Chapter 196: Hatred is clear

In the dungeon full of the atmosphere of the epidemic, Zeng Guogong, who was still in good spirits during the court trial a few days ago, was covered with bruises and bruises from passive torture at this moment, and his white prison clothes had long been soaked in blood and rags, and he was imprisoned alone in the Xuantie cage, while the rest of the people were all imprisoned in the water prison in the rear, but they were still wailing just now, but now they are a lot quieter.

Several gray rats sprang out from under him, squeaking and crawling up his hair.

But at this moment, Zeng Zhenhai had no strength to raise his hand, he never dreamed that in just a few days, because of the unveiling of the secret box, the Zeng Manchus were beaten into prison.

After the triing, there was no arraignment, only the continuous torture and forced confessions in turn.

He was shocked by the emperor's sudden thunderous methods, you must know that there are many factions in the Zeng family, there is no shortage of important positions in the court and the central government of the convicted clansmen in prison, and protégés are all over the states and counties, and suddenly they are so uprooted that they are not afraid of shaking the country's capital and causing turmoil in the imperial court?

The queen and the Lan family have been using the secret and key of this secret box to threaten the Zeng family to take the lead of their Lan family, and it is even more important for his proud eldest son to become a dark chess piece that cannot see the light, and now the Zeng family has fallen so quickly, the Lan family has made great contributions, but they are not afraid of rabbits and dogs!

He sneered.

How could the secret mine of Weituo Mountain be discovered, he had no way to find out, maybe it was a mistake from the beginning when he assigned Zeng Youting to go to Luoluo City, blaming himself for cherishing feathers too much, the only remaining second son Zeng Xiao, he didn't want to lose a cent, so he moved the people in the second room, but he didn't expect that just because of the insignificant pawn of the Gu family in the second room, he actually broke the hope of getting rid of the crime.

"Lord Zeng. A dark shadow appeared outside the cell door, silent.

Zeng Zhenhai raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief, "This is the dungeon, how did you get in?"

"Is it true that the Vedosan thing?"

Zeng Zhenhai looked around the iron prison and found that there was no trace of the jailer, and looked at the eldest son with a complicated expression: "Yes." ”

"Is it true that the Heavenly Ridge Jade is also from the veins of Weituo Mountain?" Wu Huan, that is, Zeng Jiqing, he ignored his father's scarred injuries, and his indifferent and ruthless eyes just stared at Zeng Zhenhai and asked coldly.

"Not bad. He wanted to explain that when the news reached him, the Tianji Jade had been taken away by Jia Luo's side, otherwise he would never let this treasure fall into the hands of the enemy, but in the face of his son's cold eyes, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, "The Zeng family has suffered this catastrophe, and they can't turn over, the Lan family is too deceitful, and there is something in the secret pavilion of the Zeng Mansion treasury that can put the Lan family to death, you know how to open it." ”

Wu Huan didn't care about the Lan family at all, and he had no interest in the things of the Secret Pavilion, he just asked: "In addition to the veins of Weituo Mountain, do you know that there are similar veins elsewhere?"

Zeng Zhenhai's eyebrows wrinkled: "No, you..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Wuhuan turn around to leave, and he hurriedly said: "Ji Qing!"

Wu Huan's body was shocked, although he didn't look back, he still stopped, "How?"

"Dad knows that the Zeng family has failed you, there is only one thing, take Ah Xiao out, you can go anywhere, as long as he lives, there is still hope for the Zeng family to recover!"

Wu Huan turned around suddenly, and his pale face appeared with a faintly angry expression: "He is alive, and the Zeng family has hope of recovery?" His pale thin lips hooked up endless irony, "This is the reason why the family gave up my sick body in the first place?"

"Ji Qing, the family has never given up on you, but just sent you away from the royal capital to recuperate! Do you know that the Lan family is trying to kill you..."Zeng Guogong crawled to the edge of the cage and explained hoarsely, but was interrupted by Wu Huan.

"If I hadn't met Yun Niang and carefully protected each other all the way, I would never have survived to Beizhuang and died on the road!" Wu Huan's face twitched because of hatred, "Even if I recovered later and returned to the Zeng family, the Zeng family's mansion avoided me like a snake and scorpion and turned me away, I thought that I was no longer a member of the Zeng family! For my mother, I have collected girls from all over the world for the queen over the years to send them to the palace, and I have also devoted myself to planning for the Zeng family's foreign aid, and now I have already repaid the grace of parenting, and I have nothing to do with your Zeng family!"

