I have a city that never sleeps

Bian Junliang felt palpitations.

He didn't think that Su Buji was lying, because the smile on his face was inevitable.

But even if he wanted to break his scalp, Bian Junliang didn't know how he would unravel the plan that was carefully prepared for him.

That's right, after finding out that Miss Forsythia had lost Zhu Chai, and Su Buyu found and charged her for her, Bian Junliang had such a plan in his mind.

As long as he remakes Zhu Chai into an identical one, and then goes to the pawnshop owner to give false testimony, using the previous words, he will definitely be able to make Su Buyi a complete liar!

Bian Junliang would not choose such a troublesome plan as long as he could find out a little evidence, but Su Buyi was a very weird person. It solved all the troubles of most people, leaving nothing behind.

There is no way, Bian Junliang can only choose the troublesome plan, and also arranges for Miss Forsythia to deal Su Buyi the final blow.

But who would have thought that Su wouldn't doubt him... He didn't follow the routine at all!

He directly stated all his subsequent actions in one breath.

Go his way, let him go nowhere.

Bian Junliang, who had never experienced such a posture, suddenly panicked.

But he still managed to stabilize his mind, pretending to be disdainful and sneered: "Why, now that the evidence is convincing, I'd like to see what you can come up with."

"It's very simple." Su Buyi smiled and picked up two red hairpins, "Since you said yours is real and mine is fake, let's verify it in the simplest way. Yet."

"As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire, as long as it is roasted in the fire, who is real and who is fake will be the winner?"

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers suddenly realized, that's right, since the pawnshop owner can make a proof, he should bake it with fire himself, and then he will know everything?

"This..." Bian Junliang began to hesitate.

He never thought that there would be so many troubles, so for the sake of careful planning, he didn't change Su Buyi's red hairpin before.

That is to say, the two vermilion hairpins are genuine, and even if they are roasted with fire, nothing will come out.

But he changed his mind, stopping now would make him even more suspicious, he might as well push the boat forward, and after the results are out, he can easily accuse Su Buyu of doing something wrong, at this time it would be very appropriate to let the pawnshop owner play.

After planning in his mind, Bian Junliang finally nodded and said, "You can give it a try and ask someone to bring a candle over."

"No need." Unexpectedly, Su Buyi stopped him with a smile, "Maybe you have forgotten who I am. It's just a small matter of condensing flames out of thin air, so let me help you."

Bian Junliang was taken aback: "Gathering flames out of thin air?"

No matter how extensive his investigation was, he couldn't find out about Su Buyi's past in Pingyang.

So when I heard this sentence, I just felt dumbfounded.

Su Buyi didn't answer any more, he put Zhu Chai on the table first, and with the help of everyone's eyes focused on Zhu Chai, the cuffs inadvertently dropped to cover the movements of his palms, then he closed his eyes pretendingly, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly :"open!"

Both hands raised up in the air, and their eyes opened sharply.

And when the palm was turned outward, a group of faint blue flames condensed in the hand.

The flames reflected in the eyes of everyone present, causing the scene to be shocked.

"Fire! Fire! Really fire!!"

Everyone was shocked and retreated subconsciously.

But the flame was firmly held by Su Buyu, as docile as a tame sheep.

Such a scene made everyone gasp, and the eyes they looked at Su Buyi suddenly changed.

"What's going on here? He was able to ignite the flame with his bare hands?"

"Could this be the legendary power to control flames?!"

"It's too scary. With this one hand alone, he can surpass all the masters. How can such a person be a liar!"

"Just now I listened to the slander and thought he was defrauding people of money, but now I see that I am short-sighted, a master, this is the real master!"

Even Wu Yu's eyes widened. He didn't know what happened. Why did Su Buyi suddenly possess such magical power? Is this really Su Buyi?

However, the person who was most astonished was Bian Junliang. This Bian Junliang was still wondering what it means to condense flames out of thin air. In the next moment, the flames erupted in his palms, which shocked him so much that he almost sat on the ground with his legs limp. , looking pale.

After wiping his eyes a few times, he could still see the ghostly flame, which was firmly controlled by Su Buyi, with a mysterious smile on his face, Bian Junliang became more and more frightened.

