Chapter 222: Darkness
Under Chi Bi's pleas, Xiao Lei looked at her with a complicated face, and finally agreed to her request, in the huge cell of the Yamen, only damp and dark remained, Chi Bi was not the first time to enter the cell, but this time, she didn't know what happened, she only felt that her heart was trembling, as if something bad would happen, as soon as Chi Bi thought of this, the scene in front of her became more and more dim, and Xiao Lei in front of her, she couldn't see the look on his face at the moment, she could only follow Xiao Lei step by step towards the dim lights。
I don't know how long it took to turn around, but the two finally stopped in a dim place.
"This is it. It was Xiao Lei's deep voice, just like what Chi Bi expected, there were indeed many guards guarding this place, heavily guarded, and one by one they were even more unsmiling, even if Xiao Lei was in front of him, he still stopped him, and only said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince has instructed that no one is allowed to approach, and please forgive the prince!"
Chi Bi's eyes widened, he didn't expect Xiao Lei to have a time when he couldn't do it, but Xiao Lei didn't care much, he just smiled lightly, but the waist card on his waist fell into his hand all of a sudden, and only said, "At this time, the emperor's token, seeing this, is it still because you want to resist the will and disrespect it?" As soon as Xiao Lei's words came out, everyone looked at each other, although there was a frightened look on their faces, but one by one they still stood upright.
And Chi Bi looked at these guards, and felt more and more that the cold hair was upside down, and sure enough, the emperor's words were still insignificant compared to Prince Ning's orders. She could only watch as the guards suddenly knelt down one by one, showing a humble expression, but their words were still determined without hesitation. "Please also ask the prince to forgive his sins, and his subordinates will forgive him!" There is no doubt about it, and Xiao Lei's face is becoming more and more ugly.
"Do you know how much of a sin it is to resist the decree and not respect death? Zhulian Nine Clans, it is an easy thing, and you are just a small guard, if you want to get drunk, it is an easy thing, which is more serious. Thinking about it, you will naturally understand in your hearts that although this is Uncle Ninghuang's order, it's just that this king and Miss Chi Bi just want to take a look. Even so, can't you be accommodating? Now that your group has refuted the king's words, it is already the king's final bottom line. In the end, it was already murderous, but Chi Bi heard it. She only felt a piercing chill that had arisen from the bottom of her heart for a while, she didn't know how to do it, she could only look at Xiao Lei in front of her in a daze, whose face was finally completely gloomy, and listened to his unceremonious cold voice, only to feel that her heart involuntarily shivered again. As soon as Xiao Lei said this, everyone looked at each other, as if they fell into a silent hesitation, for a long time, but they could only respond, after all, it was the dignified prince standing in front of him, if the prince wanted them to die, wouldn't it be easy? !
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Chi Bi's eyes widened suddenly, revealing an extremely excited look, but she didn't rejoice too early, although the guards guarding outside the cell gave in, but it was just a concession, only allowed Chi Bi to take a look at Rong Chen from a distance, Chi Bi was not allowed to get close, let alone Chi Bi was allowed to talk to Rong Chen or other contact, although Chi Bi was a little unwilling, but she knew that this was already the greatest tolerance, so she hurriedly agreed, Chi Bi was quickly brought in, but Xiao Lei did not mean to go in, Chi Bi looked at Xiao Lei with some doubts, but only heard him say"Just go in, I'll be waiting for you here." It didn't seem to be the prince and the common people between the words, but it was an ordinary conversation between the ordinary two, Chi Bi's heart warmed, nodded his head, and then trembled his steps, and slowly followed into the cell, but at this time, she only felt that there was a sudden smell of blood spreading on the tip of her nose, Chi Bi was more and more flustered, that is, her steps were slightly disordered, and she didn't notice it, but at this moment, Chi Bi, if she turned around, she could see it, Xiao Lei, who was standing behind her, had a gloomy look on her face, although she didn't know what he was thinking, but she didn't think of anything good after all。
Chi Bi soon saw Rong Chen, who was locked in the deepest corner of the cell, and at this moment, she stopped all of a sudden, but she couldn't help but gasp, and couldn't help crying, she was anxious to rush over, but those guards restrained her mercilessly at this time, making Chi Bi unable to move, she could only watch Rong Chen, who was huddled in the corner, beaten to the flesh, tears couldn't stop falling, Rong Chen at this time, it should be very painful!
