Under the moonlit night, the two sat and stood facing each other for a long time.
Let's talk about these two people, although Bai Yousi can't be said to be smarter than Bingxue, but considering their origins and consistent performance as top nobles, they are obviously smart.
As for Zhang Xing, he became something of a big V at a young age in that world. His ability to talk on paper and negotiate politics was naturally first-rate. He was also very good at making up jokes about male-female antagonism and being a PUA in the workplace... plus In the ninth year of compulsory education, there is no so-called big picture. I can still make up my mind through small tricks, and I can barely be considered a half-smart person.
Just two smart people, silently confronting each other, as if the confrontation had reached a stalemate.
To put it bluntly, regardless of whether there are any flaws or not, Bai Yousi and Bai's inspections are Zhang Xing's biggest reliance in Luoyang.
First of all, it was a subordinate relationship, and the two parties had a mutual affection after all; secondly, because they were together, Zhang Xing could probably see that Bai Yousi was a person with a clear sense of right and wrong, and what he had just done, even though it was a matter of pleasure and revenge, But the words "hoe the strong and support the weak" are not mentioned.
Even Qin Bao thought that Bai Yousi could be relied upon.
However, this does not mean that Zhang Xing has to openly admit to Bai Yousi that he killed someone.
The reason couldn't be simpler. She was a female patrol inspector, and Zhang Xing was not sure whether she was a procedurally fair person or a factual fair person.
What if people want to enforce the law like a mountain?
Therefore, while asking for help, you must also resolutely not admit that you are a murderer. This is a matter of initiative.
Of course, the song "Quiet Night Thoughts" aroused the other party's great suspicion, so it was really an accident... I don't know how long the inspector had been standing on the roof.
But even so, Zhang Xing believed that Bai Yousi could understand his series of words and hints, and if she was really a right-wing and conscientious person like she showed, she would always be willing to work hard. of.
And if not, consider yourself blind.
"Zhang Xing." After a while, Bai Yousi spoke quietly, finally breaking the silence.
"I'm here." Zhang Xing bowed slightly to face him.
"I heard from Chai Changjian that before the incident, you tried to ask Mrs. Feng for your maid Xiaoyu, but she shied away?" Bai Yousi said thoughtfully. "Did you kill the couple because of this?"
"Mrs. Feng said at that time that she would ask Mr. Feng to give me a reply early the next morning." Zhang Xing responded quickly and without any flaws. "Even if I want to be upset about this, I should wait until General Feng Qi says no... I also ask Inspector Bai not to arbitrarily identify others as murderers. This is not the dignity that Inspector Zhu Shou should have. .”
"Forget it." Bai Yousi smiled. "But if I really want to get involved in this case, what can you say?"
"What I know and don't know, what I can and cannot say, I have told Chai Changjian and Qin Erlang." Zhang Xing handed over his hands and faced each other again. "When the inspection comes to ask questions at this time, it is nothing more than repeating it again. I think this matter must be related to the Qingyu Gang incident. And if we look into the doubts carefully, it may not be on the Qingyu Gang side. There are also casualties on our side. .”
Bai Yousi nodded, as if the next moment she would be lucky enough to jump up and disappear into the night.
Zhang Xing also prepared in this way.
"Speaking of which, it has been more than half a month since you came to Dongdu. Have the illnesses in your legs and brain been cured?" Unexpectedly, Bai Yousi not only did not leave, but suddenly mentioned some unexpected topics.
"The leg has been healed for a long time. Last night, the fifth main channel was opened, but my mind still can't remember those things." Zhang Xing, who had always dealt with it well, was indeed caught off guard.
"In your words, just like a baby?"
"yes."
"Then what do you think of this Dongdu from a baby's perspective?" Bai Yousi put the sword across his lap.
Zhang Xing was silent for a moment and said honestly: "I can probably guess the meaning of the inspection. I want to ask what I think of the political atmosphere in Dongdu and the stability of the city after being a street cleaner for a while. But in fact, if I Judging from my thoughts these days, I always feel that Qi has too much influence...it’s hard to care about other things."
"That is the vitality of heaven and earth, which is the foundation of the universe." When Bai Yousi heard this, he naturally felt that it was a bit outrageous. "Nature affects everything, including astronomy, geography, personnel and customs, and military and political traditions."
"What I mean is that Qi, even in the Chongmai stage, can be used to farm land or build houses. It is extremely easy to use. However, it is mostly used for fighting and killing."
Zhang Xing shook his head in reply.
"In the end, true energy and practice have almost become synonymous with sects, gangs, armies, weapons, and even killings. I clearly felt in Dongdu that wherever practitioners are present, people are killed and things are done at every turn. It’s about fighting and killing... This is not what the vitality of heaven and earth is supposed to do, it is supposed to benefit people.”
