Chapter 38: Suspicion (3)

Zeng Tai walked away with great strides. Yang Lin knelt on the ground in a daze. After a long time, he heard Di Renjie's solemn voice coming from his head: "Yang Lin, let's talk about half of the letter now." Yang Lin raised his head, but saw Di Renjie's face as deep as water: "If I was not wrong, the letter was written by Chen Tingfang to Chen Huai?"

Yang Lin was shocked, and he was hurriedly lowered his eyelids. Only in this way could he have the courage to continue talking. In fact, in the dilapidated temple outside Jinchen Pass, Chen Tingfang told Yang Lin to go to Luoyang to find a man named Chen Huai, and gave him a note as a credential. According to Chen Tingfang, Yang Lin only needed to contact Chen Huai and follow Chen Huai's arrangements. Yang Lin did not know the relationship between Chen Huai and Chen Tingfang, nor did he know what tasks he was going to complete in Luoyang, but he just acted as a tool at the mercy of others.

However, Yang Lin broke into Chen's house and caused Chen Tingfang to die. He took away purple gold scissors and half a letter, which made him accidentally see some of the secrets behind the whole matter. The letter was indeed written by Chen Tingfang to Chen Huai, because he looked up and said: Huai'er saw the words as if he had met. The whole letter was sloppy and confusing, and it seemed to be written in great shock and panic. However, Yang Lin could still roughly see that Chen Tingfang wanted to tell Chen Huai that due to a major change, the originally planned plan must be completely overturned. He also reminded Chen Huai that the situation of the two of them was worrying and both faced great risks. He wanted Chen Huai to be more careful, prepare for a retreat in time, and beware of a catastrophe. Chen Tingfang wrote in an extremely frightened tone that he discovered the most terrible fact today... The letter ended abruptly.

After Yang Lin finished speaking, Di Renjie pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anything special about this letter?" Yang Lin frowned and hesitated, "I read the letter dozens of times, and I can almost memorize it. The content is what I just said. I thought a long time later that the plan mentioned in the letter was something that Chen Tingfang instructed me to go to Chen Huai's place to do?" Di Renjie snorted coldly: "It is very likely. In other words, Chen Tingfang had just arranged you, but because of a sudden incident, he changed his mind and planned to write to Chen Huai to cancel the plan. But he died unexpectedly and even the letter was taken away by you. So Chen Huai continued to implement the plan without knowing it. Humph, this is the whole story of what you have appeared in front of me in the past few months, right?"

"Mr. Di, I..." Yang Lin blushed and felt ashamed. Di Renjie sighed: "You went astray and wanted to find your mother's treasure again. You were coerced and did all kinds of shameful things. After all, you are just a puppet, and the one who is really meant to be sinister is the person behind the scenes." Yang Lin said impulsively: "Mr. Di, when he was born in Di's house, he was deeply cared for by you. He was really ashamed and was well received day and night. The torture of the heart. And General Chen Huai is by your side. Seeing that you trust him very much, Wan Sheng wants to come. Even if Wan Sheng confesses to you, you will most likely not believe me. Once General Chen knows, let alone my life is over. My mother's treasures, and even my mother's life, may be in danger. So I thought about it, but I never dared to speak out! But who knew that even so, I could not save my mother's life in the end, wuwu..."

Di Renjie thought and asked again, "There is one thing I don't understand. How did He come to Luoyang? How did he come to the Shen family to help the servants? How do you determine that once you confess, your mother will have life worries?" "Well, Lord Di doesn't know that my mother came to Luoyang to find me, and she has been helping the servants at General Shen's cousin, Miss Chen's house. Then, Miss Chen is Chen Tingfang's daughter!" Yang Lin then explained the past and after meeting his mother in the hospital that day, he finally said, "Mr. Di, you said just now that I have always been lucky, and it was really a sharp attack. I just concluded that General Chen Huai would never think of going. The truth about New Year's Eve, and the letter from Chen Ting was also in my hands, so I dared to deal with him, trying to get the chestnut from the fire and get my mother's treasure back. When I learned that my mother was helping Miss Shen and Miss Chen was very nice to her, I was even more sure of this. Therefore, I thought that as long as I could survive until the end of the exam, even if General Chen did not give me the treasure, if I passed the Jinshi, it would not be too late to get out of the official career. However, I still kept a fuss and asked my mother to pass the exam, so I left the Shen family to find Brother Zhao Mingyu, waiting for me to reunite with her. And I myself planned to try to escape from Di's mansion before and after the list."

