"Without the protection of my own mother, my life at that time was even more difficult." Hua Mianlang continued his story. After all, people who have endured hardship like him have an innate desire to talk, and he I was taciturn before, always hiding myself behind a mask, and it was difficult to find a suitable audience.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, in addition to officials like Han Pingzhi and Yi Ming, including the police and criminals related to the espionage case, there are almost more than 200 people in total. Lang's audience.
It was not easy to find someone who was willing to listen to his story. Of course, Huamianlang was not willing to miss such an opportunity. He even made a small calculation in his heart, hoping that his tragic past could help him reduce some of his guilt. After all, the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom He is dead, but he is alive. It is not impossible that his tragic story may have sympathized with the officer who is trying the case, so that he will be merciful when trying his crime.
“Because I had no one to rely on, I could only wander on the streets, eat garbage thrown away by people, and compete with wild dogs for food. During these days, I suffered all the looks and insults.
Sometimes, just for a bite of food, they even have to imitate the barking of dogs for those donors.
Once when I was begging in a wealthy family, I discovered that there was a young master in their family who was about the same age as me.
Looking at his appearance, and then thinking about my own appearance, I suddenly understood that the reason why I suffered so much was because I was too ugly.
At that time, I secretly swore in my heart that even if I went to the ends of the world, I would learn a skill to change myself and become a real person like that young master. "
Talking about these tragic experiences in the past, the past events are still vivid in his mind, which can't help but make Huamian Lang feel sad. His eyes are red and tears are rolling in his eyes.
Although reason told Han Pingzhi that he should not let this person continue talking, because time was tight and the banquet was almost ready. He must quickly complete the handover work with Yi Ming, so that he can happily take everyone to a feast.
However, Han Pingzhi really couldn't bear to interrupt him. After all, the man in front of him was really miserable. It was already a tragedy for him to be so ugly when he was born. As a result, he was cruelly abandoned by his mother and lived a homeless life ever since. days, and in such days, he never met a good person, or in other words, good people turned bad when they met him. His wandering and helplessness during those days, others can imagine it without him having to say it. .
And at the beginning of the game, he was so ugly, but he was able to cultivate such high martial arts skills. When he fought with Zhou Ming, he had the upper hand and almost lost his life. This in itself can be said to be a very special person. It's a big miracle, and it's certain that he must have suffered a lot in the process of practicing martial arts. After all, a person of noble birth like Han Pingzhi didn't go that far on the road of practicing martial arts. easy.
It was also the first time for Zhou Yiming to know that Huamianlang's life experience was so miserable. While listening to his story, Zhou Yiming kept muttering in his heart that he really shouldn't have been so cruel in the first place.
After all, Hua Mian Lang has practiced martial arts and mastered an exquisite disguise technique. With these skills as capital, he was only one step away from becoming famous and changing his destiny. However, he ended up taking all this away. It's all over.
Now Hua Mianlang has lost all his martial arts skills and is no different from a useless person. The only good thing is that he can also disguise himself. If he can escape death in this espionage case, even with this He is a proficient in the art of disguise and has traveled all over the world without starving to death. However, if he wants to achieve success without relying on himself, it is absolutely impossible.
It is precisely because of this thought that Zhou Yiming feels that he has a responsibility for Huamian Lang. No matter what his fate is in the future, he must do his best to help him. After all, without him, Zhou Yiming It is not easy for Ming to find a suitable booster to fly into the sky.
"Since then, I have been begging for food while wandering around the world, looking for famous teachers everywhere, trying to find a skill that can change my appearance." During the process of telling the story, Huamian Lang found that everyone present was interested in his He was very interested in the story, so he became more and more enthusiastic as he talked about it, “I won’t tell you the hardships involved.
All the hard work paid off, and by chance, I finally found a famous teacher from outside the world. After all my begging, he saw that I was really ugly. Finally, he was moved by my sincerity and agreed to teach me his skills. A unique skill, the art of disguise that has been lost in the world for a long time. "
Among the people present, more and more people were moved by the story of the flower-faced man, especially the dignitaries. When Yi Ming exposed the identity of the oiran girl in front of them for the first time, these people all hated the flower-faced man. It was deeply disturbing, because this kid not only pretended to be a beautiful woman, but also deceived them, deceived and played with their emotions, so that some of them even abandoned their wives and children, making it impossible for them to return home.
