to bring down Yushitai," Duan Wenfu waved his hands drunkenly, "That's impossible."

"Why?" he asked coldly.

Duan Wenfu stood up, walked to the musical instrument left by the musician, and said: "A child is a child after all, and needs guidance from seniors. Let me tell you this, if you sue, who will take over? The Ministry of Criminal Justice? That won't work, they are used to avoiding disasters and only get along with each other."

He chose a lute, bent down, and plucked the strings playfully.

"Emperor? That's even worse. The court will not succeed for a day without Yushitai. With the suspicion of the Ming family, no one will help them monitor the officials in the court. They will feel very uncomfortable, for fear that someone will suddenly turn against him What's more. What's more, the general of Zhenguo doesn't agree, how dare Emperor Yuanhui make the general angry?" Duan Wenfu seemed to find it very funny when he said this, and said with a smile, "The emperor will be afraid that he will force the general of Zhenguo to rebel against him. of."

He picked up the pipa and observed it for a while, then let go suddenly, causing the pipa to fall straight to the ground, and there was a loud noise.As if the roof was about to be overturned, the sound of the strings reverberated in the house and never dissipated for a long time.

Duan Wenfu was not affected at all, looked up at Ji Bieyun who was sitting opposite An, and asked, "Do you think this is the reason?"

Ji Bieyun frowned at the quarrel, and felt that this person was long-winded, so he said impatiently: "Since you are not afraid, why did you invite me here?"

"Although Yushitai can't be defeated, I don't want to cause troubles for nothing. I invite you to discuss with you and discuss things that are good for us." Duan Wenfu said, "You want to rehabilitate the Liu family, but I want Yu The stage is safe and sound, and those two things are not in conflict."

Ji Bieyun laughed angrily at the absurd words, "I want you to die, and you don't want to die, don't these two things conflict?"

Duan Wenfu seemed to have a good temper and forgave his directness, and said again: "Zheng Yu, the Minister of Rites, as the former governor of Lingzhou and the instigator of the Liu family's injustice case, isn't he already dead? I will help you rehabilitate the Liu family and restore their reputation." Come back, and then open Zheng Yu's coffin and flog the corpse, wouldn't it be good?"

The wine cup in Ji Bieyun's hand had already deformed badly. He tried his best to suppress the desire to kill, and replied: "It's always a pity that I couldn't do anything to Zheng Yu personally. Since you sent someone to kill him , I think I can count it on you, and stab you twice more in the future."

Duan Wenfu pursed his lips, "It seems that the discussion is not good?"

"It's not a good negotiation."

"Then what if I reveal your identity to the public?" Duan Wenfu threatened with a smile.

Ji Bieyun said "ah" regretfully, and looked over with a regretful expression, "But you have no evidence."

Seeing that Duan Wenfu was about to speak again, he stepped forward and said: "Why don't I make a condition. You tell me the details of the year one by one. After I go out, I have neither evidence nor witnesses, and others will not believe it. "

Duan Wenfu narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Then you let Yushitai go?"

"Of course not." Ji Bieyun said, "Didn't you call me here tonight to prevent me from taking any action? It's already a favor for me to go to the banquet, shouldn't you also offer something in exchange?"

Duan Wenfu seemed a little surprised, "I didn't expect General Ji to have such an arrogant side, I can't bear to deal with you."

After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, and immediately more than a dozen guards came in outside the house, surrounding Ji Bieyun.

The others had already crossed the step of treating each other with courtesy, so Ji Bieyun had no choice but to get up when the troops were mobilized.

However, suddenly he was a little dizzy, his feet were weak, and he almost couldn't stand up.Fortunately, he stabilized his figure in time so that no one could see it.

The moment his hand was on his waist but the knife was cold, the guards around him drew their swords one after another.

Ji Bieyun was shrouded in cold light, but his eyes passed through the wall of people, looking straight at Duan Wenfu.

"Do you think I can't get out of Duan's mansion with my ability?"

"Of course we can get out. I didn't underestimate General Ji's force." Duan Wenfu waved his hand at the guards, made way for a way, and took a few steps closer, "Actually, I've kept these things in my heart for too long, and I can't find them." As for the person who told the story, there have indeed been troubles in the past few years."