"Hmph, Yang Lin, Yang Lin, you have made a good plan!" Yang Lin beat his chest and fell down: "Mr. Di, I realized how ridiculous he was at this moment. I killed my mother who has worked hard for me all my life!" Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears again. Di Renjie stood up from the case, paced back and forth in front of Yang Lin, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Lin, you always say that I was harmed by you, so you know you How did my mother die?" Yang Lin wiped her tears and said viciously: "My mother is in Luoyang City without any relatives and no reason. Except for Chen Huai and Shen Jun, who would cruelly kill her lonely and weak old woman!" "Oh, then let me tell you why the Shen brothers and sisters killed your mother?" "This..." Yang Lin was speechless, and then said firmly: "It must be that Chen Huai discovered that I was related to Chen Tingfang's death. He wanted to kill my mother to take revenge!"

Di Renjie shook his head repeatedly: "Yang Lin, you are so confused, but you still like to be smart!" Yang Lin lowered his head and cried, and could no longer speak. Di Renjie's sharp eyes were on the young man, and he saw him wailing on the ground, tears streaming down, and his grief was both despicable and pitiful. Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh: "From the moment he stepped into the casino, Yang Lin, you have made mistakes again and again, and finally the current situation. However, you finally did the right thing." "Ah? Lord Di?" Di Renjie looked up and chanted slowly: "

If you make a mistake in the collection of Lanzhou, you must have a crime in Nanshanzhu.

If you make mistakes and are difficult to achieve, you will regret it. If you have no choice but to die.

The ancient temple is like a community rat, and the walls are majestic and there are city foxes.

This body has already gone to the underworld, and the evil spirits are rushing to see them."

Yang Lin was shocked: "Mr. Di, do you still remember this poem?" "Of course." Di Renjie's tired words stirred up echoes in Yang Lin's ears: "What you want to express in this poem is the regret that you have ever made after a mistake... and also want to remind me that there are villains around you?" "Yes."

Di Renjie stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was talking to himself: "I have always had deep doubts about the process and purpose of your visit to Di Mansion..." Yang Lin couldn't wait to confess: "Mr. Di, I don't know what the purpose of all this is, but I will do whatever General Chen asked me to do." "I know you don't understand it, but this is not important. The key is that your poem reminded me, and made me turn my eyes to Chen Huai for the first time." Yang Lin couldn't help but shrank: "Ah? Master Di, you, have you known it long ago?"

"I thought of it, but I couldn't determine Chen Huai's purpose, so I arranged for someone to secretly monitor it. Chen Huai went to see you on the eve of the test and instructed you to write a letter of farewell to me, right?" Yang Lin shouted: "Yes, Lord Di, you even know this!" Di Renjie said with a bitterness: "This is easy to do. When you wrote the letter, you were so hard that you could pass through the back of the paper, and most of the handwriting was printed on the paper below. Di Chun took the paper to me when you left, and it was not difficult to identify what you wrote. It was this farewell letter that made me worried that Chen Huai had bad intentions for you, so I took the lead and rescued you at the test site. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what the situation is now!"

Yang Lin kowtowed repeatedly: "Mr. Di, Wansheng has deceived you for so long, but you reached out to save me. Wansheng is really, really..." Di Renjie waved his hand powerlessly: "However, I don't think Chen Huai knows that you are related to Chen Tingfang's death. According to my guess, it should be that he changed his plan and did not want to use you again, but wanted to kill someone to silence him."

"Teacher, mentor!" At this moment, Zeng Tai's anxious cry came all the way outside the yard. Di Renjie quickly approached the door: "Oh? Zeng Tai, what's the matter?" Zeng Tai looked annoyed: "Teacher, we're one step late!" "Zhao Mingyu left?" "That's not. Zhao Sheng is the president of the Lanzhou Association, so he stayed for a few more days. He will not leave until the Lanzhou candidates finished leaving the future. But... Yang Lin's bag is no longer with him." "Where is that?" Zeng Tai glanced at Yang Lin, then looked at Di Renjie, and said a little embarrassedly: "Zhao Sheng said that he got the bag after the exam, and found it very strange, so he handed over to General Chen, who was responsible for the order of the exam on the day!"

