Chapter 68: Appeasement

Compared with the emperor, Qin Ji's punishment of human criminals is already gentle.

With just one glance, Yu Mingzhi was frightened.

The heart was beating "suddenly", almost jumping out of the mouth. She obediently followed Qin Ji away, and heard a shrill voice asking, "Don't recruit it quickly, otherwise you will have to feed the dog." ”

The people on the ground wept "whining" and could not utter a clear word.

But the interrogators don't care about this, they have to ask the answer that the emperor wants, so that people's lives and dignity are worse than mustard in their eyes.

The ferocious hound howled, and the shrill voice laughed eerily, combined with the "rustle" of the wind through the trees, indescribable horror.

Yu Mingzhi's steps became faster and faster, leaving the miserable screams far behind.

The palace near the enclosure has already arranged the room, because the monarch and the concubine's relatives are stranded in the enclosure and cannot come out, and the palace at night is quiet and far-reaching, and there is no noise to hear.

Zhu'er brought hot water and waited for Yu Mingzhi to freshen up and lie on the bed. Qin Ji held a book in his hand and sat at the table outside.

There was a "crackling" sound in the lantern, which made the palace even quieter.

Therefore, the sound of hurried footsteps was very loud.

"Qin Sheren, the hound smelled the same fragrance of osmanthus on the halberd of a person surnamed Mu in Zuowei, according to Zuowei's people, his wife loves to eat osmanthus cake the most, and also loves the fragrance of osmanthus the most, so the family has the fragrance of osmanthus all the year round. People have been in such an environment for a long time, and naturally their clothes are also stained. At this time, Zhang Gongcheng was interrogating Mou Zhiji severely. Also, the groom couldn't stand the torture and was already dead, and the emperor ordered his body to be thrown into the tiger pen. ”

Yu Mingzhi sat on the bed and listened quietly to the narration.

When the last sentence was spoken, the bloody image of the corpse being torn apart by the beast involuntarily came to mind.

She frowned, and heard Qin Ji say: "Tell Lao Zhang to pay attention, there is also a way to use torture that does not show injuries on the surface, why make people scarred all over their bodies, make people tremble when they see it, and spread it out that the emperor is a tyrant." ”

The person who came responded: "The lower official knows, and he will definitely convey this sentence to Gonggong Zhang." Qin Sheren, please rest early, that Mu Zhiji is also a hard-mouthed person, the emperor sent someone to arrest his family, I'm afraid he will have to make trouble for a night. ”

Qin Ji said: "What about Gu Shilang and Yan Shilang, and what about Zhao Shangshuling's group?"

The emperor was tired of listening to their quarrels, and told them to shut up and wait to see what Mu Zhiji would say. Qin Sheren, please rest assured, Yan Shilang knows how to be careful. ”

Qin Ji nodded and waved his hand to tell the man to stand back.

After the door was closed, Qin Ji walked to the edge of the curtain tent and said inside, "Did Zhizhi hear that?"

"Hmm. Yu Mingzhi replied softly.

Qin Ji said: "Sleep, no one will come back and forth for a long time." Instead of sitting empty, it is better to sleep well and recuperate enough to watch a good show tomorrow. Those who murdered your father, and their henchmen, will never recover. ”

He spoke, his tone rising slightly at the end.

Yu Mingzhi heard it in his ears, and there was a very light "um" sound.

She went back to bed lightly, and Zhu'er covered her with a quilt and re-prepared tea and put it at the head of the bed.

Yu Mingzhi turned over and lay on his side facing in, and only closed his eyes when he heard that he was finally quiet behind him.

But she couldn't sleep, and her mind was always churning the picture of the bloody groom and the corpse being torn by the tiger, and even the dark memories of the government prison were overwhelming. She raised her hand and rubbed the corner of her forehead, where the cramping pain made it harder for her to sleep.

At this moment, the ethereal and long flute sounded.

is still the song played by Qin Ji on the way back to Beijing.

The sound of the flute soothes the mind.

Yu Mingzhi listened intently to the sound of the flute, as if he could dispel the terrible picture in his mind.

I don't know when I fell asleep, when Yu Mingzhi woke up, it was already dark, and the candle at the bedside was blown out.

Zhu'er came in with hot water and greeted her with a smile, "Miss, you woke up, it just so happened that breakfast was just prepared, and it was all ordered by Gongzi himself." Miss, the slave will wait for you to wash up. ”

Yu Mingzhi rubbed his forehead twice, he didn't feel any discomfort, and he didn't have a nightmare last night.

Thanks to Qin Ji.

Yu Mingzhi silently cleaned up, and when he came to the outside room, he saw Qin Ji sitting at the table calmly, the white porridge on the table was steaming, and under the corridor outside, a tall and thin figure was leaving in a hurry.

Qin Ji grabbed her hand and pulled her to the seat next to her and sat down, "After making a fuss all night, there is finally news." ”
