In the hall of the post station, a group of men, women and children bowed their heads and knelt on the ground in black. The lowered faces all had a look of respect and fear, just because of the man in front of him who was leisurely drinking tea, the seemingly calm atmosphere could not suppress the wild beating in their hearts.

"Lord Liang's leisure is good, and at the critical moment, he is still in the mood to take his wife and children out to play, such a spring breeze is proud, even this king is beyond the reach of the dust!" Xiahou Yichen sat above, looking at the person kneeling below with a smile on his eyebrows and said. That lazy look, for some reason, always gives people a sense of arrogance and conceit.

"The prince spared his life, and the officials confessed. Kneeling at the front, Liang Wenzhan, dressed in cloth, replied tremblingly.

A smile rolled up at the corner of Xiahou Yichen's mouth, and he said lightly: "Since you are guilty, you dare to call yourself a subordinate official." You have been an official for a long time, and you have even forgotten the rules. Or is the emperor far away from the high mountains and the emperor takes yourself as a rule?"

Before the trial began, he came down first, and took off his official hat mercilessly. The kneeling crowd lowered their heads more and more nervously, for fear of accidentally losing them. Xiahou Yichen's disdainful expression flashed away, and he continued: "That's it, or what crimes have you committed?"

"Criminals should not shirk their responsibilities, leave their posts without permission, and put the safety of the people at risk. A qiē guilt, the guilty minister is willing to bear it, and also asks the prince to be merciful and forgive the guilty minister's family. Liang Wenzhi was still a little self-aware, and he did not hesitate to admit his guilt and take all the blame on himself.

When the words fell, the cry paused, "Son"

"Husband"

"Daddy" several different voices sounded at the same time.

The old woman below immediately cried and pleaded: "The prince is gracious, please ask the prince to be gracious." There is only one son in the grass people's lineage, if you really want to deal with it, you can dispose of me. It's me who didn't teach him well, and I'm guilty. The screams were heartbroken and desolate.

Hearing his mother's intercession for him, Liang Wenzhi secretly glanced at Xiahou Yichen, and dissuaded him in embarrassment: "Mother, why are you so hard, it is natural for your son to be guilty and punished." You are old, you should have children and grandchildren around your knees, but it is your son's unfilial piety that makes you suffer. ”

"Daddy, Daddy, don't leave us, Daddy、、、" As if to match his words, the two children next to the old woman began to cry more and more.

Seeing this, the Wang family of the main room also took the remaining two concubines and maid entourage, and kept kowtowing and pleading, "The prince is gracious, beg the prince to be gracious, forgive my master, how can we live without him." ”

Xiahou Yichen's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the bottom of his eyes as black as ink reflected a thousand graces. Before he could say anything, the show was about to begin. Those who know know that he is trying the case, and those who don't know think that he is bullying others. But as soon as he cried to death, he tried to disturb his thoughts and win his sympathy, and he was really fooled like a three-year-old child.

"Hmph" snorted disdainfully, softer than the feathers floating in the air. But the kneeling people below trembled unconsciously, and the crying and noisy noise suddenly stopped, and there was silence for a while.

"Have you cried enough? If you don't cry enough, you continue, and if you cry enough, you're talking about what other sins you have committed. Although this king is not in a very good mood, he can still reluctantly appreciate the life and death parting drama of your family. The joking voice was not moved in the slightest, and said calmly.

Liang Wenzhi's back stiffened, pulled the corners of his mouth, and spit out a sentence with a weak heart, "No, it's gone." ”

"Oh, it's really gone?" Xiahou Yichen smiled quietly, dazzling with charm, and his burning eyes forced Liang Wenzhi to look at him, making him feel a perspective that had nowhere to hide. "That King Ben has some questions here, I really have to ask Lord Liang. The king had recently looked through the harvest records of the previous three years and the various official records of tax payments. Judging from the above records, although the harvest was somewhat unsatisfactory, there was still no problem with food and clothing, food and lodging. This time caused the plague, why did the people be displaced and food and shelter became a problem, the people of this king's faction even searched countless moldy grains from Lord Liang's private warehouse? Also, Yan Li was remote and poor, and the tax was obviously halved, why was there still not a single grain of official records, just like the taxes in other places? Where did the other half of the grain and silver go? These are the questions that make this king unbelievable, and Lord Liang should carefully explain them to this king. ”

Xiahou Yichen's lukewarm voice calmly and calmly put forward one question after another. Liang Wenzhi's keen mind made Liang Wenzhi chuckle in his heart, how could he forget that the person in front of him was the legendary moody and wanton King Chen.

