Chapter 332
After a short time, two eunuchs grabbed Si Jiepan's arm and escorted him to Kangxi.
When Julia saw Sjepan, she couldn't help but feel sad, only to see that his blond hair was messy as grass, his face was full of fear, his mouth was open, and his body trembled like chaff.
Pushed and kneeling on the ground by those eunuchs, Sjepan's two hands were still touching around on the ground, and happened to touch the corner of Yinzhen's robe next to him, he became excited, grabbed Yinzhen's arm along the corner of the robe, and wrote vigorously in the palm of his hand.
There is no need to ask, Julia also understands what he wrote, it must be asking about the whereabouts of the ninth elder brother.
Yin Zhen pressed him hard, and then, writing in the palm of his hand, told him that he was the fourth elder brother.
After figuring it out, Sjepan suddenly grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously!
His mouth opened and closed, as if desperately trying to say something, but unfortunately there was no sound.
His expression was twisted and stiff, as if he was crying, and as if he was angry.
In this way, together with Li De next to him, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
Kangxi frowned and waved his hand: "That's it, fourth, you take him back first, ask what you want, and then tell me." ”
Leaving Da Nei with Sjiepan, Yinzhen comforted him all the way, he told Sjiepan that he would stay at his house for now, and he would have to find out about Lao Jiu's affairs.
When he arrived at the palace, Yinzhen asked Gao Wuyong to hold Sjepan, he took the foreigner's hand and walked all the way to his study.
When the servants of the palace saw this strange scene, they all secretly smacked their tongues. They also heard about today's tragedy in the palace, and many people thought that it was this foreigner who caused trouble and harmed Brother Jiu, and at this moment, seeing that their prince brought this "scourge spirit" home, they couldn't help but get anxious.
However, in view of Yinzhen's consistent style of internal independence, no one dared to come forward to say more.
Placed Si Jie Pan down, asked someone to change his clothes, Yin Zhen brought tea and food again, he grabbed Si Jie Pan's hand, let him touch the rice bowl, and let him touch the teacup, but they were all pushed away by Stepan shaking his head.
Yin Zhen understood that Sjepan was too anxious to eat or drink.
He had to write in the palm of Sjepan's hand: "Don't worry, live here with me tonight, Lao Jiu is in the Internal Affairs Mansion, he is the prince, and no one else dares to do anything to him." ”
Sjepan grabbed Yinzhen's hand and wrote anxiously: "What's wrong with him!" Why is he in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? What is the Interior Office? Prison? ”
Yin Zhen only realized this, it turned out that Sjepan didn't know anything.
So he had to tell what the eighth elder brother told him bit by bit to Si Jiepan, of course, from the perspective of Kangxi's group of bystanders.
After listening to Yinzhen's explanation, Si Jiepan was stunned for a long time, opening his mouth, obviously he was also shocked!
After a while, he asked Yinzhen: "Why did Yinzhen kill people?" ”
Yin Zhen sighed: "We don't know this." So the emperor locked you up, just to ask you, I don't know why. Sjepan, what did you feel at the time? Are there any clues? ”
Si Jie Pan shook his head, and he told Yinzhen what little he felt: he was placed in the empty room at the back of Yifei's palace by Brother Jiu, and halfway, Brother Jiu came to look for him with snacks, and as soon as he sat down, he felt that the door was pushed open and someone came in.
"It's that Peach." "I remember the scent of her, and she placed me there an hour ago," he said. ”
Yin Zhen frowned, could it be that what this palace maid said and did to Lao Jiu caused Lao Jiu to go crazy?
But an ordinary palace maid, what is she capable of stimulating Brother Jiu like that?
After a while, Si Jie Pan trembled and wrote in Yinzhen's hand: "Bi Tao likes Brother Jiu." Brother Jiu also likes her. ”
Yin Zhen was speechless, even if Sjepan told him the details of this kind of children's affection, it would be useless.
And this is even more incomprehensible: since they are happy with each other, it is even more impossible for Lao Jiu to kill her!
…… Not to mention the torture and killing, the scene is so bloody and brutal.
Could it be that Bi Tao has some unsavory secret about Brother Jiu, and she used this to threaten each other, which caused Brother Jiu to go crazy?