And when Chi Bi finally came out of the cell, she was dragged out by the guards, her face was gloomy, her eyes were even more dull, and she seemed to be immersed in the tragic scene of Rong Chen she saw, and Xiao Lei was still waiting outside, seeing Chi Bi like this, she knew that she must have seen something bad, her face was pale, but she didn't hesitate, she just took Chi Bi from the hands of the guards without thinking, stopped him in her arms, and gently patted her thin back with one hand, comforting him silently。
And when he took Chi Bi to the inn where he lived, Xiao Lei even made tea for Chibi, which seemed to be inadvertent, and just asked lightly, "What happened, Rong Chen, is there something wrong?"
Chi Bi glanced at Xiao Lei, and then told Xiao Lei everything he saw in the cell, and Xiao Lei listened to what Chi Bi said, but his brows were tightly wrinkled, and he was silent for a long time, and suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily, "Uncle Huang this time, it is really too much, no matter how you say it, you can't torture to extract a confession, not to mention, there is no evidence to prove that this Rong Gongzi is the perpetrator, if you misunderstand a good person, but how is it good?!"
Chi Bi nodded his head, thinking in his heart that what the prince said was very correct, just like what the prince said, even if he caught Rong Chen on the spot, there is no evidence to prove that Rong Chen is the murderer of Honglian, let alone that he is the initiator of the serial murder case in Yuecheng, although Honglian's death method is exactly the same as that of the previous women, but Chi Bi can't imagine why Prince Ning is so concerned about this matter?! Even if he wants to be quick success, he shouldn't treat Rong Chen like this, and the prince Ning in Chi Bi's eyes doesn't seem to be such a person all along, when Chi Bi thinks of this, she only feels more and more confused, and she only feels that countless conspiracies and doubts in her mind are intertwined, so that she can't distinguish the direction, let alone know how to be good.
"Could it be that Uncle Cheng is trying to cover up something, or for someone, so he asked Rong Chen so urgently?" Xiao Lei took a sip of tea, and he didn't know if it was talking to himself.
"Where is the forced question, it is clearly a trick to be tortured, forcing Rong Chen to confess!" When Chi Biyi said this, she was angry and anxious, but as soon as these words came out, she seemed to remember something, and her eyes suddenly widened at the boss, and she was beaten into a trick?! She just patted her head, how could she not have thought that Prince Ning would not let anyone look at Rong Chen, and treat him like this in secret, this matter is indeed not so simple, it is very likely that Rong Chen is just a scapegoat, and Lord Ning must know that Rong Chen must be innocent, so he will treat him like this!
They are looking for a substitute for the dead ghost! As soon as Chi Bi thought of this, his face was as dead as ashes, and his body, which was still standing and pacing in the room, stood so stiffly, but he suddenly slumped on the chair, and for a moment, Chi Bi didn't know what to do, if Prince Ning really wanted Rong Chen to die, what could she do to stop it! And Xiao Lei, who was sitting next to Chi Bi at the moment, was looking at Chi Bi like this without blinking, but there was still a complicated look in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a strange smile at this time.
"Don't worry, if Rong Chen is really innocent, this king will definitely not let him be wronged. When Xiao Lei said this, he suddenly gently held Chi Bi's hand, his voice was as gentle as water, and his eyes were even more firm, something flashed in Chi Bi's eyes, but there was still Xiao Lei holding his hand, and he didn't break free, and the smile on the corner of Xiao Lei's mouth became more and more strange.
And when Chi Bi left the inn, when Xiao Lei watched her back disappear in front of his eyes, he thought about something thoughtfully for a while, and then slowly got up, but he walked in the direction of the yamen, and returned to the previous cell, and the guards who were originally guarding outside the cell were still respectful, "Subordinates see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The prince called them flat, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little cunning, "The acting skills of several people are very good, and now Chi Bi really believes that Uncle Ning Huang has harmed this Rong Chen like this, all of this is still thanks to the merits of a few people!"
Xiao Lei's smile became more and more dim under the dim light.
