- Chapter 161 What¡¯s disturbing is his calmness
Luo Weiran's forehead was covered with sweat. He felt that it was hotter in Changchun Garden this year than in previous years.
The emperor sat cross-legged on the Tukang and read the memorial. Luo Weiran stood aside but did not raise his hand to wipe the annoying sweat. The emperor's expression didn't look like he was angry, but Luo Weiran knew that the supreme emperor in front of him rarely showed emotion or anger.
He knew what the emperor meant by calling him here. He was the one who always insisted that there was no problem with Fang Jie. The people around the emperor, except for the eunuch Su Buwei who never expressed his opinions, everyone else had more or less doubts about Fang Jie's origins, but he never believed that Fang Jie would do anything to the Great Sui Dynasty. Unfavorable people. In other words, he did not believe that Fang Jie was from the Buddhist sect.
Because he believed in Prince Zhong Yang Qi.
How much Prince Zhong Yang Qi hates people from the Buddhist sect. He knows that if Fang Jie is really Nao Shizi's Buddhist son, he has become a piece of meat under the hands of His Highness the Prince when he was in Fan Gu.
The emperor also believed in Prince Zhong Yang Qi, but he doubted everything except Prince Zhong and Dean Zhou.
It sounds contradictory, but the emperor is not confused.
Yes, Fang Jie did receive favors from Prince Zhong Yang Qi when he was in Fan Gu. The emperor also believed for a while that Fang Jie was the only descendant of Lao Qi. However, this successor appeared too suddenly. Moreover, this descendant is indeed questionable. The emperor sent people to secretly investigate Fang Jie's details a long time ago, and the answer given by Luo Weiran can be believed. The answer given by Hou Wenji is relatively conservative and can be doubted.
The latter is obviously more stable.
"Believable and doubtful" may sound uncertain, but they represent two completely different attitudes. Luo Weiran and Prince Zhong had an acquaintance and connection, and were even very close. Hou Wenji was promoted as the governor of Qingya Town after the emperor ascended the throne. He was skeptical of anyone except the emperor, including Luo Weiran and Dean Zhou.
It is precisely because of this that Hou Wenji gained His Majesty's trust.
But again, except for Prince Zhong Yang Qi and Dean Zhou, His Majesty's trust in no one is absolute. Therefore, Fang Jie seems to be destined to have this disaster.
"I remember that the answer you gave me a while ago can be trusted."
The emperor did not raise his head and spoke in a calm tone.
Luo Weiran leaned over and said, "I've been saying the same thing up to now."
This sentence seemed to interest the emperor. He put down his pen and glanced at Luo Weiran, and said two words lightly: "Reason?"
Luo Weiran sorted out his words and tried his best to make his words simple but effective: "After Dean Zhou raised his doubts about Fang Jie's physique, I did have doubts. And there is no doubt that his physique is indeed the same as the rumored one. The Buddha is very similar. But I have never met the Buddha, so I dare not say for sure. Many people have said that Fang Jie is a smart man. Because of this, I really can't imagine such a smart man. Why did you come all the way to Chang'an City to die?"
"What I want is not your defense for him, but the truth."
The emperor leaned back and shook his neck back and forth: "You are the commander of the Ouchi Guards. Logically speaking, you should not have such absolute trust in anyone. And it is precisely because you are the commander of the Ouchi Guards. Commander, I should believe youbut don't I understand what you said before? No one can be sure that Fang Jie is not a disciple of the Buddha, and who can be sure that Fang Jie is not a disciple of the Buddha? ?¡±
"I want this answer, so I secretly asked you to check it out. I gave it to Fang Jie and he will never get the honor with his own abilities. Do you think that I want to destroy this miracle with my own hands? I remember that not long ago, I was right You said that Emperor Taizong held up Li Xiao, my grandfather Emperor Zhenzong held up Huai Qiu Gong, and I also want to hold up a model This model is not a flash in the pan, my original intention is to make him glorious for a lifetime. "
"But when Dean Zhou questions, I have to listen."