Yinzhen thought about it, but still felt unreasonable. He even has a kind of certainty: no matter how close Brother Jiu and that palace maid are, they can't be as close as his own group. He and the eighth elder brother are the partners who have common secrets with the ninth elder brother, outsiders, no matter how deep the relationship is, it can't be deep for them.
Or maybe it's about men and women? Yin Zhen doesn't think either, not to mention how strict the management of the inner palace is, even if there is really a sexual/love color in it, Lao Jiu, a guy who is as diligent as changing girlfriends and changing shirts, can still take this seriously? Even if the palace maid puts the sex/love video of the two in front of Kangxi, it is impossible for Brother Jiu to be crazy about it, and according to Brother Jiu's character, if this kind of thing really happens, he will only patiently deal with the other party, how can he come up and start fighting?
Just thinking about it, Yinzhen felt that Sjepan grabbed his hand again, and continued to write on it: "...... Brother Nine and that Bi Tao were scuffling. Occasionally, Brother Jiu bumped into me, occasionally, Bi Tao bumped into me, and sometimes I was smashed by a chair. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled open his trouser leg and poked his calf to show Yinzhen, where there was a large bruise.
Sjepan continued: "Later, Bi Tao grabbed my shoulders with both hands, and she grabbed me so much that I felt like my shoulders were bleeding. ”
Yin Zhen was taken aback, he reached over and pulled off Sjepan's collar, sure enough! Deep pinch marks were evident on the shoulders, and they were scratched in places.
"Why?" Yinzhen asked him.
Sjepan shook his head: "I don't know what Bi Tao is going to do to me, but I feel that Brother Nine is blocking her." He tried his best to pull Peach away from me. ”
Yinzhen is even more confused!
He even began to suspect that Bi Tao was a female assassin who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored her sight - that's not right, if that's the case, Brother Jiu is too arrogant!
Besides, against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of sight, why did she kill Sjepan?
Knowing that it would be in vain to guess any longer, Yinzhen didn't ask anymore, he only told Si Jiepan that he would eat and drink water first, and rest for one night, he would go to inquire about the news early tomorrow morning, and he would definitely keep Brother Jiu safe.
After repeated persuasion, Sjepan drank some water and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Yinzhen went to the Eighth Elder Brother's side, and it just so happened that the Tenth Elder Brother was already waiting there.
He told him what he told him last night and his two younger brothers, and the two of them reacted the same as Yinzhen, completely not understanding what was going on.
"It seems that I have to ask Lao Jiu." Eighth Elder Brother frowned and said, "Lao Jiu must have a hard time!" And it's a pain that others can't understand. If others can't understand it, maybe we can. ”
"But we can't see Brother Nine now." The tenth elder brother trembled and said, "I went to the palace yesterday to inquire, Huang Ama was very angry, no one was allowed to see the ninth brother, and the fifth brother also went to beg, and he was not allowed, Concubine Yi knelt on the ground and cried, begging the emperor Ama to be kind, but Huang Ama was even more angry and scolded her for giving birth to such a ...... Such a thing that is inferior to a beast, and said that the ninth brother is a well-dressed deer and should be killed. ”
The eighth elder brother was furious and slammed the table: "Confused old man! If you don't ask anything clearly, you will sentence people to death! ”
Brother Ten panicked and hurriedly persuaded him to whisper.
Yin Zhen sighed, "It's just that at this moment, I can't even mention the word Lao Jiu." ”
As a result, the three of them discussed all morning, but they didn't come up with a solution.
Yin Zhen returned to the palace in a gloomy manner, Si Jiepan was waiting there, and when he felt him enter the house, the foreigner hurriedly leaned forward, which meant that he wanted to ask about the situation.
Yinzhen was very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to tell Si Jiepan, so he could only say that he was asking someone to inquire, but at the moment, Kangxi didn't allow anyone to see Brother Jiu, and the situation was stalemate.
Sjepan thought for a moment, and then, he took Yinzhen's hand and wrote on it: "I want to go to see the emperor." ”
Yin Zhen was stunned: "What did you think of?" ”
But Sjepan only wrote in the palm of his hand: "Fourth master, let me go to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor." ”
Yin Zhen couldn't resist him, so he had to agree.
In the afternoon, he went into the palace and told Kangxi that Si Jiepan wanted to meet the Son of Heaven.
"Could it be that he has something to hide from me, and finally figured it out and wants to talk to me?" Kangxi asked coldly.