Legend has it that he has the wisdom of insight, the arrogance and domineering, and the charm of the peerless face. No matter when, where, or what, his signature smile always makes people inadvertently fall into his trap, and no one can grasp the true joys, sorrows, and sorrows in his heart. At the age of fifteen, he went to the battlefield and spent three months repelling the Heavenly Kingdom that had been confronting the Dragon Shadow Kingdom for three years. Since then, the First World War has become famous all over the world.

Sure enough, it is better to be famous than to meet, and if you bump into him today, you will undoubtedly dig your own grave. Thinking of this, Liang Wenzhi couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe his sweat, knelt on the ground with a blank face, and did not move for a long time.

"Hey, don't be silent, Lord Liang, this king is still waiting for you to solve your doubts!" As he spoke, Xiahou Yichen kindly threw the wet towel on the table to wipe his hands in front of Liang Wenzhi.

"Thanks... Thank you. Liang Wenzhi trembled and picked up the towel on the ground and wiped it a few more times, and the fear in his heart gradually increased. Who knows all the problems of Yan Li better than him, the initiator. Before leaving, in order to prevent the incident in the east window, he carefully took precautions. But he didn't want to cover it up perfectly in his opinion, but it was still full of loopholes. Only now do I understand that what he did is, in the eyes of the person in front of him, just a clown jumping off the beam.

Xiahou Yichen picked up the teacup and took a sip without hurry, before he asked slowly: "Lord Liang, do you know what a wolf who has been hungry for three days and three nights will be like?"

Although it was Liang Wenzhi who asked, it made everyone's hearts tremble. The wolf, who has been hungry for three days and three nights, needless to say, knows that when he sees it, he must be as ferocious as a tiger. Thinking of this possibility, everyone trembled, and the timid even trembled. kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Lord, spare your life, Lord, spare your life." ”

"Mother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I don't want to feed the wolves. Liang Wenzhi's two sons and daughters were so frightened that they hid in Wang's arms.

Xiahou Yichen's gaze swept over the kneeling people below one by one, and he couldn't see any trace of love in his deep eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, since Lord Liang can't think of an answer, this king can help you think about it." The lazy voice carried a hint of laziness, and said, making a look at Nan Ze next to him.

Nan Ze nodded and shouted, "Come on, take Lord Liang and them down to wake up." With his words, a group of guards came in, dragging Liang Wenyi and others and others outside.

"I don't want to feed the wolves, I don't want to feed the wolves, lord, spare your life. Seeing them do it, Liang Wenzhi's wife and concubine begged for mercy and couldn't beg for mercy, and they fainted to death in fright. The men in his entourage were also like mud, so frightened that they didn't even have the strength to resist, so they could only let the guards take them out.

In the fence outside, there was a hungry and skinny wolf, lying on the ground without energy, and sometimes let out a few wails weakly.

Liang Wenzhi bore the brunt of the heavy push into the fence by the guards, and the rest were thrown outside the fence. Looking at the delicacies that suddenly broke into its territory, the wild wolf swallowed saliva with green eyes, slowly got up from the ground, and pounced viciously to eat.

Everyone knows that wolves in extreme hunger, especially wild wolves in the mountains, are more dangerous and ferocious than usual. Liang Wenzhi was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he dodged the attack of the wild wolf while holding his head and running around the mouse. While shouting in horror: "Lord, lord, the guilty minister is guilty, guilty." Please open the net, I will definitely know everything, and I will say everything. If he was a little hesitant before, now he regrets it a lot. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. King Chen's superb methods of torturing people, he had never seen before, but he had heard a lot. Now, it is truly fulfilled in him. Liang Wenzhi regretted it at this moment, and his intestines were blue.