Master Liu never told him that Su Buyi was really a celestial master! !Could it be that what he was looking for was the trouble of such a powerful person? ?

Then he won't win, the opponent showed a little bit of strength, no matter how many sweet words he has, he can't compare!

……

This is the reason why Su Buyi showed off his magic skills again.

Since words are not convincing, then use strength to conquer the opponent, simple and rude can still be effective.

However, this alone is not enough, and the other party must be convinced to lose, without any room for excuse.

"Okay, the flame has already risen." Su Buyi said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, you can also touch the flame yourself, just be careful that this is the real fire of Samadhi, and if you are not careful, your entire arm may burn. Be set on fire."

Everyone: "..." Then they are still touching the fart, isn't this going to die straight away!

In an instant, many more people stayed away from Su Buyi.

With a smile in Su Buyi's eyes, he finally picked up the two red hairpins on the table and put them in his palms, letting the blue flames burn quietly.

Everyone was very curious about what would happen, but they didn't dare to get too close, so they could only wait for the result.

After about a cup of tea, the flame in Su Buyi's hand gradually extinguished, and the two red hairpins were still lying in his palm, but the color changed a little.

Su Buyi picked up his red hairpin and let everyone appreciate it: "This is my red hairpin, it hasn't changed much."

Everyone nodded in confirmation, and Su Buji picked up another one, with a meaningful smile on his face: "This is the other so-called real vermilion hairpin, oh, ah, why does it feel like a little change has taken place. "

Everyone took a step forward suspiciously, examined carefully, and found that the originally golden Zhu Chai had a layer of white on its surface, as if it had fallen off powder, and suddenly became ordinary.

"This is... so this is a fake?!" Everyone was surprised.

In their cognition, gold will not fade when it is baked with fire, unless it is fake and not real gold!

"how is this possible!"

In the crowd, Bian Junliang recovered from Su Buyi's concealed identity, and when he heard their whispers, he squeezed over in disbelief.

He grabbed Zhu Chai in his hand and observed it carefully. Sure enough, the surface was completely white, and the sense of cheapness appeared impressively.

But it's not right, he was obviously built by someone with real gold, the purpose is to prevent anyone from seeing through the fake trick!So what's up with the white? !

He looked at Su Buyi in shock: "You did something wrong?!"

Su Buyi shrugged innocently: "You have all seen it with your own eyes. I just roasted two red hairpins in the fire at the same time. One is fine, and the other has a problem. Do you want to wrong me for this matter? Did you see what I did?"

That's right, the people nearby also nodded their heads one after another. They saw nothing wrong except for the weirdness of the flame.

If this person wants to plant this matter on Su Buyi, he needs to pass their test first!

"..." Bian Junliang was speechless, almost incoherent, "But, I personally watched him hold the gold..."

"Watch, him, take gold?" Su Buyi's eyes sharpened instantly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "What does this mean?"

Bian Junliang's heart skipped a beat, and his body suddenly stiffened.

He realized that he seemed to have misspoken a sentence.

Su Buyi: "I can't pretend that I didn't hear this sentence. Does this mean that you sent someone to make this red hairpin, and the purpose is to slander my honor?"

Bian Junliang's expression was pale, his five fingers clenched into fists, and he couldn't give an explanation.

And the eyes of the surrounding people also stabbed at him like needles.

At this moment, if everyone doesn't know his plan, this IQ will be in vain!

"Okay, let me tell you why so many people have been slandering Mr. recently. It turns out that you are the ones who are obstructing it and forging evidence!"

The crowd spurned and scolded: "So all the previous things are false, hehe, fortunately, Mr. Su used his ingenuity to expose your purpose! Otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark!"

"I followed you and scolded Mr. Su before, and now I really regret it! Please forgive me, Mr. Su!"

"Mr. Su showed us the power of flames on the spot. Could this still be a fake! Wake up, these things are all fabricated by those black-hearted people, let's not be fooled!"

"Hey, I have no conscience. Mr. Su has never harmed a single person. You just targeted them like this. How did you manage to deal with this face? It's really embarrassing to me, a scholar of Wei Dynasty!"

