Douluo's Mistake

The next night, Fu Xin returned home as expected, and also brought a pass with Lin Mo Nian's name on it.

Compared with yesterday, Fu Xin should have rushed back as soon as he got off work today. He even made it in time and had dinner with Lin Mo Nian, but the atmosphere between the two was far less harmonious than before.

The food that had not been touched for a few bites was cleaned up. Lin Mo Nian looked at the pass placed in front of him and couldn't help but remain silent - the holder had his name written on it, but the column on the certificate was that of Commander Fu Xin's lover.

He knew in his heart that he had taken advantage of his lover, otherwise how could he have obtained a pass to a place that was strictly confidential like the Military Department and approved it so quickly. If it had been someone else, no matter how much money he had, he would not have been able to buy it.

Although Lin Mo Nian knew that this pass was something that countless people outside dreamed of, he just couldn't be happy at all.

"Nian Nian, why...did I make you angry?" Fu Xin sat on a chair nearby, feeling a little uneasy when he saw that although the person had a pass, he didn't have a smile on his face.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Mo Nian put the pass away properly and whispered back to him: "No, Master Fu, I'm not angry. It's just that I'm in a bad mood."

Standing up and walking over to hug him in his arms, Fu Xin thought that it was yesterday's incident that still made Lin Mo Nian unhappy, "I should have helped you do it earlier, otherwise how could my Nian Nian endure this kind of thing?" I feel wronged." He breathed out slowly, "Nian Nian, don't be angry. I have already taught those two sentries a lesson. I will definitely welcome you in next time I see you."

After being startled for a moment, Lin Mo Nian leaned back again and said softly: "That's not necessary." After a while, he said again, "Aren't you busy recently?"

"It's definitely better than before. I've found some clues about the investigation. Let's investigate the other branches clearly first, otherwise it will be very difficult to dig deeper." Fu Xin smiled and raised his hand to caress Lin Mo Nian's head said, "As soon as I have free time, I will come back to accompany you."

Lin Mo Nian's body relaxed, and his mood seemed to be much better. There was some complaint in his words: "Looking at you, I can't stay with you for long... I might as well stay in the military office all the time! Why are you coming back..."

"Nian Nian, that's not what you said." With a smile in his eyes, Fu Xin put his arm around Lin Mo Nian's shoulder, and stretched his other hand down to reach the crook of his leg, and with an exclamation, he suddenly He picked it up and walked towards the second floor.

Lin Mo Nian was really frightened. He struggled a few times to get Fu Xin to put him down, but found that it didn't work. In the end, he retreated into his arms helplessly and stayed there, making no other movements.

On the second floor, Fu Xin went directly to the master bedroom. The place where he usually came back to rest was right next door to Lin Mo Nian's room.

After placing the person safely on the bed, Fu Xin sat on the edge of the bed, leaned down and kissed the corner of Lin Mo Nian's mouth, as if sighing: "Nian Nian, I miss you so much..."

In response to his actions, Lin Mo Nian only lowered his eyelids: "If I still live there every day, they will trick me."

"How can I? It's too late for me to love you, so why do I want to trick you?" Fu Xin pressed his forehead against Lin Mo Nian's. Their eyes met and their breaths met. "It's just that there are too many things in the military department. These God, I will work hard and spend time with my family Nian Nian."

"...Well, keep your word."

*

In the past few days, Fu Xin had indeed been accompanying Lin Mo Nian, singing operas with him, practicing basic skills, and when he was tired, he would take people out for a walk and eat some delicious food.In the evening, they spent time pondering over scripts and dealing with official business of the military department. The atmosphere was very harmonious, as if what happened at the door of the military department that day did not exist at all.

Today is the morning of the sixth day. The two of them had just finished breakfast when Fu Xin received an emergency notice. He only had time to give Lin Mo Nian a hug for a moment, and then had to leave for the military office immediately.

This kind of thing was expected by Lin Mo Nian. Of course he understood that the Military and Administrative Office was busy with affairs, especially senior officials like Fu Xin. But even so, Lin Mo Nian couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, but before leaving, The hug gave him some comfort.

In order to stay with Fu Xin for a while, Lin Mo Nian has not been to Yi Ting Pavilion these days, including the days before. Although his basic skills have not fallen behind, it has affected the arrangement of Yi Ting Pavilion's repertoire. There are many The people who came to Yitinge were all here for Lin Mo Nian. It was probably because of his absence that those in the audience would not have a good opinion of him or even Yitinge.

