Night always comes very quickly. After the mutiny last night, another night came. Ordinary people naturally continue to live according to their previous lifestyle, and the restaurants and brothels in Xichun County are still singing and dancing, and no one noticed the undercurrents in Xichun City.

Of course, few people can see the truth in the row of small houses in the backyard of the county government.

This is a not-so-large courtyard. Green bamboo is planted in the yard. It is spring and the bamboo in the courtyard is green. The night breeze blows and the bamboo fragrance blew, making the originally solemn county government full of elegant smell.

This place is usually a place where the county magistrate rests, but now in the houses in this courtyard, there are officials from the Ministry of Personnel under house arrest.

Although the city guards controlled the county government, Su Keyong and others were not ordinary people after all. They were all well-known officials of the Yanjing Ministry of Personnel. It is absolutely impossible to detain them in prison.

Around the houses on the west side, there are city guards with distinctive armor and soldiers, spears and swords, which are extremely strict. In these houses, officials of the Ministry of Personnel and their entourages were placed under house arrest.

Su Keyong was placed under house arrest alone in an elegant house on the east side. This house was the place where the county magistrate usually had lunch breaks. In order to make it clean, there were no other houses around, and it was a single door and a single family, which was extremely quiet, and the house was surrounded by green bamboos.

Bamboo is an elegant and clean plant, so many people like to decorate the surface with it. It seems that with these bamboos surrounding it, you can become elegant and solar.

Artistic people are probably so ridiculous.

The lights were lit in the house, and the candlelight on the white candle was beating. Two white candles were inserted on the candlesticks, one on the left and the other on the right was next to the ancient wood and fragrant window. The window was pushed by a thin bamboo pole, and the wind outside slipped in through the gaps in the window, carrying the bamboo fragrance, which was refreshing.

On the side of the candlestick, there is a small table, square, with a few exquisite and delicious side dishes on the table, and a pot of wine, two wine glasses, one on the left and one on the right, placed opposite.

Two people sat opposite each other on the table.

...

"Brother Su, I have long wanted to have a drink with you, but unfortunately I have never had that opportunity. Today I will finally drink with you at the same table. I have a long-cherished wish, and I am so lucky!" The white and fat He Xuezhi smiled and squinted his eyes, looking at Su Keyong opposite him.

Su Keyong had already left the stretcher and sat on a bamboo chair. His physical injuries naturally did not recover. He just leaned on the chair. His pale face seemed very calm at this time, with only those pairs of eyes showing a resentful look.

"Brother Su, I'm going to tell you, in fact, in my heart, I respect your character very much." He Xuezhi said leisurely: "You have been in the Ministry of Personnel for so many years, and are responsible for selecting officials to remove the drought and preserve the essence. You really select a group of capable officials. You have made contributions to the country. The entire Yan State should thank you!"

Su Keyong's eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything.

He Xuezhi reached out and lifted the chopsticks, pointed to the dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "You have also seen that every delicacy on this table is what you like to eat on weekdays. I have also spent some effort to figure out your taste... You have to eat a few bites, so that my efforts will not be wasted!"

Su Keyong's lips squirmed and finally said, "He Xuezhi, is Han Mo already dead in your hands?"

He Xuezhi narrowed his eyes even more, and he laughed without being shocked, "Why did Brother Su say this?"

"If Han Mo is not dead, you dare not be so unscrupulous." Su Keyong said coldly: "Since you dare to mobilize the city guards to the county government, you are confident... What you are concerned about is Han Mo. Only when he dies will you dare to let go like this. Otherwise... With that boy Han Mo's temperament, you are so lawless and will only give him a chance to kill you!"

He Xuezhi laughed and said, "I don't like to listen to Brother Su's words. Is He Xuezhi afraid of him?"

"Why do you say such self-deception at this time? If you are not afraid of him, you will not wait until now to kill me." Su Keyong sneered coldly: "Han Mo is too young after all. Although he is very scheming and his methods are decisive and savvy, he is not as good as your cunning... Young people always have to pay a price for doing things, but... the price he paid this time is too heavy!" Speaking of this, the upright official sighed, as if he was regretting Han Mo's murder.

He Xuezhi smiled and said, "Jiang is still so spicy... I have said this a long time ago, but it's a pity... there are not many people who really understand the meaning!"