Just went in and began to beg for mercy, such a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he also dares to play tricks in front of his master, and he can't do anything about himself. Nan Ze stood to the side, with a playful expression on his face, and his eyes were full of disdain.

"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, Lord Liang should be kind, and giving a few pieces of meat to feed it can be regarded as a merit. Xiahou Yichen stood on the steps with his hands in his hands, kindly persuading Liang Wenzhi, who was fleeing in fright.

"Ahh When have the family members outside the fence seen such a scene, they were disgusted and frightened, faint and stunned. The fear in my heart is wave after wave, for fear that the next person to feed the wolf is myself.

Liang Wenzhi clasped his hands around and fell to the ground wailing and rolling, clearly feeling that the sharp teeth were like sharp weapons, tearing off his flesh piece by piece. The pain in his heart made him faint and faint, and he couldn't die. The darkness of fear and despair finally made the last shred of his sanity collapse, "Lord, the guilty minister is guilty, please give me a chance, I am also instructed." ”

In an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard, a thin young man quietly left while everyone was not paying attention. Nan Ze looked at the figure that was about to be news, and reminded in a low voice: "Master, the person has already left." ”

Xiahou Yichen's charming smile deepened a little, and he glanced at Liang Wen sarcastically. In order for the plan to go smoothly, he didn't mind being kind enough to let the man have a little more leisure. "That's it for today, and I'm going as planned. After speaking, he looked up at the sky, it was still early, he could take a rest, recuperate and wait for the evening to watch a good show.

After the young man left the inn, he sneakily ran forward quickly, came to a remote no-man's corner outside the street, looked around cautiously for a while, and anxiously put a blue signal.

Two quarters of an hour later, a man in black appeared behind the man out of thin air, and scolded coldly: "Put a signal in broad daylight, are you looking for death?" Xiahou Yichen seemed to be casual and free, but he was really thoughtful and clear, his power was all over the place, not to mention a small Yan Li. The streets where people come and go outside, maybe there are his secret guards among them, and if they are discovered by him, the fate is not something they can bear.

The ruthless words made the young man's face instantly turn a little whiter, he didn't understand what the man in black meant, after all, he had just seen Xiahou Yichen's methods with his own eyes. Thinking of the scene of Liang Wenzhi being gnawed by a wild wolf and licking blood, he still has a chill in his heart. It's just that the matter is urgent, and he can't care about it so much, "The situation is urgent, and we can't delay." ”

"What's wrong?" the man in black was obviously impatient, he was now waiting for the next step of the young lady's plan, if he was delayed by the person in front of him, he would not spare him.

"Liang Wenzhi has been arrested, and now Xiahou Yichen is being interrogated, in case he can't resist and open his mouth, then the consequences will be ....... ”

The man in black's eyes flashed, this thing that was not enough to succeed and more than to fail, it was really no good to count on him. Fortunately, they had prepared in advance, otherwise the matter would have been revealed, and it would be a ** annoyance. Sinking his eyes, he thought for a moment, "It's okay, I will go back to report this matter to Qi Niang and Miss, the master has already given an order, if things change, he will be solved directly, so as not to cause trouble." As he spoke, he made a motion to wipe his neck.

The young man asked with a solemn expression, "When will you do it?" Liang Wenzhi had already been thrown to feed the wolf, and he was frightened. ”

"If nothing else, it should be tonight, I will go back and make a good plan with Qi Niang, and take the opportunity to solve Liang Wenzhi and carry out an assassination at the same time. The black-clothed man's sharp eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he approached the young man's ear and whispered softly. Then he said, "Do you understand? After you are done, you go back, continue to pay attention to their movements, and contact them at any time if there is a situation." After speaking, the figure of the man in black flashed, and disappeared without a trace, just like when he came.

When the news finally got out, the young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I complained in my heart: why is he so unlucky, and the drudgery that others don't do falls on him. In the past few days by Xiahou Yichen's side, he has not eaten and slept well, and the invisible pressure is almost suffocating him. After carefully observing the surrounding situation, he strode away, walked onto the lively street, and blended into the crowd.

In the shadow of the corner, two dark guards appeared, looking at each other and nodding with a tacit understanding, and quickly went back to their lives.
