The night was dark.

There was no moon on a dark night, the clouds were so low that even the stars were nowhere to be seen.

Without lighting the lantern, Yunqi led Mu Lianxiao, who was dressed in black, through the streets and alleys, and stopped outside a somewhat dilapidated and inconspicuous house.

Yunqi knocked on the door three times without hurrying, and after a while, a series of footsteps came from inside.

The wooden door opened, revealing a face darker than the night, and only those large, round eyes that made it more realistic.

Seeing that Yunqi was coming, Dahan turned sideways to lead people in, and after closing the door, he saluted Mu Lianxiao respectfully.

"Are people still locked up?" Yunqi asked Dahan in a low voice.

Dahan nodded again and again: "Closed, it's been locked in the firewood room." ”

There were candles lit in the firewood room, and they would be lit as soon as it was dark, and Mu Lianxiao glanced inside through the window.

One person was tied up and thrown in the corner, the whole person was sluggish, his eyes were scattered, it was Ma Dehai, and another person was guarding, sitting on the pestle by the door at this time, holding a bowl of Yangchun noodles and eating it fragrantly, the noodle soup seemed to be boiled with meat and bones, and the aroma was overflowing, even smelling outside the door, not to mention Ma Dehai inside.

Dahan moved the bench over, wiped it with a cloth, and said, "Master, you will be settled." ”

Mu Lianxiao bowed his head and sat outside the window, the outside was dark and bright, he could see Ma Dehai clearly, but Ma Dehai couldn't see him.

Yunqi whispered a few words to the big man, and the big man bowed his head, pushed open the door of the firewood room and entered.

Mu Lianxiao watched the big man interrogate Ma Dehai, his expression was calm, but his eyes were very focused, he paid attention to Ma Dehai's every move.

He knew that Ma Dehai was a tough guy who could endure it.

He only entered the palace as a chamberlain in his twenties, and if he didn't have the willpower that ordinary people don't have, he would have died when he was purified, and where would he still be alive.

Half a month ago, according to the plan, this swarthy man under Yunqi caught Ma Dehai who worshiped his father and mother outside Yanzishan Village.

Ma Dehai didn't know where the other party came from, so he naturally refused to be arrested, saying that his worship of his father and mother was an important matter in life, and he took the opportunity to catch him and beat him, but he didn't understand people's hearts and filial piety at all.

These words made the Han and his party lean forward and backward, and almost let Ma Dehai escape, but there were many of them, and they were all practitioners, Ma Dehai had no kung fu, so he was tied up and brought back to the capital.

Dahan told Yunqi about this as a joke, he said, Ma Dehai became a eunuch for a woman, and he dared to be filial piety in front of his father's grave.

Yunqi came to the house to take a look, and asked Dahan Haosheng to take care of it, give saliva and food, just don't give him sleep day and night, let him last for ten days and half a month, and then it will be easy to ask.

This is the kind of thing in the barracks to deal with the fine work, it doesn't take much effort, and it has an effect, and the big man is also a clear door, and he understands when he hears it, and he has been hanging Ma Dehai like this for half a month.

Ma Dehai would toss at first, but the trouble stopped after a few days, in the words of the big man, he couldn't even bite his tongue and kill himself, but Ma Dehai didn't know who he had offended, and no one asked him a question since he was arrested.

However, now Ma Dehai is clear.

The big man came in and asked about the paddock a few months ago.

On that day, there were two horses that had problems, Cai Wei of Princess Ruishi, Du Yunluo's snow suit, and Ma Dehai guarding the stable, it was impossible not to see both things.

If Ma Dehai remained awake, he could be sure that he didn't see anything, anyway, there was no evidence, as for his life, it was all in the hands of others, and it made no difference between truth and falsehood.

It's just that this half a month is too tormenting, someone looks at him day and night, doesn't let him sleep, and the food he gives is only enough to survive, Ma Dehai is already in a trance, and he can't smell the noodles eaten by the guards if they are fragrant.

Such a Ma Dehai can't think at all.

Ma Dehai didn't answer, he couldn't answer.

Dahan took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, opened it to reveal two meat buns, put them in front of Ma Dehai, and said, "Say it, you can eat it when you finish speaking." ”

Ma Dehai trembled all over, and asked Dahan to follow the inducements, and finally came out with a few intermittent words for a while.

Dahan tried to distinguish and figured out what Ma Dehai meant.

Ma Dehai said that it was a young man in his twenties who attacked Xueyi, and he hid aside to see the young man's appearance clearly, but the man didn't know whether it was a hand or a coward, so he kicked Xueyi in the chest halfway, and spit out a mouthful of blood at that time.

Dahan asked some more questions, and then he gave Ma Dehai two bites of steamed buns, but he didn't give him more to eat, first, he had been hungry for a long time, and it was not a good thing to eat more, and secondly, he was afraid that he would have the strength to toss again.

Dahan instructed to take care of the guard, and when he came out of the firewood room, Mu Lianxiao and Yunqi were no longer outside the window.

The big man hurriedly trotted out, found the two in the patio, and he stepped forward and asked, "Master, is this person still left?" ”

"Keep it for now." Mu Lianxiao's voice was low.

Dahan asked tentatively: "Did you want to catch someone and ask him to recognize him?" ”

Mu Lianxiao said coldly: "I'm afraid he can't even recognize himself now, who else can he recognize." ”

The big man touched his nose, since he can't recognize people, what are he doing left? Confused and confused, but Mu Lianxiao told to stay, then keep it, and there is no shortage of food for him.

Mu Lianxiao stood with his hands behind his back for a while, and said to Yunqi: "You ask someone to inquire, when you were in the paddock, someone from someone called the horse to kick and injured yourself." ”

Yun Qi was just about to nod, but he was suddenly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, his face was extremely ugly.

"Master......" Yunqi had a bitter face, looking like he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Mu Lianxiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "Say whatever comes to mind." ”

Yunqi glanced at Dahan awkwardly, and Dahan turned around and ran away under the pretext of stomach pain.

Yun Qi's heart was crossed, and he said: "Master, in late April, Xiao Liu'er's father Fang Sheng is gone, Xiao Liu'er's mother mentioned it, Fang Sheng began to vomit blood in a good manner, and wanted to ask him for a doctor, but Fang Sheng refused to spend money, saying that it was useless to ask for a doctor." After seven or eight days, the people were gone. I heard that there is a black mark here. ”

After speaking, Yunqi pointed to his chest.

Mu Lianxiao looked at Yunqi and said, "You want to say, it's Fang Sheng's hand?" Fang Sheng's father used to die on the battlefield with the fourth uncle, he was loyal and righteous, and over the years, the house has treated their family well, what did he do to harm Yunluo? ”

Yun Qi couldn't answer this question, he scratched his head, and said, "The slave just thought of it, master, the slave will go to Xiao Liu'er's house tomorrow to inquire." ”

Mu Lianxiao bowed her head and said: "Royal paddock, it stands to reason that Fang Sheng can't get in, you inquire carefully, don't blame Fang Sheng." ”

Yunqi should be next. (To be continued.) )
