【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

On the way back to the secret pavilion, Yuan Zhongxin looked indifferent and remained silent, staring at a certain place for a moment, thinking about everything, suddenly, he said to himself, "Don't you think An Lijiu is very similar to you?" Are you alone?"

Zhao Jian and Xiao Jing immediately cast their eyes on Yuan Zhongxin, with puzzled faces, but Wang Kuan kept staring at him with a slight frown, his eyes changing unpredictably.

Xiao Jing asked, "Brother Yuan, who does Brother An look like?"

Yuan Zhongxin smiled faintly, raised his eyes to look at Xiaojing, and said with a normal expression: "It's nothing, I'm just talking nonsense."

After getting off the carriage, as soon as the four of them entered the secret pavilion, the wooden steward ran up to them in a panic, panting, unable to catch his breath, and before he could say hello, he hurriedly said: "Wei... Wei Young master, we have quarreled with the head of the courtyard!"

The four of them looked at each other, suddenly feeling bad, and hurried to Lu Guannian's study, before entering the door, they heard Wei Yanei's angry voice inside: "It is agreed that we will investigate the Anlijiu incident at Qizhai. You didn't find anything in a while, and you are so anxious to close the case?!"

Yuan Zhongxin pushed the door open, the door slammed into the wall, and there were two loud bangs, which shocked all the people in the study. Yuan Zhongxin glanced at the people in the study with a rather unkind expression. There was Wei Yanei, Lu Guannian, and a middle-aged man in armor and holding a long sword, with rigid faces, not angry and pretentious.

Seeing that the four of them had returned, Wei Yanei hurriedly stepped in front of Yuan Zhongxin, and said anxiously: "Yuan Zhongxin, think of a way quickly, the imperial army will sentence Brother An!"

Yuan Zhongxin remained silent, and gave Wei Yanei a wink, telling him to calm down first.

Lu Guannian's eyesight was excellent, and he knew that Yuan Zhongxin's heart was suppressed, so he sighed secretly, but his face remained calm: "You guys are back, let me introduce you, this is Chang Yi Chang Dutou, who belongs to the front of the palace. The Jilin army under Si's command is at the same level as Liang Zhu, you can just call him Chang Dutou."

While Yuan Zhongxin and the others were looking at Chang Yi, Chang Yi was also scanning them with disdain.

Yuan Zhongxin didn't bother to talk to him, so he looked straight at Lu Guannian and asked, "What's going on here?"

Chang Yi frowned slightly, squinted her eyes, snorted coldly, and reprimanded in a strange voice: "Sure enough, I grew up in Noma, and I have never had half a courtesy in my heart. I don't know much about solving crimes, but I am quite good at following criminals. "

Wang Kuan squinted his eyes, his face gradually froze, and he became angry, and he was about to fight back, but was stopped by Yuan Zhongxin.

Yuan Zhongxin sneered indifferently, and the coldness in his eyes came quietly: "Chang Dutou, right? Now that the Anlijiu incident has involved the frontier military defense, the real source of Wushisan has not yet been found out. Who is behind the scenes? No one has the slightest clue—this is an urgent situation, if you still have to worry about etiquette here, why don’t you directly report it to the current Holy One and let him judge whether the drug issue is important or the etiquette issue is more important?"

Chang Yi stared angrily, and her fingers trembled slightly with anger: "How dare you bring out the current sage to suppress me?"

Yuan Zhongxin squinted his eyes, and responded coldly: "The current emperor is not a person, and when he is the emperor, he often says "move" so easily. Do you think that the current emperor is not a person?"

Chang Yi was speechless at the end, furious, with a ferocious face, seeing that posture, almost wanted to draw his sword and charge towards Yuan Zhongxin.

Wang Kuan and the others all looked alert, and surrounded Yuan Zhongxin one by one, with slightly angry and cold expressions.

Lu Guannian frowned tightly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Stop arguing - the forbidden army decided internally to bring An Lijiu to justice for the crime of smuggling and selling drugs. beheading."

Hearing this, everyone looked terrified and couldn't believe it.

Yuan Zhongxin narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Guannian, what did you promise me?"

Lu Guannian, who was called by Yuan Zhongxin's name directly, had his heart pounding, but he had no choice. He clenched his fists and tightened his hands on his knees, took a deep breath secretly, and said calmly, "This matter is over, Qi Zhai There is no need to investigate further, the Imperial Army has its own decision."

Yuan Zhongxin sneered, the laughter was full of ice scum, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Lu Guannian was helpless in his heart. He looked directly at Yuan Zhongxin who was covered in cold air, and he couldn't speak hard no matter what: "You write the mission report today and hand it to Chang Dutou to bring it back. So far, the Secret Pavilion and Anli Jiuyi case, it has nothing to do with it."