His whole body was tense, and he said, "Let's listen."

Duan Zhongcheng smiled, "It's not because of anything else, it's because your father's eyes before his death were so impressive that he will never forget them no matter what. Later, when your father gives you dreams again, tell him, Let him stop pestering me."

Ji Bieyun slowly pulled the knife out of its sheath, turned it half a circle in his hand and switched back to his forehand, ignoring the shadows of swords and swords around him getting closer, he just lowered his eyes and chuckled.

He would be disgusted to say a word to this person.

But the purpose of his coming tonight was to pry some secrets out of this person's mouth. Now that the purpose has not been achieved, he cannot leave directly.

Ji Bieyun glanced around and asked, "You don't mind these people hearing what you did, so I'll tell you?"

Duan Wenfu didn't know what he was thinking, and said sadly: "All ears."

"When Zheng Yu was still the governor of Lingzhou, you were also the supervisor of Huainan Road. He once went to you and asked you to help cover up something. Just like Chongzhou, the governor and the censor colluded with each other. I said Right?"

"Why should I answer you?" Duan Zhongcheng looked at him with a smile.

Ji Bieyun said coldly: "Based on what you have obtained now, it is all due to luck. If there is no Lingzhou incident, I am afraid that you will not be able to be promoted now, and you will still be in front of the seemingly important but forced to be impoverished censor."

Since ancient times, Yushitai should not be a place where wolves gather.

The selection of censors is not only about talent, but also character. Only those who are upright and honest can be appointed as supervisory censors to keep the court clear for the emperor.The censor seems to have the power to supervise the officials, but he is restricted everywhere, and he has to set an example for the officials in every move.Not only is life poor, but he also often offends other officials, which is not a good job in the eyes of some opportunistic people.

Duan Wenfu is not satisfied with the position of censor, he wants greater wealth and more power.After he climbed to the top position of Yushitai, he had to dye the whole place into a vat of black water, and pile up gold, jade and wealth as high as a mountain with Chao Gangzhi.

Ji Bieyun said: "In just a few years, you have climbed from the supervisory censor to the position of censor Zhongcheng, and now you are only in your twenties. You are often praised for being young and promising, enjoying the power and wealth, you You must be very satisfied with your current life, right? But you also know that the mirage created by stepping on the bones of the Liu family will dissipate one day."

He looked at Duan Wenfu's increasingly pale face, and said with a sneer, "You are afraid that wealth and wealth are like flowers in a mirror, how easy it comes, and how suddenly it goes away."

Duan Zhongcheng's face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out, he grabbed the sword of the guard at the side and pointed it over.Although he was extremely angry, his rationality was still there. He didn't do anything immediately, but held back with gritted teeth.

After a while, he suddenly put down his hand, and said grimly: "So what if I tell you the truth, the culprit is already dead, you have to go to Huangquan to settle accounts with him. In fact, the case of Liu's family is very simple, almost Liu Hongji's bad luck caused trouble , He blocked the way of others, don't blame others to strike first and condemn him."

Finally he was inspired by the truth.

Ji Bieyun frowned and asked, "Who? Zheng Yu? Did my father discover his crime?"

Duan Wenfu was noncommittal: "The murderer Zheng Yu is dead, and everyone in the Liu family is dead except you. You are living alone, wading through this muddy water for the so-called truth, and even putting your life in it, so what if you find out? Who do you seek revenge for?" go?"

Ji Bieyun stabbed Duan Wenfu's heart, and this man wanted to stab him back, and asked him, "Don't you feel sad?"

He gritted his molars and didn't answer. After a while, he asked stubbornly, "What did Zheng Yu do?"

"Then you have to ask him." Duan Wenfu added, "But it's not now, I can't kill you yet. I have to wrong you to stay in my house for a few more days, and when the turmoil subsides, I will send you on the road to reunite with your family .”

"I'm afraid I can't do what you want." Ji Bieyun turned the knife in his hand.

Even if he is really forced to stay, the matter will not settle down, and Yushitai should still fall.What's more, he might be able to kill at this moment.

Duan Wenfu's face remained unchanged, "After smelling Leng Yusan for so long, can you still move?"
