Chapter 714 Su Wuming 13
Su Wuming looked at her flustered appearance, and he became even more confused. This girl was eccentric, and her mind was deep and unpredictable. He always felt that she had many secrets, but he didn't know where to start.
"Girl, you seem to be worried about something?" Su Wuming asked tentatively.
"No!" Chu Hua denied it flatly, but her eyes became even more uncertain.
Su Wuming did not ask any more questions, but just looked at her quietly, his eyes deep and complicated.
Silence fell between the two again.
Chu Hua felt like she was about to get tired of sitting still. The atmosphere was too awkward! She secretly glanced at Su Wuming and found that he was staring at the cake in her hand with a hint of desire in his eyes.
Could it be... that he wants to eat pastries?
Chu Hua's heart moved, and she quickly picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Su Wuming: "Mr. Su, do you want to eat it?"
Su Wuming was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head: "No need, girl, eat it."
"Oh." Chu Huan withdrew her hand in disappointment, muttering to herself: You obviously want to eat it, but you're still pretending!
As night fell, the lights in Chang'an City came on, and the hustle and bustle was gradually replaced by the chirping of insects. Inside Su Wuming's house, the atmosphere was as stagnant as solidified amber.
Chu Hua was playing with the teacup in boredom, her mind had already flown away. She secretly glanced at Su Wuming, who still looked like an old monk in meditation, which made her teeth itch.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence in the house. A man from the county office hurried in and reported, "Captain Su, we have been keeping an eye on Song Chai. He went to the gambling house in the west of the city!"
"A den of brothel?" Chu Huan raised her eyebrows. The name sounded full of the smell of money and decadence, which was in line with Song Chai's character.
Su Wuming's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He slowly put down the teacup, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let's go and meet him."
The group hurried to the vicinity of the brothel, but saw only an empty street, which was eerily quiet.
Chu Huan was wondering when she suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front, mixed with a few terrified screams.
"What's going on?" Su Wuming frowned and walked quickly towards the commotion.
I saw a figure stumbling towards me from a distance. It was Song Chai! His clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and his face was full of fear, like a dog that had lost its home.
Before anyone could react, a team of Jinwu Guards suddenly rushed out from the corner of the street and without saying a word, shot an arrow at Song Chai.
"Spare his life!" Lu Lingfeng who arrived later was too late to stop it.
Song Chai didn't even have time to scream before he collapsed to the ground, and his blood instantly dyed the bluestone road red.
The sudden change made Chu Hua stunned. Wasn't this too fast? Didn't they say they would arrest someone in the brothel? How come they just solved the problem on the street?
Su Wuming's face was gloomy, and he quickly walked to Song Chai's body, squatted down and examined it carefully. He stretched out his hand to feel Song Chai's breath, opened his eyelids and took a look, then stood up.
"Lu Lingfeng, you keep obstructing my investigation. I'm going to sue you!" Su Wuming was furious, pointing at Lu Lingfeng and almost poking his nose. His usual gentle temperament was gone, replaced by an unprecedented rage.
"How can you, a mere lieutenant of Chang'an County, go and sue this general?" Lu Lingfeng looked up with disdain. He glanced at Su Wuming with contempt, as if he were looking at an ant.
"I... I'll go to the princess and tell her about you!" Su Wuming spoke each word from between his teeth. His chest heaved violently, as if it would explode at any time.
"When did you get close to the princess?" Lu Lingfeng snorted coldly and glanced at Su Wuming with contempt.
Chu Huan felt like she was being scratched by a cat. Lu Lingfeng was too arrogant!
She clenched her fists and really wanted to rush up and punch him, to let him know why the flowers are so red! But she caught a glimpse of Su Wuming from the corner of her eye and forced herself to hold back.
This guy is obviously very angry now. If I add fuel to the fire, if he doesn't care and starts fighting with Lu Lingfeng, Su Wuming will definitely suffer. No, I have to calm him down.
Chu Huan glared at Lu Lingfeng fiercely, and that look seemed to be filled with poison and could burn a hole in his body.
Her slender fingers were clenched tightly, and the knuckles turned white. If she hadn't been concerned about Su Wuming, she really wanted to slap the Jinwu Guard's General on the face.
"Why are you staring at me?" Lu Lingfeng felt uncomfortable under Chu Hua's gaze.
"You're not happy after I told you..." Chu Hua dragged out the last syllable, her eyes moving, and she glanced at Lu Lingfeng with a smile, as if saying "you idiot".
Lu Lingfeng was almost choked by her light words. He pointed at Chu Hua and said, "You've been talking for a long time but you still can't make any sense."
"you you……"
As expected, Lu Lingfeng fell for Chu Hua's provocation. His face flushed red, and he pointed at Chu Hua and angrily said, "You! Explain your words clearly! What do you mean?"
Chu Hua saw that he had taken the bait and laughed in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface and said slowly: "Hey, why are you taking it so seriously, General? I was just saying it casually."
Su Wuming secretly worried for Lu Lingfeng. He had seen how eloquent this little girl was. When she was good at talking, she could make someone dead appear alive, and someone alive appear dying. Her arguments were all twisted. Lu Lingfeng was so reckless that he was afraid he would suffer.
Sure enough, Chu Hua rolled her eyes, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said slowly: "General, why are you so serious? I just said it casually. But General, you are so nervous, is there something wrong?"
"What did you say?!"
"What did the general say just now? Oh, you said that County Magistrate Su was trying to curry favor with the princess? What about you? Are you loyal to the emperor?" Chu Huan knew that she was making irresponsible comments on state affairs, but this was what the general had to ask. If anything went wrong, this big brother would take the blame.
She just wanted to say it.
There is no other reason, just that you are a bad talker.
Lu Lingfeng was speechless after hearing her words. His face flushed red, like a rooster being strangled by the neck. He pointed at Chu Hua and kept saying "you" for a long time, but he couldn't utter a word.
In the end, he could only angrily leave, leaving behind a sentence: "This general is too lazy to bother with a sharp-tongued woman like you!"
Looking at Lu Lingfeng's angry back, Chu Hua couldn't help but burst out laughing. She turned to look at Su Wuming, only to see him shaking his head helplessly.
"You just like to play tricks on people." Su Wuming's tone was filled with a hint of doting, and he reached out and gently touched Chu Hua's forehead.
Chu Hua stuck out her tongue playfully: "Who made him so arrogant?"