In the next few days, Lin Mo Nian planned to go on stage a few more times, to make up for the times he should have played but was absent in the previous few days, and to earn back some of Yi Tingge's reputation.

When he heard the news that Lin Mo Nian was going to take the stage, Chen Xi was the happiest among the people in the room. When he saw the person entering the backstage, he immediately stepped forward and pulled him to his exclusive seat to sit down.

"You're here, are you still practicing your basic skills every day?"

Feeling a little helpless, Lin Mo Nian freed his wrist from Chen Xi's hand: "Don't worry, I won't be able to stop practicing your basic skills if you don't."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Xi also retracted his hand, and when he saw the person in front of him, he had an idea, "You decide what we sing today."

"Farewell My Concubine, it's a classic. Xiao Banyue hasn't been on stage yet, so let's sing it first. As usual, I'll go see the leader first." Lin Mo Nian stood up and walked towards the stairs.

According to the old rules, Lin Mo Nian and Chen Xi were the finale, leaving it to others to take the lead. This saved some viewers from being impatient and ran away before their scenes, and even went out to talk nonsense to ruin the reputation of Yi Ting Ge.

No matter what you do for a living, integrity and reputation are the most important thing.

Now that we have just finished the first opera piece, Lin Mo Nian is not in a hurry to dress up as "Yu Ji" and plans to visit Lin Wenqing first.

No matter how lively the first floor is, the second floor directly above the stage is always so quiet. Excluding the beating of gongs and drums, the babble of the actors and the cheers of the audience from downstairs, it seems that there is only the sound of the wind.

But now, there is also the sound of Lin Mo Nian walking in the corridor on the second floor.

"Master." Lin Mo Nian took a deep breath and pushed the door open. "I'm here to see you."

"If you don't go to accompany your master, what are you doing here, a bad old man like me?" Lin Wenqing didn't even raise his head, just sitting on the table by the window, reading the book in his hand carefully in the skylight.

"Master, I..." Lin Mo Nian's heart skipped a beat, and all the words that were originally filling his heart were suddenly speechless.

Lin Wenqing just silently flipped through the book in his hand, not paying attention to Lin Mo Nian who was standing beside him at a loss. After reading the last few pages, he closed the book and put it aside.

"Have you finally remembered your true identity?"

Lin Mo Nian hesitated to speak. He was eager to deny it, but couldn't think of any words to refute. He hesitated for a long time, almost holding back tears.

After all, Lin Wenqing still couldn't bear to teach the child he had raised for so many years. He shook his head helplessly: "Okay, okay, come sit here quickly."

"Master, are you angry..." Lin Mo Nian hesitated, and he lowered his eyes and asked cautiously.

"If I was really angry with you, how could I let you into my house?" Lin Wenqing stood up. Even though he was over seventy years old, his steps were still steady. Lin Wenqing took the person's hand and led Lin Mo Nian back to the house. In front of the table, he pushed the person down on the chair opposite him, "You kid, you have been too thoughtful and affectionate since you were a child. I don't know if you will fall into trouble one day."

Lin Mo Nian pursed his lips: "Master, did I do something wrong?"

"Wrong? The only thing in the world is whether you are willing or not, and you will not regret it later. How can there be anything wrong in an absolute sense? If you think you are wrong, it is just that you regret your original choice."

"I understand, class leader..." Lin Mo Nian took a deep breath and looked up at Lin Wenqing, who had already sat back down. "I came today because I still want to ask class leader something."

"You said."

"Do you think I can start...writing the script?"

Hearing this, Lin Wenqing was startled for a moment, and then his eyes slowly fell on the book he had just finished reading. The paper was yellowed and it looked a bit old. Compared to some famous book, it looked more like Lin Mo Nian's ordinary book. The playbook he had come across so much was very similar to the one Lin Wenqing showed him a few months ago, except that there was not a single word on the cover.

Lin Wenqing stretched out his already rough hands, gently rubbed this special playbook with neither name nor author, and said slowly: "If I say something like 'it's not time yet', you You probably won’t listen to me either.”

Writing a play is not as easy as it sounds. If you want to write it well, you must not only have a certain depth of understanding of opera, but also consider various aspects. However, Lin Wenqing does not pour cold water on others: "Since you You already have the answer in your heart, so why bother asking me?"