But when these dignitaries listened to Hua Mian Lang's story, most of them were relieved, and a small number of people even forgave Hua Mian Lang, because everyone felt that the reason why this man did these evil things was also Those who have difficulties may do the same if they were in the position of Hua Mian Lang, but they will definitely not do as well as Hua Mian Lang.
"After I learned the art of disguise from this worldly master, he suddenly passed away. He only had me as his disciple in his whole life." Speaking of his old mentor, Huamianlang couldn't help but feel sad. , infinite sadness welled up in his heart. After all, if he had not met this mentor, he would have continued to sink into the sea of misery.
“After thoroughly mastering this art of disguise, I discovered that this unique skill is not perfect, and it is simply impossible to use it to completely change my appearance.
So I have been exploring and improving this technology since then. It was not until seven or eight years ago that I completely improved this technology to perfection.
At the beginning, I also tried to recruit a few apprentices in the North Country, hoping to carry forward this technique and pass it on, but the facts proved that this was simply impossible.
Those apprentices either couldn't understand this technology, or it was difficult to master it, and some were simply not qualified enough, so I gave up later.
So, my lord, please don’t look at my ugly appearance and think that it’s easy for me to master the art of disguise, because you can see people through the cracks in the door! "
Hua Mianlang said the last sentence loudly, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Han Pingzhi feel a little embarrassed. After all, he really looked down on this ugly person just now, so he asked that stupid question.
Although no one at the scene spoke, they all felt sorry for Hua Mian Lang. They felt that a high-ranking official like Han Pingzhi still judged people based on their appearance, which was a disgrace to the great Chu country.
Seeing the situation, Zhou Yiming was a little embarrassed and immediately stepped forward to help Han Pingzhi. After all, the relationship between the two of them was better than that of real brothers. If Han Pingzhi was allowed to continue to be embarrassed like this, his own face would not look good.
"Flower Man, you must not be presumptuous! Mr. Han is my direct superior and will have full authority to handle your case in the future. If you are rude to him, you are doing yourself a disservice!"
Hua Mianlang originally wanted to say something to humiliate Han Pingzhi, but when he saw Yi Ming suddenly scolding him, he immediately gave up the idea and said obediently: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, the villain knows, it's all the villain's fault!"
After admitting his mistake, Huamianlang shut his mouth and said no more words.
"Master Han, the thieves in the North are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. If there is anything wrong with you, please don't take it personally!" Zhou Yiming said with a smile.
"Of course!" Han Pingzhi's face turned red, and he kept regretting it in his heart. He thought that I had been an official for many years, and how could I make such a low-level mistake? It would be better now. It would be really embarrassing to make a fool of myself in front of so many people.
If Brother Zhou hadn't stepped in to help me out, it would have been very difficult for this situation to end today. After all, this flower-faced man is an important witness in this spy case. Even if I get angry again and vent my anger on him, I can't kill him with one knife. Because he has a greater use for himself.
After the turmoil passed, Han Pingzhi and Yi Ming repeatedly confirmed Huamianlang's identity, and then completed the handover. The police from the General Affairs Office directly escorted Huamianlang to the prison behind him, and the Yan family took care of him. Just in case, Han Pingzhi also sent 20 additional sergeants to guard the door of the prison to ensure that the cell was safe.
After the most important witness was taken into custody, the subsequent work became much easier. Han Pingzhi and Yi Ming were chatting while starting the handover work from the back of the team.
After seeing those dignitaries, Han Pingzhi was a little surprised at first, because among these people, he had many acquaintances, as well as some nephews and relatives of relatives and friends.
"Brother Zhou, are these people also related to this case?" Han Pingzhi asked knowingly, just to give Zhou Ming a warning and tell him that he knew some of the people here. If he opened his eyes and pardoned some people in the future, Tell him not to make a fuss.
Zhou Yiming Bingxue was smart and naturally knew the mystery behind Han Ping's words, so he smiled very cooperatively and said: "These people are the benefactors who surrounded the flower-faced man when he was pretending to be an oiran girl. It is said that these people were deeply in love with the flower-faced man at that time." , even spending huge sums of money to get close to him.
Of course, this does not mean that they are related to this case. The reason why I brought them back was based on the principle of preferring to kill the wrong person rather than let them go, for fear of letting a bad person go.
As for whether they themselves colluded with these spies from the North, we will have to wait for Master Han's trial to find out in the future. "
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong, who were standing far away, were all shocked when they heard what Zhou Ming said.