Zhao Jian looked angrily at Lu Guannian, extremely dissatisfied, stepped forward and said coldly: "Headmaster, we have only investigated the matter of Wushi San for less than two days, and we have not found out all the important details, so we suddenly said that the case is closed, It can easily lead to unjust, false and wrongly decided cases!"

Chang Yi snorted mockingly, with a look of disdain, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said: "That can only show that you are not capable enough, and you followed the wrong person when investigating the case. I think it took us less than two days for the Imperial Army to arrest people. Time, people have already caught it for you, and there are many excuses if you can't find out the truth."

Wei Yanei was trembling with anger, burning with rage: "You are simply making excuses! There are so many questions to be investigated during the interrogation process, two days is not enough!"

Chang Yi sneered: "I think it's all because of your rhetoric and ineffectiveness in doing things."

Wang Kuan's expression was as cold as ice, and he stared at Chang Yi with murderous aura in his eyes.

Yuan Zhongxin, who didn't say a word, pursed his lips tightly, and quickly took out the case book that Lu Guannian gave him last night from his arms. That thin case book had been folded by Yuan Zhongxin countless times. There are many wrinkles now, and he spreads it flat on his hands.

In the next second, Yuan Zhongxin tore the case book into pieces, his eyes were indifferent, and his movements were slow.

This action of his shocked everyone present, except Wang Kuan, who looked at him deeply as always, as if it was only natural for Yuan Zhongxin to kill Chang Yi on the spot.

Chang Yi's face was livid, and he shouted sharply: "Yuan Zhongxin! What are you doing!"

Lu Guannian looked at Yuan Zhongxin with complicated eyes, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

Yuan Zhongxin casually threw the crumb-like case book into the hot furnace burning with black charcoal. In less than a moment, the shredded paper immediately burned into a pile of ashes. Said: "I have already burned this case book to him, whoever wants to write it, let's do it."

It is self-evident what Yuan Zhongxin's action means to burn things that are given to the dead.

Chang Yi glared angrily at Yuan Zhongxin, who was calm and composed. His originally ferocious face looked even more ferocious under the background of anger. He moved his hand holding the sword, gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Zhongxin, you You are looking for your own death!"

Sensing Chang Yi's intentions, Wang Kuan moved his body slightly, and stood in front of Yuan Zhongxin. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Chang Yi with a murderous intent: "Chang Dutou is so unreasonable and hard to tell right from wrong. It is you who seek death."

Chang Yi's eyes turned sharp, and he approached Yuan Zhongxin behind Wang Kuan. He glanced coldly at the people in the study. Although Lu Guannian looked complicated, he had no intention of opposing Yuan Zhongxin. Chang Yi snorted heavily. , angrily turned and left the study.

Looking at Chang Yi's back, Lu Guannian sighed heavily: "Yuan Zhongxin, you really got into trouble this time."

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows and did not answer.

Wang Kuan was angry, and he asked coldly: "Director Lu, you once promised us that if we want us to complete the task, we must inform you in advance of the situation you know. You have made a mistake in Qinghe Town, and now you are doing this again. , and blame Yuan Zhongxin instead?"

Zhao Jian and the others didn't speak, obviously agreeing with Wang Kuan's words.

Lu Guannian rubbed his brows wearily, leaned back against the wooden chair, and said after a long while, "Go back first, Yuan Zhongxin, you come to the study to find me tonight."

Wang Kuan and the others looked terrified, it was not them that Lu Guannian wanted to see, but Yuan Zhongxin alone.

Yuan Zhongxin didn't care, nodded, and returned to the hippie smiling Yuan Zhongxin, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll inform you when I come back—let's go, eat tofu nao, I'll treat you."

The four were helpless, sighed, turned around and followed Yuan Zhongxin out of the study.

When he arrived at the canteen of Qizhai, Yuan Zhongxin ordered four bowls of tofu nao. He knew that Wang Kuan would not eat it, so he ordered a cup of scented tea for him instead.

Wei Yanei was full of worries, eating tofu nao was very uncomfortable: "There are still four days, what should I do!"

Yuan Zhongxin was stirring the porcelain bowl casually with a spoon in his hand, thoughtfully.

Zhao Jian also had a frowning face: "The problem is still with An Lijiu. He doesn't say anything, and we have no direction to search at all."

Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of fresh and sweet tofu nao, and said, "Now that the Imperial Army has intervened in our investigation, it is really difficult."

Speaking of the imperial army, Wei Yanei reached out and touched Yuan Zhongxin who was in a daze: "Hey, Chang Yi was so angry just now, aren't you afraid that he will turn around and find someone to deal with you?"

Wang Kuan silently raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Zhongxin, and said indifferently, his tone was full of warning: "Dare he?"

The three of Wei Yanei were at a loss for words.

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows, folded his arms calmly and said, "What I want is for Chang Yi to be so angry that his mind goes blank, and to sue someone."

Zhao Jian shook his head dully: "Yuan Zhongxin, I think An Lijiu is not the only one who wants to go to heaven, and you have to be counted."