Lin Mo Nian began to have this idea about writing a play a month or two ago, but he has never found a chance to talk to Lin Wenqing, nor has he found a clear writing direction. Now he has already thought about writing it. What, of course... I have made up my mind to write this book.

"That's what you said... Class leader, I want to write a one-man show."

A one-man show is a play that does not require supporting actors and is performed by one person alone.

"Then write it for yourself... It's not easy to write a one-man show, are you sure?" Lin Wenqing looked up at Lin Mo Nian with an unclear look, and confirmed with him again.

"I'm sure!" Lin Mo Nian clenched his hands tightly under the table, "Master, I'll come see you after I finish this play."

"Okay. Let's go backstage. It will take a long time to put on makeup. This is the first scene in half a month, so don't let me mess it up." Lin Wenqing also thought that he didn't need a junior to look after him every day. He waved his hand and urged Lin Mo Nian to go downstairs quickly.

Opening his mouth, Lin Mo Nian stood up as he was told. He walked to the door and stepped out. For some reason, he subconsciously glanced back at Lin Wenqing. When he saw someone, he picked up the playbook on the table and looked through it. He felt a little at ease. Soon he swallowed what he wanted to say, gently closed the door and walked downstairs.

Spectators in the hall filled all the seats. After the news of Lin Mo Nian's appearance was released, the compartments on the second floor also had their current owners.

With a banging sound, the door of one of the compartments was violently slapped open, and a young man walked slowly in. Although he was not ugly, he didn't look energetic: "Please, please." Yes, I thought I was coming somewhere, but it turned out to be this poor place. Don’t you know that this young master can’t bear to hear these babbling things?”

"Oh, here you are, Master Qian! Come on, come on, sit down, sit down. Of course I know you can't stand those actors, but today is a rare day when you and I both have time to see Lin Mo Nian on stage. Isn't that right? I was thinking of calling out Master Qian quickly."

When he saw the person coming, a man in the cubicle immediately greeted him. From his words, he could tell that the person coming was Qian Liu's only son, Qian Fengyi.

"What's so good about this shabby theater? And what else...Lin Mo Nian? If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have come here!" Qian Fengyi sat down unceremoniously, naturally I'm used to being treated like this.

The man waved away the other people in the cubicle, and responded naturally to Qian Fengyi's words: "Yes, yes, it's our Master Qian who has to show off. Come on, I'll pour you some wine."

"Pour it down, pour it down. If you ask me, this is not as fun as going to Mingyue Tower." Qian Fengyi is not interested in this opera at all. He just came by invitation today.

The man who invited him to Yiting Pavilion was the same age as Qian Fengyi. His name was Qiao Ren. He was just the legitimate son of a small family. However, he met Qian Fengyi by chance. Unexpectedly, the two hit it off so well that they became very good friends. Friends often go out to play, and Qian Fengyi said that Mingyue Tower is the most famous fireworks place in Wucheng. From this, it can be seen that the content of the two people's play is not a good thing.

"Master Qian, you were not interested in this matter before. Even if the news spread throughout Wucheng, you have never seen the real owner. But today Lin Mo Nian is rarely on stage. You have to come and see it. It will definitely make your trip worthwhile. !" Qiao Ren smacked his chest and confirmed that he looked the type of person who could be judged by others. He was so confident that Qian Fengyi became curious.

"Is it really that mysterious?"

Qiao Ren smiled and pointed in the direction of the stage: "I specially booked the compartment facing the stage. They are here anyway. You will know after reading."

The two arrived late, and it happened to be the end of the show. The next show was "Farewell My Concubine" by Lin Mo Nian and Chen Xi, and not only Qian Fengyi and Qiao Ren, there were many people upstairs and downstairs. I'm looking forward to Lin Mo Nian's first appearance on stage in half a month.

As soon as Lin Mo Nian's Yu Ji came on stage, she attracted the attention of all the audience. Qian Fengyi's original casual demeanor changed instantly. He leaned forward and looked at the stage in shock: "Damn, he looks like this. Beautiful?! It’s just... she’s more feminine than a woman!”

Qian Fengyi has never seen such a good-looking person in his life. She is even more beautiful than the women he played with before, and her appearance and demeanor even look more feminine.

