Volume 4: The Case of Dust in the Mirror Chapter 104: Peace
"This..." After hearing Duan Ming's words, Dong Lao was stunned and immediately shook his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Why?" Duan Ming looked at Dong Lao and asked in a deep voice.
"No reason, it's absolutely impossible!" Dong Lao said with great conviction.
"So, is there such a possibility?" Duan Ming said again: "It is indeed not Lao Xing who created the voodoo villain, but you."
"It was you who colluded with Dugu Haoyue and joined forces to frame Lao Xing! It was you who entered Lao Xing's bedroom, which no one else could enter! It was you who wanted to kill Lao Xing in the end!"
"This, I..." Dong Lao was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought that Duan Ming would say this.
Suddenly, Dong Lao gritted his teeth and shouted: "Yes, it's me, I did everything!"
"So." After a pause, Mr. Dong continued: "I admit it. Take me away and kill me!"
"..." Duan Ming stared at Dong Lao's eyes for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "I know, it's not you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I did it!" Dong Lao's eyes showed a pleading look: "I don't know who you are, but I believe you must be good friends with the young master. I did it, voodoo
I was the one who released the villain!"
"I am already over 60 years old, and it is not a pity to die!" Mr. Dong's voice was choked with sobs: "Please..."
"No, you didn't do it. You just wanted to take all the blame on yourself." Duan Ming said and stood up slowly: "I really doubted you just now, but now, I believe it is definitely not you.
Made it!”
"You..." Dong Lao grabbed Duan Ming's collar, veins popped out on the back of his hand: "It's really me!"
"Dong Lao." Duan Ming looked into Dong Lao's eyes and said solemnly: "I am indeed Lao Xing's friend, but I don't have any power now. I am not the official responsible for this matter. All investigations are private.
It’s going on. So, it’s useless even if you try to coerce me.”
"..." Dong Lao's body continued to tremble. He could understand the meaning of Duan Ming's words and weakly let go of his hand.
"Dong Lao." Duan Ming patted Dong Lao on the shoulder: "But don't worry, I will do my best to clear Lao Xing's name."
After saying that, Duan Ming walked outside.
Just when Duan Ming was about to walk out, he suddenly stopped and did not look back. Instead, he said calmly: "Also, Mr. Dong, don't think about doing the stupid thing like just now. The people who arranged this time are beyond your control."
If you take away your imagination, it will do no good except getting yourself involved."
"Besides, even if it can succeed." Duan Ming said solemnly: "If Lao Xing really did this, you go and take the blame for him, and I won't say anything. But if Lao Xing didn't do it, why should you take the blame?
That evil man takes the blame?"
"If I lose you, to Lao Xing, what's the difference from death?"
After the words fell, Duan Ming left directly.
Walking on the spacious road in the capital, this is indeed the most prosperous and prosperous place in Daqi. Every plant and tree under the emperor's feet is very particular.
Since the New Year had just passed, the ground was covered with firecracker debris and looked like a red carpet, which was soft when stepped on.
There is a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, and various lanterns are hung on both sides of the road. It looks very bright even in the daytime.
Pedestrians on the road looked very happy. Children in red coats jumped up and down the street, weaving in and out of the crowd, and bursts of laughter.
Duan Ming looked at everything in front of him. Although Da Qi was not a prosperous age and was far less "unparalleled" than the Tang Dynasty in history, it was still peaceful.
In fact, such peace did not last for many years. According to Duan Ming's understanding, when the emperor first ascended the throne, the world was in danger, vassals all over the country were in chaos, foreign neighbors were watching with eager eyes, and the situation was precarious due to internal and external troubles.
In order to achieve the peace we have today, countless people died in foreign countries and on battlefields.
Therefore, although Duan Ming had no intention of becoming an official in the court, he was not willing to bear the life of accompanying a king like a tiger, and he was not willing to delay his research on the longevity rune.
However, Duan Ming did not want this rare peaceful age to be burned down like this.
Duan Ming understands this truth better than anyone else.
It is precisely because of this that although Duan Ming came here this time partly because of his relationship with Xing Qianqiu, part of the reason was also for himself.
Only when the world is peaceful can he have enough time to study the longevity runes, and he can not worry about any changes.
And this time Xing Qianqiu was framed and imprisoned. Needless to say, the other party must have something up his sleeve.
Among them, the most likely one is that the Immortality Sect and Dugu Haoyue conspired to gain power over the Mirror Division!
Along the way, Duan Ming saw a lot and thought a lot.
Before, whether in the prison or in the prison, Duan Ming vowed that he would be able to crack the case and clear Xing Qianqiu's name.
But Duan Ming knew most clearly in his heart that these words were not meant to be spoken to others, but to himself.
He must succeed!
Soon, Duan Ming returned to Jing'an Palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Xu Fu, the steward of Jing'an Palace.
Xu Fu told Duan Ming that King Jing'an was looking for him and had been waiting in the study for a long time.
Duan Ming was surprised and didn't understand why King Jing'an was looking for him at this time, but he went anyway.
When he came to the study, King Jing'an was writing. Duan Ming did not disturb him, but watched quietly behind him.
King Jing'an holds the pen as if he is holding a sword, and his handwriting is flying and flying. Every ink mark seems to be deeply carved into the paper, as if carved into the desk under the paper.
Soon, King Jing'an put away his pen, and there was already an extra word "loyalty" on the white paper that was as white as snow outside!
"Mr. Duan, you are here." Putting down his pen, King Jing'an turned to Duan Ming and said with a smile: "What do you think of this word?"
"The writing is profound and extraordinary." Duan Ming thought for a while and said.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." King Jing'an said with a smile, then walked to a chair nearby and sat down, and then said: "Mr. Duan, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Duan Ming was not polite and sat down directly on the ground.
"Mr. Duan, what do you mean?" King Jing'an was stunned and asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty asked Duan to sit down, but he didn't tell him where to sit, so he just sat here." Duan Ming replied with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Duan is a wonderful man." King Jing'an pointed to the seat next to him: "The ground is cold, Mr. Duan, please take a seat."
"Okay." Duan Ming stood up slowly, came to sit next to King Jing'an.
"Mr. Duan, you are a smart man." As soon as Duan Ming took his seat, King Jing'an asked in a deep voice: "Many people say that I want to rebel. What do you think?"
