You rascal, stop right there!

Chapter 243 That is the emblem of the dark factory

He was once bound by imperial power, and then swept up in the chaotic times.

Since such a person has various identities, how can he be explained clearly in just a few words?

Although it was late at night, tea was still prepared.

The candles in the prison cell in Dingzhou City were still lit, but it was raining outside the ventilated stone windows.

Bai Wan sat beside the table, holding the booklet in his hand and began to write quickly while waiting.

A cool breeze blows in, page after page.

Looking at the green leaf pattern on the dagger, I felt very conflicted.

Ling Shumo still had Chen Xingyi tied up. He looked at the person next to him with a hint of sadness, and there was a dark light in his eyes at night.

Friendship is friendship, reality is reality.

Add some darkness to the quiet night.

"woke up!"

"woke up--"

They looked at the short man in black. They had met and parted several times since then, and the change of identity made them feel particularly complicated.

From a ruffian in Baiyun City, to an assassin who tried to kill the Prime Minister, to the person who steals pictures to silence people today.

The little man in black, with hazy eyes, never knew what he wanted to do.

Chen Xingyi looked at the scene in front of him and the two familiar people, and struggled slightly.

The contradiction subsided and there was a long silence.

With his ability, the rope could not trap him at all, but he still did not try to break free by force.

Bai Wan suddenly said softly: "The capital has been occupied for so long, and it's my fault that I didn't find you and bring you out."

Ok?

I really didn't expect that the first sentence was not to question his behavior.

"But you're lucky to have escaped. Since you want to steal my paintings, you have to share the money the boss gave you for this job with me."

Bai Wan's smile was a little forced, half joking and half serious.

"Four or six points?!"

Seeing that this man had fully recovered his sight, the words in Chen Xingyi's mouth got stuck in his throat and he said nothing.

Bai Wan was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, so since he couldn't ask directly, he just talked about random things.

"Fifty-fifty? Forget it...it's not easy to divide..." He sighed softly, his dark eyes tinged with coldness.

"Han has always felt that everyone is helpless, but there is always a bottom line, right..."

He seldom used this last name, and would only call himself that when it was serious, mostly to return to his original nature.

"Today..." Chen Xingyi's face turned a little pale, "I did come here on orders! But I can't say anything else."

As if he heard what he wanted to hear, Bai Wan finally held his breath.

Chen Er is different from others. He makes friends with his brothers without asking about their backgrounds, just for friendship.

Bai Wan then patted Chen Xingyi on the shoulder and said to the person beside him: "I have finished asking about the matters concerning brothers. As the person in charge of Dingzhou affairs, you can now ask about the details and benefits."

People feel a little tired and stop talking.

Ling Shumo glanced at the person in front of him whom he had known for a long time and understood what he meant.

His eyes are still like black jade, and his face is like ice and snow.

He pondered in his heart, word by word: "Were you responsible for the spies being killed today, the thefts in the city the day before yesterday, and the theft of the Dingzhou city defense map?"

Only Ling Shumo would help him ask these three cruel questions.

After hearing this question, Chen Xingyi fell silent and raised his chin, as if he wanted to kill time.

"Yes, I dare to do it and take responsibility for it."

This sounds like giving up on yourself.

"Then whose orders were they?"

"It cannot be said!" Chen Xingyi still said this.

Still stubborn and unspeakable.

Bai Wan didn't know why Chen Xingyi was so loyal to his master, but he knew that this man was not evil by nature, he just didn't know why he would do anything for others.

Assassins kill people mostly for money and loyalty, and cheating and deceiving are minor evils, while collusion and selling out the country are major evils.

Even the lowest scoundrel or robber would be ashamed to be involved in this matter.

So Bai Wan looked at him and threw the three dice.

"Five, five, six. Big!"

Then he put the dice in his hand.

"Open it big or small, it's up to you!"

Chen Xingyi's hands and feet were still tied, and his fingertips could barely hold the dice. After observing carefully, he straightened his body and did not throw it immediately.

In the ruffian circle of Baiyun City, when it comes to urination and defecation, the loser has to listen to the winner.

This is a choice...

Ling Shumo closed the iron lock, seemed to sigh, and the next moment he led Bai Wan out.

Without waiting for the man to throw the ball, the two men walked out and stood directly at the entrance of the prison.

At this time, spring rain fell as expected.

"Clap! Clap!"

The raindrops hitting the stone lions beside him made noises. Bai Wan took out a page of paper from the booklet, drew a green leaf emblem, and stared blankly.

"Zi Chen, there is a green leaf emblem on his dagger. I have seen it before."

Bai Wan has a photographic memory for graphics, even if it is just an inconspicuous mark.

Ling Shumo paused for a moment before saying, "That is the emblem of the Dark Factory. He is the man of Nanying's palace chief eunuch Gu Xiaoyu."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the early days of Daying, Li Simeng's party was the most powerful in the court. Emperor Jiaxing obeyed them in almost everything, while the two empresses dowagers ignored state affairs.

Only the secret eunuch factory founded by the previous emperor still exists, to be handed over to the next eunuch chief.

But after the death of the previous emperor, this secret factory lost its name and disappeared.

If this Chen Xingyi is really one of his subordinates, doesn't it mean that the Dark Factory has been subverting the Daying court?

"In that case, Nan Ying is probably going to die too." Bai Wan laughed.

The rain began to fall heavier. Ling Shumo stood slowly, holding an oil-paper umbrella. "He didn't say anything, but he must not be the only one who came."

The theft cases in government offices have been causing a stir these past few days, and it is definitely not something that one person could have done.

Bai Wan was slightly startled, and quickly stopped: "I will go to redraw the detailed city defense map tonight, and by tomorrow A Yan will have rescued Brother Zi Huan and returned."

The raindrops hit the paper umbrella and made a tinkling sound. The raindrops fell and splashed on Bai Wan's face.

"You are talking about something else again!"

Ling Shumo asked calmly, his tone seemed to be mixed with unclear thoughts.

As early as when he learned that Chen Xingyi had been pretending to be a gangster and monitoring him for three years, he felt that this person was not right.

But after all, we have known each other for too long, so even if we don’t know each other’s background, we can still be considered as friends…

"..."Bai Wan put the album away angrily and wiped off the water droplets on it.

Without answering, he wanted to move forward with the person next to him, holding the umbrella.

The umbrella was still blocking the rain, but half of my clothes were wet.

"The cell is a bit cold, give him some extra bedding!" Bai Wan smiled, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Somehow, I heard Ling Shumo slowly say, "Are you this nice to every brother?"

Bai Wan was a little puzzled, then smiled and said, "Brothers are brothers, and you are you, which is different."

"Fortunately..."

After hearing this, Ling Shumo stopped talking and stared at him.

He did not forget to ask more questions as he moved forward.

"Brother Qi Tu has been looking for his whereabouts. Should we tell him?"