"You are absolutely right." Under the moonlight, Bai Yousi's thoughts began to wander, and so did his tone of voice. "Back then, Emperor Bai also said that the vitality of heaven and earth should be used by both the military and the people, just like cast iron can be used as a plow or a sword. But in fact, there is always not much iron in the world. If you want to use it for the people, you must first Use it in the army, and when the world is at peace, you can turn swords into plowshares... But I don't know why, the world is never peaceful, so there are always more swords and less plowshares. "
"And what's particularly strange is that, according to what was said before the inspection, the vitality of heaven and earth is inversely related to the peace of the world. It seems that it will only be filled up when there is great strife and everyone is bleeding. If there is a little peace, it will be scarce. "Zhang Xing continued to express his confusion. "This is really hard to understand."
"I have some guesses about this. It may not be what you said." Bai Yousi smiled slightly. "But this topic is a bit big. When your cultivation level rises, you will gradually understand... Just talk about stability. What do you think of Dongdu? There are only two of us here, so just tell the truth."
"It's strange." Zhang Xing replied after thinking carefully. "Suppose Dongdu is a pot. It looks very quiet at this time. It's like the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the pot. Everyone has their own place and there is no chaos. But you can live in it, but you feel that there are dark clouds and an undercurrent. ... People in the market are killing people at every turn. The smart people in the middle don’t hesitate to have money and power. They have long wanted to jump out. The people above are even more prepared to fight. Not to mention that we all know that if you calculate the time, it can be as little as half a month or more. Then in January, Dongyi’s defeat will be involved in Dongdu.”
"It can't be delayed any longer." Bai Yousi shook his head. "The messenger from Dongyi seeking peace has arrived soon. In addition, you escaped from the north, and the two naval armies from the south returned in full force, bringing back 20,000 to 30,000 defeated soldiers. Now you are in the Xuzhou area... …However, the Fifth Army is not among them.”
"This is what I find particularly strange..." Zhang Xing also sighed quietly. "That means that logically speaking, no matter who it is, they should feel that this pot of water should not boil."
Bai Yousi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why do you think this pot of water shouldn't boil?"
"What can I say? The late Emperor swallowed up the Eastern Qi, went to the Southern Chen, and subdued the Northern Wilderness. The remnants of the Wu Clan, the two islands of the Demon Clan, and the fifty states of Dongyi all came to congratulate him. There was a tendency to unify the world and stabilize the world. Then Logically speaking, the world should be at peace. Even the Dongdu City was just built twenty years ago. Even Dongyi came to seek peace after two complete victories... In other words, this pot of water has just been restored. Just put it in." Zhang Xing responded seriously. "I'd like to ask the inspector, how come a pot of water that has just been put in is about to boil? How can you believe that it is about to boil? But it just feels like the water has become hot."
"Yes, this is why everyone in the world is surprised." Bai Yousi rarely sighed with emotion. "Not to mention the late emperor, even in the first ten years of the saint's reign, flowers were blooming and fire was cooking oil. The finances were getting better day by day, and the state's authority was getting stronger day by day... So, not only you don't understand, but even I don't understand I don’t understand, with such a big situation in hand, why did both campaigns against Dongyi fail so miserably, and why did Yang Ni rebel again? How did the situation become like this? Who lit the fire under the kettle? How many pieces of wood were burned? Where did it come from?"
Zhang Xing responded with silence.
"Forget it, I was the one asking you originally, but in the end I was quite emotional." Bai Yousi came back to his senses and smiled. "However, you have only been in Beijing for more than half a month. You have only read a few books, taken a pulse, and been a street cleaner for more than ten days. You are able to have these opinions, insights, and questions. It is really scary. You are truly a talent."
Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, then asked under the moonlight: "Inspector Bai, I don't quite understand. Is this a test of me? If I have some knowledge and some use, please work hard for me and cleanse me." Am I suspicious? Otherwise, just ignore it?"
"No." Bai Yousi straightened the sword in his hand and smiled even brighter. "The exam is of course a school exam, but it has nothing to do with this case or your involvement. Now that I'm here, I naturally have to find out what's right and what's wrong... Because you are my person after all, so you should kill innocent women and children. It was me who strung up the sword and hung it up. If you were bullied and wronged, it would be me who would stand up for you... The whole Jing'an Taiwan knows this rule of mine."
Zhang Xing was determined, and at the same time he suddenly realized why Chai Changjian looked like that when he heard that he was assigned by Bai Yousi.
Bai Yousi looked at the other party, but continued to comfort him: "Zhang Xing, don't worry... I am strong, you are weak, I am above, you are below... In this world, if you say that the strong can protect you, If you are weak, it is nonsense that the superiors can protect the inferiors as much as possible, but for me, you can always consider the right and wrong at hand and protect a small area. As long as you are open-minded in your heart, I will never let you be a carp in a pot of suffocation. You can’t even jump out.”
After saying that, Bai Yousi finally put away the sword, stood up, turned around, and smiled back: "I'm leaving, but is there anything Wenhua Tiancheng wants to give me?"
Zhang Xing felt a slight impulse in his heart and almost opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he just chuckled: "Inspector Bai was joking... Also, next time you come to see me, just call me up. There is no need to stand on the roof for so long."
Bai Yousi nodded, and the next moment he just jumped slightly and suddenly disappeared under the moon.