Luo Weiran lowered his head and said, "I dare not not listen to Dean Zhou's doubts."
"The Yanwu Academy failed a bit this time. Three students died This is something I didn't expect. The reason why Mo Wanwan took Fang Jie into Banyue Mountain alone was because he didn't want to involve other students. But Unexpectedly, it was not Fang Jie who attracted the Buddhist man, but the students."
Luo Weiran said while sorting out his thoughts: "If Fang Jie is really a disciple of the Buddha Sect, then why did the people of the Buddha Sect kill those students? Logically speaking, they should probably see Fang Jie first and kill Mo Wanwan . What¡¯s even more puzzling is that the young monk wanted to kill Fang Jie more than once, but ended up dying in Fang Jie¡¯s hands. If they were from the same sect, why??¡±
The emperor pondered for a while and asked: "But Li Nan told me that that wise old monk captured Fang Jie that day. If he wanted to kill Fang Jie, no one could have saved him at that time. But the old monk didn't kill him, why? ?¡±
Luo Weiran said: "Because of this, I am even more convinced that Fang Jie is innocent."
"speak"
The emperor waved his hand and said.
"If Fang Jie came to Chang'an City with a mission of unknown purpose, then what does he need most?"
Luo Weiran said: "It's safety, it's the best way to hide your identity. But obviously, Fang Jie didn't hide the fact that his physique was different from ordinary people from the beginning. If this is the most prominent feature of the Buddha's identity, then why did he Not covering up? Also, the old monk Zhizhi captured Fang Jie but didn¡¯t kill him. If Li Nan thinks it¡¯s suspicious, then I think there¡¯s something even more suspicious!¡±
"If Fang Jie is really a disciple of Buddha, and as the Second Heavenly Lord of the Buddha Sect, doesn't Wisdom know about it? If he knew about it, why did he arrest Fang Jie instead of arresting others? Isn't this suspicious if Fang Jie is caught but not killed? He is really a disciple of Buddha, so if Wisdom does this, doesn¡¯t he betray him?¡±
"I have thought of all these."
The emperor got down from the Tukang, stretched his body and sighed slightly: "But can you deny that people from the Buddhist sect came after Fang Jie arrived in Chang'an. In the hundred years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, no one from the Buddhist sect has ever dared to be so presumptuous. ! If you say this has nothing to do with Fang Jie, how can I believe it? Again, what I want is not any speculation, but the truth."
He was stretching his body while talking. Perhaps he didn't even notice it. Fang Jie taught him these movements.
And just because he saw the emperor's unintentional move, Luo Weiran felt happy.
Fang Jie can¡¯t die!
¡¡

Ouchi Guards Office
The chains on Fang Jie's body had been opened, and leaving the cold stone bed made him feel a little more comfortable. The pain in my right arm and chest has eased a lot, at least I don't sweat when I touch it. Fang Jie, who left the stone bed, was surprisingly calm. He didn't shout, curse, struggle, or resist. He even looked at all the torture instruments hanging on the walls of the stone room with great interest.
He was still in the mood to take one off and study how to use it. He gestured with the nail-pulling pliers on his hand, and he even grinned to match his movements.
So when Qiu Yu walked into this stone room and saw Fang Jie, he had to be surprised. Even she was a little puzzled that in such an environment and after the sudden change, this young man could still act so calm. He was even very relaxed, and there was no trace of worry about his life or death on his face.
"Sir, you are here."
Fang Jie smiled and greeted Qiu Yu, which made the guilt in Qiu Yu's eyes become more intense.
"sorry¡¡"
She couldn¡¯t speak anymore after saying three words, and she didn¡¯t dare to look into Fang Jie¡¯s eyes. She hung her head, looking as if she was the child who had done something wrong.
