Chapter One New arrival(1/2)
On that day, later, in Dali Temple.
In the dark interrogation room, a dim light illuminated Di Renjie's face, and the boy opposite who had finally woken up from the drunkenness.
Being locked in Dali Temple, the boy seemed to have not understood the seriousness of the matter, and was still calm. He looked around curiously and looked closely, as if he didn't recognize where he was at all.
There is no sense of being imprisoned.
Di Renjie looked at the Lu Yin and the transcript of the inquiry in front of him expressionlessly.
Li Bai, male, is from Yunzhong, and is seventeen years old. He has traveled here.
We travel thousands of miles to see the prosperity of Chang'an.
Like all the outsiders in this city, they are attracted by the light of this continent's pearl and are no different from others.
The only problem...
Only in front of me is this heavy "road guide".
Di Renjie has never seen such an exaggerated thickness.
On the above, every page and every part is densely covered with seals and clearance records from various places. It is not only the marks of various city-states in the cloud, but also farther, and some are even older, and there are even several texts on it that even Di Renjie cannot recognize.
If this is a fake for a moment, it would be fine. The problem is that Di Renjie can't see the problem at all, all of them are true!
If it is fake, then this guy is a big liar that has never been seen in Chang'an City.
But if it is true, then this guy came from a place farther and more west than in the clouds...
Both guesses are equally incredible.
Cooperating with the boy's amazing swordsmanship, Di Renjie felt uneasy for a long time and smelled the breath of trouble.
However, there was still a expressionless face on his face.
Just a slightly frown...
"You should be clear about the seriousness of the matter, Li Bai." He knocked on the table: "This is not a trivial matter."
This is the most common method of interrogation in the public. Under the authority of the Dali Temple, which was established by countless villains, no matter what kind of bold madmen they are, they will feel the power of the law.
But across the table, the boy was still confused, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.
Full of confusion.
"I've said it many times. I'm drunk and can't remember anything. When I open my eyes, I see someone trying to kill someone. What's next...you all know."
"It is true, but have you ever said, from which stop you bought the ticket and from whose hands you bought the wine and drank it drunk?"
Di Renjie asked casually, which made Li Bai's gaze float.
Look elsewhere.
He almost forgot about this. He seemed to have, perhaps, taken up the cart halfway.
I never thought so much!
Originally, he wanted to make up for the ticket, but he was tired and thirsty. When he saw the car full of wine, he immediately... couldn't walk anymore.
"Ahem, I paid it," he explained.
"Forcing buying and selling without the consent of the owner is also illegal." Di Renjie said expressionlessly: "Li Bai, chivalrous actions are one thing, and causing losses are another."
No, in fact, the wine merchant in the car heard that the person who drank all his wine left more than three times the money in the same place, so he was too happy, so how could he object?
What is really troublesome is Xi Che, who was destroyed casually by Li Bai and cracks in the keel bones. The Yu Heng driver, who was responsible for the maintenance, was almost mad and demanded severe punishment of the destructors. If Di Renjie had not stopped him with the excuse of "normal loss", Li Bai would have been in a different place.
But now, he feels that he has kept a problem.
A very tricky trouble.
"Do you know who the person you defeated is?"
Di Renjie threw out a confession: "Xuanyong's famous master, the horse bandit who traveled through the business world, can be said to be very famous, but you were defeated by you when you got drunk.
To be honest, Li Bai, I am very curious about the origin of your swordsmanship. I also hope you will be honest with me, and everyone will be open and honest, and to solve the beginning and end of this case as soon as possible, and to everyone."
"I don't understand it."
Li Bai asked puzzledly: "Although I secretly pulled out the boat, it was my fault that I didn't make up for the ticket. But seeing the road is unfair, it's okay to draw a sword to help me, right? Why did I feel like a prisoner?"
In the boy's puzzled eyes, Di Renjie did not speak anymore.
It is indeed a rare chivalrous act to see injustice and draw a sword to help.
Moreover, this young man has never been able to take charge and become arrogant. On the contrary, he treats everyone with courtesy, calm and friendly.
But Di Renjie still felt that something was wrong.
It was not until he looked at Li Bai's eyes that he noticed the source of this abnormality.
——The eyes of that boy.
So calm and calm, looking at everyone.
He was not eager for being a high-ranking official, nor was he despised because he was a peddler. The laws of Chang'an City, the majesty of Dali Temple, and even the dark and cramped prison cells were no different from the wilderness and the downtown area.
Treat everything equally, but with a faint sense of alienation.
It's like... looking down from the sky.
Should it be said to be arrogant or indifferent?
It seemed as if everything in the world was insignificant and was not enough to make him care and move.
He doesn't care.
But there are always more important things in this world that need to be taken seriously. If the law that maintains order is ignored and acts based on one's own preferences and dislikes, what is the difference between it and those cruel and tyrannical bandits and murderers?
If such amazing swordsmanship is used at will, how big a disaster will it cause?
But Di Renjie could not say such words.
That's nothing that happened.
If he easily uses such heavy things as the law to treat others because of his own speculation, then what is the difference between him and the disaster he must be wary of?
In this brief silence, Di Renjie shook his head and sighed, and he felt a long-lost sense of helplessness.
"Why didn't he be killed, Li Bai?" he asked suddenly.
"Um?"
"Wang Yuan." Di Renjie said: "Why didn't the person who drew his sword at you kill him?"
"Why did I kill him?" the young man asked in confusion, as if he didn't understand why he asked such a question.
"After drawing the sword, each person will share life and death. Isn't this a convention in the world?" Di Renjie said: "It's not just you who knows the rules between the rangers. Li Bai, you should have a better understanding of it."
The boy thought for a moment and answered solemnly:
"——There is nothing in this world that can be more precious than life. My practice is greater than any practice in the world."
Such a clear and serious smile seemed to be depicting the best things in the world. It sounded so naive, but it was involuntarily convincing.
There may be ten thousand kinds of beauty in this world, countless fine wines and long songs, vast rivers, endless oceans, dangerous peaks and endless beautiful scenery.
Countless encounters and partings also have many pains and more joys.
But if you die, there will be nothing left.
Life is the most precious thing.
Everyone's life should be treated solemnly.
This should be something that everyone knows, but why is it so simple that everyone gradually forgets it?
In silence, Di Renjie lowered his eyes.
After all, it was speechless.
"Remember what you said, Li Bai." He sighed, reluctantly stamped the release document, and finally warned: "No matter what you mean, Li Bai, Chang'an welcomes anyone, but not trouble."
He said, "I hope you can do it yourself."
However, Li Bai was not concerned about his indifferent attitude, so he happily took the document, stood up and said goodbye, as if he had made an appointment to see him tomorrow after drinking.
Before leaving, he reached out to rub Yuan Fang's hair and ears and said goodbye kindly: "Goodbye, kid!"
Yuan Fang slapped his hand unhappily and didn't give him a good look.
After Li Bai left, he complained in disgust: "This guy really hates me and always likes to treat others as children!"
"normal."
Di Renjie calmly sorted out the information in his hand, "It's not surprising that people like him regard everyone as children..."
After all, he is no different from a child.
Di Renjie thought for a moment and suddenly ordered: "Yuan Fang, you stare at him."
"ah?"
"A person like him will sooner or later cause trouble in Chang'an City. At that time, you can find an excuse to drive him out of the city, so as not to cause any big trouble that you can't handle."
To be continued...
