Chapter 111
There was a sound of a whip whipping the air, and all the prisoners shrank to the ground and shivered.A fat man in his fifties with a goatee mustache was walking heavily, and the whip touched the iron railings. Everywhere he went, the prisoners screamed in fear.
"Keep your eyes closed, I don't want to dig them out before you go to the guillotine, so that you can't see the last farewell of your relatives." The warden stroked his beard and knocked on Feng Suying's cell door, "After an hour, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment If an adult wants to ask you something, be mentally prepared, any lies will be useless in front of that adult."
Seeing that Roshan left wielding his whip sensitively, Feng Shuying was stunned for a long time, "Just say this after a trip?"
"Should be here to spread the word, let me tell the truth that there is no problem. Don't talk about this, I smell the smell of hot pot." Feng Suying's eyes lit up, and Feng Shuying looked around at the death row prisoners who were salivating. Ying is really a devil, actually eating hot pot in this desperate place.
"There is a problem. Shabu-shabu needs to be done manually. Now we can't eat it at all." One chain on both hands is too heavy to lift, let alone the eight chains on Feng Suying's body.
"For food, everything is not a problem."
The jailer landed with a screen on his shoulders, blocking sight from all directions. The central heater burned incense, and the pear charcoal stove in front of the two people cooked hot pot.The fragrance diffused with the water vapor, adding a bit of warmth to the dark underground cell.
"What kind of hot pot do you eat with chains on, be careful, the pot will be overturned when the chain comes down." Feng Shuying not only has to bear the weight of the chain on her body, but also pays attention to the chain on Feng Suying's wrist from slipping into the pot at all times , Smash the pot over.
Carrying the meat with trembling hands, he would have to rest for a long time after taking a bite, but he was so tired that he was out of breath after not eating much. Feng Suying felt that she worked really hard for her stuttering, so she would not have ordered hot pot if she had known.
"You two are really in a good mood, eating hot pot in death row."
Before seeing the person, Feng Suying put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked over. The person who came was a gentle man, shrewd and capable, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, bright and indifferent.The voices of grievances all around became louder and louder, but he didn't seem to hear it.After all, nine out of ten of the prisoners here were sent in by him.
"Shangshu Yu Xinwen of the Ministry of Punishment, can you add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the lower officials?" Yu Xinwen bowed and looked at the jailer behind him, "I'm sorry."
"Don't dare, please." The jailer opened the cell door and let Yu Xinwen in. He swiftly put on a set of clean bowls and chopsticks and hurriedly left.
"I didn't expect that the majestic Minister of the Ministry of Punishment would eat the food of the death row prisoner."
"You don't know, the case of Lord Xun'an is so troublesome that I don't even have time to sit down and rest." Yu Xinwen frowned as he watched the boiling spicy hot pot. It doesn't taste that spicy.
Yu Xinwen felt a headache from the spicy food after just one mouthful, tears welled up in his eyes, "You two are true heroes." He didn't change his expression after eating for so long.
"You came here just to eat hot pot?" Feng Suying struggled to put a piece of meat in her mouth, suspecting that Yu Xinwen's crying was fake because it wasn't spicy at all, no spicy taste at all.
Yu Xinwen wiped his mouth, "Last night, the prince of Xun'an died in the study, with blood spattered three feet. The murderer's method was extremely fast, and the prince died before he could react. When the murderer fled, he gave Xun'an soup to calm the nerves." The prince's little prince accidentally met, and the little prince was overly frightened, and until now he has not allowed anyone to approach him."
"So, I would like to ask your Excellency, where and with whom did you do what last night?" Yu Xinwen felt that dealing with the case of Lord Xun'an was the hardest thing in the world. Blood Shura, who is notoriously vicious, if he can't handle it well, he will die if he offends anyone.
"I was drunk and lay down in Youhuangju all night. The Lord of Frost Huang was with me. As for what I did, what do you think he and I can do?" what happened.
The only clue is the white hair and red eyes. To be honest, Yu Xinwen feels that this matter is a problem that is difficult to break through.Although the evidence points to the only white-haired and red-eyed person in the world, I always feel that it is not that simple.Why would Blood Shura infiltrate a murderer? Usually, he would go in and kill them all. It is impossible for anyone to see him murder alive.
Besides, Blood Shura didn't kill the royal family once or twice. He almost took over the entire royal family 20 years ago. Why did His Majesty insist on this time?Although it is said that he wants to avenge the emperor's brother and give an explanation to the empress dowager, but the matter of killing the blood Shura is completely out of his mind and impossible.
However, it is rare for Xue Shura to arrest him with his arms tied and obediently wait for trial. If the murder is true, he will never tolerate it before the law.If it's fake, it's better to release this god of killing early.Going around in a circle, Yu Xinwen found himself back to the original problem, how to prove whether Xue Xiuluo is the murderer?
