Xun Zhan interrogated Meng Sheng, and went to the place of interrogation in prison, where there were so many torture instruments that people would feel cold all over their bodies when they thought of it.

Meng Sheng stayed in prison for more than ten days, although he looked like normal when talking to people, but the prison conditions were difficult, and his face was inevitably a little pale, perhaps because he was adapted to the darkness, he would still reach out to cover his eyes when he walked to a place where there was light.

Rong Wan stood behind Meng Sheng, her eyes never left Meng Sheng's back, before she saw this, her heart couldn't help but feel sour, she had been in prison for dozens of days, but she didn't know how he came over.

Meng Sheng seemed to feel that Rong Wan was looking at him, and suddenly turned his head, because of the bright light, his eyes kept squinting slightly, if he looked at it from a distance, he thought he was with his eyes closed.

Rong Wan bit her lip tightly, trying to suppress her emotions so as not to cry out loud, she thought that Meng Sheng couldn't see it, but in fact, Meng Sheng saw it, he deliberately slowed down and was about to walk with Rong Wan.

The palm of his hand stretched back, and he happened to hold the hand that Rong Wan was holding in front of him.

The skin on which her fingers were located was cold.

She raised her head, but saw that although Meng Sheng was squinting, he shook his head at her with a sideways face, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a warm smile, signaling her not to worry.

But how could she not worry, for more than ten days, she was sitting in the house, unable to eat, unable to sleep at night, **** came to this prison, hoping that the cell head could open the net and let her in, but every time she was disappointed.

She naturally went to the Marquis of Changping's mansion, but the Marquis of Changping said that the saint was furious this time, and he couldn't let Rongwan enter the prison at this time, and the officials of the criminal department received the holy decree from the saint. I don't dare to pretend to be public and private.

She didn't know many people in Beijing, so no one could respond.

It was not the first time that Rong Wan felt isolated, but this time, it was even more serious.

In the last life, the sixth princess was still in the temple and did not return, and she did not meet Meng Sheng, so naturally this incident did not happen, but on the day they got married, Meng Sheng was pierced through the heart by an arrow, she cried hoarsely in her throat, and she could only see that he was lifeless.

And this life. He was in prison for so long. Life and death are fateful, but I don't know yet, but now I look at Meng Sheng's lifeless appearance, but it coincides with the appearance of the previous life.

They just shook hands with each other. Walk through the long passages in the prison. Until we got to the information room. Xun Zhan turned around and couldn't help frowning when he saw their fleeting clenched hands. looked at Rong Wan and said, "Who allowed you to come over?" ”

Only then did Xun Zhan not say anything to let Rong Wan leave, and Rong Wan was very concerned about this matter, so she followed Meng Sheng to the interrogation room.

Rong Wan bowed her head and saluted, "Please also ask Uncle Rong Awan to be here." ”

Xun Zhan glanced at her, didn't rush to catch up, just walked around the room, and then pointed to a utensil hanging on the wall and said, "Do you recognize what it is?" ”

Rong Wan looked up at the wall, and it was a long piece of iron, with an oval discus on the head and a slightly thicker tail for people to hold with their hands. I saw Xun Zhan pick up the discus and roast it in the fire on the side for a while, until the discus was red, then he picked it up and slowly walked into Meng Sheng.

Rong Wan just didn't understand, and she also knew that Xun Zhan was going to brand the red discus on Meng Sheng.

She gritted her teeth, took two steps forward, and walked to Meng Sheng's side, just in the middle of Meng Sheng and Xun Zhan, Meng Sheng grabbed her sleeve, with a little eagerness in her tone, and said softly, "Ah Wan, what are you doing?" ”

She shook her head, but met Xun Zhan's disapproving gaze, and said with a stiff face, "Uncle Guo understands righteousness and will not abuse lynching." ”

Xun Zhan snorted lightly, raised the soldering iron and glanced at it, even if he had been away from the fire for so long, he still had the power he should have, he sent the soldering iron forward, no more than three feet away from Rong Wan, which made Rong Wan break out in a deep cold sweat.

Just listen to the bang, the sound of the soldering iron fell in response, sitting in the basin of water not far from Rong Wan, the sound was hideous, it is not difficult to find out what kind of miserable situation it will be if it falls on the person's body.

Xun Zhan clapped his hands, looked at Rong Wan and said, "My uncle has always been used to being casual, if he accidentally does something to him, it is extremely normal." ”

Rong Wan saw him walk in front of the rows of torture instruments again, pointed to one of them and said, "Do you want to see me use this object on Meng Sheng?" ”

Rong Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Please also ask Uncle Guo to open up the net." ”

Meng Sheng bypassed Rong Wan, turned his back to Xun Zhan, looked at her deeply, and said pitifully, "Ah Wan, you go back first, I'm fine." ”

She shook her head, "Meng Lang, I can't leave you alone anymore. ”

Although Xun Zhan was blocked by Meng Sheng's back, his eyes were still as cold as a man's back, and a cold voice sounded behind him, "You are so affectionate, it is better to suffer together." ”

Meng Sheng sighed, turned around, looked at Xun Zhan, and said, "Please wait a while for Uncle Guo, she will go back immediately." ”

Xun Zhan didn't say anything, and acquiesced to Meng Sheng's words.

