At the same time, in the extreme boredom, slowly rolled a cigarette.I lit the fire, leaned against the window, and began to breathe in the drizzle.

Although physically and mentally exhausted, helpless and sleepy, I unknowingly finished smoking three cigarettes, but still failed to faint myself.

The room was filled with smoke, You Heng was taken aback when he came in, almost thought he was going to burn himself, and followed Xie Yanwen to the west.

"Do you still want that lung tube?" You Heng roared angrily, grabbed the cigarette butt that almost burned his fingers, and threw it out of the window, "You asked me to buy shredded tobacco, just to smoke desperately? I said you , can’t you develop some good living habits?”

At the same time, he was very numb to his chatter, looked at him, then at his own hands, turned around and sat on the armchair.

This is a bit strange, normally, if You Heng said a word, he would have to reply three or five sentences, and that amusing demeanor would make You Heng's teeth itch every time.

But now he seems to have been stretched out, and the whole person is falling apart. Although his eyes are still clear, the soul is obviously not in the shell.

You Heng's heart tightened when he saw it, and he tried to persuade him, "There must be a limit to grief, brother Xie has bad luck in this life, instead of living a miserable life, it's better to have a good pregnancy, maybe you can catch up with a good life. Since they are friends, he certainly doesn't want to see you sad."

At the same time, as if he had never heard of it, he leaned on the back of the chair and was in a daze.In fact, his mind was spinning all the time, not because he wanted to, but he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.

These days, he has been thinking about the cause and effect over and over again, at first he would blame himself for not discovering the clues in time, and later he would pretend to be Xie Yanwen, guessing why he was so decisive.

The answer is of course no solution, because he has never been able to kill himself in the world of mortals for the sake of "love" or to be let down. He lacks this kind of courage.

But gradually, what happened still made him suspicious.

It was all because Li Mingxiu came at the right time, and said he wanted to see what he needed. This reason sounded grand at first glance, but it was actually superfluous.

——On the contrary, it is more like it is designed to convey certain information.

He recalled that day under the flower tree, his back was facing the door, while Li Mingxiu was facing the door, so he could see who came out of the house.During the conversation, Li Mingxiu sometimes lowered his head to drink, but he could still see the door from the corner of his eye.Knowing that Xie Yanwen was standing there, he wanted to lead the topic to that "truth", what exactly was he trying to do?

There is another piece of information that cannot be ignored, the second master of the Pei family, Pei Rang, is critically ill and may pass away soon.

In the whole thing, Pei Rang is undoubtedly the real victim.If he was alive and well, the Pei family might let Xie Yanwen go; but the situation changed suddenly, and the Pei family thought of the "culprit" again, could they still let him continue to be at ease?

As for Pei Jin, he had promised to let Xie Yanwen go, so he definitely wouldn't do it explicitly.However, killing people and killing people's hearts is a safe and practical move.

So far, I have also warned myself not to make up too much brain!It's just that everything was full of coincidences, and Pei Jin's cold words that day still kept ringing in his ears - Xie Yanwen can't stay.

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. When he was about to roll another cigarette, You Heng had already grabbed all the shredded tobacco.

"It's not over, it's almost over! You're still open for business tomorrow, what on earth are you doing? Do you still remember!"

Meddle in your own business, what a fucking noise!At the same time, he glanced at him with evil fire in his heart, and cursed inwardly.

Fortunately, he has always been restrained, and he knows in his heart that You Heng has nothing to do with this matter, so naturally he can't let his temper vent his emotions.

You Heng also softened his tone at the right time, "Go to bed early, the Pei family is also attending funerals right now, Shaobao has a lot of things to do recently, you should be sensible anyway, and don't cause trouble for him anymore."

While listening to these words indifferently, the heart suddenly surged, which deepened some of his guesses.

Suddenly there were footsteps in the yard, and the people who were walking briskly could not help but make a slight noise because they were stepping on the rainwater.

Through the window, both Tong Ze and You Heng could see the person coming.

You Heng was surprised, "Why is Shaobao?"

After speaking, he suddenly realized something, and when he looked at the same face again, it seemed that his face was darker than before. Thinking of his tragic experience last time, he hurriedly rushed out, rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and ran away without a trace.

Pei Jin specially added a toga over the mourning clothes. Hearing the news of Xie Yanwen's death, he didn't want to arouse any unhappiness at this time.

When he came in, he was dressed in stone blue casual attire, and as expected, Tong was in a daze, completely forgetting that Pei's residence was also attending a funeral at the moment.

At the same time, he didn't get up, and his legs were folded together for a long time, and he was really a little stiff.When he looked up, he asked stiffly, "What are you doing here?"

