The moonlight is like water, quietly shining in the pavilion.
The cold moonlight shone on Zuo Xiangting's thin and determined face, leaving a shadow in the corners of his eyes.
Since learning the outcome of the lawsuit, Zuo Xiangting has been silent and stood in the pavilion, looking quietly into the distance.
He stood there for half an hour. When Zuo Zongyuan felt that his legs were beginning to ache, Zuo Xiangting slowly turned around and looked at him.
"What do you think about this?"
Zuo Zongyuan sighed: "Obviously no one thought that His Majesty would personally take action this time, so that King Qi would be completely defeated."
Zuo Xiangting asked again: "Have you ever wondered why His Majesty took action?"
Zuo Zongyuan had been thinking about this question for a long time, but in the end he didn't have any answer. When Zuo Xiangting asked, he could only say distressedly: "I don't know. I originally thought that His Majesty was just taking advantage of Su Shi to sit on the dragon throne." Above, who would have thought that he would enter the game."
At this point, Zuo Zongyuan said again: "If His Majesty hadn't taken action, Su Shi would have lost this game."
Zuo Xiangting said lightly: "Really?"
Zuo Zongyuan said with a smile: "In court, if you have a reasonable appointment to testify for Dongyuan Zhiku, Qianqiu Zhiku has no chance of winning."
Zuo Xiangting obviously didn't want to get too entangled in this issue, because this lawsuit brought too much shock to everyone, and gave everyone a hint of something unusual.
What exactly does His Majesty want to do?
At this time, Zuo Zongyuan sighed again: "Who would have thought that the final result would be that Dongyuan's quality warehouse was sealed, and seven people from Rioux were also taken away. Now there are only two people left in Rioux to guard the gate."
Zuo Xiangting was pacing back and forth in the pavilion, and suddenly stopped again, looked at Zuo Zongyuan, and said, "Do you think this is strange?"
Zuo Zongyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Not only is it strange, this matter is simply weird in every way. I have never figured out why Dongyuan Zhiku acted so hastily this time, and Tian Wenhao was thoughtful and his plan should not be so full of mistakes. "
Zuo Xiangting nodded and said slowly: "Even if Tian Wenhao did not expect that His Majesty would take action, he clearly knew that Princess Pingle was now on Su Shi's side and knew Dongyuan Zhiku's methods well. How could Tian Wenhao not do it? Precautionary? There must be something fishy in it."
"What's even more strange is that Bai Jiangchuan actually disappeared." Zuo Zongyuan murmured: "And the secret guards couldn't find any trace of him despite searching everywhere. What happened to him?"
Zuo Xiangting's expression changed, and an unreasonable idea suddenly came to his mind. However, this idea only flashed through his mind, because this idea seemed to him like a fantasy.
When Lin Mo and Zhang Ao saw the people in the lamp shadow clearly, they stood in front of Su Shi, protecting Su Shi behind them like a wall.
Su Shi patted their shoulders, then separated the two of them, looked at the man who was as motionless as a statue, shook his head and said, "Even if I break my head, I never would have thought that the person who invited me here is actually you. .”
But then he sighed: "But after seeing you, I also figured out a lot of things."
Bai Jiangchuan's face seemed to be wearing a mask. From the time Su Shi and the others opened the door and walked in until now, they had not shown any expression.
Only then did he look up at Su Shi and said lightly, "What have you figured out?"
Su Shichang sighed: "It turns out you were the one who wanted the Dongyuan Quality Library to be completely destroyed."
Bai Jiangchuan's calm eyes suddenly changed, mixed with anger, shame, pain, sadness... He slowly closed his eyes and said, "Is Dongyuan Zhiku finished?"
Su Shi nodded slightly and said, "Dongyuan Quality Library will not appear again in Daqian."
Bai Jiangchuan opened his eyes, a hint of pleasure flashed in his eyes, but the expression on his face was as if he wanted to vomit.
"Zhou Yu must be surprised."
"Yes, if you were there at the time, you would be very happy to see his wonderful expression."
Bai Jiangchuan looked at him in surprise: "Can you understand why I do this?"
Su Shi slowly exhaled and said slowly: "If we had changed places, I'm afraid I would have gone crazy."
Bai Jiangchuan suddenly looked at him gratefully, but then he looked up at the roof of the building and said word by word: "I have gone crazy a long time ago."
Su Shi had to admit what Bai Jiangchuan said. His heart had long been twisted, so he behaved like a madman.
But Su Shi said calmly: "But if I were you, if anyone wants me to go crazy, I will let him die instead of hurting other innocent people."
Bai Jiangchuan suddenly clenched his hands, and then he looked down at his fists: "Do you know how many times I wanted to strangle him alive?"
Su Shi said calmly: "But you don't dare."
Bai Jiangchuan's face showed deep sadness: "You are right, I really don't dare."
No matter how humiliated he was, he still didn't dare.
Maybe it's because he's cowardly, maybe it's because he's afraid of death, or it's more likely that the idea of servility is deeply ingrained and has been imprinted in his bone marrow.
Su Shi looked at him quietly: "Is it your plan to attack Cuinong and the others?"
Bai Jiangchuan neither admitted nor denied it.
He just said lightly: "When I first saw you, I could tell that you were a person who was not afraid of anything, and the facts proved that I was not wrong."
Su Shi shook his head: "I still can't figure out why you would think of hurting Cuinong and the others to anger me."
No one would use this method, because no one would think that a noble son would challenge a prince because of three old and lustful brothel girls.
"Someone told me that if you want the Dongyuan Quality Library to be destroyed, maybe you are the only one who has the ability to do it."
Su Shi's pupils shrank: "Who is this person?"
Bai Jiangchuan said calmly: "Do you still remember the day of the Jinghu Poetry Meeting?"
Su Shi certainly remembered that that day he had a small bet with Bai Jiangchuan and won him a hundred taels of silver.
Bai Jiangchuan continued: "That day when I was preparing to leave Jinghu Lake, I met an old man."
When he heard Bai Jiangchuan's words, Su Shi's breathing suddenly became rapid, his heart began to beat rapidly, and his face became extremely ugly.
He took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his wildly beating heart, and asked slowly: "What kind of old man did you meet?"
Bai Jiangchuan recalled: "An old man with gray hair, wearing gray robes and thousand-layer cloth shoes."
Su Shi took a long breath and couldn't help but ask, "Did he tell you his name?"
Bai Jiangchuan nodded.
Su Shi clenched his hands involuntarily: "What's his name?"
"He said his name was Pei Xuan."