Yin Zhen bowed his head and said: "Erchen doesn't know, he only insists on seeing Huang Ama." ”
Kangxi nodded: "Okay, tomorrow, after the dispersal of the court, you bring him into the palace." ”
The next day, Yinzhen went to the court, he brought Si Jie Pan into the palace and placed him in the court room, Yin Zhen told him that he would wait patiently here, and when the court was dispersed, he would take Si Jie Pan to see Kangxi.
The rest of the ministers were very surprised when they saw that Prince Yong had brought this blind foreigner into the palace, and when they heard that it was the emperor who wanted to see him.
Including the one or two officials who were also Westerners, they also stared at Sjepan with the same amazement, as if in their eyes, this foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes like them was an alien creature, and as if they were afraid of being misunderstood by their Chinese colleagues, they refused to step forward and avoided it.
People's psychological rejection of the different and the identification with the same kind are really the strongest force in the world, Yinzhen can't help but think.
Only the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother stepped forward, the eighth elder brother shook Si Jiepan's hand to show encouragement, and the tenth elder brother trembled and wrote in the palm of his hand: Be careful, don't offend my father, otherwise my ninth brother will be finished.
Sjepan nodded solemnly after understanding.
He waited alone in the court room for two hours, and then he felt that his hand was pulled up, it was Yinzhen's hand.
Led by Yinzhen, Sjepan followed him slowly, walked and walked, walked for about half an hour, and then felt that he had entered a room, and the hot sun was gone, replaced by cool air, and the fragrance of potted plants.
Then, Sjepan felt Yinzhen signaling him, so he slowly helped Yinzhen to kneel.
Kangxi put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked at the respectful foreigner on the ground.
"What do you want to say to me?"
Yinzhen wrote Kangxi's words on Sjiepan's hand as they were, and then waited for Sjiepan's reply.
Sjepan said, "Please let the emperor release Brother Jiu." ”
Yin Zhen frowned, and didn't mention that the wording was messy and unruly, just the meaning of this would also anger Kangxi.
But he couldn't help but give a translator, so he said to Kangxi: "Huang Ama, he implored Huang Ama to release Brother Jiu." ”
Sure enough, Kangxi's face sank: "He killed someone!" You told me to release a murderer?! ”
Sjepan wrote again: "There must be a reason why Brother Jiu killed someone, and I dare to guarantee that he is innocent." ”
Yin Zhen sighed, it was this kind of self-talk request again.
He had no choice but to say: "Huang Ama, he said that he guaranteed that Brother Jiu was innocent." ”
Kangxi nodded: "Okay, innocent, where is the evidence!" ”
"There's no evidence, I believe him," said Sjepan. ”
Yinzhen is going to kneel for him, doesn't this add fuel to the fire!
He simply didn't translate for Kangxi, and directly said to Sjepan: "It's not okay to talk like this!" The emperor is going to be angry, which is even more unfavorable to Lao Jiu! ”
Sjepan was stunned, he thought for a moment, and wrote: "I am willing to guarantee with my life." Please ask the emperor to imprison me and release Brother Jiu. ”
Yinzhen was helpless, so he had to express his meaning to Kangxi. Kangxi snorted.
"This foreigner didn't kill anyone, what did I do with him? Isn't that nonsense! ”
After Si Jiepan understood, he wrote: "Why doesn't the emperor refuse to ask Brother Jiu? ”
Kangxi was even more displeased: "I asked, I asked all night!" He didn't say a word! ”
"The emperor is too fierce, so Yinyu refuses to talk about it. I asked, and he would say. ”
Yin Zhen grinned, this is ......
He had no choice but to translate it into a more respectful tone: "Huang Ama, he said that he came to ask Brother Jiu, and Brother Jiu refused to tell others, but he would definitely talk about him." ”
Kangxi sneered: "What kind of thing is he!" Lao Jiu is only willing to tell him? Who is he from Lao Jiu? ”
Yin Zhen relayed this to Sjepan, and he saw that Sjepan's face was gloomy.
After a while, he wrote on Yinzhen's hand: "I am nothing. But I believe in Brother Jiu, he will not lie to anyone who lies. ”
This was told to Kangxi, and Kangxi was speechless for a while.
Then he waved his hand: "It's all nonsense!" Fourth, take this foreigner down, and don't waste your time here. ”
Yin Zhen felt sad, he had to tug Sjepan's sleeve, and then told him Kangxi's words.