"I think he should be some official in disguise. He didn't want Mr. Su and Prince Zhao to help the people, so he came to frame Mr. Su!"

"So that's the case, hehe, get out! Don't appear in front of us again, or I will beat you every time I see you."

A few stinky eggs were thrown from the restaurant and hit Bian Junliang directly, causing him to escape from the restaurant in embarrassment.

When did Bian Junliang suffer such grievances, he shouted in disbelief: "You, you are beating an important official of the court!"

As soon as the words fell, another rotten egg hit him in the face. The restaurant owner stared at him indifferently, and distributed all the rotten eggs in the restaurant to the guests one by one, free of charge.

"Get out, I'll beat you up, what do you want!"

"Dare to slander Mr. Su, you are slandering us, we want to avenge Mr. Su!!"

"Go, sisters!"

Among them, the hatred of women seems to be particularly strong, and all the moves are thrown at Bian Junliang's pain, and he is thrown away abruptly.

Then everyone raised their eyebrows one by one, turned their heads and apologized to Su Buyi, it was they who listened to the slander and didn't know right from wrong, and made Mr. Su feel wronged.

Unexpectedly, Su Buyi shook his head and smiled, "It doesn't matter if I am wronged or not, but if those who want to solve the problem but hesitate to come to me for help, it would be bad to delay the best time. I'm a fortune teller." Is the purpose just for money? No! I am for the common people and common people in the world! It is very good that you can understand me."

These righteous words moved all the people with tears in their eyes and were deeply moved, praising Mr. Su for being such a good person repeatedly.

Some people even wanted to pay for Su Buyi's divination on the spot. This Mr. Su is a man with a flame in his hand, and he is fully worthy of the word master.

But Su Buyi temporarily shirked on the grounds of being too tired today, and left the restaurant with Miss Lianqiao under the enthusiastic eyes of everyone.

As soon as she left the restaurant, Miss Lianqiao bowed to Su Buyi in embarrassment, and explained the reason of the incident:

"It's like this... Someone came to me that day and said that they found my lost Zhuchai. I hope I can use my Zhuchai to compare. Because they are all big people, I can't refuse and I have to agree..."

"As a result, a day later, when the man came back, there was an extra red hairpin in his hand, which looked exactly like mine. He explained that the one you were looking for was fake, and asked me to come over to help testify... I wanted to refuse at first, But they..."

Lianqiao lowered her head guiltily, Su Buyi could fully think of the methods of those people, coercion and temptation, so she directly interrupted her words: "It's all right now, you can go back, take your Zhuchai. "

Seeing that he forgave herself lightly, Lianqiao bowed again with tears in her eyes, suddenly stuffed something in her bosom into Su Buyi's hand, then turned and left.

Su Buyi lowered his head and saw that it was a 500 tael bank note, so he was startled immediately.

Wu Yu saw it, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Miss Lianqiao really repented and gave you all the money she earned."

"How embarrassing is that?" Su Buyi smiled shyly, but he still didn't forget to stuff the banknote into his bosom as if it were precious.

Wu Yu was very speechless: "...someone said just now that he did these things for the sake of the common people, not for money."

"Yes." Su Buyi looked upright, "I am for the common people of the world, and I also accept this money for the common people of the world. If I don't accept it, they will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and will be depressed for a long time. How can this be?" OK?"

"As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, this dirty money can only be taken over by me."

Wu Yu squinted at him: "Squeeze the smile on the corner of your mouth first, it almost reaches the ears."

Su Buyi coughed lightly and rubbed his sore cheeks from laughing.

"But what's the matter with Huo Huo and Zhu Chai?" As the person who stayed with Su Buyi for the longest time, Wu Yu didn't believe that this person really knew astrology and divination, so he couldn't help asking suspiciously, "Are you What method was used?"

"It's nothing." Su Buyi simply said, "It's just alcohol and lead powder."

Wu Yu was confused: "Wine, alcohol? Lead... what?"

Su Buyi glanced at him helplessly, and waved his hands. Anyway, the other party must not understand these words, so what else did he say.

