Twilight Ghost

Just like what Lin Chuchen said, soon Lin Huizhong became Hua Chongming's next task target. Cheng Wangan was afraid that he would be emotional and wanted to replace him with someone else, but within three days, the person who was arranged to act died in Hua Chongming hand.

"His Royal Highness, I don't think anyone in this world is better suited to do this kind of thing than me."

Cheng Wang'an looked at the corpse lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "I didn't expect your martial arts to improve so fast in this period of time. This is my carefully selected secret envoy, and you ended up with one knife."

Hua Chongming smiled, wiped off the blood on his hands, and said in a negotiating tone: "If His Royal Highness wants to try my martial arts again, you can send a more powerful character to fight, I don't mind doing it again—of course, it's unnecessary His sacrifice is not a good thing for anyone, so Your Highness, haven't you decided to trust me yet?"

"I have fought against Lin Chuchen. His martial arts are unfathomable, and he is a difficult character to deal with. If I want to get rid of his father, he will definitely go out and confront him head-on. You may not be able to win against him."

Hua Chongming smiled even more presumptuously, raised the glass of wine on the table, took a sip, raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, a dead person, no matter how powerful his martial arts is, he will not be my opponent."

An awe-inspiring chill passed over Cheng Wangan's back, and Hua Chongming in front of him was no longer the little catcher who was slaughtered by others. In the past few months, he had grown at an astonishing speed. Now, for Cheng Wangan, the biggest The threat is not those so-called henchmen of the Seventh Prince, but his own confidants.

"Okay, I'll just trust you once, don't let me down."

Hua Chongming has never missed a hand, not even once.

From arranging perjury evidence to writing a confession, he has done every step flawlessly. If this is the style of competition back then, it is no wonder that even the brutal and brutal ancient beasts have become his defeats.

Soon Lin Huizhong fell into this impenetrable net, and became a prisoner in front of Hua Chongming from a high-spirited servant of the Ministry of Justice.After removing the high hair crown and brocade clothes, he seemed to have aged a lot suddenly, with fine and dense wrinkles covering his entire face, Hua Chongming could hardly believe that this was the unsmiling old man back then. father.

"Stay safe."

"Chongming, you have grown up."

Hua Chongming sneered, pointed to the confession on the table, and said to the showdown: "You should have heard about my reputation, since you and my father were friends with each other eight times, and because you have done everything to me, I don't want to use torture. , don’t be too stubborn, justice is always in the hands of the ruler.”

To Hua Chongming's surprise, the upright Master Lin didn't make any struggles. Perhaps before sitting on this chair, he was fully prepared. At this moment, he obediently confessed to all the crimes according to Hua Chongming's wishes. To be honest, if he hadn't been extremely exhausted, and his eyes were full of bewilderment and decadence that matched his age, it would have really made Hua Chongming feel a sense of unprecedented pressure.

"Can you let them all go down, I want to talk to you."

Hua Chongming nodded, and asked the small guards around to step back quickly. There were only the two of them in the huge torture room, and even their breath had an ethereal echo.

"Chongming, I'm getting old, and I don't have anything to miss when I live up to now. Life and death are just a momentary matter, so I have no fear or regret. It's just... Chen'er, I only worry about him now, and he is not young anymore. But I'm not interested in any girl, I'm a father, and although I don't talk about it with him, I still care about it." Lin Huizhong took out a bracelet from his bosom and handed it to Hua Chongming: "I Raising you to such a big age is also fulfilling the promise to your father, now I just ask you to promise me one thing, no matter what... Leave Chen'er alive, give this to him, or, in other words, give it to me in the future Daughter-in-law."

Hua Chongming didn't take the bracelet, and said coldly: "Are you trying to bribe the imperial court official? Your crime should be executed. Even if I want to save Lin Chuchen's life, it is impossible."

"Chongming..."

"His Royal Highness is waiting for your confession. I don't have time to spend on you." Hua Chongming turned around and left the torture room. Before leaving, he looked back at Lin Huizhong for the last time. Even the tear that rolled down from the corner of the wrinkled eye made him feel as if he had passed away.

He had seen Lin Huizhong cry. A long time ago, when he was less than ten years old, the life of the Lin family was so difficult that even the family's food and clothing were a problem.

Hua Chongming vaguely remembered that Lin Chuchen was not the youngest son in the family, he also had a younger brother, who was a baby in swaddling clothes, because he was always hungry, and Mrs. Lin didn't have milk to feed him, so Lin Huizhong had no choice but to take advantage of it. In the dark of night, he was abandoned in front of a rich family.

Hua Chongming, who couldn't sleep at that time, followed secretly and hid at the base of the wall. The moment Lin Huizhong turned around, he saw a cloudy teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye through the cold moonlight.

Hua Chongming has been in a bad mood since he came back from the punishment room, but this time he didn't keep drinking himself, but sat by the window in a daze like a fool.

