This time, in addition to Lu Gao, there is another person. When Qiu Yinming, the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info entered the house, he saw Lu Gao sitting opposite a eunuch in his thirties drinking tea. The eunuch Qiu Yinming had never seen him, but seeing that he was dressed in a python robe with a jade belt around his waist, he was born with fine skin and tender meat, his hands were white, and his position was not low, and he was about the character under Cao Jixiang.

As soon as the eunuch saw Qiu Yinming, he put down the teacup, looked him up and down, and said, "It turns out that this is the famous Lord Qiu." Ah, Lord Lu, how do you make people like this, our family looks so distressed. ”

Lu Gao said: "I persuaded him in advance. But he didn't accept my affection. Alas, that day, the three lieutenants were exhausted, and he didn't say a word. Speaking of this, he raised his head and said to Qiu Yinming: "Master Qiu, why are you suffering?" ”

Qiu Yinming tried to stand up straight, and did not reply to Lu Gao's words, and said directly to the eunuch: "Dare to ask your father-in-law's surname?" But Gonggong Cao asked you to come to see me? ”

"Don't have your surname skin." The eunuch said, "Master Qiu, Gonggong Cao knows that you are an understanding person. Besides, seeing that you have always been well-versed in affairs in the past, and your political achievements are good, I really want to promote you. Look at what you've done this time. Eunuch Pi waved the lid of the teacup in one hand. Father-in-law Cao is both talented and benevolent, so let me persuade you again. Confess your sins and bow to him, things are still easy to say. ”

Lu Gao picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Father-in-law Pi, I advise you to talk less." was so tired that he was half dead and was coldly looked at by him. ”

Eunuch Pi said: "Master Qiu, I know that you are not pedantic, you must know this truth. ”

Qiu Yinming said: "I know very well. But I don't want to do it. ”

Lu Gao smiled and didn't speak. Eunuch Pi smiled, got up and stepped forward and said, "Lord Qiu, you have to weigh what you say." The court meal is not something that can be eaten without a sentence of 'don't do it'. In this way, I am indeed visiting you for Gonggong Cao today, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. It's better to send you two words of advice first, so that you can think about it for a few more days. He said to the captain on the side: "Come on, set up a seat for Lord Qiu." ”

The captain brought the chair, and the other two pressed Qiu Yinming up without saying a word. A few days ago, he was brutally whipped, and his whole body was beaten to pieces. was pressed onto the chair like this, Qiu Yinming couldn't help but scream. Immediately, his hands were tied behind his back.

Eunuch Pi didn't know when, he had already held a red-hot iron awl, stepped forward with a smile, and said to Qiu Yinming: "The first sentence, if you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work." Before the words fell, the iron awl stabbed from under Qiu Yinming's collarbone, along the front chest, and slowly slashed down to the ribs. The sharp cone pierced the skin, and the blood slid down, and in an instant it was burned with the flesh and white smoke.

Changing an iron cone, Eunuch Pi looked at the person in front of him who was trembling, but his eyes were extremely fierce, and his face showed a little uncomfortable. Then he put on a vicious smile and said, "The second sentence, I don't know the current affairs, and I am killing myself!" ”

The smell of burning skin and flesh filled the brick house, which made several lieutenants present unbearable to look at directly.

After finishing the matter, Eunuch Pi wiped his hands, took the tea handed by the captain, took a sip slowly, and said to Lu Gao: "It's not too early, I should go back and report to Gonggong Cao." He glanced at Qiu Yinming, who was exhausted and hung his head still, and said, "Maybe you're right." I'm afraid it's going to be a waste of work this time. ”

"Grandpa Pi is easy to go."

"Lord Lu, you do your best, our family will speak for you in front of Gonggong Cao."

“……”

Lu Gao sent Father-in-law Pi all the way out of the yamen, and Qiu Yinming was still carried back to the dungeon. When he collapsed into the grass again, he felt a little comfortable and secure for a moment, and closed his eyes and gasped for a moment, until the pain swept over again.

The boundless pain makes the thoughts in the heart nowhere to be stored, sometimes like a fire burning and hatred of blood rising, and sometimes like falling into an ice cellar and disheartened. After being escorted back to the dungeon from the torture room, Qiu Yinming's mind repeatedly appeared with the expression of Eunuch Pi speaking. Maybe it's really because I want to do too much, but I don't have the ability to control it all by myself. You can ask yourself, there is really no regret for what you have done this time.

Falling into this situation, he felt that this road had come to an end, and suddenly recalled the scene when he entered Beijing with Dongfang Yan, and he was full of emotion. Time seems to stand still in the dark, and I want to close my eyes and rest for a while, but my body no longer listens.

During the tossing and turning, he silently said: The rain is still raining, the rain is still raining, when will I be able to see you again.

This time, it didn't take long for the iron door to open again. Qiu Yin smiled bitterly to himself, didn't want to move, and still lay in the corner of the wall facing inward. After a while, he did not hear anyone shouting outside the door, but the footsteps of three people entered the cell one after another. He turned his head slowly.

The oil lamp illuminates the face of the person walking in front. Qiu Yinming was stunned for a moment, blinked, and looked at him carefully. It's not who is inaction!

Seeing him turn around, Wuwei's hand couldn't help shaking, the oil lamp almost overturned, two steps forward, leaned closer, and carefully helped him up, like a bean light, I saw his messy hair hanging down his face, his cheeks were sunken, and he was covered in blood, and said in a trembling voice: "Yinming, you ...... They ......" Seeing Wuwei's sad face and incoherent speech, Qiu Yinming smiled slightly: "Why are you here?" Take a closer look, Wu Wei was dressed as a man, and then looked up at the two behind him, one was Fan Ying, and the other was Gao Ye. Seeing that Gao Ye was coming, he suddenly felt a little excited in his heart, and grabbed Wuwei's hand and got up from the ground.