Come to check the results?Do you want to simply hold Xie Yanwen's spirit card in front of him and ask him to examine it for himself?

Standing in front of him, Pei Jin felt as if there was a thin layer of mist separating them when looking at him.

In fact, from the moment he entered the house, he could smell the smoke in the room.Pei Jin is not disgusted with tobacco. After all, there are many people in the army who have this hobby. Most of the time, alcohol is strictly prohibited in the barracks, so the veterans only have the pleasure of smoking cigarettes to relieve fatigue.

And when Master Shaobao is having fun with the people, it is inevitable that he will come to a branch from the good side.

But it will never be this kind of burning method.It seemed that Tong Ze was really in a bad mood. After smoking three cigarettes, he saw the green stubble under the tip of his nose and above his lips popping out again.

Pei Jin suddenly remembered that at that time Tong Ze was knocked out by the blast and fell into a coma nightmare, with green stubble appearing on his jaw, and he was a little helpless in his composure.My heart softened, and the dissatisfaction aroused by that cold question just now disappeared in an instant.

Pei Jin was silent on this side, while the other side was also pondering.

Suspecting that there is no evidence, maybe it is just my persecution paranoia at work, it would be too subjective to convict others first.What's more, at all times, you should remain polite and restrained.

After introspection, the same one forced a smile, "Where did you come from?"

"At home." Pei Jin replied, sitting opposite him, "It's raining, and the windows are still open, so my shoulders are wet."

At the same time, he reached out and touched it, and it was really wet.Turning around and closing the window, he said casually, "It's been raining for two days, and it hasn't stopped."

After speaking, I remembered that there was a Taoist in my hometown. If it rains when a person dies, it is a good omen. It proves that the person's character is recognized by God, and reincarnation in the next life will have a good result.

Hope so, he sighed unconsciously.

"I've heard about Xie Yanwen, I wish you condolences." Pei Jin said, paused, and asked with a smile, "I haven't seen you for more than half a month, do you miss me?"

At the same time, she held her lips and chose to ignore the question, "I asked Steward Li to submit a letter, I don't know if it will be useful to you."

"Yes," Pei Jin nodded, "I was also investigating. Some officials in the DPRK and China borrowed money from the treasury and hoarded it. The businessman you mentioned in your letter can just follow the clues and verify the evidence from him."

It turns out that he already knew that this person has many benefits, the most important thing is that he will save face, regardless of whether the letter is really useful or not, anyway, it sounds comfortable, but it is more or less... so hypocritical .

"Are you really planning to abandon Malacca? Couldn't Dayan's military strength support two-front warfare?" asked the same question.

Pei Jin saw that he was concerned and had a serious expression on his face, so he slowly said, "Yes, but it is very reluctant. There are too many vassal states, and sooner or later it will become a burden. Dayan has armed forces. No matter how good the weapons are, it is still necessary to rely on people to charge upwards when fighting a war. It is a fight for human life. Except for the battles that must be fought, the rest can be avoided for the time being. Spend energy to develop combat readiness and rely on strength to deter , other countries don’t dare to invade, and the profit can be multiplied by selling military supplies. I want to make money, but also to fight without bloodshed.”

The same thought for a moment and said, "That is to say, North Korea must be preserved. If the Japanese occupy it and the Westerners support it, Dayan may decline in the East China Sea. To keep North Korea and severely damage the shogunate, you can If we continue to support the emperor and seek peace and stability, when the Westerners see that the momentum is not good, they can only gradually fade out of this battlefield—so this is the battle that has to be fought.”

When he said it, Pei Jin smiled slowly, "That's right, it's as expected."

Sophisticated human feelings and transparent structure are the consistent benefits of Tongze.Such a person, stuck between the sewing machine and the needle and thread all day long, is somewhat inferior.But Pei Jin understood that this was his interest, so of course he was willing to fulfill it.

"What's the plan of the military plane?" Tong then asked, "Leave the rebels in Malacca alone, in the government and in the opposition, but there are so many guys waiting to borrow military pay, how can they stand by and watch?"

Pei Jin smiled leisurely, "It's not their turn to dictate. When the armaments are sold, they will know what is the most profitable business. As for Malacca, it is related to the estuary. Of course, it cannot be occupied by the rebels. Divide and rule, let the rebels take over. It has become two countries, checks and balances and games with each other, so as to ensure the unimpeded flow of our merchant ships in that sea area."

This is not an aboveboard tactic, and it is similar to how the British in later generations treated India and Pakistan.However, after listening to it, there was still quite a surge in Tongze's heart.