Does gold turn white when it meets lead?Does it mean that alcohol ignites into a low-temperature blue flame?

Forget it, let the other party think that he is a fairy.

"These are all mysterious techniques, it's normal for you not to understand." Su Buyi smiled, "Compared to these, this time we won the game and didn't eat, so we have to go to the prince's mansion to reward ourselves."

"That's right!" This sentence made Wu Yu excited immediately, "If I want to hear those rumors, I won't be happy. Now that you hit them and run away, let's see if they dare to provoke you again."

Su Buyi did not agree with his thoughts: "This is just one of the troubles. In order to bring down me and the prince, they will definitely send more people to use more ruthless evidence to plot against me, and they will not give up easily. "

Wu Yu panicked: "Then what should we do? Even if you are scheming, you can't resist all the back arrows."

Su Buyi: "..." There are many tricks?

How does this feel like a derogatory term.

"Yeah, originally I thought it would be more troublesome to explain, but they did it at all costs, and waiting to die will only let them find an opportunity to take advantage of."

Su Buyi's eyes quickly flashed a trace of coldness, and he sighed softly: "So, we must take the initiative to attack here."

Wu Yu's eyes lit up: "You have a solution?"

Su Buyan smiled mysteriously: "How about letting me be a real fairy once?"

Wu Yu: "...What???"

Just like what Wu Yu said, if Su Buyi wants to prove that he has real talents and learning, he must show a discerning effect in order to stop everyone's mouths, but this is quite difficult.

But Su Buyi had a plan in mind, but he needed the cooperation of Prince Zhao.

After he returned to the mansion, he personally discussed with Qi Huan for a while. Qi Huan was shocked by his bold plan at first, but couldn't make up his mind for a while.

It is better for Su Buyi to let him take care of this matter alone, but Qi Huan will not be able to touch the benefits, so Qi Huan gritted his teeth and chose to take risks.

But in fact, after Qi Huan sent someone to promote it, he was still anxious: "Sir, are you sure this plan is feasible?"

"Of course." Su said without doubt, "When have I ever lied to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Huan became more and more uneasy...

With the help of Prince Zhao Qi Huan, a major event quickly spread in the capital, and it was related to Mr. Su Buyi, who was the most discussed in Beijing!

So many people became curious.

"Have you heard that Mr. Su couldn't bear the suffering of the people suffering from famine, and decided to pray for rain to solve this once-in-a-century drought!"

People in the capital have never heard of the term "begging for rain".

After all, because of this severe drought, the higher-ups ordered Qin Tianjian to pray for rain several times, but unfortunately they failed, and the people gradually became disappointed and no longer expected it.

At this time, when they heard that Su Buji asked for rain, they were also surprised, but very few people thought that he could succeed.

"Praying for rain? Forget it. I can't ask for rain this day. Could it be that he will be able to do well when he plays?"

"This is to gain attention. I use all kinds of tricks. Didn't you think that failure would make you laugh?"

Except for the person who witnessed Su Buyi's miraculous flame in the restaurant that day, he still insisted on trusting Su Buyi:

"Mr. Su's words will definitely work! He is a real celestial master. If even he can't do it, I'm afraid this ghostly weather can't be saved."

"Yes, I believe in Mr. Su. How many days will it take to pray for rain? Five days? Well, I will definitely join in when the time comes!"

However, they were only a small number of people, and there was no disturbance in the hearts of the public, but they all decided to watch and pray for rain in person five days later with the mood of watching the excitement.

When this matter was reported to Prime Minister Zuo, a member of the party was still laughing wantonly and said: "My lord, I think that Su is no doubt shooting himself in the foot, we don't need to do it ourselves, he will go to the road of destruction by himself, don't you?" Worth mentioning!"

After Bian Junliang failed, they were still considering how to set the next trap.

But before he could do anything, it was reported that Su Buyi wanted to kill himself for rain, and he immediately became disdainful.

They didn't believe it anymore, even such a nonsense thing as praying for rain, Su Buyi could still do it?

Then they will admit that Su Buji is a real god!