Seeing Qian Fengyi's eyes almost flying to the person, Qiao Ren couldn't help but feel happy: "Look, I didn't trick you, did I? Master Qian, today is a worthwhile trip."

He laughed twice. Qian Fengyi was tickled by Lin Mo Nian's posture on the stage. He wiped the non-existent saliva on his chin: "It's indeed a worthwhile trip. This actor can't be played unless he gets it." It’s really a waste of money to play!”

Hearing this, Qiao Ren was a little scrupulous: "Master Qian, this actor lives in the Fu family. You have never been interested in opera, so you don't know what he looks like. Now... this, you can't rob him forcefully, right?"

"Why can't you grab it by force?" After hearing what Qiao Ren said, Qian Fengyi snorted disdainfully, "My Qian family is not afraid of the official who has only been here for a few months. From the looks of it, he must be someone who has been deceived. They were kicked out of Kyoto, otherwise, no matter how good our Wucheng is, there would still be people who would let the military lord of Kyoto do something wrong and come here to meddle in other people's business?"

"Since that actor can move into Fu's house, he can naturally move into my Qian's house!" Qian Fengyi stared at Lin Mo Nian's figure, his eyes full of determination to win.

"That's fine, that's fine, but I wonder if the eldest brother can eat meat and the younger brother can drink soup?" Qiao Ren was no longer worried, but had already begun to think about what would happen after he got the person.

"That's natural. Having said that, we've all tasted what it's like to be a man. Just because of his looks, we'll have to play with him for a few more days after we get it."

The two of them were thinking about these messy things. Lin Mo Nian, who was on the stage on the first floor, had no idea. He could only feel an uncomfortable sense of voyeurism, but he didn't know that he had been raped. Targeted.

After getting off the stage, he had just finished taking off his makeup, and before he even had time to change out of his costume, Lin Mo Nian was told that someone had invited him to the booth on the second floor.

In the past, there were many people who came to Tingge and wanted to see him after listening to the play. How could Lin Mo Nian come to see him?So Yitingge set a rule that no matter which character you want to meet, you have to pay the meeting fee out of your own pocket first. The price set is not low, and it does deter many people, but there are still some people who are willing to spend this money. It was not pleasant to find Lin Mo Nian.

As for where the money went, it was basically used for the protection of Yiting Pavilion. Many hands and feet with some skills were hired to guard Yiting Pavilion, in case someone one day smashed the place, at least it could still be done. Protect, but in fact, if someone with power insists on causing trouble for Yi Tingge, there is no way these people can stop him.

Since Fu Xin made it clear that he wanted to pursue him, these people began to gradually decrease. However, some people still had luck. After Lin Mo Nian moved to live with Fu Xin, no one was willing to work for an actor. He directly stood against Fu Xin.

Fu Xin only went to the military office in the morning. It was impossible to come to Yitingge at this time, but Lin Mo thought about it over and over again, but he didn't expect anyone else to want to see him.

Although he was confused, Lin Mo Nian could not waste any more time. No matter who wanted to see him, his status was definitely rich or noble. If he accidentally offended him, it would not only bring trouble to himself, but also to Yi Tingge. .

As for his original attitude towards Fu Xin, Lin Mo Nian already knew it after just a few contacts. Now that the situation was unclear, he did not dare to bet on the patience of the people upstairs. Moreover, judging from the intention of the person who sent the message, he might want to drag him directly. He went up by himself, so in desperation, Lin Mo Nian followed the person who invited him up to the second floor without even changing his costume.

After pushing open the door of the compartment, Lin Mo Nian immediately recognized the two people sitting at the table drinking, and instantly had the idea of ​​​​leaving as soon as possible.

"Hey, what are you doing standing so far away? Come here quickly." When Qian Fengyi saw someone coming, he drank down the wine in his hand, then put the cup on the edge of the table and pointed to the handleless place in the center of the table. jug, "Here, pour some wine for me."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mo Nian forcibly suppressed the idea of ​​turning around and leaving, and stepped into the compartment. The next moment he heard the sound of the door closing behind him, his heart froze, and he had to lower his head first. Mu Yiyan walked over.Lin Mo Nian rolled up the too-large costume sleeves with his left hand under his right forearm, and held the wine bottle in his right hand and poured it into the cup.

Qian Fengyi looked at Lin Mo Nian. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't help but reach out and hold the exposed white wrist of the man in front of him.