Wuwei looked at him with a painful face when he tossed, and hurriedly supported him and said, "Don't move." I'll give you the medicine. ”

Qiu Yinming turned around when he heard this, Wuwei handed the oil lamp to Gao Ye, took out a hand towel from the wooden box, soaked it in the bucket he brought, and began to help him clean his wounds. The shocking trauma made all three of them subconsciously hold their breath slightly. The bucket was filled with freshly fried potion, which was painful at first, but then brought a hint of coolness. Qiu Yinming asked softly, "Wuwei, when did you come to the capital?" ”

Wuwei listened to his hoarse voice and weak breath, and replied: "It's only been a few days since I arrived." The East is also coming. Seeing Qiu Yinming's surprised face, he hurriedly said: "It's a long story, and it's not clear now." You have internal injuries, stop talking. ”

After a while, Qiu Yinming turned his head again and asked, "Xiao Gao, how is your senior sister?" ”

Gao Ye paused a little and said, "She's here too." Now outside the city. As if he wanted to say something more, he kept silent.

Qiu Yinming didn't see Gao Ye's expression. These words were like a brilliant fire passing in front of him, and his heart suddenly poured down like a sweet spring, sweeping away the worries that had been lingering in his heart for the rest of the month, and the pain inside and outside seemed to have subsided a lot in an instant. With his head down, a smile floated up his cheeks.

Fan Ying squatted down in front of him and said: "Chengxian, I'm really sorry, I was actually kept in the dark by Cao Jixiang and Lu Gao, and I didn't know that you were imprisoned here until yesterday!" I didn't expect them to do such a thing to you so soon. Alas, let you suffer. Qiu Yinming smiled hard and said, "It's okay." I'm okay. Fan Ying said: "Time is pressing. I've arranged a way to get you out of the city. Just today. ”

Qiu Yinming was taken aback and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost ugly."

"This ......" Qiu Yinming was very puzzled, "How to arrange it?" ”

Fan Ying took out a gourd and a pottery cup from Lang's medicine box, put them in front of him, and said, "Don't worry. There's porridge made just for you, and a pot of medicine. You eat first, and I'll tell you about it now. Wu Wei said on the side: "The medicine is prepared by me in a hurry, you drink a pair first, it's better than nothing." Eat some porridge first, and then drink the medicine later. ”

Qiu Yinming obeyed. Fan Ying then elaborated the plan in such and such a way. After that, the three of them did not stay in the cell for a long time, and after Wuwei helped Qiu Yinming apply the medicine and bandage it properly, they left the dungeon. Before leaving, Fan Ying hurriedly said goodbye to Qiu Yinming. This is like parting ways, and there will be limited opportunities to meet in the future. Both of them are somewhat related.

Taking a sip of the medicine in the gourd, the heart that was originally sinking at the bottom of the valley was revived at this moment, and he couldn't calm down. learned from Fan Ying that he was able to come up with a way to save him from the city so quickly, relying on a relationship that had been carefully managed for many years, which had to be both fortunate and admirable.

After the trioster of the three divisions on the same day, Cao Jixiang immediately sent a secret message to the emperor and asked Dongchang to intervene in the investigation of the Huguang governor's case. The emperor was dazed by the unbelievable news that frequently broke out between the two trials, and naturally agreed. Cao Jixiang took the emperor's dictation and landed on Lu Gao, and secretly transferred Qiu Yinming to the Fusi dungeon in Beizhen. All this is hidden from Fan Ying. It wasn't until three days later that a lieutenant told Fan Ying that Fan Ying knew.

Nowadays, the relationship between several powerful figures in Beizhen Fusi is indeed complex and delicate. Although Cao Jixiang leans towards the government and the opposition, he is not very satisfied with Lu Gao, a henchman who obeys his words and pat horses. Lu Gao is very effective, but he is too inappropriate on weekdays, since he sat in the position of commander, he has become more unscrupulous, in just half a year, there have been several times to extort money and punish officials for no reason, and he is also very harsh to his subordinates on weekdays, so that Cao Jixiang feels that this person cannot be used for a long time.

Today's emperor treats Cao Jixiang very well, and he often consults with him on all matters in the court, no matter how big or small. But the emperor's thoughts, Cao Jixiang can not always figure it out, and the reason can only be attributed to the fact that the two are too far apart. Cao Jixiang is resolute, ruthless and decisive, while the emperor is a little indecisive and very nostalgic. When he was captured by the Warat Kingdom back then, the courtiers around him were scattered, not to mention that they had their own thoughts and sought a way out. At that time, Yuan Bin, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, followed from beginning to end, took care of his diet and daily life, and always comforted the emperor, eating more and thinking less. Because of this experience, the emperor treated Yuan Bin very kindly, and after the reinstatement, he was promoted to commander. Yuan Bin was in charge of patrolling the court, emcee and other ministries, and there was nothing about power, but because of his relationship with the emperor, many people flattered him. Moreover, because he was not very assertive and soft-hearted, the officials who often committed crimes privately asked him to intercede with the emperor, and most of them were allowed.

Fan Ying's family and Yuan Bin's family are world friends. At the beginning, Fan Ying went to Mobei to negotiate with Warat with the imperial historian who sent the envoy Wara, and also stayed by the emperor's side to protect for a long time, so he was also very familiar with the emperor. After returning to Beijing, because of his outstanding martial arts, he has been serving in the Fusi of Beizhen, down-to-earth, sensible, and has a good relationship with his colleagues. After a long time, Cao Jixiang lost his patience and went with him.