Zuo Xiang frowned and thought deeply, "Su Buyi should be a smart person, maybe he can do something."

The subordinates were puzzled: "Can you still do tricks in the rain?"

"Send someone to check in private to see if he has any abnormal behavior." Zuo Xiang said coldly, "Come here to report to this old man every day, don't miss any details."

Only then did the subordinate respectfully accept the order: "Here!"

Therefore, from today onwards, Prime Minister Zuo can receive reports about Su Buyi every day.

"On September 27th, Su Buyi ate, drank and had fun at the palace, so happy..."

"On September 28th, Su Buyi watched a play and listened to music in a restaurant, so happy..."

"On September 29th, Su Buyi went outing and drinking in the suburbs. He had a great time..."

"September [-]th..."

Seeing this report of eating, drinking and having fun without doing anything serious at all, Zuo Xiang fell silent: ...

Based on his many years of experience in the officialdom, he has no idea what Su Buyi wants to do? ?

In the end, he could only helplessly say: "...continue to investigate."

But no matter how much he probed, he would definitely find nothing out, because Su Buyi had no plans at all.

He just knows exactly the days when the nectar is seen for a long time in the game "Dream Back to the Ancient Times": the first day of October, the second quarter of Maoshi.

On this day, the Great Wei Dynasty will finally end the severe drought that has lasted for more than two months, and usher in a large-scale precipitation. This is the opportunity that Su Buyi was waiting for.

But he didn't tell anyone this information, and he didn't need to tell others. He still did what he liked every day, welcoming the arrival of the first day of October with the most leisurely attitude.

But outside the palace, all the people were in an uproar because of his act of praying for rain. Everyone was very curious about whether the rain would fall or not.

"It's impossible anyway... Isn't this self-defeating?"

"Then why did he insist on choosing the method of praying for rain? He must be confident."

"Do you want to come and gamble?"

"...Not bad, good, I bet you!"

The two gangsters smiled and hooked their shoulders and were about to enter the gambling house, but unexpectedly, there was a roar from behind: "Mr. Su is praying for rain for the people of the whole world. It's fine if you don't support him, but you still want to use it to help him!" It's a gamble! Don't your consciences ache!"

Turning his head, he saw a number of heroines standing in a row in majestic clothes, looking at them coldly.

The two men flinched subconsciously, but shouted unwillingly, "What's none of your business?"

"It's none of our business?" The women sneered and said, "Hehe, Mr. Su doesn't have time to take care of you people, so let us help him clear the way!"

Saying that, one by one suddenly raised the brooms in their hands, and attacked them with glaring eyes: "Pray for rain in your heart with Mr. Su! There are still so many people in Dawei who are starving. Just pray secretly for them, and today I will correct your indifference and indifference, look at the trick!"

"Aiyo, aiyo!" Suddenly, the gangsters bared their teeth and howled in pain from the street.

Soon, this area was well organized under the supervision of the women, and no one made fun of praying for rain anymore.

In this way, the days rushed forward for five days.

On the day of praying for rain, early in the morning, the people in the capital stretched their necks in anticipation. Even the officials who entered the court today stood absent-mindedly in the main hall, wondering whether the praying for rain would be successful.

The little emperor had heard about Su Buji's desire to ask for rain a long time ago, and he was more enthusiastic about this matter than anyone else.

Seeing that few people were talking about business, he coughed lightly, and said, "Calculating the time, it should be the time to pray for rain."

Hearing this, all the ministers were stunned, and everyone's reaction was different, some were purely interested, some showed disdain, and some were quite nervous.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly." Xiao Zhonglang, who did not deal with Su Buyi, was the first to stand up and sneered, "Praying for rain is a very important matter. It is not a joke. Even Qin Tianjian has repeatedly He didn't even succeed in begging for rain, he is just a scholar, how could he succeed, it's just a joke."

Tang Taifu frowned, although he also felt that Su Buyi's praying for rain was a bit ridiculous, but today is a big day, and they, as Prince Zhao's henchmen, must stand up and speak out.

"General Zhonglang, don't talk too much." So he stood up leisurely, and said with a smile, "After all, you were the one who said that to Mr. Su last time. You suffered a big loss at that time, and you forgot it so quickly. ?”