"She looks so beautiful, and her wrists are so beautiful too."

Lin Mo Nian was so shocked that his wrist was held without warning that he subconsciously tightened his grip on the wine bottle in his hand. Hearing Qian Fengyi's abnormal words, he couldn't help frowning.

Qiao Ren's gaze from the other side of the table was even more unpleasant. Lin Mo Nian could also feel the hand holding his wrist sliding up and down restlessly, and he knew very well that the owner of that hand was even more uneasy. I was so worried that I couldn't help but feel nausea in my heart.

"Master Qian, please let go."

"What? So expensive?" Qian Fengyi not only didn't let go, but intensified his efforts to pull the person into his arms, "I can't hold the hand of an actor?"

How could Lin Mo Nian let this person succeed? He took a step back and pulled back his wrist, then took a few steps back until his back hit the door. Then, Lin Mo Nian touched his right wrist, and then Putting down his hand, he used the costume's wide cuffs to cover the red mark on his wrist.

"Lin Mo Nian, don't you know what's good and what's good!" Qiao Ren's eyes widened, not at all the calm look he had when he just watched the two entangle.

And Qian Fengyi didn't expect an actor to be so strong. Not only was his hand thrown away, but his body was even pulled away. When he looked at Lin Mo Nian again, his face was full of embarrassment and anger, but when his eyes touched that When he opened his face, he still tried his best to suppress his anger: "Lin...Lin Mo Nian, let me tell you clearly, this young master is here just for you today. You'd better be obedient and don't do anything to me." Then take Joe!”

"Take Qiao?" Lin Mo Nian no longer suppressed his emotions, he sneered, "I don't think I have the courage yet, I just want to tell Master Qian, oh, and Master Qiao, you need to know how to respect yourself as a person."

Unexpectedly, the scene after the meeting was completely different from what he had imagined. Qian Fengyi was immediately furious. He slapped the table and pointed at someone and yelled: "Who do you think you are?! An actor who even got into Fu Xin's bed and followed him." Why am I pretending to be arrogant? Paying back the money? Damn you!" Qian Fengyi sneered and spat on the ground next to him, "If it weren't for us guys to hold it up, you wouldn't know which kiln you would be selling it in!"

His chest rose and fell violently several times. Lin Mo Nian gritted his teeth to prevent himself from scolding him: "...I won't bother you two!" After saying that, he immediately opened the door and walked quickly downstairs. Both of the people in the house were He didn't have time to ask the servant at the door to stop him.

After all, Qian Fengyi didn't expect that Lin Mo Nian would dare to hurt his face like this. He became even more angry. Qiao Ren was also shocked that Lin Mo Nian dared to turn around and leave. In the cubicle, except Qian Fengyi, who was talking loudly The gasping voice was strangely silent for a long time. In the end, only one sentence was heard that seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

"Lin Mo Nian, very good, just wait for me!"

*

"Master Fu, there is a letter from Kyoto."

"Kyoto?" Fu Xin took the letter from Sun Wei, opened it and glanced at it, "He is the only one who likes this method of communication."

"You are not satisfied with driving me out of Kyoto, but you want to send a letter to laugh at me, and also warn me." Fu Xin threw the letter on the table casually, "Didn't he clean up all his eyeliner? "

"Master Fu..."

"It's not your fault. Our speed of checking the informants may not be faster than the speed of his deployment." Fu Xin's eyes fell on the letter and frowned slightly, "How is Sun Yin's investigation going?"

"It is now roughly clear that a relatively stable triangular check-and-balance relationship has been formed between the former officials, the Qian family, and the bandits. The goods that the Qian family loses from time to time are used to bribe the bandits. Apart from these goods that have been communicated in advance, the bandits will not Touch other things related to the Qian family."

"The Qian family and the bandits will each give money to the former officials, which will be regarded as tribute. The former officials will naturally protect other private businesses of the Qian family and turn a blind eye to the transactions between the Qian family and the bandits. Claiming that bandits are hard to get rid of, in fact they turn a blind eye to the bandits’ behavior.”

"Sun Yin is still investigating and wants to find evidence of collusion between the Qian family and the bandits first."