Zeng Guogong grabbed the iron railing, grabbed the hem of his silver-flowing robe, and said fiercely: "Ji Qing, at that time, Master Qiong Zhi personally diagnosed and treated you, asserting that your poison spread too fast to save you, and the imperial doctor was even more helpless, and that Yun Niang of unknown origin resurrected you in just one night as soon as she appeared! Your words and deeds at that time were no longer Zeng Jiqing! For the sake of the Zeng family, my father can only send you out of the royal capital! Ji Qing! This is all the queen's conspiracy! Since she was the crown princess, the Lan family has been serving a demon! You never doubted Yun Niang's identity, she may have been sent by the queen..."

"That's enough!" Wuhuan flicked his sleeves and patted Zeng Guogong's hands, and said coldly: "Not only are you secretly collaborating with the enemy and treason, but you are also not in the same stream as the Lan family and serving the demons together? Now in order to deceive me and rescue Zeng Xiao, you fool me with such a ridiculous lie, do you think I am still the young and ignorant Zeng Jiqing back then? Do you know why there is no sound in the water dungeon?"

He squinted his eyes and looked coldly at Zeng Guogong's shocked and angry expression: "Because, I have already sent them on the road!hahahaha..."

Le Zheng received an order from Lord Zhongcheng, saying that the father-in-law was going to come to the Imperial Prison today to see the Zeng family, and he immediately rushed to the gate of the Imperial Prison and waited.

I admired the father-in-law I saw that day and was a little jealous, and I always felt that this white-headed father-in-law was very demonic, especially a pair of eyes that were clear and sharp, piercing people's hearts, and people didn't dare to look at them directly.

However, waiting for a man and a woman in black suits, the woman was covered with black veils and silver threads, and the man behind her had a cold face, exuding a cold and murderous aura.

He frowned, and when he met the woman's eyes, he finally reacted, "Father-in-law..."

You Xue nodded, she held the jade plate given to her by the emperor and flickered in his eyes: "Last time, it was just for convenience, please don't blame the adults." Nanxing, the folk girl, is the staff of the Rui Wangfu, so please ask Lord Le Zheng to lead the way. ”

Although Le Zheng was full of suspicion, he still bowed, turned around and motioned to the guards to open the iron door, and led the two into the edict of the Tingwei Mansion.

The prison was as dark as a netherworld, and the moldy and filthy air was oppressive and damp, and through the dark room full of torture instruments in the forty-seven halls, through the Zhaoyan Gate, I could faintly hear the heart-rending howls coming from inside.

The two prison wardens in front of them stepped forward to wave at Le Zheng, and then silently continued to lead the way, and several faint candle stands on the two walls suddenly shook, and You Xue saw that a prison warden in front of him had pressed a bracket, and a stone step leading to the ground slowly extended down.

Her white eyebrows raised slightly, and her memory flashed through the underground stone chamber of the Luocheng County Guard's Mansion, and inexplicable emotions flashed in her heart.

Le Zheng turned around and was about to ask them to pay attention to their feet, when he saw You Xue's strange eyes, he was stunned in his heart, and explained with a light cough: "This is an edict from the king to detain the Zeng family alone in the underground prison. ”

You Xue was surprised in her heart, why did the emperor mercilessly beat the Zeng family into mud before he was convicted?

She nodded slightly, motioning for Le Zheng to continue leading the way.

However, the end of the dark road was quiet and weird, and the two wardens couldn't help but speed up their pace, and Le Zheng and You Xue Asui also followed.

Soon came to the prison door where Zeng Guogong was being held, only to see Zeng Guogong covering his heart, his face was gray and hideous, and he was half-leaning against the iron bar, as if he had a heart disease and died suddenly?

The warden hurriedly opened the cage and went in to check, You Xue also squatted down and pressed his carotid artery, and sure enough, he died.

Soon the jailers rushed over, and the corpses of the Zeng family were floating in the water prison behind, which was like a terrifying scene like Shura purgatory, and even the jailers who had been stationed in the prison all the year round vomited with nausea, and the high-spirited noble son Zeng Xiao in his memory was directly pinched off by someone.

You Xue returned to Zeng Guogong's corpse, her eyes fell on the stiff knuckles of his clenched fists covering his chest, and his gaze froze, and a silver silk thread was embedded in the gap between his thumbs.
