Gao Xu walked into the room and smelled the lingering smell of medicine, which made him not know what to think, so he stood still at the door for a while.

"My lord," the doctor who came out with the medicine jar saw Gao Xu, and hurriedly saluted, "Madame just drank the medicine and fell asleep." ”

This is the famous Chunxuan Hall in Jinan City, the ancestor of the doctor who sat in the hall began to practice medicine from the Southern Song Dynasty, benevolent and benevolent, and enjoyed the reputation of the apricot forest. This time, Chunxuantang provided a lot of medicinal materials for free to treat the homeless.

Gao Xu snorted and said, "How is she doing?"

"Unconscious, trismus, sputum and salivation, and a flood of pulses," said the doctor, "fever, chills, headache, neck stiffness, and joint pain...... This is due to emotional depression. ”

Gao Xu heard "emotional depression", and his mandible seemed to rattle lightly, and he said, "What's the prescription?"

"A prescription for soothing the liver and relieving qi. The doctor said: "But my prescription is a rule, not a rule." I said that there is another party, which is a famous prescription handed down by the master of Wuji in the Tang Dynasty, and it must be stronger than me. ”

Gao Xu said, "Then why don't you use his prescription? Is it that the medicine is not easy to find?"

"That's not it," the doctor said, "This medicine is convenient for compassion, a good stomach, gentle half a tael, three points of reason, and no matter how much it is convenient." This medicine is fried in a wide heart pot, not burned, not dry, to the fire for three points, and crushed in an equal basin. Three thoughts are the end, and the six paramitas are pills, such as Bodhi seeds. Take three servings a day, regardless of the time, and send it down with Japanese soup. If you can take it according to this, you will be free from illness and disease. ”

Gao Xu snorted and ignored him, and the doctor walked away with interest.

Stretched out his hand to open the curtain, but saw that the woman on the bed had a red and hot face, her eyes were closed, her eyelids were moving, and she seemed to be in a half-drowsy dreaming of something very troublesome.

"Brother Chun'er......" she called indistinctly: "Brother Shou'er......"

Gao Xu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at it for a while, then suddenly put his hand into the quilt. He hadn't actually encountered anything, but she had opened her eyes in fright.

"The play is not good either," Gao Xu sighed, "Aren't women very good at deceiving people?"

Zhang Zhaohua couldn't pretend anymore, so he turned over and got up: "Do you still give me a way to live?"

"Here," Gao Xu said slowly, "tell me what kind of life you want." ”

Zhang Zhaohua is really poor in skills this time, she found that all her means, all her thoughts, are all hidden here in Gao Xu, she has nothing to do, but she doesn't want to be at the mercy of others, and finally can only say: "You let me go back, you are so paranoid, there is no result." ”

"Whatever the result is, I have the final say. Gao Xu said.

"What's the result, you can't control people's hearts," Zhang Zhaohua said: "I'm just unwilling, unwilling, I don't have a good face for you, I don't really love you, you say you want me like this, what are you doing?"

Gao Xu didn't speak, the room was empty, and even the sound of the sergeants outside practicing was clear.

"The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang don't pay attention. The sound of the corners on all sides rose from all sides, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset and the lonely city ......was closed, "The song that the sergeants sang during the drill was not Qin Feng without clothes, nor was it the Nine Songs of National Martyrdom - this made Zhang Zhaohua's heart move.

"Hengyang," she said in a low voice: "There is a mountain in Hengyang, called Huiyanfeng, do you know? There is a temple on that peak, called Yanfeng Temple. There is a couplet at the temple gate—"

The big dream suddenly smells the clock, let him be misty and rainy, and should wake up;

"Everything in the world is like a dream," Gao Xu said unmoved: "Ancient and modern times are also like dreams, how can you ever dream?"

Zhang Zhaohua saw him walk to the door, and finally said, "Gao Xu!"

"In this case, why bother with the love of children?" she said sharply: "Why not play the world, if you win, I am yours, and I am willing to have no more complaints! If you lose, then open the box for me to inspect the pomegranate skirt!"

Gao Xu's hand holding the door paused slightly.

"All right," he said, as if he wanted to keep the moment in mind, "as you wish." ”

Chen Ying leaned against the cold corner, his eyes were almost invisible, and the pain in his body seemed to be gone. Such torture day and night made his brain dull, but it was also at this time that he finally recalled the life he had been reluctant to think about.

Why don't you want to think about it, because his life is accompanied by endless killing and blood, a life of short-lived glory and deep sin.

At that time, he was full of the ideal of Jun Yaoshun, hanging the beam and stabbing the strands, reading at night; successfully entered Taixue, met like-minded companions, and made an appointment to govern the country and the people together, and make contributions together...... But these companions, they were all implicated in the martyrdom of Renwu either voluntarily or forcedly, and with resentment towards him, they perished.

At that time, he could still point to these people and scold them for being stubborn and ignorant of current affairs, and not seeing the destiny of heaven, so he had to use such an invisible power as his own body to exchange for a reputation of loyalty, as if such a reputation could make them die without hatred. But we should know that those who die will eventually die, and those who survive have the right to speak.

Chen Ying is not like Ji Gang, he is a real person with a cruel nature, who takes pleasure in torturing others - he does not hesitate to be notorious, and when he welcomes the king, he is indeed to gain power, and to gain power, he wants to realize his original intention of correcting the king and picketing the evils of the times, and wants to make the good people have a trust, and the treacherous bandits have nothing to do.