Meng Sheng turned his head again and looked at Rong Wan, "Ah Wan, if something happens to you, I will not be at ease in this life, you go back first, I will come back soon." ”

Rong Wan looked at Meng Sheng, and those watery eyes were reflected in Meng Sheng's heart, and he couldn't help but think of the sixth princess who visited him in prison and didn't open his mouth until he left, "Where is Luo's Rongwan?" ”

At this moment, he finally understood that maybe the person in front of him is not good in the eyes of others, she stands in front of you, and you want to live with her for the rest of your life, which is the best place for her.

Rong Wan finally followed Meng Sheng's wishes, and even though she was reluctant, she still withdrew from prison.

And as soon as Rong Wan left, no one knew what Xun Zhan said to Meng Sheng.

In fact, during the time when Meng Sheng was imprisoned, the officials in the court were divided into two factions, one was the flattering faction, the other was the Geng Zhi faction, the flattering faction was to resolutely support His Majesty, and take His Majesty's meaning as their meaning, His Majesty said one, they never said two, most of these officials were officials of the six ministries and below, and they led the court on weekdays but had no real power, for fear of making mistakes and being deposed by His Majesty.

Geng Zhipai is the imperial historian of Zai Zhi and Yushitai, who speculates on His Majesty's meaning on weekdays and distinguishes between good and bad. If it is good, it will naturally be in favor, and if it is bad, it should be opposed, and the imperial historian is responsible for supervising the dereliction of duty and illegal behavior of the court and princes and officials.

On that day, Meng Sheng openly resisted in front of the Meng Mansion, and the people had already figured out the ins and outs of the future, but His Majesty forcibly ordered him to marry the sixth princess, and Meng Sheng had a deep affection for Luo's Rong and was unwilling to marry.

In the eyes of the people, one already has a wife, and then another wife is married. It's disrespectful to the original match. But the six princesses are helplessly classified as princesses, and they must not be concubines, otherwise where will the majesty of the royal family be placed.

Therefore, it is also a pity for this champion who is in his prime. After all, today's saint is too willful and has to marry the sixth princess to him as a wife. Meng Sheng, an official in the DPRK and China, refused. It is also unlucky to provoke a crime of deception.

On this day, he went to the early dynasty, and the imperial history of the court endured for more than ten days. In the end, they couldn't bear it anymore, and they wrote to ask the saint to let Meng Sheng go, and some flattering officials made a statement, saying that Meng Sheng was a person who had no one in his eyes, and he did not obey the decree, and should have been sentenced to death, but now the saint has been merciful to spare him from death.

The two factions quarreled in the court, and the saint who was sitting on the dragon chair only felt that the green tendons in his brain were jumping, and he glanced at Gao Dequan.

Gao Dequan nodded slightly, and then said in a sharp voice, "Let's talk about this matter again, there is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat." ”

The officials of the court stopped talking, looked at His Majesty sitting on the dragon chair in amazement, and knew that His Majesty's silence was a precursor to anger, so they stopped arguing.

However, the saint saw that the court was finally quiet, and he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, so he glanced at Gao Dequan, Gao Dequan said a retreat, and left the dragon chair.

Gao Dequan followed behind the saint, but stopped several officials, "Wang Shenzhi, Fan Yushi, please stay, stay." ”

Those officials wanted to follow the advice of the saint, but seeing this scene, they were afraid that they would not be in a hurry, and if they made the saint angry, they might also lose their heads, so they stopped.

Gao Dequan nodded to these officials, and then followed the distant saints.

The saint sat in the imperial study, and his anger in the court was not calm, and he sat on the dragon chair for a while, and when he saw Gao Dequan, who had returned after a long time, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't it wrong for me?" ”

Gao Dequan bowed his head, where did he dare to say that the saint was wrong, but said, "Your Majesty loves her daughter, and she loves her daughter, where is there anything wrong, but that Meng Jialangjun doesn't appreciate it, and that Mengjialangjun has no blessing." ”

The saint glanced at Gao Dequan, not only a little irritated and said, "Come on, get up!" ”

Gao Dequan bowed his head again, said yes, and then walked to the side of the saint, poured a cup of tea for the saint, and then stood aside.

The saint flipped through the folds piled on the table, looked at it a few times, but was even more upset, but he was even more upset, but he was a waiter who made a mistake and was imprisoned, although it was mixed, but the shadow of him everywhere in the folds still made the saint not only upset.

After a few glances, he snapped and threw the fold on the table.

Shengshang paused, but looked at Gao Dequan again, "Go and find Uncle Guo." "Let him go to interrogate Meng Sheng, he should have come over to explain the situation, but it was delayed for two days.

