C54 mind-reading

In the study room of the Cai family, Xiao Wen looked at Cai Zhen with a domineering smile, as if he was looking at a prey.

In fact, Xiao Wen had been acting quite domineeringly when he had faced Cai Jing's challenge just now.

Xiao Wen was very clear that at this time, he could no longer face Cai Ji with a weak attitude.

The prestige that he had accumulated over the past few days by scolding the soldiers filled Xiao Wen with energy.

His gaze even made Cai Zhe feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Old Mr. Cai, I have no ill intentions in coming here today. You don't have to be so nervous. " Xiao Wen looked at Cai Zhen and smiled faintly.

"I'm not nervous." Cai Zhen answered coldly, his tone full of certainty.

However, Xiao Wen shook his head and said, "After you invited me to sit down, you didn't sit down. Instead, you stayed in the corner and watched the scenery outside the window. There is a total distance of two Zhang between the two of us. Generally speaking, a distance of one zhang and one zhang was only maintained when the two sides were talking. If the distance exceeds twenty meters, then it means that the person who took the initiative to increase the distance between us is on guard against another person. "

"This …" Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Cai Zongming was stunned for a moment before revealing a dilemma.

When he went back to his seat, it was obvious that he wanted to look into Xiao Wen's rare and aggressive eyes.

If he continued to stand, it proved that he was afraid of Xiao Wen. Such an attitude was clearly unfavorable for the discussions that would follow.

It could be said that in this era, people who paid particular attention to elegance and restraint were not very good at dealing with Xiao Wen's aggressive, yet courteous attitude.

Just as Cai Zhen was feeling conflicted, Xiao Wen continued, "Mr. Cai Zhen, your eyes are always looking out of the window, but you don't dare to look in. It's clear that you're trying to escape. You feel that you need to stay outside, keep a distance of ten zhang from me, in order to guarantee your own safety. Is that right? "

Xiao Wen's words made Cai Zhen stunned for a moment. But this time, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Wen.

"It's like a cat toying with a mouse. I have to say, behavioral science, psychology and microemotionology are really interesting things!"

Xiao Wen saw that Cai Zongming, who was obviously an old man, was toyed with until he lost all ability to resist under the methods of the transcendent era of scientific interrogation. He only felt that it was very interesting.

"Cough, cough!" Coughing twice, Cai Zhen suppressed the unsettling gaze of Xiao Wen and returned to his seat.

He turned to Xiao Wen and said, "If you have anything to say, Mr Xiao, you should get straight to the point! A normal person's way of doing things is better avoided. "

Hearing this, the corner of Xiao Wen's mouth curled up into a smile.

In the past, when he was at the academy, Xiao Wen had seen Cai Zongming chat with his guests many times. Cai Zongming talked for a long time until the guests almost went on a rampage before he entered the conversation.

Today, he unexpectedly went straight to the point. It was clear that Xiao Wen made him feel uncomfortable.

However, since that was the case, Xiao Wen couldn't be bothered to continue blabbering.

He asked, "Old mister, did you say that the Song Empire sent a spy?"

"How do you know?" Cai Zheng asked, rubbing his neck.

Xiao Wen stared fixedly at Cai Zhe, as if he was certain of his decision. "From what you said just now, and the way you touched my neck, I can tell."

Above the Adam's apple below the chin, there is a lot of nerve tissue.

Generally speaking, when humans feel nervous and uneasy, they will touch this place to ease the psychological pressure.

Therefore, Cai Zou had already revealed his nervousness when Xiao Wen asked him if he was a spy from Song Kingdom.

"If it's Heshen, I wouldn't dare to doubt it without solid evidence. Otherwise, even if I had a title, it would still be hard for me to bear the guilt. "But the Cai family is just rich and well-educated, they shouldn't be so unworthy to be offended." Xiao Wen thought to himself.

"You can see what the other person is thinking from their expression and actions. This is a trick only top spies have. Who exactly are you? "

Cai Zongming looked at Xiao Wen and asked coldly. Since his identity had been exposed, he couldn't be bothered to continue disguising himself.

"Big man, Left Reverend." Xiao Wen smiled faintly.

"So you're Chinese." Looking at Xiao Wen, Cai Zheng's serious expression returned.

"Speak!" What do you want to do? Do you mean to expose me and then accept my reward? "

"Old Mr. Cai, there is no need for this." Xiao Wen waved his hand and said, "I am very clear that His Majesty will not give me any rewards after I expose you. He would even punish me. "Don't think of me as a three year old child."

"Then what do you want?" Cai Zhen continued to ask.

"Very simple." Xiao Wen shook his index finger and said in a relaxed manner, "Recently, there has been evidence that our respected County Official of the Cloud County, He Heshen, is a spy for the Manchu constables. His goal is to subvert my man from the inside out. Because of the recent war in the east, the defence on the north side was weak. If the eight banners of the Tarantula appear suddenly in the clouds, and they join together with Heshen, then the clouds will be in danger, and the north in danger. "

Hearing this, Cai Zhe's expression didn't change at all. He just looked at Xiao Wen indifferently and said: "Your Emperor has already made plans to burn the north to the ground. Otherwise, why would there be only one troop defending in the north? "

Obviously, Cai Zongming was also well aware of the big man's situation.

However, Xiao Wen shook his head, "This is not as simple as getting burnt by the flames of war. If the Eight Banners of the entire Qing Dynasty were to work together with Hezhen, I'm afraid that General Li's group would be in trouble. "

"So what?" Cai Zongming looked at Xiao Wen's expression, shook his head and sneered: "If you want to earn money, you have to take a risk. Is your emperor not prepared to lose the whole of the North? "

"Feelings are not your land, so it doesn't matter if you lose it, right?" When Xiao Wen heard Cai Zongming speak to him in such a casual tone, he immediately exploded.

However, Cai Zongming wasn't moved. He coldly said, "Otherwise, don't tell me you want me to live or die with you?"

Then, he advised, "If the big man can take the reward from this war, his strength will definitely skyrocket. Even if the entire north were to fall into depravity, there would be a day when it would be reclaimed. It's just a short period of time, what's the point of worrying about the gains and losses? "

"Don't you know what the Manchus would do if they entered the north?" "With their natures, to carry out massacres in the clouds, in the Upper Prefecture, in the Longdou, in the Northern Lands, and in the various prefectures, are you going to let this matter go as you wish?" Xiao Wen asked loudly.

"A massacre?" Cai Chai first revealed an expression of disbelief, and then sneered: "Who doesn't know how to spout nonsense? Holocaust? "Nur Haji dares to carry out the massacre?"

"Why would I not dare?" On the tenth day of Yangzhou, Xiao Wen didn't think that they would dare to do such a thing.

Think of Zhou Xian, Zhou Wei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Shangguan Wan'er. If the entire Qing Dynasty attacked the clouds, all those people that he was familiar with would die in the massacre.

No matter what, Xiao Wen couldn't accept this result.

But he had never seen the brutality of the Manchu police, and Cai must not have taken Xiao Wen's words seriously.

He just calmly said, "Maintaining the status quo is something that suits my interests the most. If the Han Emperor were to turn his attention back to the clouds, then our Emperor's plan would run the risk of failure. "

"Then I will fabricate the evidence and say that you, the Song Emperor, wanted to use a great amount of benefits to lure our emperor to the east, and seize this opportunity to let the Tarantula occupy the north side of the big man. At that time, what you, the Song Emperor, will face would not be the defense line where your plan might fail, but rather, the price of which is that your plan has failed! " Xiao Wen looked at Cai Zhen and said loudly.