Di Renjie shook his body, and Zeng Tai rushed forward to support him: "Mr., you..." Di Renjie calmed down, gently pushed Zeng Tai's hand away, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Yang Lin suspected that Chen Huai was the murderer who killed He family, which makes some sense." "Ah? The teacher means..." Di Renjie said word by word: "Since the purple gold scissors are the original object of the Shen family, Chen Huai must recognize it. With the half letter, I think Chen Huai must have concluded that Yang Lin is the murderer who killed Chen Tingfang! It is understandable that he killed He family for revenge!"

"Mom..." Yang Lin fell to the ground crying. Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie at a loss. In just half a day, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be deeper and denser. After a long time, the old man sighed to the sky: "Heaven's evil can still be forgiven; he can't live if he does it himself..." He turned to Zeng Tai and said with great difficulty: "Zeng Tai, since there is a victim who complains that Chen Huai, the chief guard of our cabinet, is the murderer, you can order to arrest the suspect."

Outside Luoyang City, there are large red-leaf forests in the valley southwest of Mangshan. Every autumn when the red leaves bloom, I see tears and blood everywhere, and the flames are like mountain fires. With the autumn wind, the scenery is as poetic as picturesque. The whole month of September attracts tourists and linger among the mountains and forests.

In the northwest corner of the Red Leaf Forest, halfway up the mountain, there is a small corner pavilion where forest rangers climbed up to look out, which was later abandoned for some reason. From the Red Leaf Forest where tourists gathered, there is no flat mountain road. There are weeds and trees block it. You need to climb the foot to get close to the Xiaojiao Forest, so the surrounding area is rarely visited and is very secluded.

It was noon at this moment, and a thick layer of red leaves blown in by the autumn wind were laid on the ground of Xiaojiao Pavilion. The sunlight poured into the broken roof, reflecting the red leaves into golden mottled. In the silent pavilion, a man with a tall figure and a graceful dress. Although he was wearing a military officer's uniform, he had the elegant temperament of literary life. This man looked upright and looked at him freely, and only faintly revealed his anxiety from the deepest part of his eyes. He was Chen Huai.

Chen Huai came as the appointment and had been waiting in the Xiaojiao Pavilion for a while. On the surface, he did not show any anxiety, but seemed to be enjoying the scenery leisurely, but his heart was almost the same as when he was boiling a pot. In the clenched fist of his right hand was a small silver-winged dart. It was it that passed through the window paper last night and sent Chen Huai a text message to invite today's meeting. Chen Huai certainly recognized this kind of dart for the inner health organization, and knew that only the highest-level figures could use the silver-winged dart. There would never be more than three people who had this object in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Chen Huai could not predict what kind of dangerous situation he would face today, but being targeted by the inner health department means that he had no choice but to come to the appointment.

It was after the imperial examination that the purple gold scissors and half letters that accidentally fell into his hands made Chen Huai truly realize his predicament. Otherwise, he would still be dreaming of the spring and autumn with a full dream. The "true and false Xie Lan" plan implemented by Yang Lin was originally carefully arranged by Chen Tingfang for Chen Huai, and he was about to wait for Chen Huai to gain a foothold next to Di Renjie, and then began to implement it step by step. However, Chen Tingfang suddenly realized on New Year's Eve last year that this plan was a huge mistake from the beginning! Chen Tingfang wrote to Chen Huai to clarify this mistake and attempt to stop Chen Huai. Unexpectedly, Chen Tingfang died suddenly. Yang Lin hurriedly detained the letter about his life. In order to retrieve his mother's treasure, he also delivered it to him to encourage Chen Huai to act according to the original plan. , the result was out of control. Now Chen Huai looked back at the days and nights that came to Di Renjie and tasted his own mental journey. He felt ridiculous and sarcastic. He was confused and lost at first. The precious heart on Longyou Road was close; and then on the night of Menglan Basin Festival, Di Renjie was intimate. He thought he had finally broken through many heartbreaks and gained great trust from Di Renjie. Even if there were some opportunistic factors, Chen Huai still felt great success. As for whether Di Renjie regarded him as Chen Huai or Xie Lan; or even another Li Yuanfang, Chen Huai decided not to care about it, because after all, he had repeated many times in this process, and it was difficult to describe it all. What was really important was that he would eventually get a series of benefits brought by it.

