With the sound of the iron door creaking open, Xiao Chen walked into Liao Xianghe's cell again.
Looking at Liao Xianghe, who was standing like a wooden stake as always, Xiao Chen also stood quietly on the spot.
In the cell, the flames in the lamp basins on the walls flickered and danced, flickering on and off, just like the human heart, hard to fathom.
After a long time, Liao Xianghe slowly turned around, with a faint smile on his sallow face.
"I know you will definitely come."
"Really? What if I didn't come?"
"No, you will definitely come." Liao Xianghe said with confidence on his face: "I have never misjudged anyone."
Xiao Chen took a few steps forward and looked at Liao Xianghe's sallow and calm face quietly.
"I know that you are using your life to cover up an unknown conspiracy, just like Huang Anliang did not hesitate to sacrifice his own people to protect you. I want to know, what kind of faith is supporting you?
"
Liao Xianghe was startled, and then a smile broke out on his face: "I don't know how to talk about this, and you won't understand it if I say it."
"Perhaps, I will understand." Xiao Chen's eyes stared at the other person closely, and his calm tone made his gaze look even deeper.
Looking at Xiao Chen quietly, Liao Xianghe's arrogant eyes were mixed with a little softness. He did not answer Xiao Chen directly, but changed the topic.
"I have been working as an errand in Beizhen Fusi for more than ten years. There are countless major and important cases that have passed through my hands. No matter how high their position is, as long as they enter the prison of Beizhen Fusi, they will also
He is only worthy of being a stepping stone under my feet. Even the lofty Emperor Ming, in my eyes, is just the highest ruler of the Ming Dynasty."
The corners of Liao Xianghe's mouth were slightly raised, and his dark eyes made it difficult to see what he was going to say.
Xiao Chen was speechless. Faced with such a person who completely despised everything around him, all he could do was wait for the next step.
"In my life, I have only had two attitudes toward people, one is admiration, and the other is use. I don't want to talk about this admiration, but I don't want to say this use. No one around me, I am not using them. However,
In my current mood, there is another kind of envy and jealousy."
Liao Xianghe stopped and looked at Xiao Chen with calm, yet profound eyes.
"You used the power given to you by the emperor to do what you wanted to do. You took advantage of the factory owner's eagerness for success and once again concealed the real conspiracy behind you. You have a really thorough understanding of human nature." Xiao
Chen smiled faintly and spoke in a calm tone, as if he had met a friend who had been with him for many years, without the slightest trace of interrogating a criminal.
"My mistake is not that I see human nature thoroughly, but that I am not blinded by interests and power like others. If a person no longer considers his own interests, then everything in the world will be in his hands.
Everything is transparent in front of me." Liao Xianghe said softly, with a rare hint of pride on his face.
"Do you want to say that you are great?" Xiao Chen said coldly.
No matter how rich a person is, as long as he starts to praise himself intentionally or unintentionally, he has been blinded by the so-called pride.
At this time, pouring some cold water on the situation may cause the other party to argue.
It is difficult to deal with a silent person. But it is much easier to deal with a person who boasts and talks, no matter how rigorous his logical thinking is.
Liao Xianghe shook his head and moved his steps casually. The sleeve without his left arm cast a long shadow under the light of the lamp basin on the wall.
"A person who kills people like hemp and treats prisoners ruthlessly is not appropriate to describe as great. I am just a chess piece abandoned in the world, just doing what I should do." Liao Xianghe said.
"Chess pieces? You are all chess pieces, so how powerful must the person behind you be?" Xiao Chen laughed.
"Are you not a chess piece? Everyone in this world is a chess piece. It's just that the chessboard they are on is different." Liao Xianghe said.
Yes, why am I not just a chess piece?
Leading the captain of Dongchang, he looked for clues in each case without hesitation. He was just a chess piece of Dongchang and the emperor.
However, even if everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty is a chess piece, some chess pieces still do what they want to do and follow their own principles of life.
Even chess pieces are fundamentally different.
As for you, you have to be the chess piece that follows your own heart.
"Master Liao, you and I are both chess pieces. I just want to know who you are playing this game of chess for?" Xiao Chen took a step forward and looked at Liao Xianghe in front of him calmly.
I have to say that this person's scheming is the most terrifying thing I have ever encountered. A "chess piece" almost made me accept my fate.
"Hahaha..." Liao Xianghe laughed loudly.
"Your reaction is beyond my expectation. As I said just now, a new emotion has appeared in my emotions that have not changed in decades, and that is envy and jealousy."
"I know that you hate God for being unfair. How could there be someone in Dongchang who still pursues you even after he has already signed the contract?" Xiao Chen said coldly.
"No, I'm just jealous, not hateful." Liao Xianghe smiled faintly, "I'm jealous of Dongchang's luck. An ordinary captain who was randomly recruited from Jinyiwei not only has extraordinary skills, but also has a mature mind that is very inconsistent with his age.
"
"Yes, I have been working in Jinyiwei for many years, and I am also a junior captain of Fusi in Beizhen. The reason why I have not tried my best in Jinyiwei is that I can't stand your complicity and cruelty." Xiao Chen said coldly.
"Cruel and ruthless? How can you be equally cruel and ruthless? Are your methods of killing my dead soldier a kind of kindness?" Looking at Xiao Chen, Liao Xianghe was not angry. On the contrary, there was a smile on his face.
"In addition to being cruel and ruthless, is there any other choice to treat the enemy?"
"Hahaha, who of the people I deal with is not my enemy? After all, we are the same kind of people. The difference is that you are shouldering another mission."
"You are you, and I am me. Don't say that you and I are the same kind of people." Xiao Chen shouted loudly.
I disdain to be put in the same category as a person who has gone to great lengths to plan a big and shady conspiracy.
"Really?" Liao Xianghe smiled softly.
His body suddenly rose from the ground, and his right hand turned into a palm, and like lightning, it struck the hair on the back of Xiao Chen's head. In the blink of an eye, he was back to where he was standing just now.
A strand of long black hair slowly fell to the ground under the firelight.
