The ancestral hall is cool.

But Gai Heng's body was covered with a thin layer of sweat at some point, and his underwear stuck to his back, sticky and slippery, which made him feel uncomfortable.

The more he looked at the person in front of him, the more he felt strange. Whether it was his expression, tone of voice, or the smile on his face, he could no longer find the trace of his former modesty and warmth.

"What... what did he do?"

Gai Heng squeezed out a word from his throat.

Hu Jian's smile deepened, and he suddenly looked at Su Rao with a cruel smile: "To be honest, his death has something to do with Master Su."

"How to say?"

Su Rao asked in a cooperative manner.

Hu Jian is very satisfied with her attitude, he prefers to chat with her compared to the colleagues next to him who are sometimes on pins and needles, and sometimes angry and resentful.

"Li Cheng is arrogant and arrogant. Suzakumen can tell by kneeling and admonishing him. He was drunk that night. When he mentioned you, he said 'long hair but short knowledge' and 'ignorant woman'. He also said that he invited the great Confucianism of the time to come forward, and you will be ruined."

"There are too many people like him. They think too much of themselves but no one cares about them. They feel that their talents are underappreciated and that they have nowhere to display their ambitions. Therefore, they are even more jealous of those who come from humble backgrounds and become powerful."

Obviously, this person was talking about her.

Su Rao twitched the corner of her mouth with great interest, "It sounds like Master Hu doesn't agree with him?"

"of course."

Hu Jian didn't hide his thoughts at all: "He worked hard, spent all day hanging around with dudes and wasting his knowledge. It's not that his talent is not appreciated, it's obviously a rotten talent, and he can't be useful."

"And you, Master Su."

"Repeatedly solving strange cases and possessing outstanding knowledge, it is really unfair for them to slander, frame, joke and humiliate because of their gender difference."

Now Su Rao couldn't help re-examining this person.

She didn't expect Hu Jian to look at her like this...

Thoughts were spinning, Su Rao asked in amazement: "Master Hu, are you arguing for me?"

"That's right, real talents shouldn't be buried and belittled, all those who try to suppress and destroy them should be damned!"

Hu Jian gritted his teeth for the last three words.

"Even if he has misbehavior and improper words, he is not guilty of death!"

Gai Heng felt that his remarks were hypocrisy, trying to excuse himself, Hu Jian sneered: "What kind of crime does not deserve death, a hypocrite like him who is full of absurdity and sanctimonious, should end up like this."

"So, Master Su."

He looked at Su Rao and smiled more kindly: "I killed Li Cheng for you, you should thank me."

"You're talking nonsense."

Before Su Rao opened her mouth, Gai Heng jumped ahead of her and said, "What do you mean killing Li Cheng for her? You kill people out of selfish desire to vent your anger, and you dare to talk about it?"

Hu Jian snorted slightly, Shi Shiran straightened his cuffs, "I can't help it, I can't understand these behaviors, I have to be fair."

"Master Su, do you dare to say that after Li Cheng's death, you didn't feel happy and relieved?"

"It really isn't."

Su Rao shrugged slightly, showing a disapproving expression, "I'm different from you, I never waste my time on these insignificant people."

"That's my meddling."

Hu Jian imitated her and spread his hands, and said with a playful smile: "Then what can we do? Anyway, I will kill them all, and he can only admit that he is unlucky."

His tone was relaxed and without remorse.

This deepened the disgust in Gai Heng's eyes. Hu Jian caught the change of his mood and couldn't help but said, "Master, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Feel sick?"

Gai Heng turned his eyes away in disgust, not wanting to look at his face.

Seeing this, Hu Jian mocked: "There is nothing you can do if you don't want to hear it. Do you still remember that when I was promoted to Shaoyin four years ago, my colleagues in the yamen specially served a drink to congratulate me. Compliments."

Gai Heng took a deep breath and said impatiently, "What do you want to say?"

"Those people look enthusiastic and sincere, don't they, but do you know what they say behind their backs?"

Perhaps Hu Jian's mood fluctuated too much, or the mention of the past brought back memories of Gai Heng, and he subconsciously looked back.

Hu Jian stared at him with a smile on his face, his eyes serious: "They said that I have been fawning on you like a dog all day long, I licked the right master, and finally got what I wanted."

"Who said this nonsense!"

Gai Heng said angrily: "In order to arrest the robbers and protect the people, you were hacked twice by those gangsters, injuring your chest and abdomen, and almost died..."

"You can be promoted, that is earned by yourself, what does it have to do with me?"

"Only you think so, my lord."

Hu Jian laughed at himself: "They don't care about these things. They don't want to pay but also want to get benefits. They are greedy and shameless, and they are greedy for profit. Only by belittling others into the quagmire can they not appear incompetent."

"That's how they are..."

His voice was very soft, it seemed to be sighing, and it seemed to be mocking.

It fell like a feather in the ears of Su Rao and Gai Heng, which made people feel a lot of emotion.

"Is this where you started killing people?"

Su Rao asked at the right time.

Unexpectedly, Hu Jian just laughed, "I will answer this question for you at the end."

"why?"

"The most interesting thing, of course, is more interesting if it is revealed at the end."

Hu Jian had been sitting on his knees for a long time, and his legs were numb and tingling. He simply changed his posture just like Su Rao, and sat on the futon with his knees bent.

Su Rao said: "You killed Li Cheng, gouged out his eyes and cut off his tongue, because he had no eyes and loved to tell stories? And the other dead were also punished by cutting their tongues. It seems that you especially hate people who commit crimes."

"Yeah, you can't speak if you have a long tongue, so it's better to cut it off."

Hu Jian responded casually.

"It also has something to do with the crimes committed by the people you pick."

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Hu Jian became interested, and looked at Su Rao with a smile: "Master Su, why not guess, what crime did they commit?"

Regarding the facts of the case, the dossier clearly stated it.

Almost everyone is innocent.

He took the time to examine Su Rao, as if curious about what conclusion she could draw, Su Rao's eyes flickered slightly, and she pursed her lips for a long time.

Hu Jian was a little disappointed: "Can't you answer?"

"How can a person with a normal mind like you guess it?"

Gai Heng didn't want to see his contemptuous eyes again, as if everyone was a worthless idiot in front of him.

Laugh at their incompetence wantonly.

This time, Hu Jian did not avoid Gai Heng's sarcasm, but looked at him with fixed eyes, "My lord, do you know what is the saddest thing?"

He didn't give Gai Heng a chance to answer, and said to himself: "The saddest thing is that no one thinks they are guilty."

"What did they do?"

Gai Heng really couldn't understand Hu Jian's thoughts, "The file is there, the cause and effect are clear, what should be punished should be punished, what should be changed should be changed, I really don't understand..."

He couldn't go on, feeling weak for a while.

Thinking of Yan Yun's expression at that time, Su Rao suddenly said in silence: "It's because they didn't do anything... right?"