He could not say that he had a clear conscience, in fact, he was often tormented by his conscience, because he firmly believed that everything he had done could achieve the ideal of serving the country and saving the people, and he personally removed those people who thought that they were thorns on the road to the ideal. But now he has no way to defend his ideals, and he deserves to be crucified on the pillar of shame and not to turn over.

Faces at all stages of his life appeared in front of his eyes like mirrors, reflecting his countless days and nights when they were either glorious or ugly, and finally stayed on a relieved face.

“…… To live in this world is to prove one's worth. Chen Ying, I can see your value, it's just that the emperor used you in the wrong place, but today is yesterday, some people live to be forty years old, only to know that the previous forty years have been lived in vain, so he became a newcomer in the future. ”

The crown princess, it's been a long time, and she won't see you again.

He and the crown princess were just walking together because of the same goal at the beginning, and then he also took care of so many unknown things for her, he was the emperor's pawn, but he was also the secret arrow in the princess's hand, but he clearly knew that these two people were not the same.

The emperor has been obsessed with power for too long, and the heart of pursuing merit is too strong, and he has not received the affirmation from Emperor Gao, he wants to get it from the mouths of future generations, when he died to survive, and he finally lived, no one could stop him from living wantonly. I have to say that the emperor was born to be an emperor, because he has such a great insight into people, he discovered these people, saw the material of these people, but these people can only be turned into what he wants in his hands, and he will never ask Do you want this?

Chen Ying thought that all the people in power were like this, but the crown princess still surprised him. She seemed to see her own disobedience, she said that the emperor should have appointed a person like Ma Lin Ding Jue to be the imperial history of the Zuodu, because they are like this, and you Chen Ying should have been a good minister.

Chen Ying heard the sound of blood dripping, and he knew that those people were crazy about torture to extract confessions, obviously to get a confession from here that was unfavorable to her, and what a ridiculous thing at this time. He finally picked up his dignity the moment he left Beijing, and now once he loosens his mouth, there will be nothing left.

He knew that he was the last witness in Li Zhen's case, and even if he was escorted to the capital, Ji Gang could rely on the crimes he had done in the past with real evidence, so that he could not turn over, he had no choice between death and life, only how to die seemed to be still in his hands.

He can use how to die to achieve a turnaround.

When a person dies, those deeds are vanished along with their sins. But the living can use their own death to make a great article - and he can be regarded as repaying the princess for her kindness.

This mood is probably the same as the feeling of Yu Rang, who hid under the bridge many years ago and waited for Zhao Xiangzi's car to pass by on the bridge. Yu Rang, who single-handedly avenged Zhibo, why did he assassinate Zhao Xiangzi even after all the people in the world, it may be because you picked me up from the crowd, came out, treated me differently, gave me space to display my talents, and gave me unparalleled trust and courtesy, the world is so big, but only you understand me - then I live for you and die for you, it's just ordinary.

"I still can't open my mouth," Yuan Jiang said indignantly: "The governor is urging tightly, how can you and I explain? ”

"I don't think I can get a confession," Li Qian said, "just don't make a confession, as long as he signs and draws the confession." ”

"The hand bones are also broken," Yuan Jiang said, "How to sign?"

"My lord, my subordinates will take over the bones," Li Yigui, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, said, "as long as the bones are not broken." ”

"Then you come along. Li Qian said.

Li Yigui followed cautiously, the hand in his sleeve trembled slightly, he received an order from his superiors to kill Chen Ying - although Chen Ying had been crippled and almost half dead, he was still a few steps away from death. However, when they opened the door, they saw the prisoner leaning motionless against the wall, and in the dim light of the lamp, the man was dead.

Yuan Jiang's legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground. And Li Qian stepped forward with a pale face and touched Chen Ying's corpse for a while before confirming that this person was indeed dead.

"How did he die?" Li Qian roared: "You can not be punished without severity!"

He was right, the Jinyi guards involved in the interrogation were specially trained, they first had to prevent the prisoners from committing suicide, they would remove the prisoner's jaws, and even pull out the prisoner's tongue so that they could not bite their tongues and kill themselves; in order to prevent them from hitting the wall or touching the pillar and die, the Jinyi guards would even lock their pipa bones and even collarbones. Whenever a prisoner bleeds excessively, these people even have various methods to stop the bleeding, in short, it is impossible for the prisoner to die during the interrogation.

Li Yigui carefully touched Chen Ying's body, and then he found a piece of iron under Chen Ying's body.

He soon realized that this was a piece that Chen Ying picked off from the clip, and when he clamped his fingers with the clip, Chen Ying actually picked off an inch, and the general hammer was made of thick and tough bamboo, but Jinyiwei's hammer was an iron piece, and if he couldn't clip it for a moment, his finger bones were almost broken.

"Quick," Li Qian asked another hundred households to come over: "Hurry up and conduct an autopsy, how did he die!"

Li Yigui quietly hid the iron piece in his sleeve, and no one noticed the whole process.

At this moment, the lights suddenly brightened outside, and the noisy sound came from far and near. The Jinyi guards guarding the house found that thousands of people had come to Wuyang and surrounded the Zhou house.

"What are you going to do?" said Jin Yiwei angrily.

"Jinyi Wei has no king's law, and robs the people's daughters," led by an official in a green robe: "Caused Wang Laohan's family to be separated and committed suicide! This official is a local parent in Zhenjiang, how can he connive at your Jinyi Wei to be so evil!"

Yuan Jiang then remembered that on the way to Zhou's house, he fell in love with a woman who looked quite cute, and brought it to Zhou's house without saying a word.