Su Keyong was silent, closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he opened his eyes and stared at He Xuezhi and asked: "How did you kill him? It is not easy to avoid the eyes of the dark official and kill Han Mo, who is already very skilled in martial arts. You should know that even if you have the ability to kill him, it is not easy to do so without leaving any clues and not getting a little bit of aura... Han Mo has been guarding against you and should not give you such a chance, but you can do it. It seems that I have always underestimated you!"

He Xuezhi laughed and said, "I am always easy to be ignored. As for how to kill him, it is not a difficult thing for me. As you said, although young people are passionate, they are too arrogant and always have a despicable flaw... We old people, to defeat young people, just take advantage of their flaws? The road to growth of young people always has to pay a lot of money to gain experience in being a person and doing things... But Han Mo is playing politics and playing power struggles, but he doesn't understand that the price paid by this kind of game is far from comparable to other games, because the price of this kind of game is sometimes life...!"

Speaking of this, He Xuezhi picked up his wine cup and raised his glass and said, "Brother Su, it's late at night. Should you and I drink a glass of each other to increase our interest?"

Su Keyong glanced at the wine cup in front of him, and smiled coldly, "Do you just want to poison me with this glass of wine?"

He Xuezhi narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face disappeared, slowly put down the wine cup, and sighed softly: "Brother Su, I always thought that if a person wants to live a comfortable life, don't be too smart." After a pause, he continued: "If you are stupid, you will treat it as enjoying the drink. In this way, you will have a good night's sleep and stay away from the disputes in the world from now on. Wouldn't that be a good thing? In order to choose the medicine that is most suitable for you, I took great pains to choose this "Eternal Drunk" and will be drunk forever and never wake up again..."

The candlelight was beating, and the two looked at each other. He Xuezhi's eyes were cruel and Su Keyong's eyes were resentful.

At this moment, there is no need to hide anything.

The picture is revealed, and now it is time to showdown.

There was a silence, and even the sound of wind overflowing from outside could be heard. After a long time, Su Keyong's laughter broke the silence.

Su Keyong's laughter was very strange. He Xuezhi heard it and felt uncomfortable all over his body, just like many insects crawling around on his body.

"He Xuezhi, I really want to admire your courage today." Su Keyong stopped his smile and said lightly: "You kill Han Mo first, then kill me. Do you really think that the Han and Su families are families that are at slaughter? Do you really think that no one found out that our death is related to you?"

He Xuezhi's strange smile returned to his face: "Absolutely not. Because I arranged everything well, your death has nothing to do with me, it's just that you committed suicide in fear of sin!"

"I committed suicide for fear of sin?"

"Although the reason for death is really bad, but after thinking about it, this is the only one that suits you." He Xuezhi smiled and said, "I said, I admire your temperament and like your temperament, and your temperament has helped me. Su Guanya knew that you were an impulsive and irritable person, but he still sent you over. When you stepped onto the ground in Yichun, I knew that Su Guanya sent you here not to ask you to investigate any fraud, but to send you to die. Su Guanya wanted you to anger me, and then let me kill me in anger

You, in this way, you will be in the mind of Su Guanya, so that the dark officials will get the evidence that I killed you, and look back to deal with our He family. If my temperament is still the same as in Yanjing, I am afraid that I will really kill you, Su Guanya's calculation will be really successful. But... in the past few years, I have been cultivating and resting in Yichun, and suddenly I have understood many truths and thought of many things. There is one thing I think the most, that is...!" He stared at Su Keyong and said slowly: "Sometimes, it is much more useful to leave someone than kill someone!"

Su Keyong's expression was ugly. He wanted to hold his fists, but he felt that his hands didn't have much strength.

"Although I wanted to kill you many times, I finally held it back. And you, Lord Su, did not disappoint me. You are fully demonstrating your irritability and your anger... Force He Da to death, arrested Yichun officials on a large scale, and tortured and confessed... Now everyone in Yichun knows that you, Lord Su, are a violent official, and you prove this with your actual actions...!" He Xuezhi laughed: "Your restlessness, your jumping up and down, your arrogance, and your arrogance have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of all officials in Yichun, and even the common people know that you, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, have made Yichun County smoky... If Su Shangshu knew that this was the case, I think he would not send you here!"

Su Keyong listened to He Xuezhi's soft voice, and the words were the most vicious words in the world, cursing himself. Every word was like a sharp sword piercing into his heart.

He felt a little chill all over his body, and he also understood more that He Xuezhi in front of him was even more sinister and cunning than he thought!