Yu Xinwen is urgent, and the imperial edict and Yu Liuyun are even more urgent.The two used all their intelligence networks, manpower and material resources, but they couldn't find the second person with white hair and red eyes.As long as a second person appears, the suspicion on Feng Suying will be cleared.
"There is no other person who is better than me in terms of intelligence, except Di Luocha. Otherwise, this person does not exist, or else he is a person of Di Luocha." Yu Liuyun rubbed his temples, Lu Yujun thoughtfully A pot of good tea was brought to refresh him.
"Your Majesty has decreed that if there is no result within three days, he will be sent to the guillotine." Liu Hua took a sip of tea and went through everything carefully. Then there is absolutely no way this matter will come to fruition.”
"Since the second person with white hair and red eyes can't be found, we can only find the answer on the corpse of Lord Xun'an." Yu Liuyun stroked the pattern on his mask, got up and changed into an unremarkable outfit.
"Although Xun'an Palace is blocked, I have a way to get in." In order not to be left behind, Liu Hua showed his role in time.Yu Liuyun, who was considering how to enter, agreed after thinking for a while, and the two of them might have more things to consider when they walk together.
Since the incident, Xun'an Palace has been heavily guarded and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The study room where the crime took place has also been surrounded by people, and no one is allowed to enter the destruction site.The only person who went in was the little prince besides the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The well-preserved scene brought favorable conditions to the investigation of the two.
Using his status and money to coerce and lure, Liu Hua persuaded the guards.Although it was only a quarter of an hour, it was enough for the two of them to turn the study room upside down.
Yu Liuyun crouched next to the dead body to study the condition of death, while Liu Hua searched for any clues.
The prince of Xun'an looked serene, and there was no fear of death in his eyes, which meant that the murderer's actions were so fast that the prince died before he realized the crisis.Lifting the head of Lord Xun'an, one can see that there is a sword wound on his throat, and the sword seals his throat neatly.
"Hehe...hahaha..." Yu Liuyun laughed when he saw the sword wound, "The person who blamed him is not clever enough, even Su Ying didn't know whether he used a knife or a sword to kill people." That's right. , This is a sword wound, and Feng Suying used a knife.
"This alone is not enough. Who said that a person who uses a knife cannot kill with a sword?" Liu Hua shook his head. This evidence is not strong enough to push away all the guilt on Feng Suying.
"Swordsmanship is different from swordsmanship. People who are used to swords can kill people with swords so quickly and smoothly. Do you think there is not enough evidence? I heard that the young prince is the only one who has seen the murderer's true face. As long as he sees Su Ying alright."
"The little prince has been so stimulated that he is now unconscious. No one is allowed to approach him. Anyone who sees him will call him a ghost. How can this exonerate Blood Shura?"
"I heard that the little prince was trapped in the West Gate Tower for many days, with a guillotine hanging on his head every day, but he didn't seem to be in a daze. Although the stimulation this time was a little too big, it shouldn't go crazy." Yu Liuyun slapped Snap your fingers, "Tell Lv Yujun to get ready for action."
"Do you suspect that someone drugged the little prince to lose control?" Liu Hua thought, this is also impossible.Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, and now we can't let go of any possibility.
When the time is up, even if Liu Hua has the title of imperial edict king, he is not allowed to stay at will.No clues could be found in the body or the room, so the two had to go back to the inn and wait patiently.
When the bright moon was in the sky, Lord Lvyu quietly sneaked into the mansion of Prince Xun'an, and he secretly had fun while searching around for the residence of the little prince.If this matter is resolved, Xue Shura will definitely look at the lord with admiration, throw himself into his arms, and marry him, er, marry him, and his desire to hate the world will not be far away.
The little prince in a gorgeous skirt crouched in a corner with his head in his arms, although it was late at night, he didn't feel sleepy.His expression was broken and haggard, his eyes widened and he looked around vigilantly, any disturbance could cause his nerves to become tense.
Lv Yujun lifted the blue tiles on the roof and blew the stupor smoke into it, and only when the little prince fell asleep due to the medicine, did he turn into the house through the window.Putting the person on the bed, stretching out his hand to feel the pulse, rapid heartbeat, hallucinations due to excitement, nervousness, these are the symptoms of eating too much psychedelic herb.
Knowing what caused it, Lu Yujun gave him the antidote, poured him half a bottle of sedative, and then left quietly. Going back to report is the most important thing.
This was the most peaceful night for the little prince to sleep, and he didn't wake up until noon the next day, recalling his state of ignorance,
It's like dreaming.
Yu Xinwen, who received the news from the imperial edict, waited and waited, from early in the morning until now, and finally waited for him to wake up with a look of excitement, and dragged him to the death row before the little prince could ask questions.
