C474 The Mechanism

After hearing what he said, Zhang Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, because he couldn't help but recall the conversation between him and Sun Shanglou, which was brought about by the seniority between them because of Jiang Buyu.

It didn't take long, but it seemed like an entire lifetime had passed.

Zheng Buji could tell what he had thought of just by looking at him. He stopped talking and just stood there quietly.

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Jingxuan looked through Lee Yuming's life again. He did help people in danger, and there were countless people around him. He did not even try to cover up his evil deeds. All of these were trustworthy. Zhang Jingxuan silently remembered all of this in his heart. On the surface, he was as calm as water. However, it was still difficult for him to calm down in his heart.

Lee Yuming, Mr. Lee, had never lived his life for his own sake. He had inherited the teachings of his ancestors and assisted a monarch like Lee Hongji. Everything he did was for the sake of this illusory mission. He even went against his conscience and did things that would make anyone's teeth ache. In particular, the few evil things he did, the ones who were harmed were all people related to him.

However, from another perspective, Lee Yuming treated him quite well. He had supported him with all his might from the start, and if he attacked him at that time... He was afraid that the current situation wouldn't happen. Judging from the relationship between the two of them, there was kindness but no resentment.

Besides, from the description in the records, Lee Yuming had long become determined to die. Since he had already died, all the grudges could be written off.

The feeling of being overwhelmed by emotions, mixed feelings, yet unable to be described, unable to vent, this kind of feeling was something that one could not understand without experiencing it.

Fortunately, there was still Zheng Buji by his side. His words allowed Zhang Jingxuan to walk out of this kind of bad mood.

"Cult Master Zhang, there is one thing that is not recorded in the record. But I think I should tell you about it. The reason why Uncle Li wants to die might be related to one thing. As far as I know, there is a force that is pouring dirty water on Uncle Li. It is all because of him that he has colluded with the Qing Dynasty. Furthermore, there is no way for him to explain this matter, because he is indeed on Lee Hongji's side. Although this matter was hidden from him at that time, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the outcome."

" Oh? There was such a thing? How did you know? Also, I want to ask, your relationship with Lee Yuming and Mr. Lee should be pretty good, right? Now that he has died in my hands, why do you seem so indifferent? There isn't any special reaction? "

"Actually, I've never been half a step away from this place since I was born, because Uncle Li said that he was afraid that I would be in danger if I went out. I know all of this through Zhengyi Sect's intelligence network.

As for the matter of you saying that he died by your hands, I don't think it's a big deal. From the perspective of a historical official, since Uncle Li already has the intention to die, then what difference does it make who killed him?

Besides, if he doesn't want to be killed by you, you might not necessarily be able to kill him."

This time, Zhang Jingxuan was rendered speechless.

Zheng Buji continued, "Uncle Li is actually very unhappy, that's why he chose to let go and leave. He could finally abandon those unfinished businesses. As for his unfinished life, let me help him finish it. After being his official for so long, sometimes I really think I'm his shadow. Now, the shadow is about to walk into the light."

Looking at his serious expression, Zhang Jingxuan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. That's right, Mr. Lee could finally let go of the burden that he did not like from now on. Just like what Zheng Buji said, if it wasn't for him giving him a chance, could he really kill him so easily?

It seemed like he had overestimated himself just now!

In a sense, Lee Yuming and Mr. Lee had borrowed his hands to pay back their debts to Jiang Buyu and Sun Shanglou. In this way, he could feel at ease.

Zheng Buji, on the other hand, would walk a brand new path. He would no longer be tied down by anything.

People who were good at comforting themselves would usually live a happier life.

A brilliant smile blossomed on Zhang Jingxuan's face. It had been a long time since they last met.

When Zheng Buji saw this, he smiled as well.

"Are you done? Then return it to me." As he spoke, Zheng Buji kept the book in Zhang Jingxuan's hand. Then, he twisted and turned on the wall, opened a secret door, and carefully stuffed the book into it. He restored the wall to its original state.

"Wait for me, I'll be right back" Without waiting for Zhang Jingxuan to say anything, Zheng Buji left him behind and left in a hurry.

After a short while, Zhang Jingxuan's thoughts were still a little chaotic. He was bored alone, so he wanted to find something to do. He thought about the steps Zheng Buji had used to open the secret door to the wall, and was hesitating whether he should take out the book and flip through it again. The footsteps were hurried, and Zheng Buji had already walked in.

Looking at his expression, he frowned slightly, but there was also a bit of excitement. It did not seem like he had always been calm. Zhang Jingxuan was trying to guess what this was for when he heard Zheng Buji say, "Get ready. It's time for us to set off. Ha, look at how anxious I am. I can't stay calm anymore. What do you have to prepare? "

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and went to open the secret door on the wall. Zhang Jingxuan saw his method of opening the door, but it was different from the previous time. He was secretly surprised. This mechanism seemed very mysterious. It was actually different every time? Wouldn't it be very difficult to remember such a complicated password? Fortunately, he did not rashly try to open it just now. It would not be good to activate the mechanism.

While he was thinking, he saw that Zheng Buji had already stopped moving. He looked at the wall with a complicated expression. After a few moments, the wall kept cracking. However, the secret door didn't open. Zhang Jingxuan laughed in his heart. It seemed like Zheng Buji remembered the wrong code. He triggered the mechanism.

However, Zheng Buji's face was calm again. It was hard to tell what kind of panic he was feeling. Zhang Jingxuan secretly admired him. It was amazing that he could pretend nothing happened even if he made a mistake.

As expected, Zheng Buji simply ignored the wall that was still ringing. He waved at Zhang Jingxuan and rushed out first.

Heh, he could see but not see. He was annoyed and quickly left the crime scene. Zhang Jingxuan realized that he was more and more admiring of this Brother Zheng.

Just as he followed Zheng Buji through two courtyards, he heard a loud crashing sound behind him. Zhang Jingxuan's expression changed. It sounded like the house had collapsed!

He was secretly glad that he didn't move his hand just now. Otherwise, he would be the one to bear the blame. As he was thinking, he felt the sky behind him brighten up. He turned around and saw that it was alright! Not only did the house collapse, it was also on fire! And it was such a huge fire!