But when Chen Huaizhan read the letter that was half a year late, he was terrified to realize how wishful and foolish he was. It was from that moment that he decided not to deal with Di Renjie again. Chen Huai thought that Di Renjie would sooner or later know the truth, and he had to leave Di Renjie before that, get rid of everything about "Xie Lan", and find a backer who is more powerful than Di Renjie. Because he simply left, he was not willing to die from then on. He had been pursuing fame, wealth, wealth and glory. He had been pursuing so long and paid so much, how could he be willing to give up easily? Fortunately, he now has a new ace in his hand: Zhou Jingyuan, And what she has, the "Life and Death Book" with mysterious power. She got engaged with Zhou Jingyuan, drove Chen Jun away, and had a quarrel with Di Renjie... Chen Huai burned his boats and rushed forward with a tough bullet. Next, she would use the "Life and Death Book" to make a good work. Zhou Liangkun once revealed the inside story of the "Life and Death Book" to him. Chen Huai knew the value of such a thing, and using it would definitely win the support of the most powerful figures in the court. Whether it was Li, Wu or Er Zhang, any faction would attach great importance to the "Life and Death Book". Of course, it is extremely risky to plot against tigers. Zhou Liangkun's tragic death is a lesson for the past. Chen Huai hesitated for a while and had not yet thought of a strategy for action, but unexpectedly others had already taken the lead.

"General Chen Huai!" A low cry cut through the mist in his mind, causing Chen Huai's whole body to tense. He instinctively replied: "Who calls me?!" The sword was unsheathed in an instant, and the tip of the sword was still trembling. However, in the flash, Chen Huai was already sweating all over, and he didn't realize that someone was approaching in his contemplation. If the other party was at ease to kill him, he would have been corpses everywhere in the red leaves.

In four directions outside the Jiao Pavilion, in the red-leaf forests from east, west, south and north, a team of warriors in black clothes and black scarfs stood up at the same time, surrounding Jiao Pavilion tightly. Chen Huai tried to calm down and sneered: "Langlang Qiankun, don't you be afraid of being too conspicuous in dressing up like this?" Facing the team of black men standing on him, the person in the middle spoke slowly: "Langlang Qiankun is right, but it seems to have nothing to do with General Chen Huai. To be honest, we were all the people."

"All the way, you and I are all the way?" Chen Huai wanted to laugh to the sky, but unfortunately she couldn't suffocate the momentum. She knew that the other party had no intention of killing people for the time being, so she said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, just say something, what do you want to do when you ask me here?!" The man in black had a smile on his mouth and nose covered by the soap scarf, as if there was a puppy in front of him who was teasing him: "I heard that General Chen has always been very well-educated, but this is not the case today. It seems that Lord Di Renjie's ability to train people is very average, very ordinary..." Chen Huai put his sword across: "Is there anything wrong? Otherwise, Chen Huai will leave here!" As he spoke, he raised his feet and stepped out of the jiao Pavilion.

There was no answer, only the red leaves and yellow grass danced slightly, as if ripples were swaying. In the blink of an eye, the men in black gathered in front of Chen Huai to block the way. The blue veins on Chen Huai's forehead swelled up. It turned out that the person who came was not good, and he probably couldn't get out easily today. He gritted his teeth and asked again: "What do you want to do?!"

"I want to ask you for something!" The voice was gloomy, as if it was an echo from the underground: "Life and Death...Life and Death..." The cold air rushed straight to Chen Huai's forehead. He looked forward. The man in black seemed to have increased exponentially, blocking the gorgeous scenery of the red leaves all over the mountains. The dark and dead aura covered the sky and made the sun dim.