Unexpectedly, when Sjepan heard this, he became angry!
I saw him clenching his hands into fists and pounding the ground! With an angry face, he pointed at Kangxi with his finger, his lips closed as if he was talking, and everyone could see that he was angry and scolding!
This time Kangxi was also on fire, he rushed to Sjepan in three or two steps, simply grabbed his hand, and wrote on it himself. Si Jiepan understood, and also wrote on Kangxi's hand, and the two talked back and forth. Yinzhen was on the side, he wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it, and he didn't know what Kangxi and Si Jiepan said.
Finally, Kangxi let go of Sjepan's hand, and he stared coldly at the foreigner, while the latter had a look of indifference on his face, just looking up proudly.
In that way, he didn't look like a little ordinary man kneeling on the ground at all, but like a king who wanted to fight against Kangxi.
After a long time, Yinzhen heard Kangxi say: "Li Dequan." ”
"The minions are here!"
"Go to the Internal Affairs Office and bring Lao Jiu here."
When Yinzhen heard this, he was overjoyed!
Li Dequan left as ordered, the room fell silent again, Yinzhen looked at Sijiepan, and then looked at Kangxi. He finally dared to say, "Huang Ama, what did you say to Si Jiepan just now?" ”
Kangxi snorted from his nose, that look, contemptuous, and confused.
"I told him that he was so bold, aren't you afraid that I will kill him?"
"And how did he answer?!"
"He wrote in the palm of my hand: Not afraid, not afraid, not afraid. I'm not afraid of three in a row. ”
Yin Zhen was surprised, Sjepan is looking for death!
"I continued, Brother Jiu has committed a capital crime, and no one can intercede for him!"
"And what did he say?!"
"He said that if I dare to kill Brother Jiu unjustly, he will definitely avenge Brother Jiu," Kangxi said this, and even smiled, "He said that when the time comes, he will find someone to arrest me and publicly try me for my crimes, no matter how clever I look...... Well, that word is a lawyer, no matter how clever a lawyer is, it's useless, he must send me to the electric chair - fourth, what is the electric chair? What is a lawyer? Is that what the lawyer means? ”
Yinzhen almost fell to the ground!
He covered his face and lamented in his heart, it was so rare that Sjepan was still alive at this moment!
How could Kangxi bear not to pull him out and chop him alive!
At this moment, he heard the sound of clanging, Yinzhen looked up and saw that the people from the Internal Affairs Office came into the house with Brother Jiu, who was wearing iron chains wrapped in yellow silk on his body, and his wrists were also shackled, so he walked with a clanging sound.
Before Yinzhen could come back to his senses, Si Jiepan beside him suddenly jumped up!
As if he could see it, the big foreigner hurried towards Brother Jiu! He was so hasty that he didn't run two steps, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground heavily!
Yin Zhen panicked, rushed up to help Sjiepan, but before he could get to him, Sjiepan stumbled up, and didn't even care about wiping the blood on his forehead, so he only rushed to Brother Jiu and hugged him!
Kangxi was stunned and looked at the scene in front of him!
Sjepan had fallen so hard that his clothes were torn, and a big gash had come out of his forehead, and at this moment, blood was flowing down the top of his head, which looked extremely terrible.
But he didn't seem to notice it, he just hugged Brother Jiu tightly, his lips were closed one by one, and the expression on his face was like crying and laughing, which made people unbearable to look at it suddenly.
Brother Jiu also hugged him tightly, a strange whimper came out of his throat, he was trembling all over, his legs seemed to be unable to stand, and he slowly collapsed to the ground. Sjepan also knelt down, but he still hugged Brother Jiu tightly.
Yin Zhen stood aside, looking at the scene in front of him, and the sourness in his heart was indescribable.
Finally, he whispered tentatively: "Old Nine? ”
His call, as if calling for a soul, Brother Jiu slowly raised his head.
Yin Zhen calmed down, and said slowly: "Lao Jiu, don't be afraid, Huang Ama is here, what grievances do you have, you say, I will help you explain to Huang Ama and Huang Ama again." ”
"Fourth brother." Brother Jiu's teeth bumped, and his voice changed tone and said, "Bi Tao, she...... Bi Tao, she turned into a zombie. ”
The last two words poured into his ears, and Yinzhen was like being hit by five thunders!
He got it all! (To be continued.) )