"When we were eating fish with six gills by the Crescent Lake in Banyue Mountain, Mo Wanwu told me some past events about you. Because of what he told me, I had a general impression of you. How should I put it tough? Genius? Although he refused to say more, I can guess that your status in the Martial Arts Academy is definitely something special."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "But your appearance today does not match my impression"
He sat down on the stone bed, pointed to the chair in front of him and said: "It's a simple house, I'll make the bed and you can sit on the chair. There's just no tea, why don't I say hello and see if they deliver it?"
"Fang Jie"
"Um?"
Qiu Yu raised his head, was silent for a while and asked, "You don't hate me?"
Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "How could I not hate you? But it's not you I hate, because I thought about it for a long time before I was sure that this matter definitely has nothing to do with you. If it does, it's because of your research on my physique. Then I gave Dean Zhou a very honest answer. It's not your fault, because you just didn't lie. I don't hate Dean Zhou. If I were in his position, I would be more direct. I don¡¯t even hate His Majesty. It¡¯s the same reason. Thinking from their point of view, I seem to be really suspicioussuspicious, and deserve to die.¡±
"Then what do you hate?"
Qiu Yu asked.
"I hate myself."
Fang Jie said seriously: "I always thought that I was a smart guy, and everyone I met would also say, Fang Jie, you are a smart guy. After listening to it too much, even??I feel a little elated. If it hadn't been for this, I really wouldn't have realized that I was such an idiot. After being in a comfortable environment for a long time, I forgot that I should be at least wary of the outside world. What I hate is my own idiocy, that's all. "
"Just before you came, a man named Meng Wudi talked with me for a long time. I am very grateful that he did not use torture, although I know that he is not qualified to order it. He told me that my current crime is Suspected to be a Buddhist disciple I am also very grateful that he said it sincerely and did not hide anything. The only thing I am unhappy about is that this crime sounds very serious but I don't understand it at all. "
"Fang Jieit's not your fault."
Qiu Yu¡¯s nose felt sore, and his heart felt a little uncomfortable.
Fang explained: "No, it's my fault."
He glanced at the torture instruments and said in a calm tone: "If I had more experience, I would know how dangerous it is to easily show that you are different, and it is not something worth bragging about. I got nine excellent grades in the examination at the Yanwu Academy. This was not the beginning of my stupidity, but it was the root cause of the current situation. If I was just an ordinary student, Dean Zhou would not be interested in my physique. , then I should still be sitting in the bright classroom of the Martial Arts Academy, listening to your lectures. "
"It's not like this placeit's so dark and cold."
Fang Jie pointed around, and finally placed his finger on the oil lamp: "That is the only light, but there is no warmth."
"I believe you!"
Qiu Yu looked at Fang Jie and said firmly: "If you are from the Buddhist sect, then you came all the way to Chang'an just to commit suicide. I don't think you are such an idiot, nor do I think that the Buddhist disciples of the Buddhist sect are Such an idiot, so I believe you, from the beginning to now.¡±
"thank you"
Fang Jie got off the stone bed and bowed deeply to Qiu Yu.
¡°Nothing else but thank you.¡±
He said.
The indifferent tone made Qiu Yu feel a pain in his heart. He said thank you, but there was no thank you in his words? He looks very calm, but if anyone calms down on such an occasion, that is the most worrying thing, because calmness in prison often means death.
Fang Jie is a very cheerful young man, although sometimes he can be annoying when he chatters incessantly. But he was always happy. This was what Qiu Yu saw in Fang Jie's eyes. But now, there is no such thing. So Qiu Yu was a little scared. She didn't know if Fang Jie was lucky enough to survive this time, would he still be the same Fang Jie in her memory in the future?
"I'll take you out!"
Qiu Yu gritted his teeth: "Go see your Majesty!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Fang Jie couldn't help but smile, looked at Qiu Yu and asked seriously: "Sir, can you stop being an idiot?" - Didn't finish reading?