"Well, let him pay attention to his safety." Fu Xin knew in his heart that eliminating the bandits was not an overwhelming difficulty, but the Qian family would definitely block it secretly. It was deeply rooted in Wucheng. He had only been here for less than a year. You may not be able to get a good deal from the Qian family. Only by finding evidence of private dealings between the two parties can you catch them all. "Go and get busy."

As the door closed tightly, Fu Xin also stood up and put the letter into one of the shelves on the side of the bookshelf. He did not care about the possibility of the letter being stolen.

However, before Fu Xin could go back and sit down, Sun Wei, who was supposed to be doing something, hurriedly opened the door: "Master Fu, someone threw a torch at Yiting Pavilion, and now there's a fire!"

"what?!"

Fu Xin forgot about all the rest of his official duties, picked up his coat hanging on the back of the chair and rushed out. Sun Wei immediately followed behind him.

"In the past few days, Mr. Lin has been listening to his acting. He was probably targeted by Qian Liu's son, Qian Fengyi, and Qiao Ren of the Qiao family. He was called to the cubicle on the second floor the day before... Mr. Lin I'm afraid I didn't want to talk to the two of them anymore, so I left after not staying long."

"Did Qian Fengyi do this?" Fu Xin got into the car and asked Sun Wei, the driver next to him, with a frown.

Sun Wei nodded: "Qian Fengyi was annoyed. After holding it in for a few days, he found a few people this afternoon, took torches and threw them into the backyard of Yiting Pavilion. He just wanted to scare Mr. Lin, but it might be Throw it into the firewood pile or the room where the costumes are kept, and it will start a fire."

"I was just talking to you about the bandits. No one else can come in without permission. When I went out, I happened to bump into the person you arranged to pay attention to Mr. Lin's movements, and I learned about this."

"..." Fu Xin gritted his teeth and could only ask Sun Wei to hurry up. When he arrived, he could see the thick smoke rising from the place. The crowd was noisy and many people were working hard to put out the fire. But more people are still watching.

There were too many people and the car couldn't get in. Fu Xin opened the door and ran in the direction of Yiting Pavilion. When the people around him saw that it was him, they all moved out of the way. When they saw Lin Mo Nian's figure, Fu Xin took a breath and gradually slowed down his pace.

Chen Xi hugged Lin Mo Nian tightly and controlled both of his arms to prevent him from breaking free and rushing into Yiting Pavilion, which was still on fire. In addition to the people from Yiting Pavilion, there were also some people around to put out the fire. Residents also came to help, but because Tingge is located in the center of Wucheng, it is still far away from places with large water sources, which also slowed down the fire-fighting speed.

"Senior brother, let me go!" Lin Mo Nian stared at Yiting Pavilion in front of him, "The class leader is still inside, let me in!"

"I know! But, Mo Nian, calm down!"

"How can you tell me to calm down!" Lin Mo Nian shouted with a hint of crying in his voice.

A loud noise interrupted the argument between the two. Yiting Pavilion was a wooden pavilion. It could not hold up under the long fire and collapsed suddenly.

"Master..." Chen Xi gradually let go of Lin Mo Nian's hand, and the tears he had been holding back for a long time finally fell.

"Class leader!!!"

Without Chen Xi to stop him, Lin Mo Nian knelt down and sat on the ground. He took a deep breath and tried not to cry out in pain.

Fu Xin walked up to Lin Mo Nian step by step. He knelt down on one knee and stretched out his hand to touch the shoulder of the person in front of him: "Nian Nian..."

Lin Mo Nian turned his head to look at the person, blinked his eyes, and his face felt heavy with moisture. He suddenly threw himself into Fu Xin's arms and buried his head on the side of his neck.

Feeling the trembling of the body in his arms, Fu Xin reached out and hugged Lin Mo Nian's upper body tighter. He heard the sobs that the man was only willing to reveal when he couldn't hold it in anymore, and felt that his heart was being squeezed. .

When the fire was completely extinguished, Yiting Pavilion could be said to have ceased to exist. Qian Fengyi ordered Ren Yi's torch to burn down almost all the costumes. The building collapsed, and the troupe leader and a small number of troupe members all died. In this senseless disaster.Afterwards, the troupe members rummaged through the ruins and found almost nothing usable except a small amount of money.

Many people knew or even guessed who did it, but there was no proof.