Gao Dequan answered, and walked out of the imperial study.

Xun Zhan was in the martial arts training ground of Xun Zhai, he was carrying Xun Ce to shoot arrows, Xun Ce's arm strength was insufficient, and he was being trained by Xun Zhan, so he saw the servants at home leading this inner servant to the martial arts training ground.

Xun Ce was relieved, thinking that the savior was coming, and his two arms were so tired that he drooped down.

Unexpectedly, Xun Zhan slapped Xun Ce's shoulder, called Xun Ce to ouch, and looked at Xun Zhan aggrievedly, "Second brother, you light." ”

Xun Zhan glanced at him and ignored him, and saw that the chamberlain had already walked in front of him and saluted respectfully, so he bowed his head and said, "Uncle Guo, Your Majesty invites you to come to the palace." ”

"What?" If the saint has nothing to do, he rarely summons him to the palace.

The chamberlain relayed Gao Dequan's words to Xun Zhan as they were, so that Xun Zhan could have a response when he passed.

Xun Zhan nodded, looked at the lazy Xun Ce on the side, and said, "Come with me to see Your Majesty!" ”

Xun Ce was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand, although he wanted to be lazy very much, but for such a thing as seeing His Majesty, he might as well be tempered in the martial arts training ground for an hour or two, "Your Majesty is looking for the second brother, you must have something, I won't get involved." ”

Xun Zhan not only ignored Xun Ce's flattering expression, but also ignored his words, grabbed Xun Ce's placket, and dragged him away from the martial arts training ground, while still saying to the attendant on the side, "Wait, go change your clothes." ”

The waiter responded, and the servant on the side went to the front hall.

Fang has been in the martial arts training ground for a long time, and his body is very sticky after all, so he should naturally change his clothes, so as not to collide with His Majesty.

In this way, Xun Zhan entered the palace, and it was also an hour later, and the saint had long run out of effort, and he also approved most of the disturbing folds on the table. And most of them approved the word "read", which means reconsideration.

finally listened to the report of the servant, and the two uncles of Xunfu came.

Shengshang's face darkened, he obviously only ordered Xun Zhan to come, why did Xun Ce also follow?

Although the color of the saint was not very good, the two of them still entered the imperial study.

Xun Zhan and Xun Ce entered the imperial study and saluted the saint in a proper manner, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

The saint coughed dryly twice, pretending to have nothing to do, "Ace is here too." ”

Xun Ce raised his head, nodded awkwardly, and said, "The minister hasn't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I miss it very much." "It's strange to miss it, if it weren't for the second brother who had to pull him up, he wouldn't want to step further at the palace gate.

However, Xun Ce's flamboyant tongue was weird, and he stopped in the ears of the saint, but he was happy, and asked Xun Ce with concern, "I haven't seen Ah Ce for a while, but Ah Ce has been engaged?" ”

Xun Ce's face stiffened, but he wanted to cry without tears, no one knew as well as him, how much His Majesty in front of him cared about his life's affairs, he could see His Majesty five times a year, and every five times His Majesty had to ask him if he had ever been engaged?

No matter how dissatisfied Xun Ce was, he couldn't be dissatisfied in front of His Majesty, so he had to reply, "The minister is still young, and the brother is undecided, so the minister doesn't dare to be in front." ”

In a word, he pushed the matter to Xun Zhan, but Xun Zhan's face did not change, as if someone else was speaking.

Shengshang glanced at Xun Zhan and quipped, "Ah Zhan, you are in the way of Ah Ce, do you want to find a daughter from a good family to make peace with you?" ”

Yes, Your Majesty's favorite thing has always been to be a matchmaker, hasn't he been a matchmaker recently?

Of course, Xun Ce didn't dare to say this outright, but he didn't dare, someone dared.

Sure enough, I saw Xun Zhan look at the saint and said slowly, "It seems that Lang Jun, who has recently been reconciled by His Majesty, is already in the prison of the Criminal Department, please spare Weichen!" ”

Sheng Yi was stunned and glared at Xun Zhan, but he was not angry, his face was very embarrassed, but he smiled, "Since you mentioned this matter, I asked you to interrogate Meng Sheng that day, why is there no news?" ”

Xun Zhan shook his head and said, "Meng Sheng refuses to let go, and he doesn't want to marry the sixth princess as his wife, which is the same as before the minister went." Since it was the same, he didn't waste any time talking about these useless things.

Speaking of Meng Sheng, Shengshang's eyebrows furrowed again, and he looked at Xun Zhan and said, "Ah Zhan, what can you do?" ”

Xun Zhan pondered for a moment, looked at the saint, and said seriously, "There is a way." ”

Then he looked at the saint, "Put the sixth princess in prison and stay with Meng Sheng for a few days, maybe Meng Sheng will cherish the reputation of the sixth princess and marry her." ”

After speaking, as Xun Zhan expected, the saint's face was completely black, and the six princesses favored by the saint joked that there was no one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty except Xun Zhan. (To be continued.) )