"Excuse me." Yu Xinwen stepped into the prison and saluted with hands bowed, the corners of his mouth twitched at the table of delicacies in front of Feng Suying, the life in prison was really better than outside.Those of us are busy, but the person concerned is happy and unrestrained.
An old man who couldn't walk well was holding a cane, and looked at Feng Suying with a pair of cloudy eyes, "Please tell me the palmistry."
"Ah?" He rushed over in a hurry to show me the palmistry?Feng Suying didn't react in her head, but honestly spread out her right hand and handed it to the old man.
The old man stared back and forth at Feng Suying's palm and let out a long sigh.
"What's the matter?" Feng Suying sighed so much that she thought she would die in the next second.
"I committed a crime of love, entangled with people who have nothing to do with me, what a crime."
"Ahem! I didn't ask you to tell his fortune, I just asked you to read his palm." Yu Xinwen coughed a few times in embarrassment, hurriedly corrected the deviation, and asked about the business.
The old man stroked his beard, "Look at the distribution of the calluses on the hand with the knife. I have been practicing the knife for about 20 years, and I am a master of the knife."
After confirming the first thing, Yu Xinwen forcibly dragged down the little prince who refused to enter the death row, and pointed at Feng Suying, "Little prince, please look carefully, is this person the one who killed your father?"
The little prince stared at Feng Suying for a long time, then raised his hand to protect his chest and leaned against Feng Suying's arms, "So it's you, son. I can't even recognize you after changing clothes. My father is dead, so I'm left alone." What should I do alone, why don't you take me to elope." The thick baritone with a crying voice made Feng Suying tremble with fright.
Just after your old father died, you wanted to elope? ? ?Whether others want you or not is still a big question.
The emperor gave three days, and he solved the matter perfectly in less than two days. Yu Xinwen breathed a sigh of relief, "I also invite the little prince to accompany the officials to face the saint. I know that the blood Shura is not the murderer in this case, and I will pay him back as soon as possible." free."
"Okay, my son, I'll come to see you some other day." There were priorities, and the little prince reluctantly left with Yu Xinwen.
Feng Shuying ate a piece of meat and drank a glass of juice, "Yu Liuyun is doing things much faster than I expected. I have not had enough of life in this prison and I am leaving."
"If you want to stay here, I won't stop you." Calculated like this, it feels like I haven't seen Yu Liuyun for a long time. I'm really not used to the disappearance of this guy who hangs around at my side all the time.
"If you don't want to stay here, you will be suffering, so I won't do it." It feels like a long time has passed, Zhifeng should calm down, I am not used to seeing my daughter-in-law for a long time.
Strolling in the Imperial Garden with Concubine Yu to admire the snow and see the first plum blossoms, the emperor was in a good mood when he recited poems and composed a couple of glasses of wine.Hearing Yu Xinwen's report in the next second, all the good moods collapsed, and his face was gloomy like dark clouds.
Yu Xinwen didn't know where he had offended the Holy Majesty, so he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an order to bleed Shura out of prison." Now Yu Xinwen is very worried that Xue Shura will be killed in the palace if he is unhappy, and he will kill Shura before the soldiers and horses gather. The royal family is about to be served.
"I see, Ai Qing, please step back." The emperor turned around and left with a wave of his sleeves. Now he was not in the mood to appreciate the snow, and even wished to tear the ground Raksha to shreds, saying that nothing would go wrong?Now that Blood Shura has been cleared of all guilt, what method should he use to kill him legitimately?
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, the body of the dragon is important. By the way, how about I tell Your Majesty an interesting story to make Your Majesty happy?" Concubine Yu held a pure white cat in her arms, gently stroking the cat's head and following the emperor. behind.
"I love my concubine, but it's okay to say it." Taking a deep breath, the emperor calmed down his anger and his desire to settle accounts with Luo Sha.He failed to kill Blood Shura, what should he do if Blood Shura counterattacks, what if he kills the palace?Such a difficult thing, if it is not solved with one blow, there will be endless troubles.
"In my backyard, Xiaobai often fights with the wild foxes that break into its territory, and loses every time. One day I saw Xiaobai go to the black cat raised by the concubine Liang in the next palace to form an alliance, and together they chased the fox. Wild fox. After defeating the wild fox, the black cat let the wild fox go on purpose, does your Majesty know why?"
It is rare to have such an interesting thing, and the emperor also asked with interest, "Why did the alliance let go of this common enemy?"
"Speaking of which, the black cat is really smart, because the wild fox, Xiaobai's confidant, is alive. In order to maintain the alliance with the black cat, Xiaobai can only send food to the black cat from time to time. In this way, during the alliance, the black cat occupies I've done my best for Xiaobai, even if we break up, Xiaobai won't be able to take revenge on the black cat because he has to deal with the wild fox, so the black cat can sit back and relax."