The rest of the theater troupe who had a chance to escape could only rent a house together with the remaining money. Fu Xin wanted to take Lin Mo Nian to meet the Fu family, but Lin Mo Nian refused. He knew that Fu Xin and the Qian family Due to the complicated relationship between them, they proposed to move out of the Fu family.

Fu Xin couldn't resist him, and the things he wanted to investigate recently were more dangerous, so he had no choice but to agree, but secretly sent more personnel to protect them and allowed Lin Moyu and Chen Xi to stay in a nearby hotel.

Lin Mo Nian packed the things left in Fu's house into the hotel room, including the costume Fu Xin gave him. It can be said that Lin Mo Nian was still immersed in the grief of the class leader's death and could not get out of it, but Qian Fengyi did not. Give him this time.

In fact, Lin Monian thought Qian Fengyi and Qiao Ren were just seeking revenge, but not long after he moved in, someone knocked on his door and said they were delivering a message on Qian Fengyi's behalf.

The general meaning is that since he can burn down one Yiting Pavilion, it is not difficult to burn down several hotels. He will see himself in Qian Fengyi's room within half a month. Otherwise, not only Lin Mo Nian , and others in the troupe may not survive.

"A lunatic, how disgusting!" Lin Mo Nian was holding fire in his heart, but he gradually and truly felt a little sad.

Since the Tingge incident was a big deal, and Lin Mo Nian moved out of the Fu family, everyone thought that he was abandoned by Fu Xin. Regarding this, Qian Fengyi became even more arrogant, not only deliberately trying to take care of others. Everyone in Yiting Pavilion was looking for trouble, and later even directly told everyone in Yiting Pavilion that as long as Lin Mo Nian was willing to follow him, he would let everyone else go.

Of course there will be people who want to escape, but not to mention the bandits they are likely to encounter outside Wucheng, even the belongings in their hands are not enough to leave Wucheng and go elsewhere. With the Tingge destroyed, they have no means of making a living and can only live their lives. Day by day, coupled with Qian Fengyi's instruction, everyone in Tingge can be said to be miserable.

Qian Liu naturally heard about this incident, but not only did he not blame Qian Fengyi, he also made an appointment with Fu Xin for this, and his words were full of hidden threats.

Fu Xin, who was investigating the evidence, naturally couldn't alert the snake. He had never given Qian Liu a very upright image. If he broke up with the Qian family directly, Qian Liu would be alert. Not only would he not be able to solve the bandits, Fu Xin would not even be able to solve the problem. He had the ability to rescue Lin Mo Nian, and there were many spies from the Qian family hiding around him. He didn't dare to let Sun Yinsun send a message to Lin Mo Nian. Fu Xin could only keep speeding up while talking to Lin Mo Nian. Pretending to turn a blind eye to the situation.

*

Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh after driving away someone from Yitingge again.

Qian Fengyi's actions frequently caused some unscrupulous people to come to Lin Mo Nian to ask him to compromise in order to protect themselves, and Fu Xin's inaction made people on both sides more unscrupulous, but Lin Mo Nian was against He didn't care at all, he just stayed in the room almost all the time, and Chen Xi didn't know what he was doing.

Today is the deadline set by Qian Fengyi. More and more people are coming to Lin Mo Nian from Yi Tingge. Over the weekend, he even persuaded a few people to break in and escort him to Qian's house, but Chen Xi was Several other people from Yitinge who also lived here stopped them.

"Where are you from? If Lin Mo Nian doesn't go, none of us will survive!" Weekend glared at the three women and two men standing next to Chen Xi and shouted loudly.

The girl standing at the front couldn't help but become even more angry after hearing his words. She took a few steps forward: "What are you talking about? Isn't it all Qian Fengyi's fault that we are like this? What happened to Guan Lin Mo Nian? ?!”

"Besides, what qualifications do you have to let him walk into the fiery pit of Qian's house for you?"

Weekend's eyes widened in shock: "You, you don't want to die?!"

"It's reasonable for Lin Mo to not go to Qian's house. If I die in Wucheng because of this, I can only blame my bad fate. But if I have to ruin other people's lives in vain just to survive, I would rather let myself go ." The girl snorted coldly, "Go back during the weekend, we won't let you succeed."

Seeing the same expressions on the people around the girl, Zhou Zhou may have known that there was no hope, so he looked at each other with those people, and finally could only leave the hotel where Lin Mo Nian was staying angrily.