National interests come first at all times, which is actually no different from being a human being. Survival resources are limited. If we don’t strive for more for future generations, we can only envy others’ prosperity in the future.

Surging because of this, Tong Ze's mood seemed to improve a little.

It's a pity that Pei Jin changed the subject at this time, "Have you finished discussing current affairs? Can you answer my question just now?"

At the same time, his eyes were full of confusion, "What's the problem?"

Pei Jin frowned suddenly, his heart sank suddenly, and he lost the interest in coming here in an instant.

That question was like a tasteless one. According to his temperament, he would never ask it again.It happened that tonight was different, he suddenly became stubborn for no reason, just wanted to hear an answer, even if the result was not what he wanted.

"Do you miss me?" Pei Jin looked at Tong Ze deeply and asked lightly.

At the same time, he was stunned. At this moment, the doubts in his heart that had been suppressed with great difficulty were like green grass in spring. Suddenly, he protruded vigorously.

"I'm mourning my friend, I'm not in the mood, and I don't have time to think about other things."

The indifferent tone matched the indifferent expression.

Pei Jin stared at him, and gradually realized that those stubbles were no longer as cute as he remembered.Become blunt, sharp and biting.It turns out that Tongze not only radiates warmth like sunshine, but also sometimes like the autumn wind and rain outside the window, covering your head and face, wetting all your hopes and eagerness.

On the other hand, he was very thoughtful, and asked all the way, "You don't know everything, so you should also be clear about how, when, and why he passed away, right?"

Pei Jin's face changed slightly, and he asked back, "What do you want to hear from me? Let me remind you, I am responsible for your safety. Everything that happens here will be reported to me in detail. On this point, you will start from the first If God knows me, he should know clearly."

At the same time, I was stunned again, and after a while, there was a wry smile, "Sorry, I'm ignorant of current affairs. I'm just curious, are you satisfied with this result now?"

A silence awaited him.

In the long and depressing silence, the two were looking at each other.The fire in the heart became more and more intense in the confrontation, and supplemented by silence, it seemed to be poured with another layer of boiling oil, and the intensity can be imagined.

"Speak frankly and beat around the bush, I'm impatient to answer you." Pei Jin raised his eyebrows, and a wicked enchantment crept up the corners of his eyebrows and eyes again.

At first, he still held the pipa and half covered his face, but as he stretched his long legs, the smile with crooked eyebrows became more and more thorough, not to mention he didn't forget to add a harsh sentence, "On guessing people's hearts, You are not a good opponent."

At the same time, he gritted his teeth, couldn't calm down, and his face flushed slightly, "Then let's say it clearly, you sent Li Mingxiu here, deliberately telling the truth, it is also to achieve the effect of bloodless, isn't it?"

Pei Jin's expression was cloudy and uncertain, and there was a dripping pain of self-inflicted sin in his heart.It is not difficult to guess people's hearts, but the truth can still hurt people.

What should I do to make a person who never believes in himself willing to believe that he is not covering the sky with one hand as he imagined, and that has never been his ideal state of existence.

There seems to be no answer.

Pei Jin then responded indifferently, "Xie Yanwen, if it's not enough, I won't be killed, and it's not bad if I use it to sacrifice the flag. I can kill him easily, and I don't need to waste my mind on him."

This was said clearly, but Tong only heard the first half of the sentence clearly.It's so arrogant that people are gone, and he is still talking about whether he is qualified here!

"That's why he deserves to die?" Tong sneered, "But he is my friend after all, and the first seven days have not come yet, so please don't bother me, and let me express my condolences at ease."

The eviction order was issued, and Pei Jin suddenly got up, all the fantasies he had had when he came here had all turned into melancholy.He had no choice but to admit defeat. Didn't the person in front of him just rely on him to like him, so there was nothing he could do about him?

He can tolerate, but cannot endure.An evil thought flashed through his mind, if he threw Tong Ze on the bed, gagged his mouth, and bound his arms tightly, he would never be able to resist.

But he can't, he knows too well that Tong Ze's behavior looks gentle, but his heart is extremely strong, and he will never accept any form of domination and manipulation.

Worrying about gains and losses, he knew that he couldn't do anything anymore.

While Pei Jin was silent, Tong Ze happened to be looking at him.

I still witnessed it with my own eyes, the coldness and rigidity that wandered in Pei Jin's eyes just now faded away little by little, and after slightly drooping, a touch of mournful softness emerged.

At the same time, he has always been soft and not tough. If the other party could show such an expression earlier, his words would never be sloppy like before, absolutely not!

It's a pity that it was too late, he forgot that Pei Jin was good at turning around and leaving, so he could only watch helplessly as he opened the door without hesitation, gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared from his sight.
