Chapter 13 Footsteps
At night, Dan Liwen paced back and forth in the room, his face full of indignation, anxiety and nervousness.
A clever trick is about seven points of trueness and three points of falseness.
The most clever trick is undoubtedly to deceive yourself, such as the many gods and grandchildren who really believe that they are the so-called reincarnation of gods and Buddhas in history.
After all, if you can deceive people to the point where you believe it, then the scam must be top-notch.
Although Bai Shier had not reached that level, he was only one line away.
Although Shan Liwen was an ally on the same front as Bai Shier in this matter, Bai Shier did not tell Shan Liwen any details about his visit to the head of the Minister of War.
This is also the reason why Dan Liwen is so indignant, anxious and nervous at this time.
He felt that he seemed to be sold by Bai Shier.
After all, from yesterday to this morning, he had been pestering Bai Shier's beautiful wife twice, and I'm afraid no one would have any good face to him.
Although Bai Shier captured Li Zhongze in time with his help, he obviously benefited more from the fact that he captured Li Zhongze...
Then think about the identity of Bai Shier Jinyiwei and the bad image of Jinyiwei in the minds of all literati. Dan Liwen really feels that he may be in danger this time.
I couldn't help but sigh, Dan Liwen seemed to be tired of walking, or was tired of heart, and finally sat down and began to comfort herself.
If Bai Shier really wants to cheat him, he shouldn't let him listen to the interrogation of Li Zhongze. Wouldn't it be better to keep himself in the dark?
Moreover, I just apologized to the other party for what happened before, and hasn’t the other party already expressed forgiveness?
...
Dan Liwen constantly comforts himself with various things that are beneficial to him.
But not only did not calm his mood, but instead made his heart increasingly confused and suspicious.
What caused all this was the person who was revealed by Li Zhongze who seemed as high as a mountain in Dan Liwen - a second-rank senior official and Secretary of the Ministry of War Zhang Bin.
Even though Zhang Bin, the Minister of War, was the Minister of War left by Ying Tian, for such a small scholar, the other party was still unattainable, and he was no different from the ants under the other party's feet.
But what Shan Liwen couldn't figure out was how could he attract the attention of a second-rank official, and even let his official in charge set up a bureau to cheat him?
Dan Liwen wanted to cry without tears.
But this did not prevent him from knowing the impact of the appearance of this second-rank senior official on the whole matter.
Perhaps the things Bai Shier did before and what he said were sincere, and the other party did accept his apology and was willing to resolve grudges with him, and even help him uphold justice in this matter, at least he could testify for him.
But the appearance of the Minister of War Zhang Bin made all this change.
Although Bai Shier is the Jinyiwei, his relationship with civil servants has always been incompatible.
But that is mostly under the same status.
The status is too different. For example, now, the situation may change between a second-rank Shangshu and a small banner.
As the Little Banner of the Jinyiwei, Bai Shier would definitely think in his heart whether it is worth it for such a small scholar as him. He had offended his scholar twice to provoke a second-rank high-ranking official.
Even if you think with the most optimistic attitude, Dan Liwen doesn’t have a trace of confidence in his heart.
What's more, he is not those nerds. He has been smart since childhood and has visited many officials with his father, and he also has a vague impression in his heart.
In the officialdom, there are no so-called enemies at all, they only have interests and benefits.
Even if the commander in charge of the Jinyiwei could use each other with the officials in the court, would Bai Shier, a small flag, use him to ask Zhang Bin for benefits?
When I think of these Dan Liwen, my heart is filled with a cold heart.
But what made him even more chill was that even though he could guess these and predict the tragic ending he might have, he could only accept all this helplessly like dead flesh on the chopping board, and could not even jump around like a fish in front of his belly.
Because it is lonely here and surrounded by surging sea water, he is alone here, so he is really "that every day should not be called "the earth is not effective".
Even less than a hundred steps away, it is the main hall dedicated to Guanyin Master.
But a statue of the god who was invited out of this island for hundreds of years because of a word from the king. It was not until a few years ago that the king's will returned because of a will from the king, how could he have the ability to respond to his prayers and help him to save danger?
Dan Liwen closed his eyes in pain and sat on the chair, feeling a deep sense of reluctance and endless indignation... But all of this turned into deep despair in the end.
At this time, he no longer wanted to be able to get rid of danger, nor did he ask Bai Shier to be able to keep his true intentions and testify for him, and arrested Li Zhongze and Zhang Bin's managers and interrogated them.
He just hopes that he can still return home alive and meet his parents and relatives alive.
...
"No, I can't just give up!"
Even though the desire to survive was suppressed by deep despair, it still broke through the huge rock pressing on its head like a weed and stubbornly emerged.
"This is a Buddhist holy land, and there are two thousand households stationed on the main island not far away. No matter how rampant they are, they dare not commit crimes in broad daylight. The monks in the courtyard may not dare to offend a minister of the Ministry of War, but the other party must not dare to expose their identity like this, especially when there are so many families in the gentry here, they must not dare to act too much..."
Shan Liwen began to analyze all the information at present, hoping to find out the information that was most beneficial to him, which could help him get rid of danger, and even eventually escape from danger.
From the beginning, the situation seems to be pretty good.
"The only danger is, now..."
After analyzing the situation that was beneficial to him, the joy on Dan Liwen's face flashed, and there was still a deep sense of worry on his face.
"The only time they have the chance to start is to take advantage of the thick night and take advantage of everyone's sleep. And when my disappearance is definitely no one will care about it, they will only think that I have left by myself."
Dan Liwen calmed himself down and analyzed.
"So, those scholars who come with me and are familiar with me are my only life."
A light finally popped up in Dan Liwen's eyes again, which was the desire for life.