Isn't the story of this black and white cat just like the relationship between Rakshasa and himself now.The emperor was slightly taken aback, and laughed heartily, "My beloved concubine, my dear concubine, you have awakened the dreamer with just one word."
"Ah? What did the concubine do?" Concubine Yu looked puzzled, stroking the white cat in her arms with a look of confusion, and for some reason, her majesty suddenly became happy, "I'm satisfied if this story can make your majesty happy. "
The emperor scratched the tip of Concubine Yu's nose, "Little confused... I'm in a good mood, and I'll give you any rewards you want."
Seeing that the emperor didn't respond, Concubine Yu said again, "Your Majesty, I'm really curious about the diagram of the mechanism. Can Your Majesty satisfy my curiosity? Show me a little." A disdainful smile appeared in the missing place.
"Aifei, please, why is Aifei suddenly interested in the design of this mechanism?"
"I heard that there are two drawings, and I'm curious which one His Majesty is holding."
"Even if you know it, it's useless. You must have both pictures to open the door to the treasure." The emperor hugged Concubine Yu and sighed softly. The treasure was in front of him but he couldn't eat it.
"Huh? I thought that as long as His Majesty has the first mechanism map, he can get the treasure map first. Once the treasure map is in hand, he can know the location of the treasure place first, and then he can lay an ambush and reap the benefits of the fisherman."
"It's not as simple as you think, without the first key to open it, you can't..." When the emperor said this, he suddenly remembered that Earth Rakshasa, who was allied with him, had the key.Since you are treating me like a white cat, don't blame me for being a black cat instead of a guest. "Hahaha... My concubine, you have woken me up with another question. You go back to the palace first, and I will come to you at night."
"Farewell to Your Majesty." Concubine Yu bowed her body and sighed slightly. If the emperor was not too slow, she didn't need to remind her so blatantly.Regardless of the process, the result is what I want to see, the egg has already cracked a gap.
The emperor strode into the palace and asked Rakshasa, "Didn't you say that it is impossible to fail? What should we do now? Everyone in the court knows that Xue Shura is innocent, and if we try to kill each other now, we will only leave behind the foolish king." title."
"Your Majesty, calm down, I didn't expect this." Sitting on the wheelchair, Di Luosha pushed the wheels and stepped out of the dark shadows.I thought they couldn't find any strong evidence in three days, but I didn't expect that they missed a move and lost.
"Unexpectedly? It sounds good. He is your senior brother. You can't even distinguish between him with a knife and a sword, right? You mentioned the efficacy of the magic grass and the symptoms caused by the blow." Same, don't get suspicious, that person who should have been crazy and stupid stood in front of me and exonerated Blood Shura clearly."
"I was careless, I underestimated them." Xue Shura used to use a sword, why did he suddenly switch to a knife?Di Luosha was puzzled, he didn't think of a reason for the change of inner strength and mind, and there was another problem of weapon change.Are minds and weapons so easy to change?
"I have the first mechanism map in my hand. I want to use the key in your hand to get the treasure map first. As long as the treasure map is in hand, the second mechanism map in the hands of the martial arts leader will be restrained by me. "
"It's not worth the risk. It's better to throw things out and let the people in the world explore the way first." Although he didn't know why the emperor was suddenly so anxious, Di Luosha sincerely persuaded him.
In the eyes of the emperor, Di Luosha's reluctance to cooperate was simply because the key was a one-time use, and it would become invalid after being used.The key is the only bargaining chip in Di Luosha's hand, without this bargaining chip, his use value will be greatly reduced.
"This mistake is yours, which proves that your strategy is useless. Next, you should listen to me. The key is in your hand, and the blueprint is with me. Compared with one person guarding one thing, two people guarding one thing is more secure. The key If it fails, you will be able to divert the eyes of the martial arts world from you. The treasure map is in my hands, which sect in the world dares to ask me for it? As long as the treasure map does not appear in the world, no matter who has a second design map, it is useless .”
Although it feels very bad to be stared at by others, it is still a bit unwilling to hand over the dominance to this stupid emperor.
"Why? You don't want to? I have been very disappointed with the matter of the emperor's brother. Since we can't get things done with you, then I might as well go to the Blood Shura to apologize and form an alliance with them." Seeing the hesitation of Luo Sha, the emperor did not hesitate. Apply pressure politely.
Di Luocha gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists. This was the first time he was suppressed among countless alliances.I have the hot potato of the key in my hand. If the court turns against Blood Shura, it will be very bad for me. The alliance over there is already tricky enough, and I am afraid that I will not be able to blend in the muddy water if I add another one.
"Okay, I'll give you the key." Di Luosha threw out a strangely shaped stone from his arms.