Xiao Zhonglang twitched his eyebrows, and immediately retorted: "This is different from that!"

"From my point of view, it's the same thing." Tang Taifu smiled and said, "Who would have thought of the grain yield of thirty shi per mu of land? That's why Mr. Su is so unpredictable. Maybe this time , he can also surprise us.”

"That's not bad." The little emperor clapped his hands with great interest. "Nowadays, many places are suffering from drought. If he can pray for heavy rain, it will be a great achievement. I look forward to it very much."

Hearing this, the other ministers didn't react too much, but Prime Minister Zuo frowned tightly, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you know that Prince Zhao asked for leave today and failed to go to court."

"I know." The little emperor replied quickly, "The emperor said that he was afraid that there would be a mistake in the process of praying for rain, so he wanted to follow him."

However, after the words fell, he thought he had given Zuo Xiang a very satisfactory answer, but Zuo Xiang kept frowning at him, and there seemed to be some kind of anger hidden in his eyes.

The little emperor was stared at inexplicably, and couldn't find the reason for a long time, so he could only ask nervously: "Prime Minister... is there any problem?"

Only then did Zuo Xiang finally look away, his face was cold and his body exuded low pressure: "I'm fine, minister."

But Liu Zhi who was standing behind saw it and couldn't help sighing.

The emperor was still too naive to see the conspiracy.

The matter of praying for rain has nothing to do with the prince.But since Prince Zhao took the initiative to ask for rain, it means that he has the consciousness of breaking the boat!

Praying for rain this time is a life-and-death battle.

If he wins, Prince Zhao will gain unprecedented support from the people. If he loses, all the prestige accumulated before will be for naught and disappear together.

Can choose such a vague bet to offer everything, I really don't know whether Prince Zhao is confident or has no way out.

But no matter how you say it, Prince Zhao's trust in Su Buyi is well known.

Because no one is willing to bet their whole life on others, but Prince Zhao did it, and so did Su Buyi.

For the first time, Liu Zhi had the idea of ​​meeting this little-known Mr. Su.

……

At this moment, the two people whom he was moved by were still dawdling in the palace, and they didn't have the courage to go to the battlefield at all.

Prince Zhao Qi Huan was so nervous that his hands and feet were cold. Although he agreed to pray for rain because of his trust in Su Buyi, he was still very nervous.

"...Mr. Su, are you sure there is no problem, the rain must be able to come down." He repeatedly confirmed with Su Buyi.

Contrary to him, Su Buyi's attitude was very lazy, and he didn't seem to be facing an important occasion at all. He even yawned lazily: "It's nothing, it's absolutely nothing, don't worry."

The more he looked like this, the more nervous Qi Huan felt for some reason...

At this moment, it even gave birth to the idea of ​​whether it is really the right choice to entrust one's important future to such a person...

But soon he strengthened his belief that he had to shoot when the arrow was on the string, and he could not look forward and backward, otherwise he would miss everything.

Seeing his rather stiff appearance, Su Buyi shook his head helplessly, and patted him on the shoulder: "Relax, your task is to go on stage and say a few words, and the rest will be up to my performance. By the way, those How has the actor rehearsed recently, where are you now?"

"I have already put on the Taoist costumes, and I have learned how to dance the sword very well." Speaking of this, Qi Huan's face became even weirder, "Do you really want them to come on stage to pray for rain? I'm afraid it will be difficult for them with such identities. This elegant hall."

Su Buyi shook his head and smiled slightly: "The main focus of my prayer for rain is them."

Qi Huan couldn't understand, this actor had never been on such an important stage, and if they performed dances, wouldn't it make God even more angry?

But Su Buyi's expression was too determined, he could only nod his head in doubt, and took a deep breath: "The time is coming, let's go."

Today's Qi Huan is dressed in the grand costumes of the sacrificial ceremony, but Su Buji is still dressed as a scholar.

But even so, he was as dazzling as a firefly in the crowd. When he smiled gently, the confidence and chic in his gestures suddenly emerged.

"Okay, let's go."

"Go and pray for rain."