Chen Xi took a deep breath, turned around and nodded to Jiri: "Thank you."

Shaking her head slightly, the girl smiled: "We just did what we thought was right."

The sky had darkened. Chen Xi watched the five people go back to their rooms. He turned around and saw Lin Mo Nian opening the door and standing at the door. He hurriedly walked over: "Mo Nian, I..."

Lin Mo Nian stopped what he wanted to say next and lowered his eyes: "Brother, do you remember the large lake outside Wucheng?"

"I remember, the scenery was very beautiful, but many people met bandits there, and no one went there after that."

Nodding slightly, Lin Mo Nian raised his head and glanced at Chen Xi a few more times: "Go to bed early." After saying that, he entered the room and closed the door.

Wrinkling his brows, Chen Xi felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had no choice but to go back to the room.

In the middle of the night, Lin Mo Nian, wearing the costume given by Fu Xin, walked out of the tavern. There was no one on the street at this time, and the hotel receptionist was sleeping on the table, so no one noticed his departure.

Lin Mo Nian slowly walked out of the city and walked to the lake with a beautiful scenery. It was just a dark night, so even the best scenery was buried in darkness.

Just as he was staring at the lake in a daze, a familiar voice sounded from behind Lin Mo Nian.

"Who's there?"

Turning around, Lin Mo Nian met Fu Xin's eyes directly. He held up a torch, illuminating the surroundings and causing a ray of fire to shine in Lin Mo Nian's eyes.

Fu Xin felt very strange that Lin Mo Nian appeared at the lake wearing this outfit in the middle of the night, but he was actually going to surprise the bandits' main den tonight.Last night, Sun Yin finally found the bandit's den and was almost discovered while collecting evidence of the Qian family's collusion with him, so he had to return temporarily.

Fu Xin decided to surround the den in the middle of the night when everyone was slacking off, and catch all the bandits and the evidence. He arranged for everyone to disperse and approach the den, while he went to the den alone from the other direction. Unexpectedly, he ran into The person I have been thinking about lately.

These days, Lin Mo Nian stayed in the room and only did one thing, which was to write the script. He originally said that after writing the script, he would go to see the class leader, but he didn't expect that day would be the last time. Even though it was a little late, But Lin Mo Nian still wanted to write this script.

He wrote it smoothly and quickly. It was a direct story between himself and Fu Xin. Lin Mo Nian didn't know why Fu Xin's attitude had changed so much these days, but he still wanted to write down all the things that happened between the two of them before. , at least, those can be written down.

After being stunned for a while, Lin Mo Nian did not ask Fu Xin what he was doing here, nor did he complain about Fu Xin's indifference these days. He just asked him softly: "Fu Xin, can you... listen to me again? Sing a play?”

Seeing Lin Mo Nian's look, Fu Xin almost subconsciously wanted to agree, but he restrained himself at the last second. The investigation had been planned for so long and he couldn't fail in his efforts.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Xin avoided Lin Mo Nian's eyes: "Next time."

Afraid of being soft-hearted, Fu Xin walked straight towards his destination after saying this, passing by Lin Mo Nian.

Opening his mouth, Lin Mo Nian wanted to grab Fu Xin's arm, but was a little short of the distance and failed to do so. In the end, he could only watch as he disappeared into the darkness with a torch.

The light of the torch disappeared, extinguishing the last fire in Lin Mo Nian's eyes.

"Do you know? The actor who used to be the most famous in Tingge."

"I know, Lin Mo Nian, he has been attracted by Master Fu and the young master of the Qian family. What happened to him?"

"Master Qian gave me the deadline last night, but this morning, someone found his body in the nameless lake outside the city!"

"what?!"

"Tell your voice lower. This matter is being spread all over the city now, and the bandits' den was raided by Master Fu last night, and ironclad evidence of collusion between the bandits and the Qian family was found inside!"

"Then the Qian family is finished, isn't it?"

"No, even if Lin Mo Nian dies, the other people in Yi Tingge will not be able to escape death. But after this incident, the Qian family itself has too much time to take care of itself. There is no time to care about these people, so it can be considered as an escape."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, commit suicide by jumping into the river. You have some backbone."

"What a spineless person! If he had stayed up until this morning, there would be no need for him to be like this!"

"makes sense……"

"Fu Xin, you are such a heartless person!"

"If I had been faster, wouldn't this have happened?"