Bai Ze looked at the strangeness from the side, so he crept up to him and asked softly, "Is everything done?"

Hua Chongming nodded, then shook his head again, "There are still some things to be done, I have to go out for a few days... By the way, the full moon will come soon, I will leave the antidote, you take care of yourself."

"Where are you going?"

"Also, ask Cheng Wang'an to arrange more guards to guard Lin Huizhong. If Lin Chuchen comes to rob the prison, it will be a waste of time."

With so many years of companionship day and night, it is impossible for Lin Chuchen to understand Hua Chongming's martial arts. Lin Huizhong did not hesitate to invite the famous Mo Xu Laodao to teach them martial arts. He can still fight against Lin Chuchen a few tricks.

But it was useless to regret, anyway, he was at most a moving target in front of Lin Chuchen now, and he would definitely be stabbed into a honeycomb within ten moves.

Hua Chongming is not a fool, and he can't touch head-to-head, but Lin Chuchen is not unreasonable after all, he is a mortal, and if he is a mortal, he must have weaknesses.

On the way to Lin's mansion, Hua Chongming thought about it all the way. Although Lin Chuchen was strong in martial arts and superficially confident, from the bottom of his heart, he was a very cautious and prudent person. I hide in my heart and go to prison alone.What's more, with the lessons learned by Hua Chongming, he should also know the truth that it is difficult to do it alone. It has been so long since Lin Huizhong was imprisoned, but he has not moved at all. That is not giving up, but that he has already made complete preparations.

For Hua Chongming now, it's him who is out in the open and the enemy in the dark.Before convicting Lin Huizhong, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had no reason to send troops to arrest his whole family. Hua Chongming would not know about the various plans Lin Chuchen made during this period, so the best way is to pretend that he has penetrated everything and come Force him to give up resistance.

"Don't waste your efforts, they are not my opponents."

As Hua Chongming expected, just as he uttered these words, Lin Chuchen's originally calm expression suddenly showed a wave of turmoil. He tentatively asked, "How much do you know?"

Regarding Lin Chuchen's mind, Hua Chongming naturally didn't know anything about it, but mortals are mortals, and their greatest fear is not seeing despair, but not knowing how much hope they still have.Hua Chongming continued following what he said just now: "You'd better tell the whole story, those people are not my opponents."

When Hua Chongming said this, his palms were all sweaty. He had no idea what it was and who he was. These were all used to deceive Lin Chuchen, and it was a bet he mustered up his courage to make.If he guessed correctly, Lin Chuchen might give up all resistance, and if he guessed wrong, maybe he would die in the Lin Mansion today.

Sure enough, there was a slight murderous intent in Lin Chuchen's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He sighed and said with a sneer: "Forget it, I have known since I was a child that you are smart, and I can't hide anything from you. It was to bribe the jailer to save my father, but since you have seen through it, they must have died in your hands."

"Don't be sloppy with me. It's impossible for you to hire a jailer. I've already set up a defense. I change a group of guards every two hours. I think it's impossible to buy your house if you sell it all. Many people."

In fact, this is also meant to bluff people. Lin Chuchen is pure and simple. Even if he wanted to struggle, he was strangled to death by Hua Chongming's words. He completely gave up resisting and surrendered: "Master Hua is really calculating, I am not yours!" Opponent. Well, let’s make a deal. Although Lian Po is fierce, but after all, he is old, and killing a veteran who is not much time is not good for you. I will dismiss those hired killers, and you let me go Father, I am willing to die for him."

Hua Chongming bowed his head and thought for a moment, then whispered something in the ear of the subordinate who came with him, and saw that the new servant hurriedly took out a celadon bottle and handed it to Hua Chongming.

"You're right. Your father has also reached the age of retirement and returning to his hometown. It doesn't make much sense for me to kill him. It's just that the son inherits his father's career. You are not a small threat. If you trust me, drink this peacock gall." , I will move your father out of the prison unscathed and collect his body for you."

Lin Chuchen took the cold-glowing porcelain bottle, slowly pulled out the blood-red stopper at the mouth of the bottle, shook his head and smiled: "Yes, Chongming, since when did we never walk the same way again."

"Maybe we were not on the same road from the very beginning."

Indeed, you have your relatives, your support, you can cry sadly, and laugh wantonly, but for me, there is no one in this world who I can trust completely. I have been desperate since a long time ago It’s just that I’ve been lying to myself, living in the lies I’ve woven, being a hypocritical good person, until now I’ve discovered that hypocrisy is such a boring thing, even if you are as compassionate as the Buddha, You can't hide it, you don't care, the world is destroyed and the people are mourning, you don't care at all.

Hua Chongming turned around and walked away, as if nothing had happened, he said in the little servant's ear: "The coffin made of nanmu, prepared by the deputy, should be carried outside the city for burial."
